High Heels, Huge Problems – How to Enjoy Your Shoes Without Harming Your Body
We all have our vices; one of mine is shoes. When I hear high-heels are dangerous for me, I admit – I would prefer to ignore the facts. But even if you aren't ready to hear that those gorgeous Louboutins are putting too much pressure on your knees and undue stress on your back, at least think of the aesthetics. I'm talking the likes of bunions and hammertoes, which if left untreated could turn painful and require surgery.
So as much as it pains me to be the bearer of bad news, the infographic below provides a much needed reality check on how your favorite shoes can hurt your body. It is courtesy of the Spine Health Institute of the Florida Hospital Medical Group.
While I think we should be aware of the facts, I am not suggesting you resign yourself to a life of orthopedic shoes – just that you practice a little precaution and common sense. Here are my top five tips to take care of your feet while still enjoying your sling-backs, platforms and mary-janes!
#1 Buy the Right Size
No one else knows (or cares!) whether you are wearing a 7 or an 8! Do your shopping at the end of the day when your feet are at their most swollen. Think about whether you will be wearing hose or going barefoot (I find I need to go down half a size in my winter heels when I will be wearing tights), and whether they will stretch (leather) or have no give at all (patent leather).
For shoes that you've already bought, consider taking them to a cobbler where they can can actually stretch them for you, especially if they are too narrow.
#2 Rotate Heel Height – Wear A Different Pair Every Day
Save the super high stilettos for date night and power meetings. The rest of the time, alternate between 1 and 3 inch heels, even ballet flats. It will give your muscles and joints a break.
#3 Remember – Some Shoes Are Not Made for Walking
Don't walk long distances in your highest heels. When any major distance needs to be covered, do what we do in New York City – put on your flats or cute sneakers, and when you get close to your destination, duck in a corner and change shoes.
#4 Stretch Your Calves & Foot Muscles Daily
I like to hang my foot off the back of stairs or off the treadmill after working out. (See: 5 Most Effective Calf Stretches by FitDay) Also, if you're toes have felt pinched, a few minutes in a pair of yoga toes or a knockoff feels really good.
#5 Get Regular Pedicures
It's a must – more so for mental health and pampering than for foot health, but definitely a crucial part of taking care of your feet!
Bonus Tip
Take a class to learn proper form – no really, they exist! According to a recent Huffington Post article, such classes "promise to correct high-heel missteps by encouraging engaged abs, relaxed hips and knees and perfect posture."

College Hockey:Brown Out: Rosen, Bears Blank St. Lawrence
Zolnierczyk, Volpatti and Rosen Lead Brown's Season-Ending Victory
ALBANY, N.Y. — It may have been a consolation game with no postseason ramifications, but St. Lawrence and Brown played a hard-fought game nonetheless at Albany's Times-Union Center on Saturday afternoon. The Bears persevered through an up-and-back contest, ultimately dispatching the Saints 3-0 in the final game of the season for each team.
Junior Harry Zolnierczyk scored and added an assist in a strong performance, with senior Aaron Volpatti potting the other goal for the Bears (13-20-4). Dan Rosen made 21 saves for his second career shutout, in his final collegiate appearance.
The consolation game is always a tough game to play, said Brown head coach Brendan Whittet. I've been in many of them as a coach, and it's tough to get motivated for, honestly. But I thought our guys played very good hockey tonight. They came out and played very hard, and to their credit, they wanted to end their season with a win.
Senior Alex Petizian stopped 34 in the loss as the Saints (19-16-7) simply couldn't breach the Brown defense.
A spirited first period saw 19 shots, numerous hits and four penalties, but no goals as the squads threw an evenly matched first round. Brown slapped 10 shots on Petizian, while Rosen made nine stops in Bruno's net.
Zolnierczyk had a hand in a couple of near-goals for the Bears in the game's 28th minute, first dangling around the defense only to poke the net into Petizian's toe, then running a two-on-two breakout a moment later that had SLU scrambling. The Toronto-bred winger put a fright into the Saints three minutes after that as well, bolting past the defense and unloading a fierce wrister high on Petizian. The goaltender was up to the task, snaring the puck to the delight of the hundreds of Saints-backers in attendance.
David Brownschidle tried to out-wait St. Lawrence's Derek Keller in a two-on-one, but Keller broke up the centering attempt to Jarred Smith to maintain the scoreless draw. Bruno forced the issue however, as Volpatti broke the defense and deked to the forehand with five and a half minutes remaining in the second period. The Bears' leading goal-scorer went top-shelf with the shot, beating Petizian over the blocker for his 17th of the year.
Brown popped 11 more shots Petizian's way in the second stanza, while the Saints mustered seven of their own.
Fratkin extended the Bears' lead five minutes into the third, dancing through the Saints defenders and waltzing the puck right by Petizian for the 2-0 lead. Zolnierczyk was again a factor in the play, earning the lone assist on Fratkin's seventh goal of the season.
Tri-captain Jordan Pietrus threatened to pile it on with a dozen minutes to go, but his salvo rang Petizian's post and rebounded to the half-wall.
Brown controlled much of the third period, and even a Volpatti minor and 10-minute misconduct — setting a Brown record for penalty minutes in a season — couldn't slow it down. With the teams skating four-on-four with barely three minutes to play, St. Lawrence coach Joe Marsh elected to lift Petizian and go for the goal. Zolnierczyk had other ideas, icing the game with his goal with 3:08 to play.

