Big Time Loser
BILLY Broom, well known in Limavady as a taxi driver and part time gardener, has shaped up and shed an astonishing 119 pounds in a mere nine months by following an extensive exercise plan at the Roe Valley Leisure Center in Limavady.
At 45 years of age, Broom would put many younger people to shame with the many hours he puts in at the gym (on average three-four days a week) and the miles he covers on the treadmill or stepper.
Despite his commitment to keeping physically active Broom constantly struggled with his weight, masking his fitness levels and proving true the adage that appearances can be deceiving.
A few months back, his weight once again started to rapidly rise and at 350 pounds, he knew more decisive action and attitude was needed if he was to get the pounds off.
"For years I struggled with my weight, especially since I got married. I would go through periods where it would come down a few stone, only to climb back up again as quickly as it came off. Despite exercising several times a week, I was eating large amounts of food and taking a few too many beers," he said.
Broom took the decision to change his life for good nine months ago.
"I made a conscious effort to really pay attention to what I was eating -- my weekly trips to Slimming World helped here and really educated me on what to and what not to eat without ever getting hungry. I also made real efforts to reduce my beer intake. This, coupled with a more strenuous exercise regime has really paid dividends."
Broom said that losing such a huge amount of weight has really changed his life for the better. "My energy levels have improved significantly, I am sleeping much better and I can do better work outs at the gym now," he said.
As a reward for his immense work and achievement, Billy received three months complimentary membership to the gym, which he views as an "added bonus" for what he has accomplished.

Reunited Siblings
A SECOND World War veteran has been reunited with his beloved long-lost sister after more than 60 years apart, thanks to a letter in a Yorkshire newspaper.
Eddie Navan, 88, who has been living in Strabane for most of his adult life, lost touch with his family when he joined the army in 1942. In April of this year the war veteran, who served in Germany, appealed for information on the Navan family in the Holbeck area of Leeds, where he grew up, through the pages of the Yorkshire Evening News.
In a simple twist of fate, Eddie's younger sister, Mary Booth, 70, who reads the newspaper daily, recognized his letter and responded to her brother immediately. The pair then put the wheels in motion for an emotional reunion, and great-grandfather of two Eddie flew over to his home town of Leeds earlier this month to meet Mary.
"Mary was only nine years old the last time I saw her. I am the oldest of the family and she is the youngest. I became separated from my family after I joined the army in 1942," Eddie said.
"After some brief correspondence I didn't hear from my parents again and I just assumed that they had passed away. I met my wife Rose when she came over from Ireland to work in a factory in 1941 between Manchester and Warrington.
"Eventually, we moved and settled in Ireland with my stepdaughter. I have lived in Strabane since 1966 and I call myself an adopted son of Strabane, as everyone has been so lovely and kind to me.
"I have often wondered about my family over the years so I wrote a letter to the Yorkshire Evening Post asking could any of the readers help me to find my family. I wasn't sure if I had any family left, but there was nothing to lose.
"It was just by luck that Mary happened to buy the paper everyday and came across my letter. She immediately recognized my name and she told me she got the shock of her life seeing it. Soon after I arranged to travel over to meet Mary. It was very emotional, but it was a fantastic feeling meeting after all these years."
The pair are the last surviving members of six children. Eddie now plans to return for a lengthy visit to Mary and her family this summer, where he also hopes to spend time revisiting his brothers' graves at Killingbeck Cemetery.
"When I was younger my parents would have talked a lot about the power of the press and I could never understand what they meant -- until now that is. I can't wait to go back over and spend more time with Mary and her family. Now that I have found them I am not going to let them go," he added.
A MAN who had one of the largest collections of child pornography ever found by the Gardai (police) will be sentenced after he undergoes psychiatric evaluation.
The 133,553 images and 1,992 videos found on James Clarke's computer included images showing severe child sex abuse involving bondage, cruelty and bestiality. The child porn was organized into computer folders by themes and individuals, and Clarke was using an Internet site to offer the images to others.

