NBA PLAYOFFS: Spurs finish sweep of Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The San Antonio Spurs are back in the NBA Finals for the first time since they won their last championship back in 2007.
Tony Parker scored 37 points in his best game this postseason, and the San Antonio Spurs finished off a sweep of the Memphis Grizzlies with a 93-86 win on Monday night in the Western Conference final.
The Spurs now have won six straight in these playoffs, handing two straight losses to a team that had been undefeated on their own court in their best postseason in franchise history. Memphis finished off its best season ever swept by the very same franchise that needed four games to knock them out of their first playoff appearance back in 2004.
Parker had his best game this postseason as he hit 15 of 21 and all six at the free throw line earning the Spurs and Tim Duncan plenty of rest before Game 1 of the Finals on June 6.
"He's been amazing," Duncan said of Parker. "Every year he gets better and better and better. He's been carrying us. You can see tonight he carried us the entire game."
Duncan hugged Manu Ginobili before heading off the court, celebrating the chance at a title that slipped away a year ago when the Spurs blew a 2-0 lead to Oklahoma City losing four straight. The 37-year-old Duncan finished with 15 points and eight rebounds. Kawhi Leonard added 11.
"We want to get back there," Duncan said of making the finals. "We've had some really close years where we fell right on the verge of getting back. It feels like forever since we've been there."
Memphis coach Lionel Hollins had talked about how his Grizzlies needed to dig deep for something they didn't know they had to take the first step back into this series. But they couldn't outshoot the Spurs and got beaten once again at their own inside game.
The Spurs shot 51.3 percent (39 of 76) from the floor and outscored Memphis 52-32 in the paint, even though the Grizzlies had a 41-34 edge on the boards. Memphis led only briefly and the last at 6-4 as the Spurs took control early.
Memphis stayed close only by getting to the free throw line, making more shots there (17 of 24) than San Antonio took (12 of 13). The Grizzlies also got a career-high 22 points from reserve Quincy Pondexter, 18 of those in the second half. Pondexter was the only player from Memphis to shoot over .500. Zach Randolph finished with 13, continuing his struggles at the line where he was 5 of 8, and Marc Gasol had 14.
NOTES: Parker's previous best this postseason came in Game 3 when he had 32 points against Golden State in the semifinals. ... Teams are now 108-0 when leading a series 3-0.
... The Grizzlies had owner Robert Pera in the stands for only the second home game this season. ... The Spurs missed their first eight 3-pointers before Danny Green finally hit in the third quarter.

Scientist: Sky confirms "shining moon" behind Frankenstein
By Jim Forsyth
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A Texas astronomer has used science to confirm one of the most famous tales in western literature, the "bright and shining moon" over Lake Geneva that inspired an 18-year-old Mary Shelley to write "Frankenstein; or the Modern Prometheus."
Shelley has long been doubted for her version of events that led to the writing of one of the most beloved Gothic tales in the English language: That she wrote it on a challenge one night in June 1816 during a "waking dream" as the moon shone through her window.
But Donald Olson, an astronomy professor at Texas State University in San Marcos, told Reuters on Monday that the night sky would argue that she was telling the truth.
"Some scholars are very skeptical, they even call her a liar," Olson said. "But we see no reason, either in the science or in the primary sources, to doubt Mary Shelley's account."
Olson has made a hobby out of using the sky to solve the mysteries of many of the world's most famous works of art and historical accounts.
His study of tides in the English Channel forced historians to change the accepted date of Julius Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55 BC, and he used astronomical tables to pinpoint where and when Vincent Van Gogh painted the famous painting alternately known as "Moonrise" and "Sunrise over Saint-Remy."
Shelley first wrote of how she came to write Frankenstein in the preface of the book's 1831 edition, and critics immediately began questioning her story as simply a ruse to sell more books.
The story goes like this: Shelley was staying with her future husband, Percy Shelley, at the Villa Diodati in Switzerland in June of 1816. Also present were Lord Byron and friends Claire Clairmont and John Polidori. Byron challenged all of them to try their hand at writing a ghost story. Continued...

I just love Fridays because they are Case File Reveal days over at CSI. Let's get right to the reveal, shall we?
Here's another SUPER FAB challenge! Love everything about this one - the colors, the evidence, and the testimony. (how fun is this one??)
Here are the elements I used for this Case File.
1. Use paint or other medium on the background. I used distress ink with water and stamped the ledger design on the background.
2. Use butterfly accents.
3. Use paper with vintage images - okay, so I stretched this one a bit. I used a vintage photo instead.
4. Use tearing.
1. Document a story from your childhood. Journaling reads:
"I can remember being a tomboy most of my childhood. I was more interested in cars, play guns, and getting dirty, than dolls, dress-up, & playing mommy. Some things you never outgrow'"
Layouts like this are some of my faves...a little of this, and a little of that. :)
Check out what the DT created this week. You will love it.
Have a fantastic weekend! and thank you for stopping by.

If I have a DB of lets say 100K+ documents, with each document having 20 fields, would it be more efficient to have a view that has indexed each document and simply run more complex queries over them or would it be better to have a number of smaller views, each covering only a few fields, and running much simpler queries on each of these views for whatever data might be needed at that moment. As with most things the answer is probably "it depends." If there is no easy answer could anyone tell me what the pros and cons are to each of these approaches?

Help Me Im Broke And My Starter Took A Dump
The main reason i'm here is i was looking for an answer to my delemma and stumbled on this site. Pretty impressive I must say and most of you on here seem like you you know your *****. My question is, my starter isn't disengaging after the car is already running. Sometimes it only does it a few seconds and goes away, other times i actually have to turn the car off because it will not stop. It's the same sound as if you were to try and start a car while it's running. Im am about to give up on this car because I need a good daily driver and so far in the past month, i've already replaced the radiator, fixed the window, done some wiring repair, tuned it up, and had a bolt fall out of my front passenger side caliper on the freeway (it has 69 camaro disc's up front). Any help would be greatly appreciated, because im only 21 years of age and am on a very very limited budget. Thanks in advance. HenryHighrise mentioned something about my bandix being bad. Im pulling the starter out today and checking out the selanoid to see why its not disengaging. HELP ME!!

