Former Specials star Jerry Dammers will perform a DJ set in the Tate Modern Tanks tomorrow as part of an art installation exploring the influence of Jamaica on British culture.
Dammers, 57, will play music from ska – the genre that originated in Jamaica in the late Fifties and influenced The Specials - to music of the present day including some of his own tracks.
The set will form the final hour of a day-long free viewing of a four-screen installation by artist Michael Barnes-Wynters telling the stories of 150 people originally from Manchester where he also lives.
As part of his exploration of "urban tribes," Barnes-Wynters, 49, asked all the participants how they perceived West Indian influences on life in the UK.
The installation, entitled Dutty Lingo, is open from 11am until 5pm. It is part of a season aimed at 15 to 25-year-olds although anyone can attend.

Re: Re: Version 6 "Mathematica Book" - updated
My feeling is that the tutorials in your chapter Further Tutorials are
just waiting to be adapted to the overall stucture of documentation
tutorials or to be removed. Your three main chapters are based on
overview notebook files that have links to other tutorials, all of them
having a TOCTitle cell and lower level links in TOCSection,
TOCSubsection, TOCSubsubsections cells. All these tutorials are found in
the three main chapters of your virtual book.
The further tutorials have a different structure. First, there is no
overview notebook containing a link to them. Then the relevant cells do
not have a TOC-structure. When there is a title cell at all, the type is
just Title. Moreover, when opened, some of them show the heading
obsolete tutorial.
As far as I know, WRI is working very hard on the documentation an I
expect that already in the next release we will have more overview
notebooks on more topics (stylesheets!) than we have now. That will have
an impact on your very useful virtual Mathematica book. But if that
release will have THE Mathematica book again is another question.
Personally, I feel no need for it and, like you, I am very happy with
the new documentation center.

Growing Up and Liking It
The monthly menstruation cycle, that natural occurrence which from time immemorial has made women the object of taboo and superstition, is the subject of this fresh and often humorous film. It introduces women of varying ages and cultural backgrounds who share the vivid and often disturbing memories of coming of age. A young Jewish woman recollects being slapped sharply across the face and then kissed to celebrate her womanhood. An East Indian tells how her mother had to take a cold shower in the middle of winter to purify herself. A far cry from the prim sex education manuals that the film gently mocks, it will touch deeply buried chords of memory in most women who see it. Growing Up and Liking It will interest husbands, boyfriends, and brothers who, one way or another, are affected by the vagaries of the female cycle.
City Lore Film Festival, 1993
National Women's Studies Conference, 1992
"The women's vivacious honesty as they intimately discuss something all females relate to makes this an especially provocative production lightened by humorous moments."

"Hands on a Hardbody," a new musical about a punishing contest to win a truck, will close its Broadway run on Saturday, producers said. The show is one of the first big casualties of a packed theatrical season that has seen strong ticket sales for star-driven shows like Tom Hanks' "Lucky Guy" and heavy anticipation for upcoming musicals like the West End transplant, "Matilda." It demonstrates once again how inhospitable Broadway can be to shows that arrive without much brand recognition or star power. The biggest name in this production was »

Here's the latest in Austin and Texas film news -- no April Fooling here.
The 16th Annual Cine Las Americas International Film Festival has announced its opening and closing-night movies. Blancanieves will open the festival April 16 at the Stateside Theatre.

In celebration of April Fools' Day, the Austin Film Festival will screen the fest's 2012 audience award-winning comedy Junk at 7 pm at Alamo Drafthouse Village as part of its Best of Fest series.

One kind of source material rarely exploited for musicals is the documentary. I'm not looking forward to a singing version of Capturing the Friedmans. But Doug Wright (who pulled off the trick with Grey Gardens) must like the grit and rhythm of real-life drama. His adaptation of the 1997 film Hands on a Hard Body into a musical of almost the same name (The last two words have mysteriously become one) features tough times, moral uplift, and alt-country songs by musical-theater royalty Amanda Green and Trey Anastasio of Phish.The story is vastly and smartly tightened; instead of giving us two dozen Texans competing in an endurance contest to win an Aztec-red Nissan (quite unsexy, but it gets entrance applause), the musical focuses on ten. Each struggles to keep a paw on the prize; the last to drop from exhaustion or dementia after several days will go home with the keys. »

Gregg won't seek gubernatorial nomination in 2016
John Gregg has announced he will not seek the Democratic nomination for governor in 2016.
Gregg lost to Gov. Mike Pence in the November 2012 election. Gregg's campaign focused on bipartisanship in an election year that saw Senate Republican candidate Richard Mourdock lose to Democrat Joe Donnelly.
In a statement on his Facebook campaign page, Gregg pointed to the 2012 results as the closest Democrats have come to winning the Indiana governor's seat for years, coming within 2.5 percentage points. He also said it was his intention to run for the seat in 2016 - until now.
Gregg said, "as I have been reminded many times over the years, sometimes life events curb one's focus. I have always been about more than 'politics' and over ten years ago I stepped back from the political world and its demands to focus on my family. It was a great choice – and one I am making again today."
He added that while "I may not be a candidate, I plan to stay involved. I still care deeply about the issues we talked about in 2012: Jobs that pay a living wage; working to develop our potential as a state with job growth in advanced manufacturing, medical devices, life sciences, energy and agriculture; and taking politics out of our public education system."
Read Gregg's full statement to supporters here.
During the campaign, Gregg faulted Pence for voting against the auto company bailout plan in Congress, calling that a vote against investing in American workers. Gregg said Pence focused too much on divisive social issues during his 12 years in Congress.
The announcement leaves the spot wide open for Indiana Democrats. There has been some speculation about Glenda Ritz, the sole Democrat holding an elected position in state government. Ritz has been embroiled in a power struggle with the state Board of Education. She announced a lawsuit against board members Tuesday.
Ritz would not comment on unofficial Facebook and Twitter pages touting her for governor.

