Hey. I'm a newbie to pistol shooting and have a question. My wife and I decided to get a pistol, and after trying 12 or 15 different guns, we decided on an FN FNP-9. We've put about 300 rounds through it this week and it works well. We are all (including my 16-year-old son) happy with the way it shoots. Except for one teeny, tiny problem that I'm having.
Frankly, my wife and son don't shoot well enough to hit the target in the same place every time. I'm slightly better -- my shots are almost always in the same vertical axis, but drift a little up and down. With other pistols, I'm frequently just above the bulls-eye. I'm not worried about this since I'm a newbie and will only get better with practice and instruction. The FNP and I shoot a nice tight group (more like a line of holes a couple of inches high) but regularly up and to the right of the bulls-eye. If the bulls-eye moved up and to the right I would be a really good shooter at 7 yards.
Are the sights off, or do I just need to work on my aim? I didn't have the off-to-the-right problem with two XDs, three Glocks, a S&W M&P, or a Springfield EMP, but I really don't know if it's me or the gun. Are the sights user-adjustable? The owner's manual is silent on the subject.
It's a lot of fun so far. We need some good weather so we can go try out the Remington Wingmaster we bought two weeks again...

How do you train indoor cats to become outdoor cats?

Why do you want your cat to be an outdoor cat now? This is a very heated subject here... The great outdoors can be VERY dangerous for cats: cars, unfriendly dogs and wild animals, mean people, poisons and chemicals left out... this list is endless. Outdoor cats only have a life expectancy of 3-5 years. Well cared for indoor cats can easily live into their late teens and even 20's. Please reconsider letting your indoor cat stay indoors. My 3 cats are all strictly indoors and are all very happy.

I totally agree with Mr. Fez.. Cats who have lived indoors are not 'street-wise' and will have a very short "shelf-life" outside. They do not know how to handle themselves outside and what dangers to look out for and you cannot "train" them to have these skills. That's a job the mama cat undertakes when the kittens are born and only she knows how to do it. Young cats especially are not street smart and will certainly get hit by a car, captured and sold into research or worse, get lost, meet unfriendly people or other animals, etc. I lost a cat on the road in summer and am still in mourning for him. Please reconsider putting your cats outside, especially if they aren't spayed or neutered.

I don't know if you mean a strictly outdoor cat or an indoor-outdoor cat, but no matter what your misgivings about depriving a cat from going outside might be, the fact is that keeping a cat indoors is the single most important factor in prolonging its life. A few years ago in Japan, where we live, a psychopath captured a cat who was taking a stroll, took it home, tortured, mutilated, and killed it, and put pictures of the whole process on the Internet. Fortunately, he was caught and sentenced...but there are other psychopaths out there, and I for one will never again let any of my cats go outside.

While I agree cats live safer lives indoor, I have a problem with two neutered male cats spraying in the house and after trying EVERYTHING to stop the problem have given up and my only option is to put them outside. I would give anything if I didn't have to make this decision but they are destroying my home and my sanity. I hope to fix a safe place in my barn until they become used to the change. This is a sad choice but nothing I have tried has made them stop.

Joined this site to point out some misleading information.
"Outdoor cats only have a life expectancy of 3-5 years."
EVERY person I know who had outdoor cats had them live at LEAST into their teens. Two of them even into their twenties. My Aunt's cat Cleo was declawed (in front) and lived healthily to 23 and went out every day, sometimes fighting other cats or hanging out with a pack of racoons (no joke). In your statistics, the compiler probably took a "dissapeared" cat as dead for the life expectancy to be that low.
Things to do or ask:
1. Do you have cat-friendly neighboors? Do they have dogs?
2. what pesticides are used locally?
3. what is traffic like?
4. take the cat to the vet every 6 months
5. get it a micro-chip as well as collar
If all these things are done, then a cat should be relatively safe in the outdoors (a more natural and rewarding environment). However, I am unsure about an indoor cat becoming an outdoor cat. I would look into a leash first.

Upon hearing that Joel James has lost 60 pounds, the natural question is to ask him how he did it. The 6-foot-11 center went from pudgy to powerful during his senior season at Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer High, so there must be a secret. Did he find an infomercial product that really worked? Watch a lot of Richard Simmons DVDs? Totally revamp his diet?
James just chuckles. "It wasn't something I really set out to do," he says. "I didn't look at it as trying to lose weight. I didn't change what I ate. I just had fun working out and playing basketball."
So the incoming Tar Heel freshman, who will begin summer school classes this week, may not have a future as a weight loss guru. Fortunately, he's got lots of other career options, beginning on the hardwood.
James is a fascinating story. He grew up in a family of 11 children. The neighborhood wasn't particularly safe--not the kind where a kid could get outside and shoot baskets in the driveway. He never played basketball competitively until high school, when the Dwyer High coach, Fred Ross, noticed there was a potentially untapped center walking the halls.
"Could you give this a shot?" Ross asked James. It turned out that the big man liked basketball, and the simple question from the coach might have changed the player's life.
Three years later--in an era when many of the nation's top prospects have been playing on AAU and travel basketball teams for a decade by the time they reach college--James is a member of one of the nation's most prestigious college basketball programs.
"It's a very humbling experience for a kid from where I come from to be looked at by a program like North Carolina, and to be wanted by a program like that," James says.
It's not just the Tar Heels that see potential in James. He tried out for the United States U-18 National Team and was one of the last two players cut. The tryout experience in early June in Colorado Springs was an important competitive experience.
Many Carolina recruits are accustomed to playing against the country's best players, having been on the summer circuit and serving as the centerpiece of their prep teams for multiple years. That's not the case with James. Dwyer, which won the state title in James's junior year, had terrific guards that season and didn't need much production from their big man. In one game Roy Williams watched in person, James received only a small handful of post entry passes in scoring position in the paint.
Since then, James has expanded his game, and his national team experience was another step in that progression.
"I was playing against some of the best players you can find at that level," James says. "I'm so glad that I went, because it was a great learning experience. The coaches really pushed you. It showed me how to play at a high intensity rate and the importance of doing every drill as hard as you can, because that's how it is going to be in college basketball."
He's continuing his basketball education in Chapel Hill this week, where the competition will be at an even higher level, because several former Tar Heels now in the pros are back in town. His areas of summer emphasis are the same ones Roy Williams asked him to focus on after his commitment to Carolina.
"Coach Williams wants a big man who can fill the lane and run the floor," James says. "He wants me to be able to hit a hook shot over each shoulder, and to be a good defensive player and rebound the ball."
And how do those goals fit with James's perception of his game?
"My jump hook to the middle of the floor, one dribble and going over either shoulder, was my go-to move in high school," he says. "I want to continue to develop that in college. And I've always felt like I have a defensive mentality. You have to get a stop before you can score, and that's the way I like to play."
That defensive approach should serve him well in Chapel Hill. In fact, he's already made a big impression on some former Tar Heels. On a previous recruiting visit to Carolina, James played pickup basketball with members of the 2011-12 team. In that game, one of his opponents was Tyler Zeller--someone who knows a little bit about the physical nature of ACC play under the basket.
"On his official visit, Tyler told me (Joel) hit him as hard as anyone had hit him in his (then) three-year career," Williams said last week. "He's a load. When he whacks you, you know you've been hit."
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly. He is also the author or co-author of six books on Carolina basketball, including the official chronicle of the first 100 years of Tar Heel hoops, A Century of Excellence, which is available now.

