Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:29pm
Lacrosse players throughout the country are relying on Code Blue to get them through tough workouts and long games. Justin Smith, a professional lacrosse player for the Boston Cannons drinks Code Blue before and after daily workouts. Justin aka "Smitty" believes in the brand, and has joined the Code Blue Team. Smitty will appear at various Code Blue events throughout the next year.
Smitty has been playing Professional Lacrosse for the last six years. Currently playing on the Boston Cannons at midfield, in 2010 he accumulated 24 points, along with two game-winning goals. Justin attended and played lacrosse at Salisbury University and graduated with a communications and business minor. He was a two-time first team USILA All-American, named Division III Player of the Year in 2005, as well as Division III Midfield of the year.
He also won 3 consecutive National Championships, ending his college career with a 49 game winning streak. After Salisbury, Smitty began his professional lacrosse playing career with the Rochester Rattlers before ending his season early with an ACL injury. After battling back from a knee injury from hours upon hours of hard work and recovery, Justin Smith went onto lead the Philadelphia Barrage to 2 major league lacrosse championships in 3 seasons.
Smitty currently works for Mueller Corporation based in East Bridgewater, Mass. while still living in Annapolis, MD. He is changing the face of the game with what is simply known as "chroming." His intuitive ideas have now come to life on the lacrosse field. Be sure to check how he is chroming the sporting industry in the links below.
Justin works hard and plays hard, and knows the benefits of drinking Code Blue before and after his workout routines.
"I love Code Blue because it tastes phenomenal; it's all natural and hydrates the heck out of you. Electrolytes, inflammation recovery … it doesn't get any better as far as hydrating drinks go," he says.
You can catch Smitty dominating the field during the upcoming MLL Boston Cannons season, spring/summer 2011, all the while, drinking Code Blue.

Do Firms Care When Women Bolt?

What's being said
I agree that there is more to whether law firms care about losing women lawyers. Yes, it has to do with the costs of attrition and also client preferences for diversity (as noted below), and it also has to do with safeguarding law firm succession plans. I write about all of these things and more in my book Best Friends at the Bar: Top-Down Leadership for Women Lawyers (Wolters Kluwer Law & Business/Aspen Publishers, 2015). Until law firms understand this combination of factors and take them all seriously, we are going to continue to stall at the same statistics for retention and advancement of women lawyers that we have been seeing for at least ten years.
Firms will likely care MORE when they are required to by the clients. We've heard it. For example, during Legal Week last week. MetLife GC - Ricardo Anzaldua stated during a panal discussion that team diversity matters to his organization when selecting a firm to address a matter. Thank you for expanding the conversation Vivia.

Is It Ethical to Shop Across State Lines to Save on Sales Tax?
Q: Can I buy something in another state and ship it to myself to avoid paying sales tax?
A: If you shop at a brick-and-mortar store in one of the five sales tax–free states—Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon—feel free to make your purchases, then take the goods with you or have them shipped. It's legal and appropriate, says Lauren Bloom, a business-ethics consultant in Springfield, Virginia. But take note: If you habitually engage in such sprees, you might end up owing some or all of those sales-tax savings to your home state. "In Missouri, for example, residents must report tax-free purchases that total more than $2,000 annually and pay at least a 4.2 percent use tax on them," says Michael Brennan, the owner of the Brennan Group, a tax-consulting firm in St. Louis. (Check with your state's department of revenue for its policy.) If you skip reporting and paying, you might not get caught, but your behavior is unethical, says Bloom. And if scores of others follow suit, your state could be forced to raise its sales tax in the future.
When it comes to shopping online, you're entitled to buy tax-free "as long as the retailer has no physical presence in your state—meaning salespeople, storefronts, a warehouse, an office, or outlets," says Brennan. But what if you have a pal in Montana? Can you have your purchase shipped to her house, then have her send it along to you? In theory, you can, says Bloom: "But her home is not the final destination, so it's still an ethical breach." And by the time you add in the extra shipping, you may not save enough to make it worthwhile.

SPAN kicks off Idaho Lives Program
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - The Suicide Prevention Action Network met Wednesday to kick off its Idaho Lives Program. Mental health professionals from all over eastern Idaho attended the meeting. SPAN executive director Jeni Griffin said the idea is to first train professionals, then teachers, students, and eventually the general public.
"This is helping to train youth to be able to identify within their own social circles, anybody that may be at risk and then they can go to a trusted adult that has been trained of the warning signs," she said.
Following this trickle-down effect will help prevent suicidal events before those at risk act, leading them to hospitals staffed with people like State Hospital South's Clinician, Marty Cooke. He said he wants to be on the front lines to combat this disease.
"It's important to feel like you have the skills and the tools to help those people so you can avoid some of those events, before they end up in the hospital," he said.
According to the Center of Disease Control, Idaho had the sixth-highest suicide rate in the country, which was 49 percent higher than the national average. People over the age of 35 have a higher risk.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Why did the chicken cross 60th Street?
The invisible wall at 60th Street that separates Wauwatosa from, well, That Other Place, has been breached again, raising concerns about the city's security.
Only this time, it's a chicken, whose Milwaukee owner or owners were really too "irresponsible" for the privilege of chicken-owning. Probably they were single mothers, too, and we all know that alone is grounds for declaring chicken neglect.
Not that anyone is stepping up to provide foster lodgings. Though I'm told a woman in Mad City, home of all sorts of irresponsible hope-and-dreamy sorts, will rescue any chicken! She probably has scores and scores of them, and someone's probably cooking up an ordinance to ban excess broods, especially if overseen by single women.
(If any chickens are reading this, I apologize for the use of "cooking up," but I'm sure you are used to it by now.)
While our alders are debating chicken ordinances, I propose they write one to provide one-way tickets out of town for interlopers to keep our streets clear of the menace of border-crossing chickens.
Alder Dennis McBride, who is one of my favorite council people ever but who may be stressed by his new responsibilities as council president, is very troubled by the prospect of chickens in Tosa. "I'd rather keep police officers and fire fighters than have fresh eggs," he exclaimed.
Who knew that the city's budget deliberations were so serious that they were considering replacing essential services with commercial agricultural operations?
If they do "go there," I have the perfect location: the Eschweiler Buildings on the County Grounds. What better use for an old ag school that's been neglected by all but birds, vermin, SWAT teams, and vandals? A little bit of ruin shouldn't put the chickens off their laying. Let Tosa's chickens finally come home to roost there!
The "more staff" McBride and others are worried about would pay for themselves by proper husbandry. Throw in a few beef cattle and you might even have a profit center!
As to backyard chickens, I'm guessing the burden in regulation would not be so vast as we fear. And most of the people who'd want them would be on my western side of town, where you'd hardly notice as long as you banned roosters. They are noisy and more likely than the females to stray across the borders.
Come to think of it, the next step toward safety might be limiting numbers of males of all species in our town. Except, of course, for occasional ceremonial events that I blush to describe.
(I will admit that the idea of my chickens braving Underwood Creek to illegally enter Elm Grove and find underpaid labor there is one of the reasons I long to become a chicken lady. . .)

