The Road Diary: Eagles at Colts
Horsie Not Fat EnoughFor the past six years, I've taken the Shooter Mom to a road game for our beloved Eagles. Why a road game? Frankly, they are more fun. It's more relaxed from our part, since we're not as life and death on whether the club gets a win; you just don't expect it so much on road games, so a win is more of a bonus than a relief. The players tend to...

Debunking the "missing piece" and "X-Factor" theories as Eagles take on Jags…
The hype is understandable. Eagles fans are desperate for a safety who can line his guys up and provide leadership in the secondary. Malcolm Jenkins (#27) is labeled the "missing piece" in that scenario. And then there are the "X-Factors" whom Dave Spadaro of PE.com has designated as the Birds' secret weapons: Nolan Carroll—nickel/dime CB, KR…. Brandon Graham— OLB…�...

Eagles Make Splashes in First Week of Free Agency
The Eagles have made some splashes in Free Agency. Most of the splashes have been for the Special Teams unit and the Defense.

Fedora Giving Away Mini-PCs Including Raspberry Pi
Fedora has kicked off its Summer of Hardware Sweepstakes, giving away over 200 open hardware devices.
Fedora has kicked off its Summer of Hardware event which offers over 200 open hardware devices for Fedora contributors in a random drawing. As seen in the teaser above, the giveaway specifically coughs up fifty OLPC 1.75 units, 150 Raspberry Pi units, and 20 Arduino + Shield units. Applications will be accepted until August 15, 2012.
To qualify, participants must have a Fedora Project Account, and must have signed the Fedora Project Contributor Agreement. Participants must also be a member of at least one non-CLA / FPCA Fedora Group, and a legal resident of a participating country/region. Don't meet these requirements? Sorry, no mini-PC for you.
For the uninitiated, the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) 1.75 is an ARM-based, low-power laptop aimed at introducing children to technology and learning materials. The Raspberry Pi is a tiny ARM-based computer, about the size of your palm, that can be connected to a TV and a keyboard. The Arduino is a single-board microcontroller with an open hardware design and open source compiler and boot loader, expandable with add-ons called 'shields.'
Fedora is an RPM-based, general purpose collection of software including an OS based on the Linux kernel. It's developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. The Fedora Project launched back in late 2003 when Red Hat Linux was discontinued.
According to the Sweepstakes official rules, participants must be a legal resident of Australia (excluding the states of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory), Belgium, Canada (excluding Quebec), Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, or the United States (excluding New York and Florida).
Participants must also be of the age of majority in his/her jurisdiction of residence at the time of entry. Qualifying participants can head here to get one of the three mini-PCs of their choice.

Provo • Before almost every BYU football practice this month, a couple of offensive linemen have walked into new offensive line coach Garett Tujague's office to find out who would run with the first team that day.
"It is that unsettled," Tujague said, when asked Friday if he's ready to name a "starting five" along the offensive line. "Not even close [to naming starters]. We don't want anybody feeling comfortable."
Even the only returning full-time starter, sophomore Ryker Mathews, has not been told he will start on Aug. 31 against Virginia, although it would be a shocker if he doesn't, despite double hip surgery in the offseason.
Friday, the first teamers in the 11-on-11 scrimmages viewed by the media were Mathews at left tackle, junior Solomone Kafu at left guard, sophomore Terrance Alletto at center, junior Brock Stringham at right guard and junior Michael Yeck at right tackle.
Second-stringers were Cole Jones (LT), Quinn Lawlor (LG), Brayden Kearsley (C), Kyle Johnson (RG) and De'Ondre Wesley (RT). Senior Manaaki Vaitai has played some center and some guard at camp on both the first and second teams, but was not with either unit Friday.
Perhaps the closest battle for a starting job is at right tackle, where the 6-foot-8 Yeck is trying to hold off the hard-charging Wesley, a 6-foot-7, 330-pound transfer from Diablo Valley (Calif.) Community College.
"That's very accurate," Tujague said. "De'Ondre has flipped the switch, and is starting to play like the kid we saw on film, that we recruited. He is starting to play the game faster, and that's huge."
Kearsley, the highly recruited freshman from Aloha, Ore., is also pushing Alletto at center, and Tujague has said he's not against rotating centers if he has to in order to keep fresh bodies on the field.
Kearsley "is fearless," Tujague said. "You tell him to do something, and it is done. He is not worried about hurting anybody's feelings. And he is good enough to back it up.
"He's a puppy, and he's got to learn some hard knocks, and stuff like that," Tujague said. "But I just love his attitude and aggression and the way he attacks the game. He physically understands the game of football — leverage and all that stuff. So you incorporate that with a fearless mentality, and you've got a [potential starter]."
Other position battles on offense
The depth chart on offense is set almost everywhere else, at least for first-team spots.
Receivers coach Guy Holliday said Cody Hoffman, Skyler Ridley, Ross Apo, Mitch Mathews and J.D. Falslev will all play a lot, so whichever names are at the top of the depth chart at receiver when one is released a week from today is not all that important.
"Right now, the way I feel, is 'pick your poison,'" Holliday said. "I feel really confident with where we are right now."
Defensive battles
The best battle for a starting spot on the defense is at the inside linebacker position referred to as the "buck linebacker" in coach Bronco Mendenhall's 3-4 defense.
"Great battle," Mendenhall said Friday. "Tyler Beck and Manoa [Pikula] are almost dead even."
The starting "mike linebacker" will be Oregon State transfer Uani Unga, while senior stars Kyle Van Noy and Spencer Hadley will handle the outside linebacker spots.
However, Hadley might play inside a few plays in order to get junior Alani Fua on the field at outside linebacker.

