Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Brandi Glanville: I'm "Shocked" That Lisa's Husband Touched Yolanda
There appears to be a ton of drama coming our way when Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 4 premieres on November 4. And Brandi Glanville is already sharing harsh words about one particularly contentious battle that we'll be seeing on the show.
In the Season 4 promo, the ladies — particularly Yolanda Foster and Kim Richards — seem to have a huge argument with Lisa Vanderpump's husband Ken Todd. At one point, Ken tells Yolanda, "You are so stupid," and then — when they are standing next to each other — Yolanda yells at him, "Don't touch me!" Yikes.
A Twitter follower asked Brandi how she felt about Yolanda and Ken's exchange, and Brandi was very much on Team Yolanda. "SHOCKED — a man should never lay a hand on a woman no matter what!" Brandi writes. "Yo is a classy lady and deserves respect."
When some of Brandi's Twitter followers then wondered why she and Lisa no longer see eye-to-eye, Brandi explained: "I love everyone but relationships have hiccups it doesn't stop the love. We all love each other.."
We had previously reported that Lisa had recently stopped following Yolanda on Twitter, along with the fact that Brandi and Lisa have reportedly stopped speaking to one another. So was this Yolanda-Ken tussle the reason for the feud? We can't wait until Season 4 begins on November 4 to find out!

50 Cent has responded to allegations that he was involved in a recent chain snatching of Slowbucks at New York radio station Hot 97's Summer Jam on June 1.
"Stop telling TMZ I can keep your chain Boy. I don't snatch chains,This don't make no sense.#smsaudio #animalambition," 50 says in the caption of an Instagram post.
50 elaborates on this further with the following statements, which appear in the Instagram post's video.
"Man, you ain't gonna believe this shit," 50 Cent says. "I just got confronted by an angry snitch. He was like, 'Yeah, I'm snitchin', nigga. And what. SBOE. Snitchin' Boy On Everything.' I'm sittin' there like, 'Damn, where'd all this come from? I thought you was cool, nigga.'"
50 Cent has been tied to a chain snatching that took place during his performance at Summer Jam 2014. Slowbucks reportedly was robbed during the set. He is launching an investigation against several people, including 50 Cent, according to reports.
50 Cent has said that he was unaware that Slowbucks had his chain snatched.
"I didn't even see it," 50 Cent said. "I was performing. People say everything. I look at MediaTakeOut see rumors and stuff like that. All those different things. But I've seen so many things about me that weren't true that—It's nothing Ang…People didn't leave the stage. The excitement of the show left everybody that was on the stage on the stage and additional people added on to it. So, it was like a crowd. It turned into—The music fit it too. It just felt like a park jam. It felt like—When I started I started with 'Rising To The Top.' And it was like for Queens it was one of those joints that's—Nas was like 'Yooo.' Lookin like 'You mothafucka'…It's all positive. All positive energy."
50 Cent reportedly wore Slow's chain during his Summer Jam 2014 set.

Groupon acquires Vancouver tech company to add Scheduler to mix
In September Techvibes reported that Groupon had acquired a Vancouver company but at the time could not confirm details. Multiple independent sources had told us that a Groupon acquistion of a BC-based company was imminent.
Today Groupon confirmed it in a press release that announced the pilot launch of Groupon Scheduler, the latest addition to its suite of merchant productivity tools. Groupon Scheduler is an online appointment service giving merchants an easy way to manage their schedules and accept bookings directly from consumers.
Groupon Scheduler is based on technology from Vancouver's OpenCal, a startup founded in 2009. OpenCal was officially acquired by Groupon in September 2011.
Techvibes readers may recall that OpenCal co-founder Arash Shiva wrote The Bootstrapper's Guide to Internet Startups as a guest post one year ago.
OpenCal launched officially at Launch Party Vancouver 10 in Deccember of 2010 and was cofounded by Shiva and Simon Vallee. Shiva and Vallee were founding members of Vancouver's Sitemasher which was acquired by Salesforce.

