World's worst team happy to win first point
By Ek Madra
PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - After six fruitless years playing international soccer, the world's worst team are beginning to see the romance of the beautiful game.
When the rag-tag national side of East Timor drew 2-2 with fellow strugglers Cambodia last week, they clinched the first point they had ever won to stem a seemingly endless run of defeats.
FIFA's lowest-ranked nation finally had something to celebrate.
"It was the first game we didn't lose -- we're all very proud," said long-serving, long-suffering coach Pedro Almeida, a motorcycle mechanic in the country's sleepy capital Dili.
"We are not happy with our world ranking and we are hoping our players will continue to improve," he told Reuters.
Almeida says it is no surprise that his team of inexperienced misfits have never won a match.
Although aid and investment have trickled into the cash-strapped Southeast Asian nation since it gained full independence in 2002, hardly any has been spent on sport.
The country's handful of balding soccer pitches are barely usable and its federation chiefs say it is almost impossible to find opponents for friendly matches. Continued...

Physicians' and Nurses' Online Course in Limited Obstetric Ultrasound
This online course has been designed to instruct learners in the performance of "limited obstetric ultrasound". The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) defines a "limited ultrasound" as one which is "performed when a specific question requires investigation" (see "AIUM Practice Guidelines for the Performance of an Antepartum Obstetric Ultrasound Examination" — www.aium.org).
This course is an outgrowth of the need seen for a limited obstetric ultrasound course to train medical personnel in the performance of limited obstetric ultrasound. The course follows an over 10-year history of instruction in limited ultrasound courses and now uses web-based technology to enhance the availability of such training. It follows the models for adult learning with the use of multiple modalities and repetition to achieve learning.
The course is original in its content and organization. It follows the guidance of both the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) for training individuals in limited obstetric ultrasound.

- Where can I get more information about walking?
What types of walking are there?
There are two types of formal walking: power-walking (also known as speed-walking) and racewalking. Both types require technique; the difference between them is that racewalking is an Olympic sport with rules and power-walking is done more recreationally. For example, there's a racewalking rule that the athlete's back toe cannot leave the ground until the heel of the front foot has touched. Both are excellent forms of exercise that yield fitness and health benefits.
Another type of walking requires no technique; you just get out there and walk. I call this the plain old walking technique, one step in front of the other! You've been doing it your entire life, and whether it's for exercise, a stroll, or walking the dog, there are lots of benefits to be gained from it. I encourage you to continue if that's what you do for exercise, but if you want to up the ante and start walking faster, then attention to your technique might be just the ticket.
Where can I find tips on walking techniques?
The technique for brisk walking, whether it's power- or racewalking, is the same. Below are some tips on technique.
- A common mistake for beginners when trying to walk fast is lengthening the stride (overstriding). Overstriding is biomechanically inefficient and can slow you down. It will burn more calories because it's inefficient (which might be a good thing), but you may burn fewer calories overall because you don't walk as far due to fatigue.
- Instead of overstriding to walk faster, concentrate on a powerful push off while the front foot lands closer to the body. This is what elite walkers do.
- Walk heel to toe and not flatfooted to increase speed.
- Contact the ground with your heel.
- Roll the foot forward over the center of your foot.
- Push off with your toes.
- Rotate your hips forward and backward as you walk.
- Your waist should twist. Racewalkers can look funny because of the hip rotation but restricted hip movement decreases your speed.
- Keep your torso upright. Leaning forward or back will slow you down.
Arm work
- Keep your elbows at 90 degrees.
- Keep your hands relaxed.
- Swing your arms forward and back and keep them close to your body. Your hands should not cross the midline of your body to maintain efficiency.
- Speed up your arm swing to increase your speed and your legs will follow! This really works!
Head, neck, and shoulders
- Keep your shoulders and neck relaxed. Head should be upright, eyes looking forward.

You have bigger issues than network connectivity if your laptop still has a PCMCIA slot...
They should give this piece of crap away for free nobody's going to use these!
Oh boy wow... another one of these things? Should have seen it last night when they had a wireless N card.. so much rage

Never throw it away when you can sell it on eBay for a dollar.
I guess this makes it a hat trick... Gigabit, N, now 10/100
Extreme N
And woot went dumpster diving and found them, and now they're here.
Ummm, never mind the last time you saw a laptop without a nic... when was the last time you saw a pcmcia slot (I was on that committee... People Can't Memorize Complicated Industry Acronyms)...

