"will not help much since 15 feb 2013 update of GoldSrc :Dfor other mods and patches go Hl.loess.ru"
What's the point of uploading it then?
works like a charm, great work
Great job man, hat off to ya
It' unimaginative and bland. The environment is way too simple even for Goldsource standards.
not bad at all
Go freredarme, fingers crossed you get the shiny spotlight :)
LoL srsly xD
Looks like the first "mod" that was made in the hl2 beta
steaming hot, nice
Desura still acts up really bad for many hl1 and hl2 mod f-ing up files and versions. I thought the beta was OK but with every newer version and more mods being added it got worse. Unless there has been sam huge improvement I'd prefer to keep off of Desura a little more.
95,6% moar WUB WUB!
goes both ways bud ;) I would think it's more confusing to live in a country that has a couple of time zones, rather than being in one
Spam in a box much, that what that is. It's on every single Source or Gold Source game.
if only the Steam page get's up :/
he's keeping the servers cool ;)
nah I'm part of the Bulgarian translation
Looking sharp as ever ;) definitively got a vote from me
Looks way too bloky
No one is stopping the W3 mod community of using the name event though it's under trade mark. IceFrog mey not have invented dota but he perfect it and he kept working on it, so I see no big deal about it, Valve ain't seemingly doing anything to prevent Blizzard from using the "DOTA" in their iteration so... I don't see a valid point here. If Blizzard were to take action first they would have done the same, that Valve did.
It's clearly just a re-skin
Interesting ideas, but awful design choices.
U mad?
oh my beta zombie :D
Sarcasm self tests detected. Successful. ;)
some gifts I got from Valve, as a thanks for the work we put in translating Steam
Interesting redesign. I am not sure I like the base though.
Axe me a question!
hardly, it's still stretched as hell, it doesn't matter if it's different pic.
Part of what makes it so funny is exactly how much out of place it looks. Would look good in some mod that doesn't take itself too seriously ;)
That does look like an impressive idea for overhauling.
I just don't get why do updates for ORION: Prelude are also posted here. I mean by now everyone knows about it, and a newcomer might get confused that this is for the Orion: Source Multiplayer Beta.
Cuz now communism's the new punk movement LOL! Kind of sad though.
Nice map.
That's good. Releasing something, maybe not polished enough, but you get feedback and you can improve on it.

Home. My take on this trip, my feelings..
... felt happy, disappointed, lucky, amazed, upset etc.. We over here in Europe are very lucky, I am very lucky.. All the opportunities I get. There is a big contrast between poor and rich in India. And even the poorest people, living on the streets can be extremely happy. We got the most beautiful heartbreaking smiles. Rich people live a nice live, very much like ours.

Lots of thinking to do, I don't want to just fall back into routine. Too many I's here...but everyone should witness what really goes on. It's not possible to deal with the emotional impact it has on you there, or you would get no where.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Client Communication and Miscommunication RIA policies and procedures must specify what type of communications should be retained. The safest course of action is for RIAs to retain all communicationsto clients, from clients, and about client accounts. To comply with fiduciary obligations, communications must be thorough and not mislead.
- Registration Requirements for Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs) When individuals launch an advisory firm, they must avoid marketing themselves or the firm as investment advisors before they are properly approved and registered. Otherwise, they are subject to severe penalties.
The SEC voted unanimously Wednesday to seek public comment on a wide range of issues raised by the use of derivatives by mutual funds and other investment companies regulated under the Investment Company Act—including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and closed-end funds.
The SEC says it is seeking public input through a concept release, and that it will use the comments it receives to help determine whether "regulatory initiatives or guidance is needed that would continue to protect investors and fulfill the purposes underlying the Investment Company Act." Among the issues the SEC said it is concerned about are the potential implications for fund leverage, diversification, exposure to certain securities-related issuers, portfolio concentration and valuation.
"The derivatives markets have undergone significant changes in recent years, and the Commission is taking this opportunity to seek public comment and ensure that our regulatory approach and interpretations under the Investment Company Act remain current, relevant, and consistent with investor protection," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro in announcing the call for comments.
At the end of 2010, registered investment companies held more than $13.1 trillion in assets and more than 40% of all U.S. households owned their shares, the SEC says.
The concept release is a continuation of the SEC's ongoing review of mutual funds' use of derivatives announced last year. The concept release requests public input on the issues that the SEC staff has been examining for potential ways to improve the regulation of mutual funds' use of derivatives.

