[Post-Chella] Edition three.
And finally, I'm back. I'm not going to lie, Tuesday was an incredibly rough start.
A scratchy throat to wake up with, a looming inbox that I keep trying to prolong taking care of, and realizing I barely have anything to eat in the cupboards. As fast as Coachella did arrive on the calendar, it no sooner got the fuck out and dropped me back into reality.
I really hate writing recaps of these sorts of experiences. Sometimes, I just don't want to reflect. I want to keep the good memories alive and well within my head. But, I feel there's such a bad stereotype on these things. I think a lot of my friends believe I'm crazy for going year after year, buying the tickets almost 365 days in advance, and spending hellishly hot days out in the desert sun.
It's no secret that these festivals are on the pricey side of things. They even offer installment payment plans. But you get what you pay for. Hundreds of live acts from an eclectic array of musicians. I can go from hardcore hip-hop to fuzzy, lo-fi bedroom rock and old school legends in the matter of a handful of hours. All within walking distance on lush, isolated polo grounds – this place is painstakingly put together from the art installations to the flow of traffic, they do a wonderful job.
One of my favorite things about this now-becoming-annual-trip is the camping. Coming from gritty Philadelphia to panoramic Southern California really opens my eyes and has become a fun getaway. Sure, waking up before 7 am every day solely due to the fact that you're baking inside your tent can probably get old but the element of roughing it up for the next 4-5 days with plenty of friends is enough to make me forget.
Being an extremely obsessed music lover, I'm always asked who I'm going to see. There's definitely plenty of artists I'd love to see live…but I know chances are that it probably won't happen. I found the best way to enjoy myself is to go with the flow, have a rough idea but always be open to plan B.
So, here were my favorites from the weekend.

Top data scientists often share three characteristics: they are creative, they are curious and they are competitive. Anthony Goldbloom, CEO of Kaggle, a company that hosts data prediction competitions, has figured out how to tap all three of these characteristics to help companies crowdsource their analytics problems.
During a 2008 internship at the Economist, economist-turned-journalist Anthony Goldbloom made an important discovery: many organizations that want to use predictive analytics don't have the skills to do it well, if at all. In response, he came up with an interesting business idea: create a company that allows anyone anywhere to compete to solve other business's analytics problems.
Today, hundreds of organizations have submitted their datasets and business problems to Goldbloom's company, Kaggle Inc. Sixty five thousand data scientists from around the globe have signed up with Kaggle to compete to develop the best algorithm for a given problem, anything from predicting click-through rates on ads to predicting who will be admitted to a hospital within the next year (a current competition with a $3 million purse). Their results are displayed in real time on a virtual leaderboard.
In a conversation with MIT SMR Contributing Editor Renee Boucher Ferguson, Kaggle founder and CEO Goldbloom talks about the motivation behind Kaggle and the outcomes of its data science competitions.

Dear Editor:
In a News Brief published in a recent edition of the Secaucus Reporter it was reported that a resident of Xchange at Secaucus Junction was angered to learn those residents were credited with buying a new fire truck for Secaucus at a cost of $29,000.
This Brief clarified the issue that the truck had been purchased by the developer of Xchange at Secaucus Junction. That answer might be monetarily satisfactory to those residents of the attractive new development. After reading the explanation of the need for such a new fire truck, I can't help but think of a question that might be of a far greater consequence to the residents of Xchange. Is my life in danger?
In the afore-mentioned News Brief it was reported that Councilman and Fire Department liaison Jim Clancy said "the residents of Exchange" had put up the money to buy a small fire truck that can better navigate the narrow streets within their housing development.
Looking back to an article which had appeared in a previous edition of this news periodical, the suspect article, which initially angered the above noted resident, it was stated, I believe, that there was a concern for the inability of the current fleet of Secaucus Fire Department trucks to enter the area in which they would be required to enter in the event of a fire.
How then is it even possible that plans were approved for the construction of such a large and mainly wood frame constructed housing facility in Secaucus in which most or all current fire trucks can not access the development, thereby endangering the safety and lives of those residents?
I would Xpect that Xchange at Secaucus residents would be far more concerned for their safety than a few dollars which they might have donated without their foreknowledge or consent. If such a situation is so Xtreme so as to jeopardize the lives of those residents they might want to consider becoming X-residents of Xchange.
If "ALL" of Secaucus Fire Department as well as "ALL" fire trucks from surrounding communities cannot access the entire internal roadway system of that new construction, then the residents of Xchange at Secaucus Junction had better be prepared for rapid departure and don't forget to stock up on marshmallows!

