Hi! This is my first time posting to this website. I am a breast cancer survivor currently in treatment, but my question is regarding my grandmother who was just diagnosed. She is 88, in good health for her age, and has papillary carcinoma. The tumor is about 3cm, ER, PR Her 2 status still pending as is lymph node involvement. She consulted with an oncologist today who recommended neo-adjuvant chemo to reduce tumor size, then surgery, then more chemo. I know a fair bit about this process as I have been/am currently going through treatment and I feel this is a little aggressive considering her age. Am I wrong? When I mentioned her diagnosis to my onco and rad onco, both of them mentioned surgery and hormonal therapy if she is ER+. Came as quite a shock to hear her onco make such an aggressive suggestion. Just curious what others think... Thank you in advance!!!READ MORE
If the women in your grandmother's family often live well into their 90's and if your grandmother is a vigorous 88, then she might want to go for the chemo. However, "good health for her age" suggests to me that the surgery plus possible hormonal treatments makes more sense. Ultimately this decision needs to be your grandmother's. If she still has life goals that she wants to achieve and if she is willing to go through the rigors of chemo for the possibility of a longer life, then she should have the right to give it a try. As you and I know from going through chemo, there will be a decline in energy that may be hard to spring back from. I can't imagine choosing chemo at age 88, and I'm quite sure that my mother who is 89 would not do it.

TUKWILA, Wash. -- What began as an argument over a $2 toy between a customer and store employees ended with a man shot and a police dog stabbed on Monday night.
Investigators said trouble began when a man got into a scuffle with employees at the Tukwila Trading Company over the toy around 8 p.m.
When officers arrived at the store at 3725 South 144th Street, the man ran off, jumping over several fences to get away.
Police finally caught up with the man at a nearby housing complex. Witnesses say officers then opened fire.
"They Tased him and he went down," said witness Rocky Ruvo. "And then they let the dog go on him. And then somebody said - I didn't see a knife - but somebody said he had pulled a knife and slashed at the dog. And while he was down, that's when the officer pulled his gun and shot the subject twice."
Police said when the man refused to stop being violent, an officer shot him in the leg.
"Other officers were very close by and tried other means to try to subdue the man," said Tukwila police spokesman Mike Murphy. "They were unsuccessful and eventually had to shoot him to stop the threat to themselves and others."
The police dog, a German shepherd named Gino, was stabbed in the neck during the scuffle and seriously injured, officials said.
Investigators don't know why the man ran from them, but insist he was a threat. A friend of the suspect could not explain why the man ran either.
"He ran. OK, he did," said Mimi Teketse. "They told him to stop. He didn't stop."
Teketse says she and the man who was shot were planning to make tacos for dinner before the fight erupted at the supermarket.
"We all make mistakes. It was $1.99 balls. I said I was going to pay for it. There was no reason for him to be shot at all," she said.
The shot man, as well as the stabbed dog, were taken into surgery on Monday night. The man's condition is not known.
Dr. Paul Schauvin with Five Corners Animal Hosptial in Burien said early Tuesday that the police dog was in stable condition.
He said the dog's surgery lasted about four hours and vets needed to repair a 4-inch puncture wound in his neck.
Gino is expected to make a full recovery, Schauvin said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I'm an I/T contract instructor for a junior college in the US, primarily
teaching CompTIA courses for continuing education folks, but also doing
some contract work with the government. That being said, I've had the
opportunity to run Ubuntu head to head with both XP and Vista, and to
have Ubuntu access full NTFS4/5 networks, wirelessly, without incident.
In the long run, all 4 (W2K, XP, Vista and Ubuntu) and "ok" operating
systems -- none really perfect. Each has its strengths and its flaws.
Actually, at best, Ubuntu is now about where WNT4 was in 1977 -- good,
but "not yet ready for grandma." It'll get there, soon, I'm sure, but
not just yet...
I come down against Vista only because of its "disrupt-o-meter"
requirements for heavier/newer hardware and higher costs; and praise
Ubuntu because its relatively free, and it'll run on damned near
anything. But that's about it.
I sought out Linux/Ubuntu as a way to depart M$'s high costs and
penchants for reporting everything back to the M$ mothership, but that's
about it. I gather that most folk who've made the switch did so for
similar reasons. So, why all the flap? An OS is what it is -- a way to
interface with a computer...
Why can we not enjoy and share our discoveries and leave the flack for
other venues?

A month after he was stabbed and beaten in a mob attack on South Padre Island, Brookhaven College student Derek Madrigal returned to the school Tuesday to a warm welcome from students and faculty.
"I'm happy to be back and see some familiar faces," the 21-year-old said. "I'm just surprised I'm up walking and doing some normal things."
Madrigal was attacked March 17 when he tried to defend a female friend who was being bullied, police say. About a dozen people beat him with coolers and stabbed him in a bloody melee caught on video.
"I would do it over again," he said about helping the girl. "There is no doubt in my mind."
He visited the Farmers Branch campus Tuesday to withdraw from the journalism and kinesiology courses he missed while recovering from nine stab wounds and a collapsed lung.
"Obviously we wish he was back at school today joining us again," said Thom Chesney, vice president at Brookhaven College. "But he has got an amazing work ethic, and this absence won't be a setback for him."
South Padre police arrested a San Antonio man shortly after the attack, and nine alleged gang members were taken into custody this month, charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and organized criminal activity.
"We should know shortly when they will go to trial, within the next few weeks," said Frank Madrigal, Derek's father.
While the ordeal has put a strain on the family, Frank Madrigal said it's also a testament to his son's fortitude.
"It's difficult because the recovery as much as anything is a reminder of the road we have had to travel," he said, "but it also shows his great strength."
Meanwhile, Derek Madrigal promises his studies won't be on hold for long.
"I didn't want to drop out," he said, "but I have plans to come back."

