Morningside Park Cats
Back in January/February as I walked past the edge of the Morningside Park, I'd see some stray kittens.
They never came close to the fence and they minded their own business.
Then one day, I saw a woman putting food and water by the fence and I stopped to talk to her.
She obviously knew how to care for cats.
(overturned cat food on the ground)
She told me, however, that she didn't know how to catch them.
She knew a vet who would examine them and give them medical care, while waiting for a family to adopt them.
She just needed to be able to catch them.
However, the cats would not come close to humans.
They stayed far away or ran in the opposite direction.
She asked if I could help her feed them.
She came twice a day and put food and water out there for them.
Although I'm a dog person and know nothing about caring for cats, I agreed.
I saw 11 kittens and at least 4 adult cats.
The lady told me that she normally fed them dry cat food.
But they loved canned food (which was more expensive, of course).
I stopped by the supermarket and went to buy some cat food.
I got dizzy. There were so many types of cat food.
I had no idea, which one to choose.
The dry cat food was the cheapest for the amount of food contained.
However, I wanted to treat the cats to something they really enjoyed,
So I looked at the canned/wet food.
Oh, what should I choose?
Did I mention I was getting dizzy?
This Fancy Feast sounded pretty fancy, indeed. Also expensive.
Should I choose 9 Lives?
I finally picked something I could afford.
For a few weeks, the kittens would only approach the food and water when I didn't stand close to the fence.
Then, one day, this particular kitten approached the food, even though I was still in sight.
She must have been hungry because she didn't wait for me to leave.
She ate the food but watched me closely.
I was mesmerized watching her eat.
She ate everything in the container and licked it clean.
The rest of the cats stayed in the distance and watched.
The cats were normally fast and I could never take a photo of them until now.
This white cat would always hide under a bush and watch.
The other day, I saw a man feeding the cats at another location in the park.
It was good to see someone else caring for the cats.
I'm glad spring is here, now.
The weather should be much favorable for these stray cats.
Perhaps, in the near future, someone will be able to catch the cats and find good homes for them.

Termite Damage
Property Damage: Signs & Costs, Fixing & Reparing
Termites are wood-destroying insects capable of damaging a home's structural timbers, including posts, floor supports, ceiling supports, subfloors and wall studs. Termites also can damage non-structural components, including drywall paperboard, paneling, carpet and furniture. The most common species to infest and damage homes in the U.S. are drywood termites. Dampwood termites are less likely to infest homes due to their high
moisture requirements.
Common signs of termite damage include:
- Discolored or sagging sheetrock on the ceiling or walls
- Floors that buckle or sag
- Loose tiles
- Hardwood floor slats that pop up
- Laminate floors that bubble up or sag
- Tiny pinpoint holes in drywall (where termites have damaged the paperboard)
- Bubbling or peeling paint
- Damaged wood that crumbles easily
- Jammed doors or windows
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
Signs of Termite Damage
A house with damage from termites often looks the same as any other house on the surface. Termites can build nests hidden inside walls, causing damage for years before it becomes apparent. Termite control experts are trained to spot signs of termite activity, potentially before the colony has damaged the wood inside a home.
If a termite infestation is unnoticed and untreated for many years, a home can suffer significant damage. In some cases, this damage can be easily mistaken for water damage. Termite inspectors can discern between structural
damage caused by water or wood-destroying insects – including termites, carpenter ants and beetles.
Structural Damage
Damage from termites can range from minor, superficial damage to major structural damage that can cause ceilings or floors to collapse. Early detection of termite infestations is crucial to minimize the risk and cost of
repairing termite damage. Annual inspections by a trained termite professional can help you detect signs of activity, some of which may not be easily visible.
Repairing Termite Damage
Termite colonies typically take at least five years to grow to a size that can damage homes. Extensive termite infestations that have grown over many years and been left untreated can seriously damage homes and even cause floors or roofs to collapse.

The Honorable Tom Wheeler, Chairman
Federal Communications Commission
445 12th Street SW
Washington, D.C. 20554
Dear Chairman Wheeler:
We are writing to express our strong support for an open Internet. We are showrunners and creators of television and original Internet programs, and members of the Writers Guild of America, West.
The open Internet is the greatest technological catalyst to participatory democracy and free speech since the printing press. That's why totalitarian states around the world try to control it.
There are two basic directions that the Internet can go, and the choice is in the FCC's hands.
Currently, the open Internet works like the phone lines. Consumers can call whomever they want; nobody gets to limit who they can call. Likewise, consumers choose where they want to go on the Internet; no content can be given preferential treatment by their Internet provider.
If Net Neutrality is neutered, the Internet will become like cable television. A few corporate gatekeepers such as Comcast will be allowed to decide what content consumers can access and on what terms. The danger is that blocking, discrimination and paid prioritization could occur.
This puts decision making and power over the Internet in the hands of the few, especially those with money. The Internet is too vital to the free exchange of ideas to allow the few companies who control Internet technology to edit the ideas and content that flow through it.
Moreover, in this case what's bad for free speech and democracy is also bad economic policy. Economists across the political spectrum agree that when companies can construct barriers to entry, markets are not free and efficient. New competition is locked out, resulting in a form of monopoly that causes consumers to suffer from higher prices- like their cable bills- and fewer choices.
That is exactly what has occurred in our traditional film and television business. After decades of consolidation and mergers, seven corporations control 95% of television production and viewing.
But right now the Internet is opening up the media business to new competition. There are new buyers for what we as writers create. But if this new competition is unfairly pushed aside because the FCC adopts weak rules, rather than allowing consumers to decide what they prefer, neither innovation nor the best interests of society will be served.
An open Internet is essential for free speech and participatory democracy. An open Internet has also been a tremendous engine for the generation of new jobs and businesses, an engine that properly rewards creators who have something compelling to say.
The Commission has the authority to keep the Internet free and open. We urge you to take the steps necessary to ensure the free flow of ideas and content across the web, without the threat of blocking or discrimination.

Suppose I have two presentations for groups:
$\langle x,y|x^{7} = y^{3} = 1, yx = x^2y\rangle$ and $\langle x,y|x^{7} = y^{3} = 1, yx = x^4y\rangle$
What is the standard approach to deciding whether the presentations are isomorphic?
I'm working through an application of Sylow Theory which classifies groups of order $21$.
In the text it says that these two presentations above are isomorphic, but I cannot see how to prove it or even suspect it.