Hi all,
I'm writing a LARP event and I plan to include a Sith lord and its minions. I want the caracters to be mysterious and impressive, so I think that a mask would be perfect for them.
I kinda like Darth Nihilus mask and Grievous head, so the mask would be inspired by thes shapes.
When you search for Darth Nihilus mask pictures on the web, one of the first results is a guy's costuming page. One of the pics shows the guy wearing the costume wihtout the mask. The face looks familiar. I've seen him before with a Jayne Cobb's costume. And may be a SW costume. Wait a sec, that's Stormtrooperguy !!!
Antoher result points to a blog of a guy doing Mando stuffs too , and one of the results is a thread here on TDH. So TDH must be the place to find ideas and help for my project !
So, Here's what I want to make:
1 Sith Lord mask and 5 Sith minions, plus 1 broken (lightsaber cut) sith minion mask. All wearable and allowing the wearers to speak and see easely.
3 month to make them
No budget at all
I think I should use papier maché masks technique. I mold a prototype (two, actually), have it covered with papier maché (10 layers) to build a mask, then sand it, prime it and paint it. I wish to avoid using bondo or resin.
Did someone already built such masks ? With quality results (Papier maché looks fine for kids masks, but is it OK if you want a regular and smooth surface ?)

Model 22A Pistols Safety Recall - Smith & Wesson
That's worth a Sticky.
My S&W 22-A is in the serial number range. Thanks for the post!
Happy to say mine is not in the serial # range but the post is much appreciated.
I just picked one up yesterday that I bought last week from a pawn shop owner at a gun show. I had been aware of this recall, but forgot about. Of course, per my luck, mine is included in the recall. But, my luck is improving...when I picked it up at the pawn shop, I checked for the dimple under the slide and confirmed that mine had already been checked/fixed by S&W. Shot it yesterday and it worked like a dream. About 1.5 inches high at 15 feet. I'll check it at 25 yards and see how it is. Might be a fun rabbit plinker.
Well, my neighbor grows her own veggies and all the neighborhood rabbits know it. Drives her crazy. She loves when our cat gets one and drags it over to their deck. I'd be more than willing to thin the herd.
I was making more of a thinly veiled joke on Democrats...oh well
I'm not the smartest computer operator in the world so tell me how to see this recall??? I got on the S&W site listed and don't see anything about any recall. I'm missing something I'm sure.

On lakes throughout the country, touring pros are forced to break down hundreds of acres of stumpfields to find the key stretches that hold the most and biggest fish. For example, on Wheeler Lake's famous Decatur Flats, if they don't get to the key spots first, they'll have to stand idly by and watch as their competitors load the livewells.
Accordingly, Greg Hackney has developed strategies to find the sweet spots in the shortest amount of time. Structural differences are the first clues he looks for. "The best thing is if you can find a ditch or some sort of migration route," Hackney says. But if there's no such "highway," he still wants to find pieces to the puzzle.
"There are certain places where the fish move up on big flats, and the first thing I'll always look for is something irregular," Hackney says. "Whether it's a laydown piece of wood, a tree with limbs, or different species of tree — you need to find something different. I'm looking for something visible, and once I find that, it gets me started." A basic knowledge of the local flora is another good piece of background.
Hackney explains that, "If you see a pine tree, that's normally a hump because they tend to grow on higher ground. It helps to know what kind of trees they are so you can tell one from the other." Once he gets a bite, depth is the next variable to consider. "A lot of times you'll have a big flat and it will have slight variations in depth," he says.
"The bass will have a tendency to hold in the areas that are of similar depth, be it in 2 feet or 4 feet of water." If you put together multiple pieces of the puzzle you've got a good starting point, but there's still more to decipher. "You've got to get bit at least one time to key you into what you're looking for," explains the Louisiana pro. "I'm looking for a pattern within a pattern.
I first want to find what kind of stumps the bass are holding on so I'll pick up a square-billed crankbait, spinnerbait or something I can cover a lot of water with and try to get that first bite." Sometimes the variables reflect minute differences.
There may be a few fish in 2 feet of water but none in 2 1/2. They may want a bait presented around cedar stumps in that depth but not oak stumps or willows. The primary way to discern these differences is to cover a lot of water and stay focused. "Put your head down, go fishing and catch the first one," Hackney says. "That should tell you where most of the bass are located."

