(Music playing.) I'm Jason Bentley on subscriber supported 89.9 KCRW, Santa Monica. Look at this! It's a CD-R of my own remix of Bitter Sweet, guest vocalist, collaborators on this new album from Thievery Corporation. It's not easy to bring a club into museum. So there's always a little bit of a disconnect, but it's more about an experience for people.
Let's call the audience number two from Transit Transit's forth-coming album from Autolux. My position was I didn't want to take it too far out. It was just taking it in a new and a sort of dance and electronic direction. Including Justice, Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco, Boys Noize and more. That's been my British Invasion, my punk rock movement, my movement has been the Club Music Explosion.

The Teen Wolf Of Wall Street
He brought extreme hair, slammin' basketball skills, and car surfing stunts to an otherwise sleepy suburban town, but if Teen Wolf had put his mind to being a wolf of Wall Street he would have gone from nerdy guy to alpha male in no time flat.
This silly little video piece was put together by Aaron White, and though it has nothing to do with the Scorsese film The Wolf Of Wall Street besides a name Aaron attached to the piece it delivers the laughs with a comical clip choice and the addition of Kanye West's song "Black Skinhead".

St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Bryan LaHair hit a grand slam and Ian Stewart added a three-run homer as Chicago dealt the defending-champion Cardinals a 9- 5 defeat in the opener of a three-game weekend set from Busch Stadium.
"I knew I hit it good, but I haven't played in this park that much so I wasn't quite sure," LaHair said. "When it snuck over it was good."
Starlin Castro finished 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored for the Cubs, who have won two in a row since a three-game losing streak.
Jeff Samardzija (2-0) did just enough to pick up the win, allowing five runs and 10 hits with five strikeouts over five innings.
Matt Carpenter collected two hits and drove in two runs for St. Louis, which has lost two in a row. Yadier Molina, David Freese and Jon Jay added an RBI each in defeat.
Adam Wainwright (0-2) lasted just three innings, charged with seven hits and eight runs in his first home start since September of 2010.
"We're seen so many positive things from [Wainwright] this year, he's been so far ahead of what all the expectations were [after missing the 2011 season due to Tommy John surgery]," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "Today was just one of those games where you have to step back, gather yourself and figure out what you have to do differently."
Chicago's early outburst concluded in the fourth on a Soriano double-play grounder which boosted its lead to 9-0, then St. Louis finally awoke with a five-run fifth.
Shane Robinson started the rally with a leadoff pinch single, moved up on a groundout and scored on a Jay base hit. Two batters later Carlos Beltran singled to put men on the corners, then Freese and Molina added run-scoring hits before Carpenter's two-run triple made it 9-5.
Rafael Dolis, James Russell, Kerry Wood and Carlos Marmol combined to shut the door from there.
Following a delay of one hour, 44 minutes due to rain, the Cubs felt the mojo, racking up a 4-0 lead five batters in. David DeJesus ripped a ground-rule double to start, Darwin Barney singled, then Castro singled in DeJesus and Stewart followed with a three-run blast.
It was 8-0 in the third. Castro walked with one out, Alfonso Soriano singled, Stewart drew a base on balls and LaHair cleared the fence in left center for a grand slam.
St. Louis won 10 of 15 over the Cubs last season...The Cards fell to 2-5 in home openers in the new Busch, which opened in 2006...Attendance was 46,882.

"I think he's so talented. He's got the speed, he's got the skill, he's physically strong and he gets under your skin. He moves the puck … he does some great things. And I think as he matures his game is going to tighten up to the point where when you talk about Norris Trophy contenders he may be one some day. He's got that amount of skill."

i have that problem with my Iomega HDD. After i changed to a WD it hasn't been an issue. hmmmm....... sorry all I can do is confirm this error, and I don't have a solution.
Well, the subject pretty much explains my issue. I have a WD MyBook Home Edition drive, and the only way USBLoader GX (or any other loader) will "see" the drive and run is if I power the HDD On after powering on the Wii. Easy enough for me to do, but when the kids come into the bedroom at 6 AM on the weekends wanting to play the Wii, I have to get up and go down to power up everything in the correct order (the kids are too young - I don't want them messing with power plugs).
Is there any setting in Priiloader, USBLoader GX, or other where you can perhaps cycle the USB port Off and then back On (or something similar)?
I suppose I can get one of those extension cords that has an on/off switch and teach the kids to use that, but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.
i have that problem with my Iomega HDD. After i changed to a WD it hasn't been an issue. hmmmm....... sorry all I can do is confirm this error, and I don't have a solution.
What model WD do you have?
gbonawitz, your WD MyBook Home Edition is 500gb or 1tb? i read that the MyBook Home editions are not 100% compatible and sometime they really bother with some issues =/
is it in 1 whole partition or theres more partitions?
i have a WD My Passport Essential 500gb 2.5 in 2 partitions (300gb PC and 200gb Wii), and i never have a problem. its seens to be the perfect hdd, never heard of any issues with it... and its perfect for the kids, i now that! i have 3 here! ^^
Same issue with 500GB MyBook. It's something to do with the Wii not being able to pull the drive out of stanby/sleep mode. No advice on getting it to work though.
Hopefully someone around here has an idea, because it's a huge P.I.T.A.
BTW, running 4.1/CIOS38r17 (tried 14-17) and Hermes 222r4, USBLoaderGX last 30 or so versions. None of that seems to matter one way or the other.
I was having similar issues with the same drive(500gb WD My Book) I would have to turn on the drive after turning on my wii or it would not work otherwise and when i got it to work the drive would go into sleep move.
I bought a 320gb passport and it fixed all of my issues.
Also having the same issue with my MyBook 500GB Hard Drive.
It's just rather frustrating and defeats the purpose of not having to get up to put a disc in the wii, if I have to get up and restart the Hard Drive.

