Arthur is the second longest running animated series, just behind the Simpsons. I had recently re-watched a few episodes of this show. No wonder PBS chose to renew another season. What contributes to the success of the show?
Unlike other T.V. shows or cartoons, Arthur touches on some pretty heavy stuff. For example, the death of a family member, a family member with a disease (like Alzheimer's), diversity, sibling relationships, exercising to be healthy, growing up with divorced parents, and fitting in at school, to name a few. Not your average every day cartoon, is it?
This show appeals not only to children, but adults as well. Watching this show allows people to relate it to their own life. Perhaps one of the most important aspect of the show is that the characters in the show take initiative in social situations, which encourages viewers to do the same. Executive Producer Jacqui Deegan said: "We're hoping to empower our young viewers to go after their goals and dreams — whether that means becoming a wheelchair basketball champion or expressing yourself through writing, drawing or making movies."
Another reason Arthur may appeal to adults is because of its satirical parodies of pop culture. For example, the rivalry between the Elwood City Grebes, Arthur's hometown baseball team, and the Crown City Kings, is a clear allusion to the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. Also parodies of popular adult T.V. shows and movies, such as Indiana Jones, Antiques Roadshow, and Jeopardy, can help adults to relate.
Celebrity guests also make occasional appearances on the show. Whether it's Lance Armstrong showing us how to be determined in facing challenges, or Koko Taylor teaching us how to sing the blues, these individuals act as role models and serve to improve an already good show.
Parents: let me tell you, this show is quality! Do you enjoy it? What are some of your kids other favorite shows? Feel free to leave a comment below.

Does it's huge power surge blast through all the other pyramids to trigger the mummies into finally walking and talking again? I'm thinking of the way lightning works and channels itself (in Tony's calendar piccy) so maybe there isn't necessarily a permanent linkage at work, but when Ptaclusp A & B try to cap it, the charge they set off hit all the other flares and that not only triggered the massive shift in the temporal plane for the whole valley of the Djel, but also pulled the other pyramids 'online' to pick up the charge and do the Frankenstein things for the mummies too. An interesting theory to ponder anyway
All the pyramids flare nightly but obviously the great pyramid is the key instigator for the entire valley being shifted onto another plane of time/reality and for the gods to turn up so inconveniently. I'm attracted to the idea that the other pyramids may also have had a part in reanimating the dead kings and nobles but pick holes by all means.

Yeah, based on today's posts to that bug report, it should land in the next few builds.
The patches have passed review, but it's always possible more issues could be found that hold it back (like Display List based invalidation, it passed review, passed tests, and proceeded to break random things for users when it landed)

Did facebook do something or Nightly has gone a lot faster at dealing with messages etc in facebook ?
Even scrolling etc has improved , I mean it feels fast! (Any big thing happened after IonMonkey?)

HiDPI should land in tomorrow's build, but it still probably won't run smoothly as there still seems to be some plugin scaling issues. Will give it a try when the update get pushed. I have a feeling I will be back to using chrome by the end of the day if plugin support is too messy.
Many things happened... but I switched to Opera..
But still I will tell you what happened.
Thebes Layer related bug fixed which was holding back azure content acceleration, slow path for gdi fallback fixed, Input slowdown one bug regression from FF16 also fixed.
Now recently DLBI also landed and Stub Installed not to mention HiDPI support for Mac OS X.

I prefer reinstalls as a last resort unless the client requests it, and then, I do a reinstall, patch up with windows update, adobe reader, java, flash, and maybe office and AV on request.
Better to just install them manually, and most of them have web installers so I can just keep them on a USB stick with my tools.
Well this way you don't have to open each individual web installer. Just select the apps you want and hit go and patchmypc does the rest automatic for you.
What a great idea! I have 3 different peoples' computers right in front of me, and although I knew about that program, didn't even think about using it on them! Thanks, warwagon!
ya give it a try on them, i'm pretty sure you will fall in love. One word of advice. For some reason if malwarebyes get updated with that application, patchmypc doesn't tell malwaredbytes to not reboot. So sometimes the PC will shut down and reboot after the malwarebytes updates with patchmypc. So I usually do that one by hand.

I was checking out a few days ago at Stop and Shop and noticed the exit, minimize, maximize windows buttons looked remarkably similar to OS/2 Warp. Does anyone know if Stop and Shop is using OS/2 for their checkout computers?
Update: I have read that OS/2 Warp is used in some things and places on Wikipedia. Does anyone know why OS/2 warp is being used and not something like Windows or Linux ?