Soba Salad with Grilled Sweet Potato, Eggplant, and Red Pepper
Randy Mayor; Melanie J. Clarke
To streamline the preparation, cook the noodles ahead of time, and have the vegetables already marinating in a bag. Another quick tip: Remove the potato slices from the simmering water using a slotted spoon, then return the water to a boil, and use the same pot to cook the soba. Use a spatula to carefully turn the potatoes on the grill so they won't stick.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 1/4 cups soba mixture, 3 slices sweet potato, 2 slices eggplant, and 1 bell pepper wedge)

ADL launches series on culture of 'Defiance'
The Anti-Defamation League will present "Celebrating Defiance," a series of nine concerts, exhibitions, lectures and film screenings exploring the work of composers, visual artists, writers and poets who used their art to chronicle and transcend the dire circumstances of their lives under the Nazi regime.
The events kick off Aug. 29 at the William Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum, with a panel of artists discussing the role of art in illuminating tragedy, and continue through Nov. 5 with a lecture and concert at the Kennesaw State University School of Music. The Breman also opens the exhibit "Theresienstadt Remembered" on Aug. 29, featuring items that survived the Terezín Concentration Camp such as art glass, personal letters and documents (on view through Oct. 26).
The series centerpiece is an Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus performance on Oct. 11 of "Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín," a multimedia concert that tells the story of the Jewish prisoners at Theresienstadt who gave 16 performances of the Verdi Requiem Mass in 1943 and '44 before most were transported to the gas chamber at Auschwitz. (The concert is expected to be rescheduled if current contract negotiations between ASO management and the musicians are not resolved by the concert date.)

E! reports that Kara DioGuardi is coming back at significantly less pay than the other three. That makes sense.
What else is DioGuardi going to do? As for "Idol," they must have known viewers are split on her. Some like her. Some don't. I'm kind of indifferent. Occasionally, she'd add some interesting insight into the issue of marketability but as the show went on, she became more and more of a mindless cheerleader. We'll see if things change this year because it looks like we're stuck with four judges again. (I can't imagine Paula Abdul NOT coming back.)
Jordin Sparks opened last week at a modest 48,000 copies, ranked No. 7 for the week. This, despite a top 11 hit in "Battlefield." (It's almost top 10 and should make it.)
Her first album opened at 119,000 copies.
She is more of a download artist. She sold more than 4.5 million downloads from her first four singles. Her debut album only sold about one million copies.
Daughtry's "Leave This Town" slipped down to about 100,000 copies sold, falling to No. 2 for the week. His single "No Surprise" made it into the top 20 for the first time.
Kellie Pickler's "Best Days of Your Life" edged up to No. 9 on the country chart, her highest charting single so far. (Thank you, Taylor Swift, who co-wrote the song and showed up in her video!) Bucky Covington's "I Want My Life Back" peaked at No. 31 and is now slipping.
-Meanwhile, Kelli Glover, who almost made it to the top 10 season one of "American Idol," found herself in a similar position on "America's Got Talent." The judges cut her in Vegas, the last person cut in fact before the final 40 were named. "This is not fair," she said, very angrily, as she departed. "I can sing better than anybody in here."
Poor Kelli. But at least "AGT" finally gets to the live portion of the competition next week. I love that little girl who sang Tina Turner. Sure, she has zero chance of winning but she was so entertaining. Who will win at this point? The former chicken catcher farmer dude Kevin Skinner has a shot. I truly liked him. So does baritone singer Lawrence Beaman. (Both were featured at the end of Tuesday night's episode.)
They did can the Susan Boyle wannabe Kari Callin with nary a word, thank goodness. She didn't even make the first cut in Vegas. She honestly was not that good. I had no clue why she even got the reaction she did from the judges.
Overscene: Anoop Desai at the Vortex in Little Five Points having a burger Thursday at about 1 p.m.. A friend of mine saw him. That's just down the block from the Variety Playhouse where I saw him a couple months ago for the Amos Lee concert. I guess the "Idols" (at least the ones who are not in the middle of producing an album) have a day off before tomorrow night's concert.