Dean Wareham's new album, released next week on Double Feature and Sonic Cathedral has been getting good reviews in print and online – here I'll collect a few – please feel free to add any others you may find in the comments (or email them to me if you prefer).
Here's a review posted by Terry Tolkin (who signed Luna to Elektra all those years back, and has a chapter all of his own in Black Postcards) on Facebook
It's a nine-piece set of glorious tunes produced by Jim James. I think that it comes out later this month. The lyrics flow and interplay like a DNA helix. It's a song cycle that, to me, touches every stage of his recording career. References repeat resoundingly. The lyrics here can collide, disperse and recombine in ways that remind me of the structure of the first half a dozen Van Morrison solo albums. I kinda feel like I've had these very same thoughts myself but Dean has stitched them all loosely together like a Crazy Quilt. One that only makes perfect sense when you stand back and look at it as a whole. He's always been able to say so much while using only a scarcity of carefully chosen words from his quiver.
Scattered amongst these songs is some of the most intricate and exciting guitar work he's ever recorded.
UK glossy Mojo gives it four stars
Luna's obsessive valve-amp loveliness is here supplanted by a more varied spread : opener The Dancer Disappears – Dean attempts to corral a disco track from the chords to Glen Campbell's Mary In The Morning – contrasts '80s synthesized beats with Wareham's Velvets style arpeggios. It's hardly disco, but it's lovely.
Rolling Stone in the US gives it three and a half stars…
Dean Wareham has finally released a solo album. The singer-guitarist's trademark slow, rhythmic chug and wry worldview are both here, as appealing as ever, and Jim James' warm production renders these songs equivalent of cozy Danish modern furniture – all clean lines and earth tones.
UK glossy UNCUT gives it 7 out of 10
[Dean Wareham is] someone who so deftly carved out a niche in the world of independent music, it's difficult to begrudge him the simple pleasures of writing beautiful songs, year in, year out. But tightrope walking between familiarity and homogeneity carries its own risks. On Dean Wareham, his first proper solo album after 2013's Emancipated Hearts mini-LP, he mostly navigates it well.
La carriera solista vera e propria di Dean – mai finita a dire il vero anche dopo lo scioglimento dei Galaxie 500 – sembra essere iniziata col botto, dopo l'Ep (in realtà più corto di questo esordio di solo un paio di tracce, di cui una presa in prestito dall'amico Michael Holland dei Jennyanykind) di dicembre. Alla produzione qui Jim James dei My Morning Jacket sostituisce Jason Quever dei Papercuts , e sceglie per questo Lp omonimo un aspetto decisamente più convenzionale (ma anche generalmente più fedele alla personalità artistica del suo autore), levigando ogni asperità dopo l'ammiccamento al dream-pop indipendente di "Emancipated Hearts".
Cinematografica è infine la chiusura di flebili impressioni metropolitane, notturne, di "Happy And Free": Dean si allontana in taxi su un ponte illuminato, ma sul comodino ci ha lasciato uno dei dischi del cuore di quest'anno.
French magazine Magic RPM gives the album 4 dots…. out of six!?
Et il en est ainsi à chacune de ces neuf chansons parfaites, indémodables. Les mélodies euphorisantes se font gentiment bousculer par une instrumentation touffue et psychédélique : Dean Wareham endosse alors de nouveau son costume de doublure policé du Lou Reed du Velvet Underground ou de Tom Verlaine période Marquee Moon (Television – 1977). Dans le fond aucune surprise donc, si ce n'est celle de retrouver un vieil ami à un tel niveau de forme.
Head off to Dean Wareham's website, Sonic Cathedral, iTunes, Amazon, or your favoured brick or online record emporium to pre-order your copy ahead of next week's release.

Is Mitt Romney making inroads with the Tea Party? That at least seems to be the implication of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's endorsement of him today. Haley had promised to make up her mind before Iowa, and apparently Gingrich's high poll numbers in her state weren't enough to win her over:
"Today is the day that I'm throwing all of my support behind Mitt Romney for president," Haley said on FOX & Friends. "What I want was someone who is not part of the chaos that is Washington. What I wanted was someone who knew what it was like to turn broken companies around."
Haley also argued that Romney was the only candidate who could defeat President Barack Obama next fall.
For someone with Tea Party credibility like Haley, it's useless to try to argue for Romney on the grounds that he's the true conservative in the race. Movement conservatives will not buy it. But electability is a legitimate issue, and if Haley can make the case that Romney is just as conservative (if not more so) than Gingrich – and has a better chance of getting elected – then that could encourage Tea Partiers to take another look at Romney.
Haley's support for Romney is also a loss for both Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, who she's praised in the past, and who could have really used her endorsement in the lead-up to the Iowa caucuses. Both candidates were impressive in the debate last night, but the fact that Haley overlooked them may be an acknowledgment that she can't see them on a path to the nomination.
The South Carolina governor is quickly jumping into her role as a Romney surrogate, and has already recorded a robocall for him in her state. It will be interesting to see how this impacts Gingrich's 20-point lead (according to the RCP average) in the South Carolina polls.

Even in a time of national celebration over the death of bin Laden, there will always be propagandists whose only game is political negativity vis-à-vis their opponent.
However, Secretary of Defense Gates, a Republican, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, called President Obama's decision "the greatest decision I have ever witnessed." Historians will record Gates' judgment and not Limbaugh's antics.
On a lighter note, my letter may have distracted some from worshiping their supreme, secular deity. Nevertheless, your spunk deserves commendation.
To set the record straight about this Dean. I graduated from college and I'm happily retired. I don't know "The Dean Clan" to whom you refer.
And although I don't watch MSNBC, I particularly enjoyed the creative rejoinder to "learning by osmosis."
Moreover, all of my criticisms of Limbaugh and Fox News as two complimentary sources of information can also be equally applied to, for example, MSNBC and Ed Schultz. A viewpoint restricted and reinforced by solely another, similarly held viewpoint, hardly ensures healthy, diversified opinions.
Understandably, with the complexity of most issues, it is human nature to simply follow the person with the loudest, most confident voice. But if you're not skeptical, you're gullible. Besides, God knows we're all fallible.
Listening and understanding only one side of an argument involving a complex issue may satisfy the need for personal security, to quell the anxiety over being uncertain in a ever changing world of fact and context, but it's not being responsible nor authentic. One can listen to Limbaugh's or Schultz's opinions by one's self; copy-cats and echo chambers aren't needed.
When you religiously confine yourself to one point of view without understanding others, you show your prejudice, not your intellect. We can do better.

