Today, like every other day for the past two weeks, the strange cat that has adopted me inexplicably made its way into my house and curled up next to my head while I slept. I'm horribly allergic. FML

Today, I introduced my girlfriend to my parents over lunch. Unfortunately, I showed my dad her Facebook profile beforehand and he wouldn't stop making cracks about her duckfacing. It started with "Don't let her eat the bread, it'll puff up in her stomach and kill her", and ended in tears. FML

I've been stunned looking at the blog reactions and seeing how many pundits think the only solution for preventing such tragedy is a "fully armed citizenry." Here's a starting point.
Aw, Potlatch seems nice. Like a kinder, gentler Weyerhauser.
Plum Creek Timber - owns over 8 million acres of timberland in the US. (Weyerhauser hold about 6 and a half, I think.) I've seen it referred as "the largest private owner of timberland in the United States." (Washington Post)
Expeditors Int'l - a freight forwarding company with over 150 offices world wide. Started and still headquartered in Seattle. Expeditors will get the boxes from the factory to the customer while clearing customs on the way. You know the UPS whiteboard commercials? It's like that.
Ornette's last CD, Sound Grammar, is a masterpiece. Put down the sad bastard music and listen to this man.
Love Ornette Coleman! "On Tenor" introduced me to jazz. Own his lovely 1959-1963 run on CD. I just didn't realize he was still making records.
from abc news:
"Sources tell ABC News that Cho killed two people in a dorm room, returned to his own dorm room where he re-armed and left a "disturbing note" before entering a classroom building on the other side of campus to continue his rampage."
did they check his dormroom? how could they not figure out who this kid was and at least check his room? he was there after the first shooting, with the murder weapons. i find it difficult to believe, through the filter of my own college experience, that there weren't a number of students that knew exactly who this guy was.
other news reports are saying a psychology phd candidate was dispatched to mediate the dispute between the killer and his ex-girlfriend. if this 'domestic disturbance' was responded to by law enforcement, the initial frisk of the killer would have stopped this massacre.
it feels near-disingenuous to backtrack about the choices that could have been made. my point is that the response could have been more attuned to the potential threat in an early monday morning 'domestic dispute,' and screened out the potential threat before trying the lighter touch of a mental health counselor.
my training and experience as an attorney handling domestic violence cases led me to conduct negotiations with jilted litigants in view of the sheriff. the assumption is that people under such circumstances are unpredictable and potentially violent, because it is not about the 'domestic' nature of the dispute. it's because they're insane enough to hold their former lover responsible for their anger and rage. and a person who cannot take responsibility for their own emotional state is someone who is a risk for externalizing their rage onto the person they hold responsible for their pain. the irrational psychological process involved in such situations is the key. it is irrational to hold the 'domestic' nature of the situation accountable for the rage, and irrational thought process is a clear warning sign that a risk of danger exists.
to accept that the 'domestic' nature of a situation is the actual cause of the dispute is to miss the irrational rage that is the true cause. to fail to see the madness involved leads to missed opportunities and potentially preventable tragedies.
the school had a madman on campus, likely easily identified as a student and thus easily located, sitting with guns and ammo in his dorm room. and no one broke the door down, no one staked out his room, no one locked down the campus to conduct searches.
the university is saying this happened because they thought it was a domestic disturbance and that the killer had left. if they had checked his dorm room they would have known that he hadn't left the campus. they thought it was a domestic disturbance and didn't bother to check his room. it looks like they assumed that they were dealing with an otherwise rational person who had simply had a bad day and killed two people that morning.
and now over thirty people are dead. if a 'domestic' double murder was seen as the indication of true psychotic madness, they would have locked the campus down until the killer was confirmed to be off-campus. they would have done more than send 'be cautious' emails. they had every reason to think that the killer could be somewhere in the vicinity, because they clearly had not confirmed that he was truly off campus.
they could have caused massive disruption to the campus and used a huge amount of resources to lock the campus down. at the very least, law enforcement and possibly swat teams would have been massively mobilized on campus by the time the second shooting began.
they could have apologized later if the killer was actually off-campus and said "murders that are 'domestic' in nature are indicative of a complete meltdown in the individual committing the murder, thus we had to respond as if we had a grave and immediate threat to the rest of campus; at the very least, there was a significant risk that there was going to be an armed confrontation between police and the killer and we needed to clear the campus as a precaution for such a risk"
by all means, sloggers, tell me i'm wrong. i want to be wrong.
Holy crap, r. Unreadable.
You sir are right. You have thought out plenty of points that need to be addressed. Assuming anything gets one into trouble every time.
While you make several good points, the fact remains that nobody, except possibly for the people shot in the dorm, knew who the shooter was prior to the second shooting. A man identified as the ex-boyfriend of the female victim in the dorm was detained on a highway, questioned, and let go, i.e. he wasn't the shooter. The other news reports yesterday indicated that the shooter was hard to identify due to (1)having shot himself in the face and (2)his fingerprints not matching any records databases. Whoever this guy was (even though we now know his name), he didn't have a record. This could very easily be an instance of the truly random and purely insane. Personally, I wouldn't use 20/20 hindsight to blame anyone but the stone cold crazy with the murderous impulse.
Also, in terms of security, my own college experiences at the UW would indicate that "locking down" a campus of that size is damn near impossible to do. They are completely open, almost like small cities. Also, in a large and diverse enough area, NO ONE looks out of place on a large college campus, not little kids or homeless people or cops or protesters in costume. Unless this guy was running around waving his guns in the air between shootings, he'd be impossible to distinguish from the thousands of other people on campus.
I feel for the people who have a connection to VT. Yesterday's events were horrible beyond words, but they were no one's fault but the coward who decided to shoot strangers and then take his own life.
@Bot: I totally and completely agree. you have it right.
