How far will you take it? - The Wrigley Field Ivy
How far will you take it? - The Wrigley Field Ivy
Once spring slowly turns to summer in Chicago, the iconic ivy — which has been around since 1937 — begins to grow along the outfield bricks at Wrigley Field.
If not for daily maintenance from the groundskeepers, the ivy would cover up the distance markers, signage and even spread into the bleachers at the historic home of the Cubs.
Kelly Crull takes a ride around Wrigleyville in the all-new Toyota RAV4 Hybrid bringing you a special Cubs feature on the iconic ivy. Make sure to check back all summer long for more features!
Watch: Huskers' Tim Miles flies with Blue Angels, almost vomits
Watch: Huskers' Tim Miles flies with Blue Angels, almost vomits
Well, it's going to be pretty difficult for college basketball to top this line this offseason.
"It's all dry heave, I can't puke."
Nebraska head basketball coach Tim Miles took a ride with the Blue Angels, a very cool and surely very frightening experience, and the fine folks with the Huskers were good enough to post a video of Miles' flight.
While watching the coach experience the take off and the rolls is very cool, there's perhaps no more entertaining moment than when he reaches for the barf bag.
Check it out:
Miles is without a doubt the Big Ten's funniest coach. No wonder he produced this kind of moment.
Great flight, coach!
Former Illini wideout Aaron Moorehead center of college football Twitter controversy
Former Illini wideout Aaron Moorehead center of college football Twitter controversy
A former Illinois wide receiver has landed himself at the center of college football's latest offseason recruiting controversy.
Aaron Moorehead, who caught 85 passes with the Illini from 1999 to 2002 and won a Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts, is currently the wide receivers coach at Texas A&M. And it's his Twitter account that's getting the attention Thursday after he sent out a string of tweets in the wake of the Class of 2017's No. 1 quarterback recruit decommiting from the Aggies on Wednesday night.
I feel sorry for ppl who never understand loyalty. I can't really even vibe with u. At the end of the day trust is 💯 & everything else is BS— Aaron Moorehead (@Amo8685) May 5, 2016
I wasn't even talking about who everyone thinks I'm talking about. I didn't even know #badtiming #relevanttho #stillnoloyalty— Aaron Moorehead (@Amo8685) May 5, 2016
Lots of tough typers tonight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 #soundsgood— Aaron Moorehead (@Amo8685) May 5, 2016
People act like the truth is all the sudden a bad thing. Society is too sensitive. Y'all boys soft. #texastough— Aaron Moorehead (@Amo8685) May 5, 2016
I love Texas A&M football. I guard it and respect it with my life. I don't take that lightly day to day— Aaron Moorehead (@Amo8685) May 5, 2016
Well, all that tweeting didn't sit so well with some other Texas A&M recruits, one of which decommitted directly because of what Moorehead tweeted.
‼‼ pic.twitter.com/2g0ee2pRkA— Mannie Netherly (@yovng_netherly) May 5, 2016
Moorehead tweeted out an apology Thursday.
May 5, 2016
A tough day for Texas A&M and a really bad day for the former Illini wideout.

Mr.Lobotomy Jan 6, 2008 8:07 AM
in response to Patricia WIf your external drive is off, unmounted or disconnected when Time Machine wants to back up, Time Machine simply waits until the drive is mounted to perform its next backup task. This allows laptop users to leave the external hard drive at home while travelling. I have not seen Time Machine turn itself off.
Peggy Lynn Jan 6, 2008 1:23 PM
in response to Patricia WTime Machine has never turned itself off if I eject its drive and turn it off. If this happens again you should report as a bug to Feedback.
Patricia W Jan 7, 2008 7:13 AM
in response to Peggy LynnUnfortunately whatever caused it to be turned off happened over a month ago. I've locked the preferences although from what I can see it is not possible to lock an individual preference so I have to remember to re-lock my preferences if I have to change any of them.
Peggy Lynn Jan 7, 2008 10:16 AM
in response to Patricia WIf any of your preferences change on their own this should be reported to Apple. There is a padlock in the lower left corner of of the window in System Preferences > Time Machine.
Patricia W Jan 7, 2008 10:39 AM
in response to Peggy LynnAs I think I said I have locked the preference but given that there is only one lock for all the preferences it makes it easy to unlock and forget to relock. As I mentioned, I don't know what caused the preference to change. I didn't notice it until it was too late.
Peggy Lynn Jan 7, 2008 11:06 AM
in response to Patricia WI don't see any lock in System Preferences [Show All] but I do have one for Time Machine. Where do you see the lock for all System Preferences?
Patricia W Jan 7, 2008 11:18 AM
in response to Peggy LynnThere are a number of preferences that have padlocks (e.g. Sharing) but if you change one then they are all unlocked so I surmise that there is only one lock.
Peggy Lynn Jan 7, 2008 11:46 AM
in response to Patricia WMine work the same way. I never lock anything in system preferences so I've never noticed before. It would probably be a good idea to leave them unlocked for awhile and keep a sharp eye out to see if Time Machine decides to turn itself off again. It certainly shouldn't be doing any such thing under any circumstances and should be reported as a bug if it does.
nerowolfe Jan 7, 2008 12:31 PM
in response to Peggy LynnIt is remote, but some system log might indicate what happened.
Check all your logs around the last date that TM did a backup and see if anything shows up.
If it was a system glitch, it may be there.
Just thinking out loud, but that is why there are logs.
Patricia W Jan 8, 2008 6:08 AM
in response to nerowolfeI went back in my system logs and around the time of the last Time Machine backup I see the following messages:
Security policy loaded: Safety net for Time Machine (TMSafetyNet)
But that message is showing up now so it probably isn't significant.
Unfortunately I can't find any logs before Dec 2 (which is the date in question.)

