Would you like some Freedom with that Fry? GNU turns 25 and Java powers the Video!
By barton808 on Sep 02, 2008
Given that John McCain has chosen Monty Python alum, Michael Palin as his running mate, its no surprise that the Free Software Foundation has found their own British comedian to promote the 25th birthday of the GNU operating system.
The FSF have teamed up with Steven Fry English humorist, actor and novelist to produce a very cool five minute video explaining the history of GNU and the ethos behind Free Software.
Check out the video here.
And speaking of Free as in Freedom, the video is powered by Java technology (who would have predicted that a few years ago! ;)

"Operation Next is one way DCP can give back to veterans and the community. Veterans have discipline, structure and technical skills. They have teamwork and leadership skills. But most importantly, veterans understand the importance of safety. This is why we recruit and help veterans. Safety is the most important thing in our line of work," said Ghazi Shahin, DCP Midstream vice president of operations for the East Region.
Current CBC oil and gas student Mike Fahey is an Army veteran and expressed how opportunities like these help veterans reach their academic and career goals. Fahey is getting ready to graduate from the oil and gas technology program at CBC in August 2013, and he believes this donation from DCP Midstream may inspire veterans to enroll in college.
"As an Army vet, I was trying to think of what I could do for the rest of my life. Oil and gas was a good choice for me, and I have enjoyed my classes and instructor at CBC. Many young vets I know say they can't afford college or have to work to save up to come to school. It leads to a ruthless cycle of working and putting school off, so these opportunities are huge for any veteran," Fahey said.
Paul Jaure, CBC Board of Trustees chairman and a veteran, echoed Fahey's sentiments, "The $99 I received every month from the G.I. Bill gave me encouragement when I was fresh out of the military. It is my sincere hope that this generous donation from DCP Midstream will help encourage veterans to pursue their dreams. CBC is committed to helping them. We thank them for their sacrifice and service."
Veterans who are planning on enrolling in CBC courses/programs related to the petroleum industries in fall 2013 can apply for an Operation Next scholarship from now until Aug. 9 by contacting Rosie Streicher, CBC veterans affairs specialist, at (361) 354-2421 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Scholarships are available for college credit programs, continuing education courses and CDL classes. The scholarship is open to veteran students at any CBC location (Beeville, Alice, Kingsville and Pleasanton) and can be used in conjunction with other aid programs.
For more information about how you or your company can help support CBC workforce programs, contact Christy Lansford at (361) 354-2447 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com. For information about oil and gas programs/courses, contact an advisor at (361) 354-2266 or visit your local CBC location.

Recipe: Warm chocolate souffles
Dietitian's tip: Although these souffles are made with unsweetened cocoa instead of the usual rich chocolate, their flavor is just as intense. If you can't find fresh raspberries, sliced fresh strawberries will do nicely.
Serves 6
o 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
o 6 tablespoons hot water
o 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
o 1 tablespoon canola oil
o 3 tablespoons all-purpose (plain) flour
o 1 tablespoon ground hazelnuts (filberts) or almonds
o 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
o 3 tablespoons firmly packed dark brown sugar
o 2 tablespoons honey
o 1/8 teaspoon salt
o 3/4 cup 1 percent low-fat milk
o 4 egg whites
o 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
o 1 teaspoon confectioners' (powdered) sugar
o 1 cup raspberries
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat six 1-cup individual souffle dishes or ramekins with cooking spray or coat a 6-cup souffle dish with the spray.
In a small bowl, combine the cocoa and hot water, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the canola oil and stir to combine. Add the flour, ground hazelnuts and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly with a whisk. Stir in the brown sugar, honey and salt. Gradually add the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir into the cocoa mixture. Let cool slightly.
In a large, thoroughly cleaned bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the granulated sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cocoa mixture to lighten it. Then fold the remaining egg whites into the cocoa mixture, mixing gently only until no white streaks remain.

It's very easy for a new mom to feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities of caring for a new baby. The adjustments to your lifestyle, along with hormonal changes and lack of sleep can contribute
to what doctors call the "Baby Blues."
Every new mom, at one point or another, will experience a temporary
emotional slump, which usually occurs anytime within the first six
months after birth. For most women, it lasts only a few days to a few
weeks while our bodies adjust to a post-pregnancy state. On the other
hand, 1 in 1,000 women will suffer from a more serious form of Baby
Blues known as postpartum depression or PPD. The symptoms of PPD are
similar to those of the Baby Blues but are much more intense and include:
irritability, uncontrollable crying or crying for no apparent reason,
insomnia, lack of energy, loss of appetite, panic or anxiety attacks,
difficulty concentrating, lack of self-esteem or self-worth, and
incapacitating feelings of guilt.
These symptoms last longer than a few weeks and can profoundly affect the entire family. A woman who suffers from postpartum depression may feel that she's made a huge mistake, or may even feel resentment toward her baby. Others can be so depressed that they're unable to get out of bed and don't have the energy to take care of themselves or their newborns
Physical factors can bring on PPD, including physical exhaustion,
side-effects of pain medication used during delivery, and lingering pain or complications during recovery.
Genetic factors may also play a role in PPD. Anxiety,
depression, panic attacks, and other mood disorders have a biochemical
component which can be inherited much like other health problems.
Women with little or no family support are at a higher risk of developing PPD.
A newborn is a huge responsibility to take on if no one is around to
help. Feelings of being trapped or isolated are common, especially for
those who were career women and feel at odds with this new role.
Financial pressure can be a burden as well, worrying about the extra
expenses of the baby can make you feel down and depressed.
Trying to be Mom of the Year or trying to keep your house looking like it came from Martha Stewart Living may not be a realistic goal as a new mother. Get your strength back before you set out to win the motherhood marathon. Don't spend time doing things that put stress on you. Less may be more, at least for the first few months.

Hello All
If you've read my post previously, you all know that I have had my fair share of struggles with supplies for months now. I am still hanging in there, barely, and pumping 3x a day at work. I am on Reglan, 2x a day. I pump about 10-12 oz total in the 3 sessions at work. Problem is, my LO is eating 6.5 oz bottles. She will be 5 months on the 16th. We started cereal in the morning, about 3 weeks ago. I am going to start cereal at night too. From what I am reading, my LO is not in the norm for being bfed. I have had to supplement her bottles with 1/2 formula, because i am not making enough for her to eat. my stored up supply was diminishing quickly, so i had to do something.
I feel like I am failing as a mother for not giving her enough. I feel bad about her having to have 1/2 formula. I literally have tried just about ever herbal supplement, tea, extra nursings and pumpings, etc. I just can't get it to go up anymore.
What do i do, i don't want to give up, but it's so frustrating. I love actually being able to nurse my LO again without her having to have a bottle supplement, that's awesome. But now she is not sleeping through the night anymore, and nursing a lot longer than when she did use to wake up. I thought it was a growth spurt, but it's been constantly for over a week now.
any ideas, i'm out of them...
and can someone explain power pumping to me?
thanks ladies!!!

