After I got in the game for like 3 - 5 mins I got a pink screen crash. I can't alt tab out I had to hard restart the comp. Then it works fine after that not a single crash. It just happens like that everytime I turned off the c omputer for at least 2 - 3 hours then the crash happen after I turn on the comp and open up a 3D game. I tried this with other 3D game too like World of Warcraft and same thing happened. I tried with both window XP and Vista (32 and 64 bit) and the problem still happen.

Conservation Futures Program celebrates 30 years
July 31, 2012
The program instrumental in conserving Cougar Mountain as permanent open space is turning 30, and outdoors enthusiasts planned a local event to celebrate the milestone.
In the past 30 years, county officials used $300 million in Conservation Futures Program funds and more than $150 million in matching funds to preserve land, including the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park near Issaquah.
Overall, program dollars enabled the county to conserve 108,600 acres countywide, add 3,200 acres of urban parks and greenways, and protect 4,700 acres of watershed and salmon habitat.
Cougar Mountain is the initial parkland purchased with program funds.
"Through the commitment of residents and leaders over the past three decades, we have built a legacy of working forestlands and farms, linked trail systems and preserved beautiful open space for us — and future generations — to enjoy," King County Executive Dow Constantine said in a statement.
The county and open space partners also launched a website, www.kingcounty.gov/conservationfutures, to explain the program's history.

Runners break course record at 10-mile leg of trail run series
July 10, 2012
Beating the course record by nearly two and a half minutes, Seattle resident Eddie Strickler crossed the finish line of the latest installment of the Cougar Mountain Trail Run series July 7 with a time of 1 hour, 14 minutes and 54 seconds.
The previous record for the 10-mile run was held by Matt Messner's 2006 time of 1:17:28.
Strickler, a 28-year-old software engineer who ran track and field and cross country for Seattle Pacific University, said he participated in each of the Cougar Mountain Trail Runs last year and plans to run in each of the five events this year.
This was Strickler's first first-place win in the Cougar Mountain series.
"I probably run five days a week," he said. "For me, it's a good switch from sitting at a desk all day."
Keegan Symmes, the race's second-place finisher, and Gareth Jones, the runner who took third place, also beat the course record with times of 1:16:20 and 1:17:23, respectively.
"I love the park," Strickler said. "I've run out here since being in college. I just love the trails … on a day like this you just want to get out into the woods and enjoy the day."
Boy Scouts tackle three Issaquah Alps in one day
July 3, 2012
Local group climbs mountains in less than 12 hours
A troop of Boy Scouts recently set what might be a world record when they climbed all three of the Issaquah Alps in one day.
The 20-mile hike began behind schedule on a misty Saturday morning.
Roughly 10 minutes after 7 a.m. June 9, the hikers began their long walk from Newcastle to Issaquah.
The handful of Scouts accompanied by their parents had their work cut out for them. They called it the "Three Peak Challenge." The troop was accompanied by experienced hiker Paul Mitchell.
The challenge was to hike Cougar, Squak and Tiger mountains within 12 hours. The Scouts finished the hike in 11½.

