What do you think of the new blog template (template is the look of the blog)? I don't think my sweet husband is a fan (although maybe he just needs some time to get used to the change)... but anyone else have an opinion on it?
P.S. On an unrelated note, I have to say thank you to all my new followers! Since my "plea" for more followers last week, I have an additional 11 followers... woop woop! My thanks and appreciation goes out to ALL my "followers," whether you are an actual follower or just a devoted fan (like my grandma who isn't a real "follower" but is my most dedicated commenter and probably one of my biggest fans).

- Here's the visual art I did for a board-game called Pony Express.
"Pony Express uses a simple poker dice system combined with bluff and bluff calling to resolve the moves of the players all the along their way on the board. Combined with the fact that dice are also used as bullets to shoot the other players pawns during duels or other gunfights, you get an idea of the unique ambiance around the table during a Pony Express game session!"
The game is in sale right now.

Official VTech Cordless Phones Store updates in the news
12 Days of Christmas With VTech! Plus the Most Thoughtful Grandparent Gift!
December 19, 2014
An amazing tool I recently came across is the VTech CareLine, I found this to be a fantastic system that not only helps grandparents keep in touch with friends and family, but also provides some pretty cool safety features as well. I have a grandmother that has been loosing her sight since I was a child and is now legally blind, she can only see a very narrow field of vision and I know this will be the perfect gift for her this Christmas. The phone system comes with big picture photo dial, this means you can put the photos of those you call the most or maybe just all the grandchildren Wink right their on the phone easy to see and you can be talking to them with just the push of one button!
Top 5 tech gifts for grandparents
November 12, 2014
Lots of grandparents are still using landlines. And this phone can make life easier for loved ones. Its large, easy-to-see buttons include four speed-dial buttons into which you can place photos of the actual contacts for quick identification. The base unit's LCD shows info clearly, and even tilts up to adjust the viewing angle. The most intriguing feature is a small oval-shaped pendant that's actually a speakerphone with two buttons that can be programmed to dial out to an emergency responder or family member. Voice quality is excellent and the answerer has ample message capacity.

As I make my way down the street The air is crisp and there's snow at my feet. Then the crowd's mouths become agape, And a woman lets out a screech. A child's trapped with no escape. Then citizens point at a shape. It is a bird, not it's a plane. But wait; it's a man in a cape. His act is so kind and humane, The youngster is saved with no complain. The child's parents' faces glow, The hero has done it again. Up, up, and away he goes. And where he come from, no one knows. He's just an alien, I suppose. He's just an alien, I suppose.

