CORPUS CHRISTI – Jonathan Gonzales of Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball has been named the GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Pepsi. Gonzales earned the award following his Southland Conference performance last week.
Gonzales exploded for three home runs and 10 RBI while hitting .500, slugging 1.056 and getting on base exactly half the time during the week against Houston - Victoria and league-leading Sam Houston State. Gonzales started the week off with a 4-for-4 game with two homers and six RBI to lead the Islanders to victory against UHV.
On Friday against the first place Bearkats, Gonzales hit a sacrifice fly to increase the Islanders lead to the eventual 5-2 winning margin. On Saturday, Gonzales added three hits and two RBI on his third home run of the week, while rounding out the weekend series with a two-hit game and another RBI. Gonzales registered an RBI in each game, and had at least two hits in three of the four games played.
Gonzales and the Islanders will take on Texas - Pan American tonight in the final midweek game of the year. The Broncs travel to Chapman Field for a 6 p.m. first pitch against Texas A&M - Corpus Christi.

One of things I had hoped to accomplish on the internet was for Lynn to demonstrate how easy it is too make doughs, especially pizza doughs. With a webcam we can now make movies, then upload them to Youtube. Both Lynn and I revolt at the taste of store bought processed doughs,(after taste*). I bought her a the kick a__ powerfull KitchenAid mixer a few years ago, she really appreciated it,as she had always done the kneading by hand(great way to tone up the arms, lol) but she told me never give such items on birthdays or Xmas! lol. Women!
* I thought as people age their senses decline, not so with us,lol, finicky would be the word.
oops, turned a comment into blog, sorry:)

I'll admit I'm jealous of people like Lynn, the ones who possess the talent to make dough. I've tried numerous times to make homemade pizza crusts, bread, cinnamon rolls and the like, and I always end up with hockey pucks. I did purchase some yeast last week, so evidently it must be time once again to prove that I'm a failure in that department...lol

Your comment has inspired me to actually produce this video. Let's see, put the web cam on a tripod, laptop computer on or near the countertop, and wala. Lynn uses no measuring devices at all, it's done by sight and feel. I think seeing it "Happen Live" might just be of help for you and for some of her online friends too. I know she has taught her real life friends in the past. I also know the finished dough can be frozen ,so as to have it readily on hand for future pizzas.
If you're not sparking an idea for a blog , you've get me thinking in some direction!
Thanks Mags!:)

Noooo... thank you!
If you can finagle Lynn into posting a dough-making video, I'll belly up and promise to try to duplicate her recipe and technique. deal?

deal! Hopefully you bought "active dry yeast" and always check the expiration dates. Reading my typo(missing word laced)comment is now confusing to me! lol. Some blogs such as yours give me ideas for new blog topics.

UA wins two more at UNI-Dome Classic
Published: Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 11:40 p.m.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa | The top-ranked University of Alabama softball team swept day two of the UNI-Dome Classic on Saturday with an 8-2 win over Drake and a 10-7 victory against Wisconsin-Green Bay.
The Crimson Tide improves to 4-0.
The freshman duo of Haylie McCleney and Andrea Hawkins collected six hits on the day, while junior Jackie Traina and senior Keima Davis drove in three runs apiece. The Crimson Tide stole 15 bases.
Against Drake, Alabama plated eight runs on 13 hits as redshirt junior Lauren Sewell earned the win. Sewell, who is coming back from an injury that cut her 2012 season short, went the distance, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out four.
McCleney and Hawkins paced the Crimson Tide with three hits each. McCleney scored two runs and drove in two while Hawkins scored, drove in a run and stole three bases. Junior Jackie Traina also collected three hits, including a three-run home run.
After UW-Green Bay fought back to tie the score at 7, it took a two-out three-run home run in the seventh inning by senior Keima Davis to secure the second win.
The home run — scoring Courtney Conley and Traina — was the second of the tournament for Davis.
Traina came on in relief for the Crimson Tide and got her second win in as many days. She struck out four and allowed two hits in 2 1/3 innings. UA used all three pitchers in the game.
McCleney, Hawkins and Kayla Braud collected three hits apiece. They combined to steal eight bases.
Alabama will close the tournament with a single game today against North Dakota State at 10 a.m.

A Taste of New York in Sochi
Please, please don't confuse me for a foodie — my current idea of fine dining is eating my baby son's leftover sweet potato dinosaurs — but even this unrefined palate draws the line at Sochi's Brooklyn and "Manhatten" hot dogs. Both variety of hot dogs are available for 200 rubles at Rosa Khutor Extreme Park. Both do culinary injustices to their New York namesakes. The "Manhatten" hot dog is a mixture of fried onions and pickles, a combination which has a crisp potential, but the experience is undone by the hot dog itself, which is bland and neutral and tastes exactly like nothing. The mayo – mayo! — didn't help. It is blah, which neither Manhatten or Manhattan ever is, except Tribeca after 9 p.m.
And the Brooklyn dog? Don't get me started. My borough is the home to Nathan's Famous, territorial about the hot dog game, home to the alarming Fourth of July contest at the boardwalk in which strange people stuff themselves with dog after dog after dog after dog. But this Sochi Brooklyn dog, flecked with bacon and smothered in a cheese bath, was a challenging experience. The cheese was ample and mysterious. My first bite was my last. It did not feel like home.
Still, I don't want to be an ugly New Yorker, a crank, a hot dog pessimist. I remain hopeful in Sochi, on the hunt for Bronx, Queens and Staten Island dogs.