By Claire Walla
New York Congressman Tim Bishop doesn't seem the type to lounge around. He commutes between offices in Southampton, Patchogue and Washington D.C., and attends events across the state and across the East End, where he represents nearly 700,000 people.
But last Tuesday, October 18, Bishop sank comfortably into the cushions of a big white couch in a house off the Bridgehampton Turnpike and, surrounded by a dozen of his constituents, he began to chat.
The purpose of his visit was as part of the Bridgehampton Children's Center's series: "The Politics of it All." (Past guests have included State Assemblyman Fred Thiele and County Legislator Jay Schneiderman.) And although the conversation hinged on politics, Bishop spoke candidly about his positions on all topics raised that night, from early childhood education to what he called the "repulsive" tactics of the Tea Party Movement.
While casual, the tone of the evening was relatively dour as those who attended the discussion looked to the congressman for answers to what they see as glaring inefficiencies within the U.S. political system.
Perhaps the most outspoken attendee that evening was Randall Dobler, who before he spoke distributed a five-page document titled "Randall Dobler Economic Recovery Plan."
He asked Bishop why — especially if the United States is looking to create more jobs and lessen its dependence on foreign oil — the U.S. government is not moving faster to promote the use of natural gas as a clean energy alternative.
Bishop's answer turned out to be the relative mantra for the evening: "political opposition." In the case of natural gas, he said many members of Congress who have thus far been opposed to passing legislation that would give American families the economic incentive to switch from heating their homes with oil to natural gas object to the part of the proposed bill that would put a tax on carbon-based fuels. According to Bishop, they maintain that the free market economy should reign supreme.
While political opposition is nothing new in Bishop's line of work, the assemblyman's critique of the current political climate went far deeper than typical party spats. For example, he said there's "no political will" among many conservative members of Congress to move away from carbon-based fuels. And then, raising the pitch of his voice in frustration, he added: "Many members [of Congress] don't even believe in climate change!"
Bishop reaffirmed what many in the room seemed to already believe, that such fundamental differences between members of Congress have created a vast schism within government, which has steered the country to where it is now: at a relative stalemate.
After the group lamented the woes of the American work force — which event organizer Bonnie Cannon said is worrisome because it's been flooded with many college graduates who can't find employment — attendee Lucius Ware, head of the East End chapter of the NAACP, drew comparisons between today's problems and the American workforce in the 1950s and 60s. The so-called "space race," he said, "kicked the workforce into high gear."
"This is our Sputnik moment," Bishop agreed. "But the environment could not possibly be more adverse to get that done."
Bishop said he is baffled by the notion that certain measures he feels would bolster the American economy — like bills to boost spending for infrastructure that would create jobs — have been shot down by Congress in large part because Republicans are unwilling to budge on the issue of raising taxes in any way, shape or form. Referencing a Republican debate back in August during which the eight candidates stated they wouldn't even consider raising taxes $1 for every $10 of spending cuts, Bishop said, "That's lunacy!"
"I hate to say it," he continued, "But [the conservative right] is not about to give [President Barack Obama] a win. That sounds hopelessly partisan, but I believe it's right."
Bishop explained that there are currently 25 million Americans under or unemployed in the United States, and he feels there is "no chance" the conservative right will accept the president's spending plans, which currently propose $50 million for infrastructure and $35 million for schools.
"I see intransigence on the part of Republicans," he added. "And a total unwillingness to move [on these points]."
The group went on to discuss government cuts to early childhood education programs, including Head Start. Bishop complained that the budget passed by Congress last April included 25 percent cuts to the program. To which Bridgehampton Head Start Manager Daphne Gil, who shared the couch with Bishop that night, noted that such cuts actually have an adverse affect on the work force as a whole.
"You have to allow people to let their children go to daycare and go to school so that they can go to work," she said.
Bishop sympathized with her complaints and said, of the cuts, "there's not logic to it." Bishop added that he believes these programs should be restored, and said the country needs to put more effort into bolstering math and science programs, because this, he noted, is where the future of the job market will be.
In the midst of such a seemingly bleak forecast, Cannon made an attempt to shift the discussion.
"I'm feeling a bit down," she said with an ironic laugh. "Can you tell me there's some light at the end of the tunnel?"
Without being specific, Bishop offered an analysis of the current political climate.
"At the root of everything is fear," he explained. "Fear of not having a job, of not being able to send your kids to college… and that leads to resentment, resentment leads to distrust, and distrust leads to anger. And that is one of the forces at play that I think is very debilitating."
As an antidote, Bishop said he is advocating passion; people in politics "who think we can do better." As for how the U.S. gets to a place where passion overcomes anger, "It's hard," he added. "But it's important for people to say: this isn't the country we had in mind."

Gargoyles have been around for ages. In ancient times, sculptures of gargoyle like creatures and symbols were sometimes placed on or near sacred sites to act as a form of spiritual protection. That belief continued in Europe during the Middle Ages with typical, fanged gargoyles being placed on Gothic cathedrals and castles. Similar gargoyles are used to this day to decorate gardens and home interior. Due to their classic, protective appearance, a quality gargoyle statue can look good in any type of garden.
If your backyard could still use a gargoyle or two, it might be time to buy one of our detailed gargoyle sculptures. Leo the Laughing Gargoyle Statue is one of the more cheerful gargoyles in our collection. This unique canine-gargoyle hybrid will be a hit at parties whether you put it on display inside the home or in the garden.
For a more intimidating gargoyle, we have several wickedly wonderful sculptures in our collection to choose from. The Castle Gate Gargoyle Statue is a classic, old time winged beast that looks very similar to statues on the walls of old Medieval keeps. The Abbadon Gargoyle Statue is an even more intimidating, highly detailed gargoyle that perches on top of a Celtic cube.
Find the best selection of gargoyle figurines, high quality resin garden statues, and more at Design Toscano.

