Wisconsin Governor Scott Walter, a polarizing Republican leader who made national headlines when he battled with labor unions last year, has set up a criminal defense fund in anticipation of an investigation and possible criminal charges related to several of his former staff members.
According to a recent report from the Huffington Post, Gov. Walker has begun to raise money for the "John Doe" investigation of activities that took place during his tenure as a Milwaukee County executive.
In an official statement released a few weeks ago, Gov. Walker said that officials in Milwaukee County have been "examining issues related to former employees of the County" for almost two years.
He also said that he has "repeatedly pledged" his "cooperation with that inquiry," and he promised not to use taxpayers' dollars to assist him in combating potential charges.
In order to avoid using public money for his legal defense, Gov. Walker has established a fund to collect cash to hire a criminal defense attorney to help him defend himself. The staunch conservative would no doubt be embarrassed if he had to rely on public dollars to defend any charges against him.
The investigation, though, has become fairly serious. Sources indicate that the investigation has already led to charges being filed against six of the governor's top employees.
Apparently, the Milwaukee County district attorney's office believes that some of Gov. Walker's former staffers did political work with money that belonged to taxpayers.
Not surprisingly, Democrats in Wisconsin have leapt at the chance to criticize the controversial governor. According to Mike Tate, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, Walker is the first governor in Wisconsin history to ever need to create a criminal defense fund.
In Tate's words, Gov. Walker "has bent and broken the rules that should govern the conduct of an executive. Every citizen, regardless of party, agrees that our government should be free of corruption. It looks very much like Scott Walker has not given Wisconsin this honor."
While Gov. Walker should be assumed innocent until he is proven guilty, the court of public opinion in Wisconsin seems to already have weighed in on the matter.
A recent poll conducted by the Marquette University Law School found that the governor' favorability rating had recently dropped to just 46 percent, and that 52 percent of survey respondents said the pending investigation was "really something serious."
Time will tell whether the governor's criminal defense fund will even be necessary, but waves of discontent seem to be pouring through Wisconsin.

Dr. Robert Lustig became famous for his lecture called "Sugar: The Bitter Truth." He followed it with a best-selling book "Fat Chance: Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease" (click for details). Now Dr. Lustig is spreading the word about how you can make sugar-free foods without "Frankenfood" ingredients in his new cookbook, which he discussed in a March 25 interview with the Houston Chronicle.
His mission: Help consumers understand the life-threatening risks inherent in the Standard American Diet (SAD), with its overload of sugar, refined starch and chemicals.
Dr. Lustig contends that the American processed-food industry is reaping profit without concern for the health impact of their products.
There is tremendous profit to them when you look at the food cost. It's 10 cents on the dollar for food, 15 cents for the packaging. It's 20 cents on the dollar for marketing and 55 cents for their profit. So they have every reason to keep doing what they're doing because this is their juggernaut. The problem is that it's killing us.
A pediatric endocrinologist who runs a weight management clinic for children and families at the University of California, San Francisco, designed the cookbook to appeal to all members of the family. It's entitled "The Fat Chance Cookbook: More Than 100 Recipes Ready in Under 30 Minutes to Help You Lose the Sugar and the Weight" (click for more information).
He focuses on teaching consumers to enjoy foods that don't promote or contribute to disease, which means avoiding "refined carbohydrates and sugars."
Although he's known for his stance against sugar, Dr. Lustig views the "anti-processed food guy" as a more appropriate nickname, he noted in a recent interview with the New York Times. Bottom line: All calories are not created equal. Which means that if you go on a calorie-cutting diet that includes sugar, "it can't work."
Dr. Lustig's books answer the question: "Once you realize that all calories are not the same, what do you do?"
And the answer: Overcome your addiction to and use of sugar and processed foods. Only by achieving that goal can you attain true health and permanent weight loss, says Dr. Lustig.
And as Dr. Lustig proves in his cookbook, you can make meals that the entire family will enjoy that have no sugar. As for his own favorite recipe?
"Polenta patties with sautéed greens, poached eggs, Roma tomatoes and basil salsa. Hands down winner. It's vegetables for breakfast. Even though it has carbohydrate, it's unrefined. It's high in fiber and micronutrients. It's the highest quality protein: eggs. And it's just downright amazing," he says proudly.

Polenta Patties With Sauteed Greens, Poached Eggs, Roma Tomatoes and Basil Salsa
Polenta is corn, but coarse and unrefined. Team it with some vegetables and you can get children to eat veggies for breakfast.
1 batch polenta (see below)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cups greens: spinach, chard or kale, rinsed
6 eggs
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1/2 cup Roma Tomato Basil Salsa (see below)
1 cup corn grits or cornmeal
4 cups water
Salt to taste
Bring water and salt to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once the liquid is boiling, slowly add the grits or cornmeal, stirring constantly with a whisk to keep lumps from forming. When the grain is mixed smoothly into the liquid, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 30 minutes until very thick. Stir occasionally to keep the polenta from sticking. Allow to cool in an oiled 8-inch square pan or loaf pan.
1 pound Roma tomatoes, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 tablespoon garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Mix the tomatoes, garlic, basil, oil, balsamic vinegar, pepper and salt together in a bowl. The salsa is best when used immediately. Yield: 2 cups.
1. Remove the polenta from the pan and divide into six servings.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the polenta slices and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the polenta slices to a plate and keep warm.
3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan and sauté the greens until wilted and tender.
4. Heat 2 inches of water just to a boil in a separate medium-size frying pan, add the white vinegar, then reduce the heat to low. Crack the eggs into the water and poach them until desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for soft yolks. Using a slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the water, being careful not to break the yolks. Transfer the eggs to a plate.
5. Place a polenta patty on each of six plates. Top each patty with greens and a poached egg. Pour salsa over all. Or, place all the polenta slices on a platter, top with greens, poached eggs and salsa.

I'm backing up a Linux machine (Ubuntu 10.04) with rsync over SSH.
If I specify for my path something like "home/jason" it works just fine. "home/jason" is translated into "/home/jason". But how do I back up my root directory, i.e. "/"? Logic would have it that, since a slash gets slapped onto the front of whatever you put for path, a blank path would come through as "/". That's not the case, though. A trick like "home/../" doesn't work, either.
How do I back up the root directory?

This is a website documenting the construction of my first and not last homebuilt airplane. I'll be building an RV-3 from Vans Aircraft. If you're not an aviation enthusiast and you don't know what an RV-3 is, then before you read any farther you need to check out www.vansaircraft.com. So it's a single seat sport aerobatic plane with a top speed of 207mph. It's primarily constructed of aluminum and held together with about 13,000 rivets. I estimate this plane will take about 2000 man-hours and 5 years to build. I'm sure it will be the most challenging and rewarding project I've ever worked on. So check back often to keep up to date on how it's coming!
My name is Rob Holmes, Email me at email@example.com if you have any questions or comments.
Current Status: On 12/11/2011 N59LG flew for the first time. You can see a few videos of the first flight on youtube by searching rph142. It has been a great ride and I hope I have as much fun flying it as I did building!

Adorable but small, even for juniors
These are such cute designs, and they're sturdy and well-made but they're tiny. They're too small for the 4 six-year-olds I had try them on. I'd market them to preschoolers.