The Danville and San Ramon Library foundations wrapped up their CityReads program with a presentation and signing by national bestselling author Aimee Bender, whose book "The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake" brought joy to Tri-Valley readers this fall.
Nearly 80 people gathered Nov. 7 at the Dougherty Valley Performing Arts Center to engage with Bender in a lively Q-and-A during which members of the audience expressed their gratitude for her work.
Danville Senior Community Library Manager Seng Lovan, in remarks the following day, remembered the comments of one reader whose family experienced healing through their reading of Bender's novel.
"The book resonated with her and her daughter, a pastry chef, because food and desserts were used as a vehicle for the character's development," Lovan said. "One of the great successes of this year's program is that it sparked a lot of discussion."
The thanksgiving sentiment was mutual, as Bender made clear in an interview a week before the celebration.
"It's fantastic! It's a writer's dream. To nurture conversations about books creates an immediate point of contact. I've heard of cities doing this and have always longed to be chosen," she said.
Greeting readers through the veil of fiction means a relationship has formed and a bond has been created, Bender claimed. And connection, even when filled with frustration or a lack of understanding, is her primary preoccupation as a writer.
"I'm a little obsessed with the ways people connect or don't connect," she laughed.
Her award-winning book, about Rose, a young girl able to taste the emotions of other people through the food they create, takes connection into a supernatural realm.
A central character "disappears" into a folding chair and Rose's unsettling capacity to experience sadness, envy, bitterness and contentment through food, remains largely a mystery.
"Some people find it sad, others, comforting," Bender said. "I hear all manner of reactions, but I do object to the idea that madness is one step from imagination. We all have access to wonderfully wild imaginations that are very sane. Imagination is the sensitive way to live in the world. Mental illness is sensitivity that has gone way out of whack because of a chemistry issue."
Bender mentions the fairy tales of Oscar Wilde as a particular influence.
"They're sincere and sad. I learn from him the care in his imagery. I respond to it viscerally, on a gut level. I feel so charmed by him and with his 'The Picture of Dorian Gray,' I admire how he's unafraid of a dark tale," she said.
Bender's earliest memory of reading is foggy, but she believes it revolved around a collection of poems she read with her mother.
"There was one about two raindrops at the top of the window, racing to get to the bottom," she recalled.
In elementary school, her first stories were about kangaroos, bats and unicorns.
"That was me--and nine million other little girls," she joked. "The kangaroo and bat were friends and would go on adventures. The unicorn kissed someone, and that was taboo. I hid that one in my drawer."
Writing is best if it comes in "a spurt," Bender said. "But the spurt runs out: I can't sustain that. The next day, I'm rewriting a lot. I really enjoy the shaping, the cutting."
An English professor at USC Dornsife, Bender encourages her students to revise only when they are drawn back to the work. With "Lemon Cake," she heard "a rumbling" underneath the story of Rose and felt "a pull, like a fish on the end of a line" when she discovered the family dynamic that feeds its way into the novel.
"It took me six months to find it, " she said. "It's a pleasure when you get a tug!"

"Specializing in Bordeaux and Spanish varietals and blends, this is also one of the only wine clubs I would highly recommend joining."
3005 Mines Road, Livermore; www.murrietaswell.com
La Rochelle: "Under the vision of Steven Kent, La Rochelle is producing pretty incredible pinots in the Livermore Valley from some of the best pinot sites in the state. Always an elegant wine to pair with almost anything, it's a nice change of pace to take a break and enjoy glasses of these Burgundy varietals and savor the more laid-back offerings from Livermore Valley."
5443 Tesla Road, Livermore; www.lrwine.com

You are likely to try foreign and local wines that you would never otherwise have the opportunity to experience."
39 S. Livermore Ave., Livermore; www.uncleyuatthevineyard.com
Lunch: Campo di Bocce: "If I'm looking for something a little more low-key with a pint of beer or a cocktail, I would head to Campo di Bocce for good, simple food, a beautiful open patio and a round or two of bocce."

