In all his years as a head coach, first at Penn and now at Temple, Fran Dunphy has had no bigger admirer, no more avid cheerleader, than Phil Martelli, his rival coach at St. Joseph's.
No doubt that admiration has been influenced by the close personal relationship Martelli has long had with Dunphy, which is partly evidenced by the Coaches vs. Cancer fund-raising efforts the two of them have led.
Still, Martelli has long felt over the years that Dunphy's acumen as a coach has never been fully appreciated, and he believes he knows why.
"I say this lovingly, but he's boring. He's just Dunph," Martelli said yesterday as he prepared the struggling Hawks (9-17, 3-9 Atlantic Ten) for today's conference matchup against No. 21-ranked Temple (21-5, 9-2). "I think Fran Dunphy has been undervalued as a basketball coach in this area, because people concentrate on the fact he's such a good person and he does so much for the community, so people don't talk about what a great coach he is."

Razer Salmosa Gaming Mouse
At first glance, the Razer Salmosa doesn't look like much more than an ordinary USB mouse. It is a simple all black mouse with two large buttons and a wheel. There aren't any side or extra buttons, which are very common nowadays. The Salmosa is very smooth to the touch, while the large buttons are very soft and easy to work with for many hours. It is also very light and glides on most surfaces very easily, as if there is no friction between it and the surface at all. The symmetrical design of the mouse also makes it comfortable to use by right and left handed people.
How To Write Recommendation Letter To Hostel Official For Admissions Razer's logo can be seen at the front part of the Salmosa, creating a nice contrast against the all-black body of the mouse. At the bottom of the Salmosa you will notice the high quality gliding tapes, the 1800DPI laser sensor and two switches. The switch to the left controls the DPI resolution and you can choose between 800DPI and 1800DPI, while the switch to the right controls the polling rate and you can choose between 125, 500 and 1000Hz. These controls are certainly welcome and useful, but on-the-fly switches would be far more useful as it certainly isn't practical to turn over a mouse and flip a switch in the middle of a game.
The configuration software is very simple and straightforward. The Salmosa is a simple mouse so there aren't many tuning options besides typical settings such as the wheel scrolling speed and double click speed. Sensitivity is the most important setting you can adjust and it is necessary if you want to fine tune the super-lightweight Salmosa for maximum precision.

If you drive a lot on Queen Street east in Toronto, you can expect some big delays in the coming months. The TTC is installing and replacing streetcar tracks, as well as upgrading the infrastructure before the new streetcars are put on the road.As you can expect, it will mean closures must take place. The intersection of Queen and Leslie streets will be closed to all traffic from May 11 to June 21 for track installation. The intersection of Queen and Victoria streets will be closed while workers replace tracks and switches from May 11 to 31. The intersection of Queen Street and Broadview Avenue will be closed from June 30 to July 25 for track and switch replacement.Crews will also be putting in a connecting track from Queen Street line to a new facility where the new streetcars will be stored on Leslie Street. They'll also be replacing water mains under the tracks that are 80 years old. There will be streetcar diversions in the area while the work is taking place. The 501 Queen and 504 King streetcars will be diverted, and replacement buses will run along Queen between Coxwell Avenue and River Street.Additional buses will run along Greenwood, Jones and Pape Avenues to help customers get to the Bloor-Danforth subway line.