NEW MADRID -- They opened strong, but the Scott County Central Braves could not stave off a charge by Covington.
Scott Central's second game of the Riverbend Classic Saturday at New Madrid County Central High School went in favor of the Chargers 73-64.
"We came out in the first half with a lot of intensity," Scott Central head coach Frank Staple said. "We did a lot of things better, but the big thing today that I think cost us the game was that we struggled with the pressure."
The pressure began to mount in the second quarter when Covington, down by seven at one point, broke loose for a 9-0 run to take a 27-25 lead. They eventually went on to hold a 30-27 advantage over the Braves at halftime.
Scott Central (0-2) opened the game taking a 16-10 first quarter lead.
"I thought we contested everything well," said Staple. "They just hit some big shots. We knew they were a good shooting team coming in."
The Braves struggled with turnovers all night long. Covington played a big part in that with 15 steals on the night.
But, Scott Central also had a hard time shrinking their own turnover margin but simply not holding on to the ball or allowing themselves to get in too big of a hurry offensively.
"There were a lot of unforced errors," Staple said. "A lot of that could be because we're not in shape. We're still trying to shake some of that rust off. Those are things that we'll make note of and try to improve on."
Although the tide had turned by halftime, the Braves continued to hang around in the second half.
They found themselves down by eight (58-50) with just under six minutes remaining and then down by seven with 60 seconds left after two made free throws from Larandis Banks. However, the Braves didn't score again.
Covington was led by Demetrius Dyson's 21 points. The 6-6 senior also had eight rebounds and four blocks. Bobby Shanks, a 6-2 sophomore, added 19 points and nine rebounds. Tarecus Hughes chipped in 16 points, while Chevia Hughes had eight points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists.
Senior Jaylen Porter led the Braves with 16 points and nine rebounds. Despite and off night, going 5 of 17 from the field, Banks scored 15 points. Tyler Masters added 11 and seven rebounds while Kendall Blissett chipped in nine points and nine rebounds.
"That's why you play this weekend," said Staple about his two games at the Riverbend. "You come here to play against good competition to see where you are."
SCC (64) -- Larandis Banks 15, Alex Johnson 2, Tyler Masters 11, Blain Johnson 7, Jaylen Porter 16, Kendall Blissett 9, Jeffrey Porter 4. FG 24 FT 14-24 F 25. (3-pointers: B. Johnson 1, Ja. Porter 1. Fouled out: Tyler Masters.)
COVINGTON (73) -- Tarecus Hughes 16, Kaleb Estes 4, Chevia Hughes 8, Jalen Claybon 5, Demetrius Dyson 21, Bobby Shanks 19. FG 26 FT 17-37 F 22. (3-pointers: T. Hughes 2, Claybon 1, Shanks 1. Fouled out: Jesse Somerville, Keyon Perry.)
Kennett 71, Pine Bluff 70
With four seconds left, sophomore Harold Weeden gave the Kennett Indians a 71-70 win against Pine Bluff, Ark., during Saturday's first game of the Riverbend Classic at New Madrid County Central High School.
Weeden, who finished with eight points, took a pass from Kevonte Mitchell, drove the lane and put up a shot that rolled in.
Mitchell led the Indians with 28 points while Antavies Drake scored 19.
Pine Bluff's Darren kee had a team high 28 points.
|Pine Bluff
KENNETT (71) -- Antavies Drake 19, Jay Edgington 9, Akeem Nelson 2, Collin Smith 1, Kevonte Mitchell 28, Harold Weeden 8, Divante Taylor 4. FG 23 FT 20-27 F 16. (3-pointers: Edgington 3, Drake 2. Fouled out: none)
PINE BLUFF (70) -- Jalon Pullium 5, Quintaurs Walker 8, Marcus Thomas 9, Darren Kee 28, Ervin Jones 10, KaVon Cassidy 4, Michael Sission 6. FG 29 FT 10-12 F 20. (3-pointers: Thomas 1, Kee 1. Fouled out: Cassidy)

The change occurred at t=3 seconds.
So at t<3 seconds, V(t)=2 volts
at t>3 seconds, V(t)=? volts
Discontinuity is at t=?
t < 8 V(t) =5
T>8 V(t) =18
if two resistors with resistances r1 and r2 ohms are connected in parallel in an electric circuit to make an r-ohms resistor , the value of r can be found from the equation 1/r=1/r1+1/r2. if r1 is decreasing at the rate of 1 ohm/sec , and r2 is increasing at the rate of 0.5 ohm/sec , at what rate is r changing when r1=75 ohms and r2=50 ohms

A project to extend Towne Drive to Veterans Way and create rear access to Towne Mall in Elizabethtown is expected to commence in the next few weeks.
Elizabethtown City Council awarded the low bid to local contractor Phillips Bros. Construction at just less than $1.5 million, but Robert Bush, director of stormwater management, said construction has been slightly delayed because the city is attempting to acquire a deed from a developer for a plot of right-of-way.
The lights of First Baptist Church of Eastview cut through nearly total blackness as Easter sunrise service began.
As worship continued, the amber-colored windows began to lighten with the sun.
Every padded bench was full in the simple worship hall. Metal chairs lined each side of the aisle and were crammed into every free space at the back of the room so only a few people had to stand during the service.
Volunteers are invited this weekend to help clean up Fort Duffield and then enjoy the beauty of the site.
The fort is one of more than 100 Civil War sites in 24 states receiving maintenance Saturday from volunteers as part of the 17th annual Park Day.
The nationwide volunteer effort was created by the Civil War Trust and has been endorsed by Take Pride in America, a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The project is underwritten by a grant from the television channel History.
Girls at Central Hardin High School didn't have to look in the mirror one day this past week to know they were beautiful. In fact, they couldn't.
One of the school restroom mirrors was plastered with lyrics from the band One Direction insisting the reader was beautiful for reasons that had nothing to do with a looking glass.
Glendalesenior Jessie Key and Elizabethtown junior Amanda Sankey have joined with other members of their newspaper class to promote Operation Beautiful in their school.
A Radcliff man was injured Friday after someone fired several gunshots into a car, police said.
Radcliff Police Department received a call about a shooting near the 1300 block of Blackjack Road in Hardin County at about 7:30 p.m., according to Kentucky State Police, which is conducting the ongoing investigation.
Two Fort Knox firefighters ran from a truck to a nearby Apache helicopter carrying two U.S. Army pilots. Balancing on a short ladder, one of the firefighters shut down the helicopter before the two men pulled the soldiers out one at a time.
Elizabethtown has attracted a major partner to serve as the main sponsor of the second Founders' Day Celebration this summer.
Two Hardin County businesses are among Kentucky Farm Bureau's 2013 Roadside Farm Markets.
Wooden Farm on Wooden Lane and Crawford Farms on Hodgenville Road in Elizabethtown are among 103 markets in the state to be accepted into this year's Kentucky Farm Bureau Certified Roadside Farm Market Program.
The program is meant to honor businesses that have shown commitment to offering quality products and service to their customers.
Wooden Farm is a third-generation old-fashioned country market open from September through November.