MSN for Mac: Issue with contacts
Hey all,
Today when I got home after a long day of college, I woke my Macbook from sleep and reconnected my MSN (it was connected in college).
However, upon logging in, I got the popup saying Person A (firstname.lastname@example.com) has added you to his list, do you wish to: Accept or Deny (Add or Block).
So far nothing strange, apart from the fact that MSN does this for ALL my contacts. That is, all people that have already added me to their list, and thus also all people I have already accepted. So I went to the process of accepting everyone one by one, and then rebooted MSN. Again the same story.
The issue occurs both with MSN 7 and MSN 8 beta (both the latest subversions). The second oddity is the fact that MSN on Windows, Adium and eBuddy all work perfectly fine. This made me conclude that the issue must be somewhere in the mac clients. At first this struck me as odd, since both versions did this, so I uninstalled both clients (through a safe uninstaller, deleting both MSN7.app, MSN8beta.app and ONE .plist file -do they share one?). After reinstalling MSN 7.0.2 stable, the problem still persists.
Anyone with similar issues, or better yet anyone with a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Inter-Regional Unit
IRU cost scheme for loans
The Circle of Officers of National and Regional Library Systems (Conarls) operates the Inter-Regional Unit cost scheme to reduce inter-lending costs for libraries. Membership of the IRU is free and is open to all UK libraries.
See a list of IRU participants on the Conarls website. Please note that NLS does not participate in the scheme itself, although we do administer membership of the scheme on behalf of Conarls.
Rates for non-participants
Libraries that do not participate in the IRU schemes are charged the British Library rates for their library. Libraries that charge higher prices should expect to be charged a reciprocal amount.

Neighbors tell of strange behavior by suspect in mosque threat
Bond set at $2,000 for Christopher Bane, 42
SAN ANTONIO - Christopher Bane, 42, is accused by his neighbors of exhibiting strange behavior long before he allegedly threatened to shoot up a mosque in the medical center area.
Bane was arrested Tuesday on a charge of making a terroristic threat.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated that the intended target was the Islamic Academy of San Antonio.
However, leaders at the religious center said the mosque is actually part of the Islamic Center of San Antonio, which sits on the same property.
The affidavit stated that a witness came forward Nov. 6, saying that Bane told him he planned to "shoot as many people as possible" at the mosque, then kill himself.
It stated that he also said he had a .45 caliber gun and ammunition.
"Any talk like this is not just talk, so we really take it seriously," said Solomon Hamide, president of the Islamic Center. "We have beefed up security, for one thing. All night, we have somebody that is guarding the area here."
Before anything could happen, though, police arrested Bane, who they said lived in a two-story home on Fair Avenue. Some neighbors said they had been keeping their distance from him long before the alleged threat.
Calvin Floyd said Bane once knocked on his door, asking for a cigarette and spare change to make a phone call.
"It seemed like he was on something," Floyd said. "I don't think he would've actually done it, but at the same time, you can never put anything past a person."
Another man, who wanted to be identified only as "Dave," said he recalls having several disturbing conversations with Bane.
"(Bane) would say, 'I'm going to get even with this one or get even with that.' I thought he was joking. But he was dead serious," he said.
The unidentified neighbor said Bane seemed to have issues with immigrants, that he once blasted them after hearing that the neighbor had lost his job.
"(Bane) said, 'It's probably because of those people.' I didn't answer him. I just kept listening. And he said, 'They should be taken care of. They shouldn't be allowed in here," the man said.
No one, however, seemed to know why Bane would want to take aim at a mosque.
Hamide said although his center was the apparent target of the threats, word had spread throughout the local Islamic community and people were concerned.
He said even though Bane is in custody now, members of his center are not ready to let their guards down yet.

it's awesome that you're going through all the diagnostic tools used by MS support engineers. Now the biggest problem is choosing which tool to use when.
By the way, installing a windows service (that's what DebugDiag does in order to collect data) seems a bit uncomfortable in production. Could I take dumps with procdump or windbg and open them in the analyzer to take advantage of the application specific rules, like the one for SharePoint?

Good Credit Is Critical to Securing a Sound Financial Future
ICBA Offers Tips for Consumers to Maintain Good Credit During Tough Economic Times
Washington, D.C. (May 18, 2009)—The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) encourages consumers to turn to their local community bank to learn how to establish and maintain good credit during these economically challenging times. Good credit is essential to a secure and sound financial future and plays a major role in qualifying for various loans.
"Having solid credit can help customers achieve their financial goals—it's paramount to any financial plan—especially in this challenging economic environment," said R. Michael Menzies, ICBA chairman and president and CEO of Easton Bank and Trust Co., Easton, Md. "Our nation's more than 8,000 community banks are an excellent resource and often offer programs within their communities to help customers understand how to establish credit and manage their finances."
In addition to talking with a local community bank, ICBA offers the following tips to help consumers protect their credit standing during these tough economic times:
- Always pay all of your bills on time. A late payment on a credit card, loan or even your telephone bill can be enough to put you in an at-risk category and possibly trigger adverse actions.
- Whenever possible, pay more than the minimum payment owed (for example, 150 percent of the minimum) to pay off the balance faster and save on finance charges. If you pay just the minimum every month on high-interest loans and credit cards, it can be interpreted as a sign of financial distress. If you are having trouble making payments on your loans or credit card accounts, contact your community banker to let him or her know about your current financial situation. Your community banker may be able to help.
- Avoid excessive credit inquiries by selectively applying for credit. Recent credit inquiries show up on your credit report and can be red flags that you may be strapped for cash. So only allow your credit report to be pulled when it's absolutely necessary.
- Avoid maxing out and requesting credit limit increases on credit cards for extended periods. A third of your credit score is based on how close you are to your credit card limits. Try not to use more than 30 percent of available credit on credit cards. Also, be mindful that card issuers might interpret asking for an increase on your credit limit as a sign that you are struggling to make ends meet.
"Customers should take advantage of the programs offered at their local community banks to help manage their funds appropriately," Menzies said. "Community banking is a relationship business. We work with our customers every day and throughout their lifetimes to provide financial services. We make sure they have the tools necessary to achieve long-term financial security."