Framing (Basement)
I'm framing some wall's in my basement and I have a few questions that someone may be able to help me with. It's all regarding moisture and framing in a below grade environment.
Can I use standard stud wood, kiln dried or do I need to consider something that has been treated in someway?
Should my top plate have a gap between it and the first floor joist? I read something about a slab that heaves can disrupt the joist?
Should by bottom / sole plate be treated in some way so that to stop moisture rotting it or causing mold issues as it will be in contact with the slab
Any help would be apprieciated
if you do a little search on our forum you'll find more discussions than you'd care to read I'm certain. this has been discussed seven ways from Sunday. with that said my thoughts are:
kiln dried except where it comes into contact with concrete, pressure treated, has your slab heaved in the past???? if so leave a gap, if not I wouldn't worry about it, if it heaves it'll push against the joist, chances are it's bend the studs. bottom plate treated.
there are numerous discussion on how to do a floor over concrete, how to insulate along the foundation wall, and pretty much any other topic concerning basements, it sees to be one of our more popular topics.
Good luck!
Where are you located? Here in Colorado it is common to build floating walls in basements because of the expansive clay. If you leave the gap at the top you will have to go with a suspended ceiling. If you want the expansion gap and a rock ceiling you will have to leave the gap at the bottom and install two bottom plates and a guide pin.
Sorry about the late response. Thanks for the insight, I'll be searching some of the basement posts

Garmin announced the Forerunner 15 last week. The Forerunner 15 GPS running watch has built in daily activity tracking, including counting steps and calories burned all day, similar to the VivoFit. It alerts users when they've been sitting too long. For runners, the GPS watch tracks distance, pace, calories, personal records, and heart rate. The watch is great for indoor and outdoor training, and works with the optional foot pod when you're on the treadmill.
GPS/Fitness Watch
There seem to be two different lines of thought when it comes to the hardware used to measure your run. The first is to use a GPS heart rate monitor watch; the second is to use a heart rate monitor strap with an app on your phone. So which one is better? What are the pro's and con's of each? Well, that's a good question.
Not sure if you've all seen this, but it is the MIO Alpha. The Alpha is a heart rate sports watch that doesn't use a separate heart rate monitor chest strap – the heart rate measurement is built into the watch. We are posting the announcement, and a brief description. The watch retails for $199.00, [Read More…]

Loud and proud [4:41 AM]
Kansas City Star reports: 'The Kansas City Star brought a hand-held sound-level meter to Sunday's contest. The opening kickoff sent the needle past 108 decibels at front-row level near one end zone, similar to the volume of a rock concert. Halfway up Section 116, cheers for the Chiefs' first touchdown � a 67-yard pass play to Dante Hall � reached 117 decibels with celebratory music piped in. Fireworks made the meter peak out: 126 decibels.'

I don't think of it as bickering. We're just like a couple of guys sitting in a living room or sitting in a bar, and��.'
Great eight [4:32 AM]
Topeka Capital Journal reports: 'Buffalo's best chance to make a game of it failed when Josh Reed fumbled at the Chiefs 32 on a hit by Mike Maslowski.

Drew Bledsoe Quotes [4:13 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"Very disappointed. Very frustrated. I anticipated us playing a better game then we did. The Chiefs are obviously an outstanding football team. We moved the ball at times offensively but we just didn't' finish our drives and we didn't put points on the board when we had to."'
Chiefs will find way to topple Bills [5:40 PM]
Independence Examiner reports: 'If the Chiefs had to travel to Buffalo to face Drew Bledsoe and the Bills, I wouldn't give them much of a chance to remain unbeaten.

Chiefs will see what they're made of as they reach for 8-0 [5:10 PM]
Kansas City Star reports: '"We realize we haven't put the fear of God into any of the teams that are evaluating us right now," Vermeil said. "If I was coaching against us, I would say, `Gee, if they hadn't returned the punt...' or `If they hadn't returned the kickoff...' or `If they hadn't returned the interception....' That's how you counter the positives if you're coaching against us."'
Bills hope to quiet Chiefs' fans [9:10 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"They have outstanding fans who show up with great intensity," said quarterback Drew Bledsoe. "It's all red and yellow when you go in there. They're very smart about when they cheer, when they make noise. Also the shape of that stadium, being a full bowl, I think it holds some of the noise in."'
Can you hear me now? It's time for the Bills to stow the talk [9:09 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'It's time for the Bills to let their deeds do the talking. They've looked like an average team for a month.

