32 year old woman | Woodland Hills, CA, USA | Seeking men 25-45 within 50 miles
Looking for a partner in crime!
I live life like there's no tomorrow. I like to have fun and am very adventurous. I have been married once, and don't think I will ever look for anything in the traditional sense again. Do we have to have a cliche boring first date? I am so sick of dinner. (but LOVE food) you know what I mean.. Must be open-minded, and accept me for who I am and what I do., which I may choose to not disclose right away. I don't care what anyone says, but looks are important and are what will first draw me to someone, but that person can get ugly real quick depending on his mannerisms and character. I am very picky both with the appearance of my future partner and the way he carries himself. I want a strong, manly man. Dominant, and confident, but not cocky. Knows how to talk to a woman. Must be charming, witty, and hold amazing conversation. Must live life to the fullest, seek adventure, and be open to a certain type of lifestyle that differs from traditional "Vanilla" relationships. (let's see if you know what that means)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
One of my roommates has a small dog.
please be 420 friendly. Thought this was a great place to put that detail :)
I like to attend social events, go to the movies, concerts, amusement parks, the beach, and restaurants

I mistakenly deleted the database, now when I go to my blog it says:
It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.
I don't know what can be done about it at this point. I'd appreciate help.
I mistakenly deleted the database, now when I go to my blog it says:
It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.
I don't know what can be done about it at this point. I'd appreciate help.
If the database is truly gone, there's nothing that can be done.
But... Is the database truly gone?
Check with your hosting provider and see if they can restore it from a recent backup. You'd still lose material added since the backup, but that would be a small price to pay. Speaking of price, your host may charge for the restoration, most do when they are not at fault -- still, it's probably worth it.
Thanks for replying!
It's a new blog, so I didn't have much there, and the good thing was that I had a tab on my browser open on the blog, so when I realized what I had done I took screen shots of everything! LOL At least I can re-type all the postings! LOL
I did email the hosting provider, haven't heard anything yet. The problem is, I deleted that database and created another one with the same name, which I am using to test a cart system... heeheee... so even if they have a recent backup, that cannot be restored or it will overwrite what I have there already.
I think the best thing would be starting from scratch, what do you think? I am just not sure what to do... should I just run install.php again?
You'll have to do something about another wp database first. If you have an option only for one database, you can install wp into the same one as the cart system by using a different table prefix (there's an option for that in the wp-config.php file).
Once you've sorted that out, then yes, you just need to do a new install.
I can have more databases... this time I am going to use the proper name for it... heehee... I always use the site's name for the database, that way I don't get confused, but just before installing WP I decided to change the blog's name... but used the same database that I had already created for it... bad move... when I installed the test cart, I didn't remember that and deleted that database and created it again to use with the cart...
thanks, I will created the database now and run the install.
If you have records of most of the database content, even if just screenshots, and there's not too much then it's probably easiest to just restore it by hand.
Your host could restore the database with a different name. You'd have to re-configure WP to read it (wp-config.php). WP can also easily work out of one subsection of a larger database that does other things on your site.
Alternatively, they can probably send you the database archive and you could enter material manually. There are ways to automate the process, but some technical skill is required.
If the data that's lost isn't a big deal, or if it's not too hard to restore it by other means, then yeah I'd say just start over.

What this technology shows is a perfect system for detail to increase for objects in the foreground and for detail to decrease for objects as they move away. It. Eliminates. LOD.
This basicly makes John Carmack a plenepotentiary for the future of real time graphics.
Be honest, did you use plenepotentiary so that we would have to google it and bow to your wisdom?
Well, i'm not getting on my knees for you buster.
Anyways, you have it wrong. From everything I've read sparse voxel octree is a highly granular LOD system. Basically the way it works is that it links many many LOD's together in a hierarchy that is view-distance dependent. My guess is that it is automatically generated using perspective calculations. This is a massive amount of data, but the system loads it dynamically as needed, so performance remains steady, and very good.
I think that theoretically you should be loading a very similar amount of information at each LOD. So the hit for having a very expensive model in the world is pretty much just memory based. Since you're dealing with a fixed amount of pixels on screen, there shouldn't really be any fluctuation in computing requirements (besides bandwidth and memory) over having a relatively simple model (though obviously the lowest bound is where each pixel in the sillhoute area represents data describing the model). Voxels are obviously exponentially more expensive than pixels, but I'm not sure how expensive they are relative to polygons. I do know that polygons become very expensive at sub-pixel divisions.
The reason that SVO's are bad for animation is that the octree has to be generated for each frame of the animation, which becomes prohibitively expensive on the memory side (not sure about the calculations involved in generation...some latency incured certainly). Anyways, for character models I don't see much of a point in using voxels. You quickly reach diminishing returns (for instance, a 20-30k model with normals looks very good; 200k cars are increadibly smooth), and I doubt you would notice or care about the difference between a 7M+ triangle voxel model or a 200k polygon model with proper use of normal maps. Animation tools for polygonal models are already in place and refined (come a long way since Studio Max 2, which is 1st proggy I used). Voxels are apparently more efficient with radiosity and raytracing though. But lighting for individual characters is probably relatively cheap compared to lighting the game world. Some clever tricks could integrate them wel with a raytraced SVO world.

