Major U.S. airlines announced further 2011 capacity cutbacks to cope with the dramatic rise in fuel prices, and Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL-N) said higher oil and the effects of the Japanese earthquake will hurt earnings in the current quarter.
"We're not anticipating any significant moderation" from current high fuel price levels, Delta President Edward Bastian told a JPMorgan investor conference Tuesday.
Carriers have steadily boosted fares this year as $100-a-barrel US oil threatens to wipe out the industry's recovery from the 2008 and 2009 economic downturn. Airlines are reporting higher demand, but costs are also rising.
Oil prices eased Tuesday on an expected slowdown in Western air strikes on Libya. But NYMEX crude (CL-FT), which is directly tied to jet fuel prices, was up nearly 1 percent at $103.32 in late morning trading.
Delta currently estimates its fuel bill will rise about $3 billion for this year. That will result in a hit to first-quarter earnings. Bastian said the airline expects an operating margin of negative 2 to 3 percent for the period.
On Tuesday, airlines disclosed more plans to reduce flying in the face of uncontrollable jet fuel costs.
US Airways Group Inc. (LCC-N) said its fourth-quarter system capacity would be down as much as 2 percent from previously expected levels, and Delta said it would scale back capacity both internationally and in the United States in the second half.
Low-cost domestic carrier Southwest Airlines Co. (LUV-N) said its capacity plans for this year have not changed, but Chief Executive Gary Kelly said higher oil had forced the discount carrier to raise ticket prices.
Delta said many of its capacity actions were focused on the trans-Atlantic market, where revenue was falling short and costs were rising. Though better revenues were expected in that region starting in the spring, capacity will drop markedly in the fourth quarter.
Lost revenue from effects of the March 11 Japanese earthquake will also pressure results in the short term, airlines said.
AMR Corp.'s American Airlines (AMR-N) cited a "modest decline" in revenue from Japan.
And Delta, which operates more flights to Japan than any other U.S. carrier and generates a bit over $2 billion a year from the Tokyo market, estimated the business impact of the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and their aftermath could range from $250 million to $450 million. It is cutting capacity to Japan by 15 percent to 20 percent through May.
"Over the next 2 to 3 months we will undoubtedly see some fairly significant drop-off in demand and drop-off in bookings" tied to Japan, Bastian said.

… as opposed to being blind drunk!
Love is Blind Experience definitely befits its name – an amazing experience. Imagine enjoying a five-course meal without being able to see anything, particularly what is on your plate or in your glass (or even where your plates and glasses are!).
On Friday night, Willow Park Wines & Spirits hosted an evening in support of Alberta Guide Dog Services and pairing M. Chapoutier wines – the only wine bottle labels in the world to include braille – with delicious dishes, to heighten our awareness of the need for funds.
On arrival we were welcomed with a glass of Chapoutier Belleruche Rosé, a delicate blend of three Rhone Valley grapes, Grenache, with Cinsault and Syrah that produce a dry rosé with hints of strawberry. A lovely start to the evening.
MC Michael Bigatini explained the format of the evening, and we were introduced to several guide dogs before putting on our beautiful Italian masks with a strip of felt to completely cover our eyes.
Dinner commenced with an appetizer plate, which, when we felt our way round, contained spoons and a shrimp. Wine was poured for us and our hands were guided to the glass of creamy wine with a hint of citrus and delicate flowery notes. Bigatini asked if we thought it was a white or red wine - our table was correct in plumping for white. It was Bila Haute Blanc, a blend of grenach blanc and grenach gris.
I was able to discern that the shrimp was wrapped in salty meat before being cooked and that there was a scallop with a mango salsa, but you really have to concentrate on the flavours and textures to guess what you're eating and drinking!
It was hard to tell what the protein was on the crostini for the 2nd course, capers and Parmesan were easy – but we didn't get Beef Tataki! It was delicious with the Belleruche Rouge, mostly grenache with 20% syrah for a fruity medium-bodied wine with berry flavours.
Our 3rd course of ribs was so delicious I almost licked the plate! And paired well with Chapouter Bila Haut Occultum Lapidem with grapes from Roussillon. It's a rich, full-bodied wine, soft on the palate, with currant, mocha and rosemary flavours amongst many more.
The cheese course followed, and we weren't able to guess the cheese! If I'd seen the Shropshire Blue, I would definitely have known what it was but not blind! And joyously paired with Les Meysonniers, one of my favourite 100% Rhone syrah wines, with a distinctively old-world style.
Dessert of Zabaglione was paired with Beaumes de Venise, no mistaking this wine for me. Records of its use go back almost 2,000 years! Spicy, silky, apricot-y and elegant this rich 100% muscat wine is fortified with spirit.
What a magnificent and memorable experience, congratulations to all involved!

I have a little issue and it may be quite simple to fix. I need to Ghost some computers (locally) and now, it seems to be really hard to have several computers to boot from floppy. Sometimes the floppy is not detected (Old PC) and doesn't boot from it. So I need to create a Ghost image from a HDD.
I use Disk to Disk when ghosting from an IDE HDD but I'd like to change it to Disk from Image. My issue is it's a linux, IDE HDD, and I have a laptop with Windows 7. I also have a USB adaptor for IDE HDD. I'm trying to find a way to create a Bootable CD from the HDD connected on my laptop with the USB adaptor. Is it possible to do this? What would be the best way to do that?

2014 Grammy Awards: Best Comedy Album nominees
• I'm Here to Help, Craig Ferguson
• Calm Down Gurrl, Kathy Griffin
• Live, Tig Notaro
• That's What I'm Talkin' About, Bob Saget
• A Little Unprofessional, Ron White
History will be made in the Best Comedy Album category at the 2014 Grammys. Since 1963, only two women have won the award: Lily Tomlin in 1972 and Whoopi Goldberg in 1986.
This year, we predict a new name will be added to that list of triumphant females. Tig Notaro is the heavy favorite to capture the award for Live, which has already achieved legendary status within the comedy community.
Notaro's album was recorded in 2012 at Largo. She walked on stage and opened the show with, "Hello, I have cancer!" From there, her raw, personal set was both painful and hilarious as she somehow got the audience laughing while finding the humor in her battle with cancer and her mother's unexpected death.
"It's going to be ok," she assured the concerned audience at one point, before earning raucous laughter when she quickly added, "It might not be ok. But I'm just saying it's ok."
Louis C.K., a Best Comedy Album Grammy winner himself, was in attendance that night and called Notaro's set "one of the greatest standup performances I ever saw." He immediately agreed to distribute the performance on his website, which eventually led to a formal release on Secretly Canadian Records.
The Grammys have a history of choosing questionable winners, but it's hard to imagine them screwing this one up. Fortunately for Notaro, the Comedy field is wide open this year – there's no George Carlin or Chris Rock guaranteed to win based on name recognition alone.
Notaro's competition is Kathy Griffin, Craig Ferguson, Bob Saget, and Ron White. They're all solid comedians, but none can possibly compete with Notaro's soul-baring recording. Notaro's peers will reward her with the Best Comedy Album Grammy.
Should win: Live, Tig Notaro
Will win: Live, Tig Notaro
Should have also been nominated: The Wack Album, Lonely Island

