There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for a half hour. Then a big trouble making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, & just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry." "No, it's not that," the man replies, wiping his tears, "This day is the worst of my life. First, I oversleep & I go in late to my office. My outraged boss fires me. When I leave the building to go to my car, I find out it was stolen. The police say they can do nothing. I get a cab to go home, & when I get out, I remember I left my wallet. The cab driver just drives away. I go inside my house where I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave my home, come to this bar, & just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up & drink my poison."
Mother superior tells two new nuns that they have to paint their room without getting any paint on their clothes. One nun suggests to the other, "Hey, let's take all our clothes off, fold them up, and lock the door." So they do this, and begin painting their room. Soon they hear a knock at the door. They ask, "Who is it?" "Blind man!" The nuns look at each other and one nun says, "He's blind, so he can't see. What could it hurt?" They let him in. The blind man walks in and says, "Hey, nice tits. Where do you want me to hang the blinds?"
Dad: "Say 'daddy.'"
Baby: "Mommy!"

Baby: "F*ck you!"
Mom: "Who taught you to say that?"
Baby: "Daddy!"
Dad: "Son of a b*tch."
On their way to get married, a young Catholic couple is involved in a fatal car accident. The couple found themselves sitting outside the Pearly Gates waiting for St. Peter to process them into Heaven. While waiting, they began to wonder: Could they possibly get married in Heaven? When St. Peter showed up, they asked him. St. Peter said, "I don't know. This is the first time anyone has asked. Let me go find out,'" and he left. The couple sat and waited, and waited. Two months passed and the couple were still waiting. While waiting, they began to wonder what would happen if it didn't work out; could you get a divorce in heaven? After yet another month, St. Peter finally returned, looking somewhat bedraggled. "Yes," he informed the couple, "You can get married in Heaven." "Great!" said the couple, "But we were just wondering, what if things don't work out? Could we also get a divorce in Heaven?" St. Peter, red-faced with anger, slammed his clipboard onto the ground. "What's wrong?" asked the frightened couple. "OH, COME ON!," St. Peter shouted, "It took me three months to find a priest up here! Do you have any idea how long it'll take me to find a lawyer?"
A 3 years old boy sits near a pregnant woman.

Pregnant woman: I have a baby inside me.

