I bet that many a New York Ranger fan was enjoying every
second of the Ranger's 7-2 beating of the Montreal Canadians in game one of the
Eastern Conference Finals. Please by all means enjoy the win as Lord knows how
many times that the ghosts of Montreal's past have led to nightmare losses.
Savor the win because it was a classic textbook coaching job
by Alain Vigneault as he couldn't make a bad move in having to cover for the
loss of Derek Brassard who was injured on his very first shift of the game. But
come Monday night discard everything you will remember about this win when game
two starts.
As much as we want to believe what the Rangers did to the
Canadians was the beginning of some kind of magical four game sweep, that won't
be the case. If anything the Rangers still have some demons that they need to address
before they will win this series.
Pretty sure Ranger fans will get sick of hearing about the
Ranger's 13 game losing streak when they have had a lead in the series just as
they will that the Rangers have lost 8 straight game two's. I sadly have one
more demon to add as in 1979, the Rangers would shock the Canadians in game one
4-1 only to lose the next 4 games and the Stanley Cup.
Call it a coincidence but that year Montreal would defeat
the Boston Bruins in the semifinals and the underdog Rangers would knock off
regular season champions the New York Islanders. Game one was a Ranger delight
but unknown to Ranger fans and (rumor has it) players and coach was that Ranger
goalie John Davidson hurt his groin. The Canadians had little trouble winning
the next 4 games to deny the Rangers a Stanley Cup.
Let's enjoy this win because Sunday will be a sad day for
the Ranger universe as Marty St. Louis will be attending the funeral of his
mother France St. Louis. That the entire Ranger team and staff will be in
attendance screams volumes about how this tragic event has united the team.
That is why we should savor this win because of how hard it
must have been for St. Louis to have played knowing that one day later he would
be burying his mother. That St. Louis scored the first goal in this series also
speaks about the leadership and character that he has.
Maybe we should hold off on handing Ryan McDonagh the "C"
just yet as maybe the Ranger franchise might benefit from having St. Louis as
their captain even if it is for one season. Think about it for a second as look
at the impact that St. Louis has already had in such a short period of time
with the Rangers.
Now imagine what a full season with St. Louis could do for
the entire team? It gives McDonagh (who will turn 25 in June) a year to be the "heir
apparent" and allows him to slowly move into the duties as captain.
But before we forget the game let's enjoy these highlights:
Dom Moore deserves a contract extension more than anyone
else as where would the Rangers be without his play in the playoffs? Answer:
playing golf by now so sign him Glen before he decides to test the free agent
Rick Nash finally scored and how he scored is proving that
he needs to be facing (attacking) the net as the Canadians do not have an
answer for how to stop an attacking Rick Nash.
2:51 decided this game as the Rangers scoring 2 goals in the
first period in a span of 2:02 and then 2 more goals in a span of 49 seconds in
the second period just sucked the life out of the Canadians. Stick tap to the
Rangers for remembering to stay composed and not respond to Montreal's attempts
to goad them into taking penalties.
Brian Boyle who is making so hard to dislike the player
formerly known as Mr. Softee stepping into the center spot after Derek Brassard
was hurt and then going a game best 9-2 on faceoffs. Add in a blocked shot and a take away and
Boyle played a "Broadway Hat" game.
Alain Vigneault playing the role of chess grandmaster to
Montreal coach Michel Therrien coaching like he was playing checkers. The
masterful way that Vigneault split up Derek Brassard's shifts kept Montreal off
balance for most of the game. The Canadians were expecting one set of lines and
Vigneault was coaching like he was playing "now you see them, now you don't."
Henrik Lundqvist wasn't really tested and the Rangers
holding the Canadians to just 22 shots will pay dividends as this series moves
forward. After playing as much as he has in the previous 2 series to have a
laugher like this was helps give Henrik some badly needed rest.
Now that you have enjoyed the game one win it is time to
close the book on the win. On Sunday remember to make sure to tell those who
mean the most to you how much they mean to you. As we have witnessed by the
passing of France St. Louis, in a second they could be gone and you will never
get that chance again.

E.T.: co-hosted by Slashfilm
Alamo Drafthouse is recreating the "Summer of 1982" to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the greatest summer of movies… ever! From May through July, the theater will replicate 1982's earth-shaking release schedule, screening eight of the biggest genre classics on the same weekends they were released exactly 30 years ago.
Why did we EVER love E.T.? When he first showed up in the cornfield, he scared the hell out of us. Then later, when he was sick in that creek bed, he made us cry like little sissy babies. Plus he looks like something that fell off of Danny DeVito. But something about that gnarled little spud spoke to every tender-hearted moviegoer in the country, filling us with an interplanetary sense of love and wonder. Times have changed, science fiction movies have exploded into a bold new era of inflated budgets and computerized effects…and no spaceborne adventure has ever recaptured the undisputed magic of Spielberg's incredible, original boy-and-his-alien masterpiece. (Zack Carlson)
"In E.T., I found the first character with whom I could strongly identify. That's significant because, at the time, the existence of such a thing had never even occurred to me. Nearly ten, already entranced by LucasFilm productions, I was excited to see this new movie about a stranded alien. I got more than expected. The intensity of Steven Spielberg's stylized storytelling, and his faceless, shadowy authority figures, were nearly overwhelming. But in Elliott I found a near-mirror image: small, almost an outsider in a California suburb, dug into a burrow of a room that was a riot of Star Wars toys and space imagery. I wanted to be Luke Skywalker, but I thought I was Elliott. Crucial difference. Identification doesn't make a movie, but seeing the person I thought I was on screen, and seeing him face the unknown with eyes wide open, was more inspiring than watching any hero save the day. " (Russ Fischer, SLASHFILM)

Critter Control has Tennessee offices in Memphis, Nashville
Molesare in the same family as shrews and hedgehogs, and they are rarely seen above ground. So how can you be sure that you have a mole problem in your Tennessee yard? As they burrow just under the surface in search for food, moles in yards push up the surface of the soil, leaving raised mole tunnels and mounds in your yard. Another symptom of having moles in your yard is damaged plants and uprooted grass,due to the fact that moles love vegetated areas where the soil is looser.
The most effective way to remove molesfrom your yard is through mole trapping. Critter Control uses the most efficient and humane method of trapping the moles available. We also provide services to prevent moles from returning to your Tennessee home and repair the damage they have caused.
Raised mole tunnels are not only unsightly, they can also cause major damage to Tennessee homes! Call Critter Control today at 1-800-CRITTER if you suspect you have moles in your yard.

