To get this JVM, go to this url IBM Software Downloads and choose option 3. You will have to register. You will then be sent to a page with a list of the available JVMs.
**** This is a little different ... you need to select whatever option is 2"WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment"
The select "Windows, Windows CE, Windows Pocket PC, Windows XP: WebSphere Everyplace Micro Environment"
THEN you register and ...****
Then scroll down until you find the option for "CLDC 1.1/MIDP 2.0 for Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition/ARM" and select the top "Download Now" link in that section to download all the files.
**** I grabbed the Linux .bin file and the pdf install file (read this) and then just copied whatever I need to up to my Q using bluetooth and konqueror ****
Once the files are downloaded, run the exe file to install it. Use the default install location. Mine was something like this "C:\Program Files\IBM\WEME\runtimes\61\wm50-sp-arm-midp20"
When this is installed, go into that location where you will find a zip file. Unzip the zip file to some other location on your PC. I used c:\ibm\J9. This contains the actual files you will copy across to your Q.
On your Q, go to the top level folder or root directory and create a directory called "J9" (without the quotes). Then create another folder called "MIDP20" under "J9". Copy the "bin", "lib" and "examples" folders from the extracted zip file into the new J9\MIDO20 folder. In the extracted folder there is also a "doc" folder which contains installations instructions in PDF format. Don't copy the doc folder across, the PDF is almost .5 MB and is not needed. Do read the PDF tho as it has info on how to install and run the GolfScoreTracker example.
Follow those examples and you will have a running Java app on your Q! Good luck.

Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
Application ID: 10653
The principle component of a quadrupole mass spectrometer is the mass filter which is used to filter ions with different charge to mass ratios. The quadrupole mass filter has been well studied over the years, Ref. 1 and the physics and optimal design are well understood. In a real quadrupole mass spectrometer, fringe fields exist at both the entrance and exit of the mass filter. These fringe fields can play an important role in determining the transmission probability of a specific ion through the mass filter. This model computes the ion trajectories in a quadrupole mass spectrometer, including the effects of fringe fields. This model uses the Electrostatics, Electric Currents, and Charged Particle Tracing interfaces.

Whoops, meant to add that I've looked at some on the members here who do these maps, but am unsure if they are all CC3 or have PS or GIMP touch up / reworks etc. Just trying to get a handle on what software does what that ya all are using thanks V
Can someone give me the fast and dirty on what CC3 (this is campaign cartographer correct) is or point me to a link here. does this do world level mapping or dungeon level mapping, both? Thanks V
Whoops, meant to add that I've looked at some on the members here who do these maps, but am unsure if they are all CC3 or have PS or GIMP touch up / reworks etc. Just trying to get a handle on what software does what that ya all are using thanks V
CC3 stands for Campaign cartographer 3 and is a mapping program from profantasy.com (head over to their site and have a look). There are numerous programs in the CC3 family. First yo uhave to buy CC3, that let you create overland maps. You can then buy the addons like City Designer 3 (CD3) that let you make city maps, Dungeon Designer 3 (DD3) that let you create dungeon and floor pan maps etc. The program itself is based on the fastcad program and mainly works with vector graphics. It is a neat little program I must say, even though I like to do some touch up of my CC3 maps in photoshop.
My finished maps
Mapping Worlds (My blog about mapping)
Imaginary maps (My facbook page devoted to mapping)
Thank Clercon, added alittle rep for the info thanks
i am sorry to be both pedantic and to seem to try and control you.
"what is cc3?" conveys the same information in three words instead of the four of "cc3 what is it?"
it also sounds less like some newscaster on the television trying to hype something to catch your attention.
it's obviously my problem, not yours.. it's also a relatively new thing. two or three years ago, people used conventional sentence structure instead of placing the subject first and using an article to refer to it in its place. now, most of the forums i see are full of topics titled thusly, and it makes me wonder... trends... who joins them? sentences... who can read a whole one?
honk if you like capital letters :p
really i hope that if enough people post and protest this movement, we can save many gigabytes of forum storage space from shortened text strings.
@xoxos: you wrote 138 words to criticize @Vellum for using two more letters than were minimally necessary?
To add Clercom responce to the OP. CC3 is the base program of ProFantasy. It is by itself very complete and have a lot of add ons and extra styles and tools to buyand enhance the experience. I also recomend Fractal Terrains 3 from ProFantasy. It is a very powerfull terrain / world generator. The basic functinos are very easy but if you want a lot of control in the result you will have to spend a lot of time learning it.
Here is ProFantasy forum: http://forum.profantasy.com/
Here their home page: http://www.profantasy.com/
I dont hang up on this kind of things, considering my own english skills beyond the basementfloor....
Oh, and the forum storage space is not likely to be threatened by a few extra characters, words, or even paragraphs and pages upon pages of text. If it is then the site has issues greater than just its users verbosity.
sense, it makes it.


