On the day before Valentine's Day 2015, Drake told the world "If I die I'm a legend." As it was, he was probably right. With If You're Reading This It's Too Late, Drake broke the record for the number of charting singles by one artist in the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Chart, simultaneously creating something critics and fans adored while allowing him to unceremoniously slip out of his Cash Money deal. Despite becoming more skilled with each passing album, Drake has suggested that once he turns 30 he isn't going to rap anymore. In a 2012 interview, Drake admitted that he didn't want to be making hip-hop at 35. He has been quite insistent that hip-hop revolves around being "young and fly," and that he looked forward to delivering "full singing records" instead of rap albums, because he knows that he can't deliver his brand of rap past his twenties. He isn't alone in that sentiment; recently Young Thug told GQ that "If you're 30, 40 years old, you're not getting listened to by minors. Like, Jay Z has some of the sickest lyrics ever, but I would never buy his CD, just because of my age and because of his age." To this generation of ascendant rappers, getting older means growing irrelevant.
Each December, every place imaginable seems to scream with Christmas music. And every time, Jews are left in the dust when it comes to music that celebrates their dueling December holiday: Hanukkah. Sure, you could spin some Matisyahu or that one G-d awful Adam Sandler song, but the landscape of Hanukkah music is as dry as the Judaean desert. Luckily, 2014 hath bringeth a wealth of contemporary albums for this holiday from some of coolest names in music today.
The day-to-day music news cycle can be a bit of a slog. Artist announces album, artist premieres track, artist premieres video, artist announces tour, artist streams album, blah blah blah, over and over again. But every once in awhile, something wonderfully bizarre happens. Somebody carves a giant wooden penis, or live-Tweets "The Little Mermaid", or performs an eight-hour synth jam. Something happens that is so out of the ordinary, we all sit up and go, "WTF".
Here, then, is a rundown of the best of those moments from 2014.
Rappers continue to put out mixtapes in 2014, but the stuffed to the gills CDs and DJ (Drama) shouting over every single track variety appears to be increasingly fading away. Artist co-signs, Drake most notably, can essentially create an overnight star and a six-second loop of a song can fanute one into a major label contract as it did with young Bobby. Chief Keef, who still puts out bloated tapes, casts off so much music through Youtube and Instagram that waiting for proper tapes seems moot.
Welcome to Mixdown, an ongoing series where Pitchfork staffers and contributors talk about mixtapes, mixes, and other beat-based ephemera that may not be covered in our reviews section but are worth discussing. Today, Corban Goble, Meaghan Garvey, and Wesley Case talk about Migos, Future, and Drake.

Kendrick photo by Will Deitz
Last night a 15-second clip of Kendrick Lamar dissing Drake in his upcoming BET Hip-Hop Awards cypher hit the internet, and by this morning the Kendrick vs. Drake discussion was full-blown. The circumstances are different, sure, but is it too early to say that this era's equivalent to the Jay Z vs. Nas conflict is becoming a reality?
At this very moment, Drake is getting thousands of people to talk about "their feelings" on the internet. That's one of my favorite parts of social media: It allows us to feel en masse. During trending events or times of heightened emotion or the death of a public figure, Twitter becomes an amorphous organism that slithers toward a broad feeling, or undergoes mitosis and splits into a shouting match full of hiss and noise, all about whether or not Margaret Thatcher deserves to be mourned or Miley's a racist or the VMAs were bad or Drake is good. This broad-spectrum communication arena has become a place where people will broadcast their feelings in hopes of landing near the center of the broad spectrum so perhaps they can feel validated. It feels like you're always surrounded by that friend who watches a movie and then looks at you to see if you're also laughing at the joke they're laughing at.

Drake is easy to laugh at. His conceits have conspired to turn him into a walking meme, an oblivious cornball who inspires endless joke Tumblrs and internet readers who write him off as a softie, or more specifically an ex-"Degrassi" actor. You can probably reel off a dozen (admittedly very funny) Drake-isms right now: He's the type of guy to safely eject a USB stick. He's the type of guy who makes the animal crackers fight before he eats them. Who reminds the teacher that the class had homework. Drake is one of the most important artists in popular music right now, and he's still a joke. He serves himself up on a platter.
Larry Fitzmaurice: Didn't hold the door open for his neighbour.
Lindsay Zoladz: Nicki actually did call, he just got too busy to call her back.
Corban Goble: Wore that Kentucky jacket.
Brandon Stosuy: One of the 90s fantasies on his mind was the Pixies reunion.
Jenn Pelly: Admitted he didn't know who Majid Jordan were either.
LZ: Had to go to the bathroom during his NYU interview so he politely asked for a hall pass.
LF: Made fun of friend for crying at the end of The Butler before silently crying to himself in the bathroom afterwards.
BS: Gave up on that Jonathan Franzen essay 2/3 of the way through.
LZ: Couldn't find his coat in the coat room after a party so he took someone else's, which was slightly nicer.
LF: Laughed at a dog pooping.
JP: Hogged the spotlight during Les Mis.
LF: Drank the last Straw-Ber-Rita and didn't replace it for several hours.
BS: Called Justin Vernon, asked if his refrigerator was running.
- Drake has reached a rarefied level of productivity and quality this year, the kind of tier where it's possible to dominate the conversation without releasing an album. His 2013 promo singles, remixes and one-offs— a collection spanning from February's "Started From the Bottom" to last week's poppy, emotive "Hold On, We're Going Home"— have all been quickly gobbled up by hordes of hungry listeners eager for a taste of his upcoming third studio album Nothing Was the Same, slated for release on September 17th. While no one is exactly sure what Nothing Was the Same will sound like, a quick examination of the non-album tracks released prior to 2011's sterling sophomore effort Take Care might yield some clues.

