RIVERDALE — A year after winning a region championship and playing for a state title, the Drew boys basketball team spent this past postseason at home.
The Titans failed in their attempt to reach the state playoffs for a third straight season.
Despite having to replace nine seniors from a team that played for the Class AAA title the year before, Drew was just one win away from returning to the state tournament.
But a 73-48 loss to Whitewater in the Region 4-AAAAA tournament ended those chances. Still, there's hope that this year will signify a reversal of fortunes.
"We are getting good chemistry this summer, and should be ready when the season comes around," Drew rising junior Maleek Taylor said.
"The seniors will play a big role in leadership," Forest Redd, a rising senior said.
Titans coach Jarrod Davis said a lot was taken for granted last season because of the programs instant success. The majority of players on last year's roster just assumed success would come because that is the only thing they had experienced during their time in the program.
Last season's senior class were members of the team that reached the Class AAA finals against Columbia in Macon. The majority of the newcomers played on the junior varsity county championship team.
"I think everybody thought it was going to be easy because of our past success," Davis said. "Because we were successful, teasm were giving us their best games. We were still a young team, but these guys only knew about the success of the Drew program."
Since the past teams were senior-oriented, many of the underclassmen didn't get much opportunity to play.
"We didn't do a good job of getting the younger players involved on the varsity earlier," Davis said. "We had a feeling that we weren't going to be good early in the season, but had a chance once we got some experience."
And that proved to be true.
Drew finished with a 15-10 record, and were runners-up in the subregion to Mundy's Mill. The Titans started the season with a 4-6 record before the Christmas break. The team won eight straight games before losing its regular season finale to Mount Zion.
Leading scorer Brandon Clyde, who has signed a scholarship with Miles College in Birmingham, went down with a wrist injury just before the start of the Region 4-AAAAA tournament. The loss of its leading scorer, didn't help the Titans' cause in that lopsided, season ending loss to Whitewater.
Sophomore-to-be Bryson Duckworth believes that the memories elicited from that defeat will serve as motivation going into this season.
"I know this team can rise to the challenge," Duckworth said. "We have been working harder, and putting in some extra work. We are getting better, and I think we are making some progress."

(NS 715 435) Alt 175m North-West facing
The Spectacle E'e Falls are the formation of the Kype Water where it flows over a geological fault. An area of Basalt sank below an area of hard Sandstone on which Sandford sits. The Falls are given their name after the Overhall Mill which operated next to the Falls was burnt down in 1801. The story goes that the miller's daughter fell in love with a local lad whom the miller deemed unsuitable for his daughter. In revenge the lad climbed up the mill to the thatched roof and placed his spectacles on it, so when the sun caught them the mill went up in flames.
The Spectacle E'e Falls, near Sandford South East of Strathaven, come into condition after a prolonged cold spell, 2 weeks of hard frost, or either a shorter very cold spell. The Falls are in a 'two teir' fashion with a small platform halfway. When in condition they provide small routes low in grade which are ideal for a wee Sunday morning's climbing.
I believe the falls may have been climbed prior to January 2010, if so let me know so I can adjust first ascentionist with the SMC.

Basecamp Life

Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575 ft.
Hello everyone,
The team continues to rest here in our comforts of Basecamp. We have been spending lots of time reading, watching movies, doing laundry, taking showers, and playing cards. In fact, we hosted the first Texas Hold 'em tournament last night. There were some of us who were lucky and a few of them that were not so lucky! (Thanks for the tip Kenny Rogers)
Today we spent most of the morning relaxing and getting a few things ready to be carried up the mountain by our amazing Sherpa crew. I would have to say that the majority of these great guys are smaller in stature than us, but easily twice as strong. It really is humbling to see the Sherpa working with such ease at these altitudes. After another great lunch provided by our head cook Kumar, we pulled out our oxygen mask and had a little practice with the oxygen bottles. We all looked like fighter pilots (well almost) and seemed like everyone said at one point "Luke I am your father". Just a few more rest days and then it's back to work. Everyone is looking forward to heading back uphill and for some warmer weather to arrive also.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on October 5, 2012.
Help us bring the Virginia Tech Duck Pond Amphitheater back to life with community art, music and theatre!

