Using SMART to accurately predict when a hard drive is about to die November 12, 2014 at 11:47 am
SMART, which first started to appear in consumer hard drives about 10 years ago, is a brilliant concept — it's meant to tell you if a hard drive is about to die — but in practice, I think we can all agree that SMART has always been rather underwhelming. Now, we finally have some data that might let you use SMART to predict drive death.
Samsung 840 Evo has serious performance bug, fix coming October 15 (updated) October 1, 2014 at 1:24 pm

Why are some hard drives more reliable than others? September 23, 2014 at 11:20 am
Back in January, we wrote a story about which company makes the most reliable hard drives. At the time, Hitachi came out ahead of Western Digital and Seagate by a significant margin. Now, with new data from our friends at Backblaze who have 34,881 hard drives spinning their little hearts out as you read this sentence, we're going to try and investigate the matter of why there's so much variation between the reliability of the big three hard drive makers.
Western Digital unveils world's first 10TB hard drive: Helium-filled, shingled recording September 10, 2014 at 1:30 pm
In what can only be described as the hard drive equivalent of Game of Thrones, Western Digital's HGST has announced the world's first 10-terabyte hard drive: the helium-filled Ultrastar He10. This comes just a few weeks after Seagate announced initial availability of its 8TB air-filled hard drive, which at the time was the largest hard drive in the world. There's no word on pricing yet but Western Digital says, somewhat unbelievably, that the 10TB drive will have the lowest cost-per-gigabyte and power consumption-per-gigabyte of any drive on the market.
The best storage mediums of all time June 6, 2014 at 12:02 pm
A few weeks back, we reflected on some of the worst storage mediums of all time. From reel-to-reel to HD-DVD, those deplorable storage devices induced groans and eye-rolls across the board. As something of a palette cleanser, let's take a moment to commemorate the best storage mediums we've ever seen.
SanDisk's collosal 4TB SSD: Does this mean SSDs will soon provide more storage than hard drives? May 5, 2014 at 10:26 am
SanDisk announced a 4TB SSD last week — does that mean mega-NAND drives are right around the corner? Unfortunately, not — at least, not without four and five-digit price tags attached.

"This misunderstood moment--is essential to what it means to be Christian"
The Transfiguration of Christ is one of the most impressive and mysterious miracles of Christ, and yet one of the least known and understood biblical events. Yet, it spawned a long tradition of spiritual ascent and contemplative prayer. This book examines the Transfiguration in the context of the Gospel, Christian spirituality, and the traditions of the church.
Andreopoulos explains the Transfiguration--the revelation of the full divinity of Christ in front of his disciples--as a continuous "event." He also explains threads that are common in the event of the Transfiguration and in other parts of the gospels, such as "the voice of the Father" heard first at John's baptism of Jesus. "This Is My Beloved" is a book that bridges East and West in its pursuit of understanding the power and meaning of what transfiguration meant then, and now.

Online sharing helps hackers sharpen 'spears'
SAN FRANCISCO – Sharing on social media helps hackers sharpen "spear phishing" attacks they use to trick their way into computers, security experts said Monday.
Spear phishing refers to individualizing deceptive messages sent to people in order to trick them into clicking on links or opening files booby-trapped with viruses.
Public posts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Foursquare and other online venues give hackers fodder to mimic the way people write and the words they use, said Ulisses Albuquerque of the security firm Trustwave.
"I don't think people have any idea what kind of insight that gives to a potential hacker," Albuquerque told AFP.
He and colleague Joaquim Espinhara are at a premier Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas this week to present a talk titled "Using Online Activity As Digital Fingerprints To Create A Better Spear Phisher."
The Trustware security consultants created a software tool that "fingerprints" the way people communicate by analyzing online posts.
The tool scrutinizes posts at social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to ascertain writing styles, right down to hashtags added to indicate subjects of online posts.
A hacker unable to break into a company's computer network could write a convincing email pretending to be from a friend of an employee and include an attachment or link that, once clicked, unleashes malicious code.
"Say a CEO has a Twitter or LinkedIn account and I am able to see those posts," Albuquerque said.
"Then I could produce content that looks like it came from him and send it to his staff, who will be less suspicious of clicking a link."
He said the Trustwave-developed tool was not designed to extrapolate insights into people's conduct or personalities, but that such observations could be made if desired.
"Absolutely, you can show what the people posting are like," Albuquerque said.
The tool provides "spear phishers" with outlines for creating messages likely to hook prey.
It is intended for "ethical hackers" such as security professionals working with companies or organizations to find and patch weak spots in computer network defenses, according to Albuquerque.
It can also be used to help prove when posts claiming to be written by someone are bogus, he said.

