This month, we are hosting Super-Angel David Lee, Founder and Managing Partner of SV Angel. SV Angel is considered, by many, the top Seed Fund in the world, having invested early in every runaway success story you can imagine (Snapchat, Dropbox, Twitter, Pinterest, Square, Airbnb, just to name a few). David and his mentor/partner-in-crime, Ron Conway, are so revered in Silicon Valley, that in the words of another top investor, Jeff Clavier from SoftTech Ventures, "the saying is that there is always room for David and Ron [in any deal], because what they can pull off, in terms of their network, is unbelievable.". And, Sarah Lacy, one of the top tech writers today, calls David and Ron "the Godfathers of the Silicon Valley seed investing scene."
So what's David Lee's connection to SoCal? Well, earlier this year, David moved with his family to LA. Sarah Lacy broke the news on her tech blog, PandoDaily.
So, David is now our neighbor, although he does commute almost every week to the SF Bay Area.

The Christmas decorations and gingerbread house really bring home the magic of the season and the child inside each of us.
Clearwater, Florida (PRWEB) December 04, 2012
Clearwater, Florida, boasts one of Pinellas County's largest gingerbread houses, now open for viewing at the historic Fort Harrison. A month in the making, the gingerbread house is a scale replica of the fully restored 1926 iconic hotel, now the Fort Harrison religious retreat, from the 10th floor terrace to the front portico.
Standing four-feet tall in the lobby of the Fort Harrison Auditorium, the house comprises 185 pounds of gingerbread, 95 pounds of frosting, more than 2,000 pieces of candy, and 1,652 individual gingerbread-cookie shingles that cap the roof. An electric train circles the winter landscape setting.
Directly opposite the gingerbread house is an 11-foot gingerbread fireplace made of more than 170 pounds of gingerbread and 131 pounds of frosting.
"It took a lot of planning, muscle and some construction work," said Fort Harrison Executive Chef Zoltan Vajna, "but it was so much fun to create it."
Scientologists from around the world visit the Fort Harrison for the holidays and the gingerbread house, 20-foot Christmas tree, and magnificent Christmas ornaments throughout the hotel make them feel at home.
The gingerbread house will be the centerpiece of the annual Fort Harrison Holiday Brunch on December 9. More than 600 neighbors and friends are expected to attend.
"The Christmas decorations and gingerbread house really bring home the magic of the season and the child inside each of us," said Pat Harney, spokesperson for the Church in Clearwater.
To see the gingerbread house and other Christmas decorations, call (727) 467- 6860.
The Fort Harrison is the center of the international Church of Scientology religious retreat. Scientology is an applied religious philosophy developed by L. Ron Hubbard, which offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one's true spiritual nature. To find out more about Scientology, visit http://www.scientology.org.

Million Dollar Baby
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I'd give Million Dollar Baby two thumbs up, but Ed Gein cut off both my thumbs!"
"I didn't like it as much as Brokeback Mountain."
Million Dollar Baby is a movie about one period in the life of Ed Gein, and his attempts to stop a dangerous thief. It stars Bruce Willis as Gein, and Burt Reynolds as his boxing trainer, Tupac Shakur. It is the all-time best selling movie of all time, grossing more money than actually exists within it's first showing. It has won several awards, including 724 Junior Oscars at the Kids' Choice Awards.
edit Plot
The plot of Million Dollar Baby is based on a real event in life of Ed Gein, when he was just beginning to become a crime fighter. In the beginning of the film, a burglar breaks into a museum and steals a solid gold baby, worth approxiamately $1 million, hence the title. The police are unable to catch the criminal, so Gein decides to take matters into his own hands. He gets into a fight with thief, but loses his knife and has to use his hands to fight. The thief, having fists of fury, beats the living crap out of Ed Gein. Gein then lies in a coma for about 3 years, until rapper Tupac Shakur comes along and finds him. Shakur convinces Gein to train in the ways of boxing, and after 32 montages, Gein's training is finished. He leaves out notices for a challenge to the thief in a boxing match, and the winner gets the million dollar baby. The thief accepts the challenge and shows up at the match, but Gein, even with his newly developed own fists of fury, is unable to beat the thief. Just when all hope seems lost, Tupac shows up with his gang and fills the thief full of lead.
Taking off his mask, Ed Gein discovers that the thief was none other than Muhammad Ali, who stole the baby in order to support the Nation of Islam, which was doing quite bad since Malcolm X-Treme left. Gein cuts off Ali's hands and surgically attachs them to his own to gain his punching might. Tupac is given the golden baby as a piece of bling, and everyone is happy. After the movie ends, you see Gein punching Muhammad Ali and Ali breaking his neck on a chair.

By Ben Mutzabaugh, USA TODAY
Sarah Palin's name may still be in the political spotlight, but it's about to be removed from the JetBlue-owned aircraft that shuttled her across the USA during her bid for the vice presidency.
The jet used by Palin during the campaign will make its last flight today with the McCain-Palin campaign logo still on the plane. The jet – an Embraer E190 leased out on a charter basis to the campaign by JetBlue – flew the Palins home to Alaska on Wednesday.
Today, after the jet's crew gets its required rest, the plane will fly from Anchorage to Buffalo before continuing on to New York JFK, JetBlue's home base.
TODAY IN THE SKY:What will Obama's election mean to U.S. airlines?
The return journey from Alaska to New York will mark the last of over 100 flights the re-branded jet operated under the charter contract with the McCain-Palin campaign, JetBlue spokesman Sebastian White says.
The jet made stops in 29 states while flying for McCain-Palin, according to information provided by the carrier.
White says the fuselage will be stripped of the McCain-Palin logo once it returns to JFK.
He adds that "for the time being we'll use it as a spare/backup aircraft. On Nov. 12 it will go to our Embraer paint shop in Nashville to be fully repainted with JetBlue livery. The jet returns to revenue service mid-November once repainted."
The jet was delivered to the McCain-Palin campaign on Sept. 4, shortly after the Alaska governor was named as presidential candidate John McCain's running mate.
The E190, which typically holds 100 passengers for JetBlue, was reconfigured for the McCain-Palin campaign to include a divider curtain to separate the press area.
The E190's return flight could also prove noteworthy for more than just its part in a historic presidential race. White says the Anchorage to Buffalo segment is scheduled to go nonstop, provided that winds remain favorable. If so, JetBlue believes this would mark the longest nonstop flight ever for the E190.
"It would never be possible with customers onboard," White adds, noting that the lighter load should increase the range of the plane.