@R- There are police procedures in place for homicides. They followed those procedures. There is no way they would suspect that the killer would go on a rampage. Its like in medicine. Sometimes people have rare diseases. That doesnt mean that when you come in with the sniffles that that doctor is going to assume that you have some rare ass condition. Mass shootings are EXTREMELY rare. Why would the police assume anything like that? They didnt know right away who that guy was, since they have to spend time questioning people, securing the scene of the crime. They were also trying to calm down the students there. They were on a manhunt looking for the suspect. There is no way shutting down the campus would help them do any of those things. They had police on campus looking into the first shooting. Give the police a break. They were following the correct procedure for their job. Unless there is a trained cop who reads slog and disagrees?
2 stories that affect many more Americans that the horrible shooting at VT:
To the Sonics:
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hey Hey Hey
Send us a postcard, n00bs!
Uh, gee, Monique. Glad you're concerned about bacon and, um, bringing home the bacon.
Somebody better tell ECB about that bacon story.
No, it's a secret, all the bacon is belong to us.
William in Seattle, you is crazy. We want the Sonics to stay here. We can't all be ballet fans like you, aight?
Sorry, never been a fan of the Sonics.
But the Storm rule!
I seem to recall a double shooting on a campus a lot closer to us than VT just a week or so ago. They didn't lock down the entire UW campus, and no one here or anywhere else ever suggested they should have.
They didn't arrest the shooter before the second series of incidents because they didn't know who he was, and the second set of shootings hadn't happened yet. There are probably 40,000 people on that campus on an average Monday morning. The shooter was remarkably shy and unknown even to the people who lived next door to him. His weapons and ammo were small and easily concealable on a campus where most of those 40,000 have fridge-sized backpacks on. The cops didn't think about maybe the first shooter would go all the way across campus and kill a bunch more people, because that's not a sensible thing to think.
All of the 20-20 hindsighters thinking the cops and the university president and everybody else should be fired and/or sued and/or flayed alive in the public square are missing the fact that the profile of this shooter is met by approximately half of all the college students in the country; you want to lock them all up?
The reason I question what went wrong is to encourage the community to figure out better ways to protect itself. I dont know exactly how to make communities safer, but I think a decent place to start is to try to figure out what might have gone wrong, so better policies and protocols can be developed for the future.
"The University of Washington has a high-level safety team that was put in place after a murder-suicide. The aim is to move staffers who are in danger to other offices or provide them extra security protection. However, that system failed recently when a 26-year-old staffer was killed by her ex-boyfriend on April 2."
I've tried to piece together reports of information about the VA Tech massacre that may have been known, in order to respond to some of the posts above. This is some of what Ive found:
"Cho had shown recent signs of violent, aberrant behavior, according to an investigative source, including setting a fire in a dorm room and allegedly stalking some women."
from USA Today via think progress:
"The Chronicle of Higher Education quotes an English professor who says "faculty members repeatedly reported their concern about things the 23-year-old student had written in his creative-writing courses.""
from the daily telegraph via drudge:
"Witnesses to the shooting said that the gunman was involved in an argument with a girlfriend and had later stormed out of the dormitory building. A counsellor believed to be Mr Clark, who was also a resident adviser was called to calm the situation at the dormitory. The gunman returned at 7.15am and shot Ms Hilscher and Mr Clark. US media reported that Mr Clark had been shot in the neck."
from the chicago tribune via raw story:
"At the dorm where the initial shooting occurred, rumors were flying among the student residents. Several said they were told an Asian student somehow got inside the building after 7 a.m. and went up the stairs to a dorm room on the fourth floor, apparently looking for his girlfriend.
Some students said they heard popping sounds, and later found that a popular male resident adviser, Clark, 22, of Martinez, Ga., had been killed along with a female student who the students said was a roommate of the woman the man was looking for."
from the VA Tech newspapers collegemedia site:
April 17th 2007 2:06PM
"When asked whether he had physical behaviors or dressed a certain way, Derry said he always wore a maroon Virginia Tech hat, but other than that usually wore jeans and a t-shirt; nothing out of the ordinary.
"When I heard the killer had been wearing a red hat," Derry said. "I immediately thought of Cho.""
April 17th 2007 10:49AM
"The person of interest in regards to the first shooting in West Ambler-Johnston was an acquaintance of the female victim and is still under questioning. He was stopped immediately following the first shooting and was detained for questioning. As he was being questioned, the Norris shootings occurred. He is not a student."
(editorial rant: was the person of interest bloody? did he have a gun? any indication of firing a gun recently? how long did it take to figure out that they MAYBE did not have the killer? they had this guy immediately after the first shooting, and were still talking to him without alerting the campus until after 9am? did they think they had a criminal genius who had figured out how to remove all sign of a gruesome double murder that had just taken place?)
from the associated press (see first link):
"The dormitory was locked down immediately after the shooting, Steger said, and a phone bank was activated to alert the resident advisers there so they could go door-to-door warning the 900 students in the dorm. Security guards surrounded the dorm, he said, and others began a sweep across campus.
Asked why he didn't order a lockdown of the entire campus, Steger noted that thousands of nonresident students were arriving for 8 a.m. classes, fanning out across the sprawling campus from their parking spots.
"Where do you lock them down?" Steger asked."
(by 7:30 a.m. post big signs at every entrance : "campus closed. all classes cancelled. possible gunman on the loose. do not enter under any circumstances" add a cop to tell cars to turn around at each entrance. something like that. don't increase the carjacking opportunities for a killer on the loose.)
This is my version of an attempt to honor the memory of victims of violent crime. It is a challenge to face our community vulnerabilities and become better prepared to respond to a future crisis.
If a double-murder happened at UW and an armed killer was possibly loose on campus, I hope that UW would do its best to immediately restrict access to the campus and alert the community that the police are looking for an armed and likely dangerous suspect.
Well, technically only the first 10 Washington companies listed are in the F-500.
I was surprised to learn Potlach was based in Spokane. I always thought they were from, you know, Idaho.