Dave Dombrowski realizes the offseason is never over until opening day. That was certainly the case last year, when the Detroit general manager brought slugger Prince Fielder to the Tigers in late January. This offseason has been quieter in Detroit, but Dombrowski keeps his ears open for possible acquisitions even now, with spring training set to start in a couple weeks. The biggest questions facing the Tigers are left field, the fifth spot in the starting rotation and the closer role. Minor league standout Bruce Rondon may have a chance to close, but the AL champions can be a bit more patient with top outfield prospect Nick Castellanos. Dombrowski says Castellanos will have a chance to make the team, but he'll need to show he can play fairly regularly.

Edogawa City Council
Edogawa City Council consolidated its physical servers into the Edogawa Shared Information Platform (e-SHIP) some time ago. But only with the deployment of VMware vCenter Operations Manager was it able to get full benefit from this investment; now it is able to utilize resources and identify and resolve problems within this virtual environment much more effectively. With infrastructure systems virtualized, the council is now planning to virtualize all 4,000 workstations across its various offices by incorporating the back-end server resources that were freed up.
"VMware vCenter Operations Manager is a highly effective tool for optimizing the virtual infrastructure across all the council's offices. It improves reliability and performance, and supports our efforts to rationalize our hardware."
EDS Turns to VMware Server Virtualization to Support Australian Customers
"The increasing maturity of virtualization and the growing support from independent software vendors is helping fuel deployment of VMware virtualization across production environments. This means more businesses are redeploying or disposing of inefficient hardware and consolidating their data center infrastructure onto multiple virtual server environments, thus contributing to a reduction in power consumption."
Educational Institution
The educational institution was looking for a reliable solution to back up critical data. They chose vSphere Data Protection because it was easy to use and integrated with their vSphere platform.
"It is very important that our backup and recovery solution be well integrated with our VMware infrastructure."
Targets set with regard to virtualisation • establishing the central infrastructure • all virtualised applications shall be installed on this infrastructure • catastrophy-proof operational safety • cost eff ective operations Results achieved with VMware's solution • agressive virtualisation (e.g. 170 virtual machines running on the 3 blade servers of the Microsoft cluster) • in general 40-50 virtual machines running on the other clusters on each physical host • resource utilization of more than 50 percent in general (70-80 percent on certain clusters) • more than 500 virtualised systems • the performance of the SAP company management system increased from twice 2000 SAPS to 12000 SAPS • more than 10 million Forints savings yearly in energy consumption • 15-20 percent reduction of licence costs • serving business demand in 1 week instead of 4-6 weeks • catastrophy-proof operational safety by means of the virtualised systems to be moved between host servers of each site
"Due to the virtualised and centralised infrastructure, we save more than ten million forints yearly on energy costs."
Exceptional reliability had to be part of the plan, however, when it came to virtualizing a number of customer-facing quality assurance (QA) and user-acceptance testing (UAT) applications. For this set of highly visible applications, Stratus ftServer systems and VMware Infrastructure 3 were chosen to assure the flawless operation the company sought.
"Stratus ftServer systems and VMware are an ideal mission critical combination."
EMC implements VMware IT Business Management and IT Benchmarking to expand financial transparency and to deliver a true Bill of IT. The path to financial transparency and business insight is a dynamic journey. EMC needed a better solution that adapted with their changing needs, VMware ITBM provided that solution.
"We want to be able to make great decisions and deliver superior results, and a strong ITBM solution helps us do that."
Computer data storage company EMC deployed several components of VMware vRealize Suite to deliver database as a service (DBaaS). The solution dramatically accelerated database deployment, slashing delivery times by 99 percent. It also makes ongoing management of databases more effective, allowing administrators to quickly and easily make necessary changes. And it allows IT staff to be more responsive to business needs and strategic goals.
"With our database-as-a-service framework built on the VMware solutions, the business can get what it needs, when it needs it."
EMC Corporation Consulting and IT Services for Life Sciences
EMC Consulting for Life Sciences helps customers meet critical challenges by improving collaboration, which ensures compliance and boosts operational efficiency. EMC Consulting leverages its Life Sciences industry expertise to provide the following services:
"My experience with the vCloud Air team has been terrific. When required, their support team replies quickly and they make sure to get our issues solved."
Emerson Innovation Center
Emerson Innovation Center - Pune, adopts VMware Virtualization to help consolidate physical servers while saving costs, power and cooling
"We benefitted from VMware virtualization while migrating physical servers to the virtual environment where we did not need to reconfigure a server on the new virtual environment. We could move physical servers to the virtual environment quickly with minimal / zero downtime."
ENAM Securities
VMware virtualization has allowed ENAM to address all IT challenges, including significant reduction in power, cooling and real estate costs. Consolidation of servers through virtualization has also provided significant ease of manageability.
"We have had 100% uptime since virtualizing our environment with VMware and have also noted significant savings in power and cooling"
Implemented VMware vSphere™ to run SAP ECC6 and the business applications that comprise the Microsoft Office server platform—Microsoft Exchange Server, Microsoft Office Communications Server and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server—at a centralized, co-location datacenter.
"VMware has enabled us to run our SAP enterprise resource planning systems and Microsoft Exchange Server email more cost-effectively, dynamically and reliably."
EPAM Systems