I just feel like telling Thor's currently short, but hopefully ultimately long, story here.
Thor was an impulse buy for me. I love dogs, and I had wanted a german shepherd for my entire life, and I finally had the time and money to get one. So, I found a puppy online, deemed him perfect, and got him all within 3 weeks. I am in college, and I put off all my homework going crazy doing research to prepare myself for him. I spent literally every waking hour researching what I needed to do for those weeks.
I still wasn't prepared. I went overboard, and sacrificed my life for him the first week I brought him home. He was clingy, needy, and having accidents all over the place. He cried endlessly in his crate. It was overwhelming and I thought I had taken on too much. I felt so stupid, and I had almost deemed it necessary to give up on him. It made me feel terrible and I was a complete wreck over it. Even though he overwhelmed me, I loved him so much. I had never felt so loved by an animal in my entire life.
After a lot of thinking, I decided that I needed to wait and give him a chance. And I am so, so glad that I did. Thor is now being a normal, crazy handful of a puppy and I wouldn't want it any other way. He is still extremely shy, but nothing some extensive socializing can't fix. He has no more accidents, and he listens to me very well.
But most of all, he completely brightened up my life. I was going through a lot of rough things, and I was just incapable of being happy. Nothing seemed to work, I had too much going on in my head. Thor erased all that. I go through each day knowing that I will come home to a happy puppy that will always be there for me no matter what. A dog that will always make me smile with his silly antics...and his endearing trait of following me everywhere. I already can't imagine my life without him, and it's only been a few weeks. It is amazing what having a dog can do. I am so glad I didn't give up on Thor, and I am so glad I got him.

EBT 820671/10 Eyewear
The term "visual aid" is unsuitable for EBT 820671. This is an accessory that ushers in a new you, emphasizing your clear view on fashion. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of EBT 820671in our 2015, and 2016 TITANflex range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. Rectangular models are particularly suitable for round and oval faces. The rectangular shape also builds a bridge to corners and edges from an image aspect. Frames made of titanium are particularly elegant. They lend the appearance a certain lightness, because they have up to 50% less weight than comparable eyewear made of other materials. They are also extremely stable, independent of the thickness of the frame. Black is one of the undisputed classics. It can be combined with any outfit and simultaneously radiates elegance and naturalness.
Moreover, we can also provide you with the correct prescription lenses at an incredibly low price. The only thing you need to provide us with are your current dioptre values determined by your ophthalmologist. Together with our digital dispensing optician, you can choose between reasonably priced brand lenses from Germany or premium brands such as Seiko, Hoya and Rodenstock. Edel-Optics' plastic lenses have many features such as anti-reflection coating, lotus effect, cleaning coating, antistatic and hard coating at no extra charge.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new TITANflex on the same day. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Wedding photos: if you had to do this...
My brother is getting married in Sept. and they're doing it all low-key. Getting married in his in-laws' back yard, family member officiating, no big shebang...
Anyway, they know I'm handy with a camera and they've asked me to take pictures at the ceremony (the only photographer!) and reception.
I'm already stressed out. I've got some good shots at other weddings, but never as the "official" photographer or anything. Both of them, and our families, appreciate good photography, so it's not like simple snapshots will be sufficient.
I have a D40x and 35-200/3.5 (IIRC, will correct later too lazy right now) and that's pretty much it. I have another zoom lens, but it's not as nice as the one I normally use.
What would you want to have to shoot a wedding outdoors? I'm thinking a real speedlight would be good incase it's overcast as opposed to the built-in, but I've never used one and would have to play with it a lot beforehand to figure out what I'm doing (of course that's assuming I can afford to swing one).
Just wanted to start thinking about things so maybe I can watch on CL locally for something if I need other equipment.... any help is appreciated.

The Air Self-Defense Force scrambled fighter jets Friday after a Russian patrol plane flew over the Sea of Japan, the Defense Ministry said.
There was no violation of Japanese airspace by the IL-20 patrol plane, it said.
The incident came ahead of a meeting between Japanese and Russian defense ministers in Tokyo on Friday afternoon. On Saturday, the two countries will hold the first-ever meeting of their foreign and defense ministers to discuss the promotion of bilateral defense cooperation.
"There was no problem as the plane flew over the high seas," said Masayoshi Tatsumi, a Defense Ministry spokesman, adding that the ministry will continue to make all-out efforts in warning and surveillance activities.
According to the ministry's Joint Staff Office, the Russian plane flew southwest over the Sea of Japan near the Oki Islands in Shimane Prefecture.
The plane turned back at a point near the island of Tsushima and flew home by the same route.