Federal debt and deficit
The Stupid Party Strikes Again
It's not enough that Washington Republicans seem bent on signing onto any immigration deal that supposedly helps them with their "image" problem, but why do so many of them want to bash one of Obama's better ideas in his budget: privatizing the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)? Let's see: Barry Goldwater was for this before it was cool, and Ronald Reagan broached the idea in 1981, and was beaten back. Now »
Defense spending cuts — a "paradox" for the left; a conundrum for the right
The Washington Post reports that the defense cuts mandated by the sequester are proving to be a "paradox" for the left. Keith Ellison, the ultra-leftist congressman from Minnesota, says he "feels torn" by the cuts because they further his goal of reducing the money available to the military, but contradict his goal of maximizing government spending. When in doubt, the left these days will tend to opt for government spending, »
A history of Zientism
As we have noted many times, Jeff Sessions has become the Senate's indispensable man on the our ruinous federal debt and deficit. In January Senator Sessions took a look at the role played by then OMB Director Jack Lew in the Obama administration's stage management of the related public relations issues. Not pretty. Lew is not a man constrained by hidebound notions of veracity. Lew proved his worth to President »
Humor About the President's Budget, Intentional and Unintentional
One of these days I will get around to writing about President Obama's proposed budget; Paul has already done so here. In the meantime, here is a humorous video produced by the Free Enterprise Alliance titled "You May Already Be a Loser." I think that if people really understood what the federal government is doing to them, there would be a run on tar and feathers: Now for the unintentional »
Dems Say: Balanced Budget? We Were Just Kidding!
The Senate continues to debate the Democrats' budget, which features massive deficits as far as the eye can see. Tonight Jeff Sessions moved to recommit the budget in order to produce a budget that balances sometime in the next ten years. This is the language of Sessions' motion: Mr. Sessions moves to commit S. Con. Res. 8 back to the Committee on the Budget with instructions to report back no »
The Democrats' Job-Destroying, Wealth-Destroying Budget
Today the Senate passed a mammoth spending bill that will fund the federal government until September, and that locks in the Republicans' sequestration victory. The Senate also debated the Democrats' budget–the first they have proposed after four long years. We have written extensively about the Democrats' budget proposal. It would increase taxes by $1.5 trillion, accelerate federal spending and add $7 trillion to the federal deficit. It is, in other »
Modern Day Xenophon Wanted: The Education of Cyprus?
This semester I taught Xenophon's neglected treatise The Education of Cyrus, which many observers have compared to Machiavelli's Prince. Seems now we could use a modern-day financial Xenophon to update it as The Education of Cyprus, where, according to news out within the hour, there is going to be a four-day "bank holiday" to prevent a total run. We keep being reassured that this is a one-off event; that surely »
Do We Have a Debt Crisis?
After four years, Congressional Democrats have finally produced a budget. The process has proved revealing: the Democrats' budget never balances, increases spending by 62% over ten years, and adds $7 trillion to the national debt despite raising taxes by $1.5 trillion. So Senate Democrats must agree with President Obama that the nation does not face a debt crisis. In an interview yesterday on ABC, Obama repeatedly expressed this conviction: [W]e »
Senate Democrats Finally Unveil Budget
After four long years, the Senate Democrats finally produced a budget this afternoon. They put it off as long as possible, but finally had to make the document public. What is striking about the budget is that it contains absolutely nothing that is new. It calls for more spending, higher taxes, more debt. It never comes close to balancing. It reforms nothing and changes nothing. It simply demands more money »
Krugman Gets Sach'd for a Loss
If there's any establishment economist I dislike almost as much as the egregious Paul Krugman, it would be Jeffery Sachs of Columbia University. Sachs is smug, arrogant, condescending, and has his own list of Epic Fails to match Krugman's (but no Nobel Prize). As our faithful reader RS points out to me often, it would be worth comparing the dreadful economic advice Sachs gave to Russia after the collapse of »
Why conservatives say Obama hasn't proposed meaningful entitlement reform
At Power Line, we maintain, as most conservatives do, that President Obama isn't serious about entitlement reform. But those on the other side of the great political divide are equally insistent that Obama is open to, and in fact has proposed, serious reform of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Who is right? It depends on the meaning of "reform." For, as Yuval Levin shows, although Obama has proposed some cuts, »
How should Republicans game plan Obama's plan B?
So now, with his approval rating tumbling, President Obama suddenly wants to "engage with the Republicans," or at least with selected Republican Senators, with the goal of striking a deal on budgetary/debt issues. How should Republicans react? Anticipating this scenario, I have expressed my view. Most recently, in early February, I wrote: [I]n the unlikely event that Obama shows a willingness to discuss entitlement reform in a serious way, Republicans »
The Day Dawned a Little Brighter Today…
…because last night, President Obama signed an order directing federal agencies to implement the sequester cuts. So this morning, we can breathe a sign of satisfaction as we sip our morning coffee. (Champagne corks may be appropriate, but will have to wait until tonight.) What the sequester shows is that, contrary to the cynical conviction that was all too well justified by experience, government spending can be cut. Republicans don't »
Where Does the Money Go?
With liberals shrieking hysterically at the prospect of small cuts in federal spending–equal to 2 1/2 french fries out of a Big Mac Extra Value Meal–this is an opportune time to talk about where all of that borrowed federal money goes. We are saddling our children with $17 trillion in debt to do what, exactly? Well, we are keeping Barack Obama in the style to which he has become accustomed, »
Barack Obama, Spending Junkie
One would hope that the spectacle the Democrats have made of themselves over the prospect of a modest increase in federal spending for FY 2013 would be enlightening to a lot of voters. The Democrats' craving for federal dollars is not unlike that of a junkie for heroin, and the lengths of dishonesty to which Barack Obama and the Democrats will go to keep the money flowing are likewise reminiscent »
More signs of intelligent life in the House
The Hill reports that key House Republicans seem to be on board with their leadership's plan to pass a six-month government-funding measure that would reflect the budget cuts from the sequester. The absence of such a measure would cause the government to shut down after March 27 when the current stopgap funding bill runs out. House Democrats are expected to oppose the resolution as a protest against the reduced level »
Hey Liberals–How Come No Wealth Tax?
For all of the liberal caterwauling about disparities in wealth, one thing I don't understand is why no one, not even the socialist senator from Vermont Bernie Sanders in full bulging-neck-vein mode, has started channeling Huey Long and calling for a serious wealth tax. After all, even if you raise the top marginal income tax rate back up to the Krugman nirvana level of 91 percent, it won't touch the »

