No one besides Mel Gibson is hoping for a fifth installment of "Lethal Weapon". Luckily, when Mac and Dennis take the helm, the story is a pitch-perfect, albeit quite racist version worthy of Mel himself.
There's nothing better than seeing Danny Devito reach inside for his inner creep and knock it out of the park.

Although they may have been very young at the time - or not even born yet - many area students will be observing the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the days ahead.
Activities will take place in individual classes throughout Washington County's six public school districts and there will also be schoolwide moments of silence and other gestures.
"Obviously what we (do) with the kindergarteners is going to be a little different than what we're doing with the older kids," said Cheryl Cook, principal at Harmar Elementary School in Marietta. "We really don't want to go into graphic detail. (We'll be discussing) what happened, when did it happen, where did it happen and most importantly, what did we do in response?"

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Fort Frye High School teacher John Bostic discusses the impact of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with his freshman modern world history class Wednesday. A portion of each of Bostic's classes on Friday and Monday will focus on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
Cook said the Harmar staff was finalizing plans for its Sept. 11 remembrance on Wednesday.
Both Fort Frye and Frontier high schools will observe a moment of silence in honor of the anniversary of the day when terrorists flew hijacked airplanes into the twin towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and crashed a fourth plane in a Pennsylvania field after passengers fought back.
At Frontier, guidance counselor Holly Cunningham is leading a program encouraging students to honor the day by performing a random act of kindness.
"I think it's a wonderful idea ... something everyone can do, whether you're a seventh-grader or a senior," Cunningham said. "You never know, that one nice word can turn someone's day around and keep them from doing something violent somewhere down the road.
"We hope it's a lesson that they do in honor of 9-11 and take it with them for the rest of their lives," she said.
Fort Frye High School teacher John Bostic will be using a portion of his Friday and Monday government and world history classes to discuss the impact the attacks continue to have.
"With the government students, it's how has it changed your life, how does it compare (then and now)?" he said. "And where's the line between your freedom and your safety?"
On Wednesday, Bostic spoke to a freshmen modern world history class about some of those topics, including the heightened security measures at the school, including cameras and locked doors that weren't so common a decade ago. He told the students that even though their direct knowledge of Sept. 11, 2001, may be small, its impact on their lives has been significant.
One of the students in the class, Lexi Skinner, said she remembers little about the day, when she was a kindergartener at Beverly Elementary School.
"I had no clue," she said. "I just remember all of our teachers talking to each other.
"I remember my parents sitting and watching the news the whole time. ... It was just real quiet," Skinner said.
Fort Frye senior Nicole Miller was a second-grader at Salem-Liberty Elementary on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I can't believe it's been 10 years," she said. "I just remember going to school that day and all the teachers turned the TV on."
Miller has flown on an airplane in the years since and while fear of a terrorist attack may have been in the back of her mind, it wasn't an overriding concern.
"You can't live in fear," Miller said. "It didn't freak me out 'cause it's in God's hands."
Skinner admitted being nervous about encountering people of other ethnicities when she last flew, even though she knew it was unfair.
"I didn't like it," she said.
While discussions on such topics will likely be happening in middle and high school classrooms around the county, the approach will be different for younger students.
Putnam Elementary Principal Jona Hall, a former social studies teacher, said nothing specific is planned at that school, although that doesn't prevent teachers from addressing the subject.
"That's a really heavy topic," she said.
New Matamoras Elementary Principal Bill Wotring said a remembrance of 9-11 will be included in the school's annual celebration of POW/MIA Day on Sept. 16.
Belpre City Schools Superintendent Tony Dunn said the district has provided teachers with some materials they can consider using with their students. At the elementary level, the focus will be more on community service, counting one's blessings and making sure people are treated fairly, he said.
Third-graders at Marietta's Phillips Elementary School will read a book entitled "September 12: We Knew Everything Would Be All Right," which consists of drawings and writings by first-graders at an Illinois school the day after the attacks.
"It's a remembrance of the past but also hope for the future," said third-grade teacher Evy Bryant. "This book has it in pictures, drawn by first-graders. That's what they did at that time to help them get through this."
Third-graders will also sing patriotic songs like "This Land is Your Land" and "God Bless America," and may make American flags if time permits.
While the students hadn't been born when the attacks happened, Bryant said it's important for them to learn about it, to "know what America's all about and what makes us strong."
Marietta fire Chief C.W. Durham said he and his wife have told their children about Sept. 11 in general but have not gone into a lot of detail due to their ages - 7 and 10.
Durham's eldest daughter, Sydney, was born about a month before the attacks. She knows the World Trade Center consisted of "large office buildings" and "they were crashed by terrorists in New York," she said.
"It was a really important day and a lot of people lost their lives in it," Sydney said.
Sydney said she's also learned about the attacks at her school, Harmar Elementary, where the events were discussed as part of a social studies lesson last year and a banner hangs that reads, "We Remember."

An Andersonville man was taken to an area medical facility last week after he apparently consumed brownies laced with marijuana.
Anderson County Sheriff's Department reports said 64-year-old John Goin, 483 Mill Creek Road, was taken to the Tennova North Hospital.
Deputy James Erskine seized the remainder of the brownies and about .48 ounces of marijuana he took from a safe at Goin's home.
Reports said Goin's live-in girlfriend called 911 about 5:45 p.m. on Dec. 12 when she arrived home and saw Goin pacing back and forth in the kitchen. He reportedly appeared to be under the influence of drugs. He reportedly told his girlfriend to call 911 "because he ate too many marijuana brownies and thought he was going to die."
The girlfriend told deputies she was unaware Goin used marijuana. Goin was charged for simple possession or casual exchange, but released on a misdemeanor citation.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

