The description says the income depends on how many cars are crashed in the game during the week. Does it mean that making cars explode (by shooting at them) will increase my income from the junkyard?
The Car Scrapyard gives you $150 dollars for every car you destroy. You do not need to take the cars to the scrapyard itself.
This is paid out each game week on Monday morning (00:00).
I've just tested this by blowing up two cars on the highway at 23:00 on Sunday. My earnings email for the week came shortly after indicating I'd made $300.
For every car you destroy you get 150 per week. Mine has capped out at 5000 per week though.
Yes. Shoot or do whatever you want to a land vehicle until it explodes, and then you get 150 in game dollars at the end of the virtual week. My profits per week seem to stop at $5000 though.

You've become a pro at Girl's Night Out. You have even mastered the art of the quick change, eliminating the need to go back home after work. So it's no wonder the Paper Wallet ($varies) appeals to you. It is sleek, chic, and oh-so-slim. So slim, in fact, that it fits perfectly in the back pocket of your skinny jeans. Each wallet is printed with an artist's custom design, making your Paper Wallet a true work of art. Sure, it's made of paper, but it is rough and tough, almost impossible to tear*. Built with a pocket for cash, a couple of card/ID holders, business card flaps (always networking, like a boss), and two extra flaps for all those numbers you collect, this functional and fashionable slim-fit accessory is a real friend.
*All-out testing is up to you. We like ours too much to try.

Is my baby having swallowing problems?
Rachel Smith is a speech language pathologist on staff at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale. She can be reached at (602) 865-5838.
Question: Sometimes it seems as though my newborn is coughing and gurgling too much during his feeding, which is obviously concerning. How I can tell if my child is having swallowing problems and how are these problems diagnosed?
Answer: The notion that a young child may have problems feeding or swallowing can be a frightening proposition for any parent. After all, such problems may lead to dehydration, poor nutrition, aspiration of food or liquid into the airway, frequent respiratory infections, and choking, among other complications.
Feeding and swallowing problems can affect children of all ages, especially children with complicated medical histories. There are, however, a variety of signs and symptoms that parents can look for when their child is eating and drinking:
- coughing and choking
- gulping
- a "gurgly" sounding voice
- difficulty breathing
- flaring nostrils
- poor latch and seal on the bottle
- food refusal
- poor weight gain
- frequent vomiting
- recurrent pulmonary infections.
Parents who recognize any of these symptoms or suspect that their child has difficulty feeding or swallowing should talk with the child's health care provider to determine if further evaluation is necessary.
When further evaluation is warranted, speech pathologists, who are feeding and swallowing experts, are often brought in to help assess and identify ongoing problems.
One of the most common ways to diagnose feeding or swallowing disorders in children is through a modified barium swallow test. This test is a moving X-ray of the child's mouth and throat while they eat and drink various foods and liquids. Modified barium swallow tests allow speech pathologists to evaluate the child's oral feeding skills, as well as the anatomy, timing, and functioning of his or her swallowing structures and mechanisms. From this assessment, it is possible to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan.
A modified barium swallow test can be performed on patients of all ages, from infant to elderly, provided the patient is medically fit to participate. In other words, the benefits of performing the test should far outweigh any potential risks.

Estimates & Predictions: Smartphone Market share
Posted by Hezi Saar on August 16th, 2011
In my last blog post I covered Smartphone growth and referred to the inflection point in the Smartphone market where Nokia lost its #1 spot to Apple.
Moreover, Samsung took the #2 position showing 56% growth from last quarter (Q1 '11) and leaving Nokia to the #3 spot.
Here's more color on this topic illustrated in a graph based on information provided by IHS iSuppli (Aug, 2011). The graph shows market share estimates for the past quarters and also compares to Q2 of last year to show trends.
I noticed that the 'others' category is expanding from 10% last year to > 20% market share this year, this can be contributed to more success of smaller as well as local players that are able to innovate.
Take a look at Motorola at the #6 position with 7% growth from sequential quarter, as it will be interesting to see where the recent Google acquisition will take it in the quarters (and years) to come.
I think it is safe to assume that Google will grab market share in the long run but it won't happen overnight. I don't believe RIM will continue its decline much longer and it's a matter of time until it turns it around and take more market share. M&A activity could shuffle the cards in this volatile market, with Microsoft on the sideline it will be (and it is) interesting to watch.
Let me know what your prediction is, as we will be visiting these numbers every quarter.

I have been looking for a synth for literally years but nothing really jumped out and grabbed me. I really like the Q and the Virus, they're 2nd on my list and I came close to getting one of those, but when I finally got to play with an A6 I fell for it instantly. In minutes, I was making it do things that took me hours to do in front of a Q. The interface is so beautiful, with so many knobs it's maybe a little intimidating at first, but actually couldn't be simpler to use. Once you go through what each "module" is/does (LFO, OSC, PRE MIX, FILTER, POST MIX and ENVELOPE) that's all there is to it, it is really simple. The most important settings have a dedicated knob or button, that means there's no scrolling through menus to find the parameter you want to edit, just turn the knob, it's awesome fun and very good for live application. And if you dig analogue you probably already know 80% of what you need to know already anyway. But if you want hardcore, there is also a VERY comprehensive Mod Matrix for the REAL studio programming buffs. I'm also using it as a midi master controller, I threw my old cheapo midi keyboard in the bin! All those beautiful knobs transmit midi AND that big fat ribbon on the front does too and it's THE best tool for filter sweeps ever invented! All THAT and I haven't even mentioned the sound! You have to hear it to believe it. Words don't do this justice. My friends are asking me what I've done recently to make my music sound so great.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
deCODE biostructures received a five-year, $13.5 million collaborative subcontract from the Seattle Biomedical Research Institute (SBRI) to establish the Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Diseases (SSGCID).
SSGCID, which will include scientists from SBRI, deCODE, the University of Washington, and Battelle Northwest, hopes to generate a collection of experimentally determined structures of protein targets from pathogens causing emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases.
"The SSGCID collaboration will leverage deCODE's platform for high-throughput protein crystal structure determination from the computer-aided synthetic gene engineering to the determination of high-resolution ligand-bound protein X-ray crystal structures," says Lance Stewart, Ph.D., president of deCODE biostructures.
The SSGCID funding will also enable deCODE to more than double its X-ray data collection throughput with the addition of new automated in-house X-ray instruments and regular access to tunable synchrotron X-ray data collection beamlines, reports the company.
SSGCID will annually select high-impact targets for a fragment-based drug-lead discovery campaign within the center. In this endeavor, deCODE biostructures will apply its Fragments of Life™ library technology for fragment-based lead identification to selected well-diffracting crystallized targets of high biomedical relevance. The resulting fragment-bound target cocrystal structures will provide ligand binding information as starting points for structure-based drug discovery.
The SSGCID says that it will make its structures freely accessible to the worldwide scientific community through the Protein Data Bank.