Catalan cream and cat tongues
A perfect combination for two complementary recipes

Catalan cream First, dissolve corns flour in cold milk (approximately a half glass), then put the remaining milk in a saucepan with lemon peel, 50 g of granulated sugar and cinnamon (if you decided to put it; cinnamon is optional because not everybody like it, but cinnamon will give to cream a very special taste). Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, then remove the pan from the heat. At this point, in a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the remaining sugar, then add corn flour dissolved in cold milk. When they are well mixed, add (stirring) the mixture of hot milk, filtered through a strainer. Now put the mixture in a pot (I recommend you to use the same pan, so you avoid dirtying another pot) and bring it to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly; let it cook for about two minutes and then remove it from heat. You should now have a smooth cream. Pour the cream, still warm, in 4 small oven dishes and, once cooled, put them in the refrigerator. When serving, sprinkle the cream with brown sugar and use a torch to caramelize sugar. If you don't have this tool, similar to a small blowtorch, you could put the little oven dishes under the oven grill for a few minutes to allow sugar to caramelize. To prevent the cold Catalan cream cold to "go crazy" when you put it in the oven, although for a few minutes, put the oven dishes in a larger container with ice or cold water in it. Cat tongues Beat the butter with a spoon, gradually adding icing sugar until the butter consistency is creamy (very soft). Then gradually add vanilla extract (or grated lemon peel), flour and the egg whites at room temperature, one at a time (don't worry if you put them all together: pour them in little by little), up to full amalgamation. Preheat oven to 390° F (200° C). Now put the mixture in a pastry bag with a nozzle of 5-6 mm in diameter and form with it sticks about 5-6 mm long and about 1 cm wide on a nonstick baking pan or a "normal" one covered with parchment paper. Be sure to leave a few centimeters between a stick and a

Sure, it's nice that the actors sing their own numbers—Meryl Streep has a fab set of pipes, and the fact that Pierce Brosnan sings like a bullfrog in heat is used to adorable effect. But without the originals' multiply dubbed wall of sound, these ABBA tunes only get their due in the all-too-rare big production numbers, when Mamma Mia! finally rocks as a tirelessly nostalgic pub crawl through a narrow street of 1970s pop history. Otherwise, it's little more than droopy ditties draped around a threadbare plot about the daughter (Amanda Seyfried) of a single mom (Streep) who secretly invites three men in a boat (Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard)—each of whom might be her father—to her Greek island wedding. For all its half-hearted stabs at catering to the transatlantic youth market, Mamma Mia! is a (Shirley) valentine to fiftysomething, we're-not-done-yet broads. Three of them—director Phyllida Lloyd, screenwriter Catherine Johnson, and co-producer Judy Craymer—successfully courted that underserved demo in the hit stage version, but they haven't a clue how to make a movie. A mugging Streep is eclipsed by Christine Baranski, stealing the show in a coyly filthy dance number with a corps of pectorally gifted young blades. In moments like these, Mamma Mia! takes enchanting ownership of what it is: a stage musical that made a big ol' heap of money, shoved onto the big screen to make a whole lot more.

