Hollywood Park notes: Valenzuela eyes return at Del Mar
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Jockey Patrick Valenzuela said on Thursday that he hopes to return to riding this summer at Del Mar after an eight-month absence caused by knee problems.
Valenzuela said he plans to meet with a doctor on Friday, seeking clearance to resume exercising horses. He said he underwent surgery in March to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
"On July 5, I'll find out if I can be released or not," Valenzuela said at Betfair Hollywood Park. "I'm hoping."
Valenzuela said he doubted he would be ready to ride for Del Mar's opening day, July 17, but said he wants to ride most of the meeting, which continues through Sept. 4.
"Maybe not opening day, but I hope it won't take me long to get the fitness I need," he said.
Valenzuela, 50, has not ridden since Nov. 16, 2012. His last winner was Merit Man in the Tim Conway Stakes at Santa Anita last October.
Known for winning the 1989 Kentucky Derby on Sunday Silence but also battling substance abuse problems in his 35-year career, Valenzuela had 9 wins from 129 mounts in 2012. By comparison, he won 146 races from 933 mounts in 2010, and 113 races from 795 mounts in 2011. He has 4,342 wins lifetime and nearly $165 million in purse earnings.
Valenzuela was the regular rider of Acclamation, the champion older male of 2011.
Stewards meet with Tyler Baze
Jockey Tyler Baze is expected to learn in coming days the sanctions he faces for failing an alcohol test on June 13.
Baze, who has not ridden since June 9, met with Hollywood Park stewards Scott Chaney, Kim Sawyer, and Tom Ward in a hearing on Thursday. The stewards had not issued a ruling on Baze's case as of Friday morning, but may do so this weekend.
Baze faces a likely suspension for failing the alcohol test, a violation of the terms of a conditional license issued last September after the jockey missed more than a year of riding for failing to take a Breathalyzer test at Del Mar in September, 2011.
On June 13, Baze said in an interview that he had consumed beer on the preceding day while on a fishing trip with friends. He took responsibility for his actions, describing the situation as "pretty devastating."
The winner of the Eclipse Award as the nation's outstanding apprentice jockey of 2000, Baze was taken off his mounts at a time when he was in contention for leading rider at the current spring-summer meeting.
Under the terms of his conditional license, Baze is subject to frequent drug testing, must check in with racing board investigators on a daily basis, and is subject to random breath and urine tests.
Kerlan doesn't fill
Sunday's $70,000 Robert Kerlan Handicap for turf sprinters was canceled because of insufficient entries.
The race was scheduled for six furlongs on turf. One horse who had been pointed for the Kerlan for several weeks was Chips All In, the winner of the Grade 3 San Simeon Handicap at Santa Anita in April.
Chips All In is trained by Jeff Mullins, who expressed frustration on Thursday at the cancellation of the Kerlan. He considered the race a prep for the $90,000 Wickerr Stakes at Del Mar on July 24. Mullins said he was not sure what approach he would take to Chips All In's summer campaign.
It's a crying shame that Jockeys succumb to the use of illegal drugs and alcohol abuse, but going in, they know where the temptations may take them. Tyler Baze, in my opinion, one of the greatest natural talents ever to ride a race horse, is the perfect example of someone who has seen the devastation these drugs can do, in his own family and friends, and still can't find the internal strength to stay away from the poison fruit. PVal is the epitome of someone who has lost all right to pursue race riding. These guys, when under the influence of these mind altering drugs, are a menace to their fellow Jockeys and the horses in the races in which they ride. Pval should not have another chance and Tyler should be given a final chance, with no variances. That said, how dumb is he? With a ton of talent as a jockey, and the ability to make millions, he wants to be a salad chef!!!!!
lots of us players miss you bad and we would like to keep it that way.
They don't have 5-6 head to fill a grass stake going short?
Valenzuela is terrible for this sport. He has make a mockery of rules and regulations many times over. He should have been banned from this sport years ago. No one has ever gotten away with as much as he has. He is an embarrassment and so are those who keep allowing him to return.
Baze doesn't need the friends he had on the fishing trip. Hang around the barber shop long enough and eventually you will get a hair cut.
Freedom of speech is a right we should never give up. But it seems "Jon" would like it abolished. PVal has a knee problem & is trying to make it better in order to ride. Not sure why there is any negativity here? He did nothing wrong except get injured. Give the man a break!
Forgot to add to my last post, yes there are some very good regular posters here on this site, but, they are many negative or poster who have hate against another human that they do even know their character(like last week it was Garrett). Maybe DRF needs a moderator.
I try to avoid posting on this site and the main reason is that most of them appear to be losers who made a bad bet and were beaten by a better horse either ridden or trained by jocks or trainer and they grew to hate them, if one loses he/she should look to find the error or excuse a horse had to not win the race or they are simply kids. In the last few months it was Baffert and now PV. Yes PV had some problems like some others, but these jocks problems are multiplied by trying to maintain a weight of 115 lbs or lower(I remember once Dwayne Lucas has said that he sat next to Pincay on a flight and Pincay had used a fork and a knife to split a pea and a piece of peanut and that was going to be his dinner). Just imagine how bad it is if a jock consumes 1 beer (a light beer) on his day off. Can't a human being be allowed to do that? This is almost inhuman. This is why my main gripe with racing in the US is that they need to increase the weights a horse can carry (it would not hurt a strong 1000 lb animal to carry 10 lbs more like they do in Europe and if this carries on (because the size of humans is increasing) we will only see jockeys from Mex. or Central or South America and when they start to get too big maybe we will need to find Asian jockeys. Getting back to PV, he has served his time for whatever problem he had(and the good thing about it is he is not denier) and has come back well with some glimpse of the old PV we know & now he had physical problems & he has taken care of(which most of these posters would not be able to do anything at his current age) and the most important thing is the CHRB is allowing him to ride, now all he has to prove is to the trainers so that he can get some mounts so that he can prove all these hate posters her wrong.
Not sure where all the negative for PVal comes from? His latest story Is health related ONLY. He had an ACL problem & is working on getting it good enough to ride. GO PVal! You can come back at Del Mar and still be one of the best!! I'm pulling for you! I just hope Garrett Gomez stays away its been great to see him GOne!

Ghana's assistant coach Maxwell Konadu scouts on Leicester City star Jefferey Schlupp - report
By Ameenu Shardow
Follow on Twitter @alooameenu
Ghana's assistant coach Maxwell Konadu was in the stands to monitor the performance of Jeffery Schlupp in Leicester City's 1-1 draw with Yeovil Town in the English Championship on Tuesday.
The 21-year-old who has been regular for the Foxes' impressive campaign this term was voted the Man-of-the-Match on the day.
Leicester remain in pole position to win automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Black Stars assistant coach Maxwell Konadu who is in the UK with coach Kwesi Appiah to primarily hold interactions with colleagues at Liverpool FC was spotted in the stands at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday, according to Kumasi-based radio station Metro FM.
Konadu therefore took the opportunity to assess at first hand the performance of the young Ghanaian attacker who has been talked off a lot in the English second tier.
Schlupp despite scoring one league goal in 22 appearances is being raved about a lot for his complete performance especially when playing as the lone man upfront.
The Black Stars technical team are still in the process of assembling their squad for June's World Cup in Brazil.
Coack Kwesi Appiah is expected to name a provisional squad early next month before eventually pruning down the side to the required 23 for the tournament.

keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 04:16 pmSelfmade at the afcon 2012 mohammed abu wasnt a left back but rather masahudu alhassan currently on loan to latina from udinese calcio He played all the matches at left back. The only game he was benched was against zambia in the semi when lee addy currently with croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb Replaced. Mohammed abu played only one game at the afcon against botswana. Come again my beloved brother.
keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 04:19 pmI know they will suprise(schlupp and baba rahman.
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:20 pm@ Keith... Mohammed Abu played against Botswana in the first match and then player against Mali as a left back in the group stage!! Go and watch the video again
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:22 pmAgainst Botswana, Mohammed Abu was the makeshift left back as we didn't have any natural left foot is player for that position!! He also played against Mali in the third- fourth match as a midfielder!! Go and watch the video again!!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:29 pm@ Keith... We don't even have any problematic left back!! We have problematic central defensive pair!! Have u seen how many players that we have tried at that position with no success!! Modern day lateral defenders initiates attack from the back and THEY NEED GOOD DEFENSIVE COVERS when they moved to attack and that's what Ghana don't get!! There is no lateral full backs that can intiates attack from the back and then recover on time to defend!! There is no such players and even the likes of dunga and Carlos weren't like that!!! The main duties of a modern day full backs is to attack from the back and the DUTIES OF THE CENTRAL BACKS IS TO DEFEND FOR THEM when they make the move!! Ghana has modern day full backs who can attack but we llack proper central defensive pairs to cover them!!! Period!!! We ll try and try and try different players for the same positions and we going to have the same old results until we solve our CENTRAL DEFENSIVE PROBLEMS!!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:38 pmBaba rahman was poor defensively in the under 20 tournament in turkey!! I want anyone to prove me wrong!! He was exposed on so many occasions even in the under 20 WC and how much more the WC!! He was decent when making the run from the back but was so slow in recovery and that's what am saying all along!! Ghana conceded a lot if goals in the under 20s becasus we had a poor defensive pair to cover for nketiah and rahman when they attack!! This is the same problem we have at the bs!!! Am telling forumites that unless we have a GOOD DEFENSIVE PAIRS who can cover for our lateral full backs when they are on the move, WE LL CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS TRY AND ERROR!! I want anybody to challenge me on this!!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:41 pmSchlupp ll be GREAT when attacking but ll be EXPOSED when defending and I want people to mark THIS DAY!!! It ll be the same old problem with schlupp like with the other players BECASUE OF WEAK CENTRAL DEFENSIVE PAIR!!
keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 04:42 pmSelf made the player who played left back against botswana was masawhudu alhassan. Against mali in the grouo stage it was also masahudu alhassan who played at left back. When asamoah gyan scored that freekick goal and they were celebrating mohammed abu was wearing the reserve bieb. I repeat mohammed abu dindt start the game against malu in the group stage but rather masahudu alhassan. During that time he was with fc Genoain the italuan serie a. Pls check it out

Forward Cheick Diabate scored both goals for the Eagles as defender Isaac Vorsah saw red for a second bookable offence as the Black Stars ended the match with 10 men. The game started with vigour as both teams searched for an early hold on the encounter. Jordan Ayew, who started upfront for Ghana in place of Asamoah Gyan, had the first opportunity on 21 minutes, but his shot from the edge of the box was held by Oumar Sissoko. DON'T MISS Africa Cup of Nations Final - Betting PreviewPreview: Zambia - Cote d'Ivoire UK charity helps Zambia to Afcon finalCaf announces delay for 2012 Afcon final The Malians took the lead two minutes later when Diabate scored from close range after Adam Kwarasey had spilled a resulting shot off a corner kick. It was the Bordeaux striker who reacted quickest ahead of Vorsah and Jonathan Mensah to put the ball past the goalkeeper. The game then went into slumber as both teams could not secure the upper hand as tension began to soar. Jordan Ayew received a yellow card for his challenge on Samba Sow as the game seemed to turn into a brawl. Mali missed an opportunity to double their lead when Samba Diakite's shot was kept out by Kwarasey. Diakite had dispossessed two Ghanaian defenders before seeing his shot saved. A few moments later, the younger Ayew brother once again tested Sissoko with a snap-shot, but his attempt was saved by the goalkeeper. Vorsah earned his first yellow card for a challenge on Diabate before the end of the first period. The Ghanaians then rang in the changes as they searched for an equaliser. Prince Tagoe and Sulley Muntari came on for Samuel Inkoom and Mohammed Abu as the pace in attack quickened. Muntari saw a goal disallowed for offside on 53 minutes before Vorsah got himself into trouble for a high boot and was sent off as a result of his second yellow card offence. The Ghanaians fought back but attempts to run through the Malian defence by Andre Ayew were frustrated as the Eagles began to dominate the game. Their dominance was rewarded on 80 minutes when full-back Adama Tamboura's inch perfect cross from the left was tapped in by Diabate for the Eagles' second goal. With the victory, the Malians avenged their group stage loss to the Ghanaians as they secured their first Afcon medal since 1972, when they finished second.

keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 04:46 pmBro selfmade i know that abu is a midfielder but i cant bet my last euro that he never played at the tournament as left back. Ur are mistaken the names.it was masahudu alhassan who played left back but not mohammed abu who then was playing with norwegian side strömgodset. Check your facts with all due respect.
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:46 pm@ Keith... I have posted u the link about Mohammed Abu!! Goal.com!! He played in the last game against Mali as a midfielder!!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 04:55 pmAgain watch the videos of Ghana under 20 in turkey and see how baba rahman was slow in RECOVERING or defending esp when he lose possession!! This was the under 20s and how much more the WC! The WC is not a joke fellas!! I don't even blame him because that's what happens when u have a weak central defensive pairs!!! Affuls, opares etc don't have any problems as full backs but they lack proper support from the central pair when they initiates attack and I can bet anyone that schlupp or baba rahman ll be exposed big time just as afful or opare at the WC!! Mark this space!!
keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 05:00 pmI kno he played in the first game against botswana and the last game against mali but he never played as a left full back as u claimed.it was masahudu alhassan. Bro just admitt ur mistake for no one is perfect. U said he played as a left back which is not true.against botswana he came as a subtituite. It was masahudu alhassan who played left back.
maka says:March 26, 2014 05:05 pmWe have said this over and over again...n we hope that Konadu being in the stands mean they are listening. One thing coaches should know is that a person doesn't need to have played football or been on the filed to understand the game; and thanks to the internet, most fans can monitor games worldwide. We have mentioned that Schlupp must be looked at again...cos he is the BEST LEFTBACK we can have at the moment. Strong, fast, versatile...watch him and no coach with a seriously minded winning team will ignore him. Its either Schlupp or Nana Akwasi Asare. Afful/Opare and Inkoom ahould fight for the right full back slot ---in fact, even Essien can be slotted at that right full back slot! But for the left, it is Schlupp, Nana Asare or David Addy...and I will go for Schlupp and Nana Akwasi. The goalkeeping dept, it is Kwarasey for #1, Braimah #2 and the local goalkeeper number 3; if Dauda is included, then he should be number 3! So we actually have no problem..Ghana...its just that sometimes, our coaches are too nepotistic or just dumb to see the telling truth! SCHLUPP...SCHLUPP..SCHLUPP...! He must be at the world cup for real...and that's our left back problem solved! And if push comes to shove...he can add size to the striking dept...cos we have midgets who use speed, but sometimes, size matters! Beats me!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 05:10 pm@ Keith.... Masahudu alhassan was on the bench against Botswana!! Pantsil and Samuel inkoom were our lateral full backs!! Masahudu alhassan only started the group stage match against Mali where Ghana won 2 goals to nil thru gyan free kick and Dede maze goal!!
keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 05:14 pmYou cant take this under 20 team to judge a player because this was the worst under-20 team i have seen in recenr years. Players like baba mensah,lawrence lartey,amartey,ebenezer ofori,seidu salifu,richmond nketiah these are all average players that made the team looked ordinary. Bro selfmade here in germany i have a lot of coaches friends i disscuss soccer with. It is very wrong of u to say the central defenders must cover baba rahman or a right full back/left full back when he overlapps. Tactically that would be suicidal. When the defender overlaps the winger playing at the same wing must Calculate the situation and fall back when necessary.other than that the central midfielders must cover up. That is the main duty of a central midfielder. First to deliver the tailor measured pass as well as cover up for the wing backs whenever they are overlapping. The central defenders can cover up too but they also have the opponents strikers to take care of. At his german team Greuther fürth,baba rahman overlaps and come back with ease because the midfielders always are at bay. U cant take this under-20 team to judge him. He will be a plus for the team and there is no doubt about it.
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 05:27 pmMasahudu alhassan and Mohammed Abu all came in the second half from the bench so why u telling me that Mohammed Abu only played only one match? In the Botswana match, john MENSAH had a red card and so masawudu and Abu were brought in to alternate so where is the mistake bro! Masawudu didn't start as a left full back for Ghana against Botswana as inkoom was there!! Masawudu alhassan was on the bench!!! Both he and Abu came in the second half and they alternated because of john red card!! I HAVE MADE NO MISTAKE MATE!!
keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 05:29 pmSelfmade you corrected me .it was inkoom who started against botswana. But u got it wrong with mohammed abu starting both games bostwana and mali in the group stage. Thats why i said no one is perfect. U corrected me and i corrected you and at the end of the day we move on as brothers. Just for the love of the game. Case closed.
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 05:33 pm@keith... U wrong mate! If the main lateral full backs cannot defend how much more the wingers? Wingers falling back to defend is rather suicidal becasus it ll destroy the team shape!!! The only players to cover for the lateral defenders is the CENTRAL DEFENDERS!! When the full backs attacks, the central defenders cover up and police their areas for them!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 05:47 pm@ Keith.. No problem bro!! We have an awesome understanding of the game!! Keep it up!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 05:52 pm@ Keith... In 3-5-2 formation, there are no typical lateral defenders but rather the three backline defends and at the same time serves a masked lateral full backs which means that central defenders are the ones to cover a full backs but not wingers!! Again defensive midfielders police the centra midfield by either been a box to box or enforcers and hence COVERING FOR FULL BACKS means neglecting their central midfield roles creating a big space in the center of the field!! We all know what happens when opposition seize the midfield of its opponents!! The only players to cover full backs are 4 & 5 Period!! They move less and have time to police the defensive third!
real sabacious says:March 26, 2014 09:02 pmI'm happy that a step is been taken to draft schlupp in the team to Brazil, I have been following him all season and he is doing a good .His confidence level has been high after his trials with Manchester United. I keep saying that Afful, inkoom and opare will struggle to command a regular place with any of the top teams in the championship. It was the same Leicester paintsil was struggling to even make it to the bench 2 season ago. Schlupp is young and strong, He's among the next generation of the stars. Give the dude a chance to justify himself. No Somalia stature in Brazil, we need men to do the job 1
smokey says:March 26, 2014 12:44 pmHe's been playing left back all season
Benito says:March 26, 2014 01:01 pmI don't care what division a player plays in,if he is exceptional why not give him a chance to prove his worth by inviting him to b.stars
ghana is my land says:March 26, 2014 01:36 pmU are right Benito.we need help with our left back anyway.After I watch our last match with Zambia I think Opare doesnt deserve to be in the black stars right now.He needs time.
jb says:March 26, 2014 01:37 pmI think he is the best left back we got at the moment
Ken says:March 26, 2014 01:46 pmAgogo played in a much lower division than Jeffrey. Schlupp is a versatile player every coach would be happy to include in his squad - a defender/striker? JEFFREY SCHLUPP IS GOING TO BRAZIL 2014.
Richard says:March 26, 2014 02:27 pmPls pls this guy is very gd, av always said it give him a chance ooo tom tom
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 02:33 pmWe have to tone down and low expectations because I can bet my last dollar that should this guy get the call and flop, that ll be the end of his national team career!! We have precedent before whereby certain players were hyped and rushed into the national team but just one bad performance relegated them to the back burner!! Playing good and actively for club is different from playing for the national team!! There are so many great players who are doing great for their clubs but are a BIG FLOP for their countries and a typical eg is mess I!! Club football and national football are two different things!!! Appiah can call him but we need to tone down becasus those who knows don't talk!!! Alex techie mensah, razak brimah, Mohammed Abu, Kim grant are the few Ghanaians who were over hyped by Ghanaians but when they had their call ups, flop like something! AM WATCHING!!
selfmade says:March 26, 2014 03:02 pmMohammed Abu was also a wonderful prospect who was coming up during the 2012 afcon but he was drifted in as a left full back during the tournament and though- he had a decent outings in that position for Ghana, Ghanaians still wasn't satisfied with his performance and ever since has lost his place in the bs!! This is what am saying here!! People are making some ridiculous statement like he is going to be the solution to our left back position but remember that he is a striker and not a natural left back and he ll have a daunting task at the WC because he ll be in an unfamiliar territory due to the fact that it ll be his first time for the national team and I can see this guy having a lot of haters after the WC! Mark this space!!
Adebayo says:March 26, 2014 03:16 pmPlayers can flop in a match because a coach didn't give them clear instructions! Jeff Schlupp is without doubt, the strongest and fastest left back Ghana has, and the fact that he is versatile is a bonus for any coach! H e will be first on the team sheet of most coaches!
keith from germany says:March 26, 2014 04:10 pmEven if jeffrey gets the chance and flop u u say i think taking one game wouldnt been enough to test a player. Jeffrey schlupp played his first international game for ghana two years ago in france when ghana played gabon by beating gabon 2-1 before the afcon 2012 in equitorial guinea and gabon. Schlupp has been fantastic for leceister city and they are on the verge of getting premier league promtion next season. Our problem is the left back and since AA took over the team he hasnt found any solution to this problem. Playing afful there wont help because afful is better of playing at the right side of defence. Afful aint bad but the question is,is he ready for the big stage? Baba rahman and schlupp can fill in the gap. All AA gotta do is to call them and try them and i know they wont surprise. AA will only succeed by doing the right. AA did a very big mistake by ignoring warris at the afcon 2013 and he rather took emmanuel clottey who we all know that he is not a blackstars material.