Posted in: Search Engine Tips, Your Website
If you have ever felt a banner is following you around the internet, then there is a good chance it probably is! Thanks to Google, re-marketing is now available to any advertiser and it is proving to be hugely successful. The basic premise is very straight forward; a visitor arrives on your website, you drop a cookie, if they leave without buying from you, your advert is shown to them on other websites based on that cookie.
Re-marketing is ideal for advertisers with smaller budgets because you are preaching to the almost converted. From our own experiences, cli ick through rates are more than double that of a standard banner campaign, cost per click is much lower, and conversions are higher, which then leads to a lower CPA. What's not to love?
For the purposes of this guide I am going to go through the steps of creating a re-marketing campaign for our domain name products. Note: Re-marketing is only available if you are advertising through the Google Display Network (previously called the content network). It is not available through the search network.
Creating your list
Google's re-marketing is essentially based around generating lists of visitors. By adding tracking to your target pages you create a list of visitors who will then be served your ads on other websites. Because I want to target visitors who are most likely to be interested in buying domain names from us, I am going to add the necessary tracking to my domain names page.
• Log in to your AdWords account
• Expand the left hand navigation bar (the ones that slides)
• Click on 'Control panel & library'
• Click on 'Audiences'
Click on the 'New Audience' button and choose 'Remarketing list'
Add your re-marketing campaigns information and how long you want the cookie to be active for, and then click 'Save'.
Your audience list will then be created along with the necessary tracking code to add to your website. Place this on the relevant page just before the tag.
Now we are starting to build up our list of people who have visited the domain names page, we also need to create a list of people we want to exclude from being shown our banners. Because the aim of this campaign is to convert people who didn't buy the first time, it would be a waste of money showing ads to people who did buy. To prevent this, we will create a second list of people who have been shown our order confirmation page (i.e. they bought the product).
Following the same steps as above, create another list, but this time put the tracking on your order confirmation page. Once both those are done, we can create what AdWords calls a 'Custom combination'.
Click on the 'New Audience' button and choose 'Customer combination'
Name your customer combination and give it a clear description. You can then select from your re-marketing lists to build your custom combination.
Here we will add our 'Viewed domain name' list next to 'all these audiences', but because we don't want to show ads to people who converted, I will select the list that records those who converted next to 'none of audiences'. Essentially, our new customer combination list is as follows:
Viewed domain name product page – viewed order confirmation page = Target audience
Adding the list to an Ad Group
Now we have our list, we can apply it to either an existing Ad Group or create a new Ad Group. The methodology is the same once the Ad Group exists so I'll use the example of applying it to an existing Ad Group.
Navigate to your chosen Ad Group and click on the 'Audiences' tab
Click on 'Add audiences', click on 'Custom combinations' and choose the list you want to add. Click 'Save' to apply the list.
As they navigate the internet, our adverts will now be shown to those people who visited our domain name page but didn't go on to buy anything.
Refining your targeting further
We could choose to leave it there and let our banners/ text ads follow our target list around the internet regardless of where they go. However, from a branding perspective, you are losing too much control and our advert could end up on some websites we don't want to be associated with. To ensure we only appear on relevant sites we can combine 'targeting by audience' with 'targeting by network'.
The first step is to tell Google that we want to manually choose which websites and categories our ads are shown on. Note, this is done at a campaign level so make sure your re-marketing ad group is not mixed up with others where you don't want this setting.
At the campaign level, click on the 'Settings' tab and then under 'Networks & devices' click on 'Networks'. If it isn't already chosen, check the radio button next to "Relevant pages only on the placements and audiences that I manage".
Once that is done, go back to your ad group and click on the 'Networks' tab and then the 'Add placements' button.
If you have some specific sites in mind you know carry Google adverts, type them in here. If you need help researching and generating a list of sites, click on 'Try the placement tool'.
Once you have created your list of websites and/ or categories, your adverts will only show up on these websites to your previously created audience list.
Even more refinement
Other areas to consider to laser target your adverts even further are geographic targeting (e.g. people in the UK only), targeting by device (e.g. Computers only) and choosing what time of day you're your ads are shown (e.g. 9am to 7pm Monday to Friday).
In summary, our top tips for creating a successful re-marketing campaign are:
• Never use a one size fits all approach, create multiple targeting lists
• Drop the cookie on the product page, not the home page
• Create ad groups for each product with tailored creative
• Target specific categories
• Don't just turn it on and leave it at that, monitor it every day and make changes
• Run weekly reports to show where your banners appeared and if necessary add negative website lists
• Keep your branding in mind as well. Do you really want to be seen on a low quality spam site?