text: Hi all, We actually use Torque 1.2.0p5 / Maui 3.2.6p14(snap) on our Linux cluster. All nodes have the same opteron based architecture. The Linux distribution used on all nodes is Mandriva LE 2005. The problem is that the CPU time used by batch jobs is not well reported (always zero) : cput=00:00:00,mem=4256kb,vmem=24428kb,walltime=00:01:01 But it's not only a reporting problem, my cputime based policies do not work For example, I set "RESOURCELIMITPOLICY PROC:ALWAYS:CANCEL" in my Maui configuration, but any job asking for 10 cpu minutes are able to use several cpu hours without being cancelled. Does anyone have experienced this problem with the resources_used.cput ? Regards. -- Mathieu OUDART

Struggling with his feelings for the now-married Jenna, Ryan had been avoiding her for awhile now on " Wilfred ." This week saw Jenna's return to the show, and she brought with her a growing fear. The neighborhood had seen a rash of break-ins, and Jenna was feeling really vulnerable. Ryan, so consumed with his own feelings, failed to be there for her as a friend. When the two finally came together -- after Wilfred's usual insane-and-over-the-top methods helped Ryan realize how he was letting her down -- it culminated in a rather unexpected moment. Reacting from Ryan's words of encouragement, Jenna suddenly leaned in and kissed him. Ryan, of course, kissed her back.

Andrew McIntosh, the government MP who quit the ministry because he leaked sensitive information to the media, has been appointed to two parliamentary committees that oversee integrity issues.
The appointment of Mr McIntosh to the accountability and oversight committee and the new committee to oversee the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission has infuriated the Opposition.
Mr McIntosh, who oversaw the establishment of IBAC, sensationally quit the frontbench in April after admitting to Parliament that he had briefed a journalist on the deliberations of the highly confidential privileges committee investigation into independent MP Geoff Shaw's misuse of his parliamentary car.
He admitted his position was untenable and that he failed the Parliament with his lack of discretion.
At the time Premier Denis Napthine said Mr McIntosh had made "a significant error of judgment".
"This is an inappropriate appointment given that Mr McIntosh was forced to resign as a minister because of a breach of integrity," shadow anti-corruption minister Jill Hennessy said.
"These committees [work] to oversee sensitive operations. Mr McIntosh has demonstrated a lack of respect for confidentiality. It is also difficult to accept Mr McIntosh will provide critical scrutiny of a body he in fact set up."
The news comes as the Coalition government has been accused of wasting taxpayers' money by ignoring expensive advice on how the controversial IBAC should be set up.
In 2011 the government asked a panel of four experts, headed by former Court of Appeal judge Stephen Charles, QC, to consult lawyers, judges, academics, police, the journalists' union and public service representatives about the powers and scope of the anti-corruption watchdog.
In March, Fairfax Media reported that the Coalition government had suppressed the report advising the Coalition on IBAC's most controversial aspects, with the government saying the report would never be made public, citing cabinet confidentiality.
The cost of the expert panel has now been revealed to be $443,680, after Mr McIntosh responded to an opposition question-on-notice.
The answer also said that the report was first handed to the minister on August 12, 2011.
Ms Hennessy said the government had served up a dog's breakfast instead of an anti-corruption regime.
"Most anti-corruption experts have poured scorn on the government's self-serving model. We can only conclude the government have kept the report secret because they have ignored the panel's recommendations," Ms Hennessy said.
"Openness and accountability are crucial in preventing corruption. The government can't even show integrity when establishing their own integrity regime."
Mr Napthine said the appointment had been made by the Parliament and ''without dissent''.