brief history
Distillery FC A brief history
Distillery is Ireland's oldest professional football club. Its story
begins with Robert Baxter. Baxter moved from Banbridge to Belfast's Grosvenor
Street in 1878. A keen cricketer, he became friendly with some of the employees
of the nearby Royal Irish Distillery and, in the summer of 1879, they formed
the V.R. Distillery Cricket Club under his captaincy.
By the end of 1880, the members of the cricket club decided to form a football club in order to stay active during the winter months: Distillery Football Club was born and held its first practice session on 20 November 1880. The directors of Dunville's, especially James Barr, took great interest in the club from the start. They agreed to fill in a waste pond at the back of the distillery to make a ground for the team. The ground, Daisy Hill, was elevated several feet above sea level. Because it was filled in, it was soon known in the community under several nicknames such as 'Cinder Park' and 'Coke Yard'.
On 11 December, Distillery F.C. played its first match there against Dundela, winning 1-0. During the 1882-3 season the team moved from Daisy Hill to a larger ground at Broadway. James Barr paid for the move of the club (including a new pavilion and changing facilities) from Broadway to Grosvenor Park, close to Daisy Hill. In 1923 Distillery FC moved to York Park as Dunvilles decided to sell the Grosvenor Park ground. However in 1929 the firm agreed to re-lease the ground back to Distillery FC in a generous gesture as the club's premises in York Park had been blown down in a gale and a deputation had asked for help. Further testament to the close link between the distillery and the club, another of Dunville's directors, Robert Grimshaw Dunville, donated a cup to the Irish Football Association in 1894 to be competed for by the major teams. Originally called the Dunville's Cup, this cup was later renamed the City Cup. Ironically, it wasn't until 1905 that Distillery FC would win its 'own' City Cup.
From winning their first piece of silverware, the Irish Cup, by beating Wellington Park 5-0 in April 1884, Distillery Football Club grew into a major football force in Ireland in the late 19th and the early part of the 20th century. Their first overseas foray was to Scotland in December 1884 and ended in a 0-4 defeat to Harp of Dundee. Five years later, they achieved a 2-1 win over the English club Newton Heath which, is now known as Manchester United.
The club's finest hour in European competitions was undoubtedly the 3-3 draw at home in 1963 against the Portuguese club Benfica, certainly in those days among the strongest European club teams. Former England International Tom Finney came out of retirement to play for Distillery FC - it was the only time that he played in the European Cup in his illustrious career.
Distillery FC suffered during the Troubles. In 1971, a firebomb attack caused Grosvenor Park to burn down and the club was forced to vacate the grounds it had called home for most of its existence. Not only did the fire eliminate the grounds, it also destroyed most of the club's records. After sharing grounds with a number of clubs for almost a decade, Distillery FC found a new home ground at Ballyskeagh Road, Lambeg in 1980. To symbolise the club's rising from the flames, a new badge was designed featuring a phoenix on a football. This badge replaced the original simple white 'DFC' shield.
In 1995, Distillery FC was relegated to the newly-formed First Division. In 1999 they won the First Division Championship and with it promotion back to the Premier League. Later that year, the club's name was officially changed to Lisburn Distillery and the 'rising phoenix' badge replaced with one incorporating Lisburn's coat of arms. Lisburn Distillery continues to compete in the Irish Premier League.

1 cup
slivered almonds
2 cloves
garlic, minced
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
Dijon mustard
1/4 cup
raspberry vinegar
2 tablespoons
balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons
brown sugar
1 cup
vegetable oil
1 head
romaine lettuce, torn
1 pint
fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup
crumbled feta cheese
YUMMY! I loved it, i added half the oil and it ws very good. I also make it with green apples and dried cranberries since strawberries aren't in season. excellent!
I didn't really like the combo of strawberries and feta, however I liked the dressing. I used half of the oil it called for and I substituted olive oil. Won't do the salad again but will make the dressing.
419 Ratings
Yum, substitute the dressing for 0 carb rasberry vinegarette for Atkins folks. I served it to both low carb dieters and normal eaters by serving the dressings on the side.
This was the perfect salad for a dinner I went to. One of the women there ate at least 5 bowls! I served the dressing on the side so everyone could just put however much they wanted on. I also used "Spring Mix" pre-packed lettuce instead of Romaine.
What a pretty and delicious salad. Instead of almonds I used coarsely chopped pecans, but I still roasted them per the directions. I used the pre-cut romaine salad in a bag - could have used two bags since I had more of the other ingredients than I needed for 1 bag of lettuce. I wouldn't dump all the dressing on at once since it makes a generous amount even for 2 bags of salad. I tossed some in then put the rest in a cruet for people to add. Don't hesitate to serve this at your dinner parties - my neighbor asked for the recipe! Thanks for posting it!
This is a great salad you'll want to make again and again.Some people may be confused by the combination but after one bite they'll change their mind.I use the raspberry vinagrette in The Harvest Salad recipe.Yum!
My mother and I both loved this salad. The sharpness of the feta balanced the sweet strawberries perfectly! The only problem I had was that the dressing was too heavy; I think reducing the oil a bit might help.
My husband and I don't agree on many food items, but we both really enjoyed this salad. We did use cider vinegar instead... I just can't buy another vinegar bottle! Very, very good. And a nice short cut, buy the almonds already roasted and packaged in the salad area. Will definitly put in our favorites!

