Here's the tale of the tape from the Minnesota Vikings' 33-26 win over the Washington Redskins on Saturday, with grades on a scale of 0 to 5 in parentheses:
Quarterbacks (3)
Boy, did Christian Ponder (36 snaps) take a beating. The helmet-to-helmet blast Redskins MLB London Fletcher delivered while NT Barry Cofield was swinging Ponder to the ground was just the knockout punch. SS Reed Doughty drew a flag for bloodying Ponder's nose on another vicious shot as the rookie slid. Even when Ponder had time in the pocket, he once again seemed anxious to scramble, which he did four times for 20 yards (5.0 average) and three first downs. Of course, it doesn't help when receivers aren't beating man coverage. Ponder completed 8 of 13 passes for 68 yards and a 75.2 rating. One was dropped. Only two of his completions traveled more than 5 yards beyond the line in the air, with a long gain of 14. The offense scored twice in six drives with Ponder on the field -- one set up by a short field and the other by a senseless offsides penalty on a punt. He made a poor decision to throw to the flat on third-and-8, leaving the Vikings with a field goal. He was pressured eight times and sacked once, on the play that left Ponder with a concussion and took him out of the game a play later. Trying to fight forward with defenders on either side doesn't show your toughness -- it just gets your clock cleaned. Joe Webb (26) played three snaps before Ponder departed, two of them as a receiver and a third under center on a counter-option that went for 16. The option was central to the Vikings offense once Webb took over with 10:40 to go in the third quarter and promptly led four scoring drives, three of them for touchdowns. He finished with five carries for 34 yards, including a 9-yard score off an option keeper. He threw only five passes, completing four for 84 yards. That included a 17-yard scoring strike on a corner and a 36-yard gain up the seam in the face of an empty blitz. The other three throws came off designed movement on Webb's third series, the last an 8-yard scoring strike to the flat on a sprint-out. Leslie Frazier didn't have much choice but to open the door on Webb as the quarterback of the future. It sure seems it'd be tough to sustain that type of offense through a season, though.
Running backs (3)
There wasn't much HB Adrian Peterson (26 snaps) could have done to save the knee. His left leg was planted when FS DeJon Gomes drilled it from the side, tearing two ligaments and sending Peterson into screams of agony. What a shame. To that point, Peterson was moving better than he did six days earlier on a high ankle sprain. He averaged 3.2 yards on 12 carries, including a 1-yard touchdown through LB Rocky McIntosh's arms. He spun out of S Oshiomogho Atogwe's tackle on a 20-yard run that was called on a penalty. He also caught two passes for 14 yards (7.0 average). Several times, Peterson cut back to hit a hole that wasn't there. A false start on fourth-and-1 led to a missed field goal. HB Toby Gerhart (28) came on and rumbled for a career-high 109 yards on 11 carries (9.9 average), including a 67-yard burst through a huge hole on a designed cutback that would have gone for six if he hadn't run out of gas. He broke four tackles. His balance in traffic seems to improve the more he gets the ball. HB Lorenzo Booker (two) gained 1 yard on two carries. FB Ryan D'Imperio (19) stuck ROLB Brian Orakpo on Gerhart's long run, couldn't handle a pass to his back shoulder in the flat and was OK overall. DT Letroy Guion (one) didn't hit anyone while leading on Peterson's score, but the threat of his 303 pounds hitting with a head of steam did the job.
Receivers (2½)
It says a lot about the offense that OC Bill Musgrave called runs on third-and-6 and third-and-9 to Percy Harvin (37 snaps), who didn't come close to converting either. The Redskins kept running man blitzes on third down and the Vikings converted only three of 10 chances (30%), including a drag to Harvin for 9 against CB Josh Wilson and Webb's heave up the seam that Harvin pulled down over Wilson for 36. Harvin's the only guy who can be trusted to make a play without getting lost in a zone, even after going to the locker room briefly with a shoulder injury. Harvin finished with 39 yards on four carries (9.8 average) and 65 yards on five catches (13.0 average), including an 8-yard touchdown to the flat before Fletcher could cross the formation. He would have had another score if Ponder had led him on the drag. He didn't stand much chance of stopping Gomes on the play Peterson got injured. The rest of the receivers had three catches combined -- two of them by Devin Aromashodu (50), who stopped in the zone for 13 and beat Atogwe on a long cross for 23. His effort is always there in the blocking phase. Greg Camarillo (20) folded like a patio chair when Atogwe undercut him and somehow hung on for a 14-yard gain. Emmanuel Arceneaux (six) was open on that early third-and-8 and Ponder never looked his way.
Tight ends (2)
For the second consecutive week, rookie Kyle Rudolph (49 snaps) got more work than Visanthe Shiancoe (45), who had a fine day blocking but wasn't targeted after his drop on the opening series. Maybe Shiancoe felt the contact coming, but that would have been a big gain. Rudolph's 17-yard score on a corner against JLB Perry Riley was exactly the sort of mismatch he can create. How can he only be targeted twice in a game? He caught the other for 6 in the flat against LOLB Ryan Kerrigan and was up and down in the backside blocking game. Jimmy Kleinsasser (nine) nailed his block on Peterson's touchdown and missed Fletcher on a Booker run that lost 1. The unbalanced lines the Vikings mixed in were another new wrinkle from Musgrave.
Offensive linemen (2½)
NT Barry Cofield gave C John Sullivan (59 snaps) some trouble in pass protection, bulling him back for initial contact in 2.9 seconds on the sack that chased Ponder and registering another QB pressure. But Sullivan was a force in the run game, combining with RG Anthony Herrera (47) and RT Phil Loadholt (59) for huge push on a series of zone-right plays that had success early. A low snap might have thrown off the timing on third-and-8. LE Adam Carriker split Sullivan and Herrera once to drop Gerhart for no gain. The knee problems are obvious when Herrera tries to pull. He's OK driving, though. Rookie Brandon Fusco (12) filled in when Herrera dropped out with a lower-back injury, looked good kicking out on a power-toss play and took a dumb personal foul for jacking Riley near a pile. He needs to learn from that if he wants to start next season. Loadholt gave up one pressure to Carriker, had one of his better days run-blocking and took a tough holding penalty when he let DE Darrion Scott go a split-second too late as Peterson cut back a draw. LG Joe Berger (59) mugged up Fletcher on Gerhart's big run and otherwise was mediocre in the run game. He gave up two QB pressures. LT Charlie Johnson (59) was clean after Orakpo bulled him for a pressure on the opening series. He's so athletic for a big man -- he just doesn't have the length to be a long-term answer at tackle. The Redskins rushed five or more eight times in 15 dropbacks (53.3%), not including eight one-step throws, bootlegs and sprint-out passes.
Defensive linemen (3)
The Vikings made a conscious effort to free up RE Jared Allen (69 snaps), who didn't see as many chips once he came inside on a couple of T-E games early. He ended up with a sack, two additional hits and eight total QB pressures -- mostly against rookie LT Willie Smith, who didn't know what to do with Allen's bull rushes. But Allen sacked QB Rex Grossman only once, catching Smith peeking at an outside rush and countering in 2.8 seconds. The holding call on FB Darrel Young that wiped out WR Brandon Banks' 59-yard touchdown run wasn't as flagrant as one officials didn't call earlier on FB Mike Sellers, who appeared to tackle Allen at the point on a toss to HB Evan Royster that gained 28. The Redskins could have run that toss-stretch play all day -- and they almost did, racking up 141 yards on 24 carries (5.9 average) despite the absence of leading rusher HB Roy Helu. The Vikings' gap control was just atrocious. UT Kevin Williams (63) hit Grossman once and later sacked him in 2.6 seconds after shedding RG Chris Chester. There was no questioning Williams' motor, just his discipline at times. He got in on five tackles (two solo). LE Brian Robison (59) only got to Grossman once, but it was a big one -- strip/sack/recovery in 2.0 seconds when Sellers' pickup was thin behind a line slide. DT Letroy Guion (48) got a ton of work and didn't have much to show for it, with two solo tackles and a pressure against RT Jammal Brown that caused a throwaway. The Vikings need to find a nickel rusher who can give them more than that. Apparently, coaches don't think it's DL Christian Ballard (five), at least not yet. NT Fred Evans (12), DE Everson Griffen (11) and NT Remi Ayodele (eight) just picked up scraps, too. Griffen also picked off an in-breaking throw for WR Santana Moss on a zone drop.
Linebackers (2½)
The Vikings played almost exclusively man coverage in the first quarter and had a surprising level of success. Once they dropped into their two-deep zones again, though, Grossman got some rhythm. It's tough to ask a guy like SLB Chad Greenway (69 snaps) to stop receivers dragging across his face all day. WR Donte Stallworth's 19-yard catch and run was a prime example, with players trying to communicate assignments as the ball was snapped. Greenway covered up well overall, breaking up one in-cut to Paulsen. He also took an offsides penalty, got a QB pressure on one of his three blitzes and was in on 16 tackles (four solo). MLB E.J. Henderson (68) had another active day -- recording 11 solo tackles, missing two and getting in Moss' pocket on a third-and-goal throw that sailed incomplete. WLB Erin Henderson (24) probably played his worst game. Where exactly was he going on that toss Royster popped for 28? He finished with four tackles (three solo).
Defensive backs (2½)
Where has this RCB Cedric Griffin (69 snaps) been? He returned to the lineup after a 1¾-week benching, played press coverage like the old days and gave up only two short completions on slants. WR Anthony Armstrong did work him over on the end-around that got called back, and WR Jabar Gaffney was open on the go ball Grossman overthrew behind Griffin in Cover-2 on the final drive. At least coaches can work with this. On the other hand, LCB Benny Sapp (69) just looked lazy. He gave up a 20-yard completion early to Moss on an in-cut, blew tackles on two catch-and-runs that went for 17 each and stood flat-footed as Stallworth ran the slant for a 5-yard touchdown and FS Mistral Raymond (69) tried in vein to get him on the ground. In one red-zone sequence, Grossman completion three consecutive option throws to Stallworth on designed run plays -- two of them against Sapp, who couldn't stop the 6-yarder or the 4-yard touchdown Stallworth hauled in one-handed. CB Marcus Sherels (45) got all the nickel work and was better in man than zone, breaking up a square-in to Moss to halt the Redskins' first drive and failing to get a reroute on a seam throw to WR Terrence Austin for 18. He missed one tackle. Sapp ended up waving his arms at CB Brandon Burton (one) to get the rookie lined up in a rare snap of dime. SS Jamarca Sanford (64) dropped a would-be interception, dinged his shoulder twice, got in on six tackles (three solo) and registered two QB pressures on the extra-man rushes the Vikings deployed only 10 times in Grossman's 41 dropbacks (24.4%). Grossman ended the Vikings' 39-quarter interception drought by drilling Raymond between the numbers on a high seam throw to Moss, who was running free in the zone. Raymond briefly went to the locker room after hurting his left shoulder trying to tackle Stallworth on the touchdown but didn't miss a play. He needs to bulk up in the offseason. Batting down the Hail Mary was a veteran move.
Specialists (1)
LS Matt Katula can't be blamed for PK Ryan Longwell taking a divot on the extra point that shanked wide right. Continued wayward snaps seem to be messing up the timing of the operation, though. At least two were off-target, but P Chris Kluwe just keeps bailing him out. Longwell had a brutal day. Besides the extra point, he came up short and right on a 49-yard field-goal attempt into a slight wind and bounced a side-winding kickoff out of bounds after the Vikings' first touchdown. Longwell's other six kickoffs were OK -- three touchbacks and an average hang time of 3.63 seconds. He had no trouble on field goals from 36 and 23 yards and three other extra points. Banks got out of the gate once for 43 yards when Burton and Sherels got stacked at the edge. Burton struggled in the blocking phase and took a holding penalty. Kluwe grossed 44.3, netted 39.7 and averaged 4.3 seconds of hang time on three punts with one downed inside the 20, not including the one called back by a penalty. Sherels returned one punt for 4 yards and four kickoffs for a 24.5 average. Harvin's kick returns yielded only 15.7 yards on three chances.