Hey everybody!
So I've been MIA for a while, but now I'm back, and I am curious to see what kind of RPG would be the most popular right now. I want to start another one - with people that will go crazy with posts - because we all know that it's more fun when people post often.
So, I'm putting a poll on here for you to vote and see what would be best. Uhm. Yeah! So... VOTE

Exactly one year ago today,
I held my best friend as she slipped away.
Calm and peace came over her face
My life, from then on, had an empty space.
I know you're somewhere better now,
We will meet again, someday, somehow.
I can't believe it's been a whole year since you've been gone. Because of you, I am now involved in dog rescue and you've sent me two wonderful dogs to look after. I love them but I will always miss you.
I still can't look at your little doggie belongings: your blankets, bowls, leash, collar. Your old bedroom is such a mess, because I don't spend a lot of time in there anymore. I miss our walkies and how much I could trust you.
From the day you were born until the day you left this Earth, you never growled or lost your patience, not once. You were never fearful, but quietly confident. You were, in short, the perfect dog; the kind of dog that comes along once in a lifetime, and I'm so grateful that I had you for yours.
Until we meet again, my sweet little puppy-girl.
Monday night, September 19 2005 at 7:10 PM, Lucky's huge, loving heart quietly stopped beating.
The previous weekend she cried, something she never did before. Also.... she could no longer walk unassisted, something that frustrated her, and she had refused food for 2 weeks. I tried to force-feed her but it got to the point where she looked like a little doggie skeleton.
Although she still acted happy when we walked into the room and seemed to like going outside to lie on the grass.... she was just so thin.... I decided that I would not let her live in pain or discomfort.
Her veterinarian came to our home Monday night... I said it was time... she said that Lucky's cancer might have spread to her brain, hence the inability to walk, loss of muscle mass (cancer eats protein), and some other symptoms. But it was unlikely that she was suffering any pain.
I held her in my arms as she was put peacefully to sleep in our living room.
My mom went away for two whole weeks. During that time, the food ladies and Uncle Carlo looked after me. I don't like anyone to feed me except mom. She knows how to do it the best. I ate for Uncle Carlo, though, because he put some yummy baby food in with my dog food! I also got bread and peanut butter, and some Ensure and Rebound too. I still managed to lose some weight, though.
Even though Uncle Carlo and the Food Ladies tried their best with me, I was so weak when mom came home that I could hardly stand or walk. Mom thought it might be the end. But since I've put a little weight on, I'm walking better now. And mom bought me a new bed made with memory foam! It's supposed to help my joints. But I peed in it so I have to wait until it's clean again.
In sadder news, I just found out that one of my heroes, Baylea, a Golden Retriever, succumbed to her oral cancer last month. I looked up to her because she was living with cancer just like me! Don't worry Baylea's mom, dad and brother. When I get to doggie heaven, Baylea and I will play together!
I have large, golf-ball sized tumours taking up about 60% of my lungs. That's what happens when cancer metastasizes. Aside from having a hard time keeping weight on, no one would even know, I don't even cough or have shortness of breath. I am still a happy dog and my mom has learned to take it one day at a time.

Northern Californians in big leagues
Every night I see the highlight shows and every time I see the Giants on TV, I am reminded of how many local players are in the big leagues. Of course we see Nate Schierholtz and Brandon Crawford of the Giants playing nearly every day and last night, Tyson Ross made his season debut as the A's beat the Angels. There are more around the bigs and a bunch more in the minors waiting to make their impact. Not only that, we could see two of the local college pitchers drafted VERY HIGH in the first round. Stanford RHP Mark Appel has been in consideration for the #1 overall pick all season and USF RHP Kyle Zimmer is also considered a first round talent, possibly in the first ten picks.
Here are some notable local and regional players and their stats for the season so far... there are MANY more big leaguers from this region but this is a nice snapshot of some recognizable names:
Matt Garza, RHP Cubs, Washington Union HS (Fresno), Fresno State - 1-0, 1.23 ERA
Bud Norris, RHP Astros, San Marin HS, Cal Poly - 0-0, 3.46 ERA
Doug Fister, RHP Tigers, Golden Valley HS (Merced), Fresno State - currently on DL
Vance Worley, RHP Phillies, C.K. McClatchy HS (Sacramento) - 0-1, 3.75 ERA
Jimmy Rollins, SS Phillies, Encinal HS (Alameda) - .311, 6 R, 2 RBI, 2 SB
Dustin Pedroia, 2B Red Sox, Woodland HS - .295, 3 HR, 5 RBI, 8 R, 1 SB
CC Sabathia, LHP Yankees, Vallejo HS - 1-0, 5.59 ERA
Ted Lilly, LHP Dodgers, Yosemite HS (Oakhurst), Fresno City College - 1-0, 0.00 ERA
Troy Tulowitzki, SS Rockies, Fremont HS (Sunnyvale) - .244, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 8 R
Brandon Morrow, RHP Blue Jays, Rancho Cotate HS (Rohnert Park), Cal-Berkeley - 0-0, 2.57 ERA
Kyle Lohse, RHP Cardinals, Hamilton Union HS (Hamilton City), Butte College - 2-0, 0.89 ERA
Aaron Hill, 2B Diamondbacks, Redwood HS (Visalia) - .189, 3 HR, 7 RBI, 6 R, 1 SB
Nate Schierholtz, RF Giants, San Ramon Valley HS (Danville), Chabot College - .360, 2 HR, 6 RBI, 3 R
Brandon Crawford, SS Giants, Foothill HS (Pleasanton) - .214, 1 HR, 7 RBI, 3 R
Jonny Gomes, OF/DH A's, Casa Grande HS (Petaluma), Santa Rosa JC - .143, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 3 R, 1 SB
Bryan Shaw, RHP Diamondbacks, Livermore HS - 0-2, 2 SV, 1.29 ERA
Ryan Cook, RHP A's, Clovis HS - 0-0, 0.00 ERA
Ryan Mattheus, RHP Nationals, Galt HS, Sacramento City College - 1-0, 5.40 ERA
David Hernandez, RHP Diamondbacks, Elk Grove HS, Cosumnes River College - 0-1, 4.50 ERA

