Savvy Italian wins Tour stage
Italy's Vincenzo Nibali displayed his riding smarts at the Tour de France, winning Stage 2 on Sunday and taking the yellow jersey after a well-choreographed attack on rivals in the postindustrial English city known for "The Full Monty."
The Astana team leader nicknamed "The Shark" for his road savvy took the final lead in a cycling dance of sorts with other title hopefuls, who took turns in front in the last stretch through a sea of fans from York to Sheffield.
Nibali perhaps had more at stake: The 29-year-old rider has won the Italian Giro and Spain's Vuelta, but has never captured cycling's showcase event.
The victory on Sunday gave him both his first Tour stage win and yellow jersey, and sent a message that he could contend to take it home from Paris in three weeks.
With about a mile left, Nibali escaped a 21-man breakaway bunch at the end of the 125-mile course over nine heath-covered hills of Yorkshire, and held off their late surge. England is hosting the first three Tour stages this year.
Marcel Kittel, a powerful German sprinter who often struggles on climbs, trailed nearly 20 minutes back and lost the yellow jersey that he had captured by winning Stage 1.
While the Italian won the battle to the line, under the shadow of a black Sheffield Forgemasters tower, defending champion Chris Froome of Britain and two-time winner Alberto Contador of Spain are focusing more on the overall race - which ends July 27 on Paris' Champs-Elysees.
Overall, Nibali leads 20 other riders by two seconds, including Froome in fifth place and Contador in eighth.
A six-man breakaway bunch tried its chances early, but got swallowed up by the pack with some 20 miles left. Then, the big race stars moved to the front, splitting the pack.
Contador, Froome, and Americans Andrew Talansky and Tejay van Garderen all spent time at the front. At times, they mustered bursts of speed or zipped across with width of the road in tactical maneuvers.
"In the finale, a lot of contenders were making moves: Nibali ended up taking two seconds on us," Froome said. "It's not a big margin. For me, it was about staying out of trouble to stay at the front, and avoiding any major issues or splits.
"I'm tired, but I hope everyone's tired after a day like today."
Dave Brailsford, boss of Froome's Team Sky, said the leaders actually "were all hesitant, because nobody wanted the jersey." In the cycling playbook, the yellow shirt brings both glory and responsibility. Brailsford said: "Astana will have to now defend it, which is pretty good for anybody else.
"Perfect. They've got to work."
Nibali didn't dare claim he might keep it all the way to Paris, saying "the Tour de France doesn't stop here: We have three weeks to go, and very tough and tricky stages lie ahead."
Monday's stage should be a far less grueling ride: Riders cover 96 miles from university town Cambridge to London, where the pack will finish on the Mall not far from Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.
The course Sunday resembled that of historic one-day races known as "classics," which often feature hilly terrain.
Michael Rodgers, an Australian on Contador's Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team, called it "a bit of a special stage, like the Amstel Gold Race, but with 20 times the people."
New roads for cycling's greatest race also mean new audiences, some of whom are so enthusiastic and eager for a selfie with the pack that they might not realize the hazards of getting too close to the riders as they go by.
Untold thousands turned out just hours after one of the biggest British stars in the race, Mark Cavendish, dropped out because of pain from a separated right shoulder sustained in a crash Saturday.
"There are thousands and thousands of people. It's great but it's also dangerous," Contador said.
Race officials say millions of fans have flooded the course route in just the first two stages.
While Yorkshire doesn't have ascents on a par with the Alps or Pyrenees in France, riders faced nine low- to mid-grade climbs. The hardest was the Holme Moss pass. The steepest was also the shortest: The half-mile Jenkin Road pass had an average gradient of 10.8 percent, just 3 miles from the finish line.
Several riders crashed. Simon Gerrans, who went down with Cavendish in Saturday's stage, also spilled - as did van Garderen and Joachim Rodriguez, the third-place finisher in the 2013 Tour. All recovered to finish the stage.
On the up-and-down, picturesque course, the 197-rider peloton scaled a narrow, cobblestone hill in Haworth, where the Bronte sisters - the famed 19th-century novelists - lived when their father was parson in the town.