(#77 & #78)
The Board of County Commissioners met at 3:00 p.m. with Al Kadera, Principal Planner. Chair Gibson presided, and Commissioners Wagner and Rennels were present. Also present were: Sean Wheeler, Casey Stewart, and Chad Gray, Planning Department; Matt Johnson, Engineering Department; Doug Ryan, Environmental Health Department; and Kristen Romary, Deputy Clerk.
Chair Gibson opened the meeting with the Pledge of Allegiance, and asked for public comment on the County Budget and the Land Use Code. No one from the audience addressed the Board regarding these topics. Chair Gibson explained that Items 1 through 3 were on consent and would not be discussed unless requested by the Board, staff, or members of the audience:
1. GLACIER VIEW MEADOWS 12TH FILING LOTS 110 AND 111 LOT CONSOLIDATION - #06-S2577: This is a request for a lot consolidation to combine two contiguous lots into one lot in the Glacier View Meadows 12th Filing PUD. If approved, the recording instrument will be a Finding and Resolution from the Board of County Commissioners.
There have been no objections to this proposal by surrounding neighbors. Additionally, the following Larimer County agencies have stated that they have no objections to this proposal: The Larimer County Department of Health and Environment; and The Larimer County Engineering Department Development Review Team. The proposed Lot Consolidation for Lots 110 and 111 Glacier View Meadows 12th Filing PUD will not adversely affect any neighboring properties or any County agency. The Lot Consolidation will not result in any additional lots. The staff finds that the request meets the requirements of the Larimer County Land Use Code.
The Development Services Team recommends approval of the Lot Consolidation for Lots 110 and 111 Glacier View Meadows 12th Filing PUD, subject to the following conditions:
2. PLANK PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNED LAND DIVISION - #06-S2484: This is a request to rezone the subject property from FA-1 (Farming) to PD (Planned Development); and to make a Preliminary Plat for the Plank Planned Land Division (PLD) to create a development comprised of 45 single family residential lots on the 18.55 acre property situated at the southeast corner of Kechter and Ziegler Road. The development will also contain 3 common area lots for open space and drainage; these common areas consist of 2.7 acres.
As proposed, the development is a single family residential development that will consist of 45 single family residential lots and 3 outlots. Two of the 45 residential lots proposed will contain the 2 existing residences on the property. Both of these residential units are currently on septic systems, but the western most will be connected to the sewer system with this application, and the other will connect to the sewer system in the future, when the existing septic system fails.
An overview of the site reveals a square shaped property that has frontage on Kechter Road and Ziegler Road, for which primary access is being taken from both. Surrounding the property to the west, east and south are existing residential developments, currently within the Fort Collins city limits. Also near the development site, within ¼ mile, there is a High School (North), a Junior High School (South) and an Elementary School (East).
The property, which has terrain that slopes from northwest to southeast, has been used for agricultural purposes in the past. On the site there are two existing residences, which residential units will remain on the property and be integrated into the development (Lots 44 and 45).
The proposed application has taken into consideration all existing roadway connections from adjacent developments, by connecting to them and carrying them through the development site.
During the review process of the Plank PD and PLD, the Development Services Team received several calls concerning the impact of this development on the school population. However, this application was sent to the Poudre School District and no response was received indicating that over-crowding of the schools was a concern. Aside from some minor technical roadway and drainage issues there are no other identified issues or concerns with the Plank PD and PLD development application.
The proposed Plank PD and PLD are in conjunction with the recommendation of the Development Services Team, and will meet the intent of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. Additionally, it is consistent with the standards and requirements of the Larimer County Land Use Code and Supplemental Regulations for this type of development.
The Development Services Team recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the rezoning request subject to the following conditions:
The Development Services Team recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Preliminary Plat for the Plank Planned Land Division, File #05-S2484, subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval of the rezoning from FA-1 (Farming) to PD (Planned Development) subject to the following condition:
a. The rezoning shall be effective upon the recordation of the final plat of Plank Planned Land Division.
2. The zoning designation for the Plank PD and PLD shall be PD (Planned Development, which zoning classification will be subject to the development standards and requirements of Subsection I.f. (Mixed Use Neighborhood Area Regulations) of the Larimer County Development Standards for the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area in the Fort Collins Growth Management Area for in the Supplemental Regulations to the Larimer County Land Use Code Section 8.9.2.A.1, or as amended.
3. PEMBERTON MINOR LAND DIVISION - #06-S2575: This is a request to approve a Minor Land Division to subdivide 13.89 acres with two existing residential uses into separate and legal lots. The residential uses exist at the site and were issued permits for construction by the County. Approval of the Minor Land Division would create separate, legal lots around each home. One of the structures existed prior to the Countys building permit process, and has since been modified to include the needed permits. The other structure was built with permits, and the record is unclear as to why a second residential use was allowed on a lot with an existing residential use. Based on representations made to staff, it appears that because more than one Assessors parcel number exists on the site, the current and previous owners assumed that each parcel number represented a legal lot. At the time of the building permit, the applicant may have assumed that the second parcel was vacant and eligible for a building permit. The project description further indicates that the second parcel existed by deed on May 16, 1972, but the deed was not recorded until 1976. These dates follow the May 5, 1972 date when the state adopted legislation that helped define the legal lot process used today. However, County policy in that year was to recognize lots created for several months after that time. Regardless of how the second home came into being, approval of this request would result in lots that are 2.37 and 11.54 acres in size, and meet the requirements for the placement of septic systems. In addition, the homes, septic systems, and other impacts created by development already exist and there would be no new impacts as a result of this request being approved.
No staff members from the County Planning, Engineering, and Health Departments objected to the proposed Minor Land Division. Each of these Departments have minor concerns the applicant should address prior to recording the final plat, as outlined below:
1. Planning Department: There are some outstanding building permits as indicated in the June 1, 2006, memo from Candace Phippen, Code Compliance Supervisor. These address some permit and inspection approvals for work done on additions to one of the residences. The requirements for building permits are in place because they address life safety, health and welfare issues. The inspections ensure that structures are built up to standard. Staff concludes that if the County is to formally recognize two legal lots at this site, the structures on these lots should comply with County Code requirements because they can be conveyed separately.
2. Engineering Department: In addition to the comments already discussed, the Engineering Department indicates that some technical items must be corrected on the survey before the plat can be recorded. Engineering will also need some data related to the survey as described in the May 19, 2006, memo from Dale Greer to the applicants surveyor.
3. Department of Health and the Environment: Prior to recording the final plat, the applicant must provide information to the Health Department to show that existing septic systems will be located within the boundaries of the new lots as shown on the final plat.
4. Staff referred the application to outside reviewing agencies including the Loveland Fire Prevention Bureau and the affected utility companies. None of the outside agents objected to the approval of the MLD.
The Development Services Team recommends approval of the Pemberton Minor Land Division subject to the following conditions and authorization for the Chair to sign the plat when the conditions are met and the plat is presented for signature:
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve Items 1 through 3 as listed on the Consent Agenda and outlined above.
Motion carried 3-0.
5. BENSLEY ZONING VIOLATION - #04-ZV0264: Mr. Gray addressed the Board and explained the situation regarding the Bensleys property. He said that currently, there are two Land Use Code violations. One violation refers to Section 21.B (LUC), and the other is Section 105.1 (LUC), by virtue of moving a DWMH (Double Wide Mobile Home) onto the property without a required move permit, and storing the DWMH on the property without a valid building permit. Mr. Gray said that a complaint was received by Zoning Code Enforcement staff in August 2004, alleging in part, that a modular home had been moved onto the property. Staff confirmed the modular home had been moved onto the property without required permits and inspection approvals. Despite several telephone calls, site visits, and a pre-application meeting with one or more of the owners, the DWMH remains on the property without valid permits and inspection approvals.
James Bensley, owner of the modular home, addressed the Board and stated his opinion on the issue. He says that he is in the process of remodeling the DWMH to be used as storage for a home based business. He has no intention of using the modular home as a primary living space. Mr. Bensley also feels as though it is too expensive to pay for the necessary permits when the actual mobile home is only 800 square feet. However, he has put a lot of time and money into remodeling the mobile home and doesnt want it removed from the property.
Mr. Kadera explained that even under the Home Occupation Federal and State law, a manufactured home is intended for residential purposes only. Some discussion ensued among the Commissioners. Commissioner Rennels suggested that the applicant meet with Mr. Kadera and other Planning Department staff members to review Mr. Bensleys options more thoroughly.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners table the Bensley Zoning Violation, File #04-ZV0264, for 90 days.
Motion carried 3-0.
4. SPENCER/MUDARRI MINOR SPECIAL REVIEW/APPEAL - #06-Z1592: This is a request to approve a Minor Special Review for a detached Accessory Dwelling Unit, with an appeal to increase to 1017 square feet which is the 800 square foot allowance for Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (Section 4.3.10). The applicant seeks approval for a Minor Special Review to allow for the continued use of an existing, detached, residential unit as an approved accessory dwelling use. According to the project description the main residence was constructed in the mid-1940s. The detached residential use was first permitted in the 1970s as a garage or utility building. It was later expanded and converted for habitation without review by the County. The detached building has since been used and possibly rented as living quarters. Because the remodel expanded the building to a size of approximately 1017 square feet, it exceeds the limit set by Section 4.3.10 of the Land Use Code for new accessory dwelling uses. Thus, the application includes an appeal to this standard so the structure can be approved in its current form.
Mr. Wheeler addressed the Board and provided background information on the Minor Special Review. He stated that the reason for the review is to legalize the existence of the accessory building. Staff has received at least three concerns from neighbors that this will become a rental unit.
A ten minute recess was taken to allow time for the County Attorney to arrive. Assistant County Attorney, David Ayraud, entered the hearing room and the meeting resumed.
Mr. Wheeler summarized the information that was previously presented when the County Attorney was absent. Then, the applicant was given the opportunity to respond to the issue. William Harper, Broker Associate for ReMax, who spoke on behalf of the property owners, addressed the Board. Mr. Harper explained that the accessory building had been used as a rental unit in the past. He stated that the property was purchased by the current owners in 1999, with the assumption that the home and accessory building were conforming. Once they discovered that this was not the case, they terminated the lease on the accessory building.
Chair Gibson opened up the hearing for public comment and Steve Winer, owner of an adjacent lot, addressed the Board. Mr. Winer presented the results of a petition that was signed by ten neighbors, seven of which were against the use of the accessory building as a rental unit. He feels that there has been a lack of sensitivity by the homeowners and a misrepresentation of the actual use of the accessory building. Following public comment, discussion ensued among the Commissioners.
The Development Services Team recommends approval of the appeal to the Section 4.3.10.F standard that limits the detached accessory dwelling use to no more then 800 square feet in size. The habitable space of the current structure shall not be further expanded beyond the existing 1017 square feet. Approval of the Spencer-Mudarri Minor Special Review is subject to the following conditions:
Commissioner Wagner moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve the appeal to the Section 4.3.10.F standard that limits the detached accessory dwelling use to no more than 800 square feet in size. The habitable space of the current structure shall not be further expanded beyond the existing 1017 square feet.
Motion carried 3-0.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Spencer/Mudarri Minor Special Review for a detached accessory dwelling use subject to conditions 1 through 6 as recommended by staff and outlined above.
Motion carried 3-0.
The hearing adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
There was no Administrative Matters meeting held this week, as the Courthouse offices were closed in celebration of the July 4th holiday.
The Board of County Commissioners met at 6:30 p.m. with Dr. Adrienne LeBailly, Director of the Health Department. Chair Gibson presided and Commissioners Wagner and Rennels were present. Also present was Marie Macpherson, Health Department; and Kristen Romary, Deputy Clerk.
Dr. LeBailly explained that the reason for the changes in the current Rules and Regulations is for Larimer County to be in compliance with Colorado State law. The purpose of these Rules and Regulations is to set forth the requirements for the inspection, licensure and operation of ambulance services, ambulance personnel and ambulance vehicles operating in Larimer County pursuant to the Colorado Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Act. The State regulation passed in 2005, and Larimer County had twelve months to be in compliance with the new State law. Dr. LeBailly stated that all ambulance services were contacted in May 2006, informing them of the changes, and no negative feedback was received. Ms. Macpherson said that the larger ambulance fleets will be affected the most by the regulatory changes, the smaller fleets will not see much of a change.
After the presentation of the new Rules and Regulations by Dr. LeBailly, some discussion among the Commissioners ensued.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners approve the Rules and Regulations concerning ambulance service.
Motion carried 3-0.
The hearing adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
The Board of County Commissioners met at 11:30 p.m. Chair Gibson presided and Commissioners Rennels and Wagner were present. Also present were: Frank Lancaster, Neil Gluckman, Angela Erker, Bob Keister, and Deni LaRue, Commissioners Office; and Gael Cookman, Deputy Clerk.
Commissioner Rennels moved that the Board of County Commissioners go into Executive Session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters as outlined in 24-6-402(4)(f) C.R.S.
Motion carried 3-0.
The Executive Session ended at 12:05 p.m. with no further action taken.
Gael M. Cookman, Deputy Clerk
Kristen Romary, Deputy Clerk

