|Keep Your Cool While the Power's Out

Safe Electricity offers tips for weathering prolonged power outages
Severe summer storms can cause outages that last days. When a power outage occurs during hot weather, take steps to maintain safety and comfort until power is restored.
High winds that topple utility poles and power lines cause many summer outages. It's important to stay clear of downed power lines at all times, even during cleanup efforts. Be alert to the possibility that tree limbs or debris may hide an electrical hazard.
Assume that any dangling wires you encounter are electrical and treat all downed or hanging lines as if they are energized and dangerous. If you are driving and come upon a downed power line, stay in your vehicle, warn others to stay away and contact emergency personnel or your electric utility. Also when driving, be careful at intersections where traffic lights may be out.
If power to your home is out for a prolonged period, know and understand important safety precautions and steps to cope with heat until power is restored:
During an outage, Safe Electricity recommends turning off electrical appliances and unplugging major equipment, including air conditioning units, computers and televisions. Power sometimes comes back in surges, which can damage electronics. Your circuits could overload when power returns if all your electronics are still on and plugged in. Leave one light on to indicate that power has been restored. Wait a few minutes then turn on other appliances and equipment one at a time.
If you use a standby generator, make sure a transfer safety switch is used or connect the appliance(s) directly to the generator output through an isolated circuit before you operate it. This prevents electricity from traveling back through the power lines, what's known as "back feed." Back feed creates danger for anyone near lines, particularly crews working to restore power.

Oh, I just love the picture of Ivy. She's full of CUTE!ReplyDelete
I think you're right about the crazy moon yesterday Steph. Yesterday my baby's crying was going to be the death of me, but today? Today his adorable chubby cheeks might be. I'm glad all is well with you and yours too.ReplyDelete
your camera is amazing to get such a clear picture of that ladybug. Looks like a much better day all around.ReplyDelete
Darling photos.
Ivy's face is precious!!!!ReplyDelete
You are so right. Yesterday, Luke was a wreck. He woke up crazy and went to bed crazy, but today? Oh, sweetness and hugs and light and a nap that's been going on for almost two hours now.ReplyDelete
I love Ivy :)
Glad today has been better!
Look at those pictures. The ladybug, and Ivy, and oh... they are so adorable.ReplyDelete
The photographs are amazing. Your talent is growing and growing.
These are wonderful but I LOVE Ivy's little scrunched up face!ReplyDelete
Glad today was better! : )ReplyDelete
I don't think you can get any closer to perfect!ReplyDelete
That second photo is amazing. She is so funny.
We've been cycling through the feisty days and the calm days too, weighted, to be honest, in the feisty direction. I haven't been blogging or anything, just dealing with the feist.
Ladybugs have been going crazy around here, love that you were able to snap one :)ReplyDelete
I'm holding out hope for the perfect tomorrow. I'll let you know how that turns out.ReplyDelete
We have to hold on to these days tightly because they are so few and far between sometimes. But isn't it amazing that at night -- after they are all asleep -- the craziness and stress of the day magically disappears within an hour. And we are refreshed (and hopeful) for tomorrow. Hope your tomorrow is another good day!ReplyDelete
Fabulous photos today!
I love how your kids always have their favorite "luvee" (as we call them) with them at the park.
It is just so sweet to me!
That sound pretty perfect to me!ReplyDelete
oh these pictures gave me chills. each one perfect in their own right. beautiful!ReplyDelete

NORDEN, Calif. - On Sept. 23, the Donner Summit Area Association (DSAA) sponsored a benefit concert that raised more than $8,000 for the Royal Gorge acquisition. The Truckee Donner Land Trust (TDLT) and the Trust for Public Land worked with Serene Lakes Property Owners Association (SLPOA), Sugar Bowl Corporation and Homeowners, the North Fork Association, The Palisades, Sierra Watch, and many others to acquire the property.
On Monday, Oct. 1, the conservation groups placed a $500,000 deposit on the property and will need to raise a total of $11.25 million by Dec. 20, 2012, when the purchase is scheduled to be finalized.
Donner Summit residents have been active in the fundraising campaign and taking every opportunity to raise awareness and funds. An outdoor concert at a historic spot in September seemed like a good way to raise funds and celebrate the acquisition at the same time. Curious concert-goers parked in the lot donated by Donner Ski Ranch, gathered above the historic train tunnels of Donner Summit and after some brief introductions, enjoyed a brass quintet from the Sacramento Philharmonic, followed by a performance from Rootstock Percussion. After the concert, attendees enjoyed a reception at the lovely Lake Mary Cabin at Sugar Bowl.
Food donated by Sugar Bowl, Dragonfly, Moody's, Cottonwood, and the Summit Restaurant was served at the lakeside dining area provided by Sugar Bowl. DSAA volunteers served wine donated by Dave Lose, of Serene Lakes, the Pour House, and the Soda Springs General Store. Placer County Supervisor, Jennifer Montgomery, announced that at a Sept. 20 meeting, the Donner Summit Municipal Advisory Council (DSMAC) recommended that $300,000 in local parks mitigation funds be committed to the Royal Gorge acquisition. Supervisor Montgomery was on hand selling the photography work of her husband, Dan Gomez, donating the proceeds to the Land Trust. Perry Norris of TDLT pleased the crowd when he announced an anonymous donor pledged to match funds raised on Sunday. Norris introduced Sam Hodder, California director of the Trust for Public Land, who spoke of the national importance of the Royal Gorge acquisition.
In other news, Norris announced that with the help of this concert and the fundraising efforts of many other groups, it's on track raise the entire amount by the December deadline.
The purchase of Royal Gorge as open space, with the restoration of a world class Nordic ski resort will be a huge step toward addressing the ongoing concerns of the regional environment and economy. Just a few years ago, the Donner Summit community faced the possibility of large residential developments on the Royal Gorge lands. Now, those who were concerned about Donner Summit's future are stepping up to leave a legacy of conservation and recreation.

Investigates Hot Links: Thursday, April 23, 2009
Here are a few public-interest stories catching our eye in The Dallas Morning News and around the Web-o-sphere:
1. A sports development without public financing? Minor league baseball near downtown Dallas? That's what these guys say. The site was once considered for the new Cowboys stadium, which is now going up in Arlington. Last we heard, development was not exactly booming in that area. Or at Dallas' Victory project.
2. I like wine just fine. But I'm not so sure about the Texas Legislature's priorities. Lawmakers can't seem to pass a bill requiring pharmaceutical companies to report the gifts they give to health care providers, Dallas Morning News investigative reporter Emily Ramshaw reports. But they are suspending rules and fast-tracking a bill that would allow BYOB at restaurants. Here's the official analysis of S.B. 2523.
3. When illegal immigrants go to jail in the United States, what happens to their children? Some are being adopted by citizens, The New York Times reports.
Did I miss a good story? Or do you have a tip? Send me an e-mail and let me know.