It has been called "the new game of tennis." One on One Doubles is a format that combines singles and doubles and just may be the best aid to help club players' games.
In this alternative version of tennis, One on One Doubles is played by just two players. Matches are played on a diagonal basis with a line drawn down the middle of the court from the service line to the middle of the baseline.
The server must serve and volley on the first and second serve with the half volley allowed. The receiver may move forward or stay back and hit ground strokes. The play is entirely cross court with the alley in play.
The driving force behind One on One Doubles is Ed Krass who was once the Head Assistant Men's Coach at Clemson University, working under Chuck Kriese from 1984-86. During that time, Krass learned from Coach Kriese a doubles drill that became One on One Doubles.
At later coaching jobs at Harvard University and in World Team Tennis, Krass continued to use One on One Doubles as serve and volley drills for various players. In 2004, Krass started a series of One and One Doubles tournaments in Tampa, Florida.
In 2012, a One On One Doubles Pro Tournament featured former ATP players, Murphy Jensen, Johan Kriek, Mikael Pernfors and Tim Wilkinson. Krass would like to see the WTA, ATP and World Team Tennis add One on One Doubles as a special event.
This alternative tennis can benefit players of levels. As Krass explains, "It is such a nice mix between singles and doubles and it brings back the all court, serve-and-volley game."
Since the 1870's, tennis has been the singles and doubles versions we know. Krass would like to add a third option. As Krass said,
"What I am saying is that One-on-One Doubles is a new alternative game to singles and doubles. You have got the doubles game and singles, and I would like this to be known as the third viable form of competition."

Researchers at Ohio State University found certain components of marijuana to be beneficial for the aging brain, as they were proven to reduce brain inflammation and regenerate dead brain cells. Such information may come as an astounding fact to many, as it is the complete opposite of what we have been taught in regards to marijuana's effect on the brain. The common notion that marijuana impairs memory function and kills brain cells is turning out to be quite contradictory to the truth, meaning public schools and organizations we trusted to help us were, in reality, harming us by robbing us of a truth that could save our lives in the future.
This research would be an especially exciting breakthrough for those affected by Alzheimer's, as Alzheimer's is thought to be the result of a chronically inflamed brain, if the government miraculously woke up and ceased to deny human beings of their rights to healthy lives by nationally legalizing marijuana. Furthermore, this research offers a potentially major breakthrough for those with late stage neurological Lyme disease (neuroborreliosis), as a vast majority of debilitating symptoms caused by the disease stem from inflammation of the brain.
Due to its ability to regrow brain cells and reduce brain inflammation, it is quite possible marijuana will be, and always has been, the perfect antidote to neurodegenerative diseases. One can only hope others will continue to bravely speak out about the benefits of marijuana in an effort to give future generations a shot at a health care system, and ultimately a quality of life, unparalleled to our own.
**Although you may know a habitual smoker who seems to suffer from memory loss, it is important to note that said benefits of marijuana were achieved using extremely low doses. Researchers discovered a single puff a day is enough to provide an individual with significant, long-lasting health benefits.

In the hours before millions watched the Super Bowl, word quickly spread that the supremely gifted actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman had died in his West Village apartment in Manhattan, less than 10 miles from Metlife Stadium.
Described by New York Times journalist Bruce Weber as "perhaps the most ambitious and widely admired American actor of his generation", Hoffman had been battling drug addiction 23 years. Sources indicate the Oscar-winning actor was found with a syringe in his arm, several full bags of heroin, additional syringes and prescription medications.
As news broke out early Sunday morning of his death, friends and countless fans shared their disbelief and sadness through social media. What resulted was a nearly universal sense of adulation in paying homage to an actor described as "a genius", " a brilliant, talented man" and "one of the greatest actors of all time".
With heartfelt condolences to his family, here is a list of 10 of his finest and most honored films.
1. Capote (2005)
His portrayal of the acclaimed American author Truman Capote, best known for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "In Cold Blood", won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2006, in addition to the Golden Globes Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Drama, BAFTA Award for Best Actor, the SAG Award and Satellite Award. The film was also among the nominees for Best Picture of the Year but lost out to surprise winner "Crash", in a year "Brokeback Mountain" likely lost due to its controversial storyline.
2. The Master (2012)
Hoffman's last Oscar nomination was a film inspired in part by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. Although the film was not a box office success, Hoffman in the supporting role of Lancaster Dodd, the leader of "the Cause" and Joaquin Phoenix in the role of Freddie Quell, an alcoholic WWII Navy veteran, were both nominated for their roles as a lead actor and supporting actor in 2013 by the Golden Globes, Academy Awards and BAFTA Awards. Co-star Amy Adams was also nominated for all three awards in the Best Supporting Actress category.
3. Doubt (2008)
Hoffman delivers a powerful performance in this film set in the 1960s at a Catholic church in the Bronx, New York. Portraying Father Flynn, he is wrongly accused by a distrusting Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) of an inappropriate relationship with a young member of the congregation. The film also stars Amy Adams and Viola Davis and all four principal actors were Oscar nominated for their exceptional performances.
4. Charlie Wilson's War (2007)
Based upon a true story starring Tom Hanks in the lead role as Texas Congressman Charlie Wilson and Julia Roberts as Joanne Herring, his ex-fiancée, Hoffman's role was as the CIA agent Gust Avrakotos. After developing a business partnership with Charlie Wilson, the pair provided arms to Afghan freedom fighters that helped withstand the Soviet invasion, ending nine years of war in 1989. Hoffman was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor in 80th Academy Awards but rightly lost out to Javier Bardem for his remarkable portrayal of a psychopathic hitman in "No Country for Old Men".
5. Almost Famous (2000)
Based upon the autobiography of the film's director, Cameron Crowe, the film also stars Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup and Frances McDormand.. The late film critic Roger Ebert described the comedy-drama as the best film of the year. In his role Lester Bangs, a noted rock music journalist for Rolling Stone, Hoffman firmly displays his versatility as an actor and his most famous line from the movie was "the only true currency in this bankrupt world is what we share with someone else when we're uncool". Ironically, the real Lester Bangs was also a victim of a drug overdose and died at the age of 33 in 1982. The film won Cameron Crowe an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film – Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes.
6. Magnolia (1999)
In the role of Phil Parma, Hoffman is a deeply caring hospice nurse assigned to care for a former TV producer Earl Partridge (Jason Robards in his final film), who's dying of cancer. Before the cancer patient passes away, Parma is successful in locating Partridge's long lost son Frank Mackey (Tom Cruise). For his lead role in the film, Cruise was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Golden Globe in 2000. Hoffman won a National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actor.
7. The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
At the National Board of Review Awards, Phillip Seymour Hoffman was the winner of the Best Supporting Actor not just for Magnolia but also for his role as Eddie Miles in "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Based upon the 1955 novel by Patricia Highsmith, it was the first of five novels based upon the lead character portrayed in the film by Matt Damon. In his role as a rich socialite and friend of Dickie Greenleaf (Jude Law), Miles is suspicious of Greenleaf's new friend Ripley and sadly gets himself murdered.
8. The Savages (2007)
Displaying his comedic side, Hoffman co-stars with Laura Linney as siblings who were drawn apart after years of abuse from their father, Lenny. Later in adult life, the two are informed by Lenny's longtime girlfriend she can no longer care for him and is dumping the ailing father onto his family, who eventually place him in a nursing home. The storyline doesn't exactly come off as material for a comedy-drama but Hoffman was nominated for a 2008 Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. The film was among the multiple winners of the 2008 American Film Institute Award for Movie of the Year.
9. Boogie Nights (1997)
Set in the Disco era of the late 1970s-early 80s, Hoffman is portrayed as Scotty J, a gay production assistant for a porn studio with a misguided love interest in actor Dirk Diggler (Mark Wahlberg). Scotty J humiliates himself after trying to kiss Diggler, who quickly rejects him. Scotty J's ensuing reaction is so emotionally charged, it's one of the film's most unforgettable moments.
10. The Big Lebowski (1998)
In the lead role, Jeff Bridges portrays a shaggy, pot-smoking Jeff Lebowski aka The Dude, who's mistaken for another guy aka the Big Lebowski (David Huddleston). Although Hoffman's role as the straight-edged personal assistant to the Big Lebowski was minor, it was spot on and easily one of his funniest movies. Written and directed by the Cohen Brothers, the film was one of the year's most memorable films and has since acquired a large cult following. The Big Lebowski also starred John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, Tara Reid, and John Turturro, in the unforgettable role as the trash-talking bowler Jesus Quintana.

