OBERLIN — The approach of the World Series is a wonderful time for Stephen Johnson III, a member of the Society for American Baseball Research.
But afterward, he said fans of America's most popular pastime will have to deal with a long, long wait for baseball to return.
"The time between the last World Series game and the first day of spring training is to be referred to as 'the dark time,'" Johnson joked.
Johnson, a trustee of the Oberlin Heritage Center, will give an illustrated talk at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday at Kendal at Oberlin, 600 Kendal Drive, one block east of state Route 58.
His talk, called "Baseball: Personal Stories of the Game," is free and open to the public.
Johnson's program will touch upon a number of topics, including his friendship with a major league umpire and his volunteer work at the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
He also will speak about baseball sites he has visited and the great and not-so-great players he has met through the years.
As the son of a diehard Yankees fan, he grew up idolizing Mickey Mantle, and he got to meet the slugger.
Accompanying his talk will be a display of vintage photographs and memorabilia from Johnson's private collection.
He has memorabilia involving circus midget Eddie Gaedel, who was hired to pinch hit in 1951 by St. Louis Browns owner Bill Veeck because of his tiny strike zone. Gaedel was paid about $100 and lasted only one game before the league instituted a minimum height requirement, Johnson said.
But perhaps his favorite story on a team trying to draw a crowd involves 10-cent beer night in Cleveland on June 4, 1974.
Rowdy fans were blitzed, and Cleveland had to forfeit the game, he said.
"It just got worse and worse with people throwing things onto the field and they finally ended the game," Johnson said.
Johnson, who served as Oberlin High School band director from 1977 to 2002, said he tends to root for underdogs, so he is hoping Baltimore or Oakland goes to the World Series this year.
In all his years as a baseball fan, Johnson said he will never tire of the sport.
"I've never been to a baseball game in my life that I didn't see something I've never seen before," he said.

ESPN analyst Bill Polian, who spent more than 25 years in NFL front offices, believes Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Michael Wallace will be one of the most desirable players on the free agent market next week.
Several analysts have pegged Wallace, a New Orleans native who starred at O.P. Walker, as the top-ranked free agent. But some believe Wallace's asking price could be too high.
Polian, though, said the market will dictate if Wallace is able to command a top salary. Wallace, who has 4,042 yards and 32 touchdowns in his four seasons, is reportedly seeking a contract similar to the five-year, $55 million deal Vincent Jackson signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year. In four seasons, Wallace is averaging 17.2 yards per catch.
While the New Orleans Saints could use a dynamic play-making receiver like Wallace, they are not expected to be major players in courting the receiver because of their lack of cap space.
"The receivers tend to be high-profile anyway," Polian said. "So when they fail, it's a big issue. So the question of Wallace is that he is the guy who meets all of the parameters that you'd like. He is productive. He has great speed, which is always something that is desirable in a receiver. He falls within the reasonable age parameters and he hasn't had a high history of injury.
"When you look at all of the things that you use to try to decide whether or not you want to pursue a player, he checks every box with few question marks. There was some issue as to how effective his hands were this year. I don't think it was a major issue, so there you have it. We'll see where the market goes. He's now 6-2 and 220 pounds, so that may be a consideration for some teams.
"But in terms of the red flags that would cause you to turn away, he doesn't have many. He's a guy that most people will feel is pretty desirable but, again only the market will tell. This is in many ways like an IPO. There is a lot of discussion, there is a lot of analysis, but only the market will tell you whether it's going to go or not."

Karlos Dansby can't believe he's on an 0-5 team (video)
The sense of disbelief is spreading through the Miami Dolphins' locker room.
A season that began with internal playoff talk — even if most national pundits saw the Dolphins as a likely disappointment — has taken a turn for the worse.
Already in an 0-5 hole, the Dolphins must pull themselves together in a short week to face the Denver Broncos in Tim Tebow's first NFL start.
Did we mention most of the fans at Sun Life Stadium will be there as part of Gator Day, which means they'll be rooting for Tebow?
"Definitely blows my mind [to be 0-5]," Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby said. "We've got too much talent. We've got too many winners in here. We just got to put it together. That's the key right now, just put it all together."
What about the confidence level?
"The confidence is still there," Dansby insisted. "If I have to lead guys with the confidence, that's what I have to do. I'm a winner man. I don't lose like that. Everybody that's surrounding us, we're winners. We shouldn't be losing like that. We just got to put some emphasis on this and get it right. We've got to stand up."
Considering Dansby is the highest-paid player on this defense in terms of overall contract, you might wonder why leadership is a matter of "if," but perhaps he misspoke.
Even if they do manage to "stand up," can they do it in time to keep this season from spiraling toward the oblivion that was 2007?

