McFarland Leads and Bushey Earns Career High

KEUKA PARK, NY – Dan McFarland's 19 points and double eight assists and rebounds complemented the balanced Hawk scoring as Hilbert took a 73-66 road non-conference victory over Keuka College November 26. Teddy Tuggles' 15 points led three Storm players in double figures as Keuka droped to 0-4 this fall.
Hilbert (4-1) opened the game with a 10-2 run, including back-to-back three point baskets by Isaac Bushey but Keuka found a way to tie the game at 11:37. After a Hilbert timeout, the Hawk rookies began to fill the stat sheet. Jerame Owens responded with a lay-up that was followed by Nick Nadeau's good three-pointer. The same pattern occurred again, with an Owens' bunny shot and a long distance bomb by Nadeau before Owens dialed-up a long ball himself and then watched CJ Hodge score a layup on the next possession. Hilbert held a 10-point lead at half.
Over a five-second span early in the second half, Bushey stuffed back-to-back layups which gave the visitors a 48-33 lead that they road to the final horn. McFarland finished the last 1:10 of the game hitting five of six shots at the charity stripe assuring Hilbert the win.
Earning a career-high 12 points, Bushey finished the game shooting four of nine and two of five behind the arc. Anthony Hodge chipped in nine points (three steals) while Trevor Stark and Owens each added seven points. Nadeau finished shooting two of three all from deep and Mike Jones was perfect from inside the paint hitting all three attempts.
Casey Williams netted 14 and Tyler Hixson netted in 11 points for the Storm on their home court.
Up next for Hilbert is an important AMCC contest against cross-town rival, D'Youville College November 28. The Hawks and Spartans tip-it close to 8pm after the women's opening game with a start time of 6pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities.

BOONVILLE - Makayla Dimmette has emerged as a leader on the pitch for a young, inexperienced Lady Elks squad.
In a season with two hat tricks, the sophomore undoubtedly made her biggest impact of the year Friday night in a physical rivalry game with Starmount.
After seeing her team surrender a two-goal lead in the final 10 minutes of the second half, Dimmette came to the rescue.
With the game knotted at 3-3 in the second overtime period, the sophomore received a long outlet pass from Carrie Brown and broke free on a breakaway. Dimmette fired a rocket past the Starmount keeper for the thrilling game-winner.
"It was a great feed by Carrie Brown. They had a clear-out, and I told them to make sure they had a good, positive touch on the ball - positive touch toward their goal, not behind us - and Carrie played a fantastic through ball to her and Makayla finished," Elkin head coach Heath Foster said. "We had three or four opportunities on breakaways tonight that we didn't capitalize on, but we did when it ultimately mattered, so I can't complain."
Dimmette's goal, which completed her third hat trick of the season, saved Elkin from a devastating defeat, which it lead 3-1 with just 9:09 to play.
Captain Francisca Garcia played hero for the Rams, finding the back of the net twice in a four-minute span to bring Starmount even at 3-3, sending the game to overtime.
Following Garcia's heroics, Foster huddled his team and simply told them it was "gut-check time."
"I told them that it was a gut-check in overtime," he said, hoarse from screaming. "I played 11 girls the whole night and I told them 'I know you're tired and beat, but this is a gut-check; you have to figure out how bad you want it.'
"This was a big game for us in the 1A standings, and we produced."
Elkin jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first half, getting two goals by Dimmette and one by Deyonna Gonzales, to grab a comfortable advantage. But the Rams struck for a goal with 38 seconds left in the opening half, grabbing momentum heading into the break.
"We let them score 38 seconds before halftime, and that's the worst thing you can do, especially only up three goals. We had 15 to 17 shots in the first half, but we just had trouble putting it where we needed to put it," Foster said. "I don't think the game should have been as close as it did, but Starmount came out rolling in the second half and we came out flat.
"I'm happy to win - it's not how I wanted to win, but I'll take it," he added.
Elkin improved to 6-5 in Mountain Valley Conference action with the win to keep pace in the race for the 1A title. West Wilkes (6-4) holds the top spot.
Starmount fell to 3-6 with the loss.

Loved that it had gifts to keep as well as food and wine, plus great assortment. Not sure of the quality of the wine as she hasn't opened them yet, so cannot attest to that, but it made for a wonderful presentation and she was very happy receiving it.

This was the second time I received a gift from Wine Country. The wine corks were dried out and very difficult to get out of the bottles. Felt that for the money that was spent the amount was way too much for a bunch of crackers and a couple of candies. Inquired about returning but it would have cost me over $40 to do so. I felt the same when I received the Happy Birthday Basket. Sorry, but not a fan.

UR and Mile 81.
Mile 81. Not purchases but won a signed copy of Liseys Story and a signed copy of Stephen King Companion from Rocky woods. Waiting patiently for the mailman to deliver them now.
I picked up Christine at the swap shop at the town dump for FREE!!
Occasionally I window shop at Half.com for sK books. Usually I find the windows have no glass and I can reach in and have the books! Sure, pay a little money (very little in my case, I insist), but the trade is fantastic! I did this once again the other day. I like to have extra copies to give as gifts, and even rarely find something I don't already have.
Just bought Mile 81 a few days ago for my Nook. Awesome story, but ended too soon. Me want more Mile 81!!!!
Just bought nine hardcovers, including Insomnia, Dolores Claiborne and Bag of Bones.

More like a cranberry than a burgundy, I would say. I like the shimmer as it makes the consistency very creamy and easy to work with. It does not crease on my eyelids and does not migrate either. AWESOME for fall look or plum/red smoky eye!