Sounders ready to keep rolling in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES - Sunday: No. 3 Seattle Sounders FC At No. 4 Los Angeles Galaxy
Time: 6 p.m.
Where: Home Depot Center, Carson, Calif.
Radio: 97.3 FM
Regular season leaders: For Seattle: G 14, Eddie Johnson; A 13, Mauro Rosales; S 126, Fredy Montero; SOG 46, Montero; GAA 0.73, Michael Gspurning. For L.A.: G 16, Robbie Keane; A 14, Landon Donovan; S 94, Keane; SOG 43, Keane; GAA, 1.33, Josh Saunders.
Head to head: Los Angeles leads 4-3-2 in MLS regular season play. The Sounders swept at home this season: 2-0 on May 2 and 4-0 on Aug. 5, but lost 1-0 at Home Depot Center on Oct. 28. The Galaxy won the only previous playoff series, in the 2010 first round.
Notes: This is first of a two-game, aggregate-score series for the MLS Western Conference championship. The series winner advances to the MLS Cup final Dec. 1. ... Sounders midfielder Mauro Rosales and defender Leo Gonzalez are doubtful but are on pace to play in the return leg. ... Sounders defender Marc Burch is unavailable after being fined and suspended for three games by the league Saturday for his use of a gay slur during the Real Salt Lake match Thursday. He issued an apology through the club Friday. ... Seattle's Brad Evans, Jeff Parke and Osvaldo Alonso are one caution away from yellow-card suspension, as are the Galaxy's David Beckham and Omar Gonzalez. ... The referee is Jair Marrufo. ... A sellout crowd of around 27,000 is expected.
Quotable: "We're playing our third game in basically eight days, and I think (the Galaxy) are playing their fourth game in 10. Early on in the game they're going to come at us for sure; because that's just the way (coach Bruce Arena) is, and that's the way they'll be. I think they'll tire a bit in the second half, and hopefully that will come to our advantage." — Sounders coach Sigi Schmid.
Next: The series concludes 6 p.m. Nov. 18 at CenturyLink Field.
Major League Soccer's new playoff formula was built to reward higher seeds, but it may not have worked out that way for the series that begins Sunday between the No. 3 Seattle Sounders FC and the No. 4 Los Angeles Galaxy.
The Galaxy open the series at home and with an extra day of rest, while the Sounders' have been traveling more than training since advancing Thursday at Real Salt Lake.
"There's time when you could say, 'OK that would give an advantage to an L.A. because it's been a lot more hectic with our travel day when they've been settled down and got back home after their game on Wednesday," Sounders coach Sigi Schmid said. "... They were sleeping in their own beds, they're settled."
Schmid said that in a Saturday morning conference call squeezed between clearing security and boarding the team charter to California.
He added a positive spin to the Sounders' situation.
He figures his players were flying high — even before boarding that jet — due to their series-clinching 1-0 win at RSL. When his team has forward momentum, the last thing Schmid wants is a lull to break it.
"Sometimes when things are hectic you get on a roll and you keep rolling forward and you keep going," he said. "You sort of just, 'Hey, just another day, and let's get it done and lets move on.' And sometimes that's not the worst thing either. I've been involved with teams both ways, and I think the most important thing is not overly focus on it. Take what comes at you ... and turn it into a positive."
After a couple of low-seeded MLS Cup winners in recent years, the league reconfigured a playoff format built to reward achievement over the 34-game regular season. Only the top five finishers in each conference qualified. The fourth and fifth finishers had to meet in a single-elimination play-in game. The top seeds awaited their reward of playing the lowest-seeded survivor — with more rest and with home pitch advantage.
Well, it sounded good at the time...
Top seeded San Jose was eliminated on its home pitch against Los Angeles, while second-seeded RSL went down at home to Seattle.
Something similar happened in the Eastern Conference, where No. 2 seed D.C. United opens its series Sunday at No. 5 seed Houston for the right to meet the Western champion in MLS Cup on Dec. 1.
It remains to be seen if that extra play-in game finally catches up with either the Dynamo or the Galaxy.
"When you have players like that — with that much international experience and that kind of veteran savvy — the additional game, they know how to manage those situations," Schmid said. "They pick and choose, maybe, their moments on when to run, when to make your movements and then make them a lot more impactful. That comes with experiences. I'm not worried about them playing the extra game right now."
One area where a longer break might have benefited the Sounders is in terms of health. Schmid indicated that midfielder Mauro Rosales (hamstring) and defender Leo Gonzalez (hamstring) are both doubtful, although both are expected back for the resolution game Nov. 18 in Seattle.
Schmid said forward Eddie Johnson, who returned at RSL after a leg injury, and midfielder Christian Tiffert, who suffered a head cut in that game, are both available.
The bigger consideration may simply be the general fitness of players who went long minutes in Utah.
"It might determine a couple of personnel decisions, in terms of who we play or start just because of the turnaround and the game being quicker from the last game being quicker," Schmid said. "So it might determine that part of it, but overall it's not going to be a major impact on our decision."

Review by IGN
"…All told, Mass Effect 3 is an absolutely amazing game, one that successfully puts a bow on the Mass Effect trilogy while still leaving us hungry for even more. It looks and plays great, but Mass Effect 3's true strength lies in its ability to tell a deeply-woven story. Better yet, the sheer ambition shown by BioWare in announcing an intersecting trilogy complete with save importation becomes fully realized in Mass Effect 3. BioWare deserves applause for not only having the courage to attempt something like the Mass Effect trilogy, but for pulling it off with such exceptional poise and skill. Mass Effect 3 isn't the best game ever made. But it'll certainly be in the conversation for a very long time to come." 9.5/10

Gamba Osaka have the confidence of a three-goal buffer to continue playing their uninhibited attacking football in the deciding leg of the AFC Champions' League final against Adelaide United here on Wednesday.
The prmier Asian club football crown is Gamba's to lose, as they close in on becoming the second consecutive Japanese winner of the title, following Urawa Reds' triumph last year.
Gamba, currently seventh in the J-League, all but sealed the destiny of this year's trophy with an emphatic 3-0 win over Adelaide in Osaka last week, and only a defensive calamity can wreck their dream of Asian success. The team's stars, Brazilian striker Lucas and Japanese international midfielder Yasuhito Endo, did the early damage before Michihiro Yasuda added a third for the home team.
Gamba are admired for their silky passing game, and are confident of wrapping up the final on Adelaide's compact Hindmarsh Stadium on Wednesday. "We've come here to play our normal game," Lucas said on the team's arrival on Monday. "."
Coach Akira Nishino is expecting an all-or-nothing assault by Adelaide before their home fans, but he wants his team to stick with their intoxicating brand of attacking football. "We have won through the series by playing aggressively, hoping to show a difference from last year's champions (Urawa)," said Nishino, whose side finished off Urawa 4-2 on aggregate in the ACL semi-finals. "We will play even better with a comfortable lead."
Free-kick specialist Endo, who has played 72 times for his country, is keen to impress on the football world the skill of Japanese football. "I wish we emerge the winners having people say, 'Oh, Japanese football is skilful,'" he said. Gamba's scoring spree last week was significant, as Adelaide had only conceded four goals in their previous 10 matches in this year's Champions League.
Adelaide coach Aurelio Vidmar is clinging to the faint hope that his team can produce something extraordinary on the night, and become the first Australian team to win the Asian club title. "I still think you've truly got to believe in it," Vidmar said. "There's still every possibility, and in football you don't know what's going to happen.
"So we're going to go out there, be aggressive, really take it up to them and hopefully with a bit of luck we can get an early goal, and then you just don't know what can happen."
Adelaide go into the match without experienced defender Angelo Costanzo and in-form goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic, who are both suspended after receiving yellow cards in Osaka. Midfielder Paul Reid, who is available for selection after missing the Osaka leg with a groin injury, said Adelaide must have the belief to pull off a football miracle.
"To come back would be a monumental task, but the boys are up to it. We have nothing to lose," Reid said. "We can only do what we can do, and if we've got enough belief, we can win."