By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Club Reporter
At St. James' Park
Newcastle United 1 (Cabaye 35)
Reading 2 (Le Fondre 71, 77)
Yohan Cabaye scored his third goal of the season but could not prevent Reading coming from behind to snatch a 2-1 win at St. James' Park on Saturday.
The Frenchman curled home a brilliant first-half free-kick to give the Magpies an advantage at the interval which they fully deserved for almost entirely dominating the opening 45 minutes.
But the Royals hit back after the break with substitute Adam Le Fondre grabbing a quickfire brace to earn the visitors their first away win of the season.
United could have been out of sight by half-time but for the heroics of Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici and will look to those missed chances as they reflect on another disappointing home defeat.
Reading set their defensive stall out early on, as United enjoyed plenty of possession in the opening exchanges but were unable to break the stubborn visitors down.
The Magpies' best chance came on 14 minutes when Cabaye pulled the trigger from 20 yards, only to see his effort smothered well by Federici.
Cabaye - making his first start since 11th November following groin surgery - was clearly in the mood to make up for lost time, and immediately saw another strike, this time from a tight angle, kept out by Reading's stopper.
He then turned provider, cutting in off the right flank to dink a cross onto the head of Cisse, whose looping header was brilliantly tipped away to safety.
Arguably though, the best chance of the half fell Reading's way and came in the 27th minute.
Breaking at rapid pace following a Newcastle corner at the other end of the pitch, Danny Guthrie fed Garath McCleary wide on the right, who raced past Mathieu Debuchy before slipping a low cross into the path of the unmarked Pavel Pogrebnyak.
The big striker snatched at his chance, however, and slid an effort wide when he should have at least hit the target.
Normal service was resumed minutes later but again the hosts could not find a way past Federici - twice.
First, Cisse stung the keeper's palms with a fierce volley after a free-kick was only half-cleared, before Federici pulled off an outstanding stop to keep out the same player from near point-blank range following a Debuchy delivery.
But he could do nothing to keep out Cabaye's opener in the 35th minute. Marveaux had been bundled over 20 yards out, and the French international stepped up to curl the resulting free-kick perfectly into the top corner.
Coming out for the second half trailing, Reading would have to show more of an attacking intent than in the first period, and they almost snatched a fortuitous equaliser just minutes after the restart.
Full-back Ian Harte whipped a free-kick into the danger zone and Jonas Gutierrez, stretching, diverted it inches past the upright.
But it didn't take long for Newcastle to get back on the front foot, and Shola Ameobi curled off target from the edge of the area before Cabaye threatened from distance.
Midway through the half, Royals boss Brian McDermott introduced striker Adam Le Fondre from the bench in place of midfielder Danny Guthrie, and his bold switch was instantly rewarded.
Jimmy Kebe received the ball wide on the right and raced towards the by-line before delivering a low cross which Le Fondre bundled home from close range.
Cabaye nearly responded straight away with an overhead kick from the edge of the area that was narrowly off-target, and that was his final moment before being replaced by Gael Bigirimana.
But less than seven minutes after coming on, Le Fondre bagged his second of the afternoon to turn the match on its head.
Kebe kept a deep cross alive with a clever far post header, and former Rotherham man Le Fondre was on hand to sweep home Leigertwood's scuffed shot past the despairing dive of Tim Krul.
There was always going to be one last chance for the hosts and it fell to Cisse with three minutes remaining. Debuchy's cross was nodded on by substitute James Perch into the path of the unmarked striker at the far post.
But Cisse swivelled and somehow blazed high over the bar when you would have expected the Senegal international to slot home with ease.
And that was it as United suffered another Tyneside defeat.

Priceless market connectionsJune 28,2013PROVIDED PHOTO
A young shopper looks at the fresh vegetables at the Rutland Downtown Farmers Market.
Every Saturday, youll find me selling our farms veggies at the Rutland Downtown Farmers Market. This is one of my favorite times each week, when I get to chat with customers about their home gardens, share recipes, and feel the love of the Rutland areas committed market goers.
Around Vermont, local farmers are blessed with a customer base, rain or shine. There are popular farmers markets in Montpelier, Barre, Waterbury and even Plainfield.
Memorial Day weekend 2013 will go down in history as one of the coldest, windiest, rainiest markets on record, yet many regulars braved the weather to support the market vendors.
Besides the familiar faces, each week brings droves of interesting new market visitors, both locals and out-of-towners. This spring, we met folks from North Carolina who shared stories of their ramp festivals, celebrating wild leeks like the ones we were selling that day. And every single Saturday, we talk with locals who make us feel so grateful and happy to live in Vermont.
I like to think that the market is a place where anyone can come and feel comfortable. Customers include students, young families, elderly folks and everyone in between. You can come and buy salad greens, or you could come for Thai food. There are apples, herb plants, tamales, mushrooms, meat, fresh juices, vegan sandwiches, gluten-free cupcakes, you name it. The vendors are friendly and willing to answer questions about their goods. Most of us like to chat and socialize with our customers.
Last Saturday, a young mother told me about her son who has been diagnosed with autism. She said that his behavior and well-being improved dramatically after shifting to fresh, organically grown food and cutting out artificial flavoring and colors.
Im no health expert, but I think its pretty obvious that fresh food grown in the earth is healthier than artificial flavors created in a lab. Im cautious about what I eat, and skeptical of the safety of most food in the grocery store. Around 70 percent of the food on supermarket shelves contains ingredients that have been genetically modified, often to withstand heavy doses of herbicide.
Genetically modified organisms have been in the news a lot lately as consumers have started to demand labeling and the right to know whats in their food. As a general rule, you can assume that any food with corn, soy, sugar, or canola is GMO unless it is labeled as certified organic.
GMOs are a big topic to cover, but over 50 countries, including most of Europe, have banned them. Because wind blows pollen from field to field, there can be cross pollination; in other words, GMO crops invade non-GMO fields. More than anything, I think of health. These GMO foods have only been in grocery stores since the mid-1990s, yet 20 years later they are in almost three-quarters of what Americans eat. Kids today are eating entirely different food (if you can call it that) than their parents did as children.
Recent studies in the peer-reviewed journal, Food and Chemical Toxicology, indicate that rats fed GMO corn developed mammary tumors and suffered severe organ damage. Again, Im no expert, but judging by the obvious, Id say its best to avoid GMO foods.
Luckily for all of us in Rutland County the farmers market awaits with its bounty of fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and more. We have the option of organic, pastured, grass-fed, free range, etc.
Best of all, every shopper at the farmers market has access to the people who have transformed the suns energy into nourishment for our bodies he or she who grows the vegetables, raises the animals, and tends the orchards.
If its not the farmer, whoever is tending the market booth surely knows the farmer, and can put you in touch.
All shoppers have the ability to ask questions about how their food is produced, from start to finish. And how lucky are we as farmers to be able to look our customers in the eyes and tell them about our farm. This connection is priceless.
In this day and age, I recommend trusting your neighbor more than a giant food corporation with labs, lobbyists, and lawyers. Instead, come to the market, chat with the farmers, and fill your belly with delicious, nutritious, local food.