Project by
Gabrielle Laskey
First created | 7 backed
About this project
The Amphitheatre near The Grove and the Duck Pond is a revered garden area known by virtually all alumni. The Amphitheatre was an initiative of the Southwest Virginia Garden Club and the Virginia State Federation of Garden Clubs. It was built by 'relief workers', likely by the Work Projects Authority (WPA) or Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) employed by the Federal Government during the Great Depression. It was dedicated in 1935. It was originally called the 'Garden Theatre' built as a place for birds and plants and as a memorial to the pioneers who settled the Mountain Empire of Southwest Virginia. It has been used for weddings, plays, movies and quiet reflection for the past 74 years.
By 2003, a Hemlock disease had killed virtually all trees in the amphitheater. In response to this a renovation plan was prepared in 2004. The initial restoration work consisted shade and flowering trees, flowering shrubs, bulbs and construction of grass paths connecting to the Duck Pond Park as noted in historical records from the 1930's. Much work remains to be done to restore the garden including stone terrace and wall repair, lighting, water fountain repair, and additional planting.
As a collective group of alumni students who mostly majored in theatre at Virginia Tech, we hate to see a good stage go out to pasture. We want to get the Duck Pond Amphitheater back in lights, camera, action! A lot of really wonderful work has already been done by the The Arboretum Committee and VT Grounds, but they require $10,000.00 for the stage to be safe and active again. As a part of this plan, we are going to put on show to inaugurate the stage back into commission. this show will feature local artists who are versed in music, theatre, comedy and a variety of other entertainments. You pledge will not only make it safe for us to perform, it will also allow us to perform and that is the greatest gift of all! So help us give back to our community, so we can give back to you, and the cycle of non-profit, local arts turns on and on! Thank you so much for your support. If you'd rather make a donation by buying a Local Support T-shirt directly, please follow this link: http://www.customink.com/signup/13ekyp8y
THINK OF IT THIS WAY: Would you like it if people were conservation-focused and planting trees and flowers? Would you like it if people were creating art/music/dance/theatre? And then, would you like it if this space was public for all to use, including yourself, not just some single purchase item that loses value through the years? Might I interest you in investing in all of those things? DONATE!
LIVE FUNDRAISER AT THE AMPHITHEATRE: Sept. 22nd 12pm-2pm - if you are going to the Bowling Green Home Football Game, stop by, hear Time Wave Zero and drop some money in the hat! :)
AFTER LABOR DAY UPDATE: Now also with new-found assistance through a few local bands and set to become a part of the VT Engineering school 3D modeling project! :)
If my club/business/group donate $100 or more - is that okay and how will we be listed on the plaque?
Yes! We would be happy to feature clubs and individuals on the plaque! However you would like to appear, we will happily put any names under the group name or just the group name or just the collective individuals who donated! You make the call!
As part of the online presence, there will also be campus/downtown/drillfield/VT football presence throughout the month, as sometimes it is difficult to expand an online circle - and we would like to get current and past students, staff and faculty involved. We're all in this together, and with many people coming together in small ways, we can make a difference!
The event is planned for October 13, 2012; 12pm-2pm (or 11am-3pm; if we can get a lot of acts to participate!) - to coincide with Homecoming! We currently have the support of some local theatre artists/playwrights and Time Wave Zero committed to participate for the show - but we can also plan some fun crowd activities, and will have some visual art presented as well.
So what exactly is my money buying - what are you doing with all the money if the artists are cost matching with time for the event?
The blueprints are a part of the compiled static picture. The majority of the funds we need involve renovating all of the crumbling the Hokie Stone throughout and replacing a lot what was lost of the stage and the skirt from the 1935 image, purchasing plants to replace the ones lost to hemlock disease, repairing the fountains and improving the permanent lighting (currently, there is just the plug stand in the middle of the stage - but because this wiring exists, this will lead to a fuller lighting system for the stage area). This is just a small contribution from a lot of other areas and patrons who donate to the horticulture and garden society - because this is a lot of work! But we're trying to get the word out to alumni to help support in smaller ways instead of waiting for larger single donations from patrons.
Thank you so much for your questions! Keep them up, it will help us grow and get out there! :)

2 questions about living in the moment
Hey guys!
If I live conscious and try to understand more and more of the world, this all are thoughts. How can I stay in the presence if I am thinking about things and how they fit together?
What about good memories? I cant stay in the moment when I have those, but can I let them go?
Thanks for answer

This is a common misconception.
First, I have to explain something to you that seems quite obvious, but I have to say it to make you see things differently.
You see, we are always in the Now. There is no escaping it. We can't live even one second in the future, or one second in the past. Our Being and the Now are one. You could even debate about wether we are racing along a timeline, or that there is no time, only the Now, and the timeline moves through us instead.
What you are referring to of course is not if we are able to live in the future, but what we have our attention on, our focus.
Focusing completely on thoughts or memories, which may give the illusion that we are completely immersed in them, according to for instance Eckhart Tolle, is not living in the Now.
Of course he as well is referring to attention.
Eckhart knows that we are always in the Now ( he is the last person who needs to have this explained
We have to realise that memories are also things that seem to pass by us as part of that seeming timeline that moves through us, while we stay in the Now watching the train of thoughts and feelings come by.

Now if this were true, that would mean that guys like Eckhart Tolle wouldn't be able to remember a thing, as he always knows that he lives in the Now.
It's always possible to remember something, as the memory is just another thing happening while you are in the Now.
All that you need to focus on, is the fact that you are in the now, and let everything that happens, being it memories, thoughts, feelings, or everything in the world as we know it, pass through you.
You see, when you focus on the Now ( which essentially means focusing on your Self, your Being ) you don't feel immersed in your thoughts and feelings anymore, and that will change the perspective you have on things.
If what I said interests you, I would like to suggest you look into
Advaita Vedanta
You can find a lot of information about it on the internet. Google it and see if it interests you !