Powells Strong Outing Leads Cougars to 3-1 Victory
Charleston opened the scoring in the bottom of the first on a RBI single to left by senior SS Joey Bergman (Jacksonville, Fla./Bishop Kenny). Asheville tied the score at 1-1 in the top of the third with a RBI double to left by Catlin Carter before the Cougars pulled ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the frame. Junior 2B Baker Knox (San Mateo, Fla./Daytona Beach CC) beat out an infield single to second base and advanced to third on a single by DH Kolby Epley (Yadkinville, N.C./Forbush). Leeds proceeded to drive in Knox with a RBI single to second.
Powell scattered 10 hits in seven innings, allowing one run with six strikeouts for his second win of the season. Senior Owen Brittle (Cross, S.C./Florence Darlington Tech) tossed two innings of hitless relief to earn his first save of the season. Taylor Wohlwend took the loss for Asheville, allowing six hits and two runs with five strikeouts. Carter led the Bulldogs with three hits, including two doubles.
Charleston returns to action for a single non-conference tilt with Holy Cross Tuesday evening at Patriots Point. Game time is set for 5:00 p.m.

Earlier this week, a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons showed up in a "sponsored ad" on Facebook for an online dating site called Ionechat.com. Parsons was a 17-year-old Canadian girl, who committed suicide after she was cyber-bullied on Facebook and via texts following an alleged gang-rape at a friend's house. She was taken off life support in April.
Facebook apologized for the ad and removed the third-party dating site:
"This is an extremely unfortunate example of an advertiser scraping an image and using it in their ad campaign," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement. "This is a gross violation of our ad policies," adding, "We apologize for any harm this has caused."
Parsons' father, Glen Canning, who has blogged about years of torment his daughter endured wrote that he was "completely bewildered and disgusted" by what he called the worst Facebook ad ever. "And there she was, smiling, and being used yet again."
Yesterday, the first question for Mark Zuckerberg, following his live chat with Atlantic editor-in-chief James Bennet, was about cyber-bullying.

Unfortunately, Paola needed her appt. herself. But she accomodated us in a friends appt. which she arranged and communicated adequately with us in time. The placed where we stayed was in a classic city block, which made it interesting. The appt. was small but complete and practical. The toilet/shower was very small but it proved effective, although the building could use some maintainance according to the smell that sometimes came from the sewage.
The tram was closeby on the Mannerheimintie and lines 2 or 4 took us to downtown in a few minutes, making it a good place to discover Helsinki during the weekend. So it was ok.
Lovely modern appartment next to a supermarkt and on a 10-15 min. walk to the city centre.
Die Wohnung ist vom Flughafen aus gut per Bahn oder Bus erreichbar. Tram und Bus liegen ca. 3 Gehminuten entfernt.
Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und äußerst ansprechend eingerichtet.
Gleich gegenüber besteht die Möglichkeit Einkäufe zu erledigen. Ins Zentrum (Bahnhof) kommt man mit der Tram in 8 bis 10 Minuten.
Die Wände sind etwas hellhörig, sonst gibt es nichts daran auszusetzen.
Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll und schick eingerichtet, Design eben, etwas anderes. Lage ist super, da gleich an der Tram Nr 3 mit der man durch die ganze Innenstadt kommt. Auch für vier und mit Kindern genügend Platz, Bad immer nur für einen, aber ok. Allerdings müsste man die Wohnung mal gründlich putzen, das war nicht ganz so schön.

Simple BenchmarkPosted Thursday, 3 January, 2008 - 18:41 by darxus in
Hi there guys, I just made a simple benchmark test today.
All I do in it is to:
(1) Call the Run() method with no parameters (it uses it's own internal values), plus...
(2) I made an FPS calculation mechanism to be called from OpenTK's Update.
Now though, I wonder how possible is for this test to provide "exact" FPS calculation. As far as I saw on OpenTK's source code, there are bits of code that lock variables (i.e. updates_per_second must be from 0 to 200...) I think that affect real and "raw" results in sake of the OpenTK framework.
Do you think that if I could override (or bypass) the Run method to get "real" values?
P.S: Otherwise, OpenTK is just fine as it is and I won't bother to benchmark it anymore ;). Here the code I made http://www.mediafire.com/?5d1ypgaybmv
fell free to do it whatever you like. :)
C ya!
Sounds nice, thanks! If you set the TargetUpdate/RenderFrequency to 0, it will "unlock" the relevant setting making it go full speed. (Missing documentation, I know, things will be better in the next release)

