Maybe next year. Seahawks coming in hungry watch out vernon davis for that 2nd concussion

Seahawks need to improve the agility of their linebackers. Without that, they are going to get eaten up for the intermediate pass ALL DAY! San Francisco and Atlanta have the SAME problem, though between those 3 teams, my money's on San Francisco...and that's BEFORE Colin Kaepernick! Seahawks have the most lethal secondary...see how tall and physical they are? Seahawks are going to have to rely on them heavily next year...watch Seattle have the lowest percentage of 3rd downs converted against their defence next year! |

Green Bay and the Giant's need to retool, Falcon's may still be good...but, i think 49er's and Seahawks will be the two best NFC teams.....Sahawks could very well be the next Superbowl winner.....
Edmonton, Canada |
Feb 25, 2013
Seahawks have too many problems where their linebackers are concerned, and their offensive line also is struggling...they will be second to San Francisco...Seattle is NOT winning a Super Bowl. Sorry to tell you this, Go Blue Forever... |

Yeah, they had a tough time with the 49ers....lol....

I don't know about that. Seattle only has a few holes at linebacker which they could fill before the season. Being a 49er die hard Seattle worries more than any other team. Russel Wilson with another year under his belt is nothing I want to see. My thought on the secondary is how will the corners perform when the PED's they were taking are completely out of their training and games. But we will see anything can happen I'm football. Good teams can drop out of nowhere |
Edmonton, Canada |
Feb 25, 2013
You right...the holes at the linebacker positions in Seattle can be easily filled...just like they could be for San Francisco and Atlanta! For Russel Wilson to have another breakout season, his offensive line has to be retooled! Russel Wilson can run, though, as was shown by Robert Griffin III, YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER! Also, Russel Wilson is an undersized quarterback at 5'10", and it is going to be HARD for him to even get off passes against defensive tackles that dwarf him by at least an average of 8", and there will be times where Russel Wilson is going to have to resort to passing from the pocket. Russel Wilson has the same endemic issue as Drew Brees does, and Drew Brees is 6'! Also, look at Drew Brees' offensive line, when New Orleans won the Super Bowl...THAT is what Seattle needs in order to have a chance to be competitive in the playoffs, much less make the playoffs, The_Solution! Now...if Seattle's secondary were on PED's last season, this can only spell DISASTER for Seattle come next season. Seattle's secondary was very tall and physical...however, if any of that was reliant on PED's, and now, the secondary has to stay away from the juice, then you will see A LOT of tapering off, a drop in speed, physicality and agility. Not a pretty picture, ESPECIALLY when it seemed as if Seattle were a few tweaks from making it all the way up to the AFC Championship game! |

Like Charlie Sheen in Platoon, I'm a dad who actually volunteered for this. Now I just shut up and take the pain. My wife is like a sexy Keith David, catching that last helicopter out to work every day, leaving me in the chopper dust of two warring mini-sergeants, Bub and the Priestess, fighting for possession of my soul. And that makes you grandma. Consider this blog my letters home to you. It really helps if you've seen the movie.

I Quit the Baby
You've pushed me too far this time, Baby--I'm going on strike. As of right now, this instant. Finito. Find yourself a new lapdog, my friend. Your incessant demands in no way correlate to the "attractive benefits package" I was enticed by, and I am hereby going Norma Rae on you. I know your tiny brain can't possibly process this injunction, let alone comprehend the ramifications, so let me spell it out for you in my brand new I Quit the Baby Manifesto:
1. Feedings will henceforth be self-administered. This will be a neat trick, my friend. Getting the refrigerator door open should provide a veritable Everest in and of itself. Let alone turning the faucet on and warming the bottle. Oh, what does cold milk taste like, Daddy? Much like retribution, my boy. Only not as sweet.
2. Thou shalt change thine own diaper. You really shouldn't just let yourself fester in your own waste material, Bub—that is a breeding ground for diaper rash. Everybody knows that. And as for the changing itself, well let's just say your mere 4 months of dexterity training should prove to be comically inadequate.
3. Recreation will now be limited. And by limited, read: non-existent. No more fun-time walks in the Baby Bjorn, no more stroller jaunts in the sunshine. The Curious George readings, the Follow-the-musical-giraffe game, the smile-offs, all gone. Entertainment shall now be limited to variations of the How-many-fingers-can-I-shove-in-my-mouth game, aka Baby Solitaire. I'd provide you a score pad and writing utensil, but you would just shove them in your mouth.
4. Crying shall now be negotiated. No more of this free-form, willy-nilly crying stuff. Crying is a commodity, tears are now a good, subject to the laws of everyday economics. As the supply of comfort dips sharply, so shall the demand for tears follow accordingly. And should you choose to break off negotiations, I will remind you that my Ipod did in fact come with fully functioning headphones. I'm not above using them.
5. Sleeping through the day is now mandatory. It's really the best case scenario for both of us when you think about it. But should you disagree, if this upsets you and gets the tears a-welling, kindly refer back to #4.
Please keep in mind that if my demands are not met, I am prepared to go to the union I just created for assistance. I will picket and throw cans of Spaghetti-Os at any scabs attempting to cross my line. I will make signs ('Honk if you think Babies are Over-privileged' for example) and get passing cars to honk in support of my cause. Your injustices shall be known to the world, Baby, and the truth shall set me free from this baby jail I'm doing time in. It's Zero Hour, Bub—get ready for a battle of wills.
Editor's Note: Baby was given a copy of the Manifesto, which he promptly proceeded to shove in his mouth. War is hell.
2 comments:
Love the way that baby shoves everything in his mouth. That shoving his fist in his mouth is one of his best tricks. sure got a talented baby. He's gonna love reading your blog when he's 20!!! Until then, he will probably be ashamed of it.... In the meantime, I'm sure enjoying reading it!