Prep wrestling: Warren, MHS on the mat Saturday
After an eight-day layoff from competition, Warren's grapplers got back on the mat against the Sheridan Panthers in an OHSAA duos match at New Lexington on Wednesday.
While the Warriors dropped a 56-15 decision, they won't have any time to dwell on it as they are scheduled to be back in action at The McDonald's/Miami Trace Wrestling Invitational at 10 a.m. Saturday.
"This is a pretty competitive tournament," said Warren head coach Mike Pahl. "There's 19 teams in the field."
Bill Heldman-coached Marietta High will also be wrestling on the same day in the Bob Zide Rumble in Williamstown at 10 a.m. The Tiger matmen haven't faced an opponent since hosting Warren, Belpre and Caldwell in a quad at Marietta Middle School on Jan. 9.
The MHS and Warren squads did not square off in that match at MMS.
Before Wednesday, the Warriors were in a scheduled tri-meet on Jan. 15. They split, beating Nelsonville-York 42-27 and losing to Chillicothe 45-30.
The McDonald's/Miami Trace Wrestling Invitational, a one-day tournament, is considered one of the top meets in southeast Ohio. It is basically designed to prepare the grapplers for future tournaments, like the league, sectional, district and state.
The field is also expected to include Westfall, Sheridan, Washington Court House, Wilmington, Bethel-Tate, Vinton County, Logan Elm, Greenville, Amanda Clearcreek, Athens, McClain, Gallia Academy, Chillicothe, Wyoming, Goshen, Circleville, and host Miami Trace.
Warren's nominated seeded wrestlers will be sophomore Levi Congleton (106 pounds, 28-1 record), senior Cory Parsons (113, 24-3), junior Cody Dobbs (145, 15-12), senior Austin Antill (170, 20-4), junior Zach Pike (182, 17-11), junior Chris Massey (220, 11-8), and sophomore Brandon Pahl (285, 26-3).
Congleton is the Warriors' lone top seed.
Parsons is a second seed.
Warren's unseeded wrestlers will be Austin Klintworth (152 pounds), Wayne Bailey, Austin Miles (160), and Braden Hewitt (138).
"Overall, I've been very pleased with how this team has wrestled," Mike Pahl said.
At the Bob Zide Rumble in Williamstown, which will be featuring about a 13-school field, Marietta is expected to start Josh Clark (106), Will Cogswell (182), Nick Spurr (195), Garrett Davis (152), Jake Dickson (160), Scott Bricker (138), Malachi Vaughn (120), Troy Smithberger (170), Jon Hedrick (220), David Vann (113) and Anthony Winters (145).
Host Williamstown's wrestling lineup is expected to include Dalton Smith (106), Brye Mullenix (113), Brett MacIver (120), Dalton George (126), Austin Raines (132), Joel Swisher (138), Logan Lindsey (145), Jake Tracewell (152), Trevor Anderson (160), Cody Smith (182), and Alex Rauch (285).
The Yellowjacket grapplers are coached by first-year boss Ryan Scott.
Belpre's lineup will consist of Manney Tullius (132), Jordan McCutcheon (113), Cody Martin (152), Hayden Lowe (285), Zach Davis (120), Shane Whealdon (126), Jake Hall (138), Skyler McCutcheon (145), Derek Davis (160), D.J. Leftwitch (170), and Tyler Martin (182).
Scott Zimmer-coached Waterford will be competing at New Lexington at 10 a.m. Saturday
The Wildcat wrestling lineup will be featuring Zeb Offenberger (120), Austin Lang (126), Tim Leach (132), Weston Wagner (138), Hunter Munjas (160) and Blake Heiss (182).

By Helena Rodriquez: Freedom Newspapers
I may not exactly be Miss Manners, but when it comes to social etiquette, I've got a few things to say. I'll call these Helena's mannerisms.
When someone sneezes, any proper, caring individual should say "Bless you!" If the person sneezes again, it is only proper to sigh and say bless you again. If they sneeze again, then say "All right already!" However, if it is me sneezing a third time (I tend to sneeze in threes), then another bless you is in order. An eyerolling for the inconvenience would be acceptable in this situation. Also, if someone sneezes in an alto or tenor voice, then the "bless you" should also be in alto or tenor.
According to Helena's mannerisms, when a person burps or toots, they are also obligated to say excuse me. In my books of manners, there is an added part to this "excuse me" clause in fine print just for teenagers.
The person saying excuse me should say it just as loud as the alleged burp or toot. None of this mumble jumble my daughter Laura tries to pass off in whispers. When she lets out one of her long winding Dr Pepper burps in a rhythmic a cappella style (she does have talent), I look at her waiting for the two magic words. When I don't hear them, which I usually don't, then I yell at her, and she tries to tell me that she did say excuse me.
Parents, this is not acceptable! Let me repeat, the "excuse me" must be as loud as the burp!
When it comes to tooting, a.k.a. "letting the windy," there's an exception to the rule in Helena's mannerisms. Should an incident like this occur, the alleged perpetrator should first look around and find someone else to cast the blame on. Just direct your eyes toward one person. Others will catch on and look at that person too, thus shifting the blame to the innocent bystander or bysitter. If this does not work, then see clause A above, and say "excuse me" in a tone as loud as the alleged act and try to ignore the snickers.
Helena's mannerisms also apply when interacting with others of the human species on line. For starters, DO NOT EVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, E-MAIL YOUR BOSS IN ALL CAPS! This is equivalent to shouting. The exception would be if you have a conscious or subconscious desire to get fired, or if you have a perfectly orchestrated plan for a grand finale, which ends with something like, "Take this job and shove it!"
Just like when talking face to face, also monitor your words carefully when you e-mail someone. One thing I've learned (add this to your list of Helena's mannerisms), is that the more important the person, the fewer words you use in your e-mail. The less important they are, then blab blab blab all you want. E-mail them your shopping list, your family history, your junk e-mail and the Web site to your personal blog. Note: DON'T GIVE YOUR BOSS THE ADDRESS TO YOUR PERSONAL BLOG!
I've learned that the "more important the person, shorter the message" rule applies especially when e-mailing college professors and bosses. I'd write a long e-mail explaining something in detail only to get a reply no longer than five words like: "No!," "Sounds good" or "I'll get back to you!"
Now I make these e-mails to important people as short as possible (this operates like the Miranda warning, anything you say can be used against you, so keep it short).
Your e-mail to the CEO should read something like: "Need talk budget, figures don't add, your place or mine?" Or to the professor who refuses to respond to an e-mail in more than five words, "Dog ate homework. Request extension!" or "Didn't make class, got pulled over." Save the long story and refer them to a copy of the citation on Myspace.com or attach a digital photo of the train that held you up.