EPAM centralised infrastructure management in the first phase of the development process aiming at the establishment of an IT environment that would adapt more flexibly to business requirements. In the second phase of the developments in the summer of 2006, EPAM Systems decided to virtualise the development and test environments established for the projects. Thanks to VMware-based virtualisation, we are able to set up the development environment of a starting project several magnitudes faster, just under 1 hour instead of several days or weeks. The other big advantage of virtualisation is that development managers can take a snapshot of the environment before testing a new version or service pack of the software under development or before verifying the version compatibility of a new database manager. EPAM in recent years has achieved two-digit growth in revenues and employed staffs - which are also reflected in the cost of IT.
"The snapshot function of VMware provides a high degree of security for development work. Using this system, it is faster and easier to test our software and we are able to provide an even higher standard of service to our customers. While our earlier infrastructure may have limited this process, our virtualised environment has become the drive behind our business."
EPFL (École Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne)
École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) is a Federal Institute of Technology based in Lausanne in Switzerland, they have over 9,000 students and 4,500 staff members. EPFL needed to design, implement and maintain a centralized virtual infrastructure to meet the needs of the entire school. They also needed to reduce total cost of ownership and lower power consumption. vCenter Operations has transformed the way their library storage requirements are supported enabling effective predictions for capacity and a hybrid cloud model has been adopted to provide the ability to extend their infrastructure into the public cloud. As well as a 33% reduction in TCO and 80% reduction in power consumption, EPFL have also experienced increased capacity and optimization through the effective management of their cloud infrastructure.
"We invested in vCenter Operations to support our large infrastructure of 500 VMs and 40 hosts. It has enabled us to predict capacity needs and to easily locate any performance issues."
The competence gained during the implementation of VMware vSphere and the comments we have received from our customers, have enabled Ergomedia to launch public cloud services, based on the VMware vCloud Director. Limitations in Hyper-V drove them to choose VMware to deliver a cloud for their Microsoft Applications.
"In our computing cloud, we provide customers with access to Microsoft applications, but it's VMware who helped us guarantee the top availability and stability of the entire environment. The use of the VMware virtualization software improves and accelerates our work. We do not need to employ additional administrator although the number of virtual machine keeps on growing."
ESSEC Business School
To ensure homogeneity of a fleet composed of 1200 computers, integrate the devices of students and teachers (BYOD) and lighten the IT maintenance expenses. Virtualization of 500 workstations (soon 700 and ultimately 1500) with virtualization of applications to eliminate the conflicts. Provisioning of non-persistent environments (which eliminates profile management). Cross-device portability.
"An institution like ESSEC cannot escape the tidal wave of "Bring your Own Device!" Thanks to VMware, we were able to finally free ourselves from material constraints to offer our users access at any time, from anywhere and from all devices."
Essel Propack
VMware Server Virtualization Enabled Essel Propack To Rapidly Deploy And Shut Down Multiple Machines On Fewer Physical Servers, Reducing Hardware Procurement Costs And Providing An Infrastructure Optimized To Meet Business Demand
"Looking at the x86 platform, no-one except VMware had a good track record. Other players did not have proven technologies."
ETSA Utilities
VMware Infrastructure 3 With Failover And Seamless Virtual Machine Migration Functionality Reduced The Number Of Physical Servers Required And Ensured ETSA Utilities' Information Technology Staff Could Meet Business Requirements
"VMware offers a full infrastructure and this is critical to enabling an organization such as ours to implement virtualization with confidence."
eWorld Limited
Nuno Fernandes, IT Architect, eWorld Limited discusses how their customers truly appreciate the benefits of vCenter Operations Management, providing a really good bird's eye view about what is happening on the whole datacentre in terms of resources, failures and what if scenario modelling. He also explains how being a VMware and HP partner helped them to grow as an organisation, being known and being very respected partner about integrated solutions in Malta.
ExecuJet Aviation Group
The ExecuJet Aviation Group is a global business aviation organisation, offering a diverse range of services, including aircraft sales, management and charter. ExecuJet runs four data centres in Johannesburg, Capetown, Zurich and Dubai that underpin the IT for the entire organisation. The South African data centre desperately needed to upgrade a large amount of legacy infrastructure, and the company decided to consolidate its server infrastructure using VMware. Following their successful server virtualisation project, the management team got fully behind the IT team to explore the benefits of implementing a virtual desktop infrastructure. They looked into a number of options, but due to our great experiences with VMware and the range of features on offer, they choose to implement VMware View. By using VMware View, ExecuJet employees are now able to run Windows 7 from any internet-enabled device.
"Dealing with highly discerning clients means we have to be at the cutting edge of service and innovation. Being able to use Windows 7 on tablet devices with the help of VMware View has drastically increased flexibility and improved working practices across the board - from sales executives to pilots to maintenance engineers, all of which helps us deliver the best service possible to our customers."
eXimius N.V., a Thomson Reuters company
VMware vSphere 4.0 and VMware vMotion offer uninterrupted availability of IT applications, efficient IT management and generate savings on time, energy and costs.
"I have been monitoring technological developments in the area of virtualisation for some time. VMware was the first company, three years back, that was able to offer a fully-fledged virtualisation solution. I really do consider VMware as a forerunner and trendsetter in virtualisation."

