The different stunning methods for Atlantic salmon can still be improved with regard to animal welfare. Salmon exposed to carbon monoxide expressed no aversive reactions towards CO as such. CO exposed fish showed an earlier onset of rigour mortis and a faster decrease in muscle pH due to depletion of oxygen during the treatment. Exposure to CO did increase the level of cortisol compared to undisturbed control fish, but the increase was less than in the water only control group. Neuroglobin, a CO binding globin, was found in salmon brain and Saccus vasculosus, a richly vascularized sac connected to the fish brain. Binding of CO to neuroglobin during sedation might possibly improve animal welfare.

Muslim man burned to death in new rioting in India
AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) – A Hindu mob burned to death a
Muslim man in his car in new violence in a western Indian city
early on Wednesday, raising the toll in clashes sparked by
demolition of a Sufi shrine to six, police said.
More than 70 people, including 10 policemen, have been
injured in clashes since Monday when the two-centuries-old
Muslim shrine was demolished by civic authorities in Baroda, 75
miles south of Ahmedabad, the main city of Gujarat state.
"A young man has been burned to death. The situation is
tense and curfew has been imposed," city police chief Deepak
Swaroop told Reuters.
The 30-year-old victim, who worked in an oil refinery, was
returning from a late shift when he was surrounded by a mob of
hundreds, including activists of hardline Hindu groups linked
to the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which rules Gujarat.
Minority Muslim residents said they did not trust the state
"Our lives are in danger as Hindu extremists armed with
swords and knives surrounded our residences. We called the
police but no one responded," said Moyin Khan.
State home minister Amit Shah said the government was keen
to control the violence and was doing all it could.
Civic authorities said they had to demolish the Muslim
shrine because it was illegal and blocking a road-widening
Gujarat is one of India's most communally sensitive states.
The highly industrialized state was rocked by Hindu-Muslim
riots in 2002 when 59 Hindus were burned to death in a train
compartment, which the state government blamed on a Muslim mob.
Human rights groups say about 2,500 people — mostly
Muslims — were hacked, beaten or burned to death in
retaliatory attacks. Officials put the toll at over 1,000

2006 CFN Preseason First Team All-American
Mason Crosby, Sr. - 21-28 FGs, 31-31 extra points
Crosby has one of the biggest legs in college football blasting 13 of 19
field goals from beyond 40 yards with a 58-yard bomb last season. He's
an All-American who's not just a bomber, he's also clutch. Dan Hawkins
has already said he'll allow Crosby to try a 70-yard shot this season.
Crosby will also take over the punting duties from John Torp, who was
one of the best in the nation averaging 44.6 yards per kick.
2006 CFN Preseason Second Team All-American
Brandon Coutu, Jr. - 23-28 FGs, 45-45 PATs
Coutu is a big-time weapon, He led the SEC in scoring last year with 114
points and showed off a cannon of a leg hitting ten of his 14 field goal
attempts from beyond 40 yards including a 58-yard bomb against UL
Monroe. He has to be more consistent inside the 40, but he should be one
of the best in the nation.
2006 CFN Honorable Mention All-Americans
(in alphabetical order)
Kenny Byrd, Sr. - 13-15 FGs, 33-38 extra points
A Lou Groza Award semifinalist last year, Byrd is once against expected
to be among the best in America. He was automatic from 45 yards with his
two misses coming from beyond 40 yards. He has a solid deep leg who
now knows what he's doing after only playing soccer in high school.
Arthur Carmody, Jr. - 14-16 FGs, 63-65 extra points
Carmody is one of the nation's best kickers with range and consistency
nailing his final 13 field goal attempts of the year going without a
miss after the third game of the season. He hit nine of ten attempts
from behind 30 yards and all five from beyond 40 topping out with a
47-yard kick against Pitt. He'll also handle kickoffs.
Jad Dean, Sr. - 24-31 FGs, 34-35 extra points
Dean was one of the nation's most clutch kickers highlighted by a
6-for-6 performance to beat Texas A&M. He doesn't have a huge leg with
his range topping out at 50 yards, but he hit five of his eight kicks
between 40 and 49 yards.
Darren McCaleb, Sr. - 23-28 FGs, 38-39 extra points
Connecting from short range hasn't been a problem hitting all 13 of his
field goal attempts from inside 40 last season. Being effective from
deep has been a little bit of an issue missing from 45, 48, 40, 50 and
44 in 2005. His focus was on increasing his range, so if he can be
rock-solid from 45 and in, he'll be a finalist for the Lou Groza Award.
Justin Medlock, Sr. - 13-17 FGs, 50-50 extra points
Medlock is back on the
team after getting arrested for drunk driving. He's one of the best
kickers in America hitting ten of his last 11 field goal attempts last
year. He has a big leg nailing 7 of 11 shots from beyond 40 yards.
Garrett Rivas, Sr. - 19-26 FGs, 33-35 extra points
He's not going to hit any bombs, but he's a steady kicker from inside 40
yards. Four of his misses came from beyond 39, but he also missed some
key short kicks in games against Nebraska and Michigan State. Even so,
he should be in the mix for All-Big Ten honors if he can connect on a 50
yarder or two.
Kyle Schlicher, Sr. - 17-21 FGs, 43-44 extra points
One of the best kickers in America returns after being all but automatic
inside 40 yards. While he has a good leg with a 52-yard shot against
Ohio State to his credit, his consistency tops out at the 40 missing two
kicks from 41 and one from 47. His only miss inside the 40 came in the
bowl game.
Alexis Serna, Jr. - 23-28 FGs, 32-32 extra points
Serna won the Lou Groza Award as the nation' s top placekicker even
though he missed five kicks and showing little range. He nailed six
field goals in the Washington game as part of a huge second half of the
season. He'll be a lock for preseason All-America honors.

