I'm _supposed_ to be a Maven. That's what computer geeks do - they geek. They grok. They learn something inside out. Strangely, though, I have the feeling that this isn't quite my thing, that this isn't quite what I'm meant to do. I guess it relates to my teaching philosophy. I'm not the expert! <laugh> I don't know everything, and I'm much happier helping people learn than trying to teach them everything they need to know. Besides, hanging out with people far more brilliant than I am makes me feel decidedly un-Maven-ish. =)
You know what I have _tons_ of fun doing? Connecting people with other people. I really, really want to help people make things happen, and if I can connect them with other people with similar or complementary passions, that would be totally awesome! I also _really_ have a lot of fun listening to people. I sell, sell, sell - not stuff, but ideas, passion, confidence... I sell people themselves. I sell dreams of what they can do. I _love_ doing that! (And to think I used to be an INTJ...)
So I need your help figuring out what I'm going to do with my life. =) Software developer? I can do that, but there's just so much else I _also_ want to do. I'd love it if you could help me imagine what my future can be so that I can prepare for it better. =D It's not exactly the kind of thing you'd find in, say, What Color is Your Parachute...

OAKLAND -- Police are asking the public for help in locating an Oakland woman who disappeared from her home over the weekend.
Sandra Coke, age 50, was last seen on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. at her home on the 600 block of Aileen Street by her family, said police spokeswoman Johnna Watson.
When she left she was reported to be in good mental and physical condition and has no history of being reported missing, Watson said.
Coke is described as a black woman, 5 foot 6, 150 pounds with a medium complexion, brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a black and white shirt and dark jeans and is known to drive a 2007 Mini Cooper convertible with a black top and off-white body. Her California license plate number is 6BDV708.
Anyone with information about Coke's disappearance is asked to call police 510- 238-3641; Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8672 or the TIP LINE at 777-2805. Tips can also be texted to 888777.

Lightening strikes a home in Gretna, tearing apart a family and causing serious damage. Investigators spent most of Sunday mopping up the scene looking for answers.
Diplomas still decorate the wall, symbols of what's left, after tragedy struck the Erwin family early Sunday morning.
"When we got here the house already engulfed with smoke," said SGT. Ronnie Williams of the Gretna Police Department.
The fire happened around 1:50 a.m., when thunderstorms rocked through the streets of Gretna, in Gadsden County.
"I heard a loud boom," said Michael Fluker, a neighbor, "lightening had hit."
Police say it hit near the fuse box in Erwin's mobile home on Martin Luther King Boulevard. Mr. Erwin and his 38-year-old son escaped the smoke and ran outside. But, the other two adult sons never made it out, despite their father's attempts to break through the walls with an ax.
"From outside it doesn't look that bad, inside is where some was thick enough for them to have trouble breathing," said Gretna Police Chief, Pepe Forbes.
Investigator's say Erwin's three sons were mentally disabled and Erwin was in a state of panic.
Police believe these three factors combined with Mother Nature's wrath created a very unfortunate tragedy in Gretna, and left a family torn apart.

Neighbor accused of killing 2 pet cats
Tuscaloosa County woman charged with animal cruelty
Published: Friday, August 9, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 9, 2013 at 12:25 a.m.
A Tuscaloosa County woman has been accused of killing her neighbor's two pet cats.
Amy Fondren said that her neighbor intentionally locked cats Sipsey and Brave in a cat carrier and left them to die in a hot vehicle on the afternoon of Aug. 2.
"It just breaks my heart to know that they suffered like that," she said. "It kills me to know how they died."
Tuscaloosa County sheriff's deputies charged Tina Ingram, 42, with cruelty to animals on Wednesday. She spent Wednesday night in jail before she was released on $300 bond.
Ingram was charged with writing a bad check earlier this week. The man who answered the phone number listed in that court file said it was the wrong number.
Fondren said Ingram's daughter had broken into her home Aug. 1. The families live side-by-side at Sipsey Valley Townhomes in Buhl.
Fondren said she called sheriff's deputies to make a report but didn't press charges. The daughter returned an iPad that she had taken, Fondren said.
"She was mad because I had called the sheriff's department," she said.
Fondren last saw the cats on the afternoon of Aug. 2 when she left to buy school supplies for her children. She grew increasingly upset as the weekend passed and the cats didn't show up.
She said Ingram's daughter's fiance told her on Sunday what had happened to the cats and where Ingram had dumped the bodies.
Fondren's sister found Brave's body in the location he described, about three miles away on Gainesville Road.
"She called and said that she wanted to replace the cats. She said she would give us two of her ferrets. I told her there was no way she could replace them. Those were our family pets," she said.
Fondren talked with Sheriff's Office investigators who helped her obtain a warrant, which was issued by the Tuscaloosa District warrant clerk, against Ingram, said Lt. Andy Norris, a Sheriff's Office spokesman. Deputies served the warrant Wednesday afternoon.
Cruelty to animals is a class B misdemeanor, defined by state law as animal mistreatment, neglect or killing or injuring someone else's animal.
People convicted of animal cruelty can be fined up to $3,000 and jailed for up to six months.
Sipsey, a female striped gray tabby, and Brave, a male orange tabby, were part of the same litter born two years ago. Sipsey was named for the nearby river, Brave for the Disney movie featuring an
orange-haired heroine.
Fondren said she and her daughters, 3 and 6, have been upset for several days while her sons, 17 and 15, have been more angry. She's had trouble sleeping, and said she relives the weekend in her mind.
"To know that I could have saved them," she said. "I never would have thought that they were right there in the Jeep."
The high temperature
Aug. 2 reached 92 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Fondren hopes that investigators decide to upgrade the charge to a felony. The family was planning to move at the end of September, she said, but have changed their plans and will move sooner.
"I seriously don't think I'll ever be able to get over this," she said.