This is a joint Apolyton-CFC NES. It will be fairly plot-driven at first, more open ended later on, with plenty of opportunities for customization and choice all the way through.
It is set on earth, thousands of years after an apocalyptic event. The climate is recovering, and in certain regions humanity has clawed its way back into the industrial age, but resources are still scarce and civilizations isolated.
Thus the Apolyton players and CFC players will each start in separate regions, initially with little or no contact between sites, surrounded by non-industrial cultures.
I will run one thread on CFC, and another on poly, and open an Embassy Thread for when you gain reliable contact shortly after we start.
Because Non-Player Countries will not initially be playable, it is important that you declare your intent to play now. I will be custom-editing the map and stats for how many players there are. If you intend to play, please post a I would like to play or some recognizable variant thereof. If you change your mind, please post a I have suddenly and inexplicably changed my mind, or some variant thereof.
Any and all experience levels welcome.
I will be updating once a week, more often (yeah right!) if appropriate and feasible.
If you give me a compelling reason why you should be on the other sites team, I will probably allow it.
The premise is based upon the short story Slow Birds by Ian Watson. Its a good little story; you can go read it or not. Having read it will not confer any advantages or disadvantages to you in the game.
This is not historical. It may or may not take place in our worlds timeline; what little history your civilization knows will be given to you upon the opening of the scenario. More may be discovered as you play.
Thus aside from some background culture and a bit of basic local history, the character of your nations will be open to a wide degree of customization.
Rules, Orders, and Stats
Orders are not based on a mechanical rule system. The nation statistics are there for your convenience, not to require you to bang your head on the wall trying to figure them out. You could probably mostly ignore them and do just fine.
Everything you write is an order of sorts. Your descriptions, actions, stories, however you choose to express the way your country is functioning and where you want it to go will form a library of prose from which the conditions of your country will be drawn.
So you are encouraged to integrate abstract orders with the real life manifestations they represent.
Example of lame orders:
Increase economy. Train more soldiers. Stomp out the rebellion.
Example of good orders:
With the recent influx of countryside immigrants into the port city of Veracruz, drawn by the prospects of work in the new steel mills, we must take measures to accommodate the growing population. With money from industrial taxes supporting the municipal budget, we are slated to begin construction within the year of basic housing and infrastructure within the year on the new riverside residential suburb. Improved water and electric facilities will come within two years, and amenities and a market district following that etc.
That said, its probably better to write lame orders than no orders.
Secrecy and Espionage
A fair bit of the decisions you must make will be based upon trying to get information on the circumstances you face. Its a shattered world, and you know little (or incorrectly) of what came before the present or now lies much beyond your borders. So guess what? The full map will not be known to you, nor will completely filled out, up to date statistics of your enemies be available to you.
Things that would really be widely known (at least to your government) will be posted in the public update, things that would be secret will be passed on to you secretly through pm or email.
Thats why your espionage strength will be very importantit is crucial to find things out about other players and limit what they can find out about you. IMPORTANT- Espionage must be done in game! Do Not look at the other sites thread unless I permit you to, or use out of character knowledge. That said, its probably wise not to post top secret battle orders in the thread, firstly because I cant stop players from seeing them, only find out after the fact, and secondly because your allies might decide they dont want to be your allies anymore (players from the same site are not bound in an unbreakable alliancewhether you cooperate with them is up to you). I frown upon, and by frown upon I mean gleefully punish, dishonorable play.
Tough Times
This will probably be a challenging game for your nation. Its possible youll slide through without ever being seriously worried that your country will be eradicated, but not likely. Life is not fair, history is not fair.
If you see something you dont agree with, by all means bring it to my attention. I may have made a factual mistake; I may have made an error in judgement. But keep in mind things will not always go your way. I will not give your nation difficulties without reason, and I will certainly not intentionally ignore your orders.
But keep in mind that a lot of the fun of a game can come through extricating yourself through difficult situations, or merely surviving when the odds are thoroughly stacked against you. Enjoy the challenge of dealing with the difficulties your people face!

Boober: It's quiet. Maybe they've stopped trying to rescue us.
Red: Yeah, maybe. You know, Boober, I feel kind of giddy.
Boober: Yeah, giddy and tired. You know what that means, don't you?
Red: We're running out of air.
(Boober nods)
Red: What do you think it's like to die?
Boober: I don't know, Red. I don't think anybody does. You know, I remember this one day I was doing my laundry, and then this big soap bubble floated right up from the tub, and there it was, in front of my face, beautiful and shiny, and then it was gone.
(Red begins to cry)
Boober: Red, don't be sad.
Red: I can't help it.
Boober: It was fun while it lasted, all the good times and songs and the laughs and stuff.
Red: You've always said you never liked the good times and songs and fun.
Boober: Well, sometimes I liked them, but that's a secret.