Valdosta, GA - Albany State scored the first two points of the game Tuesday night, but, after tying it, Valdosta State would never give up the lead again. Behind sharpshooting from Sczeny Hartry and Brooke Satterfield, playmaking of Maylisa Johnson and consistency of Brittany Ferguson the Lady Blazers moved to 3-2 on the season with a 68-57 win over the in-state rival Golden Rams.
After not hitting a single three-pointer in the first half, Satterfield and Hartry combined for eight three-pointers in the second half. The duo made eight of 13 for a 61.5 percent shooting performance from behind the arc in the second half.
With four three-pointers, Hartry exploded for 13 points in the second half to finish the game with 17, a game high. She also brought down five rebounds in 37 minutes of play.
The most impressive stat line, however, may belong to Johnson. Also playing 37 minutes, Johnson managed nine assists to her teammates, eight points and six rebounds. She also had four steals and just two turnovers playing any one of four positions throughout the night.
After Hartry and Satterfield, the third double-digit scoring performance for VSU came from Ferguson. She finished with a hard fought 11 points and seven rebounds. She also led all players with seven steals and gave out three assists.
Valdosta State came out aggressive in the first half, forcing 14 turnovers and registering eight first half steals, four by Ferguson. The Lady Blazers let their defense open up their offense, scoring 14 points off turnovers and 12 points on the break in the first half. With most baskets coming on lay-ups, VSU finished the first half with 14 points in the paint as well.
The team was dangerous because of its balance. Four Lady Blazers led the team in first half scoring with six points apiece. Two Lady Blazers brought down five rebounds each helping Valdosta State gain a 25-17 advantage on the glass in the first half. In addition, three Lady Blazers notched an assist in the opening frame, led by Johnson with four.
Valdosta State's work in the first half led to a 32-21 scoring advantage at the break, but the Lady Blazers led by as much as 15 points in the half. With the game tied at four, Courtney Mitchell made a jump shot from Johnson for a lead five minutes in. Hartry scored next followed by two free throws from Ferguson. Hartry forced a steal and finished on the other end for a lay-up for a quick 8-0 run in just two minutes.
After pulling away, VSU kept a steady 10-point lead throughout the rest of the half. Valdosta State again built up to a 15-point lead in the second half, but Albany State slowly started chipping away at it. After a three-pointer from Satterfield, the Golden Rams went on a 7-0 run to close the lead to eight with 8:37 left.
With just over four minutes left, Albany State was able to pull within four on free throws from Kedeemya Cooper, but Hartry answered with a run all on her own. She buried a three-pointer and a free throw after a steal from Ferguson. Satterfield stole the ball next and Hartry scored another three-pointer to bum the lead back to 11. Ferguson followed that with a lay-up to claim a 13-point lead with 2:09 left to play, and Albany State would never threaten again.
Valdosta State will next be in action against Palm Beach Atlantic at 2 p.m. on December 3, then will revisit the Golden Rams on their floor at 7 p.m. December 12. The Lady Blazers will return home to face Columbus State at 6 p.m. December 15.

Can anyone help?
Hi. I bought the game "Your Shape" for my gf yesterday. When I tried to load it, it said I had to make an update for it to work. I was afraid it would mess up my Wii since it's softmodded and there was no option to cancel, just a warning that said something like "Nintendo is fighting piracy and unauthorized programs installed on the Wii might stop working if I don't accept the update". I reset the Wii. Maybe I shouldn't have. After that Snesgx9x, fceugx, genplus, wii64 and vbadvancegx wouldn't boot no matter what (from HBC). But everything else is fine: back-ups and WiiWare. My Wii is 4.2.
Later on I red that the update is just a driver for the camera, so I updated the Wii and now the game works, but the emulators still don't.
What did that damn update change?
Can anyone help?
Tried the IOS scan, but the program freezes after saying "Initialising the FAT file system".
So you don't thing the disc update you did had anything to do with it?
I used IOS scan on the Wii, from HBC, not on startup. Here's what I get running the program.
As for the disc update, the problem started before I actually did the update. After inserting the game "Your Shape" and clicking on the channel, it said I had to update and the if I didn't want to, I could reset the Wii. But it also said the doing so (reset) might make some unauthorized programs stop working properly, so I guess it changed something, like an IOS maybe?
So that's what I want to figure out: what did that damn update modified. Keep in mind that everything but the emulators still work fine., like backup games.
Thanks for your time.
maybe the game you inserted stub one or more of your ios . try dop-Mii. to go over the ios and check if any of the needed ios are stubed and remove them and reinstall them. best if you google for guide on how to use it cause like any hack if you dont know what your doing it will brick your wii.
I would link a guide in some site i usually go to but im not sure if thats against the rules or not.
It's probably not as there are plenty of links to gbatemp here. So go ahead!I would link a guide in some site i usually go to but im not sure if thats against the rules or not.

I don't have this issue with HD AVI files. All files are 24P encoded where this stupid PS3 is not able to switch... grrrrr
To solve the problem with MKV, i do Pause , wait 1sec and play again, this sequence put back the movie correctly running but that's not funny at all
First my config:
My PC:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3
DualCore Intel Core 2 E8200, 3200 MHz (8 x 400)
2048 Mo (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)

In your experience, do you see a different between the way men and women coach? How are they different? Do you have a preference?
It is safe to say both male and female coaches are capable of possessing all the qualities you want in a great coach: motivational, committed, knowledgeable and can lead by example. Ive had more male coaches in my life than female coaches-mostly male though high school and then two sets of women coaches in college. Across the sports, both the men and women I played for possessed these qualities, that is, that the large majority of their coaching styles overlap.
My initial reaction was to say the biggest difference in my experience was that the female coaches were stricter and the males were more laid-back. But that can most likely be attributed to the fact that the women coaches level of play was much higher... and the men I played for happened to be laid-back because that was their individual personality, not necessarily because they were male. There may be too many variables to make a conclusive call.
I think that they are different Sara. I personally do not have a preference but i think that the way a women reacts to a women is different than the way a women reacts to a man. Whether one is better or worse I dont think is for anyone to say because I think that it is different from person to person. As long as the man/women has played and knows the sport I do not think that it is a problem. As for women coaching men's sports, that may be a problem unless you are Goldie Hahn. A women may have a hard time gaining the respect of young men especially in sports like football. Not that I think anything is wrong with it, because I think a woman may be a better coach than a man, but a lot of coaching is making a good relationship with your players.
I know female soccer players who say they prefer a male coach, some even saying they couldn't see themselves playing for a female.
Personally, I think it comes down to what you know, what you've grown up with. Someone who's played for both male and female are probably more open-minded than someone who's grown up with just one and has had success that way.
isnt important the gender I think , important its the tehnique and how much time work with the team ...
They sometimes do: Coaching (Soccer) like the Congress is male dominated and women in both sometimes adapt their style to to that of the majority. I think girls and boys definitely learn differently; and, that must be understood to successfully coach either gender. Whether the coach adapts his/ her style to his audience is up to the individual coach's ability and knowledge.
Re Female coaches being more strict than their male counterparts: That may stem from the same reason that fathers tend to be less critical of their daughters and mothers of their sons. Fathers are probably more objective of their daughters than their sons because they look at them as they are: without any experiential personal factors re their own childhoods. I'm not sure that coaches don't sometimes fall into the same trap. If true, a male coach may be better and more objective when coaching womwn than his female counterpart-all other variables being equal. Obviously, the same would hold true for female coaches and male players.
I also say they coach differently, I say the female are stricter and the male are laid back. I prefer male because they're laid back and a bit more fun sometimes. but, sometimes I wish I had a female so I get a bit more intensity in the training session.
in my opinion there shouldn't be any distinction between them both. Maybe the physical aspect of training should differ slightly, but endurance and speed no....
In soccer the training items should be the same whether the coach is a women or a man. No men and women do not coach differently. Soccer exercise is the same for all. However there might be difference in things such as a man coach speaks with laud voice and anger than a women. A man coach might give physical importance while a women might be educational and statistical importance attached to soccer.

