What you
need to know:
Is Cal about to get consumed by an old-fashioned quarterback
controversy? It might be unavoidable considering the
inconsistent play of incumbent Nate Longshore and the head of
steam being built by Armed Forces Bowl hero Kevin Riley. The job
remains Longshore's to lose, but if the more mobile Riley
continues to mature, it'll be hard for new coordinator Frank
Cignetti to keep him out of the lineup. As if losing RB Justin
Forsett isn't tough enough, the Bears learned in March that his
heir apparent, James Montgomery, is transferring to Washington
State. Next in line is Jahvid Best, who missed spring drills
recovering from a hip injury. The departures of last year's top
five pass-catchers create opportunities for Michael Calvin,
Jeremy Ross, and Florida transfer Nyan Boateng, who are short on
experience, but long on potential.

Top three all-star candidates: 1) Mack 2) Senior T Mike

Strength of the offense: Quarterback depth, speed, Mack
Weakness of the offense: Unproven skill position players,
Projected Starter: Now that USC's Pete Carroll has
handed the reigns over to Mark Sanchez, the most heated
quarterback derby west of the Mississippi pits senior Nate
Longshore versus sophomore Kevin Riley. The two are
neck-and-neck, and Jeff Tedford isn't expected to name a starter
until shortly before the opener with Michigan State. Longshore
is the incumbent, and not an especially popular one at that. He
struggled through 2007, battling a nagging ankle injury to go
230-of-384 for 2,580 yards, 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Even worse, he missed the second half of spring with a pec
injury which allowed Riley to get all of the reps with the first
team. At 6-5 and 233 pounds, Longshore has one of the strongest
arms in the country, but lacks mobility and displays
questionable decision-making.
In last year's Armed Forces Bowl, Riley replaced Longshore and
promptly led the Bears to a dramatic win. And just like that, a
quarterback controversy was born. Viewed as a much-needed
sparkplug for the program, Riley has never been so popular, even
after his now infamous brain-cramp at the end of the Oregon
State game when he tried to run, which ended up running out the
clock, rather than getting rid of the ball and taking the almost
certain game-tying field goal. While less experienced, the 6-2,
224-pounder is far more mobile, gets rid of the ball quickly,
and looks comfortable leading the offense. He's not Longshore,
which for many Cal fans, is his best attribute. Riley expects
to won this job, a show of confidence that's resonated
throughout the offense.
Projected Top Reserves: Lost in the shadow of
Longshore vs. Riley is redshirt freshman Brock Mansion,
this year's No. 3 quarterback. Built similar to Longshore at 6-5
and 229 pounds, he's very strong, makes all the throws, and his
niftier than size might indicate. An apprentice for now, he
could challenge Riley for the starting job in 2009.
Watch Out For… Riley to get the nod at the end of
August. The battle in the summer is going to be fierce and tight
no matter what happens, but Riley's mobility and moxie is
exactly what the program needs following last year's collapse.
Longshore won't go away without a fight, but he has an uphill
battle against a competitor who's quickly gaining momentum.
Strength: Multiple starting quarterbacks. Of
course Riley still has plenty to prove, but all indications are
that's he ready to lead an offense. Couple him with the veteran
Longshore, and the Bears boast two players good enough to start,
a luxury in the event both are actually needed.
Weakness: Turnovers. Over the last two seasons,
Cal has thrown 27 interceptions, all but one coming from
Longshore. Whoever gets the start must do a better job of
protecting the ball, or else his tenure under center will be
Outlook: The Bears have two quality quarterbacks,
but only one is needed. Tedford's challenge will be to make a
decision in August, get the buy-in of both players, and avoid a
controversy that distracts the team. If Riley's the guy, the
coach could have a star player to build around for the next
three seasons.
Rating: 7.5
Running Backs
Projected Starters: In two years, the program has
lost Marshawn Lynch to the Buffalo Bills, Justin Forsett to the
Seattle Seahawks, and James Montgomery to Washington State. The
heir apparent is expected to be 5-10, 193-pound sophomore
Jahvid Best, who's recovering from a hip injury that cut
short his debut season in Strawberry Canyon. At the time, he'd
bolted for 221 yards and two touchdowns on only 29 carries,
flashing the breakaway speed, acceleration, and hands that had
the likes of USC, Michigan, and Notre Dame tripping over
themselves to get his signature. Although Best practiced without
contact in March and April, the staff is convinced he'll be 100%
by opening day.
Best's mate in the backfield will be hulking senior FB Will
Ta'ufo'ou, a rugged 5-11, 253-pounder who's a terrific and
unselfish lead blocker. While his role in the offense is
limited, he did carry nine times for 52 yards a year ago, adding
four receptions for 48 yards.
Projected Top Reserves: Montgomery's departure
opens the door for sophomore Tracy Slocum to rise up to
No. 2 on the depth chart. A powerful north-south runner at 5-10
and 198 pounds, he'll do the dirty work between the tackles that
Best might not be able to perform. A year after getting lost in
the shuffle, he had the type of spring that'll command a more
prominent role in the fall.
Redshirt freshman Shane Vereen is a carbon copy of Best,
a 5-10, 192-pounder blur with the vision to slip through a hole
and go the distance. While he's behind Slocum, he'll instantly
become the gamebreaker out of the backfield if Best has any
physical setbacks from his injury.
Watch Out For… true freshman Covaughn DeBoskie.
Under normal circumstances, DeBoskie would be a cinch to
redshirt, but there's an opportunity to get touches as a
rookie. Another top-flight recruit who can get through a
secondary in a flash, he has an edge over the other freshmen who
didn't take part in spring practice.
Strength: Speed. Best, Vereen, and DeBoskie have
that extra gear needed to electrify a crowd and deflate opposing
defenses. All three have the 4.3 or 4.4 jets that can change the
tenor of a game when they get into the open field.
Weakness: Lack of a true grinder. It's midway
through the last quarter and Cal is up by eight. Which back get
the ball to burn some clock? Slocum is the likely choice, but
even he's under 200 pounds and has yet to carry the ball in
Outlook: In an ideal situation, Slocum and a
healthy Best form an inside-outside tandem that can help replace
most of Forsett's massive production. Best has the potential to
eventually be better than last year's workhorse, making his
health one of the top storylines of August's preseason camp.
Rating: 7
Projected Starters: The exodus of last year's top
five pass-catchers has created an opportunity for a new wave of
young receivers to shine in the Cal offense. Coming out of
spring, the front-runners to start were sophomore Jeremy Ross
and redshirt freshman Michael Calvin, but neither is
set in stone and the rotation will rely on far more than just
two players. At 5-11 and 208 pounds, Ross has 4.4 speed and the
upper body strength to break tackles and turn a 10-yard
reception into a 20-yard gain. He was enjoying an outstanding