Like I wrote in the last thread… I think Paula may be on the way out. Everyone knows that four judges caused problems with running long, and more people seemed to have disliked the four judge format. If Paula hasn't signed this late in the game… she may not be signed at all.
July 30th, 2009
9:56 am
Oh.. and way to go Deidre! You beat Rodney to the punch with the E onlie story!
Should we call you "Scoop?"
July 30th, 2009
10:03 am
re-posting from that last thread..
Was watching AGT last night and saw that the former Idol contestant (Kellie Glover) got passed over for the top 40. While I think her little "I can sing better than anyone here" tirade made me much less sympathetic to her… for her to get passed over and some of the freak show acts (like the light bulb chewing guy) made it through was incomprehensible.
They must have a quota system, X number of singers, Y number of dance acts, Z number of freak shows.
And if Hasselhoff isn't the most smarmy, self-absorbed, pompous celebrity on the planet… he's at least in the top three.
July 30th, 2009
10:06 am
The cutting of Kelli Glover was a travesty. She has the look and definitely the talent to go far in her singing. I dont think AGT is truly the place for serious musicians anyway, more of a circus tent sideshow. Please, Top 40 for a couple who juggle chain saws.
Kelli, girl you stay the course . Your time is coming for sure. Have faith.
July 30th, 2009
10:34 am
Hey y'all!
I like Kara (for more than the obvious) and I'm willing to give her another chance to fit in with the judges. I can't imagine it would be easy to be the new kid in class. I think she handled it pretty well…and she's actually a pretty good singer, definitely a lot better than Paula.
July 30th, 2009
10:50 am
Rickster, I find the freak shows on AGT to be annoying, too. I think the sweet lady with the cleft palate who had faced rejection her whole life based on her looks was SO much more talented than that annoying little 8 year old who warbles off tune and giggles at every freakin' thing. This is obviously not about finding real talent, or it would be much more watchable. It makes me sad.
Kelli Glover was phenomenal in her audition and I was heartbroken to see her passed over. I think I'm going to stop watching this one. I just get mad every week at the aging womanizer who drools over anything in a tight outfit. Ick. If I wanted to see that, I'd go visit my relatives.
July 30th, 2009
10:53 am
Thank you Rodney! For the picture that is, thanks for the information too, but I can only enjoy reading the blog once, the picture is a gift that will keep on giving.
I'm not anti-Kara, I'm anti four judges. Kara, meh. I'd take her over Randy and Paula, but then I'd take a sock puppet over Randy and Paula.
Thanks for the numbers. 4.5 million downloads, very nice.
July 30th, 2009
10:56 am
Right on, JT…but I'd rather look at Kara than Randy or Paula. Just sayin'.
Slightly OT, I just saw that Gretchen Wilson is starting her own label. Someone needs to follow that lead.
July 30th, 2009
11:23 am
True K&Cfan, let me break this down in terms of who I'd rather see:
Kara > Sock Puppet > Paula > Randy
July 30th, 2009
11:25 am
I think I've made my feelings known on this plenty of times. No objection to Kara…major objection to 4 judges. If this is how they will get rid of Paula, then most of us were right last year about Paula being on her way out.
I think that Heather has stated my opinion about AGT about as perfectly as it can be stated. I can pick maybe 1 or 2 contestants each year who are really talented….the others are just there for show…and to massage David Hasselhoff's………..well, not his ego.
July 30th, 2009
11:35 am
LOL — I think there are more than one or two, BUT i agree, most of them are just … bleh. that's why i was surprised when the burlesque group Lollipop was turned away Tuesday night, LOL!!!
Did anyone ELSE watch SYTYCD last night? Brandon's solo. Oh. Oh. Oh.
July 30th, 2009
11:52 am
Brandon's solo was one of the best that I've seen on SYTYCD. Even the judges gave him a standing O. If I had to pick the winner today, without a doubt it would be him. He is totally awesome. When the contestants are standing next to Cat Deeley, they all look so short. She is one tall lady, although I know she has on 3 – 4 inch heels.
I still disagree with having four judges, but my opinion doesn't carry any weight. Since Kara has a sesaon behind her, she just may have learned how to judge properly.
Is Paula's contract up or does she still have time left on it? If she does, most likely, she will be back, unless it becomes null and void.
July 30th, 2009
12:17 pm
I've also been curious as to Cat's height and just looked it up… her bio says she's 5′9″. But I guess if you wear 6″ heels on top of being her height, that would put you about 6′3″
July 30th, 2009
12:18 pm
I honestly thought she was taller than 5′9″ tho
July 30th, 2009
12:39 pm
Skinny people look taller. The only person I've seen skinnier than her was comedienne (And Atlantan) Pam "Bones" Stone.
July 30th, 2009
12:46 pm
paula needs to go – she is running the fuel out of her 4 cliches and does not seem to have the ability to articulate to any further level.
July 30th, 2009
1:56 pm
I find that Randy is WAY more "cliche" dependent than Paula. What Paula lacks in articulation she makes up for in uniqueness. Randy as nothing new to say at all.
July 30th, 2009
1:56 pm
I am shocked and I am going to cry this is the worst news I have ever heard in a while I don't think I am going to watch so I only care for Paula to return cause she wants to not cause I am going to watch , one season of four judges is enough I will not be able to watch , it s certain for me now producers doesn't care what fans feel so I will not care too right now my stomach statrting to cramp and my mouth is dry I feel terrible and so shockedddd . Why are they doing this more than 90% of Idol fans hated this idea and they are redoing it . worst news ever !SHOCKED SO SAD4 Judges again ? Kara again ? WHY ? She has no charisma and completely ruined the chemistryWhat on earth have we ever done to producers to do it again do you hate fans guys ? like 90% of fans or more hated the idea and you do it again I want to scream from the deepest area in my stomach for 2 hours my mouth is so dry now and I am so sad I swear I am going to cry I love the show I love Paula Ryan and Simon but I can't watch it again cause , 3 judges are the best 4 judges is too bad too annoying too irritating too awful Well good luck to Paula Ryan and Simon but I will not be able to watch idol next season I dont wat to sound like bad fan so thanks for good times of Idol I am surely gonna miss the show Good luck specially to Paula who I feel so terrible I am not being able to watch if she returns and this what makes me even more sad now