Nia 5 Stages Training
July 1, 2014 To be Determined in to be determined
About the Nia 5 Stages
The Nia 5 Stages is an integrative movement practice based on the five stages of human development: Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Standing and Walking. Practiced with awareness, these stages have the power to facilitate optimal alignment, improved function and comfort in the body. Whether practiced at length or for as little as five minutes a day, this system provides a tool for reclaiming and sustaining mobility, flexibility, strength, agility and stability.
The Nia 5 Stages Training provides students and teachers alike with the tools to embody the practice. It also qualifies Nia teachers to facilitate a 60-minute Nia 5 Stages class and to integrate this body of work into Nia classes, private sessions and two-hour experiential workshops. The Nia 5 Stages Training program adds a whole new skillset to the Nia teacher's realm of expertise. It includes three comprehensive modules: Pre-Training, Training and Post-Training.
Meet the Trainer
Laurie Bass
Laurie is a creative mover, athlete, artist, yogi and member of the Nia Training Faculty as a White Belt and Nia 5 Stages Trainer. Her education includes degrees in Mathematics and Psychology from Pacific University. Laurie lives near Portland, Oregon, home to the international headquarters for the Nia Technique where she teaches classes, workshops and holds trainings both locally at StudioNia/Portland, in Forest Grove, across the states as well as internationally, traveling to Australia, New Zealand and Europe. She passionately shares the pleasure, power, and sense of self-discovery that Nia offers people of all ages.
Laurie's specialty is the profound self-healing, integrative and somatic education program called the Nia 5 Stages, created by Nia founder Debbie Rosas. She has used this development practice to self-heal, strengthen and re-align her spine daily. Laurie has knowledge from the inside out - having supported and worked with Debbie in the development - of the Nia 5 Stages since its inception in 2007, creating its structure for resources, teacher-training and post-training program.
She loves that Nia offers people of all ages a pathway to self-healing, fitness, body education and self-discovery. Nia played a key role in the healing of chronic pain, tendonitis and fatigue accumulated through athletic injury (knee and shoulder surgery) and entrepreneurial stress. Nia taught Laurie to listen to the voice of her body, to slow down, to adapt, accept and heal moment to moment. She acquired skills as a life coach, trained as a yoga teacher, Nia teacher and now Nia Trainer. Her classes, workshops and trainings are filled with passion, fun, grace, creativity, skill, acceptance and dynamic presence. Students leave feeling re-energized, grounded, empowered and connected after class.
Laurie thoroughly enjoys traveling, photography, film, and connecting with Nia communities worldwide.

3.11-4 Libel Per Se
Revised to January 1, 2008
Certain written defamatory
statements are considered to be so harmful in and of themselves that the
person to whom they relate is entitled to recover general damages for injury
to reputation, without proving that any special or actual damages were
caused by the statements. These defamatory statements are called libel per
se. Libel per se is a type of libel in which the defamatory meaning is
apparent on the face of the statement.
When the defamatory words are
libel per se, the law conclusively presumes that there is injury to the
plaintiff's reputation. The plaintiff is not required to prove that
(his/her) reputation was damaged. The plaintiff is entitled to recover, as
general damages, for the injury to (his/her) reputation and for the
humiliation and mental suffering caused by the libel.
In this case, the plaintiff claims
that <insert allegations>.
If you find that the plaintiff has
proven each of the elements of libel, as I have previously instructed you,
then this would be libel per se because <insert as appropriate:>
It charges one
with a crime.
It charges one
with improper conduct or lack of skill in (his/her) profession and is likely
to injure (him/her) in (his/her) profession or calling.

Whether a published article is

Rich and Creamy Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Unraveling the mysteries of home cooking through science.
- Yield:8 to 10
- Active time:20 minutes
- Total time:1 hour
This recipe appears in:3 Ways to Make Delicious Mashed Potatoes in Advance The Food Lab: Ultra-fluffy or Rich and Creamy Mashed Potatoes
If you like your potatoes rich and creamy instead of fluffy, the key is to allow them to retain some of their starch by cooking them directly in their jackets. Using a ricer followed by a whip in a stand mixer guarantees ultra-smooth results. For an even smoother puree, pass the potatoes through a chinois or tamis.
- 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed
- 16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 pint heavy cream
- up to 1 cup low-sodium chicken stock (optional)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Place potatoes in Dutch oven or large stockpot. Cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and reduce to simmer. Cook until tender and no resistance is met when potatoes are poked with paring knife.
Carefully peel potatoes under cool running water. Peels should slip off easily. Transfer potatoes to large bowl as you peel them. Pass potatoes through ricer or food mill set over bowl of stand mixer. Add melted butter and half of cream to potatoes.
Whip on low speed using paddle attachment until cream and butter are incorporated, about 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and whip until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Adjust to desired consistency with more cream and/or chicken stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm until serving.