ATHERTON -- Shut down for three quarters, Sacred Heart Prep finally got its running game going in the fourth.
And that was enough for the No. 6 Gators to come from behind and pull out a hard-fought 15-12 victory over host Menlo-Atherton in a Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division game Friday night.
No. 8 Menlo-Atherton (4-2, 1-1) led 12-0 at halftime and maintained that margin through the third quarter. The Bears run defense was so effective that Sacred Heart Prep turned almost completely to the air in the third quarter when quarterback Mason Randall attempted 20 passes.
But Sacred Heart Prep got its hard-charging power running game going in the fourth quarter, and momentum turned its way.
Ricky Grau scored on a 2-yard run with 8:39 left to break up the shutout. Then the Gators recovered a fumble at their own 45.
They moved 56 yards in 14 plays, capping the drive with Ben Burr-Kirven's 4-yard touchdown run with 1:01 left for the Gators' first lead. Randall passed to Mitch Martelli for a two-point conversion.
"Beginning in the second quarter we decided to spread it out and throw,'' Sacred Heart Prep coach Pete Lavorato said. "We didn't score, but we moved the ball and tired them out, making them cover the whole field. Then in the fourth quarter we went back to our double tight ends and ran the ball.''
Menlo-Atherton had time for one desperation drive. Brian Keare connected with Spiro Papadakis on a 28-yard pass, then Keare ran for 7 yards, calling a timeout with three seconds left and the ball on the Gators' 22. Keare's 39-yard field-goal attempt, which would have made the score 15-15, was straight but just short.
Two other things happened to turn the game Sacred Heart Prep's way.
Menlo-Atherton dominated the first half, running 40 offensive plays to 17 for Sacred Heart Prep and outgaining the Gators 241 yards to 49.
"They did a great job of calling plays,'' Lavorato said. "They threw when we thought they'd run and they ran when we thought they'd pass.''
Isiah Nash was the focal point of Menlo-Atherton's offense in the first half, carrying 19 times for 89 yards and scoring on a 4-yard run. He gained 11 yards on his first carry of the second half, bringing him to 100 for the game.
But that would be Nash's final carry. He took a big hit on a pass play, had to leave the game and did not return.
The other factor was Menlo-Atherton drawing 12 penalties for 99 yards. Sacred Heart Prep, always a disciplined outfit, took advantage.
The Bears took the opening kickoff and drove to the Sacred Heart Prep 1-yard line where a fourth-down play was stuffed for no gain. But on Sacred Heart Prep's first play, the ball carrier was tackled behind the goal line for a safety.
Menlo-Atherton then went on a 12-play drive, this time with Nash scoring on a 4-yard run. The Bears led 9-0 and had run 24 plays to one for the Gators at that point.
The rest of the half followed a similar pattern as Menlo-Atherton practiced ball control against a team known for its own ball-control offense.
Sacred Heart Prep 0 0 0 15 -- 15
Menlo-Atherton 9 3 0 0 -- 12
MA -- Safety
MA -- Nash 4 run (Keare kick)
MA -- Keare 22 FG
SHP -- Grau 2 run (Tinsley kick)
SHP -- Burr-Kirven 4 run (Martelli pass from Randall)
Records: Sacred Heart Prep 6-0, 1-0; Menlo-Atherton 4-2, 0-1.

Late Old English ynce, from Latin uncia 'twelfth part', from unus 'one' (probably denoting a unit). Compare with ounce1.
The inch and the ounce have the same ultimate origin, both going back to Latin uncia 'twelfth part'. The observation give someone an inch and they will take a mile dates from the mid 16th century. Originally people often took an ell rather than a mile (an ell is an old measure equal to just over a metre, used especially for cloth). The inch in the name of some Scottish islands, such as Inchcolm, is a completely different word, deriving from Scottish Gaelic innis 'island, land by a river'.

An Irresistible Feminine Touch
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 10:49:16 AM in Chanel (26)
Horology is a man's world – for the most part. But this does not keep excellent female-oriented brands such as Chanel from making their contributions to this predominantly male-driven industry. The Chanel J12 is the famous fashion brand's take on haute horlogerie. The timepiece was designed as a sports-chick device that nevertheless look charming and elegant with formal wear, a duality that role-joggling women could never seem to get over. Chanel achieved this perfectly with a dainty case and bracelet made of ceramic that glimmer with high polish in black, white or bluish gray hues. Feminine and sophisticated, the watch runs on Swiss Made automatic caliber featuring a 42-hour power reserve. In totality, the J12 is a comfortable and functional device that deserves a place in the male-dominated watch market and a fashionable companion for the modern woman.