: Fox denied the news I am praying it s not correct and it s just a rumor .
July 30th, 2009
1:58 pm
Thanks for the info cookie on Cat's height.
Just received a call from West Ga Medical Center to come to LaGrange. It's my Dad again. Will let ya'll know what is happening when I find out. Say some prayers and keep your fingers crossed for me and him.
July 30th, 2009
1:59 pm
Yeah, not a fan of Kara and def not a fan of 4 judges. Can they please promise us that she is not going to write the coronation song this time!?!?!?!?
Haven't seen last nights SYTYCD yet, looking forward to it!
July 30th, 2009
2:07 pm
Nana, hope all goes well. Fingers, toes, and legs crossed for you!
Wow, lovepaula&ryan, you sure feel strongly about it. To each their own, I guess. I kinda liked Kara's youthful and spunky personality.
July 30th, 2009
2:12 pm
I WILL NOT WATCH IDOL WITHOUT PAULA ABDUL. Thats all I have to say.
July 30th, 2009
2:13 pm
Who cares about AI you have to be braindead to watch this crap
July 30th, 2009
2:15 pm
paula has to be back. thats all i care about. nobody cares about diguardy. there are millions of keeppaula tweets on twitter. zero keepkara tweets. doesnt that say it all???
July 30th, 2009
2:16 pm
July 30th, 2009
2:17 pm
What matters is that Paula returns. whatever happens to Kara, I dont give a damn. she is the female randy, nobody cares what Kara Or randy does. kara could drop off the face of the earth and nobody would care
Paula however has millions of fans who care about her!
July 30th, 2009
2:19 pm
I wonder if "No Boundaries" is the reason why Kara is making so much less than the others? It was a horrible song. She deserves to be punished!
(But then again, if it's on anyone's album, she gets a share of the royalties, right?)
July 30th, 2009
2:33 pm
Well, at least 1 person likes Paula. Hey wait a minute, is this Paula blogging with us? I think it is! I'm sorry, but I don't think the producers are going to read this blog and suddenly say "gee I guess Paula does deserve 12 million!"
July 30th, 2009
2:45 pm
lp&r is a product of the melville school of run-on sentences, I see. LOL I'm not too thrilled about Kara returning, but I also don't care if Paula returns. It seems to me that the others are just space filler until Simon speaks, anyway. Randy is too hung up on catch phrases and Kara is just not very intelligent sometimes. At least Paula seems genuinely sweet to the contestants.
July 30th, 2009
3:05 pm
When it comes to rambling commentary… we can see why lp&r loves Paula so much!
July 30th, 2009
3:22 pm
Heather, it could be the Joycean school of stream-of-consciousness, too.
July 30th, 2009
3:27 pm
LOL!!!! You guys are hilarious!
Yep…I think there's ONE person who really likes Paula!
Nana…my thoughts and prayers!
July 30th, 2009
3:28 pm
I think we need to introduce lp&r to B-shep. I'd be fascinated to listen to their conversations.
July 30th, 2009
3:30 pm
Is it me or does Paula show up to EVERY show drunk or stoned or something? That might be why she hasn't been renewed. And the Paula/Simon show is getting old to me anyway.
July 30th, 2009
3:38 pm
whew…. kids are getting bored school just around the corner thank Goodness! and to the falconexile: "Who cares about AI you have to be braindead to watch this crap" — speaking of braindead, what kind of person with any brains at all goes onto blog sites of things they could not care less about and actually takes the time to comment???? on something that they disdain completely, apparently??? i mean…
i'm just sayin'
i just have to wonder, frankly how much of the paula-love is tongue-in-cheek…
just askin'!
July 30th, 2009
3:38 pm
And JT and K&CF… don't forget to right click and "save as."
Amazing what some air brushing can do. Kara never looked that good during the show.
July 30th, 2009
3:39 pm
wjones…Paula is Paula…that's just how she is…Rodney ran a video interview with her while she was filming a cameo for Drop Dead Divas and the one thing I learned from it was that Paula is a space cadet no matter what she takes or doesn't take.
Now, I totally agree with you on the Simon/Paula show getting old…and boring! The coloring book and crayons were a cute put down of Simon last year right up until they started drawing on each other and then it just got icky!
July 30th, 2009
3:52 pm
lp&r, please learn some grammar or make your posts much, much shorter. It simply takes waaaay too much time trying to decipher WTF you're trying to say.
I, too, could satisfied with Kara (or by Kara? – that was for JT's benefit) as long as Paula did not return. It needs to be one or the other. Four judges just did not work.
I discount anything "Fox" says (it's always some ubiquitous source) since they do not produce the show and really have no control over it.
And couldn't this 'news' about Kara coming back be the producer's subtle way of telling Paula and her new manager to sit down and shut up?! …I'm just sayin'.
July 30th, 2009
3:55 pm
OK, make that "could BE satisfied."
July 30th, 2009
4:02 pm
lol, Rickster….I've already "right clicked and saved" but the finale pics were better.
FYI, Paula tweeted: "Hi everyone. I've been quiet as we are trying to work out details of how I can return to #Idol."
July 30th, 2009
4:16 pm
"Return" to Idol? You only return if you have left. So Paula actually left Idol? Or is she just being her sweet, irrational, grammar-challenged self?
July 30th, 2009
4:22 pm
Kelli Glover got shafted on AGT. Although she can't "sing better than anyone here," she is definitely better than most of the other "acts" they put through. And she's a much better singer than Mia, the hippy chick they put through.
One of the problems with AGT is the producer's (and judge's) propensity for putting through some mediocre talent based more on their 'poor, pitiful me' back story. At times, AGT is the TMZ of talent shows. More tabloid than talent. ("When I was younger I survived measles, then I lost my big toe in a paper shredder accident but look at me now. I'm here to show America that you can always come back from adversity!")