Join Concord Light's Google Group (CMLP-CAP) & help reduce the summer peak!
We hope you will join our efforts to help reduce the Town's summer electrical peak and the cost of electricity to all Concordians. The summer peak demand season is June 1st through August 31st.
Fifteen percent of your electric bill is directly related to the amount of electricity Concord uses for just one hour during the entire year.
That one hour, referred to as the peak demand hour, occurs on a hot weekday afternoon sometime in June through August usually between the hours of 1PM – 4PM.
The defining hour is determined by the highest hourly peak for all of New England which is as easy to predict as the weather.
As a CAP Google Group member, we ask you to voluntarily reduce electric use when peak electric demand is predicted. We will send out an email notification the day before to all CAP members when it appears that a possible peak hour may occur.
You can help by postponing the use of appliances like washers and dryers until later in the day, shutting off pool pumps for a few hours, raising the setting on your air conditioning thermostat a few degrees, or cooking dinner on the grill….you get the idea.
By reducing our electric use during these hours, everyone benefits with lower electric rates and a cleaner environment as the least efficient electric generating plants operate during peaks in order to provide enough capacity.
If you are already a member, just wait for our email notifications of potential peak days based on weather conditions. Pass this information on to family and friends who may also want to help. They can join the Google Group by simply sending an email with the Subject and Body blank to: email@example.com
Thank you for helping to reduce the summer peak demand and keep Concord's electric rates competitive.

U.S Steel Reports 2Q Loss
Aug. 7, 2014
U.S Steel Reports 2Q Loss
United States Steel Corp., Pittsburgh, reported a net loss of $18 million in the second quarter, an improvement from the $78 million lost in second-quarter 2013, but a fallback from the $52 million earned in the previous quarter. Net sales for the second quarter totaled about $4.4 billion, a small decrease from the first quarter and the same quarter last year. Net sales for the first six months totaled $8.85 billion, down from $9.02 billion in first-half 2013.
U.S. Steel shipped a total of 5.03 million tons of steel in the quarter, down from 5.12 million tons in the first quarter and 5.25 million tons in second-quarter 2013. For the year to date, its global steel shipments totaled 10.15 million tons, down from 10.74 million in the first half last year.
The company attributed declines in its Flat-rolled business to the effects of the extraordinary weather conditions and operational issues that began in the first quarter, which resulted in higher operating costs and lower shipments in the second quarter.
"The Carnegie Way journey continues to drive improvements as we reported operating income for each of our reportable segments and Other Businesses despite significant operating inefficiencies and logistical issues in our Flat-rolled segment," said U.S. Steel President and CEO Mario Longhi. "The extreme weather conditions at the start of the year impacted numerous industry statistics such as steel production, service center shipment volumes, and construction starts. Just getting materials moved around the country proved to be an extraordinary task, which likely dampened expectations as to the underlying strength of the economy."
Looking ahead to the third quarter, the company expects its Flat-rolled segment to improve significantly as operations return to normal and shipments increase. Realized prices are expected to remain consistent with the second quarter. Inventory levels are expected to increase during the balance of the year as the company works to replenish its supply chain.
U.S. Steel also expects its Tubular results to improve slightly from the second quarter. Shipments are expected to decrease due to the indefinite idling of the McKeesport and Bellville facilities, but average realized prices are projected to increase due to improved pricing and mix. The ITC ruling on the OCTG trade case expected in mid-August will not be in time to benefit the third-quarter results.

AtV Miso Soup
(this recipe yields enough for 1-2 servings, depending on how big you like your bowl of soup)
1/2 tsp Onion powder
1/2 tsp Garlic granules
1/2 tsp dried Parsley
1/2 tsp ground Celery Seed
1/2 tsp pureed Medjool Date (or other liquid sweetener to taste)
1 Tbsp Nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp Lemon Pepper (or black pepper with a squeeze of lemon juice)
3 Tbsp Unpasteurized Mellow White Miso
3 C Warm/hot Water
Add the above ingredients to your blender and blend for about 20 seconds.
Side note: Store the broth in an air tight container in the fridge and it will keep for at least a week!
Soup Contents:
You can get really creative with the contents of this soup if you'd like, but in the above photo I kept it fairly simple -
Wilted/Massaged Spinach
*Spiral Cut Zucchini sprinkled with lemon pepper
Dehydrated Crimini Mushroom
*One of my favorite ways to eat Zucchini in raw soup is to toss it with a little bit of lemon pepper and dehydrate it for 1 hour. The zucchini stays crunchy but takes on a slightly different texture that (to me at least) resembles al dente "pasta". It's so good!
How about one more?
Southwestern Hummus
Okay this is just too easy and too good! (I'm getting hungry just writing about it)
First you make up a batch of your favorite raw Hummus Recipe
Then you make up a batch of Pico De Gallo like this:
3 med. Tomatoes chopped
1/2 large red or white onion chopped fairly small
1 large green Bell Pepper
1 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 or 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 tsp Adobo Seasoning
Cayenne Pepper - to taste
1 Tbsp Nutritional yeast (optional, but so good)
1/2 tsp Garlic Granules
1 (heaping) tsp of Pureed Medjool Date (or liquid sweetener to taste)
Mix the above ingredients all together, if you have time (and can patiently wait) let the Pico marinate in the fridge for at least a half an hour.
Add equal parts Hummus to equal parts Pico de Gallo and *poof* You've got Southwestern Hummus! For an additional kick you can throw in some Fresh Corn and chopped Avocado to the Pico - but I didn't have any on hand, otherwise it would be in the photo.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