Aiken NAACP president David Walker has filed formal complaints against the Aiken County School Board with the Federal Office of Civil Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
He's upset that recently three assistant superintendent positions were appointed to white educators.
"Over the years black people have never gotten anything by request. It's always been by demand," Walker says.
Walker says demanding change is the best way to bring more diversity into the school district.
He says superintendent Linda Eldridge and school board chair John Bradley are not hiring enough black administrators, noting the recent appointments of three white educators to assistant superintendent positions.
"It seems in past practices that the 'most qualified people' have always been white," he says.
But the school district disagrees.
School board member Jack Hunter points out superintendent Eldridge does hire black administration--including Frank Roberson and Marion Gary.
"I think diversity is something we should strive for and we do, but I think primarily we have to put the most qualified person, either a black person or a white person," Hunter says.
Walker doesn't like that reason.
"If they don't have people in the system to move up, then they need to start grooming people to move up," he says.
But Walker admits he brought his concerns to the media first: "We have not talked directly to them about this."
He has yet to sit down with Superintendent Eldridge or Chairman Bradley.
Tonight, Walker and others from Aiken's NAACP will make their demands to the school board.
Hunter says he's happy to listen.
"We try hard, and I think by and large we make the right decisions," he says.
David Walker didn't want to go over his demands before tonight's meeting, but did say they would include things like a diversity program.
He also says he hopes this doesn't come to a lawsuit, but hasn't ruled that out.

Arizona Completes a One-Megawatt Solar Trough Plant
Arizona Public Service Company (APS) commemorated Arizona's first solar trough power plant on Earth Day, April 22nd. The one-megawatt plant features more than 100,000 square feet of trough-shaped mirrors, and is the first solar trough plant built in the United States in 17 years. Located between Phoenix and Tucson, the plant consists of six rows of mirrors, each more than 1,200 feet long. The mirrors concentrate the sun's energy to heat oil, which is then used to vaporize an organic fluid. The vapor spins a turbine to drive a generator, producing power, and the vapor is then condensed and reused.
Although existing solar trough systems boil water rather than an organic fluid, the organic fluid vaporizes at a lower temperature than water, allowing the plant to produce more power at lower temperature. Such organic-fluid power conversion systems are typically employed in geothermal and biomass power plants. The APS system also allows for hot oil storage, which will help the plant match its power output to the utility's needs. Solargenix Energy LLC provided the solar troughs for the APS plant, while Ormat International designed and installed the power conversion system.
The APS plant is the vanguard for a resurgence of solar trough plants in the United States. Solargenix is currently building a 64-megawatt plant in Boulder City, Nevada, that will be the largest solar trough plant in the world when it is completed next year, while other large solar trough plants have been proposed in California. See the APS press release.

The National Park Service has released some security footage from last month's DC earthquake, and it is absolutely terrifying. The scene goes from laid-back texting park ranger to full-on panic in about five seconds flat.
The Washington Monument was cracked by the 5.8 magnitude quake., and the Washington Post now reports the elevator was also damaged. So what do you think, snooty, Earthquake-jaded Californians? Does this count as a "real earthquake" now?

CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES, FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol 2 — No. 2 Dec, 1957 2nd Largest Christmas Tree Harvest The second largest harvest of Christmas trees on the Flathead Reservation drew to a close on the 20th of December, 1957. Final tabulation of stumpage has not been completed but $45,912.99 has been processed to date. This amount is for 92,000 bales of Christmas trees from Tribal and Allotted lands. Last year's harvest, the largest to date was $53,000 for 115,000 bales of trees. There has been no opportunity to analyze this harvest, but several factors show up quite prominently. (1) Is that Christmas trees were much harder to locate this year. The greatest part of the trees were produced by fewer cutters. Those cutters who had equipment to get back into hard to reach areas had a successful season. Those cutters who were not adverse to getting off the main roads and not adverse to hauling their trees for a ways, made out fairly well during the season. (2) As the season progressed the cutting became destructive. Evidence in the woods indicates that the cutting during the first part of the season was fairly good, but later in the season it became rapidly worse with the result that very Inter-Tribal Policy Board Meets Meeting of the Inter Tribal Policy Board of Montana. This Board is comprised of 7 Reservations and the landless Indians, and organized under the administration of Governor John Bonner. The work of the Board is to work between the State, Federal and Tribal level. On Dec. 18, Rep. Lee Metcalf and LeRoy Anderson met with the Board on pending Indian legislation. In respect to the Paradise Dam Rep. Metcalf stated this is an enormous job to satisfy all people and Congress and certainly this is essential before anything is done. On Dec. 19, Governor Aronson met with the Board. An election was held and all the old officers were retained with the exception of Ed. Whiteman chairman of the Crow Tribe who resigned as first vice pres. The present Board is Walter W. McDonald, Pres. Walter Witzel of Blackfeet 1st vice pres, George Kipp Blackfeet 2nd vice pres. Freda Blazley Siuox, Ft. Peck sec, Steve Demers, Flat-h e a d, treas. About 30 delegates were present both days. Another meeting will be called late in Jan. in Missoula. The university students and faculty that are interested will be present in order that more information may be given out to the public on the Indian problem. The Indian must be educated and also the non Indian. destructive cutting was done in several areas in late November and early December. Little if any cutting was done in areas pruned by the Tribe last Spring — until late in November when almost every pruned tree was cut. (3) A significant change is taking place in the type of Buyers on the Reservation. Many of the big Christmas Tree Companies are still with us. But in nearly all cases their needs this year were considerably below that of last year. Many more trees were sold to trucker's this year than ever before. These small buyers are much harder to supervise than the larger units. (4) The weather has a large bearing on the production here on the Reservation. Twice during the season snow storm and rain caused a cessation of harvesting. As soon as the weather cleared up the harvest began again. Fortunately this year the weather was relatively mild throughout the season. A fully detailed report of the harvest and what it means to the members of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes will be published in this paper the near future. The Spirit Of Christmas The Spirit of Christmas was widespread on the Reservation this year, extending beyond the confines of the homes to organizations and institutions. As they have done other years, the members of the St. Ignatius Business and Professional Women's Club gave gifts to the children at the Ursuline Convent instead of having a personal exchange of gifts. Our Indian children comprise the largest percentage of the students at the Ursulines. The Catholic Women's Guild had a shower of food stuffs from its members. These were packed into a number of Christmas boxes which were distributed by the Bureau welfare department at the request of the guild. Staff members of the Bureau and the Tribe who work together at the agency had a Christmas party at which toys were exchanged as gifts. To the adults, there was a humorous an "kidding" side. But for the convalescents in the child-rens wards at the hospitals on the Reservation, there was provided joy and amusement for some time to come. The gifts were distributed after the party to the hospitals at Hot Springs, Poison, Ro-nan, and St. Ignatius. The October issue of the Char-Koosta carried the story of The Last Chief, com-merating the late Paul Charlo of the Flatheads. This picture is also of the last chief, Chief Mathias of the Kootenais This was taken at the wedding ceremony of Kathy Mathias and Wayne Hamel. Kathy is the granddaughter of Chief Mathias. Unquestionably the picture speaks for itself, that the Chief is happy and proud to have been able to march down the church aisle with his granddaughter in the old Catholic Church at St. Ignatius, where the foundation for the faith of many of us started. Never in the history of this church has a similar event ever taken place, where an Indian chief took part in a modern day ceremony. Since Chief Mathias is the last chief of the Kootenais and the Flatheads do not have a chief, this incident will probably never happen again. Father Brown, S. J., a member of the Blackfeet tribe, officiated at the ceremony. In that respect, this was an all Indian ceremony. This photo was taken by Reverend Larsen of the Christian church at St. Ignatius. Trust Land Sold Fifty-four tracts containing 3,315.33 acres of trust Indian land advertised for sale to the general public, 1,291.63 acres receieved bids which were equal to or above the appraied value. The bids were opened November 25, 1957, at 2:00 p.m. A total of 52 bids were received of which 21 were high bids at or above appraisal. The total price of the high bids amounted to $69,745.80. A total of 1,219.13 acres of non-irrigable land and 2,096.20 acres of irrigated and secretarial water right lands were advertised; 501.63 acres of non-irrigable land sold at an average of $31.26 per acre. The 790.00 acres of irrigated and water right land brought an average of $68.43 per acre. The land owners of land on which no successful bids were received will be notified and requested to indicate if they wish their lands to be re-advertised.