The US economy expanded at a faster pace than previously estimated during the third quarter, official figures showed yesterday, but recovery hopes were tempered by evidence that the housing market remains hamstrung by tight credit conditions.
Gross domestic product expanded at an annualised rate of 2.5 per cent, the US Commerce Department said, revising its previous estimate of 2 per cent on the back of stronger data on spending and exports.
Though higher, economists said the figures were not strong enough to counter the country's unemployment woes. "It's a step in the right direction, but it's not strong enough to make a dent in the unemployment rate," said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Analytics.
The cheer was also limited by some grim data on the US housing market, with the National Association of Realtors (NAR) saying that sales of previously owned homes had declined by more than expected last month. Sales declined by 2.2 per cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.43 million units, down from 4.53 million units in September. Economists had expected a decline to 4.49 million units.
The NAR's president, Ron Phipps, said that, along with the uncertainty caused by the temporary ban on foreclosures in some states, the housing recovery was being restrained by "overly tight credit" standards, which was making it difficult for potential buyers to secure mortgages.

Judge Agrees Two Charges in Corruption Case Warrant Further Consideration, Dismisses Motions for New Trials
Don and Sheila Hill cross Commerce Street this afternoon after Judge Lynn said she'd consider arguments against honest services and money laundering charges.
Sam Merten
Four of the five defendants convicted last month of bribery and extortion in the City Hall corruption trial gained traction in their arguments regarding two counts as U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn agreed this morning to further consider overturning the jury's verdicts on counts 18 and 19: conspiracy to commit deprivation of honest services by wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, respectively, both of which carry a maximum 20-year sentence. Lynn also denied all motions for acquittals and new trials as expected, and she said the pre-sentencing report won't be ready by January as she had hoped, meaning the defendants aren't likely to face sentencing until February.
"If I have to decide this today, I'm going to rule for the defendants," Lynn said of the honest services conviction. She later decided to wait until the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the case of Weyhrauch vs. U.S, which is scheduled to begin December 8. The Weyhrauch case, which involves a former Alaska legislator, challenges the honest services fraud law, as does a case involving Conrad Black, which is also scheduled to be heard by the court on December 8. Additionally, Jeffrey Skilling, the former CEO of Enron Corp., has claimed the law is unconstitutionally vague, and the Supreme Court is expected to hear his case early next year. Both Hills and D'Angelo Lee were found guilty on this count.
Victor Vital, Sheila Hill's attorney, presented the initial defense of the money laundering count, claiming the act of bribery isn't complete until it gets into the hands of the recipient (in this case, Don Hill), and the government failed to prove Hill received any of the money. Sheila received money, but Vital argued that she wasn't the intended beneficiary. Ray Jackson, Don's attorney, spoke briefly and reiterated that the government failed to present proof that his client received any money.
"That's not being disputed, is it Mr. Meacham?" Lynn said.