Since arriving at MGH in 1999 I have had the privilege of training in internal medicine and cardiology, teaching as a chief resident and as a cardiology attending, providing clinical care to patients with a broad range of cardiovascular diseases, and conducting research. As an investigator at MGH I have published over 50 manuscripts in fields ranging from the evaluation of novel therapies for heart failure to mechanisms of exercise intolerance in cardiovascular disease and metabolic response patterns to exercise. I am particularly interested in the role of the lung circulation in mediating exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure. Our team of investigators is also interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of exercise adaptation through mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling in collaboration with the Broad Institute and Dr. Robert Gerszten. My clinical interests parallel my research interests and focus on improving cardiac performance in patients with a variety of cardiovascular diseases. As a staff member in the recently established Cardiac Performance Program I look forward to offering state of the art cardiopulmonary exercise testing to a broad spectrum of individuals- from patients with heart failure to athletes- in an effort to further understand and improve cardiac performance. As medical Director of Mechanical CIrculatory Support and the Cardiology Intensive Care Unit I also have a strong interest in treatment of advanced heart failure and other critical illnesses
Research & Publications
- Research Summary
- My background is in biochemistry and cardiopulmonary physiology, and I have formal training in trial design, clinical investigation, and mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling to study cardiopulmonary performance. A major objective of my current research is to understand mechanisms of exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure and to define physiologic and biochemical signatures of heart failure subphenotypes by using exercise as a physiologic probe.
A major area of focus has been on defining physiologic and metabolomic signatures of right ventricular-pulmonary vascular (RV-PV) interactions during exercise in heart failure. In two recent senior author publications my laboratory was the first to report that periodic breathing during exercise is closely related to right heart performance and that the amplitude and cycle length of ventilatory oscillations are inversely related to cardiac output augmentation during exercise. Through a unique exercise protocol that integrates hemodynamic measurements, ventriculography, gas exchange measurement, and plasma sampling we have also found that the kinetics of oxygen uptake and efficiency of ventilation provide complementary gas exchange signatures of pulmonary vascular function during exercise. Taken together, these easily acquired non-invasive physiologic parameters not only promote recognition of impaired RV-PV function in response to exercise, they also appear to respond favorably to targeted interventions directed at RV-PV dysfunction.

Hello members of Think Atheist. I don't remember this topic being brought up before so here it is.
The reason I am asking this is because on the Ok Cupid dating website, after browsing quite a number of female profiles - they were able to answer a question and the question is as follows:
"Do you think the man should be the head of the household?"
Well, to my surprise, I have seen quite a few females answer 'Yes' to the question and haven't yet seen a female answer 'No'.
In my opinion, I think it makes no sense to call a man the head of the household and that it is also sexist.
But apparently the females who answered the question wish it were true.
1.) Why do you think this is so? Because females have this innate desire to be submissive? Or is it because females want to hold onto the traditional so called 'values' associated with marriage? Does this somehow go along the lines of the females wanting what they call an 'alpha male'? Or something else entirely?
2.) If you feel you want to answer the question as a 'Yes', then why? If you say 'No' , then why?
3.) What is your definition of 'head of the household'? Does this mean all decisions are made by the male? Does this imply the party who is working full time and earning the money get's to make the decisions?
I look forward to reading the replies!

