A field of six fillies passed the entry box for Saturday's Mother Goose Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park. The 1 1/8-mile contest features a who's who of 3-year-olds and marks the grade I debut of Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II) winner Spun Sugar. She'll need to get by Kentucky Oaks (gr. I) star Summerly, though, if she is to take home top prize.Adena Springs and Stronach Stables' homebred Spun Sugar was most impressive on Preakness Stakes (gr. I) weekend, driving to a 3 3/4-length win in the slop after being carried six paths wide. Trained by Todd Pletcher, the daughter of Awesome Again enters the race off three straight wins in the clear along with a string stellar works over the Elmont, N.Y., track.With rider John Velazquez in Virginia to guide the Pletcher-trained English Channel in the Colonial Turf Cup, the conditioner gives Javier Castellano the call for a trip from post three and a spot on the pace for her preferred stalking trip. Looming out of post six will be Winchell Thoroughbreds' multiple graded stakes winner, Summerly. The daughter of Summer Squall proved she can handle the distance Oaks Day with a two-length score over In the Gold.Bred in Kentucky by the partnership of T. F. Van Meter and Michael Lowenbaum, and conditioned by Steve Assmussen, the chestnut Summerly brought $410,000 at the 2003 Keeneland September yearling sale and has earned the Winchell outfit a $709,763 return on their investment.In addition to the Oaks, Summerly was easily the best annexing the Fair Grounds Oaks (gr. II) in March, and ridden out after a 3 1/4-length score in the Silverbulletday Stakes (gr. II) at Fair Grounds in February. Her only blemish in 2005 came in the Ashland Stakes (gr. I) at Keeneland where she was no threat to divisional foe Sis City.A bullet work (4f, Fast, 47.43, B, 1/41) at Belmont on Tuesday shows she likes the surface and is up to the task. Out of the Mr. Prospector mare Here I Go, Summerly has shown early speed in her wins and looks to be one to reckon with on the front. Asmussen gives Jerry Bailey, who was up for the Oaks, the mount. Phipps Stables' homebred Smuggler was game in defeat earlier in the month over the track in the grade I Acorn Stakes, second to Round Pond. Never worse than second in five career starts, the daughter of Unbridled is looking for her first stakes win.Trained by Phipps family regular Shug McGaughey, Smuggler is familiar with the Belmont surface and put up a fine work (5f, Fast, 59.92, B, 4/30) herself early in the week. She looks to be the primary threat to the top two. Edgar Prado also subbing for Smuggler's regular rider John Velazquez, gets the mount for a trip from post two.Seeking the Ante, by Seeking the Gold, Winning Season, by Lemon Drop Kid , and Lady Pegasus, by Fusaichi Pegasus, round out the field from the rail out.Mother Goose Stakes (gr.

Definitely. Compile does improve execution speed of some code.
But my experience is spending a bit more time understanding the
problem and avoiding the use of things like For is more
effective at improving execution speed than simply using
Compile. And as you've note, Compile will degrade the execution
speed of some code. Compile is definitely something that needs
to be used intelligently.

Per the documentation, Equal treats to machine precision values
as being equal when they match except for the last 7 binary
digits (~2 decimal digits). The reason you are not getting True
for the comparison above is each method is doing a different set
of operations on the data which lead to differences due to the
limits of machine precision. You can gain a bit more insight as follows:
In[27]:= data = 100 + Accumulate[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {10000}]];
In[28]:= a = maMathematica[data, 30, 250, 10]; b =
maConvolve[data, 30, 250, 10]; c = maSpan[data, 30, 250, 10];
d =
maDrop[data, 30, 250, 10];
In[29]:= Outer[Equal, {a, b, c, d}, {a, b, c, d}, 1]
Out[29]= {{True, True, True, False}, {True, True, True, False}, {True,
True, True, False}, {False, False, False, True}}
which shows the method based on Drop is the one causing your
comparison to yield False rather than True.
In[30]:= Outer[
Union[Flatten@Chop[#1 - #2]] == {0} &, {a, b, c, d}, {a, b, c,
d}, 1]
Out[30]= {{True, True, True, True}, {True, True, True, True}, {True,
True, True, True}, {True, True, True, True}}
which shows each method does return the same result for within
the limitations of machine precision computations.
In[34]:= data = 100 + Accumulate[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {500}]];
In[35]:= a = maMathematica[data, 30, 250, 10]; b =
maConvolve[data, 30, 250, 10]; c = maSpan[data, 30, 250, 10];
d =
maDrop[data, 30, 250, 10];
In[36]:= Outer[Equal, {a, b, c, d}, {a, b, c, d}, 1]
Out[36]= {{True, True, True, True}, {True, True, True, True}, {True,
True, True, True}, {True, True, True, True}}
showing when the number of operations is reduced all methods
yield True when compared using Equal. So, the issue is clearly
loss of significance as computations are done with machine
precision values.
One other thought you may want to consider. You tested for
execution times only. Although, I've not looked at each of the
methods in detail, I suspect the memory requirements for each
will also differ. When working with large data sets, this might
be a more significant factor than execution time.

Petition Filed to Stop Same-Sex Marriages
SACRAMENTO -- A petition has been filed with the state Supreme Court in an effort to halt same-sex marriages in California.
Counsel for Prop 8, Andrew Pugno, filed the petition against all 58 county clerks to stop them from performing same-sex marriages.
The measure was passed by the will of the voters and is a valid part of the state constitution, Pugno said.
In a statement, he said, "We are asking California's Supreme Court to restore the rule of law and the public's confidence in the integrity of the initiative process."
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the measure in June.