The Filth
by Grant Morrison, Chris Weston (Illustrator)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read and loved We3 when I first started giving comics serious attention. Since then, everything I've read from Grant Morrison has made me think that he's just Not For Me.
[N.B. This review includes images, and was formatted for my site, dendrobibliography -- located here.]
That, or I might sincerely dislike him as a person. His books have increasingly left me playing spot-the-influence -- it's either Moore or Gaiman if we're talking comics, otherwise it's verbatim Robert Anton Wilson every time. He ticks all the boxes on the literary comics-writer checklist. He's transgressive to be transgressive. He breaks the fourth wall to break the fourth wall. He steals from Lovecraft because, honestly, who doesn't? Everyone sounds like Grant Morrison -- identifiable only by catchphrases: one will say 'dude' a lot, another 'fuck' every sentence, a third 'honey,' &c. -- and half the heroes are Mary Sues. Deep essays on Freudian psychology are dropped as if Freud wasn't discredited 40 years earlier. He's classically-pretentious in playing the teacher-writer, but gets all his facts wrong and misquotes all his words of wisdom -- this is made worse in that half the dialogue are the characters (i.e., Grant Morrison) lecturing to each other and the reader about how the world works. He breaks new ground with an LGBT cast by having them all be walking 2-dimensional stereotypes who were abused into sexual deviancy -- but no worries, their deviancy is, like, totally hip and Zen. He even makes his introduction to a Transmetropolitan volume more about him and his wonderful influence rather than the comic he was introducing. And now I'm doing it, too! It's hard to write about a Grant Morrison product without talking about Grant Morrison.
The Filth is more of that. It drags society through a red-tinged, big-boob'd pile of garbage to point out that consumerism is bad. That's it. 13 issues of overcooked text accompanying surreal pictures of senseless gore and animal abuse and porn-gone-wrong and lots of phallic purple imagery to say the same stupid thing all the Chuck Palahniuks of the world have been saying for 30 years.
Utterly bizarre but fascinating - probably needs a re-read in the future because I'm sure I missed some of the point first time around.
Incomprehensible gibberish interlaced with pornographic references, extreme violence and curse words. Tries to be clever but fails.
Read it again, following up a discussion of author Grant Morrison's disappointing Return of Bruce Wayne.
To be frank, The Filth was even less coherent than I had remembered: a rambling tale that veers this way and that about a secret policing organization, a story that seems to be critiquing the mind-numbing violence, sexualization, and incoherence of consumerist culture by creating a consumable object that consists of mind-numbing, incoherent depictions of sex and violence. Its excited flaunting of the veneer of heteronormal sexuality is undermined by the fact that its depiction of women consists almost solely of Barbie doll figures (albeit occasionally bald as a Vulcan dominatrix).
There are meta-asides to comics as a form struggling to break through its own self-contained borders, in which the divide between drawn page and physical reality is crumbled and each bends slightly into the other. There's no particular logic to it, though, just a spew of ideas. Its apparent underlying critique of superheroism is undermined by Morrison's later and earlier fine execution of superhero comics.
The series' covers (when it was first published, as a baker's dozen of pamphlets), though, remain one of the best things a mainstream comics publisher has ever produced. Beautiful stuff. If only the storytelling enacted the rigor its wrapper promised.
I read The Filth as a complete bound collection, rather than the thirteen individual comics issues. In that format, it amounts to probably my favorite graphic novel. It includes science fiction, satire, superheroism, sex, drugs, and violence. It's something like The Matrix reconstituted on the basis of a scatological rant from Antonin Artaud. It has a completely freestanding mythos, not dependent on any prior superhero or comics franchise, highly coherent when it's not completely mind-blowing. Despite its evident balls-out insanity, The Filth tackles serious issues and ultimately offers a sense of profound redemption.
I'm not an unequivocal fan of Grant Morrison's work: sometimes I find him indulgent and meandering. But when he hits his mark, he's awesome; and I've never read anything where he has hit it as hard as The Filth. Weston and Erskine's art is both surreal and gritty while strangely conventional, just the mix of H.R Giger, William Blake, and Joe Kubert that the story requires.
Edited to add: Morrison is on the record as having written The Filth as a companion piece to his earlier and longer series The Invisibles, even though there is no narrative continuity between them. There is certainly a lot of conceptual and thematic overlap. They can be seen as perfectly complementary, though, if viewed through the cops-and-criminals dichotomy that each eventually collapses. The Filth works initially from the cop's end of the spectrum, while The Invisibles does from the criminal's.

No descriptions found.
The filth is a heady brew of big ideas, exotic locales, and bizarre action featuring some of the wildest imagery in all of comics, including prosthetically outfitted dolphins in scuba gear and a hard-smoking chimpanzee in Kremlin garb.

I'm looking to purchase a slider for WP. Have trawled the net but can't find a comparison review. just individual reviews which are always "great great great" for whichever they are taking about. 1. Slider Revolution … the newest by far. it appears to have a great interface , responsive and has plenty of visual effects. not sure if i can have multiple sliders per page
2. layer slider. been around a while longer but just had a major update. again very similar to above ( to the non technical/developer ). has a full screen width mode and also a very nice bonus of throwing in the non WP version for free. ( i hope that means what i think it does ). Also can show multiple sliders on same page.
- only downside is that in the demo vids they are so busy showing off the swip fade and parallex transitions , they havent show any other transition effects. So i'm a little unsure what other effects the plugin offers
3. i considered royal slider. again been around a while and as above get the 5 * comments. allowed multiple sliders on same page which is always nice. not really sure why i'm prefering 1 of the other 2 above.
so anyway, if anyone have any experience of these 3 OR ideally know somewhere i could get a review on the 3 of them with differences listed, i'd appreciate it.