A Brooklyn College alumnus has ended plans for a bequest because of his anger over a reading assignment for first-year students, The New York Daily News reported. The book in question is How Does It Feel to Be a Problem, by Moustafa Bayoumi, who teaches at the college. The book looks at the experiences of Arab-Americans, post 9/11. Bruce Kesler, the alumnus, told the Daily News: ""That book was a poor and insulting choice. I'm sure Brooklyn College is still a great avenue for education, but I don't think that I should send it any more money." The National Association of Scholars, which has drawn attention to what it considers politicized reading assignments for freshman orientation programs, recently wrote critically about the book. A statement from the college said it was "regrettable that Mr. Bruce Kesler misunderstands the intentions of the Common Reader experience and the broader context of this selection."

Cherish him, he is a gift.
I love that cat to death!!!
It's incredible how agile and athletic he is being..let's say.. a little chubby!. And, of course, always clever, smart, elegant: I love you, Maru.
Maru has quite a bit of energy and is always investigating into something new, it is so funny when he finally needs to rest. Just love that face, want to kiss and hug him!!
Maru's antics always bring a smile to my face.
just look at those fat cheeks!! Maru will always be kitten-like–so precious!!
He is the best!! He wears the fluffiest pants!
You're right…wish I'd thought of that!
That last shot is priceless.

May Have Gotten Ripped Off
I would like your opinion on something. In my 10+ years of buying and selling online, I think I have been ripped off.
I sent a US Postal money order to a guy in Georgia for a gauge bezel for my 1980 Dodge D150 on Friday Sept. 3rd. He sent me an e-mail on Tuesday the 7th stating that he received my MO and would send it the next day. I asked him Sunday the 12th in an e-mail to give me a tracking number. He still hasn't responded. I have sent him another e-mail and two private messages on this other forum asking him politely for shipping information. I know he has been on that forum multiple times since I sent the PM's. I'm getting the feeling that he is avoiding me. Am I being unreasonable by thinking he should give me some sort of reply?
What would you do? Would you call him out on that forum? Will the post office do anything about it? Can I file a claim with the post office? I thought maybe I would wait until next week to do anything.
Kevin I.

Doors, locks, and credit cards
It's always been my understanding that when installing a key-lock door knob for exterior doors, you install it with the flat part of the latch facing the exterior so that you can't slide a credit card in and pop the latch.
I now have an elderly locksmith in the house insisting that this is the OPPOSITE of the correct way to install such locks, that the slanted side is supposed to face out, and that it is fine that someone with zero lock-picking skills can pop any such lock with a credit card.
This would be the locksmith hired by the shady land lady who insisted to my son that the landlord is not responsible for providing working locks (both the front door and the garage door locks will not work with a key, they jam and cannot be opened from the outside). Her solution up to now has been to tell tenants not to lock the side door into the garage and go in and out that way, and to use a credit card on that door should one "forget" and lock the door.
Am I remembering incorrectly? I know it is true that a PROPERLY INSTALLED deadbolt is the far safer lock option (though most aren't properly installed, just locking into the decorative moudling around the door and you can kick the door open). But in order to maximize the utility of the doorknob type locks, shouldn't the flat part of the latch face the exterior, so you can't just slide a credit card in there and pop the latch?
I think I finally remembered how those latches are supposed to work. There's a dead latch (smaller straight bolt) on the flat side of the latch which is supposed to be depressed by the latch plate when you close the door, then it "locks" the curved part of the latch so you cannot EASILY force it with a credit card. It can still be forced but its a lot harder. Any 3 year old with a doubled-up coloring book cover could pop this thing the way its installed right now.
This is (or has) a dead latch, but the wrong plate is installed and it doesn't depress the dead latch.
If that locksmith didn't know that he's not very knowledgeable - even *I* "knew" that at one time, even if it did take me half an hour to remember it, and I'm not a professional locksmith, LOL!
If the door opens into the house, the locksmith is right, otherwise the latch would not allow the door to close without turning the knob.
To defeat a tool, there should be a narrow rod on the inside of the latch bolt that stays in place when someone tries to force the latch bolt. But using a tool is difficult because the door stop is in the way and a credit card would have to be very thin and very flexible. Unless the fit of the door is very loose, a credit card would probably get damaged. a laminated card would be better. If your door opens out and then the hinges could be attacked.
Obviously a latch bolt is not considered a secure lock; you need to also add a deadbolt. In a high quality installation a latch bolt and a dead bolt would open when the inside knob is turned. This is required by law in hotels so that is what it is called. It requires mortise hardware; if you want security you have to pay more.
As for jammed lock sets, either some part is broken or the strike needs adjustment or the mechanism needs to be lubricated. The last two possibilities are easy to fix.