Sammamish Club goes up for auction
June 26, 2012
A Los Angeles-based commercial real estate company plans to auction the Sammamish Club fitness and tennis facility at the base of Cougar Mountain next month.
CBRE Auction Services is putting the property up for auction July 26. The opening bid for the Sammamish Club is $2.5 million and bidders must put down a $150,000 deposit.
The property consists of adjoining structures — a 24,000-square-foot indoor tennis facility built in 1978 and a 48,148-square-foot fitness facility built in 1999 — on 4.46 acres visible from Interstate 90 and Newport Way Northwest.
The land is inside the area targeted for long-term redevelopment in the Central Issaquah Plan, a sweeping proposal to transform the area into a pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use neighborhood. The seller touted the redevelopment opportunity in information about the auction.
The fitness facility includes a 25-yard enclosed swimming pool, spa and massage facilities, aerobic and training studios, and other amenities.
Homebuilder plans to add 81 homes on Cougar Mountain
June 26, 2012
Homebuilder CamWest announced plans June 6 to build 81 homes on Cougar Mountain.
The development, called Belvedere, is in Bellevue inside Issaquah School District boundaries and near Cougar Ridge Elementary School. Plans call for CamWest to develop the homes on half-acre sites.
CamWest started developing plans for the site since securing the location in February. The sales center for the neighborhood is expected to open in August.
In November, Toll Brothers — based in Horsham, Pa. — acquired Kirkland-based CamWest to enter the Seattle home market.
Executives at the combined company said the Cougar Mountain location is a selling point.
"Belvedere's location — with sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound and the Seattle skyline — will make this community unlike any other in the region," said Eric Campbell, president of Toll Brothers' CamWest division. "We're starting to see growth in the real estate economy and we expect Belvedere's luxury homes — which will be designed to maximize these extraordinary views — will quickly become sought after by home buyers looking for a distinct address."
In Issaquah, CamWest built the Highlands Square, Hunters Place and West Highlands Park developments in the Issaquah Highlands.
Police ask for help to find suspect after violent attack
June 12, 2012
Police asked for assistance June 5 to find the suspect in a violent attack against a woman near Southeast Newport Way and Lakemont Boulevard Southeast at the base of Cougar Mountain.
Bellevue investigators said the woman used pepper spray to fend off the attacker and later escaped. Bellevue police responded to the area near the Bellevue-Issaquah city line at 11:30 p.m. June 1.
The 23-year-old woman had just disembarked from a King County Metro Transit bus at a stop near the intersection. Police said the male suspect, another passenger on the bus, followed her as she exited the vehicle. The bus did not have a surveillance camera.
The suspect then grabbed the woman from behind and attempted to drag her from the roadway. Police said she resisted, but the suspect punched her in the face several times and then threw her to the ground.
What to know
Investigators ask people with information about the Southeast Newport Way and Lakemont Boulevard Southeast attack to call 911 if they see the suspect.
The woman then retrieved pepper spray from her pocket and sprayed the suspect. The attacker then fled from the scene.
Police later used a dog to search for the suspect, but could not locate him.
The woman and the Metro bus driver described the suspect as a noticeably pale, white male. They described him as mid-20s; about 5 feet, 7 inches tall; with a thin build, shaved head and thin mustache. Police said he wore a white polo shirt with brown horizontal stripes and baggy blue jeans.
Homes sought for neglected dogs seized from Issaquah home
June 12, 2012
Local shelters need to find homes for Chihuahuas seized from a filthy home in Issaquah last year, officials at the organizations announced June 8, days after the dog owner convicted in the case pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges.
Regional Animal Services of King County and foster families started caring for the dogs in October, after animal control and King County Sheriff's Office investigators discovered 62 dogs in a raid on a home in the 5900 block of 189th Avenue Southeast on Cougar Mountain, about a mile south of Cougar Mountain Zoo.
Prosecutors said Issaquah resident Margaret Ann Hamilton, 70, hoarded more than 100 dogs at homes in Issaquah and Burien. Police discovered 38 more dogs at a Burien home owned by Hamilton's brother-in-law.
Veterinarians later euthanized 14 ill animals — 13 dogs from the Burien home and one dog from the Issaquah home.

Wot I Think: Antichamber
Truth be told, Antichamber felt nearly finished the first time I ever laid hands on it. That was nearly a year ago. But creator Alexander Bruce insisted that ' even after multiple years of near-obsessive fine-tuning ' his non-Euclidean, Escher-ish, other impressive words that start with E puzzler needed more. So now here we are. But is it actually, truly finished? And was it worth the interminable, largely radio silent wait? Here's wot I think.

GLX_NV_swap_group documentation/examples?
Hi. I'm trying to framelock/swaplock apps on two machines with
Quadro FX 3000G cards. nvidia-settings is happy to set up framelock;
now apparently I need to get each app to join a swap group and wait on a common barrier somehow.
I see the high-level description of what the GLX_NV_swap_group is supposed
to do, and the function calls in /usr/include/GL/glxext.h:
extern Bool glXJoinSwapGroupNV(Display *dpy, GLXDrawable drawable,
GLuint group);
extern Bool glXBindSwapBarrierNV(Display *dpy, GLuint group, GLuint barrier);
extern Bool glXQuerySwapGroupNV(Display *dpy, GLXDrawable drawable,
GLuint *group, GLuint *barrier);
extern Bool glXQueryMaxSwapGroupsNV(Display *dpy, int screen,
GLuint *maxGroups, GLuint *maxBarriers);
But... how do I use these? The nvidia site notes that detailed documentation
is available to NVidia developers, but says that those are OEMs. I'm a software
developer (at U. of Illinois), but don't think I'd qualify as an OEM.
At a guess, usage might be:
0) Make sure each display/screen has been joined into a framelock group
using nvidia-settings or equivalent.
1) Call glXQueryMaxSwapGroupsNV() on the local display/screen
to find the range of possible group- and barrier- numbers
(I'm guessing they're small integers, 1 to maxGroups or similar)
2) Pick a pair of small positive integers (group, barrier)
and communicate them with the peer app(s).
(Is there any way to tell whether a value is in use by some unrelated app?
If not, is there any reason not to just always use group=1, barrier=1?)
3) Each app creates its window and then calls
glXJoinSwapGroupNV( dpy, window, group )
4) Each app calls
glXBindSwapBarrierNV( dpy, group, barrier )
5) Every glXSwapBuffers() thereafter is tied to the barrier.
If one of the peer apps dies, it'll wait forever (hmm?).
Anyone know whether that right? Or, are there any references that non-manufacturer-types can read?
Re: GLX_NV_swap_group documentation/examples?
This document describes WGL_NV_swap_group extension, which is a Windows equivalent of GLX_NV_swap_group.