Fishing in NC saturday
My uncle and I decided to look at an atlas Friday night and pick a wild stream, hopefully one that doesnt receive any pressure and holds some feisty native fish. We made our way there early saturday morning, and after catching some breathtaking scenery on the way up there, we finally put on all our gear and started our descent down to the river. About a mile later, we finally came to a picturesque spot and began to make a few casts in the frigid air, about 35 degrees.
A couple of casts went by in a nice pool and I had a fish on the blackbird. This fish proved to be too good for me, however, and he spit the hook out. I made another couple casts in the same deep pool and was watching my line intently when I noticed a sudden slow down, so I flicked my wrist and set the hook. The fish that revealed itself had a bright orange belly, a brookie! This was a pleasant surprise as I didnt figure we were in brook trout country. The weight of this fish almost doubled over my 9 5wt rod and I was getting excited. This was what appeared to be the biggest native brook trout I had ever seen, around 12, a true Appalachian gem (Disclaimer: We all know fisherman want to believe the one that got away was bigger than it actually was, but I honestly believe this fish was every bit of 12. Shawn can testify, this fish was in an area that one would think would be very favorable for a large fish). In usual fashion, however, the fish got the best of me and threw the hook after a short battle. At this point I was cussing underneath my breath in disgust, but nothing to get too mad over, Ill get him next time!
We than got back on the trail and began a strenuous, and I mean strenuous(!), walk uphill. After about 20-25 minutes, we regained sight with the stream and hopped in. I immediately hooked a fish, about 6, and then another one out of the next run which would set the tone for the rest of the day. The stream began to get tight, but I began to catch fish at a normal pace and stretched out a little lead over my uncle! He fought back though after several nice fish, some around 8, as we seemed to catch fish out of every possible area where one would hold. These fish were absolutely gorgeous as well. Their oranges were as bright as Ive never seen before, and they were taking our flies with vicious strikes. We were having a blast while at the same time, we were all by ourselves. We continued upstream for a ways and hopped out of the river for a bit before we finally got back on the trail and joined back up with the stream a little further up. We hopped in and immediately ran into some fish in some nice looking pools. By this time, the temperature was warming up, if you call 50 warm, and the fish seemed to become more active, especially to the top. My uncle managed to land (we all know who enticed the biggest(!) fish to take their fly, haha) the big fish of the day this time, a very nice brookie that probably measured about 10. The blackbird worked wonders again today!! We looked at our watches and decided it was time to walk the 1.5 mile trail back out, so we got out of the river and started the less strenuous, although still tough, trail out. We ended up with 20+ trout between us, all native brookies, and just as beautiful as could be. Although the walk in and out put a whoopin on us, it was a great day fishing with family!
Re: Fishing in NC saturday
Awesome report mtnman,
Wow, (I love the wow factor)beautful specs' and scenery. *It's great to fish those, less traveled rivlets, makes you feel like you have died and gone to heaven; especially this time of year.....
Re: Fishing in NC saturday
Great pics and beautiful scenery! Awesome fish! Thanks for sharing. :)
Re: Fishing in NC saturday
Yeah i used to fish only delayed harvest waters in nc, but grew tired of the people. I think the biggest thing that changed my type of fishing is really learning to appreciate a wild fish, as well as nature. There is nothing like fooling that fish into taking your fly. The best part is, it's not just about throwing the right fly in there; it's about careful wading, delicate presentation, and a level of stealth that would make most people laugh at me. Even if i don't catch anything, it's still been a great day.
I know that i could probably go to a delayed harvest (or stocked) stream and have a good chance at landing a 18"+ fish (i know they've stocked plenty of brutes this time, one of my buddies has caught one every time he's went), but to me there's so much satisfaction in catching a wild fish. I can't tell you how long it's been since i was so excited after hooking that big brookie. I have nothing against stocked streams, i just think that it takes a different kind of fisherman to succesfully fish for wild trout.
Re: Fishing in NC saturday
Also, nice pics!!! 8-)

The 7 A.M. Enfant's Blanket 212 eveloution and Le Sac Igloo are perhaps some of the highest quality and best designed items I own for my two children. I cannot give enough praise to these baby carrier covers. I am so impressed by the design, function and quality.
I just love my 7 A.M. Enfant Le sac igloo and Blanket 212! They are the best baby carrier covers I have ever seen. They are so attractive and so well made. Living in San Francisco, these are essentials because it is always a little chilly here. I would recommend these products to any mommy in need of a little (or a lot of) warmth and comfort for their kids while out and about.