|Food nutrients required for maintenance of brood sows and for growth of pigs to weaning time
|Willson, C. A. (Charles Albert), 1878-1936
|University of Missouri
|A great many experiments have been carried on with swine, which have determined the amount of feed necessary and the cost to produce a pound of gain during periods of fattening, with various kinds and combinations of foodstuffs; but there is a decided lack of knowledge regarding the cost of maintaining the brood sow throughout the year and the cost of producing the pig to weaning time. Such lack of data has helped to retard the placement of Agriculture upon a business basis. There have been no data available by which a charge could be made against the "feeder hog" at time of weaning. Such factors along with the difficulty of division of labor have prevented the farmer from applying business principals to his profession; and the lack of application of business principles to farming has resulted in depressing the net profits that might accrue from the profession. From November 18, 1908 to March 2, 1910 - a period of 469 days - the following experiment was conducted with the hope of furnishing to the feeder and others interested material from which the real cost of the pig at weaning time could be ascertained. The object was to collect such data as would warrant the debiting of the pig at weaning time with certain chargers. In order to do this it was necessary to determine the cost of maintenance of the brood sow throughout the year, including the cost of maintenance while farrow and suckling pigs.

One of the more spectacular misfires of recent years, Land of the Blind's lack of originality is only slightly exceeded by its failure to work as political satire.
Political satire is so rare that it's a shame to watch the reliable Ralph Fiennes and Donald Sutherland lend their talents to one that is blind to its own incompetence.
It's an easy movie to loathe, but it's designed imaginatively and enjoys the committed attention of its cast.

Souvenirs constantly flying into Minute Maid stands
Catch me if you can
One minute a baseball is being used by the pros; the next it could be in a fan's hands in this section of Minute Maid Park as a much sought-after souvenir
, Copyright 2010 Houston Chronicle |
July 23, 2010
Photo By Smiley N. Pool/ChronicleMany fans will dream of leaving Minute Maid Park with a baseball from the game, but the reality is few will be in the right place at the right time.
Photo By Julio Cortez/ChronicleThe Astros prepare 19 dozen balls for batting practice and at least six dozen for the game.
Photo By Karen Warren/ChronicleDuring batting practice, Section 103 in the Crawford Boxes was the only part of the ballpark that had more than 30 balls reach the seats.
Photo By Karen Warren/ChronicleWhile the balconies around center field saw a high number of home runs, it is one of the most difficult spots for fans to snag a souvenir. Twenty-two home runs were spread throughout the small balconies, but most were caught on the second bounce in the walkways behind the railing.
Chart: Best spots to get a ball
With the crack of the bat at Minute Maid Park, a section of the crowd scrambles to its feet, hands and gloves raised in the air with hopes of catching one of the most sought-after sports souvenirs.
About 1 1/2 hours before each Astros home game, dozens of fans line up in the outfield stands hoping to catch a baseball hit by a major league player. The hunt for the prized trophy starts with batting practice and goes on until the last out.
"There are a lot of great things for sale around the ballpark, but none of them will have the same meaning or feeling as catching a ball hit out of the park by a major leaguer," said Melissa Johnson, who attended a Astros home game in June with her two sons. "Taking home a baseball you caught is one of the greatest memories you could have of going to a game."
Most Astros players understand the fascination fans have with trying to track down that rare souvenir.
"People who don't really have an opportunity to feel what a major league baseball feels like, what we're playing with, I think there's a fascination with that," Astros first basemen Lance Berkman said. "Plus, I think in basketball and football, you have to throw the balls back. Baseball is the one sport where, heck, if something comes into the stands, it's yours."
The journey for a baseball that lands in your seat starts in a factory in Costa Rica, where according to Rawlings Sporting Goods, more than 700,000 balls are made for Major League Baseball every year.
Astros clubhouse manager Dennis Liborio said the Astros normally order about 300 dozen baseballs five or six times a season, with the first order placed in January. On an average game day, Liborio said about 28 dozen baseballs are used between batting practice and the game.
"We use about 19 dozen for batting practice and another six dozen for the game," said Liborio, who has been working for the Astros for more than 30 years. "Depending on how many are hit out during batting practice or are used during the game, we keep another three dozen ready to go on the side."
During the Astros' six-game homestand June 18-24 against Texas and San Francisco, a total of 333 balls left the field of play during batting practice and games. A fan's best chance of getting a ball during batting practice is in the Crawford Boxes, where 112 of the 183 batting practice home runs during the homestand landed.
"I think your best bet, if you really want to get a ball, is to get into left field, where all the righthanded hitters are going to hit home runs," Astros right fielder Hunter Pence said.
With the Astros ranked 27th in the majors with 63 homers this year , the Craw-ford Boxes usually don't see much action during games.
The places to be for foul balls were Sections 124 and 128 near the Astros' dugout.
While there is no guaranteed method of catching a ball, fans employ dozens of strategies to nab a prized souvenir, ranging from bringing a glove to roaming the stands through-out the game to snagging balls on the second bounce.
"Everyone has their own strategies to catching a ball, but for me it's just about being alert and ready," said Frank Villalobos, who caught a Pence home run and two batting practice home runs during one game in the June homestand. "You've got to be on the move all the time, and even after the ball goes over your head, you've got to be ready for it to bounce off something and come back to you. You've always got to be alert out here."
Some fans take a more cautious strategy to snagging a baseball — buying tickets behind either dugout and asking players to throw them a ball. After each inning, the player who catches the last out almost always throws that ball into the stands.
"I always look for a kid to throw it to, one that's not acting too crazy and is ready to catch it," Pence said. "If you're an adult, your best bet is to catch a BP one or a foul ball. It's really upsetting whenever you try to throw it to a kid and some adult jumps in front of him or her and grabs it. It happens all the time. There are a lot of thieves out there."
But most fans agree that no matter the strategy, the biggest key to going home happy is luck.
"It gets pretty rough out here," Johnson said. "I don't think there is a failure-proof way of getting a ball. I think it is just pure luck on catching one or not. You have to be in the right place at the right time. But the struggle to get that ball is well worth it."

