Playoff Showdown
Leafs and Habs on a Saturday night…. best place to be. Leafs and Habs in the last game of the year, with the last playoff birth on the line – a storybook ending.
Win and you are in.
That's the message the should be drilled into every Montreal Canadien today.
No hoping for team A to beat team B and team C to lose in regulation – win and you are in.
Win the game.The Habs control their own playoff destiny and it's time to see what they are really made of.
For the youngsters that helped propel Montreal into this position, this will be the biggest game of their lives. With everyone in the country and everyone in the hockey world tuned in.
For the veterans, it's time to see their experience and leadership.
Which of the go-to guys on either team are going to show up and excel?
Koivu -vs- Sundin
Kovalev -vs- Tucker
Raycroft -vs- Huet
Souray -vs- Kaberle
McCabe -vs- Komisarek
Habs -vs- Leafs.
Important..let's get the 1st one…it's as good as a 2-goal lead. Sundin and ass-clown Tucker are slumping. Leep them off the board. Pepper 'Razer' Raycroft, cuz he can fold like cheap patio furniture. If the Leafs are`tied, 2-2, 3-3 with 2 minutes to go they will PULL him What a nutty scenerio, huh ?
Go get 'em Habs..let's get the kids flying. And Saku and Kovy. You've been there before. Let's step it up!!
Go habs. Make us proud.The Duke in Toronto
This is may go down as one of the biggest games in the most storied rivalry in hockey history and right up there with the biggest in pro sports(Yankees/Red Sox, Celtics/Lakers, Bears/Packers etc.). This may even be one of the biggest games in Habs history.
Will the Habs show up? And which goalie will shut the door? Habs win and they're in. Couldn't ask for anything better. This is the best saturday of my young life. I've only gotten to see one cup, I want to see another. Tonight is the first step. Go gettem boys. This is your destiny, do you chose to accept it or leave it?
"Habs-nation unites tonight"!
Not if Huet is in the net tonight. Ummmmmmmmmm, lets see how many soft goals Huet will allow tonight. Carbo should go with the one who got them this far. Yes, I HALAK. Go with the hot GOALIE Carbo. Don't make another mistake. This will be the biggest mistake of the year. A mistake that will cost you a playoff spot.
Yes, I Will be like Joshtm now and repeat my self until I make a point.
You take a look at Huet & Halak's stats. They are the basically the same. The only thing different is the Sav % & the GAA. Huets is a little better yes.
Huet has 19 wins & 15 losses. That's 4 more wins than losses.
Halak has 10 wins & 6 losses. That's 4 more wins than losses.
So based on the trend of the figures, if Halak would have played the same amount of games as Huet their records would both be basically the same.
When Huet lets in that soft goal or goals think of me and what I said.
Remember the old saying "YOU DANCE WITH THE ONE WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE" or something like that……………….
Wow,what a wonderful feeling it would be to beat up the Laffs tonite ! At the same time what a horrendous fuckin feeling it would be to loose to the fuckin Laffs !!!! I need Valium !!!!!!!
Yeah seriously if we win with conviction and this game is really tight it might just boost our guys enough to beat the sabres. And if we beat the Sabres, then it goes to show that if we really work hard we can go far!
Anyone else out there a bit preoccupied today? I have been useless for anything except count the minutes until puck drops and talking to random strangers wearing habs gear. GO HABS whether Huet or Halek is standing in front of the cage! It is hard to argue the importance of either player.(without Huet's hot start, Montreal would already have tee times booked!)
Predictions – Habs overcome early cheap leaf goal to win 4-2 (one empty netter) and Huet shuts the mouth of R Habs4 Real! Win boys! -
i've been bashing the habs all year….carbo gainey all their moves at the deadline playing abby instead of huet..not givin sammy enough time and opportunity…i even hated the habs this year and stoppe watching…but here we are…us against the leafs…my boy huet is back in nets..and it all comes down to this
so no more bashing..i am back…i wish good luck to the boyz and i want in the playoffs despite everything else…this is a classic night of hockey and it will be remembered…let's pull it off boyz -
Isles leading 3-0 agasinst Philly. Isles will win, and by start time of tonight's game: HABS AND ISLES ARE TIED!! ISLES 1 POINT AHEAD OF THE LEAFS!
So, unless the habs win, (not 1 point), we can only hope NJ wins tomorrow, or it's wait until next year. If the habs had played as hard as the NYI are playing, we would already be in the playoffs. Remember, the Islanders lost their #1 goalie,too, but chose to play hard irregardless of that fact, and put in the necessary effort, UNLIKE THE HABS!
I know the habs are going to regret those no shows in Ottawa and NY.
Oh well, the weather is getting better, hopefully it will warm enough next week for a golf game. -
It's official:
The Habs WILL NOT be advancing to the post season in 2007. I repeat WILL NOT be advancing to the post season in 2007. They are officially eliminated from the post season.
"Canadiens head coach Guy Carbonneau confirms it: Cristobal Huet is in nets tonight. Having played a sum total of 20 minutes of hockey since he tore his hamstring on Feb. 14 and required surgery three days later, it's up to Huet to save the Canadiens' season and lead the team into the playoffs".
They are ROYALLY F_CKED BIG TIME NOW. So long boys. At least it is an early vacation.
The players don't get paid for the playoffs anyway. It is all gravy money for the owners…………..
Hot of the press:

Coach Carbo Screwed up yet another big game………..
Scotty Bowman should give Carbo a punch in the face and a swift kick in the Nuts…………..
The Isles will win tonight and I was reading a Toronto Star article this morning that Brodeur may not start tomorrow versus the Isles, then we know the Isles will win. Even if he does, the Devils do not have anything to play for, they might not show up and play hard at all, the Isles will win. We need to win tonight to render that game tomorrow meaningless for them. The Habs cannot show the same lack of heart that they showed at MSG on Thursday otherwise they will lose. I hope we kick some Leaf ass but we need to be at our best tonight. Let's play with HEART tonight and show some passion. It's very simple: Win tonight and we are in the playoffs. Go Habs Go!!
Thursday was a very important game. The Habs could have knocked two teams out of the playoffs. Double Whammy. They blew that important game just like they will blow this important game tonight.
Oh. Did I mention that the Habs season will be over tonight. Oh yeah, I did….
Halak will be saying to himself, that stupid ass Carbo….oh well my value will go up next year. And I got this team to the where they are now and the Great Huet will look like an ass………OLE OLE, OLE, OLE…..
The point is. If you score a couple of quick goals on Huet, his focus is gone he looses his cool.
Halak on the other hand does not loose his cool down a couple of goals and can come back and make some great saves. He has shown us that he can do that.
I'm pissed big time over Carbo putting in Huet. If they loose they deserve it.
The only A_S that I kiss is my wifes…………….
But if the Habs should win I will be a man & a half and accept a bashing…
Note to Gainey,1)no more pussy's in a C.H. ,2) no more small D men and no more D men who don't have a slap shot!3)no more Kovalev!4}NO MORE HUET!!!!
It's not going to happen tonight! All leafs! what did you expect?
This is what I expected, and knew leafs would win. After all, habs only care about getting to their golf game, and it shows! Too bad habs as usual, are a NO SHOW!
I expected that too! -
Xhabsfan… what are you talking about. The second goal was a little weak, but Huet stood tall against 23 shots and had zero defensive help.
Off Season moves,say goodbye to BONK,JOHNSON,BULLY,DANDY,NINNY,ABBY,MURRAY,SAMMY,HUEY ! Thanks for the memories…..NOT!!!!
All the habs do, is give their fans grief, and heartache!
I really don't like this team! And I like Carbo less!
Why couldn't he prepare his team, like Maurice and Rennie did! -
Starting Huet was the right call. Halak, as well as he's played, likely would have been on the bench licking his wounds by now. I'm sure Carbonneau fully expected this first period storm and elected to go with experience. So far, it's paid off.
The problem is Montreal's seemingly complete lack of effort to win and their subsequent failure at mounting any kind of an offensive attack.
Neither of these teams belong in the playoffs, in my opinion. Given their opposition, neither would survive one round.
West coast,THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO LET IN SOFT GOALS,ALLMOST EVERYTHING IS SOFT WITH A CH AND WHERE IS KOVALEV?? AND CAPTIAN??? KOIVU??????THE ROCKET IS CRYING !!!!
How about that, all you doom n' gloomers or closet Leafs fans, it's 3 all!
RYDER! RYDER! RYDER! chased Raycroft! What a turnaround!
Safe to say, entirely different Habs team showed up for the 2nd. Natural hat trick for Ryder to take a 4-3 lead and Raycroft chased … smells like … a playoff spot!
yeah yeah, never say never! Higgins and Ryder! This is amazing. hold on habs, HOLD ON!
Well ,next 20 mins ,eh! You know there going to throw everything plus the kitchen sink at us !I don't think either of these teams are going to do to much in playoff action,you would think with Canada paying for the N.H.L. All the Canadian teams would be powerhouses !!!
Huet did not lose this game. too many 5 on 3′s.
Is this the worst habs team in their history? YES! YES!
What a fucken team! Can't hold on to a 2 goal lead? PATHETIC PIECES OF FUCKEN SHIT!
C'mon Islanders! I'll be damned if the leafs will make the playoffs!
I also think the leafs have the referees in their back pocket! It's obvious. they made sure in leafs last 3 games, that leafs got all the calls so they could score on their PP. Leafs got all the breaks, starting with that flukey goal at the end of the 2nd period! I am so upset!
This was typically a Leafs (w/ Celestial support and refs giving them enough chances…not that we didn't help of course. But it's simply the trend for this 2006-07 version of the Habs. Also of note, last game for Kovalev (no doubt…here he is invisible for the two last games. Also, note Souray non present when the games is on the line. (injury or not, it says something for him)…got to expect it to be his last game. Huet weak and the defense very shoddy. Again, the Gods just wanted the Leafs to win. Someone please put together a reel of all this fluky shit goals the Leafs get….ahhh shit!!!
Get rid of the dead wood already!!

Bridge Replacement Project at Route 1 Bypass in Portsmouth
Middle Rd. and Islington St. Bridges Over Route 1 Bypass The New Hampshire Department of Transportation announces planned work associated with the replacement of two bridges spanning the Route 1 Bypass in Portsmouth. Beginning on Monday, June 3, 2013, this work will involve tree clearing, utility relocations, water and sewer line installations, and the complete replacement of the Middle Street (NH 33) and Islington bridges and their approaches. The Middle Street bridge will be closed completely on or about June 18 and will take approximately one full year to reconstruct. A signed detour will be put in place directing traffic to use Peverly Hill Road, Mirona Road, and Lafayette Road during the closure. The Islington Street bridge will subsequently be closed in the summer of 2014 for reconstruction, also anticipated to take approximately one year to complete. Traffic will be detoured over the new Middle Street bridge. Motorists traveling through the work zone during these time periods should anticipate periodic traffic shifts and night work on the Route 1 Bypass. Uniformed officers and flaggers will guide motorists through the work zone. Travelers coming from I-95 northbound will be asked to use Exits 5, 6 or 7 to avoid the construction work. ED Swett, Inc., of Concord, New Hampshire is the general contractor for the $4.3 million project, which is scheduled to be completed in September 2015. |

Well, I bit the bullet and finally booked my honeymoon today. We are going to Secrets Silversands Riviera Cancun for 6 nights. However, I have the attention span of a squirrel and won't be one that enjoys just spending endless hours sitting on the beach or pool... so I need ideas from those who have vacationed in this area for things we have to do while there and things to avoid (not cool, cost too much for what you do, etc.) TIA
Originally posted by dosry5 Schfinkter is smarter than he looks....
We went to Secrets Maroma Beach just down the coast for our honeymoon. We took a bus tour into Cancun to see the shops and Senor Frogs. But that is about all the help I have for you as we stayed around the resort drinking and playing volleyball. Edit: I lied, we took a kayak tour out into the Caribbean one day also. Our resort had a stand on the beach that had a couple different activities to do.
Wherever you go, go all-inclusive
When I went a couple years back we did a day trip to Chichen Itza (just took a bus with some tour group) which was pretty cool. The ruins were amazing and learning some of the background on all that was interesting. They also have this waterhole that you can swim in which was fun.
I hear the 'get abducted by a drug cartel' excursion is exciting. YMMV.
We went to Secrets in the DR. If your resort is similar to ours, you will love it. Food was great, and everything on the resort was awesome. I am sure it can be completely different where you are but we went on a dune buggy excursion that was a waste of time. Rode around on dirt roads on a slow dune buggy, not fun. We had a good time para-sailing and snorkeling. There was plenty to do on the beach at our resort (kayaking, paddle-boarding, volleyball, etc) that we kept pretty busy while we were there. The excursions always take longer than you think because someone is late, something doesn't start right, you have a long bus ride to get there, etc. so they end up taking most of a day up. I would only do 2 days of excursions because of that. We enjoyed walking up and down the beach, looking at the different resorts and stuff. We would sometimes walk up to an hour one way just because it was fun seeing everything going on at the beach and looking at the resorts. Have fun!
We did a jungle tour in March when we were in Cancun that was pretty fun. Got to drive ATVs through the jungle, zipline, saw some Mayan ruins and swam/dove in a cenote. We just went to the concierge desk at our resort and they lined everything up, including private transfers to and from the resort.
Go deep sea fishing. Bring dramamine.
It's a ways south of Cancun, but we went to Xel Ha - eco waterpark kinda thing. We stayed at Playa Del Carmen about an hour south of Cancun and this was probably another hour, maybe less. But an easy drive with a one day rental. Ruins of Telum aren't too far away from there either, maybe 15 mins IIRC. I'd guess there may be buses that run down there as well. We also did a ferry across to Cozumel. Ehh. But we went really late in the day and didn't have much time to really get around.
We went to Cancun for our honeymoon and stayed at Now Sapphire. We took a day trip to Garrafon Park and swam with the dolphins, snorkeled, and went on the zip line. Had a great time, especially swimming with the dolphins!! http://www.garrafon.com/park-activities/
Chichen-itza was pretty cool. 2 1/2 hour bus ride for you. But you get to swim here it's amazing isla majerus is a 5 minute ferry ride across from cancun. Love that place. Do a sail with your lady there lay on north beach. It's awesome.
NDSU - BACK 2 BACK 2 BACK National Football Champions! Beat Kansas ST, Kansas & Minnesota 2 times, We hate Iowa and Northern Iowa, but ISU is cool with us. cya in 2014!
It's your honeymoon. Isn't your recreation already lined up???
"If I've told you once, I've told you a million times - don't exaggerate!"
I have a short attention span too. That's why I will never go on a Caribbean vacation. I prefer a driven tour of Europe but that's just me.