The Paleo diet has become a popular phenomenon in our modern culture. Paleolithic nutrition is based on the premise that human genetics have scarcely changed since the dawn of agriculture, and modern humans are genetically adapted to the diet of their Paleolithic, hunter-gatherer ancestors. Therefore an ideal diet for human health and well being is one that resembles this ancestral diet.
Centered on commonly available modern foods, the contemporary Paleo diet consists mainly of fish and seafood, grass-fed pasture raised meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, roots, nuts, seeds, potatoes, herbs, and spices. Healthier oils including olive oil and coconut oil are permitted. Refined vegetable oils, such as canola should be avoided. It excludes refined salt, refined sugar, processed foods, legumes, grains, and dairy products. This is based on the simple premise that if the cavemen didn't eat it, we shouldn't either. The fruits and vegetables, rich in vitamins, potassium and fiber, represent an important feature of hunter-gatherer diets. What you eat and how much depend on your goals or the specific program you're on, if you choose to follow one.
Water is the drink of choice, although some advocates also recommend tea as a healthy drink. Unlike raw food diets, all foods may be cooked, without restrictions. Since the diet uses non processed foods, it has been touted as a healthy anti- inflammatory and disease preventing way of eating.
Loren Cordain, PhD, who wrote the book on The Paleo Diet, claims that by eating like our prehistoric ancestors, we'll be leaner and less likely to get diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and other health problems.
There's no calorie counting, and the fiber-rich fruits and vegetables will fill you up, as will the lean meat or seafood. Some followers of the diet eat mainly fish and seafood instead of the grass fed meats.
There are two popular books on the Paleo diet.
- Paleoista: Gain Energy, Get Lean, and Feel Fabulous with the Diet You Were Born to Eat by Nell Stephenson (2013).
- The Paleo Diet Revised: Lose Weight and Get Healthy by Eating the Foods You Were Designed to Eat by Loren Cordain (2011).
News & World Report's experts say the Paleo diet is too restrictive for most people to follow long term, and that it limits some essential nutrients.
So what is your view on the Paleo diet?

Blood rolls down my arm like spattered rain.
The question they ask is too much pain.
Gay, straight, or bi they ask?
I always said no to first and last.
Dating the girl we all know from school?
I said no as if they were fools.
Why must they know these things?
It's not like there not true anyways.
I'm dating that girl from school,
Gay and happy just as they asked.
They ask me these things again and again,
Hoping to break me down so I confess.
But if I confess they will hurt me with their words and fists.
Wouldn't it be better to end my life just like this?
Surely it would be better in the afterlife?
But then I think about my hopeful future wife,
And how sad she would be,
If her partner took her own life.

I have a big passion for retro/classic candies. I think the biggest reason, aside from the fact that they're usually delicious, is that they're a marriage between two of some of my favorite things: food and history. So when I heard about the very retro/regional bar The Blue Monday, hailing from Kentucky, you bet I was super eager to get my hands on one. It took me a few years to finally get around to ordering myself some on the internet, but it was well worth the wait.
The package design is very classic, and reminds me of my favorite candy bar of all time: the Zero bar. It's a bright silver wrapper with blue writing on it. The specific bars I got here have the 135th Kentucky Derby date and location on it. Just goes to show what a local candy this is!
The whole bar clocks in at 1 oz and 130 calories, which is a nice size for an afternoon snack. The ingredients are simple: sugar, water, cream, and bittersweet chocolate. Very straightforward and honest.
The bar is the size of a credit card and looks like a brick with a nice rippling texture from the chocolate enrobing. It smells wonderfully chocolatey with notes of sweetness, cream, cocoa and coconut.
My much anticipated first bite is immediately a surprise to me, as it's very soft. It looks so hard and dense so I was expecting the center to be similar to taffy. Instead it's very solid, very sweet, and immediately soft and airy on my tongue. It dissolves quickly and cleanly with no slick or greasy feel. The inside is actually a type of traditional cream pull candy, which is a more airy and light taffy. So in a way, my expectations were right.
The flavor is sweet, lightly milky and similar to marshmallows minus the vanilla. The chocolate is rich and solid in flavor with a pleasant creaminess. Very classic and old fashioned tasting, and I'm immediately smitten with it.
I'm so happy I finally gave this bar a try, and even though it wasn't exactly what I was expecting (which, to be totally fair, I had no idea what to expect) it turned out to be something better. Just goes to show there's a reason these bars are still made today!

The keyword delete is used to destroy the single variable memory created dynamically which is pointed by single pointer variable.Eg: int *r=new(int)the memory pointed by r can be deleted by delete r.delete [] is used to destroy array of memory pointed by single pointer variable.Eg:int *r=new(int a[10])The memory pointed by r can be deleted by delete []r.
If "a" is an array of objects then , delete a --> Destructor routine is called only for the first object in the array and the entire array is de-allocated from memory.delete [] a --> Destructor routine is called for each of the objects in the array and subsequently the complete array is de-allocated from memory.
delete operator is used to delete ordinary variable which has been created dynamically pointed by pointer variable.e.g: int *p=new int a;This memory can be deleted by using "delete p";delete[] is used to delete array variable which has been created dynamically pointed by single pointer variable.eg:int *p=new int a[10];this memory can be deallocated by "delete []p";
The delete operator destroys the object created with new by deallocating the memory associated with the object. The delete[] operator free storage allocated for array objects created with new[].
When you allocate a memory to an array using :char *buff = new char[BuffLength]....You need to use delete []buff.Now consider a case where you have allocated memory to an integer var, as below :int iNum = new int;Then after processing you can use delete iNum.
delete is used when you want to delete single variable or a single object which is created at runtime and delete[] is used to specify that you want to delete an entire array which was created at runtime.
Look at this sample codeint* pI = new int; //allocates 2 bytesint *pJ = new int[30];//allocates memory for storing 30 integers//Do stuffdelete pI;delete[] pJWe can see that delete[] "deletes" not a single "thing" but an array of things whereas delete just deletes a single entity.
Whenever you allocate memory with 'new[]', you have to free the memory using 'delete[]'. When you allocate memory with 'new', then use 'delete' without the brackets. You use 'new[]' to allocate an array of values (always starting at the index 0).
delete operator is used to delete a single object which we have created using the new operator like this //create objectObject obj = new Object();//delete the objectdelete obj;and delete[] is used to delete all the objects in an array using the new operator like this//create array of objectsObject obj[] = {new Object(),new Object()};//delete the array of objectsdelete[] obj;Basically when we use delete operator with some object, it perform two action first it execute its destructor and then destroy it from memory, we use delete[] operator with array of object to call the destructor of all array objects.
Whenever you allocate memory with 'new[]', you have to free the memory using 'delete[]'.When you allocate memory with 'new', then use 'delete' without the brackets. You use 'new[]' to allocate an array of values (always starting at the index 0).Code:// allocates a single integer int *pi = new int; // allocates an array of 10 int *pi_array = new int[10]; delete pi; pi = 0; delete [] pi_array; pi_array = 0;
"delete p" will free the space allocated by the pointer p, "delete[] p" will free the all the space allocated by array of pointer p.
There are same when a normal variable is deleted but when an array is deleted "delete" deletes the first element of array where as "delete []" deletes the complete array.
When we use only delete it does not delete whole dynamically allocated memory for array it only delete first memory allocation which contain base address of array but in delete[] it delete whole memory allocation.
delete is used for deleting the memory allocated for single element.delete[] is used for deleting the memory allocated for array of elements.
Delete is used to deallocate the memory allocated by new. Delete[] is used to deallocate the group of memory allocate by new[].
delete command deletes the object created by the new command so that it free the memory allocated to that particular object.delete [] command does same as that of above delete command. However the difference is it deletes an array of objects created by new [] command so that it free the memory allocated to an array of objects.
Delete will delete only single object, and delete[] will delete array of objects.
If u have created as array of some data type using NEW ie in the heap then we should use delete [] <arrayname>which deletes the complete array.else if we use delete <arrayname>only the first element will be deleted and others will still be there in the heap. These will lead to memory leak,
When v talk bout delete keyword, we intend to delete just an object in focus. On the other hand delete[] is required when ve intend to delete an array of objects.
delete is used to deallocate single memory while delete[] is used for deallocate array of memory.
If you want to delete one element you have to use delete, And suppose if you have to delete array of elements then you have to use delete[].
Delete is used to destroy object created using new for deallocation of memory,whereas delete[] is used to destroy array of object created by new[].
Delete just deletes the pointer to an objectDelete[] deletes an array of pointers
delete is the common keyword that frees allocated memory, whereas delete[] is the overloaded version of delete, overloaded to use delete on multidimensional arrays
The use of square brackets to indicate that what we are deleting is an array. When removing arrays from the free store, you should always include the square brackets or the results will be unpredictable. Note also that you do not specify any dimensions here, simply [].
delete is used to delete a single memory allocation, but delete [] is used for deleting an array of memory.
delete is used to delete a single object that is already allocated using the new operator whereas delete[] is used to delete an array of objects that is already allocated by the new[].
deleteis a keyword & delete[] is a function