We've been talking about faith and doubt on this blog quite a bit lately, and tonight I watched the movie Doubt. Since it is so new I won't say anything that might spoil it for anyone. But I will offer a recommendation to see it if you have any interest in exploring the themes of doubt and certainty.

Lashowe Has Infinite Health!!
I have been playing my modded Xbox when I was helping lashowe when she becomes a great big bitch and trys to keep the holocron. I say no and she fights me. Her health won't go down!!!
Any ideas 'cos i'm pooped.
Makes me wonder if her Minimum 1 HP is checked in her UTC file.
Can't speak to the Xbox, but....just had the same thing happen on PC. Checked override files to see if any Lashowe files were present and even used Kotortool to see if any of the .mod files contained a moddified Lashowe. No dice. Any thoughts?
I found out it was the Tomb of Jesset Dal'Kest mod that had done it.
RedHawke please close this thread.
Ok. -RH

Paul (Pokémon)
Redirected from Paul (Pokemon)
this wiki
| Paul (Pokémon) has been targeted for termination for the following reason(s):
Jerk but not a Villain; New Rules
Please discuss it on the talk page for this article.
Paul (Japanese: シンジ Shinji) is a character/villain in the Anime; Pokemon. While not officially a villain, he is a rude, anti-social, harsh, Pokemon-abusing and rather power-hungry rival of Ash during the Sinnoh Region. Paul is one of Ash's rivals, and a citizen of Veilstone City. He received his Starter in Sandgem Town from Professor Rowan and has traveled through Kanto, Johto and Hoenn. Unlike Ash, he is initially not a caring trainer. All he truly wants from his Pokémon is pure power and the trainers he faces to be strong. When he first meets Ash, he demands a 3 on 3 Battle, however since Ash was still looking for Pikachu, Ash couldn't battle, this warranted some aggravation on Paul's part. Paul is also known to release his Pokémon if he deems them weak or useless. Some fans call him a "cold-hearted power monger" which seems somewhat appropriate due to his ambition and seeing his Pokémon as tools for his own glory. Paul is similar to the rival in Gold, Silver, Crystal & its remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver who is often referred to as Silver.
When Paul was just become a trainer, had just started his Pokemon journey and obtained his Turtwig, he went over from Sinnoh to Kanto to watch his brother Reggie battle against Pyramid King Brandon. Unfortunately, Reggie couldn't knock out any of Brandon's Pokemon and was easily defeated. Brandon yelled at Reggie and asked him where his true inner strength was. This made Paul wonder about his own strength as a trainer and from then on, he became obsessed with power. He then apparently traveled through the Kanto, Hoenn and Johto regions, didn't win any of their leagues and then returned to Sinnoh.
Once he returned to Sinnoh, he caught a Ninjask using his Elekid. Not long after he caught Ninjask, He watched a terrified wild Chimchar being chased by a pack of Zangoose. Chimchar got to an end of a cliff and was cornered by the Zangoose- out of desperation and determination, Chimchar managed to produce a blaze-infused Flame Wheel- which impressed Paul- and scared the Zangoose away. Paul then approached the fire type and asked it to join his team, which Chimchar accepted. Chimchar would greatly regret this decision as Paul put it through extremely harsh training in order to activiate Blaze again- as shown throughout the Diamond and Pearl series.
Paul watched Ash Ketchum capture a Starly with his Aipom prior to their first meeting and is unimpressed by him.
Paul and his Elekid then meet Ash face to face for the first time and tells him he saw him catch Starly- and he'd be better trying to catch the best Starly he could. Ash sarcastically replies 'You can tell which one's the strongest?'
Paul says 'Of course' and releases three Starly- To Ash and Brock's surprise. Paul explains that you can scan the pokemon you catch on your pokedex. He decides to keep the Starly with Aerial ace and releases the other two to Ash's horror. When Paul says that they were useless, it makes Ash angry and he says 'You know what- any Pokémon can be strong if you train them'.
Paul challenges Ash to a 3 on 3 battle- but Ash declines since he only has Aipom and Starly with him. Paul is disgusted by this, calls Ash 'pathetic' and leaves with his Elekid
Later on, when Ash has got Pikachu back and has changed into his Sinnoh clothes, he walks out of Professor Rowan's lab with Brock, Dawn and the professor to find Paul standing at a tree, waiting for him. He asks him for the battle he requested earlier, which now Ash gladly accepts. Paul's Starly manages to defeat Ash's with aerial ace. Paul however, decides to release Starly since it doesn't meet his standards- much to Ash's annoyance. Next up its Ash's Aipom vs Paul's Chimchar.
Paul is shown watching Ash battle Conway. Once Conway is defeated, the Sinnoh League board shuffles and Ash and Paul look at each other as they realize they are to battle each other next. Later on, Paul walks up to Ash with his Electivire.
Paul is shown to have watched the battle between Ash and Tobias on TV. He looks sad, sighs and then walks away.
Paul is a cold, callous, ruthless, sadistic, opportunistic and rather arrogant trainer. He has no interest in being friends with anybody, even his own Pokémon, and simply sees his Pokémon as tools to win Pokémon battles and shows no remorse or mercy. He is often annoyed and exasperated by Ash's actions and tendency to act like a child, and Paul seems to barely see their rivalry.
Paul rarely shows any emotions and this affects his dealings with his Pokemon which can be very harsh. On some occasions, however he has been shown to lose his temper. An example of this was a very significant time was in "A Pyramiding Rage", when he let his anger get out of control during his battle with Brandon due to his frustration of not being able to beat Brandon's Pokemon. Paul also almost never smiles, except for the occasional smirk and a small chuckle when dealing with Ash.
Despite his seemingly cruel nature, he can be polite when he wants to - especially towards authority figures like Cynthia and Nurse Joy. He also can acknowledge his opponent if he considers them to be a worthy opponent- an example of this is Roark who he was very impressed by. He also seems to think a lot of his brother Reggie, despite once saying he had 'a big mouth'.
He also seems to enjoy seeing Ash get worked up- an example of this is In Chim-Charred! when He chuckled and said to Ash, "Man, you get worked up.
Paul's catchphrase is 'Pathetic'- and tends to direct it at Ash when Ash does or says something that Paul finds irriating or childish. Paul's battle cry is "Stand by for battle!
Towards the end of the saga, and especially after losing the battle to Ash in the Sinnoh League, Paul seems to reform somewhat and is shown congratulating Electivire on a job well done, something that he had never done prior to the three-part final battle. Paul was also impressed by how his former pokemon, Infernape, developed after being in Ash's care, how well Ash had trained it and admitted this after their final Sinnoh battle. Paul then decided to return to Snowpoint City to rechallenge Brandon and he bids farewell to Ash, albeit on more friendly terms. He also seems sad when he sees Ash lose to Tobias.

