While in Madrid, I ran into an enormous group of people playing a life-sized game of Pac-Man. There were people dressed up as ghosts, people holding "power pellets" and, of course, Pac-Man himself.

In Berlin, I saw an overweight, middle-aged, shirtless man (mind you, this was in February during the coldest winter since 1976) running down the street and into the U-Bahn station. The whole time, he was shouting, "Ich bin der Bundeskanzler! Ich bin der Bundeskanzler!" ("I'm the federal chancellor!")
A couple months later, someone came up to a group I was standing with outside a movie theater and said to us, in German, "I'm the President of the United States." My professor wasn't even weirded out and just casually replied, "Nice to meet you!"
I guess some Berliners like to pretend to be heads of state.

I was talking to a friend of mine at school about our classes; specifically what subjects we really didn't like. We ended up getting into a pretty serious discussion and went on like that for a while until we both spotted the same guy coming down the path toward us. He was tall and lanky with long, unwashed hair and what I can only think to describe as improvised roller-skates on his feet. They were just normal shoes with big hinged wheels nailed to them; the kind of wheels you'd find on a wooden dolly. You know the kind, they never move in one direction, they always shake about and make moving anything impossible. This dude has to convulse his body in such a strange way to propel himself in these goofy things that my friend and I just stared at him until he was out of sight.
I saw a what seemed to be 10 year old child playing with a Rubik's cube.
The thoughts that went through my mind: "Wow, it's good to see SOME kids are exerting mental activity in this damned neighborhood".
And then, the kid proceeded to throw the cube, and play fetch with it for 5 minutes. In a grocery store.
I remember walking in downtown Minneapolis one night (always a good idea) and coming up on two guys waiting at an intersection for the light to change, I overheard the last part of their conversation where one of the guys said to the other "I don't care what he says, I'll MAKE him smoke crack.", then they drove off.

Time went on and I had children... so I didn't want to risk any damage at all to my breasts since I was breastfeeding... I nursed my 3 children a total of 9 years... 6 months out of those years was tandem nursing. My breasts have served me well. Now it's time to make them look good and finally relieve the back pain I've had since I was 17!!
I am currently a 34DD. Bra straps KILL me. I avoid wearing a bra as much as I possibly can. I get horrible headaches that start in my shoulders and the tension runs up into my neck (I have arthritis in my neck and upper spine) and then it turns into the killer headaches I have dealt with most of my life.
It's difficult to exercise on a regular basis because they are just so heavy and flop around and make me feel even worse. I was always petite but since I had emergency intestinal surgery I haven't been able to get these 30 lbs off me that just weigh me down and wear me out. I am so ready to have small boobs so I can exercise and have this pain relief and feel good again. I really miss feeling good. It's been so long.
At my last pain management appointment, I asked if my breast size could possibly be contributing to the amount of pain I have. He referred me to the PS, and she said DEFINITELY yes. She put in for approval for the surgery, and the insurance company said yes, it's medically necessary! So I schedule the surgery next week and I couldn't be happier.
I have been doing some research on my surgeon and have found nothing but good and positive things said about her. She said this is her favourite surgery to do. She said she's had patients who report INSTANT pain relief, even with post operative swelling.
I'm hoping that I am a B when all is said and done. I'm so excited. I've waited so long for this.
I have awful fear of surgery and anesthesia but knowing what the results are going to be is what is keeping me on this path. I will post more when I take some "before" pictures and when I know more after having my next appointment with my PS.

(originally posted in the stove section and recommended that I post here to get advice from the experts) I've been burning wood in a newly installed US Stove Clayton 1800. Until yesterday. That furnace can really go through some wood! Any way, I had some bituminous available and wow...talk about a hot fire. I was real happy. I loaded about 20 lbs on top of some wood embers and the coal fired right up, once the coal stabilized a little I added about 20 lbs more. I continued this way trying to fill the box up to the top of the bricks just like I had read on this forum but every time I would start to put in the larger load to fill, the new coal would really take off and I would get so much fire and smoke I had to shut the door til it calmed down. About 6 hours into this process everything went south and I noticed smoke coming out of the pipe joints, check the chimney cap and the bird wire in the cap had sooted up so up on the roof I go at 2am...boy its cold up there!
What did I do wrong to cause enough soot to close off my cap after only about six hours of coal? I ripped the bird wire out of the cap for starters, still got a good fire going, bottom draft knob is closed and the forced air draft is on. On problem I have with the forced air draft is that the slide plate that restricts the air tends to vibrate all the way open very easily, so that is were it tends to wind up. Were should this thing be anyway?

Hi Pink_Wesell,
what dimensions do you have in the skirt used?
I started the project "Zam Wesell" a few weeks ago, and have a few different measure found.
Your Skirt looks nice,great craftmanship !!!
This is amazing and I'm really enjoying following your progress, keep at it!!
Oh! You sold a non finished one- and started again? I think I would die
I know it's been a while, but I would love to see if anything came of this
I can handle all the sewing parts and the images of the pepicura creation finally put into perspective what they are for but do you (or any one else) know where to get the greeblies (like the medallions and such)? I would even be happy with a place to get (free or purchased) 3D print files for them. Thank you!
JDFett sells the greeblies; look at his greeb thread for more.
Really good wip Cant wait to see it finished!
Thank you very much. No updates for now. Been too busy to even think about the whole project.
- - - Updated - - -
I also sell kits, if interested. I haven't been banging about much, though.
I feel like I am so late to this game - everything is almost 2 years old. But, wondering if you are currently doing any of the kits, what the entail, and how much? PM if you would like! Just starting to get pieces together to start on this. Biggest question I have right now, what thickness leather is the skirt pieces? Trying to decide between 5/6 and 7/9 from Tandy...
Looks great! Where did you get your pepkura from?