"There's proof Mr. Hill wrapped his hands around a BMW," replied Assistant U.S. Attorney Chad Meacham, who held his hands up as if he was holding a steering wheel.
And there it was for the first time. The government admitted that despite claiming Don Hill was the mastermind of the entire conspiracy, the only evidence they had that he received anything from his efforts was the BMW.
Up next was Darlene Clayton-Deckard, Rickey Robertson's attorney. Huffing and puffing as though she had run a marathon, Deckard simply pointed out that her client was found not guilty of count 10 -- conspiracy to commit bribery -- so how could he be guilty of laundering the proceeds of the conspiracy if he wasn't a part of it?
Lynn established through Meacham that Robertson would have had to know that the money he received for the Beemer was illegal, but Meacham couldn't explain how Robertson could have possibly known that. "There's no direct evidence that he knows what [Sheila's] up to," Meacham admitted. Deckard joked that the only explanation would be "by osmosis." As a result, Lynn said she'd determine if there's sufficient evidence for the jury to have found Robertson guilty on the money laundering charge. Robertson, both Hills and Lee were found guilty on this count.
After the hearing, Don Hill told Unfair Park that Lynn's decision to give more thought to counts 18 and 19 is not only important from a legal standpoint but also from a public relations standpoint: "You look for glimmers, and those are significant things for us."
He remains steadfast in his innocence and expects his bribery and extortion charges to be reconsidered on appeal. "What you end up with is Brian Potashnik says that I pressured him so that his deal could get passed in exchanged for paying money on the Farrington & Associates contract," he says. "No e-mails about pressure, no phone wiretaps about pressure, no other evidence about pressure, no specific dates about pressure. It's just untruthful. He was just lying."
Hill also commented on our interview with juror Nedra Frazier, scoffing at her characterization of Bill Fisher as courageous. He described her statements as "a real concern" and said he had hoped the jury would look at the case objectively. "What you did with her showed that that didn't look like that happened."
Sheila Hill says she has yet to consider the thought of spending time in jail and claims she hasn't discussed a possible sentence with Vital. She too was discouraged by Frazier's comments. "It doesn't appear that there was any objectivity, but I wasn't in the jury room, so I don't know."
All of the defendants and their attorneys were in court with the exception of D'Angelo Lee, who was referred to on separate occasions as "D'Angelo Hill" by Vital and Meacham, who were corrected by Lynn. His attorney, Doug Greene, did not present any oral arguments in his defense.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
751 IDPs return to Muthur Tamil villages from Batticaloa[TamilNet, Monday, 12 March 2007, 23:16 GMT]About 751 members of 348 displaced Tamil families returned Monday evening in several buses from Batticaloa to Killiveddy in Muthur division for resettlement in Sri Lanka government held villages. This was the first batch of several thousand IDPs who first sought refuge in Vaharai and then to Batticaloa following the military operations launched by the Sri Lanka Army in August last year on Muttur east villages. M.C.M.Sheriff, Muttur Divisional Secretary welcomed the returnees at Killiveddy around 5 pm. Monday when they arrived by buses from Batticaloa. Returnees were allowed to stay in temporary shelters in Killiveddy Monday. The returnees who prefer to go back to their own houses are to be allowed to do so on Tuesday, according to officials. The families were residents of government held villages, Mallikaitheivu, Periayaveli, Pattithidal, Killiveddy, Barathipuram, Menkamam, Kanguvely, Iruthayapuram and Palathadichchenai (09 Grama Niladhari divisions) in Muttur south division before the outbreak of fighting last year. They would be provided with one-week free dry rations and would be resettled in their own houses, sources said. Meanwhile, another report said Muttur IDPs in Batticaloa are being sent to Muttur by government to give accommodation to IDPs fleeing from LTTE held Paduvankarai area following fresh fighting between government troops and LTTE. The government authorities have not granted permission for resettlement of displaced Tamil families who were residing in LTTE held villages, Pallikudiruppu, Chenaiyoor, Nallur, Koonithivu, Navaratnapuram, Pattalipuram Sampur East, Sampur West, Kaddaiparichchan East and Kaddaiparichchan South, in LTTE held Muttur East and Eachchilampathu division before the outbreak of fighting last year.

DJ Muggs Does Dubstep. Prepare For Your Head to Explode
DJ Muggs at 44 still rocks his skull cap and looks not unlike the 20-something hip-hop head who first appeared in Cypress Hill's video for "How I Could Just Kill a Man." He sits at a laptop in his Burbank studio, playing a track he recently produced featuring a pair of hit Queens rappers, Action Bronson and Meyhem Lauren. It features one of the famed producer's trademark dark, gritty, neck-snapping beats. "I made that in, like, 10 minutes," he says, adding that his critically acclaimed 2010 album with Ill Bill, Kill Devil Hills, was entirely crafted in three weeks.
The problem seems to be that hip-hop comes a little too easy for Muggs, whose career spans more than 20 years; seven Cypress Hill albums; three compilation albums for his production company, Soul Assassins; and a string of hits for folks like House of Pain, Beastie Boys and Ice Cube. So it makes a bit of sense that he'd want to do something different on his new work, Bass for Your Face, out Jan. 15. What's not so clear is why he decided on dubstep.
"I just fucking loved the music," he says, adding that he first heard dubstep in 2006 while touring Europe. "It reminded me of that same spirit when I first heard hip-hop. It was real raw, it was stripped down, it was all about basslines and drums and the crowds ... The kids loved it! So I go, I'm gonna make a [dubstep] record, but I'm going to do it my way."
The work has electronic wobbles from front to back but doesn't sound like your average Skrillex record. It's more rhythmic, and it features rappers including Chuck D, Roc Marciano and Freddie Gibbs.

Muggs actually has made electronic music before, on his 2003 album, Dust, which was inspired by the sonics of acts like Radiohead and The Prodigy. On Bass for Your Face, however, the beats are harder and louder -- and will rattle the hell out of your trunk.
"When Cypress came out, [non-hip-hop fans] were like, I don't like hip-hop but I like Cypress Hill. So my shit was to tap into that. [Bass for Your Face will] let everybody know that they don't have to live in a one-dimensional existence and do one thing."
It seems that making these electronic tracks opened up something inside of Muggs. Where he'd previously been bored with rap, he says, he suddenly made 60 new hip-hop tracks in about two months. They'll be featured on works including an upcoming untitled Cypress Hill album; oddly, however, Muggs had nothing to do with the group's 2012 collaboration with English dubstep producer Rusko.
"They kind of took over the ship for a few years -- they wanted to go in their own creative direction," Muggs says. (He also only contributed only two tracks to Cypress Hill's 2010 album, Rise Up.) "We sat down and had a conversation. I pretty much steered the Cypress Hill ship up to a point, and they wanted to do some different things and I was in a different creative space, so we shook hands. They've been steering the ship the way they've wanted to steer it. It's all good, but I'm doing the new Cypress album now."
In any case, this isn't the last we'll hear of Muggs' electronica. After Bass for Your Face, which will be released by the New York-based electronic/dance label Ultra Music (Kaskade, Deadmau5), he plans to fulfill a three-EP deal with the imprint.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
Horace Andy is one of the most distinct and characteristic voices in the reggae industry having recorded hit songs for Jamaican and European producers for 45 years.
He's probably best known for his roots songs, but he has also worked extensively with Massive Attack and also with British house master Ashley Beedle.
Now he has put out an experimental album together with German label Echo Beach. 'Broken Beats' – the title of the 15 track album – collects rearranged and reshaped versions of timeless Horace Andy material. But the label has not used old tapes. Instead Horace Andy personally put in an appearance to sing new versions of his classic tracks on top of timeless and contemporary rhythms ranging from house and hip-hop to jazz and dubstep courtesy of producers such as Rob Smith, Dubblestandard, Dub Spencer, Umberto Echo, Oliver Frost, Eva B and Fenin.
'Broken Beats' is now available on digital platforms worldwide.