Is my hard disk damaged?
I accidentally dropped something heavy on my 15" MacBook Pro, and the metal recharger plates on the bottom created a small dent in the metal case, located roughly 2 inches under the left arrow key. Subsequently, the computer was working. However, after I shut down, i have problem to start it up again. I'm always stuck at the white screen with the apple logo. I realized tha the small dent is at the place that my hard disk is located. Is there something wrong with my hard disk? Do I have to get it replaced or it can just be repaired? I really don't want to lose all my stuff in the hard disk. And I got windows installed in my macbook too. If I change a new hard disk, will this affect my windows? My windows is still functioning. And, lastly, can I do the repair myself or I have to bring it to a technician?

Jasmine - Your on borrowed time here, the first thing is to backup your data so if the system or the HD die you still have your data. It's possible your HD got the worse of it but then again your system has a dent which could cause a short.

Accepted Answer
If Windows is still running then it should only be the Mac i-OS operating system that's gone BUT here's what i'd do to be 100% safe with my data...
If you (or a friend) has a SATA Drive enclosure, test your drive first on another computer.
Most drive manufacturers have free diagnostic software for these situations, ie Western Digital or Seatools by Seagate (i'd recommend Seatools, it works with any brand of drive).
Always be careful about static electricity here though especially with your hard drive and it's priceless data!!!
I have successfully recovered data from a damaged drive many times with a free program called Recuva by Piriform.
If the drive is fine then your Mac i-OS needs re-installed which is where you have to make a tough desicion. Risk losing everything performing a back-up or simply buy a replacement drive and re-install everything with your recovery discs then "COPY" all your data from your old drive.
Good Luck,
Does that mean that my hard disk is still alright and it's only my drive is damaged? Btw, I can still access all my data in mac from my windows though.
If you still have your OS-X system recovery disks you could try booting your system. If you can I would strongly recommend making a backup of all of your data ASAP. As you have a Windows partition you'll need to back it up independently. Without a backup your options are limited here on what you can do to the HD.
It's possible all you'll need to do here is reformat the disk, It's also possible the disk is about ready to give out.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Lance Armstrong has finally come clean.
Armstrong confessed to doping during an interview with Oprah Winfrey taped Monday, just a couple of hours after a wrenching apology to staff at the Livestrong charity he founded and has now been forced to surrender.
The day ended with 2 1/2 hours of questions from Winfrey at a downtown Austin hotel, where she said the world's most famous cyclist was "forthcoming" as she asked him in detail about doping allegations that followed him throughout his seven Tour de France victories.
Speaking on "CBS This Morning," Winfrey said Tuesday she had not planned to address Armstrong's confession before the interview aired on her OWN network but, "by the time I left Austin and landed in Chicago, you all had already confirmed it."
"So I'm sitting here now because it's already been confirmed," she added.
The session was to be broadcast on Thursday but Winfrey said it will now run in two parts over two nights because there is so much material.
Winfrey would not characterize whether Armstrong seemed contrite but said he seemed ready for the interview. "I would say that he met the moment," she said.
"I don't think 'emotional' begins to describe the intensity or the difficulty he experienced in talking about some of these things."
The confession was a stunning reversal for a proud athlete and celebrity who sought lavish praise in the court of public opinion and used courtrooms to punish his critics.
For more than a decade, Armstrong dared anybody who challenged his version of events to prove it. Finally, he told the tale himself after promising over the weekend to answer Winfrey's questions "directly, honestly and candidly."
The cyclist was stripped of his Tour titles, lost most of his endorsements and was forced to leave Livestrong last year after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency issued a damning, 1,000-page report that accused him of masterminding a long-running doping scheme.
The International Cycling Union, or UCI, issued a statement on Tuesday saying it was aware of the reports that Armstrong had confessed to Winfrey. The governing body for the sport urged Armstrong to tell his story to an independent commission it has set up to examine claims it covered up suspicious samples from the cyclist, accepted financial donations from him and helped him avoid detection in doping tests.
Armstrong started Monday with a visit to the headquarters of Livestrong, the charity he founded in 1997 and turned into a global force on the strength of his athletic dominance and personal story of surviving testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs and brain.
About 100 Livestrong staff members gathered in a conference room as Armstrong told them "I'm sorry." He choked up during a 20-minute talk, expressing regret for the long-running controversy tied to performance-enhancers had caused, but stopped short of admitting he used them.
Before he was done, several members were in tears when he urged them to continue the charity's mission, helping cancer patients and their families.
"Heartfelt and sincere," is how Livestrong spokeswoman Katherine McLane described his speech.
Armstrong later huddled with almost a dozen people before stepping into a room set up at a downtown Austin hotel for the interview with Winfrey. The group included close friends and lawyers. They exchanged handshakes and smiles, but declined comment.
Winfrey has promoted her interview, one of the biggest for OWN since she launched the network in 2011, as a "no-holds barred" session, and after the voluminous USADA report — which included testimony from 11 former teammates — she said she went into the session with 112 questions ready to go. Not all of them were asked, she said, but many were.
USADA chief executive Travis Tygart, a longtime critic of Armstrong's, called the drug regimen practiced while Armstrong led the U.S. Postal Service team "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen." USADA did not respond to requests for comment about Armstrong's confession.
For years, Armstrong went after his critics ruthlessly during his reign as cycling champion. He scolded some in public and didn't hesitate to punish outspoken riders during the race itself. He waged legal battles against still others in court.
At least one of his opponents, the London-based Sunday Times, has already filed a lawsuit to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel case, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions, which tried to deny Armstrong a promised bonus for a Tour de France win, has threatened to bring another lawsuit seeking to recover more than $7.5 million awarded by an arbitration panel.
In Australia, the government of South Australia state said Tuesday it will seek the repayment of several million dollars in appearance fees paid to Armstrong for competing in the Tour Down Under in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
"We'd be more than happy for Mr. Armstrong to make any repayment of monies to us," South Australia Premier Jay Weatherill said.
Betsy Andreu, the wife of former Armstrong teammate Frankie Andreu, was one of the first to publicly accuse Armstrong of using performance-enhancing drugs. She called news of Armstrong's confession "very emotional and very sad," and choked up when asked to comment.
"He used to be one of my husband's best friends and because he wouldn't go along with the doping, he got kicked to the side," she said. "Lance could have a positive impact if he tells the truth on everything. He's got to be completely honest."
Betsy Andreu testified in SCA's arbitration case challenging the bonus in 2005, saying Armstrong admitted in an Indiana hospital room in 1996 that he had taken many performance-enhancing drugs, a claim Armstrong vehemently denied.
"It would be nice if he would come out and say the hospital room happened," Andreu said. "That's where it all started."
Former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title for doping, has filed a federal whistle-blower lawsuit that accused Armstrong of defrauding the U.S. Postal Service. An attorney familiar with Armstrong's legal problems told the AP that the Justice Department is highly likely to join the lawsuit. The False Claims Act lawsuit could result in Armstrong paying a substantial amount of money to the U.S. government. The deadline for the department to join the case is Thursday, though the department could seek an extension if necessary.
According to the attorney, who works outside the government, the lawsuit alleges that Armstrong defrauded the U.S. government based on his years of denying use of performance-enhancing drugs. The attorney spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the matter.
The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from Armstrong's sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations. Armstrong was not deposed during the federal investigation that was closed last year.
Armstrong is said to be worth around $100 million. But most sponsors dropped him after USADA's scathing report — at the cost of tens of millions of dollars — and soon after, he left the board of Livestrong.
After the USADA findings, he was also barred from competing in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his cycling career. World Anti-Doping Code rules state his lifetime ban cannot be reduced to less than eight years. WADA and U.S. Anti-Doping officials could agree to reduce the ban further depending on what information Armstrong provides and his level of cooperation.

