Every week in this space, we'll take a look at the news and offer our own incisive blend of commentary, analysis, and poop jokes. The news you need, from a voice you can trust, in the 90 seconds you have to spare: that's Woot Weads the Wire.
NASHVILLE (UPI) -- Attendance at a white power conference in Tennessee this weekend is limited to 150 people, organizers say.
Insiders hint panels such as "Making A Battery Out Of Marshmallows" and "Cotton: Where Static Electricity Begins!" will focus on various alternative energy ideas, all designed to draw power from white objects.
ST. LOUIS (UPI) Three men have been arrested for allegedly vandalizing rock 'n' roll musician Chuck Berry's Missouri home and stealing an electric guitar, police said.
Police say his ding-a-ling still remains in mint condition.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11 (UPI) -- Chris Brown's publicist says the U.S. singer's new neck tattoo is not a portrait of his ex-girlfriend Rihanna as Internet buzz has suggested.
Apparently it's just an entirely different terrible idea.
NEW YORK (UPI) -- A New York steakhouse said it is offering a 12-ounce cut of real Japanese Kobe beef, which just recently became available in the United States, for $350.
Inspectors say all previous Kobe beef was still legally branded as such, since it was all apparently made from the ground up clones of Kobe Bryant.
BOSTON, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- The Jewish community in the United States and around the world welcomes the year 5773 when the sun sets Sunday and Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins.
The event went mostly ignored by comedians, because after Jewish people have talked about something for 5773 years, how many undiscovered jokes could possibly be left?

lol... well done.
usually i can take or leave the editorials but this one made me laugh.
Enjoyable, as always
And a nice change of pace from the message boards right now. Yikes.
Just know I still <3 you, Woot.
I love marshmellows and WOOT!
X marks the spot and love is in the air
I read the meaning of the first sentence completely wrong.
Agreeing with the rest, this was one of the better bits in a long while (and they're usually at least amusing), but I also want to point out...
Apparently it's just an entirely different terrible idea.
Ladies and gentlemen, the theme of every staff meeting I've ever been to!
Thank you for the mid-day amusement, Woot! ;)
I came for the funny, but I left being genuinely excited that Japan finally lifted their exportation ban on Kobe beef (Previously, all Kobe Beef bought in America was simply Kobe Style.)

Convenient for La Defense area. Hotel was good value for money. The staff were very good, but checking in time was too long.
Close to La Défense. The parking garage is difficult to access with baggage for a strong person. I would think that a frail person could not manage.
Local to where I was going, good combo internet/pay tv package, good breakfast for france, resonabl eprice slow checkout, they need a kiosk checkout
very expensive considering breakfast is extra cost effective poor rating the price , food poor
"Mercure" parking place
Clean, comfortable, quiet, nice view, friendly staff Rush time when leaving in the morning, wait for breakfast.
small bag with two bottles of water & snacks was given to me for city tour in checking in at reception littel bit long distance from parking space to reception, and small space at lift and stair case, so difficult to carry heavy big luggage. restaurant is closing for dinner
Breakfast: excellent. Hotel design and condition: perfect. Room facilities (safe, a/c, tv, etc.): perfect. Internet access: very convenient. Parking facility existing: ok. But extremely inconvenient: located in a nearby building. From that place to hotel entrance: combination of extremely narrow lift and stairs, very inconvient especially when carrying luggages. No temporary parking possibility in front of hotel entrance and no valet help. When being there first time by car, you are lost.
Clean and efficient.
Helpful staff Very noisy in the reception area and bar due to "tourist groups"
The rooms were small but clean. It was right off the freeway which was convenient and 15 - 20 min walk to metro. Groc, bakery nearby. Well worth the money
The place is clean The price is very atractive It is easy to locate The AC was not working The door of the toilette does not close There is no room service
Convenient location and friendly helpful staff Friend used back stairway on one occasion which was not satisfactory. Bedroom a little on the small side.
The staff is very friendly, the rooms are quite good and clean. Futhermore the prices are prior to the service quality and the standarts of Paris. The hotel is a little outside of the city center, but it is not to difficult to go to the city center.
very clean, the staff is helpfull, near the center, the double room is small for a couble and baby,
the view of the Tour Eiffel, the comfy bed, good shower the fact that a construction site was also in our view of the Eiffel Tower. haha.
Very clean room. It is a 25 minute walk from the metro station.
Nice area with close proximity to Courbevoie & LA Defense at realistic prices. Cleaniness of the hotel room & Fastest FREE WIFI in paris.! Nothing to mention.
cleanless and value of money the choice of transport to the hotel after 10pm is very poor. Only taxi or going by foot is available.
Location, the room was good value, pleasant and had a view. Very helpful and friendly staff. Perfectly adequate for my needs although the mini bar could possibly have been more imaginative.
Staff very cheerful and helpful. Very good price / quality relationship so close to La Defense (15 minute walk). Double room clean & spacious, bed comfortable. Front-facing room had a great view of the Eiffel Tower as well as good noise insulation. Not much to do in the immediate area, wouldn't stay here if I was coming on a sightseeing trip to Paris - at least unless I was prepared to take a cab or metro into the thick of things.

Grant Sabin Does a Number, or Three
By Jake Brownell On December 4, 2012 · 4 Comments · In A Big Something, Art Creates Community, Arts & Culture, Music
If you follow local music in Colorado Springs, then it's likely that you've already encountered Grant Sabin in some capacity. As a founding member of the "Kings of Space" collective (previously featured on The Big Something), guitarist and vocalist in several local bands, and distinctively mustachioed/bearded fellow, his presence is unmistakably felt in the music scene here. If you're not yet familiar with him…well, it's only a matter of time. Sabin is set to release a new album this month–produced in association with the good folks over at Blank Tape Records–and if the tracks that I've heard are any indication, I expect it will be receiving quite a bit of attention in the very near future.
We invited Sabin and his drummer, Alex Koshak (also of the Flumps and Briffaut) into our studio at the Tim Gill Center for Public Media to play a few songs and to talk about the album, "Anthromusicology". Watch the video above, and if you like what you see/hear, consider getting yourself a ticket to see the Grant Sabin Band in all their fully-amplified glory, together with special guests The Haunted Windchimes and Chimney Choir, at Stargazers theater on Friday, December 14th. Tickets are available HERE.

Balancing trade and security
A godsend to kidney-stone sufferers is a machine called a lithotripter, which focuses sound waves to break the stones into smaller fragments that may then be more easily, and less painfully, passed.
Fossil finding new life as a landscape tree
Homeowners may soon be able to own a miniature version of a living fossil thanks to a University of Georgia horticulturist and his research team of high school students.