spring before spraining his ankle, an injury that'll be healed
before summer workouts begin.
Like Ross, Calvin used an impressive spring to solidify his spot
on the Bear two-deep. Not the blazer that Ross is, he has good
speed and uses his 6-2, 202-pound frame to gain position on
smaller defenders. Still somewhat raw, Calvin is a physical
receiver who shows early signs of being the next coming of Sean
Dawkins, one of the best wideouts to ever play for Cal.
Now that Craig Stevens has graduated, junior Cameron Morrah
is in a position to blossom into a star at tight end. The
former high school All-American defensive end debuted at his new
position by catching 13 passes for 155 yards and a touchdown. A
sleek athlete at 6-4 and 245 pounds, he has the quickness to be
a downfield threat and a load for linebackers to cover.
Projected Top Reserves: If he's dedicated and
focused on the little details, the sky is the limit for junior
Nyan Boateng, a transfer from Florida and one of the
top-rated wide receiver recruits of 2005. At 6-2 and 210 pounds,
he's the most explosive and dynamic of the Bear receivers, but
he still needs to iron out some of the wrinkles in his game and
reduce the number of dropped passes.
The veteran of this rebuilt corps is 6-1, 205-pound senior
LaReylle Cunningham, a three-time letterwinner with only 10
career receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown. While not
special in any one area, he's a steady, Robert Jordan-like
leader who will play an integral role on the second unit.
So far, so good on the relocation of junior Tad Smith
from defensive end to tight end. A far more physical option at
the position than Morrah, the 6-5, 265-pounder has proven to be
a bull as a run blocker and surprisingly reliable as a receiver.
In a short period of time, Smith is pushing Morrah harder than
anyone could have expected.
Watch Out For… Boateng. No, the mistakes he makes
can't be overlooked, but he has a special blend of size, speed,
and explosiveness. If the Bears can somehow harness all of his
physical gifts, Boateng has the ingredients to become a
dangerous All-Pac-10 receiver.
Strength: Size. After being an undersized, finesse
unit for years, the Bears are set to unveil a much bigger crew
that can get separation at the line and win plenty of battles
for balls in the air. Oh, and guys on the two-deep can also
Weakness: Experience. This year's top four wide
receivers collectively caught four passes a year ago, spending
much of the season watching from the sidelines. Out of Calvin,
Boateng, and Ross, it's going to take time before one of them
emerges as the go-to receiver.
Outlook: Obviously, you don't get better by losing
DeSean Jackson, Lavelle Hawkins, and Robert Jordan, the most
productive trio in school history. However, the next group of
Bear receivers has an exciting upside, and Ross, Calvin, and
Boateng all have the physical ability to eventually develop into
big-time producers and borderline stars.
Rating: 6.5
Offensive Line
Projected Starters: When Alex Mack opted to
return for his senior season, Cal instantly had the anchor for
its offensive line and one of nation's premier centers.
Targeting a third consecutive First Team All-Pac-10 selection,
he's widely considered the league's top blocker and a favorite
to win the Rimington Trophy. At 6-5 and 316 pounds, Mack is a
rarity at the pivot, a relentless mauler on running plays and a
near-flawless pass protector
Senior T Mike Tepper is making the shift from the right
side of the line to the left, where he'll be in charge of the
quarterback's backside. A second-year starter, he does a nice
job of pass blocking and is surprisingly athletic for a 6-7,
321-pounder. In danger of never walking again after having his
leg run over twice in 2005, Tepper is now on the brink of an NFL
Taking over at Tepper's old right tackle spot will be senior
Chet Teofilo, a former defensive tackle getting his first
opportunity to turn heads in the starting lineup. Mobile and
light on his feet at 6-3 and 316 pounds, he played well in place
of Mike Gibson late last season. Now he has to go out and prove
ha can do it for 13 games.
The guards are lining up as senior Noris Malele and
sophomore Mark Boskovich on the right and left side,
respectively. Malele has started 22 games over the last two
seasons, fending off a push from Boskovich toward the end of
2007. A squat 6-2, 303-pounder, he's loaded with experience, but
can also get stood up at the point of attack.
While the 6-4, 301-pound Boskovich is facing a challenge of his
own from sophomore Richard Fisher, he remains the leader
to be the starting left guard in the opener. A former walk-on
and quick learner, he continues to get bigger and more
fundamentally sound, earning some playing time and valuable
experience as a redshirt freshman.
Projected Top Reserves: Fisher was one of the
pleasant surprises of the spring, getting reps with the first
team and ensuring no worse than an integral role as one of the
top backups in the guard rotation. The rare vegetarian
offensive lineman, he's 6-4 and 276 pounds, needing to add
weight in order to mount a more serious challenge.
Behind Malele is redshirt freshman Justin Cheadle, a 6-2,
303-pounder who's widely considered the best athlete among the
interior linemen. One of Cal's top recruits from 2007, he'll
soak up as much experience this fall before taking over a
starting job in 2009.
Junior center Chris Guarnero isn't Mack, but he's a nice
insurance policy for the Bear offensive line. Tough, quick, and
technically crisp at 6-2 and 275 pounds, he's not going to hurt
the offense if he gets pressed into action.
A couple of sophomore tackles, Matt Laird and Justin
Pruiett, are in the driver's seat to land spots on the
second team. With a shoulder problem now behind him, the 6-7,
305-pound Laird has the long arms to develop into an effective
pass blocker.
Pruiett is an intriguing player, who hasn't been playing the
sport very long, yet shows the potential to grow into a starter.
At 6-4 and 287 pounds, he'll continue to fill out and learn the
nuances of the position as Teofilo's backup.
Watch Out For… the development of the
underclassmen. While the starting five is mostly a veteran
group, when players like Mack and Tepper run out of eligibility,
Cal will begin to lean heavily on some of its top recruits from
the past few seasons. Linemen, such as Laird, Cheadle, Fisher,
Sam DeMartinis, and Mitchell Schwartz are going to
use 2008 as a springboard for the next phase of their Bear
Strength: Pass blocking. Over the last two
seasons, the Bears have allowed just 24 sacks, despite
protecting the lumbering Longshore. With three-fifths of last
year's starting unit back, including Mack, it'll once again be
difficult for opposing defenses to perforate the Cal front wall.
Weakness: Experienced backups. Yeah, the future is
very bright at the position, but in the short term, the Bears
lack a veteran presence on the second and third units. In fact,
Guarnero is the only player on the three-deep who's earned a
letter with the program.
Outlook: Cal and line coach Jim Michalczik
continue to do a fantastic job of coaching up this group of
linemen. Mack is so special, he absorbs multiple defenders and
makes everyone around him better at their own jobs. Ideally, the
Bears can get reps for the next generation of players without
being forced to give any one of them a crash course during the
Pac-10 season.