Mariners Blog
Geoff Baker covers the Mariners for The Seattle Times. He provides daily coverage of the team throughout spring training, and during the season.

Sexson, Mariners go down to defeat
Posted by Geoff Baker
ADDITIONAL NOTE: To members of "Baghead Nation" who frequent this site, please be advised that the Mariners have announced that the July 19 home game will no longer be televisised nationally. Nor locally. No television at all. Thought you might be interested. On with the post...
In fairness to Richie Sexson, if this was indeed is final at-bat at Safeco Field -- or for the Mariners -- he did go out with a hit. In fairness to the fans who've waited nearly 1 1/2 seasons for him to find his power stroke again, the final Sexson hit, in the eighth inning, was merely a single. It wasn't enough to bring home any runs for a team needing plenty of them tonight. And that single was missing in a pair of earlier at-bats in which Sexson came up with two on and less than two out. But he did go out with a hit tonight. And his team went out...well...with barely a whimper. An 8-3 loss to the Florida Marlins. The Mariners once again out-hit their opponent. But that doesn't matter. It only matters when you get the hits with runners in position to score. Sexson couldn't. His teammates, other than Jeremy Reed, Raul Ibanez and Willie Bloomquist (once each), also couldn't when it really mattered. And the result is another home loss on a 1-5 homestand. Another series defeat in a season long since lost. If this was indeed Sexson's farewell, this is how you'll remember him from 2007 and 2008. Standing at first base at the best of times -- both on defense and offense.
Sexson remained in a back room, one that is off-limits to the media, for more than a half-hour after this game was done. He finally emerged, spotted a media member waiting, turned around and headed back through the off-limits area and out a rear exit.
I caught up with Jose Vidro, who had three singles tonight, but knows he hasn't produced enough. Vidro told me the players are all waiting for moves to happen.
"I think it's going to happen,'' Vidro said. "I think sometimes, with these things, that whatever happens, hopefully they're going to make a decision soon instead of waiting.''
There's no point keeping the players on pins-and-needles, he said. With half a season to go, the team can't afford to have everyone distracted by moves most people expect. Better to get them over with.
Vidro is well aware he could be part of those moves. The team could keep him around as a switch-hitting, pinch-hitter who can get you a single late in a game. Or, it can dump Vidro and free up playing time for others.
In the past, Vidro has hit well in certain NL cities like Atlanta, where the team opens a nine-game road trip on Friday. Vidro has yet to be told how he'll be used. There is no DH in these upcoming games and first base is sometimes an option for him. But manager John McLaren has been working others out at the position and has yet to tell Vidro what his plans are for him.
Vidro assumes McLaren has been too busy with all of the week's events to worry about one player. And Vidro insists he isn't worrying about his own fate.
"I've got more important things to worry about,'' said Vidro, hitting just .219 with virtually no power despite the three hits. "I've got to start hitting better. That's more important to me. Worrying about that other stuff, what could happen to me, is not at the top of my list right now.''
At the top of McLaren's list is figuring out how to get hits with men on base. Another 13 hits by the Mariners tonight, bit only three runs. That's 26 hits in two games, most of them singles.
"I'd like to have some power with some guys on base,'' McLaren said. "You'd love the three-run homer, believe me.''
Sexson is supposed to be the three-run homer guy. He came up, as we mentioned, twice with two men on and the chance to get his team back in it. He barely hit the ball 60 feet.
When he did get his lone hit, it was yet another single.
The writing's on the wall.
Not for R.A. Dickey. He gets one more chance in the rotation for now. Dickey felt he had a decent knuckleball but struggled with his release point all night. McLaren wants to see how Dickey does in more humid weather.
Would like to see his team do better, no doubt.
But when the power guys are all singles hitters, sometimes you just are what you are.

Hardware companies would love for us to believe that, in their very heart, they are tweakers and gamers just like us. When we
"identify" with them, we feel better about breaking out the credit
cards. This usually means a PR team talking it up while handing out
some gaming Tshirts at a trade show. Then there is Sapphire, who has
stepped up to the plate with their factory water cooled TOXIC X1900XTX --and let it quietly do all the talking.
a reward for working on pedestrian (read boring) family sedans and
minivans, automotive engineers sometimes get to work on sexy high
performance sports cars--the cars they dreamed of building and driving
as kids. Sapphire Technologies must have had that inner child in mind
when they turned their hardware engineers loose on the TOXIC X1900XTX
to put some of the enthusiasm back in "enthusiast".
Sapphire invited us to review the TOXIC for launch day, I had no
shortage of staffers willing to have a go at this water cooled--check
that--FACTORY water cooled uber video card--obviously, everyone is
excited about it. Sucks for them as I pulled rank and opted to
review it myself =)
In addition to the usual driver CD and users' manual, the TOXIC
comes bundled with the Software Select CD--Sapphire's answer to the
debate on whether or not to include games. Rather than passing on games
altogether, or including a game you might already have, they give you
two unlock codes and 4 games to choose from--Brothers in Arms (Road to
Hill 30), Prince of Persia (Warrior Within), Richard Burns Rally, or
Tony Hawk's Underground 2. I really like this approach, and I hope it
gains some STEAM in the industry.
included are copies
of Cyberlink's PowerDVD 6, Power Director
4, and Sapphire's
"TRIXX" overclocking utility. If you happened to notice that the card
in the contents shot above is not a TOXIC but is, in fact, a
Sapphire X1800GTO-- don't panic--my TOXIC review sample box was
lacking the
other items so I subbed in the image of the GTO that we are currently