Flash flood watch out for NC mountains, foothills
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:55 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:55 a.m.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for much of the North Carolina mountains and foothills as officials worry another day of rain could cause major problems.
Thursday's watch is from Charlotte to Salisbury westward. Forecasters say a cold front will enhance the heavy rain. With the ground already soggy, just an inch of rain in a short time could cause serious flooding.
A number of mudslides and washed out roads have already been reported in the mountains, but transportation officials say no major highways have been affected,
The weather service says Asheville has seen more than 47 inches of rain so far this year, which is 10 inches above the wettest year to date on record. Charlotte has had 29.12 inches of rain, 7 inches above normal.

DETROIT -- As his last act of 2012, Buster Posey exploded out of his catcher's crouch, sprinted to the mound and hoisted 185-pound reliever Sergio Romo over his shoulder.
Apparently, Posey's ankle is going to be OK.
After nothing but pain and frustration a year ago, Posey capped his comeback in the dreamiest way possible. The National League MVP candidate crushed a two-run home run during the Giants' 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 4, then celebrated in a clubhouse where it looked as if Hurricane Sandy was blowing champagne.
Posey is a World Series champion. Again.
The only regular position player back from the 2010 team now has two titles in his first three years. That puts him on a pace that looks positively Jeter-ian, even if Posey laughed at the thought.
"I have no idea what Derek Jeter feels like," he said. "I think he's won a few more."
Jeter has won five titles. But the early parallels are there, at least in pencil. Jeter, the New York Yankees shortstop, won the Rookie of the Year award and a World Series in his first season, just as Posey did.
After missing out his sophomore season, Jeter got a second ring in his third full season -- just as Posey has.
And while the 25-year-old catcher was in no rush Sunday night to invite personal comparisons, he welcomed the idea that the Giants could launch their own team-wide dynasty.
"It's definitely a possibility," Posey said. "I know we're going to enjoy this one but, yeah, we have a great group of young core guys.
"I don't think we're off the radar anymore. I think (winning again) is a challenge we're all looking forward to."
Posey, at last, even found a way to contribute with the bat in this World Series. The Giants' cleanup hitter had been uncharacteristically quiet in the postseason aside from his memorable grand slam in the decisive Game 5 of the NLDS against the Cincinnati Reds.
Entering play Sunday night, Posey had been 11 for 56 (.196) with two homers in the postseason. He nearly vanished in the NLCS, when he was 4 for 26 (.154) with no extra-base hits against the St. Louis Cardinals.
But on Saturday, manager Bruce Bochy said: "Your great players for the most part, seem to play better when the club needs them."
And in the sixth inning Sunday, as if on cue, Posey hooked a high-arching, two-run home run into the left-field seats to give the Giants a 3-2 lead.
It was the kind of moment that Posey -- the savvy World Series veteran -- has learned to better understand.
"After you get that first (title), you want to go through the whole experience again. You want to feel those pressure situations. You want to feel the excitement when you come out on top," he said. "Nothing drives you harder to come out on top."
It was a moment Posey could relish even more considering what happened in May 2011, when a devastating home-plate collision ended his season after just 45 games. He was placed on the disabled list May 26 with a fractured bone in his lower-left leg.
That's why Sunday night, under a cold and drizzling October sky, Posey bounced up on those happy, healed feet and began hugging anyone in sight.
"To get two in three years? It's unbelievable," the catcher said. "I think this time around, I can appreciate it even more. I understand the difficulty of doing it."