Naturist Oasis Camp
|HU-Federation of Naturists in Hungary
The biggest naturist camp in Central-East-Europe is located on 23 ha next to Delegyhaza (where the Hungarian naturism was born in the eighties), surrounded with several lakes. Since the camp is very close to Budapest (~25 km) it provides a good opportunity for sight-seeing and visiting the capital of Hungary. Due to its central position, daily excursions to several parts of the country are also possible.
The lakes in the naturist camp were evolved as a result of gravel excavation, with pebble-type bed, and average depth between 3-5 meter. The area has favourable natural parameters, lot of green surfaces and water surface in the lakes. The largest lake (V. lake) has an extension of appr. 45 ha, but the camp has two more smaller lakes as well. The camping has 3 naturist beaches, 3 buffets, 2 children playgrounds and sport facilities (petangue, table tennis, beach volleyball, shuttlecock, soccer, swimming, kayaking, etc). There are pitches for short term campers but the naturist camp also provides for season or long-time pitch leasing in the camping. Tent, caravan or smaller (mobile) house may be installed on the rented area. Free areas for long-time leasing are available in limited number.
The landscape is nice, the lake and good quality air can provide ideal conditions for family holidays including naked fishing. There are no industrial activity around the lakes and no chemicals can reach the lakes from agriculture.
The average size of the pitches is between 70-100 m2, "A" category pitches are located at the waterside, while "B" category means only 50-100 meters walking to the lake beach. The pitches can be used by tent, caravan, motor-home or smaller (max 30 m2) mobile home can be installed in case of long-time pitch renting. The pitches are equipped with electricity and water connections. There are still some pitches available for long-time renting. If you rent, you may a have your "own" waterside cottage !
At present we have 145 lessee families, who are also owners through their MNE membership.
This camping is naturist and open for visitors if they accept naturist lifestyle and rules. The camp is operated by Naturist Oasis Ltd. owned by Hungarian Naturists Association (MNE).
The naturist camp was established in 1983. and the level of its infrastructure is still a bit lower than a modern camping. The sanitary blocks (13 pcs) are equipped with cold/hot water washstands and douches, water-rinsed toilets. The units are cleaned more times a day, however its design is from the eighties, maybe it gives some beauty. We have ballast-roads (pebble) according to the characteristics of the lake and surroundings which makes the natural feeling. However all of this is set-off by the natural characteristic of the camp: big green surfaces, big lake surface and clean water.
The majority of our lessees (members) and also the "A" category pitches has their own waterfront with great view to the lake. From these pitches our guests can reach the water for swimming or fishing through their own entry to the lake. Our lakes are not for sport-fishing, however the lakes has a significant volume of fishes: pike, sheatfish, meagre, carp, perch, bass, grass carp, etc. Fishing is free but allowed only for our members and camping guests.
If you like nature, you are naturist and don't insist on 5 stars infrastructure, you will love this camping.

The Shoppe, a cupcake emporium on East Colfax, has closed
Sad news for Denverites with sweet tooths: The Shoppe, a cupcake emporium at East Colfax Avenue and St. Paul Street, has closed.
The Shoppe opened in January 2008 and did a bustling business, especially with students from nearby East High School who would stop by in the morning for pumpkin latte and pralines and cream cupcakes, or one of the sugary, old-school cereals (Trix, Cap'n Crunch, Froot Loops) the place offered.
I wrote about it four months after it opened. Co-owner Emma Skala had been a baker since she was a little girl. "Cupcakes are so simple, so personal and so sweet," she told me. "They're fun. Kids come here and their eyes light up."
Adults' eyes, too.

Fishing WisconsinWisconsin's state fish hatcheries
Keep the state fish hatcheries in mind when planning your vacation route. They offer great opportunities to see fish as well as view exhibits which trace the life cycles of the fish reared at those facilities. You can also learn about techniques fisheries managers use to ensure the future of Wisconsin's fishing tradition.
While all the hatcheries raise fish, not all hatcheries hatch fish eggs. Some raise fish that are transferred to them from other hatcheries. They are called "rearing stations". In either case, all state hatcheries offer chances to watch fish.
Hatchery fish need special care and diets to stay healthy. For that reason, we ask parents to please remind their children to keep food, fingers, rocks, sticks and other objects out of the water.
Fish Hatchery Study
Wisconsin has a fish propagation system admired by many, but critical investments must be made to meet future stocking needs. Learn what needs to be done to keep businesses benefitting from the $2.75 billion in economic impact, 30,000 jobs, and the $196 million in local and state tax revenues fishing provides annually in Wisconsin.