Thinking about taking them off and going to piaa ion bulbs to have the more clear look
2009 CC sport auto , black on black, %20 tint all around, euro switch, rear fog, DRL delete, Hoën fogs, Clear turn signals, LED plate lights, RCD-510 AE, 9W7 Bluetooth, LED strip lights in the trunk, lots of VAGCOM fiddling, APR Carbonio stage 1(for sale) , Magnaflow 3" cat back exhuast, 3 watt Cree LED interior lighting (from DDM Tunning)
Installed these today, no bulb-out warnings. The white DRLs are fairly bright, but it depends on the viewing angle. The amber turn-signal LEDs should be brighter though. I RTV siliconed the housing seams and the black plastic control box seams to make sure they are waterproof. I took the old bulb-holders and cut the bulb socket part off so I could solder wires so I could use the plug, so the new DRLs plug-in without any cutting or splicing of the factory wire harness. The plus 12V feed connects under an existing nut-connection on the front of the under-hood fuse/relay box. Now to disable the stock low-beam DRLs......
Last edited by CC'ed; 10-08-2012 at 09:01 AM.
All wiring can be done in the engine compartment, no wires need to be run through the firewall.
The underhood fuse/relay box is located to the right of the battery. Slide the two locking tabs to the unlock position, and pull the black plastic cover straight up. On the front of the box is a metal strip, with wires (and fuses) attached to with hex-nuts. This metal strip is hot +12V all the time (it is connected to the battery + terminal), so don't short to chassis ground with your wrench or ratchet.
The DRL +12V power wire (red with its own small in-line fuse) has a spade-lug on the end. Remove one of the hex-nuts and add the DRL spade-lug to the terminal, under the existing lug that was there, replace the nut and tighten.
These DRLs turn ON automatically when the engine is started, and turn-off when the engine is stopped. They do this by sensing the approx 1V rise of the battery voltage when the alternator is charging, and therefore do not need to be connected to a switched +12V source.

Excellent. Thanks for the info!
Hi - i am new to the site, actually first post. I bought these, removed the chrome and tapped into the wire for the existing dRL. No codes, no issues, looks pretty cool in my opinion. They turn on and off with the regular DRL's.

Finished the install. Everything's working now and I can finally check this one off the list. I'll do a bit of a write up in a separate thread so I don't end up clogging this one up with my pictures.
I hooked mine straight up to the battery like everyone has been saying but they don't shut off. Thinking about splicing into the ignition tomorrow or existing DRL's to get them to work but does anyone have any other suggestions? Something that doesn't require cutting into anything?

Is there anyone from Alberta on this forum?
Yep, you just gotta read some of the threads in this section.
05 S/C'd CTS-V here.... almost ready for some daylight, waiting for the city to do street sweeping and get rid of the winter gravel.
Another here. My wife and I have a 05 CTS and in fact today went to see our new 08 CTS that we factory ordered. It arrived 6 weeks to the day today. Also I need to give a plug th GSL in Calgary. They are awesome to deal with. :thumbsup:
I'm from Calgary. Bought the CTS and liked it so much I bought the V since my wife wouldn't let me drive "her" CTS! The V is at GSL for shifting problems. Looks like they are doing clutch/flywheel/slave on warranty. Another dealership that will remain nameless fought me every time I talked to them.
Just drove by GSL this morning. My car is still waiting for clutch etc. Noticed another V there: Black, tinted windows with aftermarket chrome wheels. Anyone from here?
hello, I am from Calgary. I drive a white 03 Cts with dual pipe upgrade and 20 bose rims, just ordered a nice set of Geovoni black 20" rims. i will post a picture when I am get them. Need a new front bumper and front windshield. damn winter sandblastered my car. Also lost the rear reverse licence plate lens. Any one have a paint match white or black they done need any more?
Nice to hear good things about GSL, I am seriously considering them for my upcomming work. Blew the diff in my cts-V. Not that I'm trying to be a cheapskate but my only issue (same at other dealers) is the price for the part.... $3883. Exact same part can be had in the states for $1325. If I end up getting the parts stateside I'll take the savings and get GSL to install some things that have been waiting all fall/winter. Headers/Exhaust/Reflashed PCM/SS brake lines.
Yes, that was the car. He is from Red Deer and is on these forums as Kevybear.
I haven't seen a post from him for a while though.
If you are talking to GSL ask for Denise, she treated me well as I've already mentioned. I also told her about Lindsay/Luke.

How is the maggie?? Haven't seen you post for a long time. You Edmonton guys

Maggie is doing good. I took it in for a tune, and it turns out the Maggie tune is pretty good, though they locked it in, and i'm hoping they'll release it to the tuner so he can do a bit more fine tuning on it.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: A disease of maize (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) with virus- like symptoms has been widespread in the High Plains of the central and western USA. The high plains pathogen (HPP) and wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) often are found together in the same plant. Both HPP and WSMV are transmitted by Aceria tosichella, but no pure culture of HPP has yet been continuously maintained by mite transmission. Mixed infections of WSMV and HPP in field grown and inoculated plants have confounded research efforts to determine the etiology and pathogenic effects of the disease. Vascular puncture inoculation (VPI) of seeds successfully transmitted maize viruses that were previously obligately transmitted by vectors. Recently we reported the transmission of HPP by VPI. The objective of this study was to improve the transmission rates of HPP with VPI and to isolate and maintain a pure culture of HPP. The isolate was confirmed as HPP by positive reactions in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blot with antiserum to HPP and sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) protein analysis for HPP. The absence of WSMV was confirmed by an absence of symptoms in rub- noculated maize (Oh28), wheat (var. Monon), and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor var. Atlas) and a negative reaction in ELISA and Western blot. High rates of transmission (90-100%) were achieved from extracts of infected, physiologically young tissues (ca 21 days after inoculation), from the supernatant or pellet of low and high speed differential centrifugation. Lower rates of transmission (ca 75%) were obtained from the pellets after CsSO4 equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation. A culture of HPP has been maintained free of WSMV contamination in over 25 serial transfers.