We stayed at Playa Del Carmen about an hour south of Cancun and this was probably another hour, maybe less. But an easy drive with a one day rental. I saved a kid from drowning at Xel-Ha. He said he owed me his first born child (He must have been around 20 years old at the time). He didn't know how to swim and decided to go off one of the cliff jumps. Nobody else was wearing life jackets so he didn't either. He threw his down in the water before jumping thinking he would just land on it. The kid sank like a rock and I was next in line so had to dive in after him as there are no lifeguards or anything like that.
Granted this was 10 years ago, but we were on that strip between cancun and playa del carmen as well, we took a bus to playa and wasted a day between walking the shops in central playa del carmen and taking a ferry over to Cozumel and walking around. *edit: Which is worth mentioning, your resort, if it's all inclusive, likely has a concierge that will help you book things, and talk to you about what you like to do. Which reminds me of the other thing we booked thru our concierge, the pirate ship snorkel trip. You boozed between stops, then snorkelled different places. I wear glasses (can't wear contacts) and couldn't get the mask to not leak, so I ended up staying in the boat with the crew feeding me booze...let's just say between the rocking of the ocean, and the amount of booze I put down while everyone else was snorkelling, I didn't have very good 'land legs' when we got back to shore.

"I, Claudius"
I, Claudius was written as if it were the confidential autobiography of Claudius, the fourth emperor of Rome 41-54 A.D. The main caricature Claudius tells of the intrigues of his day and age. The story starts off a bit slow but the story is laying the foundations of the future intrigues of sex, murder and betrayals.
The audio is good quality.
Good book but this is book 3, NO Dominion is book 1, Already Dead is book 2, Every Last Drop book 4, My dead Body is book 5. Staying in order helps with these books.
"Just plain painful"
If you like Woody Allen you will probably LOVE this book. If you don't like Woody Allen's comedy you will not like this book. The book is well written for what it is. The narrator does a very good job with his reading of this book. If you think that Magic Kindom for Sale - Sold! By Terry Brooks is good you will like this book.
"(Good Book) just not for me"
I made it halfway through this book. The narrator is good. The plot is fairly good but the hero stops and whines for prolong periods of time. To a degree this makes sense with the story but is very annoying to me. If you don't like whiny heroes don't get this book. If you enjoy Woody Allen and fantasy this might be a book for you.
"Adult content"
The book Hedda Gabler is listed under Audible Kids. Not really a good book for kids or young teens. You may want to review the book before letting a child or teen go through it. The book has adult content mostly through implied meaning of words and double meaning of words. The book also has a suicide in it. Other then that if you like drama in a story you will more then likely this story. A good little sop opera.
"good book"
The audio of this story is good quality the narrator Doug Bradley does a good job telling the story. The only problem with the story is that the "book" some times goes no rants that get a little to long. I didn't care much for the portions of the book that ranted with graphic violence. This book is a nice adult book that I would recommend it to my friends.
"Good not Great"
Overall the quality of the story is good but the story is slow at times. The story doesn't focus on Attila point of view as much as Romans dealing with the fallout from Attila and other barbarian's action of that time. The plot development is good and as long as a person is not looking for a thrill ride every second I would recommend this book.
"Penguin Island"
The story is a grate book if you know history though you can still enjoy this book if you don?t. This book is a classic.
"Atlas Shrugged"
The story wouldn?t be so bad if she didn?t keep repeating her themes. A good read for philosophy but you only need to read the first part and last part of the book.

To investigate whether there are important sources of heterogeneity between the findings of different clinical trials which administer autologous stem cell treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to evaluate what factors may influence the long-term effects of this treatment.
MEDLINE (1950-January 2011), EMBASE (1974-January 2011), CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library 2011, Issue 1), CINAHL (1982-January 2011), and ongoing trials registers were searched for randomised trials of bone marrow stem cells as treatment for AMI. Hand-searching was used to screen recent, relevant conference proceedings (2005–2010/11). Meta-analyses were conducted using random-effects models and heterogeneity between subgroups was assessed using chi-squared tests. Planned analyses included length of follow-up, timing of cell infusion and dose, patient selection, small trial size effect, methodological quality, loss of follow-up and date of publication. Thirty-three trials with a total of 1,765 participants were included. There was no evidence of bias due to publication or time-lag, methodological quality of included studies, participant drop-out, duration of follow-up or date of the first disclosure of results. However, in long-term follow-ups the treatment seemed more effective when administered at doses greater than 108 cells and to patients with more severe heart dysfunction.
Evaluation of heterogeneity between trials has not identified significant sources of bias in this study. However, clinical differences between trials are likely to exist which should be considered when undertaking future trials.

Many people ask me why we homeschool our children instead of sending them to public school. I answered that question recently in a guest post over at Life as MOM. You might also like to read about that fateful day when the Mayan Indians first caused us to consider homeschooling.
I didn't know you were a Texan! Although we've been homeschooling since the beginning, I started much the same as you did. I read and read and read some more. Really gave me a lot of perspective.
Just recently read a great one: When You Rise Up by RC Sproul Jr. I loved it![Reply]
I have a 3yo and an 18 month old, and my husband and I are planning on a 3rd, but we're not sure about spacing. We don't want the kids to be too far apart. We will be trying homeschooling for our oldests's kindergarten year, with the hopes of continuing on. I realize you never know what God has in store in terms of fertility, timing, etc. Do you think your first attempt at homeschooling would have been more or less difficult if you were taking care of a 1 year old instead of a newborn?? I don't want to set myself up for failure!
Joy Reply:
July 2nd, 2010 at 8:27 pm@CC, I wouldn't say that having a newborn was the main reason my first attempt was such a failure. It was more that I was n't prepared (didn't do any reading ahead of time or speak with anyone who homescholed), I was using the Abeka curriculum (which is very teacher-intesive), and I was homeschooling with the goal of getting my son into the 'higher' class when he went back to school instead of working at his pace. Having a newborn just complicated a situation that was already doomed to failure.
When we pulled the kids out this last time, I was much better prepared. Reading a lot about homeschooling, talking to other homeschool moms, and realizing that I wasn't bound to a particular scope and sequence were the main things that made our second attempt a success.
So I say all that to say that the age of your children doesn't really make it or break it, especially for kindergarten. Have you read my post about homeschooling kindergarteners? http://fivejs.com/how-to-homeschool-your-kindergartener/

July 3rd, 2010 at 5:25 am@Joy, Thanks so much for your response! I have definitely read your post on homeschooling kindergarteners, and LOTS of your other posts. I found your blog during my voracious research phase when I was trying to decide if we want to homeschool. I spent hours reading your archived posts, and continue to check back here often! Your blog is a WONDERFUL resource! Thanks so much for doing it.
My biggest obstacle is waiting until my oldest daughter is ready to start. I've got so many ideas brimming from my teaching classes in college and my current research. But I am waiting until kindergarten age. For the first year I plan on working on the basics in a very relaxed way (as you have discussed), which will help since I'll be taking care of (hopefully) two younger kids!
Joy, there were many reasons we chose to homechool, which I am sure are similar to yours and many other families out there. I just wanted to leave a comment for all to ponder and think about. We lost our son, Ethan, in a tragic accident almost a month ago. A few days after the accident, my husband was talking about the sacrifices I had made for our boys, and how blessed we were to be a homeschool family. He, and many others, have mentioned how much more time we were able to spend together as a family. Precious time that we would have have had if Ethan would have been in public school. God knew what He as doing when He laid the desire to homeschool on my heart. Anyway, just something I wanted others out there to ponder and consider. We do not know the days we have on this earth, and if I could just say from personal experience–hug your kids and love them! Spend all the time that you have, because you can say, "Oh, we will do that tomorrow." But we are not guaranteed tomorrow.