Stig drives the Jaguar Project 7
Jag's design study gets the ultimate litmus test. Enter TG's tame racing driver
Posted: 08 Oct 2013
When styling Jaguars in the Fifties, designer Malcolm Sayer stuck tufts of lambswool to a car's bodywork and then drove along and observed how the wool was shaped by the airflow over the surface. One of his machines was the D-type, and, through his sheepy science, he determined it should have an aerodynamic fin behind the driver's head. This would steer air over the car, keeping it tidy as it slipped off the tail, and might also help drivers hold things steady at 170mph along the Mulsanne Straight at Le Mans. It worked. Some even took their hands off the wheel.
Fast-forward 60 years, and TopGear is conducting a similarly primitive aero test. We also have a Jaguar. It, too, has a fin. Except ours isn't decorated with fleece - and the driver's seat is loaded with a Stig. He's just performed a lavish burnout and now the electric blue Project 7 - a modern tribute to the D-type - sits in a cloud of its own smoke. The exhausts summon a primal roar, and The Stig's off, bursting through the artificial mist, vapour streaming over the bodywork in delicate white lines. It follows every contour and curls off the rear wing in little wisps. If old Malcolm were here now, he'd be taking notes. Who needs wool and sticky tape when you have a Stig and fresh tyres?
So, then, the Project 7. Officially it's a 'design study' based on an F-Type V8, and its name refers to the number of times Jag has won Le Mans. There are pictures of the old winners all down the corridors of the company HQ, a sort of Cool Wall to remind employees of the good old days. A few months ago, after walking past the framed images, designer Cesar Pieri felt inspired to get his pencil out. He began sketching something influenced by the old stuff, based around the hard points of the F-Type.
He showed it to his boss Ian Callum, who told him to show his colleagues. Soon they were all scribbling, and eventually it was decided to make the thing. It would be debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Which was just four months away...
And so the work began. The project went from sketch pad to CAD renderings in a few weeks, and from CAD to clay in just 10 days. Then it was over to the team who'd make the real thing. But we're not just talking about some stickers and stripes here. Look at the windscreen - it's been turned into a thin sweep of Perspex like you get on the front of a speedboat. There's an entirely new face with stronger cheekbones, a pointy carbon chin and a bigger mouth lined with white lipstick. The side sills are dark blades of carbon that could probably slice your ankles. Then there's the fairing behind the driver's head, which is more of a hump than a fin, but still tapers like a neatly butchered chicken fillet.
Back in the day, Jag's Le Mans racers were run by Ecurie Ecosse and painted the same colours as the team's native Scottish flag. The Project 7 is a more electric interpretation, but it gives all the right Celtic hints. It even has a man skirt, albeit a carbon-fibre job. They could've gone with purple and yellow in homage to the Silk Cut XJRs that also won Le Mans in the Eighties/Nineties, but design boss Ian Callum is a Scot, which probably swung it. The 7 also comes with a matching helmet, featuring a white stripe the same width as the one over the bonnet. Usually it sits in its own quilted pod, strapped in by a tiny harness and buckle. But today it's replaced by a proper passenger seat for our benefit.
Once the designers had finished, they handed over to the engineers. Their first job was to release more horsepower from the 5.0-litre V8, which was quickly achieved with laptop surgery. Goodbye 488bhp, hello to the 542 (the same as the XKR-S). Then it was out with the fabric roof and its motors, saving 20kg. Down went the 0-62mph time from 4.3 seconds to 4.1. Next job: rear wing. With the front splitter poking out 15cm further than usual, and therefore pushing it harder into the ground, they needed a similar force to balance the tail. So on went an aggressive carbon wing set to a 14° angle of attack. Then it was over to Mike Cross, the quiet genius who makes all Jags behave properly. He also happens to be an expert at misbehaving, which may explain what happens next.
You know that feeling when you think the toilet seat's down, but actually it's not? That's what happens when you first sit in this thing. The thinner seat is mounted 3cm lower than usual, so your backside arrives with a bump. If it were higher, the top of the short 'screen would slice in front of your face and you wouldn't see out. So you sit way down, and it feels like getting into a driver's seat recently vacated by Stephen Merchant. I pull the four-point harness over my lap and shoulders, which hunkers me down even more. I adjust the seat manually. And leave the thin wing mirrors (nicked from the C-X75 hypercar) where they are. There's no rear-view mirror to worry about.
The controls are familiar. So I press the start button, and the 7 lets out a snarl from its quad exhausts, tipped with ceramic tubes to prevent hot metal searing through the new carbon venturi. The pipes now go straight through the silencers, rather than through a maze of baffles. I blip the throttle. The V8 grumbles, and the car rocks. About a second later, the exhaust sends a whipcrack echoing through nearby trees. Click the gearstick into first gear - one of eight in the auto 'box - and roll forward. Looking at the world through the thin screen is like looking out through a helmet, and, because it's so short, there are no side windows. They wouldn't meet up with the edges of the screen's frame.
Traction control is off; dynamic mode is on. And first impressions aren't too scary. The 7 might ride 10mm lower than a standard V8, but it's not bumpy. The steering has the same meaty texture as before. But then you try the throttle and - if you were hooked up to a heart-rate monitor it would become spiky. Goodness, this thing's quick. Maybe it's because you sit lower and everything's louder, but the extra 54bhp feels like much more. And let me warn you now, if you're considering going around any corners, you should hold your breath. We know the F-Type can slide... but with the 7, the slide goes on for longer and the smoke somehow clings to the car and follows you down the road. It pours over the rear deck like dry ice over a stage. It billows over the sides of the car and over the tiny screen. It's like being blown along on the breath of an especially grumpy dragon.
This thing is obviously programmed to show off. The regular V8 is not a particularly understeery car, but whatever nosiness was there has almost disappeared, and it feels very willing to swing its bum around. And, although we're told the springs are a touch softer, they also have a little less weight to shoulder, especially over the rear. The upshot is a car that's easier to unsettle, but also one that's less likely to help you out once you've busted the limit of grip. Perhaps that makes it less friendly than the regular car, but that's what happens when you make things racy. It narrows the focus. And certainly sharpens the senses...
In a few days, this car will be flown to Pebble Beach in the States, where rich people will stare at it. Many will produce wads of dollars and insist on taking it home. But Jaguar says it's not for sale. Asked whether it might form the basis of a more hardcore F-Type, company insiders declined to comment. But it's not hard to work this one out. The XK already has R, RS and GT versions (GT being the hardest, most concentrated of the lot). It's inevitable the F will receive similar treatment, and we'd wager that the Project 7 previews at least some features of a go-faster F, whether it's the engine or the aero of its full humpy goodness.
Or just maybe... it's a sign that Jaguar might go racing again. An F-Type GT3, anyone? No way, say the bosses, and we're inclined to believe them. So, for now, then, it's just a bit of fun. Something to pass the time before we get our hands on a buyable, hotted-up F. And in a world of serious people who speak of streamlined platforms and downsized everything, it's good to see a car company with a sense of humour. Think of the Project 7 as a cartoon for grown-ups. Just look at the Jag badge on the front - they've put shades on the big cat's face. A growler in glasses, they call it. And you don't see one of those every day.