Michael Bennet, who is trying to hold onto his U.S. Senate seat, has President Barack Obama in his corner. But his challenger in the Democratic primary, former state House Speaker Andrew Romanoff, has a big gun, too: former President Bill Clinton.
Romanoff has "proven himself to be one of the most effective legislative leaders in the entire country, and I think he's got the best chance to hold the seat in November," Clinton tells potential voters in automated phone calls (via Politico).
Romanoff will need the help: If the final numbers Public Policy Polling released Monday are any indication, Bennet could take the primary, which culminates when vote tallies are released tonight. Bennet leads Romanoff 49 percent to 43 percent, but nine percent of voters are still undecided, and the margin of error is 4.6 percentage points (via The Hill).
On the Republican side, the race is even tighter. Former Lieutenant Governor Jane Norton is leading prosecutor and Tea Party favorite Ken Buck 45 percent to 43 percent, with 12 percent undecided.
Early voting in the races could be a factor, since most of the state's counties are conducting a mail-only election, meaning that most voters have already made their decisions. That's why many candidates have taken their campaigns to El Paso County, home to Colorado Springs, where polls will be open, points out The Gazette.
Meanwhile, in the governor's race, one man not facing a primary, Mayor John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, has yet to answer questions involving money he received from prominent local businessmen in a land deal involving the sale of tax credits several years ago. A reporter for Face the State went to Hick's campaign office to ask questions about the matter but was ordered to leave a waiting room.

Out now!
Happy mid-week to everyone! Yesterday I got my copy of Little Treasurers Magazine in the mail, and I have read most of it already! Even if my children are a bit older I found a lot of informative articles, and I really like the design of the magazine, I felt honoured to be in it!
If you live in New Zealand, and have children, check it out: for this issue I made polenta lasagne, macaroni cheese with vegetables, potato and eggplant moussaka, miniature baked pasta crockpots, apple and sultana crumble (and sugar free apple and sultana baby food) and silver beet with a creamy sauce.
Little Treasures,

text: Frankfurt Auto Show: Turbo Cab, F*** Yeah!Mike Spinelli9/12/07 1:00pmFiled to: frankfurt auto show911997CabrioletPorsche7EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Considering the 997 911 Turbo Cabriolet hasn't had a proper intro until this week at the Frankfurt show. The twin turbocharged 3.6 liter six-cylinder has Porsche's Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) that reduces turbo lag while providing requisite pull at higher revs. The powerplant already generates 480 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque at 1,950 rpm. Porsche also offers the "Sport Chrono Turbo Package", which includes an overboost function that produces intermittent peak torque of 501 lb-ft. You can't tell from the Frankfurt show floor shots, but the turbo cab can get to 62 mph faster with the Tiptronic S tranny than with the manual (four seconds vs. 3.8). Robot shifting, f*** yeah!

CARTERSVILLE, Ga. (AP) – Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials say a teen has died after being tied to a shopping cart and pushed into Lake Allatoona.
Department spokeswoman Melissa Cummings says 18-year-old Chance Werner of Cartersville was playing a game with friends where participants sat in a shopping cart that was tied to a pole. Cummings says participants pushed the cart to the end of the dock and the person sitting in it would be flung into the water. Cummings says the cart was tied to Werner instead of a pole and pulled him under.
Cummings says Werner's body was found early Sunday morning in about 30 feet of water and he was still tied to the cart.
Cummings says Werner graduated from high school Saturday and the incident is under investigation.

Hominid Timeline Homo Sapiens fossils cannot be found older than 100,000 years. Many other hominid fossils have been found and dated millions of years older. If homo sapiens didn't exist 1 million years ago, but some other hominid, like Australopithicus did, how did modern humans get here if not gradually via evolution?
why cant you extrapolate that evolution process back billions of years?
We obviously dont have the fossil record to show exactly the path that occured

I refuse to believe in evolution until the day I open up a jar of peanut butter and a parrot pops out.
I.B. wonders why he hasn't seen a fish turn into a bird? REALLY?!? Who is he, Kirk Cameron?
Who is being stupid here?
I say I have witnessed evolution. I know it exists.
I just don't know and have never seen any evidence--fossil or otherwise--that proves or even substantially validates any theory that somehow all life arose from a void containing some pool of DNA.
What I don't see in this thread is any one that believes life evolved from a DNA or chemical pool explaining why the Senator's question should be embarrassing to them??
Congrats on expecting evolution to answer a question it doesn't try to. You're looking for abiogenesis...
The point being people that insist that life arose from a DNA pool in a random way are making a proposition no more far fetched and no more fact based than a Creationist who claims it is all God made.
but one species doesn't evolve into another.
Big Bang, abiogenesis, and evolution are often lumped in together by atheists and theists alike.