Our Constitution is a straightforward and objective volume setting forth the text of the Constitution of the United States and the most important interpretations of that document by the U.S. Supreme Court and by other actors in our constitutional system. It focuses on the most important interpretations of the Constitution -- those that have shaped our understandings of the Constitution and been of greatest historical consequence and enduring significance for the nation. The emphasis is on what has proven to be foundational, historic, or enduring, not on right and wrong.
This is not a work of commentary. It leaves entirely to the reader the task of evaluating the merits of the interpretations. The cases and other documents are presented here, unadorned -- and uncorrupted -- by critical commentary. They are edited into as concise a form as possible, to make them accessible to general readers interested in America's Constitution.
Not everything the Supreme court has said about the Constitution (or that the authors of The Federalist, or the framing generation, or revered Presidents, or leading members of Congress have said) is correct interpretation of the Constitution. The materials presented here simply lay out what has been said about the Constitution that has proved to be of enduring importance in shaping our understanding of the Constitution, for good or for ill. The task of interpreting the interpretations — of evaluating these interpretations of the Constitution — is for the critical reader today. This reflects the faith of the Constitution's framers that "We the People of the United States" would be, and remain, the masters of our own written constitution, fully capable of interpreting it for ourselves, doing so correctly, and applying it faithfully.

NY Public Library Encourages Kids to Chill Out with Summer Reading
The school year isn't over yet, and technically it isn't even summer. But as temps soared into the 90s Thursday, the New York Public Library launched its annual summer reading program. And for the first time, the library will let students count Internet reading along with books in their summer diaries.
Jack Martin, assistant director of public programs for children, teens and families for the New York Public Library, says that's because the nature of reading has changed.
"Reading can mean reading online, reading can mean reading a newspaper, reading can mean reading a book," he explained at a celebration outside the Seward Park library branch in Chinatown featuring a student band, a clown and the library system's mascot, the lion Fortitude.
"We've actually revamped our website to capture all those different kinds of activities. So kids can record the actual books that they read during the summer if they read books. But they can also log the amount of time that they read."
Fifteen year-old Brittany Lopez of the Bronx was last year's summer reading champ. She read 325 books last summer, more than any other kid in the library program. "I read them anywhere I went, home, library park, anywhere," said the ninth grader at Morris Academy for Collaborative Studies in the Bronx. "I have no idea what got into me. I wanted to see how far I could go."
The library's goal is to sign up 100,000 students this summer. Seventy-five thousand students participated last year.
The event in Chinatown was to support summer reading. But volunteers also passed out petitions against the mayor's plan to cut $40 million in library funding out of the next fiscal year's budget.

I feel so loved! My wonderful David had a beautiful, custom cake made just for me! He knows me so well it's crazy -it's a Tiffany's blue box cake. I absolutely LOVE Tiffany & Co. Not simply because of the blue box itself, it's color or it's reference to my very favorite actress, but because of the feeling/atmosphere and special-ness of the store and the beautiful jewelry they sell. On top of that, he bought me beautiful, black patent Michael Kors flats (very comfortable) and a sophisticated gradient gray patent Nine West Handbag with huge buttons....
I am going to send a nice thank you card to the talented Marga from Ideastream, who expertly made my cake...which I want to eat, but don't want to destroy ;)

Stop Bear Farming/Bile Company's Listing on China Stock Exchange 呼吁阻止归真堂上市扩大活熊取胆运作
Gui ZhenTang Pharmaceutical Company http://www.gztxd.com/index.aspx, a Chinese bear bile producer in Fujian Province, has been preparing to get listed on the Chinese stock market to expand its bear farming and bile manufacturing activities. The company has about 470 bears under its control and is now looking to scale up to thousands of bears. In the past week or so, there has been huge uproar and anger among the Chinese Internet community regarding this. Some in China have suggested that the public listing of the company should not be allowed as it will not be in the public interest.
The bear farming industry is extremely cruel. In order to facilitate bile extraction, the bears undergo an invasive surgical procedure where a permanent wound is created in their gall bladder and abdominal wall. The infected wound, and repeated attempts at bile extraction, causes great suffering to the bears and this, together with the lifelong cage confinement, results in serious physical and psychological damage, and ultimately an agonising death.
China is the only country that allows the legal existence of this cruel industry, and this has caused and will continue to cause damage in the international community to the standing and image of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Chinese people and China, a huge stain on their reputation.
Today, driven by profit, bear farmers are expanding the scale of their industry, engaging in illegal export of bile, and the number of bears on farms has greatly increased in recent years. However, as China develops a more civilised society, an increasing percentage of the population is rejecting the presence of the farming industry and the sale of bear bile within their communities. In recent years, the Chinese Government has issued regulations limiting the development of the industry and the usage of bear bile.
Apart from the pains and sufferings caused to the bears, the products from the bear farming industry may also threaten the health and lives of consumers. The abdominal wounds of the bears are permanently exposed to an unsterile environment, and the extraction procedure causes increased infection of this wound, and within the gall bladder and surrounding organs such as the liver. Consequently, the bear farmers are forced to use a significant amount of antibiotics to treat the infection and diseases thus caused.
Please sign the petition (and please ask your friends too) to the Chinese securities and other releant regulatory authorities to urge them not to approve the public listing of Gui Zhen Tang, helping to stop the cruelty and make bear farming a thing of the past!
Here is a new video of a song for the bears - new words written to a very popular Chinese song. It's in Chinese but the picture says it all! It's called "In Spring" - Bear Rescue Action Song

