Darkest of the days and
when demons howl and earth does rock.
A multitude of horrendous sights
as sanity loses its protective frock.
Turmoil churning among the clouds.
Ash falling and smoke billowing up.
Chaos holds hostage the horrified crowds
as lava spews from the earthen cup.
Force devouring all it might find
onward, outward,pushes the flow.
Unleashing power it does grind
pulsating, producing that glow.
Then a deadly silence the deed at last is done.
No man, woman, or child is seen.
No one frolicking beneath the morning sun.
The earth is once more clean.
Fair maiden cry for that lost city of old.
Mourn those taken by the fire.
Though the inferno has grown cold
there yet remains the funeral pyre.

Officers who are approved for transfer will incur a three-year active-duty service obligation.
Transfer options are displayed in officer in/out calls issued Feb. 12 by the Human Resources Command.

Calvary's Shun Brown (11) is congratulated after running a 96-yard runback for a touchdown in the second quarter of the Battle on the Border game between Calvary and St. Thomas More September 13, 2013 at Independence Stadium.
Calvary's first-ever trip to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome this week is more than just a chance for the program's first state football title.
The Cavaliers want to make a statement for the whole school.
"The bottom line is we're not going anywhere," said head coach John Bachman about rumors that the school could potentially be closing. "I know the first thing I hear when I get to the Dome is, 'Are y'all closing in January?' I've answered that question 100,000 times and I know if I have, the kids have. ...

Monroe residents will soon have another option for transportation.
Black & White Transportation of Toledo is planning to launch a taxi service within the city in coming weeks.
The taxi company asked Monroe City Council in July if it could establish a taxi cab to provide service within the city. Council members unanimously approved the item.
This will be the second taxi service in the city. Monroe Cab also operates a service.
Judy and Scott Potter own Black & White, which is headquartered in Toledo. The business has been in operation since 1997 and uses a fleet of about 100 cabs, para-transit and corporate cars. In all, the company has about 135 vehicles in operation.
Mrs. Potter, who is also general manager, said one car will be added to Monroe.
"I will have two licensed drivers to pick up 24-7," she said last month.
Mrs. Potter said she was waiting for a tablet to be installed in the vehicle for navigation purposes and once that was completed, Monroe police are to inspect the cab.
Monroe police Chief Tom Moore said the approval of the cab is based on the inspection. If the vehicle is cleared, the company will be able to operate.
"She's motivated to get the taxis here," he said.
Taxis have to be licensed in the cities where service is provided, which is why Mrs. Potter and her company wanted to come to Monroe.
"We've had requests to put a vehicle there," she said. "There is a need."
The Monroe taxi will be a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country, which is modified to accommodate all needs.
"Our vehicles are all wheelchair accessible," Mrs. Potter said.
Once the company has received its final approval, the rides will begin. The cost will be $2.50 for pick-up and $2.25 a mile thereafter. The company will operate year-round and will be available for services 24 hours a day.
If the company is successful, additional vehicles could be added to the Monroe fleet.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the cssrs.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as System restore or Services and Controller app belongs to software UnbeKannt or Microsoft® Windows (version 2000 Operating System) or mains by VolkS or Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) or 360.
Description: Cssrs.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. Cssrs.exe is located in the C:\Windows folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 176,128 bytes (62% of all occurrences), 557,056 bytes, 208,896 bytes or 391,680 bytes.
The cssrs.exe file is not a Windows system file. The program is not visible. Cssrs.exe is an unknown file in the Windows folder. The process is loaded during the Windows boot process (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run, Run, User Shell Folders). The process listens for or sends data on open ports to a LAN or the Internet. Cssrs.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs, hide itself, monitor applications and manipulate other programs. Therefore the technical security rating is 67% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify cssrs.exe related errors
External information from Paul Collins:
Important: Some malware also uses the file name cssrs.exe, for example Trojan:Win32/Provis!rts or Trojan:Win32/Startpage.gen!A (detected by Microsoft), and not-a-virus:Monitor.Win32.KeyLogger.qa or Backdoor.Win32.VBbot.cn (detected by Kaspersky). Therefore, you should check the cssrs.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of cssrs.exe: based on 4 votes with 4 user comments. One user thinks cssrs.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 3 users suspect danger.
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with cssrs. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the cssrs.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