text: I was just curious if any of you guys have used mountain bikes to get back to your starting points? There are alot of logging roads where I hunt that I would like to access but most are locked up.(no motorized vehicles) I have hunted alot of the area for years and have always walked in. I just thought it would be cool to be able to cover a few miles quickly on the bike and walk in from there. It seems that when I walk in I always run into guy even a couple miles back. I just thought this would be an easier way to get to a starting point way back in. Let me know what you think.

We are a small tech sales firm in Germany. I guess that we have a similar set-up to many as follows:
* Use ISP with 6 (used) mailboxes
* Local VPOP3 mail server that stores local email
* The Bat! email clients on three lap-tops and two fixed computers (trying The Bat and it is really great and powerful)
* Retrieve emails when travelling from ISP using The Bat
* Dynamic DSL connection
* Have a Joomla based web site at same ISP
We need to add calenders and mobile connectivity. The set-up we have is pretty cool, but is clearly not enough for the future. We are looking at getting some Symbian based smart-phones and would like to be able to get email and share calenders on these with a new server as well as on our lap-tops. We only need to use the smart-phones for email etc. about 10 days a month as we are in the office for the rest of the time.
Ideally we do not really want to use a new ISP with paid Zimbra monthly accounts, but would like to keep the server in-house and under our control.
We would also like to have our local server do all the anti-virus and spam-cheking on mails before they get pushed to the smart-phones to save traffic costs...
What would be the best solution for us? We can probably set up a server ourselves or get a savy IT professional neighbour to help us out from time to time. What effect might the DynDSL account have (no fixed IP address).
Looking forward to hearing some suggestions as we need to move forward and become better at what we do...
Many thanks.. Thomas Dahl

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Swix certainly sells more expensive waxes, but for most conditions, some LF6-LF8 will do wonders and is a nice boost from CH wax. The waxes can be crayoned on and don't end up costing too much more than a normal hydrocarbon. In cold a little LF4 goes a long ways is likely faster than HF4.

The World's End SynopsisDirector Edgar Wright and actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost reunite for a third film following the successes Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007). In The Worlds End, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again.

As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankinds. Reaching The Worlds End is the least of their worries.

Simon Pegg Really Wants To Make A Sequel To This Movie
Edgar Wright planned The Worlds End to be the conclusion of his Cornetto Trilogy with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, so continuing this story wasnt in the cards. Pegg, meanwhile, is crazy busy with Star Trek Beyond, which hes co-writing and co-starring in. Could it happen eventually? Of course, but it seems like wishful thinking at the moment.

The 10 Best Movie Music Moments Of 2013
Last year was a pretty fantastic one for movie music. Directors like David O. Russell, Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino and Ben Affleck made not only fantastic films, but also beautifully crafted soundtracks that blended perfectly with the story and visuals on screen. As a result, 2013 had a lot to live up to, but looking back on the last twelve months reveals that this years crop of filmmakers were more than up for the task.

It's a thought that somebody at Marvel must have at least considered in the last seven years, but Pegg has shut the discussion down by explaining why it would be a bad idea.

The three of them have worked together since the late-90s cult sitcom Spaced, and together have created a remarkable comedic trilogy about growing up

For me the answer is simple: David Mitchell and Robert Webb, the stars of the outstandingly funny sitcom Peep Show. On the surface this show actually has a lot in common with Spaced.

The world's ending, let's go to a pub! If you think that sounds a bit like Shaun of the Dead, you're not entirely off track. The World's End comes from Shaun of the Dead writer/director Edgar Wright. As the trailer indicates, the story starts out looking like a road-trip/Hangover-style story about a bunch of old friends getting together for a good old-fashioned pub-crawl. And then things go all Doctor Who, as they discover that the town has been taking over by robots.