The former Celtic youth player walked out on a loan move to Russia this week after just a day at Krylia Sovetov Samara, when he insisted he had made a mistake and flew back to London. But the Stamford Bridge club have immediately shipped him out again, this time to Heraklion club OFI Crete, where Gattuso is manager.
Feruz, who refused to play for Scotland's under-19 side in the summer, will stay with the ambitious Greek club for the rest of the season.

Dear Anna Why do insurers have a problem with pregnancy?
There is insurance against almost every eventuality, so it's surprising that no one has though to insure people's insurance policies. However well covered you think you are, those artful providers are adept at dreaming up reasons why you can't get what you've paid for. Julie Newton bought an annual worldwide travel policy from Go Travel last June and, seven months later, discovered she was pregnant. Go Travel informed her that her condition effectively invalidated her existing policy since she would not be covered for any pregnancy-related mishap. Fair enough.

They all made it out okay, but they lost all of the belongings and their home.

Loralei Premo '07
Biology Major
Communications and SPC Administrator, Drinking Source Water Protection Division of the Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority (Ontario)
"Most natural science classes at LSSU offer students as much hands-on experience (lab hours) as lecture hours, which ensures that the university experience prepares us for the real world careers, whether you work at a desk or out in the field, or both. There are endless advantages and opportunities available to LSSU students due to its location on an international border.
I found my career path on campus when my advisor posted a job for the Bi-national Public Advisory Council (BPAC), a group dedicated to and overseeing the clean-up the St. Mary's River. I was able to gain experience and network on both sides of the border, ultimately finding full-time employment before I graduated with my biology degree."
the 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the American Revolution there were many disputes
between the United States and Great Britain concerning the boundary lines of
the Great Lakes. Originally the Upper Peninsula was of no use to the Americans
so there weren't many concerns over its boundaries until the War of 1812 when
hostilities resumed between the British and the Americans. Disputes began over
the border within the Saint Mary's River, which covered sixty miles of waterway.
War broke out amongst the fleets and armies stationed along the common borders.
On December 24, 1814, President John Madison's administration
reached a formal agreement for peaceful determination of the boundary. This
ended the War of 1812. In the formal agreement, two commissioners, one from
the United States and one from Great Britain, would determine the boundaries
after surveying and mapping the land. The commissioners began their work
in May of 1817.
In the summer of 1815 the British surrendered Fort Mackinac
to the US and its garrison withdrew to Drummond Island to command the outlet
of the Saint Mary's River. From this vantage point the British government
sought to maintain its ancient contact with the tribes around the upper lakes
and to control the fur trade. The main concern was the Chippewa Indians of
Sault Ste. Marie. This tribe was dependent on the traders coming from the
west and east, trading food, tools, and weapons for furs and some medicines.
They saw no reason to welcome American rule under the new formal agreement
of 1814. The Chippewa instead chose to continue their allegiance to Great
Britain. Once they had undisputed control of the region the American government
moved to establish effective control over the northwestern tribes and region.
The American government decided to establish a garrison along all lake side
shores and end British dominance in trading. This would give countenance
to the operations of American fur traders. New garrisons were established
and built at Green Bay, Rock Island, Praire du Chein, and Fort Snelling and
Sault Ste. Marie. In order to build in the Sault the government had to first
receive consent from the Chippewa, since all their land had been returned
to them with the treaty with Indian tribes in 1815. The government sent Governor
Lewis Cass of the Michigan territory to conduct negotiations.
Cass arrived in Sault Ste. Marie in the summer of 1820
and held a council meeting with the Chippewa at which he explained the intention
of the government to establish a fort. After the explanation many members
of the tribes were angered. Sassaba, brother of Chief Shingabowassin, retrieved
a British flag from his village, marched up the hill and planted it there
in defiance of Cass. Cass took down this flag and threw it to the ground,
declaring that the American government could and would destroy their village.
Chief Shingabowassin was summoned by Susan Johnston and he then calmed his
brother down. It was the great chief who stopped blood shed from happening
that day. At a later council meeting sixteen square miles were ceded to the
American government for the Sault garrison.
In the summer of 1822 a battalion of the Second United
States Regiment arrived from Sackett's Harbor under the command of then-Colonel
Hugh Brady. The Fort was then constructed under Colonel Brady's direction.