Dog-bite boy: Animal Control blows it again
Recently you may have read an article my mother wrote about her disgust how Fayette County Animal Control wouldn't retrieve a dog that bit her grandson and she just wondered where our taxpayers' dollars are going if that's no longer in their job description.
My mother didn't mean ill feelings towards the owners of the dog. It was just that the dog is tied and exposed to wildlife that carry diseases and he wasn't current on shots, as confessed by the owner. All she wanted was it to be picked up and tested.
That being said, the owners had to take it in. So my question is, if my mom reported the bite and a official report was made, what do you feel the protocol should be after the dog was tested?
If you were the parent and family of this child, wouldn't you be waiting anxiously to hear the results or to see if you need to go beyond the standard care of a wound? I sure would.
Well, in another what I feel was a blatant error, the parent of the child or grandparent was never notified that the dog was cleared. Instead they let the dog owner know and after not hearing anything from either, my mom had to call after hearing the dog barking and realizing it was back.
I work in the medical field and feel this is inexcusable. None of this has been to embarrass the owner of the dog; they are good friends. My mother has always stood for what is right and has never been afraid to state it. She is a strong intelligent woman and I'm proud to call her mother, but I know she must get tired of always having to do the fighting, [thus] this letter.
If you feel as strongly about this as we do, please contact Fayette Animal Control and let them know this was handled poorly. Remember this could happen to your child, grandchild, or friend.

Professionally I began in DevOps and programming was just my hobby. When the opportunity came to shift my career to programming, I seized it with no regrets. My focus is backend programming, first in PHP, then C#.NET, and now JavaScript.

I was pleased with the overall aspect of hotel, however when I needed to go to a convenience store, there was no cross walks on an extremely busy street.

Hotel was great, minus no fridge or microwave. Also, do not drive in Juarez unless you have insurace that will cover a car jacking, because it will happen even at 2:45 pm at a busy shopping center with security and police present. You will loose your car from some mexican with a gun that he will put in your face. Don't drive fly to Elpaso and take a taxi.

text: Catalogue Anne Noble Ruby's room Move over the picture to zoom Catalogue Anne Noble Ruby's room Catalogue Anne Noble Ruby's room €8 •Available Order Since the beginning of the 1980s, Anne Noble has been one of New Zealand's top photographers. She mainly works in series and often explores the place of memory and sensation. This series consists of very large format images and first started in 1998; it is dedicated to the artist's daughter, Ruby. It illustrates the artist's original view of childhood, one that explores 'what children do with their mouths'. Anne Noble is a leading representative of the photographic arts in New Zealand, and she refers to her work as an 'alternative archaeology of childhood'. By employing a deliberately disproportionate scale compared with the apparent ordinariness of her subject matter, and the use of flash and very strongly contrasting colours, the artist has found an unusual way to emphasise a part of the body, the mouth, in its many symbolic functions. Feeding, expression, language, etc. The catalogue offers the entire cycle of photographs taken by Anne Noble, including a conversation with artist and Yves Le Fur, who commissioned the exhibition. This publication forms part of the Photoquai 2007 biennale, and includes references to Anne Noble, her exhibitions and publications.

Faces iMake - Right Brain Creativity
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Faces iMake - Right Brain Creativity encourages kids to be creative by creating faces using collage materials. It also provides opportunities for kids to share their creativity via email and social media as well as with other app users worldwide in a special gallery called FaceWorld. The overall design is very kid-friendly and fun and even introduces kids to symbolic elements of art. Parents may want to stay nearby while kids view the video lessons as the YouTube video suggestions that appear after viewing the lesson could be inappropriate for children. They should also remind kids uploading to FaceWorld not to share their real name.
What kids can learn
- drawing
- imagination
- innovation
- making new creations
- producing new content
- cooperation
- group projects
Tech Skills
- digital creation
- using and applying technology
Engagement, Approach, Support
Beautiful graphics and kid-oriented design engages young minds and makes them feel good about their original creations.
Artwork inspires creativity, and lessons led by the artist and children's author introduce kids to perspective and symbolism. Kids learn by doing.
The video tutorial shows kids exactly what to do with the controls, and the resources let kids easily create fabulous-looking art.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
Kids have countless options to create faces using everyday objects such as food, candy, musical instruments, and toys, even customized sizes and shapes. They simply scroll through pictorial menus to choose their items and drag them into a facial outline. Kids can lock pieces into place, which allows them to layer other objects on top of each other. Kids can play the background music that comes with the app or add songs saved from the device (or turn off the music all together).
Is it any good?
The graphics are beautiful, and the interface is very easy for kids to maneuver. Most impressive, though, is the instruction in the video lessons taught by artist and children's book illustrator Hanoch Piven. Kids will come to look at everyday objects with an artist's eye. They can create alone or together with others, and then save their collages to the iPad's photos.
Kids also have an option of collaborating with the world by uploading their creations to FaceWorld -- a free online gallery. While there, they can select art created by others, download it, modify it, and they choose to upload it to the world again. Parents will want to remind kids not to use their real names when sharing artwork.
Families can talk about...
Provide kids with a variety of materials for creating art. Take some inspiration from some of the items available in the app.
When looking at your kids' creations, ask questions. "Why did you choose that for the nose?" or "What inspired you to use that color as the background?"

