We need to stop plastic pollution in the oceans.
Pete hit it on the nail.Recyclable glass or refillable needs to be reinstated instead of plastic. Plastic is poison

Thank you TreeHugger, for Sharing this!
It's we who need to start picking up other people's rubbish and making sure we are responsible for the products we make that give a person a wage to live on. Put your rubbish in the bin, don't throw it out the car or leave it on the beach or st.
If only there was a way to remove the plastic from our oceans...
nice photos :)
As always, our choice on what to use should be made on what is friendlier to our planet.
With that being said....... Reduce, Reuse Recycle!

Can't Download Apps on iPod Touch.
So, I downloaded the 2.0 software, and when I try to download apps from the store off my touch, I get the message that tells me to sign in iTunes, and when I connect my iPod to my computer I can download it (something similar to that). What do I do? I already signed in, and it still gives me the same message when I try to download an app from the Touch.
Unable to Download Application :

Same Here ... Sorta ...???
I'm pretty pissed. I was soo excited to try out 2.0. When I got the download and tried to download some free apps to try it out. It showed it downloading and then said,
"Unable to Download application
ApplicationName will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer."
So i connected to my computer where I was already logged on and always am and basically nothing happened and I unplugged my iPod from computer and looked and the app(s) were then working. I'm confused and frustrated would appreciate HELP. Thanx

I can not download apps or updates for apps with my ipod touch. it makes me angry that it happens. Someone please help me and the person before me.

Are you downloading from the iPod touch section in the app store? Not sure if that makes a difference.

yea ... ?
Yea, I actually did get that pretty quick forgot to mention, but the thing is that i can't download apps straight from the app store to my Touch which is frustrating when you don't have access to the comp (or to lazy to turn comp on and plug in) at times. I just wanna be able to use apps download and use on Touch right away.
|Aug 6, 2008, 03:55 AM
Are you sure your wifi connection is good? Recently, when I tried to download an app from my Touch, I got a similar message. I noticed that I only had one bar on my wifi connection. I moved to where I had a stronger connection and tried again, and presto, the app downloaded.

Updates not working thru iphone or itunes
When I have an update available, and I click on the Update money, the update starts but then stops with same message: Unable to Download, will be available for download in iTunes store. When I sign in to iTunes, it tells me there are no updates available for my account. When I click on Check for Purchases, same thing.
I thought it might work once I synced, but then I get the message that the application was not installed on the iphone because an unknown error occurred 0xE800002E.
Now I did find, that if I deleted the application thru iPhone and then reinstalled, the updated application was loaded. However, this doesn't save my stuff that was already in the application, so it's like starting over. Which, as you can imagine, is very frustrating.
I've considered resetting the phone, but won't this erase all the information I have on it, like my contacts, todo lists, etc.?

Problem Solved - For Me
I too had this same problem for the past two weeks and was pulling my hair out {what is left}.
How I fixed it, on your iPhone go to .......
Settings ---> Safari ---> Accept Cookies ---> (select) Always
I had "Never" selected under this option and now all is well in my world. Except I am back to buying applications as an impulse.
|Aug 26, 2008, 11:00 AM
Deleting apps from iPhone and then adding them back worked for me
I got the 0xE800002E error after downloading updates for four apps for my iPhone.
I went into the Applications tab in "iPhone" in iTunes and unchecked them. (I already had the "Selected applications" radio button selected.) I then pressed the Apply button to sync and delete them from my iPhone. Then I re-enabled them (in the Applications tab) and pressed Apply to sync them back to my phone. I didn't get the error.
|Sep 12, 2008, 10:30 PM
I have this same problem on my iphone. I just got the 2.1 update hoping that would fix it, but nope. It happens for me every time I try to update or install any app no matter how big it is.
I tried googling and didn't find much. My cookies are enabled and I tried the doouble tap trick.
The only thing that I can think of is the fact that I had it jailbroken at one point (though about a month ago) and have since restored. The only thing I can think of is maybe the partion size I chose when I jailbroke wasn't good.
Other people having this problem, have you jailbroken before?
Anybody have any other ideas?

Well. Hey guys. Problems was solved by putting in a new sim card from same carrier.

Three days after the Malaysia Airlines flight went missing, husband of missing Pune passenger Pralhad Shirsat returned to Pune on Wednesday. Though he is keeping to himself, his first meeting with his sons after his wife's aircraft went missing broke him down.
Kranti Shirsath, 44, a former chemistry lecturer, is one of the five Indian passengers traveling on the Beijing-bound plane before it went missing last Saturday.
"Pralhad is tense and not able to speak anything. He is just dazed. During the entire journey from Mumbai to Pune he seemed calm. But as soon as his sons Rahul and Yeshwant hugged him, he broke down. Pralhad's boss who accompanied him in the flight from Mumbai said he hardly ate there. He has been restless all along, even in the flight," brother Satish Shirsath told dna.

