A new crisis has come upon the star-crossed Central Terminal on Buffalo's East Side.
While supporters work to implement the master plan they unveiled last year, the roof is literally giving way. Without prompt repairs to protect the building, the prospects of saving the grand old terminal will dim to the point of invisibility.
It's a big lift, but supporters of the terminal should do all they can to raise the money for the repair job. Without it, grand plans to rehabilitate the landmark will be for naught. By completing the repairs, the possibility of future development remains.
The vaulted roof of the Art Deco terminal is leaking water onto the concourse tiles. It needs to be replaced immediately, at a cost of about $800,000, supporters say. But there's more. The 17-story tower that rises over the building requires significant roof and masonry repairs that will cost about $3 million.
That, of course, is only the start. Full restoration of the vacant terminal, last used in 1979, is estimated to cost between $50 million and $100 million, a daunting figure for any rehabilitation project, let alone one that occupies one of the poorest neighborhoods in one of the country's poorest cities.
Yet, this building is special enough, grand enough, massive enough to warrant the effort to save it, especially when there is a plan to reuse it and when the alternatives – abandoning it to ruin or the wrecker's ball – are so regrettable and unsatisfactory. The only sensible path – the best of bad alternatives – is to find the $800,000 to preserve the possibility of salvaging this tarnished jewel.
The Central Terminal Restoration Corp. has its eyes on that prize. The organization, which bought the terminal for $1 in 1997, produced a plan in March 2011 to reuse the building. It includes market-rate residential space in the tower, refurbished historic elevators and lobbies and renovation of the former water tank room at the top of the tower to provide 360-degree views of Western New York.
Other plans include developing a green business incubator and light industrial operations and resuming train service – a possibility that is linked to the uncertain development of high-speed rail service in the state.
But none of it can happen if the roof isn't repaired. Unless backers can come up with the funds to fix the roof and prevent what will be inevitable decay, the plans will have no more substance than the echo of a long-ago train whistle.
Securing this money should be doable. The board has shown new strength recently, to the point of hiring an executive director, the organization's first-ever paid employee. The community, local foundations and historic preservation groups around the country should be able to drum up enough money to fix the roof.
It will take effort from many sources to save the Central Terminal. That work begins with saving the roof.

Goalie Tim Thomas of Davison stopped a season-high 39 shots Wednesday in leading the Boston Bruins to a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Afterward, Bruins' coach Claude Julien praised his goalie's performance:
nesn.com: "I thought that Timmy played well," Julien said. "I thought he was good controlling rebounds and freezing the puck. I thought he was on top of his game. He got the rust out last game and had a good few days to work with [goaltending coach] Bob Essensa and settle his game down. It paid off tonight."
Thomas, a Davison High School graduate, is the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, which is given to the NHL's top goaltender. He was coming off a 4-3 loss to Ottawa, which was his first game back from a six-game injury absence.

Minneapolis awarded 2018 Super Bowl
- Minneapolis will host the 2018 Super Bowl after a vote by owners Tuesday rewarded the city for its new stadium deal.
The owners chose Minneapolis and the $1 billion stadium planned for the site of the old Metrodome to host the championship, beating bids from New Orleans and Indianapolis.
"It's been 10 years and we've always been driving to build a stadium," Vikings owner Zygi Wilf said. "We can rejoice right now for being rewarded this, but the hard work comes now."
New Orleans bid committee members believed the new Minneapolis stadium, set to open in 2016, swung the vote. The stadium will hold up to 72,000 for the Super Bowl.
The big game will be staged in the Twin Cities for the second time. It was there in 1992, when Washington beat Buffalo.
Next year's game is in Glendale, Arizona, followed by Santa Clara, Calif., for the 50th Super Bowl, then Houston.
Earlier at their spring meetings, NFL owners tabled any vote expanding the playoffs to 14 teams.
A committee examining the time, length and site of the draft reported to the owners. commissioner Roger Goodell has said the league is considering several options:
-- keeping the draft in May; it drew record TV ratings this year after it was moved back two weeks from its usual late April slot;
-- adding a fourth day;
-- moving it from its traditional spot in New York to a variety of NFL cities, with a dozen already having expressed interest.
- The Cleveland Browns have relaxed their media limitations to see rookie Johnny Manziel practice.
Cleveland's entire practice session today will be open to local and national media members. Last weekend's rookie minicamp, where Manziel made his pro debut, was restricted to just local reporters and photographers as first-year Browns coach Mike Pettine tried to contain the hype surrounding Manziel.
Pettine limited last week's media access to just 15 minutes. The Browns received push back from some national outlets upset about being denied credentials.
- Deputies say they have charged a man with murder in the shooting of the brother of Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White outside a South Carolina nightclub.
Charleston County Chief Deputy Mitch Lucas says 23-year-old Darnell Lafayette was arrested Tuesday.
Lucas says deputies are still trying to figure out exactly what led to the shooting. But it appears Lafayette got into an argument with Tyrone Moore Jr., 21, early Saturday outside the Lake House Club south of Charleston.

