The honeymoon is officially over for coach Benoit Groulx's fresh-faced Gatineau Olympiques.
Fresh off a season-opening, five-game road swing that took them to the furthest reaches of the QMJHL, the struggling Olympiques return to the friendly confines of a refurbished Robert Guertin Arena for Friday's home opener against the Sherbrooke Phoenix.
The Olympiques lost four of five on the trip, with their only win a 6-1 pounding of the Halifax Mooseheads. Slick Czech forwards Tomas Hyka and Martin Reway each scored a pair of goals in the win and defenceman Dominic Poulin, acquired from Chicoutimi in the off-season, also contributed a pair.
"The only game we played well was in Halifax, and I'm a little disappointed with that," said Groulx. "We should have won in Saint John (a 3-1 loss), we had many good chances but couldn't capitalize, and by the last game in PEI (a 6-2 loss), guys were exhausted by the road trip. Now we're back home, we took two days off to get our energy back and hopefully we'll be ready to go."
As happy as Groulx was with the play of his young players, he's still waiting for some of his returning veterans to pick up the torch and lead the way.
"We have many returning guys who maybe thought this year would be easier, and we found on the road trip that they were not necessarily playing within their limits," Groulx said. "They tried to do different things, and when you don't use your strengths, things won't go well. But we understand what we have to do, and it's only a matter of time before we get everything in place and the team starts to perform.
"We think we have some offence spread through our lineup, but guys like (Alexandros) Soumakis (who) scored 20 goals last year, he's got nothing yet. (Adam) Chapman had 15 last year, he's got nothing yet, and (Yannick) Dube (a 20-year-old acquired from Victoriaville in June) scored 36 last year and he's got nothing yet. So it's a matter of time before we get into our rhythm and start to play within our limitations. Don't try to do too much, but do what you do best and things will fall into place."
One area where Groulx has no complaints is in net, with former 67's netminder Michael Nishi filling in nicely for injured starter Robert Steeves, who was picked up over the summer to provide stability and experience in the crease. The team will have to wait for that to arrive, however, as Steeves was injured in training camp and will be out until the spring.
"(Nishi) gave us a chance to win and too many times we let him down," said Groulx. "He was very solid in Halifax, he was a bit unlucky in Saint John, but overall he's been very solid for us."
Now that the Olympiques are home, there will be some getting used to the barn. Summer renovations had the team holding camp at Rockland's Academy, where they faced the 67's, with Nishi in the Ottawa net, in the pre-season.
"The rink looks better, the ice is a little bit smaller, new boards, new glass. Overall, we're just trying to get used to our new building. The boards are different, they're much faster and there's a lot more bounces with the puck coming back quickly in front, so we have to try to get used to it," said Groulx. "But it's always nice to be back home."
With a five-game homestand kicking off against the winless Phoenix (0-6), the Olympiques can get their season back on track.
"(The Phoenix is) a young team with a lot of speed and I expect them to be very hungry. They have a lot of young players, 13 players are 17-years-old, so it's going to be a battle of young teams," Groulx said. "(The home stand) is a matter of giving us a bit of confidence and starting with a win is always nice."

A Florida-bred son of Put It Back, Clawback made his debut on
September 3 at Saratoga Race Course, rallying to finish second after an

A UFO was seen over Bury St Edmunds cathedral on Saturday night.
Police confirmed a man reported the sighting.
The man, who did not want to give his name, said he was walking near the cathedral at around 10pm when there was a sudden power cut.
"I looked up at the sky - I was quite frightened. There was a grey thing spinning around and around. About four or five other people were looking up at the sky.
"It went around the cathedral and then disappeared. Then I saw this bright orange ball fly through the sky from Churchgate Street towards the churchyard."
He said a friend had subsequently suggested the sighting might have been something to do with the Christmas fair in the Abbey Gardens and on Angel Hill.
"I'm just puzzled by it all," he said.
A police spokeswoman said: "We did have a report of a large object in the sky for approximately 10 to 12 minutes that looked like a UFO."
She added police had only received one report regarding the sighting.

GILROY -- It's not that Adan Lopez hasn't heard about the new federal health care law.
By now, the 32-year-old self-employed, uninsured Gilroy resident is familiar with Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange, through Spanish-language television and radio -- it even pops up on Internet sites he visits.
He just hasn't gotten around to signing up for it. And he's hardly alone.

'Big Bone' Disease Fades in China
Decades of field work and public health interventions have resulted in a decline in Kashin-Beck disease, locally known as 'Big Bone' disease. The disease which causes disproportionate stunted growth and joint deformities was widely found in rural areas of China. The Wall Street Journal covered this story:
The disease is now on the wane, after long-term study of the villagers, many of whom traditionally lived in caves, led to large-scale public-health interventions focused on nutrition, hygiene and sometimes moving whole villages to another location.
In 2009, the number of people living with the disease was down to 700,000 of whom only about 18,000 were children. Researchers expect the 2010 data to show further declines in cases.
Kashin-Beck "is an environmental, society and medical disease," said Dr. Guo. "If these [factors] can be controlled, we'll eradicate the disease."
It is a rare victory over a condition that disproportionately affects the rural poor, accomplished by dint of extensive, often grueling field work. The effort also represents a major public-health commitment in a country that until recently left its citizens to seek out and pay for health care largely on their own.

Tsunami resistant, but what about rust?
Reading the Triplicate's article on the tsunami upgrades of our harbor ("The harbor gets tougher," Sept. 5) brought to mind an observation I made there.
Dutra Co. stored various parts in the yard all around the harbor and I noticed some hot dip galvanized weldments of varying shapes, apparently to be used on or under water.
One needs to know that weld spatter, the little droplets of metal and slack that happen to fall next to the weld seam, are only lightly fused to the base metal and are easily knocked off. If one galvanizes over them, in time rust will form under them or they will get knocked off and rust will start at that uncoated site.
Since the failure of a zinc coat is predictable, most companies would not accept improperly prepared weldments for galvanizing.
If memory serves right, in California, Caltrans has an industry-wide recognized specification for galvanizing of welded structures. It did not appear any effort was made to remove weld spatter on the weldments I saw.
So while our harbor may be tsunami-resistant, simple rust is a different matter.