Four-Links – King of the Hill Corvette, Nemo car replica, homebuilt EV in Manhattan, Nissan heritage collection
* No, the King of the Hill Corvette was not a propane-powered special. Rather, "King of the Hill" was the nickname given to the prototype LT5-powered ZR1s, and one Corvette enthusiast went all the way to England to find the wrecked King of the Hill Corvette above, then proceeded to restore it.
* Remember the Nemo car from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? One hot rodder liked the lavishly decorated six-wheeled car so much, he's started building a replica of it. The last update we see was from a couple years ago, so we have to wonder if he's made any more progress on it since then. (via)
* This Manhattan-based homebuilt, VW-chassised, canvas-bodied electric vehicle has been stumping NYC carspotters for a while, but MAKE magazine recently caught up with the builder/owner to find out more about it.
* Nissan has put its fairly sizable heritage collection online, including an entry on this Type 80 van from 1937.
* Finally, the Fiat Jolly and the Mini Riviera Buggy weren't the only such beach cars. We've previously linked to CoolBeachCars.com, and this week we also came across a Flickr page that displays the wide variety of vehicles that fit into the beach cars mold.
ZR1 Corvette Sells for $1 Million
Jay Leno helped net $1 million for a 2009 ZR1 Corvette which sold at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale last Saturday. The proceeds from the sale went to the United Way
photo courtesy GM
Although the prices of old muscle cars showed a deep downward spiral at this year's Arizona winter auctions, "new" muscle money went to seven figures at Barrett-Jackson when a 2009 Corvette ZR1 sold for $1 million.
Tonight Show host Jay Leno drove the blue ZR1 onto the stage. The new ZR1 is the fastest ZR1 in Corvette history. The first ZR1 debuted in 1970, and only 25 were built. That option cost $968.95 then, and included a 370-horsepower LT-1 and M22 Muncie transmission, not exactly the most docile powertrain for everyday driving. The next ZR1 debuted in 1990 and didn't really have a Chevy engine, but rather a 32-valve V-8 built by Mercury Marine. The early ZR1s are highly collectible, but the 1990 through 1995 models are a performance bargain these days. The '90s ZR1 package cost more than $30,000 and doubled the price of a Corvette.
The new ZR1 is a supercharged V-8 with more than 600 horsepower and is likely to cost $100,000, but exact pricing has not been determined.
Other "new" muscle cars sold at Barrett-Jackson included a 2008 Dodge Challenger for $400,000 and a 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR, borrowing the name from the legendary 1968 models. Carroll Shelby addressed the crowd during the sale of the KR, which brought $550,000. All monies from these three cars benefited charity.