England women wrap up T20 series
Follow England women's progress on ecb.co.uk - click here for exclusive interviews and videos, latest news, match reports and more
England women followed their clean sweep in the one-day series against South Africa women with a 2-0 triumph in the Twenty20 rubber.
Yesterday's no-result denied Charlotte Edwards' side the opportunity to win every game on the tour, but they made it five victories from as many completed matches today at Potchefstroom.
Despite an opening stand of 81 between Cri-zelda Brits and Trisha Chetty, economical bowling kept South Africa to 118 for two.
Sarah Taylor's rapid 39 from 28 balls and an unbeaten 31 from Lydia Greenway eased the tourists to a seven-wicket win with 25 deliveries to spare.
Taylor, who struck 50 in the first game and did not bat yesterday, was named player of the match and the series.
Edwards said: "Sarah Taylor has had a fantastic trip; she's keeping and batting as well as I've ever seen her play and Lydia Greenway is in the form of her life."
Taylor added: "I've really enjoyed both series out here; it's been a good run with the bat for me and it's been nice to bat with Charlotte again.
"It's been good to bat at number three; it's a different task and I've enjoyed the responsibility. I was really pleased to be able to go out there today and control the game with Lydia."
After Mignon du Preez won the toss, Chetty and Brits built a solid platform with a fifty partnership from as many balls, but England kept them to seven boundaries in the 14 overs they occupied the crease.
Jenny Gunn had Chetty caught at deep midwicket by Greenway for 33 and, in the over she went to 50 from 51 deliveries, Brits played across Arran Brindle and lost her middle stump without addition.
Chloe Tryon and du Preez finished unbeaten on 18 and 16 respectively, the former lifting Brindle for six in the last over, but their total was 10 fewer than England had comfortably chased in the first T20.
Georgia Elwiss impressed on her T20 international debut with four overs costing only 20 and Laura Marsh's completed allocation was one run less expensive.
Edwards kick-started the reply with consecutive fours off Tryon and soon took two more from Dinesha Devnarain.
However, Marsh was bowled middle stump by Masabata Klaas and, in the next over, Tryon clipped the top of Edwards' off pole on 22.
Taylor and Greenway consolidated before beginning to find the rope, the latter twice consecutively to leg off Devnarain, in a partnership worth 76 inside 10 overs.
Taylor was caught off Klaas, the hosts' outstanding bowler with 2-17 from four overs, but Greenway continued with two fours off Kirstie Thomson, whose next delivery went for five wides to seal England's victory.
Edwards said: "I'm really pleased that we have managed to complete what we set out to do, which was to win all our games of cricket. We've played really positive cricket out here.
"Our bowling and fielding has got better throughout the trip. All the bowlers have had great spells and I thought Georgia Elwiss bowled exceptionally well today in her first international T20.
"The key players have really performed and people have taken responsibility. We're really happy with where we are at. We have really good competition for places in the team at the moment and I think that's a really good place to be."
She added: "We're now looking forward to the rest of the winter and towards the series against New Zealand in February."

I need a procedure to simplify rational functions r(x,y) = p(x,y)/q(x,y) where p(x,y) and q(x,y) are polynomials in Z/(2)[x,y].
For example suppose r(x,y) = (1+x+y)/(x^2+x*y+y+1) then mod 2 this reduces to 1/(1+x) since
Factor(x^2+x*y+y+1) mod 2 = (1 + x + y) (1 + x)
I wrote a procedure to do this using Factors mod 2, but I wonder if there is a builtin procedure to make such simplifications that might be more efficient. For now 2 variable is fine, but later I may want more than 2 variables.

ever want to waste your clients' money?
Normally this type of behavior would be frowned upon, but Wieden + Kennedy was able to justify it as part of their ad campaign! When the client is a TV show called "24 Hours to go Broke," the whole exercise seems much more understandable, and possibly even brilliant.

KEARNY The town man injured in Tuesday's three-alarm fire on Beech Street is in critical but stable condition at the Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, officials said yesterday.
Jose Perez, of 304 Beech St., sustained burns on his legs when he tried to put out the house fire that started around 2:30 p.m. in the basement of his 2.5-story wood-frame house, officials said.
Firefighters from five towns battled the blaze for nearly three hours, and the house was gutted.
"It was beyond our capabilities," Kearny Deputy Fire Chief Robert Osborn said about the help the town received from other fire departments. "Things were collapsing and the volume of the fire was too much."
Osborn said the cause of the fire, which displaced four families, is still under investigation but was determined to be accidental.
He was unsure whether the house could be rebuilt or would have to be razed, adding it was up to the discretion of the city inspector and the owner's insurance company.
Osborn said the firefighter hurt in Tuesday's fire injured his shoulder as he tried to move a hose into the burning house. He said the firefighter was taken to an area hospital, treated for his injury, and released.