How it works
A regular expression looks for text outside HTML tags. It uses a callback function to perform replacements to simulate native lookahead support.
When is this sort of replacement suitable ?
- Remote HTML responses (ajax) highlighting
- Autocompleters suggestion highlighting
- User-typed HTML, WYSIWIGs, etc.
Generally speaking, the only downside of this method, since it deals with the innerHTML, is that all attached events and properties are lost when the replacement is performed.
Note: this code is designed to match only beginning of words. If you want to match anywhere, remove
\\b from the regular expression. And if you expect
<script> tags, definitely don't use it.
MooTools version (demo)
highlight: function(search, insensitive, klass){
var regex = new RegExp('(<[^>]*>)|(\\b'+ search.escapeRegExp() +')', insensitive ? 'ig' : 'g');
return this.set('html', this.get('html').replace(regex, function(a, b, c){
return (a.charAt(0) == '<') ? a : '' + c + '';
jQuery version (demo)
highlight: function(search, insensitive, klass){
var regex = new RegExp('(<[^>]*>)|(\\b'+ search.replace(/([-.*+?^${}()|[\]\/\\])/g,"\\$1") +')', insensitive ? 'ig' : 'g');
return this.html(this.html().replace(regex, function(a, b, c){
return (a.charAt(0) == '<') ? a : '' + c + '';

Cool Guillermo!
I had the need to develop this one before, never released though, ouch!
Very clean code ;)
Thanks for sharing!
I was using this regex so far in my autocomplete plugin, I'm now trying to figure out the differences and which version is more effective:
return value.replace(new RegExp("(?![^&;]+;)(?!<[^]*)(" + term.replace(/([\^\$\(\)\[\]\{\}\*\.\+\?\|\\])/gi, "\\$1″) + ")(?![^]*>)(?![^&;]+;)", "gi"), "$1");
The term-replace seems to be very similar, still not the same. The value-replace is quite different. Your version is certainly easier to understand…
I tried something like this a while ago (http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/highlighting-text-with-javascript/), but, as evident from one of the comments, using regular expressions + innerHTML is not a good idea. Not only is malformed HTML an issue, but, as you've said, it can mess up events and properties of elements within. The only solid way to achieve this it to walk the DOM and look for text nodes. (node.nodeType === 3)
Malformed HTML is not an issue. Plus, the only way to reliably walk the DOM is with well formed XML is in the first place :)
This is not the definite highlighting solution, but it's good for many purposes.
Is there any way to highlight sentences which have links in them? in the demo, if you select a sentence which has a link like "A selector is a chain of one or more sequences of simple selectors separated by combinators."
then the text is not selected.
The search term is getting hilighted but for next search value,old hilight does not vanishes.so thats problem.

Hey all,
I got a copy of Kaleyway and when attempting to boot from CD to get OS X running on my PC, i run across a problem. I was wondering if anyone else who's done this can lend me a hand.
I boot as normal until I get to the Leopard install disk screen. That is, I put in the CD, get it to boot, and command line does its thing, with the only odd thing i see is this prompt right here:
"root filesystem is read only; skipping kernel link data generation"
Nevertheless, it boots into the Leopard install screen. I choose English and continue. At this point my keyboard is disabled.
When it says where I would like to install the drive, it can't find my hard drive. The hard drive is there, obviously, its an internal NFTS runnning 7. What am I doing wrong? How do i get my hard drive to show up? Do i have to set up a partion? I don't really want to because I want to install Leopard right on the main hard drive as I already have everything I need backed up. Any help would be appreciated.

Look of a game is always down to the art team. In our case even more so, as we don't have a huge budget and thus we have limited feature set. Rendering stuff for all platforms have been done by 1 coder, and few more have had direct influence on it by working on tools / animation system and such. This doesn't leave much time for groundbreaking innovations

We are using deferred shading (we used it in first Trine as well). Only limit for lights affecting solid geometry is performance. Transparent objects can only be affected by 2 lights, though.
Up to 4 of our spots can use shadows (we pick ones covering most screen space in case there are more than that).
No AO.
We are using PhysX.
We are using textures up to 4096 x 4096 resolution. End boss is using one of those, for example. We compress non-transparent textures to dxt1, alpha tested to dxt3 and alpha blended to dxt5. Our normal maps on PC are dxt5, compared to dxt1 on consoles (dxt5 is twice the space but better quality).
Generally per level we don't have that much texture data - comparing PC to console builds we only have 40 textures or so which have been downscaled by dropping the highest mipmap level.
We don't use any real SSS. We use something we call "wrap shaders" which allow artists to tag certain materials (such as flora) to be lit when not facing the light (it's driven by wrap strength, wrap color and light dot normal value).

Accommodation summary
|17th Street, 07087 Union City, 美国
Welcome to New Jersey/New York!
This is a 1 bedroom garden apartment located on the ground floor of my home - just 15 minutes from NYC. It is ideal for people looking to visit the city for a couple of days as well as looking to stay for a couple of months. Please message me if you are interested in staying for an extended period of time and I will be happy to discuss long-term pricing with you then.
The apartment has been completely renovated and newly furnished. The walls have been newly painted and a sprinkler system installed.
I live upstairs, so you can pop in anytime to ask questions or to just hang out!
Please make sure that you check all my other listing – *the Red&GreenRoom & *the entire Apartment - under my profile, and if you don't find the dates you're looking for, shoot me an inquiry anyways and I'll do what I can to help you, including recommending other great local hosts.
Great energy and very peaceful! Feel free to message me with any questions!
There is a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, microwave, toaster oven and more ... We provide coffee, tea and hot chocolate. We encourage you to make yourself at home. Depending on the length of your stay, you can stack up on food and drink, there is plenty of storage space! We suggest restaurants (menus available including of those that deliver!)
In addition to a very comfortable queen-sized bed there is a couch in the living room, that can sleep an extra person.
Located in Union City, NJ, a very short direct bus ride to the Times Square area.Three blocks from gorgeous Manhattan views (along the Hudson River) Jitney Buses to Manhattan/Times Square run every minute during day, and every 4 minutes at night. Buses run 24/7. They leave from the Post Office on 30th Street - a 10-15 minute walk from the house.
It is easier and faster to commute into the City from Union City than commuting from Brooklyn or Queens. If you were to stay in the Bronx it would take you 40 min to get to Times Square. If you were to stay in Brooklyn it would take you the same amount of time as subways in Brooklyn are not direct. If you were to stay in Manhattan you would not find a place as big as this one for this price. Great grocery and wine/liquor stores in the neighborhood; a Bodega around the corner (open until 10 pm), and the supermarket is just a few blocks away.Very safe neighborhood, lots of great restaurants and bakeries but also very quiet at night.
I was born in Vienna, Austria and have been living in the States for some 4 decades. I lived in Greenwich Village and the East Village (NYC) for 25 years - I consider myself a true New Yorker still, although I now live in New Jersey! I speak German and English and the person on the top floor speaks Dutch and Afrikans (she is from South Africa)!
I live on the first floor in the building (it is a 2-family home), so you can pop in anytime to ask questions or just hang out! I like to keep in contact with guests via WhatsApp or Viber (Text or Email or Cell), so I can assist if needed.
Bookings with us are done with the "strict" cancellation policy and all cancellations should be done through Wimdu. This being said, if we manage to re-rent the place the nights you have canceled we can give a bigger refund to you than what the strict cancellation policy dictates. The earlier you cancel the bigger the chance that we will find other guests.
DEPOSIT IS FOR KEYS + VISITOR PASS or any damages that may have occurred. IT WILL BE REFUNDED TO YOU BY WIMDU AFTER YOU HAVE CHECKED OUT.
To confirm that you have read the entire description, please include the secret word "GreenwichVillage" in your inquiry to me.
Check out by 11am – if you need to stay longer, a special request can be made, depending if we need the apartment the same or the next day.
Please keep the place near and orderly; we expect you to wash your dishes, dry them, put them away and take out the garbage before you check out (see recycling notice in the apartment).
Security Deposit is held to ensure return of Room Key & Visitors Parking Pass. Please leave your keys in the apartment door upon check out, and the parking pass on the dining table to make sure that deposit is instantly refunded to you.
- Check out by 11am
- Smoking is not allowed in the apartment – please smoke outside in front of house or in the garden
The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood, so PLEASE NO noise after 10 pm.
- Please keep food in the kitchen, we keep a pest free house and wish to continue to do so