These first six weeks of my internship have flown by faster than ever, and it is already a huge task to pin point one moment that is the most memorable to me. I feel like every day I have been so lucky to experience something amazing while interning as a Merchandising Assistant Intern with Fashion Footwear at Zappos.
After day two of work, I was feeling super homesick and a little nervous in a new city. Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long due to the wonderful people on my team, and the relationship-building tactics that Zappos lives by. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and encouraging. By the end of day two, I was invited to my first vendor dinner, and had no idea what to expect. So as nervous (and excited) as I could possibly be, I got ready, and went on my way to dine with the vendor and representative from Kork-Ease along with my two managers.
Our dinner was located at SHe in Crystals at City Center, a restaurant right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip. It was unbelievably fancy, yet the dinner felt so relaxed; my nerves were alleviated almost immediately once it began. The meeting felt more like a social gathering with friends rather than any type of work gathering. The vendor and his rep were personable, and interested in who I was and what my dreams were. I didn't even think I was going to get the chance speak! At the end of the meal, our guests even proposed a toast to my success here at Zappos.
It is extremely rewarding to be part of a company that focuses so much on building relationships with both their consumers and vendors. It takes relationships and experiences like mine to maintain such strong bonds with all of the amazing vendors that are working with us at Zappos. It was amazing to be a part of this experience, and I don't think I could ever find another company that will care nearly as much about their employees or the partnerships. I will also never forget my first vendor dinner!

HP clears the path for open sourced WebOS
Will be open source this Autumn
TECHNOLOGY VENDOR HP has released its roadmap for making WebOS open source and is promising that it will be available in September.
The firm has wrestled with the operating system for a little while now, and it was only in December last year that it came to a decision about its future.
"WebOS is the only platform designed from the ground up to be mobile, cloud-connected and scalable," said HP president and CEO Meg Whitman then.
"By contributing this innovation, HP unleashes the creativity of the open source community to advance a new generation of applications and devices."
Today the company provided a timeline for action and released the source code for version 2.0 of Enyo, the WebOS developer tool. This code, and WebOS itself, will be made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
"HP is bringing the innovation of the webOS platform to the open source community," said Bill Veghte, EVP and chief strategy officer at HP.
"This is a decisive step toward meeting our goal of accelerating the platform's development and ensuring that its benefits will be delivered to the entire ecosystem of web applications."
Poor WebOS has been living in limbo since ex-CEO Leo Apotheker announced plans to drop it and the firm's PC business, although he was always less sure about the latter.
Today we learn that starting with the Enyo release we will see a trickle of release landmarks between now and Autumn that will culminate in September with the release of Open WebOS 1.0. µ

