Team Rankings: MacKinnon boosts status of Colorado Avalanche prospect pool
Below is the 21-30 segment of the Hockey's Future NHL Team Rankings. The teams are ranked in terms of the quality of their overall prospect pool as voted on by members of the HF staff. For reference, just the top five prospects for each club are listed. To be eligible, a prospect must meet HF's prospect criteria. The rankings are done twice a year, with this ranking meant to represent the state of the prospect pools in the early stages of the 2013-14 season.
Extra years in development leagues for Colorado Avalanche prospects will pay off in the future
The Colorado Avalanche are off to a hot start this season and youngsters like Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, and Nathan MacKinnon are big reasons for their early success. What all three have in common is that they were able to jump immediately from the junior ranks to the NHL after being drafted.

Nathan MacKinnon's impact in NHL heads the Colorado Avalanche's storylines for 2013-14 season
All eyes will be on Nathan MacKinnon on October 2nd as he will make the Colorado Avalanche's opening night roster as the third line pivot. The 18-year-old rookie has big expectations coming in as the first overall pick but is in an excellent situation to excel as he will have the opportunity to learn from some of the league's best centermen, including rising star Matt Duchene.

Hooked Rugs: Floor to Wall
- Login to add to Favorites
- 1 Comment
Hooked rugs have moved up in the world, from the kitchen floor to the wall as works of art.
"There's a new generation of hookers whose work will never see the underside of a shoe," says Jessie Turbayne, a rug restorer and author of six books on the subject. For a growing number of hookers (yes, that's what they call themselves), "hooking is like painting. The wool is their paint and the hook is their paintbrush," says Jessie, who has a large collection of rugs in her Westwood, Massachusetts, studio.
Similar to paintings, there is now a wide range of hooked rug designs, from stark modern forms to folkloric scenes, subtle landscapes, and expressionistic self-portraits. But it wasn't always that way. Rug hooking was simply a way to use scraps of cloth too worn for even rag duty.
The hooked rug originated in the New England states and Canadian Maritime Provinces in the early 1800s. Wool, flannel, and cotton pieces were cut into 1?4-inch-wide strips and then pulled in loops through a stiff woven backing such as burlap. These rugs typically featured primitive motifs such as farm animals, pets, and flowers, or random stripes of color.
By the late 1800s, patterns were being stamped onto the burlap (showing the hooker what areas to fill in and in which color), allowing more complicated designs to be created and reproduced. Rug hooking became a booming craft industry over the next half-century, especially in the Northeast.
The evolution of the hooked rug from craft to art occurred as hookers began to explore and create more one-of-a-kind works. Today, these rugs have gained appreciation among collectors and interior designers.
A hooked rug — whether an art rug or an antique — adds color, texture, and a personal statement to a room, says interior designer Linda Vantine of East Sandwich, Massachusetts. By virtue of being handcrafted, hooked rugs add a distinct personal element to a room, she says. "It could be a family heirloom or a new design, but you know someone spent hours working on it. It's intimate."
This is true of her favorite rug — a wedding rug designed and hooked by her mother-in-law, Marcy Van Roosen, a longtime hooker now living in North Carolina.
The rug portrays two folk figures, with the newlywed couple's initials and the date. "We stood on it for the wedding ceremony. Then I hung it over the bed. It's a new family tradition," Linda says.

Unlike regular digital cameras that capture images of the visible light reflected by objects, thermal imagers create pictures by measuring infrared energy or heat. The thermal imager then assigns colors based on the temperature differences it measures.
With a small amount of training, most people can readily spot abnormal temperatures and follow the heat trail to energy waste. The technique works best when used by people who already possess a good working knowledge of the structures and systems being scanned and can better interpret the temperature variances they see on camera.
A typical scan can show energy saving opportunities of up to 15 percent, with varying degrees of repair investments.
Thermal imaging experts suggest that building owners, building managers and/or facilities engineers inspect the following systems to identify energy losses:
Building envelope "Building envelope" refers to the building structure as well as the climate controls within it. The envelope is what separates the outside environment from the inside, and it's frequently imperfect. The key to building envelope inspection is that the degree of temperature variance may be very small—one or two degrees. So, the best time to scan is during a heating or cooling season, when the outside temperature is at least 10 °C degrees higher or lower than the inside temperature.* Similarly, beware of thermal loading, or other environmental factors, which could mask or distort potential problems. For instance, don't scan an exterior wall when the sun is shining on it. When performing roof scans, make sure that the roof has been dry and free of water or ice. The best inspections should being performed on clear, windless evenings after dusk, or before dawn, when thermal differentials in the roofing materials are in a transient state. (Be aware that not all roofs can be effectively inspected using infrared thermography.)
What to scan:
Anticipated savings: The Department of Energy estimates that following up on the findings of an energy audit of a building's envelope saves most facilities at least 15 percent on energy bills.
HVAC system The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is usually one of the biggest energy consumers within a facility.
What to scan:
Anticipated savings: Studies indicate that commercial buildings with constant-airvolume systems often experience energy losses from air leakage of as much as 33 %. Also, studies indicate that air-supply temperature differentials due to conduction losses can be as great as 6 °C (10.8 °F) or more.1 Considerable savings can be achieved in with duct-sealing and insulation remedies.
Motors and generators Electrical motors are one of the biggest energy consumers in any facility. Overheating and malfunctioning motors and generators tend to indicate mechanical or electrical inefficiencies that lead to more energy use and ultimate failure. Since generators are, in a sense, "reverse motors," diagnostics are similar for both kinds of units. What to scan:
Anticipated savings: With motors and generators, specific energy losses are usually of less consequence than failure of the unit. The impact of a motor or generator failure will be contingent upon the nature of the enterprise and the system(s) affected.
That said, the two best ways to reduce motor energy expenditures are to:
Steam heating systems Today, steam systems are more common in industrial settings than commercial settings, but some commercial buildings still use them for central heating. Where to look and what to look for:
Anticipated savings: In a 100-psig-steam system, if a medium-sized trap fails open it will waste about $3,000 per year.
Boilers Boilers, of course, are the heart of steam and hot water heating systems. What to scan:
Anticipated savings: In boilers, major energy losses— those associated with stack losses as well as radiation and convention losses—typically represent 10 % to 20 % of fuel input, depending upon fuel type. Insulation and boiler economizers can reduce these losses.2
Electrical system Many people don't realize that electrical systems can actually waste money. As components degrade and resistance increases, incremental waste occurs.
What to scan:
Anticipated savings: According to some estimates, lighting accounts for about 20 % of all electricity use in the U.S. and more than 40 % of electricity use in offices, stores, and other commercial buildings. While complete retrofits of lighting systems are producing phenomenal returns on investment, keeping lighting controls (time clocks, photo sensors, occupancy detectors, etc.) operating properly will help save energy.
Conclusion Thermal imagers have come down so far in price that most facilities can recoup the cost of purchase in terms of energy savings within six months. Plus, as this article indicates, incorporating this technique into regular maintenance adds all kinds of efficiencies to a maintenance team as well as helping them identify and prevent expensive electro-mechanical failures.