Another cracking ShAFF trailer about a 'normal' couple's trek from Seattle to Alaska.
Check out this trailer for one of the highlights at this year's Sheffield Adventure Film Festival, Journey On The Wild Coast. It's a Banff award-winning account of a 'normal' married couple's human-powered, year-plus journey, mostly walking, journey from Seattle to Alaska and it looks amazing.
Remarkably the couple who made the film were still together at the end of it, something ShAFF publicity machine Lissa and Nik Cook freely admit wouldn't be the case if they attempted the same stunt - bet ya a packet of Hobnobs you'd be okay, guys...
You can find more details, links to reviews etc plus further ShAFF info at: www.shaff.co.uk/programme-detail/2012/03/10/Journey_On_The_Wild_Coast/
And if that's whetted your appetite on a Friday afternoon, here are a couple of other ShAFF highlights for you. Nik's favourite is Unbreakable, the story of four unbeaten mountain running champions taking on the epic Western States 100 race: www.shaff.co.uk/programme-detail/2012/03/09/Unbreakable_The_Western_States_100/
And finally, Lissa recommends Finnsurf: 'I love Finnsurf', she says. 'It's totally nuts. Nice soundtrack and bonkes Finns saying "stoked" in a Finnish accent.' Sounds like our kind of film. More at:www.shaff.co.uk/programme-detail/surf-films/2012/03/09/Finnsurf/.
Finally, Al Lee's ShAFF trailer 2012 has now had more than 90,000 views - see linked articles below.

The Retro-Lab was ''an opportunity to play with some
old-school gadgets; the sort of stuff we thought was so out
there and innovative back in the day'', Dunedin Public
Libraries marketing co-ordinator Kay Mercer said.
''Amazingly, 90% of these things you can do on your
smartphone now.''
One of the most popular exhibits was a cassette recorder.
''The parents have been enjoying showing their kids how these
old inventions work.''
Others include 33rpm and 45rpm vinyl records, a Walkman,
slide viewers and box Brownie cameras.
The Retro-Lab will appear in the Dunedin Public Library

Part 1: Overview
Many species in Canada have not yet been assessed by COSEWIC, but are suspected of being at some risk of extinction or extirpation. These species, referred to as 'candidate wildlife species' are identified by the Species Specialist Subcommittees (SSCs) or by the Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) Subcommittee as candidates for detailed status assessment. Candidates may also include wildlife species already assessed by COSEWIC as Not at Risk or Data Deficient, but where new information suggests they may be at risk.
SSC and ATK Subcommittee members use their expert knowledge and judgment to identify candidate wildlife species. They draw on numerous sources of information including (where available) the General Status of Wild Species in Canada Program, information drawn from other multi-jurisdictional monitoring, jurisdictional and international assessment processes (e.g. IUCN and ABI) and published ranking systems in the scientific literature. As time and resources allow, COSEWIC will commission status reports for high priority candidate wildlife species so that an assessment can be undertaken.
Status reports are commissioned by COSEWIC through an open competition. A Call for Bids is periodically posted on this website both for selected candidate species, and also for species already assessed by COSEWIC that require a reassessment. You can register to be notified when new Calls for Bids are posted on the website.
For more information on candidate wildlife species, visit the COSEWIC's Assessment Process and Criteria.
Part 2: The COSEWIC Candidate List
The highest priority wildlife species from the SSC candidate lists are reviewed and ranked by COSEWIC, and result in the COSEWIC Candidate List. COSEWIC bases its ranking on prioritization data submitted by each SSC (Prioritization Criteria developed by COSEWIC for ranking wildlife species). The COSEWIC Candidate List identifies the highest priority candidate wildlife species for status report production. Wildlife species included in this List include those not yet assessed by COSEWIC and those in the Not at Risk or Data Deficient categories, where new information suggests they may be at risk of extinction or extirpation from Canada.
Fall 2015 Call for Bids (1)
Fall 2016 Call for Bids (8)List of COSEWIC candidate wildlife species that will be included in the fall 2016 COSEWIC call for bids for the preparation of status reports (PDF Version)
Part 3: The Species Specialist Subcommittees' (SSC) Candidate Lists
Each SSC annually prepares and maintains a SSC candidate list of wildlife species that it considers at risk of extinction or extirpation nationally. Species on the SSC candidate lists are ranked into three priority groups by the SSCs to reflect the relative urgency with which each wildlife species should receive a COSEWIC assessment. Group 1 contains wildlife species of highest priority for assessment by COSEWIC, and includes wildlife species suspected to be extirpated from Canada. Groups 2 and 3 contain wildlife species that are of intermediate and lower priority for COSEWIC assessment, respectively. Rationales for inclusion of wildlife species on the SSC candidate lists differ among the taxonomic groups considered by COSEWIC, reflecting the vast differences in their life history, and differences in our knowledge about the species.
The provinces or territories marked with † represent areas where the wildlife species is especially at risk. Wildlife species marked with one asterisk (*) were included on the Fall 2015 Call for Bids whereas those marked with two asterisks (**) will be included on the Fall 2016 Call for Bids.