CINCINNATI – The Xavier men's soccer team will head to Omaha, Neb. to face the No. 4 Bluejays of Creighton in its first BIG EAST road contest on Saturday night (Oct. 5). The match is slated to start at 8 p.m. at Morrison Stadium.
Game No. 11: Xavier (4-4-2, 0-1-0 BIG EAST) at Creighton (5-2-2, 1-0-1 BIG EAST)
Coaching Matchup: Andy Fleming (40-19-15 at XU) vs. Elmar Bolowich (43-8-6 at Creighton)
All-Time Series: First Meeting | Date: Oct. 5, 2013 | Time: 8 p.m. ET
Venue: Morrison Stadium | Omaha, Neb.
Live Stats: GoCreighton.com | Live Video: GoCreighton.com
Having gone unbeaten for six of their last seven matches, the Musketeers wrapped up their non-conference schedule with a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh Tuesday night (Oct. 1) at Ambrose Urbanic Field thanks to goals from freshman Jalen Brown (Indianapolis, Ind./Brebuf Jesuit) and junior Garrett Halfhill (Virginia Beach, Va./Landstown).
On the year, the Blue and White have netted 11 goals, allowing 11 scores with a 1.10 goals-against average. XU has been led offensively this season with three goals and five assists from senior Matt Walker (Batavia, Ohio/Batavia). Junior Will Walker (Batavia, Ohio/Batavia) and Brow are second on the team with a pair of goals each. Between the pipes, XU has used a pair of keepers, with Eric Osswald (Powell, Ohio/Olentangy Liberty/USF) racking up 32 saves and three shutouts in eight nine and Vince Shaw (Versailles, Ky./Woodford County) tallying four saves in three of appearances.
The No. 4 Creighton squad is coming off a 1-0 loss to No. 22 Saint Louis at the Billikens' Hermann Stadium on Oct. 2. Creighton outshot Saint Louis 13-8 in the match, but could not get on the scoreboard. The setback snapped the Jays' program record of five consecutive double-overtime contests.
"Creighton is a perennial Final Four team and offers the best gameday venue in college soccer," stated head coach Andy Fleming. "Add in them having the nation's top rated RPI and this is a special opportunity ahead of us on Saturday. Our program was put on the map via big road wins against top rated teams and we always embrace the underdog role."
After Saturday's match at Creighton, the Musketeers will head to Chicago to take on DePaul (Oct. 9) in BIG EAST action.
With a win Saturday night, the Blue and White will secure the program's first BIG EAST victory and BIG EAST road win.
After starting the season with a 0-3 record, the Musketeers have gone 4-1-2 in their last seven contests, including wins over Kentucky, UC Irvine, Pitt and crosstown rival Cincinnati. Over the last seven matches, XU has scored eight goals, while surrendering just four, and registered three shutouts.
The Musketeers have received plenty of preseason recognition from multiple outlets.

SAN DIEGO, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- aTyr Pharma announced today that it has raised an additional $12 million to fund its discovery operations and development of its lead candidate. The company is discovering and developing biotherapeutics to treat a wide variety of diseases, including inflammation, autoimmune, hematopoietic and metabolic disorders. Founded in 2006 by Paul Schimmel, a Professor at The Scripps Research Institute and John Clarke of Cardinal Partners, aTyr Pharma's investors provided $12 million in 2007 to build aTyr Pharma's discovery engine and intellectual property. This new investment will be used to expand aTyr Pharma's discovery and preclinical platforms as well as to continue development of the lead drug candidate.
aTyr Pharma's product class is based on a novel group of naturally occurring resected proteins (resectins) from aminoacyl tRNA synthetases. While the large family of aminoacyl tRNA synthetases is universal and essential to protein synthesis in all organisms, resectins of human tRNA synthetases have additional potent cell signaling activities that are vital to normal functioning of humans. When Professor Paul Schimmel, an expert on tRNA synthetases and a successful biotechnology entrepreneur, began discovering the novel functions in this ancient class of proteins he realized that the tRNA synthetase resectins represented a rich source of proteins that had therapeutic potential. According to Jeff Watkins, CEO of aTyr Pharma, "This new financial support validates both the science and strategy of aTyr Pharma. Our strong investor group of Alta Partners, Cardinal Partners, Polaris Ventures and Paul Schimmel has valuable experience in founding and leading many successful biotechnology companies, including Alkermes, Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Momenta Pharmaceuticals and Sirtris Pharmaceuticals.

