I am plagued by a certain mental malaise every time I return from a trip to Israel.
I feel run-down, depleted, out of sorts.
It's not the usual back-from-vacation-I-wish-I-wasn't-at-work sluggishness. It's different. It's deeper and harder to shake off.
Israel leaves an aftertaste that is a combination of fatigue, nostalgia, emptiness and expectation.
The frenzied pace of life - the fast-talking shopkeepers, the reckless drivers, the crush of people everywhere you go, the whisp of danger always swirling in the air - drains you of all reserves of energy so that it takes at least a week to recover; longer if you had a return flight at 4 a.m. with a 7-hour layover in Switzerland.
Almost as soon as I arrive at Ben Gurion airport and make my way through the long security line, I begin recalling all the things I love about Israel: the Mediterranean climate, the sweet and spicy meals, the roughly handsome men, late nights at Aroma - Israel's improved-upon version of Starbucks, and most of all, the fullness of being surrounded by loved ones.
The intense attention and warm affection of family members who see their relatives from America once every year or two at best was coupled on this trip with the eager observation and enthusiastic embrace of my soon-to-be extended family, who will be making up 400 out of the 500 invited guests at our September wedding. A steady stream of beaming faces paraded through our ten-day trip, filling every minute of every day with banter, questions, drinking, singing, eating and laughing. After that, who wouldn't feel empty sitting alone in their car for 45 minutes on the 101? Or getting only a handful of phone calls throughout the day? Or waking up on a Saturday morning with no one waiting for you at the kitchen table?
I always return from Israel with a sense of expectation. As if I'm waiting for something. Waiting for the next trip to Israel, that's for certain. But also, a larger sense of waiting. Waiting to return to Israel for good. Every visit to Israel tightens the strings that connect me to my birthplace, pulling me closer to the day that I become a toshevet choseret - a "returning resident."
Returning to Los Angeles, I feel like I left home and came home at the same time.
It's no wonder I feel out of sorts.

One of the first things I do when arrive at KFBK each morning is check my email. Because of my hours, it's the main form of communication with my bosses, our sales people, listeners who liked something we did - or felt a need to scold me in cyberspace for something they heard.
It's also a repository for a lot of junk. Wacky story ideas from desperate publicists, rantings from outraged citizens, even the occasional invitation to help share the jackpot in the Nigerian lottery, if I could just tide the winner over with a 10,000 dollar check, until he or she gets the big money. I couldn't decide if I wanted to verbally harass a couple of city council members who voted no on a new arena plan, apparently because the old folks in their district might not follow the Kings or go to as many tractor pulls and WWF Smack-downs as you might think. Never mind that unlike the current system at Sleep Train Arena, the city would get a big piece of the gate, parking concessions, and the predicted array of restaurants, bars, clubs, and shopping that would boost the city's tax base and really make Sacramento - downtown Sacramento – fun. That's probably the word that did in the votes of Kevin Mc Carty and Rob Fong - two guys who feel great about banning plastic bags and taxing soda pop but aren't quite as visionary when it comes to commerce in the city that employs them. But enough politics…
But every once in a while somebody sends me something that I just have to pass on…. This time I'm not just going to email it to a few friends. I want to share it with you as well.
It comes from my friend Tom a well known Sacramentan who probably would prefer I didn't use his last name. It's the results of a survey of a bunch of kids who ranged in age from 4 to 8. They were asked the question, "what does love mean?" From 5-year-old Elaine:
Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.
7-year-old Danny was on the same wave length:
"Love is when Mommy makes coffee for my Daddy and takes a sip to make sure the taste is ok."
From Bobby, also 7 "Love is what's in the room on Christmas after you open all the presents."
8-year-old Rebecca sees it this way…
"When my Granny got arthritis she couldn't bend over to paint her toe nails. So my grandpa does it for her even though he has arthritis. That's love."
5-year-old Karl may be onto something. He says love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.
7-year-old Noelle says love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt and then he wears it every day…
Karen is also 7 and says you can tell someone's in love if their eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of their mouth
4-year-old Billy says it's easy to learn if somebody loves you: "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
And here's the best from the mouth of babes: it comes from 6-year-old Nikka who says "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate."
Smart girl.