What initially attracted me to this product was the color; I absolutely LOVE burgundies! This product isn't bad, but it isn't anything crazy or ground-breaking. I have oily eyelids, and this product has creased on me without a shadow over it, so I would recommend using this product as a base. The other problem this product has is the color payoff. It comes off really sheer when you initially put it on. It can be built up, but it will take time. Overall, this is an okay product.

Pomegranate Punk is a darkened red-burgundy with a shimmery finish. It has good color payoff and a creamy consistency. It's similar to Benefit Stiletto. It's slightly less red compared to MAC Idyllic. MAC Artifact seems similar, too, perhaps browner.

Exercise Physiology
Exercise Physiology Program Goals
1. To utilize knowledge, skills, and abilities to evaluate risk factors and implement exercise prescriptions for individuals who are apparently healthy, at moderate risk, or who have known disease.
2. To utilize knowledge, skills, and abilities to conduct and evaluate exercise and fitness assessments.
3. To prepare undergraduate Exercise Physiology students for entry level exercise physiology professions and related allied health fields or graduate level education.
4. To prepare undergraduate Exercise Physiology students for advanced professional certifications or licenses from nationally recognized organizations.
Exercise Physiology Program Objectives
Design and implement exercise prescriptions and programs in healthy and diseased populations.
Conduct and interpret common fitness and clinical exercise physiology tests
Recognize and interpret cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal and metabolic changes that occur during exercise in healthy and diseased populations.
Develop safe and effective policies, procedures and guidelines for exercise programming using nationally recognized standards.
Develop cognitive and clinical skills related to exercise testing, exercise prescription and exercise programming.
Exercise physiology is a combination of basic and applied sciences. Exercise physiologists are involved in the healthcare network by establishing exercise, fitness, and rehabilitative prescriptions, standards, and priorities. Exercise physiologists work in health promotion, fitness facilities, colleges and universities, clinical rehabilitation facilities, and sport and athletic conditioning programs.
Exercise Physiology Employment Projections
Exercise physiology and related healthcare occupations are expected to make up 7 of the 20 fastest growing occupations (the largest proportion of any occupational group). Employment opportunities in fitness, healthcare and health-related industries are projected to increase 25-30% over the next decade, with more than 3 out of every 10 new jobs created in healthcare. Fitness and recreation sports centers will provide many new jobs as these establishments become more common and continue to need trained professionals to care for their clients. Employment growth will be driven by increasing demand for healthcare by an aging population and longer life expectancies.
Exercise Physiology Program Accreditation
The Exercise Physiology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) (http://www.caahep.org/.). Ohio Northern's Exercise Physiology program is one of only eighteen undergraduate colleges in the country currently with this distinctive accreditation and the only traditional undergraduate school in the midwest. CAAHEP accreditation ensures Exercise Physiology majors will have met vigorous national standards established by professional organizations and ensures you will have all the knowledge, skills and assessments to be successful upon graduation. The Exercise Physiology program is also recognized by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Education Recognition Program as having a curriculum that prepares you for the NSCA's national certification exam (http://www.nsca.com/.). These credentials represent our faculty's commitment to providing the most up to date and pertinent curriculum for our students.

We often hear people say when they walk through our doors, I just want to take all of them home with me! We understand the sentiment, as we bond with each and every animal that comes through our doors.
We also know that most people who say they want them all are just saying that because they feel bad that there are so many homeless pets in the world. They just want each of them to get the kind of permanent home they deserve.
However, for some well-meaning people, they arent actually able to control the number of pets they have in their house. These folks sometimes become animal hoarders.
What exactly is a hoarder? The definition isnt exact, but usually involves someone who takes in a large number of animals and typically isnt able to provide a clean area for them, proper vet care or fresh food and water.
Hoarding is very often a symptom of a greater mental illness, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. For most hoarders, it is likely that their actions are the result of a true pathology, even though they are still usually able to function quite well in society, said Randall Lockwood, HSUS vice president for Research and Educational Outreach.
The thought process behind hoarding usually begins with some logic, actually. Hoarders know that shelters are overcrowded, and, if they come across a cat or dog that is homeless, they know turning it over to animal control doesnt guarantee its adoption. So they find room for it in their home or their backyard, even if they dont really have room and cant afford another mouth to feed.
In my previous life, I ran Meals on Wheels programs in Florida and encountered animal hoarders who were also clients. Ill never forget Mrs. Farr, who passed away a few years ago. She loved cats and always had a few growing up.
By the time I met her, she was in her 70s and was very frail. I noticed a few cats outside her house one day when I was filling in for a vacationing driver.
When I knocked on her door, I was greeted by several more cats inside. She likely had about 30 cats living with her, along with the 10 or so homeless men who rented cots in her house, but that is another story for another time.
As the months passed, I got to know her a little better. I brought her donated cat food and learned more about the cats and how she got them all. Her friends knew she liked cats, so when one had a litter of kittens, one or two would end up at her house.
She considered herself a type of rescue, although she was in no position to feed them, let alone have them spayed or neutered.
She didnt want me to take them to our local shelter and was even scared to have them altered because she was told that it would change their personalities.
A few months later, she called me to tell me she had some sick kittens, and she didnt have the money to have them seen. My vet tech friend and I went over and took four kittens from her home.
One had a severally injured eye from being attacked by one of the other cats on the property. It was very ill and nearly died. Fortunately, the kitten was stabilized, and the eye was removed. The kitten bounced back to health and has been living as a permanent foster in my house for the past 11 years.
Hoarding is often even more than the neighborhood cat lady like Mrs. Farr originally was. Often, these individuals need help from professionals who can help them get their life back in order. If you know of someone like this, please try and get them to seek help.
If they are a senior, your local Council on Aging would be a good place to start. Animal Control can also be a good resource. Additionally, calling the 211 helpline will provide you with resources for them.
You can also call us at 648-6863 to help in any way we can, such as providing affordable spay and neuter to get their numbers of pets under control.
Remember, we all want to save them all, but, in cases like these, sometimes we need to save pets from the people who took on more than they could handle.
Gary Willoughby is the president and CEO of the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare.