A pat on the back to a very preggo Megan Fox for her efforts at addressing domestic violence at this Avon event seeking to deal with that unfortunate subject. Also quite impressive how little she's showing for someone in her 3rd trimester. Although that might be the slimming powers of black at work. That being said, I feel like someone needs to speak with Megan about the violence inherent in what she's done to her face. Check out Megan just a few years back:
That's 5 years ago. She was 22. She's 27 now and there's no reason to think that she wouldn't still look very much like that now, had she not done whatever she's done to herself since. I don't know if it's surgery or what. Rumors circulate of vast fortunes spent on all sorts of elective procedures. Then that get's refuted. Clearly she's done something and whatever it was, it's been detrimental. The question I have to ask is, why change anything? Wasn't there a significant part of the population ready to sever a limb for her back then? Why not just maintain what she had in her TRANSFORMERS days? It's not like she's in her 30s or 40s now. She's still young, but she's starting to resemble something akin to a desperate 50-year old clinging to vanished youth.
It's just weird and kind of disturbing. Is this a new beautification norm? Are people really going to start chemically peeling or slicing their beauty away in their 20s now? And if this is what is necessary to stay beautiful at 27, imagine what she's going to look like when she is 50. No, I can't bear to think about that. What the f*ck, Megan?

The top-level table is pointers to the actual page table entries. The
TLB contains the actual page table entries.
If you have a hit in the TLB you needn't go to the page table at all.
Think of a 2-level page table as a 1-level page table that need not be
fully stored in memory.
1-level table:
entry 0 translation 0
entry 1 translation 1
entry 2 translation 2
entry 3 translation 3
entry N translation N
That's the whole page table.
Let's say for simplicity that the L1 table partitions the whole thing
into frames 4 entries long.
Then the top-level table is pointers to the 2nd-level table which will
consist of chunks like this:
entry 0 translation 0
entry 1 translation 1
entry 2 translation 2
entry 3 translation 3
Next chunk
entry 4 translation 4
entry 5 translation 5
entry 6 translation 6
entry 7 translation 2
Each line in the table is the same as the equivalent line in a 1-level
table. But because it is allocated in frames, it need not all exist at
Hard to explain without pictures...

Just Google it: the sky
It took me taking a trip away from Hollywood to see some real live shooting stars! This weekend I ventured over to Santa Fe, NM visiting the Caba Company fam and the breathtaking night skies here led me to the web looking for some details on what all the stars, planets & constellations I've been seeing are – and wouldn't you know it, I googled it and found Google Sky! Its just like Google Earth but with the stars and you can search for "the big dipper" or whatever you're looking for. Also if you have downloaded the actual Google Earth app, it will tell you about the sky above your location. So next time its super dark wherever you are (sorry NYC and other 'city' folks!) if you need a guide, the omniscient google has got your back – as always! Kinda cool

Roger loses London final
A scintillating and truly exciting game lasting 2hr.14 minutes with some of the most impressive tennis seen this year. Unfortunately the result went against our Champ Roger 6-7(6), 5-7 but he played his part in producing a final to go down in history with a worthy opponent in Djokovic.
'I cannot play much better than I did today so I am very pleased." This was Roger speaking after he had lost out 6-7 (6-8) ,5-7 to Novak Djokovic last night in the O2 arena,London. It was a fascinating game and a fitting end to a high quality championship.
Roger continued "Congratulations to Novak on an amazing year and tournament, you're the best". Roger indeed started well, winning the opening nine points and 12 of the first 14 to take a 3-0 lead. He then won the first point of the fourth game, but Djokovic finally held his serve — and soon broke back.In the ninth game, Djokovic broke again to serve for the set at 5-4, but our Champ evened the score and forced the tiebreaker.
"I shouldn't have been broken as often as I was broken today," said Roger, who lost his serve twice in each set. "But then again, that obviously has something to do with Novak, as well. Obviously I was going to try to go after my shots and not just hand it to him. That's just how I play tennis," said Roger. "If I have 80 errors and I win the match, I don't care. I really don't. Maybe a bit of regret because I had the lead twice first before him," said the two-time defending champion. "At the end of the day, that doesn't matter. You have to get over the finish line in the set and then obviously at the match. He was better at that today."
To start the second set, Roger broke Djokovic and then held all the way to 5-3. A game later and serving for the set, he had two set points but put a forehand wide and then another into the net.The breaker included a candidate for the best point of the year as Djokovic, on set point, lunged to clip a diving Roger volley past his opponent, only for the Swiss to contort his body and fire a forehand winner past the Serb from an impossibly acute angle.Two more mistakes from our Champ put Djokovic back on serve and back on track for the title. The Serb closed it out with the backhand passing winner. An amazing game had finished.
You played a fantastic match today, so never mind the loss! You're in great shape to win Grand Slams next year.
Enjoy a good holiday with your family and friends! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you for this wonderful year of tennis; rest well and come back strong in 2013.
Looking forward to next year and your wonderful tennis.
Best wishes to you and the family.
Although the result last night was disappointing, you did a good job and offered us a very wonderful match. Although we felt sad about your failure to be the champion for the 7th time, we are so glad to see you still so enthusiastic for playing tennis and thank you so much for providing us with quite marvelous matches.
We are looking forward to your 2013 season.
Last but not least, keep healthy and never say "Goodbye" to us!