Caviar is one of the world's most prized delicacies, but overfishing has pushed wild sturgeon to the brink of extinction.
PAWS for a CAUSE
Children enrolled in Coile Middle School and each of the 14 elementary schools in the Clarke County School District are reaping the benefits from PAWS for a CAUSE.
Teaching teachers in the Andes
High in the cloud forests of Ecuador, Georgia public school teachers listened and waited.
Inmates grow food, skills at new garden
Some gardeners shop for the best gloves, hat or kneeling mat. Others gear up by wearing matching outfits and working with whatever tools the warden lets them use for the day
Georgia freshwater fish
This is no fish tale: a new Georgia Museum of Natural History Web site offers the most complete look at Georgia fishes, what they are and where they're found.
Look! Up in the sky!
Pegasus, the mythical winged horse, left more to human history than the fanciful idea of equine flight.
Need for vitamin supplements among Georgia's elderly
A new study by University of Georgia researchers shows that despite the availability of fortified foods, many older adults suffer from deficiencies of vitamin D, calcium and B12, which are critical for optimal bone, blood and nervous system health.
UGA research explores little-known chapter in college desegregation
Many of the battles to desegregate Southern colleges and universities were fought in public, but efforts to desegregate the standardized testing that is often a prerequisite to admission have, until now, received little attention.
Hope that they're still out there
Until credible sightings popped up three years ago, the scientific world was in agreement that ivory-billed woodpeckers had gone the way of the dodo.
Move to Improve
A workplace program that encourages employees to set exercise goals substantially increased workers' physical activity, according to a new study by University of Georgia exercise and health researchers.
Genome sequence shows sorghum's immense potential
Southerners may best know sorghum as sweet, biscuit-topping syrup. But the small grain's uses range from a dependable, drought-tolerant food crop to biofuel source, says a University of Georgia researcher who led a team that recently sequenced the plant's genome.
Monkeying around
When Tchaikovsky penned The Nutcracker, the last thing he probably had in mind was a capuchin monkey.

Rethinking groundwater contamination
A new University of Georgia study suggests that health agencies investigating Salmonella illnesses should consider untreated surface water as a possible source of contamination.

