You've read enough Doubtblush posts to know that we can be grumpy and snarky with the best of them. And though we usually try and channel our more sunnier dispositions, there are those days when we just can't seem to muster up enough love for the world around us to crack a smile. We ward off any unwanted comments on how tired we look, or how we need to "cheer up!" by drinking several rounds of coffee out of the I Hate Whatever Today Is Mug ($10). And actually, that sentiment cheers us greatly, which means tomorrow, we'll be feeling better. We're sure of it.

I have a Mountain Lion InstallESD.dmg I also have a iMac 2007 model which I used an old install disk (incompatible) to access it's disk utility. I removed everything from my internal HD and reformatted as Macintosh Extended Journalled
Then I stuck InstallESD.dmg onto a USB and plugged in a second USB.
I formatted the second as Extended Journaled (GUID Partition Table) and burned the DMG from USB one to USB two.
I then turned my iMac off and rebooted holding alt (option). It picked up my bootable USB and I clicked it. It went onto the grey screen with the apple logo (I have been told it's normal) however after a short period of time, the apple logo changes to a prohibitary sign and a spinning cog shows underneath. I left my iMac for a long time and nothing happened. What Am I Doing Wrong?
NOTE: I only have access to disk utility, terminal and the essentials that can be used straight from boot disk

The Michigan Wolverines beat the Ohio State Buckeyes, 72-69, in the first of two Big Ten college basketball tournament semifinals on Saturday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The victory advanced the Wolverines into the championship game of the postseason event on Sunday, when it will face the winner of the Michigan State-Wisconsin matchup in the other semifinal, which as of this writing had not been decided.
As was true in its quarterfinal win over Illinois on Friday, Michigan built a double-digit second half lead, only to see its opponent erase the deficit and go ahead. In this case, Ohio State fought back from 12 points down and took the lead, 61-60, with less than eight minutes remaining. Even so, guards Caris LeVert and Nik Stauskas hit key shots down the stretch to help the Maize and Blue -- now 25-7 overall this season -- regain momentum, and Glenn Robinson III's two free throws with 2:55 left put his squad back on top for good.
Stauskas once again led U-M in scoring with 18 points, while LeVert had 17 and Robinson III had 11. OSU's LaQuniton Ross led all scorers with 19 points.
Learn more about the game in a detailed recap on Michigan's official athletic website, MGoBlue.com. CBS will televise the Big Ten tournament championship game between U-M and either Michigan State or Wisconsin on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. EDT.

Yes, I am a winner
By Zhiqi Tao on Jul 02, 2008
My review of Open Solaris wins me a prize at OpenSolaris and NetBeans Student Reviews Contest. Details is here.
My review of Open Solaris wins me a prize at OpenSolaris and NetBeans Student Reviews Contest. Details is here.
On May 05, 2008 OpenSolaris 2008.05 was released. It is significantly different with Solaris Operating System in many aspects. My favorite change is that OpenSolaris is released as a bootable LiveCD. As I am living in Australia and all Internet Service Providers here charge the increditable price for download traffic, downloading one DVD or six CDs was really a headache to me. I felt much more comfortable to grab this version. Here is a bit of summaries of my experience after I have nearly run OpenSolaris on my Thinkpad T61 for a month.
1. Boot Into LiveCD Mode
Comparing with previous Solaris, I think OpenSolaris has a much more friendly interface on installation because I could give a try before I actually install it on my harddisk.
After I downloaded CD iso file, burned a CD and boot it from CDROM, I get a menu which gives three options: 1) Start OpenSolaris in GUI mode; 2) Start OpenSolaris in text concole; 3) Boot from harddisk.
After I selected the first option, a number of dots started to creep on the screen. I think they were meant to be an indication of system loading and I should just wait until these dots crept to the other end of screen. However, it would be nice to have a much meaningful indication, for example, a progress bar with text, say, "System loading" or "preparing Solaris".
Strangely the screen falled back to the Black & white mode and asked me to select me to the keyboard language. Although I perfectly understand the necessarity of using correct Keyboard, I was a bit worried about if the black & white screen might indicate something bad. For instance, my graphic card was not supported, which really gave me a hit when I tried with Nevada svn 64 several months ago.
Until the beautiful Nvidia logo popped up, I knew I could relief myself a bit.
Gnome panel then kicked in.
License agreement was the first dialog window I met.
Immediately Network Automagic window popped up and listed a number of Wireless network for me to choose. How sweet! My Intel ABG 3956 wireless network card worked out of box.
OpenSolaris built in an excellent tool, "Device Driver Utility" , to help collect what kind of drivers were missing. To run it, just double click the icon on the desktop. Unfortunately, the sound card and ACPI drivers were not included in this release. I certainly want to see them to work out of box in the next OpenSolaris release. So I clicked "Submit" button to submit a report. Hopefully Solaris kernel management team would consider them.
Apart from that, I could start to use OpenSolaris right away. It is a very smoothy platform. I did not notice much delay. It gave me a pretty good idea what it would look like after I installed OpenSolaris on my harddisk.
2. Installation is very straightforward.
There is an installation utility on desktop of OpenSolaris LiveCD mode . Simply double click this icon to start Installation. OpenSolaris 2008.05's installer is very similar to previous Nevada builds.
Select disk space. It would be nice that Gparted or similar tool is built in. So I don't have to reboot to other operating system to manipulate disk partitions.
Select time zone.
Set root passward, initial user name & password and system name.
Confirm detail. Simply click next button.
Have a cup of coffee and wait for completion.
Finish and click reboot button. However, during the reboot process there was no reminder to eject LiveCD from CDROM. Because I walk away after clicking reboot button, my laptop automatically reboot from CDROM again. I have to reboot it again and manually eject LiveCD.
Yeah, boot from harddisk. Grub automatically created entry for Windows and by default it select OpenSolaris 2008 05 which was labeled as "rc3" for some reaons.
System started to load in devices driver and services. I noticed that OpenSolaris 2008 05 is based on Nevada build 86.
Super User (Root) login is disabled by default.
The login screen.
The system is fully loaded. OpenSolaris default theme is pretty elegant. I like it a lot.
3. Post Installation configuration.
Since my sound card was not supported by default , I did some research and installed a customized Open Sound System driver to make it working as I wrote in previous blog entry. Hopefully Open Sound System driver will be built into OpenSolaris kernel in next release.
4. Install software
One of the most prominent feature of Image Packaging System. Most of day to day applications could be installed from IPS. Until today (2nd June 2008) there are 4464 packages on http://pkg.opensolaris.org.
However, there are still many applications which could not be installed from IPS, for example Mplayer, LaTex, KDE and etc al. I have to install them from Blastwave.org in an old fashion method, pkg-get. It would be nice to have Blastwave.org as alternative repository in IPS. Of course, Blastwave.org will need to make many modifications in order to aline OpenSolaris.org repository. For example, at this moment, I have to create menu shortcut for those software installed from Blastwave.org while OpenSolaris.org ones simply created menu shortcut automatically, which is a very nice feature.
ZFS, the most advanced file system with advanced snapshotting capabilities, is activated by default. It provides a great option to build an Ultimate Home Storage Server. It's on my to-do list. Start to save money to stock up hard disks.
6. Others
Although OpenSolaris does build in Nvidia driver, which provides excellent support on many advance features, for example, 3D desktops, it seems that getting external projector working has proved to be difficult, especially those very low resolutions, e.g. 640x480. I learned this lesson in a hard way. Although, as many suggested, VESA is an safe option, preparing two sets of xorg.conf files and switching them over could be a tedious task. Hopefully future OpenSolaris release would address this issue and have an elegant solution.
Adding a printer and getting it work is still very challenging in OpenSolaris 2008 05. The default interface of managing printer offers little information. In fact I was sort of looking for sensible suggestion because I felt lost. Although Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) could be installed from Blastwave.org, I still need to spend considerable time in order to get it fully functional. It would be nice to see that CUPS could be integrated in future OpenSolaris.
Although OpenSolaris has very support on File Allocation Table file system in that USB key would be recognized right away, accessing NTFS file system still requires some works. It could be very inconvenient to read or write data from Windows partitions or NTFS format portable disks. Some initial research shows that there are instructions to mount NTFS partition in read only mode. It appears to be in a very immature stage. I have good experience with NTFS-3G on linux. Some threads on OpenSolaris forum shows that there are a great deal of interests on porting NTFS-3G to Solaris. Hopefully it would be available on next OpenSolaris release.
In general OpenSolaris 2008 05 is a far more advanced release in term of how aggressive it moves forward to general public. Its excellent usability design makes non-geek users much easier to get started than previous Solaris releases. Most of hardware devices simply work out of box. I am expecially pleased to see that we are encouraging users to submit their hardware compability list, even in LiveCD mode. IPS is certainly a mile stone. Not only does it make software management easier but also it improved integration of software packages. I am much more comfortable to use software I installed from IPS. The questions are only how we add more packages and how to manage them in a more sensible way. Ultimately I am very happy that the first OpenSolaris is such close to a complete system to public. I hope within a few releases OpenSolaris could become the most popular operating system on the plant. Well, it is certainly on this way.
Occasionally I like to share some ideas or interesting news here.