Feng Shui Fever
By Traci Hukill
WITHIN HOURS OF my first feng shui workshop, I'd broken a sweat re-arranging the bedroom furniture. It wasn't that I actually held any hope for our overpriced little rental with its insouciant stairs facing the doorway or its ill-mannered toilet that squatted exactly one floor above the front door.
I couldn't hope to deter unbridled ch'i from galloping through our rowhouse-style corridor, launching out the bathroom window like Pegasus and taking all our life force with it. Nothing in my power could change our location to the south side of a hill with a gently running stream at the base, the pinnacle of good placement for a Chinese house.
But it couldn't hurt to move the furniture around a bit. As I assessed the bedroom I kept in mind what Nancy Bennett, a feng shui practitioner speaking at the West Coast Dowsers Convention, advised her eager audience: We needed to dowse for bad ch'i, called sha, or forever function below par. So I did what any investigative journalist would have done. I closed the blinds, got down on all fours so the neighbors couldn't make out my silhouette, and dowsed using my shiny new L-rods.
It's a wonder I'm alive to tell about the terrible shape of my boudoir, sha-wise. One malevolent arrow knifed across the nuptial bed, piercing my beloved's bad knee and angling up to impale the noggin of Yours Truly before disappearing into the wall. Since Ms. Bennett warned us about the deleterious effects of sha on specific body parts, I knew that in order to save his knee and my sanity, I had to act now.
But where to move the bed? Another vicious sha current stalked a line about a foot from one wall, so that was out. Barriers like that spell trouble in a small room. In the end, I wedged the bed between the two currents, rearranged the scant furniture and admired my work--until further research revealed that the foot of the bed should never face the door, since the Chinese lay out their dead that way to let the departed's spirit escape. Our ceiling sloped, too--a definite minus in terms of positive ch'i flow.
And the final insult? My prized white down comforter made us symbolically even deader than the door-facing bed did.
The Black Hat Monk
It's complicated business, feng shui (pronounced "fung shway"). The words literally mean "wind" and "water," which helps explain the prevailing idea that ch'i, or life force, and its evil stepsister sha flow in currents that can be induced, guided or blocked. As the fine art of placement, it governs endeavors from arranging a vaseful of flowers to deciding the locale of a new city. Many practitioners use it in tandem with astrology to determine auspicious dates for weddings, business deals or other important events.
Until recently, American familiarity with this ancient art has suggested membership in a particular tax bracket. Enter one Donald J. Trump, whose latest multimillion-dollar real estate venture incorporates elements of feng shui. Are Mr. Trump's refined sensibilities at work here? Nah. "It's just another element in which you can have the advantage over your competitors," the mogul says bluntly, referring to the habit Hong Kong and Taiwanese investors have of dropping bad feng shui risks like hot potstickers.
Or consider that the esteemed feng shui master Professor Lin Yun, a monk of the Black Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism and the moving force behind the art in the United States, beamed happily upon Ronald Reagan's inauguration from his front-row seat while Chinese dignitaries glared at the back of his head from less advantageous positions.
And don't forget that the bedeviled Denver International Airport, whose errant baggage delivery system alone totaled over $228 million, was diagnosed as disastrous by three feng shui experts who proceeded to recommend cures--or compensatory measures--for the airport.
But the times, they are a-changing, and since feng shui's arrival on American shores nearly 20 years ago, ensuring healthy ch'i flow has become pretty darned economical. Used to be you had to live in Marin County to experience harmony with the earth. Now you can schlep on down to Gateways Bookstore and get everything you need--books that explain feng shui and the importance of color, mirrors to deflect ch'i flow, crystals to disseminate energy, chimes and bells to energize areas, and the indispensable desk fountain, which burbles merrily atop your desk while improving ch'i and soothing you and your colleagues with the natural sound of running water.
The nice thing is that most of these gadgets are fairly inexpensive. True, you might be moved to call in an expert like Ms. Bennett or Santa Cruz's own Pamela Ticoulat, who--naturally--makes house calls. And you can always buy designer crystals like the ones Bennett delicately hawks throughout her workshop. But a good book can send you well on your way to a home or work environment that's at the very least more esthetically pleasing.
And it looks like Professor Lin Yun has another memoir to lay next to his invitation to the White House. Mayor Rotkin himself has invited the master to Santa Cruz, where he'll perform a blessing ceremony for the city on Sunday.
"How do you bless the blessed?" queried one friend, and I directed the question to Ms. Ticoulat. "There are some good things about the feng shui here," she says. "We face the ocean and have the mountains at our back. But we built the city on a riverbed."
Santa Cruz's disaster energy needs dispersing, and that's where Professor Lin Yun comes in. By working with the principles of yin and yang and conducting a ceremony, his blessing will readjust the level of the city's energy.
That's fine, I think later as I crawl between the sheets. Let's earthquake-proof the city. But where should I put my bed?
This page was designed and created by the Boulevards team.
The ancient Chinese art of placement has people all worked up
Professor Lin Yun will bless Santa Cruz in a ceremony at the corner of Pacific and Front streets at 11am on Sunday. Luncheon and auction follow at noon ($99).The professor will give a 7:30pm lecture on "The Feng Shui of Santa Cruz" at Palookaville ($18/$16.50).

Starting life as The Dark Lurking, the newly-retitled Alien Undead is a decidedly mixed bag, playing very much like a live-action version of a shoot 'em up video game, with all the plot and acting skills you would expect from such a project. But it has a decent look for a low budget movie with high ambitions, and if all you want to see are people firing big guns at slimy monsters, you might find it entertaining. The film lifts its story and look from several sources, most notably Resident Evil, Doom and Aliens, as a rag-tag band of soldiers, scientists and a mystery woman (who we first see waking up alone in a white room…. Hmm, very original) battle against an army of mutant zombies in an underground research lab. There's a ridiculous plot twist when it turns out that the cause of all this mayhem is – wait for it – DNA extracted from the fossilised remains of Satan, and our mystery woman turns out to be the result of a cloning experiment with said DNA, making her a potentially evil time-bomb. For much of the running time, plot development takes a back seat to the cast running around firing guns at the impressively gloopy-looking mutants, but things do grind to a halt for a while so that the story can be set out. This is a bad move, as every actor here is astonishingly bad. The soldiers are all played by actors who have clearly watched a lot of action films and thought that the gravel-voiced machismo of one-note action movie stars is something to emulate – only to make those stars look subtle in comparison. Meanwhile, the supporting cast are the Giant Redwoods of wooden acting. Admittedly, no one is helped by the dialogue, which is nothing more than a succession of genre clichés, and the characters themselves, who are similarly one-dimensional. This is one of those 'military=good / science = bad' films that leave sensible people feeling a little revolted. However, for such a low budget movie, it's impressively put together, with excellent monsters and gore effects, impressive sets and fairly relentless action. You won't much care who lives or dies, but watching the action scenes makes for decent eye-candy. Have this on as background entertainment while you are doing something else and you'll probably find it an amusing distraction; sit and pay attention, and you might find yourself quickly becoming bored. In the end, I imagine writer / director Greg Connors would be more at home making games than movies The DVD comes complete with an entertaining 'making of' and a short film from the same director that shows more imagination, but many of the same faults.