Dear Sir/Madame,
I am shocked and saddened to learn that a Chinese company, Gui Zhen Tang Pharmaceutical Company in Fujian Province, is currently pursuing a listing on the Chinese Stock Exchange to raise funds to expand its bear farming and bile manufacturing operations. I am also relieved to learn that their plan has been strongly challenged and criticised by the Chinese public.
It is commonly acknowledged that the bear farming industry is extremely cruel, causing great suffering to the bears and confining them lifelong to small cages, resulting in very serious physical and psychological damage and ultimately an agonising death.
I have also learned with great sadness that China is the only country that still allows the existence of the bear farming industry. This industry and its cruel practices have caused and will continue to cause damage in the international community to the reputation and image of Traditional Chinese Medicine and of China and the Chinese people, a stain on their standing.
Therefore, I believe that the public listing of the Gui Zhen Tang will not be in the public interest of China and the Chinese people. I urge you to take this into account when considering the application from Gui Zhen Tang or any bear farm or bile company to be listed on the Chinese Stock Exchange and reject any such proposals.
I respectfully request you to consider the issues I have raised and my concerns. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,

It was simply fantastic news for Newcastle United at the DW Stadium tonight, when after a full 9 minutes of added time Swansea beat Wigan 3-2, and Wigan remain 3 points behind Newcastle with the exact same goal difference of -23, the worst goal difference in the league except for the two already relegated sides QPR and Reading.
Wigan players look a little dejected
Wigan were leading 2-1 after 53 minutes, but Swansea came back with goals from Itey Shechter after 59 minutes and Dwight Tiendalli after 76 minutes for the win – and it's a massively positive result for Newcastle.
Wigan had gone ahead – at just the right time – when Roger Espinoza scored in added time of the first half, but Angel Rangel equalized five minutes into the second half, before James McCarthy put Wigan 2-1 ahead three minutes later.
Newcastle must now go to QPR with some confidence – and our lads need to play their hearts out for the win – because it really looks like Alan Pardew was now right when he said after the 1-1 draw at West Ham on Saturday – that a win at QPR will see Newcastle safe.
After goal difference, the next decider is goals scored, and Wigan have now scored one more than Newcastle after scoring 7 goals in their last three games, whereas Newcastle have scored just the one in the last four games.
But it could be that Newcastle's poor goal difference will not matter, if we can get two decent results in the last two matches at QPR on Sunday and then against Arsenal at home a week on Sunday.
Fulham and Aston Villa are on 40 points, Southampton are on 39 points and then Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle are on 38 points – but it could be that Wigan will finally be relegated, after managing to dodge the drop so many times over the last several years.
Wigan play Manchester City in the FA Cup Final on Saturday and they are at Arsenal on Tuesday night, and finish the season at home to Aston Villa on May 19th – and they will need to win at least one of those games, if they are to have any chance of another escape this season.
But that's also three matches in eight days for Wigan – something they are not used to with their small squad.
We need to see Newcastle get the win on Sunday – nothing less – and then if Wigan don't beat Arsenal on Tuesday we are safe – and it will be official.
Howay The Lads!!

Click any word in a definition or example to find the entry for that word
an opinion poll (= an attempt to find out what people think about a subject by asking them questions about it) whose real purpose is to influence people's opinions rather than to collect information about them
'A Bedford resident complained to the state attorney general's office about a campaign telephone poll from Hawkins that was critical of Sanborn. Sanborn called such push polls a "dirty way" to get elected.'Concord Monitor 11th September 2012
'The technique of push polling is part of the election battle being fought on the ground in the swing states where the margins of victory have been narrow in past elections.'The Guardian 3rd October 2008
With the US presidential election now only weeks away, supporters of particular candidates are becoming increasingly zealous in their attempts to influence the outcome of the vote. Among the range of tactics employed in an effort to convince potential voters that their man (or woman) is the one to go for, is the push poll – political advertising in a cunning disguise.
the essential difference between a push poll and a valid opinion poll, is that the latter merely attempts to elicit opinions, whilst the former aims to change and influence them
In essence, a push poll is something approaching a smear campaign (= an attempt to damage someone's reputation by giving false information about them) masquerading as an opinion poll (= a survey used to gather information about general opinions on a particular topic). A push poll typically involves phoning very large numbers of voters and, in the guise of doing a survey to find out how certain pieces of 'information' may affect their voting preferences, feeding them false or damaging information about a particular candidate. The idea then is to 'push' them away from any rival candidate and steer them towards the candidate that the caller supports. Crucially then, the essential difference between a push poll and a valid opinion poll, is that the latter merely attempts to elicit opinions, whilst the former aims to change and influence them. In a push poll, large numbers of respondents are contacted, but little or no effort is made to collect and analyze response data because no-one is really interested in this information once the phone call is over, the main aim having been to negatively influence the targeted candidate.
The derived term push polling is sometimes used to refer to this as a technique, and one of the most notorious implementations of it occurred in the US Republican Primaries of 2000 (in the USA, the Primaries are the selection process by which voters within a particular party choose its presidential candidate). Allegedly, supporters of George W. Bush used push polling to sabotage the campaign of rival John McCain, reportedly asking if voters were more or less likely to vote for McCain if they had known that he had fathered an illegitimate (black) child. In the 2008 presidential election, some Jewish voters were targeted by a push poll attempting to damage Barack Obama by false accusations of a link to the Palestinian Liberation Organization. As we speak, allegations of push polls are rife as campaigns for candidates in the 2012 presidential election enter their final phase.
The expression push poll first emerged in the mid-nineties in the USA, and is mainly associated with US politics, though there's some more recent evidence for its use in Australia. The technique's origins are often linked to the aggressive tactics associated with the late Lee Atwater, an American political consultant and strategist to the Republican Party.
The word poll dates right back to Middle English, when it originally meant 'head', and later, by extension, 'an individual person among a number'. This in turn developed into the sense of 'the number of people determined by counting of heads', which by the 17th century had morphed into simply 'the counting of heads or votes'.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/1/2014 (1247 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Souris Sabres standout Sarah Palson has been honoured for her superb season by being named the Tri-Star rural high school athlete of the week.
The 5-foot-10 senior post player is averaging 20.4 points, 14.2 rebounds, 4.3 steals and 4.4 blocks per game for the Sabres. Palson was named most valuable player while leading the Souris varsity girls' basketball team to tournament titles at the Treherne Invitational and Sabres Shootout and earning the nod as a tournament all-star while helping the Sabres win the Steinbach Christian Tournament.
"Sarah is a hardworking young woman with a love for the game," stated Sabres coach Trever Penner. "She has put in countless hours to prepare herself for her senior season and it has paid off."