Are you in the market for a new laptop, desktop or server PC with Linux installed? Please give us the opportunity to quote a preloaded Linux laptop, desktop or server system for you.
By the way, if you did not read my previous article, Open Source Horror Story – A Linux Recovery Tale, you do not know what you missed. Basically the article is about recovering from a failing hard drive after an attempted upgrade of Mandriva to the 2011 release. The article is written in 3rd person from a story teller's point of view. It has some good information in it for those of you who may find yourself in a similar situation. Go have a look, and make a comment if you wish. Okay, enough about that, on with the new article.
As of today I find myself in the position of deciding whether or not to stick with my previously preferred distribution, Mandriva Linux. This is a bittersweet realization for me. I found Mandrake Linux several years ago in the early 2000's, about the time they were working on coming out of bankruptcy. When I saw and understood the command-line urpm* package management tools for the first time I immediately "fell in love" with them. In my mind those tools were, and still are, one of the best package management implementations in all of Linux. At that point, Mandrake Linux became my distribution of choice. When Mandrake merged with Conectiva and reorganized to become Mandriva, I stuck with Mandriva. When Mandriva narrowly avoided another bankruptcy, I stuck with Mandriva. When Mandriva development seemed to be imploding and many developers left or were fired, I stuck with Mandriva. Now Mandriva 2011 is out, and Mandriva seems not to be "sticking with me".
My preferred "desktop environments" for X on Linux are in this order: fluxbox, XFCE4, WindowMaker. Notice something? You got it! Those are all "light" window manager / desktop environments, a category that does not include KDE or Gnome. I have never been a fan of desktop environments that are more resource hungry than most of the applications I want to run. I am even less fond of the direction both projects, meaning KDE and Gnome, are taking with their current DE implementations. I stick with minimalist GUI implementations such as those mentioned in the first sentence of this paragraph. Now with the release of Mandriva 2011 I see this disturbing, to me, tidbit on the Mandriva Linux 2011 Release Notes:
GNOME, Xfce and other Desktop Environments (DE) and Window Managers (WM) are no longer included in the official Mandriva packages. Contribution packages from the Mandriva community are available for these desktop environments however. Starting from Mandriva Desktop 2011 only KDE Plasma Desktop is officially supported. If you need Mandriva with another DE or WM you can use unofficial packages or distributions prepared by community members (which are described below).
Wow. Does that suck or what? I have seen the new ROSA interface for KDE on Mandriva 2011. All I can say about it nicely is, "That is not for me." The new community driven Linux distribution called Mageia, which is based on Mandriva 2010.2, has my beloved urpm* tools and will still "officially" supply / support fluxbox, XFCE4 and WindowMaker. Not only that, but after having had to do one fresh Mandriva 2011 install after a problem with a failing hard drive, I found out I have a strong dislike for the new Mandriva GUI installer. I really prefer the older Mandriva installers that work like the one in Mageia 1:
OGG Theora Video best viewed in Firefox.
Finally, Mandriva 2011 is to the point of switching from sysvinit to systemd for bootup. Yes, one can still run sysvinit with Mandriva 2011. But since sysvinit in Mandriva 2011 is deprecated I suspect it may become broken with subsequent updates. My suspicion may turn out to be wrong, but why should I take the chance? While I understand systemd on Linux is probably the future for us all, I am not yet ready to switch. Mageia 1 still uses sysvinit for bootup at this point with systemd possibly arriving with Mageia 2. This gives me a bit more "wiggle room" to learn about systemd before I take the plunge into using it on my systems.
Due to all of the above, but specifically the DE part, I am now seriously considering a move to Mageia. In fact, while writing this article I have convinced myself it is time. I am researching my needs in anticipation of switching to Mageia this very weekend in fact. By the time you read this article I may already be in the middle of a distribution switch or finished with same. Once I do switch and have a chance to become more familiar with Mageia I will begin writing about that distribution here on The ERACC Web Log.
Obviously, my choices here will not be the choices that others will make. Regardless, I am hopeful the information I give here may help someone else with his or her own decision about a distribution to choose.

Greenwood Raceway
Greenwood Raceway is a defunct horse racing facility in Toronto.
Inaugurated in 1874 as Woodbine Race Course at the foot of Woodbine Avenue and Lake Ontario, it was owned and operated by two gentlemen named Pardee and Howell. Within a few years financial problems resulted in the property reverting to Joseph Duggan, the original land owner. In the early 1880s Duggan founded the Ontario Jockey Club (OJC). The facility hosted seasonal harness racing for Standardbred horses and flat racing events for Thoroughbreds.
Harness racing dates were transferred from Thorncliffe Park Raceway to Old Woodbine to fill the gap between the spring and fall thoroughbred meets, and the track was known as Greenwood Raceway during the harness meet. The track was at the junction of Kingston Road and Queen Street East, with only a narrow strip of land between it and Lake Ontario.
Thoroughbred racing continued at Old Woodbine on a shortened six furlong (1,207 m) track. Old Woodbine later was renamed Greenwood Race Track.
Harness races were at first conducted on the thoroughbred track, but serious problems with mud (including the starting gate being immobilized) led to the construction of a five-furlong (1006 m) stone dust harness track inside the thoroughbred track. This track was known for its tight turns and long back and homestretches.
In the early 1950s, the Ontario Jockey Club, led by directors E. P. Taylor, George C. Hendrie and J. E. Frowde Seagram, undertook an acquisition and consolidation program for southern Ontario racing. By 1956, the OJC operated just three facilities consisting of the Fort Erie Racetrack in Fort Erie, Ontario and two facilities in Toronto. The Woodbine Race Course was completely renovated and renamed Greenwood Raceway. It held both harness racing and thoroughbred racing meets until its closure in late 1993. A new facility for Thoroughbred horse races was constructed in Toronto, and given the name Woodbine Racetrack.
Greenwood Raceway was the site of the Canadian Pacing Derby, the North America Cup, the Fan Hanover Stakes, the Maple Leaf Trot, and the Canadian Trotting Classic.
In 1994 both the thoroughbred and harness operations were moved to Woodbine. Greenwood was demolished and replaced by residential and commercial development, including a betting parlour. To commemorate the history of the site, two of the new residential roadways were given names that reflected horse racing themes: Northern Dancer Blvd. (in honour of the famous thoroughbred Northern Dancer) and Winners Circle—a street which, paradoxically, runs in a straight line.
Coordinates: 43°39′59″N 79°18′47″W / 43.666270°N 79.313036°W Steeplechase races were held at Woodbine/Greenwood for a few years; There was a thoroughbred race announcer by the name of Foster "Buck" dryden for several years. A horse by the name of Last Mark, owned by James G. Fair of Cainsville, Ontario won the "Plate" in 1948, setting a new Plate record and only being equalled once, before the track was decommissioned. R.J. Speers' horse, Lord Fairmond came 2nd in that Plate race. Fair had 2 horses in that Plate which never ran in the Plate Trials but worked out between the 2 divisions of the "Trials". Their times were faster than the times of either of the trial divisions.