Hi. This is surprisingly common. Many women want to have a less responsible role in a relationship and feel 'looked after' which is fine providing they find a man who wants the same thing. I used to identify as feminist because I think equal rights are important. I stopped identifying this way because feminist groups seldom concern themselves with men's rights as part of this and men have at least a many disadvantages legally and socially as women do and this is one of them.
The single attitude which holds back women now is those women who claim that being a submissive partner and/or a stay at home mother is not just what they want but how women should be. This defines those of us, including me, who value careers and want a man who is equally involved with children and domestic things, as unfeminine, unnatural and bad mothers. It is also very unfair on men. With women now graduating from college in larger numbers and earning 8% more than men before they have children or live with a partner, the whole ideal of the man earning more and being defined by his success is unworkable and puts huge pressure on men. A recent study showed that 50% of men would enjoy being a stay at home parent whilst only 10% of women would want a stay at home partner. This leads to women who want this being seen as having a right to it and men as having no right to it at all and being a failure if it works out that way.
So anyway:
1) Yes many women like the idea of being submissive and having no career pressure and being looked after financially - more women want this than men want a woman like this. Many men would also enjoy the option of having no financial responsibility and looking after children full time but they rarely get this option.
2) I would say no. I now have more qualifications than my husband and love my work whilst my husband has no qualifications and his work is something he does to live. Our plan is for me to get established in a career and for him to be able to stop work. He would then train to do something he loved whilst I support us. We make decisions together and our income is shared. We each tend to take responsibility for different types of decisions. We do not have a head of household.
3) Yes, a head of household is the supreme authority. There should be no supreme authority in a house with two adults.
Something that stuck out to me like a sore thumb... you seem to be linking submissive with being a stay at home mom. There isn't necessarily a link between the two.
Did not mean to - that was why I said and/or. I was a stay at home mum because my husband earnt more at the time. I am not submissive! I am talking mainly about a type of woman who buys into the whole traditional role thing where the man as 'head' is both dominant and sole breadwinner. I think this is often what is meant when someone says they see the man as the head of the household over here in the UK anyway. Agree that many women are submissive by nature but work and many stay at home mums are not remotely submissive.
1) May be due to the sample pool being small or favouring a certain group rather than the whole.
2) No. I don't think there is any reason why the a male's opinion should be more valuable than a female's on the sole basis of gender.
3) My idea of the 'head of the household' is someone whom opinion and advice on issues is valued more than anyone else's for whatever reason. In a relationship like a family it's my opinion that both parties be doing a similar amount of work where that's working full/part-time, housework, childrearing, education, etc unless there is a reason why this would be impractical, such as disabilities. Any income from both parties can be considered pooled and any large purchases should be discussed. This way no party is considered above to the other and both parties are treated like human beings with feelings and needs.
Although some people do slip into traditional gender roles.
Maybe we should also ask for a few goats or a cow from our wives' fathers? It is traditional after all.
I know my pack would like to tear into some goats. Aroooooo!!!
1. I don't think it's so much an innate desire as a trained one. For several thousands of years we have created our societies based on rather strict gender roles*. There has been very little give in those roles, with rare exceptions I'm sure, and only in the last two hundred years (at most) has Western society really questioned those roles. I think we subconsciously absorb those "men do this" and "women do this" ideas and incorporate them into our own decisions and behaviors without questioning their logic or validity. To a lot of women this is probably how they've seen it done, and they've been trained to into feeling comfortable when a man takes the lead. I can't say that there is nothing biological going on because I haven't studied it enough.
2. I had a similar discussion once with a guy who thought that men should be the head of the household. His belief came from his upbringing. His father had left is his family, and his mom ended up marrying another good-for-nothing who only took responsibility when it came to discipline. In his mind it is a man's job to protect the family. I can't argue that a man should protect his family. However I take issue with the idea that he should be considered the most - or only one - capable of doing so solely because he is a man.
I told him it wouldn't be considered sexist to have a man be considered the head of the household based on his decision making skills and if it was agreed upon between spouses. It is sexist to assume, again, that a man is the head based solely on him being a man. In my family one might consider my mother the head of the household because she appears to handle all of the big decisions. In reality though any truly successful marriage** is never going to have it so cut-and-dry. My mom never makes a big decision without talking to my dad. She may be the one to act on a decision, but it is rarely ever her putting her foot down and telling my dad how it's going to be. In fact I think I've only see her do it once or twice, and only with very good reasons.
3. Personally I have no attraction to the term, as I find it very old-fashioned and restrictive, so I'm having trouble coming up with a good definition that I would use. Actually I think Eoganacht's definition is one I could accept.
* Gender roles almost needs its own discussion page. Based on the experience in my life I find that while there are physiological and anatomical differences between men and women the line that defines what a man is and what a woman is should not be a straight cut, but rather one at an angle to account for the wide amount of variation. I think people tend to be more comfortable seeing things in black and white than in shades of gray. There are reasons gender roles became what they did based on these differences, but I feel they should be looked at more as a social construct than a biological one.
** This of course depends on how one defines a successful marriage. In my definition a successful marriage is one in which there is give-and-take, good communication, and shared responsibility. Obviously there are going to be exceptions.
1. I think many women are raised to believe that they are inferior and should be submissive to a man. Others are raised to understand that they are equal and would find the idea of having your gonads on the outside as the determiner of your status to be absurd.
2. There are some relationships in which one would rather defer responsibility for making decisions to the other. I don't think gender makes any difference in making decisions that affect a family. Again, if you were raised to believe yourself superior to half the population, you will act accordingly. Personally, I know women who run their households just as responsibly and efficiently as any guy.
3. Head of the household would imply to me that the person will make any decisions that affect the family. It does not necessarily imply who makes the most money, it implies who carries the responsibility. Ideally, it is a responsibility that should be shared by the couple. Because many are raised to believe that men fulfill certain gender roles and women the other, that is seldom the case.
1. I'm not sure why this happens, honestly... Probably just because "that's the way it's always been" for a lot of people and they feel no need to change it? I remember hearing my father saying things about how women shouldn't be preachers or politicians or heads of anything. It pissed me off even when I was a little kid! I always said, "No, women can do anything they want, just like men."
2. I personally don't think anyone, male or female, should be the "head of the household." It's not a dictatorship. When two people marry or at least choose to spend their lives together, it's not an agreement of, "Okay, now you obey my every word and I'll run everything." I'm engaged and I'm marrying my fiance because we want to go through life together, sharing experiences and ups and downs and making decisions. Key word is "together."
I really hate the phrase "Behind every great man is a great woman." No way in hell I'm standing behind anyone. We stand side by side or we don't stand together at all.
3. My definition would be pretty much everything you wrote: provider, maker of decisions, etc. Marriage is a unit of two people and things like providing for the family and decision-making should reflect that. I have no problem with one person working while the other takes care of the family; whatever makes people happy. It's the idea that it should be that way that frustrates me, even more so when it's the woman who's supposed to stay home.
I personally prefer that the man and woman share responsibility, but Humans and Chimpanzees evolved from a shared ancestor scientists call "Proconsul" (we have no idea what his friends called him) millions of years ago, and Jane Goodall established that within the chimp culture, the male is always dominant. The misogyny we see today in so many cultures may well be a holdover from those earlier times.
As for the women saying they preferred a male-dominated household, I can't comment on what might have been on their minds, but sometimes it's nice to let someone take the responsibility (and the blame) for making decisions. I'm personally reminded of the age-old philosophical argument: "If a man walks into the woods and speaks, and there's no woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?"
The head of the household should be who ever is more fit to do so. While I think that the power should be split evenly, this is nearly impossible. If the woman is better suited to make desicions and run the house, then she should obtain more power, and if the man is better suited, then he should have more power. This is the problem in society today: Social niches are filled based on prejudices, and not skill. If we could forget what we learned about certain people being better at certain things, and just let who ever was good at it do that job, I think society would run much more smoothy and advance faster.

When it works it works fine, but occasionaly, files just vanish on the PS3 dashboard? weird thing is, it still shows all my folder structures under PS3MS Icon, but the folders are empty, with the no titles to display message showing instead, this is solved by rebooting the PS3, or PC, sometimes during a session the files stay there all the time, and work fine (this is MP3 by the way, no other files are being shared) but sometimes, the files show, I play a game, come back and gone??? but folders are there lol.

George Wilhelm Marggraff
Hanukkah lamp
George Wilhelm Marggraff (1740-1804), detail of the Hanukkah lamp, Berlin ca. 1776
© Jewish Museum Berlin, photo: Jens Ziehe
The Jewish festival of Hanukkah is celebrated at home. For eight nights the festival lights are lit and placed in a window or doorway as a reminder of the miracle of light associated with the Hanukkah holiday.
This elaborate, rococo Hanukkah lamp was crafted by a the master silversmith George Wilhelm Marggraff and probably commissioned for a wealthy patron. Its form raises many questions. A classical female figure stands adjacent to the central shaft, wearing a toga. She gestures upwards with one arm and holds a rose branch in the otherone arm. How should this breast-baring woman be interpreted and what does she have to do with Hanukkah?
The Hanukkah festival recalls Jewish historical events. In the 2nd century B.C.E., the Jewish population in Palestine lived under repressive Hellenistic-Syrian rule and Jews were encouraged to Hellenize and to serve idolatrous gods. Even the holy Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was taken over and dedicated to the Greek god Zeus. The Hanukkah story tells of a Jewish uprising and the successful overthrow of Greek rule. The Temple was rededicated and the Temple candelabrum lit. Our rose-bearing figure is probably a representation of Chloris, the Greek goddess of flowers, and evokes the Hellenistic values against which the Jews rebelled. However, this irony is unlikely to be intentional and reflects rather the design whimsy of a non-Jewish silversmith with a penchant for classicism.
On the base of the lamp, miniature figures in modest European dress act out scenes more closely-related to Jewish aspects of the Hanukkah story, as if to underscore its intended function as a ceremonial Hanukkah lamp. An afterthought, perhaps.

