Howley plays down Warburton omission
Wales interim boss Rob Howley does not believe the decision to omit Sam Warburton from his starting XV to face Italy will hurt the flanker's chances of captaining the Lions this summer.
Warburton missed the win over France after picking up a shoulder injury, but is expected to be available for the meeting with the Azzurri. However, Ryan Jones led the side superbly in Paris, while Justin Tipuric excelled in Warburton's favoured number seven role. As a result Howley has elected to name the same side that triumphed at Stade de France.
No longer being an automatic pick for Wales does not help Warburton's Lions cause but Howley, filling in for Warren Gatland while the Kiwi is away on Lions duty, does not believe his selection for the Stadio Olimpico clash will harm the 24-year-old's chances. "Not at all," said Howley.
"Although I think that is a question for Warren Gatland, not for me.
"But there have been many players not playing international rugby who have come into a Lions selection. So it is not a given that you have to be playing international rugby to go on a Lions tour, and it's not a given you have to be captain of your national team to be captain of the Lions."
Howley did not consult Gatland before making his decision on selection for the Italy game, but did back Warburton to bounce back and find his best form.
"Any decision you make on selection, you take your time and make sure you reflect properly after the game and think out the team and the consequences of those selections.
"In my mind it was clear that to give this side the best opportunity to go and play against Italy in terms of preparation and to reward performances on the weekend I had to go with the same side.
"I have spoken to Sam and he understands that's the nature of sport.
"I am sure Sam will be an excellent captain in his career, but for this game we decided to go with same 15. The pressure on this side for Italy is the same as it was going to Paris."

I am currently working on homework and I realized that I still don't understand how this works entirely with intermediates where intermediates are specific numbers that do not need to be stored in variables. In particular, I don't understand when it is fine to store the full 32 bits and when only 16 bits can be used for the register.
I also don't understand how you would access a dynamically calculated offset for an array. I computed the offset and stored it in a temporary integer, but I don't know how to apply the offset. Is it simple addition after multiplying the offset by 4 because it is made of integers.
How does storing data in registers work in assembly on MIPS?

The most I have done with MIPS was in C and that was a long time ago.
I think however that this would be like any architecture. If the processor / Architecture can support 32 bits then you can store in any of the many registers that MIPS has except, for the NULL register.
I think you should make something in C and open up GDB and traverse it and watch it work.
Here is my answer for compiling C on MIPS

Area: 25,713 sq km (9,928 sq mi)
Population (1997 est.): 1,984,000
Capital: Skopje
Chief of state: President Kiro Gligorov
Head of government: Prime Minister Branko Crvenkovski
Ethnic tensions were on the rise in Macedonia in 1997. Early in the year ethnic Albanian and ethnic Macedonian students demonstrated over the pros and cons of Albanian-language teaching at Skopje University's pedagogical faculty; in early May the Constitutional Court ruled in favour of Albanian-language instruction. That same month the government indicted officials of the predominantly Albanian towns of Gostivar and Tetovo for flying the Albanian national flag from public buildings illegally. The Assembly passed a law on July 8 enabling ethnic minorities to use their national symbols under certain circumstances but barring them from flying their flags from public buildings.
On the following day three ethnic Albanians were killed and dozens more were wounded in clashes with the police in Gostivar. Mayor Rufi Osmani was sentenced to 13 years 8 months in jail on September 17, convicted of "fanning national, racial, and ethnic intolerance, inciting rebellion, and disregarding the Constitutional Court" for allowing Albanian and Turkish flags to fly from the Gostivar town hall. Even while acknowledging the problems faced by the Albanian minority, in late September, Elisabeth Rehn, special envoy to the UN Commission on Human Rights, recommended that Macedonia be excluded from her mandate because of its improved human rights record.
Amid growing public dissatisfaction with the government, a major reshuffle took place on May 27. Among those replaced were Deputy Prime Minister Jane Miljovski and Foreign Minister Ljubomir Frckovski, both prominent reformers. Frckovski was replaced by Defense Minister Blagoj Hand-ziski, who was succeeded by Lazar Kitanovski.
Only minor economic changes were registered in 1997. The economy continued to grow, and inflation and the budget deficit remained acceptably low. Other indexes, such as Macedonia's trade deficit and un-employment, remained uncomfortably high, however.
In early March the national bank suspended operations of Macedonia's largest savings house, and as a result, about 30,000 clients lost an estimated total of $28 million-$80 million. The government promised compensation of $12 million, and trials of top financial officials began in October. In June the national bank depreciated the denar 16% against the German mark.
Tensions over the status of Macedonia's Albanian minority continued to prejudice relations with Albania. Macedonia's relationship with Greece was stable, and, even though the disputed issue of Macedonia's name remained unresolved, the year saw the first exchange of ministerial visits between the Balkan neighbours. In December the UN Security Council voted to extend the mandate for its peacekeeping force, UNPREDEP, to August 1998.
This article updates Macedonia, history of.