Build Log
The Dumas Jolly Jay
Hello Friends,
I've followed this forum for quite a while but have apparently never posted, as I'm quite the novice to boat building and have never really had anything useful to say. But, I figured today would be a good day to show you the fruits of my 3-yrs on-and-off labor (and give a boat review). I've included some recent pictures--sorry, no pics from the early hull build. I'll post another picture when everything gets buttoned up and put back together. And I'll try to find a real camera to take the pic with, and have a decent background, rather than my dirty shop. The booms are off and the work deck is in paint (again) right now.
A caveat: This boat should NOT take 3 years to build! I work(ed) on it in my very precious spare time--the whole 'applying to medical school' thing is a time consuming ordeal!
Some notes about her:
F/V Sarah J (named after my sister)
Home port: Cordova, AK
24" x 8", 4" draft.
Scratch built tower, booms, lights, working radar, top-deck railings, windlass.
Gross: ~10lbs, Net: ~5lbs
Several years ago I bought the Dumas Jolly Jay to start off in the world of kit boat building. I bought it because A) I love commercial fishing boats and B) it was cost effective (read: cheap). The kit was purchased through the LHS-Hobbytown-in Utah. I flew it home with me and built the hull that summer. A few notes about building it:
-I wouldn't call it a "beginner" build, but it's not quite "intermediate," either, at least by Billings Boats standards--you should have some familiarity with balsa work and have some basic woodcraft tools: micro saws, rasps, sandpaper of various grits, combi square, micro plane, razor knives, etc. The layout was relatively simple, IIRC, particularly for those who have done a plank-on-frame before. The build notes are decent, but in some places are lacking and require some assumptions.
-The whole "cheap" thing came back to bite me a few times. The mahogany ply is not the best quality, and the laser-cut parts definitely needed some finish work. The fit and finish of some parts was not good. The drive shaft had a slight bend in it (I pretty much corrected this). The included motor is not the greatest, but it works. The blow-molded wheelhouse also requires some finish and fit work. I suggest not using the ply wheelhouse floorboard they included (too much finish work needed for a good fit). Just use .04 styrene sheet.
-I decided to convert my generic JJ to a limit [<58'] Alaska purse seiner. I used the hull, original wheelhouse, bollards, and radar, but everything else was scratch-built. Most of the above-deck parts were low quality and not usable.
-Dumas recommends fiberglassing the finished hull, which i did with Great Planes lightweight glass and Bondo resin. It is incredibly durable with the fiberglass. Fiberglass it ASAP as the balsa hull is incredibly sensitive to...everything. Also, resin coat the entire inside of the hull for extra strength and waterproof-ness (something I didn't do but wish I had--I only painted it).
-It is very important to take your time on the fiberglass and Bondo filling work. A shoddy job here WILL show up in primer and paint. This was my first time with fiberglass, so I burned up a lot of primer looking for minor blemishes in the Bondo work.
-All of my paint work was done with Rust-Oleum rattle cans. Surprisingly, it came out alright, except for one area where I was in a rush to lay down the topcoat and it sagged (not really noticeable). The included pics show the windows painted in the wheelhouse; they look rough because I took the pictures immediately after I pulled the tape off.
-Once the hull is finished, crib the boat well with a solid stand. This will save much paint damage and frustration while you finish the topdeck. For the longest time I used rolled up T-shirts and towels, but it often slipped around when I "got on it" with a wrench or screwstick. This summer I finally cribbed it up right and it does not move. It makes it SO much easier to work on. I should've taken LtDoc's (over on RCU) advice much sooner and correctly built the stand early on.
-Don't be in too much of a rush to run the boat for the maiden voyage. I was, and LSS: forgot to lock down the hatch, got in some heavy wind, and FLOP! over she went. Luckily I salvaged her with only a small crack where water seeped into the top deck. New Rules: Don't sail in heavy winds. And put the batts in a tray so they can't shift. And lock down the hatch. And ballast it correctly.
-I originally scratched a tubular tower about 16" tall and painted it the grey hull color. After paying closer attention to the Prince William Sound seiners, I noticed the trend for newer boats is a squared tower in raw aluminum. I tore out the old boom and tower and scratched the new tower from balsa and Bondo about a month ago. I also added to outrigger booms (not shown in pics) which are used to support the main boom and hold the purse ring hook.
Overall it has been a fun build and good intro to scale building. It is most definitely not up to par with most of the boats I've seen on this forum, but it runs alright and is good enough for a first build. I'm still working on little details; I scratched a seine skiff but trashed it because the lines are all wrong; maybe I'll scratch another one before school starts.
Any suggestions are welcome. Any useful spare parts you would like to send me are also welcome

Great job, Woodstock!
I plan to build my JJ as an AK Limit Seiner as well... The wheel house will be scratch built to look more like those seen on Delta built boats. Looking forward to it.