My Ride: 2004 325Ci
2004 325Ci
Hey guys up for sale is my 2004 325Ci. I don't really want to sell this car, and I'm not in a hurry. Just gauging interest because there is a car potentially for sale (BMW related) that I've been looking into. It has a clean VIN! I knew the owner of it before me as well. He had it from 44k until I got it and he is a BMW enthusiast as well. His whole family is so I knew this car was very well taken care of! I'm sure I'm missing something, but will edit if I remember
Here are the details:
-121,xxx (will go up it's my daily).
-Black exterior
-Black interior
-Titanium trim
-Sport Package
-Cold Weather package (including 60/40 split)
-Premium Package
-Factory iPod hookup in glovebox
-35% tint
-OEM Performance shift knob
-ECS Tuning Black kidney grills
-2500k foglight replacement bulbs
Service work I've done recently:
-Cooling system overhaul (90k)
-Brand new Blizzak tires all around (119k)
-New Clutch (119k)
-New reverse light switch (no biggie)
-Water pump (108k)
-Front Brakes (105k)

I wish I would've taken a picture under the VC when I had it off to show how clean this motor is inside! This car honestly interior is an 8/10. The only blemish I have a problem with is the bolster on the sport seats on the drivers side. Exterior I would say is an 8/10 as well. There is a minor blemish on the front corner of the driver fender that was touched up and you don't really notice it. Aside from the typical stone chips on a 120k car. I park way out in the parking lots to avoid door dings, and to this day I haven't had one, NOR has it seen one from the previous owner. This car still shines like new and I love it!
Price is: 11,000 OBO

Introduction and Purpose
My father was the owner of a 72 Rally Nova. It was a huge project for him. He painted it Canairy Yellow with the black Rally stripe on the sides. The paint however has started to rust and will need to be re-done. The engine is good and running, however I do not the details of the engine. This is the biggest problem: the interior. Before his death in April '03, he purchased a back seat bench for the backseat. The fornt two seats arn't bolted down and as of now the back bench is just in the back.
Since he has passed, the car has just sat up and rusted even more. I want to have the car completly restored, however, I am no mechanic and have no desire to be (no offence).
I am looking for a place to make the can look and run like my dad always dreamed.
Any thoughts or advise will be most helpfull.
Thanks and God Bless.
Finding a good shop is a big challenge as most commercial body shops just do crash repairs anymore. Ask around at car shows, ask friends and family for any recommendations. Get references from any shop you talk to. There are a couple around here that I could comfortably recommend but they are pretty far from Oregon.
Please study the information Jeff Lilly has on his web site. I don't know them nor anyone who has had work done there but he does a nice job of laying out what to expect in a restoration. It is good information
Good luck with the search and the restoration.
A good way to get this done is through a local high school or community college. Talk to them and they can take the car as a learning project. Heck, you may even want to donate it to them in your dads name..............that would be a nice rememberance.

Vietnamese mobile operator MobiFone has officially launched its W-CDMA/HSDPA network, local news source VietNamNet reports. MobiFones subscribers are now able to enjoy services such as videocalling, mobile TV offering 32 channels, and high speed internet at download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. The company has launched a number of mobile internet packages ranging in price from VND3,000 (USD0.16) per day to VND50,000 for 30 days. MobiFone is the second cellco in the country to provide 3G services, after Vinaphone launched its offering in October this year. According to TeleGeographys GlobalComms Database, MobiFone is majority-owned by state-run national PTO Vietnam Post and Telecommunication Corporation (VNPT) through its Vietnam Mobile Telecom Services (VMS) division. It was awarded a licence to provide third-generation services in April 2009.In a separate but related story, military-run cellco Viettel has launched trial 3G services in 17 cities and provinces in preparation for a commercial launch in early 2010. Viettel first launched trial 3G services in Ho Chi Minh City in October 2009, and has now expanded the service to Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Can Tho in the south, together with some northern provinces.

Harvest the heads when fully grown but before the flower buds start to open. Romanesco broccoli can be prepared like broccoli—it's especially delicious when roasted or braised with plenty of garlic.
Common name: Romanesco broccoli
Botanical name: Brassica oleracea Botryoides Group
Plant type: Annual vegetable
Zones: Grows best in cooler climates
Height: 10 to 15 inches
Family: Brassicaceae
Growing conditions
- Sun: Full sun
- Soil: Fertile loam or sandy amended with organic matter
- Moisture: Evenly moist but well-drained
- Mulch: 1 to 2 inches of organic mulch such as clean straw or shredded leaves
- Pruning: None
- Fertilizer: Add compost before planting; then topdress with additional compost or apply diluted water-soluble fertilizer weekly.
- Seeds
Pests and diseases
- Caterpillars such as cabbage loopers may eat leaves; watch for them and remove or spray regularly with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis).
- Leaf, stem and root rots may occur, especially in wet conditions.
Garden notes
- As with other mustard family vegetables, Romanesco broccoli grows best in cool temperatures and with plenty of soil moisture.
- Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date (if properly hardened off, seedlings can be planted outside a week or more before the last frost date).
- Rotate the location of mustard-family vegetables in your garden each year to help avoid disease problems.
All in the family
- Romanesco broccoli is a member of the mustard family (Brassicaceae), a large family that includes many familiar vegetable crops and garden weeds.
- Brassica oleracea started out as a loose-leafed wild cabbage, but centuries of human selection and breeding resulted in many varying forms, including kale, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Taxonomists organize these forms into horticultural groups; for example, the Botryoides Group consists of cauliflower, Romanesco broccoli and broccoflower.

Project Eternity - Update #30, How Stuff is Made
The latest Kickstarter update for Project Eternity looks at "what's going on in the studio", including delving into the different departments of Art, Audio, Design, Production, Programming and QA:
Right now we are knee deep in pre-production. Pre-production is the period of time at the beginning of development where everything is planned and prototyped, production schedules are made, and pipelines are constructed. I'm not talking about oil pipelines here - I'm talking about asset pipelines. An asset pipeline can be described like an oil pipeline - First the asset is made by a content creator (like an artist), next the asset is processed by a tool so that the game understands what the heck it is, and finally the asset is placed into the game world in its final location. All of the different types of assets (stuff) require a custom pipeline. Pipeline creation is one of the many problems we are tackling right now in pre-production.