Thanks to Gasquet Volunteer Fire Dept.
About three or four weeks ago I was getting ready to go to work around 7:15 a.m. when I heard the sound of the fire siren going off. I immediately thought to myself, "I hope the accident is northeast of here, so I'm not late to work."
Well about 15 minutes later as I was heading to Crescent City on Highway 199, there was indeed an accident on the road, and there dressed in their firefighting gear tending to the scene were several of my neighbors.
I immediately felt very ashamed for my earlier, self-centered thoughts. My only concern had been with whether or not I was going to arrive to work on time, yet here were my neighbors who had each dropped whatever they had been doing, made their way to the station, put on their gear, and rushed to the accident to help in whatever way they could.
Throughout the year, the Gasquet Volunteer Fire Department responds to many kinds of emergencies, usually car accidents, oftentimes in the middle of the night, and sometimes involving fatalities. I want to thank them for doing this job with dedication and professionalism, yet without pay and fanfare.
Since that morning, whenever I hear the siren sounding, I count my blessings to live in such a special little community where people really do care about one another, and some even train as firefighters (and all that entails), allow their lives to be disrupted, put their own safety on the line and answer the call to help those in need. Just one more wonderful reason why I am so lucky to call Gasquet my home!

Tagged: sidebar after container
October 28, 2013 at 5:35 pm #181677
i use a Event Manager Plugin.
On the main page of events, I disabled the sidebar and everything is OK. On the page of a single event, I set a sidebar ad hoc and everything is ok. If I try, however, to enable the sidebar, both in the main page which, for example, in the category page, I have a display problem. The sidebar is printed below the content of the page and not on the right as on the other pages.
And 'as if the code of the pages on your software, sovrascrivessero the default structure of tamplate.
If you want to see, for example, http://www.21dieci.it/eventi-culturali/categorie-eventi/
The normal structure of my template are:
div container
->div xxxunits
->div sidebar
The structure on your page are:
div container
->div xxxunits
div sidebar
I asked for assistance in support of the plugin and this is what they said: "It sounds like your theme has the width of the different sections wrong for some reason. This may be a compatibility problem with custom post types (which EM uses).
In any case, you'll need to seek the assistance of the original theme developer here really.
??? Please any suggestion

Hello, i try to load a default wordpress theme and this fix the problem.
In the pages that use, there are elements of AVIA Advanced Layout builder. Do not use the standard editor of wordpress. So the page, we have a Color section and a TEXT section, where it is printed the output of the plugin. If I use AVIA, the sidebar is moved under the container, and, if I use the standard editor of the page, the output is correct.October 29, 2013 at 9:25 pm #182232
SO, i found the problem: COLOR SECTION break sidebar, but only on this plugin. I try also a non boxed layout, and the problem persist …. :(October 31, 2013 at 11:33 pm #183160
In that case you can choose not to display sidebar on that certain page and insert Widget Area element under Content elements as a workaround in my opinion. You can insert any widgets you would like to display in your sidebar in Widget Area and it works well with Color Section element
Best regards,
YigitOctober 31, 2013 at 11:48 pm #183170
you know this option, but, excuse me, is not the solution to the problem. Also, inserting the sidebar widget, I lose some css styles typical of a normal page, I do not like. I would, however, solve the problem, because, to me, when I buy a professional template, there should never be any problems with plugins.
I hope I can sort it out — thanks.November 1, 2013 at 12:40 am #183194
There are tens of thousands of WordPress plugins and it would be impossible to make the theme compatible with all of them. You can find bunch of plugins that are recommended in here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -09-2013/
I am not familiar with the plugin. Can you post a screenshot and show it should look?
YigitNovember 3, 2013 at 12:01 pm #183899
Hello Yigit,
I understand that you can not create a software compatible with everything. However, this problem seems very basic and applicable to many other plugins. So it would be nice to fix it. Thank you.
You can see what happens directly from the following link:
http://www.21dieci.it/eventi-culturali/categorie-eventi/November 4, 2013 at 3:34 pm #184274
You have color section element in your page which does work only without sidebar. Please try removing it first. If you would like to use it and at the same time display sidebar widgets, only solution is using widget area element.
Best regards,
YigitNovember 4, 2013 at 3:38 pm #184275
Sorry, but it is not. Using COLOR SECTION in every other page of the site, and on each page there is a sidebar. So COLOR section, it works with all your sidebar settings.
Also, by using the sidebar widget, I would not have the same result, such as styles, css, and graphics.November 6, 2013 at 4:14 am #185046
I think the issue you are running into here is that Color Sections are only able to be used with the Advanced Layout Editor *and* they will always be full width items on the page. They can no be included with a sidebar next to them.
So if you are using the Advanced Layout Editor with another custom post type, it isn't support first. Second, the sidebar will always show up under any color section unless you force it by using either debug mode or some other means which is again not supported.
DevinNovember 6, 2013 at 9:59 am #185106
Hello Devin,
I'm sorry but maybe I have not explained well.
In all the pages of the website, I use Advanced Layout Editor. On each page there are two COLOR SECTION and the sidebar are always right, under any COLOR SECTION not "next to them"
This is perfect.
Everything works fine and everything is as I want, two and COLOR SECTION below, the content on the left and a sidebar on the right.
On the page of the error, use the same structure: Two COLOR SECTION and one TEXT BLOCK. Within the TEXT BLOCK, there is only the text CONTENT.November 9, 2013 at 4:43 pm #186479
The Events plugin, like WooCommerce typically has its own output for pages. Its not ideal but for the events container you will probably not be able to use the advanced layout editor.
The topic 'Sidebar problem w/ other plugin' is closed to new replies.

