A three-run seventh inning rally wasn't enough to overcome a rough outing by Justin Masterson, as the Indians fell to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. Masterson started off strong, but fell apart in the sixth inning and was pulled after just 76 pitches. He struck out four, walked three and gave up six hits, including a fifth inning home run to Juan Francisco. Meanwhile, the Tribe put together just four hits and two walks against Toronto starter R.A. Dickey and his knuckleball, although he did allow four runs (two earned). The Indians scored first, on an RBI single by Nick Swisher in the third inning, but the Jays managed to quickly grab the lead and hang on to it.
Key Innings
Bottom of the 6th, Indians trail 2-1
After walking Melky Cabrera to lead off the inning, Masterson allowed a single to Jose Bautista on a play that should have been made by third baseman Carlos Santana. It didn't count as an error, but it gave the Jays an extra baserunner, and they took advantage of it. Adam Lind doubled to score both runners. After striking out Edwin Encarnacion, Masterson gave up a run-scoring double to Francisco, and was quickly replaced by Josh Outman.
Top of the 7th, Indians trail 5-1
Dickey, who had been nearly unhittable through six innings, wasn't able to shut down the Indians after his offense handed him a four-run lead. Asdrubal Cabrera led off with a single, and David Murphy reached on the fielding error by Brett Lawrie. After walking Yan Gomes to load the bases with no outs, Dickey hit Lonnie Chisenhall with a pitch, allowing a run to score. He was relieved by Aaron Loup, who gave up a single to Michael Bourn and a sacrifice fly to Nick Swisher, but managed to escape with the lead.
Top of the 8th, Indians trail 5-4
It seemed like the Indians might rally in the eighth inning, but Melky Cabrera had other ideas. Reliever Brett Cecil gave up a leadoff single to Santana, who then advanced to second on a passed ball. With two outs, Gomes hit a single to left field, and Santana was waved home. Cabrera scooped up the ball and fired it in to the plate, where catcher Josh Thole applied the tag in time. There was some controversy over whether Thole had blocked the plate, but the play was never reviewed.
The Positives
John Axford pitched a scoreless inning, throwing eight of his ten pitches for strikes. The bullpen as a whole pitched 2 2/3 innings and did not allow a hit, although Marc Rzepczynski did walk a batter. The turmoil over the closer situation does not seem to have made much of an impact on the Tribe's relievers.
The Negatives
This is the second outing in a row where Masterson has struggled late in the game. In fact, his last start ended roughly the same way: a walk, a single and a double, and a trip to the dugout before the inning was over. Although he pitches extremely well during the first few innings, he's either having trouble the third time through the lineup, or he is becoming fatigued during the later part of his outings. Either way, it could be a concern for the Indians if it becomes a pattern.
Check It Out
– The Blue Jays lead the American League in home runs, with 53. Six of those belong to Juan Francisco — who only has 75 at-bats this season. The Jays need his bat in the lineup, and that's why third baseman Brett Lawrie is spending some time at second base.
– During Tuesday's game, the Indians announced that catcher George Kottaras has cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Triple-A Columbus.
– In more Clippers news, Trevor Bauer struggled for the first time this season on Tuesday night. In 5 2/3 innings against the Rochester Red Wings, he allowed six runs on three walk and nine hits, including four home runs in one inning.

On Apartments Expensive
After lots of discussion, my wife and I came to the decision that once she's done with her fellowship in NYC we'll be moving elsewhere. I was born in Queens and I loved the time I spent in Manhattan, but raising a family here is just too hard. With the hundreds of thousands of dollars we'll be saving by buying elsewhere, we can afford to parachute our unborn kids in to the city for cultural immersion.
On Why Won't Anybody Say That "Noah" Is Terrible?
@antarctica starts here Not relevant to the article, but I was delighted by Grand Budapest Hotel. I didn't enjoy Moonrise Kingdom or Darjeeling Limited, and I loved the experience at laughing out loud to one of his movies again.