Time for me to run for the day. Enjoyed the conversation and comments. Hope Nana's dad is ok, or if not, she is, at least. SYTYCD tonight!
July 30th, 2009
6:26 pm
I thought the show was better without Kara, not it takes too long having her comments in. Things don't flow right in the show anymore. I was happy with just Paula, Randy and Simon.
July 30th, 2009
7:46 pm
Don't worry next year will be better. The judging will start off with Kara, go to a sock puppet, and then end with Simon. We will be back to the top 5 singing 2 songs each, and the top 4 singing 2 songs each and everyone will rejoice.
July 31st, 2009

one can only hope, JT, one can ONLY hope!!!
July 31st, 2009
1:47 am
Boo! Hiss-hiss! Thanks for ruining my day with the Kara news. I was REALLY hoping she would not be back. Guess my idea of rotating guest judges, including former Idol contestants, is just too far ahead of its time. I'll just have to quit watching the show…no, that ain't gonna happen!
Linny, thanks for the rebuttal to falconreject, falconexile or whatever. If you don't like Idol, no need to comment. There are plenty of other blogs to inhabit.
Nana, hoping for the best for your dad. We're all pulling for him and thinking of you.
And wherever you are, Diana DeGarmo— good night and stay beautiful!

Harriett, Either way, it's hard to read!! LOL
July 31st, 2009
8:07 am
Good morning! I actually think Kara coming in this past season, was Ken's way of preparing America for his phase out of Paula. Although, she did seek help last year, she was definitely a liabliity with obvious misuse of prescription drugs which she denied even using for the longest time. four judges was too many and I think Ken is ready to cut Paula loose. I would have perferred a judge similar to her because she was usually the nicest person even if it meant saying, "nice dress".
July 31st, 2009
8:10 am
A shout-out to Nana! Just to let you know we're thinking about you!
SYTYCD was just about what was expected. I think Brandon may have this one in the bag.
I'm enjoying the needed rain but, considering we were supposed to get our hail-damaged roof replace today and tomorrow…the timing could have been better.
JT, has it cooled off a little up your way?
July 31st, 2009

Deirdre, upper 90's so yes it is cooler, but not cool enough. We need some 60° weather with a day of non-stop rain.
July 31st, 2009
9:16 am
g'morning crew — My only disappointment was that Melissa did not make it through instead of Jannine. [in fact i thought jannine should have gone weeks ago, certainly instead of janette] I felt she [Melissa] was much better, consistently growing and working SO far outside her training. It's really really hard to overcome the "rules" of ballet to do other dances, and to do them as well as she did …. but 3 out of 4 faves for me isn't too bad. I'm just happy Evan made it through — may seem oldfashioned or old fogeyish to many, but that boy has true dancing talent — he's not so much a "trick" dancer as a pure dancer in the genre of Kelly and Astaire. Not bad for a short guy *ducking*
I think Brandon SHOULD be the winner — my only concern is that the voters who've been around MAY have a small backlash to two strong black males winning in a row, and thus give Kayla a slight edge. And I think Kayla DESERVES to be in the two two, regardless. My order, personally, for elimination next week is Jannine, then(sigh) Evan, then Kayla then Brandon.
I may NEVER forget that solo Tuesday night. Is it on YouTube yet???
ok so the only relation to AI is that it's a competition show…. LOL
July 31st, 2009
9:17 am
err that would be in the "TOP two", not "two two" – d'oh
July 31st, 2009
9:41 am
Linny… maybe that should have been "tu tu" rather than "two two." After all… it's a DANCE show!
July 31st, 2009
9:42 am
*sigh* Yes, D, she sure does….it definitely was nice to wake up to her.
July 31st, 2009

Hey gang, a quick update.
Since I'm using a computer, you must know that right now I'm not at the hospital. Had to bring keys to my office so the employee paychecks could be disbursed to them. I left in a hurry yesterday and never thought about giving the checks to my boss.
Dad is in CCU, but is stable. His b/p dropped to 57/43 yesterday and that casued a big concern, but is up to 90/70 this morning. All test results are not in, so still don't know if infact, it was a heart attack, but it is his heart that is acting up. This is all I know for now. Heading back down in about 30 minutes, so I will check in when I get another chance. Thanks for all the concerns, well wishes and prayers. You all are a great bunch of people.
July 31st, 2009
10:36 am
Prayers, Nana — going out continually! just keep us posted.
July 31st, 2009
10:40 am
Nana, good to hear some small piece of good news, hoping the rest is better. Continued thoughts, prayers, and good wishes your way.
JT, it's raining and low 80s here…but I would love some 60s. At least the tepms are going the right way for you.
Anyone actually going to the show tonight? I hear some unconfirmed reports that Adam was at Blake's last night. Paging, Peach Buzz!
July 31st, 2009
11:18 am
Morning! Late getting here today with all my last-minute stuff to do before I leave for a week's vacation. Tomorrow I am headed for the beautiful South Carolina coast to be a beach bum for a week. Hope the weather holds out, but I love the beach in all kinds of weather.
SYTYCD: just about what I thought. Glad, too, linny, that Evan made it through. I am thinking he might outdo Brandon if his fan base has anything to do with it. He has consistently fooled everyone who thought each week he'd be the next to go. People love him. Having said that, I agree that Brandon and Kayla belong in the top two.
July 31st, 2009

I can hear, in the distance, Roy Rogers, with his cowboys, and maybe even dale…. "Tumbling Tumbleweeds", LOL!!! sho' is quiet in heah!!!

Sorry for my absence. My dog Maggie knocked a slat loose from our fence and she and Scarlett went off to explore the neighborhood. We got Scarlett back in a couple of hours but we just found Maggie(who had circled the house a few times during the day just to let us know that she was still alive).
Needless to say, she is in deep doo-doo!
July 31st, 2009
4:46 pm
that sounds like a fun afternoon for you, D.
Linny, I checked in a time or two, but well, I wasn't exactly in the mood to just talk to myself…
July 31st, 2009
4:50 pm
D, glad you got them both back!
K&C, Harriett and I felt the same way, communicated via email— "anyone there, or is it just me" sort of thing… i finally decided after nearly 5 hours to let the world know we're still functional, LOL!!!
y'all have a great weekend!!!

It was with great surprise that I recently read Vinod Khosla's op-ed criticizing energy companies, including Chevron, for not doing enough to invest in low-carbon fuel technologies ("Investment needed in new low-carbon fuel," March 7).
Khosla highlights one of his own companies, KiOR, as an example of the kind of technology that will help fuel producers meet California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard. We agree. That's why our joint venture with Weyerhaeuser, one of the largest U.S. forest management companies, is working closely with KiOR to provide all of the wood chips needed to create the biofuels. When KiOR's facility starts operations, Chevron will purchase 40 percent of the output to be blended into fuels at our Mississippi refinery. This will make Chevron the largest blender of advanced cellulosic biofuels.
Over the last five years, we have collaborated with the Department of Energy, various universities and several advanced biofuels startup companies, and have established a joint venture with Weyerhaeuser. We have also conducted in-house innovative research and development, testing more than 100 different feedstocks and 50 conversion technologies to identify ways to make low-carbon fuel that would be commercial, scalable and affordable for customers. If and when these hurdles are overcome, capital investment will surely follow.
However, all of this activity has led us to conclude that the LCFS, as currently written, is not achievable due to technology, resource and market limitations. In fact, we are convinced the costs to California businesses, consumers and the economy are likely to be profound and are as yet unrecognized by most people.
While we will continue to work with companies like KiOR to find ways to develop low-carbon fuels at scale, we believe current policy should be reconsidered to avoid unintended adverse consequences, which will be felt by consumers and the state's economy.
Chevron has had a very strong and constructive relationship with the California Air Resources Board as it has navigated the implementation of the LCFS, and we will continue to work with the state to find solutions that advance emissions goals while maintaining a strong economy.
Dave Reeves is president of downstream strategy, technology and commercial integration for the Chevron Corp.