I just made an attempt at my 1st jailbreak and everything seemed to be working solid, now I'm just waiting for it to boot back up while it's at the Apple Logo. It's been about 3 minutes or so, is this normal? Every minute or so I get two vibrates, also.
Hm, it went black an back to the Apple logo automatically. It's getting some kind of connection cuz something popped up in Windows asking if I want to transfer my picture files over, just like it normally does every time I plug in my iPhone. I'm having the feeling something is wrong though, ****.
Alright yeah it ****** up. And it keeps shocking the **** out of me, I can't even touch the phone.
EDIT: Okay I restored my iPhone in iTunes without putting my backup back on and tried jailbreaking it again and it worked this time. Now can I go into iTunes and put everything back on there now?
Haha wow, I'm having SO many problems. I finally got everything up an running nicely, and after loading cydia a few times and installing winterboard I unplugged the phone an it locked up. So now I'm guessing I have to restore again, nice.
Sorry for all my grunting, I guess it freezes up an reboots when you install Winterboard. I finally got it all figured out, and I'm running the theme I wanted =] Just the alignment on the background is SLIGHTLY off but not to where any icons are going over the lines so it's fine. Now how do I install battery meters/sliders/signal bars etc. I can't seem to find where to put that stuff under the SSH.

In case you needed a good laugh today...
We at Strawberry Moon talk a great deal about sustainability. We strive for zero-waste, lowering our environmental impact, and promoting of our local farmers, all while delivering fresh, delicious juices straight to your door. The company was founded on the principle of providing minimally processed food that supports local agriculture and the vitality of our planet.
But what exactly does working for a sustainable food system mean?
Before we answer that, we'd like to share an example of what it is not. Simply Orange, a Coca-Cola owned company, is marketed as a fresh-from-the-grove, simply picked, squeezed and bottled orange juice. It is in fact a hyper-engineered and dauntingly industrial product that is piped long distances underground and controlled by numerous algorithms which factor global patterns. It can be stored up to eight months while suspended in a nitrogen cloud. This process is described in detail by Bloomberg news. It is the opposite of sustainable food.
The simplest definition of "sustainable agriculture" is the production of food, fiber, or other plant or animal products using farming techniques that protect the environment, public health, human communities, and animals. Simply put, sustainable agriculture allows us to produce real, healthful food that does not compromise the well-being of the consumer, enhances the environment, supports the farmer, and enables future generations to do the same.
This idea of promoting a sustainable food system has become more mainstream, and the demand for less processed and fresh foods is growing. Because of this shift, large food production companies have created savvy ways to market their goods as farm-fresh, whole and healthy. The ugly truth is their food products are treated more like the processing at an oil-refinery where anything natural must be killed and manipulated.
It is more important than ever for people to understand the source of the foods they consume, how it's grown, raised, and prepared. Just because it's marketed as "all natural" doesn't make it so, and just because we ask for it doesn't mean the industry will easily throw out the old ways of doing things. There are billions of dollars invested in the production of food, and the industry won't change without a fight.
We at Strawberry Moon are doing our part by providing you with fresh, minimally processed juice. We treat our juice production more like a craft with an old-world feel than a commodity. We continue to improve our relationship with local farms because locally grown vegetables and fruits harvested within hours of landing in our kitchen or on your table taste the best. The vibrancy of their flavors cannot be beat! We aren't manipulating our juice to make it universally consistent. In fact, fruits and vegetables have different characteristics depending on where and how they are grown. The more we eat real food, the more our taste buds can pick up on these subtle nuances and we can learn to celebrate the differences. Of course, we live in Seattle so local is not always available but we always strive to buy local and organic when possible. We feel Washington farmers deserve a quality life. Family farms, ranches and family-owned small businesses are vital to a sustainable economy. Keeping families on their land and earning a fair living preserves a rich heritage, sustains communities and supports our best traditions.
We pledge to buy organic and local as much as possible then simply cold press & bottle. No pipeline or air traffic control. No algorithms. Sustainability is everyone's challenge and it doesn't come without a price. We are taking baby steps in the right direction and do what we can to promote a shift in our food system. We whole-heartily endorse the goals and practices of sustainable agriculture and we encourage everyone who shops for food, cooks it up, and loves eating well as much as we do to consider its impact.
It's easy to become wrapped up in the health claims of the food industry and it can definitely be confusing at times. Consumers are always looking for the quick and easy answer to living a long and healthy life. If you've come to our pages looking for the next big thing, a panacea, a quick fix, you've come to the wrong page. We encourage basic principles backed by scientific evidence that will take willpower, a bit of effort and, at times, a certain level of discomfort. Radiant health is something you work for each and everyday. Our juice gives our customers a low calorie, nutrient dense option filled with the elements that our body pulls from our earth to build the life we know. We believe in providing real, delicious food that supports overall health through intermittent fasting and a plant-based supplement to your diet.
Along with diet, it's important to move naturally. While yoga, weightlifting, and running marathons challenge the body and have their advantages, it is not entirely necessary to go to such extremes for optimal health. Weightlifting for the inflexible can injure joints and muscles. Yoga for the hyper flexible can lead to destabilization and endurance sports can accelerate the aging process if not spaced appropriately. What matters is that you move. Get out of the chair off of the couch and move. Stop looking for the path of lease resistance and use that resistance to train your body.
The path to healthy living is simple, as we learned from the centenarians in this Ted Talk. Have a reason to get out of bed every day and find a way to always love that reason or stay engaged with it. Find away to reduce, relieve, and release stress. Eat less food and limit meat consumption. Drink, party, and indulge only in moderation - the less you do the easier it is to reduce hedonistic indulgences from time to time. Build a loving and supportive social network full of people who inspire and encourage you to be the best you can possibly be.
Back in January, we were featured in the Seattle Weekly as an up-and-coming raw juice company in Seattle. Business has boomed even since then and things are better than ever. We still believe that the demand for raw juice in Seattle will gain momentum, and we're going to be at the forefront of the revolution!
10 years ago today the world lost a good one...
RIP Mr. Rogers
Need to simmer down today? The manatees are here to help you.

