A crowd at P.J. Whelihan's in Cherry Hill gathers to watch Monday night's Eagles-Saints game.
- Filed Under
Even the intoxicating smell of Buffalo wings couldn't mask the uneasiness felt by Eagles fans Monday night as they sat and watched the latest must-win game, this one against the New Orleans Saints.
"There is a lot riding on this game," said Ken Alleman of Mount Laurel. "This could make or break the season."
On Monday night, fans who gathered at P.J. Whelihan's in Cherry Hill to watch the game hadn't given up hope yet and felt the team had a shot at making the playoffs. ...

Not long after Hotmail attempted to block spam e-mail outright using a publicly available list of spam servers, Yahoo! has now entered into the spam filtering war. Yahoo! developed the filtering software in-house and will not stop it from flowing, but will put suspected spam in a separate folder so that it is not mixed in with your normal mail.
Hotmail's spam filters block suspected spam completely and do not give users a chance to view it. Hotmail users complained that the use of the public filters did not slow the flow of spam.
Read more at CNet.
It's a good move by Yahoo! to let the users still see the spam at least. If you can see what gets blocked and what doesn't get blocked, all you have to do is a case study of a bunch of mailboxes and use heuristics to determine which mails go into the "spam folder" and which mails don't.
That may be more complex than what Yahoo! is doing, but it is a possibility. The longer the system works, the higher the accuracy of of the filters. How hard can it be?
It can be quite tough, because some users will decide that e-mail lists they signed up for, or were signed up for by others, are spam and should be blocked. If those mails are treated as spam, other users will get irritated at having their mailing list mail get stuck in the spam folder.

QUOTE (dnmilikan @ May 22 2003, 11:45 AM)

 This gives me a zone I density of .10 density above fb+fog.

I have never understood why anyone cares about Zone I. It's density is not useful in any way since it's on the non-linear portion of the curve. Suppose you get a Zone I of .35 over f+b How do you adjust it? And even if you do find the "proper" .1 over f+b, it tells you nothing about how to adjust for the zones you do care about; namely zones III-VIII.
Before I standardized on a staining developer I used to test a new film by finding the exposure index which would get zone III up off the toe. Then I starting using pyro and now I just print them on a Grade 2 paper and judge the local contrast. My prints are much better for it.

Hoke said he likes the changes on his coaching staff and that this year's team has good chemistry.
- Filed Under
Brady Hoke sat on the balcony in Schembechler Hall, facing the indoor football field, and said some things that made my jaw drop.
After juggling his coaching staff, after playing a (sloppy) spring game, after studying the film and talking to almost all of his players, Hoke said he likes the coaching changes that he has made because the team is getting consistent coaching.
And when he said that, he seemed to imply that the team didn't get consistent coaching last year. ...

Heck, I wish you had a COS Hair Salon too!Rekha P | April 6, 2015
Overall, I appreciate the quality of service that is provided by your customer service representatives and delivery drivers.

Your employees are great to work with and I am happy with the service and attention they provide.Sea Mar CHC | March 31, 2015

Just wanted to shoot you a quick email to let you know how much we appreciate Mike the delivery guy. Today he delivered a large cabinet (125+ lbs) for Jill's office and rather than just drop it inside the door and leave he took that extra minute to find me and ask where in the office it needed to go. We took it straight there and then he also helped me get it out of the box so I could make sure there was no damage, etc. Mike is always upbeat and helpful when he comes in here, a combination that can be rare to find sometimes. I feel he is deserving of some recognition from us as I think he is definitely representing Complete Office well.Arthritis Northwest, PLLC | April 9, 2012

