Singh falters, Baddeley impresses
Page Tools
Vijay Singh fell on his own sword in the final round at the Bay Hill Invitational here on Sunday, while Aaron Baddeley kept his US Masters hopes alive with another impressive performance.
On a day when Singh found water at the final hole to make double bogey and hand Kenny Perry victory, Baddeley continued his recent hot form by finishing equal fifth, after coming seventh, sixth and 11th in his previous three tournaments.
He jumped from 36th to 27th on the US PGA Tour money list, and from 156th to 114th in the world rankings.
And while he's still a long shot to qualify for the Masters, with only one week left to jump into the top 10 on the money list or the top 50 in the world, it's not an impossible task.
"We're going in the right direction," the Victorian said after a closing even-par 72 on the Bay Hill course. "Play well next week and I'll be in the Masters. That was my goal at the start of the year and I'm on track.
"I missed a couple of putts to keep the momentum going today, but overall, I'm happy with the week."
Perry and a surging Singh were tied at the par-four 18th, before the Fijian boldly aimed his seven-iron approach shot at the flag, only to agonisingly watch his ball land on the rocks in front of the green and ricochet back into the water hazard.
"I was trying to win the tournament," Singh said. "It was a good shot. I just hit the wrong club."
Singh regained the world No. 1 ranking, two weeks after surrendering it to Tiger Woods, but didn't seem to care. "Big deal," he said. "I lost the tournament."
Woods and Ernie Els tied for 23rd on one-under 287, one shot better than Adam Scott.
In Phoenix, Arizona, Annika Sorenstam made up four strokes in the last three holes against a faltering Lorena Ochoa then beat her on the first hole of a play-off to win the Safeway International.
Australia's Karrie Webb had a forgettable 75 in the final round that sent her down the field into a tie for 26th.

The final countdown!
Well, our week's worth of work here is done now, and we did a pretty
good job if I do say so myself. We didn't manage to get everything
done, but considering we started on site over 2 weeks behind schedule
(due to the weather), we made up a lot of ground.
The final status of all the jobs we had on our list is as follows:
- All the repairing and replacing on the existing school got
finished, incuding new window glass, new blackboards, whiteboards, pin
boards and a few other bits and bobs as well
- The building itself of the new classroom was complete, all windows
fitted (though we ran low on putty towards the end!), paint applied,
ceiling hung and floor laid. All that is needed now is some final
cleaning, floor tiles to be laid and another coat of paint.
- The Basketball court was completely finished and tested by the children at the end of the day
- The Jungle Gym was completely finished and marked out with a safe layer of bark chippings
- The wonderful mural was finished and just needs to be hung now
- The site is 99 percent clear of rubble, so safe for the children to play on when the strike ends
As you will know if you've been keeping up with the TV coverage, the
teachers and children weren't in school this week due to strike action,
but it was a wonderful site to behond when a group of neighbourhood
children came to test the Jungle Gym and Basketball court – there
wasn't a dry eye in the house, though the rain may have helped!
The teachers and staff at Vuyani made us a delicious lunch of
traditional fair at one of their homes, and presented us with the
official school T-shirts for everybody there. They also performed some
brilliant traditional songs for us, which was really special for us
Whilst we didn't finish everything we set out to achieve, it was
great news to hear that the guys from Cashbuild, who helped so much
with the project, are going back to the site with some of our Cape Town
staff next weekend to finish everything off, so the school should be
complete in our absense.

Friends race in Sri Lanka to raise money for trafficking victims
Three Austrian friends would do almost anything to help victims of human trafficking. This summer they are racing a tuk tuk (or auto riksha) across Sri Lanka to raise funds that will benefit local organizations working to end human trafficking.
The three young women are getting ready to traverse the spicy island of Sri Lanka and awaiting to explore the East and less travelled North. Their team is named "The Sound of Tuk Tuk" and it will be competing on the Lanka Challenge 2011, a 12 day journey race covering 1,500 km's in a two-stroke powered tuk-tuk across the beautiful island of Sri Lanka.
The objective is to raise money for social projects aimed at supporting victims of human trafficking. These projects will reach the Tamil speaking communities and will be employed to support initiatives of local NGO's.
The "Sound of Tuk Tuk" team will dedicate this adventurous challenge to the victims of human trafficking in Sri Lanka and hopes to get everybody's support in raising funds to support victims.
You can also follow the Race against human trafficking on Facebook.

I'll preface with the fact that I haven't re-watched the game at this point, so everything is taken from my in stadium perspective as well as what I've read. The best thing about the re-watch is you get to pick up on the little nuances from a different angle, but unfortunately I'll have to keep the DVR stockpiled with this game until later in the week.
Well at least we're sort of where we wanted to be right? One game away from gaining a birth in the Georgia Dome. It hasn't been the prettiest road, but at least we're here. Furthermore, we've got a chance to do some really special things. Saturday's win was another that a was a little shaky at points, but in the end Georgia avoided the "let down" game and played a pretty solid last 3 quarters.
For the second week in a row, the defense excelled. Sure they were aided by some miscues from Ole Miss, but when you're forcing 3+ turnovers a game you have to give some credit to the unit forcing them. On the first Ole Miss touchdown, you could hear the angst in the crowd just as Mark Richt stated. It looked like the standard and feared vanilla effort would ensue. Instead, the defense buckled down and found a way to dictate the tone of the game. We had good pressure in the backfield, and once again I was happy about the attitude that our guys were flying around with.
Damian Swann is turning out to be a heck of a cornerback. I remember when he was recruited he was overshadowed by people with higher "Rivals star" rankings, but he's really continued to develop over these past few weeks. He's exuded the discipline needed to play corner in the SEC. He's not a flashy guy per se, but if you watch him play he rarely misses his tackles or assignments. He was forced to play early due to suspensions and is now a regular starter. He's also displayed the ability to be in the action, as he was a key component in two turnovers this past weekend.
Aaron Murray had another one of those semi quiet - looked over stat line kind of days nationally, but delivered another solid performance. Furthermore, the guy was on his butt for most of the first half. The offensive line certainly didn't build on its best performance of the year versus Florida. Nearly 400 yds, 4 TDs, and 0 picks will usually get the job done. Once again as well he spread the ball to his plethora of receivers for the scores.
The rushing attack of Gurley and Marshall didn't reach the end zone, but Todd had a pretty decent day. He's now closing in on 1,000 yards as he went over 100 for the day. While he didn't score, he had one of those high yardage keep the ball moving on a ton of carries games that makes you believe he's a workhorse back. One of the things this tandem has done so well this year is take care of the football, and unfortunately Marshall put it on the ground.
The fake a la David Greene vs. Auburn was awesome, and Richt seems to bring this play out at the perfect time, simply waiting a couple years for the right moment.
Alec Ogletree's pick was a great display of athleticism. This guy seems to catch a lot of flack for coverage issues, but he was in the right spot on that one as the wounded duck came down to earth. he was also responsible for the safety and played that tackle perfectly.
While he made all of his extra points, Morgan shanked a field goal. Hopefully confidence isn't becoming a factor with this guy because we'll need him at some point (like the Dome).
Tavarres King catches a touchdown pretty much every single game. It's almost a given.
Speaking of touchdowns, Malcolm Mitchell reeled in another long TD pass pretty much just flying by the corner. Seems he's eased back into his role of the big play threat at WR.
Garrison Smith had an impressive day in the opponents backfield for the second week in a row. The guy has a high motor and I love watching him get after it.
Zander Ogltree had a big spot this weekend with Hall being injured and had a nice game finding the end zone. It's good to be hopeful that we can get one yard when we need it with the big guy.
The tight ends made a guest appearance once again with Lynch and Rome both reeling in some nice catches. Seems these guys certainly aren't the main focus of the passing game.
I sat on the North alumni side of the stadium this week, and man was it calm. There's been a lot of banter on the boards after this weekend about stadium atmosphere, and I'll probably post some of my previous write ups on this topic.
In the end I would say it was a "desired result". Sure there were miscues, but the final score and balance we showed in the second half can't really make you mad. It had the potential for a let down game and we even spotted them 10 points, but finished strong. We're one game away from getting back to the Dome which is our ultimate goal every year.

The Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) is warning scrap metal recyclers about a scam that has been uncovered where scrap metal recyclers are being offered non-existent cargoes of scrap metal.
According to the BIR, over the past several weeks there have been reports that cargoes of scrap metal have been offered to companies at reduced prices. Further, the BIR notes, these deals were accompanied by documents confirming the quality of the goods being offered.
After verification through the ICC International Maritime Bureau (IMB) BIR says it became apparent that the documents were not authentic: In several cases, the same documents had been presented on multiple occasions with different company names. This suggests that either the same individuals were behind these offers, or that the documents were available in the public domain and ready to be manipulated by fraudulent individuals.
According to the IMB, an analysis of the offers revealed that they were often made in the name of real traders, whose identities were cloned for fraudulent purposes.
The BIR warns that one strategy seemed to be the creation of a new website with a domain name similar to that of the genuine company, featuring contact details but with different telephone numbers. In the meantime the IMB found out that at least one of these numbers was used for multiple companies and that email communications allegedly sent from a UK-based company were actually generated in Nigeria.
IMB also pointed out that if a potential buyer would be sufficiently tempted by these offers and agree to take a sample cargo, he would be provided with a set of shipping documents and a link to an online cargo tracking site to monitor the progress of these cargoes, which were allegedly transported by a well-known carrier.
Once funds are handed over and the goods are not received there is little the recycler can do to recover the loss. Law enforcement will not get involved unless there is proof that a crime has taken place in their jurisdiction. Furthermore, many of the cases involve funds of less than $100,000, making them a low priority for police.
The BIR has an agreement with IMB to share information on fraud and theft in the recycling industry. BIR urges its member companies that any suspicious documents or fraudulent activity be reported to IMB so that the information can be disseminated to manage risk.

ELON, N.C. - Appalachian State University men's tennis is set for two matches in as many days when the squad takes on a pair of Southern Conference opponents this week. On Wednesday, the Apps travel to face Elon at 2:30 p.m. before returning to the ASU Tennis Courts on Thursday to host The Citadel at 2 p.m.
Appalachian (8-5, 2-1 SoCon) wraps up seven-straight road matches with a visit to Elon, where the Phoenix (7-9, 4-1 SoCon) have not lost a league match on their home court. The Citadel (5-13, 0-6 SoCon) comes to Boone after nearly four weeks without a win over a Division I opponent.
Last week, the Mountaineers fell in non-conference action to nearby rival Charlotte before picking up league victories over Georgia Southern, 7-0, and Davidson, 5-2. Pending any weather-related relocation, Thursday's mach will be the Apps first on their own outdoor courts.
Appalachian's top individual and reigning SoCon Player of the Week Alex Markov has won 10-straight matches, including five in a row each in singles and doubles action. His combined 6-0 week led him to become the third Mountaineer to receive the league distinction this season. Along with doubles partner Alain Humblet, the two seniors are 8-1 in their partnership at No. 2 doubles.
Elon's lone conference loss came by way of a 2-5 defeat by College of Charleston earlier in March. Of the Phoenix's nine losses, four have come to nationally-ranked opponents, including a 0-7 sweep by No. 50 North Florida last week. Elon has defeated The Citadel, Chattanooga, Davidson and Georgia Southern in the front half of its SoCon slate.
Elon's top singles player, Cameron Silverman, has posted an 11-5 overall record, including a win over No. 115 Danny Kreyman of No. 42 Wake Forest in February. Silverman had strung together eight straight wins before his most-recent loss against UNF. Stefan Fortmann is 11-4 at the No. 2 spot, and like Silverman, he has gone 8-2 in his last 10 matches.
After a 4-2 start to the year, The Citadel slumped into a streak of 11 losses in a row, finally snapping the lull with a 5-2 win over Wisconsin-Whitewater on Monday. The Bulldogs finished the 2011 season with a 0-10 league mark and are still in search of their first SoCon victory since 2010.
The bright spot in The Citadel lineup is top individual David Orces. The junior Ecuadorean and 2010 SoCon all-Freshman selection has won eight straight in the No. 1 slot, including four wins over conference opponents.
After Wednesday, the Mountaineers head to UNCG on Saturday for a noon match to start the second half of their league schedule.

Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem
jaymoss123 wrote:
I have the Logitech Driving Force GT. When I use my brake pedal, let go off it and then get on the throttle, my brakes are slightly on. Has anyone had anything like this, if so, how did you fix it?
I had this problem (very annoying), I did a few things..... I removed the springs and stretched them, I put "filler" in the hole where the potentiometer sits (hole sorta worn out)........ I installed a "stop" to the brake pedal to relieve some of the pressure on potentiometer and springs when brake is applied.
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem[ Edited ]
You can help yourself out a bit by bagging (simple supermarket plastic bag or garbage bag) your pedals when not in use.
Another thing is, it's quite critical, once dragging brakes starts to be a problem, to make sure you calibrate your pedals carefully the first time you drive after booting up the game. Make sure to NOT touch your pedals until you get on track (do an arcade or Practice lap before you go online until you have this technique down) then firmly press the brake fully on, then quickly (but without letting the pedal 'bounce') let off the brakes, then do the same for the accelerator.
With practice, you can get the brakes to not drag by doing this. And if you fail, and find them dragging a bit, simply disconnect the pedals from the wheel, then reconnect and go through the same routine until you get it to where they don't drag.
Of course, if PD ever gave a rats about their players, they would add a pedal 'deadzone' like every other racing game out there... but that's probably asking too much, isn't it?
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem
Just use a dreml tool or a file or whatever to increase clearance on the part of the housing where the brake pedal hits it when you are off the brakes. I think the weight of your foot on the housing pushes it down a bit after much use, causing the pedal to not come back quite far enough. At first, just cleaning accumulated dust and debris from that area might solve it temporarily. But for a permanent fix, you have to increase the clearance. It only takes a tiny difference, like a 16th of an inch or so. I have done this fix to more than one set of pedals and it works every time. I'm using a Logitech GT that I fixed this way a long, long time ago and the fix has worked ever since.
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem
It adds that Extra Return, and also increases the Pedal Resistance..
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem
I think I'm to the point where I need to buy new pedals... I hope Logitech can replace the DFGT ones for a fee. I've also heard that the G27 pedals work w/ it... anyone know?
Only fix I have not tried is the wire-tightening, which may be worth a try.
but generally I try a fix, it's better for a while, then it comes back.
cleaned, shaved off bits, added on bits... and then it returns.
Last night's racing w/ MasterGT made me so frustrated that I cannot deal w/ it anymore. Think I need a fresh set...

Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem
Unfortunately, cleaning, lubricating, grinding plastic, shimming springs etc are all just temporary fixes that only last for a short while. You will never again be able to have complete confidence that you'll make it through an important race without a problem. Logitec will only replace the peddles if they are still under warranty and they will NOT sell you just a peddle set. This is my big complaint about Logitec wheels. The DFGT is a good wheel even for die hard racers but the peddles simply are NOT. I will never understand why they would risk their reputation by not making the peddle set available to be purchased new. Every Logitec wheel that I have ever purchased has eventually developed a peddle problem. After about 3 or 4 fixes I then buy a used set and start the process all over. If you are a serious racer then you should probably step up to a G27 since the peddles are superior. As for me, Logitec may have lost me as a customer due solely to their peddles. I have heard that the G27 peddles can be re-wired to function with the DFGT but why should you have to do this? Wouldn't it make more sence to be able to simply purchase a new set through Logitec? Better yet would be the option to upgrade to the superior G27 peddles, directly through Logitec, already properly wired.
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem[ Edited ]
There are other brands of replacement DF:GT pedals that can be bought, however many/most of them cost more than a G27. The Fanatec CSR, with the adapter, would be somewhere around $100US.
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem
Yes, there are peddle options out there but they either require wiring or considerable cash. As it stands it makes more sence to upgrade to a better wheel that already has better peddles. The DFGT may be an entry level wheel but it is too good to just be a throw away wheel. It doesn't really warrant spending too much money or hassle to keep it alive however when the G27 is available at a reasonable price, albeit nearly double the price of the DFGT. New peddles available directly through Logitec would be a great solution and would prevent people from feeling jilted when they develop a problem with an otherwise fine product. I just really think it would help their reputation if people did not have to learn this lesson the hard way.
Re: Driving Force GT pedal problem[ Edited ]
thanks SSracing & MGT,
I need to do something, and money isn't exactly growing on trees. I still feel like at least trying to get Logitech to send me out a replacement is an option, because I can be rather persuasive with customer service on occasion
otherwise $100 for some pedals might end up being okay as an investment. that's a better alternative to paying $300+ for a new wheel & pedal set.
EDIT: Case in point, I just called the city to pay a ticket (window tint = B.S. law) and they insisted on charging me a $25 late fee because it has been 15 days since the ticket was issued. However, I had tried to make the payment on Thursday of last week and was told that because of furlow days (means gov workers cannot work and don't get paid) that the court was behind in entering the ticket into the system. I argued with the first lady. All she offered was for me to talk to a magistrate, which means going to city hall and wasting time and perhaps not winnig the argument.
So I asked to talk to her supervisor, and she politely agreed to transfer me. Once I explained everything to the manager, she was able to process my payment without the $25 fee.
BTW, I was pollite the whole time and was simply insistent that I should not be charged a fee for late data entry...
Now, on to calling Logitech ...

As for the title of the album, Carey said it is named after "personal possession of mine that's part of an entity that I've had almost all my life."
In the Billboard interview, Carey and her new manager Jermaine Dupri discuss the long road to her new record, as well as her stint on American Idol, and her 2013 shoulder injury which she says she "downplayed" at the time. Carey reveals that she went back and listened to her own catalog to get inspired for the new record, which features a wide range of collaborators. In addition to longtime cohorts Dupri and Rodney Jerkins, Carey has spent time in the studio with Hit-Boy, Mike Will Made It, Wale, Nas and Trey Songz, as well as "a special guest star that I'm not allowed to reveal."

Where I stayed
"I'm sorry. No guests are allowed," replied the desk clerk at the Abbott Hotel on West Belmont Avenue in Chicago's Lake View district.
"I'm not a guest. My name is Jack Drury," I said, spelling out my surname. "I'm in 103, please check the register."
"We have a Mr. Lloyd and a Mr. John Drary, but that's not your name. You said—"
"Here, look at my passport. It's what I used to register. Look at the photo, then at me. We're the same," I said, shoving my travel document in front of him. "The other clerk that was here must have spelled my name wrong in the registry. Jack is a nickname for John, just as Bob is short for Robert and Bill is for William. It's a North American thing. I don't know why. Please let me in. I need to pee."
The clerk looked at me still not sure, then said, "I'm sorry Mr
Ten minutes later Lloyd entered the lobby and had to go through the same routine.
The Abbott Hotel is a ten minute walk from Wrigley Field, home of the National Baseball League Chicago Cubs. Lloyd and I were on our second annual Major League baseball pilgrimage. We arrived earlier in the morning from Milwaukee.
Walking the streets that surround Wrigley Field you feel as though you're in another time; more 1920's than new millennium. A small one truck fire station built in 1915, a year after the final construction of Wrigley, sits on Waveland Avenue adjacent to the left field bleachers. Wrigley is surrounded by old bars and restaurants that most likely were built at the same time as the stadium itself. Wrigley Field is to the baseball fan what Mecca is to the Muslim; St. Peter's Basilica to the Catholic. It's my favorite ballpark and I wanted to show it off to my amigo.
There were a few things I hadn't taken into account though. I'd bought the tickets
on the web back in March
We left the game after the 7th inning. It was 10 o'clock. Back on West Belmont, hookers of nondescript gender prowled outside the Abbott while roaches roamed inside. Down the street at Wrigley the game went into extra innings with the Pittsburgh Pirates beating the Cubs in the 15th inning. Lloyd and I were both fast asleep when the final run crossed the plate.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Monday said inflation above 7% was still high, signaling there might be fewer rate cuts going forward if inflation remains at elevated levels.
"If you take the macroeconomic context today, we will find that growth has moderated, inflation has come off from the peak but even at 7-plus percent is still high," said D Subbarao, governor, RBI.
While retail or consumer-price based inflation jumped to over 10% in December, headline inflation declined to a three-year low to 7.18% during the month.
The RBI had slashed the repo rate by 0.25 percentage points in January, but refrained from spelling out further rate cuts due to concerns about the current account deficit (CAD) -the gap between forex earned and forex spent - and inflation flaring again in the later half of 2013.
Subbarao also cautioned that the country was headed for the highest-ever CAD this fiscal, after it rose to 5.3% of GDP (gross domestic product) in the second quarter.