In December, T-Mobile announced that this year it would stop subsidizing the cost of cellular phones and require users to pay the full retail price. Currently, T-Mobile offers consumers prepaid and postpaid plans with subsidized and non-subsidized phones, as well as corporate plans. Its "Classic" voice and data plans include subsidized handsets for postpaid customers.
Its current postpaid "Value" voice and data plans are for users who either buy a handset for the full retail price from T-Mobile or bring their own unlocked handsets. These plans are less expensive than the Classic plans. In addition, T-Mobile offers a variety of no-contract prepaid plans.
This year, T-Mobile will eliminate traditional subsidized phone plans and users will have to pay full price for handsets. The payment options will be similar to today's Value plans, including paying with a T-Mobile installment plan. The cost of the phone is added to the monthly airtime rates. For example, a subscriber who wants a $500 phone might have to pay $100 immediately, and then $20 per month for 20 months for a two-year contract. For the remaining four months, there's no hardware charge, and for the entire 24 months of the contract the cost of the voice and data should be significantly less than the discontinued plans with subsidized handsets.
All the top US cellular operators offer prepaid plans with handsets costing the full retail price. However, the hardware selections typically are much less extensive than postpaid plans, with few high-end smartphones. These types of plans typically are considered lower-end services for users who don't have the income or credit score to use postpaid contracts.
However, for years some savvy US consumers, especially techies, have been buying their own unlocked phones at the full retail price because they understand the advantages. For example, without a contract, it's easy to switch among GSM cellular operators without paying the dreaded early termination fee, which can be more than $300. Also, there's no problem using a local SIM card in an unlocked phone when traveling to another country, which is often much less expensive than using a US-based rate plan.
In addition, customers who buy the Nexus unlocked phones from Google know they are guaranteed the latest version of the Android operating system and will receive OS updates quickly from Google.
Large enterprises with hardware and airtime contracts from cellular operators might not think T-Mobile's new handset strategy won't affect them. But it could. For example, enterprises will need to look closely at whether the new T-Mobile plans will be significantly less expensive, especially for data. If so, enterprises might consider moving to T-Mobile or at least using T-Mobile's prices as leverage to try to obtain lower corporate deals from other cellular operators.
Also, enterprises should examine the value proposition of purchasing phones outright versus on contract. T-Mobile might not be the only company to offer installment plans. Handset vendors and electronics retailers might be sparked to offer better and more varied purchasing options to business customers. This could lead to a greater variety of smartphones in the US from less well known vendors, such as Acer, Asus, Huawei, Lenovo, and ZTE, which might offer special purchasing options for enterprises.
If more employees begin purchasing unlocked phones, enterprises could see an increase in the number of different models being used. And don't forget that a SIM card from a unlocked GSM phone could work in most cellular "MiFi"-type modems as well as tablets with compatible GSM modems. The upshot is that IT departments might find themselves confronting more employees clamoring for support for more unfamiliar devices with hardware and software quirks that could present difficulties for implementing enterprise applications and IT policies.
If T-Mobile's strategy becomes popular and other cellular operators offer more unsubsidized phones with less expensive airtime, IT departments will have additional options but also more difficulties.
— Alan Reiter, President, Wireless Internet & Mobile Computing
Alan –
Leasing a phone can't be likened to buying a subsidized phone in a number of important strategic and practical ways. The former is typically an open-ended pricing arrangement with increases fixed by regulation and providing no benefit in exchange for the lease. All the benefit goes to the lessor, which has historically has been considered an annual windfall - both from an income and accounting perspective.
Subsidized phones on the other hand are offered in exchange for a contract, obligating the buyer to the operator for a fixed time period with a guaranteed stream of income.. Operators use upgrades as a platform to sell additional services and accessories, as a way to reduce churn, and offers subscribers access to the latest technology at reduced cost.
Ariella – Because QLT doesn't report financials since it's part of Alcatel-Lucent, the number of leases isn't exact. However, the latest estimate (2011) was 300,000.
Hi slfisher (Sharon),
Your young man is right. In fact, T-Mobile already has more than 1 million iPhones on its network, even though it doesn't sell iPhones, and the iPhones on the system can use only EDGE. T-Mobile has been actively promoting using iPhones on its network and selling SIM cards that work with them.
Also, T-Mobile is training its retail sales people to set up iPhones for customers. And, it has developed applications specifically for the iPhone. Take a look at this announcement just a few days ago.
In addition, T-Mobile is refarming its spectrum so that HSPA+ and LTE will work on iPhones and other phones that use the AT&T network.
T-Mobile has said its botton line has been hurt by not having iPhones, and that will end some time this year. T-Mobile plans to offer innovative and attractive hardware pricing/installment plans and airtime plans for iOS users (iPhone and iPad).
My young man points out that there's a lot of iPhones coming off contract, and even if the owners upgrade to a new one, there's still going to be a lot of old iPhones out there, and perhaps T-Mobile is going for that market -- such as, for example, trying to get all the kids of the leading edge iPhone users.
Hi DrT,
Customer churn is a major problem for all carriers. The cost of keeping an existing customer is far less than trying to capture a new customer. T-Mobile's "friendlier" policies by being the "uncarrier" could help retain customers who feel T-Mobile cares more about them than other cellular operators.
T-Mobile has had good customer service for years, but in the past year or two it has suffered. T-Mobile says it aims to dramatically improve customer service, and I believe them.
One of the big problems for T-Mobile has been their coverage, which is less than Verizon's and AT&T's. However, T-Mobile plans to buy MetroPCS, pending government approval, and that could improve their coverage.
Hi Mr. Roques (Jorge),
We'll have to see exactly what T-Mobile will offer, perhaps in three months or so when its unsubsidized policy is likely to take effect. T-Mobile will, I assume, continue to offer postpaid contracts, and it will be interesting to see whether those contracts offer substantially lower prices with unsubsidized phones.
T-Mobile also prepaid services, including some good deals. One prepaid deal is $30 a month for unlimited data (throttled after 5GB in a month), unlimited SMS and 100 minutes of voice.
But the real reason to have a contract is because they need a guarantee that they will recover the costs of giving you a service (provisioning) but also any money they subsidized. If they won't subsidize, they should have shorter contracts.

