No matter how much time, you've had building and troubleshooting computers, there's always a curve ball. Read and learn 2 months ago, my system started to lock up consistently after 2-10 minutes after booting. If I was working on it, the mouse would start to lag, then a few seconds later, completely unresponsive. I even had it lock up in a BIOS screen, even before booting into Windows!!! Here's what I tried, and each attempt met with no luck: Swapping the video card Swapping the memory Reverting to stock clocks CMOS Clear/reset Unplugging all storage peripherals (Extra HDD's, floppy, CD) A different boot HDD drive Monitoring the power draw (PSU) Finally, I replaced the MOTHERBOARD!!! Had a Maximus Formula X38, replaced with a Rampage Formula X48. Well, thought that was all good. but nooooo... About 15 min mouse studder, crash and blue screen. Rebooted and 10 min later locked up in windows like before. So I was scratching my head... ok - doing this: I happened to have a spare keyboard lying around ( prodikeys of all things). Took out the old keyboard and put in the prodikeys... It's working!!! So here was the root of the problem: Go figure, a $15 keyboard was the issue. Lesson learned? Perhaps. And that lesson would be this: before replacing $100's worth of parts, start with cabling, then try to root out the cheap stuff.
haha. i had this aswell with my first build i used the apple keyboard which was usb for some reason it kept hanging at post. only way it would work was if i remove it and plug it back in when its into windows
i have this exact keyboard. thought it looked cool... not using it atm but if i have problems when i do - now i have an idea craziness.
Weird thing about USB - if something attached to the hub doesn't behave the way it's expected to, it's like a windup toy walking into a wall. I don't know why it just can't quarantine that channel and move on, but it doesn't. I've had this problem with a couple of usb devices and almost all of the time what happens is you have the system hang at bootup. I wonder if it's just coincidence that the same thing happened with bad IDE drives. If the system couldn't get pass the initialization or whatever it does at bootup, it would just hang.
Eating CROW So, my dear TPU friends... everything seemed fine for a while, then the system started getting flakey again! I can't blame the keyboard. So I'm having CROW for dinner. I started this thread with a ASUS Rampage Formula X48 I found on eBay. When I booted everything seemed fine (for quite a while). First, I started witnessing blue screens, no clean lockups like before... then the MB LAN could not acquire an IP address from my router, neither plug. I started tryng other hardware again. Even a new hard drive and installing windows. I couldn't install windows, it would either lock up or reboot on it's own. by far, the WORST list of problems I've EVER had with a PC. Even installed a Matrox PCI video card, took out the onboard sound. Then... I tried a cheapo 400w PSU I had kicking around. HOLY SHIT, THINGS ARE WORKING!!! The Hiper TypeR 580w PSU is FUCKED. Now, I'm sure the Rampage MB is damaged. Out of three motherboards, here are the results: Original Maximus Formula seems to be running fine, no issues. this was what I thought was the original problem ASUS Rampage Formula - Onboard LAN will not acquire an IP address, flakes out on boot up from time to time. Even flashed to the newest BIOS Newer Maximus Formula is fine, no issues. It was never plugged into the Hiper PSU. Lesson learned? I'm not sure - I think it's that you don't rave about a problem solved until you're absolutely sure.
Yea that sucks. I have a gigabyte board which kept BSOD and restarting, my daughters computer. Had a thread here with everyone trying to help figure it out. Changed out everything but mother board. Just when I thought it was a bad board. I changed last two items and have had no trouble since, been going on 6 months. Dont know which one did it but I dont care either. The last two items changed was speakers went with a 20.00 cheap speakers from walmart. And went from Linksys wireless adapter to hardwire.
Wow, swapping either a speaker or router solved the problems? that is one for the books as well. I'm expecting arrival of a Corsair HX750 PSU today. I'm feeling gun-shy, like I'll discover it's something else, even after convincing myself otherwise <eek!>