The Detroit Red Wings and Florida Panthers are both having trouble making progress toward their respective postseason goals. The teams, though, have a chance to earn some key points at the expense of each other during Sunday's matchup at Joe Louis Arena. Having been eliminated from contention for another Central Division title, Detroit (46-27-5) has set its sights on the next best thing, home-ice advantage for the opening round of the playoffs. The Red Wings, set to make a team-record 21st consecutive postseason appearance, haven't helped themselves by going 3-8-2 over their last 13.

Women's Basketball Adds Two to Recruiting Class
May 17, 2011
CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati Bearcats women's basketball program has added two student-athletes to its 2011 recruiting class, third-year head coach Jamelle Elliott announced today (May 17).
"We are very excited that both Lesha [Dunn] and Chelsea [Jamison] will be joining the Bearcat family," Elliott said. "Lesha is going to give us a presence on the inside with the ability to block shots and give us some points in the paint. Chelsea is an extremely hard worker who does the intangible things you need done on the floor in addition to being able to score."
Lesha Dunn (Toronto, Canada/Trinity Valley Community College) and Chelsea Jamison (Indianapolis, Ind./Broad Ripple) are the latest additions to Elliott's squad. Both will be immediately eligible for the Bearcats. Dunn, a 6-4 junior college transfer from Texas, averaged 6.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, in addition to 20 blocked shots in 24 contests last season. Her team went 31-2 and finished No. 3 in the nation. She hails from the same community college as former Bearcat Shareese Ulis.
Jamison is a three-year varsity starter who is the ninth-leading scorer in Broad Ripple High School girl's basketball history. A 5-10 guard, she holds the top spot for points scored in a single game (43) at Broad Ripple, while being named the 2011 MVP at the Eric Gordon All-Star Super Shootout. A member of The Family Inc. AAU program, Jamison made First Team All-City after leading her team in points (17.5 ppg), assists and rebounds (10.5 rpg) last season.
The duo joins a pair of early signees in Talequia Hamilton (Huntington, W. Va./Huntington) and Alyesha Lovett (Newark, N.J./Malcom X. Shabazz) to round out Elliott's third recruiting class.

Have you tried using ssh from another computer to access the headless RPi? (PuTTY is a good ssh client if you are running MS Windows - http://www.putty.org/)

You can boot any linux live cd on your PC, mount root partition from SD card and edit configuration. Or you can find out what ip your Pi got in your DHCP log and connect to it using ssh.

Listen to an Unreleased Billy Corgan/Sky Saxon Song, "Choose to Choose Love"
Before garage rocking cult hero and Seeds singer Sky Saxon passed away last Thursday, he wrote and recorded a duet with friend and fellow psychedelic thinker Billy Corgan called "Choose to Choose Love". And now the hippie jam-- featuring Corgan on backup vocals-- is currently available on a new Facebook page dedicated to the late artist. You can read the lyrics here.
In a recent blog post, Corgan had this to say about Saxon: "Sky lived everyday with the concept of LOVE as his guide, and he walked the talk. He was a spiritual warrior who would tell me that Yahowha knew the beauty of our hearts, and that musicians were the living prophets of the world."

Yes, you are ridiculous. Blame, blame, blame, blame, BLAME. That's all you liberals can do. IT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE DENTIST FOR YOUR DAMN PROBLEM!!!!
#149 Jul 13, 2012
Maybe they will have a dentist at Best Buy, while you are shopping for that 60" Flat screen TV and latest laptop that you somehow can afford. People can afford dentistry, they just don't want to pay for it.
Cigarettes, beer, quarterly cell phone upgrades, beach trips, and nose rings are just higher on the priority list.

It is obvious that the kool smiles system is an organized crime. They were once on the news alot for doing bad things to all of their patients, especially to children. I think they only changed their company name, hoping to continue this crime without getting caught. The FBI should investigate kool smiles immediately. We need to let the law handle it, and don't do anything hasty.

Wow, this whole thread is very interesting. I am a 17 year old who hated dentists more than anything else in the world because when I had braces, my ortho was just awful and made me hate dentists. When my braces were finally taken off 3 years ago, I never went to the dentist since. Now just last week my mom forced me to go, so of course I went. I dreaded the idea, but still... When I went, the first dentist told me I had buildup and that I needed some x-rays. The guy who took my x-rays was very kind and when he put that metal thing in my mouth, it hurt (because of wisdom teeth coming out) and he quickly took it out and asked me if I was ok and replied 'yeah.' he started again, and finished. The dentists were very kind to me and today I went to get a deep root clean or whatever and it went very well. In fact, I'm looking forward to my appointment in two weeks.
My younger brothers (aged 5 & 11) also go there and haven't had any complaints.

I tried Kool Smiles in Maryland and I thought it was terrible. I should have done more research before taking my child there. I called another dentist at the Pediatric Dental Center of Frederick in Frederick MD and talked to them. They do not restrain children and they were very pleasant to talk to. I have been there several times and they are amazing with kids. It's a busy place but very efficient.
#155 Aug 24, 2012
So many differing complaints my 3 boys have been Kool smiles patients for 3 years now they had more emotional damage done to them by the local clinic than Kool smiles. Any cavities mine needed filled were tried in office but if they couldn't calm down they were referred for sedation dentistry an hour away. They have never been restrained and I have always accompanied them back there. Siblings are not allowed back with them for procedures (anything more than a cleaning) and this is where most parents feel they can't go back, however my office has always allowed my other kids to sit with them behind the front desk and color or play in the waiting room.
I have only stopped them from working 1 time and that was when I felt enough was enough. The handful of other times they rescheduled for when my kids were a little older or referred out for sedation.