Ham Roll Ups Recipe

This morning, we put in at Cobh, Ireland, and spent the day traveling the area around it.
We saw Charles Fort, near Kinsale, and strolled around the town of Kinsale itself. We visited St. Multose Church there (built by the Normans in roughly 1190 AD), where Prince Rupert, whose fleet lay at anchor in the bay before the town, proclaimed Charles II king when he learned that Oliver Cromwell had just beheaded his uncle, Charles I.
We drove through the countryside. We heard about the great potato famine that began in roughly 1840, during which roughly 1.25 million Irish starved to death while approximately the same number emigrated to North America – reducing the entire population of Ireland by between 20% and 25%. Potatoes, introduced to Ireland by Sir Walter Raleigh during the time of Elizabeth I – who may have loved him, but whose successor, King James, later had him executed – had become the staple food of the Irish diet. A typical Irish man might eat between eight and fourteen pounds of potatoes in a day, an average woman as many as eight or nine pounds. So when a blight destroyed the potato crop in the ground not just for one season but over and over again during the 1840s, it was catastrophic. The people might have returned to hunting and fishing, of course, except that the aristocracy in Ireland – many of them English Protestants who had been granted lands in the country by the English monarch as a reward for their loyal support of the English Reformation against Catholic resistance – controlled game lands and fishing areas and denied them access to traditional and available sources of food. Truly unbelievable depravity.
We went to a private home on the grounds of which an Irishwoman who was working as a nurse in New York City on 11 September 2001 had planted (I think) 343 trees in honor of the fire fighters – many of them of Irish descent – who died in the World Trade Center. It was a very moving place. Each tree was identified with a photograph and a name. Our driver/guide was plainly emotional himself when he realized, from the new monument on the grounds, that she herself had died of cancer since he had last been there.
The Irish, he said, love Americans. They almost all have American relatives. Twenty-two American presidents have had Irish ancestors. The two most popular in Ireland, he reported, are John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton. (Too bad, that.) Yes, Ronald Reagan was Irish, too. Yes, of course. But so too, in small part and much more excitingly, is Barack Obama!
We went to Blarney Castle and waited in line for two hours, partially on the stairs of the castle itself, waiting to get up to the Blarney Stone – to kiss which is to be granted the gift of gab. Having been there, I think I'll now choose a rock, put it in my back yard, and charge fifteen dollars for people to kiss it.
We went out to the point of land nearest the place where the Lusitania was destroyed by a German U-Boat, bringing the United States into World War I, and saw the place where the Titanic docked for the last time before its fatal departure for New York.
I have to say that, as much as anything else, I really enjoyed our driver/guide's personality, and the Irishness of his language. This place, as is well known, is verbal magic. The land of Yeats, Synge, Joyce, Swift, and Wilde.
Six hours out from Cobh, Ireland.

