Comments Thread For: Klitschko: Mormeck Picked After Everyone Else Said No
IBF/WBA/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko discussed the reasons behind the finalized fight with former cruiserweight champion Jean Marc Mormeck, who everyone views as a huge underdog. Wladimir defends his title against the 39-year-old Mormeck on March 3rd in Germany. Klitschko says his team attempted to approach Tyson Fury, Robert Helenius and Alexander Povetkin, but all three fighters turned him down for various reasons.

I was cool with mormeck in december because nobody else was ready or wanted to fight wladimir! but im not happy that wladimir will waste his time with mormeck in the new year! Even thompson who he has to fight anyway would be better choice to fight! But im glad vitali has a really good fight lined up in chisora! will be a fun fight till it lasts.

It's an awful matchup but, like Wlad says, who else is there? Helenius is terrible, Fury's nowhere near ready and Povetkin just won't fight him. Arreola or a rematch with Tony Thompson are the only others that spring to mind but are they really any better than Mormeck?

There are plenty of match ups for Wlad, however he will need to satisfy his WBO(arreola) and IBF(thompson) defenses next year if he does not want to lose his belts. Wlad also owes at least 2 performances(well, 4 for Klitschkos in total) to his german channels every fiscal year so I suppose Mormeck will do.

I would rather watch Wlad fight Liakovich than Mormeck, who lost to Fres Oquendo, Oquendo would be a better opponent for Wlad than Mormeck as well. I guess it has to happen though but id rather Wlad fight someone else in spring

fight your mandatories, Tony Thompson and Chris Arreola, instead of wasting time with Mormeck.
at least those fights are meaningful.

I'd like to see a fight vs Thompson again, was very entertaining the first time. The tiger even landed more punches (though weaker ones) than Wlad.

The recent Seth Mitchell TKO2 win over Ibragimov (his first career stoppage loss) puts Mormeck in a slightly better light IMO considering he decisioned him in 2010. Nobody would sniff if Mitchell was named as a K2 opponent after that display.

Brave Man Rescues Trapped Coyote
Spotting a wild animal in a precarious position brought out the best in one man.
Spotting a wild animal in a precarious position brought out the best in one man.
We've covered our fair share of some cute n' tiny animals. Mini horses, baby owls-- you name it, we're big fans. But this time around, we've scoped out something new and adorable and OMG we want them right now! Guys, it's tiny turtle time.
If you've ever had to take your dog to the vet to have quills removed from his face, you're probably not the biggest fan of porcupines. This could be the video that wins you back.
If you thought you couldn't handle the end of 'Homeward Bound' before, just wait til you watch this video.
It's no big secret that dogs will eat just about anything. But there's not much point in filming your canine chowing on kibble.
Are you having a rough week? Does the fact that it's not Friday yet make you want to ram your face through a plate glass window? Did you spend your morning commute grinding your teeth to keep from telling the person snapping their gum next to you that they don't deserve to be loved? Here, have some Calming Manatees.
This pretty much sums up the love/hate relationship all cat owners have with their pets. Specifically, we love them, and they hate us. This is the typical cat's reaction to its owner going on leave for six months
Ahhh, the ocean. So calm. So relaxing. So ABOUT TO BE EATEN BY ENORMOUS WHALES AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!! Thanks goodness these divers have friends to record their near-death experience, so that we can all watch this horrifying video. This is why we stay in the shallow water, where only sharks can get us. Good grief.
We'd probably think twice before letting our newborn roll around on the floor with a giant snake, or let our adorable pooches wrassle with an enormous tiger. But hey, that's just us.
We don't really have any friends—or, in this case, best friends—with strong opinions on windshield wipers.
We've come across a ton of cute stuff in our time, like baby owls and sleepy kiddos. But we're going out on a limb here and claiming our latest finds are among the most adorable. Guys, it's animals with their teddy bears. Aww, come on now!