A compilation of many previous posts plus some new comments has been made into a long feature and published in the print edition under the headline So, How Many Jews will Vote for Mitt Romney?
The extended article ends with the following paragraph:
If Romney gets half the votes of undecided Jews, he'll be at 34 percent. That is, if you agree with the estimated 25 percent Jewish Republican voters, and the estimated 18 percent of Jewish votes in play. If you go by the exit poll (22 percent of Jews voted McCain in 2008) and add to it the lowest estimate of votes in play (I heard 12 percent), the Romney ceiling is a much lower 34 percent, and the likely Romney achievement (if he gets half of the Jewish votes in play) will be at around 28 percent of the Jewish vote. When was the last time that any Republican nominee got 30 percent or more of the Jewish vote? Reagan in 1984. It would be no mean feat if Romney were able to get more votes than McCain, George W. Bush (twice), Dole, and George H. W. Bush, and repeat the 1984 Reagan vote.
This - as the knowledgeable Ira Forman was quick to note - might lead the readers to the wrong conclusion. Yes, if the first scenario presented above does materialize, Romney might get the highest percentage of Jewish voters since Reagan. But if the Romney nomination follows the second scenario – 28% - his numbers will definitely be lower than those of Bush 1988, and higher only from those of Bush 1992 (that's why I wrote "twice" for GWB, but didn't write "twice" for GHWB. And by the way, I don't really believe Bush got 35% of the Jewish vote that year, probably closer to 30%).
A few interesting things to note as we compare Romney 2012 to Bush 1988:
1. Bush was running against a candidate who was never very popular with Jewish voters, and was the successor of a President who was (relatively speaking) quite popular among Jews – Reagan got more than 30% of the Jewish vote twice. Romney is running against a candidate who was very popular among Jewish voters, and has no predecessor - immediate or other - to give him a boost.
2. On the other hand: Bush was a moderate Republican and Romney is a moderate Republican. Less frightening for Jewish voters than other Republican options.
3. The Romney Jewish vote can easily shift with the choice of the candidates' running mates. If it's another Palin, some Jews will flee from Romney.
4. You might not remember this, but the polls in 1988 were highly inaccurate – or maybe it was the public that was highly confused. During the summer, Dukakis seemed for a while as the very likely winner against Bush. And only after the GOP convention did reality start to sink in. We don't yet know the story of the 2012 election, but when it comes to the Jewish vote, there's a big difference between 30% of Jews voting for a losing GOP candidate, and 30% of Jews voting for a winning GOP candidate.
5. With winning candidates, it does happen from time to time: GHWB, Reagan, Nixon, Eisenhower. But the last losing GOP candidate to get more than 30% of the Jewish vote was Hughes (1916). So, if Romney gets 30% or more, and Obama gets reelected, this will be the end of a very long tradition.

Washington vs. USC
Washington Coach Tia Jackson
Opening Statement: "It's a big disappointment. We had the game. I am already playing back things in my head that had different situations, again how would it have turned out. Maybe a different play call or maybe a different defense. I am one of those coaches that will pick myself apart. I'm sure I will look at this game two or three times before we start practice tomorrow and say 'what could we have done differently.' I know one thing that just stands out right away. When we came down in a transition D a few times they isolated our guard who was sprinting back, getting back as a safety on defense, in comes 13 LaPlante burying our point guard in the paint for lay-ups. The next thing you know, there is a big on the shooter. They exploited that very well. I look at it and say we had a lot of very good individual play. We shared the ball extremely well, but I know they would give all those points and rebounds and everything back if we could have this victory tonight."
On Ashley Corral's shooting: "We knew it was coming. We knew it was coming. She is a kid who wants to take over the game. She wills the game and she has the green light at any given moment. I just think there was a couple times that maybe our hands should have been up a little more. We should have assessed her a little quicker, finding where she was on switches and on our defense. Hands down she is a good player. She made some good reads finding those pockets in the corner to nail those three's."
On Sami's performance: "It was nice, but I know I gave her a challenge to start. To get 10 boards and she got 11. We will call that a highlight. Her numbers look great, but like I said we had a lot of them. Kristi had great numbers too, but I know they would give them all back if we could have the W. I know they would. It is great for the individual performances, but I know neither one of them could have done it without their teammates."
Washington Guard Kristi Kingma
On frustration from losing: "It has been nice this year. We have been able to pull out the close ones, especially at home we have been able to come back from those deficits. Against the Arizona schools we did a really good job with that. I think there is a lot of good things we can take from this game, especially building into UCLA. Regina is diving on the floor. Morty (Sarah Morton) was making the extra pass and our bench was fired up. I think it is disappointing."
USC Coach Michael Cooper
On the game: "We aren't built on our offense and we know it. Our defense wasn't playing that well, but they hit some big shots. I think Whitcomb was on fire and Kingma was on fire. They hit some shots they were supposed to hit. The thing about us is that we stayed with our defensive concept and it finally took hold in the second half."
USC Guard Ashley Corral
On what caused her scoring outburst: "I think it kind of just took defense. Bri (Briana Gilbreath) got a couple of steals. We got up and pressured. I think that just changed the whole flow of the game. Once we start getting flows, our defense like coach said just builds on our offense. Defense builds confidence and I just think that is what helped us. On her playing in her home state: "It's great. I get to see my family. Some of my friends come from middle school and people I used to play with all the time. I used to play with Kristi Kingma back in the day for a very long time. It is always nice to come up and play in my home stat and see my family.