Please help - dominoe effect and new problem
I have had two overhead side-by-side cabinets that house the vent for the micro that hangs beneath it. This is above my new powerful BlueStar cooktop set into new granite.
I think that between the granite being thicker than the old formica and the cooktop being higher profile than the old cooktop the cooking surface seems too close to the micro.
So I am now considering doing away with those overhead cabinets and getting a big vent in place of the cabinets and the micro.
That now gives the problem of where to put the micro. I have just came across something that might work from grandinroad - which is a freestanding pullout garbage bin set into a cabinet. I am thinking that maybe I can put a micro on top of that.
I am hoping that you guys can offer more suggestions on the freestanding cabinet for the pull-out garbage.
Also - what are your thoughts on this idea?
All pullouts need to be anchored to something or they will tip over. Pulling out the pullout changes their center of gravity. You especially do not want that if you plan to put a heavy MW on top of it!
One solution might be a restaurant wall mounted stainless MW shelf. Or modify a base cabinet to accept a MW drawer. Or place it on on a shelf in a pantry area. There are lots of choices, but without a layout, it's difficult to be more specific as to which might work in your case.
I have a similar issue and was wondering if one can use a microwave/hood to build it in somewhere else.
Here is a link that might be useful: built-in microwave
Here is an image of a slim line KitchenAid Hood that can be installed under cabinets and over a range. Maybe that would provide enough room without removing the cabinets.
Also, the microwave doesn't have to be installed over a cooktop. This one was installed under cabinets in a different location in the kitchen. Though the light is hooked up the fan is not hooked up to a vent.
Beverly27 thanks for posting the pics! Beautiful backsplash btw!
Do you know the output of your burners?
OTR microwaves, at least the ones that we've had, have a wall bracket to mount to but also have a couple of bolts that secure it to the cabinet that it hangs under.
gpraceman is correct about how to do the mounting for an over the range microwave.
You can also purchase cabinets designed to receive a microwave with a built-in framing kit.
In terms of $$, it's easier to purchase a cabinet with a shelf that holds the microwave and simply slide one on the shelf and be done with it.
Personally, I like the microwave with trim kit option. It is a regular counter top microwave that sits on top of a shelf in the cabinet and the trim kit gives it more of a built-in look. That is what we did for our microwave.
This post was edited by gpraceman on Fri, Aug 9, 13 at 13:11
As long as you have a 30" wide cabinet that can work with the height & depth of the microwave, & electric hook up it should be reasonable to reinstall.
Found this pic on another post, though this is some type of special microwave that is deeper.

The reservation was canceled 75 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
We stayed at Lady of the Lake for New Years Eve. There were four of us, and we had a wonderful time.
The Good: Pamela was extremely prompt in replying to all communication, and she checked in with us after we arrived to make sure we had found the property. She also waived the 2-night minimum for holidays for us when we booked last minute, which was greatly appreciated. The house is in a neighborhood, but set back enough on the property so that everything feels very secluded. Gorgeous views from the deck.
The Not So Good: The wood burning stove was broken, which was a huge bummer given that was one of the main things we were looking for in renting a mountain home for New Years. We were not informed of this beforehand and we were not allowed to adjust the thermostat. The house is split between three floors, and is much smaller than the photos depict. The only bathroom in the house is upstairs off the master bedroom and the bathroom door is right next to the bed. A little awkward if you're not super cozy with the people you're bunking with.
This is a unique little retreat with responsible owners, but we felt it was a bit overpriced for what it was. I would love to see how the experience would be different in the summer time.
The reservation was canceled 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Nice retreat in the mountains, but disappointing that Pam would not accommodate us to arrive a bit earlier than the 4pm checkin without paying extra money. The lake is still dried as others have commented, and I find the price is too high for the overall experience. I would not recommend this stay.
All I can say about Pamela's riverside cottage is, it was magic. I didn't want to leave, I'd love to have that place for my own. Even the pictures do not do justice to her cottage. We had a great time. Thank you so much Pamela!
Wonderful 3-storey cottage tucked away right where it should be!
Authentic, well-decorated and very clean.
Highly recommended.
Great experience at the cabin. I can't imagine how nice it will be once the lake is fixed from the flood
What you can expect here is a nice deck view and a river.
Unfortunately, what we did not expect were a few less than optimal experiences.
Upon arrival the driveway was blocked with a neighbors car, we had to wait to get it moved.
1) YELLOW WATER = Not drinkable. 2) Don't think about taking a shower. Water pressure is weak and only one shower per day. 3) The water Stopped working a couple of hours after we arrived and the host promised to come at 9 am the next morning - we waited for her and she never came. Not even a phone call? 4) The guest books were ripped (and then the host tried to blame us for it). 5) The host accused us of having a party and tried to get extra Money from us. We had two friends stay the first night, we let her know in advance.
We took good care of the place and did not feel she had the right to be so rude.
We have traveled the world using air bnb and have ALWAYS left with a positive experience. Actually, part of the amazing experiences we've had over the years include connecting with kind hosts. The host was un-inviting, a poor communicator, and ended up offending us.
We have never had anything less than exemplary reviews for hosting and for our rentals especially this particular cottage.
This guest threw a wedding reception at our cottage without permission. The party was filmed by one of our neighbors who had to phone the police because of after hour disturbances. Michelle and her partner left piles of empty liquor bottles in the middle of the hardwood floor with beer and wine still in some damaging the floor which we had to have refinished in areas.
The reason the water stopped was Michelle had several guests from the wedding stay the night and take showers one after the other the next morning. We were never informed or asked by her if she could entertain or have guests. I would certainly never rent to this person again and would advise others not to. I found her to be dishonest and ultimately very hostile when we inquired with her about her activities at our home.
Pamela was easy to get in touch with! She responded promptly. The house was fantastic! It was just enough off the beaten path, but close enough to either Estes or Lyon for us to drive into town for dinner. The furnishings and surrounding environment are the perfect retreat! The house was also very clean!
We had a lovely time at the cabin. It is remote, and away from most of the touristy spots (which is what we were aiming for) but does still have some community amenities like a swimming pool and tennis courts. Pamela was good about checking in on us, and was very responsive and accommodating to reasonable requests.
Bring lots of food, because, you are about 30 minutes away from the nearest town. She has the pantry basics covered for you though (spices, coffee filters, pots and pans and dishes).
We enjoyed the wild raspberries growing on the side of the road, and feeding the hummingbirds. We also had some artists in the group who enjoyed sketching and photography. The lake is not really a lake right now, it appears the dam busted as a result of the September floods. If you have your heart set on boating, you may want to give it a year. It didn't stop us from romping through the creek through.

