Two of my colleagues woke up one day a few years back and went to work as per normal. Their mood and spirits were 'normal'. Nothing seemed untoward. By the end of the day they were both dead. They and I were in our mid twenties. Devastating it was. The emotional impact brought feelings and questions to my mind that I had not asked since childhood. This loss was the first of many over the past 20 years.
In reaching into my deepest rationale I finally concluded the immutable laws of physics and some as yet unknown laws of mental processing simply work away toward these outcomes with objective indifference. These processes just beaver away without regard for morals, good, evil, right, wrong. They assured that no matter what my friends 'reasoned' that this particular day would bring, they would not survive it to see another dawn. They were destined to hit the ground at 500kts in the dark of the night in a jet aircraft because some 'laws', both known and unknown, ordained it. Back to oblivion in an instant and neither knew it was coming. These laws conspired to take them regardless of what plans they had 'in mind' for the rest of their lives. What they had 'in mind' did not matter.
I figured if their best rationale could not lead them to predict the actual truth of this single tragic event; then what makes any of us so certain that anything we predict 'with reason' is somehow representative of the objective truth?
For my buddies it seemed that reason could only lead them to their personal predictions of truth. On this prediction they proceeded, yet they were wrong, deadly wrong.
I decided that all of my own reason and logic must also carry this fundamental flaw in its predictive powers. I concluded that the average person doesn't experience tragedy often enough to see this flaw in his/her logical predictions for the day. Little errors and mistakes throughout the day don't add up to traumas that threaten most people's entire personal logic system. Therefore the average person gets to think he is 'right' even though he cannot ever be.
For me though, a slide into solipsism has been unavoidable. I am not 'down' about it, it has simply been the only rational way to proceed. I couldn't help but wonder though, is this biblical 'false prophet' that takes a position of power to lead all men, a metaphor for the logical judgments of the mind itself?
I'm interested in any thoughts on this.

Dear lord , do you see those numbers ? Are u insane ?

Of course Gasol's legacy change is significant. It proves that Kobe can take an all-star caliber big man and make him a HoF. What does Wade have to do with anything? Wade hasn't done that.
The fact he got outplayed by Dirk in that series doesn't mean he didn't play well in 5 year span .Imagine if KG had a better player in his team like kobe did .Kg had to do everything for that team .Score,Rebound,Defend,Assist .
His WS are insane .
He couldn't win a series alone .
I'll wait for you to respond to my other post.
which one , you want me to admit he was outplayed by dirk ,yes he did !
Have a look at mavs roster in that season and compare that to twolves roster .
Now i'm asking you , KG played bad in playoffs from 98-03 ?
|Sponsored Links
In the next year he got outplayed by Shaq and Kobe and lost in the first round. Because he got some arbitrary raw numbers you want me to throw that out and say he was good for 6 seasons? Does that seem reasonable at all? I beg you to keep researching that stretch. In particular EACH AND EVERY close out game where he was ******** his pants in epic proportions. Every season. For 6 seasons.
and btw is a team game ,and garnett was the team alone in each of those years .
And finally he was getting TORCHED BY DIRK EVERY GAME. EVERY GAME. How can you say that's not a bad series when the #1 option gets massively outplayed by the other #1 option OF THE SAME POSITION?
You conceded he got outplayed. You are harping on one series in SIX SEASONS as an excuse. One series does not overcome the disasterous performances as a #1 option in the other 5 seasons. He was bad from 98-03 and your ONE example is hardly proof to the contrary.
You continue to talk about the series he got outplayed by dirk ,come on man if you watch basketball you know the role of the supporting cast , it's not easy doing everything alone .
If you think you are wining anything you are dead wrong .I'm saying KG played well in playoffs in that span and that's the truth .
He was the main focus of opposite defense , he got double/triple teamed all the time ,and still put up great numbers .
Of course Dirk outplayed him , he had great players supporting him , he wasn't the only focus by twolves defense .
You also CONTINUE to ignore the fact that we're talking about a 6 year span of time.
You're basically saying "yeah he got outplayed but look at these stats from two seasons. I think that means he played great for 6 seasons!" Do you even realize how much of a stretch of logic that is? It's ridiculous.

POINT PLEASANT — The lake at Krodel Park came alive Saturday, as the inaugural Dragon Boat Festival got into full swing with boat races, spectators, vendors and awards.
The event, the first of its kind in Point Pleasant, was held as a fundraiser for Point Pleasant River Museum. Museum director Jack Fowler said he was very pleased with the way things turned out.
"We felt really good about the event and the success," said Fowler, "I've already had two companies contact me about sponsoring boats next year."
The races ended with a photo finish between City Ice & Fuel's team, the Dragon Slayers, who won with a time of 1.07.2 minutes, and AEP River Division's Mighty Mariners at 1.07.68. Ingram Barge Company's Misfits came in third, and the honorable mention for fourth place went to M&G Polymers' River Warriors. Other teams participating were as follows: the Ohio Valley Bank Fury; City Ice & Fuel Twin River Dragons; Amherst-Madison Supply Long Oars; the People's Bank Thundering Greeks (from Marshall University); Farmer's Bank Dragon Boat Slayers.
Other awards were as follows: best team area, the Farmer's Bank Dragon Boat Slayers; best-dressed drummer, Angie Linicome with the Twin River Dragons; most spirit, the OVB Fury.
Fowler said he was glad that the event showed such cooperation from the local community.
"I'm grateful for all the event volunteers, and the sponsors, AEP River Transportation, Amherst-Madison Supply, and Ingram Barge Company. I was impressed by the fact that there was no trash, no clean-up necessary after everybody left. It's great that they think that much of the place."
Fowler said that city employees — police chief Joe Veith, mayor Brian Billings, fire chief Jeremy Bryant— as well as the sheriff department and the state police, all helped things run smoothly on the day.
"They put the plan together for parking, etc., and it was flawless," said Fowler.
"The thing that impressed me most was that people had smiles on their faces — they were enjoying themselves," Fowler said.

Comments about Dimension Steerer Extender:
I converted my mountain bike for a road tour (weird, I know, but stick with me) and used this stem extension to create a higher steerer for fitting butterfly handlebars. I obviously wouldn't use it for downhill mountain biking, but it clamped tight and secure and I had no problem with it at all for many days. The vertical screw that adjust the tension of the fork is inside the lower part, so the top cap is only a dustcap. That allows you to clamp a stem at any height of the extension tube without the use of spacers, which i found convenient for fitting the bike. An added bonus is that it's inexpensive.
Comments about Dimension Steerer Extender:
Not a great product. If you are looking to raise your bars, this isn't going to help you. A combination of riser bars and an angled stem seem to be a better option.