.htaccess question
Søren Bjerg:
Not really PHP as such, nor HTML/CSS... but here goes;
I would have searched Google for an answer, but I had no idea what to search for apart from "htaccess", which doesn't really narrow it down enough :-[.
So the question is how I'd setup a .htaccess file so ...
... would work like ...
... or something like that, so the URL wouldn't have a questionmark.
Actually, I'm told this works already.... (no change to .htaccess needed.)
You just have to set up your file.php file to parse $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']... or, so I'm told.
Søren Bjerg:
That'd be sweet... thanks, I'll try playing around with it some.
EDIT: Seems to work nicely;
--- Code: ---$var = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$var = substr(strrchr($thrid, "/"), 1);
--- End code ---
Søren Bjerg, what is the reason for changing URL? if you think current URL system isn't good enough check this topic it's proove that current system works perfectly and no extra tweaking is really necessary.
Søren Bjerg:
sensovision, some forums doesn't like questionmarks in the URL if the URL in question is a picture ;).
Don't care that much for spidering the entire forum as Google spiders what's important on my site very well as it is now (not that spidering was my reason for asking this question) 8).

Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
Over the past two decades, the intelligent design movement has been working diligently to offer a parallel version of modern science, one that can scientifically show God at work in creation.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright responds to a question from a BioLogos Forum reader who notes that in the world of evangelical Christianity there seems to be a great suspicion about becoming too politically liberal, but few worries about becoming too conservative.

I am asked all the time to explain, in a nutshell, why irreducible complexity is not a valid argument in favor of intelligent design. However, I have never heard anyone put it in a more cogent form than Oxford biophysicist Ard Louis in this video.
In this video clip, Oxford University biophysicist, Ard Louis posits that one of the reasons Christians are hostile to evolution is that they latch onto a particular definition, which puts it in conflict with their theological convictions.

Birth name:
Kim Victoria Cattrall
August 21, 1956 in Widnes, England, GB
Screen and stage actress Kim Cattrall was best known for her role as New York PR agent and femme fatale Samantha Jones on the hit HBO series "Sex and the City" (1998-2004). But prior to her lusty adventures in Manolo Blahnik shoes, Cattrall built up a long list of credits in forgotten low-budget features and TV movies during the 1980s, earning some notoriety for playing sexpots in "Porkys" (1982), "Police Academy" (1984) and "Mannequin" (1987). However her lackluster film career belied her classical theater training in London and New York, where her early acting days were marked by appearances in heavy dramas. These seemingly at-odds career paths finally converged to create the charismatic, sexy, and intense character that earned the actress a Golden Globe, five Emmy nominations, and the respect of countless women who felt that Cattrall's performance as the unapologetically lustful Samantha on "Sex and the City" laid waste to preconceived views of just how sexual a woman of a certain age could or should be.

Shadow & The library
by Tamar Yoseloff
[ poetry - february 07 ]
How can a man throw his shadow make this the illumination of his experience, how put his weight exactly - there?
- Charles Olson
When we look back it is there, that
darkness of ourselves born
of days when the sun was blinding.
I trace what's left on the pavement
where you walked, schist or shit,
your heavy feet relearning those lost steps,
a dance we moved to once,
a shadow play in liquid streetlight,
late lamps, sodium glow of stars.
What mattered was matter, the precise
weight of you, so many ounces
of flesh and blood,
your hand on my shoulder, solid
and light like music,
our empty glasses on the table,
beakers for what cannot be
contained; the feather
of our lips, our touch.
The library
The fire was never lit. Cold, her body
was alert to words, her pores open to knowledge.
Sealed off from the rest of the house, padded
with paper and board, the only sound was the turning
of the page, a whisper, her shallow breath.
Gone. The books scattered to far corners,
cities a thousand miles away, strange
against paperbacks with rainbow covers,
they still carry the scent of deerskin and beeswax,
mildew-travellers from an antique land.
The model ship that used to drift the dark oak desk
is lost, never to reach the new world,
never to return home. She would touch
its windless sails, wonder at how they could make
everything so small. A planet reduced.