One of the most passionate Englishmen playing in Dunedin tomorrow has the local Kiwi rugby culture to thank for helping to shape him as the player he is today.
Tom Wood, the England flanker, may be bristling with intent when he takes on the All Blacks in the second international, but he is full of praise for the rugby club at Oamaru, an hour up the coast. Wood came here in 2006 and he clearly treasures the experience which he says helped to define him as a rugby player. "I wanted to do something that was going to separate myself

LANDOVER, Md. - Instead of Stedman Bailey, "Stead-y-man" Bailey might be more appropriate.
Through two West Virginia games, the redshirt junior wide receiver for the Mountaineers has 22 pass receptions - an average of 11 per game.
Contrast that number with Saturday's opponent during a 42-12 win by the eighth-ranked Mountaineers over James Madison. Receivers for the Dukes caught all of 10 passes total.
Bailey grabbed a Mountaineer-record 13 passes all by himself, going for 173 yards and three touchdowns.
He had touchdown receptions of 9 and 3 yards in the first quarter alone, helping the Mountaineers score 21 points in the period, and then grabbed a 30-yard scoring strike from Geno Smith when West Virginia had gone almost 20 minutes of game-clock time without scoring to make it 35-5.
Bailey's running mate, Tavon Austin, hauled in 11 passes, giving him 21 receptions for the season.
"I just want to find the guy is open," Smith said, insisting he has no one favorite target.
Two of them surely makes it easier on the quarterback, who became West Virginia's all-time best in terms of yardage in Saturday's win to make the Mountaineers 2-0.
"We feed off each other," Bailey said. "Geno's a great quarterback, and we've been working a whole lot to have a great offense."
West Virginia is averaging 55.5 points per game - a whole lotta fives - and Bailey's right there, too, with five touchdown receptions.
"I think about it," Bailey said of his number of touchdowns so far, "but I look at it like I'm helping my team."
And if it means helping himself, so be it.
He strolled into the end zone uncovered to catch one of the scoring passes from Smith.
"We were doing a great job of tempo," Bailey said, figuring James Madison's defense simply got confused and forgot about him.
At other times, he was barely covered either, as defensive backs from James Madison had to choose how to defend the 5-foot-10, 195-pounder.
"We were just taking what they gave us," Bailey said. "The corner (back) was off me 12 yards, so we were going for the hitch."
It wasn't just Bailey or Austin, or Bailey and Austin, getting into the receiving act for the Mountaineers either.
Nine different receivers caught passes against James Madison. It was seven different players two weeks earlier in the Mountaineers' previous game against Marshall.
And while Bailey and Austin are at the fore, J.D. Woods ranked third with seven catches against the the Thundering Herd, while Andrew Buie was in third place with five receptions versus James Madison.
There are plenty of weapons in West Virginia's quick-tempo, aerial showcase.
It starts, of course, with Smith, who has nine touchdown passes and only nine incompletions in 75 pass attempts. That's 88 percent on completions.
"I expect Geno to have a big game every time he goes out," Bailey said.
Based on two games, the Mountaineers are probably expecting the same out of Bailey.

Operation Flashpoint: Elite Review
Still The Daddy of the soldier sim genre. One of the true great videogames of the last five years.
Have you noticed how you'll quite often see really great looking women going out with the ugliest and dumpiest of men? For example: Michelle Yeoh (from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) going out with Jean Todt (manager of the Ferrari Formula One team). I still can't quite see the sense in that one. Nor anyone at all going out with Johnny Vegas (and his wife is a total fox). It defies all known logic. Is it the money? Is it the car? Is it (God forbid) the sense of humour? I don't know. It's one of life's little mysteries. This all occurred to me when I was playing Operation Flashpoint: Elite, because (and there's no possible way of putting this delicately) it's uglier than Jean Todt and Johnny Vegas's love child, yet I can't quite take my hands off it.
If you've been a gaming devotee for the last five years or so, you should already know that the original version of Operation Flashpoint was one of the PC's most highly acclaimed titles of 2001. So then, you may be wondering why it's taken the best part of half a decade to bring it to the Xbox. It's a fair question, because it's hard to see that many changes to the game from the PC version. The most obvious improvement is to the voiceover track, which was awful in the original. Unfortunately, things haven't improved that much: quite a few of the voiceovers are still rather flat, and don't have a great sense of timing. Graphically, Bohemia Interactive have made a few tweaks, improving the poly-count of the soldier models, refining a few textures, adding motion blur effects and the like, but if anything, it somehow manages to look worse than the PC version. It's no exaggeration to say that it's retina-piercingly ugly. If the rather bland landscape textures weren't bad enough, it's hard to contain a snigger when you lie prone pointing inwards to the bottom of a valley and you can see the wispy grass textures hanging in mid-air, completely detached from the slope. Blur effects are overused in cutscenes and you're often left pulling at your eyelids in bemusement, thinking that you can't possibly have drunk that much, things become so unfocussed...
'Typical levels encompass several square kilometres of fully rendered terrain...'
There is also a more serious drawback to the limitations of implementing such a sprawling graphics engine on the relatively underpowered Xbox. Typical levels encompass several square kilometres of fully rendered terrain, including towns, fields, forests and even the odd rampaging Massey-Ferguson tractor. In order to cram all this detail into the Xbox's measly 64MB of memory, plus maintain an acceptable frame rate, a few sacrifices have been made. The player's first-person point of view has been narrowed down to around 90 degrees, which feels very claustrophobic for a game where you're so dependent upon your peripheral vision. This is exacerbated when using the iron sights of your weapon, as this narrows your view even further, leaving you very vulnerable to being flanked by enemies.
The PC version of Operation Flashpoint was infamously unforgiving with its AI, not hesitating to punish a player for even the most momentary of lapses in concentration. Things are somewhat different on the Xbox, with the two difficulty levels of the original version being split into four: Recruit, Regular, Veteran and Mercenary. Unless you've extensively played the PC version, I recommend that you play on Regular difficulty, which has had the AI sufficiently dumbed down to compensate for the lower screen resolution and narrower field of view. Veteran difficulty level is equivalent to the PC version's Cadet difficulty level, which (despite the name) was fiendishly hard, whilst Mercenary difficulty equates to the PC's Veteran skill level, where you need to rely on your orienteering ability with a map and compass (or sticking close to your squad mates) to know where to go next.
If you're now thinking "oh no, not another dodgy port", I'm now going to explain why I don't give a damn about the sub-standard graphics and why, even over four years on from the original release, this game's still as good as it gets in the soldier sim genre. You see, Operation Flashpoint was never about good looks. Neither was it ever about running through corridors, chewing lead and chucking grenades. Flashpoint isn't your common or garden FPS. No, Flashpoint's about leaning over, putting your hand into a pile of goo and finding that it was your best friend's face (to quote The Simpsons).
It's about camaraderie, the horror and brutality of war and the duty of putting your body in harm's way for your friends. Make no mistake: this is no Medal of Honor or Call of Duty game. Try and shoot on the move and you'll just waste precious ammo. Shoot without using the iron sights and the only thing you'll hit beyond twenty metres is the ground. Stay still for too long, and the first indication you'll have that you've been spotted is the grenade exploding next to your corpse. Flashpoint is the most unforgiving of mistresses, but also the most rewarding, once you get used to her capricious whims.