I stayed here for 3 nights with another party.The staff were all frendly could not bend over backwards enough to be friendly. The food was very good only downside was there was not enough choice in the restaurant without paying more. I spoke to another couple and they advised the bar food was great. The pool was good to swim in and relax. If I had not seen there room I would not be aware my tv was different and did not get all the channels they had. The only let down was wifi you had to keep logging in every day and u kept being kicked out every couple of hours it got quite frustrating after the 6 attempt on the 2 day. less

Up a long drive which opens up into a good sized car park. The checking in was efficient and I was given relevant information. My room on the ground floor was very spacious with two exceptionally comfortable chairs to relax in read or watch some television. I hope when this room is upgraded they replace those chairs with like or have them reapolsted rather than replace with something more modern but without the comfort. The bed was a dream and I had the best nights sleep than in any other hotel I have stayed this year. They have a lovely outside seating area which is new since my last visit and it is evident that a lot of work is being undertaken. The food and service is first class delicious food served by charming friendly staff. This is an area known for its warm hearted people. TV rather ancient with limited choice of programmes was my only negative but as the weather was gorgeous sitting out and taking in the views was my choice after a busy working day. My visit was so possitive I can happily recommend this hotel. less

We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a fantastic suite with an enormous bathroom and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. It was beautifully furnished, well equipped and perfectly peaceful at night. We had paid for a DBB package, the choice and quality of the food & wine at dinner were excellent, and both were very good value for money.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will defintely be back again.

The fact that Mesoraco is raking early this season takes some pressure off Holmberg, but considering we traded a valuable asset like Hanigan for him, Holmberg's production will still be under the microscope. I cringed when I saw he gave up 6 ER in 0.1 IP today.
I was fully on board with trading Hanigan for a prospect. But could we have done better? Forget about today's start, what do we know about Holmberg? Do you think this was a good trade? I'm sure this has been debated before, but I'm curious to hear some fresh thoughts now that the season has started. No question Hanigan needed to be moved in order to make room for Mesoraco as the everyday catcher. But my question is could Walt have gotten more on his return?

Beautiful shots!
The sun is so BIG! How much zoom were you using?
The ravine is nice too, too bad the sky is so blown out. I like the texture on the ruins.

November 27th, 2004 #4It was a 10x zoom. The only thing i'm not happy about with these is if you zoom in on the radiating sun glow, the colours look a bit segmented, would that be the camera or me?
what do you mean by blown out? I wish i had my fuji when i took this shot, the kodak i used was less than 1 megapixel so anything larger than A3 size and it looks pixelated as all hell!

RaboDirect PRO12 match preview: Dragons v Scarlets
Last Updated: 30/03/13 2:39pm
Newport Gwent Dragons have made wholesale changes to their side ahead of Saturday's encounter with Scarlets at the Millennium Stadium.
Welsh team officials have championed this weekend's RaboDirect PRO12 fixtures with two derbies on offer.
First up the Dragons take on Scarlets, before Cardiff Blues face the Ospreys in a double-header at the national stadium.
Wales internationals Toby Faletau and Dan Lydiate are named in the Dragons back row alongside Nic Cudd who retains his place at openside flanker.
But they are without loosehead prop Phil Price, who will undergo knee surgery next week, although Aaron Coundley, Hugh Gustafson and Dan Way all return to the front row.
Following a successful Six Nations campaign with Wales Andrew Coombs leads the Dragons out as they make their first appearance at the national stadium.
Meanwhile, the Scarlets welcome their Wales international contingent back to the starting line-up as coach Simon Easterby seeks a third successive victory.
Centres Jonathan Davies and Scott Williams return to the side with Gareth Maule dropping to the bench and Adam Warren left out of the squad.
On the wings George North and Liam Williams get the nod leaving Andy Fenby out of side while Matthew Rees starts at hooker.
Dragons: 15 Tom Prydie, 14 Will Harries, 13 Pat Leach, 12 Jack Dixon, 11 Ross Wardle, 10 Dan Evans, 9 Jonathan Evans, 8 Toby Faletau 7 Nic Cudd, 6 Dan Lydiate, 5 Rob Sidoli, 4 Andrew Coombs (capt), 3 Dan Way, 2 Hugh Gustafson, 1 Aaron Coundley. Replacements: 16 Sam Parry, 17 Owen Evans, 18 Nathan Buck, 19 Jevon Groves, 20 Ieuan Jones, 21 Wayne Evans, 22 Steffan Jones, 23 Adam Hughes.
Scarlets: 15 Gareth Owen, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Liam Williams, 10 Owen Williams, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Rob McCusker (capt), 7 Johnathan Edwards, 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Synman, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Matthew Rees, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Ken Owens, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Deacon Manu, 19 Sione Timani, 20 Josh Turnbull, 21 Rhodri Williams, 22 Aled Thomas, 23 Gareth Maule.
What they said...
Scarlets coach Simon Easterby
"The boys have prepared well - it's been an intense training week at Parc y Scarlets with plenty of competition to get into the starting XV which has really added an edge," he told the club's official website.
Dragons second row Rob Sidoli
"The Millennium Stadium is a special place for both the players and the fans and it's a great concept to have these two derby matches here on the same day the atmosphere will be amazing," he told the club's official website.