Compiz Fusion 0.5.2 Reunion Release
The Compiz project has just released the first developer version of its 3D window manager after the reunion with Beryl.
The developers of Compiz Extra and the Beryl fork decided to reunite four months ago to form Compiz Fusion. Compiz Fusion is the experimental branch in which new functions will are tested before making their way into the Compiz window manager. The first stable Compiz Fusion version 0.6.0 will be ready shortly after the release of Compiz 0.6.0.
After six months of work, and shortly after the release of Compiz 0.5.2, the first developer version of the reunited project has now been completed. Compiz Fusion version 0.5.2 contains a new plugin collection, the alternative window manager Emerald, the Libcompizconfig Compiz configuration system and the BCOP code generator.
The new plugins include new functions such as animations on opening, closing and focusing windows, along with extended zoom functions. Version 0.5.2 of Compiz uses the JPG image format. Up to now only PNG files were supported as cube caps. A crash handler has also been introduced to allow for error tracing in case of crashes, and which also supports the use of an alternative window manager. The release notes have a full list of new features.
The source code and binary packages for OpenSuse are available as downloads on the project website. The Compiz Fusion blog has screenshots and a video which give users a sneak preview of the new release.

The Mistral in Wisconsin and a Garlicky Artichoke Dip
My mother recalls she wasn't too fond of it, either. It was something she and her contemporaries associated with ethnic neighborhoods in large cities. I am sure its pungent odor offended their small-town sensibilities.
In fact, my parents were born into a world where garlic was looked upon as inferior (sound familiar?). But as the world grew smaller, garlic's benefits were discovered and extolled.
The older I get, the more I like garlic. And the more garlic I eat. I find there is very little that I do not add garlic to these days. I do not believe it has aphrodisiacal qualities. Well, maybe I do, but that's another story.
What I do know is that when consumed in any form it is delicious. And it is a mainstay of my favorite type of food, which is Mediterranean.
Thursday night, with the wind howling like the mistral over Marseilles, I wanted garlic.
The thing is, on Day 6 of the South Beach Diet Phase One, I am limited. Not terribly limited, mind you. I am eating very well. But you see I've got all this celery to snack on and I want something nippy to go with it.
A nice garlicky artichoke dip was in order, I thought.
And so I made one. A very healthy one, too. As is my habit, I made it from items already on hand. It's too nasty out there to run to the grocery store.
Warm Artichoke Dip with Garlic and Red Peppers
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts
2 small cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup Smart Balance Omega A Plus Mayonnaise Dressing
1/4 cup roasted red pepper, chopped (can be from a jar)
Drain the artichokes and pulverize them in a blender. Set aside. Place the minced garlic in a small sauce pan and sauté until golden brown. Add artichokes, cheeses and dressing. Add the red peppers last. Transfer dip to small baking dish and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Don't bake too long, or the cheese will separate.
I had my doubts about the Smart Balance. It's not bad, but not a replacement for mayo or Miracle Whip. For a treatise on these latter dressings, see Lydia's post at The Perfect Pantry.

this could go with anyones diet-truly a wonderful snack and you put forth so much effort! It is so colorful! Good luck with day seven-it is so hard, isn't it....but worth it in the end! Cheers!

I'm doing OK, but missing fruit. I can do without potatoes, rice and pasta — no problems — but what I would not give for an apple or pear dessert with an oatmeal-walnut crust!

Good luck with the diet. And really, I was reading about a world where garlic is inferior and it nearly makes me weep.h

I alway thought garlic was popularized after WWII, perhaps by GIs who brought it to respectability in the U.S.
I may be wrong.
Garlic, thankfully, is the king of flavors today. - 01 March, 2007 22:10
Good luck with the South Beach phase one Mimi. I've been there before, you can do it! You will appreciate fruit all the more when you can eat it again. The dip sounds very tasty to me too.

Yes, some of the food is fabulous, Sher and Tanna. It doesn't seem like a diet and I usually do make this dip around the holidays.
I know I'm gonna really love fruit (not that I loathed it before)...

I love recipes with artichokes, Mimi - but have never tried/made a dip with them!

Garlic (which is wonderful, of course) is one of the foods on my "like it cooked but not raw" list, along with onions. (I've already written to you about the foods I like raw, but not cooked, like strawberries and carrots.) Slow-roasted garlic is absolutely the best.
- 02 March, 2007 07:16
- Mimi said...
Patricia, my father used to do things with fresh artichokes, which I have yet to try (at least recently). I think that's going to be next. Oh, the possibilities are endless.
Lydia, I share your feelings toward cooked strawberries, but I do eat them once in a while. Raw garlic: If it would keep evil away, I would eat it. - 02 March, 2007 08:47

It's not possible to eat too much garlic - although friends might become a little more distant if they're not eating it with you....