There is no magical solution.
How are your lessons structured? Give yourself some aims. Maybe try RGT or Rockschool. I follow the RGT syllabus. Its not for everyone but it keeps me focused and I know that I am picking up all the fundemental theory knowledge and guitar skills that are going to be useful for the future.
Some people want to just learn famous songs. That's great too if it keeps you interested. If you're going to do this try to keep it real and learn songs within your skill set. Although that said if you find songs that you like are too difficult now, don't loose heart. Come back to them later and keep trying. As your muscle memory gets better and your overall knowledge gets better, you'll find that you can come back to these songs you thought difficult and you WILL eventually crack them!
Learn some scales and then improvise against some backing tracks on youtube. Knocking out a solo will do wonders for your confidence and keep you interested.
Also you've got to get out of your comfort zone and keeping striving for new techniques/styles etc. I taught myself fingerstyle/travis picking. I'm not great but you would be amazed how much of a difference it can make to plain old open chords rather than just strumming.
Don't blame you're teacher. They are there to help you. Only you can make the real difference.
Lastly. Its been said hundred's of times already but there is a good reason for that. It 's sound advice!
Practise, practise and more practise. Try to play everyday if possible. If you feel guilty for not getting enough pracise then that's a good thing.
Oh and enjoy!

President Obama dropped $90 mil on a couple of local non-profit development companies. Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC) and the Uptown Consortium were awarded $50 million and $40 million tax credits, respectively, by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as part of a program aimed at spurring retail and residential growth. 3CDC says it plans to create a rock climbing wall/juice bar/light-free techno dance hall in order to draw more YPs to the area.

The New York Police Department is defending its recent practice of spying on mosques using tactics it normally reserves for criminal organizations. The AP got a hold of documents that showed police "collecting the license plates of worshipers, monitoring them on surveillance cameras and cataloging sermons through a network of informants."
The new documents, prepared for Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, show how the NYPD's roster of paid informants monitored conversations and sermons inside mosques. The records offer the first glimpse of what those informants, known informally as "mosque crawlers," gleaned from inside the houses of worship.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says his police would never spy on Muslims.

If you're one of those people who enjoys relaxing in a public park, maybe eating a sandwich and enjoying the lush greenspace Cincinnati has grown proud of, that's all well and good. (Bring a blanket and some apples; enjoy yourself.) That is, until you get a little sleepy and want to lie down on the ground or a bench — that's illegal now.
The Cincinnati Park Board yesterday approved a no-lying down rule across all of its 5,000 acres of park land, likely in response to ongoing Occupy Cincinnati lawsuits over the legality of closing the park at night. People who lie down in parks are now subject to $150 fines for the misdemeanor offense.
Occupy D.C. protesters built some type of structure in a park Saturday night, and police on Sunday notified them that they didn't have a permit and took it down, arresting dozens in the process. It was a pretty nice structure, though.
More details are coming out about Chris Monzel and Todd Portune working a behind-the-scenes deal to sell Drake Hospital for way less than it was worth in order to save rich people money on their property taxes for one year. Critics have called it a "fire sale" and questioned the legality of selling a public asset without competitive bidding, outside studies or input from county lawyers. From The Enquirer:
"The 2-1 vote ends 87 years of county ownership of the Hartwell rehabilitation hospital. UC Health will buy it for $15 million – a price negotiated in secret by one commissioner and approved with no outside studies, no input from county lawyers or the county administration, and little public discussion.
The money from the sale will bail out the stadium fund for one year, avoiding a $14.2 million deficit for next year. It also allows the county to restore a property tax rollback promised to voters in 1996 when they approved a new sales to build and maintain the stadiums – a rollback largely scrapped this year to pay for the stadiums."
Cincinnati City Council today will lose its longtime excuse that there are too many old conservatives involved to get anything done, as three of its new members are young, optimistic and representative of the community who aren't old guys or mean rich ladies. The Enquirer discusses Council's influx of YP energy here, including a nice photo of Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and P.G. Sittenfeld with the caption: "Before..." that seems rather ominous.