Oven canning
Is it really unsafe? I have read warning after warning about it, but there is a very popular cook/gardener here in Denmark that has been demonstrating it on TV for years and I just wonder how she can get away with it if it really is so dangerous. It's on a public broadcasting channel, so I'd think they'd be alert to that kind of thing.
On the other hand, she's been canning in the oven for years, and sells tons of cookbooks describing the process. Several of my neighbors have canned everything from meat to tomatoes to fruit using the method. It sure looks easier than the hot water bath method, and cheaper than the pressure cooker method since I don't have the equipment, so I'm determined to find out the facts here. Anyone?
I apologize if this has been posted a bazillion times already--I did a search and didn't find it, though.
It boils down to this. Food science/research has provided us with information to reduce the incidence of food born illness. If you have read the warnings then you have read about uneven or insufficient heating, jar breakage and the necessity of canning low acid food in a pressure canner. Oven canning MAY work under some circumstances. There other circumstances where it is not safe. Water bath and pressure canning have a higher degree of safety in their respective applications. You either take advantage of what has been learned or not. It is all about reducing your odds of getting sick. Food born illness can be mild or result in death. The choice seems pretty easy to me, as I have seen the results of severe food born illness, but you will find plenty who have used less safe methods for years and say "nobody ever got sick".
First: Canning in the oven should mean placing jars filled with food in a shallow container with WATER!. Second: THE safety factor is whether the lid SEALS!!. If the lid seals, the food is good. Third: Anytime a lid does not seal (using ANY method of canning), when the lid is removed the smell will be the undeniable clue. Period.
re: launicaliz
"If the lid seals, the food is good."
This is not true. The spores that can cause botulism grow only in the absence of oxygen in low-acid, moist environments. The reason for pressure canning is to heat low-acid food in the middle of the jar to a high enough temperature to kill the spores (higher than the boiling point of water). High acid foods should still be heating in a boiling water canner to kill other microorganisms. From the National Center for Home Food Preservation:
"When ideal conditions exist for growth, the spores produce vegetative cells which multiply rapidly and may produce a deadly toxin within 3 to 4 days of growth in an environment consisting of:
- a moist, low-acid food
- a temperature between 40° and 120°F
- less than 2 percent oxygen
Botulinum spores are on most fresh food surfaces. Because they grow only in the absence of air, they are harmless on fresh foods."
re: launicaliz
"THE safety factor is whether the lid SEALS!!. If the lid seals, the food is good. "
There is quite a bit more to canning safety than that. Obviously, unsealed cans shouldn't be stored/used. But a sealed container can still make you sick or even kill you. Offhand, I would think that a highly reliable, accurate oven could pasteurize jarred food. Which is not at all the same as sterilizing it. You'd probably be quite safe if you froze the jars after canning - but then what was the point of canning?
Wekick said it right. Just because you can do something a few times (or even habitually) and not get sick doesn't mean it's safe. Botulism is nothing to fool around with.
re: launicaliz
Wow. All three points are wrong.
Because an oven is not under pressure, that means the temperature of any water, either inside the oven or inside the jars, can never rise above 212F, which is not enough to kill the botulinum spores, which need a temp of at least 240F.
The second point has already been addressed. WRT point three: Botulism is invisible, tasteless and odorless.
re: rhondamike
Who do you know who puts "chemicals" into their home-canned food?
re: rhondamike
I'd like to know what authority you have to make a declarative statement like this about the general use of oven canning?
re: rhondamike
"NEVER once did anyone get sick."
Sorry, your information is wrong. My mother was haunted all her life by the death of a classmate, and the girl's entire family, from eating improperly home-canned food. The family had not been seen for several days, and somebody went to the house to check on them. All dead. Botulism.
I pack sterilized jars with sterilized lids with cubed meat. Add tsp of salt and pepper. Fill a large cake pan half full of water. Twist rings down until it just begins to tighten. Too tight and air won't escape as air heats and expands breaking the jar. Place jars in the water bath. Bake in oven for4 hours at 250. If you need to add water to pan during baking, boil water before adding or you could cause jars to explode. After 4 hours turn off oven and allow to cool in the oven over night.
re: Tater62
You're begging for trouble. That process does not sterilize your cubed meat, and the pH is not low enough to prevent bacterial growth.
re: Tater62
Meat needs to be pressure canned. Oven canning isn't safe for even high acid foods but for low acid foods like meat, that's just crazy. I hope you are not feeding that to anyone.
re: rasputina
How do you explain the fact that my Grand parents,my Father and now myself have been doing meat this way every year since 1921? I'm 52 and have given away canned pints to everyone for 30 years. I've even eaten canned meat that was 3 years old. You must not have your jars or lids sterilized properly.
re: Tater62
re: cowboyardee
Do not confuse the term water bath with boiling jars in a water bath on the stove top because the temp only gets to 212 degrees at best.
Pressure canning is suggested to make sure the internal temperature reaches 240 degrees and then many suggest holding this temp for 10 - 90 minutes. Here's what the CDC says: "A pressure cooker must be used to can vegetables at home because it can reach temperatures above boiling, which is necessary to kill botulism spores".
In my family, we employ oven canning, where the internal temperature reaches 250 degrees and then maintained for 4 hours. Botulism does not respond to pressure, it responds to the fact that we are able to attain an internal meat temp of +212 degrees by oven in the same manner that a pressure cooker is able to attain 240 degrees under 10-14 lbs of pressure.
Chow for Now!
re: Tater62
sorry. if you've found a way to make liquid water reach temperatures above 212'F at atmospheric pressure, the Nobel Prize people would be interested in hearing from you.
your jars are not reaching 250'F or 240'F internal temperature.
you cite the CDC about using a pressure canner and yet ignore the CDC/FDA/USDA/FSIS comments stating that oven canning is inadequate.
re: Tater62
sterilizing whatever has nothing to do with it. you really should read up on this stuff before you do kill somebody. you are not following safe practices.
there were 420 billion rounds of ammunition fired in WW2; there were not 420 billion dead or wounded. so, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. your number has simply not yet come up.
it takes 240'F to kill the botulism spore. the oven air temp setting of 250'F sounds good until you get to the water bath part. the water and the jar contents slightly above and all below the water level will never exceed the 212'F boiling point of water.
if the spores are there, and the pH is too high, you're in for a bad day....
re: PSRaT
I'm sorry, there must be a misunderstanding, I though I was clear on our technique. Our jars are sitting in a aluminum cake pan with about 1 inch of water in the bottom. About 3/4 of the jar is exposed to the 250 degrees oven temps, thus the heat radiates the heat to the bottom 1/4 of the jar, raising the temp of the contents above 212. As the heat evaporates our "water bath water" we add additional boiling water to the cake pan to prevent the jars from breaking as is the case when you add cold tap water to hot jars! 1 hour into the baking process we can see the contents boiling inside the jar.
re: Tater62
CDC says it it takes 212 degrees for 10 minutes to kill botulism..
can you cite the CDC reference for that?
re: Tater62
Check your CDC link again. At 212, it takes 10 minutes to denature the botulism toxin. The clostridium botulinum spores (bacteria) themselves are not killed until a temp of about 240 is reached and sustained. Denaturing the toxin and killing the bacteria that make the toxin are two different things.
This means that anything boiled to 212 for 10 minutes will not give you botulism... if you eat it right then. But if you let it cool and give it time, the spores that were never killed by the heating process can still create more toxin.