ALONG THE RED RIVER, ON THE OKLAHOMA-TEXAS BORDER, IN THE NOT-TOO-DISTANT FUTURE — A campaign event designed to showcase Paul Ryan's relatability went horribly wrong today when the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee unknowingly picked a fight he couldn't possibly win.
With time running out on the Republican Party's hopes to wrest the keys to the Oval Office from President Obama's sturdy grip, the Romney campaign appealed once more to the conservative base, as if convinced that the louder the cries of the mouth-breathing class the more of them would show up at the polls on November 6.
"For a Republican ticket that is ostensibly running on spread-sheet savvy to have no understanding whatsoever that they cannot possibly win without the support of independent voters is truly unbelievable," Lawrence O'Donnell, the host of MSNBC's The Last Word, said recently. "It is absolutely stunning how completely math illiterate the Romney-Ryan campaign is when it comes to the American electorate."
For the Romney-Ryan ticket, the road to the Republican National Convention in Tampa was seemingly paved with banana peels. Their almost inconceivable inability to talk individually about anything substantive without sounding like Helen Keller at a spelling bee was lost on campaign advisers who might as well have been running a puppet show for methamphetamine addicts. Even Ryan's mother, Betty Douglas, could see that her son and Romney had made total jackasses of themselves.
According to a Romney-Ryan campaign intern who spoke on condition of anonymity, "Ryan's mom told us to show the world 'who Paul really is.'"
It was at that point that boneheaded Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom sent Ryan to the vice presidential candidate's ranch on the Oklahoma-Texas border for a photo-op the campaign hoped would prove to gullible, knuckle-dragging voters that Ryan was every bit the everyman they'd been waiting for.
"Our internal polling shows us that everyone in America despises Mitt Romney," Fehrnstrom told Ryan, according to the above-mentioned intern. "And your numbers are headed in the same direction. Between the two of you, we've ceded every demographic to the Obama reelection campaign with the exception of the drooling class."
With Romney looking like a bobblehead doll with Tourette's syndrome every time he opened his mouth, the campaign brain trust in Boston decided it was time to listen to Ryan's mother and stir the emotions of America's bottom-feeders. And what better way to do that, Fehrnstrom and company believed, than to have Ryan do a little catfish noodling for the cameras. Ryan, after all, had been quoted by the Houston Chronicle as saying he'd fight for "a man's right to catch a catfish with his own bare hands."
After several days of "somewhat supporting" and "not necessarily supporting" Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) after the Republican Senate hopeful explained his views on women's reproductive rights by way of his vast expertise in cases of "legitimate rape," Romney was sent by his handlers to an undisclosed location in the south of France to masturbate to images of recently auctioned dressage horses.
With Romney temporarily out of the public eye, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told reporters that "neither President Obama nor Vice President Biden understands anything about catfish noodling. Paul Ryan is serious about catfish noodling. He's a true American Neanderthal and he's going to prove it right now."
Priebus told reporters to "watch and learn," because Ryan would not be providing any "specific details" about how he learned to noodle or how he goes about noodling.
Priebus would not comment on reports that Americans for Prosperity had stocked America's red-state rivers with massive, steroid-fed flathead catfish to capitalize on Ryan's catfish noodling demonstration by luring new, dim-witted voters to the water's edge.
But Ryan was in way over his head. No sooner had the window-licking vice presidential candidate plunged into the Red River with a syphilitic smile on his face than a totally ripped and bulked-up catfish shoved a fin down Ryan's throat and asked, rhetorically, "How's that P90X working for you now, tough guy?"
Priebus immediately smashed a photographer's camera with a Ronald Reagan statuette and shredded a reporter's notebook with his teeth. But the damage had been done.
While the Red River's catfish population swam in synchronicity to the cathartic music of Rage Against the Machine, Fehrnstrom circled the wagons back in Boston and prepared to announce that George Zimmerman would replace Ryan as the Republican Party's vice presidential candidate.