- Paul is very similar toward Damian, and Shamus.
- All three of them had a fire starter Pokemon.
- They abandoned them because they believed that their Pokemon was weak and pathetic.
- All three of their Pokemon were recuited with Ash.
- And all of them believe that Power is all that matters in a Pokemon battle.
- Paul's appearance and personality is heavily based on Silver's; at first some fans assumed that he was the anime counterpart of Silver. This was proven false because Silver already had appeared in the anime before Paul. However, the appearance was brief, so Paul may be a remake of Silver the way Lyra is Kris's game remake.
- Strangely enough, Paul's hometown is Veilstone City, which is also where Team Galactic's base was set up. Also interesting to note is that, in the games, you can only evolve Murkrow by use of the Dusk Stone, which is only available inside of said base.
- Oddly, out of almost all the battles Paul and Ash were in, Paul was the victor, making him a lot stronger than Ash, yet he couldn't defeat Brandon the Pyramid King but Ash could because Paul fought out of anger.
- Although a Pokédex is often red or pink Paul's Pokédex is black.
- Paul smiled when he lost to Ash in the Sinnoh League.
- Paul and Ash share the dream of becoming the world's best Pokémon Trainer.
- Paul is the only named trainer to own an East Sea Gastrodon.
- Paul has owned several Pokémon that Ash owns, Torterra, Gliscor, Starly and Chimchar (the same Chimchar as Ash).
- Paul has never seen Ash without his hat.
- Paul is the kind of trainer who doesn't let any entry hazards stop him from making substitutions.
- Paul was suppose to have his own episode just like Dawn and Brock did. It involves Paul returning back to Snowpoint City to have a rematch with Brandon and Zoey watch his battle. However, due to how many fans hate Paul for what kind of person he is, nobody wants an episode that involves Paul.
- Paul is seen in the ending credits of Decolora Adventures, holding hands with Gary and Luke.
- Unlike the original owners of Tepig and Charmander, Paul didn't try getting Chimchar back despite witnessing its power. This could be Paul's own act of kindness, as it shows that Paul truly acknowledges Chimchar's growth as Infernape, unlike the other trainers, who wanted their abandoned Pokémon for their power.
- Paul also didn't lie or fake a kind farewell to his Chimchar, like Charmander and Tepig, but rather demanded that Chimchar leave in a harsh voice.
- Paul is similar to the chief villain Takeshi Manganji from Crush Gear Turbo.

Bourne Ultimatum Movie Reviews
Bourne Ultimatum
Release Date: Aug 03, 2007
Genre: Action/AdventureDrama
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Bourne Ultimatum
If you like action films, this final of the Bourne trio is really good, very good. I thought it was as good as The Bourne Identity and better than the second one, The Bourne Supremacy. Incidentally, I'm sorry but I enjoy almost all genres of films, and too bad if you don't; I am amused by critics who believe a film must be "sophisticated" and then don't manage to like anything. These Bourne films are even better than Die Hard 1 and Bullitt.
ACTION ADVENTURE: If your a Matt
Damon fan you will enjoy this and the departure from reality that is represented by Damons feats will be overlooked. If you prefer some
semblance of reality you will look elsewhere.
Fun action movie with great graphics. Good escapist adventure. Only bad spot was that often the graphics took over and put me in the middle of the scene. I was unable to see what was happening though some might enjoy the disconnected feeling it caused. Worth the money and the DVD will go into my collection.
GREAT! GREAT!GREAT! The movie held your attention I think it was the best of the three also. Just so action packed. I will peobably buy the DVD. Matt Damon was GREAT!
I had only seen parts of the previous two Bourne movies so I thought I would be lost. Amazingly they answered all of my questions very quickly so there wasn't any confusion. I'm actually a fan of the up close action sequences in the movie. It gives you less time to react to those suprises that they love to put in there. It picked up very nicely where #2 left off. I can only hope that in #4, they dig deeper into Jason Bourne's past. Can't wait until this hit comes out on DVD.
It will play better on DVD, just as Bourne 2 did. The first set of problems are the close-ups in the action scenes with the herky-jerky camera work, the theater screen is just too big for that, and it causes the action effect to be lost in the bigness. The second problem is the foot chase scene in Madrid took way too long, if you have to go to the bath room this is the part in the movie to take care of that. The director needs to back off a bit when he makes #4. The story line of "who am I, where did I come from?" is getting long in the tooth. I'm being generous with 3 stars, but acting was excellent. It is a shame the director blew it, and the writers wern't very imaginative.
Best action m0vie i ever saw.Very thrilling and exiting. Did not see any of the other ones and was not really lost because they show flash backs
would rate 10 out of 10
Exellent movie♥
Great movie! Love the James Bond action without, well.... James Bond. The movie stays moving right from the beginning. No falling asleep here. I hope they make another "Bourne" movie.
The Bourne Ultimatum is a kinetic thrill ride from director Paul Greengrass ( United 93, The Bourne Supremacy) that is easily the best of the trilogy. Taking the name ( and very little else) from the novel by Robert Ludlum) Greengrass and writers Tony Gilroy and Tom Stoppard start the movie off with action and keep it going till the final frame. Although the films many action scenes are hampered slightly by the " shakey cam" work that has become this directors trademark they are also energized by clostrophobic framing and very quick cuts. Love this movie, and i can't wait for the Bourne box set that is sure to follow
I was lucky to get into a packed house for the sneak preview of The Bourne Ultimatum last night. I am glad that I did because this movie was awesome.
Jas on Bourne is back not only for payback (for his girlfriend's death) but to get the answers to all those nagging questions about his past and how he became an elite killing machine.
Thi s film finally reveals the details of Bourne's creation and introduces some new players in the twisted world of the black ops security. The plot and dialogue are nicely sandwiched between some truly great action scenes.
It†™s well worth seeing.