FekonaSilenceNov 17, 2004Cool game!!!
JeremiahS.Dec 25, 2004Great game.
Mar 6, 2012A bit of a good game, but it felt too forgiving and had little to no replay value, besides the fact that this is in fact moddable thanks to the Unreal Engine that powered it.
Dec 17, 2012Good game, but it has a lot of problems. It's not even comparable to the book.
4.75 out of 10, for me.
The PC version of the game was changed for the worse; the console versions are recommended due to their more accurate control scheme and level variety.
It's not that I think the console version of Lemony Snicket is all that great, mind you, but it is definitely better than the PC version.
Overall the gameplay is far too simple for any casual gamer but it's sure to keep kids entertained even if they haven't seen the movie or read any of the novels.

SCOPE volunteers involved in burglary fired | News
Two SCOPE volunteers have been fired for their involvement in a burglary over the weekend where a man living in a home was assaulted.
The incident started around 11 p.m. Saturday.�Court documents state 22-year-old Eric Ortiz showed up at the home on the 1000 block of�E. 29th Avenue and identified himself as a sheriff's deputy and part of the gang task force. Ortiz�broke into the detached�garage and started hitting the victim inside over a personal dispute.
Witnesses also said a woman�with Ortiz�was wearing an official looking uniform too,�but neither she nor Ortiz are�deputies.
People at the home�say the woman and another man who accompanied Ortiz were both SCOPE�volunteers, and�even drove up in an official�SCOPE car,�but just stood by as the crime happened.
"SCOPE has�been around nearly 20 years now. We have had very few instances similar to this," SCOPE Director Rick Scott said.
Scott said Saturday night's incident is disappointing, and both of the volunteers were fired Tuesday morning.
"We're representing the community and sheriff's office in a positive way so if there's anything in a negative way, we can remove them from the program," Scott said.
SCOPE�volunteer duties include helping deputies fingerprint crime scenes. They also monitor the perimeters of those scenes but are not commissioned officers. They don't carry a weapon and can't arrest people.�
Scott said all of their 500 volunteers go through a�three part criminal background check. The people living at the home say they don't know how the two volunteers ever passed.
The two volunteers haven't been charged with anything, so they're not being identified at this time. Eric Ortiz faces charges of first degree burglary and a second degree charge of impersonating a police officer.
Investigators say both the perpetrators and the victims knew each other.

|AP source: Bengals LB Burfict gets 3-year deal
|Written by Admin

Burfict is making $570,000 in the final year of his original deal with Cincinnati, which took a minimal risk and signed him as an undrafted free agent from Arizona State in 2012.
Under his extension, he'll make $10 million through next summer, said the person speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal hasn't been signed or announced by the team.
Burfict became ill between practices on Wednesday and was sent home. He could sign the deal on Thursday or Friday when he's better.