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has admitted the decision to part company with manager Michael Laudrup was "taken reluctantly" but believes it is in the best interests of the club.
The Dane has left the Swans with immediate effect on Tuesday night with veteran defender Garry Monk and first-team coach Alan Curtis to take charge of the team ahead of Saturday's clash with rivals Cardiff.
The news ends considerable speculation over Laudrup's position, which had been growing since last weekend's loss to West Ham.
The Capital One Cup-winning boss' relationship with the club had reportedly been strained since a major disagreement over transfer policy last summer.
The 49-year-old had also been under increasing pressure after a run of just one win in 10 Barclays Premier League matches left the Swans just two points above the relegation zone.
Jenkins said: "It is a decision we have taken reluctantly, but it's a decision made in the best interests of Swansea City Football Club and our supporters.
"It is the first time in nearly 10 years that the club has parted with a manager in this way, but we had to remove the constant uncertainty surrounding the club and Michael's long-term future with us.
"I had a meeting with Michael today in a final attempt to support him and establish a way to improve the work of the backroom team to secure the results we need over the final 14 Premier League games.
"However, after thinking long and hard about the best way forward, I felt it was unlikely we would achieve a stable environment at the club to allow us to get back to basics and produce the performance levels that have served Swansea City so well over the last few years.
"Now we need to put that uncertainty behind us and move forward as a united football club on all fronts, while placing on record our gratitude to Michael for the work he has done over the last 18 months and wish him well for the future."
"We had to remove the constant uncertainty surrounding the club" - Huw Jenkins
Laudrup, the former Real Madrid, Barcelona and Denmark midfielder, was appointed in the summer of 2012 having previously managed at Brondby, Getafe, Spartak Moscow and Real Mallorca.
He initially carried on the good work of Brendan Rodgers, who oversaw promotion and took the club to 11th in the Premier League before leaving for Liverpool.
Last season's Capital One Cup success - Swansea's first major trophy - enhanced Laudrup's reputation considerably and he was rewarded with a lucrative new contract until 2015.
However, problems surfaced last summer when it is thought Laudrup and Jenkins fell out over transfer targets. The difficulties led to the club's refusal to deal with Laudrup's representative Bayram Tutumlu in transfer deals.
Press Association Sport understands tensions have also remained throughout the current season and there has also been disquiet about the intensity of training sessions.
Prior to Laudrup's exit, it had been understood that Monk, who has not played since September after undergoing knee surgery, was being lined up for a coaching role.
The long-serving Monk, 35 next month, joined the Swans when they were in League Two in 2004 and he and Curtis have now been put in charge for the "foreseeable future".

Dr. Voss's primary research interests are the evolution of marsupials and the systematics and biogeography of other Neotropical mammals that inhabit moist-forest habitats in Amazonia and the Andes. He is actively involved in long-term revisionary studies on several groups that have radiated extensively in lowland and montane rainforests, including didelphid marsupials, caviomorph rodents (erethizontids and dasyproctids), and murid rodents. For several of these groups, he is also collaborating with molecular researchers on phylogenetic studies designed to provide a stable basis for higher-level classifications, historical biogeography, and comparative analyses of ecobehavioral adaptations. The collection and analysis of faunal inventory data, especially from long-term projects in tropical rainforest habitats, is another research focus

Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 30 min
- Yield
- Makes 4 main-course servings
- 1/4 cup potato starch or cornstarch mixed with 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 lb pork spareribs, cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces by butcher
- 6 cups plus 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, coarsely ground in a spice grinder
- 1/2 tablespoon Chinese chile bean sauce or paste
- 3 dried Facing Heaven chiles (1-inch bell-shaped hot red chiles) or 3 (2-inch-long) dried hot red chiles
- 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine (preferably Shaoxing) or medium-dry Sherry
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil*
- 1 teaspoon chile oil containing sesame oil (such as Chiu Chow Chili Oil from Lee Kum Kee)
- Special Equipment
- a deep-fat thermometer
- Whisk together potato starch mixture and salt in a large bowl, then add ribs and toss to coat. Heat 6 cups peanut oil in a wok or 5-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat until it registers 280°F on thermometer. Transfer ribs to wok with a slotted spoon and fry until just beginning to color but not yet pale golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
- Heat same oil to 380°F and fry ribs again, until dark brown and crisp, about 5 minutes more, then transfer to clean paper towels to drain. Transfer hot oil to a large saucepan to cool before discarding.
- Add remaining 2 tablespoons peanut oil, red pepper flakes, and chile bean sauce to cold, cleaned wok, then stir-fry over high heat until fragrant, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Add ribs, whole chiles, wine, sesame seeds, and sugar, and continue stir-frying until chiles are fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer ribs to a bowl and toss with sesame and chile oils.
- *We prefer Eden brand sesame oil (available at natural foods stores), which is nutty and well balanced, as well as China Bowl, a supermarket brand, which is a little milder.

These were incredible!
I told you I would be back with regular posts this weekend and I am back with an incredible recipe! Things here are back to normal at home. I am working too much and we are deep in the midst of a hot DC summer. The heat does not stop me from baking, but it did lead me to baking something nice and easy. Quite some time ago snickerdoodle blondies were floating around all over the blogs and I bookmarked the recipe from Crepes of Wrath to make later. I am so glad I made them because they were absolutely phenomenal! Zack took them to a party and they were quite the hit. If you are looking for something easy and delicious they are perfect!
Snickerdoodle Blondies
recipe from Crepes of Wrath
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
a pinch nutmeg
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and/or line a 9×13 inch pan. Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and set aside.
In large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, and beat until smooth.
Stir in the flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan (mixture will be somewhat cookiebatter-ish, so it's best to spread it out with a greased spatula or your hands). Combine the granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.
Bake 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool before cutting. Makes 20-24 bars.