Hosting a party requires a lot of decision making, from where the party is held to what kind of hot, savory gravy goes in the piñata. Call in the professionals with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $550 for a simple wedding ceremony for up to 100 guests (a $1,200 value)
- $4,100 for the Full Sha-Bang wedding service for up to 100 guests (an $8,200 value)
The Victorian House's wedding-planning services cover almost every base. The simple wedding ceremony includes a coordinator to make sure the ceremony goes smoothly, an hour of dressing and rehearsal time, and an hour for the ceremony itself. It all takes place in a decorated chapel or gazebo with candelabras and music, and the bride and groom each receive separate cottages to prepare.
The Full Sha-Bang service completes the day by adding a reception to the elegant ceremony; the coordinator stays to help orchestrate a beautiful reception. Nonalcoholic beverages, including coffee, tea, and punch, are self-served. The kitchen bakes cakes and provides chocolate fountains for a sweet guest treat, as well as all the silverware, colored linens, and tables to complete the reception. Cakes of choice are also included, based on guest count. A dinner buffet of barbecue, Italian, or Mexican food—among other types of food—is prepared, and a professional wait staff is on hand to help out. Even the ring-bearer pillow and flower-girl basket are taken care of, and an audio-visual setup can display a DVD or slideshow.
The total ceremony and reception time is 3 hours; total facility time is 5 hours. Both packages are valid for Friday and Sunday events, with no holiday blackout dates, and many other options and add-ons are also available.
The Victorian House
Everything that needs to be said about The Victorian House is in its name. The home exudes the elegance of the bygone era, with its steeple-roof chapel, historic architecture, and expansive lawns. It's frequently the host of weddings both simple and extravagant; besides the chapel, there's a vast reception room for post-ceremony parties, and an outdoor gazebo features prominently in many of the wedding parties' pictures. Private dressing cottages hide the bride from the groom as they prepare for the ceremony; the bride donning her dress, the groom fixing his tie, and the priest preparing his t-shirt launcher. The chapel, where most ceremonies take place, boasts three large arched windows behind the altar where light filters into the room, and large candelabras fill the area with dim, intimate light.