July 3rd, 2010 at 6:16 pm@Shannon, Oh, Shannon, I am SO sorry to hear of your loss. Thank you so much for your testimony and your earnest reminder that we should spend as much time as we can with our kids. I know I sometimes tend to take my family for granted amid the busyness of life. You have definitely given me something to ponder.
May God bless your family and give you comfort in knowing that He is control.

SC woman sues maternity center over baby's death
A Rock Hill woman is suing a Fort Mill maternity center over the death of her baby.
Katherine Wagner is suing the Carolina Community Maternity Center alleging the wrongful death of her baby, Stacy, negligent infliction of emotional duress, unfair and deceptive trade practices, as a well as a "survival" action.
S. Randall Hood, an attorney for the Wagners, said the center was "not able to provide proper care to a mother and child and they shouldn't have attempted to." Hood also said, "Because they did not use the same equipment a doctor would use to monitor a baby's well being, a baby is now dead."
Carolina Community Maternity Center officials and the midwife named in the suit could not be reached for comment.
In September 2013, the state Department of Health and Environmental Control suspended the center's license and that of two midwives who did not consult a physician as required during a difficult birth. The baby arrived at Piedmont Medical Center in Rock Hill "without a heart or respiratory effort" and died after a cesarean section, according to state documents.
The suspension has since been lifted and the center, located near the intersection of Gold Hill and Pleasant roads, is one of five operating in South Carolina, according to DHEC.
The death of the Wagners' baby happened in March 2013.
Katherine Wagner claims the Carolina Community Maternity Center engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices because the center accepted her as a patient knowing she'd already had a premature birth and a miscarriage. According to the Wagners' suit, the center is for women with "uncomplicated pregnancies" and should have realized the center was "unable to provide reasonable medical care to this baby and mother."
The intent to sue also seeks a "survival" action, Hood said, because the "child was viable and suffered in the womb."
According to documents filed in York County court, Katherine Wagner went to the Carolina Community Maternity Center in March of 2013 for a 39-week checkup. That day she experienced "painful" contractions. She was told to "relax, take a walk and eat some food," according to court documents.
When she returned she was taken to a birthing room where the "painful" contractions continued for another hour. According to court documents, a midwife could not detect a fetal heartbeat and Katherine Wagner's husband then took her to a hospital.
In their court filings, the Wagners allege that complications necessitated transfer of mother and baby to "more appropriate health care providers" and that Carolina Community Maternity Center and the midwife "did not do as the law requires."

Let's start the show.
Not the strongest look with which to open. Still, it's a fantastic coat. Let's get this out of the way: Jay, by his own admission, likes to emphasize the hip and butt area, so no, these aren't clothes that every woman is going to want to wear. Personally, we think he should have decided on one element, either the unusual hem or the fluffy/ruffly embellishment. Putting both at the hip was a bit much for one look. Love the collar, though. And love the tailoring and detailing.
Again with the hips. But y'know? We think this one requires a closer look. To our eyes, he rather ingeniously placed those pockets high on the hip, before it gets to its widest part. So yes, it accentuates the hip, but it doesn't make it look any bigger than it is. Again, not every woman is going to want to wear something like this, but frankly, the criteria shouldn't revolve around such concerns on this show. It didn't used to. Or did every woman want to wear Jay McCarroll's clothes (or Chloe's, or Jeffrey's, or Irina's, etc.)?
Love the seaming on this one but yes, it's a little too short.
LOVE the pants, don't love the top, HATE those shoulder pads. We do really love those pants, though. It's a shame. They ALMOST make the look, but those shoulder pads really detract from it.
Okay, yes. Those pants are RIDICULOUS. On the other hand, that wrap is amazing. He keeps doing this: pairing amazing pieces with pieces that detract from it. That's his biggest problem: editing. Anyway, the shrug: love the collar and the sleeves. We think that horizontal slit was one idea too many for one garment though.
Finally a look that we love wholeheartedly. The pants could be fitted a little better but that's the only criticism. We really, really love that vest. Consider this: a vest is about as basic as one article of clothing can be. There are virtually no variations out there for the vest. Jay managed to design a vest that looks unlike any vest we've ever seen before.
That's what makes him, in our opinion, an interesting designer who deserved a shot at winning the big prize. Not one of the designers left in the competition are innovative on the level he is. They all have interesting points of view and produce stylish and well-made clothes, but of the final four, Jay was clearly above the others in terms of doing the interesting and unexpected.

Plethora of Secret World Hands-On Previews
Funcom recently allowed a whole ton of press to get some hands-on time with The Secret World and their previews have been trickling out over the past couple of days. For the most part they were given a chance to create a character, start their experience with the Templar society, head over to Kingsmouth, run the Polaris Instance, and check out some PvP. Each of the writers then picks up on their favorite (or least favorite) aspects and either focuses on that or tries to give an overall feel for how the experience went. I'm not going to go in-depth on all of them, but just pick out the main idea or major tidbit I picked up from the articles. I really enjoyed checking them all out, but it will take a bit of time
- Escapist Magazine – general overview
- IGN.com – skills focused
- Rock Paper Shotgun.com – 1st person walkthrough of experience
- MMORPG.com – good detailed overview
- Massively.com – good overview, only 3 concurrent quests
- Videogamer.com – in-depth on quest mechanics
- Eurogamer.net – walkthrough with some of the downsides
- Zam.com – Players will have to pay attention
- Gamepro.com – items distinctions and the looks of baddies matter
- UK Gamespy- focused on the investigation missions
- G4TV.com – general overview of the experience
For the most part the game received good reviews for the portions they were shown, and many of them mentioned how they actually had to think and work out puzzles. I think this will be an important aspect of this game going forward with how Funcom handles this and almost more importantly how the community handles it.
All I can say after reading all those is when do I *cough* I mean we, get beta access?

I dont know why but i add some rules to my grammar and i can compile and obtain the c code. But when i execute the program it doesnt recognize the new tokens. I have realized that the tokens.h file doesnt contains the new tokens neither. So it is not adding these new tokens. Does anyone know why? Thanks in advanced. N
Re: Problem with tokens.h
Posted By: Terence_Parr Posted On: Friday, April 6, 2001 06:40 PM
Have you recompiled/regenerated the lexer as well? That sounds like the problem. Oh, actually make sure the lexer defines the tokens too.