Financial Advice Blog
Don't Buy It: Mutual Fund Sales Charges
"Do you get better mutual funds when you pay sales charges?"
It's a great question that I've fielded many, many times throughout 20-plus years in the financial planning business. But it's also a question for which I fear objective, truthful answers are hard to come by. So I'm going to fix that.
The answer is no. Mutual funds with sales charges (also called sales loads) don't perform any better than those without that extra layer of expense. What's worse, if you take a close look at the numbers, it's pretty clear that paying sales charges actually makes it more difficult to get better results. Why? Because the extra expense reduces the return you would have otherwise earned.
So, with no empirical evidence that sales charges make mutual funds perform better, why would anybody pay them? From my perspective, the only reason you might want to pay them is if you're getting something of value from the person selling you the funds. In other words, a better question might be: Does paying sales charges help you perform better? If not, or if you're not getting additional financial assistance of some kind, I would argue that you shouldn't pay sales loads at all.
You Better Get What You Pay For
But what about the old adage: "You get what you pay for?" Isn't that true in the mutual fund world? Again, not if you're just looking at mutual fund returns. You see, the basic truth of mutual fund sales charges is that they exist primarily to compensate the broker or advisor for selling the funds. Sales charges don't get you access to better performing funds. They really just get you access to someone who sells those particular funds, whether the funds perform better or not. Remember, there is no proven positive relationship between sales charges and fund returns.
Does this mean that purchasing mutual funds from a commission-based broker or financial advisor and paying sales loads is a bad thing? Not necessarily.
I worked in that world for many years and always considered my recommendations to be ethical and in the best interest of my clients. I also have many friends in the industry that are similarly compensated, and they are terrific advisors. Again, the issue is not simply a question of the sales charges. It's also about what you're receiving in return for paying them.
Before initially agreeing to pay sales charges, you should evaluate that trade-off by assessing whether you think your advisor can deliver on what he or she is promising. Then, after seeing what type of service and advice you receive, you can decide whether it makes sense to continue down that path.
Alternatives Exist
Fortunately, if you decide that paying sales charges isn't right for you, other alternatives exist. You can go the no-load route with another broker instead and invest in funds that don't have sales charges.
This doesn't necessarily mean you'll be flying solo and have to pick the funds yourself. There used to be a time when "no load" meant "no advice," but that's no longer the case. Today, several companies (USAA included) offer no-load mutual funds and will help you decide how to invest. In some cases, you can even get financial planning advice as part of the deal. No-cost help is available.
Keep in mind though, that all mutual funds (no-load included) have operating expenses which will negatively impact your returns each year. The fund prospectus will disclose the nature and amount of these expenses as well as what, if any, sales charges are present.
Don't Just Accept It
To summarize, paying sales charges isn't necessarily bad – as long as you're getting something of equal or greater value in return. They could even help you (and your finances) perform better if they're packaged with quality investment advice. One thing they won't do though is get you better performing funds.

Acting legend Peter O'Toole was laid to rest at a funeral in London on Saturday (21Dec13).
The Lawrence Of Arabia star passed away on 14 December(13) at the age of 81, and he was mourned at a funeral in the British capital.
The service, attended by his ex-wife, Welsh actress Sian Phillips, took place at Golders Green Crematorium in north London, and was followed by a wake at the late actor's home. Attendees included pop star Sting and Alabama 3.
During the funeral, O'Toole's daughter Kate addressed the congregation and said of her father, "The world has lost a great actor, but I'm not concerned with that. I simply have lost a great dad and the best friend I ever had. Daddy made me laugh more than anyone else I have ever met in my life."

33 year old woman | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking men 25-45 within 30 miles
Why isn't mini golf listed as an athletic activity?
IA little about me - I'm quick to laugh and I think that humor is the sexiest trait a person can possess. I am passionate about my work (and about not working too much), my relationships, and a really good brunch. My "travel to-do" list grows longer everyday and I'm constantly scheming ways to give my passport a workout. My interests are varied and I'm always curious about new things. I'd love to hear about the things that interest you. I recently moved to Austin after spending 7 years in NYC and I'm pretty sure it was a great life choice. I moved because I wanted to spend more time outdoors, enjoy warm weather (Deep Eddy weather year round!), drink more mexican martinis and find someone to share adventures with. I want someone who likes to have fun and laugh with me. I'm easy going and don't have a lot of expectations - just looking for good chemistry and someone to build my life with... and someone to watch the Longhorns with. I'm a big believer in in-person chemistry so rather than exchange many emails, why don't we meet for a coffee and see what happens? Oh, and I just adopted my first dog (an 8mo-old pit mix) so if you have any dog expertise, bonus points!

Latest Golf
Tiger Woods shot a terrific 66 in the first round of the Greenbrier Classic. Here's a look at how he did it.
Tiger Woods started hot and finished even better in an encouraging round at the Greenbrier Classic on Thursday morning.
Donald Trump has some golf takes. You're probably not going to enjoy reading them.
Both Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley have atrocious swings. Shaq's is apparently the least of two evils.
Tiger Woods is back at it at the Grenbrier Classic this weekend. You know his game will lead websites and news shows everywhere. So what does he do to fight against that?
Shaquille O'Neal is not very good at golf. That's evident with the drives he tried to hit at the Greenbrier Classic on Wednesday.
Tiger Woods is playing the Greenbrier Classic for just the second time ever. He's not going to win, is he? (no, he is not going to win)
Jordan Spieth is playing the John Deere Classic next week in Iowa. Is that a good idea for somebody trying to finish off the Grand Slam?
You could make worse choices than Brandt Snedeker for the British Open at St. Andrews this year. Especially considering how much he loves the greens there.
Nothing against the Greenbrier Classic, but it's not exactly the Players Championship. Not even Tiger Woods can affect that.
Jordan Spieth is costing (and making) Under Armour a LOT of money.
At this point, it'll take some magic for Tiger Woods to rekindle the golfer of yesteryear. Peter Dawson thinks his precious Old Course at St. Andrews might hold it.
Can Tiger Woods really contend at the Greenbrier Classic this weekend? If his practice round is any indication, the answer is "yes."
The man synonymous with Nike is stepping aside as the company's chairman.
Shaq Daddy is invading West Virginia this week for the Greenbrier Pro-Am. His swing, if it's still anything like this, needs a little bit of work.

