Another loss leaves Linehan, wretched Rams all wet
The wretched Rams fall hard, leaving coach Scott Linehan and his 0-3 team searching for answers.
Seattle Times NFL reporter
The Rams coaches were all wet after Sunday's game.
This may not come as a great shock to the folks of St. Louis, who've watched the Rams lose 16 of their last 19 games.
But this isn't any sort of comment on coaching acumen. The Rams coaches were sopping wet and without towels in the visitor's locker room at Qwest Field after the game.
"They're in there drip-drying," one of the Rams equipment people said.
It should be clarified that former Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi had nothing to do with the lack of towels. This had nothing to do with promoting accountability. This was just a symbolically appropriate conclusion to a day in which St. Louis couldn't do much of anything right, not even when they tried to wash away the sting of a 37-13 loss to the Seahawks.
Amazingly, that final score counted for progress because 24 points is the closest loss for the Rams this season. The Eagles beat them 38-3 in Week 1, and the Giants routed them 41-13 in Week 2.
So what do the Rams do for an encore? They go out and fall behind 24-3 in the first half and lost a game so lopsided that asking coach Scott Linehan what went wrong was almost a rhetorical question.
"Well, you were probably at the same game I was at," Linehan said. "They were able to pretty much do what they wanted to do in the first half."
The Seahawks wanted to run the ball. Anyone who saw a starting lineup that included two receivers who weren't even employed by the team in Week 1 could see that.
And what did the Seahawks do? They ran the ball. Ran it repeatedly, logging their most carries in any game since 2006. Ran it effectively, gaining more yards on the ground than any game since 2005.
"These big chunks of yardage that teams are getting on us is alarming," Linehan said. "It's not like it's a new thing. It was alarming the first week. It was alarming last week. It's alarming again."
It's time to be alarmed for Linehan. He's one of the truly good guys in the coaching profession. He's from Sunnyside, went to Idaho and he was selling class rings at the time he decided to take a shot at college coaching and began working for next to nothing.
He's a capable coach. Someone who made the most of an opportunity he got as Jim Lambright's offensive coordinator at Washington in the late 1990s and worked his way to an NFL head-coaching job.
But this gig with the Rams is done. It could end this week. Maybe it will be during the Rams' bye week after playing Buffalo on Sept. 28. At the very latest it will come at the end of this season because this team is absolutely awful.
The Rams went 8-8 his first season and were it not for Seattle's two last-minute field goals against St. Louis, the team would have made the playoffs. The Rams lost 13 games last season and look bad enough to lose even more this season.
St. Louis' most effective play of the first half was the punt that Seahawks' receiver Michael Bumpus failed to catch. The Rams' first three possessions resulted in the same number of turnovers as first downs with one apiece, but when Bumpus failed to catch a punt that sailed over his head, the Rams recovered the ball at the Seattle 23. The Rams ran three plays, lost 2 yards and then kicked the field goal. They moved backward even on their first scoring possession.
The Rams didn't do anything well Sunday except kick the ball. The field goals came out OK, but they better, given all the money St. Louis ponied up to sign Josh Brown.
St. Louis has been outscored 38-0 in the first quarter and Sunday's game marked the first time this season they've run a play that began inside the opponent's 20. But that's not really progress. Not for a team that is now alone in last place in the NFC West. So at this point, do you just acknowledge that this is the reality of this season?
"No," Linehan said. "I acknowledge that it is pretty bad. The way it's going to be? No. We're going to be ready to play next week's game. And it's got to be a heck of a lot better than the first three."
The Rams returned to Missouri in a state of abject misery. Let's hope their coaches found some towels before they headed out of town.

Pointers next in line for Whitewater
The Warhawks, thanks to a Eric Kindler�s 17-yard field goal with 1:18 left to play, rallied for a 20-17 WIAC win. The three-point winning margin was the smallest in Whitewater�s current 37-game winning streak�the nation�s longest in any NCAA Division.
UW-Stevens Point hopes to return the favor Saturday as Whitewater welcomes the Pointers in as part of its homecoming weekend. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Perkins Stadium.
Two-time NCAA Division III defending champion and top-ranked Whitewater trailed 17-10 at half against Oshkosh but kept the Titans off the scoreboard in the second half in rallying for its 21st straight conference win.
�We thought it was going to be a close, physical game against Oshkosh, and that�s exactly what we got,� Whitewater coach Lance Leipold said. �We haven�t had one of those games in awhile where the circumstances were such that we lost four starters (to injury) in the first half.
�That�s why it was so positive to see some players step up and play well for us. That was some unknown territory for us, but I�m proud of the adjustment our coaches made at half.�
Although the Warhawks struggled, at times, against the Titans, tailback Levell Coppage continues to build on his impressive resume. The senior finished with 131 yards to become the NCAA Division III all-time leader in 100+ games with 37. Coppage was tied with Mount Union�s Nate Kmic at 36, while former Warhawk and the school�s all-time leading rusher Justin Beaver had 34.
Beaver�s school and WIAC record of 6,584 career rushing yards will likely fall Saturday. Coppage (6,530) needs 55 yards to break Beaver�s mark.
Stevens Point (4-3, 2-2) won last Saturday on a last-minute touchdown on a quarterback sneak by Mike Beau. Four of Stevens Point�s seven games have been decided by seven points or less.
�I�m hoping our fans don�t get caught up in their (Stevens Point) record because this is a team that is starting to find its stride,� Leipold said. �It took them awhile to find their niche and what they were all about, but they�re getting better each and every week.
�They�re even bigger up front on both sides of the ball than Stout, and good speed on the outside. It�s going to be a challenge for us.�

Night after night, many people find themselves turning to their side for a restful night's sleep, so what makes the best mattress for side sleepers? Firmness, support, and pelvic rotation are all key factors to consider when selecting your next new mattress. Unlike back sleepers, side sleepers are less likely to struggle with snoring or airflow issues, but they can suffer from hip, back, or neck pain.
By following a few critical guidelines, you can help to make sure that the side sleepers in your home are getting restful sleep. Let's get started.
Top 5 Mattresses for Side Sleepers
- Leesa mattress – $865 (Queen) – Avena + memory foam
- Amerisleep Liberty mattress – $1,299 (Queen) – memory foam
- Loom & Leaf mattress – $1,099 (Queen) – memory foam
- Helix mattress – $945 (Queen) – latex + polyfoam + microcoils
- Nest Bedding Alexander Hybrid mattress – $999 (Queen) – memory foam
Just want to see the full list of mattress recommendations for side sleepers? Click here to jump to the review summary.
First off, let's talk about firmness. For side sleepers, you're going to want to look for something soft to moderate on the firmness scale. A soft mattress (with great support) will help to relieve pressure from your neck and back. Firmness is perhaps the most important attribute for side sleepers. This is due to the very nature of the position. In order to provide proper support the mattress must be able to contour to the curves of your body (yes, men, even you have curves on your side). A soft or medium firmness mattress will allow your body to sink into the mattress a bit more, which will let the mattress contour to your shape.
A mattress with great support will relieve pressure points and keep your spine, neck, and back in alignment. For side sleepers, this is especially important since your spine may be misaligned already. It's important to note that support is not the same thing as hard firmness. A softer mattress can still provide great support. When looking for a new mattress that will meet your side sleeper needs you'll want to look for one that contours to your body's shape. Foam mattresses offer many advantages for side sleepers, but well-built and well-designed innerspring mattresses can be effective also.
The actual position of side sleepers can drastically range. Some of the most popular ones include forms like:
- The log – Legs fully extended
- The sprinter – One leg straight, one leg bent
- The fetal – Both legs curled at the knee
Due to the nightly variation of a side sleeper's position, support is key to ensure your mattress is properly contouring to your body throughout the night.
Pelvic Rotation
Pelvic rotation is the result of misalignment of the back muscles and lumbar spine. It is caused when sleepers twist or curl their legs up in opposition to the position of the upper body. Take for example, "the sprinter". This person sleeps with one leg fairly straight and the other bent, which tends to rotate his or her upper body into a stomach sleeping position, while the lower body remains on the side. This type of rotation can lead to or worsen any lower back and neck pain so it's important to take preventative measures before it starts hurting.
There aren't any perfect solutions to preventing pelvic rotation, but there are a few things you can do to help.
- Try to train yourself to sleep in side sleeping positions that keep your spine in alignment.
- Use a pillow between your legs to maintain spinal alignment (see below).
- Buy a good mattress with proper support and softness. That will help to prevent pressure points that might be currently causing you to sleep in positions that cause more pelvic rotation.
Good pillows are just as important as a good mattress. You may have an exceptionally well made and comfortable mattress, but without a good pillow you may still find that your sleeping experience is less than ideal. A quality pillow is critically important for side sleepers due to the increased (and somewhat more complex) support needs. Pillows made from latex, shredded foam, memory foam, or other poly foam help provide consistent and stable support by responding to the varying pressures of your head and neck. You'll want to look for a pillow that is tall enough to cradle your head and neck, but not so tall that you introduce a new form of pressure.
Additionally, many side sleepers use pillows between their legs. This can help to resist pelvic rotation, while also relieving lower back pressure.
The advent of foam pillows in the 1990s was nothing short of a miracle for side sleepers. Foam pillows are able to provide great support and softness and properly cradle a side sleeper's head and neck. If you haven't already, make sure to check out my full list of pillow reviews. My personal favorite is the fully adjustable Nest Bedding Easy Breather pillow.
What's the best mattress for a side sleeper?
Sleepopolis recommends the following mattresses for side sleepers. The following mattresses:
- Provide great support.
- Have a soft to moderate firm feel (3-6 out of 10 on the firmness scale, where 10 is the most firm).
- Are supportive enough to prevent or limit pelvic rotation.
- Contour to the natural curves created by lying on your side.
- Breathe well and improve the cooling of the mattress.

Be sure to try a wide range of firmness when shopping for the best mattress for you. Depending on your size, weight, and body type you may find different firmness levels affect your body differently. When trying out a new mattress, it helps to lie on it exactly as you would sleep. Try to give it at least 10 minutes. Softer mattresses for side sleepers contour and react to your body very quickly as soon as you lie down, so it may feel different after only 5 short minutes.
If you're shopping online make sure to select a company with a solid trial period. Many of the top online mattress companies back their product with a great trial period (e.g., Leesa 100 day trial, Nest 100 day trial, Loom & Leaf 120 day trial) so if you find that it's not right for you, you can swap it out for one that is.

The value of preserving the four large predators in Sweden: Regional differences considered
This paper contributes with an applied policy analysis of the predator preservation policy in Sweden. We estimate the social benefits from preserving the four large predators in Sweden by applying a contingent valuation approach. The vehicle we use to fulfil our objectives is data from a survey that were mailed out in the spring of 2004. We find that the Swedish population is divided in half concerning their support for the predator policy package and that the overall mean WTP for preserving the four large predators in Sweden is approximately SEK 290. We also find that the WTP differ substantially between different regions in Sweden. Respondents in Stockholm have the highest WTP whereas the lowest WTP is found for respondents living in Wolfterritories. Finally we find that our measure of the social value is sensitive with respect to response-uncertainty. When the respondents are allowed to be uncertain about their valuation they state a higher value. The main conclusion is that the social-value of preserving the four large predators in Sweden may be negative since the stated benefits seem to be rather small.