Q. Several years ago, I read about the soy sauce remedy in The People's Pharmacy. Luckily, we always have large quantities of soy sauce in the house.
Since that day, anytime I burn myself in the kitchen, I immediately grab the soy sauce and start pouring like there's no tomorrow. Never have I been disappointed!
Last night, while stir-frying, I decided to take out a green bean and taste it. I didn't realize just how hot it was, considering it was only in the wok a very short time. I burned my bottom lip.
I quickly grabbed a large spoon, filled it with soy sauce and "soaked" my lip for a minute or two. I thought for sure I'd have a blister by morning, but everything is hunky-dory. I was happy to be able to kiss my husband good night!
A. We first heard about this remedy from a reader in Oregon who had burned his hand while blending hot soup. Applying soy sauce prevented a trip to the emergency department.
While serious burns deserve immediate medical attention, many other readers agree that cold water and soy sauce work wonders for everyday kitchen burns.
Q. I'd like to share some cold remedies you may not know about. One can purchase ginger tea (ginger slices preserved in honey) in Asian food stores. It makes a wonderful tonic, much stronger than the tea I make with sliced ginger root.
They also sell honey citron tea. I used to teach English to families from South Korea in their homes. If I ever had a cough or a sniffle, the mothers would serve me honey citron tea. It is very soothing, though I doubt that anything other than time actually cures a cold.
A. Ginger is a time-tested home remedy for colds, coughs and congestion. Thyme tea also can ease a cough. We offer recipes for both in our Guide to Colds, Coughs and the Flu. Anyone who would like a copy, please send $3 in check or money order with a long (No. 10), stamped (65 cents), self-addressed envelope to: Graedons' People's Pharmacy, No. Q-20, P.O. Box 52027, Durham, NC 27717-2027. It also can be downloaded for $2 from our website: www.peoplespharmacy.com.
We also discuss other approaches that can be helpful for such infections, including the Chinese herbs Andrographis paniculata and Astragalus membranaceus (Alternative Medicine Review, March 2011; March 2007).
Q. Several years ago, my blood pressure was 210/100. I took the prescribed medication, but also started reading up on ways to control hypertension naturally.
I read that low-carbohydrate diets lower blood pressure, blood sugar and triglycerides. I cut back on bread, rarely eat pasta or other grains and don't eat much fruit but do get lots of nonstarchy vegetables. I eliminated sugar, and in the next few months my blood pressure dropped to about 120/80 even without meds.
I never cut back on salt, and blood tests show my sodium is right where it should be. I suggest cutting carbs instead of salt.
My blood pressure is around 110/68 at home, but it still pops up to 140/80 at the doctor's office. I take my monitor with me so my doctor can check my recent readings and test it against her meter.
A. Bravo! Your low-carb dietary approach works for losing weight, lowering cholesterol and controlling blood sugar.
There is evidence to support your use of this approach for hypertension (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, November 2009).

Tuesday, June 3, 2014
When Ashlee Rollisons friends come across a bug or spider in their rooms she knows their initial instinct is to kill it.
Rollison, however, takes a different approach she prefers to capture the little critter and release it back into its habitat, something that reflects her love for all living things.
Rollison, 34, is the STEAM instructor at Joseph R. Pye Elementary, and this is the first year the school has had a STEAM initiative.
The acronym stands for Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics.
For the first three quarters of the school year Rollison taught STEAM to second through fifth graders, and then kindergarten through second graders in the last quarter and she has greatly enjoyed teaching the course.
Rollison has been teaching a total of 11 years, and this is her eighth year in the district. At Pye Elementary she formerly taught third grade math, science and social studies. She previously worked at Spann Elementary before she followed Spanns former principal Wanda Williams to Pye Elementary.
As a college student Rollison initially went into Radford University in Virginia thinking she was going to major in communications. After her freshman year of college she took a job as a swimming instructor at a 4H camp and fell in love with teaching kids.
As soon as I worked with the kids I knew thats what I wanted to do, she said. I liked that aha moment and I wanted to get that every day.
Rollison went on to study elementary education with a concentration in English and special education. However, she has always loved math and science which is why she likes being the STEAM instructor.
I love this position because thats what I get to do all day, she said.
Rollison also has her masters in education through Southern Wesleyan University. After finishing school she moved from Richmond, Va. to South Carolina wanting to be near the beach and away from snow.
Since becoming a teacher Rollison said she has never had any particular bad experiences but her favorite experience has been becoming the STEAM instructor.
Ive loved teaching this year, she said. I was able to still teach children but still work with the teachers. Its been a real enriching experience.
In STEAM Rollison tries to empower her students to be creative and critical thinkers skills they will use for the rest of their lives.
Were making a big impact on all my students, she said.
Outside the classroom Rollison has stayed active being a part of the Administrators Instructional Leadership Team and the Sunshine Committee. On the STEAM committee she has planned events for her students such as getting business leaders to come and talk to students. She has also served as a Robotics coach, along with kindergarten teacher Starlynn Atkins.
Rollisons professional goal is to continue learning so she can give her students the skills they need to be successful.
I want to know what my students need to be productive citizens when they grow up, she said.
Outside of school Rollison is an active married mother of two. She has been married to her husband Chris for nine years and together they have their daughter Addie, who is 6 and just finished kindergarten at Pye Elementary, and their 4-year-old son Ridge. The family also has an 11-year-old black lab named Cooper who is 100 pounds and thinks he is a lap dog, according to Rollison.
Rollison is an avid reader and does many things with her family. They love to go camping, hang out on their boat, hike and enjoy being outside. Rollison loves the beach and animals, and has done service projects with the school for the Summerville SPCA.
We participate in many things here but thats one that is near and dear to my heart, she said.
Rollisons life goal is to be the best person she can be, and be respectful of all living things and give back to the community.
I want to be a blessing to someone else which is one of the reasons why I became a teacher, she said.