Welcome to the Frome For All website
Website last updated: December 2015
The Frontier planning application for the Saxonvale site in Frome town centre has been withdrawn. The plan was for a range of new shops, new public squares, new business space, a new home for the FETE adult learning centre, a new hotel and a riverside walk. The development would have brought around 300 new jobs to Frome town centre.
There were unresolved planning issues and a need to update the plans to reflect changes in the retail and commercial market. We do not know at this stage what will happen next, but you can be assured that we will continue to monitor the situation and campaign for any future scheme that is in line with our position and priorities.
Our priority for the Saxonvale site remains to maximise retail and other commercial and community uses so that it delivers a substantial extension to the town centre. We want a town centre that better meets the needs of all local people and thereby significantly reduces the need to travel out of town for shopping or for other purposes.
Frome For All Supporters on a visit to the Saxonvale site
Frome For All is a community campaign group that wants to see a vibrant, diverse and thriving town that meets the needs of all.
We want to reduce Frome's over reliance on out of town supermarkets and the need for regular shopping trips to other towns by many residents.
We want shopping facilities, especially in the town centre, that meet the needs of the whole community so that many more people shop locally.
We want to see a good range of new shops in a town centre development at Saxonvale, including a supermarket large enough to draw many customers back from the out of town stores.
Our name reflects our campaign to ensure that Frome develops in a way that meets the needs of all local people.
> For more information on Frome For All, please click on the 'About Us' page.
> To show your support please complete the form below.
> To read some quotes from local people on our campaign please scroll down (below the form).
You will be redirected to our homepage once your form has been submitted.
Here are some quotes from the campaign:
These quotes do not necessarily represent the views of FromeFor All
PW, Frome.
"I am glad at long last someone is talking Frome up for a change, I have lived here for 50 years and have seen Frome grow into a bustling town but sadly have seen it go back ... As a taxi driver in Frome trade is poor especially since Somerfield closed ... Good luck with the campaign."
JB, Frome.
something for the ordinary people of Frome. We badly need a
supermarket in the middle of town, and with a free carpark it would
bring people not only to the supermarket, but they would go into town.
We have so few affordable shops ... and not one decent shoe shop."
"People have been waiting for something to be done to this site for years and many of us were hopeful that Asda could be persuaded to build there, but to no avail. Frome is not just a heritage trail museum for middle class residents. It also contains many 1000's of us who live in normal modern housing estates, so let's get this into perspective. If too small a supermarket is built we shall find it closing some years down the road and more disruption .."
PW, Frome.
Please include me as a supporter of any movement which wants to restore the centre of Frome as a destination for shoppers of all types, not just those who have the inclination and income to buy the handpainted, the handmade, the organic or the free range.
As an ex Londoner with 7 years in the town I am sure I am typical of many, who, along with other long term Frome residents, want a vibrant town centre. We have a great opportunity to redevelop our centre so that everybody will want to shop here and not Trowbridge, let us not waste the opportunity by ignoring economic realities.
"Another point made by several people was how much benefit a good sized
town centre supermarket would be to those without cars or with limited
mobility. Many of these people find that they need to go to the out of town
stores, but find the taxi fares difficult to afford. They would find it much
easier if their supermarket was in the town centre amongst the other shops and
services they use."
"How refreshing to hear the opposite of the strong views expressed by the anti-supermarket lobby. Well done, and I hope others will join you in expressing the need for a'decent' sized supermarket in the heart of the town (Saxonvale) along with other shops. The reasons you give for bringing the town centre to life and
drawing back shoppers who would otherwise go out of town are valid and
relevant. I wish you success and hope you will have many folk responding to

MC, Frome.
"The reality is almost certainly that if a decent sized supermarket does not come, other new shops won't either. Town centres need to include the shops people use most often - and the type of shop the majority of people use most often is a supermarket."
JR, Frome.
"Frome is not just a heritage trail museum for middle class residents. It also contains many 1000's of us who live in normal modern housing estates, so let's get this into perspective. If too small a supermarket is built we shall find it closing some years down the road and more disruption .."

Teresa Giudice's daughters make frequent appearances on the "Real Housewives of New Jersey," and Milania is using the opportunity to share her closet. Wetpaint reports on Friday that Milania wants viewers to see her clothes and shoes. Teresa joins her daughter on the tour for the cameras and is shocked by some of the things she finds in the closet.
Near the beginning of the video about Milania's closet, Teresa discovers her daughter has been hiding some of her boots. She is surprised to see her Roberto Cavalli shoes are located on a bottom shelf, and it seems Milania did not ask for permission to borrow them. She may be too small to wear them right now, but she is not ready to give them back. Although she frequently posts fashion updates on her official Twitter account, Teresa has not shared the fate of these shoes with her followers.
Milania's large closet is filled with some of the typical items fans might expect to see a young girl wear. She has the usual pieces ranging from colorful leggings to denim skirts. However, Milania also has a dress that resembles the one worn by Dorothy in the "Wizard of Oz." It is not clear if this a leftover from Halloween or simply something Teresa bought for her to wear for fun, but it seems she likes the dress.
Although Teresa recognizes one of her expensive bags on a shelf in Milania's closet, her daughter insists it is her bag and begins to scream. She is also upset after Teresa discovers she has been hiding her jewelry in a locked box. The reality star finds her watch, bracelet, ring and other items, but she is forced to beg her daughter to return them. The "Real Housewives of New Jersey" is sometimes accused of exploiting the children on the show for ratings. However, Milania seems to enjoy showing off her closet on Bravo, and Teresa is willing to help her.

Mission help, on stealing Veraxo containers
I apologize for not having the mission name handy but here goes nothing. In the mission you have to destroy a bunch of Veraxo fighters, you have three wingmen to help you with the names secforce 1,2, and 3.
I can get to the end of the mission where you are starring at an asteroid with a base. I have two problems though. First, once all Veraxo ships are destroyed my wingmen start targeting and firing on the freighters so I end up destroying my wingmen so I do not lose the mission. The other problem I have is that I have to dock at the base and drop of Aeron to complete the mission. Well, I tried both hangers (targeted them as well using the comma key) and docking with them. I however am not able to get into the base to drop her off and complete the mission.
When it says docked or boarded, wait 2 minutes and it will say that Aeron got off and you win the mission. As for your wingmates attacking cargo ships it happened to me too.
May the Force screw you everything you do except sex or should you get screwed? Stop you're confusing me.
As soon as you reach the asteroid area (and taken out the last Viraxo) order your wingmen to wait for orders, they will stop where they are and not bother anyone.
To dock, just target the base and hit shift-d. You should dock onto the top of the base.