I have a sql 2005 install on a active/passive cluster attached to a SAN. Currrently I have an array set for my mdf E:, my indexes i:, translogs k:, and backups on l:. Currently I have my tempdb on e: with the MDF's which probably is not the best place (This is an OLTP db). If I had my choice I would like a separate array for the tempdb, but if not would my I: drive with the backups be the best place. This drive is utilized mostly at nite when I do my litespeed backups with the client use is way down. Any thoughts
Ok, what kind of activities are expected from the application and queries that are executed regularly. If your SQL Server's tempdb database is heavily used by your application(s), consider locating it on an array of its own (such as RAID 1 or RAID 10). This will allow disk I/O to be more evenly distributed, reducing disk I/O contention issues, and speeding up SQL Server's overall performance

Until the update of wordpress 3.2 I could see with no problem the Jetpack Stats in my wordpress Dashboard.
I read your warning that for people hosted by Godaddy (like me) the problem was under scrutiny. I then received an e-mail from WordPress to install the version 3.2.1 to solve the problem. I did but I still have the HTTP 408 problem (and stil the warning for Godaddy guested web site).
Is this normal?
Blog url: http://www.b2bchannelblog.com
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
why I can't connect to wordpress through Jetpack even with WordPress 3.2.1. ?
Could you try the following:
- Deactivate the Jetpack plugin
- Deactivate and then delete the old WordPress.com Stats plugin
- Reactivate the Jetpack plugin and activate the Jetpack stats module
I deleted the old WordPress.com Stats many months ago (when I installed Jetpack).
Anyway, I deactivated and then Reactivated Jetpack but I am getting the usual message "site inacessible... HTTP 408.... if you are hosted by GoDaddy...."
Paolo -
Are you currently hosted by GoDaddy?
I am hosted by GoDaddy. Do you need some specific details from them?

We are aware of this issue with GoDaddy and are currently working with them towards a solution. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

Your lovemap, the mental image of what you want in a relationship, guides the way your actual relationships unfold. Sex researcher John Money, who first used the term, defined a lovemap as the mental guide that shapes your erotic desires in relationships. However, Money's use of the term might more accurately be referred to as a "sexmap."
Another well-known relationship expert, John Gottman, adapted Money's term to refer to knowledge of your romantic partner's more general interests, preferences, attitudes, and behaviors. However, this seems more accurately to describe your partner's lovemap, not yours. The lovemap you have is your own image of how a relationship can, and should, be. It's the script that drives your hopes, expectations, and ultimately your behavior, in romantic relationships.
Think of a lovemap as your relationship GPS. It serves to point you in the direction of certain types of partners (the "destination"), tells you when you'd like to reach certain relationship goals (the "estimated time to destination"), and gives you an idea of what obstacles will stand in your way (what traffic or construction to "avoid"). These three factors all make up the expectations we have about our current and future relationships.
The lovemap starts to take shape early in life as you observe the relationships of the people closest to you. Ordinarily, this process starts as you see how your parents get along (or don't). From this real-life portrayal, you start to build in expectations about how much affection romantic partners show to each other, how often and in what ways they argue, and how they share family tasks.
As you get older, you start to revise your lovemap when you see what it's like for you in your own budding relationships. You realize which types of partners you prefer in terms of gender and age, and form preferences about the values and attitudes you want your partners to share with you. Additional factors start to come into play such as how long you expect your relationships to last, which you develop from watching your parents, and as you identify with the values of your ethnic group, religion, or community. Cultural depictions of relationships heavily influence your lovemap as well. A steady diet of movies in the romantic comedy genre can lead you to expect every relationship to have a happy ending despite the hilarious challenges you may have to overcome.
Our lovemaps, then, reflect our own sense of who we are in relationships. Once developed, we use them to help us decide who to become romantically involved with and how to manage what happens in these relationships. If your lovemap is based on a conflict-ridden view of relationships, you'll find yourself involved in frequent arguments unless you make a conscious effort to redefine your lovemap so that it doesn't simply replicate those of your parents. On the other hand, if your parents were openly loving and their relationship was well-balanced, you'll have a positive lovemap in which you expect relationships to be affectionate, healthy, and respectful.
Your lovemap doesn't have to remain fixed by its early influences, however. If your lovemap is based on models of relationships that are maladpative, you don't have to go through life with a maladaptive lovemap. Relationships develop in mutually reverberating ways, with each partner influencing the other one's lovemap. People who fear making long-term commitments because their lovemaps are based on these models of unhealthy relationships can gradually become more comfortable with commitment if they are with a reliable and loving partner. We are constantly adjusting our lovemaps based on the realities of our relationships as these evolve over time.
Though lovemaps are complex and multifaceted, we can break them down into these GPS elements. Answer these 10 questions to figure out what your lovemap looks like now:
Time to destination
Obstacles to avoid
From these questions, we can identify 4 types of lovemaps:
Relationship-oriented: You desire commitment, want your relationships to last, and don't like being without a partner, and want your relationships to be conflict-free. You prefer to be with your partner but don't mind spending time with others.
Conflict-oriented: Commitment is not an issue for you, and if anything, you tend to seek conflict. If a relationship is too even-keeled, you feel that something is missing.
Commitment-avoidant: You don't feel ready to make a commitment until a relationship is well underway (if at all). At the first sign of conflict, you're out the door.
Relationship-dependent: Like the relationship-oriented, you value a committed relationship, but you do everything you can to spend time alone with your partner rather than share him or her with others. You believe in the one life-one love model of relationships and therefore demand exclusivity.
Now that you've asked yourself these questions, see if you can answer them for your current (or ideal) romantic partner? What type of lovemap in a partner would best match your own?
By assessing your own lovemap, you'll be off to a good start in navigating the road of your relationships. It will be most likely to keep you on track if you can clearly identify these three key components and be willing to adjust them as your relationships, in turn, evolve and grow.