A/C Nozzles
Hey Y'all,
I have an 06 RAM 2500 Laramie with the Cummins Engine.
I have no A/C so I tried to add freon (fake stuff).
I put the hose on the evaporator tank and the gauge was pegged high.
I wonder if I was on a wrong fitting. Where are the fittings and which is which? I found the one in front but it was too big for the hose fitting.
That's when I found the one in the back (passenger side) by the firewall. On a black tank. The hose fit this fitting and that's when I got the reading
When I bought the truck two months ago, the air worked. But once it turned warm it slowly quit. I suspect the dealer did a quick charge and left me to deal with the problem.
I'm just afraid the system is over charged or something.
Any ideas and please confirm the nozle locations. Also, is the compressor on the low side of the front passenger-side of the motor?
Thanks in advance

Softbuttons generally end up in the notification bar (which can be tweaked in size to accommodate them if desired), so you don't have to add them to every app. The only issue that raises (that I am aware of) is that for some full-screen apps the notification bar isn't visible. If soft buttons are added, it might be possible to modify the Nook button to force the notification bar display.

The Story of Plant Evolution (elective)
Instructor: Brian Axsmith, Ph.D.
Saturday, February 22 | 12:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Location: Birmingham Botanical Garden
$40 Members | $45 Non-Members
When did plants first invade the land and what did they look like? Where were they found, and how did they evolve into what we see today? How do researchers determine relationships between groups of plants? This class will answer these questions between groups of plants? This class will answer these questions and offer access to fossils of the earliest known seed and leaf, fossil conifer cones and herbarium specimens – to help us understand how the fascinating world of plants evolved. Time will be spent in The Gardens to corroborate all these topics with live plants.

Berry glitch
|This article contains old or outdated information, or has not been updated in a while. Please check the content of this article and update it as required.
| The contents of this article have been suggested to be split into Dead battery quirks (Generation III).
Please discuss it on the talk page for this article.
The Berry glitch is a glitch only found in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire which stops the game's internal clock. The name of the glitch comes from the fact that the first thing a player will usually notice is that all Berries that have been planted but have not been harvested have ceased growing. The glitch typically occurs after about a year of owning the game, or to games that have been played for over 100 hours, but the exact mechanics of its cause are currently unknown.
- 1 Other affected areas
- 2 Similar effects with dead battery
- 3 Similar effects after replacing a dead battery
- 4 Fixing the glitch
- 5 External links
Other affected areas
As the game's internal clock has been frozen, any time-based events in the game in addition to Berries are also affected by the glitch:
- Lilycove Dept. Store will never have any sales.
- Lilycove Dept. Store will stop allowing the player to draw a Lotto Ticket once per day.
- The Mauville Game Corner will never have any service days.
- The Energy Guru will never sell vitamins cheap.
- The tide in Shoal Cave will not change every six hours, also preventing players from obtaining any more Shell Bells.
- The man who gives out TM27 (Return) and TM21 (Frustration) in Pacifidlog Town will stop giving out TMs.
- NPCs that hand out free Berries once per day will stop handing them out.
- Mirage Island's random number will never change.
- Eevee will only be able to evolve into one of Espeon or Umbreon and not the other.
- Route 119 and Route 123 will be stuck with the same weather condition.
Similar effects with dead battery
When the game cartridge's CR1616 internal battery runs dry, the in-game clock will also stop, resulting in very similar symptoms to the above. However, cartridges that have a dead battery will display a message after the title screen warning of the dry battery and the fact that clock-based events will no longer occur. In contrast, games being affected by the Berry glitch will not display this message. Cartridges that report a dead battery may or may not be also afflicted with the berry glitch; in this case, methods to fix one problem will not fix the other problem, which can make it look as if the fix has not worked. It can also cause the illusion that an Emerald cartridge is affected by the glitch. In order to fix a dead-battery issue, the battery must be physically replaced.
Similar effects after replacing a dead battery
| This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Unclear/confusing, could use rewording.
Cartridges that had their battery replaced may experience similar affected areas. The RTC chip's value is reset to a value prior to the "last-saved-field" of the savegame thus causing the game to not register time as passed. Most of the effects mentioned rely on countdowns and will still be visible on cartridges after the battery has replaced. This may cause the illusion that a cartridge is affected by the glitch when it is not.
However, the clock in the player's room and the Eevee evolution are based on "real time" and therefore be correct. Thus, if a cartridge allows different Eevee evolutions and shows time passing on the clock in the player's room but the other effect are visible. Shoal cave is a special case as it includes both dependencies: The tide will change (dependent on "real time") but Shoal Salts and Shoal Shells will not be refilled (dependent on timeouts)
These issues can be fixed by creating a new savegame (and therefore resetting the "last-saved"-field). Using additional hardware, it may be possible to set the RTC value or edit the "last-saved"-field in a savegame.
Fixing the glitch
The glitch can be fixed with the Berry Program Update from Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, a patch from Pokémon Colosseum, Pokémon XD, Pokémon Channel, Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, the e-Reader, or a specific interactive demo disc, as well as by sending the affected game to Nintendo.
Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen/Emerald patch
- Main article: Berry Program Update
- Load FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald until the title screen is displayed.
- Press the Select and B buttons. After the new screen loads, press A.
- Insert the Link Cable so that the system that the FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald game is connected to the Player 1 cable port and the Ruby or Sapphire game is connected to the Player 2 port. Once this is done, press A.
- Turn on the device with Ruby or Sapphire while holding the Start and Select buttons.
- Refer to the FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald game display for further instructions. The patch should be transferred at this time.
Pokémon Colosseum and XD patch
Linking an affected game to Colosseum or Pokémon XD for trading or battling will automatically download the patch. In addition, the Bonus Disc that came with pre-orders of Colosseum can be used to download Jirachi into a game; when this happens, the patch is downloaded as well.
Pokémon Channel patch
Downloading Jirachi from a PAL version of Pokémon Channel will automatically download the patch.
Pokémon Box patch
Linking an affected game to Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire, accessing the Go To Adventure mode, and then saving the game whilst playing will also automatically fix this glitch, with the message "The Berry Program was updated" appearing with the save confirmation. (This option is not available for Japanese versions.)
e-Reader patch
For Japanese versions, a special set of e-Reader cards (ID# 16-A001 & 16-A002) were distributed with Pokémon Scoop's Winter 2004 issue to allow players to fix this glitch by using e-Readers.
Interactive demo patch
Specially-marked demo discs were released to select stores across U.S. and Japan, so players can visit these stores and download the patch from the disc. In addition, players will also receive a Shiny Zigzagoon holding a Liechi Berry as a bonus. However, since the demo disc program does not block fixed games, players can receive multiple Zigzagoon by downloading to the same cartridge again.
Sending cartridge to Nintendo
If the player had no opportunity to download the patch, the game could be sent to Nintendo to have it fixed. However, as of August 2012, Nintendo stopped offering to patch the Berry glitch.