Hi David (good username
True understanding comes from experience. Whilst we can try and understand through logical interpretation and piecing together experience from the past to get and idea of what
be true, it is only when we put things into practice that we can really find out the truth. Your idea of thinging about things and how they fit together can only be based on your preconceived ideas of how things 'may be', not how they actually are.
Being present is not about removing logical thought altogether, it's about detaching from ideas of the past when presented with the present.
Imagine you meet up with a person you know who perhaps upset you the last time you saw them. If you're not in the present moment, you will bring up the memories of that past and let it control you in the present moment i.e. the mind is controlling you rather than you controlling the mind. This will bring up the feelings and emotions and memories from that time and you may get a sense of disliking that person again. However, in the present moment, that person, at the time you meet them, may be meeting you with all good intentions and there is no reason for you to have any ill feeling. This is why the wise tell us "Meet everyone as if for the first time".
The difference is that you should act on what is in front of you and not on preconceived ideas based on the past. We all know that we spend too much time, trying to plan for a situation in the future (e.g. rehearsing a presentation and getting nervous about it), but when that situation actually arises, it never follows exactly what we expected. So why waste time planning for it? Why base our ideas of the future (near future or far) on what we believe may happen, which is really based on experience from the past? There is no point.
Fair enough, experience will give us the skills we need to deal with different situations in life, but being present and acting in the moment rather than pre-empting or having wild thoughts about things, will allow us to bring those skills forward to use as and when we need them.
A valuable exercise to practice is to simply
observe the working surface
. This means, for example, if you are washing the dishes, observe the hands holding the dishes and the feel of the water on the skin and the action of moving and cleaning. Another example is if writing something, observe where the pen touches the paper and the ink flowing out as you write. This focus on the senses, keeps us in the present moment. The task at hand itself will naturally flow, and you will actually find when you look back that the task seemed simpler and completed more quickly than 'normal'.
As for memories, we all have memories, good and bad. There's nothing wrong with recalling memories, but we only need to recall them when the present moment requires it. Is it a good idea to recall good memories whilst your driving your car down the road? No of course not, as your focus should be on the road. It may be a good memory, but it should only be sought to come to mind when the present moment requires it to.

Hey Guys !
Thanks a lot for those very long answers !
I have read Eckart Tolle and some other things to this point, so I get what you are talking about to some point.
The questions I have are some points I didnt get until now, but I need to stay focused.
I get some new stuff out of your posts, thank you very much. So there is nothing bad about good memories, as long as I sit on the couch and remember "the good old times" without missing them, and then I have to move on without thinking about them for now, right?
Is it the same as reading a siencefiction novel or is it an unconscious way to escape?
There are just a few things I dont get. Tolle says there is nothing bad about changing your life situation or more specific your job as long as you accept that you are in a "bad, not wanted" job right now and do not suffer pain while changing situation. Just try, dont try to hard, because you will suffer if you do and
If you cant get out, just accept.
But whats the better way, to get out if possible, or to master yourself and stay in a stupid job, so that you can accept everything and become like Diogenes in the rubbish container. Because if you still want to get out, you are still adhereing to some things.
What about a long sexual partnership, where you are not satisfied with sexually, get another partner or try to accept, that you wont get much more sex in the long run?
I could just stop thinking and just do and live in the present moment, without changing anything but accept facts.
I just dont get the accept everything approach, if I could accept everything I would just sit down and die, because it doesnt matter, does it?
Maybe I got the wrong view of it, and I understand your answers, to some point, and Eckhart Tolle book transformed my knowledge about all this, but I just could not get everything out of it till now.
It is simply very tough to apply it to some examples for me.
I also am reading different stuff right know, also something about Advaita Vedanta
, I try to understand more about buddhism right now.
thanks for the nickname compliment btw
Thank you guys, you are helping me !
Best regards

Short answer this time...
You don't have to accept anything, especially if it is hurtful to yourself or anyone else.
The point is that you should avoid reacting to things.
Look at the word "reacting"... Re ... Acting ... thus taking actions from our past experience and performing them again in the present. i.e. acting in the present moment based on how we acted in the past to another similar (but in truth different) situation. To ReAct is not to take action in the present based on the facts that are in front of us.
The acceptance that is talked about is to act on the facts in front of you, so in terms of a job, don't go to work and start the day all miserable and unhappy because something happened that was considered bad on a previous day. There may be nothing wrong with the job in the present, so why ruin your own day and waste your energy by basing it on the past?

In addition to what Giles said, a lot of people seem to think that accepting everything means that you can't take action anymore.
but its quite the opposite.
Going back to the example of driving your car into a tree:
A lot of people who drive into a tree refuse to accept what they see with their mind. The fact that the situation is as it is ( i.e. your Consciousness has allready accepted the dent in your car ) is what the mind is resisting.
That is why some people can be found looking with a goofy expression on their face towards the dent, shaking their head, sometimes rubbing their hands across the dented door ( as if that would help ).
All typical behaviour of a mind that is resisting to accept
what you allready know
If however the mind is acknowledged as a tool in your favour, which it is, this is easily seen and accepted, and you can immediately put the mind to work with more useful thoughts like : 'what is the best way to fix this'.
And then you take action to fix the dent.
Simple !
So, what you see is what you get, accept it, and if the situation can be improved by reacting to it, go for it with a 120 % effort.

Thanks again guys
There is just so much to think about. Great stuff once again, I think I am getting an idea of it.
1 seeing the things as they are, not as I am
2 living in the presence all the time
3 accept what I see
4 change what I can change if I want to, -> if not possible to change -> go back to step 3
Anyways I am not sure if I am able to apply this to my examples.
Is it ok if you go more into detail, specified to my examples?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

I will adress the examples in my next post.
But if there were exceptions to the rule, it would be a system, not reality.
There are no exceptions. It is as it is.
So, it will always apply to your examples.