WLAV-FM (96.9 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock music format in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is the dominant classic rock-formatted radio station in the market and is generally a top ten performer in the Grand Rapids ratings. WLAV (AM) went on the air in 1940. In 1949, WLAV-TV 7 signed on, later becoming WOOD-TV 8.
WLAV-FM began broadcasting by 1948. The station was a simulcast of WLAV 1340 in its early days, but began to break the simulcast in the early 1970s to first utilize the syndicated "Love" format with the likes of Brother John and then went live to play AOR music at night. Also for a time in the early 1970s WLAV-FM played oldies under the tag line "Grand Rapids' Goldmine." In 1974, it became western Michigan's first full-time AOR station and was an instant success.[citation needed]
The success lasted for a while, but in the mid-1980s, WLAV began to fall apart.[citation needed] The station was sued for the death of two people and the injury of two people at its popular raft race event. To make matters worse, many of WLAV's top D.J.s began to leave. Morning host Laurie DeYoung left for Baltimore, because she thought it was time to move on.[citation needed] Tony Gates also left, in 1984, after he ran into some trouble.[clarification needed] In 1986 popular morning personality Kevin Matthews left to work in St. Louis.
By the early 1990s, WLAV-FM had begun to tank in the ratings, thanks to increased competition from nascent album rocker WKLQ and classic rocker WJFM. In the spring 1991 Arbitron report, WLAV, which had been a top five station just a year before and had been the #1 station 12+ as recently as fall 1987, fell completely out of the top ten stations 12+, its role as Grand Rapids' top album-rocker having been usurped by WKLQ. On Memorial Day, 1991, the station changed to a modern rock-based format, since it felt that modern rock was the direction that progressive rock was heading in. However, there was a considerable backlash and numerous complaints were received to the radio station because they eradicated a heritage format. By the fall of 1992, WLAV switched back to a more classic rock-driven format and continued refining the format during the 1990s, to success in the ratings. Grand Rapids did get a modern rock station a few years later when WGRD-FM tweaked its format from Top 40 to modern rock.
Citadel Broadcasting acquired the station from Bloomington Broadcasting (doing business as Michigan Media) in 2000. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.[1]

It's been a busy week for New York Jets quarterbacks .
Mark Sanchez threw four interceptions and lost a fumble, Greg McElroy was named the new starter, Tim Tebow felt misled, Sanchez could be traded, Tebow wants to be traded, Michael Vick wants to sign with the team and now Tebow has called it quits with his girlfriend. Tebow broke up with Camilla Belle after two weeks of dating, according to US Weekly.
A source told the gossip magazine, "It just didn't work out." Tebow's week could only get worse at this point if he found out McElroy had stolen Belle's heart, along with his chance to start in the NFL.
It may be for the best. Tebow won't be in New York much longer, and there's not much work for an actress/model in Jacksonville.

Comments for individual derby entries are placed in this thread.
Re: Gonna Make You Lunch
Re: The Gypsy Carts! Fortune and fame await!
My entry for the Fake Band derby. The gypsy Carts!
For those who rock the real oldies.
...sorry if that was a little too cheesy for ya. :P
Re: [url=http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=32839]
Re: Queens of Drama
Please support my alternative rock band, the Queens of Drama.
Re: The E-Muse
Just in time for their "Struggles of the Upper Middle Class" tour.
Give the people what they want, huh?
Personally, i feel this submission is lacking the word bitter somewhere.
Re: Some Band!
WOW!! I love it! Very Rubber Soul...GMV
Re: Union of Crowns
Please support my punk rock trio, Union of Crowns as they embark on their summer tour!
You rule!! Thank so so so so so so much! I love these guys!
A couple people thought asphalt wasn't the best choice, but brown was the only other color that matched the awkward color scheme!
I know people say black doesn't print well on brown, but I faded it out some to check, and I thought the black was minor enough that it looked fine.
Too cute. Looks too much like a lot of your other shirts.
Re: The Gregorians
You thought that all they could do was chant...
With their new hit single "Things that make you go mmmmmmm"
Come on, you're better that that aren't you?
Re: now appearing in Seattle, Portland, NY, San Fran..
JW, you are absolutely hilarious. Dunno if I could actually wear it on the streets though... I fear I would offend.
Reunion Tour! They are sure to be at least as big as Hanson.
This is all in good-natured fun. Moving to Chicago this week and couldn't bring myself to do a serious entry.
Since I live and Work in NYC and can relate to this so much...GMV.
As funny as this is, this better not print.
This is for all those bands out there with a sidewalk instead of a stage. It's on a black tee just in case any filthy hippies actually want to use it. Hides the stains better you know.
This should be rejected just because we have seen this a billion times.
Re: Werewolves Can't Dance
Is that the name of the band? Or is it just a statement?
Re: Slave of the Senses
Very nice illustration. Looks like it could be a real album cover.
Re: The Letterheads
Love it! my favorite one this derby. =)
Re: Dogfish Key Into the Depths World Tour
After a very long hiatus, I'm back. I couldn't resist this derby and finally found a little bit of time I could devote to a design. I did this in a style I call typogRAFFITI or typographyTI or something like that. I was going to do one called Majicman only to find out that was an electronica band in the 1990s. So we have Dogfish Key instead. The band is ready to launch their "Into The Depths" World Tour. Critiques welcome. Thanks for looking and if you like it, please spare a vote. Take care.
Re: The Archaic One (brown)
Pretty cool illustration. Nice.
Nice I like it alot - simple, good green, and clever. It's what I want!
I like the design, but I don't know how well it's going to show up on the shirt. It's very blendy.

