Barley "Risotto" with Asparagus & Shiitakes
From EatingWell:
The nutty flavor and toothsome texture of barley make it a ideal complement for Parmesan cheese in this risotto-style dish. Be sure to use the convenient quick-cooking barley, which is available in most supermarkets, rather than regular barley, which takes much longer to cook.

- 12 ounces asparagus
- 2 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth, or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch scallions, (white and light green parts), chopped (3/4 cup)
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced
- 1 cup quick-cooking barley
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
- Snap off ends of asparagus stalks. Peel asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler; cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths. Steam until just tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
- Bring broth to a simmer in a saucepan or in the microwave; keep warm. Heat oil in a heavy, wide pan over medium heat. Add scallions and shiitakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add barley and stir for 1 minute. Add wine and stir until evaporated, about 1 minute.
- Add about 1/2 cup of the hot broth and cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Continue cooking, adding enough broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stirring frequently, until the barley is just tender and the mixture has a slightly saucy consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese and the reserved asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Lightroom 5 camera profile vs. in camera jpeg
Aug 14, 2014
How close are the profiles in the Lightroom Camera Calibration to the in camera film simulation? I have compared a few snapshots and they look very similar and close enough. I have not had a chance to compare all in camera film simulation and the respective Lightroom profiles. My question is whether I can just shoot RAW and rely on Lightroom to reproduce the Fuji JPEG look. I like the Fuji JPEG but like to have the flexibility to apply different profiles in Lightroom in post-processing. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Capitals push back in OT thriller
Caps-Bruins highlights 3/5
It is one thing to say all the right things when your team is down by three goals after one period.
It is quite another to actually execute those things.
Trailing the Boston Bruins 3-0 after 20 minutes, the Capitals talked about chipping away at the deficit one goal at a time and they did just that, getting consecutive goals from Mike Ribeiro, Tomas Kundratek, Wojtek Wolski and Eric Fehr to emerge with an amazing 4-3 overtime victory at a rocking VerizonCenter.
"We didn't give up at all today," Fehr said after his goal and two assists gave him his second three-point game of his career.
"I think it says a lot about our character. This team believes in ourselves a lot more than we did at the beginning of the season."
The Caps have now won seven of their last 10 games after starting the season 2-8-1. The win pushed them to within five points of the eighth-place Rangers in the Eastern Conference standings.
"It's huge," said Wolski, who scored his first goal in 12 games to send the game into overtime. "We need every single game right now. We've got to keep closing the gap. We can't wait any longer."
Oates said he tried to convince his players that even though they were down 3-0 they were not "leaking oil," like they were in Philadelphia a week ago in one of their worst losses of the season.
"I told them that if we're going to back in this it's going to take 40 minutes," Oates said.
Actually, it took 40 minutes, 37 seconds.
The Capitals' comeback started 5:46 into the second period when Ribeiro rooted himself on the left side of Tuukka Rask. Alex Ovechkin batted down a shot by rookie defenseman Steve Oleksy and found Ribeiro for his eighth goal of the season. It was also Oleksy's first NHL point in his first NHL game.
The Caps drew within 3-2 at the 11:32 mark, this time on Kundraek's first career NHL goal. Nicklas Backstrom won a faceoff back to Fehr, who set up Kundratek's shot from the top of the right circle that eluded Rask. Kundratek responded with his Czech version of an Irish jig.
"I definitely celebrated like it was a winning goal in the playoffs," Kundratek said. "It was my first one and I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
Wolksi, who was in the Washington lineup only because Troy Brouwer fell ill before the game, sent the game into overtime when he slipped behind a Boston defenseman, took a lead pass from Fehr and whacked a backhander through Rask for his first goal since Feb. 1.
That set the stage for Fehr's game-winner, an incredible highlight reel goal in which he split defensemen Dennis Seidenberg and Dougie Hamilton and, on his way to the ice, somehow lifted a shot over Rask.
Fehr, who said his goal was his prettiest since his junior hockey days, was mobbed by his teammates after the goal, which completed his first three-point game since March 3, 2008 when he picked up three assists in a 10-2 Capitals win over the Bruins.

