Wind Through the Keyhold, by Stephen King
Book Review by Joshua Palmatier
Have you read this book?
Ooo, cool, another Dark Tower novel. I can't say I loved ALL of the Dark Tower series (the first couple of books were a little rough . . . but then the first book was really a bunch of short stories pieced together), but King certainly got it together for pretty much the rest of it, whether you liked or hated the ending of volume seven. So hearing there was another story set in that universe was great. And this novel (really two novelettes nested together) will certainly help feed that craving that Dark Tower fans now have for MORE.
The basic idea is that Roland and crew get trapped by a storm called a starkblast and the storm reminds Roland of a story his mother told him when he was young, as well as one of his first "jobs" as gunslinger. To pass the time, he tells his ka-tet both stories, starting with his own story, which segues into his younger self telling the OTHER story to a young boy. Both stories involve storms, young boys learning to be men, and skin-men, tying them neatly together.
The most significant story--meaning the one with the most meat--is the story Roland's mother told him when he was young, called The Wind Through the Keyhole. It's about Tim, his mother, and his stepfather, and while it has the feel of a fairy tale in some parts, as you read it that facade falls away and you end up living Tim's story with him. It has all the hallmarks of a Dark Tower story--a slightly skewed "old style" setting mixed in with hints of a technological world that has somehow gone awry and faded into the past.I really loved this story, and it's certainly the heart of the book.
The story that bookends this one--with young Roland on one of his first missions--is also excellent, although as I said, it doesn't have as much meat to it as the other. Not because it wasn't developed enough, but because it's just a simpler story. Young Roland is sent to resolve the rumors of a skin-man threatening a small town. This section of the book has the most Western feel to it, dry like desert, hot, with ranches, a mine, and the makings of a ghost town as the setting. And yet there are still hints of that lost technological world.
The final bookend--of Roland and crew weathering a storm--doesn't have its own internal story and is there simply to place what's here into the larger Dark Tower series. As stated in the intro to the novel, this could be considered Dark Tower 4.5 in the series/timeline.
So, definitely a great Stephen King novel, full of everything fans expect of King AND of the Dark Tower series. It was great to return to this world and these characters, and I hope that King does future stories in this world as they pop up. No one ever really wants to leave a series behind, and it was nice to sit back and revisit old friends.

Malcolm Gladwell And Mark Wahlberg Team Up For HBO Drama
Holy crap, Mark Wahlberg is all over HBO. The man has his hands in four current shows on the channel: Entourage (based on his life), How To Make It In America, In Treatment, and Boardwalk Empire. Boardwalk was the biggest surprise for me because apparently I don't watch the show and his name comes up at the end. Guess I should start watching it. Not that I'll watch everything of Marky Mark's. Nothing will get me to watch Entourage. Not even Sasha Grey and I've seen like a million other things… she's been… in. I should probably stop talking about that.
Anyway, Mark Wahlberg is teaming up with Malcolm Gladwell to bring a CIA drama to HBO. The show will take place in Cold War Berlin and follows a missionary who becomes wrapped up with the CIA. Other key players in the project are Charles Randolph (who wrote The Interpreter) and Stephen Levinson (a producing partner of Wahlberg's). Randolph will write the script though Gladwell will contribute as they are friends (awww).
How Malcolm Gladwell will fair is still up in the air. He's a great writer. If he does present some semi-common knowledge ideas, at least he writes them in an entertaining way. How many seasons does it take to accumulate 10,000 hours of practice for a television show? Perhaps this show will reach a core group of people who will spread the word and it will reach a tipping point! Did Mark Wahlberg instantly recognize the potential of this show and jump on board? Another snarky reference to one of his books.

"I have been listening to you on EWTN for about a year now. I left the Catholic Church 42 years ago. After many struggles during this last year, I finally went to confession on Sunday. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am to be home. Thank you so much for helping me on my journey home."

"Where the bishop is, there is the community, even as where Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."
~ Ignatius of Antioch (Smyrn., viii, 2) circa A.D. 110, laid down this principle on true union with the Church, versus schism; all the more impressive because his casual use of the word "Catholic" demonstrates the widespread acceptance of the term at a very early date.