A "better way" is a form of judgement created by your mind. Nothing wrong with that, it's what it is supposed to do. Now it is your task to judge the judgement. Is that judgement really what you need at this time ?
So, coming back to your example, a job that your mind judges as "stupid".
Is it ok to switch jobs so you have more fun working ? Sure !
Does it matter ? No !
You can do or not do whatever is needed or desired, as long as you don't identify with either job, boring or not.
What about a long sexual partnership, where you are not satisfied with sexually, get another partner or try to accept, that you wont get much more sex in the long run?
"in the long run"...
How long ? Are you planning how long you and your partner will have problems with sex ? How can you even know if you will still be alive tomorrow ?
Focus on the now. Are you having sexual problems
right now
No, you are reading this forum. I sincerely hope you are doing that without doing anything sexual at the same time
That is what identification is all about ! You are having sexual problems with your partner... that is pure nonsense ! You are reading the PM-forum right now.
I-dentification with a problem is causing all this, that is the root of the problem, not those few times that you are feeling unfulfilled in your sexual desires.
So does that mean that you can't do anything about the sexual problem itself ? No of course not, if it needs to be adressed, adress it. But for heaven's sake don't identify with the problem. Don't make it personal.
If you were to adress the problem with your partner while you identify with it, chances are very big that your partner will feel hurt, attacked or sad when you adress it.
Because you identify with the problem, think that the problem is part of you, of who you are, your judgement will be tainted with emotions.
So my advice is: first make sure to dis-identify with the problem ( or better yet, realise that identification with a problem is impossible ), and only then adress the problem together with your partner.
And BTW, I know what it's like. When I married my wife, we hadn't had sex for about 2 years.
Things got better because I decided to give my wife time to overcome her depression in those days. Now we have 2 healthy kids and I am happily married. But please don't take that as advice. Judge your problem without your memories, don't make it a re-action as Giles told you.
I could just stop thinking and just do and live in the present moment, without changing anything but accept facts.
I just dont get the accept everything approach, if I could accept everything I would just sit down and die, because it doesnt matter, does it?
Is that acceptance or fatalism ?

Wow thanks,
I really appreciate that you are so open with your personal experiences, even the tough ones, more specially with that.
Thanks a lot!
So, We had sexual problems in the past. It made me sad, but I let it go right now, and dont put anymore emotion into that.
I accept how our relationship is right now and define, what I want and that I have to work on that.
I also define goals and how to reach them.
I am happy that I can do something about it, because it will be better soon either way. On the one hand I can try to imrpove situation or if not possible, I become strong enough to let it go and move on.
This has been our problem in the past, and it is ok to think about it in an analytical way to think with some logic about it to learn from it, but not to put any emotion into that because it absolutely has no value anymore.
Ok with that? It is really hard to understand all that, so that I can use it in praxis.
As I ask about in my other thread, what about cheating partner without having a bad conscience?
Absolute fidelity without no sense can make very embittered and ultimately lead to thoughts of hate and beeing cheated by the partner in a different sort of way which leads to a justification. I felt like a victim, due to my tiny self-esteem (because I got it primary from my partner), I have been passive and unable to fight myself out of this situation. So I behaved like a coward, because I just didnt know how to excape from this situation. All this lead me to read books like Tolle and Co, because I drastically had the wish to improve myself.
What do you think of that?
Again thanks a lot for you help guys !
Best regards

Goodbye, Norma Jean?
It looks like Megan Fox is parting ways with her Marilyn Monroe tattoo. The large ink design on Fox's inner forearm has been steadily fading since October 2010.
Fox says she got the body art of the screen legend as a note of caution, telling Germany's Bunte magazine in 2009, "It warns me not to let myself be treated so badly by the film industry so that it breaks me down."
Whether it's just a makeup cover of a full laser removal, it appears Megan has had enough of Marilyn's reminder.

The museum's Prove It! website, which is designed to influence politicians at the Copenhagen climate summit in December, allows members of the public to pledge their support, or lack of it, to the environmentalist cause.
But so far those backing the campaign are out-numbered nearly six-to-one by opponents.
By Saturday, 2,385 people who took the poll said "count me out" compared to just 415 who said "count me in", after being asked whether they agreed with the statement: "I've seen the evidence. And I want the government to prove they're serious about climate change by negotiating a strong, effective, fair deal at Copenhagen."
The website, which accompanies a major new exhibition at the venerable South Kensington museum, claims to offer "all the evidence you need to believe in climate change".
Ed Miliband, the Energy and Climate Change Secretary, and David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, helped to launch the project by unveiling a map devised by the Met Office which depicts how Britain will be affected by rising sea levels, flood and drought if global temperatures rise more than seven degrees F (four degrees C).
At the launch, a statement from the Science Museum said: "We're convinced climate change is caused by humans and requires urgent action."
The Prove It! project is designed to win public support for a global deal on climate change, and will also be used by the Foreign Office to persuade other countries to agree a cut in greenhouse gas emissions.
A Science Museum spokesman said: "Three thousand responses in just three days shows how important this subject is in the run up to the Copenhagen summit.
"Prove It! has mobilised both sides of the debate and this was one of the aims of the project. The Science Museum stands by its position that climate change is real and urgent."
Results of the poll, are due to be published in December.