Many college football fans will awake New Year's Day, glance at the TV listings, and then face a pressing question.
If it's, ``Where did I put the aspirin?'' good luck.
But if it's ``How did Northern Illinois sneak into the Orange Bowl?'' you've come to the right place.
The story of how the Huskies wound playing Florida State in a big-money BCS bowl stretches back more than four decades. But the short version covers just a few days. It began with a 44-37 double-overtime win against Kent State in the Mid-American Conference championship game in Detroit on Nov. 30, and got crazier from there.
The next morning, NIU athletic director Jeff Compher set out on Interstate 94 toward the campus at DeKalb, Ill., with only one thing on his to-do list: Take out his wife Cathy for a 22nd wedding anniversary dinner in Chicago that night.
``That was the first casualty,'' Compher chuckled during a phone interview from Florida, where the Huskies were wrapping up preparations for Tuesday's game. ``It's been rescheduled for February.''
When he set off from Detroit with son C.J. in tow, Compher knew his life was about to get complicated. What he couldn't have known until his cellphone began ringing non-stop was how complicated, and how fast. In the first of a string of good decisions, he turned the wheel over to C.J.
``I knew we'd be going to a bowl, but there were so many combinations in play, I wasn't going to try and figure out which one. In the back of my mind, I thought we might have to find a new coach, because that's how things happen in the MAC. If you've got a good one, and believe me, Dave Doeren is one helluva coach, the big schools come calling quick.''
Quick in this case turned out to be an understatement. One of the first things Compher learned during that Saturday morning drive was that Debbie Yow, his counterpart at North Carolina State, had already beat him back to campus, determined to be the first to interview Doeren. A few hours later, it was a done deal. All Compher asked for was a delay of a few hours so he could be in the room when Doeren told the team. When that meeting ended, he began another one, asking the players what they wanted in a coach, not who.
That's because Compher began working up a just-in-case scenario months earlier, settling on Rod Carey, NIU's offensive coordinator. But he wasn't going to make the call without the players buying in.
``The question in our business, at our level, is how does a good team become a great program? And I've always believed the answer is continuity. We were already a good team. This will be our fifth consecutive bowl appearance. We're one of only two teams (along with Oregon) to win at least 11 games the last two seasons,'' Compher said. ``In this case, the last thing you want to do is rush into a big decision.''
Already exhausted, Compher decided to sleep on it. When he went to bed, NIU was solidly inside the Top 20 and likely to move up with the win over Kent State. Plus, Texas was losing and Wisconsin was en route to an upset over Nebraska. Compher knew a slot in the Orange Bowl was a possibility, but still a dizzying one.
``I dozed off thinking, `I've got to hire a coach tomorrow,'' Compher recalled. ``That's all I knew for sure.''
By the time he awoke Sunday morning, both Texas and Nebraska were out of the picture. Between negotiations on a new contract for Carey, he began checking bowl projections. Word that NIU was going to the Orange finally came in a call from the MAC office in mid-afternoon, with a warning to keep it quiet until the official announcement Sunday evening. That's when Compher decided to add a flourish of his own. He sent an athletic department assistant down to the grocery with instructions to buy 100 oranges and not leak a word about why to anyone.
Just minutes before the bowl selection show began on ESPN, Compher introduced Carey as NIU's new coach. A roar went up, followed by a second a few minutes later as the team learned what Compher already knew: that the Huskies would be the first MAC team accorded a chance to bang shoulders with the big boys in a BCS bowl. A few minutes after that, as ESPN's commentators roundly panned the BCS' decision to include NIU, those oranges Compher sent out for came in handy, just not the way he'd expected. Players hurled them at the TV set.
``Of all the things running through my head, I guess hadn't figured on that,'' Compher said, ``but I understand it. Here, people know the MAC and how good it can be. But the further you get away from Midwest, the less knowledge there's bound to be and the less respect some people have.
``So, yeah, I'm sure there will be some head-scratching when we pop up in the Orange Bowl, some `Who are they?' ... But we've played in some big games before,'' he added, ``and we know we're responsible for representing the MAC. We won't let people down.''
And no matter the final score, there's already a silver lining. As news of Compher's action-packed few days made the rounds, someone at Hilton Hotels heard about it, saw the original cancellation and invited the Comphers to pick a weekend in Chicago as their guests.
``I already owed my wife big-time,'' Compher said, ``so how great is that?''

Box Tops deal update
Now, I know that you, my loyal readers, sometimes read a post such as this one where I mention a Meijer Box tops for Education deal and wonder to yourselves, "Now I wonder what ever happened to all those box tops coupons that Dan got?"
In fact, I can visualize you crying yourselves to sleep in pain from not knowing.
But fear not! I have been waiting to give you an update until my final box tops sold, which they just did yesterday. After a disastrous first auction, where 210 box tops only sold for $17.50, I had more success with buy it nows. The final box tops sold yesterday, and the 1260 box tops sold for a gross price of $166.44, an average of 13.21 cents per box top. After ebay and paypal fees, the net profit was $138.08, or 10.96 cents per box top.
In an odd twist of coincidence, the total cost of all the food was $87.08 (the coincidence that they were both some dollars and 8 cents).
So, the final report is 24 bisquik 40 oz, 20 brownie mixes, 44 chex mix, 38 frosting, 20 muffin mix, 4 boxes of potatoes, 13 helper, 1 honey nut cheerio snack mix and a net profit of $51.
Sleep well, faithful readers!!!!