Listen to the Cancer.Net Podcast: Organizing Your Cancer Care, adapted from this content.
As a person with cancer, or friend or family member of someone with cancer, you may be gathering information about cancer and cancer treatment options, making appointments, getting test results, collecting records, and managing financesâall of which may feel overwhelming. Organization helps you gain control over your schedule and the information you receive to allow you to make well-informed decisions at the right times. This article provides some suggestions to help you organize your cancer care.
Filing information about your cancer and cancer care
A large part of managing your cancer care involves organizing information. Placing documents in a filing cabinet or simple desktop divider with alphabetized folders makes it easy to quickly find the information you need. Your files may include the following documents:
- Information on your type of cancer, including articles from Cancer.Net or other trusted websites
- Notes that you take during appointments with your doctors
- Contact information for those involved in your care, including doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies, with phone numbers to call if you need help during non-business hours
- Financial information, including medical bills and health insurance claims
- Your medical history, including your diagnoses, treatments, and current medications. These are very important if you change doctors, have a recurrence (return of cancer after treatment), or lose original medical records.
- Your treatment plan and summary, which has information about your cancer treatment and follow-up care
File new information as soon as possible to prevent it from getting lost. In addition, as files on general topics grow larger over time, divide them into topics that are more specific.
Preparing for appointments
Planning helps reduce stress on the day of an appointment. Use a paper or electronic calendar to keep track of upcoming appointments. When scheduling an appointment, ask about the location, parking availability, insurance coverage, cancelation policies, and any other information you may need to know in advance. And before leaving for an appointment, consider writing down the address and phone number, printing directions, and preparing a list of questions to ask the doctor. If you need transportation assistance, schedule it at least one week in advance, and confirm the date and time one day before.
Managing finances
The following tips may help you keep your finances in order while receiving cancer care.
Adjust your budget. If possible, make changes in advance to your budget to compensate for any loss of income resulting from less time at work or from expenses that insurance does not cover. If you have limited funds, consider making special arrangements with creditors. Learn more about managing the cost of cancer care.
Seek help for paying bills. If you feel unable to manage your daily and monthly obligations at this time, ask a friend or family member to keep track of your regular monthly bills, or consider using a bill-paying service to help make your payments on time.
Review your health insurance plan benefits and policies. Understanding which medical services your health insurance company covers and what percentage of the costs it covers can help you plan for upcoming expenses and verify that the medical bills you receive are accurate.
Take notes during conversations with health insurance companies. These notes should include the date of the conversation, the name of the person with whom you spoke, brief notes about what was said, and the reference number the person gives you when changes are made to your claims. Put the newest records at the front of the file so that you can view the history of those conversations easily. Learn more about organizing your insurance paperwork.
Other helpful organizational tips
Here are some additional principles to help you stay organized and save time.
- Don't be afraid to let someone help you manage all of the paperwork. It may be difficult to do this on your own, especially if you feel tired or sick.
- Find permanent locations to store important items to avoid wasting time searching. For example, you may decide to keep all prescription medications in a bathroom cabinet and all files in a desk drawer.
- Write a list or use an electronic task manager to keep track of tasks you need to accomplish between appointments. Put a check mark beside each one when you complete it, marking your progress.
- Set reminders to prevent you from forgetting important appointments or tasks. Many electronic calendars and task lists have settings that allow you to receive a message, such as an email or a text message, reminding you hours or days before an appointment or a task deadline.