Hannelore is a very nice friendly lady who was very helpfull during our stay. The appartement is big enough for two and clean and close to Manhattan by bus.
I would definitly recommend it for people who visit New York for a short time.
Die Wohnung von Hannelore ist super gelegen, in einer sehr sicheren und ruhigen Gegend. Für uns zwei Frauen perfekt. Hier muss man auch spät Nachts keine Angst haben. Die Busverbindung nach New York (Times Square) war ideal. Ca. 15-20 min Fahrtzeit. Bei Fragen stand uns Hannelore immer zur Verfügung!
Sehr zu empfehlen!!!! Hannelore alles Liebe für dich und vielleicht bis bald. Viele Grüße Steffi und Sabrina
Die Wohnung liegt verkehrsgünstig und die City ist in nur 15 Bus-
Minuten sehr schnell zu erreichen. Die Bushaltestelle liegt um die Ecke und die Busse fahren in einem engen Takt. Trotzdem ist es dort ruhig, also eine ideale Lage zum Erkunden von Manhattan.
Die Wohnung entspricht der Beschreibung und Hannelore ist ein Schatz! Sie steht mit Rat und Tat stets bereit. Unseren Aufenthalt haben wir sehr genossen. Gerne kommen wir wieder!
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. In der Wohnung gibt es alles was man benötigt. Die Bushaltestelle ist in unmittelbarer Nähe und Hannelore gibt gerne Tips für die Urlaubstage. In der näheren Umgebung finden sich Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Wenn man sich nicht vor einem kleinen Fußweg scheut, sollte man allerdings nach Bergen ins Einkaufszenrum gehen, dort gibt es mehrere große Supermärkte und sogar einen Aldi.
Hannelore hat sich von Anfang an super um uns gekümmert und uns auch ein zuverlässiges Taxiunternehmen besorgt, sowie die anfallenden Telefonate erledigt.
Es war ein toller Urlaub und wenn wir nochmals nach New York kommen, würden wir jederzeit wieder bei Hannelore übernachten.
Hannelore ist eine super Gastgeberin,sie steht dir bei Rat und Tat zur Seite und ist super Lieb!Die Wohnung ist schön groß für 2 Personen,sehr sauber und mit allem ausgestattet was man so brauch!Wir waren 1 Woche dort und es hat uns sehr gefallen!Mit dem Bus nach Manhattan zu kommen ist überhaupt kein Problem sogar sehr angenehm.Die Busse fahren ständig und innerhalb von 15 Minuten ist man in der Stadt!Wir kommen aufjedenfall wieder!
Hannelore ist eine sehr aufmerksamme und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Sie versorgt Mieter mit einer großen Menge an Informationen und gibt viele nützliche Tipps.
Die Wohnung ist umfangreich ausgestattet und in einem sehr guten Zustand. Sie liegt in einem ruhigen Wohngebiet und ist gut per Bus an Manhattan angebunden.
We ( 3 persons ) stayed 5 nights in Union City at Hannelores appartment. Everything was exactly as pictured. It was a quiet and clean place in a safe region with most south american habitants. We loved this atmosphäre very much, especially the coffee at the columbian bakery just around the corner. Hannelore made us a very warm welcome and answered to all our questions an gave us a lot of usefull informations. The appartement is very close located to the N.Y. Bus Port Autorithy which is near Time Square. In about 15 min. drive you are in Midtown Manhattan. ( bus fare $ 3.50 per person ) Hannelore is a very nice host. We liked her donuts and appreciated that she and her lovely dog Logan came to say goodbye to wish us a safe trip home. We definitely recommend this place and if we come back to Big Apple we would stay with Hannelore again. Thanks very much for everything, it was great!
Hannelore is a great host. She took care of us in our stay in New York. She advised us about all our required information.
The location is really good. It takes 5 min walking to the bus stop and then the way to New York ( Times Square) takes around15 min. The house is really cozy.
I really advise this accommodation.
Thanks Hannelore!
Hannelore is a fantastic host. She is very kind and caring.
The communication before, during, and after our stay was wonderful. Hannelore was quick to respond to our questions and messages via WhatsApp and Email.
Hannelore was very sweet and helpful and organized our drop off at JFK, thanks again!
The apartment was very nice, cozy and clean. The green room was big enough for the two of us, especially since the apartment had a spacious living room, bathroom and kitchen.
The bus connection to NYC was frequent, fast and easy.
We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay there again. We will definitely recommend Hannelore and the apartment to friends/family.
Thank you so much for an amazing stay and perfect hospitality!
Thank you so much for the great time with you.
The apartment was nice and neat, and the size of the green room was okay for two people walking through NJ/NYC most of the time and having the spacious common area for leisure time and eating.
The communication before, during, and even after our stay was amazing: Hannelore sent us helpful information in advance and used to answer us very quickly on WhatsApp. On our first day, her son welcomed us although it was his birthday (!) because Hannelore could not come herself due to an accident. They really cared about us without being obtrusive at all. That's what one wishes :)
Keep in mind that the apartment is in NJ and that you will have to buy bus tickets to NYC (~ $ 30,00/week) in addition to the metro ticket.

text: Got my K&N installed over the weekend. I noticed a bit of a performance increase and definitely a MPG boost. Driving expressway from South Bend to East Lansing average about 70-75mph, I got around 17mpg. Normally I would've gotten 15, so I was impressed with that. My biggest complaint is that the air box doesn't fit up against the fender. Here are some pictures.