1879-O Liberty Double Eagle, AU531879-O $20 AU53 PCGS. Variety 1. There was a long hiatus of coining operations at the New Orleans Mint, after its seizure by the Confederacy in 1861. However, the facility was reopened in 1879 because the Bureau of the Mint needed the extra capacity to satisfy the provisions of the Bland-Allison Act. Fortunately for present-day collectors, a small mintage of Liberty eagles and double eagles was produced in 1879, along with nearly 3 million silver dollars. The meager mintage of 2,325 double eagles would prove to be the last twenty dollar gold pieces produced at the famous Southern mint, and the only issue that employed the Type Three design.
Only Type Three New Orleans Twenty
Only 12 Coins Finer at PCGS
Only Type Three New Orleans Twenty
Only 12 Coins Finer at PCGS
The 1879-O double eagles circulated widely in the 19th century, and few examples were preserved by collectors. Doug Winter estimates the surviving population at 75-85 specimens in all grades, with most survivors seen in the VF-XF range. The 1879-O is the fourth-rarest New Orleans double eagle, trailing such fabulous rarities as the 1854-O and 1856-O, and the only slightly more available 1855-O. The last time Heritage was privileged to offer an example of the 1879-O in AU53 condition was in June 2004, and the PCGS population statistics for AU53 or finer grades are the same today as they were at that time. Population: 5 in 53, 12 finer (1/12).
The coin offered here is a sharply detailed AU53 specimen, with fine definition on the strands of Liberty's hair. The surfaces retain almost all of the original mint luster, with smooth orange-gold patina that shows a few highlights of rose and lilac. Only minor contact marks are apparent, the worst being some insignificant roller marks on Liberty's cheek. This coin should find a home in a fine collection or Registry Set.

Passably entertaining 'Goal!' bounces along
Posted 5/11/2006 9:00 PM ET
Liam Daniel, Goal Limited
Kuno Becker plays the son of an illegal immigrant.
Goal! The Dream Begins
* * 1/2 (out of four)
Director: Danny Cannon
Stars: Kuno Becker, Alessandro Nivola, Stephen Dillane, Tony Plana
Distributor: Touchstone Pictures
Rating: PG for language, sexual situations, and some thematic material including partying
Running time: 1 hour, 58 minutes Opens today nationwide
By Claudia Puig, USA TODAY
Predictable Goal! The Dream Begins may not be the stuff of everyone's reveries, but the film is capably acted and somewhat inspiring.
With the soccer craze well established in the USA (as it has long been in the rest of the world), Goal! should find a receptive youthful audience of both genders. And the upcoming World Cup tournament, which begins June 9 in Germany, could help, too.
Teen girls and soccer moms are likely to be captivated by hunky Kuno Becker, one of the biggest stars of the Hispanic world, as Mexican immigrant Santiago Munez, whose talent for soccer is established at an early age.
Though not explored fully enough, Santiago's story of assimilation resonates, especially given the current political climate surrounding immigration law.
As a child, Munez comes to Los Angeles illegally with his family. His hard-nosed and hardworking father (Tony Plana) carves out a life for his family with a gardening job. Ten years later, Santiago works nights as a busboy and days as a gardener with his dad. But whenever possible, he indulges his passion for soccer.
Spotted by a scout (Stephen Dillane), Santiago gets a shot at the big time — a tryout with British club Newcastle United. But he must find a way to pay for the trip to England.
Munez's pursuit of his dream comes at a personal cost. By leaving his father's business, it is as if he has slapped his father in the face. This plot turn is a bit forced, but it's handled, thankfully, without resorting to clichés or teary resolutions.
While in England, Santiago finds romance and dabbles in the partying lifestyle of fellow teammate and local star Gavin Harris (talented Alessandro Nivola, convincing as a playboy athlete). The two actors share a nice chemistry, and their unlikely friendship feels believable.
The rough-and-tumble sports scenes — especially the climactic goals in a couple of key games — are artfully shot and exciting. And the film's eclectic score is a nice counterpoint to the action. (Real soccer stars like David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane make cameo appearances.)
But the plot is formulaic and its conclusion rather abrupt, reinforcing the idea, as the title indicates, that sequels are in the offing. Let's hope that as the dream continues, some originality surfaces in this reliable underdog tale.

Well. This is awkward.
It's been nearly eight years and 10,000 blog posts since I took over this particular Vegas news outlet/ snark dispensary. Seems like as good a time as any to move on.
(Do we need to Kubler-Ross this up together? Cool, let's rock: "This is just an elaborate ruse, right? Tell me it's an elaborate ruse." "No? Well fuck you, then. I never liked this stupid blog anyway." "I didn't mean that. Tell you what, we'll drink so much bourbon together if this train keeps rolling." "Hell with it. The bourbon will just run out anyway, just like everything else in my stupid life." "Screw it. I'll just go look at girls on SpyOn anyway.")
As to what becomes of this website? Stay tuned. Whether it continues on in another form or soldiers along with a new editor is as of yet undecided.
As for me, personally? You'll see me around. Whether in the pages of Vegas Seven as a contributor, in my next soon-to-be-announced endeavor, or else in the story under the headline "Drunken Pantsless Man Tries to Kiss Topless Claire Sinclair on Pin-Up Stage, Arrested." If you'd like to follow me personally on Twitter, that would be swell. I'd love to stay in touch with those of you who've followed along for years, waiting for me to (frequently) do or say something (exceedingly) stupid. Or you can just keep on with the Fiasco accounts, where I'll be announcing any more definitive site news when appropriate.
Thank you for your time.
That is all.