Bob Dorough: The End of a Love Affair
The End of a Love Affair
Bob Dorough (piano, vocals)
Songs of Love (Universal 2001)
Bob Dorough (piano, vocals), Art Farmer (flugelhorn), Bill Takas (electric bass), Al Levitt (drums).
Composed by Edward C. Redding.
Recorded: live at Caruso's and L'Auditori, Barcelona, Spain, March 4-6, 1987
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
It should come as no surprise that when Art Farmer joined forces with Bob Dorough's trio for some 1987 gigs in Barcelona, Spain, the results were inspirational. Dorough and Farmer brought out the best in each other, both being such astute interpreters of the Great American Songbook.
Dorough always includes the verse if available when he sings a tune, as he does here for "The End of a Love Affair," delivering it in an engaging singsong manner before smoothly entering the chorus. Farmer first appears for his flugelhorn solo, played with a wonderfully rounded tone, and during which he executes some sparkling head-turning runs. Dorough's piano follows with a bluesy emphasis, typically linear and lyrical. Takas and Levitt are in lockstep in their driving support, and Takas, that most tasteful of electric bassists, also provides a thoughtfully concise solo. Dorough returns to scat the chorus in unison with Farmer, an agreeable, unexpected touch, and then he once again does eloquent justice to composer Redding's endearing words. The line "And the tunes I request are not always the best, but the ones where the trumpets blare," definitely does not refer to any of Dorough's and Farmer's performances in Barcelona that March of 1987.