Ah mimi -- when I got home from church this afternoon, my LCB noticed that I'd left 2/3 a can of artichoke hearts by the stove, and asked if I'd make her favorite artichoke dip. It's very much like the one you describe, but I hadn't thought of using celery to dip in it. That sounds really good.

Dawkins is the victim here of a very common Islamic supremacist tactic: to claim that any criticism of any jihadist action is a criticism of all Muslims, such criticism being not allowed under any circumstances in acceptable public discourse. The mainstream media and Islamic supremacist spokesmen did the same thing with our AFDI ad above, claiming that we were calling all Muslims "savages," as if every last Muslim supported the bloody and savage jihad against Israeli civilians.
And so Dawkins has to explain the obvious, as we do again and again and again, that he didn't mean all Muslims, and as he does, and as we do, the original point is lost -- which is the goal of this absurd Islamic supremacist victimhood posturing in the first place. Dawkins' original point was that those who destroyed the manuscripts in Timbuktu were barbarians. And they were. And they were acting in the name of Islam and its contempt for everything it considers jahiliyya, the society of unbelievers. Instead of addressing that, and determining to combat these ideas among their fellow Muslims, these Muslims went after Dawkins. So it always is: instead of fighting against the violent jihadists they profess to oppose, Islamic supremacists in the U.S. focus all their energy on attacking the non-Muslims who dare to oppose those jihadists.
"'A priceless heritage destroyed by Islamic barbarians': Atheist Professor Dawkins outrages Muslims with comments over Mali extremists wrecking library," by Mark Duell in the Daily Mail, January 31:
Atheist Richard Dawkins has outraged Muslims after describing looters who destroyed manuscripts in Mali as 'Islamic barbarians'.The 71-year-old author of The God Delusion was referring to the severe damage caused by Islamist extremists to a sacred library in Timbuktu but his remarks were seen as insulting to all Muslims.
Oxford University academic Professor Dawkins told his 600,000 Twitter followers on Tuesday: 'Like Alexandria, like Bamiyan, Timbuktu's priceless manuscript heritage destroyed by Islamic barbarians.'
But his comments were criticised, with some followers claiming he was unjustly attacking Islam and others saying he should be considering vandalism committed by Christians, reported the Daily Telegraph.
Muslim Twitter user 'Shawa5i Al Nasseri' from the United Arab Emirates said: 'You call us barbarians, truly no respect', before later adding: 'How do you explain this "destroyed by Islamic barbarians?"'
Professor Dawkins responded to the comments by saying: 'You mean you were one of those who burned the books in Timbuktu? No? I thought not. So I wasn't calling you a barbarian was I.'
He also said to all of his followers: 'I was calling Islamic BARBARIANS barbarians', adding: 'By "Islamic barbarians" I mean those Muslims who are also barbarians. I do not of course mean all Muslims.'
Professor Dawkins later added: 'Xtian (Christian) barbarians murder abortion doctors. Most Xtians (Christians) are not barbarians. Stalin was an atheist barbarian. Most atheists are not barbarians.'
On Monday Islamists were said to have burned down the world-famous Ahmed Baba Institute library containing priceless manuscripts and artefacts.'...

There are many reasons for choosing an SFC system for separations. Supercritical Fluid chromatography has often been cited as an 'alternative' to Normal Phase HPLC (NPLC), however it is much more than that – SFC is truly an orthogonal technique to Reverse Phase HPLC (RPLC) and offers a much greater capability than simple NPLC separations. Samples that can be separated by RPLC can often be separated by SFC and in many cases with better resolution, higher column loading and faster run times.
SFC has long been the method of choice for chiral separations, but with the large range (and growing rapidly) of stationary phases available – SFC is now becoming a powerful tool for achiral separations, both analytically and for sample prep.

Fun little flip!
I ordered the ones with a navy blue sole with a hot pink footbed and a navy with lime green polka dots. I have the Capri IV in a tan color and liked them so I thought I would give these a try and am glad I did! The fit is the same as the Capri IV. They do run narrow compared to the regular crocs or the Baha Flip, but my medium width feet do not hang over the sides at all. I'd say it was a perfect fit. I wouldn't recommend the Capri IV for someone with a wide foot. I love these fun little polka dot flip flops!