Rye couple remembered as caring, happy-to-help
Caring. Quick to help others. Hardworking. A bubbly laugh.
That's how friends and family describe and remember Reggie and Kim Tuttle and their daughter, Dawn Roderick — the Rye family members who were shot to death Nov. 27 in the Tuttle home in Rye.
A national manhunt is underway for Harry Mapps, 59, who reportedly was living with the Tuttles at the time they were shot to death and their house on Colorado 165 was set on fire. What appeared to be a suspicious house fire quickly turned into a homicide investigation when the bodies were found by Pueblo County sheriff investigators.
"I loved (Kim) the first time I met her," said Winnie Owens, a longtime friend and Rye neighbor said this week. "She just had this bubbly laugh and was such a terrific person. Kim and Reggie would help anyone who needed it. The hearts of everyone in this (Greenhorn) valley go out to that family."

So while everyone is procaiming the Broncos to be Superbowl champs already, let's take a look at their competition so far. The DPPG is Defensive Points Per Game. I took them from the NFL site today.
W - Ravens (3-4) - DPPG: 11th, OPPG: 21st
W - Giants (2-6) - DPPG: 27th, OPPG: 28th
W - Raiders (3-4) - DPPG: 13th, OPPG: 29th
W - Eagles (3-5) - DPPG: 24th, OPPG: 17th
W - Cowboys (4-4) - DPPG: 18th, OPPG: 3rd
W - Jaguars (0-8) - DPPG: 32nd, OPPG: 32nd
L - Colts (5-2) - DPPG: 7th, OPPG: 9th
W - Redskins (2-5) - DPPG: 31st, OPPG: 11th
Overall records: 22-28, .44
Patriots rankings: DPPG: 5th , OPPG: 15th
Broncos rankings: DPPG: 28th , OPPG: 1st
So it looks like they have played four of the worst ten defenses in their eight games. Other than the Colts and maybe the Ravens, all of the others are basically middle of the pack defenses.
As far as other offenses go, the Broncos have played three offenses ranked in the top half of the league. Three of the offenses they have faced are bottom five offenses.
The one team that they have played that is above .500 they lost to. The one team that they have played that is .500 they barely beat.
Manning's first four games he went 16TDs to 0 INTs and 1 fumble lost. His last four games he has gone 13TDs to 6INTs with 3 fumbles lost.
Winter is coming, folks. The Patriots have a defense and an improving offense, which is exactly what can beat this paper tiger. I seriously believe that the Pats will be in the mix come late January/early February.