Noteworthy Jams: Stash, Julius (highly recommended)
Average Song Gap: 42.41
Performers: Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, Giovanni Hidalgo (Guest), Aaron Johnson (Guest), Stuart Bogie (Guest), Ian Hendrickson (Guest), Michael Leonhart (Guest), Eric Biondo (Guest)
Notes: Page performed Frankenstein on keytar. Ghost included a San-Ho-Zay tease from Trey. Spooky was performed for the first time since April 14, 1993 (751 shows). The second set "musical costume" was Little Feat's Waiting for Columbus. Join the Band (the first track of Waiting for Columbus) was played over the P.A. before the start of the second set. Subsequently, Phish was introduced as "Little Feat" before Fat Man in the Bathtub. In the tradition of some of Phish's previous crowd experiments in the early '90s, flyers explaining a new Secret Language prank were included in the Phishbills that were passed out to fans as they walked into the show. The prank, designed to confuse those who would later listen to the recording, consisted of an announcer introducing Phish (as Little Feat). When the announcer would say a letter of the band FEAT ("Give me an F!"), the crowd would respond with letters corresponding to PHISH ("P-H!"). All of the songs in the second set other than Time Loves a Hero were Phish debuts. All of the songs in the second set, other than Don't Bogart That Joint and Willin', featured Giovanni Hidalgo on percussion. A five piece horn section consisting of Aaron Johnson, Stuart Bogie, Ian Hendrickson, Michael Leonhart and Eric Biondo joined the band for Old Folks Boogie, Time Loves a Hero, Day or Night, Mercenary Territory, Spanish Moon, Dixie Chicken, Rocket in My Pocket and Feats Don't Fail Me Now. Willin' featured Page on bass, Mike on piano, Trey on drums and Fish on vocals. Prior to the piano solo at the beginning of Willin', Fish remarked, "That's supposed to be Bill Payne on the keyboard." Don't Bogart That Joint was performed a cappella. Trey introduced the guest musicians at the start of Feats Don't Fail Me Now and Page teased "Charge!" during the introductions. At the conclusion of the second set, the entire band marched the perimeter of the floor. Disease was unfinished, was initially botched, and had to be restarted, prompting Fish to declare, "This one's off our album." Julius featured Giovanni Hidalgo and the Waiting for Columbus horn section.

This show was part of the "2010 Fall Tour."
Last weekend I had the unusual experience of going to Phish all 3 nights last weekend, each time with 3 different family members. With 2 kids in college and jobs and then a bit of trouble getting tix through normal channels I ended up going with my 18 year old son on 10-29-10, my 20 year old daughter on 10-30-10 , & my wife on 10-31-10. Just for a bit of history, none are newcomers. Weve been taking the kids to shows since they were born and we started taking them to Phish shows after the first hiatus in 2002 through Coventry. They live in a house filled with guitars, and bookcases filled with cassette tapes (from the Dead trading days) & cds. Of course being 18 & 20 they listen to some stuff that doesnt appeal to us as we do the same to them, but one thing is for sure. If Dad can scarf up Phish tickets, they will find a way to go!
Friday night end of month brutal day in work I shoot home get my son and were off. Mike (my son) is a Phish head & an avid musician; hes ready to hit it. Only about 30 miles from our house and traffic is light. Good deal we get there early. The first set was well played and seemed to build in intensity with the highlights coming in the last part of the set. Specifically Cities & 46 Days seemed to smoke at the end. The crowd was very pumped during Axilla- but not much extension on the song. The 2nd set had more of an even flow from start to finish, starting with a well played Punch You In The Eye >sand> Carini opening. Later in the set they played a smoking Piper>Theme From the Bottom, and closed with a very well played Golgi>Slave> Fluffhead. I know some may be tired of Fluffhead, but its a very intricate song musically and when they nail it I always get a sense of excitement. Perhaps because I wish I could play ½ of it on my guitar. Loving Cup closer made it feel like Halloween, since the they played the Stones last year. An excellent choice! Night one in the books
Saturday night day 2- I had to work 8am to 12 noon (after the Friday night show. Ouch!) My 20 year old daughter picks me up about 6pm. She offers to drive. Sure shes been at Halloween parties all week at Stockton College, may as well let the old man knock down a few. We get there about 7, and of course she knows the security guard in the parking lot below Boardwalk Hall. So we hang out talking to Perry & DJ from security for a bit and off we go.
1st set opener Kill Devil Falls- played well but not my favorite opener. Cavern was ok. But then the whole deal seemed to change with Foam. The intensity level went up one notch. Next an excellent Guelah Papyrus with a 3 minute pause in the middle really pumped the crowd. The band followed this with Chalkdust Torture. They seemed really pumped for this Chalkdust and when they turned the middle jam of Chalkdust into Whole Lotta Love it created a frenetic energy I havent seen in quite some time! The rest of the set they pretty much kept the peddle down with Ha Ha Ha > Walk Away> Wolfmans> Undermind> Bathtub Gin> Squirming Coil. The highlights of this were the very unusual & well done vocal jam in Wolfmans and the piano segment in Coil in which Page snuck in a Rain Song Zep tease to get the crowd more Zep pumped than they already were.
Set 2: Tube>Possum opener. Both were played well. Very upbeat with a lot of intensity, but for some reason I had a feeling something different was right around the corner. Tweezer opened and I could immediately tell that the upbeat manner from the opening that this was going to be a different type of Tweezer. Soon after the opening they transitioned back into Zep doing Heartbreaker , Ramble On & Thank You all the while going in & out of the Tweezer jam. They took it to the end and closed with the last 3 minutes of Stairway to Heaven. All played with upbeat intensity. As much as I love a 25-30 minute Tweezer with exploratory jamming, this very tight 18 minute Zep loaded version really went above and beyond all expectations. They followed this with Halleys Comet, and then into 2001 which of course the band continued teasing Zep music throughout> Bowie >Show of Life> Backwards Down the Number Line> Good Times Bad Times. Sleeping Monkey > Tweezer Reprise (with more teases) closed it out. Then to the exit I saw something I hadnt seen since 09-17-1991 at MSG when the Dead played such a hot show the crowd ran out the exits singing Not Fade Away. The crowd streaming out Boardwalk Hall with the same level of energy they had at high points of the show. People yelling, clapping, and generally just enjoying life and the fact that they probably just saw one of the greatest concerts of their lives. Coworkers of mine were at the Wild West casino next door and they couldnt believe what they saw on the Boardwalk outside. They stopped gambling and came out to join the crowd. They didnt know I was there until we talked about it after the show. They wish they went.
Day 3: Here by the Sea & Sand, nothing ever goes as planned
My wife and I get down the shore about 4pm. This is it. Im already feeling ragged after the last 2 nights. Were staying at the Claridge, a short walk from the arena. We check in, walk around, get a bite to eat. Observe the scene (seemed light on gamblers, mostly Phish folk. ) About 6:15 pm we start down, we figured we would walk around the Boardwalk. Of course all day were wondering what the costume will be when a phan in the elevator tells me they just started giving out the Phish bills! Little Feat. Having graduated high school in 1977 this fit right up our alley. A good friend turned me onto this album in 1978 and it excited me to see Phish take it on as the costume. I knew there would be some negative Phan backlash but so be it. (They could leave after the 1st set if they really didnt want to hear it.) Anyway then we get out on the Boardwalk and the first thing we notice is the casinos are piping Wading in the Velvet Sea out of their outside speakers. So here we are on a dark misty night on the AC Boardwalk listening the Casinos play Phish in October. Surreal.
Further down the Boardwalk the crowd and the excitement keeps building as we get closer to the venue until we get there and its wall to wall people, mostly in costume. Again very surreal. We hang around outside a bit, milling around and then head on in. Here we go, Halloween!
Set 1: Very much the Halloween theme. Page comes out on Keytar for Frankenstein, followed by BBFCFM, then Ghost, followed by Spooky. All well played, but no standouts. The Halloween group was followed by Divided Sky, which again was well played, but not a standout. Then they kicked it up a notch with Roses Are Free> Funky Bitch Boogie on Reggae Women. These three got the place jumping, but the set still hadnt broken new ground as other Halloween 1st sets in years passed seem to have done. The next song I cannot find much about in the reviews but for me it was the song that seemed to set the stage for the musical costume. As much as everyone wanted hear Harpua, or Reba, that would have been predictable. They rolled out Stash, and hit stride early in the song and didnt miss a beat. All aspects of the song were right on. In retrospect this was a Stash to remember forever. It set the table for set 2. They closed with Character Zero. Ok maybe its a tad overplayed, but thats ok. Its pretty obvious the band likes it.
Set 2: What can one say. Ive seen a lot of different reviews, criticisms, & compliments from pholks out there. They range from just being unhappy that they didnt do something different to being totally surprised and loving it. The review I found to be comical states Phish wont do Led Zeppelin for Halloween because no one can maintain the vocals, they should do Queens a Night at The Opera. Obviously the writer of this quote is very unfamiliar with Queen because one thing they might have trouble with is Freddie Mercurys vocals. The other quote I saw was The best live band takes on one of the best live albums of all time. A very good quote that describes the 2nd set to a T.
I could write a descriptive of each song- but the highlights of set 2 were the opening, All That You Dream (you go Trey!) , Time Loves a Hero, Dixie Chicken, and the last 6 songs (you will need to read the set list). The set smoked from beginning to end and Phish (again) showed just how accomplished they are as musicians. I paid a broker price for my tix and I would do it again. Well worth every dime spent.
Set 3: Ok its now past midnight, here we go. What can they do to top that second set!
I saw a review of the third set complaining of a lack of intensity. I think this person was at a different show. They opened with a very upbeat Disease>Back on the Train> Gotta Jibboo sequence that just smoked. The Jibboo was fantastic, maybe the best Ive ever seen. After this they did Camelwalk & Suzy Greenberg, which lulled a bit (well played but nothing special), but then came back with Wilson which had a Rock & Roll jam packed into the middle of it. A jam on Wilson? Sick! This was followed by an excellent Hood, then Horse into Silent in the Morning. The only song, after about 5 hours onstage, that seemed to slightly lose momentum was YEM. The band tied the pieces together nicely, but the jam got lost and the vocal jam died. The 19:29 includes at least 2-3 minutes of crowd banter waiting for them to come out and do the encore. Julius with the horns and percussionist from the 2nd set was a suitable closer and was well played.
So as I sit in the café at Ballys Park Place overlooking the ocean at 3am listening to some dude complain about the bar being closed (the last thing I need is a another beer) waiting for my open faced turkey sandwich my memories start flashing before me. And being very familiar with all the Halloween shows past and being very happy that they finally played one right down the street from my house & I was lucky enough to attend, it again becomes very surreal. Helter Skelter on the Boardwalk in AC playing Rock & Roll in a city by the beach with Phish covering one of the greatest live albums ever made.