Select Local Merchants
Sun-Surf Animal HospitalRead MoreAfter clients' appointments with their cats or dogs at Sun-Surf Animal Hospital, it's just a short trip to pick up prescriptions—there's a pharmacy in-house. But even if they don't need to make a pit stop for prescriptions, the hospital boasts other conveniences that may come in handy. For instance, its service list spans not only checkups, vaccinations, and bloodwork, but also dental exams, emergency care, and surgery. Plus, the hospital stays open until 8 p.m. on weeknights to accommodate working pet owners and welcomes patients from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.1507 Gulf BoulevardIndian Rocks Beach, FL US
Beach Groomers Pet Salon & BoutiqueRead MoreCrowned with a bright pink pompadour and sporting stenciled spots on its legs, another "creative grooming" client emerges from Beach Groomers Pet Salon & Boutique. Some of these sessions are inspired by trends in Japan, and they're not for the meek—they give dogs and cats a look as bold as football jerseys with comic sans font. The groomings are a special endeavor for owner Danielle Moyse, a dog owner herself whose core competency is traditional grooming services. Danielle can perform a standard bath and trim hair and nails, and she can add a spritz of cologne and tie a jaunty bandana around her canine or feline client's neck. She and her staff also pamper pets with spa treatments, such as facials that lift dirt and cupcake sprinkles embedded around mouths and sugar scrubs that exfoliate.17805 Gulf Blvd.Redington Shores, FL US
Royal Pets Market & ResortRead MoreSome customers choose from a colorful array of cookies, donuts, and other delectables on a tiered and crystal-encrusted dessert tray, while others relax and enjoy floor-to-ceiling murals of a picturesque countryside in the indoor dog park. None of them, however, happen to be human—such is the focus on luxury at Royal Pets Market & Resort, where boarding, grooming, training, and adoption services are overseen by an experienced staff. After pampering treatments such as aromatherapy baths or moisture-therapy wraps, dogs and cats can be outfitted from the wide selection of collars, foods, toys, and apparel in the expansive store.16010 Mapledale DriveTampa, FL US
Tampa Palms Animal HospitalRead MoreThe skilled staff—a veritable dream team of medical know-how—shepherds clients toward improved health by designing and leading custom weight-loss, nutrition, and fitness programs. Spread across four locations, the practice tailors comprehensive programs. Doctors, personal trainers, nutritionists, and artists who draw kettlebells onto clients' portraits to make them appear fit pool their disciplines to blast away excess pounds with methods birthed from the mind of science itself. Vitamin and amino-acid injections, ketone strips, appetite suppressants, and supplements are part of the weight loss program. Bio-identical hormones characterize the hormone-therapy program, which seeks to restore bodily balance more effectively than replacing legs with gyroscopes.15303 Amberly DrTampa, FL US
Spoil Me Dog SpaRead MoreWe are a full service grooming spa that takes pride in making each dog look its best. While your pet relaxes in our stress free enviroment, they will recieve only the best in services and products.

Got into the DOTA 2 Beta. I've never played DOTA. Wat do?
Like the title says, I've never played the original and submitted a request to join the beta out of curiosity more than anything. Are there any websites or tutorials that would help someone get their feet wet?
Re: Got into the DOTA 2 Beta. I've never played DOTA. Wat do?
Do like I did with Firefall: jump in head first without reading anything and look like an idiot asking people basic questions. :D
Re: Got into the DOTA 2 Beta. I've never played DOTA. Wat do?
Search for the guide (and I'm serious here): Welcome to Dota, You suck
DOTA has a pretty long learning curve, but is also the kind of game that you can play for years and never get sick of. Every game is a little different and there are so many heroes with their own strategies it would take a 1000 games just to try each hero and their potential 'builds'
Also, prepare for an onslaught of verbal abusing telling you how bad you are and that you are ruining the game. Par for the MOBA genre.

"Quicksands" on BBC Radio 4
Lucy Caldwell's new radio play "Quicksands", a drama about the slippery and shifting notions of truth and memory was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on December 8. It will be available on BBC iPlayer until early January. Click here to listen.
A young married couple, Tessa and James, hire a caravan for a week's holiday on the wind-swept Northern Irish coast with their two young children. It's make-or-break for their relationship: James is in love with someone else and wants a separation. Clambering over the sand dunes on the beach Tessa and the children get into difficulties and find themselves trapped in quicksand. When James realises what is happening to his family he turns and leaves them, running away. James insists he was running for help, but Tessa believes, has always believed, that James turned his back on his family and intended to leave them for dead. But just who is telling the truth?

Krone Milks Derby Pace for Sweet Return
The Hollywood Derby was Sweet Return's first graded stakes victory and his second win in in the United States. He earned $360,000 while improving his lifetime record to 3-3-4 in 14 starts with a career bankroll of $523,031. C S Tateson bred Sweet Return, who was produced by Sweet Revival (by Claude Monet).Solis was disappointed that Fairly Ransom, who was gobbling up ground in the stretch after being held in reserve for the first mile, couldn't get to the wire in time."This is one hell of a good horse," he said of the 3-year-old grey/roan. "I think you will see more from him next year."Sweet Return paid $35.40, $11.80 and $5.40. Fairly Ransom returned $5.40 and $3.80. Kicken Kris' show was $3.40. The all-McAnally $2 exacta was worth $191.Secretariat (gr.