Shelley's "Ozymandias"
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
"Ozymandias", the famous sonnet written by English romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822), was first published in the January 11, 1818 issue of The Examiner in London, and later in Shelley's 1819 collection "Rosalind and Helen, A Modern Eclogue; with Other Poems". It also forms part of a posthumous compilation of his poems published in 1826.
Written in atypical iambic pentameter, "Ozymandias" is said to have been inspired by the British Museum's acquisition of a large fragment of a statue of Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II from the thirteenth-century B.C.E:
Weighing 7.25 tons, this fragment of his statue was cut from a single block of two-coloured granite. He is shown wearing the nemes head-dress surmounted by a cobra diadem.
The sculptor has used a slight variation of normal conventions to relate his work to the viewer, angling the eyes down slightly, so that the statue relates more to those looking at it.
It was retrieved from the mortuary temple of Ramesses at Thebes (the 'Ramesseum') by Giovanni Belzoni in 1816. Belzoni wrote a fascinating account of his struggle to remove it, both literally, given its colossal size, and politically. The hole on the right of the torso is said to have been made by members of Napoleon's expedition to Egypt at the end of the eighteenth century, in an unsuccessful attempt to remove the statue.
Ozymandias also featured prominently in a trailer for an episode of Breaking Bad:
As Katy Waldman at Slate writes,
Here is the joke, says [Romantic scholar Paul] Fry: Confronted by such a tapestry of unreliability, we think we have attained insight into Ozymandias. The sculptor was taken in too, when he tried to commit a version of his ruler to stone. But time warped his handiwork just as surely as it will reframe Shelley's poem, muddle our recollections, and drag the leavings of our own lives through "lone and level sands." (Are you laughing yet?) For Fry, in other words, "Ozymandias" links together a chain of egomaniacs who believe they have arrived at a stable form of knowing. It coaxes us into a glib understanding of its subject that it does not necessarily share—and the trench between that easy, seductive judgment and the truth (whatever it is) is the real irony.
Ramses II has not, actually, been forgotten. Nor was his ghost receding in Shelley's time: The ancient Egyptians fascinated Napoleon, who brought archeologist-historians with him when he invaded Egypt in 1798, and Lord Byron, whose journals are littered with speculation about long-dead civilizations. (In fact, Byron's adventures in Greece, Albania, and Turkey the year before the sonnet was written led Fry to wonder whether this "Napoleon of verse" was the "traveler from an antique land.") And while the 18th-century "relic" poem—of which "Ozymandias" is an exemplar—has a memento mori, all-is-ephemeral vibe, sonnets traditionally celebrate the perseverance of art across centuries, even across the threshold separating life from death. So if Ozymandias and his sculptor were not right, they weren't entirely wrong, either.
So why choose Ozymandias as the theme for my posthumous Blawg Review tribute?
Aside from the obscurity of the multiple perspectives—the anonymity of the story-teller, the traveller and the subject— Shelley's poem presents an intriguing counterpoise to the late Editor of Blawg Review, our beloved "Ed Post". Ed could be the speaker who meets the traveler, or the traveler himself. Ed was peripatetic both in real life and virtual life. He met many of us, yet none, as far as I know, knew him. He travelled extensively and was fond of posting photographs, always obscuring his features, so the eye was forced to see a broader perspective.
One thing does remain. While traditional legal writing in the form of law reviews, case comments and firm newsletters may end up in the dustbin of legal history, legal blogging (blawging) is vital to the future of the legal profession Blawg Review remains a monument to Ed's legacy, his dedication and perseverance. Ed Post was an important part of the Blawgosphere. We may not really know the man, his family or his close friends, but we know Ed through Blawg Review and how it brought us together, if only for a time. We, the members of the Blawgosphere, will remember Blawg Review:
Monuments to great kings fade; mighty empires rise, decline and inevitably fall. All that remains is art…and the art of blawging.
And so, dear readers, what follows are some of last week's posts that represent the best of the Blawgosphere:
In a post entitled "Too Much Transparency", Scott Greenfield at Simple Justice exposes the fallibility of judges and judicial-decision making. Highlighting Judge Posner's apparent admission that his decision in the controversial 2007 case involving Indiana's voter ID law was wrong, Scott poses a broader question:
While it's good to know that Judge Posner shares, at least to the extent that serves his interests, a concern about the lack of empiricism in the courtroom, and to that extent his transparency serves to enhance our sense of integrity in the legal system in that the courts may be coming around, it's unfortunate that at the same time, he cut his legs off by backtracking and spinning when butthurt got the better of him.
So while I still maintain that a certain amount of transparency is good and provides a positive benefit, there is a line beyond which a judge shouldn't go. This was it, and the lesson comes at Judge Posner's expense.
Over at slaw.ca, Allan Rouben writes about the fallibility of Law Society of Upper Canada prosecutors following a hearing that lasted over 2 ½ years and 130 days of hearing, ultimately leading to a dismissal of all charges against two Torys LLP lawyers:
The reasons for judgment raise this basic question: Why did the Law Society continue with the prosecution for as long as it did?
No doubt, the Law Society had ample grounds for looking into the matters and perhaps commencing the proceedings. The transactions at issue, particularly the non-competition payments to principals of the company, were under intense scrutiny. However, that is not the end of the matter. Prosecutors have a continuing duty to review the evidence to ensure that the grounds which justified the laying of a charge continue to exist.
Over at The Volokh Conspiracy, Will Baude writes about an amusing, but effective, response from criminal defence counsel to a Tennessee prosecutor in the case of State v. Powell, who had apparently moved to preclude the defense from referring to his side as "the government."
The government has moved to ban the word "government." The State of Tennessee offers precisely zero legal authority for its rather nitpicky position, and the defense can find none. The Plaintiff has failed to carry its burden on this motion. Moreover, the Plaintiff's proposed ban on speech would violate the First Amendment. The motion should be denied.
Should this Court disagree, and feel inclined to let the parties basically pick their own designations and ban words, then the defense has a few additional suggestions for amending the speech code. First, the Defendant no longer wants to be called "the Defendant." This rather archaic term of art, obviously has a fairly negative connotation. It unfairly demeans, and dehumanizes Mr. D.P. The word "defendant" should be banned. At trial, Mr. P. hereby demands to be addressed only by his full name, preceded by the title "Mister."
Alternatively, he may be called simply "the Citizen Accused." This latter title sounds more respectable than the criminal "Defendant." The designation "That innocent man" would also be acceptable.
Moreover, defense counsel does not wish to be referred to as a "lawyer," or a "defense
attorney." Those terms are substantially more prejudicial than probative. See Tenn. R. Evid. 403. Rather, counsel for the Citizen Accused should be referred to primarily as the "Defender of the Innocent." This title seems particularly appropriate, because every Citizen Accused is presumed innocent.
Alternatively, counsel would also accept the designation "Guardian of the Realm."
Further, the Citizen Accused humbly requests an appropriate military title for his own
representative, to match that of the opposing counsel. Whenever addressed by name, the name "Captain Justice" will be appropriate. While less impressive than "General," still, the more humble term seems suitable. After all, the Captain represents only a Citizen Accused, whereas the General represents an entire State.
Along these same lines, even the term "defense" does not sound very likeable. The whole
idea of being defensive, comes across to most people as suspicious. So to prevent the jury from being unfairly misled by this ancient English terminology, the opposition to the Plaintiff hereby names itself "the Resistance." Obviously, this terminology need only extend throughout the duration of the trial — not to any pre-trial motions. During its heroic struggle against the State, the Resistance goes on the attack, not just the defense.
WHEREFORE, Captain Justice, Guardian of the Realm and Leader of the Resistance,
primarily asks that the Court deny the State's motion, as lacking legal basis. Alternatively, the Citizen Accused moves for an order in limine modifying the speech code as aforementioned, and requiring any other euphemisms and feel-good terms as the Court finds appropriate.
Alice Wooley at slaw.ca writes about the antithesis of ethical lawyering: Lawyers Who Write Bogus Demand Letters: The Freemen in Our Midst?
Rick Horowitz at Probable Cause, in response to Scott Greenfield's post: For Whom The Light Shines, considers the ethos of "Spewing Over Systemic Failure" and remarks,
Because I have been trying to restrain myself from spewing, I have found it hard to blog. Whenever I start to write about something that I think needs to be talked about, the bile begins to boil, and I start to spew.
My experience — I am in courtrooms in California almost every day of the year — is that the system is a complete failure at what it is supposed to be doing. In fact, it is worse than a failure, because it is creating the very thing that it should be trying to prevent: a lawless society.
You see, no one really needs me to say that "if the government will not follow its own laws, neither should anyone else." It's just the natural consequence of an arbitrary system whereby a particular group of people — judges, police officers, prosecutors, politicians, the oligarchs of modern America — lords it over the rest of us. It is what happens as people chafe under those who believe they are our "Overlords."
Mark Bennett, over at Defending People, relates his tremendous victory before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals that "culminated four years of appellate litigation on the unconstitutionality under the First Amendment of the "talking dirty" portion of Texas's "online solicitation of a minor" statute, Texas Penal Code Section 33.021(b)." Mark then outlines "What Happens Next". Kudos to a superb criminal defense lawyer and First Amendment advocate.
The allonymous Gideon at a public defender analyzes the recent reversal of fortune and new trial ordered for Kennedy cousin, Michael Skakel due to the alleged ineffectiveness of counsel by famed celebrity lawyer, Mickey Sherman:
The real question, of course, is whether this will survive appellate review. I think the fact that it clocks in at 136 pages already gives the ruling a strong chance of survival4. Think of the work it will take to undo it. It's possible – and if there ever was a case where it would happen, it would be this – but I think it's somewhat unlikely. Further bolstering its chances are the other parts of the ruling where Judge Bishop finds either that Sherman did nothing wrong or that he did, but it didn't affect the trial.
However one cannot come away without the sense that Sherman's performance was so below par that it fundamentally affected the reliability of the outcome and called into question the fairness of the trial.
And that is something we should all be concerned about, whether the defendant is a Kennedy cousin or just your cousin.
Ken White at Popehat provides an authoritative First Amendment and prior restraint analysis in his post: Alabama Blogger Roger Shuler Arrested For Violation of Unconstitutional Injunction. Ken concludes:
So What?
Why should you care that Roger Shuler — a crazy, creepy, vexatious litigant who may well have defamed Mr. Riley out of political spite — has been arrested for defying an injunction?
You should care because the injunction was absurdly unconstitutional, and apparently derived through raw political power. You should care because such abuses will never be confined to those few people we can all agree are creepy, crazy, and vexatious. You should care because every time they are successful such abuses become easier and more common. You should care because each such case is another line in a footnote in thenext prior restraint order by the next Judge Neilson urged by the nextRiley, prohibiting someone else on pain of jail from speaking. You should care because each such case emboldens and encourages plaintiffs to seek prior restraint against criticism. You should care because in our legal system no man is an island, and each man's censorship diminishes our collective right to speak, because we are all involved in the legal norms that protect freedom.
I hope that Roger Shuler's case will attract attention and some competent counsel. Orders such as Judge Neilson's should not issue without consequence — whether that consequence is reversal or infamy. Mr. Riley should get his day in court, and should — if he can convince a jury that Roger Shuler defamed him — collect appropriate relief. But we should not stand by while he obtains prior restraint that weakens all of our rights.
By the way, though Roger Shuler wraps himself in the First Amendment and bemoans how defamation suits against him are intended to chill speech, he's a fair-weather friend of free speech. When vexatious litigant and unrepentant domestic terrorist Brett Kimberlin abused the legal system to silence his political opponents, Shuler reacts with amusement and applause — because Kimberlin hates the people Shuler hates and mouths the words Shuler wants to hear. But he wants you to be outraged that political opponents are abusing the court system to silence him. In short, Shuler is a hypocritical asshole. That's okay. In addition to protecting crazy, creepy, vexatious people, the First Amendment also protects hypocritical assholes. Good thing for most of us, really.5
Fellow international litigator, Ted Folkman at Letters Blogatory, comments on a New Jersey jurisdictional decision involving a patent infringement lawsuit against a Quebec defendant. Alas, no reference to poutine, curling or maple syrup may be found in the U.S. District Court decision.
For those with an interest in environmental law, jurisdiction, political intrigue, ghostwriting, bribery and judicial corruption, you need look no further than Ted Folkman's insightful series of posts on the Lago Agrio saga and Chevron's multi-jurisdictional efforts to block enforcement of a $19 Billion Ecuador judgment. Ted's recent post: Lago Agrio: More on the Corroboration of Judge Guerra's Claims is a must read, as is Manuel A. Gómez's post at Opinio Juris called: The "Amparization" of the Justice System in Latin America and International Arbitration.