OK, let's get one thing very clear from the start. I am in charge. I am the boss and I will rule the house.
OK, now that the formalities are out of the way, let me tell you about myself and then maybe if you are lucky, I will tell you even more about me!
As you can see from my picture, I am quite a pretty girl--- thank you very much! I am a plush, very velvety spayed rex girl. Don't you agree that I am very elegant looking?
Here's a tip...agree. I might box at you if you disagree, or if you try to touch my stuff, or just in anyway at all displease me. The good news is that if you pass inspection and my high standards, you might be lucky enough to live with a gorgeous and spirited girl like me.
Think sports car...isn't a Ferrari more exciting than a minivan? So get with the program. Maybe I am a bit of a diva and high maintenance, but puleeze...where is your sense of adventure?
When only the best will do, be sure to choose me and then maybe, oh maybe, I'll pick you!

Blueway paddling festival celebrates Southwest Florida's history, ecology
Broaching dolphins, spotted eagle rays bursting from the water's surface, bald eagles feasting on mullet while perched on a mangrove limb. This is where giant tarpon roll by the hundreds, where the nation's largest wood stork population nests, where wading birds often outnumber beachgoers. It's also the former home of the Calusa, a dominant native culture that ruled most of south Florida for centuries before Europeans arrived.
With dozens of creeks, rivers, bays, harbors, sounds and passes, Southwest Florida waterways are vast, stretching from Charlotte Harbor south to Collier County and eventually the Everglades.
For the last four years, local environmental groups and eco-tourism businesses have banded together to celebrate coastal recreation, history and culture with the Calusa Blueway Paddling Festival. This year's event, which incorporates dozens of vendors, tour guides, musicians and volunteers, will run Oct. 23-Nov. 1.
"This year we put a lot more emphasis on having our events at places where you can actually paddle up in your kayak or canoe. That way some people don't even have to get in their cars," says Betsy

+ - EA drops bid to eliminate used games market->
girlintraining writes: EA has dropped its efforts to use DRM for used games, forcing users who wanted to sell their games legitimately to buy an unlock code before being able to sell it. A spokesperson said the reason for the change in policy was because "many players didn't respond to the format." This comes on the heels of an 19% drop in profits, and mass layoffs at the company.

|Career highlights
Matthew Knights (born 5 October 1970) is the current Geelong VFL coach, and former AFL coach and player, having played in the midfield for the Richmond Football Club from 1988 to 2002. He went on to a coaching career, most notably as head coach of the Essendon Football Club from 2008 to 2010.
Playing career[edit]
Knights wore the number 33 guernsey in 279 games between 1988-2002 for the Tigers whom he captained between 1997-2000. Playing in Richmond's midfield for the majority of his career, Knights was known for his ball winning ability if not his athleticism. Gifted with excellent "vision" or spatial awareness, and consistently reliable delivery from his left boot, given time and space Knights was one of the most damaging midfielders in the AFL throughout the 90s.
Though rewarded with numerous individual honors playing in a mediocre team, Knights made only two appearances with the Tigers in the AFL Finals Series in 1995 and 2001. He was placed top four in the team's annual best and fairest vote seven times between 1990 and 2000, and tied for fourth place in the Brownlow Medal count of 1995.
Knights' career was interrupted by a serious ankle injury in Round 2 of 1996 and a knee injury in the pre-season Ansett Cup competition in 1997. Late in 1998 he became one of the first high-profile AFL players to be diagnosed with the debilitating groin condition osteitis pubis, which dogged him through much of the remainder of his career. His courage in leading his team despite these set-backs made him much admired by his team's supporters and his removal as captain just before the beginning of the 2001 season caused much controversy (despite this, Richmond went on to finish the season as preliminary finalists). In Round 2 he was the centre of a further public controversy when struck behind play by Western Bulldogs player Tony Liberatore, who was suspended for five matches as a result. Inability to maintain high expectations saw Knights' retirement as a player towards the end of the 2002 season.
Coaching career[edit]
Knights was quickly recruited as assistant coach for the SANFL Port Adelaide Magpies and replaced Stephen Williams as head coach the following year. Having played a major role in restructuring the club's playing list, but without having reached the finals, he resigned at the end of 2004 by mutual consent to coach the Bendigo Bombers in the VFL, while also acting as an assistant coach with the Essendon Football Club in the AFL.
In July 2007, Essendon announced that long-standing coach Kevin Sheedy would be replaced at the end of the 2007 AFL season[1] and in September Knights was appointed as the club's new coach.[2]
In 2009, Knights coached Essendon to a its first finals series since 2004, but the team was soundly beaten by Adelaide in the elimination final.[3]
In 2010, Essendon won seven games and failed to make the finals.[4] Criticism of Knights coaching performance increased during the season.[5] On 12 August, Essendon's CEO stated that Knights would continue as coach in 2011,[6] but he was, nonetheless, sacked two weeks later - on the day after Essendon's final round loss to the Western Bulldogs.[7] He had two years remaining on his contract. Essendon won 25, drew one and lost 41 matches under Knights, during which they enjoyed three consecutive victories against Alastair Clarkson and the Hawthorn Football Club.[8][3] For the 2011 season Knights worked with the Xavier College football team in Kew.
During the 2012 season Knights was coach of the Geelong VFL Football Club. He coached the team to the 2012 VFL premiership.[9]