Posted by Andy Hoar on June 9, 2011
Recently two colleagues of mine, Patti Freeman Evans and Martin Gill, put their respective cities' shopping meccas to the multichannel test. The question: To what extent were bricks and mortar retailers on Fifth Ave in New York and Oxford Street in London using their physical stores to advertise and promote their digital channels?
Eager not to be left out...and curious to see how my city of Chicago would fare…I paid a visit to our world famous "Magnificent Mile" to see if/how bricks and mortar retailers promoted a connection to their own digital channels.
As I walked both sides of Michigan Ave (home to retailers such as Northface, Macys and Gap…as well as high-end retailers such as Tiffanys, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel)…I thought to myself, would Chicago be different from London and New York? Would America's heartland have a better feel for a large and growing number of shoppers today who may physically "be" in stores but whose shopping "attention" may reside elsewhere?
Some findings:
Posted by Diane Clarkson on June 2, 2011
As Brian Walker discusses in "Welcome To The Era Of Agile Commerce," traditional ways of describing multichannel commerce no longer work because customers don't interact with companies from a "channel" perspective. As a result, eBusiness professionals must transform how they market, transact, serve, and organize around changing customer experiences.
This has a significant impact on customer service. Agile customer service means providing a consistent and channel-agnostic customer experience across all touchpoints. Let's think about this from a customer's perspective: An agile customer service experience means customers can interact with whatever touchpoints they choose -- website, mobile app, kiosk, telephone, IVR -- and all along the way, your organization has identified who they are, knows what their last interaction with you entailed, anticipates what help they might need, and can meaningfully recommend products or services that might enhance their experience.
I am writing a document to explore the attributes of an agile customer service organization and have been speaking with many eBusiness leaders.
The general consensus in the conversations I've had to date is that the objective is fairly clear but the path to get there is ambiguous.
At the same time, there is a sense of urgency because consumers are pushing us into technologies to deliver the experience they desire; customers are adopting social media, mobile devices, tablets, and other technologies, and they have increasingly high expectations about how these will help improve or simplify their lives.

Have a Gluten-Free Halloween!
Recipe Ideas for Holiday Treats
Need a gluten-free approach to Halloween? How about adding these gluten-free treats to your menu: Pumpkin Cinnamon Cheesecake, Chocolate Orange Truffles and Vegan Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, for starters. They are just some of the recipes released by cookbook author Elana Amsterdam of Elana's Pantry specifically for those with celiac disease or other gluten intolerance.
Amsterdam uses coconut or almond flour in place of commonly used white wheat or rice flour, putting together a number of Halloween recipes that are high in both protein and fiber. Many of them use pumpkin, in keeping with the "spirit" of the season. Recipes available include everything from pumpkin cinnamon cheesecake to pumpkin ginger soup to pumpkin bars (including the pumpkin seeds pictured).
"As someone who lives with celiac disease, I know firsthand how difficult Halloween can be," says Elana. "Especially when we are younger, everyone is bringing candies and treats to school, and those of us with gluten-intolerances are often left behind. I want to change that."
To find the recipes, go to www.elanaspantry.com.

Off idle driveability problems
Hello. I have been trying to correct the drive-ability issues with my 1978 231 v6 firebird, all stock.
Ever since I had the car, It has been undriveable, it couldn't idle for more a few minutes, backfiring through the carb on WOT and stalling coming to a quick stop. Vacuum has always been low and inconsistent, the plugs fouled very quickly, with black smoke under load.
I just replaced the carb with a re-manufactured Rochester 2bbl, and noticed immediate improvement in the idle, with 15 in hg vacuum @ 900rpm.
My problem is this:
When I put the transmission in Drive the RPMs fall to 550 and vacuum drops to 5in hg, the engine wants to stall. If I SLOWLY increase the speed to 1000 RPM to keep it running vacuum goes to 0 in hg.
The engine doesn?t want to go much faster than 1000rpm in Drive/Reverse. If I get on it too quickly it cuts out. It hasn?t got enough power to drive up the driveway. Put it back in park, vacuum returns to 15in hg.
I have checked for vacuum leaks, and can?t find any. I cleaned the plugs when I changed the carb. The plugs are still going black and are gas fouled, but not as bad as they were. Choke is working properly. The plug wires are separated, and I have checked (with a timing light) for a spark on all cylinders.
I tried swapping the HEI coil for another, no difference. Also cleaned and checked rotor and distributer cap.
I tried advancing the timing (the vacuum gauge pointed to late ignition timing). Its base timing is now at 19? at 900 RPM. Slight improvement in idle quality but had no effect on my problem. I am running new 95 octane gas, with two fuel filters, both clean.
However I noticed, under the EGR blank off plate, the intake port was full of gas. I don?t know why.
Sorry to be so long winded but I have spent a few days working on this and can?t fix it. I just want to give you as much info as possible, so as not to waste your time.
Any help with this would be very appreciated. Thank you.

A Dominican native, the outfielder struck out 122 times in 110 games last year and has whiffed 611 times in 658 career minor league games, drawing just 187 walks over that time.
An experienced centerfielder who has also spent time in left and right field, Senreiso has stolen as many as 45 bases in a season (2003) and has swiped 16 or more in every season of his career.
He is a career .268 hitter but has batted .284 or better in each of his last three seasons, hitting .287 in 106 games last season for High-A High Desert.
He has a solid outfield arm, notching 47 outfield assists over his last three seasons, but he is also prone to making lazy errors.
"Pretty good hitter, definitely would be categorized as a free swinger," a Texas Rangers scout said. "Strong arm in the field, but he played like a cocky SOB. I remember him misplaying a fly ball in right field because he tried to one hand it."

Sleep and Aging
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does your need for sleep change as you get older?
Sleep needs change over a person's lifetime. Children and adolescents need more sleep than adults. Interestingly, older adults need about the same amount of sleep as younger adults -- seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
Unfortunately, many older adults often get less sleep than they need. One reason is that they often have more trouble falling asleep. A study of adults over 65 found that 13 percent of men and 36 percent of women take more than 30 minutes to fall asleep.
Also, older people often sleep less deeply and wake up more often throughout the night, which may be why they may nap more often during the daytime. Nighttime sleep schedules may change with age too. Many older adults tend to get sleepier earlier in the evening and awaken earlier in the morning.