Many Java™ Enterprise applications running on WebSphere Application Server (hereafter called Application Server) require persistence of HTTP sessions, either to avoid interruption due to server failure, or because the application uses the HTTP session to store a lot of user-specific data. The HTTP sessions can be persisted into memory, a database, or any of the caching solutions provided by WebSphere XC10 or WebSphere eXtreme Scale.
When memory or a database is used for storing session data, numerous applications are facing challenges during performance requirements. Scaling and managing a database or memory is a challenging task when the load on applications increases. Configuring a replication of the database is also a costly and time consuming task because of the increased load of HTTP sessions.
WebSphere DataPower XC10 is an appliance version of WebSphere eXtreme Scale -- a distributed caching technology from IBM. The XC10 can be plugged into any Application Server infrastructure and can be used to offload the HTTP sessions into the appliance. This provides an easy and fast option to configure any Application Server environment for HTTP session persistence. The XC10, when integrated with Application Server, further enhances quality of service by offloading the application server cache memory requirements and disk usage for dynamic cache and HTTP session persistence.
In session intensive enterprise applications running on Application Server, session data can consume large amounts of memory on the application server that limits how many active users a given deployment can handle. Increasing the number of users requires increasing the number of servers -- even if the servers are not overloaded from a CPU perspective. Also, increasing the number of Application Server servers increases the likelihood of a server failure, resulting in lost sessions for users on that server.
The XC10 caching appliance can address both of these problems by offloading session data to an elastic data grid (cache) running on a separate appliance, which can be scaled up independently to address the volume of users. When Application Server is configured to store sessions in an elastic data grid, the server maintains a cache of active user sessions. The sessions that do not fit in this cache are stored in the data grid.
Consequently, they do not consume resources on Application Server. This allows Application Server to manage an increased number of active users without requiring additional memory per server, or an increased number of Application Server instances. Active user sessions are not lost in the event of an Application Server failure, since all the user sessions are stored in the highly available elastic data grid. In the event of a server failure, when the user is directed to a different Application Server (which will not contain their session data), the user's session is automatically retrieved from the grid hosted on the XC10 and cached in the new Application Server.
The XC10 comes with a flexible administration console (see Figure 1). Once
the appliance has been configured in the network, the XC10 admin console
can be accessed from a browser using
http://<IPAddress configured for appliance>.
The following options are provided by the admin console to administer the
- The Data Grid option creates data grid types of Simple, Dynamic Cache, and Session.
- The Monitor option monitors the usage of various data grids created in the appliance.
- The Collective option configures multiple appliances together for high availability and failover.
- The Tasks option views the status of tasks executed and in progress tasks.
- The Appliance option configures various settings for the appliance, along with troubleshooting the appliance by viewing the available log files.
Figure 1. XC10 administration console
In this article, we will explain how you can easily offload an HTTP Session management to the XC10 from the Application Server environment. Any enterprise application hosted on Application Server can be configured to use the session management capability of the XC10. Sessions are stored in a data grid, which you can configure from the console. The data grid configuration parameters can be tuned for performance and monitoring requirements.
You will need the following products in order to use the instructions in this article:
- WebSphere Application Server
- WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client
- WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance
Prerequisite setup procedure
- Install WebSphere Application Server on the server with the default profile.
- Install WebSphere eXtreme Scale Client on the server.
- Augment the WebSphere Application Server profile with the WebSphere eXtreme Scale feature.
After the profile is augmented, you can see the eXtreme Scale option on the profile in the Application Server administration console as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Admin console showing the Application Server profile with the eXtreme Scale client (see enlarged Figure 2)
Setting up the XC10 Appliance
You need to set up WebSphere XC10 Appliance with the latest firmware updates. You can configure it by using the serial to a USB cable supplied with the appliance. To activate the appliance, you must know specifics about the network environment, including the intended appliance IP address, the subnet mask in CIDR format, the subnet address, the gateway address, the dynamic name server (DNS) address, and the NTP (time) server address. The specifications for the DNS and NTP server can be performed within the XC10 administrative console after it is activated on the network. Set the DNS server for the XC10 properly if host names are used in the network so that the appliance can reach Application Server in case of any call back requirements.
For more details, see the XC10 Installation and Configuration document.
Once the XC10 is configured, you can access the console (Figure 3) from any
machine via the web browser at:
https://<XC10Ipaddress>. The default user
name and password are
Figure 3. XC10 administration console login screen
After you log in to the XC10 console, you can see the options to create different types of data grids as shown in Figure 4. For session persistence requirements, you can create a data grid of type "Session" from the console, or the data grid can be created for you while configuring the session management properties from the administration console as detailed in the next section.
Figure 4. XC10 administration console with data grid options
Configuring the application for HTTP Session Management
Once the server is updated with eXtreme Scale and the profile is augmented to use eXtreme Scale, any web applications installed on the server can use the eXtreme Scale features. In our scenario, we will show how to configure the HTTP Session Management for the DefaultApplication to use the XC10.
- From the Application Server V8 administration console, go to Applications > WebSphere enterprise applications. This lists all the applications installed on Application Server V8.
- Select the application for which you want to configure session management. For our scenario, select DefaultApplication.
- Select the Session Management option from the console as shown in Figure 5.
- Examine the Session Management options. Select the extreme scale
session management settings to configure the XC10 configurations for
Session Management.
Figure 5. Administration console to set the Session Management for the application (see enlarged Figure 5)
- To edit the Session Management configuration, click on the
Session management option. In Figure 6, you can
see the option to set the eXtreme Scale Session Management settings.
This option sets the details of the XC10 appliance where the HTTP
session needs to be persisted.
Figure 6. Administration console with the eXtreme Scale Session Management option (see enlarged Figure 6)
- When you select the eXtreme Scale Session Management settings option, you see a screen where you can set the XC10 appliance details for the Session Management (see Figure 7). Select the Enable Session Management option and provide the details for the XC10 appliance IP address details that have been configured in the network. Under the session persistence preference, you can configure the persist session to one of the existing data grid, or you can create a new data grid for the application. In this scenario, you create a new data grid with name "DefaultApplication" as specified in Figure 7. You can use the "Test Connection" option to make sure that the details provided are correct and the XC10 can be connected from Application Server.
Figure 7. Admin console with the XC10 Settings option (see enlarged Figure 7)
Once the settings for the XC10 are defined as shown in Figure 7, the application is ready to use the data grid in the XC10 for the HTTP session persistence requirements. You can log in to the XC10 administration console and make sure that the "DefaultApplication" Session Data grid is created in the XC10.
Monitoring the XC10
You can monitor the usage of the XC10 by using the XC10 administration console. The application configuration can be tested for various scenarios. The HTTP session object details, which are persisted in the XC10, can be seen from the monitoring option of the XC10 administration console. The monitoring option provides a view via the Data Grid Overview, individual data grid details, and data grid reports. For reference, you can test the application for various scenarios and see the usage in the XC10.
In Figure 8 and Figure 9, you can see the various graphs for the session data grid from the XC10 administration console. You can also view the same data in tabular format.
Figure 8. Monitoring that shows cache usage for the data grid
Figure 9. Monitoring that shows the average throughput for the data grid
Configuration parameters
This section lists the configuration parameters for Application Server and XC10 integration. You can tune them accordingly for better throughput during performance testing of the application based on application requirements. We recommend that you use the latest version of the eXtreme Scale client and upgrade the firmware of the XC10 to the latest available version.
- Below are the suggested settings for the ORB service:
com.ibm.CORBA.RequestTimeout=30 com.ibm.CORBA.LocateRequestTimeout=10 com.ibm.CORBA.iiop.NoLocalCopies=true com.ibm.CORBA.ThreadPool.MinimumSize=256 com.ibm.CORBA.ThreadPool.MaximumSize=256 com.ibm.CORBA.ThreadPool.IsGrowable=false com.ibm.CORBA.MinOpenConnections=1024 com.ibm.CORBA.MaxOpenConnections=1024
- Set the DNS Server value properly for the XC10 so that the XC10 can access Application Server if the host names are used. This can be done using the "set-dns-servers" command.
- Modify the ReplicationInterval, SessionTableSize, and reuseSessionID parameters accordingly based on the configuration of the server and the results of the performance testing. These properties can be set from the eXtreme Scale client properties file, splicer.properties, on the Application Server side.
This article explained the flexibility of WebSphere DataPower XC10 Appliance and demonstrated how distributed caching using the X10 can be easily integrated with WebSphere Application Server. The article also explained how the various configuration settings need to be modified on Application Server to configure the HTTP session persistence for the XC10. And finally, the monitoring features of the XC10 were demonstrated along with the configuration parameters that can affect the performance of the integrated solution.