@Abe Sauer All is forgiven. I feel for the parents that use that tool to push their kids towards an affordable school and then end up with sticker shock!
On 2014 March Madne$$: The School Tuitions Of The NCAA Bracket
At least one school is wrong - UMass Amherst, while a state school, is not <$2k a year. According to their own site, it's ~$23k for in-state students, and still $13k even if we're just talking tuition.
This whole bracket is thrown in to question!
On Making The Grade
Rice is to blame for the worst stomach bug I ever had. Letting rice cool and reheating it makes it very welcoming to some nasty bacteria, and I don't blame inspectors for dinging restaurants on that point.
On Ramen Enjoyed

I am in complete agreement with a letter praising Kroger's decision to drop its supplier Iowa Select Farms ("Kroger did right thing dropping supplier"), except for one item. The letter writer's pot shots at federal and state regulators for failing to rein in Iowa Select Farms' animal abuse are unjustified. Given the current political atmosphere, […]

In reading the article and watching the viral video of the "animal abuse," I was reminded of the many "animal atrocities" I witnessed growing up on a small farm. Kroger very well may have done "the right thing" in cutting ties with their supplier, but they might be hard pressed to find another not following […]

When some people hear the term animal rights, they think it means animals should have the same rights as humans, be allowed to run free and to vote. Of course, that's ridiculous. It simply means that all domesticated animals should have the right to food, shelter and water, should not be caged, chained or tied-up […]

About Platt Johnson
I grew up in the home you are viewing and spent my summers there until I graduated from college. The home was purchased by my father the year I was born and was used by him and my mother until 2008.
Prior to managing this property I owned and ran Island Sports from 1974 until 2007 with my wife Nancy. I am now a Realtor in Southern Florida with Corcoran Group.
It is quite a home and I am proud to be able to share it with you.
Platt Johnson purchased this house in 1955
Why Platt Johnson chose Edgartown
I suppose this is simply fate. Back in 1955 my parents purchased the Captain Morse House and I then spent every summer there until I moved to Newport Rhode Island in 1979. I continued to visit my parents each summer until they passed away. I now spend as much time as I can on island attending to the house and maintaining it. When it was built in 1840 it was perhaps the best home in Edgartown. Now movie stars and celebrities have built larger homes but non with the style and class of the Captain Morse House. Our guests aren't clients so much as they are friends assisting us in maintaining the property and keeping it in our family for future generations.
What makes this house unique
A perfect location. You are right up from the harbor and close to downtown without being in the crowds of summer visitors. I love walking down Morse Street to the boatyard each morning and evening to see what's happening on the waterfront and to talk to the boaters and fisherman.
The restaurants and shops are all an easy walk away but it is the waterfront that is the best part of living at the Captain Morse House. After all - it is a whaling Captain's home

Coda Automotive, known for their upcoming sedan electric vehicle, has expanded their business by announcing a new venture called Coda Energy. The spinoff business unit will specialize in building stationary energy storage systems.
All the knowledge gained by Coda while designing and developing lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles has lead them directly into the grid storage energy world, which has become quite common amongst battery manufacturers. Both A123 Systems and BYD have been known to design systems for both industries, helping to curb production costs while bringing scalability to their operations. Nissan and General Motors have also announced their intentions to repurpose used EV batteries for grid storage.
Coda Automotive is expected to have their sedan EV on the market sometime soon in California, offering a 150-mile range vehicle for under $40,000 and a 125-mile range vehicle for around $37,250 – both prices before a $7,500 federal tax credit and state incentives. Either way, we are continually impressed by the number of projects that are out there, to store energy.

Long before string theory captured physicists' imaginations, Scottish scientists William Thomson and Peter Guthrie Tait developed their own "theory of everything." In 1867, after watching Tait perform experiments with smoke rings made of poisonous gases, Thomson concluded that the basic elements of matter were composed of knotted tubes of ether. Tait would even claim that this "vortex-atom theory" could help prove the existence of an afterlife. Their conclusions may have been wrong, but their efforts led to the birth of knot theory and the first catalog of knots, which today has been extended to include more than 1.7 million entries. Knot theory is now one of the most active areas of mathematics, and the search for new applications continues.