SOUTH WHITLEY — South Whitley United Methodist Church hosted an American Red Cross (ARC) Blood Drive Wednesday in memory of Ellie Olivia Walter and Emma Grace Hindbaugh.
"They are now angels in Heaven with wings to carry our prayers to God," said event coordinators. "Ellie and Emma both passed away too soon."
Ellie passed away at 3 months old and Emma was 6 years old.
Cory and Brittany (Waybright) Hindbaugh are the parents of Emma. Surviving grandparents are Larry and Deb Waybright and Ron and Janet Hindbaugh.
Marc and Brooke (Weber) Walter are the parents of Ellie.
The families decided to commemorate the memory of Ellie and Emma by helping to build the nation's blood supply through the ARC.
Team Supervisor Julie Haire said a total of 100 units of blood were packed at the drive. This is above the 65 units normally collected at the South Whitley location.

MMA sparring- unfair to strikers
For those of us who prefer slugging it out like men rather than rolling around like fags MMA sparring is kinda unfair. You don´t get to hit people like you would in a real fight. The world needs some type of soft gloves that can be used for striking and still kept on when you´ve gotten to the ground. Someone needs to invent that ****.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, especially when sparring MMA with grapplers aho want you to go "light contact" striking and no face contact, but full on grappling =P.
My favorite piece of gear is the full face shield helmet. Not for me, but my partner. I know, I know, causes bad habits, but it's like the only time I can unload a full face shot at my partner and not feel bad."Emevas,

The 8 Best Pizzas in Connecticut
Connecticut is the buckle of the Northeastern pizza belt, which stretches from Pennsylvania to Massachusetts. More specifically, the New Haven style of pizza not only is one of the first uniquely American pizza styles, but it has been preserved by a cluster of family-run establishments which still in many cases use the original equipment, now almost a century old. Naturally New Haven might be considered Connecticut's pizza capital, but the state has dozens of great pizzerias. Few other places in the country have as much great pizza per capita (PPC). These are the best eight pizzas in Connecticut that we have had to date. More

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few."
If you would like to become more intimate with practice at Zen Center, here are some suggestions for next steps. Some of these can be applied elsewhere or from home.
(Note: We offer specific suggestions for City Center and Green Gulch because they are the most available of our centers to the public. Tassajara during the spring and summer is a wonderful retreat location, and offers a variety of practice opportunities, including work practice, guest practice and retreats. During the fall and winter, it is reserved for intense monastic practice periods. If you're not in the San Francisco/Marin area, you may be able to find a sitting group near you.)

Kishi Bashi to perform solo show at Frankie's Sept. 26Written by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Kishi Bashi has performed at Frankie's Inner City before, but his Sept. 26 show will be his first as a solo performer.
"I've always had a fun time there," he said.
Kishi Bashi (which is the solo work of Kaoru Kishi Bashi) is formerly from the band Jupiter One. He's been performing solo for two years. His solo work is a mixture of avant-pop and strings. He plays the violin onstage with his four-piece touring band.
"I started focusing on violin. … There's a lot of undiscovered territory in that instrument so I started digging deep," Kishi Bashi said.
The show is part of his tour promoting a new limited edition 7-inch only available online. It contains a song on both sides including "Philosophize In It! Chemicalize With It." He recorded the song for a Japanese commercial. It's been available online for a while but is now officially released.
The song is his first new material since his debut album last year, "151a."
"Like most debut albums, it's a collection of the best material you have," Kishi Bashi said. "There's not necessarily a single thing that inspired it."
Kishi Bashi said he wanted to keep the album uplifting and inspiring.
"I wanted to keep the positive," he said. "I didn't want a showy, arty album. I just wanted me."
He said he modeled his album after psychedelic rock bands with orchestrated elements like Pink Floyd. He recorded his debut album almost two years ago and is currently putting the finishing touches on his second album.
The title of the album is a popular Japanese phrase which means "one meeting, one time." Kishi Bashi said it signifies one moment in time of him as a performer.
With the attraction to the audience and performers, there is one moment in time where everything changes, Kishi Bashi said. He said the phrase captivates how he approaches music.