The style was cute, but when I tried them on, I felt like I was going to walk right out of them. I ordered in the size I normally wear in Crocs.
I loveD (past tense) my new summer blk/wh polka dot croc flip flops. That said............Note to all married women: Don't let your MIL store your crocs in a bin on the back porch with the kids sneakers and push it near the grill. The grill heat shrinks crocs in both length and width! I am so sold on the comfort and look of these flip flops that I am getting another pair ASAP!

Recipe by Carol
"The orange gives this cake the right touch."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon orange zest
3 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wonderful cake! I increased the grated orange zest to 2 Tbl. (1 Tbl. wasn't enough for me last time I made this cake.) I would make that same adjustment next time - 2 Tbl. was perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
This coffeecake has an excellent flavor. We all love it. I didn't care for the brown sugar glaze though and so I used an orange glaze of conf. sugar, o.j., vanilla and orange zest instead. It complimented the cake really well.

Wonderful flavor and a quick & easy cake to make!
This cake was pretty dense but with added orange zest (based on other reveiwers input) and a little OJ in the glaze subbed for the water, it had a nice citrusy and nutty flavor. My tasters loved this one.
A good recipe, but don't expect a majorly orange taste - it's actually quite a mild cake. Keep the graham crumbs large if you want a crunchy texture, otherwise you won't notice them at all. I wanted to cut use up oj so I made the glaze from oj, sugar and cornstarch, and it turned up quite well.
This cake is incredibly easy to make and just fabulous. As suggested by a reviewer I did an orange glaze but ended up also adding lemon and lemon zest and it came out real good.
I added an extra Tab of orange peel and it came out nice. Most of my family loved it, but I think they're starved for homade baking! LOL Still, I'm going to try the other graham recipes here.

i have a nas drive (network drive for those of you who dont know) i bought it as a pluscom and it is compatiable with crapbox and ps3. its flashed to an icybox903 firmware which is pretty much the same just a different logo.
my ps3 easily found it as a media server but when i go into it on the ps3 it only shows certain folders and for some strange reason it shows sub folders on the same level.
i have put a video file into one of the folders it does see and it finds it no problems and runs fine too.
if i plug the nas drive into the ps3 direct via usb it shows everything but obviously being a nas drive that would defeat its purpose connecting via usb.
i bought the nas drive for all my storage needs for my pc's and eventually ps3 which ive now obviously got a ps3.
anyone know what i should do next?
someone said press the triangle and choose show all but it doesnt give me that option (it did via usb though) so theres a setting a miss somewhere but where i dont know. it seems the nas is talking to the ps3 fine but not fully.
here is the user manual which doesnt make a lot of sense where the ps3 is concerned http://www.scribd.com/doc/45500874/35-Nas-User-Gui
in the section for media server it allows you to choose folders on the main index to use as music, pictures and video. ive got these all set to a folder called main because thats where all my stuff is. also ive tried to set it to another folder and sure enough it changes on the ps3 as it should.
on the main gui for the nas (accessed via pc) theres an option to enable/connect DHCP server ive tried that too still not playing ball.
im at a loss now, give me a pc i can sort a problem out but this is just beyond me
please help
thanks in advance

Your NAS is just not INDEXING files correctly for DLNA, from the manual I CAN SEE that there are multi List options in that you can select multi file List choices.
But can't see a creation screen were you "Make the Lists" of what files you share over DLNA. the only list is for Samba sharing unless thats the same list it shares over DLNA...

i get what your saying............
if i go into smb server or ftp i can create accounts in there and modify them. you modify an account to create/add folders.
thing is though thats already done and i have a folder called main with all my stuff in so i goto media server section and choose main and enable for pics vids and music.
on 28-12-2011 09:37 PM
So you need away to Force An update OF all the locations with in that Folder.
So that it removes the status of not shown ( Aka Private )And replaces all folders status with shown ( Public )
This is normaly Done Via the Software that hides under the WEB interface.
The problem is how to get at it as they don't give you access.

i know i can access it via ftp through the browser maybe replacing http with ftp may work?
on 28-12-2011 09:48 PM
It was just a shot in the dark as other media servers have a box you click for rescaning/rebuilding the index of the shared content.