The Louisiana Philharmonic starts the year with featured violinist Vadim Gluzman. His skilled performances weigh the best traditions from the 19th and 20th centuries, and brighten them with modern spice. Born in the Ukraine and playing violin since the age of seven, Gluzman has guest-performed in symphonies across the U.S. and Canada, including Seattle, Houston, Vancouver, and Toronto. In Europe, he has joined London's Philharmonic and Symphony orchestras, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Munich, and many more.
While Gluzman enjoys bringing his own unique twist to preexisting music, he does appreciate discovering new music. This passion has led him to collaborate with a number of current composers.
Gluzman's performance will breathe life into three delightful pieces, conducted by musical director Carlos Miguel Prieto:
- The Enchanted Lake, from Anatoly Liadov (1909)
- Violin Concerto No. 4, from Alfred Schnittke (1984)
- Symphony No. 2, from Jean Sibelius (1902)
Gluzman and Sibelius is set for Thursday, January 9 at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre. House doors will open around 6:30p, with theatre seating opening at 7. The concert begins promptly at 7:30. Tickets are on sale from $20-99. Seats are limited.

Estimating saline water table contributions to crop water use
Mark E. Grismer, University of California, Davis
Timothy K. Gates, University of California, Davis
California Agriculture 42(2):23-24.
Mark E. Grismer is Assistant Professor, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources, University of California, Davis; Timothy K. Gates is Post-graduate Researcher, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources, University of California, Davis.
Abstract Not Available – First paragraph follows:
Researchers in several western states have found that, under arid conditions, water tables can supply as much as 60 to 70 percent of a crop's water requirement. Use of high water tables reduces irrigation needs, lowers production costs, reduces deep seepage losses, and decreases the volume of drainage water requiring disposal. Successful use of the water table also depends on the soil's water retention and transmitting properties, evapotranspiration (ET) demand, distribution of the plant root system, and salinity and toxic ion effects on crop growth. Under field conditions, many of these factors are part of the overall crop response to the saline.