- Anais Nin
I am bursting with news, overflowing with stories, tales of Adventure and Excitement, Challenges and New Beginnings! Yes, indeed, each of these words, these ideas does demand to be scrawled across the page in capital letters! Big, bold and brash plans deserve to be proclaimed from the rooftops, achievements bragged about, courage flaunted! The excitement is palpable in our house and growing with each new step we take. This may not be the Giant Leap for Mankind, yet our own Small Step for Man has the power to change lives! We are moving forward to making plenty of announcements, I do hope, and I can hardly think of anything else! But for now, this is truly a waiting game and my lips must be sealed until things are settled, decisions taken, heads nodded.
I've always yearned for adventure and of achieving great things! Little girl, as shy, reticent and quiet a homebody as I still am today, I would dream of flying away, free from the constraints of society, the small world in which I lived of school, parents, teachers and chores. My imagination, fueled by hours upon hours of books and reading, was filled with discovery of the odd and unusual, mysteries to be solved, treasures to uncover. But days would find me curled up in an armchair or perched up in the branches of a tree, nose buried inside one of these books, rather than out living anything even remotely exciting! I lived vicariously through my favorite youthful heroes and heroines, those who did indeed dare, reading the tales of their courage to run, the adventures of their discoveries, my daydreams alive and vibrant as if I had joined them on their travels, participated in their pranks, been a part of their war council! I would lose myself in worlds before unknown, unafraid of the challenges set out before me, boldly grab onto whatever dropped down in my path and rewrite my own personal history without ever leaving the safety of home.
-André Gide
Yet eventually, adventure has come to me, and then to us, in many forms. We have jumped at each occasion with the knowledge that these things aren't to be refused. Drawn to adventure, excitement and travels and energized by each and every challenge, we also play a part in our own destinies by creating, nurturing, opening ourselves up to new worlds. Around each and every corner lurks something to be learned, discovered, savored and appreciated. Many look at us as if we were absolutely crazy, as if each change in our life were simply a decision to cut and run, at best a fancy escapade made to draw attention to ourselves, at worst some wild and dangerous undertaking, risking society's displeasure and falling off of its radar. Yet don't they realize that each step we take, each unexpected opportunity that lands in our lap is something thought about, worked for, sought after? Some days we feel as if we are two storybook characters with a panoply of skills and hi-tech gadgets at the ready, our bundle of most treasured belongings tied up in a tidy little parcel, ready to be snatched up at a moment's notice, cameras strapped to our backs and sneakers laced up oh-so snugly, just waiting for our parents' backs to be turned when we can dash off unnoticed towards new exploits and accomplishments, the realization of yet one more dream.
- Henry David Thoreau
Meanwhile, the man's birthday came and went in a tumble of giggles, good moods all around inspired by visions of that new and exciting future. I sacrificed my subscription to my American newspaper so he could receive that new gadget he had been dreaming about, staring longingly at each time we passed the Mac shop, nose nearly yet not quite pressed to the window. He swore he didn't really want it, certainly didn't need it, but such joy and pleasure written across his face as I urged him into the shop, pushed him across the threshold, that I convinced him that nothing would give me more satisfaction than his having this particular machine warming his idle hands and his weekend hours. He and son have been sitting huddled over it, giddily fiddling with it, learning everything it could do, reveling in all of the magical possibilities and calling me over now and again to show me in all of their schoolboy-like innocence and glee.
I've been baking up a storm lately, activity spurned on by all of the excitement and nervous energy: cakes and cookies and breads of all sorts and flavors, and now we were in the mood for something different. I asked the Young Dudes what would be their pleasure, if they had any favorites or ideas. They are, after all, expected to consume most of what gets baked in this kitchen of mine so I thought it only fair that they have a say in the matter. I also run out of ideas now and then and was hoping that they wouldn't be too shy to make a suggestion or two, let me know what they really loved! And Valentin told me that Lemon Tart was high on his list of favorites. Bingo! I had a jar of freshly made Lime Curd in the refrigerator just looking for its own adventure. I knew that Clem loved the Lemon Tart I make, in fact he makes it himself when he has a dinner party to go to. The wheels started turning as my mind raced through the multitude of possibilities and I finally decided to whip up a Lime Cream Tart just in time for the Big Day. Why make the expected 2-layer, frosted Birthday Cake when I could surprise and delight with something creamy, dreamy, tangy and tart?
-Helen Keller
This luscious tart is a snap to create and truly a pleasure to eat. Light as air yet rich in flavor, the ideal treat for any citrus lover and adventurous palate.
1 pre-baked Sweet Almond Pastry Crust
1 ½ cups (375 ml) Lime Curd, more or less, to taste
1 cup (250 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
6 Tbs unsalted butter
3 large eggs, whisked to blend
½ cup sugar
½ cup limejuice (4 – 6 limes)
Zest of 1 or 2 limes
Have a very clean pint jar or 2 jelly jars prepared and waiting.
Melt the butter over low to medium heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the sugar, the limejuice, the zest and the lightly beaten eggs. Continue whisking as the mixture cooks and thickens and a custard forms. This should only take a few minutes and the custard should thickly coat a spoon. The Curd should be creamy, unctuous and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature before pouring into the clean jar or jars. Refrigerate to chill before using.
1 ¼ cup (175 g) flour
¼ cup (50 g) sugar
½ cup (45 to 50 g) finely ground almonds or hazelnuts
7 Tbs (100 grams) unsalted butter, cubed
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Combine flour, sugar and ground almonds in a mixing bowl or on a work surface. Using only your thumbs and fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the consistency of damp sand and there are no more large chunks of butter.
Using a fork, vigorously stir in the lightly beaten egg until all the dry ingredients are moistened and a dough starts to pull together. Gather the dough together into a ball and place on a lightly floured surface. Using the heel of one hand, smear the dough little by little, inch by inch, pressing into the table and away from you in quick, hard strokes in order to make sure that all of the butter is blended in well. Scrape up the dough together, reflour the surface lightly and working very briefly and quickly, kneading until you have a smooth, homogenous dough. Wrap the ball of dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at 15 to 30 minutes until firm enough to roll out without sticking to the rolling pin.
Butter a favorite pie tin or plate, approximately 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter and 1 1/2 (4 cm) inches deep then flour, shaking out the excess. As the pie is not baked (although the pie crust is) there is no particular need for a pie plate of a certain size. Using a larger pie plate will make for a larger, shallower tart while using a smaller pie plate will make for a deeper, thicker tart, but I would suggest a tin no smaller than 8 inches (21 cm). You can also make individual tartlets.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until you have a circle the diameter of the bottom of the pie plate plus the width of the two sides. Gently roll the dough around the rolling pin and lift and unroll onto the pie dish. Line the prepared pie tin or plate by lifting and pressing into the dish and onto the sides. Trim any overhang. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Remove the chilled pie shell from the refrigerator and remove the plastic wrap. Prick the shell all over with a fork. Line the shell with a piece of parchment or oven paper and weigh down with ovenproof weights or dried beans, pushing the beans up against the sides of the tart shell. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 to 8 minutes then carefully remove the shell from the oven and gently lift out the parchment liner with the beans. Return the shell to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or so until the shell is set and golden and the edges are lightly browned. Carefully lift up the pie dish (if using a transparent glass pie dish) and make sure that the shell's underside is also uniformly golden brown. Remove the baked shell from the oven and allow to cool completely on a rack before filling.
Prepare the Whipped Lime Cream Tart:
Using an electric beater, beat the chilled whipping cream until very thick and peaks hold when the beaters are lifted up. Add the chilled Lime Curd about a half cup at a time to the whipped cream and continue beating until all of the Lime Curd has been incorporated into the cream and the resulting cream is thick and fluffy. Carefully pour or spoon the Whipped Lime Curd into the pre-baked Sweet Almond Pastry Crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least an hour or until ready to serve.
Just before serving, decorate with fresh raspberries or strawberries.
Alternately, you can spread the Lime Curd over the bottom of the pre-baked Sweet Almond Pastry Shell then top with whipped cream beaten until stiff peaks hold and sweetened with just a couple of tablespoons of powdered/confectioner's sugar.