When talking about the West Virginia Mountaineers, school spirit and state pride are one and the same. Most universities strive to reach this level, but in Morgantown, it comes naturally to fans. For further proof, consider that "Take Me Home, Country Roads" serves as both the official song of the Mountain State and the soundtrack for thrilling victories on the gridiron.
Folks in Morgantown love John Denver and his catchy tune about the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River, but the celebrated singer/songwriter will always rank second in the hearts of Mountaineer supporters. Since debuting in 1891, football has dominated nearly every facet of life in West Virginia. The phrase "Let's Go Mountaineers" is said as often as "Good morning" or "Gee, how about this weather?" That kind of devotion may seem strange to people from other parts of the country, but for true West Virginians, cheering on the Gold and Blue is as normal as apple pie or drinking a beer or two on a hot summer's day.
It's important to champion the commitment of WVU fans, because for many years, on-field accomplishments were pretty lacking. From 1922 to '69, the Mountaineers registered a total of six bowl appearances. However, there were some shining moments. In '53, All-American Sam Huff powered West Virginia to a record of 8-2 and a date at the Sugar Bowl. Huff would go on to enjoy a successful career in the NFL and is part of the elite company of athletes who have been elected to both the College and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Before he turned Florida State into a dynasty, Hall of Fame coach Bobby Bowden patrolled the sidelines in Morgantown. Over the course of six seasons, Bowden would orchestrate five winning campaigns, two appearances on the Peach Bowl stage, and one classic triumph over the dreaded Pitt Panthers. If Bowden set the bar for excellence, then Don Nehlen is the one who cleared it. Nehlen served as field general from 1980 to 2000, guiding WVU to 13 bowl showings in that time.
All the years of climbing the proverbial mountain of success finally paid off in '06, when West Virginia downed Georgia at the Sugar Bowl for the program's first victory in a BCS bout. Subsequent wins at the Fiesta Bowl in '07 and Orange Bowl in '11 have resulted in fans across the country recognizing that the Mountaineers are truly elite.
On Saturdays, more than 60,000 diehards pack into Milan Puskar Stadium to cheer on the Gold and Blue. Many of those in attendance spend all day gearing up for the gridiron battle. Prior to kickoff, they take part in the Mountaineer Mantrip, the football family's traditional march to the coliseum. In addition to tailgating and reliving past triumphs, WVU supporters also find time to warm up their vocal chords. Not only will they be hollering words of encouragement for 60 minutes, but they want to make sure their pitch is perfect when the time comes to sing "Country Roads."

One day last week, a co-worker sent me an e-mail about the most amazing salad she'd ever had. I asked where she got it and she said simply, "the Myrtle Quick Stop."
It just so happened I was headed to Myrtle later in the week, so I told her I'd stop in and check it out. I got good directions to the place, and then promptly got lost. (For the record, if you're headed west on Highway 78, take the Myrtle exit and go right at the T. It's on the left.)
When I finally got there, I walked in and saw all manner of food: pizza, fried chicken, french fries, burgers … but no salads. I felt sure I was in the wrong place.
So I timidly asked the lady behind the counter, "Is this the Myrtle Quick Stop?" Clearly, I was an out-of-towner, and I heard conversations stop in mid-sentence as people checked me out.
Apparently, I passed muster, because folks went back to their business. The lady behind the counter answered nicely that I was in the right place and explained that salads were prepared on the spot after orders were placed.
So I placed my order and waited about 15 to 20 minutes for the salad to be assembled. After taking a look at it, I gladly would have waited an hour.
And it was as delicious as it was pretty.
I have no idea how much of anything went into this salad, but here's the list of ingredients so you, too, can duplicate it at home. Or, just drive to Myrtle. The Quick Stop isn't hard to find once you know what you're looking for.
Quick Stop Salad
Mixed salad greens
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, grilled with lemon pepper seasoning and cut in chunks
Ripe tomato wedges
Diced green bell pepper
Diced Vidalia onion
Sliced black olives
Sliced mushrooms
Jalapeampño pepper rings
Pepperoncini rings
Shredded cheese
In a large bowl, place salad greens. Top with chicken and remaining ingredients. Drizzle with dressing of your choice.

You could say that Blackberry manufacturer RIM is having a pretty tough week….well actually, you could say they have been having a pretty tough couple of years.
This week, chief legal officer Karima Bawa resigned, coming hot on the heels of their Global Sales head Patrick Spence, and even worse is the warnings of job losses at the company, and with the announcement of much worse than expected first quarter figures, the future looks bleak for Blackberry
Blackberry's Troubles
Blackberry has struggled to stay ahead in the face of the meteoric rise of the iPod and other smartphones.
Their fortunes weren't helped by an intensely embarrassing technical failure last year, which resulted in a disruption of services for up to 4 days, resulting in their much loved service Blackberry Messenger (BBM) failing, which saw a whole load of angry consumers and perhaps the beginning of its downfall in consumer popularity.
Although Blackberry have struggled to remain competitive, despite embracing the use of new technologies such as fuel cells, it is still considered a leader in its industry, due to the security features that they offer to users, although this has sometimes put them at odds with law enforcement agencies, who see use of the device heavily associated with organized crime.
Blackberry's future… is there one?
So what's next for RIM and Blackberry?
Rumours of takeover bids have floated around the internet for a while, where last year there were reports that major market players such as Amazon were interested in acquiring the company, perhaps based on the strength and prestige of the brand name, seeing it as a valuable asset.
So, what does Blackberry say about all this?
The company hopes that by cutting jobs and bringing outside expertise from JP Morgan and RIM, they will be able to turn things around, but ultimately, as with most things, only time will tell.
On a more positive note is the announcement that the new Blackberry 10 is still on track for a 2012 release, although even this statement has been met with some degree of scepticism.
What do you think is in store for Blackberry's future? Do you have a Blackberry? Or have you switched to the more popular smartphones, like the Samsung Galaxy or the iPhone?