I have 1.5/1.0 DSL service with Qwest, it has been working fine for many years until recently. I have the Actiontec GT701 modem and the WAN stats show that it has retrained 50+ times in the last 37 hours.SNR is 23/6Atten is 35/24As you an see the upstream SNR is on the edge for my provisioning and the modem reports that the upstream connection varies between 1024 and ~860 during all this retraining. The downstream connection rate stays steady at 1.5. As you can imagine, with all this retraining, attempts at streaming media or lengthy downloads from the Net are sketchy.I disconnected all the phones/filters in the house and ran a new cord from wall outlet to modem and the SNR did not change. Also flashed modem to latest firmware. I called out Qwest and they tell me the line looks OK from the outside of house to CO. The tech told me the SNR on the upstream side was 8 which would mean that I have a 2dB loss in house wiring.I'm wondering if this is normal loss in the house wiring and if a homerun would be worth trying? Also, why would there be such a disparity in upstream and downstream SNR even from the outside of the house to the CO?Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.Ron
6 is really low. ur atten is good though.ADSL Noise Margin and Attenuation NumbersWhat do the ADSL Noise Margin and Attenuation Numbers mean? From »mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=46156 :Noise Margin (AKA Signal to Noise Margin or Signal to Noise Ratio)Relative strength of the DSL signal to Noise ratio. The higher the number the better for this measurement. In some instances interleaving can help raise the noise margin to an acceptable level.6dB or below is bad and will experience no synch or intermittent synch problems7dB-10dB is fair but does not leave much room for variances in conditions11dB-20dB is good with little or no synch problems* (but see note below)20dB-28dB is excellent29dB or above is outstanding* Note that there may be short term bursts of noise that may drop the margin, but due to the sampling time of the management utility in your modem, will not show up in the figures.Line AttenuationMeasure of how much the signal has degraded between the DSLAM and the modem. This is largely a function of the distance from the exchange. The lower the dB the better for this measurement.20dB and below is outstanding20dB-30dB is excellent30dB-40dB is very good40dB-50dB is good50dB-60dB is poor and may experience connectivity issues60dB or above is bad and will experience connectivity issuesDSL Rate ***/tx/rx/RateThe actual service data rate that your ISP has provisioned.Attainable Line RateThis is the maximum rate at which your modem can connect to the DSLAM if there was no service provisioning limiting the bandwidth. The higher the number the better.OccupancyOccupancy is the percentage of line capacity used. Each DSL line is capable of a certain maximum speed or "capacity" dependant on line distance and other varying factors. The occupancy is an expression of your current sync rate setting over your maximum capacity. There are occupancy rates for both upload and download. The lower the figure, the better. Because of error correction and other factors in the DSL protocols, a margin is required so that a connection can be maintained under varying line conditions. If the occupancy approaches 100%, any interference can cause the ADSL sync to be lost. A useful measurement to monitor when sync problems occur. [AFAIK the billion SNMP utility does not give a direct measurement of occupancy :-( ]
Thank you for your reply and yes, I am aware of what the numbers mean. However, I'm still unsure about why there would be such a difference between the upstream and downstream SNR and also wondering if 2dB loss in SNR is typical for a home.Thanks,Ron
2 db loss is actually not bad. you should be getting around 15 db at the ont. and around 13 at your jacks (maybe even higher).since your getting such a low number outside the house i would say its a qwest problem. with the really good attenuation numbers i would say your decently close to the dslam.try doing an online chat with support. i found it to be way less frustrating. and you can post numbers ect..hope that helped
Hey, u said it has been working for years.. Nothings changed, eh? So, tell me, you still have the same modem allt his time? If nothign has changed, your ol' modem probably just wore out. Buy a new one.
I suppose it could be the modem but it is only 3 years old, how long do the Actiontec's normally last?Ron
in have the same modem. about 5-6 years old. i also have the latest firmware.

Salmon as Biogeomorphic Agents in Gravel Bed Rivers: The Effect of Fish on Sediment Mobility and Spawning Habitat
Spawning salmon have been known to affect streambed texture, influence sediment transport, and play an important geomorphological
role in streams and rivers. We examined the impact of salmon and floods on channel morphology, bed material dispersion and
yield, bed surface texture and stability, fine-sediment dynamics, and nutrient retention of small gravel bed streams. Repeated
channel surveys indicate that salmonids change postflood channel morphology, creating a hummocky bed surface through several
cycles of redd creation. In streams with dense populations of sockeye salmon, the whole surface of spawning reaches may be
modified, bars are excavated, and pools are filled. Analyses of coarse and fine sediment show that salmon increase sediment
mobility by disturbing fine materials and preventing the development of an armored bed surface. Carbon-nitrogen ratios of
the suspended sediment at the field sites and the gravel stored sediment in the flume indicate that salmon carcasses are the
primary source of nitrogen to these systems. Further, the data suggest that the fine-grain bed sediments, in particular, are
good retainers of salmon organic matter and thus function as nutrient stores for subsequent salmon generations. The study
shows a sharp increase in the biochemical oxygen demand when salmon decay products combine with fine sediment and settle to
the gravel bed; thus, the influx of nutrients and reworked gravel may aid in sustaining the salmon stocks and other biotic
activity. Consequently, bed excavation by salmon plays a major geomorphic role in streams and improves the overall health
of the ecosystem.