SPARTA — Mount Airy loaded the bases with none out, but couldn't catch Alleghany in a 10-5 loss in the second round of the state 1A playoffs.
The Granite Bears trailed 10-0 at the start of the fifth inning, in danger of seeing the game end early on the mercy rule.
However, the Bears put up three runs in the top of the fifth, one in the sixth and one in the seventh to cut the lead in half.
In that seventh inning, Corbin Welch got things going with a walk. Then Mitchell Brown fought off a full-count pitch with a bloop single to left.
Jon Cagle hit an RBI single to left to make it 10-5.
Wes Bumgarner hit a grounder to short, but the throw pulled the first baseman off the bag, and everyone was safe with the bases loaded.
David Sparger worked a full count, one ball away from walking in Brown. Instead, he hit a pop-up behind the plate that the catcher snagged for the first out.
Then Kenny Overfelt struck out on an 0-2 pitch that appeared to be out of the strike zone.
Clay Mounce came in as a pinch hitter for Clay Mounce, but went down looking at strike three.
Alleghany came out swinging from the start, scoring four runs in the first inning and three runs in both the second and third innings.
The Bears could have given up or sulked, but instead made a comeback.
"I hope we're past that," Cawley said of giving up. "That's not who we are and who we want to be. I didn't expect we would."
In the second half of the ball game, pitcher Logan Holder shut the Trojan bats down, giving the Bears a chance to come back.
However, the team did make some mental errors.
In the top of the sixth, Overfelt and Holder walked. With two outs, Brandon Shepherd hit a fly ball past first that fell in. Overfelt scored, and Shepherd and Holder advanced to second and third respectively.
Shepherd was picked off second to end the inning.
Coach Jon Cawley said that Brandon thought it was strike three on the batter and the inning was over, so he wandered off second base.
With baseball it is difficult to teach all the intricacies of a complex game in just three months, the coach said.
"With our school, we need all our best athletes playing all three sports," Cawley said. However, that means that the boys aren't devoting enough time to any of them to become well versed.
There was a play where a runner took off from base on a line drive and was doubled off the bag, the coach said. On a quick play like that, it takes practice and experience to react instinctively, he said.
"We have a tendency to overswing," he added. "Our guys want it so bad." They need experience to understand that it is okay to want something badly, but still play within themselves, he said.
Cawley said he was pleased that he got to see Alleghany's outstanding pitcher, Austin Easter, for the first time.
It was unfortunate that Austin was hurt during the game, but if there hadn't been a pitching change, the Bears couldn't have come back, he said.
Easter was on the mound when the catcher fired a ball down to third to try to pick off a runner. The catcher didn't stand up, but threw from his knees, so the ball came out low, and the pitcher never saw the throw, Cawley explained. The ball hit Easter just below the throat.
He was lucky the ball wasn't a little higher or it could have hit him in the face, the coach said.
As for the loss, Cawley said, "Alleghany should not have scored 10 runs. It's not always the best team that wins. I'm still not sure which team is best."

I was really interested in trying out Okra Pepsin based on the description of what it does (It digests the mucus that coats the walls of many people's small intestine) but then I saw that it contains lactose. No allergy tests have ever found me even slightly allergic to lactose, but I do feel extra gassy/upset stomach whenever I eat something milky. What should I do? What is an alternative to the Standard Process Okra Pepsin?

With a wide variety of Bengali food, songs and Durga pandals, the Silicon City of India has the distinct flavour of Durga Pooja.
Bangalore, which is home to about 4 lakh Bengalis, is all geared up for the puja, the biggest festival of the Bengalis. The pooja was held at 50 places in the city on Tuesday.
Bengalee Association, Ulsoor, has set up a pandal at Gayathri Vihar, Palace Grounds. Dilip Maitra, vice-president of the association, said 15,000-20,000 people visit the pandal every day.
He said this time, the food court would have 35 stalls, mainly offering Bengali dishes. He said the organisers had invited Baul singers from West Bengal to perform in the city. Beginning Sunday, cultural programmes will be held every evening.
The associations have planned the five-day celebration well in advance. Take Jayamahal Durga Puja, one of the oldest in the city, for example.
Himadri Nandi, secretary of Jayamahal Bengali Association, informed that the Ashtami aarti would be performed by priests of Bharat Sevashram Sangha. They have invited a Bengali band, Cactus, to perform on Saptami (Monday ).
On Dasami (Thursday), they will have a get-together of the association members.
Sculpting the celebrations
These days, Tarun Pal, 52, is busy giving finishing touches to the Durga idols. Thirty-three years ago, he used to come to Bangalore with his father to sculpt idols. Like old times, Pal continues to come to the Garden City in June every year with his team of workers to make idols of goddess Durga.
Tarun says his father, Sudhir Pal, now 86 years old, was the first artisan to come to Bangalore from Kumartuli, a town famous for sculptures.
Their idols are in demand not only in Bangalore but in neighbouring districts too. Pal and his team has made a set of Durga idols for Jindal Company in Bellary district and another for Tiptur in Vellore.
Besides Durga idols, this year, his team has received six orders to make idols of Ma Sherawali. The demand has come from the associations of Marathis, Biharis and people from Uttar Pradesh who want the idols to celebrate Navaratri.