The 49ers are a huge challange for the Pack. Get by that game and they can win out. It will be the most physical game they will play in play-offs.Hide replies
Agree. They are physical. The Viking lines were good tests but the Niner D is much better.
Crabtree has really come on. Can Kaepernick perform like a vet in his first playoff game? We shall see...
Agree on the challenge and I think Kapernick will do fine at home. The failed Mary looms large next week as I think at home our chances are better. I am prepared for a sitting on the edge of the couch game going down to the wire.
If the D play the run like they did tonight they can play their nickel like they want to. I think a big test will be for MM and Rodgers not to get frustrated. Guessing it will be a fairly low scoring game and if they stay patient they'll be in it at the end. Hope Crosby is feeling confident next week!
LL, if they can stop Gore and force Kapernick to pass on 3rd and long then you got to worry about him taking off. He adds another dimension to their offense they did not have with Alex Smith. I think our O line needs to step up big time both in run and pass to win.
Kapernick is still a rookie - one doesn't know how nerves will affect his play on Saturday. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Pack defer the kickoff again next weekend, because I wouldn't be surprised to see Kapernick make some mistakes right off the bat, trying to do too much.
Hell of performance by GB's D.Hide replies
Very disciplined in their gap control and maintained their lanes better compared to last week. Raji very disruptive the last two weeks. Walden looks more rested and quick.
Sam Shields made some great tackles on AP...he's come a long way.
Sam is one of my favorite Packers.
NC, that was a great tackle.Matthews got knocked down and gave up the edge and I thought here he goes than wham, Sheilds mad a perfect low tackle. I hope TW watched that.
I'm out, gentleman and ladies.
To the whiners: your dream has come true...another game to complain about next weekend!

Do you really think that will stop them, I doubt it.
Looking back at 1st game most telling stats(turnovers of course being equal): Gore16-112(7 yd ave), Hunter(out for the year)9-41(4.6 Ave). For Packers-Benson 9-18(you do the math) and Rodgers were only rushers. Need to hold Gore to around 4 yds a carry, they can live with Kapernick getting loose a couple times. I wouldn't be surprised to see Green a little, he's their only outside runner. Obviously MM will call runs more than 9 times.Hide replies
Thinking back double L you are right. They had us pretty one dimensional back then, things have changed and I am encouraged, although I probably will be a nervous wreck through the whole game.
Me too. Akers has been having problems too, could come down to which kicker misses fewer FGs! Having more balance on O should really help.
I'm in the Chicago area working and they had Wayne Laravee on radio yesterday. he broke NFC play-offs down to Seahawks and 49ers/Packers winner. Kind of sounded like he thought 49ers were NFCs most talented team and was leaning towards them but wanted to see how Woodson would fit in after being out so long. Really hope Neal shows up next week like he did tonight. 49ers O-line is best in NFL, it will take all out effort to disrupt them.Hide replies
I am thinking Washington beats Seattle because of their defense. I wanted Seattle in Green Bay for the championship for obvious reasons.
Two obvious reasons, home field and revenge. Seattle matches up really well with Atlanta if they get by Washington. I think they can limit RGIII long balls, can they stop Morris? Wonder if they stay on East Coast if they beat Redskins? That's a tough road, especially if They have to play Falcons in early game on Sunday.
idiot there go home jets go 500 mph
i dont think the niners oline is the best huh last year their QB was sacked more than rodgers now they may be a great in the running game but please no way shape or form are they the best oline in football
agreed, driese.
niners' pass blocking allowed the highest sack percentage in the NFL this year.
i don't know what's so great about that.
their run blocking is superb. their pass blocking borders on bad.
GO PACK!!! Here is hoping for time stamps on the early morning news/blogs instead of "making" us believe that it's from the day before... Sorry just a pet-peve of mine. Go ahead and blast me...
Charles Woodson's presence tonight was huge. Even if he's not directly involved in a play, his experience and toughness are a major influence on the Packers' D. That was evident tonight.
byebye AP what a wasted year didnt get rushing record or playoff win your a loser
Webb was good practice for getting after the scrambling Kapernick.....Overall, you couldn't ask for a better "scrimmage" game than this one. As long as nobody got injured, McCarthy couldn't ask for a better way to prepare this team for the battle next weekend.
All of you no shows that were ripping Dom Capers all week need to take a hike! Us Packers fans know a great game plan when we see one! Nice job Coach Capers! GO PACK!