New York Comic Con 2012: What You Need to Know
No, the west side of midtown Manhattan hasn't been taken over by zombies, hobbits, superheroes and monsters. It's just going to seem that way from now through Sunday.
New York Comic Con opens today, as 100,000-plus attendees – more than a few in lavish, outrageous costumes – descend on Manhattan's Jacob Javits Center to meet their favorite artists and performers; hear about what's coming in comics, science fiction, fantasy and horror; and buy all manner of comics, graphic novels, books, video games, toys, DVDs and collectibles.
It's become the second-biggest such convention in the U.S., after San Diego's Comic-Con International – and, in the words of Lance Fensterman, who manages the convention, it's "a big circus."
"It is a massive celebration of all things pop culture," Fensterman said by phone earlier this week, as he scrambled to get things ready. "Geeks and pop culture have come of the basement, they've gone mainstream."
About 1,600 exhibitors will be on the convention floor selling and promoting their wares. More than 700 professionals from comics, entertainment and publishing will be appearing – highlighted by panels and autograph sessions featuring the casts of TV shows like "The Walking Dead," "666 Park Avenue" and "Arrow"; actors from coming films like the remakes of "Carrie" and "Evil Dead"; and pop-culture celebrities like Carrie Fisher from "Star Wars," Adam West and Burt Ward from the "Batman" TV show, author Anne Rice, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and many, many others.
There will also be a kick-off concert from the Ben Folds Five; a special anniversary celebration for Spider-Man, who turns 50 this year; costume contests; a day of special events for kids; and "sci-fi speed dating," seeking to create love matches between like-minded geeks.
Tickets to the convention are sold out, and Fensterman expects attendance of 115,000 or more, up from 105,000 last year.
While a lot of the attendees may be dressed as Avengers, Wookiees, or Japanese anime characters, these geeks spend money: Fensterman estimates the convention's economic impact on New York City as $60 million to $70 million, with $10 million to $15 million changing hands on the convention floor.
Among other things, the convention gives the two top comics companies, Marvel Comics and DC Entertainment, a major gathering for their fans, artists and writers in the companies' hometown of New York. "It's exhausting. It's a lot easier to go visit a town and leave at the end of the show," laughs Dan DiDio, DC's co-publisher.
The convention illustrates how comic-book companies these days have their hands in much more than comics, DiDio said – at the convention, DC will be promoting its efforts in TV, collectibles, video games and other ventures in addition to comics. "We're looking into so many different areas."
The growing popularity of events like New York Comic Con, and the growing reach of comics into pop culture, "speaks to the power of the characters - at the end of the day, these stories resonate," said Axel Alonso, Marvel's editor-in-chief. The convention "provides an outlet to see what all the fuss is about."

Christopher Walken Tells Jon Stewart About Tap Dance Cops ... Again
Originally published on Fri June 13, 2014 10:44 am
On Thursday night, Christopher Walken told Jon Stewart that he's from Queens, and where he grew up, it's common for police officers to send their kids to tap school. You'll hear the story at the 5:40 mark.
This story sounded awfully familiar, despite how shocked and delighted Jon Stewart seemed. Stewart, in fact, responded like he was hearing it for the very first time, even though ... well. Head to the 2:00 mark.
It just goes to show you: you don't have to have new anecdotes every time. You just have to leave enough space between the tellings, and it's like the story is brand new.
And, of course, when a guy tells you a story you've already heard, you either have to have actually forgotten the last time you heard it, or you have to pretend you did. That's what makes a professional host.

The Trucker News Services
BURLINGAME, Calif. — Drivewyze PreClear bypass service has been added in Georgia, making it the 26th state to offer the mobile-based weigh station bypass service.
Drivewyze PreClear is now available on major routes through the Peach State including Interstates 16, 20, 75, 85 and 95. Thirteen sites went live on July 31, with the remaining six scheduled to go live in the next few days.
"We're pleased the Georgia Department of Public Safety's Motor Carrier Compliance Division recognizes the value of using Drivewyze technology to prescreen safe commercial operators," Drivewyze President Brian Heath said.
Drivewyze PreClear has become the fastest growing bypass service in the industry, he added.
"It's clear more and more safety officials and fleet and truck operators see the benefit of using cellular technology and the Internet to add transponder-like functionality to electronic logging devices, smartphones and tablets."
Unlike traditional methods that use dedicated short-range communication transponders in every truck, Drivewyze doesn't require the installation of additional equipment.
Drivewyze offers compliance officers the ability to respond more efficiently to growing truck traffic without compromising the safety of the motoring public, Heath added. That reduces congestion in and around weigh stations, allowing freight to move more quickly.
"With the total number of locations in the United States soon to reach 400, Drivewyze PreClear provides more inspection site bypass opportunities than any other bypass service," Heath said. "By adding the Drivewyze mobile-based inspection site bypass to 19 sites, the Georgia Motor Carrier Compliance Division is providing a choice for truck fleets and operators. With Drivewyze-enabled sites already online in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, long-haul and regional carriers in those four states as well as those that travel within the region will have more opportunities to save money."
With the addition of Georgia, Drivewyze PreClear is now available at 384 locations in 26 states. A map with all of the currently active weigh stations in the South and across the country is available on the Drivewyze web site: http://drivewyze.com/coverage-map/.
The Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass application can be used on Android and iOS-based tablets or smartphones, and is integrated into PeopleNet Blu.2 and tablet devices, and the Zonar 2020. Rand McNally and Drivewyze recently announced an agreement to provide the Drivewyze PreClear weigh station bypass service for Rand McNally's suite of mobile fleet management devices. Drivewyze PreClear 3.0, the newest version of the weigh station application, comes with Weigh Station Heads Up service for real-time notifications at more than 700 weigh stations and inspection sites nationwide.
While the Drivewyze PreClear heads-up service is free, the bypass service is subscription-based and starts at $15.75 per vehicle per month with free trial offers and volume discounts available. With the average weigh station pull in costing $8.68 or more, according to a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration study, that means that a Drivewyze subscription pays for itself if a driver bypasses just two weigh stations within one month.