Current Records: Oklahoma City Thunder (49-18), Cleveland Cavaliers (26-42)
Last time they met: Cleveland Cavaliers (114) defeated Oklahoma City Thunder (104)
Pre-game Notes:
In one of the more disappointing losses in their post All Star slump, the Oklahoma City Thunder dropped their last meeting against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It will be a different game altogether this time around though as Russell Westbrook is getting back to his best and the Cavs are without the services of their franchise star Kyrie Irving due to a biceps injury.
The Cavs nearly caused an upset against the Miami Heat, narrowly falling short but their performance along with the last time they faced the Thunder will give them hope. The Thunder look like they have things together but split their last games against the Dallas Mavericks (loss) and the ChicagoBulls (win).
If the Thunder want to prove they are contenders and to keep the pressure on the Western Conference leading San Antonio Spurs, they need to get this win and do it convincingly. They need to ensure they stay defensively focused and don't allow the Cavs to get anything going, while forcing turnovers and getting out in transition.
Key Matchups:
Kevin Durant vs Luol Deng
This is the marquee matchup of the game with the best scorer in the game going against a talented defensive and All Star swingman. Rarely does Durant not bring his "A" game and when he is on song he is very hard to stop. Deng will be flat out trying to stem KD's influence and will also need to try and score the basketball himself and make up for the lack of output due to Irving's absence. This is a must watch.
Russell Westbrook vs Jarrett Jack
It is not as enticing as it would have been with Irving in the lineup, but it will be yet another good chance to watch Westbrook in action. He didn't play against the Mavericks and the Thunder lost, but he was back in the lineup for the Bulls game and the Thunder won. While it is not completely accurate to say "as Westbrook goes, so do the Thunder" – it does have some merit and we will be watching Russ with a keen eye to see what he can produce.
Steve Adams vs Spencer Hawes
One of the biggest reasons the Cavs were able to cool off the Thunder in the last encounter was Spencer Hawes. His ability to space the floor with his jump shooting and his three point range means you can't just stay at home in the paint. Adams will need to bring his focus and footwork because Hawes is very fundamentally sound. Rebounding is a key to this game and Adams will be asked to reel in a number of boards while keeping Hawes from allowing the Cavs extra possessions.
The Thunder have done a number of things well and one of them is correct the errors of previous games. They did it against the Los Angeles Lakers and they should do it again against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Without Kyrie the Cavs are going to struggle and although they pushed the Miami Heat, facing a near full-strength Thunder is another challenge altogether. Cleveland at home always give it their best and they can't be written off, but the Thunder should get win number 50. Thunder 109, Cavaliers 89.

Hacky workaround for keyboard focus problems with stumpwm (e.g. with Java apps)
As a horrible workaround, since there are some apps I occasionally use like the Dell BMC remote console Java app, I run:
- Xephyr as a nested X server :
Xephyr :1
- Set the
DISPLAYvariable to point at this in a single xterm :
export DISPLAY=:1.0
- Run metacity in this terminal to get the GNOME window manager on that display :
metacity &
- Now run the problematic app. E.g.
javasw jviewer.jnlp
- Enjoy a functioning keyboard in your java app! Woo :)

puppet / hiera yaml and indentation gotcha
I recently switched to using the official puppetlabs/apache module rather than the cobbled-together one I made yonks ago and have had limping along. Then I was beating my head against my hiera configs in Puppet for a while, wondering why my additions were being ignored. A vhost with rewrites, created in a manifest file was working just fine, so it seemed likely that i was doing something wrong rather than a bug in the module.
Of course, it was because I'd laid something out incorrectly in my hiera data structure…
docroot: '/var/www/something'
- Test rewrite:
rewrite_rule: [ '/somewhere http://other.example.org/somewhere' ]
- Test rewrite2:
rewrite_cond: [ '%{QUERY_STRING} ^var=val$' ]
rewrite_rule: [ '/somewhere2 http://other.example.org/somewhere2' ]
..is not the same as this:
docroot: '/var/www/something'
- Test rewrite:
rewrite_rule: [ '/somewhere http://other.example.org/somewhere' ]
- Test rewrite2:
rewrite_cond: [ '%{QUERY_STRING} ^var=val$' ]
rewrite_rule: [ '/somewhere2 http://other.example.org/somewhere2' ]
The former has an additional (and unwanted) extra layer of hash-ness in the generated rewrites data structure. Of course, instead of validating this the module and template just ignore it. Thankfully, the command-line 'hiera' tool came to the rescue:
hiera --hash site::apache::vhosts fqdn=host.example.org
["/somewhere http://other.example.org/somewhere"]},
["/somewhere2 http://other.example.org/somewhere2"],
"rewrite_cond"=>["%{QUERY_STRING} ^var=val$"]},
At least in this format it's obvious how nested the hiera-produced data has become. This is the correct format — the incorrect one had an extra layer of curly braces which made it clearer (at least to me!) how the data was laid out.
Still can't say I'm a fan of significant indentation, but the worst thing here is the silent breakage — there definitely needs to be more validation that the structure is of the expected form :/