Although the government supports cotton farmers by regulating prices, cotton producers in Mozambique receive prices that are lower than international reference prices. Findings from a recent study conducted by the Monitoring African Food and Agricultural Policies (MAFAP) project show that the following measures would improve prices for producers:
- fostering competition along the entire cotton value chain, especially among processing companies (ginners);
- making processing more efficient to increase both the quantity and quality of outputs;
- revising the domestic price fixing system to align producers' prices with prices in international markets; and
- strengthening the market power of producers, relative to ginners, to improve transparency and equity in cotton market transactions.
Currently sugar cane farmers in the United Republic of Tanzania receive lower prices than they could, despite high domestic demand, because of high processing costs. Tariffs on imported sugar keeps prices high for consumers without boosting prices for farmers. A new policy approach based on liberalized trade and increased competitiveness of sugar processing could lead to higher prices for producers and lower prices for consumers.
Cattle farmers in Burkina Faso receive low prices and have few incentives to increase production and marketing. Cattle producers would receive higher prices if several specific measures, for example increasing export opportunities, were in place.
Rice farmers and traders in Uganda receive higher prices thanks to existing policies. However, rice consumers also pay higher prices since they do not receive subsidies designed to offset high producer prices. FAO/MAFAP analysis suggests that increasing rice production is the key to making rice more affordable for consumers while protecting producers.

Global Deal: Sharp to Sell Shares to Hon Hai at Lower Price
By Juro Osawa
HONG KONG – Sharp Corp. is likely to sell a stake to Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. at a lower price than previously agreed, as the troubled Japanese electronics maker tries to secure a much-needed lifeline from its Taiwanese business partner amid a steep decline of its stock price.
Hon Hai, the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer, also known as Foxconn, agreed in March to take a 9.9% stake in Sharp at 550 yen (about $7) per share for a total of roughly $800 million. However, the price of Sharp's shares has since fallen to about one third of that level; on Monday, the stock ended the morning session down 6.1% at ¥186, extending its decline in the past two sessions.

Why Freezing Is the Best Way to Preserve Cilantro
Herb Gardening 101
Whether it's the ongoing debate that a dislike of cilantro is determined by genetics or the recent stir caused by cilantro imported from Mexico, cilantro certainly seems to be a hot topic right now. While some crave its fresh, spicy flavor, others find it utterly unappealing. For me, I can't get enough of it.
Not only can it be tricky to grow, but it also proves challenging to preserve. If you're a lover of cilantro, like I am, you've probably had some exasperating moments trying to successfully capture and prolong its flavor. Here are some tips to both extend the shelf-life of your recently harvested (or purchased) cilantro, and enjoy its freshness in the months ahead.
Everything You Need to Know About Growing Cilantro
Herb Gardening 101
We've finally reached the last herb in our Herb Gardening 101 series, and we've definitely saved the trickiest for last. Cilantro was one of the earliest herbs ever cultivated for culinary use — dating back over 3,000 years — and over that period of time, it has found its way into almost every major cuisine.
Its tendency to go to seed at the slightest rise in temperature can make it a little frustrating to grow in hot, dry climates, but where would our guacamole, Asian spring rolls, or Dhanya Chatni be without this incredibly aromatic herb? Here's how to turn one packet of seeds into a garden staple for years to come.

4 Ways to Preserve Fresh Rosemary
Herb Gardening 101
If you're one of the lucky ones who lives in a hot climate, preserving rosemary might not be an issue for you, since rosemary is evergreen in warmer growing zones. If you live in a colder climate, like I do, you know rosemary doesn't survive the winter, so learning ways to preserve your harvest is necessary.
The fresh, bright flavor of rosemary can be used for everything from grilled vegetables and roasted lamb to savory marinades and herbaceous cocktails, and capturing its vibrant flavor couldn't be easier.
Everything You Need to Know About Growing Rosemary
Herb Gardening 101
When I think of rosemary, I imagine the rolling hillsides in the south of France, peppered with wild rosemary bushes. I just want to pour myself a glass of rosé, sit poolside, and take in its resinous aroma. Rosemary is not only about aesthetics, though — it adds a flavorful finishing touch to many a savory dish, like grilled lamb, roasted chicken, or toasty focaccia.
Rosemary is easy to grow, evergreen in many climates, and it thrives in containers. There's no excuse why you shouldn't be growing some of your own.
Which Creates More Greenhouse Gases: Conventional or Organic Farming?
Food News
Unfortunately, the answer might surprise you. A recent study published in Agriculture and Human Values points to organic farming actually having higher greenhouse gas emissions than conventional farming.
But don't write off organics just because of this piece of news.
The Easiest Way to Preserve Parsley
Herb Gardening 101
I once read that parsley's flavor is the "summation of all things green." I'd say that's a fitting description of this classic, lively, summer herb. Parsley is one of those herbs that produces exponentially, provided the proper growing situation. If you're growing some in your garden, you most likely have a lot of it on hand. Lucky for you, there's a time-saving way to preserve it. No chopping required.
Everything You Need to Know About Growing Parsley
Herb Gardening 101
Growing up, kale was simply the "green stuff" that lined the beds of pale, nutrient-deficient iceberg lettuce at the salad bar. Talk about the ultimate irony. Now, kale is an almost daily component of my diet. The only dandelions or purslane I touched, as a child, were the so-called "weeds" I was told to pull up from my front yard. Today, those two make routine appearances in my salads and smoothies.
And parsley? Those too were just frilly leaves, sitting atop my entrée, that I flicked aside so I could enjoy the main course. Today, parsley is the most-used herb in my home kitchen. I'm here to tell you why you should be growing it in your garden and how easy it is to do.