HEATH SPRINGS – Less than two weeks after being released on bond for a violent crime in February, a man has been arrested for two brutal murders near his Heath Springs neighborhood.
Arkeves Jimon Cauthen, 28, of 201 Reeves St., was charged in the murder of 54-year-old Sandra Johnson on Wednesday. On Thursday, Cauthen was charged with murdering 71-year-old John Harden Duncan, whose body was found Wednesday night.
When Crystal Robinson Fields died Wednesday, the state lost the "most extraordinary advocate for the rights of ESOL children," according to a former co-worker.
Fields, 48, of Lancaster died unexpectedly Wednesday at Trident Medical Center in North Charleston.
Twenty-two adult-education students wearing different colored caps and gowns graduated Wednesday night at Lancaster High School.
They represented 22 different ways to get to their destination.
Holding up a cell phone during his speech, keynote speaker Rev. AnThony Pelham told the graduates, "Without an address, GPS is no good."
These adult graduates definitely had this destination dialed in, and it led them through life's backroads and detours. For some, the journey took a few months. For others, a few years.
Lancaster High School senior Adam Bailey got some good news earlier this week.
Once all the grades were figured in, Bailey was named salutatorian for the LHS Class of 2016.
The bad news is the change in class rank impacted Marci Morrow.
Morrow is Bailey's girlfriend. The two have been dating since the summer between their sophomore and junior years.
His final GPA is 5.344. Hers is 5.335.
Morrow wasn't a bit surprised by the change.
The S.C. Society of the Sons of the American Revolution will commemorate the 236th anniversary of the Battle of Waxhaws, better known as Buford's Massacre, at the battle site Saturday.
The event starts at 10:30 a.m. on Rocky River Road just south of Buford Crossroads, about 9 miles east of Lancaster.
GREAT FALLS – You might describe this year's Flopeye Fish Festival in Great Falls as "booming," in more ways than one.
A Civil War cannon, known as The Chester Gun, will sound as the 33rd-annual Flopeye Fish Festival kicks off opening ceremonies around 9 a.m. Saturday. The cannon will blast at other times during the day.
Then Saturday around 8:30 p.m., loud booms will sound and bursts of light will be visible during the 100th birthday celebration of Duke Energy's Fishing Creek Dam.
The four Lancaster Police Department officers who saved the lives of two children in a April 22 house fire were honored by city council Tuesday night.
Sgts. Dustynn Burlingame, Dale Johnson and Kenneth Warlick and Lt. Dean Short received lifesaving awards from the S.C. Police Chiefs Association.
Lancaster police Capt. Scott Grant lauded the four for making the right decisions in a chaotic moment.
I love to read those great stories in the Bible of adventure, intrigue and excitement. Stories that trace the steps of people who lived life to the fullest, facing insurmountable odds and overwhelming obstacles.
Their stories have been saved for future generations to read, enjoy and learn. What am I supposed to learn from the story of Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Peter, Paul, Jesus or countless others?
The newly crowned state champion Buford High School softball team drew the maroon and gold spotlight at the annual Jackets spring-winter sports awards on Tuesday night in the BHS gym.
The Lady Jackets, 24-5, defeated Class AA Lower State champion Dillon, 2-1 to capture the best-of-three series, 2-1. The BHS team, which went 8-1 in postseason play, captured the Region IV-AA softball crown with a 12-0 mark and the Class AA Upstate championship with six straight wins.

In a setback to the family of Serbian pilot Captain Zlatko Glusica, who was killed in the May 22, 2010, Air India (AI) flight crash in Mangalore, the Bombay High Court (HC) Wednesday stayed a lower court order granting a compensation of over Rs 4 crore.
Air India had challenged the October 13, 2013, order of the Mumbai Labour Commissioner to deposit Rs 4.63 crore with 12 per cent interest and a penalty of 50 per cent. Rs 2.77 crore has been already given to the Belgrade-based family of the pilot who was flying the ill-fated aircraft.
Appearing before Justice R P Sondurbaldota, AI counsel Firoz Bharucha contended that the Labour Commissioner erred in computing the compensation amount. He said Glusica was drawing a salary of $9,170, not $11,000 as held by the labour court. Bharucha said the lower court failed to appreciate that the compensation has to be calculated on the basis of actual salary received by Glusica, not on the basis of the amount paid by AI to the contractor through whom the pilot was hired.
He also contended that there was no question of paying interest or penalty as interest should be calculated from the day compensation is decided, not from the date of accident.
The HC was also told that AI deposited Rs 3.32 crore with the labour court on September 27, 2012, much before its verdict, and therefore, the rate of currency exchange $ to Re of that period shall apply.
Lawyer for the Glusica family B K Ashok pleaded for expediting the matter. The court, however, did not specify a time limit.
AI has said it hired Glusica from a contractor on January 7, 2009, on a monthly salary of $9,170. He was killed with five other crew members and 152 passengers when the AI Boeing VT-AXV 737-800 from Dubai crashed in Mangalore.