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
During the 2007 NBA Draft, Danny Ainge began his magical offseason and before the night was done, the Celtics had acquired Ray Allen and Glen 'Big Baby' Davis for Jeff Green, Delonte West, and Wally Szczerbiak. That, as everyone now knows, led to the acquisition of Kevin Garnett and the eventual NBA Champion rolling rally in Boston.
The celebration from the 2007-2008 season may just be beginning, but the Celtics have work to do in the offseason if they hope to raise Banner #18 next year. First on the agenda? The NBA Draft. With their No. 30 selection (a pick they hope to have for years to come), the Celtics chose shooting guard J.R. Giddens from the University of New Mexico. Who?
Giddens reportedly had been on the mind of Danny Ainge for some time. After the NBA Finals and subsequent rolling rally, Ainge handed Doc Rivers a scouting report of Giddens and some video showcasing his talents. Doc was apparently enamored right away and was impressed with what he saw, especially on the defensive end:
"He has a chance to fight for minutes right away because of his defense."
NBADraft.net (a site I consult every year around draft time) had Giddens slotted to be picked by the Los Angeles Lakers…in the second round at No. 58. So why did Ainge take him 28 picks earlier than he was mocked to go? Ask Danny yourself:
"I think he's a playmaker at the defensive end. This guy gets steals, blocks shots from the guard position. He's a playmaker at the defensive end and he's a pretty darn good offensive player."
The folks at NBADraft.net had yet to even give Giddens a score on their scouting report. There's a few notes about his amazing ability to dunk. OK, so good defense, good dunking skills, and a shooting guard? Tony Allen anyone?
That's right! Tony Allen is basically gonzo now that the Celtics drafted Giddens. It may take a year, but Allen will be on his way out as there is a younger duplicate ready to step in and play. Giddens is kind of old (22)…and I say that because he was one of the few players drafted that is older than I am. But, Giddens is still younger than Tony Allen, who at 26 getting older and still recovering from a major knee injury.
Look for Giddens to get a similar amount of playing time as Gabe Pruitt got in 2007-08 (basically none), as he may be sent back and forth between the NBADL and the Celtics.
As far as the other two picks the Celtics made, the Celtics drafted SF Bill Walker from Kansas State with the No. 47 pick (acquired from the Wizards for cash considerations). Ainge his known for his good 2nd Round picks (Ryan Gomes, Leon Powe) so this could also work.
Before a devastating knee injury derailed his college career, Walker was known for his legendary dunking ability. NBADraft.net's Aran Smith recalls that Walker had explosive skills:
"…an absolutely jaw dropping, electrifying dunker capable of getting air like the greatest dunkers of all time, Jordan, Dominique, Vince Carter, Josh Smith etc. … His leg strength and explosiveness is off the charts…"
With the last pick of the draft, the Celtics took a Turkish center named Semih Erden. He's a 7-footer and has good skills, so there's promise with this guy. But…he probably will never play in the NBA.
So there you have it, another NBA Draft is now history and all players drafted will probably have little or no impact on the Celtics season.
Are you satisfied with the Celtics pick of J.R. Giddens at No. 30?