still a maybe - teacher said Alyssa is making great progress and working very hard .... she's thinking January or February Alyssa can get her pointe shoes!!!!!
I'm thrilled and worried at the same time - thrilled because Alyssa wants it so bad, thrilled because it opens new oportunities in Compamy.
But worried - what if her ankles aren't really ready and she hurts herself? Worried about the monetary investment. Worried about the special care her feet will need ... the extra time to get ready for class ...
Torn - but overall happy for her

Walk by the River Lee in Cork City and you'll come across vertical bars embedded in the river wall. Here's one that was bent out of shape by some force, possibly a long time ago. In the background is the Cork Opera House.
The texture and grain of the bar appeals to me. It's not new and shiny and polished. It's old and worn and has a history.
Just bloghopping.
A very powerful picture! Very stylish! Great DOF! Excellent.
I also like your street shots a lot. Nice work !
Very nice, just a shame about the bright spot in the bottom left corner.
Two quick questions if I may be so bold:
1. What size border do you put on your images? The black edge I mean.
2. What's the theme you're using and do you mind if I copy you? I am trying to set up a photo blog as a sub of my main domain but can't find a decent, plain theme to use.
Thanks for the comments! I like the bright spot, it's a traffic light, although according to this that shows that my lens doesn't have very good bokeh. *shrug*
Cornell – the border is 2px wide I think, and the theme is white as milk! It's a lovely theme, and Matt recently added it to WordPress.com too!
Hi Donncha, great picture again, very powerful. About the theme. I wanted to use this one before, since it does show off pictures very well. However, when I used it, about a third of the screen was blank on the right, leaving only, say, the middle third of the page for pictures. I'd like to be able to change this. Any ideas, or would I have to pay a host, download the theme, change the screen width and upload it again using ftp?
Very Wabi http://c2.com/w4/wikibase/?WabiSabi I like it!
I like. The poor bokeh (thanks for the pointer to the def'n) on the traffic lights is a little distracting, though.
Not knowing the area (something which I definitely inted to remedy!), the green spot just looked like a green spot. Now that I know what it is it makes more sense!
Thanks for the info about the theme. Has Matt really just added it to wp.com? *Goes to look* Sweet!
Robert – I had to modify the template alright so it gave more space to the photo. I can't remember now what it was I changed, but if you compare the style sheet here with the one in the whiteasmilk zip file it'll be come obvious!
Do you think you or Matt could do the same over at wp.com? It's the only thing putting off using the theme over there. 😉
Got it. Change widt h:550px in #content to widt h:720px. That should sort it. Thanks again Donncha!
Cheers for that, think I've caught the bug, I'll probably pay for a domain name and host soon and start messing around with themes and stuff.
Thanks for the info.
Rob – it's not just what I said. I have ended stealing Donncha's CSS file and uploading that and it works ok. I'll go through it in a minute and see if there's anything I need to remove. ;o)
I've got a free wordpress account though. Am I right in saying that I can't upload my own theme using ftp or the like?
p.s. sorry about hijacking this thread with theme talk donncha 😉
Robert – You can't upload your own theme unfortunately, but hosting isn't that expensive if you want to go down that route.
I think I probably will go down that route, it's good value for money.
Cheers for the help.
Wonderful shot , the composition works well. Sorry I've been away & thanks for the mention a few posts back 🙂
even if your bokeh is technically bad, i still like it 🙂 and yes i also notice the green dot on the lower left. a bit distracting but i don't mind it. a bent old pipe like this can tell you lots of stories 🙂