Complete Schedule in PDF Format
2011 NIU Football Schedule
DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois Huskies will play seven home games for the first time since 2003, including a first-ever home game versus Wisconsin at Chicago's Soldier Field, and be featured at least three times on ESPN national networks, highlighting the Huskies' 2011 football schedule released Monday by NIU and the Mid-American Conference.
For the third straight season, Northern Illinois will play all four of its non-conference opponents in September prior to opening league play on October 1. In addition to its West Division opponents, the Huskies will play MAC East foes Kent State (at home), while traveling to Buffalo and Bowling Green for the first time since the 2003 season.
The Huskies' first eight games will be played on Saturdays in September and October before NIU becomes one of ESPN's featured teams in November with three straight Tuesday night appearances. Northern Illinois, along with most of the Mid-American Conference teams, plays its final regular season game on Friday, Nov. 25 in preparation for the MAC Championship game in Detroit one week later.
The Huskies' 2011 campaign opens on Saturday, Sept. 3 as Army makes its first appearance at Huskie Stadium in the first half of a home-and-home series between the teams. Army leads the all-time series 1-0 with a 1992 victory over NIU at West Point.
The next week, the Huskies play their only non-conference road game of the season with a visit to Lawrence, Kansas for a Sept. 10 meeting with the Jayhawks. The meeting between NIU and KU is only the second all-time, and the first since Northern Illinois defeated Kansas, 37-34, in the 1983 season opener in Lawrence.
Wisconsin, which comes to Chicago on Sept. 17 for Soldier Field Showdown II, has been NIU's most-frequent Big Ten Conference opponent over the years. The 2011 game marks the first time in 13 meetings with UW dating back to 1972 that Northern Illinois will be designated as the home team. Northern Illinois played the first Soldier Field Showdown versus Iowa on Sept. 1, 2007 in front of a sell-out crowd at the historic Chicago site.
The non-conference schedule closes out on Sept. 24 as Cal-Poly, which compiled a 7-4 record a year ago and claimed a victory over Football Championship Subdivision power Montana, visits Huskie Stadium for the first meeting between the teams.
"I am excited to have three local non-conference games in September so our fans have a chance to get an early look at our team," said new NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren. "In addition, playing our only early road game at Kansas versus a Big 12 opponent in an area where we recruit actively, is good for us. Facing two bowl teams in Army and Wisconsin early in the season is a big challenge and sets the stage for the level of football we're going to have to play once we get into conference play."
Northern Illinois opens Mid-American Conference play on Saturday, Oct. 1 at Central Michigan before returning to Huskie Stadium to face Kent State (Oct. 8) and Western Michigan (Oct. 15) on back-to-back October Saturdays. Western Michigan has been designated as the Homecoming game as Northern Illinois will celebrate its 105th Homecoming in 2011. NIU closes out October with a trip to Buffalo on Oct. 22.
"Knowing that NIU is coming off of a great season, we're not going to sneak up on anybody," Doeren said. "We are going to have to play our best each and every week, no matter who we are playing, to reach all of our goals."
The Huskies' run of televised November games begins Tuesday, Nov. 1 with an ESPN2 contest at Toledo, which will kickoff at 6 p.m. (Central Time). The next Tuesday, Northern Illinois is at Bowling Green for a 7 p.m. (CT) game that will air on either ESPNU or ESPN2.
On Tuesday, Nov. 15, the Huskies play host to Ball State in a 7 p.m. (CT) game on ESPNU. The contest is the lone Tuesday home game of the season for NIU and precedes the season-finale versus Eastern Michigan on Friday, Nov. 25 in DeKalb. Amazingly, Northern Illinois has not played a home game on the Friday after Thanksgiving since the MAC went to that schedule.
"What excites me about the November schedule is that we come off the bye week and then we play three straight Tuesday games with all of them on ESPN. When we come off the bye week, each week is identical. From a coaching and team standpoint, that helps because we can establish a routine," Doeren said. "Those games are also huge for recruiting and exposure because we'll be the only game on TV. Every football player and coach in the country coming home from practice will turn on the TV and we'll be there. It's a national opportunity for us to showcase the Huskies, and when you get to do it for three straight weeks that's a big-time opportunity for our program."
Northern Illinois returns 13 starters, including nine on offense, off the 2010 team that set the school record for victories in a season with 11, swept through its MAC regular season schedule undefeated to win the MAC West title and capped the year with a victory over Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl.
Season tickets for the Huskies 2011 campaign are on sale now through NIU Athletics and online at www.NIUHuskies.com and at www.huskiefootball2011.com. Season tickets are just $99 for all six home games at Huskie Stadium with discounts available for senior citizens, NIU Alumni Association and NIU Varsity Club (former letterwinners) members. The three-game mini-plan, which allows each individual to choose their games, is available for just $50. Both new and renewing full season tickets holders for 2011, as well as Huskie Athletic Support Fund members, have the opportunity to order their tickets now to Soldier Field Showdown II, the NIU-Wisconsin game on Sept. 17.