Its just about got to be either a bad Bendix or the solenoid sticking. Let us know what you find. It could be a bad ignition switch also but I suspect its probably your solenoid.
I pulled it out this morning and the actual gear that engages the flywheel was sliding in and out. From what i remember, it should be spring loaded. correct me if im wrong. So i took it down to autozone and got it tested, and the thing is no good. So i guess im gonna have to spend what little money i have on buying a new one. 57 bucks for a rebuilt one with a lifetime warranty. I also checked the ignition switch last night and found it to be working properly, i hope. I know i should probably start a new thread for this question, but i have anti freeze sitting on top of the intake manifold up towards the alternator. So far ive checked my hoses, replaced them, tightened down the manifold bolts, and checked the inlet neck to see if maybe it was corroding, but everything seems alright. but no matter what, there is always antifreeze sitting up there, just a little puddle. Do you think its the intake manifold gasget on that side?
OK, Thats what I originally thought. That drive gear and the spring that works it is called a Bendix. I don't think your manifold gaskets are leaking...If so how could they leak and get anti-freeze up on top of the manifold? unless it was spraying against something and deglecting back on it. Maybe your upper hose is old and hard and just not sealing against the thermostat housing neck even with the clamp tight. Do you ever have to add coolant? Does it ever run hot? If not you just got a little seep.
the neck may not be sealing right. i replaced the gasget and put a new bead of sealant on there. ive checked it while running and everything seems alright. i drive this thing on the freeway just about everytime i drive it. 15 minutes in each direction. i have stock gearing so it doesnt scream to bad on the freeway. i ran it without a thermostat for a few days and it ran extrememly cool, even on the freeway, rarely seeing 180 degrees on my gauge. now i have a 180 thermostat and it consistantly runs between 205 and 230. i had the radiator completely flushed and checked for leaks, and it was just extremely dirty. could having my remote tranny cooler mounted on the front of the radiator have anything to do with the higher tempature? once again thanks for the help.

If you have a stock Chevy aluminum thermostat housing...it's leaking. You could try putting studs in the intake instead of the bolts, or get a cast iron housing...or both.
Doc here,
Do you have a Coolant Recovery Kit installed and filled?
Burp the system to purge it of air..If it won't expel air at 215 to 230 get a new cap
If you have an air bubble it will settle in the water pump and cavitate the flow of water to the block causing excess heat and temp excursions..
If you are finding coolant on the manifold, you have a leak, this means after it leaks it sucks air back in...If that is a water neck, remove it clean BOTH sides with a wire-brush mounted in a drill until spotless..Next, add a bead dead center to the manifold , then one to the housing, install the gasket and reassemble, use RTV orange and apply a bead to the bolts too..
Start and run your engine with an eye on the temp gauge the other on your recovery kit..When it gets hot (warm) you should see coolant nd air in the recovery tank..Be sure to keep the tank full, because it will draw air back into the system if you don't.
On the other, you need a bendix most likely...Get the new one..for $57 bucks..
i checked the inlet neck and one of the mounting bolt holes was stripped. i guess i should also look into buying a new manifold now? its a stock gm manifold anyway, i'll probably get the performer manifold eventually. I do have an overflow tank but it has a gaping hole in the top of it. I have purged the system and its still running at the same tempature. I inspected the inlet neck again and it seemd to have a little bit of corrosion on the inside that i guess i overlooked the first time. I don't have a helicoil kit to fix the stripped bolt hole, so what should i do about that? This car is turning out to be a nightmare. runs awesome, but its nickle and diming me to death.
If there is enough metal around the bolt hole and I believe there is, just drill and tap to the next size, then drill out the hole in you housing to take the larger bolt.
put the new starter in today and now my battery is dead after sitting for a few days. it clicks but it just dont have the juice to crank. im an idiot and dont have jumper cables anymore so once again it sits in the driveway until later today when a 20 pack and some cables are provided by my buddy from upland. Also had an awesome moment when i bashed my head on the corner of my hood and split it open thanks to some tired hood springs. I appreciate all of your help fellas. As soon as its runnin again i will definately post it. 3 days without my car is getting to be a little old.
the car runs awesome once again, starter hooked up and working great. The car starts up on the first crank now, didnt do that before. Thanks everyone for your help.
Glad ya got it fixed up and going.