Hey i know this is off the topic of anime or manga but what do you guys think of the new movie that's com in out on nov 21 Twilight i waant to see it soo bad, especially since it's abiut vampires.
... and I LOVE anything that has to do with vampires LOL! But I want to finish reading the book before I see the movie... I'm halfway through the book....Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana Otaku Sovereign"Innoscence Activate!"
I think the movie will be better to watch than read the book. Even though everyobe still reads the book version.
Then if u read twilight series u'll really enjoy the last bookBREAKING DAWN it is soo good and soo romantic hot because edward and bell get real serious in the book.On the other hand jacob gets CRAZYLY in love with Edward and bella's child (LOL)So, try reading it!
I might rent it when it comes to DVD. To me, (In popularity) this is just the next Harry Potter... though I am not going to throw it away because of that of course! =D I will try and see the movie once it comes to DVD!
Well the book was great i can only imagine seeing it come to life. theyve done a good job with the harry potter movies so yeah i would say see it. the next book New Moon is also good ive read about half so i cant wait for the rest of the books Hope is last to Die!
The books are good, I hope the movie lives up. My heart is like a bird that has lost its wings and cannot fly. Anxiously seeking its lost wings, my heart is searching resolutely for you.
well my afternoon classes today got cancelled so my friends and i had nothing to do so we went to the mall and saw that the twilight movie was still showing at the cinema so we watched... hmmm honestly it started as really and i mean really boring to me (at least to me coz that was how i saw it, but it may be different to you guys, lol so no offense ^_^) it almost made me doze off to sleep and mind you my friend was sitting beside me and he literally went to sleep *rolls eyes*... but it got better as it progressed, really really got better and in the end proved to be something worth my time... it was good... well that's all i'm saying... haha you'll know once you get to watch it... ^_^oh by the way, i haven't read the books yet so i can't make any comparisons and i dunno if the movie lives up to the book or not... lol ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth,so how would you know which one is the truth and which one is a lie,how will you ever know if a man is what he says?..."
i saw it twice now and i love it. follows the book pretty well, with some minor tweeks that are essential to keep it at a reasonable length. It has one of my favorite linkin park songs durning the ending credits too so that's alway a plus. "Someone once told me you can't put a price on human life, although when push comes to shove the price suddenly becomes negotiable"
It was very chick-flick-ish. I will still try and see it once it comes to DVD.
it's a vampire love story so it is a little bit of a chick flick, but also a good date movie for those of you you care. there is enough action to keep the guys from being too bored. "Someone once told me you can't put a price on human life, although when push comes to shove the price suddenly becomes negotiable"
I've read the book and will have something to compare it to. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819Yahoo IM: georgia_morgan66
they really did the book justice when making the movie. The only real difference I saw was the part when Edward & Bella went to the forest and he stood in the sunlight so she could see what he really looked like-- all sparkly like diamonds-- in the book they were in a field on a warm day and he took off his shirt & they just layed there together for a long time talking and taking/getting used to her scent. I guess if you're a guy it might seem kinda of chick-flickish, but still it was awsome and I think even real guy would enjoy seeing it. Dewa Mata,Niji-Hana"Innoscence Activate" http://view.playlist.com/13500951819
i'm waiting for it to come out on DVD so i can have my own copy...lolyeah you''re right... some of my friends (who're boys) watched it and said the same thing... it's a chick-flick... but they still enjoyed it just the same... lol ^_^~Crescent"...beneath the truth lies a lie and behind lies hides the truth..."
Twilight movie is my favorite romantic thriller flick. I like this movie a lot.Its wonderful.

H1N1 (previously referred to as "swine flu") is an influenza virus that causes illness in people. This new virus was first detected in the United States in April 2009. When H1N1 was first detected, the University was fortunate to have experts on the subject that came together to provide guidance on how to prevent the spread of the virus (see experts list).
With help from these experts and others on campus, the Infections Disease Emergency Preparedness Planning (IDEPP) Committee developed a comprehensive infectious disease prevention and response plan, as well as, the following protocols for managing pandemics and other infectious diseases:

FOLLY BEACH - If former City Administrator Toni Connor-Rooks defeats incumbent Mayor Tim Goodwin on April 1, there's a possibility that it will cost her $100,000 for a position that pays only $800 a month.
The pricey situation stems from a May 29 agreement that Goodwin, Connor-Rooks and City Attorney Ben Peeples signed when she resigned the administrator post after 17 years.
Goodwin said he couldn't talk much about the severance agreement or its impact on the mayoral campaign, but many others are talking about it. After a copy of the agreement was posted on the "Follitics" Facebook page, it drew almost 500 comments.
That pact says if Connor-Rooks returns to work for Folly Beach "in any capacity, she agrees to pay back the ($100,000) amount paid to her under this agreement prior to resuming employment with the city."
Connor-Rooks said that's not the language she remembers in the agreement. She said her attorney's latest draft stipulated that she would agree to repay the money if she was rehired as "a city administrator or any similar supervisory position within 36 months from the date of this agreement."
Connor-Rooks said that language apparently is not in the contract she signed, adding, "I was very emotional that morning. I had to be out by 5 o'clock. I was hurrying trying to get out, and I signed it and did not reread it."
"I don't see where it's really relevant," Connor-Rooks said, adding that she has not heard much feedback on it. "It doesn't have a thing to do with the issues of this race. We have to look to the future and not in that rear-view mirror back there because we can't change anything."
She has her defenders on the Follitics Facebook site. "Considering how much money she's brought to Folly Beach in her 17 years of service alone, I'd say she's earned every penny of that $100,000," one supportive post read.
Another said she wasn't sure if Connor-Rooks would have to pay the money back, "but as a homeowner that worries about paying my taxes and insurances to stay here it angers me that the city had to put out that kind of money because two grown adults could not work together."
And former Mayor Vernon Knox weighed in, saying, "The mayor is NOT a city employee. The mayor is elected by the voters of Folly Beach. She is not asking for employment but running for a public office."
Peeples, Folly's attorney, said the mayor appears to be an employee because the position receives a modest salary and gets a W-2 form and the right to buy health insurance coverage from the state, an option only city employees are eligible for.
"Of course you can contest anything," Peeples added. "There's always space for an argument."
If Connor-Rooks were to win April 1 and refuse to pay back the $100,000, City Council could work with her to modify the agreement or simply overlook it, or the city could refuse to swear her in, he said.
Peeples said if City Council were to overlook the agreement, a new question would arise: Would another Folly Beach resident or taxpayer have the legal standing to sue to make her pay? "I don't know the answer to that," he said.
Both candidates have said their mayoral race has seen little mudslinging - aside from overheated exchanges on the Follitics Facebook site. And that might be related to the May 29 agreement, too, which also says "both parties agree to refrain from making any remarks or statements that could be construed to disparage the character or reputation of the other."
Goodwin said he was trying hard to abide by that agreement. "?'Disparaging' I guess is in the eye of the beholder, but I'm doing the best I can."
After Connor-Rooks filed to run in January, Goodwin said of Connor-Rooks' departure that he had expected her to work from City Hall instead of home and that council wanted her to secure more grant funds than she did.
He said that her attorney approached the city and said she wanted to retire.
Former Mayor Bob Linville said at the time that Connor-Rooks "was forced out, pure and simple."
Connor-Rooks said then that working for Goodwin for three years "was the most difficult time of my life in my working career."
Now, Connor-Rooks said while she did not want to leave her administrator's post, she has not made disparaging comments about Goodwin.
"I wouldn't go there anyway," she said. "That's not who I am."
Peeples said if either wanted to criticize the other in the context of the campaign, they are probably fine. "That part of the agreement probably carries more moral than legal weight," he said.
Reach Robert Behre at 937-5771.