Bad Breath on a Talk Show
January 31, 2011 - Fresh Breath Happenings
Recently, E! TV s website posted a short clip of an episode of the Dr. Oz show where Dr. Oz smells a woman s breath and clearly taken aback by it. While it is a funny scene, and no doubt embarrassing for the woman, Dr. Oz does state that bad breath may be a warning sign of something else and is no laughing matter. It is definitely true that bad breath is not something to be ignored; it may be a symptom of one or more of the following conditions.
One in five Germans has halitosis
January 29, 2011 - Fresh Breath Happenings

Foods with preservatives may reduce bad breath, study finds
January 26, 2011 - The Science of Bad Breath
It is well established that savory or pungent foods can cause halitosis.

An increasing number of healthcare professionals are beginning to recommend oral probiotic supplements as a way to rid the body of the microorganisms that cause halitosis.
Company handbook prohibits garlic breath, onion breath
January 26, 2011 - Fresh Breath Happenings
Co-workers with chronic halitosis can be a nightmare to deal with, particularly if they are your superior.

Bad breath can be caused by, and visible in, the cold
January 19, 2011 - Fresh Breath Happenings
During winter, it may not be easy to smell when you have bad breath, even though you can often see it steaming in front of you.

Its accuracy notwithstanding, the film highlighted a common cause of bad breath - cold weather.
E-cigarettes, nicotine may still cause bad breath
January 18, 2011 - Oral Care Tips and Advice
A relatively new tobacco product on the market called the e-cigarette is often claimed to reduce nearly all the negative side effects of smoking, including cancers, lung disease and bad breath. Virtually none of these health claims have been verified. And while e-cigarettes take the smoke out of smoking, they do not remove the nicotine, which may still cause halitosis.
Bad breath may be used to diagnose illnesses, experts say

Tonsil stones can grow to unusual size, cause bad breath
January 18, 2011 - The Science of Bad Breath
One of the many potential causes of bad breath is the tonsil stone, a collection of collagen and food matter at the back of the throat that forms a pungent ball or "stone." A French study conducted in 2007 found that approximately 6 percent of people have tonsil stones large enough to be detected on medical imaging scans.
Dental authority says halitosis may point to oral disease
January 18, 2011 - Oral Care Tips and Advice
Among its health topics pages, the American Dental Association (ADA) lists "bad breath (halitosis)" as a significant oral care problem.

Tongue scraping reduces but can't eliminate bad breath
January 18, 2011 - Oral Care Tips and Advice
Many of the bacteria that cause bad breath live where it is difficult to reach them - the tongue. Although you can vigorously brush your tongue when you brush your teeth, there is no guarantee that this will eliminate the millions of germs that live there. However, a tongue scraper can get at some, though not all, of those microorganisms responsible for your halitosis.
Emmy Rossum says co-star intentionally cultivates bad breath
January 18, 2011 - Fresh Breath Happenings

The origin and evolution of
January 18, 2011 - Oral Care Tips and Advice
While bad breath has existed as long as there have been mouths to produce it and noses to detect it, the idea that it comes from specific causes and should be taken seriously is fairly recent. The word "halitosis" was coined in 1874, and dental researchers and oral health experts have been refining its causes ever since.
Bad breath-causing tonsil stones are living biofilms, scientists say
January 18, 2011 - The Science of Bad Breath
Among the many things that can cause halitosis, tonsil stones are some of the smelliest. Found in the back of the throat, these small white granules are caused by the buildup up food particles in the folds of tonsils. Researchers have said that the bad breath-causing stones are actually made of a dense film of living things.
Smoking, chewing tobacco contribute to bad breath in many ways
January 18, 2011 - Oral Care Tips and Advice

Researchers say one bacterium responsible for most halitosis
January 11, 2011 - Oral Care Tips and Advice
Biological physicists at the University of Buffalo's School of Medicine reported that a strain of bacteria that emits volatile sulfur compounds may be the cause of a significant amount of human halitosis.
Medications and Dry Mouth
January 10, 2011 - Fresh Breath Happenings
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention s (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics more than half of all Americans take some type of prescription drug. Many drugs list dry mouth and taste disorders as side effects. A little halitosis or a slight change in the ability to taste may not be a big deal compared to ailment or disorder the medication treats, but it may be off-putting to those around you and is treatable.
EPA recommends reducing cavity- and halitosis-fighting chemical in drinking water
January 8, 2011 - Oral Care Industry News
Fluoride, a chemical additive in public water supplies, has been reducing tooth decay and associated bad breath for decades in the U.S. Now the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have officially suggested that it only be added to drinking water at the minimum recommended level.