Nov. 15, 2013
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Former Alabama right-handed pitcher Jimmy Nelson (2008-10) was named as the top prospect for the Milwaukee Brewers by Baseball America on Friday. Nelson, who made his Major League Baseball debut near the end of the 2013 season, will look to continue his baseball career with the Brewers for the 2014 season.
In 2013, Nelson started the season at Double-A Huntsville where he made 12 starts, posting a 5-4 record with a 2.74 ERA with 72 strikeouts in 69 innings pitched. After a mid-season call up to Triple-A Nashville, Nelson made 15 starts, posting a 5-6 record with a 3.67 ERA in 83 innings, where he recorded 91 strikeouts.
His minor league performance earned him a spot on the September call-ups and he took advantage of the opportunity, making four appearances with one start for the Milwaukee Brewers in 2013. He had a 0-0 record with a 0.90 ERA in 10 innings pitched. He allowed just two hits to hold opponents to a .065 batting average, while striking out eight with five walks. Nelson was a second round draft pick of the Brewers following the 2010 season.
Here is what Baseball America has to say about Jimmy Nelson Scouting Report: Nelson can overpower hitters at times with a fastball that sits at 92-94 mph but also reaches 96 when he needs it. He is very aggressive, going after hitters with hard stuff that also includes an effective two-seamer in the low 90s with good sink and movement that he uses to induce groundouts. Nelson also can be very tough on right-handed hitters with his three-quarters arm slot and power slider, which has a sharp break and registers in the 84-86 mph range. He limited righties to a .213/.295/.290 batting line and three home runs over 370 plate appearances at three levels, including 0-for-15 in his brief big league trial. He continues to work on a changeup that is improving and will be key to remaining a starter going forward. Nelson has a great build for a pitcher, maintaining the quality of his stuff deep into games. When he is throwing strikes he mows through lineups, but on other days Nelson fights his delivery and walks hitters, creating doubt about his future role. He tends to overthrow and loses his release point, resulting in an average of 4.1 walks per nine innings for his minor league career, too many for a frontline starter. He also needs to polish his defense and ability to hold runners.
The Future: Nelson likely will have to return to Nashville to open the 2014 season but could force his way into the big league picture with a strong spring. While some scouts think his iffy command will consign him to the bullpen, the Brewers see a potential No. 2 or 3 starter who misses barrels and eats innings. He appears destined for regular spot in the Milwaukee rotation before the year is done.
2013 Club (Class) W-L ERA G-GS CG SV IP H HR BB SO AVG Huntsville (AA) 5-4 2.74 12-12 1 0 69 63 5 15 72 .241 Nashville (AAA) 5-6 3.67 15-15 1 0 83 74 2 50 91 .240 Milwaukee (ML) 0-0 0.90 4-1 0 0 10 2 0 5 8 .065

I have a USB drive with Ubuntu created from pendrivelinux.com. I've been running it off the USB drive to play with Linux on various machines without a problem. I recently installed Ubuntu to a hard drive from the USB drive using the USB boot loader's menu option (versus the "install to hard drive" option found on the live-USB desktop). Most everything installed correctly. However the installer overwrote the boot loader on the USB drive and never installed it on the fixed disk such that I couldn't boot the machine without the USB drive. I found this thread that helped me to correct the fixed disk boot problem. But I am still unable to boot to the USB installation.
I've been searching for a couple days but most of what comes up are articles describing how to set up a bootable USB with Linux on it. I've poked around on the USB drive to see if there's some obvious boot loader config file but I can't find anything that seems like a candidate to change. I have very limited knowledge of Linux so I don't know where to look or how to approach this problem.
I did look at this post, but it wasn't of any help.
I could repave the bootable USB drive but since the original setup I have created a persistence disk, installed apps, and have various personal settings and such on the USB install. I'd rather not do this when I imagine all I need to do is restore the pendrivelinux boot menu. At this point, I'm backing up all the files on the USB drive to another machine and may attempt the repave with the hope that I can somehow restore only the changed/persisted part of the USB drive. (And unfortunately I've run out of usable USB drives on which I could do a fresh install of bootable ubuntu in order to compare that against the messed up one to see what could be restored.)

It is freezing cold and the last thing you want is a mile long walk with Fido. You just want him to do his business so you can get back inside and defrost. He's got different ideas and forges ahead moving methodically from mailbox to mailbox, snow bank to snow bank taking careful stock of who has visited that location last and leaving his own message of pee-mail. Your dog's nose-brain connection is exponential compared to your own. As a matter of fact he "sees" smell as if it is a thing. You see a fire hydrant. Fido sees a pee-mail from Joe Boxer posted on the side of the hydrant and he just has to stop and read it.
Fun facts
- Dogs sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than humans, depending on breed
- Dogs have 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, compared to about six million in humans
- The dog's brain that is devoted to analyzing smells is 40 times greater than humans
- When dogs inhale, airflow splits into two different flow paths, one for olfaction and one for respiration unlike humans that have only one path for inhalation and exhalation
Heel boy!
Everyone wants to be that owner/dog couple walking down the street leisurely together. No leash pulling, no straining – just a soft loop of a leash that droops between dog and owner. Taking in the sights and smells; stopping to chat with a neighbor or two, maybe stopping along the way to play a game of fetch. Sound idyllic doesn't it? Even when it is sunny outside we don't often take this kind of time to actually enjoy walks with our dogs using the time to nurture a connection between us. Too often we treat walking the dog as a task on our to-do list, not a point of leisure. By this we force our dogs to rush past these invisible points of connection between him and other pets in the neighborhood. We stress ourselves as we pull and prod out dogs to hurry up and move on. Our dogs lose out because their primary vision is scent and we have blinded them.
"Let's suppose they're just 10,000 times better. If you make the analogy to vision, what you and I can see at a third of a mile, a dog could see more than 3,000 miles away and still see as well." -James Walker, former director of the Sensory Research Institute at Florida State University
Get help and love to walk your dog again
If walking your dog is a test of your patience tap into the resources of the Pet Professional Guild. During your search for a professional positive reinforcement dog trainer in your area, look through the dog owner resources available on their website including videos, scholarly articles and suggested reading on many topics ranging from surviving puppyhood to dog learning theory.
The Pet Professional Guild is unique as it is the only professional pet industry member association that advocates for force-free dog training and pet care and requires that its members adhere to its "Guiding Principles" including that no shock, no pain, no choke, no fear, no physical force, no physical molding, no compulsion based methods are employed to train or care for a pet.