Transgenic cotton has been found growing in the wild in Mexico by researchers studying the gene flow of wild cotton populations, cites a new report published in the October edition of the journal Molecular Ecology.
The study, titled "Recent long-distance transgene flow into wild populations conforms to historical patterns of gene flow in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) at its centre of origin," revealed that cotton, genetically modified to resist pesticides, insects and antibiotics, showed up in nearly 25 percent of the 270 wild cotton seeds acquired for the study, with at least one of the collected seeds growing nearly 500 miles from the closest genetically modified cotton plantation.
While some of the GMO cotton seeds could have traveled by way of vehicles, strong winds, water or animals, this marks the third GMO plant species to establish a population in the wild behind Brassica and bentgrass, according to the study.
Ana Wegier, lead author of the study and a researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico's Ecology Institute said, "It is urgent to stop the flow of genes between cultivated and wild plants." A major issue of concern for scientists and anti-GMO advocacy groups is that the now third finding of GM plant populations growing in the wild could lead to reduced diversity of wild plant species, which could be devastating for ecosystems, human health and food safety, as well as create legal tensions over crop drift and pollination by the patented seeds.
Companies including Monsanto, the world's largest genetically modified seed manufacturer, have successfully sued farmers whose non-GMO crops were contaminated by the company's GMO seeds usually by way of crop drift from neighboring farms planting the genetically modified seeds.

Roy "Judge" Bean
Mason County
Kentucky, USA
Mar. 16, 1903
San Antonio
Bexar County
Texas, USA
Western Law Figure. Born in Mason County, Kentucky, during the Civil War, he ran a blockade by hauling cotton from San Antonio, Texas, to British ships off the coast. After the war, he established a small saloon near the Pecos River in a tent city he named Vinegaroon. With the nearest court being 200 miles away in Fort Stockton, the Texas Rangers requested that a local law jurisdiction be set up in Vinegaroon and on August 2, 1882, Bean was appointed Justice of the Peace for the new Precinct 6 in Pecos Country. He held court in his saloon calling himself the "Law West of the Pecos", not allowing hung juries or appeals. By December 1882, railroad construction had moved further westward, so Bean moved his courtroom and saloon 70 miles to Strawbridge in a location he named Langtry. There he continued to be the soul judge of law and relied on a single lawbook, the 1879 edition of the "Revised Statutes of Texas". Langtry did not have a jail, so all cases were settled by fines for the exact amount in the accused pockets. He is known to have sentenced only two men to hang, one of whom escaped. Horse thieves, who were often sentenced to death in other jurisdictions, were always let go if the horses were returned. Although only district courts were legally allowed to grant divorces, he did so to anyone with $10. He charged $5 for a wedding and ended all wedding ceremonies with "and may God have mercy on your souls". He refused to send the state any part of the fines or fees but instead kept all of the money. He won re-election to his post in 1884, was defeated in 1886 and in 1887, when the commissioner's court created a new precinct in the county, he was appointed judge serving until 1896.

Why Aren't Search Engines Designed for Long Tail Users?
Because they're targeting the wrong generations?
Msg#: 4361447 posted
4:11 pm on Sep 12, 2011
(gmt 0)
I've wondered for a while why the major search engines just offer one algorithm and way of searching and focus so much on trying to second guess the user. Why don't instead search engines offer ALL of the following:
1) Default algorithm searching (for non-expert searchers)
2) Search by algorithms #2-50
3) Custom algo (searchers make their own algorithm)
4) Algorithmless searching of entire database (for real experts - no personalization, no second-guessing of semantics, just pure search expertise)
Basically, the idea behind this is that users follow the long tail, too. Different users with different intentions and different levels of expertise and willingness to learn could ALL be satisfied if search engines offered, like, fifty different search algos, the option to make your own algo, the option to search the database without filters, etc.
For example, you want to search for fried potato skins. You want to buy them. So you use a commercial algo that's worked for you before.
Or you want to find out why dogs pant. You don't know which algo to try. So you try all of them until you get results you like.
Or you want to find out all about Obscure Puce Widgets in Mackledemonia. No advanced algo produces good results, you've found, so you search the "algorithmless" database with expert searches that will extract from the slushpile what you need. YOU basically are responsible for your search results.
This system would be both easier to game and harder to game by spammers. It would involve a different kind of spam control - an organic one, in which searchers who WANTED to become better searchers could police their own results by custom making an algo or using an algo-less database search, and those who didn't could have them policed for them by using the ready-made algos.
Google, Bing, Yahoo, and all the old ones...they never really took the approach of making users into better searchers, but rather attempted/are attempting an artificial intelligence approach that tries to read the user's mind and "satisfy" her. They laid down the major highways, if you will, but at some point - maybe now - people will be ready for a network of little roads to their destinations, too, and the ability to navigate them at will. And I'm NOT talking social networking, but rather transforming search from a passive exercise into a creative one.
I suspect their focus on the major highways - The One Algo - is because they are targeting the largest market - the members of the older generations, many of whom are dealing with a learning curve just in getting online (my dad didn't even know how to use a mouse when he started) or perhaps are used to the old system of "one answer" for "one question." The younger generations are not much of a commercial target right now - but they should be. They were taught online navigation from childhood and a digital way of thinking - some from the cradle. They are likely to be more willing to "mash" up search to fit their needs - but perhaps "their needs" is a different concept in itself for them. Pacifying the user (what search engines do now) is a very different proposition from opening up a territory to creative exploration, which is inherently an activity (in my admittedly stodgy opinion) of the young. (That of course is a generalization, and the older members who read this board are HIGHLY likely to be explorer-minded, and to know others who are, too - but we're
Such an approach would not only focus on younger generations and long-tail users, but also take care of some of the issues with "search monopolies" that people have. When the capability to control the search is in the hands of the searchers as WELL as the algorithm builders, we find more good stuff. This is important, because it is OUR infrastructure that's being built, here - these are roads to OUR sites, both as searchers and as developers.
Anyway, not sure how to sum up here. I just find it depressing that Google and Bing have all that data, all those sites, and we (non-techies) can't access it in any other way than the filters they apply.