27 cm. Beautiful but very cryptic forest kingfisher. Largely rufous with blue wings, rump and tail with distinctive blue moustachial and eye-stripes and red bill. Similar spp. Sacred Kingfisher Todiramphus sancta has paler buff underparts and collar. Variable Kingfisher Ceyx lepidus is much smaller. Voice Guadalcanal birds call before dawn and after dusk: a loud, ringing series of ko-ko-ko... notes. Hints Birds call daily but are very difficult to see above Betilonga on Guadalcanal. Learn the call and listen before dawn.
Distribution and population
Actenoides bougainvillei has two subspecies: bougainvillei on Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, and excelsa on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands. There are a few specimens from Bougainville, the last taken in 1938, and three from Guadalcanal, the last taken in 1953 (Mayr 1945, Cain and Galbraith 1956), and then no definite records until 1994. It is very unobtrusive and crepuscular and is liable to have been overlooked unless the call is known. In 1994 and 1997, it was found to be frequent in montane forest above the abandoned Betilonga village on Guadalcanal. Calls were heard from up to six locations from a camp at 1,500 m. If each call relates to a different bird, then the local density was 75 calling birds per km2, but much forest at this altitude is unsuitable for this species (D. Gibbs in litt. 1994, Gibbs 1996, G. Dutson pers. obs. 1997). No other montane sites have been visited on Guadalcanal. On Bougainville, calls believed to be of this species were heard in 1986 on the edge of lowland swamp-forest near Arawa (Bishop 1987) and a pair was reportedly watched at a nest-hole in the late 1980s (K. D. Bishop in litt. 1983).
Observations and reports from Guadalcanal indicate that it only occurs in closed-canopy forest between 900-1,100 m and at least 1,550 m. Calls were not heard from the many patches of more open forest, damaged by cyclones and land-slides (D. Gibbs in litt. 1994, Gibbs 1996, G. Dutson pers. obs. 1997). On Guadalcanal, it is reported to nest in holes in the ground, sometimes in forest but usually in riverbanks (Gibbs 1996). It appears to be a lowland species on Bougainville where it is very poorly known, but there is a report of it nesting in an arboreal ant-plant (Mayr 1945, K. D. Bishop in litt. 1983).
The Guadalcanal subspecies occurs at altitudes above human activity. As a hole-nesting species, it is potentially threatened by introduced rats and cats which are found at high altitudes (Leary 1991). The Bougainville subspecies appears to occur in the lowlands which have been partially logged and heavy logging is likely to recommence once the island re-opens to commercial exploitation.
Conservation Actions Underway
None is known. Conservation Actions Proposed
On Guadalcanal, search for more readily accessible populations above Gold Ridge. Survey other montane sites, especially from the south coast. Survey prevalence of introduced mammalian predators in mountains. Research population densities and basic ecology above Betilonga. Survey the population on Bougainville. Establish a system of community-based conservation areas.

The irresistible David Freed's first mystery is a stay-up-late-to-finish thriller. Based in sunny Rancho Bonita - "California's Monaco", as the city's moneyed minions like to call it - Cordell Logan is a literate, sardonic flight instructor and aspiring Buddhist with dwindling savings and a shadowy past. When his beautiful ex-wife, Savannah, shows up out of the blue to tell him that her husband has been murdered in Los Angeles, Logan is quietly pleased. Savannah's late husband, after all, is Arlo Echevarria, the man she left Logan for.
suspenseful, realistic, funny
Moments before he is executed, the killer of the daughter of Hub Walker, a famous Vietnam War pilot and hero, makes a startling allegation, claiming that the real murderer is a close friend of Walker's, a prominent U.S. defense contractor. Walker wants to hire somebody willing to spend a few days digging up information that will refute the convicted killer's groundless but widely reported claims and will help restore his friend's good name. That somebody, as fate would have it, is Cordell Logan....
Sure, Book 2 will tie into Book 3. I had to listen to it.

Finally, another team of researchers found that variations in DNA "mismatch repair" genes (those that correct DNA errors) might predict how pancreatic patients respond to different therapies.
Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult treat, with five-year survival rates hovering at only 5 percent. But some patients do better than others and the critical question is "why?"
"How to identify those patients remains a clinical challenge," said study author Donghui Li, professor of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
"A number of genotypes remain significant predictors of tumor response to therapy, tumor respectability [whether surgery is an option] and overall survival," Li said. One genotype predicted a 94 percent response rate to preoperative chemoradiation, compared to 73 percent in patients without the genotype, the study found.
Median survival for those with a "good" genotype was 25.5 months, vs. 7.4 months for those with a "bad" genotype, according to the researchers.
The symposium is sponsored by the American Gastroenterological Association Institute, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Society for Radiation Oncology, and the Society of Surgical Oncology.