TAB: Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott Have "Sham" Marriage, Divorce Imminent
March 13th, 2013
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are "living a lie," blares a new cover story from Star, which has unwisely decided decided to double down on its previous story about the couple's supposed "$300 million divorce."
After claiming Spelling and McDermott had separated at least four different times since 2010, and being completely BLASTED by the actress just last week for "emotionally scarring" their kids with the FALSE breakup tale, the mag continues to dig itself into an even deeper hole.
So, what's the rag claiming this time?

Still at it but homeward stretch (Day 7) – Pyxis
We were hoping that this blog would be when we were safely tucked up in Wicklow Harbour however as I start to write the GPS says 23.8 miles from the finish. We will be much closer by the time it transmits as we have no phone signal at the moment.
After a pretty grim day yesterday spent in the cold salty washing machine known as the Irish Sea, it decided to be kinder to us overnight with some good sailing in vaguely the right direction at times, when the tide permitted, and a settling sea state. We resumed proper off watches able to snatch a couple of hours out of out wet outer kit, although everything now has a salty dampness.
Have been meaning to mention the fantastic array of sea birds ever present out here, especially round Mew Island, although I think I ran over one that was snoozing on the sea last night. It really shouted at me and I am sure if I could see it gave me a really nasty look. On the subject of weather and birds we did wonder if someone had inadvertently shot an albatross!
This morning is pleasant with 15kn of breeze and a fair bit of blue sky with sun shining in rays thru the clouds – quite spectacular.
Looking forward to dry land now, our bodies are aching and we look forward to being able to do the simple chores on a stable platform without having to hang on to something, although that may change again later after a couple of well earned beers.
Now less than 17 miles to go – more when we finish.