Data from first study with bardoxolone methyl will be released in November. [© Karen Roach - Fotolia.com]
Reata Pharmaceuticals completed a $78 million equity financing led by existing investors CPMG and Novo. It will fund the second of two pivotal trials of Reata's lead product candidate, bardoxolone methyl, in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes.
The primary endpoint of the ongoing first pivotal trial was recently analyzed and the data will be presented at a scientific meeting in November, Reata says. "We are looking forward to initiating the second pivotal trial of bardoxolone later this year and remain on track to make this important new therapy available to CKD patients in 2012," remarks Warren Huff, Reata's CEO.
Reata plans to build a commercial organization in the U.S. to launch bardoxolone. In December 2009, it inked a deal with Kyowa Hakko Kirin to jointly develop bardoxolone in Japan and certain other Asian markets. The company says that it plans to seek a partner for development and commercialization in Europe and other worldwide markets.
In two Phase II trials bardoxolone significantly improved kidney function in patients with advanced CKD and type 2 diabetes. Ninety percent of patients in these studies experienced an increase from baseline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), according to Reata. More than 70% of patients classified as Stage 4 CKD at baseline improved to Stage 3 CKD, the firm adds.
Founded in 2002, Reata Pharmaceuticals is developing oral anti-inflammatory drugs targeting Nrf2, which controls the body's production of antioxidants. Nrf2 has been shown to protect against a broad range of diseases associated with inflammation and oxidative stress, according to the company. Including the current financing, Reata has raised $180 million since its inception.
This most recent round of funding will also be used to advance other potential products from the firm's preclinical pipeline into clinical development, notes Huff. Other antioxidant inflammation modulator programs include one in CNS diseases like multiple sclerosis and another in respiratory diseases like COPD.
The firm also has a SOD1-folding stabilizer, RTA 801, in preclinical development against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The molecule was identified on Reata's protein folding drug discovery platform.

I am confused im trying to get the derivative of $3xy$ out of this entire equation $$y= 4x^5 + 3xy + 5$$
Do I use the product rule here?
When I take the derivative, I try product rule.
$$(3)(y) \times (3x)(1)$$
So then I get $$3y \times 3x$$
Am I on the right track?
Maybe I am lost but I am assuming its product rule unless its another tactic I have to use here?

'a particle can be seen if size is greater than......'
(ahem.....can't remember the exact thing). He told me that the air particles are too small and can't be seen. Well, another theory proposes that a particle is visible if the light falling on it, reflects some amount of light, and that amount of light reaches the eye and makes the particle visible.
Blah Blah Blah...... Thats all physics... Now think of you explaining this to someone who doesn't know anything about physics....
I came up with this brilliant idea.......!
What if we have the ability to see air.?
Air is everywhere. If we posses the ability to see air, then we will be seeing just the air and nothing else. We can't see the roads, people, walls and nothing else. There will be a think wall between all of us. Some of you can say what if air is translucent.?
Well in that case we will be seeing each other through a medium, That won't be good..!
When i asked my dad about this he was delighted....!!. All this is my thinking and my opinions compiled together.

The password on the Twitter account hadn't been changed, and no tweets were sent from it (only DMs).

Someone has been repeatedly trying to hack into my website. I'm on a windows box, running ASP and an Access Database. [more inside]
Port Scans
Every day for the last three weeks or so Sygate Personal Firewall Pro has blocked twenty or more port scans. In the past I would be scanned maybe once or twice a week. What has changed? I change my IP address from time to time and I know my box is secure and isn't worth hacking anyway. What gives? I'm getting tired of the blinking icon.
As a new webmaster, what should I do to protect my sites from hacking?
I'm new to the running a website thing. Reading the log files I noticed that people are already trying to hack me. Right now its the basic look for frontpage access (which, obviously, I don't have as I write everything in textpad) but I want to know what steps should I take to secure the server? How can I protect ftp directories, monitor bandwidth theft in the form of linking to images, etc.? can I prevent that all together? [more inside]

The funniest autocorrects ever with the Ellen Show
October 28, 2012 1 Comment
We all know about smart phone's autocorrect feature, which some times makes u end up with a huge embarrassing blunder. There's even a website totally dedicated to these embarrassing autorrects called DamnYouAutoCorrect.
As funny as that website is, it's no match to the "Clumsy Thumbsy" segment on the Ellen show. Imagine the funniest autocorrects ever, then imagine Ellen reading them out loud with that super comedic talent of hers. It is just unbelievable.
I only posted one of the segments, but you can check out the whole playlist [here] if you want.