Discussion in 'Pro Match Results and Discussion' started by Gonzo_style, Jan 19, 2013.
Just the ones that benefit Djokovic Nothing else matters.
He really should have used his final challenge.
Yes he was. And these guys have the gall to say he lost. Hah! To who? The lines judge, not Djokovic!
35,247 posts of nonsense!
You are 4 foot 10 inches of the same.
Djokovic def. Wawrinka 1-6, 7-5, 6-4, 6-7(5-7), 12-10
Deal with it.
I disagree. In fact, it's 35,248 posts of substance!
Haha you're being ridiculous. You know what you're right!! That ball was in and Stan won the game. To go 5-4. But then what would've happened is Nole would've gone in beast mode earlier and won the next 3 games to win 7-5. So yeah the result wasnt what the actual result was.
Novak actually won the last set 7-5. That one bad call resulted in delaying Nole arriving on court. DAMN you Stan for not challenging.
It's 6-4 in the last set, actually. But sure, whatever makes you sleep better. Be happy and celebrate that the call was wrong, because that won Djokovic the match.
Right. Too bad Djokovic could only do that in your lala-land and not in reality, where Wawrinka won 6-4.
It's all about poly strings lol
But even if Stan challenged, they would have replayed the point and Djoker gets a first serve so who knows what would have happened. My point is that out call SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN MADE!! The ball was smack right on the line, not a sliver of the ball, but most of the ball was on the line! The linespeople at the Aus Open are all blind!! They make so many bad calls it's ridiculous!
Aren't you cute, laughing at your own "jokes".
Yeah, and smoking was once cool, too. Now people are finding out the same thing about poly strings.
Lmao I'm in lala land when you're the one claiming that what the result was wasn't the actual result. Clearly you're just trolling now so I don't know what I'm wasting my time for.
I'm not the one who lives in a fantasy world
The call beat Wawrinka, not Djokovic. That is a fact. I'm done with you all. There's nothing to argue about here. Facts are facts.
LOL...either trolling or out of medication.
I can't believe I took him seriously, either. There's no way anyone could say that without trolling. Now I feel bad for being trolled
I think you're confused about what facts are. The FACT is Novak won. And here's another one, you cannot be SURE about what would've happened if the ball hadn't been called out, you can predict it but you cannot be sure. Maybe in your "lala land" you can but in real life, you do NOT know what would've happened. That is a fact. I predict that had that rally continued Novak would've won even quicker and you predict that Stan would have won. These are not facts. I hope I've explained this all in a way that you will actually be able to comprehend
Damn I keep falling for the bait lol.
Can I just say that I KNEW that Stan had the chance to complete the upset prior to the start of the match. I know that you can think I'm talking bull now that the match has finished long time ago. But when I just saw the match up, I just thought 'this is it, if anything would see Djokovic losing this would be it'.
I love how people take tennis matches so seriously. oh noes my life is so affected.
ATP site on Novak's win
Djokovic Edges Wawrinka In Five-Set Thriller
As a big Novak fan, I am thrilled that he won that match. He is truly building a great legacy, with monumental matches. Having said that, it takes two players to put on an epic.
Stan was just majestic throughout that encounter. His sublime play at times made him look like a multi slam winner and world number one. A sensational performance that reminded me of one of my fav matches of all time, Nadal V Verdasco 09.
Stan stayed with Novak throughout, and pushed the defending champion to the brink, just as Murray and Nadal did last year. Novak, a true champion managed to fight his way to a win. A great display of heart and passion, from both players. And as Novak said, they both deserved to win that match, but there can only be one.
I am glad that Novak is alive, and I hope he gets enough rest and is ready for the upcoming challenges.
Says the person with a ****ed out username.
you guys really know how to suck the joy out of sport. we understood your respective positions on the line-call, result of the match and which of the player you admire about 35 pages ago.
yet you keep repeating yourselves drowning out any intelligent commentary or other posters sharing their views or asking questions. is there no end to your solipsism and self-centredness?
Ok I 'm a big fan of Djokovic, but I'm pretty gutted for Stan and actually a bit dissapointed. I didn't even see the match til the 4th set because I had a late night and expected the match to be over in a maximum of 4 sets and I couldn't be bothered getting upearly to see if it was on. Then had to go out so watched it on my phone in a pub.
But from what I saw and watching it back at home later, Stan played better and pretty much deserved to win the match. If that out call didn't get made in the 5th set at 4-4 maybe he wins that point, on a replay maybe he wins... he didn't get that bit of luck you need. Not only that but overall he showed massive heart and at times Djokovic seemed to just be hanging on.
Getting a little bit sick of the top player always pulling through in these cases. I mean I like Novak, I'm glad he's through but I want him to win because he deserves to win matches, because he plays the amazing tennis. But when the other guy plays the better tennis (I feel) then Djokovic winning feels like a bit of a hollow victory. I'm not saying Djokovic didn't dig deep and take the match, he did and congrats on doing it yet again and saving God knows how many virtual match points, but it's getting a bit wearing to see the top guys always win even when the other guy is playing lights out tennis.
The Nadal vs Rosol match was the only upset in recent times, and that shook things up a lot, If Djokovic had lost this match it would have been a big shake up instead of the same old story (though it would be an unbalanced draw)
I would now prefer either Federer to win this, or would be nice if it wasn't one of the top 4 and if so I would love to see Tsonga, Gasquet or even Raonic win. But realistically it'll be Djokovic, Murray or Federer. Djokovic should be out at this point leaving Federer and Murray as favourites. Question is now is if Berdych can run him close and then Ferrer gives him a tough match, will the stresses of 4 hard matches in a row begin to tell?
Towser welcome back! Why were you banned?
just the 2'035 comments on this match then ?...:shock:
Thanks Gonzo. Oh some trolls were insulting me and when I did it back, banned for "fighting"! Oh well have to laugh :lol:
Also have to say that Stan in his interview took the loss very well and Djokovic gave him a lot of compliments. Nice to see their mutual respect at the end of the match.
Match of the tournament so far.
Wait, you got banned? DAMN! Did it involve NSK/Clarky?
Agree, great match! Stan's interview is great also, better than Fed's in USO 2011
Djok has been coming off his high for a while (hard not to). Stan has been in the past #9, he appears to be headed back up (I think he had some domestic troubles after the baby arrived, now I understand he is back with his wife?) Today's match seems in keeping with what has been happening, regardless, in the long run, of a point or two today. And if I'm right look for Stan to do very well in the clay season.
That's just sad. People like NadalAgassi get away with anything and everything. I've never seen you post anything even mildly objectionable.
The moderators here are very weird. Apparently pretty ban-happy with me yet always_crosscourt is still trolling away till his heart's content.
Hey, can you please edit out my comment. I'll be banned if they read me complaining about how things are run. *whispers "dictators" and runs away*
I wouldn't say NadalAgassi posts ban worthy stuff. But other people get away with loads. Actually he did insult me a few times, so you're right. As I got banned for "fighting" I would assume so did one of the other people.. but probably not, even though I was just responding in kind. I did imply they were an idiot and had no brain, but they were pretty insulting saying i had brain damage (hence my comment about them having no brain to damage)
Oh well i shouldn't bother with some people.
I went to bed after that utter choke in the second by Wawrinka. That was truly pathetic how he fell apart from 6-1 5-2 up. I am shocked he managed to regroup and make it so close in the end.
Good on him for playing a great match. And good for Djokovic to eke out another close one.
However, the cowardice of the underdogs against the big 4 is unbelievable! Makes Rosol's performance against Nadal even more impressive. He was actually tough as nails, whereas most of these other guys don't have the belief. Wishing for some more surprises in tennis, because its getting too predictable.
Really? Everyone uses the term **** though. That seems very unfair on you cos everyone would be banned by that rule. And yeah NadalAgassi does call people idiots and stuff and I'm pretty sure I only do that if someone has called me it first, yet I got banned. Probably cos someone can't take what they dish out and reported it.
Anyway, be careful with your posting haha.
First i thought you are a Nadal fan, later I thought you were a Djokovic fan but now I am convinced you are a Federer hater.
I don't get how the banning works over here. Over the last month or so I have unleashed some harsh insults towards some of the ones I got beef with, and frankly it was probably ban worthy, but maybe cause it was directed at clearly biased, trolling fools it's been forgiven. I get easily riled up though, so people like kik, Thundervolley, Terrastar, 90's clay can easily get under my skin posting blasphemy material.
haha I got banned for retaliating against 2 of those people. So you just must be lucky
Slight change of subject how did your gig at the Doghouse go?
It closed down recently. Shame.
Fun match, just wished Nole played a bit better.
Special shoutout to haters whining about tennis players celebrations, never change TTW.
The thing which strikes me as counter-productive with Wawrinka - and it showed in this match - is he often shifts to hit backhands off balls which are coming straight at him. I know he is more comfortable hitting them but he should be hitting forehands. I don't think I've ever seen someone move around their forehand to hit a backhand before.
No matter how comfortable he is hitting backhands you simply can't get the mixture of power and torque, or disguise that you can when hitting a forehand - plus, because most of his shots went back towards his opponent's backhand side he was 2m further to the right of the court and further out of position for the most likely return shot from his opponent - the crosscourt. He bungled a number of rallys yesterday doing this - a couple on very key points too. It seems more habit than deliberate and doesn't usually serve him well.
He is weird with that. The funny thing is Stan has a powerful crosscourt forehand that wins him tons of points when he goes to it.
oh cheers for asking mate, yeah I really loved the venue, a real shame about it closing down Glag I got to play there though.
Gig went alright, had some technical issues though and I was bleeding knackered so I wasn't as on it as the other gigs but still a top night. Had a good sound man, friendly people running the place, great crowd. Had a great time up in Scotland.
+1. I woke up early and started watching at 430AM Pacific time off the DVR. It was time to go play after the 2nd set. Like you I expected Stan to lay down. When I drove to the courts I decided to pull out my iPhone and check the score. Couldn't believe it. Got home after my tennis and watched the last 3. Epic.
So much for theory that the only good matches involved the top 4...