(a dance about the economy)
A collective failure instigated by Keith Hennessy and produced by Circo Zero.
Turbulence (a dance about the economy) plays with normative disruptions and calculated disregard for generally accepted rules of engagement. A collaborative creation, the work is an experimental hybrid of contemporary dance, improvised happening, and political theater; it is a bodily response to economic crisis. Instigated before Occupy and engaging questions of debt, value, and exchange, Turbulence is intended as both provocation and affirmation of global movement for economic justice.

Story highlights
- Nancy Koehn: Steve Jobs is rightly celebrated for products he introduced
- She says Jobs' central insight was that we live in transformative times
- Jobs knew technology enabled everyone to do what only a few could do before, she says
Steve Jobs died Wednesday at the age of 56. Within minutes of the announcement, Twitter and other digital channels were flooded with outpourings of grief for a very private man who leaves a very big mark on the world.
It is the footprint, not of a manager or philanthropist, but of an entrepreneur. His legacy is that of an individual who used his drive, vision, curiosity and keen intelligence to follow new possibilities relentlessly without being deterred by the obstacles on his path.
From the introduction of the first Apple computer in the late 1970s to his "wilderness years" at NeXT and Pixar in the late 1980s and early 1990s to his leadership in developing the iPod, iPhone and iPad during the last 10 years at Apple, Jobs turned his energy to creating new offerings that change people's lives.
From the get-go, he understood he was living in a moment of far-reaching transformation that we now call the Digital Revolution and that in such a moment, a lot is at stake.
Invested with a sense of his importance on a stage where everything from telephony to publishing to music distribution was up for grabs, he knew there was no time to lose in developing powerful, beautiful, engaging products and services.
This understanding fueled the relentless pace of innovation at Apple during the last 13 years. (It may also have fed his often severe, controlling and still-inspiring managerial style.) Undoubtedly, the breadth of Jobs' vision steered Apple toward market leadership and a long series of financial home runs.
But throughout Jobs' journey, we never thought it was solely -- or even primarily -- about the money. More than 15 years ago, Jobs realized that (what we then called) the Information Revolution was bigger and bolder than groovy products and the convergence of technologies.
It was about democratizing all kinds of activity by breaking down barriers in how information is distributed. As he explained to Rolling Stone, this development meant "individuals can now do things that only large groups of people with lots of money could do before. ... (W)e have much more opportunity for people to get to the marketplace -- not just the marketplace of commerce but the marketplace of ideas. The marketplace of publications, the marketplace of public policy. You name it."
If we think about the role of smartphones in the Arab Spring or the Occupy Wall Street protests, we see just how right Jobs was. This is impact, measured in a deep, lasting way.
And this is how ultimately Jobs will be remembered. As an entrepreneur -- like Henry Ford or perhaps Alexander Graham Bell -- whose vision expanded both our sense of individual freedom and connection with each one another. In an uncharacteristically candid speech at Stanford University in 2005, Jobs advised young people to follow their passion and stay foolish and hungry. He did this all his life, and the world will never be the same.
Small wonder we grieve today.

Something has to change, and it's not military women
Updated 4:27 pm, Thursday, June 27, 2013
There was a not-so-funny joke that made the rounds at my long-ago U.S. Navy posting at McMurdo Island in Antarctica.
There's a woman behind every tree. And there were, of course, no trees.
Not totally accurate. True, I never saw a tree but there were women, a vastly outnumbered few who wore the same uniform I did. And a few others perhaps — civilians working on National Science Foundation research projects.
One memory remains vivid.
Picture a mess hall at mealtime. At the peak of summer staffing "on the ice," the place is filled to the rafters with men. One of the few women walks in. All eyes are instantly riveted and ribald comments, some not cloaked in whispers, begin.
Back then, most of these women were in — what seemed to me — open and consensual relationships with guys also stationed "on the ice." This included men who outranked their partners. And I remember at least a few of the men and women were married to other people "off the ice."
I've often wondered whether this was love or self-defense or both — whether these attachments occurred because they offered some measure of protection.
This would be understandable. Women in the military are victims of sexual assaults more often, proportionately, than military men or civilian women. This newspaper's "Twice Betrayed" series and its reporting of the sex abuse scandal involving trainers and trainees at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland have told of their travails. Not much mystery why the rate of underreporting of assaults in the military exceeds that in the civilian world.
And I wonder if the military culture is any different now than it was from 1973 to 1977, when I served. I drew shore duty mostly and women sailors were always around, albeit always a clear minority.
In an insightful op-ed piece in the Washington Post in May, Robert H. Scales, a retired Army major general and former commandant of the Army War College, explained.
"This is about culture," he wrote. "The rank and file have yet to accept women into their community."
Given my own experiences, this rings true. Then and now.
"The chest-bumping manly culture rejects the presence of women in the ranks," wrote Scales, father of two daughters, also Army veterans. "Sadly, many soldiers still view their domain as a male preserve."
I've not seen it described better.
Women have fought and died in U.S. wars. If that isn't qualification enough for acceptance, I don't know what is. Yet, the Pentagon has just now begun to detail plans to integrate women into combat roles.
This belated acceptance of women in the military professions more apt to see combat says something about this lack of acceptance generally.
You see, if they are not "us," they must be the pampered "them" — and in a military "manly culture," they are only good for you know what. Let me suggest that this is the opposite of manly.
At my other Navy duty stations, women sailors were just plain treated differently — differently even than the women civilian workers around. They were not always treated badly but enough times to be noticeable. I've simply not seen its equivalent in the civilian world.
It was a culture of us and them — of tolerance perhaps, but not acceptance. And it doesn't seem to have changed.
Something has to. And, guys, it's not military women.
In last week's column, I incorrectly reported the number of Border Patrol agents that would be added by a proposal by Texas Sen. John Cornyn. It would have added 5,000, and another 5,000 customs agents.