Khasa Subba Rau strode like a colossus in his lifetime, as a patriotic journalist covering the birth pangs of a free nation, as a freedom fighter who braved lathi-blows of the British in Chennai and as a crusader against corruption and other evils that seeped into the system in the post-independence era.
Intrepid, no-nonsense journalist who pursued his craft with passion, he dared to take on the likes of Nehru and Rajaji. Encapsulating the life and times of such a multifaceted personality would have been a challenging task for a biographer.
This book has adopted a relatively easier format of ask contemporaries and admirers to write about him.
There were very many, from Rajaji himself to former Chief Ministers, veteran journalists and people from varied fields. They were requested to write after Khasa's death in 1961 by his friend Vuppuluri Kalidas but these works remained unpublished. Octogenarian, P. Vaman Rao, former chief correspondent of The Hindu, Hyderabad and Khasa's son-in-law took up the task of putting them, about 100 pieces, together now.
The articles bring out the persona of the versatile journalist though sometimes these do appear like singing paeans, something intrinsic and expected in such a format. Nevertheless the reader is taken back in time when Khasa, the stormy petrel, held sway, writing incisively and dissecting issues confronting a nation that was struggling for freedom and the painful transition period that followed. Not just the issues, his critical evaluation of tallest of leaders and their policies find space in the book.
Vaman Rao in his article presents liberal extracts of Khasa's acidic writings on Nehru in his extremely popular column 'Sidelights' in 'Swarajya'. A sample: "Mr. Nehru's latest feat is to accuse critics of his pet scheme of cooperative farming of 'spreading lies among people'.
Till recently the Nehru-thunder struck lightning and could make his countrymen tremble at its power and potency. But lately as a practitioner of righteousness he has lost ground."
Some of the writings show how he developed enduring friendship with Rajaji after being his trenchant critic for the role he played in the dismissal of Tanguturi Prakasam as Chief Minister of composite Madras State.
An upset Rajaji wrote to Khasa to remove his name from the free-list and save a copy of Swatantra. Yet it was Rajaji who paid him the richest tribute: "Khasa had become a symbol for fearlessness and justice for all and his journal was an institution of the highest national value."
The book also provides insights into Khasa's journalistic works, its cadences and tone reflecting his angst.