Gobo: Oh. That's a little harder.

Method of Destruction? More like Midway of Destruction. Thrash metal legends M.O.D. are set to destroy the heart of St. Paul's Midway at the intimately dirty Big V's tonight. There may be no better way to slough off the last vestiges of this brutal winter than by mixing sweat, spit, and booze with some hardcore punks. Also on the bill are locals In Defense—if you want to know what to expect from them, check out their video of a performance/hostile takeover at a Taco John's in Eau Claire. "Fierce" doesn't even begin to describe this lineup. Expect shredding guitars, shredded jeans, sleeveless jean-jackets, and enough metal studs to make an airport security person's head explode. With Daigoro and Kill Mosh Fuck Destroy.

Former Westlife singer and RTÉ 2FM broadcaster Nicky Byrne (above) has reportedly been selected to represent Ireland at this year's Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, Sweden.
Fluffybiscuits writes:
What this represents is an extremely lazy choice for RTÉ. Nicky is a lovely guy, great personality but time and time again Eurovision is used by singers who have been out of the music business for a long time (Think Englebert Humperdink, Bonnie Tyler etc). RTÉ could have done three things:
a) Revive the Castlebar Song Contest
b) A ten song final broadcast on a Sunday evening or Saturday/Friday night
c) Asked a current band – my choice would have been a floor filler with Le Galaxie and Sinead O Connor
Another opportunity wasted by RTÉ again….

Wannabe popstar, Xnthony, who you've previously featured signing autographs on Grafton Street, last night announced his bid for Eurovision glory in 2016 outside the Gaiety Theatre.
Xnthony will seek the guidance of the public in selecting a song for the competition in a series of special performances, titled Douze, in Smock Alley as part of the Tiger Dublin Fringe Festival. It'd be great to be featured on the site again given how popular he's been with your readers in the past….

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #139: Rage! Redux!; #190: Afraid to Dye
We have two milestones to celebrate today:
(1) Multiplex has hit #400! I don't make a fuss about these round-number milestones, because I've done so many unnumbered bonus strips that I've really already done more than 400 Multiplex strips, but some of you guys dig them. So hooray.
(2) The Multiplex Kickstarter project has reached the half-way mark! In the build-up to reaching the half-way mark, I announced (via Twitter and Facebook) a little bonus reward thing where anybody who pledged before Thursday (Wednesday night at midnight) was entered into a random drawing to win one of five printed and signed copies of the Multiplex: Chapter 1 comic. (Not to be confused with the Mutliplex: Book 1 collection that the Kickstarter project is funding. The Chapter 1 print comic is basically the first eBook, except on paper.)
I hadn't planned on us actually reaching the half-way mark before Monday, but… well, we did. In just three weeks!
Anyway, so if you pledge ANY amount between now and Thursday, you'll be eligible to win one of five copies. (Note that these aren't yet printed, so they won't get shipped out for a while. They will eventually be available in the Multiplex Store, as well.)
This means, of course, that we have another
$3750 $3700 to raise in about ten weeks. But don't let the pledges die off now! Even if you don't win a copy of the Chapter 1 print comic, there will be more drawings for more free stuff in the future, and any backer will be eligible (unless you've already won something, or you're related to me, or you're a close personal friend of mine whom I think should be ineligible because it wouldn't be fair to my regular readers).
Don't forget, there's are also coupon codes for a free copy of the Chapter 1 HD edition and $2 off any of the T-shirts in the Multiplex Store for all past, present, and future Kickstarter backers, so you've got all sorts of reasons not to hesitate and pledge today!
Other less exciting news is that, alas, there will not be a Triple Feature tonight. Tom's had another hard drive failure and so his computer is basically/entirely out of commission, and I have stitches in my tongue, so I can't talk for extended periods of time very comfortably. Pain killers help. (They do not help me concentrate in order to draw comics, however.)
The stitches, in case you are curious, are from a biopsy. I have a white spot on my tongue that my dentist and doctor wanted to have checked out. There is a 95% chance of it being benign, so let's not make a big deal about it; I'll let you all know what's up when I know what's up. The most annoying part of it is, I also have a cold. So like just when I need to be gorging myself with lots of hot food, that's the last thing I want to put in my mouth. :1 Such is life.
Anyway! There will be three updates this week. (You gotta know what happens to Jason, right?) So, I'll see you on Wednesday!

Multiplex will be back on Monday
Thursday, April 14, 2016
It's only been a couple of months since I said goodbye to Punk and today my fiancée Karyn and I had to say goodbye to her cat Sydney. Like Punk, she was eighteen years old and had multiple long-term health issues.
I only knew her for the last eight of her years, and although we had a contentious start, and she never got along with Punk, we grew to have a special bond. In the last few months, she would sit on me as I slept and be the first thing I saw almost every morning. She was a very sweet, ridiculously affectionate cat, and we will both miss her.
Multiplex is taking a very short break. I'll see you here Monday.