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
The best way to experience Cedarville is to visit campus. Be our guest!
October 14, 2011
Diversity is a word that we hear often here at Cedarville University. The university is striving to become more and more diverse in the way our campus looks, and in our thinking and awareness of cultures. There are people on this campus such as Dr. Carl Ruby and Jon Purple, who encourage the student body to see the campus in a way that reflects the kingdom of God.
It is so encouraging to see this effort from the student body and staff. They to strive to create a great atmosphere for students of different cultures to come to Cedarville University and be an intricate part of what God is doing here on campus. There are so many events that take place to encourage diversity on campus. I have a friend named Shaun Frazier, a senior Psychology major, who is really involved at Cedarville. He serves on the student government as the student relations director. His job is to keep the university aware and sensitive to the different cultures here at Cedarville. Recently they put on an event called Cultural Celebration Party and it truly was amazing. They encouraged people to make food from different cultures and share it. Along with food, there was live music, from jazz, to Latin, to line dancing! It was incredible! The event emphasized that we are all a part of the body of Christ, and even though we may look different we all are one in Christ. Check out this video made by the student relations team, and produced by Samuel Cowden.

THERE IS GREAT NEWS for Apple in that it had briefly sewn up the computer market on one continent.
According to Stat Counter Apple's OSX was the operating system of choice for 98 per cent of the population of Antarctica in the middle of this year.
Windows users might laugh, but it is clear that those penguins are not all Linux users as many had thought. We also notice that the use of OSX dropped in the later part of the year. We guess the Apple fanboys on the continenent must have all gone home.
An INQUIRER photographer snapped this picture that shows the stark individuality of Apple users in the Antarctic thinking different. µ

Video: Hawaii's rainbow throwback uniforms
As you can see in the video above, Hawaii will be sporting some rainbow throwbacks this weekend against San Diego State (on CBS Sports Network, 10:30 p.m. ET). Also, as you can see in the video, while they're nice, there's also a reason Hawaii stopped wearing the uniforms.
Still, should Hawaii manage to get their first win of the season while wearing them -- and subsequently get knocked out of The Best Worst Ten -- then odds are they should probably wear them for the rest of the season.
Because winning looks good no matter what you're wearing.

Article: Differential expression of central metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) subtypes in a clinical model of post-surgical pain[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Tissue damage during surgery can induce 'central sensitization' and the development of pain and hyperalgesia post-operatively. Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) contribute to nociception, inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. This study characterized the temporal expression of group I (mGluR(1), mGluR(5)) and II (mGluR(2), mGluR(3)) mGluRs in spinal cord following abdominal surgery. Lumbar spinal cord was recovered from adult sheep euthanased 5 h, 1, 2, 3 and 6 days after undergoing a midline laparotomy, and processed for mGluR mRNA (real-time PCR, in situ hybridization) and protein (Western blotting). mGluR(5) mRNA was up-regulated 5 h and 1 day post-surgery in laminae I-II of the spinal cord dorsal horn. mGluR(5) protein was increased 1 day post-surgery. A delayed induction of mGluR(2) and mGluR(3) mRNAs and mGluR(2/3) protein occurred in spinal cord 3 days after surgery. By 6 days, mGluR(2) mRNA levels had returned to normal, however, mGluR(3) mRNA and mGluR(2/3) protein remained elevated. No change was detected in mGluR(1). These results demonstrate that mGluRs are differentially regulated following surgery and support a link between mGluR-mediated activity and post-surgical pain.
Article: Up-regulation of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes 3 and 5 in spinal cord in a clinical model of persistent inflammation and hyperalgesia[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Evidence from experimental pain research has revealed that metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) play a pivotal role in nociceptive processing, inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. The aim of this study was to characterise expression of group I and II mGluRs in spinal cord in a model of naturally occurring persistent inflammation (sheep with unilateral lameness due to inflammation of the digital tissues of the feet, estimated to have been affected by the condition for >2 weeks) and an experimental model of acute inflammation (injection of intradermal carrageenan into lower forelimb in sheep). Animals with unilateral clinical inflammation displayed significant mechanical hyperalgesia on the affected limb. Carrageenan treatment produced significant bilateral limb mechanical hyperalgesia 3 h post-injection. Up-regulation of mGluR(3) and mGluR(5) mRNA was observed in ipsilateral spinal cord recovered from clinically lame animals, restricted to laminae II-V and I-II, respectively. Western blot analyses of protein extracts revealed a bilateral increase in mGluR(2/3) and mGluR(5). No change was detected in spinal cord mGluR(1) or mGluR(2) mRNA. There was no change in mGluR(1,2,3,5) subtype mRNA or proteins in spinal cord recovered from animals 3 h post-carrageenan. These results demonstrate for the first time that mGluR subtypes are differentially expressed in spinal cord dorsal horn in response to persistent inflammation, and suggest that mGluR activity may be involved in mediating altered behaviours associated with clinical inflammatory pain.
Article: Transient Up-regulation of Spinal Cyclooxygenase-2 and Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase following Surgical Inflammation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Surgery induces pain and hyperalgesia postoperatively. The products of cyclooxygenases and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been implicated in the development of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia experimentally, and the use of drugs clinically that modify cyclooxygenase activity has been advocated in the management of perioperative pain. However, regulation of these enzymes following surgery has not been studied. Adult female sheep (n = 12) undergoing a midline laparotomy for collection of ova were used in this study. Lumbar and cervical spinal cord tissue was collected from animals euthanized 1 day and 6 or 7 days after surgery and processed for cyclooxygenase (cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2), neuronal NOS mRNA expression using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and hybridization. Tissues were also processed for NADPH-diaphorase staining and cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 protein expression by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. No alteration in cyclooxygenase-1 or cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA or protein concentrations were detected in spinal cord by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively, at 1 day or 6 or 7 days after surgery. However, using techniques that localize mRNA and protein expression ( hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively), increases in cyclooxygenase-2 were identified in lamina V dorsal horn neurons in lumbar spinal cord 1 day after surgery. A significant increase in neuronal NOS mRNA was observed in lumbar spinal cord 1 day after surgery, localized to laminae I-II and lamina V neurons, which returned to baseline concentrations by 6 to 7 days. NADPH-diaphorase staining was significantly increased in laminae I-II in lumbar spinal cord 1 day after surgery but not after 6 to 7 days. Spinal cyclooxygenase and neuronal NOS pathways are differentially altered following surgical inflammation. The early and transient nature of these changes suggests that these enzymes are implicated in postoperative pain and hypersensitivity.

See Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner like you've never seen them before.
Warner Bros. Animation has released two new Looney Tunes Theatrical Shorts available only on the Looney Tunes Shorts YouTube channel.
Looney Tunes favorites Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner meet again in a new-and-improved chase for survival in these three-minute 3D animated videos that have never before been widely released to the public.
In "Rabid Rider," Wile E. Coyote keeps his usual antics up with the intent to use an ACME Hyper Sonic Transport to catch Road Runner, but the transport has inherent problems of its own.
Watch "Fur of Flying" to see Wile E. use a makeshift copter-helmet to catch Road Runner while avoiding heat-seeking missiles.

Amid allegations of state exam cheating at multiple Philadelphia School District schools, the School Reform Commission on Tuesday appointed a former Temple University president as its "testing integrity advisor." David Adamany will work without pay to "review and monitor the district's current and proposed practicees and procedures for testing security and the administration of the PSSA exam."
The news comes two days after The Inquirer reported about more cheating allegations at Cayuga Elementary. Teachers from Roosevelt Middle School - have also told The Inquirer about what they say is widespread cheating over the past several years.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education and the state Inspector General's office are currently investigating possible PSSA cheating in dozens of schools statewide in the 2009, 2010 and 2011 exams. Sources said that more than 50 Philadelphia schools are being looked at, as well a handful of charters around the region, and schools elsewhere in the state.
The district Tuesday said that 11 district schools and two charter schools are currently under investigation by the state education department and inspector general's office. The district is not leading these investigations, but is providing "logistical and other support" to the state.