The Browns newest receiver is expected to be in the mix to be the starter opposite Pro Bowl receiver Josh Gordon.
However, Nate Burleson said nothing has been promised him.
"It's just like anybody else coming in earn my keep and try to compete for a job," he said on a conference call Monday." It's like anything else. Going out and competing for an opportunity and in 11 years I've been everything from a No. 1 (receiver) to a No 3.
"It's less about a title and more about your production," he said. "I could care less what they label me, but it's about production. More about being consistent and helping this team win. Nothing is being handed to me, and that's how I like it."
Burleson, 32, said he learned a long time ago when he was a rookie with the Vikings in 2003 after being a third-round choice how Randy Moss and Marcus Robinson helped him and he said he has made a practice of helping younger players.
"It's very important to me and what was given to me when I first got into the league," he said. "I had guys like Randy Moss and Marcus Robinson competing with me. I'm going to embrace those I'm competing with."
Burleson has been called a good locker room presence and Browns GM Ray Farmer mentioned that was one of the factors that drew the Browns to him.
"We're happy to welcome Nate to the Browns locker room and family," Farmer said in a statement. "We added Nate because we believe he can play like a Brown, with the added veteran presence that can help young players reach their potential. He's a pro's pro.
"He's the quality-character person that understands the NFL from all angles and sides," he said. "He can play, which is evident in his beginning to last season prior to missing time, with production and value. He will improve our roster and overall competition at the wide-receiver position."
Burleson (6-0, 198) said he expects to earn the respect of the other players by being a playmaker.
"I want to earn respect by making plays," he said. "Lead by example and lessons are learned when the jerseys are off. I spent so much time off the field with Calvin (Johnson) and that's how we got so close."
Burleson played with Johnson the past four seasons with the Lions and saw him blossom into one of the best, if not the best, receiver in the NFL. He was asked his thoughts on Gordon.
"I haven't spent enough time with him to compare, but I was asked those same questions about Calvin after playing with Randy," he said. "Time will tell. Calvin Johnson is the best receiver hands down, but that took a couple of years to see that."
Burleson said Johnson was very complimentary of Gordon.
"He's a talent and for a guy like Calvin who doesn't say much, to say 'Josh is good', that says something."
Farmer said his goal has been to create more competition throughout the team.
"Like we've said all along, improving the competition at each position and adding pillars to the roster are important to us," Farmer said. "We want guys that embody the needed traits, players who are passionate, tough, relentless, productive, instinctive and competitive -- all of which symbolize what it means to play like a Brown. Nate has competed to earn his opportunities and we're excited to have him join the Browns."
Burleson said last season he was well on his way to a big season when he had a mishap and broke his arm in a one-car accident.
"I was watching a game with some guys and afterwards was taking home pizza, ribs, salads for the family and I got on the freeway and I reached over to keep the pizzas from slipping and tried to overcorrect and ended up with my arm wrapped on the steering wheel so hard I fractured my arm."
Burleson had a good season going before the accident, which cost him seven games.
"It was unfortunate because I felt we were having a really good season and had a good rhythm with Matt (Stafford). I knew the impact was going to have an impact on the team and it did."
He still had as much production as Greg Little did and only played half a season with 39 receptions for 461 yards and one touchdown in nine games.
Little caught just 41 passes for 465 yards with two touchdowns in a full season for the Browns.
In his career, Burleson has 457 receptions for 5,630 yards (12.3 avg.) with 39 touchdowns. He also has 40 carries for 257 yards.
Burleson is confident he can have a positive impact on the Browns offensive production, despite being in his 12th NFL season.
"Injuries have hurt my success the last couple years and I put up over 400 yards in half a season (last year)," he said. "I can move the chains and with the pieces with the young guys (in Cleveland), I can help."
Burleson said the Dolphins were interested in signing him and didn't want him to make the trip to Cleveland, but he had the trip to the Browns lined up and wanted to explore the opportunity with them.
"I left Miami and they were interested and I said this is a business and I had to take this trip to Cleveland and I was glad I did," he said. "I had a sit down with the head coach and the receivers coach and was very comfortable (with signing here)."

This was very good with couple exceptions. Like another reviewer stated, 1 teaspoon salt would be way too much. I used 1/4 and it was a tad bit salty. The Parmesan cheese has plenty of salt on its own. Or change the salt to kosher and sprinkle lightly on the finished product. The other change: I would use wine to deglaze instead of lemon juice. The sauce was over powering. Deglaze with a little white wine (anything unoaked) and then use a little fresh lemon wedge squeezed over to bring in the acidity. Over all, very good recipe, using leftovers (minus sauce) for Turkey Parm.
Instead of frying the cutlets, I baked them in the oven......delish!
The amount of bread crumb mix is more than enough for 4 cutlets; I had plenty left over even after cooking 6 cutlets. I had to add some oil from time to time for proper frying. Omitted deglazing the pan with lemon juice to avoid the fried oil consumption; the sauce is not necessary anyway, just be sure to serve some juicy veggies on the side.
Yum! I didn't have sage so I used basil and I also used white wine to deglaze with a splash of balsamic vinegar. I only used 1/4 tsp of salt and that was perfect. Thank you! So wonderful!
Wow! Prepared exactly as recipe calls except for using Italian breadcrumbs and I forgot about the deglazing step. They were delicious. Similar to a chicken recipe we love (melted butter, parmesan cheese, and Ital breadcrumbs). Next time I'll use egg substitute & will probably skip the deglazing. Will enjoy here on out. Thanks for sharing!
I make this at least 3 times a month! I use Italian breadcrumbs and use 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning instead of the sage and pepper as called for. I do leave out the salt and the taste is not effected. I have also used olive oil or veg oil with awesome results. Thank you Kitina!
This was really good! (I think 1/4 tsp salt would be plenty)
I did add some garlic powder to the bread crumb mix. Will not use a entire lemon next time. I did add some chicken broth and wine to the lemon and created a yummy gravy.
Delicious!!! These were so good, my 2 year old who doesn't like meat ate all of hers and some of her dad's. The turkey was a little dry, but not too bad. The recipe is very quick and easy and if there had been leftovers, they would have been great too!