No. 23 Softball Falls To Syracuse, 4-2 In Miami
March 16, 2003
MIAMI, Fla. - The 23rd-ranked University of Massachusetts softball team (9-10) committed four errors as it fell to Syracuse (6-12), 4-2, this afternoon at Florida International's University Park. The win for the Orangewomen was their first ever over a ranked team. The game was played because the championship bracket of the Nike Blue & Gold Classic was rained out. Heavy rains and thunder storms washed out play last night and the remainder of pool play resumed this morning before teams had to fly home.
The Minutewomen got on the board first in the top of the sixth inning, but had a chance for more. Freshman KJ Kelley (Rainier, Ore.) got things going with a one-out walk. After the inning's second out, junior Aisha Franke (Philadelphia, Pa.) legged out an in field single and Kelley was able to scamper to third when the Syracuse pitcher threw the ball away. Franke then stole second base and junior Nicole Wilson (Gaithersburg, Md.) put UMass up 1-0 with a sharp single up the middle. After Wilson stole second, sophomore Denise Denis (Middle Grove, N.Y.) worked a walk to load the bases for senior Emily Robustelli (Stamford, Conn.). Robustelli hit a sharp line drive which was snared by Julie Dunn at third to end the threat.
Syracuse scored one run in the bottom of the inning and scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the third to go up 3-1. The Orangewomen then scored again in the fourth inning to take a 4-1 edge. Kelley doubled to lead off the top of the fourth for UMass, but could not get any farther than third base. In the fifth, Denis led off with a single, but was still at third base after two consecutive ground outs. She did score on a wild pitch, but that would be the last time UMass would get a runner past first base.
Senior Kaila Holtz (North Vancouver, British Columbia) took the tough loss for the Minutewomen, giving up eight hits and four runs, only two of which were earned. She struck out three and walked one.
Massachusetts returns to action March 22-23 at the Atlantic 10/Big East Challenge in Philadelphia. The Minutewomen will play games against Villanova and Seton Hall each day. Play on Saturday begins at 2:00 p.m., and 9:00 a.m. on Sunday.
Tournament Notes: Massachusetts finished third with a 2-2 record in pool play of the Nike Blue & Gold Classic ... California (4-0) finished first while host-school Florida International (3-1) was runner-up ... the championship round was cancelled due to heavy rain in the Miami area last night ... senior Anna Perey (Chino Valley, Ariz.) and Holtz were named to the All-Tournament team ... Perey hit a team-high .400 (4-10) at the plate and stole four bases ... she also drove in a run and scored twice ... Holtz was 1-1 on the mound with a 2.15 ERA in 13.0 innings ... she struck out eight batters and walked three ... at the plate, Holtz was second on the team this weekend with a .364 (4-11) average.

Dog Medication
Tablets – General Advice
Giving tablets to a dog can be a daunting and difficult task. This section arms you with some simple techniques for stress free pill giving.
Techniques are in order of how much restraint is used. If it is safe to do so, try the easiest technique with the least restraint first and make sure you leave breaks between trying each technique to allow your dog to calm down. If you are having problems or if your dog becomes aggressive or distressed, talk to your vet about alternatives to tablets, don't struggle on alone. For example:
- Many drugs are also available in injectable forms. This may mean repeated visits to the vets but some dogs find this less stressful than being given tablets. Some drugs are available in long acting forms which only need to be injected once.
- Your vet may be able to recommend a different form of treatment.
Method 1
- Hide in a very small amount of tasty food for example butter or cheese (not if your dog is on a special diet). Butter or cheese can be moulded around the tablet to prevent your dog smelling the drug.
- Act very excited as though you are giving your dog a brilliant treat, you could even pretend to eat some yourself.
Method 2
- Enclose the tablet in some soft tinned dog food. This technique can also be performed with the tablet alone but offer your dog some food afterwards so that the tablet doesn't get stuck in the throat.
- Hold your dog's nose, roll the upper lips over the teeth and gently open the mouth.
- Push the tablet or the food containing the tablet to the back of the tongue.
- Hold the mouth gently shut until the tablet or food is swallowed, you will need to release the hold slightly to allow swallowing.
Giving Pastes, Liquids and Syrups
See methods for giving tablets. When administering pastes, liquids or syrups aim into the back of the mouth and syringe slowly giving the dog time to swallow properly. If you have to give your dog liquid paraffin be particularly careful, liquid paraffin has no taste so dogs can easily choke if it is syringed to quickly into their mouth. If possible try to administer it mixed with food.
Spot on administration
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the preparation. Most commonly the fur needs to be parted over the shoulder blades.
Usually spot ons should be administered onto the skin, not the fur. It may help to administer the spot on in a few different places in the required area to make sure it all goes onto the skin.

Kitchen Cabinets: To Replace or Reface?
From Marye on November 26, 2007 in Kitchen Remodel
If you're contemplating a kitchen remodeling project, your cabinets are probably on the short list of things that need an update. You may have seen an ad from one of the many companies who offer cabinet refacing services and wondered if this approach—which involves replacing the doors, drawer fronts, and all other visible areas of the cabinets while leaving their structural boxes intact—might work for you.
The short answer is, it depends. These days it's possible to find refacing specialists who can provide quality work, and a full range of styles, materials, and price points—and be in and out of your house in days, not weeks. Whether your project is a good candidate has a lot to do with how happy you are with your current kitchen, so it's worth taking the time to consider what's working well in the present setup.
We've just added some articles to the CalFinder Kitchen Cabinet Library to help you with the planning process, and we welcome your questions and comments.

I don't think anyone would've believed this tweet if you saw it on your timeline, it's just so unexpected and farfetched.