Liberty News
Liberty sponsors Clean Commute Challenge
|Lee Beaumont (center), vice president of Auxiliary Services, represents Liberty in a bike ride from the Boonsboro area to Lynchburg City Hall Tuesday.
Liberty University is partnering with other local sponsors for the Clean Commute Challenge, a new web-based log designed to encourage residents to bike to work, or to carpool, take transit, or walk one or more days during the month of May.
A bike ride was held Tuesday night to promote the challenge. Participants rode from the Boonsboro area of Lynchburg to City Hall to present a proclamation to Mayor Michael Gillette deeming May as Lynchburg Area Bike Month and announcing the Clean Commute Challenge, which is part of the Live Healthy Lynchburg initiative.
The effort was led by RIDE Solutions and the Lynchburg Area Greenway Alliance.
Lee Beaumont, Liberty University's vice president of Auxiliary Services, said he participated in the ride to take a proactive stance in pushing forward the city's improvement of transportation options.
"It's our desire to reach out to the community and be a good neighbor, to support community initiatives and to show that we're being that responsible corporate citizen," said Beaumont, who serves on the Greater Lynchburg Transit Company board and is Liberty's liaison to Live Healthy Lynchburg.
Besides cycling, he said the Clean Community Challenge encourages other environmentally friendly means of transit, which the university supports and currently implements, such as carpooling, Zipcar, and off-campus commuter bus routes to apartment complexes and around town.
|Lynchburg Mayor Michael Gillette reads a proclamation deeming May as Lynchburg Area Bike Month and announcing the Clean Commute Challenge.
Gillette addressed a gathering of about 30 cyclists and runners, as well as a handful of City Council members, on the steps of City Hall before the reading of the proclamation.
"It's great to see so many people utilizing alternative transportation this evening," he said. "In addition to living healthy and being healthy and the benefits that you receive personally, it's also very important for every one of our communities across the United States to understand the role of alternative transportation, so that we have sustainable cities, so that we have safe cities for our cyclists and our pedestrians."
The proclamation, stated, in part: "Whereas the city of Lynchburg is committed to enhancing the quality of life for all of its residents by creating safe, walkable, and bikeable access to community destinations; and whereas walking, biking, transit, and carpool are clean, economical, and energy-efficient transportation options available to persons living and working in Lynchburg ... I do hereby proclaim May, 2013, Bike and Clean Commute Challenge Month in the city of Lynchburg, and encourage residents, visitors, and employees to participate … by accessing work, school, or other destinations by walking, biking, taking transit, or carpooling at least once during the month of May."
Beaumont said he would like to see the development of more bicycle-friendly roads and trails around Lynchburg to make commuting by bike a safer alternative.
"Part of this Clean Community Challenge is the biking community showing the need for wider shoulders, more bike lanes, more safety signs, education … because, really, it is scary to ride on Lynchburg roads as there are no lanes and drivers are not very friendly at times," Beaumont said. "I know people who have been hit and a bike does not fare well against a car. There have been some 'Share the Road' signs posted, so they are making some headway."

As a grassroots organization, A Perfect Cause is dedicated to long-term care reform. While we are initially focusing our resources on the nation's nursing home crisis, we are committed to providing information and resources for the continuum of long-term care - from successful aging, to aging in the home, to assisted living, to hospice care, as well as nursing home care.
At a recent long-term care insurance workshop, we learned you have a 1 in 3 chance to be a nursing home resident. Combined with nursing home death rate of 12% for the five leading causes of preventable death, you have a 1 in 36 chance of becoming a nursing home victim.
With a national crisis claiming nursing home resident every 15 minutes, we must have a goal and a plan.
We do! We have a powerful mission statement, ambitious objectives, and have developed a model that will help us fulfill our mission.
If you need help, please call or send us an email. If you can help us, we can use it.
As a grassroots organization, we can use any contributions. Funds, in-kind products, services, time, and prayers. All are needed to help us achieve our objectives.
While it may be a fact that we have a crisis, the truth is we can do something about it. As Dr. Ernest Holmes wrote, "A Perfect Cause must produce a perfect effect."
And so it is!

I think we can all breath a sigh of releaf a good director is the first sign of a great film. And ofcourse Jim's in it
"You Cant Stop Me No Matter Who You Are"
Lucky you? He´s an seems to be I nice person. I have seen many interviews with Ewan. He seems to be a very sympathic and funny guy. If this forum were a Ewan McGregor forum I would have asked a lot of questions about Ewan. But i don´t want to bore everybody in this forum.
i got a question about Obi-wan......and no disrespect to him or his fans at all (b/c i'm one too )........what us that bump on his forehead?.......is it a zit that just keeps coming back?......everytime i see it i just want put my hand through the TV and just pop it for him.