Hey, I'm Mohamed!

Reviews From Guests
Ready to go back ! We had a wonderfull stay in Instanbul. The apartment is really well located in the heart of Cihangir district and two steps from Taksim place. Mohamed was very helpfull. He explained us everything about the place and was ready to help us to find our way in the city. Thanks a lot. Alexandre
Hemish was a great host. Very friendly. We felt like home. The apartment was really nice as well. The location is very central but still very quiet. There are a lot of cats on the streets around the apartment. So if you don't like cats that's something to keep in mind.
Mohamed was a very great and polite host. He is very friendly and helpful. I have every time a quick response to all my questions. The apartment is ideally situated in the heart of the action but quiet. Some shops are around for the groceries. Bars, cafes and restaurants are just some footsteps (or stairs) away.. I found for my Istanbul adventure is the perfect place. The apartment was huge and clean. The kitchen is equipped with allemwas you need. I slept very well. If the apartment during my next visit will be available again, I will book it.
Mohamed's place is just PERFECT for a City Trip to Istanbul: Best location next to Taksim, direct bus from Airport for only 10 Lira, the apartment is very cosy, spacious, full equipped and we felt like at home! Mohamed is a very friendly, funny and serious host - I would HIGHLY recommend this place for everyone!
Mohammed is ridiculously nice! :) He was there waiting for us for a SUPER LATE check in, which was incredibly nice for a start, and left the house fully ready for our stay. He even offered us to use the food in the kitchen and texted us to know if we were comfortable and doing well there. The house is super cute, and spacious, and well located. Totally corresponds to the pictures, and made my stay incredible. Loved the city, the apartment, the neighbourhood, etc etc. It was simply perfect, the house has everything you need, really. Thanks so much and I'll stay here for sure if I come back!
Mohammed was a great, welcoming host. He has a nicely located, tastefully designed, clean flat. Having lived in Istanbul in the past, I can say the house is in a very good neighborhood (cihangir). Very close to good cafes, restaurants but not noisy at all. Highly recommended!
My boyfriend and I spend 10 wonderful days in Mohamed's apartment. The apartment is exactly as it is shown in pictures, spacious, cosy, warm, equipped with everything which is necessary for a comfortable stay, including a washing machine which came in handy, since we cooked at home a lot. The location is perfect: the flat is very quiet, and yet very close to Taksim and Istiklal with all the clubs, restaurants, shops, etc. Mohamed was a wonderful host, helpful and attending to our every need. We would totally recommend his place, and stay there again ourselves next time.
Mohamed was the best host I ever had in my long experience of renting from individuals. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and look after the smallest detail. The apartment was impeccably clean. It's more spacious than what it looks in the pics. The kitchen has everything you need. The internet connection was always available with a strong signal. The location is great, and quite close to the Taksim area by walking. The only drawback is the fact that the municipality is doing major construction and road works in the Taksim area, which made dragging my luggage to the apartment a tiresome experience... Again, it's a 5-star property with a 5-star host. STRONGLY RECOMMENDED L'appartement était impeccable. Mohamed est le meilleur hôte que j'ai jamais eu dans ma longue expérience de location auprès d'individus... Fortement conseillé!
My stay at Mohamed's apartment was like being at home in Istanbul. The apartment was very spacious and has all you need for comfy nights in with your partner and is also very nicely positioned enabling shopping in Taksim square, or trips to see all the wonderful places you can find in Istanbul. I was on a working trip for 10 days and so I enjoyed the comfort and convenience of the apartment which is positioned on a road full of actors and stylish people.. so you can even spot some stars while going about your business. If you are into Yoga there is a fab centre very close and the many stairs famous in Istanbul add to an amazing work out. Finally, Mohamed was a fabulous host, he picked me up from the airport and stuck in Istanbul traffic for 11/2 hrs plus I was entertained and welcomed by his interests in life and people. It certainly was a very enjoyable hospitable visit.. I shall return...
Great spacious apartment near Taksim square located on a quiet and cute little street. I stayed about 9-10 days and felt like right at home. The bedroom is quite large, bigger than the living/kitchen and has a nice enclosed terrace. There's a daily cat showdown that occurs outside. If you're like me and you live in a city with zero animal interaction, this can be quite fascinating. The only problem you may across is with the shower. It drains slowly so you should expect to take some quick showers. Overall, I would recommend this apartment. Mohamed is very nice and quick to respond (should you have any concerns).
Reviews From Hosts
Mohamed was a very respectful and quiet guest. Always up for a good chat and very caring and loving with our children. Glad to have him in our home.
Mohamed was a good guest. He was nice, considerate, respectful and thoughtful. I enjoyed his company. I recommend him to the airbnb community, and would like to host him again.
Mohamed was a great guest. He was very easy to communicate with and we would be happy to host him again. I definitely recommend him as a guest!
By now writing a review about Mohamed is like writing a review about our favourite bottle of wine that we end up buying whenever we go to the supermarket. Fantastic. Mohamed is a friend of the house by now and is always welcome. We look forward to hosting him again :)
It was our pleasure to host Mohamed. Welcome back again! Koiava Family, Tbilisi, Georgia, 2014
Mohamed and Emel are wonderful people and great guests! Very kind, full of positive energy, and eager to know more about Sarajevo. They took great care of the apartment, left it clean and tidy with a beautiful gift note, and what to say more accept I couldn't ask for better guests!:) I am only sorry that we didn't have a chance to spend more time together, since I am sure I would spent truly pleasant moments in their company. I warmly recommend them to any host! Mohamed and Emel, thank you so much for your kindness, understanding and good spirit! Hope to see you again really and I wish you all the best!
Mohamed and his friend were very good guests. They left everything clean . I recommend them totally to all