History made: White perch wins Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby
His victory marked the first in the history of the derby that an angler has won with anything other than a rainbow trout.
Under the old rules, the largest prizes went to the largest rainbow trout, but this year, derby organizers decided to hold a drawing among the anglers bringing in the top fish in all categories - lake trout, rainbow trout, white perch, yellow perch, cusk, pickerel, and black crappie.
It was Head's first derby victory. For his catch of a 2.76 white perch, caught on Big Squam Lake, he was entered into the final drawing. He couldn't believe his ears, he said, when his name was called for the top prize, $15,000 cash.
"I can't believe it," he said. When asked what he would do with the prize money, he answered, "I don't know yet."
Second place, a prize of $5,000, went to Lawrence Shipley of Belmont. Third place, $3,000, went to Thomas Knight of Hampton.
In past years, the top three prizes have been vehicles and fishing equipment. This year, having learned that some recent prize winners had sold their prizes for cash, and given the slow economy, derby organizers decided to award cash as prizes.

EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer
CHICAGO (AP) — The U.S. Olympic Committee received near-unanimous support from the country's sports federations in a poll asking whether they would support a bid for the 2024 Olympics — another sign that a U.S. city will make a run at hosting the next available Summer Games.
In his annual address Friday to the USOC Assembly, CEO Scott Blackmun said 40 of the 47 national governing bodies took part in the poll and all 40 answered positively to the question: "Is it important for the United States to host the Games?"
The USOC is in the final stages of deciding whether to put a city up for consideration. Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington are the candidates.
Blackmun said at the next assembly, a year from now, "hopefully we'll be in the final stages of submitting a bid."
The U.S. last hosted the Summer Games in Atlanta in 1996. The 2016 Olympics are scheduled for Rio de Janerio and the 2020 Games were recently awarded to Tokyo.
The NGBs also answered with an overwhelming "No" to the question of whether a bid takes the USOC's focus off its main mission, which is supporting athletes.
Having the sports federations on board is no small thing. Five years ago, when Chicago was bidding for the 2016 Games, the NGBs were in open rebellion against the newly appointed CEO, Stephanie Streeter. It was the USOC's dysfunction, both domestically and internationally, that voters and observers blamed for Chicago's last-place finish.
Since Blackmun replaced Streeter and chairman Larry Probst replaced Peter Ueberroth, the USOC has smoothed relations with the IOC — becoming more active in international events and also, importantly, ironing out details of a new revenue-sharing agreement. Probst was elected to the IOC last year.
"It's an old-boy network, but you have to be part of the network to change the game," said Tiger Shaw, who recently replaced Bill Marolt as CEO of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. "You can't just lob bombs in. It antagonizes relationships. There's a double-edged sword here. Being part of the crowd and instituting change from within, we feel that's important."
The USOC board heard from Pat Ryan, the chairman of the Chicago 2016 bid, who offered advice to the next potential candidate.
"He strongly encouraged us to move forward with a bid if there was an environment in which we could win," Blackmun said.
Before making a final decision, the USOC is waiting to see results of the IOC's "Agenda 2020," which could change the selection process. Any changes will be finalized in December.
Barring something drastic, though, the USOC appears primed for a bid.
"There's a whole generation of Americans who haven't seen the Olympic Games on American soil, and that's very, very important to us," Blackmun said.
Rich Bender, the executive director of USA Wrestling, said an Olympics in the United States provides a lift for all the sports, and that even the bid process adds energy to the movement.
"I'm cautiously optimistic that we have a chance," Bender said. "A lot of work needs to be done. Of course, there are no sure things in sports, particularly with the IOC."
AROUND THE RINGS: Probst left to be with his ailing father and was not at Friday's meetings. … USOC general counsel Rana Dershowitz is leaving to take the same post with Aspen Skiing Company. … Chief of sport performance Alan Ashley: "We're not getting as many Olympians and Paralympians on the podium as we used to. It's a trend we need to change." Asked about that, Blackmun said it means the USOC has tough choices ahead as it tries to allocate dollars to NGBs with the most potential for Olympic medals. … Blackmun said he's not completely confident about finding the final $5 million of funding needed to start an independent agency to investigate sex abuse in Olympic sports. The USOC and NGBs are in for around $5 million each, but the USOC is looking for philanthropists and sponsors to pay for the final part.