According to BleacherReport.com and the Chicago Daily Herald, the Chicago Blackhawks are using former UMass All-American and L.A. Kings goalie Jonathan Quick as a comparable player to goalie Antti Niemi who led them to the Stanley Cup this past season in an arbitration hearing to be held today. Niemi reportedly wants in excess of $3 million per year, while Quick, considered one of the rising stars in the NHL, currently makes $1.9 million. The stories both mention that the stats for both goalies are close, but what ultimately set the Blackhawks on the path to the championship was all around depth.
Jon Quick + Depth = Stanley Cup Championship According To Chicago

Dressed in flowing green silk, Cassia slips through the night on a train bound for her Match Banquet, the evening she's been waiting for her whole life. It's the Match Banquet for her best friend Xander, too. She's nervous. He isn't. But that's the way Xander is. He's confident, friendly, and kind—practically perfect. The girl he's matched with will be very lucky. When the matches are created, the Society carefully examines and matches all the data. Your match could be anyone from anywhere in the entire Society, but it will be your perfect match. Your only choice will be whether to marry the person the Society chooses for you, or whether to stay single.
So when Cassia stands up after they've called her name, she's shocked when the large screen doesn't light up with the face of a young man. It stays blank. The odds are entirely against it, but it can only mean one thing. Her match isn't someone from a far-away province. It's someone she already knows.
Ally Condie has created a carefully regulated dystopia in "Matched," the first of her trilogy. The Society seems flawless, but tumultuous currents of rebellion are twisting beneath the smooth surface. The infractions are tiny at first, like a trickle of water, but they gain strength and momentum as more citizens come to realize they have to break the bonds of their choiceless lives. Is perfection too high a price to pay to never be free?

'Virus' soon to control human brains?
Keywords:virus human minds
Hessel claims the day is not far when hackers could engineer viruses or bacteria to control human minds. "This is one of the most powerful technologies in the world. Synthetic biology—the writing of life. I advocate that cells are living computers and DNA is a programming language," DailyMail quoted Andrew Hessel as saying.
Hessel predicts a world where prople can "print DNA, and even decode it." On the other hand, that this can also be used to solve global challenges so that humanity can achieve a sustainable relationship within the biosphere, he claims.
He even warned that viruses and bacteria send chemicals to human brains; and thus, could someday be used to influence, or control them. In addition, Hessel warns "people may have to learn how to counterattack against such weapons."
Synthetic biology is a new area of biological research that combines science and engineering. It encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies, and disciplines with a variety of definitions. What they all have in common, however, is that they see synthetic biology as the design and construction of new biological functions and systems not found in nature. [Source: Wikipedia]

Through the first two periods it looked like smooth sailing in the Sunshine State; as the Colorado Avalanche took on the Florida Panthers on Friday. The third however, was a whole different story.
Staked to a three-goal lead entering the third thanks to goals from Ryan O'Reilly, Paul Stastny and Jamie McGinn; the Avalanche surrendered two tallies by Florida forward Scotty Upshall in the final frame. They survived a late barrage of shots to hang on for a 3-2 victory.
"We were outstanding in the first two periods; unfortunately the third was not as good," said Avalanche coach Patrick Roy. "This is something we have to be better at."
Both goals were assisted by defenseman Tom Gilbert; who was originally selected by the Avalanche in the fourth round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft. He was later traded to the Edmonton Oilers in 2004 in exchange for backup goaltender (and close friend of former Av Peter Forsberg) Tommy Salo and a sixth-round draft pick.
The Avalanche were outshot 20-6 in the third period, but goaltender Semyon Varlamov came up with some big saves; allowing only two goals on 36 shots.
The game marked the return to action for Avs forward Alex Tanguay; who had missed the previous 36 contests with hip and knee injuries. Much like P.A. Parenteau did in his return Tuesday against Toronto; Tanguay contributed immediately offensively, chipping in with an assist.
"I was very happy with him," Roy said of Tanguay. "He moved the puck well. He's a difference-maker. You know the difference when he's out there."

The Randall RH150G3 introduces the evolution of hybrid guitar tone.
The upgraded G3 Series is now powered by the new Valve-Dynamic™ power circuit providing professional level performance at a practical price. With the addition of Valve-Dynamic™ power, the new G3 series amps are a serious contender in the pro market. Equipped with a tube driven MOSFET power amp, purist's will fine the new G3 tone surprisingly percussive, lush, and full, where the traditional hard core metal fan will be deep in tight punishing low end and razor sharp mids and highs. With 150 Watts of power, the RH150G3 has plenty of power for larger clubs. If you're shopping for power with serious performance do yourself a favor and see what dynamic tone you've been missing.
Randall RH150G3 Head Features
The Power of Valve-Dynamic™.
Breaking the tone barrier between Tube and FET has been a challenge to most amp designers for a long time. But, during the recent development of the new V2 and T2, Randall made several ground breaking discoveries that allowed us to narrow in as to why tube power reacts and feels so much differently than a traditional solid-state power amp. Those discoveries, as you'll hear this year, resulted in the revolutionary new Valve-Dynamic™ power section.
Incorporating a single 12AT7 tube to drive a large Mosfet output circuit, this highly advanced power circuit has a natural compression which clips extremely soft at higher volumes reacting very much like a traditional power tube. The key or secret to this new circuit however, was capturing or emulating the true frequency response curve of a standard power tube which has very unique characteristics to that of solid-state power amp. Randall's new Valve-Dynamic circuit not only captures a tubes reactive qualities, but also the warmth, feel, and musical character of full tube power amp, but with the durability of a 400-Watt Mosfet power amplifier.
Not only is Valve-Dynamic™ power found in the new G3 series products but also the V2 and T2 models.
Full specs coming soon.