Hang in there with me while I promise you these three things:
1. If you can boil water, you can make your own ricotta cheese.
2. It will take you less than 15 minutes from start to finish.
3. It will taste so good, you will wonder why on earth it took you so long to figure out that you should have been making your own homemade ricotta cheese for the past hundred years.
4. It will take all your willpower not to stand there next to your bowl of delicious fresh ricotta and not eat it all in one fell swoop.
Get out your handy strainer and put it in your sink. Line it with a little cheesecloth, which you can find in your supermarket, sometimes with the baking stuff and sometimes with the laundry stuff, for mysterious reasons. I usually fold it into a square that has about 3-4 layers until it looks like this. This will take you two minutes.
Now take a nice heavy saucepan and pour in 4 cups of whole milk, one cup of buttermilk, and 1/3 cup of heavy cream. Set it on the stove and put the heat on to medium high and bring it to a boil. In the early going, you may want to clip a candy thermometer on to the pot so you can watch the temperature, because when the temperature gets to about 185 degrees, the curds (the solid part) will have separated from the whey (the liquid part), and it's time to strain it. If you don't have thermometer don't fret, because you can pretty much see it happening. The milk mixture will boil, and it will gradually curdle and separate into the solids (the curds) and the watery looking liquid (the whey). This will take about 10 minutes…sometimes less. When it does, take the pot off the burner and reach for your handy slotted spoon, and start scooping out the solids, letting the liquid drain off. Drop the spoonfuls of solids into your strainer.
I like to sprinkle a little coarse salt onto the cheese every couple of spoonfuls or so. Once you are done, let it drain for about 2 minutes (if you like your ricotta moist) or 5 minutes (if you like it drier). You can leave it right in the strainer, or you can be like I was when I first made it and hang it dramatically from your kitchen faucet (see picture above). Taste it after a few minutes…if it's gotten too dry just stir in a tablespoon or two of milk, and if it's too moist for you, let it keep draining.
Fifteen minutes have now passed, and you have made your own homemade ricotta cheese.
And if you are like me, you will never even LOOK at those ricotta containers in the supermarket again.
Things you can make with your glorious homemade ricotta include…
Summer Lasagna. A cool lasagna that includes fresh zucchini, sweet little cherry tomatoes, basil from your back yard…and ricotta cheese.
Zucchini Carpaccio. Almost as fun to pronounce as it is to eat. Almost.
Or you can cook up some soft scrambled eggs with fresh chives and during the last minute of cooking, swirl in some ricotta cheese. Heaven.
Or you can just stand there at your kitchen counter and eat it with the closest available spoon. I may or may not have done this at times.
Happy fresh homemade ricotta cheese. No fear!
- 4 cups whole milk
- One cup buttermilk
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- Coarse salt
- Line a fine mesh strainer with several folds of cheesecloth and set it in your sink.
- Combine milk, buttermilk and cream in medium heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil until cooking thermometer registers 185 degrees...if you don't have a thermometer, keep an eye on it to see when the curds (the solid white parts) are mostly separated from the whey (the cloudy liquid). This will take about 10 minutes...stir a couple of times during the boiling process.
- Remove from heat and using a slotted spot, scoop spoonfuls of the curd into the cheesecloth-lined strainer, sprinkling with a little salt every few spoonfuls or so.
- Let the ricotta drain for about 5 minutes and then taste to check the consistency. If you like it drier, then let it drain a little more. If you like it moister, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk. This ricotta is best used right away, but will keep for a day or two in the fridge.