I dig this chick; thin and petite, yet all the right curves. I love her little tits and once you click-thru to the full gallery you will see what a smoking, little ass she has. She evidently enjoys showing it off, too! I like how she's not trying to be sexy; she just is, and showing us what we all really want to see. It's not that duck-face/covering-the-boobs bit at all and I thank her for that.
This is Peter's ex fiance posing nude for some self shots. He says they didn't get much further in their relationship after the proposal. She spent so much time trying to break down the emotional walls he put around himself, and when he finally gave in and began to show her his true feelings she went out and slept with someone else. Ouch! That has go to sting. He felt like a chump and he ended it right away. Besides getting his possessions returned to him, he hasn't spoken to her since. Good riddance, I say! Thanks, Peter!

For the past six weeks, I've been traveling the country, talking to parents of teenagers as part of promoting my new book. I should probably say "adolescents" because adolescence for kids today can start as early as eight or nine and continue on into the early 20s. Don't think you have a few years to figure out strategies if your eldest child is barely in grade school.
Before you know it, that cooperative, sunny spirit will morph into a shaggy-haired lump who fails to pick up its feet, let alone clean its room.
All children, especially teenagers, need parents - not friends, not school ...

Bessie Smith Hall is the site for "The Evening of Elegance," when ladies and gentlemen dressed to the nines can dance the night away to help raise funds for local college students in need of financial assistance.
The event, being hosted by nonprofit organization 100 Black Men of Chattanooga, is Nov. 16 from 8 p.m. until midnight.
The evening's featured entertainers are international recording artist Angela Winbush as well as Nashville's Joe Johnson Band. Winbush, who lives in St. Louis, Mo., has completed work in the past with Janet Jackson. While guests listen to the music, they can fill their plates from a buffet full of food prepared by LeMont's Catering.
"The Evening of Elegance is held to raise funds to support our Life Academy for Young Men in Hamilton County, the Young Men of Distinction in Walker County and also our college financial assistance program which has provided $380,000 in assistance to this date," said 100 Black Men of Chattanooga president Erskine Oglesby in regards to the annual fundraiser. "The programs are designed to help young men achieve academic excellence and build strong individual character in order to compete in a multicultural, global society."
He said the support of donors at the event will help 100 Black Men of Chattanooga fulfill its "Mentor the 100 Way Across a Lifetime" initiative as the group strives to improve the quality of life for local youth and build stronger communities.
"We want to support our college financial assistance program," said Oglesby. "We give financial assistance to students for four years. We do provide scholarships for young men and young ladies. The assistance is given to students that normally might not have the opportunity to go to college."
The fundraiser is kicking off the 100 Black Men of Chattanooga Chapter's 20th anniversary year. Oglesby said he expects to see 250 people in attendance at this year's ninth annual Evening of Elegance, meant as much to be an intimate "friend-raiser" as a fundraiser. The event venue will showcase tables to seat eight along with plenty of dancing room; the attire is semiformal.
The 100 Black Men of Chattanooga Chapter has 33 members including lawyers, doctors, judges, entrepreneurs and more.
"Programmatically, we focus on helping kids achieve academic skills, academic excellence, character development, develop positive social skills and work on community service," said Oglesby. "Students we work with are required to do community service, do college tours and go on cultural field trips. By blending these things together we prepare them for a multicultural society and to make good decisions in life."
He said the idea is to provide the students with opportunities. Group members act as mentors and help students with ACT and SAT preparations and through a robotics program too.
"We focus on four areas of economic development including health and wellness, mentoring and education," said Oglesby. "We develop programs for youth centered around those areas. I just love helping people."