BJP, new Karnataka CM Shettar face tense days (News Analysis)
Bangalore, July 17 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party and its new chief minister in Karnataka, Jagadish Shettar, face testing times with continued dissidence casting shadow over a crucial assembly session starting July 19.
That is also the day voting takes place to elect the next president of India, an additional burden on the BJP as it has to keep the dissidents in good humour to ensure they do not embarrass it by voting for the ruling United Progressive Alliance candidate Pranab Mukherjee.
The BJP is supporting former Lok Sabha speaker Purno Sangma.
Shettar, BJP's third chief minister in the state in four years of its maiden rule, has to get the 2012-13 budget, presented by his predecessor D.V. Sadananda Gowda, passed by July 30 to avoid financial chaos.
Gowda had taken a vote on account in the legislature till July 30, pending the budget's approval.
Gowda was made to quit last Wednesday following a strident campaign by the BJP's first chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, who himself was forced out last July over mining bribery charges.
Shettar, who assumed office last Thursday, is also facing somewhat unexpected pressure over the delay in the appointment of a Lokayukta (ombudsman).
Karnataka High Court Chief Justice Vikramjit Sen Monday cautioned the government that if there was no satisfactory response within a week over the delay in the appointment, he might have to write to the governor that there was a constitutional crisis in the state.
The post has been vacant since last Sept 19 when Shivaraj Patil, a former Supreme Court judge, quit following a row over owning two sites in Bangalore from two cooperative housing societies.
Justice Sen's caution came on a public interest petition seeking a direction to the government for the early appointment of the Lokayukta.
The Shettar government can plead for, and may be granted, more time by the high court on Lokayukta issue.
However, the chief minister is hopelessly dependent on a wavering BJP national leadership to see the dissidents do not leave him and the party itself with egg on the face by cross-voting in the presidential poll and creating hurdles in passing the budget.
The dissidents are already causing severe embarrassment to the party.
Claiming they are a group of 21 legislators out of BJP's 120 in the 225-member assembly, the dissidents are rubbing it into party leadership by quoting Governor H.R. Bhardwaj, whose recall has been demanded by the party.
"The governor himself has said he was against inducting tainted legislators into the ministry. Still they have been taken in. They should be asked to quit and legislators who have worked for the party for a long time should be inducted," Belur Gopalkrishna, a vocal member of the dissident group, has been going round saying.
The 'tainted' ministers are V. Sommnna (housing), Murugesh Nirani (industries), C.P. Yogeshwar (forests) and C.T. Ravi (higher education). Somanna, Nirani and Yogeshwar were in the Sadananda Gowda cabinet. Ravi is a new entrant.
Of the four, Somanna and Yogeshwar are new entrants to BJP having crossed over to it from Congress during Yeddyurappa's rule.
All of them are fighting cases of alleged corruption and illegal land deals.
Adding to the anxious time for BJP and Shettar, Gopalkrishna late Monday met Janata Dal-Secular state president and former chief minister H.D. Kumaraswamy in Bangalore.
Though Gopalkrishna claimed that it was a "courtesy call", speculation is rife in political circles that JDS might be wooing the disgruntled BJP legislators to its hold as elections to the assembly are due May next and may be held this year-end.
JDS president and former Prime Minister H. D. Deve Gowda added his bit to keep the BJP on tenterhooks.
"They are welcome as long as they believe in secular ideals. No body is in touch with me. They may be in touch with Kumaraswamy," he told reporters here Monday.
Kumaraswamy is Gowda's son and became chief minister in 2006 by forming a coalition with BJP.
G. Karunakara Reddy, former minister and brother of jailed mining baron and former minister G. Janardhana Reddy, has assumed the leadership of the dissidents group in the BJP, shedding the low profile he had kept after his sibling's arrest by the Central Bureau of Investigation last September on charges of illegal mining.
"We are about 21 MLAs (members of the legislative assembly) and discussing all issues. We will announce decision July 18 or 19," Reddy said Sunday, leaving enough room for BJP to broker a deal ahead of the presidential poll and start of the assembly session.
It looks like the BJP has to again deal with the 'tainted' mining barons' family to save its government, adding another inglorious chapter to its scam-scarred rule in the state which it dreamt of being its route to govern south India.

Tickets can be reserved on Sept. 8.
By Laurie Edwards [ Smith Mountain Lake ]
Smith Mountain Lake will be giving the red-carpet treatment for the premiere of "Lake Effects," a movie filmed at the lake last year. The movie will be screened at Westlake Cinema on Friday, Oct. 7. Show times and ticket prices will be announced on the film's Facebook page.
The screening will include a red carpet event similar to those at a major Hollywood premiere. Anyone who attends the premiere will receive a free movie poster. Some of the actors will be on site, but a list of exactly who will attend has not been released. This will be the first public screening of "Lake Effects." Additional screenings may be added if demand merits.
"The community was such an integral part from day one, we wanted them to see it first," said Sara Elizabeth Timmins, the film's producer and a Moneta resident.
Following the screening, there will be an after-party at Mango's Bar & Grill at Bridgewater Plaza. Party proceeds will benefit a scholarship fund set up in memory of "Lake Effects" script writer and actor Scott Winters, who died July 12.
Reservations for the premiere will be accepted beginning Thursday, Sept. 8 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Westlake Cinema and on Wednesday, Sept. 14 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Roanoke Valley Convention and Visitor's Bureau.
"Lake Effects" is a family comedy/drama about a woman (played by Jane Seymour) and her two daughters who embark on a journey of rediscovery after the family patriarch dies. The movie is set at and was filmed at Smith Mountain Lake.
Other actors appearing in the movie include Scottie Thompson, Madeline Zima, Jeff Fahey, Eyal Podell, Ben Savage, Richard Moll, Casper Van Dien and Sean Patrick Flanery.
"Lake Effects" was signed earlier this month with distributor Vision Films, a company based in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Timmins said Vision is shopping the film at network television stations.
Westlake Cinema is owned by The Willard Companies, whose president, well-known developer Ron Willard, was an investor and supporter of "Lake Effects."
Timmins said Oct. 7 was chosen for the screening to coincide with the SML Charity Home Tour, held Oct. 7-9. Timmins said they want to promote local economic development and tourism, and hope that people coming into town for the premiere also will attend the Home Tour.
For more information about "Lake Effects," visit the film's Facebook page or lifeoutloudfilms.com.