Which Holiday Plants Are Dangerous for Your Cat - And Which Are Safe?
There are a number of plants that are holiday favorites, including poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, Christmas cactus, and, of course, the ever present holiday tree. Let's talk about these plants and how they might affect your cat.
Poinsettias, though often described as being toxic, are actually over-rated in terms of their danger. If ingested, they may cause minor intestinal upset such as diarrhea and/or vomiting. Typically, symptoms are self-limiting and not life-threatening.
The Christmas cactus is another commonly seen holiday plant. They also are considered non-toxic and, like poinsettias, may cause mild intestinal upset if ingested.
Unlike poinsettias and Christmas cactuses, amaryllis plants are toxic. The bulb is particularly dangerous, causing low blood pressure, weakness, incoordination, tremors, and seizures if ingested. Ingestion of the bulb is, fortunately, not common though. Most often, cats chew on the leaves or flowers, which causes excessive salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Holly is another plant that can potentially be toxic if ingested in large enough quantities. Gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, lack of appetite) and depression may be seen. Fortunately, the plant is somewhat prickly, which seems to discourage ingestion for many cats. Still, your cat should be kept away from holly or decorations containing holly.
Mistletoe is another commonly seen Christmas ornament. There are two forms of mistletoe: the American form and the European form. Most toxicities in the United States involve the American form. Ingestion of small quantities of the leaves or berries may only cause stomach upset. However, larger exposures may result in cardiovascular compromise and may be life-threatening. Often, when purchased commercially, the berries have been replaced with plastic beads. These beads are not dangerous unless swallowed. However, they can be swallowed by a curious cat and can become dangerous as a foreign body.
Though not truly a holiday plant, lilies are often found in Christmas bouquets and centerpieces. These plants and flowers are extremely toxic to your cat, even in small quantities. All parts of the true lilies are considered toxic and can cause kidney damage when ingested. Keep all lilies out of the reach of your cat. If your cat ingests any part of a true lily, seek veterinary care immediately. If treatment is instituted within 18 hours of ingestion, it may be possible to save your cat. After 18 hours, the prognosis decreases significantly.
Many homes feature trees during the holiday season. These trees can pose a threat for your cat also. There are many different types of trees that are used and decorated for the season. Most of them can cause vomiting, lack of appetite, abdominal pain, and depression if the needles are ingested. Needles from these trees may pose a threat as a gastrointestinal foreign body if ingested. In addition, water used to keep the tree fresh may contain fertilizers, other chemicals, or bacteria and mold, all of which may be toxic to your pet if ingested.
If in doubt about the safety of a plant, it is best to place the plant out of your cat's reach. If your cat has ingested part of a plant which you believe may be dangerous, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Hotline immediately.

Polkastra "I Do:" The Wedding Album
The Making Of.....
The Kosher Chicken Dance video
In the spring of 2012, Lara had the bright idea of enlisting her friend, the great Ottawa Valley stepdancer Stephanie Cadman, to star in and choreograph Polkastra's novel approach to the Chicken Dance. She chose the Kosher Chicken track "because it's already a dance - we could just make it better!" Stephanie decided that a groom and two pairs of backup dancers dressed as wedding guests would be a good look.
Polkastra's arrangers Matt Van Brink and Martin Kennedy were up for the venture, but a particular shout-out must go to spontaneous friends Brian Foote (a software designer) and Keve Wilson (an oboist), who genially took on the job of backup dancers solely on Lara's saying "hey! it'll be fun!"
So, Lara bought Stephanie a wedding dress online for $128 (at 90% off), flew her to New York and scoped out some semi-private Central Park venues so the dancers wouldn't look too flashmobby (or idiotic). The June morning dawned bright and sunny, and with intrepid videographer (normally a video animator) Nick Fox-Gieg, and production manager (an actor in real life) Aaron Poole, they all set out to make the video of the decade! Later in the day, more friends joined in to make up the minyan, and the circle dance was looked upon with great envy by passing New Yorkers.
Other footage was captured on Farmer Bob's chicken farm in Cooperstown, NY, when Lara took a train up to Glimmerglass opera where contrabassoonist Mark was working for the summer. Mark was very polite to his avian co-stars, always referring to them as 'ladies'.
Daniel Lapp and his flumpet were filmed in Trinity Park, Toronto, by Lara and Stephanie. Ronn and Lara playing at the Naumberg Bandshell was filmed by Adrienne Lloyd, and all synchro and editing was done by Lara St John. This video was shot with a budget of: a $128 wedding dress, a $3.99 veil, dinners, and drinks (lots).

POLKASTRA "I Do:" The Wedding Album
Chosen as CBC's Disc of the Week!
"An impertinent novelty album that's full of familiar wedding tunes transformed by skillful, albeit cheeky, arrangements. Witty, wacky and weirdly entertaining, it's yet another example of Lara St. John's remarkable ability to make musical merriment. Mazel tov!"
"An astounding feat of cinematography, reminiscent, in its depth, intensity, and revolutionariness, of Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin"

1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
The spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 miles. Our technicians recommend replacing the spark plug wires also at this time.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned then the transmission system should be completely flushed.
The engine may start and stall with the security light flashing. This is commonly caused by a failed passlock sensor which is part of the ignition lock cylinder. A secondary cause could be the ignition switch itself. Worn contacts inside the ignition switch can cause voltage drop issues which can affect the passlock system. Proper diagnoses should be performed before replacing any parts.
An engine oil leak may develop from the rear of the engine. This is commonly caused by a failed oil pump drive o-ring seal. The leaking o-ring should be replaced to correct this concern.
The front struts may show signs of wear, or be excessively bouncy ride at freeway speeds. This may begin to occur at around 75,000 miles.
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians often recommend replacement of the front rotors and brake pads as the best option to correct this condition.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
An automatic transmission fluid leak may develop from the rubber section of a transmission cooler line. In some cases the rubber section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this type of leak.
Brake fluid can become dirty and may cause problems in the brake system; it should be flushed every 60,000 miles.
Acid may leak from the battery at the cable connections, resulting in corrosion on the battery cable ends and in the battery tray. A Leaking battery should be replaced and the cables thoroughly cleaned or replaced if necessary.