This is an issue with how floating point numbers are handled.
0.47 is converted from a string into binary to be manipulated. Then you do stuff to it. Finally it is converted back into a string (in base 10) to be displayed. The problem is that some decimal numbers (floating points) can't be exactly defined in a finite number of binary places. This is exactly the same problem you have with representing 1/3 in decimal notation in base10 (0.333333333…)

All Credit Goes to: Helena Lehman. You can find this article on the following link on her website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pillar-of-Enoch-Bible-Study-News/message/1929 or http://pillar-of-enoch.com
I am writing today to issue an emergency spiritual warning to the Body of Christ
and a call to prayer. The fact that Obama, his wife and daughters are leaving
the USA to go on diplomatic visits to Mumbai and several other Asian locales
beginning November 3rd should be a cause for much prayer in the Body of Christ.
This is because India is one of the biggest hotbeds of demonic and occult
activity in the world. It is also near to morally bankrupt Indonesia, where
Barack spent part of his childhood, as well as to Tibet, the "Epicenter of Evil"
identified in my book: "The Language of God in History." As such, could Obama be
going there now because it has something to do with his spiritual mission as a
"son of perdition"?
Entire Taj Mahal Hotel Reportedly Booked for Obama Mumbai Visit:
Obama's November 2010 trip to Asia includes about 3000 other people including
Secret Service agents, journalists, and members of Obama's administration. As
such, it will cost US taxpayers about 20 million dollars a day! Could this mass
presidential exodus after historic wins by the GOP in the 2010 election be a
warning that a massive attack is scheduled to hit US soil in the very near
future and the President, his family, and his friends have left to avoid
annihilation? Only time will tell, but something very suspicious IS going on and
all believers in Yahshua need to be praying fervently for God's mercy on and
protection for themselves and the citizens of America right now!
US to spend $200 million a day on Obama's Mumbai visit:
In an effort to end this dire warning on a somewhat positive note, however, I
believe that there is every indication in the heavens with the triple
Jupiter-Uranus conjunctions of 2010-2011 and on the Earth with the massive
increase in "natural disasters" (i.e. Acts of God!) over the past few years that
a Rapture event could happen any day now. I therefore remain optimistic that the
Bride of Christ may soon be singing songs of praise to her Bridegroom in Heaven
at the joyful Wedding of the Lamb.

Robert Watson Kuecher Affidavit
I, Robert Kuecher, now residing in Hollywood, California, being duly sworn, gives the following statements as my recollections of family knowledge concerning certain materials which were once the property of Abraham Lincoln and used in his Springfield, Illinois home.
Purchased at the sale on Lincoln's death by John B. Kuecher:
These things were hauled to the John Kuecher home by a driver for Baum's Monument company. The toilet set and quilt were given to my parents for a wedding present. .A desk and the rocking chair were delivered to my sister, Alice Harlow, during her first year at the old Lincoln School. They have been stored in her home at 1328 Monroe Street, Springfield, Illinois.
were given to John Kuecher by Abraham Lincoln to purchase rope, and for helping to rope two of Lincoln's trunks. These coins were given to my Father by John Kuecher for a wedding present.
Lincoln gave the couch to John Kuecher and helped deliver it to the Kuecher home in the wheelbarrow. The lantern was brought along to light Lincoln's way home. The lantern and barrow were given to John Kuecher by Lincoln because Lincoln would have no further use for them. The couch later went to my Uncle, Julius Kuecher, who later gave it to me and I gave it to Lincoln's Home where it is now, and an affidavit is on file with State of Illinois.
Items 8 and 9 were given to Lincoln by a Springfield friend and were given to Elizabeth Kuecher, my Grandmother, by Mrs. Lincoln. Mr. Kuecher later gave the hymn books to my English Grandmother, Betsy Webster, and I inherited them from her.
All items listed that I now own, I sell all right, title and interest to Emily E. Barker, Springfield, Illinois.

Nutrition Consultant,
This conversation is closed.
What is the best diet for weight loss and keeping it off?
I'm trying to put EVERYTHING into the equation: animal rights, ethics, economy, lifestyle, culinary arts, healthcare priorities and above all, reality...what works best and stays that way?
Vegan, local, paleo, moderation? All of these?
Are dairy products really bad for us? Since when? Worse than fast food? Is sugar really worse than honey?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 26 2013: Melissa, the comments underneath the talk on diabetes that was posted yesterday is quite enlightening.
I hope you are following it.
Also enlightening is Peter Attia's site, where he posts his own personal diet routine.......lots of fat.
I would be interested in learning anything you know about msg, or if anyone in the medical community that reads this message knows something or can provide any links to verified data, I would really appreciate it.
The site msgtruth.org has a compilation of information from different sources......I am a bit confused about all the information for and against msg.
What do you think?
Jun 26 2013: Hi Mary! I am actually following the diabetes talk you mention, and I'm really inspired by Dr. Attia. I have yet to visit his site, thanks for the recommendation.
About MSG, what can I say? I absolutely do not recommend it. I prefer using herbs, salt and spices. It is an ingredient in junk food and both things should be avoided altogether.
Plus, further studies are needed, but it might cause insulin overproduction... which plays a huge role in obesity.