Complete Ivy League Men's Lacrosse Weekly
Release (PDF)
PRINCETON, N.J. -- On the final day of the season, Princeton downed Cornell, 14-9, to win the outright Ivy League title and clinch the top seed in the 2012 Ivy League Men's Lacrosse Tournament field. As the No. 1 seed, the Tigers will play host to the third annual event. The winner of the tournament will receive the League's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
With the win, Princeton snapped Cornell's run of winning at least a share of nine consecutive League titles. The Tigers also match the Big Red with 26 Ivy League titles dating back to 1956.
Brown also punched its ticket to the 2012 tournament on the final day of play when it downed Dartmouth, 10-8, and Yale beat Harvard, also by the score of 10-8. The Bulldogs, keyed by Dylan Levings' 17-for-22 performance at the faceoff 'X', are one of the hottest teams in the country as they have now won seven games in a row. Brown's win was also spurred on by an impressive faceoff showing, as Tommy Capone won 15 of the 21 draws he took.
In nonconference play, Dartmouth downed Vermont 10-5 led by
Kip Dooley's five-point showing. Elsewhere,
Penn closed its season with a narrow loss to sixth-ranked Virginia,
10-8. Quaker senior Dan Savage notched his fourth
hat trick of the season in the loss.
Cornell and Yale will each be making third consecutive appearances in the tournament. The Big Red, who hosted the event in 2010 and 2011, captured the 2011 title. Princeton won the inaugural tournament in 2010, when Brown made its only other appearance in the event.

Princeton senior Alex Capretta (Mill Valley, Calif.) scored a career-high five goals to lead the Tigers to their first outright Ivy League Championship since 2002. Capretta scored his first goal 3:10 into the game, giving the Tigers a lead they would never relinquish. He then added another in the second, two more in the third and then another in the fourth. He joins Tom Schreiber (Feb. 27) and Jeff Froccaro (March 19) as Princeton players who earned Ivy League Player of the Week honors in 2012.
Weekly Stats
1 GP, 5G, 5 Pts., 8 Shots, .625 shooting%
Playing against one of the hottest goalies in the nation in Princeton's Tyler Fiorito, Cornell freshman Matt Donovan (Morristown, N.J.) put six shots on goal and tied a career-high with four goals against the Tigers on Saturday evening. His first two goals helped the Big Red cut into an early Princeton lead, bringing Cornell back to within one (4-3) at the 13:20 mark of the second quarter.
Donovan has now earned Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors five times this season (Mar 5, March 26, April 2, April 9). Dating back to 1987 when the award made its debut, Donovan is the first player to earn five such honors. Players with four awards in that time span include Brown's Nick Piroli (2012), Princeton's Peter Trombino (2004), Ryan Boyle (2001) and BJ Prager (1999), as well as Cornell's Sean Greenlaugh (2002) and Harvard's Matt Primm (2000).

This Wednesday morning (01.08), the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Local Organising Committee (LOC) published the first version of the Team Base Camps official brochure, with 54 candidates that have signed contracts. In technical terms, 76 venues were approved in total. Another two versions of the brochure shall be published in the first and second half of 2013.
Among the venues approved, 30 are located in the Southeast region, 14 in the South, four in the North, three in the Central-West and three in the Northeast.
The Executive Secretary of the Ministry of Sport Luis Fernandes, has forwarded the information that the federal government shall offer a credit line for the financing of restructuring work of public grounds that plan on applying to become TBCs. "The structuring, consolidation and selection of TBCs is key and a foundation in the process for holding the World Cup, and will leave a legacy of modern sport complexes throughout the country. There is also the creation of an environment of mobilisation for the event. Several other cities will feel part of the process", stated Fernandes.
Fernandes also pointed out the importance of the event for the development of Brazil. "It is an opportunity to drive the development of the country. By choosing the 12 host cities, we created 12 development hubs in Brazil, but the opportunities for national development go much beyond these cities", he added.
According to Ricardo Trade, LOC Operations Director, the candidature of 133 municipalities, in the 26 states plus the Federal District, is proof of how the competition may reach different layers.
According to the governor of the Sao Paulo state Geraldo Alckmin, the state has a credit line for financing the modernisation of hotels and training centres, and ten entities have shown interest in it. "Our development agency has awarded R$ 300 million in credit for hotels, guest houses, refurbishment work, equipment, as well as private and public training centres. Nine stakeholders from the private and public sector have shown interest", he explained.
The Team Base Camps are venues that will be used as headquarters by national teams during the FIFA World Cup. They are made up of a training ground and an official hotel. In order to be listed in the TBC catalogue, hotels need to sign a contract with the FIFA hospitality company and the training grounds need to sign an agreement with LOC. "From the 1st of September, national teams may tell FIFA which they prefer, but the final decision will only be made after the World Cup draw", explained Frederico Nantes, LOC Competition Manager and in charge of inspections.
According to Nantes, with the release of the first version, LOC is close to the minimum number of TBCs that should be offered by Brazil. Up until now, LOC has received 279 applications and inspected 244. "We have been congratulated in writing by FIFA for the completion of this stage. We need to offer a minimum of 64 Team Base Camps, but the expectation is that we offer 85, maybe 100", concluded Nantes.

Hi, I'm going in to doing a bit of freelance just to pay for the reseller account I have and earn a bit on the side. Because of this I can't really afford to spend a lot of money on apps and tools to get myself organised so I was thinking if anyone has any ideas to help me out.
FTP:I'm currently using Filezilla which is very usefull.
Editor:I've been using editplus for ages having brought an old version and Ive recently switched to PSPad Edit which does pretty much the same thing - I haven't used it for much yet.
Photo editor / vector graphicI'm currently using Gimp on ubuntu but I cant get the hang of it - might just be that I don't know enough about it. :/
I'm also looking for:Freelance organizer, time tracker, organiser. Ideally im looking for something that is open source and a web application - something i can install and use on my webserver.Helpdesk / ticket system - somewhere where clients can post problems and request support - perhaps an account manager for them. Ideally the same as above.
Design or draft creator - something where I can create a rough design of the websites and share it with clients - this can be a desktop app.
Anything else that I need to do freelance - any free advice (see what I did there :D)
Filezilla is definitely tops. As far as an editor, I like textpad, been using it for years when I can't just use vi on the server.
I'd also recommend open office, which is an MS office replacement - some of your organization stuff can be taken care of using its spreadsheets. Or I'd look into online web-based stuff, I seem to think that Google has some tools that may be useful.
I have open office installed on my ubuntu machine and used it for writing invoices when I've done odd jobs for friends and family. I have google account and have used google docs for the spreadsheet use - it never even occurred to me that I could also use it to keep track of my expenses etc. Thinking about it I could also create a shared folder and write up a brief on what ive agreed with the client and share that out with the clients account (if they don't have one I can create one based on their domain and give them the login details) that way we can use it as a contribution tool and its always available where I can access the net!!
Psyper, hopefully the following may be helpful:
Notepad++ (Very good code editor)GIMP (Raster Drawing)Inkscape (Vector Drawing)OpenOffice (You've used this before)Paint.NET (Basic Drawing)Dia (Technical Drawings)Pencil (Wireframing App)Audacity (Audio Editing)Scribus (Desktop Publishing)WinMerge (File comparing - for changes)7Zip (Archiving stuff)iFreeBudget (Simple budget app)FileZilla (FTP - you've used)Color Cop (get's color codes from stuff onscreen)FruitfulTime TaskManager (task manager)