Most times a boolean search gives me what I want. I do agree that the search engines have begun to return "popular" and "personalized" results more often... but one can get around those by either a) turning those features off or b) ignoring them.

I agree that search should cater fordifferent levels of search experience/expertise but there's a big problem:
The more control you give, the less likely an advert will appear more appealing.
There may be room for a tech savvy search engine, but it costs a lot to build a large, up to date, index so there needs to be monetisation. Experienced users click on adverts a lot less than average ones, some even avoid them completely.
Of course there's the issue of web spam, that gets in the way of any algo; there's so much of it.
It would be possible to build and maintain a subset of the web (without spam and concentrating on sites known to be good), but that's probably not what experienced searchers want.
It's a big problem that probably has no viable solution (otherwise we would have seen it).

tangor, why do I need to go around the crap the big ones are showing down my throat?
It is obvious that what they are pretending to solve is contradicting starting parameters: make more money, show no spam, show more ads, satisfy kids, satisfy basic searcher, satisfy multi- or non-english searchers, satisfy an advanced searcher, satisfy a PhD, satisfy a guy searching for adult content, etc.
All these parameters guarantee two things: a) a Search engine is going to spam you with ads or will find ways to wiggle SERPs so to show you commercial results, and b) that au contraire to SEs increasingly neurotic "make mo money" behavior, a simple interface should exist to customize and IMPROVE user searching experience.
If this interface isn't presented in the near future, it will be created by another search engine, because IMHO it is long overdue.