Calcutta: Former Australia captain Ian Chappell heaped praise on the India colts and lauded the performance of captain Unmukt Chand.
Speaking to a website after the young Indians lifted the U-19 World Cup, Chappell said that Chand played a stellar role in the victory."The advantage that India had was Unmukt Chand, who stayed there till the end. He sorted out the chase through the tough period. That was a match-winning performance."
Chappell argued that a talent like Chand would go to waste if he was left unnoticed for long by the selectors.
"Chand is a class above the under-19 level and he showed it today. He should be playing at a much higher level. I know he has played first-class cricket, but I think that if you leave a young player at a lower level for too long they get into sloppy habits."
Chappell felt the Delhi youngster has it in him to go a long way.
"He is ready for far bigger challenges— not only his abilities, but also his temperament. I just hope that some smart selectors get him moving up the grades."

Early relational reasoning and the novice programmer : swapping as the "hello world" of relational reasoning
Corney, Malcolm W., Lister, Raymond, & Teague, Donna M. (2011) Early relational reasoning and the novice programmer : swapping as the "hello world" of relational reasoning. In Conferences in Research and Practice in Information Technology (CRPIT), Australian Computer Society, Inc., Curtin University, Perth, pp. 95-104.
Accepted Version
(PDF 276kB)
We report on a longitudinal research study of the development of novice programmers in their first semester of programming. In the third week, almost half of our sample of students could not answer an explain-in-plain-English question, for code consisting of just three assignment statements, which swapped the values in two variables. We regard code that swaps the values of two variables as the simplest case of where a programming student can manifest a SOLO relational response. Our results demonstrate that the problems many students face with understanding code can begin very early, on relatively trivial code. However, using traditional programming exercises, these problems often go undetected until late in the semester. New approaches are required to detect and fix these problems earlier.

Looking at the hardware, the system is locked up or not. There are no fluid couplings or anything like that involved. Cannot really run any kind of gear ratio in the transfer case without causing lots of binding.
Which leaves freewheeling differentials in front, rear, and middle and application of brakes to transfer power from one wheel to another.
So that 40:60 ratio suggests to me that the front brakes are always being applied to shift 10% of the power to the rear. Does not sound very fuel efficient to me.

Okay, so I was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom at work just a few minutes ago and I happen to see crawling across the floor one of the biggest cockroaches I had seen in a very long time. Needless to say I finished my business quickly. Now this thing reminded me of the ones we would see running across the floor in the dining facility during basic training in San Antonio, Texas. To give you an idea how big they were, they were prehistoric. They could take down a small bird if they wanted too. This thing was just as big. I get up and start to pull my pants up and zip and button them when this thing starts heading towards me. So I move and it starts following me around the bathroom stall. Now I'm thinking WTF. I get my pants situated and step on it, only it ain't dead. REALLY?!? It runs to the corner then comes running back at me so I go out the stall and it's following me and I step on it again. I hear a squish. I move my foot and yep I opened it up but the MF is still alive, moving a little slower, mind you, so I step one more time and this time it finally died. Now this is insane. They should not be so hard to kill or so freaking big.
A little info about cockroaches for you. Cockroaches are insects of which about 30 species out of 4,500 total are associated with human habitations. About four species are well known as pests.
Among the best-know pest species are the American cockroach, the German cockroach, the Asian cockroach, and the Oriental cockroach. Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger.
Cockroaches live in a wide range of environments around the world. Pest species of cockroaches adapt readily to a variety of environments, but prefer warm conditions found within buildings. Many tropical species prefer even warmer environments and do not fare well in the average household.
The spines on the legs were earlier considered to be sensory, but observations of their locomotion on sand and wire meshes have demonstrated that they help in locomotion on difficult terrain. The structures have been used as inspiration for robotic legs.
Cockroaches leave chemical trails in their feces as well as emitting airborne pheromones for swarming and mating. These chemical trails transmit bacteria on surfaces. Other cockroaches will follow these trails to discover sources of food and water, and also discover where other cockroaches are hiding. Thus, cockroaches can exhibit emergent behavior, in which group or swarm behavior emerges from a simple set of individual interactions. Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal and will run away when exposed to light. A peculiar exception is the Asian cockroach, which is attracted to light.
Cockroaches are generally rather large insects. Most species are about the size of a thumbnail, but several species are bigger. The world's heaviest cockroach is the Australian giant burrowing cockroach, which can reach 9 centimetres (3.5 in) in length and weigh more than 30 grams (1.1 oz). Comparable in size is the Central American giant cockroach, which grows to a similar length but is not as heavy.
Female cockroaches are sometimes seen carrying egg cases on the end of their abdomen; the egg case of the German cockroach holds about 30 to 40 long, thin eggs, packed like frankfurters in the case called an ootheca. The egg capsule may take more than five hours to lay and is initially bright white in color. The eggs are hatched from the combined pressure of the hatchlings gulping air. The hatchlings are initially bright white nymphs and continue inflating themselves with air, becoming harder and darker within about four hours. Their transient white stage while hatching and later while moltinig has led many to claim the existence of albino cockroaches.
A female German cockroach carries an egg capsule containing around 40 eggs. She drops the capsule prior to hatching, though live births do occur in rare instances. Development from eggs to adults takes 3 to 4 months. Cockroaches live up to a year. The female may produce up to eight egg cases in a lifetime; in favorable conditions, she can produce 300 to 400 offspring. Other species of cockroach, however, can produce an extremely high number of eggs in a lifetime; in some cases a female needs to be impregnated only once to be able to lay eggs for the rest of her life. Aside from the famous hissing noise, some cockroaches (including a species in Florida) will make a chirping noise.
Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects on the planet. Some species are capable of remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources like the glue from the back of postage stamps. Some can go without air for 45 minutes. In one experiment, cockroaches were able to recover from being submerged underwater for half an hour.
It is popularly suggested that cockroaches will "inherit the earth" if humanity destroys itself in a nuclear war. Cockroaches do indeed have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates, with the lethal dose perhaps 6 to 15 times that for humans. However, they are not exceptionally radiation-resistant compared to other insects, such as the fruit fly.
The cockroach's ability to withstand radiation better than human beings can be explained through the cell cycle. Cells are most vulnerable to the effects of radiation when they are dividing. A cockroach's cells divide only once each time it molts, which is weekly at most in a juvenile roach. Since not all cockroaches would be molting at the same time, many would be unaffected by an acute burst of radiation, but lingering radioactive fallout would still be harmful.
So this is why I believe we need to find a way to rid our planet of these disqusting, vile creatures for good. They serve no purpose but to infest our homes and spoil our food.