Remember Me
It's generally accepted that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but when a CD comes wrapped in smokable cellophane, the cover might be a good place to start. Inside, the Boston-based collective's seventh release, Perhapsody Live 10.12.06, captures the live energy that they've brought to the stage of the Lizard Lounge almost every other week since their inception in '98. The blend of jazz, prog-rock, drum 'n' bass and Moroccan folk makes one wish that catchall labels like "acid-jazz" hadn't been extinguished decades ago. In this particular instance, the packaging might just be a proper indication of what's to come.
Over two discs worth of aqueous, inspired grooves, the latest Club d'Elf lineup finds keyboardist John Medeski (MMW), guitarists Dave Tronzo (Sex Mob) and Duke Levine (Shawn Colvin), turntablist Mister Rourke and horn players Tom Hall and Tom Halter (Either/Orchestra) wound around the core rhythm section of drummer Erik Kerr and bassist- sintir player Mike Rivard. Despite its collaborative scaffolding, Club d'Elf orbits this rhythmic nucleus like a seasoned, monogamous outfit. Exceedingly bass-centric, it is Rivard who anchors the proceedings and directs each permutation.
The result is deep, organic electronica, more primal-trance than '90s rave with a trip-hop beat stemming from sax and turntables that can skip at a moment's notice into eerie gamelan meditations before crescendoing into a drum 'n' bass blow-out, complete with 8-bit bleeps and hovering Wurlitzer. Tracks like "Life of the Mind" utilize complex rhythmic figures as platforms for ecstatic improvisation, especially from Medeski, whose one-two punch of obtuse atmospherics and angular melodic lines are at their most characteristic. While "Berber Song" nods to Rivard's roots in Moroccan folk music, the proggy "Goblin Garden" pays homage to Italian horror director Dario Argento.
Though the exclusive product of live improvisation, a studio quality often emerges, especially from Mister Rourke's sample board. Phasing drum samples compliment Kerr's live beats, and slices of sci-fi dialogue dart in-and-out of dark organ passages. Particularly apropos are the fragments of psychedelic guru Terrence McKenna 's testimony on what he calls "elf music," buried in the two-part "Salvia" sequence.
At once architectural and fluid, Perhapsody was no doubt properly handled before the shrink-wrap went on. Lucky for us, that responsibility carries over to when the wrapper comes off.

I have this!!! Its really cool, if you like Medeski inspired jazz funk with saxaphone!! Mike Rivard is a great writer and player. This is his brainchild. He is very fortunate to have Medeski playing with this group. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes a jazz,funk, fusion!!!!
What to say about this cd and about Club D'Elf itself? This collective plays monthly at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge MA, and quite frankly, I think they are probably the best thing going in the Boston area. Why is this? For one there is always a different lineup and a different style of playing and two, the musicianship is through the roof. Oh and one other thing, these cats barely ever rehearse before a show. Spot-on bassist and core member Mike Rivard, brilliantly puts together a different group of top-tier musicians for each show, and it virtually always works. So yeah Club D'Elf is a jam, but it far transcends the title of jam band. If only all jam bands sounded like Club D'Elf on a bad night...I might not be so bummed out about the scene. Oh and the Perhapsody cd is probably the best introduction to this band/collective. You just can't beat this particular lineup. Dave Tronzo + Duke Levine + John Medeski = bliss. I am glad to see this cd covered, because it is a GEM. Check out the "Tingler" track....talk about a slow burn.