Aspyr makes Rage: Campaign Edition game available for Mac
updated 09:00 pm EST, Thu February 2, 2012
Mac version offers extra equipment, missions
Based on the original game by Bethesda Softworks and iD Software, Aspyr has ported the first-person shooter Rage to the Mac in a "Campaign Edition" that features bonus equipment and missions formerly exclusive to the Rage: Anarchy Edition for the PC and Xbox. The Mad Max-style post-apocalypse adventure uses the iD Tech 5 OpenGL engine and represents the first entry in the Rage franchise for the Mac.
A "little slice" of the larger Rage game has already been made available for iOS devices under the same name, but the iOS games focus on the "Mutant Bash TV" aspect of the larger game. iD head John Carmack has hinted that another iOS game based on Rage is in development.
The desktop version of Rage casts the player as a Mad Max type character who takes on bandit gangs, mutant hordes and other enemies with an arsenal of unusual weapons. The Mac version includes equipment from supplementary add-ons to earlier versions of the game, which include Crimson Elite Armor and the Rat Rod Buggy among other items. Players will also have access to extra missions not originally available in the game, which take place in the Wasteland Sewers.
The game features state-of-the-art resolution graphics, and supports English, French and German languages. It sells for $40 and requires Mac OS X 10.7.2 or higher, 4GB of RAM and supports the ATI Radeon HD 3870, Nvidia GeForce 8800 and other 256MB video cards, including the Intel HD Graphics 3000 chipset.
The game cannot be used on volumes formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Case Sensitive), the company warns. It's available for download from Aspyr's GameAgent store as well as the Mac App Store and other Mac supporting game download sites.

PANARAMIC VIEW... CORNER UNIT WITH LARGE LANAI ON 2 SIDES. DISCOUNTS FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. Please inquire.
Live the tropical island dream! -- the ocean spreading before you like a sailors fantasy, tranquil palm trees framing your view, a peaceful home for relaxing and getting ready for your adventures. This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo in the Maalaea Yacht Marina condo building is so pleasant you may not want to leave! Check our Calendar for Availability.
Recently beautifully refurbished, you have a very private vacation condo in an aloha Maui paradise with the ocean and exotic foliage right by you. Three walls of glass and a wrap-around lanai (balcony) create a seamless interface between the stunning view and the master bedroom and living area. Also free secure wireless internet! An assigned parking space and a security elevator add to your peace of mind of being in a quiet part of Maui away from traffic and crowds.
Look at sparkling sunrises over Haleakala, at over 10,000 feet. Feel the privacy of watching the quiet boat traffic going on excursions, fishing trips and whale watching while you are unobserved at breakfast on you third floor lanai. Watch the sun play off the islands of Molokini and Kahoolave and the West Maui Mountain through the day till the moon sparkles off the waters in front of you in the evening and the south shoreline of Kehei, Wailea and Makena twinkles with lights.
This is a magical place that we call a second home is in a quiet 4 floor condo building. You will find it furnished with kitchen amenities, books (including many Maui guides), beach gear - all the things you'd want for staying weeks at a time in this enchanting location. We visit several times a year to care for our place and an on-island agent is available to you. You will get her contact information when you make your final reservation payment. For a lot MORE PHOTOS click the link below just above the calendar for our personal website.
As it is centrally located on the island, you are 15 minutes from the airport and the large grocery stores of Kahului and Kehei. (There is a well stocked convenience grocery in the next building.) You are well situated for daily excursions to the South Shore, Lahaina, the road to Hana or Upcountry. Learn more about these adventures from our personal guest binder in the condo and our personal condo website referenced in the link below.
We enjoy the convenience of a mini-market downstairs in the adjacent condo building and a General Store a very short walk away. Both of these have a deli, a selection of groceries and drug-store items, plus island souvenirs. A five minute walk further along to Harbor Village brings more restaurants and snack food venues. We get delicious meals at Buzz's on the Wharf, and enjoy the harbor scene during a meal at the harbor side Beach Bums Bar and Grill - and that's not all our choices for food! There is a pizza place with great designer pizzas and an upscale Italian restaurant, newly opened in January 2014.
Besides the shops with a variety of clothing, souvenirs and sundries (including a branch of Maui Dive Shop where you can rent snorkel equipment or arrange dive trips), the Harbor Village is home to The Ocean Center, a world class aquarium. Nearby you also have a miniature golf course and the convenience of a gas station. At the end of the short street on which the condo is located, you'll find a beach park that is the beginning of three miles of beach reserve, where we enjoy sunrise strolls, beach combing and bird watching.
We think you'll find our home-away-from-home relaxing and inviting and you'll enjoy the quality we added. You'll want to spend days there on the lanai, enjoying the birds in the monkey pod tree or palm trees just off the lanai and the boats sailing in and out of the small harbor. Or the solar heated pool will entice you with its view right off to the spectacular tropical ocean. When you want to call home and connect with your family or friends, long distance is free to all USA States and Canada. And when you are ready to venture out, you'll see that this is a great choice for a home base on your vacation in Paradise.
Credit Card payments available through PayPal.