Residents vow to fight club closure
600 attend meeting, say they'll craft ballot measure to protect land
ESCONDIDO Aiming to prevent Escondido Country Club golf course from becoming a large housing tract, nearby residents say they'll pursue a ballot measure to make the 80-acre space a permanent greenbelt.
The new strategy was unveiled Wednesday night during a boisterous neighborhood meeting attended by more than 600 club members and residents living near the north Escondido course.
Residents have banded together in protest since new owners announced last month that they would close the financially struggling country club April 1.
The owners have also said it might get replaced with housing, the only kind of development the property's zoning would allow.
Describing the new owners as slick Beverly Hills land speculators who can't be trusted, neighborhood leaders and their team of attorneys urged residents Wednesday night to unite behind the proposed ballot measure.
They said replacing the course with as many as 400 houses would lower nearby property values, destroy the area's upscale ambience, increase crime, and bring years of construction noise.
"There isn't any graffiti here and the houses are well-tended, but things would change and not for the better," longtime resident Jim Ahler told the packed house at New Life Church. "But they want you to sit on your behinds and let this whole thing pass you by."
Instead, neighborhood leaders want residents to donate a total of $500,000 for consultants, attorneys and paid signature gatherers.
They would need signatures from more than 5,000 registered city voters to force the City Council to either adopt their initiative, or place it on a future election ballot for approval.
A spokeswoman for the new owners, Stuck in the Rough LLC of West Hollywood, said after the meeting that she couldn't provide much reaction to the ballot measure strategy.
"They didn't give a lot of details about what it would do," said the spokeswoman, Erica Holloway.
Holloway also said Stuck in the Rough sympathized with the residents.
"Their concern is natural and understandable because the community has an important stake in what happens," she said. "We want to work with them and hear their concerns about the need for open space, parks and trails."
During the meeting, neighborhood leaders harshly criticized Stuck in the Rough as a predatory corporation.
"They watch golf courses like hawks because many are closing and they want to buy them up," said Ken Lounsberry, a longtime local attorney and former Escondido city manager. "You'd sit back and admire it if you weren't the victim."
Lounsberry also said residents should be skeptical of Stuck in the Rough's public comments about why it bought the course.
The company has said it bought the club intending to keep the course open, and that the decision to close came only after an analysis showed that falling revenue and dwindling membership made that impossible.
But Lounsberry said that version of events runs counter to his experience as an attorney for housing developers.
He said corporations don't buy large properties without exploring what the possible future options are. And he said the leaders of Stuck in the Rough are particularly accomplished business professionals.

They are not related or part of a law firm, but the duo of Williams and Williams are showing their value in the post for the Mississippi State women's basketball team.
Sherise Williams and Carnecia Williams have provided a nice compliment of play with Martha Alwal and have been two of the surprises for the Bulldogs through nine games.
In a 59-58 victory over Florida Atlantic, the two Williams and Alwal combined for 35 of the 59 points.
"In the last game, our post play was awesome," MSU sophomore guard Kendra Grant said. "They were looking for each other high and low even on rolls. They did a really good job looking for each other and finishing."
The Williams pair have emerged the third and fourth scorers and third and fourth rebounders for the Bulldogs this season.
Sherise Williams scored a season-high 15 points in the last game against Florida Atlantic and has raised her scoring average to 6.7 points per game.
MSU coach Vic Schaefer said the progress of Sherise has a great deal to do with getting her eyes fixed.
"If you are shooting three out of 15 from point blank range, I had to ask her if she had glasses," Schaefer said. "She said, 'yes,' then I asked, 'where are they?' She said, 'they are back in St. Louis,' so we had to get her some contacts here in town and it's a whole new world for her so that's a part of it."
After Carnecia scored a season-high 26 points against Savannah State, she dropped to only nine points against Southern Mississippi and improved to 10 points against Florida Atlantic.
Schaefer said inconsistent play from Carnecia and the other newcomers can be expected with the Bulldogs.
"You're going to have nights where we are gang-busters and the next you are wondering where is that person," Schaefer said. "I think that's the evolution of a young and inexperienced team. We're going to have the ebs and flows that go with that."
The next step in that process for MSU takes place today against Florida A&M at Humphrey Coliseum. The game tips at 2 p.m.
Schaefer anticipates a different type of challenge from the Lady Rattlers.
"They are going to do some things defensively to us, trap us and do some things in a zone," Schaefer said. "They are a super athletic basketball team so this week, we are preparing for a different kind of strategy as far as what people will do to us. It will be another step for us, part of the evolution and learning the total game. We'll have to be prepared for an athletic and good basketball team."
The Bulldogs have won four of their first nine games of the season.
Schaefer believes the record could be much better if he had done things differently.
"I feel awfully responsible that we're not 6-3," Schaefer said. "My philosophy has always been that a four-point game either way with 4 (minutes) to go, it's a coaches job to get those kids home. Obviously, we've lost two at the buzzer.
"I like the way our kids are competing. We don't play well all of the time, but I think we play pretty hard. I just like the way they are competing and trying to please. As a coach, all you ever want is to have kids that are trying to do what you ask them to do."View more articles in:

First-gen Vettes have never been known for handling prowess. When new they could compete with other sports cars, but once the '63 Corvette Sting Ray came out with its independent rear suspension, the handling woes of the solid axle cars were exposed like Tiger Woods in the tabloids. Undaunted, it was a C1 Vette that The Roadster Shop chose to enter in the second-annual Super Chevy Suspension & Handling Challenge.
The Roadster Shop is known for building some of the best handling muscle cars on the planet. Its selection of newly-manufactured chassis come equipped with the modern suspension parts necessary to make a classic car handle unlike anything from days of old. When it came time to design a bolt-on chassis for the '53-62 Corvettes, a basket case '62 was found to be used for mock up work, and eventually built into a demo vehicle for the new chassis.
That is, until Barry Bloomquist walked into the shop. He had stopped by to get parts for his '56 Ford pickup when he spied the '62 being worked on. One thing led to another, and in July of 2008 Barry became the new owner of the Corvette. The plan was to build a chassis offering unparalleled handling, performance, and ride comfort while fitting the stock Corvette body. Barry and Jeremy Gerber, one of The Roadster Shop's owners, began brainstorming the car's particulars, and the initial plan soon morphed into a vehicle of epic proportions. One key theme was to build a Corvette with the looks of a modern concept car if GM built a '62 Corvette today. Artist Eric Brockmeyer was called in for visual renderings of the ideas being discussed and design input.
For the front suspension, the C1 uses Detroit Speed & Engineering components. During the design process, all ideas were heavily inspired by European supercars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi, and others. Jeremy and Roadster Shop's chief fabricator Chad Glasshagel worked together on the build. Numerous hand-formed aluminum pieces were made, and hours were spent mocking up everything to ensure every line, angle, and curve of the Vette flowed smoothly. Dean Ellis, Roadster Shop's CNC plasma cutting and C.A.D. design chief, made the custom brackets and mounts on the car, and Jim Taylor handled the fiberglass work. Once finished, the car went to Joe Belfiore in The Roadster Shop's paint department, where he practically lived getting the body prepped and painted.
For power, the Corvette uses a Turn Key Engine Supply-built and tuned LS7 crate engine with custom exhaust, connected to a Tremec T56 trans custom-built by Bowler Performance Transmission. Power goes through a 9-inch Factory-built 9-inch style rear with Strange Engineering 31-spline axles and Tru Track limited slip differential. Braking is handled by Brembo at all four corners, with massive six-piston calipers on 14-inch rotors up front, and four-piston calipers on 13-inch rotors out back. Forgeline custom three-piece aluminum wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires hold the car to the asphalt.
Once finished, it was time for the "C1-RS" (as it was christened) to take on one of its designed challenges, winning the Goodguys 2009 Street Machine of the Year award. The C1-RS took top honors, stunning the judges with its awesome looks and head-spinning autocross performance.
Driver's Impression-On the Autocross Course First off, this is "That Car." You know, the one that just stands out no matter what. It oozes arrogance, dares you to challenge limits. It makes you run with scissors. Hell, it's the reason we want to eat dessert as an appetizer. The image and theme, drivetrain and chassis, the workmanship and attention to detail-all were proof that The Roadster Shop stepped up to the plate and hit a homer with this Corvette.

It's official: More people stream Netflix content to their televisions via PS3 than any other device worldwide. This is a major milestone, and one we're particularly proud of considering the myriad Netflix-compatible streaming devices on the market, from other gaming consoles to smart TVs and internet-connected set-top boxes.
To demonstrate why our partnership has been so valuable for both PlayStation owners and Netflix users, we asked Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to offer some further insight:
"PS3 is our largest TV-connected platform in terms of Netflix viewing, and this year, at times, even surpassed the PC in hours of Netflix enjoyment to become our number one platform overall. PS3 is a natural fit for Netflix in terms of developing and first deploying our most advanced features. We can transparently update our application with new features on a daily basis, and through the free PlayStation Network, people around the world can sign up for Netflix directly from their PS3."
PS3 first introduced Netflix in November 2009, and since then it has become a primary development platform for the Netflix streaming experience, giving PS3 owners early access to many new features that come to other platforms later. For example, PS3 was the first computer entertainment system to offer Netflix in full 1080p video resolution with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus™ surround sound and to offer post play, second screen controls, on device sign-up, and alternate audio options including subtitles. PS3 is currently the only platform to experience a new voice user interface called "Max" that's currently being tested.