How do you feel about your team's chances going into the game against the Giants?
They are a tough football team right now, hungry, it is a division game and last year they beat us twice. It is definitely going to be a challenge this weekend. From my perspective, I think they are going to come in here and play their heart out and give us their best shot.
When you look at the Giants defense what are you seeing?
From week to week things can change and things can happen differently. I know last season we started out 0-2 and then all of a sudden things just began to change for a little while. Week to week things change and we understand that they are a dangerous team right now because of that and you don't know what to expect from them on Sunday. We just have to come out and play our game and do things that we do best because we know that we are going to get their best shot. They have a strong leader, Antonio Pierce, in the middle playing middle linebacker. We know that he is going to get the guys around him to rally around him and step up and make plays.
Given that the Giants have had trouble containing tight ends over the first two weeks, how does that affect your connection with Chris Cooley?
Cooley is a great receiver for us, definitely, most definitely, but at the same time when you are dropping back as a quarterback the one thing you don't want to do is get held up and try to throw the ball to certain guys based on what their defense has done the week before or two weeks before. The one thing you have to do as a quarterback is to drop back, read coverages, and throw the ball to the open guy; the guy that is getting open for you. It is not a thing where you go into a game and feel like you have to give the ball to a certain guy because of things that have happened in the past. When I approach a game I take everything one play at a time. Whatever the defense gives you is what you take.
What are you seeing from the Giants' defensive front?
I have all the respect in the world for Strahan and those guys. Strahan is a guy who has been in the league for a long time. I think right now it is just a tough situation that they are in at this point. Like I said, the NFL is a long season, things can turn in a minute and things can change in a minute. Right now we are sitting 2-0 but we hadn't been getting any attention before that and right now with the attention that we are getting, we aren't trying to listen to all of it or take it as our perspective. We understand that we are still a football team and try to get better ourselves and continue to work on the things that we need to work on.
Are you guys more of a running team this year?
We are closer to being balanced. The two backs that we have kind of lean more towards the run because of the guys that we have and the guys that we have up front doing the blocking, but at the same time we also throw the ball quite a bit. At the same time you just have to continue to stay focused and whatever plays the coach calls we try to go out there and run it to the fullest. We probably have leaned more to the run in the last two games.
You had a good second half in the last game of the season in 2006 against the Giants. How much did that help you going into the off-season?
It helped me out a lot. To have the opportunity to play those last seven games last season was huge because it gave me the opportunity to see what the NFL and the speed was like. It is totally different watching it on the sidelines than actually performing on the field. When you are able to be in there the one thing you can't teach at the NFL level is experience, so to have the opportunity to get out there and get some experience and being able to play in those division games was huge because that is one thing you don't learn on the sidelines or taking notes. To have the opportunity to play the Giants last year and the Eagles, playing against all the division opponents, really gave me an opportunity to see what I need to improve on in the off-season to help get me over the edge and help my team.
Do you think the time you sat and watched before you played helped your development?
Yes, I would say so. You come in as a rookie quarterback and there are a lot of things going on in your head; the most important thing is trying to build chemistry with your teammates. You are trying to get situated with the community, you are trying to find a home, then you are trying to find furniture, and a lot of those things you are trying to do at the same time. My rookie year having the opportunity to sit and watch Mark (Brunell) perform helped me out a lot. Of course, I wanted to play because of the competitive nature on the inside of me. Coming off of an undefeated season at Auburn, any competitor always wants to play, but at the same time I understood my situation and the best thing for me, because I was trying to find a home and get situated. Once I was named the starter those were things I didn't have to worry about because they were already taken care of. All the things off the field and all the things of getting along with teammates, getting to know everyone, I already knew everyone so I was able to just focus on playing football.
Are you happy with your furniture selection?
Yeah I am pretty happy. It is just like anything else. Everything gets old after a while and you want to change up.
Why did you guys seem to tone down your expectations coming into this year?
We did it because we felt like last season after coming off the playoff season before outsiders said we probably just didn't work as hard as we did the year before. They probably thought we could just show up and win games and that wasn't the case. My last year we lost at least five games by three points or less and we just wanted to say, 'what is it that we need to do to win those games, turn those losses into wins this season?' Ever since then we just have more chemistry as a team this year. There is just more chemistry right now as a whole unit, as a whole team, and we just feel like we have a better mind about ourselves. We feel like we just want to change everything, 5-11 didn't sit well with anyone last year, we all felt bad about it. Coach Gibbs, with his legacy that he has, we definitely didn't want him to have a legacy of having a 5-11 team so that really didn't sit well with any of the guys this season and it made us come back as a stronger team. To be honest with you, I think the one thing that it did for us last year was to humble us as a team.
Do you guys know what to expect this year after starting 2-0 and still having some question marks?
We are 2-0 but at the same time we are just like any other team. We are improving week to week. The more that we play together the better that we become. I feel we continue to grow in a lot of areas: offensively, defensively, and special teams, but there are still a lot of plays that we can still hit and get better at. That is the whole object of the game, the one thing that you want to do is grow from week to week and get better, and you don't want to sit back. We are headed in the right direction right now, we are doing all the things that we need to be doing, but like any other team we still have a lot of things we need to do to improve.
What kind of a guy is Chris Cooley?
Chris Cooley is an outstanding guy. He is a very competitive guy. He comes to practice every day; he probably is one of the hardest players on the team. He doesn't take reps off in practice. He will go the whole practice without probably sitting out a play. He is one of those guys that comes to work with the mentality everyday to get better and he understands that the more that he runs a route or the more that he catches balls, the better opportunity that he has to be successful. The more he is running a route you can get a feel for it. He definitely is an outstanding guy to come to work with every day and is an outstanding team player. He is very unselfish when he is out there on the field. When we played Miami he caught one pass and he said, 'don't even worry about it,' as long as we win the game that is all that matters to him is getting a W. He said his catches would come later on. Any time you have an unselfish player, a team player, like that, it goes a long ways.
He is not the kind of guy that is going to be waving at you downfield and getting frustrated if the ball doesn't come his way?
No, he won't get frustrated he will just come back to the huddle and be like, 'Jay be alert. Next time we run this play or get this certain kind of coverage just be alert that I might have an opportunity to be open.' It is nothing like anything where he throws his hands up or he cusses at me. Sometimes a quarterback is going to make throws and a receiver is not going to be where they are supposed to be and they drop passes, sometimes they are going to be where they are supposed to be and the ball doesn't get to them like it should. That is all part of the game but you don't get frustrated at each other, you just keep a level head about it and just move on.