We are Jim and Cynthia, from Reno, Nevada. Jim is a University Professor and Cynthia a retired first grade teacher. This picture shows us doing a favorite hike on Maui where we love all the opportunity for diverse outdoor activities. We get to be in our condo several times a year which allows us to make improvements on a regular basis (and, of course, have a Great Vacation!). We have a good property manager whose office is near the condo to take care of cleaning and upkeep on a regular basis. Maui is our favorite of the islands for its beaches, snorkeling, arts community and fabulous scenery. We love to travel and hope you enjoy one of our favorite places for a vacation.
The Owner purchased this condo in 1999
We love the sense of paradise we get when we are at our condo. Maalaea is away from the hustle and bustle of very touristy areas, yet just steps away from the romantic peacefulness of our palm trees and ocean splendor there are a variety of restaurants, shops and even a small grocery store. When we were looking to buy a condo we had stayed both in the south and the west on other trips to Maui. When we saw the island feel of this little corner of Maui and a whale breached right before our eyes a few minutes after entering this condo, we were more than charmed. We were convinced this was perfect for a tropical island dream.
One of the things we enjoy so much is the fact of our corner condo having an extra large lanai that wraps around and gives us such a sense of openness. It feels very private being on the third floor with trees near us and the water of the Bay so close we could throw a coconut into it! The walls of window in the condo have floor to ceiling curtains that give a spacious feeling, not the narrow-box closeness of some condos. Besides these pleasures of the condo itself, we enjoy walking over to Harbor Village for the restaurants, some shopping, or to book a cruise or a whale watch. The Maui Ocean Center there is a world class aquarium, so we get at least a week membership. Having a gas station less than a minute drive away and miles of beach (a Nature Reserve that won't be built up) stretching the other direction are part of the benefits of our location.
A few weeks ago a family asking about our condo for a summer stay wanted some references, since I hadn't put in a Guest Book online. Of course, I provided references but also decided to add the Guest Book. So I asked various guests from the last several years to make comments. Right now I am at the condo myself. One of my very favorite things to do right away is read the guest book in the condo. We started our second guest book when we were here in December and what a fun time I just had reading the comments since then! I had to get some paper and make notes of some new places to go. The guests have left such good ideas of favorite places to eat and activities to do. You will get good ideas from "regular people" as well as from the many books we have for you on Maui. My goal is to help our guests have a wonderful vacation... and my guests help me have one, too!
We had the best time in Maui and enjoyed coming home each evening to this comfortable condo. It's located in a great central area and has a lovely view from the balcony. The beach, just downstairs, was loaded with turtles!! This was an unexpected surprise. I would highly recommend this condo.
Some vacations are so busy we need to rest from our vacation upon returning home. Not so with our wonderful stay in Maui. The owners were accomodating and friendly. The condo fit our every need, especially the beautiful morning sunrises from the large veranda. We walked, shopped, and ate locally. The location was convenient. I highly recommend this condominium vacation to others.
It is great condo to stay, it is more than well equipped than the description in VRBO.com. Enjoyed the views, sun rise and sunset. Great Location and wonderfully decorated condo. Enjoyed home cooked dinners in the Lanai..it is an awesome vacation and can't wait to come back and have a longer stay.
Thanks a lot Cynthia..
Hari & Family
The location of the condo is the best!!! Easy access to anything; that is if you want to leave-
We loved the condo and the "little beach" so much we spent many relaxing hours there-
the day before we left two manta rays come into the harbor and frolicked right in front of the lanai - it was a treat to see these beautiful creatures. Also enjoyed the bobbing heads of the sea turtles every day. Must see is Sugar Beach right near the condo - so wonderful. We were the only ones there! My sister's first time to Hawaii and she fell in love and truly enjoyed the well equipped and tastefully decorated condo. Thanks Cynthia
The thing that stands out most about this condo is that Cynthia really loves it, cares about it, and cares about the people who stay there.
She called us to check in and make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell by talking to her how much she loves this condo....this isn't just a money-making piece of real estate to her. It's refreshing.
She also became very concerned when I fell ill and worked with us to let us stay another night so I could rest. Her housekeeper was very flexible in that regard as well. We are so appreciative. Cynthia checked with me about my illness after we returned home, too.
We enjoyed our stay in this condo and especially working with Cynthia.
From the minute I contacted Cynthia about booking this condo for our dream Maui vacation, I knew I had found the right place! As we had never rented a condo through VRBO, naturally we were a little apprehensive especially with us living so far away. But, Cynthia quickly put our concerns aside. Booking, paying, questions, and we had a lot of questions, were all handled promptly and thoroughly.
The welcome packet Cynthia sent us became our Maui guide! (along with the Maui Revealed book which is one of many informative books in the condo). We managed to do most of the activities listed in the packet; the Kahuhuli Swap meet, Road to Hana, (twice), yes twice, there were just so many hikes and activities we wanted to do along this magnificent road, Haleakala sun rise, and the amazing funky town of Paia being some of the highlights of our trip! You must try the Fish Market in Paia! We frequented it several times!
We spent 2 weeks in paradise, and this lovely oceanfront condo. What an amazing place. From the first morning having our coffee on the lanai and watching the sun come up over Haleakala, we were smitten! We chose this condo for its location, we loved staying in Maalaea! So central to everything! We enjoyed the market everyday, the General Store, and ofcourse the Aquarium!
We loved the condo for its oceanfront location, large corner lanai, and 2 bedrooms/bathrooms. We travelled with our good friends and the condo met all of our expectations. Beautiful, comfortable and quiet. Sitting on the lanai you are immediately captivated by the view of the ocean, Haleakala, the harbour, and for me the palm trees swaying! First time I had seen a palm tree! We spent every morning watching the tour boats go out from the harbour while having our breakfast and coffee on the lanai......sigh, what a wonderful time we had. We made a lifetime of memories, and hope to get back very soon to continue our discovery of this magical place.
Thank you Cynthia for everything! My heart is full, and I know this was just the first of many trips we will make to this very special place.
Mahalo! Dave, Katrina, Jack, Maureen