Watch These Cats Just Lounging Around — Daily Distraction
Cats can, on occasion, seem a bit lazy. And that's not an entirely undeserved reputation.
Cats can, on occasion, seem a bit lazy. And that's not an entirely undeserved reputation.
Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks is looking for volunteers for its annual Dome Mountain Clean-Up Day, co-sponsored by the Park County Rod and Gun Club, on June 8. Volunteers will be cleaning up and removing remnants of old fencing that are dangerous to wildlife on this important elk winter range. Details here:
If you've ever had the unfortunate opportunity to come face to face with a goose, you know that birds are total jerks. If you've been blessed enough to somehow avoid all personal contact with birds, we are here to tell you that birds are total jerks.
The next time a particular aspect of your own appearance gets you down -- like an expanding waistline, or a larger than normal nose -- remember what our mom used to say to us as children: "You could've been born as a star-nosed mole, or a blobfish. Now shut up and eat your tacos!" (Love ya, mom!)
My wife does a lot of yoga at home. That can be a challenge for her (and great entertainment for me) with two dogs and two cats. All four of our animals think mommy's yoga mat is a playtime gauntlet. She'll probably have to always shut the dogs away when doing yoga at home but maybe the cats just wanna get involved. Ever thought about incorporating them into the home routine? Here's a quick instructional video of how to do yoga with your cat. Yoga poses include Cuddlecatasana, Crescent Purrior, Lion King pose and more:
Anyone who's seen their dog try to drink all the water shooting out of a sprinkler knows just how mesmerizing some animals find those machines.
Listen everyone, we have the day's most adorable distraction. They're cute and hilarious and it's time for monkey GIFs, y'all!
While we can't know for sure whether dogs really dream—we've asked ours a hundred times, can't get a clear answer—it's hard to reach any other conclusion after watching these pooches.
It can be hard to get an accurate idea of just how big, say, a giraffe actually is. Then one sticks its head in through your car window and you have a very, very clear idea.
I don't know what kind of circus they're running in China's Shanghai Wildlife Park. Something was bound to go wrong when they set up a bear vs. monkey bicycle race right? According to a "park" official, the bear was wearing a muzzle and the monkey wasn't hurt. You have to see this melee:
I've lived here a long time and never seen these buggers do their thing. Here's a very quick video of wild turkeys caught struttin' their stuff in Western Montana. (Not sure EXACTLY where this was taken...)
You would think that a fish would prefer to stay in the water.

Road to Whataburger Field goes through Lexington, Lancaster
Since the days of Hunter Pence, Whataburger Field has been a badland of failed prospects and dead-end organization-fillers.
The Hooks may starting just their fifth year, but 2006 surely does seem like a long time ago.
The outlook for this season is much the same as the previous two as Houston attempts to rebuild and restock the farm system through quietly solid drafts. However, I'm sure many of you who pay to see this team in Corpus would like to know when your patronage and support will pay off. Sure, players coming to Corpus aren't expected to stay long, but your hard earned money should still be spent watching actual prospects with actual hope. If you're going to pay inflated prices for a Whataburger, it better to be to watch a winner. I hear ya, Corpus.
Well, help is on the way and it isn't that far off. Last season, under new head scout, Bobby Heck, the Astros put together a highly successful draft and expect some of those picks to start pushing for jobs in Houston as soon as next Spring. Until then, 5 of their first 9 picks will start this season at Class A – advanced with the Lancaster Jethawks. The rest of the talented draft pool will start the year with the Class A Lexington Legends.
The Jethawks are a part of the California League and are in their inaugural season as the Astros' high-A club, replacing the Salem Avalanche. Lancaster, located 72 miles North of Los Angeles, is now the prep-area for your future Hooks.
Future Hooks to keep an eye out for are:
C Jason Castro
SS Christopher Jackson
OF Jack Shuck
OF Jonathan Gaston
RHP Chris Hicks
LHP David Duncan
LHP Shane Wolf
RHP Chia-Jen Lo
These eight will start this season one level below Double-A, which practically assures them lengthy appearances in Corpus this summer. Castro, the 10th pick overall in last year's draft, is being groomed to compete for the Astros' starting job next summer, so his rise through the system is expected to be rapid. Don't be surprised to see him at Whataburger Field before the second month of the season. Following behind him will be Koby Clemens, but he doesn't seem to carry that Clemens "magic" and could see his career in the Astros' system dead end as "Mayor of Corpus Christi".
Wolf, Duncan and Hicks are also expected to rise to Corpus fairly soon, but their competition in Lexington won't be far off the pace. The Legends will open the season with quite possibly the best starting rotation in the entire Astros system – including the big league club.
Legends starting five
Jordan Lyles
Ross Seaton
Kyle Greenwalt
Robert Bono
Brad Dydalewicz
Those names will be in Corpus soon and could help the Hooks overwhelm their Texas League counterparts either this season or next. Lyles and Greenwalt are the cream of that very strong crop and could be passing this way enroute to Round Rock as soon as July.
In the grand scheme, the Hooks are just a stepping stone and fans realize that, but it's OK to hope for a good product on the field. Last season's Hooks were deplorable in every way and it went to show how the Astros earned Baseball America's distinction of being ranked last in minor league development. This season can and will change that. They didn't build Rome in a day. Hang in there, Hooks fans. This season will be better.