The order of this week is disorder. Not the trivial disorder of a closet, or a work in progress; this week is the unraveling of the self that comes with separating from someone you love dearly. It is the subject of: poetry, theater, film, literature, dance, visual arts and music — all forms of music from opera to rap. This is for all of you who have mothers' and fathers' close to death, and you don't want them to leave.
Adults protect you from the brutality of death when you're very young. They keep it behind locked phrases like "she had to go away to a better place; you'll understand when you grow up."
The camouflage of death may go on indefinitely until one day, you are hit over the head with a block of ice, and it splits you right down the middle. You can see your guts spilling out, and everything is all out of order. Walking is an effort. Thinking clogs with the big question: Why? Why can't we all stay here together and live forever?
Flashback to 1966 — I was very young, not so much in years, but when I was 13, my mental and emotional age were more of an 8-year-old. I don't know if I was ADD or DDT because those acronyms were not in vogue yet. My development was arrested because I was raised on a fantasia of false identities, fiction, and privledge. I thought we were rich, happy, and would live together forever. The fantasia of falseness was abruptly taken away on June 19, 1966. On that day, I saw for the first time, my father weep uncontrollably. I was told my mother was in heaven. My father was seated on my mother's avocado green sofa in our tidy mid-century apartment in Westwood. Nana — mother's mother — was seated on the sofa next to my father. Nana and Dad had reconciled for the period of time my mother was sick with cancer. They both were sobbing. I was not. There was nothing inside of me but resistance, a blockage of emotion that remained there for so many years.
I was left in my father's care. He was busy out chasing government subpoenas' and running the Fontainebleau Hotel in Florida. He kept a command post on my emotions. He would not tolerate my grief because he could not tolerate his own. So, I had to chin-up, chest out, walk up and down Doheny Drive in Hollywood where he lived and pretend I was going to be fine.
When I turned 18 and left my father's apartment was the first time I was free to unravel my feelings. The emptiness filled with confusion, anger and drugs. If college was supposed to be my best years, then I missed that chapter. Looking back, the real leap to personal growth came at that time when I was left unattended to wander through life with my own eyes as guardian, and my heart as my compass. That is when I missed my mother the most. It was my fortune to have my father back in Los Angeles, throwing his weight around from a distance. He kept me under radar by having a friend's son working in the admittance office of Sonoma State College.
I remember days when my mental attitude needed electric shock therapy. Miraculously, I did find my way home, and to the matter of my mother, and growing up with gangsters. From a wafer of stability, very slowly, I've built a nice lifeboat to keep me afloat. My screaming, cantankerous, and intimidating father who loved me beyond measure is in this imaginary boat, and my mother who loved with a silent gentle hand she gave to me whenever I needed assurance.

This Little Piggy Pays for College
Food & Swine.
In Houston, a 278-pound castrated male pig just made a dream come true. At the city's annual livestock show and rodeo, an oinker named Kipper — who has a street value of $150.00 — was auctioned off for $178,000. Why? Good ol' Texan philanthropy. Kids who raise animals are offered enough money for college in this annual fund-raiser, which sounds like a lot more fun than a bake sale, even with bacon-sprinkled brownies. [NYT]

Perl 5 wiki
Lars Dɪᴇᴄᴋᴏᴡ 迪拉斯 <daxim <at> cpan.org>
The [official Perl 5 wiki](http://p3rl.org/wiki) has recently become unusable for its original purpose, see the [announcement](http://use.perl.org/~schwern/journal/33751). It is currently impossible to register as a new user. I sent an email to <support <at> socialtext.com> six days ago and have yet to receive an acknowledgement/reply/fix. I am looking for a champion to take up the cause: investigate what's going on and keep nagging so that access to registration is restored. In case we cannot get satisfaction in a reasonable time, let's consider cutting ties. Some initial thoughts: * Export everything, tools available from <http://search.cpan.org/~lukec/>. * Evaluate Perl wiki softwares and import. Should support [Wiki Creole](http://enwp.org/Creole_(markup)) and [Markdown](http://enwp.org/Markdown) syntaxes for editing. Usability must pass mst's opinion as "not crap". Must not have URL cruft. Insert your own favourite bikeshed colour here. * Find a reliable host for the software: Perl NOC/digital craftsmen/speedchilli/etc. * Ask [Perl NOC](http://noc.perl.org/) for `wiki.perl.org` CNAME. * Send webmasters of perlfoundation.org and socialtext.net some configuration snippets for their Apache httpd and nginx so that the legacy URLs permanently redirect to the new ones.

Transitioning To Your Own Data Center
It is very important for your initial plan to include one or more points earlier in the growth curve that is the trigger for the decision to transitioning away from a co-lo or hosting operation and into your own data center. This will avoid having to over expand in a co-lo or hosting operation while your new data center is being built. Once you have seen the rate of growth in the new territory reach a certain point, the earlier you are prepared to move ahead to build or buy your own data center, the more cost effective it will be.

London Overground rail workers get 25% Olympics pay rise
09:58 02 December 2011
Hundreds of workers on London Overground rail services are to get a 25 per cent pay rise for working during the Olympics.
The Rail Maritime and Transport (RMT) union has called it a "groundbreaking" deal for its members.
The agreement will see additional pay for station, conductor, train care, fleet maintenance and revenue staff with "an enhancement rate" of 25 per cent paid for shifts during the Olympics and Paralympics.
Staff will see a minimum gross payment of £650 which could rise with additional shifts and overtime.
The union says the deal is in "exchange for some flexibility of work patterns" during the Olympics.
General secretary Bob Crow said: "This deal recognises the value placed on transport workers in delivering an effective Olympics and is a good deal for RMT members, the travelling public and Olympic visitors alike.
"It's a common sense approach in planning ahead for the Games. It means that our members will get a minimum additional payment of £650 with the scope for more.
"This agreement quite rightly recognises and rewards the additional efforts and flexibility required of RMT members during the Olympics to benefit passengers on London Overground routes serving the key hub at Stratford.
"The agreement shows the importance of the workforce having a skilled and experienced trade union on their side in negotiating the best deal possible to the mutual benefit of everyone involved."
The deal is one the best so far for employees working during the Games and beats the £500 bonuses for Network Rail staff.

Top Acts Performing at 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival
Most people associate the legendary and mythical sasquatch or yeti with the Himalayas. However, people living in Washington, more often than not think of something else when the word 'sasquatch' is mentioned – they think of the Sasquatch! Music Festival.
The Sasquatch! Music Festival has been held every year since it was originally founded in 2002 by Adam Zacks, a Pacific Northwest-based concert promoter. Zacks decided to establish the festival shortly after he moved to the area from Oregon to be closer to family and friends. He saw that there was a need to establish some sort of festival here that catered to the diverse tastes of music enthusiasts living in the area. In order to fill this need he created the Sasquatch! Music Festival and the rest, as they say, is history.
The 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival will follow the same sort of pattern employed at the festival in previous years. The emphasis will be on indie music, bands and singer-songwriters, though room will be made for alternative rock and hip hop. Three separate festival stages will provide audiences with a good view of the artists. The stages are known as the Sasquatch! Main Stage, the Yeti Stage and the Wookie Stage. The Yeti Stage will be used exclusively to showcase artists from the Pacific Northwest. The entire event is presented by the House of Blues.
So far the lineup for the 2009 Sasquatch! Music Festival is really good, with bands like Jane's Addiction, Ben Harper and Relentless7, Kings of Leon and Nine Inch Nails headlining at the event. Other bands and artists you can expect to see at the Sasquatch! Music Festival include The Decemberists, King Khan & The Shrines, Shearwater, Passion Pit and Erykah Badu. There will also be a comedy line up at the event which will see the likes of Demetri Martin, Zach Galifiankas, Todd Barry, Jon Benjamin and People's Republic of Komedy take to the stage. The event is scheduled to take place on Memorial Day weekend, which is on May 23-25, at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington. Tickets will be available for purchase from February 28, so book early to make sure you don't miss out!