Industry events showcasing Dante audio networking <see all>
Audinate has announced that 275 manufacturers have now adopted Dante, the industry-leading audio over IP networking solution, and that more than 675 Dante-enabled products are now available worldwide. This represents a dramatic 145% increase in the number of commercially available products since ISE last year.
The Ministry of Sound London has streamlined its Harman tools and distribution network, including an upgrade to the Soundcraft Vi3000 and Realtime Rack plug-in engine, supplied by Sound Technology.
RedNet A16R expands Focusrite's range of 1U Dante interfaces with network and power supply redundancy, providing 16 channels of analogue input and output with high quality A-D and D-A digital conversion at up to 119dB dynamic range, plus two channels of AES/EBU digital I/O, to and from the Dante network.
RedNet A16R provides conversion at standard rates – 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 and 192kHz at 24-bit resolution – with pull-up/down capability. Electronically-balanced analogue audio I/O is provided on DB25 connectors wired to AES59 specifications, and internal signals are balanced throughout. Inputs and outputs may be configured for either +18dBu or +24dBu = 0dBFS signal levels. Two additional channels of AES/EBU I/O with sample rate conversion are provided on XLR connectors. Sample rates and operating levels are selected remotely from software on the host computer. The clock source for the unit may be internal, or external via Word Clock or DARS (the latter via the XLR input). RedNet A16R also outputs Word Clock.
RedNet A16R features power and network redundancy, with two separate universal (100–240V) PSUs including IEC connectors with retaining clips, plus dual network interfaces on locking etherCON connectors, which can be set remotely to Redundant or Switched (daisy-chain) mode.

Breaking News Which Shocks No One: Facebook Addresses Privacy Concerns
There's an old Dilbert cartoon strip wherein Dogbert attempts to create an always-accurate newspaper that readers only need to buy once. This one-time-only newspaper included stories which are always true, like "Pope speaks out against violence," and "American's angered by higher taxes." It's an interesting—and incredibly fictional—idea, though I'd like to add a headline to this "All You Need Is One" publication: "Facebook addresses privacy concerns".
Last week, Facebook committed its latest blunder when it automatically hid each of a users' email addresses, except for their own @facebook email address. This move was seen as a rather lame way of forcing Facebookers to use the social giant's email service rather than their preferred account.
Now, as they face more scrutiny and criticism, Facebook has offered a simple explanation for their seemingly heavy-handed email persuasion: It's not us, it's you.
The social networking king is now saying that those who have raised complaints about their new email system simply don't understand how they're organizing the messages and contacts. Adding to the trouble, some users have even noticed that Facebook has gone into their mobile phones and changed their contact's information, removing the original email address and changing it to the @Facebook account. According to Readwriteweb.com, Facebook engineers are looking into this issue.
"By default, messages from friends or friends of friends go into your Inbox. Everything else goes to your Other folder," writes Facebook spokeswoman Meredith Chin in an email to Red Write Web. "That is likely where the messages are being sent from other people's emails. Even if that person is friends with them on Facebook, if the friend doesn't have that email on their Facebook account, the message could end up in the Other folder."
Part of their new changes included hiding every email address you've ever given Facebook, leaving only your @Facebook account visible. The intention, it seems, was to present users with a clean slate with email, allowing them to make visible only those addresses they chose.
In a Newtonian twist of fate, this "hiding" of every email address—with the exception of any @Facebook address—had some long-lasting consequences on some users' mobile phones. Facebook's Contact Sync keeps the contacts on your mobile phone up-to-date with whatever information is listed on Facebook. As such, whenever Facebook hid these email addresses, it set about a chain reaction, deleting email addresses in users' mobile phones, replacing them with that pesky @Facebook email address.
To fix this problem, users simply need to log into their Facebook account and unhide any email address they want visible. Then, each of your friends who use Contact Sync will have your actual, preferred email address. Unfortunately for Contact Sync users, until each of your friends manually unhide their email addresses, you'll only see their @facebook address. That is, of course, unless you have their email address committed to memory.
As Facebook handles several privacy concerns a year, it's easy to wonder how many more missteps it will take for users to begin to slowly back away from Facebook and its services. Though convenient in theory, the usefulness of Contact Sync in practice is diminished by the fact that Facebook can simply flip a switch and delete personal data on your mobile devices.