Japan envoy says territory disputes with China can be resolved
Published on Jan 25, 2013 1:30 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - Japan believes tensions with China fanned by a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands can be resolved, a special envoy from Tokyo said on Friday after meeting China's president-in-waiting, Xi Jinping.
Natsuo Yamaguchi, head of New Komeito, the junior partner in Japan's ruling coalition, said Japan will take a broad view in dialogue with Beijing to resolve the dispute between the world's second- and third-largest economies, which has escalated in recent weeks.
"Japan wishes to pursue ties with China while looking at the big picture," Yamaguchi told reporters after his meeting with Xi, the chief of China's ruling Communist Party who is set to take over as president in March.
"I firmly believe our differences with China can be resolved," Yamaguchi said, adding that he did not directly discuss the islands issue with Xi.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
Yesterday, the
Wall Street Journal reported on
America's Newest Profession: Bloggers for Hire
and included this handy little chart:
I found this number hard to believe, so I followed the
Source link to the information
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
I found that, yup,
in a May 2007 survey, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated
that there were indeed 555,770 lawyers,
394,710 computer programmers,
299,160 chief executives,
and 289,710 fire fighters in the United States.
If you can't find the statistics you want, then just make them up
(but claim somebody else provided them).
(The comments on the article suggest that the number 452,000
was derived from a Technorati report that there were 20 million blogs,
of which only 4.7 million have been active in the past four months.
The number 20 million was then combined
with a Technorati survey of active bloggers in which
2% of them self-reported blogging as their primary source of income.)
Pre-emptive snarky comment:
"Microsoft's current advertising campaign uses made-up numbers."
Bonus statistics:
The claim that "It takes about
100,000 unique visitors
a month to generate an income of $75,000 a year" is a total
misrepresentation of the Technorati report.
Technorati said that the average annual income among people with
100,000 or more unique monthly visitors is $75,000.
That's like seeing that the average salary for a professional
baseball player is
$3.1 million
and concluding that once you reach the big leagues, you'll
be pulling down $3.1 million, when in fact—as the new guy—you'll
most likely be making the baseball minimum wage of $390,000.
In words, integral types and pointers up to eight bytes in size
are stored at their natural alignment.
Larger types are stored at eight-byte alignment.
unsigned __int64
In other words (saying it a third time),
let T be an integral or pointer type.
If sizeof(T) ≤ 8,
then T is aligned at a
sizeof(T)-byte boundary.
If sizeof(T) ≥ 8,
then T is aligned at an
8-byte boundary.
I have a fancy new office telephone with a bajillion features
(most of which I will never even find, much less use).
The telephone comes with a helpful manual, explaining how to
carry out various tasks.
For example:
Answering a Call
Using the Handset:
Pick up the handset.
Answering a Call
Using the Handset:
Pick up the handset.
Cool, I was wondering about that.
Yoram Bauman, the stand-up economist
Mankiw's ten principles of economics into English.
The proof presented in the footnote to
principle 5,
as well as an extended version of the translation,
can be found
in the Annals of Improbable Research.
Commenter BryanK wonders why weird things happen if you destroy
a window while it is processing the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message.
He suspects that it's similar to the problems you encounter when you
destroy a window in response to the WM_KILLFOCUS message.
Although I haven't studied the WM_ACTIVATEAPP situation,
I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is indeed entirely analogous.
It just follows from general programming principles:
After all, you are destroying the active window.
The WM_ACTIVATEAPP message is sent as part of the
activation change, and the documentation says that the message is
sent "when a window belonging to a different application than
the active window is about to be activated."
Notice: "about to be" activated.
That other window hasn't been activated yet;
you're still the active window.
Destroying the active window means that the window manager
has to find a new active window.
You're triggering an activation change while another activation
change is in progress; no wonder things get all messed up.
I am now going to make a gross generalization.
There may be exceptions to this rule, but it's a good place to start:
Destroying yourself is (generally speaking) not an acceptable response
to a sent message.
The code that sent you the message is doing so because it wants to
ask you a question (if it cares about the return value)
or because it's informing you of something that is happening
right now as part of a larger operation.
(After all, if the code didn't mind if you received the information
after the fact, it would have posted the message instead of sent it.)
And (generally speaking) it's bad form to perform an operation
that changes a system's state while it's notifying you that that
very state change is in progress.
When the state change is in progress, the state is unstable.
(If it were stable, then the state change would either not yet have begun
or already have finished!)
The animation common control is very limited in the type of
animations it can play.
The animation must be in AVI format,
it cannot have any sound,
and it must be either uncompressed or use RLE8 compression.
Why so many restrictions?
Because if it could handle other file formats, play sound,
and support arbitrary codecs,
it would just be a reimplementation
of the multimedia animation control.
(We saw this principle earlier when discussing
why you can't do everything with registry values that you can do
with registry keys.)
The point of the animation common control is to play very simple
animations without the overhead and accompanying complexity
of the full generality of the multimedia animation control.
Think of it as the 1040EZ of animation.
If your animation is comparatively simple and you don't need
very much control over its playback at all, then go ahead and use the
animation common control,
which is designed to be a simple playback control for simple animations.
But if your animation is complicated, uses an advanced compression
scheme, or contains audio, then you've left the world of simple
animations and need to move up to the full-sized 1040 form.
There's no point adding support for everything to the simplified
control, because once you've added support for everything,
you have the complex control that the simplified control was trying
to simplify!
Okay, fine, so the animation common control can't be a full-featured
animation control or that would have defeated its purpose for existing.
But why those specific limitations?
Because those were just barely enough features to play the animations
that the shell team needed to play.
The animation common control was written by the Windows 95
shell team,
and it supports only enough features to be able to play the animations
that the Windows 95 Explorer used.
After the control was written, the shell team figured, hey,
we already wrote it,
we may as well
do other people a favor and let them call it, too.
The downside of this is that even though the shell doesn't use
these simple animations any more,
it still has to ship the animation control because other applications
rely on it.
What started out as a courtesy has turned into a support burden.
It's frustrating when people who are presumably smart
(or who are at least pretending to be)
have a problem and are satisfied to receive the magic phrase they
need to type with no interest at all in understanding why
the magic phrase works.
For example, here's a question sent to an internal mailing list
for users of something I'll call Program Q.
From: X
Why is it that after I use program Q to create a table,
nothing else works?
Here's a batch file I've written:
q create table newtable
q create table newtable2
The pause command never executes; in fact, nothing in the
batch file executes after the first line.
How can I create multiple tables from a batch file?
Why is it that after I use program Q to create a table,
nothing else works?
Here's a batch file I've written:
q create table newtable
q create table newtable2
The pause command never executes; in fact, nothing in the
batch file executes after the first line.
How can I create multiple tables from a batch file?
My psychic powers didn't need very much charging up to solve this one.
Program Q is a popular one, and some teams like to create a wrapper
around it for whatever reason.
My psychic powers tell me that the first "q" on the path
is not q.exe.
Another person on the mailing list knew what I was getting at
and picked up the ball.
From: Y
Try using
call q create table newtable
Try using
call q create table newtable
call q create table newtable
(Maybe you too can figure out what my psychic powers told me
the problem was.)
The response:
From: X
Thanks, that did the trick.
I put a call in front of the first line and now
the entire batch file runs.
From: X
Thanks, that did the trick.
I put a call in front of the first line and now
the entire batch file runs.
I replied:
Dear X.
Please confirm that the first q on the path is in fact
a batch file,
in order to confirm that you understand the reason why you were
encountering the problem,
that it has nothing to do with Program Q,
and that you understand why the fix works.
Don't just copy the answer from your neighbor.
I've already decided that I'm going to blog about people who
accept an answer without bothering to understand why it works.
Here's your chance to at least look good when that blog entry
comes out.