2010 GMC Terrain SUV SLT-1 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
We bought our 2010 Terrain new.My wife drives daily to work and in less than 3 years we already have 87,000 miles.We bought the car because we were informed that the mpg would be 31 or so.We've never gotten better than 27 and usually we're at 24-26 mpg with the 4 cylinder on eco.We've had problems with the lift gate, timing chain knocking, and at 80,000 miles we changed the tranny oil.It was black!Since then we've continued to feel it slip.Driving in the back seat is a horrific experience for people with good backs!It's too straight up and down.The AC has broken down twice in 2 years!
the front seats are nice and comfortable.
The hatch button, when it works, is handy as compared to those we know without this feature.
The dash is attractive and accessible.
The stereo is nice.
There is plentiful room.
The back seats have enough leg room(too bad the seats are too straight).
There is plenty of stowage space.
Figure out how to make the car in America with better workers and improved quality and possibly we'll be back.
Also, if you are going to advertise the car gets 31 mpg, then please get something close to that.
Have a slight lean backwards in the back seat as well as small headrests.
Long drives when someone sleeps in the back seat will lead to expensive chiropractic bills after multiple visits (or worse yet- low dose narcotic pill usage).
We have never had so many problems with a new vehicle as we have had with this one.They had to replace timing chain, a rattling noise is still very loud but they tell us there is nothing wrong, drive the car to work and back and no engine light turned on or anything just a loud knocking noes in the motor every time we pressed gas.. Little did we know that the car had no engine oil... But it still showed it had 40% oil life.Don't know where the oil is going.This is the second time it's happened to us. We have to check oil at least every 2 weeks.. This is a 2010 car. Mileage is not what it says it is..
Only thing I like is the interior and the exterior of car..
Rides and handles well. Comfortable and roomy. Easy to get in and out of. Surprisingly good performance for a small motor. Drove at interstate speeds and through mountains with 24 mpg avg. (using own calculations). Car has good Visibility.Secure feeling with all the safety features.
remote start and backup camera
rear seats should lay down flat when folded down. Door locks should be on driver's door. Should have power passenger seat.
The number one reason for buying the 4 cyl. Terrain was the 32 MPG Hwy. advertised. This could not be more wrong. We recently drove over 2400 miles which most was interstate highway and averaged only about 25 MPG. We are senior citizens and this was mostly on cruise control at less that the listed highway speed. We are very disgusted with this poor hwy. mileage and will certainly not recommend this vehicle to friends and family.We could have bought another Town and Country which is a 6 cyl. and we averaged over 25 MPG on the last one we owned prior to the Terrain.
Appearance inside and outside.
Gas mileage must be improved to make this a best seller.
I'll start out by saying my only complaint with our Terrain is the turning radius isn't that great. It doesn't always bother you but on making u turns you sometimes have to back up if the road isnt wide. Other than that we LOVE our Terrain. I read someone said it took 3 hours for onstar to get someone to them. IT probably took 3 hours for whomever was coming but be happy onstar was there. Ive had to use onstar several times and in a accident. That voice coming over automatically telling me help is on the way and I don't have to look for a cell which mine was broken. Its awesome to know my car will help me if needed. I love the comfort, the looks. I have people all the time stop me to say its nice!!
Love the bluetooth, ONSTAR, Navigation, remote start love that. I do wish we had gotten all wheel drive and just didn't think about it.
Wider turning radius!Other than that LOVE it

Officials Put Workers at Risk, Report Says
The Labor Department's Inspector General found that federal mine safety regulators may have improperly limited enforcement of mines with a history of serious safety violations.
The move may have put miners at risk, it said.
In an initial report, the Inspector General said the Mine Safety and Health Administration removed mines from increased oversight when it implemented a program, begun in 2007, intended to establish tougher oversight of mines with a "pattern of violation."
A top MSHA official set limits on how many mines could be assigned for tougher enforcement, the report said. District managers could select no more than one mine a field office and a maximum of three mines a district.
"This instruction set a limit that was inappropriate for this enforcement program," wrote Elliott P. Lewis, assistant inspector general for audit. "As a result, miners may be subjected to increased safety risks." The report said some of the mines—put on the list because they had a pattern of serious violations—were removed before mine operators demonstrated that they had addressed violations.
The review was initiated by Rep. George Miller (D., Calif.), chair of the House Education and Labor Committee, after the April explosion at Massey Energy Co.'s Upper Big Branch Mine in Montcoal, W.Va., where 29 miners were killed. The inspector general requested that MSHA respond within 10 days on what action it has taken on the issue.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said the report "reaffirms what we already knew: The pattern of violation process is badly broken." She added she is working with Congress on legislation to address the issue and has ordered MSHA to work on "regulatory and administrative fixes."
Joe Main, head of MSHA, said his agency had announced in April it would rewrite the pattern of violation system this year.
He said the agency is also conducting a review of the program "to change the way we deal with persistently problematic mines this year."
Mr. Miller said the report "raises very serious concerns," and that "MSHA obstructed a key safety enforcement tool that could have endangered the lives of mine workers."
He said that Congress would soon introduce legislation to strengthen mine safety laws, and said the report raises questions about whether MSHA district offices have enough resources to enforce the law.
According to the report, the MSHA identified 89 mines as having a "pattern of violation" between June 2007 and September 2009. The agency removed 10 mines because of the limit set by the top MSHA official. Another 11 were removed for a variety of reasons, including some that were no longer producing coal. Mr. Lewis said MSHA needed to take immediate action to reevaluate why the 10 mines were removed from stronger oversight and monitoring.
The pattern of violation program has been criticized as ineffective by lawmakers and others since the April accident.
MSHA said companies could avoid being designated for tougher enforcement by appealing violations.
In April, the Labor Department said a computer glitch kept Massey's Upper Big Branch Mine from being considered for pattern of violation status in October 2009. The agency said Massey had reduced its violation rate at the mine to the point where it would not have been subjected to tougher enforcement in any case.