RapidSMS offers a flexible framework for developing SMS-based applications, and PhoneGap streamlines the art of cross-platform app development.
When you think of UNICEF, you probably don't think about innovation, which is actually one of the organization's core values [1]. UNICEF has helped develop everything from birthing kits to solar-powered cold storage units. In fact, in 2009, UNICEF was awarded the Gov 2.0 Summit Award [2] for RapidSMS, a free, open source framework for developing SMS-based applications [3].
RapidSMS isn't something you download and start using. Instead, RapidSMS is a Django and Python-based framework that can be customized for diverse data collection,
workflow, and group coordination functionality. The software is designed to work on any phone that can send and receive text messages and is intended to be customized for governments and humanitarian organizations working in geographically remote areas with limited infrastructure, such as roads and electricity. In October 2008, RapidSMS played an integral role in UNICEF's efforts to distribute high-protein food (Plumpy'nut) to 1,800 food centers in drought-crippled Ethiopia [4]. Before using RapidSMS, aid monitors collected data, such as the amount of food received and distributed, but there could be several weeks of delay between when the data was collected and analyzed and any follow-up actions, such as sending additional supplies. RapidSMS helped eliminate the delay, which is no small task when you are dealing with 193,130 cartons of Plumpy'nut from 1,852 distribution centers.

How to Add Fractions With Unlike Denominators
Ever struggle with those confusing math problems? A very difficult area for many people is fractions, especially when you begin adding. This can become even more complex when the fractions have different denominators, or bottom numbers. Still, adding fractions with unlike denominators is relatively easy, so don't worry.
1Write down the beginning fractions. Write them down side by side so that they're close to one another and easy to see. We'll give you examples below for each step that you read.
- Ex. 1: 1/2 + 1/4
- Ex. 2: 1/3 + 3/4
- Ex. 3: 6/5 + 4/3
2Find a common denominator. Do this by finding a "multiple" of the two denominators. An easy way to find one is to simply multiply the two denominators together.
- Ex. 1: 2 x 4 = 8. Both of our fractions will have a denominator of 8.
- Ex. 2: 3 x 4 = 12. Both of our fractions will have a denominator of 12.
- Ex. 3: 5 x 3 = 15. Both of our fractions will have a denominator of 15.
5Line both fractions up side by side with their new numbers. We haven't added them yet, but that will come soon! What we've done is multiple each fraction by the number 1.
- Ex. 1: instead of 1/2 + 1/4, we have 4/8 + 2/8
- Ex. 2: instead of 1/3 + 3/4, we have 4/12 + 9/12
- Ex. 3: instead of 6/5 + 4/3, we have 18/15 + 20/15
9Simplify and reduce. Simplify by dividing both the numerator and the denominator in the fraction by each number's greatest common factor.
- Ex. 1: 6/8 can be simplified to 3/4.
- Ex. 2: 13/12 can be reduced to 1 1/12.
- Ex. 3: 38/15 can be reduced to 2 8/15.
Community Q&A
What if there isn't a numerator equal to the denominator?
Do we have to simplify?
What steps are used to add or subtract 2 fractions with unlike denominators?
What are the steps to add fractions with different denominators?
How do I determine equivalent fractions not in simplest form?
- Do not forget to multiply all numbers of the fraction by the same number.
- Don't forget to simplify.
- Always simplify at the end, the numbers are then easier to continue working with. Unless, of course, you are asked not to.
- Denominators "must" be the same for the fractions to be added, that's why they are called "common" denominators. Don't attempt the problem until you have done all of the conversions - it's not a shortcut, and it will just mean more work for you.
- You can use LCM to help you find the lowest common factor.

Found more info on it. It's a 1953 Siata 208CS Balbo Berlinetta.
There's another pic of it on the first page in this article, as well as 10+ more pages of car pics from the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Lots of 911's within, I'm talking to you FlatSix.
This actually looks like it'd be a weird looking car, but that's an awesome angle. 1955 Lincoln Indianapolis Boano Coupe
1967 Alfa Romeo TZ2 Zagato Coupe, from above mentioned article
F-40LM Ferrari. Old school raw power and aerodynamics in a carbon firer, no roll up windows no door interior liners package. Purported to be almost as fast as the Ferrari F1 car of the same era.
Brutal and beautiful in a very hard edged way.
We are an empire. Use it wisely.
^Yea, it's kind of goofy. Batman-esque. Edit:The batmobile I speak of actually was a Lincoln as well. Cool nonetheless.
'33 Volvo Venus Bilo. Purportedly the first concept car. I dig. Full article about it below.