There was no response.
Update: This was a mailing list for a programmer's tool.
And if you're a programmer, you'd better understand
what you're doing when you do it, not just cargo-cult your way
through your job.
Especially since this particular problem had nothing to do
with Program Q in the first place.
(On the other hand, I don't blame non-programmers for being
satisfied with magic phrases.)
One of the so-called taxes of software development on Windows is
being respectful of Hierarchical Storage Management.
You can't open a file until the user tells you to open it.
This rule
has consequences for how Explorer extracts information about a file,
because what you definitely don't want is for opening a folder full of
archived files in Explorer to result in all the files being recalled
from tape.
(Actually, file recall is just an extreme case of the cost of opening
the file.
You run into a similar problem if the file is on a slow medium
or over a slow network connection.
But just to motivate the discussion, I'll continue with the tape scenario.)
What information does Explorer need in order to display a file
in a folder?
Well, it needs the file name.
Fortunately, that can be determined without opening the file,
since the file name is how you identify the file in the first place!
When you want to open a file, you pass its name.
There, you have the name.
If you are showing the contents of a folder,
you used a function like FindFirstFile to get a list
of all the files, and the list comes in the form of names.
Okay, so the name is easy.
(There are still subtleties here, but they are not relevant right now.)
Okay, what's next.
The icon.
Well, in order to get the icon, we need to know the file type,
so let's put the icon on hold for now.
The file creation and modification times can be obtained without
opening the file; they come out as part of the FindFirstFile,
or if you started with a file name, you can recover them with
Either way, you can get that without opening the file.
Same goes for the file size.
The other properties, like Title, Author, Summary... They all require
that the file be opened, so Explorer disables the property for files
that have been archived to tape.
You don't want to recall a file from tape just to show its Author
in Explorer.
Okay, that leaves just the file type (and the icon, which depends on the
file type).
Consider the possibilities for how the file type could be determined.
What do these problems tell us?
The first problem, that reading bytes from a file forces a recall,
means that file type information cannot be based on the file contents.
The second problem, that reading alternate data streams also force
a recall,
means that you can't put it in an alternate data stream either.
All that's left is storing the type in the metadata.
But the third problem tells us that there isn't much metadata to choose from.
Whatever mechanism you use needs to be able to survive being sent
as an email attachment or being uploaded to an FTP site.
Email attachments in particular are extremely limited.
Most email programs, when asked to save an attachment,
preserve only one piece of metadata: The filename.
(They often don't even preserve the last modified time.
And good luck getting them to preserve
other ad-hoc metadata.)
All of these problem conspire to rule out all the places you can
squirrel away type information, leaving just the filename.
It's a sucky choice, but it's the only choice left.
And it means that
changing a file's extension means the file type information is destroyed
(which, from an end user's point of view,
may as well be corruption).
To have a lot on one's plate means to have a lot of tasks and
We shouldn't give this task to Bob.
He already has a lot on his plate.
(Or: He already has a full plate.)
At Microsoft, this common English language idiom is treated as a
normal part of the language.
The metaphorical plate
has become a synonym for assigned tasks and responsibilities
and can be used as a basis for new idioms.
That feature moved off their plate onto ours.
Feature X got postponed to the next release, so there's
room on our plate for Feature Y.
That feature moved off their plate onto ours.
Feature X got postponed to the next release, so there's
room on our plate for Feature Y.
Update: Apparently there are some people who believe
that Microspeak should restrict itself to
jargon used at Microsoft and nowhere else.
I employ a broader definition which includes the use of
existing jargon which is used in an unusual way
or used much more heavily than in the general population.
Today's entry is one of the latter: I already pointed out that
to have a lot on one's plate is a standard English idiom.
What makes it Microspeak is how the word plate has
taken on a life of its own at Microsoft,
to the point where the original idiom is almost lost.
I apologize to those for whom this explanation was not necessary.