Yes, I have actually registered a new domain and started on a new project or product. The idea is a pretty simple one that involves startup promotion. The concept is simple enough, but I'm trying to stay focused on keeping it simple and to the point.
That is probably the hardest part of building any new product. You come up with that single point of focus, but then you start to already add feature requests mentally. Right now the project is not anywhere close to being released to the world at this time. In fact, if you went to the domain, all that is there is the framework software.
What I have done in the past few days of pushing out the old SwarmSports has kept me occupied. That coupled with adding a feature that I omitted from the original re-release of that project. After some testing today, I think (I hope!) that will now just run without much interaction.
I guess at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter much, but I'm quite particular about my projects going all janky even if the project has no traction. It doesn't matter to me about the last fact. I guess it's more like pride in the product that is associated to my reputation. Doesn't matter if no one uses the product but myself and maybe a few other people, I still have that product attached to my credentials. That makes me particular about it working correctly.
Now I hope that I can finally let that old project run and remain focused on this new project. There are a lot of places that do this, and hopefully my spin on the self promotion startup task will become more fun with my product. Once I have more information and have a MVP ready to release, I'll let you all know. I'm usually pretty decent at spreading the word on anything I'm super involved in or proud of.
Until that time, I'll probably be blogging less again just to get this product to MVP. Don't take that as a promise. You never know, I could be blogging daily again if I need an outlet to tell everyone how it's going on the new product.ViralRank: 2

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Looking at the URL the zz is used to hide the actual domain name in the tutorial. AFAIK, there is no such domain TLD .zzz.
I am not sure what you are asking, but...
zzz is not a valid TLD (from the image) and would not resolve. zzz.com is a valid domain name however.
Domain Name: ZZZ.COM
... and zz.zz.zz.zzz.com is not valid at the time of this writing, but was possible when you came across it.
The whole thing looks sketchy. I would avoid it.
As far as I can tell, and considering you screenshot, what you have there, is a pointer about how to use/reference the code found in HaddopQuaques. So the URL that you show, is from a tutorial, representing how you would acces to the code in your machine or in a server.

And no, folks, this does not signal a weekly NASCAR thread. You may resume your Sunday alcohol consumption.
However, we have a couple of NASCAR fans on this Blog, and since unlike every other sport, NASCAR essentially begins its season with its signature "Super Bowl" of a race, I thought it might be entertaining to welcome it back with a thread hailing the Great American Race, the Daytona 500.
Except this year, they might as well rename it the "Danica 500." In case you've been sitting on a hillside in the Catskills, you may have heard the big news that relatively new NASCAR driver and Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick won the pole.
Meanwhile, there are drivers who have switched teams (most notably Matt Kenseth and Joey Logano) and there are distinct improvements to the race cars themselves. Of course, I suppose I'd be delusional to hope that the politically correct France family would dump the ethanol and the hybrid pace cars. Also, I'm not sure but I believe this will be the first year Ryan Newman will no longer have the U.S. Army as the chief sponsor of his 39 car. Because it was really important to cut "advertising" – especially to your target market – that is visible for four hours.
No, instead the race is all about how Danica is on the pole. It's a major achievement for her. Actually, I've followed her career in NASCAR — it'd be a major achievement for her if she could finish a race without wrecking. I think she has one top 20 finish in her Sprint Cup career – because 20 of the cars behind her were wrecked and off the track. There's nothing stellar about her racing ability, and she brings nothing but pretty to the sport. And yeah, if I had the requisite amount of testosterone, I can understand red-blooded males wanting to look at her rather than Mark Martin. Until you heard the words "Drivers – start your engines!"
Recently Darryl Waltrip, who started out in the "not bad" category when Fox Sports took to the broadcasting of the entire NASCAR season in 2001, has morphed instead into the most cloying, obnoxious and annoying twit in racing color commentary, took his head out of Kyle Busch's ass long enough to pronounce Danica "the new face of NASCAR." Ooookay. Danica, by the way, finished 17th in the Budwieser "Duel" on Thursday – which determines the remainder of the field after positions 1 and 2. Of course, the drooling NASCAR writers said her abysmal performance was due to the fact that "she was saving her car." Of course, how could I have missed it — "She MEANT to finish so poorly!" If it was all about saving her car, why didn't she just move to the rear where she'd really be safe?
Which is why I won't be watching any pre-race coverage today, and plan to keep the big screen on mute until I see the green flag drop after a couple pace laps. Because, pre-race coverage will be limited to the following:
1. They will be mentioning every three minutes that Danica has the pole.
2. That they will ask every driver they interview how important is it that Danica has the pole.
3. That they will interview Danica every fifteen minutes about how she has the pole. And they will show at least three times the qualifying run where Danica got the pole.
4. They will start an online poll and Twitter hashtag asking viewers how important is it that Danica has the pole.
5. We will hear every statistic imaginable about how many times the pole sitter has won the Daytona (17% by the way) and why it's probable that Danica could join that fraternity.
Of course, after the green flag drops and seventeen drivers pass Danica before the end of the first lap, we'll hear that no one expected her to do that well anyway….
In the meantime, if you watch the race and have no driver in particular to root for, may I put in a pitch for my guy, Tony Stewart, in the No. 14 car. And I apologize in advance for his Office Depot commercials.

Sainsbury's Jelly - 7p
Yep, that's right, only seven pence. What else could you buy for that these days? The packaging proudly declared 'less bite more wobble' and by thunder Mr J Sainsbury was right. 4/5
Tesco - 19p
A nice texture that held its shape after a night spent in the fridge. But it was a trifle too strong in the taste department for my palette, with a strong artificial flavour. 3/5
Jumpin Jelly for Aldi- 19p
Fun name equals fun taste, or that was what I hoped. The jelly was extremely light to the touch and at times as slippery as a fish. Not bad flavour, but the poor consistency let it down. 3/5
Castello for Lidl - 19p
Really looked the business when it wobbled into the cold light of day. However on further inspection this was as chewy as a Wellington boot. As for the suspicious smell of burnt rubber, the less said the better. 2/5
Asda - 7p
Like the bright colours of a venomous snake, this jelly gave off a warning with its hideous green and white basic packaging. A very peculiar taste with a smell of school PVA glue. 1/5
Jelly on a plate

Another member of the Cali Swag District has passed away. This time it wasn't a stray bullet that caused the death but instead a rare disease. According to TMZ on Saturday, JayAre of "Teach Me How To Dougie" fame lost his battle with sickle cell anemia. He was just 25-years old.
It's been reported that JayAre, whose real name is Cahron Childs, went into cardiac arrest on Friday. He had already been hospitalized for unknown reasons on Thursday and was still hospitalized when he went into cardiac arrest. According to his surviving band mate Smoove Da General, JayAre began having seizures while sleeping on his mother's couch on Thursday
Unfortunately JayAre is not the first member of the group to die. Montae "M-Bone" Talbert was murdered in 2011 in a drive by shooting. The lone surviving member of Cali Swag District is Chante "Yung" Glee. He was reportedly sitting in his car in a liquor store parking lot when he was shot twice in the head. In his honor, Cali Swag District released their single, "How To Do That" just three days after his death.
The song "Teach Me How To Dougie" took the nation by storm in 2010. The single went platinum twice and got the whole nation doing the "Dougie," a popular dance. Even Michelle Obama demonstrated the "Dougie" while on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." No other releases from the group attained that high level of attention. They released a mixtape in 2014 called "The Kickback."
Even though Cali Swag District never lived up to their full potential, this is a huge loss to the hip hop community. JayAre and the rest of his group made history with "Teach Me How To Dougie" and ignited a dance craze like none other. JayAre will certainly be missed. Please leave your condolences for the friends and family of JayAre in the comments below.