I´ve heard rumours that Tim Burton will do another movie with Johnny Depp. I hope he will make "Believe it or not" first.
i'm sure he will....from the sounds of things they are already in pre-production.
I am part of an elite group of people......THE MEN OF JCO.
(Standing member since July 18th, 2005)
I hope so. I have wished for a long time that Tim Burton and Jim will make a movie together. But I want to see that one with Johnny Depp too. He´s also a amazing actor and I like when he works with Tim Burton.
honestly these days......it is pretty much a certainty that whatever Tim Burton puts out will have Johnny Depp, Burton's wife or both......which isn't a bad thing really.
I am part of an elite group of people......THE MEN OF JCO.
(Standing member since July 18th, 2005)
Yeah, there can not be a failure.
I can see it now. Tim saying, "Morning Jim...how you feeling today? Manic or depressive?"
"Manic I think. And you?"
"Me too! It totally makes a difference in which scenes we'll shoot today."
"When in doubt, tell the truth."

About Mercedes Benz 300SE
The Mercedes Benz 300SE was the flagship vehicle for Mercedes Benz in the 1960's and enjoyed many of the same features as its ""fin-tailed"" predecessor, along with several key improvements that made it such a hugely popular symbol for Mercedes Benz. Available as a coupe, cabriolet, and sedan, the 300SE proved itself to be a vehicle that offered the consumer a diverse amount of choices contributing to its overall popularity. In addition to the choice of style, the 300SE was fitted with a powerful six-cylinder engine and power steering, two things that evaded the previous model. All in all the 300SE remains a desirable classic car that, when maintained properly, can still be seen on the road today.

We offer a bespoke service to work with you to create your special piece of jewellery incorporating the colours and style you desire. If you know what you want but cannot find it anywhere let's have a chat, call 07802 507954. I have a lot of different stones and pearls to the ones already featured in my jewellery.
Custom made designs make take longer to produce as I may need to source the materials if I do not already have them in stock. Once I have designed your piece I can email you a photograph to enable you to make any changes before the final completion.
If you see a piece you like and we no longer have the earrings or bracelet to complete the look I may be able to create a new design.
A custom made piece would also make a unique gift for the special person in your life.