The Discussion
Good video, like to hear the little history in the beginning. I'm definitely going to have to spend some more time looking into WebMatrix.
Two things: First, you have two #5 episodes for Web Camps TV, the helpers video and the jquery code commit video.
Second, highly recommend watching the Rifftrax (MST3K guys) version of Plan 9 From Outer Space. Absolutely hilarious (on top of an already hilariously bad movie).
@Raiven: yes aware of the #5 thing, backstory - I've been waiting for a while to post the jQuery video so it was originally number 5. Episode #5 came and went and then when it was time to post the jQuery vid, i forgot to update the number will make the change soon.
I'm still convinced you will need a small free hosting suply for student and hobby programmers. The main reason I never really build a website in ASP.NET when I was young was because I knew there was now way to get my creation out there.
There are so many free PHP hosters and html hosters. Why not set up a "DreamSpark" hosting project? Provide students with 50mb of storage on a server capable of running RAZOR syntax.
We have a project comming up in school, and the reason we will not be working with ASP.NET is because ones the project is done, we can't really show it off anywhere.
@CKurt: right now all the hosters that support WebMatrix are free. We are also working with hosters on providing free/cheap hosting for students and hobbyists.
Dude, Firefox??? I understand test cases with different browsers, but Firefox as default browser in MS, that looks BAD!!!
@Azebro: careful or you'll get Erik fired
@Azebro: I'm waiting for IE 9.

I agree on this. Although discountdotnet is actually pretty cheap, I still hope something like this for the general public. And once we build it, probably some kind of tutorial about migrating to paid hosts.
Feedback, please refresh the page if it has been modified elsewhere. I sometimes use VS and when I come back, WebMatrix is having the old version. What is worse is it saves all the open files, thus, my works in VS are gone.
And, when can we have VS:E reading cshtml and auto-format? If WebMatrix can do VS:E I will stay with WebMatrix. But, at this point, VS:E is better for me.
Is there an exemple of the Admin Package use within the beta 2 ?
edit : sorry , i did not understand how you access the admin , just type _Admin after the webmatrix site adress
I agree with remarks concerning hosting for students and else...
nice episode .
@magicalclick: hear you on that one
@ante_marcus: check out my screencast for a use of NuPack in WebMatrix: http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/jsenior/Get-Windows-Azure-Storage-working-in-WebMatrix-in-3-minutes
gosh, so much changes, my sites is all broken now. Are we going to have such large changes in the future. My site is small, but, this is kind of scary when everything from webmail, db, layout, pages.... all different now.
I did not realise the current hosters were free for the bèta period. But indeed it's great to hear you are working on very cheap small hosting providers. I tought it might be something that could be set up via Windows Azure zo scale easily to serve lots of free accounts, but indeed microsoft needs to work with it's hosting partners and value those partnerships.
@magicalclick: You can check out the ReadMe. It goes over all the changes from Beta 1 to Beta 2. To answer your question about frequency of changes, there are no new features (other than updates to /_Admin) or changes from Beta 2 to RTW.

Hi! Did you get the 8-track of Every Body's Record off of eBay? I couldn't find it. I'm asking because right above it, it has the bottom of what looks like an 8-track of Sesame Street 1. Also, you put it on My Record. I would have moved it, but we already have an 8-track of Every Body's Record on its page, so I didn't know if you wanted to pick one.Loading editor
argh. sorry. I put it in the wrong spot. Yes I almost certainly got it off ebay, but I'm not sure when. I just noticed it on my desktop when I was cleaning up some files tonight.
The image I had doesn't go up any further. But we already have two 8-tracks for SS1.... why did you want another? I should go crop it though.
Is it the same as the one on the Every Body's Record page? I suspect I grabbed it because it says Columbia House and then didn't put it up because I wasn't sure if that was the same or different. Truthfully neither one is that great so I am ok with keeping either. The packaging is sort of interesting I suppose as opposed to dingy 8-track plastic....Loading editor
On the SS1 I was wondering which version it was, but I figured out that it's the 1974 reissue. Can you make the new one of Everybody's Record a new version of the old one? I like to keep variations of covers in the history, because sometimes the differences help us figure stuff out, like when we finally figured out the book and records!Loading editor
Never mind; I saw what you did. That Columbia House 8-track might have a unique number, so we can keep both. I know they made a Columbia House LP of The Sesame Street Fairy Tale Album. Thanks!Loading editor
sigh. we are editing at cross purposes as I have just reuploaded it over the other one. :)
Do you want me to put it back separate? Or leave it?Loading editor
Can you please make them separate? If we find out that there were no Columbia House editions, we can always merge them back together. Thanks!Loading editor
all set.Loading editor
Oddly enough, I ran across this auction again. here. It has Sesame Disco! on Columbia House also. And the SS1, which has the tracklist slightly cutoff so while it is cleaner than our image, it is less complete in a way. Not sure which you prefer to have.Loading editor
There's also an auction for SS2 in an RCA box here. In one of the images it is clear that the number matches what we have here for the Warner bros 8-track.Loading editor

Australia's election hits gender divide
By James Grubel
CANBERRA (Reuters) - Australia's campaign for the August 21 election has hit a gender divide.
Opinion polls and a nationally televised debate have found women are throwing their support behind Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Australia's first female prime minister, who took over from Kevin Rudd on June 24.
Women appear to have problems with conservative opposition leader Tony Abbott, a super fit politician regularly photographed in swimming briefs or cycling lycra.
"I certainly get women, but obviously I've got some marketing to do," said Abbott, who has acknowledged the gender gap and made changes to his campaign to counter the problem.
Abbott, married with three daughters, has brought his family into the campaign, with his wife Margie appearing at a function on Monday and his daughter Louise joining him on the hustings on Tuesday.
Gillard, who is not married and has no children, has no plans to bring her long-time partner Tim Mathieson into the campaign.
A Nielsen poll on July 24 found 58 percent of women supported Gillard's Labor government and 42 percent supported Abbott's coalition Liberal-National Party, compared to an overall vote of 54 percent for Labor and 46 percent for the opposition.
In Sunday's televised debate, audience reaction meters by two networks showed a clear distinction between men and women, with women voters regularly rating Gillard higher and Abbott lower. Continued...