BMW R60/6 - Clutch and other advice
A few questions for all you knowledgeable airheads out there.
The first is clutch related-
So, I just took a 1300 mile trip two up with luggage on my 1974 BMW R60/6 and learned a little bit about my bike along the way.
Section 1:
Anyway, at some point during a week long trip the clutch started acting up in the following manner. I would start the bike in the morning and find that the clutch would chirp when engaged and while being slowly released in first gear. First gear would engage and as I released the clutch the bike would start moving as normal. Before reaching the maximum RPM for first gear I would be able to rev the bike and the power would not transfer into motion and a loud chirp would be heard. The same thing would happen in second gear and possibly third. I could hear the engine revving but the clutch would just (I suspect) slip. After about 10 minutes of riding, the clutch would engage and disengage normally without acting up and I was able to ride all day without seeing those symptoms again.
At a certain point towards the end of the trip while on the highway I attempted to downshift from 5th to 4th (perhaps while going slightly too fast for that change and under load) and the chirp returned full force and the bike lost all power to the wheel- After frantically shifting up and down for a long 10 seconds I regained power in 4th gear and shifted back to 5th and kept riding.
After finally getting home a week later I notice that now when I squeeze the clutch (even in neutral I believe) a very tiny squeal (less pronounced than the loud chirp) is heard. Believe it or not the bike still runs and shifts well throughout all of this.
Also of note- there is lots of dust in the timing window which my mechanic mentioned to me meant I likely needed a new clutch soon. Also notable is that the bike has a newly rebuilt transmission by a very reputable NYC BMW guru so I think the gearbox is good- and it shifts very well.
So my questions are- A: What's wrong exactly? Plates or throwout bearing? Both? I'm prepared to replace the clutch which I believe is likely but what specifically has failed/is failing? B: Anyone have a good site for purchasing clutch parts? C: How difficult is a clutch job? I've just recently done a timing chain and alternator on a friend's R80 with success so I feel fairly handy but I have no clutch experience. I own a clymers...
Section 2:
My R60/6 is very pingy at certain RPMs (especially under load)- Probably about 2500 rpms- I'm not sure exactly because I have an acewell speedo that doesn't indicate true RPM since it's an induction wire at the coil.
Also the bike has an electronic ignition (DYNA) that was installed prior to my ownership- I have read that this unit may advance the timing too much and thus cause pinging (and it's not adjustable?)
Compression tests show that the bike has about 170 PSI at each head which is a little high- Carbon build up?
I have not actually checked the timing because I didn't own a light- though I do now and intend to check it this weekend- though I don't think I can actually adjust it.
So, what are the likely causes and what are the easiest fixes? Does the Boyer Brandsen unit offer adjustability if I were to change out the electronic ignition? Would I be better off with points?
Section 3:
Lastly, my bike consumed quite a bit of oil on this trip - Approximately 1 liter/ 800 miles- Smoke blows out the right pipe more than the left intermittently- I think mostly at higher RPMS in each gear. I think this one is more obvious but what is the cause in your opinion?
Bike has 70,000 miles on it roughly.
Thanks in advance for all of your responses- I intend to work on the bike regardless of the problems as I really, really like it.

Here is my $.02...
-Sounds like it's time for a new clutch. I think conventional wisdom is to replace all the parts together but you might get different opinions. DIY? Sure!
-It also sounds like the top-end needs attention. Carbon build-up could be causing the pinging and high compression but keep in mind these bikes have a tendency to ping even when everything is squeaky clean. Oil consumption and smoke could indicate you need new rings. Not a difficult job.
-The Dyna is a good unit and yes, you can adjust the timing. Just rotate the sensor plate.
-My experience with pinging is that you need to change the advance curve to make it go away. The Dyna uses the stock advance unit so you have to make modifications to it. First, I would make sure you have the thicker springs. If that doesn't do it, there are these little brass collars you can get (don't ask me where) that fit around the the posts that hold the advance springs. They supposedly retard the advance curve 5 degrees. I got a set with a used advance unit I purchased and they worked like a charm. No more pinging!
Good luck and keep us posted!
PS A lot of people snub their nose at our little R60/6's but, like you, I have a soft spot for mine. It was my first "real" bike and I plan to hold on to it for a long time. It took me a while to get it all sorted but now it puts a smile on my face every time I get on it.

The amount of use you seem to be getting out of this old girl I think she deserves the entire clutch job. Yes this is the way it is recommended by those in the know. There are two pressure plates, the clutch disk and the spring. You should also pay attention to the condition of the bolts that hold everything together. Some of them do not have to be changed and some do. If any of them look or thread in ruff, even if there is not a recommendation to change them do so anyway, if they are damaged, etc, etc.
There is a cheaper alternative. You send the clutch parts you now have to Southland Clutch and they will machine the surfaces so you don't have to buy all new parts. The Southland Clutch works as a regular BMW clutch but the parts they give you back can not be mixed with regular clutch parts. This is also kinda new but not that new. I've not seen any reports yet that the Southland Clutch doesn't last as long or anything else. So far all reports are from happy customers.
If you take this to a shop they are finished in one or two days. If a Do It Yourselfer does this at home it is usually anywhere from several days to all Winter. Mine took all Winter this past year and I pretty much know what I'm doing, I'm just slow sometimes. And I found several problems. Since I had the trans out and was doing the clutch I also did the rear engine seal and the oil pump O-ring. That is something extra to consider. Because the majority of doing that job is already taken care of, getting the trans out.
Here's the Southland Site;
That saves about 50% over dealer prices I think. There are cheaper places to buy parts but I imagine they will save only 10 or 15 %