We are nine days away from the Bearcats season opener at Nippert Stadium. With fewer than 1000 tickets available to the general public, it appears that the game is going to be sold-out, so here is a quick reminder to those of you who are lucky enough to attend:
Come Early.
Be Loud.
Wear White.
And Don't Get Up To Use The Restroom If It's
That final item is a tongue-in-cheek reference to new head coach Tommy Tuberville and his history of making gutsy calls in hopes of pulling out a win.
"It started back when I was at Ole Miss," Coach Tuberville told me. "We weren't very good and had to take a lot of chances. Tim Brando was working for ESPN at the time and we went for it on fourth down a couple of times and made it and did some other crazy stuff and ended up winning the game. That's when he nicknamed me 'The Riverboat Gambler.' We really had no choice."
"When we first got to Ole Miss together, the program was kind of in disarray," said offensive coordinator Eddie Gran. "We had to 'smoke and mirror' some people, and he told our guys before every game that we weren't going to hold anything back. We were going to go for it on fourth down, we're going to have fakes, and we're going to do it when they're not expecting it. That's what he did. It was a lot of fun and the kids believed in it."
"I like to take chances," said Tuberville. "I don't like to give games away, but I like to give players a chance to win games."
One of Tuberville's most famous gambles came in the "Deep South's Oldest Rivalry" between Auburn and Georgia in 2001.
"They were probably favored by three touchdowns," said Tuberville. "We were only down by seven with a few minutes left in the half. They had a really fast return man and we couldn't cover him on punts, so on fourth down and about a foot at our own 13 yard line I said, 'If we punt it, they're going to return it to about the 15 and score anyway so let's go for it.' We ended up making it. A few plays later, it was fourth-and-nine in our own territory (27 yard line...you can look it up) and we faked a punt and picked up the first down. That was probably one of the crazier things that I've done, but it worked."
Final score: Auburn 24 Georgia 17
"In another game, we were able to score but we couldn't stop the other team," Tuberville told me. "So I told the players at halftime before we went back out that there was no reason for our punter to even come out. We were going to go for it on every fourth down. We ended up going for it on fourth down three times in the second half. We made it every time and won the game."
Beginning in his third year at Auburn, Coach Tuberville led the Tigers to at least one victory over an AP Top-10 team in a school-record seven consecutive seasons. He had a stretch of six straight wins over archrival Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Two years ago as a four-touchdown underdog, his Texas Tech team ended Oklahoma's 39-game home winning streak. Tuberville's record in bowl games is 7-3.
Is there a correlation between winning big games, pulling off upsets, and making the occasional risky call?
"I don't think there's any question about it," said Gran. "Sometimes you see head coaches in big games and if they get stressed out and are hooting and hollering and screaming, then that's the mentality that the kids are going to take. They feed off of the mentality of the head football coach. He's always been unbelievable in big games."
Of course, the calculated gambles don't always work, but after 17 years as a college head coach, Tuberville says he's not afraid to be second-guessed.
"I don't care about that - we're trying to win games," Tommy told me. "Everybody is going to second-guess you - there are times where people want you to go for it and you punt. I'm going to do what I think will give our players the best chance to win the game and a lot of times it's by gut feeling.
"You can't be predictable. And you want the guys in the Red and Black to know that this guy is trying to win the game."
Just remember that before you leave your seat.

The autologous blood injection model of intracerebral hemorrhage in mice described in this protocol uses the double injection technique to minimize risk of blood reflux up the needle track, no anticoagulants in the pumping system, and eliminates all dead space and expandable tubing in the system.
Date Published: 8/24/2011, Issue 54; doi: 10.3791/2618
Keywords: Neuroscience, Issue 54, stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, mice, animal model
Sansing, L. H., Kasner, S. E., McCullough, L., Agarwal, P., Welsh, F. A., Kariko, K. Autologous Blood Injection to Model Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Mice. J. Vis. Exp. (54), e2618, doi:10.3791/2618 (2011).
Investigation of the pathophysiology of injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) requires a reproducible animal model. While ICH accounts for 10-15% of all strokes, there remains no specific effective therapy. The autologous blood injection model in mice involves the stereotaxic injection of arterial blood into the basal ganglia mimicking a spontaneous hypertensive hemorrhage in man. The response to hemorrhage can then be studied in vivo and the neurobehavioral deficits quantified, allowing for description of the ensuing pathology and the testing of potential therapeutic agents. The procedure described in this protocol uses the double injection technique to minimize risk of blood reflux up the needle track, no anticoagulants in the pumping system, and eliminates all dead space and expandable tubing in the system.
1. Preparation of equipment
2. Preparation of mouse for injection
Note: Have mice delivered to your animal facility at least 7 days before the surgery to allow them to acclimate to the new environment and reduce stress.
3. Intracerebral hemorrhage surgery
Notes: During the entire surgery the mouse is anesthetized with 30% Oxygen, 70% Nitrous oxide, and 1-3% Isoflurane, continuously maintained at 37 ± 0.5°C using a thermistor-controlled heating pad and monitored by rectal thermometer.
4. Representative results:
Figure 1. Coronal section of mouse brain 15 minutes after ICH surgery. Immediately after sacrifice the brain was inspected for ICH success based on gross inspection of a coronal section at the needle insertion site. Hemorrhages that tracked down to the base of the brain, up the needle track past the corpus callosum, or into the ventricles were deemed unsuccessful and that mouse was eliminated from all analyses. Overall ICH success rates were 75-85% in 50 mice with 0% mortality.
Figure 2. Cylinder testing demonstrates left hemiparesis after right basal ganglia ICH. (A) Sample mouse rear after ICH surgery. Note the placement of only the right forelimb on the wall of the cylinder after left basal ganglia ICH. (B) Graph of cylinder testing 1 results from cohort of mice after ICH surgery (n=5) compared to sham (n=4). Sham mice had all procedures except blood injection (needle was inserted into brain). Each mouse was placed in a 12-cm diameter clear glass cylinder and observed for 20 rears. The initial placement of the forelimbs on the wall of the cylinder was scored per rear. Subsequent movements (such as lateral exploration) were not scored until the mouse returned to the ground and the next rear scored. The laterality index was calculated as (# right forelimb placements on the side of the cylinder - # left forelimb placements)/(# right + # left + # both), where 0 indicated no forelimb preference and 1 indicated only the right forelimb was used.

This surgical model of intracerebral hemorrhage in mice using autologous tail artery blood results in a reproducible model of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage. An ICH model in mice offers the advantage of the availability of transgenic animals to investigate pathophysiology; however, their small size makes neurosurgical procedures more technically difficult than in larger animals.
The collagenase model and the autologous blood injection model are two well-established models of experimental ICH. While the collagenase model offers an easier procedure and a highly reproducible hemorrhage 2, the bacterial protein used to degrade the basement membrane could potentially effect any investigation of innate inflammatory responses. In addition, collagenase-disrupted BBB could unnaturally facilitate drug access to the brain during pharmacological (e.g., neuroprotection) experiments. A warfarin-associated ICH model has also recently been developed 3, which allows investigation of hemorrhage expansion for this subset of patients. The benefits of the autologous blood injection model include presence of mechanical damage associated with mass effect, a sterile system without exogenous proteins, the ability to eliminate anticoagulation in order to investigate the natural coagulation and inflammation pathways after spontaneous hemorrhage, and exquisite control over the size of the hemorrhage. Since all mice have the same hemorrhage size, the effects of therapeutic interventions on both tissue and functional outcome can be studied with precision with relatively small sample sizes.
The surgical procedure described here is similar to other published models using autologous blood injection(4-7), and several steps in our protocol were based on these published protocols. Significant improvements in this technique include the elimination of all expandable tubing and dead space in the system, which could potentially interfere with accurate measurement of the volume of blood injected, elimination of all anticoagulants, and a moderately large hemorrhage volume compared to other models of non-anticoagulated blood. A 15 uL ICH in an average 450 uL adult mouse brain accounts for 3% of brain volume. This is roughly comparable to a 40 mL ICH in man, assuming normal average adult brain volume is 1400 mL. This ICH volume results in measurable neurological deficits that persist over two weeks for the study of recovery while maintaining zero mortality rate, which is of practical importance when using expensive transgenic animals.
Direct visualization of this surgery should eliminate common mistakes and aid in ease of replication. Hopefully this will translate to further investigation into the mechanisms of injury and accelerate the development of potential therapeutics.