Rare muscle trio to cross the block
If you must be the first on your block to own the newest muscle car on the market, get to Barrett-Jackson on Saturday, January 19, when three very special cars will be auctioned off and all proceeds will go to charity.
The first new Dodge Challenger serial number 1 will be sold. This car is the most talked about vehicle to come out of Detroit in more than a generation. This Hemi Orange Pearl car has a 6.1-liter Hemi engine and is destined to be an instant collectible. All proceeds from this sale benefit notMYkid charity.
Secondly, the first production 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 will be sold the same night, with all proceeds going to the United Way. This beauty is blue, with more than 600 horsepower under the hood, and is the fastest Corvette ever built.
Lastly, the first 2008 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR, with 540hp from its supercharged V-8, will be auctioned, and proceeds from that sale benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This is the first GT 500 KR in 40 years and is a joint venture with Ford Motor Co. and Shelby Automobiles of Las Vegas, Nevada. For more information, visit www.barrett-jackson.com.

Rare Muscle Cars Up for Auction
We hope you don't get tired of us talking about muscle car auctions, but
that's what you, our readers, have told us you like.
On Dec. 10, an estate auction is being held in Newington, New Hampshire, and run by Paul McNinnis Inc. There is something for everyone, including Harleys with very few miles on them, a couple of Superbirds, yes, a couple, and one of the rarest GTOs, if not the rarest ever built-a 1971 Judge convertible. Pontiac records show only 17 of these made that year. Most people have never seen one, let alone have an opportunity to buy one.
If that isn't enough, there is an Orbit Orange 1970 Judge convertible and a 1965 GTO convertible up for sale. There also are three extremely low-mileage Corvettes on the block: A 1988 35th anniversary job with 660 miles, a 1993 40th anniversary model with 2,585 miles and lastly a mighty 1991 ZR-1 with only 2,280 miles.
For you Mopar guys, the Superbirds are Hemi Orange and Sublime Green. The orange car features a Six-Pack-equipped 440 engine and the green one is a single four-barrel 440. Now that's our idea of Christmas shopping. Happy bidding.

+1 for the Montbell.My stepfather recently started using a kids arm floatie. He said it is the most comfortable he's tried (as I listened with skepticism).
I think Montbell has the best inflatable. The nice thing about it is that you inflate it completely and it has a good shape. So many of the inflatable pillows turn into a ball when fully inflated. This means you have to let some air out. When you do that, it sloshes around.I have the Montbell, but I'm trying something different this year. I'm going to try using my O2 raingear (fact check: these may not be O2, but something similar, like DriDucks). There are two reasons why I think this is promising: One, I don't wear rain gear to bed. Two, this type of rain gear is rather puffy. Normally I want my gear to be as compressible as possible, but this time things are working in my favor. There are some differences in puffiness between the different brands (O2, DropStoppers, DriDucks, etc.) so I would try and get the puffiest. Unfortunately, even though I have bought a bunch, I forget the differences. I'm going to buy or make a silk pillow case to stuff these in (which should be very light). Or maybe I'll just use a cuben sack and tape a silk sheet over one end (that way I won't have to worry about the rain gear being totally dry).
I've tried almost as many combinations as you, with similar results. This is what works for me as a side sleeper:A foundation using a Thermarest Seat, 3 oz.A REI Travel Pillow on top, 4.9 oz.Neither slip, the REI feels good on the skin, and the combination is firm enough to support my head when on my side. And I can dial in the exact desired hight/firmness, as both are inflatable. Hollow inflatable pillows (Big Agnes, Kooka Bay, etc.) wobble too much, or aren't thick enough, or are too slippery. Down pillows compress way too much. Pillow systems can be quite heavy (12 oz. for the 2-piece Sea to Summit). No one has invented the perfect UL pillow yet--at least for me.I tried the Z-Seat sitpad (instead of the Thermarest Seat), but it was just too thin and I lost too much head support.There are two crazy things with pillow testing: when combining items to make a comfortable pillow, the final weight will be way more than you thought, and start to encroach on commercial pillow systems (Thermarest, Sea to Summit, etc.); and you can't test them in your bed as the mattress/pillow dynamic is different from your pad/pillow dynamic. Always test on the floor with your pad (and maybe bag).
I used the Montbell air pillow (2.5 oz) last year, and was pleased with it. This year I'm using the Kooka Bay air pillow (1.3 oz). It's a bit smaller, and lighter as well. It works as well as the Montbell.For skin comfort, I put a Buff (1.3 oz) around each of these when using them.
I bought a couple of GG's sit pads when I started using my Jam2/Pinnacle packs 2 years ago, to replace GoLite's frame pad. I noticed that the pad would roll up and fit inside a Quixote fleece pillow case I had (egg carton to the inside of the roll). Then I stuff my BPL cocoon pants, or anything else that I'm not wearing while sleeping, inside the pad to provide the right amount of loft. Bingo--a proper firm pillow, for just 1.25 oz. weight penalty (the weight of the Quixote fleece cover). So my sit pad is a triple use item--sitting comfortably on a log, padding the pack (egg carton against my back), and a pillow component. The pillow case can also be used for other things during the day--pot holder, a place to store my flashlight, little alarm clock, Bic lighter, etc. where I can find them, and probably even be a silly semi-neck gaiter if needed. Not bad for 1.25 oz.
Simon,I use a setup similar to yours but I do use the big agnes air core inflatable pillow topped with an arrowhead equipment bear pillow. It works great for me as a side sleeper also. I have considered using a montbell down inner jacket in place of the AE pillow to save weight when I am not needing it for extra warmth in my sleeping bag
I have decided just can't sleep on an inflatable pillow.I'm looking for a high fill down pillow. I'd be happy to request a custom pillow, but so far, I haven't found anything. Where do you suggest I look for a custom down pillow?
I'm not exactly objective here, but give the WM cloudrest a shot. If you're in Cincinatti, you're probably pretty close to ea WM dealer. Give one a call, see if you can head out and actually pick one up before buying. A little heavier than you're looking for, but its comfy as hell (or at least mine is). Also, if its really an issue, you can cut off the attached stuff sac to save some weight.Edit: stupid spelling/punctuation