Generate bogus MAC according to IP address
To produce a MAC address from an IP address, to ensure uniqueness when adding to DHCP settings, say:
alias p=printf
function genmac {
p 20;p ':%02X' 0 ${1//./ }
Now use
genmac 127.0.0.1 and you'll have a MAC address you can use in your configs without fear of clashes. Lovely :D

Making a bootable USB stick from a Windows DVD iso
In my attempts to turn a backup iso of a Dell OEM Windows DVD into a bootable USB stick (to reinstall a Dell desktop machine), I found many and varied accounts of how to achieve this.
There are loads of tools to help with this — winusb, unetbootin and so on, but I couldn't get them to work.
However, it turns out that for a simple single boot image USB stick (which was all I wanted at the time) all you need is:
- A single FAT32 or NTFS partition
- The contents of the Windows DVD copied onto that partition
- A Windows MBR on the USB stick
…and it Just Works{tm}.
So it should be as simple as:
- Ensure the usb stick is unmounted — probably using
pumount /dev/sd<something>
fdisk /dev/sdx(or whatever device the usb stick has shown up as), remove all existing partitions and create a single partition set as NTFS or FAT32 (LBA)
- Mount this somewhere with
mount /dev/sdx1 /media/usb, or eject and re-insert the stick
- Copy the contents of the iso onto the USB stick — you can either extract the contents using
7z x backup.isoor by loopback mounting the iso with
mount -o ro,loop backup.iso /media/loopand then copying
- Use ms-sys to put a standard windows MBR on the USB stick
- And that's it! (The only tool required is ms-sys, but that should be packaged by your distro or it's trivial to build from sources)
The same should also be true to creating such a bootable USB stick from Windows, just using
fdisk /mbr on the usb device in place of ms-sys.
(The available tools are probably a better bet if you want to have a multi-boot stick and a menu to pick what to boot, but this will do for a simple single-use stick)

Debian unstable stumpwm "cannot find component" errors
It seems that there is a bug with the current Debian unstable asdf which causes Lisp compilers to fail to find the installed components if the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable is not set. This variable is set if you use Gnome, but when not set asdf fails to use a default setting for where to look for systems or source and so doesn't find anything at all!
This has been reported as Debian bug 723977 and a fix is in testing so hopefully it will be updated soon.
As a workaround, you can add the following to a file which is included by the common-lisp-controller, such as
/home/username/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d/system.conf (anything in the
~/.config/common-lisp/source-registry.conf.d directory is included, so you can have multiple separate files in here), containing:
(:tree "/usr/share/common-lisp/source/")
..and this will allow all lisp compilers/interpreters to find the installed packages. It used to be that symlinks were required from
/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/ into the individual package directories, but this has been deprecated in favour of it searching the source tree.
This took me a while to find, so I thought it would be good to share this for others to find and save some time and pain :)

DVD ripping part 2 — ddrescue, "dvdbackup —mirror" and "dvdbackup —feature"
So I've got things working a bit better now. There have still been one or two that haven't ripped using one of these three methods, but this covers 99% of my DVDs that I want to play with MythTV:
Method 1 : ddrescue
ddrescue -n -b 2048 /dev/sr0 dvdtitle.iso dvdtitle.log
When this works you might get one or two error sectors, but most of the disc will rip without error. These errors are intentionally added as part of the copy-protection. This gives a DVD iso image which mythvideo is happy to play.
Method 2 : dvdbackup —mirror
This produces a VIDEO_TS folder which, again, mythvideo is happy to play. Sometimes this doesn't work, or produces a damaged rip which is several times the size of the real DVD. If it's bigger than about 10GB then this probably won't play, so try method 3:
Method 3 : dvdbackup —feature
This produces a VIDEO_TS folder, but often mythvideo won't play it. mplayer is generally happy to play this.
All in all, still a bit of a pain but at least I can play most of the DVDs I own now!

Blog moved since Posterous is closing soon to "concentrate on Twitter"… Hopefully the RSS feed will continue working (need to check on this!)
http://Justmigrate.com was a big help to move the posts across but the (very few) comments can't be migrated on this way, so apologies to both commenters when on the previous host!

The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
Perl version
I should mention that this works for 10.4. I haven't upgraded yet, just about backed up and ready to go. So the 10.5 dictionary may be in a different place and may be a different format.
The command switches are documented in "man perlrun".
-n makes perl read the input file in a while loop until the file is read completely.
-e indicates the next argument is a script.
The regex looks for a pattern like
which indicates an entry in the dictionary. The actual entry word is between the last 2 double quotes which is caught by the brackets and referenced by the $1 in the while loop. The /g modifier at the end of the regex allows the while loop to loop through the file. The $a is needed to retain the "word" through another regex. The backslash-b's makes the regex the equivalent of -w.
Is that clear? Perl is a strange language.
Perl version
The dictionary indeed has a slightly different name in 10.5 but I corrected that already.