But since the 55 Lincoln had a V8 engine, and there are only 6 exhaust pipes, either they are fake or the final two were routed to the back in the usual fashion.
The rust issue is why the first thing I did was take it to Ziebart.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

Jealous FlatSix... I got to watch them set-up part of Amelia Island once, but I missed the bulk of the show. I definitely need to get to one of the two asap.
This thread is another datum in the dataset that shows most Anglosphere cyclists are really MOTORISTS since they almost always avail of a car to get anywhere they have to go(with few exceptions, try for example find a decent stock of panniers in Local Bike Store). The amount of gearhead-dom in this thread is epicly disgusting...
The car is a menace to society in every facet that could be mentioned. If I woke up tomorrow and learned that government subsidies for roads for private automobiles were ending, I would be ecstatic.
Hey !! don't tar everyone here with the same brush. I don't own a car and I don't drive. I know what comes out of the tail end may not be good for the planet, but that doesn't mean that I cannot appreciate the classics and the modern engineering marvels created by Lamboghini, Porsche, Ferrari and other supercars. Even everyday cars like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Lexus to name a few, have tried to make a cleaner and greener engine. Every year they are improving the performanance, safety, comfort and features of the car. Today's cars have come a long way since Model T....
This thread is for us to share and admire classics that have disappeared and oggle at supercars that we cannot afford. BTW, depending on how he drives on the roads, the Driver is the menace to society, the car is just the tool he uses. So why blame the car.

Ride Safe - Be Alert, Be Seen, Be Predictable
Admiring cars and "engineering marvels" is just pure wanton consumerism and escapism. Cars cannot be green. The average United States car weighs 4000 lbs! And for what to mostly haul around one person, in a nation where the average male person even despite all the obesity weighs 200 lbs... In the realm of relative truth, go-karts would be more efficient, but absolutely the bicycle is the king of truly efficient transport when you don't subsidize the most expensive and least attractive option with massive taxpayer subsidized roadways, highways, bridges, etc.
The car is the enemy of all those who are not motorists. But since most cyclists in my country are really motorists in their "DNA", it is not surprising that this topic would span 100 pages of replies.
Stick with the trolls in "living car free." Why would you come to a thread with people who obviously have a passion for something, and bash it?

BenzFanatic is right. If you want a good discussion of the merits of car culture, trundle on over to Living Car Free. Or if you want to discuss it in Foo, why not start your own thread instead of hijacking this one.
The Buddhist concept of yin and yang acknowledges that in bad there is good and in good there is bad. This thread is a celebration of the good in cars. Yes, they are not a good idea for mass transportation. But they can be beautiful. They can be exciting. That is what this thread is about.

For the record, screw any elitist arrogant jackass who thinks he or she is superior to others because of commuting in one way or another. I have no problem with lobbying for tighter emissions laws, better bicycle routes and encouraging people to drive smaller vehicles and bicycle commute (all but one of my cars at least a couple hundred pounds shy of 2500) but you seriously need to learn to appreciate equality and the passions that others have which you don't.
Bring back the Sig Test!
Saw a lot of nice looking cars on the Woodard cruise this last weekend. Was driving a 1966 Olds convert. If you get a chance check out the web site. There are very few really bad looking cars. I think it would be easier to list all the ugly cars. Some of the Citrones and the Ugos are the top of the that list.