Jeep Rear CV Drive Shaft (12-16 JK Wrangler 4-door)
This double cardan style CV driveshaft is necessary for Jeep JK models equipped with 3.5in - 6in short arm suspension lifts or 2.5in - 6in long arm suspension lifts. It features a replacement flange for the differential pinions as opposed to using an adapter flange. These flanges are machined from solid billet steel. They are designed to accept standard "off the shelf" mating flanges. If these flanges ever break, you at least stand a chance of getting a replacement part from almost any drive line shop. This also nets a longer drive shaft with the center of the universal joint closer to the pinion bearing. Read More
- Collapsed Measurment: 41.25-inches
- Extended Measurment: 44.75-inches
- Eliminates contact between the stock drive shaft and oil pan on automatic transmission models.
- After lifting your Jeep JK Wrangler a CV (Double Cardan) drive shaft is a good choice to eliminate vibration issues and provide the longest lasting drive shaft.
- Includes Brute Force Red seals
- Includes better quality CV joints.
- Shaft strength is twice as strong as the factory equipped drive shaft.
- Grease fittings are out of the way of the transmission oil pan meaning you get grease to the joints that need it and not all over the botom of your Jeep.
- Install Time: 2-3 hours
- Recommended on models with 3.5in - 6in of lift.
- Does NOT fit 2-door models.

8 years ago my son joined ultimate fitness in the north end of barrie. It had a squash court and was within walking distance. Not even 6 months later the owner of that facility went bankrupt , but because ultimate fitness has a small print clause that states something similar to " if for some reason they ever close a facility and you have a contract for membership you are OBLIGATED to fulfill your contract because they have an alternate facility within a reasonable distance from where you signed up."
the other facility they told him he would now be using required my son to have to take a taxi across the the other side of the city and the other facility did not have a squash court. They bound him to the contract!!
It went to collections because he refused to pay out of principal. 2 years later he settled with the collection co. To get he them off his back and now 8 years later this wonderful health fitness centre has destroyed his chance of getting a mtg this year .
My advice, stay away for from ultimate fitness. Sneaky contracts and unreasonable. There were sever others she had the same experience when the north end facility closed. It's now been 8 years and it still affects us. How's that for health ?.

From Charles Town:
The eating contests sponsored by the county fairs are disgusting. Now it seems they are also dangerous, if I'm to believe the Berkeley County story where an 11-year-old boy was saved from choking. These contests are an embarrassment for all West Virginians.
From Bunker Hill:
Why are folks idling their cars while recycling in Inwood? Why do you think hybrid cars were created? Idling is a huge waste of gasoline, and it's a myth that restarting your engine takes more gas.
From Martinsburg:
How sad was it to see Dollar General store in Martinsburg was robbed. I guess we should blame that on the new Berkeley County smoking policy as well.
From Rippon:
After being in office for nearly six years and doing all that he could to destabilize the Middle East, he is still blaming Bush. When did this guy going to "man up" and take responsibility for his failed strategies, both foreign and domestic? Is this the scandal that will finally destroy our country?
From Berkeley County:
I can guarantee everyone in Berkeley County a pay raise by voting against the upcoming school levy. Just take a look at your tax bills you just received in July.
From Inwood:
In reference to the Bunker Hill caller agreeing with the Airport Road caller: Both of you have issues. I am a Christian woman. I have three or four kids. When I leave this world, everybody is loving me, unlike you. Y'all have issues.
From Berkeley County:
First a leaky roof, and now bats at the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department. Don't our deputies deserve better? Berkeley County Council, do the right thing.

What the Pledge to Curb Health Costs Does (and Doesn't) Mean
Several big health-care interest groups say they're going to slow the rise in health costs over the next decade. Here are stories from this morning's WSJ, Washington Post and New York Times.
Later today, several big players — including the American Medical Association, the Service Employees International Union, and the main trade groups from the drug, hospital, medical-device and health-insurance industries — are expected to meet with President Obama and pledge to slow the growth of health-care costs by 1.5 percentage points per year in each of the next 10 years.
The specifics seem pretty thin. The pledge includes perennial cost-control favorites such as "simplifying administrative costs, making hospitals more efficient, reducing hospitalizations, managing chronic illnesses more effectively and improving health-care information technology," the WSJ says. All stuff that everybody agrees sounds good, but has been hard to put into practice.
What's more, even if the health establishment slows the growth as promised, the cost of health care will continue to grow faster than the economy as a whole, rising to 18% of GDP by 2019, the WSJ says. (Health spending was 16.6% of GDP last year.)
Still, the fact that such a wide range of players with often conflicting interests (doctors and health insurers, for example) are speaking as a single group is pretty significant. It shows they all want to look like they're on board with health reform, a top priority this year in Washington. That's a big change from the last major health-reform push, in the early 1990s, which failed in part due to fierce industry opposition.
But keeping that broad-based support will become more difficult in the coming weeks and months, as the details of health-reform legislation emerge from Congress. Later today, in fact, the Senate Finance Committee is expected to release several possible options for a public insurance program that would compete with private insurers. That's one of the most contentious elements of the health-reform plans, and one the insurance industry vigorously opposes.