Packers rookie safety Clinton-Dix: 'They brought me here for a reason'
MAY 27, 2014 2:00p ET
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It was no secret entering this year's NFL Draft that the Green Bay Packers needed a safety. When that position was addressed immediately in the first round with Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, even the former Alabama star admitted he had recognized -- with some help from his Instagram and Twitter followers -- that there would be a great opportunity at a starting job waiting for him in the land of green and gold.
"I kind of went back and looked at Green Bay (before the draft) and (thought), 'You know, they could use some help (at safety and) on the defensive side of the ball, period, with the great offense they already have,'" Clinton-Dix said. "So I looked there, and I was like, 'Well, everybody might be right. I might end up in Green Bay. Seriously.'
"Everything happens for a reason."
The questions now aren't about his chances to start as a rookie. Unless Clinton-Dix has a very poor showing over the next three months, he should be starting next to Morgan Burnett when the Packers travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks in the NFL season opener. Micah Hyde's positional adjustment is still in the early stages of development, and the only other competition for Clinton-Dix to be on the field for the first defensive snap of the season are Sean Richardson (undrafted in 2012), Chris Banjo (undrafted in 2013) and undrafted rookies Tanner Miller and Charles Clay.
"They brought me here for a reason," Clinton-Dix said during rookie orientation. "I love to play safety. I'm here. I'm ready for it."
Clinton-Dix has the talent and major college experience to transition well to the NFL. Green Bay has to hope, though, that he's the right fit next to Burnett.
Last season, Burnett was given the unenviable task of teaming up with Jerron McMillian and M.D. Jennings at safety. The proof of just how difficult that assignment was for Burnett can be summed up quickly by noting that McMillian -- a fourth-round pick in 2012 -- was released midway through his second NFL season, and Jennings wasn't given a restricted free-agent tender and was allowed to leave for the Chicago Bears on a one-year, minimum-dollars contract.
There were a lot of issues with the Packers' safety play in 2013. The problem that can be best supported by statistics is the well-known fact that Green Bay's safeties failed to record a single interception or forced fumble all season.
"No, that didn't alarm me," general manager Ted Thompson said of those stats.
Thompson may be alone in that, not to mention that his selection of Clinton-Dix in the first round may be an "actions speak louder than words" type of situation.
Clinton-Dix, a rangy, centerfield-type safety, should be a great help to Burnett and to the Packers' defense as a whole that desperately needed a player with his skill set.
"I think he's a real all-purpose kind of safety," Thompson said of Clinton-Dix. "He's shown an ability to cover down in the slot, he's good in support; physical player. Also can play well in the back end."
Versatility is a quality that head coach Mike McCarthy was looking for this offseason from Green Bay's players on defense. Clinton-Dix offers that, which should help the Packers play to Burnett's strengths as well.
"Morgan, he was kind of forced into that role as a strong safety (last season)," safeties coach Darren Perry said. "(Burnett) has the ability to play both near the line of scrimmage and in the deep zones, so we feel good about that."
No matter where Burnett and Clinton-Dix line up on the field, unless injuries hit, it will likely be the two of them manning the position in 2014 and beyond. But with offseason training activities (OTAs) and training camp still to come, McCarthy isn't ready to anoint Clinton-Dix as a guaranteed, full-time starter yet.
"I don't have any slotted ideas that he's going to play this position and this many snaps," McCarthy said. "I think his transition here will be pretty seamless, but he needs to come in and compete with the guys that are already here."
McCarthy stated during rookie orientation that Clinton-Dix was "off to a good start." For that good start to blossom into a good rookie season, Perry said "a lot of that's going to depend on Ha Ha and how hard he's willing to work, and we feel good about his work ethic."
Clinton-Dix wouldn't specifically acknowledge the increased pressure that comes with being a first-round pick, but there's no getting around how important he will be to Green Bay's defense. If Clinton-Dix isn't ready to contribute at a high level yet, it will adversely affect Burnett and many other aspects of the Packers' quest to turn around their defense.
"We have to be better," Perry said of the safeties. "We weren't good enough, and that starts right here with me, that starts with our coaching staff, and we recognize that. We don't shy away from that. It's going to be a great challenge, and we will be better, no question in my mind."

Recipe by Nita
"Garlic sauteed in butter, then simmered with anchovies and cream. If you love garlic, you will love this. My husband doesn't like it because it has too much garlic for him! It is an Italian dipping sauce that you eat as a main course. It is very soupy. You can eat it with Chinese cabbage, green peppers and/or Italian bread. I got the recipe from my mother several years ago; she told me that it was an old Italian dish. We are not Italian, but it has been in my family for a couple of generations!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
1 cup
garlic, thinly sliced
6 cups
1 (2 ounce) can
anchovy filets
I've seen this in Italian cookbooks and it's "Bagna Cauda."
When my family makes it, after we saute the garlic and add the anchovies (but before the heavy whipping cream reduced by half!) we cook some steak in it, cut into dippable strips. After we remove the steak, we add some more garlic (because a lot sticks to the steak) and a little more anchovies and then add the cream.
Note: You should stir the cream really quickly for it to blend the best.
We love this stuff so much we have annual Bagna Cauda parties.
This was OK... but reminded me too much of Alfredo sauce and I was under the impression it was a much richer thicker sauce. The taste in itself was very good, but wasn't anything that would top the ordinary. I used 4 cups of heavy cream and 1 cup of milk. I also put in 2 cans of anchovies which gave it much more flavor. Did not change the amount of garlic or butter. I added a large pinch of flour (about 1 1/2 TBSP) thinking it would thiken up the sauce, but that did not help either. The mixture cooked for about 45 minutes med/low (simmering lightly) at which point I gave up on trying to get it to thicken. I give this a "B" and figure maybe I'll try it again since it's not very hard to make and now knowing that the sauce will never thicken to my desired consistency I will not need to cook it for longer than 20 minutes.