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Hemish's b&b. The apartment and our room especially were beautifully decorated and comfortable for our long stay (over 2 weeks!). It's easy enough to find a room with a bed, but our room also had a desk, a comfortable couch, and an armoire that was really helpful in storing our clothes. The room also had a small roofed balcony/sunroom that was a lovely place to get some fresh air without ever having to leave the room. We also really appreciated the added perk of breakfast every morning. Having a delicious, filling breakfast every morning without any extra charge really helped us maintain our food budget while in Istanbul. Both Hemish and Ilhan were courteous, professional, gracious hosts. They were an absolute delight to stay with for our weeks in Istanbul. We will definitely be recommending them to any friends visiting Istanbul!
I just have returned from my 2nd stay at the Turkish-American B&B, and I am in love with the place. The room is huge and comfortable and clean and I can't imagine that you could get anything of this caliber anywhere else in Istanbul for such a great price. The private bathroom is also a plus and the water pressure (which is always important to me) is great! Hemish is really an excellent and respectful host. He is really helpful with directions and advice and even with random projects. (He recently helped me out with some gift-wrapping!) I will continue to book this B&B for all of my trips to Istanbul!
Hemish was a very helpful and hospitable host during my stay at the B&B. He made delicious breakfast and provided valuable information for getting around Istanbul. The B&B itself is in a good location, very clean and comfortable. I'd definitely stay there again!
Hemish was the ideal host during my stay at his B&B in Istanbul. He was helpful in orienting me to his city, provided comfortable accomodation in the perfect location from which to explore this city. His B&B is in a charming area, close to restaurants and cafes, and to Taksim Square. From there it was very easy to explore the city. I recommend Hemish as a great person and a great host.
We had a fantastic time staying at the Turkish-American B&B in the heart of the Cihangir neighborhood. The apartment is clean and modern (the shower in particular is great), and the room is quiet, private, and very spacious. We were amazed how easy it was to get around - just an easy 5 minute walk up the hill and you're in the heart of Taxim and Istiklal Cadessi; 10 minutes downhill and you're at the Tramvay to take you into the Old City and all the tourist attractions. Conveniently located near great coffeeshops, restaurants, and the Havas bus to get to and from the airport, this apartment was really a great find. Hemish is also a great host, his welcome letter and local info really helped us out during our stay and he made the best coffee we had in all of Turkey. Highly recommended!

The Pride of Russia: A Corrupt Politicians Ignoble Demise
2013-03-27 0:00
By Matthias Schepp |
A corrupt rising star in Putins ruling party was recently found dead in a cement-filled barrel. His murder reveals the murky cross-section of politics, business and crime that characterizes todays Russia.
Before Mikhail Pakhomov ended up in a metal barrel, his bones broken and his body encased in cement, he enjoyed himself one last time. It was the evening of February 12, and Pakhomov went to Marengo, his favorite restaurant in Lipetsk, an industrial city 370 kilometers (230 miles) from Moscow. On either side of the restaurant, which serves a beef salad called the "Camorra," are the Raspberry movie theater and the Igniter strip club.
For once Pakhomov, 35, was without female company, says a waitress. When he left the restaurant, three men dragged him into a car. When Pakhomov tried to escape, the men shot at him. Then they continued driving toward Moscow and delivered the injured man to their presumed customer. Pakhomov was then locked in an ice-cold basement and tortured.
Once he had died, his tormenter stuffed his body into a barrel filled with cement, wrapped it in plastic and hid it in a damp garage, where the police found it soon afterwards. It took them seven hours to cut through the cement and expose the body of Pakhomov, a local politician, businessman and rising star in Russian President Vladimir Putins party.
It was more than just a corpse that had come to light. The discovery shone a spotlight on an entire system, a network of politicians, businessmen and criminals, held together by corruption and money into the billions. The Pakhomov case exposes a Russia in which a mobster becomes a businessman and then a politician, and is even awarded the "Pride of Russia" medal.
After his death, the government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta gave Pakhomov an exceedingly large and favorable obituary, without mentioning his criminal past. He was indeed a model politician, just not the way in which he is described in the hymns of praise written after his death.
Criminals Have Come Into Power
In the 1990s Pakhomov was involved in the robbery of a grocery store. He only managed to stay out of prison because his father, a well-known theater director, paid for a favorable psychiatric evaluation.
"Pakhomov was part of the mafia, the Lipetsk Brotherhood. His death is the logical consequence of his career. He cheated too many people," says Sergei Valetov, a former police colonel who, as head of the organized crime division of the regional police department, was investigating Pakhomov. "Criminals have come into power, and Pakhomov isnt the only politician who made his money in illicit ways."