hey guys need alittle advice here... I am currently trying to get my mustang running the way it should. I have a stock bottom end with 60cc afr 165's, 1.6 fms rockers, e-cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM II intake, fms shorty headers, off-road H-pipe, magnaflow catback, autolite plugs, fms wires, msd pro billet distributor n msd coil, timing set at 12 deg, 70mm accufab tb n spacer, 80mm pro-m mass air and 24lb injectors, Anderson power pipe, A9L comp, 225lph pump out back and Fuel pressure set to 34. everything is brand new (except the bottom end) and hasnt seen the road regularly yet, including every electrical sensor (including O2's) and i literally went through every single wire in every harness to make sure everything was ok. the car surges for a couple of mins on cold start up but smoothes out n idles great. i took it out on the street a couple times to see what it feels like and at part to almost full throttle it bogs like crazy. then, when it feels like it, it tears ass and takes off like a maniac like it should....it also stinks like its running rich most of the time, even at idle. I'm wondering if my combo isnt correct for my setup. is my upper intake too big? am i doing something wrong? timing/fuel? i dont want to register n insure it only to be disappointed. other than thinkin that the performer rpm II might b overkill i've tried to match up everything without going crazy. I want to get it tuned but I want to be able to drive it somewhat close to normal first. also the bottom end seems to be alittle tired and i think the rings are going because its smoking, not horribly though. I was going to just get another 306 to replace it but i want to know that this combo will work. I've done similar, mild setups on my other stangs and never had this problem before... If anyone can help I would appreciate it. PLEASE! i'm tired of staring at scratching my head while it sits in my driveway after spending all that time and money......thanks
the combo is fine, fuel pressure is a little low, try bumping it to like 38 or 40 and see if that helps out
Did you pull the codes? Always a good first step. Also remember that your computer needs time to learn. Its adaptive learning logic learns faster during the first several start ups, but time is needed. Also note that it will not learn unless the coolant gets over 170 and the air intake temp is above 125, meaning that the car must be good and warmed up. Also any learning done at idle will only apply at idle, so you need to go drive it around to get different states of operation. And don't just hammer it, the computer doesn't learn in situations where you are giving it more that half throttle. Good luck...
yeah 34 seems a bit low for Fuel pressure. Dont feel bad, i got done with my 331 project and the thing barely ran, i couldnt drive, towed it to Anderson Ford in IL, and the thing never ran better. No it doesnt run again cause i switched Intakes, injectors, and mass air meter, but for the time being it was great. Its amazing what a tune will do. Best money u can spend serioulsy!!
Tune! For sure! I just swapped out motors in mine, it did the same thing for the first couple of miles. Then after normal driving and computer learning, it ended up being fine. But with a combo like that, a tune is strongly recommended.
... ahh you know it never occurred to me the computer had to learn the new setup esp because its new, i should've known...so i guess its time to get in on the road give it a good learnin and i will raise and adjust the fuel pressure. I also deleted my egr and bought from RPM Injection the eliminator plug with the resistors prewired in the connector as well as the proper resistors to eliminate the EVR, TAB, TAD and canister purge which I hardwired in. i dont think this should have any bearing on my situation but it has thrown some codes after the eliminations. funny thing though, i cant pull codes during KOER only during KOEO (iv'e tried more than one computer too)...it currently hasn't thrown a code and even after i clear the codes i get KOEO codes without the check engine light coming on, after it was running and sometimes the codes are different but some same and i know the light works as it has come on before. sounds freaky to me, im pretty confident on the workings of the EEC-IV system and this one baffles me. I was going to try another harness if I dont come up with an answer. I have to write down the codes and post them and hopefully see if anyone can explain WHY im getting these codes instead of just reading WHAT it is and what to replace or fix. Def eventually going for a tune when im all settled. thanks for the advice and support....
One of the clues was that the OP wasn't able to pull engine running codes. That is either a fault in NSS circuit (clutch not pressed, A/C on, transmission not in Neutral, bad wiring) or a problem inside the computer. Oddly enough, there was no mention of the code 67 typically generated what that problem occurs.
I don't know if you remember jrichker but you and madspeed(I believe he chimed in) and 2000xp8 have been helping me out with my new combo. Tomorrow I should get 80mm back from pro m. I'm pretty sure it was calibrated wrong (bought in new). Sean Trotter never said what issue was found but I just sent it out tues and tracking says it'll be here tomorrow. If I'm reading flow sheet right it was cal for 42's not 24's. Runs fine with stock 58mm maf (No koer codes) so I'm banking on a serious increase in power with the 80mm. New combo is: AFR 165's (58mm comb cham)upgraded ls springs, rpm 2 intake, 24 # injectors, fti custom cam( 219/223 @ .050 .588 lift) 1 5/8 long tubes. Plus 190lph pump, pullies, ect. What do you guys think of this combination? Old combo was same bolt ons and heads with: typhoon intake(cause it was free) tfs #1 cam, 73mm C&L, 1 3/4 long tubes(I ditched them cause they were old and junky). That motor made 300rwhp 330 tq. I'm hoping to at least swap those numbers to 330/300. What would you guys guess?? What would you change?? I'm using SCT chip that was burned for old motor with different intake and less cam, I'm not driving it aggressively and it runs much better and smoother right now with it (I believe because of 24# injectors and stock 19# maf). When motor is fully broken in and dialed in well or dyno tuned I plan to use already installed nos wet system. Q is, am I safe spraying 125 shot through one fogger at throttle body?? I told Ed Curtis I'd be spraying it a little and he says it's fine at that level to continue spraying at throttle body. Agree??
I've always used "dry" systems but a 125 hit should be fine. As long as everything is tuned right and in proper operational order. Remember to drop to a cooler plug and take some timing out for the hit (I always ran @10* w/93 octane fuel or up to 12* w/some 100/93 oct 50/50 mix) I've also ran up to 175 shot on a stock block without a problem. /
Can't say for sure if you will hit your HP goal, but I know Ed really preached about a broad TQ curve when I bought my FTI from him. You should notice a definite increase. Joe
Oh yes indeed, and I've only ran it to about 5600-5800 once or twice so far, trying to drive it gingerly for a while to break in but it's soooo hard. Only time I've revved that high was accidentally while spinning in 2nd. I need tires BAD. I told mr Curtis that I wanted to drive it everyday but that I will be taking it to local 1/8 mi tracks and spraying around 125 shot with ET streets (which also need to be replaced). He said it should like the spray too It is definitely very streetable still, so far I love it. I've got some old really tall mcreary dirt track tires that always hooked like glue at track, dumping clutch at 5k on 100 shot, milled and home "ported" e7's, stock cam, intake. It was speed density then and really ran good. Had 120,000 hard miles when it started backfiring every time I hit 2nd gear

I'd love to say that I grew up reading Cervantes and Tolstoy, but I didn't. I grew up watching The Munsters and Hogan's Heroes. God, I hate to think how many hours I spent in front of the TV as a kid. I didn't become a serious reader until after college. Now when I meet people who don't read books, I want to say to them, "You're missing out!" I really think it's their loss. I don't mean that in a snobby way either, or because I'm a writer. It's too bad they're not taking part in perhaps the most satisfying... Read More

I'm Still Standing: From Captive U.S. Soldier to Free Citizen—My Journey Home
I was working in my college dining hall when I first caught wind of Jessica Lynch's capture back in 2003. As I scraped steam trays, I compared our situations. She is a brave soldier somewhere in the sands of Iraq. I am a pansy who spent her days in purgatorial peace in the tundra of upstate New York.

The Freak of Araby reminds me of my ten days in Turkey last year, touring around with an Istanbul native who is also one of my dearest friends, crammed into whizzing taxicabs and smoky pubs in which pseudo-mariachi bands crowded around our tables to encourage merriment.

The paper or plastic decision at the grocery store may be pretty easy for Nats fans this year. Yeah I know, it's only been a few games and it's spring training and people aren't in top form and...
Question- is the Nats pitching staff as bad as expected or worse than expected? Ladson sez that the hurlers have given up 65 hits and 30 runs in their first five games.
Watching Nats games this year might be simultaneously horrifying and heart-wrenching, like watching a drunk stagger around a park without pants on. These guys remind me of the replacement players MLB used during the 1994 strike.
I'm going to agree with Ball Wonk; less than 100 losses looks like the benchmark for success this year. I've got my brown paper bag at the ready.