A&M student's Twitter dare leaves him committed to streak at game

Texas A&M junior Austin Black wanted to show his college pride by streaking during the upcoming sold-out A&M vs. Alabama game Saturday. To pump himself up for the nude deed he asked that he get 10,000 re-tweets.
The game is already going to be a big deal because Johnny Manziel yada, yada, yada.
Black actually received over 17,000 re-tweets. You can see on his Twitter feed here that he's becoming a bit worried about achieving his goal, too.
Black's been answering his fans and detractors on the social media site since he decided that the peanut gallery should decide his fate.
Current Houston Texans lineman Ben Jones, a former Georgia Bulldog, made sure to re-tweet the business management major.
College Station police spokeswoman Patricia Logan said if Black were to streak under their jurisdiction, he could be charged with disorderly conduct and exposure (good to know), but she referred us back to A&M's police since they handle security for game days.
Lt. Allan Baron of the University Police Department says that the young man could receive criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct by indecent exposure charges if he does decide to run onto Kyle Field in the buff.
"If it occurs, we will address it. If he decides to make that choice there will be criminal charges," said Lt. Baron on Wednesday afternoon.
Baron says this could mean a $2,000 fine , up to 180 days in jail, and a Class B misdemeanor, depending on how severely the system decides to treat Black.
Baron told The Battalion, A&M's student paper, that Black would be violating the A&M student code of conduct, which could mean a number of things for his academic career.
"Under the student code of conduct, he would be violating statutes under the student code of conduct by committing this act." Baron told The Battalion.
Black told the paper that he's conferred with a lawyer who also said that he could be in serious trouble but he doesn't seem to mind. He's already gotten a marriage proposal out of the deal.

Stretch trim on straps, seamless inner legs and flatlock seams offer even more comfort, while Powerband compressive cuffs reduce lower leg pressure and support without restricting circulation.
Often simplicity determines adaptability. Minimalist versatility is incorporated in every piece of this collection to perfectly outfit that multi-purpose athlete.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.

I got into a car accident last week and one of the injuries was I broke my left hand and I can't type with it for very long, nor can I type with one hand and will be out for a while (creative already knows) but will try to be on when I can and type. I am going in for surgery tomorrow to repair the broken bone in my hand, but want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and that includes New Year's! Thanks guys.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I had some questions arising out of my effort to set Sarge up like SuSE, which
allows me to drag and drop pictures from a digital camera to my hard drive.
On SuSE I just go to the My Computer icon, and click on an icon for a USB
disk. This all happens in the Konqueror web browser.
A few weeks ago Bill gave Pete directions on how to set up the My Computer
icon on KDE. I've followed those directions, but have been unsuccessful in
getting an icon that will give me a GUI access to the camera.
The first problems I encountered were permissions problems; e.g. "Only root
can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/camera." I still haven't solved these
problems. It's confusing because /dev/sda1 seems to have the same
permissions on SuSE and Debian. But I have become interested in the
following issue.
One error message is something like "/dev/sda1 is not found in fstab or mtab."
In SuSE the following entry automatically appears in mtab any time that the
camera is plugged into the usb port:
"/dev/sda1 /media/usb-0039731344:0:0:0p1 subfs rw,no
exec,nodev,sync,procuid,iocharset=utf8 0 0." In my cheesy way, I began
putting variations of this entry into my Sarge fstab. I got different error
messages, but became interested in the one that said that the Sarge kernel
had no support for subfs.
After Googling, I came across this website: http://submount.sourceforge.net/
I am starting to think that SuSE is automatically mounting the usb port when
the camera is attached because of "Submount." The web site claims that Sarge
is one of the distros that has a binary form of Submount available. But I
can't find such a package on the Debian website. So here are my questions:
1) Do people agree that it's Submount that is allowing SuSE to automatically
mount the usb port when the camera is plugged into the computer?
2) Does anybody know if Sarge has a Submount package that can be gotten with
3) Is anybody dragging and dropping camera photos from the camera to the
computer on Debian? If so, how do you set this up?
I may be back later for the permissions issues.

Just wanted to see people's opinions on the Ouya gaming console.
Personally I think it will be a lot better for mobile gaming as I have a full controller and I don't have to dodgy touch screen controls. Games like Dead Trigger will be 100 times better.
Also the Emulators make me very happy too. I can play all the good old games too, the controller will be a huge benefit to this.