Revision as of 03:18, 25 April 2013
This article aims on providing information on flashing your system BIOS under Linux. Most manufacturers provide a Windows executable or a BIOS executable that can only be run under Windows. However, there are a few utilities, that allow you to upgrade your system BIOS under Linux.
- 1 Introduction
- 2 BiosDisk
- 3 Flashrom
- 4 FreeDOS
There are a few ways that you can use to flash the system BIOS under Linux.
BiosDisk BiosDisk simplifies the process of flashing your system BIOS under Linux
Method 1: AUR (Recommended)
BiosDisk is available from the Arch User Community Repositories.
Method 2: From Source
Grab the source from the biosdisk web page. Extract the source from the tar ball, cd into the directory and run
sudo sh install.sh
To use the biosdisk utility to create a BIOS flash image, first download the latest raw BIOS image for your system from your manufacturer's website. Make sure however, that you always get the BIOS executable and NOT the Windows executable. You then have one of several options: create a floppy, create a dd floppy image, create a user-installable distribution-specific package (e.g. RPM), or actually install the image for your bootloader.
- The mkfloppy action will create the biosdisk image and write it directly to a floppy disk. Usage is the following:
biosdisk mkfloppy [-o option] [-d device] [-k baseimage] /path/to/.exe
- The mkimage action will create a floppy image on the user's hard drive. Usage is the following:
biosdisk mkimage [-o option] [-i destination] [-k baseimage] /path/to/.exe
- The mkpkg action will create the floppy image, and use it to create a user-installable package specific to the distribution (example: RPM). When the package is installed, it will use the distribution's built-in tools to update the system's bootloader so that the user can boot to the image from the hard drive to flash the BIOS, without needing a floppy drive. Currently only Red Hat/Fedora RPM packages are supported. Usage is as follows:
biosdisk mkpkg [-o option] [--install] [--distro=] [--name=] [--version=] [--release=] /path/to/{.exe | .img}
- The install action will create the biosdisk image, copy the image file to /boot, and then update the bootloader with an entry for the image. Then all the user has to do is boot the system and select the image to flash the BIOS; this will load the biosdisk image directly from the hard drive and flash the BIOS.
biosdisk install [-o option] [--name=] /path/to/{.exe | .img}
Flashromis a utility for identifying, reading, writing, verifying and erasing flash chips. It is designed to flash BIOS/EFI/coreboot/firmware/optionROM images on mainboards, network/graphics/storage controller cards, and various programmer devices.
Method 1: Community Repo (Recommended)
sudo pacman -S flashrom
Method 2: AUR
Flashrom-svn is also available from the Arch User Community Repositories.
Find out if your motherboard and chipset is supported by flashrom at this website. Supported Hardware You can also find out if your hardware is supported by issuing the following command
sudo flashrom
The above command will tell you your motherboard and chipset. You can then find out if your's is supported by issuing this command
flashrom -L | grep whatevernameyougotfromthefirstcommand
Read the BIOS image into a file:
$ flashrom -r backup.bin
Write a BIOS image (proprietary or LinuxBIOS) on the ROM chip:
$ flashrom -w newbios.bin $ flashrom -v newbios.bin
FreeDOS a free DOS-compatible operating system, is up to the challenge, no need for proprietary DOS versions. So, all you need is a bootable floppy disk image with FreeDOS kernel on it.
By far the easiest way to make a bootable FreeDOS USB Stick is using unetbootin, available in the Official Repositories.
You should format a pendrive with FAT16 and flag it as "boot" (you may do this through a GUI with gparted, qtpartedAUR or partitionmanagerAUR). Then, after mounting the flash drive, select under distribution FreeDOS and your mounted stick. The app will automatically download the image for you and copy it to the drive. Finally, you may copy everything you want to flash there (BIOS, firmwares, etc).
If you want to do it the hard way, keep reading. ;)
Check out FreeDOS Flash Drive on the Gentoo Wiki if you want to create a bootable FreeDOS Flash drive.
Images that are too large for a floppy
If your flash image is too large for a floppy, go to the FreeDos bootdisk website, and download the 10Mb hard-disk image. This image is a full disk image, including partitions, so adding your flash utility will be a little trickier:
# modprobe loop # losetup /dev/loop0 <image-file> # fdisk -lu /dev/loop0
You can do some simply maths now: block size (usually 512) times the start of the first partition. At time of writing, the first partition starts at block 63. This means that the partitions starts at offset 512 * 63 = 32256:
# mount -o offset=32256 /dev/loop0 /mnt
Now you can copy your flash utility onto the filesystem as normal. Once you're done:
# umount /mnt # losetup -d /dev/loop0
The image can now be copied to a USB stick for booting, or booted as a memdisk as per normal instructions.
Step 1: Download FreeDOS boot disk floppy image We are fortunate that guys at FDOS site have prepared one suitable for us. Use the OEM Bootdisk version, the one with just kernel and command.com, because it leaves more free space on disk for the flash utility and new BIOS image. After you download the image, you need to decompress it. In other words:
wget http://www.fdos.org/bootdisks/autogen/FDOEM.144.gz gunzip FDOEM.144.gz
Step 2: Copy your BIOS flash utility and new BIOS image to the mounted floppy disk image
Requirement for this step is that you have support for the vfat and loop file systems in the kernel. Or you can have those features compiled as modules. In the latter case, load the modules before the next step, like this.
modprobe vfat modprobe loop
/proc/fileystems to see if you have the needed file systems supported. If you do, you should be able to "loop mount" the floppy disk image to some temporary path:
mkdir /tmp/floppy mount -t vfat -o loop FDOEM.144 /tmp/floppy
If the mount went without errors, copy BIOS flash utility and new BIOS image to the mounted floppy disk image. You'll probably have to unzip the archive you downloaded from your motherboard vendor site, to get to those two files. Here's just an example for my motherboard (in your case, files will have different names, of course):
# unzip 775Dual-VSTA\(2.60\).zip Archive: 775Dual-VSTA(2.60).zip inflating: 75DVSTA2.60 inflating: ASRflash.exe # cp 75DVSTA2.60 ASRflash.exe /tmp/floppy
Doublecheck that everything went OK, that those two files weren't too big for the floppy:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /tmp/FDOEM.144 1424 990 434 70% /tmp/floppy
Finally, unmount the floppy disk image:
umount /tmp/floppy
Step 3: Burn a bootable CD which will emulate floppy device for us
Next step is to burn the floppy image to a CD/DVD-RW media, but in a way that it can be booted afterwards. First we need to make a bootable CD image, and then burn it. Notice that on some modern distributions, cdrecord is renamed to wodim, and mkisofs to genisoimage, but the parameters below should be the same.
mkisofs -o bootcd.iso -b FDOEM.144 FDOEM.144 cdrecord -v bootcd.iso
Alternative Step 3: Add your image to Grub's menu.
You will need to install syslinux and copy memdisk to
/boot, and put your image there as well.
cp /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk /boot cp FDOEM.144 /boot/flashbios.img
Now add an entry to your
title Flash BIOS kernel /memdisk initrd /flashbios.img
Or for GRUB2 in
menuentry "Flash BIOS" { linux16 /boot/memdisk initrd16 /boot/flashbios.img }
Step 4: Reboot, flash, reboot, enjoy your new BIOS
Finally reboot your machine, make sure that your CD drive is first in the boot sequence, and then run your BIOS upgrade procedure when the CD boots. If using the GRUB method, just choose the new entry on the list, and it should boot into FreeDOS.