found a newer firmware for my nas although it didnt mention ps3 in the notes it mentioned stuff about the crapbox360.
the odd thing is now it lists different folders and it does not list sub folders on the same level as it was doing before. it lists different folders now but it doesnt list the one with my music in and the one with my video's

To leash, or not to leash? That, more than any other question, is sure to spark an uproar in public parks. No matter where the battle plays out, the fault line falls in the same place, with dog owners and walkers who wish to let their pups run free on one side and, on the other, park-goers with children who wish to visit open spaces free of dog bites and smelly surprises smashed to the soles of their shoes.

i ordered a size 4-6 and these were tiny. more like 18 mo max. i would have sent them back because i assume it was a mispick, but it would have cost $7 to do so and it didn't seem worth it. i'll give them away. besides the fit, they are cheap, not thick or "chunky" and the tops are wide and not snug. these will lose shape quickly and won't be comfortable.

Success StoriesGTC Students Receive More Than $105,000 in Scholarships at Awards Ceremony The Gwinnett Tech Foundation awarded more than 100 scholarships for academic excellence and achievement to Gwinnett Tech students totaling $105,643 at the college's 2011 Awards Ceremony. Students were recognized for achievements in academic, vocational and occupational skills, as well as leadership and teamwork. "It's always a great pleasure to honor these students' achievements," says Sharon Bartels, president, Gwinnett Technical College. "We have so many deserving and highly successful students at Gwinnett Tech, which speaks to both the commitment our students have to their education and to the community and to the dedication of our faculty and staff." Dr. Jay Desai, a member of the Gwinnett Tech Foundation board who also established the Dr. Rekha Desai Excellence in Nursing Education Scholarship, is a strong proponent of supporting education. "I believe excellence in education should be encouraged for future generations. This is true in health fields where good grades must be complemented by a desire to serve and provide compassionate care. The Rekha Desai Scholarship was created to help students in need with their educational costs and give them encouragement to be well-rounded nurses with competent, caring attitudes so when they go out in the community they will be proud of the outstanding education they received at Gwinnett Technical College." Computer Information Systems student Adam Price was named Gwinnett Tech's 2011 Distinguished Student at the ceremony. Price was honored with the award for his academic excellence, dedication to community and campus outreach. An ambitious student, he is currently working towards a Networking Specialist degree with a concentration in both Windows and Cisco Network, plus a certificate for Information Security Specialist. Price also works part-time as a tutor while operating his own home theater business. He is a Dean's List recipient, treasurer for the Voices of the World campus club and has served as a GTC Student Ambassador. Computer Information Systems instructor Rita Patel, who has taught Price, says, "His intelligence is packed with humor and charisma. He's honest and committed to his work both professionally and personally. He has a passion for the IT field and he ignites that passion within other students during class." Price was selected from among six student finalists which included Ana Antunovic, Criminal Justice; Erin Baggett, Surgical Technology; Ami Bryant, Radiologic Technology; Stella Smith, Dental Lab Technology; Carolyn Tolbert, Business Administrative Technology; and Maggie Waddell, Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management. back |

Iroquois Nationals Penalized Again for Being Native?
Developing story: In 2010, the United Kingdom denied the Iroquois Nationals entrance into the country to compete in the 2010 FIL World Lacrosse Championships because they refused to recognize the valid Haudenosaunee passports the Native squad travels with. As a result, the Nationals couldn't play in the tournament, which is staged every four years, and Germany was placed in their spot in the elite Blue Division, which is home to the top six squads from the previous world championship.
Now, the FIL has ruled that the Nationals, a member nation, will not be restored to their legitimate place in the Blue Division for the 2014 World Championships, which will be held in Denver, because of what happened in 2010. Instead, Germany will again compete in the Blue, while the Nationals will be seeded 30th and placed in a lower division. This controversial decision by the FIL, which is falling back on "past precedence and bylaws" to justify the exclusion of the Nationals, is, the Iroquois say, an unfair and inconsistent move.
And the Nationals are appealing the decision.
In an April 18 letter to the FIL Board of Directors in Toronto, Nationals Chairman Oren Lyons and Executive Director Denise Waterman appealed, asking for the sport's governing body's general assembly to rule on the situation. Here is the letter.
With just over a year to go until 2014 Denver opens, the Nationals are pushing to get the FIL to reverse this decision and restore one of the sport's best squads to its rightful spot among the elite nations. Morevoer, this controversy transcends sport or politics: Oren Lyons, Onondaga Faithkeeper, spoke at a seminar in 2010 about how lacrosse , or Deyhontsigwa'ehs ('they bump hips') was played in the sky world before the world was created. It is a game that was given as a gift to the Haudenosaunee and they play it for the pleasure of the Creator.
get inside lacrosse involved-
get inside lacrosse involved- this is an outrage what can we do for you on long island ny to spread the word - my son attends the hill academy in Canada and plays with native americans on his team he feels so privileged every lacrosse player should support this cause please tell me how we can help I will spread the word here on long island tell us what you need done!
It's a matter of respect. In
It's a matter of respect. In this case, it's a matter of a lack of respect for the sovereignty of the Iroquois people. The players have earned their place in the Championships and nothing should stand in their way to compete at the level they have earned.