EAST LOTHIAN, Scotland --- Chattanooga rising junior Stephan Jaeger advanced to the round of 32 at the 2010 British Amateur with a 5&3 win over Oliver Farr of Wales at the famed links at Muirfield in Scotland Wednesday. Jaeger shook off a slow start to cruise to the victory.
Farr was 2 up through three holes when Jaeger claimed a win at No. 4 with a par. He won again at six with a par to even the match and took the lead for good at nine with a birdie.
Jaeger, the 2010 Southern Conference Player of the Year, held that lead heading to the 12th hole where he won the first of four straight closing Farr out on 15 with a conceded birdie for the 5&3 win.
Next up for Jaeger is Arizona State rising senior James Byrne who was a 5&4 winner over Portugal's Tiago Rodrigues. Byrne is the 20th-ranked player in the world (R&A World Amateur Golf Rankings). Jaeger was recently named to the PING All-East Region for the second time in as many years. He is ranked No. 103 in the world.
The winner of the morning match moves on the afternoon's round of 16 matchup with the winner of Alex Christie (England) and Alexis Szappanos (Germany) for a berth in the quarterfinals. Christie and Szappanos claimed 1 up wins today over Olivier Rozner (France) and Mu Hu (China), respectively.
Jaeger is looking to improve on his round of 32 finish a year ago at Formsby where he lost 4&3 to England's Mark Hillson. In the round of 64 last June, he defeated the UK's Jonathan Gidney 3&2 to open match play.
The British Amateur Champion receives an invitation to the Masters and British Open. Last year's winner, Matteo Manassero of Italy, made the cut at both. The 17-year old finished tied for 13th at the 2009 British Open and tied for 36th at the 2010 Masters.
The last time the amateur was competed at Muirfield was 1998. Sergio Garcia claimed the title with a 7&6 win over Craig Williams of Wales. That field included 2006 U.S. Open winner Geoff Ogilvy and 2008 Masters Champion Trevor Immelman who both lost in the quarterfinal of match play.GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs.