Vividred Operation 07
Sorry for the late review! Been a hectic week with assignments galore. =( Anyway, I hope you enjoy the review and the glorious screenshots courtesy of my upgraded hardware! =D
Akane bumps into every high school heroine's nightmare-lousy grades! Her friends help her out with a study group and drag along Rei, who finally discovers the connection between Akane and the Manifestor Engine. Then, an EMP Alone appears and wrecks havoc on its way to the Engine. Team Vividred manages to knock it out but lets their guard down. The upgraded Alone then seizes this chance to fire an EMP pulse, only to have Akane block it. Unfortunately, the unconscious Akane then plumments to Earth with her fried powered suit.
Right After the Credits:
Wow, now that's how you end an episode! I was unhappy that they whizzed past yet another Alone fight (poor Newspaper-chan…), but I'm glad they gave us the quality fight and that cliffhanger.
What quality, you say? Well, for one, the animation was really smooth. From banter at the Isshhikis to the Alone fight, there were some really beautiful scenes. It could be due to the video quality (only watched 480p till now), but the choreography and direction was definitely top-notch. Just look at Aoi pounding the Alone's head!
Although they used some dreaded CGI for Team Vividred, at least it wasn't as terrible as with the first Alone. Perhaps the darkness hid most of the flaws? XD I heard they hired another studio for the battle scenes though. And about the Alone, that's a really weird and unique design, don't you think? The contrast between its organic "wheel" design and its futuristic weapon is really neat, if you ask me.
As with all "cold" girls, Rei succumbed to the power of friendship. She did have an ulterior motive though: scouting out for links between Isshikis and the Manifestor Engine. Geez, Rei, couldn't you have looked up the inventor of the Manifestor Engine just once!? I know she's kind and wouldn't want to hurt the Isshikis, but if she's this sloppy with investigative work, no wonder the reactor's still standing! Anyway, I enjoyed "Normal" Rei for once, even if it was fleeting. Gawd, DAT SMILE. Damn it, Akane, why did you have to ruin that moment? Bonus points too for a startled Rei at the "fridge" scene. How long is the Prof going to put off getting back his own body?
All said though, that cliffhanger was the penultimate scene in the episode. With her suit fried and the Earth hurtling towards her, what will Akane do? I'm guessing a quick save by either the Vividred girls or Rei; the latter's odds seem tough though (having no superpowers sucks). However, I'm also rather suspicious of the timing of this scene. It could be a red herring, but I predict things will take a serious turn from now on as the Alones get stronger and Rei interferes more. They'll definitely fend off the former with ease, but I'm not so sure with Rei; how will her current relationship with the girls impact their reactions when they find out she's an Alone sympathizer?
All this from a seemingly hopeless fanservice show. Count me in for next week's episode!
The political stuff was boring – or just took up too much time and space. I'm glad Tsunade wasn't so easily killed off – though I'm sad that Kakashi won't be Hokage just yet. It makes me wonder if Tsunade will be sacrificed later so that Kakashi can be Hokage, or if he'll just never get that role.
I like that Naruto is still himself, but clearly more mature. I'm just a little irritated because it does seem so selfish that he isn't elaborating his plan with his friends – why does he have to be the one to kill Sasuke? Why do they both have to die? What's going to happen when they fight next – and will it be the last time?
(I'd totally forgot that Yamato was still guarding the Naruto that isn't there, haha. Poor guy.)
My recent post A look back at the winter season
I'd rather wait till the last episode before setting any deductions in stone. Who knows? They could pull a fast one on us. =)
Well, considering we barely know the motives of the villain except destroying the manifestation engine and getting back her life, I think they are going to be fairly straightforward since the plot IMO is traditional and uses basic devices (like how that I-beam fell from the construction tethers). Plus the show kind of leaves us in the dark with barely any clues, though I think we can confirm the theory confidently. (I can see myself going into a tangence…)
For me, the vagueness of Crow's aims are a sign of a bigger twist to come than a straightforward plot. We know of Rei's intentions to save her old life/world, but Crow's vague stake in this is unsettling.
As for the traditional plot devices, I agree somewhat. There's the "PROVE YOU'RE GOOD AT HEART" scene you mentioned and the girls themselves: the genki leader (Akane), the blue oni* (Aoi) and etc. However, I don't really see the connection between that and Vividred's direction…

And yes, you did seem to be running in circles a bit there. No probs though, we all do that sometimes. XD

UPB Phase Coupler with RS-323 Serial Interface for Improved Reliability and Advanced Control
- 4 LED indicators
- Repeats UPB signals over 3 Phases
- RS-232 Computer Interface Module
- Improves UPB communication
- PC Configurable
Simply Automated's UTR 3-Phase Repeater was designed to improve communication in a UPB home lighting system comprised of Transceiver Switches/Dimmers, Receiver Plug-In Modules, and more. This device not only repeats the UPB messages it also bridges your electrical phases allowing the UPB signal to travel along all three separate 120V legs of powerline. The UTR receives the UPB messages sent from a device on one electrical phase and repeats that message over all three electrical phases. This 3-Phase repeater also features a RS-232 serial port. This is used to receive and transmit UPB signals from a host computer or home automation controller. 4 LED indicators are housed in the device to offer a visual display for repeating over each phase and operation of the UTR.