The second set's Waiting for Columbus was by far the highlight of the night for me however, from beginning to end this was the most deeply rhythmic jungle blues boogie I've ever witnessed. Each note played seemed as if it was perfectly placed to point out the space between each moment. The rhythm section and hand drums were AWESOME and I hope we get to see them with Phish again. My favorites from Waiting for Columbus were Mercenary Territory and Tripe Face Boogie. I really hope Phish keeps some of these covers in the song rotation as I'd love the chance to boogie down again!
Also check out the Gotta Jibboo jam from set 3, pure fire.
Also, Atlantic City is a great place for a concert!!! Damn near paid for my hotel at Trump just from complimentary food/drinks/parking they gave me.
To be honest I enjoyed this night equally as much as the night before although it seems to get all the attention. Besides the musical costume check out the Ghost->Spooky(equally as fluid as the Ghost->JJF from 6/27) and the Stash from the first set. The BOTT from the third. Really not as stellar of a 3rd set as '98 or especially '95, but those are both tall orders to fill. Boardwalk Hall is a Bad Mutha Fucka!!
Solid 3.0 4/5

effort illrs. Harstad has spent In chai ring the Presidential Selection Committee,
Dr. Bovce briefed the Board on the progress of the annexation of recently
acqui red University j.lroperty to the city of l\It. Pleasant. A resolution to
annex aU University land was passed at the September 20 , 1967, meeting
of the Board. Since filing the petition for annexation. the City Planning
Commission has Indicated its approval and the City Commission has approved
the new Library and Southwest Quadrangle sites. The matter was then
referred to the Union Township Board.
Union Township has a Resolution on Its books which limits annexation
of any additional land until a decision has been reached in its litigation
with the city, with the exception of '1sland" parcels of land. Since the
library site Is surrounded by property a lready annexed and considered
an "sland. " this particular site was approved by Union Township for
annexation. The Southwest Quadrangle property, however. is pending.
Our Lega l Counsel and Dr. Bovee were Inv ited to meet with the Union
Township Board Study Committee to present our position. The matter
is now before the Union Township Board for action.

A motion was made, seconded and carr ied that this matter be referred to
the Academic Mfairs Committee of the Board.
President Foust reviewed previous action taken by the Board on
September 20, 1967, at which time a Resolution was passed authorizing
legal action to determine the constitutionality of certain provisions of a
number of Public Acts. The intent of the Resolution was that State
supported colleges and universities as a gr oup wou ld participate in this
su it. The legal firm employed to handle the case started the suit on
behalf of three schools only, Wayne State University. MIchigan state
University and the Unive rsity of Mich igan, indi cating they were set up
under a different structure.than the other schools involved. President
Foust stated that he had discussed this matter with a number of Presidents
of other State supported colleges and universities and thflt since the legal
action is progressing under a different procedure than planned. it would
seem advisable to rescind the Resolution .
It was moved, seconded and carried that the following Resolution be

Canada Stocks to Watch: RIM, Cameco, New Flyer, Mitel and more
By Judy McKinnon
Listed below are some of the stocks we're watching today.
Research In Motion has lost another big BlackBerry customer, with Home Depot planning to transition some 10,000 employees to the iPhone. Sources told WSJ's AllThingsD that the home improvement retailer plans to outfit store, district and corporate management with iPhones in the months ahead.
Cameco said fourth-quarter earnings fell to 11 Canadian cents a share from 67 Canadian cents and revenue edged down 1%. Adjusted earnings fell to 60 Canadian cents a share from 63 Canadian cents, but were ahead of the Thomson Reuters mean estimate for a profit of 41 Canadian cents a share.
New Flyer Industries said it now expects fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA to be about equal to the third-quarter level, instead of its previous projection that it would be stronger.
Mitel Networks said it expects third-quarter revenue of about $142 million, in line with its previous guidance.
Brookfield Asset Management said it has agreed to buy 19 apartment communities for $414 million.