Vodafone today looked to have triumphed in the battle for Kabel Deutschland after the German cable firm accepted a 7.7 billion euro (£6.6 billion) bid from the British mobile giant.
In a further sign of consolidation across the European telecoms industry, O2 owner Telefonica sold its Irish business, O2 Ireland, for 850 million to Hutchison Whampoa, owner of rival network Three.
The two deals showed how telecom firms are urgently looking to strengthen or sell businesses because of financial and technological pressures.
Vodafone's move for Kabel Deutschland, the British firm's biggest acquisition in 13 years, is especially important as it is marks a strategic shift.
The FTSE 100 giant is now set to become a "triple play" provider, offering pay-TV and fixed-line broadband as well as mobile.
Kabel Deutschland's decision to "welcome" Vodafone's 87-per-share cash bid appeared to have all but killed off the hopes of America's Liberty Global, which made an 85-per-share approach in cash and shares last week.
Vodafone's chief executive Vittorio Colao said the deal would mean "unified communications services" for German customers who "increasingly access TV, fixed and mobile broadband services from multiple devices in the home and workplace and on the move".
Vodafone will have 7.6 million TV customers, 5 million in broadband and 32.4 million mobile in Germany and there would be "significant potential" to cross-sell the services.
Colao played down suggestions this could mean Vodafone will move into pay-TV in Britain or other markets. He said the rise of "triple play" was "the beginning of a trend in consumer behaviour".
Some analysts have suggested mobile companies have fallen behind cable and pay-TV firms as customers embrace "triple play".
Jefferies investment bank flagged up concerns about the £6.6 billion price tag for Kabel Deutschland, saying the "valuation is getting into stretch territory".
Vodafone chief financial officer Andy Halford insisted the company, which famously over-paid when it bought German operator Mannesmann for £112 billion in 2000, was paying a "very fair price".
Liberty Global, which recently bought Virgin Media for £15 billion, declined to comment on its next move.
Meanwhile, Telefonica said it was keen to sell O2 Ireland to reduce its huge debt load. Hutchison Whampoa is controlled by Hong Kong mogul Li Ka-Shing who has an empire of industrial assets.
Comment: Message of major change in the telecoms world
James Ashton, City Editor
After a period of relative calm, the tectonic plates are shifting again in the telecoms world.
Vittorio Colao's costly strike today looks enough to seize control of Kabel Deutschland, showing how far Vodafone's strategy has altered over time. Once, the mobile giant was expected to offload a landline division called Arcor in Germany, picked up as part of its blockbuster Mannesmann deal. Now, fixed lines are the way to get it out of a fix. Weak economic growth across the eurozone and regulatory price reductions mean it pays to scale up in each of its major markets.
But as Vodafone is advancing, debt-laden Telefonica is retreating from Ireland, the latest disposal as the Spanish try to get borrowings under control. Telecoms isn't just a flag-planting race any more; success depends on the ability to invest in assets too. Telefonica's patrician leader, Cesar Alierta, is off the pace. Colao has plenty of firepower. How he deploys it is the question, especially as Vodafone could be drowning in cash if an exit from its lucrative Verizon Wireless joint venture in America is agreed.
Meanwhile, EE, a new British champion forged from a French-German joint venture, could be coming to a stock market near you soon. It just shows what investment in 4G, a technology that consumers crave, can do for the bottom line.

Seems like a decent new contender for a travel cam. I wish the lens was slightly wider (somewhere around 24mm). But still – f1.8, raw, high ISO, 1080p60, 20mpx looks quite nice.
1" Exmor CMOS sensor
20.9 million effective pixels
28-100mm (equiv), f/1.8-4.9 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 'Advanced Aspherical' element
Steady-Shot image stabilization
Contrast-detection AF with 25 points, including tracking and flexible spot options
ISO 100-6400 (up to ISO 25,600 using multi-frame noise-reduction)
Face Recognition and Face Registration (up to 8 faces)
Rear control dial and customizable front 'Control Ring'
10fps continuous shooting in 'Speed Priority' mode
3in, 1228.8K-dot 'WhiteMagic' LCD screen
13 Picture Effects with 27 variations
Memory Recall feature can store up to three groups of custom settings
1080 60p video (AVCHD) with MP4 option
Built-in stereo microphone
330-shot battery life (CIPA)Jun 5, 2012 at 10:21 pm #1884470
Really looks like a nice camera, but the price of $650 is a killer for me.
It does seem like almost perfect travel cam though – small and high spec.
Dpreview is already working on full review for this little gem.Jun 6, 2012 at 11:27 am #1884594

The price makes me think twice, but other than the somewhat soft corners and CA fringing/loss of contrast at max aperture, I think the sample JPEGs look pretty good. ISO 125 is clean enough. This would be perfect for those trips where I don't want to carry 4-5lbs worth of photo gear but still want a decent camera. When you think about it, the price really isn't too bad for what it delivers – I think this Sony does a better job of balancing IQ (sensor+lens) to size compared Canon's GX1. I'd like to see some RAWs and a review first, but it looks like a contender.
Did they mention a release date anywhere?Jun 6, 2012 at 4:05 pm #1884677
The preview is up at dpreview.com
Didn't realise that it has a much larger sensor (1") than the perceived competition (Canon S100/Pana LX5…)
Here is a diagram from DPreview
also smaller than perceived (by me…)
Note that there is a chart there quoting the equivalent depth of field compared to 35 mm.
(in this case F1.8 gives the same effect as F4.9 on a "full frame" (35mm sized sensor) camera.
looking good…

Very very good camera. I want one. Currently selling my Panasonic TS4 that i got a month ago if anyone is interested in order to pay for this Sony.Aug 28, 2012 at 9:25 pm #1907090
Lots good and a few warts. In sum, an impressive, tiny camera with big-chip ambitions.

Out of curiosity, why do you think it costs more to build a high-volume camera like the D3200? My presumption is the high-volume entry-level dslrs are among the cheapest cameras to build, likewise, the "kit" lenses.
FWIW I do think there's a price to pay for relatively low-volume, high-end "boutique" compacts like the RX100, but there's also a lot of R&D cost and specialty hardware in them–they don't share many (any?) components with other cameras and typicaly have metal chassis or casings. They also tend to be built in Japan versus China or other lower-cost countries.
In case it helps, compare the RX to the X2. Suddenly, it's a bargain! And, once the bloom is off the rose prices may soften, especially just before Sony releases the RX200. I was able to snag a DP1s for less than half retail that way.

I sold a T2i to buy a RX100, and I'm honestly very satisfied.
I've owned a Rebel XT, 7D and then a T2i and while I desperately miss the utter glory of my 7D, the RX100 is absolutely the right amount of camera for me. I have use for almost all the features, there's very little that's extraneous and it's very, very small.
The best advantage of this is that I take it many more places and consequently it becomes a dramatically better camera than any DSLR could ever be (for me).
Video is astonishingly good for such a small camera, and its far more usable than any DSLR video in terms of ease. Good autofocus, for one.
Stills are simple and quick, and while I miss the visceral shooting with a mirrored body, it's absolutely good enough for me.
Probably the best thing is that I can't buy more lenses. That was always a bit of an issue with my DSLR hobby. I never had quite the lens I really wanted.Aug 29, 2012 at 5:59 pm #1907390

Destined to be a classic I'm certain. Doubt they'll ever be produced in sufficient quantity to become a second user bargain. I'll be interested to see how well the low light capability compares with the new Samsung TL2 and my Ricoh GXR /A12 28 prime. The Ricoh is chunky in comparison, but I'm loving the quality and capability for the same sort of price tag. Handling is great.Sep 2, 2012 at 3:28 pm #1908504

