An expected process is unfolding as it should
Not sure this should come as any big huge surprise given the circumstances and what we know but Marc Stein's reporting Jose's agent and Bryan are working to find some deal that's amenable to both sides.
Now, it doesn't mean anything is imminent – although we all should know how quickly things can change – but it does make sense to explore all avenues.
If nothing happens, nothing happens. But after listening to Bryan the other day talk about "multiple teams" that called about Jose in the wake of the Lowry trade, there could be some fit somewhere in the league.
Would suck a bit. Despite the bleats of so many of you, Jose's a fine NBA point guard, he's given six solid seasons to this organization and I think a point guard combo of he and Lowry would work just fine.
Have been trying to reach Jose directly but he's with the Spanish national team getting ready for the Olympics and a bit preoccupied. I wonder how much of this might be an agent trying to drum up something for a client, which is what agents are paid handsomely to do and which is just good business practice.
As soon as the Lowry deal was leaked, ears perked up around the NBA about the possibility of a Calderon departure and if I know one thing about NBA general managers it's that when they smell blood in the water, they go all low-ball with any offers. It's part of the dance.
But of this we can be certain: There are talks going on -- how serious they are no one knows -- but I also know Bryan isn't going to do a deal quickly just to do a deal and if this goes into the season before other teams decide they have a point guard need, so be it.
However, if something happens, you have to be certain that Bryan gets a point guard in return or is looking at someone in free agency.
A Lowry-Calderon duo, or Calderon-Lowry, would be a position of strength; a hedge against inevitable injury with two proven NBAers and a tandem with a difference in styles that would change game.
I don't think any of you would be as confident in, say, a Lowry-Ben Uzoh combination, would you?
I don't know what the eventual outcome to this will be – my spidey sense says status quo for a little bit – but if it happens, it'll be a tough day; we'll chat about that then.
Thoughts are with all you triskaidekaphophia sufferers out there.
So it's about 30 C last evening, not a cloud in the sky, the Mighty Red Tigers are ready for action.
And we get rained out.
Somehow, the zany folks who program the sprinkler system for parks here decided that 5 p.m.-6 p.m. would be a good time to water the infield and that 6 p.m.-6:45 p.m. would be a good time for left field to get some sustenance.
Kinda reminds me of this, even if it is rather low quality and doesn't have the best line of the scene:
"I can get us rainout."
But what the Mighty Red Tigers aren't is …
You guys are good.
It wasn't 10 minutes after news leaked out that the Houston Rockets were going to use the amnesty provision on Luis Scola that I got the first question about him here.
And, after some of my own due diligence, it's not happening.
While they're lots of love for his game – and I'm a huge fan – it's not really the best fit for this organization as this time and they'll take a pass. The combination of money, years left, roster composition and where they are in the building process means there's a lack of interest.
But you guys are good.
You know, sometimes there are benefits to doing this gig.
One of my sort of branch-out jobs this week was to be part of the paper's "Help" series and I was able to piggyback on a golf thing to get some tips myself.
Turned out to be a not bad story, and a pretty good video that's here and Bradlee Ryall (his website's here) up at Braeben here in Hazelville (New motto: Home Of Inappropriate Sprinkler Time) is one outstanding teacher.
If he can massage our subject's swing and make it seem so logical and sensible to a guy watching, I can just imagine what he'd do with a full range of lessons.
"Great athletes come to me for golf lessons and they're robotic. They're great football players or basketball players or hockey players and they're just a different animal over the golf ball. You have it in you to be great, it's just how can we get that out of you."
We probably weren't at the practice green for more than 45 minutes and I came away with a far better understanding of what I need to do around greens thanks to Bradlee and Steve.
And trust me, after scuffling it around the last time I played – barely able to hit it out of my shadow – I could use an hour or two of intense instruction since I'm not getting nearly the weight I should in The Friendly Nassau Matches.
Summer League starts for the HOTH today!!!!! Pumped?
Anyway, the roster finally got released last night – it's here for your reading pleasure – and I caution you, as I do every year, with these words:
Summer League doesn't tell you who can play, it tells you who can't.
Best thing I ever saw at Summer League: Hoffa getting 10 personal fouls in one game (you can't foul out of Summer League games, sadly); it was a classic moment.
Mail, please.
Haven't heard from some Irregulars in quite a while.