The Last Word: Celebrating the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Poetry and Prose
I accept this [Nobel] award with an abiding faith in America and an audacious faith in the future of mankind. I refuse to accept the idea that the "isness" of man's present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching out for the "oughtness" that forever confronts him.
-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Schyleen Qualls is an accomplished actress whose dramatic presentation titled "The Last Word" is meant to inspire and uplift. Her one-woman show combines the poetry of African-American writers, such as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou, with personal narratives to create a unique and entertaining collage of life in America. Qualls's readings emphasize positive self-images for people of all cultures and encourage the exploration of the richness and diversity of American culture. According to Qualls, her work strives to make her audience more "knowledgeable and openminded world citizens."
Qualls also requests that the audience consider the question, "What are some of the major events in our lives that have helped to shape our various personal world views?" She will address this question in the context of the life of Dr. King, as well as relate it to the impact on our lives of the film Amistad (1997), Qualls recommends that as many individuals as possible see the film.
Performances by Qualls have been well received at many of the nation's leading colleges and universities, including at Harvard University where she received the University Foundation's Award for her "outstanding contributions to performing arts and to race and intercultural relations in America."
A native of Denver, Colorado, Qualls has taken her performance to over thirty countries and was a member of the United States delegation to the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture held in Lagos, Nigeria. She was a feature performer with the Reverend Jesse Jackson during his 1988 presidential campaign and the same year was a performer in a Rainbow Coalition delegation to East Germany led by the Apollo XIV astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell. She is the cofounder of the Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble and has toured Europe, Africa, Latin America, Australia, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific in that capacity. Qualls also performed at the Fourth United Nations Conference on Women in Beijing, China.
Please join your friends at the Athenaeum to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a memorable performance by poet-teller Schyleen Qualls.
Critical Issues in Contemporary Politics
As the rising costs and need for medical attention in America continue unabated despite attempts to end the crisis, the phoenix of health care once again begins to rise from its ashes to haunt another presidential election. Recently, a familiar name has been attached to the health care discussion. Michael Dukakis, after the election campaign of 1988, has been dedicated to research and instruction on this important issue. Born in Massachusetts in 1933 to Greek immigrants, Dukakis was educated at Swarthmore and Harvard Law School. He served four terms in the Massachusetts State Legislature. After the legislature, Dukakis was elected governor of Massachusetts an unprecedented three times and in 1986 was named by his fellow governors the most effective governor in the nation.
Since June 1991, Dukakis has been a professor of political science at Northeastern University. He has also taught in the senior executive program for State and Local Managers at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, at Florida Atlantic University, and in the School of Public Policy at UCLA. His research has been focused on national health care reform in the context of state reform initiatives. Dukakis has published articles on that subject in Compensation and Benefits Management, Journal of American Health Policy, Yale Law and Policy Review, and New England Journal of Medicine.
The College Democrats and the Athenaeum welcome you to Join an evening of discussion with one of this country's most respected political leaders.
Freedom of the Press in Hong Kong: Before and After 1997
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1998 12:15 p.m.
The year 1997 will be remembered as a historic year in Sino-British relations, as China regained sovereignty over Hong Kong. Under the terms of the transfer agreement, the Sino-British Joint Declaration, Hong Kong was incorporated as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. While economic continuity has been assured by the Chinese government, civil liberties, including freedom of the press, have entered a period of transition.
Continuing its year-long series of speakers on the status of Hong Kong, the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is proud to host a presentation by Dr. Kenneth Wai-Yin Leung, senior lecturer in the Department of journalism and Communication and director of the Office of International Studies Programs at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Leung, a leading expert on the role of the media in Hong Kong and China, received his doctorate in international communication and research methods from the University of Minnesota and has published informative and insightful works of scholarship which address freedom of the press and self-censorship by the Hong Kong Press since the joint declaration came into effect.
A buffet lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. Dr. Leung will speak at 12:15 p.m. You are welcome to join the Athenaeum for the opportunity to meet and discuss the critical issue of freedom of the press with this distinguished guest of the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.
The Courage to Compete
"If you ask me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud. "
-Emil Zola
Mariah Burton Nelson started swimming at age three and lettered in five sports in high school. At Stanford, she was the top scorer on the basketball team, averaging 19 points per game. To this day she holds the Stanford record for rebounds per game. She continued with basketball during a professional career in Europe and the United States, and in recent years she returned to swimming. Her main event is the 1650-yard freestyle, and her time is in the top five nationally for her age group.
After her professional sports career Nelson decided she wanted to become a writer and, following a common adage, she decided to write about what she knows. Her bestselling book The Stronger Women Get, the More Men Love Football: Sexism and the American Culture of Sports (1995) links gender-based pay and scholarship inequity with male violence and male domination in sports and in society at large. She also argues that formerly competitive coed sports have been replaced with sex-segregated sports after women began to win against male competitors.
Her soon-to-be-released book, Embracing Victory: Life Lessons in Competition and Compassion (1999), seeks to persuade women how rewarding competition can be when done in the right way. She argues that women, like men, need to compete in order to thrive in society. However, the form of competition she envisions differs from the aggressive male or "conqueror" model that focuses on winning, and also from the traditional female or "cheerleader" model, in which women compete on the sidelines. Instead, Nelson urges women to embrace what she terms the "champion" model, which is marked by compassion and integrity.
Nelson has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Ms., Glamour, and Cosmopolitan. She has appeared on Good Morning America, Today, Phil Donahue, Larry King Live, Dateline, and Prime Time Live.
Ms. Nelson's talk is the first in a series of presentations entitled Women Leaders: Meeting Challenges, Making Changes, sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute.