Council Eyes New Radio Rating System
New York, NY —
New technology aimed at better gauging a radio station's listenership is drawing fire from some minority run stations who say it undercuts their ratings. They say the new "People Meters," made by the company Arbitron, aren't given to enough minorities.
In testimony before the City Council, Arbitron president, Steve Morris, said the new system caused ratings to drop all around.
MORRIS: It's not just urban and Spanish language stations that are impacted by this affinity for a station or a personality. The phenomenon affects all stations, all formats in varying degrees.
The old system relied on listeners to log their listening habits and Morris says they over report, especially on shows they listen to everyday.
The City Council has no jurisdiction over the use of the Arbitron device. Members want the FCC to investigate the new technology before it's officially rolled out in New York City.
The new technology is already in use in cities like Philadelphia and Houston.

The Old Trafford club want the England international, who had attracted interest from Premier League rivals Arsenal, to commit to a long-term deal worth £70,000-a-week
By Paul Clennam
Manchester United want to sit down with Chris Smalling in the next few weeks to discuss a new five-year contract.
The versatile defender had been tracked by Arsenal for several months, with the the Gunners wanting to include the former Fulham man in a deal which would have taken Thomas Vermaelen to Old Trafford. However, United rejected Arsenal's offer and the Belgian ultimately opted to move to Barcelona instead.
The Red Devils are now planning to offer Smalling an improved long term deal worth €87,000 per week.
The England international has less than two years remaining on his current deal and United want to secure his future at the club.
The 24-year-old made 39 appearances in all competitions under former manager David Moyes last season and earned a place in Roy Hodgson's England World Cup squad.
Smalling also played the full 90 minutes in Louis van Gaal's first competitive game in charge at Old Trafford, a 2-1 defeat to Swansea City.

Streetcar Redux
Keeping Austin weird since 1995, the Texas theatrical collective Rude Mechanicals aims to create works that express "big ideas, cheap laughs, and dizzying spectacle." To that end, it has challenged and revised sacred cultural cows such as The Decameron, Snow White, and The Taming of the Shrew and produced works with intriguing titles like Requiem for Tesla, Get Your War On, and Have You Ever Been Assassinated? Like much of the troupe's work, its latest touring production, The Method Gun, reflects on theater itself, specifically the world of acting instructors and their strenuous methodologies. It follows a company attempting to stage an avant-garde production of A Streetcar Named Desire without its controversial coach, Stella Burden ("the other Stella"). The sextet of actors performs in this unpredictable meta-comedy combining tiger costumes, swinging pendulums, balloons, nudity, video projection, and stultifying dance moves — Tennessee Williams on acid. For the Rude Mechanicals, it's just another day at the office.

Mural dream becomes an artistic reality in Nashua
By KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent | July 11. 2014 5:56PM
Vivian's dream mural Barbara Andrews uses an enlarged pony express post card to help guide her while painting a mural of the former Tremont House hotel in downtown Nashua. Kimberly Houghton
"This city has so much to offer, and I am glad to have the opportunity to show off its beauty," said Andrews, an artist who is in the process of completing her third historical mural in the city.
Vivian's dream mural Barbara Andrews paints a large mural Friday on West Pearl Street in Nashua. Kimberly Houghton
Vivian's dream mural Artist Barbara Andrews works on a massive mural Friday on West Pearl Street in Nashua. The painting is expected to be finished next week. Kimberly Houghton
Andrews found a historical postcard of West Pearl Street during the early 1900s at the Nashua Historical Society.
The 40-foot by 35-foot mural is still a work in progress, but should be completed soon. One of the major challenges with the mural is that the display wall was not constructed as an exterior wall, said Andrews. The former Tremont House hotel where Theodore Roosevelt visited was once attached to the building.
"This was truly Vivian's dream," said Judith Carlson of City Arts Nashua. "There is a piece of history behind this mural, and it will become a downtown icon."
Although Vivian Walker passed away at the age of 84 in 2011, her dream will live on through the artistic talents and vision being brought forward by Andrews, and the generous donations of so many people and businesses, said Carlson.
About 12 gallons of paint have already been used on the mural, which will eventually be illuminated with lighting at night. The public is invited to attend a dedication ceremony of the mural at 1:30 p.m. July 20 at the TD Bank parking lot behind Main Street.