Question: What's a bi-weekly conditioner? Answer: Hikes scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays to invigorate your hiking senses, get you out of the gym, making friends and having fun!
5:45pm – Depart Eastgate Park and Ride (WEST LOT) ***We always meet in the WEST LOT at the Eastgate Park and Ride. Please note, with changes of season we will be leaving promptly at 5:45pm from the WEST LOT. [WE DO NOT MEET NOT UNDER THE OVERPASS…go to the other side-people keep going to the other lot and get left behind!]
6:15pm - Depart Trail head (approximation)
-Please indicate if you are meeting at the P&R or TH in your RSVP-
The 10 essentials. Nutrition (food), hydration (water), insulation (rain gear/extra clothing, GLOVES!), emergency shelter (small emergency bivy), navigation (map & compass), first aid kit & repair kit (for you!), sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), illumination (headlamp). There are always other items you should carry with you, but you will learn what you need personally. Trekking poles are to your desire. [Evening Hikes you can limit gear by creating smaller kits-use common sense].
Headlamp! The winter bi-weekly conditioners start in the dark. It is recommended you bring a headlamp with extra batteries. [Flashlights, torch, whatever gets you up and down the mountain safely]. *A headlamp check will be conducted at the trailhead…if you do not have one you will be turned away-this is for your safety.
I personally hike about 3-3.5 mph uphill (about the same coming down). Understandably, most folks might be at a different pace. The two trails I hike during the winter months are easy for any hiker. I have had folks with various paces arrive for these hikes-you are bound to find someone on the hike at your pace; just know that this is intended to be a conditioner for your personal goals. I will not turn folks away from being too slow. Feel free to contact me with questions.
Rain Policy
I hike, snowshoe, backpack rain, sleet, snow, shine…we live in Washington! Don't let a little rain stop you from enjoying the outdoors. I've never heard of anyone melting from a little rain ;)
During the winter months we will primarily stick to two main trails: Poo Poo Point (Tiger Mountain-Issaquah Alps) and Talus Loop (Mount Si-North Bend). Here is information for both:
Location: Rattlesnae Ledge; North Bend Area
Department of Natural Resources, South Puget Sound Region
Round Trip:
Elevation Gain: ft
Highest Point: ft
Features: Old growth
User info: Dogs allowed on leash, Discover Pass required
Driving Directions to Trailhead (Per WTA site):
From Seattle drive east on I-90 to exit 32 (436th Avenue SE). Turn left (north) over the freeway and drive 0.5 mile to North Bend Way. Turn left (west), and in 0.25 mile turn right (north) on Mount Si Road. The large trailhead parking lot is on the left, 2.5 miles down the road.
Each week the hike will change. If you have other hikes that you know well, or suggestions: I am willing to try new trails! Always up for a new adventure!
Many of my groups like to go out for a bite and a beer after. You are under no obligation to do so, but it is one of my favorite parts of the evenings!
Anyone able to carpool from Seattle?
0 · April 8, 2013

I've got a Smart and can take one from the Issaquah P&R if someone wants a ride. Otherwise TH
0 · April 5, 2013
For those going to the trailhead...the park closes the gate at dusk. Be sure to park outside of the gate! As always I highly recommend carpooling and I help to arrange carpools at the pr from eastgate. (lets all strive to reduce our carbon footprint). Laura C has offered a ride from issaquah...he little car will only fit one tho. We will meet at the trailhead...not the parking lot. My phone service is a hit or miss once I get out to that area.
0 · April 8, 2013
Someone asked me a good question: "where do you consider the trailhead? By the cars or the portas?" answer: by the official sign and portas. Please be patient as we may not be there exactly at 615...we will do our best. Slow hikers can plan to go to the first ledge. Fast hikers I will take you up to the third ledge and we will pick up everyone from the first ledge on the way down.

Ky. police chief fatally shot by man in back of patrol car
By Jeffrey McMurray
The Associated Press
Read Officer Down: Police Chief Randy Lacy

It was a practice that Chief Randy Lacy, 55, often used when arresting people he knew, said state police spokesman Phil Crumpton. The suspect, who had been stopped on suspicion of driving under the influence, had a long criminal history, records show.
It wasn't clear how the suspect accessed a gun. But Lacy kept an extra gun in his cruiser between the front seat and the console, said Greg Adams, a Powell County sheriff's deputy. Crumpton would not confirm that.
``Randy was a good officer,'' Adams said. ``He did trust people a little too much.''
A county judge-executive said earlier that Lacy was shot from the back seat of his cruiser, but authorities did not confirm that.