B A+F Transportation: The Metro is very fast and convenient. It is my primary mode of transportation. It is much easier than having a car here, where you have to deal with parking costs and traffic. The only reason you would need a car is if you live off campus in Maryland or Virginia and are commuting in.
A A+F Transportation: The shuttle is free, the metro is between $2-3 one way, and as someone who likes to do a lot of exploring it's not bad pricing at all.
B A+F Transportation: Between the shuttles and the Metro, transportation is quick and cheap.
B A+F Transportation: The public transportation in the area is good however, I would prefer having a car.
C A+F Transportation: Lots of great transportation around the city - not as many at the school.

Hands down, D.C. is celebrated by students as one of the easiest cities to get around. The Metro, one of the cleanest and most efficient subway systems in the nation, runs through D.C. and even into parts of Virginia and Maryland. Students at AU praise the Metro for its ease, convenience, and proximity to campus. They are able to visit other neighborhoods and get around town both quickly and inexpensively.
The Tenleytown Metro stop is the closest to AU, and a short shuttle ride from campus to the stop links students to the entire D.C. area. With such an extensive Metro system, public transportation is definitely the preferred method of transportation among American University students.
The school runs buses across campus and to the Metro station about every 20 minutes all day. For more info, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lisle, IL 60532
The Honda Fit is a sporty subcompact that's fun to drive, practical and economical. The Fit has an amazingly configurable interior, with a second row of seats that can be folded, flattened, and flipped into position depending on your needs.
The Fit is fuel efficient, earning an EPA-estimated 27/33 mpg City/Highway. The 1.5-liter engine delivers 117-horsepower at 6600 rpm and 106 pound-feet of torque at 4800 rpm. Its overall size is just right for many drivers.
The Fit was redesigned for 2009. New styling resulted in a more upscale appearance, with better materials and seats inside. Improvements included better performance and slightly more power on the road. A new 1.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine gave the Fit slightly more horsepower and torque, while upgrades to chassis and suspension components improved the overall ride and handling experience. Larger standard wheels helped as well. There have been no additional changes for 2010. The Fit was first introduced to the U.S. market as a 2007 model.

INDIANAPOLIS – Dan Dakich has reached the point in his life where he isn't going to sugarcoat things. Or perhaps he never was at that point in his life.
Whether it's on his sports talk show in Indianapolis or while he's coaching the Indiana Elite South AAU basketball squad, what you are going to get from the former Indiana men's basketball coach is honesty. Pure, unfiltered, wince if you have to, brutal honesty.
Even if you are his son.
Following his team's 71-70 loss to Team Bradley Northwest Panthers in the opening round of the Adidas Invitational at North Central High School, Dakich gave his assessment – some good, some bad – to each player, including his point guard and son, Andrew Dakich. He wasn't harsh on Andrew, but as always, he was honest about his defensive play down the stretch of the game.
Likewise, the elder Dakich is honest in evaluating his son's game and where it will fit in this summer of performing in front of hundreds of college scouts.
"I'm able to step away (as a parent)," Dakich said. "I think that he is pretty good. He makes others better, which is what a point guard is supposed to do."
The 6-foot-1 Zionsville High School senior did that on Friday almost to a fault. He rarely shot the ball, but his impact on the game was felt on virtually each possession as he encouraged his teammates after nice plays and offered instruction when needed following mistakes.
"I think my strength is just being a coach on the floor," Andrew said. "I talk a lot (in) telling people to get into spots and I set people up."
As a junior with Zionsville, Dakich did set up teammates a lot. He led the Eagles with 113 assists (against just 50 turnovers), while helping his team to 15 wins before losing to eventual IHSAA Class 4A state champion Carmel in the sectional. Though he averaged just 9.3 points per game, Dan believes that some college coach will realize the positives that Andrew brings regardless of his offensive production.
"I think that he is one of the best leaders – if not the best leader – that I've ever been around," Dan said. "Even in AAU he is always talking to guys and getting them going. I think that has real value. Somebody will see that or not."
Andrew doesn't have a round of college visits planned at this point. He visited the Air Force Academy last fall, but despite having to perform in front of the scouts over the next few weeks to alter his future, neither he or his dad are looking at this recruiting period as pressure-packed for the teenager.
"I'm not really focusing on (the recruiting)," Andrew said. "I'm just trying to play my game, play tough."
Just as his father did for the Hoosiers as a player, Andrew comprehends that there is no substitute for effort. His father said that Andrew has "worked on his body and worked on his game."
"I try to get into the gym every day," Andrew said. "This is a great opportunity for me over the next few weeks. We'll see what happens."

This is a strange fact.
The two main schools in Assyriology:
The pan-Babylonian of Jeremias and Weidner AND the Nihilistic camp of Kugler and Neugebauer
do split along religious lines !:
The pan-Babylonians are Protestants.
The Nihilists are Catholics (Jesuits) and Jews (Rabbins and rabbinical scholars).
The pan-Babylonians say: 'Everything comes from Mesopotamia from times immemorial and the First Revelation is the Astral Religion of Pre-Deluvial Sumeria'.
The Nihilists say: 'This is rubbish. The knowledge of the Sky of the Mesopotamians was extremely primitive until 800 BC. And such Pre-Deluvial Astral Religion never existed. All is concocted by Winckler and Jeremias.
On the surface it is Protestants against Catholics and Jews.
These are at least the main players from the 1900 - 1936 period.
There are however Jews and Catholics in the pan-Babylonian camp too and many Protestants ( especially today ) are 'good friends' with Kugler....
The truth is that this academic conflict is more a conflict between Two opposing philosophies.
The Mystical versus the Dogmatic.
The Idea contra the Materia.
Jesus and Caiaphas.
Hasidism and Dogmatism
Truth and Delusion.
Jeremias and Kugler.
The strange thing is that the Nihilstic school could in fact get the upperhand and from the 1936 it sways almost full control on the minds of people.
And whoever controls the minds of the people he controls reality itself !
Here however is something bigger than all players. This is the Truth itself.
The Count-Down has started.