Amber Rose, the Prius of the hip-hop world (not necessarily the conventional model you'd expect to become a status symbol, but eventually, everyone just has to have one), was hanging out with her manager, Nick Cannon at Drai's on Sunday night while Cannon DJ'ed. She wore slightly more than string, to the disappointment of an eager club.
You know, say what you want about Mariah, but at least she had hair. Isn't she a little young for Nick, anyway? And by "young" we mean "age-appropriate."
The Farrah Abraham experience. (Photo by Joe Fury)
In town during AVN weekend to ultimately lose the Best Celebrity Sex Tape category to Tila Tequila (First of all, who didn't see "Tila Tequila sex tape" coming and second of all, who loses to Tila Tequila? Even Juggalos didn't lose to Tila Tequila.), Farrah Abraham and her somewhat-less-fucked-up-lips got her money's worth out of the trip by hosting a toga party at Ghostbar Dayclub on Saturday.
It's just that her idea of "toga party costume" somehow worked out to "trashy mummy." She went with new boyfriend Simon Saran, who, despite all evidence suggesting otherwise, thought it was fine to sign up for Farrah Abraham Boyfriend Duty.
Showing off that trademark Abraham wit and charm, she said her desert island items would be: "I would bring my toothbrush, lotion, my daughter, my mom, my dad. I don't know I'd need my family if I was stranded but I think I'd need a toothbrush."
On Thursday, Abraham had dinner at N9NE, and on Friday she and Saran partied with the Penthouse girls at Life. (more…)

Residency season continues apace. XS announced its 2015 roster, and there's not a lot in the way of surprises. The key player on the dial is EDM's Clown Prince of Crime, Diplo, who brings back his own personal brand of high weirdness to the beat factory. Smart move, adding at least one DJ who has a sense of humor to the otherwise dour ranks of self-important Europeans (or, charitably, "Europeans whose sense of humor doesn't translate well"). Though the club is continuing on with its Alec Monopoly shows as well, showing some love to the art world (or "art" world, whatever) along the way.
The full lineup includes Arty, Avicii, Cazzette, David Guetta, Dillon Francis, DJ Snake, Flosstradamus, Grandtheft, Jermaine Dupri, Kaskade, Laidback Luke, Lil Jon, Major Lazer, Martin Solveig, Manufactured Superstars, Miss Nine, RL Grime, Skrillex, Slander, Tommy Trash, Will Sparks, Wolfgang Gartner, Yellow Claw, TJR and Zedd.

You can't argue with a man who can do this.
Mike Tyson talked to Rolling Stone about guesting on a Madonna track, in his never-ending quest to squeeze all the WTF out of life he possibly can. And you'd think it would end there, with Tyson just talking about the circumstances that led him to be on a Madonna track in 2014, like the last 20 years just never happened or something. Then you remember this is Mike Tyson we're talking about.
"When I did it, I think about being some guy like [Benito] Mussolini and they're really arrogant, but you try to come from a positive perspective and be uplifting. You watch Mussolini on television — even though we don't understand what he's saying — he is so mesmerizing. I look at myself in that way.
"I know people may say 'this guy's a fascist' and all this stuff, but man, you can take positivity from watching him," added Tyson. "No wonder why Hitler was attracted to him. This guy's a hypnotic figure. There's so much pride behind what he's saying. I'm not even Italian and I feel the pride he's projecting. He had that street swag; he was doing this stuff with his hands and moving his head before it was even hip-hop."
Mike Tyson looks at himself like Mussolini. Does, uh. Does Mike not know how things ended up for Benny? It's kind of so famously grizzly that there's a band named for it and everything. Maybe Tyson's just a big Cheers fan? Also? Italians moving their hands when they talk isn't hip-hop or street swag. It's just that we basically have digital Tourette's. (more…)
Grills, grills, grills. (Photos by Erik Kabik)
Tucked into the middle of this entertaining GQ piece on Motley Crue's last ride comes word that Vince Neil has plans, among his ever-shifting business landscape, to open a burger joint. (Sure. Why not.) But not just any burger joint.
"It's called Quickee Burgers," he says. "And it'll be just, like, a kiosk, and it's only $5, and you only get a burger, fries, and a Coke—$5. That's it. You just get those three things."
Of course Vince Neil is opening a burger joint, and of course it's going to be called "Quickee Burgers" and of course he's incredibly blithe about the whole thing, and of course Mike Tyson and Ian Ziering are investors. For real. So it's a safe bet that this is going to turn up in the Westgate or Circus Circus or some other benighted joint. Plus, they're missing out on a huge opportunity to do a Sharknado burger. (more…)
We're just sad he's not playing Osama. (Via Instagram.com/Gunsnroses)
The national treasure of National Treasure, and surprise Las Vegan, Nic Cage is going hunting for Osama bin Laden. Seinfeld writer and Borat director Larry Charles tabbed Cage for his searching-for-Osama satire Army of One. It's being presented as "semi-scripted," which means we have the very distinct and real possibility of Nic Cage going off-script for 120 minutes. Shut up and take our money. (more…)
Todd Glass starts his run at The Improv tonight (8:30 p.m., 10 p.m., $29.05). If you want to get a taste, by all means check out Glass singing "bing bong" for nearly six minutes. Try not to go through the funny-not funny-unbelievably funny again cycle. We dare you. (more…)
We have always been at war with Uncle Nutzy's Clubhouse.
America's Sweetheart, "Weird" Al Yankovic, is finally getting the five-date run he so richly deserves after 2014, The Year of "Weird," made everyone collectively go "Oh wait, I used to love that guy." Take it from someone who's been down to Primm for "Weid" Al shows: It's not Al that changed, it's you. The weird has been inside you all along, li'l shaver.
Yankovic will take his rightful place among the Strip's luminaries when he kicks off a five-show run at Planet Hollywood May 12-16. Tickets are $59 and $89, which, again, is amazing considering he was just playing Primm last year. They let you into Primm shows if you just agree to tighten a few bolts on the roller coaster there. (more…)
God, that thing looks like it gets a quarter mile to the gallon. It's glorious.
Texas alt-country act Cody Canada and The Departed comes to Brooklyn Bowl tonight (7:30 p.m., $16.50). Bad call on the name, continuing to go by Cody Canada, even though you're from Texas. Instinctively, we thought this was a Triumph cover band. Still, anyone who uses an early '50s Hudson in their press photo can't be all bad. (more…)