Heyy all,
I wanted to share with you guys how I keep my car looking its best in between washes.
The products I use are:
-Last touch 1:1
-NXT glass cleaner
-Hot shine dressing
- Supreme Shine MFs x 2 One for cleaning and the other for finishing
- Armor all glass towels
(above picture was taken after surface was cleaned )
This is how dirty my car usually gets before I use this method. I wouldn't try this if it were dirtier than this, to avoid swirls of course.
Too start , I fold my supreme shine MFs 3 times to get something like this
Doing this will give you 16 clean sides to work with.
Now to actually clean the car, I spray Last touch on one section at a time about the size of half a door panel. About as much as in the picture.
Next, I wipe horizontally across the surface. I only wipe each section once. I find that one swipe is all it takes to clean the grime off the paint.
Then, I take the second Supreme shine MF towel and gently buff away the residue and streaks left over from the Last touch.
I do the whole car ( including the door jambs) using this two MF towel technique, I then finish off by cleaning the glass , wiping down the wheels and dressing the tires if needed.
Here are some pictures of the results:
And here's the cleaning Supreme Shine MF towel after, both sides are similar. I only needed one MF towel to clean because of the way i folded it , but use as many as you need.
Thanks for looking and feel free to post your techniques and tips !!

Which Team Is Worse: The Knicks Or Nets?
How did things get so bad so fast in New York? The Knicks have lost nine games in a row, and half their team is either hurt (Tyson Chandler), complaining (Carmelo Anthony) or involved in trade rumors (Iman Shumpert). Brooklyn is almost just as bad, a team with a handful of future Hall of Famers and only one goal (championship) sitting at 5-12. Read More »

Great color, but it jamsPros: Absolutely superb color photos. Cons: Our printer jammed about every third or fourth print job. We can's use it under these circumstances. Other Thoughts: It is entirely possible that the printer's propensity to jam only manifest itself when we did some sort of special job (possibly duplexing or card stock, both of which we use). Did you find this review helpful? |
POOR WARRANTYPros: Very great printing quality ... Cons: The printer output some stange marks on the edge of the paper. Call Samsung tech. They required me to send the unit to a repair center... I ask them what am I supposed to do without printer in my office.... They where unable to tell. That's there warranty policy. If I was them I would have sent a brand new unit and ask me to return the defective unit after. Other Thoughts: I'm an IT Consultant and I was pro samsung since 10 years. Now, I'm kind of changing my mind !! 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
No Warranty SupportPros: This had the potential to be a nice printer, if only it had worked. Cons: Expensive toner. Aftermarket toner is not yet available. Other Thoughts: I received a defective printer (print dropouts). Samsung was unable to repair and refused to replace it. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent printerPros: Excellent plain paper print quality, inexpensive for a color laser, very easy to set up with either DHCP or static address, easy toner replacement, very low power consumption when on standby, starter cartridges are standard size, direct network connection means no need for a print server. Cons: The toner cartridges are pricey. It's cheaper to buy a new printer than to replace the cartridges. While it prints very quickly, the low power consumption leads to long warmup times. it takes a couple minutes to warm up and start printing, but this is common among laser printers and just part of life. If you have a lot to print, it's better to lump it all into one job. Other Thoughts: Some people have complained there is no wireless. In my experiences, I'm happy it is not. Wireless networking is too insecure and has too many problems. If you want to keep other people from using your printer, wired is best. Did you find this review helpful? |
Out of Paper" errorsPros: Was build in direct print funtion. Cons: Mine also gived "Out of Paper" errors even when the tray was loaded with at least list 120 sheets of paper plus cartrige erros too. Other Thoughts: RMA today Save me of more future unpleasant surprises. thanks NewEgg. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not so sure about this onePros: Prints text nicely, color pictures are decent enough. Packed well. Cons: Bought 2 of these and both are giving "Out of Paper" errors even when the trays are loaded. Other Thoughts: I bought 2 of these on a good sale from Newegg and figured I couldn't go wrong with the Samsung name. Not so. The first one we installed had issues with the paper tray after the 3rd print stating it was empty. After monkeying with the tray and various loads of paper, we still could not clear the error. So I swapped out the first unit and installed the second unit. Same thing. Printed a few times, then paper tray errors. Then some of the computers started printing with it, while others got a paper tray error. Very strange. Had to force a static IP through the server to get it to be seen properly on the LAN. Now, suddenly the second unit is working, at least today. I don't know if it will be tomorrow. Very irritating in a work environment where I just don't have time to babysit a temperamental piece of equipment. It was cheap, and I guess you get what you pay for. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: average colour quality sometimes on USB direct printing funtion. Cons: Fail to print correctly, Despite last driver/sofware and firmware were installed. especific toner cartridges relate error. Samsung tecnical suport solution too generic Despite I send then pictures of the error mesaje and failed Printout. Since no solution RMA will be wise. Other Thoughts: Rarely I make a mistake selecting a good product from newegg this is probably the exception. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great price for beautiful printsPros: Smaller than my Brother AIW. Has much better print outs (full color photos from my GS3) than I expected, considering the price. It rivals that HP5500 I use at work! Built it networking is great... I didn't want wireless so no loss there. Cons: Had to do some research on setting up the networking. I had it on my network, but it would go to sleep and not wake when I sent a job to it. To remedy it, I had to set the IP to static and reserve it on my router. Now it wakes up for print jobs just fine. Other Thoughts: I'm not really sure what the point of the eco mode is. I turned it on and a full page color PDF was reduced in sized and printed in greyscale. Needless to say, I turned it off. I don't print a lot of color at home, I mostly use my Brother AIW black only laser and it's been on the same cartridge for 2 years. I bought this one because I was tired of the ink cartridges for my various ink jets going dry before I could use them. It was a huge waste of money. I had to buy ink when I needed to print. Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome Prints - Great PrinterPros: Purchased this to replace my long running Dell 3100cn work horse. For the price point, it was the highest resolution 9600 X 600 dpi. I was considering the auto duplex HP, but it was priced higher and was 600 X 600. The reviews on the other site were pretty good. This did not dissapoint. I set up the printer and it worked perfectly. Nice prints, not photo quality from an inkjet, but crisp with good color and details. So far so good.. Excellent buy.s Cons: None so far Did you find this review helpful? |
Poor Samsung supportPros: No comment Cons: I was really looking forward to using this printer, but it arrived DOA. Well sort of. The printer booted up with errors claiming every toner cartridges was incompatible. I made multiple calls to Samsung and they determined the cartridges were mostly likely defective. Yes, all 4 of them! After explaining this was brand new right out of the box, I asked to have new cartridges expedited so I wouldn't have to return the 50lb item, which would be added expense to everyone involved. Instead, they stated shipping replacement cartridges was a lengthy process and will take 10-14 days. Since it was apparent these starter cartridges had issues, they were going to send me the same. So in addition I requested full cartridges and not starters for my troubles. Again, Samsung rebutted my request, claiming the factory they did not have them and it was also against policy. Talk about getting the run around. So I cancelled the service request and plan to RMA this printer for full return. Not because of the printer, but because of Samsung's handling of this issue was pathetic. For such an expensive printer DOA from the start, I expected better customer service from Samsung. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