Watch as this Duke ball boy becomes Duke ball man before our eyes. The look of sheer terror on his face as he tries to play it off afterwards is PRICELESS.
This Duke Fan Is The Reason You Can't Stand Duke
The No. 3 Duke Blue Devils defeated Virginia Tech Tuesday night, 85-57. Fans at Cameron Indoor were treated to a pretty competitive game in the first half, but as you can tell, it got out of hand quickly for the Hokies. But while things were close, this particular fan wasn't having any of it. You only live once, and this fan needs Duke to squeeze in as many victories as they can.
A Few Thoughts On The Duke Student Section "How's Your Grandma?" (Alleged) Chant Controversy
Duke beat N.C. State last night 98-85, avenging an earlier loss. Duke's student section was spirited, as it normally is. In a less normal development, however, some accusations were levied at the student section during and after the game – accusations that, if true, would brand the student section less as "spirited" and more as "terrible." But was the outcry justified?
Coach K Wrote This Letter To Michael Jordan After Learning He Wouldn't Be Attending Duke
The 1980-81 season was Mike Krzyzewski's first as the head coach of the Duke men's basketball team. The little-known coach had spent the five previous seasons at Army and Tobacco Road was squarely in the hands of already legendary UNC coach Dean Smith. Coach K has since cemented his reputation as one of the greatest coaches in NCAA history, but had to do it without one Michael Jordan, to whom he wrote this letter after Jordan opted for Smith, Carolina and the Tar Heels.
What The Hell Happened Last Night: The Wizards Are Finally Winners, And Duke Is Really Good (Ugh)
Another basketball-heavy evening to look back upon. Let's get to it, so you might drink from the glorious fountain of (sports news) knowledge.
What The Hell Happened Last Night: Lots Of Basketball, Not Much Else
It's basketball season. And soon enough, it's going to be basketball-and-nothing-else season, so you best get used to these morning-after roundups looking like this. Not a basketball fan? Cherish that football you have left, is all I can say. Because today, we're going all hoops all the time. Let's get this train rollin'.
11 Of The Toughest Ways To Lose A Game
Sometimes, we ask ourselves why we continue to watch sports after seeing these gut-wrenching endings.
After Losing To UNC, Duke's Student Government Did The Most Duke Thing Of All Time
Currently, UNC-Duke bragging rights belong with UNC after the Tar Heels dispatched the Blue Devils 88-70 on Saturday. And UNC's student government took full advantage of these bragging rights… maybe a little too much.

e the classroom. So after, we talked about color, shape and some of the technical issues involved, the next class was devoted to drawing a lobster from life. Thankfully, our local Loblaws market is open 24 hours, and I was able to convince a clerk to fish out a sleepy lobster for class observation. I was cautioned to not remove the elastic bands on both claws, as an encounter with them would prove most unforgiving. When the 8 a.m. class convened, students were startled, shocked and mildly amused that "Oscar" the lobster was making an appearance. In time, even the George chose to paint his crustacean with watered-down acrylic, which was later sprayed with varnish to achieve the desired effect. The kids did a great job sketching the lobster. 24 Lara concentrates on sketching Oscar. f e b r u a r y 2 0 1 4 • 81 y e a r s x www.ar tsandactivities.com > ach year, I tr y to arrive at innovative, challenging ceramic exercises that will excite my students and have a bit of humor and fun attached to the act.

Kenmore sewing machine frozen

Sears Kenmore sewing machine model 158 14100. Hand wheel and clutch are frozen.
Be the first to comment
It sewed for over an hour - no problem, then froze up.
I had it cleaned an oil about a year ago but have not used it much since. When I got it back, the clutch and hand wheel did not move independently (I seem to recall they did before, for the purpose of filling bobbins)
Could they have missed some spots that needed oil or could they have tightened the wheels too much?
What could be wrong?
Thank you very much!