Nest vs Hive – What's the difference?
Nest and Hive are two of the most high-profile options for anyone thinking of making their home's heating smarter.
While we've reviewed the the first generation Hive and 2nd-generation Nest, both companies have recently released new versions that add new features.
They still both cost a few hundred pounds to install and aim to make your home heating smarter and cheaper in the long run.
But which is the best for you? Here's a closer look at the differences.
Who makes these systems?
Nest is owned by Google, while Hive is from UK energy provider British Gas. Hive is only available in the UK, so we're mainly going to focus on how the two compare from a UK perspective.
The Nest system is growing its own ecosystem of first-party and third-party accessories – any device marketed as "Works with Nest" can hook into its connected home system. Philips Hue lights work with Nest, and Nest itself has a range of other connected devices, including Nest Protect – a smoke alarm – and a new security camera called Nest Cam.
Hive, meanwhile, has recently launched a range of devices and a new app to take advantage. Motion sensors, door and window sensors, smart plugs and smart lights are part of the first wave of Hive accessories, with more first- and (potentially) third-party ones coming soon.
The new, 3rd-generation Nest Thermostat has a bigger, sharper screen and can now control hot water tanks
What's new in the 3rd-generation Nest Learning Thermostat?
Nest recently started selling the 3rd generation Nest, which is pictured above. Its screen is 40% larger than the previous version, which Nest says lets you see what's on the screen from right across the room. The screen's also sharper than before.
Of greater import is the addition of hot water tank support in the UK and Europe, a feature lacking in previous versions.
Hive Active Heating 2 looks much smarter than the basic first edition
What's new in Hive Active Heating 2?
The most recent Hive has received a significant facelift. It has a glossy, mirror-like finish and supports a variety of different style shells to fit your home's decor.
The core features remain the same, but the interface both on the thermostat and in the app are completely new. Compared to the old model, which was very basic compared to other modern smart thermostats, it's a huge leap forward.
Which is the most expensive?
Nest Learning Thermostat – £249 with installation (£199 without)
Hive Active Heating 2 – £249 with installation
Hive used to be cheaper, but Hive Active Heating 2 actually costs the same amount to buy and install now. Current Hive owners can get the 2nd-gen version for £99 for a limited period, though.
Nest is also available without installation for £199, though we'd caution against this unless you're totally confident in what you're doing. It pays to do a little research first, as there's a lot of "this wire connects to that wire" to deal with.

Hive can be battery powered or wired in
Which is harder to install?
Both systems come with similar parts, including a network hub, the thermostat itself and a regulator that connects directly to the boiler. The complexity of the setup will really depend on your home and whether you choose a professional installer or not.
The one key difference is that the Nest thermostat requires mains power, whereas the Hive Active Heating 2 thermostat can be powered by four AA batteries.
This is a nice option that gives you a little more flexibility over where you place your thermostat.
Nest wins points here too, though, as you have the option to place it on a stand rather than on a wall, which might be more convenient. It also means you don't have to run wires through walls unless you really want to – a regular mains plug will do the job.
You can put the Nest (2nd-gen pictured) on this stand if you'd rather not have it on a wall
How do you control these systems?
The new Hive system is a lot more attractive and modern looking than the old one, so Nest have as much of an advantage anymore.
Fundamentally, both offer similar options, as you can either control them using the thermostat or rely entirely on the apps.
Both let you set your own schedules, too, but Nest goes one step further in its focus on learning your patterns and adapting accordingly.
It does this using its presence sensor, something Hive doesn't have, though Hive 2 will notify you if it thinks you've left the heating on when you've left the home.
This box plugs into your router
Which boilers work with these systems?
Hive and Nest cannot really be 100% specific about every boiler they support – there are a whole lot of boilers out there – but there are decent guidelines to follow.
Hive says any working gas or LPG heating system is supported, as well as some electric boilers. It suggests calling them if you have an oil boiler to find out if your system is suitable. It can work with some underfloor systems, but not ones that rely on electricity.
Nest says its system works with the following:
- Combi and condensing boilers
- System and heat-only boilers
- Hydronic underfloor systems
- Air-source and ground-source heat pumps
- Switched live systems
- Low-voltage dry-contact systems
Generally, though, compatibility should be very similar between the two systems, as it all hinges on the one component that "talks to" the boiler. Hive calls it a Receiver, while Nest refers to it as a Heat Link. This is the one part that really needs a qualified engineer to install.Related: What is HomeKit?Hive's app will let you control the heating and its range of accessories
What can they do?
Nest's biggest trick is the learning ability and sheer simplicity of its system and thermostat. Sensors in the thermostat detect when you're home, and Nest turns the heating down when you're out even if it's during a scheduled "on" time. That's why it's called the Nest Learning Thermostat, as opposed to the Nest Does What It's Told Thermostat.
Of course, this is somewhat reliant on where you place your thermostat and its sensor, but you can add more thermostats to your system. Multiple thermostats will combine their data to work out better when you're really at home, and they can even create separate smart schedules if your heating is already organised in zones – it can't create zones in homes that don't have them, though.
Hive can't match this learning element, as it lacks the sensor of Nest to detect when you're home. But you can use geolocation in the app to achieve a similar effect, and Hive is expanding its ecosystem to include presence sensors that could do this job in future.
The recent updated Nest also removes one advantage Hive previously enjoyed – hot water support. Previous Nest systems couldn't control a separate hot water tank, but the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat can. We won't know how well this works until we test the new version, but it's an important addition for many UK homes.
Both systems have a holiday mode as well, and Hive 2 now supports multi-zone homes in a similar way to Nest – the first version didn't.
Related: What is IFTTT?
The Nest Protect smoke alarm is part of the growing Nest ecosystem
Do they work with other smart home tech?
Nest has its Works With Nest program that allows products to hook into the Nest system. Many of the supported products are US-only, so the appeal is limited right now, but there are a few notable ones, such as Philips Hue lights, Jawbone and Google Now, and the list is growing all the time.
Of course, Nest being part of Google means this ecosystem is bound to grow quite quickly, and there's a range of other Nest products such as Nest Protect and Nest Cam to consider. If you're a keen Android user then Nest would seem like the way to go, particularly given its ecosystem is already well-supported.
The Hive Active Motion Sensor
Nest isn't alone in creating its own ecosystem of products, though. Hive has recently launched smart plugs, window and door sensors, and motion sensors. It also plans to launch its own smart lights and cameras in future, and has hinted at plans to work with third parties.
Neither system is Apple HomeKit compliant yet, though Hive says it's considering it. Unlike Hive, Nest works with popular "recipe" service IFTTT, though Hive plans to support similar functionality among its own Hive accessories.
The new Hive thermostat has a smart, mirrored finish
Which is best?
We're still testing the two new versions of these products, so we're not in a position to make a definitive verdict just yet. But the 3rd-generation Nest does remove some of the reasons to consider the Hive ahead of it.
Hot water tank support is the biggest of these. If you'd previously ruled out Nest because it lacked this feature then it's time to reconsider it. The learning element of Nest is another major attraction, though Hive's approach has merits too.
We'll soon see whether that's the case.

A lonely road I walk on
with nobody around
just the trees in the distance
and the rocks and dirt on the ground.
I was told there was happiness
beyond, where this road goes
happiness is what I lack
and in my smile it shows.
this emotion I long for
It has been quite sometime
since, I felt this inside my heart
a happiness that's all mine.
I know it's out there somewhere
to the end, I must now go
walking down this lonely road
what to expect, I do not know.
embarking on this journey
is something I must do
I felt this emptiness for to long
and somehow I seen it through.
I can't let nothing get me down
I have to give all of me
I have to make it all the way
at the end, happiness waits for me.