Nov. 29, 2009
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - Eric Berry of Tennessee has been named a finalist for the sixth annual Lott Trophy, it was announced Saturday by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation.
Berry is a junior safety from Fairburn, Ga., who was the SEC Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore and is widely considered the best defensive back in the country. He was twice selected the Lott Player of the Week this season.
The annual Lott Trophy Banquet will be held Dec. 13 at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach, Calif., where the winner will be announced. The banquet will be televised live by Fox Sports West.
The other three finalists are Ndaumkong Suh of Nebraska, Rolando McClain of Alabama and Jerry Hughes of TCU. All four finalists will be in attendance at the banquet where the keynote speaker will be Peter Ueberroth.

Sponsored by The Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation in Newport Beach, the award is given to the player who exhibits the same characteristics Lott embodied during his distinguished career: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.
Said former UCLA head coach Terry Donahue, a member of the Board of Directors of the IMPACT Foundation: "Berry is one of the most dominant players in the country. There is no better safety in college football today."
It is the first time Tennessee, TCU and Nebraska have had a finalist for the Lott Trophy. Alabama's DeMeco Ryans won the award in 2005.
Past winners of The Lott Trophy
2004 - David Pollack, Georgia
2005 - DeMeco Ryans, Alabama
2006 - Dante Hughes, California
2007 - Glenn Dorsey, LSU
2008 - James Laurinaitis, Ohio State
In five years, the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation has donated more than $650,000 to various charities, including $25,000 to each of the winners' universities.
Voters for the award include selected members of the national media, previous finalists, the Board of Directors of the IMPACT Foundation, the IMPACT Foundation Board of Advisors comprised of retired NFL players and the Legends Coaches, a distinguished group of former college head coaches.

|Adding node to Cassandra
|Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:23:13 GMT
*We have cassandra 4 nodes cluster* with RF = 3 (nodes named from 'A' to 'D', initial tokens: *A (25%)*: 20543402371996174596346065790779111550, * B (25%)*: 63454860067234500516210522518260948578, *C (25%)*: 106715317233367107622067286720208938865, *D (25%)*: 150141183460469231731687303715884105728), *and want to add 5th node* ('E') with initial token = 164163260474281062972548100673162157075, then we want to rebalance A, D, E nodes such way they'll own equal percentage of data. All nodes have ~400 GB of data and around ~300GB disk free space. What we did: 1. 'Join' new cassandra instance (node 'E') to cluster and wait 'till it loads data for it tokens range. 2. Move node 'D' initial token down from 150... to 130... Here we ran into a problem. When "move" started disk usage for node C grows from 400 to 750GB, we saw running compactions on node 'D' but some compactions failed with /"WARN [CompactionExecutor:580] 2012-03-11 16:57:56,036 CompactionTask.java (line 87) insufficient space to compact all requested files SSTableReader"/ after that we killed "move" process to avoid "out of disk space" error (when 5GB of free space left). After restart it frees 100GB of space and now we have total of 105GB free disk space on node 'D'. Also we noticed increased disk usage by ~150GB at node 'B' but it stops growing before we stopped "move token". So now we have 5 nodes in cluster in status like this: Node, Owns%, Load, Init. token A: 16% 400GB 020... B: 25% 520GB 063... C: 25% 400GB 106... D: 25% 640GB 150... E: 9% 300GB 164... We'll add disk space for all nodes and run some cleanups, but there's still left some questions: What is the best next step for us from this point? What is correct procedure after all and what should we expect when adding node to cassandra cluster? We expected decrease of used disk space on node 'D' 'cause we shrink token range for this node, but saw the opposite, why it happened and is it normal behavior? What if we'll have 2TB of data on 2.5TB disk and we wanted to add another node and move tokens? Is it possible to automate node addition to cluster and be sure we won't run out of space? Thank.