Think the subject line says it best. I'm a stomach sleeper and looking for a pillow. At home I use a thin pillow and usually sleep on my arms croosed under my head anyway. Clothing stuff sack not doing it anymore. Have read the Cocoon Down pillow squishes to much for back sleepers but may work for me. Also the Cocoon Hyperlite seems that it may work.Any experiences out there?Tangent- What's with the discrimination toward Stomach Sleepers? Where's my awesome sleeping bag?
Edited by Sixguns01 on 11/21/2010 19:10:30 MST.
I got a Feathered Friends pillow for my son to use in the car and he discovered a cool way to make it thinner or thicker. If you prefer the pillow thinner, you can just pull the stuff sack out and push some of the down out of the pillow. To go thicker, the built-in stuff sack can by pushed inside of the pillow (so it's like a giant down mitten) and you can stuff items inside of it. Whatever you stuff in there is still covered with tons of down and an Epic shell so it's not lumpy. Pretty brilliant design.
Have it... hate it... it just compresses under my head like there is nothing there at allI'd be happy to find it a new home
I have the exact Cocoon Down Pillow that you speak of and I, like Kari, hate it. I went through a half dozen plus pillows before I gave up and removed all my requirements of it needs to be this, and it needs to be that. It only needs to be comfortable. Period. I wanted to try a Nemo Fillow but couldnt find one I could look at. I wasn't buying any more pillows sight unseen. My next to last pillow was the Exped red pillow, good and almost made the cut but not tall enough for me as a side sleeper. I finally found comfort in the Green Exped Comfort pillow I found at REI. It weighs over 10 oz's but I don't care anymore. No more pain in my neck waking me up at 4AM. It's comfortable.That being said, PM me if you want the Cocoon Travel Down Pillow. Pay shipping and it's yours or anyone else that wants it.
Looks like reading everything....montbell U.L. is the winner. Any other suggestions for Ultra light and for a side sleeper? Right now, I use the REI trekker pillow case, but stuffing it is not always the best available option.
I use a 1oz inflatable pillow from my local pound store. Flock finish is nice. Tears easy, but only a dollar fifty to replace if the sticky tape fails, so who cares.
This may sound weird, but sometimes I'll just sleep on one of my trailrunners as long as it's not covered in mud. Plenty of support, somewhat soft, doesn't make any noise, and doesn't weigh a thing.I've also tried inflating a 1 liter platypus bottle. It's comfortable, but a bit noisy and easy to roll off of.Mostly I just use whatever clothing I'm not wearing.
I like that it has a higher and lower side and that it has a brushed side and a smooth side. I am a side sleeper and it has plenty of height. Only down side of the air pillows is they can move around on you but that can be remedied somewhat by wrapping it in piece of clothing.
I tried this and while sleeping directly on the shoe wasn't great, I found the putting both shoes (the tongue side) under the mat, it gave a nice curved raise to the mat. With a neo air it seemed to work pretty well.
+1 for the mont bell. I use it with a Big Agnes IAC pad. I sewed a couple of bungie cord loops to the pad on the outer edge of the pad and then attached a few small plastic hooks that can clip into the mont bell pillow at its corner holes. This has worked extreamly well so far. It keeps the pillow in place without having to put it inside the hood of my bag.
Empty 4 litre wine bladder blown up / 34 gramsAlso use it to carry water and add flotation to pack when swimming rivers!Cost = $0(But be careful when you use it as a pillow and a water bladder at the same time!)

I know this is an old thread, but I find that most inflatable pillows become a lot more comfortable if you only half inflate them.I have a trekmates inflatable pillow, which comes with a nice soft pillow case with a bit of cushioning on the top. If I inflate it as much as it can go, it has a more rounded shape and is very stiff, not comfortable at all. However, if I only half inflate it, it becomes a lot softer and has more give in the cushion.

Your hardware should be supported...even if it's not officially listed. I know for a fact that Turtle Beach Santa Cruz is supported, as well as the Ge4. If you're running linux and playing around, then your mobo is supported. It's just a matter of working out the kinks. Stick with it, keep asking us questions. You'll be fine, plus it's soooooooo rewarding when things work out.
As for the screens thing in X, under the depth 16 section, change the line that reads
Modes "800x600" "640x480"
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
That should make 1024x768 @ 16-bit colour your default. If you'd like to add 24 or 32-bit colour, just create a new section. You can see the format of the config file from the 8 and 16-bit parts of what you posted (the "Subsection Display" bits). Just copy those exactly, with "Depth 32" instead of "Depth 8". That should fix your resolution.
As for your internet. Let's make sure eth0 is up and running. Open up a term, and type "/sbin/ifconfig eth0" as root user. It should give you a bunch of information such as the hardware address of your ethernet card, interrupts, packet information, etc. If it doesn't, then it's a problem with your ethernet drivers. If it does, then get dhcpcd and install it:
To get dhcpcd: get it from http://www.phystech.com/ftp/dhcpcd-1.3.22-pl4.tar.gz and download it to your home directory. Open a terminal, and type "tar -zvxf dhcpcd-1.3.22-pl4.tar.gz" Go to the directory it creates (dhcp-somethingorother), and type "./configure". You'll see a bunch of text fly by. Then type "make". Again, you'll see more text fly by. Become root (su command), and then type "make install." You'll see more text fly by. In theory, dhcpcd should be installed. I'm not entirely sure where it gets installed to, but try typing (as root user), "/sbin/dhcpcd", "/usr/sbin/dhcpcd", "/usr/local/sbin/dhcpcd". One of those should probably work. If all goes well, it'll pause for 2 seconds (if it goes longer then there's a problem), and you'll be connected.
As for the sound thing, open up a term, become root, and type "/sbin/modprobe msnd_pinnacle" and see if that works. Also try "/sbin/modprobe/snd-cs46xx". If either of those work, then you're good to go. If not, hrmmm....does anyone here know ANYTHING about mknod? I sure don't.