Hi folks,
I'm not quite sure where to start, but i'll do my best to describe the problem and my findings so far.
I've been using PS3 Media Server for music and ordinary videos without any probs so far. I've been trying to do something else today - watch videos WITH subtitles.
They did not show up no matter which options i've used, so i started digging a bit into the debug.log trying to identify the problem. After consulting mencoder/mplayer manual i was lucky to found the guilty: -subdelay 20000. Believe it or not, PMS is telling mencoder to delay subtitles by five and a half hours!
I'm sure it's this one, because running mplayer from the shell with and without this option confirmed it. So... there's no way to override it in mencoder system-wide nor user config. I've tried adding "-subdelay 0" in "Transcoding settings" / "Custom options", but as it turns PMS adds these somewhere in the middle of mencoder arguments, so it gets overriden by 20000 seconds delay later in the arguments list.
The last thing i was trying to do, was to write shell wrapper around mencoder and put it in Resources/Java/osx, moving the original to a different name and calling it from the wrapper. Still no luck, thanks to the shell stdin/stdout handling.
PMS doesn't come with a source code, so i gave up at this point.
Sadly, i'm gonna have to spend this evening doing something other than watching subtitled videos
Could you possibly:
- look into the strange subtitle delay argument thingy
- add a custom mencoder options to the GUI that would be inserted at the end of mencoder's argument list
Thanks in advance,
P.S. Same behaviour noticed in 1.10.5 and the latest beta build.

Now let's never have a happy birthday thread again. It's not that I don't like Sysiyo or Wraith2 (I do, I was actually the first one who wished W a happy birthday), it's just that they (the birthday threads, not the posters) seem kind of meaningless to me, like a waste of space. A lot of them also feel forced. It's like, to not wish someone a happy birthday is to declare war on that someone. And you don't wanna go to war, so, instead, you put on a fake smile and say the words. Also, half of all the people wishing someone a happy birthday probably haven't even talked to the guy before. And what do you do when your board enemy has a birthday thread and everybody's wishing him a happy birthday but you? And please don't think I'm just a jealous guy who's pissed because he didn't get a birthday thread dedicated to him, because I did get my birthday thread and I was very flattered. If I remember correctly, it was started by the lovely beatled. Hi, beatled! We're the hardest working band around, I don't care if we're the best. -Iggy, 1974.
Agreed.I oppose birthday threads and when I got one a year or two ago, I read several wishes and thought, "Why did *that* turnip acknowledge my light in the darkness of the world??? Fuggin' moths!" I admit the happiest feelings when Rose wished me happy birthday. But I'm willing to forego the potential future highs for the sanctity of a Coffee Shop full of assrape and wraith2's reiteration of Greenpeace propaganda. *That's* good stuff. My birthday is next week. Forget about it, will you?Eraserhead: Wussiest Iggy Pop fan....EVER!
lighten up, will you two?I can't see the problem in wishing well someone you like very much in the place where you got to know them at...it's a friendly gesture, an internet hug...it depresses me that you two are such grumpies that you spit in the face of those who want to make you feel special for a tiny portion of the day...geez I feel sad.Consider it equal to ripping up a birthday card in the face of the person who just handed it to you because you feel like birthday cards are a waste of paper and money.Wait til you get home to throw it away if you cant appreciate the gesture.<---And in this case, that smiley is not a silly teasing smiley.he was bi-polaravant gardehigh rollersavant tard
You make it sound like I'm pure evil. Weren't you around when I blessed the board with my Mimi pictures? I'm a sweetheart! Anyway, my main problem with the birthday threads is that they often feel forced. Also, every birthday thread tends to turn into a contest of who can deliver the funniest birthday wish, which makes the whole thing even more forced. Another thing to consider here is those who don't get happy birthday threads dedicated to them. Feel their pain, anisette! This is the Jesus in me talking, and I think it's a good point. I really don't think what I said is equal to ripping up a birthday card in the face of the person who just handed it to me. I did say I was very flattered and that beatled was (is) very lovely and I think I thanked all the people who wished me a happy birthday from the bottom of my heart. I just think that, now that I've had my birthday thread, we should stop. But there's no need for me to try to convince you anisette. This has been settled already. Mr. TW has expressed his point of view on this issue, so it's just a matter of time before all the birthday threads are locked and a warning sign is put up under IMPORTANT: saying birthday thread starters will be banned. We're the hardest working band around, I don't care if we're the best. -Iggy, 1974.
Anyway, my main problem with the birthday threads is that they often feel forcedAlso, every birthday thread tends to turn into a contest of who can deliver the funniest birthday wish, which makes the whole thing even more forced.-----------------------------------------------You said this. This is your opinion. Meaning you feel forced. I don't know how many others you may think you speak for when you say this, but I, for one, never feel forced to give someone a happy birthday greeting in public, and even less so on the internet. If you are the one feeling forced, perhaps YOU should avoid birthday threads altogether, instead of the whole of teenagewildlife.com who may feel utterly differently. So far you and p2c are the only people that have problems with it.-----------------------------------------------Another thing to consider here is those who don't get happy birthday threads dedicated to them. Feel their pain, annisette!-----------------------------------------------Now now, I also disagree with that point. I don't know anyone that has been utterly disappointed that they had no birthday thread. These blessed threads only go to the most popular of posters, and popularity is definately not something everyone can acheive. Popularity is also a relative term I might add, to somewhat contradict myself.I have never in my existance at TW gotten a birthday thread dedicated to me.. This may be because TW always malfunctions and never puts the day of my birthday down on the mainpage, but hey - maybe not. And I am okay with this. So again, maybe this is just you.Lastly, I just want to say that this was by no means an attack on your person, I just wanted to lay down my points as well,. -- startrashtwin
Edited by StarGazer73 on 05/02/03 09:00 PM (server time).
i have to say i agree with anisette. even though i've never received one, i'm glad that other people do, because its a nice gesture. I'm invisible and dumb, no-one will recall me
I don't mind the happy birthday threads. Let the people have their fun, I guess.Andr�e-AnneThis ain't rock'n'roll... This is genocide!
If you really want to wish someone a happy birthday why not use the perfectly good function called Private Message. I would feel a personal message was much more heart felt than a quick reply to a thread.Or why not send some one an e-card instead - if they really are your friend surely that's worth the effortor, stop me if I'm going to radical, but if you really know them and they are worth wishing happy birthday, why not post a card to them?If creating happy birthday threads are 'internet hugs' etc why doesn't everyone get a happy birthday thread dedicted to them?They are elitist - full stop - only certain posters revieve them - what is 'friendly' and 'loving' about that?(and yes I have never had one - but I wouldn't, I would rather get birthday greetings from my family and true friends than strangers who I have never met and don't know very well. You are not my friends - I mean how can I compare you to my real friends?) I'm invisible and dumb,no-one will recall me
In reply to:You are not my friends - I mean how can I compare you to my real friends?
You are not my friends - I mean how can I compare you to my real friends?
Though we have never talked, nigelp, I consider you one of my best friends and wish you a very happy birthday, even though today is not it.Wanna come inside and meet the missus?
Oh yeah!? Well you seemed appreciative at the time! Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake twice! BASICALLY FRIGHTENED