The importance of flossing:
Brushing teeth properly and consistently helps to remove most dental plaque, however, brushing alone cannot remove plaque that is located in places that a toothbrush cannot reach, particularly in-between teeth. In addition to removing plaque, flossing also helps to:
- polish tooth surfaces.
- control bad breath.
Types of dental floss:
Regular, consistent flossing is the single most important weapon against plaque, perhaps more important than the toothbrush. The different types of dental floss include the following:- waxed and unwaxed
- flavored and unflavored
- wide and regular
Flossing methods:
Your child's dentist or other oral healthcare provider can provide a demonstration of any of the following flossing techniques. They include:- spool method (also called the finger-wrap method)
Cut off a piece of floss that is approximately 18 to 20 inches in length. Lightly wrap each side of the piece of floss several times around each middle finger. Next, carefully maneuver the floss in-between the teeth with your index fingers and thumbs in an up and down, not side-to-side motion. It is best to bring the floss up and down making sure to go below the gumline, forming a "C" on the side of each tooth.
Cut off a piece of floss that is approximately 18 inches long, and tie it securely in a circle. Next, place all of the fingers, except the thumb, within the loop. Then, use your index fingers to guide the floss through the lower teeth, and use your thumbs to guide the floss through the upper teeth, making sure to go below the gumline, forming a "C" on the side of each tooth.
Other flossing techniques:
Flossing tools, such as a prethreaded flosser or floss holder may be helpful for people who are just learning how to floss, individuals with limited dexterity in their arms and/or hands, or persons who are flossing the teeth of someone else (particularly a child or disabled person).Irrigating devices, such as waterpicks, are not considered a substitute for brushing and flossing. These devices may be effective around orthodontic braces that retain food or in areas a toothbrush cannot reach. However, they do not remove plaque.