Bothal Castle
Coordinates: 55°10′23″N 1°37′30″W / 55.173°N 1.625°W
|Bothal Castle
Bothal Castle shown within Northumberland
|OS grid reference
Bothal Castle is a castle and stately home in the village of the same name near the River Wansbeck, between Morpeth and Ashington in the English county of Northumberland. Botl is Old English for a dwelling. Bothal could refer to a particular dwelling or hall.[1] It was fortified before the Norman conquest, and renovated and remodelled a number of times. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade I listed building.
In 1095, Bothal was given by king William Rufus to Guy I de Balliol, whose daughter Alice married William Bertram, Baron of Mitford, who probably built a hall house. Several generations later, in 1343, Sir Robert Bertram was given permission to turn his manor house into a castle, including an impressive gatehouse. The gate tower and fragments of curtain wall are medieval, a good deal of which still survive to this day. Through the marriage of Bertram's daughter Hellen to Sir Robert Ogle (d. c.1363),[2] the estate passed to the Ogle family in the 14th century.
In August 1583 Cuthbert Ogle, 7th Baron Ogle, negotiated a marriage between his daughter Jane and Edward Talbot, a son of George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury's agents visited Bothal, and described the house as 'a castle battled, and not unlike to Nether Haddon where Master John Manners doth dwell.'[3]
In 1591 the estate passed to the Cavendish-Bentinck family (Dukes of Portland), through the marriage of Catherine, Countess of Ogle to Sir Charles Cavendish of Welbeck. Restoration was carried out in the 19th century.[1] The building is used as a private residence of the Cavendish-Bentinck family and also houses the Welbeck Estate Office. The castle is in an excellent state of repair and is not accessible for the public.

Byron Wien's Atrocious "Forecasting" May Have Cost Blackstone Hundreds Of Millions
The one man in finance, who after Buffett and Munger is way overdue for retirement, Blackstone's Byron Wien who at 77 is only made relevant once a year with his atrocious following year forecast, which due to its ongoing track record of being right approximately on zero out of ten predictions, provides Wall Street with an annual bout of uncontrollable laughter. So far this has been an innocuous exercise in worthlessness, but not any more. According to Bloomberg, Wien's latest forecast may have so infuriated the New York pension system that they may no longer invest money with Blackstone. "The New York City Comptroller's office backed out of a scheduled meeting with Blackstone Group LP and trustees for the city pension funds who want the firm to repudiate chief strategist Byron Wien's statement that public- employee retirement benefits are too high." The reason: "Last January, Wien, 77, said in his annual forecast that taxpayers 'literally can't afford the benefits we have given our retirees in state and local governments and we have to change that.'" The result: New York State pension administrators are not amused.
Even in today's "Bernanke numbers" times, the amount at stake is certainly not trivial: "The city's pensions committed $225 million to Blackstone's
latest private-equity fund last year. Three of the funds -- for
police officers, firefighters and civilian employees -- are in
the process of picking managers to oversee a new hedge-fund
investment program." It is only fitting that the world's worst forecaster may also cost his company hundreds of millions with his ramblings.
Representatives of the funds, which are weighing new investments with the New York-based firm, had planned to sit down with Blackstone President Tony James on Jan. 7, according to two people with the direct knowledge of the matter. They were set to ask Blackstone to support public pension benefits in an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions were private.
Lawrence Schloss, the city's chief investment officer, canceled the meeting after the comptroller's office was asked for comment today by Bloomberg News, one of the people said. Schloss works for Comptroller John Liu, who oversees the city's $110 billion in pension assets.
"There is no meeting scheduled," Michael Loughran, a spokesman for Liu, said in an e-mail. Schloss declined to comment. Peter Rose, a spokesman for Blackstone, said the firm "talks with our limited partners all the time about issues that concern them."
In June, Joan Solotar, Blackstone's senior managing director for public markets, wrote a letter saying that state and local pension funds have been the single largest investors with Blackstone since its founding in 1985.
"We are proud of the returns we have been able to achieve and the part those returns have played in helping states and cities keep the promises made to their employees," Solotar wrote in the letter to Pensions & Investments magazine.
Blackstone's response didn't satisfy union representatives who sit on the city's five pension boards and vote on which managers to hire and fire, the people said.
Of course, Blackstone's loss is someone else's gain. Therefore, people like Bill Miller can only hope that Wien's 2012 forecast expands from 10 to well over 100 predictions. Who knows who else the oracle may insult next:
The city comptroller's office, which makes recommendations
to the funds' boards, had already compiled a list of potential
hedge fund-of-funds managers that included Blackstone and
Baltimore-based Legg Mason Inc.'s Permal Group, according to the
people, who also asked not to be identified because the list
hasn't been made public. More than one manager probably will be
chosen, according to the people.
Yet the supreme irony in all of this, is that Wien is absolutely correct: there is no way that the US pension system is sustainable in its current form, and absent trillions in backstop funding from the US government. But in a country in which only propaganda is endorsed, and the truth is to be only whispered in dark corners, people particularly in positions of power, should know their place, and stick with the program.