Power to the people?
Firmly ensconced at Honey Hill Pottery again, I rearranged the studio and greeted customers who were out in the cold looking for a bargain. Simply chatting with neighbors lifted my flagging spirits, so I decided to catch the new exhibit "Nature's Palette" at Domesticities (www.thecuttinggarden.org) in Youngsville, NY. It hadn't occurred to me that the storm might have delayed the opening. When Dharma and I showed up, proprietor Anne Hart was indeed in residence and artist Susan Pascale's lovely paintings adorned the walls. Hart assured us that the rescheduled reception would occur this coming weekend (assuming that the impending nor'easter stays away) and I would encourage anyone to check out the art and fabulous vintage collectibles that make me want to redecorate constantly.
Visiting with Anne (as always) was fun, and observing Dharma snag balls of yarn off the shelves seemed to entertain us both, so (thinking cap on) I purchased a pair of cool hurricane lamps, bought a Russian fur hat across the street and smiled. Glancing at my notes, I made a quick call to Jill Padua (www.riverfolkconcerts.vpweb.com) who confirmed that singer/songwriter Joe Crookston (www.joecrookston.com) was still slated to appear at The Cooperage (www.thecooperageproject.org) in Honesdale, PA and I made plans to bask in the glow that is Joe. I've basked before, so knew that we were about to experience a folk singer in the truest form. Crookston, who can play the guitar like nobody's business, writes from the soul, wrapping his rich, beautiful voice around folk tales with gorgeous melodies.
Tunes like "Good Luck John," "The Nazarene" and "Caitlin at the Window" are new, adding to his repertoire of familiar tracks that are often covered by other artists and are now being included on soundtracks for film. Long ago, I happily joined the ranks of Crookston enthusiasts and enjoyed another opportunity to stomp my feet, sit back and experience Joe Crookston live in concert. I'm still on a high from being at the ultra-cool Cooperage, spending time with Padua, fellow folk singer Mike Jung and the Crookston fans who turned out to experience the power of the musical tour that he leads.