Until only a few years ago, big-name jazz bands routinely would come through town for a week at a time, settling into a local club. But the economics of jazz (like the economics of everything) have changed. So when trumpeter Roy Hargrove arrived Wednesday for a five-night stand with his quintet at Yoshi's in San Francisco, his presenters gave it a special name: a "residency."
Well, the Roy Hargrove residency began late; there was the sense through the evening that clockwork Yoshi's can't quite handle the popular trumpeter, who is a character. After a 20 minute wait, and without introduction, he and the band wandered onstage for Wednesday's early show, with Hargrove commenting, in a raspy whisper, on the rarity of the Al Green track still playing on the PA system. (He's a famous connoisseur of jazz, R&B and hip-hop; has entire catalogues in his head.)
Then the band rattled, a little messily, into Hargrove's "The Stinger." But like a picture tightening into focus, the tune started to deliver its message: Hargrove has a young rhythm section that kicks and kicks; doesn't let go of a groove. And for the next 90 minutes, over the course of a dozen tunes -- Hargrove wouldn't stop playing, even with the late-show crowd lined up outside -- the show gathered a soulful momentum, often very quietly. Which is how Hargrove, 43, played everything, whether hard bop or one of his jazz/hip-hop anthems: softly, even at a whisper, like his speaking voice.
Never did he summon the brassy, whip-snap bravura with which he made his name a couple of decades ago; one wondered if he was physically capable of it. Rather, often playing with his eyes closed, listening and waiting, he would grab onto snatches of drum rhythm, riding on a note or two, spinning stripped-down melodies or finding a telling blues phrase, revealing a story.
He appeared vulnerable. Yet he was as musical as ever, and kept calling on that catalogue of tunes in his head. In the midst of his solos, out would pop flashes of Fats Navarro or Oscar Pettiford -- bits of tunes that basically no one plays or even references anymore, except Roy Hargrove.
The band performed vintage ballads, along with off-the-beaten-path tunes by McCoy Tyner and Cedar Walton and numerous originals by Hargrove, including "Turn 'em Off," his crafty re-make of Benny Carter's "When Lights Are Low."
It was a beauty: the close harmonies of Hargrove and alto saxophonist Justin Robinson; the old-school swing of Hargrove's pithy muted solo; and the way Robinson, in his solo, grabbed one plump note after the next, like Carter or Johnny Hodges. There's a lot of history in Robinson's horn. On other tunes, he played Coltrane blizzards or went dive-bombing on a slant, something like Eric Dolphy.
And about the rhythm section: Pianist Sullivan Fortner, bassist Ameen Saleem and drummer Quincy Phillips know exactly what they're up to, cleaving to set arrangements, but with an on-the-fly sensibility. Wednesday, Sullivan was the key: sitting in a slouch at a slight angle to the keyboard, he approached each tune and solo from a fresh perspective, sketching and jabbing, opening up ideas, then weaving elegant structures. There's blues and the church in his playing, tempered by restraint; he harks back to players like Hampton Hawes or Phineas Newborn Jr. (And he's only 26.)
Maybe two-thirds of the way through the set, Hargrove played a ballad medley on flugelhorn: "Rouge," "Never Let Me Go." The room grew dangerously quiet. The sound of Hargrove's breath came through the horn, which he set down to sing "Never Let Me Go," accenting key words with a shake of vibrato, cutting to the quick:
At the very start, all my bridges burned/by my flaming heart.
You'd never leave me, would you?
You couldn't hurt me, could you?
Never let me go.
Never let me go.

At Waitrose, we believe that you should be able to shop for a fair price without compromising on either quality or service. We know price is really important, and that's why we put so much effort into getting it right. We have been regularly checking the prices of some of our competitors since 2006, and from 27th September 2010 we committed to be the same price as Tesco - using them as a benchmark for the supermarket industry - on 1000 everyday branded products, week in, week out. As from May 2012, our prices on branded grocery products are identical to those at Tesco, excluding promotions. As you would expect from Waitrose, there are no gimmicks, no coupons to redeem against a later shop, and no need to check your receipt online. We simply match the prices on the shelf, so you benefit immediately when you pay.
We do this by regularly checking www.tesco.com for the price of branded products that both Tesco and Waitrose sell. Tesco prices are checked on-line at www.tesco.com for a postcode served by large Tesco stores, so prices checked will exclude Tesco Metro and Tesco Express.
Everyday branded products are selected from our food and drink grocery ranges. Standard retail prices are matched on identical branded products at www.tesco.com. This excludes own-label lines, multi-buys and temporary promotions or any other special offers. In line with our responsible approach to selling alcohol, we will not price match on any alcohol product where to do so would mean selling below cost. If Tesco has an item on a multi-buy promotion (for example, 'buy one get one free'), we will still match the single unit selling price of the item but not offer the free product. If Tesco reduce the price of a product which is pending temporary promotion within Waitrose we remove the product from the selection of products on which we price match.
We re-check prices twice a week, and make necessary changes during two working days. So for example, if Tesco were to change a price the day after we carry out a price check, we would pick this up on the next price check day and then match the price within two working days. If we can no longer find a product on the Tesco.com website, we will continue to match the last Tesco price for 28 days and then we will conclude that Tesco no longer stock the product, at which point it stops being part of the selection of products on which we price match.
The offer does not apply to Little Waitrose stores or Waitrose stores in the Channel Islands, or to Welcome Break and Shell concessions.
However, our commitment to value is about much more than competitive prices, it's about all those extra things that are worth a lot - like great customer service, or feeling confident that the product you've just bought will taste delicious, and the knowledge that we source responsibly.
We may withdraw the Waitrose Brand Price Match offer at any time without notice.
For further information on the price comparison please contact Customer Services and Support at Waitrose, Bracknell, Berkshire RG12 8YA.

Get an alert when new Buddy Whittington dates are announced
Buddy Whittington is an American guitarist. He began playing the guitar inspired by his sister's records of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and, in particular, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton. At the age of 14 he was already a part of the Dallas/Fort Worth music scene and playing regularly in the clubs along Jacksboro Highway. During the early 1980s, he formed and sang with his own band 'The Sidemen'. In 1991 they opened for John Mayall and when Coco Montoya left the Bluesbreakers in 1993, Mayall called him to take his place in the band. 2008 saw the release of his first solo album and tour in Europe with his UK-based band, Pete Stroud on Bass and Darby Todd on drums.