When you run this program, it beeps when both the left and right
mouse buttons are pressed.
Note that the program does not require the two button presses take
place simultaneously.
Most people do not have the dexterity to push the two buttons at
precisely the same instant in time.
(Especially since Einstein taught us that simultaneity is relative
Why don't more programs use chording?
Recall that the semantics of double-clicking should be an extension
of the single-click so that your program can perform the single-click
action immediately (providing positive feedback to the user that
the click was recognized), and then continue to the double-click action
if a second click comes in.
For example, a common pattern is for
the single-click to select the clicked-on item and the
double-click to launch it.
You can stop at the first click and the result still makes sense.
For chords, you have to have two stopping points,
one if the user left-clicks and stops, and another if the user
right-clicks and stops.
Coming up with a chord action that is compatible with both
stopping points requires more effort.
Another reason why many people choose to avoid chords in their
user interface design is that
chording requires more dexterity,
and many users simply don't have the fine motor control necessary
to pull it off without accidentally invoking some other action
(such as a drag).
Chording is also cumbersome to emulate with MouseKeys,
so you run afoul of accessibility issues.
Still, there's nothing technically preventing you from using
chording in your program.
If you want to code it up, then more power to you.

I think you'll run up against oracle corporate policy. They're at war
with google, and probably not too fond of FB's association with MS.
For my two cents, I much prefer google+, but there's no rational reason
why NB shouldn't be on all social media. Sun "got" that sort of thing
much better, although they were no longer a real business. Oh well.

USTA Sectional Opens Counting for TRN Rankings - 4/1 - 7/31

100% agree! Dartmouth recruited a girl in our section early this year when she was a 3 star. Now her TRN ranking is near top 50 after winning section championship and national open. TRN ranking will get coaches' initial attention. This is actually rather important. The following is a true story - my friend's daughter was attending a full-time tennis academy and she started to write coaches of D1 schools when her TRN ranking was about #100. She got very few positive responses. The coach of a top D1 team did not even bother to answer the email. This coach went to watch a match of a blue chip at one of the super nationals. Guess what, that blue chip was playing my friend's daughter. Even though she lost the match, the coach was impressed enough to offer her (of course the blue chip as well) a spot on the team. She became a top 30 5 star several months later and may play a higher position than the blue chip in the spring. Had a nice conversation with Bryan Shelton, the most humble and nicest tennis person I have ever met - Coach Shelton told me that he likes to recruit a kid who shows improvement year after year since this is the best indication that this recruit would continue to improve in college.

Local blue- and white-collar workers gather with shoppers for affordable sandwiches and seafood in the vaulted, vine-twisted courtyard of this traditional pub, which has been tucked away from shopping traffic at 3rd Street Plaza since the late 1980s. It strikes one as an everybody-knows-your-name kind of place, with jars of pickles on the tables and friendly bartenders. Taste any of 25 kinds of beer and order fried "ungrouper" sandwiches (made with "mild flaky white filet" as grouper becomes rarer), burgers, crispy chicken salad, and nachos, as well as such not-so-traditional pub grub as grilled fresh catch-of-the-day and fried gator tail. There's musical entertainment Wednesday and Sunday year-round.