Normal Immunological Parameters Among Healthy Volunteers in Kambila, Mali

- How to Read a Study Record
This study will determine the immune response to malaria infection in healthy volunteers compared with malaria patients. Malaria affects millions of people in Mali and Africa. It can cause fever, headaches, body aches, and weakness. Without treatment, the disease can be very serious in children. Developing an effective vaccine against the parasite that causes malaria is a crucial step toward controlling the disease; however, vaccines tested so far have provided very short-lived protection. A better understanding of the natural immunity to malaria may provide insight that can be applied to developing a more effective vaccine.
People 18 years of age or older who live in Kambila, Mali, and are in good health may be eligible for this study.
Participants undergo a complete physical examination at the start of the study and then once a year for the 4-year duration of the study. They have a maximum of nine clinic visits a year to collect blood samples for research. The visits last about one hour, including a 30-minute observation time after the blood draw.
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
|Official Title:
|Establishment of Normal Immunological Parameters Among Healthy Volunteers in Kambila, Mali
- Obtain blood samples from healthy Malian adults in order to establish normal immunologic parameters for this population and to optimize research assays performed at the MRTC. [ Time Frame: After enrollment, all volunteers will undergo a baseline medical history and physical examination, and will provide a blood sample for a malaria blood smear, and for a filter paper sample for P. falciparum polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2007
Malaria results in at least 2.7 million deaths per year, the majority among African children. The development of a vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum is regarded as a crucial step toward control of this disease. Unfortunately, vaccine candidates have resulted in short-lived protection at best. The ineffectiveness of current vaccines may reflect the kinetics of naturally acquired immunity to malaria in that multiple infections are required over years before partial protection is achieved and then immunity is lost, or becomes less effective, in the absence of recurrent infection. The mechanisms underlying the delayed acquisition and presumably rapid loss of humoral immunity are poorly understood. A more detailed understanding of these processes at the cellular level may be important for vaccine development. We are currently studying the cellular basis of humoral immunity to P. falciparum through research collaboration between the Malaria Research and Training Center (MRTC) in Bamako, Mali and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States. This protocol supports that research by ensuring a supply of blood samples from healthy Malian adults in order to establish normal immunologic parameters for this population and to optimize research assays performed at the MRTC.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 55 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Age 18 - 55 years.
Resident of Kambila.
Adequate venous access.
Willingness to allow blood samples to be stored and used for future studies of the immune response to malaria.
Ability to give informed consent and willingness to comply with study requirements and procedures.
Anemia (hemoglobin less than 11 g/dL).
Currently taking antimalarials, corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants.
Underlying heart disease, bleeding disorder, or other conditions that in the judgment of the Principal Investigator (PI) could increase the risk to the volunteer.
Fever greater than or equal to 37.5 degrees Celsius or evidence of an acute infection.
Current pregnancy, as determined by urine dipstick test for pregnancy.
Participation in another clinical protocol that requires the administration of an experimental vaccine or experimental treatment.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
"Look at those dry elbows," my wife said as she stared at a photo she had taken of me from the back when I was looking over a cliff somewhere in the San Rafael Swell. "You need lotion on those."
"Real men don't wear lotion," I said, knowing by saying that I was on the edge of a virtual precipice much steeper and deeper than the overlook I was hanging over in the photo. "It makes me feel all sticky and then it sinks in and doesn't do any good."
Those last four words were the fateful utterances. I had not just leapt off the cliff by speaking those, I was flung off it like I was being shot out of a circus cannon.
"You know your dad used to put lotion on all the time," said my wife, with a look in her eye like she was watching me fall into the abyss. "He knew that it helped his hands because they always got dry and cracked in the winter."
She had found my weak spot; my father. There were a lot of things in life that my father and I had not agreed on, but he always did the right thing. He was a quiet hero to me. She had me, because what she said was the truth, but I still had to find a way out of that literally sticky situation.
"Yeah, well he had dry hands because he was in water everyday of the week at work and it was particularly bad when the weather got cold and dry," I said. My dad was a dairy farmer for 60 years and he was the guy who took care of all the milkers and utensils in the barn twice a day, cleaning them with very hot water and loads of strong chemicals to be sure they were clean for the next use. I remember times when I was a kid that his hands used to just bleed from the cracks. "He had to do something to protect his hands. Besides he used some kind of lotion that moisturized his hands without making him smell like a bunch of dead roses."
"You need to use lotion," she said once again as she walked away toward the TV room. "But I am not going to force you; you are a grown up and you know what is best for you."
I was steamed. She had not only mentioned my revered father but she had used the "grown up" words. I have found in my life that in general women regard most men to not be much more than 10 year old boys that have put on more fat and a bunch of wrinkles. That grown up comment fit right into that type of thinking.
As she was watching the Ghost Whisperer in the other room I went in the bathroom; the one with the big mirrors. I wanted to examine my elbows. Sure they were dry; but what do you expect of a part of the body that was all wrinkled and funny looking before I could even say my first word. That part of my arm hadn't changed in 56 years so why should they be changed now.
"This is how real elbows should look," I said to myself.
I looked at my hands and saw they were cracked and dry too. I too have my hands in water a lot, but for a different reason. I am one of those people who needs to wash my hands before I wash my hands. And then sometimes I wash them one more time. Consequently the cold, dry air is tough on them.
Later that night I had just gone to bed and was watching Jay Leno when my wife came in and started putting lotion on her hands and arms.
"Want some?" she said. "I noticed this evening while you were watching TV you were squirming around trying to itch your back. Your back is almost as dry as your elbows because you run hot water on it while you are in the shower. It's no wonder it's dry. Lotion could cure that."
I rolled over turning to my side of the bed. She was determined to break the barrier I had put up.
"You know lotion is the potion for that itching motion," she said as she smiled and rubbed the stuff into her skin. Suddenly I felt it; a big glob of cold wet slimy lotion on my back. I lept up.
"I told you not to do that," I yelled.
She looked at me and saw there was lotion dripping on the floor.
"You know I know what is best for you," she said quietly. "Now I am just trying to help but if you don't want to stop itching it is none of my business. But you still need to clean up that pool of lotion on the floor because you are the one that put it there."
I looked down. There from my back dripped a large glob of pinkish colored slimy lotion. My dog was over sniffing it.
"Don't you lick that up Kiley," I told her and stormed off to get some paper towels.
When I got back from the kitchen the television was off and the single lamp on my dresser was the only light in the room. My dog had crawled up next to my wife where I usually sleep. She had her head buried in my pillow so I couldn't see her. I wiped up the lotion, but I could feel there was still more on my back. I tried to reach my back and spread it around, but my arms don't work in that manner after many years of falling off of things I should have never been climbing on in the first place.
"Uh can you reach my back and get this lotion rubbed in?" I asked sheepishly.
"Oh so now you want some lotion rubbed on your back," she said from her muffled position under the covers.
It was kind of like having someone paint half your car and then deciding you don't like the color. Do you have them finish it or do you stop and paint it another color? Somehow women find a way to get their way in the long run, even if it is good for you.
"Yes," I said with exasperation.
She even put on more lotion as she rubbed in the offending substance, to which I objected to no avail.
I felt like the Red Chinese leaders must feel nowadays about capitalism in their country; knowing that everyone thinks it is the best thing, but knowing it will be hard to live with. She rubbed it in my back and then turned me around and rubbed it into my cracked and dry hands.
But like the Red Chinese I was able to hold onto a little dignity of my convictions; I kept my elbows away from the stuff.
Of course the next day came the question after I got home from work.
"I bet your back didn't itch today did it?" she asked the first time I walked in the door.
But I had been planning a comeback all day, because I knew this would come up.
"No it didn't," I said matter of factly in typical smart mouth fashion. "But then neither did my elbows."

My hashimoto's hypothyroid was diagnosed very late and my TSH was 125. After the diagonsis, I took the levothyroxin for a year and my TSH was normal, but I still had all the symptoms. I didn't know what to do. I saw about 5 doctors, and they all said, "well, your TSH is normal so that is the end of the conversation". Dr. Aghighi was the only one who suggested taking Cytomel, in addition to the Levothyroxin. As soon as I took that, all my symptoms disappeared. She saved my life!

It seriously seems like the last 3 reviews were written by the same person. I had a terrible experience with this doctor a couple of years ago! She really did not know how to handle teenage patients and therefore left me feeling confused, guilty, and I ended up sicker than I was coming in as a new patient. She chastised me and was not understanding of the emotional issues that impeded my ability to properly take care of my type 1 diabetes, even though the depression and anxiety I was experiencing were side effects of blood sugar swings! But I did not learn this until I switched doctors. I learned more about my diabetes from college-level science and neuroscience classes than I did with her. Do not waste your time with someone so uncaring and dismissive of serious issues like mental health and their relation to larger medical conditions.

Dr. Aghighi was very instrumental in getting me my gastric bypass surgery. And, has alway been there when ever I had questions. She is very caring of her patients and very committed to excellent treatment. I highly recommend her! She is an excellent doctor in this field.