Legal Question in Family Law in Wisconsin
My husband bought a car before marriage but was not paid off until after marriage. Do I have the right to half the value of the vehicle if my name is not on the title?
Asked on 8/14/13, 8:48 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Richard Missimer Missimer Law, S.C.
The statute states that it is a presumption that all property is marital unless it was a gift or inheritance. Certainly both of you can make a case for it. You would say that marital assets were used in its operation, insurance, and payments since you got together. He will say the value was set when you married and has decreased and all that has gone into it was operating expenses.
It will depend on what judge or commissioner you have, and how long the marriage has been. If just a year or two then likely its his. If it has been most of the cars life, then marriages.

You are gonzo....never a boring moment.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the education about Gonzo journalism. I don't know that my personality or life would be juicy enough for a Gonzo obit. Maybe I could add a dash of fictional spice?ReplyDelete
I'm no Gonzo, but I did write general obits for my husband and me, just so that whoever ends up submitting them knows the details.ReplyDelete
I am appalled at omissions in the descriptions of some family members. (Example: they didn't have to mention me, but it was stupidly cruel to forget the deceased's sister.)

I knew there was a decided shift in journalism in recent years (I studied journalism for four years many moons ago). I did not know its name.ReplyDelete
Personally, I have a problem with some of the recent journalism which is overtly subjective. Perhaps all journalism was, even when we thought it was objective. Currently reading Didion and other "reporter" writing again. What fun.
You bring up the problem of fiction versus nonfiction. Although emotion certainly plays a role, Fact Checking is still order, ala Glen Kessler in the Washington Post.
Wrote my obit and then after a few years erased it. I figure by the time I die no one will care anyway. That's the job of a blog. Important to share your thoughts now while others can ask questions I think.

Johnny Rockets to grow mobile database via text-to-win initiative
International restaurant chain Johnny Rockets is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a marketing effort that lets consumers text to win a trip to Antigua or Jamaica from Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts.
In-store signage asks consumers to text the keyword ROCKETS000 to 99158. Participants will be entered to win a trip and can also opt-in to a database for future marketing that will consist of product introductions, news and special deals.
?The strategy behind this program is to offer our guests a way to receive the most immediate information on Johnny Rockets programs directly to their cell phones,? said Tim Hackbardt, senior vice president of marketing at The Johnny Rockets Group Inc., Aliso Viejo, CA.
?It is part of a larger strategy that encompasses an overall database building strategy that includes growing social networking, email and mobile databases to provide our guests the most convenient method to receive messaging from our brand the way they want to receive it,? he said.
The Johnny Rockets promotion is called "Celebrating the Originals." It focuses on the chain's signature Original Hamburger and features a sweepstakes where guests can win prizes including a Vespa motor scooter, Donkey Kong Country Returns games for the Nintendo Wii console and free food, plus a chance to win the two grand prizes, a four-day, three-night, all-inclusive vacation for two at Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts in Jamaica or Antigua.
The Originals campaign also features three new deluxe shakes, including a new Dark Chocolate Shake made with Ghirardelli chocolate.
Highlighting foods that made it famous, Johnny Rockets created point-of-sale materials that focus on three versions of the Original Hamburger, including one with bacon and cheese and another with double beef and cheese.
Featured chocolate shakes are Chocolate Madness, Chocolate Banana and the new premium Dark Chocolate Shake that is made with Ghirardelli chocolate sauce and garnished with a piece of solid Ghirardelli chocolate.
Increasing guest frequency
To increase guest frequency, everyone is given an instant-win scratch-off prize piece at the end of their meal and encouraged to scratch it immediately.
If it awards Johnny Rockets food then they can use it on the next visit.
The mobile sweepstakes includes two grand prizes of a four-day, three-night, all-inclusive vacation to Grand Pineapple Beach Resorts, located in Jamaica and Antigua.
In addition, '80s-themed prizes include a classic Vespa motor scooter, worth over $3,000, and 2,500 Donkey Kong Country Returns video games exclusively for the Wii console. The game, which is now available in stores, marks the return of one of Nintendo's most beloved characters, who also got his start in the 1980s.
Consumers are able to enter these sweepstakes online. Only the trips to Jamaica and Antigua can be entered to win via mobile.
For a limited time, the Johnny Rockets Chocolate Banana Shake has been branded the "Donkey Kong Chocolate Banana Shake" and is sure to be a favorite with Johnny Rockets guests of all ages.
The mobile aspect of the campaign aims to increase the Johnny Rockets mobile database size.
?Mobile is where everyone lives now,? Mr. Hackbardt said. ?Our core audience of teens, young adults and mothers who make important dining decisions for the family are heavy mobile users.?