The number is over double the 1 million downloads Microsoft saw for the IE9 Beta and four times that of the IE9 RC over the same time period. That's not too surprising: more people will download the final version than the unfinished versions.
The above video shows the launch of Microsoft's latest browser, along with various demos of what it can do. If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth a look.
2.35 million is a decent number for 24 hours, but it is hardly impressive. The current record holder is still Mozilla, which had over 8 million downloads of Firefox 3 in a 24-hour period on June 18, 2008. Did you contribute to Microsoft's number?

What A Chicken Nugget Paste Looks Like: You Are Eating This, America
Chicken nuggets, right before being soaked in ammonia to destroy bacteria obtained from the long separation process. Since no one likes the taste of ammonia, it will be artificially reflavored and treated with dyes so the consumer thinks it is a natural cut of meat.
Chicken Nuggets. Hot dogs. Deli salami and dried jerky. Have you ever eaten any of these things, or even better, fed them to your kids?
You may be shocked to learn the truths about mechanically separated meat, that is, the things you've likely consumed. The image above is purportedly that of unwashed Chicken nuggets, right before being hard washed with ammonia and then to get rid of the chemical taste, reflavored to give the frozen chicken nugget taste we've all been conditioned to tolerate as 'good' and acceptable.
While the process of producing MS meat products has been around since the 1950s, it is a regulated industry.
During the 80s and 90s, the spread and alarm of mad cow disease dictated that beef could no longer be an acceptable MSM. Instead, an advanced form of meat processing is necessary for beef, but poultry and pork can and still is processed via MSM methods.
Beyond looking disgusting, mechanically processed meat is a reflection on a society where speed and cheap cost seem to dictate the moors and tradition of the food industry.
There was a point in time when wholesome, fresh foods were put on the table by the women of America. But in this society that is becoming so focused on destroying traditional family values, there is no longer demand for a neighborhood butcher, a local dairy or decent food. We live in an age of golden arches, microwaves and throwing down the most absurd concoctions in our gullets.
To the left, the mechanically processed meat is labelled with the respective 'part' of the chicken from which it comes. Note that after cooking, it blanches and looses the pink coloration, turning white in all cases. What chemical is being destroyed or denatured by the heating process?
Is this the food our grandmothers would have been proud to serve at their table? I think not.
On television you will notice more and more ads promoting juices and vitamins that are anti-oxidants. They combat cancer causing free radicals. Why are we having to defend our bodies more and more from the effects of chemicals?
It is things like this, America. Processed meats. Genetically modified foods. It is all unnatural and dangerous. It is cheap and without true care for the consumer. Some liberals out there will try to claim it is the way of the future, but honestly, is this what you imagine your child's future mealtime looking like?
Then when that is all nice and vatted out, we can shape them into patties and heat them for consumption.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Vicki Gunvalson has been on the show since the very beginning, which is about 9 seasons ago. She has been filming the show for years and fans have seen some ups and downs with the family. She has gotten divorced and she has experienced a backlash after dating Brooks Ayers. She should be the next to get something from Bravo. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on May 23, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Vicki Gunvalson should - in theory - be the next one to get a spinoff.
None of the Orange County housewives have gotten spin-offs, but there have been more Atlanta housewives to get spin-offs. In fact, it sounds like Vicki Gunvalson should potentially get her own show, and Bravo is supposedly looking for something new and interesting to fill in their Monday nights. Bravo is hoping that a new show could mirror the success of "Vanderpump Rules" and many are thinking that Tamra Barney's fitness club could be a good fit. But it sounds like Vicki's insurance company could also work.
"Bravo is seeking to anchor Monday nights better for RHOC next year with a comparable program, if not spin-off, that carries a So Cal vibe," LALATE reported this week. "While Tamra Barney is not set to get a CUT Fitness spinoff just yet, LALATE can report that Bravo is seeking how to anchor Monday nights as a better programming block with a Laguna Beach like show."
It sounds like neither woman is getting a spin-off show, if the above statement is true. It sounds like they are looking for some new and interesting characters that are as interesting as Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor and Kristen Doute. However, it is questionable whether that will happen with a housewife spin-off. Sure, Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant proved to be a good fit for Bravo, but since it has become such a hit, it is questionable whether this success can be matched with another workplace in the franchise.
What do you think of Vicki or Tamra getting spin-offs? Do you think that Vicki deserves her own show, since she has been on the show for so long, or do you think she doesn't have an interesting life to get her own show?