A Watertown businessman who received a $40,000 loan from the Jefferson County Industrial Development Agency to start a used car dealership apparently abandoned the plan and instead opened a pizza shop without saying a word to agency officials.
The JCIDA will seek legal action to get back a $40,000 microenterprise loan to Richard Lagano to start a used car dealership called American Auto, on Route 37 north of Route 342. The agency's board of directors approved the loan in November, but Mr. Lagano made only three small payments before jumping ship, CFO Lyle V. Eaton said.
About the same time the payments stopped coming in mid-April, Mr. Lagano and Rick D. Pitre opened Family Pizza in the Cheney Tire Plaza, 839 State St.
"It appeared he was going to make enough profits at the used car dealership to service the debt," Mr. Eaton said.
Mr. Lagano presented a detailed plan before the agency's loan review committee in the fall. A second mortgage on Mr. Lagano's house, as well as valuable automotive equipment, was used as collateral for the loan.
But Mr. Eaton, who tracks payments from loan recipients, soon became concerned about the project when Mr. Lagano's third payment in April arrived about two weeks late. A collection letter was sent to Mr. Lagano, and Mr. Eaton later visited the site on a Saturday. But a lot that should have been full of used cars was empty.
"I asked someone there where Richard went and they told me he was running a pizza business in Cheney's Plaza," he said. "I talked with him at the store and he indicated there was no money left to pay us."
By all appearances, Mr. Lagano used the loan to start the pizza shop instead. Attempts to reach Mr. Lagano on Wednesday at his business and residence were unsuccessful.
The JCIDA is set to approve a plan at its board of directors meeting to hire a collection agency to get its money.
The number of loans that have defaulted has increased in recent years, Mr. Eaton said. Since 2010, about three microenterprise loans and three major loans went sour.
"Public agencies probably take a bit more risk than normal financing institutions do," he said. "But that's our role, and you do your best to mitigate that risk. Mr. Lagano had an impressive plan and good background in sales, and it was a niche market with used vehicles under $10,000."
JCIDA Deputy CEO David J. Zembiec said the agency thoroughly vets every loan applicant, but entrepreneurs who start small businesses take on more risk than established companies.
We're "trying to promote a variety of business in the community," he said. "There's some risk involved and you do your best due diligence. When you're dealing with small businesses, there are some like Current Applications in Watertown, which grew from six to about 40 employees now. Others fail."

Son of an official in the court of King Dagobert. Courtier under Clotaire III. Priest. Benedictine. Archbishop of Sens, France in 682, but in 685 he surrendered his see to Saint Amatus, whom he felt was the rightful bishop. Gave away his lands and evangelized the Frisians in Scandanavia with a group of monks for twenty years, remembered there as the Christian crew who "bore the White Christ" to these people.
Converted the son of King Radbod, and was allowed to preach the Gospel. He met with some success, but it was a rough and pagan land. children were sacrificed to heathen gods by hanging or drowning in the sea; people would cast lots at festivals to pick a victim, and the loser was immediately hanged or cut to pieces. Wulfram appealed to King Radbod to stop the slaughter, but the king said it was their custom, and he could not change it. He challenged Wulfram to rescue the victims if he could; Wulfram then waded into the sea to save two children who had been tied to posts and left to die in the rising tide.
The turning point in the mission came with the rescue of Ovon. Ovon had been picked by lot to be sacrificed by hanging. Wulfram begged King Radbod to stop the killing, but the commoners were outraged at the sacrilege. Wulfram eventually obtained an agreement that if Wulfram's God saved Ovon's life, Wulfram and the God could have the man. Ovon was hanged, and swung from the rope for two hours, during which Wulfram prayed. When the heathens decided to leave Ovon for dead, the rope broke, Ovon fell – and was alive. Ovon became Wulfram's slave, his follower, a monk, and then a priest at Fontenelle. The faith of the missionaries (and their power to work miracles), frightened and awed the people who turned from their old ways, and were baptized.
Even King Radbod converted, but just before his baptism, Radbod asked where his ancestors were. Wulfram told him that idolators went to hell. "I will go to hell with my ancestors," said the King, "rather than be in heaven without them." Later, near death, Radbod sent for Saint Willibrord to baptize him, but died before the saint's arrival.
Wulfram's relics were translated from Fontenelle to Abbeville, and in 1062, they were moved to Rouen, France. The life of Wulfram was written by the monk Jonas of Fontenelle eleven years after his death.

- cleric with a young king nearby
- cleric arriving by ship with monks and baptizing a king
- baptizing the son of King Radbod
To the ship's bow he ascended,
By his choristers attended,
Round him were the tapers lighted,
And the sacred incense rose.
On the bow stood Bishop Sigurd,
In his robes as one transfigured,
And the Crucifix he planted.

Was the cups or lpd directory empty? I mean prior to resotring the backup.
Well I haven't gotten my little catch with printing in WordPefect 8. In Mandrake I used cups with ghostscript and used the postscript passthrough in WP. However, in Woody it uses cups with gimp print. Though it does print the pages fine, it always spits out one extra page with garbage at the end of the job. Oh well. Anyway I ran into a problem and found a good solution. But you have to do the solution before you make the problem (totally confused? Follow) I tried using the WordPerfect driver for my printer. Needless to say it was no good. But I ran into a problem. I was printing out page upon page of two or three lines of garbage, spit th epage out and do another. I ran into this before. Thought in Debian it would work this time. No go. Problem is there was No way to stop this. AND I MEAN NO WAY! (at least no normal way) The file showed as already processed in localhost:631, the kde print manager showed no print jobs processing or waiting to be killed. And qtcups listed the printer as idle. But here it was spitting out crap. So I turned the computer off (shutdown nothing drastic) and turned off the printer and even unplugged it for a while. Well plugged the printer in, and turned it on.It initialized came on ok and sat there. No pages getting spit out, just sat waiting for a job. So I turned the computer on. It was going fine through the boot up until it initialized cupsd. Then it started all over again. even lpstat didn't show any jobs to be killed. So I wondered how the hell to get rid of this print job. It was stuck somewhere. Not inthe printer but in the software. I did some searches and came to the /var/spool directory. It showed listings for cups and lpr. Now the catch is that when I first got my computer setup, clean, I did a backup of the entire hard drive, each major directory at a time (boot, bin, usr (a big one) dev, and var among others) so I pulled the old dir out of the .gz back up I had created. I put it in temp. I renamed the old spool dir as spool.old (just in case) and copied the old spool from /tmp/var to /var, shut down the computer and rebooted. as the system initialized I waited for the last lines where cups came up. Bingo no garbage. Once again pointing out the value of backups. If history serves from the last time I tried to get these print drivers to work it would have gone through about 45 pages or garbage (though I just kept taking the same page and putting it back in, but it was a waste of ink) and there was no reset or kill command that would clear the job so it came to the down and dirty replacing the whole damn dir. So keep this in mind next time you get something stuck in the print que. Make the backup first.
Was the cups or lpd directory empty? I mean prior to resotring the backup.
I got one question for you. I have wordpefect and I am using cups to print but for some odd reason I am not able to print. The only way I can is by printing to disk THEN doing a lpr foo.dsk I have tried the pass through ps driver but I can get it to print.
Schotty. No neither is empty. But the files in them, when I open them show completed. I think these are previous print jobs that already completed. I did print stuff before (in mozilla).
GMoreno, what's the question. Is it how did I do it? in the printer setup (in WP) I chose the postscript passthrough, then clicked the setup button to the right and at the bottom is assign and I assign it to lp. (In Debian 3.0). And in k print manager I have the BJC-240 (My printer) set as user default. Now in Mandrake I had 0 problems setting this up but in Debian this was my one hard problem I had since the setup was different.
Well the reason I asked, is if there was crud left over from the previous print job, it could do the exact same thing as what you experienced. I would have vaped out anything left over in those dirs first. Then worried about a backup. But thats me
Well I run Debian and I cant get WP to print in Debian...
Do you have a printer setup already? Does it print the test page? If so there shouldn't be a problem. Also for cups to work with lp you need the cups-bsd utils Forget the actual name of the package. Anyway. When you create the printer in WP and go to setup go to the bottom is a tab that says destination. click on it. There should be three lines there $printer, file and lp. choose lp then ok. It should work as long as you have your cups printer set as system default. If not what does happen?
Schotty. I had the printer all setup and fine up to that point so I figure anything left over is just logs or old info that was finished and doesn't matter now. Since it only did that with the changed setting. But if it was bad from the beginning I would have cleared the dir.