Journal Journal: Girlfriend moves to OSX, Sopranos comment, I go Gentoo
A few items:
My gf, after using Linux RH9+XD2 for a couple weeks, ultimately went to Mac OSX. I bought her the 17" iMAC. The 20" was tempting, but my wallet was already screaming in pain when I decided to go for the 17.
We caught the season finale of Sopranos last night. Let me tell you -- they really like to put in little side plots. Many of them go nowhere and many of them just twist the main plot line. Perfect example is the climax of this season. Tony's cousin could have easily started a massive mafia war, but at each time it could have exploded into gun fire, it didn't. Watching the last episode, they were about to cop out with paying off the vendeta, but then one of those small plot twists got most of the NY people arrested -- who knew!
Finally, I tried upgrading my old laptop (which had rh9+xd2) to Fedora. RH9->FC1 worked okay (few minor errors, few package removals to make yum work), but then FC1->FC2 bombed (rpm and DB became incomaptible). Instead of spending a week in dependency/compiling hell, I decided to spend a week in compiling Gentoo bliss! The result is that my old clunker laptop feels like brand new, everything runs so fast now that it's optimized.
Compile time notes on this P4M 1.7ghz laptop with 1GB ram:
- Basic system setup: 1 night
- Gnome: 1 night
- Mozilla: 5 hours
- OpenOffice: 10 hours
Overall, the install was fun -- been a long time since I fooled around with the guts of a distribution, but the fooling around ends and you do get a stable system.

Notes for a later article:
- Ximian Gnome won over KDE!: Ok, this is more my fault than KDE's, but when I first sat down we looked at both, and found Ximian easier (see next point) -- i.e. less cluttered. I know KDE has a lot of familiar windows features, but I didn't want to overwelm her. As she said, "Can you rename that 'Word'?"
- Before looking at anything, I had to setup the Gnome panel at the bottom. I was disappointed to see the old wizard of Ximian 1 is no longer there
- Started with Mozilla Firefox as the browser, but this had a few problems with the launcher, and you couldn't copy from OpenOffice and paste into a firefox textarea.
- Ended with Galeon as the browser. No launcher problems and all cut/paste works great. It has a little bit of a performance hit, but a former windows user on a fast machine didn't even notice.
- Used OpenOffice for the word processor. The main reason was for MS compatibility, but each day there seems to be a new problem: first couldn't find the thesaurus, then the cut 'n paste problem above. She wants autoshapes/word art/clipart for her tapography class, and as of 5 minutes ago the font color button is unresponsive! I think it would go a long way to make OpenOffice look and feel like MS Office. Say what you will, taking an hour to find something in the GUI kills user experience.
- Tabbed browsing: She didn't see where windows were opening at first, but afterwards she grew used to it quickly. She's also pleased with no popups.
- Web Browser User Agent: her college is ASP in all it's glory: make all attempts to deny non-windows users. Oh sure, they accept NS6.2/7, but those user agents don't match galeon/firefox/latest mozilla. Had to do a little fittling with galeon to get the site to load correctly. During my fiddling I discovered yahoo has the same bullsh!t user agent checking.
- Opening files from websites: okay, her school's site is seriously starting to piss me off. They have this shared documents section that you can click a filename and open the file. In IE, you click an image name and it will open up MS photo (or whatever) and not open a second IE window. Still looking for a solution...
- What the hell happened to themes for gnome?! Back in the day themes.org provided for hours of oogling fun, but there's hardly anything there now. art.gnome.org is down, and google only turned up a few ok sites. In the end, I wasn't satisfied with the themes I found so we stuck with Ximian's Industrial with BlueCurve icons.
- Xsane is giving me a red tint on all scans. Going to try some config tweaks... I have a good feeling that it will work with those tweaks.
- Gimp: couldn't print an image (it just constnatly cycled paper through the printer without printing anything!). In the end we solved printing images by putting an image into an OOo document and printing the document.
- The ole HP Deskject 540c prints fine, maybe a little slower to print a page than when with windows
Sometimes I wonder if any of these suposedly user-friendly distros would be any better, but then hey... they use gimp, sane, openoffice, etc. There would probably be only a few small improvements but most of the usability problems would still be here if they use the same packages.
More to come...
Journal Journal: The Killer Web Service Apps?
If the trend is to start putting your business practices in a [xml] schema form, conceivably there could be some great web service business opportunities. For example, if yer business is all represented in XML, why not have another company provide a service for constant monitoring of your business growth? Could be a great way to auto-magically generate reports, look at expected taxes, etc.
On a side note, it seems like we're having "revolutionary breakthroughs" thanks to XML. Being only a 23 year ole software architect, I must say that I'm a little astonished that this is the revolution. Didn't people characterize data before the late 90s? I guess it's similar to the way older engineers talk about Corba and IIOP while we now talk about robust SOAP web services. I'm sure there's tons of CORBA stuff still around, but they didn't really cover it in college
To continue my journal entry, turned rant, I think there's a growing trend to move away from binary protocols/formats and to parsed/interpreted text. First came HTML, followed by XML, XML-RPC, SOAP, XAML, XUL, etc. Even for phone systems, h.323 is probably on its way out and SIP is on its way in. If I were to guess at some reasons why this trend is happening I would have to say increased processor power (parsing text for real-time messages was not previously possible) and making the programmer's life easier. Ever have to debug a web service? It's cake.
Journal Journal: Transforming Music
While I don't have the sound algorithm/graphic algorithm knowledge to attempt such a task, I did see something related on the discovery channel. Apparently crop circles are mathematical presentations of music as well. Not popular music, or even appealing music, but can be transformed into music.
I wonder what would happen if suddenly you could start sharing images you create instead of music files and de-cryption algorithms were also developed.
Journal Journal: Google makes a change to their default look
I'm up late (early?) working on a proposal for work. It's about 3am eastern or midnight PST and I notice something vexing about Google. I can't put my finger on it until I realize that they've changed their look.
The tabbed search items no longer have a colored background and the search results page is a little different here and there.
Not sure why they did this, I liked it better the old way. The new look reminds me of Yahoo *shiver*