matthau, try garaj mahal if you dig Club D elf.
i got turned on to these guys about a year ago....fantastic band with deep, interesting grooves. do yourself a favor and check em out.

There's no zanier holiday for marketing than April Fools' Day. It's the one day when you can play a fool and get away with it. Many companies pull crazy publicity stunts on April Fools' Day, from Google to BMW, and there's no reason you can't get in the mix and boost your brand recognition while earning some free press to go with it
Here are some ideas for off-the-wall April Fools' Day marketing strategies you can deploy this year:
It's a hoax!
The pranks, scandals and outright hoaxes from April Fools' Day past are legendary. Perhaps you remember Google offering Internet service via toilet plumbing, BMW promising to sell cars with mini-wipers for the hood ornaments, or the BBC running a 1957 documentary on spaghetti farming. If you run a quick online search for famous April Fools' Day pranks and hoaxes, you'll literally come across hundreds perpetrated by companies, radio stations, magazines, newspapers, students and the public at-large.
Conduct some research to get inspiration for your big April Fools' Day hoax. It could be as simple as press release or as oversized as a 100-foot banner draped over your storefront or on an overpass. Or, you could send postcards and distribute posters and flyers. Your hoax could be an over-the-top announcement or a hijinx filled event. Whatever it is, make sure you're large and in charge … a weak breeze barely gets noticed, but an enormous gust makes a lasting impression. Take the competition by storm!
Break a world record
Consult Guinness World Records to see what world records you might be able to vie for on April Fools' Day. You could make a serious attempt at breaking a record, or you could make your world record-breaking attempt part of your prank. Perhaps you could make up a ridiculous world record, whether recognized by Guinness or not, such as most people inside your place of business at one time (which could be three depending on your business) or most people tearing the "legs" off of rubber frog balls at once (which could potentially be one, since it's likely never been officially recorded). A bit of tongue-in-cheek is expected on April Fools' Day!
Just be funny
Simply finding a humorous slant to exploit on April Fools' Day is often enough to generate buzz via word of mouth. One company made a large banner that blended in with its surroundings, save for a fake cop car depicted at the side of the road. And how about Burger King's "left-handed" Whopper? The sandwich joke was incredibly popular, especially once people began requesting left- or right-handed Whoppers through the restaurant chain's drive-thu windows!
Now, do your own research and read this Museum of Hoaxes article on the Top 100 April Fools' Hoaxes of All Time. Before you know it, you'll have a list of ideas you could turn into great publicity-generating pranks this year. Find something relevant to your business and your customers that's also newsworthy, and plan to pull it off right. If you manage to come up with a tasteful-yet-outrageous idea, the buzz will turn into sales.