I just wish it said something about slaughtering all your favorite classics one day at a time.
Originally, I wanted to do the 80s metal band, Battleaxe, but sadly, their name was already taken. I found a lot of names I wanted to use were already taken. Tough week!
Meh. Wouldn't wear it.
Oh my god you're relentless.

*OFFICIAL* Broadcom Linux driver BCM4312
October 22, 2008
My wireless got messed up for some reason over the weekend. I'd left my laptop over at a friend's for a couple of days while I hung out with my brother, and when I got back and powered it up, wireless was mysteriously not working (maybe NOT mysteriously since I vaguely remember doing a dist-upgrade before shutting down the last time, but anyway). I'd been using ndiswrapper with WinXP drivers I downloaded from the Compaq driver site (my laptop is a Compaq Presario V3000 – Broadcom 4312 Wireless).
Here's what it says from lspci:
01:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01)
If you've got the same controller or laptop, then this might be useful.
So anyway, I tried uninstalling ndiswrapper, reinstalling it, no go. Tried purging all my old ndiswrapper configs and such, grabbed new drivers from Compaq, reinstalled ndiswrapper, and for a while it worked. Then after a few more power cycles, it went missing again. Tried b43-fwcutter, which detected my controllers nicely, but wouldn't let me connect to any wireless networks.
That's when I tried looking for other drivers, other than from the Compaq site (I heard Dell drivers would work as well), in the hopes of using those with my ndiswrapper, when lo and behold! I stumbled upon this bit of news! Oh joy! Excited, I hurried over to their download page here and downloaded the 32-bit version and read the readme while waiting.
Here's the gist of what the instructions were:
Untar the file hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz (hybrid-portsrc-x86_64_5_10_27_6.tar.gz if you're running on a 64-bit kernel) in its own folder:
tar -xvzf hybrid-portsrc-x86_32_5_10_27_6.tar.gz
You should now see this in your directory listing:
Now build the Loadable Kernel Module (LKM) like so:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
Of course, you need to make sure you have all the required kernel headers before building it. Once that's done, your directory listing should look like this:
The magic file we need is wl.ko. Make sure you don't have b43, b43legacy or b43xx loaded by running this:
rmmod bcm43xx; rmmod b43; rmmod b43legacy
And for good measure remove ndiswrapper modules:
rmmod ndiswrapper
Now load the module ieee80211_crypt_tkip:
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip
And finally load the wl.ko module:
insmod wl.ko
Now if you do an ifconfig, you should see wlan0 right after your eth0 and lo devices. Yippee-kay-yay! Test it out by scanning and connecting to a network. If it works, then you might want your module to load upon boot, which is something the Broadcom readme doesn't touch on. Let me school you how.
Copy the wl.ko file to /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/net/wireless/
cp wl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.26-1-686/kernel/net/wireless/
Create the module dependencies:
depmod -a
Try loading your new module!:
modprobe wl
If you get no error on modprobe, then it worked perfectly! Next you have to tell your system to load the module at startup. On my debian system, I do this by editing the file /etc/modules to include the following:
Now, reboot and you've got official Broadcom wifi goodness! Hooray! Ubuntu 8.10 (due out the end of this month) will have this driver bundled with it, here's hoping that Debian will have it in its repositories soon! Of course, all the above was done on my GNU/Debian Lenny/Sid system, so let me know if you tried it out on yours and tell me how it worked for you. Cheers!

"Monastic charm, modern elegance"
- Zagat
A former Benedictine monastery, the Priory is a 42 room family owned and operated boutique hotel nestled in the historic Deutschtown section of Pittsburgh's North Side -- an easy walk to downtown Pittsburgh, PNC Park, the Andy Warhol Museum, and Heinz Field. Built in 1888, the Priory's then-25 guestrooms were lovingly restored to 19th century elegance by the Graf family in 1986, weaving Edwardian era antiques and reproductions to accent the building's remarkable architectural and interior design features.
In 2011, the Graf family unveiled the Priory Hotel's new wing, a $2.7 million project which added 17 guestrooms to the existing property and which seamlessly blended the new construction with the original building. The construction project also added a new, larger front desk and a cozy pub -- the Monks' Bar – in the original building. Last, the project debuted a brand new Fitness Center and Business Center, as well as state of the art meeting space in the new wing.
The Priory Hotel also boasts one of the region's premier ballrooms, the Grand Hall at the Priory Hotel, which is set in the adjoining former church, hosting numerous business events, weddings and charity functions.
And while the Priory's physical characteristics create a memorable experience, it is our service and attention to detail which set us apart. Our guests are treated as individuals, not just another number among the faceless masses circulating through the lobby. If we can help, we will.
Is the Priory a unique experience? Just ask the experts:
"The high tech additions notwithstanding, the look and feel of the Priory is distinctly historic. Rooms are filled with 19th and early 19th century antiques and period reproductions. Fourteen foot high ceilings and natural woodwork are elegant features missing from more contemporary architecture." - Susan Glaser, Cleveland Plain Dealer
"A Top Ten Hidden Gem, " - Hotels.com
"The Priory achieves the deft trick of gathering visitors within its embrace without the smothering gentility of some [unique lodging]. While the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, you don't feel as though you have to worry about wiping your feet." - William Loeffler, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review