CLEMSON Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said the LSU-Clemson matchup in the Chick-fil-A Bowl on Dec. 31 is like a BCS bowl game. National publications agree with Swinney.
Both Sports Illustrated and ESPN rank the Chick-fil-A Bowl as the fourth best bowl matchup this postseason, trailing only the BCS title game, the Fiesta Bowl and Cotton Bowl.
Clemson center Dalton Freeman also believes pitting No. 8 LSUs defense against No. 14 Clemsons offense is a compelling matchup.
This game has a BCS feel to it, Freeman said. Its the biggest non-BCS game.
LSU a BCS-sized challenge
Freeman also knows the challenge Clemson faces Dec. 31, particularly, the offensive front which faces an elite defensive front.
They dont have anyone on their team that doesnt raise an eyebrow, Freeman said.
Clemson allowed six sacks to a similarly talented South Carolina defensive line last month.
There was some physical things. We did simply get beat a couple times, Freeman said. But there were also some (mental mistakes).
Breeland should be back
Clemson cornerback Xavier Brewer said fellow corner Bashaud Breeland should be back for the bowl game after missing the South Carolina game with an injury.
Different looks
Look for LSU to give Clemson multiple defensive looks in Atlanta.
They can blitz and play man on the outside because they are that talented, Freeman said, but at the same time they can drop and believe their guys can beat you upfront with one-on-one matchups.

LOCKPORT – One of the defendants in the shooting of an 18-year-old Niagara Falls man rejected a plea offer Tuesday, while a co-defendant was allowed to change lawyers in the wake of a judge's public criticism of the attorney's job performance.
Jacob J. Taggart, 23, turned down an offer to plead guilty to a Class D felony with a seven-year maximum prison sentence. Deputy District Attorney Doreen M. Hoffmann said Taggart, a repeat felon, risks a 25-year sentence if convicted as charged.
"He does understand that, and he wants to go forward to trial," said Frank L. LoTempio, Taggart's attorney.
Meanwhile, co-defendant Paul E. Buck Jr., 23, asked for a new lawyer.
Assistant Public Defender Matthew P. Pynn said in court that Buck told him he lacked confidence in him.
Two weeks ago, Murphy blasted Pynn in open court because neither he nor Hoffmann questioned Niagara Falls Detective John Conti regarding Buck's repeated requests to halt police questioning over the shooting of Anthony McDougald, 18, who was gunned down April 25 at 12th and Niagara streets.
McDougald survived with a bullet still lodged in his chest. Taggart, Buck and Marlyn M. Rubin, 20, have been indicted on assault and gang assault charges.
Although it's unclear who fired the shot, eyewitnesses placed all three at the scene, and McDougald testified at a preliminary hearing that he saw Taggart and Buck holding guns.
Conti testified in an evidentiary hearing Oct. 2 that Buck never asked to stop the interrogation. Murphy said that was belied by a 70-minute DVD of the interview, which the judge said showed Buck asking repeatedly to leave.
Two weeks ago, Murphy asked if either attorney had actually watched the video. He said, "If I were to make a decision on this record, the defense attorney would be subject to a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel if there were a conviction."
When presented Tuesday with Buck's vote of no confidence in Pynn, Murphy at first said, "I have a great deal of confidence."
But moments later, the judge conceded, "Under the circumstances, I can see how Mr. Buck would come to that conclusion."
Buck's case was adjourned until Nov. 21, when he will be represented by his new attorney, Dominic Saraceno of the county conflict defender's office. A date for the resumption of the evidentiary hearing, with expected questions to Conti about what Murphy called his "dubious denial," is expected to be scheduled after that.
The delay in settling the admissibility of Buck's statements also resulted in a delay in Murphy ruling on the request from Phillip Dabney Jr., Rubin's lawyer, for a separate trial for his client.
Rubin, Buck and Taggart were scheduled to be tried together starting Dec. 17, but Tuesday, Murphy postponed the trial until Jan. 28.

The Top 5 SEC storylines for Week 3:
Manziel muzzled. He's the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner preparing to guide Texas A&M into a much-anticipated rematch with Alabama this week. But Johnny Football – aka Johnny Paycheck, aka Johnny Big Mouth – won't talk to the assembled media in College Station before the game on the advice of his family and attorneys, Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin said. This probably won't go over well when Heisman votes are counted. But a win over Alabama goes a long way in making action outshine a loss for words.
Fighting Gamecocks. Perhaps you noticed that South Carolina assistant coaches Deke Adams and Kirk Botkin were the undercard Saturday at the Jadeveon Clowney-Aaron Murray main event in Athens. Head coach Steve Spurrier says everything is fine now, except that the Gamecocks better get lined up faster for foes looking to capitalize on their confusion.
Scandal Week. Yahoo! Sports reports that five SEC players received impermissible cash benefits last year from former Alabama defensive end Luther Davis, who was acting as a go-between for agents and players. Sports Illustrated says Oklahoma State players received academic and cash benefits during current LSU head coach Les Miles' tenure in Stillwater. So expect the weakening NCAA to do nothing.
Cam Cameron. The longtime former NFL head coach and offensive coordinator is paying immediate dividends as LSU's offensive coordinator. Zach Mettenberger simply is a better quarterback, which is why LSU in wins over TCU and Alabama-Birmingham has jumped from 11th in the SEC in pass efficiency in 2012 to third so far this year.
New chance for Ole Miss. Texas gave up 550 rushing yards last week at BYU and Ole Miss rushed for 206 yards in a season-opening win at Vanderbilt. Can the Rebels cash in Saturday night in Austin?