A poem by Craig Nelson. "The Death Star." loca
The Death Star
I find a pile of short stories I wrote when I was twelve and younger,
some written in crayon.
I usually stay away from my older work,
but today I read through them.
And come upon a similar thread.
I was a very adventurous creater of plots,
only I would write them before I knew how to resolve them.
Which led to the development of what I call:
Taoist Plot Resolution.
I was really into Sci-Fi.
In one story, Super Astronaut Craig,
took a spaceship to Uranus
(didn't know that joke yet)
where there were aliens.
Both the aliens and Super Astronaut Craig
had guns,
but the aliens couldn't speak English
so they couldn't figure out
whether to be friends or not,
so I wrote
'Super Astronaut Craig couldn't understand the aliens.
He decided to see if the aliens could learn English really fast.
They did.
Then they had a discussion.'
I was halfway through another story
which made use of a death star,
when I realized there was a famous movie
which made use of a death star, too.
I fixed this in one sentence:
And so the death star-
which was unlike any other death star-
moved towards the planet.
In a different story, Space Ranger Greg
finds himself in a predicament.
He's caught by the aliens,
who put him in a tank of water with no surface,
where all the walls have spikes on them,
and are closing in,
and there are sharks in the tanks,
and the aliens are all pointing guns at him
in case he tries anything funny.
I wrote,
'Space Ranger Greg looked around..
didn't know what to do.
Then, just as everything was about to kill him,
Space Ranger Greg escaped the trap
in a way so incredible you wouldn't believe it!'
I'm reading the dusty yellowed papers,
and the reason I'm here in the first place
is because I'm not having a great day.
I decide to model my life using
Taoist Plot Resolution.
I don't have a job.
So I get a job as a CEO for General Electric.
My girlfriend is vegan and I'm not,
but we had a discussion and now its okay.
I'm locked out of my car,
but I have one of those British cars,
so I open it.
My computer crashes-
I through it into my neighbors pool four stories down,
now it's fine.
I find myself without a girlfriend,
so I go to a poetry reading,
read a love poem
and get one.
Collection agencies are at my door
wanting the money for my student loans.
I escape them in a way you wouldn't believe.
I want to be a writer
but can't seem to get it together.
I'm about to be sued by Visa,
and I could really use my own tropical island.
So I write the great American poem,
and win the Bill Gates billion dollar poetry contest.

He's a friend of mine from the RI/MA area. He sent me this poem and asked me to give a blurp for his new book.
what I will say is "Craig's poem made people on my messageboard happy"
haha. I like Craig. Ever since I involved myself in the RI poetry scene, his name always comes up as one of the top writers.

craig nelson!! coach?!?! the tao of luther?!
taoist plot resolution!
that is such a bitch for me...
i read a chapter of the Tao Te Ching each morning and go through the day with it fresh in my mind. then i cycle back through and do the same, and the result is always different. its weird how you come across so many things that are so fitting (or seem to be in some subjective manner). and no, in no way whatsoever do i call myself a taoist, buddhist, hindu, etc. anyhow... this was this morning's:
Chapter Eight
The sage's way,
is the way of water.
There must be water for life to be,
and it can flow wherever.
And water, being true to being water
is true
to Tao.
Those on the Way of Tao, like water
need to accept where they find themselves;
and that may often be where water goes
to the lowest places, and that is right.
Like a lake
the heart must be calm and quiet
having great depth beneath it.
The sage rules with compassion,
and his word needs to be trusted.
The sage needs to know like water
how to flow around the blocks
and how to find the way through without violence.
Like water, the sage should wait
for the moment to ripen and be right:
water, you know, never fights
it flows around
without harm.
"I decide to model my life using
Taoist Plot Resolution"
that is the funniest thing by far

Transmission is a free, lightweight BitTorrent client. It features a simple, intuitive interface on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end.
Transmission sets initial preferences so things "Just Work", while advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocking, and the web interface can be configured with just a few clicks. Macworld put it this way: "It's fast, it's extremely lightweight, and â" even though it's available for a variety of platforms â" it behaves just as you'd expect a Mac program to."
Transmission supports full encryption, file selection, a web-based interface, groups, peer exchange, automatic port forwarding, webseeds, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
Its code is freely available online and is licensed under either the GNU Public License v2 or the MIT License. The development team welcomes anyone who is interested in contributing code, documentation, translations, or other help.