Health effects of ownership of and attachment to companion animals in an older population
- Cite this article as:
- Winefield, H.R., Black, A. & Chur-Hansen, A. Int. J. Behav. Med. (2008) 15: 303. doi:10.1080/10705500802365532
Background: Two reasons for the inconclusiveness of the literature on the health effects of pet ownership are (1) failure to control for other known influences on health, and (2) inadequate consideration of the nature of the emotional relationship between owners and their companion animals.Purpose: The main aims were to develop a measure of pet attachment that reflects psychologists' use of the attachment concept, and to see if pet ownership or attachment added to the health variance explained by known predictors.Method: Community-living older adults (n = 314) gave information by interview using structured questions and standardized scales. Multiple regressions were then conducted to examine the possible predictive role of health habits, human social supports, pet ownership, and owners' attachment to the pet, on health and well-being.Results: The pet attachment measure showed good internal reliability. After controlling for other variables, neither pet ownership nor pet attachment added significantly to explained variance in health and well-being.Conclusions: The health of elderly people is related to their health habits and social supports but not to their ownership of, or attachment to, a companion animal.

01 740iL - Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement
Due for A Oil Change I Just Replaced My Timing Chain Tensioner Along With A Oil Change 5w/30 BMW Oil Syn. I Was Getting The Perverbial Chain Rattle At Start Up And Quickly Going Away Sooo Had The Oil Pan Lowered To Check For Worn Or Broken Timing Chain Guides Walla All Looked Good :) Installed New And Improved Chain Tensioner And The Car Is As Quite As A Churches Mouse On A Sunday Morning :angel:
Carmen 2001 E38 740iL 65,980.miles
did you change the tensioner yourself, if so how exactly did you do it and where is it located?
Thnx again blue, do you mind if i ask you questions in the future?
War Machine
i think im having the same problem. I am a noob so bear with me. On my way home from work i realized a noise coming from my engine and it sounded like a belt. took it to two mechanics and their telling me that its a chain tensioner. I think its coming from the left side were the chain goes. I think this is a winter problem huh thanks
Thanks Blue For Getting The Info Posted I Was Working Late The Last few days. It takes all of 15 minutes not very difficult to do. It really did quiet my car down I also think it will help save some chain guides as it cannot be good with loose tension regradless how BMW has treated the issue in the past. Bought the new a improved version updated part it is a little longer. Carmen 01 740iL...... recently installed lighted head rest.:thumbup:
What is the part number for the new and improved version colangelo?
War Machine
This what I have :) It is made by a BMW vendor but BMW assigned this part number to it 11 31 7 531 813 Chain Guid Tensioner I think it list for around $150.00 but it can be had a little cheaper. My mind slips me on the manufacturs it begins with a B But I do remeber it comes in a small white with red strips xx box I am going by memory but just google BMW timing Chain tensioner for the M62TU and Links will pop up. Good luck:thumbup: As I said above know the maufactures of the part begins with the letter B (Beinson) or somthing like that.
Oh you mean bilstein?
War Machine
Yes I Believe You Are right..........:angel:
What kind of car do you have. I believe I am having the same problem. But every wear I go people are telling me a grand to fix. One machanic even told me to swap engines. My car runs fines just that rattle. They say its the timing chain tensioner but u guys make it seem like its nothing. I have a 98 bmw 740 iL
Carmen 01 740iL
well at first it rattle from time to time and then now its just sounds like a worn out belt thats what i thought it was at first but sometime it will go away and come back. the mechanics at a few shops are saying its the chain tensioner and that the whole front has to come out and this and that. I just feel because its a BMW alot of shops will look at u like a atm machine. My car still runs and starts up. They want to charge me 1000 bucks for this job. Thanks for the reply
Get The Tensioner change and you might be suprised it is easy to do......:D
I wanna ask how much did everybody pay for that tensioner and guides change or did they do it themselves and how long it actually took.

Who is the best grappler in the world
Who in your opinion is the best grappler in the world MMA or non MMA
mma wise big nog comes to mind
I dont think its a fair question to ask because there are alot of skillful people out there that arent in the lime light. So when people ask stuff like this you cant really give a good answer. Alot of the BJJ and other types of grappeling dont impress me because its so common. There are some really good grapplers out there that use alot of small joint manipulation that is really effective and people dont practice alot. There are also grapplers out there that focus on pressure points to attain submitions and to escape submitions.
My dad was in the marines and he was stationed in Germany for awhile. My dad was really into judo back then and Judo is really big in europe. One of my dads favorite submitions was the triangle choke which is used alot in Judo. He told me that he participated in this big event in europe that was a tournament of some sort. So while he was there he said he ended up putting some one in a triangle choke and then they ended up escaping but they did it through nerve manipulation.
The guy hit a spot somewhere on his leg and then his leg relaxed and the guy got out of the triangle or some crap like that. Which goes to show you there are people out there that can use nerve manipulation to there advantage. Aside from some of the old practitioners of some dieing arts in japan and some chinese systems you dont really hear about that stuff.
Theres also a way to squeeze both of your temples with your thumb and pointer finger that can disorient you if you know how to hit the spot
I would say the BJJ guys are the best grapplers because that's all they focuss on in their training. Guys like Roger Gracie, Xande Ribiero and so forth. In MMA I would say Big Nog and BJ is pretty ggod.
It depends on what grappling rules you are referring to. BJJ rules, I'd say Jacare, Roger Gracie, Xande Ribiero, and Marcelo Garcia are the best right now.
Sub-Grappling would be Jacare, Roger, Marcelo Garcia, Xande, Lister, and Arona.
MMA grappling would be Mach Sakurai, BJ Penn, Arona, Lister, both Nogieras, and Busta. Actually there are alot of good judo grapplers entering MMA lately too. Nakumura, Yoshida, etc.
I don't keep up with the judo world, but you could look up the latest Judo world champions, and Olympians.
Also, don't forget Freestyle, and Greco Roman Wresling.
Josh barnett IMO, it's not just about grappling skills but the perfect combination of skill and strength. That's why barnett beat nogueira even though they were pretty much of equal skill.
theres a ranking system online for grappeling which has a worldwide database. why dont you look that up?
This is definitely a broad question. Here's my short list:
Jeff Monson
Dean Lister
Fedor (best Sambo)
Hidehiko Yoshida (best Judo)
Big Nog (best BJJ, at least from an MMA standpoint)
Josh Barnett (best wrestling)
BJ Penn (as far as lightweight grappling)
Xande Ribiero (strictly sub-grappling competition, but he's the best in my opinion)
Rulon Gardner (Olympic Gold Medalist: Roman Greco)
Roger Gracie (gotta be one on the list)
That's just my input.
Was Barnett a ncaa national champion for wrestling

At The Villages, Carrollwood Day senior Billy Embody threw four touchdown passes and caught a 61-yarder from Deuce Gruden in the Patriots' 61-21 romp Saturday of Winter Garden's Foundation Academy.
The contest was part of a round-robin series of games held Saturday to determine overall finishes in the independent Sunshine State Athletic Conference. CDS' triumph clinched second place.
Playing virtually the whole game without top rusher Darius Bing, who exited with a first-quarter injury, the Patriots (9-1) leaned on a host of contributors on both sides.
Senior Michael Kanter had two of Embody's TD catches and added an 85-yard kick return for a TD. Sophomore Dillon Floyd had three interceptions.