When it comes to Judd Apatow's characters, what's in a name?
A friend called one evening while we were both watching Knocked Up on HBO. It was during the scene in which Ben Stone (Seth Rogen) and Alison Scott (Katherine Heigl) are on their way to a doctor's appointment, talking about the relationship between Alison's sister Debbie (Leslie Mann) and her husband Pete (Paul Rudd). The fight escalates into a more general discussion about sacrifice and responsibility. Alison orders Ben to get out of the car, right there in the middle of the street. Ben, his defiance turning to resolve, gets out of the car. He walks the rest of the way to the doctor's office. They continue their argument, loudly.
"This is my favorite scene," my friend said, "because it's so Jewish."
My friend is also Jewish, but her comment struck me as odd: not anti-Semitic or pro-Semitic, but definitely Semitic. "What's so Jewish about it?" I asked.
"The whole thing. It's at a doctor's office. He gets to complain about the weather before he rips into her. It's aggressive whininess, or whiny aggression. And it has a moral component too."
After a little while, I asked, "Are you sure that Ben's Jewish?" This was not a rhetorical question, but it may have been a stupid one. Ben Stone is played by a Jewish man. He has conversations with his doting, sensitive father, who is played by a Jewish man (Harold Ramis). And, of course, he has a Jewish name: Ben Stone. So he seems identifiably Jewish. But is he remarkably Jewish? In other words, is his Jewishness worth remarking upon? Ben himself remarks upon it a number of times early in the movie. He tells his friends, "If any of us get laid tonight, it's because of Eric Bana in Munich." When he meets Alison and she asks him if he uses any hair product, he says "I use Jew." But this dimension of the character falls away as Ben's relationship with Alison comes to the fore, and by the time the movie gets to the fight in the doctor's office that my friend identified as highly Jewish, Ben's Jewishness has been suppressed, if not forgotten. As he moves forward in his life, he learns to cope with the consequences of sex, learns to leave the safety of his community (read: roommates), and learns to have a relationship with a non-Jewish woman.
The confusion persists in the newest movie from the Apatow stable, Pineapple Express, which opens today. It's a companion piece to last summer's Superbad, in the sense that it's a buddy movie cowritten by Rogen and Evan Goldberg. (Full disclosure: I have published a book titled Superbad, which is unrelated to the movie, and I once wrote a letter comically attacking Rogen and Apatow for the nontheft of my title. We are not actually feuding, though I did threaten to cut off Rogen's fingers.)
Here, Rogen costars with James Franco, who is best known as Harry Osborn/Green Goblin Jr. in the Spider-Man movies, but got his start playing the sensitive stoner Daniel Desario in Apatow's Freaks and Geeks. Daniel Desario was probably Italian, as are other prominent roles Franco has played—Joey LaMarca in City by the Sea, Dan Carnelli in In the Valley of Elah. Franco, though his last name sounds Italian, is in fact a mix of Swedish and Portuguese (on his father's side) and Jewish (on his mother's). In Pineapple Express, his character is a sweet, somewhat hapless drug dealer named Saul Silver.
Saul Silver is a Jewish name, and, like Ben Stone, Saul Silver is Jewish in more than name. In fact, he is Jewish exactly like Ben Stone. In the early going, he makes a point of discussing his Bubbie, who is in a nursing home, and then there are a few stray jokes that use his Jewishness as a springboard. But at several other moments where it might surface (confrontations with cops, softer moments of reminiscence) it doesn't; his Jewishness isn't as pronounced as, say, Alvy Singer's. There's no scene where he imagines that non-Jews see him as a stereotypical Hasid, complete with sidelocks and a black coat.
Apatow's population of slightly Jewish Jews raises a number of questions about ethnicity and genre. In certain American film genres, ethnic names are part of the equation: look at the long and complex relationship between Italian characters and crime movies. To some degree, this is the result of stereotyping. To some degree, it's the result of history. And to some degree, it's the result of a profitable interdependence between crime stories and the sensibilities of directors like Scorsese and Coppola and actors like De Niro and Pacino. Is it fair to look for an analogue in the work of Apatow and his associates?
Some of the work seems to suggest so. The protagonist of The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell), has a Jewish name, though not a Jewish actor portraying him; the protagonist of Superbad, Seth (Jonah Hill [born Feldstein]), has both. In You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Jewishness is central to Adam Sandler's character, though it's a case of an American Jew playing (and lampooning) an Israeli Jew. In Pineapple Express, as I've said, Jewishness doesn't figure so prominently in the film's plot, and Franco isn't read as a Jewish actor (no one I asked knew he was half-Jewish, and only some of them believed me when they were told). All that's left is the name, and it sticks out like a sore Jewish thumb, all the more so as the film lifts away from its buddy-movie premise and heads into bloodier action-movie territory.