Hot Stove: Nats agree with Haren
Right-hander joins loaded Washington staff
Published: Dec 04, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
The best team in baseball just got better for 2013.
According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, the Nationals and Dan Haren have agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract, pending a physical. Assuming Haren, who has dealt with recent hip and back injuries, passes the physical, he'll join a strong rotation that already includes Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, Jordan Zimmermann and Ross Detwiler.
If you dig deep into Haren's career stats, you'll find that he has actually been better against the American League (3.55 ERA, 1.16 WHIP) than the NL (3.82/1.21) in his career, and that his worst divisional splits have come against the NL East (4.42/1.23). However, fantasy baseball owners shouldn't over-think this move for Haren.
He goes to another pitcher-friendly ballpark -- the Nationals ranked eighth in home ERA (3.29) last season while Nationals Park ranked 10th in the league with a 3.73 ballpark ERA -- and getting away from the AL mashers is a good thing for Haren, no matter what his splits say. Plus, he'll be backed by another strong lineup; the Nats ranked 10th in runs (731) last season, just 36 runs behind the fourth-place Angels.
The stars are aligned for a bounce-back season from Haren, who has ace potential. He won't be asked to shoulder the burden of being his team's No. 1, 2 or maybe even 3 starter, which should put him in favorable matchups to pick up wins. Of course, a bounce-back season from Haren depends heavily on whether he's over last year's nagging injuries. For what it's worth, Haren had thrown at least 216 innings in each of the last seven years prior to 2012, so he's not prone to injuries. He's a decent gamble as an SP3 or 4 for the Nats and for fantasy owners in 2013.
Red Sox ink Napoli: Former Rangers slugger Mike Napoli may have found a shot at steady, everyday playing time at one position with his three-year deal with Boston. Napoli, who caught, played first base and DH'd in Texas the past two seasons, is expected to be Boston's primary first baseman this season. The move from a loaded Rangers offense to a rebuilding Red Sox lineup may seem like a downgrade at first, but Napoli's powerful right-handed swing should play well at Fenway Park and the other AL East bandboxes. In fact, Napoli has hit .306/.397/.710 in 19 career games at Fenway, and an astounding .271/.376/.560 with 44 homers and 111 RBIs in 543 career at-bats against the AL East. Plus, Napoli, who is still eligible at catcher, will have a shot at a career high in at-bats (currently 453) as the regular first baseman. There's huge bounce-back potential here.

Practice Squad Rules: Who's Eligible?
Posted By Brian McFarland On August 31, 2012 @ 12:00 am In Blog View,Salary Cap Analysis | 1 Comment
With the final cutdown date looming for every team around the NFL, over 700 players are facing the prospects of being unemployed by tonight.
However, for 256 of them, that unemployment will be replaced by tenuous, and often temporary, existence that is an NFL's Practice Squad.
The first step, though, is that the player must be released. Teams must have their active rosters reduced to 53 players by 9:00 p.m. tonight. Other teams may claim a player, in which case that player is added to his new team's 53-man roster.
If the player is not claimed by Noon on Saturday, he will have cleared Waivers and he is then free to sign with any team – either to their active roster (although if not claimed on Waivers, that's unlikely) or to that team's Practice Squad. While there are the occasional instances of "poaching", whereby one team signs a player that another team has released, most team's practice squads are largely made up of players that have been with that team throughout training camp.
Players on the Practice Squad earn a weekly salary of $5,700.00 in 2012 and only get paid for the weeks they are actually on the Squad. If a player is released from the Practice Squad, he becomes a Free Agent.
In order to be eligible for the Practice Squad, a player must:
During his first 2 Practice Squad seasons, a player will be deemed to have spent a season on the Practice Squad if he's spent 3 games during the regular or post-season on the Practice Squad. It takes only 1 game spent on the Practice Squad during the player's third season for it to count as his 3rd Practice Squad season.
A player can be elevated to his team's 53-man roster at any time, however, if he is later released, he must clear Waivers before he can be added back onto the Practice Squad.
A Practice Squad player can be signed by another team at any time, but the player must be signed to that team's 53-man roster. A team cannot sign a player from another Practice Squad directly to its own Practice Squad. If a player is signed to another team's 53-man roster, he is entitled to be paid the applicable minimum salary for a minimum of 3 weeks of service on the 53-man roster, even if he is released before the 3 weeks is up.
In addition, if a team releases a former Practice Squad player signed from another team before his 3 weeks have accrued, the team is not allowed to replace the player on its 53-man roster until the expiration of those 3 weeks. If the player clears Waiver, he can be added as a 9th or extra Practice Squad player until the expiration of the 3 weeks.
There is one limitation to another team's ability to sign players from another team's Practice Squad, and that is that a team cannot sign a player from its next opponent, unless it is at least 6 days ahead of that game (10 days if during a Bye week).
If a player signed from another team's Practice Squad is released from the new team's 53-man roster, he must again go through Waivers before he can be added to any team's Practice Squad.