Hilarious, the one time that old fart gets it right, it costs his firm money. Who are the bigger douches, sponging retired public servants or the Blackstone mob for employing him ?
Well the Hedge Fund is obviously the bigger douche. Occasionally the public employees actually clean streets, put out a fire, catch a common criminal.
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears: Ol' "Pequot" Wein was the guest star this morning, along with the other wooden Indians on "Squawk Box."
Interesting, that the old chap would take such a position in opposition to Big Union, biting the pinkie-ringed hands which feed his shop -- and also the fact that Byron was an unapologetic supporter of Barry O'Bama, during Campaign 2008.
2011... the year of defaults. State and locals will crash hard. This will lead to much higher unemployment. Welcome to the Third World
Blackstone is nothing but a Ponzi front company, re-distributing "wealth" amongst it's "wealth" managers. Their investments are all (mostly) in nudge-nudge, wink-wink type deals.
Check out their Indian investment strategy, mostly in "infrastructure" and real estate, typically the worst offenders in terms of opacity in India. More nudge-nudge.
The man is irrelevant. Their money power is dangerous though. it inflates all the wrong things. Send all the wrong signals.
I suspect the people who write for Credit Writedown and Naked Capitalism will be on the phone to take Blackstone's place.
give the man another chance. i'll bet he will get 2 or 3 right next time.
Wien may suck at forecasting but what he says is absolutely true.
taxpayers 'literally can't afford the benefits we have given our retirees in state and local governments and we have to change that.'"
I might also add that taxpayers can't afford to bail out banks either.
I might also add that taxpayers can't afford to bail out banks either.
Hell, at this point most taxpayers can't afford to bail out a small rowboat.
We will see more outrage in the near future over public sector pension plans. The sheeple need their angered directed at someone(eat your own). I never heard a peep from these same sheeple when the banks looted the treasury. I explained what was going on and all I received were glazed looks. The govt has gotten its moneys worth from the education system(dumbed down sheeple). These are my observations from blue collar main st.
Watching the attacks on congressmen at last year's town meetings and the response to Tea Party candidates taking on not only Democrats but Republicans who voted for the bailouts, it may be time to give the term "sheeple" a little rest. Let's see what the increasing anger of the taxpayers will produce in their opposition to a leviathan big government and the excesses of public sector employees. IMO, the time is here. :)
What about federal retirements? I don't think we can afford those either.
9 trillion for banks...poverty for everyone else
the 8k makes interesting reading
my guess is senior managers and partners spend more on gratuities than most readers here pay in taxes
PS Rosie coming up on Bloomberg Radio
Does ZH now have new doubts that these pensions are not absurd??
I despise Wien as much as the next sane individual, but to citicize him for this no-brainer is truly petty.
I think it is a zero hedge laughing moment. Most on here know that the states can't afford the promises they made to their employees.
The funny thing in the upside down dystopian nightmare that we live in, is the one time this old fool actually says something that is true and likely to happen, his firm loses money because of it.
That is what is sobering, hilarious, and scary at the same moment.
Wien is to the perma bulls what the Celentes and Rosenbergs are to the bears.
None of these clowns would survive in a trading pit for more than 15 minutes because they lack a vital ingredient that distinguishes the trader from the economic analyst: the trader understands this game isn't about being right or wrong about the economy, it is about being on the right side of the trade.
Celente buys gold and silver and stays out of the market and has been doing it for quite sometime.
I think with that strategy, Gerald is doing pretty well.
That's what they get for employing a zombie.
Taxpayers 'literally can't afford the benefits we have given our retirees in state and local governments and we have to change that.'" -- Byron Wien
Facing a public outcry and a flood of letters to editors throughout the state, University of California Regents yesterday denied the request of 36 UC executives earning more than $245,000 a year to lift their retirement annnual pension cap of $183,750, according to the UC (Los Angeles) Daily Bruin.
Under UC's formula, which calculates retirement benefits on only the first $245,000 of pay, an employee earning $400,000 a year who retires after 30 years would get a $183,750 annual pension.
Lift the cap and the pension rises to $300,000 a year.
In a Dec. 9 letter to the UC Board of Regents, 36 high-paid executives said commitments were made in 1999 by UC to lift its cap on benefits for individuals making more than $245,000. The IRS lifted its Federal limit cap in 2007, but the increases were never allocated—"because of the economic downturn, that never happened," according to the petitioners' statement.
The letter petitioners earned up to $729,000 in 2009. The letter calculates the cost to the University at $50.6 million to raise benefits for some 200 employees.
According to the Daily Bruin, petitioners Yudof and Gould "feel prepared to defend their position in court if necessary."