It sounds to me like the throw-out bearing is hanging up in the bore. It slides in a bore in the transmission rear cover and sometimes gets deformed. Not sure why, maybe wasn't getting the lube it should have. Whatever, once it gets rough and hogged out in there, it's possible for the throwout bearing to hang up in there.
That would be my guess. And it's easy enough to check out, but may require tilting the engine to miss the frame cross bar when attempting removal of the rod and bearing.
Who knows about the clutch? It may last a thousand more miles or 40 thousand. No way to tell at this point, but clutches don't not work for a while and then sort themselves out all by their lonesome. I don't suspect the clutch at all!
170 lbs compression is pretty good, but combined with the oil consumption, it's quite possible the rings are glued to the pistons. Maybe a de-coking will fix both issues, consumption and pinging.

I wouldn't have thought of the throw-out bore being sloppy if I hadn't seen it in a transmission cover that needed fixing. The machine shop bored it out and shimmed with brass. It's much stronger the second time around!

Good clues
Thanks for all the advice. I was thinking that there might be an issue with that throwout bearing but does that account for the loss of power? It definitely would account for the squeal according to what I've read elsewhere. What about all the dust in the timing window? Is that from wear on the friction plate?
As far as the pinging goes- is the consensus to decarbonize the heads and see the results first? Wirespokes- I think you may be right about the rings- maybe it just needs cleaning - maybe they would have to be replaced.
Photorider, thanks for clarifying about the DYNA... I can adjust the timing just by rotating the plate (if it's off) but what I really may need to adjust is the actual advance curve of the unit which would require thicker springs or brass collars? Does anybody know of a thread or other resource that might give me some clues on how to modify the DYNA?
Really appreciate all your thoughts on this so far and I will keep you updated as I deconstruct!

Clutch gone
So after another ride, the clutch failed completely on the way home. I could hear some light scraping and then suddenly no clutch.
The bike has already been torn down and is sitting in my shop without a transmission or clutch in place. So upon inspecting all of the clutch parts I found essentially that everything was worn but I didn't notice any catastrophic damage of any kind. My stupid question is, what separates a worn clutch from one that doesn't work at all? I am about to replace all of the components but I just want to be sure I'm not missing something.
By the way, I would say the friction plate is worn to about 1/2 the thickness of the new unused replacement I have.
Also I haven't investigated the throwout bearing yet but will do now that I have the tranny out.
Last thing, what paste should I use where appropriate or assembly? I was planning on hondamoly60 for the splines and the tips of the spring. Anything else? Snobum says to use a light non moly grease for a few other parts including the throwout bearing...

It doesn't always happen, but since it's the cheapest of the 4 parts, it's a good idea.

Exactly what Wire^1 says, probably the throwout bearing as well as worn clutch components. Replace the cable unless it's silky-smooth and looks cherry.
Also what Wire^2 says. The diaphragm spring may be good today, but may give up the ghost in 5-, 10- or 15,000 miles. Replace with new.
Fix the clutch now since it is a known issue and be prepared to tackle other issues as they crop up.

Check the throw out piece's now. That three of us that have told you this.
You take the throw out arm of the rear of the trans, all the parts can be extracted with a needle nose pliers and sometimes a magnet. Refer to the parts diagram on http://realoem.com/bmw/ to see, make sure, you got them all out.
The long rod comes out the front easier.

Thanks all. I am replacing all four of the clutch components and I already have a new throwout bearing (needle cage?) ready to go if necessary. I will pull that apart on Thursday and start the reassembly. Does anyone have any thoughts about the grease though? Besides HondaMoly60 for the splines and tips of the spring what grease should I use for the throwout bearing for example?

The Honda Moly 60 grease is the current recommendation for the input splines. It doesn't seem to do much better than some of the other things we have used through the years but it does have the Molybdenum that we like. In theory what this is is a high pressure grease that works with the pressures seen by those splines. There are those that would have you believe it does no good. I say it does no harm and it may in fact be of benefit. So use it.
The application is extremely important. Put the grease only on the input shaft itself and not on the splines of the clutch disk. When the two parts mate, that is when the trans is bolted to the rear of the engine, any excess grease will be pushed rearward if this excess is on the input shaft. Because of clearance and design features a little excess grease here will do no harm. However...if you put grease on the internal splines of the clutch disk it will be pushed forward where from it will be thrown by centrifugal force outward and onto the clutch disk.
You are also advised to use a very tiny amount of grease. Just enough to coat the splines but not to fill the valleys in the splines.
I don't know if Honda Moly 60 is suitable for the other parts. I think not. I use my ordinary wheel bearing grease for anything else. Like the thrust pieces and the pressure plate fingers. Wheel bearing grease is not expensive. They sell a really high quality one at motorcycle shops all over. The expensive one is still only $10 for the tub. This much grease should last most riders 20 years or more. Be careful to not get dirt or debris in the tub. I have a smaller canister I keep with the tools on my bike.
The grease on the throw out bearing and parts is for start up and run in only. The trans drips a small amount of trans fluid on these parts to lube them in operation. If the trans was run low on fluid or the orifice got plugged somehow it could be the reason for destruction of the bearing and/or thrust pieces. If the bearing goes bad, i.e. the bearing you have not removed yet (?), the rear cover may need to be replaced or machined to put it back in spec. A bad throw out bearing will take other things with it when it goes.
The long rod is best removed and replaced through the front of the trans. If the felt seal on the rod looks in good shape, they usually are, then forgo a new one and use the old one. New ones are improperly sized and difficult to put on.