Re: Interesting failure of Collect
It looks like a bug but it is probably an unintuitive feature from trying to
extend the Collect patterns to include numbers. Pi seems to be permitted but
the 1/4 causes the problem. You may be able to overcome the problem by
omitting numbers and including FactorTerms as the last argument in Collect.
Collect[expr, Sin[p]/Pi, FactorTerms]
((1/a + 1/b)*Sin[p])/(4*Pi)
Collect[expr2, Sin[p]/Pi, FactorTerms]
((1/a - 1/b)*Sin[p])/(4*Pi)
The last argument to Collect is easy to overlook and is often quite useful.
David Park
djmp at earthlink.net
From: Blimbaum, Jerry CIV NSWC PC [mailto:jerry.blimbaum at navy.mil]
To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net
Given the expr = Sin[p]/(4 Pi a) + Sin[p]/(4 Pi b)
and then applying the command
Collect[expr, Sin[p]/(4 Pi)] works as it should, however,
expr2 = Sin[p]/(4 Pi a) - Sin[p]/(4 Pi b)
leaves the expression untouched. (I realize I could use Simplify but
this problem occurred on a much longer expression and this is intended
just to convey the basic idea)....for longer expressions the Collect
process works for all quantities with a + sign but the one with a minus
sign will not be collected.....strikes me as a "bug".....
thanks....jerry blimbaum

Disneynature's debut movie Earth will be released in theaters on April 22, 2009 (Earth Day), and the studio is celebrating by planting a tree for every ticket sold in the first week of release.
"'EARTH' is a spectacular film from the world's most acclaimed nature filmmakers, and we couldn't think of a better way to launch the new Disneynature banner, and to celebrate the spirit of the film and Earth Day at the same time," said Dick Cook, chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. "The film gives moviegoers an entertaining and unprecedented view of our planet, with some of the most astonishing imagery and exciting natural drama ever presented on the big screen."
According to their press release, the trees will be planted in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, reportedly considered to be one of the most endangered in the world.
Narrated by James Earl Jones, "EARTH" tells the remarkable story of three animal families and their amazing journeys across the planet we call home. "EARTH" combines rare action, unimaginable scale and impossible locations by capturing the most intimate moments of our planet's wildest and most elusive creatures. This movie is being done by the same people that created the excellent documentary series "Planet Earth" for the BBC, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing what they do with a feature-length movie!
Tickets for the movie are already on sale for select theaters, so you don't have to wait until opening day to get the house of Mouse to plant a tree in your name. We have more information, including videos, photos, and related links available on the Information Page for Earth.

text: What we're basically doing is putting together a smaller, more lean frontend to gold, and also trying together some other functions and information for our users in a sort of 'HPC Portal' for them, which includes their group membership info, CPU usage, document sharing, grant info and such. We are basically going to take our LDAP membership hierarchy and import it into gold (projects, accounts, user groups, etc). Since gold does a great job of organizing things in the database and such, we'll probably use that directly...We have a pretty large userbase right now, so we can't really start from scratch and develop. The gold web application that comes with the software is excellent, but unfortunately, we feel that it gives too much information on other projects, groups, and such to be opened up to our project sponsors and such. There's been conversations on this list about minimizing the views (or scopes) of which a user can see, but right now that's a few releases away, as per Scott's responses. The gold web interface will be used for our internal and administrative staff. If anyone is interested in a similar solution, we're going to be trying to modulize the user portal and release it open source...;-) On 7/1/10 5:00 PM, "Stijn De Weirdt" <stijn.deweirdt at ugent.be> wrote: > > Is there anywhere in the source that has a SQL styled listing of > the > queries used for certain gold commands (such as gstatement, etc, > etc)? > Looking through the source of some of the perl scripts, it looks > like most > of those use the Database.pm in the lib/Gold/ libraries > directory. > an > easy way is to setup a test gold instance and run it in debug log level. the > all the sql used is available in the log files.

Tehran calls for US withdrawal from Gulf region, rejects nuclear development accusations
Iran Monday urged American forces to leave the Gulf region and rejected Washington's accusations that it is running a secret nuclear weapons program.
"Neither Iran nor the countries in the region feel comfortable with foreign troops in the region," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters on a visit to the Philippines.
"We hope the situation comes that the foreign troops, including the Americans, will leave because the security and stability of the region would be safeguarded by the countries in the region," he added, according to AP.
Asefi also rejected American claims that Tehran is involved in secret nuclear weapons programs, adding: "We are not looking for any military nuclear activity."
"That is out of the question. We are not thinking that way," he said. "We are having a very good cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. We are ready to continue that." (Albawaba.com)