As for the Turbo V8, can't say GM should not create a DOHC 4VPC Turbo V8, but for 2016 that engine has to be ready now. Can see Turbos added to the Corvette 6.2L and Bentley used OHV V8's for years and still may (need to verify). HP is not as important in large flagships as Torque, much like large Trucks/SUV's so a smooth and powerful (Torque) OHV Turbo V8 will be more than adequate for the first Gen and that OHV Turbo V8 could find happy homes in other GM products.
If the Flagship establishes itself on the market and there is demand for a DOHC 4VPC Turbo V8, then Cadillac can offer it then as an "upgrade".
If you truly believe you are "The Standard of the World" then you need a warranty...all Cadillacs should come with 7year/70.000 mile warranties.....and free service for the same period. All Omega's should be 10/ 100,000.....
The 2014 XTS Platinum V/Sport, with every option will top out at $70,000+. I expect the ULS to start north of $100,000. The 2015 Escalade will be $85,000-$100,000, the ELR will top out at $75,000+, the 2014 CTS V/Sport around $65,000, and the CTS-V (you know there's going to be one) around $90,000. So Cadillac is getting there.....
Until ATS arrives, GM APAC hasn't really got an ideally-sized or -priced Cadillac. They'll sell a few CTS, and even fewer SRX and one or two Escalades. Not because they are not liked there, just too expensive.
Buick and to a lesser extent Chevrolet are a model for what GM could achieve. Malibus after a slow start are up to 7-8,000 a month, which is impressive as they are a large and expensive car, relatively speaking, in China. The number of people who could realistically afford to own and run a Malibu is probbaly 1/10 of the US.
I, for one, don't think GM should waste money developing a bespoke engine just for a low volume Caddy. These days, people won't care or even know the difference between a bone stock LT1 and a twin turbo, DOHC, 5.5L V12. That's the sad truth that us oldschool car guys need to get through our heads. It makes for a nice fantasy, but it won't sell cars, just cost a lot to develop.
GM aught to put available resources into making sure the Omega platform is not just class-leading, but will also be relevant 10+ years down the line. This means flexible dimensions allowing for a LWB model in countries like China, where it will be demanded, rather than GM's typical: "Our all new, exclusive, from scratch platform only goes to 207 inches long but also not less than 201 inches until we have funds to develop an all new platform." Plan for the future, guys. I mean how often are you allowed to develop an all new chassis? (For example, the Impala Limited which will be in production until June 2014 is based on the W-Body platform, which while updated multiple times over the years, debuted in 1988, or 26 years earlier! And that is for a platform with multiple volume models funding it.)
These days, "platform" also includes the tech-bus built into the architecture. This Cadillac needs to follow the recent CUE trend of blowing the big boys out of the water (at least in having the first virtual gauges, and fresh software), but to the power of 10. Things like mobile hot spot, smartphone/tablet/laptop integration, entertainment points at every seating position, and plenty of streaming services all available or standard in the car. Of course, materials and accommodations will need to be first rate, and I think the XTS proves Cadillac has what it takes to make this happen at a higher price bracket. First-class-treatment reclining rear seats with massage and footrests seem to be the price of entry these days.
Now one can see, with all these new technological and mechanical investments, where GM would be smart to save their pennies for what the buyers will truly be moved by. Still, if given an opportunity to develop a new powertrain, I'd also like to see Voltec in the LTS--but pared to the LT1 engine as a full hybrid. For a little extra kick (beyond the electric motors) an electric supercharger could be used to take advantage of all those batteries and provide boost for a few minutes if needed. But as I said, platform and interior tech first...all wrapped in stunning American sheet metal. Best of luck to ya Caddy.

Which make you wonder about the current Camaro. I mean, we assume that GM is making money on it. Especially considering that the average transaction price is several thousand dollars more than GM had originally forecast. But the part that I wonder about is that ~80K Camaros per year are built on an assembly line designed to build 250K cars per year.
Pony Car: an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image and an available V8.
Great to hear, even though its repeated news. I still don't understand why Omega will be just for Caddy, Buick and Chevy need this platform just as much, Buick needs a 60-70k Super Ultra Sedan, and Chevy needs a Car for Police Duty, and a Super Sport Sedan. Just using this platform caddy will not be a good thing, just think how much Sigma would have been better if it was used for both Buick, and Chevy. O well at least we getting a Super Duper Caddy.
"Developing" is not the same as building. Design and engineering can be done relatively inexpensively. It's when it comes down to tooling and setting up production that the costs run to hundreds of millions.
All automakers are developing products "on paper" all the time. Only a small percentage of these projects ever see production but that doesn't make the design and engineering work "dumb".
"Believe it, don't believe it, I don't give a $h !t."
"OK, do beat on me too hard"
If the next SRX utilizes Alpha, well then it's probably Lansing........
If it's built on Epsilon, then it could be built in any number of plants. Perhaps Kansas City since the Malibu hasn't set the world on fire.