The fact is that Jewish names have certain connotations, and high-octane action isn't among them. To get a sense of the oddness, it's worth importing the same idea into other films. What if Tom Cruise's character in Top Gun had been named Melvin Goldstein? What if Indiana Jones was Indiana Mandelbaum? That tension between Jewishness and physical power is one of the successful surface jokes of Zohan, and it ripples through our pop culture. The great Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten raised a version of this issue a few years ago in a column about a man who wanted rock stardom and felt that to get it he needed to get rid of his Jewish name, à la Robert Zimmerman or Chaim Witz.
To recap: Franco, who is half-Jewish but has a name that doesn't sound Jewish at all, is playing a lightly Jewish character with an explicitly Jewish name. So what, you ask? Well, so this: The practice of assigning actors who don't seem Jewish to roles that do returns films to an earlier era. In the thirties, Sam Goldwyn discussed the complicated nature of onscreen ethnicity: "You can't have a Jew playing a Jew," he said. "It wouldn't work on the screen." Goldwyn's remarks were made in connection with Counsellor at Law, a 1933 William Wyler film that is based on an Elmer Rice play about a Jewish New York attorney named George Simon. Goldwyn wanted his protagonist to be generic enough to appeal to the broad base of moviegoers. The non-Jewish actor hired to play the role, John Barrymore, tried to act extra-Jewish, despite explanations from the director and screenwriter than an assimilated Jew was indistinguishable from an assimilated Mexican or Baptist. In the 1931 melodrama Street Scene, also based on a Rice play, the main character, Sam Kaplan, was portrayed by the Irish actor William Collier, Jr. (To make things even stranger, his Irish girlfriend was played by a Jewish actress, Sylvia Sidney, a counterweight that is employed in Pineapple Express as well—Rogen's character, more obviously Jewish in his looks and bearing, is given the highly un-Jewish name of Dale Denton.)
The practice may have been rooted in the thirties, but it wasn't easily uprooted. Until fairly recently, the majority of explicitly Jewish roles went to non-Jewish actors, including Mickey Rooney (Lorenz Hart in Words and Music), Shirley McLaine (Gittel Moscowitz in Two for the Seesaw), Alan Bates (Yakov Bok in The Fixer), and Warren Beatty (Bugsy Siegel in Bugsy). John Turturro (not Jewish) played the Jewish Barton Fink (in Barton Fink) and Herb Stumpel (in Quiz Show), and
John Goodman (not Jewish) played the observant convert Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski. Meanwhile, Jewish actors, many of whom changed their real names to assimilate into American culture, were playing non-Jewish characters, which should come as no real surprise—that's what actors do. Think of Elliott Gould in M*A*S*H, playing Trapper John McIntyre, or the flying synagogue that was the Starship Enterprise. It should be pointed out that many Jewish actors did play ethnic, just not Jewish ethnic—James Caan tended to play Italians, as did Peter Falk, while Sasha Baron-Cohen prefers Kazakhistanis. But was Benjamin Braddock Jewish? Was Mr. White? Was Chas Tenenbaum?
You can certainly find Jews playing Jewish. Just look at the work of Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand, and Mel Brooks. And there are other famous roles: Lenny Cantrow (Charles Grodin) in The Heartbreak Kid, Alexander Portnoy (Richard Benjamin) in Portnoy's Complaint, Sheldon Kornpett (Alan Arkin) in The In-Laws. There are more, but the list doesn't run on and on. In fact, even archetypal roles like Billy Crystal's Harry in When Harry Met Sally aren't as Jewish as they seem. Harry's last name, believe it or not, is Burns, which is what, Scottish?
So what's the rationale behind Apatow's decision to give Franco's laid-back, sleepily charismatic drug dealer a Jewish name? Was the character conceived as Jewish? Is it a comic move, because the combination is so unlikely? Or is it something more, a victory for the race or even a declaration that the race no longer needs to worry about victory? When people speak of Saul Silver, will any of them describe him by his religion? Is it one of his main characteristics, or merely incidental? Would its status be the same if he was a sidekick on a sitcom, or is there something about the big screen that simultaneously magnifies and levels ethnicity? Have we officially entered a period of post-Jewish identity, when Jewish names are as typical as Smith or McIntyre or Bush? Is "Saul Silver" as loaded a name as, say, "Barack Obama"? And what does Franco's real Jewish grandmother think?