The forcast for tomorrow is nasty as a mofo. Disc cracking weather. Wind chills in the negatives with highs in the teens. That's a bit too gnarly for a tournament. The race will be on for the following Saturday. December 14th. Please call me if u have any questions. 503 927 2779.
we should still play dubs I went and threw 27 holes in the snow storm before work today so I say who cares about the weather
For sure. I played Brutal Hill in 50mph winds and rain. I did it, but I wouldn't call it enjoyable! Ha!
That a crazy course on a crazy day
Dude,! I I think my firebird got frost bite....wtf.
Doubles on Nov 30th is cancelled as myself and many others will be out of town for the holiday.
Seeing Doubles will begin Saturday Dec 7th with a singles ACE RACE for the current $200 pool. Tee time is anytime after 10:30am Scorecards must be turned in by 2:30. 1 point for metal, 2 points for chain, and 5 points for an ace. 2 rounds, 3 throws each hole.
1st place gets $100, 2nd place gets $50, 3rd gets $25, and the remaining $25 will go to a CTP after the event.
-This event is not open to the public- ENTRY IS FREE for members who have
paid at least 4 sat dubs entry fees
i dont like it lets put it to a vote
this is a great idea. locals only!
That sucks. Can't make it to that Saturday. Guess no shot at the $ I put into it.
Sorry bout that Tim, but if it was a regular match you may also lose out on a prize. If it makes you feel better i will refund your $10 from the events you attended.
Im just trying to dump this ace pool. The last few matches have been frustrating for me. I just want to throw plastic you know? When people show up just for the $ the fun just goes away, and there have been a bunch of people traveling to our matches for the ace pool alone. Im sorry you canu2019t mak ... more
Im just trying to dump this ace pool. The last few matches have been frustrating for me. I just want to throw plastic you know? When people show up just for the $ the fun just goes away, and there have been a bunch of people traveling to our matches for the ace pool alone. Im sorry you canu2019t make the ace race man. Next season will have a capped ace pool of $100 that goes directly to the player. Newbies will have to complete 2 matches for eligibility.
If that pool gets capped the $1 will go to a 3rd place prize, and bigger 1st, and 2nd place prizes
Yay, ace race! This is gonna rock! ****in honkies!
Nick I understand. It's all good! We could always just do a couple Closest to Pin each round for the $ too! That way the pot is used up each week and then more people make the $ back!
I like it. We need to have a club meeting. Perhaps over some joe.
Sounds good!
who cares if people just want to come out for the acepot I think it gets the course more recognition man so I say come one come all
I hear you stix, but what is getting recognition? The park or the $200 pool? As soon as that thing gets dumped we will see attendance drop in half.
yeah I get what you are saying man so are we gonna do the ace race this weekend
I aced 3 today with a forehand flick it was sick
Can't play Saturday again...this is getting old! Sucks ass! Play well my friends! Who knows when i can play again.
Yes. Ace race tomorrow.
6 newbies yesterday, and a handful of regulars absent. Wild day out there! I sucked and my partner carried the whole round for a win. I know some of you are concerned about a strange dude taking the ace pot, but our dubs is open to the public. Everyone is eligible if they pay entry. Defend home field ladies. See you guys next week.
Sweet turnout. Congrats to Woody on the CTP, and the win. See u hose heads next week!
Crazy! Playing in a storm! Congrats Cam and Jeff on the win.
Unflippin believable. Totally different game in a storm. Funk n yeah
It was blowing! I think I'm used to it though.
Sweet turnout. P dale and PAC Man almost birdied the entire back 9. No dubs next week. Monster Flick is on next saturday.See you hosers later!
yeah im not gonna be able to make the monster flick i have disctoberfest at sorosis
Fast moving game today. The new guy (Tim) can bring some game. Watch out for him. Hope everyone digs the shirts. More **** next week. Stay tuned!
Sorry boys. Basically I had to scramble to get to Brutal Hill today. Cam & I went last minute. /Cam +12 / Nick +9/ I was packing the paperwork, and ace pot, but had no time, or car to go across the river. All will be back to normal next week. Super sorry guys. ( and I KNEW Stix would show up. Die hard. )
hey i think i lost my yeti down on the course if anyone finds it i will buy them a beer
for reals!?
think so its the dark red one with the lilac city open stamp on it
I was there for three hours
Well ladies the day has finally arrived. The pin for 9 is now moved back about 45ft by the boulder. Thanks James, and Woody for your help! No need to bust lunches on Saturday! Enjoy!
Randall will be handling dubs on sat so ITS ON! James and my stinky self will be at Brutal Hill getting our butts kicked.
Stay up you smelly ass hosers! GET THAT ACE!
That's great, I heard Randall can handle. He can hold the candle in his mandibles....... Wearing sandals.!
SFDGC towels for first place next week. perhaps a shirt? we will see!
how about Saucing Flyers boxers? Used boxers. From a Fresno goodwill store.
All of this is true except for the candle in my mouth!
Yeah I made that part up.
Wow. Mcbeastcan destroying putts today. Cam and Paul killed it with -8 on the final round sealed by a gnarly blind over a hill putt at 50ft by Paul. Congrats on the win boys and hope you like the shirts! Thanks James!
Ace pot is growing. Drain one already.
I'm stoked! I'll make sure everyone gets a shirt soon.
Bird-Man Paul was the victor today. He couldn't miss. Crazy three way tie for third.
for sure. McBeastcan operates under pressure. Nice drives as well Cam. Great day out there.
Looks like we might have some weather ladies. Have no fear my fellow compadres! Warm your bones with some Saucing Flyers shirts when you win!! James ( Hood Printing ) has some kick ass shirts for 1st, and 2nd place tomorrow!
Bring an umbrella
Might need some Saucing Flyers rain panchos today. I'm bringing my "A" game, I want one of those shirts!