Also Oshawa, where the Camaro is built did/does make the W-body Impala and full-size trucks at the same plant.But the part that I wonder about is that ~80K Camaros per year are built on an assembly line designed to build 250K cars per year.
A bespoke version of the LT would be nice for Cadillac, different from the other engines, but still from the same family, perhaps a unique displacement version, with special internals.I, for one, don't think GM should waste money developing a bespoke engine just for a low volume Caddy. These days, people won't care or even know the difference between a bone stock LT1 and a twin turbo, DOHC, 5.5L V12. That's the sad truth that us oldschool car guys need to get through our heads.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Despite career-highs in kills from Mackenzie Stephens (Holland, Mich.) and Becca Jones (Arlington, Va.) as well as a triple-double from Hanna Stoiberg (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), the Marist volleyball team fell to Canisius 3-1 (25-23, 25-14, 22-25, 25-19) at McCann Arena Saturday afternoon. It was the first Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) match of the season for both teams.
Stoiberg finished with team-highs of 13 kills and 11 digs to go along with 20 assists for her second straight triple-double, and third overall this season. Stephens reached double digits in kills for the first time in her career, finishing with 11 while hitting at a .500 clip and adding four blocks. Jones had five kills and nine digs, tripling her previous career-high, while making her first career start. Katie Estes (Saugus, Calif.) had nine kills in just two sets and freshmen Kelsey Lahey (Bowling Green, Ohio) and Courtney Shaw (Centennial, Co.) each had seven kills. Gena Russo (Rensselaer, N.Y.) had 10 digs and Brooke Zywick (Garden City, Mich.) added nine. Audra Brady (Allentown, Pa.) had a team-high 27 assists.
The Red Foxes (4-7, 0-1 MAAC) started off well, taking an early 6-3 lead in the first set on two kills apiece from Stoiberg and Marisa Gilbert (Pflugerville, Texas) and a block by Stephens and Jones. Canisius (4-7, 1-0 MAAC) came right back however with 5-1 run to take an 8-7 lead. The two teams would trade points before the Golden Griffins used three straight points to jump ahead 17-14. Marist battled back to tie the score at 22 on two kills by Stephens and one each from Stoiberg, Lahey and Shaw as well as a block from Shaw and Gilbert. Canisius responded, however, with a 3-1 run to put the set away 25-23. Stoiberg and Stephens led the way in the set for Marist with five kills each while Brady had 10 assists.
The Golden Griffins carried that momentum from the end of the first set into the second, taking command early with a 10-5 lead despite three kills from Jones and one each by Lahey and Stoiberg. The Red Foxes pulled back to within two at 13-11 thanks to two kills from Shaw, one each by Stephens and Jones and another block combination from Shaw and Stephens. The Golden Griffins would go on an 8-1 run from there however, including seven straight points, to take a 20-12 advantage before Stoiberg ended the streak with a kill. Kills by Gilbert and Shaw were not enough to mount a comeback as Canisius took the second set 25-14. Jones had four kills and four digs in the frame.
Estes came off the bench for the Red Foxes in the third set and provided a big spark, throwing down six kills to lead the way. Marist jumped out to an early 8-3 lead on kills by Estes, Stoiberg, Gilbert, Lahey and Shaw as well as a service ace from Russo. After Canisius pulled to within three at 9-6, the Red Foxes responded with a 5-1 run, including three straight kills by Estes to open up a 13-7 advantage. The Golden Griffins again closed the gap, this time to one at 18-17, another kill by Stephens and a Brady ace, sandwiched between two Canisius errors, brought the lead back up to five at 22-17. Kills by Stephens, Estes and Stoiberg eventually closed out the set, 25-22 in Marist's favor.
Marist again took an early lead in the fourth set, this time at 6-2 on an ace and kill by Stoiberg and single kills from Stephens, Estes and Shaw. However, Canisius would score six of the next seven points to leapfrog into the lead at 8-7. With the score tied at 10, the Golden Griffins went on their second large run of the set, outscoring Marist 8-2 for an 18-12 lead. They would maintain that six-point lead the rest of the way, despite three kills from Lahey and two by Stoiberg, to take the final set 25-19.
The Red Foxes are right back at it on Sunday with another MAAC match as Niagara, the three-time defending MAAC champions, visits McCann Arena at 2 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on The Red Fox Network.

Just got the Orbi system and on the whole, absolutely love it! Way faster than my old network setup. One issue I'm running into is enabling the VPN service. If I haven't selected "use a Dynamic DNS Service" under the Dynamic DNS tab, I cannot select "Enable VPN Service" in the VPN tab.
As far as I can tell, I cannot select "use a Dynamic DNS Service" without choosing the DynDNS or NoIP/Netgear option. The problem is that I do have a dynamic DNS service that I already have and pay for (ZoneEdit) and I don't feel like switching to DynDNS or NoIP. I've registered for a NoIP free account just to get past this step so I can enable the VPN service, but it sounds like I'm going to have to verify my account every 30 days? Yuck.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to enable the VPN without using the apparently mandated DynDNS or NoIP?
In fact, I am considering buying the Orbi, but also have a question over ddns, I want to use dnsomatic to update two services, dyndns and also opendns
has anyone used the orbi with these items?

It wouldn't work, at least not via the Orbi's amdinistration interface. Orbi's admin UI gives you the option using/updating No-IP (or mynetgear.com, which is really through No-IP) or DynDNS for dynamic dns and that's it. If you were to have a perl script or cron job on a computer behind your Orbi update those, that'd work, but that wouldn't have anything to do with the Orbi itself and you wouldn't need to enable ddns on the Orbi at all.
MY question was "can I enable the VPN Service without explicitly using one of those two services?" which I apparently can't. I did set up a mynetgear account, enabled the VPN and everything is working fine for now, but I suspect they require one of those services to enable the VPN service to generate the configuration files for the VPN clients. When I was setting up the clients, I noticed a reference in the config files to the mynetgear domain I set up, so I edited the mynetgear.com portion to be my normal domain name, and was still able to connect to the VPN just fine. I'm going to let the mynetgear account lapse (you have to renew it every 30 days, which is a pain) and see if I can still connect to my VPN. I'll post my results back here so people know one way or another.
Separately, I'll say I'm very pleased with the Orbi so far. Bandwidth throughout my apartment is great and the ease of setting of the VPN - dns question aside - was great. I tried setting up a VPN server on my computer awhile ago and it was a nightmare trying to navigate all the options; having it built into the router was much much easier.
Sorry, I had appreciated your question, I was simply adding one in (cheeky i know). Glad to hear you are otherwise happy with it... Don't ideally want to go the cron job route. VPN Server also important for me.
I use an Asus DSL-AC68U which is great, also has no need for a modem as its built in.. so i'd have to dig out my old modem to connect to the Orbi. So its not yeat an ideal solution for me, but would it seems fix my coverage issue.
I'm about 3,500 sqft over 3 floors, with router and all other IT kit (printers, sonos boost, telephone base etc) in a cupboard in the office. I thought I was being clever at the time putting it all nicely away.
Thanks for reply... good luck with it..

(HIV-budding-Color image by C Goldsmith/CDC, public domain)
Doctors at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Mississippi, US, have effected a "functional cure" of a baby born HIV positive.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Children's Center, the University of Mississippi Medical Center and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, led by paediatric HIV expert Dr Deborah Persaud say that a baby born with HIV has been cured.
When the child was born, the report states, antiretroviral therapy (ART) was administered within 30 hours, triggering remission. Usually with ART, the virus retreats into viral reservoirs; that is, it goes dormant, to re-emerge when the ART ceases.
In the case of the infant in question, it is believed that early treatment prevented the virus from forming these reservoirs, leading to a "functional cure".
What this means is that the virus is undetected by standard clinical tests — but ultrasensitive equipment will still detect HIV in the child's blood. This is not the same as a "sterilisation cure", which obliterates the virus completely — like the case of Timothy Ray Brown, who was cured after a bone marrow transplant.
After beginning treatment in the first 30 hours of its life, the baby went into remission, with the virus undetectable by the time she was 29 days old. It remained in remission until 18 months of age, when the mother stopped bringing her in for treatment. When they returned 10 months later, the virus was still undetected in the child's blood.
While this treatment will not be effective on older children or adults, it could be revolutionary in treating infants at birth — if this single case doesn't prove to be an anomaly.
Dr Persaud said, "Our next step is to find out if this is a highly unusual response to very early antiretroviral therapy, or something we can actually replicate in other high-risk newborns."
Doctor Hannah Gay, associate professor of paediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, who treated the baby, added that the best method of lowering the incidence on infant HIV remains preventing mother-to-child transmission.