A few months ago, pediatric dentist Dr. Paul Weiss sent a letter to his patients announcing an addition to his staff. The letter included a photo of the friendly face they might see during visits and a paw print acting as a signature from Weiss' golden retriever, Brooke, a certified therapy dog.
Brooke, now 4, started off spending one morning a week at the dental office in East Amherst, where the waiting room is painted in bright colors and furnished with a small table and chairs, art supplies, an old-fashioned video game terminal and an electronic piano keyboard. But the demand for appointments on "Brooke days" was so great that she now works there on both Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
"Our mission is really to make kids comfortable coming to the dentist, to keep them coming back," says Weiss, who has operated the practice for 23 years. "We want to make sure their dental experience is positive, and Brooke is one more means to accomplish that."
Brooke's presence at the practice has drawn lots of attention over the past 10 days, after a sweet photo of her stretched out in the dental chair next to a young patient was posted on Facebook and shared thousands of times.
One woman who saw that photo sent an email saying that she wished she had the opportunity to interact with a friendly dog during her childhood dental visits. Another person who lives past Batavia called to make an appointment at Weiss' office, says Pam Gerwurz, the office's scheduling coordinator.
People posting on the office's Facebook page from all over the country lauded Weiss for the idea. One woman wrote, "Dr. Weiss, I wish you were here in Massachusetts, because I would certainly be brave enough to go to the dentist if I knew such a wonderful pup would be sitting on my lap."
Weiss says he got the idea of having Brooke certified as a therapy dog after seeing her interactions with people they met on walks near their Williamsville home.
"I noticed that people would look down at her and smile," says Weiss. "I thought, 'She's probably got a higher purpose in life than just being the family pet.' "
Because of their ability to reduce stress and comfort people, therapy animals are now permitted in many institutional and medical settings, including hospitals and nursing homes. Weiss researched the use of therapy dogs in dental offices and found a few others across the country. He had Brooke trained to pass the Therapy Dog International certification test, an hours-long evaluation of the dog's temperament and ability to cope with distractions and surprises.
Weiss also brought Brooke to work on days off to acclimate her to the sounds, sights and smells of the office. After passing her test, she was ready to start work, and the letter was sent to patients.
In the letter, Weiss explained that Brooke is bathed weekly before her work days and the office is thoroughly cleaned and vacuumed after she leaves.
During the day, Tracy Seiler, who works at the front desk, keeps close tabs on Brooke as she moves around the open-plan office, which has a 120-gallon saltwater aquarium and a large bulletin board covered with photos of youngsters with the dog. "Basically, I follow her," says Seiler, though Brooke obeys instantly when called.
Brooke greets people by approaching slowly for petting. After a few minutes, she is back to work, sitting close by a young patient during an exam.
If invited and told "Brooke, place," she will climb carefully onto the dental chair, settling down next to the patient. Weiss says that the young man in the photo that has become popular on Facebook, a longtime patient, asked him that day, "If I tell you that I'm scared, can I have the dog on my lap?"
On a recent morning, Brooke shared the chair with Nathan White, 3, as he had his first checkup.
"I think seeing the dog helped him out a lot," said Nathan's dad, Chris White, of Lancaster. Baby sister Nora, 1, was also delighted to see Brooke. "We have a dog at home about the same size, and as soon as Nora saw this dog, she started saying, 'Jake!' " said White. "The dog hopped right up on the chair with him, and Nathan did great."
Brooke also sat with Michael Dispenza, 13, after a dental procedure. She placed her head under Michael's hand for petting, then hopped up on a short stool brought over so she could get closer. Finally, she joined him on the chair.
Michael's parents, Paul and Melissa Dispenza of Amherst, said they have been bringing Michael and his sister, Samantha, 15, to see Weiss since the children were toddlers. "We were excited when we got the letter saying Brooke would be at the office, because we are all dog-lovers," said Melissa Dispenza.
Brooke, whose parents were both Canadian show dogs, is Weiss' first dog, purchased after years of lobbying by his son, Jake, now 20.
Brooke not only cheers up patients, she brightens the day for the staff, too, says employee Mindy Solecki. "People say, 'The patients must love it when Brooke is there,' and I say, "The staff loves it, too!' "
"It changes the whole atmosphere in the office when she is here," says Weiss. "She can read energy very well and has the proper temperament for this work."
Pet Tales update: Back in May, officers of the HEART Animal Rescue & Adoption Team were looking for a new home after the building in which the group rents space at 48 Buffalo St. in Hamburg was put up for sale. But the sale fell through, and the group is still operating its adoptions center on a month-to-month basis in the storefront. While the future at that address is uncertain, the group also has opened an adoption center in Transitowne Plaza, 4219 Transit Road, Clarence.
"We are committed to remaining in Hamburg, but we were lucky enough to connect with a group of people who wanted to work with us in the Northtowns," says Sharon Gorman, vice president of HEART. "It's not as saturated with animal adoption centers out there, and we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity. We have been getting some nice adoptions, but because it's so new, people don't know that we're there."
The storefront has a logo in the window but no sign yet. It is open from noon to 6 p.m. six days a week except Sunday, when it is open by appointment. Call 225-1183 for more information.
"It's a very nice little place," says Gorman. "It's very welcoming, it's kept very clean, and the cats and kittens are free-roaming."
Plans for the Transitowne adoption center include a possible pet pantry, says Gorman. "We want to give back to the public a little bit."
Other adoption centers in local shopping malls include ones operated at the Walden Galleria and Eastern Hills Mall by the SPCA Serving Erie County. The Tabby Town cat adoption center in McKinley Mall in Blasdell is operated by Friends for Felines.

Actually in many ways it is as it operates under the same rules that religions fall under. Simply put, there is nor proof that a God does or does not exist. Therefore if you say there is no God that is a faith based statement.

Faith is something someone believes based off of no real reasoning, logic, or physical evidence. While there may not be any physical evidence of a god, reasoning and logic tell us otherwise.
Can God create a rock too heavy for him to pick up?
That's proof enough. One of the characteristics of a god is omnipotence, and it's an all or nothing slot.

Actually that is simply a cop out. Since there is no actual evidence proving without a doubt that God exists then you have to believe god does not exists. either way it is based on faith. Try to justify it anyway you like. The fact remains that until you can prove God does not exist you are believing he does not.

Reply -1(08/01/2012) [-]
No. Not believing in something does not take faith. There are things pointing against the belief in any god. Whether or not it definitively proves there is no god doesn't matter, I don't have "faith" there is no god. I'm quite sure there is no god. I have a belly button ring. You have no way of proving it, but you have no way of disproving it. You don't have faith either way on it. You don't know.
#296 to #292 - EvilFluffyBunny
Reply +1(08/01/2012) [-]
But many can also argue that there are just as many things pointing to the existence in any god. Saying that you don't think there is a god is having faith that there is none. Just like if I was to believe you that your belly button is pierced without seeing it. I would be having faith in what you said. Your being "quite sure there is no god" is a faith based statement. You "believe" there is no god. Simple as that.

There is no proof of any god, but proof against many. The Abrahamic god supposedly created the world in 6 days 5,000 to 10,000 years ago. We now know that's not possible. That's evidence against his being. I don't have faith that there is no god, because I don't know, but that doesn't mean I can't think it's highly unlikely.