I recommend you replace that bearing no mater how good the old one looks. The design is not a good one. Your only defense is a new bearing. Throw the old one away.

Charlie - I'm ashamed to report I just removed and cleaned and greased my chirping throwout bearing (crappy flat needle bearing style) the other day. I forget when I first installed it...might've been as much as 50K miles ago. It came out pretty dry but my thrust washer and piston didn't seem worn so I cleaned the cheap throwout bearing up, made sure all the little needles were rotateable, and greased it with my blue waterproof grease and reinstalled, using a little Honda Moly on the thrust bearing surface. Result? Chirp gone, shifting smoother (this is the same effect you get when you wash your car and it runs better). I'll be giving it a good run to NH in October and expect it to explode somewhere near Lake Winnie.

I received this message today when I tried to connect my Pogo Connect to my iPad (4Gen):
"Pogo Connect support will return in a future Paper release."?
Pressure support is important to me and having it pulled out without explanation is frustrating.
Hi Robb,
We apologize for the inconvenience. Some work had to be done to part of Paper that affected Pogo Connect. We expect to restore support in the next update, which we are working on now. We included a warning in the update notes, but we understand that it's easy to miss those.
In the next update. We do not have an estimated date.
Hi Lev and Gerald,
It wasn't a choice we were glad to make. Fortunately it should be restored very soon. The work to restore Pogo Support has already been finished and will be in the next update. We just need to finish a few more bug fixes and then we'll be ready to ship the release. I just want to reassure you that we've already managed to restore Pogo support, so you will not have to wait long.
Lev, yes you will need to update to the most recent version of Paper to use Pencil. You could do that now and regain Pogo support very soon, or you could wait for the update.
Gerald, blending with the finger and palm detection require distinguishing between the finger and the stylus. Pencil was built to be able to do this, but Pogo Connect was not. We might be able to find a way to make blend more widely available, but I just wanted to explain why it's not possible to do it the same way for Pogo as it is for Pencil. Likewise for smart pairing. We designed and built Pencil specifically to be able to do this. Pogo Connect was not designed or built for it.
Michael, Pogo Support will be back very soon. We've completed the work to restore support and are testing the release for stability before sending it to Apple.
Ron, the last I heard was that support on the iPad Air was impossible. If they've found a way to fix it, I haven't heard about that yet.
Jay, we apologize for the confusion. How do you think it could have been better communicated? I don't think a global notification in the app would have been appropriate, because Pogo Connect is not widely used with Paper. What would be a better way to reach people?
I think it's very complicated. The new version is being reviewed by Apple and will be out soon.
Please download the new update for restored Pogo Connect support. Sorry for the lapse in support.
Note: Pogo Connect and Pencil cannot be connected at the same time.
No changes were made to that. We never got that working to our satisfaction.
To my knowledge it's available in the most recent version.
Hi Carton,
I replied to your post on the other thread.
Thanks, Marc.
Hi dan,
That would be your decision. I will say that Pogo issues are generally low priority here, because only a very small amount of Paper users are using the Pogo stylus. When priorities are set, we try to work on things that affect most users.
We've been updating Paper pretty frequently these past few months.
Currently, you can find grid templates on our sharing service, Mix. They are not a separate layer, but should be helpful to people.
Pogo support has been discontinued due to the low usage rates.