I have learned that in the Italian countryside, it matters not what it is called, but that it is an awesome dish. My family has served this for years. We call it bunya cauda. I think it really just depends on the family for its pronunciation. We have substituted this for the traditional Christmas dinner. We tend to serve it with regular cabbage, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli and just basically our favorite veggies & italian bread. In my experience in making it, people either love it or hate it. Its all about the garlic! LOL
AWESOME! I added some shrimp, scallops, and spinach. Served it with pasta. Sort of like a seafood scampi. My husband was in heaven.
My husband and I love this stuff. He told me about it when we first started dating, and when I found this recipie on the site, I suprised him with it. IT is now addicting. It does take a little while for it thicken, but it is definetly worth the wait. I use a entire jar of minced garlic, and heavy cream instead of half and half.
This is an Italian recipe, and it is spelled "Bagna Calda."
Great party food! We too, call it Bania Caulda meaning "hot sauce" or something like that in Italian. Anyway, it serves more than 2. I saute' the garlic in butter and olive oil in an electric frying pan on low, then add the anchovies and let it all simmer then add a Tablespoon of vinegar (an Italian lady told me to do it) and mix well. We never put cream in it, but if I did I would not put in very much. Then we have a tray of assorted veggies and sliced French or Italian crusty bread, and folks stand around the same electric pan, using the bread as a "plate" and dip the veggies in the hot sauce and use the bread to catch the drips and munch away. Great conversation starter and so good with some good red wine!
I'm amazed to see this recipe here. It is an old recipe passed down in our family and we call it Bunyaculda, but it is the exact same recipe. It is delicious, especially with green peppers and italian bread. But, just as Nita warned...it's very garlicy and you'll stink for weeks after. P.S. I've seen it spelled a million different ways... another version is Bagna Caöda.

Things got a bit heated during Friday's meeting between Chatham County and city leaders. Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson, as well as representatives from the other seven municipalities, pressed County Commission Chairman Pete Liakakis and Commissioner Patrick Farrell to resume negotiations regarding the distribution of an estimated $600 million in Local Option Sales Tax revenue during the next 10 years. Liakakis cut off negotiations early in July and called for a third-party mediator to step in to help the two sides resolve their differences over how the funds should be split up.

Unfortunately, there was not enough room in yesterday's paper to include everything I talked about with Kara Fennell, the mother of Mitchell Kyle Bieber. Bieber was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 years on Tuesday for attacking Fennell, her husband and killing his 7-year-old half brother Tyler Fennell.
Sometimes victims of such horrific crimes get defined in news stories by what had happened to them. The actual person isn't always brought to light.
On Wednesday, Fennell told me Tyler was more than just a victim.
Fennell described Tyler as a big 75-pound boy that liked to eat. His father thought he had a future linebacker in his midst, but football wasn't really Tyler's thing. Fennell said he didn't like the sport because he didn't like to hurt people and refused to tackle anyone.

Odimgbe asked permission to sell the bench for $1.
"This is just to show that something good does come from bus stops and bus benches," Odimgbe said.

Eric Helmrich and Jack Morrow homered Friday as the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs used the long ball to beat Albany's Dutchmen 7-1 at Veterans Memorial Park.
Eric Helmrich and Jack Morrow homered Friday as the Mohawk Valley DiamondDawgs used the long ball to beat Albany's Dutchmen 7-1 at Veterans Memorial Park.
Albany had taken a 1-0 lead in the third inning and tried to add a run in the fourth. DiamondDawgs catcher Eddie Sorondo threw Jack Wietlispach out at second base to end the top of the fourth as the Dutchmen attempted a double steal. Shortstop Tom Valichka tagged Wietlispach out before Jared Martin reached the plate on the front end.
Limited to one hit through three innings, the DiamondDawgs finally got to Albany starter Andrew Furber in the fourth. Furber hit David Del Grande with a pitch then gave up an Andy Heck single. Another hit by Chris Cruz sent Del Grande home and tied the game at 1. Helmrich followed with his third home run of the summer, a three-run blast to left field that put the DiamondDawgs up 4-1. Morrow singled and came around to score another run on an error.
Morrow, a right-handed hitter from Young Harris College, went opposite field an inning later with for a two-run home run with Cruz on base again.
Taylor Alvarez relieved Furber to start the sixth inning and retired all nine Mohawk Valley batters he faced.
Bryant University's Joe Michaud went five innings for his first win of the season. He allowed an unearned run when Jon Mestas reached base on an error with two outs and Will Remillard drove the run home with a double.
Marist College's Helmrich is the first Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League player to reach three home runs. His 10 runs batted in trail leader Mike Vigliarolo of Glens Falls by one.
With six strikeouts, Michaud raised his total to 16 to match teammate John Means for the league lead in that category.
Morrow had two hits for the DiamondDawgs and Wietlispach had two for the Dutchmen.
Mohawk Valley travels to Newark for a game Saturday and has a scheduled day off Sunday. The DiamondDawgs are home Monday and Tuesday against Newark and Amsterdam.

I finally got the 360 pc controller and 5 minutes with it in the original bioshock show a world of difference and I am so happy I made this purchase. It has been a long dark road, but it is finally over. Thank you.
Now, I like to think that the set up i had was pretty ridiculous because I turned a third party ps3 controller into a pc 360 controller. What are the crazy set ups you have had? pictures appreciated.