Question by Caveman formally known as Dan 4926 · Nov 18 '11 at 02:10 AM · zombie-apocalypse type-1 diabetes fat
I've been thinking about my Type 1 diabetes and wondering what I could ever due to get off insulin or if I was ever caught in a situation where I couldn't get access to it or healthcare like say your average and ordinary Zombie Apocalypse. I know that carbs and protein elevate Blood Glucose levels but I'm not sure what fat does to it necessarily. I'm wondering how long I could go without insulin? If going on 100% fat diet could sustain me. I'm thinking if I could only eat coconut oil or lard. Something that would be easy to find in a broken down grocery store or something. Of course you could also find insulin but hey, just wondering.

Answer by Touch the Clouds 3796 · Nov 18 '11 at 05:16 AM
So I did a little searching and found a write-up by "Ed" from The Survivalist Blog about the book Diabetes 911. It comes down having at least a 30 day supply and waiting for the Calvary. Beyond 90 days to 6 months the outlook is pretty bleak. There are herbal remedies but they can be difficult to supply adequate dosages and can have very serious side effects including death.
Answer by Annie 2 52 · Nov 18 '11 at 03:50 AM
This seems like a funny/silly question, but I think you are smart to consider your options should something like the zombie-apocalypse actually occur. I just read this book link text about a similar situation. All of the pharmacies ran out of insulin (along with all other meds) and the diabetics eventually died off. The book, along with a concurrent massive power outage here on the West Coast, made me go out and buy outrageous amounts of emergency food and other zombie attack related supplies. You are smart to consider your alternatives to emergency food rations. I wouldn't know where to begin, aside from "go for the fat and protein" so I hope you get some serious advice.
Answer by Nancy 1 47 · Nov 18 '11 at 03:05 AM
Protein will NOT elevate blood glucose levels much if at all. Carbohydrates and sugars will. Fat also helps stabilize blood glucose levels. I have noticed a few Paleo people eat way too many carbohydrates and still have problems with their blood sugar levels. Cut the carbs and get rid of the blood sugar spikes. I eat a low carb version of Paleo because I deserve to be healthy. Cut the carbs and enjoy a healthier life. The American Diabetes Association says we deserve to eat what we want. Well, I deserve a better quality of health more than fulfilling some selfish desire for foods that cause my blood sugar to spike and crash. Why put myself in the position of dangerous health problems or death just to eat something that hurts me. I deserve better. If I have blood sugar problems then I need to eat according to help overcome that problem. Also, if you do eat something that causes blood sugar problems...STOP IT! and when blood sugar problems arise...use protein, not insulin, not carbs or sugars. It takes just about the same amount of time to bring blood sugar back up to good levels with a bite or fatty meat/fish as it does with anything else that would cause the next spike/crash. Meats will not do that. Get a carb counter booklet too and find out which vegetables are safest to eat. And enjoy a bite or two of fruit after having your fatty meats and then the vegetables. You will be healthier for it.

I've heard some of the raw milk advocates claim that there is insulin plus something to get it where it needs to be in the body in raw milk. Apocalypse cow?
Answer by Heidi 1 4108 · Nov 18 '11 at 05:45 PM
I don't think a human can live on an all fat diet. You can go without carbs but not without protein. Your body would struggle to keep you brain and vital organs alive by eventually cannibalizing your skeletal muscles (or other body parts it doesn't consider as important) to fulfill your vital organs' need for protein. Would this self-cannibalization trigger a need for insulin? I'm not sure. I guess the question is would this give you more time to find the needed insulin (or to get help in an survival situation) than other options such as not eating at all or only eating fat and protein.
Answer by Typeonepointfive 56 · Nov 20 '11 at 01:56 PM
The Allen Diet might work for a while, it included very few carbs, some protein and about 70% fat. It was also very low calorie. Many of his patients survived a while, from a few months to a few years. They became malnourished and very thin. You can read Allen's manual, complete with diet sheets online . http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924104225283#page/n0/mode/2up
In a real 'appocalypse scenario; the Jewish ghetto during WW2 in Shanghai, Eva Saxyl and her husband found a better solution. They worked out how to successfully produce insulin from the pancreases of water buffalo http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read/2002/01/01/3495/evas-insulin/
Answer by Eric 12 22650 · Nov 18 '11 at 04:54 AM
Always eat some protein.