Jaffee: High school football around the corner
The talk about high school football in Connecticut has become a year-round obsession.
Almost as soon as the winter begins, fans are itching for some local news about who's going to be good and who are the next up-and-coming players.
Even after 35 years of covering this sport, I'm still amazed by the fans who never have enough information. It's unlike any other high school sport.
In recent months and more rapidly over the last few weeks, I've been asked to give my take on the projected No. 1 team in the preseason polls and on whether Ansonia will maintain its quest to overtake Cheshire's all-time winning streak.
Or how will Oxford fare upon leaving the South-West Conference for the natural fit of the Naugatuck Valley League this fall? And last, but not least, how will the newly appointed coaches in our area fare?
With only weeks remaining before the official start of the conditioning workouts and preseason football, here are some of my thoughts about the 2014 season.
For the record, preseason polls mean absolutely nothing. We can project all we want about who is returning and who may have graduated. I still haven't sifted through the rosters closely enough or checked statewide programs.
What I do know is 2013 Class S champion Ansonia and Class LL champion Southington will be in the mix as legitimate top-tier teams. Both teams graduated their primary stars, Ansonia tailback Arkeel Newsome (now at UConn) and Southington quarterback Stephen Barmore (Yale).
Still, the Chargers and Blue Knights will be fine, with Jai'Quan McKnight at the controls for Ansonia and the state's most dynamic receiver, Alex Jamele, back with the Blue Knights.
In Week 6, Ansonia plays at Newtown in the NVL-SWC Challenge. Should Ansonia win its first five games, it would go to Newtown in search of tying Cheshire's 49-game win streak set from 1991-96.
But that's the furthest thing from coach Tom Brockett's mind right now. There are a lot of starting positions to fill, and backup roles to solidify, so worrying about an October date is somewhat ridiculous at the end of July.
As for the Wolverines, they join the NVL and their first game happens to be against the Chargers. Oxford made tremendous strides in recent years in the SWC and proved it by knocking off Pomperaug the last two Thanksgiving eves.
While the Wolverines graduated a lot of seniors, most notably receiver Chris VanKamerik and quarterback Kyle Chudoba, they're a program on the rise.
Owen Diaz is one of the most unassuming and talented players for Oxford. The younger brother of Deven and Brennen Diaz, both former stars and leaders in the program, Owen will no doubt follow his brothers' lead.
Roaming the sidelines in head coaching roles will be a few guys fulfilling their long-term aspirations — Tim Phipps at Woodland, Luigi Velardi at Watertown and James Reed at Pomperaug.
With any coaching change, there is a learning curve. It is my hope all three will be given ample time to settle into their roles and do things as they see fit.
Having known Phipps and Velardi for nearly 20 years, I know their people skills and communication abilities with kids are as good as it gets. And while I haven't yet met Reed, close allies have told me that Reed is fitting in rather nicely in Southbury.
See you in a few weeks.

Evidence for the Implementation of the Final Solution: Electronic Edition, by Browning, Christopher R.Table of Contents

126.96.36.199Many Poles in the villages around these camps saw the endless flow of transports, smelled the terrible odors of the camps, and heard all kinds of rumors of how the Jews were killed, including not only by gas but also by steam and electricity. Some Polish witnesses had particular vantage points, which enabled them to know much more about the camps than other Poles in the surrounding areas. For instance, between November 1 and December 23, 1941, a small force of Polish workers was employed to construct the initial buildings, including the first small gas chamber with only three rooms, at Belzec. Stanislaw Kozak and Edward Ferens both testified immediately after the war about their construction work in Belzec.146 According to Kozak sand was poured between the double walls of one small building, whose interior was partially covered with zinc sheeting. The building had three rooms, each with two doors, one entering from a interior corridor and the other exiting to the outside. The doors were very strong and covered with rubber; they opened outward and were secured with crossbars on the outside. When Edward Ferens asked the German supervisor the purpose of the building, the latter merely laughed.
While the Poles worked on these buildings, the black-uniformed auxiliaries dug a large pit behind it. Beginning in March 1942 transports began arriving, sometimes 2-3 per day. In the fall the transports stopped, and an excavator was employed to open and empty the mass graves. For the next three months the terrible smell of burning bodies pervaded the area and could be detected up to 15 kilometers away. The camp was then dismantled.
Jan Jrzowski and Jan Piwonski worked at the train station in Sobibor, directly across from the ramp where the transports for the camp were unloaded.147 Three German officers arrived in the fall of 1941 and measured the station ramp. Construction on the camp began March 1942, and the observant Poles wondered about the arrival and unloading of large, heavy doors covered with rubber. The transports began arriving in April, and by fall the smell of decaying corpses was detectable. In October 1942 an excavator arrived. The graves were opened and the corpses burned. The smell of burning bodies reached Wlodawa 9 kilometers away. The fire within the camp could be seen clearly at night. On October 14, 1943, an uprising occurred in the camp, after which it was closed.

August 7, 2006
Some students in Columbia County are riding home from school on a hot school bus with temperatures in the high 90's.
Columbia County's goal is to replace all of their school buses without A/C with climate controlled buses.
After hours in extreme heat, some students are riding home on non-air conditioned school buses.
Columbia County transportation director Dewayne Porter says an average route is 30 to 45 minutes.
"It is hot," he says. "We are conscious of that, and we are doing everything we can do to expedite loading the buses and getting them off campus."
Porter says many of the buses without air have tinted windows and white tops to reflect the heat.
"Usually once they start rolling, they start cooling down, and they start becoming more like the temperature outside," he says.
Of the 165 route buses in Columbia County, 84 of them are climate controlled. The school system's goal is to have every bus in Columbia County with air conditioning.
"We just put eight brand new buses on the road that are climate controlled," Porter says.
Yolanda Beatty has three kids. She lives in the ivy falls subdivision and says they are fortunate to be riding one of the air-conditioned buses.
"Inside my car it gets to be like 150 degrees, so I can imagine a school bus," she says.
Porter says every year they are replacing Columbia County's non-air conditioned buses with ones that have A/C, which typically run $7000 more than the ones without A/C.
"They probably would be car riders if they were on the hot buses," Beatty says.
Porter says replacing one bus at a time is a step in the right direction.
In Aiken County none of the school buses are air-conditioned.
In Burke County about half of the 88 buses on routes are air-conditioned.
Richmond County Transportation did not return our calls.