February 29, 2000....
Senator John McCain, in a provocative and politically risky speech, sharply criticized leaders of the religious right on Monday as
"agents of intolerance" allied to his rival, Governor George W. Bush, and denounced what he said were the tactics of
"division and slander."
Specifically, Mr. McCain singled out the evangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as "corrupting influences on religion and politics" and said parts of the religious right were divisive and even un-American. Link
Specifically, Mr. McCain singled out the evangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as "corrupting influences on religion and politics" and said parts of the religious right were divisive and even un-American. Link
Those were resolute words spoken oh-so-resolutely by "straight talker" John McCain back during the GOP's 2000 primary season. Whatever John McCain said,......Americans were told repeatedly......it was "straight talk". No waffling, no flips or flops. By god, if McCain stated something or took a position or whatever......there would be no changing it. Rock solid, he was.
When asked in 2000 about his "agents of intolerance" speech and whether he would stand by his words, McCain, because, like I said, he never wavers.....virtually took an oath, stating without qualifiers that, indeed, Falwell, Robertson and their ilk were "agents of intolerance".
Back in 2000, when McCain was asked whether he stood by his description of Falwell, he said,
"I must not and will not retract anything that I said in that speech at Virginia Beach. It was carefully crafted, it was carefully thought out." (Hardball, 3/1/00)
The "straight talker", himself, not only spoke those "agents of intolerance" words towards Falwell and Robertson....but by god, McCain wasn't going to retract those words either. That's how resolute the "straight talker" was in 2000. Those words in his speech were no accident, McCain assured viewers and listeners. Instead, when McCain spoke those words in criticism of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and, by implication, any other like-minded, intolerance preaching, Christian leader.....those words had been very "carefully crafted"......"carefully thought out".
No question then....right?.....John McCain, the "straight talker", absolutely considered the hate filled, divisive and intolerant words and actions of the likes of Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, as "tactics of division and slander" from "agents of intolerance".
Resolute and rock solidlyly unwavering. That's the talker of straight talk for ya'.....
Or not.....
April 2nd, 2006....
RUSSERT: Do you believe that Jerry Falwell is still an agent of intolerance?
MCCAIN: No, I don't.
There you have it. That's what the ....umm.....straight and resolute words of John McCain mean to him. The words that he speaks so seriously. The words that had been so "carefully craft(ed)" and "carefully thought out". The words McCain stood behind so much that he was actually insulted by any suggestion they would need to be retracted. How dare anyone even think the straight talker would ever retract any of his "straight" words? Can't they read the big letters on the side of McCain's bus?
There's one thing I've learned over time, though. I know we can depend on our patriotic and truth telling media members to point out these...what appear to be....inconsistencies. The media is "in the know", they have sources, and they are very, very serious. They will certainly tell American voters about McCain's less-than-straight, less-than-resolute, and maybe just a teensy bit....retracted....words......won't they? Surely, after a less than stellar "straight talking" example like this, the full-of-wisdom media will drop the "straight talk" nicknane for John McCain. I mean, right?
December 30, 2007...."McCain is here once again, crisscrossing the Granite State in his Straight Talk Express tour bus, displaying the same integrity, vision and, yes,
straight talk ... At a time when some candidates present themselves to voters as something they haven't always been, we find the Arizona senator to be
the genuine article.
You might not always agree with his answers, but you won't leave a conversation wondering where he stands." -- Nashua Telegraph

A scene from El Hotel eléctrico
|Directed by
|Segundo de Chomón
|Segundo de Chomón, Julienne Mathieu
|Distributed by
|Pathé Frères
Release date
Running time
|8 minutes
El hotel eléctrico (Spanish: The Electric Hotel) is a 1908 silent Spanish comedy-fantasy film directed by Segundo de Chomón, It was thought to be lost but was later recovered.[1]
The film displays one of the earliest uses of stop motion animation in history, though it is not de Chomón's first try at this technique. His 1906 film, Le théâtre de Bob, uses animated puppets. However, El Hotel eléctrico is also an early use of pixilation.
As baggage is checked in, that baggage moves by itself to a room where it opens itself, revealing lots of brushes that now move out. A man and a woman sit down. Then the man's boot unbuckles by itself. With the boot off, a brush moves itself up and down on the front end. The woman's coat comes off by itself, followed by the woman's hair receiving a thorough brushing - also by itself - and subsequently her hair ties itself into a bun. Following those actions is a scene of a man in front of a wall full of electrical switches. As he pulls one large switch down, the scene cuts to various chairs and other furniture moving in chaotic ways as the short ends.

Adapting in Amsterdam
Despite the fact that the theme of the conference was on adaptation, there were also discussions about mitigation – which was seen as part of any real solution to the climate change problem. Woerkom talked about climate change communication and argued that people don't act on their beliefs. Energy consumption associated with life styles is difficult to change, and social pressures and expectations are some of the obstacles. He suggested that people have to be supported in the implementation.

The Supreme Court has denied cert in a case where the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, in an en banc hearing, ruled 7-3 that a public school violated the Establishment Clause by holding graduation ceremonies in a church. But Justice Scalia, joined by Justice Thomas, wrote a rare dissent from the decision to hear the case (usually cert is denied without comment from the court).
Some there are—many, perhaps—who are offended by public displays of religion. Religion, they believe, is a personal matter; if it must be given external manifestation, that should not occur in public places where others may be offended. I can understand that attitude: It parallels my own toward the playing in public of rock music or Stravinsky. And I too am especially annoyed when the intrusion upon my inner peace occurs while I am part of a captive audience, as on a municipal bus or in the waiting room of a public agency.
My own aversion cannot be imposed by law because of the First Amendment. Certain of this Court's cases, however, have allowed the aversion to religious displays to be enforced directly through the First Amendment, at least in public facilities and with respect to public ceremonies—this despite the fact that the First Amendment explicitly favors religion and is, so to speak, agnostic about music.
This is the typical sophistry we have become accustomed to from Scalia. The First Amendment certainly favors the free exercise of religion, but that is a right of individuals and it has absolutely nothing to do with what a government agency, like a public school, can and can't do. That is governed by the Establishment Clause. Scalia knows this, of course, just as he knows that his comparison to music is absurd because the constitution says nothing about a separation between music and state.
It is important to note that the 7th Circuit ruling did not rule that it's always unconstitutional to hold a public school graduation ceremony in a church. The ruling was fact-specific.