Neither of us have damaged hair, but I still like to use the Split-End Repair Capsules because it leaves my hair super-soft and touchable. We rinsed the Scalp Massage and Hair Treatment out and then applied a capsule to each other's hair. We left that in for the remainder of the bath to let it work its magic.
Speaking of HOT, we really steamed things up giving each other massages with the Ginger and Seaweed Body Massage Cream. I rubbed him all over with it, and then we switched places. Let's just say that what happened next was no surprise. (I'm not going to spell it out! I do keep some things private, and after all, my mother-in-law reads my blahg!)

Living in Northern Indiana has its many advantages. It has beautiful lakes, great state parks, and a real sense of community. But with the winter drab of February, many get the "itch" to get outside. Rather than complain about it, why not get some fresh air! Get off that couch!
There are many ways to be active in Indiana in the winter. Sure, it is no Denver, Colorado, but you have to work with your own resources. Try these activities:
1. Rent shoeshoes or cross country skis and hike/glide through a state park.
2. Enjoy the Toboggan slides with friends and family.
3. Safely shovel snow or volunteer to help someone else.
4. Bundle up and go for a walk. Even though it is chilly, if you are wearing the appropriate clothing a nice walk in the daytime (so people can see you) can be invigorating and refreshing.
Fresh air is great for your lungs (and your sanity). Get outside today and give your body something it will totally enjoy! What is your favorite winter activity?

When shopping for a home security product in Ree Heights, SD, you'll find lots of empty sales speeches from companies claiming to keep your family totally safe, and your valued belongings safe from theft. But when these companies fail to deliver on their promises, all you get in return are excuses and blame. By having an ADT Monitored Home Security System in South Dakota, you're protected by ADT's three levels of security and satisfaction guarantees.
You may think that you can't afford a professional-level home alarm system in Ree Heights, but the truth is that you can't afford NOT to have one.

With all the high tech security features that are included with an ADT Monitored Home Security System in Ree Heights SD, in addition to the underlying technology, you might assume that their home alarms are very complicated and come with a lengthy user manual. However, ADT has created an innovative product that utilizes the best in state of the art home security technology, without being overly complicated for the average user. If you have concerns about not being able to use an ADT Monitored Home Security System because it would be too difficult to use, put your mind at ease.
ADT Security is widely-known as the Defacto standard in Ree Heights home security services. For this very reason, most burglars won't even attempt to step foot into a home that has a "Protected by ADT" window decal or yard sign. Most criminals are going to do everything they can in order to avoid getting caught, so you can lower the odds of becoming a victim just by displaying the fact that you have the #1 award-winning security alarm safeguarding your South Dakota residence.

Halloween doesn't have to be a nightmare for your children's teeth. Trick or treaters will come home with a seemingly endless supply of candy, but parents can take steps to manage the deluge of sugary snacks.
This year, we asked Dr. Jeff Wood, chair of the Pediatric Department at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, for his advice to parents on how to cope with Halloween candy and safeguard their kids' teeth.
"A technique that works well is to have kids pick out a few of their favorite types of candy, and parents can discard the rest — or give it to local food banks," says Wood.
He also cautions that while all sugar is bad for teeth, certain kinds of candies can be more damaging than others. Caramels, gum, taffy and similar candies are the worst perpetrators.
"Chewy and sticky candy is especially bad for teeth as these types of candy stick to the tooth's surface for a prolonged period of time," explains Wood.
But ultimately, the best thing a parent can do is keep an eye on their kids' consumption of candy this Halloween. If candy is thought of as a treat, and not something that can be eaten throughout the day, the child will be forming healthy habits.
"The key is to monitor when kids eat candy, how much and how often," says Wood."Parents should make sure that candy is a special treat, not a substitute for healthier snacks and meals. I always suggest that a good time for parents to allow kids to eat candy is after a meal."
Halloween signifies the start of the holiday season, a hectic time of year for most families. Dr. Wood suggests that parents use Halloween as a reminder to schedule dental appointments before the busy season.
"Children should see a dentist by the time they are age one, and after that should see their dentist once every six months," he says. "Prevention is absolutely the best approach when it comes to caring for your kids' teeth."
Other recommendations recently distributed by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry include the following tips for parents:

With the NFL lockout still continuing, articles pop up everywhere about groups of players gathering to hold informal summer workouts. Tania Ganguli of The Florida Times-Union has a story on several Jacksonville Jaguars, including UMass' Jeremy Cain, and how their player workouts have been going.
Cain missed this particular practice, however, because he was out of town.
Normally, long snapper Jeremy Cain drives up from Fort Lauderdale to practice with them on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week Cain is on his honeymoon in Hawaii.

text: Greetings, Excuse what perhaps is a newbie question... I have had Win32 TightVNC installed for some time connecting from predominantly W2k Pro to other Pro workstations and 2k Servers. I have one issue I have not been able to answer. If I connect on a local lan, open notepad or dos edit, the cursor control (up,down,left,right) work fine. If I connect from home over net, open similar apps, cursor control keys do not work. The connection is fine and all other keys work. I have installed this straight out of the box. The only difference as recommended by others, on local lan I have settings for Hextile and Tight over net. Switching to either Tight/Hextile does not make a difference. For the life of me I cannot figure why this condition exists...I'm sure its probably a short between my chair and the keyboard. Any clues or suggestions on where to look a would be most welcomed.