Songs of the Week (November 17th, 2012)
Information of the songs released last week and this week.
Depending on which particular version you're familiar with, the joke entitled "A Man in the Desert" totals in at approximately 10,000 words, thus giving rise to its more well-known title of "The World's Longest Joke." At the risk of spoiling the particularly superb punchline, let's just say that if you're acquainted with the joke that the ending uncannily relates to the timeliness (or perhaps lack of) when it comes to this front page post. However, such delays should be expected when it comes to this time of year: if you're like myself or any number of the other FFR denizens who are either actively pursuing or have already achieved a post-secondary diploma, you should know all too well that the tail end of November represents the dreaded era of due dates. Now is the time when libraries and student centers graciously open their doors and invite students to hole themselves up within their depths well into the godless hours of the morning, when professors and teaching assistants alike become swarmed either whenever or if they ever dare to peek their heads out into the public domain, and when the dedicated learner attributes the notion of "fun" in relation to themselves as being as about as likely to occur as going into a cupcake shop and not finding at least one incongruously placed and overly tattooed person working behind the counter. In dire times such as these it's important to take the occasional break or two, to remind yourself that there does in fact exist a world outside of your dimly-lit study hall, and what better way to be granted relief from the world of bibliographies and multiple choice questions than by enjoying this week's release of new FFR songs?
C'est la Vie by Protest the Hero (dore) – Very Difficult [51] / 3:29 / Rock / Metal
Louder!! Louder!!!! Louder!!!!!! by The Quick Brown Fox (AlexDest) – Master [70] / 1:19 / Dance2 / Gabba
Lunar Eclipse – a nation of moon #6 by guna (DarkZtar) – Very Difficult [47] / 2:32 / Misc / Instrumental
Pollyanna by Furries in a Blender (YOSHl) – Novice [7] / 0:42 / Classical / Piano Remix
Unicron Barbeque by XACKSECKS (I like it) – Guru [80] / 2:31 / Secret / Dancecore
My Little Pony Medley [Heavy] by Renard (megamon88) – Expert [65] / 1:45 / Skill Token / Happy Techno
We kick off this week's batch of files with C'est la Vie, a Protest the Hero song stepped by none other dore. If history has taught us anything it's that the five and a half other files that have been brought to us by the dream team of dore and Protest the Hero are ones that have more often than not been met with polarizing reaction: either people love the files to death and play them over and over into the long hours of the night, or they're met with such scorn and disdain that players immediately begin weekly contributions to a secret savings account that in time will grant them enough money to cover the cost of flying out to wherever dore lives and giving him a piece of their mind in person. Regardless of your opinion on the song or the steps, players will nevertheless be treated to a high energy, head- and hand-bangingly intense piece in the usual Protest the Hero style. The file features copious amounts of stream and relatively soft layering (save of course for one particular stretch near the end of the file) that should make for a challenging yet enjoyable experience for intermediate players. Veterans can head over to the Rock section if they wish to give this one a try.
Do you have a short attention span? Do you want to hit so many arrows in such a brief period of time that you'll be left wondering what just happened? Are you up to the challenge of facing upwards of twenty-three notes per second? Have you earned yourself the title of FFR Veteran? Well then indulge your desires with our next file, Louder!! Louder!!!! Louder!!!!!! Created by The Quick Brown Fox, one of Renard's numerous aliases, and lovingly stepped by AlexDest, this extremely fast-paced file will keep even the most prodigious of arrow-smashers on the edge of their seats. Imagine the faster and denser section of All Y'all Bitches cranked up a notch and without the relief of the softer sections in between and essentially you'll have LLL. Jumps, bursts intermittent with quick stream runs and a particular malevolent ending that can only be described as the musical equivalent of the song title's twelve exclamation marks should prove to be a formidable adversary to any player to say the least.
If you're searching for a piece that's a bit softer in comparison to the previous two files then you'll be more than enthralled when you give Lunar Eclipse – a nation of moon #6 a go! Performed by guna and stepped by DarkZtar, this laid-back song bestows the listener with a rather blithe image in their heads, perhaps one of being in and amongst a thick forest in the latter hours of the evening, gazing upwards at radiantly white moonlight streaming through the crevices in the foliage above you. However, rather than lazing around beneath a tree and staring up at the moon like the song may engender you to envision yourself doing, a relatively slow yet lengthy run of technically relevant stream interspersed with the occasional jump, hand or grace note will either provide ample challenge for the novice player or a sublime opportunity for jumpstreaming practice for the intermediate player.
Don't let the particularly gruesome artist name of Furries in a Blender or the fact that you're going to be going up against a song that's created by a Renard alias fool you into thinking that Pollyanna is anywhere near as difficult a file as the majority of FFR's Renard catalog tends to be. Coming in at only a 7 out of 100 on the new difficulty scale, YOSHl brings us forty-two seconds of blithe, airy piano music that will be enjoyable for even the most uninitiated of FFR players. Check out the very tip of the iceberg that we call the Classical section to give this one a try.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, please welcome to the rapidly increasing FFR repertoire the debut song for musical artist XACKSECKS as well as the debut file for stepartist I like it! When it comes to uniquely spelled Unicron Barbeque, both artists embody the "Go Big Or Go Home" mentality down to a tee: with powerful kicks, very in-your-face vocals and a high BPM on the song side of the spectrum and dense layering, fast 32nd bursts and extended jumptrills and streams on the file side, this file earns its 80 out of 100 difficulty rating with flying colors. If you're one of the lucky ones who have accumulated 72,000 credits over the course of your FFR career then you can go and check out the Secret section in order to try your hand at this trickster of a file and see if you like it as much as I like it likes it.
Those of you who had seen the [Standard] portion of the previously released iteration of the My Little Pony Medley should have seen this release coming from miles away. Our third Renard release for the week, and the only one that's actually published under his usual alias to boot, is stepartist megamon88′s answer to those of you who had wanted a little more oompf out of the Standard release from a couple of weeks ago. Unlike its predecessor, the Heavy version of this 8-bit omnibus of songs from the simultaneously beloved and bemoaned television show contains denser layering, both mini and extended jacks, polyrhythms, grace notes, swipes, speedy stream runs and just a light peppering of jumpstream for added measure. Those of you who wish to try your hand at this particular rendition will need to achieve a full combo on the [Standard] version of the chart with nine or less combined goods and averages as well as zero boos in order to unlock the file. Good luck!
And thus ends another week of releases. As always, the previous week's two veteran files have now been released to the public, so go and play Exotic Matter and Vortex if you haven't already. Play the files, listen to the songs and leave your opinions or suggestions in either the respective forum thread or in the comments section of this post before taking a deep breath and returning to either the harsh realm of the academic world or the temporarily blissful universe of procrastination.

Also, forgot to say since this wasn't up when I played it, more guna tracks would be great. It seems like no matter who steps it they're fun, good listening, and relatively easy for me to AAA. As long as they stay in the 40s, I suppose.
And thanks again for the writeup! I feel like it would be pretty awesome if you did (dramatic) readings of these.

Video: Bikini models recreate Euro 2012 football matches
11:55 19 August 2012
A Hungarian TV station has bizarrely recreated the group matches from the Euro 2012 football championships using bikini models.
Ten scantily-clad models were employed for the alternative take on the action from Poland and the Ukraine.
Its certainly an improvement on watching Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole running around.
Watch the video above to see footage of Englands match against Sweden as portrayed by the models.

Ruapehu shows increased volcanic activity
The aviation alert level around Mount Ruapehu has been raised as the volcano in the central North Island shows signs of activity.
The volcano surveillance co-ordinator for GNS Science, Brad Scott, says the temperature at the crater lake is only four degrees shy of its highest ever recorded level of 42.5°C.
Mr Scott says there have also been increases in seismic activity, changes in lake chemistry and increases in carbon dioxide emission which have never been seen before while the lake is this hot.
He says the changes show the volcano is more active than usual and warrants raising the Aviation Colour Code to a yellow alert, which means airlines should be aware of the risk of an eruption.
Mr Scott says the alert level will not be raised further unless an eruption is imminent.