Reply +1(08/01/2012) [-]
No where in the bible does it say the earth is only 10000 years old. It never says how old the earth or universe is. Thinking it is unlikely is still having faith. Also if you really want to go the "I don't know" route then you wouldn't be classified as an atheist.
#304 to #303 - cullenatorguy
Reply -1(08/01/2012) [-]
Okay, so by that logic, if you saw someone on trial for murder, and it was very reasonable to think that he is the killer, but you don't know, does that mean you don't really think he killed the person? It might not say that in the bible, but that's what is widely believed. The whole creation story is still obviously ********, no matter when it took place.
#305 to #304 - EvilFluffyBunny
Reply +1(08/01/2012) [-]
Well one to many people take the creation story literally instead of seeing it as a description of the steps of the formation of the universe. Most Christians do not believe the earth is only 10,000 years old. The bible says nothing about how old the earth is. You said you think it is highly unlikely that there is a god, which means you lean towards the belief that there is no God. If you really went the middle ground of "I don't know" then you wouldn't be classified as an atheist, but rather as an agnostic. They are very didn't
#306 to #305 - cullenatorguy
Reply -1(08/01/2012) [-]
I prefer the term agnostic-atheist. I realize there's no way to disprove god, but I don't believe in him. Obviously we have very different definitions of faith. And you really think that's what the bronze age desert tribe leaders were thinking about when they wrote down the original creation story? They knew nothing of science. Everything they wrote was meant to take literally.

or so you assume. "iF" there is a god maybe it only told the story of the formation of the universe to the in a way they can understand. If you look at the simple steps described in the "creation" story of earth, they fit in with the scientific formation of the universe. Each stop simplifies the formation of earth.

I would like you to elaborate, because what you just said makes absolutely no sense. How does it even slightly resemble to formation of the universe? He created light on 2(i think) day, then the light source on the fourth.

www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+1&version=NIV Puts the formation of the planet into very simple terms. Think of who it was being explained to. Can't exactly get to sciencey with people back in those times. Think of it in terms of explaining it to a small child who doesn't really understand science.

I call *********, if i was the almighty creator of the universe and had all of his superpowers i would have the knowledge and the power to create a better method of speading my book, for example the bible is only reaching parts of africa now , it makes no sence to give the truth to a tiny group a few thousand years ago and expect it to make it around the world i no time, if a standard man was given this task and had gods power at his finger tips he would have droped the book in as many differnt languages and in as many differnt countrys as possable, therfore god is not all powerfull or he is not all knowing.

That is assuming it cares as much as we like to think it does. I personally believe that if their is a God it really doesnt care what goes on on our little planet.

I believe that there could be a god or gods. I believe that all the gods throughout history could have existed or not. Do I really think they care about what goes on now? Not really.

The thread reach max length I think, so I'm replying here. I used to think that. That used to be my way of coping with why the world is the way it is. I mean, surely there has to be some sort of creator, right? Later on I realized that I was in a denial. If you've always held those views, you may not be, but if they've evolved over time, from a loving god to an absent creator, then you may or may not be on the road to at least agnosticism.

I believe that there is something that started it all out there. If it did speak to humankind I think its words were twisted. I dont think it really cares anymore after seeing what we have done. prolly has many other civilizations on other worlds to worry about. Do I believe in a creator? Yes. Do I worship it? No.

Whoever wrote that page did a very good job. It was interesting reading that, and all it really seemed like when I thought about it was wishful thinking. It didn't come across as science and religion fitting hand in hand, science would still exist even if religion didn't. What it seemed like was science is the cool kid on the block and religion is young and trying to look just as cool as science. Apart from that, it also begs the question of, "Why would any god care about Earth when there's a whole universe out there?" Why would he? There are over 70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the observable universe. That's crazy. There are about 200 billion in this galaxy alone, and about 200 billion other galaxies besides it. That's only in the area we can see, there's probably vast amounts of other galaxies in the universe that we can't see, whose light has yet to reach us. What god would care about us? We so uncivilized and don't even have the technology to send a man to our nearest planet. The miracle that is life may be special, but Humans are going to **** everything up.

I view as creationism and evolution as one thing. I just view it almost like a God's science experiment. Set things in motion and let it happen. Maybe at one point a diety cared about what happened here, but it doesn't seem like they do anymore. Besides there are probably billions of other civilzations out there that are less advanced and more advanced than us. We really are not as special as we like to think we are. That's my view.

So your logic is based on the behavior of other religions hundreds or thousands of years old, and you judge people today? Who mostly leave you alone, and just want to worship their God in peace? I'm a Christian, and I believe someone can believe whatever they want. I've put trying to convert people long behind me. They can burn in hell for all I care. So how about we leave us alone so we can worship God, or whatever other relgions prefer, and we leave you alone so you can worship the great scientists that like to offend us also.

See, that's the thing. You sit there and have a sense of superiority because you're going to heaven, and everyone else burns in hell. What's worse is you don't even give a ****. You say that I can burn in hell with such indifference.
That is why we hate you. You truly are terrible people, but you're so blinded by your religion you can't see what dicks you really are. So **** you, and **** your god.
Oh, and maybe the fact you still believe in the teachings of a book that inspired the Crusades, witch-burning, stoning, etc (general torture and mass murder of huge amounts of people, and the oppression and what not). The Bible hasn't changed since then. You do nothing but pick the parts you like, and ignore the parts you don't.
You, sir, are the worst kind of ignorant arsehole there is.

You are not innocent. As long as you hold the same beliefs as extremists, you are in part responsible for their crimes. You allow religion to thrive, and people to be brainwashed.
I wouldn't kill any Christian simply because they're Christian. Rather, I'd like to see you realise how ******* stupid your beliefs are like I did.

Dell 15R Special Edition (Inspiron 7520)
Running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, smoothly!
Dell Studio 1517, now with Vertex4 SSD and running 12.10 very nicely
Just picked up a Latitude E4300 lease return. Running Debian Wheezy perfectly.
Dell -XPS-L321X
There are some problems
1. Dell Latitude E6420; Intel Core i7; Nvidia Optimus, 4Gb RAM (upped to 8Gb); originally came with W7 Pro 32-bit (??!) preinstalled, later replaced with 64-bit; now experimenting with Mint 13 Cinnamon.
2. Dell Inspiron N4050, Intel Core i3; Radeon, 4Gb RAM; originally came with Ubuntu 10.10 preinstalled; ran W7 Pro 64-bit for a few weeks after having run into a wireless problem (long-ish story); now experimenting with Ubuntu 12.04.
I am installing Xubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Dell Dimension 2400 I got for free. I have bumped the ram from 512 MB to 1.5 GB, and installed an ethernet PCI card since the onboard wasn't working (at least not under Windows XP).
Fresh from my success on the Dell 2400 I was given a Dell B110 box (the one with the Pentium 4 HT) and I installed Xubuntu 12.04 LTS on that one, too. Anyone doing this I have some suggestions, such as don't try to install the updates at the same time, and for some reason don't check the box to encrypt your folder or it'll hang up on creating user.
This thing only has 512 MB. I think I am going to bump it up to 2 GB RAM.
Dell Inspiron 5520
Inspiron 7720 (17R SE) - brand new and I just finished a clean W8 install onto 256G Crucial M4 mSATA card - and have a 40GB unformatted partition just waiting for a Linux distro. Which one - that is the question!
I guess there is no way to get an ISO of the "official" DELL distro for this machine?