My experience happened 2 in half years and I find myself in tears everytime I even slightly think about it. My daughter was 1 and 2 monthes old. She went in for her 1 yr. Check up. First they put her in a room with a whole bunch of other kids, then when seen the denist never cleaned her teeth before saying this one needs caps. I had seen caps but honestly was clueless as to how they got there. X rays were done. They had me hold my child even after i told them I was pregnant and it took 10 min. Because they where busy talking about there work schedule. They never told me results or the precedure they were going to do and I trusted them. The worse the scene got the more I fell into disbelieve causing me to freeze up. They tied my 1 yr. Old daughter completely down, she started screaming. They handled her like a thing and not a being, let alone a baby. They then took there time as she screamed and then stabbed 4 needles into her gums. No sensitivity at all. She screamed and fought with all her might saying "its okay, its okay, ". Trying to sooth herself the way her daddy and I would when she gets hurts. She fought so hard her head fell off the table and the denist grabbed her by the lip to put her head back on the table. I couldn't breath I couldn't move, this couldnt really be happening. They man handled her, not once even spoke to her. Then when we walked out I ran with my daughter, got in the car and we both cryed horribly, she was rubbing my tears away and me hers. While my husband kept asking "what happen" since they didn't let him in. It was 30 min later before either of us began to calm down i could barely get the words out, but I finally told my husband. For so long I thought it was my fault, I was a horrible mom for letting it happen and for the cavities, I later learned she never had. I cried myself to sleep for monthes and my daughter was terrified of all and any kind of offices. We were in a bank once and when they called my name to go in my daughter threw herself on the floor, her body went cold and she shakes really bad while screaming bloody murder. We had to leave. She did this at the doctors, and even the medicaide office. She took a year before she stopped going into those terrors. My daughter stopped talking and I infact lost the baby girl I was pregnant with at the time of her appointment. We have not been to a denist since. I'm too scared to take her and she won't go. One day about 3 weeks ago we passed that kool smiles and she starting pointing and telling the office building off, and it hit me. My baby remembers and I broke into tears of anger towards them. Something has to be done. Our children need to know we r here to protect them. Where can I start? What can I do? Plz help

When my now 16 yr old started going to Look Smiles everything was fine at first. But after a few appointments they said that she had to have a filling. When they did that filling they had inject her with numbing stuff 3 times through the procedure because when they first injected her they left her for 20 minutes and then came back and started working her. After that they kept saying that she needed fillings done and every time they'd do them, the numbing stuff would wear off and they'd have to inject her again. Also few months after she chipped her tooth and they put a cap on it, and the cap started to come off. They didn't replace it, the just rubbed it smooth on the tooth. So after her having more than six fillings done, even though she brushes her teeth 2 a day and flosses, I switched her to a new dentist , where we found that one filling wasn't done right so a cavity had formed on top of the filled cavity. I don't think that she need all that dental work done. I felt sorry for her and I feel sorry for the other children that have been torture at Kool Smile just so that they can make more money

I went to koolsmile to get a tooth pulled. They pulled half of the tooth an left half of the tooth in an I had to go to another dentist to correct the problem. I called them an told them about what had happened. They just brushed me off.Im going to get together with a group of people an we are going to the news an picked in front of there business.
#164 Nov 26, 2012
i totally agree with you when u made the statement about if parents tortured their children the way Koolsmiles does,it would be CHILD ABUSE.I have seen some pretty horrific scenarios involving small helpless children being restrained while having needles drills and bite blocks placed in their mouths.I've witnessed 4 children who havr actually urinated from being so frightened.i will no longer be working for a company that abuses children to make a buck.so sad,and i am ashamed that i didn't do something sooner,but i have already contacted a Lawyer

Good For You!!!! you should have shoved the Film down the Dental Assistants throat!!!
#166 Nov 26, 2012
if i were you i would contact a lawyer.you told them you were pregnant and they took xrays with you in the room? Lawsuit! The fact that your child is that traumatized is horrible!!! Do something about it,and put a stop to the Koolsmiles Violence on innocent Children

While Norwegian police look into island shooter Anders Breivik's claims that he has links to two additional "cells," Interpol is investigating his claim that he is part of an international network dedicated to fighting an Islamic takeover of Europe. He claims he attended an organizing meeting in London. Interpol is taking the claim seriously enough that they've asked Scotland Yard for backup personnel to pursue the hunt. The Sydney Morning Herald of Australia reports some important details.
Interpol has asked Scotland Yard for more officers as it trawls through its database of known high-risk extremists, after Breivik boasted to police of links to far-right groups in Britain, including the English Defence League.British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered a review of all far-right groups and said the claims of accomplices were being taken seriously. …Breivik, who has admitted killing 76 people in a car bomb and shooting spree last week, claimed in an internet manifesto that he and other activists had met in London to set up a group called the Knights Templar - named after a military order from the time of the Crusades—to fight a perceived Islamic takeover of Europe. …London's Daily Telegraph reported an anonymous senior member of the EDL saying he believed Breivik had met the group's leaders when he visited Britain to hear right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders. "He is someone who can project himself very well, and I presume there would be those within the EDL who would be quite taken by that" …The EDL issued a statement condemning the killings, denying links with Breivik and insisting that it was a peaceful body that rejected extremism.
Glenn Beck, meanwhile, compared Breivik's victims at the Labor Party summer camp to "Hitler Youth." Read here and listen to the audio on Youtube:

For times when you just don't need to send a pocket folder or notebook,
try an eye-catching envelope. Maybe for grants, media releases, or a
special packet for your favorite collector.
I've been sending out my workshop proposals in these fabulous presentation envelopes from Paper Source. They're somewhat pricey ($7.50 for five), but I don't need to use a folder inside. Who likes keeping two-pocket folders anyway? They won't fit in file drawers and seem like a huge waste of money. I put my new ArtBizCoach.com logo on the label and it looks like a jewel amid the other mail.
I just sent one to Washington state and the recipient immediately sent me an email telling me how cool it was. She said even the postmaster commented on it!
Paper Source is one of my favorite sources for good-quality paper supplies. The presentation envelope is from their P.S. Collection.

Deploying Next Generation Multicast-Enabled Applications: Label Switched Multicast for MPLS VPNs, VPLS, and Wholesale Ethernet provides a comprehensive discussion of Multicast and MVPN standards—next-generation Multicast-based standards, Multicast Applications, and case studies with detailed configurations. Focusing on three vendors—Juniper, Cisco, and Alcatel-Lucent—the text features illustrations that contain configurations of JUNOS, TiMOS (Alcatel's OS), or Cisco IOS, and each configuration is explained in great detail. Multiple- rather than single-vendor configurations were selected for the sake of diversity as well as to highlight the direction in which the overall industry is going rather than that of a specific vendor. Beginning with a discussion of the building blocks or basics of IP Multicast, the book then details applications and emerging trends, including vendor adoptions, as well as the future of Multicast. The book is written for engineers, technical managers, and visionaries engaged in the development of next-generation IP Multicast infrastructures.

Lukoil Jumps for Best Rally in 7 Months on Output: Moscow Mover
OAO Lukoil rose for its longest winning streak since August on optimism Russia's second-biggest oil producer will boost output and dividends.
Lukoil gained 0.2 percent to 2,013 rubles by the close in Moscow, after adding as much as 2.7 percent earlier, the highest intraday level since April 2011 and a fifth day of gains. The number of shares traded was 1.8 million, equivalent to about two times the three-month average.
Lukoil will invest more than $16 billion this year to lift output by 18 percent by the end of 2015, Chief Executive Officer Vagit Alekperov said March 7. Lukoil will consider boosting dividend payout ratios from next year when investment demands ease, Alekperov said. The Moscow-based company will distribute 23 percent of net income in 2012 and is looking to boost shareholder payments to 30 percent of profit in the medium term, he said.
"Lukoil is the most attractive name in the Russian oil and gas sector now," Alexei Kokin, an analyst at UralSib Financial Corp., said by phone from Moscow. "It showed a great performance, solid cash generation in the fourth quarter, higher than expected dividends."
Lukoil will rise to 2,552.48 rubles in the next year, according to the average of 21 analyst price targets compiled by Bloomberg.