I have been banging my head against the wall with trying to configuring bridge on my Ubuntu. I am a novice user on Linux but an IT professional of 10 years experience on windows. So I would understand the concepts but just cannot get the steps mention on internet working for me.
What I need is to be able to bridge my eth1 to eth0. My Ubuintu 10.4 LTS box has two adapters eth0 and eth1 and I want to use it to connect my Windows 7 PC to the internet (and external network). eth0 is connected to the external network and has DHCP. eth1 is connected to windows 7 using a Cross cable.
Here is my output for ifconfig:

I have already installed bridge-utils by downloading and then installing it and I can use
So I know that I need to define br0 and I have done that but it never worked.
Can you please tell me what steps I need to do to get it working?
Thanks in advance Ali

Giacomo Gates: Summertime
Giacomo Gates (vocals)
Centerpiece (Origin 82428)
Giacomo Gates (vocals), Harold Danko (piano), Ray Drummond (bass), Greg Bandy (drums).
Composed by George Gershwin & DuBose Heyward. Arranged by Eddie Jefferson.
Recorded: Westport, Connecticut, no date given (CD released in 2004)
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
Giacomo Gates has a big baritone voice in the tradition of Billy Eckstine and Johnny Hartman, and with his rich, chocolaty tones, he could set up shop as a specialist in late-night ballads. But this is not that type of "Summertime." Instead, Gates has an endless supply of tricks at his disposal -- bits of banter, instrument imitations, vocalese, scatting, stories, sound effects; he even lets loose with a whistling solo on this track that will bring a smile to your face. He builds here on the classic Eddie Jefferson arrangement of the Gershwin standard, one of the more irreverent and spirited tributes to Porgy and Bess in the jazz pantheon. But this is not just another Jefferson Monument. Gates establishes his own distinctive voice and attitude. Ray Drummond's outstanding bass work is also worthy of note.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Before the sun rose in California, the Fresno State women's basketball team was on the bus and headed to its fifth consecutive NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs, the No. 12 seed, face No. 5 seeded Georgetown on Sunday, March 19 at 9:20 a.m. PT.
The `Dogs day started bright and early with interviews before boarding the bus to the airport. The Bulldogs, along with administrators, band and cheer flew five hours landing in Raleigh, North Carolina.
On the long flight across the country, the `Dogs spent time catching up on home work, rest and looking over their scouting report. This game's scouting report was unique because associate head coach Brett Frank added fun facts about Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina.
For most of the Bulldogs, this is their first trip to North Carolina and an area that is home to four major college basketball programs including, UNC, Duke, North Carolina State and Wake Forrest.
After eating lunch and settling in at the team hotel, Fresno State geared up for its first practice of the trip. The Bulldogs practiced at the Dean Smith Center, which is the home of the Tar Heels men's basketball team.
Hanging from the rafters of the Smith Center are 35 ACC championship banners, 18 Final Four banners and the retired jersey of Michael Jordan.
Up next for the Bulldogs is another day of practice and a press conference on Saturday. And on Sunday morning the `Dogs take on Georgetown and are looking for their first NCAA Tournament win in program history.
Watch all the action on ESPN2 or listen on ESPN 1430 AM as Fresno State plays Georgetown on March 19 at 9:20 a.m.
"We Are Your Team!" The Bulldogs are headed to Chapel Hill, North Carolina for the first round of the 2012 NCAA Tournament. The `Dogs face Georgetown on Sunday, March 18 at 9:20 a.m. Listen to the game on ESPN2 790 AM with Guy Haberman or watch on ESPN2.