Buying a bike at Walmart?
My husband and I are finally trying to get started with biking more as a commuting option. We plan on starting out going to different places in San Francisco, but we may eventually go between cities as well (though this will probably be a little down the line). My husband has an acquaintance at work who bikes a lot, and he said that we should check out the bikes at Walmart if we're just getting started. I used to have a really cheap bike from Walmart that I hated. It was $40 and ostensibly a mountain bike, but it was a real drag to ride (brakes rubbing against the tire, super uncomfortable, etc.), even after we got it tuned up at a local bike co-op. Anyway, we were wondering if anyone here has an opinion on the road bikes and hybrid bikes that are sold at Walmart? Are they reliable? Would you recommend them to a beginner?
You can do much better at a place like Performance, or even Bikes Direct..(or Bike Island)..... Most wally world bikes are really bottom tier.
Why not get a bike from the co-op? They prolly have a selection of nice older road and hybrid bikes.
Thanks for the advice! We went to the non-profit Pedal Revolution in SF, and the cheapest bike with more than one speed was $450, while Walmart sells road bikes for $170. If we need to pay $450 we will, but we just wanted to explore our options. The co-op in SF is unfortunately only open for about 4 hours on Saturday and not at all on Sunday. Since we're only up in the city on the weekend, it's just been tough arranging our schedule so we can get there during their open hours. I'm also not sure if they have many used bikes for sale. We are going to try Performance bikes, and we were looking at Bikes Direct, too, but we were hoping to go somewhere where we could do a little test ride.
I rode my five year old GMC Denali to work today. since it was raining and sloppy ... I wouldn't say it would be unreliable as long as you or your husband are willing to mechanic on it as needed. It's somewhere between the junk mountain bikes and a bike shop brand.
the gmc denali and genesis road bikes (kent international) are not complete junk. when new the grease in the bearings and nut torques need to be checked. even though these bicycles are inexpensive regular maintenance is still needed.
You can find some very nice/good deals on craigslist, especially this time of year. If you aren't opposed to buying used you can get a much better quality used bike for the money .
I am confident that you will find it such a positive thing if the bike doesn't ruin the experience.
I love BSOs ... with maintenance they are great!
From what I've read on Amazon about the GMC Denali the brakes and tires are junk. The handlebar doesn't stay put. The saddle is very uncomfortable. The derailleurs are hard to adjust properly. The wheels are a crap shoot. And it weighs about 10 pounds more than a typical entry level road bike. All in all, there's a reason why name brand bikes start at around $500 new. Save yourself the headache and buy something used but nice in your price range. I went through the same thing and didn't see anything worth buying on Craigslist so I just bought new at my local LBS.
You will quickly outgrow the type of bikes you find at Walmart. Better to invest in a good used bike because you can always resell it for more or less the same value in case you end up hating bike commuting. My two cents... I commute on a mechanically sound Raleigh Sprite I found on the curb :)
Please don't buy a bike at Wal-Mart. I bought one from Sports Authority (you'd think that would be a step up from Wal-Mart but NO) and HATED it for years.
I finally bought a 1993 Raleigh mountain bike on craigslist for $120 this summer, put street tires on it, and am now DELIGHTED with riding a bicycle that doesn't have parts fall off or have the frame bend when you hit a bump in the road. And I'm not kidding about the bent frame.
That craigslist bike has changed life, and I don't make that statement lightly.
And will someone please tell me what BSO means? I read the whole Commuting on a BSO thread and it was never explained. I can guess at what the BS might stand for but not the O.
There is a world of difference between a BSO from the Evil Empire, and an entry level bike from a bike shop. You would be much happier with the latter, even if it costs more up front.
sports authority or dicks sporting goods bicycles are not that great either they are also bicycle shaped objects. go to a local bicycle shop for higher quality and service.
A few weeks I hit some local Wal Mart, K Mart and Target stores to compare their BSO's just out of curiosity. The fare at WM and KM was pretty much what I expected but Target had a few bikes that seemed a half notch or so above the other 2. Unfortunately the Target I visited was in serious need of a new bike assembler, most weren't "half bad" bikes but they were poorly assembled. The bikes at the WM I was in all appeared to be properly assembled and adjusted. Maybe it was just me but, the Target faux "Schwinn" bikes seemed to be a little nicer than the WalMart faux "Schwinn" bikes. ???????
Everything else you mentioned from the reviews - well let me put it this way. Most of them, it's pretty obvious that the reviewer had never ridden a bike as an adult. It's simply, completely wrong.
To be specific for each point, the brakes are exactly the same as on other entry level bikes. They do need to be adjusted correctly. The saddle is the most comfortable one I have currently, and also the widest (and the reviewers badmouthing it say it's too narrow and some of them said they prefer gel saddles). I didn't find the derailleurs to be appreciably harder to adjust than Sora - but you do have to adjust them. The wheels were actually better quality than the low-end wheels you get on Amazon or Niagara Cycles for instance. The handlebars are rock solid - there is absolutely no way the handlebars are going anywhere unless someone loosened the clamp. My point is that you've got to take the negative internet reviews with a grain of salt, unless there's at least something in it showing that the reviewer has a clue.
It is true that it weighs 5 or 6 pounds (not 10) more than entry level brand name bikes. In all honesty that's probably a plus for this particular bike because it means the frame (1 - 1.5 pounds heavier) is beefed up, the heavier deep-v type wheels are sturdier, the rings are bombproof, and the handlebars are are heavy but more solid than I have on other bikes. There are some flaws on the bike that we don't really need to go into in detail, but the bottom line is it's a cheap bike and you really need to disassemble it completely and build it back right. But no it's not complete junk and will work fine with competent adjustment and maintenance.
I personally will not buy used bikes on craigslist or any bikes online just because you're new to cycling. On Craiglist, everyone knows there's a chance that you may not like the bike after riding for awhile. People who had success in buying from Craiglist are people who knows what they're buying (components, comfort, and most importantly, fitting themselves on the bike). Buying from online retailers is also risky for new cyclists because no one is there to inform you about each bike (new or used) and some models / brands you may see might not be at your LBS to test ride. If you want you save money, I suggest buying used from a LBS. At least, you'll make a more informative purchase and get a basic fitting to make your ride a little more comfortable. Your LBS may also give you a short store warranty with the purchase. I suggest to go to several LBS and compare prices. If you have doubts about how much a bike should cost, get the complete specs of the bikes (usually you can easily get them online) you're interesting in and come back to this forum and ask.
I do not suggest a WalMart bike, but here's a current thread in General Cycling on this forum, that you might be interested in:
my opinion, if you want to purchase a new cheap high quality bicycle now purchase a 9 speed based bicycle. this is the cheap better quality standard now. :D
If you go down that route, a cruiser usually isn't a bad idea. Then, take is to your local bike shop and have it re-assembled/do a once-over and you should be set. Schwinn is the top-tier of the bottom of the barrel choice at Walmart. This shouldn't cost you more than $150 (and that's way over shooting the price quote for labor + the cost of the bike).
the schwinn solitaire and admiral are nice bicycles but expensive for what you get.