Espie entered with 20 consecutive singles wins, which was tied with Mario Alberto Cayo's record, set in 2004. It just so happened that his record-breaking win also clinched the match for the Hatters. He defeated Balint Zsidai 7-5, 6-1, coming back from a 4-0 deficit in the first set to earn the victory. "I feel pretty lucky," Espie said of the record. "A lot of those matches were tight and I guess there was a little bit of luck in there. I am pretty happy with getting 21 wins and helping the team with all of those matches." "Anytime you find yourself in our men's tennis record book, it is a significant accomplishment, considering the successes that we have had," Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said of Espie's achievement. "When you break a record, it's phenomenal. It was one of the records that I thought would never be broken." Stetson started the day by sweeping the doubles matches for the second consecutive outing. Senior Didrik Berg and freshman Simon Julin defeated Cameron Johnson and Jody Maginley 8-2 to get things started. Espie and sophomore Nathan Debut followed that with an 8-2 win over Andre Correa and Jimmy Caccamo to clinch doubles and give Stetson an early 1-0 lead. Freshman Laurynas Antropikas and junior Hans Adrian Riseng won 8-5 at the number one doubles position to give Stetson the sweep. In singles, Stetson won five of the six matches on the day. At number five singles, freshman Egor Panyushkin opened with a 6-1, 6-0 defeat of Maginley. Antropikas was next to finish, defeating Pierce 6-3, 6-1, before Espie clinched the match. "The men played another good match today against NKU," Pilote said. "The team continues to improve with every match that we play." In the final two matches of the day, freshman Cahit Kapukiran defeated Correa 6-3, 6-1 at number four singles and Julin defeated Christopher Angulo 6-0, 6-2 at number three singles position. Kapukiran and Julin, along with Espie, remain undefeated at 9-0 in singles this season. Northern Kentucky's only point of the day came when Berg was forced to retire after losing the first set 6-1 to Guillaume. "It was a difficult decision to retire our captain and leader Didrik today," Pilote said. "He has been dealing with a nagging injury for the last couple weeks and of course as a fighter, he wanted to continue to play. The next day off will surely help him." The Hatters, who are off to their best start since 1996, are back in action this Saturday when they continue conference play against Lipscomb. The Hatters and Bisons are set to begin at 10:00 a.m. Match notes: Stetson is off to its best start since 1996, when the Hatters went 17-0 to open the campaign ... Berg and Julin are now 4-0 in doubles ... This was the first ever meeting between Stetson and Northern Kentucky. Print Friendly Version More Headlines

The conspiracy theory that an all-powerful "Israel lobby" controls U.S. foreign policy and is trying to force a war with Iran has become increasingly prevalent. Once largely confined to the far left anti-Israel and antiwar movements, this accusation has gained traction and reached a wider audience.
Professors, political commentators and former government officials have accused Israel and its supporters in the U.S. of manipulating American policy toward Iran to serve Israel, often at the expense of America's interests.
This theory disregards Iran's blatant violations of its international treaty obligations and four U.N. Security Council resolutions which require Iran to cease pursuing a nuclear weapons program and its repeated threats against Israel. It portrays U.S. support for Israel and advocacy for increased sanctions against Iran as primarily the result of pro-Israel lobby efforts that disproportionately control U.S. foreign policy and discussions of the conflict in the media.
Some who espouse these views have also pointed to comments made by the U.S. presidential candidates during the election campaign in support of protecting Israel from the threat of Iran as evidence of the "Israel lobby's" far-reaching control.
While these allegations against the "Israel lobby" are not a new phenomenon - when the U.S. invaded Iraq, similar narratives about the "Israel lobby's" power and influence were evoked - as tensions with Iran escalate, this theory has gained significant traction and has found a place in the mainstream.

Pre-Professional Health
Westminster's Pre-Professional Health Programs
Pre-Professional Health Programs:
There are many professional programs that are considered as pre-professional health programs. It is a common misconception that one is only a pre-professional health student if they are either pre-med or pre-dent. Westminster College offers courses that satisfy the pre-requisite requirements for many kinds of health programs. A sample listing of these health programs is below.
•Allopathic Medicine (MD) •Osteopathic Medicine (DO) •Pharmacy
•Bio Ethics •Physician Assistant •Optometry •Nursing
•Chiropractic Medicine •Naturopathic Medicine •Public Health
•Physical Therapy •Health Sciences •Biomedical Sciences
•Medical Scientist Training (MD/PhD) •Veterinary Medicine •Podiatry
•Dental Medicine •Medical Imaging •Occupational Therapy
•Speech-Language Pathology
Why Choose Westminster's Pre-Professional Health Program?
In general, professional schools require applicants to have completed course work in the basic sciences but not in areas that duplicate medical or dental school courses, and they seriously encourage study in the social sciences, the humanities, and mathematics. Each student's program is designed so that by the end of the junior year they will have completed the basic requirements for application to professional schools and enjoy success in a medical profession.
What Else?
The term "Pre-Professional" does not designate a specific major or preferred undergraduate program at Westminster College as medical schools do not necessarily favor one major over another, although students are encouraged to take the necessary science prerequisites. You will work closely with a faculty advisor who will help you with your course plan and application to medical school.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the intestines. It can cause cramping, stomach pain, gas, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Some people with IBS have constipation (difficult or infrequent bowel movements). Others have diarrhea (frequent, loose stools). Some people have both. Eating more or less fiber can help control these symptoms.
During a flare-up of IBS, a low-fiber/low-residue diet can help control diarrhea. Certain foods produce loose stools. You should avoid these if diarrhea is a problem. Sometimes changing the number of meals you eat, choosing different foods, and adjusting food temperature can help relieve diarrhea. All of these suggestions may not work for everyone. If there is something you haven't tried, test it to see if it helps you.