A new study has found high levels of arsenic in fruit juices that millions of kids are drinking because there's pictures of actual food on the label. Too bad government regulation is just a big waste of money that hurts the economy.
A full 10 percent of the juices tested by the magazine had arsenic levels higher than what is allowed in water by the Food and Drug Administration.
"What we're talking about here is not acute affects," Urvashi Rangan, director of safety and sustainability at Consumer Reports, told TODAY. "We're talking about chronic effects. We're talking about cancer risk. And so, the fact that 10 percent of our samples exceeded the drinking water standard underscores the need for a standard to be set in juices."
Consumer Reports tested 88 samples of apple and grape juices sold around the country. Included among those tested were popular juices like Minute Maid, Welch's and Tropicana.
Headline: "Stadium tax rebate favors wealthy." Analysis: "No shit." Owners of the county's most-expensive homes reportedly receive more savings from the property tax rollback than they pay in the sales tax increase that was supposed to pay for the sports stadiums. An Enquirer analysis of last year's property tax payout found that the half-cent sales tax increase amounts to a maximum of $192 annually, while some high-value homeowners received tax rebates of $1,175 or more.
• Million-dollar homes account for less than 1 percent of households, yet they received nearly 5 percent of the total rebates — or one out of every $20 paid out.
• One out of four homeowners - those with a home worth $200,000 or more - got $8.8 million in rebates - more than half the total rollback.
• The median Hamilton County homeowner with a property worth $106,700 is eligible to get a $50.15 rebate under the rollback.
• The 132 Hamilton County homeowners with houses worth $2.5 million or more get at least $1,175 apiece.
• Property owners with homes worth $150,000 or less account for nearly six out of 10 households, but collectively they received less than 23 percent of the benefits.
County commissioners have four days to tell the auditor to go ahead and tax homeowners at the previous rate, but Chris Monzel and Todd Portune are up for reelection this year and won't dare change take it away from the powerful rich people.
[Correction: Monzel is not up for reelection.]
Said former commissioner David Pepper:"At its core, the property tax rollback creates a reverse-Robin Hood scheme, where middle-class homeowners and renters are not only the ones paying for the stadium, but also footing the bill for a tax break for high-value property owners. Those high-end property owners are not paying for the stadium at all."
Some Ohio anti-abortion groups apparently didn't learn their lesson from Gov. John Kasich's SB 5 failure, as at least one has broken away from Ohio Right to Life for refusing to endorse HB 125, the "heartbeat bill." Ohio Right to Life believes HB 125 won't withstand a challenge under Roe v. Wade, but Warren County Right to Life wants to spend a lot of time and resources pursuing it anyway. Ohio Right to Life says a successful legal challenge could strengthen the women's choice side, but other groups are expected to join Warren County Right to Life anyway.
Guess there's a reason why Congress doesn't care much for the 99-percent movement: Eleven percent of Congress is part of the 1 percent. Fifty-eight members of Congress have $9 million or more in net worth, including Kentucky's own Mitch McConnell and John Yarmuth. Congress also includes 250 millionaires, so maybe they'll listen.
Occupy Wall Street celebrated its two-month mark by organizing a "day of action," beginning with a march to the New York Stock Exchange.

Dublin, OH (Sports Network) - Bill Haas carded a 5-under 67 on Friday to grab
a 3-stroke lead at the Memorial Tournament before play was suspended for
The second round was briefly suspended for 22 minutes early in the second
round due to the threat of a thunderstorm, and then later delayed for nearly
an hour and a half for rain before the horn sounded for a third time to halt
play for good.
Haas finished 36 holes at Muirfield Village Golf Club at 9-under-par 135.
"I'm very happy to shoot two good scores here," said Haas, who shot 68 on
Thursday. "Those are probably my two best rounds here ever, so to do them
back-to-back in very tough conditions I'm very pleased."
Matt Kuchar also finished his round and posted a 2-under 70 to sit in second
place at minus-6.
He is joined there by Bubba Watson, Kyle Stanley and first-round leader Charl

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - In a game that had just about everything a softball game could, and then some things you would never dream of, St. Clairsville outscored Union Local 13-12 on Lady Red Devils Field on Friday afternoon.
The two Buckeye 8 rivals evenly divided 30 hits, which included five home runs - four over the fence and one inside-the-park. The telling stat was the Jets (3-4) committed four errors to just one for the Red Devils (2-2).
"It was definitely a battle of the bats," St. Clairsville coach Rachel Duncan said. "I'm proud of the way my girls battled, especially on offense because we battled back every inning.
"(Union Local) hit the ball really hard, but we came right back and hit it even harder."
Deadlocked at 11-11 in the bottom of the sixth, Bri Hummel lined a leadoff single up the middle and one out later, Lauren Figura walked. Krista Morrison ripped a single through the hole at short that scored Hummel, and after both runners moved up a base on the throw to the plate. Alicia Avila lofted a sacrifice fly to left-center that chased home Figura with what proved to be the game-winner.
Union Local didn't roll over as Ali Bethel, the No. 9 hitter, drew a leadoff walk from reliever Michaela Miller to start the seventh. Olivia Minamyer also drew a walk before the first out was recorded, and Shayna McGary lined a single back through the box to score Bethel and Brittany Stack reached on an infield single to load the bases.
Miller, however, got out of the jam by inducing a comebacker that turned into a game-ending 1-2-3 double play.
"Twelve runs should definitely win a ballgame," Union Local coach Roger Herbert said. "We had been struggling at the plate, but we hit the cover off the ball. Give (St. Clairsville) credit because they hit the ball hard, as well."
Union Local struck for three runs in the first inning as Ali Delaney singled in two.
St. Clairsville evened things in the second when Figura launched a solo homer to deep right-center leading off. Morrison followed with a double to the fence in left-center. Summer Gallentine singled in Morrison and Miller chased home Gallentine with a base rap.
The Jets responded with a three-spot in the third when Stack slugged a leadoff double to the fence in left-center that chased Figura from the circle. Delaney took the second pitch she saw deep to right-center for a two-run homer. One out later, Kaylie Cole slugged a solo shot over the fence in right-center.
St. Clairsville took the lead in the fourth when it scored four times. Gallentine reached on a one-out error and Brianna Sowers singled to left. The throw to third skipped away and went out of play, allowing Gallentine to score. Sowers took second on the throw. Miller singled to end Bethel's outing on the mound as Minamyer came on. She struck out the first batter she faced, but then walked Hummel to load the bases.
Jolyn Shunk's fly ball to deep center resulted in a bases-clearing triple. She was nailed at the plate on a fine relay throw,
but the hosts led, 7-6.
A four-run fifth made it 11-6 in favor of the Red Devils as they played a little long ball in taking the advantage. Figura and Morrison led off with back-to-back singles, and moved up a bases when Morrison's hit was kicked around in the outfield. Avila then launched a fly ball to right-center that saw the two Union Local outfielders collide as the ball rolled away. Figura and Morrison scored easily, but Avila hustled all the way for an inside-the-park homer .
On the very next offering, Gallentine smacked a shot over the fence in left that hit off the top of a car.