Tenerife Clubbing Holidays
Tenerife Nightlife
The nightlife in Tenerife is considered to be the biggest and most popular in the Canary Islands. Tenerife clubbing holidays offer late night bars, foam parties and top nightclubs with international DJs performing regularly. But Tenerife nightlife also offers an authentic Spanish experience with laid-back bars and local music. Whether you're looking for late night tapas followed by relaxed drinks in the traditional open bars or prefer to take advantage of cheap drink promotions and dance till dawn, the nightlife in Tenerife will suit all moods and tastes.
Nightlife in Tenerife - South
The most popular place to find Tenerife clubs is in the lively resort of Playa de las Americas. The best late night bars and clubs in Tenerife are centralised in three areas; Veronica Strip, The Patch and Starco. Starco and the Patch have a high concentration of bars offering drink promotions and a fun atmosphere. Starco is also home to the popular nightclub Tramps Tenerife. Veronica Strip has a huge choice of clubs and DJs all offering different music and different events but all ready to party till dawn. Playa de las Americas nightlife is some of the wildest and fun you can find on Tenerife.
There are other clubbing options in Tenerife away from Playa de las Americas; the resort of Los Cristianos also has a vibrant party scene. With a variety of late night bars and clubs on offer, visit the San Telmo area in Los Cristianos to experience some great Tenerife nightlife.
Nightlife in Tenerife - North
If however you're looking to experience some authentic Spanish nightlife in Tenerife try a night out in the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The vibrant northern town has a relaxed approach to going out and, as is traditional in Spain, the nightlife doesn't get started till late. When it does though, the streets are filled with welcoming alfresco bars offering tasty cocktails and lots of room for dancing. Partying in Santa de Cruz Tenerife isn't as wild as the hedonistic southern coasts but it is a great location for a true Spanish night out – and there's even a casino if you're feeling lucky.
Tenerife Clubs
From world-famous DJs to intimate bars by the sea, nightlife in Tenerife will have something for everyone on a night out. Here are some of the most popular venues:
- Tramps Tenerife, Starco, Playas de las Americas: Open 9pm to 6am. World class DJs, themed parties every day of the week, Dance and R&B across its three main rooms.
- Sugareef Tenerife Terrace & Club, Veronica Strip, Playas de las Americas: Open 9pm to Late. Resident DJ James Hanbury plays the best of chart, R&B, hip hop and dance during the week. Themed weekend parties.
- Linikers Bar, Staco, Playas de las Americas: 12pm – Late. Run by the famous Liniker family. Linikers Bars are well liked by British revellers due to the daily food and drink promotions and live screenings of football at the weekends.
- Faro Chill Art, Costa Adeje. Open 7pm – 6am. This boat shaped bar offers something different to the big clubs. Regularly has live music, comedy nights. Great views of ocean.
- A Suade, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Open 10pm – Late. Large club close to the capital, themed nights and live music.
- Sabuu, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Open 10pm – Late. Modern club for late night dancing.

During the writing of my portions of XML And ASP.NET, I strove to avoid using the same wording or structure as any of the MSDN content available at the time. I frequently asked my wife to help me find a different angle to explaining a concept. She is not really interested in technical content, and she grew a little tired of my asking. I briefly explained the concept of HttpBrowserCapabilities and asked her to help me describe it and some of the properties of the object. One property I mentioned is the .AOL property, to which she giggled:
"The AOL property indicates if the user's computer has been infected with a virus, commonly spread in CD form."
"The AOL property indicates if the user's computer has been infected with a virus, commonly spread in CD form."
I was a little disgruntled that the editor pulled that line and replaced it with something more politically correct. It's not like I was trying to write something as flagrantly offensive as Mr. Feuerstein's examples.
Instead of injecting technical material with political discourse, maybe Mr. Bunny ought to take on Threading.

The Economics of Desecration: Flag Burning and Related Activities
When a symbol is desecrated, the desecrator obtains benefits while other people incur costs. Negative externalities are intrinsic to desecration, suggesting a case for government regulation if the costs exceed the benefits. The case for restrictions is especially strong because of the impracticality of Coasean bargaining and the possibility of efficient lawbreaking. In addition, desecration reduces the incentive for the creation and maintenance of symbols, which, like other goods, need property-rights protection for efficient production.

Remote Patrol: FOX team left a lot to be desired calling BCS National Championship
Fox Sports' third and final telecast of a BCS national championship game came up lacking. The network covers only five college football games a season, and it clearly showed Thursday night.
Give me ABC's Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit any day over Fox Sports team of Thom Brennaman and Charles Davis. It likely will be Musburger and Herbstreit who will call the 2010 national championship game from the Rose Bowl for ABC. The BCS television rights then move to ESPN in 2011. Brennaman, a veteran announcer who also broadcasts Big Ten network games, had a sloppy night with numerous mistakes. He clearly had trouble following the action on the field. Among his blunders: * Failing to name Nic Harris as the defender who came up with the Sooners' first interception of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. * Losing a down when the Sooners were stopped on the goal line in the second quarter. He mistakingly thought it was fourth-and-goal when it was third down, and Davis failed to correct him. * Referring to OU running back Chris Brown as Allen Patrick on a long run by Brown. * Failing to realize Florida's Ahmad Black had come up with an interception. Brennaman and his Fox cohorts went overboard in gushing about how great a man Tebow is off the field.