Thanks for your updates; my son was on Perserverance which was often behind, beside, ahead and behind of you so your blogs gave me an idea of conditions generally. Enjoy those well earned beers. Sally in Canada

The International standard for film/plate holders is post WWII 194/7 I think, and some new cameras still took non standard book form holders well into the late 1950's. Watson and Gandofi were two companies still making book form holders
I must have at least 15 or 16 MPP holders now, 6 are plate holders 2 with the same film inserts, others are identical except MPP riveted the inserts in place from new. Some MPP holders have a different register as did some very early MPP cameras. I have checked mine and they are all standard. MPP holders do have slightly wider edges holding the film so the film area is a touch smaller. They are very well made and despite high prices on Ebay from certain sellers can be picked up quite cheaply. (£2/$3.15 is about the average I've paid for them).

Good evening Captains,Seeing as the MD-11 can technically fall under being applicable to the MEL (gotta love the system programming) I decided to download the MMEL from the FAA website. Now there is reversion 10 (standard) and revision 10a (incremental).My question is what is the difference between the two? Do I need both or just 10a?
Please donate today! |

Grays Athletic's pre-season unveiled
6:20am Saturday 2nd June 2012 in Sport
NON-LEAGUE: GRAYS Athletic will play their first pre-season matches against well known rivals.
Blues travel to Canvey Island-based Concord Rangers on Saturday July 21 and will face Southend Manor away from home on Tuesday August 7. Last July a brace of goals from trialist Dwight Gayle helped Blues to a 3-2 win at Thames Road, while The Beach Boys notched up their own 3-2 win in December as they won an exciting Essex Senior Cup Quarter Final tie.
The match against Southend Manor will be the first between the two clubs.
Blues will also entertain AFC Hornchurch and a Dagenham & Redbridge XI.
Jimmy McFarlane will bring his newly promoted AFC Hornchurch side to Rush Green on Saturday August 11, which is a week before both teams start their respective league campaigns.
The Urchins visited Rookery Hill last July and won by a single goal scored by Frankie Curley.
Blues will also face a Dagenham & Redbridge XI on Thursday July 19.

Cheap price right next to termini train station. Really disinterested staff and the bathroom is a bit grubby but it's cheap by Rome prices. Good area for cheap food as well. Not the most authentic but still tasty.

As a boy, Eric Close longed to be the Bionic Man. Growing up in San Diego with younger brothers Randy, now 29, and Chris, 27, "we'd beat up on each other, thinking we could run fast and leap high," says Close. "I always won until they got bigger than me; then it was all over!"
In fact, it was just beginning. Close, 32, is now channeling Lee Majors on the CBS action drama Now and Again. He plays Michael Wiseman, a deceased insurance executive rebuilt as a government-created superman. The actor, who does many of his own stunts, including scaling skyscrapers and leaping onto speeding cars, remains undaunted on the set. "The scariest thing I've had to do is step down from my trailer," he jokes. "It's a huge drop!"
And a giant leap for the Staten Island, N.Y.-born Close, whose parents—Frederick, 60, an orthopedic surgeon, and Eva, 56, a saleswoman—relocated to California in 1975. A 1989 graduate of USC, he had bit parts on MacGyver and Sisters before landing Now and Again.
Close's most satisfying role, however, is dad to Katie, his 13-month-old daughter with Keri, 30, his wife of four years. "He likes to bring her in the kitchen and say, 'This is how you scramble an egg,' " says Keri, a former social worker. Close, who shares a Manhattan apartment with his family, even catches himself warbling Teletubby and Gymboree tunes. "I'm getting pretty good," he says. It's the only boast the newly minted star permits. "I have people who'd kick my butt if I got too high on myself," he says. "My wife and brothers would shake me down."