HOW do you study several thousand dinosaur footprints spread across 2 kilometres of a soft-rock outcrop at a slant of 60 degrees? Zap them with a laser.
The footprints, at the Fumanya site in the southern Pyrenees in Spain, record the passage of huge long-necked dinosaurs called titanosaurs across a muddy area about 70 million years ago. The problem is that the footprint layer is soft and crumbling, and climbing the steep surface could damage the tracks.
So Phil Manning of the University of Manchester, UK, and his team scanned the surface with LIDAR - a laser technique that maps features in a similar way to radar. The scanner and allied software generated a detailed 3D contour map of the surface and prints (Palaeontology, DOI: 10.1111/j.1475-4983.2008.00789.x).

Residents honor, remember people with Alzheimer's
Zack Baddorf
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Across the country Sunday, people gathered together for a National Commemorative Candle Lighting to remember those with Alzheimer's Disease. About a dozen Tampa Bay residents met at the Albert Whitted Park in St. Petersburg on Sunday night to honor their loved ones.
Karen Walsh's step-mother-in-law Billie had Alzheimer's for almost 20 years. For four of those years, Walsh looked after her. She said it was hard.
"But there were a lot of really joyful moments in all the hardships," she said.
Walsh said she and her step-mother-in-law would walk around the neighborhood and it was like everything was new to Billie. Eventually, the senior didn't remember Walsh's name.
"Even though Billie wouldn't know who I was exactly, she knew she knew me and she knew that she liked me. And so she would say, 'Oh here she comes again' or 'Oh, that's her' so my name became Her but the emotions were still true, even though she couldn't have told you who I was or how I was related to her," Walsh explained.
Billie died about three years ago.
But her memory lives on. Walsh lit a candle for her at the tribute in St. Petersburg. The event was an initiative of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, a nonprofit organization which provides care to people with Alzheimer's disease and their families.
The foundation reports 5.1 million Americans have Alzheimer's.
Cindy Gordon is community relations coordinator at Brentwood Senior Living Community in St Petersburg. The living center where she works has about 80 residents, including a unit for 30 people with Alzheimer's.
She said the disease is devastating, and not only for those who have it.
"I find that it's really devastating for the families," Gordon said. "Once I think a person reaches a certain stage of the illness, they're no longer aware of what's going on but as families we really suffer and that's when we watch our loved one kind of turn into somebody different."
November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month but much about the disease is unclear, including what causes it. Gordon says there's a lot more to learn.
"And that's I think really what we're trying to do tonight is just continue to keep awareness. I mean this is an epidemic proportion of people who are being diagnosed and younger and younger too. And that's scary," she said.
Gordon said a few residents in her center in their early 60s already have Alzheimers.
"That's pretty young and it's alarming to me the first time I meet people that are that young, it's earth shattering to think that you know as a 40-year-old person, in 20 years, I could be afflicted by this disease," Gordon told WMNF.
She said Alzheimer's can start innocently enough. But just because someone misplaces their keys doesn't mean they've got the disease, "because we're all going to forget and lose track of things," she said.
"But ... watch for some of the unusual things, the getting lost, going to the grocery store and can't find your way home when you go every week and all of the sudden mom calls and she's ten miles off the beaten track, that's a real red flag," Gordon continued.
Going to the doctor for testing is the next step. Gordon says there are "wonderful medications" that can ward off the disease. She added that care giving for people with dementia can be trying for individuals and recommends that people seek assistance. Walsh, who cared for her step-mother-in-law, has some advice for people taking care of those with Alzheimer's: live in the moment.
"You can't worry about if something makes sense because otherwise everyone gets upset," Walsh said. "You have to try to just go with whatever happens, whether it makes any sense at all or not. And it doesn't matter if your shoes mat and if you have on a crazy hat. And it doesn't matter if you eat dessert for breakfast. It doesn't matter if you have beer for breakfast. You gotta just go with what happens and enjoy those special moments that appear because sometimes there are real lucid moments in their too and you have your person back for a second. And you have to just cherish that part."
Gordon with the Brentwood Senior Living Community said those people with low-income may have a tough time getting funding to provide care for their loved ones with Alzheimer's. She said the legislature should better fund Medicaid programs.comments powered by Disqus

Jean Shumanski
Jean Shumanski of Parkland, FL passed away May 12th, 2013.
Dear Shumanski Family,
It saddens me terribly to learn of Jean's passing. We were never close friends, but we had that "diabetes thing" in common. Knowing all that I know now about how important and how helpful that connection can be, I wish we had been able to connect then. Please feel free to contact me should you feel the need. Sometimes it can help talking to someone who is living in those shoes. No matter what, know that my thoughts are with you all.