Change Your Numbers!
Are you the type of person who has to see numbers change in order to feel like you are making progress on your fitness path?
Do any of these ring a bell?
- Getting up and weighing yourself every morning and rejoicing or grieving over every ounce lost or gained.
- Fervently checking your heart rate monitor throughout your workout for BPMs and calories burned and feeling fabulous or frustrated with high or low numbers.
- Breaking out the measuring tape every day or week and obsessing over every centimeter.
- Counting calories and condemning yourself for every goal missed.
- Planning to exercise a certain number of minutes per day or hours per week and being anxiety-ridden when you fall short.
If you found yourself nodding at any one of these, don't worry, I am nodding at a couple of them, too!
Numbers are not your enemy. Obsessing over numbers, though, just might be. Each of these numbers (weight, heart rate, calories burned, calories consumed, inches, time spent exercising) is important and can be extremely useful for achieving and maintaining fitness and weight loss.
When a specific number begins to take over your life, however, is when the focus on the number can become counterproductive and even sabotage your progress. Personally, if I obsess about calorie intake, it is a recipe for an eventual bingeing disaster.
Instead of laying off numbers altogether (something that is really hard to do), try switching your focus from one set of numbers to another and see how that can change your orientation and attitude towards eating and exercising. For example, if it is calories burned that has your attention now, try switching gears to amount of time spent exercising for a period of time (a month, for example). Or, if you are watching your scale numbers, try shifting gears to inches for a while and monitor your measurements.
Other good numbers to think about are body fat percentage instead of Body Mass Index (people with more muscle tend to skew the BMI numbers up), and resting heart rate and rate of heart rate recovery, instead of maximum heart rate (the lower your resting rate and the faster your recovery, the better your cardiovascular fitness).
So, go forth and change your numbers!

Sure there are. Many ISPs and other entities have clear TOS

the power to enforce, only needing to be informed and have

If you score more than 21 – you lose. The less points you score in its phase of the game , the more your opponent a chance to win.
The game consists of two phases – yours and your opponent's. Let's say you start .
During the yours phase of the game at every move, you , at the same time with an opponent, throw out a certain number of fingers – from one to ten. The numbers added together for a few moves , turning in your points until you say "Enough ! " . Your task is to prevent the "Bust" . The task of yours opponent – is to get you to say" Enough! " with a minimum score.
Then begins the opponent's phase. His task – is to score more points than you . Your task – is to give him a "bust".

There has been speculation that Manchester United have already agreed to sign two 'world class players' before the transfer window opens this summer.
Manager David Moyes will be looking ahead towards the summer transfer window as he looks to overhaul his underachieving squad to remount a title challenge next season.
But according to the Metro, the Guardian reports that two world class players are already set to move to Old Trafford at the end of the campaign.
The unknown pair are reported to be from overseas that have been tracked by Red Devil scouts for a considerable amount of time.
Manchester United's transfer plans are unsurprising, as the midfield and the back-line are in dire need of reinforcing and with a suspected transfer kitty of £200m, the possibility of replacements are endless.
With Nemanja Vidic leaving and Patrice Evra set to follow, Moyes has been looking at Luke Shaw, Seamus Coleman, and William Carvalho as replacements for the departing veterans.
Ilkay Gundogan is also a prime target, who'll add a touch of class to an uninspiring United midfield.
The two signings are expected to be announced at the end of the season.
Because he doesn't know how to make them perform. This is not matter of player. The coach is the problem here. His formation bad,his tactics too bad. How can players perform wen they are playing off position?? Moyes out. He has done enough damage already
all the defenders and the goal keeper play their right position….. is that moyes fault why they keep conceding goals?
Moyes and the backroom staff need to be send away or else they will surely cause more problem to man united.
They came to man united to collect money and spoil d image.
Moyes and his backroom staff need to be send away before they add more to man united problem
Can't wait for the summer window. Moyes will get it right, I believe that and the majority of united fans do too. Time will tell tho.
The badge will always mean more than the title. Illegitimi non carborundum, Moyes; The storm will pass eventually.

Wednesday, 04.27.2011 / 7:30 PM ET / 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs Coverage
By Michelle Crechiolo
Thank you for yet another fantastic season, Pens fans. It was a wild ride and you were all there every step of the way. They couldn't have gotten to where they are without your support.
0:00: That's game. The Pens fall to the Bolts by a score of 1-0.
0:13: Pens whistled for offsides with 13.5 seconds left in the game. Faceoff will go outside the blue line.
0:34: Pens move the puck around smoothly and get a shot on Roloson with some traffic and the extra attacker as Fleury is pulled, but the Bolts goalie is able to make the save. Bylsma decides to use his timeout to regroup the troops.
1:33: The Pens are finishing the game on a PP!!! Nate Thompson, one of their best killers, is going to the box for slashing Kunitz's stick in half!
2:06: There's a loose puck in the blue paint that Kunitz tries to repeatedly whack past Roloson but the Bolts goalie finally covers!!!
2:47: Pens are coming at the Bolts in waves, but can't quite get anything flowing in the offensive zone.
5:10: Adam Hall just found the puck right in front of the net, but Fleury absolutely stoned him!!
5:33: Here we go. The final stretch! If the rest of this game is any indication, these last few minutes should be intense!
6:36: Styx's "Renegade" just blared over the loudspeakers and the crowd is on its feet waving their towels!
7:02: The penalties expire. Both teams are back to full strength.
9:02: We're heading to 4-on-4 hockey, as Moore gets two for interference and Tanger gets a pair for diving.
11:03: The Pens have kept play hemmed in the Bolts zone for what seems like an eternity. They're leaving absolutely everything on the ice right now.
12:25: Bolts back to full strength.
14:35: And the Bolts take a too many men penalty on the play! Pens head to the PP!
14:45: After another big shift by the Pens, the Bolts finally clear but Orpik lays out Hall in the battle for the puck to regain the Tampa Bay offensive zone!
16:09: Colossal effort from the Kunitz-Staal-Kennedy line, aided by the play of Orpik and Letang. The Pens are pressuring hard and putting pucks to the net, they just can't capitalize.
18:47: Tanger powers to the crease and whacks a shot at Roloson from the corner, but he makes the save! TK's there to pounce on the rebound, but somehow Roloson comes up with another huge stop!
19:16: Flower flashes the pad on a wrister from Stamkos! The Pens ice the puck on the resulting clearing attempt.