This Week In Fastpitch (March 15-21, 1999) |
Mississippi's 5-4, 11-inning Southeastern Conference win over Mississippi State on March 19 marked the seventh time this season Ole Miss has won in its last at bat and the sixth time the game-winning run has scored with two outs. Mandy Shklar's three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh tied the game, 4-4 and Kara Chapman drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the eleventh with two outs. Ole Miss went on to sweep the twin bill, winning a more sedate 4-1 decision in the nightcap.
Fresno State coach Margie Wright moved into sole possession of second place on the NCAA's all-time winningest coaches list with an 8-0 win over Oregon State at the KIA Classic in Fullerton on March 18. Two days later, she posted her 700th win at Fresno State, a 2-0 over San Diego State in the championship bracket finals. Overall, Wright is 850-287-3 in 20 seasons overall and 701-207-1 in 14 years at Fresno State and trails only Cal State Fullerton's Judi Garman on the all-time win list. The news wasn't all good for Fresno on March 18. FSU pitcher Amanda Scott's streak of innings pitched without allowing an earned run was stopped at 126 by Texas at the KIA Classic as the Longhorns beat the Bulldogs, 2-1. During the streak, which began with a win over Nebraska in the opening round of the 1998 Women's College World Series, Scott started 18 games and pitched in relief in four others. Georgia may be a factor in this year's SEC race after the Bulldogs swept their SEC-season opening series against Tennessee, winning all four games by one run (3-2, 3-2, 5-4 and 9-8). Ohio State's Cheryl Palaroan stole her 45th base against Long Beach State on March 21, setting a new OSU career record. University of Massachusetts sophomore Carrie Jeffries pitched her first collegiate no-hitter against Western Illinois. Jana Jenkins of Akron University has stolen 19 consecutive bases without being caught. Jenkins, a senior who plays second base, has 82 career steals. Akron senior catcher Kelli Metzger hit two home runs last week to bring her career total to 43. Gulf South Conference teams may not want to play home run derby with the University of Arkansas-Monticello this year. UAM shortstop Julie Bowen homered three times and had seven RBI in a doubleheader sweep of Henderson State while teammate Amber Yadon, who plays first base, also smashed three round-trippers in the twin bill. Two of Yadon's homers came in the same inning. Two Lone Star Conference teams, Texas Woman's University and Texas A&M-Kingsville, battled for the championship of the last week's Blue-Green Invitational hosted by the University of West Florida. Texas A&M-Kingsville defeated Texas Woman's in a thriller that went eight innings with no international tie-breaker. After each team scored a run in the sixth, TAMU-K scored the game-winner with bases loaded and two outs in the Javelinas' eighth. Tiffany Gates' fly ball came out of the glove of TWU's right fielder to score Amanda Sustaita from third. The loss left TWU with a 33-8 overall record, 9-1 in Pensacola, and 13-3 on the San Antonio/Pensacola spring break trip. Prior to a 5-4 10-inning loss to Division I Wisconsin on March 16, Division II Hawaii Pacific had won seven straight games, all shutouts, and hadnÃt given up an earned run in 44 consecutive innings. University of Southern Indiana pitcher Amy Stetler has not allowed a run in her last 29 innings. Wilkes University (PA) won the third annual Salisbury State University Sea Gull Invitational tournament, going 5-0 for the weekend after an 11-5 win over Salisbury State (MA) in the championship game on March 20 that snapped SSU's school record 14-game winning streak. SSU finished second with a 4-1 tournament record and William Paterson (NJ) won the consolation bracket Central College (IA) junior third baseman Donell Hotze batted .538 (7-for-13) in five games at the Emporia State tournament over the weekend, against NCAA Division II competition. Hotze's two-run home run against Regis (CO) accounted for the only runs Regis allowed in three games that day. Hotze also hit four doubles and posted a tournament slugging percentage of 1.076. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CA) pitcher Kristine Zoch was 6-1 with an 0.64 ERA and six shutouts last week. Zoch struck out 86 batters in 54.2 innings. Simpson's (IA) Kelly Schade tied the NCAA Division III record for most victories in a career Sunday afternoon as the Storm defeated St. Mary's (MN) 5-2 at the Simpson Classic in Indianola, Iowa. Schade (15-0) allowed three hits and struck out three as she recorded her 91st career victory. She is now tied with Janice Lemchak (1986-89) who went 91-41 for Kean College. Schade is 91-13 in 112 apperances. Central Alabama Community College pitcher Jennifer Lofton threw two no-hitters last week, one of which was a perfect game. Lofton's 5-0 perfecto over Bevill State (AL) on March 16 was the first seven-inning no-hitter in CACC history. Three days later, Lofton held Gordon College (GA) without a hit in a 9-0, five-inning win. Central is 25-1 overall and Lofton is 12-1 Scottsdale Horizon High School (AZ) continued its winning ways with a 14-2, five-inning win over Scottsdale Desert Mountain. Horizon freshman Caitlin Benyi doubled and homered, driving in two runs and scoring three. |

Link Checks 2/10/2012
Here at The Checking Line - Flyers Edition, we will be giving away a hockey puck signed by legends Bernie Parent and Dave "The Hammer" Schultz. To enter, all you need to do is purchase a $5 raffle ticket. All the proceeds will be donated to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. So, if you want a chance to own a valuable piece of Flyers' history while supporting a great cause, click here for more information.
After losing three consecutive games, the Flyers snapped that streak last night with a 4-3 win vs the Leafs (TCLFlyers). Brayden Schenn, who has hit his stride with the Flyers (CSNPhilly), got the game-winning goal. Him along with Hartnell, who had a Gordie Howe hat trick (YouTube), lifted the Flyers to a victory (CSNPhilly). The Flyers converted on most of their chances, unlike vs the Islanders on Tuesday. However, the Leafs had many chances too, most coming when they were crashing the net. The Flyers need physicality in front of their net (TCLFlyers) in order to cut down opposition's chances. Bobrovsky would appreciate the screens be moved away, too. He will most likely start again Saturday vs the Rangers (Philly.com).
Although the defense struggled to clear bodies away from the crease, Andrej Meszaros pulled his game together (TCLFlyers). He hasn't had a consistent year at all, but looked very solid against the Leafs. One guy who has played consistently just about the whole year is Sean Couturier. Was he the 'steal' of the draft at the #8 pick (TCLFlyers)?
When talking about the Leafs and Flyers, JVR trade rumors will always be discussed. Toronto has certain "do's" and "don'ts" approaching the deadline (RLD Hockey), but will they make a move to acquire James van Riemsdyk? Maybe not, because JVR isn't likely to return for a while, due to lingering concussion symptoms (@BroadStBull). Hopefully they still will be, because the Flyers do need a big-name defenseman to be contenders in the playoffs (SBNation Philly).
Timonen is a big-name defenseman, of course, as he was picked to go to the ASG this year. Him and his teammates traveled in style to get to Ottawa for the game (The 700 Level). Regardless, another physical defenseman is much needed.
A physical player in Laperriere was forced to hang up the skates due to injuries. He has been keeping busy, though, by training for the L.A. Marathon (CSNPhilly).
The Rangers are still atop the Atlantic Division, and the Eastern Conference:
1. | 52 | 73 | 34 | 13 | 5 | |
2. | 54 | 69 | 31 | 16 | 7 | |
3. | 54 | 66 | 31 | 19 | 4 | |
4. | 54 | 65 | 30 | 19 | 5 | |
5. | 53 | 52 | 22 | 23 | 8 |
They gained two more points in a 4-3 OT win vs the Lightning last night (NHL.com). Although the Rangers have been performing outstandingly, one of their top forwards is continuing to struggle (The Hockey Guys).
The Devils only gained one point in a shootout loss against the Blues (In Lou We Trust).
The Islanders were 4-2 losers vs the Canadiens (TCL Isles). Surprisingly, after a year and 3 days - or 56 games - Scott Gomez scored a goal (TCL Habs) on Evgeni Nabokov, who shutout the Flyers two nights ago.

people come from all over the world to seek shelter in western countries on false political asylum...they marry young non Muslim /or Muslim girls abuse them gain the passport then tell them that they were not worth it in the beginning....they then divorce the women saying that shes not a good wife...then go on and marry someone who will stay in there country of or gin n then they enjoy the high life...
Islam as far as i know it does not accept false political asylum because the holy prophet does not accept lies...were are told to be true in contract..IE when attain citizenship in any country...but people abuse it...why do People abuse it knowing perfectly well that it is illegal in Islam to not only use someones daughter n then divorce her but also to give lies to the government!.

thanks brother ahmed,
a few days ago i was speaking to a distant family relative, god knows how the converstaion erupted into guys from pakistan living abroad, she just happen to say well what can pakistanis do they want to get settled in western countries so the only way is to marry a western girl, honestly i felt sick with rage, i really cannot understand why people in the third world countries have no respect for western women, they think that we are cheap and that we would do anything that they ask us to do, they pul all the right strings, as soon as they got you....WHAM! they then use you.
i defiantley understand brother that this happens in all cultures, i do know that, what i cannot undretsnad is the fact that these ppls families think that this is ok for their sons to go ahead and use women for their own pathetic needs...and to think how much they have paid to get in to the country is a quetsion itself!!!!...why cant they work in their own country with all that money?
ppl say that their poor but are they really poor. in my eyes poor is someone who barely has enough to eat or one or no change of clothing...others is that they are not as well off as their relatives so they go to great lenghts.