Honeywell wants to protect your home with new Lyric security system
Honeywell is back with its Lyric lineup, adding to it a home security system the maker promises is professional-grade. The entire roster of home security needs are met with the inclusion of things like smoke and intrusion detectors, motion monitors, cameras, and more. In addition to its security-centric focus, the system itself can be integrated into a smart house's existing products, including things like intelligent lighting setups, connected thermostats, and even smart locks. Even better, the system responds to voice commands, making the process hands-off.

Marc Savard "hurt" by Bruins' efforts to trade him
Aug 14, 2010, 11:00 PM EDT
While things have calmed down on the Marc Savard trade market as far as we can tell, that doesn't necessarily mean that all is well with Marc Savard. For the better part of the last two months, rumors have swirled around about the possibility of the Bruins dealing one of their top point producers over the last few seasons. Reasons for why the Bruins would deal him have either focused on the Bruins future salary cap crunch or with supposed issues about how Savard handled questions about his role in the too many men on the ice penalty he took in Game 7 against the Flyers in the second round of the playoffs.
Whether it's a money crunch or a question of character is all wild speculation at this point, but unsurprisingly the rumors have left a bad taste in the mouth of the Bruins star as the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch found out.
"They hurt me a little bit just because I went to Boston and I helped to build that team back up," Savard said in an interview Friday — his first public comments since the rumours surfaced. "Since I've been there, I've really tried to work hard with the young guys and being a core player. I was really focused on staying there for the rest of my career. To hear all this stuff this summer bothered me inside more than anything else." Savard expects to return to Boston. "Right now I'm a Bruin and that's the way it is," he said. "(But) it's been tough."
Being the focus of trade rumors is never easy, especially after you've just signed a contract extension with the team in December that includes a more stringent no-trade clause and a team-friendly salary cap hit (that may or may not be totally legal). While we're figuring that Savard will stay with the Bruins, you can't help but wonder where a player's mental state is at when the team you committed to is/was actively shopping you just months after signing an extension. Next season, should Savard be playing it in Boston, will be a curious test of his mental mettle.

I don't blame Marc Savard at all for being a little hurt. I saw the press conference after he signed ( a deal for the Bruin's) Chiarelli saying how pleased they were to have a player of Marc's caliber, how he wanted to retire a Bruin, etc. It was a slap in the face and would make most players who give a deal to a team think twice about signing with this fickle team! This team who struggles to score goals, desperately needs Marc Savard and I hope they make him feel wanted like he is by the Bruin's fans
- Cali - Aug 15, 2010 at 1:29 PM
he'll feel fine once the puck drops next season. of course he didn't like it and management sucks sometimes but there is a great relationship between savard and the fans who almost universally love him in boston. he's going to get a huge ovation on opening night next year and i'm sure he'll feel fine.

I've been looking at various sources, and from my understanding the whole 64kB physical memory space is seen as RAM, except for the top 1kB which by default contains the system ROM, MMIO, etc. So to make use of the code/data on your cart I guess you'll first have to load it into RAM through the RCART registers(?).
That's fine I suppose, but I don't see how my code in an .LNX files actually starts running at boot. When I look at a disassembled system ROM (lynxboot.img) I only see it loading 50 bytes from the cart to $AA-$DB, and when I take a look at what those 50 bytes actually are in e.g. Lynxopoly they don't seem to contain anything meaningful (unless the data is encrypted).
Is there any info available on this subject? I.e. what part of an .LNX file is first executed, from what address is it executed, and how has the hardware been set up at that point?
Posted Tue Jun 7, 2011 11:50 AM
Posted Tue Jun 7, 2011 12:11 PM
I.e. could I just take the first 256 bytes after the LNX header from whatever game and put it in my own ROM?
Posted Wed Jun 8, 2011 3:06 AM
Ok. So is the encrypted loader standard? I.e. could I just take the first 256 bytes after the LNX header from whatever game and put it in my own ROM? And is there a disassembly of a decrypted loader somewhere that I could look at?
What I need to know is mainly how much of my own code that will be "automatically" loaded from the cart to RAM, from where, and to where (i.e. what ORG should it have?).