The Abernathys don't mean any harm by their flirtation with the underworld, but when they unknowingly call forth Satan himself, they create a gap in the universe. A gap in which a pair of enormous gates is visible. The gates to Hell. And there are some pretty terrifying beings just itching to get out....
Can one small boy defeat evil? Can he harness the power of science, faith, and love to save the world as we know it?
Bursting with imagination, The Gates is about the pull between good and evil, physics and fantasy. It is about a quirky and eccentric boy who is impossible not to love, and the unlikely cast of characters who give him the strength to stand up to a demonic power.
John Connolly manages to re-create the magical and scary world of childhood that we've all left behind but so love to visit. And for those of you who thought you knew everything you could about particle physics and the universe, think again. This novel makes anything seem possible.

"The Demon Under the Bed"
A little bit cute, a little bit silly, a little bit LOL. This missed a fifth star by just a few giggles. Up until John Scalzi I did not believe I liked Sci-Fi/ Fantasy Humor books. Kurt Vonnegut and Douglass Adams had turned me off to such books. I like Terry Pratchett a little better, but not enough to keep me buying his books.
This stars an eleven year old and if your child is good with R.L. Stine, then I believe he/she will enjoy the book. I am not saying it is a children's book and I believe all ages will enjoy it. One of the side characters is Boswell the dog. Putting a dog in a story always makes the whole story better. Boswell is a great character in especially that he does what a dog does and nothing else. There are several side characters and a lot of them are demons. I really like the demon under the bed. The heroes of this book are the kids and a demon.
I first meet JC when I read The Book Of Lost Things and that is still my favorite JC book. I did not like so much The Unquiet or The Reapers, but this book has made me want to explore his writing some more.
If you like Fantasy with humor and if you like when Good beats Evil, then you will really like this book.
"Paging Tim Burton"
Fans of John Connolly's Charlie Parker series don't need to be told what a gifted writer and storyteller he is, but The Gates will come as a delightful surprise. The Parker novels examine the very nature of evil in men and its insidious roots in the human soul, giving life to villains so twisted that one has to wonder at the inner workings of the mind that created them. The Gates doesn't answer that question, but it does provide a peek at the side of Connolly that allows him to wander around freely without someone trying to lock him up just in case there's any part of him that is what he writes.
The hero is 11-year-old Samuel Johnson, an odd and inquisitive boy living in the quaint English village of Biddlecombe. The fun starts when the neighbors at 666 Crowely Rd., looking for something to do on a boring evening, open The Gates of Hell. Not intentionally of course, but these things can happen if you bring home odd, old books from the used book store written in languages you don't recognize, dress up in black robes and mutter incantations.
Meanwhile . . . on the other side of the world scientists in Europe are tinkering around with the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator designed to smash protons together with the hope of discovering the existence of other dimensions. Something goes horribly awry and the two events coincide to threaten to "end the world as we know it." Samuel happens to be peaking in the basement window when the Gate emits its first blue twinkle of evil and charges himself with the task of shutting back up the Gates.
The witty, wry prose is brought vividly to life by gifted narrator Jonathon Cake, whose portrayal of Connolly's imaginative cast of quirky (and mostly incompetent) demons, monsters and townsfolk sets a perfect stage for wonderful theater of the mind.
This book will delight both children and grownups and I thank Mr. Connolly for reminding me of the child inside that can still giggle out loud.
This is just the most delightful story I've read in such a long while. I love John Connolly's other work but this is a very special book and the narration is fantastic. I don't think reading it would be even half as entertaining and laughter-inducing if it weren't for the masterful work of Jonathan Cake. I'm on my third listen and I can't say enough good things about it. I especially like the footnotes. Very Monty Python-esque at times.
"The Gates - What a ride!"
My wife and I thought this was one of the most entertaining audiobooks to listen to driving between home and work. It's a a real joy ride, and the reader is thoroughly entertaining. Great character voices!
Simply delightful, clever, witty, creepy and engaging. I loved every moment of this book. Elegantly written, hilarious dialogue and an amazing performance by Jonathan Cake.
"I always knew physics was Hellish"
This was a very entertaining story that is somewhat Gaiman-esque in it's ability to appeal to adults as well as the younger audience it obviously targets. The young hero is is quite likable and very resourceful. The demon Nurd is terrific comic relief and I just loved the brave little dog Boswell. The footnotes sprinkled throughout added some interesting information as well as much of the wry humor. If my high school physics teacher had been half as entertaining in his lessons I might have actually learned something and gotten a better grade.
Not quite 5 stars for the lack of fully developed supporting cast, but still a very worthy read appropriate for the whole family, especially with Jonathan Cake's outstanding narration.
"Entertaining Fantasy Novel: Great for a Young Teen"
I would have loved this as a 13-year old. I still enjoyed it as a 48-year old :)
This was a very clever and entertaining book with just enough comedy, intrigue and mystery woven in to make it enjoyable for all ages.
Those who don't enjoy fantasy or science fiction stories may not like it, in my humble opinion; but, if you enjoy those genres, and can set your mind to listen to a "Ghostbusters" type of story for 7 hours, then I believe you will very much enjoy this one.
Overall, the book is well written and very well narrated.
I recommend this one if you like this genre.
Hysterically entertaining listening.
Nerd's encounter with the policeman while driving his Porsche.
Had not heard him before on an audiobook, although had seen him in movies. He was very good in this.
I laughed all the way through.
I can totally imagine this as a Brit's reaction to an invasion from hell. The demons hadn't a chance.
I have recommended this audiobook to friends! It's great fun, packed with wonderful characters (the demon Nurd is one of my favorites), and the narration absolutely makes it.
The characters, and the footnotes (yes, the footnotes!) - very funny, yet still true to the facts they convey (science, history, etc.).
No, but I will!
Yes, although I didn't have time to do that, so it took 3 sittings.
Already a fan of John Connolly's thrillers, and now sold on his ability to write humor.
Loved this. Just a "cute", funny book which is odd since it is about the gates of hell.
The narrator was superb! I can't say enough. The narrator was very lively and he knew the book as if he wrote it.
I just finished the book last night and already bought the sequel.

text: I just wanted to point out that there is more than one way to skin a cat (no pun intended).. and that even though DD has been struggling rushing.. he has been superb when it comes to catching balls out of the backfield. DD currently has 26 receptions for 250 yards.. at a 9.6 yards per reception average... over the course of 6 games LT has 23 receptions for 209 yards at a 9.1 yard per reception average... over the course of 8 games So, DD is doing a better job of receiving than LT .. especially when you consider that, while he played in 6 games.. he probably has only played the majority of the time in 3 or 4 of them. Obviously he isnt rushing as well as LT, but my point is that even though he isnt rushing as well, he has still been a big part of our offense.. and has been making plays for us. BTW.. just to put it in perspective. I used LT as an example because he is an RB known for rushing and catching balls out of the backfield. However, the Vikings are the kings of dumping it off to their RB, and lead the league in that stat. Mewelde Moore in 6 games has 27 receptions for 238 yards, at an 8.8 average. and Onterrio Smith in 3 games has 15 receptions for 223 yards, a 14.9 average. Oh.. and as long as ive started a thread on this. Tony Hollings. 2 receptions for 30 yards, 15.0 average. 9 carries for 32 yards, 3.6 average (better than davis or wells). WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE MORE OF HOLLINGS!!!!!