NORTHFIELD A Northfield man was sentenced Monday to just over eight years in federal prison for possessing child pornography.
Robert Gray, 37, was sentenced to 97 months followed by 10 years of supervised release. District Court Judge William K. Sessions also ordered him to complete sex offender treatment.
According to court records, a search of Grays home Feb. 24 led to the seizure of two computers Gray used. More than 1,000 images and many videos containing child pornography were found on the computers, according to officials.
Gray was indicted by a federal grand jury in March and pleaded guilty in September.
Robert Gray has already demonstrated that he poses a threat to the most vulnerable members of our communities, our children, said Bruce M. Foucart, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, in a news release. Its a horrifying fact that by trading child pornography on the Internet, offenders like Gray effectively sentence those depicted to a lifetime of victimization.

Holiday parties are right around the corner, and finding something to wear for every soiree can be a challenge, not to mention, a tad pricey. So, in today's episode of Currently Trending, we've styled one classic red dress for three totally different occasions. From playful patterns to snakeskin accents to a luxe fur coat, we've got something to suit any party on your social calendar this season. So get in the holiday spirit and wear a festive red dress out on the town! On Allison: Marc by Marc Jacobs top, Alice + Olivia skirt.
Emma Stone Stuns in Lanvin
Emma Stone had one of our favorite looks at the Golden Globes last night, stealing the spotlight in a two-toned plum and fuchsia tulle Lanvin gown with an embellished eagle waistband. The Help actress has been killing it with her fashion choices, and we can't wait to see what she'll wear next.
Celeb Style: Alexa Chung's Sweet and Sexy LRD
Alexa Chung's quirky-sweet style combos never miss the mark. This latest one inspires a sexy-meets-girlie spin on the little red dress. We spotted the fashionable Brit stepping out for Valentino in one of the designer's brilliantly hued, bow-sleeved little frocks. On its own, the dress offers a slightly sexy statement, but paired with cheeky, Charlotte Olympia cat-face flats, Alexa balances the sultry appeal with a touch of humor. As if we couldn't love it anymore, we're also lusting after her studded, leather Valentino arm candy. Loving it, too? Just shop our editors' picks to channel Alexa's playful little look.

Trend Alert: Red Hot
I've said it once and I'll say it again: There's nothing like a red hot dress. Sure to turn heads, the red dress is a purveyor of power, femininity, and sexuality. I tend to stow away my red dresses for the Winter months, but if it's hot outside, make the world swelter by throwing on a red frock. Confident and cool ladies Ali Larter and Mary-Louise Parker opted for red sheaths, while Rachel Weisz was in head-to-toe theatrics for a Vogue shoot. Is it hot in here, or is it me?

Alexander McQueen Tulle-Underlay Silk Dress: Love It or Hate It?

Andy LaRoche, Bobby Cramer make A's roster; Tyson Ross, Eric Sogard sent down
By Joe Stiglich
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
in 2011 Spring Training.
A quick rundown on the A's final roster cuts (so much for my predictions from this morning!)
–Andy LaRoche was kept as the utility infielder over Eric Sogard. Score that a mild upset as Sogard is the stronger defensive player and was already on the 40-man roster. Obviously, the A's feel LaRoche is adequate enough with the glove to get by whenever he's called upon. But this move was all about LaRoche's potential impact with the bat. He hit .333 this spring and led the team in homers (4) and RBIs (13). Adam Rosales, the projected backup infielder before he suffered a foot injury, was placed on the 60-day DL to clear a 40-man spot for LaRoche.
–Bobby Cramer was kept as the final reliever over Tyson Ross. That's despite a rough bottom of the ninth today in a 2-1 loss to the Giants, when Cramer had a throwing error that contributed to the Giants' winning two-run rally. That gives the A's four lefties in their seven-man bullpen. Jerry Blevins, Craig Breslow, Cramer and Brian Fuentes join right-handers Grant Balfour, Michael Wuertz and Brad Ziegler (Andrew Bailey was placed on the 15-day DL as expected). This was a surprising call to me. I like the idea of Ross getting Triple-A seasoning as a starter, and I think that's best for his future. But I still thought his relief experience from last year would trump any potential benefit of keeping Cramer. It's a great story for Cramer, who was playing in the Mexican League at this point last year and has never been on an Opening Day roster. He said that he was told to be ready for any relief role — one innings, two innings or long relief. A's manager Bob Geren classified Cramer as predominantly a long man.
–Landon Powell was kept as the backup catcher over Josh Donaldson, which was no surprise …
More in tomorrow morning's A's notebook …