College Hockey:2006-07 Lake Superior State Preview
There is something about Jim Roque that is quintessentially endearing.
"I've only got 25 guys this year. Last year we carried 29," said Roque. "I couldn't, in my heart, cut anyone who wanted to put in the time — there's no way."
Ah. That's it.
Last year, Roque replaced Frank Anzalone as Laker head coach in a move that can best be compared to swapping night for day.
Anzalone was an interesting throwback to a time when Laker hockey ruled the league … many moons ago. A defensive, temperamental guy, Anzalone spent the first year of his program apologizing for what he saw as his team's lack of Division I skill; he spent the last navigating off-ice drama that several players seemed to attract.
While Roque got a little publicly grumpy in Columbus early last season — and probably hasn't forgiven me for it yet — not once did the man denigrate his players or point to his predecessor as a reason for Lake Superior State's performance.
Of course, it may say more about Anzalone than Roque that Roque, a man who often looks as though he's glowering at the world, was a fresh breeze in Sault Ste. Marie.
"Last year's team had a group of 12 seniors and they had been together since the beginning," said Roque, "so even though there was change going on with the team, they kind of took it upon themselves to protect each other and to protect the team. Almost to a fault they wanted to handle everything. I think it lead to some of the younger guys being excluded."
Sounds like post-traumatic Anzalone syndrome, an understandable condition given what those seniors witnessed in four years.
"This year's group," said Roque, "is more inclusive. It will be easier to get guys to buy into what's going on."
It's not as though Roque came took over for Anzalone cold; Roque served as Anzalone's assistant from 2001 until Anzalone's departure. He knows this team, knows these seniors, and helped recruit nearly all the underclassmen.
The 2005-06 season was a definite improvement for the Lakers, so it's not as though there's bouncing back to do.
The cornerstone of the team — next to tenacious team discipline and defense — is senior goaltender Jeff Jakaitis.
"His best asset is his mental skill set," said Roque. "He's just so calm. Nothing rattles him. He's also very athletic. He's flexible and he's got good vision. He kind of looks smaller than he is because he plays with a little slope, but he's a confident guy and he knows himself.
"If I could change one thing, I'd make him a junior again so that we could have him for another year. He'll wear a letter for us this year, and he's done everything we could ask — he's a good student, a good person, and he works hard."
Like nearly every other team in the league, the Lakers need to score more goals. A total of 93 goals isn't enough, even when allowing just 84. It's the one and only characteristic of the Laker team that kept them mired in the middle last year, and will likely do so again.
Only senior Trent Campbell netted more than 10 goals for the Lakers last year, and although the overall committee effort was there, there weren't enough pucks in nets to make a significant difference in the fate of the team.
With Roque behind the bench, the Lakers did win three more league games last season than they had the year before, the final campaign with Anzalone. Perennially partnered with Northern Michigan, the Lakers also draw Miami and Ohio State this year as clustermates. That's travel as well as the league's defending regular-season champion … and a team that made them, really, really made them, in Columbus last November.
In fact, the Lakers start their regular-season CCHA play against OSU at the Schott in mid-October. It's a golden opportunity for Roque and Company to turn something negative into something positive, yet again.

The Minimally Invasive Surgery Center at Children's provides high-quality surgical care for children from birth to age 21. Minimally invasive surgery for children and teens is a substitute for traditional surgeries. Traditional surgeries require larger cuts and have a longer recovery time. At Children's, we use methods—often called laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery—to minimize the pain and discomfort of surgery for children.
During minimally invasive surgery, surgeons use a tube with a camera attached—called an endoscope—to go into a child's body and send images to a TV monitor. The images guide the surgeon through the surgery. To perform the surgery, the surgeon uses small, thin tools that go through small cuts in a child's body.
Our surgeons use advanced technology to improve outcomes—and help kids get better faster.
Thanks to our Robot-Assisted Surgery Program, complex surgeries are easier to perform. During robot-assisted surgery, the system is controlled by a surgeon from a console located in the operating room.
A tiny camera is inserted that uses two lenses to give the doctor 3-D vision. The system also adjusts the surgeon's movements to work on the smaller scale, using more precise micromovements with two working arms.
Our surgeons perform single-site colectomies to treat patients with life-threatening ulcerative colitis. The condition destroys the large intestine by creating open sores in its lining.
During the laparoscopic procedure, surgeons remove the patient's colon and construct a "J-pouch" that serves as a reservoir. This helps restore functionality of the anus.
By using intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI), our surgeons perform more effective laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasties (LAARP). iMRI enables clear and effective navigation of the digestive system and helps our surgeons pinpoint the correct placement of new tissue to repair or replace an imperforated anus.

The outline is a Glock 26.
Check out the animation of the operating cycle:
Video Page
Basically, the XR9 is a pocket pistol with a full length barrel, having the magazine located directly under the chamber. The patent-pending feed mechanism grabs a cartridge from the magazine and delivers it straight into the chamber. This allows the chamber clearance to be significantly less, causing less energy and noise to blast out the back. With this combination, kinetic energy is maximized, and in many cases will exceed the energy produced in full-sized pistols.

I waited patiently for 71582788 minutes
The pictures of the dead Epargyreus clarus I photographed yesterday were still on the camera's CompactFlash memory card when I mistakenly erased them last nite. They were not really important, but I decided to try to recover them anyway. The card, by SanDisk, had come with a file recovery software called RescuePro. I started running it and this message appeared on the screen.
That would be 1193046.5 hours or 49710.2 days or 136.2 years! So I waited.
It took about
RescuePro recovered the smaller JPG files, but missed the Olympus RAW files that were also on the card.