Rain Sense Wipers
Occasionally on a clear day with a clean windshield my wipers will take one swipe and stop for no apparent reason. My dealer says this is normal behavior. Anyone else experience this?

Re: Rain Sense Wipers
I suspect something like an insect could cause it.

Re: Rain Sense Wipers
Rather than let the phantom swipe unnecessarily wear the wipers and possibly scratch the windshield, I simply turn the wipers off until the first drops of rain. I am happy with the rain sense automatically regulating the wiper speed during periods of variable rain intensity which it does quite well.
The phantom swipes could be caused by any dirt, bugs, or even streaks from cleaning the windshield and any attempt to make them less susceptible to the phantom swipes will undoubtedly cause the rain sense to be less responsive to the changes in rain intensity.
My advice is not to complain about a system that seems to work quite well...if Cadillac gets enough complaints they are likely to disable or make the rain sense less responsive like they took away the auto memory for the driver seat and now we must all manually set the memory position.
Re: Rain Sense Wipers
I asked because in 3 years of owning a 2010 luxury it never occurred. I now have a 2013 premium and it has happened several times. It's not an issue that concerns me just one I find odd and was curious if anyone else experienced it. As stated my dealer told me it is normal so perhaps in my case anyway there has been a change to the rain sense since 2010. Thanks for the responses.

You can change the sensitivity to more or less on the stalk. Yes, the phantom wipe is normal with high sensitivity selected.