In this artcile you will learn how to block pop-ups in Google Chrome
The most annoying thing that can happen when I am browsing is the appearance of a pop-ups. I know that they bring money for the owners of the site I am navigating on, and these owners must earn some money from that site, but I think there are some other ways to do that, except posting annoying pop-ups. So onebiTzero.com will show you today how to block pop-ups in Google Chrome.
It seems that the fans of Google Chrome somehow agree with me on the matter from the above. I'm saysing that because Google Chrome has an extension created especially to block pop-ups. It is called the AdBlock extension and its main purpose is to block adverts on the web.
How do I install AdBlock in order to block pop-ups in Google Chrome?
It is easy.
Step 1: If you have not downloaded it already, get Google Chrome on onebiTzero.com
Step 2: Start the installation by double clicking the executable you have just downloaded.
Step 3: Once Google Chrome is installed on your computer, you will start the installation of the extension that allows you to block pop-ups. Download Adblock from Google Chrome extensions site.
Step 4: Simply click on Install and the installation of Adblock will take only a few seconds.
Step 5: Then you should configure AdBlock in order to block pop-ups in Google Chrome. Go to the top right menu "Customize and control Google Chrome" , click Extensions . Access AdBlock Options and start by checking the Show AdBlock button next to the address. Then click on "Browser Button for AdBlock" and install the new extension . AdBlock button appears right on your address bar now.
Step 6: Then go back to AdBlock Options using this button and simply check the filters you want.
You will notice the presence of other settings needed to disable the extension in certain areas and specifically block annoying pop-ups in Google Chrome.

A new Sam's Club built near a Native American ceremonial mound in Alabama is scheduled to open this month. According to a phone call interview from a Wal-Mart representative yesterday, the membership-only retail store will open this summer in Oxford.
The city of Oxford spent millions of dollars to raze a 1,500-year-old Native American rock mound behind the Oxford Exchange retail outlet to make way for the new Sam's Club store. The developers working for retail giant Wal-Mart used the dirt from the mound as fill for the foundation of the membership store.
Wal-Mart first announced the plan for the new store in 2008 and when the city started to dig at the site in 2009, it stirred up controversy with its plan to use the dirt as fill for the proposed store. After a few years of back and forth arguments, the city reached an agreement with the Muscogee Creek Nation Indian tribe in 2011. The new Sam's Club store is now completed and scheduled to open on July 24.
"What it's going to be is more prettier than it is today," Oxford Mayor Leon Smith said.
Mayor Smith insists that the Native American ceremonial mound is not man-made and was only used to send smoke signals.
"The City of Oxford and its archaeological advisers have completed a review and evaluation of a stone mound that was identified near Boiling Springs, Calhoun County, Alabama, and have concluded that the mound is the result of natural phenomena and does not meet the eligibility criteria for the Natural Register of Historic Places," Smith stated in a news release.
Native Americans are outraged and have held protests against the mound's demolition. Someone even altered a nearby road sign of the Leon Smith Parkway to read "Indian Mound Parkway."
Local resident Johnny Rollins is furious about the mound being torn down. His Native American grandmother taught him when he was younger, that after she died, he could go on that mountain to talk to her.
"She knew she was going to die. She said any time I wanted to talk to her, go to that mountain. It seems like it's taking part of you away. I always felt I had ties to that there," Rollins told the Anniston Star.
City leaders have changed their story and now claim that they have never used the dirt as fill. But some local residents have witnessed construction workers hauling dirt from the mound to the Sam's Club development site.
"I mean really, I went there, saw the giant trucks deliver the earth straight from the mound to the construction site and I still can't believe what they are doing," local resident Ginger Brook said.
This isn't the first time that the retail giant has destroyed sacred land. Wal-Mart is the biggest offender when it comes to developing on Native American land.

We put together a little celebration of its first twelve months in a nice little blog post, in which I also turned Ben into a rather dashing female icon. Isn't she beautiful?
Please make sure you update your client to the new build, as it irons out a couple of issues that users have been experiencing recently.
In short, 0.0.56.0 includes:
- Upgraded web browser to be more efficient and more stable
- Better handling of SSL error messages
As ever, thanks to everyone that's submitted feedback and bug information.

Once upon a time soap operas were the equivalent to today's primetime reality TV shows. Now the Daytime Emmy Awards were reduced to being streamed Sunday night.

Steve Harvey was the big winner of the night with his wins for outstanding game show host, "Family Feud," and his own self-titled informative talk show, "Steve Harvey."

I want to know if PHP programmers are validated with their Zend Certified Engineer certification. Around me some of them are saying it is very useful, some of them say no. Please clear my mind. Thanks in advance.
I'm not and currently have no reason to get certified, hasn't seemed to harm my ability to get interviews and contracts. I have a few years experience with Zend now so that also helps.
If however you are new to the field it may be something worth getting to seperate you from the crowd.
I think certificates can be useful at the start of your career. However, later on, prospective employers will be more interested in your past projects and experience, than your certificates.
If you are starting out it might be helpful. Otherwise I would save my money. I have been offered many jobs doing PHP (including at Zend) and never had one.
I have the Zend certification. I'm pretty sure no one I have worked for knew what it was.

The Press Ombudsman's Office will, in the first instance, attempt to resolve the matter by making contact with the publication concerned. It will outline your complaint to the editor and seek to resolve it by a process of conciliation. The conciliation process should not take more than about six weeks from the date of receipt of your complaint.
If conciliation is not possible, the Ombudsman will examine the case in detail and make a decision.

The Huskies boast one other top-five seed in Rob Jillard, who will be the fifth-seeded wrestler at 149.

A House Called Awful End by Philip Ardagh.

The City of New York says several cigarette dealers on a Mastic Indian reservation are defying a court order that was supposed to have put them out of business.
Lawyers for the city asked a judge Thursday to find the merchants in contempt of court.
The development is the latest in a legal battle between Mayor Michael Bloomberg and smoke shops on the Poospatuck Indian Reservation.
A federal judge declared in August that the shops' multimillion dollar business in untaxed cigarettes was illegal and had to stop.
Tribal representatives say the stores obeyed the order and shut down.
But the city says at least three owners are still secretly doing business.
The tribe's chief says the allegation isn't true.