Published in the May 11 issue of The Blood-Horse
This Kentucky Derby (gr. I) and Preakness Stakes (gr. I) winner doesn't come from the school of hard knocks; he comes from the school of hard nucks. War Emblem was bred and raised at Nuckols Farm near Midway, Ky., an operation headed by one of the last true Kentucky hardboots, Charlie Nuckols. Officially, that's Charles Nuckols Jr., but the 79-year-old horseman prefers Charlie. Nuckols is in the third phase of his career with Thoroughbreds. He began with his father, the late Charles Nuckols Sr., then operated for many years with his late brothers, Hiram and Alfred, and now is joined by his sons, Charles III "Nucks" and Jim. The constants have been: the land, a 1,100-acre tract that has been in the family for over 100 years; an affinity for raising good horses, with over 300 stakes winners bred by Nuckols, his father, his sons, and many clients; and a strong character, Nuckols saying in a recent interview, "...my word is my bond. Whatever I say is what I'm gonna do." For half of his life, Nuckols has been tending to the broodmare band owned by 85-year-old Chicago industrialist Russell Reineman. Under a longstanding agreement between the two friends, the mares are leased by Nuckols, thus the foals produced from Reineman's mares are listed as bred by Nuckols. For many years they were listed as bred by Nuckols Brothers, and now, like War Emblem, as Charles Nuckols Jr. and Sons. Those that make the races do so in Reineman's name and colors. These days, approximately 30 Reineman-owned mares reside at Nuckols Farm. War Emblem's dam, the Lord At War mare Sweetest Lady, is not among them. She died from foaling complications at age 11 in 2001, having produced only four foals. Also grazing the pastures at Nuckols Farm are 35 mares owned by the family and another 40 owned by other clients. The Nuckols/Reineman association began after Russell Reineman's brother, Howard, sold his Crown Crest Farm near Lexington. Howard Reineman and his wife, Helen, purchased 1,100-acre Almahurst Farm No. 2 from Henry Knight in 1951. A few years later, they sold that farm and purchased 378-acre Woodvale Farm from the estate of Royce Martin. "At that time, Russ tried to get Bull Hancock to take his horses," Charlie Nuckols remembered of Russell Reineman's decision to talk with A.B. "Bull" Hancock, the owner of Claiborne Farm. "Bull was full, so he recommended me." In a 1957 article in the Lexington Herald-Leader, Howard Reineman, then relatively new to the Thoroughbred business, said, "I'd like to breed a horse that can win the Kentucky Derby." In 2002, his brother, with a mare he owns but leases to Nuckols, did just that. Nuckols came close to etching his name in Derby lore once before: Nuckols Brothers bred No Le Hace, who ran second to Riva Ridge in 1972. Wise Times, who ran ninth for Reineman in 1986, was also bred by Nuckols Brothers. Wise Times stood at Nuckols Farm until being exported in 1996; he was by the farm's now-deceased stallion Mr. Leader. Three stallions currently stand at Nuckols Farm: Home At Last, Jambalaya Jazz, and Stalwart. The first Derby starter bred in the family name was Alamond, who was bred by Charles Nuckols Sr. and ran sixth in 1946, the year the race was won by eventual Triple Crown winner Assault. Sir Bee Bum, who ran 15th in 1951, was bred by Charles Nuckols Sr. and Sons. The first mating Nuckols ever did for Reineman produced 1962 co-champion juvenile filly Smart Deb. Among the others bred by the farm are champion older mare Typecast, sprint champions White Skies and Decathlon, and European champions Habitat and Broadway Dancer. Nuckols watched the Derby at his Midway, Ky., home with his daughter, Judy. He recently fell and injured his rotator cuff and is undergoing therapy three times a week. Because of some soreness, he preferred not to battle the Derby Day crowd. "He was just a clean, sound colt," Nuckols remembered of War Emblem's early days on the farm. His son, Nucks, keeps a book on each foal in which he lists their ailments. War Emblem's page is blank. "That's rare," the younger Nuckols said. "They all have something you note. War Emblem was uneventful...no problem foaling; a big, strong looking colt; no problem as a foal or yearling; never sick." Watching the race, the elder Nuckols said he knew early he was about to become the breeder of a Derby winner. "When he hit the half-mile pole, I knew they wouldn't catch him," he said. "They said no one went with him, but they all had a chance to go with him." In his farm office, Nuckols has a funny statuette of an amusing looking jockey astride a buck-toothed horse. The Thoroughbred is draped in a blanket of roses. "There was a contractor who had worked on the farm and he loved horses," he said. "He would always ask me, 'How many Derby horses have you bred?' I would say, 'None.' He gave me this and said, 'That's the closest you're gonna come to raising a Derby winner.' " That was true until May 4, 2002.

Too often of late you have chased dreams that other people have set for you when you should have been chasing the one dream that means something to you. The message of the stars on your birthday is to just be yourself. You can still make your dream a reality.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Keep your ideas simple today, because the more complicated your plans get the more likely it is they will end in failure. You really don't need to do anything out of the ordinary at the moment. Just be yourself – that's more than enough.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You need to give others the impression that you are not the sort who can be easily manipulated. Act tough today, even if you don't feel tough inside, because the first impression you give others is the impression that will last.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You can usually be counted on to act rationally, but the planets will make that more difficult than usual over the next 24 hours. If you find yourself getting emotional for no good reason remind yourself of all the things you have to be thankful for.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
There are times when you need to spend some time alone and such a time is now. You have a lot to think about and you can't think straight with so much noise going on around you. Find a quiet space you can call your own.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
If your inner voice tells you something today you must not ignore it. No matter what everyone else may be doing if it does not feel right to you then give it a miss. It's unlikely you'll regret it and you may even gain.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You may be finding it hard to keep up with certain developments but who says you have to? Stay where you are and don't start anything new today. You will get your chance to shine when the sun enters your sign on the 23rd.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Don't try to stop a friend or relative from doing something you do not approve of. Most likely it will make them even more determined to do it, just to annoy you. The only person you should be concerned with is yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
Don't give up on something just because you have grown bored with it. Certain tasks may be a bit of a grind but that does not mean they have to be tedious. Use your intelligence to find ways to spice them up a bit.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
The planets warn if you stick your nose in someone else's business you may have trouble getting it out again. Do you really want to spend your time sorting out other people's problems? Focus on what you enjoy and ignore everything else.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
You appear to have pushed yourself a bit too hard, physically and mentally, of late and now you are beginning to feel the effects. If that's the case then you must give yourself a break. Never mind about your work – it can wait.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
No matter what mistakes you have made you must forgive yourself and move on. It would also be a good idea to forgive others for the mistakes they made that affected you. Grudges don't just hold others back, they hold you back too.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Sometimes you can be rather stubborn and that could be a problem today if you refuse to abandon an idea that clearly is no longer worth defending. Times change and you should be big enough and smart enough to change with them.