Tournament notes: Rams open MW tournament as No. 3 seed
March 6, 2012
Complete Release | MW Tournament Central
After closing out the regular season with an overall record of 13-16, and posting a 9-5 record in Mountain West action, the Colorado State women's basketball team enters the 2012 Conoco MW Basketball Tournament as the No. 3 seed. It is the highest seed CSU has earned since 2002-03.
The Rams moved up one spot in the standings from 2010-11, and captured nine conference victories under Head Coach Kristen Holt. The nine league victories are the most by a Rams squad since the 2001-02 team posted a record of 12-2 in MW play and earned a No. 1 seed.
This is the third time since the inaugural season in the Mountain West that Colorado State has entered the tournament as the third seed, doing so previously in 2003 and 2000.
Following the Rams...
All of the Rams' games at the 2012 MW tournament will be broadcast live on AM 1410 KIIX in the Fort Collins area. Matt Wozniak, in his third season, calls all the action. Live game audio will also be available via Rams All-Access subscription on CSURams.com.
Live statistics are available free of charge on TheMWC.com by clicking on the MW Tournament Central page at http://www.themwc.com/champ/12-mwc-bb-tourney.html. Fans can also follow the action from their mobile device at MWScores.com
Fans can catch live telecasts of the quarterfinal and semifinal rounds on The Mtn. (Comcast 411; DirecTV 616). The women's championship game, scheduled for Saturday at 2 p.m. MT, will be broadcast nationally on NBC Sports (Comcast 55; DirecTV 603; DISH 151).
CSU's MW tournament history...
Colorado State is 10-11 all-time in the Mountain West tournament, including a 9-8 mark in tournament games played in Las Vegas, Nev.
In 2001, the Rams rolled to a 3-0 mark to capture the tournament championship. Last season three players scored double figures and Sam Martin posted a double-double, but it wasn't enough to defeat eighth-seeded Air Force in the first round.
Below is a listing of the Rams' record vs. each league foe at the MW tournament:
|Tournament Games
|New Mexico
|Air Force
|San Diego State
|Boise State
Building a program of excellence...
The Rams finished out the 2011-12 regular season with a 13-16 record, third place in the Mountain West and the best conference record (9-5) under Head Coach Kristen Holt since she took over the reins four season ago. The Rams surpassed their conference win total from last season on Feb. 14, in a 67-58 victory over league newcomer Boise State. Colorado State also showed a solid performance at home. The Rams closed out their home schedule 10-3 on the season, tying the eighth-highest win percentage ever at Moby Arena (.769). CSU also finished the year undefeated at home in league play, going 7-0 on the Moby court.
2011-12 big wins...
On Jan. 21 Head Coach Kristen Holt earned her second career victory over Wyoming and her first during the regular season. The Rams broke the Cowgirls' four-game winning streak in the all-time series. Entering the game, CSU had lost 13 of 14 meetings with Wyoming since Jan. 28, 2005. The Rams recorded a season-low of 11 turnovers in the game and Hayley Thompson shot 4-7 for scoring nine points, contributing four assists and three steals on the afternoon.
Then on Feb. 11, Colorado State snapped another streak, defeating TCU for the first time in 13 years, 61-59. It was either team's game until the final seconds when Meghan Heimstra drew a charge with 40 ticks on the clock, creating a TCU turnover. Though two players could not convert from the free-throw line, Heimstra came up big again for the Rams, grabbing an offensive board off a missed free-throw attempt, securing a CSU victory.
In the final home game of the season on Feb. 25, Holt beat her first 20-win team vs. San Diego State. The teams were knotted at 62 until freshman LaDeyah Forte hit a go-ahead jumper with 43 seconds remaining. The Aztecs, who had lost just once in MW play, were forced to foul, sending senior Kim Mestdagh to the line. She made all four of her shots from the charity stripe, sealing the win.
A pair of sweeps for the Rams...
Four of Colorado State's Mountain West victories in 2012 came at the expense of two programs, as the Rams earned regular-season sweeps over Air Force and Boise State. Head Coach Kristen Holt is undefeated in her career vs. Air Force in the regular season with eight league wins. It was the first time the Rams swept the Broncos, who joined the MW this year.
Moby Madness...
For the first time since 2002-03, the Rams were undeated at home in conference play, compiling a 7-0 record. CSU (9-5) earned a winning record in Mountain West games for the first time since 2003-04. Colorado State's nine wins are the most the program has had in conference play since 2001-02.
With just three losses at Moby Arena this season, the Rams' .769 (10-3) win percentage ranks eighth all-time in the women's basketball record book.
The Big 5-0...
Head Coach Kristen Holt earned her 50th win at Colorado State on Feb. 25 vs. San Diego State. She became the fifth head coach in program history to achieve 50 or more wins at CSU.
Holt is the third coach in the program to reach the mid-centrury mark in four seasons or less. Former head coach Chris Denker achieved 50 wins in three seasons, and Tom Collen led the squad with former standout Becky Hammon to 50 wins in just two seasons at the helm.
2012 all-conference honors...
Colorado State guard Kim Mestdagh, forward Sam Martin and forward Meghan Heimstra received special honors Monday.
Mestdagh earned first-team all-Mountain West recognition, while Martin was honored with a second-team selection. Heimstra was named the Mountain West Sixth Player of the Year.
This is the first time the Rams have had three or more all-conference selections since the 2003-04 season when CSU had five honorees.
The 2012 selection marks Mestdagh's third consecutive appearance on an all-Mountain West team. She earned second-team all-Mountain West honors in 2010 and 2011. For Martin this is her second all-Mountain West honor as she was named third-team all-Mountain West in 2011. Heimstra receives her first collegiate honor. These three Rams helped CSU (13-16, 9-5 MW) secure the third seed in this week's Mountain West tournament.