After working as a bank teller for several years, Lucio Gomez decided the banking world wasn't for him. Since then he's worked in restaurants in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Newport Beach and Reno – and he's never looked back.
Lucio started his culinary career as a dishwasher in 1984 at a new restaurant called The Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills. An instant hit, The Grill on the Alley would come to establish itself as one of the Los Angeles area's best-known must-do places to dine. In 1987, the founders set out to create a version of the restaurant that would be available to a larger number of people at more accessible prices. And so, just three years later, Lucio was helping the owners open The Daily Grill in Burbank. By 1992, Lucio had moved his way up to the position of Sous Chef with The Daily Grill, which currently has 19 locations in eight states.
In 1997 Lucio moved to Reno and began working at the Eldorado Hotel Casino's in-house Butcher Shop. It wasn't long until he was moved to The Buffet and then The Brew Brothers. He did a short stint at Roxy, but it was at The Brew Brothers where he felt the most at home. Lucio's motto is "no problems, only solutions" and it's that attitude that makes him a proven leader in the kitchen of The Brew Brothers. Guests will often see him manning the pizza ovens and working the line during the lunch rush.

Now I've seen plenty of tutorials and documentation mentioning some of the special characters inside a character class. The hat (^) symbol means negate the following characters if it is the first character in the class.
Ex. [^ABC] means not A or B or C
A lesser known special character is the period (.) Which outside the character class usually means any character except a newline but inside the character class matches only a period.
In the string 123.456
.+ matches the entire string
but [.]+ only matches the period in the string
I say this is lesser known because most of the expressions I've seen escape the period within the character class [\.] While this isn't wrong is also isn't necessary but I think a lot of people think it is.
The only other special character I see mentioned regarding a character class is \b which has a totally different meaning inside the brackets than outside.
But the special character I haven't seen mentioned is the dash (-)
While working on my latest version of my datetime regex I realized something tricky about character classes. I use the dash as one of my three date separators a period or a slash or a dash using the character class [./-] notice that none of the characters are escaped . I mentioned to someone about adding an additional separator, a colon (:), to the class when I realized you can't just add it to the end of the existing characters. [./-:] does not simply add the colon to the previous group of three characters. It also adds all of the digits and removes the dash. Though most may know you can use the dash to specify a range [a-zA-Z] for all the characters in the English alphabet or [0-9] ,for digit zero through nine, are some common constructs. But it's not restricted to being used with only those characters or combinations, those are just used the most. In fact the range can be between any two SINGLE characters. So [&-Z] is perfectly valid to match all digit and upper case letters plus a lot of other characters, like = or @ and others. By default it will just be the range between the two ASCII or Unicode values so you can type in a value or use the ASCII \xXX syntax or Unicode characters with the \uXXXX syntax. The only catch is the second character must have a higher (ASCII or Unicode) value than the first
But here's the tricky part its only a range indicator if it's between two SINGLE characters, or an escaped equivalent of a single character \xXX or \uXXXX. Otherwise it only matches a dash. In my character class used in my datetime regex [./-] it only matches a dash because it at the end of the list of characters. If it was at the beginning it would also work but [.-/] is not the same. In fact the dash doesn't match. I think I realized this in an earlier version of the datetime regex but I didn't fully grasp what was happening. You'll notice I stressed the words 'single character' because as of this writing if the dash is between and character escape that represent multiple characters and a single character a dash matches only a dash
For instance [0-Z] matches a bunch of characters include digits and Uppercase English letters but [\d-Z] matches any digit or a dash or a Z.
The square brackets character class is one of the more misunderstood of the basic regex features. This

The Saga of Taylor Eigsti: A Jazz Prodigy Grows Up
I first heard about Taylor Eigsti (rhymes with "iced tea") around the time he was in fourth or fifth grade. An acquaintance of mine, an accountant by trade, told me that his young daughter went to school with an adolescent boy who was quite a remarkable jazz pianist.
My response was . . . to ignore this unsolicited bit of musical scouting advice from the financial profession. Did I tell him how fill out the accelerated depreciation schedule? Of course, if you write about music, you will find everyone has a friend or a relative who is the second coming of Art Tatum or the next Bird. And what kind of jazz chops could a fourth grader have, anyway?
Pianist Taylor Eigsti
But I paid more attention some time later when Herb Wong told me about the young Taylor Eigsti. Dr. Wong is one of the most reliable barometers of up-and-coming jazz talent that I know. He finds artistry the old fashioned way, by listening widely and deeply – even checking out high school and college bands and indie releases that other critics simply ignore. Even better, Herb's taste is impeccable. He jumps on no bandwagons, adopts no fashionable poses. If he tells me a cat swings, the cat will swing.
About Eigsti, he tells me: this cat swings. (Well, those weren't his exact words. But close enough for jazz.)
He also related the tragedy Taylor had already experienced during his brief life. When he was a toddler, his sister Shannon (a promising musician herself) succumbed to cancer, and then a few years later he lost his father to the same affliction. Faced with challenges that would undermine, perhaps permanently, many youngsters, Taylor not only survived, but eventually thrived. And not just in music, but in sports and academics too.
I got my chance to hear Taylor, a few weeks after this conversation, at an outdoor jazz series promoted by Dr. Wong. Here the youngster was invited on stage to play a few numbers. Eigsti must have been twelve or thirteen years old at the time, and his poise, for that age, was striking. His playing was still a little cautious, but everything he attempted, he pulled off. Although there were several other promising young jazz artists sharing the stage that day, Eigsti was the one who seemed destined for great things.
One of the pieces Taylor played at that concert was a Dave Brubeck composition. A few days later, I wrote a letter to Brubeck telling him about Taylor, and singing the praises of this promising young musician. The ever gracious Mr. Brubeck took an interest and a short while later he invited Taylor (age thirteen) to share the stage with him during one of Dave's West Coast jaunts.
But not all prodigies pan out – especially in the jazz world. Recently, Matt Savage has received a lot of attention, and has a personal story that (like Eigsti's) pre-disposes us to listen sympathetically. Yet, I doubt that Savage will develop into a top notch adult pro. Old timers may remember Craig Hundley from the late 1960s, who was hyped at age fourteen as the next great jazz pianist. But he never realized these expectations, and probably is best known today for playing a bit role on the Star Trek television series. Or there is the case of Sergio Salvatore, who was recording at age 11, and had contracts with GRP and (like Eigsti) Concord. Yet I haven't heard a whisper about him in years, and his web site indicates that his last CD was released more than a decade ago.
On the other hand, there have been former "child prodigies" who later became established jazz artists as adults. They outgrew the label, and few today call attention to their precocious younger days. Keith Jarrett, for example, began giving concerts to paying customers at the age of six. (I cannot confirm the rumor that he told people to stop coughing and put away their Polaroid cameras at this debut performance.) Hilton Ruiz graced the stage of Carnegie Hall at age eight. Steve Kuhn, as I recall, was actually the subject of a formal academic study of musical prodigies when he was a youngster. But the "prodigy" label is now merely a bullet point in the long and illustrious bios of these artists.
And what about Taylor Eigsti?
Fast forward a decade from my first encounter with this pianist, and Eigsti is no longer a child prodigy. He is young man with a fully developed command of the instrument. He is now recording for the Concord label, and his CD, Let It Come to You, was released a few days ago. He is touring actively, composing, even writing works for symphony orchestra.
Anyone who hasn't yet heard this young artist, should track down Let It Come to You. Eigsti makes clear that he has arrived. We no longer need to talk about what levels he might reach in the future. He is playing at a world class level right now. When the discussion turns to the best jazz pianists of the new generation, his name must be in the conversation, and maybe the first one mentioned.
Eigsti has overcome the single biggest obstacle of the prodigy, which is to move beyond assimilating influences and develop a mature and up-to-date approach to the jazz tradition that goes beyond mere mimicry. In truth, many of the most talented musicians I have met over the years have been cursed by their precocious talents. It is so easy for them to imitate everything they hear, that they constantly bounce around from style to style, influence to influence, and never put their own personal mark on the music. If their talents were smaller, their artistry might actually be greater.
But Eigsti is now staking out his own territory. Listen to his reworkings of "I Love You" or "Caravan" on his new CD, and you will hear an artist who respects the tradition, but not too much. His harmonic sense is edgy without going over the edge. His technique is sure, and his sense of dynamics (a weak spot for many otherwise capable jazz musicians) is especially good. He shines as a soloist, but he is also a good listener and knows how to adjust his own pianism to what his bandmates are doing. Yes Taylor Eigsti has arrived but, from another perspective, the journey has just begun.