Buying baskets or berry boxes

We are looking to start a market garden. Does anyone know of a source where we can buy 4/6 qt. baskets, bushel baskets or those berry boxes? I am in the Barrie area. Marg
I never even thought of them. I buy my pots and fertilizers from them so maybe I'll email and find out if they sell them. In the meantime, I did find a source in Mount Forest, Wellington wood Products. Thanks for reminding me about Bradford. Marg

Seeking suggestions for toilet roll holder
I'd love some input on this. I'm having trouble getting a Google search to have results that match what I'm looking for, and I am stumped on how to narrow in on finding one. I'll take any and all suggestions, as they'll give me a place to start looking!
We're remodeling a small bathroom, and I want a toilet roll holder that isn't too wide and doesn't take up more space than it needs to for the paper roll. Some in the stores are on the order of 8 or 9 inches, which is so much longer than the tissue roll itself. Or else the holder is very pricey (why "shorter" = pricier is beyond me!)
My "specs":
- Not much longer than the paper roll needs to be (about 6 inches)
- Cost less than $70
- Double post (what the DH wants)
Any suggestions?
How about this very inexpensive ($13.94) t.p.holder from Amazon?
We got one for our small bathroom and are very happy with it. It's mounted on the underside of our floating butcherblock vanity next to our toilet. But you could mount it verticaly on a wall to save space. Another possibility, depending on the layout of your bathroom, might be this cute & different "paper pot" ($39)-
We have one that we use for kleenex & like it much better than the cardboard box the tissue comes in.
Good luck!
Hi olychick, yes, more along the lines that it's not spring-loaded. I only want it to hold one roll.
As far as I know, "double post" means the typical set up where the roll spindle ends meet a "post". :-) And the spindle is spring-loaded so you can insert it between the two ends. (As different from where one end is open, where you slip the tissue roll onto the bar. ) I use the term because one of the web sites used it to do filtering.
Hi patti1954, thanks for weighing in! I think that one is nice looking. I think my DH might veto it though, because of the open end. (I think he has visions of the roll jumping off the spindle and then not wanting to use it after it's hit the floor. He is very fastidious--even more than me!)

Woman charged in credit fraud
Police say she drained thousands from victim
A Wichita Falls woman is charged after being accused of stealing a credit card from an elderly woman and ripping off most of the account.
Emma Jean Childress, 39, was charged Jan. 23 in connection with an incident that came to light in December.
According to an arrest affidavit:
Police were notified by a 67-year-old woman that she attempted to use her debit card to make a purchase and the card would not work.
The woman contacted her bank to find out what was wrong. The bank told her the card was deactivated because of suspicious activity.
The victim learned that between late July and early December 2012 her savings and checking accounts went from $29,000 to $117.
The bank statements showed several fraudulent withdrawals during the same period.
Police obtained photos from ATMs in two locations that showed Childress making the withdrawals.
The victim was able to make a positive ID of the suspect based on the photos.
Childress was charged with credit card or debit card abuse. Because the victim is considered elderly, the charge was enhanced from a state jail felony to a third-degree felony.
Childress' bond was set at $10,000, and she was not in the Wichita County Jail on Monday.