Sequential is an image viewer for Mac OS X. It was originally designed for opening a folder of images and displaying them in order. It works well for viewing comics and manga.
Sequential can display folders and archives (ZIP, RAR, CBZ and CBR) of images (including JPEG, PNG, and GIF) and PDF files. It is able to load images on the internet from a page or image URL.
Sequential has mature full screen support and can display images' Exif data.
Required OS: 10.5
Tags: image , comic , manga , photo , viewer , cbr , exif , slideshow
13 Opinions
Useful to open some PDF documents in full screen automatically.
(I use it to quickly view a map, launched by Quicksilver.)
This is just what I needed.
great for reading manga
image quality is also better than with quick look
This is a great app! I just downloaded a bunch of issues files of a comic I love, as JPEG files, 1 per page, and this app makes it easy to read each issue. It has some great keyboard shortcuts, and it's nice and customizable.
fcalefato: If you're on 10.3.9, it's due to a known issue with Apple. That's why 2.0.2 unfortunately has to drop Panther support. Sorry.
It has stopped to work since the rel of ver 2.0. Ver 2.0.1 doesnt work either for me. I lost one of my favorite app :S
Does Quick Look let you view files in RAR and ZIP archives?
In response to "rrwright": while I appreciate your Quick Look tip, I don't think you're sporting the appropriate attitude. I had no idea about this particular Quick Look feature, so thanks for the heads up; yes, I came digging around for a fullscreen slideshow app, and yes, this feature kept me from downloading Sequential. But not everyone has upgraded to Leopard. This includes a lot of my friends who are students, as well as several others who are either comfortable with Tiger or waiting for another 'dot release'. My only point is that, for some people, Sequential is still a great program and very much needed. "It sucks to be obsoleted by Leopard" looks a bit juvenile, not to mention makes a big assumption that everyone has upgraded. Somebody wrote code, donated it to the open source community, and filled a need: respect that. And since I believe you do, consider ensuring your comments reflect that. If I'd developed this app, I might be a little bit taken aback, and I might quit writing apps altogether if I'm just going to be "obsoleted".
Now that would be something that "sucks".
this is an awesome app, exactly what i was looking for. i just wanted to look at my images without having to make a keynote slideshow or open up iphoto and this is perfect.

Iran, Iraq to Finalize Gas Export Deal Soon
From Tehran Times
Tehran and Baghdad are set to finalize a deal on gas exports from the Islamic Republic to Iraq in the near future, Iran's Deputy Oil Minister Javad Oaji says.
Oaji, who is also the managing director of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), said on Tuesday that Iran would begin exporting natural gas to Iraq in 2013.
"Once the aforementioned contract between the two countries is finalized, Iran will export 20 to 25 million cubic meters of gas per day to Iraq in the scheduled time frame," he noted.
Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi said in July that the Islamic Republic is expected to start exporting natural gas to Iraq by March 2013 upon the completion of the Iran-Iraq gas pipeline project.
Iran's South Pars, which is part of a larger gas field shared with Qatar, is divided into 24 phases and holds about 14 trillion cubic meters of gas, or about eight percent of the total world reserves, and more than 18 billion barrels of liquefied natural gas resources.