Webmaster, you're right and I stand corrected. I forgot about all those search engines! Oh well.

Residents of West St. Vrain Street gathered in April to protest a barricade the city erected, turning their street into a dead-end.
This photo from www.FlashEarth.com shows how St. Vrain Street shrinks dramatically as it approaches 18th Street. It was deemed a traffic hazard and closed when a new couple in the neighborhood complained. Blow-back from the rest of the neighborhood forced the city to reopen the intersection as a one-way only. Now, the city has restored it to full two-way traffic after widening was deemed too expensive.
Below is a photo of the Old Colorado City branch of the Pikes Peak Library. Phase two of a $1.2 million renovation project is complete and the library reopened after being closed six months for construction. The project involved significant structural and cosmetic work including rebuilding the foundation, replacing the furnace, windows and doors, installing a lift to give access to disabled patrons to basement meeting space and such innovations as new computers and wireless Internet access. Go to the library's Web site at www.PPLD.org for photos and details.
Here is a map to the library.
Finally, Lee Nicholos has agreed to remove trees from the parkway outside his home at Logan and Platte avenues, east of downtown near Memorial Hospital. The trees obstructed the vision of motorists turning onto Platte. But the city is honoring Nicholos and his magnolia trees by asking him to create a planting area at a new entryway to downtown near the recently completed Bijou Street bridge. Below is a photo of the trees he had planted near a stop sign outside his home.

► Visual figures are distinguished by coherent motion and higher order spatial features ► We used a white noise approach to decouple and analyze these two components ► Flies have independent subsystems to track each stream, differing in space and time ► Filters that describe the two streams robustly predict visual figure tracking
Visual figures may be distinguished based on elementary motion or higher-order non-Fourier features, and flies track both [1]. The canonical elementary motion detector, a compact computation for Fourier motion direction and amplitude, can also encode higher-order signals provided elaborate preprocessing [2,3,4]. However, the way in which a fly tracks a moving figure containing both elementary and higher-order signals has not been investigated. Using a novel white noise approach, we demonstrate that (1) the composite response to an object containing both elementary motion (EM) and uncorrelated higher-order figure motion (FM) reflects the linear superposition of each component; (2) the EM-driven component is velocity-dependent, whereas the FM component is driven by retinal position; (3) retinotopic variation in EM and FM responses are different from one another; (4) the FM subsystem superimposes saccadic turns upon smooth pursuit; and (5) the two systems in combination are necessary and sufficient to predict the full range of figure tracking behaviors, including those that generate no EM cues at all [1]. This analysis requires an extension of the model that fly motion vision is based on simple elementary motion detectors [5] and provides a novel method to characterize the subsystems responsible for the pursuit of visual figures.

How to use Helvetica, properly
Helvetica has been a very controversial typeface within the design community for the past 50 years. Some designers (like myself, see the tattoo) are absolutely in love with Helvetica and find it to be brilliant. While other designers argue that … Continue reading

Green Herbal Blend by David Rio
A refreshing and smooth blend of organic green tea and natural pear essence.
Another bagged tea from the lovely High Adventure
After my yoga session this morning, I had a craving for Matcha.
I am currently out, till I remembered this bag I had in my sample drawer.
When I first opened the packet I was a tad frightened since the pear smell was quite pronounced and almost candy-like.
Once the tea was brewed the smell had calmed down some.
The matcha taste is there, but its is rather overtaken by the pear, however, the pear taste is not so loud and candy-like as the smell of it at the beginning.
Nice little tea to sip while I am still on my yoga high.
Thank you again, High Adventure!
I purchased this a couple years ago, but I still have a few bags lingering around. The version I have contains matcha green tea and sunflower pedals, in addition to 'natural french pear' (whatever that is).
It's a smooth tea, and the green tea is of wonderful quality. I hated it at first, but once I figured out how to actually steep green tea, it made sense – and it was pretty robust! Nothing to write home about, though. Don't let the packaging fool you: this is the kind of quality you can buy as a generic grocery store brand.
That said, it's not bad. Flowery, but no qualities that make it anything to go out of your way for.

Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.
Horse dragons have equine-shaped bodies and hooves instead of claws, which allow them to be fast runners. They specialize in running takeoffs, which are quicker than taking off from a stand-still. Horse dragons are able to stalk their prey from the ground then quickly execute an aerial attack for the kill.
Heredity is an interesting thing.
Rather than growing up to be both a fierce defender and mighty hunter like her parents expected her to be, Violette is, in simplest terms, something of a fop. Despite her father's best efforts, she prefers an idle chat over 'That odd hunting thing they seem to do'.
Nevertheless, there are some things that personality alone can't stop. After finally being convinced to go out with Gemstone, Proklyatie and Meina on a hunt, she discovered that she outflew them all by a wide margin effortlessly. However, she told them immediately afterwards that while it was fun and she would consider flying for the fun of it, she simply was not hunting material.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, she has developed a close friendship with Latinicus.

Friends or Foes
By Naomi Rabinowitz Posted: Mar 30, 2011I have mixed feelings about Stephanie and Brooke's brief friendship coming to an end on B&B. On the one hand, Susan Flannery and Katherine Kelly Lang play well off of each other when their characters are sparring, but I also liked seeing them mature and get past their differences. Plus, it's not like Steph isn't above forming friendships with one-time rivals; she and Sally eventually became pals and she's close with her former adversary, Jackie. I was also enjoying the "triangle" between Brooke, Stephanie and Taylor. These three women have so much history between them that you could root for all sides; much as I liked watching Brooke and Steph bond, I really sympathized with Taylor, who felt as if she were left out. Who hasn't experienced that in a friendship?
What I really dislike about the turn in the storyline is that it's Ridge who's the focus; his marital status to Brooke is what's driving Brooke and Stephanie's animosity, as well as Stephanie and Taylor's revitalized friendship. It's all they talk about! Instead, I'd like to see more storylines between the women, especially Taylor and Stephanie. Taylor was so hurt by Stephanie turning to Brooke in recent months; it's hard to believe that Taylor would get over this so easily. And surely these intelligent women must have something to discuss other than Ridge. Why can't we have some scenes where Taylor and Steph catch up with a fun ladies' night out?
I'm not saying that Ridge shouldn't be a part of their story; he is important to all of them. Still, I believe that these rich female characters are well-rounded enough to stand on their own.