Women's Studies at Hamline University The purpose of the women's studies program at Hamline University is to provide students with tools and experience to guide them in understanding the situation of women nationally and globally. The program encourages development of cultural and political awareness, as well as confidence and ability to identify and challenge systems of oppression that limit the freedom and potential of all people. The women's studies program strives to:• provide students the opportunity to explore the impact of gender, sexuality, race, class, and ability on women's experience; • develop awareness of cultural diversity and the process of social transformation; and• introduce students to research on the situation of women nationally and globally. Hamline's commitment to women began in 1854 when the university took its place among the first dozen coeducational colleges in the United States. That commitment was reaffirmed in 1990 when Hamline established a women's studies major and minor, furthering its dedication to gender justice and equality for all people. Women's studies students advance these goals by investigating a range of human experiences and social organizations from the perspectives of those whose participation has been traditionally omitted, distorted, or neglected. An interdisciplinary field of study, our students learn to analyze the forces that shape women's lives on individual, national, and global levels. They use feminist methodologies to consider women's contributions to and locations in the arts, biology, family and social systems, history, literature, politics, sociology and society, and religion. In this way, women's studies students examine how gender and sexualities, race and ethnicity, class, and ability organize experiences in American culture and around the world. As a result, they develop an awareness of social diversity that gives them confidence to challenge systems of oppression that limit the freedom and potential of everyone.Women's studies combines theoretical, practical, and research opportunities that prepare students for advanced study and professional work in a variety of occupational fields. Majors gain advanced multicultural competencies that allow them to closely analyze texts and social systems, write critically, and speak confidently. The Women's Studies major is a consortial major offered collaboratively by four of the Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC): Augsburg College, The College of St. Catherine, Hamline University, and the University of St. Thomas.

I have been looking for THE moto jacket for years, and I think I found THE ONE. If this jacket were a man, NY&C would have received a wedding invite. The other jackets from NY&C make me look too boxy and bulky, but this one has this asymmetrical zipper thing and awesome tailoring going on to make it an incredibly flattering fit. I was able to size down one size and it's perfect. Sleeves are a bit long for my arms, but I don't care, and it hits just at my hips and top of my jeans. I have no reason for a white moto jacket, but I love my black one so much I might get the white just because. Two soulmates!

王书刚雕塑装置作品展 | Wang Shugang at The Opposite House | ||||
REDBOX STUDIO + ALEXANDER OCHS GALLERIES BERLIN | BEIJING Exhibition 2010-1-3 | January - March 2011 Venue: The Opposite House, Sanlitun, Beijing ALEXANDER OCHS GALLERIES BERLIN?BEIJING Beijing, January 2011 - Wang Shugang sculptures are on view at The Opposite House in Sanlitun Beijing. This display is organized by RedBox Studio, in partnership with ALEXANDER OCHS GALLERIES BERLIN?BEIJING. Wang Shugang is an accomplished Beijing-based artist who returned to China in 2000 after developing his career for over a decade in Germany. As a graduate of the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, Wang demonstrates an exceptional command of the traditional medium in his sculptures, combining the figuration of 20th century Realism with Buddhist iconography and scenes of daily life in China. His signature motif is to present groups of anonymous figures that together comment on the essential relationship of the individual to his immediate society. This motif is expressed through such seemingly ordinary actions as the sweeping monk and the meditating lama or the standing Qi Gong-player and the squatting bald man. The conflict between tradition and modernity and the palpable loss of history and culture in the midst of rapid urbanization and artificial mass production often result in themes of nostalgia and reflection for Wang and his contemporaries. His figurative work, strengthened when viewed en masse, displays a rich expression of the sense of community and-when displayed in an urban landscape-provides a playful reflection on the quiet moments of daily life in China. Wang Shugang (b. 1960) currently lives and works in Beijing. His works have been widely exhibited between China, America and Europe and are publicly displayed in China, Germany and Canada.

Offered gluten free bun, it was OK. The gf menu had a different cheese than the non-gf version. Unfortunately they used the regular (bleu) which probably wasn't gf, they didn't know. Either way, I had a reaction, so it may not be for the highly sensitive.
I will never eat here again. Since finding out I had celiac I have gotten very sick from something they said was gluten free, but the chicken turned out to be "lightly breaded", had a gluten burger that was completely raw and ordered something that was supposed to come with mashed potatoes that ended up coming out with fries that were battered! If they are going to have a "gluten free menu" they need to get a better understanding on their ignorance potentially killing someone!
Brand new gluten-free dedicated menu with options that are packed with great taste, freshness, and abounding flavor.