UPDATE: 9 indicted in Colorado in synthetic drug crackdown
DENVER - Nine people have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Denver as part of a national crackdown on synthetic marijuana.
Federal and state officials said Wednesday that the suspects are linked with a company called Heart of Asia that distributed the drug to smoke shops in several states. It's owned by John Gilbert Owen, of Las Vegas, who was among those arrested under the indictment starting Wednesday morning. It's not clear where he was being held or if he has a lawyer.
Investigators say the business sold to shops in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Alaska, Ohio, Georgia and Illinois as well Colorado.
While real marijuana is legal in Colorado, synthetic pot is not.
An official who spoke at Wednesday's press conference said more than 200 people have been hospitalized in Colorado because of spice. It also linked to three deaths in the state.
Stephane Colbert said her son Nicholas Colbert's life was cut short because of spice.
"Kids are, the ones that pass before us, they are in a better place. But those that are left behind are the ones that have to pick up the pieces," said Stephane Colbert.
Stephane Colbert believes her 19-year-old son bought spice from Kwik Stop on South Chelton. She is currently in a lawsuit with the convenience store.
Gordon Walker's 19-year-old son Joshua Walker was put in a two-week coma because of spice. He pulled through, but it was a trying time for Gordon Walker.
"Being in there, watching him laying there in that bed ... That hurt," said Walker.
Spice was outlawed in Colorado in 2011. It didn't stop gas stations and convenience stores from selling it.
Colorado Springs police say 69.28 grams of suspected spice was seized, along with $578 cash from B Street Smoke Shop on B Street in El Paso County in October.
That same month the Drug Enforcement Administration seized 156 pounds of spice from Spice of Life on South Academy.
Police seized 96 grams of synthetic marijuana from Qwik Way store off Lake Avenue in Fountain. The owner of the convenience store, Kong Hoon Kim, told KRDO NewsChannel he didn't know the drug was illegal.
"They think I am some kind of big dealer, mafia, something like that. I'm not," said Kim.
Law enforcement that spoke at Wednesday's press conference emphasized that absolutely no brand of spice is safe. Also, no spice products have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
According to a press release following the press conference, defendants face charges ranging from conspiracy to defraud the United States and violate the Controlled Substances Act to distribution and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Penalties range from not more than five years in federal prison up to not more than 20 years in federal prison, depending on the nature of the charge.

Kotoko striker Bancey likely to partner Boateng upfront against Ethiopia
Kotoko striker Seidu Bancey could start against Ethiopia on Tuesday after duo Yahaya Mohammed and Sulley Mohammed were ruled out.
Yahaya is suspended for the clash after picking up accumulated yellow card while Sulley has failed to recover after picking a knock during the 1-1 draw against Libya last Friday.
The absence of the two strikers means the Asante Kotoko striker could be drafted in to partner Kennedy Boateng in front of goal.
The Black Stars are desperate to top the group and stay in Bloemfontein for their quarter-final clash.
The Ghanaians will take on rock-bottom Ethiopia in the last group C game on Tuesday keen to win by a higher scoreline to leapfrog Libya at the top.
The Libyans will tackle Congo in the other game which will be played simultaneously in the ongoing CHAN tournament.

Rubicon Project Buys Others Online in Audience Data PlayRob Hof
There's an emerging trend in online advertising that I only flicked at in an article last February on ad networks: As data about people's online activities grows, it's allowing advertisers to start targeting those people directly, not just run display ads on Web sites prospective buyers might frequent or buy ads on search results pages they hope will draw clicks. Privacy concerns aside for the moment, the key not only for advertisers but publishers is to find the right data—and right now, that's scattered among a huge number of players, in particular data brokers such as Blue Kai, Exelate, and AlmondNet.
With today's acquisition of Others Online, Rubicon Project aims to provide its publisher customers a way to find the best data on audience segments from among all those data providers. Others Online, which apparently started out several years ago as a social network play, offers several audience data-related services—in particular an "affinity scoring" service that determines how strongly a person is interested in particular brands, products or topics.
Rubicon, which helps online publishers run the most lucrative ads from among hundreds of ad networks, views Others Online as a new data layer that will help publishers get higher ad rates. Not least, Rubicon CEO Frank Addante thinks it's another step toward challenging the contextual display and search ads that dominate online advertising today. He reckons that those proxies for consumer interest could wane in favor of ads aimed at actual groups of people who have demonstrated their interests by their online behavior.
Jordan Mitchell, founder and CEO of Others Online, will become Rubicon's vice president of data intelligence. Addante wouldn't reveal the purchase price. Rubicon, which launched in 2007, has raised $34 million, most recently a $5 million Series C round.
As for privacy, such profiling no doubt will further raise the hackles of privacy hawks, which have been getting more vocal in their concerns about behavioral targeting. For his part, Addante thinks the fear of government regulation is worse than whatever regulations ultimately are adopted. For now, he thinks that fear is depressing investment in behavioral targeting just as fear of email regulation stunted email marketing a decade ago before the CAN-SPAM Act was enacted in 2003. Since then, he notes, email marketing has taken off.

|Jamar Burley
When Jamar Burley was just three, his eyes became puffy and his feet were painfully swollen. At first, his symptoms were attributed to seasonal allergies, but when Jamar stopped producing urine, his mother, Sanovia Thompson was alarmed.
When testing revealed potential kidney problems, Jamar was referred to pediatric nephrologist Rob Holleman M.D., who diagnosed Jamar's condition as nephrotic syndrome. "Jamar carries up to 30 pounds of extra fluid at times and his body can't pass it," says Sanovia.
"Nephrotic syndrome is a condition where the kidneys leak excessive amounts of protein into the urine. This leads to a fall in the blood protein level, which then causes the swelling that patients and families notice," says Dr. Holleman. "The most common cause of this condition in children is 'minimal change' disease. Nephrotic syndrome typically is treated with steroids and it is the patient's response to this treatment that dictates the long-term prognosis."
"The condition is known to relapse in the majority of cases, with many patients experiencing two to three relapses a year," says Dr. Holleman. "The ultimate outcome with steroid responsive nephrotic syndrome is good as most kids go into permanent remission eventually. Jamar's case has been particularly challenging as he stopped responding to traditional doses of steroid. With more intensive therapy, however, he is back in remission," adds Dr. Holleman.
Jamar has become especially close to the Child Life staff at Children's Hospital. "He just loves Miss Christy. All of the Child Life specialists make him feel like he is part of the family," says Sanovia. "They even keep in touch with Jamar when he is at home."