Saint Laurent at work in his studio, 1976. Photo: © Fondation Pierre Bergé – Yves Saint Laurent, Paris/Guy Marineau.
Soggy Seattle sits about five thousand miles away from Paris, the City of Light, a distance that will be temporarily bridged with the opening of "Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style," at the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). The exhibit, curated by Florence Müller with SAM's Chiyo Ishikawa, spans the designer's nearly 50-year career and features pieces from the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, including some new, never-seen-before acquisitions. One can't help but feel the choice of setting is particularly apt: Seattle is the birthplace of grunge, a trend that initially seemed like a blip on the fashion radar, but which has come to define Postmodernism in dress. (During his tenure at Yves Saint Laurent, Hedi Slimane riffed on the grunge look more than once.) In contrast, Saint Laurent, who Vogue dubbed, "the genius of style," is credited with making fashion modern. This the designer did in aesthetic and structural ways. An early proponent of ready-to-wear, he launched his Rive Gauche line in 1966, six years after being shown the door at Dior for designing a trickle-up collection inspired by Left Bank Beat street culture that included a mink-lined crocodile jacket (which arguably inspired the moto toppers Maria Grazia Chiuri just showed at Dior).
Though Saint Laurent grew increasingly reclusive with age, through the 1980s his finger seemed to be on the pulse, and he never shied away from controversy, whether he was translating art into fashion or putting women in pantsuits, tuxedos, transparent shirts, and body jewelry signed,"Lalanne." As Saint Laurent pushed fashion forward, he drew women closer. He did so by keeping them always in his line of sight, a lesson that designers in these selfie-rich, social-media-obsessed days could learn from. "If one tries to impose one's own interests ahead of those of women, one's own fantasies, one ends up with disguises," Saint Laurent told Vogue in 1983. "It means keeping a little distance from the thing you create, pushing it toward others, toward the woman."
"Yves Saint Laurent: The Perfection of Style" is on view at the Seattle Art Museum through January 8, 2017, after which it will travel to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

I'm beginning to think reportbug is going to be the solution to this. I've created a generic menu.lst, run update-grub numerous times, reinstalled grub2, replaced it with grub-legacy, ... The suggested "grub-config" doesn't exist (apt-file search doesn't find it), update-grub complains bitterly about the ptns: [ 1326.943454 ] UFS-fs error (device hda1): ufs_check_page: \ bad entry in directory #2 ... ... I've added OBSD to /etc/grub.d/40_custom ... No joy. On top of that, once logged in via gdm, my mouse goes invisible. Great. Classic "Debian gotcha's". Exactly why I want to run testing on my sandbox. :-) Neither grub2 nor grub-legacy ever offer OBSD as a boot option. I'd be happy to go forward w grub2 if I can get it to work. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Alexander Selkirk
The remarkable survival tale of Alexander Selkirk is the most likely source of inspiration for Daniel Defoe's fictional "Robinson Crusoe," making it one of history's most legendary castaway stories. Interestingly, Selkirk is a rare example of a person who willingly become a castaway. He chose to remain on Juan Fernández Island, just off Chile, after expressing doubts about the seaworthiness of the ship that brought him there. Before his rescue, he spent more than four years alone on the island, where he learned to live off the land.
Though he had great bouts of loneliness and remorse while stranded, Selkirk made the correct decision. The ship he chose to abandon, Cinque Ports, sunk off the coast of Colombia not long after it left the island.

Having made his Major League debut in 2001, new bullpen acquisition Joaquin Benoit has a wealth of experience to offer the Padres. He brings something even more important to a young pitching staff: a history of playoff success.
The 36-year-old right-hander has been in the postseason four years straight, the last three making deep runs into October with the Detroit Tigers – who come to town tonight for a weekend series at Petco Park.
To put it into perspective, his 20 playoff appearances are seven more than the rest of the Padres staff combined.
"It's a playoff mentality," he said of pitching on the big stage. "You just have to do your job. If you have the mindset on the small things, everything will take care of itself. Some things you can teach, but some things just come with experience."
Those appearances include three trips to the American League Championship Series and two scoreless outings when the Tigers were swept at the hands of the San Francisco Giants in the 2012 World Series.
He served as the closer for the Tigers last year, racking up 24 saves in 26 opportunities with an impressive 2.01 ERA. He also saved three games in the postseason, but is probably most known for his ill-fated grand slam served up to Boston slugger David Ortiz that got the eventual World Series champion Red Sox back in the ALCS.
Like any good reliever, Benoit doesn't dwell on what has already happened.
"That's over. Baseball is a present game. You can't be living in the past," said. "It's baseball. It's part of the game. That pitch is not coming back."
Now he's in San Diego, enjoying his role as mentor to a very young pitching staff.
"He adds another weapon to our bullpen," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Age wise in his career he brings a great deal of experience to our staff. He's a great sounding board for guys like (Nick) Vincent and (Donn) Roach."
He also has a new role – same as the old role for much of a 14-year career – as a setup man. It's something Benoit relishes.
"I really enjoy it. It's where I feel I can help the team," he said. "To get to the ninth, you gotta have a clean eighth."
As he heads into the latter portion of his career, he has become more realistic about his goals for the season.
"I'm really trying to keep myself healthy," said Benoit, who has made at least 55 appearances in all but one season since 2006. He has already taken the mound four times for the Friars this year – three of them scoreless outings. "I just want to try to help the young guys and myself."
He downplays a reunion with his old teammates from Detroit.
"It's baseball. It's normal to get to see the guys you played with," he said. "I'm gonna have time to chat and to catch up. But it's part of the game. I just enjoy the ride."
Padres fans can only hope the ride includes extending that playoff streak another year.

One in four transgender people have been assaulted or harassed in a bathroom in the past year, according to striking new data from the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey.
A statement by LGBT groups calling for such decriminalization was retweeted this afternoon.
A new study from the National Center for Transgender Equality highlights the imperative for immigration reform to consider the struggles faced by undocumented transgender people.
The new directive from Immigration and Customs Enforcement prescribes that solitary confinement be used only as a last resort and requires special reporting when LGBT prisoners are placed in such segregation.

Texas Shootout is a modified derivative of popular poker games "Texas Hold'em" and "Pineapple". The game is played at a blackjack-style table, using six standard decks of 52-cards each, dealt from a shoe by a house dealer. After all players have placed their wager, the dealer deals to each player position and to themselves, four cards face down. Each player determines which two of their four cards they wish to play and discards the two unused cards. Then the dealer exposes the house hand and determines which two of the four cards they will play according to a predetermined "house-way" strategy.
Next, the dealer deals five cards, face up, in the center of the table. These five cards are common cards and, in addition to their two-card hand, are used by all players and the dealer to make the best possible five-card poker hand. The object of the game is for the player to have a higher ranking hand then the dealer.
If a player has a higher hand then the dealer, they are paid even money on their wager. If the player's hand is lower than or equal to the dealer's hand, the player loses their wager.
There are two variations to the basic game play described above.