Week 4 will feature the much-hated traditional division rival Oakland Raiders coming into Mile High, still feeling good about their come-from-behind win over Pittsburgh. Denver is coming off a tough loss to the Houston Texans, falling short by six points for the second time in two weeks to teams that remain undefeated. Both the Broncos and Raiders see an opportunity to rack up a divisional win in the AFC West. Let's go through the two teams.
The Raiders come in with the same 1-2 record that Denver has, with both teams' wins having come against Pittsburgh. The Raiders have struggled to throw for distance, as shown by quarterback Carson Palmer's 1-of-10 completions for 21 yards when throwing long (20 or more yards). He hasn't thrown long for a TD, but has an interception when trying to go deep.
Darrius Heyward-Bey appears to have dodged a huge bullet after a frightening cervical injury last week, but he wasn't helping them in the long game either. Denver should be able to maintain that tendency: Their pass rush appears stronger than the Raiders' line, and cornerback Tracy Porter is expected to return to the lineup after a brief scare with what turned out to be a bruised knee.
Good Morning, Broncos fans! It was another fine day at Dove Valley yesterday, but not in the positive sense of the word.
Von Miller was slapped with a $15,750 penalty for his late hit on Matt Schaub, which preceded Joe Mays's own suspension-inducing hit on the quarterback by one play. Mays will still collect a game check tomorrow, but he was fined $50K. In his brief career, Miller has already been penalized with over $60K in fines.
Meanwhile, John Fox has formally appealed the ridiculous $30K fine he received for his behavior in Atlanta; Jack Del Rio is expected to follow suit regarding his $25K penalty.
Every time you turn around, somebody is reminding you that the NFL has become a passing league. Through a combination of offense-friendly rule changes, innovative passing concepts, and vastly improved QB coaching at the high school and college levels (not to even mention the excellent private tutoring out there), passing offenses in the NFL are better and more efficient than ever.
I agree wholeheartedly that passing rules in the NFL. It's easy to hear that, and read it, and conclude that the running game doesn't really matter, though, and that's not the case. In fact, I would say that the ability to be very sound in run defense is the most important factor in defending the pass.
That may be tough to get your head around, but let's explore the idea, by first beginning with offense. The offense is going to do something, and all 11 guys generally know what that something is. The defense is reading keys, and trying to figure out what it will be, but they never really know until the play is underway. This is the fundamental advantage of the offense.
Embed this thought - you can lose games just as easily on defense by failing to stop the run, as you can by failing to stop the pass. The reason for that is because failure to stop the run very often causes failure to stop the pass.
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! As expected, the first group of real officials were welcomed back heartily last night, as Gene Steratore's crew was given a standing ovation before the game.
Steratore even got hugs from Ravens coach John Harbaugh and linebacker Ray Lewis, and safety Bernard Pollard says the players have a new appreciation for the skill of the regular refs.
Before the game, Roger Goodell apologized to the fans, but framed the lockout as something that had to happen, and even summoned up the nerve to call the craptastic officiating as part of the "beauty of sports."
Judy Battista reports that indeed, progress in negotiations had been made prior to Monday, so there was actually a possibility of a deal before the game-deciding blown call. But according to her sources, owners Jerry Richardson of the Panthers and Woody Johnson of the Jets were among the owners digging their heels in on Tuesday, while the Patriots' Robert Kraft and Giants owner John Mara - often described as key moderates during last year's player lockout - were more concerned with the impact of using scab officials.
Enjoy the game, everyone - and welcome back, refs!
Bucky Brooks, Gordon McGuinness and Benjamin Hoffman preview the matchup.
Here are the inactives for the game.

Against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Raiders were already down an early touchdown when Darren McFadden took a simple zone-blocking play and ran it 65 yards into the end zone. It's basic ZB technique, and the Broncos will need to make sure that they're disciplined in their gaps and able to both fight through the line's blocks and to make sure that the safety has upfield containment to combat it.
Pittsburgh failed on both aspects, and the result will always be the same, no matter who's running this basic play. Denver uses it, and so do many teams around the league. It's also part of how Arian Foster has been burning the league for three seasons.
Here's the basic lineup: Pittsburgh is in their classic, Okie-based odd-front defense. They've got three down linemen and two OLBs, spread wide this time. The ILBs are in their standard, base positioning. The Raiders are in 11 personnel and face 1st and 10 at their own 35. Their formation pulls one safety off into coverage, leaving only Ryan Mundy to handle the deep middle.