A People's History of the Hmong
- Overview
- More Info
- By: Paul Hillmer
- Format: Cloth, 256 pgs., 6 x 9, 50 b&w photos, 2 maps, notes, index, bibliography
- Publisher: MHS Press, (Dec. 2009)
- Usually ships in: 1 to 3 business days
Winner of a 2010 American Association of State and Local History (AASLH) Award of Merit and 2010 WOW Award by the Leadership in History Awards committee.
Over the centuries, the Hmong have called many places home, including China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and most recently France, Australia, and the United States. Their new neighbors, though welcoming, may know little about how they have come to these places or their views on relationships, religion, or art. Now, in A Peopls's History of the Hmong, representative voices offer their community's story, spanning four thousand years to the present day.
"This was the life of our Hmong people," remembers Pa Seng Thao, one of many who describe farming villages in the mountains of Laos. Others help us understand the Hmong experience during the Vietnam War, particularly when the U.S. military pulled out of Laos, abandoning thousands of Hmong allies. Readers learn firsthand of the hardships of refugee camps and the challenges of making a home in a foreign country, with a new language and customs. Drawing on more than two hundred interviews, historian Paul Hillmer assembles a compelling history in the words of the people who lived it.

Described as the pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik will not fail to impress with great City walls rising out of the brilliant Adriatic against a backdrop of steep mountainsides. Within the walls of the old town are some fine architecture and lively streets crammed with shops, cafes and restaurants. Walk the City walls to enjoy the beautiful roofscape of the old town and the seascape beyond. Visit the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries and stroll down the cobbled streets and alleyways or relax in the cafes. During the summer months the Dubrovnik festival hosts concerts on most nights providing music of all types.

Stadun, Dubrovnik |
Gruz is the port area of Dubrovnik where the cruise ships dock and where mega-yaghts tie up at the quayside around this large and sheltered natural harbour. The gentle banks of Gruz harbour was where the Dubrovnik noblemen chose to build their fine summer palaces to escape the heat and bustle of the ancient city. Many of these stunning Rennaisance buildings are still standing and some have been renovated as luxury hotels or spectacular private houses. Today Gruz is a shopping and commercial centre for Dubrovnik as well as a living museum of Rennaisance architecture.
Eating Out
Dubrovnik offers everything from sophisticated restaurants in spectacular waterside locations to simple bistros in alleyways and side streets of the old town. The choice is endless. We can provide you with our recommendations
In Dubrovnik there are popular beaches all around the Lapad Peninsula. From the old town harbour ferries go regularly to the small island of Lokrum just a few minutes away, where Dubrovnik people traditionally like to go for a swim. A short distance down the coast there are sandy and shingle beaches at Kupari and Mlini.
The nearby islands of Lopud, Sipan and Kolocep are easily reached by ferry from Dubrovnik. Much quieter but still historically interesting. Lopud has one of the best sandy beaches in the region whjoch can be reaced by walking across the narrow neck of thre island from the town of Lopud. The charming harbour front village of Suderad on Sipanhas a well preserved fortified palace from the 15th century.
About 10km from Dubrovnik is the famous landscaped garden and arboretum of Trsteno a Mediterranean garden with a fine array of trees and breathtaking views. The gardens were created by the nobleman Ivan Gucetic in the grounds of his summer villa built between 1494 and 1502 .

This delightful town is set between two bays with restaurants and cafes around the harbour front which is a popular mooring place for yachtsmen. Narrow alleyways and stone staircases wind their way up the hillside from the waterfront between charming stone houses. There are plenty of excellent beaches close at hand. The town is just 10 minutes drive from Dubrovnik airport and no more than 15 minutes from Dubrovnik old town.

Ston and Mali Ston
The picturesque town of Ston with its small sister town of Mali Ston are picturesque fortified medieval towns standing either end of the narrow isthmus that joins the Peljesac peninsula to the mainland. Rich in history they are places of culinary excellence and several renowned seafood restaurants are there. Prapratno Cove, close to Ston, provides one of the finest sandy beaches in Croatia. Dubrovnik is within 40 minutes drive down the spectacular coast road.

The Dubrovnik Republic acquired control over Peljesac in 1333 and proceeded to construct massive fortifications in the form of a 5.5 kilometre wall spanning the isthmus and circling the towns of Ston and Mali Ston that stood on the coast at either end of the wall. The wall was built between 1336 and 1358 and is considered to be the longest defensive wall in Europe. Above Mali Ston and forming part of the town's fortification stands the impressive five-towered castle, Koruna. Mali Ston itself is laid out in terraces rising up the hillside and overlooking the sheltered harbour with its landmark circular Toljevac Tower built in 1478. Just across the isthmus lies Ston, laid out to a grid plan in the 14th century, the town is reminiscent of Dubrovnik and contains some fine public buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. The ancient wall has been restored and is open to the public. The walk from Ston to Mali Ston provides wonderful views of the coastline and towns below. The saltpans at ston, still operating today are estimated to have generated two thirds of the Dubrovnik Republic's revenue in the 14th century. Nearby the small community of Broce, reached by a causeway running beside the Ston channel, was established in 1349 and has historic buildings and a delightful beach.