And don't forget all the fast-food outlets and convenience stores specializing in sugary, high-carb, and now high-caffeine junk that intercept kids going to and from school. Not to mention the inexpensive this-and-that-helper meals that many folks in a hurry rely on. Packaged convenience food is rarely healthful food, but it fills you up. GM'd canola is cheap; EVOO isn't.
As has been said above so well, if the rice, beans, and corn of today were like the ancestors' versions the problem might not be so severe. If meats were grass fed on ranches rather than pumped up with hormones and antibiotics in protein factories we'd be way better off. But now the ranches are becoming vineyards and housing developments. The ag machine absorbs small farmers like tractor-driving Borg, both here and to the south.
With transnational big agriculture focused on production and the bottom line rather than health, the raw materials that go to restaurants and even into from-scratch home cooking are the front end of the problem. Government subsidies have been lobbied to support profitable over-processed and engineered stuff that's loaded with toxins rather than what human bodies need. The lower the income level, the worse the victimization.
It's time to subsidize healthful veg and meats and stop the payoffs that trickle down to the likes of Monsanto and Conagra, and from there to chemical firms and even implement manufacturers. While the pressure against change from profitable engineered food to investing in support of more natural and sustainable eating is huge, it's a big part of the cure for the diabetes epidemic. Unfortunately, the healthy eating lobby is still pretty weak compared to Big Agriculture, Inc., so consumers have to speak with their purchases, once again leaving those most at risk with the weakest voice. It's cheaper in the long run to invest in prevention early than to pay for long-term treatment later on, but that takes education and will.

They have a great staff with unusually good attitude. Too bad the corporate bigwigs were blockheads and tried to run the west coast from North Carolina warehouses. The butcher shop was excellent with hormone-free meats and nice fresh variety. Likewise the veg, bulk goods and bakery. If the local managers had been given a fair chance and a bit more power to tailor stock for their area with even more locally sourced SB county products they could have been a storefront farmers' market. It's a real shame that 50 person team can't keep going because fresh, natural, organic, and minimally processed are becoming the new norms, and they delivered good service.

A weekly platform for disinfo queen Kathy Swift and PODER to spew forth? Yet another astonishing move by the Independent, and proof that Santa Barbara still desperately needs a respectable newspaper that the people - not just ideologically-biased factions on the extreme left or right - can rely on for honest reporting and the truth.
Posted on February 4 at 2:46 p.m.
Unfortunately, Carolee is right. This state is exporting water we don't have to China in the form of things like high-dollar almonds and even rice. It's past time to rethink what's sustainable in a drying climate, profitability aside. One gallon per nut is just that - nuts. Allowing agricultural interests - whether family farmers or mega-corporations - to pump as much groundwater as they can is as negligent as letting the oil industry inject whatever they please back down into the aquifers the state depends on. If resource management policy doesn't change soon, we'll watch a reverse Dust Bowl scenario play out.