8:21: Lecavalier tries to whack at a puck that's skipping across the crease, but thankfully can't corral it!
9:04: Adams sends a pass to Duper, who's wheeling down the ice at a torrid pace! He's able to get a shot off but not much of one, as two Bolts defenders are right on his heels!
9:19: Pens heading right back to the PK. Neal gets two for slashing.

- Pens are outhitting the Bolts, 12-10
- Talbot has three of those checks
- Bolts have seven blocked shots to the Pens' four

0:45: Gagne finds some space in front of the net and receives a pass, but somehow Fleury gets a pad on his shot! Huge save by "Flower"!

3:10: Bolts back to full strength.

6:37: Bolts back to full strength.
6:50: Pens' PP has gotten some good looks thus far. They're getting pucks to the net and making Roloson work for every one.
8:37: The Pens are heading to the PP as Brewer gets two for interference! NOTE: Talbot is back on the bench for Pittsburgh.
10:21: Ohlund drives Talbot into the boards from behind and his head smacks off the edge. Talbot goes down and has to be attended to by athletic trainer Chris Stewart. No penalty is called on the play. Max is able to make it off the ice but heads straight to the dressing room as he's got a cut on his forehead that has to be tended to. Scary moment.
12:15: Letang makes a beautiful heads-up pass to a streaking Kunitz, who gets behind the Bolts D! But they hound him hard as he drives to the net, which results in his shot going just wide.
13:49: Staal one-times a blast from the slot that comes right after Roloson loses his stick! But the Bolts goalie makes the save!
14:31: Asham picks off a pass and finds himself alone in front of the Bolts net, but he's not in a good shooting position! He spins to try and tee off a shot, but can't quite get a handle on it!
14:48: Hall finds a lane and carries down for a shot, but it's easily saved by Fleury!
16:41: Another day, another huge block by Craig Adams. He lays his body on the line to stop a Bergeron blast.
17:51: After Talbot absolutely crushes Simon Gagne on the boards in the neutral zone, Chris Conner shrugs off Ohlund and sends him flying!
19:15: Huge first shift by the Pens! The Kunitz-Staal-Kennedy line began by getting the puck deep (and keeping it there). When the Bolts finally broke it out, Orpik and Letang shut their big three – St. Louis, Lecavalier and Stamkos – down!
20:00: Puck drops. Game on. This is it!
8:09 PM: CONSOL Energy Center is a sea of white, the towels are waving frantically and the crowd is roaring! The atmosphere is absolutely electric – Pens fans never cease to amaze!
Jeff Jimerson has returned to sing the national anthem – and the crowd began singing along with him from the get-go! Looks like Pens fans are carrying on the tradition they started at the beginning of the series!
8:00 PM: Bylsma has elected to make no changes to his Game 7 lineup. Here's how the lines shake down:
Fleury gets the nod between the pipes.
7:57 PM: I don't know if you heard, but tonight's forecast at CONSOL Energy Center is supposed to be a WHITEOUT ...
And the Pens are incredibly excited to have the seventh man on the ice with them tonight! They worked down to the wire to have Game 7 in front of their home crowd, and can't wait to have the fans behind them in tonight's epic battle.
7:31 PM: Here's your chance to get versed on the game-day happenings from right here in CONSOL Energy Center. Click here to be taken to the Game 7 edition of the Penguins Report! You won't be sorry.
7:30 PM: At his media conference today, Lightning coach Guy Boucher offered a simple explanation as to what he expected from tonight's game, specifically what he thinks he'll see from Marc-Andre Fleury. I'm using that as my Quote of the Night.
7:15 PM: The Penguins have been in this situation before, as four of their last six series have gone to that decisive seventh game.
While experience does help (as some of the Penguins discussed today), the knowledge that the smallest play – no matter how insignificant it seems at the time – could be the difference-maker in an elimination game is a stressful thought.
Head coach Dan Bylsma was asked earlier this afternoon how he keeps his players from worrying too much about small details and gripping their sticks too tightly.
This was his goosebump-inducing response:
"You are going to write the story. That is what winners do. We have tried to build that into the team so that when you come down to that one play, you will have made it and be ready for and you know the significance of it. When you play that way as a team, you give yourselves the chance to tilt the scales in your favor. ... I think now we are going into a Game 7 that will be everything a Game 7 should be. It going to be an opportunity. It is going to be about us getting to our game and them with their strengths and it is going to come down to one play. But that is one play we have already made a thousand times, and we are going to be ready for it."
7:00 PM: Countless hours training during the offseason. 82 regular-season contests. 186 days. 4,920 minutes of game action (not counting overtime). Innumerable practices, meetings and video sessions. Umpteen nights spent on airplanes, riding buses and in hotel rooms. Six hard-fought playoff games against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
That equation sums up the Penguins' entire season up to this point, which has boiled down to this next 60 minutes of hockey. A win tonight means Pittsburgh's season is still alive. A loss means their summer of training for the next one has officially begun.
Game 7s are one of the greatest displays of hockey you'll ever see. The players on each team somehow manage to reach a whole new level in their desperate attempts to extend their seasons. No one wants to have summer in April. They'd much rather have it in June.
I know the Pens aren't ready for their seasons to be over. I'm not either. So let's start the blog with the absolute most fitting song I could find. "We live to win another victory. ... So hear our voice, we have a choice, it's time to face it. We are one, we are one, we are one, we will stand together ... "