It's not too often that you can get a free book, but here's an opportunity to obtain one! Logos is offering a free e-copy of C. E. B. Cranfield's On Romans and Other New Testament Essays for free
The digital age is upon us and that means that there is a publishing revolution that is afoot. It used to be that seminary students and ministers had to make a lot of space on their bookshelves for all of the tomes they wanted to own, but with the creation of the e-book, all of a sudden things have changed.
One of the regular questions I receive is, What book would you recommend to study the history of covenant theology? Up until now there have been very few books that took a comprehensive survey of covenantal thought in Reformed theology in the 16th and 17th centuries. There have been some books on individual figures, which are certainly helpful, but nothing comprehensive.
We have seen the nature, benefits, and even the dangers when misused, of Reformed Scholasticism. Moreover, we have seen Reformed Scholasticism receiving the praise from two theologians who carry no brief for orthodox theology, Karl Barth and Paul Tillich.
We do not simply want to admire Reformed Scholasticism and then return it to the dusty library shelf. On the contrary, Reformed Scholastic works can be quite helpful to the church for several reasons. First, the church can benefit from the precision of Reformed scholasticism and use the scholastic method in new theological works.

Jazz improvisation, piano improvising, music harmony and theory
MIOP means Musilosophy Improvisation Open Project.
"Improvisation means real time composing...
Improvisation means composing new ideas...".
Music bases on harmony.
Melody and improvisation base on chords and scales.
Accompaniment base on chords and scales too.
Chords base on scales.
Scales base on physic, mathematical principles and music traditions.
Music traditions base on human perception, technology, economy, history, religion.
You need to know the following items to improvise and compose in a right and nice way:
first you have to know all major and minor scales and relative keys and all chords in every keys. Then you must play all chord inversions and the building melody techniques.
You have to practice so much so you can play right melodic lines with swing and without thinking about scales, rules, keys...
Phrasing is the following step.
You must learn to begin and finish melodic phrases from every point of measure.
Ear training, transcribing, music harmony, transposing, voicing, harmonization are other important and fundamental techniques to learn jazz improvisation and composing.
These techniques can give you the skill for express the music you have inside.
Learning jazz improvisation is not simple. The theory and harmonic concepts you have to learn are few and easy to understand but the fundamental concept is just one: to learn improvisation you have to play much and practice for a longtime!
I used to compare improvisation with language. Improvisation is a language, you can express ideas, concepts and emotions and sometimes much deeper than language. So, as well as you have to study and practice a lot to learn English or French or Italian so you have to do the same with music improvisation.
You do not need to understand difficult concepts but without doubts you must be patient. Here in this site I offer free resources to learn this art but be patient if my English is not perfect.
I have published also another site to learn music theory and harmony

Howard Dean has done a lot in his 60 years. He's been the Governor of Vermont, a candidate for President, and the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. However, many don't realize that he's was also a practicing physician.
Yet, as the health care reform battle roared back to the national stage this year, Howard Dean's experience as a doctor was suddenly more than a stump speech slogan. Dr. Dean, with experience in politics and medicine, was uniquely positioned to inform the national debate on not only health reform, but health care itself.
And so, the good doctor (with some help from Faiz Shakir and Igor Volsky over at Think Progress) wrote a book, Howard Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform.
Dr. Dean's Prescription accomplishes a few important tasks. First, Dean outlines why we need reform in the first place, with stark facts and stories making the case that everyone – workers, children, businesses, and government – needs health reform. More importantly, he outlines the trouble with private health insurance:
The problem with private health insurance, particularly in the individual market, is not just that it is inadequate; it also stems from companies having to report quarterly profits that must increase every year to satisfy Wall Street. In order to do so, they often have to cut benefits.
Private, for-profit insurance companies must meet two obligations that are often mutually exclusive:
- Their fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximize profits.
- Their responsibility to their customers to give good service
Increasingly, the former is maintained at the expense of the latter.
Dean goes on to lay out his "prescription" for health reform to fix our health care system. In a slogan: PO or NO. According to Dr. Dean, without a public health insurance option, it's not health care reform. I agree.
Part three of Dean's book lays out who's standing in the way of health reform and why. He identifies the lobbies and special interests working against reform – folks like AHIP and the NFIB. Not only is the opposition identified, but their objections to health reform are debunked and their true intentions revealed. Not surprisingly, those true intentions are either profit or ideological conservatism.
Dr. Dean then busts myths about health reform, debunking misinformation about health care in other countries and about the plans put forward in Congress. The chapter "Eleven Myths" is something everyone should print out to give to those they meet who are wary of reform or who have swallowed the lies. The case Dean makes is persuasive.
Finally, Dean asks the reader to take action by organizing themselves and their communities. Dean and his publisher, Chelsea Green Publishing, have taken the idea a step farther, however. They've created an iPhone application to accompany the book (available here [iTunes link]) which not only contains the book, but helps you call your Senators and Representatives, post information to Facebook and Twitter, and spread the word to your friends. As a new media person, I'm impressed to see new technology being used in this way, especially given that the iPhone market is only growing.
Overall, the book is written in Dean's characteristic no-nonsense style. It knows what it wants to say, it gets to the point quickly, and it makes a forceful case not only for health reform, but for real health reform. Throughout, Dean's personal experiences with medicine, the legislative process, and politics shine through. And that's the key to tying this book together.
If Dean were just a doctor, his ideas on how to pass health reform and who's standing in the way would be underdeveloped. And if Dean were just a governor, his ideas on how politicians work would be less credible. And if Dean were just a former chairman of the DNC, his ideas on what real people need would be out of touch. But he's all three: Practitioner, politician, and party leader. It is really a unique position in the current debate, and a position that should lend Dean's ideas more credence both out in the states and inside the beltway.
Dr. Dean's Prescription for Real Healthcare Reform describes a reformed health care system that works for you and me, and attacks the special interests battling against it. It's a book I wish more Members of Congress would read right now as they decide the fate of our health care system.
Maybe you should send yours a copy?