If you follow this blog regularly, you probably saw my OPI Skyfall collection sneak peak post a couple of weeks ago. As promised, I am back to NOTD all of the polishes, and which better one to start with than Skyfall itself? Skyfall is a deep red cream with a brown undertone to it... definitely very Bond girl-esque. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of brown toned reds in general, so this isn't going to be a favorite for me. That being said, it is a beautiful color and a nice change for the coming season!
natural light, 2 coats
This polish is very opaque and the formulation is smooth. It is one of those colors that you have to be really careful with because if you make any mistakes, it shows.
What do you think of brown toned reds? Yay or nay?
xx, Allison

Green Bay Set for Final Regular Season Road Trip
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Looking to secure a spot in next weekend's Horizon League Tournament, the Green Bay volleyball team (14-12, 5-7 HL) wraps up its 2012 regular season this weekend with a pair of conference road matches. The Phoenix first takes on Wright State (2-28, 0-12 HL) on Friday at 6 p.m. CT, and then heads to Valparaiso (18-11, 8-4 HL) for the season finale on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT.
Green Bay, which has won five of its last eight contests, can assure itself a spot in the 2012 Horizon League Tournament (Nov. 16-18) by winning one of its final two matches.
Fans can follow both matches this weekend with live stats and free live video via the Horizon League Network. Links can be found on the volleyball schedule page on GreenBayPhoenix.com. The official Green Bay volleyball Twitter (@GBPhoenixVB) and Facebook (Green Bay Phoenix Volleyball) accounts will also be posting updates throughout the weekend.
Wright State enters Friday's contest at the bottom of the Horizon League (0-12) with an overall record of 2-28. The Raiders have lost 13 straight matches, with their last victory coming on Sept. 18 at their home C.J. McLin Gymnasium. The Phoenix defeated the Raiders 3-0 in the first meeting between the two schools on Oct. 13 at the Kress Center, a match in which senior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) tied the school record for solo blocks in a career (97). WSU is led by Heidi Splinter, who is fifth in the Horizon League in kills per set, averaging 3.33.
The Crusaders, winners of five of their last six matches, enter the weekend ranked third in the league standings (18-11, 8-4 HL). Valparaiso swept the Phoenix 3-0 in the first meeting this season at the Kress Center on Oct. 12. Valpo finished with a 51-31 advantage in kills in that contest, and Taylor Root registered 34 digs - the most in a three-set match by a Horizon League player this season. Root leads the conference with 659 digs, while Ellen Vanden Berg ranks in the league's top-10 in blocks per set (fourth, 1.11) and hitting percentage (sixth, .286).
Green Bay went 1-1 in its final homestand of the regular season last weekend, defeating Loyola 3-0 on Friday before falling 3-1 to UIC on Saturday. The Phoenix dominated the Ramblers on the defensive end Friday, holding the opposition to a .071 hitting percentage and finishing with a 13-4 advantage in blocks. The Phoenix carried over its momentum to the first set on Saturday, rolling over the Flames 25-12, but ended up dropping the next three sets in the loss. Green Bay's three seniors were honored on Saturday for Senior Day following their final home match.
Green Bay senior libero Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) needs just three more digs to break Megan Elfering's school record of 1,789 from 2005-08. Despite recording just six digs as a freshman in 2009, Groth currently has 1,787 digs, averaging an impressive 5.46 digs per set for her career. Groth is also within striking distance of her own school record of 659 digs in a season (2011), as she has 616 in 2012. The senior enters the final weekend of the regular season leading the Horizon League with 6.16 digs per set, a figure that also ranks fourth among all NCAA Division I players.
Led by Groth (6.16), the Phoenix ranks first in the Horizon League and fifth in the NCAA in digs per set (18.48) ... Groth also ranks in the league's top-10 in service aces, averaging 0.24 per set ... Green Bay leads the Horizon League in blocks per set (2.35), paced by Katie Mroczenski's 1.18 average (second) ... Leitermann has pushed her school-record solo blocks total to 100 for her career. The senior topped Marie Kaland's record of 97 from 1992-95 ... Leitermann ranks fourth in the Horizon League in hitting percentage (.289), seventh in blocks per set (0.93) and 10th in kills per set (2.76) ... Leah Poel and Lyndsay Zabkowicz also rank in the league's top-10 in a statistical category, as Poel is third with 10.18 assists per set and Zabkowicz is eighth with 3.01 kills per set.
Green Bay head coach Debbie Kirch joins host Ryan Hartwig in studio to recap the team's final homestand of 2012 and preview this weekend's contests at Wright State and Valpo.