Double Sigh...
And I use the word "Sigh" because I can't put the words I really said in my blog. I Shazam-ed this recipe up good and proper. My own fault, no one to blame and I am shazam-ed off about it.
BUT, here's an "in process" shot of what could have been...
I already was inspired to alter a recipe of hers once, when I made an Arnold Palmer Sorbet (actually, it is a Dirty Florida Golfer Sorbet, but that's a long complicated reasoning for the name that you will have to go to my original post on that to understand... and again, I digress). Wendy Lyn posted a recipe for a what she called a Porch Swing Sorbet, using tea and lemon juice. Reminded me of my wife's favorite drink from our 6 month sabbatical (boondoggle) in the US Virgin Islands. SO, with Wendy Lyn's help, she answered all my email questions in rapid order, I was inspired to make that success.
But again, no fault of Wendy Lyn (I wonder, I'm calling her Wendy Lyn cause that's what any Texan named Wendy Lyn should be called. Wonder if anyone else calls her that??? But again... Digression). Like I said, My fault for the way this looks (or does not look).
A PARFAIT MURDER before I get to the recipe. This is the third book in the series, but the first one that I read. While I am sure that reading the first two would have made the book more enjoyable with the characters more familiar, Wendy Lyn did a terrific job of introducing old characters for a new audience. I never felt like I was coming in on the middle of a book; very accessible for new readers.
Which is good, as the action starts fast and furious. While the main character (Tallulah, just love that name but everyone calls her Tally) owns an ice cram parlor, only about 10 pages is set in the parlor. Most of the action is centered around the state fair. And action happens fast when an evil from the bast shows up at the fair. Paternity issues, scams (business and personal), love affairs going south (and some going north) and a dead body keep the story moving to a very satisfying climax.
One of the things I have a habit of doing is asking the ladies who murder (well write about it anyway) if they get to write off the subject of their books on their taxes. Imagine being able to write off Starbucks, Cheese Shops, BBQ, Organizational tools and more from your taxes. Well, that's a normal question for me. But Professor Wendy Lyn does set about 10 pages of the book in a gentleman's club.
So, Professor Wendy Lyn... When doing research, did you ask for a receipt???
Seriously, A PARFAIT MURDER is a perfect summer read... dead lawyers, strip clubs, a romantic proposal (complete with nature's fireworks), wonderfully written characters and just the right touch of an ending that fooled me and entertained.
And best of all, as with most of the MLK author's books, RECIPES!!!
Instead, I had a vision...
It took 3 days, but I started by making 3 fruit flavored ice creams. I made a peach and strawberry compote (just fruit, diced, simmered till nearly liquid with a little lemon juice and sugar (drop me a note if you need a recipe). I also made a virgin Banana Foster recipe with butter and sugar to make caramel combined with mashed cooked bananas.
I added a bit of each to three different "plain" Vanilla ice cream to make marbleized flavored ice cream.
I also added some fruit to the compotes and caramel to make a fruit filled filling...
And as Wendy Lyn suggested in A PARFAIT MURDER, I lined the bottom of a loaf pan with parchment paper so it would remove easily. A layer of peach filling on the bottom
A layer of Ice cream
A layer of Strawberry filling, followed by another layer of ice cream...
Caramel and Bananas next, followed by one more layer of ice cream...
pop in the freezer until WELL FROZEN. Just imagine what these would look like in 1 inch slices.
BUT... be warned,
Do not schedule a dinner party for only 6-8 hours after you assemble this. Plan ahead!
Because if you don't, 1 minute after you remove the "loaf" from the pan, it oozes.
I cried just a bit as it oozed, picturing what might have been.
Then I said... Well, let's just say I said "sigh"... Double "Sigh"
Then I made the best of it, served up some soft ice cream and fruit, never apologized and everyone thought it was a wonderful dish... So much fruit, so much ice cream and the fudge topping (recipe also in A PARFAIT MURDER).
A delicious Success ... A delicious failure that I plan to revisit soon!
Thanks Wendy Lyn for the WONDERFUL inspiration. I promise to get it right next time. A PARFAIT MURDER deserved better.
And everyone else, take a jump over to MYSTERY LOVERS KITCHEN. My personal theory is that the ladies are very competitive. They each try to post their best so that their recipes will shine through the confusion of six different regulars (and always a seventh guest post). I have gotten some of my very favorite recipes from them.
I hope that you enjoy my posts, my take on the work of others (but really, isn't all cooking building on the work of those who cooked before us???). I hope I have peaked your curiosity on Wendy lyn and the rest of the Merry Murderesses of MYSTERY LOVERS KITCHEN... Drop in on them and say hi for me!

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. - Watching the Saints play football in cool, 65-degree temperatures is reward enough for the hundreds of fans who have come to the Greenbrier resort this summer for training camp.
But the remote, tranquil stretch in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains has much to offer the intrepid Saints fan coming north for a visit.
A day trip from Union to Peterstown, W. Va. along U.S. Route 219 is a glimpse of rural America that doesn't seem to have changed much over the decades. The route is 535 miles long running through five states from West Seneca, New York to Rich Creek, Virginia. Along the way, there are picturesque covered bridges, soft landscapes, historic homes and friendly people.
Drivers starting in Union, W. Va., population 560, can travel the last 24 miles and back in no time but lingering along the way at places like the Gap Mills for cheese and baked goods made by the Mennonites is worth stretching out the trip to make a day of it.
Union was settled in 1774. I stopped by the Monroe County Historical Society to get my bearings. I was the only visitor on Friday. There, volunteer Susan Grill, who raises goats for meat, pointed me in the right direction. While in town, Main Street offers a couple of sandwich shops and antique stores and several historical buildings and roadside markers.
Up the road is Rehoboth Church, a historic log cabin-style Methodist church in the countryside, still in use today. It's renowned for being the oldest existing church in West Virginia.
The winding road took me past yard sales, stone houses and quaint country stores. As I headed back southeast down the road toward Peterstown, I ended my 24 miles at Kc's Dawg & Burger Haus for an ear of deep fried corn. It reminded me of Louisiana cooking. We can deep fry anything and it tastes oso good.
And on my return up 219, it seemed like I started a fresh journey all over again.