RadioShack on Thursday evening tapped Joe Magnacca, who played a key role in making Walgreens' front-end transformation pop, to be the small-box electronics retailer's chief executive. On Friday morning, RadioShack's shares jumped as Wall Street absorbed the news.
And while that hire makes perfect sense for RadioShack, where does that leave Walgreens? While merchants the likes of Magnacca don't exactly grow on trees, in classic hedgehog style the news also speaks to the depth of Walgreen's bench. The company has a lot of faith in Bryan Pugh. They hired him to be chief merchant before they bought Duane Reade and acquired a problem just about any retailer would love to have: two very talented men leading the merchandising drive.
Being the hedgehog of retailing has brought Walgreens where it is today: on the verge of transforming community pharmacy into something no one before has ever imagined — no one but Walgreens.
L'Oréal has completed its acquisition of sonic skin care device manufacturer Pacific Bioscience Labs, which makes the Clarisonic family of products.
In a four- to 12-week period, power brushes with oscillating-rotating technology, pioneered by Oral-B, reduce plaque and gingivitis more than power brushes that move laterally from side-to-side, known as sonic, according to the Cochrane Collaboration, an independent healthcare research group.
Launching online at Target.com on Aug. 1 is the new Spa Sonic Skin Care System face and body polisher.

For yogi Hilaria Baldwin, pregnancy was an easy stretch
By Dorene Internicola
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Yoga teacher and fitness expert Hilaria Baldwin practices what she preaches and credits her easy pregnancy and labor to exercising - every day and sometimes during the night.
During her pregnancy, the wife of Emmy award-winning actor Alec Baldwin and new mother to 5-week-old Carmen Gabriela, said she gave up spinning classes for a less vigorous fitness regimen that included jogging.
But yoga, the 3,000-year-old practice that marries movement to breath, was the 29-year-old's primary thing.
"When I had aches and pains in the middle of the night, I'd just get out of bed and stretch," said Baldwin, who teaches at Yoga Vida in New York and will release a fitness DVD, "@Home with Hilaria Baldwin: Fit Mommy-to-Be Prenatal Yoga," on Tuesday.
"A lot of people are so afraid to exercise they do damage by becoming sedentary," she added.
In the absence of complications, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends 30 minutes of moderate exercise on most, if not all, days for pregnant women.
Dr. Raul Artal, an expert on exercise and pregnancy who helped develop the ACOG guidelines, said women who are physically active have easier labor and recovery than sedentary women.
"There are also positive effects on mood that may prevent depression," said Artal, a professor and chairman of the department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Women's Health at Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Continued...

My interpretation is that it is pretty much an advanced warning for the mall building itself.
I didn't realize there were people from my area on here. Cool! Appleton (and surrounding area) give me a shout if you would want to get together for a range day.

Don't freeze outside when you can go to an indoor range in Lomira. Midwest shooters supply has a great indoor range only 5 lanes but went on tuesday and had no problem shooting. Only 1 other person was there when we started. Great ventilation as well. Highly recommend it. As far as carrying goes, if they take away our right by putting up a sign that says no firearms allowed, and the state DOES NOT grant them immunity against any lawsuits that may arise from posting such a sign, do we still not technically have the upper hand and right to carry? I mean if I go in there and could have legally protected myself with my carry weapon and difused a situation wouldn't that be a good thing? However, if I obey their sign and then get hurt when I could have protected myself I can legally sue for taking my right away and the state of wisconsin will NOT stick up for the business because it doesn't grant them immunity for taking the rights of the people away. Yes it is up to the business, but it's almost going to take a severe situation, like the one at the movie theatre in colorado, to be diffused by someone who didn't obey that sign but took a gunmen out to protect everyone else before anyone realizes the good versus the bad. Anyways that's just a rant.

This is the part of WI law I am waiting for someone to use if a place is posted and someone comes in with a firearm like in the CO theater. If they don't post they are immune from liability. But what happens if they post? I think they are stating they are 100% responsible for your safety then. It will make an interesting case if or when it happens.
Wisconsin Statute 175.60 Concealed Carry Law
(21) Immunity.
(a) The department of justice, the department of transportation, and the employees of each department; clerks, as defined in sub. (11) (a) 1. a., and their staff; and court automated information systems, as defined under sub. (11) (a) 1. b., and their employees are immune from liability arising from any act or omission under this section, if done so in good faith.
(b) A person that does not prohibit an individual from carrying a concealed weapon on property that the person owns or occupies is immune from any liability arising from its decision.
(c) An employer that does not prohibit one or more employees from carrying a concealed weapon under sub. (15m) is immune from any liability arising from its decision.
(d) A person providing a firearms training course in good faith is immune from liability arising from any act or omission related to the course if the course is one described in sub. (4) (a).

All I can say is i am happy that the imfamous ALDI's in my neighbourhood (the one with the first CC shooting incident in Wisconsin), has finally removed the no gun posting.
I carry into the bank every Friday. I took my class with a guy from the same bank but a different branch. You'd probably be surprised at how many bank personnel carry.
We have different gifts, each according to the grace God has given to each of us.
If the Salon was posted No Firearms then it would be a great case I believe. If they posted it then I believe they are saying they are 100% responsible for your safety while on their property and the law does not protect them from liability then. The law states you are immune if you don't post or don't tell your employees they can't carry.
Funny thing about our local mall. Some of the outer doors have signs, but not all. But Sears, which is one of the anchor stores does not. (4 outside entrances to the store) Since Sears would be about the only reason I would go there, I don't worry about it. I have never noticed any signs in the parking lot.
As to my local bank, I carry every time. They don't have signs, and I don't expect them to ever add them.