It'll Be All Right On The Night...
Theatre people have a saying: "Bad rehearsal, good performance", which is largely used to reassure themselves when things haven't been going that well.
A number of Formula 1 teams will be echoing that sentiment after an intriguing first four days of testing at Jerez in south-western Spain last week.
And if you are NOT a Infiniti Red Bull Racing fan you will be telling yourself that the stars of the F1 cast may be the ones who have been fluffing their lines most consistently and damagingly of all in the last few days.

Calvary Episcopal's iconic Waffle Shop (fish pudding anyone?) celebrates 90th year
Things don't change much at the Waffle Shop, which this year celebrates its 90th year serving lunch during Lent in the basement of Calvary Episcopal Church in Downtown."People at the Waffle Shop know the Waffle Shop, and you can't mess with it," said Robyn Mauldin, Calvary's communications director.
The Waffle Shop opens Thursday, the day after Ash Wednesday, and runs Monday through Friday until March 22. The menu (think "fish pudding" and "tomato aspic") rarely varies. With a little pencil, you check off what you want on the menu, which is printed on a narrow sheet of paper. The lunches coincide with the Lenten Preaching Series, which features speakers such as Rev. Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and Rabbi Micah Greenstein, senior rabbi at Temple Israel.
"New" isn't a word used much at the Waffle Shop, but a couple of innovations will be added this year, including Waffle Shop After Dark, which will offer a short menu of food between 5:15 and 6:15 p.m. on Wednesdays; a speaker starts at 6:30 p.m.Calvary also will have a meditation room during lunch and the Wednesday night meal. A live simulcast of the speaker will play in the auditorium while people eat.
According to the now out-of-print cookbook "The Shrimp Mousse and other Waffle Shop Recipes," the Waffle Shop began in 1928 when Rosalie Rhett, some of her friends and Dr. Charles Blaisdell, who was the rector, decided to serve waffles and coffee to the men who attended church during Lent. They used Rhett's recipe for Hash House Waffles. More items were added over the years, and the Waffle Shop grew.
Including the volunteers doing the serving, the Waffle Shop averages a staff of about 40 people a day, Mauldin said.
There was a time when people worked their way up from the salad room or dessert room to the waffle station. The workers "had pearls on, heels, dressed to the nines," Mauldin said.
The menu has evolved slightly over the years. A 1956 menu lists a couple of items no longer offered: grapefruit and avocado pear, and almond toffee ice cream.
Waffle Shop switched from chocolate silk pie to chocolate fudge pie because everyone trying to make silk pie by following the recipe in the old Waffle Shop cookbook was "burning up their mixers at home," Mauldin said. "It required so much mixing, I think, the mixers were getting overheated or dying."
The price of menu items has evolved, too. This year fish pudding will cost $10. In 1956, it cost $1. The compostable/biodegradable to-go containers that Waffle Shop will be using this year account for part of the cost increase.
Fish pudding is the most popular item at the Waffle Shop, said kitchen manager Mary O'Brien. "Can you believe it?" she said. "Too bad they named it that."
People think fish pudding is going to be some kind of mousse, but it actually is a fish casserole.
Chicken giblets are the least popular item, O'Brien said.
Waffle Shop menu stalwarts better not taste or look different, she cautioned. That includes the peach-colored (from paprika) homemade mayonnaise, which comes with the tomato aspic and other items. "I had the mayonnaise off a shade, and people freaked," O'Brien said. "'That's not the color of the mayonnaise!' Apparently, it was too orange."
Calvary's new rector, Rev. Christopher D. Girata, who began working at the church last August, will eat his first Waffle Shop meal this year.
"I am not Southern, but I have family roots in North Carolina and Georgia," said Girata, 32, who was born in Lakeland, Fla. "It's not like I don't know Southern food, but a class of Southern food like tomato aspic and fish pudding, that has never entered my lexicon. I'm with you on pimento cheese. I've made my own mayonnaise, but things on here (the menu), I'm completely scared of and thrilled to try."
Even fish pudding? "The first time I heard fish pudding, I figured, 'There's a lot of gelatin in that.' I see a gelatin mold with fish floating in it. That's the image that came to my mind."
It was Girata's idea to add Waffle Shop After Dark (that title is supposed to be tongue in cheek, he said) and to create a room where people can eat and watch the speaker on a big screen at the same time.
"The rhythm of our lives has changed," he said. "For many people, it is simply too hard to come Downtown in the middle of a work day."
Calvary already does a Wednesday night program, so adding an hour for the Waffle Shop and then having the afternoon speaker again at night was a great way to attract more people, Girata said.
As for adding a room where people can eat and watch the preacher, he said, "In most series where we have Lenten preaching series, the lunch follows the sermon. So you cannot eat while the preacher is preaching. What most places do is have it so you can get in and out in an hour. Because Calvary's Waffle Shop is such a storied tradition and experience, there's no way we could shut down Waffle Shop during the preaching."
The best solution was for people to get their food, take it to the auditorium and watch the preacher on a big screen, Girata said. "We'll also loop that later, so all the people volunteering to put the Waffle Shop and preaching series together will hear the preacher. They'll all come upstairs with their food and watch."
Girata isn't through with his Waffle Shop tweaks. How about a drive-in Waffle Shop? "I'd love to have a drive-through. When I was in Birmingham, I expanded our Shrove Tuesday pancake supper to have a drive-through. A lot of people loved to support the program, but couldn't commit the time to coming and eating. I imagine there could be offices Downtown who'd love to get Waffle Shop once a week.
"And have online ordering. The whole menu online. Call by 11:30, and it'll be ready by noon. We've got this porte-cochere in back. You come down the alley. There's a door to the kitchen in the alley. We run food from the kitchen to the alley, and you take it back it to the office."
Don't start ordering online yet. "I figured that was a little much for this year, so we'll do that next year."