Cy's House of Trivia Shatters Attendance Records
AMES, Iowa - The fifth installment of Cy's House of Trivia produced record numbers yet again, as the annual fan-friendly event took place over the weekend in Hilton Coliseum.
From its humble beginnings in 2007 when 28 teams signed up, the Cyclone social event of the year shattered attendance marks with 88 teams (tables) occupying virtually every open spot on the Hilton Coliseum floor.
The format remained the same. Tables of eight players answered eight rounds of questions - 10 questions in each round - to see who could get the most answers correct. This year's categories included: "Big 80s", "B Movies", "One-Hit Wonders", "Corporate Logos", "Who's That Girl", "Tis The Season", "That's So Easy, Or Is It?" and "8th Grade History."
Iowa State celebrities rotated among the tables to help participants answer questions. Iowa State athletics director Jamie Pollard, Iowa State men's basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads, Tom Randall, Bret Meyer, Lyndsey (Medders) Fennelly, Mike O'Connell, Kelsey Bolte, Austen Arnaud and Alexander Robinson were among this year's celebrities.
For the third year in a row, WHO-TV personalities Keith Murphy and Andy Fales emceed the event. Murphy and Fales co-host the award-winning Sports SoundOff show Sunday nights on WHO and have their own daily radio show (Murph and Andy) on 1460 KXNO.
The top-six finishers were awarded prizes which included a free table for next year, 2011 football tailgate tent and men's and women's basketball tickets and pre-game parties. All proceeds of the event went to the Cyclone Club.