Harrington leads Lions to OT victory
DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Lions have won as many games in six
weeks as they did all of last season. They still don't think
anybody believes in them.
Question on the Bears: What happened to all those breaks and good karma from last year?
Good players are more important than good karma, and the Bears have been hurt by injuries. CB R.W. McQuarters was out for awhile, and he's back now but isn't playing consistently. Plus, the season-ending injury to DT Ted Washington was huge, because he helped keep those offensive linemen off the linebackers.
Question on the Lions: Has Harrington's success possibly brought Millen and Mornhinweg another year?
I believe so. GM Matt Millen probably deserves another shot, but I'm not sure if coach Marty Mornhinweg will stick around. Personnel-wise, the Lions made a great decision in drafting QB Joey Harrington. Every week, he gets better -- and he gives Detroit fans reason to be optimistic about the future.
Eric Allen played cornerback for 14 NFL seasons with the Eagles, Saints and Raiders.
Jason Hanson's 48-yard field goal with 10:18 left in overtime
gave Detroit a 23-20 win Sunday over the Chicago Bears, who have
lost four straight.
"I don't think it silences a lot of people, I really don't,''
said James Stewart, who ran for a career-high 172 yards and two
touchdowns on 32 carries. "I really think people will still look
at us as being on the bottom of the league. I really don't think
this win makes people change their minds about us, but we can't
worry about that.''
While the Lions (2-4) matched their win total from last season,
Chicago (2-4) already has more regular-season losses than all of
last year, when it won its first division title since 1990.
The victory was especially sweet for rookie quarterback Joey Harrington, who failed to lead Detroit on fourth-quarter comebacks
last week against Minnesota and in his first start against Green
Bay -- throwing an interception each time.
After leading 10 fourth-quarter comebacks at Oregon, Harrington
now has one in the NFL after completing 16 of 30 passes for 199
yards with no TDs or interceptions.
"We've been very close a couple times and haven't pulled it
out, so it's a frustrating feeling to be 2-4,'' Harrington said.
"But it's a good feeling because we've been so close and we've
been improving. We're really optimistic.''
The Bears scored 17 unanswered points to take a 20-14 lead
midway through the third quarter.
Harrington then led a 14-play drive to pull the Lions within
three late in the third. The game-tying drive -- with no timeouts
left -- set up Hanson's 24-yard kick with 2 seconds left.
"These are the games we were winning last year,'' Chicago's
Rosevelt Colvin said. "Now, we're losing them.''
Anthony Thomas ran for 92 yards and a TD, but fumbled twice.
Chris Chandler, starting in place of an injured Jim Miller, was
16-of-25 passing for 163 yards with one TD and one interception. He
extended his own NFL record (since the 1970 merger) by starting for
his seventh team.
Hanson's kick to force overtime capped a wild, 12-play drive
that covered 72 yards. It started at the Detroit 22 with 2:21 left.
The Lions benefited from instant replay for the third time in
the game when Harrington's 15-yard pass to Scotty Anderson at
midfield was ruled a catch and fumble, not an incomplete pass by
the replay official.
Five plays later, the Lions had a first-and-goal from Chicago's
2 with 34 seconds left. After Harrington was stuffed on a sneak, he
spiked the ball with 11 seconds to go.
Chicago's Mike Green was called for pass interference on third
down, which gave the Lions a new set of downs from the 1 with 7
seconds left.
Two plays later, a false start by Lions rookie Matt Murphy
negated Larry Whigham's sack, which would've ended the game.
Harrington was relieved it didn't.
"I didn't have a clue -- I never saw the flags,'' he said. "I
was on the ground, and I heard the ref coming in and yelling 'False
start, false start -- no play,' and I was yelling back 'Thank you!
Thank you!'''
Chicago's overtime kickoff went out of bounds, giving the Lions
the ball at their own 40. Detroit ran the ball seven straight times
to set up the game-winning kick.
"I didn't watch it,'' Stewart said. "I was on my knee, letting
the crowd let me know what happened.''
Game notes
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue was in Detroit to visit
Ford Field, the site of the 2006 Super Bowl. ... Chandler, who
started 14 games for Atlanta last season, has also started for
Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, the Houston Oilers, the Los Angeles Rams
and the Phoenix (now Arizona) Cardinals. ... Hanson was to fly to
his home in Washington state Sunday night to be with his wife, who
is expecting their third child. ... Detroit receiver Germane
Crowell played for the first time since injuring his knee on Oct.
21, 2001, and caught two passes for 21 yards. ... Gary Moeller,
fired as Detroit's head coach after the 2000 season, is the Bears'
linebackers coach.

CHICAGO (AP) — Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko each hit two-run homers and the Chicago White Sox spoiled the debut of Oakland interim manager Bob Melvin, beating the Athletics 9-4 on Thursday night.
Melvin replaced Bob Geren earlier in the day, but the change couldn't keep Oakland from its 10th straight defeat.
Mark Buehrle (6-4) threw seven strong innings and improved to 5-1 with a 3.00 ERA in his last seven starts. He allowed seven hits and three runs.
Dunn was back in the lineup after sitting out two games. He was hit by a pitch and scored in Chicago's three-run second. He homered for the first time since May 24, a two-run shot in the third.
Trevor Cahill (6-4) lasted just 2 2-3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.

Yep, the Christian and English thing are discrimination. Suddenly I feel like BBQ-ing on the lawn with some mariachi music blaring....

Yeah, first thought was illegal. I mean even craigslist, the place where many a scam, rape, and murder originated, states plainly in their posting clause that any post containing illegal discriminatory practices will be shut down. I know it's not the point of why your outraged (it is horrible), but it's a remedy. If you report the ad then it will probably have to be pulled. Yikes! What a person. :(
Well you could just give her a heads up and call her out. Say something like... Due to the fair housing act (isn't that what it's called?) your listing is illegal and discriminatory. You can't discriminate based on religion or language. I just wanted to let you know so you don't get in trouble.
If she doesn't do anything... Report her ignorant ass.
I hate that people don't see that this is discrimination.
some other poster's beat me to it.. but not before she got 10 likes and several comments commending her stance on the ideal neighboors.