In a barnburner of an exhibition game, the Phillies stuck nine runs to Kris Medlen in five innings but could never overcome the lead surrendered by Rodrigo Lopez and the Phils lost 17-10 in Orlando.
The Good
The Phillies offense has been running on all cylinders and today was no exception. Dom Brown drove a 1-2 Medlen pitch to deep right center in the fifth for a two run home run, a cherry on the top of a 3-4, 2 runs, 2 RBI day. Yuniesky Betancourt no doubt increased his once-slim odds of making the Phillies with a 4-5 day at the plate, with three singles and a double. Darin Ruf brought his Spring average up to .224 with a 2-5 day with two doubles, while Ryan Howard, Humberto Quintero, and Ben Revere all had two hits as well. It was very nice to see a lot of this success come off of Medlen, who posted a 0.97 ERA with a 9-0 record for Atlanta after joining their rotation last season.
An interesting note about the Phillies hitters – their success may be due to increased playing time. The Phillies have the top four players in Spring PA appearances (Revere, Brown, Howard, and Galvis) and the number seven player (Michael Young). All are hitting well.
The Areas of Opportunity
Rodrigo Lopez was pretty well exposed today and may have cost himself his shot at the MLB roster. Lopez gave up eight runs, seven earned in two innings pitched and no reliever was able to pitch a scoreless inning. Colton Murray made his Spring debut for the Phils, giving up three earned in one inning pitched.
31 Comments
Aaron Cook didn't help himself, either, but that doesn't mean Lopez has a better chance, it only means they're both probably ready to be sent down.
All in all, this was a lousy game. I'm glad I only saw the boxscore and not the actual playing. There's only so much hitting a person can take.
The game was televised on ESPN. And as I hopped on the treadmill and saw that We were already down 0-6 in the 2nd i almost started praying on my treadmill that, that was not a starter pitching. "Thank" goodness it was an AAA'er, who hopefully just had a bad outing. Bc from what u guys posted and what I have been following he was having a good pre season.
Stutes have up a moonball. And besides a blatant miscommunication in the OF between Upton and Heyward, they looked great hitting. ESP Upton (forget which- haha!) who hit a HR
AND POOR RUF- needless to say his "catch" that happened to pop out of his glove in LF and land in HR territory will be on the highlight reel. But he bounced back at the plate. Good sign.
Fransden better make our roster.
Ruf's misplay/glove-HR fiasco is painful to watch… Poor guy. If this didn't cost him a spot on the roster, nothing will. Looks like it'll be JMJ/Nix in left.
Considering the expanded inter-league schedule and the fact that it's now spread through the season, does it start making sense keeping Ruf on on the club as a DH/PH if he can keep his average up?
Thoughts anyone?
My opinion wold be yes, but there is one problem with that, wbramh. His name is Delmon Young. They haven't seen him play, but his track record suggests that he's not a great fielder either. I don't think an NL team can afford 2 "DH/PH" types, they need at least one decent corner outfielder to go with Brown, who is only a couple years removed from being considered a defensive liability as well. Thank goodness it looks like he's improved leaps and bounds out there. My suspicion since they made the acquisition of D Young has been that, Ruf's future depends on what the Phils decide to do with him.
"wold" Nice typing huh?
I should never type before coffee!
I never type before coffee. But that doesn't assure me of not making mistakes anyway!
Ugly game. Nice to see the offense doing it's thing but the sloppy play has to stop. Seriously, how does a professional baseball player vying for a roster spot on an MLB team catch a ball only to lose it and have it go over the fence like that??? Reminds me of when Jose Canseco had that ball bounce off his head and go over.
I expect that poor kid is going to see that replay a lot, maybe on ESPN blooper reels and youtube for many years to come. Hopefully he's got a good sense of humor. I truly felt for him, seeing that look of "this can't be happening" in his face sitting on the warning track right after. I've been there.
Here's what I don't fully understand. Why didn't they try to convert him in 2010 knowing they signed Howard long term? I understand that he didn't show the power promise until 2012, but he still was a minor league career .300 hitter with a fairly decent slugging %. Maybe they tried and he just looked so bad they gave up on it? Who knows? But it would have been nice if he'd trained for it earlier and maybe would be closer to where D Brown is out there now.
And uh, (clears throat nervously) yeah, coffee probably had nothing to do with it. 🙂
Ruf played LF in 4 games in 2010, and 6 games in 2011. He even had 3 games at third base in 2011. These few appearances seem to have been forced at least in part by having Jonathan Singleton on the same roster.
Then last year at Reading he played 29 games in left, all of them after he reached mid-May and still had a .979 OPS: 3 in late May, 0 in June, 7 in July, 19 in Aug-Sep. From July 27th on, he played more LF than first base.
Agreed, it would have been nice if they had gotten him more time in left sooner, as that certainly increases his value, not only in the Phillies org. but also in a trade. They must not have thought he had the physical tools to make it work.
fyi, there are only two DH games (i.e. road inter-league games) before May 27th.
DH games by month:
April – 1 (April 30)
May – 3 (May 1, 27, 28)
June – 3 (June 11-13)
July – 3 (July 26-28)
Aug – 0
Sep – 0
The schedule makers did us a favor in August and September. I couldn't believe that when I saw it. There are some playoff possible teams playing a lot of inter-league late in the year, making it harder to catch up in your division/wild card race.
Detroit, Seattle and Toronto will all lose their DH during series in September.
On the other hand, if the Phillies are the ones fighting off divisional rivals…. One can dream, right?
"One can dream, right?"
I absolutely encourage that, yes. So, let's stretch our luck even further and take a peek at the competition schedules.
The Nats have 2 series with the Phils in September, one with the Braves and also have no inter-league games. They end on the road at the Cards and Diamondbacks.
The Braves also have no inter-league in the last month, and end at home with the Brewers and a 4 gamer with the Phils. From our perch atop the NL east we'll just have to hold them off !!! 🙂
I think Darrin Ruf will end up making this team, If he picks up his hitting like yesterday the next 2 weeks, then Charlie will make it work cause of all the power upside he brings, Especially since Young most likely will not be ready to play till late April, So Revere, Brown, Nix, JMJ, Ruf sounds like opening day. then whoever is not hitting between, JMJ, Nix, and Ruf will be out when Young is ready
I turned on the game
Saw Darin Ruf's misplay in left
and turned it off. Like someone already commented, after seeing that all I thought was "No way do the phils keep him up now". To be fair, it looked like the ball was going to be home run anyway, so at least he didn't give the team something they weren't going to have.
Which is why it was called a home run, and not an error. I think he made a good effort on the play.
Lefty, just fyi, the ball that bounced off of Canseco's head and over the fence was scored a home run, not an error.
That's all fine and dandy …. except that most MLB left fielders make that play.
There is an element I'd like to add, and it is not an excuse for Darin Ruf, or anyone else.
But I've heard for many years that the FLA sun and wind in March can make many really good fielders look bad too.
I know you've been there Chuck, would you agree? I've never experienced it myself.
That gulf wind CAN be tricky at times and the sun is at a different angle and brighter that what they've been used to all winter. So, yeah, throw that element into it. Maybe Ruf DID lose the ball somehow. BUT….. that's something that a pro player has to figure out, in my opinion. I guess I'd be willing to give him a mulligan if he was tearing the cover off the ball (which he isn't…yet anyway) or didn't have the reputation as being a bad fielder (he's not exactly Willie Mays out there).
I don't know…. there's 2 more weeks. Maybe he gets it together and makes it very hard for them leave him off the roster. I'm rooting for the kid.
Would anyone on here argue that Darin Ruf WOULDN'T be best served by starting the year in AAA and playing everyday as opposed to random starts at the major league level ??
I think it's clear that Ruf isn't ready to play LF … and his bat isn't so great that you can afford to trade the two skills … I think we open with Mayberry and Nix in a platoon .. Brown as a starter..
and Ruf in AAA
No, I wouldn't argue it at all. I also wouldn't argue trading the kid to someone that can use him at first base or DH if you can get something back for him, like a good young right handed outfielder. Skill for approximate equal skill, a simple trade to a team that has your need and you have theirs.
No team pays it's pitching staff more than the Phillies do, but even the very best pitchers don't miss bats all that often. If you're going to be a pitching and defense team, you got to have both right?
I don't think the return for Ruf will be as high as people may think (or hope). He turns 27 this summer and outside of a few PAs with the Phils in September, he hasn't even played above AA. He's a folk hero around these parts for his sudden power surge last season but nationwide there aren't many baseball people who think he's an actual prospect. I guess if you want a AAAA player from an other organization (though one who plays OF), it's possible – but the likelihood of receiving a player who will contribute at the big league level is slim.
Yea I don't know that Ruf has any trade value … people need to see more than one surprising season in the minors from a 26-year-old before they are willing to give up anything of value . . .
There were people on here earlier this offseason predicting that Ruf would put up 25-30 HRs this year .. "Folk Hero" is a good call – that's exactly what he's been since last September
He arrived here last Sept. with all that hype…40ish or whatever homers in Reading…and then sort of went on a tear when he was here. People all of a sudden thought he was the next great slugger that could propel the Phillies offense, give it that "punch" so to speak…especially from the right side. In a sense it wasn't fair to lay all that at his feet this Spring.
I am MORE than ok with him starting everyday at AAA and calling him up if there's a need and he has the numbers to warrant it. And I agree that he wouldn't bring all that much back in a trade at this point.
Well, I disagree with all of you on this. What is it about Skill for approximate equal skill, that is so hard to understand? I don't want someone to give us Matt Kemp for Ruf. Let me state my case and then tell me what you think.
Take a team with a need- the New York Yankees for instance. Texiera's out, they need a first baseman. They are so power starved they are considering keeping a 25 yr. old outfielder. (one year younger than Ruf) with 7 years of minor league service time (4 more years than Ruf) This outfielder had years of 20, 19, and 23 HR's, had years of 8,7, and 15 assists with very few errors in 90-100 games per, and they just picked up Brennan Bosch and Ben Francisco.
His name is Melky Mesa and he's a perfect equal trade for Darin Ruf. We need a right handed outfielder with a little pop, they need a first baseman with a little pop. the main difference is that our guy hit .305 for his 3 year career, and theirs .244 for his 7 years- But he can play the outfield!
If it's true that Ruf is nothing but a Philadelphia folk hero that may amount to nothing, then if you are the Yankees, you still make that deal any day because your guy hasn't been able to get out of the minors for six years.
The problem I see with this particular trade is that the Yanks also need an outfielder until their own guy heals, in spite of signing Boesch. There's a reason Boesch was released, and from what I've read, he's little more than depth. The Yanks will likely need Mesa.
I don't think anyone was saying that Kemp could be gotten for Ruf, but were only saying the return wouldn't be good. There's just not that much interest in 27 year old outfielders. If he can be traded for similar talent, fine. He'd have more of a chance as a first baseman.
I like your trade, Lefty.
Yeah, it's true the Yankees may not be the team to trade with since they're also hurting in the outfield, at least at the moment, but your idea makes total sense and some other team might make that trade now.
The one curve ball for either Ruf or some natural fielder remains the 2013 version of Delmon Young who will some day or month (for some weird reason I don't fully understand) push the more fleeted-and better arm of Dom Brown into left field..
Young has been knighted as our right fielder without having to spend a minute in a Phillies uniform – or apparently even caring to since he gets chilly easily.

Flat out ugly. No other way to describe it.