VERY NICE AND WELCOME TO THE BOARD! Seena acouple of these built and they are good little boats.
My girl freind won one of these kits at the regatta a couple of weeks ago, so I will have a new prodject to build here this winter ( along with several others ). My plan is to modify it as well as the basic look of the JJ just doesn't look correct to me. Going to do some similar things to the mast. Will be modifying the house and some of the hull. Built the big brother version in the Thompson Trawler and have been thinking of doing another as I like the seiners of the PNW.

I didn't think the JJ had the right hull lines either; many of the seiners have a totally different wheelhouse design and a different forward hull. I was very unsure of my scratch building abilities going into this job and didn't want to heavily modify the stock house. A few boats I looked at in PWS and online (The F/V St. Zita, in particular) showed me that I could get away with the original house with few, if any, mods to make it a legit purse seiner. Though most likely the St. Zita and others in that config. are converted cod boats.

Woodstock, Great build. Here are a few pictures of Keith's and my Thompson Trawlers. Keith's got me started and the boat isn't finished yet but about 95 %. I wish Dumas would bring back the Thompson Trawler even if it had a plastic hull. I have many models that started with a plastic hull, mainly imports, and never had a problem with them. Jerryj98501

Hey Everyone,
A couple more notes from recent experience:
>Cheesecloth and RIT cloth dye (available at Wal-Mart in the laundry detergent section) makes great looking nets. Use a bucket to dye it though; the lady of the house will kill you if you do it in her washing machine or sink. The black dye is particularly nasty stuff and will stain everything in its way!
The Marco ship accessory website showing a schematic for a puretic power block. The sheave is 28", so scale accordingly.
I'll post addn'l pix when time allows.

For my power block, I used the rim from an r/c airplane tire. The ribs in side the hub and on the hub made the correck appeaence of the power block. Used wood and brass for the rest of the build. This was of course for when it was built back in the late 80's early 90's.

I've been killing myself trying to either find or create something that looks remotely like a block. I'll hit hobbytown tomorrow and see what I can find. I need a sheave 1/3" x 1" for a correct scale look. Everything else I can scratch, but without a lathe, it's extremely difficult to make something round like a sheave.

You might also check out the screen door/curtain hardware section of your local hardware store... some of the plastic hardware there looks very much like the part you are looking for... and the right size for the JJ...
EDIT Oooops, I was thinking pot block, not the power block for hauling nets.

Woodstock--if you need some detail photos of something, let me know and I can always go down to the harbor and get some shots of the boats that are still here.
I used a lot of unusuall items on th TT build that just looked correct with a little change here and there. ( ping pong balls, cake decorating items, usuall pins with round heads, ect..)

Re: Custom Engine Panel Design
Regarding tachometer senders and tachometers:
Don't know about the 1GM10 but for my 2QM15 the tachometer sender is a flywheel sensor and is located on the engine block just forward of the transmission on the port side. It has two male terminals on it.
For speed sensing using this type of sensor the tachometer used must be matched to the number of teeth on the flywheel. My engine has 114 teeth on the flywheel. For OPer: 1GM10 has 97 teeth.
My memory is that the stock number of the meters have the no. of teeth they are designed to work with as part of the number. Also the meter face has the number of flywheel teeth it is designed to work with engraved on the meter face.
For my Yanmar (and others) the alternator output can used for tachometer sensing IF it has an alternator fitted with an "R" or "N" terminal. VDO meters can be used in this application. To match the VDO tach with the alternator you have to know the number of electromagnetic poles of the alternator and buy a tach designed to be used with that number of poles (frequency matching the pulsing waveform coming out of the alternator).
On Yachting and Boating World Forums (www dot ybw dot com) one member mentions converting an alternator for use with a tach for a 1GM10 and might be worth a look for those interested. The thread is "Recalibrating Yanmar P116 Tachometer to P97 - Possible?"