MPAA Rating:
PG13 for sexual material, language and drug references
Beca is that girl who'd rather listen to what's coming out of her headphones than what's coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together. When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college a cappella. This could wind up either the coolest thing they'll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.
Pitch Perfect (PG13)

Dear Hyapatia,
I used to never be able to come during sex. Now with my new boyfriend, I've been enjoying sex like other people for the first time in my life. We get really high and then have sex. I feel like I'm floating. I laugh and come really hard. My problem is that now it has gotten to the point that I can't come unless I'm stoned. I don't know if I'll ever be able to come straight. I've tried and it just isn't the same. What's wrong with me?
Dear Celia,
Nothing is wrong with you! So what if you need to get high before you have sex to cum! It's not going to hurt you or anything else. Smoking pot relaxes us and allows us to feel all the good feelings like happiness, creativity, harmony, understanding and the ability to communicate better – physically or verbally. Many people find it hard to relax in today's world. Perhaps, in a perfect world, you wouldn't need to smoke pot every time you had sex in order to come. But remember, you can't be perfect in an imperfect world. It is just impossible! There are so many pressures and worries. It's hard for people to get their minds and bodies to relax. But that's why the Great Spirit created pot!
Dear Hyapatia,
I had a girlfriend for two years and we had the best sex ever. After a good attitude adjustment in the evening with our favorite weed, we fucked every night. We both always came many times and it was always as hot as hell. She liked everything I did and it was like there wasn't a single move that she didn't groove on. Now I'm with another girl. I like her a lot and all, but in bed it just ain't the same. I can't seem to get her off as much as I used to with my other lady. Why can't she relax and let go and get as hot as I know she could if she would just try. What can I do to help her?
Dear Cal,
There are about five different basic shapes of women's pussies – and about the same number of shapes and sizes for guys' cocks. Sometimes the fit is perfect; sometimes it takes a little adjusting to find the best positions, etc. I can't go into the details of all five here, but my Native American heritage teaches that there is "dancing woman" (with small pussy lips, who likes it deep), and a "horse man" (obviously hung). They are perfect for each other. A "wolf woman" (with large pussy lips, who does not like it too deep) is perfect for a "bear man" (who is not too long, but extra thick). If a horse man is with a wolf woman, he'd have to adjust how deep his thrusts are for her and concentrate on her clitoris more than her G-spot, but the dancing woman is the opposite. You and your girlfriend might have to try some different positions and explore each other's body a bit more!
Heya Hya!
I'm a grower with years of success under my belt and a fully stocked delivery service on the DL. My lady and I have only been together a few weeks. When we first met, she didn't seem that into me, until she found out I had a bunch of weed laying around. Now she wants to be with me all the time and the whole thing is hot and heavy. I get the feeling though that she is just a weed whore. I just don't understand. Why all of a sudden, after meeting me a couple of times before, and nothing, you know?
Dear Chips,
Your instincts could be right or it could be that it took meeting you a couple of times for her to find out what kind of person you are and become interested in you. Are you insecure with the ladies? Remember, you don't have to answer to anyone but yourself, but she could be actually into you and you just can't believe it. You could always set up a small test to determine if it's you or your green. Try hanging out with her a few times and don't smoke and refrain from weed conversation. If she's still just as into you, it's real, dude! If not, you know what to do.
Dear Hyapatia,
My girlfriend and I like to have sex in the shower. A couple of weeks ago, we were doing it and I had to pee. Since we were in the shower, I just peed a little bit inside her. She didn't seem to notice so I didn't say anything. A few days later we were fucking in the shower again and I peed in her again, it was a little bit more this time. It felt so good; I couldn't help it. As a matter of fact, I've been doing it every day since. I don't know if she knows what I am doing or not. She never complains. I would think she could feel it and know, but when I asked her if I could pee inside her she acted shocked and said she'd have to think about it. I wanted to tell her that I've already been doing it for a couple of weeks, but I didn't know what she would say about that. Why doesn't she just say okay? It shouldn't be a big deal.
Dear Johnny,
At first I thought this was a prank letter and I disregarded it, but then I got to thinking. What if someone really is doing this out there? If you really are peeing in your girlfriend, here's what I have to say – what the hell gives you the right to do science experiments on your girlfriend's body without her permission? Are you nuts? Have you ever heard of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)? They're often caused by things going up into the pussy that shouldn't really be there: if you douche too much or too hard; if you use too many dirty foreign objects during sex; or if you piss in your girlfriends pussy! These ailments are very painful and can lead to sterility. You think hell hath no furry like a woman scorned? Wait until an angry woman you made sterile comes after you! Toilets and urinals are for pissing in, not your girlfriend's pussy, ass or mouth – just in case your mind already went there, dirty Johnny.