Emiel Cleaver: Freedom Is Now
All Library locations will be closed on Monday, September 5, for Labor Day.
Friday, February 24, 2012
6:30pm @ Plaza Branch
Area filmmaker Emiel Cleaver debuts his documentary film Freedom Is Now about Freedom, Inc., Kansas City's pioneering African-American political organization.
Not only did Freedom, Inc. give many blacks their first taste of politics, for decades it tirelessly fought for self determination for African Americans frustrated with racism and political irrelevancy.

PhRMA Foundation
Looking for Research Opportunities That Will Benefit Patients? Read on.
08.27.13 | By
The PhRMA Foundation is seeking applications for its Young Investigator Center for Adherence Improvement Award. The award will provide stipend support for individuals who are doing research that will advance and improve medication adherence. Three different types of awards will be granted: pre-doctoral, post-doctoral, and research starter. This year the deadline for applications is October 1st.
Not only does medication adherence play a central role in helping keep patients healthy, it also contributes to the financial stability of the U.S. economy. Close to 75 percent of adults do not take their medicines as prescribed by their physicians, and it has been shown that medication non-adherence can lead to an economic burden of $100 billion to $300 billion a year. The opportunity to improve health outcomes and help to control costs to the healthcare system suggest a need for more research to be done in this area.
For more information about the program, check out this brochure. If you're looking for further research opportunities, please visit phrmafoundation.org.

EAST VAIL - Name the cliche - one point at a time or one match at a time. But Vail Mountain School volleyball is getting close to the holy grail - the 2A state tournament.
"That has been the goal for the four seniors on our team since the sixth grade," Gore Rangers senior and libero Ellen Edgerton said. "We're going game-by-game, and point-by-point, but it's definitely exciting."
Said four seniors - Edgerton, Monika Gehl, Sierra Brill and Lizzie Bolyard - and the Gore Rangers have the opportunity to punch their ticket to the Denver Coliseum today when they host the 2A Region C Tournament.
VMS takes on Paonia at 9 a.m., followed by Dolores at noon. Whoever wins the round robin has an automatic berth to state.
This is Round 3 with Paonia for VMS. The Eagles won the regular-season game. The Gore Rangers got revenge in last weekend's district tourney.
"I've been really pleased with our approach to psychology and sports," VMS coach Mike Garvey said. "We're ready to play any team. It's about our system and skill."
Playing VMS' game will certainly be the strategy against Dolores at noon. VMS hasn't seen Dolores since regionals in 2009. VMS will watch Paonia and Dolores face off at 10:30.
Under the new postseason structure in 2A, the eight regional winners get an automatic berths to state, followed by four wild cards determined by the Freeman-Maxpreps computer poll, according to ranking. VMS is ranked 17th, so winning regionals is probably the safest path.
If all three teams end the round robin at 1-1, the squads will be ordered by games-won percentage at today's tournament. Nos. 2 and 3 will play a game to 25 points for the right to do the same against the No. 1-ranked team for a state berth.

Marrakesh Mint
Marrakesh Mint green tea is made from China Gunpowder green tea blended with refreshing Moroccan mint. Packaged in a silken tea pouch, our gourmet teabag, this blend will whisk you away to cascading waterfalls deep in the mountains of Morocco. Host friends and family with this lively green tea brightened with mint cultivated on a mountain in Tiznit.
Green tea, mint
Tightly rolled pellets of green tea, dried mint
Cool, clean mint
Light green liquor
Round and refreshing body with lively mint
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil and then let sit for 1-2 minutes or heat to 170F-180F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2 - 3 minutes. Watch how the leaves within the pouch have room to gracefully unfurl in your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
China, Morocco
Health Benefits
Green tea
Both black and green tea originate from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis. However, the final product differs in style, taste and caffeine content due to differences in processing. Green teas are not fermented or fully oxidized like black teas, but instead steamed or pan fired.
Like black teas though, green tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals. Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes.
Drinking green tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity. Further health benefits of green tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionalityand even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, green tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Mint promotes healthy digestion and aids in soothing indigestion. Get a dose of aromatherapy too, as the scent promotes calm and quiet.
Share this classic tea with friends and family any time of day. Start your own mint green tea ritual, like in Morocco where tea is drunk everywhere as a sign of hospitality and sharing. Prepare in a traditional metal teapot and pour into beautiful Moroccan glass cups adorned with color, elegant designs. Add lumps of sugar and serve with small cakes and pastries.
Pairs well with savory and spicy foods.