Designed with today's presenter in mind, the RoadWarrior has a strikingly modern appearance. Screen height adjusts instantly at the touch of a finger. Standard tear-resistant fiberglass matt white viewing surface meets the needs of today's LCD projectors and computer-generated text - high resolution, broad viewing cone and accurate color rendition. All viewing surfaces have 1 1/2" black borders at sides and are supported by 7/8" black aluminum dowel with full-width slat saddle. Aluminum housing and feet are sturdy and streamlined.
Setting up the RoadWarrior is a snap. Just set it where you want it...floor or table. Release two clasps to open the lid. Rotate feet into position for stability. Extend the screen to desired height (pneumatic cylinders support it at any level). Includes enough black "rise" to clear a standard laptop. Detachable shoulder strap included.

Glenn Gawdin scored the shootout winner to defeat the Brandon Wheat Kings
© Steven Mah
Glenn Gawdin
The Swift Current Broncos won another shootout game with a 4-3 win over the Brandon Wheat Kings Sunday. The Broncos have now earned nine of a possible 10 points in their past five games to pull within five points of the Regina Pats for the East Division lead. They opened the year with just one shootout win in their first seven attempts but have now won their past two shootouts.
The Broncos twice tied the game and eventually took the lead before a couple unfortunate bounces led to the tying goal for Brandon with a 2:39 left in regulation.
Coda Gordon and Glenn Gawdin both scored in the shootout, while Eetu Laurikainen stopped Braylon Shmyr and Richard Nejezchleb to clinch the win. Gawdin, 16, ended his second straight shootout game when he deked to his right and fired the puck past Jordan Papirny.
Playing their third game in as many days, the Broncos fell behind twice in the second period but got goals from Andrew Johnson and Jay Merkley to tie the game each time. Johnson put the Broncos in the lead with his 10th goal of the season late in the second period when he kept the puck on a long two-on-one and squeezed it through the glove side Papirny.
Jayce Hawryluk tied the game for Brandon in the third period when he banked in a puck from below the goalline after an official had got in the way of the Broncos to allow Brandon to get the puck in the first place.
"It was good," said Johnson after the game. "I think it was a complete 60-minute effort. They got some bounces on their goals but we stuck to the plan for 65 minutes plus the shootout as well."
Laurikainen improved to 22-19-1-5 with 25 saves. Papirny dropped to 19-12-4-3 with 36 saves before allowing two goals on three shootout attempts.
"Yeah it was huge," said defenseman Jordan Harris. "We came out strong. The D were struggling a bit at the start but after the 10-minute mark in the first period we puled things together back there. The guys bought into the system tonight and doing whatever it takes to get pucks out and get pucks in and get shots on net, so yeah it was a huge win."
Swift Current remains sixth in the Eastern Conference with a 33-24-3-6 record.
Brandon sits four points back with a 31-26-6-3 record.
The Broncos have one day off to rest before hosting the Eastern Conference leading Edmonton Oil Kings on Tuesday in their fifth game in seven days.
"Edmonton is going to come in here on Tuesday and they are always going to be a tough game for us. We have to be at the top of our game for that," said Harris.

I've got a tender that I'll use after I run the stabil through the tank.
I'll most likely go with a Aztec8 headlight set up, or something similar. I was looking at the wiring diagrams and even if it was a naked Bandit headlight, there would still probably be some rewiring done.

It's comfortable and has serious balls, so for me it's a great touring bike.
There are many naked conversions and the maximum suzuki forum will guide you well. For me, it looks great being naked, but the wind beats the crap out of me above 80 for any stretch. Er, km/hr
I'm going with PR3s next because I live where it rains a lot and I don't put my bike away. Battery tender?
The naked conversion is the way to go for me. It's too ratty of a bike to consider putting so much effort into rebuilding the front fairing. I never would have picked out a 1200 for myself I'm really going to shy away from the high, high speeds.
The wheels are coming off tonight so I can get the PR2s mounted tomorrow. Rain? It only rains enough in South Dakota to grow brown grass. You don't like battery tenders?

You're gonna love this thing after you sort the carbs and fire it up in the spring. I have a windshield, 45L Givi boxes, and Givi rack with top box for commuting. The bike accelerates the same whether it is naked or loaded with luggage and riding 2-up. Gobs of low and mid-range torque that keeps you smiling the whole way to work!
Best of luck to ya and don't give up on it before you get a chance to flog it hard around the neighborhood! Just don't keep track of your MPG
What dual sport bars do you have on it? The bars I have on it now should be able to be adjusted to the posittion I want them, that's of course one of the next things to get sorted out. In case they don't workout, it would be nice to know what you're using. I'd love to see a picture of your set up, it sounds like how I'd set my bike up for touring.
I'm keeping the bike and not going to sell it. I've sold two bikes that I regretted later, my original B6 and an XS650 chopper (see pic) that I had put a lot of time into. If I need something different for touring or better mpg, then I'll pick up a Strom or cruiser.

Actually a few version back xorg became super auto config, where the
rule became basically = do not touch by hand. If you want hand massaged
stuff you put it in a different file and get it pulled in.
This page shows how to deal with the new layout.
It's almost identical to udev, and modrprobe stuff - where you put files
with config stuff in the directory and assign a priority with a number
at the start of the file name.
As for the S-video part, what brand of card and which driver are you using?