IRON COUNTY, Wis., Finance Committee members Opal Roberts and Tom Innes listen to clerk Michael Saari, not pictured, present a report Thursday.
HURLEY — The Iron County Finance Committee continued to move forward with the process of refinancing courthouse-jail construction bonds from 2004 Thursday.
If the bonds, originally borrowed for $3.2 million, are refinanced, the county is projected to save $15,000 to $20,000 a year, based on interest rates as of Wednesday, according to Dave DeYoung, senior vice president of the public finance department for Stifel, Nicolaus and Company of Brookfield, Wis.
In July, DeYoung told the committee interest rates at the time projected savings of $20,000 to $25,000 a year.
According to DeYoung, if interest rates continue to erode by October, the county may not go through with the refinancing.
"If the savings fall below $100,000 total, we don't recommend going through with the program," he said.
He said he understands the uncertainty with the stock market, including who will replace Ben Bernanke as chairman of the Federal Reserve, a potential military strike in Syria and other factors affecting the economy.
"Bond buyers don't like uncertainty, and there is a lot of uncertainty out there now," DeYoung said.
The market seemed to take a "turn for the good" recently and that is why DeYoung is having the county continue to investigate refinancing.
DeYoung recommended a resolution to the full county board to allow his company to continue the process.
The committee approved it and it will be on the agenda for the county board meeting on Sept. 24.
A final resolution for refinancing will be presented to the county board in October.
DeYoung said he will address the finance committee again on Oct. 10 with an update on interest rates before the final resolution goes through.

Oct. 17, 2013
A little more than three years ago, the then-No. 1 Alabama football team went into Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and rallied to win its Southeastern Conference opener 24-20 against No. 10 Arkansas. This season, the Crimson Tide (6-0) are once again ranked No. 1 entering the Arkansas (3-4) game.
In 2010, junior running back Mark Ingram rushed for 157 yards on 24 attempts and scored two touchdowns to lead the Tide to victory. The 2009 Heisman Trophy winner scored the go-ahead touchdown from one yard out with 3:18 left to play in the game to give Alabama its first and final lead of the game.
Trailing the Razorbacks, 20-17, with just under five minutes remaining, junior safety Robert Lester intercepted Ryan Mallet for the second time to set up Alabama's game-winning drive at the Arkansas 12-yard line. From there, Ingram took two snaps out of the wildcat formation to give Alabama a first-and-goal from the one yard line. Ingram then took the handoff from senior quarterback Greg McElroy and found the end zone for the game winner.
Sophomore cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick then intercepted a Mallett pass with 1:48 left in the game to bring an end to Arkansas' hopes of victory.
McElroy finished the game 18-of-26 passing for 197 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Sophomore running back Trent Richardson rushed eight times for 85 yards and had two receptions for 25 yards and a touchdown. Junior receiver Julio Jones led the Tide receiving corps with five catches for 55 yards.
Arkansas jumped out to quick 7-0 lead by scoring on the game's opening drive in only 50 seconds. After a 25-yard kickoff return put Arkansas on its 26-yard line, Mallet hit Jarius Wright for a 31-yard reception to the Alabama 43 yard line. On the next play, Mallet found Ronnie Wingo for a 43-yard score.
After trading punts on the next two possessions, Ingram put the Crimson Tide on the scoreboard with a weaving 54-yard touchdown run, his longest of the season, with 6:21 left in the first quarter. A 31-yard field goal by Arkansas' Zach Hocker gave Arkansas the 10-7 lead with 1:42 left in the opening frame.
Just before halftime, Mallet punched in a 1-yard touchdown run to give the Razorbacks a 17-7 lead.
Like the first half, Arkansas was first to score in the second. Following an Alabama punt that left the Razorbacks on their own 16-yard line, Mallet took the offense 53 yards on 11 plays, punctuated by another field goal from Hocker, this time from 48 yards out. It would be the last time Arkansas would score.
On the next drive, McElroy found Jones for a key third down conversion to extend the drive at the Arkansas 41-yard line. Rushes of nine and 19 yards by Ingram set up a McElroy-to-Richardson 20-yard scoring reception to bring the Tide to within six points with 44 seconds left in the third quarter. The Alabama defense held strong from there and sophomore kicker Jeremy Shelley connected on a 36-yard field goal to put Tide three points closer before Lester intercepted Mallet to set up the game-winning drive.

A push-pull between attraction and repulsion powers the abstract images of tangled, submerged female figures, flying or falling that evolved in her 'prism' or 'insomnia' paintings from the mid-1950s... In Faith, Surrounded by Hope, Charity, and Other Monsters (1976), there's an unmistakable similarity to [Max] Ernst's grattage paintings of the same period, but Tanning's vision is darker—more romantic and dramatic."