His professional responsibilities are to manage and direct activities of the company involving the identification of current and future environmental issues, legislation, and trends; to develop integrated environmental quality improvement plans; and to recommend policy for corporate action.
Hertel is responsible for contacts with a number of environmental agencies, among them the Environmental Protection Agency, the California Coastal Commission, and the California Air Resources Board. He is also active in many professional and community affiliations dedicated to the improvement of California's environmental quality system.
Hertel is a graduate of San Jose State College where he received his B.A. in international relations. He earned his M.A. in American government and international relations and his Ph.D. in government from Claremont Graduate University.
You are cordially invited to an evening discussion with an expert in the field of environmental regulation and management for the state of California.
"Tru" Confessions
In the late 1980s George Plimpton composed a short story that combined Hemingway's style and Truman Capote's sensibility. The parody was based on the premise that Capote had adopted Hemingway's style to break the writer's block he was experiencing finishing his Proustian epic, Answered Prayers: The Unfinished Novel (1989). Capote was not amused, and though Plimpton wrote a letter of apology, the two never spoke again. (Capote told acquaintances that Plimpton "had scratched at his door for forgiveness.") Plimpton has now published a startling oral biography of the controversial author of In Cold Blood (1966) entitled: Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances, and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career (1997). Drawing on the recollections of such figures as Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, William F. Buckley, and himself, Plimpton creates a complex portrait of one of the originators of the "non-fiction novel," and one of the most infamous characters of the contemporary literary scene.
Plimpton is one of the founding figures of the New Journalism (participatory journalism). His stints playing for the New York Yankees and the Detroit Lions became the basis for Out of My League (1961) and Paper Lion (1966). (Hemingway called Plimpton's Yankees gig "the dark side of the moon for Walter Mitty.") His forays into boxing and friendship with Muhammad Ali are recounted in Shadow Box (1977) and in the documentary When We Were Kings (1996). One of the most accomplished American sportswriters, Plimpton has also edited The Norton Black of Sports (1992). His previous biographies include Edie: An American Biography (1982) and American Journey: The Times of Robert F. Kennedy (1970).
A graduate of Harvard and Cambridge Universities, Plimpton founded the renowned literary quarterly The Paris Review, of which he is still editor. In addition to his work as an editor and writer, Plimpton has appeared recently in several films, including Nixon (1995)and Good Will Hunting (1997). He is the fireworks commissioner of New York City.
Neurology and the Soul
The story told by Oliver Sacks in his 1973 book Awakenings is a tale straight out of Rip Van Winkle (1822) but more gripping for an astonishing reason: it's true. In 1969 eighty survivors of a 1920s sleeping sickness epidemic were found warehoused in a New York hospital. The disease hadn't killed them; it had frozen them in a decades-long, trancelike state. Sacks, then a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, became aware of these patients and gave them the new drug L-dopa. To the neurologist's amazement, the drug "woke up" the patients within weeks; however, the effects soon faded or disappeared. Awakenings chronicles the patients' reactions to regained awareness, and their struggles to account for lost lifetimes. It was adapted for a 1991 movie, starring Robin Williams as Dr. Sacks.
Sacks came to the United States in 1960 after his childhood in London and education at Oxford and has made his home here. He completed his internship in San Francisco in 1962, and did his residency in neurology at UCLA from 1962-65. In 1965 he accepted the position as a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Soon after this appointment he had his first meeting with the patients chronicled in Awakenings.
As a physician and writer, Sacks's goal is to humanize medicine and to recognize the link between body and soul. In 1970 he published his first book Migraine, in which he explored the neuropsychiatric components of migraine headaches. Awakenings was his second book and was hailed by critics as "a masterpiece." Sacks recounted his experiences during a mountaineering accident in A Leg to Stand On (1984). His most recent bestseller, An Anthropologist on Mars: Seven Paradoxical Tales (1995), prompted The New York Times to say, "[He] is a most unusual man, as much a metaphysician as a physician, a sort of Isaac Bashevis Singer of the hospital ward."
In 1989 Sacks was the recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship for his work on the neurological disorder Tourette's syndrome.
The Athenaeum is honored to host Professor Sacks. With support from the Gould Center and in cooperation with CMC's chapter of PBK, this lecture continues the series Questions of Civilization. Reservations for dinner are for CMC persons only. The lecture at 6:45 p.m. is open to all without prior reservations.
Poet Reads from Her Work
Arienne Rich is one of the most highly acclaimed poets of the century. Her poetry is well known for its unique blend of public and personal, artistic and political. Her indomitable voice champions the causes of the underrepresented, isolated, marginalized, and invisible-in short, the oppressed. Her commitment to the integrity of her muse became a matter of public speculation last July when she declined the National Medal for the Arts claiming, "My concern for my country is inextricable from my concern as an artist. I could not participate in a ritual that would feel so hypocritical to me."
Her life as a poet has been long and distinguished ever since she won the Yale Younger Poets Award at the age of twenty-one. Since that award and the publication of her first book, she has been awarded the Tanning Award for Mastery in the Art of Poetry, the National Book Award, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the Common Wealth Award in Literature, a MacArthur Fellowship, and two Guggenheims. Rich is the author of more than fifteen volumes of poetry, including Driving into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972 (1973), The Dream of a Common Language 1974-1977 (1978), The Fact of a Doorframe: Poems Selected and New 1950-1984 (1994), Time 's Power: Poems 1985-1988 (1989), An Atlas of a Difficult World: Poems 1988-1991 (1995), and Dark Fields of the Republic: Poems 1991-1995 (1995). She has also authored four books of nonfiction prose, including Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience (1977) and Institution and What is Found There: Notebooks on Poetry and Politics (1993).
This evening of poetry by Adrienne Rich is jointly sponsored by the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and the Department of English at Claremont Graduate University, to inaugurate its M.A. degree in literature and creative writing.
China and the U.S.: A Relationship Marked by Misperception
Sino-American relations have been characterized by wide swings between friendship and hostility. What accounts for the apparent high degree of emotionalism that influences U.S. attitudes and policy toward China? Where does the relationship between these major powers now stand and what are the problems and promises for the future? Ambassador Burton Levin, Freeman Foundation Visiting Scholar in Asian Affairs, will be joining the Athenaeum to address these important issues in Sino-American relations in a lecture sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Affairs.
Ambassador Levin, a former foreign service officer, has held numerous high-ranking diplomatic appointments in Asia, including director of the Office of Taiwan Affairs, Deputy Chief of Mission in Thailand, Consul General in Hong Kong, and ambassador to Burma. Trained as a Chinese-language and Chinese-area specialist, Levin is widely considered a premier expert on Sino-American relations. Currently a director of the Mansfield Foundation and a member of the Council for the Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies, Ambassador Levin has joined the CMC faculty for the spring semester to teach a special seminar entitled Topics in U.S. Relations with Asia.
Please join the Athenaeum and the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies for what should be an Interesting and informative discussion with this distinguished scholar.