Is the interval between images too long? if you decrease the sleep interval you might need more images too. Maybe you can edit your images with photoshop or gimp and add some motion blur effects to make it look like its spinning?
I see you have taken care of the double buffering.
Why does it look horrible in your oppinion?

Mainly because im a perfectionist, at the moment the graphics jump 50 pixels per paint rather than smoothly rolling from there starting postion to their ending.. And i cant seem to make this work as it should.

I agree, 50 pixels are quite a jump comparing it to the desired "smoothly rolling". I definitely suggest adding more images to fill in the gap.

why more images? I know that the images need to be moved say 1 pixel at a time downwards, but i have no idea how to do this smoothly .

LITTLE POST OAK CREEK. Little Post Oak Creek rises at the junction of the East and West forks of Little Post Oak Creek (at 33°40' N, 98°25' W) eleven miles northeast of Archer City in eastern Archer County. The creek, which is intermittent in its upper reaches, runs north for two miles to its mouth on the Little Wichita River (at 33°41' N, 98°24' W), 2½ miles east of Scotland. The local terrain is gently rolling and is surfaced by sandy loams that support post oak and grasses. The area has been used as rangeland.

WASHINGTON, Pa.—The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal by the commissioners of a southwestern county, who hoped to prevent a property reassessment.
Tuesday's 27-word decision to refuse to hear the appeal means Washington County must now determine new values of all properties for tax purposes, a process they claim will cost taxpayers about $8 million—and possibly more for those whose property values increase.
The Washington and McGuffey school districts sued the county southwest of Pittsburgh in 2008, seeking to force a reassessment because it was last done in 1981.
The commissioners signed a consent degree in 2009, which the school districts contend included an agreement to do the reassessment before the commissioners, instead, appealed.
A county judge has scheduled a June 4 status conference on the matter.

I have been attending college for the past year studying programming languages and have decided to take time off for awhile and get ready to take the Sun certification
. I love
, but I don't have any real world programming experience.
Could someone give me some advice about how likely it is that I will be able to find a job without experience, please.
I want to get a job before going back to college. I really appreciate your help.

The fact that you are taking a break after your first year at college bothers me. Why are you taking a break?
Under no circumstances should you postpone college just to take the SCJP2 exam. If all you have is partial college and the SCJP2 and no experience - you will not get the greater than $8/hour IT job. More than likely, no job at all. I am 100% certain on that fact.
Your #1 priority is to get that bloody CD Degree.
Your #2 priority is to grab an internship - doing ANYTHING in the IT industry. Even if you are an intern with IBM - pouring coffee 90% of the time - you will get some experience. And 3 months with IBM is three months with IBM.
Regarding internship pay - it varies widely. Who cares, as long as it will pay the rent and some food.
Exposing the myth. The IT industry is not a job - it's a career. And for most (there are exceptions) of us, we have had to climb up the ladder. There is no "magical solution". It's a lot of hard - bust your butt off work. Sorry, but that is reality in this game.
So what should you do?
If you are taking a break from college - that is fine. But use the time in an internship or some IT company role. It won't be as a Java developer. More than likely you will be proofing code - or testing - or doing production support. Expecially, since you mentioned you are just getting started in school.
There are low paying IT jobs out there doing production support and meaningless tasks (tape backups / batch cycle operator). This is where you are going to have to start. They only pay about $8-$10 to start. And
of them are the graveyard shift.
Even working as a lab monitor in college will help.
Talk to the career services people. Visit with them every day.
The CS major is difficult enough - you don't want to work 40+ hour week in the IT industry at $8-$10 per hour. And then go to class and then hit the books for 3 or 4 hours.
If you think classes are hard and time consuming now - just wait until you hit the junior and senior years. See those guys in the library at 2AM. Well that's you during your last 2 years. Reason for the 70-80% dropout rate.
Not only do you have exams - but you have projects. And if it isn't the CS-classes - it's the myriad of physics/math/economics/english classes that will keep you tied up.
Going back to your original question:
"Could someone give me some advice about how likely it is that I will be able to find a job without experience."
It won't happen. No degree / No certification = No real full time job. No degree / Yes certification = Perhaps something - but it will be a total bear to find. Who knows what this market is doing. On one hand we hear good news from CNN about college hiring this year. On the other hand, unemployment is the highest since 89 or 91.
So what should you do?
Grap an internship this summer. See if you can CO-OP this fall with the same company. Not all schools will do this. But some let you work 6 months at a company - and earn credits for doing this. Usually the company pays you like $500/week and the 6 credit tuition bill.
Now you have grabbed experience / $$$ / and college credits all in one shot.
Sorry about all the negative news. But I have found the IT industry to be a total pain in the butt to get started in. But, I have stuck it out and have had a lot of fun the past 5 years. Even got an MS-Computer Science degree paid for. Took 3 separate companies (EDS / Lehigh Univ / Osh Kosh Little Brats Clothing) to do it - but hey - that's the game.
Been laid off 3 times (EDS / Lucent / AMS) in the past 5 years.
Looking at another 1800 mile relocation back to PA in the next few weeks. See how 3rd round of interviews go.
Wow!!! That's a lot of typing.
Gotta run,