A couple of us are working on finding a way to surface key links to information in the MSDN library. Perhaps later we will also link to information found throughout the community websites. If we can find the right approach, we might canonize these categorize and links on the Learn page of the C# Dev Center.
Below you will see a work in progress outlining one possible way to start to surface this information, along with a proposed set of initial links to information about that the various proposed categorize. Hopefully you will find this information interesting in and of itself. However, I would before I work too hard on it, I would like to get feedback from you on the structure of this data and the tentative links included here. If you have any comments on what you see here, please take a moment to reply to this post with your thoughts.
I think the categories laid out here are fairly self explanatory. I would only point out that the work shown below merges two different approaches to categorizing the information on MSDN:
It is my thought that some developers will think in scenarios, and some in technologies, and some will think in one way or the other depending on the circumstances. The categorization shown below is to designed to accommodate developers from both schools of thought. But I don't mean to prejudice you by talking about what I've tried to do here. Just tell me what you think, if you have any impulse at all to provide feedback. At this stage, I'm not wedded to any of this, I'm just interested in hearing what you think. Thanks for whatever thoughts you might have on this subject.

The Buff-Bellied Hummingbird is the least studied of hummingbirds indigenous to the United States.
For unknown reasons, the Buff-bellied Hummingbird usually flies to the northeast from its breeding areas in the southern part of Texas. This movement is unique among North American hummingbirds.
Buff-Bellied Hummingbirds require a constant energy source (nectar) and protein source (insects).
The very high metabolism of Buff-Bellied hummingbirds is due to the incredible speed at which they flap their wings, continuously burning the food they have consumed for fuel.
After feeding from the nectar of flowers, the Buff-Bellied Hummingbirds carry pollen to other flowers.

was an okay novel and I liked it well enough. It's obvious
that Crossed is the second book of the trilogy because not
that much happens and it is used as a build up for the
final book. Unfortunately, this makes Crossed pretty
boring in terms of plot. I enjoyed the writing, but that
didn't make up for the lack of action. The book is also
split into two parts, which Ky and Cassia each taking
turns to narrate. I liked this a lot, especially when the
two were separated, because the reader could see what each
was doing. However, as soon as their stories intersect,
the double narration is annoying because I could never
tell you was actually talking. Despite the slow pace,
there were still enough twists and turns in Crossed to
make me want to read the last novel in the

This is a mediocre speech filled with clichés of the moment lifted from airport bookshelves.
[NYT] The New Senior Photos: The Wall Street Journal reports that the age of mediocre high school senior portraits is over.
1580s, from Middle French médiocre (16c.), from Latin mediocris "of middling height or state, moderate, ordinary," figuratively "mediocre, mean, inferior," originally "halfway up a mountain," from medius "middle" (see medial (adj.)) + ocris "jagged mountain" (cf. Greek okris "peak, point," Welsh ochr "corner, border," Latin acer "sharp;" see acrid). As a noun, "medicore thing or person," by 1834.