Corrugated Aluminum and Concrete Contrast
By adding corrugated aluminum under the roof line, the building naturally draws the eye upward. This apartment building for college students combines three materials in one glance, metal, stone and concrete. The brown of the stone composite siding warms the building and keeps it from looking too harsh.

boardsBamboo Core
Our lightweight poplar core combined with 2 bamboo stringers in the center also covering the insert area gives the board a very poppy feeling. Another benefit is the added strenght and a more stiffer feeling but without loosing the liveliness of the board.
Basalt fibers are stronger then regular fiberglass with the same weight. This means we can build lighter boards with better flex properties. Basalt fibers are not as rigid as Carbon fibers, this means the board breaks not that easy! Basalt features 2 stringers on top & 2 on the bottom for our most responsive flex pattern.
Camba is Head's traditional camber profile. The board is convex from the tip and tail contact points to an apex in the center of the board, which delivers optimum power transfer for pop and intense manouverability and grip.
A hyper-reactive, lightweight poplar core that is indestructible.
Head extruded bases are fast and durable as well as easy to maintain.
Flocka delivers the best of both worlds, with the precision and predictability of camber and the playfulness of and "catch-free" ride of rocker. In short Flocka has a broken in feel but with the solid pop of a new stick.
Our all new Framewall has a higher sidewall working as a torsion frame that adds extra stiffness and control to the board. The Framewall also helps your board to absorb smaller shockwaves: The profile of the Framewall creates a continious pressure over the whole edge.
Hammerhead Tip and Tail is our tribute to the past. It features a larger surface area in the tip and tail for more control when landing. Also this greater surface area better distributes power in takeoffs. As a weight-saving measure Head cut into the tip and tail giving the board a unique, retro style.
The Hybrid Camba DCT shape is a evolution of our classic CAMBA shape. The DCT shape of our Hybrid Camba line has Camba under the bindings and a flat part between the bindings combined with a more narrow waist and a more aggressive sidecut in this area for sharpe turns and quicker initiation of rotation during the take off on big kickers. The pop loaded camber starts just inside of the binding area and goes all the way to the conact points in tip & tail.
Intellifibers are piezoelectric fibers that absorb energy from edge-to-edge turns and stiffen up to give more control and power to the board.
KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) is a system we've adapted straight from Formula 1 to harvest kinetic energy produced during edge-to-edge transferred to electric energy via piezoelectric fibres and stored in the KERS chip. This is then fed it back to you when you ollie or power carve. The upshot is you'll be fired out of turns and get insane pop off transitions.

South African U19 coach Eugene Eloff has been offered the Lions coaching job in place of Frans Ludeke.
This is the decision taken by the Golden Lions board following a mammoth meeting at Lions HQ last night. It is not yet confirmed that Eloff will accept the proposal, but he is definitely considering the offer.
Eloff is currently in talks with Lions bosses at Ellis Park as they attempt to thrash out an agreement. However, Corrie Pypers – former Transvaal captain (1978 -1980), current chairman of the Lions' Old Boys Trust and close friend of Eloff – says Loffie will not take the job if Ludeke is still involved in the union in any way.
Ludeke is apparently pencilled in as the new GLRU Director of Coaching, which would effectively make him Eloff's boss. "There is no way Loffie will work with Frans as his boss. I just don't see that happening," Pypers told keo.co.za.
"He will only accept the position if certain non-negotiables are taken care of. The Lions need to meet his demands or he will not take the job, it's as simple as that." Those non-negotiables include being able to appoint his own assistants and management team as well as being in control of contracting players for the team.
Eloff is known to favour former Springbok lock Ian MacDonald as his right hand man. The Lions may be in a sticky situation. If they are serious about appointing Eloff, Ludeke is the obvious sacrifice. But it is a sacrifice that could cost the union as much as R7-million. Ludeke is sure to demand a payout of his five-year contract if he is dismissed.
Whether the Lions can afford to pay that kind of money is highly unlikely and a complete waste anyway. The men that need to answer for that are CEO Andy Turner and president Jannie Ferreira. That they allowed Ludeke to sign a five-year deal without having produced any results is, well…ludicrous.
Keo.co.za will bring you the outcome of the talks between the Lions and Eloff later today.

MW102 - Dressed Low Casserole -Open BoxNow: $120.00
Compare: $160.00
Available options may differ from photo.
Design by Marcel Wanders, 2012.
By Alessi.
Alessi and Dutch designer Marcel Wanders have teamed up to present this stunning set of aluminum cookware with non-stick coating. While traditional rules would require that decoration be applied in the most important and visible areas of an object, Wanders applies it to more secluded areas, a little out of sight sometimes in areas that aren't normally visible at all. In this way, he creates a clever balance between modern minimalism and ornate Baroque style, achieving a certain level of refined elegance and lightness.
Alessi's MW102 - Dressed Low Casserole is made of aluminum with a magnetic steel bottom that is suitable for induction cooking. The handles are made of stainless steel with relief decoration underneath. Available in two sizes. Optional Lid sold separately.
"...Today I have a helping hand, I'm helped by knights in shiny armor. Perfectly handy and charmingly beautiful they cook, they bake, they collect my sheer inspired culinary genius..." — Marcel Wanders
Material(s): Aluminum, stainless steel
- Size 24: 9.5" Dia X 3.25" H; 2 qt. 18 oz. capacity
- Size 28: 11" Dia X 3.5" H; 4 qt. 7.5 oz. capacity
Designer: Marcel Wanders
Marcel Wanders grew up in Boxtel, the Netherlands, and graduated cum laude from the School of the Arts Arnhem in 1988. Marcel Wanders' fame started with his iconic Knotted Chair, which he produced for Droog Design in 1996. He is now ubiquitous, designing for the biggest European contemporary design manufacturers like B&B Italia, Bisazza, Poliform, Moroso, Flos, Boffi, Cappellini, Droog Design and Moooi of which he is also art director and co-owner. Founded in 2000, Moooi has grown into an internationally renowned design label. Additionally, Marcel Wanders works on architectural and interior design projects and recently turned his hand to consumer home appliances.
Marcel was the editor of the International Design Yearbook 2005. In the same year, together with chef Peter Lute, he established the extraordinary LUTE SUITES hospitality-concept, the first "all over city suites" hotel in the world. He also designed the interior of Blits, a new restaurant in Rotterdam and the interior of restaurant "Thor" at the Hotel on Rivington in New York including bar, lounge and private club. Marcel is the first and among the most important designers of Droog design. He was a juror for various prizes like the Rotterdam Design Prize (for which his own products were nominated several times) and the Kho Liang Ie prize. He lectured at SFMoMA, Limn, the Design Academy, Nike, IDFA, FutureDesignDays and has taught at various design academies in the Netherlands and abroad.

Manufacturer: Alessi
Alessi. Art and Poetry.
Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." — Alberto AlessiView other products from Alessi

FT-iZ Hybrids
Product Overview
Callaway Engineers want to give golfers all the accuracy, versatility and distance they could want, so they put advanced Fusion Technology into the Callaway FT-iZ hybrid. All told, it's the most forgiving design for a hybrid ever.

- Get more stability from a bigger, high MOI clubhead to increase performance and accuracy.
- More distance and consistency comes from the VFT® Technology that increases ball speeds across the whole face.