"The relationship between labour and capital often shows traits of antagonism that take on new forms with the changing of social and economic contexts. In the past, the origin of the conflict between capital and labour was found above all 'in the fact that the worker put their powers at the disposal of the entrepreneurs, and these, following the principle of maximum profit, tried to establish the lowest possible wages for the work done by the employees (Laborem Exercens)'.
In our present day, this conflict shows aspects that are new and perhaps more disquieting: scientific and technological progress and the globalisation of markets, of themselves a source of development and progress, expose workers to the risk of being exploited by the mechanisms of the economy and by the unrestrained quest for productivity (L'Osservatore Romano)."
Globalisation refers to the breaking down of national boundaries and rendering all aspects of human activity on to a worldwide domain. It represents a new phase in capitalist development, which involves not only production and distribution but also cultural and political changes.
It brings with it the need for countries and businesses to be more flexible and cost effective in order to survive competition. Because of this quest to remain competitive some basic labour/worker rights can be neglected and outright abuses take place.
These include:
However, while these are the more obvious abuses and risks to labour, there are other abuses that are less obvious. "The reference here is not only to the many pockets of non-work, concealed work, child labour, underpaid work, exploitation of workers – all of which still persist today – but also to new, much more subtle forms of exploitation of new sources of work, to over-working, to work-as-career that often takes on more importance than other human and necessary aspects, to excessive demands of work that makes family life unstable and sometimes impossible, to a modular structure of work that entails the risk of serious repercussions on the unitary perception of one's own existence and the stability of family relationships."
Those of us who want to survive in the global economy, now begin the rat race – of forever doing courses to keep abreast; after all, a degree has a shelf life of five years.
In the workplace, we must arrive before the boss gets there in the morning, and make sure we leave the office after most of the other staff, because that proves we are dedicated workers, and we cannot appear to be less committed than our colleagues. We must be first in line for the promotion or any training opportunity.
What happens is that the sense of team spirit in the organisation is eroded. The organisation becomes a place of stress. Further, this extra time dedicated to work erodes from family time and places a strain on family relationships.
Children are left at school for long hours after school has ended, there is no one to assist them with homework; dinner is collected at the nearest fast food outlet, and the list can go on.
"If people are alienated when means and ends are inverted, elements of alienation can also be found in the new contexts of work that is immaterial, light, qualitative more than quantitative, 'either through increased sharing in a genuinely supportive community or through increased isolation in a maze of relationships marked by destructive competitiveness and estrangement (Centesimus Annus)' "

{Excerpted direct quotations from newspaper article ] "What is the hope that can give meaning to life? Without some form of hope, the Holy Father argues that life becomes tedious and potentially burdersome, even if it is marked by material influence and technical progress. The person without hope finds himself in an existential difficulty: For what enduring purpose am I clinging to this life that I love and do not want to lose?"The article goes on later to say, "Hope is not then something for the future alone, a sort of wishful thinking aout what might be; it offers meaning for us today. Christian hope is founded on certain faith that life is not a meaningless riddle, but a mystery progressively revealed and finding the fulfillment in the redemption won by Jesus Christ and offered to all peoples.""In restating this basic Christian doctrine, Benedict argues that it is not only for Christians alone. Others may not share the Christian faith in God, but the Christian proclamation that hope comes from within the person- in the realm of faith and conscience - is for them too. It offers an important protection against stifling and occasionally brutal social systems built on false hopes that come from outside the person, founded on political idealogies, economic models and social theories."

WASHINGTON — Capitalizing on the afterglow from his strong debate performance, Gov. Romney chose the Virginia Military Institute as the setting to deliver what his campaign billed as a major foreign policy speech. Virginia, a must-win state for Romney, is home to several military installations, and until 2008, when Barack Obama carried the state, it hadn't voted for a Democrat for president since Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
Romney's positions on various foreign policy challenges are not that different from Obama's, but he seeks to convey an overall image of greater U.S. strength if he were to become president. He speaks in vague and nostalgic terms that allude to a Reaganesque time in world history when America's strength, both military and economic, was unquestioned.
He criticizes President Obama for "leading from behind," equating the coalition building that Obama has done and the restraint he has shown with weakness. Romney didn't use the word "appeasement;" it is too politically loaded and toxic. But that's the implication of his case against Obama. He says the president has ceded power and retreated from the world, letting down America's traditional allies and allowing enemies to fill the vacuum.
There is no evidence of that, but that doesn't stop Romney from making the accusations. His principle case against Obama rests on the turmoil in the Middle East, which Romney calls a failure of the Arab Spring, and therefore Obama's failure. He cites Obama's refusal to arm the rebels in Syria. He also draws his red line with Iran a bit sooner than the president does, when the mullahs have the capability to make a bomb, not when and if they decide to take the step.
Romney didn't actually say that as president he would arm the Free Syrian Army, he said that he would make sure they got the heavy arms they need. It was tricky wording leaving the impression that he would directly intervene while at the same time providing him an out should he become president.
The Obama administration is providing non-lethal aid while the Saudis are giving weapons to the Syrian insurgents. The administration has said no to surface to air missiles, which if they got into the wrong hands could be turned on the U.S. and its allies. There is enormous sympathy within the administration and throughout the Western world for the Syrian people, but there is extreme reluctance to arm radical jihadists, and not enough information about which factions are in control.
Obama is practicing restraint, and there is a difference between judicious restraint and appeasement. Obama inherited two wars and there is no public appetite for or backing for a third war in a Muslim country. He intervened in Libya as part of the NATO coalition, an engagement that gave rise to the phrase "leading from behind." Libya was a success and no U.S. lives were lost until Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others were killed in what the administration now characterizes as a terrorist attack in Benghazi.
No question that what happened in Benghazi is a tragedy and a likely lapse in embassy security, but it doesn't add up to an indictment of Obama's foreign policy. Obama gets high marks from the American people for how he has conducted himself, and deservedly so.
Those who judge strength by military prowess alone should recall the Cuban missile crisis when President Kennedy stood firm against both the Soviets and his own military advisors. General Curtis LeMay ridiculed Kennedy behind his back as weak and vacillating because the president wouldn't bomb nuclear sites in Cuba. He didn't realize his remarks were being recorded, and that Kennedy's approach, continued dialogue bolstered by a naval blockade, would be vindicated. He called the peaceful end to the standoff "the greatest defeat in our history." He got it wrong. Restraint is not appeasement.