AJ Allmendinger knows how fortunate he is to have a full-time ride this year in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series and he said during Media Day Thursday at Daytona International Speedway that he is as happy as he has even been. Saturday he hit the track for Daytona 500 practice with a new team and a positive attitude.
"We have the confidence in ourselves that if we get everything right, we can compete with the best of the best," Allmendinger said Saturday in a JTG Daugherty Racing news release. "I truly believe that."
Allmendinger's future was uncertain when NASCAR announced in July of 2012 that he had failed a NASCAR drug test and he was released from Penske Motorsports. To Allmendinger's credit, he accepted responsibility, complied with all of NASCAR's requirements and raced where he could while he worked to rebuild his image.
JTG Daugherty Racing officials announced last August that Allmendinger would pilot the No. 47 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series entry full-time beginning with the 2014 season. "For me, it is an amazing opportunity," Allmendinger said at the time of the announcement.
"I am happy to be back full-time in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series," Allmendinger said Saturday. "I feel lucky; very fortunate to be back full-time and with the JTG Daugherty Racing team.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup drivers will take to the track at Daytona International Speedway Sunday for qualifying laps to determine the two drivers who will start the Daytona 500 from the front row on February 23. The rest of the starting order will be determined during the Budweiser Duels on Thursday.

To the many loyal fans of All My Children,
It appears that the window into Pine Valley will be closed come September. I, along with the rest of our cast, am sad to see such an incredible show come to an end. It's hard to see so many people lose their jobs (we are feeling for those at "One Life to Live" as well), especially people that I consider my extended family. We are all aware of the great sadness felt by our audience over the loss of a beloved show. Your support has meant the world to us. The face of daytime, of television in general, is changing. Of course, life is full of change, and I really believe we must embrace it, welcoming whatever adventures the future may hold. I know that everyone at All My Children is committed to making these last few months as good and as meaningful as possible. I'm excited to see what we produce between now and the end... now is the time to honor the show, honor our audience, and honor the soap opera genre. I hope you'll enjoy the rest of the ride with us. Thanks for being the best fans out there!
P.S. I will be doing a special Q&A related to AMC's cancellation. Submit your questions below and I'll answer them in the upcoming months! (Read Stephanie's Cancellation Q&A!) :)