Vaughn, Jim, I met Dick Sullivan in Santa Fe and had a great time out there, first time in the area in fact. Jim, Dick said the Carbon prints you sent him were very impressive, he liked them a lot. I wish that Vaughn was was there in Yosemite a few days ago, I could have used some help with locations. The park is getting so overcrowded these days that people pop up on the ground glass like Wack-a-moles. Anyway it was a great trip, three weeks, way too much stimulation and way to much to take in but I would not have missed it for the world.
Now that my Carbon printing is coming along I only have to solve some hundreds of little things to perfect it. I have a lot of film to develop and will be busy for a while. I'm still coming down from the last leg of the journey, Redding to Everett. There were some parts that I didn't see because I was talking about something and my wife was tuning me out but didn't interrupt so I spaced out and lost track of time. Entire stretches of highway were missing, cruise control, some music, and a good conversation with myself got me through. The rental car was a Nissan Altima 2.5 Liter engine which was a full sized car they say, it go no less than 30.5 miles per gallon. It was large enough to hold all my stuff and was very fast on the get go. Very impressive.

current bprd log got removed
I ahve a Master server running as a cluster on 188.8.131.52. I have opened case for a RMAN backup failure , while uploading the logs from the master server. How can i make bprd to start writing to the new log file.
any suggestions?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
bprdreq -rereadconfig will re-read the bp.conf or registry. It will not allow certain logs to be at verbose level (such as bpdbm) without them being restarted, but most logs will be (bpcd, bprd, bptm, bpbrm etc)
Of course, you need to have the log directories created under <install_path>/netbackup/logs/ too
You need to restart NBU for bprd to start logging.
If you have a very busy environment where it is not possible to restart all NBU processes, you can restart bprd as follows:
bprdreq -terminate
(use bpps to confirm that all bprd processes have stopped)
I have not had success with bprdreq -rereadconfig.
Your subject says current bprd log got removed.
What makes you say that?
Log folders do not exist by default. They must be created.
Daemon/services that run all the time need to be restarted to enable logging.
OH!! Wait!!
Your master server is clustered!
Do not use NBU commands to stop/start NBU processes - it will cause the cluster to register a fault and try to restart or failover.
Use cluster commands to offline and online the cluster resource - not entire service group, just the NBU resource.

Song Title: Redneck Yacht Club
I'm meetin' my buddies out on the lake
We're headed out to a special place (We love!)
That just a few folks know
There's no signin' up, no monthly dues
Take your Johnson, your Mercury or your Evinrude and fire it up
Meet us out at party cove
Come on in the waters fine
Just idle on over, and toss us a line
Basstrackers, Bayliners and a party barge,
Strung together like a floatin' trailer park
Anchored out and gettin' loud all summer long
Side by side there's five houseboat front porches
Astroturf, lawn chairs and tiki torches
Regular joes, rockin' the boat that's us
The Redneck Yacht Club
Bermuda's, flip-flops and a tank top tan
He popped his first top at 10 a.m., (That's Bob!)
He's our president
We're checkin' out the girls on the upper deck
Rubbin' in the 15 S-P-F, (Its hot! Whoo!)
Everybody's jumpin' in
Later on when the sun goes down
We'll pull out the jar and that old guitar
And pass 'em around
When the party's over and we're all alone
We'll be makin' waves, in a no wake zone
Redneck Yacht Club
(Na, na, na)
Redneck Yacht Club
(Na, na, na)

fuel system upgrade?
Well the truck started to use alot of fuel over the past couple days and I started taking stuff apart and thought it was the fuel pump, but it turned out to be the blue fuel lines. Well I ended up taking the stock fuel filter housing off and was thinking, would it make sense to tap into the stock fuel lines on the frame rail. Mount an aftermarket filter and water seperator system. Than on top of the motor mount a pressure regulator and just use the stock pump and most of the stock lines. Im not planning on doing bigger than stage 1 injectors so I dont really need the big fuel system but a decent upgrade would be nice and Im kinda on a tight budget thats why I would be nice to use some of the stock stuff.
Any opinions?
Yea, you can use the stock lines up to the heads.....Your looking at a new fuel pump...one form a SD truck, fuel regulator, fittings, new lines for the regulator and for feed... highly recomend a FWS if your gonna eliminate the fuel bowl. It works like this.....run tap into the lines at the top of the engine, The feed line will need to be T'd off...so you can feed both heads. The return side (front of heads) needs to be plumbed into the regulator....then back into the return line.
As far as plumbing into the tank supply...I tapped into it after the tank selector switch. The filter set up will have to be plumbed in by tapping into and out off the stock lines, if you choose to use them.
I ran all new line #6 wire braid... but I had the line laying around to use. Also had to change the fittings in the rear (feed) of the heads. I picked up the fuel supply after the tank selector....I made my own bracket to mount the fuel pump and filter on.
Fuel flow..... from the tank, thru the selector, into the filter, to the pump, into a FWS, to the heads, out the heads into the regulator, into the return side at the tank selector.
Eleminate the fuel bowl, and remove the stock pump. Use a freeze plug to block off the hole in the valley from the stock pump. Easier on you if you remove the turbo.
Its alot to do, more than I figured....I changed over due to lack of volume to feed my stage 2 injectors. Its a good setup, just time consuming. I wouldnt do it unless I was planning on running bigger than stage 1 injectors in the future.
how much do you think it cost you?
and also I noticed there was I think maybe 3 electrical plugs that go into the stock filter housing? What did you do with those?