"Abbey saved my life," Denise Bogue-Skonieczki says of the chocolate Lab that helps her cope with an array of mental and physical problems from bipolar disorder to shot knees. "If I didn't have her, I wouldn't be here."
They met through Alaska Assistance Dogs. Abbey was an 8-month-old service dog in training. Denise was largely a shut-in.
"Abbey ran straight to me. She picked me and she's never left. I can't stick with anything long because of this darn bipolar but I was able to stick with the training of my dog."
They passed their public-access test right around Denise's birthday last May.
"Abbey forces me out. I have to take her to play at the park. And if I have to go into town, I know I'm going to be safe. It's so wonderful to be able to feel safe."
Since Denise walks with a cane, Abbey hops up and pushes the handicap-door button for her. If Denise drops her inhaler, some coins or her keys, Abbey picks them up and puts them in her hand. If Denise falls, Abbey helps her get back on her feet.
"She doesn't just make my heart feel warm and fuzzy. She does, but that's not all she does."
Abbey, a natural-born diplomat, dilutes the stigma of mental illness.
"People tend to look at you like, 'Oh, you're one of those. What are you doing out in public? You should be locked up.' They see her, they forget that I have mental illness; they're more drawn to the dog. When Abbey came along, people tended to be more respectful, more understanding.
"She's such a blessing in my life."

Nikolaus Gradwohl needed some battery packs to power his devices so he wrote a openscad-script that generates battery compartments. The software handles various battery types from AAA to D and can generate compartments for even and odd battery numbers. The devices are printable and the only thing you need to add are little metal stripes for the contacts. [via]

The Antikythera Mechanism: http://bit.ly/fm4oFK is the oldest known scientific computer, built in Greece at around 100 BCE. Lost for 2000 years, it was recovered from a shipwreck in 1901. But not until a century later was its purpose understood: an astronomical clock that determines the positions of celestial bodies with extraordinary precision. In 2010, we built a fully-functional replica out of Lego.

This project shows how to build a LED holiday tree using a custom made circuit board. The circuit board is made using a Dremel rotary tool and doesn't require any etching chemicals. You use the Dremel tool to cut a copper into a tree shape and route the two separate PCB sections that will power the LEDs. The LEDs and resistors will be soldered at the surface of the board. The result is pretty nice. Check the construction PDF on the link below.

The default remote control for your Apple TV is small, slick, and smooth. To many users, of Apple's "hobby" device, it is also thought to be too small and somewhat limited in features. For those of you have found the Apple TV to be limited only by its remote… you have likely found the iOS remote to be a decent alternative to Apples' hardware offering. Though this iOS remote can help fill the void, eventually you will want to control your Apple TV while using your iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod) device for something else.
Hot on the heels of Apple's latest announcement introducing the iPad 3 to the world people quickly forgot all about the new Apple HDTV hype. Prior to the announcement, if you'll recall, there was great speculation as to what Apple would be announcing regarding its Apple TV line. It had been speculated that what Steve Jobs once mentioned as a hobby of Apple's would soon become one of its next "big things". Needless to say, we were all more than a little disappointed to learn that they not only weren't releasing a new HDTV, but they were merely rolling out a "newish" Apple TV 3 packed into the same little black box.
At times, Best Buy sends surveys to customers asking for feedback on potential new products and services; in the latest survey electrical retail giant is asking about a potential clients' interest in 42-inch Apple HDTV! "Be one of the first to get the all new 42" Apple HDTV at Best Buy for $1499. Apple finally reinvents what a TV can do," the survey reads.
Little by little the apps are coming to the Apple TV. Hacker and iOS developer Steven Troughton-Smith and a hacker called TheMudKip have made it to run iPhone and iPad apps on an Apple TV 2, jailbroken with Seas0nPass. Using @TheMudkip's MobileX window manager for iOS, and @chpwn's MobileLaunchpad launcher to go with it, they managed to get multiple iOS apps running natively on Apple TV, without AirPlay. Later on, they even figured out a way to run iPad applications at a full 720p resolution.
Movie trailers have always been sort of a side hobby for Apple. Now this hobby seems to be getting some attention, as Apple has released an app specifically for movie trailers.
When you first open iTunes Movie Trailers on either your iPhone or iPad, you'll find the trailer layout very similar to the Apple TV's graphic-based layout. Here you can scroll and search based on movie art, or simply search for whatever trailer you are looking to watch and then watch it on your device or on your TV, through AirPlay.
Brought to you by the developers of Remote HD, AirServer is an advanced AirPlay/AirTunes receiver that lets you seamlessly stream audio, videos, photos, and photo slideshows to your Mac or iOS device. The software has just been updated to version 3.0, which comes with a new built-in video players and enhanced iOS 5 and Lion support. AirServer has now the ability to stream slideshows with visual effects and music intact via AirPlay.