What images spring to mind when this word is heard during the course of polite conversation?
For example, "I only want to be seen with hot _____ " (fill in the blank), usually implies an intentional look that will attract attention as equipment for some task or other.
I myself find ways to use this word which stimulate in order to suggest excitement for something in meaningul ways, rather than to formulate opinions which arouse suspicion rather than admiration. Hot… is a great marketing tool. Hot is not suggestive, instead it's flashy. It's a word with recognition, that makes the wary consumer, interested.
Hot is not brazen, and shouldn't be 'used' … 'hot' is not a human characteristic.
I once argued this point with teenagers… at least the attempt was made. It's difficult to suggest to beautiful young girls (the ones with beauty which exudes, and shines through the obvious … the ones with stature, and credibility… without guilt), that, even if someone respected speaks to you or anyone else in ways seemingly complimentary, using this particular word, which has been wasted with disregard for the embodiment of elevated graceful female opinion, the implication is not respectful, and I so wish it was not desirable.
'You're worth more than that,' though being the correct response to the situation, implies acceptability, somehow… 'it's just not acceptable' to define this word as used, without concise guidelines for the significance of what makes an example of specific definition, different from all the rest… 'it's not at all ok' to relegate an individual into a trait.
Who's hot, may not be what's hot, and it doesn't make anyone look cool.
On the other hand, what's hot, if it's not sensible and flat… might just be Gucci ;)

The Dallas Cowboys have been very straightforward about their desire to have offensive tackle Doug Free take a pay cut and remain with the team, but there is a belief that the two sides will part ways if they cannot renegotiate Free's current deal.
While it seems that the Cowboys and Free are prepared to split ways if they don't reach a deal, Dallas owner Jerry Jones seems much more optimistic that things will work out and Free will return to the team for the start of the season.
"I'd like to keep him," Jones said. "We think that Doug Free can be an important part of the team. He's been here. We know him. We think that with what we're doing in other parts of our offense, certainly in the offensive line, that this will bode well for him. So we think he can really be an asset to us.
"It's no secret that we're trying to renegotiate the contract, but I think it's a wrong assessment to say that anybody's saying 'take it or leave it' or we're at our wit's end or those kinds of things. That's just not the way I see it going."
It is hard to believe that Free could find more money elsewhere on the market, so he will likely cave in and accept the pay cut in order to stay in Big D.

First of 3 winter storms bring heavy snows to Northeast
New York, NY, United States (4E) – Flights were cancelled or delayed in New York and New Jersey airports stranding Super Bowl visitors as rain turned into snow Monday with the entry of the first of three winter storms predicted to hit the Northeast in the next two or so days.
Snow started falling in New York areas around 4 a.m. and weather forecasters predicted 4 to 8 inches of snow by evening.
Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark airports cancelled 100, 485 and 372 flights, respectively, by noon and 1 p.m. on Monday while inbound flights were delayed 2 to 3 hours leaving many Super Bowl fans stranded. Train services are also delayed, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Schools in the suburbs cancelled classes or delayed opening.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency on Monday to deal with dangerous road conditions and ordered a staggered closure of state offices starting noon so workers can go home.
In Philadelphia, rush hour snowfall forced schools and government offices to close. Suburban areas recorded seven or eight inches of snow. Forecasters said 4 to 8 inches of snow is expected until 4 p.m. Slick and slushy road already caused a number of crashes, including two mishaps that closed the southbound lane of Interstate 95 and the northbound lane of I-476 in West Chester.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority halted bus services as roads lose traction while Philadelphia International Airport cancelled nearly 400 departing and arriving flights.
In Delaware, numerous crashes were reported in New Castle County's I-95 and I-495. State police responded to 25 crashes at 10 a.m. and another 15 crashes from noon to 2 p.m. A number of district and charter schools were closed.
Meanwhile, a second winter storm is expected to dump 5 to 10 inches of snow from Colorado to Iowa Tuesday followed by a third storm expected to strike across the country near the end of the week.

Staff writers
May 8, 2012 — We've certainly seen a whirlwind of different weather conditions this spring. From 20C days in March to snow in May, people across Canada have seen a bit of everything. But how does that affect migratory birds?
Dwayne Biggar, a bird specialist in Edgetts Landing, New Brunswick says that a lot of birds are coming back from migration early -- especially hummingbirds.
"If some of the hummingbirds come back too early and the temperatures dip overnight, some of the birds will go into a torpid state," he says. "Their metabolism goes down and their heart rate and sometimes if it gets too cold they don't come out of it in the morning."
And hummingbirds aren't the only birds that are coming back early. "Blackbirds were probably two or three weeks earlier than normal," he says.
With a spring that seems to be a wild rollercoaster, Biggar says that keeping a bird feeder can save birds' lives. "If we get one of those late season snowstorms, bird feeders can be a real asset to the early migrants."
When it comes to hummingbirds, Biggar suggests making a stronger recipe. "The normal recipe is 4 parts sugar to one part water. It's a little strong, so they don't have to feed as often and it gives them a little boost to make it through the night," he says. "And it's good to make sure they are full and ready to go in the morning when they do wake up."
But when it gets hotter, Biggar says you should dilute the recipe down so it's one part sugar to one part water, because the birds will need the extra hydration.