Social Question
What do you think is a harder job - staying at home full time with several preschool-age children or going to work full time?
I have thought of this question on several occasions, as I think about my life working full time, and comparing it to some people I know who are stay at home moms. I think of the pros and cons of working full time vs. the pros and cons of being a full time stay at home mom.
The cons of working full time include, but are not limited to, having to get up early, dress, the stress of the commute, being on someone else's schedule and having to be supervised by another person, and being away from home for the majority of the day. The cons of being a full time mom are that there are no breaks, it's physically demanding and exhausting, and you are most likely with the kids only during the day, so limited in adults available to talk to .
I was never a full time stay at home mom, but I know when I am home for short periods with my preschooler, it's tiring, and she's good, so I can imagine being with several rowdy children, it must be extra tough.
In your experience, what is harder: working full time or being a full time stay at home mom?

So my friend loaded games onto a harddrive and I tried to extract them using WBFS, but i noticed that the finished file size was different than the ones that were registered on the original harddrive. Most of them were 3.99 gbs. So, as a result, when I tried the new harddrive with my wii, a large majority of the games, the incomplete ones, didn't show at all. I tried several times, individually, and in groups, to extract again. Any idea on whether or not this is normal, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks so much in advance:cool:

This is part one of 4 videos representing a weekend workshop with Willem de Thouars, aka, Uncle Bill. These videos include the work of Roberto Torres who came to the workshop as Uncle's assistant. These videos offer a rare demonstration of Uncle Bill's Kun Tao Bagua, and a special session of Uncle Bill administering massage to Carl Spitale, Kun Tao student of Willem Reeders. Sifu Lenny Howie is also featured as well as his cousin Tony Laughlin. Enjoy.
Willem de Thouars, Kun Tao Silat, 1996 Gulfport School of Tai Chi Chuan — 16 Comments
Richard Clear practices the most ineffective martial art i've ever seen, Bear Kuntao is a joke
Probably.. Many high skilled level players lack in shiny performances.
I've noticed in a couple of his videos that his forms are terrible.
Mr Torres can really move for a big man.Nice techniques!
Man I miss practising, but I'm stuck out here in tin-buck-to Spring Hill, Fl with no one to practise with. I wonder if Uncle is going to have a seminar in Tampa anytime soon.
jjfp284.. Thanks for your comment. I'm sure you saw Richard in these videos..
Lol. I swear some people think because there arent any high kicks that its worthless but the truth is my teacher Richard Clear studied with Uncle Bill, and I attended some seminars, and Uncle Bill is devastating.
Handicap nothing.
I find Bapak Willem de Thouars, to have much better moves than Paul, the thought of many others in the martial arts world, especially reading what was written of what occured with their mother as Pak Willem brought this out for all of us to read. from what I understand, their mother saved Paul's bacon during WWII, and then a son Paul to have done what he did, leaves me to understand that there are NO descriptive words other than, shamefull
I always find the 'skeptics' point of view interesting, because it reveals either ignorance, or education. For instance – using MMA as a proving ground for the true effectiveness of a martial art – that is ignorant. MMA is a sport. Also, to think that literally generations, decades, centuries, of real warriors have developed these techniques because they DON'T work… and you know better than them? That's true ignorance, with a large dose of arrogance. Train. Learn. Understand.
No – MMA and Muay Thai nutriders can be just as dumb. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some opinions are more equal than others. Let's face it, never in a million years will teachers like this put up a vid of them actually using this stuff against MMA or Muay Thai, or even any competent opponent in real contact sparring. So, let that be the judge of who has to be braiwashed to believe they can fight. Cheers.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Truth and fighting arts come in many forms…doesn't mean they have no value because you don't understand it. Narrow-minded of you to believe these people never fight based on just a DEMO in this video. Until you actually experience these masters for yourself, you will be willfully ignorant behind your keyboard lol. Maybe you have just been brainwashed by the MMA craze to believe jujitsu and muay thai are the only way to go lol.
Oh you're welcome. It is difficult telling people the truth, but, hey ho, your thanks mean all the world to me.
Ok, thanks… sigh..
Doesn't really take as much luck as you think, if you startbeing honest about the crapola you believe, and start training honestly. Otherwise you end up having to use words to prove what you should demostrate. Ever heard the old phrase 'Here is Rhodes, now leap!' It means 'now demonstrate what you claim to be able to do!' Good luck with that.
Ok, (Martial)Skeptic.. as you wish… Again, good luck with whatever it is you train..
Yes - there is only one way to find out. The way they never, ever try – actual fighting.