PORTLAND — Walla Walla Community College's men's golf team found itself in seventh place in a 12-school field here Monday following the opening 18 holes of the Concordia of Portland's Cavalier Classic at the Heron Lakes Golf Course.
The first round was played in somewhat foggy conditions and the tournament's second 18 holes was completed Sunday afternoon after the sun came out. Second-round team totals were not available.
Rocky Mountain College of Billings, Mont., had the team lead after 18 holes with a 281 total for its best four individual scores. The Warriors came in at 308.
Mark Segerstrom of Rocky Mountain set the early pace with a sparkling 7-under-par 65.
Walla Walla was led by Jeff Neher, who shot a first-round 76 and was "somewhere around 15th place," Warriors coach Mike Rostollan said. Mike Noreen and Max Levith matched 77s for WWCC, Daniel Morgan carded 78 and Kordd Thornton shot a non-counting 80.
While Rostollan did not have team totals or other players' scores for the second round available, he was able to report was his players shot during the afternoon round. And with the exception of Neher, who shot 77, everyone improved.
Noreen had a second-round 74, Levitch shot 76 and Morgan and Thornton matched 77s.
"I think we may have moved up a little as a team, but I am not sure of that," Rostollan said.
In women's play Monday, Ashley King of Northwest Christian was the individual medalist with a 75 and host Concordia had the team lead with a 320 total.
Walla Walla had just one woman entered in the field. Jamie Robison recorded a first-round 119.
All but two of the 12 schools participating are four-year schools, Rostollan said.
"Southwest Christian and ourselves are the only two-year schools here," he said.
Tuesday's third round was delayed due to fog and was set to start about an hour late, the Warriors coach reported.

My physical storage is just printfile sleeves in a binder with a numbered index tab for each sheet. Black and white and slide film go into the same binder in the order I put them in, so things get somewhat out of order as the slide film goes to the lab every few months while B&W is done shortly after I shoot it. I just number my rolls 2012-XXX so 2012-025 is my 25th roll this year.
I scan all my film and import it into Lightroom which is where I keyword it all. My digital library is a disaster but I keep my film scans in their own library and have managed to keep up on the keywording. I also create collections for my different projects so I can keep track of them.

J Schatz's very un-ho-hum hummingbird feeders
With their bold colors and modern look, J Schatz's new line of handmade stoneware hummingbird feeders are designed to attract the fluttering, nectar-drinking masses to your backyard.
Mon, Aug 01, 2011 at 01:55 PM
Last month, I was fortunate enough to escape from New York City and spend a weekend off the grid at a friend's family lake cabin in the Adirondak Mountains; three quality days of campfires, paddle boating, hammock-ing, splaying out in awkward positions on a diving board to work on my non-existent tan (photo evidence at the bottom of the page) and not bothering to check my BlackBerry because I didn't get a signal anyways. It was glorious.
I also spent a fair amount of time that weekend swatting away large, flying insects, mostly of the dragon and horse fly variety — a small price to pay for hanging out at a remote lakeside paradise for a couple of days.
Then there was the moment when a winged critter of substantial size descended on a friend and I as we sat, blissed-out, by the lake. Out of habit, we started swatting it away before realizing it wasn't a pesky dragonfly but a hummingbird dropping in to say hello. After we stopped all the fussing, the hummingbird hovered directly in front of us for a moment, fully revealing itself as to say "knock it off, I'm not what you think I am" before taking off.
This got me thinking about hummingbirds — something I don't regularly experience in the wilds of South Brooklyn — and, of course, hummingbird feeders. I've covered regular, seed-based bird feeders and houses in the past (check 'em out here and here) but not avian buffets that cater to these nectar-drinking beauties with crazy metabolisms. So here's a look at a newly released, standout model: J Schatz's vividly colored stoneware Hummingbird Feeders.
Designer Jim Schatz is no stranger to eye-catching modern birdfeeder design — check out the Drip Drop Bird House, Mobile Bird Feeder series, and the Egg Bird House and Feeder — but with the Hummingbird Feeder, he takes on an entirely new type of clientele with an entirely different set of needs. Inspired by the hibiscus flower and designed with the feeding habits of the Trochilidae family specifically in mind, the ceramic feeders are available in six bright shades with complementary stamens meant to attract backyard hummingbirds (Shatz recommends that first-timers go with the Red Hot model) and keep them coming back for more. Each 1 pound feeder holds 1 ½ cups of nectar (1 part sugar dissolved in 4 parts water), is easy to clean and maintain, and comes with a rust-resistant hanging wire.
Like other J Schatz product lines (including these delightful, made-to-order ceramic Poodle Butts), the Hummingbird Feeders are "Wonder-Certified" and handmade in New York, one at a time, using energy-efficient, eco-friendly production methods. Additionally, the product packaging uses 80 percent recycled content.
Head on over to the J Schatz website to view the entire, gloriously glossy Hummingbird Feeder line. Each feeder is $125 and shipping is free. Have any of your own hummingbird feeding tips that you'd like to share?

Lovely watercolor sketches, really rich color you're getting with them. I'd be interested to see more full body work of characters- you can get a lot of expressive mileage out of body language and posture.

Ok so me and my YDD were walking out of Wal-Mart........we were in the crosswalk NOTHING was coming. Well a lady in a Chevy Malibu pu;;s out of her wheelchair spot backs into the crosswalk going litterally like 20MPH and slams into my buggy (which 9month old DD was in) the buggy hits my hip almost flips over....me not thinking about being preggo takes my whole body and hold the buggy upright with the car pushing on it so it wouldnt flip over and hurt DD any worse than she already was. It was so scary she looked like a crash test dumby....he neck flew back and she hit her forehead on the handle of the cart. Well the lady jumps out and starts aying "I didnt see you I didnt see you" (WELL NO SHIT DIPSHIT YOU JUMPED IN YOUR CAR AND THREW IT IN REVERSE AND BACKED OUT WITHOUT LOOKING!!!!!!!!!) So a Wal-Mart associate saw it and called an ambulance....by this point DD is screaming Im crying were sitting on the sidewalk with a crowd of like 80 people around.....the ambulance comes and secures DD with the neck brace...not fun on a 9 month old and puts us in the ambulance and takes us to the hospital to be montired and checked out....turns out DD has a concusion and whiplash....laserations on her back and a swollen right foot.......I have a pulled muscle in my side and back and my uterus was "irritated". They sent us home....Madison has a follow up tommorow with her Ped and so do I with my OB. Now I have to deal with ALL this insurance claims and stuff. So scary!!! Im just so glad this wasnt more serious and that my precious DD and LO are ok!