Sound advice John. I have yet to hear of anyone hired based soley on a an industry certification on the programming-side - not by my company, not by any of the companies that we contract to. A very small sample in the sea of situations, but a representative one. At very minimum, shoot for a 2-year degree and some volunteer work on a coding project of some size.
Passing as many Java certifications along the way will certainly point out a specialty, however. And, I think that successful Java study will complement your learning in other computer science classes.
Good luck!

Now that I read this thread, I think that I am in a worse situation than Cindy
. I have just passed the
exam, and was sailing on cloud 9, but reading this thread has brought me back to the ground with a THUD
(Especially John Coxey....hard news but true
Now here's the difference. I am in India, and the slowdown in the US has affected us as well. No one does job-hopping like before.....but that don't bother me...I know I am here to stay. Fancy words...I know...but I am sure I mean them.
I have also planned to change fields....(its just that, its all happened at the wrong time). Believe it or not, I have a diploma in Hotel Management and a few computer-courses certificates up my sleeve....and I donot see a very bright horizon. Six months of sales experience in the travel industry. The computer certificates I have, include one in C programming, one in Unix OS and one in Oracle. Now here comes the HARDEST part, I have NO real-world programming experience
I want to stay in this field, donot plan to shift any more. Could someone suggest what do I do? I knew that getting a job won't be easy so have decided to take up a small job as a retail- exec with a finance comapany and do some projects on my own....thinking that this would increase my worth in the eyes of future employers.
Does someone have any other suggestions.....I welcome them all.

I'm not sure how applicable this will be, but let me tell you how I got into the IT field and maybe it will spark some ideas.
With no IT training or computer experience beyond normal office stuff, I got a job at a large software company just answering the phone and routing support calls to the appropriate departments. During this period, I found out where the greatest need was for Application Support.
I became friendly with the manager of that Application team, and when one of the team members was going to be out for surgery, I volunteered to "fill in" on the phones temporarily. A couple of months later I had learned the applications, knew the clients, and learned quite a bit about the DataBase to boot! When the other team member returned, they asked me to stay on the team permanently, which I of course accepted.
Over the next few months, I became very interested in programming and learning the technical side. I had been doing queries, analyzing files, comparing program code releases to find mismatches, all sorts of stuff just no actual coding. As a result, when I expressed interest in becoming a programmer the company trained me in-house! After the training, they even paid for my MS degree in CIS.
Basically my career in IT was a happy accident. The point I'm trying to make though is that if you are interested, you should take any job you can get in an IT company and work your way up the ladder. If you show interest and competence, most companies will respond well.
Best of Luck
I'm a soldier in the NetScape Wars...
Wait a minute, I'm trying to think of something clever to say...

Humuhumu's description:
The King Kamehameha Tiki House was built in 1964 by William Parkhurst, on his own private land. It is owned today by his grandson, Rob Parkhurst. It has been used as a rental facility for many decades, and is still available for rental today.
The building sits upon a man-made island in a man-made lake, with an arched bridge from the land to the island. The structure has four peaked roofs arranged in a sort of plus-sign shape. The space is decorated with many items acquired during trips to Hawaii, and King Kamehameha imagery is found all around the building and grounds in the form of metal cutouts.
May 4, 2011, 8:55 AM
The House was beautiful, however we rented it for our wedding and reception and the area wasn't quite ready. Things really needed cleaning, out buildings were dilapitated and service/proprieter was difficult to work with and there were a lot of underlying costs when we received final bill. Overall it was not worth the price we paid!