Hardcore WaxingI've been waxing for years. I've found 2 products I really love throughout these years, Parissa & Moom. These strips are easy and quick. They do a great job of grabbing hair, you can even reuse the strip (even though it says not to) up to 3 times. I cut them in half to do my underarms. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is because of the cost, they're pretty pricey. And another not so fun thing is that the stuff is sticky - although rightly so. You definitely need the oil included (which is very nice by the way), it helps remove the stickiness and helps with any irritation. I would give them 4.5 stars if I could. Happy waxing

I want to know why I see at least 8 deer a day somewhere on my property...except during deer season, when you hardly ever see one.
Do they read the Game and Fish regulations when they come out and are placed at the Walmart sports section?
Do they discuss when and where to appear and when not too?
Do they have all of my deer stand locations mapped out?
Are they watching me as soon as I step out the door with a rifle/shotgun/pistol?

I agree with you, but that's their reasoning. I've seen a fair share of animals, deer included, walk across the range while people were shooting.

Have you heard of the BEK? Sometimes named the BEC.
They are the Black Eyed Kids or...the Black Eyed Children.
They have no "whites" to their eyes. Usually the artists renderings of them or the photo-shopped fake photos of them are incorrect. They show a highlight spot in the blackness of their eyes. I got a close enough look at one to know that the eyes are just empty black voids. They do not have black eyeballs.
They always want one thing. To be let in. Reportedly they need to be invited in or they cannot enter.
Sometimes they are alone. Sometimes there are two of them. Much less often they are in a small group of five or less.
Here is my personal story. Years ago I was staying/sleeping alone in what was the kitchen boys cabin at a Pennsylvania summer camp that I was a counselor at.
I instructed rifle. The camp season had not begun yet. I was up there with some other counselors getting things ready for camp. There were no children at the camp at this time. Farmers Union (a pre-camp event) had all left 4 days earlier.
I was asleep and at around 2:00 in the morning I heard a light, timid, knock on the door (which was not locked) that was what woke me up.
I got up off of the cot (we slept on surplus Army cots) and opened the door expecting to see one of the other counselors or the camp director.
What I saw instead was a child around 13 or possibly years old. Initially when I opened the door I was looking straight ahead expecting to see a full grown adult or at least a young man.
It was an instant later that I looked down and that was when I saw the kid looking up with hollow black eyes. He immediately looked down so that I could not see those eyes.
I asked him what he was doing in camp & at the same time realizing that was a totally dumb question because the entire scenario was surreal and it all made no logical sense. There were no kids in the camp yet.
Even though still slightly groggy due to just waking up from a deep sleep I knew that the camp was in the middle of nowhere and that there were no children or families living anywhere near there either.
Also and exactly at the same time those words came out of my mouth I experienced an overpowering feeling of (not fear) but, imminent or impending dread...is the best I can describe the feeling.
Also keep in mind that at the time I had already been in far worse real life situations when I not felt or experienced any feelings of peril or dread.
It was in the same few seconds that this was all registering that I heard him say. "Will you let me in? It's quite cold out here and I need you to let me in."
Those of you who know me also know that I am not the sort of person that would ever deny help or assistance to any kid that was in trouble.
Whatever this kid was though was though what he (it) was though was not human. By this time (and I don't even consciously remember closing it) the door was almost all the way closed and I was looking through the space in the slightly opened door with my bare foot keeping the door from possibly being pushed open.
It was then that I got another look into those black eyes which were just the black nothingness of space inside open eyelids.
That was when he (it) said (LOUDER): "I told you that I'm freezing out here and I need to come in just to get warm! I need you to let me come in!!"
That was when I shut the door and put the sliding bot lock on.
I'm guessing that for a few seconds after I heard pounding lower down on the wooden door and..."You bastarrd...You won't let me in & you know how cold it is out here."
After that total silence. I stayed awake all that night & I was wide awake enough to know that it wasn't all a bad dream. I don't have bad dreams or nightmares.
And in the morning there were small shoe prints in the dirt outside the door and leading away to the grass field that was across the road.
It was not until years later (and now the Internet) that I discovered that many others have had similar experiences all over the world and all "went down" about the exact same way but, with different excuses where the kids needed to be allowed into homes or vehicles or stores...etc.
This VIDO explains it but the supposed "children" are (of course) a recreation.

David Plumb
Inducted January 12, 2007
Traveling from his birthplace in the London borough of Dagenham to Tulsa provided David Plumb with a fascinating journey.
Evacuated to Swindon during the bombing of London in World War II, David joined the Swindon Town Football Club in 1950 at the age of 16. At the age of 18, he went to National Service and served, during combat, in Cyprus and Egypt with the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers. Upon returning home from his service, David completed his education and acquired a degree in electrical engineering.
With degree in hand, David emigrated to the United States in 1956 and BOAC (British Airways) was his first employer. Arriving in Chicago, he transferred his love for soccer to his American mates and was soon playing, coaching, and officiating matches in the area.
In 1963, David married Plava Dell'Arsina and they would raise three children: son – Mark; daughters – Debbie and Tricia. By 1967 the North American Soccer League was formed and David was heavily involved in the Chicago soccer scene with good friend Bill Foulkes (who would become the Tulsa Roughnecks coach). For the next seven years, Chicago was home to the Plumb family but in 1974, Tulsa's Frank Weatley, Inc. offered David a job and he moved the family to Oklahoma.
Within a few years, the talented Plumb had determined to create his own company, API Industries. The oil business was strong in Tulsa, and David created patents in the area of separation of oil and water. But the oil business would not be David's only passion.
In 1975, David became one of the first of four USSF referees in the state and he was appointed as the State Referee Administrator in 1976, a position he held for two years. His officiating credentials were known state wide as he helped develop referees for the youth program in Green Country, a college program through the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association, as well as the adults in NEOSA. He continued to officiate matches at all levels until 1982.
With the soccer community in Tulsa growing quickly, David used his contacts with the Chicago Sting of the NASL to play a group of Oklahoma All-Stars in 1976. Two matches were played, one in Tulsa and one in Oklahoma City; David refereed both games. Beginning in 1977, David began coaching youth soccer with an under 12 team. He remained in the youth coaching ranks until 1982 while coaching the Tulsa International Soccer Club adults for many years.
After the Tampa Bay Rowdies played the Dallas Tornado in October of 1977, soccer grew quickly in Oklahoma and it wasn't long before Tulsa acquired the Roughnecks. David was the Game Day Operations Stadium Coordinator for the Roughnecks beginning with their first matches.
Oral Roberts University began offering men's soccer and in 1980, David became their head coach. By now, those U12 boys had reached U16 and David had them prepared. In 1981 they recorded their third straight state championship and David still proudly displays that trophy in his office. One of David's players was Dean Hennessey, son of Roughneck head coach, Terry Hennessey.
Acknowledged by coaches, players, and officials as one of the leaders in the development of Oklahoma Soccer Association, David's contributions to the sport cover all aspects of the game and are still prevalent today in the many venues of soccer across Oklahoma.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong: Summertime
Ella Fitzgerald (vocals) and Louis Armstrong (trumpet, vocals)
Porgy & Bess (Verve 9790)
Ella Fitzgerald (vocals), Louis Armstrong (trumpet, vocals),
with large studio orchestra conducted by Russell Garcia.
Composed by George Gershwin & DuBose Heyward. Arranged by Russell Garcia.
Recorded: Los Angeles, August 18, 1957
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong recorded two relaxed, swinging albums for Verve before Norman Granz had the inspiration to use them in a deluxe 2-LP set featuring 16 songs from Porgy and Bess. While not the first Porgy and Bess concept album, Ella & Louis's version is one of the best. Both were in top vocal form at the time of the recording, and while Louis's trumpet chops were not as strong as they had been in years past, he could still perform stunning solos. On "Summertime," Russ Garcia's arrangement adds a few subtle touches to the original orchestration. Armstrong plays a majestic first chorus on trumpet, followed by Ella's smooth and creamy vocal. After a subtle key change, Louis takes a solo vocal chorus. When Ella returns, she spins a beautifully conceived variation on the melody while Louis supports her with some of the tenderest scatting he ever recorded.