1st Day TX – 03.26.07
First day in TX and the weather just wasn't our friend. Woke up to rain and cloudy skies which turned into a cloudy and really windy day. None the less, Laurie & I put in a full day and at times, had some really good shooting. How good?
Well, Laurie & I thought we might do a little dueling blogging this week. She's going to post an image or two, and so will I each day, our favorites. You can look at the images and decide who had the better day. Of course, we all win because if nothing else, well have fun. Here's #1, a Cactus Wren.

DETROIT (Reuters) - Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said on Monday he has not offered the job of emergency financial manager of Detroit to anyone but does have a "short list" of candidates if he decides that the state should take over management of the city. "I have a short list," Snyder told reporters after a luncheon speech to the Detroit regional Chamber of Commerce. "I haven't made an offer to anyone. We're talking to people." The Detroit News reported on Sunday, quoting anonymous sources, that Snyder had selected an emergency manager, offered the

Oh, the princess does love her pink. There are days when we wonder if this little fashionista really thought things through before choosing her signature color. (Her closet looks like a Barbie convention.) But how can you deny how fantastic this famous princess pug looks in pink? And so she sniffs at us, and lifts her eyes delicately to the ceiling, as though to tell us that she really does know best.
Divas. And you thought dealing with the ones in Hollywood was a lot of work! :)
The princess, being the maven for pink that she is, was doubly delighted to receive our latest package from Mrs. Bones, the brilliant company behind some of Merry's favorite collars.
In this package: a Carnaby Dog Collar & Leash, and a Couture Logo Shirt for Dogs in pink.
The Couture Logo Shirt is actually a form-fitting tank with just enough stretch in it to really mold to your dog's curves. We'll tell you a secret, too. About half of the tees and tanks you see on the market are made by the same two or three manufacturers. Which means you can get sick of a style awfully easily. But these tanks are brand new, custom-made for Mrs. Bones and they're cut expertly.
The tank is made from a thicker, frankly more expensive material than you see with a lot of doggie tees. One touch and you can feel the quality in the work. The Couture Logo, screened onto this shirt in green, was glossy and high-quality. No scrimping or cutting corners here. The shirts are also available in black with a silver logo. Merry's already added it to her letter to Santa for this year.
And as you can see, it fits the princess like it was made just for her. (OK, we told her it actually was. But look at how regally she posed in it as a result!)
The Carnaby Dog Collar & Leash is full of the kind of quality and fun that we already associate with Mrs. Bones collars. Incredibly well made, with excellent materials and workmanship. The white background and funky retro pink and green flowers were a hoot, and it's quickly become one of her favorite sets.
The company's trademark gold-toned findings are as solid as ever, though we do wish that companies could find a supplier who makes white quick-release buckles of sufficient quality. It's not hideous, but the black definitely stands out against the white of the collar. (However, we will say that the ease of use gained by quick-release buckles make up for it!)
As always, we were thrilled to bits with the new items from Mrs. Bones. Both items are of the highest possible quality, and would make a more than welcome addition to any little diva's wardrobe. Four paws up!

Bodies of 2 men found in brush fire
Lisa Colagrossi reports from Queens
Stabilizer: Since the corporate media became infotainment, they are either owned by war corporations or get massive advertising revenue from war corporations, Thus though we are spending 75% of our taxes on war without cause, the news never mentions it. They get massive advertising revenue from drug pushing companies. Thus, nothing is ever mentioned that health care in the USA costs SEVEN TIMES as much as countries with single payer health care. There are real political issues that NEED TO BE DISCUSSED. However, they get massive advertising revenue from both wings of the US political party. Thus, issues are never mentioned. They never report news, only personality issues (gossip)

Breast Cancer
|Study ID
|Breast Cancer
|Phase III
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving paclitaxel together with trastuzumab and/or lapatinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known which regimen is more effective in treating patients with breast cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying paclitaxel to see how well it works when given together with trastuzumab and/or lapatinib in treating patients with stage II or stage III breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.

Layups: Check Out Slate's Sports Podcast, "Hang Up And Listen"
Posted by Neil Paine on September 1, 2010
Today I wanted to throw a quick shoutout to Josh Levin, Stefan Fatsis, Mike Pesca, and the rest of the crew over at Slate magazine for their weekly sports podcast "Hang Up And Listen." In a nutshell, it's actually intelligent sports talk (I know, what a concept) about the week's most prominent subjects, along with a trivia segment from Pesca that usually stumps this Sports-Reference employee, and a few words on topics that may have slipped under the radar.
Why am I linking to it now? Well, I found it a week ago and became a devotee because it entertained me during a very tedious data entry project (I've listened to a year's worth of archives in about 12 days). I realize it's currently out of season for basketball, but if you're a sports fan and you like podcasts, put this on your playlist right below the legendary PFR podcast (which, incidentally, I made a cameo on last week and will have another trivia-based appearance coming soon).