Argh, well, CLICK here, not lick here. Typo, but I didn't see any edit button either so that's just unfair I say. :|
I remember reading this 5 apps aarticle a little while ago, and remember telling myself no need to bookmark it as I can just search the keyword (tcpview) and it'll likiely find this article for me. Sure enough the search did, but all I get is this one for tcpview in the image gallery, and where I"m used to seeing "lick here fo rthe 5 apps blog version", that isn't here. This image galleries method of presenting info is just terrible. Unfortunatley I've seen many signs of poor design and even have seen actual article writers comment IN THEIR OWN ARTICLE on how they are unable to do something due to the limtiations of the content input system. Bottom line, either TR has a money problem hence why they don't invest in improving this web experience or they're just unaware of how poor we are finding this site to be. It's not the worse site ever, but there are multiple signs I've seen over th epast few years that all add up to a lack of attention to your web presence.
I must be a dummie ; i don't understand anything about these important apps.. i'd better go to sleep.
Really annoying having to click on each picture and then wait for a load of other unrelated stuff to load up. I used to really like Tech Republic but these days, although the articles are often interesting, I just can't be bothered to wade through all the bloat to get to it
I agree, I;d rather see an article and a list of the apps with URLs linking to heir download sites. The slideshow format adds nothing, and in fact, makes it more difficult to peruse the content.
TR doesn't listen to it's readers!! These comments have been posted many, many times before and yet nothing changes. Arrogance or ignorance .... take your pick!!!
FYI: even Rookies visit this site, so it aint ol bwt u nerds.
While agreeing with all of the above was there anything interesting / informative or NEW for the kind of visitors that come to this site and their skill levels ?
I could have sworn I signed up for something other than a remedial reading class. It would seem that viewers who have a reading speed > 60 words per minute are penalized with the slide show. Is there an option to receive notification that will take me to a text presentation instead of the Romper Room?
I am a tech for the last 10 yrs. I appreciate the news and articles that TR has provided. I am too busy to read a stack of trade magazines and I want to keep abreast of new technologies. If I need more in depth info on something particular....like one of these apps described here...at least I know it exists and I can continue my research on it. Thanks TR - for being there! You really are most appreciated!!
#MoMoCopenhagen #cloud #azure these apps are not for amateurs, but for IT professionals who want to know the gory details of what is being sent in and out of your network, etc. this is a gold mine of tools in portable versions! More articles on this topic, please: "security on-a-stick" #office-on-a-stick", "productivity tools on-a-stick" Mobile Monday Denmark
If the initial presentation were the only option I would agree with you guys, but if you click on the link immediately under "Introduction" at the beginning of the article you can view the whole article on one page. Then you can use the wheel on your mouse to view all of the free information! Of course you will have to invest a few clicks if you want to download the free aps.
A couple of months ago they started adding blog links at the top of the presentation for those of us who prefer one contiguous story instead of a series of pictures with short explanations. So now, I just click on the link and my frown goes away. ;-)
That link to the blog view of the article should probably be up by the heading of the article. I myself prefer the blog view but as my son like to tell me, I am old. My son prefers the screen shots so he can quickly determine if this is worth reading quickly.
Vamos a dedicarle tiempo.
I've been doing some PHP at work but didn't want to install the full suite on my home PC - EasyPHP is a nice alternative!
This is just netstat in a GUI window. I suppose it's something that it automatically updates. I like "Show Traffic", but that requires WinPcap. It would be nice if there was something that could just show basic traffic stats (and maybe captures) that doesn't require driver install so I could have more information than verbal descriptions by non-techies.
agreed .. ditch the slides.
Yep, the slide show is stupid. And the 5th recommendation, EasyPHP, doesn't fit. It's dumb to include it here. It often seems like these TR articles are written by spam bots.
How is this any different from the tool that's built into all Windows systems--netstat? I see no value in carrying around netstat in my pocket.
I logged on just to comment that there seemed to be no direct delivery of the content from the email link. And a few IE object errors.
Click "View in Blog" Duh!! Saves you those precious 4 minutes... :)
The slideshows (if that is what they are) are just a pain and so s-l-o-w so I opt for the view as a blog option, which takes a fraction of the time to read. TR is becoming like the trend for flash intros on websites and those sites that you look for information on that has it hidden somewhere amongst the adverts for crapware and toolbars. Tedious. Come on TR. Isn't a republic for the people, by the people of the people? Shape-up or you will loose the people.
Very nice, clicking on the link for ConnectionMonitoring, Mcafee SiteAdvisor display a pretty big Red X with the word.... When we visited this site, we found it exhibited one or more risky behaviors. I understand some tools can be falsely detected for their behavior but a whole website.
It is a pain. Too many sites think it's coool, but a regular column is a lot easir and faster for readers. Save the slide shows for powerpoint presentations
Making this article into a slideshow makes about as much sense as putting oatmeal in a squeeze bottle
Worst is their recommendations are full of adware!
I dont know what happened to TR. They seem to be getting held by technology so much that they are too lazy to write up a nice article?. You are supposed to embrace technology in an interesting way so your readers keep coming back for more. I do not see that happening. I stopped reading TR annoying articles for a long time now. I still get emails about them, thus, this is why I'm here reading replying and, it will be my last post. Either hire better people to write your articles or find another niche. And Yes, the slideshow is annoying.
Tech Republic is getting less and less usable and more add rich which as far a I am concerned worthless.
I do not know what the fascination people on the Internet have with using slideshows like this in place of actually writing an informative article to convey some useful information. The screenshots really add very little to the information and only serve to slow the whole process down. Instead of an article that can be read in less than a minute, I get to spend 5+ minutes clicking through useless screenshots of useless information just so I can read the one paragraph blurb at the bottom that will actually tell me something about the application you are advocating. The only possible explanation I see for using these slideshows is to force your reader to click and refresh the page numerous times to drive advertising. Again, extremely annoying, and I will not participate in this blatant attempt to drive revenues through annoying your readership.
But totally fail to comprehend that you have an option to the Blog Entry as shown here. NOTE: If you'd prefer to view this information as a blog post, check out this entry in our Five Apps blog. The Bold Text is a link tot he Blog Entry which isn't a Slide Show but as you fail to see that link I will suggest to the Powers That Be, that they stop providing Blog Entries as most people are only too happy to complain bitterly and are completely unable to open their eyes and read the very first line. Col :0

For as far back as I can remember, if there is a blog entry corresponding to the slide show, there has been a link to the blog entry. It might have moved around the page, but the link has been there. But I have CRS, so I could be wrong.
And the only post to the Blog on this issue isn't even linked to it but was started as a separate thread in the discussions I personally think that TR is attempting a loosing battle with the very poor reading comprehension shown by many of the peers here. Way too many want to [b]Jump Up and Down[/b] complaining as if that is the only thing that makes them happy about what they don't like instead of getting on with what they do like or want. If you don't like Slide Shows it's easy don't go to them and even if you do by mistake click on the link under the first slide to the Blog. [b]After all it's not that difficult.[/b] Caring on like you are makes you look like [b]Willy the Wingding Pom[/b] only capable of being happy when you are wingding as much as possible. :D No one is stopping you from reading any Article as you prefer so why are you trying to prevent others who prefer the Slide Show Format from reading as they prefer? They after all are not loudly complaining to remove the Blog Posts so why are you so vocal? Col
In fact, that might be part of this Thanksgiving's festivities.
The constant click bait has reached a tipping point. I have unsubscribed from email alerts and will stop using TR completely if this gets worse.
[i]Tech Republic is getting less and less usable[/i] You are complaining about what has always been and completely dismissing the ability to view as a Blog as well as a Slide Show. Long before there where Blog Posts on TR there where Slide Shows and TR has kept them as many want them. Although I suppose you are really complaining that TR has introduced the Blog Posts as well which is what you are implying is making TR less usable and More Add Rich which as far as I'm concerned is just stupid. Col

If you would pay attention, there is a link at the bottom of the first screen shot that takes you directly to the blog .... JEEZ people like you ANNOY me! The blog link looks like this below ....