Hair today--gone tomorrow
A side of hair with your steak?
This will give you cause to think twice before sending your meal back at a restaurant. A steak-house won't have to fork over nearly $150,000 because of human hair in a meal served to a customer. A Wisconsin state appeals court has ruled the damage award was improper. Kevin Hansen ordered a steak at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant. He sent it back, saying it was too well done. A cook cut a slit in the new steak, stuffing some of his own hair inside. A jury found the restaurant wasn't negligent and the cook acted on his own. But the jury did order nearly 150-K in damages. That's now been tossed out by the appeals court.

Influence from the Sidelines
The safe, polite word is that resigning was perhaps the best thing Benedict XVI ever did. Sometimes it is said with a tinge of damning with faint praise, but often it sounds sincere for reasons well articulated.
The safe, polite word is that resigning was perhaps the best thing Benedict XVI ever did. Sometimes it is said with a tinge of damning with faint praise, but often it sounds sincere for reasons well articulated.
Celebrating what was expected to be the last public liturgy of his pontificate two weeks before his resignation, Pope Benedict XVI preached on the virtues of humility and Christian unity and heard his highest-ranking aide pay tribute to his service to the church.
Jesus "denounces religious hypocrisy, behavior that wants to show off, attitudes that seek applause and approval," the pope said in his homily during Mass on Wednesday in St. Peter's Basilica. "The true disciple does not serve himself or the 'public,' but his Lord, in simplicity and generosity."
John Allen in Rome: These three men all came into the spotlight because of scandal, and could cause some trouble when the conclave convenes next month.
On Tuesday, NCR looked at world headlines capturing the news of Pope Benedict XVI's resignation, thanks to the D.C.-based Newseum.
As Pope Benedict looks to shore up his legacy in the last two weeks of his pontificate, he used one of his last general audiences Wednesday to cite three 20th century writers as examples of deep conversion to faith.
Among those Benedict mentioned was Dorothy Day, the late New Yorker who was the co-founder of a continuing radical U.S. Catholic movement focused on embracing voluntary poverty and living out the works of mercy.
Having established Feb. 28 as the end of his papacy, Benedict XVI now has two weeks to leave a final imprint on the church, conscious that every word he says for the next two weeks and every act he performs will be among his last.
One has to imagine that Benedict will use these opportunities to stress a few themes particularly dear to his heart, which will both help sum up his own papacy and, perhaps, help sketch a path for his successor.
In effect, the pope's record over the next two weeks amounts to a final chance to frame his own legacy.
During the last years of the John Paul II papacy we watched major deterioration as he clung to life and power. At that time, I wrote more than once of his need to retire or for a process to be initiated to vacate the See of Peter because of his inability to carry out his duties as pope.
Eco Catholic: Deemed the "green pope," Benedict spoke often of the need for greater care for creation among people of all faiths.
Some say Pope Benedict XVI was the most knowledgeable man about the crisis, but others say he didn't do enough for victims.
John Allen in Rome: It's the question everyone is asking: Is the pope really just old and tired, or is there more to the story?

Deficiencies in the talent pool + coupled with aging veteran mistakes and general overall slowness = a soft Steeler team. Wish I could be more optimistic, but the sadness I express stems from the fact that I haven't seen a B&G team this vanilla in a very, very long time. It seems that regardless of the ineptitude we displayed in the past on offense, we always struck fear in the heart of our opponents with a smash mouth running game and a fierce defense. We need some pipe hitting ninjas.... because we haven't drafted them lately.