It was a normal enough outing for our little family.
"Look over there," my wife said, a jerk of the chin noting where I should be looking. (She used her chin because at this point, she was trying to force feed our daughter with one hand while attempting to lasso our son back to the table. She was using a real lasso. Talented gal, this wife of mine.)
So I glanced to where her chin pointed me. It was a couple. Right behind us. Mid-20s. Married (I checked.) Having a cocktail and appetizers. And playing Scrabble.
"'Memba tvhat, being able to pway games and not habve a care?" my wife mumbled, as she was now changing our daughter's diaper with her feet and using her mouth to help my son color in a Transformers picture. (She had 16 crayons and a glitter stick in her mouth.)
"Ahhhh yes," I said, turning back around to glance again at the couple.
And then it happened. Right there. I got what I call "The Stare" from the woman half of the Scrabble couple. I know The Stare -- it's the stare of contempt, scorn and arrogance, all rolled into one beady-eyed package.
And why did I get it? Because my daughter was now screaming "Elmo's Song" at the top of her lungs and my son was re-enacting the blow-up-the-Death Star scene from "Star Wars" using three forks and a bronzed pumpkin. (I know. Who bronzes a pumpkin?)
OK, I admit: Sometimes we're not the best-behaved chain restaurant goers at 5 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon. So sue us. But to give me The Stare? Not right. But The Stare I got, and The Stare I will continue to get, and The Stare I've gotten countless times in the past from these young married couples.
And so it's here, on this day and in this space, I need to say something to all the childless couples out there: I loathe you. Why? Because you just don't know. You think you're going to make perfect parents one day. You think you're better than me. You won't and you're not. Trust me.
Of course, a few years back, I was the one doing The Stare. I was the one to be loathed. I remember being part of a childless couple. It was lovely. We'd sleep late, we'd travel, we'd eat out all the time. And most of all, when we'd see hapless, stupid parents and their equally hapless and stupid offspring, we'd "tsk-tsk" to ourselves, clucking our tongues, telling each other what horrible parents those people are and that when we have kids we'd never be like that and on and on and on.
Well, I've got news for you, childless couples: You have no idea. You think you have an idea, but you don't. And don't tell me about how you once babysat your little cousin and taught him long division or how your sister's kid thinks you're just the bestest guy in the whole wide world or how you put Mary Poppins to shame when you used to be a nanny. I don't want to hear it. You know why? I'll repeat: Because you have no idea. No idea what it's like to be a parent to two small children who have their own notions of how to properly enjoy their evening out at a Mexican chain restaurant.
And while the scenarios I laid out up there -- the diaper changing and refried beans and such -- are obviously (slightly) fanciful, I'm telling you -- I could be somewhere and my kids could be on their best behavior and I'll still get The Stare. Why? Because even when little children are on their best behavior they still act like Mussolini from a windowsill: Loud, frantic and megalomaniacal. So attention childless couples: Next time you see me holding my daughter off the ground with one hand while Homer Simpson-ing my son (you know, hand around neck, spitting out "why you little ") do me a favor: Don't judge. Keep moving along, because believe me: You'll get yours one day. You'll have your own little kids you'll love unconditionally -- no matter how many bronzed pumpkins they blow up -- and you'll get The Stare from the new batch of childless couples.
And if I'm being honest, you'll probably get The Stare from me as well, as my kids will be older and I'll have completely forgotten the fact they once behaved like little Tasmanian Devils hopped up on cocaine and Red Bull.

GRAND JUNCTION - It's getting urgent all of a sudden down at the district tournament at Grand Junction.
That loosey-goosey feeling of "We just need one win to get to state?" It's gone.
Eagle Valley girls basketball is on the brink after a 53-40 loss to Palisade in the consolation bracket of the of the district tournament Friday.
It's now win or go home against either Steamboat Springs or Durango today at 10 a.m. at Central High School.
"They kind of out-muscled us," Devils coach Sam Bartlett said. "It was a tough game. They didn't kill us on the boards. It's just the same story. We got looks at the basket and we didn't make them."
This is the wrong time in the season to be in a offensive slump, and the answers have to come quickly. Taylor Martin led the Devils (12-8) with 13 points, while Megan Asmussen had seven.
"We have to come out and play hard," Bartlett said. "We have put ourselves in the position to accomplish our goals. We just have to have confidence in ourselves and each other. We just have to go get it.
Montrose 71, Huskies boys 43
Battle Mountain boys basketball is in the same boat as the Eagle Valley ladies after a 71-43 loss Friday to Montrose in Grand Junction.
The Huskies need to win today at 11:30 a.m. at Central against either Glenwood or Steamboat to make state. The interesting question is whom would they rather have? Glenwood is a lower seed than the Huskies, but the Demons have beaten Battle Mountain twice in the regular season. Meanwhile, Steamboat has a better record, but the Huskies have split with the Sailors in their two meetings.
Whoever it is, the Huskies (9-13) can't afford to skip a quarter. Battle Mountain trailed just 27-24 at halftime before the Indians erupted for 28 points in the third quarter.
Jerry Carrazco topped the Huskies with 12 points.
"We still have a chance," Huskies coach Tom Padilla said. "We haven't given up."
Palisade 49, Eagle Valley boys 44
Palisade has been the nut that Eagle Valley boys basketball hasn't been able to crack this year.
The Bulldogs struck for the third time this year with a 49-44 win over the Devils in the district semifinals Friday. Even though, the Devils (15-6) have the luxury of losing - they are in the state playoffs by virtue of their win Thursday - Eagle Valley head coach Jim Bair was not a happy camper after Friday's defeat.
"We were up going into the fourth quarter," he said. "We blew it. We played poor. This is the most disappointed I've been this year. We should have won. There are times that a team beats you and you're happy to be in it. We completely blew it."
Eagle Valley faces either Durango or Rifle today at 11:30 a.m. at Mesa.
Vail Christian 71, Vail Mountain 24
EDWARDS - Oh, by the way, Vail Christian boys basketball just set a school record for wins in a season by downing Vail Mountain, 71-24, Friday night at the Wheeler Athletic Center in Edwards.
The Saints are 14-4 overall and 9-2 in the 2A Slope going into today's regular-season finale against Plateau Valley. (Girls tip at 4 p.m., followed by the gents at 5:30 p.m.)
Vail Christian ended this early with a dominant first quarter. Sophomore Luke Berger ended up leading the Saints with 14 points. Also of note was a 10-point performance from Branden Currey, who is in his second weekend back from injury.