Journal Journal: Death of phpNuke
Well, truth be told phpnuke.org and other sites like nukecops.com got hacked many times with the 6.5 release of their sotware. Of course you could get it early from their 10 dollar a month club, but that didn't help you with your security fixes. They tried to integrate phpBB into their system but it was poor at best with lots of bugs and poor features surrounding the whole thing. I lost count of the constant fixes and updates (for both security and features) that I knew the end was near for this. Many times FB has wanted to rewritethe software. After a while I even thought about rewriting it, just as many others have done, most notably myPHPNuke which spawned X-oops, and PostNuke which spawned Envolution and Xaraya. Who has the time for this? I wouldn't have the time for things like Tracking School if I wanted to re-write Nuke.
The icing on the cake for nuke is now a commercial licensing scheme. That link will take you to the story where just about everyone is in an outrage. More or less it just means that if you want a solution now you'll have to pay or wait for a while unitl a major release is sent out.
I was now faced with some choices... do I rewrite nuke and scour it for security holes? Do I migrate things into slashcode? Do I look for a phpBB oriented solution? Do I just say f-it all and get some sleep? While all had their pros and cons I choose to find something that was oriented around phpBB. The Gortbusters user base is often fascinatined with things like living with nature and when they do post they enjoy the user-friendly interface of phpBB. More imporantly, phpBB (like slash) both are maintained by a group of people and work very professionally. The quality is the largest selling point. You can easily spot simple poorly optimized code in nuke, which reading the php manual will point you to a better solution. The best example is that eregi is over-used in nuke when strposis the fastest function for a needle-in-a-hay-stack call.
Looking around for a phpBB oriented CMS (of which there are a few), I came across MX-system. The phpBB team will be releasing their own portal software, but I can't wait for it as it won't be ready for months - and who knows how many Nuke holes will be found by then. MX-system promised easy integration with just about no modifications to the existing phpBB software! Score. The one thing that sunk me on the bbtonuke project was that they were always behind the current phpBB code. The only thing remaining was a news posting module for their system, as none was written yet. I found Codemonkeyx.net had a nice news front page modification to phpBB. I took that, modified it for MX, and wrote an import script to convert my nuke database tables into phpBB. Voila, I'm happy and you can see it in action.
I hate to put down an open source project, but nuke seems to be run by one person who dictates everything. Had it been better managed, maybe the phpBB team wouldn't have the need to write a portal because they would have been working with Nuke from the start. Ah well, such is life.

Jackson's message to Teixeira after UFC on FOX 6: 'Go get the title' | News
Teixeira (20-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) thanked Jackson (32-11 MMA, 7-5 UFC), who plans to leave the UFC after a falling out with the organization. The Brazilian told him he was appreciated the opportunity and also considered himself a "Rampage" fan.
Jackson's response?
"He said, 'Now I'm your fan. Go get the title,'" Teixeira said.
Teixeira seemingly fed into Jackson's taunting when he promised he'd stand and trade with the striker. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt and dominant ground fighter did just that, and he rocked Jackson on multiple occasions with uppercuts and stinging body punches. It ultimately led to a unanimous-decision victory via 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 scores.
"He's a legend in this sport, and I feel great going in there and having that fight with him," Teixeira said. "I stood up with him, took him down, did it all. I feel great about the fight."
The victory was Teixeira's 18th straight, including his third consecutive in the UFC. Prior to joining the organization, he dominated the Brazilian circuit as a UFC contract was delayed by visa issues. Now, though, he's banked his biggest win to date, and it came against a fighter who came into the fight in surprisingly good shape, as UFC President Dana White was quick to point out.
"I beat a guy who's been in the top 10 for how long?" Teixeira said. "He's an ex-champ and a tough guy. Like Dana was saying, he was training hard. He was tough. He's so tough. He can take a punch.
"But [this win] puts me up there. I'm ready to fight anyone."
Teixeira, who had finished 16 of his previous 17 opponents, didn't put Jackson away. But White said it's forgivable.
"I honestly believe that tonight if Glover was fighting anyone else he would have knocked them out in the first round," he said after the fight. "'Rampage' got hit with that shot, and not only can he punch hard, he can take a punch."
So what's next Teixeira? Champ Jon Jones fights Chael Sonnen in April, the same month in which top contender Alexander Gustafsson meets Strikeforce import Gegard Mousasi, and ex-champ Rashad Evans meets Antonio Rogerio Nogueira this coming weekend in UFC 156's co-headliner. Additionally, contender Phil Davis is likely to get an upcoming fight with Vinny Magalhaes.
So where does that leave Teixeira, who plans to take off five days before he's back in the gym?
"It's up to him and the UFC," he said. "I don't care. I'll fight anyone, anyone out there. I think I'm 100 percent right now, and when they call me, I'll be ready."