Dennis Dottin-Carter, a standout player and former assistant coach at Delaware's Colonial Athletic Association rival University of Maine, was named the Blue Hens' defensive line coach in February, 2013. He was promoted to the position of co-defensive coordinator in March, 2014.
Dottin-Carter, now in his fifth year on the staff, was selected as Interim Head Coach on Oct. 16, 2016 after head coach Dave Brock was relieved of his duties. He led the Blue Hens for the final five weeks of the season and posted a record of 2-3, posting victories at home over Towson and on the road at Albany.
Dottin-Carter was retained on new head coach Danny Rocco's staff and will continue to lead the Blue Hen defensive linemen.
In 2015, Delaware's defense ranked No. 3 in the CAA in rushing defense (123.5/17th in NCAA), No. 3 in third-down conversion defense (.346/31st), No. 3 in scoring defense (20.5/22nd), and No. 5 in total defense (329.2/24th). Five Delaware defensive players earned All-CAA honors.
During the 2014 season, Delaware ranked No. 4 in the CAA in pass defense (197.2) and sixth in sacks (28). Under his tutelage, redshirt freshman Blaine Woodson was named the CAA Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Dottin-Carter also played a big role in the development of 2013 All-American defensive tackle Zach Kerr, who closed out his third season with the Indianapolis Colts in 2016.
Dottin-Carter, a native of Cambridge, Mass., earned his degree in kinesiology and physical education from the University of Maine following an outstanding playing career that saw him lead the Black Bears to Atlantic 10 (now CAA) titles in 2001 and 2002. He was a first team All-Atlantic 10 selection as a linebacker in 2002 when he also was named All-New England.
Dottin-Carter began his coaching career with former head coach Jack Cosgrove at Maine in 2008 as tights ends coach and also led the fullbacks, running backs, defensive line, and special teams during his five-year tenure.
He most recently served as Maine's defensive line and special teams coach. During his tenure, he coached five all-conference players, including All-American fullback Jared Turcotte in 2008. Maine led the CAA in scoring defense (19.5 points per game) and was fourth in sacks (22) in 2012.
Dottin-Carter served in the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship with the Atlanta Falcons in August, 2015 and did so again in 2016 with the Seattle Seahawks. The annual fellowship was launched in 1987 and is aimed to create more job opportunities for minority coaches.
"Dennis is an excellent teacher and will develop great players at Delaware," said Robb Smith, current defensive coordinator and secondary coach at the University of Arkansas and former linebackers coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and assistant coach at Maine. "He will demand toughness and accountability from his players while helping them to be the best that they can be on and off the field."

It is with a heavy heart that I have to post this.
Some of you might know that Jack Seastrom, father of Scott Seastrom has had some health issues recently. When we were in Choteau, Scott said that his dad's heart was weak and doctors weren't sure that he could come through a surgery.
The week following Choteau, Scott and Maggie moved him from Oklahoma to a facility in Arkansas to be closer to him and do what they could do.
In a phone call with Scott this morning, he told me that his dad "...passed to a better place..." last night.
Scott advises that he will have more information as to arrangements for a memorial service as soon as they are available.
Please keep Scott and Maggie in your thoughts and prayers.

: Agave Smoothing vs Kenra Smoothing
I was wondering if you could help me decide which treatment to go with. I have 3c hair, frizzy and uneven curls. I was trying to see which one would give me better results. I am looking for it to loosen my curls,wavy. I dont expect it to be straight but after washing at least looser curl less frizz. Both say they have curl reduction but wanted to see which one maybe would be better.
My hairdresser who does it does it on the side as well but will not prefer one over the other. Thanks !!!

Employees who have just lost their jobs usually leave their termination meetings in a foul mood. So, don't give them any reason during that meeting to send them marching to a lawyer's office. As you'll see in the following case, one inflammatory phrase from a supervisor can spark a lawsuit.
Case in point: During his termination meeting, an employee repeatedly asked why he was being fired. Finally, the employee was told that it was due to his "criminal lifestyle."
That phrase angered the employee, causing him to run out and sue for defamation.
The appeals court tossed out the lawsuit, saying that managers who are simply responding to "Why was I fired?" questioning shouldn't be placed on the hook for defamatory claims. (Charles v. Florida Department of Children and Families)
While the employer in that case won on a legal technicality, it still had to spend big bucks defending the lawsuit in court. The manager could have preven...(register to read more)

On the surface, it seemed that the Lakeridge football team nearly got caught looking ahead to this week's showdown with arch-rival Lake Oswego.
But looking ahead wasn't Lakeridge's only problem last Friday. The Pacers simply ran into a team that finally put it all together after struggling almost the entire season. The Pacers also were hindered by injuries to three defensive starters.
So, Lakeridge had to feel fortunate just to escape senior night with a 34-27 victory. It was a game in which Milwaukie held the lead three times, including the last time as the game headed into the fourth quarter.
'A lot of things, when added together, caused us not to play our best,' Lakeridge coach Rob Kool said.
Complicating matters for the Pacers was the fact that Milwaukie played its best game of the season. That was a big turnaround for a team that had gotten blown out a few times earlier in the campaign.
'I knew they were a much improved team,' Kool said of the Mustangs. 'And I knew they were going to come out and play hard.'
There didn't seem to be much to worry through the first period, though, as the Pacers jumped to a 10-0 lead on a 32-yard field goal by Nick Poggi and a 19-yard scoring run by Zach Young.
But the second quarter belonged entirely to the visiting Mustangs. Milwaukie got its first score when Sean Scott broke loose for a 25-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Andrew Lee followed later with an 11-yard scoring run that gave Milwaukie a 14-10 lead at halftime.
'Now you're in a battle,' Kool said.
But from the Mustangs' perspective, they were beginning to think that they could win the game.
The teams then traded a series of scores during the third quarter. The run started with Erik Hillier's 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Then, Scott scored on a short run to put Milwaukie back in front at 21-17
Lakeridge's Taylor Young answered a short time later with a 13-yard scoring run, which gave Lakeridge the lead back at 24-21. Then, Milwaukie returned the favor when Paul Hubbard scored on a 17-yard pass from Lee to put the Mustangs back in front at 27-24.
Kool admitted later that he was frustrated after seeing his team give up the lead for the third time. But no one on the Pacers' side was panicking.
'I felt we were going to score again as long as we didn't turn the ball over,' Kool said.
Sure enough, the Pacers got the lead back for good in the fourth quarter when Taylor Young hauled in a 15-yard scoring toss from Robbie Kool, which made the score 31-27. Later, Poggi put the finishing touches on the victory when he hit a 31-yard field goal.
Coach Kool loved the way his team played on offense. That included 104 yards rushing and another 160 yards passing by Robbie Kool. Plus, Zach Young ran for 88 yards, and Taylor Young, Jeff Hutchens and Cam Gerson combined for nine catches for 144 yards. But it took that kind of an effort to hold off a pesky Milwaukie team.
'Give (Milwaukie) all the credit in the world,' coach Kool said. 'I think they're a much improved football team since the beginning of the year.'
Things won't get any easier for the Pacers, who play Lake Oswego on Friday when the league title will be up for grabs.
'It's no secret that we have to slow down their power game to have any chance to win,' coach Kool said. 'If we don't do that, then we'll be in trouble.'
'But we also have the kind of offense that could cause them some problems.'
One thing is for sure. No one will be looking past that game.