On my stay Vienna was boiling hot and there's no fun in the rooms, tip don't use the duvet, only the sheet you should put around it. Really clean, it has a lift, it has lockers in the rooms suitcase size, you have to use your own lock or you can rent one.Great location,near by a main pedestrain street full of shops and westbanhof stn and a stroll to the centre "

- " Good hostel, clean and helpful staff, I arrived earlier than check in but was allowed to leave my stuff in their luggage room and come back that night and pay (they only take cash not card). Very good location, about a 15min walk to the Museumsquartier, and it's very close (5min walk) to Westbahnhof so I recommend if you're coming from Eastern Europe such as Munich to get off at this stop instead of Wien Hauptbahnhof as it's much much closer! Free sheets and breakfast only through their website "

- " Great hostel, clean and well located. Breakfast is a bit too expensive for what you offer (5 Euros ans just bread/cereals, milk, coffe-tea, butter and jam). For 2 or 3 euros it would be fine. "

- " Really close to Mariahilfer Strase (big and major shopping street) and also Westbahnhof. Otherwise maybe 20min walk in to central Vienna, 20 min in the other direction to Schönbrunn Castle. No facilities for your own cooking, two cooling boxes where you could store some small items. They had breakfast you could buy for 4 euro, dont know what it was cus I never had it. Wifi was good for most of the time I was there. Beds were also ok! "