New History Books Published
| Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- The Social Science Book Publishing House of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea has recently brought out new history books (enlarged and revised editions).
They involves issues related to ascertaining the history of Ancient Korea, Koguryo, Koryo and Ri Dynasty, as well as research findings in recent years, backed by a wealth of historical materials.
Among the twenty new books are "History of Korean Political System", "History of the Korean People's Anti-Aggression Struggle", "History of Korean Peasants' Uprisings" "History of Development of Korean Towns in Middle Ages", "History of Korean Mining Industry", "History of Korean Fisheries", "History of Korean Music" and "History of Korean Customs".
"History of Korean Political System" deals with Korea's political structures and its features, functions and styles ranging from the ancient times to the modern times and "History of the Korean People's Anti-Aggression Struggle" introduces their struggle against invaders in a comprehensive, scientific and theoretical way.
"History of Early Relations between Korea and Japan" (three volumes) cites old documents, archaeological evidences and names of some places to prove that Koreans began migrating to islands of Japan and settling down there in B.C. fourth-B.C. third centuries and formed minor countries.
Jo Hui Sung, director of the History Institute of the Academy of Social Science and one of the compilers, told KCNA that the books would be much helpful to the readers in getting a correct understanding of the
5 000-year-old history and brilliant culture of the Korean nation.

A Miramar Beach man has been arrested for abusing his wife physically while holding her against her will.
William Alfred Bozeman, 48, was charged Thursday with aggravated assault, false imprisonment, felony battery by strangulation and battery, according to a Walton County Sheriff's Office report.
Walton deputies were alerted to a possible domestic disturbance by Broward County officers, who were acting on a tip from a friend of the victim, a 25-year-old woman.
The woman had sent the friend a text from a residence on Forest Shore Drive in Miramar Beach that said "send the police do not call back," the report said.
Bozeman answered the door at the residence and denied anything was amiss, the report said.
The woman, who was "visibly upset," told deputies Bozeman had choked her twice to the point of "cutting off her air flow" and held her mouth closed to keep her quiet, the report said.
She said Bozeman had held her "over the course of several days" and threatened to kill her.
Investigators reported finding evidence on the woman's neck "consistent with being choked" and took Bozeman into custody.

New research from Western University explores how climate change may fundamentally change Canada's northern wetlands. In a paper released in the journal Global Change Biology, Professors Zoë Lindo and Brian Branfireun from Western's Faculty of Science show that the types of plants that dominate northern peatlands (a type of wetland that accumulates thick layers of organic soil) change significantly at temperatures between four and eight degrees above their normal growing conditions.
At higher temperatures, which reflect changes that are anticipated in northern Canada, a major decline in the normally dominant sphagnum, or "peat" moss, was measured by the researchers during a two-year study. This was contrasted by an increase in two different types of sedges, a plant that resembles grass and usually dominates more nutrient-rich wetlands. These warmer temperatures were more favourable for sedges, which were also fertilized by higher carbon dioxide concentrations in air.
"Changes in the plant community affect many other ecosystem processes, so a loss of Sphagnum moss is particularly concerning," explains Lindo, an Assistant Professor in Ecology at Western's Department of Biology and the senior author of the paper. "This is a keystone species for maintaining moisture conditions, preserving habitat for soil organisms and storing carbon because it resists decomposition."
The experiment was conducted at Western's Biotron Experimental Climate Change Research Centre, where nearly 100 mini-wetlands were transplanted from a field site north of Lake Superior to its rooftop greenhouses. For nearly two years, the mini-wetlands were subjected to a range of experimental moisture, temperature and carbon dioxide concentrations to mimic future climate conditions.
"Without the facilities in the Biotron, this kind of experiment would not be possible," says Branfireun, the Canada Research Chair in Environment and Sustainability who serves as Director of the Biotron and is also a co-author on the paper. "Nature is highly variable from year to year, making it difficult to confidently identify trends like the ones that we have found under the controlled environments in the Biotron."
The study is part of the doctoral research program of Catherine Dieleman, a PhD Candidate in Western's Department of Biology and lead author of the resulting paper. This is the first of a series of publications from this experiment, all of which focus on how climate change may affect plants, soils, and water quality in the north. Jim McLaughlin, Research Scientist at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources - Ontario Forest Research Institute in Sault Ste. Marie, is also a co-author on the paper and a project partner.

BIOGRAPHY is an English disease. If the great and the good do not write their own memoirs, there are always literary collectors waiting to pin them down for posterity. Knowing the variable quality of biographers, those liable to a 'life and times' treatment are perhaps sensible to commit their own interpretation to paper before some biographical shark starts gnawing at their entrails.
Public men (and that sadly less numerous group, public women) are generally eager to justify their mistakes, reiterate their successes and explain how much they owe to luck, hard work, cold showers or whatever other factors seem to them to be significant. They also gossip and drop names, which is probably why so many of them sell enough copies to justify publication.
Scientists are not public figures in this sense. Cut off by public scientific myopia, practising their trade in laboratories full of bizarre apparatus, in many cases ...