It's taken 50 days to get from the opening of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to the puck drop of the Stanley Cup Finals. Along the way we've been witness to some of the best hockey every fan, coach, and player could ask for. Few games were stinkers, most nail-biters, and throughout these 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs one thing has been certain: it's not over until it's over.
Case in point the two teams left standing after three grueling rounds of playoff hockey: The Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers. Two teams that have two different histories and a bit of something for everyone to enjoy.
Broadway vs. Hollywood -
A battle of East coast versus West coast, the two biggest sports markets in the United States, and two different pasts.
The Rangers are an original six team with Stanley Cup victories in 1928, 1933, 1940, and 1994, with the 1994 Cup win being the last time New York has been to the Cup Finals. With one of the most loyal fan bases, a 20 year absence from the Cup Finals may feel as trying as the 54 year Championship drought, given the success the Rangers have felt in those 20 years. 10 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances and 2 Eastern Conference Final appearances since 1994, with the talented rosters that New York has fielded in those 20 years have Ranger fans Cup hungry.
The L.A. Kings on the other hand came into the NHL in 1967 and made waves right away with a trip to the Playoffs in their inaugural season. But it wasn't until the "Trade that shocked the World" in 1988, that the L.A. Kings became household names in the Hockey-verse. Trading to bring in Wayne Gretzky, the Great One, made the Hollywood crowd of Los Angeles come out in droves. Now the Lakers weren't the only show to see in the city. From then on success has been consistent for the Kings, 14 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances, 4 Western Conference Finals appearances, 3 Stanley Cup Finals, and a Cup Championship in 2012. This year marks the second Stanley Cup Final in three years for L.A. looking to be the next to be in consideration as a modern day NHL Dynasty, with a flair for the dramatic, three Game 7 victories on the road to make it to the Cup Finals
The King vs. The Quick -
What more can you say about the quality of the goaltending match up in this Stanley Cup Final other than World Class? Between the pipes for this series are two goalies who have International hardware, a Stanley Cup, and numerous NHL Awards between them. Henrik Lundqvist for the Rangers and Jonathan Quick for the Kings. Lundqvist comes into the Cup Finals boasting the top statistical numbers for the remaining active tenders with a 2.03 Goals against average and a save percentage of 92.8. Numbers that have him square in the middle of the Conn Smythe discussion. Lundqvist has been a rock at the back end for New York and on a team which traded their captain at the trade deadline, Henrik has stepped up as the face and driving force on the team.
For Quick, it has been more of the same that we've come to expect from the US Olympic Starter. He protects the net with the range and style of a gymnast, which makes for show stopping saves and brick wall status. Quick's save percentage and Goals against aren't the stand out numbers that Lundqvist posts, 90.6 percentage and 2.86 GAA, but he has come up big when needed for the Kings and playing behind an offense as potent as L.A. has, he has wiggle room. Expect him to tighten it up though as big players step up in big games and every Cup Finals game is big.
New faces in new places -
Two players making huge impacts during the Stanley Cup Playoffs are Marian Gaborik and Martin St. Louis, both of which are playing in the Stanley Cup Finals thanks to trades made at the trade deadline. Gaborik arrived in Los Angeles after not finding his stride with the Blue Jackets. Before that Gaborik played three and a half years with the Rangers, also not entirely fitting into the offense there. In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Gaborik leads all players with 12 goals, 19 points in total through 21 games, and playing with Anze Kopitar, the Stanley Cup Playoff leader in points with 24, has allowed him to fit perfectly into the fast-paced, strong offense for the Kings.
Another trade deadline move that has made major impacts in these Stanley Cup Playoffs is the Ryan Callahan for Martin St. Louis trade. While only posting 13 points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs so far, St. Louis has come up with huge plays when it counts. Like it's said, big players come up in big games, and St. Louis came up biggest in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals where he netted the overtime winner to give the Rangers a 3-1 series lead before winning, the series in Game 6. Just days after his mother's unexpected passing, the Rangers and St. Louis rallied heavy-heartedly and have moved onto the Stanley Cup Finals. Look for him to continue to be a keep part of the Rangers success.
Prediction: Kings have all the pieces working for them, but at some point three 7-game series' will take their toll. Their epic 7-gamer to knock out the defending Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks was as grueling as they come, but they earned the series win and with it home ice advantage. That will help them a lot, but solid goaltending and a feeling that the Rangers will be ever so slightly healthy makes a difference in my eyes. Rangers prevail in an extremely close and extremely entertaining 6 games, hoisting the Stanley Cup at Madison Square Garden.

10.2.0.3 Database Certified with Apps 11i
By Steven Chan - EBS-Oracle on Apr 24, 2007
[Apr 29, 2008 Update: Added HP Tru64 UNIX to the list of certified platforms]
The 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) database has been certified with the E-Business Suite Release 11i. This is the latest version of the 10g Release 2 Database that is certified with Applications 11i. The full name of this patch set is:
- Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) Patch Set 2 (Patch 5337014)
What's New?
This patch set includes an extensive number of fixes related to performance, stability, and security. The number of actual fixes is too long to list here (or for me to count individually), but if you're interested in drilling down to the details, the full list is published in:
- Bugs fixed in the 10.2.0.3 Patch Set (Metalink Note 391116.1)
Oracle's Own Global Single Instance
I've mentioned before that I'm wary about companies that don't use their own products. You should be, too. As part of our certification process for this patch set, Oracle upgraded its own Apps 11i Global Single Instance to 10gR2 10.2.0.3 in March 2007.
Supported Upgrade Paths
If your E-Business Suite environment is already on an earlier version of the 10gR2 database, you can upgrade your database to this patch set.
If you're on an older version of the database, it's definitely worth considering an upgrade now. You can upgrade to 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) from Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7), Oracle9i Release 1 (9.0.1), Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0), or Oracle 10g Release 1 (10.1.0).
You can also upgrade to this database release if your Apps environment is configured to use Real Application Clusters (RAC) or a split-configuration (where your database tier runs on a different operating system platform than your application tier).
Certified Operating System Platforms
The following platforms are now certified:
- Linux x86 (32-bit)
- HP Tru64 UNIX
- Linux Itanium
- Linux x86-64 (64-bit)
- Microsoft Windows Server (32-bit)
- Sun Solaris SPARC (64-bit)
- Oracle Applications Release 11i with Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0) Interoperability Note (Metalink Note 362203.1)
- Using Oracle Applications with a Split Configuration Database Tier on Oracle 10g Release 2 (Metalink Note 369693.1)
- Configuring Oracle Applications Release 11i with 10g R2 RAC and ASM (Metalink Note 362135.1)