Be a part of the biggest girl-led business in the world!
The Girl Scout Cookie Program is a seasonal, optional activity in which Girl Scouts voluntarily participate as a way to raise money for troop activities. For many girls, the Girl Scout Cookie Program is their first entrepreneurial venture and helps foster a sense of achievement. Girl Scout cookies are only sold for three short months, but the benefits for girls last throughout their entire lives!
Ready to sell some cookies? Check out more resources:
What does a girl learn through the Girl Scout Cookie Program?
Selling cookies teaches girls essential skills for leadership, success and life!
GOAL SETTING - Girls set cookie sales goals and, with their team, create a plan to reach them. This matters because girls need to know how to set and reach goals to succeed in school, on the job, and in life.
DECISION MAKING - Girls decide where and when to sell cookies, how to market their sale, and what to do with their earnings. This matters because girls must make many decisions, big and small, in their lives. Learning this skill helps them make good ones.
MONEY MANAGEMENT - Girls develop a budget, take cookie orders, and handle customers' money. This matters because girls need to know how to handle money—from their lunch money to their allowance to (someday) their paycheck.
PEOPLE SKILLS - Girls learn how to talk (and listen!) to their customers, as well as learning how to work as a team with other girls. This matters because it helps them do better in school—on group projects, on sports teams, and on the playground—and, later, at work.
BUSINESS ETHICS - Girls act honestly and responsibly during every step of the cookie sale. This matters because employers want to hire ethical employees—and the world needs ethical leaders in every field.

When Cravings Attack: A Worksheet
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
I had this SUPER strong craving for a piece of cafeteria pizza today, shortly after I'd finished the lunch I'd brought from home. It was almost all-consuming. It was like this giant neon flashing sign in my brain. A terrifyingly powerful siren song tempting me to my own death. Haha. I mean, I haven't banned pizza from my life entirely or anything, but I'm trying to commit to not eating when I'm not physically hungry, and I definitely wasn't hungry at the time because I'd just finished lunch.
Anyway, I staved it off by forcing myself to read a few SparkPeople articles, and going through some questions in my head about the craving, and that killed the time before my next meeting well enough. And by the time my meeting ended I'd forgotten all about it. So, crisis averted. Yay.
But it sucked at the time! And so, for next time, I came up with this worksheet that's pretty much the questions I asked myself in my head earlier, with a few more. Next time I get a crazy strong craving that's taking over my life, I'll force myself to write out the answers. Hopefully will start to see patterns emerging that I can then conquer. (For example... realized my breakfast and lunch today weren't high in protein, so maybe that's part of why I was jonesing for the pizza still. I'll try to be better about eating more protein early in the day and see if that helps.)
I won't fill it out all the time or anything... but hoping it will be a good tool to have in my toolkit next time I need it. So, here's the worksheet/questions:
When Craving Attack: A Worksheet
1) What am I craving right now?
2) What type of food is it? (e.g., sweet, salty, fatty, carb-y, protein, etc.)
3) How physically hungry am I right now? (on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being �so full I�m sick� and 5 being �neither hungry or not hungry�)
4) What time is it, and what�s going on in my head/heart/life? (i.e., stress? tired? feeling emotional, or not, about something?)
5) What else have I eaten today (and maybe yesterday if relevant)? Am I below targets on protein, salt, fat, etc...? How would eating this food impact the rest of my nutrition for the day?
6) How would I feel afterwards if I ate what I�m craving? Physically? Emotionally?
7) How would I feel afterwards if I _didn�t_ eat it? (e.g, deprived/sad, or proud of myself for resisting?)
8) Is it worth it? If so, eat it!
9) If it�s not worth it... what steps can I take instead to get my mind off the craving, and/or satisfy it in a healthier way, and/or treat the issues from #4 without food?

This is great. I often find myself dealing with similar issues. Sometimes it's even a matter of my brain saying 'that didn't feel like enough food' or 'that didn't look like enough food' and so I fight with myself about going to the kitchen for more! I'm definitely going to take note of this blog. Thanks! And great job fighting your craving!!

Pretty good plan! Did you ever figure out what set of the pizza craving in the first place? Maybe the small? I'm crazy about pizza, but I almost never have to be in the same room with it, so I guess that helps.

Avery Sunshine's new release, The Sun Room, is getting rave reviews. The hit single from the project, Call My Name, is in heavy rotation on radio stations across the country. But, it is impossible to capture the Avery Sunshine music experience on any recording. When she takes the stage, she literally becomes the music. Drawing on her background as a church musician; Avery Sunshine directs the audience to sing with her in 3 part harmony. By the end of the show, you have sung, danced, laughed, cried and even gotten in a praise.
That is exactly what happened when Avery Sunshine performed at Space in Evanston, Illinois. She immediately, got the audience singing with I've Got Sunshine. The crowd continued to sing along to popular tunes by Areatha Franklin, Michael Jackson and Luther Vandross. When Avery Sunshine sat down at the Grand piano, she turned the show into a spiritual experience. One of the highlights of the evening was her stirring rendition of Safe in His Arms, which was recorded by the legendary Thompson Community Singers of Chicago. Avery Sunshine often speaks of the love and support of her parents. It was an especially touching moment, when she actually called her mom on stage and let her speak to the audience.
In a recent interview, Avery Sunshine and Dana Johnson shared some insight about their partnership and their journey as independent artists. They allowed the partnership to naturally evolve. Both are professionally trained musicians and composers. They work together seamlessly to create music with a message, that resonates with audiences. You can tune in to the interview on the WBDN media channel.
Avery Sunshine and Dana Johnson are still touring. Visit Avery Sunshine online for tour details, music and video.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The University of Iowa men's golf team won the Boilermaker Invitational for the second consecutive season on Sunday, capturing its second tournament title is as many weeks. The Hawkeyes carded a one-over-par 54-hole score of 865, with a 14-under-par final round score of 274, tied for the second-best team 18-hole score in program history.
Senior Steven Ihm, who began the day in a tie for 10th place, defended his 2013 title with a seven-under-par 209 (72, 73, 64), posting a career-best eight-under-par 64 in his final round. Ihm birdied seven of his first eight holes to begin the final day en route to posting the second-best individual 18-hole score in program history.
"It feels good to get another win and to have the team playing well this time of the year," said Ihm, the reigning Big Ten Golfer of the Week. "We played well on a tough course with a tough field. Today, things just clicked, and I was able to get on a roll and ride the momentum throughout my final round."
The victory, which is the fourth of Ihm's career, comes one week after he won the Hawkeye-Great River Entertainment Invitational in Iowa City. Iowa entered Sunday's final round in fourth place and trailed Big Ten opponent Illinois by 10 strokes. The Hawkeyes used the second-best round in school history (-14) to surge into first place, jumping nationally ranked UCLA and Louisville.
Freshman Raymond Knoll ended the tournament in a tie for sixth, the best finish of his career. Knoll carded a one-under-par 215 (78, 71, 66). Knoll's final round score, a six-under-par 66, was the best of his career. Knoll played his last 18 holes bogey-free, notching six birdies in the process.
"I played steady and didn't make many mistakes today," said Knoll. "I was able to stay away from bogeys in my final round. Whenever I did make mistakes, I made them in the right places and was able to recover."
Junior Ian Vandersee finished in a tie for 11th after posting a two-over-par total score of 218 (76, 72, 70). Vandersee birdied 11 holes over three rounds.
Junior Brian Bullington carded an eight-over-par 224 (74, 76, 74) in three rounds, finishing in a tie for 39th. Bullington earned par on 34 of 54 holes.
Freshman Carson Schaake finished 51st after firing a 11-over-par 227 (78, 75, 74).
Head coach Mark Hankins earned his 11th tournament title while at the helm of the Hawkeyes.
"Our guys were able to stay in the present and focus in on their individual goals today. The course was in good shape, the weather was good, and we took advantage," said Hankins. "Steven came out today and wasn't afraid to go low. He's had a lot of good rounds, but today's was one of the better rounds he's ever played."
Iowa has recorded top finishes in all five of its events this spring, winning two tournament titles (Hawkeye-GRE, Boilermaker Invitational). The Hawkeyes placed fourth at the Big Ten Match Play Championships, won the Big Four Championship, and finished runner-up at the ASU Thunderbird Invitational.
The Hawkeyes return to action on May 2-4 at the Big Ten Championships in French Lick, Ind.