v/s Seattle, Pregame
Carolina can't buy a break lately - coming off a heartbreaking last second loss to Atlanta on the road, and prior to that getting humiliated at home against the defending champs, now taking on a second-level traveling team at home that should be a win, but potentially without two of its best defenders.
Neither Chris Gamble nor Jon Beason practiced this week, and while the team has spent time on backing Beason, they just don't have much for Gamble's caliber of cornerback.
While rookie Josh Norman has bounced back from an awful Giants game, he and Captain Munnerlyn aren't enough. Josh Thomas remains, having been last year's nickel, but that's not something to brag about. Starters Golden Tate and Sidney Rice are solid downfield receivers without many holes to their game - but luckily 3rd WR Braylon Edwards isn't as big a deal anymore.
The Seahawks do, however, use both TEs- Zach Miller and Anthony McCoy. Most know that Miller has size, but for a 2nd TE that plays a lot of receiving snaps, McCoy is more a mirror than an H-back at 6'5, 260. They have a lot of size on the field at all times, which can be an issue for a smaller back seven.
But moreso, it's not the passing game that's the big issue, or Carolina's issues on 3rd down, it's getting to 3rd down - the Seahawks are 32nd in passing behind rookie Russell Wilson.
So being the 26th best rush defense against the Seahawks' 6th overall rushing attack is certainly the bigger issue. Marshawn Lynch means that whatever happens to replace the likely missing Beason (who would, at least, get a solid 2 week stretch to help heal, with the bye week) has to be rock solid, and it may mean less playing time for Dwan Edwards, a liability against the run at times. There likely won't be as much reason to drop ends inside, either. Seattle is also 32nd in attempts, and the very small Wilson is the team's second leading rusher. Wilson does go down, though - the Seahawks do have 8 sacks registered against them.
Seattle's defense starts up front, where they invested a very high pick on situational rusher Bruce Irvin to bookend Chris Clemons. The 250 lb Clemons had back to back 11 sack seasons, and already has 5 this year; Irvin has 2.5, and tackle Brandon Mebane has 2. The Seahawks use massive DT Red Bryant situationally outside at times, using the old Ravens trick of using a big man to set the edge in exchange for very little pass rush in base. Measuring that will be big for Carolina, and may have to manipulate that with more 2 TE looks to keep Bryant on the field on earlier downs (Carolina is often indiscriminant about using 1st, 2nd down looks that would bring out nickel defenders). A lack of predictability would be massive, and the Packers found that not having much rush meant unleashing a bunch of small, fast ends on Aaron Rodgers.
The right side battle of Bryant and Carolina RT Byron Bell should be a pretty big run battle. With Irvin in, and moreso for Clemons who plays most snaps, the option issues will be more similar to the Giants', where a very fast to crash DE can be disruptive at times, but Carolina may still be able to use it to their advantage - a bootleg veer option type play, where instead of running it after a fake handoff, Newton reverses to a pass/run option on the crashing end.
For traditional rushing plays, there's no way Irvin has any real shot at setting the edge against Bell, but Mebane and company do shut it down a good bit - the Seahawks aren't slouches at the run - 2nd in the NFL. It's a big week for Newton has the passing offense - that may require some tricks to get around the Seahawks' fantastic pursuit.
Their weaknesses? So far, shutting down backs in the passing game, and the 3rd WR. They also had massive problems on 3rd down against the Rams last week, letting them have 82 yards on 3rd down. So, it seems that to a point you would have to spread the Seahawks - potentially 4 wide with some motion out of formation - and team that with quick reads before the rush can affect things. Getting some yards early in downs can't hurt either, and facing more 3rd and shorts with Carolina's combo of run threats would render a lot of the Seahawk rush ineffective. Contrarily, getting behind early in downs will make 3rd down hellish.
Carolina's offense tends to be better in games without any turnovers - an obvious but still blatant issue that Cam Newton isn't doing a lot of coming from behind late in games - and the Seahawks don't force many. Field position against a good running and defense team is critical, so Carolina may measure itself for a big play or two on 2nd down, being willing to punt and hope for the best. The best way to handle Seattle would be to put on long, sustained drives - which would require more ability running the ball than they've shown most of this year, and a lot more dumpoffs (which hasn't happened much this year, either).
Carolina has to dig deep in this one. Seattle has its obvious strengths and weaknesses, coming across the nation in what would normally be a tough trip. Carolina also has to dig deep to replace two of its bigger leaders and producers defensively, which I'm not sure is likely. This is a winnable game, if the right Carolina team shows, but how they handle those absences might be the biggest story.

Honda gives look at planned Acura sports car
Honda gives a closer look at its next-generation NSX, a revival of the pricey sports car that is to be made in Ohio starting in a couple of years. It's a chance for Acura to sharpen its luxury identity.