When we walked into the dining room of Entretapas, the romantic strumming of a Spanish guitar filled the room. We breathed in the savory aromas of sizzling garlic, sausage and onions. And like clusters of other customers, waited for a table on a busy Friday night.
Since it opened two months ago, the restaurant has been a hot spot in Weston, where nearly half the residents are Hispanic. We had a 30-minute wait (a bar or overflow area would have been welcome), but were seated right away when we returned before 7pm on a Saturday. (The pace picks up after the music starts, about 8pm Thursday through Saturday.)
Entretapas specializes in tapas and paella, with an extensive menu of more than 50 dishes. Owner Tomas Vazquez, originally from Ciudad Real in central Spain, offers authentic dishes like huevos rotos con patatas (fried eggs with Spanish-style potato chips), pollo al ajillo (chicken in garlic sauce) and the Madrid favorite of soldaditos de pavia (battered and fried strips of salt cod). Spanish wines, ham, cheese, sausage and other imports are sold at retail. A terrific value: Buy a wine off the shelf (starting at $10.90 for a Tio de la Bota), and pay a $5 corkage fee at the table. Spanish house wines offered by the glass include tempranillo, rueda and riberio plus a full-bodied, house-made sangria with lots of fresh oranges and apples.
Ambience: Despite its strip mall location, the place has a classy vibe, its contemporary decor brightened by deep blue tile accents and colorful prints and paintings (for sale).

Is there a downloadable extension template available? That would really help would-be extension authors... --Maian 03:07, 9 October 2005 (PDT)

Could someone elaborate a little more on what this means? "window is the localName value of the root element of the XUL document..." Where else, for example, does the corresponding word window also appear? I don't see how it is chosen. --Randomandy 06:00, 2005 October 11 (PDT)
- It means the part of the tagname excluding the namespace prefix (if it exists) of the document's root element. So if you have some document that looks like <?xml version="1.0"?><xul:dialog xmlns:xul="(xul namespace)">...</xul:dialog>, dialog would be the localName of the root element. If it were just <dialog>...</dialog>, the localName would still be dialog. At least, that's what I think it's saying. I'm not familiar with XUL. --Maian 06:43, 11 October 2005 (PDT)

''Kristeva's depiction of contrariety and anomaly at the heart of postmodernist theory is ingenious, provocative, and challenging.'' -- Contemporary Literature
Kristeva, Julia : University de Paris VII Julia Kristeva, internationally known psychoanalyst and critic, is Professor of Linguistics at the University de Paris VII. She has hosted a French television series and is the author of many critically acclaimed books published by Columbia University Press in translation, including Time and Sense: Proust and the Experience of Literature and the novel, Possessions.
"Kristeva's depiction of contrariety and anomaly at the heart of postmodernist theory is ingenious, provocative, and challenging."
--Contemporary Literature
"Kristeva changes the place of things: she always destroys the latest preconception, the one we thought we could be comforted by, the one of which we could be proud; what she displaces in the illusion that it has all been said already, that is, she removes the pressure of the signifiedin a word, stupidity; what she subverts is authoritythat of monological science, of filiation."
--Roland Barthes
Columbia University Press Web Site, May, 2000

Nissan Recalls
Nissan is recalling seat belts on 1997 Altimas because certain buckle assemblies were produced with a "buckle base" that was improperly heat treated, which may cause the "buckle base" to be brittle. The seat belts may not restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Dealers will inspect and replace the buckle assemblies.
Nissan has recalled 1990-1994 Maxima and 1990-1992 Stanza models because a mixture of mud and salt may get trapped between the fuel filler tube and wheel housing, which can cause corrosion. This can lead to fuel leakage and a possible fire. Also, the left rear seat belt retractor is mounted to the wheel housing, and in the event of significant corrosion, the mounting could fail in a vehicle crash. Dealers will inspect these vehicles and corrective action will be taken depending upon the extent of the corrosion.

There was absolutely no pressure on Fernando Alonso over the weekend. After all, what's a 'Monza' when it's at home?
Well, turns out it's quite important to a few Italians. In fact, very important. If you watched the weekend's GP, you'll no doubt have seen hundreds of thousands of Ferrari nutters dressed in red and baying for a podium finish. What with all this expectation heaped onto his generous thumbs, you'd forgive the mono-browed Spaniard for wanting a time-out before the race.
Fortunately, someone at Ferrari handed him the keys to the new 458 Spider before the race kicked off to let him unwind. Even more fortunately, someone handed the sound editing to the 570bhp 4.5-litre V8. This was a good move.
Gallery: the new Ferrari 458 Spider
The pre-race routine obviously worked, as anyone who saw Alonso's breath-taking start yesterday will testify. And don't forget the 458 Spider will get its public unveil at the Frankfurt motor show tomorrow, so check back with us more information and live updates.

Last year the Mets had a nice big celebration for the 50th anniversary of the franchise. This included not one, but two All-Time Team "lists" being generated. The first being the 50 Greatest Mets in Team History, and the second was an All-Time Team, selected from various candidates by a panel of Met experts (writers, broadcasters, etc). The last time, and the first time really, this undertaking was done was in 2002, for the 40th anniversary. And it would be just an All-Time Team, but done through fan balloting, done both online at Mets.com and at Shea Stadium (fans would get rewarded with a special pack of Fleer baseball cards at the unveiling of the team prior to a game later in the season). So, it would be interesting to see how a decade and a different, and some might argue better in terms of comprehending the task given to them, voting base changed feelings about the Mets' All-Time Squad; Starting with the skipper, the ballots for Manager remained unchanged with Gil Hodges, ...