A child who can't stop scratching himself may well be suffering from atopic dermatitis, also known as neurodermatitis. Extreme irritability of the skin with a concomitant urge to scratch is typical of the disorder. The condition often appears during the first year of life and is on the increase in industrialized countries. The patient's skin becomes hypersensitive and reacts strongly to even mild irritation. A research team led by Dr. Astrid Peters and Professor Katja Radon from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich has just published a longitudinal study which monitored the course of the disease in almost 4000 subjects from early childhood to adulthood. The participants also supplied information regarding atopic reactions and occupational exposure to possible sensitizing agents. "Based on the data we obtained, we developed a probabilistic model that can predict the progress of the disorder during puberty, a phase which is often critical", says Radon. "It emerged that the most important risk factor for adolescents is occupational exposure to substances such as flour or disinfectants. These results have significant implications for patient care, particularly with respect to their career choices." (Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology online, 07 September 2010)
Neurodermatitis is very stressful, both for young patients and for their parents. The chronic irritability of nerve endings in the skin associated with the condition can cause young children to scratch until they bleed, which in turn may lead to infection of the inflamed skin. Atopic eczema, the medical term for neurodermatitis, is classified as an allergic disorder. The condition most likely results from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Cigarette smoke and household dust are among the factors associated with the disease, while contact with siblings or other children reduces risk. The incidence of atopic eczema among children in developed nations is steadi

Multiple issues with my new 6.0
I have a 05 CC F350 dually with the auto trans...I installed a Juice box, 5" exhaust, and AFE air box at 200 miles. This past weekend I was pulling my other truck to a show 300 miles north and 1/4 of a mile from my house I blew the intake tube off of it, making a nice dent in the hood; and I had it down on stock. I put it back on and it made it another 130 miles before it blew again, this time at the intercooler below the air box. I noticed right before it blew that she was pulling really hard and showed 32 psi of boost on my guage. I dropped the trailer and bobtailed 35 miles back to the nearest dealer. They replaced the hose assembly with the updated aluminum one. I went about my business, but noticed that even in cruise it would pulse every so often and the tranny seemed to be slipping. I took it up the road about an hour ago and turned the box all the way up to see what it would do, and its not even half of what it used to do, and that was only 9000 miles ago. I pulled the juice box off of it just now and am pondering taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this scenerio and what remedied the problem. I would think it different had I just put the upgrades on it, but since they were installed so early, I doubt that is the problem. And to make things worse, this is the first load I hauled. I am kicking myself right now for selling my 7.3
WELCOME Regan!
I've read where a few people have had the problem with the hose coming off too. It was something as I recall with a clamp and the dealers were aware of it and would replace it with a better one. I need to check mine out.
As far as the performance issue I'm not sure. Maybe someone on here running a setup similar could chime in. I think it's probably just a minor issue - although a PITA for you right now and once it's corrected you'll enjoy you're 6.0 like the rest of us.
NOT that there is a problem with the 7.3 you guys!
No, there has never been a problem with the 7.3L ever, you are correct

Charles Dickens and Nelly Ternan met in 1857; she was 18, a hard-working actress performing in his production of The Frozen Deep, and he was 45, the most lionized writer in England. Out of their meeting came a love affair that lasted thirteen years and destroyed Dickens's marriage while effacing Nelly Ternan from the public record.
In this remarkable work of biography and scholarly reconstruction, the acclaimed biographer of Mary Wollstonecraft, Thomas Hardy, Samuel Pepys and Jane Austen rescues Nelly from the shadows of history, not only returning the neglected actress to her rightful place, but also providing a compelling portrait of the great Victorian novelist himself. The result is a thrilling literary detective story and a deeply compassionate work that encompasses all those women who were exiled from the warm, well-lighted parlors of Victorian England.
About the Author
Mary Shelley (1797-1851), best known as the author of "Frankenstein," was the daughter of Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft and wife of Percy Bysse Shelley.
Claire Tomalin is the author of a number of prizewinning biographies, most recently of "Jane Austen: A Life,"

The Venta Waterfall
The Venta waterfall (Ventas rumba) is the widest waterfall in Europe.
An interesting phenomenon can be observed near the waterfall in spring and autumn when spawning fish try to get over the waterfall by jumping through the air. While the beauty of the Venta waterfall is not the wild, breathtaking beauty of the major waterfalls in the world, the Venta waterfall and the old brick bridge still create the impression of an idyllic, quiet town. Looking from the side of the bridge, it seems to be just a small waterfall.
To appreciate its true beauty, one must spend at least ten to fifteen minutes there and climb down to one of the river banks.

Credit Control measures of Reserve Bank of India
There are two types of methods:
Quantitative control to regulates the volume of total credit.
Qualitative Control to regulates the flow of credit
Quantitative methods:
Manipulation of Bank Rate :
Bank rate is the rate at which the reserve bank is prepared to buy or re discount bills of exchange or other commercial paper eligible for purchase under the act.Increase the bank rate reduces the credit creation power of banks and decrease in bank rate increases the credit creation power of the banks.
Open market operations :
The term open market operation refers to purchase or sale of government securities by the central bank.Purchase of securities by the central bank in open market reduces in multiple expansion of credit and sale of securities leads to credit contraction by the bank.
Manipulation of Cash reserve ratio : CRR
The central bank can control credit by variation of cash reserve ratio.A raise in this ratio reduces the credit creation ability of the banks and results it in increasing the credit creation ability of the banks.
Repo & Reverse Repo
Altering Statutory Liquidity Ratio
Qualitative Methods:
Selective Qualitative Credit controls
With the help of selective credit control methods the central bank can control and direct the flow of credit in the country. Rationing of credit is involved in this. These control regulates the use of credit by discriminating between essential and non essential purposes.
Moral persuasion and direct action :
Central bank may refuse to grant further loans or re discount of bill for the banks to control their credit creation ability.The central bank may request banks not to use the accommodation of obtained for financing speculative or non essential transactions.