Super patch Advanced Configuration for System Preferences renders everything ever obsolete 69
Patching in webOS land is one of those areas where we can definitively
gleefully mock declare our superiority claim a win over our friends with Android and iOS devices. The hundreds of patches available in Preware, through our forums, and even through some simple coding of your own provide customization options most platforms don't even offer. WebOS Internals' newest code magician, Sconix, has been hard at work whipping up a new mega patch that consolidates the functions of multiple patches into one neat little package. Unlike the much-lauded Advanced Configuration for Launcher patch, the new Advanced Configuration for System Preferences patch touches multiple apps in a multitude of ways. So many ways, in fact, that you're going to have to head past the break to check it out.
We'll go through this app-by-app, using the handy guide published by WebOS Internals.
Screen & Lock
- Screen brightness minimum has been reduced to zero, and a maximum/minimum option lets you quickly jump to the extremes.
- Turn off after comes with new options, extending the range of on time from 15 seconds all the way up to five minutes. Or eternity.
- Haptic feedback is present, with an on-off selector. Tapping the screen when enabled should trigger a quick vibration, though in practice it doesn't always vibrate (and third-party apps seem to be out.
- Renamed to Sound Settings, appropriate given the number of options now available.
- Both Alert (ba-donk) and Notify (badalaDing) tones can now be easily customized.
- Notifications for low batter and charger can also now be changed, with options for mute (nothing), sound (the alert tone), and vibrate (bzzz).
- A new sound volume levels section has been added, letting you independently set the volume independently for ringtones, system sounds, and media.
Phone Preferences
- Phone Preferences has been renamed to Phone Services (this app only shows with the Advanced Configuration for Launcher patch).
- An on-off toggle for the phone radio was added right to the app.
- Network settings has the option for Roam Only now under the voice network selection. Carrier Only and Automatic are still present.
- There are now three preferences options in the application menu: Preferences, Phone Services, and Sound Settings. The latter two open the (renamed) apps by those names.
- Contact matching by pounding out a name on the keyboard was moved to here from Phone Services. Select On or Off.
- The new slider section gives the options for what happens when you open and close the slider. Opening has the choices of Do Nothing, Answer Call, and Speakerphone (answers to speakerphone). Closing the slider comes with Do Nothing and Hangup Call (unless on Bluetooth) options.
- The new Touchstone option gives the choice to enable or disable automatic call answering when you pick a ringing phone up off the Touchstone charger.
- A single-choice Speakerphone section lets you set the speakerphone for manual (by way of on-screen button) or Using Proximity (move the phone away from your face, switch to speakerphone).
- Under the new Application section you can set the default (launch) view for the phone app, with choices for Call log or Dialpad, and when on a call you can opt for the standard Contact picture or the Dialpad. Additionally, you may select whether or not to have the phone app automatically close after a call.
- The new Notifications section gives options to enable or disable blink notifications, set a notification repeat (ranging from once every two minutes to once an hour, with the default option of Disabled), and consequently how many times you want the phone to repeat the notification (three to thirty times, or until you take care of it - infinite).
- The new Message Drafts preferences section gives options to "Copy to Message" (the default draft restored-on-conversation-opening behavior) and "Copy to Clipboard" where the message is, well, copied to the clipboard for use in another conversation or elsewhere on the phone.
- You can now select an individual account to modify the notification preferences for that account.
- The New Message section gives options for Blink Notifications and on-screen Notifications (on or off for each).
- The Notifications section allows you to customize the alert style (vibrate, system sound, ringtone, and mute, as before), determine the vibration length (none, half a second, one second, or one and a half seconds), how often the notification is repeated, and if so how many times.
- Like with the Messaging additions, you now have finer control over the notifications to each of your email accounts, with options added for blink notifications, vibrate length, repeat intervals and repetitions.
- For every contact a Contact Preferences section has been added under the app menu. These options are available under that menu selection.
- The Phone Call section lets you set an action for when you receive a phone call from that contact. Do Nothing is the default you decide whether or not to answer behavior, Auto Hang Up cancels the call like it never happened, and Direct to Voicemail sends the caller straight to your voicemail. Ringtone allows you to pick a custom ringtone for an individual contact if the desire strikes.
- The SMS Message option also lets you set a custom alert tone for a contact.
Location Services
- A simple on-off toggle has been added to the header to simultaneously enable or disable the GPS Radio and Google Services.
- The preferences app has been modified to display all saved networks, with one caveat: you have to remove all of your current networks and re-add them. After that point the networks will stay listed as options, even if they are out of range at the time.
Sconix did note on Twitter that it is strongly recommended that you update your Saved Packages List in your homebrew installer of choice and run Emergency Patch Recovery to give yourself a fresh patching start before installing the Advanced Configuration for System Preferences patch. This is recommended due to the sheer number of patches that the new patch obsoletes - by our count at least thirty eight.
If you're new to homebrew and patching and all the fun that such things entail, check out this more-than-handy Hombrew How-To guide to get yourself started.
Now that you've had a chance to catch your breath, that's quite the multitude of options, no? If you haven't already, or even if you have and it's just been a while, you should take the time to send a donation to the folks at WebOS Internals. They do fantastic work, and ask for nothing in return.