Okay, so mom and dad got this pool for us all thinking we'd all play in it. Well..we all HATE water except for Karma. Karma is so terribly annoying too! BOL! She kept running in and out of the pool and then ran and attacked me! What a little brat! She kept running and jumping on me, and then fighting me for toys! So you know what I did? I took Mr. Blue from her! Yup...you read right...I took Mr. Blue! She wasn't too happy...we played Tug-Of-War with Mr. Blue and of course, I won....Karma lost. HA HA HA! So...she got mad and ran outside and layed by the pool. I was VERY happy then!
I am so glad Spring is here. I can sunbathe outside again! WHOHOOO that is one of my favorite things to do. In the winter it's a little too cold to do that.
This week is supposed to be really nice, so if anybody wants to find me, just come to my house and look in the backyard....I'll probably be there fast asleep in the sun.
Mommy and daddy said I have to go and get a BIG needle on Feb. 11. I don't like needles at all! They said I am overdue for some shot called rabies. I don't know what that is, but they said I need to go and get it. I hope it won't be that bad!

Ed Thompson: Are they teaching you anything interesting about running the 40-yard dash that you didn't think about before?
Derrick Williams: Mainly, the more relaxed you are, the faster you're going to run. You want to work on your start. And the more you run the 40, the better you're going to get at it because your body's going to get used to it. We've been doing all of those things and working on the shuttle, the vertical jump, most of the things you need to work on for the Combine.
Thompson: Are they preparing you for the gauntlet drill as well where you run the width of the field and quarterbacks throw to you from opposite sides?
Williams: Yeah, we watched the DVDs on the past players who have been to the Combine. The person you workout with tries to imitate that the best they can. We've practiced the gauntlet and drills like that, so it won't be new when we get to the Combine.
Thompson: During that drill, you also have to hope that the quarterbacks throw you some decent passes.
Williams: Yes, you definitely do. But you still have to look the ball in and run on a straight line.
Thompson: As a team captain you were highly respected at Penn State. Are there any moments that really stick out in your mind where you helped lift the team or a specific player?
Williams: This whole season stood out to me, especially after all the things that were being written before the season, some of the negative press we were receiving, and then how we ended the season with winning the Big Ten and going to the Rose Bowl and accomplishing a lot of our goals. We were one play, one second from going to the National Championship this year with an undefeated record, so there were so many things we accomplished that I was happy with as a captain.

Thompson: Pick one or two plays that immediately pop into your mind as a highlight moment from your career at Penn State.
Williams: I can always say a touchdown catch or a kick return or punt return I scored on, but just being out there and playing with the team is what really stays with me. I can remember some key blocks I had when Tony Hunt was running the ball, my first crack-back block in college, the big catch I had when we played Northwestern my freshman year that really turned that season around, our success and winning the Big Ten. There are a lot of plays that I can think of, but some of the plays I really liked are the ones I watched in the film room and I had a crack-back that people weren't expecting.
Thompson: What kinds of questions were you asked by teams at the Senior Bowl, and how did you answer them?
Williams: They asked if I've graduated, and I graduated in the spring of last year. My major was recreation, park and tourism management. They asked about the system at the school you attended, and we were mainly three-wide. Something that was different about our offense is our receivers never ran themselves to get open. If you weren't open the play design would make someone else to be open, so you just had to play within the system as a receiver. They asked me where can I improve. Joe Paterno always told me I try to do too much, I try to make too many plays and sometimes I need to settle for the four- yard play, to catch the ball and try to get ten yards out of it instead of trying to do too much. My response to Joe was always if I'm going to touch the ball five times, I need to make one of them count, I need to make one of them a score. That's something that I need improve on. And of course, they ask you if you've been in any trouble, and you know when they ask you that, they already know. I've never been in trouble, never failed any blood test, never was arrested, never did any of those things.
Thompson: Tell us a bit about your family background.
Williams: I'm from Washington D.C. and I lived with my mother and my father and my grandad. My father was the Assistant A.D. at the University of Maryland, but he is now with the financing department in the Department of Energy. My mother works in the Human Resources Department at the University of Maryland. I have an older brother, Dominic, who played football for Mack Brown at North Carolina. Right now he's a police officer in Baltimore. My family's very supportive, we're church-going, and since I was a little kid they've been to every game except when my brother and I had games at the same time.
Thompson: What do you do for fun when you're not playing football?
Williams: Go to the mall. I'm big on movies and video games, and I like to talk on the phone.
Thompson: Do you just like to stroll around the mall or are you a shopper?
Williams: I'm a shopper. If there was something that I was addicted to, it might be shopping. I might have to go to counseling and say, 'I'm Derrick Williams and I have a shopping problem.' (laughs)
Thompson: What do you like to shop for the most?
Williams: Jeans, jackets, video games, movies.
Thompson: What's the best movie you saw most recently?
Williams: I'm still big on The Dark Knight right now. I saw Wanted and loved it. One thing I don't watch is scary movies, I don't do the scary movie thing. I don't see the joy in paying money to get scared when I can make myself scared for free. (laughs)
Thompson: How about your favorite video game?
Williams: Madden. I play Madden, College Football, 007, different things like that. One of my best friends I play Madden with is Derrick Harvey, the defensive end from Jacksonville. We went to high school together.