If you have ever used a copy machine to make enlargements or reductions of images you are already familiar with the concept of scale. Just like we can make our images larger or smaller using a copy machine, we can make our entities larger or smaller by using the Scale command. Let's play around with Scale. I'm going to open a couple of drawings, I'm going to come up and click on my Open icon. Inside the Chapter 9 folder within our Exercise Files directory I'm going to scroll down, I have got 3 drawings that I would like to use within my Chapter 9 Demonstration.
So I'm going to click my MP3 player drawing and highlight it. And then I'm going to hold my Shift key and I'm going to click the Basketball drawing and I have highlighted all 3 of these files. Now I'm going to come over and click my Open button and AutoCAD will open all three of these drawings. Since AutoCAD supports the multiple document environment, each of these drawings is open. For right now we are going to work with the MP3 player. Let's say I would like to make a design change to this guy. I would like to change the size of the thumbwheel. I can do that by using the Scale command.
If I would like to adjust the Scale, I'm going to come over to my Modify toolbar and click my Scale icon. When I do AutoCAD is asking me to select objects, which objects would I like to resize. Now I do have several objects here so I'm going to click on the upper left hand corner outside my thumbwheel and we will create a nice window around all of these entities. Let me click to finish the window. And then we will right-click so that AutoCAD knows we have done selecting objects. Now that they are selected AutoCAD is asking to me to specify a base point. At what point what I like my geometry to get larger or smaller.
Well, I'm going to use the center point of the thumbwheel and I happen to have a running Object Snap set for center. So I'm going to move my cursor around to the Arc and click, notice that I move my cursor, I'm getting a rubber-band effect for my scale. Now I could free pick a point on the screen if I wish but instead I'm going to type in a Scale factor. Notice that the current Scale factor setting is 1. 1 means essentially no change, there would be a one to one scale. I'm going to type in 0.5 for my scale and hit Enter.
I just converted that thumbwheel to half its original size. Let's scale it again. I'm going to access Scale from the right-click, I'm going to right-click, go to Repeat Scale, select Object, let's use a key in. How about if I set P for Previous and hit Enter? I just re-selected that geometry. Let me right-click to finish the selection, specify base point once again I'm going to make this larger or smaller based on it center point. So I'm going to move my cursor onto the Arc and click and this time I'm going to apply a Scale factor of 2.
I would like to make this thumbwheel twice as big as it is right now. When I hit Enter, I just change the Scale. Now this is an example of using the Scale command for a design change. Scale also comes in handy when we have trouble with our units. Let me show you what I mean. I'm going to close this drawing. Let me come up and click little x to close this drawing. And remember that I still have two other drawings open. Let's do a side-by-side comparison. I'm going to come up to my Window pulldown and I am going to come down and select tile vertically, this will give me a nice side-by-side of each of my drawings.
If I click in a window that window becomes active so I can adjust my view. Let me pen this guy a little bit. Let me click in my Basketball drawing, we will pen him over just a little bit. Now the drawing on the left was created such that one unit equals 1 foot. The drawing on the right was created such that one unit equals one inch. Watch this I'm going to drag my basketball from its drawing into the Basketball Court drawing. I can do that by clicking on the entity and as soon as it highlights I'm going to click and hold on the dashed line and I can drag this into the court drawing.
I will release, notice my basketball is coming in way too big. Why, because in this drawing AutoCAD just sees 9.39. So when the basketball comes in it's coming in at 9.39 feet in diameter. Let me zoom in and let's correct the Scale. I'm going to change the Scale by launching my Scale command, let me come over and click the Scale icon. And in the Select objects prompt, I will select my basketball and then I will right-click to finish my selection.
Base point let's scale him about the center point I will just move my cursor on the Arc because I have a running Object Snap set for center. And I will click, and what is my Scale factor, well the difference between inches and feet is 112. So I'm going to type in 1/12 just like the fraction. And when I hit Enter I have just scaled that basketball to the appropriate size. In fact if I was to use the Move command, select my basketball, specify a base point, we will pick any point here, will zoom in, it will in fact fit through the hoop now.
Whether we need to resize our entities is part of a design change or to correct the difference in drawing units we can accurately make our entities larger or smaller by using the Scale command.

Ten volumes and approximately one year later, the mixes have greatly exceeded all expectations. As a result, we?ve decided to celebrate the 10th installment in a special way. For our tenth volume, we enlisted the services of electro-reggae-dancehall virtuoso Major Lazer. And to coincide with the special mix, Mishka produced a limited run Major Lazer tee designed by Skinny Digital. Long time supporters of Mishka and often considered family, the t-shirt was a perfect way to compliment the Major Lazer curated mix which is available in Black and White. Major Lazer is a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the secret Zombie War of 1984. The US military rescued him and repurposed experimental lazers as prosthetic limbs. Since then Major Lazer has been a hired renegade soldier for a rogue government operating in secrecy underneath the watch of M5 and the CIA. His cover is that of a dancehall night club owner from Trinidad and he enlisted the help of long-time allies and uber-producers, Diplo and Switch, to produce his first LP. His true mission is to protect the world from the dark forces of evil that live just under the surface of a civilized society. He fights vampires and various monsters, parties hard, and has a rocket powered skateboard.