0.7 is out. All I can say is wow. I shied away from using Transmission before but this release is really good.
Please contribute to the bounty for encryption.
If we get encryption in Transmission, Xtorrent will have it as well. I think that's well worth it.
Been using it for quite a while in lieu of bigger, badder alternatives.
It often downloads quicker than the alternatives in my experience. Even vs Azureus. And as to it being banned on trackers, I've never come across it. I keep hearing about it, and it keeps working everywhere I need it to.
* shrug *
That said, I truly truly wish uTorrent would make a Mac build. Nothing has ever been even remotely as fast as uTorrent.
Okay, so 0.7 is still in development. Why is this now called 0.7? It's not out yet!
The new version 0.7 is in developement, and it looks good. Check out here : http://chucker.mystfans.com/opensource/transmission/Transmission-latest.dmg
So, I'm wondering when the next version is coming out. According to the website, their last release was on June 25 of 2006. That's pretty much half a year ago. And yet, all the releases before 0.6.1 didn't take as long to release. The only way that one would know that it's development is continuing is if you were to take a look at their nightly build section:
Pay no attention to the comments below the first few. Transmission is great and does work on Demonoid. The bugs to my knowledge have been fixed and it's worked perfectly for me.
All of the mentioned 'bugs' (bar one) have been fixed in the nightly version, and the remaining issue is in the process of being sorted out.
I found another Transmission bug- it somehow keeps lots of connections open in CLOSE_WAIT state. This eventually makes it impossible to open new connections so the app has to be restarted. No other client I have used has this problem.
This is BANNED on the following trackers:
and virtually every other private tracker out there. What's worse is, reading the forums, the authors have refused to fix the problem over the years.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.

IEA and Eight Countries Launch Electric Vehicles Initiative
The International Energy Agency (IEA) joined China, France, Germany, Japan, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, and the United States in launching the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI) on October 1 at the Paris Motor Show in France. The new initiative will provide a platform for global cooperation on the development and deployment of electric vehicles. The EVI began at the Clean Energy Ministerial that was held in Washington, D.C., in July 2010; it was cemented during IEA's Advanced Vehicle Leadership Forum, a two-day roundtable on electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids that was held at the Paris Motor Show. Countries participating in the EVI have agreed to promote EV demonstrations in urban area and share the results; to share information on EV research and development programs; and to collect and share information on EV deployment targets, best practices, and policies. The participating countries will present more detailed plans at Electric Vehicle Symposium-25 in Shenzhen, China, in November, and initial EVI results are planned for presentations at the Shanghai Motor Show in April 2011. See the IEA press release.
The Jaguar C-X75 concept vehicle, unveiled at the Paris Motor Show, is an electric supercar that extends its range with two natural gas-fueled microturbines.
The venue for launching the EVI was appropriate, as the Paris Motor Show featured a wide variety of electrified vehicles. Jaguar wowed crowds with the C-X75 concept vehicle, an electric supercar that extends its range to 560 miles using two natural gas-fueled microturbines. The supercar draws on a lithium-ion battery pack to power 145-kilowatt (kW) motors mounted in all four wheels, achieving 780 horsepower and 1,180 foot-pounds of torque. And while the C-X75 is just a concept vehicle, Fisker Automotive unveiled the production version of its Karma, a premium plug-in hybrid that generates 300 kW of power and more than 981 foot-pounds of torque. The Karma has a 50-mile electric-only range that is extended to 300 miles with a turbocharged, four-cylinder engine. The engine drives a generator to power two 175-kW motors that are mounted to the rear differential. Other electrified vehicles of interest include Hyundai's ix35 diesel-electric hybrid concept vehicle; Saab's first EV, the 9-3 ePower, which will undergo field trials next year; and a tiny three-seat EV concept vehicle from Kia Motors, called the POP. The Paris Motor Show is open to the public through October 17. See the Paris Motor Show Web site and the press releases from Jaguar, Fisker Automotive, Hyundai, Saab, and Kia.

STOCKTON - An alert citizen helped authorities apprehend two men who attempted to rob and shoot a 17-year-old boy Monday in Weston Ranch, police said.
The boy was near Henry Long Boulevard and McCuen Avenue when he was approached by two people, one of whom pointed a handgun at the boy while the other told him not to move, police said. One of the assailants fired a shot at the boy as he ran away, but the boy was not hurt, officers said.
A citizen who witnessed the attack followed the assailants from a distance until police arrived. One of the assailants was armed with a loaded .40-caliber pistol, while the other was found in possession of .40-caliber ammunition, police said.

This problem occurs the same on all of my computers, Dell 1501 laptop, Intel DG35EC & DG31GL motherboards. All with up-to-date Ubuntu 9.04.
I made a fresh install on the DG31GL, thinking that the problem would go away. It persists on the new install.
This problem started at some point after upgrading to 9.04. It was not apparent in 8.10.
Start QCAD, open Application preferences dialog, drag mouse pointer over check box text. The check box text area becomes blacked out.
Line width on layer 0 is set to .25mm.
Draw some lines intersecting or not.
Zoom in to screen width less than 1.7 inches.
Lines start to disappear. The more you zoom in, the more lines disappear.
Yes, the lines are still in the center of the screen.
They appear temporarily when the mouse pointer is moved over them.
Anyone else have this problem?
Anyone know how to fix it?

How do you know when you've found the right workout? "The right exercise should be relaxing, get you in a hyper-aware state from endorphins, get your mind wandering, make you feel good, vital, and youthful, and leave you sore, but a good sore," says Vokshoor.