When I read Mercedes Kirkel's first book, Mary Magdalene, The River of Love, I was entranced, and I couldn't put it down. There was so much new and interesting channeled information, and I couldn't get enough. Fortunately, Mercedes continued to channel and share information from Mary Magdalene through her blog, and when I learned that River of Love is part of a trilogy, I sat down and read the second book, Sublime Union, in less than a day. I couldn't put it down.
Sublime Union takes us to the next level of spirituality as Mary Magdalene teaches us how to embrace our sexuality and deepen and expand true intimacy in our relationships. Through Mercedes, Mary provides us with ancient wisdom and gives us the second key to personifying the feminine and masculine energies inherent in each of us. Sublime Union, though, is much more than a book—it's a spiritual instruction manual on relationship building; and the material is given to us in an easy-to-digest first person style that makes for easy reading and incorporation into our relationships, interactions and connections. Here is a little peak at some of what you can expect to find in this enlightening book:
- Channeled wisdom from Mary Magdalene to help us improve our relationships and take our sexuality to the next level.
- Instruction from Mary Magdalene regarding sacred sexuality
- Mercedes account of how she took Mary's teachings and put them to work in her own life so that we can better understand how to put Mary's wisdom to work for us
- There are illustrations and drawings to help us understand the channeled material
We are souls who are currently in body, and spirituality isn't just about meditating or channeling our guides and higher selves; it's also about connecting with others. Learning how to expand and develop our romantic relationships is another way for us to grow and move forward Spiritually, with the added benefit of doing so with our significant other. I love this book and what it brings to the table as we search for ways to manifest peace and enlightenment for ourselves and our loved ones. Namaste.
About Mercedes Kirkel: Mercedes is an author and spiritual growth facilitator who brings forth messages and instruction from Mary Magdalene and other beings of light. Mercedes is frequently published in the Sedona Journal of Emergence and the Light Circle Ezine. She also regularly shares the messages she receives in her online newsletter, entitled Into the Heart. All messages and practices are universal and are not affiliated with any particular religion. Mercedes lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she offers workshops and private sessions. She also works long-distance by phone and Skype, and travels to other locations upon request.

As I'm typing this post, I am reminded of a joke my mom told me when I was younger:
A mushroom walks into a bar and sits down to order a drink.
The bartender says, "I'm sorry, but we don't serve mushrooms here."
And the mushroom replies, "Why not? I'm a fun guy."
Get it? Fun guy? Fungi?
Okay, well, anyway . . . you know that saying be careful what you wish for?
I wished that the tomatoes on my tomato plants would hurry up and turn red. And then suddenly they did. All at the same time.
You can only eat so many BLT's (although there are some who would argue with that statement). I have already made four jars of canned diced tomatoes and it looks like I may have enough to make tomato sauce. This is good. This is what I wanted.
However, my cherry tomatoes are ripening faster that we can eat them. I have been putting them in our salads and eating them as snacks. But in an effort to prevent them from going bad, I have been searching in earnest for ways to include them in our meals.
I actually found this recipe while searching for new low carb meal ideas. I love me some Portobello mushrooms. Love. Everything about this recipe was yummy, right down to the oven roasted tomatoes that I had to force myself to stop eating so we would have some for the mushrooms. I prepped these in the oven and finished them with a few chicken breasts The Husband was cooking on the grill. Honestly, these were so yummy and so filling I probably could have skipped the chicken breast and just eaten the mushrooms.
Grilled Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
- 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large Portobello mushrooms
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
- 4 ounces of plain goat cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Spread the tomato halves on a greased cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Roast tomatoes in the oven for 20 minutes until they start to shrivel.
- In the meantime, gently wipe the outside of the mushroom with a damp paper towel. Remove and discard the stems. Then gently scrape out the inside (or gills) of the mushrooms using the back of a teaspoon.

The Commercial Theory of the Atonement was first set forth by Anselm (A.D. 1033-1109) which is the theory that sin robbed God of his honor. Therefore, it was necessary to have God's honor restored by either punishing sinners or through an atonement. God chose to atone by the death of Christ which brought honor to God and the reward which was passed on to sinners1
The problem with this theory is that the motivation of God's atoning work is holiness rather than love. John 3:16 says that "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son…" Also, there are no verses that suggest it was God's holiness that was the motivation for the atoning work. This theory also ignores the legal aspect of Christ's atonement.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Each year in the name of medical progress, scientists experiment with 100 million mice, rats, monkeys, fish and dogs. They expose the animals to medicines and therapies that could become the next cancer killer or depression fighter, but are the tests a move forward or backward?
Veterinarian John D. Young, V.M.D., M.S., runs the research labs at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He opened the doors to show his side of animal research.
"Without the use of animals, there's no way to prove safety," Dr. Young told Ivanhoe.
He says the rats in the lab are long-term survivors of brain cancer -- the same cancer that will kill some of the young patients on the pediatric oncology floor at his hospital.
"The prospect of that wipes away all doubt in my mind of what I'm doing is not only worthwhile, but a very noble use of animals," Dr. Young explained.
Successful vaccinations, MRI, CT scans and antibiotics were all developed as a result of animal testing.
"Results generated in pigs are now translating to the use of a person's own stem cells to repair their heart after a heart attack," Dr. Young pointed out.
With progress comes controversy. A home video taken at a leading university medical center alleges lab animals are suffering cruelty and neglect.
"It was just horrible," Catherine Dell'Orto, D.V.M., a veterinarian at Sabino Veterinary Care inTucson, Ariz., described to Ivanhoe. "It was horrific."
Dr. Dell'Orto was responsible for the care of the animals.
"The baboons had their eyes taken out and they were induced in a stroke," she said.
Dr. Dell'Orto complained to her supervisors and the USDA. When she failed to get their attention, she contacted PETA.
"Any kind of drug trial using an animal, basically you're slowly poisoning the animal to death," Alka Chandna, Ph.D., a laboratory oversight specialist at PETA, told Ivanhoe.
An internal investigation found inadequate veterinary care of some of the animals used, and the university implemented reforms based on some of the complaints.
"I left, but for years I would have nightmares about what I saw," Dr. Dell'Orto said.
As the debate rages on, a new question comes up: Are animals the best option?
"Of all drugs that test safe and effective in animals and laboratories, 92 percent are found to be either unsafe or ineffective in humans," Dr. Chandna explained.
Alan Goldberg, Ph.D., director of the Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Md., said he believes we need to replace, reduce and refine the process of animal testing.
"It's not that we are going to just stop animal testing," he explained. "You can eliminate specific pieces of it."
Dr. Goldberg believes high-tech alternatives will be the answer. The use of high-speed, high-power computer models, in vitro testing and new microchips are being developed that mimic the functions and responses of different organs.
"This is the beginning of the end of animal testing," Dr. Goldberg said.
That may be the case in the United States, but hundreds of tests and millions of dollars are sent overseas, outsourced to China because of costly U.S. regulations and the increase of threats against companies that use animals for research.
"We know that enforcement is near nonexistent in China," Dr. Chandna said.
Animal testing proves an ethical and scientific challenge for researchers and animal lovers around the globe.
"I wonder, are we really advancing ourselves as a culture by doing this?" Dr. Dell'Orto asked.
"I would submit that if you would disallow the use of animals in medical research, medical progress wouldn't slow," Dr. Young said. "It would stop and it would reverse."
A hard decision for anyone: ranking animals' pain against the possibility of saving lives.
Regulations on animal testing have been tightened in recent years. A Tufts University study found in 1970 50 million animals in the United States were used for testing. Today that number is down to about 14 million.