"I don't know if I can compete with the top people," the former Light Heavyweight champion admitted to FUEL TV correspondent Ariel Helwani on the UFC on FOX 6: "Johnson vs. Dodson" post-fight show. "It's my first time I've lost three fights in a row. I'm not going to give up. I'm going to go back to the drawing board and work on everything. I feel like I can come back if I set my mind to it, but right now if anyone picks me up, that's my marketing pitch -- hey I'll put on a great show for you.""I think that this is my reality and I have to see what's next," he said. "I've been fighting for 13 years and the game has changed a lot. I might just be one of those fighters that come in and excite the crowd -- be like Gary Goodridge. One of those guys who just comes out and puts on a great show. Gary Goodridge is a great ambassador for the sport and he taught me a long time ago that it's all about the show. I'm just going out there and try to entertain the fans. I'll be one of those middle range fighters. If someone wants to pick me up and somebody is going to put on an exciting fight for the fans."

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City is planning to expand hurricane evacuation areas to encompass 640,000 more residents, and the number of zones will be doubled so the city can better tailor evacuation orders to the dynamics of a particular storm.
Deputy Mayors Caswell Holloway and Linda Gibbs disclosed those plans Friday while releasing an analysis of the city's handling of Superstorm Sandy.
Details on the new zones are expected in June.
The city currently has three evacuation zones. Altogether, more than 2.3 million people live in them.
The roughly 375,000 residents of the most vulnerable area, called Zone A, were ordered to leave before Sandy. A city survey found 63 percent stayed home.
The city now plans six evacuation zones.

The prospective grantees are assembled on the small stage: The woman who makes old-timey tintypes to document the unraveling of the US economy; two artists who create treasure out of discarded bags and wrappers; a guy with a portable pipe organ; a team proposing a "petting zoo" of rare instruments; a community cooking club; a fellow who hacks old iTrip Nanos to produce an instrument artists can use.
There are two projects related to the Gowanus Canal, a Brooklyn Superfund site the government plans to dredge sometime before 2020 to remove a century's-worth of industrial pollutants and the random grisly skeleton sunk to its kneecaps in cement. For now, one group will plant broomcorn, a kind of sorghum, on the banks, while the other will continue a beautification project it began five years ago.
And there is a woman who makes human cheese.
Welcome to FEAST in Brooklyn (http://feastinbklyn.org), a community meal held every couple months in the basement of the Lutheran Church of the Messiah in Greenpoint, a piece of Williamsburg where landlords are mostly Polish, and renters young professionals, hipsters and artists. The dinner is open to the public; a suggested $20 donation gets you a meal–in this case, a vegetarian sub, salad, and free beer donated by Brooklyn Brewery–and a vote.
The vote actually counts–rare, in a country where candidates are owned by corporate donors and presidents are chosen by an "electoral college" that nobody understands. You vote for the project that most grabs your fancy. At the end of the night, the winners split the gate.
The recycling artists have created a lighting fixture in found plastic wrappers–nacho chips, peanut-butter cups, cookies; pinks and earth tones predominate. The structure is a bit phallic. They plan to work with kids whose school art programs have been cut to the bone.
FEAST stands for Funding Emerging Art with Sustainable Tactics. According to Matt Cassity, a member of the collaborative that organizes the dinners, the first Brooklyn FEAST was held in 2008. It was modeled on a Chicago event called Sunday Soup. Since then donor dinners have sprung up as nearby as Jersey City (Art Eat Up), and as far away as Ukraine (Sunday Borscht). Cassity's group is very bullish on "creating a community where attendees and artists get a chance to discuss their work in a meaningful way."
The broomcorn guy informs me that Brooklyn once actually manufactured brooms. His group will hold a broom-making workshop with their harvested crop. A two-fer: beautification, and living history.
The first FEAST raked in $756 for artist Dan Funderburgh, who used the money for community beautification, employing his custom-made wallpaper. The picture on the website shows something that might be a utility cart, covered in wallpaper, parked in front of an ugly industrial building.
A young man taps a computer key: air flows through a hose and a piece of an organ pipe, and a more-or-less musical tone puffs out. He will craft more pipes and hoses into a contraption he'll cart into neighborhoods, parks and festivals, introducing the public to an instrument heretofore imprisoned in churches and concert halls.
Since the wallpaper grant, the dinners have increased in number–from that single 2008 event, to four per year–and have granted a total of $15,756.
Not only will the Gowanus Canal Conservancy (GCC) continue its current efforts to clean and prettify the canal's banks, a young woman tells me, but they plan to collect garbage from area merchants. They'll compost it, to fertilize their plantings. She hastens to add that none of those plants are edible. "Have you talked with the broomcorn people?" I ask. She has not. Hmmm.
Grantee projects are a motley lot. In April of 2009, $1000 went to a cooperative effort between the Kindness and Imagination Development Society (K.I.D.S.: "a group of people committed to developing [or redeveloping] our childhood selves") and Secret School ("A platform for interdisciplinary exchange" focused on "learning, doing and collaboration"), to "map a network of secret gardens." Another $200 went to artist Joey Zvejnieks, to fund a day giving away free hotdogs–or a drawing of a hotdog–in a Bushwick park. Also, $200 went to The Greenpoint Bird Migration Project, which seems to have involved a flock of paper birds hung on Greenpoint trees. Finally, $200 went to the Urban Homesteading Project, who recycled plastic bottles into plant-holders and hung the potted greens on fences in one of Greenpoint's starker industrial areas.
I wander past tin photo plates that echo the Great Depression, a hammered dulcimer, two women discussing cooking classes. The guy with the hacked Nanos expounds on his invention's electronic applications for its potential users, and my eyes glaze over…
FEAST has helped fund high school girl bands, build a rooftop farm, and support a team that's "following in the footsteps of a Marco Polo-esque spice trade" by canoeing through New Jersey wetlands in search of the state's numerous artificial flavoring factories.
"The milk's from a Manhattan businesswoman, an Asian woman," says an intense woman in a curve-clinging dress. "She eats a lot of sweets, and this is a sort of ricotta–" she shows me little crackers surmounted by tiny scoops of cheese. "I'm trying to get people talking about the ethics of food, about sustainability…"
The church rents its hall for a low cost to community and arts organizations, and that's where FEAST has held its events since it began. However, the next meal, on May 7, will move to Manhattan, to the New Museum, a contemporary art museum established in 1977 and now housed in the Bowery. There, it will be part of the Festival of Ideas for a New City.
Dinner is over–it was delicious, by the way–and the votes have been collected. The crowd mills. A toddler reels from table to table. A hipster slips another beer from the ice tub. Somebody pets a dulcimer. The Human Cheese lady slips out for a bathroom break.
The air buzzes with anticipation.
A coordinator takes the stage, microphone in hand. He announces the results of our votes: Three grants have been awarded: $1000 to the ongoing Gowanus beautification project for its new composting program, plus $500 to the broomcorn folks–maybe they'll get together?–and $500 to the Anywhere Organ.
And so passes FEAST #10.
And the world becomes just a little bit more interesting.