Did you even read it, or did you just start complaining? http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/five-apps/five-must-have-portable-networking-tools/1530?tag=content;siu-container
... you'd see there's text that says "NOTE: If you'd prefer to view this information as a blog post, check out this entry in our Five Apps blog." And you could just click the link for reading as a blog... gosh forbid you were 100% pleased. How did you miss that?
I warn you, I'm going to look up what "Pom" means! And do you mean "Carrying on....?"
Possibly, instead of merely dismissing them, you may want to consider listening to them. It could be that you decide you don't want to change anything after listening, but if you dismiss them out of hand, as you really seem to be doing, you are going to lose them.
I actually opened one of the slideshows at lunch one day without knowing I had another TR peer looking over my shoulder. He asked what it was, then started to say something about hating the slide shows when the page changed to the corresponding blog. When he asked how I had done that, I told him and he admitted he had never noticed the link. Failure to pay attention happens all the time; we're all guilty of it at one time or another. And naturally, if we see something that sets us off, we never see anything other than that, no matter how obvious it may be.
And as such, most users won't notice it unless they're sufficiently interested and determined to look for it. If they're already put off by the format initially presented to them, they're unlikely to go looking for it.
I appreciate that TR gives the blog option, instead of having to view the slides. I believe it is one of the few sites to do so.
POM = Prisoner of Mother England No not really but that gets the message across a Person from England who wines all the time. :^0 [i]interesting[/i] the spool chocker wants to insert Porn for Pom and I'll forget the rest as that's way too strange. :0 Col ]:)
Here now, we can't have that! All joking aside, I agree with you on the slide shows. I much prefer to see images in line with text and usually avoid the slide shows because of that. On your suggestion to have the blog and slide show link to the same discussion, I don't know if the forum software will allow two different articles to call one discussion thread, but I could be wrong. I do like your idea of the side-by-side links for the slide show and blog in the email announcements. I've passed the link to your post on up the chain so the PTB can consider your suggestions.
First, yes, when the complaint is nothing more than "I HATE SLIDESHOWS," it is easy to stop there and conclude the user has not bothered to hit the blog link. I can see that. Admittedly, it took more than a few instant-close responses on my part before I stumbled over the link to the alternate article format. These days, my first reaction is to hunt for that link. If the link is absent (still happens sometimes), I still close and move on - maybe after giving a + vote to one of the criticisms of the format just for weight. Let me come back to that in a second. Despite the fact that I am grateful for the link to the alternative format, I have a couple of observations to make about the split article option (besides the fact that people miss the link) that still count against it. 1. The link pops to a new tab/window (personal opinion is that this is wasteful unless jumping to a new site) and then 2. the comment section on the blog option is not tied to the original; you have two threads. Granted, the original thread is nearly always filled with "I hate slideshows" arguments and doesn't really support the content of the original article. I would, however, prefer that both articles tie to the same discussion (if that is even possible). Back to my opinion on the format, itself. Yes, I'm on the other side of that fence and that's just my feeling on the format. I have never authored a slideshow and can't speak for why an author chooses that format over the other. But, there is some value to the fact that the slideshow is consistent in drumming up negative responses. I rarely hear praise for the multi-click format in these discussions. If changing the slide didn't reload the entire page (I agree this seems like "click bait"), the complaints might drop, but there'd still be opposition. I compare the dislike for this format to the same reason why we dislike other articles that have a second page with two closing sentences as its only content. Readers are smart enough to understand that ad revenue is important to the continuing success of the site; we get that. We don't like to feel "tricked" into providing an extra dose of traffic for piecemeal content. It seems... dirty. If I may offer a suggestion, the option to view one format over another should show up side-by-side in the email notifications. Let a user see there's an option and jump straight to the blog format they prefer and they'll likely jump in, read the content, and maybe provide useful feedback in the discussion. There will always, of course, be critics, but it would be nice to see the dialog filled with something other than debate over formatting. What do you say? "View Slideshow" living next to "View Blog format" in our email alert - not too difficult. And now, to contribute to the discussion regarding the article: Thank you, Jack, for gathering some data on useful tools for our ninja pouch. I am always glad to learn a better way to get the job done and often share these with my coworkers. I must agree with the comment that the ConnectionMonitoring tool is less useful than the others, but I do like the rest of this list. I think the Sysinternals TCPview trumps the netstat-ish ConnectionMonitoring and renders it superfluous.
You have no idea how much I want to reach for the Delete Account Button when I see complaints like this. The only post so far in relation to the Blog Post on this Article isn't even linked to the Blog but was started in the Discussion Forum totally unrelated. Of course I do think that their complaint about not including Windows in the Title is quite valid but these really make me want to throw up and start Deleting User Accounts. ;) http://www.techrepublic.com/forum/discussions/102-394659 Col
Attempt to read the descriptions. The link to the blog is almost always part of the description of the first slide. In this case, the link is between the title and the description. I don't see how that can be described as "below the fold",