How did Will's date go?
Danny has crispy hair this morning, just one of the strange aspects to the start of his day, which also includes an exchange with a Starbucks barista over how long Danny might be lactose intolerant. We also learn that Danny recently ate a pound and a half of beets, which could explain some of his recent unusual gastro-intestinal symptoms.
Will gets put on the hot seat over his date with a listener at the Van Halen concert. He was late, he may or may not have showered, he wore a faded hoodie and a tattered baseball cap, he took no video or photos as our boss had ordered, and he showed no interest in a listener who was a very good sport. We put Jenni on the phone, who says despite his failings, she would be willing to see Will again, but Will indicates that once was probably enough.
Danny Bonaduce, Life Coach, reassures a woman with two DUIs who is in the middle of months of having to wear an ankle bracelet, and who wants to know if it gets better.
At least something comes of Jenni's unfortunate experience with Will: it inspired a segment! Listeners recall their bad-date stories.
All this, and Danny shares his thoughts on how the show's first happy-hour get-together went, on today's Danny Bonaduce Show.

Shaving seems like such a manly thing to do, it's no surprise that boys are eager to do it. But most boys won't have enough hair on their faces to shave until they're well into their teens.
Most boys don't get a full crop of facial hair until the end of puberty. So you will have already grown bigger and taller, and your voice will have changed, before you need to pick up a razor. Before you do, be sure to ask your dad or another experienced shaver for some tips.

Aurora Massacre Victims Split $5 million Donations: Mediator Confirms 'Class' of Victims
Aurora massacre victims and those who suffered permanent injuries in the horrific incident earlier this year will split the majority of the $5 million in donations raised to help those involved in the shootings, a governor-appointed mediator has confirmed on Monday.
Mediator Kenneth Feinberg explained Monday that there would be two classes of victims; firstly the families of the 12 people killed in the Aurora, Colo. movie theater shooting, as well as those who were permanently injured. That group will get about 70 percent of the funds, which equates to each getting about $200,000 of the $4,961,739 currently raised in the Aurora Victim Relief Fund, according to a statement from Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper's office.
The second group consists of those who suffered other physical injuries, and that group will get the remaining 30 percent of the fund. It will be divided according to the number of days the victims were hospitalized. Feinberg explained that within this group there would be those identified as "victims hospitalized for 20 days or more; victims hospitalized for between eight and 19 days; and victims hospitalized between one and seven days."
According to official records there were 58 people wounded in the tragedy.
The mediator, however, also explained that due to the limited nature of the funds, those who were injured but did not require any overnight hospitalization, as well as those who have claimed for mental trauma suffered in the incident, would not be able to be compensated through the fund.
Gov. Hickenlooper has said in a released statement: "We are extremely grateful to Ken Feinberg for his service to victims and their families and to the state of Colorado."
It added, "He has proven once again why he is the nation's leading expert in handling these kinds of matters. Those most impacted by the theater shooting are best served by a speedy and fair distribution of the Aurora Victim Relief Fund and Ken is delivering as promised."
Feinberg was also appointed to oversee the distribution of compensation funds for the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and is widely regarded as the expert in such matters.
The July 20 Aurora Colorado shootings took place when former University of Colorado-Denver graduate James Holmes entered a movie theater with numerous weapons and opened fire on moviegoers watching a premiere showing of the latest Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises."

We've had quite a bit of rain here in NW Louisiana for several weeks now. This means our lawns are lushly green. This afternoon, three of my neighbors mowed their lawns and the scent was marvelous.
It mingles with the scent of my star jasmine which is nearing the end of it's yearly blooming. It will be replaced by the scent of my asian lilies soon — the buds are large now.
After that, sometime in July, the gardenia will start blooming.
My small front porch garden is doing well. This is where the star jasmine reigns supreme, but I also enjoy the blooms of the impatiens, the begonias, the hostas, and far too infrequently, the gerbera daisies. I just don't have much luck with those.
For Mother's Day, I was sent a small azalea, which I'm going to try in this small garden. I hope it works… it's mostly a shade garden and it has some drainage problems which I've worked on correcting over the years.
This garden is also where I put my rocks. I love rocks. All the rocks in my front porch garden carry a special memory for me. Some are from my step-mother's collection, some are from the home in Arizona where my granddaughter was born, some are from Alaska, one is from the clinic where my father is receiving radiation for his lung cancer… some are from my back yard.
Wherever I visit, I'm likely to 'steal' a rock.

Did You Say Someone Stole An Outhouse?
What? Did I hear that correctly? Someone stole an outhouse? Why? Is anything sacred anymore?
A man who has a log cabin in the backwoods of Canada, which is almost anywhere in Canada, decided to build an outhouse and.... Well, forget it, this is the worst news story of all-time and does not need any set up really, just watch the video.
I feel sorry for anyone who has something stolen, but an outhouse being stolen makes the news? Someone should tell them I had two cars stolen this past year, that didn't make news.

Intel claims Knight's Landing will slay HUMA and bare all CUDA's flaws
Subject: General Tech | November 20, 2013 - 12:53 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Xeon Phi, knights landing, Intel, 14nm
Intel has been talking up the Xeon Phi, first of the Knight's Landing chips which shall arrive in the not too distant future. This new architecture is touted to bring a return of homogeneous systems architecture which will perform parallel processing on its many cores, currently 61 is the number being tossed around, at a level of performance that will exceed the GPU accelerated heterogeneous architecture being pushed by AMD and NVIDIA. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen but many server builders may prefer the familiar CPU only architecture and as at least some of the Phi's will be available in rack mounted form and not just addin cards they may choose Intel out of habit. You can also read about Micron's Automata Processor which The Register reports can outperform a 48-chip cluster of Intel Xeon 5650s in certain scenarios.
"From Intel's point of view, today's hottest trend in high-performance computing – GPU acceleration – is just a phase, one that will be superseded by the advent of many-core CPUs, beginning with Chipzilla's next-generation Xeon Phi, codenamed "Knights Landing"."