Under rating threshold (hideshow) "now finish every level with a limited amount of moves" - lol, nope

Under rating threshold (hideshow) I like how the incomprehensibility of the layout mixes with the unpredictability of door-affecting doors to give you the experience of a headless chicken in a road block factory.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) This game needs a sequel with a second box so the first opens dors for the second >:D

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Quite certain that there are other level you can f*** up. Most are repairable though.
Dec. 10, 2015
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Im not sure, but I think lvl 25 is the only one where you have to reset eventually. On the others you can "repair" your mistakes.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) What jackwagon architect designed these blueprints? Find him. Find him, and fire him.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) NM. I got it now. Thanks for the tip. Now if only I could figure out level 9...
Jan. 28, 2015
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Are we playing the same version, TC? Either I obviously don't understand what you mean or the programmer updated level 8 after you posted your comment to make your solution no longer work... or any solution at all that I can find.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Is it just me or is the game super laggy?
May. 17, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) I find it interesting that people say 8 is very hard. I found it extremely easy. 12 was where I had the most trouble. I spent way too much time on that one. probably a half hour or so at least. Level 8 you just need to go around the outside, then go to right beneath the x, then go back around the middle track. It is very simple if you understand what I mean.
Apr. 14, 2014
Under rating threshold (hideshow) The hardest part of this is that there is not a visual way to tell which ways a door can be opened, besides that, this seems great so far ....I don't know what people are saying about lvl 8 lol, it is trickier than the earlier levels, but I kinda bumbled through it without noticing any devious difficulty increase.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Found 13 and 15 are a bit harder than the others. You have to start 13 the right way or you lock the path. 15 you have to go back and reset the one triple door like 5 times so you can go clockwise through the whole thing over and over.

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Why the 15th level is the hardest one? Shouldn't it be the last one... ;)
May. 30, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) @gkumbredood Exactly what I thought the first time I played it. This kind of puzzle has been around for a while actually, so I wouldn't exactly say that's what inspired it, but it'd be cool if it was since Winona's gym was pretty awesome.
May. 27, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Why does this remind me of pokemon? Oh yeah... WINONA.

May. 9, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) Wait... The finishing badge is ONLY a hard not impossible... 5/5

Under rating threshold (hideshow) Game is challenging and i had problems with lvls 15 and 25 the rest were easy. Good game 3/5
Feb. 5, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) At the end of level 19 I button mashed and won! :3
Jan. 10, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) stuck on level 8, I'm getting dizzy just going around and around...
Jan. 7, 2012
Jan. 1, 2012
Under rating threshold (hideshow) "Yay, I win!" *pause, read* "Oh, that's cool, to include a limited moves mode afterwards, but I'm glad it's not involved in the hard badge. But, in all honesty, who the f*** do you think would actually play the limited moves mode on this F***ING game?!?" Having completed it, it's definitely 5/5, though. A tip: If you get stuck, either leave & come back at the beginning, or restart the puzzle. Leaving will be more helpful, but just restarting can do it.

Banana Bundt Cake (aka Gugelhupf)
It's been a while that I had a brush in my hand. Or blogged here. I have overused my arms at both home, painting, and at work, typing and handling stacks and stacks of paper. So, I have been taking it easy during the past few weeks, and will need to continue to do so.
Yesterday was the first time I did a watercolor sketch again in a long time (it felt rather wobbly).
Here it is, with the corresponding recipe!

Every once in a while, I just like to get out there and sketch what is right in front of me while birds are chirping all over and the rain is still dripping off the leaves.

Hello folks, it's been a while! I've been neglecting this blog. In fact, I might continue to do so.
In the meantime, here's a sketch:

Sketching at the museum
Every first Saturday of the month (as we happily found out), the admission to the Museum zu Allerheiligen in SH is free. Perfect for a monthly sketchout in these icy cold temperatures!
At the Manora restaurant, waiting for the museum to open.
The ideal female form according to people from Oaxaca, Mexico, 1st cent. BC - 2nd cent. AD.
Urn from Colombia, 10-15th cent. BC.
We then proceeded to the next kebab & falafel take out for something warm.