Yikes. How did she know to eventually stop? It is kind of hard to miss a pregnant person and stroller/buggy if you're looking. You mentioned she was in a wheelchair spot...did she even have handicap license plates or a sign? She seems ignorant. I hope your little one is ok. It is no fun having to take care of a miserable kid while you're pregnant, I'm sure.

Other experienced staff include child development therapists, pediatric respiratory therapists, pediatric nurses, child-life specialists, dietitians, care coordinators, pharmacists, and chaplains. Our staff are specially trained to meet the emotional as well as physical needs of young patients and their families. Child-life specialists focus on helping children of all ages feel more comfortable during their hospital stay.
Parents are encouraged to talk to our staff about any questions they may have concerning their child's hospitalization. We provide education programs to help parents understand and provide for their child's health-care needs. Parents can relax and find information and support in the Ronald McDonald Family Room located near the Pediatric Intensive Care unit. Comfortable lodging is available at the nearby Wesley Inn.

PDE team on a roll with DDC Lab as store opens in SoHo.
Consolo, chairman, and Aquino, executive vice president, of Prudential Douglas Elliman's Retail Leasing and Sales Division, exclusively represented the company in a long-term lease, for a location next door to John Fluevog, whom the team also brought to the building a few years ago.
Situated at 44 Prince Street, between Mott and Mulberry Streets, the desirable 3,000-square-foot store boasts two levels of retail space in the midst of one of the country's most fashionable and trendy shopping districts.
The newest store is part of a larger national expansion plan being carried out by Ms. Consolo and Mr. Aquino, known as Soho specialists for their extensive work in reinvigorating the neighborhood. The pair are seeking additional locations for DDC Lab--which presently has stores at 427 West 14th Street, in the Meatpacking District, Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, and another Soho boutique at 7 Mercer Street--in New York, Miami, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
The shop, which will emanate a European flair and feature an outdoor cafe, is slated to open in late Spring 2006.
According to Ms. Consolo, "DDC Lab will be just steps away from other leading cutting-edge retailers such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Sigerson Morrison, Dusica Dusica and G-Star Raw, all of whom we recently brought to this hip shopping enclave. DDC's unique clothing has made it one of the hottest, most sought after labels around, ever since design icons and owners Roberto Crivello and Savania Davies-Keiller founded the company in 1992. The brand is already well established in Europe and is rapidly gaining visibility and momentum here in the states, thanks to its tailored service, innovative use of fabric and trend-setting designs."
"DDC has experienced tremendous success at its other Soho locale, so being in another trendy, high-traffic corridor is a natural progression," adds Mr. Aquino. "This will put them right in the midst of their target demographic, bringing in their loyal clientele as well as tourist traffic."

Kids & Family movie directed by Spike Jonze< read all 9 reviews
The film follows Max, a nine-year-old boy with an abundant imagination and not enough friends. Several events at home, such as his older sister's indifference when her friends crush Max's snow-fort and Max's disapproval of his mother dating again, lead Max to run away clad in his wolf costume; he eventually comes across a boat and sails to the island where the six "Wild Things" reside. Upon discovering Max, the Wild Things initially decide to eat him, until he tells them that he is a "great king with magical powers". After hearing this, the Wild Things crown Max as their new king and become reliant on him to bring harmony and happiness to the group. The film remains incredibly faithful to the book, except for the fact that, in the film, Max runs away, while in the book, a forest grows in his bedroom. Even the appearances of the Wild Things were taken straight from the book.
In terms of appearance, Where The Wild Things Are is absolutely stunning. Because it takes place on an island, there are several shots involving the water and the island's shoreline. There are also shots featuring an immense forest, and others where the characters are standing on expansive sandy plains where nothing is visible aside from the characters themselves. These scenes make the blue sky just pop. There aren't many films that wow me with the backgrounds and scenery. The Wild Things themselves are also amazing to look at. None of them can be called "beautiful" or even "attractive", though. They are, essentially, wild creatures, capable of deep cruelties and animosities. Each of them has a distinct character design, and Judith, at times, frightened even me. The animatronic suits for the Wild Things were provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Another thing that added to the film's unique look was the fact that much of it was filmed with a hand-held camera, in order to "complement the evocative, other-worldly feel of the film".
The soundtrack seems to be a bit of a mixed-bag for most people, though I personally enjoyed it very much. Karen O, the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, composed all of the songs on the soundtrack. I was disappointed that the song "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire, which was used in one of the film's previews, was not actually in the film, for that specific preview is what prompted me to see the film in the first place. Aside from that song, there are several others that actually are in the film that set the mood very nicely, though I can't remember how several of them went. Another song, "All Is Love" (the song used during the end credits and in one of the previews) took on a different meaning after I saw the film, and for a while, I couldn't watch the previews anymore when they came on TV. (I'll admit, the film made me a bit emotional, something that doesn't happen often.) In fact, that song has since been nominated for the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Song and the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
One of the things that most concerned parents was the dark tone of this film. Indeed, every single one of the six Wild Things is incredibly unhappy with their life, and with Max as their new king, they become reliant on him for change. One of the Wild Things dislikes the others, and would rather spend time with her two owl friends, another is unhappy because the aforementioned Wild Thing left the group, and another is unhappy because the others constantly belittle and ingore him. You could go as far as to say that each of the Wild Things represents a separate piece of Max's personality, or another person in his life, and so Max's encounter with these creatures is really a way for him to confront his own inner demons so that he may find peace within himself.
I have read several reviews on other websites claiming that Max is a demonic child with absolutely no redeeming qualities. While he does go on a rampage through his sister's room out of anger due to the snow-fort incident, and he does bite his mother because she would rather spend time with her new boyfriend than go up to Max's room to see his new fort, one scene in the beginning of the film, when Max's mother is working and Max lies on the floor near her desk and tells her a story, makes it obvious that he just longs for attention. He simply doesn't know how to handle his anger and frustrations. In fact, these are things that I wouldn't put past any child to do, and I think that angry parents will pick at anything to make the film look worse than it actually is. Indeed, character development plays a huge part in the film; at the film's conclusion, when Max finds it increasingly difficult to maintain his reign over the uncontrollable Wild Things, Max decides to return home, even though this means that he will have to follow the rules and learn to accept the consequences of his actions. This shows an incredible amount of maturation and personal growth, in my opinion.
Overall, I felt that Where the Wild Things Are was an absolutely beautiful film, with a message that could mean something to everyone, if they cared to look hard enough. It was one of the top-five best films that I saw in 2009, and I cannot recommend it enough to those looking for an intelligent film that looks deeper into the darknesses of childhood. The film will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray on 2 March, 2010.