Ryan Giggs has ended his glittering playing career following his appointment as assistant to new Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.
The 40-year-old announced his retirement soon after it was confirmed he would serve as number two to Van Gaal at Old Trafford.
Giggs is the most decorated player in English football history having won 34 trophies in a career which began at the age of 17 in 1991.
His honours included 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League successes while he made a record 963 appearances for United, scoring 168 goals.
Giggs, who also earned 64 caps for Wales, announced his decision in an open letter to supporters on United's website.
He said: "My dream was always to play for Manchester United, and although it saddens me to know I won't be pulling on a United jersey again as a player, I have been lucky enough to have fulfilled that dream playing with some of the best players in the world, working under an incredible manager in Sir Alex Ferguson, and most of all, playing for the greatest fans in world football."
Giggs had long been expected to move into coaching after his retirement and he took the first steps in that direction by serving as a player-coach over the past year at United.
He then took over as interim manager after the sacking of David Moyes in April, overseeing the final four games of the 2013-14 season.
United were thought keen to retain his services in a coaching capacity and his future is believed to have been a key part of negotiations with Van Gaal.
Giggs said: "For me, today is a new chapter filled with many emotions - immense pride, sadness, but most of all, excitement towards the future.
"United fans I hope will share and echo my belief that the club, the management and owners, are doing everything they can to return this great club to where it belongs, and I hope to be there every step of the way.
"To the greatest fans in world football, thank you, I have loved every minute of playing for you and representing the biggest and best club in the world."
Giggs came through United's youth ranks and was a member of their famous 'Class of '92' group of FA Youth Cup winners.
He thrilled fans throughout his career, as a dynamic winger in his younger days and latterly as a central midfielder.
His status as one of the finest players of his era had long been secured.
United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "Ryan Giggs has been one of the greatest players ever to wear the red shirt of Manchester United.
"What he has achieved will never be equalled in the English game.
"In the way he played, he was the embodiment of a Manchester United player - fast, skilful, entertaining and determined to win by playing exciting football.
"His progress from the ranks of the famous 'Class of '92' to the most decorated player in this or any club's history is down to his hard work, ability and attitude.
"He is at the start of an exciting new chapter in his and the club's life but now is the right moment to reflect on the achievements of the finest British player of the last 25 years."

Michael Porter famously wrote that companies differentiate themselves by performing a unique set of activities from their competitors' or by performing the same activities differently.
Here are some numbers: 86% of companies say customer experience is a top strategic priority for 2011; 76% seek to differentiate based on customer experience; 46% have a companywide program for improving customer experience currently in place and another 30% are actively considering it; and 52% have a voice of the customer program in place with close to 30% more actively considering it.
With the majority of companies focused on improving customer experience, how can a company expect to differentiate on it? Because there remains a tremendous amount of lip service and intellectual dishonesty about what it takes. Let me give a few examples:
Posted by Moira Dorsey on March 14, 2011
Last weekend I used my AAdvantage miles on a plane ticket for my husband. I went to AA.com, it was easy to trade off options based on number of miles used and flight schedule. When I went to book, my name and AAdvantage number were pre-populated into the form. I changed the name and number to his but got an error: "The AAdvantage number for Passenger 1 does not match the name entered. Please verify and re-enter."*
Problem #1: A design problem stopped me from booking the ticket myself on the site.
Problem #2: An unhelpful error message didn't help me fix the first problem.
Without any other choice, I called for help. Before I could reach a person – or even a menu, I got this message:
"With the refreshed and redesigned AA.com it's easy to book, explore, and plan all of your travel needs in one place because we've organized things better, made it more intuitive, smarter, simpler, cleaner, all to help bring your next trip closer to reality. This is the first step of more exciting changes we have planned for AA.com. Whether you are looking or booking, a better travel experience awaits with the new, easy to navigate AA.com. Book a trip now and see for yourself. To expedite your call, please have your Advantage number ready."
Problem #3: I had to spend a full minute hearing about how American's new site could help me — the same site that had already failed to help me.
When I finally reached an agent and explained my problem, she said: "Well, you just had to think on it harder. You needed to leave the Advantage number blank."
Problem #4: The agent told me I'm stupid. Who likes that?
Armed with new instructions, I tried to book the ticket. But instead I got an error message saying the site had timed out.

A term used by paleontologists (see paleontology) to refer to the total number of fossils that have been discovered, as well as to the information derived from them. (See evolution of Earth.)
The first group consists of the facts of palæontology, or the fossil record of past animal life.
The fossil record of the kangaroo rats is so scanty that one can but speculate on the evolutionary sequence.
This is especially necessary in the early part of our ancestral tree, because the fossil record quite fails us.
Any fossil record of Kinosternon is a welcome find, and these two specimens give new data both as to age and distribution.
The fossil record is too incomplete to reveal the time when the two tribes diverged.