Unfortunately, despite great efforts by volunteers, the survey won't reveal much. That's because, as Nick suggests, getting the chronically homeless to answer over a hundred highly invasive and detailed questions truthfully, and then to give their permission to share that "confidential" data with a huge list of agencies won't be easy, coupon or not. It's something few folks would do upon being woken up or confronted by a stranger, especially anyone who is already fearful or has something to hide. If all the organizers do is count completed survey forms and report that result, it will be a tiny fraction of the actual number of people living rough around the streets, in their cars, and in RVs. Many won't even be found, and others won't answer the over-lengthy questionnaire accurately when they are. So this looks like a well-meaning academic research project, but unlikely to reflect the sad reality very well.

More proofs that a little disinformation goes a long way.
First off, the BID is required to be a new independent entity, not an extension of the MCA or anything else. (BTW, the hostility expressed against that fairly young - and diverse - organization which has tried to help out, and has actually accomplished some pretty good things for the neighborhood, is pretty amazing.)
Second, if the BID is smart, it will minimize its overhead so the limited funds the fees would generate can go to projects the members decide are important - maybe graffiti cleaning on non-city-owned property and/or helping work with people camping out in their parking lots and/or building a quick-reference directory to area automotive services or construction trades - but who knows? That would be up to the BID's members. The goal is to pull together to make the area's business environment healthier for both big and small. One thing the association surely wouldn't do is to waste its money renting an office when a member could get a write-off for providing a little space, and especially not paying rent for a separate community organization that doesn't even need one.

Very useful explanation. Thanks.

Let us not, in reacting to the massacre of free speech at Charlie Hebdo, overlook the equally - even more - reprehensible anti-semitic terrorist attack on innocent patrons of the kosher grocery store in Paris.
Posted on January 9 at 3:22 p.m.
Thank you, Indy, for standing up for freedom of speech and recognizing the significance of the murders in Paris - not that they are the first nor the last time journalists and satirists will be attacked. When fanatics of any stripe resort to vandalism and violence in attempts to bully voices they don't like into submission to their particular beliefs, it's a slap against everybody's right to free expression. When the simple expressing of an idea warrants the death penalty, something is fundamentally wrong with the system that promotes that. All the cultural sensitivity and political correctness in the world can't justify such things.

It's great that the collection is now in the public library. I only hope borrowers take as good care of it as the radio pros doubtlessly did. So thanks to those who worked so hard assembling this musical treasure. However, it's genuinely tragic the the Santa Barbara Foundation sold out KDB to a conglomerate, albeit a non-profit one. I still don't understand how they managed - or mismanaged - to sacrifice this wonderful and unique piece of Santa Barbara culture.

"These magnets were fantastic. I accidentally ordered 1 per guest rather than one per household, but they are so beautiful I hardly mind! Our designer was excellent and also let us add our wedding website to the bottom underneath the location, which was great!"
"The quality of the magnet was excellent along with the wonderful photo reproduction. The product was shipped within a few days of the order. We received many compliments from family and friends who received this Save the Date magnet. I would highly recommend this product and will order from Wedding Divas again."
"The magnets are an excellent way to remind people about your special day. I love the way they turned out...i think the photo quality could improve a little but overall, great!! The shipping is fast!!"
"We love our save the date magnets. I had shopped around on numerous of sites however wedding paper divas is the only site that appealed to me. Our save the dates are so cute. The design really suited our photos and really like the elegance of this magnet. We were very surprised to have these delivered so quickly considering they were coming from overseas. We are very excited to send them to our guests, people that we have shown loved them just as much as we did. Thank you so much wedding paper divas, will be recommending you to others and using your services in the future."
"This is my first purchase from WPD and I'm incredibly happy! First of all, this site is far more affordable than most wedding invitation sites and they give you such a broad range for customization. These save the dates are gorgeous, the size is perfect too, not too large. Thank you! I'll be purchasing the rest of my wedding suite with you."

That's messed up. You have to wonder if he can ever be what he use to be after this.

they will not know how long he will be out for until the surgery is done.
i think best case scenario, he is back in 1-2 months, but we shall see.
derrick rose when healthy ( which sadly he has not been past 2 years) is one of the most exciting and best players in the nba.
it sucks that this crap keeps happening to him, my favorite nba player by far.

Confirmed...he's out for the season.
What ****ty luck for him and the Bulls. Is it premature to call him a bust?
Human paper weight.
Bulls fans will tell us that the Heat dodged a bullet here.
In the East, the only team that can compete with Miami is Indiana because of their size. Other than them, the East is pretty weak. It's comical how much better the West is than the East.