NEW YORK—Playwright Theresa Rebeck looks at the question of perception in her serviceable Broadway comedy "Dead Accounts," now at The Music Box Theatre.
In present day Cincinnati, Ohio, Lorna (Katie Holmes) leads an all too quiet life, living in her childhood home with her aging parents: a father with health issues and her usually disapproving mother (Jayne Houdyshell). As she says to her daughter, "You were never brilliant, but you worked hard."
Lorna's status quo lifestyle is suddenly upended by the return of her prodigal brother, Jack (Norbert Leo Butz), a New York banker. He talks a blue streak, loves the local ice cream, and throws money around like water.
Jack also avoids questions about his wife, Jenny (Judy Greer), who nobody in the family likes. While in town, Jack has also made a point of looking up old friends, such as Phil (Josh Hamilton), who has had a crush on Lorna for a very, very long time.
Jack's almost frantic desire to return to the safety of his old home hides a deep insecurity, as well as the terrible fear of being alone and of losing part of his life that is fast slipping away. The money he's come into is only a symptom of what's going on.
It's this premise, presented almost in the manner of a television sitcom, that allows Rebeck to look at some interesting family dynamics in regard to points of view. Everyone involved is sure they are in the right as different characters take varying positions on Jack's situation.
There's also the underlying question of what happens when people and relationships change over time so that nothing is like it once was—if such idealized memories ever really existed in the first place.
The exploration of issues such as these and the very capable and at times hilarious performances of the cast all make this a play worth watching.
Butz wonderfully plays Jack as a human dynamo, a man with a seeming answer for everything, while operating under the premise of never using the truth when a lie will do. Splitting hairs when it comes to ethical issues, he avoids confrontation like the plague, only facing the truth when there is no other option.
Holmes is very good as Lorna, the quiet girl who serves as the glue that holds the family together. As someone stuck in the rut of everyday life, she's delighted to see her brother, because when he's around, things start to happen. At the same time, she has her own set of emotional needs and might just find an unexpected chance for happiness before this is over.
Houdyshell often steals the show as Jack and Lorna's mother. A religious woman, she sees things as black and white, not having time to bother with shades of gray. No-nonsense without being pious and stern, without being unfair, she can cut the strongest and most opinionated person down to size with a withering glance.
Greer does good work as Jenny, though hers is the most underdeveloped character of the piece. Jenny's stake in Jack's past actions becomes an ongoing question.
It would have been nice had she appeared less duplicitous in the beginning and allowed more of her feelings to emerge. One feels there is more to this person than revealed, and a more complex character would have certainly added to the story.
Hamilton is deliberately bland as the dependable Phil, whose "aw shucks" and occasional hangdog attitude end up being rather sweet in his scenes with Holmes.
Direction by Jack O'Brien is fine, keeping the story moving nicely and letting the actors (Butz especially) take their characters wherever they need to go. The piece probably could have been trimmed though, as the entire first act is one long setup for what comes later. However, once Jack's big secret is revealed, things quickly get interesting.
David Rockwell's kitchen set is nice and the lighting design by David Weiner, especially as executed at the close of the play, works well.
Cute and funny, with some hysterical laugh lines and some interesting points to make, "Dead Accounts," a term in the banking business, makes for an enjoyable, if not an always sparkling experience.

The Milestone Tapes
by Ashley Mackler-Paternostro
The only thing Jenna Chamberland ever wanted in her life was to be a good wife and a good mom. In death, she'll find that she still wants the same things.
With stage-four breast cancer, a terminal diagnosis and six months to live, Jenna fears what awaits her family after she is gone: Her husband, Gabe, will be left to raise their daughter alone, and Mia, only seven years old, will be forced to face a world without her mother.
Ten blank tapes to teach her daughter everything she'll ever need to know. Dead before Mia ever really got to know her, Jenna exists now only in pictures and watercolored memories, and Mia finds herself struggling to remember her mother in a way that feels real. But on the ninth anniversary of Jenna's death, she will return to her daughter through a series of audiocassettes. One tape each of the milestones of Mia's life, and with them, a letter explaining that Mia should only listen to the tapes when the time is right.
With the help of her mother's long-gone voice, Mia may just learn how to embrace the challenges and triumphs of her ever-changing life with humor, grace and a lot of hope.
Rereleased for its second anniversary, the novel that book bloggers have called "beautiful" and "unforgettable" returns with new content and tapes never before read.
"Today she would untie herself from the last filament of hope that had kept her tethered to the fight. She would watch silently as it away like a balloon slipped from between her fingertips. Today would be what some called the beginning of the end and others called the long goodbye.
Gabe. She could his back, long and warm, thought the thin cotton of his undershirt pressed against her upper-arm as he slept beside her. He was where the story of her began, where the chapters of her life had started to matter. Of course she wouldn't untangle herself from motherhood now; given the change; it was the same as imagining herself suddenly without her sight or another comfortable, almost given, attribute. Life without Mia was entirely unimaginable. But those childless years they'd once had still made her heart flutter. The lilt of it, the way it had been so simple, so easy. Now that she was facing the end, she'd become a necromancer of the past, dredging it up just to delight in what she saw." – The Milestone Tapes

After 2 big Thanksgiving dinners last weekend (yes, us Canucks are a bunch of weirdos for having it in October), I think I am finally out of my turkey induced coma and ready to put up some goodies for ya.
In support of the recent holiday weekend, I want to kick off with remixes from Canadians Rockwell and Hot Young Girls. First up is fellow Torontonian, Rockwell, with his dope house remix of Alicia Keys – Fallin'. This 18 year old…yes 18! sent this to my Soundcloud group a little while back and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and mature sound of this rinse, especially since I hadn't heard any other remixes in the past that I would want to play out. He recently followed this up with his unofficial remix of Afrojack & Steve Aoki's "No Beef", showing his range in production styles and focus on quality releases. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this up-and-comer!
Alicia Keys – Fallin' (Rockwell Remix)
Afrojack & Steve Aoki – No Beef (Rockwell Remix)
Next up is Hot Young Girls electro remix of Feist's "How Come You Never Go There". Just an FYI, if you're looking for them on-line, I don't suggest typing in HOT YOUNG GIRLS in Google ;), but do check out their site hotyounggirlsmusic.com. Overall the added production fits well with the original pieces that come in as a natural sounding breakdown before building back into the main drop. I felt that the synth lead could have used a bit more variety in its sound, but fits with the overall vibe of the original, which is a pretty chill track to begin with.
Feist – How Come You Never Go There (Hot Young Girls Naked Booty Remix)
We received a rare free remix from German house sensation Oliver $, who is still on fire after his Summer Anthem "Doin' Ya Thang". This is a stripped down version of the remix he did previously for Riva Starr's vocal chugger, Dance Me. This "Hyphny" remix is a minimal, sexy throbber that is sure to get those hips gyrating.