———- Forwarded message ———- From: Jon Sarkin <email@example.com> Date: Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 8:38 PM Subject: To: michael digregorio <email@example.com> It really didn't add up. No, it came to nothing, a bad deal gone down. I was thick in the gravelly gruel of my circumstance. Man, I was down-in-the-mouth about my happenstance. After perusing my options and nursing my broken-toothed luck, I still felt snaggled and fractured. I had this nimbulus, cold-cocked, landlocked feeling. I had no semblance of firmity. I felt small-changed into this bleak and bleary existence of malapropisms and poorly-seeded puns. Friend, I must recount my luck-lost and haggard, muffled exhaustion, the stupid idiotic after-shards of nonsensical soliquies echoing in my mid-brain – my clotted agonies, my unresurrected, unredeemable, passionless, guttural, speechless, ineffectual prayers. Would they ever be answered? I guess Faulkner thought they would not. "I," he once said, "give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire. I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to a man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools." I thought about this and then I didn't any more. Faulkner wasn't anybody but just some drunk who got published. It seems to get published you must be a drunk. I know there are exceptions to this theory. It's not even a theory, no, not really, just some crack-head idea. But aren't all ideas like this? My friend Bruce Newton is really a crack-head, so all his ideas are crack-head ideas. Admittedly, Bruce isn't a great example of my thesis. He lives in a shotgun apartment on Main Street, above Virgilio's. His apartment reeks of cigarettes and bacon grease. There are burn marks all over his sofa. His cheeks are grooved, and his eyes have the burned-out look of burnt-out light bulbs. But Bruce is my friend. Yeah, I trust him as far as I can throw a toilet bowl, and he stole my television, but I make friends with dead-end losers like this. I'll bet Faulkner met some characters too. This is the devil's bargain in Edge City, friend. You pays your money and you takes your chances. You belly up to the bar and roll them laughing bones. You bet the farm and put your bottom dollar on a long-shot. And when it comes in last, bubba, you roll up your shirt sleeves, dust your trousers off, and get back on the horse, and ride into another town and start the damned scam all over again. — Jon Sarkin jonsarkin.com
Main Street Archive
Jim is in a state of flux, shifting, flitting, from stamen to pistil, to mortar and pestle. Everything in his life boils, boils, boils, til an essence is distilled, an essence that's essential, an importance that's unimportant and important at the same time, like a bird on the wing that's wingless, making it up as it flies, in a sort of Memphis half-step of undulation and toodeloo-voodoo, and while Jim waits like a mongrel vagrant, like somebody trapped in a Mel Brooks movie where they are sleepwalking and sleep-waking, hithering and dithering like an unambivalent doppelganger, the kind you might see in an out-of-business establishment, grown men rolling down Main Street in broad daylight, polyester imaginations and calico clocksprings, thinking about Jim's covered music sheets with almost unintelligible scribbling, taking his dessert with him and screaming, "Come everybody! Let's see what this sounds like!"
Jim sees an old newspaper being blown down Main Street. Kerouac compared this to fame, that fame is like old papers being blown down Main Street, and Jim chuckles at this. What, exactly did he mean? Jim runs after the paper. He reads about the 2010 Gloucester football team. The paper is yellow. Newsprint is like that; it yellows quite quickly. It's not designed for posterity.
Jim gets on the bus. He doesn't even know where he's going. He's going to Oklahoma. His brother-in-law lives in Normal, in the panhandle he thinks. Or is it Norman?, Jim wonders. The bus smells like ping-pong balls. A Hispanic woman wearing a brightly-printed dress sits next to him. The bus is full, and smells like ping-pong balls. Why did this occur to me?, wonders Jim, that it smells like ping-pong balls? As he ponders this, the bus crosses the Illinois-Missouri border. It goes through a town called Mexico. It passes by a bakery and the bus windows are open as it is late spring and Jim smells the baking bread and thinks that this beats the pants off ping-pong balls. This makes him recall the time he was beat up by a gang of bikers in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1973. They really beat the pants off him. After the beating, he was arrested for lying in the middle of Main Street in his underwear, lying in a pool of vomit and blood and urine. Not a particularly fond memory as far as memories go, but this is what Jim is thinking about.

AutoCAD 2010 – Putting things back to "normal"
Darin, I have to challenge your theory, type in wblock in that command name search box and see where it takes you. Command line may be ancient, but I guarantee you, it is a whole lot faster than the ribbon. I dont have a problem with the ribbon, I keep it tucked away auto hidden, anchored to the left side of my workspace. I use it for custom commands that I use infrequently and havent taken the time to memorize their command line input. Other than that, it just sits there.

I have to admit, I have never used Alt+W to switch between drawings, I've always used dwgmanager by caelink, and since going to 09 and 10, I'm using dwgmanager in combination with the quickview drawings.

Why AutoCAD for Mac is a bad idea
AutoCAD on Linux is the only thing holding me back from switching. But I would rather be stuck with Windows and its poor handling of system resources, than to have AutoCAD suffer because resources are being used to port it to other systems.

AutoCAD 2010 – Will you miss the Menu Browser?
The only reason I have used the menu browser is for my company custom routines and for the express tools. As AutoCAD 2010 is shipping with an express ribbon tab, and I have created a ribbon for our custom office tools, I no longer require the functionality of the menu browser. When the ribbon is anchored to the left, it does not take up any more screen space than the palettes I already have anchored to the left, and therefore is a compromise that I am satisfied with. Besides, when the ribbon is anchored, the big A becomes a small A: more screen space all around.

Why do you think Autodesk isn't listening?
I think the number one thing I feel they dont listen about is bug fixes/design flaws. In my own little world, I dont understand how we can have a bug/design flaw reported that keeps showing up unfixed release after release. It all goes back to the release cycle, if they had more time, they probably wouldnt have such issues with bugs and design flaws.

This is a tough one Steve, its difficult to come up with one good question.
With the current release cycle being so short, has anyone considered suspending a new release for a time, to spend an entire release cycle working on improving/restoring functionality of existing features and fixing bugs, why, or why not?

AutoCAD 2009 – Do you use the menu bar?
Paul, you're welcome.
» Posted By Chris Cowgill On 5 December 2008 @ 10:13 pm
In answer to your question Paul: By encouragement, I mean that I setup the default profile in AutoCAD for our office to have it shut off (which is AutoCAD's default anyway). They asked where the menus were and I pointed them to the menu browser, not one user asked how to get it back to the old way. I encourage everyone in my office to use the new features, Autodesk put them in for one reason or another. I also encourage users to set mbuttonpan to 1 so they can pan with their scroll wheel, why use the scroll wheel for osnaps when shift-right-click can do the same thing.
There are several ways to do things, I dont dictate that they have to do it, and I've always been open to new and better ways. Why waste the screen space when you can hide the pull downs and access them in another way. If you need to see what I use for my screen check out this link: http://forums.augi.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=55952&d=1220613916
I dont encourage or even discuss with any users in my office to even think about switching to this format, I use the keyboard, I dont need a fancy user interface to work, the less on the screen the better, and I understand that not everyone is willing/capable to do things the same way.
» Posted By Chris Cowgill On 4 December 2008 @ 9:49 pm
I have menubar=0 on my machine, and I try to encourage all the users in my office to do the same. To me, the extra screen space is invaluable. I have created a ribbon tab that contains all of my custom pull down menu functions, and have it set to be anchored to the left just below the small A (if you undock the ribbon, or shut it off, the big A becomes smaller). I use the menu browser most of the time for those obscure commands I dont remember from my custom arsenal. I remember the key-in for most of the AutoCAD commands I use.