This is a clip from the show America:The Story of Us. In this episode, they discuss slavery, the civil war and emancipation.The whole series is basically just about the history of the United States. Of course , you don't get the full story of America and some history has been whitewashed and downplayed, but overall I didn't think this particular episode was bad. What I learned from the clip wasn't unfamiliar, I had heard it all before…but was there anything that shocked you?…I think its good that they included this part of history in the series because I'm sure there are some people who are ignorant of even what they presented in that video, but at the same time we still aren't given the full story. One thing I found interesting is that, if you'll notice, the narrator says "dark skinned men are bought for the fields, light skinned women for the house." Notice any group that's missing…how about dark-skinned Black women? Where were they are and what were they doing?
If you'll read the slave narratives, you'll note that Dark skinned Black women were a big part of the institution of slavery, they were used in both the fields and the house. They were sexually and physically abused the same as lighter skinned Black women, in fact lighter skinned Black women usually came from darker skinned Black women being raped by white men…that's where the so-called "mulattoes," came from. In Harriet Jacob's Incidents in the Life of a Slave girl, she recounts a story of a dark-skinned Black woman who gave birth to a light skinned child. When her dark skinned "husband," said that the child was not his, they had a disagreement and he ended up discovering that the master had been sleeping with his "wife." The master ended up selling the dark-skinned Black woman away, even though he promised to treat her well. Jacobs writes that her master had at least eleven children by different Black women on the plantation…and I guess he wanted to make the twelfth with Jacobs, but he never got that.
Harriet Jacobs writes,
No matter whether the slave girl be as black as ebony or as fair as her mistress. In either case, there is no shadow of law to protect her from insult, from violence, or even from death; all these are inflicted by fiends who bear the shape of men.
The bit on Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman was good. Also, on a side note, Anna Douglass, a the Black wife of Frederick Douglass, played a huge role in Frederick Douglass escape to freedom.I did get emotional while watching the clip from the series where the family were sold apart. Just thinking of being separated from my mother and the pain that she would feel broke my heart. When you put yourself in the shoes and try to imagine, how you would feel the pain is inconceivable. It is painful to see Black people being so dehumanized and objectified. This is part of the reason it disgusts me so much to see movies like Charlie Wilson's War and ironically, White Chicks make a mockery of slavery by having mock slave auctions where you have to pay to have a date with a "slave girl." I find it appalling. But, I'll do another post on this at a later date.
On a more general note:
I remember one time I was required to go tour a plantation for one of my college courses and when the docent was giving the tour, she talked a little bit about the enslaved Black people that the family on the plantation owned. She told us that even in the mid-nineteenth century, they had developed an inoculation for small pox, you took a cowpox scab and rubbed it in an open cut on the body of the uninfected person and this helped them develop some immunity to smallpox. She said that even the slaves got inoculated because, in her own words, "slaves were expensive PROPERTY." Never mind the fact that they didn't truly care about the health of well being of the enslaved Blacks, they were just trying to protect their "property."
It just shocked me that she would refer to the Black people as property…and so casually. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way and I know that legally they were considered property, but I felt that by referring to them (us) that way, she was actually objectifying those Black men, women and children who were forced to labor against their will and endure abuse, separation and heartache. It just rubbed me the wrong way. It felt like just by referring to them as "property," she was perpetuating the propaganda of that time that portrayed Blacks as subhuman and therefore excused the mistreatment of Blacks during slavery because they were objectified as property. I feel like there is a disconnect with some white people between the Blacks who were enslaved during that time and the Blacks of today. They forget that the Blacks of that era were just as human as the Blacks of today…or maybe some white people don't even see the Blacks of today as fully human…I don't know. But every emotion that we feel today, our ancestors felt then. They were more than just "property." Incidentally, we didn't talk much about slavery throughout the tour, we talked more about the white mistress, her family and her woes.
What do you think?
But anyway, check out the video below:

Actually, I posted in the "Injuries and Other Ills" thread - he's not quite injured, more a collection of problems. The boots being dumped is a symptom of the major pain/numbness in his legs when he skates.