Last year, Storyfest introduced a new event on Friday prior to the main festival on Saturday, an event dedicated to Live Oak County-born and internationally renowned folklorist J. Frank Dobie: "Dobie Dichos: Campfires, Chili con Carne, and the Words of J. Frank Dobie."
Ten prominent Texas storytellers and authors took the stage at the historic Oakville Jail to tell stories and read from the works of Dobie. A meal of chili and pan de campo was served prior to the stories and readings.
This inaugural event was so popular, we are doing it again. Tickets for the second annual Dobie Dichos, pre-sale only, are $15 for adults, $7 under 12.
Storyfest Saturday begins with a 5K Race and 1-Mile Fun Walk at 7:30 a.m.
The festival grounds activities start at 10 a.m. with the sound of the George West school band leading the famous Little Red Wagon Parade.
Individuals and groups decorate wagons and pull them by hand on the festival grounds. Storytelling and music alternate on three stages, with continuous entertainment throughout the day and into the evening.
Nationally renowned and top Texas storytellers fascinate audiences with stories ranging from folklore about Texas and around the world to home-grown tales, history and more. Cowboys tell their tales in poetry form. Ghost stories spook all ages after dark in the Dobie/West Performing Arts Theatre.
The Texas State Liar's Contest© takes place at midafternoon. Two-time Texas State Champion Liar Donna Ingham will be on hand to defend her title.
Music throughout the day will get your toes tapping and maybe even get you out of your seat dancing.
Do some early Christmas shopping at arts and crafts booths. Eat tasty food like fajitas, burgers and funnel cakes prepared by local nonprofit groups.
Learn about the Alabama volunteers who came to Texas during the Texas Revolution to help Texas win its independence from Mexico.
Children can spend the day playing games, petting animals and having fun in the Children's Area, as well as experiencing Danny Conner's Reptile Adventures and the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Center for Coastal Studies' Wetlands on Wheels.
Car enthusiasts can vote on their favorite car on display at the Classic Car Show. Admission is free all day on Saturday.
This year's Street Dance from 9 p.m. to midnight Saturday features Gary Glenn and the 20X Band. Dance admission is $10.

Writing TV shows is hard. We think. Actually it probably depends on the show.
Either way, with all those characters and plotlines going on it's apparently really easy to lose track of what you're doing. That's why even good shows have plotlines that they've just discarded like so many Egg McMuffin wrappers on the street.
5Peter from Heroes Dumps his Girlfriend... in the Future
In season two of Heroes, superpowered protagonist Peter Petrelli and his girlfriend Caitlin time-travel to a virus-riddled, post-apocalyptic New York City.
Peter's time travel powers conveniently wonk out, stranding Caitlin in the future. Once back in the present, Peter thwarts the world-ending pandemic, thereby altering the timestream, saving humanity and scoring another cheap victory for bullshit TV physics.
But wait! Before you uncork that champagne, Peter, we have one big elephant in the room to address: Where the hell is your time-displaced girlfriend?
Why It's Maddening:
Who knows? And frankly, who cares? Certainly Peter doesn't, seeing as how he never mentions Caitlin again.
It's not actually Peter's fault here. Caitlin was a casualty of the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike. NBC aired only half the season's episodes, effectively shelving Heroes' spring storylines.
When the next season rolled around, Heroes creator Tim Kring was eager to jump-start the flagging series, sans time travel and pointless tertiary love interests. When asked if Caitlin would ever return, he blithely responded, "No, we passed it, we leapfrogged it."
Fair enough, but Peter's total lack of concern for Caitlin raises some disturbing implications for his character. At best, he's left her in a hellish alternate reality where 93 percent of humanity is dead. At worst, he's erased her from existence, or at least consigned her to some unfathomable living death.
Any way you cut it, he's whatever the diametric opposite of a hero is. What's that term? Oh right: douchetard.
Though if NBC had renamed the show Heroes (and One Huge Douchetard) it would probably still beat Chuck in the Nielsen ratings.
"For the last fucking time, I am NOT Jim from The Office."
4A Loose End Bugs Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Early in season one, Xander Harris, Buffy's endearingly pathetic sidekick, catches the eye of a substitute teacher who's really a giant, sex-hormone-secreting praying mantis. Sadly, this fling is the apex of Xander's sexual competence throughout the entire series.
She mates with virginal men and kills them post-coitus, thereby sparing them either the embarrassment of losing one's virginity to a giant insect, or at least the burden of a lifelong giant insect fetish, Spider-Woman notwithstanding.
We know spiders aren't insects. We just felt like posting some classy art.
Luckily, Buffy saves the day and preserves Xander's innocence. Unluckily for Sunnydale High, the episode ends with a cache of hidden she-mantis eggs hatching in the science room!
Why It's Maddening:
We never see the creepy sex-mantises again.
Plenty of lesser shows allow minor plots to meander off into nothingness, but this is Buffy, a show notorious for never, ever letting plot threads die, no matter how mind-bendingly convoluted (see: Dawn, Buffy's magical, whiny real-not real hallucination of a sister).
So yeah, Joss Whedon, we're calling you out on this: Where the hell are our sex bugs? And while we're at it, can we have Eliza Dushku too?
We get that the episode's statutory rape subplot may not have jibed with the WB's family-friendlier fare, but this is Buffy. Every other week some vampire/demon/yeti tries to kill Buffy/enslave mankind/take Willow to a gay pride parade. In Sunnydale terms, some Mary Kay Letourneau action would register on the low end of the weird-o-meter.

Oct. 18, 2010—Adults can relive favorite memories of Peanuts holiday specials and young audience members can share the spirit of the holiday season when acclaimed pianist David Benoit performs "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Dec. 17 at North Central College.
The performance featuring the Young Naperville Singers begins at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17, in North Central College's Wentz Concert Hall at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave., Naperville. Tickets are $50 and $45; call the North Central College Box Office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit northcentralcollege.edu/showtix.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" features a collection of holiday favorites and Peanuts classics, such as the instantly recognizable "Linus and Lucy." The smooth jazz performance was compiled by Benoit, a five-time Grammy Award-nominated musician, composer and arranger. Benoit has composed music for Peanuts television specials for more than 10 years, including the 2000 favorite "Here's to You, Charlie Brown." Charles Schultz's beloved characters were introduced to comic strip readers in 1950.
Since launching his recording career in 1977, Benoit's expansive career as a contemporary jazz pianist has included more than 25 solo recordings. His prolific output since 2000 includes several prominent Charlie Brown-related projects (including "Here's To You, Charlie Brown: 50 Great Years" and the star-studded "40 Years: A Charlie Brown Christmas") that reflect his lifelong passion for the music of original Peanuts composer Vince Guaraldi and solidify Benoit's role as his musical heir.
Benoit's ever-expanding slate of orchestral music endeavors include his ongoing role as conductor of the Asia America Symphony Orchestra and leading such eminent orchestras as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the symphonies of London, Nuremberg, San Francisco, Atlanta, San Antonio and San Jose.