Types of Paving Stones
Different Types of Pavers
No matter what type of project you are planning that involves pavers, from a simple job, laying pavers to create a patio area, or a more complex project like paving around your pool and spa, there are many types of pavers to choose from, many of which are better for certain applications than others. Pavers differ in price as well. We suggest utilizing one of CalFinder's approved contractors for a paving job that is guaranteed to be trouble free.
A manufactured product, brick pavers are made with cement, sand, fine aggregates and water, which is mixed together and fired in a kiln at high temperatures to produce the finished product. Known to last a lifetime, brick pavers are highly versatile, durable and strong.
The myriad benefits of concrete pavers include their unlimited styles, colors and designs, low maintenance, durability, safety, strength, versatility, adaptability to all weather conditions, flexible integrity, and ease of installation and repair. Interlocking concrete pavers offer flexibility, moving in unison with the earth below them, thus avoiding serious damage.
Naturally occurring stone pavers are mined from quarries, or collected from a rock outcrop. Because they are not manufactured, as concrete and brick pavers are, stone pavers have different qualities than concrete and brick and are often more expensive than their manufactured cousins. But, they are still the most popular choice for all external paving needs.
By definition, interlocking pavers connect in such a way that each of them keeps the others from moving around. Most commonly made with cement or concrete, this type of paver is the easiest to install because they don't require mortar. They practically install themselves. Using sand as a base and to join together, interlocking pavers cover any patio, decking, driveway or walkway.

It has a critical importance regarding the conflict of Western Sahara because the (then) minister of foreign affairs and current president of Algeria, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, asked US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to "stop economic and military aid", which would have meant an embargo on Morocco. This file concerns the whole Maghreb region, and particularly Morocco-Algerian relations, and was the basis for the top story of the Moroccan newspaper Tel Quel (www.telquel-online.com) on Saturday, December 19, 2009.

There are so many health benefits in beverages made out of broccoli sprouts. And one more health benefit is that a broccoli sprout beverage enhances the detoxification of air pollutants. That's what happened in a clinical trial in China. The findings, a study, "Rapid and Sustainable Detoxication of Airborne Pollutants by Broccoli Sprout Beverage: Results of a Randomized Clinical Trial in China," published in the June 9, 2014 online edition of the journal Cancer Prevention Research could pave the way for low-cost food-based pollution-prevention strategies as well as getting the health benefits of drinking broccoli sprouts pureed into a beverage. Diets rich in cruciferous vegetables, of which broccoli is one, have been found to reduce risk of chronic degenerative diseases, including cancer. But don't eat too many all the time, since they stimulate the thyroid gland. (See Cruciferous Vegetables and Your Thyroid - Clean Cuisine and More.) Too many cruciferous vegetables can negatively impact an unhealthy thyroid gland, say researchers at the George Mateljan Foundation, a nonprofit research group. The family of vegetables that can affect the thyroid include cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Cooking the cruciferous vegetables, however, can reduce the effects of the ingredients that harm the thyroid. But when you cook the vegetables, it also destroys the cancer-preventing and detox qualities of the raw broccoli or other cruciferous vegetables. So the answer is balance.
In the research published online June 9, 2014 in the journal
Cancer Prevention Research that looked at air pollution detoxification from drinking a broccoli sprouts drink, a clinical trial involving nearly 300 Chinese men and women residing in one of China's most polluted regions found that daily consumption of a half cup of broccoli sprout beverage produced rapid, significant and sustained higher levels of excretion of benzene, a known human carcinogen, and acrolein, a lung irritant.
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, working with colleagues at several U.S. and Chinese institutions, used the broccoli sprout beverage to provide sulforaphane, a plant compound already demonstrated to have cancer preventive properties in animal studies.
"Air pollution is a complex and pervasive public health problem," notes John Groopman, PhD, according to a June 16, 2014 news release, "Broccoli sprout drink enhances detoxification of air pollutants in clinical trial in China." Groopman is an Anna M. Baetjer Professor of Environmental Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and one of the study's co-authors. "To address this problem comprehensively, in addition to the engineering solutions to reduce regional pollution emissions, we need to translate our basic science into strategies to protect individuals from these exposures. This study supports the development of food-based strategies as part of this overall prevention effort."
Air pollution, an increasing global problem, causes as many as seven million deaths a year worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, and has in recent years reached perilous levels in many parts of China. Last year, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified air pollution and particulate matter (PM) from air pollution as carcinogenic to humans.
Diets rich in cruciferous vegetables, of which broccoli is one, have been found to reduce risk of chronic degenerative diseases, including cancer
Broccoli sprouts are a source of glucoraphanin, a compound that generates sulforaphane when the plant is chewed or the beverage swallowed. It acts to increase enzymes that enhance the body's capacity to expunge these types of the pollutants.
The 12-week trial included 291 participants who live in a rural farming community in Jiangsu Province, China, approximately 50 miles north of Shanghai, one of China's more heavily industrialized regions. Participants in the control group drank a beverage made of sterilized water, pineapple and lime juice while the beverage for the treatment group additionally contained a dissolved freeze-dried powder made from broccoli sprouts that contained glucoraphanin and sulforaphane. Sixty-two men (21%) and 229 women (79%) with a median age of 53 (ranging from 21 to 65) years were enrolled in the study. Urine and blood samples were taken over the course of the trial to measure the fate of the inhaled air pollutants.
The research team found that among participants receiving the broccoli sprout beverage, the rate of excretion of the carcinogen benzene increased 61% beginning the first day and continuing throughout the 12-week period. In addition, the rate of excretion of the irritant acrolein, rapidly and durably increased 23% during the 12-week trial. Secondary analyses by the investigators indicated that the sulforaphane may be exerting its protective actions by activating a signaling molecule, NRF2, that elevates the capacity of cells to adapt to and survive a broad range of environmental toxins. This strategy may also be effective for some contaminants in water and food.
"This study points to a frugal, simple and safe means that can be taken by individuals to possibly reduce some of the long-term health risks associated with air pollution," notes Thomas Kensler, PhD, according to the news release. Kensler is a professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School and one of the study's co-authors. "This while government leaders and policy makers define and implement more effective regulatory policies to improve air quality."
The clinical trial targeting prevention is notable in that it evaluated a possible means to reduce the body burden of toxins following unavoidable exposures to pollutants
The majority of clinical trials involve treatments of diseases that have already presented or advanced into later stages. Further clinical trials, to evaluate optimal dosage and frequency of the broccoli sprout beverage, are planned in the same general region of China. This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health (P01 ES006052 and P30 S003819). Safeway, Inc. donated the lime juice used in this study.
Authors of the study are: Patricia A. Egner; Jian Guo Chen; Adam T Zarth; Derek Ng; Jinbing Wang; Kevin H Kensler; Lisa P Jacobson; Alvaro Munoz; Jamie L Johnson; John D Groopman; Jed W. Fahey; Paul Talalay; Jian Zhu; Tao-Yang Chen; Geng-Sun Qian; Steven G. Carmella; Stephen S. Hecht; and Thomas W. Kensler.
If you decide to eat broccoli sprouts or liquefy them in your blender and drink as a beverage, be sure the sprouts are free from the type of harmful bacteria that you read about in the news whenever sprouts of any type are recalled. Or sprout broccoli yourself at home in an environment you can control. Then again, a drink made from broccoli sprouts is healthier than many drinks other than plain water that you find at food markets and restaurants.
You also may wish to take a look at the abstract of another study, published in April 2009, "Dietary Sulforaphane-Rich Broccoli Sprouts Reduce Colonization and Attenuate Gastritis in Helicobacter pylori–Infected Mice and Humans," published in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.