Ian Ritchie RA
Ian Ritchie uses the interplay between words and images to distil into poems and aphorisms varied influences from technology, social concerns, history and context. He then translates these into exquisite and delicate forms as etchings. Language is the common currency between them, and there is a remarkable concurrence between the elegant brushstrokes with which he depicts his architectural, sculptural and industrial design projects and their built reality, whether they are as richly simple as the Spire of Dublin, or as complex as the White City shopping complex in West London.
Ritchie graduated with distinction from the PCL, London (University of Westminster), and after working with Norman Foster (1972-76) he spent two years in France designing and self-constructing projects. He founded Chrysalis Architects (1979-81) with Alan Stanton and Mike Davies and also worked at Arup's Lightweight Structures Group (1978-81). In 1981 he created both Ian Ritchie Architects in London and co-founded the design engineering firm Rice Francis Ritchie (RFR) in Paris. Before leaving RFR in 1990, this practice had been responsible for major projects in Paris including the Bioclimatic Facades at la Villette Cité des Sciences and the Louvre Pyramids and Sculpture Courts with I M Pei.
His architectural practice has realised many diverse landmark projects throughout Europe including the Reina Sofia Museum of Modern Art Glass Towers, Madrid, the Leipzig Glass Hall, EdF Pylons, Dublin Spire and RSC Courtyard Theatre. He leads one of the world's leading innovative practices with a reputation for strategic thinking, environmental and ethical concerns, design quality and R&D with industry.
His practice has won more than sixty awards including the Iritecna Prize for Europe and the Commonwealth Association of Architects Award for the Advancement of Architecture and shortlisted four times for the RIBA Stirling Prize.
Ian Ritchie devotes much time to education, having been visiting professor at Leeds University School of Civil Engineering, TU Vienna, Moscow and Liverpool Universities and also taught at the Architectural Association.
He regularly chairs international juries, including the Stirling Prize and Les Jeunes Albums France. He helped found CABE in 1999 after serving as a Royal Fine Art Commissioner, is a governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company (2000-), a member of Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 (2001-2011) and sat on the European Construction Technology Platform, (2005-2008). Ritchie continues to lecture internationally on architecture, art, urbanism, regeneration and values, light, structures, glass technology and innovation at major venues including the Royal Academy of Arts, Royal Institution, Tate, ICA, Pompidou, Hayward Gallery, Kunst u. Austellungshalle Bundesrepublik Bonn, New York Architecture Centre and the European Commission as well as at universities across the world.
In 2000 he was awarded a CBE, and became the sole foreign architect to receive the French Academie d'Architecture Grand Silver Medal for Innovation joining a small illustrious group including Jean Prouvé, Felix Candela, Frei Otto, Buckminster Fuller and Peter Rice.

HEUVELTON Speed demons are being put on notice.
After several complaints about speeding motorists from Rensselaer Street residents near the intersection with East Water Street and the village line, the Board of Trustees is determined to take action.
Mayor Barbara A. Lashua said at Wednesdays board meeting that she will write to the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department asking for increased enforcement.
Mrs. Lashua said she will request the same of state police.
The village speed limit is 30 miles per hour, a limit posted on signs at the village entrances, Department of Public Works Superintendent Timothy J. Murray said.
But the prominent speed limit postings evidently are not enough to dissuade some motorists.
Mrs. Lashua said the primary issue is people who dont slow down as they come into the village.
Mr. Murray said patrol officers concentrate their efforts along Route 812, with state police often parked near the village entrances to catch speeders.
The village is going to recommend the sheriffs department and state police include Rensselaer Street in their patrols around the village.
Mr. Murray said there are plenty of good locations for officers to park their cars along that street.
In other business Wednesday, Mrs. Lashua said the villages sewer project is still scheduled to begin in the spring, with electrical upgrades at the sewage treatment plant beginning this winter.
The project, which is expected to cost just over $2 million, will see roughly 10,000 feet of gravity-fed sewer lines and 75 manholes replaced.
Two pumping stations also will be upgraded, and a double-grinder pumping station will be installed.
Reale Construction, Ticonderoga, is the contractor for the project, Mrs. Lashua said.
The project is being funded by several sources.
The village acquired a $700,000 interest-free loan through the state Environmental Facilities Corp.; the Empire State Development Corp. is providing an additional $500,000 incentive for the project, and the rest of the funding will come from an EFC grant.