NEW DELHI: The Delhi Gospel Convention 2014 will be held at Janakpuri Mar Gregorios Orthodox Church known to be the Parumala of the North on August 2 & 3, 2014
The theme of the convention is Faith in action based on St. James 2:14-17 "What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.".
Fr. Timothy Thomas from the Diocese of North East America will be the keynote speaker for the convention. The day one talk will be based on 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and day 2 will be based on 1 Corinthians 15:58.
Bible based study class is arranged during daytime on the convention days. For Day 1, the topic will be "THE CHURCH IN THE HOME: DARING TO BE A CHRISTIAN FAMILY" This study class will focus on i) Husband-wife Unity, ii) Order and Discipline in the Family, iii) Attentive and Heartfelt Training of Children, iv) Spirituality in the Family, v) Living by Example, vi) Charity in the Family
For Day 2 the topic will be on "THE AMAZING RACE: PERSEVERING ON THE ROAD TO SALVATION" Day 2 study class will focus on i) Salvation from a Biblical Perspective, ii) Salvation in the Liturgy. iii) Salvation as Personal Experience, iv) Salvation from a Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Perspective, v) Growing in Salvation
Under the patronage of Dr. Yuhanon Mar Demetrios, Metropolitan, Diocese of Delhi, Fr. Biju Thomas, Fr. Thomas Ninan and Fr. Jackson will give leadership to the convention.

The job of an investment bankers is to act as an agent for clients and assist them in finding people looking to invest money. The first step to working in investment banking is passing the job interview. Investment banking interviews generally consist of two types of questions: the qualifying or qualitative questions, asked to ensure that you're a good fit for the company, and the technical questions, which test your knowledge of accounting and valuation.
It's common in investment banking interviews for the interviewer to want you to go into detail about your resume. Tell the interviewer about your school and work experience in chronological order. Instead of talking about your recent experiences and going backwards or skipping around on your job history, start at the beginning with your education and work up to the present. This not only keeps you from confusing the interviewer, but helps you stay on track with all the relevant details that the interviewer needs to know.
Rehearse your answers for the qualifying portion of the interview. The interviewer will not only want to discuss your resume, but will also ask you a series of competency questions. These questions are designed to learn more about your background and how you might behave in certain situations. As an example, the interviewer may ask you how you have motivated people in the past or what you consider to be your strengths and weaknesses. Although it is not possible to know exactly what questions the interviewer may ask, rehearsing your answers to some of these general types of questions can help you feel more comfortable when someone asks them at the interview.
Practice answering technical questions before the interview. Banking interviewers typically like to ask questions about accounting, valuations and modeling. Often they will pose brain teasers. Brain teasers are types of questions that force candidates to think under pressure. University of Kent uses "Who is Citi's CEO" and "What's 1/16" as examples of brain-teaser questions that an interviewer might ask.
Give detailed answers to the interviewer's questions. Although interviewers are looking for correct answers to questions, they also want to know if you truly understand what you're talking about. As an example, give an example of securities of a specific company instead of merely quoting the definition of what securities are.
Stay current on the latest financial market and business world news. Read "The Wall Street Journal" and "Financial Times" daily to stay up to date on current financial events. The interviewer will expect you to know recent financial news, such as the Dow Jones indexes or current Fed and LIBOR rates. If relevant, use current events as examples when you give your answers to the interviewer's questions.

Hello -
Recently got my sling and connected it to my 722k, thanks Dish for the promotion! But, I noticed I cannot tune any Sirius audio channels from dishonline. Is that by design or am I missing something? I went with the sling to be able to watch all my Dish programming on another TV in my house (have an HTPC connected to it) and no Sirius is a disappointment...guess that's what happens when you don't want to pay the fee for another receiver...
Can someone confirm this is the way it is supposed to be?

I just tried my 722K and 922. Both give me audio on the Sirius/XM channels as well as the CD channels via Dish On Line and Dish Remote Access. No video so I don't get to watch the bouncing banner That's on one of my desk tops.
Just another old geezer killin' time till time kills me.
Posted 13 July 2011 - 07:26 AM
doh! Sure enough, I was missing something. I was trying to find the audio channels by using the guide. This time, I clicked on "Live TV" and was able to tune to the Sirius channels. Thanks!