Abram's move to fullback surprising?
With three new freshmen safeties enrolling this summer, and with Lamarcus Joyner moving over from cornerback, Florida State's cupboard is well stocked at safety.
"He never played offense (in high school)," said Kathleen head coach Irving Strickland. "He played corner and free safety which was why I was surprised when I talked to him. I'm like, 'you're moving to what?'"
"He's athletic and can run. I think he can be a big time player," said FSU head coach Jimbo Fisher. "He's got great ball skills, tremendous top end speed, he's very athletic and extremely physical. He's not a 6-foot-2 or 3 guy, he's 6-foot or 5-11 guy... He can catch the ball out of the backfield."
While his high school coach admits he was caught a bit off guard by the surprising move of his former player, he agrees with Fisher that Abram has the natural ability to excel at his new position.
"If you are looking for somebody that is an athletic kid that will get up on a linebacker in the I-formation or however they are going to use him as far as his athletic ability he'll do a great job," said Strickland. "As an good athlete as he is I'm sure he'll make the adjustment and give it everything he has."
Considering that he's added about 30 pounds of muscle to his frame since his high school playing days, Fisher has little doubt that the sophomore will continue to add good weight and become a dominate force at fullback in the years to come.
"When he graduates he'll be 240 to 245 pounds," said Fisher. "I think he has tremendous upside."
Gene Williams is the founder and administrator of Warchant.com and writes stories and features covering all of FSU's sports with an emphasis on football and football recruiting. For seven years, Williams hosted a weekly sports radio show in Tallahassee. During football season, he appears as a weekly guest on 1010 XL Sports Radio in Jacksonville and 1270 The Team in Tallahassee, and hosts a weekly TV show on WCTV2. Williams is also a former ACC correspondent for College Football News (weekly national newspaper). Story about Gene Williams & Warchant.com.

how do you tell the difference between the 5.2L eng. and the 5.9L eng.
Most dodge rams that i look at have the 5.2L eng. but some have the 5.9L gas eng. i was wondering how you could tell the difference so i dont buy one thinking it has one eng. when it really has the other one. lol
4 Answers
look at your vin # a vin Z will be a 5.9 and a vin Y will be a 5.2, there is no real way to visually tell the two apart (that i know of) because they use almost all the same components unless of course you tear the engine down and look at the crank shaft
the best way is the casting #s on the block because they both look the same. one good example is the dakota v8. it comes with a 318 but a 360 is a direct fit with no mods. people wouldnt even know.
casting # on the block yea if you have a way to look it up
All Magnum engines are stamped either 360 or 318 on the driver's side near the rear of the block. The casting number found on all 360 Magnum blocks is 5302006, whereas the 5.2/318 Magnums are 53006714 or 53006657. Otherwise, the 5.2 and 5.9 appear pretty much identical.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed (View Workflow)
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 1.1.3
Fix Version/s: 1.1.4
Component/s: None
Environment:Server-Linux, Client-MacOS
Simple to reproduce:
DatabaseMetaData dbMeta = con.getMetaData();
System.out.println("dbMeta.storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = " + dbMeta.storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers());
System.out.println("dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = " + dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers());
System.out.println("dbMeta.storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = " + dbMeta.storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers());
But depending on the JDBC driver used, the results are different:
Talking to MariaDB with a MySQL 5.1.18 JDBC Driver:
dbMeta.storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = true
dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = true
dbMeta.storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = false
Talking to MariaDB with the MariaDB 1.1.3 JDBC Driver:
dbMeta.storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = false
dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = true
dbMeta.storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = false
Talking to MySQL with the MySQL JDBC Driver:
dbMeta.storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = false
dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = true
dbMeta.storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = true
Talking to MySQL with the MariaDB JDBC Driver:
dbMeta.storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = false
dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = true
dbMeta.storesLowerCaseQuotedIdentifiers() = false
I would have expected the return results to be the same regardless which JDBC driver implementation was used.