We liked the flavors in this, but as others have mentioned, the texture was off. I used the creamiest cheddar I could find, but it came out very grainy and clumped almost immediately. Not sure this will be a repeat dish.flag if inappropriate
The combination of flavors were distinct,but the color was unappetizing, and it was grainy although we used a good quality of Irish cheddaras suggested. This did not beat out another beer and cheddar recipe we prefer, so we won't spend the extra money to make this one again.flag if inappropriate
Made this for New Year's Eve dinner with my husband and two children -- it was extraordinarily good! We modified the recipe: used 5-year-old white cheddar and substituted a cream ale for the stout (thought Guinness might be too strong a taste for the kids). Also used fresh-pressed apple cider instead of apple juice concentrate. The texture was smooth and creamy (I think the quality of the cheese is key here) and the taste was divine. We served it with steamed broccoli, cauliflower, ruby red fingerling potatoes, French bread and apples and loved them all. It was one of those meals where everyone kept saying "Ooh" and "Aaah." Would definitely do this again.flag if inappropriate
This was good, but the cheddar got gummy. Next time I might add some Velveeta to keep it smooth. GASP.flag if inappropriate
Delicious!! Described as a first course, this recipe works better as a main course because the use of stout makes for a very rich fondue. I made a beer bread (again with stout) that went really well with it. The bread could have made it a stout overload, but was subtle enough that it paired well. And I just realized that I forgot the apples! Looks like I've got to start all over again! Yum!flag if inappropriate
I'm makin this tonight. Leah http://thesnackingchef.blogspot.comflag if inappropriate
I always make fondue using beer. I think Stout may be a little strong for my tastes but that is just personal perference. I also put a smashed garlic clove in with the liquid as I heat it and remove it before adding the cheese.flag if inappropriate
I also used sam Adams Light and it was wonderful! Dipped bread, apples and asparagus. Will def be making this again.flag if inappropriate
I have made several beer cheese dips and fondues and have found that I don't enjoy the flavor. I like beer and cheese seperately though :) When I made this the texture was a little grainy but I didn't use high quality cheese. If you like beer and cheese dips this recipe is for you, I just personally don't care for it.flag if inappropriate
Fabulous! It had such an amazing flavor that even my kids enjoyed, too!flag if inappropriate

I LOVE. It's winter, needing extra moisture- I found the HG~ my hubby and I bought this at costco for $7 on rebate. I was so excited. I have very pale sensitive skin on the sometimes dry side. I also have Rosacea. This stuff is so thick and moisturizing but gentle as water. I just adore it and the huge size is going to last me so long.

This cream is amazing. I use it at night on my face. It does leave a greasy residue which is why I only use it at night, but it moisturizes very deeply and when I wake up in the morning my skin is still moisturized. The container is huge and will last me a very long time. I don't like that it's in a jar because it is not very sanitary but this cream is way to thick to dispense through a pump. Overall I really enjoy this as a night cream.

I bought this because I needed a new very hydrating moisturizer for my face, however after a week of use or so it broke me out with little pimples. Of course I've stopped using it for my face, but I still use it for my body (and I have very mild eczema; a few random patches) and it seems to work well.

I really like this cream! I'm on retin a and my skin is severely dry right now. This awful Michigan winter isn't helping much either. I use this morning and night and I don't think it's too greasy. You only need a little bit of it and it'll sink right in. Of course if you use too much it will just sit on your face. No smell, doesn't cause me to break out. This 16 oz. jar will last me forever. I've had it a few weeks now and I've barely scratched the surface. Cerave cream burned my face so I tried this. Great product :)

This product is amazing for dry skin. I have very dry skin and have tried many expensive products and this is by far the best.
After using it one time, the dry flakes on my chin were gone and my face was so soft. And to make this product better, it is so cheap! The only downside is that the packaging is a bit ugly.
great for dry and sensitive skin.

This product is cheap and effective.
Best if applied in a thin layer. I applied it too thickly previously and I broke out on my cheeks.
It comes in a huge tub which lasts for ages so the fact that you've got to stick your hands in there again and again means it's probably not very hygienic. Someone suggested getting the cream out with a cotton bud/something other than your hand but I couldn't be bothered. Needs to be in a pump container.

This cream is really good only in cases where your skin is really dry.This product doesn't brake me out even though it's thick.This is only like a night moisturizer because it might make you a little greasy at the end of the day.

Used for years. No further irritation, breakouts, nada. I can finally say that I trust this product with my skin. When I was at my worst acne wise, this did not harm it. And when I went on medication, I followed with this, and my skin improved drastically!
I wish it came in a pump, though.
Try it. I love it ^_^ <3
Still loving for three years.
Still LOVE.

Love this! During the winter my skin gets super dry and flakey...and my mom commented to me how cakey my makeup looked because of my dry skin (I don't wear a lot of makeup at all). A friend brought it over once and I used it overnight- AMAZING! My skin was smooth and silky, and felt very moisturized. I washed my face with a gentle cleanser in the morning and my makeup went on much easier and blended perfectly, it looked so flawless and felt so good!
After she left, I didn't use anything and my skin started to go back to dry and pastey, flakey looking. I immediately went to the store and picked some up..$15, not a bad price, seemed expensive compared to all the $5 products surrounding it, but definitely worth it! Upon using it, my skin has looked gorgeous and brightened, and it helps my makeup so much! I now get complements on my beaming skin that I didn't before. I don't know what its like in the summer, it might be a little thick, but if just used overnight I think it will be amazing:)
As for breakouts, I'm prone to breakout with dryer skin, so it helped clear me up a lot!