Happy Thursday, friends. I'm back from my trip to Cleveland, and I've dug out of the two-days-away hole at work, so I decided that it was time to get back on the horse. So have you seen any cases of simultaneous possession lately? I saw one on Saturday night at a wedding reception.
The bride tossed the bouquet, and the maid of honor and my girlfriend both caught it. They both held it for a few seconds, before Laura deferred to the MOH and let it go, which was the right call. The MOH was actually really gracious about the whole thing, and let Laura have the bouquet, which was cool until she left it in a hotel in Charlotte on Monday morning.
As for the garter, who do you think caught it? I got my fifth one in my last seven weddings attended (starting in 2009). I think we can safely say that I have elite garter skills. To wit:

The Broncos have re-signed linebacker Mike Mohamed to their practice squad today; Jacksonville had waived him from their PS yesterday, two weeks after having signed him.
To make room for Mohamed, their own 2011 sixth-round pick, Denver waived TE Cornelius Ingram.
With the one-game suspension of Joe Mays and the injury to Nate Irving (concussion), Denver is currently down to five healthy linebackers. Von Miller, Keith Brooking, and Wesley Woodyard are expected to start on Sunday, with sixth-rounder Danny Trevathan and undrafted rookie Stephen Johnson as backups.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! Well, it's thankfully, finally over. Many hours after Chris Mortensen reported the NFL and NFLRA had come to an agreement on a new contract, they actually agreed to a fresh deal.
To get there, it only took three weeks of craptastic officiating and a call so bad that a Vegas sportsbook is refunding losing bets.
Some questions:
What if the tipping point Packers/Seahawks call had occurred instead in the Jacksonville/Indy Sunday game that was probably seen live by fifty people who aren't Jags or Colts fans? Would we still be celebrating a return of the regular officials today? Or would the resulting uproar not be enough to sway ownership?
Was it worth it, NFL owners? You've cost yourselves and your sport a good chunk of credibility. The fans who sided with you during the 2011 player lockout, and for two weeks of this officiating lockout? Even they finally realize now how little you truly care about the integrity of the game. We're curious to see if this affects the public opinion of player lawsuits regarding your handling of head injuries.
Manny Ramirez's days functioning as a turnstile along the Broncos offensive line are nearing an end.
Right guard Chris Kuper has returned to participate in today's padded practice, raising hopes that he will be available on at least a part-time basis on Sunday against Oakland. However, Lindsay Jones says the seventh-year player is unlikely to dress Sunday.
Ramirez is the only of Denver's five starting offensive linemen to receive a negative overall score from PFF (-5.3), although he did grade out at +2.1 for the opening win over Pittsburgh.

Press release from Marketwire
Capstone Infrastructure Corporation Announces $75 Million Common Share Bought Deal Offering
Monday, October 24, 2011
Capstone Infrastructure Corporation Announces $75 Million Common Share Bought Deal Offering16:45 EDT Monday, October 24, 2011TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 24, 2011) -NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATESCapstone Infrastructure Corporation (TSX:CSE)(TSX:CSE.PR.A)(TSX:CSE.DB.A) ("CSE" or the "Corporation") today announced that it has agreed to issue, on a bought deal basis, 12,000,000 common shares (the "Common Shares") at a price of $6.25 per Common Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $75,000,000, to a syndicate of underwriters co-led by TD Securities Inc. and RBC Capital Markets for distribution to the public.CSE has granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 1,800,000 Common Shares at the same offering price to cover over-allotments, exercisable in whole or in part at any time until 30 days after closing, which, if exercised in full, would increase the gross offering size to $86,250,000.The net proceeds of the offering will be used by the Corporation to repay a portion of the amount drawn on the senior credit facility used to fund the Corporation's recent acquisition of a 70% indirect interest in Bristol Water, a regulated water utility in the United Kingdom, thereby mitigating the risk related to refinancing the senior credit facility while increasing the Corporation's financial flexibility to pursue additional growth opportunities. The Common Shares will be offered in all provinces and territories of Canada by way of a short-form prospectus. The offering is expected to close on or about November 10, 2011 and is subject to the receipt of Toronto Stock Exchange and any other necessary regulatory approvals. "While our senior credit facility is cost effective and does not mature until October 2012, we are pleased with this opportunity to establish permanent financing," said Michael Bernstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, this offering of Common Shares bolsters our balance sheet while we continue to evaluate attractive growth opportunities consistent with our strategy to create value for shareholders."The offering of Common Shares is expected to increase the Corporation's 2011 payout ratio, which is based on Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") and excludes internalization costs, to 120% to 125% compared with the previously provided outlook of approximately 120%. For 2012, the Corporation expects its payout ratio to be consistent with the previously provided outlook of approximately 85% to 90%. With this offering of Common Shares, the Corporation's debt-to-capitalization ratio is expected to be less than 60% compared with the previously provided outlook, based on full amount of the senior credit facility outstanding, of more than 60%. Potential future sources of capital to refinance the balance of the senior credit facility, which matures in October 2012, include proceeds from a future recapitalization of Värmevärden, internally-generated cash flows of the Corporation and the addition of holding company debt at Bristol Water.This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The securities being offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and accordingly will not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly within the United States, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction or to, or for the account or for the benefit of a U.S. person, except in limited circumstances.