Previous Education
- BA, Archaeology, Memorial University of Newfoundland, 2012.
Historical archaeology; Northeastern North America; material culture; ceramic studies; trade.
Research Statement
During the course of my honours research I found that very little is known about English Border ware ceramics in North American archaeological contexts. This ceramic was produced along the Surrey-Hampshire Border in southern England between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries and were one of the most common household wares used in England during that time. For my Masters research, I hope to present a complete analysis and interpretation of the English Border ware ceramics that have been excavated on seventeenth-century archaeological sites across Northeastern North America. My primary goal is to emphasize the importance of the presence of Border ware ceramics on colonial sites in British North America and to demonstrate the valuable information it can provide. Through this study I hope to gain a better understanding of the development of trade in North America as a whole. This research can also be used as a platform for achieving a better grasp of how Border ware was marketed throughout England and how it made its way across the Atlantic to some of the first English colonies in North America.

Carport Extensions
Carport extensions are necessary for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you did not build the carport large enough in the first place, or maybe you have a new vehicle and need extra room. Depending on your knowledge and abilities, extending an existing carport might be just as difficult as building one from scratch! Fortunately, there are DIY kits and plans available for remodeling carports, thus you can eliminate some of the guesswork with the right instructions.
Your first step is to determine the width. How much room do you want to cover? How much space will there be between the existing wall and extended wall once you build it? You might find it helpful to install some outer posts, and then build the wall or beam to run parallel with the existing structure. For some ideas, look at carport extension plans for building a single carport into a double carport.
It is also important to order the same materials and supplies used for your existing carport. If you are happy with the current materials, then order more from the same manufacturer. If you want to remodel as well as expand, you can order from a different manufacturer—especially if you are not satisfied with the current build. Whether you need aluminum or other metal carport extension materials, make sure they are durable and high quality.
When working on your project, get an accurate measurement of the roof. Whether you want to extend the structure horizontally or vertically, the roof will be affected. It needs to be built just right in order for water to fall off properly. You need to raise the rafters up on the existing roof, even if the extended beams are built at the same height as the existing beams.
When extending the roof, cut all the rafters and nail them into place. Try to install them onto 16" centers so that the roof will be sturdy. Also, put ½" decking plywood on the rafters so that shingling will be applicable. When applying the shingles, start at the low end and work your way up to the top of the existing roof. When you reach the top, raise the old shingles and slide the new ones underneath to prevent leakage. Carport extensions are not hard to do, just as long as you have a good set of plans, the right materials, and instructions. Make sure measurements are 100% accurate so that your efforts are not in vain. One wrong measurement will mess up the entire project. If you are not comfortable with undertaking such a project on your own, or experience any problems whatsoever, you should ask a professional builder for help or for advice.

Protecting Your Online Identity | Infographic
With how much people are using the Internet now, it is becoming increasingly important to maintain one's personal identity while using online services. In yesteryear, people only had to worry about losing their wallet or purse while out and about town. However, with how frequently people spend money on the Internet as well as having to frequently input personal information on the web, it should go without saying that the possibility of having one's personal identity stolen on the Internet is a legitimate threat.
When using the Internet, you have to be wary of a variety of situations. The first tip is to never upload a picture of your debit or credit card online. You should also be wary of email scams, the most common of which is the Nigerian prince scam. Finally, when connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi, if you use an unsecured or public Wi-Fi, you are exponentially increasing your chances of having personal information stolen.

Game Dev Tycoon - Greenheart Games
Hey TOGs!
I found this really fun game and wanted to share it with you all. It's called Game Dev Tycoon by Greenheart Games. As you've probably realized it's a simulator game where you take charge of a game dev studio (starting in your garage!). You get to put out games that get reviewed and generate funds for you to keep on developing.
You get to control various things about the type of game you want to make including topics, genres, core features, marketing strategies, and can even enter into deals for contract work or publishing deals. You hire stuff, train them, and put them in charge of various game aspects as you develop.
I'm skipping over some things here to keep the game fresh and surprising when it throws things at you too. ;)
There's a demo available, and it's really cheap to buy (just a few dollars). I give it 2 thumbs and 2 big toes up!
There's also a thread in the Lounge regarding this game - as it did something special when it launched.
Took me 20 minutes to find the darn thing right now. I was sure I had posted in it - clearly not!
I hear the "pirate" mode is really hard!
Game Dev Tycoon out-pirates the pirates - Crave

» Temple Cup Results
» GoHuskies: Washington Frosh To Race At Henley
» GoHuskies: Crew Helps Taft Broaden Horizons
HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England - The University of Washington freshman men's crew opened the Henley Royal Regatta in impressive fashion, defeating the University of Warwick by three lengths in the opening round.
Washington was the first U.S. winner of the day in the Temple Cup bracket, taking the lead early in the race and moving away to a comfortable victory in a time of 6:41 on the 2,112-meter course on the River Thames. On Thursday, the Huskies will face Nihon University of Japan, who defeated Oxford Brookes University (UK) by 4 ½ lengths. The race gets underway at 5:30 a.m. PST, 3:30 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time.
For a Grunties team which hasn't raced since winning a National Championship at the IRAs on June 5, this was an excellent test for them to shake out some nerves. Their excitement was evident as the crew blew off the line at an incredible pace before settling into a base rate at the midway point. With such a comfortable lead in the bank, the Huskies were able to cruise home well ahead of Warwick, a school based in west-central England.
"It was good for them to get used to the starting sequence and to have an opportunity to go down the course and get rid of some nerves before the big races," said freshman coach Luke McGee.
In England, the Huskies are racing their own Empacher, the 101, which was donated anonymously from a Washington alumnus. McGee said his team has immediately taken to the boat and are impressed by how well it has moved through the water on the River Thames. The 101 is stored at the Henley Rowing Club is available only to UW crews who are competing at the prestigious regatta.
Outside of racing, the crew has been soaking up the sights of England. They've managed to squeeze in a full English breakfast, as well as a traditional pub dinner. The group has also managed to squeeze in plenty of soccer watching with the World Cup in full swing.
Washington is one of 32 teams in the Temple Cup, which feature student eights (those without significant rowing experience) from around the world. The only other U.S. clubs competing are Harvard and Southern Cal, which faced each other in the first round, with the Crimson taking the victory. The UW last raced in the Henley Royal Regatta in 2003.
Each race is rowed in dual, knockout format, with the winner advancing to the next round.