Veteran cornerback and New Orleans native Keenan Lewis was the biggest offseason free agent acquisition and he quickly showed during Friday's first practice session why he will be critical to improving the Saints defense.
Lewis came up with two impressive pass breakups in coverage during 7-on-7 drills during the morning session. And then during team scrimmage he came up with a nice interception of a Drew Brees deep ball to third-year wide receiver Joseph Morgan. Lewis never allowed Morgan to get behind him which gave him excellent leverage for the interception.

im in a bit of a dilemma with toby. because ive been at the hospital all the time the other liveries have been taking care of them both. one lady had tied toby up while mucking him out and was walking around when all of a sudden he just lashed out and kicked her twice in the calf. once i could of forgiven but twice is way too much of a problem to ignore. what if it was one of my kids? i told my OH and he was furious.he said i have to sell him asap and hes refusing to let the kids anywhere near him. i know toby is not the same pony anymore, hes def got a screw loose and i dont know if i can trust him around people anymore. to be honest i havnt really got the time or the money to spend sorting him out. its so heartbreakng as i knew how lovely he was before he was sold. my oh said if i dont sell him before clitheroe hes taking him there. i really dont need this at the moment with everything else thats just happened. i can completely understand where my oh is coming from though. what can i do?

Talk to the person Toby kicked and find our what happened. Maybe a dog or loud noise spooked him. However if you really can't trust him with the children it would be better to sell him. I had a heavyweight cob who crushed my daughter against a stable wall and damaged her spine. You really do have to have animals you can trust where children are concerned.
i phoned her last night when i got back from the hospital and she said she he was quite happily munching on his hay and she went outside the stable to get the fork and he just spun round and kicked twice really fast at her. luckily she wasnt badly hurt, if that was one on my kids it would have caught them in the chest or worse.its such a shame with all hes been through, hes improved condition wise over the last few weeks.

Don't do anything in haste. This is not the time for making decisions like that. I do think your OH is being a bit knee jerk, though I am not minimizing the seriousness of what Toby did. I don't know when Clitheroe is (I presume it's a sale?) but you don't need this hassle when you are grieving. If you can take a bit of time to evaluate all this dispassionately, then you will make the right decision. If that is to sell Toby, fine but don't be railroaded at a vulnerable time. It never rains, but it pours, as they say.
thanks guys, the lady at the trekking centre wants to have a look at him, she seems very interested in him, hes a superstar to ride but is just just sometimes on the ground hes a little bugger, if hes up there he wont be handles by kids just the staff and he should be fine. im taking him up there this week when the snow goes. ive got until 6th march until clitheroe so we'll see.poor toby. none of this is his fault. he was so lovely when i had him the first time round.

Dont risk your kids around him if he is liable to lash out whatever the reason. Hopefully the trekking people will take him,

Cherry Almond Dutch Baby
Adapted from Sunset Magazine
Let's talk about almonds for a minute: I think those waxy, often stale, and flavorless cream-colored discs sold as sliced almonds are absolutely terrible tasting — from the package. But I buy them anyway because they are so magically transformed by toasting, becoming crisp, sweet and intensely fragrant, that I want to put them on everything when I'm not eating them straight. Please, do not go easy on your almonds; spread them on a tray, bake them for 8 to 10 minutes at 350, tossing them around once or twice for even color, and not taking them out until they're deeply golden brown. Make more than you'll need so you'll have them for everything else (like broccoli slaw!).
* This contains my favorite vanilla bean ice cream recipe. This buttermilk ice cream and this fennel ice cream would be equally wonderful here or wherever else there is baked fruit if your tastes veer from the purely traditional.
Serves 2 generously or 4 petitely
3 large egg
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (more or less to taste)
Pinch of salt
4 tablespoons butter
2 cups pitted sweet cherries
1/2 cup sliced almonds, well-toasted
Powdered sugar
Lemon wedges
Heat oven to 425°F. Whisk egg, sugar, flour, milk, extract and salt together until the batter is blended but lumpy; you can also do this in a blender. In a 12-inch ovenproof frying pan, melt butter. Add cherries and cook until warmed, about 2 minutes. Pour in batter and transfer to heated oven. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and rumpled-looking. (I err on the side of more cooking time with these pancakes, because I find the longer, within a range, they cook, the more rumpled and golden they get.)
Remove pancake from oven and quickly scatter with toasted almonds, dust with powdered sugar and squeeze lemon juice over. Serve in wedges, piping hot.

Fashion Goddess Rachel Zoe will not be debuting her Fall 2014 collection with New York Fashion Week due to her newborn son Kauis Jagger. Zoe, who was scheduled to present on February 13th gave birth to Jagger last December and is enjoying taking care of her two sons a little too much to deal with the chaos of Fashion Week. She told WWD magazine on Jan 31st about her decision:
"While I look forward to New York Fashion Week each season, I've made the difficult decision to move our fall 2014 runway show from Feb. 13 in New York to a later date in Los Angeles. As a new mother, my newborn son is too young to travel with me, and I'm unable to leave him for the amount of time required to appropriately prepare for the show in New York."
The Bravo reality star also sent out personal emails to ticket holders apologizing for her future absence according to Sheknows. The 43 year old planned on debuting a line of "French bohemia with mod elements," which is not unusual for the chunky jewelry lover.
NYFW will still go on beginning February 6th with other designers debuting such as Alexander Wang and Michael Kors.