[edit] Background
The Chronicles of Spellborn is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in the Enclave of the Five Sacrifices. This enclave is a collection of rock realms drifting through the DeadSpell Storm.
The DeadSpell Storm allows the world to exist in a mythical state; inhabited shards of rock float through a breathable void that boils with elder power. Nothing but a common history and ancient magic prevents the shards from falling into oblivion.
These levitating rock-realms contain mountains, forests, fields, villages and cities built on the pieces of a broken world. To travel from one realm to the other, you have to fly through a maelstrom of restless magic and brave the many dangers which the ever shifting storms hide.
[edit] Gameplay
The Chronicles of Spellborn is all about online role-playing, but the majority of those games have very long parts, which can really turn a gamer off. Spellborn International, the developer of the game, has really focused on eliminating that part of the game, keeping it action-packed wherever you go. You can play as three different characters: a rogue, warrior, or mage and you will be to customize them if you choose. The DeadSpell Storm, formed of rocks, is where you will meet tons of abnormal creatures, as well as humans.
Worried about how long it'll take to level up? It's actually pretty easy, all you have to do is complete some quests and once you have hit the sixth level, you're character will be able to branch into even more things, such as a poisoner. The combat system is very deadly, there isn't anything to lock on to. Instead, you'll have to rely on your own aim and hope that it is accurate enough in order to finish off your enemies.
In addition, because of the unique landscapes, this game has been built on the Unreal 2.5 engine. The game aims to focus on details and different shapes for the landscapes and because of that, the Unreal 2.5 engine is a very good choice.

Bainbridge Township Trustee Chairwoman Lorrie Sass Benza said the decision to put part-time Bainbridge Fire Chief Brian Phan on a two-day suspension was based on a recommendation.
ōWe had a situation where the fire chief suggested disciplinary charges against a firefighter concerning an accident involving a pumper truck or tanker truck in Russell Township,ö Benza said the afternoon of July 16 over the phone. ōWe were presented with a spreadsheet showing all of the accidents involving a fire department vehicles over the last two years Ś 2012 and 2013.ö
She said the board of trustees reviewed the range of minor to ōmore significantö damage to township-owned vehicles, most of which came as a surprise.
ōThatÆs when the board said, æWow, we didnÆt know about all of these. Why were we not informed of all of these?Æö
There were a total of 11 incidents over those two years, ōmostö of which were unreported, Benza said.
ThatÆs when the question of documentation was raised and handed over to a hearing officer in Chardon, who Benza said recommended the two-day suspension.
The hearing was heldĀJune 20Āand the officer's report was given to the trustees July 7, Benza said.
ōAs for me, if IÆm looking back and IÆm seeing a series of accidents over a two-year span Ś and again some are very minor Ś but if IÆm seeing a pattern or a repeated series of incidents that are not reported and would appear not reprimanded (I become concerned,)ö she said.
By reprimanded, she said she wouldnÆt suggest ōpunitive measuresö but said she would expect guidance for those involved to be more ōcareful out there.ö
ōThese are taxpayer dollar purchases. We all need to be accountable and careful,ö she said.
Phan was recommended for employment as a part-time firefighter/EMT for Bainbridge Township in 1987 and was appointed as chief in 1998.
According to a document in PhanÆs personnel file, he was disciplined in 2012 for ōfail(ing) to ensure that receipts were attached to every credit card purchase made and for failing to secure the credit card,ö after an employee was found to have ōstolenö $1,209.33.
Job performance reviews in PhanÆs personnel file show discrepancies between PhanÆs 4-out-of-4-point self-evaluation and the township trusteesÆ evaluation of between 2s and 3s in 2011.
ōI feel that this evaluation was skewed because it came on the heels of an attempt to oust me as Fire Chief,ö Phan wrote in an August 2012 letter to the township. ōI have been a loyal employee of Bainbridge Township continually since 1987.ö
Phan is also chief of the University Heights fire department.
An attempt to reach Phan through the Bainbridge Fire Department Wednesday afternoon was not returned as of Wednesday evening.