Sequential LED driver.
Hello all, so what I'm needing to build is a simple way to drive around 500 LEDS in sequence. About 100 steps in 5 channels. I was thinking of using a simple RC network to turn on the gate of a transistor after a determined amount of time and just building a few hundred of those- each increasing in delay time, but would that work? Is there another simple way? I was also thinking of using the standard 555 driving decade counters cascaded. This does not have to be a precision thing, it's a one shot deal. Ideas? Thanks!

I had looked at this very page, but what I need is a "bar graph" effect- all previous LED's staying on as the next lights up. But thanks for the post! If there was a way to make the shift registers leave thier outputs on as they cycle through I would use them.

Led Bargraph
There are many diagrams around for LED bargraphs using comparitors. 10 step ones. You just need to take one of those, and put in a whole lot more comparitors and divide the voltage steps a lot more finely in the reference ladder.
I hope someone is paying you well for this.

Thanks Dan, that's what I think I'm going with. There is a schematic for a circuit using 5 3914's cascaded in a new thread for it named "Help with this schematic?", but I'm not sure if it will work as I have not used them in bargraph mode cascaded. This is for a brother, so no, no money exchanged.

500 LED or 50 LEDs?
Even a 50 step LED meter is finer a resolution than you can possibly use. The lights jump around too much for any more than 20 to be useful. Actually, if you ised a single LM2914 but put 2 LEDs on each step he would not likely know the difference.
That is, you are building an audio meter? Then the LM3916 is the one to use. The LM3914 is for a linear meter.
If he needs more than 20 or 30 steps, and the reading is steady enough to use then mayby a digital panel meter would be better.
Really think if you need this much resolution on a freebieproject. At least get you brother to mount all the LEDs and wire them up.

If you're just after an up-down column of lights with stacked LM3914's, a 0-10V signal will easily light 100 leds.
The most basic circuit is a 1.25V range, but it's easy to adjust for higher or lower sensitivity by tapping off the internal regulator. Check the datasheet, it's well covered.

While the 3914 is a nice compact way to drive 10 Led's, I get the impression (from your initial suggestion of an R-C timer circuit) all you need is a sequential string of LED's that light up, not an actual LED meter or anything fancy. You also mentioned "5 channels" which I assume means you need each step to light 5 LED's at once. That may be more current than the 3914 can handle.
Another approach would be to use SCR's. You can get "sensitive gate" SCR's fairly cheap, and trigger them using the series resistor and parallel capacitor idea you talked about. You wire it so once one SCR turns on, it's output not only lights the next step of LED's but provides the source for the next SCR's gate, through another resistor/cap delay of course. And since SCR's lock ON once triggered, they will stay lit until you drop power.
The advantage of SCR's is they will handle much more current than the 3914. The disadvantage is they are discrete devices (more wiring) and you are limited to the "turn on" sequence, they won't "back down" like the 3914 will.
It's just another option. Here's a cheap source for SCR's that would work. They're 10/$1 and handle 800ma, with the sensitive gate you'd want for such a circuit. http://sales.goldmine-elec.com/prodinfo.asp?prodid=6622

modifry, that's a really good idea, I wouldn't have thought of it. I won't be doing the construction, so in theory I can make it all discrete if I want. However the 3914's would be a fraction of the parts count. I'm looking at 50 steps X 5 with one led on each output, so 250 leds driven by 5 sets of 5 3914's, each with independant input signals. It's gonna come down to cost (as always) so I'm gonna plot out each idea and see what's most economical. Thanks!

cpemma, the datasheet is what I used to build this schematic, but is this the correct way to cascade them? The data sheet only touches on using these cascaded in bar graph mode unfortunately. Oh, and just fyi, this is for an effect of vains of light shooting up a tree from botton to top for a musical production. It's for my bro who is a lighting designer. The leds don't have to cycle back down- just up so modifrys scr idea would work fine but the 3914's do have a much lower parts count. Thanks!

AMHERST — Lorain resident Nicola Wade was killed around 6:10 p.m. Wednesday in the 1300 block of Cooper Foster Park Road after being struck by a van.
Wade was walking east in front of Rehabilitation Services Inc. at 1317 Cooper Foster Road when she was struck by an eastbound Ford Ventura van, according to police Sgt. Mark Cawthon. The accident occurred between Linn Road and Oberlin Avenue.
Cawthon wouldn't release the name of the 22-year-old driver and said police haven't decided whether she will be charged.
Police are expected to release the name of the driver today and said she is a Lorain resident.
Wade, 38, of 1508 Herbert Drive, died of blunt trauma to the chest and stomach, according to Dr. Stephen Evans, Lorain County coroner. Cawthon said that when officers arrived, people at the scene were administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but Wade was unconscious.
He said Wade was pronounced dead at Mercy Regional Medical Center in Lorain.
Cawthon said the preliminary investigation found no indication that the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Toxicological tests will be done on Wade to determine if alcohol or drugs were in her system.
Cawthon said police interviewed witnesses but haven't determined if Wade was walking on the shoulder or in the road or trying to cross the road.
The passenger side of the van's windshield was shattered from hitting Wade, and the passenger's side headlight was broken and the bumper damaged.
Cawthon said he didn't know how far Wade was thrown by the impact of the collision, which knocked off Wade's boots and hat. They lay by the side of the road about 30 yards from where the van was stopped about an hour after the crash.

Some of us go to the movies to escape into fantasy, others to cry at tragic drama. Then there are those who just enjoy a couple hours of shock treatment. Maybe it's cathartic, or maybe it's just sick, but it was unquestionably a good year for connoisseurs of the grotesque. Here are our favorite moments:
Finger paining: For all the elaborate death traps in Saw II, the most intense scene occurs when the cop played by Mark Wahlberg decides to break the Jigsaw Killer's fingers. Tobin Bell's acting sells the pain better than any contraption.
Method acting gone wrong: George Clooney's separation from his fingernails in Syriana was seriously wince-inducing. Falling to the ground later in the scene, he really injured his back.
Disgusting things
Barrels of fun: We're used to seeing shotgun blasts in movies, but seldom with the visceral splatter that accompanied Ed Harris' demise in A History of Violence.
Everything Zen? Don't think so! Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale played a demon in Constantine, and ended up getting his face melted. Everyone who listened to music in the mid-'90s rejoiced.

Hammer time: Oldboy not only showed how to take on a corridor full of thugs armed with only a hammer -- it also demonstrated how to extract teeth with same. Now that's versatility.
Family recipe: The opening credits haven't finished rolling on the Japanese horror anthology Three . . . Extremes before we see, in graphic detail, the "secret ingredient" of Bai Ling's dumplings. You guessed it: aborted fetuses.
"I take his weapons. Both of them": What to do when confronted with a mutated, yellow-skinned rapist? If you're Bruce Willis in Sin City, you take his knife, then rip his nuts off with your bare hands.
"I want to eat something alive": In Oldboy -- a movie that centers on a plot to trick a man into committing incest, and also involves tongue slicing and amateur dentistry -- the most memorably disturbing scene was also one of the simplest. Our hero Oh Dae-su, freed from years of captivity, enters a sushi bar and scarfs down a live, wriggling octopus. Four cephalopods gave their lives for this scene, and live octopus tentacles briefly became a dining fad in Hollywood. Very briefly.