Orchestra revamps string section
By TIFFANY RAZZANO
Article published on
Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012

From left are, Cameron Stanley, one of the teen performers who joined the Pinellas Park Civic Orchestra over the past six months; Helen Lane, June Van Dommelen, concert mistress, and Madge Ladd, principal first violin, who led the strings sections weekly summer rehearsals.
PINELLAS PARK Like many volunteer orchestras, over the summer Pinellas Park Civic Orchestra packs up its instruments and ceases performing until September.
This year, rather than take the summer off, a plucky group of musicians who play string instruments saw an opportunity to improve their skills.
Led by principal first violinist, Madge Ladd, as many as 25 string players met weekly on Monday evenings, reviewing basics and tediously poring over method books.
We really wanted to build up their skills, Ladd said, to help with their [hand] positioning, with reading music, with playing scales.
Music director and conductor Art Hansuld said, They focused on just the challenges of their section. Strings are some of the most difficult instruments, more difficult than woodwinds and brass.
Most performers in the orchestra are middle-range players, he said, some only having played their instrument for just a few years. These weekly get-togethers helped take their music to a whole new level, boosting the musicians confidence, allowing them to play more boldly and to produce a better sound.
For Carin Wiseman, an adult beginner violin player who took up the instrument just four years ago, these sessions have been a godsend.
Theyre great, really wonderful, she said. Ive learned a lot already.
The effect on the sound of the entire orchestra has been tremendous, Hansuld said, improving the overall dynamic of the group and allowing it to tackle more difficult music. Brass and woodwind performers are excited to see the progress the string section has made in just a few months, because it opens up more possibilities for the orchestra as a whole. Having more performers at a higher skill level gives Hansuld more liberties when selecting songs for concert programs.
At its upcoming performance on Nov. 4 at the Performing Arts Center, the most difficult piece the orchestra will tackle is Beautiful Galathea, a fast-paced, advanced piece.
Just the fact that were even going to attempt The Beautiful Galathea attests to the vast improvements made by the string section over the summer, Hansuld said.
These special string sessions helped bolster the section in other ways. About 10 new performers joined the section on a regular basis, bringing the number up to 30 and counting and the snowbirds arent even back in town yet.
Three years ago we didnt have a dozen strings, Hansuld said. These sessions attracted new players because of the focus put on improving skills.
Players from other local volunteer orchestras the Tampa Bay Symphony and Suncoast Symphony Orchestra joined these weekly tutorials to keep themselves limber. Some stayed on with PPCO for the 2012-2013 season.
The section found itself attracting precocious teen players.
We have 15-year-olds to 92-year-olds, Hansuld said. We have the whole broad spectrum. This presents an opportunity for mentoring, and he often seats a student performer next to a more seasoned adult performer on stage.
A larger string section is imperative to the success of the orchestra, Hansuld said. The string section should make up the backbone of the orchestra. But since its been so small in years past, the louder brass and woodwinds instruments often overpowered it.
It became a battle of the sections, he said. Woodwinds and brass should be used like salt and pepper on food a little here and there and at big, dramatic moments.
The Pinellas Park Civic Orchestras next performance Sunday, Nov. 4, 7:30 p.m., at the Performing Arts Center, 4951 78th Ave. Performances are free and open to the public. For more information, visit

Unique reversible beds for teacup, small breeds and cats. Can be used flat as a soft lounging mat or by simply pulling the strings to adjust the size of the opening, it becomes the ultimate cozy hideaway.
Made to order and can't be exchange or returned.
Small pet beds for dogs and cats who like to snuggle and who are looking for warm spot. More cats bed at the Cat Corner cat beds and supply
Choosing the right pet bed size: Measuring your pets body length: when your pet is lying down measure body length, then add 8 inches. The total is the width your pet will need for an oval bed, and the depth your pet will need for a rectangular bed. If the bed has a bolster or other raised exterior, you;ll need to consider the outer dimensions, not the external ones. If you stuck between two sizes, go for the larger one. Please measure your pet carefully to make sure you are purchasing the correct size.

This ring is marginally acceptable because the "diamond" accent looks much more like a pearl than a diamond. It also makes the ring look like it has a stone missing where the diamond accent should be. The ring is attractive and has a certain character to it that made me decide to keep it and add it to my bling collection instead of returning & exchanging it for a different ring. It is comfortable, easy to clean, and it does get compliments & attention due to the fact that it looks like it has a stone missing where the diamond accent is, or should be! Sorry O.Co, but I must recommend discontinuing this item! IT DID TAKE ME ABOUT TWO WEEKS TO DECIDE TO KEEP IT! Because the rest of the ring is quite nice!
For such an inexepensibe ring it looks like a very expensive buy! I am very pleased with this ring and its elegance.
The tiny amethyst stone in the middle of the setting makes it look like there is a stone missing. I wear it, but it's not exactly what I was expecting. I'm wearing it anyway.
I am very satisfied with my purchase!!! Ships quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I purchased this ring for myself, but my mom (who was skeptical before about "fool's gold") actually begged me to give it to her! I bought a second one in a size bigger to wear on my right hand (which is a full size bigger than my left). This ring is true to size.
This is a nice looking ring to wear everyday for the value. I play golf in it because I do not like to wear my expensive rings, and this looks very nice for the money.
I wear it often and get compliments everyday.
turned / faded after wearing it only once. Stones were set poorly. Poor cheap design...Don't waste your money.
Can not believe how nice. Love it
This ring looks even better once i received the ring. I worned it everyday since I received 3 weeks ago