Isn't Mason Verger the guy from Hannibal who tries to kill Hannibal?
Isn't Mason Verger the guy from Hannibal who tries to kill Hannibal?
This plot in this series isnt following source materials or Hannibal Films, Its using Persons parts of each to develop a new storyline. Question is has Will finally turning into the dark side of His Personality or is it a ruse to fool Hannibal . He shows up for dinner with His own meat , Hannibal asks ' oh veal " , not really trusting Will that its a Human liver . Also the way the way Jack was talking to both of them , seems something is up , but Wills in bed with Margot an see's Himself an Hannibal in the same bed sharing her , almost like He is wants to be Hannibal and is losing His idenity an reality . Jack is more layed back in this episode , why ? usually He hard bark , but this time He seems passive .As for Freddie , on next weeks preview at the end of the episode We see a body on flames going down a ramp ( Manhunter ) an We have been interduced to Mason and Margot Verger and the pigs ( Hannibal ) . Theres only 2 or 3 episodes left , so I guess the Writers are taking parts ( no pun ) from the books an movies but none are in order . Its like a I-pod shuffle. Another thing , when Freddie was snooping in the barn an opened the cooler , and gasps when She see's Will standing there. We wont know till next week what happens Its been over 10 years since I read the book Hannibal , so my memory is a little cobb webbed , Mason Veger background was shady , He earned alot of money in covert missions in South America working with our Goverment , an He had a thing for Child abuse . an yeah why breed pigs , unless for food or someone as food . They changed the Characters from the source material , that We cant guess stuff ...............................Jaw Brecker , yes Mason is the Guy without a face in Hannibal .
In the book (if my memory serves me), Mason Verger trained the pigs to kill people to take revenge on Hannibal. But he only just met Hannibal in this episode, so he must have another reason in mind that's different from the book.
Not sure if I like the path they are taking Will down. I have to believe that it is partly a trap to catch Hannibal, too many fishing and bait references early in the season for it not to be. On the flip side, since we get flashes of Will's thoughts, the darkness is there in him. If it is all a trap to catch Hannibal, it is pretty extreame, I mean most likely Will (or someone else if he has conspirators like Jack) cut up that kid and staged the body. I'm also pretty sure Will ate human, it looked like loins (runs along the spine) to me, not liver.
Of course I agree that Will did not kill Freddie. She is either a temporary prisoner, or has become a willing participant in Will Hannibal trap. If Lounds is willing to help its because also wants to see Abigail's killer caught, but Will may have had to bribe her with exclusive stories/interviews.
Alanna Bloom, totally inconsistant character or expertly manipulated by Hannibal? Probably both in my mind. I think they had her flip flop a little too much.
I'm a little put off by the scene from next week where they showed that burning wheel chair. Being as the only book in the series I read was Red Dragon, I was kind of hoping they would save that for a future season. Though I don't believe it is Freddie in the chair. I do like how they have thrown in the line/phrase "Becoming" which was Francis Dolarhyde's phrase.
Also, I agree with isgrimner. Freaddie is not dead. Will saved her life, as he knew she would be Hannibal's next target.
I disagree that Will ate human though. I don't think he would do that, since it's all just a giant set-up anyway. And if he did, all the power to him. Just shows how dedicated he is...
Mason is so bat-shit crazy, I already love him! I want to see somebody (preferably the stunningly gorgeous Margot) drag him around by his ridiculous hair. I hope Hannibal doesn't cook him too quickly–use a crock pot, Hannibal.
The Hannigram in me wants to say that yes, Will really did kill Freddie and "sliced the Ginger" (hahaha), eating her flesh with Hannibal and turning totally to the dark side so that they can run away together and be the adorable murder husbands they are. But the realist in me quietly admits that Freddie is probably now in on it, Will having had only two choices: kill her or tell her. And really, I think that Will would tell her before he would ever kill her. What I don't get is: Hannibal obviously has a really good idea of what human meat tastes like, and Will should know that. You cannot trick Hannibal's palette. Will even says himself that his own palette is not so sophisticated, so it will be very obvious to Hannibal that the meat Will has given to him is not human. Not Randy's and not Freddie's. Although theoretically, it could be Randy's. That dude had to die because he hurt one of Will's dogs and then threatened Will, so Will killing him was like, no biggie.
Still, after that first bite, Will is not a virgin anymore (figuratively speaking, since I doubt the meat was human). But Did You See The Way Hannibal Was Looking At Him?
Oh, the lovely layers. Where do I start?
What Hannibal said to Will: "You were Randall Teir's final enemy"
What Hannibal was thinking when he said it: 'As you will be mine'
What Hannibal said to Will: "When you killed Randall, did you fantasize you were killing me?" (He can't stop with that question- he's obsessed with the thought.)
What Hannibal was thinking when he said it: 'The same way that you fantasized you were with me when you were with Margot' (well, he thinks that later, anyway)
Now Will knows what it's like to have his kill misinterpreted, which means he knows Hannibal even better now.
Randall: "Come closer. I want to see you."
(As Will wants to see himself. See?)
Will to Randall or vice versa, I forget: "What you feel finally matches the reality of what I see."
Will = Hannibal (also the reflection in the knife was Will = Hannibal)
Whose hand is that on the railing? Has Hannibal been looking down on Will's creation of the Randall display? I assume he watched but did not help because he wanted Will to learn for himself. (Hannibal, you should've taught him how to clean up after himself as well.)
What Hannibal said to Margot: "You failed to murder your brother because you still love him"
What Hannibal was thinking when he said it: 'Just like Will failed to murder me because he still loves me'
Mason is evolving his pigs like Hannibal is evolving Will.
Alana: "People are not instruments." (Hannibal: 'uh.. yeah they are.') "Whatever it is you're playing you have to listen very carefully to what you're creating." Trust us, Alana, he is listening very carefully. And he is playing you like an instrument, that's for sure. He will toss you aside for Will in a heartbeat.
May I point out that Alana is the only one who is happy in this sex scene. She is the only one who's with who she wants to be with. Margot wants to be with another woman. Will wants to be with Alana. Hannibal wants to be with Will. Don't ask me about the Wendigo.
I actually feel sorry for Will because that sex he had with Margot seemed to leave him even sadder than he already is. At the very end, his eyes are open. Longing for Alana, and Margot is leaving his bed. He is alone again.
What Hannibal said to Mason: "I enjoy putting a face to a name."
What Hannibal was thinking when he said it: 'So I know who to kill later'
What Hannibal said to Mason: "I've never seen pigs like this"
What Hannibal was thinking when he said it: 'Meaning you, Mason. Damn, Mason, you crazy for reals!'
Alana to Hannibal & Will: "Neither of you is the killer she's writing about, but together you might be." (Murder husbands, yup.) That scene at the dinner table cracked me up. Alana was like, 'Are you two sleeping together behind my back?' Will was like, 'Maybe we are, maybe we're not. What's it to ya?' And Hannibal was like, 'I'm stayin' the F out of this! Just gonna sniff my wine.')
I wonder if Hannibal ever gets bored sitting around waiting for somebody in his plastic murder suit. And where does he hide his fancy car?
The scene with Freddie in Will's shed = the scene with Beverly in Hannibal's basement.
Hannibal: "Surely Freddie Loundes has more enemies than Will."
Jack: "Not in Wolf trap, Virginia."
The look on Hannibal face, like 'Dammit! I tried…' Same look he gave in the courtroom when the lawyer dissed his theory as ridiculous.
Will to Hannibal: "I provide the ingredients (me). You tell me what we should do with them (mold me).
The porcupine quills make a nice decoration on the dinner plates. (Check out next week's episode when there will be a butterfly on the plate during dinner - a Blue Morpho, I believe.)
Interesting that when Hannibal has dinner with Alana and Will, he sits at the head of the table between them but when he has dinner with Will he sits across from him.
Just want to point out that Wolf Trap Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland are about an hour apart. These two boys do a lot of driving for each other.
fade to Hannigram...
I do think Will brought a piece of someone, not Freddie to eat. Like someone said, Hannibal would know what kind of meat it was. Plus, Will must know he has eaten human beings already from all the times he ate with Hannibal previously. So I don't think it was too far to do it knowingly as part of his plot to make Hannibal think his manipulation is working. I still hate that this entire season is leading up to the the first scene of the first episode. But it has been exciting to see how we are getting there. Absolutely love this show and I hope we hear about a renewal very soon.
Moviefan, I don't think Puss is a he.
Puss - is that renewal time?