A Burst of Energy
Approximately once a month, I get a huge burst of energy which I typically lack. By "lack of energy" I mean, really, negative amounts of energy. When I get this surge of vitality I actually wake up early all by myself. I beat the kids up. NO. I do not beat my kids up. Ever. Ahem. I meant to say, I awake earlier than my children. Gosh, English can be tricky. :s
Where was I?? That totally killed my train of thought… hrmmm….
Oh yes. As I was saying, when I have these glorious moments of energized, uh, energy (?? see, English is hard!), I try to take advantage of it and go go go until the going is gone. It's a temporary, likely hormonal, rush that is running on limited time. This morning I woke up at 6:00 a.m., fresh with whole new homeschool worries and anxieties on my mind. (And now, the ability to speak English seems like a limiting factor in my daughter's schooling experience.) Soon, I was rearranging the living room. It was on my list of things to do but the list gets longer and longer and rarely does the doing get done!
The rearranging commenced. I had to move the book shelf over to the other side of the computer desk. It was in a dark and dusty corner and I wanted this year's curriculum on it and I wanted it to be within arm's reach of the table. All the better for the lazy homeschooler, yes? All of a sudden I was playing musical furniture–a very heavy game–and moving this stuff into that shelf, moving that shelf over here, moving the stuff that was on that shelf into that box that I just dumped out, then moving that stuff that's now dumped into that storage tote I just emptied, and on and on and on and on….
The ironic thing is, I went to all this work despite the fact that we're still hoping to move soon. (No word on that front, unfortunately.) Just your typical small-house-juggling-to-educate-your-kids-at-home switcheroo.
Do you ever feel the urge to rearrange your house allatonceinabigbigrush, or do you like to reorganize a bit more… methodically?
Slacker Mom Does Dishes #Sponsored
Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom CentralConsulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
Recently I had the opportunity to participate in a review for Cascade Platinum Pacs, a nifty 'all-in-one' dishwashing detergent. I'm not a fan of doing the dishes (it's almost the worst chore ever, except for laundry, which is the worst), so my ears perked up at the claims:
- Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
- Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
- Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water
- Delivers exceptional dishware shine
Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes? Hmm. My kids have no qualms about shoving plates in the dishwasher till smeared with ranch dressing and spaghetti sauce. In my aging crappy dishwasher, this has always led to a second wash and a severe "you must rinse the dishes first!" lecture. I have never not rinsed my dishes because as much as I hate the dishes (and I really, really do hate doing the dishes), I know that neglecting the pre-wash will result in nasty dishes.
Imagine my surprise when the new Cascade Platinum Pacs actually worked, thanks to their triple acting formula. It worked on the spaghetti sauce, it worked on the container of leftovers that had been in the fridge way too long (scraped off then placed in the dishwasher), and it almost worked on that big gob of peanut butter on a spoon someone tossed in to wash. {Okay, it was me.} The glasses were shiny and for the first time I realized how not shiny they had been previously. Even the peanut butter coated spoon was nearly streak free. Did I mention I even ran my dishwasher on the lightest cycle? I tend to migrate towards the cheapy dishwasher detergent, but I'm seriously considering switching. Something that makes loading the dishes less of a chore is well worth the cost. This detergent is totally slacker mom approved!
Cascade is hosting an Instagram contest! If you're on Instagram (and you should be!), you'll definitely want to check it out. The grand prize is a kitchen makeover! Go here to register and see all the details.
Each week, two contestants will be selected to receive a brand new Whirlpool dishwasher. Additionally, one lucky grand prize winner will receive a Platinum kitchen makeover!
To win, users have to both register and upload a photo with the #MyPlatinum hashtag and tag @MyCascade. Participants that have not registered will be disqualified from winning. Each week will have a 6-‐day entry period where Instagram users can enter the contest with their #MyPlatinum Photo.

Looking on the Bright Side.
Over the last 30+ days, I've somehow developed the habit–a real live actual habit–of keeping my dishes washed. This is nothing short of a miracle in my book. In the course of my entire married life, I have almost always had a sink full of dirty dishes and a dishwasher full of dishes needing to be put away.
The routine was this: my son loads the dishes after dinner (with his sisters helping to clear the table and bring him the dishes). If not full after dinner, I would continue to load the dishes throughout the following day. Sometime in the early afternoon, I would wash and unload the dishes. Something about knowing someone else would load the dishes if I got the previous load washed and unloaded was really motivating.
Something else that helped? Enforcing the rule: no dirty dishes in the sink! It is utterly depressing facing a sink so full of dishes that it's next to impossible to rinse and load.
Notice I've been using the past tense here? Well, naturally, this week my dishwasher stopped working.
Crap. Crap crap crappity crap.
To avoid a full blown panic, I did two things. First, I went into Frugal Dish Mode. Dishes were only used as a last resort. Everything was rinsed and stacked neatly beside the sink immediately. (I'm not handwashing crusty nasty dishes here people.) Lunch was on paper towels, and dinner used only the bare minimum of dishes, and only after foraging for a few paper plates I had stuffed in the back of my pantry.
Second: I looked on the bright side.
After all, at least it wasn't my sink that stopped working. That would have been a disaster.
At least my sink wasn't already overflowing with dirty dishes–I could have been a full load behind.
At least I had those two paper plates leftover.
At least my husband can fix most dishwasher issues, so we don't have to pay a repairman.
At least I have a dishwasher!
Hey, at least I have a husband.
At least half of my kids are old enough they can wash a few dishes themselves.
At least I wasn't out of dish soap.
At least I was kindasorta caught up on laundry so I had clean dishrags.
At least it wasn't my washer that was broken.
At least we're all healthy.
At least I have all of my appendages, all the better to hand wash dishes!
My husband didn't have time to fix the dishwasher within the first 24 hours, but the following night he looked at it. He pulled it out, looked at some switches or something, figured out which switch wasn't allowing water to run, and switched it.
Dishwasher = fixed.
All without my habit falling apart completely.
Have you ever had a vital appliance go down? How did you handle it?
7- No, 8!- Things I Want You To Know.
Long time no see. There's been a lot going on. Life and stuff. I may have forgotten I have a blog. Just for a tiny bit. Can't promise that's been remedied. Going to give you an update, list style. Here we go.
- My baby girl turned three. I'm not a fan of her getting big (she was the best two year old ever, I kinda just want to squish all that cuteness down and stay all squishy and hilarious and little forever). If she gets big, I have no baby. Then I might want a baby. I DO NOT WANT A BABY. I DO NOT WANT A BABY.
- I mopped my floor today. Serious sanitizing style. We have been sick, sick, sick. By the time everyone has been sick, we all get sick with something else. Much more sanitizing to be done. Maybe.
- I made a quilt. I finished it on my daughter's birthday. Tutorial coming soon, probably, perhaps, because I'm so stinking proud of this quilt. It's ridiculous in its cuteness, much like its intended recipient.
- Playdates. Not a fan. I feel like once the friend is six or older, I have to totally clean my house because obviously everyone has a cleaner house than I do. Heaven forbid those six year olds find out.
- Still quilting! In fact, it's way more fun to look on flickr at all the amazingly gorgeous quilts than… well, pretty much anything. Like cleaning. Parenting. Blogging. It can't be helped, there are thousands of them and I must see them all!
- There's a fine line between dirty and disgusting. My bedroom has offically crossed that line and my husband is pleading with me to clean it while he works 60 hours a day. Doesn't he know I have quilts to look at and create?!
- Did you really think I was going to post a picture of my bedroom in its disgusting state? No way. That would be too too too embarrassing.
- I think I broke my tablet. Apparently it's not meant to be used for fanning my face after a mopping spree. Crap.
Huh. There are seven
eight things on that list. That's pretty random.
The end.
Clean Quilt Day
You know those little things in life that shouldn't be special, but are? For example: clean sheet day. This is an unofficial holiday my husband and I celebrate rather infrequently. Don't judge me, but rather than a weekly clean sheet day, we rejoice during my *ahem* bimonthly changing of sheets.
An even bigger holiday? Clean quilt day. As I've been on a quilting kick, I decided it was time to soak our bedroom quilt in Oxiclean and restore it to it's beautiful white, blue, and green condition. The dingy gray, blue and green combo just wasn't doing it for me anymore.
Oxiclean in the tub full of warm water for a few hours yield one nasty tub full of nasty nasty water.
Several hours later, all my bedding was dry, the bed was made, and my room smells lovely. Clean Quilt Day: a very special occasion indeed!