Lacy had been police chief of this town of 1,300 in the Appalachian foothills since 2004. He began serving in law enforcement in 1985.
``He was respected by all the police officers, and he was even loved by the people he was putting in jail,'' said the victim's brother Garland Lacy, a court bailiff and sheriff's chaplain.
Lacy would sometimes stop and buy suspects snacks or cigarettes before taking them to jail, Adams said.
He was the only law officer for the town, which was looking to fill two vacancies.
Barnett has a long criminal history, according to records from the Powell County Circuit Court Clerk's office.
He was charged with assaulting a police officer in 1994, according to the records. In April, he was charged with driving under the influence, leaving the scene of an accident and disorderly conduct, court records said. Records also show the April 9 drunken driving arrest was his second such offense.
Lacy's death upset people throughout the town, said Brenda Patrick, whose mother used to live next door to the chief.
``Everybody's shocked by it. The town sort of went wild today, I think,'' she said in a phone interview. ``It's like a blanket of sorrow spread over the neighborhood.''

New Music with Steve Cross
April 29, 2016 , 5:43 PM by Courtney Carthy | Comments (0)
Steve Cross presents, and programs, Beat Orgy on Triple R every Saturday night 6 - 8 PM. He joins us for new music each month.
1. Little Black Buzzer, by Yorkston/Thorne/Khan, album - Everything Sacred
Steve says, "Scottish folkie spontaneously collaborated with Suhail Yusuf Khan (sarangi player and classical singer from New Delhi) at a folk festival a couple of years back. Now they rope in a few friends and record an album under the title Everything Sacred. That's a song originally recorded by the rather eccentric English artist Ivor Cutler."
2. I.C.U., by Lou Doillon, album - Places
Steve says, "Daughter of Jane Birkin, half-sister of Charlotte, one step removed from Serge Gainsbourg album Places"
3. No Woman, by Whitney, album - Light Upon the Lake
Steve says, "A few years back I use to play a band called Smith Westerns on my show quite to the ire of a few people who viewed them as annoying proto-hipsters. Now the guitarist from that band Max Kakacek has seriously changed direction and formed Whitney with drummer/vocalist Julien Ehrlich (ex-Unknown Mortal Orchestra). Some listeners may hear the influence of The Band and some West Coast 70s acts in their sound, others may hear contemporarily acts like Bon Iver and Beirut. I saw them recently and they were mighty fine, Ehrlich follows in the tradition of Levon Helm and Don Henley in being a singing drummer. Album Light Upon the Lake due early June."
4. Akhar Zaman (This Moment), by Bombino, album - Azel
Steve says, "The Tuareg musician out of Niger. Twaregs: nomadic Berber herdsmen in the Sahara. Tuareg Rebellion in Niger and Mali first half of 90s in an endeavour to form a self-determined Tuarge state. Forced in to exile on at least two occasions to Algeria and Libya and Burkino Faso. Even attempts to ban guitars as they are seen as an instrument of rebellion. A regular visitor to Australia and back with a new album entitled Azel. Tinarewin"
5. Hallucinate a Solution, by Circles Around The Sun, album - Interludes For The Dead.
Steve says, "Neal Casal, perhaps best known for his work with Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, tied in to the Grateful Dead by working with bass player Phil Lesh. Recorded kinda beautiful jams that were broadcast at the Dead's farewell concerts last year. Now released under the title Interludes For The Dead."Read more