While the infrequency of my hockey writing has approached latter day Albom levels, you always make time for the annual prediction post. It's a rule, like icing and Tuesdays. I don't even think I did one of these last year so you know what that makes me? A rule-breaker. Yeah, a real rebel. Girl let's jump on my Harley and motor through some words.
Vroom vroom! Aw Christ. Here are some predictions on some arbitrarily selected people for the 2013 season:
Patrick Eaves, or "Hat Trick Eaves" as I like to call him because he is a hockey player and I'm one of those rhymin' rappers, will never play hockey again :( Sorry that's just my prediction.
/phone rings/ "Whaddup we're on phonez, this technology shit is crazy!" (That's how I answer the phone.)
"Hi Trevor it's Ans-"
"Sorry hi Tyler it's your friend Ansar Khan, look at what I wrote this morning: 'The long wait is finally over for Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Eaves, who has been cleared to play as the team gets set for the season opener Saturday in St. Louis.'"
"Wow, you just have all the Ansars, don't you, Khan."
"You mother fucker."
Yep that's how I'm spelling it for however long he's here, so deal with it. I might even change it up from time to time, I don't give a hell. But I ain't looking it up I can tell you that. You know what my last name is? Some of you do but in case you don't it is Devereaux. Do you know how many times I've had to strain myself spelling my own name over the phone all these years? I bet it's like 350 at least. So I know a thing or two about being an asshole for having a difficult last name. Do I make a big deal if someone spells it Deveroh? No, and in fact I respect some of those people the most because they're brazen and bold. So yeah anyway I predict that last names are dumb.
After being a journeyman at the center of about 18 trades, he was rewarded with playing a full season as Nick Lidstrom's defense partner. That was probably really cool for him because it made him look better than he actually is. Carlo Cornfellow experienced the same type of deal in St. Louis playing alongside Alex Pietrangelo. So I think the clear answer is to pair these two together. Then they'll get so frustrated that they'll start trying to top one another with practical jokes that will escalate to the point where Babcock has to force Lidstrom out of retirement at gunpoint and we'll all rejoice in his return. That is my prediction for Ian White's season.
Fil is coming off of a monster year in which he blew away his previous career bests in all major offensive categories. His 2013 season will play out in one of three ways: He will regress back closer to his previous career averages; he will be so confident with his breakthrough that he continues at this new pace for a few more years; or he will break his leg in the 3rd game of the season. Isn't that awful of me to say? Did you cringe at all? Man, what a terrible thought. I mean what I write has literally no effect on Fil's upcoming season -- none at all. My words are powerless. So don't freak out but yeah he's going to break his leg.
I predict that he looks like the result of a failed Paul Kariya cloning experiment where they used too much 5 Hour Energy and bleach.
James had a really good rookie season, followed by a meh sophomore season, followed by a really good 3rd season. So given that this is obviously a pattern, and given that he will be playing behind a much ass-y-er group of defensemen this year, he is due for a very meh performance. A Jimmeh performance, that is! He'll be great! Ha I tricked you.
Jiri plays in Calgary now and that is sad. A lot of you hate him because he's not the greatest hockey player and you hate fun things but I am telling you, you are going to miss this guy. He was always good for like 15 unexpected laughs throughout the season that just brightened your little heart and we just might need that this year. Yeah his salary is ridiculous, but he's not the first guy to get paid a lot to not really do a whole bunch other than wobble around and shoot hockey pucks. I predict that Hudler is such a failure in Calgary that they buy him out, he comes crawling on his hands and knees to Ken Holland, and we get what we all truly wanted whether you want to admit it or not: a 3rd Jiri Hudler Era. I'm completely naked right now by the way.
Dude will just be wandering around aimlessly for 5 months with a broom in his hand with that nagging feeling that he's forgetting something.
With the Wings struggling to adjust to post-Lidstrom hockey, Babcock will remain as stubborn as ever and really make no tactical adjustments at all and continue to play the Wings in a faulty system that sees us just miss the playo-whoa holy shit wait this sounds all too possible forget everything and abort
I tweeted that he looks like a grown-up Doug Funny. I also once said that Kyle Quincey looks like a grown-up Chalky Studebaker. I think this means that I am suffering from a type of condition where I want the Red Wings to do some Doug LARP-ing in my living room while I watch in the corner. This would be a very specific and odd condition. Also, Jordin Tootoo is Porkchop.
I was watching Drew Miller during the national anthem at the Red & White game and I thought his hair looked like way greyer than last year. I think we're about 10 months away from Miller dying of old age and then it will be discovered that he had that Robin Williams from Jack thing. Ryan Miller will then be quoted as saying, "This is a fucking waste of time, why are we talking about this? I am edgy and swear in interviews."
(NOTE: I was so certain that I had already made the Drew Miller/Jack joke that I did this. With the quotes and plus signs and everything. In fact, I'm still pretty sure that I did.)
Our beloved Wings will make the playoffs as a bottom-4 seed and lose in the first round. This is a strange thing for me to type because, in my 20 or so years of watching hockey, I have always thought my team was going to win the Stanley Cup. You know what's cool though? I am always wrong. If you don't believe me, just ask my wife /GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAN/
The weirdness of the half season's compressed action will remedy any Cup hangover for the really good L.A. Kings and they'll go back-to-back over the Pittsburgh Penguins in 7 games. I feel very safe in knowing that even before I put the period at the end of this sentence, another hockey-watcher will have made this exact same prediction. Everyone is picking some combination of Kings/Canucks/Hawks and Penguins/Bruins despite hockey being a very luck-driven sport that is impossible to predict and always produces off-the-wall results. Such as: the Red Wings winning the Cup this year! Yeah! Fuck it my new prediction is Detroit over the Islanders.

Stroke - prevention
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or health problem. Some risk factors for stroke you cannot change. Some you can. Changing the risk factors that you have control over will help you live a longer, healthier life.
You cannot change these stroke risk factors.
Blood clots from the heart may travel to the brain and cause a stroke. This may happen in people with manmade or infected heart valves. It may also happen because of a heart defect you were born with.
A very weak heart and some abnormal heartbeats can also cause blood clots.
Some risk factors for stroke that you can change are:
Birth control pills can raise your risk of blood clots. Clots are more likely in women who also smoke and who are older than 35.
Good nutrition is important to your heart health. It will help control some of your risk factors.
Your doctor may suggest taking aspirin or another blood thinner to help prevent blood clots from forming. Do not take aspirin without talking to your doctor first. If you are taking these medicines, take steps to prevent yourself from falling or tripping, which can lead to bleeding.
Follow these guidelines and the advice of your doctor to lower your chances of stroke.