Once out of London, a 2 hour drive west along the M4 brings you to the Severn Bridge, gateway to South Wales - a region transformed during the industrial revolution by the coal and iron mining industry.
Privatisation of coal mines by the conservative government in the early 1990s led to widespread closures and had a catastrophic effect on the local economy. Several old mines now provide visitors with a glimpse of an industry and way of life still fresh in the minds of many. When the Industrial Revolution began in the 1700s coal extraction grew from small scale, easily accessible surface mining, to large scale workings that followed the coal seams deep underground. Originally one of the main uses for coal mined in South Wales was to feed furnaces used in the production of iron from the abundant seams of iron ore in the region, but coal soon became the main primary energy source for industry and transportation in the western hemisphere and demand for it rocketed. As the industry grew the miners began to form unions to fight for better wages and working conditions. The main union was the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), founded in 1888, which had 600,000 members by 1908. Much of the 'old left' of British politics can trace its origins to coal-mining areas. Mine workers went on strike in 1926 in a bid for improvement of working conditions, and again in 1984 in opposition to increased job losses as a result of mechanisation.
The coal industry in Britain was nationalised in 1947 after the importance of maintaining coal supplies had been realised in both world wars, and it remained in public ownership until the 1980s. The emergence of alternative energies supplies such as oil, and natural gas in the late 1950s brought competition to the coal mines, and as time went by the industry began to contract making many pits uneconomical to work. The National Coal Board was eventually privatised by the conservative government as a result of this, and throughout the 1990s many pits were sold off, virtually closing down the industry.
Big Pit Mine in Blaenafon closed in 1980, the site is now a mining museum and guided tours by headtorch are led by ex-miners through a labyrinth of passages 90m below ground. It is part of the National Museums of Wales and entry is free.
Carreglwyd campsite is located in Port Eynon on the Gower Peninsula, overlooking the village and bay. Westerly facing fields provide pitches that are flooded with sunlight on a clear morning. Facilities are basic but the showers are hot and clean. At £9 per person for a tent pitch the price seems a little expensive but not unusual for the Gower Peninsula. Rhosilli Beach is a 10-15 minute drive away and a great example of the sort of coastal treasures that exist in the UK, so often sought by taking holidays abroad.

Sorry for the horrible title but I could not resist.
It seems we are in the market for more WR's. It was evident last season that poor WR play coupled with dreadful QB play
(Evidence for anyone who wants to say it was not the QB's fault is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiJxhD-uYkc (the blame MUST be shared)
Now we have openly stated interest in two free agent WR's - Danario Alexander (undrafted rookie- led nation in receiving- has a mushy knee) and Terrell Owens (sure fire hall of fame WR, 'QB ruiner and egoist', cries for his QB's)
My question is, who would you rather have and why?
Proven talent in T.O or wildcard UDFA Danari-O?

What i want to do is to have two monitors connected to my Shuttle XS35GT. I want to use a small monitor when i want to play music and the television for movies etc. My solution is to buy a Lilliput Mini USB Monitor. With this setup i will only need to power up my XS35GT and the receiver when i want to play music.
This monitor wasn't designed for linux, but i have found a how to.I want to run the monitor as clone. Will i be able to get it to work with xbmc live or should i install Ubuntu. I'm running Dharma beta 2 right now.
Another question: The shuttle's power supply is only 40 watt. Can i power a monitor over the usb? In the future i might also wanna add an external hdd.
If you have another idea i i would to hear it. Thank you.
Dual monitor - usb monitor and television

I too have taken a look at those monitors with the same thought in mind. I'm not a dev so this is guess work, but I suspect that it won't work without some hacking. XBMC requires acceleration which the video chip in those Lilliput displays doesn't provide (to the best of my knowledge). You might be able to configure it to run a full screen web browser using the web interface, but I suspect that that would be your only option.

I use something similar, TV + Mimo 7'' and it works. I'm using Windows 7 with XBMC as a regular app and have different profiles. One of them is XBMC on the Mimo with sound through my 5.1 set. With the latest drivers from displaylink.com it works quite wel. I can even watch movies on the Mimo at 25fps
So yes its possible but YMMV. Regards, Joop |