If by "date" you mean a social appointment with an individual with whom there is a shared interest in potentially pursuing an amorous relationship, I've not had one in over a year. In the interest of full disclosure, I have seen my X, Donny, a fistful of times, and while those times could fall under the heading of "social appointment," they didn't quite meet the rest of the criteria. They were more like social appointments of two individuals between whom there is a shared interest in disengagement.
I have also had quasi-hook-ups with two men. One happened last April with a man who is both in a committed, if elastic, marriage and lives many, many thousand miles away from me. The other took place last August with a man far too young to be taken seriously. While I've written about the first hook-up, I've chosen not to write about the second because it was a fiasco of such depressing dimensions that I'd prefer not to relive it. I suppose that I did date-like things with both of these men, but though adult beverages and food were consumed, and though walks were taken, I don't consider them dates. No future, no date, not to my thinking anyway.
A year and a couple months after becoming single, I suppose I'm ready to start thinking about dating.
It is what single people do, or so I dimly recall. They date, or they think about dating, or they do both and think about dating while on dates, especially if the date in question is going horribly awry, like a Seth Brundle teleportation experiment. I do vaguely recall the flush of excitement preceding a date, the purchasing of garments specifically intended for the dating process, an unusual devotion of time to the body in preparation for the date (one that sometimes included the shaving of toes and other depilatory procedures), an increase in anxiety levels leading up to the date, and then a spectrum of emotions that registered after the date, many of which were recounted in agonizing detail with members of the same sex after the date had come to completion.
I remember there was sometimes kissing, the pressing of lips against other lips or various body parts, often with an introduction of tongues and an exchange of saliva. I also recall that often there was more, sometimes followed by breakfast and other times followed by unintelligible excusatory phrases and the mad search for errant undergarments.
I don't remember many of my dates, and I have had many. My first date with Eff, the man for whom I moved to Gotham, centered on going to a movie theatre to see Purple Rain. My first date with the first of the Twin Peaks was a visit to the Central Park Zoo (an excellent date venue, by the way). I went to Tea and Sympathy, a Brit restaurant on Greenwich Avenue, with C. Donny and I walked along the Hudson and then went to the worst, most fratty bar in the Village. In Boston, I went on a first date with this guy to the beach. We got wet and cold and left early. I went to a coffee bar with a loud talker who nearly screamed his family's inculcation into a cult for all to hear. There was the one date with the Pulitzer Prize-winning author that derailed when he showed me his bullet hole tattoo located over his heart. There was the very bad date with that horrible little lawyer with the itsy-bitsy penis. And that would be just about all the dates I remember clearly. Not so many.
And yet, a quick systems analysis seems to announce that the date light is a go. I'm over Donny in that I don't miss him and feel really quite resolved about our relationship. I am relatively sane and moderately content. I'm fairly confident and rather frisky. According to all internal checks, I am ready to date. My therapist has waved the green flag, and we should be off into the wild dating yonder.
The thing is that I don't remember how. I recollect that dating used to be relatively easy, even when I complained that it wasn't. I used to float through the dating pool and feel that every backstroke took me closer to the buoy, or the boy, as it were. Now, however, I feel like I've forgotten it all. It's like I was once fluent in French and could discuss Derrida but now I bungle an order for a spinach salad. The waiter, I sense, looks down on me and sneers.
I have lost that dating feeling, in short. I feel odd and out of place, like I'm suddenly twelve again, because everyone I could play with is either far too old or far too young. I can't seem to recalibrate my desires to reflect the age I am, and when I do meet men my age, either I don't find them attractive or they're married, or both. But even were I to overcome the empirical obstacle and find that a social Lotto dropped an exceedingly appropriate man in my lap, I'd most likely walk away single. I can't recall how to flirt. I've lost the language of nudges and half-turns and partially open mouths and suggestive self-caresses. I am aphasiac and overly blunt. I may have late onset dating Asperger's.
It's not so much that I'm talking myself out of the dating pool. It's more that I realize that if there is a dominant culture, I'm not part of it. I don't conform well. I'm one of those things that is not like the other, one of those things that just isn't the same. The oddities don't seem to do well in the dating game. I'm sharp of tongue and quick of wit and though I may try to hold back my sarcasm, it always busts through the dam. I can only plug my finger in the dyke for so long. Plus, I don't have many measures of culturally defined success. I have a rag-tag history that makes for some pretty entertaining evenings, but for men who want a solid woman with a straight trajectory, it ain't me, babe. I am one salty, tortuous, tasty bitch.
But the strange thing is that as much as abstractedly I think I might again enjoy dating, I don't much mind being alone. I am once more discovering that the inside of my head is a pretty fun place to be. It's fancifully decorated, for one thing, and it's furnished with many flowered absurdities and a finely functioning parallel universe. I've a busy, busy brain, and it keeps me fairly well entertained. It would be lovely if I could meet someone who enjoys it almost as much as I do (though he will never have the full lay of my Dadaist land), but if I don't, I think I'll be fine. Which is as weird a thought as I've ever had, if not also one as delightful.


text: 15 September 2012 archive See all show photos MOSCHINO'S Cheap & Chic label made its second appearance on the London Fashion Week schedule tonight and proved more than ever that its playful feminine signatures are welcome additions to the capital's show circuit. It's a look that's in demand - there can't be many shows this season that have attracted such an impressive roll call of Brit cool girls, from Alexa Chung and Daisy Lowe to singers Sunday Girl, Delilah and Pixie Lott. For spring/summer 2013, creative director Rossella Jardini looked to the Sixties for inspiration - an era that sat well with the fun witty girliness for which the label is known. New London R&B duo AlunaGeorge performed a version of This Is How We Do It as Chung started dancing in their seats and so the show began. Out came flared trousers worn with buttoned-up jackets in a mix of bright colours; a mix of mini and floor-length dresses, one covered with a bold peace sign; trouser suits in orange and vibrant green and full skirts teamed with soft jumpers adorned with crystal embellishments. A metallic pair of dungarees was given the thumbs up by Chung, who would be their perfect poster girl. Outerwear wasn't overlooked either, with shiny teal and red single-breasted coats. Pineapples were the motif of choice and seen on a bikini, earrings, jumpers and gauzy tops. They even made the shape of bags, the likes of which would have brought a smile to the face of queen of witty accessories Lulu Guinness - who was perched on front row. Footwear was diverse, the Moschino Cheap & Chic customer is in need of two key styles - towering heels for evening partying and practical flats for day-to-day - and they were given both. Flares and cropped trousers were teamed with high wedges, while mini dresses were worn with sporty trainers. "It's wonderful to have Moschino Cheap & Chic in London- it seems at home here," said Vogue executive fashion director Calgary Avansino post-show. "There were fabulous retro references - mad bell bottoms, bright prints and the best running shoes I've seen in a long time. It was all very fun and flattering." After the show, guests were taken outside for pizza, beer and wine - a nod to the label's fun-loving sunny ethos and the perfect way to round up LFW day two.