Nigeria has launched a military campaign to flush Islamist militants out of their bases in remote border areas, after President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in the north-east.
Nigerian troops deployed in large numbers, part of a plan to rout an insurgency by the Boko Haram Islamist group that has seized control of parts of the region.
The campaign targets semi-desert areas of the three states in which Mr Jonathan declared an emergency on Tuesday – Borno, Adamawa and Yobe, three of the poorest and most remote in the country. The Islamist insurgency has cost thousands of lives and destabilised Africa's top energy producer since it began in 2009, but it has mostly happened far from economic centres such as Lagos, although the capital Abuja was bombed in 2011 and 2012.
Residents and Reuters reporters saw army trucks carrying soldiers enter Yola and Maiduguri to seek out militants.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday July 8th, 2014 10:17am
The ninth annual Under Armour All-America Lacrosse Classic will take place on Saturday, July 12th at Towson University's Johnny Unitas Stadium. The classic, featuring both a boys and girls senior All-American game, will kick off at 5pm as the top high school seniors in the men's game will take the field. Immediately following at 7:30pm, the women's game will kick off.
Both the North and South rosters on the women's side feature 23 of the top incoming college freshmen and this week we'll be featuring a number from both squads in our "Getting To Know The Under Armour All-Americans" Q&A series.

TW: I would say winning the regional championship my sophomore year and winning the county championship this past season.
ILW: What are you most looking forward to improving on at the next level?
TW: I look forward to improving everything about my game and becoming a better player each year.
ILW: What is the most exciting game you've ever been a part of?
TW: There have been so many games out of the four years that I will never forget. Some of those games were in basketball, other ones in field hockey, and a few in lacrosse. If I had to choose one game, it'd be the regional championship game for lacrosse my sophomore year. The game was so intense and it was a a hard fought battle all the way until the last whistle.

TW: I was shocked and overwhelmed with joy and excitement. I was/am so honored that they picked me to play in the game to represent the area.

TW: I look forward to playing with everyone, but some of the UA players are people who I have had to guard many times over the years such as Megan Whittle and Taylor Hensh, so I really look forward to playing with them rather than playing against them.
ILW: The college recruiting process can be a long one. What was it about UMBC that made you know that it was where you wanted to spend your college days?
TW: Everything that had to do with the school. The education, the team, the program, and the coaches especially. I just knew right away that UMBC was where I wanted to be. The coaches believed in me since day one, and have since supported me throughout my high school career.
ILW: Who are some current college players you're most looking forward to play with and playing against over the next four years?
TW: I look forward to playing against anyone in a different colored jersey. I also look forward to playing with everyone on UMBC. They all have great attitudes and are all great players, so I know I will be learning a lot from them and improving my game.