|Struggling musician peter bretter (jason segel) has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star sarah marshall (kristen bell). Hes the guy left holding her purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him...
"...terrifically funny and, for a few brief moments, poignant. Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
"There's a wit in Segel's writing that marks him as every bit Apatow's equal in this arena. James Berardinelli's ReelViews
"...worth seeing just for the banter between Segel and Hader, which recalls the peak conversational riffs from "Knocked Up." Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"A raucous ride through one man's pain. Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Editor's NoteNicholas Stoller's FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is a romantic disaster comedy produced by the same team that made such hits as THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN and KNOCKED UP, headed by writer, director, and producer Judd Apatow. When he gets suddenly and unceremoniously dumped by his longtime girlfriend, television star Sarah Marshall (VERONICA MARS lead Kristen Bell), composer Peter Bretter (FREAKS AND GEEKS alum Jason Segel) is devastated. Miserably depressed, he seeks solace in tawdry one-night stands, but he is desperate to win Sarah back. On the advice of his stepbrother, Brian (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's Bill Hader), Peter heads off to Hawaii for a much-needed vacation, but he gets even more freaked out when he discovers that Sarah and her new beau, wild and wacky British singing sensation Aldous Snow (comedian Russell Brand), are staying there as well. Mired in sadness, Peter is befriended by hotel employee Rachel Jansen (THAT '70S SHOW's Mila Kunis), who encourages him to get back his life and pursue his own dreams, which include staging a Dracula musical with puppets. But Peter is blinded by his desire for Sarah even as he grows closer to Rachel and starts hanging out with some of the hotel's odder personalities, including Chuck (Paul Rudd), a drug-addled surf instructor, and Matthew (SUPERBAD's Jonah Hill), a drug-dealing restaurant worker obsessed with Snow. Segel, who gets fully naked several times in the film, wrote the screenplay, a sharp blend of comedy and drama, and is solid in his first major starring role. Stoller, making his feature-film directorial debut, gets the most out of his diverse cast and beautiful setting, especially Jack McBrayer and Maria Thayer as a newlywed couple having some bizarre sexual problems, and Billy Baldwin as Sarah's costar in the television show CRIME SCENE: SCENE OF THE CRIME. FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL is an outrageously funny yet touchingly sweet movie.

Customer Reviews of Forgetting Sarah Marshall
The new faces of comedy5/19/2009
Jason Segel gives us a glimpse of his tender vulnerable side, while quietly building his nerve to get what he wants: the right girl and a staging of his Dracula Musical. You can see that as a writer/actor he is just hitting his stride and should be able to wedge himself into American cinema culture for decades to come. He reminds me on camera of a modern American Dudely Moore: Loveable, not handsome, clumsy at times, but always relatable. This is perfectly casted across the board. Even the small parts have GREAT comedic actors and they all work seamlessly together to propel the story and sew together joke after joke. Easily one of my top 5 comedies's of all time. Enjoy!

Bruins return to practice
|04.05.11 at 12:15 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Trying to shake off the stink of an ugly 5-3 loss to the Rangers in which they led, 3-0, the Bruins took to Ristuccia Arena for a noon skate Tuesday.
Michael Ryder was donning a grey jersey, making the third line the one with the extra man. Looks like Daniel Paille might stick in the lineup, potentially at the expense of Tyler Seguin once Shawn Thornton, who skated without a visor, returns.

Hi all. Jon, Gandhajala, what great plans you have today! Have a lovely time. Unfortunately the only thing in my diary today is a tedious bank appointment - yuck!
Secrète Datura by Maître Parfumeur et Gantier today.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.
Good morning folks,
We can't do without honoring Etta James today, so here is a live performance, clearly indicating to me that we need singers, who are able to transport strong emotions and feelings with fervor and soul. No nice sing-along songs, but creative and daring interpretations!
I'm comparing current Acaciosa with two different vintages (one thanks to a kind and generous BN friend ) and another sample of Joy vintage extrait (thank you for your generous offer, it's much appreciated ).
I'm risking to be stoned, but I think R. Fraysse improved Acaciosa... they are all clearly identifiable as Acaciosa, the one vintage sample is aged and I don't think this perfume fares well with age. Both vintages left me, while the current still lingers on with its smoky undertone. Gosh, this really is sublime and so much fun! Joy has a different vibe (more than I had thought), but with time this and Acaciosa approximate each other quite a bit. They are linked IMO.
easyfish, this bottle is a stunner!!
Do enjoy your weekend!

OK, nice thread so far. Yesterday's was fabulous, too, with most people being in synch.
Larimar, if you change your name to Hedonist (as per suggested), I wonder what the original Hedonist will do? But if I am ever in your neck of woods, I will cook for the bunch (Mid-Eastern included, special requests welcome!) and I will bring embroidered napkins for the crowd with me, Dr.G will be my baking coach/advisor and we will play The Mask (gosh, what a guilty pleasure, love it, JR!) at all times, in our Heaven's Kitchen.
Easyfish, what is the picture of, please?
Montale was calling me this morning, in Crystal Flowers. Brrrrrrrr!
This is my first post from the kindle. What amazing technology.
I am listening to one of our family's fave songs: At Last. Thanks yet again, Larimar.
Typing is absurdly slow, but I can not complain about the other conveniences and access from just a $200 product.
4 ml of TF Tuscan Leather arrived yesterday, so that's SOTD.
I wore Shalimar yesters.
Cyberspace kisses to all.