BGA Extra: Jets at Jaguars
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible. For the purposes of BGA Extra (but not BGA, since that is too early in the week), I have also reviewed the coaches film, which was available for every play (whereas last year, it was only available for big plays). Statistics from PFF which are not available to subscribers were used in the completion of this article and we thank them for providing us with exclusive access to these.
Welcome to BGA Extra, where I draw a line under the previous weekend's game by responding to your questions from BGA during the week. After the jump, I respond to your questions about Sunday's game against the Jags. If you would like your questions answered in future, remember to read my BGA game breakdowns every Monday and leave your question in the comments section.
@SimonOnSports (via twitter)
Is there a way to get a % of QB Sack-Fumble ratio? It like Sanchez drops the ball on hits at a higher rate than others?
I couldn't find anyone who tracks this, so I compiled it myself. Sanchez is number six with 11 fumbles and 30 sacks. Matt Cassel is the worst, with nine fumbles in 19 sacks. Mike Vick, Robert Griffin, Nick Foles, Josh Freeman and Colin Kaepernick are also ahead of Sanchez. Most of those are guys that try to extend plays by scrambling.
This highlights one immediate limitation of the stat and that's the fact that nobody splits out fumbles that occur when running the ball and those suffered when trying to pass – although a lot of time, the scramble will come as a result of pressure. For example, only three of Sanchez's fumbles came on running plays – which would include any fumbled snaps. By contrast NINE of Griffin's 11 fumbles were on running plays, so actually his fumble per sack rate would be much lower than I calculated.
Fumbling the ball is one thing, but actually losing fumbles is another. In that category, Sanchez is fourth, with Cassel, Jake Locker and Ryan Lindley ahead of him (in that order).
I'd like to take it a step further. We already know Sanchez gives up a lot of sacks relative to how often he is under pressure. As a direct comparison, Sanchez was under pressure 175 times last year and sacked 35 times – once every five times. Eli Manning was under pressure 342 times and only sacked 42 times – once every 8.1 times…or far less often. Sanchez has the third worst sack percentage this year (behind Aaron Rodgers and Andy Dalton) and is dead last for accuracy when pressured. So, what about fumbles relative to how often you're under pressure?
That's where Sanchez finds himself comfortably in second place (for both fumbles and fumbles lost). He still can't oust Cassel from the top spot, but otherwise he's in more danger of fumbling when pressured than any other quarterback in the league right now.
As for who excels in these categories, it's exactly who you'd expect. Tom Brady hasn't lost a fumble all year and Peyton Manning has only fumbled twice, although he's also been under pressure less than almost everyone else. While it's an inexact science due to the limitations of the data source, I think these numbers are concrete enough to statistically represent what we all already knew – Sanchez's pocket presence is not good.
[In the image you shared] I think Lowery is in good position to make the tackle, possibly for a loss, if Greene tried to cut it outside to the left on the one play that's pictured. I can't knock Greene for that decision. With this offense, better to get a couple yards than lose 3.
The image doesn't really show this, but at the time I made the screen grab, Lowery was kind of on his heels having bluffed a blitz. Greene definitely would have been able to turn the corner and even if Lowery was able to make the open field tackle, I'm certain his momentum would have got him a couple of yards, which was never going to happen if he just ran into the pile like he did.
Who do you think was at fault when they gave up the 4th and 15 conversion at the end of the game? Rex was livid. I think it was probably the slot corner not getting enough depth, but I'm not sure.
Wilson was on the slot receiver. He gave Shipley a huge cushion, ran with him and then slowed up and turned around to look for the ball which ended up going over his head. The two safeties, Landry and Bell were both deep, and the receiver on each sideline ran a clear out route so they were drawn far enough out of the middle. Nobody else ran any kind of underneath route so there was no reason for Wilson to pass the receiver off to the two deep guys.
Here is another truth. I am not letting the defense off the hook. Here is another unrealistic stat. The Jets are now ranked as a #6 defense but are they truly a #6?
A couple of questions, from watching the game. It so looks to me like Kyle Wilson operates so much better in zone concepts then man coverage. He also is a pretty decent tackler. Any chance the Jets could consider moving him to free safety? Second question, with the strength on the jets D being D line and secondary, do you think the Jets would consider utilizing a big nickel (3 safety look) as a base defense next year? I mean Bell and Allen look like good in the box safeties.
The three safety look is certainly something that the Jets employ often and against certain pass first teams (which are becoming increasingly popular), they could end up in nickel all the time, so that could pretty much end up being their base defense anyway. With most of their linebackers set to leave at the end of the year, that could be a good option. As for Wilson, I'm not sure about him being better in zone than man – he does seem to get confused a lot because the Jets mix up man and zone. Maybe a simpler role (like deep safety) could be something he'd handle well. Not a bad idea.
Do you think Reuland should play more fullback? It seems when watching that Lex Hillard is kinda inconsistent.
You're absolutely right that Hilliard is inconsistent. However, Reuland is pretty inconsistent too. I think Reuland has more upside as a blocker and if you have a third TE that can line up in the backfield, that does save you a roster spot. I wonder where Josh Baker fits in? I like him too.
Do you really think the Jets should mess around with Cromartie at WR like you mentioned? Seems like too big a gamble to have him go both ways when hes been doing such a good job for us.
It's a huge gamble, but it's all hands to the pump at this stage of the season. You'll also notice guys like Harris and Landry playing special teams. Cromartie has unbelievable physical gifts. He showed in the Houston game that he could get deep and with the Jets' difficulties on offense, a contribution like that could be a big deal for them.
If we were playing the Ravens, would Rex have Started Sanchez? Any reason you didn't mention the hospital pass to Kerley in the flat a la Pennington style?
I don't think Sanchez would have started if it was a home game either. No particular reason I didn't mention that play, but you just did to save me the job!
On the 36 yd completion to Cumberland what defense were Jags in? It was 3rd and 8 from the 13. They must have expected us to run the ball there. Who should have covered him (if you can tell)?
It was the most basic zone you could ever expect to see over the middle. Both safeties were pretty deep and ran even deeper as it became obvious Sanchez was going to throw. The linebackers all dropped a few yards and Cumberland initially ran down the seam then broke towards the deep post and Sanchez threw the ball in the gap over the linebacker's heads and in front of the safeties that were too deep. Maybe Pozluzsny could have dropped quicker (it went right over his head and he was slightly deeper than the two OLBs) or maybe the safeties shouldn't have been so deep. It had to be an accurate throw though – and who can blame the Jags for relying on a defense that needed an accurate throw to beat it?
The defense has been playing better over the last several weeks, but I still worry about the run defense. While they had a truly dominant performance against the Cards – a large part of that can be attributed to the rookie QB performance, where the Jets knew that they could over commit to the run without much worry of the passing game coming back to haunt them. I was actually troubled by the Jags running game. They were using running backs so far down on their depth chart and still getting great results (24-123) … It seems like the team is just not up to the level of run defense it has had in the past. Pouha has been fighting through injury, but too often the unit seems out of place. I wonder whether Ellis, Couples and Wilkerson have anything to do with this. Are they over zealous in trying to create pressure? Do they lose leverage early? How do you explain the difference when compared to the dominant run defense in years past (when no-name linemen seemed to have more control)? Some of it might be Scott and his deterioration, but does that explain most of it? Does the d-line coaching change have anything to do with this? It seems to me that the defensive line (while getting better over the several weeks) still isn't at the level over the last few years. Do you agree and what is the way to get back to that level?
Scott and Harris aren't playing as well as they have in the past, but I think the biggest difference from last year has been Po'uha. He's played okay, but nowhere near as good as last year, where he was consistently disruptive even when doubled. That's entirely attributable to his injuries, but I don't know whether we can expect him to get over those.
On Sunday, I did notice some of the linemen looking to generate pressure as you described and I think that was by design. They were prepared to allow the Jags to have some success running the ball, as long as they could pressure the quarterback (which they did at a higher rate than any other game all year) to limit Henne's production, which they saw as more of a threat.
I believe they can still be solid against the run, when they're not focusing more on getting pressure. Take out the 32-yard touchdown, which came about largely because Thomas got injured and McIntyre ran on the field and didn't get set before the snap and the Jets gave up less than four yards per carry the rest of the time.
It looked to me like Eric Smith vacated his lane on the TD run and that if he'd have stayed home, it should've been stopped, maybe for a small gain, but not a TD. Do you agree? If not, what did you see? Was ridiculous to see three Jets defenders falling over each other trying to get back in position.
Well, Smith lost contain because he had to spin to get off Eugene Monroe's block as he was being driven backwards and he lost sight of Owens at the moment he made his cut. However, at the start of the play, Ellis Lankster had responsibility for outside contain and lost it because he allowed his receiver to drive him to the inside. He ended up being one of the two guys Smith got in the way of when he got off Monroe's block. If Smith just stayed on the block he would have kept contain and the run would have been bottled up, but he probably didn't realize that Lankster wasn't outside him to contain the outside and had instead been forced inside.
Coples looked good, but seems to leave his feet too early. His missed a sack once doing that and almost missed the second one the same way. Great to see him getting pressure though. You think he's on the same trajectory MO was last year at this point?
Basically, he's ascending at a faster rate in terms of his pass rushing, but isn't quite on the same curve in terms of stopping the run. Last year, Wilkerson had three sacks, four hits and eight pressures in 300 pass rush attempts (Note: this year he has 4/7/18). Coples, in 262 pass rush attempts, has three sacks, eight hits and 11 pressures.
While Cromartie has had a stellar season, I notice what looked like glimpses of his old, 'avoid-contact' pattern a couple times when the ball is reaching the receiver he's covering. On one play in particular, he seemed to assume the bracketed coverage would make the hit as the ball arrived at the receiver, and he held back. Did you notice that, and is it a returning pattern?
On the whole I'd say he's been much more physical this year, in terms of tackling, hitting and jamming at the line. There may be the occasional lapse from time to time but, overall, I haven't noticed him reverting to his previous self. He had one excellent open field tackle, for example. He did get his bell rung by Yeremiah Bell, so maybe that made him a little more tentative than usual.
I don't really have any football questions because your analysis covered them. But I am curious if you could see Rex's reaction to the Sanchez fumble?
He stomped away muttering to himself with this look on his face:
What's your opinion on McIntyre? He seems to be playing ok. Do you think there is a lot of upside there?
It's hard to say. I've always thought he looked like an NFL player, but I don't really see him as a future star. I'd peg his ceiling at someone like Matt Roth, who peaked a couple of seasons ago and was not flashy, but very productive in terms of generating pressure and against the run. However, right now, McIntyre is still developing and for every good play he makes, there's also some plays where he looks overmatched. Hopefully, he's a guy whose performance will get better as his comfort level increases. He and Ricky Sapp could give the Jets some nice depth at outside linebacker next year, but unless one or both of them emerges faster than anticipated, they still probably need to replace the starters.
Historically, why does this team always give me hope only to rip my guts out at the last (and worst) possible moment?
Ummm…I'm going to assume that was rhetorical.
I'll be back on Monday with the BGA Preview for the Titans game. Have a good weekend!