Pied-a-terre meets atelier
I am off to Paris to research & gather inspiration (amongst other things) for my upcoming renovation of The Society inc. A third level is to be added as my residence.
I imagine its exterior to be zinc lined with rounded detailed windows on the east & west sides, and a wall of glass panels & french doors on the south side. The north side may be brick.
I am creating something only I may want to live in but it will be a true reflection of me, my lifestyle & fit oh-so-perfectly with the personality of The Society inc. The interiors are yet to be decided but I will need a bed, a bath, a basin & spaces for my clothes, lots of light & room for ghosts, dreams & not yet imagined ideas, creations, thoughts, crafts & designs.
I cannot wait (!!!): to be choosing my favourite finishes & fixtures, working on the design of the spiral staircase, thinking parquetry, hardware, to be able to have exactly the things that make me tick underfoot, in my hand, to reclaim salvage, engage artists & forgers in craft nearly forgotten & to use all my knowledge of amazing suppliers both local & global.
Museum of Jurassic Technology
Long ago I read a book called Mr Wilson's Cabinet of Wonder. It was based on an out of the way place in LA that was around way before cabinet of curiosities reached the resurgence of coolness it now enjoys.
I have since wanted to visit the museum but to no avail for various reasons- until a recent 30 hour stint in La La Land.
An unassuming facade on Venice Boulevard, Culver City, it is a shade of green with an old brass buzzer engraved with its name, lovely and old school.
Due to my limited time & excuse of my next book, I made an appointment to view this enigma. The size of MJT is deceiving. We were greeted by Rachel who informed us that she would be leaving at 3pm with apologies. I was noon and the place appeared to be made up of just 3 rooms! Well, were we in for a surprise.
The museum is made up of two floors & roughly 20 rooms (I lost count so don't quote me on that). Each room is intimate, dark & encourages you to look into, touch, listen or read. It is a realisation of one man's (& his wife) vision.
The rabbit warren of rooms: part carneval, cabinet & curios, sideshow, history, circus, museum, gallery & exhibit. As you can see, it is impossible to categorise.
Each display is different with dioramas, holograms, microscopes, 3D glasses & listening devices installed for you to experience each installation in its own way. The installations are strange, intriguing & curious- but one wonders if these are historical or if they are fictional characters that have been created, philosoph-ied & imagined. Regardless, the experience is of marvel, joy, wonder, curiosity & mystery.
There is a big surprise on the top floor. You come out into a Moroccan Oasis of light after being in the dark for so long. It's like your mind is being cleared from the huge amount of information intake downstairs and here you are cleansed and able to process all the wonderful things you have seen. There is a subtlety of colour, a bird singing in a large aviary and it is airy & light & lovely & white.
Note to self: leave plenty of time, hours disappear here.
Ah the beauty of social media! I meet like-minded people, shopowners, designers & everyone in between from around the world & hatch lovely friendships with them this way. 3Potato4 is one of them. I orchestrated my recent roadtrip to include visiting Stu & Janet at their 3Potato4 barn just on the outskirts of Philadelphia.
Although running hideously late (that is after it closed at 4pm), Stu & I shot the breeze for a couple of hours over our mutual love for the curious & 'the find' as old friends. His aesthetic is right up my alley: oversized theatre props, macabre props, handtooled stencils, maps, signs, books, spindle backed chairs, old packaging, flour sacks & all those other irresistibles.
He has made promises of letting me tag along to local fleamarkets & auctions on my next trip to Philly.
NB: Stu suggested The Dandelion for dinner & it was fantastic! Make sure you look at all the different levels, the interiors are super cool!
On my recent roadtrip through PA (that's Pennsylvania, USA), I stopped at Terrain- this had been on my list for a long time. It is one hours drive from Philadelphia & well worth hitting around lunchtime- make sure you book a table at their internal cafe, Styer's.
The shop & cafe are surrounded by gardens, a greenhouse for the more sensitive plants, an open wood fire pit, trees, wood walls, grasses, produce, seedlings & other gardening essentials and after recent snowstorms in the East coast region (I know- snow for Halloween!)- it looked all magical & Narnia-esque.
As you meander toward the cafe: books, twine, gardening tools, lights, furniture & uber-cool products are for sale plus great storage & display ideas are a-plenty ie jars of honey & it's own comb casually displayed on a window (heaven!).
The cafe is a conservatory of zinc potted green walls, overflowing log shaped planters, floating string balls (you know the ones with the trees), all light & bright & split bamboo shaded. The food is seasonal, local, fresh as it should be & feel free to BYO champagne or a drink of your choice as they are yet to be licensed but happy to pop your cork.
Even the bathrooms are considered & inspirational. NB: take your camera!!
Pont 13
On arrival into Amsterdam, we headed straight to Pont 13 (our taxi driver found it a challenge): a restaurant on a boat, on the water, on a pier in an industrial area- I'm sure there are lots of shipwrights around!
This place is fantastic. A truly original space, not gimmicky or theme-y, but all nautical, rope-y, teak, brass & round metal riveted windows.
The bar curves with oversized industrial lighting, more beacon in style, suspended from above. A metal spiral staircase leads to a tiny office that looks over the restaurant which is laid out with long tables of teak & paneled like a boat. Knotted & slightly frayed rope acts as a screen for the bathrooms. This place is more ship than boat with lots of heavy ship metal painted dark blue and a creamy white painted hull. Even the heavy sail canvas, leather & stormy blue velvet curtains (that keep the cold winds at bay that whip off the water) rocked my world- or boat haha! In the summer months I heard they BBQ & spit roast on the outside decks. I am soooo coming back on my bicycle.
Helene Feruzzi
We battled hightide & navigated our way over bridges & waterways in Venice (who knew the canal seeps over the walls & intrudes straight into the streets!) to arrive at Helene's house. A high ceilinged apartment with terracotta tiled floor displaying her own hand-painted silks, cottons & linens acting as curtains, cushions, lampshades & artwork, complemented in colour with her husbands oil paintings of Venice.
Her husband was her mentor. He worked largely with geometrics and his paintings line & brighten the walls of her home, as Bach is playing in the background.
She explains that creating is like the movement of dance for her, like music & its rhythm. I can see this in her long hand-painted panels. Her fabric appears as stained glass panels (but more beautiful & not religious) as the light shines through her circles & visible brush-stroked lines; inkiness with a free hand; loose with movement as colours merge & blur. Her shapes mimic jellyfish and anemone, then dragons, glowing paper lanterns, feathers, the wind & movement of the watery canals which surrund her. You could look for hours and see different colours & shapes.
Helene works downstairs & outside in the Spring & Summer months only. Like me, she hibernates for the Winter (perhaps she is also part bear). She is seasonal in her colour & creativity. When I met her she was dressed head to toe in indigo, her own work manipulated into a scarf tied around her neck, a Japanese Shibori bracelet & loose gypsy pants in blue- she is a French Venetian version of my bestie, Sally Campbell, red hair & all!