A concept version of the Acura NSX is on view at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
DETROIT — An Ohio-made supercar is closer to reality after the first look at the Acura NSX's interior, and an update on the exterior.
Honda revealed the latest version of the sports car to the media at the North American International Auto Show yesterday, about two years ahead of when the model is to go on sale.
"As you can see, this is a real head-turner — in some cases, a whole-body-turner," said Mike Accavitti, Acura's vice president of national marketing.
The automaker is not saying where in Ohio the vehicle will be produced, only that it will have its own assembly line. When asked for more details, John Mendel, Honda's top sales executive in North America, said the line probably will be "not far from our existing base now."
That means the site probably will be in central or western Ohio, an area that has four Honda factories. An announcement is likely within a few months, a spokesman said.
Acura, which is Honda's luxury brand, sold the NSX from 1990 to 2005. The model came with a sticker price of about $90,000.
"There's a lot of passion around the NSX, really based on the original one," said Jeremy Anwyl, CEO of Edmunds.com, a website for auto buyers.
He sees the new version as an opportunity for Acura to clarify its identity.
"One of the difficulties for Acura is being distinctive and standing out in this crowded marketplace," he said. "In the luxury market especially, you need to really stand for something. Customers have to be buying into the personal and brand image."
James Riswick, a writer for Anwyl's website, described this gradual rollout of the NSX as akin to a "striptease."
Last year at the show, Honda showed a very early version of the NSX's exterior, a shell with no interior. This year, the car is much closer to what will go into production, although this is not the production version.
The NSX rides "low, wide and sleek," said Jon Ikeda, Acura's chief designer.
Regarding the car's interior, the company says the design is a "human support cockpit." Ikeda said it is a "real expression of man-machine synergy."
The decision to build this next-generation NSX in Ohio is a sign that Honda's research and development office in the state has grown to the point that it can handle an assignment that is both complex and high-profile, the company has said.
Also yesterday, Honda showed a preliminary version of the redesigned Acura MDX, a sport-utility vehicle that will be made only in Alabama for sale in North America and for export. The production version will go on sale this year.
The Acura brand sold 156,216 vehicles in the United States last year, an increase of 27 percent from the prior year. That was well behind sales by luxury leaders such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota's Lexus. The best-selling Acura was the MDX, with 50,854 units, followed by the Marysville-made TL, with 33,572 units.
Although Acura's Accavitti did not characterize Acura as a segment leader, he did say it is the fastest-growing luxury brand, and he pointed to the new and updated vehicles as reasons to expect growth to continue.
The North American International Auto Show will be open to the public from Saturday through Jan. 27 at the Cobo Center in Detroit. Information is available at www.naias.com.

Rapper TYGA has been ordered to pay more than $16,000 to his accountant after allegedly racking up a huge bill on his credit card.
The Rack City hitmaker was given permission to use Robert Seltzer's account to charge food, hotel, and transportation costs while touring as long as he paid the financier back at the end of each month.
Seltzer alleged Tyga failed to hand the cash back to him and sued the star in an attempt to recoup a total of $13,396 , plus interest.
However, Tyga missed his scheduled court date, so a judge entered a default judgment in Seltzer's favor and ordered the rapper to pay $16,801 .
Editors at TMZ.com report Tyga has paid a portion of the bill.

Actually what he's saying is that it doesn't cover up the adjacent slot so it can be used for another card and isn't wasted. Would think that is pretty self evident.
my problem here is with EK.....how hard would it have been to use lil' lightning bolts instead of circles....wtf
Why don't you guys just go ahead and release a 7990 x2 so everyone on this forum will be completely jaw dropped and satisfied.
Lol yeah I was thinking just that. How about dropping a hint on us so we could know if it is even in production??
Why are a lot of people b1tchin' about this card? There are many other cards for sale by other mfg's that offer the same deal and no one say's squat! In fact they drool and pre-order If you don't like it get something else. MSi is just trying to fill some market and make some $$$. They are a business afterall, and businesses have to make $$$ Besides MSi has a butt load of "budget" gear for thrifty enthusiast too If you were interested enough you would know that you could purchase a single slot header for like $8 and put in on a reference 79xx board with FCWB and be done. Right? But you knew that. Because it is/was so important to you http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...-_HD7950_HD7970_EK-VGA_IO_bracket_HD7970.html http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-vga-i-o-bracket-hd7970.html
So this this is just an EKWB manufactured offering that MSI consulted on designing? And Legit got it right http://www.legitreviews.com/news/13683/ btarunr isn't saying that your beef is with him!
i got my info from your company's Facebook, i actually read the caption.... and tadaa my news post was born
Shit, like your going to see the blocks face anyways Id buy that block in a heart beat just knowing HOW WELL EK BLOCKS WORK! I guess the top tier makers cant make all the geeks happy.... now go git the hell outta here whiners
Thanks for checking my FB post! (the rumour about a "GHz Lightning" factory equipped with a waterblock were in softpedia item which is the one from this thread.
im sure ppl would LIKE a water cooled MSI lightning Extreme card.... maybe something like the 6GB 7970 that Sapphire pushed out with the 1200 MHz core clock? Maybe MSI could do something similar but using that nice shiny EK water block? you know? give ppl a water cooled card that actually benefits from being water cooled by offering performance no air cooled card can match? maybe have it be limited run to boot make it sexy shiny and fast people will fall all over themselves grabbing them.
You know Ray look at in a different light and why some people buy these blocks. Most wont clock the shit outta there gpu's.. Myself I like the benefits of a great cooler and how quiet a system can be
And nothing else. Have a sound card? Well isn't happening. PCI-based SSD, nope. RAID card? Can't. Wireless networkcard? etc..
But you can overclock the shit out of your GPU and have a quiet system, you just need more radiator surface
Because I want to use some of the 1x/4x slots in between the 16x slots. Single slot is a must for me too for overall system choice flexibility. Look at this card again. It cannot go single slot. The second DVI header is in the second slot.
He clearly said REFERENCE, not this MSI Lightning one. REFERENCE 7970 are single slot capable taken from W1zzard TPU review Don't bash him for being right, please