Radio Shack Won't Say if Mid-Columbia Stores Part of 1,100 Closures [VIDEO]
After taking a financial tumble, and steadily losing market share, Radio Shack has announced some 1,100 under-performing stores will be closed.
According to consumerist.com, the chain originally said 500 would be shuttered out of some 4,300 in the U.S. and 950 overseas.
You may remember the recent Super Bowl ad that jokingly poked fun at the chain's aging image. Using music from the 80s legendary band Loverboy, the ad showed numerous icons of that era "raiding" the store and stealing everything in sight. It began with the two workers answering the phone, and one says afterwards, "The 80s called — they want their store back."
Then the "looting" begins.
Consumerist and the Wall Street Journal reported as recently as Tuesday Radio Shack has struggled to update its image. Once a strong staple in the American electronic, gadget and "gizmo" market, Radio Shack has been perceived as being less cool or hip than competitors such as Best Buy. It has faced competition from Walmart, Target and others that have upped their technology and electronic offerings.
Company officials reportedly told Consumerist there is no "list" as to which 1,100 stores will close, but they will use the following criteria:
the company has said it's shuttering stores based on location, area demographics, lease duration and financial performance."
The company operates stores in the Tri-Cities on George Washington Way Richland, 135 Ely in Kennewick (in the shopping plaza along Highway 395 near Starbucks) and in Columbia Center Mall.
Here is the Super Bowl ad:

Disorderly conduct: The new crystals put bling on its edge.
When you are looking for a modern detail to update your look, think about a clustered blast of raw, haphazard crystals. The new bling has a gritty, offhanded elegance reminiscent of rock candy or shattered glass.What's modern is not the cheap trick sparkly bling many of us associate with pave phone cases, cloyingly cute crystal encrusted novelty doodads, or glittering from a too tight T-shirt. Crystals now have an irregularity to them that looks fresh.

"And even though I know how very far apart we are, it helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star. And when the night winds start to sing a lonesome lullaby, it helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there, if love can see us through then, we'll be together ... Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true."
"Writing with other people is also beneficial, not only on the creative aspect, but also that they have a different context."
"It's very hard to teach someone how to write a song if to begin with there's no creative crop to harvest."

Several Points.
1. I always have two partitions on my HDs for the OS, Only one is active at any time. The other is not mounted. I deleted one of these partitions and recreated it, made it the active C: partition and dismounted the other C: partition and then reinstalled the OS from a slip-streamed WinXP Pro SP3 CD into that fresh C: partition. After updating that installation of Win XP Pro I tried the ZAISS installer and it failed. So reinstalling with a fresh Windows install doesn't solve my problem, whatever my problem is.
2. I had also tried it on my second (also Win XP Pro SP3) computer. It failed. I tried downloading it to a Mac and transferring it to my computer. It failed.
3. Lastly, I just now tried downloading and running it on my daughter's Vista laptop. It failed, just as before.
4. I may be the only one experiencing this problem but I am also experiencing it only with the most recent ZAISS downloads (9.1.507, 9.1.512 (German) and 9.1.603) and not my earlier ones.
I am now "officially" puzzled.
I am going to continue trying to find out what is wrong and maybe ZA Tech Support can shed some light on it based on the info I sent them but in the meantime I will have to live with the version of ZAISS tha I have installed, 9.1.008.
Thanks again for all the help.
Just to see what happens, I re-downloaded zaSuiteSetup_91_008_000_en.exe. The first try failed with a "An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by bad installer media or a corrupt installation file." eror message. The second attempt ran just fine. Not sure what this (or any of this) means.

Hello there-
First and foremost, I want to say thank you. I have turned to these forums for the last few months and have learned so much already. After struggling with doubts about a few choices, I wanted to post here to ask for some advice for our trip next month.
My husband and I are in our late 20s and will be traveling from Sept 22nd - Oct 5th. We were fortunate enough to be provided with free round trip business class airfare on Edelweiss, but are required to fly in/out of Zurich. However, we don't have much of an interest in Zurich since there are so many other wonderful places to visit. We are mainly interested in the B.O. area of Switzerland and the Bavarian porition of Germany. We thought it best to do the "loop" idea to start and end in Zurich. We will be traveling mostly by train, with the exception of having a rental car during our Germany portion. We enjoy scenery/nature, a little adventure, and some relaxing and soaking it all in as well.
Our tenative plans are as follows:
Saturday - Arrive Zurich 10 am. Leave for Lauterbrunnen (our base for B.O) around 2pm. Explore Lauterbrunnen and check into hotel for an early evening.
Sunday, Monday & Tuesday - Gimmelwald, Jungfrau, Trummelbach Waterfalls, Murren
* Need to figure out a way to get to Chur or St. Moritz to do Bernina Express on Wednesday
Wednesday - Bernina Express...Start at Chur or St. Moritz, lunch in Poschiavo, ending in Tirano. We don't have an interest in staying in these areas, mainly just want to do the B.E.
* We would like to go to Venice from here, but we're finding that we may only be able to go back through Milan and then on to Venice. Can anyone confirm/deny this?
Thursday - Venice
Friday - Venice - Night train to Salzburg
Saturday - Salzburg
Sunday - Salzburg/Hallstatt
Monday - Pick up rental car in Munich. Visit Oktoberfest (I have read that one day here is enough). Stay the night somewhere else...rooms were too expensive in Munich.
Tuesday & Wednesday - Germany
* Not sure what areas, but strongly considering Stuttgart and the Black Forest area since we would like to visit the Porsche museum
Thursday - Fussen - Neuschwanstein & Hohenschwangau Castles
Friday - Leave Fussen early to make 1pm flight out of Zurich
Are we trying to do too much? We've scaled our trip back quite a bit, and I would be heartbroken to miss out on some of these areas... but then again I don't want to kick myself later for not slowing down a little.
Does the order make sense? We thought about changing it go to St. Moritz first, then tack on the B.O. at the end to avoid some of the connection issues between the Berner Oberland to the Bernina Express, and Tirano to Venice. My concern is that we may spend an extra day here and there, and I don't want to cut short our time in the B.O. since we are most excited about visiting that area.
If we stick to the current order, do you have any suggestions for getting to the Bernina Express from the Jungfrau area? What about from Tirano to Venice?
Suggestions for a railpass? We considered the 3 country Eurail pass, but the trip from Venice to Salzburg would cost us more than just adding a 4th country (Austria). Also, since we will be doing most of our train travel in Switzerland, would it make more sense to get a Swiss Pass, and make other arrangements for the other train trips? I looked at the prices and wasn't impressed, so I honestly felt like the Eurail would be a better option. Thoughts or experience on this?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I think I'm starting to panic since our trip is 6 weeks away. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Re the Bernina. Am not sure why you are saying you have to "go back through" Milan (will you have been there already?) but yes. You will have to walk from the Rhaetian Railway station in Tirano across a small square to reach the Trenitalia station. You can see one from the other. From there you will need to take the train to Milan (a couple hours) and then from Milan take the train to Venice.
I can tell you from experience the Bernina Express route is filled with spectacular scenery and I would advise you to consider (strongly) getting seats in one of the First Class panorama cars (bigger windows and more room).
Are you planning to drive the car from Fuessen to Zurich? If so you may very well be looking at a hefty drop charge since you would be renting the car in one country and dropping it in another.
Now, one possibility (are you flexible????) would be to use the car to visit Fuessen and the castles FIRST and then drive to Stuttgart. You can get an early train (before 7AM) there to Zurich and be there in about 4 hours (you will have dropped the car in Germany).