June 2003
Recent progress in stereo algorithm performance is quickly outpacing the ability of existing stereo data sets to discriminate among the best-performing algorithms, motivating the need for more challenging scenes with accurate ground truth information. This paper describes a method for acquiring high-complexity stereo image pairs with pixel-accurate correspondence information using structured light. Unlike traditional range-sensing approaches, our method does not require the calibration of the light sources and yields registered disparity maps between all pairs of cameras and illumination projectors. We present new stereo data sets acquired with our method and demonstrate their suitability for stereo algorithm evaluation. Our results are available at http://www.middlebury.edu/stereo/.

Those of you waiting for a True Lies sequel, it looks like you're finally getting your wish — well, kind of, at least. James Cameron is reportedly preparing a television adaptation of his 1994 action comedy, with his Dark Angel collaborator Rene Echevarria attached as writer and showrunner.
Deadline reports that the project, which comes from Cameron's Lightstorm Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV, is about to be pitched to networks. At the moment, little is known about the television adaptation's plot — it could be a complete reboot of the original True Lies with new actors occupying the roles made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. Perhaps the show will feature a new set of characters entirely. What's not terribly likely, of course, is Schwarzenegger and Curtis reprising their roles, unless they appear in brief cameos. Maybe Tom Arnold could be the returning linchpin to hold the continuity together?
The original True Lies focused on Harry Tasker (Schwarzenegger), family man by day and high octane spy by night. Neglected and craving adventure of her own, Harry's wife Helen (Curtis) embarks on an affair. Eventually, the two join forces in an effort to prevent a massive terrorist attack and repair their strained marriage.
Don't forget Eliza Dushku, who is very comfortable on tv, played the daughter. Personally, considering Cameron's hostility to the disabled, I won't be watching. Of course since the media never talks about it, or asks him about it and just keeps kissing his rear, I'll probably be the only one.

that cert. But after reading through the Microsoft site, I believe that is not the case. I took the 240 exam and the security exam to get my cert. Am I correct in assuming that I need only the two upgrade exams to get my 2003 cert and that the Exchange exam is not necessary? Yes, you are correct unless something else changes between now and when you complete those upgrade exams. Microsoft can (and all too often will) change the rules along the way; barring such a change, however, you need only 70-292 and 70-296 (when they become available later this year, probably in September or October) to upgrade your MCSE from 2000 to 2003 status.