Former Boggs Mtn. Shelter Director Found Guilty
By Craig Salmon, WRBN Radio, Clayton
A jury has convicted the woman accused of stealing money from the Boggs Mountain Animal Shelter in Rabun County.
Former Boggs Mountain Animal Shelter Manager Lowanda "Peanut" Kilby was found guilty on 60 counts, including charges of theft and racketeering, on Thursday after less than four hours of deliberation.
Kilby was charged with fraudulently taking donations intended for the shelter's "Lucky Dog/Lucky Kitty" programs.
Prosecutors say she took the money and then euthanized most of the dogs and cats in the program, animals she promised on the shelter's web site would be placed into new homes, and transferred money donated into the program into her personal bank account without the knowledge or approval of the Boggs Mountain shelter board.
Kilby claimed a co-worker was the one who took the money instead.
Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney Brian Rickman said he was not surprised by the jury's decision.
Meanwhile, Defense Attorney Tim Healy says they are planning to appeal the verdict.
Kilby was taken into custody following the verdict.
Sentencing will be held at a later date.

So it all comes down to this. One game will decide if the Colorado Avalanche will earn their first playoff series win in six years or have their storybook season cut short. The Avalanche organization has been preparing for exactly this scenario for years, this year especially. Over the grind of the regular season, the team earned the right to host this game, and now the moment has come for these young players to actually play in a game their childhood selves always imagined playing in. Nothing compares to the atmosphere of a Stanley Cup Playoffs Game 7.
For Colorado, this will be their first Game 7 since 2003, when they lost to this same opponent, the Minnesota Wild, in what was Patrick Roy's last game as a player. Now, 11 years later, Roy will get another crack at them, this time as a head coach. Appropriately, the last player ever to score a goal against Roy, Andrew Brunette, is now a part of the Wild organization in a non-playing capacity, just as Roy is with the Avalanche.
But the team isn't focused on the past. From the outside, fans have the luxury of putting these games into certain contexts, but for the players and coaches, it's all about taking care of business right now. The Avalanche have come a long way, not just throughout the season, but over the course of this series. They have played well in the last two games, rebounding from embarrassing performances in the two games prior. They have been initiated into the reality of the playoffs, into the intensity and environment that transcend anything that happens in the regular season.
Now they are back on home ice, facing elimination for the first time. But the team is embracing the situation they now find themselves in. They don't have to make major changes to the way they're playing. They have been doing the little things right. They've gotten stronger on the forecheck. Their puck movement on the power play has gotten better. They have kept good positioning on defense and stopped being grossly outshot. Although the last game didn't end the way they wanted it to, the team showed noticeable improvement in their play. And of course, the team has gotten a boost from the return of their leading scorer, Matt Duchene. Now if they just stay disciplined at play with the most urgency they can muster, they can finally put this series away with the Pepsi Center crowd rallying behind them.Tags: Colorado, Colorado Avalanche, Game 7, Hockey, Matt Duchene, NHL, Patrick Roy, Stanley Cup Playoffs

JVC DLA-RS60 Projector Review
Image time: For those of you unfamiliar with our reviews, we like to show you samples from multiple projectors to make some points. Any differences between the RS35 and the RS60 over all, are going to be slight. Since we cannot show you RS60 shots, the older ones will have to provide some perspective:
First is a seriously overexposed shot of the starship in The Fifth Element. Note, that even with this ridiculous level of overexposure, the blacks in the image and the letterbox are still not dramatically brighter than black, if you compare it to the image right below. Immediately below it, is a less overexposed version, which is also better for comparing with the same image in older reviews.

Orient-Express Rejects Buyout Offer From Indian Hotels
Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. (OEH), owner of New York's 21 Club restaurant and the Hotel Cipriani in Venice, Italy, rejected a takeover offer by Indian Hotels Co. (IH), saying the bid undervalues the company.
"Your opportunistic proposal was made at a time when the price of Orient-Express shares has been significantly depressed," the Hamilton, Bermuda-based company said in a letter to Indian Hotels. "Our board has unanimously concluded that your proposal significantly undervalues Orient-Express, and that now would be a highly disadvantageous time to sell."
Indian Hotels, in collaboration with other entities associated with Mumbai-based Tata Group, last month offered to buy the 93.1 percent of Orient-Express it doesn't already own for $12.63 a share. The unsolicited bid was 43 percent higher than Orient-Express's 20-day average price, a record premium for the industry, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"The board is deeply committed to creating value for our shareholders and will take whatever actions it believes will best accomplish that objective," J. Robert Lovejoy, chairman of Orient-Express, said in a statement. "We carefully evaluated the Indian Hotels proposal in that spirit but unanimously concluded it is deeply unattractive from a financial perspective."
'Highly Disadvantageous'
The economy, "conditions in the luxury hotel business and factors unique to Orient-Express would make this a highly disadvantageous time to sell the company to realize its true value," he said.
As part of the transaction, Montezemolo & Partners, a family-owned Italian fund, would invest $100 million for a minority stake in Orient-Express through its Charme II Fund, Indian Hotels said last month.
The partners "are reviewing the position taken by the Orient-Express board and considering their options with respect to their offer to acquire Orient-Express," Indian Hotels said in a statement today.
Orient-Express fell 11 percent to $10.55 at the close of trading in New York, the most since August 2011.
The company owns and operates luxury hotels, trains and restaurants worldwide including the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro and the Venice Simplon-Orient Express train. The company's shares, which peaked at $64.80 in October 2007 before the global financial crisis, have since plunged more than 80 percent.
Debt, Economy
"What hurt Orient-Express in the last few years was the economy and too much debt," Chris Agnew, a Stamford, Connecticut-based analyst at MKM Partners LLC with a buy rating on the stock, said in an interview. "That has held them back in accelerating some of their investments to help maximize returns."
Indian Hotels -- the country's biggest hotel operator, with properties including the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai and the Pierre Hotel in New York -- has held a portion of Orient-Express since 2007, when it paid $211.3 million for a stake in the company. Soon after the purchase, Orient-Express rejected an attempt by Indian Hotels to pursue strategic discussions.
In April, Indian Hotels restarted efforts to increase its stake in Orient-Express, two people with knowledge of the matter said at the time.
"We know from the past that their returns on assets had been much higher than what they are today," Agnew said. "If you believe they can get back to those returns, and obviously Orient-Express does, the stock should be worth more than the offer."
Orient-Express also said today that it named John M. Scott III, 47, president, chief executive officer and a director. He most recently served as president and CEO of luxury hotel chain Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.