Big thanks to Felipe Avelar for passing along more tasty remixes this week. I have been a big supporter of Bastian Van Shields' productions in the past year and this mash is a great blend adding in the subtle MJ-esque vocal stabs from "Bille Was Here". Will be playing this one tonight! Felipe also sent over his recent rub of Jay Z & Kanye West's chart topper "Ni**as in Paris", using tasteful peaces from DJ Aylen, David Guetta and Market Price to round-out his dutch house take on it.

Switching gears, we have the nu-disco original "Street Machine" from the London, UK tandem Ruban & Ra. I instantly got a wave of nostalgia when I first listened to this 80s electro inspired groover, making me want to bust out of my chair into a hap-hazard up-rock. Ironically, I later found the Street Machine Video which confirmed my instincts that this one will be a tasty treat for all the B-Boys and B-Girls out there.

Niggas bitin' off my tracks, need a knife and a fork
from Childish Gambino – Freaks and Geeks Lyrics on Genius
Biting refers to stealing. In this case, other dudes are stealing Gambino's lines/beats/thematic material.
If you are biting off Gambino.. you'll probably need a knife and fork because his music is equivalent to a giant steak.
CG needs a knife and fork because when they bite his tracks there's goin to be beef

Over the last several years, my work has focused on "thick" emotional
attitudes such as love, resentment, hope, and gratitude. I argue that
these attitudes essentially incorporate both sub-rational and rational
elements of human psychology, and thus have interesting and distinctive
influences on rational deliberation and choice.
Future projects include papers on the ethics of eating animals, conscientious objection in the provision of medical care, and what it means to relate to a person as a reasoner.

The superb teaching that Holy Cross students receive results from the individual mentoring relationships that faculty members develop with their students. Key College practices undoubtedly help: we keep class sizes small, for example, and employ no graduate teaching assistants. But each faculty member also goes out of her or his way to encourage students to make extensive use of office hours and review sessions. Opportunities for advanced students to work with faculty mentors on independent research projects often evolve from classroom or office encounters early in a student's academic career.
New developments on campus and in society constantly challenge our understanding of how best to teach key concepts. Through its Center for Teaching, Holy Cross both learns from and contributes to these ongoing conversations. In recent years, emerging technologies, the value of experiential learning and the shifting demographics of the college-age population have all exerted an influence on what we teach and how we teach it.

Gallery: M celebrates its 40th birthday
And TopGear.com headed to Germany to join the party… Rowan Horncastle reports
Posted: 11 Dec 2013
A few laps later I'm back in the pits and left wondering what M should do next.
Forty years old is dangerous mid-life crisis territory. But even in 2012 there's no sign of M getting tattoos and buying motorcycles. They're staying young by sticking to what they do best: winning. After a 20-year absence from DTM, BMW and Bruno Spengler returned this year and won the championship with the slightly stoned-looking matte black M3. Now that's what we call a birthday present.
Happy Birthday M.
Now look through the rest of the gallery and tell us your favourite M car, dotcommers...

Workshop Addresses Preconceptions about Youth on the Streets
December 5, 2009
Trudee Able-Peterson challenged negative stereotypes of youth on the streets in a workshop titled "The Devolution Process: Home to Street and What They Learn on the Way Down" sponsored by the East Side Network Café. Able-Peterson specifically focused on four groups of street youth: gang members, teen parents, drug dealers and sex workers. These youth are almost always portrayed in a negative light, but Able-Peterson argued that, like other youth on the street, these youth have faced barriers or adversity that contributed to their situations.
Able-Peterson led workshop attendees in a shift of viewpoint and probed deep into assumptions about youth in poverty through two simple questions: What barriers do youth face to getting what they need out of their young years? How would you describe a member of each of these four groups using only positive adjectives?
Through these questions, "an appreciation of the gifts of every child replaced some automatic negative assumptions for me," said workshop attendee and East Side Network Café coordinator Lou Bender. "We hear so much about evil drug dealers and gang members, but we forget that many of these are just young people trying to get by in tough circumstances."
Able-Peterson also shared her own experience of living on the street as a teenager and of the work she has done as an adult to intervene for the safety and well-being of youth on the streets. "Hearing Trudee's own story and the stories of youth she works with allowed me to put a human face on people in society that we often see as problems," said Larissa Ruud, Camp Fire Community Programs Coordinator.
Many workshop attendees said they left the workshop with a new determination to examine their assumptions about disadvantaged youth and to work to provide resources for the good of every child.
The East Side Network Café, a collaborative of youth-serving organizations on the East Side and North End of Saint Paul, operates in partnership with Camp Fire USA Minnesota Council and more than a dozen other agencies with similar goals. The collaborative, and this workshop, are funded by the McKnight Foundation.