"Him", may not even exist. However, there's a fear within us that you will go back to "him".
Let me explain…
Ladies, you know what lays in the back of our mind is this dormant fear or feeling that you can do better than us. Especially in the infancy of the relationship when you are looking to establish and build your bond and future legacy with your current lady. Sometimes there is that thought that you'll return to an old flame who is still somehow in the picture, maybe its your so called 'Friend' who may have been more at some point than strictly plutonic, or maybe that guy you always considered but he wasn't mature or ready then, but now he is.
As a man, we subconsciously do a S.W.O.T analysis (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity, Threats) of all your past/present & future associations with other men. We are always on the look out for that next potential threat. Will it be your co-worker? The ex-boyfriend you still talk to? That one friend who always kept his emotions at bay, or the suave tongued twitter talker lol.
Sounds like insecurity, right? and we know this is not an attractive trait for a woman to see in her man so we may mask it but it can start to be the cause of indirect arguments and tension if we do not deal with this at the root.
But why are we so fearful of a guy who isn't even relevant? It is because of this rumoured fact, most of the time ladies already have their back up guy in the picture whilst concurrently keeping us the "main" guy in the frame. In some instances its that real, and let's not deny that we haven't ever heard of such happenings before or had someone close to us in this mind-numbing situation. Furthermore, let's analyse our past break-ups and subsequent future relationships and see if there was an overlap after the initial break-up. Think about it, did you find/know your future man while dating your ex man?
For some guys it can be unnerving being in a relationship when your girlfriend continues to have strong male "friendships" that may be a future threat to your status as the number one. The whole "you should trust me" talk feels meaningless because you're feeling that your power base is gradually being eroded. As men, territorial creatures, we'd rather you remove that threat but is that us being mature or totally insecure?
I guess what I'm saying is, the way we structure our relationships can create fear and paranoia.
In fact, two personal experiences I had made me recount that "you'll go back to him" feeling: When I was in college, I was dating a girl in the same college (that failed for three reasons), she didn't make me aware that 1) her ex was also attending our college, 2) that the both of them still communicated, and 3) she felt that those two crucial points were irrelevant to mention whilst we were getting together.
Now, there could have been a chance for me to be cool and act like "it's nothing, I'm with her now", had she let me know. However, she didn't, and the whole set up made me feel uneasy and uncomfortable. I have never been a fan of someone deciding what is good for me to know or not know without me having the option of knowing lol, if that makes sense. Let me make my own decisions.
The second time I encountered this paradigm was when I entered a relationship with a lady whose previous relationship had lasted four long years. I'll be honest; it was like living in the shadow of a mountain. In the back of my mind I kept thinking, "she will go back to him. They've got more of history, they've been through more, and they've had a life together. They live in the same area."
I lived in South London and she lived in north. I was 19 and she was 18 – and her ex had dated her from 14-18. Those are crucial years for anyone of us developing from a child into a young adult. Initially i did not care about her ex as it was done between them. BUT, one day that changed. She asked me how i would feel if her and the ex were to be 'friends' – HUUUUUUUUH!!!!
He had tried to get in contact with her and wanted to be her 'friend' – so she wanted to know my feelings on this… i kept it true to the G-Code and said it is up to you about what you want to do in regards to that, you know, give her the autonomy. Her reply, 'it wouldn't hurt trying to be his friend' – Lets just say at that point i got my prideful pen and put the writing on the wall.
Let me not ramble on any further…I'll part with these words "It's tough emotionally investing in someone to end up being emotionally bankrupt. That is a fearful paradigm."
Will you go back to him??

Eric Hinske Suspension Reduced to One Game; Yasiel Puig Suspension Remains Nonexistent
Yasiel Puig (circled, with raised fist) about to punch Eric Hinske (number 22).
Major League Baseball has decided to lighten up on the horse manure of a suspension it gave to D-backs backup first baseman Eric Hinske, after the team's scuffle with the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this month.
Hinske's suspension is now one game, down from five, but the punk seen punching Hinske, Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig, in the image above was never suspended at all.

MLB disciplined 12 players and coaches between the Diamondbacks and Dodgers, and the five-game suspension of Hinske that it initially announced was the most ridiculous.

The league said via press release that Hinske was suspended "for leaving the dugout and for his aggressive actions during the incidents." It's not like the team desperately needs Hinske to play, but the suspension made no sense, especially when the video from the TV broadcast clearly shows Hinske getting punched in the head by Puig.
If you trust a "source" talking to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, "The video, when slowed down, shows Puig's head snapping back at least two or three times, as if he was hit by a punch, the source said."
Hinske jabs Puig?
You can judge that for yourself, if you start the video below at around the 5:30 mark. Puig comes in and starts shoving everyone, then gets pushed out by Hinske, and when he tries to come back, and at 5:37, it looks like Hinske may have pushed Puig in the head.
So, maybe the one-game suspension is fair. But Puig's hammer-fist haymaker should have been at least one game, too.

Save Public Education
In Newfoundland and Labrador, we have built a system of high-quality, accessible post-secondary education that works. More students from this province can access post-secondary education than ever before, and we're attracting people from across Canada and around the world who are staying and building their lives here. Now, our public education system is at risk. The Ball Government has slashed funding, including drastically reducing Memorial University's operating grant and cutting the 100% non-repayable, needs-based grants program. These will have negative repercussions on our province's economy for years to come.
Save Public Education is a campaign to restore funding to our post-secondary education system.
It's up to all of us to take action against unfair cuts that target our most vulnerable students. Together we can save public education.

A cycle track is a bike lane protected by a physical barrier from moving cars, parked cars and sidewalks. It provides a predictable space and minimizes potential conflicts between people who walk, cycle, and drive.
A pilot project is currently in place which includes temporary cycle tracks on:
Additionally, cycling is allowed on Stephen Avenue (from 3 St. S.W. to 1 St. S.E.) and Olympic Plaza although no physical track has been built. Council will make a decision on the pilot in December 2016.
Over the course of this pilot project we are carefully monitoring and evaluating the operation and safety of the roadway for people driving, cycling and walking. To help us keep track of comments or concerns, please share them with us through 311. Based on feedback from 311, we have already made some changes to ensure the safest and easiest travel for everyone.
Bicycle counts are available for each of the cycle track routes, as well as Stephen Avenue and the Peace Bridge.
Bicycle Counts Map
Parking has been maintained wherever possible. Where parking could not be maintained, we created new angle parking and micro parking stalls on adjacent streets. Since 2014, 501 new parking stalls have been created downtown to offset the loss of parking, and we have a net increase of 135 stalls in the centre city.
There have been adjustments made to the location of some loading zones. Some have been moved to provide more direct access to ramps. Maps have been created to show where parking is located along the 5 Street, 8 Avenue and 12 Avenue cycle track routes.