This article does a nice job at pointing out hurtles in adopting a lifestyle of working out. It does not however emphasize the lifestyle changes needed to keep fit beyond working out. Simply creating habits like walking a mile to work from the bus stop and going out of your way to be thoughtful of the food you eat, makes a much greater difference in health than a rigorous work out regime without lifestyle change.

PARKERSBURG - Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie spoke Tuesday to Parkersburg City Council, asking members to call state legislators in support of home rule.
McKenzie has been mayor of Wheeling for more than four years and was a state senator for 12 years. Wheeling is one of four cities in West Virginia authorized to participate in the state's Home Rule Pilot Program, and that program is set to expand to include four more cities.
Mayor Bob Newell has asked council to consider applying for the Home Rule Pilot Program.

Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie speaks Tuesday to Parkersburg City Council, asking members to call state legislators in support of home rule.
McKenzie said he will be conducting a home rule workshop this weekend at the West Virginia Municipal League's Mid Winter Conference. Newell said several council members will be in attendance.
Home rule "empowers the citizens that live in your community and allows you to govern locally, and I think that is the best way to explain home rule," McKenzie said.
McKenzie said several of the changes Wheeling made under home rule, such as reducing licensing fees and the number of licenses required, are changes now being considered by the state for all municipalities.
"That means home rule has been working," he said.
McKenzie encouraged the council as a whole and individual council members to contact state legislators and the governor's office and encourage them to allow more cities to have home rule.
He also urged council to apply to be part of the Home Rule Pilot Program when it expands, and warned them many other cities also are hoping to apply.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 6, 8, 10 or more cities come forward wanting to be a part of this," he said. "I think it is going to be more competitive than you think."
During Tuesday's meeting, Newell presented city council with Parkersburg's 2013-14 budget, giving a brief overview.
Newell said projected revenues remain flat, but due to savings through cuts and attrition, there are some dollars within the budget which should go to equipment and raises.
"Wages have remained low to a point where we can't even attract employees in the skilled labor positions, such as electricians, mechanics, firemen and policemen," he said. "We have five employees still below the national poverty level.
"If we plan to continue running lean with the new reduced number of employees over time, then we have to be able to keep our current experienced employees from leaving over low wages."
Newell also announced $1 million budgeted for street resurfacing, which is in addition to routine maintenance and $300,000 in storm water funds. He announced hotel tax revenue would be used for events, such as Parkersburg Homecoming and the Multicultural Festival, rather than being funneled into city parks through the general fund.
"This year I have created line items to specifically address those events that actually are a tourist drawing attraction," he said.
Council will reconvene as the Committee of the Whole at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 19 for the first round of budget hearings. Three budget meetings are planned.

Chevron makes deepwater find
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:17 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:17 a.m.
Chevron Corp. has hit oil at its Coronado prospect in the Gulf of Mexico, officials said.
The well, about 190 miles off the Louisiana coast, sits under 6,128 feet of water and is drilled to a depth of 31,866 feet.
The results are still being evaluated, and additional work is needed to determine the extent of the resource, according to a Chevron news release.
David Dismukes, associate director of LSU's Center for Energy Studies, said the discovery, along with another large by Anadarko and partners at its Shenadoah prospect last week, bode well for the local offshore service industry.

Danity Kane seemed well on its way to becoming one of the top "girl groups" of the 21st century.
It certainly got off to a flashy start, having formed on the third season of MTV's "Making the Band" in 2005 and then landing a deal with Bad Boy Records.
Its 2006 eponymous debut went platinum, with a follow-up affair -- 2008's "Welcome to the Dollhouse" -- reaching gold certification.
Yet, the group called it quits in 2009, right as the marketing machine behind it was really starting to heat up.
Now, Danity Kane is back in business and will launch its comeback tour on Friday at the Fillmore in San Francisco.
Show time is 9 p.m. and tickets are $50, www.livenation.com.
Lindsey Stirling is an absolute sensation.
The artist, widely known as the "Hip-Hop Violinist," made a ton of fans on the fifth season of "America's Got Talent."
She didn't win that TV talent competition -- but she certainly seems to be winning over the Internet. Notably, her YouTube channel, dubbed Lindseystomp, has over 4 million subscribers.
Now, she hopes her success on the web will translate to the concert stage.
Stirling performs Friday and Saturday at the Warfield in San Francisco. Dia Frampton opens. Show times are 8 p.m. and tickets are $30-$40, and going fast, www.axs.com.