I picked the ten-most likely Reds to be traded at the deadline. Which of these players would you like to see traded? Why?
Get MLBtraderumors Reds updates on Facebook.
I picked Hatteberg because, mainly, I really want to see Votto getting at-bats. (I would've picked Conine, but he's right-handed.) I think this is the last good year Weathers has in him, so I'd like to see him gone while his stock is high. I'd like to see Kyle Lohse traded unless no one's willing to give up anything more valuable than the draft pick the Reds would receive by keeping him. I want Adam Dunn out of here because the money that would be freed up would be extremely helpful for next year and beyond.

Kyle Lohse's Elias score after last season was 39.542, which didn't even classify him as a Type C player under the old system. The lowest score Type B player on the list had a score of 48.938. Lohse was not even in the top 60 percent of NL starting pitchers.
Elias uses rather crude metrics to determine scores, including such stuff as innings pitched, ERA and raw strikeout totals, and they include the previous two seasons. The problem with this is Lohse's 2006 season was absolutely horrible so it was included in last year's Elias score and it will be once again included in this year's Elias score. Essentially, Lohse's 2007 season will replace his 2005 season in which he put up a 4.18 ERA in 178.2 innings.
Lohse 2005-06 ... 305.1 innings, 4.86 ERA, and 183 strikeouts
Lohse 2006-07 ... 252.2 innings, 5.27 ERA, and 175 strikeouts
Lohse should easily surpass his strikeout totals, which is good, and he'll probably eclipse his innings pitched totals, albeit by possibly not a whole lot. The real problem is his ERA for 2006-07 is considerably higher than 2005-06, and that could easily offset his gains in strikeouts and innings.
Remember another curveball here as well: the new standards for Type A and Type B free agents go into effect this offseason. Last offseason, Type A players were the top 30 percent at each position with Type B players being the top 31-50 percent at each position. Effective this offseason for the first time, Type A players are now only the top 20 percent at each position with Type B players being the top 21-40 percent at each position.
What this means is Kyle Lohse has to somehow climb from being just barely out of the top 60 percent of NL starting pitchers to at least within the top 40 percent of starting pitchers. Given his numbers so far this season, it's an extremely poor bet for that to happen. And for the Reds, if they elect to keep Lohse and allow him to walk, there's a very good chance he won't even qualify as a free agent able to net a compensation draft pick.
The Reds have exactly two options with Kyle Lohse: trade him now if they want to receive anything in return, or resign him (which I sincerely hope they don't do). Keeping him the remainder of this season and letting him walk won't do anything to help this franchise in 2008 and beyond.
Kevin Gregg and Jason Marquis brought back vivid memories of the Lost Decade.
Kevin Gregg: DFA'd May 11, 2015
Jason Marquis: DFA'd June 5, 2015
Where's the Krivsky option?
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
I put up the regular suspects, the guys who aren't under contract for 2008 (plus Stanton).
The one I REALLY want traded is Freel. Let some other fans enjoy his diving catches and seeing him picked off first (and second).
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
I picked Edwin just because he's not part of any Reds future plans, so seeing him go would be easy.
I also picked Stanton and Conine. Maybe Loshe too, or Dunn.
I don't agree with trading Weathers, why not lock him up for a few years? He's by far the best bullpen arm we have - I can't imagine the 6-7-8-9 without him.
Go Reds!

Thank you for the insight, Cyclone792. I had forgotten what a disaster 2006 was for Lohse, so I figured he'd be much closer to bringing in draft pick compensation.
Not that I blame anyone for thinking it, but I'm surprised at how many people want Freel gone. I always considered him to be kind of the hard-nosed Mr. Cincinnati.