[1]Another electric car company has failed[2].
On Wednesday, Coda Holdings sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware. The company, which says it owes creditors $100 million, but has assets worth only $50 million, is looking to sell its remaining assets to an investment group, Bloomberg noted.
With the backing of billionaire Philip Falcone and former U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Coda raised $320 million to finance the development of its electric car. The company touted the enhanced speed and range of its battery-powered vehicles.
Last year, a Coda executive said the company hoped to capture 15% of non-luxury electric vehicles sales in the U.S. Its compact car was priced at $37,250, but consumers could lower that price with a $7,500 federal tax credit. The car competed with electric cars from Nissan (PINK:NSANY[3]), General Motors (NYSE:GM[4]) and Ford (NYSE:F[5]).
However, sales of electric cars fell last year as consumers balked at high prices and reduced trip ranges compared to gasoline-only vehicles. Last month, Fisker Automotive defaulted on a $10 million payment on its federal loans[6]. Fisker recently fired 75% of its workforce and is expected to seek bankruptcy protection.
In contrast, luxury electric car maker Tesla Motors (NASDAQ:TSLA[7]) recently announced that it expected to produce its first-ever quarterly profit on higher-than-expected vehicle sales.

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider declared that he's "come around" and will not be voting to give "crappy" President Barack Obama a second term.
The former "Saturday Night Live" cast member was on the Atlanta-based "Regular Guys" radio show Friday and said that though he is a liberal and a Democrat, he will not vote for Obama.
"If Obama gets back in there, all those people that are already entrenched in that system of bureaucracy are going to be more entrenched, so I'm for kicking them out and starting over," Schneider said. "I've come around to this. As a liberal, as a Democrat, there is no way that I can support Obama for a second term."
One of the radio hosts pointed out that there will be plenty of black presidents in the future and to say Obama will be the only one is nonsense.
"This is America, we're going to have black presidents, we're going to have female presidents, we're going to have Jewish presidents, some of whom are going to be good and some of whom aren't," the host said. "We've had a lot of crappy white presidents in this country and we'll have more white presidents."
"It is a testament to this great nation that we've had a crappy black president," Schneider said.
Schneider's comments put him in company with fellow SNL alumni Jon Lovitz and Victoria Jackson, each of whom have been critical of the president.

"A Night at the Museum: Circus Spectacular" will take place on Friday, Nov 16, at 6:30 p.m. at the Terre Haute Children's Museum. This fundraising event will be a fantastic grown-up evening of play, and all proceeds will support the Museum's mission of enriching our children's lives through the exploration of science and technology.
During the event, the Museum will be transformed into a magnificent circus, inviting patrons in playground-chic attire to travel down the midway, filled with circus performances and carnival games. Guests will savor circus-inspired cuisine at stations throughout the Museum, and they'll even get to enjoy an adult twist on the classic sno-cone!
Adults of all ages are invited to embrace their inner child as they experience the magic, mystery, laughter and thrills under the Terre Haute Children's Museum Big Top. Hold your breath as you watch an aerial artist, magician and juggler perform incredible feats, and enjoy the power of laughter during performances by Pat Kelly, son of the great circus clown Emmett Kelly Sr. Emmett Kelly Sr. created the memorable clown figure "Weary Willie" based on the hobos of the Depression era, and Pat Kelly has been carrying on his father's legacy with his own hobo clown act for more than 50 years.
Tickets for the event are $100 per person and will include food, entertainment and automatic entry into drawings for a variety of door prizes! Only 500 tickets will be available for this exclusive event!
In addition to the Circus Spectacular fundraising event, the Museum will host a circus-themed family day at the Museum. On Saturday, November 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Terre Haute Children's Museum will present "Under the Big Top: The Science and Fitness of Circus!"
Where else but the Terre Haute Children's Museum, can visitors actually learn to juggle, spin plates in the air, and, yes, even walk a "tightrope," while being taught the health and science that makes it all possible – the physics behind the fun. The Terre Haute Children's Museum will be jumping through hoops to stage a full day of circus wonder where families learn the theories of balance, centrifugal force, motion and gravity, while also educating their children about the importance of healthy eating and regular exercise.
"A Night at the Museum: Circus Spectacular" and "Under the Big Top: The Science and Fitness of Circus!" are being presented by Union Hospital in partnership with Frontier Communications, Hamilton Center, Inc., Refreshment Services Pepsi, Indiana State University and Duke Energy.

When last year, the granddaughter of Estee Lauder, Aerin, unveiled her makeup line, I wasn't impressed. It featured soft pink, peach and neutral shades for a fuss-free, sophisticated and easily-wearable look, which was nice but not remarkable. I mean, how many brands are already doing that?
So, when I saw their Garden Collection for spring I was very surprised. Positively so. The collection features two Style Palettes packaged in beautiful zippable compacts, an Illuminating Face Powder embossed with a stunning floral design and infused with a rose scent that promises to give your cheeks a natural glow, Multi-Colors for cheeks and lips in coral and pink shades and a selection of lip products ranging from soft neutrals to vivid pinks.
It's a wearable and gorgeous collection and I wish I could afford all of it. If you want to see more photos, check out British Beauty Blogger.

Sleep Disorders in Women (cont.)
Medical Treatment for Sleep Disorders in Women
Why doesn't your health care provider prescribe a sleeping pill for you? One reason is that sleeping pills may cause dependency and abuse. Also, sleeping pills may cause side effects and complications, such as confusion, dizziness, imbalance, falls, and a daytime "hangover." These medications are only a short-term solution. The dose for prescription sleeping pills was recently changed for women because of significant side effects.

Neon Orange Jersey
I have been searching all my local bikes shops and the internet for a neon bright orange jersey, but can't find any. Mos of the ones I have seen are a dull orange. I want something that will really stand out. Any suggestions where else to look--if possible I would like a woman's cut jersey, but I will take what I can get.
I have a "hurt your eyes orange" jersey. I bought it two years ago from Performance. Wasn't fancy, but kept its color.
I have the same one from performance-it was one of their jerseys-bright is an understatement.
Hi-vis yellow is an eye opener as well, most jerseys are sold in this color now.
I had been looking also; thanks to Noisebeam on the advocacy list. He posted this URL earlier today.