Hello all. Chanel Cuir de Russie parfum
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

SOTD is Angelique Encens
Wish you all a lovely Saturday!

Habit rouge for me today
I bought Rochas Man yesterday at TJMaxx, and what is left on my shirt from yesterday is reminding me of Insense (Givenchy). I'll give the Rochas another wearing today.
Good morning!
Terrific music today, Jon and Larimar, thank you!
My SotD is Hermes Santal Massoia, with notes of sandalwood, massoia bark and coconut.
Good morning! My SOTD is Diptyque L'Ombre dans l'Eau.
Notes include black currant leaves and Bulgarian rose.

Cristalle EDT today.
Yes, very sad about Etta James. Rumours were that this was coming for some time now. Glad she will suffer no more poor health but what a loss for the rest of us. Seems we have more entertainers than actual singers and musicians these days.
The nose wants what it wants!
Chanel 28 La Pausa for me this morning. Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm wearing Cuir Ottoman today. So kickass while I'm out running errands with Mr Bleu today. We are leaving on vacation in two weeks, and have to pick up a lot of little last minute stuff to take. Shopping with hubby can sometimes be a bit of blur (he's not a fan of shopping!) And then home in time for the KU basketball game ... go Jayhawks!
Happy, happy Saturday, everyone!
I've trademarked the color bleu
Snowfall this afternoon and at the moment (it will rain overnight), so, after a walk in the wonderful snowy air I'm taking a break from my chypré mania of late and go for Habanita Extrait instead tonight. Spritzing yourself with this bulb atomizer is fun and gaudy at once...
Thanks for the Etta tribute, Larimar. I have one to add to it. I heard this on the radio the other day and I loved it...
R.I.P. Ms. James. ♥
I'm wearing Bourbon French Anastasia today. I woke up to the sound of sleet pattering the roof. The first time this year we've had anything frozen falling down from the sky. It has stopped now.

Etta James 1938-2012
Born Jamesetta Hawkins in 1938 in Los Angeles,
Etta James was the daughter of a 14-year-old mother
and a father she never knew. She would later claim to
have reason to believe her father was the legendary
pool player Rudolf "Minnesota Fats" Wanderone Jr.

Hello. Tobacco Vanille for a rainy L.A. Saturday.
Good Evening,
I see Twolf has put me on baking duty for Larimar's party / BN meetup. Good timing, as I've just finished icing a chocolate + rasberry jam cake. I hope there will be enough to go around:
Lovely tributes to Etta James. May she rest in peace.
I'm freshly showered with Mitsouko soap and applied a few spritzes of the EdP for good measure.
Everyone smells fab today (as always).
Take care, all.
G., you are torturing me... I'm on a 'no sugars at night' regime! Overnight delivery for my slice please, Mr. Mitsouko!

Rest In Peace Etta James

Good evening !. Had a bit of a Lutensfest in the sales today, coming away with Jeux de Peau and Feminite du Bois. Wearing the latter for the rest of today.
gandhajala, may I taste test that for you prior to serving? You know, just to be sure it is perfect
This weekend, because I am house bound by both the weather and my arm, I am venturing deep into my magic box of miniatures and samples, and pulling out some neglected lovelies, for the purpose of wearing and reviewing. Right now I am wearing some vintage Estee Lauder Azuree, from 1969.
Top of basil, jasmine, and citrus; a heart of armoise, vetiver, and rose; and a base of patchouli, moss, and amber. Another interesting green chypre.
Less bite than yesterday's Alliage. Just loving these. Keep warm and dry all.
Went to doctor so scentless so far but it's going to be a Horny Little Devil Day. The kids have been misbehaving so I have little devils on my hands...One of them managed a whining marathon that included whining about:
Getting in the right-hand door of the car, she wanted to get in the left side.
Me not driving over a bridge on the way home. Not kidding. "Why don't you Ever drive over the bridge, mama, waaah, I wanna go over the bridge!"
Wow, what a sweet party here! You all are wonderful.
Seems like there's a leather theme in the today's SOTDs.
I love 1740 too. One time I had my husband spray it on, but nooooo, this is all miiiine!!
But right now I am in Bvlgari Omnia. And am kind of sleepy.

The three of us dug ourselves out of about 8" of powdery snow, and now I'm cozy in Mandorlo di Sicilia-- which smells rather like a root beer float!

I'm wearing some vintage Evyan White Shoulders parfum tonight.
It turns out to be a Chanel day for me, which is always lovely. Chanel Coromandel for this evening. Ahhh.
Enjoying Amouage Epic Woman. I think it works equally well in hot or cold weather.
It is VERY hot here tonight. We are waiting for a good storm.