Hatteberg and Conine because its time to see Votto.
Freel, I think he's a good super sub but the brain gear is not engaging the hustle gear. Besides, between NoHo and Secretary of Short Keppinger, we have the same player. NoHo can take just as bad a route to a flyball with the same kind of velocity as Freel.
Lohse...this may be sad but I think he's the most tradable piece we have. I think we'll do better with a trade than compensatory draft pick as Cyclone pointed out.
Stanton...everyone needs a lefty, right?
I'm sure this has been discussed, but is Weathers so expensive that we can't keep him?
He's about the only effective reliever we have, and when it takes a minimum of 3 good ones, why would we want to trade away the best one we have when he doesn't seem to be that expensive?
Rob Neyer: "Any writer who says he'd be a better manager than the worst manager is either 1) lying (i.e. 'using poetic license') or 2) patently delusional. Which isn't to say managers don't do stupid things that you or I wouldn't."
Hat, Conine, Lohse, and Stanton should be traded to open up salary and space for younger players. None of them will fetch a king's ransom, but all (except maybe Stanton) are definitely useful players for a stretch run.
Freel is too expensive for a 5th OF. I hated that extension. It was unnecessary. It looks like Hopper has moved ahead of him in the depth chart as well. I never understood Wayne's obsession with locking up backup players. Personally, I think it's crazy.
Weathers should be able to be flipped for something pretty good. I fear Wayne wants ML ready talent. I think he should settle for a pair of high upside prospects that are 2-3 years away.
I want every player on this team made available in the right deal.
I was hoping Wayne would go ahead and move some of the "no brainer" guys like Conine, Hat, Stanton, and Lohse a little early so that he had time to work on a last minute bigger deal like Lohse. I fear Wayne is really gun shy after last year, and is going to be spending the last minute maximizing the return for Conine instead of working on a trade that could really change this franchise.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
You can debate trading Lohse, Conine and Hatteberg, but these are not major moves. They just don't get the Reds anything much back.
The real issue is whether Reds should trade the following or any of them:
Dunn, Griffey, EE, Weathers, Arroyo. I'm assuming Harang and Phillips are safe, but everyone is worth talking about.
If the Reds trade a couple of their main players, that shows me that they understand the need to restructure. If they trade Lohse and Conine, it shows me that they want to remove some salary before another dismal season ends, with no real advance being made.
Unless the Reds get some new top talent, or at least open up salary space -- major space -- for new players, then prepare for another several years of hoping, maybe, that the team can be around .500. I hope Castellini understands this, because otherwise the team is headed nowhere.
This group, even with minor change, will not be a serious contender.

Keep Dunn and EE as the future. Build around them.
Everyone else on this list, c ya. Hope y'all enjoy your new teams.
Scott Hatteberg - I think Joey Votto is proving himself in AAA and was on the World team and All Star team this year. 1st is all his and I think he should get a taste of the big leagues as soon as possible.
Jeff Conine - Pretty much for the same reasons as Hatteberg. I don't think he has as much value as Hatteberg but he will help a contending bench and can play RF, LF, and 1B. He's a guy who makes contact and can work a count. His 2 championship rings doesn't hurt either.
Adam Dunn - I think his 13.5 million dollar option is to big for his performance. Not to take anything from Dunn.. he is a very talented athlete and has amazing power. However he K's to much, his defense is woeful, and his average is.. well.. not good. This team has stated that they want to build a team with less strikeouts and better defense.. two things that stick out as negatives when you bring up Adam Dunn.
Kyle Lohse - I think he has the value a contending team would want. He has been very inconsistent throughout this year. However.. when he is on.. he is pretty much untouchable. Livingston to me has been very good and could take Lohse spot in the rotation. Add to the mix could be Phil Dumatrait, Johnny Cueto, as well as Homer Bailey once he returns from the groin injury.
Mike Stanton - I would love to see him dealt.. however at this point a release looks more likely for Stanton. He had been one of the more reliable arms in the pen before and slightly after the injury but lately that hasn't been the case.
David Weathers - I think he would help out a contender. He has been the bright side to this bullpen. However Bray and Guardado are close to returning and I like the make-up of guys like Burton, Salmon, Coutlangus, McBeth, Medlock, and yes.. even Coffey.

Feminism is not just a social movement, it's a cultural idea. Like any cultural idea, what it really is is contested by different interest groups in society who put forward their own interpretation and try to undermine the interpretations of others. For example, Rush Limbaugh's coining of the term "femi-nazi" was a highly successful move in the long-standing contest over who feminists are and what they believe. Indeed, most young women today believe that women and men are equal and yet do not identify themselves as feminists. This is partly because they think of feminists as hirsute, combat-boot-wearing, man-hating lesbians. Is this what feminists want young women to think? Certainly not. Instead, it suggests that feminists lost control over the definition of feminism.
In this spirit, I offer you this clip of Limbaugh talking about the left's objection to Sarah Palin's candidacy for Vice President (found here). I offer it not to be partisan, but as an excellent example of this contest (see also this example and this satirical take on defining feminism).