Buenos Aires - A volcanic ash cloud in Chile delayed flights across South America and Australia on Monday, stranding thousands of travellers and forcing UN chief Ban Ki-moon onto an overnight bus.The eruption of the Puyehue volcano, high in the Andes, entered a second week, spewing ash that has disrupted air travel on a scale unseen since the volcanic cloud over Iceland paralysed Europe in 2010.Buenos Aires airports suspended domestic and international flights on Sunday night for the third time in a week, prompting a crisis meeting on Monday to assess the situation, the Argentine Civil Aviation Administration said."Meteorological conditions have worsened again, with forecasts that the cloud of volcanic ash will remain suspended in the area over the Ezeiza airport and the Jorge Newbery Metropolitan Airpark," the agency said.At the Ezeiza international airport, an Ecuadoran tourist anxiously awaited a break in the dust cloud to fly home for medical treatment.Stranded"We're biting our nails, we're so anxious," she said.Daniel Alegrin was stranded at the airport after flights to Alicante, Spain were delayed for a week."We come from Rosario [Argentina] and the [airline] refused to assume responsibility for our return home on grounds that it was a natural disaster," he said.The UN secretary-general became the most high-profile person to be stranded after he was forced to rough it on an overnight bus to meet Argentinian leaders on Monday. Worse still - it was his birthday.All ended well as Ban, who marked his 67th birthday on Monday, made it to the capital in time to meet Argentinian leaders and win their support for a second term as secretary-general."We are very happy to welcome him and to say to him that we support with joy his re-election," said Argentine President Cristina Kirchner.Montevideo's Carrasco international airport in neighbouring Uruguay also suspended operations, with more than 70 flights cancelled, officials said, and Brazil has halted all flights to Uruguay and Argentina.WindsThe Chilean Meteorological Service, said prevailing winds would continue to blow the ash into Argentina until Wednesday.Chilean seismologist Enrique Valdivieso said the eruption could run its course within a week, but it was hard to know based on precedent. An eruption in 1960 lasted two weeks, but an earlier one in 1921 lasted two months.The June 4 eruption has been hardest for tourist areas near the volcano like the alpine resort of Bariloche, whose airport has been closed for a week, and Villa Angostura, which is 30km away.Strong winds have carried the ash cloud half way around the world, snarling travel as far away as Australia.The Australian carrier Qantas said all flights in and out of the southern island of Tasmania and to New Zealand remained grounded on Monday, but it lifted a ban on flights to and from the southern Australian city of Melbourne.Hours after the airline began working through the backlog of thousands of passengers stranded in Melbourne, it cancelled several flights into Adelaide after the plume moved into South Australian airspace.Qantas said three international services to Buenos Aires and Los Angeles were also halted.Aerial shutdownMore than 110 Qantas flights were cancelled on Sunday and Monday, delaying at least 20 000 travellers while as many as 25 000 more passengers have been disrupted by Qantas's offshoot Jetstar suspending some flights.The eruption in 2010 of an Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjoell, caused the biggest aerial shutdown in Europe since World War II, affecting more than 100 000 flights and eight million passengers.Puyehue's eruption sent columns of debris 10 000m high, blanketing the picturesque mountains and lakes along the Chile-Argentina border in a snowy white ash and prompting the evacuation of 3 500 people.Its last major eruption was in 1960, following a 9.5 magnitude earthquake - the largest on record.

The Carmageddon: Reincarnation Kickstarter wrapped up late last week, raking in quite a bit more than its initial $400,000 goal, which developer Stainless Games actually met a full 10 days early on May 27. The 30-day Kickstarter campaign finally came to a close on June 7 with this latest romp into automobile-based carnage earning a whopping $625,143 from a total of 15,736 backers.
So what is all of that extra funding going towards? Rather than seriously bolstering its coffee fund for the project, Stainless Games has instead announced that the 56 percent increase over the original fund raising goal will allow development to take place on two additional platforms, Mac and Linux.
Stainless co-founder and CEO Patrick Buckland said the results went well beyond the studio's wildest expectations, singing the praises of Kickstarter, which has allowed fans of the game series to pitch in their own hard-earned dollars to help the project see the light of day.
"We're so pleased to have been one of the band of pioneering video game studios on Kickstarter," Buckland said on the Kickstarter page. "It shows what a fantastic opportunity this is for both the indie studios and gamers alike."
Sporting a twisted blend of open-world racing and vehicular mayhem, Carmageddon challenges players with demolishing their opponents (as well as helpless pedestrians) in order to cross the finish line with the most points. Reincarnation promises online multiplayer, as well as support for YouTube video uploads and Twitter/Facebook integration.
While Kickstarter won't likely fund the next AAA blockbuster coming down the pipeline, it's nice to see it serve as a viable funding option for these smaller studios with big dreams.
Carmageddon: Reincarnation is expected to be ready for release by February 2013. You can learn more over at the Official Kickstarter Page.

10′ BAHNE classic 1963-64 era. A complete Joe Roper restoration using a eye catching combination of red and black HOT COAT resin work that really make this board stand out. It has 3 stringers and is still wearing its original fin. The cost of the restoration work alone was close to $600.00 and that was a number of years ago.
6′ Donald Takayama Slipper Model single fin with a box and original Takayama fin. Opaque color on an original hand shaped board from the 90's. Used and in very good original condition.
7'6″ Big John Holly SEAGULL surfboard hand shaped at The SHED on the same day that the Safaris founder Bob Barryhill and his son Devon played an acoustic set on a Sunday afternoon(video available). This board has a legendary color spray by T.C. Tom Curtis and was glassed at one of San Diego's premier glass shops Custom Surf and Sail. This all around fun board shape has a sanded gloss finish with FCS tri fin set up and comes complete with fins.
7'6″ Original CASTER square tail single fin with a box. This board is unique in the fact that Bill shaped very few tails that were Square and how many are still left to find. The deck and rails of this board have been professorially repaired, glossed and polished. The bottom has been completely patched but left in its original finish. This board is water tight and solid.
6'6″ Bob Mitsven custom round pin tri fin that is one of my own personal boards. I wanted a more retro feeling step up board so Bob pushed the wide point forward a bit turn the rails down and beaked the nose. Mike Miller did the glassing and color tinting of the bottom and rails of the board. Larry Crow went all out and did a masterful job on the hot coat color job and pin lines. The board has custom made Kelly Slayter template wood fins made by Rick from Mitsven Surfboards. The board has a sanded gloss finish. Used a bit but still in fine fighting shape.
6'8″ Skip Frye Swallow tail tri fin with FCS system. Custom built for Tom Sullivan about 5 years ago. This Special board has extra rocker and rails that are more turned down.

Women's & Children's Hospital has been providing specialized health care services for women and children throughout the Acadiana area for over 20 years. Since its humble beginnings as a birthing hospital, it has since grown to become the market leader in providing quality, cost-effective healthcare services for women and children.
The brain child of a group of visionary obstetricians/gynecologists, Women's Hospital of Acadiana opened its doors on June 7, 1983 as a place solely dedicated to the care of women. In 1986, the hospital changed its name to Women's & Children's Hospital when pediatric services were added. Now, over 20 years since its inception, the hospital has become the 2nd largest birthing hospital in the state of Louisiana offering services for women such as obstetrics, maternal-fetal medicine, lactation services, gynecological and general surgery, urology, breast health, reproductive endocrinology and physical therapy. Women's & Children's Hospital has also earned a reputation as the premier pediatric hospital in Acadiana due to the wide range of healthcare services it provides for children. Those services include a Level III Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a 24-hour Children's Emergency Department, a Pediatric Unit, a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Pediatric Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapy services. To complement and support the comprehensive services offered for children, the hospital has a team of highly skilled and distinguished pediatric specialists at its disposal. This vital group of physicians consists of a Pediatric Surgeon, Pediatric Pulmonologist, Pediatric Neurologist, Pediatric Neurosurgeon, Pediatric Gastroenterologist, Pediatric Cardiologists, and Pediatric Ophthalmology.
Women's & Children's Hospital has repeatedly been voted by The Times of Acadiana Readers Poll as the Best Place To Have A Baby. In 2006, Women's & Children's Hospital was voted as the Best Specialty Hospital by The Times of Acadiana Readers Poll. In addition, the hospital has been presented numerous awards for its community support and involvement in helping to raise dollars for United Way of Acadiana, Susan G. Komen Foundation, and the March of Dimes.