It sounds really hectic and you are covering a lot of ground but if you like to travel fast, then that's your style. I think you would have a more relaxing holiday sticking to Switzerland and Germany and leaving Austria and Italy for another trip.
Check sbb.ch/en for Swiss trains. You could also consider the Swiss Half Fare card which gives you half price travel in Switzerland for a month.
Train timetables at trenitalia.com.
Also check you can travel from Fussen to Zurich in time for checkin. (I've no idea but it doesn't sound like a doddle.) German trains at bahn.de.
Good luck with your planning.
ps. Out of curiosity, just checked - 6hrs+ Fussen to Zurich.
Report Abuse
This is the scaled back version? WOW
I believe that you are underestimating distance and/or train travel times.
Tirano to Venice is a minimum 10 hour trip with 5 changes.
Venice to Salzburg night train either arrives at 04:09 or leaves at 01:13 - take your pick but at least it is only about 6.5 hours.
Fussen to Zurich Airport is almost 6 hours with at least 5 train changes. You have a couple of options, all leaving at 05:00 and arriving at 10:41 - 11:30
As for routing, Fussen should be slotted after Munich, then on to Stuttgart/BF.
Without being almost constantly on the move and having no more than 1 full day to see any particular place except the BO and Venice (after a 10 hour train trip and before a post midnight departure), this is an extremely ambitious itinerary.

Tirano to Venice IS NOT a minimum of 10 hours nor does it require five changes. It requires ONE change in Milan

"Are we trying to do too much?"
I think so. You have some pretty nice destinations overall but you'll be in transit too much of the time. The more miles you travel, the less you see and experience, as a rule, and since you already have some wasted transit time from and back to Zürich, it might be wise to streamline your route a bit.
"we don't have much of an interest in Zurich since there are so many other wonderful places to visit. "We are mainly interested in the B.O. area of Switzerland and the Bavarian porition of Germany."
You're probably right that there's no great reason to hang around Zürich. But the only places I see in your plan that are actually in Bavaria are Munich (for a few hours) and the overtouristed 19th-century palaces in Füssen.
Agree with Dukey1 that if you get a car in Germany (and I'm not clear why you'd want to do this in the first place since you only have 4 nights there in places like Stuttgart, Munich, and Füssen, which are all well served by train) it would be wise to drop it before entering Switzerland unless you want heavy drop-off fees, and it would be wise to do your Germany sightseeing - and your trip to Salzburg/Hallstatt, I think - before moving on to Switzerland.
You could then catch a flight from Venice to Zürich instead of training back north on a night train.
Stuttgart seems like a long way to go for a car museum, but if that's a must, you can get a Munich-Stuttgart ticket for two on the DB (german railways) site for 29€ on October 2. That would probably save you some time and money.
I like the Black Forest but if you want to see Bavaria, you might just lop off that part (and maybe Stuttgart too) as there's plenty closer to Munich to keep you busy. Visit Garmisch and Mittenwald south of Munich for scenery and a handsome Bavarian village. Include Berchtesgaden and the Königssee as outings on your Salzburg trip. Visit the Romantic Road towns of Harburg and Nördlingen, or see the handsome city of Regensburg - its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. (BTW, two can ride the rails between the German cities above - and Salzburg too - for 26€ per day on a Bayern ticket daypass: http://www.bahn.com/i/view/GBR/en/prices/germany/laender-ticket.shtml )
You might also toss in an outing from Salzburg to Hohenwerfen Castle in Werfen:
Best wishes for a good trip, whatever your choices.

Post your routing information please, Dukey.
www.bahn.com shows what I said,
www.trenitalia.com states "No Travel Solution Found"
Google Maps indicates pretty much exactly what Deutsche Bahn said - more than 10 hours and oodles of transfers.

Meanwhile, on another subject, do you have reservations for Oktoberfest? if not, you may find yourselves out of luck finding a place to stay and a place to drink beer.