I have come across a missing rule that Syllable length does not take into account.
SyllableLength("raked") 2SyllableLength("rakes") 2SyllableLength("baked") 2SyllableLength("takes") 2SyllableLength("leaves") 2
I believe all of those words should be 1 syllable. My thought was that if the root word ended in a vowel then no syllable is added
however ...
poses, places and faces to name a few defy that rule so we rule need to modify the rule to say that if the root word ending sounds like s then, yes, add another syllable.
**edit add** one more issue
SyllableLength("volcano") 2SyllableLength("potato") 2
They are definitely supposed to be 3 syllables
SyllableLength("taxi") 1
Should be 2
SyllableLength("radio") 1

It's hard to grasp the breathtaking scale of the epic war between Microsoft, Google and Apple. Billions upon billions of dollars. Entire industries at stake. This is the board. These are the pieces.
What's at stake? Nothing less than the future. Microsoft wants computing to continue to be tied to the desktop—three screens and a cloud, as Ballmer is fond of saying. For Apple, it's all about closed information appliances with lots of third-party apps, computers anybody can use. And for Google, all roads lead to the internet, and the internet is synonymous with Google.

Postman Pat from Poland
Many and varied vehicles find their way to the driveway of the Newton ranch, but none have brought a warmer response from the boss and our offspring than Volkswagen's Caddy Life. "It's Postman Pat's van!" was the gleeful cry as they piled in for the trip to school, sports and the shops.
Well, no doubt someone will write in pointing out that Pat and his cat Jess would never dream of being seen in a Polish-built, German-badged van. But you get the idea of the cheery response the Caddy Life evoked.
And why not? At $31,990, the turbo-diesel version tested here could be just the ticket for someone in need of plenty of seats, maximum economy, minimum fuss and a smile.
The Life is based on the Caddy delivery van. But slide the side doors open and instead of parcels you'll find a three-seat bench with another two-seater behind it.
It claims to be the cheapest seven-seat people-mover you can buy. But that honour goes to the $27,990, 1.6-litre petrol version. So this one is still our cheapest turbo-diesel people-mover.
It's not completely spartan at that money, either. There are dual airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, three-point seatbelts for all passengers, air-conditioning, cruise control, single-CD audio and even alloy wheels and a full-sized spare tyre. An acceptably smooth, five-speed, manual gearbox is the standard transmission, but VW's dual clutch, six-speed DSG is an expensive $3000 option.
The Caddy Life makes little serious attempt at disguising its workaday origins. The exterior includes masses of plastic: the front bumper, the doorhandles, mirrors and bump strips, plus the annoyingly gripless latch for the single-piece tailgate.
There's also plenty of hard plastic and bare metal in the cabin - something you are reminded of every time an unbuckled seatbelt clangs into a panel. The rear windows also slide rather than wind. And yet the layout and presentation of the cockpit is all quite acceptable. The dashboard would be familiar to anyone who has driven the latest Golf V. The linkage between Caddy and Golf goes deeper than that. The Caddy shares much of the award-winning small car's important mechanicals, including the MacPherson strut front suspension and 1.9-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel engine. But the rear-end is a more tradesman-like, and cheaper, dual-leaf spring arrangement. The result is an entirely acceptable combination of peppy performance, calm ride and crisp handling. By people-mover standards, it's above average.
The engine produces 77 kW and an impressive 250 Nm. Combined with short gearing, it is something of a sprinter, well capable of matching the petrol-engined opposition at traffic-light grands prix even when loaded. There is minimal turbo lag, an ability to consume as little as 7.0 L/100 km of diesel if treated with respect, and Euro IV emissions compliance.
Around town it's a great little device, thanks to the responsive engine, light steering and adequate vision. On the open road the Life's dynamic behaviour is aided by a well-tuned traction control system that effectively quells the front-wheel drive tendency to wheelspin and axle tramp under acceleration. The weakest part of the package is the simple rear suspension, which tends to bang and jump when encountering large road corrugations and potholes.
Inside the Caddy Life is also not the quietest place. Those big bumps tend to resonate through into the cabin. The engine's lusty nature is backed up by a raucous soundtrack and plenty of vibration.
VW has packed the maximum number of seats into the available space. The middle-row split-folds 66:33 and flips and then tumbles forward. Once out of the way, there's plenty of space easily accessed via the sliding doors for groceries, shopping, drum kits, et cetera.
The rear bench is less useful. Adults will find legroom minimal, although headroom here, and in all parts of the cabin, is exemplary. But there's just 190 litres of luggage space with all seats occupied. Only the rear seat back rest folds, so to truly exploit the rear space for luggage, you have to pull the 50 kg seat out.
It's all worth thinking about and playing around with if you are interested in this type of vehicle. You should pay attention to the way the various seat movements are operated by straps, whether you'll need to pull that bench seat out regularly, and see whether your kids can open and close the sliding doors, which are heavy.
Of course, your kids - if they are anything like mine - may never let you get as far as making an objective assessment of the Caddy Life. It's basic transport, sure, but with plenty of character.