There is no MySQL JDBC driver. That driver is called ConnectorJ
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ – "MySQL Connector/J is the official JDBC driver for MySQL."
So fine. Why is the behavior different between the two drivers? That's what I'm asking.
Further, what should be the return values? My database has a table, "nsd c map" (the exact string produced by the "show tables" mysql client command).
Using "NSD C MAP" as the table name argument for dbMeta.getColumns() returned an empty ResultSet, while using "nsd c map" returned a ResultSet with the needed data. The tool I'm using look at the return values for stores*CaseQuotedIdentifiers to determine whether toUpper or toLower operations are needed for the dbMeta.getColumns() call.
With dbMeta.storesUpperCaseQuotedIdentifiers() returning true, this tells the tool to upper case the table name when it seems that would cause dbMeta.getColumns() to fail returning useful data.
It almost seems like storesMixedCaseQuotedIdentifiers() should true, with the other two (stores[Upper|Lower]CaseQuotedIdentifiers) should return false.
It is complicated, and not consistent between platforms.
The casing of database and table names (how they are stored) is controlled with variable 'lower_case_table_names', which has 3 values 0 (stored mixed case, compare insensitive), 1 (store lower case, case-insensitive compare), or 2 (store mixed case, compare case-insensitive). IIRC, this lowercasing does not apply to column names though, that iirc are always mixed case.
storesUpperCase is definitely wrong. We (and ConnectorJ) should return mixed or lower.
More on identifier case sensitivity : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html
Is there a way for a JDBC client to obtain the value of this setting
through DBMeta?
Not through DatabaseMetaData, currently. You can use "select @@lower_case_table_names" to obtain it.
I fixed this one. The solution is think fairly consistent translation of lower_case_table_names parameter to JDBC spec*
storesUpper = false
storesMixed = (lower_case_table_names == 2)
storesLower = (lower_case_table_names == 1)
supportsMixed = ((lower_case_table_names == 0)
Quoted identifiers are treated the same way as unquoted with regard to case sensitivity.
- This does not mean the behaviour will be consistent to ConnectorJ. JDBC conformance has higher prio.

I have a Problem with Xcode:
At the moment I am working on an application for iOS SDK 6.1. Somedays ago I was implementing some methods and tried to compile the project. Then something strange happened:
Compilation failed and I got some errors (see picture below) in two files, which aren't related to the methods I worked on.
I searched for errors in my code but couldn't find any.
Then I closed the project and opened it again: They were still here.
Then I closed the project and Xcode and reopened both: They were still here.
Then I created a new project and copied all the code: The issue appeared again.
Now I am stuck and have no clue what to do. Do I miss something in my code?
Please help me!