A day after Brian Rowe showed us a peak of the new LA Galaxy secondary jersey, another Galaxy player offered an exclusive look.
This time, it was Robbie Rogers who posted a preview of the new kit on Instagram on Tuesday morning. The photo depicts a lenticular Galaxy crest on a blue field that includes light dark blue horizontal lines and includes just a glance of one of the club's five stars.
According to a Major League Soccer press release, the Galaxy will unveil the new jersey digitally on March 2 around 10 am PT.
Thoughts on the latest look at the new kit?
Share them below.
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano included in U.S. Under-17 squad for 2015 U-17 CONCACAF Championship
LA Galaxy Academy defender Hugo Arellano has been selected for the U.S. Under-17 squad as they look to qualify for this summer's U-17 World Cup in Chile.
Arellano has been a mainstay in Richie Williams' squad and will join the 20-man group as they head to Honduras for the 2015 CONCACAF U-17 Championship. Joining Arellano on the squad is former Galaxy Academy starlet Haji Wright who has been training recently with German club Schalke.
The tournament begins from Feb. 27 through March 15, and will see four teams from two groups qualify for Chile. The Americans open the tournament on Friday against Group A opponents Cuba. They'll be joined in Group A by Jamaica, Guatemala, and Trinidad & Tobago.
Like the U-20 tournament earlier this year, the top team from each group will qualify while the second-and-third place sides will play in a one-game knockout match to determine the rest of CONCACAF's participants.
The complete roster is below.
Goalkeepers: William Pulisic (Richmond United/USA); Kevin Silva (Players Development Academy/USA)
Defenders: Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls/USA); Hugo Arellano (LA Galaxy/USA); Daniel Barbir (West Bromwich Albion FC/ENG); Tanner Dieterich (Real Salt Lake Arizona/USA); John Nelson (Internationals Soccer Club/USA); Matthew Olosunde (New York Red Bulls/USA); Alexis Velela (San Diego Surf/USA)
Midfielders: Eric Calvillo (Real SoCal/USA); Lucas de la Torre (Fulham FC/ENG); Thomas McCabe (Players Development Academy/USA); Christian Pulisic (Borussia Dortmund/GER); Alejandro Zendejas Saavedra (FC Dallas/USA)
Forwards: Pierre da Silva (Orlando City SC/USA); Orrin Gaines II (Lonestar SC/USA); Joe Gallardo Jr (Monterrey/MEX); Joshua Perez (unattached); Brandon Vazquez (Club Tijuana/MEX); Haji Wright (unattached)
LA Galaxy II moved forward with their preseason preparations with a 4-1 victory over PDL side Fresno Fuego at Chukchansi Park on Saturday.
Travis Bowen scored two goals in the first half while Lee Nishanian and Mackenzie Pridham added goals in the second half. Paul Islas scored the lone goal of the evening for the Fuego.
Bowen put Galaxy II ahead after just 11 minutes off dish from Joe Franco. It did not take long for Bowen to add a second as the forward notched his second just 15 minutes later with Raul Mendiola playing the distributor. Islas capitalized on a Los Dos defensive breakdown to pull the Fuego to within one in the 55th minute, but Galaxy II soon extended their lead as Nishanian headed in a corner in the 66th minute. Pridham rounded out the scoring for Los Dos just moments before full time.
Los Dos will begin the 2015 USL regular season on March 22 when they host Real Monarchs SLC at the StubHub Center Track and Field Stadium.
Trialist Mika Vayrynen bagged a goal for the LA Galaxy during their 1-0 victory over Shamrock Rovers on Saturday, but his future with the club is still up in the air.
The 33-year-old Finnish international currently with HJK Helsinki had spells at Dutch giants Heerenveen and PSV as well as with English club Leeds Unite during his 15 year professional career. Vayrynen began training with the club during the first days in Dublin, but after the victory over Rovers, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena says no decisions have been made on the Finn just yet.
"I've not made any decisions with Mika at this point," Arena said. "I'm going to get that sorted out over the next couple of days."
Meanwhile Trialist Edson Buddle was unable to suit up against Rovers due to an unspecified injury.
Life is a process of continual evolution for LA Galaxy defender Robbie Rogers both on the field and off.
In my latest piece for LAGalaxy.com, I spoke to Rogers about his attempt to reconnect with U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and the defender's perceptions on his legacy as the first openly gay athlete in a major American professional sport. However not all of my conversation with Rogers made the story.
Below are other excerpts from Rogers discussing his book Coming out to Play and his continued growth as a soccer player and a person.
(On his decision to write his book…)
ROGERS: It was definitely more about – After I came out publicly and had that relation from people which was something that I didn't think would happen in a million years, I realized that I could write a book about my story which so many people can relate to. The biggest difference that I've made is just being on the field and then afterward writing a book and going into detail and exposing a vulnerable part of myself helps as much as being on the field and playing.
(On his transformation as a gay athlete…)
ROGERS: "For me, it was about first whether my teammates respected me and if they did respect me and enjoyed playing with me. Of course, you want to accomplish things on the field. This year, especially, I was never thinking of myself as a gay athlete. That's the big difference between 2013 and 2014, last year I was on the road and I was the only gay guy and I had to deal with that which wasn't because of how I was treated by the team but what I was dealing with. This year, there were so many times where it just wasn't even an issue. I never had to talk about it. This year, I realized that when the book was coming out then but I would just not think about it."
(On how Rogers ultimately hopes that he's remembered when he decides to retire…)
ROGERS: I hope that I have a good enough career and I'm successful enough that people just think about me as a player on the Galaxy who helped win championships and played for good teams. I hope teammates like Landon, Robbie and Omar can remember me as a guy on their team who was a good soccer player and a good person, regardless of me being gay or straight.
(On whether he understands the conceptual change within him…)
ROGERS: I was so introverted and I was so afraid to have close relationships because I was afraid that people would get to know me. I was afraid to be this crazy person on the dance floor. I was so afraid of so many things and this year, it was so completely different and I'm so happy that I'm able to enjoy it. After all, if you can't enjoy winning a championship, what is the point of being a professional soccer player? What's the point of being successful in any career if you can't enjoy the little moments where you have a triumph. I think a lot of people can't enjoy moments because they want to move onto what's next, but I know that in that moment especially after what happened a few years earlier, I just had to cry. I was happy to show that emotion to them as well that they see that he's human.
(On the distinct difference between how he acted as a child and today…)
ROGERS: It's really sad. It's so sad how depressed and how homophobic I was to myself. I was simply isolated and alone, and afraid to share this side to anyone even myself. It's been two years since I came out and it's incredible how different things have been. My family wasn't ready to support same sex marriage but now they can't wait till I get married. It's crazy how things change so quickly. I can't explain that. It's really changed overnight.
(On whether he expected any anger from his stories in the book…)
ROGERS: This is all a learning experience. Everything in the book is the truth but I've just been supported by everyone that I spoke about in the book. I was able to then come out and move back to the states and go through everything that I went to. I heard the most ridiculous things from people who love me so much and I realized that they're not homophobic they say things because their church tells them to or to make people around them laugh or they're supposed to. I learned that people aren't homophobic but have this pack mentality which I was part of when I was younger.
(On dealing with the locker room mentality and the focus that has gotten since his announcement…)
ROGERS: When you live that your life, you've seen in it. Whether it was Columbus or Leeds or Holland or college or even when I was younger in High School, you hear on a daily basis that you shouldn't be such an [expletive] or don't be so gay. These are really things that you think when you are gay and you are raised that is wrong and you hear them, it slowly chips away at you. It makes you feel like you ever accept that side of you that something will change and they might not accept you. It scared the [expletive] out of me.
(On how his own insecurities played into the writing of his book…)
ROGERS: I didn't know the book would be so therapeutic. Just sitting with Eric and writing and talking for hours and hours helped me realized that I was raised for so long in an environment where I couldn't express myself. I'm still really bad at expressing myself and being open with people because for 20 years, I wasn't. Nothing changes over night. But Eric would say to me that he's 50 and he's still working on all his flaws. I didn't realize that was going to happen or take place. Our hope was to write a book that would reach people that had a gay son or knew someone that was gay and could read this and pass it along, but also help that person [that was reading]through whatever they were dealing with.
(On a unique experience speaking to people a book signing at a Los Angeles CostCo...)
ROGERS: Usually when you have an appearance or a book signing, people know who you are but at Costco, they don't have a connection [with a gay person]. People were coming up to me asking who I and I'd tell them, they'd sit there and read the book. They'd stand there and just keep reading then tell me 'oh my gosh, this is a great story. It's so great that you're doing" then they ended up buying a copy and telling me, I'm going to read this or give it to someone else and pass it along. I thought that this is great because not all these people are gay but they can read the story and connect to it. They realize that it's about someone who has a coming out experience that feels isolated and depressed at some point. They can pick the book up and relate to it. That was our hope, to connect with people that weren't necessarily in the LGBT community but felt that they had a coming out (either they had a divorce or changed religions and had to confront their family about it) we knew that."
(On his perceptions on the frustrating 2013 season with the Galaxy…)
ROGERS: It was weird. Even last year, I thought to myself that I hope other people come out because I didn't want to be the only gay athlete. I remember that 2013 was tough. I remember saying to my family that even when you come out, everything isn't great. You're still struggling with a lot of things. This year was more about finding a balance and being at peace with what I'm doing. I'm not just a gay athlete, I play for the Galaxy, I'm a left back and we have a good team. It was more than just that. It was just figuring out my life and being comfortable. I had just come out six months before I started playing with the Galaxy. It's not like you just come out and you've solved everything in life because you're still a 20-something trying to figure stuff out. But the book did help me figure out stuff about myself."
Robbie Keane will not be losing his LA Galaxy captiancy to incoming Designated Player Steven Gerrard, head coach Bruce Arena asserted from Dublin on Friday.
Speaking to local media ahead of Saturday's match against Shamrock Rovers at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin, Arena made left no question that Keane will keep the armband that he has worn for LA for the last two seasons.
"He's our captain and our penalty kick taker until he tells me otherwise," said Arena when asked if Keane will continue to take penalties for LA.
But could Gerrard end up a vice-captain for the Galaxy when he arrives this summer? That is still up in the air.