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Back in the saddle of trying to find work. Too much makes me sick anymore.
Sick of looking at want ads for collection agencies and banks.
sick of wanting and not getting.
sick of feeling like to have I must whore out myself.
sick of tired useless useless.
my corner of the mess is getting more smaller every day.
sick of feeling so helpless to help all the people who are drowning in all this shit that's labeled economic.
tired, it always goes before sick in this place, tired of most of everything.
no anything anymore. Did I mention that I have too much to do and so everything gets less of what I find I'm so lacking in?
there are no shortages of bag people anymore.
this has become the signs of my sickness. No pills to make it go away. This is far to big an infection to just wash it out with peroxide, it's got too many people in the wound now to wash it out with anything.
every time I think I've risen above I find reasons presenting themselves for me to roll around in the muck of hating so much.
there I said it...this sickness has led to a war against being consumed with hate.
hate has its reasons that go beyond prejudice or irrational tidbits of consumer jerking off.
it some times likes to remind me of all the wrongs that I've been run over and what's worse is when I've been the driver of the tank who ran over me.
...i know I leave little piles of my messed up head all over the place.
...its like shooting yourself but you don't die, your not even wounded mortally so it looks like a self debasing orgy of twisted self glorification...but what if that wasn't the truth?
what if it's about not wanting to expose the people you know?
what if it's about not wanting at all....
what if it's about being alone and no matter what you do there isn't anyone there...
so many people live in this exact same spot.
can't help that, there are so many humans on the planet now and the majority of us are so damn depressed because our lives are so far from where we wish they were.
enter the "i have the answer" people.
for dollars plus 49 cents i can fix you with my new and improved mental injection of think this way stuff that looks exactly like the other stamped out copies of the same thing...shit, crap, dead meatie burger that is filled with chemicals to make a person fat and stupid...
not pointing fingers, don't have to....the streets are smeared with it . over and over and over.
this is the other half of me. not the part that keeps chasing hope and keeps believing that it's possible that humanity is waking up and having a very large cup of "what have we been doing all this time?"
the two halves of my brain have been at war for a long time. the want and belief that if you love something and just do it with out concern that anyone will ever see it or care about it and so that brings people to watch what your doing because your dancing to your own drummer and finally you get to make a living from doing what you love and you can stop wasting your life trying to do a dance in shoes that don't fit to keep a roof over your head.
there is a freedom about homelessness that no one ever talks about. yes you gotta watch out for the cops.
yes you don't know when your going to eat next.
and yes there is always the possiblity that you will die and no one will find you till spring thaw.
but you don't have to try not to puke while doing the i pretend to care about this crap that doesn't matter at all.
and if you can pull yourself away from dumpster diving through other peoples completely useful garbage, there is always outside any given city where the same things can happen inside a city.
death is always a possible even when all the little quackers of life are in perfect rows and if it happens there, there is still always a possibility that no one will notice until the spring thaw.
hunger is the same as in a city or in a few rooms that you pay rent on.
the same things that happen when your homeless can happen even if you have an income of some kind.
so I guess this is a confession of where things are at right now....i'm fighting this sickness because i keep waking up in the morning.

Update 44 to EverQuest 2 have been under development for awhile already. The folks of EQ2 are now presenting us with a visual preview of the upcoming update.
Dire hatred is once again seeping into the world of Norrath! With that new suffusion of ill intent, some of the residents in the major cities (Freeport, Qeynos, Kelethin, Neriak, Gorowyn and Haven) are lashing out amongst one another, with fights and brawls breaking out on a regular basis! The local guards and militia of those cities are strained thin trying to keep some semblance of peace.
You can choose to help cleanse the hearts of those that are affected to then bring that much needed peace to the lands by assisting Priests of Love (located in the "good" cities) or you can choose to further deepen the hate and thereby widen the doors of that shard, by assisting the Disciples of Hate (located in the "evil" and "neutral" cities).
The Shard of Hate itself has opened and is the reason for the recent influx of fighting! Do you have what it takes to step into that fiendish world, to help beat back the tide of maleficient hate or to claim your own hoard of treasure and fame?

Venting if there is no soffit.....
Hey can anybody tell me if there is a point to putting the styrofoam rafter vents in if there is no soffit (no air movement) in the roof bays.
I am refinishing the second floor MBR/Bath of my cape, it is 2x6 24" oc and I would like to insulate it as best as possible because I have a black roof, which is great for heat gain in winter but terrible for keeping it cool up there in summer. There is a ridge vent at the peak and some venting in the front, but there is no soffit at all in the rear.
Once I put those rafter vents in I am only left with 4" of depth for insulation so I wanted to see if it is pointless to install them with no air flow on the back roof of the house.
Where are you located?
I am in central NJ, the ridge vent was installed when the roof was done about 4 years ago because there is the ability to install venting in the front of the house if I took off the trim coil and vinyl soffit and drilled some holes in the old plywood soffit underneath. There is no soffit at all on the rear of the house and my only option would be pulling off the lower courses of shingles to install a smart vent, which I am not even considering.
I actually just got a quote on going with open cell spray foam insulation on the entire upstairs creating a completely sealed attic (well only the top 3 or so feet is actual attic, the rest is, or will be the wall of my bedroom) they said they just cover the inside of the ridge vent with plastic so the foam doesn't expand out the venting while curing.
The open cell foam may be the way I go, the house has a black roof in full sun all day and I think I will regret putting fiberglass and useless venting in there. I'm an electrician by trade and I've been in some attics with the foam, it amazed me how the attic was nearly the same temp as the living space below.
Here is a photo of the house:
So I've read up on the open cell foam over the past few nights and have come across some success stories from folks using the open cell foam as insulation for unvented finished attic spaces but I still am up in the air about the fact that my house has a ridge vent and I am not sure if this ridge vent will cause any issues with the foam insulation once I close everything off.
Once everything is finished off and rocked the leftover actual attic space is very small, basically just above the windows in the pic above there are 2x6 collar ties, only a scuddle less than 3' high remains with the ridge vent at the peak the whole length, the underside of the roof deck will be filled with open cell 5.5 deep all the way to the ridge vent.
Any opinions on this installation anyone?