BP oil spill panel: Obama Administration part of cover up
A panel created by the Obama Administration to investigate the BP Gulf oil spill has turned up information that is making the White House look bad. The BP cover up and media blackout that plagued every stage of the Deepwater Horizon disaster is slowly beginning to be stripped away. Behind the black curtain of silence was public deception and deliberate acts to block critical information.
"When some government scientists sought to publicize their long-term worst case figures they were blocked by the White House Office of management and budget," according to the panels' report.
Then in August when the oil leak was capped, the government misrepresented figures to downplay the aftermath of the oil spill by claiming that almost all the oil had 'disappeared.'
In reality, most of the oil BP spilled is still in the Gulf of Mexico. And while it is no longer floating on the surface, there is a layer of partially decomposed oil smothering the microscopic base of the food chain on the sea floor. This sunken, chemical-laden toxic blanket will continue to kill the ecosystem for decades, according to scientists.
The Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20, 2010 after a gas bubble violently escaped from the Macondo oil well. The disaster killed eleven crew members, thousands of birds, dolphins, endangered sea turtles and destroyed the livelihoods of fishermen in Louisiana and throughout Gulf waters. The runaway well was finally sealed with a bottom kill procedure on September 15, 2010.

Fox's Terry Bradshaw: 'Same old weak junk' from Cowboys' Bill Callahan
Not sure what this means, but the panel of experts in the ESPN studio was unanimous (6-0) in picking the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Cowboys, while the four football men in the Fox studio all went with the Cowboys.
Maybe that's why Fox's Terry Bradshaw was so critical of the Cowboys after the game. Bradshaw will never be mistaken for a Cowboys fan, but he sure sounded like one on TV.
"I'm extremely disappointed in what I saw in Dallas," he said after the Cowboys dropped a 17-16 decision to the Chiefs. "I have a feeling we are going to see the up and down of the Cowboys. That's just the way it's going to be."
Earlier, Bradshaw unloaded on Cowboys offensive coordinator Bill Callahan, who has assumed play-calling responsibility from head coach Jason Garrett. Keep in mind you rarely hear NFL TV voices slice and dice head coaches, let alone question coordinators.
"Same old weak junk we saw in Oakland," Bradshaw said, referring to Callahan's days with the Raiders. "It drives me up a wall, five-yard out routes, five-yard drag routes. You have to take chances. You can't keep running this short dinky offense."
Ryan critical of Romo: Most pleasant surprise of the game was the work of analyst Tim Ryan, who is not high on the Fox depth chart. Maybe that's a good thing. He has no personal agenda and probably won't see the Cowboys again this season. He wasn't concerned about hurt feelings.
Ryan, who played four years as a defensive end with the Chicago Bears in the early 1990s, laid into Tony Romo's poor passing in the fourth quarter after he said the Cowboys quarterback held the ball too long on his fumble early in the quarter.
He said Romo's "internal clock" should have told him to "unload" the football.
He also questioned a decision to throw a screen to rookie Terrance Williams in a crowd rather than playmaker Dez Bryant, who appeared to have solo coverage. If that was Callahan's call, Ryan said, it was incumbent upon Romo to change it.
Before kickoff, Chris Myers reported that Romo told him he would take pregame painkillers for his aching ribs. Ryan might have mentioned the ribs when pointing out the lousy passing.
On Cowboys radio, Babe Laufenberg detected a flaw in Romo's throwing motion that could have been ribs-related.
Need another angle: Downside of having Ryan and Myers work the game is that their production team comes with at least three fewer cameras than, say, the Joe Buck-Troy Aikman or Kenny Albert-Daryl Johnston crew.
We could have used a definitive replay of the pivotal Morris Claiborne pass interference call that allowed the Chiefs to burn clock in the final minutes of the game. Although Fox officiating guru Mike Pereira tweeted, "that looked like PI to me in KC. Hooked him around the neck."
Urging to involve Bryant: On NFL Network, Kurt Warner, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback, took issue with the Cowboys play-calling that ignored Dez Bryant last week against the New York Giants.
"If I have my best player, I'm not going to let another team take him out of the game so I can throw to somebody else. I'm going to find a way to get my best player involved so they can't take him away. I didn't see that. I saw the same formations, same lack of creativity."
Interactive: Tweet of the day comes from @michrod : "Trust us youngens, when we say the Cowboys were good at some point in our lifetime & won championships! …"