UCI to create hotline for riders to report doping
Updated: November 13, 2012, 3:20 PM ETAssociated Press
AIGLE, Switzerland -- The International Cycling Union has pledged to create a confidential hotline for riders to report "issues or concerns relating to doping" in the wake of the Lance Armstrong affair.
UCI President Pat McQuaid made the promise in an open letter on the organization's website.
McQuaid says riders can receive reduced penalties in exchange for cooperation, though amnesties are currently prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Code.
Former teammates of Armstrong who ...

The first main event for the initial Thompson Boxing Promotions show 14 years ago nearly didn't happen.
"We didn't have a main event," general manager and matchmaker Alex Camponovo said. "Carlos Bojorquez had a fight at Pechanga that weekend and he didn't fight. Rosember Palacios was in town. We called his manager and he said he was ready and available."
Bojorquez-Palacios ended in a seventh-round KO for Bojorquez.
"We had a full house," Camponovo rememebered. "The fans didn't know that we were 30 minutes away from canceling the event."
Friday night, the Orange-based promotional company will celebrate its 14th year of shows with a six-fight card from the Doubletree Hotel (222 N. Vineyard Drive) in Ontario.
"Our biggest challenge has been to keep fans interested," Camponovo said.
The fans have responded by turning out month after month, with more than 225,000 over the years.
"We've had the ability to build fighters and not putting them against opponents just for the sake to move them up," Camponovo said. "We've had the chance to turn prospects into champions and we've been able to make a little bit of a dent in the history of boxing."
Friday's card is a championship tripleheader, including Garden Grove's Jose Roman (16-1-1, 12 KOs) meeting Luis Solis (12-2-4, 10 KOs) for a vacant regional lightweight title in the main event.
Light flyweight Sindy Amador (11-1) defends her IBFA title against Maria Suarez (8-0-1) and Juan Reyes (10-1-2) meets Isaac Zarate (7-1) for the vacant NABA junior super bantamweight title.
Three other fights will be on the card.
Tickets start at $40 and can be purchased by calling 714-935-0900 or online at ThompsonBoxing.com.MARQUEZ-ALVARADO
Juan Manuel Marquez's career received its first big push when he fought under the Forum Boxing banner in the 1990s.
He quickly emerged from unknown status, going 12-0 at the arena.
Saturday, the 40-year-old Marquez (55-7-1, 40 KOs) returns to the newly refurbished building to face Mike Alvarado (34-2, 23 KOs).

An Oneonta-based developer likens the former Roosevelt Elementary School to a tarnished ring - if polished, it could shine.
Murray Gould, president of Port City Preservation, described Wednesday to members of the city's Urban Renewal Agency how he thinks he could help make that happen for the Cornhill building.
Gould said the plan that makes the most sense is to place between 50 to 60 market-rate apartments in the building with the possibility of a community-based space in the gymnasium.
He suggested having the agency administer the project, as long as it hires expert project managers, architects and engineers, Gould said.
And it would take state and federal tax credits, a low-interest mortgage and a solid business plan to make the $8 to $10 million project work, he said.
"It's like a puzzle with all these different pieces," Gould said. "These old buildings look terrible, but they could be done."
On Wednesday, the Urban Renewal Agency board passed a unanimous resolution authorizing its chairman, Robert Sullivan, to work with Gould on a preliminary business plan and present it a coming meeting.
"We really want to be doing urban development projects that make a difference," Sullivan said of the agency. "I think we're on the right road right now."
The Urban Renewal Agency took over the long-vacant building, which sits between Taylor and Brinckerhoff avenues, for back taxes in 2000.
Neighbors have long complained it is an eyesore and crime magnet. Many have also resisted prior proposals that it be turned into subsidized apartments.
Gould, who has no formal contract with the city but could be hired if the project moves forward, emphasized that he's only proposing one idea for the site.
Other ideas include seeking private developers - which the city has been trying to do for years - or demolishing the building, which would likely cost more than $1 million and leave an unsightly lot, Gould said.
The first thing to do, Gould said, is a study to determine the feasibility of a project. That study would likely come to about $40,000 but could also be a guide for private developers if the city decides not to pursue the project itself.
Gould, who showed a slide-show featuring similar properties he has redeveloped, said the school could even provide income for the agency in the future.
Local architect David Bonacci attended the meeting and acknowledged the building's worn-down appearance. But after touring the building, he said it is salvageable.
"It is structurally sound and capable of a rehabilitation project," Bonacci said.
Page 2 of 2 - Council members who attended the meeting, both of whom are on the agency board, said the idea inspires hope for the languishing property but also requires careful study.
"If it would help the city, then let's do it," said council member Dick Lawler, R-6. "But we've got to have the funding in place."
Council member Joan Scalise, D-4, said these types of projects are necessary to stabilize neighborhoods.effort described a daunting but doable way in which the former Roosevelt School in Cornhill could be redeveloped Wednesday.