Look at those sweet, kissable faces. It's sometimes hard to remember they're magnets for germs…
Any child who has fever or who has diarrhea, or who is sneezing excessively or coughing excessively is a child who is spreading their contagion to other children. So it's really important to keep those children at home even when it's not convenient for families.
The first line of defense against colds flus and other contagious diseases is a strong and healthy body. So make sure both you and your child are getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, exercising on a regular basis and staying current on vaccinations.
Not all viruses will make you sick. Not each time you touch a contaminated surface will you become sick. It depends on the dose you ingest, it depends on your own defenses…so, there are a lot of variables there.
Still, there are a lot of little things you can do to help cut the odds… Teach your child to sneeze or cough into a tissue to reduce the spread of germs by hand-to-hand contact. Make sure they don't share eating utensils or other personal items. And encourage them to wash their ands often and long…singing a song during the process will help. There are also key areas you can target around your home to reduce your risk of spreading an infection: The kitchen is a breeding-ground for germs—especially those nasty kitchen sponges and rags. But don't just launder them—the germs aren't killed by a normal wash cycle. Replace them often or use paper towels or disposable wipes. Next, clean surfaces that people touch a lot—like doorknobs, faucets and countertops. And as always…Wash your hands. Washing up often can go a long way in keeping you from getting sick when your children do bring something home…
See the number going up?

In Niger, as in most of Sub-Saharan Africa, the frequency of drought has increased over the past century, causing famine in the Sahel nation, and massive population displacement. The use of traditional farming and livestock rearing practices in these harsh climatic conditions of water scarcity has led to reduced harvests. Livestock kills and losses in agricultural productivity have damaged the national economy. But there is hope on the horizon.
Nuclear techniques can determine the most efficient ways to use water and fertilizer in agriculture. They are used to help to establish drip irrigation and fertigation systems to enable smallholder farmers with scarce resources to continue farming and achieve profits from high and sustained crop production, while also conserving resources and protecting the environment.
In drip irrigation – the most efficient and cost-effective method of irrigation – water is applied directly to the root of the plant, avoiding evaporation and leakage. Fertigation refers to the application of fertilizer through drip irrigation, and controls the amount of water and nutrients in a plant's root zone. Nuclear techniques can also identify how efficient a plant's water use is, and are used to determine appropriate irrigation schedules and the optimal dosages of water or fertilizer needed for different kinds of plants.
Drip irrigation, coupled with fertigation, could reduce harvest losses and ensure optimal crop yields in the climatic conditions of Niger. The IAEA, through a regional technical cooperation (TC) project, is helping Niger and other Sahel countries to use nuclear technology to best apply these techniques to save water, improve agriculture practices, and better manage soil and water. This means that small scale farmers in Sahel Africa can keep their traditional lifestyle and at the same time be self-sufficient in food and income.
The project is concentrating on enhancing the productivity of high value crops and supporting income generation through the use of small-scale irrigation technologies. Together with Niger, 18 African countries are taking part in the project to develop and pilot test appropriate irrigation systems. An important part of the project is making sure that farmers can learn about and understand the benefits of drip irrigation and adapt the system for their own farmlands. A test site in Kollo, Niger, has been built to carry out comparative trials of both irrigation systems and traditional farming practices. This gives farmers the opportunity to see the tangible benefits of drip irrigation compared to traditional farming methods. At the site, farmers can observe trials of irrigated crops such as sweet pepper, potatoes, onion and corn. The demonstration site is run under the auspices of the Kenyan Agricultural Institute (KARI) and a number of IAEA fellows are being trained there, gaining hands-on experience with efficient agriculture management practices.
Having seen for themselves the difference between crop yields using common agriculture practices and harvests resulting from the use of drip irrigation and fertigation systems at the demonstration farm in Kollo, Niger, many local farmers are now showing their interest and willingness to collaborate with researchers in order to adapt the system to local small-scale farming practices.

Does the country with the world's biggest military, a country $14.3 trillion in debt, really need to spend $23 billion on a new supertank? Apparently so, and the Pentagon announced last week who's going to build it for us.
On Friday, the Pentagon announced that two teams, out of the three competing to build prototypes of a new "ground combat vehicle" (GCV), will receive development contracts. Lucky Winner No. 1 is an alliance between Northrop Grumman (NYS: NOC) and BAE Systems. (Unsurprising. BAE already builds the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the vehicle GCV would replace. )
The second winning bidder is a surprise, being comprised of Lockheed Martin (NYS: LMT) and Raytheon (NYS: RTN) -- two firms better known for aeronautical prowess than for ground combat -- and also General Dynamics (NYS: GD) , arguably the biggest name in armored warfare. The only loser so far is a third team that included SAIC (NYS: SAI) and Boeing (NYS: BA) . As for the winners, each team gets a development contract worth roughly $450 million.
Further down the road, the Pentagon plans to purchase more than 1,800 GCVs from whoever comes up with the best design, paying as much as $13 million per GCV, including spare parts. That's $23.4 billion in all.
What's next?
$23 billion is a pretty big number, but shareholders in the selected companies should not count their winnings just yet. For one thing, the current awards fund only a 24-month "technology development" project. Only after complete designs are submitted would an actual production contract be awarded. Some sources say the whole process could take seven years to complete.
Also, in an era of tight defense budgets, the Pentagon isn't 100% certain it even wants to spend $23 billion on a new armored personnel carrier (APC). Indeed, defense acquisitions head Ashton Carter has instructed the Army to consider alternatives to building a completely new armored mousetrap -- and see if there's something already out there that we might buy instead. For example, rather than build a completely new vehicle, the Army might decide it could get by with a mix of Israeli-designed Namer APCs, General Dynamics Strykers, and BAE Bradleys.
Even if the GCV never gets built, the two key development-contract winners could still come out ahead by offering alternatives to GCV. Heads, General D and BAE win. Tails ... they still can't lose.
Or can they? There's always the possibility that Boeing and SAIC will upset the apple cart by challenging the decision not to award them a contract. Add Boeing and SAIC to your Fool watchlist, and find out if that happens.