ABC Stays Strong Opposite IDOL Premiere
Up against the season premiere of "American Idol," ABC earned second place on Wednesday night in Adults 18-49 (2.5/7). ABC's "Modern Family" was Wednesday's No. 1 scripted TV show across all key Adult demos (AD18-34/AD18-49/AD25-54). Opposite "Idol" from 8:00-10:00 p.m., each of ABC's comedies retained 90% or better of their week-ago Adult 18-49 ratings.
"The Middle"/"The Neighbors" (8:00-9:00 p.m.)
Delivering solid week-to-week Adult 18-49 retention against "Idol" in the 8:00 p.m. hour, ABC's "The Middle" (96% - 2.3/7 vs. 2.4/7) and "The Neighbors" (90% - 1.9/5 vs. 2.1/6) ran as the No. 1 scripted series in their respective half-hours.
- Growing week to week in Teens 12-17, "The Middle" and "The Neighbors" each delivered their highest teen ratings since November 14, 2012.
"Modern Family" (9:00-9:30 p.m.)
At 9:00 p.m., ABC's "Modern Family" held 91% of its week-earlier Adult 18-49 number (4.3/11 vs. 4.7/12) and beat out its nearest scripted competition in the half-hour by 59% (CBS' "Criminal Minds" = 2.7/7).
"Suburgatory" (9:30-10:00 p.m.)
In the 9:30 p.m. half-hour, ABC's "Suburgatory" retained 92% of its Adult 18-49 (2.4/6 vs. 2.6/7) number week to week.
"Nashville" (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
Building its Adult 18-49 audience for its 4th straight original telecast, ABC's "Nashville" ran neck-and-neck with CBS' "CSI" for the 10 o'clock hour's lead in Adults 18-49 (pacing within 1-tenth of a rating point and tied in audience share - 2.2/6 vs. 2.3/6). The ABC freshman drama beat out "CSI" to win The Hour among Adults 18-34 and key Women (W18-34/W18-49).
- Gaining week to week in Adults 18-49 (+5%), "Nashville" delivered its highest rating since its debut telecast on October 10, 2012.
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 47% currently, from 43% at the same point in 2012.

nVidia 1.0-8762 driver for Quadro FX 1100: not attaching to the kernel?
Hi! I have recently adopted a Red Hat Enterprise 3.0 WS system with a nVidia Quadro FX 1100 card installed. Originally the OpenGL components were not working correctly, so I updated the the nVidia drivers (running the install program from the init 3 text based screen).
This worked very well, and OpenGL then worked fine. However, whenever I reboot, the driver setting returns to the generic vesa setting after generating the following errors in /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
NVIDIA(0): failed to load NVIDIA kernel module
screens found, but non have a usable config
Fata Server error:
no screens found
I've looked through various forums, and it seems that the nVidia driver is not attaching to the kernel during bootup. The problem is that I don't know how to make it attach during bootup, or where this would be done. Much of this is a crash course in linux operation for me.
As it stands, if I need to reboot for some reason, I have to reinstall the driver to get my OpenGL back. Obviously this isn't a feasible solution. I could upload my /etc/X11/XConfig, but currently it's in the working state.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Re: nVidia 1.0-8762 driver for Quadro FX 1100: not attaching to the kernel?
Please generate and post an nvidia-bug-report.log immediately after experiencing this problem.
Re: nVidia 1.0-8762 driver for Quadro FX 1100: not attaching to the kernel?
Thanks very much for getting back to me. After experiencing the problem for several days and several reboots/power-downs, the problem has seemed to remedy itself. The last install of the driver, for whatever reason, "took", creating all the correct settings permanently.
At least, all seems well. I've had several reboots/power-downs and every time it comes back up with OpenGL and the driver installed and working.
Truth be told, I'm not sure what happened. My conf files look correct now, and OpenGL works.
Thanks again!