Comments on other similar trimarans are also welcome.
Thanks, Richard
I have sailed on Corsairs. My experience has been that a Dragonfly is harder to find than a unicorn, something lots of brokers will agree with.
Your best bet is to hitch a ride on one or more of these boats. This should not be hard to do if you are located in Southern California. There are many of them sailing over that area. It is not uncommon for the owners to single hand them.
The question you may really want answered is could you sail a tri off the coast of Southern California single handed. Going out on one would help you answer this question.
To address your second post Fboats are not cheap and a Dragonfly is probably even more expensive if you can find one. This is a function of supply and demand in the market.

12,500 jobs await typhoon victims; Aquino to visit Bohol
MANILA, Philippines—Malacañang declared Tuesday that relief operations in Leyte and other provinces battered by Supertyphoon Yolanda had "stabilized" and announced that the Department of Labor was offering at least 12,500 jobs to typhoon victims aimed at hastening reconstruction and rehabilitation.
Palace media relations officer Rey Marfil also announced that President Benigno Aquino III is scheduled to visit Bohol on Thursday to check on rehabilitation efforts there, more than a month after Bohol, Cebu and neighboring provinces were rocked by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake.
The President has visited Bohol twice since the earthquake, which caused extensive damage there.
The President's trip to Bohol comes after Malacañang declared that relief operations in Leyte and neighboring areas had "stabilized," a situation that would allow the government to focus on "recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction efforts."
Up to 12,500 jobs would be up for grabs for typhoon victims as part of the "emergency employment program" covering "clearing and cleaning activities" by the Department of Labor and Employment.
"As the people of Leyte and Samar begin to resettle and rebuild their homes, they are now being mobilized to participate in the reconstruction efforts under the cash-for-work or food-for-work programs," Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma said Tuesday.
Mr. Aquino first visited Bohol on Oct. 16 soon after the earthquake, which also hit Cebu. But he flew back to Manila on the same day because of his scheduled visit to South Korea the following day.
Amid criticism for proceeding with the two-day state visit despite the calamity back home, the President returned to Bohol on Oct. 23 and spent the night in a tent. Mr. Aquino did so to show his "solidarity" with earthquake victims, the Palace announced then.
"Like a good father, the President reminded the residents of Bohol that the sooner they return home, the sooner their lives will return to [normal]," Coloma said.
As part of the rehabilitation efforts for typhoon victims, the Department of Public Works and Highways began constructing bunkhouses in Tacloban, Palo and Ormoc in Leyte, and Basey and Marabut in Samar last weekend.
Coloma said construction was also under way in Guiuan, Hernani and Borongan in Eastern Samar as of Monday.
"At least 2,400 families will be resettled in this first phase," he said.
"In coordination with the local governments, DPWH has begun site preparation in identified resettlement areas to facilitate transfer to the bunkhouses to be completed."