U.S. refineries expand to meet stronger demand for diesel
Posted By Wayne Grayson On August 8, 2013 @ 10:00 am In Construction News | No Comments
After becoming a net exporter of petroleum just two years ago, the United States is now the world's largest and is quickly becoming "refiner to the world," thanks to growing interest in diesel coupled with shrinking demand for gasoline, according to a report from NBC News. [2]
"Any companies with refining assets on the Gulf Coast are expanding their export terminals," Fadel Gheit, senior energy analyst at Oppenheimer, told NBC.
Diesel is a better deal for U.S. refineries than gasoline in two very big ways: the margins are much higher and demand is growing at twice the rate. Diesel is used much more widely outside of the U.S. (though demand for the fuel is growing here as well [3]), while gasoline demand is dropping here as drivers opt for more fuel efficient vehicles.
The U.S. exported 1 million barrels a day of diesel fuel for the week ended Aug. 2, according to NBC. That's up from the 840,000 barrels a week earlier this summer.
In March, ExxonMobil released a forecast that expects diesel to overtake gasoline as the top transportation fuel by 2020. [4]

Rick Warren claims he never said it:
I have been accused of equating gay partnerships with incest and pedophilia. Now of course as members of Saddleback Church you know I believe no such thing, I never have. You've never once heard me in 30 years heard me talk that way about that.
Rachel Maddow has the video proving him wrong.
Rick Warren: But the issue to me is, I'm not opposed to that as much as I'm opposed to the redefinition of a 5,000-year definition of marriage. I'm opposed to having a brother and sister be together and call that marriage. I'm opposed to an older guy marrying a child and calling that a marriage. I'm opposed to one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage.
Steven Waldman: Do you think, though, that they are equivalent to having gays getting married?
Rick Warren: Oh I do.
(Transcript via Pam's House Blend; video via Dispatches from the Culture Wars.)
Maybe Warren misspoke; if so, the thing to do is apologize and move on. Instead, Warren simply lies about what he said.
The video is also well worth watching for Katha Pollitt's segment at the end, in which she outlines some of Warren's genuinely outlandish misogyny. For instance, you probably already knew that Rick Warren thinks wives should be subject to their husbands; but did you know that Warren says the only acceptable reasons for divorce are abandonment and infidelity? Abused spouses, presumably, should just suck it up.
Transcript of Maddow's chat with Pollitt is below the fold.
Joining us now is Katha Pollitt, a columnist with "The Nation" and author of "Learning to Drive: And Other Stories," which is currently on sale now. Katha, nice to see you, thanks for coming in.
KATHA POLLITT, AUTHOR, "LEARNING TO DRIVE: AND OTHER STORIES": Thanks so much for having me.
MADDOW: I was surprised that Rick Warren is continuing to talk about this publicly. Are you?
POLLITT: No, I`m not. Rick Warren, I think when you said he confuses himself with Christ, I think you`re on to something. The man obviously has a colossal ego. He`s a best-selling author. He`s got churches all over the place. He is not going to shrink away. This is a big opportunity for him.
MADDOW: The thing that seems, I guess, even more surprising to me in watching this 22-minute video today and spending more time than I ever thought I would in my life with learning about him and his politics as an activism, is that he sort of seems like a "not ready for primetime player" here.
That was an unscripted 22-minute screed that had a lot of very impolitic comments, things that are not going to help President-elect Obama take this heat for having extended this invitation. I would have thought that a man that`s so experienced internationally and in national politics would be more careful.
POLLITT: Well, I had a different feeling about that video which I watched while I was having my little dinner before coming here. I thought, my god. He`s very – he does project that teddy bear geniality – I`m talking to you. He has that ability to seem like he`s just talking to one person when he`s talking to, you know, hundreds of – however many – hundreds of thousands are watching.
And I thought that the things that you noticed would fly by the people that that was aimed at who share those beliefs. They also think that they`re the real Christians. So if you don`t like Rick Warren, you don`t like Christ.
MADDOW: How big of a political problem is this for Barack Obama? And is it getting larger or getting smaller?
POLLITT: Well, I think it is getting larger. I think that the Proposition 8 and the disappointment and anger over that has given it a news hook that might not otherwise be there. When I wrote about it in the "L.A. Times," I focused on some of the other things that Rick Warren believes that I find very disturbing.
Besides the anti-gay stuff and the anti-gay marriage stuff, that he has compared people who are pro-choice to holocaust deniers. He says that women who have abortions are like Nazis. And compared – you know, it`s like comparing their wounds to Auschwitz.
He has very disturbing ideas about the inequality between the sexes, that he believes, and his church believes – it`s all over the church`s Web site – that wives should be subject to their husbands and that the husbands where it goes.
I learned today – and I think everybody should spend time on the Saddleback Web site because it`s very educational. He believes there are only two reasons you can get divorced, so all those gays who want to get married better think about this.
MADDOW: Yes. The exit strategy.
POLLITT: And the reasons are abandonment and infidelity, but abuse is not a reason. Abuse is not a reason for divorce.
MADDOW: Wow. I think that this problem is getting larger for Barack Obama, and I think that is largely the choice of Rick Warren at this point which itself should be a bit of a warning bell. Katha Pollitt, columnist at "The Nation," author of "Learning to Drive: And Other Life Stories," it`s really nice to see you. Thanks for coming in. `
POLLITT: Thanks so much for having me.