How well cooked is the average major new AutoCAD feature these days?
I think it is a bad thing. More often than not, if a feature is introduced half-baked, Autodesk never fixes it. Spell check was working perfectly fine, you could access it via lisp, and it would recognized punctuation as part of the correct spelling of the word, what happened? Autodesk modified the spell check to this new fancy dialog, that no longer allows LISP support, or the recognition of punctuation as part of the correct spelling of a word. Mleaders are another feature that leaves much to be desired in regards to the functionality of the qleader. Mleaders added some long awaited functionality, but then it took away a lot as well.
What is one reason for pushing them out before they are done? Testing. Beta testing is nice, but it doesnt necessarily give a complete picture of a command's use. In my office when we introduce a new function for users, it has been tested, but I cant think of scenario during testing, so the first few weeks, there are sometimes a lot of bug fixes.
» Posted By Chris Cowgill On 1 December 2008 @ 10:10 pm
I would like to see some additional functionality added to visual lisp, or to lisp that allows some of the newer features to be easily modified, specifically mleaders. I also would like to be able to run spell check programmatically again and for spell check to recognize punctuation as part of a word like back in 05. In our office (TYP.) is correct TYP. is not. Fixing alot of the broken features would be very nice.

What is loaded at AutoCAD startup, and when?
Steve, do you know if there is any documentation that tells how to get any acaddoc.lsp file to load from a specific location. I just realized today, that if you open a drawing that has an acaddoc.lsp file in the same folder, AutoCAD will automatically load and run that version. That could create an issue if you open a drawing and am unaware that the file is located in the same directory. plus it also has a potential to create a headache when you have office wide customizations.

What's the best thing about AutoCAD 2009?
I like the ability to have extra screen real estate. the menu browser allows me to hide the menus that I rarely use, and the smaller undocked toolbars allow me to place my control pulldowns in locations I couldnt in previous releases.

Autodesk's 12-month release cycle – Is it harmful?
64 bit probably doest exist because of the issue with databases and the lack of a Jet driver from Microsoft for 64 bit to access those data bases. 32bit still will install on 64bit windows, and can take advantage of larger amounts of ram.

AutoCAD 2009 – Why do you hate the Ribbon?
David, If you are still using 08, I recommend skipping 09 and going to 10, you can import your old dashboard to the ribbon. I currently use no toolbars, and only the ribbon and other palettes, anchored to the left, auto hidden, and vertical. I dont have any wasted space.
» Posted By Chris Cowgill On 1 July 2009 @ 2:20 am
Steve is more into the performance checking side of things, but from my personal experience, AutoCAD 2010 seems significantly faster in startup, cui command initialization, and overall, less stickiness than 09. But I'm sure that Steve has some numbers to back that up.
» Posted By Chris Cowgill On 20 February 2009 @ 10:14 pm
It's not that I dislike it, I dont use the ribbon because I keyboard everything, I have no use for tool bars, and therefor see no need to waste the screen space of even a reduced ribbon. My favorite feature of 09, the menu browser, now I can hide the menus and get that extra space at the top of my screen.

AutoCAD 2009 – How do you use the Ribbon?
The thing with the ribbon is, I find no use for it, I dont use tool bars, so what is the point of having a ribbon, it is just a bunch of tool bars rolled into one thing that can hide to provide temporary screen space.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Do you know if this would count as income for Medicad/SSI. I know it would be a resouce until spent but would it be counted as part of annual income.
Can you provide a link I could use for discussions with Medicaid?
I understand this $2000 resource limit and the effect of the gift until funds were spent but there is also an income limit. Would the gift count against the income limit?
Do I assume a loan rather than a gift would avoid this income problem. Funds would be spent immediately to pay back taxes and debts for estate inherited from mother thus would not result in resources over the limit

who thinks casual sex is wrong: just curious on the views on a site like this.....
Jun 4, 08 at 11:36am
to elaborate slightly and diverge: I am on this site for reasons similar i guess to many of you.
I have come out of an endless relationship and don't want another one...thus what i am after is sex, sex and sex.
now the reason i am on the site is to make sure that i approach and be approached by females who at this moment in time are like minded. not hurt any one and possibly protect my image by reducing myself to what some people would call vulgar.:oops:
As opposed to the first option which is to approach females of my circle and wider circle or random ones in bars to such ends; is this internet dating.
I sometimes think this as cowardly and other times that i subconsciously think it's wrong sinse i am taking a more indirect and anonymous if i should choose so roote: ww clubhouse :P
what do you think?

as long as the 2 (or more) people involved are smart about what they are doing and try to be as safe as possible, i see nothing wrong with "casual" sex. i firmly believe that, if all involved are willing and consenting, it is a great form of release. i had a person that i was involved with for some time for casual sex only. there was no dating, going out to eat, or anything like that. just sex and some politeness. it was great. when we weren't interested anymore, we just went our seperate ways with absolutely no regrets. good luck on your endeavours and hope to hear feom you from time to time. bis:roll:

Today 'casual' sex is like playing russian roulett. We like to spend time getting to know couples we want to play with before there's gonna be any exchanging of bodily fluids. Now 'getting to know them' doesn't mean any emotional entanglements, but we definitely want to be friends first.

I've been trying to do this with my wife for sometime now (9 years to be exact). Much closer now than before, but nothing "exchanged"...yet. Same couple too. Perhaps that may change this summer if we are able to get them to go w/us to a nude campground. Personally, I feel as long as no emotional attachment, then go for it. With peoples busy lifestyles nowdays, how can couples get together for encounters? So why not release some anxiety with others who share the same free time as you?