Where to find great bedding?
When I watch some of the decorating shows they always seem to find the most gorgeous bedding ensembles (and for cheap, too! LOL)
I am going to redecorate my master bed & bath and so far the bedding I have found is over the top ruffly, or ultra modern (read: huge dots and such), or frou-frou flowery.
I have looked in local department stores as well as online at Macy's, Overstock, BB&B, and several othe linen places that came up on a google search.
I am just looking for something nice, not over the top, not space-age, and with some color!
Any recommendations?
I've gotten most of my bedding from Bloomingdale's when they have their Home sale. The quilt on my bed is by Barbara Barry. Her line is gorgeous, usually understated.
For less expensive items, I've seen some great brands on sale at TJ Maxx.
Pottery Barn is my favorite medium priced bedding place to shop. I am a true fan!
Horchow is my favorite high priced place to ogle.
TJMaxx has nice things but it's often hard to find enough coordinating pieces: shams in Euro and standard, bed skirts (if needed), sheets.
I've ordered from Linen Source and was pleased.
Here is a link that might be useful: Linen Source
I guess I am not about matchy matchy shams and skirts etc....but for sheets, comforters and pillowcases, I think TJ's is not to be beat...if you know your stuff.
And if you do like all the matchy stuff, you can buy what you can at TJ's and the rest where you can find it...
And rememeber, you can return stuff to TJ's...
I'll look into the links provided, thank you.
I never think to check TJ Maxx or Marshall's, thanks for that, too. I have not been in one for years, will have to do a "store locator" search to find one within a reasonable distance!
Maybe if I would drag my sorry butt into a mall I would have some luck. But is it worth it to a mall hater like me? Hmm........
Sometimes when I go to the mall I just go into an entrance that takes you directly into a store. So, I can walk into Bloomie's or Lord & Taylor without having to deal with the mall itself. However, there's no avoiding the parking lot!
Good luck with your search.
I like the Vera Wang pillows I got at Kohls. I went there to buy a pie pan, but they didn't have the size/shape I wanted. Here Kohls is in an outdoor minimall next door to a Trader Joe's, and so it's pretty convenient. The drug store I use is a few doors down as well.
I would caution against buying sheets at a street fair. I did that a couple of years ago, and while they were 600 count, they were polyester instead of cotton as labeled, and so I threw them out after one washing.
I spent two days doing nothing but looking for specific (color) bedding. I went to:
Tuesday Morning
Stein Mart
All had great bedding sets but not what I had to have! Excessive I know. Not that I'm recommending this to you but I FINALLY found what I needed at Goodwill!
Well, Cathy we do have Goodwill stores, I think the nearest one is about 45 minutes away. Maybe I'll head down there one day soon!
Love your list and I am envious that you have so many options. We have many of those, but no Steinmart, Dillards, Ross or Belks. I wish we did have some of those stores nearby.
I used to really like Linens & Things....too bad they are all closed.
Another place you could try is Anna's Linen's. They have stores in most states, I think.
Lars, they have some really nice stuff, thanks!
I found a set on the Herberger's website and ordered it over the weekend. Got a fantastic deal too!
I will definitely be saving the Anna's Linens link for when we finish the spare room in the basement! There are a couple on the site that would do nicely!
Does anyone order from the Company Store?
We don't have this store up here in Canada, but they have such fun patterns that I've been tempted to place an order from them on many occasions, yet never have.
I'm nervous because taxes, shipping and duty costs usually kill any bargain by the time it's shipped up here from the States.
Can anyone speak to their quality?
We used to have a couple of their stores here in MN, but they are all gone. Looks like they only have 3 storefronts now and they ae all in WI.
I haven't shopped there in years, but their quality was always very good! I have several of their feather/down pillows, and in the past had one of their down comforters. Very nice, all of them.
I feel your pain. I have a comforter I love and can't find any drapes/curtains to go with it so I decided I would just get another entire set with matching drapes. I can't believe what is out there. Huge florals are back in and the rest seem to be like you say, huge circles or some other nonsense. And I dare anyone to find a nice set in Cobalt blue. Haven't been able to find that in many years. I've tried on line, numerous stores and can't find anything I like. The best I've found so far is when I googled "Croscil."
I have found some very nice sheet sets at Tuesday Mornings from time to time.

World Cup Plans
by PuckStopsHere on 01/25/15 at 04:36 PM ET
Comments (2)
A big announcement yesterday was the NHL is going to hold a "World Cup" in 2016. It will run in pre-season from September 17th to October 1st. The problem with a tournament at that time is it doesn't seem likely that the KHL will stop its season (which is already underway at that point) for the tournament. Thus it isn't exactly a best on best tournament. Several players who should make the European teams will likely be unavailable.
The plans are that the 2016 tournament will have eight teams. There will be Canada, USA, Czech Republic, Finland, Russia and Sweden representing single countries. In order to fill out the tournament there will be a "Team Europe" which consists of players from other countries that are not represented. It is expected that even players from Asian countries such as Kazakhstan would be invited to play on this team. There will also be an under 23 North American team - the North American YoungStars. In fact all Canadian and American players who qualify for that team would not be eligible for the Canadian or American teams; they could only play for the YoungStars. That is a problem. In fact, there were times when Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby were the best player in the world and they would not have been eligible to play for Canada. This takes away from the World Cup concept.

Flyers Struggle
by PuckStopsHere on 01/24/15 at 06:02 PM ET
Comments (4)
The Philadelphia Flyers have been one of the most interesting teams in the NHL. They haven't done very well so far this season. They have a 19-29 record with 7 regulation tie points. That gives them 45 points and leaves then 12 points back of a playoff berth. This has been done despite some significant individual performances. Jakub Voracek leads the NHL with 56 points. Claude Giroux has 51 points and is fifth in scoring in league. On defence, Mark Streit has 34 points and is fourth in scoring among defencemen. Any team with as many high scorers is unlikely to be doing as poorly as the Flyers. What is wrong in Philadelphia?
One problem is that there isn't a significant scorer beyond the top three of Voracek, Giroux and Streit. The Flyers have no other players with as many as 30 points at all star break. They only have three more above 20 points (Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds and Sean Couturier). The Flyers have a very limited group of players who can score. They are even worse defensively. There is no top flight shutdown defenceman in Philadelphia. Nick Schultz is the player who best qualifies and he is well below star level. Mark Streit, Michael Del Zotto and Andrew MacDonald lead their defence in ice time per game and none are too defensively sound.