Aviva Premiership
Vesty leading the way
September 6, 2010
Sam Vesty bagged a 16 point fantasy haul on Sunday © Getty Images
The first round of the Aviva Premiership season is in the can, leaving you to pore over your opening haul of points in ESPNscrum's Premiership Fantasy game.
London Irish top the pile after defeating a much-fancied Saracens outfit at Twickenham, and they are joined on the winners' podium by Bath, Northampton, Sale and new boys Exeter. Gazing longingly from below are Wasps and Harlequins, who played out a 29-29 draw in the second game of Saturday's London Double Header.
Northampton's win over Leicester on Saturday was a major boost for the Saints first-up and also contributed a couple of the weekend's star performers from a fantasy perspective. Northampton loose-head Soane Tonga'uiha bagged a brace of tries in a personal haul of 12 points, a feat matched by Leicester wing Scott Hamilton. We'll all agree that props scoring doubles is more fun than wingers, though.
There was no kicking performance of note at Franklin's Gardens as both Stephen Myler and Toby Flood struggled, but there was no such difficulty at Headingley for new Bath recruit Sam Vesty. The former Leicester fly-half bagged 16 fantasy points thanks to his try, five kicks and assist. Harlequins' Nick Evans, Exeter's Gareth Steenson and Wasps fullback Mark van Gisbergen also enjoyed productive afternoons with the boot.
Steenson proved to be the difference at Sandy Park as Exeter picked up a 22-10 victory over Gloucester, with his opposite number Nick Robinson missing a clutch of chances. Gloucester wing James Simpson-Daniel nevertheless brought home the fantasy bacon, his try and assist securing 11 points.
The back-row scoring was led by Newcastle's Brent Wilson, who scored two tries in his side's opening day defeat to Sale at Edgeley Park. His 13 points narrowly eclipsed the efforts of Saracens' Ernst Joubert, who chimed in with a try and assist, Harlequins' Nick Easter and Bath skipper Luke Watson, who also notched a try from No.8.
Remember that you can make up to 40 changes throughout the season - which might be an idea if you've put all your eggs in the injured Toby Flood's basket - and can still register your team and join in all of the action.

Councilman discusses $32K he owes High Point
High Point City Councilman Foster Douglas on Monday said he will pay a $32,216.35 federal court judgment he owes the city.
After the council's meeting, Douglas said he plans to confer with fellow council members "as soon as we can get together" to resolve the debt, which stems from the dismissal of a 2002 lawsuit filed by Douglas and his brother, Jerry Douglas, against the city.
"We will hash out how that is done," he said to TV news cameras and print reporters gathered around him after the meeting. "I will call them or email them and we'll sit down."
The brothers accused the city of civil rights violations in its efforts to police a nightclub they owned on E. Kivett Drive during the 1990s. A federal judge in 2003 ruled that the Douglases had no evidence to support their claims and ordered them to pay for the city's cost of defending itself against the allegations.
In the nearly 10 years since the dismissal was granted, the amount owed has grown to $32,216.35 with interest.
The city has tried twice to collect the judgment, but not since Douglas was elected to the Ward 2 council seat in 2008. Council members recently expressed support for a third round of collection efforts, which legal staff was set to begin this week.
Douglas was hardly apologetic about the issue Monday.
He said that since 2006, the city has spent $207,335.65 for health insurance for council members who elect to have coverage through the city. He argued that he has "saved the city" more than $56,000 by buying his own health insurance since he's been on council. Douglas said he was not going to ask that his debt be covered by this.
"My colleagues will decide how we work this out," he said.
He had plenty to say about City Manager Strib Boynton, whom he frequently criticizes. During the meeting, he accused Boynton of allowing the council's travel budget to be spent in improper ways.
Boynton responded that council — not him — governs its own use of travel funds and that he has no say over how individual members decide how to spend them.
"The hard reality is that he still owes ($32,216.35) from a 2003 judgment. That's the issue. One can cast aspersions and point fingers everywhere else, but the hard reality is, there's still a federal judgment Mr. Douglas owes the city and we'll continue with our efforts to secure it," Boynton said after the meeting. "A lot of times people, when they have their back against the wall, start casting aspersions on everybody else and if that's what Mr. Douglas prefers to do, that's his prerogative to do that. But meanwhile, he still has not addressed the (judgment) he owes the city and we will continue our efforts to secure it."
Douglas bristled at what he described as Boynton "telling me how I can (pay the judgment) and him recommending to me how he thinks I should do it — he works for City Council. We don't work for the manager."
Douglas went on to add, "Everyone wants to know why haven't I paid it? Because of things of this nature. I don't feel like the manager is someone I can deal with."