Great stuff Sconix!
Great explanation Derek!
Awesome work WebOS Internals!
The Patches and those who make patches possible (webos internals and all you other great programmers in our community) is what makes my Pre minus livable :)
Dont get me wrong HPalm, We WANT AND NEED new hardware, for our sakes and webos' future!
Awesome work! I'd love to download install it now, except for the fact that it conflicts with about 300 of my other patches! It would be pretty sweet if when downloading a patch that conflicts with other patches, you get an option to remove the old patch, instead of just a failure notice. I think it would make patching 100% easier for those just getting into it, and would cut down on alot of unneeded patch problem posts in the forums.
I'm in the same boat, I'd love to get this patch installed, but I've got to figure out which of the 50 patches I've got to remove first, and that's gonna take the better part of an afternoon! ...just too busy right now, and if if fails, I'll really miss the functions the old patches provide. and as we all know, un-patched, this phone is a dog.
It would be pretty sweet if when downloading a patch that conflicts with other patches, you get an option to remove the old patch, instead of just a failure notice.
If this is possible, it would revolutionize the patch process. (which is already pretty revolutionary! ;-)
Great stuff Sconix!
Great explanation Derek!
Awesome work WebOS Internals!
My head hurts.
I love Sconix and his work, but I hate when people say his patches render all others "obsolete". Are his superior? Yes. Do they magically prevent the old ones from not working? No; that would be completely against the open idea/format of the patch system. The old patches still work and have value. if they didn't, they wouldn't have been integrated into these patches.
And yes, I do plan on using his patches :)
Well said and I agree.
Obsolete doesn't mean "no longer works," it means "no longer useful." The contributions of other patch devs are still useful, but this patch renders those patches no longer useful, i.e. obsolete.
Ouch you got BURNED SON!!!! But really I saw a few typos from the quick skin over I gave the article though. "Low batter" instead of battery etm.
Typos are my specialty. I should know, I'm getting really good at making them.
hahaha.. "I saw a few typos from the quick skin over"
That's what I get for replying on my pre.
It does replace a few patches, but hardly "renders everything ever obsolete", whatever that means.
"no longer in use or no longer useful" is what the link your supplied says.
a) They are still in use as stand-alone and/or incorporated into this new "Super" patch.
Maybe a person doesn't want the "Super" patch and so the other options are still available
b) Again, They are useful both in this Super patch or stand-alone.
Personally, I would prefer the "Super" patch, but I agree the obsolete is not the right word. Hey, but who cares anyway?
technically obselete doesn't mean it prevents the others patches from working. It literally means these patches can be replaced by something newer or better. Obselete doesn't mean useless. It means used less.
anyway...This patch was clearly built upon the backs of giants, so along w/ sconix we should also be thanking everyone who made the original patches for helping us to get this far. This is the accomplishment of many!
good work all
Yes as with my ACAL patch, a huge thanks goes to those original patch authors and people that give me great ideas. Although I always try to do my own implementation and only loan the ideas. For example couple of the features this patch provides, the original patches just did work properly at least not for me and there was clear coding errors. So I never just copy the original patches. I want to understand what they do and why so I at least know why my is not working if some bugs are reported and can fix them easily.
Thank you Sconix for all your hard work. I have a question (or error report). The decription says that there is an option to change the duration of the vibration. I don't see a "0", just half sec (short) through sec and a half (long). I love this patch, however I NEVER use the vibrate feat even while my phone is on silent. Please advise.
Thanks in advance
I am "fixing" the extra vibrate setting for next release so with that release its behave as expected and can be configured as expected.
oh thank you so much... Is there anyway to implement the Message Signature feat because the patch alone conflicts with the mega patch
Coming from a major webOS developer, that's high praise and major endorsement. I'm in.
Wow! Couldn't agree more - Sconix has done it again! Look forward to his latest!
man!!! I ran EPR, and went to dl this one....only to find out I need 1.4.5. F$%*ing AT&T!!!!!! There is so much stuff I can't get because they haven't released 1.4.5 for the pixi yet. I'm getting really pissed off!
This is GREAT, except that I now need to figure out what to uninstall to get this to work. LOL
Too lazy to EPR tbh and I really don't want to install only to find it conflicts with some other patch I really want. Love the launcher patch, but I'm just putting a wait and see on this for now.
Does anyone have a link to that bubbles wallpaper in the image? :)
Put the lines all together, had to break it up or the link wouldn't show up right.
Love the work. But I don't use half of those patches. Nicer to have individual patches so that if I install a new patch, it'll be easier to identify what patches are conflicting rather than unpatching the one 'super' patch.
Yeah, this is my problem with this, too. I love the work he's put into these patches, but they run entirely too roughshod around the Pre's inner workings for my taste. I would much rather take the fine-grained approach of installing only the individual patches that I want.
While its true that individual patches are better for some use cases and its always good to have choices. But what comes to the fine-grained approach the extra code that my patches add is only in use if you enable those features and I am very careful what I add and how. For example the notification repeat implementation has about half the changes needed than the individual patch does. So there really should not be a lot difference in the "system contamination" sense even if not all features are needed by the user. The main motivation for having these big patches is that now plenty of users have a more "uniform" system instead of everyone having different set of patches. This keeps the system much more intact and allows other apps to take advantages of these features like mine Mode Switcher. And no I am not saying that everyone should use these, but just wanted to share the motivation.
Cool, fair enough. I can definitely understand your motivation for doing it, and I definitely see the use case. Interesting that you actually change less code per tweak than the individual ones. I didn't know that (and it makes my "runs roughshod" comment seem stupid, haha -- I'm glad you understood the underlying point I was making). If and when AUPT is updated to support patches of your kind (that touch multiple system resources), I will give it another shot.
It's awesome that you responded, btw. 8^D Keep up the great work!
Thanks, Sconix, I wish Derek placed a donate button for Sconix under the article. Derek, thanks for writing the article on the weekend.
Though for the first month I can see Sconix answering questions upon questions, why its not installing. And the answer is always the same, uninstall other patches.
Looks way cool. But does it really "render everything *ever* obsolete"? lol. Sorry, couldn't help it.
I'm also of the mindset that I'd like to know what it conflicts with so I could selectively uninstall those patches only.
I swear WebOS Internals is 10 times more productive than Palm themselves. You all rock!
Everything ever. No exaggeration here, no Sir. This patch has rendered the wheel, chicken wings, Microsoft, aluminum siding, the tab key, wine, trivets, socks, and oxygen all obsolete, among other things including but not limited to everything.
awwww, but I love chicken wings!
If anyone's having problems, this is the url for the patch thread (http://forums.precentral.net/webos-patches/264559-patch-advanced-configu...). This helped me figure out what patches were conflicting so I didn't have to run EPR.
wow... That is all.
this is more features than any single one palm update i can think of
true that!
Anyone have time to tackle listing the patches this conflicts with? I'd do it but I'm working 14 hour days for the next week then going out of town for a week to a cabin to lick my wounds!
Just a reminder, this patch needs adding to the list of non OTA safe patches, until AUPT is updated to allow for this type of patch :-)
Still well worth using it, but just wanted to make sure everyone knows to remove it when webOS 2.0 lands.
Will it work on non-English systems? Cause some of the original patches won't. Some of the top bar related ones, for example.
Unfortunately this only works with the default en_us locale, but the international version is coming. Hopefully within week or two, but as I am busy with real life and other things its hard to tell the timetable for sure.
Incredible work. Sometimes I'm really amazed at the things people can do -- while I sit at home and drool on myself as I surf the internet. I really need to work on my motivations...
I noticed that Preware still installed the 'Hang up phone except when in headset" patch after this one is installed. Not conflicted (errorwise), but it should be, no?
Its possible since I usually make my own implementation and not just copy existing patches so sometimes it is possible that some patch installs even it provides same functionality. That can cause problems so better leave them uninstalled. Currently it is not possible to add conflicting packages to the package itself as far as I know.
Wow. There is so much in there. Kind of glossed over the awesome call blocking feature.
I just kind of wish there was a consolidated place to go for phone settings rather than all the respective apps.
Can someone explain to me how I get my patches back after EPR and installation of AdvConfigSysSet?
The wiki at webOS Internals is good about how to prepare the device, and how to install the patch, but then nothing about what to do at that point.
Yes, I kind of missed that. Sorry.
I'll work on getting some instructions on the wiki to cover it.
After you EPR'd and installed the ACSP patch, you can start restoring your other patches by going back to your saved package list in preware and start installing the patches listed there. You can do it one by one or you can use the install all button. By using the install all button you may find that it may stop part way through installing the patches when it comes to a patch that provides the same functionality as the ACSP patch. You can just swipe to delete those from the saved package list and continue with installing your other patches.
Sweeeeet.... more power.... I like control...
@ toofast4yourazz - totally agree
I would like to download this patch, but won't because I really enjoy the ease of switching to "Roam Only" from the drop-down menu on the top right corner (i.e. battery icon). I can easily switch between Roam Only on and off with only two taps on the screen, and without having to surf through my list of apps to find the one I need to open to then change my roaming setting. I switch the roaming feature on/off twice a day - when getting to and leaving work - so I really don't want to have to go through the extra steps and thus it unfortunately makes this new patch useless to me - so much for "obsolete".
I EPR'd and it still says that 1 out of 3 hunks failed...soundsandalerts...I am somewhat of a noob so please don't be harsh...i know i have to uninstall patches which is why I EPR'd to start fresh but it didn't solve my problem. Any suggestions.
My SMS "Message Signature" patch cannot be installed. Any way to incorporate a signature option into this patch?
This patch conflict with " send all contact via Email" patch, any way you can blend them together.thanx
omg this ios so incredible but it conflicts with my messaging plugin patch so its definitively a NO.... i wish i could use this

Police are currently searching for the culprit behind a rash of cigarette burglaries.
According to a BPD press release, officers are trying to find the person or persons behind at least three Dollar General burglaries wherein at least one suspect has been forcing his way through the doors, breaking open the cigarette container and stealing numerous cartons of cigarettes.
Police say they've caught the suspect responsible for kidnapping a woman and her children before he sexually assaulted the mother of two.
According to a BPD press release, Dijon V. Cooper, 20, of Beaumont, was detained Friday, Sept. 20 for a Sept. 11 aggravated kidnapping that began at the Elmo Willard Library on East Lucas Drive in Beaumont. Police say that's when Cooper abducted a 36-year-old female who was just leaving the library with her newborn and 1-year-old child.
A 53-year-old Port Arthur man who goes by the name "Boo Boo" made the mistake of being seen by police after stealing a flat screen television from a Third Street home Sept. 22.
Sunday evening around 5:30 p.m., police spotted a man on a bicycle carrying a small flat screen television in the 3600 block of Procter Street in Port Arthur.