Dukey1 - By back through I meant backtracking...sorry should have clarified. We are definitely flexible and have not made any hotel reservations yet. We wanted to only make a few reservations regardless (mainly just for the cities where we knew it would be more crowded) and then leave things flexible so if we wanted to change things on the fly we could. The rental car will stay in Germany, and will be dropped at our last stop in Germany before heading back to Zurich. Definitely don't want to pay the surcharge!
Dreamon - Would the Half Fare card be better than the Swiss Pass? The prices seem similar since Swiss Pass is offering the 2-1 deal right now, but are there any advantages of having the Half Fare over the Swiss Pass?
Aramis - Believe it or not, we initially had Paris, Rome and Prague on our wishlist...that was before I came here and realized I was out of my mind. We first aimed for night trains so we could save on hotel expenses, but the more we looked at things the more we knew we had to scale things back since we wouldn't leave ourselves enough time to enjoy our first trip to Europe. I'm thinking that we may still need to cut something, but we just can't decide where because all of these places were at the top of our list.
Russ - The Romantic Road was our original reason for opting for the rental car in Germany. Then we started looking into Stuttgart and the Black Forest, and became torn on which area to visit. My husband has always had a fascination with Germany and German cars, so that is why we prefer renting a car versus traveling via train. To see his face on the autobahns of Germany is well worth it to me.
Aramis - I believe this is the routing info Dukey was referring to:
You take the Regio from Tirano to Milano Centrale.
Your journey starts at Tirano on 26.09.12 at 17:10, you arrive at Milano Centrale is at 19:40.
Your journey continues by Eurostar Italia from Milano Centrale to Venezia S. Lucia.
Your journey starts at Milano Centrale at 20:05, you arrive at Venezia S. Lucia is at 22:40.
The total journey time is: 5:30
This connection runs daily.
The number of changes is: 1
Charnees - We do not have reservations for Oktoberfest yet. We know for sure we do not want to stay the night in Munich because of the crowds and the expense, so we will probably venture elsewhere. Do you think it would be wise to make reservations for tables or in the tents? Can you make reservations for those things?
Report Abuse
wrt to Swiss passes, the only way to figure out the best deal is to check point to point prices for your likely itinerary on the Swiss train website and compare them with having a pass. I didn't know that they currently have a 2:1 sale so that makes a difference. I travelled in Switzerland last year and didn't buy any pass at all because it was cheaper to use standard tickets for the journeys I was doing.
I know you're having trouble deciding what to drop but it seems that Venice is a long way out of your way and you'll have hardly any time there anyway.

Imagine your mother is on her deathbed when she announces, "I am leaving you all my journals but you must promise that you will not look at them until after I am gone."
"My mother left me her journals, and all her journals were blank," Terry Tempest Williams said while accepting the 18th Community of Christ International Peace Award. "We all begin with an empty page. Perhaps our most profound voice is found inside."
Williams, an author, native of Utah and fourth-generation member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, was honored with the award on Oct. 21 in Independence, Mo. An article was written about the event in the Blue Springs Examiner.

Members of the LDS Church were recently featured in The Daily Reveille, a student publication at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La. These members wanted to address confusing and inaccurate reports, as well as common stereotypes surrounding the church.
Bryan Saxon, a vocal performance senior who serves as elders quorum president in his single adult LDS ward, talked about Sabbath Day observance.
"We use the time to meditate and be with our families and to focus on God," he said in the article. "I try not to do homework on Sundays. It can be inconvenient because I may have something big due on Monday, but I keep Sunday to focus on reading scriptures."
Elder Benjamin Brockbank, a full-time missionary from Salt Lake City, decided to serve after several family members served missions.Comment on this story
"Our doctrine is truth from God," Brockbank told the student newspaper. "We invite everyone to experiment upon it and ask the Father in Heaven if it's true, and if it is, they will receive a witness."
Another member in New York, Juan Luis Peguero, was recently called to be the Young Men's president in his Brooklyn ward. Peguero was the subject of an article in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
"I love this program," Peguero said in the article. "I strongly believe that this program will help our youth to grow socially, academically and spiritually."

(Adds details)
SINGAPORE, March 17 (Reuters) - Taiwanese refiner Formosa Petrochemical has bought 12 million barrels of Iraqi Basra Light crude and its first Colombia Vasconia crude via tenders, trade sources said on Tuesday.
Royal Dutch Shell will deliver the Basra Light cargoes in six shipments between May and December, they said, at about 30 cents a barrel below the grade's official selling price (OSP) on a delivered basis.
The prices were very competitive when compared with a recent deal at parity to OSP for April delivery, traders said. An oversupply of crude has enabled the refiner to purchase cargoes months ahead at low prices.
Formosa also bought separately its first Vasconia crude cargo from European trader Gunvor at about $1.50 a barrel below Dubai quotes on a cost and freight (C&F) basis, the sources said. The 700,000-barrel cargo will be delivered to Formosa in May.
Formosa bought its first Oriente crude from Ecuador last year.
The Taiwanese company joins a growing group of Latin American crude buyers in Asia as they looked further west for cheaper oil. The arbitrage for Latin American grades to Asia had opened after U.S. crude futures fell to the lowest in more than a year against global benchmark Brent CL-LCO1=R.