I Cry Just 'Cause (1X1)
"That's a pretty name," he commented, tone light. "Do you mind if I sit next to you? I'm new so I don't really know anyone."
Emma sighed. "I don't think you'll find me that great of company, but go ahead."
"So, tell me a bit about yourself," Louis pressed, keeping the conversation going.
"NOt much to tell, besides I've lived here my whole life."
"And how old are you then?"
"I'm sixteen," Louis told her.
SHe rolled her eyes. "Cool. And I care why? Oh, yeah, that's right. I don't."
"Well, what do you care about?" Louis asked, refusing to be put off.
"Music," she blurted out before thinking. Then she blushed and turned away.
The girls burst into giggles. "As if. Her mother was probably a goblin and her father a troll. I mean, look at her! She's ugly! " said the on girl with shiny blonde hair
"Then again, we'll never know 'cause they never cared about such a little b*tch as that!" Another round of laughter started as Emma's fist clenched. She continued to stare down at her plate.
They could have said anything else and Louis wouldn't have cared, but using her parents to insult her made him angry. He picked up his plate of food and threw it at the girls.
They screamed and gasped. "How dare you!" Emma's head shot up and she gaped at him in surprise. "You shouldn't have done that!" she told him, her eyes widening with fear as the blond girl gave her a death glare.
"What are they going to do, pout at me?" Louis said, unafraid.
"It's not you they're going to give bloody noses and black eyes and broken bones to," she muttered, looking away. Emma caught the glittering, green eye of Abigail Jones and read murder in it. She sighed. Oh, well. This was life.
"Well, if they hurt you I think they should know that I'm not too gentlemanly to punch a girl," he said confidently.
Emma sighed. "I sleep in the same room as they do. There is nothing you can do about, so please, just leave it be." She got up. "I'm gonna go."
"I wouldn't mind sleeping in the same room as you," Louis smirked.
Her dark brow quirked. "That's against regulations, for one thing, and for another, you're a good liar."
"Trust me, I'm an exceptionally awful lier. One that doesn't really care about regulations."

- Description: The latest spurt of deadly religious violence between Hindus and Christians in the East Indian state of Orissa is undoubtedly a blot on the secular credentials of India as a country. Orissa has a long history of Hindu-Christian clashes, usually sparked by Hindu's suspicions over missionary work. Thousands of poor and lower caste Hindus have converted to other religions, including Christianity, often in an attempt to escape the rigid confines of Hinduism's complex caste system. That has long ...

In the latest socio-political scandal to emerge from California, destined to go down in history known as "Poopgate," San Marino's Mayor Dennis Kneier resigned his office on June 18 in disgrace after being videotaped tossing doggie doo doo onto the front yard of his political opponent, Philip Lao, back on June 7. According to The Huffington Post, when Lao saw the canine feces on his front walk, he checked his home surveillance system, recognized Kneier as the culprit and contacted the San Marino police.
The YouTube video of Kneier cavalierly tossing the poop into Lao's yard has since gone viral. The mayor was given a citation for littering by police.
The public outrage from San Marino's citizens who exclaimed that Kneier tarnished the image and smeared the good name of the city by his actions was the mayor's incentive for resigning. Although he has stepped down as mayor of San Marino, Kneier will retain his post on the City Council. San Marino's interim mayor is now Eugene Sun, also a City Council member. Sun will serve as mayor until June 27. "The council will meet next week to select a new mayor," according to The Pasadena Star-News .
Kneier has been a city council member for seven years. He began his second term as mayor of San Marino last January. His term as a council member runs through November 2015.
Kneier wrote that his actions were inconsiderate, disrespectful , and just doggone wrong, to paraphrase. He stated in his resignation letter that he decided to resign his post instead of continuing to embarrass himself and the residents San Marino.
"I have apologized to my neighbor for my action, and I will pay a fine for littering," Kneier wrote.
"These events continue to be embarrassing to me and to the city. Because of this, I have decided to step down as mayor."
Following the public release of Lao's surveillance video, the term "Poopgate" was coined back on June 11 at a San Marino City Council meeting attended by 100 of the city's residents. It was standing room only, as the City Council meeting room can only accommodate 49 people. Citizens at the meeting also took the opportunity to express their disdain for Kneier's weak public service record.
"I regret the fact that I did what I did," Kneier said. "Some people said it was a minor thing, but I'm not making any excuses whatsoever. I've apologized. I will pay a fine for it, but it's not the end of the world, and I will continue on."
For more on Kneier's resignation as mayor of San Marino, see the video accompanying this article.

Co-signer issues are a major source of complaints reported to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB), the agency revealed in its mid-year report on student loans released today. Some lending institutions include a clause that throws a student loan into default when a co-signer dies or goes into bankruptcy, even though the student is current with loan payments. According to the CFPB, some borrowers have complained that lending institutions demand the borrower make full payment as they are burying the loved one who co-signed their education loans. Some loan issuers attempt to collect from the deceased's estate.
In the case of a co-signer going into bankruptcy, borrowers complain that they stop receiving loan statements and are unable to access their accounts on-line. Although students are current with their loans, they are reported as "in default" to credit agencies. The CFPB notes that this black mark on a credit profile can hinder a student's ability to find a job.
Since the financial crisis of 2008, banks have tightened borrowing criteria, requiring about 90 percent of private student loans to have a co-signer. In 2008, only 67 percent of private student loans were co-signed. Most often co-signers are parents or grandparents. Another complaint reported to the CFPB is the confusion over how to discharge a co-signer's obligation. Many loan institutions, when promoting their loan products, advertise that co-signers may be released after a certain number of on-time payments. Borrowers complain they face many obstacles when trying to get these releases.
The CFPB analyzed the more than 2,300 complaints they received between Oct.1, 2013 and March 31, 2014 related to private student loans. The bi-annual report is required under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The CFPB maintains a database of consumer complaints about financial products and services. The Bureau, an independent agency of the federal government, is tasked with enforcing federal consumer finance laws, educating consumers about financial products and analyzing data related to consumer financial products.