... And It's Gone. SATA Express Canceled from Intel 9-Series
Subject: General Tech, Chipsets, Storage | November 12, 2013 - 04:37 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, 9-series, SATA Express
Intel is preparing to launch several processors next year. For back-to-school, Haswell will return with new SKUs and a new 9-series chipset; in the holiday season, Haswell-E will arrive for high-end (high wattage) enthusiasts on the X99 chipset; and, just before 2015, Broadwell-K will be available for the mainstream 9-series desktop.
SATA Express will not be accompanying them.
The specification, which more than triples SATA 6Gbps's "up-to 600MB/s" bandwidth rating, will not be validated for Intel 9 Series chipsets. Intel was originally rumored to be its launch partner. The host connector accepts connections from both SATA (up to two per host connector) and PCIe-based (one device, up to two lanes) hard drives. Two PCIe lanes provides 2GB/s of bandwidth.
It seems like the real benefit is to allow internal drives be connected with PCIe speeds through a ribbon-cable. Currently Intel has not given a reason to pass on the standard.
Linux support for Broadwell is looking good
Subject: General Tech | November 4, 2013 - 01:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, linux, open source, Broadwell
Over the weekend 62 patches to the Linux kernel were released, enabling Broadwell GPU support well ahead of the processors scheduled release date. Not only is this great news for open source enthusiasts who appreciate it when large companies like Intel release detailed driver code but also means that Broadwell should function well with Linux on its release date. Phoronix also reports that more code is scheduled to arrive this week to enable other features which are unique to Broadwell, keep your eyes peeled for any specifications we can infer from the code as it becomes available
"While Intel's Broadwell processors won't be launching until 2014 as the successor to Haswell, this weekend the initial open-source Linux GPU kernel driver was published ahead of the Linux 3.13 kernel merge window. The changes are massive and it's looking like the Broadwell graphics improvements will be astonishing and provide significant improvements over Haswell and earlier generations of Intel graphics."

ARM TechCon 2013: Altera To Produce ARMv8 Chips on Intel 14nm Fabs
Subject: Processors, Mobile | October 29, 2013 - 12:24 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: techcon, Intel, arm techcon, arm, Altera, 14nm
In February of this year Intel and Altera announced that they would be partnering to build Altera FPGAs using the upcoming Intel 14nm tri-gate process technology. The deal was important for the industry as it marked one of the first times Intel has shared its process technology with another processor company. Seen as the company's most valuable asset, the decision to outsource work in the Intel fabrication facilities could have drastic ramifications for Intel's computing divisions and the industry as a whole. This seems to back up the speculation that Intel is having a hard time keeping their Fabs at anywhere near 100% utilization with only in-house designs.
Today though, news is coming out that Altera is going to be included ARM-based processing cores, specifically those based on the ARMv8 64-bit architecture. Starting in 2014 Altera's high-end Stratix 10 FPGA that uses four ARM Cortex-A53 cores will be produced by Intel fabs.
The deal may give Intel pause about its outsourcing strategy. To date the chip giant has experimented with offering its leading-edge fab processes as foundry services to a handful of chip designers, Altera being one of its largest planned customers to date.
Altera believes that by combing the ARMv8 A53 cores and Intel's 14nm tri-gate transistors they will be able to provide FPGA performance that is "two times the core performance" of current high-end 28nm options.
While this news might upset some people internally at Intel's architecture divisions, the news couldn't be better for ARM. Intel is universally recognized as being the process technology leader, generally a full process node ahead of the competition from TSMC and GlobalFoundries. I already learned yesterday that many of ARM's partners are skipping the 20nm technology from non-Intel foundries and instead are looking towards the 14/16nm FinFET transitions coming in late 2014.
ARM has been working with essentially every major foundry in the business EXCEPT Intel and many viewed Intel's chances of taking over the mobile/tablet/phone space as dependent on its process technology advantage. But if Intel continues to open up its facilities to the highest bidders, even if those customers are building ARM-based designs, then it could drastically improve the outlook for ARM's many partners.
UPDATE (7:57pm): After further talks with various parties there are a few clarifications that I wanted to make sure were added to our story. First, Altera's FPGAs are primarly focused on the markets of communication, industrial, military, etc. They are not really used as application processors and thus are not going to directly compete with Intel's processors in the phone/tablet space. It remains to be seen if Intel will open its foundries to a directly competing product but for now this announcement regarding the upcoming Stratix 10 FPGA on Intel's 14nm tri-gate is an interesting progression.
Intel 2014 Desktop "Roadmap": Broadwell-K Late 2014?
Subject: General Tech, Processors | October 28, 2013 - 07:21 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, Haswell-E, Broadwell-K, Broadwell
Ivy Bridge-E was confirmed for this holiday season and Haswell-E was proclaimed to follow in Holiday 2014 bringing good tidings of comfort and joy (and DDR4). Broadwell, the Haswell architecture transitioned to a 14nm process technology, was expected to be delayed until at least 2015 because it was not on any roadmap before that.
Image credit: VR-Zone China
Until recently when something called "Broadwell-K" popped up slated for late Holiday 2014.
VR-Zone China, the site which broke this story (machine translated), cautiously assumes Broadwell-K signifies the platform will first arrive for the mainstream enthusiast. This would align with Intel's current "K" branding of unlocked processors and make sense to be introduced for the Consumer product segment without a Business offering.
If true, which seems likely, the question then becomes why. So let us speculate!
One possible (but almost definitely incorrect) reason is that Intel was able to get the overclocking challenges at 22nm solved and, thus, they want to build hype over what the enthusiasts can accomplish. Josh Walrath, our monitor of the fabrication industry's pulse at PC Perspective, did not bother entertaining the idea. His experiences suggest 14nm and 22nm are "not so different".
But, in the same discussion, Ryan wondered if Intel just could not get power low enough to release anything besides the upper mainstream parts. Rather than delay further, release the parts as they can fit in whatever TDP their market demands. Josh believes that is "as good [of a theory] as any". This also seems like a very reasonable possibility to me, too.
Two other theories: yields are sufficient for the "K" market (but nowhere else) or that Intel could be throwing a bone to the mid-range (lower than Haswell-E) enthusiast by letting them lead. It could also be almost any combination of the above or more.
Or, of course, Broadwell-K could refer to something completely arbitrary. At this point, no-one knows but anyone can guess.
So then, your turn? Comments await.
The Really Good Times are Over
We really do not realize how good we had it. Sure, we could apply that to budget surpluses and the time before the rise of global terrorism, but in this case I am talking about the predictable advancement of graphics due to both design expertise and improvements in process technology. Moore's law has been exceptionally kind to graphics. We can look back and when we plot the course of these graphics companies, they have actually outstripped Moore in terms of transistor density from generation to generation. Most of this is due to better tools and the expertise gained in what is still a fairly new endeavor as compared to CPUs (the first true 3D accelerators were released in the 1993/94 timeframe).
The complexity of a modern 3D chip is truly mind-boggling. To get a good idea of where we came from, we must look back at the first generations of products that we could actually purchase. The original 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics was comprised of a raster chip and a texture chip, each contained approximately 1 million transistors (give or take) and were made on a then available .5 micron process (we shall call it 500 nm from here on out to give a sense of perspective with modern process technology). The chips were clocked between 47 and 50 MHz (though often could be clocked up to 57 MHz by going into the init file and putting in "SET SST_GRXCLK=57"… btw, SST stood for Sellers/Smith/Tarolli, the founders of 3Dfx). This revolutionary graphics card at the time could push out 47 to 50 megapixels and had 4 MB of VRAM and was released in the beginning of 1996.
My first 3D graphics card was the Orchid Righteous 3D. Voodoo Graphics was really the first successful consumer 3D graphics card. Yes, there were others before it, but Voodoo Graphics had the largest impact of them all.
In 1998 3Dfx released the Voodoo 2, and it was a significant jump in complexity from the original. These chips were fabricated on a 350 nm process. There were three chips to each card, one of which was the raster chip and the other two were texture chips. At the top end of the product stack was the 12 MB cards. The raster chip had 4 MB of VRAM available to it while each texture chip had 4 MB of VRAM for texture storage. Not only did this product double performance from the Voodoo Graphics, it was able to run in single card configurations at 800x600 (as compared to the max 640x480 of the Voodoo Graphics). This is the same time as when NVIDIA started to become a very aggressive competitor with the Riva TnT and ATI was about to ship the Rage 128.
The silver lining behind Broadwell's delay
Subject: General Tech | October 17, 2013 - 01:06 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, Broadwell, delay
Making changes to the CPU in a line of machines creates a much larger impact on a company than changing the GPU, as even if the socket remains the same there are often feature additions and other obstacles to overcome. DigiTimes points out that for vendors who are still rolling out new product lines based on Haswell the delay of Broadwell is good news as it gives them time to sell a few Haswell machines before the chip goes EOL. For consumers looking forward to the discounts on this generation of machine when the next generation is released this news is not as welcome but then again, vendors won't need to recover as much lost income as they would have if Broadwell was released according to its original schedule.
"Intel's decision to delay the mass shipment schedule of its 14nm Broadwell-based processors by one quarter from the end of 2013 is expected to buy brand vendors some time to finish their transition from Ivy Bridge to Haswell and allow them and Intel to readjust their steps in platform transitioning, according to sources from notebook players."