text: FOR DEMOCRACY, STABILITY, UNITY AND CONTINUITY TROUGH THE CONSTITUTIONAL PARLIAMENTARY KINGDOM OF SERBIA There is a time in the life of a nation when the heritage of the past must be faced with courage and responsibility, and the burden of prejudice that stand in the way of achieving a stable and prosperous society relinquished. The Republican system functions in an exemplary way in many countries, stimulating the general development of the political environment and freedom. In Serbia, the heritage of a misguided totalitarian republican system represents a painful inheritance of the times and ideology that collapsed under the weight of its own delusions and abuses. That is why the reestablishment of the Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy of the Kingdom of Serbia is a very positive act that can not be ignored by anyone who cares about democracy, stability and the future. Such Serbia will not be founded on ideological zeal, national and religious discrimination, prejudices derived from the wrong definitions and the heritage of intolerance. The Kingdom of Serbia should be a modern European Constitutional Parliamentary Monarchy, like in all the countries with this state system, in which the King is a symbol of political stability, national unity and continuity of the state. In such Kingdom of Serbia, the Government is established on the decision of parliamentary majority and is elected in the free and fair democratic elections. The government rules the country pursuant to the entrusted mandate and within the constitutional authorizations. Through the personality of the King the country and the nation respect tradition and history, in which they find strength and inspiration for the future. Through the Constitution, the King respects his own duties and prerogatives, and finds grounds for the rule of law, justice, freedom, human rights and equality. In the King and the Constitution, the people have protection of their inalienable rights and permanent interests. The King is not elected, but is generated through direct and unconditioned heritage of the Royal reign of the Royal House of Karadjordje, in the line from King Peter I, according to the principle of primogeniture, from father to son, from generation to generation. The King of Serbia reigns by the grace of God and by the will of the people, and is not subject to any other influence. The will of the people is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Kingdom of Serbia, which sets basic rights and duties of everybody and all in Serbia. The Government in the Constitutional Parliamentary monarchy rules by the permit of the majority of the citizens who have the right to vote, and the will of that majority. The King takes care of the welfare of all citizens, regardless of their ethnic or religious origin or political orientation. The King is above politics, and acts outside all political parties. The right of the King is to be informed by the elected Government, to advise the Government and to warn it if and when necessary. On the eve of the parliamentary elections, when the people are deciding on their immediate future, but also on its destiny in the times to come, we believe it is our duty to inform the people of Serbia and Montenegro about our view, with full responsibility and awareness. The people of Serbia, because the elections are the right opportunity to decide on their destiny, and the people of Montenegro because in the state union such as ours, the decision of the people of Serbia does not endanger anybody, does not threat anybody, does not condition anybody, except that it confirms the right of the people to decide autonomously on their destiny. We are convinced the time for this is now. Belgrade, 1 December 2003 CROWN COUNCIL PRIVY COUNCIL CROWN CABINET LEGAL COUNCIL |

Top Oil & Gas Companies / ConocoPhillips
ConocoPhillips has a handful of operating segments: Exploration and Production (which conducts business worldwide); Midstream (gathering and processing of natural gas, and fractionating and marketing natural gas liquids in the US, Canada, and Trinidad, primarily through its 50% stake in DCP Midstream Partners); Refining and Marketing of crude oil and petroleum products, mainly in the US, Europe, and Asia; and Chemicals (manufacturing and marketing petrochemicals and plastics worldwide, primarily though its 50% stake in Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LLC). In addition, its Emerging Businesses segment handles the discovery and cultivation of new technologies related to natural gas conversion into clean fuels, technology solutions, power generation, and emerging technologies.
In 2010, as a result of the BP oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the company teamed with Exxon Mobil, Chevron, and Royal Dutch Shell to form a $1 billion rapid-response joint venture with the capabilities to manage and contain future deepwater oil spills.
The recovering economy and higher commodity prices helped to lift the company's revenues in 2010. However, in order generate additional cash, the company has been selling off some of its assets. In 2010 ConocoPhillips sold its 9% stake in Canadian oil sands operator Syncrude to China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. for $4.7 billion. In 2011 it completed the sale of its 20% stake in LUKOIL as part of larger program to dispose of $10 billion of assets in order to pay down debt.
To add more value for investors, in 2011 ConocoPhillips announced plans to spin off its refining unit, creating two stand-alone publicly traded companies. The new downstream company will be named Phillips 66.
To raise cash, that year the company agreed to sell its stakes in two non-core US oil pipelines, Colonial and Seaway (the sale of the latter was completed in late 2011) for about $2 billion. It also agreed in 2012 to sell its Vietnam assets for about $1.3 billion.