CHARLESTON -- Overcoming an early four-run deficit Thursday evening the Charleston Fighting Squirrels rallied for 12 runs in the last innings to beat the visiting Chaffee Red Devils 19-9 in six innings on the mercy rule.
"We swung the bats well," Charleston's Ethan Browning said. "Our defense lagged a couple of innings, but we knew when we swing the bats like that the game goes well for us."
The Squirrels got off to a bumpy start as starting pitcher Jesse Schott gave up three runs on five walks and hit to allow the Red Devils.
After Charleston's offense hammered out four runs in the bottom of the frame, Chaffee would counter with four of their own in the top of the second off three walks and three hits including a two-run triple by Jared Walker.
Chaffee would score another run in the third with Chris Payne crossing the plate on a grounder to give the Red Devils their biggest lead of the night at 8-4.
Closing the gap the Squirrels scored three more in the two frames with Chaffee adding one in the top of the fifth to make it a 9-7 ball game.
Charleston's bats then made up for whatever problems their pitching was having earlier in the game, combing for eight hits and three walks to score five runs in the fifth and seven in the sixth.
"We came out strong, but toward the end they started hitting," Chaffee's Alex Davie said. "We couldn't come out of that hole."
The Squirrels put the capper on the game when, with Tyler Whybark at second and two outs after a double, Trey Watkins hits a fly ball to right field.
Chaffee's right fielder, after initially getting his glove on the ball, lost control dropping it to the ground, allowing Whybark to score the Squirrels' 19th run ending the game on the 10-run mercy rule.
"Errors and walks usually kill a lot of teams and we had plenty of those," Red Devil's coach Joe Bickings said. "If we limit those we win this ball game, but that's baseball and that happens."
Coming in to relieve Schott in the second, Marshall Stallings picked up the win. He went 3 2/3 frames allowing two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out three.
"I felt like I was throwing the ball pretty well," Stallings said. "I hadn't pitched in awhile, but I stopped the bleeding a little bit."
In all Charleston (3-7) had eight players combine for 13 hits including five doubles. Stallings Zach Rowland, Schott, Dustin Brister and Whybark all tied for the team lead with two hits apiece.
"I'm proud of the way the guys battled back," Squirrels' coach Matt Bucher said. "They definitely put the bat on the ball. When that happens good things happen."
Davie took the loss for Chaffee (2-6). He went five innings giving up 12 runs on 10 hits while striking out three.
"I felt great at first, but didn't get a few calls here and there and they started hitting my stuff," Davie said. "The offense was there today, but the pitching and defense wasn't."
The Red Devils offense came away with six hits the game with Chris Payne leading the team going 2-for-3. They also drew nine walks.

Will Sheehey was part of the recruiting class that helped make Indiana relevant again. Sheehey, out of Florida, arrived at Indiana with future 2013 NBA Draft pick Victor Oladipo. The Hoosiers struggled in his first season, racking up a 12-20 record, but they have gone 69-26 since. For that, plus his inspired play along the way, Sheehey will garner plenty of love during tonight's Senior Night festivities. Watch the ceremony on BTN2Go.

Great for running AROS. There is a beta Intel kernel-extension to allow running Windows at native speed, dig through the site/forum to find it.
Q should have emulation & emulator tags imo.
It definitely works worse than Parallels, but it's FOSS and works on PPC Macs.

RestrictionsOne way on Argos trail (up only) on odd numbered calendar days.
Overview1:16 average time for 7.3 miles. Details
This is really a combination of Argos, Pick'n Sledge, Grubstake loop and ending on the lower section of Apex.
DescriptionStart the uphill switchback grunt on Argos and turn right onto Pick'n Sledge at the first junction. Stay on this trail through a couple of rock features and continue straight at the junction with Grubstake to go clockwise (and take advantage of the downhill). Continue on Pick to the top of Indian Mountain where you can take a quick breather and check out the Denver metro area from the shade of the pines.
Ride on over the backside and turn sharp left onto Grubstake. It can be easy to miss if you're screaming along so a key marker is a sitting bench on your right. Another short and gentler uphill to a series of tight and somewhat technical downhill switchbacks with a nice roll back to the first Grubstake/Pick'n Sledge junction. Continue on back down the hill and onto Apex for a rewarding downhill (avoid the hikers and dogs!)
While there are a few rock sections and water bars, I wouldn't consider this continuously technical. Most flow very well and I'll bet if you got this far you can walk your bike over anything!

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian has rejected Internet rumors that vocalist John Bush has been kicked out of the group in favor of returning frontman Joey Belladonna.Just hours after an offical press release was circulated confirming ANTHRAX's plans to tour this summer with the classic "Among the Living" lineup, Ian dismissed speculation that Bush's tenure in the group has come to an end. Responding to several online postings about Bush's current status in the group, Ian wrote, "For the 10th time, John is not out of the band." ANTHRAX's "Among the Living" lineup — Ian, Belladonna, Charlie Benante (drums), Dan Spitz (guitar) and Frank Bello (bass) — has confirmed a number of European festival appearances this spring/summer, and has scheduled an Australian tour in May. In addition, the group remain a favorite to fill the "mystery band" open slot on the main stage at this year's Ozzfest, which kicks off July 15 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Reposted from Chaplain Mike, the Internet Monk.
O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 'For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?' 'Or who has given a gift to him, to receive a gift in return?' For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever. Amen. ~ Romans 11:33:36, NRSV
In an opinion piece at RNS, Mitchell Stevens argues that, while society is not becoming less religious, the "god" people worship has generally become diminished. God is a mere shadow of his former self.
God is not, to borrow Friedrich Nietzsche's image from 1882, dead. And neither is religion approaching extinction, despite what its staunchest opponents may have wished. The number of people in the world who have rejected religion has been rising rapidly; nonetheless, as of 2012 only 13 percent of the world's population would describe themselves as convinced atheists, according to a global survey by WIN-Gallup International.
Here in the United States, only 5 percent would accept that designation. However, religion has been growing much less important. God once was seen as commanding the entire universe and supervising all of its inhabitants — inflicting tragedies, bestowing triumphs, enforcing morality. But now, outside of some lingering loud pockets of orthodoxy, we have witnessed the arrival of a less mighty, increasingly inconsequential version of God.
Stevens supports his case by making the following observations:
- Religions explain much less than they used to.
- God is being given less credit for the outcomes of our personal experiences.
- The worship of this God is also less demanding, and religions tend to impose fewer restrictions on adherents. People are also less likely to go along with the standards religions might promote.
- Most today hold their religious beliefs more lightly than their ancestors.
The commenter quotes the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who predicted that religion would not be "o'erthrown" but simply become "unregarded." Then he concludes:
Religion's supporters can take comfort in the fact that, so far, most minds still find room for some sort of God. But as religion recedes and we contend less and less with the strictures of ancient holy texts, it is an increasingly distant, indistinct, uninvolved, ordinary God.