Get Excited: Your Ceremony Music Problems Just Got Solved
Three cheers for supporting women who slay!
Planning a modern, intentional wedding ceremony generally involves navigating where and when to go traditional versus personal—whether that's figuring out how to add individuality to a formal ballroom wedding, or how to make sure your backyard BBQ feels as momentous as the commitment you're making to each other—and choosing ceremony music is one way to solve this (timeless) problem. Music can communicate so much—your feelings for your partner, your memories with family and friends—and your choice of music can say, "This is what this day is about for us." That means you'll tend to want to select music that has special meaning to you as a couple, or to your family and friends.…Keep Reading

Almost one week after opening the state's health insurance exchange, officials with Covered California on Tuesday called the response "nothing short of phenomenal.''
At a morning news conference in Sacramento, Covered California Executive Director Peter Lee reported that 16,311 households had completed applications for health insurance, while 27,305 others had established accounts and partially completed their applications.
"We started strong the first week,'' Lee said. "The response of consumers has underscored the demand.''
He said more than 978,000 individuals had visited the coveredca.com website, spending time and researching their options, while 59,000 calls were logged at two of the state's three call centers that are currently staffed.
Call waiting times that started out at about 30 minutes last Tuesday when the exchange rolled out were reduced to 15 minutes by mid-week and down to 4 minutes on Friday. On Saturday, he said, the average time was 30 seconds, which is Covered California's goal.
Lee also noted that 400 small businesses expressed interest in a special program designed for them that could offer tax credits.
"These big numbers are proof of the pent-up demand for coverage in California and also around the nation,'' said Lee, who emphasized that it's not about the numbers "but about the real people's lives that are being touched.''

With no chance for preparation, she was called upon to handle a situation she never in her worst nightmares could have imagined, with no guidebook or protocols on how to proceed.
But for all the horror of the situation - in which a troubled young man gunned down his mother as she lay in bed, then drove to the school and executed 20 first-graders and six educators - it was not the first time a public official faced such an unthinkable scenario.
In fact, for a very select group of local elected officials across the country, it has become all too familiar.
As the grim news poured in from Newtown that day in mid-December, all Aurora, Colo., Mayor Steve Hogan could think to himself was "Oh God, not again."
It had been almost five months to the day since the Aurora theater shootings that left 12 dead and 70 injured as moviegoers packed into a sold out premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises." Hogan - who found HIS life forever changed that day - and his sprawling suburban Denver community were still trying to heal.
"It just appeared so incomprehensible and I had that same surreal experience that brought me back to July 20," Hogan said of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. "And to see it was all mostly children just amplified it even more and my heart just sank.
In the hours and days that followed the mass shooting in Aurora, Hogan had received advice and words of comfort from dozens of leaders nationwide as he and his city grappled with unspeakable tragedy. Much of it proved useful.
"So I just began to type and I sent the first selectwoman an e-mail expressing our deepest sympathies from Aurora, Colo.," said Hogan. He said he also had offered words of comfort and advice to Oak Creek, Wis., Mayor Steve Scaffidi after a gunman opened fire at a Sikh Temple in that community, killing six people and injuring three on Aug. 5.
"I also expressed to her she needs to really to look to needs of the city from victims to first responders, these individuals will forever be changed by what they saw in that school and now must live with each day for the rest of their lives," Hogan said.
"There's going to be lasting effects for a wide range of people in that community."
From the very start, Llodra has had the support and guidance of distant counterparts such as Hogan, Scaffidi and Tucson, Ariz., Mayor Jonathan Rothschild to help her deal with a range of issues after the shootings.
On Jan. 8, 2011, a gunman opened fire in a Tucson supermarket where U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was meeting with constituents, killing six people and injuring 11, including Giffords.
"Steve Hogan reached out to me very early on. I got a personal phone message from him. I got several letters from him of support," Llodra said. "I don't know that I've ever had an actual conversation with him" but "he let me know that he understands the perspective ... because he, too, found himself dealing with this horror ... helping a community heal ... trying to understand everyone's point of view," she said.
What also is striking about the communication from Hogan "is the similarity to (the advice from) almost every other community I've had, from folks that have dealt with these same issues," Llodra said.
Following the Dec. 14 attack, "all of us as leaders who have had this experience and many, many, others are really trying to address these issues of gun control and mental health."
The communication to Llodra from Tucson Mayor Rothschild "stands out in its similarity to Steve's," she said. "That mayor is calling for the same kinds of things that I'm calling for, and he's calling for it in a state where that is not the position of state government."
Hogan, meanwhile, "understands that the solution for Newtown has to be Newtown-specific ... and I really appreciate that - and I'm finding that it's the same with other leaders," Llodra said.
All of the other leaders have stressed "the importance of community voice, of letting the community talk about it ... and giving people that chance to grow, to heal," she said.
All of the other leaders also are telling her, "You have to have a belief that your community will heal. ... You have to understand that that solution is out there, and that you will reach it," even if there's "an ebb and flow along the way, Llodra said.
Each of them also "stress the importance of taking care of myself," including the need "to get enough rest," she said.
Hogan said his advice to both Llodra and Scaffidi was similar to what he received from Rothschild and Jonesboro, Ark., Mayor Harold Perrin, who leads a community that was deeply affected by a March 24, 1998, mass shooting that killed five people and injured 29.
"What I had received from those individuals who lived in those communities and had experienced tragic shootings was invaluable," Hogan said. "And I just felt a sense of responsibility to pass it along to Newtown and Oak Creek because we're all tied together in having to deal with such sorrow."
Hogan said that time will only help her and Newtown.
"Each day is different and members of the community mourn differently," Hogan said. "They, like Aurora, will just have to take life one day at a time." Call Mark Zaretsky at 203-789-5722.