Dinky Ninja Dean Reilly - Fighting at featherweight, living light-hearted
It was no coincidence that the day I had my first encounter with Dean (@hurricane_dnft) Reilly was the very same day the east coast of America started its stormy relationship with Hurricane Irene.
Not that my encounter with Dean was stormy – anything but. However, he does kind of blow you away with the speed at which he hits the reply button to flood your inbox with his witty retorts.
Dean Reilly (5-2-0) is part of what can only be described as a fighting family firm - The Dinky Ninjas - the most prolific fight team to come out of Scotland. Fighting out of the Griphouse gym, they're the most animated, colourful characters you will find in a cage. If ever there were to be a sitcom about a gym, it would be about this gym. They love the camera and none more so than Dean.
Although fun is never far from the top of their agenda, don't underestimate their fighting credentials. Head Coach Paul McVeigh holds the Cage Warriors bantamweight strap and The Cage Contender 135lb title. He's just one of several title holders on their fight team.
We caught up with Dean as he prepares for his featherweight bout with Steve O'Keeffe (4-1-0). Although his preparation for Cage Warriors 44 is serious, how he describes it is not!
How did you get into MMA?
I watched some UFC and thought, I could do that. People laughed in my face and said I was too skinny. I went to the Griphouse and loved it. BOSH!
Describe your fight camp training…
It's me getting the crap kicked out of me by many of my kind and willing 'friends'. But I'm feeling in pretty good shape at the minute so I'm just looking to build on that.
Do you have a ritual 24 hours before a fight?
I spend the day questioning why the hell I've agreed to fight another trained and willing man in a cage. I go to the toilet…a lot. I also try to figure out if anyone would actually notice if I didn't turn up or if I stuck someone else in in place of me.
How did you feel about your last fight (a unanimous decision victory over Josh Ramage at CW41 in April)?
Pretty good. I got a good 15 minutes in for the first time, did some cool stuff, some fairly stupid stuff and learned a fair bit. Plus I managed to blag a Cage Warriors t-shirt. If it's not nailed to the ground, there's a good chance a ninja will nick your stuff.
Is there anything specific you've worked on for this camp?
If it's not a flying or a spinning technique then I'm not interested. Other than that I'm just trying to learn from mistakes I've made in previous fights and improve in all areas.
What do you believe will give you an edge in this fight?
I'm counting on Steve O'Keeffe being lost in my dreamy eyes or transfixed on my glorious abs. Then it's mine for the taking.
Will you bring any new Ninja moves to this fight?
Apart from the flying somersaulting hadoken just look for someone who's been working to improve in all areas…with awesome hair.
Why are you filming your weight cut for CWFC 44?
Jay Furness did a really good blog on it and I figured the next logical step would be a video. Cutting weight is mega-tedious so editing the videos will give me something to occupy myself with. Plus I thought it would be good fun and interesting. I like to be creative. Also my ab game will be off the charts and I want a record of that when I'm old fat and broken.
What's your greatest extravagance?
My MMA career. I should really be making a big bag of money while working offshore but you've got to stick your neck out and follow your dreams. That and food…oh, and Nike stuff.
Is there a word you over-use?
C*nt. It's a very descriptive word in Glasgow. For example, "see that c*nt over there? He's a right good c*nt that c*nt". Also, 'bosh'.
Which talent would you most like to have?
To be able to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix, play the drums like Animal from the Muppets and I wish I could sing.
What is your most treasured possession?
My sense of humour and belief that if I keep doing the right thing then life will work itself out.
Favourite film?
Zombieland at the moment. I'm ready to run riot when the inevitable zombie apocalypse happens. Samurai sword in hand, crazed look in eyes, massive smile on face.
As one of the Dinky Dancers, will you dance your way into the cage on October 1?
F**k no! I'll be too busy trying not to s**t myself. Besides, anyone who's not Genki Sudo or Mayhem Miller looks a total tit dancing their way in.
Are you on Twitter?
Aye, @hurricane_dnft. If you can't live without inane drivel and ramblings then I'm the Twitter account for you. Bosh
Interview by Sue Finnegan for CageWarriors.com / Photo Copyright Dolly Clew

text: his house is going on the market soon. Grubs pretty much wiped out 2/3 of it. I am of course doing this for cost of material only but I'm not sure what to do. He doesn't expect it to take that long for the house to sell, but who ever knows. He of course doesn't want to dump a ton of money into the lawn because he's selling the house. It just needs to look decent. He seems to have gotten the grub problem under control, for the most part, and the remaining 1/3 of the lawn consists of some grass and moss. I went over today to do the spring clean-up, and pretty much sucked up 2/3 of his dead lawn with my Grasshopper. Do I drag, grade (moles), and overseed? Do I drag, grade, seed & hay? Do I till, grade, seed, and hay? Do I bring in loam and seed & hay. Do I bring in loam and hydroseed....( I don't have a hydroseeder), or do I prep what's there and have it hydroseeded? I'm trying to keep this cheap but effective because it's for dear old Dad. Thanks for any suggestions you can throw my way. -Mark

This proposed structure indicates that the Hong Kong commodities trader is willing to retain a stake in the new entity. Sources said any deal was likely to be structured as a scheme of arrangement and might allow Noble Group, which owns 64.5 per cent of Gloucester, to reduce its stake in the coal miner but not exit the asset altogether.
Sources close to Noble pointed out that the trader's general strategy was not to control coal mines or to own coal mines. Rather, it has a habit of building a significant minority stake in a company, help develop its mines and then sell down its holding to a smaller, cornerstone stake. This allows Noble to recycle the capital into developing other miners.
Shares in Gloucester and Yancoal Australia's parent, Hong Kong-listed Yanzhou Coal Mining, were halted from trading yesterday after The Australian Financial Review revealed that Yanzhou had approached Gloucester about a merger. Noble's support will be critical to the success of any deal and will go a long way towards reaching the 75 per cent of shares needed to approve such a scheme.
The key would be to structure a deal that would allow Noble to vote alongside Gloucester's minority shareholders. Noble may be able to vote at any scheme meeting, provided its interests are aligned with those of other shareholders.
Minority shareholders yesterday promised to scrutinise Yancoal Australia's asset valuations and the role Gloucester would play in any combined group before agreeing to any deal with the Chinese miner.
One of the key discussion points is understood to be the valuation of Yancoal's mining assets, which are relatively unknown to the market because they are held privately.
BT Investment Management portfolio manager Tim Barker said it would take time for BT to re-acquaint itself with Yancoal's assets, the bulk of which were acquired as part of its $3.1 billion takeover of Felix Resources in 2009. (Under that deal, Yancoal is required by Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board to float 30 per cent of Felix's assets on the Australian Securities Exchange by the end of 2013).
BT was a substantial Gloucester shareholder until last month. "[Yancoal's] assets have been off the market for some time now," Mr Barker said.
"There are lots of things that make sense in rationalisation. Let's see what they come up with in the deal – the structure, the valuation of assets."
Sources said the deal with Gloucester would be designed to satisfy the commitment to the FIRB, although it would not necessarily involve all of Yancoal's assets.
The level of regulatory scrutiny could ensure a long gestation period and some time to completion.
The FIRB's approval process usually takes at least 30 days.