Creamy Fruit Salad
June 20th, 2016
These Sausage Cheese Muffins are quite versatile. I served them as part of our Easter brunch this year, but I have also served them as a side dish with soup for dinner. I think they would also go well with a salad. The original recipe had a little bit of sugar in it, but I wanted them to be savory and not at all sweet, so I removed the sugar.
They are loaded with all kinds of good things: sausage, cheese, onions, and spices. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Recipe Adapted by Winner Dinners/Origin Unknown
Makes 12 muffins
1 pound Jimmy Dean HOT sausage
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it well with butter or margarine. Don't go lightly here; it needs to be well-buttered. Preheat the oven to 350. Brown the sausage over medium heat, stirring to crumble. Turn the sausage onto a plate covered with paper towels and place another paper towel on top of the sausage to remove as much of the grease as possible; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, thyme, and cayenne papper. Combine the egg, milk, and oil, and then add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Stir in the sausage, cheese, and onion, mixing well.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, dividing the dough evenly so that there will be 12 good-sized muffins. Build them up a little in the middle so that they won't be flat on top. Bake at 350 for about 27 minutes or until done. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing them. You might need to run a knife around the edges of the muffins to help loosen them from the pan.
There's nothing like hot scones right out of the oven. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Just split those babies open and spread them with butter. Make sure it's real butter. Absolutely delicious! These particular scones are filled with chunks of sharp cheddar cheese and fresh minced dill, and the dough is so easy to work with. Just roll it out so that it's about 3/4 of an inch thick.
Then cut the dough into 4-inch squares, and cut the squares diagonally so that your scones are in the shape of triangles. Transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Then brush them with an egg wash.
Bake them in the oven for 20-23 minutes, and they turn out perfectly. I like how some of the chunks of cheese melt out of the scones and get a little bit crunchy.
These are wonderful, and not very difficult to make. I think you're gonna like them!
Recipe by Barefoot Contessa/Slightly Adapted by Winner Dinners
Makes about 16 scones
4 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 pound (3 sticks) butter, diced
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound extra-sharp cheddar cheese, small-diced
1 cup (about 1.3 ounces) minced fresh dill
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash
Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and add them to the flour and butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Toss together the cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Transfer the triangles to baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes, or until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.
I like serving cornbread as a side dish with homemade soups, especially soups made with dried beans or lentils such as Slow-Cooker Split Pea Soup. I used to just use the recipe on the back of the box of cornmeal, and it was alright. But one day I came across a recipe for "Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread" at AllRecipes.com. It had a 5-star rating, so I decided to give it a try. It's definitely better than the recipe on the cornmeal box, which makes me wonder why it is that when you use recipes from the backs of boxes, bottles, cans, and jars, they're just okay. It seems like when a company makes a product, they ought to have the very best recipe of all. They should know how to use their product better than anybody else, but I certainly haven't found that to be true. For instance, if you make chocolate chip cookies, and you use a recipe on the back of the package, you'll end up with some good cookies, but are they the best chocolate chip cookies you've ever had? Definitely not.
Anyway, if you've made cornbread in the past and you've always used a package recipe, try this one. I think you'll agree it's better. And be sure to serve it warm with butter and honey!!!
Recipe from AllRecipes.com/Adapted by Winner Dinners
Serves about 8
1/2 cup butter, melted
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat the oven to 400. Grease well an 8-inch square pan, or if using a cast iron skillet, coat the bottom and sides of the pan with a tablespoon of oil. Combine the melted butter and the sugar. Add the buttermilk, mixing well, and then mix in the eggs. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, and then add them to the buttermilk mixture. Stir until well blended and few lumps remain. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through.

Thats the beauty of have a thinner magazine. You can go with a thicker rod.
When you use a standard ak 47 mag, it takes up more space thus having to go with a thinner style one.
Being mine was a 74, it gave me more room, so I got to use a .078 thick rod.
Plus you have eliminated those four rivets for the mag catch, so it's smooth sailing for the rod you use.
That is going to turn out REAL SWEET!
I am glad I'm not the only bullpup lover around.
Good job! Goood Job!!

Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have engineered the first strains of e.coli bacteria that can digest switchgrass biomass and synthesize its sugars into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. And all without having to add expensive enzyme additives.
The upshot? The cost of switchgrass-based biofuel could be greatly reduced and help it compete with fossil fuel-based transportation fuels. JBEI CEO Jay Keasling explained in a recent announcement the use of e.coli has allowed researchers to "reduce fuel production costs by consolidating two steps — depolymerizing cellulose and hemicellulose into sugars and fermenting the sugars into fuels — into a single step or one-pot operation."
This research milestone, which was announced two weeks ago, comes at a time when switchgrass continues to gain credibility as a viable next-generation cellulosic feedstock. A new research review published today in GCB Bioenergy not only confirms the viability of switchgrass, but adds that it may have greater carbon emission fighting abilities than other alternatives.

In 'Contemplation on the run', Paula picks up on my themes of reverie, creativity and 'flow', and also (and like Mark Rowlands) notes the importance of play:
don't forget the sense of freedom that can come with breaking into a run, especially after a day stuck to an office chair. Although Young gets his own after-work buzz from sprinting up and down hills, he is not suggesting we all do the same. Instead his advice is to just run as fast as you can for as long as you can. This is exactly what kids do - it's just that when they run around we don't call it exercise, we call it play.(Photo: Jeff Drongowski)

The 1951 regular baseball season was as good as over. The Brooklyn Dodgers led the New York Giants by three runs with just three outs to go in their third and final playoff game. Not once in the 278 preceding playoff and World Series games had a team overcome a three-run deficit in the ninth inning. But New York rallied, and at 3:58 pm on October 3, 1951, Bobby Thomson hit a home run off Ralph Branca. The Giants won the pennant. "The Echoing Green" follows the reverberations of that one moment from the West Wing of the White House to the Sing Sing death house to the Polo Grounds clubhouse where, in Harlem, a home run forever turned hitter and pitcher to hero and goat.
It was also in that center-field block of concrete where, after a home run, one of the Giant's coaches tucked away a Wollensak telescope. The spyglass would remain undiscovered until 2001 when Joshua Prager laid bare on the front page of the "Wall Street Journal" a Giant secret: from July 20, 1951, through the very day of the legendary game, the orange and black stole the finger signals of opposing catchers. "The Echoing Green" places that revelation at the heart of a larger story, recreating in extravagant detail the 1951 pennant race and illuminating as never before the impact of both one moment and a long-guarded secret on the lives of Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca.
A wonderfully evocative image of the great American pastime, "The Echoing Green" is baseball history, social history and biography -- an irresistible story from any angle.