Eating out
Ston and Mali ston are places of culinary excellence. There are renowned seafood restaurants, notably Bota Sare (occupying and old salt warehouse) and Kapetanova Kuca (Captain's House), on the seafront of Mali Ston. The town is famous for its oysters harvested from the local oyster beds. You can sample the excellent local white wine, Posip, and two great reds: Dingac and Postup.
There are beaches at Mali Ston and Broce and Prapratno Cove, close to Ston, provides one of the finest sandy beaches in Croatia.. The Peljesac peninsula contains some of the very best beaches that can be found on the Adriatic. A 30 minute drive up the peninsula will take you to the delightful village of Zuljana. The village houses front a small harbour and sandy beach which offers excellent swimming against a spectacular backdrop of woodland and mountains.
The Peljesace peninsula
The Peljesace peninsula, some 65km long is only 6km across at its widest point. It joins the main land at Ston and run parallel to the main Dalmatian coast. The peninsula is characterised by a rugged natural beauty. Mountains of over 900 metres height run down the spine of the peninsula and the coastline is indented with many natural bays and harbours. The principal town on the Peninsula is Orebic. The peninsula has some of the nicest beached in Croatia, both sand and shingle and many that are in quiet and picturesque bays. Trpanj is a pretty harbour town with a delightful beach, linked by ferry to the mainland at Ploce. Trstenik and Zuljana are amongst the prettiest beach front villages that you will find in Croatia.
The historic towns of Ston and Mali Ston, with their massive fortifications, have guarded the entrance to the Peninsula since the 14th century. Today they are also famed for their excellent restaurants and locally harvested oysters.
Local wines from the Peljesac peninsular are considered to be amongst Croatia's finest. Notable are the red wines. Dingac is most highly regarded but we would also recommend trying Postup and Plavac. There are several wineries located in the village of Potomje on the road running up the centre of the peninsular. It is possible to taste wine and buy directly from the wineries.

Irish Slaves taken to Mecca

Irish Taken and Sold as Slaves
On June 20 Algerian pirates from the Barbary Coast slaughtered and enslaved inhabitants from a village
in Cork, Ireland. Over 100 inhabitants were taken.
To make matters worse, an Irishman from Dungarvan
by the name of Hacket, betrayed the town to the
pirates to save his own skin.
Who were the pirates ?
This bloody band of pirates put the village in flames
and took as many as possible as slaves. The pirates
included Algerians, Turks and Dutch nationals.
A notorious Dutch pirate, was in fact the captain of
these renegades. (Some say the pirates might have
been encouraged by Coppinger, who was envious
of this town, held by O'Driscoll.)
The 'Sack of Baltimore' by T. Davis tells us:
'and o'er each black and bearded face
the white or crimson shawl,
The yell of "Allah!" breaks above the prayer, and
shriek, and roar;
O blessed God! The Algerine is Lord of Baltimore!..."
Finding These Families
To find these families may prove difficult. Some
were sold and became galley slaves, some were
taken to 'Meccas sandy dwells', others served
at the pleasure of the Sultan. To make genealogy
research more difficult, most of these villagers
originally came from England to Ireland, under the
lordship of O'Driscoll.
Hacket Hanged
The traitor Hacket was hanged amid the ruins of the
village two years later. It seems Hackets ship had
been taken earlier by the pirates. He then sold out the
town of Baltimore in exchange for his safety.
Some surviving residents relocated to Skibereen,
Co. Cork. The calamity Skibereen faced two centuries
later in the great famine, is a well known tragedy too.
DNA traces
Should you find legends, or traces of 'strange' DNA in
your ancestors from North Africa, your family could
descend from this notorious raid of June 20, 1631.
Most were never to be heard from again.
It all began with the raid on the village of Baltimore,
County Cork, Ireland on that date.
There is much more to the story which I will include
in a future hedge school blog at www.Irishroots.com

As a Driscoll whose great grandparents came from the Baltimore area and Skibereen I know the story well, along with many others. My daughter and I have researched our family and she has a website with genealogy about our part of the Driscoll family. We have been to the annual O'Driscoll Clan Gathering in Baltimore and love the Driscolls and their history by whatever version of the name.