My All Star Game Injury Replacements
by PuckStopsHere on 01/23/15 at 03:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
A couple weeks ago I posted my NHL All Star Game rosters. Unlike the NHL, I like the East Conference vs. West Conference game a lot more than two teams selected by captains that they will use. Thus I have kept the East vs. West format. I haven't worried about selecting rookies to participate in the skills competition but not the actual game - I see little point in that. In fact it seems to keep rookies who are All Star worthy out of the actual game itself. I have Filip Forsberg and Aaron Ekblad listed as All Stars. The NHL doesn't since they are only listed as rookies despite being worthy All Stars. I am holding myself to the constraint that at least one player comes from each team - which the NHL did initially but after injury hasn't bothered. Detroit will not have an All Star representative in the actual game since Jimmy Howard got hurt. The NHL appears to have let several veterans choose not to play in the All Star Game. That is the only logical conclusion given Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk and the Sedin brothers not being chosen from their respective teams when they are far more logical choices than the players actually selected (Jimmy Howard and Radim Vrbata). I am not doing this in my game because I have no reliable way of knowing exactly which players may have been offered an All Star berth but declined it. Thus I almost certainly have All Star players who are not actually available.
In order to determine which players are injured and thus unavailable for the All Star Game, I am using the NHL injury list on tsn.ca. This list gives Pekka Rinne, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang as injured players that I put on my original teams. I suspect that Malkin and Crosby may have injuries that will keep them out of the All Star Game but no regular season games, meaning that some players who are opting out of the All Star Game are getting out in my system - but not all.

Top +/- Rating
by PuckStopsHere on 01/20/15 at 02:13 PM ET
Comments (0)
I often look at the +/- ratings list and try to explain why the current leader is who he is and what that means. +/- ratings are a crude tracker of puck possession. The problem is they track a low number of events. There are usually only a handful of goals in a given game. That gives a handful of data points. Much of the game is not recorded in a +/- analysis. Goal totals can be significantly affected by shooting and saves percentages. A team may possess the puck but struggle to score or may score with little puck possession. Thus +/- is an imperfect tracker of puck possession. Nevertheless it has some value.
Currently Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning leads the league in +/-. He has a +28 rating. This is two points better than teammate Tyler Johnson. In fact their entire line including Ondrej Palat all have very good +/- ratings. All three have very good PDOs. This is the sum of the shooting and saves percentage for their team when they are on the ice in even strength situations. Generally high PDOs like this are a sign of good luck. The league average will be 1000 and most of this rating is usually unsustainable. High shooting percentages and saves percentages rarely last for significant amounts of time. Thus a significant portion of the +/- success of this line is unlikely to last.

AHL Standings
by PuckStopsHere on 01/19/15 at 12:54 AM ET
Comments (1)
Last week I took a look at the AHL standings and found the Manchester Monarchs (Los Angeles Kings affiliate) and Oklahoma City Barons (Edmonton Oilers affiliate) tied for the lead. Oklahoma City has taken a two point lead over Manchester. They have a 27-14 record with five regulation tie points. This gives them 59 points.
The Edmonton Oilers may be tied for last place in the NHL, but they have a top farm affiliate. Is this a sign of better things to come? Not necessarily. The AHL is a league of men who are no longer serious NHL prospects and boys who are prospects. Generally the men are better than the boys today, although the boys will be much better in the future.
Jason Williams the Oklahoma City top scorer is 34 years old. He has no NHL future. Their top defenceman Brad Hunt is 26. He is probably as good a player now as he will ever be and today he is no NHL prospect. Richard Bachman has been their top performing goalie. He is 27 and also will not likely improve. The best players in Oklahoma City are men beating up on the boys who are prospects elsewhere in their league. As a result, they have little future value to the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL. The Barons success is not a silver lining for the Oilers poor season.

Top Defenceman This Season
by PuckStopsHere on 01/15/15 at 05:47 PM ET
Comments (1)
It was November when I picked Mark Giordano of the Calgary Flames as the Norris Trophy leader. I think he has slipped to second place in the Norris Trophy race. I think Shea Weber of the Nashville Predators has surpassed him. Weber is playing against the toughest competition of any defenceman in the NHL this season. He is scoring successfully with ten goals and 29 points. This puts him a few points back of league leaders Kevin Shattenkirk and Giordano. It is his defence that gives him the lead. Weber is a significant reason that Nashville has been a successful team this year.
Weber has been a Norris Trophy candidate for several years but this could be the year that he emerges victorious. He is the best all-around defenceman in the game right now. Some others have better offensive skills but he has the most value to his team. We will see if he maintains this lead the rest of the way through the season.

AHL Standings

I last looked at the AHL standings just before Christmas. The Utica Comets (Vancouver Canucks affiliate) led the league with its closest challenge coming from the Manchester Monarchs (Los Angeles Kings affiliate). Utica has slipped back a bit since then. Manchester has the league lead with 54 points. They are tied with the Oklahoma City Barons (Edmonton Oiler affiliate). One point behind them is the Springfield Falcons (Columbus Blue Jackets affiliate). Utica is two points behind that.
Both Oklahoma City and Manchester have a 25-12 record with four regulation tie points. Springfield is 25-13 with three regulation tie points. There isn't much to separate these teams.
Manchester and Oklahoma City are both top offensive teams. Oklahoma City leads the league with 122 goals scored. Manchester is one goal behind them. Manchester has the two top scorers in the league in Brian O'Neill and Nick Shore. Jordan Weal is fourth in league scoring. Oklahoma City has a more balanced offence. Jason Williams is their top scorer and he is eighth in league scoring. They have seven different players with more than 20 points.
There is no clear front runner in the AHL standings. It will be exciting from here on out to see how things unfold.