|Now searching...
quote MootsCurrently recommended for ripping & encoding are: Quick Start (info from r3mix under "encoding"):
1. To download LAME, try mp3 tech, there are downloads for Windows, DOS and Linux. Current recommended version of LAME is 3.90. If you have problems finding the latest version, try http://home.pi.be/~mk442837/ for executables plus a list of other sites.
2. Download EAC
3. Lame settings (no quotes): "--r3mix"
4. Setup LAME to work with EAC
5. Optionally setup Razorlame (explained at http://www.r3mix.net) to make batching easier
For more info checkout r3mix.net: tutorials, setup etc.
To find out why this is our recommended route, check out http://www.r3mix.net - there is an in-depth look at mp3 quality and audio ripping.
To cut a long story short: EAC can extract the data 100% reliably (OR inform of all errors), and LAME provides the most accurate MP3 encoding. The VBR bitrate used in the LAME settings above is essentially a compromise towards quality i.e. files will be ~10-30% (in my experience) larger than 128kbit encodes, but will sound more accurate.
quote MootsWhy do you always say "let us know how you get on"?Here are a few things to checkout before posting:
If you can't find a URL in your manual, try a Google search with the company name, and perhaps a relevant word or two e.g. Asus motherboard home. If still no joy, try Neo company search, from the main page.
- Check your manual. Sounds lame, but especially for "can I connect to this using digital..." - the answer is there
- Check the manufacturer's FAQ and support pages on the web. These will often have solutions to common problems.
quote MootsSo we know we're giving good advice, plus people with the same problem using the "search" facility would like to see an outcome.
This is also true if this FAQ sorted your problem...how else can we get be sure we've got the frequently asked questions in there?
If it's a commonly asked question or fix to a problem, we can stick in in the FAQ.
quote MootsFirst stop: the Neoseeker Audio board drivers thread: "Drivers! Get Your Drivers!". If you can't find what you need on there, check the "Second Stop" info below. When you do find what you need, post the URL (or URL & path to get there if you can't get a full URL) into the Drivers thread.
Second stop: manufacturers website, support section (see above). Otherwise, try a Google search e.g. Asus P2B Driver. If you have problems finding or downloading drivers, try emailing manufacturer's support department (email address from their website).
quoteWhy don't you like [insert hardware type here], I've read lots of good reviews? (e.g. pre 5.1 Klipch, Bose)...
quoteHow should I evaluate speakers/amps/cdplayer etc?...
quoteGlossary: What does X word mean? (e.g. PMPO, RMS)...
quoteWhere can I buy a...?...
quote MootsFirst stop: manufacturers website, most will have a list of distributors or resellers. (see above). Otherwise, try a Google search e.g. Asus P2B buy. If still no joy, try the contacts page of the manufacturer webby and email the Sales or Support department.
quoteTricks salesmen use to sell you rubbish...
quoteMy speakers don't sound as good as they did in the shop...why? (speaker placement, burn-in etc)...
quote MootsSometimes we can be slow replying to posts. We're not ignoring you - don't forget we're not paid support staff, we read the board and reply in our spare time. If you're unlucky and we're all busy, you might not get a reply for a couple of days.
To give us a push, just reply (with a hint) to your original message so it pops to the top of the board again, and no need for questioning our parentage or assuming things about our sexual orientations.
quote MootsI want to know about CD-R standardsThe usual cause of this is posting anonymously (shown as "unwashed heathen" under your posting name) - that is, posting without creating yourself a Neoseeker Forums login. You cannot edit or delete anonymous posts you have made.
Once you register and login, you can edit and delete your posts.
NOTE: you will still not be able to edit your previous anonymous posts, even when registered.
quote MootsI got mp3 player X and the card Y with ZZ MB of memory. I get the message: "internal FAT error" (or similar)Check out the CDR FAQ at http://www.cdrfaq.org/, which is pretty comprehensive
quote Alex GUsually, when users get those messages, it means that the card should be formatted, because some players use some Flash ID techs, etc. [= a proprietry format?]
Normally, try to look in your player software. Most likely when you hook the player to the pc, open the software, you should find the option to do the formatting. Usually it might be called: "initialize flash card", "format flash card", etc. If it does't work, or hangs up during the formatting try doing it on other OSes, since most software doesn't work well with all the latest OSes (Windows XP, sometimes Windows 2000).