Samuel Mullet is an Amish gentleman in Ohio who expresses severe anger toward male members of his religion who fail to cut their beard. In case you do not know, the old Man up in the sky shaves every day and is furious when men go around with a beard. I understand this might come across as rather confusing since so many humans insist that God has a long white beard.
Mullet organized bands of Amish men to attack any male who did not agree with him and as punishment cut off their hair– a violation of the Amish religion. He currently is on trial for kidnapping and assault. However, Samuel has great concern for women and gives them counsel and support in his bedroom. Mullet's daughter says her father has had sex with many women while engaged with them to discuss their problems.
This man has found the perfect con. Set the mob against the husband, get him out of the way and then counsel the wife and seduce her. Off with the hair, up with your penis! And, you can argue that God ordered the sex!!

Scanner chuckles
We have a scanner we listen to because of hubby's job. It's a higher grade scanner so I can even hear truck to truck, and not just the base's talking.
So tonite, we have the scanner on, and hubby comes in this room, just chuckling and asked me if I heard the police call in the village closest to us. No dear, I say. So he says.......someone called in about a white truck driving down the street and shining a light onto people's houses as he went along.
So the police get called out.....just a guy trying to make his deliveries.....
a FEDEX truck .......hehehehe....
The other day I was listening to it, and I hear them talking about a guy walking down the street in the wee hours of the morning, carrying his can of beer and the only thing he had on was his socks........( PS.....it's winter here )

I use my scanner quite a bit. For up to date information, it is second to none. This time of the year I can hear the snow plow drivers talk about the road conditions. After a bad storm, the first responders will do damage assessment so I know of any roads blocked with trees. It is also quite funny from time to time. Hearing school bus drivers trying to find a child who just decides to go home with a friend without permission shows they have the patience of Job.

Solaris is a 1961 philosophical science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. The book centers upon the themes of the nature of human memory, experience and the ultimate inadequacy of communication between human and non-human species.
In probing and examining the oceanic surface of the planet Solaris from a hovering research station the human scientists are, in turn, being apparently studied by the sentient planet itself, which probes for and examines the thoughts of the human beings who are analyzing it. Solaris has the ability to cast their secret, guilty concerns into a material form, for each scientist to personally confront.
Solaris is one of Lem's philosophic explorations of man's anthropomorphic limitations. First published in Warsaw in 1961, the 1970 Polish-to-French-to-English translation of Solaris is the best-known of Lem's English-translated works.[2]
Plot summary[edit]
Solaris chronicles the ultimate futility of attempted communications with the extraterrestrial life on a far-distant planet. Solaris is almost completely covered with an ocean that is revealed to be a single, planet-encompassing organism. Terran scientists concluded it is a sentient being and are attempting communication with it.
Kris Kelvin arrives aboard Solaris Station, a scientific research station hovering near the oceanic surface of the planet Solaris. The scientists there have studied the planet and its ocean for many decades, mostly in vain. A scientific discipline known as Solaristics over the years has degenerated to simply observing, recording and categorizing the complex phenomena that occur upon the surface of the ocean. Thus far, they have only compiled an elaborate nomenclature of the phenomena — yet do not understand what such activities really mean. Shortly before psychologist Kelvin's arrival, the crew has exposed the ocean to a more aggressive and unauthorized experimentation with a high-energy X-ray bombardment. Their experimentation gives unexpected results and becomes psychologically traumatic for them as individually flawed humans.
The ocean's response to their intrusion exposes the deeper, hidden aspects of the personalities of the human scientists — while revealing nothing of the ocean's nature itself. To the extent that the ocean's actions can be understood, the ocean then seems to test the minds of the scientists by confronting them with their most painful and repressed thoughts and memories. It does this via the materialization of physical simulacra, including human ones; Kelvin confronts memories of his dead lover and guilt about her suicide. The torments of the other researchers are only alluded to.
The ocean's intelligence expresses physical phenomena in ways difficult for the protagonists to explain using conventional scientific method, which deeply upsets the scientists. The alien mind of Solaris is so greatly different from the human mind that attempts at inter-species communications are a dismal failure.
The protagonist, Dr. Kris Kelvin, is a psychologist recently arrived from Earth to the space station studying the planet Solaris. He was cohabiting with Harey (Rheya in the Kilmartin/Cox translation), who committed suicide when he abandoned their relationship. Her exact double is his visitor aboard the space station and becomes an important character.
Snaut (Snow in the Kilmartin/Cox translation) is the first person Kelvin meets aboard the station, and his visitor is not shown.
The last inhabitant Kelvin meets is Sartorius, the most reclusive member of the crew. He shows up only intermittently and is always suspicious of the other crewmembers. His visitor remains anonymous; Kelvin only gets a glimpse of a straw hat.
Gibarian, who had been an instructor of Kelvin's at university, commits suicide just hours before Kelvin arrives at the station. Gibarian's visitor was a "giant Negress" who twice appears to Kelvin; first in a hallway soon after his arrival, and then while he is examining Gibarian's cadaver. She seems to be unaware of the other humans she meets, or she simply chooses to ignore them.
Harey (Rheya in the Kilmartin/Cox translation, an anagram of Harey), who killed herself with a lethal injection after quarreling with Kelvin, returns as his visitor. Overwhelmed with conflicting emotions after confronting her, Kelvin lures the first Harey visitor into a shuttle and launches it into outer space to be rid of her. Her fate is unknown to the other scientists. Snaut suggests hailing Harey's shuttle to learn her condition, but Kelvin objects. Harey soon reappears but with no memory of the shuttle incident. Moreover, the second Harey becomes aware of her transient nature and is haunted by being Solaris's means-to-an-end, affecting Kelvin in unknown ways. After listening to a tape recording by Gibarian, and so learning her true nature, she attempts suicide by drinking liquid oxygen. This fails because her body is made of neutrinos, stabilized by some unknown force field, and has both incredible strength and the ability to quickly regenerate from all injuries. She subsequently convinces Snaut to destroy her with a Sartorius-developed device that disrupts the sub-atomic structure of the visitors.
Cinematic adaptations[edit]
Solaris has been filmed three times:
- Solaris (1968), directed by Boris Nirenburg. Follows the plot quite closely, and keeps the emphasis on the planet rather than the human relationships.
- Solaris (1972), directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. The film loosely follows the novel's plot, emphasizing the human relationships instead of author Lem's astrobiology theories — especially Kelvin's Earth life, before his space travel to the planet. The film won the Grand Prix at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival.
- Solaris (2002), directed by Steven Soderbergh, starring George Clooney and produced by James Cameron, also emphasizing the human relationships — and again excluding Lem's scientific and philosophical themes.
Lem himself observed that none of the film versions depict much of the extraordinary physical and psychological "alienness" of the Solaris ocean:
|...to my best knowledge, the book was not dedicated to erotic problems of people in outer space... As Solaris' author I shall allow myself to repeat that I only wanted to create a vision of a human encounter with something that certainly exists, in a mighty manner perhaps, but cannot be reduced to human concepts, ideas or images. This is why the book was entitled "Solaris" and not "Love in Outer Space".
|— Stanislaw Lem, Solaris Station (December 8, 2002)[3]
Criticism and interpretations[edit]
In an interview Lem commented that the novel "has always been a juicy prey for critics", with interpretations ranging from that of Freudism to the anticommunism, the latter stating that the Ocean is the USSR and people on the space station are the Soviet satellites. He also commented on the absurdity of the book cover blurb for the 1976 edition that the novel "expressed the humanistic beliefs of the author about high moral qualities of the human".[4] Lem noted that the critic who promulgated the Freudist idea actually fell into a blunder, because he based his psychoanalysis on dialogues from the English translation, whereas his diagnosis would fail on the idioms in the original text.[5]
Cultural allusions and works based on Solaris[edit]