The California Supreme Court has issued the ruling that everyone expected, affirming the constitutionality of Proposition 8.
Surely, with organizing work and effort, Proposition 8 will be reversed by voters next chance they get. California progressives were taken by surprise by the money and effort poured into Proposition 8 by the Mormon and Catholic churches, but they're not going to be taken by surprise again. Obviously there is still a long way to go on these issues but, historically speaking, acceptance of equal rights for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgenders is coming quite quickly and is just a matter of time, patience, education, and organizing.
Still, this is a sad day for California. Everything that needs to be said about this has already been said, and will now be said many times again. The only useful thing I can think to add is my own photographic record of what turned out to be the last day in 2004 that same-sex marriages were performed in San Francisco -- March 10 -- before the Supreme Court ordered the practice to stop.
I had gone to City Hall that day to take photographs that would accompany an article about same-sex marriage I had written for a Santa Cruz newspaper. I was moved to tears by what I saw -- dozens of marriages being performed everywhere, from the grand rotunda to the balconies, to the little alcoves that help make City Hall such a marvelous piece of architecture. Volunteer county clerks performing one ceremony after another, helping people choose where they would tie the knot, grinning as broadly as the betrothed and their families, it seemed. It was a day of joy and celebration for all, and these photos are, I believe, as clear a statement as any about love, understanding, and the simple goodness of promoting full life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all....

It's that time of the year again! Where we don our jackets and cheer for our favorite teams in the rain, sleet, snow, and hail, and oh yeah, the sunshine sometimes. Football fever is here, and there are ways to scratch that itch that is football. You can also go online and play football, as well as other games for free at BRADY GAMES!
When you are at the game, waiting for the first kickoff, its good to get on the tailgate of the truck, eat some hotdogs, and make the time pass while playing some tailgating games! Of course, the old favorite, finger football, is a good time passer. This is where you fold up a piece of paper very small until it becomes a triangle and you and a buddy, who has perhaps had too much to drink, climb up into the truck and flip the folded paper between the opposing persons outstretched fingers!
However, probably the best game that you can play is that of fantasy football. If you have never tried it, then you are really missing out! At NFL's website, you can log in and sign up for free and create your own team from a roster that is full of talented players in the NFL.
First, you enter into a draft and select the players that you want for your team. You can preselect them, or have the computer auto select them for you. My suggestion is to get the best running back that you can get, the best quarterback, and a couple of wide receivers that are doing well this season, and let the computer auto-pick the rest for you.
After the draft is done, you can go into your roster and make changes to your liking. Beware that some players will have a BYE week, which means that player will not be playing in the game that week, and you will have to make the appropriate changes to him.
When it comes to wagering on the games, a football pool is always fun! Whether its with a group of friends, or a football pool at the office, you can never go wrong spending a $5 dollar bill on the "over-under" score!
So chill out this season, and have fun! Football is among us and its time to scream like banshees! Get out the computer and play online sports games for free at BRADY GAMES!

When the San Francisco 49ers drafted LSU safety Eric Reid with their first-round pick in 2013, 18th overall, coach Jim Harbaugh called him "a top-shelf guy,'' though some draft experts questioned the move. Reid proved more than capable in his rookie season and made one of the NFL's top defenses even better.
He earned a Pro Bowl berth after recording 77 tackles, 62 solo, and four interceptions in his inaugural season. His first interception was against Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Reid's first game as a professional.
The Niners advanced to the NFC conference championship, where they fell to eventual Super Bowl champion -- and hated rival -- Seattle.
Much is expected of Reid in his sophomore season, as of the Niners. But he sounds ready for it.
"You learn a lot in the first year, and I'll be more comfortable (in his second season),'' said Reid, an All-American while at LSU. "Expectations are high for this entire team. We've played in three straight (conference) championships, so our goals remain high.''
The Niners, again, look strong heading into the 2014 season but there do appear to be warning flags. First, they looked awful in their first two preseason games, dropping a 34-0 decision to the Denver Broncos in the first game ever played in San Francisco's new $1.2 billion Levi's Stadium.
The offensive line, thought to be a strength, appeared porous and the defense allowed Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning 102 yards passing and a touchdown as he completed 12 of 14 attempts in limited work.
But the Niners were missing many starters for that game -- six on defense -- and Harbaugh liberally substituted very early.
Nevertheless, the vaunted defense will start the season in the hole. Linebackers Aldon Smith and NaVorro Bowman will likely be on the sideline. Smith is expected to be suspended by the league for six to eight games because of off-the-field issues. Bowman is coming back from a serious knee injury suffered in the playoff game vs. the Seahawks and doesn't yet appear ready for action.
Reid, however, doesn't sound too worried.
"We have to be patient,'' he said. "The coaches have a game plan. They know what they're doing. They want to see different guys do different things.''
By the 10th week of the season, fans will know whether this slow preseason start is an aberration or if the Niners are beginning to slip from their lofty perch.
Nov. 9 the Niners come to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to face the New Orleans Saints.
Growing up in Baton Rouge, Reid was a big Saints fan. He got to face his favorite pro team for the first time last season, making seven tackles in the Niners' 23-20 loss.
He said the defeat was disappointing but he enjoyed the experience of playing at the Dome.
"That game was huge for me,'' Reid said. "I grew up watching the Saints. I was in high school when they won the Super Bowl. I actually had the opportunity to meet Drew Brees. I talked to him on the field. I wanted to intercept him. That would have made the game perfect for me. I had a (pass breakup) against him.
"It was an awesome experience even though we lost the game. That was a special game for me.''
Reid said it will again be special when he returns in November.
Even though the 49ers play in the tough NFC West, they consider the Saints a rival, too, Reid said because the two squads are among the conference's elite.
"I've only played in one, of course, but the last couple of games have been huge games for both teams,'' Reid said. "I imagine it'll be that way this season.''