LA Galaxy midfielder Juninho is interested in one day suiting up for the U.S. National Team, but fans of the Brazilian should hold their horses before running to buy U.S. jerseys with "Juninho" on the back.
Juninho recently told the Brazilian outlet Globoesporte of his intention of suiting up for the U.S. National Team rather than his home land which recently capped his brother Ricardo Goulart. Sources close to the midfielder have told LA Galaxy Insider that this has been a long standing wish of the Brazilian, but even though the 26-year-old has lived in the United States since joining the Galaxy in 2010 and currently holds a green card -- which he obtained in the summer of 2013 -- he must still wait five years until he can apply for citizenship.
When Juninho is finally eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship, the Brazilian midfielder will be nearly 30-years old. If the process is completed quickly, Juninho could be eligible to play for the USMNT during their qualifying efforts for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
CARSON, Calif. -- Gyasi Zardes returned to the LA Galaxy before the team's trip to Europe loaded with confidence after his successful stint with the U.S. National Team.
During the USMNT's annual Winter camp, Zardes made his first two appearances for the national side including an influential start during their 2-0 victory over Panama last Sunday. Following two days off after a month-long training camp, Zardes rejoined the Galaxy where he admitted that he was feeling an extra pep in his step.
"This preseason has been wonderful for me. Just jumping in a new environment [with the USMNT]," said Zardes. "You always gain confidence the more you play, no matter what team you play on. Being with the camp helped me grow. My method is once you find rhythm try to keep it. Bring that to a new atmosphere. I'm just trying to get better and take advantage of every opportunity I get. Stay humble and level-headed. That's how I grow."

TIMED Spacecraft Transported to Launch Site
January 30, 2013
In preparation for its transport to the launch pad, the TIMED spacecraft and its launch partner, the Jason-1 spacecraft, were placed inside a specially designed shipping container with instrumentation to record humidity, temperature, shock and pressure. A continuous nitrogen purge was maintained on the TIMED spacecraft to keep moisture and contaminants out - keeping the spacecraft's instruments extremely clean. The container was then loaded onto a custom flatbed truck equipped with special shocks to reduce vibration to the spacecraft during transport from the payload processing facility to the launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. At the site, launch team members placed the spacecraft onto the pad.

Is there a way to block our forum spammer/shoe salesman, jqyshoes?
He or she could at least contribute an eggcorn or two along with the spam!
Feeling quite combobulated.
The administrator removes them when he becomes aware of them.
Cool. I can hardly see the forest for the trees anymore. :-)
Feeling quite combobulated.
The shoe salesman should shoo!
I'm going to go barefoot for the rest of the day in protest! :-)
Feeling quite combobulated.
Okay, it's safe to wear shoes (or carry purses) again—I've deleted our spam. And after that I went rummaging through the deserted back offices here, looking for that darn manual. And waddya know…. Most of the time, it turns out that I don't have the access to do whatever we feel needs to be done on the site. But in this case I actually found clear directions for banning offending IPs, so if the pesky Prada peddler strikes again, we'll be ready for him.
um. at the moment there are several spam threads preceding this one in the list. Lol. Guess it didn't work.
No, we can't tell yet whether it worked. As I said in the earlier post, I only figured out how to ban IPs after I deleted the spam—which means I didn't have any IPs to ban. This morning's new batch gave me an IP to work with, so we'll see if they're back tomorrow. And spammers typically work with multiple IPs—they may just jump to a new one on me

Palm Treo 680 Charging problem
by tonytohono - 12/22/06 10:39 PM
I just got a Treo 680 today (brand new). The first thing I did was charge it up until the light turned green. But the moment I turned on the phone I get an extremely low battery warning. The battery icon shows all white.
Plug it back in and the charging indicator is again red. A few minutes later it turns green, but when I unplug it . . . again with the warning.
Plug it back in, indicator is red. And so on and so on.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Is the unit still charging even though the indicator is green? How long dies it take to fully charge the unit?
Bad charger? Bad battery?
Thanks for any help.