If you're fan of the show, then you likely remember last season's Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion show.
Specifically, the moment when Porsha Williams attacked Kenya Moore probably stands out in your memory.
Most viewers expected Porsha to be fired immediately after the episode aired, yet Williams' tweets throughout the summer indicated that she would be back with her fellow castmates for season seven.
Or, at least she thought she would be:
Porsha tweeted the photo above earlier today along with a caption that seemed to suggest she'd been kicked to the curb:
"No more peach for me, but I still love checking in with my girls #Blessed #SomethingMajor #TeamPorsha"
She's referring to the peach the women each hold in the opening credits. Earlier this week NeNe Leakes quit the show (we think) and her show of support made it seem even more like Porsha had been canned. (Get it? Peaches? Canned?)
"U may not have a peach, but u still sweet," NeNe tweeted.
As it turns out, however, Porsha wasn't fired, but demoted to the status of "friend." So she'll still be on the show, just not nearly as often. And no, she won't be holding a peach in the credits.
Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online to review the many reasons why Porsha should've been fired.

Air Pollution Control
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
The Clean Air Act requires each state to develop a State Implementation Plan (SIP) describing how it will attain and maintain national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
As the only local air pollution control agency in Kentucky, APCD develops and maintains its own SIP, which includes key regulations, permits and programs necessary to achieve compliance with federal standards for certain pollutants. These pollutants include ozone and its precursors, particulates, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. Control measures for these pollutants are adopted through Board Orders, permits, or rulemaking and submitted to EPA for approval. If EPA finds the SIP unacceptable, it can enforce a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) in Jefferson County.

In June, numerous youth agencies received notice that their county contracts would be cancelled and funding eliminated on July 5 if Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano's fiscal recovery plan was not approved.
During the July 3 Hicksville Board of Education meeting, the Hicksville School District trustees and administration reorganized for the official start of the 2012-13 school year.
Newly elected trustees Brenda Judson and Phil Heckler took the oath of office, which was administered by school district attorney Gary Steffanetta of Guercio & Guercio LLP. The swearing in of all trustees followed this.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano stood in front of 689 Main Street in Westbury on July 3 to announce plans for the building to be converted to a veteran's housing complex by early 2013.
Mangano said that Nassau County awarded a $1.5 million grant from Federal HOME Investment Partnerships to the New York Veterans Advocacy Group (NYVAG), a nonprofit organization that will operate the facility.
The Rotary Club of Hicksville-Jericho installed its most recent president, officers and board of directors on June 28. Dr. James J. Bentson was inducted as the new president by fellow Rotarian Dr. Irwin Gross.
Also installed as executive officers by Dr. Gross were Elizabeth Goldfrank, vice president; Donna Rivera-Downey, secretary; and Gerry Poli, treasurer; Dr. James Bentson, past president and William Schuckmann, past president.
The Hicksville High School commencement program on Sunday, June 24 celebrated the myriad achievements and accomplishments of the Class of 2012 with a traditional outdoor ceremony that focused on future success for more than 400 graduates.
"Hicksville High School has been a wonderful school for you and because of you," said Superintendent of Schools Maureen K. Bright in her thoughtful address.
Following what Third Squad Commanding Officer Ray Cote described as a "senseless and very disturbing" attack on a 68-year-old man suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia, Josue Bonilla, 23, of New Cassel, was charged with first-degree robbery and first-degree assault.
Cote said that on April 28, the 68-year-old victim, whose identity wasn't released, wandered two-and-a-half miles from his residence in Hicksville to Grayson Street in New Cassel. Cote said Bonilla, at approximately 8:20 p.m., started kicking the victim and going through his pockets, while witnesses overheard the victim say, "I don't have anything," in Spanish.
On Saturday, June 16 more than 600 United States Marines and candidates from 14 regional recruiting stations filled Zach's Bay at Jones Beach for the annual Sergeant Majors Cup competition. Candidates waiting to deploy to boot camp, called "poolees," arrived from across the New York City region, including Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens for the Long Island-hosted competition. The competition has been held for more than 10 years, each station taking turns hosting.
Some of the boot camp-style events that the Marine candidates participated in included: pull-ups, the water jug relay, ammo can relay, stretcher relay, and tug-of-war.
Hicksville Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Tom Bruno has been through this sort of thing before.
In 2009, Nassau County told Bruno that funds designated for his organization would be halved. Three years later on June 4, Bruno received a similar notification, this time from County Executive Ed Mangano and Youth Bureau Director Maggie Malito.
The Town of Oyster Bay will welcome back the Hicksville Farmer's Market at Kennedy Memorial Park on Broadway and Jerusalem Avenues, on Sunday June 24, through Nov. 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"There is nothing quite like wandering around a genuine farmer's market and being surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells," Oyster Bay Town Councilwoman Rebecca M. Alesia stated. "In returning for a third year at this location, the Hicksville Farmer's Market has truly become a location where community revitalization, economic development and a showcase for locally grown farm produce, baked goods and more intersect in the heart of Hicksville."

I work at
, managing the methods development group in bioinformatics. We develop algorithms used in next-generation DNA sequencing. These include things like image processing algorithms for converting raw data into base calls, or classification algorithms for metagenomics. Some of the highlights have been helping bring the HiSeq and MiSeq instruments to market. Even more exciting than the instruments are the things you can do with them - the impact on genomics on human health is just starting to be felt.

I have MailEnable 7.09 Pro installed on a Win Web 2008 box working fine, but this server is soon to be turned off. The new box is WWeb 2008 R2 and uses Plesk. I hadn't appreciated when I agreed to have Plesk that it wants to do everything for me (e.g. will only recognise ME mailboxes it set up) and that it will be very unhappy if I do things manually!
Plesk seems to want me to create and configure all mailboxes within it, which is a complete ball ache. Not least because it means doing everything one mailbox at a time, and forcing all my users to empty out their old boxes and potentially lose mail whilst I am doing this process.
So is there any way of backing up the whole old ME server configuration, settings, mailboxes and all, and copying it over? I know I can do that without Plesk in the way, but will it work with Plesk there? (the path for the ME install is different, for a start, as Plesk wants it put within its folder branch).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