How is it that they don't seem inspired?
How is it that they have two very good running backs, two very good
receivers, a tight end who is playing very well, and a defense that
ranks #5 - and yet the team gets beat by scores like 17-14?
Its a couple of things. First is obviously the QB play. It stinks.
Second is the offensive philosophy. They have some terrible
playcalling, and some plays that are run far short of "the
sticks"....take for instance a play where it was 3rd and 8, and the
patterns are all 6 yards. What's up with that? While I like the
wildcat, its use is sporadic and does seem to impact the flow of the
Third is a lack of sense of urgency. How can you have so little time
left in the game and be noncalantly walking to the line? We see it
week in and week out, and it really does suck. You want to see them
actually have a fire when they play. They don't.
Fourth is my grandmother factor. This team can't beat my grandmother.
And they should be able to - she's been retired for a number of years
And finally is coaching. Clearly this team has talent. Sparano is a
heck of a guy, and I think he *can* coach. But with the exception of
Mike Nolan, his assistants are all terrible. Dan Henning should hang
it up now. He already cashiered the special teams guy. Where is the
QB coach? Why isn't he coaching up Henne? There is some talent on
the O-line, but the coach can't get the most out of them.
So, in short, I think the solution here is to fire the bulk of the
assistants and give Sparano one more go of it. Assuming of course
he's willing to part with Henne. If not, then Sparano goes, too.

As high school seniors embark on their college experience, some choose to move away, while others have the perfect option right in their backyards. For Tucson-natives Jake Fischer and Jared Tevis, the decision to stay in their home city to attend the University of Arizona came easily.
"It's amazing to have the support of your family and friends so close," Tevis said. "There's nothing really quite like it."
Fischer's decision to stay in Tucson followed Arizona's football successes.
"I didn't know if I was going to be able to go to a Division I school my freshman year in high school," Fischer said. "After freshman year, it came down to a camp with the coaches. I was interested in the University of Arizona because they were turning the program around and they were the first school to talk to me. That was a pretty special experience and it's just a great school right in your backyard."
In addition to a rising program, Tevis and Fischer also had a love for the city of Tucson.
"You get a sense of extra pride because growing up with these people and with the great support system you kind of want to represent for them," Fischer said. "The more local guys you have on the team, you already have some sense of awareness of the other person, whether you played against him or know of him. It creates a special bond."
The ability to play in front of a community you can call your own provides the local football players with an opportunity to enter the Arizona program with a bond - a bond that both players call special.
"Being able to come in with those other guys and being able to play alongside or watch them play from the sideline, that's just incredible," Fischer said. "Tucson doesn't have a ton of guys come out, but when we do, the guys are pretty special obviously. Having that sense of being home and representing for your city gives us a little bit more incentive to work harder."
Tevis agrees that the ability to have local players attend Arizona allows the city to take pride in local talent.
"Tucson is underestimated and I think that's the biggest thing," Tevis explained. "We have a lot of great kids out here and a lot of good people. I think that brings us together because a lot of people don't see that."
The importance of keeping local talent goes further than just the bond that the players are able to share.
"It's huge because a lot of people get overlooked in Tucson and Arizona in general," Tevis said. "When people do get recruited out of Tucson, they get recruited by a lot of schools, so a lot of kids like to leave. I think it's big for our team and this program to keep our talent in state to take advantage of the talent that we do have here. "
With both players advocating for local players to think about Arizona, the pressure they have on their backs to represent Tucson and the university comes from their own willingness to succeed.
"I wouldn't say there's more pressure," Fischer said. "For the most part, I put more pressure on myself. We want to be as good as we can be. We want to reach our potential. We have been hungry since we've been here. I wouldn't say we feel pressured from the outside, more or less we put more pressure on ourselves."
With kickoff in Arizona Stadium just hours away, Tevis will open his junior season against NAU. Meanwhile, Fischer is preparing for the final season opener of his collegiate career.
"I'm just ready to get back out on the field," Tevis said. "It's been way too long. I'm excited to see our defense come together. I think we're going to have a great year. I'm just excited to get the ball rolling."
As the season marks its beginning, Fischer is ready to be back on the field in front of a city he calls his family.
"Going through camp is tough but we're getting ready to go out and put a finished product on the field," Fischer said. "The product is never finished, but you want to get better from week to week. If we could keep getting better and put a product on the field that we're proud, then it will remind us why we worked so hard."