He received his name from the woman who raised him in her bathtub. Now he seems happy to have a more natural environment to satisfy his curiosity. Nevertheless, he has kept his fondness for humans.
Most of the animals in the Salisbury Zoo are from North, Central and South America. "We have llamas, bison, bobcats, jaguars, alligators and the two oldest known spectacled bears," says Jim Rapp, the zoo director. Soon, the list will expand. The zoo is in the process of buying penguins, tapirs and kangaroos. Some enclosures will be enlarged, and the animal-service area improved.
In May, the Salisbury Zoo will celebrate its 50th birthday with a black-tie gala.
"It all started in the '50s when people dropped off animals in the City Park -- birds, deer, even a black bear," Rapp says. Cages were set up, and in the '60s a zoo commission was founded. Out of an ordinary park grew an extraordinary little zoo. The Wicomico River surrounds the woody 13-acre zoo. This setting creates a relaxing atmosphere and increases the intimacy between visitors and animals.
You might lose your fear of snakes by holding and petting the surprisingly soft skin of a ball python or a boa constrictor in the Education Animal Facility. For more information, or to schedule a tour, call 410-548-3188. The Salisbury Zoo is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.
A different experience awaits animal lovers in The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art (909 S. Schumaker Drive, 410-742-4988 or www.wardmuseum.org). In five galleries, a unique North American art form is on display: wildfowl carvings. The first gallery provides the background of this ancient craft, started by Native Americans. The museum is named for Lem and Steve Ward, Crisfield brothers who helped elevate decoy-carving to an art form.
"During the beginning of the American settlement, decoys were not necessary. People just used a shotgun," says Sam Dyke, director of the museum. "But decoys came in handy when waterfowl was first used for commercial hunting in the 1840s and 1850s."
Most of those early decoys were small. An exception is a huge wooden duck from New England, now sitting peacefully in its showcase, greeting visitors.
Today, wildfowl art focuses more on carving artistic decorative pieces. The work of two 2003 Ward World Champions, Larry Barth of Stahlstown, Pa., and Jason Lucio of Auburn, Ontario, are on view here.
"Just look how artistic wildfowl carving has become," Dyke says. Lucio depicts a pair of smews peacefully swimming next to one another. Barth portrays a red-billed tropicbird with very long and elegant feathers rising to the sky. The bird's red bill is open while his black eyes seem to watch visitors. Even up close, the feathers seem to be soft and almost weightless, but they are carved out of one piece of wood.
These and other pieces are on display Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is $7. Stop by the Chamber Office (144 E. Main St., 410-749-0144) and get museum tickets for $3. Don't miss the new observation gallery at the Ward Museum. You might see a bald eagle fly by.
Cactus Taverna (2420 N. Salisbury Blvd., 410-548-1254): You don't have to worry about parking at this Mexican restaurant: Cactus Taverna has its own parking lot.
The Bagel Bakery (1006 S. Salisbury Blvd., 410-543-824): A healthy alternative -- try a breakfast wrap, a salad or a vegetarian sandwich.
The Country House (805 E. Main St., 410-749-1959): The store is filled with wooden furniture, quilts, pottery, florals, linen, birdhouses and collectibles.
Market Street Antiques & Collectibles (150 W. Market St., 410-749-4111): Three floors of wares from different dealers include art deco, fountain pens, coins, jewelry, books and prints, and a taxidermist.
Aesop's Table (124 N. Division St., 410-546-4471): In need of a coffee but not finished looking for antiques? Take a break here.

Blackmailers try to black out Million Dollar Homepage

Yahoo to run multimedia adsOctober 1, 2002
The Million Dollar Homepage site is battling back a DoS onslaught that has escalated since it began last week, its owner and the site operator said Wednesday. The site, which successfully raised $1 million by selling ad space for $1 per pixel, was launched by British student Alex Tew and gained notoriety for its unique approach to online advertising.
"I can confirm that MillionDollarHomepage.com has been subjected to a distributed denial-of-service attack by malicious hackers, who have caused the site to be extremely slow loading or completely unavailable since last Thursday," Tew stated on his blog.
The blackmailers have demanded a ransom of $50,000, said Russell Weiss, vice president of technical services at InfoRelay, which operates the site.
In a denial-of-service attack, miscreants typically flood a Web server with false requests for information, overwhelming the system and ultimately crashing it.
Attack-related "traffic on the site was sporadic last Wednesday night, but it was significant by Thursday, and it's continued to escalate," Weiss said. "Our third-party analysis has indicated 22,000 to 23,000 hosts are attacking the site, but that's probably underestimated."
As InfoRelay increased the site's resources to battle the DoS attack, the extortionists upped their attack, Weiss said. He said, however, that the site should have a permanent solution to the problem in place within the next few days. The site was online on Wednesday morning.
Tew and InfoRelay are working with the FBI on the case, Weiss added. "There are clues that a Russian group may be involved, but we'll leave that assessment up to the FBI," he said.
Security experts noted that while extortion-based DoS attacks are becoming more common, they usually target e-commerce companies or online gambling sites that stand to lose money for every second their site is down.
"The Million Dollar Homepage can be down for days and it's not as critical, but these attackers knew he had money and went after him," said Mikko Hypponen, the chief research officer at IT security company F-Secure.
InfoRelay has instructed Tew to forgo payment to the extortionists, Weiss said.
"He has been pretty calm throughout the whole time, but he's anxious to get the site under control and deliver what he promised to his customers," he noted.