Dinner Tonight: Farro Risotto with Rapini
I was so happy when I found a lovely bunch of rapini (AKA broccoli rabe) at the market, that I purchased it without even thinking about how to use it. Of course, there are all the usual suspects: with pasta and Italian sausage, or with mozzarella and red peppers. But I needed a new way to use the famously bitter green. More

If you're getting a divorce and need some one-stop shopping for all your divorcing needs, look no further! The Divorce Expo has events and exhibits to help you navigate the ugly waters of marital unraveling.
Christie Brinkley, are you listening?
Remaining dates for The Divorce Expo 2012 (TDE) will take place this year on August 18 in Chicago and October 13 in Miami. Attendees can find out about many topics, including family law, retirement and insurance, (co-)parenting, personal care, and relationships and dating.
At the recent TDE in New York City, guests could enjoy a free haircut or attend seminars like "My Formerly Hot Life." TDE was started by the mother/daughter team of Nicole Baras Feuer, a divorce mediator and divorced mother herself, and her mother, Francine Baras, who is a family therapist.
The two started the expo because, although divorce is quite common, they felt there was still a stigma to it. Baras Feuer realized that people going through a divorce would benefit from "a place to come and meet professionals face-to-face and not get everything from a book or a website, to bring everything live and let people have all the accurate information under one roof instead of piecemealing it."
Well, that's a practical approach. With divorce so prevalent, I suppose there's no reason to be shy about it. I say kick off the weekend with a Larry King Honorary Cocktail party. Guests can mix and mingle while they sip Single Malt and listen to Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover."
Since divorce is becoming a fact of life all over the world, expos like these can only increase. In Japan, a divorce ceremony is sometimes employed to help couples separate with a clean break. The package can include a buffet meal to share with friends, a custom-made dress with an especially attractive back so you look good walking away, and a smashing of the wedding rings with a hammer.
I call that a reality show waiting to happen. Aren't we all sick of bridezillas? I think Americans are ready for a show in which couples break up with all the trimmings: fancy food, slick lawyers, and tearful family members. Don't let Splitsville be dull. Go out in style!
If you are going through a divorce, you don't have to do it alone. Find out more at TDE www.divorceexpo.com. I hear the Kardashians' seminar is selling out.

Creating Long Documents with InDesign shows designers how to create book-length documents in workflows with multiple users—using both InDesign features and third-party plug-ins. Publishing veteran Mike Rankin focuses on long document elements such as page and chapter numbering, table of contents, cross-references, and indexes. The course also provides an overview of document construction, from creating master pages and applying consistent formatting with styles to placing text and images and outputting to both print and interactive PDF.
While most index entries will just include specific page references, you sometimes need to create ones that refer to other entries. We call these cross-referenced index entries, and there are two kinds: one kind has no page numbers at all and just refers to another entry with the word See and a second kind includes page numbers and includes a cross-reference with the words See also. We will see how to create each of these. First, we will do a See also. Now, what I want to do is create a cross-reference to this cheese here, Caciocavallo on page 12, and I want the cross-reference to be from the text horse cheese.
So I'll double-click to select horse cheese. I'll press Command+7 or Ctrl+7 on the PC to bring up the New Page Reference dialog box. And under Type, instead of Current Page, I will choose See also and click OK. Now, if I scroll down to H and look under horse cheese, there's no page reference. It just says See also Caciocavallo. But now I need to add the page number for horse cheese. So again, I'll press Command+7 or Ctrl+7 and choose Current Page and say OK.
So now, I have the real page number for horse cheese and the cross-reference. Now, let's do a cross-reference with just See. I'll zoom out and zoom back in on this heading, Pungency Prevails. I'll double-click to select the word Pungency and then Press Command+7 or Ctrl+7. This time for Type, I will just choose See and for Referenced, I will tip open my topics and drag Caciocavallo up to the Referenced field and click OK.
Now, if I look under P, I can see Pungency, See Caciocavallo. So, no page number. Just the cross-reference. There also is a third less- commonly-used custom cross-reference. Let's see how that works. I will zoom in on Shapes and Sizes, and I'll double-click to select Caciocavallo. Again, Command or Ctrl+7. And this time we will choose Custom Cross-Reference, the very last entry.
In here, I can just type in whatever text I want to, so I am going to type "For more information, see" and I will cross-reference Provolone. So I'll scroll down to P and drag that up to the Referenced field, and click OK. Now, under Caciocavallo, I have a custom cross-reference, For more information, see Provolone.
So far, we've seen how to create index topics and references, and now cross-references. In our next movie, we'll look at how to use Find/Change to place index markers in our text and speed up some of the more tricky and time-consuming work we have to do with indexes.