Winnie_20, Welcome to Golden Skate! Post long and often
And that is a good question. It might have something to do that Eurosport in different countries carry different things, but all use the same search database?
The assumption would be that my process as a TV watcher would be:
1. When is that figure skating on?
2. The search function says Wedsnesday at 5 pm.
3. Check my local Eurosport listings. Snooker.
4. Rats. Snookered again
5. Check Russian Eurosport for Wednesday AHH! There it is. Now how do I get it..
I guess I have become a bit annoyed with their idea of TV listings. ;-) Over here (Holland), it seems ESP2 like to air a lot of German soccer when there is figure skating on the schedule. Yuck.
Thanks for the welcome! I have been lurking for a while. Have slowly but surely become hooked on watching live figure skating these past six or so years, and this weekend I finally went to see a competition live. (The Challenge Cup. Wanted to go the NRW Trophy in Dortmund to see Yuna Kim, but alas, couldn't get a ticket).
It taught me a lot, not least of which that it's very cold when you sit so close to the skating rink, and I have the deepest respect for the judges etc.. So, so cold, phew! And I had no idea how fast those skaters really go across the ice, wow!
Excited there are streams this year, however, the men's and pair's fields are a bit of a letdown from the very exciting ones they had the potential to be. The podiums in these two disciplines have the potential to be very interesting.
British will have a couple of skating programmes on Eurosport 1. All the other Eurosport variations will only have skating programmes on Eurosport 2.
I had to go through 4 different websites to construct the list that I posted yesterday:
http://tv.eurosport.com/ (for International's schedule)
http://tv.eurosport.de/ (for Deutschland's schedule)
http://tv.eurosport.fr/ (for France's schedule)
http://tv.eurosport.co.uk/ (for British's schedule)
In each case, I used the search facility to get the start times, and then went through each day to get the finish times, and check had anything been missed out. It was very time consuming, and I know fine well that what is actually broadcast will be totally different to what is on my list. But, it is better to have a rough guide to when something might be on than just going in completely blind.
Before the Europeans, I did look up Eurosport Russia's schedule ( http://tv.eurosport.ru/ ). But, when I saw it was in Cyrillic, I thought "Ah, this is going to be too complicated to find the skating. I'll just stick with doing 4 schedules."
Usually, International, Deutschland and France have the same schedule. I've never watched ESP France, so I don't know how much they derivate from the published schedule.
On the other hand, I have watched ESP Deutschland quite a lot over the years, as ESP1 Deutschland is Free-To-Air on satellite. ESP Deutschland quite frequently gives priority to LIVE Handball (what?!) matches (as opposed to the highlights being shown on International) over what is being shown on the International schedule. And, as Winnie_20 says, live Bundesliga matches.
British is usually totally different to International. And I hate that!
When Setanta GB closed down a few years back, British Eurosport bought the British rights to a lot of sports they showed. It was mostly stuff that Eurosport never showed before, like cricket. However, Eurosport does not have the pan-European rights to these sports. So, British gives them priority over whatever is being shown on International.
The result is us British Eurosport viewers are missing out on a lot of stuff that is being shown on Eurosport International. Take ski jumping: British Eurosport has NEVER shown the Men's Summer Grand Prix series or the Ladies World Cup competitions live. We have got highlights of a few of the competitions, but not many.
And, for the figure skating, we usually get a lot less coverage than our counterparts on the continent get.
I don't know if there is a particular reason why, but on British Eurosport this winter, biathlon and the bobsleigh-type sports (luge, skeleton, etc.) have been getting priority over other wintersports that are being shown on International.
Also, whenever there has been snooker on this season, whereas other versions of Eurosport have left it to go to other sports (eg. ski jumping), British Eurosport has tended to stay with the snooker. As I snooker fan in the UK, I'm not complaining as I can watch the other sport on the computer and record the snooker on the TV. But, it must be very annoying for those continental snooker fans who do not have access to British Eurosport on the computer.
One thing that really winds me up is when you are watching something on, say, ESP2 and then the commentator suddenly announces that it is about to switch to ESP1! Or vice-versa. If you are recording it to watch later, it means that you miss the end of it. That has happened to me plenty of times with the snooker.
I have long believed that to get rid of all this variation and confusion, Eurosport needs to become a 3-channel network:-
Eurosport International 1: a multi-soundtrack, single-video, Free-to-air channel showing sports ESP has pan-European rights to. (Teleshopping when off-air overnight). Can be viewed continent-wide.
Eurosport International 2: a multi-soundtrack, single-video, Free-to-air channel showing sports ESP has pan-European rights to. (Teleshopping when off-air overnight). Can be viewed continent-wide.
Eurosport National (known as ESP France, ESP Deutschland, British ESP, etc. in respective countries): a collection of single-soundtrack, single-video, subscription channels showing sports ESP only has national rights to (eg. MotoGP in UK and Fr; cricket in UK; Bundesliga in De; rugby in Fr). (Eurosport News when off-air overnight). Each channel can only be viewed in its designated country.
Also, if there is an extra channel, there will be less need for the powers-that-be to switch a programme from one channel to another!
PS. You can usually get Eurosport Russia on http://livetv.ru/en
I was looking at the on-screen listings for tomorrow on the TV there now, and saw that the figure skating was on at 4pm, and the snooker was on at 5pm.
Then it suddenly dawned on me.
When you were using the search facility, were you by any chance on Eurosport International's website ( http://tv.eurosport.com/ )? Because, on Eurosport.com, the schedule is in Central European Time. (This is because Eurosport is based in Paris, and France uses CET).
Then, when you went to the local listings, it probably gave the schedule in Greenwich Mean Time, as that is the international standard.
And, since CET is 1 hour ahead of GMT, that would explain why the snooker was on at 5pm on one set of listings, and the skating was on at 5pm on the other.
Incidentally, the times on British Eurosport's website ( http://tv.eurosport.co.uk/ ) are given in GMT.
Any time I have copied Eurosport schedules onto here, I have kept the listings in the time zones for their respective countries, so as not to cause confusion to any forum members in those coutries. So, the times for International, Deutschland and France are all in CET, but the listings for British are in GMT.
So, just to clarify the times for tomorrow's broadcasts, here is a cut-down version of my schedule message:
But, if you do want the Eurosport broadcast in Russian, click the link I gave at the end of my last message, then click on Broadcasts at the top of the page. A page listing different sports will appear. Click on Winter Sports, and then click on the figure skating broadcast you want. And, hopefully, there will be at least one link to a stream (there isn't always!)
Hope this helps
If I can get a British Eurosport stream, I always prefer that but I have great fear of soccer or snooker running over into, since well am I aware that skating will get short shrift.
So they're only going to show last part of the SD, which means, they're showing group 5&6&7?
On the subject of Russian channels, I was wondering, are any of the other Russian channels showing the Junior Worlds live? For example, Спорт-2 or Россия-2, which normally show the senior events. I've just looked up some of the links that have been put up for these channels in the past, and they're not showing the SD live yet anyway.
For that matter, does anybody know if RAI is showing the Junior Worlds live in Italy? (Or, to put it another way, are LaRiserva going to be able to put videos up on YouTube of the performances that Eurosport aren't showing! )
And I'd much rather not hear Simon's incredibly stupid ramblings, which make me wanna throw my laptop out of the window.

I take it for service like that you have to pay, though.
Although the free streams are handy for when British Eurosport are not showing the same as Eurosport International, in an ideal world, I would still prefer to watch on an actual TV. But, I've already explained why earlier in this thread!
But, if I am not able to watch full coverage of the skating anywhere, I would still prefer to listen to somebody speaking my own language, rather than listen to Russians/Italians that don't know that they are supposed to stop talking when the music starts!!! (That REALLY winds me up!!! )
That was why I was so happy during the Europeans when some videos appeared on YouTube with no commentary whatsoever! But, even they weren't perfect (eg. no noise from the audience in the first couple).
At the end of the day, you just gotta make do with what you can get.