There are many more Antarctic blogs as well as those listed here, like many diaries they often start off with good intentions and then become a little sparse. The ones listed here are those that have some extra value.
Please let us know if there are others that you think should be added here - either live or archive

Who was the first Antarctic blogger? - email with link if you have a claimant
Dale Andersen, I was blogging from McMurdo in 1993, and again from the Dry Valleys (Lake Hoare) in 1996. You could double check with Geoff Haines-Stiles (passport to knowledge, polar palooza) for the 1993 blog (Dale's Dive Diary) and Keith Cowing at NASAWatch for the material I posted in 1996. Dale's website
Communications have probably changed the experience of being in Antarctica more than any other single factor.
In the earliest days, there was no radio even, so ships and their crews would not be heard of for literally months on end, even a year or more, until it returned to port or came across another ship during its voyage.
Later radio was invented, but communications were rather "official" being about the work of the base or ship rather than personal communications. The radio communications themselves would be at a pre-arranged "sched" (scheduled) time and would be via a land station bordering Antarctica. This situation lasted for several decades into the late 20th century.
The next major step forwards was with the advent of telex communications when the base personnel were given a monthly allowance of around 100 words or so to be sent in either direction to a pre-named contact person. Aside from this communications of a personal nature between Antarctic personnel and the rest of the world was by letter which went in each direction from one to three times a year depending on how deep in Antarctica the base was.
Later by the 1980's, satellite communications arrived along with fax machines which speeded things up and also increased the amount of traffic.
Personnel now had 200 words and more per month in each direction and the possibility of making telephone calls (at exorbitant cost! - paid by the individual)
With the advent of the internet and broadband, the outside world is now available via your keyboard and monitor screen almost on demand (satellite position and weather conditions allowing).
So in the last 100 years, base personnel have gone from being able to only send letters 1-3 times a year to being able to email and post their thoughts, news and pictures on websites and blogs on a daily basis, in both cases replies are at a similar frequency.