In Defense of KB.
This missive is in response to the yogaland hubbub surrounding Judith Hanson Lasater's recent letter in Yoga Journal regarding her concerns about the direction of yoga in our modern world, and the sexual exploitation of young women in yoga advertising.
First of all, despite all the discussion (most of it positive, some of it mean-spirited) about yoga and nudity and commercialism and the depiction of young women in advertising in Yoga Journal, let me be clear about one thing:
KB doesn't need defending.
In my experience—which I can safely say is as extensive as anyone's (I'm her editor here on elephant, so I read her articles in some depth and with some consistency; and I'm a newer friend in 3D/real life)—Kathryn is an old soul.
Her Toesox ads are hot. They are also genuine. They represent the spirit of yoga far more than many of the tacky, commercial ads in Yoga Journal (props to YJ, too—they could have resolved Judith's concern privately, without publishing the letter—and indeed we can see KB and Toesox's latest ad, in the issue of YJ in question, is nudity-less).
To my mind, Judith's question (see bottom of this post) is an important one. A vital one. It's not merely about nudity, or exploitation, or commercialism. It's about the future of yoga. Is the future of yoga about breath, alignment, drishti, waking up, stilling the waves of our mind? Or is it about making money? Or will it continue to be, messily, about both?
One thing is clear: thanks to the art and integrity of Jasper Johal, the photographer behind Hard Tail and Toesox, the ads are sex-ee without being sexual. Toesox's infamous ads are, despite the lack of clothing, and KB's beauty, not titillating. Some yoga ads, however, are. And Toesox and KB are walking that fine line—that razor's edge—between titillation and art. What keeps both of them in balance, imho, is KB's practice and study. She may be ambitious. She may be a fabulous, much-in-demand LA-based yoga teacher. But one thing's for sure: she's a real student, and a real teacher. She's a serious yet-not-self-serious heir and/or colleague to many of the teachers I look up to: Cyndi Lee, Richard Freeman, Seane Corn, John Friend, Tias Little, Sara Powers, Eric Schiffman, Elena Brower.
Judith's letter, we must remember, never mentioned Toesox, or KB. It could have been inspired by those ads—certainly they are the most graphic examples of nudity, yoga and advertising that come most quickly to mind. And yet…Judith is not about the letter of the law—she is, she stresses repeatedly, not opposed to nudity. She is opposed, rather, to exploitation.
So I say this: just you try and exploit KB. I'll tell you how far you'll get. And, then, I'll tell you where you can go.
So: Long live the spirit of yoga. With thanks to Judith, Yoga Journal, Toesox and KB for helping to spark this important koan for all of us: what kind of advertising do we want to see in the yoga community?
Advertising that sells a slimmer, fitter butt? Or advertising that sells a fuller acceptance of who we are?
PS: Here's JHL's original letter (note that it makes no specific mention of any model, teacher, company or ad):
Letter to Yoga Journal August 2010Yoga Journal was born in my living room in Berkeley in 1975, where I was one of
five yoga practitioner-teachers who gathered to create the magazine. I have
loved the magazine ever since. But I'm concerned about ads that have stimulated
both confusion and sadness in me about where the magazine is now and where it is headed.
I am confused because I do not understand how photos of naked or half-naked
women are connected with the sale of practice products for asana, an important
part of yoga. These pictures do not teach the viewer about yoga practice or
themselves. They aren't even about the celebration of the beauty of the human
body or the beauty of the poses, which I support. These ads are just about
selling a product. This approach is something I though belonged (unfortunately)
to the larger culture, but not in Yoga Journal.
Finally, I feel sad because it seems that Yoga Journal has become just another
voice for the status quo and not for elevating us to the higher values of yoga:
spiritual integration, compassion and selfless service. My request is that Yoga
Journal doesn't run ads with photos that exploit the sexuality of young women in
order to sell products or more magazines. Thank you for your attention and
willingness to hear another point of view.

32 Responses to "In Defense of KB."
Waylon just wants to get in to her pants, er, Sox.
it's unfortunate that the conversation landed on kathryn and this toesox ad. it really does take away from the bigger questions that judith addresses in her letter. but this ad has also become a symbol for the type of advertising that judith is talking about. and this whole messy conversation is also symbolic of the deeper rooted confusion that we all have around sexuality and consumption.
but what i'm also hearing here is that you think there is some kind of division between the toesox ads and other "tacky" commercial ads in yoga magazines, based on the fact that these ads are arty, black and white and "sexee without being sexual." what does taste have to do with it? how does artfulness justify the use of a nude female body to sell a completely unnecessary yoga product?
i hope that the conversation will swing around to the essential question you ask at the end – what kind of advertising do we want to see in the yoga community? – and away from emotional reactions to the ad and kathryn budig.
You are right. KB does not need defending. Because she was never attacked.
Of course not from a yogi! There aren't many real yogi's around anyway, and none of them would say that here.
KB doesn't need defending I'm sure. Was her choice to take part in the ads wise, intelligent, full of integrity… that's for HER to say, no one else. Would some of the people attacking her have done the same thing if THEY were 'yoga babes' being offered good green for an honest day's work? Yes undoubtedly some of them would.
I do find it sad though that the original message has been diluted a little: about whether, as Waylon said, we want yoga advertising to be one way or another.
I think the sad truth is that advertising is all about supply and demand: there is HUGE money in advertising, just like there is in insurance. And both industries tend to have their finger firmly on the pulse of the zeitgeist. If more of us honestly didn't want to see titillation, and read sensationalism, then the ads wouldn't exist in the first place.
If we really want to have some good come out of this debate (or any other!) we need to look inwards, at how WE affect the society around us.
[…] huge divisions and aggression in this discussion. It's degenerated beyond healthy debate into defenses and accusations. And I'm seeing these divisions in my own mind, as I read the comments. I […]
nice, waylon. i also think kb is beautiful and the photos in the ads are beautiful. BUT. the letter from judith hanson laster is NOT a personal attack on kb, it doesn't even mention her, and furthermore, as judith clearly says in her letter, it's not anti-sex or anti-nakedness.
JHL makes some good points, but comes across as out of touch with the realities of advertising and marketing, as well as a bit bitter about losing control of her "baby". It's understandable, but she's being a bit melodramatic and reactionary here.
I have gotten to know Kathryn a bit over the past year or so, and can completely and immediately validate what Waylon has to say. She has a fiery, passionate, sensual, deep, courageous and Old Soul. She's hardly an Object, or letting herself be "used" in any way, shape or form.
She can take care of herself and then some.
Peace. Word. Write on.