How to shoot yourself in the foot with mdb
By user12625760 on Dec 15, 2006
This would be funny if it were not for the poor customer who actually did this, lead by the hand by an info doc that suggested you do this:
#mdb -kw >do_tcp_fusion/W 0
That is it. No information as to what to do next.
However those of you steeped in adb history, remember mdb has full backward compatibility will now that if you type another address at this point it will repeat the previous command. So it will write 0 to the address specified.
If you were unfortunate enough to not be steeped in adb history they you may not know how to exit from the mdb session. If you were to guess that the way to do this was to type "exit" then mdb happily looks up "exit" in the symbol table, converts that to an address and writes 0 into that address:
# mdb -kw Loading modules: [ unix krtld genunix specfs ufs ip sctp usba s1394 nca ipc nfs audiosup random sppp sd crypto ptm lofs ] > do_tcp_fusion/W 0 do_tcp_fusion: 0x1 = 0x0 > exit exit: 0x9de3bf50 = 0x0 >

It is actually a better way to induce a panic than most of the ones documented in books like Panic.
I've changed the info doc in question to have the command specified as:
echo 'do_tcp_fusion/W 0' | mdb -kw
So that it does not lead any more customers down that path, yes I've trawled sunsolve for all the cases where we suggest mdb -kw and updated them in a similar way.
Update: I also filed bug 6505499

For those of us that are avid recyclers, we know that finding ways to compact materials while keeping within the standards of recycling companies can be a hassle. Some organizations wish for soda cans to be uncrushed, while others don't care either way, and a few companies want cardboard boxes compacted, while others can deal with it either way. Even though all of these rules can be confusing and overwhelming, there are a few ways to appeal to all.
For most, cardboard boxes take up the most space in recycling bins. They're also quite annoying to pull apart and flatten. They can even cause painful cuts on our fingers! But now there's no more need to worry about that, because there's a great solution for getting the boxes flattened without having to tear up your precious skin.
In order to meet the standards of recycling companies such as RecycleBank, you are advised to compact cardboard boxes so their machines can more easily process the material. Now, instead of pulling open the super-glued flaps, why not put the empty boxes on the bottom of the recycle bin and pile everything else on top of it? Here's how you do it: drop the cardboard on the bottom of the bin then dump several layers of paper or other materials that can become heavy on top of it. If all works well, the velocity of the materials being deposited in the bin along with the combined weight of the recyclables should compress the cardboard until it is decently flat. Not only will this allow you to add weight to the bin for when it is picked up, but the cardboard on the bottom can act as sort of a containment of the paper that can fly away when being dumped in the truck!
Another hassling recyclable is aluminum. Aluminum can be soda cans, cans of tuna, and so forth. If you drink a lot of canned beverages, the piles can really add up. Also, instead of crushing the cans in half like we normally have a tendency to do, RecycleBank requests that the material remains in a decently pristine shape as if it came right off the shelf. This is so the recyclables don't get stuck in their machines, which is quite understandable.
Therefore, as an alternative, you can take your aluminum elsewhere. Recycling facilities, such as Colorado Industrial Recycling, take anything and everything, no matter the condition. You can even transport a refrigerator and they'll know what to do with all of its components. With this in mind, you can pack up the aluminum cans (crushed or not) and take them to this location and trade them in for cash. The employees will weigh the contents and give you an appropriate amount of money as compensation. To get the maximum benefit of the trip, it is advised that you flatten the aluminum cans as much as possible and pack them into bags. This will allow you to make fewer trips.
All in all, try to come up with innovative ways to compact your recyclables so you can save time and money while still being green.