Grandma Moses may have brought a certain cachet to the title, but most of the world's grannies go underappreciated and overlooked. Even poor Elizabeth II is not duly recognized in her role as a grandmom. Or so says Judith Levy, devoted American granddaughter, aspiring grandmother and author of the new best-seller Grandmother Remembers (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, $12.95). When Levy, 50, shipped off a copy of her book to Buckingham Palace, along with a note saying, "To the world you are Queen Elizabeth, but to Prince William you are his dear grandmother," she later received word back: "As a grandmother, Her Majesty was grateful."
So are less blue-blooded grandmas elsewhere. With 300,000 copies of the slim volume in print (the book is already in British and Dutch editions, and French and Japanese versions are likely soon), Grandmother Remembers is going faster than you-know-who's freshly baked cookies. The publisher has found little need for advertising, since grandmothers appear to view the book as a vindication of their status and have spread the word on their own. The book, illustrated by Judy Pelikan with birds and flowers like a fairy tale, is meant as a dynastic diary—a place where a grandmother can record her family background, traditions and memories. Subtitled A Written Heirloom for My Grandchild, it also provides blank spaces for the author to tell "how the world has changed since I was a little girl" and to share recollections like: "When Grandfather proposed, he said..." The point of all this, explains Levy, is to let members of the growing-up generation know that grandmother was once a girl too. "For many years," she admits, "I thought my grandmother fell out of the sky a grandmother."
Now that she knows better, Levy has turned "Nana" into nickels, dimes and big bucks. Grandmother Remembers Family Recipes, with blank spaces for jams, jellies and chicken soup, was published on Mother's Day. A Grandmother Remembers calendar is ready for 1985, and My Grandchild's Baby Book (Workman, $5.95) is already in print, along with birth announcements for Granny's convenience. Then there are "A Picture of Love" note cards, with a space provided for Granny to slip in a photo of her grandchild. After all, says Levy, you can never have enough of a good thing. "The grandmother-grandchild relationship is the most perfect one," she declares. "No matter what you do, your grandmother thinks it is wonderful."
Levy's relationship with her maternal grandmother, Chana Shultz, was a treasured one. (Her paternal grandmother died before she was born.) As the eighth of 10 children of Alter and Dina Privin, a cantor and a housewife in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn, Judith found that it wasn't always easy to get parental attention. "In a group like that you can get lost without a grandmother," she says. "Whenever I was in trouble, my grandmother would whisper to my mother and remind her that she too got into trouble when she was little. That would save me from a lot of spankings."
In later years—as a singer with the Peter Duchin Orchestra, as wife of Herb Levy, 50, a handbag manufacturer, and as mother of three daughters—Judith often thought fondly about her grandmother. But it was not until she took a course at Florida Atlantic University in writing one's own family history that she got the idea for her books. "I found myself surrounded by grandmothers," she recalls. "They had come because they wanted to put their memories on paper. They felt they had become just a voice on the phone and a present in the mailbox to their grandchildren." Yet most of the grandmothers seemed uncomfortable expressing themselves. Levy thought back to her own school days, when the teacher would start students on a composition by beginning a sentence for them. "I knew I could start the grandmothers on the path, using phrases like 'On my wedding day I wore...' " Levy says. "Grandmother might forget where she put her glasses five minutes ago, but she remembers what happened to her as a girl."
With what her own bobbe (Yiddish for grandmother) might have called chutzpah, Levy decided there was a book in this and began making the rounds of New York publishing houses. A friend directed her to Stewart, Tabori & Chang, and soon a cottage industry for grandmothers had been launched.
Naturally, Levy can't wait for the chance to fill in her own copy of Grandmother Remembers. Her younger daughters, Carole, 23, a fashion coordinator, and Cathy, 22, a student in Oneonta, N.Y., are both single. But her eldest, Marcy, 27, married Jared Alt-man, a Manhattan trial lawyer, last March. Her mother can scarcely contain herself. "I'm a grandmother-in-waiting," she says.
Until Judith can blissfully send out her own grandchild announcements, she divides her time between the family home in Boca Raton, Fla. and a Manhattan apartment and is busily creating new projects. A recipe book using readers' submissions is in the planning stage, and so is Grandmother Remembers Fairy Tales. Ah, but what about Grandpa? "I don't see men as writers," says Levy. She concedes that if she receives enough pleading letters from Grandma's other half, it may soon be Grandpa's turn to tell what it was like when he was growing up.

One Response to "Articles"
Hi Mark – I'm in the process of setting up a new political party to stand at the May 2010 election. I'm not going to stand myself as the starting point is that anyone who wants to be an MP won't be standing for this party, so it seems sensible not to stand myself – even though I don't particularly want to be an MP anyway. I have thought about this long and hard for over 30 years and just recently I have thought of how to achieve this. If you check my bro out, Felix von Geyer, you'll see that I have a sustainability guru, I'd appreciate it if you would lend some support.

The female condom, like the male condom, is a barrier device used for
Alternative Names
Condoms for women
The female condom protects against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), including
The female condom is made of a thin, strong plastic called polyurethane. It fits inside the
The condom has a ring on each end. The ring that is placed inside the vagina fits over the
The female condom is estimated to be between 75% and 82% effective. The reasons for failure are the same as those for the male condom:
- A rip or tear in a condom (can be made before or during intercourse)
- Delayed placement of a condom in the vagina (
peniscomes into contact with vagina before condom is in place)
- Failure to use a condom during each act of intercourse
- Rarely, failure due to manufacturing defects
- Spilling of semen from a condom while removing it
- Condoms are available without a prescription, and they are fairly inexpensive (though more expensive than male condoms).
- Currently, you can buy female condoms at most drugstores. They are also available at most sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) clinics or family planning clinics.
- Some planning may be needed to have a condom handy at the time of intercourse. However, they may be inserted up to 8 hours before intercourse. You may also make inserting the condom part of your lovemaking.
- Can be used during menstruation or pregnancy, or after recent childbirth.
- Eliminates the woman's concern that the man won't wear a condom. She can protect herself from pregnancy and STDs without relying on the male condom.
- Protects against pregnancy and STDs.
- Friction of the condom may reduce clitoral stimulation and lubrication, making intercourse less enjoyable or even uncomfortable (using the provided lubricant may relieve this problem).
- Irritation and allergic reactions may occur.
- The condom may make noise (using the lubricant may relieve this problem).
- There is no direct contact between the penis and the vagina.
- The woman is not aware of warm fluid entering her body (important to some women, not to others).
- Find the inner ring of the condom, and hold it between your thumb and middle finger.
- Squeeze the ring together and insert it as far as possible into the vagina, making sure that the inner ring is past the pubic bone.
- Leave the outer ring outside of the vagina.
- Make sure that the condom has not become twisted.
- Before intercourse, and during it if needed, put a couple of drops of water-based lubricant on the penis.
- After intercourse, and before standing up, squeeze and twist the outer ring to make sure the semen stays inside, and remove the condom by pulling gently. Use it only once.
You should always throw condoms in the trash. Do not flush a female condom down the toilet. It is likely to clog the plumbing.
- Be careful not to tear condoms with sharp fingernails or jewelry.
- Do not use a female condom and a male condom at the same time. Friction between them can cause them to bunch up or tear.
- Do not use a petroleum-based substance such as Vaseline as a lubricant. These substances break down latex.
- If a condom tears or breaks, the outer ring is pushed up inside the vagina, or the condom bunches up inside the vagina during intercourse, remove it and insert another condom right away.
- Make sure condoms are available and convenient. If there are no condoms handy at the time of a sexual encounter, you may be tempted to have intercourse without one.
- Remove tampons before inserting the condom.
- When you remove the condom after intercourse, and you notice that it is torn or broken, some sperm may have spilled inside the vagina, increasing your risk of becoming pregnant. Contact your health care provider or pharmacy for information about emergency contraception (Plan B). If you use condoms regularly as your contraceptive, ask your health care provider or pharmacist about having Plan B on hand to use in case of a condom accident.
- Use each condom only once.