Outbursts of religious zealotry are par for the course in my line of work. Having studied and worshiped with Pentecostals for nearly 20 years, most of these outbursts are not of an overtly political nature—unless you count the "prophetic" word someone once yelled out to watch more Christian T.V.—which I immediately categorized in my own mind as not only aesthetically questionable, but certainly emanating from a political agenda. So a couple of religious outbursts have caught my attention of late— … [Read more...]

Alta Vista Estate Torrontes 2011
Torrontes from Argentina
Winemaker's Notes
With delicate floral aromas, this wine has fresh, lively flavors that are clean, energizing and easy to drink.
This wine pairs wonderfully with grilled fish, fresh shellfish and focaccia topped with tapenade.
Critical Acclaim
Wine & Spirits - "A definitive torrontes from Salta, this is perfumed in the extreme. The flavors are broad and generous, gracious and seductive, with a depth that only old vines (these nearly 50 years old) can deliver."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2011 Alta Vista Premium Torrontes was harvested via three passes through the vineyard in Cafayate and such exacting standards show in this great wine. It has a boisterous, quasi-Gewurztraminer bouquet of lemon zest, barley sugar and apricot that leaps out of the glass. The palate is well-balanced with peach and elderflower on the entry, and expresses the varietal with some style. This is an effervescent, somehow life-affirming white wine."
Alta Vista Winery
Founded in 1997 and owned by the d'Aulan family, former owners of the Piper-Heidsieck Champagne house, Alta Vista is guided by the philosophy of expressing the best terroirs of Argentina and highlighting the typical Argentine varieties: Malbec and Torrontes. The winemaking team's system of terroir management led Alta Vista to produce the very first single-vineyard Malbecs in Argentina. Alta Vista has gained the respect of other wine professionals both in Argentina and in other wine-producing countries on the basis of the quality of its wines, which have been internationally classified as being among Argentina's finest.

About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

The July 11 Second Amendment Freedom Rally in downtown Chicago was ignored by both of Chicago's major newspapers (Tribune search on "gun rally," not in quotes, is here [HT Say Uncle]; Sun-Times search on "gun" is here).
Pictures, audio, and video from rally supporters can be found here.
Focusing on the Tribune: Its editorial board last month advocated repealing the Second Amendment in the wake of the Supreme Court's Heller ruling, holding that the amendment confers an individual right. Perhaps not coincidentally, it has frequently covered anti-gun events with a similar number, or even fewer, participants, than were at Thursday's event.
At least one Chicago TV station did cover the Second Amendment Freedom Rally. Here is part of the report filed by Leah Hope at ABC affiliate WLS (video is also at the link; bold is mine):
Proponents of gun rights gathered in the Loop Friday to push legislation legalizing concealed weapons in Illinois. Among the speakers at the rally was a Texas state representative whose parents were among 23 people gunned down at Luby's cafeteria in 1991.
Recent rallies at the Thompson Center have been demands for gun control laws following fatal shootings of Chicago children. Thursday, the plaza was full again, but the message was from those demanding the right to bear arms.
In a show of support for responsible gun ownership, about 200 chose the plaza of the Thompson Center for what they called a Second Amendment freedom rally. The rally comes after a recent decision by the Supreme Court Allowing handguns in Washington D.C.
..... Several Chicagoans are challenging Chicago's ban on handguns. They hope the Supreme Court decision opens the doors to more gun owner rights here.
"If we win this case, we win for every single person here," said Colleen Lawson, lawsuit plaintiff.
This report from a McLean County, Illinois radio station also says that "hundreds" attended. Say Uncle's first commenter claims that the number was "closer to 500."
Examples of the Tribune giving coverage to smaller previous anti-gun gatherings include at least these:
- June 18, 2008 -- "Pfleger speaks at Loop anti-violence rally." The paper reported that Father Michael Pfleger, now infamous from his "sermons" at Barack Obama's former church, the Trinity United Church of Christ, "spoke at an anti-violence demonstration Thursday," and further, that "more than 200 people attended."
- Lest one think that Fr. Pfleger's recent notoriety is what drove the Tribune's coverage, here are three examples from 2007, well before the priest received national exposure (obtained from the Proquest Library database for fair use and discussion purposes):
The first item reports that "About 200 activists, who marched in front of D.S. Arms, called for the northwest suburban community to vote the assault-weapon manufacturer out of town (Barrington, IL)."
The second reported that "Surrounded by ministers, anti-gun activists and two mothers who recently lost a child to gun violence, Reverends Jesse Jackson and Michael Pfleger said Monday they will keep the pressure on a Riverdale gun shop, even as they head to trial on trespassing charges." The size of the crowd was not noted.
The third said that "Three school buses filled with anti-gun activists joined forces with Jackson and Pfleger, while nearly 30 pro-gun activists packed into the gun store."
The Tribune exemplifies an Old Media elite that consistently fails to give equal coverage to Second Amendment supporters. Further, in this particular case, it's fair to ask whether the paper is allowing its editorial position to affect how it covers this area of the news.