Compile C Faster on Linux
lcc is a small, fast C compiler now available on Linux. A perfectly good C compiler, gcc, comes with Linux. Why would anyone bother installing a second one? Because the two compilers make different tradeoffs, so they suit different stages of the development cycle. gcc has many targets and users, and it includes an ambitious optimizer. lcc is 75% smaller (more when counting source code), compiles more quickly, and helps prevent some porting bugs.
For those who have always wanted to customize or extend their compiler, our recent book, A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation, tours lcc's source code in detail and thus offers especially thorough documentation. Pointers to lcc's source code, executables, book, and authors appear at the end of this article.
lcc is fast. gcc implements a more ambitious global code optimizer, so it emits better code, particularly with full optimization options, but global optimization takes time and space. lcc implements a few low-cost, high-yield optimizations that collaborate to yield respectable code in a hurry.
For example, lcc compiles itself in 36 seconds on a 90 megahertz Pentium running Linux. gcc takes 68 seconds to compile the same program (the lcc source) with the default compiler options, and 130 seconds with the highest level of optimization. Code quality varied less. gcc's default code took 36 seconds to reprocess this input, just like lcc's code. gcc's best code (that is, with optimization level 3) runs in 30 seconds, about 20% faster. This is only a single data point, and both compilers evolve constantly, so your mileage may vary. Naturally, one can save time by using lcc for development and optimizing with gcc for the final release build.
Indeed, compiling code with two different compilers helps expose portability bugs. If a program is useful and if the source code is available, sooner or later someone will try to port it to another machine, or compile it with another compiler, or both. With a new machine or compiler, glitches are not uncommon. Which of the following solutions will net you less unwanted e-mail? For you to find and erase these blots while the code is fresh in your mind? Or for the porter to get diagnostics much later, about non-standard source code?
lcc follows the ANSI standard faithfully and implements no extension. Indeed, one option directs lcc to warn about a variety of C constructs that are valid but give undefined results, and thus can behave differently on a different machine or with a different compiler. Some programmers use lcc mainly for its strict-ANSI option, which helps them keep their code portable.
Like gcc, lcc can be configured as a cross-compiler that runs on one machine and compiles code for another. Cross-compilers can simplify life for programmers with multiple target platforms. lcc takes this notion a step further than most cross-compilers: we can, and typically do, link code generators for several machines into each version of the compiler.
For example, we maintain code generators for the MIPS, SPARC, and X86 architectures. We both work on and generate code for multiple platforms, so it's handy to be able to generate code for any target from any machine. We usually fold all three code generators into all compiler executables. A run-time option tells lcc which target to generate code for. If you don't maintain code for multiple targets, you're free to use an lcc that includes just one code generator, saving roughly 50KB for each code generator omitted.
lcc is small. lcc's Linux executable with one code generator is 232 KB, and its text segment is 192 KB. Both figures for the corresponding phase of gcc (cc1) exceed a megabyte. lcc's small size contributes to its speed, especially on modest systems. A compact program benefits those who wish to modify the compiler. Most developers will use pre-built executables for lcc; they will never examine or even recompile the source code. But the Linux community particularly prizes the availability of source code, partly because it allows users to customize their programs or adapt them for other purposes.
When configured with the Linux PC code generator lcc is 12,000 lines of C source code. gcc's root directory—without the target-specific description files—holds 240,000 lines. Surely, some of this material is not part of the compiler proper, but the separation is not immediately apparent to those who haven't browsed gcc's source recently. The machine-specific module is the part most often changed, because new target machines come along more often than, say, new source languages. The lcc target-specific module for the Linux PC is 1200 lines, and half of that repeats boilerplate declarations or supports the debugger, so the actual code generator is under 600 lines. The target-specific modules for gcc average about 3000 lines. These comparisons illustrate the fact that the two compilers embody different trade-offs and that neither beats the other at everything: gcc can emit better code and offers many options, while lcc is easier to comprehend but is otherwise less ambitious.
gcc and lcc use retargetable code generators driven in part by formal specifications of the target machine, just as a parser can be driven by a formal grammar of its input language. gcc's code generator is based in part on techniques that one of us (Fraser) originated in the late 1970's. lcc uses a different technique that is simpler but somewhat less flexible.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Fisher-Price toys, from online games to the famous Little People (not to mention classics like Power Wheels, View-Master, Rescue Heroes, the Chatter Telephone, and the Rock-a-Stack) can do a lot to boost your tot's IQ, as well as make playtime fun for the whole family. The company was founded in 1930 by Herman Fisher, Irving Price, Price's illustrator-artist wife Margaret Evans Price, and Helen Schelle. You may think that the precipice of the Great Depression was not the best time to turn toymaker, but you would be wrong: Fisher-Price's toys were bursting with such whimsy and magic that they were instant hits. Today, Fisher-Price is still headquartered in its original home in East Aurora, New York, where their often-emulated "Play Lab" is based – it was the first child research center of its kind in the toy industry, allowing researchers and toy designers to observe the way children play and how play benefits their development. Fisher Price is now owned by Mattel, and continues to make baby and preschool toys that stand the test of time – as well as participate in today's pop culture: other brands marketed under the Fisher-Price name include Disney, Sesame Street, Barney, Dora the Explorer, See 'n Say and Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

There are certain things you need to do to demonstrate respect for your country and those who risked their lives defending it.
It doesn't require much. Just stand still and shut up.
Thursday night, at Spencer's wrestling dual with Cherokee and Estherville-Lincoln Central, I watched with my blood pressure elevating as a group of junior high girls decided to turn the National Anthem into a comedy routine.
As Daly Tighe delivered a beautiful rendition of the song, most in the gym stood silently. Some proudly sang along, hand over their heart, as is an accepted tradition. Others stood quietly, moving their lips to the words, with their hands at their sides, showing the proper respect for the red white and blue.
Then there were the girls. One waving her arms, making boisterous gestures to entertain her friends, who laughed and joined in on the frivolity. Perhaps they weren't the only ones, but they were the only ones I saw.
This isn't an isolated incident. You see it in the student sections at football games and other sporting events as well.
The National Anthem is not a moment to entertain your friends. As a matter of fact it's just the opposite.
You remove your hat from your head and you stand quietly. Sing along respectfully if you choose. Don't insult the performer of this song by acting like a fool. Don't demonstrate such little respect for our veterans.
I get it. We're talking about kids and sometimes kids behave immaturely. Because they are. But I've tried to teach my children proper etiquette during such moments. My father and my wife's father have both served in the armed forces. Showing respect to the flag and honoring this country is something expected in our house.
I would encourage parents and grandparents to take a moment to explain the importance of this brief demonstration of respect. I'm sure the majority of the kids understand. For the most part, our young people are standing still and behaving appropriately. But for those who aren't, it presents a picture that fits the term "ugly Americans."

How can we specify p-type doping for a layer in 1-D herero tool?
thanks for using 1dhetero. Unfortunately, at the present time, it is not possible to specify the p-type doping in a simulation.
One suggestion:
Why dont you ask it as a wish so we will develop that feature in a next version of this tool?
I hope this helps,