This uses a batch file through an ftp site and communicates information through the site. The server file will loop and keep trying to execute a file on the ftp site the client will place that file on the site and the server will finally execute it after it really exists. In the Client you type the .bat file you wish to execute on the remote computer. You can make it send a response to check for a connection as shown below.
Open dos and get into the directory the client is in, type the filename of the client then before you hit enter hit space and then the batch file you wish to execute on remote computer. After you have done that hit enter. I don't like doing it that way but I did that to make it compatible to Win95/98. For this to actually work the client must be opened first.
echo open>ftp.txt echo servex.europe.webmatrixhosting.net>>ftp.txt echo servex>>ftp.txt echo password>>ftp.txt ("password is the password") echo put respond.bat>>ftp.txt echo bye>>ftp.txt echo set resp=here>respond.bat ftp -s:ftp.txt delete ftp.txt delete respond.bat
I have always loved using ms-dos to create programs because you can do practically anything with them, if you put your mind to it. Well i spent about 10 minutes on the client/server program, and tested it, it seems to work just fine. I highly recommend batch programming and if you have any questions over any ms-dos stuff just let me know.

Romance on the Shores of Qualicum Beach
Buena Vista by the Sea • Qualicum Beach, Canada
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Superior Queen Suite
- Romance Basket
- Welcome Cheese Platter
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Four Nights
The Destination
Qualicum Beach, the name, doesn't exactly do justice to Vancouver Island's most popular resort town. Oceanside is more like it, which is what locals have taken to calling this sweet stretch of sand less than two hours from Victoria. Set on the Strait of Georgia, Oceanside comprises about 15 miles of beaches and golf courses, from Qualicum Beach down to Parksville. In the warmer months, the region is bustling with vacationers who've come to relax in the sand; the rest of the year, residents enjoy a peaceful lifestyle centered around nature and artisanal food and drink.
The Digs
Steps from the sand and just a short walk to some of the best dining in Qualicum Beach, Buena Vista by the Sea offers a quiet vacation getaway that caters specifically to adults. The resort was initially built in 1937 and, over the years, has expanded to include six suites spread out on half an acre of prime waterfront real estate. Each renovated room is equipped with a full kitchen and a beautiful ocean view, plus cable TV and high-speed Internet access. The upper suites offer a private balcony, while the lower suites feature sliding patio doors that open onto the manicured lawn. Peaceful and romantic, it's just the spot to rekindle the flame.
"Buena Vista exceeded our expectations in every way. Rob and Claire were very hospitable and helpful. The room was very comfortable, clean, and very nicely decorated. The grounds and view of the ocean from our balcony was incredible."

After two years at Occidental, Barack Obama transferred to Columbia College in New York City, and received his bachelors degree from there in 1983. Obama majored in political science with a concentration in international relations. By the time he got there, I had already graduated from Columbia College in 1976, majoring in political science with a concentration in international relations.
Barack Obama's next move after New York City was to Chicago, where he worked as a community organizer before deciding to go to Harvard Law School. I'm sure he did not realize that he was following in my footsteps. I also moved to Chicago after graduating from Columbia College, to attend the University of Chicago Law School, graduating in 1979. Barack Obama was the president of the Harvard Law Review. I was an associate editor of the University of Chicago Law Review. Barack Obama returned to Chicago after graduating from Harvard Law School, where he continued working as a community organizer, spent some time at several downtown law firms, became a state legislator, and for twelve years, quite some time after I had already left, taught constitutional law part-time at the University of Chicago Law School. Barack Obama bought a house on 51st and Greenwood. From my second year of law school through my clerkship in federal district court in Chicago (1977 through 1980), I lived about 6 blocks away from the Obamas' future home, in an apartment on 53rd and Dorchester.
I am the product of a mixed marriage, my father being Jewish and my mother being gentile. While this caused some confusion in my life, I eventually decided to lean more toward my father's side, married a Jewish woman, and have raised my kids as Jews. Barack Obama is also a product of a mixed marriage, and though he was raised by his mother and her parents, adopted his father's ethnic identity, and married an African-American woman. Barack Obama wrote a memoir entitled Dreams from my Father, in part about the effects of his absent father on his life. My father, who was a psychiatrist, lived with us, but was frequently absent because he generally saw private patients in his office downstairs until 10:30 at night. My father was very interested in dreams, and wrote extensively on that subject.
When I was a kid, my hero was John F. Kennedy, and I told people that I wanted to be president of the United States when I grew up. Barack Obama is said to have had similar ambitions at a young age. Oh yes, and we are both big fans of Stevie Wonder. On the other hand, I have never been all that interested in basketball, although I did handle a case for Michael Jordan once. I guess I could also mention that Barack Obama shares his birthday with my sister.
I have been an enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama from the time he announced his candidacy for president, I like to think because of his leadership qualities and the positive message of his campaign. But all of these weird similarities in his life path must have played some role as well. Whether because of the many coincidental places where our paths have crossed, or whether because I just happened to be searching for ideas similar to those behind Obama's campaign, I have found myself strangely attuned to his message, and felt the need to communicate and explain it to others. Hence this blog.

That is the best, the most meaningful way to think during your break time. This makes your life most beneficial. As much as possible with awareness keep ones attitude and thoughts in bodhichitta, the thought of benefiting others, try to do all the activities with that mind, including doing your job and throughout the day. This way even in your break time whatever you do becomes the cause of happiness.

Meanwhile a new day
I know right, 2 posts in 2 days!
Lots of stuff to show you today, some new, some just new to me.
Firstly, I wanted to show this skirt, because, well, its beautiful, it comes in a variety of colours, so black/white, black/cream and black/silver.
Plus I've been on a tattoo hunt, and not the 'just slap some text on a tattoo layer' type tattoo, which tbh I'm sick of.