Because the Bruins probably will re-sign Kessel, they'll have to remove a well-paid player to make room for him under the salary cap. That could leave the second line unsettled.
In all likelihood, the Bruins' only set line at this point could be the third line of center Patrice Bergeron, left wing Mark Recchi and right wing Chuck Kobasew. It's a line that played very well for the Bruins last spring in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, despite Recchi being bothered by kidney stones.
The Bruins acquired Recchi, 41, along with a 2010 second-round draft pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning last March in exchange for two exciting prospects, defenseman Matt Lashoff and right wing Martins Karsums. It was a steep price to pay, but Recchi rewarded the Bruins with 10 goals and 16 points in 18 games and then gave them 3 goals and 6 points in 11 playoff games.
Perhaps the biggest contribution Recchi made last season was helping Bergeron rediscover his skills. Bergeron, who suffered a serious head injury in 2007 and another lesser concussion in December 2008, looked like his old self when teamed with Recchi.
If Bergeron returns to the form that saw him score 70 points in two straight seasons from 2005-07, it would have an effect similar to signing one of the top available free agents this summer. Recchi thinks it can happen.
"You can see Bergeron is regaining his confidence," Recchi said. "When you go through what he's been through the past 1 1/2 or two years, it's not easy. But I think he's back to being the player everybody has seen in the past. He's holding onto the puck and playing with strength. He's a great two-way player.
"It's fun to see him getting back to health and it's fun to play with him. I'm just trying to support Chuck and Patrice by going to the areas that they need me to go."
"He's not a fourth-liner," Chiarelli said. "He didn't play there last year for us and I don't anticipate he will this year. He's going to play on one of the top three lines, whether on the right side or the left is to be determined."
"I see my role as exactly what I was playing last year," Recchi said. "Me, Bergie and Chuckie had some great success together, whether we had to check or do some other things. I would probably take the same position on the power play, get in front of the net and create some traffic there and do some things. ... That's all determined at training camp by what the coach thinks. You have to earn your ice time; you can't just have it handed to you. For 20 years, I've looked at it that way."
And in those 20 years, Recchi has two Stanley Cups, seven NHL All-Star Game selections, a third-place finish in voting for the 2000 Hart Trophy and two top-five Art Ross Trophy finishes.
With Joe Sakic retiring, Recchi's 897 assists and 1,428 points are the most among active players, and with Brendan Shanahan still looking for work, his 537 goals is second among current NHL players.
Recchi thinks the Bruins can make a strong run at the 2010 Stanley Cup, and that's why he decided to play one more season.
"It's been a great run," Recchi said. "I want to give it one more chance and then I can sail off into the sunset."

Bank buys R&B star R. Kelly's Chicago-area home
CHICAGO (AP) -- R&B star R. Kelly's Chicago-area mansion has been sold for $950,000 in a foreclosure auction.
RELATED: Celeb flashers
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Kelly's Olympia Fields home was sold Monday to J.P. Morgan Chase, which already held the mortgage. Chase set the opening bid at $950,000, then submitted the only offer.
The property once was valued at more than $5 million. Last year, Chase stated in court files that Kelly still owed about $3 million on the 11,140-square-foot home. Once a judge approves the deal, the bank can put it on the market.
Kelly's business manager didn't return a call from the newspaper. His one-time spokesman, Allan Mayer, says he can't comment on the auction, but the Grammy winner isn't having financial problems.
Kelly was acquitted of child pornography charges in 2008.

Make truck stop move to Exit 2
Another truck turnover on the seriously defective Bloomington roundabout. That makes four trucks, that I know of, in recent history that have not made it around without turning over while negotiating the two infamous accident-waiting-to-happen circles. Not only truck drivers, but drivers of private vehicles are also involved in accidents due to the people who do not understand how to negotiate a roundabout or obey signs like "yield," "20 mph limit" or "one way." I was nearly hit by a truck and trailer trying to get to Vegas by cutting across to the Vegas exit without going around the western circle.
We unfortunate residents tried numerous times in vain to tell the city authorities that a roundabout plus a major truck stop made for serious accidents, but they did not listen. They happily provided the truck stop owners with lenient regulations about how to use the roundabout and nearby streets.
Cure: Require that the truck stop operators move their whole operation to the new Interstate 15, exit 2 where there is loads of open space, and streets are already in place. Lots of parking there, and they would no longer cause accidents and endanger us all.