Mobile Warming Cypress Jacket Reviewby Rochell - verified purchaser
It doesn't get bitterly cold for long in my neck of the woods, so this jacket won't get a lot of use. It fits well and works well on low under my heavier riding jacket in 30 degree temps. In bitter cold temps it will need to be set higher and layered over with a heavier jacket.

Peaches in juice okay, or must they be peaches in syrup?
- October 12, 2010 at 11:50 AM

great question, Pam!
juice is just fine. It might not be quite as thick, but unless you did a side by side comparison I don't think you'd notice.
- October 12, 2010 at 11:58 AM
This DOES sound good... when you set aside the good stuff for 48 hours, where do you put it? I mean, does it have to be refrigerated? or are you leaving it out on the counter trying not to sneak a taste now and then?

hi Christal, thank you for your eagle eyes! yes, definitely refrigerate it.

I'd wondered where to put it, too. I was unsure so I left it on the counter (what a tease for two days!). Refrigerated at the end before ready to eat.
This was fantastic. A really good marriage of ingredients. The whipped cream (homemade, for me) on top was wonderful. Really made it.
Thanks for this!

This sounds amazing and I'd love to try it, however my boyfriend and I are on a no-carb/no-sugar diet. I can get away with halving the sugar amount I'm sure, but I'm wondering about the peaches. We can't do the syrup or the juice, what are your thoughts on using fresh peaches and if so, what liquids might be a necessary addition? Or is there is no hope for this one in my sugar celibacy?