I have been using a RX100 for a bit more than a month now. It's the first pocketable digital camera than I don't wince at the resulting pictures. Sure, there have been times that a larger lens / sensor would have produced a much better image or might have let me captured something I couldn't with the RX100, but the RX100 has done surprisingly well. I am much more willing to leave our larger cameras behind now.
For me, it's a game changer. I have tried a number of other small cameras. None of the smaller digital cameras has really made me happy. I regularly found myself asking the question "Do I want to have images from XYZ event / location?" If the answer was yes, I would bring a "real" camera. If the answer was "It's not that important" I would more often than not leave my small camera behind because even if I used it, the odds that I would have any pictures I wanted to keep was really low.
With the RX100 the question is "Is a primary purpose of this journey to make images"? If the answer is yes than I bring one of our "serious cameras". If the answer is no, I bring the RX100 because you never know what might present itself opportunistically… and if there is something interesting, the RX100 has a fair chance of capturing it well enough to keep the picture, even if it doesn't have superior image quality.
–MarkSep 7, 2012 at 10:25 am #1910064
so to summarize:
smaller, lighter, faster (10fps, 60p video, shot to shot, etc), wider dynamic range, wider ISO gammut, optical stabilization, all aluminum body, higher resolution lcd, and more.
Sounds like a winnerSep 7, 2012 at 9:39 pm #1910269

I didn't realize dxomark had released their stats for the RX100, cool. My real world experience agrees with their results, if not suggested that there was a bigger gap. The RX100 was clearly superior to the GF3, even when the GF3 has the advantage of a faster / better lens. My experience was that the RX100 maintained image quality better than the GF3 at higher ISO. That said, the GF3 is not know to be one of the better 4/3s cameras. I owned one briefly as a backup body and dumped it as soon as I get my OM-D. I was very disappointed with it. Of course, the GF3 is a previous generation of the cost contained 4/3s line, so it is not a good representative of what 4/3s can do.
If you compare the RX100 to the GH2, which is the best of the 4/3 that dxomarks has published their results, you will see that while the RX100 has a better overall score and maximum dynamic range, etc… that is due to you being able to shoot the RX100 at ISO 80, where the GH2 bottom ISO is 160. If you look at the graphs, you will find that once you get to ISO 160 and above, the GH2 is typically performing better than than the RX100. When we have done test shoots (or used both in the field), the GH2 was better (to my eyes) as ISO 200, and clearly better from ISO 400 and up. Actually, it was better even when we were shooting the RX100 at ISO 80, and the the GH2 at 160, but the GH2 was using what I expect is a better lens.
My experience is that the newer 4/3s such as the Olympus OM-D (which dxomark hasn't release data on yet) have sensors that out performs the GH2 by 1-2 stops, I expect that what these cameras' data goes up, you will find they have better sensors than the RX100. Add to that a wider selection of lens, and you have something that clearly trumps the RX100 on image quality. On the other hand, the GH2 or the OM-D, or the G5 don't fit into your pants pocket.
The RX100 is a remarkable little camera, and I think close to ideal for the range of pictures I typically take backpacking. The only camera that might be better (since most of my pictures could be classified as either landscape or portraits in environment) would be the Sigma Merrill DPx… which I will … must… resistant. I am trying to simply life, and I really don't need another camera.
–MarkSep 8, 2012 at 9:36 am #1910344
DXOmark is, well, controversial but offers some limited help sifting through a mountain of cameras. But using it to make a selection would be like picking a car based on comparing engine dyno graphs and, by the way, you can't watch the dyno being operated.
The little Sony offers compact users a nice alternative but isn't an interchangeable lens camera replacement–not its mission.
The new Sigma DP output is impressive but dear lord, they still can't manage to build a usable camera (see LL's review for more). My DP1s can make wonderful images but only within a razor-thin set of parameters. The circa 2002 user interface, display, and above all, vastntime required to do anything have not been addressed in the Merrills. A thousand bucks? A bargain, I guess, compared to the X2.

@tallblokeLocale: DON'T LOOK DOWN!!
Thanks Franco, interesting comparison. The Sony is a superb device.
The GXR beats it in terms of lens quality, resolution, high ISO performance, auto white balance, handling, external flash options and robustness.
The Sony has it for weight, movies, weight, zoom, weight, and weight. Did I mention weight? It's a superb camera for its weight. Considering how close behind the Ricoh GXR it is in terms of IQ, it's a great option for backpacking light. The lens is just a bit on the soft side.
Tough call, but I got my mint GXR and A12 28 prime plus a P10 10x zoom lens for less than the Sony would cost, so I'm happy for now.Sep 28, 2012 at 5:26 am #1916342

got mine in the mail yesterday around 3 in the afternoon, just in time for a quick jaunt in the indian peaks. It was raining down in Boulder, so I wasn't sure what to expect up high. Sure enough, it was snowing. I think the first of the season.
Its been a while since I brought a camera backpacking. I always seem to focus too much on working a scene and being a photographer when I bring my DSLR, so I've been on the look out for something that I could move fast with and just snap as I go, but still get good quality results from. So far, I'd say this fits the bill. Super impressed with the IQ, and I'm glad I opted for the pocketable option over the NEX. I know everyone has already said it, but the engineers at sony really pulled something off with this one.
And here is a crop at %100 for the pixel peepers. Shot in jpeg since I don't have the latest PS updates.Sep 28, 2012 at 6:23 am #1916347

I would give this camera a full on review, but don't have much negative to say about it. I'm surprised at how good the IQ is each time I open a file in PS. I also appreciate the increased depth of field for landscape work. That, combined with the steady shot IS makes the camera pretty usable without a tripod.
Its responsive and easy to use with an LCD thats easy to see even bright sun. Really happy with this purchase.
There's not much to hold onto, so I generally keep the wrist strap wrapped if I'm moving with it. I wish the macro could get closer at standard and tele focal lengths, but I understand this is a natural limit of putting a relatively large sensor in a small camera with a big aperture. It'd be great if there were a hotshoe for an external mic like the one for NEX models. The video is great, and sound is not bad, but to do more legit video I'd probably need an external mic. Also, I wish this thing had android or built in wifi, which I bet will be in the next model. Speaking of which, my only reluctance around this camera is that, with sony's aggressive approach innovation, I know I'm going to want to replace this with their next drool worthy model.
Here's a gallery with indian peaks, san juans, and zion trips form october. Its been a good month!

My dog is acting depressed and seems very lethargic and constantly napping. Is he OK?
Hi there,
My 7 yr old male corgi cross has been very flat for the past 2 days. He's been sleeping/resting under my bed all day, not excited for walks, no tail wagging and it may sound silly but he just has extremely sad eyes!
I noticed his stomach on one side is rather tight and looks a bit bloated.
He has kidney disease and athritis in his back legs, but neither cause him too much discomfort at the moment.
Any suggestions/help?

Have you had him checked for parasites lately? In some cases having any type of worms can make them bloat and inactive.

I hope it's not too late, but he's probably in pain. Dogs are very stoic and you probably won't hear moaning or whining until it's REALLY bad, they just seem "lazy" and withdrawn when they're hurting.
I hope you took him to see a vet to figure out what's wrong with him.