In the mainstream media, the blogosphere and just in personal conversation, United States Presidential Elections are an endless source of speculation and opinion. An entire cottage industry has sprouted up, not just in the election year, during the entire political cycle, to discuss ad nauseum the prospects of even minor contenders. I am a big consumer of this type of talk, if not from political concern, from the fact that I like a good horse race.
The problem is, almost everyone can have an opinion, and many of these opinions are built up around far-fetched scenarios. A few days ago on fivethirtyeight, I read someone make a prediction that Mitt Romney would defeat Barack Obama in a 55-45 landslide. This seemed rather improbable to me, so I started to think of ways that the election could be expected to go. From that, I have put together a list of expected events and outcomes in a presidential election. This list is neither exhaustive, nor authoritative. It is, as the title says, a list of parameters. Unexpected things can happen in elections, and (almost) every election has something unique about it. However, this is a list of realistic expectations that someone can have about a United States Presidential Election:
There are many things that could be added or taken away from this list, but I wish to stress again that it is simply a list of probabilities and parameters used to separate the more likely from the less likely scenarios. Perhaps in 2012, Herman Cain will run a campaign as a third party candidate in which he unleashes an October Surprise that manages to gain him a few electoral votes, and deprives both candidates of their majority. The election then goes to the House of Representatives, where despite the fact that Herman Cain only won a single state (Hawaii), he manages to get elected by the House. Such a scenario is not impossible, but it is far from probable. With a few surprises, the election of 2012 will probably play out along lines established by the above parameters.

Polonnaruwa Holidays
Polonnaruwa, the island's medieval capital between the 11th and 13th century, is perhaps the most rewarding of the ancient cities. Flowering principally under three kings over a short period of less than 100 years, it is both historically and geographically compact. The ruins, built alongside a vast and beautiful artificial lake, stand witness to a lavish phase of building, culminating in the sublime Gal Vihara. In its imperial intentions and the brevity of its existence Polonnaruwa may be compared to the great Mughal city of Fatehpur Sikri, near Agra in India. In 1982 it was designated a World Heritage Site.
In 1056 King Vijayabahul defeated the reigning Cholas, setting up his own capital in their principal city, Polonnaruwa. It remained a vibrant centre of Sinhalese culture under his successors, notably Parakramabahu I (1153-1186) who maintained very close ties with India, importing architects and engineers, and Nissankamalla (1187-1196). Polonnaruwa owes much of its glory to the artistic conception of King Parakramabahu I, who planned the whole as an expression of imperial power. Its great artificial lake, which was named Parakrama Samudra (Topa Wewa) after its royal designer, provided cooling breezes through the city, water for irrigation and, at the same time, defence along its entire west flank thanks to 14 km long embankment (bund). After Parakramabahu the kingdom went into terminal decline and the city was finally abandoned in 1288 after the embankment was breached.
The ruins can be split broadly into five groups. Close to the entrance and within the old walls are the Royal Citadel Group to the south and the Quadrangle to the north. The Northern Monuments, which include the magnificent Gal Vihara, are spread out for 3 km north of here. Across the main road from the main site, close to the museum and bund is the small Rest House Group, and, finally, the Southern Group is about 3 km south of town.
The Gal Vihara (Cave of the Spirits of Knowledge) is rightly regarded as one of the Sri Lanka's foremost attractions and has great significance to Buddhists. It forms part of Parakramabahu's monastery, where a Buddha seated on a pedestal under a canopy was carved out of an 8 mhigh rock. On either side of the rock shrine are further vast carvings of a seated Buddha and 14 m recumbent Buddha in Parinirvana.

Spiritual depth in Christ, mature understanding, and effective ministry — these are the ends we pursue. We are driven by our passionate love for God and our neighbor.
The Degrees:
- Pastoral Ministry / Worship Arts / Biblical and Theological Studies / Youth Ministry
- Global Studies
- Sports Ministry
- Biblical and Theological Studies Program
Pastoral Ministry
The Pastoral Ministry major is for those who intend to pursue full-time ministry in the Wesleyan church. This major fulfills all requirements for ordination, and equips students to pastor effectively in a variety of congregational settings.
Pastoral Ministry/Worship Arts Major
The pastoral Ministry Major with an emphasis in Worships Arts equips the student to combine pastoral leadership skills, with a more focused training in Music and the Arts. Special emphasis is placed upon the Biblical and theological foundation for Christian Worship, along with the proper role of the musician in shepherding the church into authentic and culturally contextualized Christian worship. Graduates are prepared for both pastoral and music positions in the church.
Pastoral Ministry/Biblical and Theological Studies
This degree combines the Pastoral Ministries major with extra Biblical and Theological Studies courses to give the pastor a superior knowledge of the Bible. This major fulfills the requirements for ordination in the Wesleyan Church. Due to the critical importance of learning Koine Greek for serious study of the New Testament, only a bachelor of arts is offered for students interested in this degree.
Pastoral Ministries/Youth Ministry
This major equips the pastor to minister effectively to the general congregation and to youth specifically. Students who may pastor in smaller churches which require pastors to have multiple roles would benefit from this degree. This major fulfills the requirements for ordination in the Wesleyan church.
Global Studies
Oklahoma Wesleyan University, in partnership with Voice of the Martyrs, has developed a one-of-a-kind bachelor's degree with its Global Studies Major. This unique intercultural major prepares the student to pursue ministry both domestic and globally among persons of different languages and cultures. Not only will this major develop practical skills to enabled the student to perform effective intercultural ministry, but because of the unique relationship with Voice of the Martyrs, the student will learn about the persecution of the church throughout the centuries. Also, the student will bet trained to work effectively in both restricted and/or hostile nations, in a short of long term capacity.
For information on the OKWU/VOM Mini-Term Program
Sports Ministry
This major equips students for a wide range of ministry involving sports, such as full-time sports ministry or sports team chaplain. This major does not fulfill the requirements for ordination in the Wesleyan church.
Biblical and Theological Studies Program
Offered either as Bachelor of Arts of Bachelor of Science degree, the Biblical and Theological Studies major is designed to enable students to have a thorough working knowledge of the Old and New Testaments and Christian Theology. Additionally, the program is designed for students who do not plan to pursue a ministerial ordination, but desire a career in the service of the Church, such as a secondary education Bible teacher. This major can also serve as a pre-seminary program for those who know that they are going to seminary following graduation. (This program does not fulfill the requirements for ordination in The Wesleyan Church)

According to General Mills, Chiffon Cake is the first really new cake in 100 years. It uses vegetable oil in place of conventional shortening. 1927 - Harry Baker, a Los Angeles insurance agent, is said to have invented the original chiffon cake in 1927. As word spread of this wonderful airy cake, he was continually asked for the recipe. But for two decades he carefully guarded his secret recipe, making his special cake only for the reigning royalty of the silver screen. Baker sold the cake to Hollywood stars and made it for the famous Brown Derby Restaurant. The secret to Baker's light and airy chiffon cake is that the egg whites are beaten separately from the yolks, and it uses vegetable oil instead of butter or conventional shortening.

Possibly but it acts like the DVR is accessing the external HD on a random basis. Under 'normal' use of the external HD, there is virtually no sound but once or twice an hour, it sounds like the HD spins up for a few seconds and stops. I confirmed the spinning sound is the external HD
Thanks for the info. Is there a way to make the internal HD the active device ?