Poor yeilds will delay 14nm Broadwell chips
Subject: General Tech | October 16, 2013 - 01:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, delay, Broadwell, 14nm
Sad news for those hoping to see Broadwell as Brian Krzanich confirmed that the delays we first heard about in June are still true and Broadwell will not be available until some time in 2014. This slowdown of their Tick Tick strategy has been caused by the high density of defects on wafers which is driving the yields down on these chips which not only leads to less profitability but also means that supplies will be too low to go to market with. He did give The Register some positive news, Intel is working on reducing the time it takes to implement changes to chips in production and within the next year they hope to be able to make changes to a chip three months before it is slated for release without negatively effecting yeilds.
"One of the biggest tasks that Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has set himself is reconfiguring Chipzilla so that it's quicker to build and deploy new products.
So it's a pity he has had to delay the rollout of 14-nanometer Broadwell processor chips until the first quarter of next year due to problems with quality control."

The Stylistic Q704 steps the specifications up a bit to a 12.5" semi-ruggedized tablet powered by up to an Intel Haswell i7 vPro CPU, 8GB of LPDDR3 memory, and 256GB mSATA SSD. It has a 1920x1080 resolution display, 2MP front and 5MP rear cameras, and a smart card shell or dockable keyboard. Radios include Wi-Fi (dual band 802.11n), LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS.
The Stylistic tablets will come pre-loaded with Windows 8.1.
The entire Fujitsu lineup should be available later this month at various (not yet specified) price points. For business users, the new devices are worth a look (pending reviews that verify the battery life claims).
Valve Confirms Steam Machines are not NVIDIA Exclusive
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Systems | October 10, 2013 - 06:59 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd, nvidia, Intel, Steam Machine
This should be little-to-no surprise for the viewers of our podcast, as this story was discussed there, but Valve has confirmed AMD and Intel graphics are compatible with Steam Machines. Doug Lombardi of Valve commented by email to, apparently, multiple sources including Forbes and Maximum PC.
Last week, we posted some technical specs of our first wave of Steam Machine prototypes. Although the graphics hardware that we've selected for the first wave of prototypes is a variety of NVIDIA cards, that is not an indication that Steam Machines are NVIDIA-only. In 2014, there will be Steam Machines commercially available with graphics hardware made by AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. Valve has worked closely together with all three of these companies on optimizing their hardware for SteamOS, and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future.
Ryan and the rest of the podcast crew found the whole situation, "Odd". They could not understand why AMD referred the press to Doug Lombardi rather than circulate a canned statement from him. It was also weird why NVIDIA had an exclusive on the beta program with AMD being commercially available in 2014.
As I have said in the initial post: for what seems to be deliberate non-committal to a specific hardware spec, why limit to a single graphics provider?