Western Washington University rowing champ maps her future
August 18, 2009
By Matthew Thompson
"Once a rower, always a rower," NCAA Division II champion Hilary Gastwirth says when asked about her future.
At 22, Gastwirth possesses more experience than most of her peers, taking pride and ownership in winning three individual NCAA titles and was a member of the four-time NCAA II championship team.
It all began when she was 15. One day, she accompanied her mom to watch her cousin Casey Clingan compete on Lake Washington with the University of Washington crew team. During the competition, her uncle, Wes Clingan, a member of the 1972 and 1973 championship UW row teams, turned to her and said that she had the right build for the sport and should consider looking into it.
One call to the Sammamish Rowing Association was all she needed. She bid farewell to middle school basketball and never looked back."I started that summer, and loved it," she said.
She admitted that while attending Liberty High School, school came easy, with a practice schedule from 3:30-5 or 6:30 p.m. Attending Western Washington University presented constructive challenges with her practice schedule moving to 5-7 a.m. with an 8 a.m. class often following.
"College is a lot more intense with the amount of work level and then the early practices," Gastwirth acknowledged.
Practices are Monday through Friday, combined with a three-hour Saturday practice that also includes individual practice time in the afternoon. While the afternoon practice was not necessarily required, "to get anywhere and move ahead" you need to practice, she said.
Western Washington ranks second nationally in the US Rowing/Collegiate Rowing coaches association NCAA II poll. Western set an extraordinary accomplishment by winning its fourth straight national title.
Gastwirth belongs to the varsity four-crew team, helping drive the boat by following the stroke. The stroke sets the rhythm for the other members on the boat with Gastwirth driving the "engine." Coach John Fuchs, who just completed his 11th year as the women's coach, followed his team to Camden, N.J., to compete in the championship where they captured the title. This was Gastwirth's final run after four years at Western.
"You have to be dedicated to get up every day for four years," Fuchs said of Gastwirth.
He added that she is a hard worker, and that everyone can get along with her, a vital trait to own when rowing as a team.
Gastwirth is majoring in kinesiology, the study of the mechanics of motion with human anatomy. She plans to finish her bachelor's degree, with an emphasis on pre-health care studies, in the next year. In the next five years, her goal is to complete additional requirements and become a registered nurse.
What rowing and sports in general have taught her is to be more aware of her strength physically and mentally. This has increased her confidence, which she said she hopes will prepare her for real life.
"You have to roll with the punches," she said, quoting her dad, Allan, recognizing that not everything can go your way, but you have to be prepared to accept what life has ahead.
Throughout her rowing career, Gastwirth acknowledged that her biggest motivator and influence has been her parents.
"Knowing that my parents have come to every race, I love doing something that they love to see me do, because it made me happy," she said.
The support helped her build confidence in something she could call her own. With each early morning, most of the year before sunrise, Gastwirth said it gave her an optimistic outlook on life knowing that she has worked hard at what she loves.
Rowing is the ultimate team sport, she said: "There are no timeouts and there are no breaks. If someone screws up, the team has to regain composure."
Teamwork, she argued, shows how to be dedicated with every team member there for one another's success.
"Hilary has been an outstanding representative, not only for the sport of rowing, but more importantly, for our athletics program as a whole at Western," said Paul Madison, sports information director for WWU. "With her work ethic and fun personality, she is going to do wonderful things in her life and chosen profession."
Gastwirth will now focus on her studies. In respect to rowing, the best advice she said she has received is to "do it for myself, look at why I love the sport and work hard, even if things aren't perfect.
"Life is going to throw you stuff all the time that you don't necessarily know how to handle, or don't want to handle, but you have to find the positive in it," she said.

Actually, Matthew, Western is no longer ranked second. That statistic was when they were going into the national regatta last May. They knocked off the #1 ranked school at nationals (proving the rankings wrong) and won their fifth consecutive national championship. Something a rowing team at any level has never done.

When Same-Sex Marriage Was a Christian Rite
Contrary to myth, Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual. Prof. John Boswell, the late Chairman of Yale University's history department, discovered that in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies in ancient Christian church liturgical documents, there were also ceremonies called the "Office of Same-Sex Union" (10th and 11th century), and the "Order for Uniting Two Men" (11th and 12th century).

Nothing wrong with this, it's a decent track. But, it's a shame that this raises heads nowadays. I mean, like I said this is a perfectly fine joint, but a track like this would have been the last song on side 2 of a mixtape back in the day. Like some random shit that's aight, by some dude who doesn't really have a career.