Around the Nation
You Have An Accent Even On Twitter
Think all regions tweet alike? They don't, according to Jacob Eisenstein, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University. When it comes to the language of Twitter — with its 140-character limit — there are regional dialects.
Eisenstein and his team studied one week's worth of data from Twitter — more than 380,000 tweets from 9,500 users.
They found that while in Southern California something might be "coo," a Northern Californian who's making the very same brief, trenchant observation is calling it "koo."
And instead of typing "something," a New Yorker is more likely to tweet the word "suttin."
"It's a nice example of a phenomena that we see in a couple of different places on Twitter," Eisenstein tells NPR's Robert Siegel. The standard form — something — is used throughout the U.S. Then there are phoneticized versions spelled more like it sounds — like the word "sumthin." And then there's "suttin," Eisenstein says, which is almost never used outside the immediate area around New York City.
Eisenstein says researchers were surprised to discover that these kinds of regional differences in tweets are almost completely unconnected from spoken language. For example, he says, there are a lot of ways to say that something is funny on the Internet: "LOL" is a standard term used throughout the U.S., but, he says, there are other forms that are regionally distinct.
"Unfortunately, most of these forms are things that you can't say on the radio," he says. Moreover, he says, they'd never find their way into a spoken conversation.
With its improvised shorthand and creative misspellings, studying Twitter will help researchers see whether social media is making written language more like spoken language.
"There was no way to identify that kind of regional variation until now," Eisenstein says. "And now, through social media, we have written communication being used in a very conversational, informal way, and we're starting to see all the same richness and diversity that we see in spoken language ... in written language, too."

SunTrust Banks (STI) initiated its coverage of Coca-Cola (KO) stock this week with top marks for the soft drink giant and consumer staples darling. KO stock gets a "buy" recommendation with a $47 price target.
Separately, Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) set a $48 price target for Coca-Cola stock on June 19 with an "outperform" rating.
Seems like now may be the time to drink up this mega-cap, considering shares are under $40 right now.
After hitting a 52-week high above $43 earlier this year, Coca-Cola has rolled back amid the recent volatility. In fact, all told it has underperformed the broader stock market in 2013 by a hair despite optimism to start the year.
But Coke is hardly cooked.
Coca-Cola, one of the 30 blue-chips that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is an iconic consumer staples stock with a bulletproof brand and a great global footprint. KO is incredibly stable with a 2.8% dividend and operating cash flow of over $10 billion. Oh yeah, and it's a darling of Warren Buffett's, with Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) owning 400 million shares for about 9% of the entire company.
In its last earnings report, Coca-Cola topped EPS forecasts by a penny on earnings but missed revenue slightly as sales declined less than 1%. Wall Street will be closely watching the stock in mid-July as it reports earnings again, and another miss on the top line could be bad news.
But KO is isn't going anywhere even if it does face short-term volatility, either because of poor earnings or because of broader market pressures. Yes, a focus on healthy eating in the U.S. has caused growth to flatline, but the potential of emerging markets and frontier markets remains robust. And while companies like Pepsi (PEP) and Dr. Pepper Snapple (DPS) are also in the soft drink game, none of them can challenge Coke when it comes to reach and management.
Furthermore, even if Coca-Cola can't find big growth it remains a dividend machine, which makes it a great long-term investment even if shares don't do much by themselves. KO has paid dividends since 1893 for Pete's sake!
Coke may not be for everyone, since it's hardly a fast-moving growth stock. But it has a lot of potential for patient investors — especially after this pullback and optimism from analysts.

weird blood rushing sensations
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Hi all,
I have been experiencing this weird sensation in my left foot/ankle - it feels like I can feel the blood rushing through my veins and happens about every 4-7 seconds, its not painful but worrisome_ as all symptoms are once you have experienced extensive clotting with atypical symptoms. Any thoughts or ideas? My doctor( who I am changing) pretty much said he didnt know what it was and to give it a few days. I am on warfarin. All responses are so appreciated.

Yes, several people have had the same sensation, including me. There's an old post regarding hot flushes if you want to read more...
For me it happens only in my ankle and foot on the DVT leg, feels like a hot flash or I suppose rushing blood is another way to describe it. I like to think it's my veins healing - my DVT leg looks remarkably good for the extent of my DVT, with only some puple mottling around the ankle. So far, I'm not experiencing PTS like others have (knock on wood - PTS can start up years after the fact).
So try to find that post - it was started by Peaches, and I had made it resurface a couple of months ago when I started feeling the same thing. It should put your mind at ease.

Samsung Germany acknowledges '840 Basic' performance slow down, promises fix
Subject: Storage | October 29, 2014 - 07:10 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: tlc, Samsung, firmware, 840
If you own a Samsung 840 SSD, it appears that after much repeated and vocal pressure, Samsung has acknowledged the slow down also affects your drive. We're not talking about the EVO or the Pro, this is the original pure TLC model that launched (the EVO is a TLC+SLC cache hybrid while the Pro is all MLC). Here's the quote from Samsung, via Computer Base:
Uns ist durch das Feedback, das uns erreicht hat, bekannt, dass es auch beim Zugriff auf bestimmte Daten bei Modellen der SSD 840 zu niedrigeren Leseleistungen als angegeben kommen kann.
Im Moment untersuchen unsere Produktexperten systematisch die betreffenden SSD-Modelle innerhalb verschiedener Systemumgebungen und arbeiten an einer schnellstmöglichen Lösung.
Aufgrund der unterschiedlichen Technologien sind die Modelle der PRO-Serie (840 PRO und 850 PRO) nicht betroffen.
What? You can't read German? Neither can we, but paraphrasing from the poor quality translation from several online tools, we deduce that Samsung has acknowledged the issue on the 840, and is working on a solution as quickly as possible. This is similar verbiage to the statement issued for the 840 EVO acknowledgement.
** Update **
Thanks to Zyhmet, who commented shortly after posting, here's a human translation:
Because of the feedback we got, we realized that, accessing specific data with units of SSD 840 could lead to lower reading performance.
For the moment our experts are systematically examining the SSD-units with different system environments and we are working on a solution as fast as possible.
Due to different technologies the PRO-series (840 PRO and 850 PRO) are not affected.
** End update **
Side note - of those who have used the 840 EVO Performance Restoration Tool, a few have reported an issue cropping up. The error manifests as a SMART data misreporting error:
What's odd about this error is that it was present on some of our pre-production test samples (firmware EXT0AB0Q), and was corrected once we updated those samples to the first retail build (EXT0BB0Q). The image above was an actual screen shot taken during our temperature-dependency testing of the slow down issue. While none of our samples had the issue return when updating all the way to the performance restored firmware, one of those updates did corrupt the Master File Table, rendering the majority of the SSD inaccessible. While we have seen no other reports of corrupted partitions, several users noticed the SMART reporting issue after updating. It's odd to see this sort of a regression with firmware updates, in that a bug fixed in the initial shipping firmware has returned (for some) in a subsequent update. If you've updated your 840 EVO with their Performance Restoration Tool, it may be a good time to check your SMART attributes. If you see the error above, please leave us a note in the comments.
Circling back to the slow down issue - given that it is present in two TLC-based SSDs from Samsung, one has to wonder if this issue exists in other Samsung TLC SSDs as well. Here's the list of potentials (thanks to an anonymous comment on a prior story):
- 840 EVO - 19nm TLC
- 840 - 21nm TLC
- PM841 - 21nm TLC
- PM851 - 21nm TLC (some SKUs)
- 845DC EVO - 19nm TLC
- PM843 - 21nm TLC
- PM853T - 21nm TLC
We have several questions out to Samsung on these issues, but to date they have not been answered. More to follow as we wait for an official (English) response.