Dallas police are searching for at least two people after two businesses were broken into on Sunday.
The theft happened at about 7:30 a.m. along the 2000 block of Wycliff Avenue.
Surveillance cameras at Sal's Pizzeria captured the thieves on video, after police said the duo first broke into neighboring Oiishi Restaurant's front door.
"It was totally thought out," said Amy Jakova, co-owner of Sal's Pizzeria. "Every other time it was a smash and grab."
A cash register, laptop and television were stolen, police said.
The thieves broke through one of the walls at Oiishi Restaurant, into an empty storefront, then through a Sal's Pizzeria wall, police said.
Once inside the pizzeria, the suspects are seen on video pushing back a refrigerator and heading toward the cash register.
The thieves were dressed in blue from head to toe, according to surveillance footage.
The suspects were caught on video as they tried to destroy the surveillance system on their way out.
Cameras captured the thieves loading up the stolen items into a minivan.
"This was honestly the worst break-in we've ever had," Jakova said.
It's taken the last two days to repair the damage.
"It took me all day yesterday, all day today, to get everybody out here to get us back up," said Jakova. "Just to get back to normal, and we just got through a year ago, getting back to normal."
Both restaurants have recently rebuilt after sustaining serious damage from a fire back in December 2012.
The Dallas Police Department is asking anyone with information to contact authorities.

First one to review this tea, oh yeah!
Alright, let's get down to business (to defeat… the Huns! Sorry, Mulan moment). The initial smell of the steeped tea is quite lovely: cloves, rosehips, with hints of orange and berries. The first taste is initially the same, but there's a lingering aftertaste of wine, which I assume is from the "flavouring" in the ingredients. It's not horrible, but it does linger for a long time and it gives the other flavours a roundness… if you could call it that. It's not enough of a unique tea to differentiate it from other fruity + spice blends, I'm pretty sure I have tasted this same tea dozens of times, but not spent so much on the tea. Kind of disappointing considering the size of the tins and the amount one pays for them.
Overall: alright for a fruity, spicy tea. Nice for the evening since it's caffeine-free and tastes like mulled cider, but not special enough to distinguish itself from the dozens of other spicy fruit teas on the market. I'd rather spend my money on Kanpe, it has nearly the same fruity, hibiscus, cinnamon taste (minus the mistletoe, cloves, orange and marigold, but I'm not sure how much flavour they add anyways) and it's for a good cause.

text: Posted May 10, 2014 · Report post Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but this is my first post so... Anyway, I have been using the regimen for almost 2 months now (I started on March 13th). I have been seeing some improvements in my skin and I am very happy about that. On May 6th, I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out (I'm not sure this might help, but I thought I'd throw that out there). Recovery has been pretty smooth. One side of face did get swollen a little bit but it's fine. When I was sleeping on the night of May 8th, I noticed myself getting up a lot at night to scratch my face. I scratched it A LOT. When I woke up the morning after and took a shower, my face got so red and too dry. I naturally have oily skin and the BP has been drying out my skin like crazy, but I've dealt with it and it has never gotten too dry. But, what I saw after the shower was too red, dry and crazy and the only logical reason I thought of was the scratching. I haven't used BP last night because I was afraid of excessive drying and burning of my skin. I plan on using it again today but I want to check with you first. I've attached 2 photos of my skin before and after the "rash." The lighting in the pictures looks weird, sorry 'bout it. (Excuse the chipmunk face) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A SENIOR figure in Ireland's criminal underworld has been chased down the street and shot to death near his Dublin home, two years after surviving a similar assassination bid.
In the latest chapter of a long-running feud involving Irish Republican Army die-hards, Eamon Kelly, a 65-year-old gang chief dubbed "The Godfather" by Dublin's tabloid press, was shot up to six times as he fled from a lone gunman, a police detective told The Associated Press.
The Real IRA paramilitary group was suspected of the hit.
Kelly's crime empire has been increasingly at odds with Real IRA figures, who in recent years have demanded a slice of the gangsters' drug-trafficking profits in exchange for not killing them or burning down their business fronts.
In September 2010, a Real IRA man tried to shoot Kelly outside his home, but the gun jammed.
The would-be killer initially walked away, then ran back to the cowering Kelly to try again, pressing the gun to his temple, but the gun jammed again.
Authorities believe Kelly's side exacted its revenge two months ago, killing the Real IRA leader in Dublin, Alan Ryan, who received a full paramilitary funeral including gunshots over his casket.
On Tuesday, the detective said a suspected two-man Real IRA team was again waiting for Kelly to leave his home.
One gunman got out of the car, chased Kelly down the street, shot him in the back and head, then jumped back in the getaway car with a police unit in hot pursuit. The attackers abandoned the car and tried to escape on foot, but officers chased down and tackled one of them.
Police allege Kelly was a leading member of a gang that robbed banks and armoured-car cash shipments in Dublin in the 1980s and became a pioneer of Ireland's burgeoning cocaine trade.
In 1993, he became Ireland's first crime kingpin to be convicted of possessing cocaine and received a 14-year prison sentence.
The detective spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak about the matter.
Since leaving prison a decade ago, Kelly has overseen a sharp rise in tit-for-tat violence, according to authorities.
Police allege his longtime deputy, Eamon "the Don" Dunne, oversaw at least 17 murders from 2005 to his own death in 2010, when he was shot eight times in the head as he sat drinking in a Dublin pub.
Gangland killings are regular occurrences in working-class parts of Dublin and the southwest city of Limerick, where two rival crime clans, the Keane-Collopy and McCarthy-Dundon gangs, have been killing each other - and occasionally civilian bystanders - for a decade.
The Real IRA is one of several small Irish Republican Army factions that continue to mount occasional gun and bomb attacks in the neighbouring British territory of Northern Ireland.