1. Collecting saliva: Actively swab around the cheeks, gums, and under the tongue for 30-60 seconds until the cotton swab is thoroughly saturated.
2. Filling the capillary: Place the Q.E.D.® test on a flat surface. Gently twist the collector into the entry port. Apply gentle steady pressure until the pink fluid passes the QA Spot™ at the end of the device
3. Interpreting test results: Allow two (2) minutes for the Q.E.D.® A150 test to develop. The QA spot must be dark purple to indicate a valid test. If the same color forms a bar within the measurement scale, read the highest point. Ignore bubbles. Diagram of Enzyme Chemistry Used by the Q.E.D.® Test
• Meets 2006 U.S. Coast Guard Maritime Requirements
• Non Invasive, Quantitative Results in 2-4 Minutes
• Interpretation like Reading a Thermometer
• Long Shelf Life of 10-12 Months
• Individually Sealed in Foil Envelope with Cotton Swabs
• Built-in Quality Control and Calibration
• U.S. DOT Approved for Testing and Evidence
• High Correlation (r=.098) to Blood Analysis results
• No Special Equipment or Training Required
The Q.E.D.® Saliva Alcohol Test is an easy to use diagnostic procedure with everything required contained in a sealed foil package. Total time required for the test is between 3 and 5 minutes. The three basic steps are as follows:
1. Using the cotton swab included, actively swab around the cheeks, gums, and tongue for 30-60 seconds or until the cotton swab is completely saturated with saliva.
2. Place the test device on a flat surface. Gently twist the swab with the collected saliva sample into the entry port and apply steady pressure to activate the capillary action until the pink fluid passes the QA Spot™ located at the top of the test device.
3. Read the test results. Allow the test device to develop for two minutes. A distinct purple bar will form within the marked scale region. The highest point of the purple bar represents the level of Alcohol expressed as either a percentage (.0x%) or milligrams (ml/dL) concentration.
Frequently Asked Questions:
How accurate is the QED® test?
The Q.E.D.® test can be used as an accurate screen
in place of blood or breath tests.
In clinical trials, saliva alcohol levels measured by
the Q.E.D.® demonstrated high
correlation to blood analyzed by gas chromatography (r=0.98).
What range of BAC will the Q.E.D.® test measure?
The Q.E.D.® test has a quantitative range of 0 - 145 mg/dL (0.0% - 0.145% BAC).
What is an advantage of using the Q.E.D.® instead of an electronic breath analyzer?
Unlike breath testers, you can make a permanent record of test results for a file by making
a copy of the completed test on a copy machine.
What does a positive reading look like with the QED® test?
When a QED® test result is positive, a dark purple color bar forms within the measurement
scale. This color is distinctly darker than the pink or orange color seen as the sample fills
the device. The color bar on a positive test -- the same color seen in the QA Spot™ --
develops in 2 minutes for the A150 test, in 5 minutes for the A350.
How hard should I press down with the QED® applicator?
Gently apply slow and even pressure when placing the swab in the entry port. Too much
pressure can jam the test. For best results, gently twist the collector into the entry port until
the cotton touches the red filter pad and then begin pressing.
What does the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) waiver mean for work
site testing?
Because work site testing is considered forensic testing, CLIA regulations do not apply.
The waived status for the QED® Saliva Alcohol Test under CLIA '88 makes testing
easier in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and treatment facilities where our test is used
as an in-vitro diagnostic tool.
Does the QED® test measure residual alcohol in the mouth or is it measuring the alcohol
within the entire body (blood stream)?
Beverage alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is absorbed directly
and unchanged into a person's body
and is evenly distributed throughout the blood stream and
other bodily fluids, including saliva.
The QED® test measures the amount of alcohol in bodily
fluids, commonly called blood-alcohol
concentration, or BAC. Residual alcohol in the mouth
just after a person takes a drink is quickly
absorbed, swallowed, or evaporated, and a person's
mouth is "clear" of residuals 10 minutes after
eating or drinking.
Will the QED® test react with ketone often found in the saliva of diabetic patients?
No. Unlike breath analyzers and other saliva tests, the QED® test is specific to ethyl alcohol and
will not cross-react with acetone and ketone produced by diabetic patients.
Will the QED® device work if it is stored at temperatures outside the range on the packaging?
Storing and using QED® tests at room temperature (15-30ºC, 59-86ºF) insures optimal performance
and a full shelf life. However, the QED® test will work fine if exposed to temperatures outside that
range for limited periods. We tested the QED® device under a wide range of temperatures and storage
conditions -- simulating the inside of a vehicle glove box on a hot summer day (about 120ºF) and the
lonely cold of North Dakota in January (about 0ºF). In all cases, the test performed as it should. Before
using a QED® Saliva Alcohol Test exposed to extreme heat, allow the device to cool to room temperature;
if the QED® device is exposed to extreme cold, put it into a pocket to warm it up.
How can companies using the QED® test in very remote areas comply with the DOT's requirement
that confirmation tests on positive screening tests must be conducted within 30 minutes?
The DOT will accept results of confirmation tests conducted more than 30 minutes after a positive screening
test. Look to 49 CFR Part 40 section 40.65, paragraph (b). The DOT added a sentence which directs the
Breath Alcohol Technician (BAT) to simply explain "why?" if a confirmation test is done more than 30
minutes after a screening test. This is not a fatal flaw.
Why should I buy the QED® Saliva Alcohol Test if I need an Evidential Breath Testing (EBT)
to confirm positive test results?
The QED® test is much less expensive to operate than a breath test, unless you conduct a very high
volume of tests in a central location. By and large, each test done on saliva instead of breath saves
money. Plus, performing two independent tests is more legally defensible on the rare occasion an employee
does test positive for alcohol.