Over the past week or two, there have been growing rumblings from owners of Samsung 840 and 840 EVO SSDs. A few reports scattered across internet forums gradually snowballed into lengthy threads as more and more people took a longer look at their own TLC-based Samsung SSD's performance. I've spent the past week following these threads, and the past few days evaluating this issue on the 840 and 840 EVO samples we have here at PC Perspective. This post is meant to inform you of our current 'best guess' as to just what is happening with these drives, and just what you should do about it.
The issue at hand is an apparent slow down in the reading of 'stale' data on TLC-based Samsung SSDs. Allow me to demonstrate:
You might have seen what looks like similar issues before, but after much research and testing, I can say with some confidence that this is a completely different and unique issue. The old X25-M bug was the result of random writes to the drive over time, but the above result is from a drive that only ever saw a single large file write to a clean drive. The above drive was the very same 500GB 840 EVO sample used in our prior review. It did just fine in that review, and at afterwards I needed a quick temporary place to put a HDD image file and just happened to grab that EVO. The file was written to the drive in December of 2013, and if it wasn't already apparent from the above HDTach pass, it was 442GB in size. This brings on some questions:
- If random writes (i.e. flash fragmentation) are not causing the slow down, then what is?
- How long does it take for this slow down to manifest after a file is written?

Samsung's new 21nm Toggle TLC Flash based Series 840 SSDs
Subject: Storage | November 20, 2012 - 08:48 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Samsung, 840, tlc
As part of their review of the Samsung 840 250GB SSD, The Tech Report covers the specifics of the TLC flash memory which is used in the 840 series as opposed to the MLC we saw in the 830 series. As well they show off some of the capabilities of the control software, which Samsung has dubbed the SSD Magician utility. Of course from there the benchmarking begins which showed performance continually below the similarly priced 830 series which hurts the new SSDs on the price to performance chart. Overall they are hard pressed to recommend the drive over the previous models, not only because of the performance but also the shortened lifespan of TLC flash. As that flash technology matures we may see those concerns fade, as Allyn pointed out in his review.
"Samsung's 840 Series SSD combines a next-gen fabrication process with an extra bit per cell to lower the cost per gigabyte. We take a closer look at the implications and see how the drive stacks up against the competition."

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Last week, Samsung flew myself and a few of my fellow peers in the storage review community out to Seoul, Korea. The event was the 2012 Samsung SSD Global Summit:
At this event, Samsung officially announced their new 840 Pro, which we were able to obtain early under NDA and therefore publish in concert with the announcement. The 840 Pro was largely an incremental inprovement over their 830 Series. Newer, faster flash coupled with a higher clocked controller did well to improve on an already excellent product.
As the event closed, we were presented with the second model of the lineup - the 840. This model, sans the 'Pro' moniker, is meant more for general consumer usage. The first mass marketed SSD to use Triple Level Cell (TLC) flash, it sacrifices some write speed and long-term reliability in favor of what should become considerably lower cost/GB as production ramps up to full capacity. TLC flash is the next step beyond MLC, which is in turn a step after SLC. Here's a graphic to demonstrate:

Samsung smashes the 830 series with the 840 Pro

Allyn wasn't the only one blown away by the performance and efficiency increase of the new Samsung 840 Pro 512GB SSD, anyone who had a chance to review this drive saw incredible performance. It is not yet available for purchase but you can expect to see the 256G at $270 and this 512GB at around $600 when they do become available. Inside the 3-core eight channel MDX controller is paired with eight 64GB modules of Samsung's new 21nm MLC DDR-2 toggle mode NAND, which give this drive its incredible speed. SSD Reviews came to the same conclusion that Al did, we need a new interface as SATA 6Gb/s is already being saturated by high end SSDs.
"Our report on the Samsung 840 Pro SSD begins post take off from Pearson Int'l Airport in Toronto and on route to Seoul, South Korea. Having had this SSD in our hands for some time, even the enormity of the Samsung 840 family release celebration cannot overshadow the performance of what just might be the hottest solid state drive to hit the streets to date. How does just under an extra hour laptop life and 100,000 IOPS grab you to start?"

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Samsung has been at this SSD thing for quite some time now. The first SSD I bought was in fact a Samsung unit meant for an ultraportable laptop. Getting it into my desktop was a hack and a half, involving a ZIF to IDE adapter, which then passed through yet another adapter to convert to SATA. The drive was wicked fast at the time, and while it handily slaughtered my RAID-0 pair of 74GB VelociRaptors in random reads, any writes caused serious stuttering of the drive, and therefore the entire OS. I was clearly using the drive outside of its intended use, but hey, I was an early adopter.
Several SSDs later came the Intel X25-M. It was a great drive, but in its earliest form was not without fault. Luckily, these kinks were worked out industry-wide, and everyone quickly accelerated their firmware optimizations as to better handle random writes. Samsung took a few generations to get this under control. The first to truly get over this hump was the 830 Series, which launched earlier this year. It utilized a triple core Arm 9 CPU which was able to effectively brute force heavy random write workloads. It also significantly increased the speed and nimbleness of the 830 across the board, which combined with Samsung's excellent reliability record, quickly made it my most recommended series as of late.
...and now we have the 840 Series, which launched today. Well, technically it launched yesterday if you're reading from the USA. Here in Korea the launch started at 10 AM and spanned a day of product press briefings leading to the product NDA expiration at 8 PM Korea time. This review will focus on the 512GB capacity of the 840 Pro model. We will follow on with the 840 (non-pro) at a later date:

Leaked Nokia N79 pics turns out to be fake
You've got to hand it to them brothers of Yao Ming. Who else would be able to pull something like this off, right? I'm talking about some clever folks who recently unleashed a barrage of Nokia N79 leaked photos on the Internet, which unfortunately, all turned out to be fake.
The first Nokia N79 leaked photos we're rather convincing, but this latest round is just blatant piracy. I thought I noticed something wrong when I was looking at the photos, and I wondered to myself how these "leaked" pics might be those of a knock-off. Lo and behold, I was right.
I don't know, maybe I just have higher hopes for Nokia. Anyway, let's just hope that the N79 (as well as the Nokia N85) really gets to enjoy its official announcement come August 25th, alright? Fingers crossed!

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there a bathroom on board? Yes there is a fully functioning "head" (that's what sailors call the bathroom). Complete with running water, TP, and soap.
- What if the weather is bad? Safety is priority #1. If the Captain determines that the weather is too bad for a safe voyage, you will receive a full refund.
- What if there is no wind? No worries mate, Defiance is equipped with an inboard engine. You will still enjoy the cruise, some swimming, and awesome scenery of Beaver Lake.
- What should I bring? Sunscreen and sunglasses are very important in the summer (please do not bring oil). It's always a good idea to bring along a windbreaker and dress for weather slightly cooler than that on shore. If you want to swim, bring your suit and a towel. Please wear shoes with non-marking soles. Sandals are okay but not as safe as tennis or deck shoes.
- What if we want to take more than six along? Sorry, the yacht has a maximum capacity of six passengers (including children of all ages) plus captain and crew. We suggest you hire the boat for the day and sail in shifts.

Do isopods grow on trees?
Isopods are crustaceans, like crabs and lobsters. And like crabs and lobsters, isopods originated in the oceans and then evolved to become terrestrial. In fact, they have become so successful on terra firma that, according to Brusca, there are more terrestrial isopod species than there are marine species. It seems that they are now on their way up the tree trunks. If they face a strong enough selective pressure, who knows, maybe one day they will even evolve wings to conquer the skies.
During my recent trip to Antwerp, Belgium, I encountered these isopods on wet tree trunks late in the afternoon after a rainy day in a wooded park. I was actually looking for slugs; instead, I found isopods. According to the notes I took, they were on both smooth- and rough-barked trees. The highest ones I saw were more than 2 meters above the ground. As you can see in the pictures, the tree barks were covered with green algae (cyanobacteria) and probably also with fungi. I suspect the isopods were partaking of the algae and the fungi.
So, if they were feeding on the trees, then the answer to the question posed in the title of this post is Yes, isopods grow on trees.
I don't know anything about isopod taxonomy, but based on the patterns and colors visible on their dorsal surfaces (the technical term for that part of their bodies is pereon), there were at least 3 species.
This one:
This one:
And this one:
Of course, they may all be the same species and the observed pattern and color differences may be due to age, male-female dimorphism or polymorphism, etc.
Isopods were featured on this blog before in this post and in this post.

TV Watch America's Next Top Model
Has the bad blood between Janice Dickinson and Tyra Banks cleared up once and for all?
Though Dickinson apologized to her former America's Next Top Model colleague late last year for disparaging comments – calling Banks fat in 2007 and accusing the show of being "rigged," among other offenses – she still has some explaining to do.
In an exclusive clip from Saturday's episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now, Dickinson, 60, talks about her storied career as the self-proclaimed "world's first supermodel" and, later, a TV personality on shows including ANTM and Celebrity Rehab.

America's Next Top Model is under fire after legal documents filed by former contestant Angelea Preston allege that the show and its host, Tyra Banks, wrongfully disqualified Preston because of her escort past.
The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday, claims that Preston originally won the reality show's cycle 17 and was entitled to a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl and a spread in Vogue Italia, but once it was discovered she had worked as an escort, Preston was disqualified. Lisa D'Amato was ultimately named the winner.

Long before Analeigh Tipton had lines to run, she had a runway to walk.
When Chantelle Brown-Young was 4 years old, a mysterious white patch appeared on her stomach. Diagnosed with the skin disorder vitiligo, Brown-Young watched as similar spots spread all over her body over the next few years, including on her hands, knees and face.
"The bullying started when I went to school," Brown-Young, 20, tells PEOPLE. "It was tough. I definitely had problems with self-esteem."
Although the cause of vitiligo is unknown, the disorder is believed to destroy cells that produce skin pigment, according to the National Institutes of Health. It causes white patches, which are more noticeable on naturally dark skin. In Brown-Young's case, these patches are nearly symmetrical.

Like mother, like son!
Lisa D'Amato's infant son, Daxel Vaughn, showed off his modeling skills on Tuesday when the America's Next Top Model alum posted an adorable snapshot on WhoSay.
"No pics of cool clothes, cool nails or a pic of me at a photoshoot- nothing cutting edge-just a pic of my morning view!" D'Amato wrote. "Have a great week!"
The photograph is the second image D'Amato has recently shared of the infant, who was born in September.

And baby makes three!
America's Next Top Model all-stars winner Lisa D'Amato, 31, is now a proud mom to a newborn son.
"My baby boy Daxel Vaughn Friedman is born! He is 7 [lbs.] 2 oz. and he is perfect! I'm in love. #LibraBaby," she wrote on Twitter. She also included an Instagram photo of her little boy's feet and sleepy eyes.
Eva Marcille recently said her pregnancy is "more than just a dream." And indeed, reality is catching up with her.
"To see your stomach get bigger, to feel this leg kick inside of you, and then to see the baby, it's like, 'Whoa! There's really a baby in there!' " the former America's Next Top Model winner told PEOPLE on Saturday before hosting Robi Reed's 11th annual Sunshine Beyond Summer charity event in Los Angeles.
It's not all happiness and wonder, though. Marcille, 28, agrees with fellow ANTM alum Lisa D'Amato on the subject of a pregnancy glow.