Facebook Ruins Our Memories
I wish I could be alive for my funeral. The narcissist in me wants to watch a bunch of people to celebrate the wonderful person I was, preferably while a slide show of my greatest achievements plays alongside Madonna's "Like a Prayer."
And then Facebook presented a simpler solution. In celebration of its 10th anniversary, the social network rolled out "look back" videos, compilations of every user's most-liked photos and life events paired with inspirational music. I thought my montage would evoke pride and nostalgia. Instead, I felt a special kind of sadness.
Turns out viewing sideways photos you don't remember taking while sitting at your desk, alone, stuffing your face with rice crackers, lacks the epic quality of my funeral fantasy.
Facebook provides a seductive substitute for the kind of remembering we should do in the physical presence of others. But the digital proxy will always feel hollow. Screens protect us from the messiness of human emotion, yet it's only by allowing ourselves to feel vulnerable that we experience anything meaningful.
Trend pieces have hypothesized that Facebook killed the high school reunion. Why actually see Monica, whom you found incredibly awkward in Grade 10 science class, when you already know from her Facebook page that she works for an ad agency, has a bratty-looking kid and is married to a banker.
While there's a good case to be made that your high-school reunion is worth skipping (although Romy and Michele provide the eternal counterpoint), no one should mistake clicking on profiles for the real deal. As a fellow alumnus so eloquently put it: "saying keeping up on Facebook is the same as seeing people is like saying you're really good at sex from all the porn you watch."
Zuckerberg's baby excels at piecemeal documentation. See something beautiful on a hike? Snap a photo for your wall. Feel a feeling? Make it your status. These snippets aren't meaningless, but they don't convey the depth of someone's personality. Monica's profile isn't going to reverse your decade-old impression of her. But having a beer together might.
And what about all the people you would never think to add on Facebook? The high school group dynamic is impossible to recreate virtually, and it's the best part of a reunion. Teen you is like a piece of cake that's frozen in time and can be magically defrosted in certain company. When I escorted my dad to his 35th reunion almost two decades ago, within hours he and his friends were calling each other by their old nicknames ("bear" and "maniac" come to mind). Nostalgia like that isn't accessible from a desk chair.
An even more important tradition than high school reunions is funerals to remember the dead. For grievers, physical touch releases feel-good chemicals like oxytocin and opioids. Religious gatherings like shivas and wakes create a community to support the bereaved as they accept a new reality. The ceremony pays respect to a life.
But death makes us feel awkward and armchair support is convenient armour. Bruce Feiler wrote in the New York Times that "in a world in which so much communication happens online, the balming effect of a face-to-face gathering can feel even more magnified." Facebook makes it easy to circumvent the hard work of remembering a person's life. On memorial pages, people can post memories of the deceased. Today, many hear of and respond to news of a death through Facebook.
That's what I did after reading a high-school friend's Facebook status about her father's death. We hadn't spoken in a while. I sent her a private message. When I learned the funeral details, anxieties immediately popped up: Would my presence be awkward? Presumptuous? Uncomfortable? (I can only imagine the anxieties she must have felt at the prospect of greeting people when she likely wanted to crumple in a ball).
But I went anyway, because the significance of actually being there cannot be overstated. To this day, my grandfather asks about a childhood friend of mine because he was so touched she came to my grandmother's wake more than 10 years ago.
When watching my Facebook "look back" I was reminded of the 90th birthday party my mom and I threw for my grandfather a few years ago. We made a slide show of photographs and wrote speeches. Before people arrived, I wanted to pee myself. I was so worried about being judged for our sentimentality that I wanted to disappear.
But when I saw the pride on my grandfather's face as the pictures rolled, surrounded by people who loved him, I knew we had done a good thing.
When Facebook can re-create that feeling, we'll never have to gather in-person again. But until then, I hope to see you at my funeral.
*This article previously appeared in the Ottawa Citizen.
This mommy controversy has long plagued Facebook, as the company states there can be no nudity in its terms of service. But parents argue there's a line between "inappropriate" and "legitimate" images. Emma Kwasnica is a breastfeeding advocate who often posts pictures of herself nursing, and as a result, her account has been suspended five times. Kwasnica and other mothers even protested the issue at Facebook headquarters during National Breastfeeding Week.
Apparently there can be only one Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook. According to PC Mag, in 2011 Mark S. Zuckerberg was kicked off Facebook because of "identity fraud." But this lawyer from Indiana had other Facebook woes before his restricted account: Because of the similarity of his name to the ever-fascinating CEO, S. Zuckerberg was receiving nearly 500 friend request a day. Eventually, after making a few headlines, Facebook apologized and the lawyer regained access to his account.
Selena Gomez was recently banned from Facebook. But it wasn't the Disney superstar who's been prohibited from uploading her latest pics; it was just a regular girl, TMZ reported. One day Selena Miranda Gomez from New Mexico attempted to access her Facebook account and found she was unable to log in because the social networking site believed she was impersonating the actress, which is against the company's policy. At the time of publication, it was not clear whether Gomez's account had been reactivated.
Salman Rushdie, who penned titles like Midnight's Children and The Satanic Verses, had his Facebook account suspended in 2011 because of what Facebook perceived to be a name discrepancy. While Rushdie's first name is Ahmed, the world knows him by his middle name, Salman. The social network told the author that he wold have to use his first name on his profile. "Dear #Facebook, forcing me to change my FB name from Salman to Ahmed Rushdie is like forcing J. Edgar to become John Hoover," Rushdie sounded off on his twitter account following the incident. Facebook later restored his profile.
Operation Payback was a plot from the infamous hacker group Anonymous to take down Visa's website after the credit card company cut off donations to Wikileaks. Hackers gathered on both Facebook and Twitter to plan and promote an attack, causing their accounts to be suspended on the social networking sites, according to ZDNet.
Lauren Ferrari was banned from Facebook for seven days after she posted a photo of her 5-year-old pretending to nurse her younger sibling. While Ferrari didn't think much of the image when she uploaded it, both Facebook and the police found the photo to be problematic. The Seattle Police Department said her actions showed "poor parenting," which sparked an online controversy about what should and should not be put online.
Adam Guerbuez was fined $873 million after sending out more than 4 million spam messages about penis-enlargements, porn and marijuana, according to PC World. This behavior got Guerbuez kicked off of Facebook and caused him to file for bankruptcy in 2010.
In 2011 Facebook's chief privacy adviser said that an average of 20,000 underage Facebook user accounts are shut down each day. The social networking site has a strict policy stating that only those over the age of 13 are allowed to maintain a personal profile.
"Hello, Our systems indicate that you've been highly active on Facebook lately and viewing pages at a quick enough rate that we suspect you may be running an automated script." How would you like to get that email from Facebook? That's exactly what happen to tech-blogger Robert Scoble. Apparently he had added an address book importer to his Facebook account, but any additional script whatsoever just doesn't fly with this social media site. His account was restored after he "made a public stink" about the ordeal online.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"What does (K1. Inc 1 st in next st.) mean? I think st means stitch, but I don't understand how to do what it says. Thank you "
"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

All this urgency was caused by one thing; we didn't want to cycle into Dunedin! It's another city big enough to have a motorway going in, enough streets to get lost in and more than enough cars, trucks and buses to squash unaccustomed peddlers.
So we caught the Oamaru to Dunedin Shuttle, a big mini bus driven by a tartan hat wearing Bruce and frequented by us and a number of persons of advancing years.
We arrived in Dunedin a easy couple of hours later but probably having missed entertaining signs, nice view stops and other magic cycling moments and without that smug feeling on arrival at the hostel. We were though quiet content with our method of arrival - plenty more roads to cycle ahead.
The rest of the day was spent on practical things, the highlight of which was getting my new bank card, not often a high point in life but this was truly remarkable. In the bank it went like this;
"I've scratched my Eftpos (cash) card, so its does work can I have another one?" I said
"Do you have some ID?" said the cashier
"Yes" I handed over my driving license for her to study.
"OK, one moment" She said, went to a draw got a card out, entered its details on the computer, I then set my pin on a separate machine and she said
"Is that all for today?"
"Yes, Thank you" I replied.
Under 10mins in total, simple, access to money once more. I think UK banking may want to take note, I like security but actually being able to access you money is also a good thing!

In 1975 Clifford Glenwood Shull was elected to membership in the National Academy of Science. He had earlier, 1956, been admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and would in 1994 be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. These and other honors were in recognition of his pioneering accomplishments in the development of neutron scattering techniques for atomic and magnetic structure determination. The Nobel Prize was awarded 50 years after the beginning of his discoveries and 15 years after he had retired as an emeritus professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). As a consequence, in this case, the scientific community had ample time to see the ramifications of his achievements. In the interim period between 1946 and 1994, several other Nobel Prizes had been awarded to individuals for discoveries or predictions verified partially through the use of neutron scattering methods. The long overdue award, however, was not something that Cliff aspired to receiving. The achievements of past winners are so phenomenal, it s beyond one s scope to think of being in that class. I certainly had no feelings of delusion about joining such people, expressed Cliff to videographers for the Nobel Foundation just after announcement of his selection as one of the 1994 recipients.1 Cliff s humility was a personality trait that governed the way he approached science, and it was a characteristic which set him apart from others.2 One of his great sorrows was that Ernest Wollan, a colleague who pioneered the development of neutron scattering with him in the early years, was not alive in 1994 to share in the Nobel Prize with him.3