English translation[edit]
Both the original Polish version of the novel (first published in 1961) and its original English translation are titled Solaris. Jean-Michel Jasiensko published his French translation in 1964 and that version was the basis of Joanna Kilmartin and Steve Cox's English translation of 1970[11] (published by Walker & Co., and republished many times since).
Lem himself, who read English fluently, repeatedly voiced his disappointment about the Kilmartin–Cox version, and it has generally been considered second-rate. Since Lem sold his rights to the book to his Polish publishers, an improved English book translation seemed unlikely. Always remaining in print, the rights to it never reverted to the author.
On 7 June 2011, Audible.com released the first direct Polish-to-English translation as an audiobook download narrated by Alessandro Juliani.[12] The original Polish text was translated into English by Bill Johnston, with the approval of Lem's estate.[13] An ebook edition (ISBN 978-1-937624-66-8 ) of the Johnston translation followed.[14]

Joe Jackson to Release "The Duke" on June 26
Thu, 29 Mar 2012 16:38:57
Duke Ellington Photos
Joe Jackson Videos
Singer Joe Jackson will release The Duke, his tribute to Duke Ellington, on June 26 via Razor + Tie.
"I revere Duke Ellington, but I didn't want this to be a reverent album," Joe Jackson says of The Duke, his new tribute to American jazz giant Ellington.
True to Jackson's word, The Duke is a decidedly unconventional salute to Ellington, demonstrating the timeless brilliance of his classic compositions while showcasing Jackson's sublime skills as an arranger, instrumentalist and vocal interpreter. Although it's only the second time he's recorded an album not comprised of his own compositions, The Duke is nonetheless a deeply personal project for Jackson, whose longstanding affinity for Ellington's pioneering spirit has served as a key inspiration throughout his own three-decades-plus career.
The Duke finds the iconoclastic English singer/composer/arranger/keyboardist and five-time Grammy nominee interpreting 15 Ellington classics over the course of ten tracks, interspersing melodic and rhythmic elements of various compositions in a manner that's consistent with Ellington's own freewheeling approach. Rather than emulating the songs' original big-band settings, Jackson filters the material through his own musical imagination while exploring an assortment of unexpected grooves and textures. The resulting album is a seamless fusion of sounds and styles, whose abundant sense of playfulness is consistent with Ellington's boundary-breaking attitude.
"Ellington didn't consider his own arrangements to be sacred," Jackson notes. "He constantly reworked them, sometimes quite radically. So I think my approach is in the spirit of the man himself."
Though The Duke is a tribute album, it's also very much a Joe Jackson album, consistent with his long-standing sense of musical adventure. "When I started this", Jackson says, "It felt a little daunting – like, how am I gonna pull this off? But it started to pick up momentum, and took on a life of its own. I got to work with people I never thought I'd be able to get, and they were all extremely enthusiastic and supportive of the project. It all came together in a way that surpassed my expectations. And it's been a hell of a lot of fun."

Arsène Wenger believes that he can act as a managerial "guide" for his players.
Saturday's encounter with Sunderland sees the Frenchman go head-to-head with Roy Keane, a man mentored by Alex Ferguson after the Manchester United supremo signed him from Nottingham Forest in 1993.
Wenger has seen former players like Jurgen Klinsmann and Glenn Hoddle forge successful managerial careers of their own and the 58-year-old believes that his philosophies can be passed down to his players.
"The manager is a strong guide inside the club for the players," said Wenger, ahead of Saturday's trip to Wearside.
"From generation to generation, you want your philosophy to survive. Of course every player with his own character and personality brings a little bit of something that you feel is important to the game to the next generation.
"Now that I have been long enough in the job I have had many players that have become managers. You feel that at least you didn't disgust them from the job. The fact that you had players and gave them a taste to be a manager is always a big satisfaction."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.