(Sports Network) - The St. Louis Blues look to hand the Chicago Blackhawks their first regulation loss of the season when the teams meet at the Scottrade Center Thursday night. The Blues have won five of their past seven at home versus the Blackhawks and are expected to start Jaroslav Halak on Thursday. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA at home in his career versus Chicago.
St. Louis has been off since Saturday, but lost another player to injury during its break as Andy McDonald suffered a left knee injury in practice on Tuesday and landed on injured reserve the following day. In 18 games this season, he has registered three goals and eight assists.
Alex Steen, who leads the club with 16 points, was also shaken up in Tuesday's practice and did not practice on Wednesday, but has not been ruled out for this game.
Those injuries come after St. Louis placed rookie Vladimir Tarasenko on IR due to a concussion suffered in last Wednesday's 1-0 overtime setback to Colorado. The Blues were without the talented youngster for their most recent game, but still managed a 2-1 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Chris Stewart and David Perron had the goals, while Halak came up with 18 saves as the Blues snapped a two-game slide and moved to 4-1-1 in their last six.
"Guys did a hell of a job tonight, especially in the second and third just blocking the shots," Halak said. "Sometimes it's not easy, it wasn't pretty at times, but we got it done. We got two points and now lets keep moving forward."
St. Louis also snapped a five-game slide at home and did not allow a power- play goal for a third straight game. It has killed off all nine penalties in that span.
Following a rare come-from-behind victory earlier this week, the Chicago Blackhawks aim to extend their NHL record point streak on Thursday evening in a road matchup with the rival St. Louis Blues.
The Blackhawks found themselves in a rare position on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers: trailing going into the third period. It marked only the third time this season that Chicago was behind after 40 minutes, but Viktor Stalberg scored a tying goal just 2:24 into the third period and Marian Hossa capped the comeback with the winner 1:44 into overtime in a 3-2 decision.
Patrick Kane also scored for the Blackhawks, who extended their record season- opening point streak to 19 games at 16-0-3. They also improved to 2-0-1 this season when trailing after two periods and 10-0-3 in one-goal games. Each of Chicago's last five games have been decided by the slim margin.
"The biggest thing is that we don't want to lose right now," Kane said. "We want to keep this thing going. I'm telling you, after the second period guys weren't very happy that we were down a goal and we knew we wanted to come back and change that right away."
Ray Emery made 17 saves in Chicago's sixth straight victory, which came in the finale of a seven-game homestand. The Blackhawks moved to 8-0-1 as the hosting club this season.
Chicago center Dave Bolland missed his second straight game with an upper- body injury and isn't expected to play in this game, while Corey Crawford is set to make his second start since his return from injury. The 'Hawks netminder is 7-1-1 with a 2.79 goals against average in his career versus the Blues.
Crawford made 32 saves in a 3-2 home win over the Blues on Jan. 22, the Blackhawks' third in a row in this series and seventh in the past nine meetings. All three games of the current series win streak have been decided by one goal as well.
St. Louis has really been inconsistent this season and not much has changed lately. They're up and then they're down and even after snapping their two game losing streak with a win against the Columbus Blue Jackets they still left a lot to be desired. Chris Stewart gave St. Louis a 1-0 lead in the first period but the Blues failed to grow their advantage the rest of the way. It ended up costing them as the Blue Jackets would knot things up with a goal late in the second period. In the third period St. Louis registered just three total shots on goal, but one of them found the back of the net as the eventual game winner. David Perron scored his sixth goal of the season as the Blues held on for the ugly victory. Jaroslav Halak was back between the pipes for the second time since returning from injury and he looked great again. Halak made 19 saves on 20 shots for the second consecutive game as he improved his record to 4-0-1 on the year. The Blackhawks have still yet to lose in regulation this season as they've posted an incredible 16-0-3 record this season, but things haven't come so easily lately for them. Their last five victories have all been by one goal and that Monday night's overtime win against the Edmonton Oilers. After allowing a shorthanded goal it was Patrick Kane tying things up on the power play with his 10th goal of the season. The Oilers would score the only goal in the second period and faced a one goal deficit heading into the third. Viktor Stalberg would tie things up with his fifth goal of the year early in the frame and in overtime it was Marian Hossa banging in a rebound to win it for the Hawks. The goal was Hossa's ninth of the season. Ray Emery got the start in goal after Corey Crawford returned from injury on Sunday and he made 17 saves on 19 shots to pick up the win. Expect Crawford to return between the pipes for this one on Thursday night.
Chicago is 5-1 the last six meetings between these two teams but just 2-5 their last seven visits to St. Louis. The home team is 16-5 the last 21. The Over is 5-2 the last seven in St. Louis. The Blues have been wildly inconsistent and with the way the Blackhawks have played defense this year and the goaltending they've gotten it's hard to imagine St. Louis scoring much in this one. Chicago looks like they're coming to the end of this streak soon, I'm just not sure if this is night.

CAPE ST. CLAIRE, Md. (WUSA9) -- After a call about a suspicious vehicle, police say they found a driver with a butterfly knife on his lap and later recovered 5 other weapons, along with synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
According to Anne Arundel County Police, Tuesday at approximately 7 a.m. a School Resource Officer at Broadneck High School checked the area of Southview Drive and Chestnut Tree Drive as students were arriving at school. As he got there, someone called police to report a suspicious vehicle in the area.
The officer found the vehicle, say police, and as he talked to the driver he noticed a "butterfly knife" on the driver's lap. According to police, the officer grabbed the unopened knife and removed the driver from the car.
The officer then found "a glass smoking device commonly used to consume illegal drugs" on the driver's seat, say police. More officers arrived to help, say police, and they then noticed the handle of another knife in the back seat floorboard area. It was a fixed-blade knife was approximately 14 inches long, say police.
Two female passengers were also taken out of the vehicle, say police. Then, officers found more drug paraphernalia and several other edged weapons, including a black t-handle knife, a black-handled curved boot knife, and a hatchet-style knife with a multi-colored handle, say police.
In total, police say they found and seized:
Police have charged a 23-year-old man and two 15-year-old girls.
Police say David Jordan Mahanes of Arnold is charged with unlawfully wearing/carrying a dangerous weapon and illegal possession of drug paraphernalia. The teens are have juvenile citations with charges for unlawfully wearing/carrying a dangerous weapon and illegal possession of drug paraphernalia.
Anne Arundel County police say they have stepped up patrol in the area. due to some concerns about disorderly conduct, fights, and criminal behaviors in the area known as "The Pit." The Pit is near the high school where students often gather before and after school, say police. Police also say officials at Broadneck High School reassigned more staff members to the back driveway and parking lot, and have addressed the students about behavioral expectations in the community.
Police encourage people who see suspicious or illegal behaviors in the area to call them/