Too many questions, no truthful answers
President Obama's administration has surpassed the reasonable doubt standard when it comes to lying. Examples: Benghazi and the IRS scandals.
Question: How come we know exactly where President Obama was when Osama bin Laden was killed but we know nothing about where he was during the riot at Benghazi? What we do know is that one phone call was made to Hillary Clinton. Why? To support the American fighters or construct a lie about a video?
Another question: Why did the IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman visit the White House more than 150 times leading up to the 2012 elections? No other official, including military officials, come close to this many visits to the White House. I believe it was to suppress votes for Mitt Romney by using the IRS to target conservative donors. And it worked.
Last question: Can democracy survive any administration that consistently lies and therefore loses its credibility with the populace? No! Only the uninformed believe President Obama at this point. For the informed the Chicago way is now beyond a reasonable doubt and is dangerous to democracy as we once knew it.

Diner fare takes a modern turn on Capitol Hill at this stylishly retro, brick-and-mortar version of one of the city's preeminent food trucks. Skillet's hot, strong coffee is made with beans from the local Fonté micro-roastery, while their burgers are ridiculously savory, topped with signature "bacon jam" and blue cheese (max out the decadence with a side of cheesy poutine). A kale Caesar salad and a fried chicken "sammy" sporting a fennel seed crust are other signs you're not in the '50s anymore. Sit on counter stools or in comfy avocado-green booths, but allow plenty of time—while service is cheerful and prompt, lunch-hour and weekend breakfast waits are lengthy. A second location in Ballard usually isn't quite as slammed.

My range is still kind of limited; I'm winded after half a mile. So, when I recently visited one of my favorite walking destinations - Garden of Memories cemetery in Salinas - I parked the truck close to the entrance of the place and went to pay my respects to the Nesbitts, whose family plot is nearby.
Sheriff William J. Nesbitt, his wife Frances and daughter Mildred rest for eternity just a few feet from my parking spot. I've written about them before, so a follow-up visit seemed appropriate. Plus, it fulfilled doctor's orders ...

ATLANTA (AP) - The nation will honor civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. today - the same day as it celebrates the inauguration of the first black president to his second term.
A quirk in the calendar pushed President Barack Obama's public swearing-in in Washington onto the national holiday honoring the slain civil rights leader.
Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the King Center will hosts its annual commemorative service featuring the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, who's president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. The speech will mark the first time a Latino leader has served as the keynote speaker for the commemorative service on the King holiday.

18 hours later (handful of win7/64 bit updates later) I start the trainer and three seconds after it opens, it closes and leaves only the small adv window from the left hand corner of the process open. Open task manager and in spite of having a task bar icon saying its active, there is no listing for the trainer being active.
The only thing different is a windows update that I believe included malware tools.
Anybody else seeing this kind of issue?
Is the trainer not working at all, or does it work, but just not show.

Nick Cruice scored the tiebreaking goal with 6:13 left in the second period to give Union a 2-1 lead over RPI after 40 minutes of play in their ECAC Hockey game Friday at Messa Rink.
Dutchmen defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere forced a turnover in the RPI left circle. The puck got to Cruice in the slot, and he buried a wrist shot past goalie Scott Diebold.
Earlier in the period, Diebold stopped four straight shots, three by Gostisbehere.
RPI took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a Brock Higgs shorthanded goal. Daniel Ciampini tied it on the power play later in the period.
Union has a 24-10 shot advantage.

Gurudev, the Shaiva Sidhhanta (an ancient school of spirituality and scriptures that elaborate on achieving liberation through practices dedicated to Lord Shiva) says that by increasing the virility (maintaining abstinence) can lead to self-realization. We thought that being peaceful leads us to the divine. Can we attain divinity with passion too?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
One needs both passion and awareness, and one also needs stability and peace. Life is multi-faceted, it has both dynamism and stillness. All these are needed.