DERBY – A routine oil delivery at a home in Derby yesterday turned out to be anything but routine when the truck slid off a private driveway and tipped over.
Derby Line Fire Chief Craig Ellam identified the driver as Paul Gervais of Irving Oil in Littleton, N.H.
The Derby Line Fire Department responded to the scene around 11:22 a.m. Property owner David LaBelle arrived at his home, located on Route 111, just after the truck flipped over. LaBelle, who is on automatic oil delivery service, was not aware he would be getting an oil delivery and didn't prepare his driveway.
Normally the driver would deliver oil if the driveway was clear. If it is not clear, the company notifies him of a pending delivery.
"There were a couple of layers of snow and ice," LaBelle said of his driveway.
The driver told him that he made it up fine but the truck slid as he started to leave. The driver, said LaBelle, went off the driveway to "save it" on the lawn. However, the truck sunk.
There was just a trickle of oil and apparently none got on the lawn, LaBelle said. Firefighters were able to capture 99 percent of the 1,900 gallons that were on the truck.
Fire Chief Craig Ellam said the rear of the truck sustained some sheet metal damage.
Company officials declined to comment.
A sand truck with the Town of Derby written on the door arrived to sand the driveway prior to crews removing the oil truck.
Grenier's Truck Shop removed the truck from the scene.
The company first towed the truck to its shop in Charleston and then to the Irving office in Littleton, N.H.

19 October 2014
This report synthesizes findings of evaluations conducted between July 2013 and July 2014, covering 12 operations with a combined planned value of USD 3 billion (totaling over USD 1.7 billion funded), which targeted 14.3 million beneficiaries a year, were of varying types, durations and sizes and implemented in diverse settings.
The evaluations found all operations cohered well with national and sector policy frameworks. WFP is directly influencing policy and strategy formulation, and increasingly engaging in joint programming. WFP delivered broadly relevant food assistance, with most operations appropriate to overall needs; however, insufficient differentiation in the analysis and planning of some operations compromised planning for specific beneficiary needs. Results were inadequately documented, particularly at the outcome level, mainly because of weak monitoring systems. Evaluations revealed that the full extent of WFP's achievements – and under-achievements – is not currently reflected in reporting systems. General food distribution, school feeding and nutrition activities delivered well against coverage targets, with weaker performance in food assistance for assets. Evidence found that WFP served beneficiaries with less food than planned, however. Gender sensitivity was limited.
At the outcome level, WFP made most progress under Strategic Objective (SO) 1 - saving lives. Only limited data were available on SO2 (preventing acute hunger and investing in disaster preparedness and mitigation) and SO5 (capacity-development). Assessment of efficiency and sustainability was shallow; few operations were characterized as generally efficient or potentially sustainable.
External factors affecting results include WFP's complex operating terrain and funding. Internal factors are symptomatic of an organization in transition, progressing in introducing changes, but with business processes needing to adapt. The lessons presented in this synthesis report aim to support WFP as it becomes increasingly fit for purpose.

What would you like to know about your Universe — The fourth online poll
This poll is now closed. The most popular question was: "How does gravity work?" You can read the answer on Plus, or listen to the podcast. Thank you for taking part and don't forget to vote in the current poll!
This is the fourth online poll in our series to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009. Choose your favourite question from the list on the right, and we'll put the one that proves most popular to world-leading astronomers and cosmologists, including Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and author and cosmologist John D. Barrow. The poll will remain open for a month and the answer will be published in a Plus article and podcast soon after. If your most burning question is not on this list, then leave a comment on this blog and we'll endeavour to include it in a future poll — there will be three more polls dotted throughout the year.
The most popular questions in the first two polls were What happened before the Big Bang? and Are the constants of nature really constant?. Read the answers by clicking on the links, and discuss them on our blog. The third poll came up with the question "What are dark energy and dark matter?" and we will publish the answer on Plus shortly.

Gettin' funky with da fractals
Summer is the season for music festivals, and why not take in some science between acts by visiting the Guerilla Science tent at the Secret Garden Party this weekend. Plus was particularly tempted by dancing with fractals on Thursday 23rd with Impossible Objects, catching rays with Helen Mason on Friday 24th, hunting for Higgs with John Butterworth and searching for symmetry with Ben Allanach on Saturday 25th, and the Beatbox laboratory on Sunday 26th July.
Find out more about Guerilla Science at the Secret Garden Party on their website, and find out about Our dynamic sun from Helen Mason and Particle hunting at the LHC from Ben Allanach on Plus. And check out the Guerilla Science Freestyle featuring Ben!

Consumers, financial institutions, and most importantly regulators did not understand the risks being taken in the financial markets. That was one of the main causes of the current financial crisis according to the Government white paper, Reforming the financial markets, released last week. It is clear to all players in the financial market that they need to make more accurate assessments of the risks they and others are taking. But will they be able to take the more scientific approach needed for a deeper understanding of financial risks, when they were so easily bewitched by unproven claims that you can turn financial lead into gold?

Did Mahmoud Ahmadinejad really win a landslide election on the 12th of June 2009? Many believe that he didn't, but only a full election re-run scrutinised by independent observers would bring absolute certainty. With this possibility thoroughly off the cards, as the Guardian Council has made clear, some analysts have had a long and hard look at the figures released by the very government accused of doing the rigging, to see if they reveal evidence of fraud.

Meet the fastest mathematician on Earth
Fancy crashing through the sound barrier in a rocket propelled car that goes all the way up to 1000mph? Well, we can't give you that experience, but we can get you as close as any maths magazine ever will. Last week we interviewed Andy Green, currently the fastest man on Earth (and Oxford maths graduate), who's now gearing up to break his own land speed record in his Bloodhound SSC — a pencil shaped car powered by a Eurofighter aircraft engine. The car is currently being simulated on super computers, exploiting the full power of computational fluid dynamics and all sorts of other bits of engineering maths, and it's just about to move into the construction phase.
You will be able to read our interview and an article on the maths that makes Bloodhound possible in the September issue of Plus, but meanwhile go and visit the Bloodhound SSC website. It tells you all there is to know about this engineering adventure, the car, and the team behind it. There's a substantial education programme associated to the project — you can sign up for engineering and maths based teaching resources, from instructions to build your own balloon powered car to experimenting with the speed of sound. You can also sign up for an email newsletter, or follow Bloodhound on Twitter.