A lot of fun, and packed with content.
I'm not a racing guy, either in gaming terms or even in sporting terms. That said, one of my favourite games of all time, hands down, is Wipeout 2097. Man, the hours lost, the Red Bull consumed, and the ringing in my ears that continues to this day because of Prodigy's Firestarter... well, you get the idea.
I've always thought I'd never find a game that would beat that – even later Wipeout titles – but, oddly along has come TrackMania 2 and made a fool of me. It's an amazing exploration of not only how far you can strip back a racing game to its core components, but also the kind of craziness you can pack in with just a bit of imagination.
Stripping it back
To say that TrackMania2's controls are simple is possibly the biggest understatement in gaming. Basically, it's this – you go fast, you slow down; you turn left, you turn right. In fact, the control scheme is so simple that you can in fact play the game one-handed; which, you know, is great if you like to game while also performing grip-strength exercises.
However, do not for one minute think that simplicity in control means no complexity in execution. Every tap of the breaks pretty much lets abruptly turn into a slide, effectively a handbrake turn without needing the handbrake. Combined with a range of grippy (or not so) surfaces to hoon around on, the challenge of the game appears. And it's pure challenge, too, as developer Nadeo has opted to let all players use the one vehicle. You can choose an array of skins, and make your own, but the underlying handling is identical. This creates a level playing field and strips back every race to pure skill, not a bitching match between players fighting about which engine or kitout is best.
About the only other mechanic is how simple it is to restart a race when you inevitably crash out. One key, and you respawn – again, simple, and again, a great design choice. In singleplayer modes, earning medals goes from easy to 'Oh God, kill me now" hard, so having the ability to quickly easily restart a map when you go a touch too wide is a Gods-send.
So what about the actual racing?
Messing you up
Thinking back to Wipeout, one of the great things about that game was the impossible tracks. You could tackle some really out there tracks in those super-fast hover racers, but I really do think if you took a pilot from that game and dumped him or her into TrackMania2, they'd go nuts and shoot themselves in a few hours.
This game is nuts.
TrackMania2 does for physics what some crazy thing did for some otherwise staid other thing. Racetracks twist, turn and then turn upside down. You'll be banking up walls so steep that a Nascar racer would cry just thinking about it. And you'll crash, rince, repeat and do keep doing so.
The singleplayer stuff is challenging, and unlocking new maps and earning medals is certainly a great way to train, but the real game's online. TrackMania2 is a stat-tracker's dream, as it lets you look at folks in your state, country and all over the world to beat. Want to be the fastest racer in New South Wales – can do. If you're good enough. There's a mess of race modes from outright challenges to cross the line first to timetrials, and they're all made hella fun by that combination of simplicity and ease of restarting. Given you can aim for fastest on track, fastest time point, fastest in state, country and so on... there's a lot to race for. Shaving off microseconds suddenly has real meaning.
You'll cling to that meaning, too, when you start playing on player-made maps. The TrackMania2 map-making tools are robust and pretty easy to master (though the scripting is beyond us), but the results defy easy description. Suffice to say, your brain will hurt.
But in a good way, and you'll most definitely come back for more. Hopefully the local playerbase will grow a bit more, as for now it can still be a bit hard to find players online – hear me?

- It refers to knowledge or abilities acquired in one area that helps problem solving or knowledge acquisition in other areas.
Holding (1991) says that "transfer of training occurs whenever the effects of prior learning influence the performance of a later activity" (in Training for Performance Morrison, J. (Ed p. 93 )). The degree to which trainees successfully apply in their jobs the skills gained in training situations, is considered "positive transfer of training" (Baldwin & Ford, 1980).
It is important to understand that transfer of training holds somewhat different means in different disciplines of psychology. Holding's definition reflects a cognitive psychology perspective. A cognitive psychologist might be interested in how the semantic similarity of word pairs in one list affects time to learn on a second list (the transfer task). From this perspective, the original learning task and the "later activity" look very much alike.
Baldwin and Ford's definition reflects an Industrial/Organizational (I/O) Psychology perspective. An I/O psychologist might be interested in how trainees' motivation to transfer is related to later job performance. The training domain (e.g., a web-based training program) might be very different than the later "activity" domain (e.g., job performance).
Transfer of training is based on the theory of Transfer of learning

BMC Opens Imaging Center at Former North Adams Hospital
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Medical Center has restored general diagnostic imaging services in Northern Berkshire in order to provide easier access for the community.
Effective Monday, July 7, the BMC Northern Berkshire Imaging Center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., located where radiology services were provided at the former North Adams Regional Hospital.
The center provides X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; walk-in X-ray services are also available.
The imaging department at NARH were lost when Northern Berkshire Healthcare abruptly closed in March and declared bankruptcy. Since then, BMC has been able to restore a emergency services through an agreement with the the U.S. Bankruptcy Court-appointed trustee for NBH.
Imaging services were reinstated as part of BMC's Satellite Emergency Facility at the hospital, but outpatient services were not available since they required a separate license. BMC has been working with state and federal officials to obtain proper licensing for outpatient imaging services and to offer a more convenient location for North County patients who require them. BMC hopes to resume outpatient mammographies as well as soon federal licensing is completed.
The Pittsfield medical center has hired five radiologic technologists for the imaging center. Four are former North Adams Regional Hospital employees and the fifth is a BMC employee who resides in North Berkshire.
Patients can enter the imaging center through the Satellite Emergency Facility entry, where they will be directed to the center, which is in NARH's former Radiology Department. Physicians will schedule patient appointments through central scheduling at BMC and the location of North Berkshire will be an option.
Additional services at the former hospital will depend on the outcome of the public bidding process for the bankrupt facilities. BMC has tendered an offer of $4 million; the bidding ends on July 31. BMC has not indicated what more it plans to do with the NBH campus should it be the successful bidder.