I have more ideas for neat projects than I have time or energy to do them. Want to help?
This has its own page now. It's done. It works. Yay!
Why doesn't my browser make a portal page for me? It knows which URLs I keep visiting. I'd still want something organized decently, and I don't expect a program to manage that tricky task, but it could handle a "things not already on this page that should be" section.
Update: It turned out to be really easy to make a page links to the pages I visit most often, so I now have one that updates itself every night. The problem is that it's hard to use and contains some crap I've never heard of. To be useful, it needs to be filtered, organized, and presented well. I haven't done this yet.
Using cookies, a web site could have a personalized What's New list that told you exactly which pages had changed since the last time you looked at them. With version control, it could even tell how much each page had changed and report that or report the changes themselves. Using inline images or a server hack to get realtime access statistics, the service could be provided entirely by a third party. A server doing this should give users an option to disable data collection for them.
A note for the uninitiated: as with all site-specific user data, it could be stored in cookies on the browser, or it could be stored on the server, using cookies only for a user id. The decision affects system complexity, server load, bandwidth use, and load balancing options.
Another way to do it, without requiring site support, is to have your browser do the whole thing using its history database and an RDF site map (or some spidering and HEAD requests, for sites that don't supply RDF maps). The RDF map is unlikely to contain enough information to tell you how much each page has changed, but it could tell you when they've changed. I've heard good things about Mozilla's RDF support. They'll probably have something like this.
I'd like a map for site maintainers that shows how people actually use the site. I just want an xspringies view of a site in which each the strength of each spring depends on the traffic the link gets. Xspringies is an old unix program that animates in 2-d a bunch of masses connected to each other by springs. It's lots of fun. The edges strengths could be shown with bolder/brighter/thicker lines. It'd be an interesting and maybe even educational way to view your site. I took a quick look at a few professional log analysis tools, and the best they do is give you list of internal links with usage statistics, in a big text list or bar chart. Not very easy to absorb.
I'm not much of a graphics programmer, so I probably won't attempt this unless I can find a visualization package to which I can just pass the configuration data.
I like when my favorite bands come to town, but I often don't find out in time. There are too many lists to check, and checking each one periodically is too much work. There are centralized event listings, but they rely on people to enter info manually, and that just doesn't happen reliably.
I need something that continuously spiders the web and populates a concert listing database with info posted on fan, artist, and venue sites.
This will involve determining that a page has relevant info, and inducing extraction patterns.
Text dissociators analyze a bunch of text, and then produce text that's sort of similar, but all mixed up. All cases I know of use Markov chains of either letters or words. That means they notice the frequency of letter pairs or word pairs in the source text, then produce something where each word (or letter) is followed by a random word (or letter), with probabilities based on the observed frequencies. (Doing it by pairs is using a Markov chain of length one. You can use longer chains (triplets, etc) to get more similarity at the cost of exponentially increasing memory usage.)
Those dissociators are lots of fun, but the sentences they produce don't follow the same grammar as the source text. You get sentences of the form noun-verb-noun-verb-noun-verb-noun. There are random text generators that do produce more normal sentences, but these all have a grammar coded in by a programmer.
There has been research done into inducing grammars from text. I haven't read the publications, but it sounds like fun. If it works decently, it should be easy to go from that to a grammatical dissociator.
I actually did most of the work on this way back in 1998, but never cleaned up it and turned it into a functioning package. I made a simple Bayesian classifier, but the data I collected could be used to train other kinds of classifiers. As always, the real magic is in selecting features.
There are address-based detectors out there, but this would be more fun and wouldn't require as much maintenance. Mine is mostly done. I really should finish it.
Netsam is the crap that floats around on the net. That can include jokes, virus warnings, calls for political action on some bogus cause, etc.
While it'd be neat to somehow detect these things by the form they tend to take, I'd be happy if I had something that just determined whether something was similar enough to anything in a set of known netritus, like CIAC lists of hoaxes and chain letters.
Given some context and a set of quotes, select a quote that might be somehow appropriate. This is for frivolous things like email signatures, so my accuracy requirements are low.
My designer friends tell me that site authors should have complete control over the web browsing experience because they're better at it than users are. Some are, but some of them suck. Sometimes the choice of text color is so bad that the text is unreadable on the background. Sometimes the vlink color is the same as the link color. Sometimes the links aren't linky enough. These problems could be detected and fixed automatically by my browser (or by a proxy, since that's easier to hack).
I'd have to try it to be sure, but I think I could train a computer to crop photos to improve balance and composition for a majority of portrait and landscape shots. If it works, it could be implemented on a digital camera to have it suggest framing, though with a digital camera, there may not be much advantage to doing it at shoot time.
I want to be able to select an arbitrary region and randomly scramble the positions of the contained pixels. So if I apply this to a square that's blue on one side and red on the other, I should get a square containing a random but equal distribution of red and blue pixels. Being able to sort would be nice too.
I wanted to use this to set the color balance of a textured region. "Oh, this much red, this much blue, this much green. Now blend it all." So I guess it'd be neat to also be able to scramble the three hues (RGB) independently, though with enough resolution that's not important.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Short-Finger Cycling Gloves in stock than that.View Similar Products
Louis Garneau 0 Calory Women's Gloves $0.00
The last thing that you need while riding in warm weather are gloves that become a nuisance to you. We've all experienced this before -- bulky fabrics and overstuffed palms that make us feel like we're wearing weightlifting gloves instead of something designed for cycling. Well, Louis Garneau had balmy-weather riding in mind when designing its new 0 Calory Women's Gloves, as they're exceptionally lightweight, thin, and won't ever weigh you down.
Garneau accomplished this lightweight construction by applying ultra-thin, breathable panels of Lycra to the backs of the palms. This material allows your hands to breathe, and it also pulls moisture away from your skin in order to keep you dry and comfortable. For the palms themselves, Garneau wrapped 10mm-thick panels of foam padding with its durable Amara covering. In addition to being flexible and grippy, Amara also breathes through its perforated composition. This makeup provides your hands with just the right amount of lightweight cushion, grip, and support.
Louis Garneua finished off the 0 Calory gloves with microfiber panels on the thumbs and pull loops at the fingers, which aid in removing the gloves at the end of your rides.
The Louis Garneau 0 Calory Women's Gloves are available in the sizes Small, Medium, and Large and in the colors Black, Flash Blue, Pure Purple, and Rose Drummond.