Roger Federer admits that as his career match count increases, looking back on all of his success is occasionally becoming a bit fuzzy.
The Swiss, 28, has played more than 800 matches at the ATP level, winning nearly 600. With so many memories to choose from, his powers of selection are starting to kick in.
I'm getting to the point where I start forgetting matches now, you know, because I just have played so many," he confessed at the Montreal Masters. "I'm getting up there."
Take Luxembourg's Gilles Muller, whom he he faced at the US Open 11 months ago.
In the record books, Federer stood 2-0 in the series. But in his head, the pair had never played - or at least that's what Federer thought.
"For two days I said I never played the guy and I'm excited to play him for the first time, and then even when I was walking into the tunnel going into the match, you know, I never thought I played him before.
"And then I think (TV commentator John) McEnroe was making fun of me saying, I can't believe Roger makes a mistake, because the guy has played him twice before, once in Bangkok and once in Indian Wells."
Federer admitted: "I completely forgot those matches, that was when it must have started."
Regardless of the outcome of the final, the Montreal will be memorable for one statistical reason: for the first time in ATP history, the top eight players in the world all reached the quarter-finals at the same event, with Federer leading the way.
'Fedz has achieved much more than I'm sure he bargained for. The wins and defeats may just see him through with future endeavours. I do reckon as long as all sorts of opportunities are available in the world of the game, players should easily decide how they shall survive in the sport. It certainly hurts when the decision is not done with caution..'
Fedz has not really been at all successful until four or five years ago. I know, I did first see him about 2005 or 2004, and he might have just became World No.1. Then he sky-rocketed but it's now 2009 and he is very somewhat successful. I trust he will make the right decision and whatever happens, it really is how we take life that counts..'
tanna , 8/15/09 2:00 AM
....'Hold on little girl, . . . just joking...Frankly I'm just shocked this afternoon as I find out Roger's mother is of African ethnicity. How marvellous. Better luck next time to all those who lost greatly for the year/s'.

Two Kuwaiti men will be put on trial for negative tweets they made about ruling families in the region.
Reuters reports that the men insulted the ruling families of Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, as well as Kuwait's own emir on Twitter. They will both be held for over two weeks in detention until a hearing.
One of the men to be tried is Nasser Abdul, who we wrote about earlier this month when he was detained and sued for defamatory comments made about ruling families in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. At the time, he was being sued by a representative of one of the families he defamed in his tweets, although he denied actually tweeting them and blamed them on hackers when he was detained by the government. The other man to stand trial is Lawrence al-Rashidi who tweeted about Kuwait's emir.
Neither men has formally been charged with anything. An official told Reuters that they would likely be charged with "harming the Gulf Arab state's interests and defaming the country's ruler" at the hearing.
Twitter has been a powerful tool of democracy activists in Egypt, Iran and other countries in the region. However, governments have been quick to try to clamp down on social media if they sense that their people may revolt.

Former Presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton clasped hands with residents of one of Haiti's massive tent cities yesterday on a tour of its quake-devastated capital — and BBC footage of the meet-and-greet seems to catch Mr. Bush wiping his sweaty hand on Clinton's back.
The move came right after Bush shook hands with an unidentified Haitian man.
The two former leaders were tapped by President Barack Obama to spearhead U.S. fundraising for aid and reconstruction in Haiti after January's magnitude-7 quake, which killed an estimated 230,000 people. Another 1.3 million people are homeless, with many living in camps and temporary shelters prone to dangerous flooding in the April rainy season.
Clinton's Harlem-based foundation has donated more than 35,000 tents, 45,000 pounds of water and tons of medical supplies to Haiti as the nation struggles to shelter masses of people left homeless and injured.
This was Bush's first visit to the country since the earthquake, and speaking after a tour of the damaged presidential palace he said "It's one thing to see it on TV, it's another to see it firsthand."
While many of the homeless welcomed the presidents visit as a sign that the U.S. would continue to supply aid, some said they were disappointed the presidents did not bring anything more tangible.
"The visit is like no visit at all. They walked inside, it's to show off," said Rene Pierre, a 35-year-old homeless man.

The frustration felt by the Dallas Cowboys fan-base seems to be boiling over.
On Thursday, a website--and "a new movement"--was launched, called It's Jerry's Fault. Pretty much, the site is what it sounds like. Loyal but jaded fans can buy "It's Jerry's Fault" merch, take "the Jerry Poll" and express their personal frustration over losses via message boards. The front page of the site crows, in a not-so-subtle dig at the Dallas owner, that the movement is "More than a 'moral victory.'"
Here's some of what the site has to say about Jones:
"He wines us, he dines us, he charms the ever living stuffing out of us and boy do we fall for it. Why? Because we're true blue. We're loyal to the core, baby. He packages up his glittering promise and we bite only to find out it was an empty fork and we walk away thinking, 'Every time. He gets us every single time.'
"But no more! No, this year, we're taking the reins. We're going to shout it from our social media, sport our tees and tell everyone standing next to us in the checkout lines. Why? Because it's Jerry's fault."

LUN zoning
LUN zoning is a method of configuring storage area network (SAN) fabric to match logical unit numbers (LUNs ) so that end device access is limited to the appropriate storage devices. In this context, storage devices are known as logical units.
Cloud storage face-off: Public cloud vs. private cloud vs. hybrid cloud storage
Every cloud storage option has its pros and cons. Depending on your specific needs, the size of your environment, and your budget, it's essential to weigh all cloud and on-prem options. Download this comprehensive guide in which experts analyze and evaluate each cloud storage option available today so you can decide which cloud model – public, private, or hybrid – is right for you.

The logical unit number (LUN) is a unique identifier used to designate a logical unit, which could be an individual hard disk device or a group of devices. As a rule, end devices, such as hosts, can only see and access storage devices within their own zones. Limiting access in this way improves security and makes it possible to allocate bandwidth by assigning particular ports to a zone. Zoning can be used to isolate a single server to a specific logical unit or associate a group of servers with a logical unit.
In a SAN context, devices requesting input/output (I/O) operations are initiators and the devices that perform these operations are targets. Zoning is configured on a per-target and initiator basis and implemented at the hardware level, for example through a Fibre Channel (FC) switch. When implemented on a port basis, it's known as hard zoning. Soft zoning is implemented through World-Wide Names (WWN). A WWN is a unique identifier that is hard-coded into a Fibre Channel device. Any device with multiple ports has a WWN for each port, which enables more precise targeting.
LUN masking, a further constraint on zoning, subdivides port access so that only LUNs authorized to access a specific server can access the corresponding port.