Tenant Rights Under Illinois Law
If you rent a house or apartment, Illinois law provides you with certain legal protections. Being familiar with the law, as well as the specific terms of your individual lease, can help you avoid problems with your landlord.
When renting a house or apartment, most tenants ask for a written lease, an agreement with the landlord indicating, among other things, the length of the lease (usually one year), the amount of the rent, the terms of any rent increase, information related to the security deposit, and your obligations as a tenant. In certain circumstances, landlords must pay interest annually to tenants on security deposits.
Before moving in, tenants should take photos of the house or apartment in case there is a dispute about damages later on. It is also advisable to pay your monthly rent by check or money order (not cash) and to keep a copy of your lease agreement and receipts together in a safe place.
Tenants should expect the landlord to keep the house or apartment building up to local building code. In return, the tenant must keep the property clean, make structural changes only if permission is received, pay the rent on time, abide by the guidelines set forth in the lease, and give the landlord the required notice before moving out.
If a repair is needed, landlords have a limited amount of time to make them. If the landlord doesn't cooperate, you should send him or her a letter by certified mail. If the landlord fails to timely do repairs, you may have the right to do them yourself and deduct the amount from your next rent payment. Keep receipts and take before and after photos; these documents can be used as proof if you need to go to court.
Depending on the terms of a lease, if a landlord wants to enter a tenant's house or apartment for any reason other than an emergency, the tenant must be informed in advance and must have provided permission.
A tenant can be evicted for non-payment of rent, not complying with lease provisions, or if the building has turned condo after the tenant's lease expires. The process can only be done by a court order. If a landlord tries to evict you without approval from the court, you should contact the local police or sheriff's office.
A tenant who is planning to move should be paying rent in compliance with the lease or rental agreements, and proper notice should be given to the landlord according to the terms of the lease. Tenants have the legal right to remove all of their possessions, including any fixtures that have been installed such as a ceiling fan or light fixture - if they can do so without altering the property or making a structural change.
When tenants prepare to move out, they can help ensure getting their deposit returned if they accompany the landlord on a walk-through of the empty house or apartment to mutually agree on what, if any, damages there are. If there is a charge for repairs, the landlord must send an itemized list of damages and their cost, along with a check for the security deposit, minus those charges. Tenants have the right to have their security deposit, with the accumulated interest, if any, returned within 30 days after moving out.
Chicago residents have many protections under the Chicago Residential Landlord/Tenants Ordinance. Several of those rights are also found in state statutes related to larger apartment projects (12 or more units).
If a landlord has agreed to pay for such services as gas, electricity, water or garbage collection, and the landlord fails to make those payments, a tenant may be forced to choose to either terminate the service or pay the bill out of pocket. A tenant who pays for the services that are specified as the responsibility of the landlord may ask the landlord for reimbursement. Should the landlord refuse to pay, the tenant has the legal right to deduct the payments made for services from the rent. Only the actual amount paid for those services may be deducted, however.

text: "Colonial Prudence", 16" Colonial Girl Art Doll E-pattern - Colonial Series - Pattern Category - Skill Level - Beginner Colonial Prudence and her brother, Colonial Madis, just love living in New England during the colonial times and love telling everyone they are from Plymouth, Massachusetts. They are right proud to tell everyone that their grandmother and grandfather came over on the "Mayflower" and that all the members of their family belong to the "Mayflower Society" which is an exclusive club of colonists. Life during the 1st year their grandparents arrived was difficult at best and many, many of their grandparents friends did not survive. They were lucky, and their grandparents did. For that "Colonial Prudence" and her brother, "Colonial Madis" are forever grateful. The Fall is their favorite time of the year and during this season in New England their thoughts turn towards their grandparents, the 1st Thanksgiving in Plymouth, and what life must have been life for the first colonists. Neither "Colonial Prudence" or "Colonial Madis" have any delusions as to how difficult it was. They have been hearing about it their whole life from their parents. They can probably recite the story line by line. In fact, Colonial Madis does from time to time when he and Colonial Prudence are alone. Colonial Prudence is too well mannered and well behaved to ever push that envelope too far with her parents. She is every bit the respectful daughter. Colonial Madis, on the other hand, does test them and sometimes their parents get a wee bit annoyed. Then Colonial Madis flashes his folks that charming smile of his and, well, all is usually forgotten. He can charm the pants off his mother and father. "Colonial Prudence" is a 16" Colonial cloth doll with an embroidered face. She has button eyes, a raised nose, and blushed cheeks. The inside of her mouth is colored rose. Her boots are cross-tied and painted black. She is wearing gathered bloomers. The front bodice of her dress has three layers of lace trim with the center layer being pearls & lace. Her colonial dress has lace trimmed sleeve, a lace trimmed neck edge, and lace trimmed bottom. The apron that is tied around her waist is lace trimmed and tied around her waist in the back. She has a mass of curly brown hair which is barely controlled under her colonial bonnet, which is also lace trimmed and lined. Colonial Prudence is ever mindful of her family reputation and standing in the community and has her hands full keeping her brother, Colonial Madis, in line. However, she also has a secret weapon in her charming smile and knows that when she gives her brother a certain glance and then a certain smile that he knows enough to behave himself.

My question for crate training is he needs to be comfortable with it first before I put him in there for biting right?
Though if you are frustrated with your training ... you can use the crate as a 'time out' for your puppy while you get your calm back. So the crate is never a PUNISHMENT. Should be there happy place that they love to be in and go to...
Dog training is 100% about us learning how to train our pups, then they learn so well! So if we are getting frustrated or something is not working then that shows a problem with what WE know and need to learn, not the puppies fault.
Here's how to start up the crate training --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...uppy-cage.html
Fact is though, once you start up a great regime with --> http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum...s-puppies.html as your goals (socialization/engagement/exercise as keys) then you'll notice things improving.
Try to find a set of puppy classes that progress into regular training. Such a great way to get a start on training the puppy and ourselves! I know I'm in puppy classes right now with my Osin and she's my FIFTH dog and 4th GSD. I'm still in classes too