Good Summer Weight Glove
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: Runs small
As the previous review mentioned, these run small. I ordered a M, when I normally would have ordered a S. Even the M is a little tight, but luckily the light-weight material is breathable. The padding is in all the right places and even though I was skeptical of the ribbons to pull the glove off, they are awesome. Overall, this glove is the right price for what you get.

Love the color, but what I love the most are the little ribbons to pull the glove out! It makes it so easy.
0 Problem
I read all the reviews for some of the other Louis Garneau Gloves AFTER I had ordered a couple of pairs.
So was not surprised when they arrived and were too small.
But the 0 Calory fit really well.
I would advise ordering your true size in this style.

After a unanimous vote, some Sneads Ferry property owners in Onslow County can finally start plans for their RV Park, but residents in nearby neighborhoods aren't happy.
Tuesday night the zoning board of adjustment held a meeting in Jacksonville to hear both sides of the argument. The property owners say their land meets all regulations and requirements, but neighbors are worried that an RV park being close by could ruin the values of their homes.
"I built my house ten years ago. I want to protect the value of my house, as do all the other citizens that we had sign the petition there. So we feel that this is not going to be conducive to us being able to sell our house in the future.," said resident John Meeting.
The board voted 5 to 0 in favor of the park. The adjacent homeowners still have the option of appealing to Onslow County Superior Court.
Two neighborhoods in Sneads Ferry are coming together after learning the view from their backyards could be that of an RV park.
Neighbors say a local family that owns undeveloped land off Bill Canady road in Sneads Ferry, wants to get a special permit to put an RV park on the eleven acres of land.
Residents of Escoba Bay and Canady Landing would be affected if the permit is granted. They fear their property values would be adversely affected.
The county says the proposed park must not substantially injure the property value of those nearby or endanger the public's health or safety.
Despite those requirements, neighbors are still worried.
We reached out to the property owners who have requested the
permit, however they did not return our emails or calls.