i agree, avage shipping cost for a set of heads is around 60, i think i paid 58 for the last set of heads i had shipped. "you gotta pay to play" trust me we all understand budget, but if you thought that you could get away will finding a decent set of performance heads (stock or aftermarket) for less than about 300.00 then you were mistaken, and even a 300.00 this is still quite a low number for heads even on a budget build. if you can't spend this i wouldn't recomend that you do as cool rockin daddy mentioned with just putting everything together i would recomend spending some more time saving your money so that you wont end up disapointed once you are done
I've got a set of heads that are about what he's looking for and was thinking of trading them or donating them to the lawsuit auction if I didin't have to pay for the shipping to boot. Anyone know if there is still an auction for the lawsuit deal? Duntov
And by the way, On the home page Jon says StreetBeast has sued him. I think Streetbeast has attacked us all. They're on my list one or two down from Ralph Nader Duntov
whats the deal with the lawsuit? and no 300 bucks won't won't bust the budget but will i know what i'm really getting? thanks for the help dun..... gotta find something soon -really tired of a truck scattered out in a 1500sq ft shop, also got 21 ft baja boat waiting for an engine swap in there....its time to get one of them out! all this on a single mans income with a house he just bought 4 months ago.... so work with me here guys and cut me a little slack, just looking for the best bang for a my buck....thanks
here, i think these are probably the heads that cool rockin daddy was talking about, i wouldn't bid more than 175.00 for them though as they will still need machine work of around 150-200.00 + the 60.00 s/h would put you at round $410.00 this, and 400 bucks is what you can expect to pay for a set of freshly rebuilt double humps around where i live.
i found some heads on ebay and actually bid on some aluminum heads but probably won't win...they were corvette heads and are bolt on ready... winning with 152.50 bid right now, max bid of 175 with 24 hrs left...anyone with 350 heads with 1.94/1.5 valves can contact me at meadowstj80@yahoo
which corvette head?
Reverse Flow???
Hey 87Z, Are there any factory aluminum corvette heads with desirable casting numbers? Our local core supply guy has loads of them and half the ones I dug out were (reverse flow)<<< I know Bad Medicine...
But MORTEC doesn't offer very much info on the factory aluminum numbers, and I haven't found any reliable info anywhere else.
We had several cases of mid-Nineties Trans-Ams, and Corvettes call with overheating nightmares for a while and then it all stopped. I avoided those things ever since. Maybe I missed some good heads because of it. Core guy never seems to know the details; he just wants to sell 'um. Duntov
Aren't there any salvage yards or head exchange shops around there? Last time I went to get a set of 350 heads, I got me a nice fresh set for 140.00 Now that I think about it, It was about 5 years ago. Engine rebuilders usually have some stuff hangin around too.. I don't like ebay.. rather see what i"m getting. Keep searchin- it's half the fun
Reverse Flow???
I want to retract my NO NO smiley temporarily anyway. I've been Google-ing and reading constantly since I posted that, and everything I find about reverse cooling is all good stuff. It's amazing how much a person can miss while deliberately avoiding a given subject for a decade... I don't even know if it's possible to use those heads on a Gen I or II block .
I'm sure some of you guys do.. I think I learn things on this message board that take days of research on my own. I'm glad I signed up Duntov
the reverse coolant flow heads can only be used on the generation II sbc the LT, so that puts them in a very limited catagory. to find a decent corvette head (IMHO) you will have to go back to the late 60's heads. here are the heads that you would want:
461,462,291,292,186,187,041,414 the 487 heads aren't bad either, but the 041 heads are the most saught after due to the accessory holes. and with the 487 heads you have to make sure that they are actually just the 487 heads and not the 487X heads.
corvette heads to stay away from are the 487X, 881,882,545,450, and 624 these were all produced in the 70's at the start of all the emissions crap.
any corvette head after the late 60's/very early 70's being much of any good, i have seen people running the L98 corvette heads from the 80's TPI motor but from what i have read and seen they will need some extensive valve, bowl and port work in order to flow much of a decent number
Hey 87Z,
I think I have all of those heads on the shelf except for the 487X. I've been keeping an eye out for the 487x head for about 5 years. Told my Core Guy I wanted some and he dug out all he had and left a message to come get 'um. I didn't find the message for two or three months and when I showed up over there he couldn't find them. I want some that have never been milled to lower compression and still breath.
Wish I could find a decent aftermarket head with a big chamber. They just must not be marketable at all. I think the distributors must see the market as mostly people who think power is all about compression. I believe most aftermarket heads are bought for the street, and the way I see it a typical 64cc head limits my piston selection somewhat when trying to run pump gas without aggravations. I wouldn't care for a 12 or 13 to one car taking up space in my garage like a trophy, because it's impractical to register and insure it.
I got off subject a bit sorry......What I want to confirm is whether MORTECs listing is correct in re 487x? They for years had the head listed as 80cc. That's why I was looking for 'um. Now everywhere I look people are saying they are 74 or 76cc. Anyone confirm? Went to Mortec to check it out and the're down, and have been for a week or more. What's the deal on that? Duntov.
well the 487X is the heads that the corvette's and all the 350HO cars were using in 72' and although the compression drops started in 71' the major power drop was in 72'. i think the only way you will actually find out the true cc of the 487X chamber is to get a pair and cc them for your self, i would definatly say that they are likely 76cc but i'm not sure about 80cc. but to get a machine shop to open up the chambers is one of the easiest/ cheapest machine work you can have done to a set of heads
Nothing actually wrong with the 487X head, it is a larger intake runner version of the 487 head. Neither are great heads, just the better flowing stock port of the early smogger 70's open chamber heads. Nothing to go looking for IMO and not worth the cost of rebuilding. RHS, Dart or EngineQuest SR/Torquer type head is a much smarter move all the way around.
Chamber cc can vary on any Factory head, usually 1-3 cc bigger than the factory claims. I have yet to find a stock head that I have cc'd actually be what was listed. There might be some that are but I have yet to find one.
i totally agree with this, by the time you get all the work done to the heads you've spent about 500-700.00 bucks on them and they still dont performe as well as either of the heads you mentioned, i would rather spend the extra 200-400.00 on the aftermarket heads. but then of coarse i dont belive in putting a set of heads on a motor right out of the box. so i have always ended up with another 300-700 into the heads before i put them onto the engine
Throw a set of headers on it along w/a true dual exhaust w/an H or X connection between the two sides and you will see upwards of 60-plus HP over the smog heads. The 4WD jazz does present problems plumbing the header on one side.

Anti-riot police unit set up in Khost
KHOST CITY (PAN): An anti-riot police unit of 100 personnel has been set up in southeastern Khost province to deal with protest rallies and control civilians causalities, officials said on Saturday.
The unit was formed within the framework of the provincial police headquarters, the Khost police chief, Abdul Qayyum Baqizoi, told Pajhwok Afghan News. The unit has been equipped with modern weapons and other equipment.
Previously protestors were dispersed by force, involving baton charge and fire into the air, but the unit would use modern equipment to deal with violent protests, Baqizoi said.
During the training course, the personnel had been taught effective mob-control techniques, said Sher Zaman, in charge of the nascent unit. They were ready to discharge their duty in a professional and disciplined manner, he added.