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
How our teams fared this weekend
There was a moment in the first quarter of the New York Giants' 21-3 rout of the Minnesota Vikings at Detroit's Ford Field (the game had to be postponed and the locations changed after a blizzard collapsed the Metrodome roof) when Minnesota quarterback Tarvaris Jackson had to come out of the game, and so in, briefly, went back-up Joe Webb (who went two for five with eight total yards). Jackson was only in because the starter—a guy you may have heard of named Brett Favre—was inactive with a shoulder injury (thereby ending his record-by-a-whole-lot streak of 297 consecutive regular season starts). Meanwhile, Sage Rosenfels, the Jewish quarterback who had been Minnesota's third-stringer until right before the beginning of this season, could only watch wistfully from the opposite sideline, where he was the Giants' back-up, and wait for the game when Jints starter Eli Manning—whose current consecutive regular season game streak stands at an even 100, putting him sixth on the all-time quarterbacks list—needs to take a series off. Only then will Rosenfels get the snaps he was denied last year for Minnesota and this year, so far, for New York.
Manning, who got his top two receivers, Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith, back from injuries that had kept them out for several weeks, had only a middling day: 22 for 37, fewer than 200 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions. But it didn't matter, because the Giants D came out to play, accomplishing four sacks and one interception and holding Vikings superstar back Adrian Peterson to merely 26 yards on the ground. And it didn't matter because the Giants' running game, on the backs of Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs, is exploding at just the right time: The two combined for two touchdowns, zero fumbles (important for the turnover-prone Bradshaw), and 219 yards on only 25 carries (do the math: That's an absolutely sick 8.8 yards per carry). With the Green Bay Packers' surprising loss to the Detroit Lions, conveniently playing away from home on a weekend when their field was in demand, the Giants, 9-4, are in the playoffs' driver's seat, whether through the second wild card slot or, possibly, the NFC East championship. There they are currently tied with the Philadelphia Eagles, who, having beaten the Giants, currently hold the tiebreaker. Next Monday night, the two teams meet again at the Meadowlands.
Guess who's not going to win the NFC East or make the playoffs? The Washington Redskins, who lost, at home, to the young, scrappy Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 17-16, after driving down the field, scoring a touchdown in the final seconds … and then screwing up, believe it or not, the extra point. Brian Orakpo, the Skins' stand-out pass-rusher and the NFL leader in holding calls drawn, was blatantly held on the play when the Bucs threw for their final touchdown. It was a horrendously officiated game. But still one the Skins should have won—kicker Graham Gano missed one field goal under 40 yards and another under 30—or at least forced to overtime.
At this point, it is less useful to talk about the Skins' prospects for the rest of the year—since the best they can hope for is a .500 record (and I wouldn't bet on that)—and more to discuss the future. The good news is that that future could well include QB Donovan McNabb, who, playing with that horrible offensive line and bargain-basement pass-catching corps, threw for two touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 100.7 passer rating. McNabb, who has had problems getting through all 16 games in the past, is on pace for his first 4,000-yard season, and has now thrown a touchdown in 12 consecutive games—a personal best for a quarterback who was easily one of the five best in the League during the past decade. That future also could include a running game: Young back Ryan Torain rushed for an exemplary 172 yards, proving there may be something to Coach Mike Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme, which is designed to break out in the second half of the season when defenses are tired, after all. Beyond that, all the Skins need is three to four new offensive linemen, young replacements for their aging linebackers, and a better defensive secondary. Oh, and at least one elite pass-catcher. The problem with the Redskins' perpetual expectations for greatness is that it does not allow for true rebuilding years. But hopefully, as reality has set in, this can constitute something of one. Which is important, because every team needs those 6-10 rebuilding years.
Every team, that is, except the New England Patriots. In retrospect, it appears that last year—when their defense had no personality, and their offense had a diminished Tom Brady, a lackluster running game, and Randy Moss stretching the field so that Wes Welker could catch eight zillion throws—was their rebuilding year (think of Bill Belichick trading talented defensive lineman Richard Seymour for the Oakland Raiders' first-round draft pick in the coming draft): They went *only* 10-6, and *only* won the AFC East and lost in the first round of the playoff. They have since gone young and small and quick, on offense and defense; and Brady has decided that the knee injury that killed his 2008 season actually didn't spell the end of the galactic phase of his career. On Sunday, the Pats, 11-2, defeated the 9-4 Chicago Bears, in Chicago, in the snow, 36-7. (They also missed an extra point, proving it can happen to anyone.) 33 of those points came in the first half. In the past five games, when opponents have been playoff contenders like the Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers (away) and the Indianapolis Colts and New York Jets (at home), they are 5-0 and have not turned over the ball once. On Sunday, Brady threw for 369 yards and two touchdowns. In the snow. His line over the past five games? 118-165, 1572 yards, 15 touchdowns (plus a rushing touchdown in Pittsburgh), zero interceptions. QB rating: 158.3. And there is no 158.4.
Here is how the Patriots, up 27-0, ended the first half:
They are easily the all-around favorite as we head into Week 15.
Our record: 25-14.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin confirmed here on Friday that the objectionable article against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa is no longer on the Sri Lankan Defence Ministry site. "The moment we heard about this, the government of India has acted with alacrity, we immediately activated diplomatic channels, our high commission in Sri Lanka took this matter up immediately and we were assured that action would be taken forthwith. Subsequently I can now confirm to you that action has been taken and that objectionable article is no longer on that website," said Akbaruddin.
The article had reportedly criticised Jayalalithaa for writing frequently to Prime Minister Modi on issues related to Sri Lanka and the fishermen's issue. Earlier today, the Sri Lankan Defence Ministry had tendered an unqualified apology to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Jayalalithaa over it.
The apology from Colombo came after political parties in Tamil Nadu set aside their differences on Friday to strongly back Jayalalithaa after the website carried an article critical of her, with an accompanying graphic image of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A political furor arose hours after the article was published. The ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) and Tamil outfits in various parts of Tamil Nadu staged protests, one was also held today outside Sri Lankan deputy High Commission.
NDA allies called on India to severe ties with Sri Lanka despite the offending article being removed from the website. Jayalalithaa urged Modi to demand an unconditional apology from the Sri Lankan government over the issue. The Tamil Nadu BJP unit said publishing of such a derogatory article in an official website was not acceptable.
The party's state general secretary, Vanathy Srinivasan, said New Delhi should summon the Sri Lankan envoy and convey its objections to the article in the strongest possible manner. The opposition Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) also criticized Colombo, saying that the article mocking Jayalalithaa's writing of letters to Prime Minister Modi on issues involving Sri Lanka, should be seen as "cheap".