oDesk's weekly column brings you the latest news on labor markets, talent management, freelancing, and the future of work.
Week of 8/16/2013:
Wall Street Journal | Avoid Co-Working Spaces with 'Brogrammers'
Co-working spaces are becoming increasingly popular among people who are looking to learn a new skill or technique, exchange ideas, and think creatively, but not all of them are worth the money, explains B.J. Mendleson, author of "Social Media BS." He has worked in a number of co-working spaces across the United States throughout his career and loved it, but discovered that there are certain types of co-working spaces to avoid, like spaces full of 'brogrammers.' These are people that engage in friendly conversation hoping to get the inside scoop on the biggest investors and funding news. He also advises against choosing a co-working space filled exclusively with startups; instead, he recommends picking a place filled with professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds for more exposure to different information and ways of solving problems.
Forbes | Latest Findings On The Future of Work and What You Should Do About It
To provide businesses with information and actionable insights on how to attract and retain talent, Jacob Morgan and his team at Chess Media Group surveyed workers around the globe about hot topics like collaboration, bring your own device (BYOD) and flexible work. They received more than 600 responses, which revealed a number of important insights about the way work is now getting done. They found that more than two-thirds of respondents use collaborative technology at their current job, and that getting employees to adopt new technologies is very challenging and also important to enforce. Their results also suggest that BYOD and flexible work arrangements are becoming recruiting mainstays for attracting new hires.
Huff Post Impact | The Workplace of The Future: Connected, Collaborative, Creative
Technological advancements and new ways of working are blurring the line between life and work, and this is a good thing, explains Dave Evans. Collaboration tools like smart phones and video conferencing have made it easier to connect and communicate with colleagues from afar, allowing an increasing number of workers to leverage flexible work schedules. The ability to choose when and where you work not only makes it easier to achieve work-life balance, but may also increase creativity. Citing a 16-year Idea Champion study, Dave mentions that 97% of people typically come up with their best ideas when they're not in the office.
The New York Times Magazine | The Opt-Out Generation Wants Back In
Looking to determine whether or not women can be the mothers they want to be and also have meaningful careers, Judith Warner interviewed 22 women from the "Opt-Out Generation." This term refers to women who chose to leave well-paying jobs in the 90s to devote themselves to their families. Twenty years later, the majority have have gone back to work and taken exciting jobs that offer flexible schedules, albeit for less pay than they earned before leaving the workforce. Their reflections reveal that many educated, ambitious women want the ability to spend time with their children and have a flexible, interesting job.
Fast Company | How To Create Meaningful Work Relationships While Working From Home
For the growing number of professionals working from home, psychologist Kerry Schofield explains why virtual relationships occur less organically than in-person ones and offers advice on how to build strong relationships with teammates when working remotely. She explains that online relationships require considerably more effort to develop and nurture, adding that humor can help grow connections with teammates when connecting via the Internet. Given the growing number of collaborative tools available, she suggests using video tools like Skype and Google Hangout because they best simulate in-person meetings and interactions. As the workforce is becoming increasingly distributed with people working collaboratively from all over the globe, Kerry recognizes there will be growing pains and reminds us that virtual relationships require a little extra TLC and patience.

I have a hard drive that broke down. It's a Western Digital My Book 500 GB Hard drive. The data doesn't seem damaged but the head doesn't seem to catch on the drive so it won't start up. I need to know what my options are for repairing it. Data seems safe. Not retrieval problem then, just drive not starting up.
Some western digital mybook chassies have a problem with the power button getting stuck. If you have used the power button to turn the drive off and on this could be the problem for you as well. The symptoms of a stuck power button are just like you describe, the drive spins up then shuts down with a click and restarts.
On my mybook I need to "tap" the power button or the plastic near it a few times to get the button to release.
Note that the actual button doesn't seem to be stuck when looking at it, it's something beneath the actual button that gets stuck.
I would suggest taking the case apart and attaching the drive to a separate pc. Run a diagnostic on the drive with ontrack or western digital diagnostic tool and make sure there's no i/o errors on the drive. It could be the case that has malfunctioned.
Check the boot sequence and the master/slave config.
I've seen these external drives fail when the USB power source is too weak.
The power requirements can increase with age, so if this is your problem, be ready to replace it soon.

Record attempt reaps 217K texts, $26K phone bill
Published: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 7:58 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 7:58 a.m.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) Their thumbs sure must be sore.
Two central Pennsylvania friends spent most of March in a text-messaging record attempt, exchanging a thumbs-flying total of 217,000.
For one of the two, that meant an inches-thick itemized bill for $26,000.
Nick Andes, 29, and Doug Klinger, 30, were relying on their unlimited text messaging plans to get them through the escapade, so Andes didn't expect such a big bill.
"It came in a box that cost $27.55 to send to me," he said Tuesday. He said he "panicked" and called T-Mobile, which told The Associated Press it had credited his account and was investigating the charges.
The two Lancaster-area residents have been practically nonstop texters for about a decade since they attended Berks Technical Institute together.
That led Andes to search for the largest monthly text message total he could find posted online: 182,000 sent in 2005 by Deepak Sharma in India.
Andes and Klinger were able to set up their phones to send multiple messages. During a February test run they found they could send 6,000 or 7,000 messages on some days, prompting the March messaging marathon.
"Most were either short phrases or one word, 'LOL' or 'Hello,' things like that, with tons and tons of repeats," said Andes, reached by phone.
Andes sent more than 140,000 messages, and Klinger sent more than 70,000 to end the month with a total of just over 217,000, he said.
A spokesman for Guinness World Records didn't immediately return messages asking whether it would be certified as a record.
April came as a relief to Andes' wife, Julie, who had found his phone tied up with texting when she tried to call him on lunch breaks.
"She was tired of it the first few days into it," Andes said.

FALL RIVER — State police responded to a two-car accident on the Braga Bridge on Sunday evening that backed up traffic for several miles on westbound Interstate 195.
The crash occurred at 5:40 p.m. when a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle, driven by a 22-year-old New Bedford woman, collided with a 2007 Volvo driven by a 27-year-old Maine man, Massachusetts State Police Trooper Dustin Fitch said.
Fitch said the incident was classified as a personal injury crash, indicating one of the victims suffered injury, but Fitch said he had no further information Sunday night. Fitch said the Volkswagen Beetle was towed from the scene.
Traffic was backed up as far as the Route 24 South exit on Interstate 195 westbound while officials worked at the crash site. Fitch said personnel cleared the scene at 6:20 p.m.