Insurance is not only a fundamental part of most consumers' financial lives, it's also among the most confusing.
Understanding a few of the basics about insurance helps when selecting the correct insurance or when you rethink — and reshop for — the insurance you already have. Here are answers to basic things consumers should remember.
Get life insurance: At its simplest, life insurance is paycheck replacement if you die. In determining how much coverage you need, you're trying to answer two questions: "Who relies on my paycheck and would suffer financial hardship if I died?" and "How much money would they be missing because I'm not working?" A rule of thumb is to get term life insurance equal to about 10 times your annual gross income.
Ditch rental-car insurance: If you already have auto insurance with collision and comprehensive coverage, which refers to noncollision events, such as theft, fire or vandalism, the rental-car insurance could be a waste of money. To best answer whether you need it, make two phone calls - to your auto agent and to the issuer of the credit card you will use to pay for the rental. Both are likely to include some coverage for use of a rental car.
Set the right deductible: The simple answer is to choose auto and home insurance deductibles as high as you can stand. A deductible is the amount of money you have to pay before your insurance kicks in. If you opt for a higher deductible, your premiums will be lower but you'll have bigger out-of-pocket expenses if you have a claim. For example, common advice is to increase your auto insurance deductible from $500 to $1,000, which could mean a 25 percent savings on premiums.
Term life insurance: In short, buy term life insurance and only buy pricey permanent insurance - whole life, universal life and variable life - if you fully understand the policy, its costs, its rate of return and exactly why you need it instead of term life insurance. By contrast, term life insurance is relatively easy to understand. It pays your beneficiaries a lump sum if you die during the term, typically 10, 20 or 30 years. There's no investment component.
Renters insurance: Renters insurance typically covers your personal belongings against damage and theft and provides some liability coverage if someone is injured in your apartment and sues you.
Children's life insurance: Not only is the probability of a child dying remote, but your household doesn't rely on a child's income and would not suffer financially because a child died - outside of funeral and burial expenses. You could consider a small policy to reimburse yourself for funeral expenses, but get life insurance on the family's breadwinners as a higher priority.

Is it just me or is the link to the shponglevision event not working? The link appears to be dead.
...Why oh why?
I have one dreadlock in honour of Shiva
I think it all start at 20:30 Scandinavian time. Not 100% sure, possibly 19:30. Can you see the Quick Time logo when you go to the http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/whats-on/productions/shpongle-2016 ?
It seems to work here but I can't see any footage, only weird sounds.. maybe it's a soundcheck?? I think it all should start in 30min
it all works now 22;13 GMT +2…. Benji set… younger brother tunes .. amazing
Works great here in midwest usa… :D Lets hope my wireless internet holds up during recording….
btw, all i see is a giant 'eyeball' made of lasers… I can't see anyone on stage, I sincerely hope they change that when Shpongle starts in 40 minutes…
=My Music=
it all starts wooo !!
What are you using for recording ? Im trying HiDownload (rtsp/QT), and got more than 100megs already. But have no idea, what to open the resulting file once the gig is over .
No issue lasts but no log is lost
The vocals are extremely distorted… :( It's a shame, because this is a new song and it sounds beautiful…
By the way, that was an EPIC opening track! :shock: :o :shock:
tom, I'm just using a program called Freecorder.
Hi Cloudwalker. Any chance your audio recording will be available somewhere, somewhen ?
Probably not. Would seem a bit unfair, considering that they will be releasing a dvd… Audio quality isn't all that great. I just want the new tracks to put on my ipod.
Me too. But understand. I just hope i will be able to extract some meaningful data from my recording .
We're like the nerdy kids that didn't get invited to the popular kid's birthday party…
ahahahahha, good comparison. Except the fact that im almost 30old fat guy, married with children (2) .
lol yeah we are :( The vocals are really distorted through shpongle-vision - dissapointing :( But still… I'd rather watch it distorted than nothing at all
wish the audio/video was better…but to almost feel like im there and to hear these amazing tracks live def makes my day awesome, and the lovley girls on stage always makes a show that much better, love it and I hope they play behind closed eyelids one of my favs!!
yeah its my fave too… but right now theres no sound….... and raja ram and simon said happy halloween blah blah is that it?? it cant be!!!

Adding Insulation
Can you add new insulation to old wall insulation if there are no holes in the old insulation?
Jan 30, 2013, 10:45 AM
I'm not sure I understand your question. Are the walls open to allow access? What is the existing insulation? How old is old?
You don't want to compress the insulation more than the manufacturer recommends. So putting 6" insulation in a 3.5" wall cavity won't get you more R-value, it will actually get you less. Doubling up vapor barrier is a bad idea, so if the existing insulation has a craft paper face or foil face you need to use unfaced insulation if you're putting the new behind the old or remove the craft paper facing if you're putting it on top of the old. But again, you don't want to compress the insulation more than the specs say.
General Disclaimer

If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Jan 30, 2013, 11:10 AM
The bottom part of the wall is open so I could cut the old insulation and add newer insulation for that space. I have no idea of the R value as the house was built in 1979 and I just bought. I am trying to make a crawle space better insulated and have R19 faced insulation for the walls that currently dont have any insulation.
I was needing to know if I can just put the R19 over the old (no vapor barrier)or did I need to cut the old and insert the new?
Jan 30, 2013, 12:08 PM
R-19 can only be used in walls made with 2x6, the material is 6-1/4 inch thick per the Depot website. you would have R-13 or R-15 for a 2x4 wall. jamming R-19 in there would kill the insulating value down to something laughable like R-5 because the air pockets in insulation are what does the job.
if you have open gaps, you certainly can trim things up and insert new insulation. but you will still have gaps from old batt to new batt. you need to install insulation in an unbroken batt to have it perform to standards and keep out drafting around the material.
as I understand your circumstance, you want to put a batt over an existing one, perhaps overlapping it. this is not efficient. the best way to do this is pull down the old stuff, and pull up a continuous new strip of insulation. this reinstallation could be done by cutting a narrow strip of wallboard off at the top, then used by some means like a strip of plastic duct-taped to the sleeve of the new insulation to pull it up the wall cavity, and pushed tight to the top of it. then yank off the helper plastic and use it in the next cavity.