Where I stayed
This was a complete waste of a day; we spent the majority of the day in the hostel bar doing our blog. It takes almost as long to write this damn blog as is does to see the sites but our fans want James and Jackie so we're not going to let them down! Haha. We finally got on our train to Liverpool at 5:30pm and arrived at 9:30pm after missing our stop and having to go back two stations, oops. We found a grocery store and had a late supper then went straight to bed, and again, for the second time in the UK found that we were in a dorm with no-one else, which is nice. The crappy thing about hostels here though we've found is the beds are horrible, you can seriously feel every spring in the bed digging into you, and this isn't an exaggeration! Trying to read while lying on your side in bed sucks because the springs your arm is resting on cut off the circulation and your arm gets sore and goes numb, grrr.
On another note we have found our new treat, cherry bakewell tarts! My cousin Corey introduced us to them in London and since then we've bought a few and plan to buy many more. It's basically a tart shell with a bit of cherry pie filling in the bottom and then the rest is filled with an almond cake and topped with sugar and almond slices; they come in different varieties but these are the ones we've tried and absolutely love!!
The next morning (29th) when we woke up we realized that we hadn't booked any train tickets out of Liverpool or hostels so again we spent almost the entire day sitting in front of our computer comparing hostels and trying to get the cheapest train tickets we could. Our goal was also to get our blog posted up to today, that didn't happen again so now we are a week behind. Again. We did however manage to book hostels in Inverness (Loch Ness!!) and in Edinburgh before we leave Scotland so we have the rest of the UK planned, yaaay!

Why a 4 Month Delay in Reporting Lansing Mercury Spill?
East Lansing has arranged for wastewater treatment plant employees to be tested for mercury poisoning after a November spill was disclosed last week.
The Lansing State Journal reports the city is investigating how the spill occurred and why it wasn't reported for four months. Public Works Director Todd Sneathen says he interviewed workers Monday and arranged for tests for as many as 16 of them.
The state Department of Environmental Quality says at least 1.5 pounds of mercury spilled.
Sneathen says the city learned of the spill on Thursday when a group of plant workers came forward and requested a meeting.
Sneathen says workers used a vacuum to clean up the spill.
Jim Wilson, Ingham County's environmental health director, says officials found high levels of mercury inside the vacuum.

I went to Hotels.com to find a last minute stopover on a long road trip.... I ended up staying for 3 days as this Hacienda is an absolutely magical place! I know I will return, making the Hacienda my destination! Truly the best and most authentic Mexican vacation. This place is a cross between staying at a private estate or a museum! You are greeting with Tequila and cool clothes to wipe you face. Very attentive staff act as curators for this historical gem. I enquired about horseback riding to find out it is complimentary, and a horse was saddled&ready within 10 minutes!
We love this beautiful hacienda. We were greeted with two small bottles of wine, nuts and fruit. The outdoor courtyard had plenty of seating and was restful and relaxing. The whole place is gorgeous and the staff is remarkable. Cannot recommend it enough.
We celebrated my dads birthday and it was a great choice, the chef and the owner were super accommodating with our needs. Needed more time to enjoy some of the amenities of the hacienda like the Spa. We had a great time horseback riding, biking, fishing, walking, playing badmington and just relaxing.
We were a group of eight friends from San Diego, CA. We were in Jalisco to visit the Tequila Route. Hacienda El Carmen offered the perfect base for this activity. The spa is first rate and trust me, we know our spas. We golfed, played croquet, loafed by the pool, walked the village and sipped coffee on the veranda. Each evening we could meet for cocktails near the patio lit with sparkling lights. The Tango show was a bonus treat though I understand that is not weekly.
Met the owners who made our group feel comfortable and welcomed. The service was excellent and whatever we wanted was granted. Excellent place to relax . The dinners, lunches, and breakfasts were delicious. All of us can't wait to go back.

This product is marked for sensitive skin however for me it proved not to be. I initially loved the results it provided, within moments a noticeable difference in the under eye area, puffiness totally gone! However after a few weeks it started having the opposite affect, within moments of using it my under eye area would turn bright red and super swollen! I tested it a few times, putting it on under my face cream/ making sure my hands were extra clean etc etc but no dice. Had to toss it out at 80% full to keep myself from using it again, the only way to get rid of the swelling and redness was a cold compress for about a half hour!. Needless to say, I cannot use this product.1

Indian police arrested three players, including Test paceman Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, for alleged spot-fixing during the ongoing Indian Premier League tournament.
Spin bowlers Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila were the other two players arrested and suspended from the domestic Twenty20 competition.
Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar, speaking at media conference, responded to a question asking if any Australians were involved by saying: "No, your countrymen can rest in peace."
Kumar had outlined an investigation and aired video footage he said showed the three players had given signals to bookmakers and then conceded an agreed number of runs from a single over.
The matches were on May 5, May 9 and on Wednesday.
He said police had received a tip-off implicating the three and moved after Wednesday's match between the Royals and Mumbai Indians when he said Chavan conceded 15 runs from an over after giving bookmakers a signal that he would concede more than 14 runs.
Kumar said the footage was backed by hundreds of hours of phone conversations between players and bookmakers.
Kumar said there was no evidence of any other players involved in spot-fixing and no further player arrests would be made, but that he could not say for sure that others were not involved in IPL spot-fixing.
Cricket authorities stood down the players but the BCCI said the IPL would not be suspended.
"The three players... stand suspended pending enquiry. All information required to bring the persons involved to book will be collected and strictest action will be taken, if found guilty,'' a statement by the authorities said.
Sreesanth, 30, was arrested by Delhi police in Mumbai along with his Rajasthan Royal teammates and the trio were being brought to the national capital for questioning, a police source told AFP.
The India paceman was arrested at a friend's house while his teammates were taken into custody at a hotel after returning from a match last night against the Mumbai Indians.
Sreesanth's mother Savitri Devi said: "I don't believe that my son would ever do such a thing. As far as I know, he is being framed by someone, because he trusts people easily. He never had any enemies."
The Royals franchise said in a statement they would co-operate fully with police in the investigation.
"We are completely taken by surprise... we will fully co-operate with the authorities to ensure a thorough investigation,'' it said.
"The management at Rajasthan Royals has a zero-tolerance approach to anything that is against the spirit of the game,'' the statement added.
Police have also arrested seven bookmakers in Mumbai and three in Delhi for their alleged involvement in the scandal.
Royals co-owner Raj Kundra tweeted that he believed IPL teams could not be involved in match fixing but players that lacked integrity could.
"Just when IPL was going on so smoothly without controversies I woke up to the news of 3 RR players alleged spot fixing. Investigations r on," Kundra tweeted.
"When asked the repeated question is IPL fixed my answer is always IPL teams CAN'T be fixed but individual players who lack integrity can," he added.
Sreesanth, who played the last of his 27 Tests against England two years ago, is no stranger to controversy, and was famously slapped by his teammate Harbhajan Singh during an IPL match in 2008.
Sreesanth has also played 53 one-day internationals.
Spot-fixing, which refers to fixing any part of the game, hit the headlines in 2011 when three Pakistani players were banned after being found guilty of contriving no-balls in return for money in a 2010 Test in England.
Former captain Salman Butt got a 10-year ban, with five years suspended, and Mohammad Asif was barred for seven years, with two suspended.
Mohammad Aamer was banned for five years - the minimum punishment under the International Cricket Council code.
All three, along with their agent Mazhar Majeed, were also jailed by an English court in 2011 for spot-fixing. The three players were released last year.
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly called for a life ban on the players if the charges are proven.
"Nobody can prevent corruption other than players," he told CNN-IBN news channel. "It's about individuals and nobody can force you to bowl a no-ball or a wide. The players found guilty should be banned for life."
Former International Cricket Council chief Sharad Pawar agreed. He said the IPL "has given substantial financial support to players and this is unforgivable.
"The BCCI has to take strict action against the players, the suspension announced is the right kind of action but it should not stop there. There should be a thorough enquiry and if proven, they should be banned for life."