A discussion Regarding the Dumbest Phrase Ever
Really....? You are? That's SO intimidating!!! Way to put your foot down!
This post was originally going to be a rant on how people continuously misuse that phrase. But before I did it, I, being a top-notch researcher, googled the phrase to make sure that I was right and the rest of the world is wrong.
See, I thought drawing a line in the sand meant you're taking a meaningless stand against something that is out of your control.
Turns out I was wrong. Drawing a line in the sand really does mean "establishing a limit beyond which things will be unacceptable."
I understand the concept of drawing a line to separate the acceptable from the unacceptable. Lines make sense. But a line...IN THE SAND?
Ok. bear with me. Let's pretend you're on the beach. It's sunny. It's pretty. It's a fucking joyous damn day. You decide to draw a line in the sand. You draw your line. Five minutes later, you steal one of your brother's ritalin pills, go run off with your friends and practice french kissing behind the cabana.
An hour later, you go back to check on your line, and guess what? You can't find it. Why? BECAUSE YOU DREW IT IN THE SAND, FUCKNUT.
Even if you don't steal one of your brother's ritalin pills and run off to practice french kissing. Even if you stand by and guard your precious line that you drew in the sand. Either the wind, the surf, a bird or a person is going to fuck up your line in a matter of minutes. Why? BECAUSE YOU DREW IT IN THE SAND!
If you want to draw a line to separate the acceptable from the unacceptable, USE SOMETHING OTHER THAN SAND. Use red wine on beige carpeting to draw your line for example. That should do the trick. Or use permanent marker on khakis. Whatever.
But if you try to tell me you are drawing a line in the sand as a way of making a point to me, you can guarantee that I will respect that line about as long as that line would actually exist in nature. And then I'll call you names both to your face and behind your back.
It's a stupid phrase. It makes no sense. Don't use it. If you think I'm wrong, you're wrong.
The end.

I think they use sand because you can literally draw in it. On the other hand, other surfaces (road, sidewalk, carpet, marble..etc) are a little more difficult to draw on with your finger.

"Becuse you drew it in the sand fucknut."
Funniest post I've read in about 2 weeks. - 1:16 PM
The Stormin' Norman reference is a good one but I don't think that is the origin. This might be:
"One of the Macedonian kings, a bit short of cash, decided to invade Egypt, then a Roman protectorate. His army was met at the border by a lone Roman senator named Popillius Laenas, who ordered the king to withdraw. The king began to stall for time, so Popillius Laenas drew a circle in the sand around the king and demanded that the king agree to withdraw his army before he stepped out of the circle. The king, apparently impressed by the senator's nerve (or, more likely, by the Roman Empire in general), withdrew. Incidentally, not only is this account verified by contemporary historians, but it also may be the only known instance of a line drawn in the sand actually stopping someone."
Regardless of the origin, you are right about the line disappearing and that it's stupid. - 1:38 PM
i'm naming my first album "drawing a line in the sand."
I've always thought it was from the Alamo...
Allegedly, William Travis (or Jim Bowie or Davy Crocket or someone else that was important) drew a line in the sand outside the mission and told everyone who was with him to cross the line. At least that is the story I've heard a gazillion trillion times while growing up. We're proud of our stories down here. :) - 8:51 PM