This rather awesome old car was sitting on 3rd Ave. a few days ago. I posted a picture of it a few years ago, but I'm doing it again. It's apparently either an MG TD or an MG TF from the 1950's, based on comments left on the first photo.
2 thoughts on "That Old Style"
Looks like a fun ride!
Hi Celine
This is a MG TD from the early 50's. They were made from 1950 – 1953. One way to tell the difference is the headlights on the TD are above the fenders and the TF is enclosed in the fenders. I have a 1951 MG TD and they are a fun car.

It's a big and fairly powerful templates-on-steroids system. I have
ideological objections to the mixing of code and HTML, but apart from
that it's OK. I'd much rather be using Template Toolkit, though. And I'm
much more confident that I could teach TT's minilanguage to a web
designer than Mason.

Er. Are you sure? Most people who want to get stuff done use Catalyst
for the framework side, and TT for the View component. Recently, anyway.
Of course, reading back, you said you want something that embeds code in
pages. I'd question the logic and taste of this, but clearly lots of
people like doing it. I guess as long as you stick to embedding purely
presentation layer logic in the page it's not fundamentally horrible,
but I still don't like it.
I don't think I would start a new project using Mason without thinking a
great deal about why it was a better approach. It seems to encourage
sloppiness by allowing much more logic to exist in the View than I'm
really happy about. Probably requires greater discipline on the part of
developers to not do naughty things.

Again, not to be awfully fanboyish, but I would hesitate to use H::T in
a new site. Sure, it's fast, but so is TT once you take the compilation
hit. CGI::Application is fast, too, but you end up writing a lot more
code than you do with a framework like Catalyst.
In summary, I'd go for TT and Catalyst, for most applications. Of
course, there will be exceptions -- what is the intended platform for
your app? Does it have to run as a CGI, rather than via mod_perl or

Self-reliance and sustainability in the 21st century.
By Claire E.
making yogurt, Claire E.
Making your own yogurt is much easier than you might think, easier than many of the projects I have written about before, and certainly easier than driving to the store to buy some.
I have heard this from others, but I'd never made yogurt before, so I decided to try something new and make our next batch.
This is how I found myself pouring milk into a pot a few afternoons ago.
I turned on the heat, and went to the pantry to wrangle out the powdered milk, which did not come quietly. When the milk began to steam, I opened the powdered milk and was struck by its smell: like it had been in the pantry for years. I knew from yogurt my mother had made that the finished product would not smell or taste old, and in fact powdered milk thickens yogurt, but as I sprinkled a few tablespoonfuls into the pot, I decided that I didn't like powdered milk.
Turning the heat down, I went to the refrigerator and pulled out a cup of store-bought plain yogurt. (Ready-made yogurt is necessary when making yogurt because of its probiotics. Homemade yogurt may be reused as starter, but generally becomes too weak to use by its fourth reuse.)
I slid my pot off the heat, thinned the yogurt with a splash of milk to ensure that it would combine smoothly with the rest of my brew, blended it into the milk in the pot, and stirred while it cooled. After about six minutes, I decided it was cool enough and poured it into the jars in the yogurt maker.
According to my directions, I needed to set the yogurt maker for about ten hours, after which I would need to put the yogurt in the fridge to prevent mold. This would not have been a problem if I'd planned properly; however, it was four-thirty, meaning that I would need to wake up at two-thirty in the morning.
I turned the dial on the yogurt maker to 10 hours and left to set my alarm.
All too soon my alarm screeched in my ear—you can see from the pictures that I was not happy to be awake. In the kitchen, I flipped the light on and the yogurt maker off, put the jars in the fridge, and we were off to bed again.
If I had made the yogurt in the morning, I needn't have woken at two-thirty to put it away. No harm was done, however, and now I have five jars of yogurt in the fridge, waiting to be eaten.

This is the recipe I used, but yogurt-making is more an art than a science, and you may tweak it however you feel necessary.
1 quart pastured milk
6 ounces organic yogurt
2 to 3 tbsp powdered milk
Make sure the heat on your stove is low. Pour the milk into a large pot.
Stir in the powdered milk.
Dump the yogurt into a bowl (a spatula is useful here).
Scoop several spoonfuls of milk out of your pot and combine them with the yogurt in the bowl.
Stir the yogurt into the pot.
Remove from heat and let cool, stirring. This should take about 6 minutes.
Pour into jars and set in yogurt maker or dehydrator. The less starter culture you use, the longer the yogurt should ferment. Note: You may add a layer of jam or something similar to the jars first for homemade fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt — my strawberry preserves would work nicely here.

WHITESBURG Ky. (WYMT) - The #2 Letcher Central Lady Cougars are heading to San Diego, California for the Surf N' Slam Basketball Tournament.
So far this season they are 9-2 on the year with their only in state loss coming at the hand of Scott County. Head coach Dickie Adams says he likes the way his team is playing right now, but would like to see them continue to improve.
"I like that some of my younger players have contributed maybe a little more than I, not anymore than I hoped they would, but maybe more than I thought they would, so I have been pleased with that", said Adams. "We've really struggled with illness and injuries, and, hopefully we can get healthy with two days off from school, and we can get back to playing. We have not played as well as I want us to play before the season is over. But, they have won most of our game, they are 9-2 and I am not disappointed with that."