Are they still hungry?
I started on a primal diet in December, and began feeling so great that in February I transitioned our whole family. But I'm starting to wonder if I need to make a change for my kids.
My children (5 & 3) have both LOST weight since February. My kids are already both lean, no baby fat or pudge, so I'm really concerned about the weight loss. My 5 year old son lost 4 1/2 pounds and my 3 year old daughter lost 2.
Here's what they ate yesterday (pretty typical day). (Water is their only beverage.)
Breakfast: eggs, bacon, banana
Snack: Pistachios and Raisins
Lunch: Shrimp, carrots & salad
Snack: Veggie Sticks
Dinner: Grass-fed hot dogs, broccoli and cheese
They seem to be eating enough, but I really don't want them to keep losing weight. Has anyone gone through this with their kids? Any advice?
Are they still hungry?
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
That's quite a low-carb diet for children. Have you considered using potatoes or sweet-potatoes as the main part of their meal once a day?
Perfection is entirely individual. Any philosophy or pursuit that encourages individuality has merit in that it frees people. Any that encourages shackles only has merit in that it shows you how wrong and desperate the human mind can get in its pursuit of truth.
I get blunter and more narcissistic by the day.
I'd apologize, but...
yes, sweet potatoes with butter yum!
sweet potato chips as a snack?
they are growing and need lots of energy, how about giving them nice chunks of fresh coconut? they will self regulate when satiated at that age so offer it to them and see if they eat it, if they do they need it
Lots of similar threads on this topic if you do a search.
Yes to more carbs & fat! More fruit, sweet potatoes, cheese, almond butter, etc...
I look at that and think "weight loss". Rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, paleo "treats" would probably give them some extra calories.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!
Do they tolerate dairy other than cheese? If so full fat milk with their meals is another good source of extra calories.
Primal desserts can up calories QUICK!
Primal pancakes made from almond/coconut flour are pretty heavy and fun for kids topped with butter mmm BAMBAMBAM weight gain (for me I guess haha)
1 whole coconut is about 1400 calories
I have a (mostly) paleo 10 yr old. I have to make an extra effort to keep her carbs up, It isnt hard but I must be mindful of it because she needs more than the rest of the family. As was suggested potatoes, rice, dried coconut/fruit, nuts, baked treats etc.
Her favorite, afterschool/ pre dance class, snack is a baked potatoe with loads of Kerrygold, shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. Pretty easy.

Tropical Storms Lisa and Matthew were weakening this morning, and are expected to turn into remnants by Monday.
Tropical Storm Matthew caused flooding in Venezuela and dumped heavy rains in Honduras this weekend. Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center said the storm would drop six to 10 inches of rain over southern Mexico and Guatemala today before becoming a remnant by tonight.
Far out in the eastern Atlantic, Tropical Storm Lisa has weakened into a tropical depression, with winds around 35 mph. The storm will remain far away from land and is expected to become a remnant today or Monday.
Forecasters were also watching a band of clouds in the northwestern Caribbean, but the National Hurricane Center said the system has only a 10 percent chance of turning into a tropical cyclone.

Thousands of people attend Project Heart Start
Program designed and hosted by KOAT's Doctor Barry Ramo
Thousands of people showed up for Project Heart Start Saturday, breaking an attendance record.
Project Heart Start, designed and hosted by KOAT's Doctor Barry Ramo, is a hands-on CPR course. The hour-long session is offered free to the public with hope that if ever needed, the skills learned could save someone's life.
The course is in its fourth year and has already proven successful. Several people who say they got a second chance at life because of Project Heart Start were in attendance Saturday.
First-time participants also showed up for the event including adults and their children.
The course, which was offered at 8, 9 and 10 a.m. in Albuquerque, was also offered at 11 other locations around New Mexico.

Shemale/shemale or shemale/girl <-- feminine, passable shemales!!!
Watching shemales cum!!! Solo masturbation, or while a cock pounds their ass! (but not a facial shot)
Lesbians <-- the more in the scene the better!
Softer, sensual, straight "making love" couples (no deep throating, or cumshots)
Really young, hotties, solo
Gay men (sorry, just can't watch it)
Cock sucking, (I can watch about a minute of a shemale getting sucked, but that's about it. It makes me feel sick to watch it)
Facials... period... (if a shemale starts to cum shot on a guys face, I nearly throw up. Don't like to see it on girls either)
Fisting, or stupid sized dildoes stuck in anywhere.
Gaping assholes from being over-stuffed!!! (gag)
Spit for lube... nothing like a guy/girl hacking up some spit and hacking on genitals to kill the mood for me...