Top Scorer At Even Strength
by PuckStopsHere on 01/10/15 at 06:14 PM ET
Comments (0)
If I asked you who the top scorer this season at even strength is, who would you guess?
I bet most people would be surprised to learn that the answer is Tyler Johnson of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He has 36 points at even strength. This is two more than league scoring leader Jakub Voracek, who is second. In terms of total points, Johnson has 45 which places him sixth in the league.
Even strength points is usually a better measure of a player's scoring ability than total points because it removes unequal power play opportunities from point totals. Johnson is a surprise top scorer and as a result did not start the season on the Tampa Bay power play. He is currently fifth in power play ice time in Tampa. He is 50 or 60 minutes of power play ice time behind several of the other top scorers.

My NHL All Star Rosters
by PuckStopsHere on 01/09/15 at 03:32 PM ET
Comments (9)
The NHL All Star rosters will be announced this weekend. I want to post my teams before this occurs. The game will occur January 25th in Columbus, Ohio. The All Star format is a bit unclear. Both coaches announced in Darryl Sutter of Los Angeles and Peter Laviolette of Nashville coach West Conference teams. I have assumed the game will be East Conference vs. West Conference. That may not be true if the coaches both are from the West Conference. I have also ensured that at least one player is on the rosters per NHL team. The NHL will likely do that as well, however they include a group of six rookies who will only participate in the skills competition and not in the game and a rookie may be the only participant for a given team. I am not interested in using this trick. I have not picked a group of rookies. Thus a rookie who is not in the All Star Game cannot be the only player for a given team.
There are 42 All Star Game roster spots and 30 teams. That leaves 12 players available to be freely selected without account for their team. Five Chicago Blackhawks were voted into the game. This removes four of these slots. We are left with only eight team independent selections. Three are on the West Conference team and five on the East Conference team. As a result, there are players who are better than some of the All Star selections who have been left out of the game.
Here are my rosters:

Hi, I am trying to write a hive query to find the equivalent of NOT IN / NOT EXIST in SQL.
However, Hive does not support this. It does have Left Semi Join which serves as IN but NOT does not support.
I am wondering if there is any way to do this without resorting to using left outer join and finding nulls.
Example Query in SQL:
SELECT uuid from feed f WHERE f.uuid NOT IN (SELECT uuid FROM message);

good restaurant suggestions, nice brochures, we were very pleased and ate at two of those they recommended
Was made very welcome here. I am also a geocacher and they have one on the premises . . . available only during daylight hours.
Having not visited Kerrville before and needing info on what to do and see with the time we had and also addressing our likes and dislike. Visitors Center was just happy to help and also added info that we had not thought of. Wonderful folks.
very helpful by phone, they answered questions and sent email info response as well as sending infomation on the town and activities.
My first stop in Kerrville was to the visitors center. The lady tending the desk was very nice and helpful pointing out places on a town map to see.
Both employes were very helpful gave us maps and information on drives to take in the hill country and were to go kayaking.
If you're coming to the quaint hill country town of Kerrville, TX, and I highly suggest you do, stop at the Kerrville Visitors Center. You can't miss the location southbound on route 16 on the right hand side next to the Cracker Barrell. There is so many things to do in Kerrville that you may not be aware of or...
Mrs. Mary Heart Frost is such a sweet and very helpful lady. My 9 year old daughter was so impressed with her that she drew her a lovely picture for her to keep. This is a must see for visitors in Kerville.
There was good info for the historic district, as well as for all events happening in the area. Ladies were very knowledgeable. Because of info we picked up here, we saw an outdoor play, "Anne of Green Gables," in nearby Ingram and really enjoyed it.
Very helpful assistants working there...gave great suggestions of what to see and do in the area. Extremely generous in giving out maps and brochures. Both of the workers were friendly and knowledgeable of touristic interests.

Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Hosts Underwater Concert
By editor
Originally published on Mon July 14, 2014 11:34 am
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Hundreds of people attended an underwater concert on Saturday. It happened at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Four hours of music were piped through underwater speakers as we're hearing now - songs from "Flipper" and "the Little Mermaid" were played, it is said, to entertain diverse, snorkelers and marine life. No word if any dolphins asked for the music to be turned down or if they requested music from "Moby Dick" or "Jaws." It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Best birthday present ever.
We're taking out all our lawn and putting in water features and plants and doing it all ourselves. We wanted a swing for beside our front yard feature. It's right in front and in line with our living room window, so it had to fit in smoothly with the rest of the (soon to be) naturalized landscape.
We wanted comfort cuz it's for using not decor. We have lots of sun in the summer, so metal is out and wood can get prickly without lots of tending. We also wanted something we could train vines up and have them for shade rather than a canvas canopy.
Not asking for much, were we?
I saw this lovely little swing and said I want it. I looked at the price and said I REALLY WANT IT! It's pretty without being frufru. It's solid without being massive. It's comfortable without being indoors cushiony. And its canopy support will easily accept a vine and become part of the naturalized garden.
I love it even more now I have it. The seats are very comfortable, it's the perfect size and the side tables are great for that frosty glass as you sit and read next to the bubbling pillar, swinging gently. Can't wait to get all the shrubs and vines planted next spring!
The only caveat I would make is if the people using it are much over 200 lbs. It seems to handle the two of us quite nicely, but when I tried to get info on weight rating, they couldn't get it for me. Besides, the metal support bar across the center that is part of the structure of the seat w/b uncomfortable for a very large person sitting in the middle.
I could go on and on about this little item. My one regret is that it isn't made in the states, but price notwithstanding, none of those made in the states (and I looked...a lot) could match its aesthetic and practical qualities. C'mon US manufacturers...give us some variety! Check this little guy out!
Would I recommend it? In a heartbeat.