Comments about McDavid Adult Athletic Supporter with Mesh Pocket:
McDavid could nearly have a winner here if this simple product had better elastic along the sides of the "pouch" - it's really the only area that this product fails and is ineffective. I suppose if a cup is being worn, then, that's a different scenario - however - for general use where impact protection isn't a concern, it's not going to provide the support that one needs. If this one concern was corrected and redesigned - I'd probably buy them in bulk as the waist elastic is perfect, comfortable and durable. Wish they'd use that same elastic on their regular straps.
Best Uses
Comments about McDavid Adult Athletic Supporter with Mesh Pocket:
This jock is best used with a cup. Without the cup the jock does not provide the support that a jock should provide. The Shock Doctor jock with cup pocket, on the other hand, provides good support even without the cup because the inner pouch is designed for this purpose while the outer pouch is bigger to accept a cup.
Best Uses
Comments about McDavid Adult Athletic Supporter with Mesh Pocket:
The jock is designed to be worn with a cup, not without one. It does not provide the proper lift a jock should provide otherwise because it is too roomy.
The best jock to be used with or without a cup is the Shock Doctor jock with cup pocket. The inner pouch holds things close while the outer pouch is larger to accomodate a cup. In other words, it is dual purpose. A bit cheaper, too, but every bit as durable.

Great Gray Owl
In 2005 there was a massive influx of Great Gray Owls into the northern United States. Normally this species inhabits the boreal forests of Canada and northern United States where it feeds primarily on voles. Vole populations are cyclic and crash every so often, which forces these owls to travel south to find food.
I had heard about how tame these owls were given they inhabit remote areas and do not have much contact with people. I was thrilled to be able to get full frame images of these birds with just a 70-200mm lens. They are very charismatic and exciting to see in the field and provided me with an experience I will not forget. If you ever have the opportunity to seem them in the wild, I highly recommend it.

Having the most popular performance engine ever built, Chevy small-block owners are lucky indeed. Despite the introduction of the LS engine family (see Modern Mouse elsewhere in this issue), the original Mouse motor continues service in everything from street/strip machines to one-ton work trucks.
One of the keys to the success of the little V-8 is its versatility. Essentially, it can be tuned for almost any application. Obviously a Camaro owner looking to run in the 11s will choose a different combination than a truck owner looking to haul his favorite bass boat. The great thing about the Chevy is that despite the differences in the application, the basic short-block remains the same. The benefit of this is that just about any buildup, from mild to wild, can start with the very same block, crank, rods, and pistons.
To illustrate this fact, we decided to take your average 350 and subject it to four different performance packages. The idea was to start with a bone-stock engine, then step things up with the proper combination of heads, cam, and intake. The exercise started with an engine producing less than 300 hp but finished up with over 500. Though it is possible to exceed this power output with an engine displacing just 350 cubic inches, 95 percent of street/strip small-block buildups fall between the proposed power outputs.
Before getting to the particular combinations, it is important to cover something we call shifting the torque curve. Time was when the yardstick for a performance engine was 1 horsepower per cubic inch. Applied to our 350, that would equate to an even 350 horsepower. We know from experience that it is possible to greatly exceed this specific output; in fact, race motors have been known to more than double it. Most street (and strip) motors fall well short of dedicated race motors, achieving somewhere near 1.5 horsepower per cubic inch. The power output of the motor is a function of its ability to process air—the more air in (actually through) the motor, the more power out. Things like high-flow intakes, cylinder heads, and wilder cam timing naturally play a part, but so too does engine speed. Nearly all of the modifications to a stock motor increase the engine speed (rpm) where the motor makes peak power.
The downside to this shift in the power curve is that the sizeable gains offered in middle and upper portions of the curve eventually come with a loss in low-speed torque. Alas, there is no free lunch when it comes to maximizing power production. With that in mind, check out the different combinations and see which one might be right for you.

2) installed 1.1 version

nevermind. turns out all I need to to was kill the dialog warning. LEGO could have put an proceed/cancel button on the thing.
- Sep 12, 2007, 3:01:00 AM
I personally feel that they should not be charging people for a .1 upgrade of the software. Maybe if it was version 2.0.
NXT has only been around a little over a year now. I bought my 1st set for my birthday in September last year right after they went on sale.
I don't know why they bothered stipulating May 2007 when they could just as easily offered it free to all the die hard fans who rushed out and bought it right away.
It seems like the people who were the most eager to get the NXT are now the ones who are being punished and have to pay for not waiting.
- Sep 20, 2007, 9:18:00 PM
If 1.1 was required for you to use your robot kit I'd say you have a valid complaint. But 1.0 will work just fine and no one is forcing you to buy 1.1. 20$ is not a bad price for an upgrade a year after you purchased the kit but there are always going to be those that want it for free. Lego can't win on this no matter what they do. There will be the same people a year from now complaining when 2.0 comes out and Lego charges for it.
- Sep 20, 2007, 11:06:00 PM
1.1 doesn't work just fine on intel macs. The software is just plain bad, and bluetooth is inoperable. Lego represented that an update would be forthcoming to make the software a Universal Binary and to add bluetooth support. Well, it has been a year, and finally the update is here... for more money.

I was looking for the new 1.1 software that Lego had been promissing. I have a Macbook Pro and the bluetooth does not work with with the original software. Lego did not mention that they would charge for simple bug fixes.
- Oct 2, 2007, 6:45:00 AM
I bought a NXT in July 2007 to use with my Mac Book Pro. After spending hours trying to get Bluetooth to work and googling for answers I found this thread.
Lego should be embarrassed at their behaviour. Not what I expect from a company I have lover since I was a boy.