AN ELDERLY man suffered smoke inhalation and his cat required oxygen following a kitchen fire at Edwardstown this afternoon.
Right firefighters were called to the blaze in a house on Deloraine Rd just after 3.30pm and took about 15 minutes to extinguish the blaze which they believe was caused from oil left on the stove top.
On arrival they saw smoke issuing from the roof.
The blaze was contained to the kitchen and roof but caused smoke damage to most of the home. An MFS spokesperson said the damage bill to the smoke-logged home was estimated to be between $10,000-$15,000.
"The elderly resident was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation," she said.
"Firefighters also rescued his pet cat which was treated with oxygen at the scene."

If the engine is running or not should not impact the voltage drop across the resistor. The voltage at the coil side of the resistor should always be less than the feed side.It sounds to me like the alternator is somehow feeding full voltage to the coil through another connection.
Start the car with the alternator disconnected and see if you still have a voltage difference across the resistor. If you do you need to track down how the alternator is back feeding.
Could be as simple as an incorrectly wired ignition switch.
An easy test would be to disconnect the everything from the + side of the coil except the wire from the resistor and run a temporary feed from the battery to the other side of the resistor and start the car. See if the voltages are normal (14 on feed side and ~9 on coil side)at that point. If this looks normal with the car running look at the second wire you had disconnected with the car running and see if there is voltage on it. There should not be. It should only have voltage while cranking. If there is voltage there you need to find out why. Could be as simple as the connection on the starter, which is where this should go is somehow shorted to the battery lug.

In the fall of 2008 I stumbled across what I thought was a bad idea, the Go Plate. I wrote a post about what I thought about the product and why I thought it was a bad idea. The two major reasons were that you could not drink your beverage while using it and it was too small.
Well, the owner of the company found my post and quickly fired off an email to me. He told me that I should try the plate out and I would see I was wrong about it. He then asked for my address and sent me a few plates.
Last night on Bacon LIVE Sean and I used the Go Plates during the show. We both thought they were sturdy and fit securely on our beer bottles. When I first saw these last year I would have thought they would be a mess to use, this was not the case. They worked as adversities.
My only complaint was that they didn't work as well with cups. When I switched to a cup during the show I felt that if I have had more food on one side of the plate it would fall off. Sean, on the other hand, didn't like the fact that you couldn't take a drink while using the Go Plate. This was my major gripe last year. He thought it should come with some kind of straw for your beer/drink. Other than that we enjoyed using the plate.
Closing Comments: Anyone who tailgates knows it's hard to juggle a plate and beer at the same time. The Go Plate does a really good job making that manageable. It does have a few limitations with fitting cups and portion size, but overall it's a no brainer for outdoor eating with no table options.

AN AUTOPSY on the tiny body of three-month-old Akielah Gill who was found dead at her Sea Lots home on Friday revealed yesterday that she choked to death on her own vomit. The autopsy was carried out yesterday at the Forensic Science Centre by Pathologist Dr Hughvon des Vignes after the babys body was identified by her mother Nicole Manswell.
Police officers probing the death of the child have classified it as accidental. Funeral arrangements for the baby are yet to be finalised.

The good times and the bad
Entertainment Reporter
Page Tools
No mistaking it, Delta is gold.
Photo: Justin Goff
Her teenage years are not over until Tuesday. But she is already the highest-selling Australian artist of 2004 with her debut album Innocent Eyes.
She has fought and beaten cancer and had one of the most highly publicised romances and break-ups.
Delta Goodrem turns 20 this week and today is set to release her much-anticipated second album.
In today's Sunday Life Magazine in The Sunday Age, Goodrem talks of the good times and bad that have characterised her life.
On her battle with Hodgkin's disease, Goodrem said: "I was the most scared I've been in my life; trying to cope with the fact that I was 18 and they just told me I had cancer."
Goodrem has revealed she is nervous about how the album will be received, following her high-profile split with Melbourne tennis player Mark Philippoussis.
"I'm nervous because it's a funny time," she said. "But I'm not nervous about the music at all."
The singer is Australia's biggest-selling female artist, but the release of Mistaken Identity is expected to cement her position as the nation's most successful musician.
The album is Sony Music Australia's highest-priority release of the year, and will be one of their final big-name releases before the company merges with BMG early next month.
But the multimillion-dollar marketing plan for Goodrem's new album went slightly awry with news of her split with Philippoussis. Goodrem has spent much of the past week performing promotional duties in London, including launching the single Out of the Blue, a love song written for Philippoussis.
The singer said she poured out her heart in the song because "I couldn't stand there and sing something I wasn't feeling".
Goodrem is expected to return to Australia tomorrow in time to promote the local release of her new album. She will perform on radio and television programs, and is expected to announce a live appearance at Channel [V] in Sydney's Fox Studios.
The singer was unable to tour with her smash-hit songs from Innocent Eyes (an album which produced five No. 1 singles) after being diagnosed with cancer last year.
Her tour is expected to encompass songs from her first and second albums, and is likely to be one of the hottest concert tickets of 2005.