Rental properties in Limpopo's capital city are in strong demand and investors are making a comeback in Polokwane's buy-to-let market.
Sandra van der Merwe of RealNet Polokwane Letting franchise, says the rental market is underpinned by a large pool of consumers who aspire to homeownership but fail to obtain financing due to poor credit records, as well as short-term contractors working in the industrial sector.
She says shortages in the affordable sector with rental units in the R4 000 to R7 000 range are almost unobtainable.
"The cheapest single accommodation to be had is rooms in student communes at monthly rentals of around R2 000 - but in some cases up to three students share a room and pay around R800 per head," she says.
However, tenants in higher income groups are prepared to pay a premium for comfortable homes, and units in upmarket security estates are taken up fast at rentals of between R15 000 and R20 000 a month. Van der Merwe says a new listing of 15 rental properties on the office web page received 200 enquiries within two days.
She says businessmen starting up in the city and technicians on short contract on Eskom's power lines, as well as at the mines, prefer rental "packages". Most don't want to be bothered with hiring staff and require properties that come with a housekeeper and garden and pool services - and they are willing to pay for the convenience.
Achievable rentals now generally equal 75 percent of outstanding bonds, compared to around 60 percent a year ago, Van der Merwe says, and investors are sitting up and taking note. "Investors who left the market shortly after the previous property boom are returning and we are also sourcing rental properties for new investors who view the returns as very worthwhile."
She says local rentals increase by an average of 10 percent a year if tenants renew contracts, and by about 15 percent per year if the property is let to new tenants. Polokwane is also one of the cities where the highest deposits are paid.

Disease Proof
Ha Ha! Atkins Diet Raises Heart Risks, Duh!
More bad news for the Atkins fad, published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association new research reveals the high-protein, i.e. high-saturated, Atkins diet reduces blood vessel dilation, an important factor in heart health. Scientists placed 18 healthy people on three different diets, the Atkins diet (50% fat) and two others lower in saturated fat, 30% and 10%. Four weeks after completing the experiment, Atkins participants performed the worst on a blood vessel test. Atkins Nutritionals had no intelligent rebuttal; HealthDay News reports.
High-fat diets are dangerous. A couple years ago, a study linked the Atkins diet with inflammation linked with heart and artery disease. Atkins himself was overweight and had heart problems. In addition to heart problems, consuming copious amounts of meat, i.e. saturated fat, and little to no fiber and fruit, heightens risk of colon cancer and other cancers. Recently, hotdogs were tied to leukemia risk and red meat with blindness.
In related news, a previous report showed low-carb high-protein diets sap people's energy and discourage activity and another study revealed Atkins produced only modest weight-loss results with limited sustainability in the long run. Tisk, tisk.

Hi Gerry
It would appear that the Atkins corporation is distancing itself from Doctor Atkins approach. Check out this nutritional overview from their web site. Sounds perhaps closer to E2L than "Lose weight with cheeseburgers". The winds of change are a blowin' in low carb land.
"Atkins is about eating delicious and healthy foods, which makes it so much better than any of those fad diets out there. You eat a variety of your favorite foods - lean protein, leafy greens, vegetables, nuts, fruits, whole grains."
Veggies? Fruits? Grains? Leafy Greens? I'll have to try that (giggle)
Regards, Steve
I've been telling people this forever. Nobody's been listening because the comeback is, "well so-and-so lost so much weight" to which I respond, and how long do you suppose his body can withstand the dumping of all that fat and red meat before it rebels?
I still say, the best diet emphasizes a growing awareness of the nutritional qualities of foods, combined with an increasing sensitivity to "your" preferences and needs. Fruits and veggies in copious amounts, are a staple for nearly everyone, myself included. I keep the intake of nuts and seeds low; of grains, low; of fish low, of red meat lower still, and all junk foods, lowest of all. Beyond that point, controversy grows to infinity. Instead of following these "diet plans," rigidly, we should be using common sense, good taste, recognising the uniqueness of each indivdual, and showing a willingness to surrender to good and sound science.
The obsession with all the "popular" diets, is nothing more than a desperate need to simplify a fundamentally complex and inescapable challenge and responsibility.
I'm not an Atkins proponent, but I do get a little tired of all this "research." 18 people and 4 weeks? Are you freaking kidding me?!? That's a great way to draw meaningful conclusions - limit the scope of your study to the point of being laughable.
Look, Atkins is crap because you end up eating a lot of cheese, butter and other man-made crap. That said, meat is not bad - if you didn't have the luxury of modern society (that is, agriculture and grocery stores), not eating meat would leave you dead in no time. You'd be trying to subsist on grass and leaves. If you had any interest in living, you'd hunt. And then we'd be able to stop doing all this ridiculous research and having all these stupid arguments about what we "should" be eating.
All the research that points to low life expectancy in meat-eating cultures is spurious, too. Of course the Maasai don't live as long as people in developed countries - try raising your family in Kenya without modern medicine and see how long you all last. You can't just look at life expectancy and tell anything about the health of the adult population based on their diet.
"The obsession with all the 'popular' diets, is nothing more than a desperate need to simplify a fundamentally complex and inescapable challenge and responsibility." John, that's a great thought. I would suggest, however, that it's good to simplify. The problem is when, as with the 'popular' diets you're talking about, you over-simplify.
You can skew any research you want. But common sense tells you that you should eat what would keep you alive if you had only nature to subsist on. Just ask yourself, "If I didn't have immediate access to food, what would I eat?" Then eat along those lines. If it were me, I'd hunt game, eat green foliage to sustain me between hunts, and forage for other food like fruit. Hmmm - meat, veggies, fruit and nuts with no grain, processed dairy or junk food? Wonder why that sounds healthy. Lucky us, we have the luxury of eating all those foods as we need them, and we get to choose spinach, broccoli and chicken as opposed to grass, sticks and squirrels. Of course I'm occasionally going to have some bread or butter, but the basis of what I eat should be those simple, natural things that man would eat in order to survive.