The custard apple fruit is taken but naturally from the custard apple tree. This tree is not very attractive to look at. It stands erect with a rounded or spreading crown. The trunk is about 10-14 inches thick. These custard apple trees grow from 4.5-10 meters long. The deciduous leaves of this tree can be either oblong, alternate or narrow lanceolate. These leaves do not have a pleasant smell but are wide with conspicuous veins. This tree is often made up of long drooping branches that can touch the ground. These trees have many light yellow trumpet shaped flowers that emit a sweet fragrance in the evening. Only a small number of these flowers will set fruit. This tree belongs to the Annonaceae family of trees. The custard apple fruit from this tree is rich in taste and can be used in various ways. Some people like it as dessert in the form of ice cream or a tart.
The custard apple fruit is a sweet fruit that has many benefits. Some of these benefits are:-
1. It is low in calorie content and therefore good for maintaining optimum health.2. It contains Vitamin A which is good for the skin, hair, eyes.3. It helps in digestion as it is a rich source of dietary fiber.4. It is a coolant, stimulant and expectorant. 5. It has healing properties as well – the flesh can be applied on boils, abcessess and ulcers.6. The magnesium in custard apples helps to protect the heart from cardiac diseases. It can relax the muscles as well.7. Custard apples can also be used to treat dysentery and diarrhea. 8. It is good for anemic people.9. The potassium present in a custard apple helps fight muscle weakness.10. It is also a rich source of magnesium. It therefore helps to equalize the water balance in the body and this helps in removing acids from the joints. It is thus beneficial for rheumatic and arthritic patients.
This fruit is also known as Cherimoya in the USA. They are considered an exotic fruit in the USA and are in high demand there.
There are many benefits of the green apple fruit and in particular for the skin. Some of these are given below:-
Green apples are a good source of dietary fiber. This dietary fiber helps to regulate bowel movements and improves digestion as well. This also reduces the risk of colon cancer. Green apples are also a rich source of Vitamins A, B,C. These vitamins are known to have whitening and nourishing effects on the skin. Such apples also help to prevent diarrhea and constipation as they contain malic and tartaric acids. Green apples are also good for strong bones and teeth. These help with vision as well. Wood apple is a slow growing tree which is ingenious to India. The wood apple has a brownish pulp inside and is hard and grey on the outside. These apples also have many health benefits and are known for their healing properties. These include:-
These apples contain tannin which helps with digestive conditions like diarrhea. Mixing the juice of the leaves with milk and sugar is very beneficial. Wood apples also contain carotene which is excellent for good vision.
You might be wondering how to eat the delicious custard apple fruit? Keep in mind that custard apples should only be eaten when soft. Only the flesh of the custard apple is eaten, not the skin, like with other fruits. Most ripe custard apples give off a lovely sweet aroma. You can check for ripeness by squeezing it gently. If it gives way slightly under your hand, it is ready to eat. This fruit is usually broken open into half and the fleshy bits are enjoyed. Eating custard apple can be a little tiresome because of the many seeds one has to keep spitting out. A custard apple is never cooked and can be eaten in several different ways. Store custard apples at room temperature until you want to eat them or in the fridge for a few days, if they are already ripe.
Apple custard pie or apple custard cakes are delicious ways to end a meal with the family. Follow the recipe given below for pie.
Take 1-1 ½ cups all purpose flour, ½ cup cold butter, ½ teaspoon salt, 3 cups of peeled and sliced apples (about 4 apples should do), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup sugar. For the custard you need 1 egg, ½ cup sugar and 1 cup evaporated milk. Combine flour, salt and butter till crumbly. Press this into a pie plate and put apples over the crust. Mix the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples. Bake this at 375° for 20 minutes. Whisk all the ingredients for the custard and pour over the apples. Bake till smooth.
There are several apple custard cake recipes that are easy to make as well. These can be found online or in recipe books.
There are several custard apple benefits and these include benefits during pregnancy as well. Some of these benefits are:-
Custard apples contain a great deal of copper which helps the body to form hemoglobin. This is especially useful for pregnant women as they need about 1000 micrograms of copper daily. Eating custard apples during pregnancy is therefore beneficial for the mother and child. Custard apples are a rich source of Vitamin B. This fruit is also a rich source of Vitamin C. Custard apples in a dried and powdered form can be used to treat lice. Custard apples contain potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates. Skin infections such as abcessess or ulcers can be treated with custard apple. Simply grind the flesh into a thick paste and apply it to the affected area.
Here is one of the many easy custard apple recipes.

Medical Lake's defense came to the rescue in the end. But only after a lack of it helped dig the Cardinals into a hole in the first place last Wednesday in a Northeast A League baseball game at Kettle Falls.
The Cardinals (3-1 NEA, 4-1 overall) rallied from deficits or 3-0 and 5-1 to beat the Bulldogs 7-6, earning a split in their week's games following a 4-2 loss at Freeman (2-0, 2-0), last Tuesday.
In the top of the eighth Cory Wagner walked to open the inning then stole second. Tristen Keith bunted Wagner over to third and scored on a passed ball for the winning run.
But Kettle Fal...

This post is long but that's because it's chock full of links, references, & other
goodies freebies.
Before I get into the printable & download, I wanted to give a shout-out to an awesome website/digital publisher I discovered through some research I'm doing on publishing children's books. I have a manuscript in the works but I am debating whether to go the "traditional publishing" route or to self-publish in an e-book format. There are pros and cons to both avenues which I won't get into now but I just wanted to write about what I've been up to lately.

Cheney starts slow, scores 26 unanswered points before Greyhounds complete comeback
October 3, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 24
John McCallum
Cheney running back Austin Kline breaks free from Pullman defenders en route to a 53-yard third quarter touchdown.
If anything, Cheney's 29-26 Great Northern League loss Friday to Pullman provided a good learning experience.
The Blackhawks learned a number of things, one being they have the ability to rally from a big deficit. But they also learned something that might prove just as valuable.
"When you get up on somebody, you never let off the gas," head coach Jason Williams said.
Cheney fell behind 14-0 to the visiting Greyhounds in the first quarter, rallied to score the next 26 points for a 26-14 lead only to have the Greyhounds score twice in the fourth and have a late-game rally fall short on...