By Ruth Ann hales, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension agent, horticulture
The healthiest landscapes are those with the greatest variety of plants.
Gardens in balance with nature usually contain several kinds of monocots (grasses) and a wide variety of dicots (broad-leafed plants).
Monocots include the Kentucky bluegrass in your lawn, lilies and iris in flower gardens and chives in the herb garden. Dicots include lilac shrubs, ash trees and petunias, as well as the many other broad-leafed plants that add diversity to your yard.
Why is diversity important? Each plant is host to various good bugs and bad bugs. If your yard contains only a few species, those plants are vulnerable to an insect infestation. If, however, your yard contains a wide variety of species, there's much less chance that any one insect will damage the entire landscape. As well as living harmoniously with certain insects, different plants also attract different diseases. Some plants actually keep certain diseases away.
Yards with only three or four different types of plants lack biodiversity. This lack creates imbalances in pest populations that can lead to unnaturally large populations. When pest populations become large, the need for chemical controls increases. Increasing plant diversity is the most environmentally safe alternative to chemical control.
It's easy to determine the extent of your yard's biodiversity. Just count the number of different trees, shrubs and grasses. Count the flowers and herbs. The higher the count, the greater chance that the ecosystem within your yard will be a balanced one.

"This invitation had plenty of room for all the information we wanted to include, and we used the back of the card to share where our daughter will be attending college in the fall. We chose the matte paper, which was perfect as the black background resembles a chalkboard look. The black also was a nice contrast to our photos."
"We Love this card --- very happy with the product when it arrived - the pictures are great! The only thing, if I had to mention something, would be the very tiny picture option on the back of the card .. the size is pretty small; however I knew that when I finished the design; not sure what else you would put there? LOVED that they give you a heads up on the extra postage too if you mail this in a regular square envelope, so we opted for them them to send a larger size to avoid the extra cost."
"This can be used for two graduates because the text can be changed and also font type to fit what you need to print. Shimmer paper brings out pics more. Im very happy"
"This invitation was for our daughter's graduation, and everything about it was elegant and stunning! The cardstock quality was VERY thick and sturdy. We opted to have the back of the card be a solid gold (as opposed to the checkerboard gold pattern that they show), and we liked it very much! The photo was bigger once we saw it in person--(as opposed to the computer screen as we were creating the order)--so it was great to see how big it was without it taking over the whole card. The gold and white lettering (and the while frame with gold corners) on the black background made the whole card "pop" and gave it a really elegant feel; plus, it was still easy to read. I felt the colors "in person" were very true to what we saw online as we were ordering, and the whole order (of 40 cards) arrived within 3 days of when we placed the order--a full TWO days ahead of when they were expected to arrive!!"
"I used this design for my son's graduation celebration. Graduating with a Masters degree wanted a true classy look and this is what I received."

To, I was asked about a help document that I have been sharing with users.. Some one called it My document, and i stopped, and corrected them, and pointed out, that in big letters, on the front, the document was created by another group, and i just found it very helpful, and was helping to distribute the information.. I continued..
"I don't want to steal their thunder, they did a great job!"
and the person looked at me, and said "i've never heard that before!"-- it took me a moment (did she mean no ever credited the other group before?) No she meant the expression-- I don't want to steal their thunder,
i don't know where i heard it.. or when i started to use it..
Does any one else use it? shall we explore it? or should i just google and take all the fun out of it?_________________________

There is a co-worker of mine who constantly says the wrong thing at the wrong time. The other day, he blurted out in our very busy office that a co-worker was pregnant. I said he shouldn't steal her thunder like that. He acted like I had two heads. I thought he was just too dumb to understand that it was her news to tell. Maybe he didn't understand the phrase?

There is a Norse legend about Thor's hammer being stolen by Thrym, king of the Giants. I doubt that many of you would care to read it even though it is short. It might have given rise to of troy's phrase.

Of course references to fish bring to mind the expression on my (then) ten-year-old nephew's face when I told him we kept old hospital records on microfiche. He, being a very smart little boy, looked up at me deadpan and said, "You mean like Uncle Jim's baby guppies?"

I have seen some sad stories about "life expectancy" of microfiche. Worst of all, involving the Library of Congress, with no clue as to alternative storage. Even CDs don't last as long as first hoped.

- Title
- Where do 'red and dead' early-type void galaxies come from?
- Author(s)
- Croton, Darren J.; Farrar, Glennys R.
- Abstract
- Void regions of the Universe offer a special environment for studying cosmology and galaxy formation, which may expose weaknesses in our understanding of these phenomena. Although galaxies in voids are observed to be predominately gas rich, star forming and blue, a subpopulation of bright-red void galaxies can also be found, whose star formation was shutdown long ago. Are the same processes that quench star formation in denser regions of the Universe also at work in voids? We compare the luminosity function of void galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, to those from a galaxy formation model built on the Millennium simulation. We show that a global star formation suppression mechanism in the form of low-luminosity 'radio-mode' active galactic nuclei (AGN) heating is sufficient to reproduce the observed population of void early types. Radio-mode heating is environment independent other than its dependence on dark matter halo mass, where, above a critical mass threshold of approximately Mvir∼ 10(12.5) Mo, gas cooling on to the galaxy is suppressed and star formation subsequently fades. In the Millennium simulation, the void halo mass function is shifted with respect to denser environments, but still maintains a high-mass tail above this critical threshold. In such void haloes, radio-mode heating remains efficient and red galaxies are found; collectively these galaxies match the observed space density without any modification to the model. Consequently, galaxies living in vastly different large-scale environments but hosted by haloes of similar mass are predicted to have similar properties, consistent with observations.

Hey Zoe…
Love the new products! And I'm cool with the CitiField… for $20M a season, I'd name myself after a corporation…
Did you see El Duque resigned w/ the Mets? I'm glad… the more the merrier when it comes to pitching!

We can all have some Citi-Subs that could include
And who knows they can have their own Citi-Pasta with orange sauce and blue cheese… LOL