I have no idea.
Friday Buzz: Carson Palmer, Russell Wilson & more | National Football Post
I damn well hope not, but it makes more sense why the Raiders are talking to QBs at the combine...*Word out of Oakland is Carson Palmers rib and lung injuries may be even worse than reported. In part because of the injury, some of the big dogs in Oakland are saying they dont expect Palmer to return in 2013. That will put the Raiders squarely in the middle of what looks to be a very mediocre quarterback market.
I have no idea.
Sig by Nexx
This is blood for blood and by the gallons. These are the old days man, the bad days, the all-or-nothing days. They're back! There's no choices left. And I'm ready for war.
That was back in the end of December. I am pretty sure that RM has confirmed that Palmer is going to be 100% health-wise for next season. Expect him to be back!
I think Dennis Allen said he expects Palmer to be healthy. But with the draft and free agency approaching we are into the lying season..... you don't want anyone to know if you have a need at a position for fear that they will try to trade above you in any given round to nab the player you wanted.
I'm just wondering why?
Was the injury that bad?
Are the Raiders wanting to make a clear break with the past?
If Palmer is fine, I'd be trying damn hard to trade him...for a 1st round choice, or at least a 2nd and 3rd.
This article has already been discredited and the thread should end here.
yea that article is from last year
The effort was there though...
Hala Madrid | MCFC | Torino
The board is set, the pieces are moving. We come to it at last, the great battle of our time.
They arent counting on Pryor. A lot of people refuse to accept that but its reality. They are looking at QBs in the draft because they are trying to improve the team and they arent sold on Pryor neither as the starter now nor as the future. Then you have Palmer's contract and health concerns in addition to that. I expect Palmer to be the starter unless we draft Smith or Barkley. Even with Palmer starting though they'd like to develop a QB and Pryor doesnt look like the future.
2013 - $15,335,000
2014 - $17,335,000
2015 - $17,335,000
2016 - $17,335,000
And for that amount of money you've gotten:
8 wins - 16 losses
30 interceptions to only 35 Touchdowns
Thats alot of money for a guy who hasnt been the difference maker the previous regime had hoped. Now, there are alot of variables that affect his numbers here and you can argue that the previous two years had extenuating circumstances but if you look at his entire career, you dont see a big difference than what we see now. The guy has a career record (54-67 i think) and his last great season was 7 years ago!
The numbers just dont add up, especially when you are talking about a team that is in rebuild mode. Keeping Palmer at his salary literally makes as much since as keeping Bey at his. If the realists are right, this team has a ton of holes and is 2 or 3 years away from being competitive, thats over 50 million we have paid a QB to help us maintain our below mediocrity. Does that make since from a business standpoint? On top of that, if we are 2 or 3 years out, down the road is Palmer going to get better and is he then going to be worth the 17 million he will be making?
It just doesnt make sense if this team is legitimately trying to rebuild.
But then again, maybe your opinion is like mine. I honestly believe this team is not as far form competitiveness as most think. Combine a healthy McFadden with a downhill running game, keep Palmer and with the exact same roster we have on offense (maybe add an OL or two) and i almost guarantee you this is a top 10 or 12 offense. Now, if Palmer limits his turnovers, then your talking about a .500 or better team depending on the defense and how often we put them back on the field (ie...decision making, turnovers). For this reason, i am not opposed to keeping Palmer one more year but in that same breath, im not opposed to starting over and obtaining a couple or three starting caliber players for the same price tag we pay one QB now.
Make two brackets, pros/cons and there are alot mroe reasons to dump Carson than there is to keep him when relating to the current state of our franchise. As ive said before, ultimately its going to boil down to Reggies opinion on whether this team can realistically be competitive or not. That will dictate the decision to keep or dump Carson. If the injury is really a concern, thats just another justification to let him go and move on.

Di Matteo slams Twitter cowards who racially abused Mikel after Juve mistake
Posted Saturday, September 22, 2012 by Dailymail
Roberto Di Matteo has accused John Obi Mikel's Twitter trolls of hiding behind their keyboards as he condemned the racist abuse of the midfielder.
The Blues contacted the police over two 'totally unacceptable, disgusting and abhorrent' posts directed at Nigeria star Mikel following Wednesday's Champions League draw with Juventus.
The abuse occurred at around the same time Mikel deleted his Twitter account, although Chelsea insisted the 25-year-old had not been aware of it and had been intending to leave the social media site in any event.
Back in action: Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel in training at Cobham on Friday morning
Manager Di Matteo said: 'His intention was to close the account anyway. So it was a good reason to close it.
'The social media world, especially Twitter - because it's anonymous and so on - it's a dangerous vehicle to express yourself.
'I don't think it's fair. If somebody has to express his opinion, he should put his face to it.'