Victoria Beckham and Harry Styles Wear Same Burberry Heart Shirt: Who Wore It Best?
They're both British. They both got their big breaks in pop groups that attracted legions of teen fans. And they both have amazing brunette locks! So it's not surprising that Victoria Beckham, formerly of the gi-normous girl band Spice Girls, and Harry Styles, currently of the huge boy band One Direction, would share a similar fashion sense.
PHOTOS: Victoria Beckham's posh style
Both stars recently rocked Burberry Prorsum button-downs. Styles was the first to show he isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve. The heartthrob singer paired his hearts-emblazoned navy shirt ($595) with skinny jeans for the world premiere of his band's movie, One Direction: This Is Us, on Aug. 20. And even before then, all the way back in February, the boy bander threw on the same shirt for a night out on the town.
PHOTOS: The biggest boy bands of all time!
On Monday, Sept. 2, the designer and mom of four was spotted arriving at JFK Airport in NYC -- ahead of fashion week -- wearing the women's silk version of the Burberry Prorsum shirt ($795) while pushing a dozing Harper, her 2-year-old daughter with husband David Beckham, in a stroller. The fashionista tucked in her maroon blouse and -- unlike Styles, who wore his buttoned-up -- kept hers open at the collar.

NBA recognizes Kevin Love as the Western Conference Player of the Week
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
The NBA on Monday named Kevin Love the Western Conference Player of the Week for the season's opening week. It's the first time in his career that he has earned the award.
From the league's website:
Love led Minnesota to a 3-0 mark, the second time in franchise history the Timberwolves have opened the season with at least three straight wins. Love paced the team in scoring and rebounding each game, averaging a league-best 29.7 points and ranking with 4.7 rpg [rebounds per game]. He had at least 30 points and 15 rebounds twice, giving him 20 such games since entering the league in 2008-09, second over that span to Dwight Howard (23). In the team's season opener Oct. 30 -- a 120-115 overtime victory against the Orlando Magic -- Love finished with 31 points and 17 rebounds, and sank the game-tying three-pointer to force overtime.
You may recall that play, a clutch shot Love drained to send the season opener into overtime. Wolves columnist Zach Harper posted a video analysis of that important shot against the Magic.
Love and the Wolves are playing well enough to vault up national media power rankings. But amid the very positive first week for the Love, Corey Brewer and the Wolves, the NBA warned Love and Brewer for violating the league's anti-flopping policy.

Fraser Scott
Name: Fraser Scott
Born: 1948-01-01
Hometown: Seattle, Washington, USA
Stance: Orthodox
Height: 5′ 9″ / 175cm
Reach: 69″ / 175cm
Boxing Record: click
Manager: Joe West
Fraser Scott was a Middleweight contender of the late 1960's, who achieved a high rating with a cut-induced stoppage of former Light Middleweight champion Denny Moyer. Scott then unsuccesfully challenged Nino Benvenuti for the World Middleweight title, when he was disqualified in the 7th round in controversial fashion. Scott, who claimed he was fighting out of a crouch, had been accused of headbutting by the Italian referee. As was sometimes the case with American fighters, fighting in Europe, this was caused in part by differences in styles in Europe and America, with American fighters getting punished in some cases for fighting out of a crouch by foreign referees.
Scott also penned an autobiographical book about his boxing career entitled; Weighing In: The Selling of a Middleweight, which was published in 1974.

ATLANTA - According to a new Forbes magazine survey, Atlanta is the 16th most miserable city in the United States.
The list points to such factors as violent crime, unemployment, foreclosures, income and property taxes, home prices, commute times and the local weather. In past years, the list looked at such factors as pro sports team success and political corruption, but according to Forbes, those factors were dropped from consideration because they are more regional than city-specific issues.
One other factor being considered this year is "net migration," which the report says is a notion that tells whether local citizens feel a city is "worth living in."
While Atlanta is 16th on the list of 200 cities Forbes looked at, the top of the list was occupied by Detroit.
Here's the top 20 cities on the list:
- Detroit
- Flint, MI
- Rockford, IL
- Chicago
- Modesto, CA
- Vallejo, CA
- Warren, MI
- Stockton, CA
- Lake County, IL

Politics is about deviding up the cake, and who should get the biggest slice of the cake.
Economics is about how the make the cake bigger in the private sector.
In the British parliament it seems to be taboo to mention the subject of wealth creation.
I have been following politics for 40 years and I have yet to hear a single word of discussion of wealth creation in the British parliament.
But we are now in a dire economic crisis, and we must change the habits of a lifetime and talk about how and who creates the wealth in Britain.

FIRST LOOK: Naomi Watts stuns as Princess Di in Diana biopic
- From: news.com.au
- June 13, 2013
THE first teaser trailer for Diana, the 2013 biopic focusing on the last years of Princess Diana's life has been released online.
In the compelling clip, Oscar-nominee Naomi Watts bears a striking resemblance to the late Princess of Wales, complete with her signature cropped hairstyle and iconic wardrobe.
The minute-long preview promises one thing: "The legend is never the whole story."
The biopic will highlight Diana's humanitarian work, her constant battle with the paparazzi and her highly publicised relationship with Dr. Hasnat Khan, played by Naveen Andrews.
Told from the point of view of her bodyguard, Diana was directed by German filmmaker Oliver Hirschbiegel.
The long-awaited biopic doesn't have an official release date yet but is slated to open in the UK in September.

I couldn't find a rear shock protector so I purchased this to make it fit over my rear shock on a 2013 Specialized Camber (MTB). It works great! I had a rear shock protector on my last bike, which I rode for 12 years, and never had any failures of the shock (because it was protected from dust & dirt accumulating on the piston and contaminating the seals and fluid).

Hi Truespace Junkies!
By Velocity on Aug 10, 2001 05:53 AM
I was wondering if truespace has the same or similiar capabilities as 3d studio max. I have seen alot of truespace work and I can proudly say it is amazing! even the cost of the program is very cheap. :)
Re: Hi Truespace Junkies!
By JamesD on Aug 10, 2001 03:41 PM
I would say: Yes and no.
For animation, 3DS is much better. That is one area of major limitations with trueSpace.
For still images and the like, trueSpace actually does quite well. It's a fair modeler. The NURBS implementation is not quite "true" NURBS, but far closer in tS 5 then prior versions.
We do have bones, meta muscles, and a lot of those type of features. It's a good starting point, but not a replacement for 3DS.

By Magnatude on Jan 25, 2005 12:56 AM
You an do a lot with TS, plugins are a lot cheaper and they always send you upgrade specials. (Buy 5.2 for cheap and upgrade to 6.6 with their specials and save a ton of money)
The software is only as good as its user, and I've seen some pics made in trueSpace that rival ouput from Studio Max.
(so dont let fancy pictures dictate how awesome the software is).

Actually Truespace 7.6 is FREE.
What happened was Microsoft bought them out... and then Microsoft dumped the program.
So Roman has it available to download for free, including all of the video courses.
Have fun!