It's no secret that the Bills' receiving corps needs to be revamped this off-season.
With plenty of talent out there for the Bills to act on, they need to do so in the right manner to avoid mistakes they've made in the past. Overpaying for under-performing receivers is something that occurs often, and with the Bills' many other needs on the roster, they can't afford to break the bank on receivers.
One very recent bust at WR was Peerless Price in 2006. After four years away from the team, Price was signed to a four-year, $10 million contract. He had one exceptional season in Buffalo in 2002, so they thought he'd be a good investment again. What did the Bills get for this healthy investment? Not even a full two years worth of playing time. And not even 500 yards. Needless to say, Price was cut this off-season, to make room for a productive receiver.
There are two notable receivers currently in free agency that could bolster the Bills' passing game next season. Arizona's Bryant Johnson, and Seattle's D.J. Hackett are both receivers that would be a good fit for Buffalo. Both receivers offer height, which the Bills desperately need, but are they worth a lengthy contract?
Johnson and Hackett have similar stats – neither has had over 750 yards and five touchdowns in a season. Both have height and youth, but why invest in two mostly unproven receivers?
Both receivers are probably eyeing multi-year contracts, since this spring is their inaugural free agency opportunity. The Bills should spend carefully, though. It would probably be wise for Buffalo to just ink a free agent to a one-year deal. Avoid another Peerless Price situation, and test the receiver first to see if he is capable of putting up big numbers. Sign Johnson or Hackett for one year and if he makes an immediate impact, reward him with an extension.
If they decline the one-year offer, too bad.
But with the number of big contracts being offered by teams dwindling, Johnson and Hackett might want to strongly consider this as well. Holding out for a bigger contract will have teams second-guessing these players. Demanding a No.1-receiver money, but giving No. 2 or No. 3 receiver numbers wouldn't be a good business decision. Sign a one-year deal, put up good numbers, and you'll be rewarded with an extension or a lengthy contract next off-season in free agency.
The Bills primary focus should be taking a receiver in the upcoming draft. Oklahoma's Malcolm Kelly and Texas' Limas Sweed are two obvious choices and the Bills would be wise to make sure they land one of them. Both are big, athletic receivers with playmaking capabilities. They need a playmaking receiver to draw coverage away from Lee Evans.
Speaking of Evans, he is due for an extension and the Bills need to lock him up long-term. Evans is a solid foundation in which to build a receiving corps around. Give Evans enough complements elsewhere on the field, and he could be an elite NFL wide receiver. He already has a speedy counterpart in Roscoe Parrish, who the Bills gave a contract extension in December. If the Bills make good decisions in signing a free agent receiver (to a reasonable contract), or one in the draft, they will have enough to keep Evans long term.
Locking up Evans should be Buffalo's top priority at wide receiver.
Whatever the team's decision ends up being, they have a lot of choices. With all the talent to choose from, the Bills need to spend wisely and build up the talent around Evans. With a stable quarterback situation next season, and (hopefully) a shiny new receiver, look out for the Bills receivers to be a force next season.

History between War Memorial, Art Museum disrupts overhaul
On the way toward reshaping the more than half-century relationship between the War Memorial Center and the Milwaukee Art Museum, old history and simmering resentments are threatening to disrupt a planned $25 million overhaul of the iconic lakefront temple that's home to the museum and local veterans groups.
Revenue from a parking lot and who controls land on the north side of the center have become the final battleground in a dispute that has its roots in a 1997 amendment to the long-term lease the War Memorial Center has with the county on the building. A 2001 revision to the '97 pact was intended to put the dispute to rest. »Read Full Article(34)

Such were my thoughts Friday night as six veteran Milwaukee-based actors tugged at my heartstrings for the second straight year, in Next Act Theatre's reprise of "It's a Wonderful Life," as transformed by Mary MacDonald Kerr into a 1957 radio play, coming straight to us from the studio of Milwaukee's very own WNAT. »Read Full Article(1)

Why does the marginal and radical organization J Street continue to monopolize James Besser's reports from Washington ("Fresh Debate Emerging on Strategic Alliance," June 11)?
It doesn't represent the mainstream Jewish community and it calls for imposing a solution that Israel feels strongly will deny it the ability to defend itself. Engaging in nonstop criticism of Israeli policies while giving a pass to Palestinian terrorism and the Hamas butchers, J Street is as pro-Israel as Jews For Jesus is Jewish.

Goodbye PC...for now.

East Coast, USA (Represent!)
This is what I have so far.
Name: Edaan Heeraan
Nickname: Iron-Hand
Age: 22
Race: Goron
Weapon: 6 foot Spear in right hand,4 foot sword in place of his left hand that he lost while battling Bulbins. He has various attachments that he can put on it such as an axe blade or a metal hand. It depends on the moment.
Perks: Edaan dabbles slightly in explosives. He can use bombs with some proficiency. He has powerful arm muscles from wielidng large weapons in his hand and sword arm. He has powerful leg muscles that allow him to charge at great speeds. His massive arm muscles that allow him to lift insanely heavy objects. He is very elegant on the battlefield, and when he is in the middle of an enemy horde it looks as if he is doing a deadly waltz. He is surprisingly nimble for a huge Goron. He is impervious to fire. His skin is tougher than stone. He is also proficient at forging with iron and steel.
Faults: Despite his frightening build, he can not wear heavy armor. Lugging around a heavy sword on your arm and an even heavier spear can get tiring, believe it or not. He is very clumsy when he isn't "dancing". He's of average intellegence. He isn't a genius, but he isn't stupid. He has only one hand so he can only carry things in the hand unless he acquires a metal hand that could replace it. Edaan doesn NOT communicate very well with others.
Appearance: Edaan is enormous, even for a Goron. He stands at ten feet and weighs three thousand pounds. Heedaan has abnormally dark skin for a Goron: Dark red. His back is coverd in the rocky scales like most Goron's. His arms are monstrous and are thicker than a normal Hylian's torso. His legs are only three feet off the ground, which means his torso makes up seven feet of his body. He never wears armor because it slows him down, and he is surprising nimble for a Goron. Edaan's red eyes shine brighter than the lava he learned to ignore in his city. The monsterous Goron has one natural hand and one metal hand that can be switched out with a sword that screws on as well as an axe-head. The only thing he carries is a satchel that includes the axe-head and sword blade that he can attach to his hand, many bombs, and spare metal that he forges with. It ways almost two hundred pounds.
Personality: Edaan is a solitary soul. He does not interact with other people very well, for he studders when he talks and he is very awkward. When he actually initiates a conversation, it's about an upcoming battle or talking strategy with a fellow warrior. People could be shouting his name right next to him and he won't hear it. He seldom speaks unless he is in battle...and it wouldn't be called speaking. He shouts challenges at his opponents at the top of his lungs, which in turn shatters their ear drums. Iron Hand has a kind spirit, a warrior's heart, and a soldier's mind.