Port-Au-Prince (AFP) Oct 14, 2010
Nine months after a huge earthquake devastated Haiti, destroying 80 percent of schools in and around its capital, teachers and aid workers have hit on a healthy way to get children back to class: serve them a hot meal.
In the aftermath of the worst natural disaster ever to strike already-impoverished Haiti, the government -- with United Nations assistance -- is aiming to feed more than a million children each day this year.
The project is in full swing at the site of the REU School in the Canape Vert neighborhood, where temporary sheds have replaced the main building that was razed by the January 12 earthquake that killed more than 250,000 Haitians, including a dozen of the school's students and one teacher.
"We have resumed school, but the atmosphere is not good. Conditions are difficult for pupils and teachers who are still living in tents," said principal Magalie George.
But thanks to a thriving school lunch program boosted in the wake of the disaster, half the students have now returned to class at the public school -- a French abbreviation of Republique des Etats-Unis, and named after Haiti's wealthy American neighbor to the north.
"Children are more motivated when they are assured of a meal," George stressed.
About 1,400 children from the slums attend the school, and providing them with one square meal a day is a relief for mothers who can not always provide for their children, said the principal as she oversaw delivery of a truckload of aid from the UN's World Food Programme (WFP).
The smaller children are served first, and eagerly eat the meal of white rice, donated by Canada, and Haitian vegetables as they sit shoulder to shoulder on wooden picnic tables in a covered outdoor courtyard.
Little Nedjima said she is grateful, especially since the 11-year-old and her four brothers and sisters are not always well fed at home.
"If we do not eat, we are sick, so this food is very helpful," she said.
Nationwide, the UN is feeding up to 800,000 Haitian schoolchildren.
"Together with the school meals program of the government, we are targeting more than one million children this year," said Anne Poulsen, a WFP spokeswoman.
The agency's representative in Haiti, Myrta Kaulard, is quick to point to the devastating impact that the magnitude 7.0 quake has had on the school system, and the need to rebuild schools and provide the right environment for schoolchildren, or risk losing a generation of Haitian youth.
"The meal program has become even more important after the earthquake," Kaulard said.
Through the innovation, the Haitian government seeks to allow more than two million schoolchildren to receive one meal per day, all while encouraging domestic agricultural production.
"We buy products from small Haitian growers," said the WFP representative, whose agency also feeds another 600,000 Haitian infants and pregnant women.
On this particular day after lunch, served in a makeshift cafeteria provided through a US donation, students also received a food ration of a few kilos (pounds) of rice and soy beans and one liter of cooking oil for the home.
"They went away relieved, knowing that their brothers and sisters can also eat," said psychologist Ronald Jean-Louis.
"The trauma of 12 January is still alive in the minds of the young, their parents and teachers, because we still live with the rubble piled in the street near the school," he added.
For many children, like 10-year-old Evelyne, studying near the crumbled remains of their former school have become sadly commonplace.
"Working in an open space is better, because we know that we won't be wiped out if there is another earthquake," she said.

West Coast has an anxious wait on the extent of defender Mitch Brown's knee injury, but coach Adam Simpson has already ruled out a return from retired captain Darren Glass.
Brown fell awkwardly from a marking contest at the start of the third term in the Eagles' eight-point loss to Fremantle at Patersons Stadium on Saturday night.
He didn't appear to receive any major contact from either teammate Eric Mackenzie or Fremantle skipper Matthew Pavlich. But he knew he was in trouble straight away and grabbed at his right knee.
He was stretchered from the ground and replaced by sub Sam Butler.
Brown has already missed a full season due to a knee reconstruction. He hyperextended his left knee in 2008 in an AFL Regional Challenge match in against Collingwood in Albany when he was just 19.
Simpson said there was just a slight hope that Brown had not injured his ACL.
''I went in thinking the worst, but there is a little glimmer of hope that it might not be as bad as we thought,'' Simpson said.
''But a very small chance.
''We've been really happy with his season. He's an animal. He knows how to turn up every week and play with that aggression.''
The Eagles host Sydney next week and the loss of Brown would stretch their defence.
Making matters worse is the fact that Glass retired two weeks ago. Simpson hosed down any suggestion that the former captain would change his decision and return to play out the season.
''I saw him at training the other day and he wasn't quite right. His ankle was sore, hip was sore. He looks like an old man on the track already,'' he said.
The loss of Brown could rob West Coast's forward line of Jeremy McGovern.
''We'll have to have that discussion,'' Simpson said. ''It's a unique forward line we come up against this week [the Swans].
''Gov, as much as we might need him back, he's been our best forward, so we'll have to find that balance, but we might have to call upon him.''
But it could also open the door for the Eagles to play three ruckman, with Scott Lycett showing promise in the past couple of weeks.

PlayBook OS 2.0 Drops For Lucky RIM Fans
Jason Mick
February 21, 2012 10:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
New OS packs numerous improvements
What has Research in Motion, Ltd.'s (
been cooking up
these past few months? Well, amid
a leadership shakeup
a string of troubles
that stewed much pessimism, RIM has
managed to bake
a major
operating system update
for its
PlayBook tablet
, which patches up many of the device's weaknesses.
A definite positive sign is that RIM appears to have been listening to the criticism, as its improvements
largely line up with things that early reviews panned
. New features include:
A new unified email client, which compiles your messages from Facebook, Twitter, and your various email accounts
A new Calendar app with social network access
A new Contacts app that syncs its information with Facebook
BlackBerry Bridge, an app that turns your BlackBerry into a wireless keyboard for the PlayBook -- or which leverages the PlayBook to offer big screen reading for emails and content
An enhanced web browser
The first PlayBook-compatible Android app ports, via new additions to BlackBerry App World
Improved virtual keyboard
BlackBerry Balance to check data usage
Improved document editing
Print to Go app
[Image Source: Engadget]
The build of the release is 22.214.171.12471, and it weighs in at 505 MB.
Early reviews of the PlayBook offered general praise for its form factor and hardware. But they called the operating system unpolished. With the new update perhaps the PlayBook can finally be considered a tablet to be contended with.
It's a bit late for RIM when it comes to both
tablet and smartphone market share
, but the fact that the company is responding to criticism proactively with improvements is a very good sign. The company is
still very profitable
-- so
like Microsoft
Corp. (
) it has a fair amount of money to throw at reinvigorating its smartphone efforts.
In related news, RIM has also aired a new enterprise-aimed management tool called BlackBerry Mobile Fusion. In a bit of a concession, the IT software not only supports BlackBerries, but also Apple, Inc.'s (
) iPhone and various Android smartphones. Support for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7.5 was not mentioned.

Former UF standout Rex Grossman signs with Browns
Published: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 12:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 12, 2014 at 12:05 p.m.
BEREA, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns have signed unrestricted free-agent quarterback Rex Grossman and waived quarterback Tyler Thigpen.
The 33-year-old Grossman is entering his 12th year in the NFL and joins a team where Brian Hoyer and Johnny Manziel are vying for the starting job. He hasn't played in the regular season since 2011, when he started 13 games for Washington.
Grossman, a former first-round pick out of the University of Florida, has played for the Bears (2003-08), Texans (2009) and Redskins (2010-13). In the 2006 season, he led Chicago to the Super Bowl in his first full season as the starter. Grossman has gone 25-22 as a starting quarterback. He has completed 863 of 1,562 passes for 10,232 yards with 56 touchdowns and 60 interceptions.

Think about it: With the 16th pick, Jerra Nation pick Leonard Seawall, OT, from North Dakota State. Then all of us will at long last chuck it in and say goodbye to our first love and unrequited love, the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, then we awake in a parking lot after with a bottle of gin and tickets to an Arena football game. nake you are the best and can eat free any time in Farmers Branch.