In early December, when late arriving snow delayed the opening of the Summit at Snoqualmie and White Pass, ski area officials weren't sure how long it would take to recover.
Not long, as it turns out.
Entering the final weekend of what they consider their holiday period, marketing directors at both ski areas said the season already is surpassing 2011-12.
"We're very stoked with what we are seeing," said Guy Lawrence of the Summit at Snoqualmie.
The Summit saw a 29 percent increase in visitors compared with last year's holiday. This helped the ski area overcome a Dec. 7 opening, 18 days later than last season.
"It's been great for us," said Kathleen Goyette of White Pass.
The ski area has seen an increase in visitors of 5 percent to 15 percent each day over the past three weeks, she said. This helped offset opening Dec. 7, five days later than usual.
Credit for the ideal holiday ski season goes to more than the weather, although an above average snowpack and sunny skies deserve their share of recognition.
"The way school breaks fell this year was just great," Goyette said.
Typically, Goyette said, school holiday breaks result in a two-week spike in business. This year, with some school districts breaking before Christmas week and others not returning until Jan. 7, the period of increased visitation was closer to three weeks, she said.
"And we never really got overcrowded, which is nice, too," Goyette said. "It's just been steadily good."
The diversity of school breaks was good for business at Crystal Mountain as well, marketing director Tiana Enger said.
While Crystal recently stopped releasing monthly visitation numbers, Enger said its holiday visitation was higher than last year and above average for the third year in row.
Before the season began forecasters predicted a mild El Niño winter (usually warmer and drier than normal) after two consecutive La Niña winters (usually above average snow fall). Still, ski area officials said they weren't nervous.
"I've learned it doesn't matter what I expect," Lawrence said. "The weather does what it does and we get what we get."
And what ski areas got is a better December than last year. All six ski areas in Washington's Cascade Mountains had a snowpack at least 118 percent of normal when the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center last collected data on Tuesday.
"It has been exceptional," said Scott Ryan, a West Seattle resident who has skied the Summit five times since Christmas with his 7-year-old son, Brennan. "It snowed early in the break, and it has stayed so cold the snow has been really good. The groomers have been great the last few days."
Ryan said he skied Alpental's backcountry Dec. 18 and then Park City, Utah, on Dec. 19.
"The snow at Alpental was better and deeper and lighter," Ryan said.
Other popular Western Washington snow recreation areas also have more snow than normal.
Hurricane Ridge at Olympic National Park has 97 inches (167 percent of normal), beating its record of 91 inches set in 2007. Paradise at Mount Rainier National Park is 138 percent of normal with 126 inches.
Of the ski areas, Mount Baker has the deepest snowpack at 130 inches, 146 percent of normal.
Crystal was the farthest above normal with a depth of 67 inches, 156 percent of normal.
"It's a good surprise," said Crystal's Enger. "But it's not the first time we've been surprised (by the weather). We take it as it comes. … Right now we are thankful."
It's impossible to predict how the season will play out for skiers and snowboarders, said Kenny Kramer, director of the Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center.
"We could see some rain next week," he said. "So take advantage of it while you can."
The National Weather Service is predicting snow for Snoqualmie Pass today, with a chance of rain starting Sunday night.
Kramer said avalanche risk is low. However, conditions are ripe for the formation of hoarfrost – a layer of frost growing on the snow – that could increase the chance of avalanches once it's covered by fresh snow.
Before their trips, backcountry travelers should check the avalanche center's forecast at NWAC.us or via a smartphone app. Kramer said the center eliminated its avalanche forecast hotline this winter because so few people called.
Even the prediction of blue bird days giving way to more precipitation isn't all bad for ski areas Lawrence said.
"It will be nice to freshen up an already good snowpack," he said. "… We haven't had a bad day yet."

Aug 1 - The Commodity Credit Corporation has announced the results of additional action taken on July 26, 2013, to reduce the domestic sugar oversupply and reduce the cost of the CCC Sugar Loan Program. The second sugar exchange effort in the past two months reduced the sugar oversupply and further minimized the severity of sugar loan forfeiture to CCC by 46,559 metric tons by retiring credits under the Refined Sugar Re-Export Program. This action cost CCC $6.9 million, but averted an expected $19.2 million in loan forfeiture costs, saving an estimated $12.3 million.
CCC used the $6.9 million to purchase 15,504 metric tons of sugar under the Cost Reduction Options of the 1985 Farm Bill, which authorizes CCC to purchase surplus program crops if the purchase results in expected program savings. The purchased sugar was exchanged for sugar import access generated by the Refined Sugar Re-Export Program at an average ratio of 3 tons of import access per ton of CCC sugar. Additional information on this action can be found online: www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area=home&subject=coop&topic=pas-sa.
CCC is monitoring the market on an on-going basis and will take action as necessary to reduce the cost of the Sugar Program. Sugar Program costs are expected to increase in 2013 due to record crops in North America and world prices that no longer support U.S. prices at the Sugar Program support level.