Just received 4th shipment. First shipment had all parts and was defective. Next three came packaged differently and had no cover or hardware. Pretty worthless without hardware to assemble!! Was told on phone "maybe I should consider another item". We would not have tried 4 times if we did not like it. Any possibility the warehouse could check a couple boxes to see if they are complete instead of playing shipping tag with Fed-X? Fed-X must love you guys.

1996 Toyota Corolla DX 4dr Sedan
I bought my '96 Corolla in May of 2012 from a Porsche dealership. It was used with 106k miles on it, and I probably overpaid for it at $4k. I
haven't put more than 5k miles on it since my purchase, but it has been a great car to me! I never worry about it not starting and it has never had any major problems - all I've really put into it is routine maintenance.
For a car that is nearing twenty years old, it's got surprisingly good gas mileage. I get 30 hw and 25 city, give or take. My car is also an automatic, which would explain the mpg being a little lower than that of the standard manual models.
Being a college student, it's cheap to maintain and perfect for me.

This is the second one I owned and I must say I love them.
100% reliable. Always starts.
Almost 200K on it and still purrrs like a kitten.
Nice speed out of them too.
I would tell anyone that if the price is right go for it.
I had
the one before and it lasted 250K until I let someone use it.
Clutch was gone when they came back.
Didn't think it was worth the fix.

I bought this car with about 100,000 miles and put another 20,000 on myself until I wrecked it this year. This was a car that I could always count on to start. Mechanically, it had very few problems. The struts went out, the interior door handles broke, the radio never worked and the fasteners for the bumper guard came apart so if you drove at high speeds the bumper guard would sometimes come loose. Overall I would reccomend these cars as a good A to B vehicle, but in the future I will never own one again if I can afford something nicer. It was never a joy to drive, handled poorly, no pick-up on acceleration and starts vibrating pretty bad around 70 mph.

I sold my 96 Toyota a week ago & already miss that car. It was very dependable and I even drove it to AZ and back. In the 11 years I had it I only had two problems. One was electrical wiring & the other was my gas tank was punctured. I prob. hit something but once these repairs were made it was back to its dependable self. I wish I still had this car and when I placed an ad selling it I had numerous calls & sold it within 4 hours for 200 less than asking price. If you need a reliable car this is it! Don't hesitate to buy. I have a big family now & it was no longer practical but I sure wish I could've kept it.

I bought this car used with 36,000 miles on it in 1999.It now has 182,000 and still in great shape. Never changed the timing chain or transmission oil. Car was always reliable and never left me stranded anywhere. By far the best car i ever owned.

A great but noisy commuting car with no style, requiring rustproofing and following a maintenance schedule to ensure its advertised reliability, particularly in snowy and salty climates. Mine came with a 1.6 liter engine and 3-speed slushy automatic with lockup that engages only at 48 mph. Merging onto highways a major challenge. Engine dies with a full load of friends going up steep hills and struggles when passing on the highway. Fuel economy is disappointing due to lack of gear ratios and overdrive. At more than 60 mph the engine runs hard and quickly eats up gas. Most efficient running at 50 to 55 mph. The aging shocks (especially rear shocks) were nice and soft before they broke.

I have never had luck with cars, so when I have purchased this car from a friend I thought as long as it gets me through a year. But this has turned out to be my favorite car I have ever owned, and there have been many. The mileage is great, and I haven't had any major problems. I would say that cruise control would have been nice in this car but not necessary. I would buy another car like this if I could find one.

1996 Toyota Corolla 4dr Sedan
I purchased this vehicle off the lot brand new, never had any major problems just regular maintenance and general upkeep changed a few batteries, timing belt after 100K and struts on the 150k mark it needed it. When it was paid off I just used the money I saved over a year and spruced up the engine. This car has become my favorite and of course well cared for still classy (did I mention Paid for). I started sprucing it up now everyone wants to buy it - sorry no sale here. I tricked it now it's completely mine. Have to thank TRD Japan for its good supplies in the Asian Market for this vehicle. USA did not supply the 93 to 96 corollas well... stylish gas saver and good ole lil' car

I have been looking to buy a new car for some time now but nothing shows the reliability that the 1996 corolla does. My car has almost 170,000 miles on it and it has never broken down. Have replaced brakes and tires from wear and tear but that is it. I don't even change the oil as often as I probably should but the car is a champ. Pick-up isn't the best and it's very loud (vibrations/rattles/outside noise). No special features, no power options. But in the end probably the best 3000 dollars spent. Plan on driving it until it can't drive any longer.

I bought my corolla over 2 years ago from my mom, she had it for 8 years herself. She never had one problem with it and neither have I. Just replaced the timing belt and that's it besides normal maintenance!! It feels like a 5 year old car with 50,000 yet it has 180,000 and is now 13. If you're looking for reliability this is the car for you.