text: You know how I said I'd watch a bunch more horror movies? I may have said something that I could not accomplish. I'm going to attempt to get through a bunch this final week though, because it is when a lot of the classics I have lined up will be seen. I might have to bail on some of the movies I was going to rewatch, as well. However, for now, I did fit in some more modern horror and was pleasantly surprised by how good one of the films ended up being.

Love Mitts

Tell your valentine just how much you love them with this fun and affordable gift, sure to warm the receiver's heart and hands. The idea of this valentine is to present the recipient with a pair of connected gloves or mittens that when worn with arms stretched outwards, revels a special message to displays just how much you love them.
- Mittens
- Matching Yarn to Connect
- Yarn Needle
- Craft Felt
- Hot Glue Gun/Fabric Glue
- Cardstock and Pen for Note
- Tissue Paper
The first thing we did to construct this craft was to cut out a couple different images from craft felt which you will apply to a pair of store bought gloves or mittens. We actually created two different styles; a set of strawberries for a more girlish pair and a pair with pirate, skull and crossbones for a boyish look.
Using a hot glue gun (although you could use fabric glue), we applied our felt-art right to the top of the mittens—one image per mitten (make sure you face your gloves in opposite directions so you don't end up with your art on the wrong side of the glove).
The next thing we wanted to do was to connect the mittens together.
Since we were making valentines for the toddler variety, my four year old stood with his arms stretched outward (like the letter T) as I measured and cut a piece of yarn to match that length (from finger to finger). We used a large needle to lace the yarn through each bottom end of the glove. We then we knotted off the yarn on the inside of each glove, cutting off any excess yarn. When my son put on the gloves at this point, the yarn stretched across his chest from wrist to wrist.
To finish up, we added a special message to each palm side of the glove. On the more girly pair, the first mitten said, "I Love You…"
and second said, "This Much!" "I Love You This Much," when read together. The first message on our piraty gloves said, "You're Worth More in Gold…" while the second glove said, "Than Me Scurvy Arms Can Stretch." So when read together, "Your Worth More in Gold Than Me Scurvy Arms Can Stretch."
The last thing we did was wrap our gift in tissue paper and yarn tie a simple tag to the top.
If this Valentines Goody is going to a child, the yarn could stay attached to the gloves and be used to string through the inside of a coat or light weight jacket to stop a runaway mitt dead in its tracks!
Otherwise the yarn can be snipped off.
And there you have it, LOVE MITTS!