- What a bunch of jealous cowards.
- See, that's what's wrong with some people. They see someone who came up with a brilliant idea on how to, legitimally, make money. Now, these jealous cowards, for lack of better word, come to attack and destroy it.
People who get into this extortion practices should get castrated and have them fed to the lions.

- Why?
- What makes him a fraud? He has no integrity because he was able to make $1 million after dropping out of school? Do you have any idea how many people have dropped out of school to make their fortune? And do you have any clue how many of them used their new money to go back to school? On what basis do you declare this man a fraud and lacking in integrity?
And... if you were one of his advertisers, I'm sure your law suit would be thrown out. Have you ever read a contract governing online services?
Why do you immediately attack the victim of hackers? Do you feel that these hackers are providing a valuable service? That they have some right to spread virii and control people's computers to launch DoS attacks against those you don't like? Should we DDoS attack every person who dropped out of college?

- It's a good idea, but really the page sucks
- I agree that it was a great idea, he did make a lot of money from it; but it really doesn't look like a business model that will last, At least not without a few changes.
The amount of business only happens in bursts. Right now there are only a few thousand pixels left. All the ads that are currently up will not expire for about five years. That means he is not going to get any more business for five years. Nothing "new" will be on the page for five years. The page will be very out of date by that time. Without new content, people won't be visiting the page in five years.
In fact, there actually is nothing to keep people comming back for more. There is no reason anybody would view the page more than once, to see what the deal is.
I like to be informed as much as the next guy, so I do apreciate some level of advertising, however I completely dispise advertisiments (and anyone displaying them,) which are "sleezy." The MillionDollarHomepage is filled with this stuff. Maybe you need an example, here is a banner that reads "SEX." I click on the ad and up pops a web page claiming that they will "pay me to browse the internet and more if I refer my friends to do the same." Here's another one, get a free iPod, all you have to do is sign up for a few trial subscriptions to things you don't want.
This page will never really be a succes until these shortfalls are dealt with.

- Do the numbers
- Think about it for a minute. The guy was able to sell 999,000 pixels without much publicity, but somehow, now he actually gets publicity, can't seem to move the last thousand or so in two weeks?
My guess is that "sold" might not exactly mean "sold"...

- If he didn't sell 990,000 pixels or however many, where did all the pages he linked to come from? What would the point
I'm very jealous, Its rare that something comes along to generate this much publicity and this kind of potential profit for someone.
Instead of talking about how he didn't do it or how hes making it up, why not think of your own idea. Like that guy who sold the Wedding dress on Ebay. Made a few bucks and got on TV.

- Good News... Bad News...
- The good news is you can make a million dollars in less than a year. The bad news is you can also make a good target of criminals in the same year.
The good news is the kid's a millionare. The bad news is a lot of people are jealous and envious they attack the kid's million dollar idea with ideas of their own... ideas that never proved to be worth a dollar.
The good news is the kid's new idea of advertising online by selling/buying pixels. The bad news is someone's already capitalizing on it: http://www.milliondollarscript.com/ -- dunno if the kid's related to this outfit...

- Web Traffic
- Could the enormous amount of web traffic generated by getting mentioned on these websites be tied to some of these thousands of DoS attacking hosts?
TechDirt, Cnet, and Digg have all been known to bring down a page by bringing their web traffic up by huge amounts.

text: Lay the two slices of rye bread on a cutting or sandwich board. Butter one side of each slice. Put the buttered side down in a skillet, and grill that side of the bread. Bring the two slices of bread back to the cutting board, and place them, grilled side up. Spread one of the pieces with 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard or 1 tablespoon of thousand Island dressing. Top with about 2 tablespoons of drained sauerkraut, 3 slices of shaved corned beef, and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. Put the other slice of bread on top, grilled side down. Now, butter the top, and place it, buttered side down, in the skillet. Butter the top side. Grill the sandwich slowly in the skillet, turning once. You can tell when the sandwich is properly grilled--when the Swiss cheese begins to melt and run a bit, and the top and bottom are both crusty and brown. Remove the Rueben sandwich from the skillet, and place it on the cutting board. Slice, somewhat diagonally--not quite corner to corner. Serve with bread and butter pickles for a delightful meal! Almost everyone love Rueben sandwiches!!!!