The White Ribbon
- Directed by Michael Haneke
===Story=== In a quiet little village in Germany a short time prior to the events of World War I life is as normal as can be. Or rather, it used to be before a wave of strange incidents sweep through the community. Injuries and deaths occur under very perculiar circumstances leaving the villagers confused and fearful. A teacher at the school tries to piece together the mystery and comes up with a rather disturbing conclusion.

This looks great!
McKool has been on the modding scene since 2007 and has found a large number of fans on the internet. He started using the Sandbox 2 Editor for Crysis falling in love with the whole process immediately. He now has a mod called "The Mutant Factor" that he is showcasing on ModDB. You can find all the info on this mod in the comments area. I have also posted screenshots and videos.
This looks great!
Very impressive
I keep check ing on the Itunes and Google Play stores and do not see it. Is it out?
I'm really sorry for the slow response. I didn't see your comment, You can simply create a folder in the Crysis directory and put TheMutantFactor folder in it. Next you open your shortcut to Crysis and add -MOD TheMutantFactor after the Crysis.exe path in the shortcut. I hope this helps.
Honestly, I have not been working on the mod. I still have it on my hard drive and I have opened it a few times but my inspiration is low. It doesn't help that the Crymod community never really supported Crysis 2 modding. Every post is either for Crysis modding or the (no longer) free SDK. I have not posted that the mod is dead though because I hope to jump back in at some point.
First off - I admire that you guys are working so hard on this and I REALLY hope you succeed. I purchased early access to help support you.
I do have a concern that I'm sure you have heard before. I have seen no updates on single player even though you make a point to describe it.
I have been following you for years and I see a video about you working on gun recoil and a single multiplayer map that appears to use the same models that you've had for awhile? I know this takes a long time but you should honestly be past that point.
I really do not mean to sound negative but I fear that this could become like Duke Nukem Forever and I really don't want to see that happen.
Nonetheless, I will keep watching and supporting you guys!
Merry Christmas!!!
Looks really god - love the menu. My only criticism is that the big red glowing object does not look good at all. The red glows sort of pops into view and is difficult to discern. What is it? It looks like the particle effect(s)is clipping through the model; especially the big red flame.
Still, great work so far!!!
Glad to hear that it is still alive!!
Looks great!! Glad to see that the mod is still active!!
Keep it up!!
Sorry for the slow response. I have not checked MOdDB in awhile. I'm afraid that I do not have a release date yet for the sequel. I have been dealing with employment issues which have distracted me from the mod. I promise that it is NOT DEAD though.
And yes, there are 2 separate mods: one for Crysis which is already released and one for Crysis 2 which is the sequel and still in development. I just post news on both profiles to try and get as many people's attention as possible. I seem to have a smaller watch list for the sequel than I do for the original. I guess not as many people play Crysis 2 mods.
I think that has been a little depressing but hopefully more will discover it once it's released.
Again, I apologize for this taking so long. Thanks for all of your support!
I'm very sorry to see this. I wish you the best with your future mods!
Thanks so much for your support!
Looks great! Will there be singleplayer as well?

Unless I missed something, your description states that you are using the Unreal engine but Cryengine 3 is listed in the profilke section.
Very nice improvement!
Nice! You might want to vary your textures a little more but that's just me being nitpicky.
It really does look great! Nice lighting!
Amazing work!!!
It's not a mod. It's a game. They are using the SDK and this will be standalone. Note that it doesn't say it's a mod anywhere in the description?
Check out my mods:
The Mutant Factor for Crysis and Crysis Wars
The Mutant Factor:Awakening for Crysis 2
How are you making this for both Crysis and Crysis2? That seems like so much work, The textures have to be modified between the versions. I say this because I wanted to port my mod The Mutant Factor to Crysis 2 and finally gave up.
Check out my mods:
The Mutant Factor for Crysis and Crysis Wars

This looks really good. One of the better looking Unity games I've seen!
Great work!!

Much better shadow placement!!! Great work!
This is looking great!
Nice textures but the big shadow in the corner makes no sense when you look at the placement of the light. Try playing with the light source placement. For example, the sink should be casting a shadow to the left based on the light placement. Just my 2 cents. Everything else looks great!
Check out my mods:
The Mutant Factor for Crysis
The Mutant Factor:Awakening for Crysis 2
Great Work! My only critism would be that the clouds look very uniform and rectangular which is odd. Doesn't seem natural. Everything else looks great though! I like the overall look and feel.
Check out my mods:

Nice shot! Good design!
Looks good! I can't wait to play it!
Keep up the good work!
is that Tim Curry?
Thanks! Hopefully, I can get this going and make my self-imposed deadline!
Merry Chrismas back at ya!!!
Great attitude! I have really enjoyed seeing your work in progress and look forward to the end product!!