...and other thoughts on creating content, being pro-victory/pro-wealth/pro-expansion.
Jason Shen posted up a video, "Further Thoughts on "Winning Isn't Normal"" -
I appreciate the mention in there, and I thought, yeah, let's try this video thing more.
This video includes:
-Quick thanks to Jason
-Pro-victory. Where is the place for the people who want a pro-wealth, pro-ambition, pro-excellence, pro-achieving to hang out?
-Polarizing people...
-...can't please everyone
-When forced to choose, I choose the more absurd way
--When creating, it's very important to keep yourself entertained and engaged in the work. Makes it easier and makes for better quality work.
--Most people are like WAAAAAAY too cautious/conservative
-You will get critics - the worst will be people with the "Righteousness" character trait, which is one of the worst that people have... with some examples.
And more! Check out the video and let me know what you think -
Thanks for that post Sebastian.
There's been a few times over the years where I'd sort of do random searches on google, not quite sure what I was looking for. And yeah, you can find plenty of stuff on things like motivation, goal setting, habits etc, etc, and it's not bad advice. But what was out there seemed to lack a central theme or driving force. It was like the 'how' of it was regurgitated out of any self help book, without any regard for the 'why'.
I was thrilled when I stumbled across your site late last year. A site by and for unashamedly pro-wealth, pro-success and pro-expansion people is really the sort of thing I've been looking for all this time. It's good know there's alot of others out there who have the same underpinning motivation or philosophy towards life.
Thanks for the site Sebastian, what you're doing is excellent.
Righteousness usually means virtuous, doesn't it? Would a better term to describe what you're driving at be self-righteousness? Those that believe in their own virtue, regardless of whether their actions betray that virtue? In any case...
That's a pretty interesting trait, because it really seems to be a few nasty traits rolled into one. The truly self-righteous I've had the pleasure of knowing are generally endowed with pride, usually some envy and wrath, stubbornness, a refusal to think critically, and maybe worst of all, fear. All traits that make people difficult to deal with.
I honestly love talking to self-righteous people, just for the entertainment value, but I don't think I've ever completed a project with a self-righteous person where one of us wasn't unhappy at the end. Any strategies for getting what you want out of self-righteous people?
Hey Sebastian, I realized a long time ago that not everyone wants to grow, not everyone wants to take responsibilities and simply accept the fact that they are in control of their own actions. I'm not sure why that happens but I suspect is a result of how we are grown, which also means that we can change by identifying the bad habits that were taught unconsciously by the society we were raised in. I think that one of those habits that one must cultivate is creating stuff, producing as much as possible. That's the biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful one that I can think of.
Inspiring stuff! Being bold and direct is great and makes you stand out while everyone are just mumbling soft opinions.
To me, the only exception is when you are at your workplace. I feel that when you're working for a typical company, it's counterproductive to be upfront about your ambitions while you communicate with your colleagues.
BTW, I know that the sound quality might deteriorate, but shooting another "video post" in the middle of the Vietnamese countryside would be nice :)
I'm really thrilled to bring you a guest post by Dan Andrews. He runs a product development company in San Diego, runs the Tropical MBA blog, and the Lifestyle Business Podcast. Some really good insights on there, and he's a really solid guy too. Here's Dan -
Try Losing Some Moral Battles and Winning Some Real Ones
When you are bemoaning the success or victory of others, you are generally seeking to achieve a sort of victory yourself. Let's call this a moral victory. Moral victories are addicting. You can achieve them at will. They magically appear whenever you need a boost.
Moral victories do one thing: they make losers feel like they've gotten some victory.
Moral victories are popular with people when they feel like they have no real power to make changes in the world. This makes some sense to me-- building power, wealth, and influence is generally difficult.
The woman no longer in red moved through the crowded, dusty streets. She stole furtive glances around her, but was much more calm at this point. Completely obscured by her all-encompassing black attire, her dark eyes the only potentially identifying feature exposed, she felt confident that she was able to blend in. She deliberately adopted a more humble pose, slouching her shoulders and avoiding standing near any men, as was the local custom. She clutched her robes to her and recited a silent prayer that her subterfuge was working, and that she could continue to evade her pursuers. She longed for rest, but knew it was unlikely to come soon.
"Where has he gotten off to? Have you seen-Aha! Jason, there you are, you silly thing, whatever are you doing out here? It can't possibly be good for your health to stand out here in the cold, and you do know how I worry. Honestly, I don't know what possesses you to put yourself in such an obviously unpleasant, dangerous situation. What do you get out of this?"
The Contessa stepped briefly onto the balcony, gave an exaggerated shiver, grabbed Jason by the arm in a mock attempt to gain warmth, and not giving him a chance to respond, pulled him back into the interior. On her way, she shot a disapproving scowl at the couple, who looked suitably embarrassed at being caught out by someone who they knew had influence over their respective partners. She jerked her head in the direction of her study, and the couple knew this meant that they would need to meet with her later to work out what sort of favor they would owe her to maintain their secret.
"Now Jason, there's a fellow you simply must meet here!" Jason rolled his eyes at hearing that for the umpteenth time. She pretended not to notice and went on. "He says he might have a job for you." She took great satisfaction in seeing Jason perk up and become legitimately interested at that. She knew that her talent for making connections between the many people she knew was of great value, and so while she enjoyed making sort of mocking, unnecessary introductions, enjoying that her guests could not refuse her, she also preferred to give everyone at least one introduction that would actually serve their purposes each time they attended one of her soirees. Not letting go of Jason's arm, she pulled him along and made mutual introductions between him and a large man in an expensive suit, who was chewing on the end of an unlit cigar. He was looking at a golden pocket watch, as though anxious for something to happen, and while he broke into a grin when he saw the Contessa, he still looked preoccupied.