The Band Perry Challenges Nick Saban in the Ice Bucket Challenge [VIDEO]
Subscribe to 95.3 The Bear on
As the ice bucket challenge continues to charge on across social media, we've seen many celebrities and musicians take part in the ice bucket challenge.
The Band Perry, which formed in Mobile, Alabama, took the challenge to raise awareness and money for ALS. After the first two members went, Reid Perry used the stage to challenge Alabama head football coach Nick Saban.
"Three kids from Alabama here," Reid Perry says in the video. "I want to nominate Nick Saban and the entire Alabama football team, Roll Tide."
Saban and his team finished up their second scrimmage of fall practice on Saturday, and while it's plenty hot for an ice bath, we doubt the super-focused coach will accept the challenge.

Success Stories
John* recently turned 65. He desperately wants to feel needed by his family, and he wishes they would call, but they never do. He is very much alone, on a limited income and suffers from depression. He doesn't trust people, but still wants to know that someone cares that he's alive. Since he has a limited income, it's difficult for him to do the things he would like to do, so he often spends his days struggling to find ways to pass the time.
The calls from the Caller Reassurance Program reassure him that someone cares that he is alive. For a few minutes, he is able to have a conversation with someone and feel connected to the world outside of his small apartment. Often the calls he gets from Caller Reassurance Program are the only ones he gets all week. The care providers encourage him to eat, take his medication on time and do some things that bring him pleasure or comfort. They remind him that he is important enough to invest time in himself.
Pam* has been dealing with mental illness for a good part of her life. Recently, she developed arthritis and has become very isolated and depressed. Even on good days, Pam's words can be hard to understand, and she complains that people often don't think of her as a human being. She has thoughts of suicide and believes the world would be better off without her. She sees no point in life, believing that she is too old to care about.
Caller Reassurance callers have taken the time to listen to her and really make an effort to hear her words and thoughts. They do their best to make her feel like she's worthwhile. For a few minutes each day, Pam is treated with dignity. The conversations she has helps her forget her pain for a little while, and she knows that the person on the other end of the call cares that she stays safe.
Clara* is in her sixties and suffers from severe depression, as well as anxiety about what she fears may happen in her future. When the Caller Reassurance Program phones her, she is often in the midst of an anxiety attack and feeling suicidal. She cries, "Nobody understands what I'm going through. I can't talk to my kids. They get angry with me. My friends are dead or have moved away. I don't know what I would do without the program. You have saved my life many times. Thank you for calling."

Release Date: 1969 |
Album Rating: 3.5Pretty good review. It is well-written, and informative. I would never buy this, as I have Gold, which is pretty much this album on steroids.
Album Rating: 3.5Yeah, if you've got the studio tracks, especially Badge on a compilation already, there's no point in picking this one up.
Fine review. For whatever, I really enjoyed watching you cut down Cream at various points. Which is odd, I really like Cream...
Album Rating: 3.5Probably the side-effects of the Reunion DVD.
Album Rating: 3.5I love Cream also, I'm just not a fan of their live stuff.
...and also, I just have to get this off my chest. "The Mysterious Angel" is lame pseudonym. George could come up with better, Im sure...
Album Rating: 3.5haha, he should've taken "Ron Mexico" while the getting was still good.
Great band. Their comeback was amazing but id wish they record some new stuff.
I beg to differ. I think that personal preference has a lot to do with how much you enjoy t his album. If you're looking for the psychadelic/rock Cream, yes you will be disappointed by the 3 live cuts, but if you're an electric blues/blues rock fan, I would say the tracks are absolutely great.
"I'm So Glad" has all three musicians exploring the limits of that arrangement of the song, pushing it to the farthest point that soloing will go to without becoming incoherent.
"Politician", as you said, is a great expansion on the studio version of the song. The band functions beautifully in its structure.
"Sitting On Top of the World" is probably my favorite Cream song, and I think this cut is an extraordinary stone-cold blues number. Clapton's intensity, I think, is matched by few.
This is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoys the long-winded jams, though. I always viewed The Cream as a bit more of a blues band than rock.
PS...I agree; "The Mysterious Angel" is pretty weak.
I could've gotten this on vinyl once, but from the songs I've heard it's not that great. "Badge" is cool though.
Badge is a fantastic song, but I've only heard the others a couple of times. It's the only Cream album I don't have and I doubt I'll buy it. Though I've never seen it in stores.
Album Rating: 3.5Am I the only person that likes "Doing That Scrapyard Thing"?
Album Rating: 3.5Ah. Well, still a good song.
Album Rating: 3.5I love Doing that Scrapyard Thing, it's great when they go falsetto.
Album Rating: 3.0Very well written review, this album is pretty much for the huge Cream fans only, but the live version of I'm So Glad is just awsome.
I got the beat of cream today so I'm gonna check it out before i consider any other cream albums.
Album Rating: 3.5beat fo cream
Album Rating: 3.5Goodbye cream is great far as the live tracks are concern but the studio stuff is kind of weak except badge which is a pretty cool clapton composition.

Detecting snails, slugs
Snails and slugs have been a problem all summer, advises The St. Johns County Extension Service.
Symptoms include plant leaves that look like they have been shot-gunned. Since slugs feed only at night, detection can be difficult.
Commercial baits are available for control. Or, you can try using beer placed in shallow containers on the ground. The beer attracts the pests and they fall in and drown. It will probably take several evenings to rid an area of them.