Category: name disputes
By Abby Sandel
Caroline writes:
My husband and I are expecting our first child in July. We have plenty of boy names, but we are struggling with a girl's name. The only name we agree on is Mika.
One of the criteria for our names is that it should honor our Japanese and Korean heritage. Another is that the name must work with the middle name Marie, to honor a great-aunt. Mika fits the bill.
Our dilemma is that friends of ours named their daughter Mikayla last year. They said that they planned to use the nickname Mika, but so far, they seem to call her Mikayla exclusively.
Mikayla's family lives in another state, but we're part of a large group of friends, and we do see each other a few times a year.
Given the circumstances, can we still use the name Mika?
If we do use the name, what is the recommended etiquette we should follow? I don't think we should have to ask to use the name, but I'd hate to see it cause problems in our group of friends. I also worry that our daughter would be called "the second Mika."
It's one of the biggest problems parents-to-be complain about on the Nameberry forums: family pressure over the choice of a name.
Grandparents want the baby to be Leonard Roger III. Great-Aunt Matilda always wanted a little girl named Matilda.
If not promoting their own or other relatives' names, family members might just exercise what they see as their right to voice strong, uh, opinions about names. Ugh, you can't name your son Felix: That's a cat's name!
Every time you see them, they push their choices — Kaylee! Kenneth! — and reject yours.
Have you gotten pressure from your family over baby names? What kind? How did you deal with it? How did it make you feel?
Or was your family blessedly pressure-free on the topic of names? Or maybe you even tried to talk about names with them, and they weren't interested?
Our Berry Question of the Week comes from Jen Barnes of Seattle, who's facing a common problem in Baby Name Land: She and her husband are having trouble agreeing on a name for their second daughter. Here, the names he likes and those that she likes. Your job, dear berries, is to help them find a name they both will love. Jen writes:
Please help us name baby #2! Our 2nd baby girl is arriving in 4 short weeks and she has no name! Our 18-month-old daughter, Rose Katherine, was named the second we found out that she was a girl! Every time I think I have some names narrowed down, I add one to the list. My husband has been no help in this process either — ha. Here are the names he likes:
Shayla– he used to live in a city (spelled Xela) in Guatemala with this name and it is very dear to his heart but I am just not feeling it.
I love the name Nora but I fear that it is becoming too popular. What do you think?
Here are my favorite names currently:
It's the moment you've been both waiting for and dreading: Introducing the baby to Grandma – your Grandma. Sure, she's going to be thrilled to meet her new great-grandchild, delighted to discover that the infant has her late husband's dimpled chin and her own dark eyes.
The potential for dread comes in when you reveal the baby's name. A lot of names today are going to feel unfamiliar, confusing, ridiculous, or downright stupid to Grandma. If you choose one of the following, you're going to have a lot of 'splaining to do.
Brooklyn – Brooklyn is the place (to her mind, the dirty, stinking place) her family settled when they came over from the old country, certainly not a name for a baby.
Guest blogger Nina Badzin has a name problem, and it's all her husband's fault.
You would love my husband, Bryan. He's the guy who lovingly supports my fiction aspirations, encourages trips to writing conferences, preaches delightfully quaint parenting advice, and gets constant praise on my blog.
Put all that good stuff aside for this post, because now we're mad at him.
Get this: Bryan has lost faith in my baby naming abilities. MY abilities! Aren't I the person whose meanderings about baby names got reprinted on Nameberry and BlogHer? No decent person in his right mind would take away what will likely be my last chance to name a new soul.
Bryan (standing here) says I should at least tell you why he's lost patience with my baby name "issues." I'll try to set the scene for you, which took place in June:
ME: I think we should change Elissa's name.
HIM: Fine. Let's do it.
ME: Seriously? She's two.

Wine Details
Wine Description
(From 2011 Vintage) Louis M. Martini Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a deep burgundy color and complex aromas of dark fruit, smoky cedar and dried herbs. Rich and broad in the mouth, our Napa Cabernet has an expansive mid-palate, silky tannins and sought-after balance. Finely etched flavors of black cherry and blackberry are framed by licorice and toast on the long finish. Conditions throughout the 2013 growing season in the Napa Valley were excellent, making for yet another classic vintage. A timely bud break and steady flowering were followed by even fruit set and a lengthy season of warm days and cool nights. Dry weather throughout the growing season made for excellent harvest conditions, allowing fruit to be picked at optimal maturity and balance. The must was pumped over up to three times a day, with some delestage for the Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot lots to soften tannins. Each lot was evaluated separately as it aged for 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels (30% new, 70% used) with medium to heavy toast levels.
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2012 Vintage) The grapes for this wine were primarily selected from renowned vineyards in Sonoma County. For this vintage, we looked to our Frei Ranch vineyards in Dry Creek Valley AVA and our Barrelli Creek Vineyard in the Alexander Valley AVA. The 2014 growing season was another very cooperative one with early bud break, steady temperatures and long hang time that lasted through an exceptionally long harvest. The result was vibrant fruit development, ideal tannins and an exquisite vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Construction on its new Amarillo customer service center is ahead of schedule, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield hopes to hire 130 of its planned 500 local employees by June.
Applicants can begin submitting resumes online next month, Blue Cross Vice President Jackson Boen said. A Web site is not yet running.
Invitation-only job interviews for the positions will start in June, with training to begin in July.
The company is looking for 130 claims adjudicators and customer-service representatives for its new location on Wallace Boulevard west of South Coulter Street.
The rest of the employees will be phased in through 2010.
The center will answer customer inquiries and health claims thereby earning the distinction of full service.
"We find that putting all those services in one unit, we can better serve the customers," Boen said.
Boen said mid-November is now the targeted move-in date. Blue Cross had said the center would be opened by December after breaking ground in June.
Leadership for the insurance company is in town early this week to interview for 10 to 12 management positions.
"Primarily, it looks like local people that we're going to be hiring," Boen said.
The Amarillo Economic Development Corp. granted Blue Cross $2 million for the company to buy an 11-acre site in the Point West Business Park. Blue Cross will receive another $3.2 million from the AEDC if it meets the 500-employee goal.
Blue Cross expects to find a diverse, well-trained work force in Amarillo, Boen said.
"We just expect to hire a high caliber team here," he said.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield is the largest provider of health benefits in the state, with more than 3.3 million members.