By Catholic Apologist Dave Armstrong
I rarely document what the anti-Catholics [i.e., those who deny that Catholicism is Christian] do anymore (I used to, quite a bit), but this was too bizarre to pass up. Rather than concentrating on the evil of abortion (he found out some Catholics dared to pray the Rosary at a death camp), this anonymous critic would rather condemn his brothers and sisters in Christ. Is it any wonder that the abortion holocaust continues unchecked, with this sort of division among Christians?:
[Title] And now, some slightly blasphemous prayers
. . . Leaving aside the question of whether the Rosary has any effect on abortion (other than making demons laugh uproariously), . . .
He links the words about the demons to this passage (his supposed prooftext):
Proverbs 28:9 (NASB) He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
Scott Alt takes him to task:
Rhology proceeds in his next paragraph to speculate that the Rosary has no effect whatsoever on abortion, but that it does "mak[e] demons laugh uproariously." There's no mention of whether demons laugh at abortion itself, or the continual re-election of Nancy Pelosi. Rhology is certain, however, that they are in stitches at the recitation of Luke 1:28 and Luke 1:42–43. . . .
Catholics and Reformed Protestants have serious differences, and they merit discussion and debate. But in the context of our shared outrage at the murder of the unborn: Rhology, let it go.
He won't. Bashing and lying about Catholics is clearly a greater priority for anti-Catholics who "reason" like Rhology than stopping the murder of preborn babies by the millions.
Elsewhere, he mocks the Rosary again: "So how many holy Rosaries does it take to get Joe Biden excommunicated?" To which I respond: "I guess, how many Protestant spontaneous prayers it takes to end legal abortion and stop the slaughter, after 55 million . . ."
If one thing is a supposed "difficulty," so is the other, far more. But that is threatening to actually be logical and fair-minded . . .
This is what Maricle / "Rhology" thinks of me, by the way:
In reality, you're a special case. You're a false teacher, and a borderline obsessive-compulsive, incorrigible, tenacious one at that. Biblically, a Christian is not to treat you like he treats the majority of lost people. Rather, you are a wolf in sheep's clothing, cooing "come back to the true church" to unwitting people, some of whom follow the sweet voice and are devoured by the enemy. You are to be opposed, and that means exposing your foolish reasoning and false Gospel and "answering a fool according to his folly". May God have mercy on you.
(8-21-09, on the Boors All website, originally in the comments under this post: now safely removed, of course; fortunately, I preserved it)
A Lutheran woman in the thread referred to above, Brigitte, who is no less critical of the Rosary, but who isn't anti-Catholic, stated:
I would not say that RC does not have the gospel, as they also preach Christ and allow people to come to confession and receive absolution.
Without missing a beat, maniacal Maricle promptly dissed her, too:
I seriously fear for your soul, Brigitte.
You see, even if a fellow Christian, a Lutheran (in the anti-Catholic's eyes) dares to disagree with the mantra of Catholics being utterly devoid of the gospel, then their soul is in distinct danger of hellfire, too, and maybe they were never "saved" to begin with (in this version of theology). Now poor feckless, ignorant Brigitte is placed in the same box that we lowly idolatrous, pagan, Pelagian, unregenerate papists are in.

Put these curtains in a room with old drafty windows and there was an immediate difference in the temperature. The room is so comfortable now and there is no need to keep turning up the heat anymore. I just wish there were more fabric designs offered.