Philcoradio.com Restoration Notebook
In this section of the Philcoradio.com website, I wish to present a number of pages chronicling detailed restorations of various Philco radio models.
These pages tell the stories of how I, and sometimes others, restored certain Philco models. One page tells how a friend of mine carefully reconstructed a Plaskon cabinet which was thought to be damaged beyond repair. Two others show how I installed an improved oscillator circuit to give the radios better performance. Yet another illustrates the difficult task of replacing an on-off switch in a 1941 Philco with a new part to give it a stock look. Some of these stories involve restoring a radio back to stock specifications. But in a couple of instances (such as the Super 71, and the Super 89), these involve modifications from original specifications. Some purists may cringe at the thought of modifying an old set. But when you see that the two sets which were modified were very poor "rust bucket" chassis to begin with, I felt that to modify them in the manner presented herein was better than stripping the chassis for parts and then merely tossing the old rusted chassis.
More pages will be added to this section as time allows.

Eclipse/FDT freezes while building workspace
September 29th, 2011 • ActionScript, General • 3 comments
If you're dealing with very big projects with lots of classes in Eclipse/FDT it might happen sometimes that Eclipse gets stuck while building the workspace. Even killing the Eclipse process and starting it up again won't help, because with "Build Automatically" enabled it starts building right after launching and probably gets stuck again. This little solution will get you up and running again in a few seconds…
- shutdown Eclipse
- goto the workspace folder in your filesystem
- rename the project-folder which caused the problem
- startup Eclipse (now it won't start building, because it doesn't find the project)
- disable the automatic building process (untick Project > "Build Automatically")
- close Eclipse
- undo renaming the project-folder
- startup Eclipse
- build project manually (select project, Project > Build Project)
- after that you can enable the automatic building again

AS3 Circle Gradient
March 30th, 2010 • ActionScript, Flash, Projects • No comments
According to my previous post about the AS3 Circle Color Spectrum I wanted to implement the circle gradient in pixel bender as well, so there you go. You can specify up to 4 colors and control the appearance with the corresponding ratio.
the parameters for the shader
- center for passing in the x and y
- innerRadius and outerRadius for controling the size of the circle
- rotation (0-360) to change the starting angle
- color1, color2, color3, color4 in the format RGBA (1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 = 0xffffffff)
- ratios an array of color distribution ratio

AS3 Circle Color Spectrum
March 30th, 2010 • ActionScript, Flash, Projects • 5 comments
Just a few days ago I released my HSB Color Wheel interface. All the graphics used in there are drawn with the AS3 drawing API including the circle color spectrum and the circle gradient. This performs very well but just out of curiosity I wondered how hard it would be to generate the color spectrum in pixel bender … and well it's not that complicated, actually it's easier than doing it in AS3 because pixel bender is made for dealing with colors and pixels.
I implemented a few parameter to control the shader
- center for passing in the x and y
- innerRadius and outerRadius for controling the size of the circle
- rotation (0-360) to change the angle where the red color starts
- ratio (0.0-1.0) for controling the space used for 1 color spectrum, e.g. a value of 0.5 would use 180 degrees for displaying 1 spectrum and you would end up with 2 spectrums in your circle
is it just me or does the circle in the middle seem to rotate slightly … scary … anyway

HSB Color Wheel
March 27th, 2010 • ActionScript, Flash, Projects • 13 comments
I just did some interface experiments because I always wanted to have some kind of circle color picker … the HSB Color Wheel is what I came up with. I implemented some settings to change the appearance slightly. I plan to release the AS3 code here if anyone is interested and as soon as I have the time to clean it up a little bit.
You can download the source files of the HSB Color Wheel Demo here:
I didn't clean up the code, but should be straightforward. Have fun playing with it and post or email me a link if you use it somewhere.