John Fina
At the time of his induction, John Fina is only the second University of Arizona football player to play both his high school and college ball in Tucson and then go on to play professionally in the NFL. He began his college career on the defensive line, but moved to offense his sophomore year and helped the Wildcats lead the Pac-10 in rushing. His junior year, John played both offense and defense and won the team's Bronco Nagurski award for the best two-way player on the team. John started 27 games on the offensive line and finished his career at Arizona by earning 2nd team All-Pac-10 honors and being named the team MVP. John was also a three-time All-Pac-10 Academic selection (1989,1990 and 1991). John became a first round draft pick (27th overall) for the Buffalo Bills. At the time of his induction, only nine other UA players have gone in the first round of the NFL draft. John played ten years for the Bills earning a starting spot his second year. He started 131 of the 148 games he appeared in for the club and played in two Super Bowls. John's eleventh year with the NFL was spent with the Arizona Cardinals.

Humor of Radovan Karadzic Falls Flat in The Hague
Last time we checked in on Radovan Karadzic, who's accused of genocide and other war crimes against Muslim and Croatian civilians during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990's, he'd declared his plans to appear pro se in The Hague. Today, he appeared in court in The Hague for the second time since his arrest and laid out his defense strategy: He refused to enter pleas to all 11 charges against him and dismissed the war crimes tribunal as "a court of NATO" which was posing falsely as a court of the international community. Here's the NYT report.
Apparently, Karadzic has been a quite aggressive advocate for himself. According to the Times, he has already filed lengthy motions, letters and requests. He wants copies of warrants to search his former home, copies of orders to freeze his assets, answers to his challenge of the legitimacy of the court. He has demanded an explanation if NATO or the United States intends to kill him, as he has claimed.
Reportedly, when Karadzic wasn't taking shots at the court's legitimacy, he was trying — vainly — to joke with the judge.
"Count one of the indictment," the judge began. "You are charged with genocide. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?"
Karadzic replied: "I will not plead."
In keeping with court rules, the judge said, he would enter for all 11 charges the words "not guilty."
Karadzic then resumed his seat and called out: "May I hold you to your word?"
"Which word?" asked the judge.
"That I'm not guilty," said Karadzic.
"We shall see in due course," the judge replied.
The next hearing was set for Sept. 17.

Four long years after Season 4 was released, the season 5 DVD of "Laverne & Shirley" is finally here—and so worth the wait. The last season, when the ladies still lived in Milwaukee, contains several classic episodes including the memorable two-parter "Murder on the Moosejaw Express," (a man stumbles into the girls' train compartment and announces "beware the bald man!" before dying—humorously, of course!), and "The Diner" (where they went to work for Lenny and Squiggy in a greasy spoon). Cindy Williams, aka sweet goofball Shirley Feeney, graciously agreed to a catch-up chat via phone, from her home in California. Now 64, the actress is just getting ready to begin rehearsals for the play "Sylvia" which she'll be doing in Edmonton, Canada, this summer along with—surprise—her old pal, Eddie Mekka ("L&S"'s Carmine).
More: "Laverne & Shirley" just won the Fan Favorite award from TV Land. Why do you think the show resonates with so many people?
CW: I think it's the energy of the show. It appeals to kids because of the fast pace and because it's sort of loud. And for adults, there were different levels to the writing with adult themes. Basically we were young people just starting out and trying make it work—you now, just trying to get $12 together to pay the bills. And I think when you play that out in a physical way, it resonates—almost like a cartoon.
More: Do you think that it's resonating again these days, what with the recession and people having money woes like the girls did?
CW: It certainly does! I'll tell you why: the theme of that struggle—that's what "Laverne & Shirley was about and it's what we're all living thru right now. We don't know what's coming next, we're all worried. It's a depression. Although Laverne and Shirley lived thru it in a comedic way—just trying to make ends meet—it's the same thing people are suffering through today.
More: Have you been surprised over the years by random attention from people who just adore Shirley Feeney?
CW: Oh, yes, I'm always surprised. I remember this one time—this was years ago when my daughter was in fifth grade and I was picking her up from school—all these little girls came running over to my car saying "We love you Shirley!" and I was just shocked. The show hadn't been on the air in a long time. At first, I didn't even know what they were talking about!
More: That's amazing, but it just proves that everyone loves Shirley.
CW: But it's always a surprise to me. Like, I was having something notarized at the Fed-X office the other day, and as I was leaving, the gentleman who'd helped me said, "Miss Williams, I just want to thank you for all the entertainment you gave me and my family when I was growing up." I was so touched. My years on "Laverne & Shirley" are a total blessing.
More: In his new book, "My Happy Days in Hollywood: A Memoir," Garry Marshall (producer of "L&S" and Penny's brother) doesn't have flattering things to say about working on the show. He says it was very stressful and that you and Penny Marshall were perfectionists. Have you read the book?
CW: (Long pause) No… I haven't and it makes me wonder why he's dredging that up again. He wrote another book some years ago that also talked about it, and I never read that one, either. Look, I love Garry, I really do, he's just wonderful. But why bring that stuff up? Especially when people have such wonderful feelings about the show.
More: You and Penny had your ups and downs back then. What's your relationship like today?
CW: I go over to her house all the time! She's someone I know so well. We had to work so closely—we actually started out writing together even before "Laverne & Shirley." Some of the greatest laughs I've ever had in my life have been with that girl!

I'm just trying to login again as admin onto an old VPS that I haven't used for a while.
The password I had on file doesn't seem to work anymore.
The strange things are:
I'm able to ssh onto the server as root with that same password.
If I display the content of
/etc/psa/.psa.shadowit's the password I thought it was.
I can also login to mysql with
mysql -uadmin -pthepasswordfine
But I can't login to Plesk itself via the web interface as admin. It's not showing any error on the login box, i'm just presented with the box again.
There's no error log in /usr/local/psa/admin/logs either.
Plesk version is 9.3.0, on a CentOS 5 server.
Any idea what is going on here?
Or anything I could check that could help troubleshooting this?
EDIT: not sure if that helps but both
select * from cp_access;
select * from misc where param='access_policy'; on the psa db return an empty set
select * from lockout; is also empty