Do you agree with President Obama's planned strategy for Afghanistan?
December 9, 2009
Robin Jones ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"No. I don't agree with asking our troops to risk their lives and then not providing sufficient numbers to accomplish the task. I also find the timing of his announcement to coincide with the debate on health care somewhat suspect. I think it is an attempt to divert attention from the senate health care bill. When people find out more (or heaven forbid actually read the bill) they are usually quite alarmed at its contents."
Brady Field ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"Considering I'm going to debate this topic in my debate class, I could see both sides of the issue. I do believe that we need to secure the Kandahar Province, where most of the Taliban are trying to take control. However, I don't believe that we'll get out of the Middle East as fast as Obama hopes, whether we send more troops there or not. It is going to be a long process to bring stability to the Middle East."
Gloria Brimhall ( in Tonganoxie) says...
"No, I don't think we should send troops. You would think we would learn from history. You know, Russia sent troops in there and look how that turned out. I don't know what the answer is, but sending more people to be killed, harmed and maimed is not the answer."

Elation and waiting FaceBook is finally finally finally a public company.
And promotional investors the question now is where does that stock go from here.
Because now face but joins nearly 3000 other NASDAQ stocks that are graded on bottom line performance.
And it's not just about how many users -- -- hats.
But about earnings and revenue growth on that score.
You have to wonder just how well FaceBook can perform top line growth revenue growth that is is already slowing and course.
In terms of market cap it's far far smaller than some of the industry leaders in technology like apple.
One of the keys to the company's future success is how well it can use the personal information of its 900 million users.
And that puts it directly in conflict with our federal government.
Investors have been attracted like a -- to a -- by the treasure trove of personal data.
The FaceBook users share on the side but the degree to which you can monetize that asset is far from certain.
Or is one commentator said today FaceBook sitting on a gold mine now it needs to find a way to mine it.
What's more the company is well -- well known CEO the could be the Mark Zuckerberg.
Has never run a public company he's a brilliant programmer and entrepreneur -- But it's an open question how well -- can manage all of -- on like FaceBook and -- eyes now rivals that of Pepsi Amazon Disney.
Not long ago he bought out instead gram -- one billion dollars without even consulting his board of directors.
That brings a lack of experience would be tolerated in any other industry.
Look one of the things about this deal that is bothered me is the degree to which insiders seem to be bailing.
Nearly 60% of the stock.
Of the stock offering we saw today.
Comes from current shareholders who are cashing out bailing -- moving on maybe they believe like so many of us know that Internet companies have a short -- shelf life.
Now despite all this the enthusiasm for the stock is through the roof.
Yesterday one of the employees of the building we working here in New York came up to me and -- where I thought of the FaceBook IP out.
This person had never Biden individual stock now that's a sign there may be too much -- from the market for FaceBook stock.
Ultimately though for me it's an open question whether FaceBook as the next great stock investment being the next big thing well it's just not the same thing.
The best advice I can Muster wait for six months when insider's options typically expire and selling pressures from insiders debates if you still like it then well --

Is there any way (perhaps involving jailbreaking) to disable all (or at least some) of the transition animations on iPad?
Examples: Homescreen fly-together animation, sliding animations in apps
Answer: there is no way to do this. | |||
If you install FakeClockUp and set it to 10x, it almost feels like the animations are disabled. | |||