Tonight's MTV episode of "House of Food," was titled "Cater to the Crowd." As the eight culinary students live together in a house while being trained by three of the country's best chefs, tempers are flaring, and friends from the beginning are no longer friends.
As the episode begins, the entire group is at the Santa Monica Pier having a great time on the rides. When they stop for a bite to eat, Will, Suki and Amanda are at their own table where tension can be cut with a knife. Suki relates that she is not friends with anyone in the house and just does her own thing. Will knows that he is wasting his time if he tries to reason with Suki about the gay remarks she said, after a week of not speaking to her. When Amanda and Will were walking together, he told her that Harrison asked if they would get together again, and he told her it was not possible, and he said if he left there with just one good friend, it was good enough for him.
The next day, Chef Brendan told them they would learn the importance and relevance of catering. Today they were going to work on small bites, loaded with flavor. The first lesson was to make a cold soup made from potatoes and leeks called vichyssoise and serve it with a crostini with scallop tartare. After tasting the two items, each liked them very much. The reason for this lesson is because they will be catering the Los Angeles Auto Show to the elite of the automobile industry. Tomorrow they will present their appetizer to the catering team at the L.A. Auto Show. Chef Brendan told them that four would be chosen from the group and one winner will be chosen from the four.
That night they had to think about all the qualities necessary for them to make five hundred items and be consistent with their presentation. First off, they had to win the competition. After all the prep work, they decided to go out for a drink. Everyone seemed to have a good time but Suki, so Harrison asked if she was alright, and she said she was fine.
On the way back home, Suki asked Will why he tried to throw her under the bus with the seafood competition. She countered that she said the boys were writing things down, which did not include him, meaning he was not a boy, because he is gay. He also stated that when they first met, she stated that she did not like flamboyant people. But he interpreted it as gay, and told Amanda, who has many flamboyant friends. Soon Amanda and Suki were banging on the roof of the van, and Amanda stated how she would like to hit her, but was not getting kicked off the show for her dumb ass.
The next morning, they went to the Auto Show, for their cooking audition. Everyone seemed to be in a neutral mood and when Brendan told them they had 45 minutes to prepare and serve their dishes. They all got to work. They presented their dishes to the staff of the L.A. Convention Center. They were looking for four great appetizers that represent, Los Angeles, California and local cuisine. They are looking for items that are tasty, easy to eat and look great. Jake made a BBQ wonton with a mustard slaw on top; it was good, but they needed something that would be eaten in one bite. Harrison made an arancini with Bolognese sauce; they loved his sauce and asked if it was the vegetarian, he stated no, but he could make it vegetarian. Amanda made a spicy BBQ beef biscuit, a takeoff of her original Barbie cake that she bombed on in the beginning, they said it was dry, but the spices made it better. Suki made a deviled egg with crispy chicken skin on top, although deviled eggs are on many catering menus, this topping gave it flair. Will made California grass-fed beefsteak tartare, they liked it but warned against raw meat. Brian made a Kobe beef skewer, and he was prepared to make sure it did not get dry. Gillian made a rosemary crème brulee, the judges suggested it be made in a spoon to make it easier to eat. Lorena made a goat cheese crostini with seasonal fig and prosciutto crisp which the judges loved.
When they chose the four, they chose Lorena, Harrison, Brian and Gillian. Back at the house, Suki asked if she could steal Will for a minute, so the two of them went to the room and spoke like human beings. They tried to state their cases and why they were upset. When she stated about flamboyant people, she meant Lorena, and it had nothing to do with sexuality. Now Suki found out that Amanda knew all along why Will was upset, but never told her. She feels that it was evil of her to do that, and guessed that she wants Will all to herself. Although this may soothe things over now, they both know that things will never be the same.
The next day was the event prep, and emotions were put aside, as all hands were busy with the preparations. Chris came to tell the four winners that as executive chefs for this event, they were all going to wear chef jackets.
As the day arrived, each one had help from the entire group. This is now a team effort and although not happy, the non-winners helped out the winners. When they arrived at the venue, some of Gillian's crème brulee did not set and Chef Brendan ordered everyone to help her make it right. Fortunately, they all helped and the crème brulee were completed in time for the event. The four non-winners and the winners were busy filling the trays for the next serving. Brendan was an awesome expeditor, as the chefs were marching to his tune. After the food was served, the three chefs came in to announce the winner. It was Lorena, who won her first challenge. Congrats, her grandmother will be so proud.
As with every event, the next step is to clean up, and although Chef Brendan tried to trick her into thinking she won a car, it was a lame try. However, despite cleaning up, each one was on the same team, and they got the job done on this episode of the "House of Food,"

The room was pulled together around the Breakfast at Tiffany's painting that my husband painted for my birthday. It inspired the wall color, chandelier, and collection of mercury glass. I love the combination of the delicate, jewelry-inspired details with the chunky table and rug. This room is a good representation of us. We worked on everything in this space together, from painting the walls to completely restoring the vintage chandelier. -Domino

Quality brings benefits to the Company and to the Customers
By user792579 on Mar 11, 2013
This is not me saying that... There are tons of case studies and reports, for instance have a look at this article.
This is not me saying that... There are tons of case studies and reports, for instance have a look at this article.
Some breaking news from CNN... After reading, let me know if my "Amatriciana" is more appetizing or not... Dear fellow colleagues from Japan, please advise, as well!
It reads like a palate-pleasing menu...
You start out with a truffle soup, followed by oysters and then a main course of flounder with risotto and vegetables. There's a side of potatoes and you finish it off with a scoop of ice cream.
Here's the twist -- this all comes with a generous helping of dirt. Not normal, backyard variety dirt, special nutrient-rich soil.
The unique tasting menu is the creation of Toshio Tanabe, a former gymnast and boxer turned culinary inventor. Tanabe says the dirt menu was a logical addition for his quaint restaurant, Ne Quittez Pas, which is located in Tokyo's Gotanda neighborhood.
"This is a seafood restaurant, so we have the flavors from the ocean," he says. "I was also looking for flavors from the earth."
But this is not the typical dirt you'd find it your backyard. It comes from a garden wholesaler, which provides the high quality soil, taken deep beneath the earth's surface -- 10 meters down, in fact.
Germaphobes can take some comfort, perhaps. Tanabe tells us the soil is first lab tested, and then heated to extreme temperatures, to kill off any bacteria. After that process is complete Tanabe will work it into his menu.
This special fare is certainly not dirt cheap. The set course is about US$110 per person.
And how does it taste? According to one adventurous eater, who wished to remain anonymous the night of our visit, "I didn't think it would be real dirt. I was a bit nervous. But it was a subtle taste."

Police in Little Rock are to start periods of strict enforcement for drunken drivers, especially the younger ones.
The first stepped-up enforcement event runs Friday through March 17, and the second is April 12-21.
The department says those times coincide with proms and graduation ceremonies, when young revelers may be more likely to get behind the wheel while impaired.
The agency says TV and radio ads will reinforce a message of zero tolerance for drunken driving by people under 21.
The limit for drunken driving in Arkansas is a blood-alcohol content of .08 percent or higher, but for drivers under 21, the limit is .02 percent or above, a much stricter standard.
Also, police will be enforcing the legal drinking age of 21.