These people brought my babies somewhere a few weeks ago, and came back with all, but one of them! i don't know where she went! Then the next day, the brought me to the evil vet place and left me there for a few days, and they did this thing they call spay?!?! When i came home a few days later, i found out that two more of my babies were gone. The lady says that they've found very good homes, and that they'll get a lot more attention and love now. So I guess it's okay. But I still miss them. And yesterday, one more left me! So now it's just me and Xena. And the lady says one day we'll find our very own homes, and won't have to be picked on by the residient cats here. It's all too much to take, but I'm just happy that my kids found homes, and none of us have to fend for ourselves anymore!
So, you already know about the "start" of my life. Well, it's been about three weeks since we moved inside. It's pretty nice in here. I don't have to worry about my babies so much, anymore, and we get all the food we can eat!
(Natrually) we had a little problem with worms, but we were also given medicine and that's all cleared up now. So we pretty much feel great! I've even started to put on a little much needed weight.
And the greatest news of all? The nice lady that took us in, says she found a group that will pay for all of us to get all our shots (we just did that yesterday, and it was not fun! but she says it's good for us), and for us to get spayed and neutered! The best part of all, we get to stay in her home (not a shelter) until we can find the perfect "forever home." All in all, I'd say we're all pretty lucky.

With a autocomplete script you can make it easier for your users to provide valid input for a from, by providing suggestions as soon as the users starts to type in the first data.
In this post we'll implement a autocomplete script, that uses jquery, ajax, PHP and MySQL for a smooth and easy to configure autocomplete solution.
Jquery autocomplete
The autocomplete guide in this post, is based on the autocomplete script by Drew Wilson and the refinement by Devbridge.com. There are many great autocomplete solutions, but the script from Drew Wilson has a few advantages, that makes it my favorite script:
- Autocomplete data based on a fixed list or ajax requests
- Great cross browser compatibility
- Possibility to add multiple values per input field by adding commas as value delimiter
- Tons of customization features…
See a example of the script here
Implementing the autocomplete script
First, you should ensure that jquery, the javascript file and the CSS files for the auto_suggest functionality is included within your <head></head> tags on the top of your code:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="jquery.autocomplete.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
To keep things simple, we're just linking to the jquery file hosted by Google.
You can find the files you need to download and include for the auto suggest functionality here.
Next thing is to build the form that includes the autocomplete input field.
<form action="default.aspx" > <input type="text" name="q" id="query" /> <input type="button" value="OK" /> </form>
The last thing you need to do is insert the following piece of javascript just before the </body> part of your html code:
Please notice that the variable "serviceurl" contains a url to the script that feeds the autocomplete input field with suggestions. Next thing is to build this script.
Creating json data for the auto suggest field
In this example we'll build a simple php script that provides the json data required for the input field.
The ajax part of the autocompletescript requests the file with a GET request with the following querystring: "?query=<letters from autosuggest input field>"
It's expected that the script returns a json object with the following format:
{ query:'ph', suggestions:['PHP','Photos','Photo'], }
In this example we'll build a simple php script that can extract data from a MySQL database and insert them in the required json format.
The example extracts tags from a wordpress database, but you can modify the script to extract whatever data you have in a mysql database.
<? // insert the connection settings to your mysql database here!! $counter='0'; echo "{"; echo "query:'$query',"; echo "suggestions:["; $res = mysql_query("select name from wp2wp_terms where name like '$query%' ORDER BY name desc"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($res)) { $counter++; if ($counter > 1) { echo ","; } $name=$row["name"]; echo "'$name'"; } echo "],}"; ?>
Save this file as: "auto_suggest_tags.php", and that's it you now have a autocomplete functionality, that uses ajax to dynamically extract suggestions from a MySQL database.
See a example of the script here

Botox for Frown Lines Between Brows

CANADA FX DEBT-C$ pulls back slightly after string of gains
* Canadian dollar at C$1.0744 or 93.08 U.S. cents * Bond prices higher across the maturity curve (Adds details on market activity, quotes, updates prices) By Leah Schnurr TORONTO, June 24 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened modestly against the greenback on Tuesday, retreating from a 5-1/2 month high as a lack of domestic economic data this week left investors without reason push it higher. It was only the second session in the last six days in which the loonie has declined after it rallied last week after data showed a surprisingly strong rise in Canadian inflation and robust retail sales. The increase in May's annual inflation rate could put pressure on the Bank of Canada to stop fretting about the low inflation environment in Canada and alter the neutral policy stance it has held since last October. But a quick shift by the bank is not expected. Analysts say any further significant gains by the Canadian dollar could be difficult without a change in the central bank's tone. "Inflation pushing above 2 percent does make it hard for the Bank of Canada to be in a truly neutral stance, (which means) rate cuts as equal as rate hikes," said Don Mikolich, executive director of foreign exchange sales at CIBC World Markets in Toronto. While the market sees the possibility of a rate cut as increasingly unlikely, the central bank will still be cautious not to sound too aggressive, Mikolich said. "I don't think the bank is keen - especially now with the Canadian dollar strengthening - to switch to a more hawkish stance, which would see the Canadian dollar strengthen and defeat the gains on the export sector that they're hoping to see continue," he said. The Canadian dollar ended the North American session at C$1.0744 to the greenback, or 93.08 U.S. cents, weaker than Monday's close of C$1.0726, or 93.23 U.S. cents. The currency hit a high of C$1.0716 overnight, its highest level since the start of the year. The C$1.0710 level is likely to act as a floor for the U.S. dollar-Canadian dollar pairing, unless there is a change in the Bank of Canada's message or June's job figures come in surprisingly hot, said Ken Wills, currency strategist and broker at CanadianForex in Toronto. "It looks like we've established a new range (from) C$1.0710 up to C$1.0850, I would anticipate between now and July 16 when the Bank of Canada comes out," he said in reference to the central bank's next policy statement. Canadian government bond prices were higher across the maturity curve, with the two-year up 4-1/2 Canadian cents to yield 1.121 percent and the benchmark 10-year up 43-1/2 Canadian cents to yield 2.287 percent.