Cool, thanks.
I noticed that cc65 has support for outputting straight to .LNX, so I'll probably try that out first. And if I'm unhappy with cc65 I'll take a look at all those other tools.

SANANTONIO - Hours after police made an arrest in one murder that took place at the Springhill Apartments, another man was shot and killed at the same troubled apartment complex.
On Sunday, 23-year-old Leroy Peterson was arrested for a murder that took place ten days prior.
Sunday night, 20-year-old Ivan Gaines was shot and killed.
Investigators do not believe the two shootings are related, other than the two happened at the same complex off of Ray Bon on the northeast side.
Several residents, including 10-year-old John Ronces, say they worry about stray bullets.
One of shootings went down within inches of Ronces bedroom window.
It was kind of like I was in a horror movie, and I was trying to wake-up but it was like real. It was so real, said the 10-year-old.
Resident Cherelle Washington said the Springhill Apartments need to go.
I would have them completely tear this complex down, she said.
The mother of three is moving out because of all the violence.
Ronces said he too hopes his family moves out, but his family must first save enough money to afford to do so.
I am trying to raise money in my bank, he said. I am trying to help my dad so he could move away from these apartments.

Ganassi completes Daytona-Indy-Brickyard sweep
For a while on Sunday, it looked like another Ganassi driver was going to give the owner his trifecta. But for the second year in a row, a victory at the Brickyard slipped away from Juan Pablo Montoya.
Montoya appeared to have the race in hand going into a round of late pit stops, but his crew decided to change four tires while rival drivers changed two and he lost track position for the restart.
Montoya couldn't get through traffic, then had a run-in with Dale Earnhardt Jr. that left his car too damaged to continue. Montoya drove to the garage and went straight to his motorhome without commenting to reporters.
"My heart goes out to Juan," Ganassi said. "He had a great day, too."
Ganassi said having two drivers up front allowed the team to split its pit strategy; knowing that Montoya's team was going to change four tires, McMurray's team could gamble and take only two.
"Without the 42 car, the 1 car wouldn't have won, I don't think," Ganassi said.

Destruction of seized elephant tusks opposed
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines–A party-list lawmaker wants the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to stop its decision to destroy seized elephant ivory tusks, amounting to P420 million, saying these items could be preserved and used for educational purposes.
Ako Bicol Rep. Rodel Batocabe said keeping the ivory tusks would give students in the country an opportunity to see and study these rare items up close.
"Our children might not be able to see and touch an ivory tusk their whole life, much less a live elephant. We have ivory tusks lying around DENR premises. Why destroy them when they could teach so much to future generations?" Batocabe said in a statement.
The DENR is scheduled to crush the five tons of confiscated elephant tusks using road rollers on June 21.
Environment Secretary Ramon Paje earlier said the destruction of the items illegally brought into the country was intended to send the message that the Philippines would not tolerate illegal wildlife trade.
This is in line with the Philippines' adherence to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) of flora and fauna, which prohibits ivory trade in order to stem the decimation of the elephant population in Africa.
Batocabe, vice chair of the House Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, said the ivory tusks could be donated to schools, universities, museums, or non-government organizations.
These could be used to teach the public about caring for endangered animals and about the dangers of ivory trade to the welfare of these animals, he said.
"Schools and NGOs will have good use for it to teach the public, especially the young generations, why ivory trade is banned," he said.
"Our museums and NGOs will be able to use these tusks to strengthen the world campaign against international ivory trade," he added.
According to the lawmaker, ivory tusks should not be likened to other contraband such as illegal drugs and pirated CDs, since the latter bring no benefit to the public and could not be used for educational purposes.
"These are priceless treasures that will be put to waste if we destroy them," he said.
The DENR earlier planned to subject some of the seized tusks to a "ceremonial burning," but this plan was halted after clean air advocates contended that this could send the message to the public that open burning was acceptable.