My condolences to those of you who were bounced from the fake football playoffs by the Seahawks defense or Cam Newton in Week 14. I crashed and burned the old-fashioned way in my longtime keeper league: by starting a couple running backs who combined for 42 total yards and a fumble. I would say "thanks for nothing", but "thanks for negative" is more accurate. Enough sob stories, though, let's move on to this week's waiver wire wish list.
Brandon Weeden, CLE – It's the season for giving, so the NFL schedule is bestowing Weeden with the gift of facing one of the league's most generous teams in terms of fantasy points allowed to QBs this week. It's a give-fest, a give-a-palooza, and a give-stravaganza all rolled into one.
Nick Foles, PHI – Foles turned in a strong performance on Sunday, but remember who his opponent was before you cash in your remaining FAAB dollars on the Eagles QB. The Buccaneers make most quarterbacks look better than they are (see Carson Palmer's 414 yards & 4 TDs in Week 9). Foles likely won't be as fortunate against the Bengals this week.
Kirk Cousins, WAS – Are Kirk and DeMarcus cousins? No, but also yes. I don't recommend that you boogie with Kirk this week, but in 2-QB leagues, you occasionally don't have a choice.
David Wilson, NYG – Ahmad Bradshaw injured his knee against the Saints on Sunday. Tom Coughlin petitioned the league to amend the injured reserve rules in-game so he could activate Andre Brown, to no avail. With no other options, the Giants' coach begrudgingly put Wilson into the game. Thirteen carries, 100 yards, and 3 total touchdowns later, Wilson is the clear-cut #1 waiver claim this week.
Bilal Powell, NYJ – Powell continued his recent stretch of strong play on Sunday and matched Shonn Greene's total of 13 fantasy points. We're at a point where Powell has equaled or bettered Greene's fantasy production in three out of the past four weeks. Powell is a solid flex option going forward.
Montell Owens, JAC – Like David Wilson, Owens had a nice Week 14 game in relief of a litany of injured teammates, with 102 total yards and score on 14 caries and one reception. Maurice Jones-Drew and/or Rashad Jennings could return this week, but Owens is worth a speculative add in case they don't.
Joique Bell, DET – When Mikel LeShoure doesn't get TDs, Bell is the Lions running back you want to own. The Detroit coaches appear to be noticing this, as Bell's carries have steadily increased over the past four weeks. Meanwhile, he was already outperforming LeShoure every week in the passing game. With the Lions falling out of playoff contention, they appear to be changing the guard at RB slightly to see what Bell can do down the stretch.
LaMichael James, SF – James was active for the first time all season on Sunday, posting 30 yards on 8 carries and 1 catch for 15 yards. Frank Gore is still the man in San Francisco and Anthony Dixon will get some work (9 yards and a TD on Sunday), but James is in line to pick up the change-of-pace touches that Kendall Hunter was seeing earlier in the season.
DuJuan Harris, GB – If we ignore Week 11 against the Lions, Alex Green has averaged exactly 6 fantasy points per game since Week 5, with a ceiling of 7 points and a basement of 5 points. That's extremely consistent, but it's equally unexciting. In his first action of the season on Sunday, Harris carried seven times for 31 yards and a touchdown. DuJuan? Do want.
Robert Turbin, SEA – Turbin had his best game of the season in Sunday's blowout against the Cardinals. It was primarily a garbage time performance, but this week's game against the Buffablow Bills could offer similar garbage time opportunities to Turbin.
Kenny Britt, TEN – I was surprised to see Britt was only owned in 50% of Yahoo leagues (73% ESPN ownership, for what it's worth), but that number will increase significantly after Sundays 8-catch, 143-yard outburst. It was his best game of the season and it came against a weak opponent, but Britt is finally healthy and has reassumed the #1 WR mantle in Tennessee.
Josh Gordon, CLE – Speaking of players taking hold of the wideout conch on their respective teams, Josh Gordon continues to garner the bulk of Brandon Weeden's targets. Sucks to your assmar, Greg Little.
Alshon Jeffery, CHI – I endorsed Jeffery on Twitter before game time on Sunday morning and he rewarded me with 57 yards and a TD against the Vikings. Brandon Marshall is still Jay Cutler's first, second, and third reads on pass plays, but Jeffery is emerging as a valuable red zone target for the Bears.
Chris Givens & Brandon Gibson, STL – Gibson had the better fantasy day, with 6 catches for 100 yards and a TD, but Givens had more targets (10 to Gibson's 9). With Minnesota and Tampa Bay on deck, both of these receivers will continue to have value going forward.
Dwayne Harris & Cole Beasley, DAL – As of this writing, Dez Bryant has been diagnosed with a finger ligament tear, but no decision has been made regarding season-ending surgery. If Bryant can't play, Harris and Beasley will become the #2 and #3 Cowboy wide receivers, respectively. If Bryant postpones surgery, tapes up his fingers and plays, Harris should still receive extra work as the WR3 to limit Bryant's on-field exposure.
Rod Streater, OAK – It's not always sunny in Oakland, but there's a looks-brains-wildcard situation brewing in the Raiders' receiver ranks. Until the team figures out this dynamic on the field, the fantasy ramifications will continue to be unpredictable. Analogous to other unpredictable systems, the wildcard, Rod Streater, has emerged as the most reliable option of late for the Raiders.
Kris Durham, DET – Contrary to last week's hypothesis that Mike Thomas would inherit the #2 WR role from the injured Ryan Broyles, it was Kris Durham doing the damage opposite Calvin Johnson on Sunday. Durham caught 4 passes for 54 yards on 9 targets, while Thomas had zero targets (he did run the ball twice for 25 yards).
Tony Scheffler, DET – Scheffler, on the other hand, delivered on the speculation that he'd be used more in Broyle's absence. He grabbed 3 of his 10 targets for 20 yards and a score on Sunday, which landed him inside the top-10 tight ends amid an admittedly lackluster week at the position overall. Scheffler's Week 15 match-up against the Cardinals isn't particularly exciting, but he will continue to be a viable option at tight end if given a similar number of targets.
Rob Housler, ARI – Housler also had 10 targets in Week 14. He's averaging 9 targets over his past three games, and 8 targets over his past six games. Unfortunately, Housler's yardage and touchdown production over those spans have been pretty mediocre. With a half-decent quarterback under center for the Cardinals, we might have remembered Housler's season a little differently. Regardless, he's still worth a look in deep PPR leagues.
Hey Greg, in case RG3 can't go this week, should I pick Palmer or Wilson?
Ok. I usually dont ask total line-up questions, but my team has dwindled thanks to injuries and I really need help. And, Im playing my mom (she is a fantasy beast, but still… I dont want to get booted out of the playoffs by my mother). So any help appreciated. 12 team non-ppr. Need two WRs, two Rbs, and a flex.
Julio Jones
denarius moore
tb mike williams
Chris Givens
Chris Johnson
Shonn Greene
Also, I have gresham at TE. He can be frustrating. Should I drop him (or someone else) for one of the following:
Sorry for the novel. Thanks for the help
8 team league. Who do you think is a better option for my flex spot? It's 1 PPR. My options: demarco Murray, Stevan Ridley, Ryan Mathews, lance Moore, steve smith (car) or pick up David Wilson and plug him in?
12 Team PPR: 2nd round of playoffs: Brees, Freeman, Cruz, Dez, garcon, DX, James Jones, Martin, Alex Green, Beanie, Graham, Rudolph, Rivers.I have a few issues this week: If Dez starts, do i play him? It will be hard to sit him if he's starting. Also, if RG3 doesn't play, do I start Garcon? We also play a flex position. I'm actually playing against RG3 and grabbed Rivers off waivers in case my opponent was going to try & grab the top available qb. He ended up grabbing Cousins.
10 Team PPR: Eli, Luck, Dez, Cruz, Wayne, Marshall, VJax, AP, Ray Rice, DMC, Ballard, Vernon, Gates, Bennett. I started Bennett over Gates & Vernon last week & worked out very well, worth it to do it again this week? Do I start Marshall if Cutler doesn't play, also same with Dez. Is Ballard worth a start as flex over any of those WR's, full pt PPR, thinking I still flex a WR.
Pick 3: Martin, Murray, BGE, Bryce, DMC
Would you drop Nate Washington for any of the following WRs: A. Hawkins, D. Bess, B. Gibson, A. Jeffery. 12 team nonPPR, my other WRs are Dem. Thomas, Andre Johnson, Dez (finger issue-will he play?), DHB and Washington.
Appreciate it!
What up G. Play Houston D(scary), or pick up and play Cincy, or Dettroit? Also, continue to bench Fitz for Shorts, Torrey, or Miles? Thanx.
Hey, Greg. Let's say Pettigrew is out again. How strongly do you feel about Scheffler? Play him over someone like Antonio Gates?
Which D/ST would you be inclined to play this week? Standard yahoo scoring.
CHI vs GB
TEN vs NYJ
And how would you feel about CLE vs WAS compared to these other options, if RG3 is ruled out?
Obviously CHI was the slam dunk choice over the first 10 weeks of the season, but lately they've been very average (if not below).

I had great plans for our holiday weekends, my friends. We were all going to kick it off by making homemade hamburger buns that we could use right away, or stash in the freezer until the weather cooperates. Really, nothing should have been simpler. Most hamburger buns are an enriched white bread, which is ridiculously simple to make, and rolls are so much quicker to bake than large loaves. Because isn't it funny how in this day and age where so many of us grind our own meats for our signature burger blends that we're generally still getting those buns from a bag or bakery?

Brandon Butler of Network World reports, "The Library of Congress has received a 133TB file containing 170 billion tweets — every single post that's been shared on the social networking site — and now it has to figure out how to index it for researchers. In a report outlining the library's work thus far on the project, officials note their frustration regarding tools available on the market for managing such big data dumps. 'It is clear that technology to allow for scholarship access to large data sets is not nearly as advanced as the technology for creating and distributing that data,' the library says. 'Even the private sector has not yet implemented cost-effective commercial solutions because of the complexity and resource requirements of such a task'."
Butler goes on, "If private organizations are having trouble managing big data, how is a budget-strapped, publicly funded institution — even if it is the largest library in the world — supposed to create a practical, affordable and easily accessible system to index 170 billion, and counting, tweets? Twitter signed an agreement allowing the nation's library access to the full trove of updates posted on the social media site. Library officials say creating a system to allow researchers to access the data is critical since social media interactions are supplanting traditional forms of communication, such as journals and publications."

How to Deal With a Mediocre Teacher if You Are the Industrious Type
Industrious students are great! Unfortunately, the world contains its share of mediocre teachers. It must be known how to deal with them.
1Make sure that your teacher really is mediocre before making up your mind. A humorous teacher who goes a little off topic is great. But a teacher who rants on and on about his/her dog for example, is mediocre.
2Look for signs of mediocrity. Is this teacher only talking to the mediocre kids about mediocre things?
3Continue to do your best. Accept that you are doing so for yourself, and if that is not enough, to impress other kids who are not mediocre. In the long-run, it will matter what you did now, to help your education.
4If the teacher does not like you very much, still continue to do well. Being mediocre if you are not that way is not right in an education setting. What will this teacher matter in ten years from now?
5Get help out of school from experienced students, parents or professors. Spend extra time at home, studying. Join a class to help.
6If your grade does begin to suffer due to teacher ratings, talk to the teacher privately and ask what you can do to fix it. Be polite and non-accusative.
7Consider switching out. Explain carefully to the person in charge (counselor, principal, etc) what the problem is and that your goal in life is to do great, which is not possible here.
8If you can't switch out, complain to the principal. It is the best you can do.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Show the teacher how hard you work to impress him/her.
- If you are industrious, take good classes and not mediocre ones.
- Never openly accuse a teacher.