Meme star chart May 16 2013
From XKCD, a chart of the memes that various star systems are just hearing from the Earth's light-speed communications.
This is the meme version of Contact's opening credits scene, which is one of my favorites:
From XKCD, a chart of the memes that various star systems are just hearing from the Earth's light-speed communications.
This is the meme version of Contact's opening credits scene, which is one of my favorites:
A team of scientists has discovered a potentially habitable planet located about 20 light years from Earth.
The paper reports the discovery of two new planets around the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 581. This brings the total number of known planets around this star to six, the most yet discovered in a planetary system other than our own solar system. Like our solar system, the planets around Gliese 581 have nearly circular orbits.
The most interesting of the two new planets is Gliese 581g, with a mass three to four times that of the Earth and an orbital period of just under 37 days. Its mass indicates that it is probably a rocky planet with a definite surface and that it has enough gravity to hold on to an atmosphere, according to Vogt.
Gliese 581, located 20 light years away from Earth in the constellation Libra, has a somewhat checkered history of habitable-planet claims. Two previously detected planets in the system lie at the edges of the habitable zone, one on the hot side (planet c) and one on the cold side (planet d). While some astronomers still think planet d may be habitable if it has a thick atmosphere with a strong greenhouse effect to warm it up, others are skeptical. The newly discovered planet g, however, lies right in the middle of the habitable zone.
Sam Arbesman's prediction of May 2011 might have been too conservative. And 20 light years...that means we could send a signal there, and if someone of sufficient technological capability is there and listening, we could hear something back within our lifetime. Contact! (thx, jimray)
Strange Maps has a map of What's On Earth Tonight, basically a TV Guide for the Milky Way. The map is not that big yet because TV signals have only been sent out from Earth since the late 1920s.
The first tv images of World War II are about to hit Aldebaran star system, 65 light years [ly] away. If there's anybody out there alive and with eyes to see it, the barrage of actual and dramatised footage of WW2 will keep them shocked and/or entertained for decades to come. Which is just as well, for they'll have to wait quite a few years to catch the first episodes of such seminal series as The Twilight Zone and Bonanza (both 1959), just about now hitting the (putative) extraterrestrial biological entities of the Mu Arae area (appr. 50 ly). The Cosby Show, Miami Vice and Night Court (all 1984) should be all the rage on Fomalhaut (25 ly). Meanwhile, the sentient, tv-watching creatures near Alpha Centauri (4.4 ly), our closest extrasolar star, are just recovering from the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" during Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's halftime show during the 2004 Superbowl.
See also the opening scene from Contact.
A map of the Milky Way done in the style of the London tube map.
I was re-reading Carl Sagan's novel Contact recently, essentially a series of arguments about SETI wrapped into a story, and he alludes to some sort of cosmic Grand Central Station. That, coupled with my longtime interest in transit maps, got me thinking about all of this.
At the very moment that humans discovered the scale of the universe and found that their most unconstrained fancies were in fact dwarfed by the true dimensions of even the Milky Way Galaxy, they took steps that ensured that their descendants would be unable to see the stars at all. For a million years humans had grown up with a personal daily knowledge of the vault of heaven. In the last few thousand years they began building and emigrating to the cities. In the last few decades, a major fraction of the human population had abandoned a rustic way of life. As technology developed and the cities were polluted, the nights became starless. New generations grew to maturity wholly ignorant of the sky that had transfixed their ancestors and had stimulated the modern age of science and technology. Without even noticing, just as astronomy entered a golden age most people cut themselves off from the sky, a cosmic isolationism that only ended with the dawn of space exploration.
That's Carl Sagan in Contact from 1985. The effects of light pollution were documented in the New Yorker last August.
The New Yorker recently ran a feature on how a couple of mathematicians helped The Met photograph a part of The Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries. That same week, they ran from their extensive archives a 1992 profile of the same mathematicians, brothers David and Gregory Chudnovsky. The Chudnovskys were then engaged in calculating as many digits of pi as they could using a homemade supercomputer housed in their Manhattan apartment. There's some speculation that director Darren Aronfsky based his 1998 film, Pi, on the Chudnovskys and after reading the above article, there's little doubt that's exactly what he did:
They wonder whether the digits contain a hidden rule, an as yet unseen architecture, close to the mind of God. A subtle and fantastic order may appear in the digits of pi way out there somewhere; no one knows. No one has ever proved, for example, that pi does not turn into nothing but nines and zeros, spattered to infinity in some peculiar arrangement. If we were to explore the digits of pi far enough, they might resolve into a breathtaking numerical pattern, as knotty as "The Book of Kells," and it might mean something. It might be a small but interesting message from God, hidden in the crypt of the circle, awaiting notice by a mathematician.
The Chudnovsky article also reminds me of Contact by Carl Sagan in which pi is prominently featured as well.
According to Wolfram Research's Mathworld, the current world record for the calculation of digits in pi is 1241100000000 digits, held by Japanese computer scientists Kanada, Ushio and Kuroda. Kanada is named in the article as the Chudnovskys main competitor at the time.
(Oh, and as for patterns hidden in pi, we've already found one. It's called the circle. Just because humans discovered circles first and pi later shouldn't mean that the latter is derived from the former.)

Software Branching and Parallel Universes
"Source control is the very bedrock of software development. Without some sort of version control system in place, you can't reasonably call yourself a software engineer. If you're using a source control system of any kind, you're versioning files almost by definition. The concept of versioning is deeply embedded in every source control system. You can't avoid it.
But there's another concept, equally fundamental to source control, which is much less frequently used in practice. That concept is branching."