Reorganize the way machine architectures are handled. Consolidate the kernel configurations into a single generic directory. Move machine-specific Makefile's and loader scripts into the appropriate architecture directory. Kernel and module builds also generally add sys/arch to the include path so source files that include architecture-specific headers do not have to be adjusted. sys/<ARCH> -> sys/arch/<ARCH> sys/conf/*.<ARCH> -> sys/arch/<ARCH>/conf/*.<ARCH> sys/<ARCH>/conf/<KERNEL> -> sys/config/<KERNEL>
Add two KTR (kernel trace) options: KTR_GIANT_CONTENTION and KTR_SPIN_CONTENTION. These will cause MP lock contention and spin lock contention to be KTR-logged.
Clean up some minor typos in comments. Submitted-by: Michal Belczyk <firstname.lastname@example.com>
ICU/APIC cleanup part 9/many. Get rid of machine/smptests.h, remove or implement the related #defines. Distinguish between boot-time vector initialization and interrupt setup and teardown in MACHINTR ABI. Get rid of the ISR test for APIC-generated interrupts and all related support code. Just generate the EOI and pray. Document more of the IO APIC redirection register(s). Intel sure screwed up the LAPIC and IO APIC royally. There is no simple way to poll the actual signal level on a pin, no simple way to manually EOI interrupts or EOI them in the order we desire, no simple way to poll the LAPIC for the vector that will be EOI'd when we send the EOI. We can't mask the interrupt on the IO APIC without triggering stupid legacy code on some machines. We can't even program the IO APIC linearly, it uses a stupid register/data sequence that makes it impossible for access on an SMP system without serialization. It's a goddamn mess, and it is all Intel's fault.
ICU/APIC cleanup part 1/many. Move ICU and APIC support files into their own subdirectory, bump the required config version for the build since this move also requires the use of the new arch/ symlink.
Minor word-smithing.
Fix a number of SMP issues. * Add required pause instructions in code paths that skip running "HLT". This occurs when e.g. cpu #1 is running code with the BGL while cpu #2's only runnable thread requires the BGL. cpu #2's LWKT scheduler spins in that case. Similar situations can occur when the only runnable threads on a cpu are waiting for a token. * Add required pause instructions to spin loops. DragonFly has very few spin locks (e.g. things like com_lock()) but its a good idea anyway to avoid known livelock issues on Intel cpus. * Fix a pending interrupt / HLT race. We were not atomically retiring pending interrupts prior to potentially HLTing the cpu. This could result in an SMP machine's network locking up until a key is hit on the console, then magically resuming. Lockups-reported-by: Peter Avalos <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Update all my personal copyrights to the Dragonfly Standard Copyright.
Fix spelling in comment.
Synchronize a bunch of things from FreeBSD-5 in preparation for the new ACPICA driver support. * Bring in a lot of new bus and pci DEV_METHODs from FreeBSD-5 * split apic.h into apicreg.h and apicio.h * rename INTR_TYPE_FAST -> INTR_FAST and move the #define * rename INTR_TYPE_EXCL -> INTR_EXCL and move the #define * rename some PCIR_ registers and add additional macros from FreeBSD-5 * note: new pcib bus call, host_pcib_get_busno() imported. * kern/subr_power.c no longer optional. Other changes: * machine/smp.h machine smp/smptests.h can now be #included unconditionally, and some APIC_IO vs SMP separation has been done as well. * gd_acpi_id and gd_apic_id added to machine/globaldata.h prep for new ACPI code. Despite all the changes, the generated code should be virtually the same. These were mostly additions which the pre-existing code does not (yet) use.
General cleanups as part of the libcaps userland threading work.
Fix a number of mp_lock issues. I had outsmarted myself trying to deal with td->td_mpcount / mp_lock races. The new rule is: you first modify td->td_mpcount, then you deal with mp_lock assuming that an interrupt might have already dealt with it for you, and various other pieces of code deal with the race if an interrupt occurs in the middle of the above two data accesses.
Fix a minor compile-time errors when INVARIANTS is not defined.
MP Implmentation 3A/4: Fix stupid bug introduced in last commit.
MP Implmentation 3A/4: Cleanup MP lock operations to allow the MP lock to occassionally be out of synch from td_mpcount, so we don't have to disable interrupts and so we can call try_mplock() from the middle of a switch function.
MP Implmentation 3/4: MAJOR progress on SMP, full userland MP is now working! A number of issues relating to MP lock operation have been fixed, primarily that we have to read %cr2 before get_mplock() since get_mplock() may switch away. Idlethreads can now safely HLT without any performance detriment. The userland scheduler has been almost completely rewritten and is now using an extremely flexible abstraction with a lot of room to grow. pgeflag has been removed from mapdev (without per-page invalidation it isn't safe to use PG_G even on UP). Necessary locked bus cycles have been added for the pmap->pm_active field in swtch.s. CR3 has been unoptimized for the moment (see comment in swtch.s). Since the switch code runs without the MP lock we have to adjust pm_active PRIOR to loading %cr3. Additional sanity checks have been added to the code (see PARANOID_INVLTLB and ONLY_ONE_USER_CPU in the code), plus many more in kern_switch.c. A passive release mechanism has been implemented to optimize P_CURPROC/lwkt priority shifting when going from user->kernel and kernel->user. Note: preemptive interrupts don't care due to the way preemption works so no additional complexity there. non-locking atomic functions to protect only against local interrupts have been added. astpending now uses non-locking atomic functions to set and clear bits. private_tss has been moved to a per-cpu variable. The LWKT thread module has been considerably enhanced and cleaned up, including some fixes to handle MPLOCKED vs td_mpcount races (so eventually we can do MP locking without a pushfl/cli/popfl combo). stopevent() needs critical section protection, maybe.
MP Implementation 2/4: Implement a poor-man's IPI messaging subsystem, get both cpus arbitrating the BGL for interrupts, IPIing foreign cpu LWKT scheduling requests without crashing, and dealing with the cpl. The APs are in a slightly less degenerate state now, but hardclock and statclock distribution is broken, only one user process is being scheduled at a time, and priorities are all messed up.
MP Implementation 1/2: Get the APIC code working again, sweetly integrate the MP lock into the LWKT scheduler, replace the old simplelock code with tokens or spin locks as appropriate. In particular, the vnode interlock (and most other interlocks) are now tokens. Also clean up a few curproc/cred sequences that are no longer needed. The APs are left in degenerate state with non IPI interrupts disabled as additional LWKT work must be done before we can really make use of them, and FAST interrupts are not managed by the MP lock yet. The main thing for this stage was to get the system working with an APIC again. buildworld tested on UP and 2xCPU/MP (Dell 2550)