We were running late, as usual. No one was dressed yet, the beds weren't made, and I kept tripping over the dog while I crisscrossed the kitchen, trying to cook breakfast and pack three lunches at once.
"Bed, Scout," I said crossly, pointing the dog to her space in the family room. When 8-year-old Sam climbed up on the counter to get to the cereal cabinet, I shooed him away too. "Wait, honey. The oatmeal's almost ready."
"Mom, I'm starving," he wailed. "Can't I just get myself some cereal?"
So I wasn't exactly thrilled when, five minutes later, I plunked down three bowls of oatmeal and starving Sam wasn't at the table. His two little brothers dutifully dug in, but Sam was headed out the door, skipping and giggling while Scout bounded alongside him.
"Sam!" I ordered. "You get in here right this minute and eat your oatmeal!"
He stopped, turned, and looked at me in astonishment. "But Mom, Scout's hungry too. It would be cruel to eat in front of her when she hasn't had breakfast herself."
And it dawned on me that Scout is far more than just another beloved creature in my house who needs something from me. Scout is one of the chief reasons my sons are becoming good human beings: She's teaching them empathy, compassion, and responsibility. She's teaching them what it means to put another's needs before their own. And in a world of report-card grades and ball-game scores and bad-behavior time-outs (and, it must be admitted, stressed-out mothers), her unconditional love is teaching my children that they're real heroes, no matter what. {C}

A five-day 'Festival of Gold' exhibition-cum-sale of MMTC was inaugurated by District Collector Lav Agarwal at The Gateway Hotel here on Wednesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Agarwal said that the city needed such events and was confident that people would respond well to the show.
Chief General Manager Ashish Majumdar of the Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation (MMTC), talking to reporters, said that the company had made rapid strides in retail product sales, amounting to Rs.610 crore till date in the current financial year as against Rs.490 crore last year, and it could be around Rs.800 crore to Rs. 900 crore next year. MMTC was the largest importer of gold in India and was organising jewellery exhibitions in all the major cities. MMTC was at present earning Rs.125 crore of its retail earnings through exhibitions. He also disclosed that India was importing 960 tonnes of gold, which was nearly 35 per cent of world's mine production, and MMTC was the largest importer with 245 tonnes. The company had set up an in house medallion manufacturing facility (mint) in New Delhi and the medals - both silver and gold - with 999 purity were very popular with the public as well as corporates. Mr. Majumdar stated that MMTC had set up a joint venture with PAMP SA of Switzerland for manufacture of gold medals and refining of gold and silver. The project at a cost of Rs.200 crore was set up in Haryana and commercial production commenced in 2011. The JV has an annual refining capacity of 100 tonnes of gold and 600 tonnes of silver. MMTC had set up another joint venture with Gitanjali Gema and jewellery was being sold under the brand name Shuddhi. He said 17 retail stores were operational in the country and 63 more retail outlets would be opened over the next three years.
MMTC General Manager from New Delhi Ravi Kishor said MMTC would set up five more showrooms on its own in the country, and one more was proposed at Visakhapatnam.

What you should know:
- Every day, an average of 500 older adults (those ages 65 and older) are injured in a crash.
- In 2008, 4,600 older adults were killed in motor vehicle crashes.
- Motor vehicle crash deaths among both men and women begin to increase markedly after age 70.
- Age-related declines in vision and cognitive functioning (ability to reason and remember), as well as physical changes, may affect some older adults' driving abilities.
What you can do:
Online tools are available to help you assess your driving knowledge and skills. Some helpful resources include:
Driving plays an important role in many older adults' mobility and independence. If you are a driver age 65 or older, you can make your time behind the wheel safer by:
- Asking your doctor or pharmacist to review your medicines (both prescription and over-the counter) to reduce possible side effects and drug interactions.
- Having your eyes checked by an eye doctor at least once a year, and wearing your glasses and contact lenses as required.
- Planning your route before you drive.
- Leaving a large following distance behind the car in front of you.
- Avoiding distractions in your car, such as listening to a loud radio, talking on your cell phone, texting, and eating in the car.
- Thinking about potential alternatives to driving, such as riding with a friend or using public transit, that you could use to get around.

New Blog Explores Old Milwaukee Buildings
By Mitch Teich
Aimee Robinson isn't a historian, she's not an architect, and she's not a Milwaukee native. So at first blush, she might not seem like the natural person to write a column on distinctive, historic Milwaukee buildings.
But those factors actually play to Robinson's advantage in her blog, which appears at Milwaukee Magazine's website as a feature is called "Intersections."
Robinson, an editorial assistant at the magazine, explains what spurred her interest in Milwaukee's buildings.
"What has always fascinated me since I moved here is how all of these old buildings across the city are in use," she says. "Back home, during the oil boom, it left so many buildings afterward without use."