"The initial reaction from people who are advocates of the poor that this is picking or this is a targeting, I think it's an over-reaction. We'd like them to work with us, because they don't want people to be on drugs who are on welfare. Who the heck does? Nobody does."
Gov. John Kasich
"In law enforcement in general, there's just a lot of things going on out there that officers face every day that are dangerous situations -- whether it's domestic violence or any other acts of violence -- and I don't think that the general public understands that."
Millersburg Police Auxiliary Capt. Brad Conn
"It's a simple thing. You either raise revenues or cut expenses or some combination of the two."
Wooster Mayor Bob Breneman
"We currently have a reactive agency. Due to the calls for service and limited manpower there is limited time for proactive policing."
Wooster Police Chief Matt Fisher
Buzz, the Tea Party folks I talk with want to eliminate ALL federal subsidies and welfare; we dont want to pick winners and losers - we want it all to end! I agree that we should treat all federal welfare recipients equally - cut off federal funds to every one of them! That means more of the wealth that hard working taxpayers accumulate is theirs to keep. We have to look at both sides of the transaction: the government cannot give anything that is has not first taken from the rightful owner. People need to fend for themselves or accept charity from the community. If accepting charity is uncomfortable (and it should be for those who are capable of working), then get a job. If you cannot care for yourself because of a true inability; the generosity of the community will ensure your survival, maybe not at the middle-class level many recipients currently enjoy, but you will survive.
Maybe drug test the loon left.We could start with you buzzy.

'The Maze Runner' Trailer: Can Dylan O'Brien Escape the Maze?
After months of fans pestering director Wes Ball for a look on social media, 'The Maze Runner' trailer has finally debuted online, giving us our first look at footage from this new young-adult genre adaptation. It's timed so it will be screened in front of the next big young-adult hit, 'Divergent' (which is trying to be the new 'Hunger Games,' so there's a circle of life thing here). With 20th Century Fox already working on a sequel, it's possible they've got another winner on their hands.
Freddie Mercury Biopic Loses Current Director, May Be Cursed
Sacha Baron Cohen was attached to the Freddie Mercury biopic for many years, but once the project started moving forward Cohen left, and the film seemed like it might die. But then Ben Whishaw joined and actor-turned-director Dexter Fletcher was hired to helm the project. Now Fletcher has left the film, citing "creative differences," which makes us wonder if this project is cursed.
'Annie' Trailer: The Sun (and Jamie Foxx) will Come Out This Christmas
Sony has dropped the first 'Annie' trailer, giving us our first look at this long-gestating remake and possible Oscar contender. Starring Jamie Foxx, recent Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis, and Cameron Diaz, this footage has got us humming along.
'Ghostbusters 3′ is Moving Forward After the Death of Harold Ramis
With the passing of Harold Ramis, it seemed another monkey wrench had been thrown into the plans of the long rumored 'Ghostbusters 3,' which co-writer and star Dan Aykroyd has been working on for over twenty years. Now it's been revealed that commerce trumps tragedy as Sony and director Ivan Reitman are definitely moving forward with the project.
'Tammy' Trailer: Melissa McCarthy is a Bad Thief
Considering Melissa McCarthy had three films that made over a hundred million dollars last year, is it fair to call her America's sweetheart? She's definitely the most high-profile comedienne working today, and her latest, 'Tammy,' just released its first trailer. And no surprise, it puts McCarthy front and center.
'Zombeavers' Trailer: Yes, This is a Real Movie
'Pitch Perfect 2′ is Bringing Back Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson
When 'Pitch Perfect 2' was greenlit, it was assumed -- or at least hoped for -- that stars Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson would return. The former led the first film, while the latter was its breakout performer. And if you're a fan of 'Pitch Perfect' you'll be happy to know that both are coming back for the sequel.
Brad Pitt May Reteam with Tom Cruise for 'Go Like Hell'
It's been almost twenty years since 'Interview with a Vampire' hit theaters, which means it's been about twenty years since Tom Cruise last worked with Brad Pitt. But the duo could reunite for Joseph Kosinski's 'Go Like Hell.'
'50 Shades of Grey' Casts Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey
Dealing with Charlie Hunnam's recent departure, the makers of '50 Shades of Grey' had to make quick work of finding a new actor to play Christian Grey. The replacement has been found. It's Jamie Dornan.
'Anchorman 2′ Trailer: Ron Burgundy is Back and Dumber Than Ever!
UPDATE: Now with a bonus, international trailer below, with tons of new footage!
Why would a man have a bag of bowling balls and a scorpion terrarium in his car? Well, that's Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) for you. And if the first full trailer for 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' didn't hit as many high notes as one might hope, this latest trailer delivers and then some.
'Anchorman 2′ Gets Its Own Ice Cream
Though 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' isn't due in theaters until the end of the year, in anticipation of the sequel to one of the most quotable films ever made, Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream have created a flavor in tribute to Will Ferrell's character Ron Burgundy. That flavor? Scotchy Scotch Scotch.
Jennifer Lawrence Will Cameo in 'Dumb and Dumber 2′
We know it's no fun to have surprises spoiled, but this is too good to ignore. Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence has joined the cast of 'Dumb and Dumber To' for a small role, and we couldn't be happier for her, because Lawrence has revealed herself to be a 'Dumb and Dumber' super-fan.

Back in January, we took a look at three gaming notebooks from Evesham, Rock and AJP based on the Clevo chassis. These all used a GO 7800 GTX GPU and were blisteringly fast in games. With SLI notebooks just around the corner, mobile graphics acceleration is taking off in a big way as more people consider a desktop replacement as a viable alternative for gaming.
One feature of the Clevo chassis is that the GPU is in a proprietary module that can easily be removed and replaced. Although this isn't something the end user will be doing, it does make it a lot easier for notebook suppliers to choose which graphics chip you will be taking home. When ATI's new mobile X1800 XT was launched yesterday, rock direct supplied us with a module to upgrade our previously reviewed Extreme CT. This gave us a perfect opportunity to compare it to NVIDIA's mobile 7800 GTX in the same notebook, in a true head-to-head stylee.
The X1800 XT is essentially the same as the desktop part, with 16 pixel pipelines and the super-efficient 256-bit ring bus memory architecture. Core speeds will vary from notebook to notebook, but the module we were sent ran at 550MHz core and 650MHz (1,300MHz effective) memory.
The Rock Extreme CT we used has an overclocking facility bringing the 2.13GHz Pentium M up to a speedy 2.45GHz. This will help to reduce the bottleneck of the CPU on graphics performance.
It is worth noting that the recently released Rock Extreme CTX differs in specification to the CT with a slightly newer chassis that supports Core Duo.
Above we see the Rock Extreme CT with its 17in screen at a resolution of 1,920x1,200. With resolutions as high as this, running games requires quite a bit of grunt.
11 screws later and we have exposed the gubbins inside the Extreme CT.

|I have a 1+ year old Kenmore HE4t washer. Model # 11045992400. Over the past couple of months I've occasionally had the washer stop (apparently during the spin cycle) with an error code of F11. I was able to just hit start again and it would complete. A couple of times I couldn't tell whether it had gone thru rinse so I would run the rinse/spin cycle.
In the past week, I'm starting to get the F11 code with every load - big or small. And occasionally, I'm getting FDL. I called Sears and was told about resetting the machine. I did that but now it's getting worse. Is there a connection between the two codes? Do I have a serious control panel problem?
Help - I have a very smelly 15 year football and hockey player...