getting the drop command is easier with treats. then wean off treats when he gets it.
I'd be scared of the vet bills coming if a crate is too much, just food for thought.
|Thank you for all the advice. Yes, I have been trying to teach him as best that I can. Sometimes he doesn't want the treat at all though even though he did what I asked him too. Also, I was going to buy a crate but spent it on the vet for an initial checkup and his shots too.
You can get a smaller airline crate at TSC or Wal-mart for around $30. As someone else said, be realistic about vet bills... you've got several rounds of vet visits coming up that will cost a whole lot more than a crate (especially if you have a puppy who has access to anything and everything).
As for the behaviors... aside from the fact that crating is your best friend... keep in mind that he is a baby. He lacks impulse control, and he explores EVERYTHING with his mouth. What I found helpful was to focus on behaviors you DO want, rather than correcting what you don't want. Whenever he drops a toy on his own throughout the course of the day, reward him. If you turn it into a struggle trying to take it away from him, it just becomes a game to him and it is self-defeating. Don't expect too much from him- he's a toddler. Right now, make learning obedience and good behaviors FUN, make it a game. Good manners are ingrained through repetition and routine at this age.
|Cassidy's Mom
#1: He's not too young to start training. Keep your expectations reasonable though - he's only going to know what you've taught him, and his attention span is going to be very short.
#2: He's not "stubborn". He's still a baby and he doesn't yet know what you expect of him. Training is a process that takes some time. Stubborn can only be a factor when he's 100% sure what you're asking of him and he refuses to comply. I can guarantee that at his age, that's not what's happening.
Whether or not you use a crate is entirely up to you. There are many good reasons to use one, however. Whenever I couldn't be actively supervising my puppy (taking a shower, cleaning house, at work, making dinner, eating a meal?) puppy went in the crate. Housebreaking is much easier with a crate, as is preventing destructive chewing, which can be very expensive and potentially life threatening.
If you need to leave your dog at the vet for any reason, it's going to be easier on him if he's crate trained. Also, if you ever plan to travel and need to leave him in a hotel room, or if you're going to participate in any dog sports, he'll need to be in a crate. My dogs were crated when not being worked at nosework classes, and Halo is in a crate at flyball practice every week. We've traveled out of town for flyball tournaments, which involved staying in hotels and crates. Do you ever want to take him to someone else's house, either for a visit or an overnight stay? Your hosts will appreciate him being in a crate when you can't watch him.

Jason's Journal: A Preserve for People
By Jason Beverlin
Deputy Director of the Illinois River Program
July 2007 — For the first time in 83 years, we have canoers at Emiquon!
When Emiquon was converted to farmland in the early 1920s, water was pumped out of the plains so that it could be farmed. Now that we're managing the pump, we can create and maintain a functioning floodplain. Over the last few months, we've been stocking native fish in the waters here. Twenty-one species of fish have been introduced thanks to our partnership with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and a grant from Dynegy helped us install 260,000 trees. We've already proven that we can manage beautiful places. Now we're proving that we can restore a system.
Emiquon is an unusual site for The Nature Conservancy because we're designing it not just with nature in mind, but also people. That means that there will be hiking trails as well as a lot of collaboration with neighboring Dickson Mounds and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The first phase of the wetland area has been constructed, and a parking lot and boardwalk are now available for our visitors. The Grand Victoria Foundation has generously given us a $90,000 grant for a visitor use plan. We invite you to visit Emiquon as it continues to grow, both as a preserve for nature and wildlife and as a place for people to respect and enjoy.

I have been accused of being one of those liberal touchy-feely characters because I support government action to confront global warming. Critics charge if anything is done to deal with the energy crisis it means we will be forced to live in log cabins and use candle power. So, here are a few suggestions to avoid living in log cabins.
1. A massive Marshall Plan(in 1948, the American Marshall Plan helped devastated European nations recover) to dramatically improve mass transportation systems in large cities. For example, in the New York City area have suburban train systems, like the Long Island Railroad, run trains every ten minutes. Subsidize train fares. After all, we subsidize farmers.
2. A high speed train system crisscrossing the nation. Subsidized fares.
3. Require all cars to have at least 40 mpg. Allow five years for those with cars not matching that standard to get rid of their car.
4. Since trucks get lower mpg, fund a research program to improve truck fuel efficiency. I refuse to believe a nation that set men on the moon is incapable of solving this problem.
5. Wind farms all across the nation. Sorry, environmentalists who complain about the scenery, but this takes precedence over what looks nice.
6. Use of sea power.
7. Solar panels where feasible.
8. Improve efficiency of windows in homes to be more energy effective.
9. Ban single passenger cars from entering major cities during rush hours.
10. Improve efficiency of light bulbs.
11. Rethink use of nuclear energy.
12. Add bus lanes to interstate highways.
13. Establish a $10 billion fund to reward new ideas in energy efficiency.
Here is my baker's dozen to begin the dialogue. I suspect there are at least fifty other ideas that could be done. Will this ideas, reduce "freedom?" Probably, if one defines "freedom" as the right to destroy the earth. Just remember, until invention of automobile there were no speeding laws in America. The introduction of such laws undoubtedly took away the "freedom" of some people.
Will my ideas cost money? Absolutely. In World War II, the paramount issue was winning the war. Tax rates were as high as 50% on many incomes. We had food and gas rationing because Americans regarded victory as more important than selfishness.

P.O.S. Catholic priest
Priest confesses
From CNN - in part:
During the film, O'Grady details how he preyed on children, how the Diocese of Stockton, California, knew about the abuse, and how O'Grady claims church officials allowed him to abuse children for two decades by moving him from parish to parish instead of removing him from ministry.
"I want to promise myself this is going to be the most honest confession of my life," O'Grady said in the film. "And in doing that, I need to make a long journey back, understanding what I did and to acknowledge that. And in some ways make reparations for that."
The filming of O'Grady takes place in Dublin, Ireland, where he is now a free man after serving seven years in prison. The former priest was deported to his native Ireland after his release.
Prayers by day, rape by night
"He was in here saying morning prayers, during the nighttime he's molesting my daughter," a tearful Bob Jyono said in the film. "Raping her," he continues, "not molesting her -- raping her. At 5 years old. How can that happen? That's just what he did."
Records show church officials knew about O'Grady's alleged molestation as far back as 1976. Church officials did not tell police about prior abuse when O'Grady was being investigated for abuse in 1984.
There isn't even a 'smilie' that is bad enough to depict this kind of thing