A mixed young and old Stags side kicked off and immediately win a scrum as Tottonians knock on, from the scrum Newbury put pressure on the Tottonians defence but are unable to put points on the board, eventually knocking on allowing Tottonians to win the scrum and kick out of defence. From this kick Newbury run the ball back at Tottonians and after several phases of attacking play Newbury win a penalty which D. Jones slots over 3-0 (8 mins). Tottonians re-gather the ball from the kick off and attack the Newbury defence but spill the ball allowing T.Martin to kick and chase back to the Tottonians 22 but give away a penalty allowing Tottonians to kick to safety. Newbury steal the ball and set their backs off in a sweeping attack but unfortunately knocking on a couple of meters short of the line allowing Tottonians to take the scrum and kick to safety. Newbury win the line out and pass the ball through the backs allowing
T. Martin to round the defence to score 8-0 (12mins). Newbury attack from the kick off and after several phases of forward play D. Jones puts a kick into Tottonians 22 the chasing Newbury players put enough pressure on the Tottonians defence to steal the ball allowing S. Denner to break through the defence and make the final fifteen meters to score under the posts D. Jones converting 15-0 (16 mins). Newbury lose the ball from the kick off but manage to steal it back when M. Spencer intercepted a Tottonian pass making good yards before popping the ball to J. Walsh to go over wide out on the right hand side 20-0 (20 mins)
Tottonians seemed to be stung into action after this score and put the Newbury defence under a sustained period of pressure eventually passing the ball through their backs to score wide out on the left 20-5 (25 mins).
After several mistakes from both sides and possession changing hands Tottonians keep the ball and make the break through to score and convert 20-12 (30 mins). Newbury had allowed Tottonians back into the game and things got worse as Tottonians kept up the pressure on the Newbury defence eventually breaking through several Newbury tackles to score and convert 20-19 (37 mins).. This seemed to wake up Newbury and straight from kick off they managed to force Tottonians to knock on allowing the forwards to win the scrum and after several good runs from the backs the forwards took over and good yards are made by R. Moore. E. Thomas and C. Hawkins before allowing B. Trott to crash through the last tackles to score wide out on the right, 25-19 (half time).
W. Smith coming on for S. Paice the only half time change.
Tottonians kick off the second half and put Newbury under pressure but a great clearing kick from T. Flynn takes play back into the Tottonians half, Tottonians win the line out and attack through their backs but lose the ball allowing S. Denner to make good yards before kicking ahead, the chasing M. Spencer carries on with another grubber kick but is taken out by a late tackle the ref allows play to continue as T Birch wins the race to touch the ball down under the posts, D. Jones converting, 32-19 (45 mins) For the next few minutes both sides attack, W. Smith at scrum half spreading the passes out to the backs but both sides either knock on or lose the ball, some great tackles from the Newbury forwards especially J. Walsh and J. Bull stops the Tottonians attacks then a good run from T. Martin gets Newbury into Tottonians 22 but an unlucky offside from a cross field kick means no try and a penalty to Tottonians. Both E. Thomas and B. Trott have to come off injured so S. Paice has to return to the field and Newbury are down to 14. Matters get even worse when a few minutes later T. Birch injures his shoulder and has to come off, luckily G. Caskey comes over from the A's so Newbury remain at 14. Tottonians seize this opportunity of a man advantage and spend several minutes camped in Newbury's 22 before eventually scoring and converting 32-26 (62 mins). Tottonians keep up the pressure on Newbury but a great interception and 50yd run from M. Paice means Newbury get the score and a 13 point difference again 39-26 (69 mins). J. Crawford comes on from the A's to get Newbury back to 15. Tottonians don't give up and after several phases get the ball out through their backs to go over wide out luckily the conversion goes just wide 39-31 (76 mins). After a couple of minutes of midfield play Newbury get the ball and launch one final attack but a forward pass in Tottonians 22 mean Tottonians get a scrum, from this scrum the Tottonians clearing kick does not find touch instead it drops into J. Futchers hands who runs 30 yds through the despairing Tottonians defence to score wide out on the left, the narrowly missed conversion brings the final whistle 44-31.
Man of the Match was given to Jack WALSH for his solid tackling
B. Trott, T. Flynn, R. Moore, C. Hawkins, J. Bull, T. Birch, E. Thomas,

high CPU usage on Windows 7
I have searched the forums and the internet and even contacted Microsoft customer support but cannot find any help. I upgraded my Pavillion a6720y from Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium a couple of months ago. I guess I was the only person that never encountered a problem with Vista so I was expecting a smooth transition to Windows 7. The problem that I am experiencing with my HP desktop is very high CPU usage after some random period of low usage after it is first turned on. The CPU usage goes from a few percent to high 80's to mid 90's and everything slows down to a crawl. This random period can go from minutes to days. Shutting the system completely down works most of the time. When checking Task Manager, no processes indicate high usage at all with processes running less than a few percentages after an initial spike after starting a program. When I check "Show processes from all users", the only high CPU usage is with System Idle Process and nothing else. I've redone the upgrade couple of times and then finally bit the bullet and did a clean install, but nothing helps. I've kept track of the Processes and the Services in Task Manager that are running when it is in low CPU usage and after it goes into high CPU usage and nothing changes. I've tried too many things on my own to mention here, but would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have. My hardware specs are as follows:

Aftermath of the L'Aquila earthquake.
17 September 2010
On 6 April 2009, the historical city of L'Aquila in central Italy suffered a 6.3-magnitude earthquake. The town's 'red zone' is a forbidden area, still too dangerous for people to return to their homes. The Fault Line living team – winners of the Royal Geographical Society's 'Go Beyond' bursary – got special permission to film there.
In mid-September we arrived in L'Aquila and got special permission to see the devastated red zone first-hand. It was a moving experience.
We arrived to see washing blowing in the wind, long-since dried. A child's toy lay abandoned in a pile of rubble, an entire bathroom hung at an impossible angle from a decimated apartment block. On every street corner we saw the haunting signs of a city abandoned in minutes, as people fled their houses in the early hours of the morning.
An abandoned toy in L'Aquila.
The 6.3-magnitude earthquake that hit L'Aquila in April 2009 killed 308 people and more than 65,000 were forced to decamp to temporary tented cities, coastal resorts and even empty trains, in what was to become one of Italy's most catastrophic natural disasters in recent times.
With the help of geologist Dr Gerald Roberts from Birkbeck, University of London, and Eutizio Vittori of the Geological Survey of Italy, we were able to gain access into the 'red zone' – a forbidden area in the centre of the city still completely abandoned a year and half since the earthquake.
Walking around the red zone, it's hard to picture the city in all its former glory. Once-charming piazzas now resemble building sites, with piles of masonry stacked high. Rows of portaloos line the streets. Beautiful medieval houses are propped up with complex scaffolding and wooden beams. A stunning 13th-century church, riddled with cracks and holes, is defying all odds to remain upright. Most striking of all, however, is the fact that these buildings were, and still are, people's homes. People have planned to carry out their lives here and now, though they aren't technically homeless, they are demanding their homes back. Here lies the difference between a house and a home. The people of L'Aquila have been rehoused, but they want their homes back.
Eutizio helped us understand the broader context around the issue of restoration for L'Aquila, which is one of many towns which are close to fault lines in Italy:
The restoration of L'Aquila requires a lot of money but this is the same for many towns in central and southern Italy. Why to intervene in L'Aquila or Naples or in other towns in Sicily and so on? Where to start? But we have to start. We have to take action. We still haven't taken direct action here. We are still lagging behind and we have to be faster because an earthquake can arrive at any moment.
With an estimated 11,000 buildings needing reconstruction, the question quickly becomes what is the future for such a place? Fearing their city might become a latter-day Pompeii, the locals have staged numerous sit-ins and vigils to galvanise the government into taking action. Certainly from an outsider's perspective the sheer scale of the restoration effort seems insurmountable, but there was precious hope from Eutizio:
Fault Line Living report on the devastation at L'Aquila caused by the 2009 earthquake.
The future for L'Aquila in one sense is certain. I am completely positive that this town will be rebuilt and restored as it was before. I am sure of this because the people of L'Aquila deserve this. I don't think they will give up. But to say when this will happen is difficult. Action has been taken, work is going on, but the real job of the restoration is what people want. If other problems in the country arrive, then maybe L'Aquila will remain behind, but I am sure it will happen in the end. L'Aquila will again be the beautiful historical town it was before the earthquake.
You can catch up on our Icelandic experiences on our Planet Earth blog and our website, and keep following as we continue through Italy and beyond.
Special thanks to:Dr Gerald Roberts, reader in earthquake geology at Birkbeck, University of London, who has spent 15 years studying the fault lines in AbruzzoEutizio Vittori, Natural Hazards Unit, Geological Survey of Italy

Chalese Fankhauser had a triple and double Saturday against Seattle.
Feb. 9, 2013
ST. GEORGE, Utah - Junior center fielder Chalese Fankhauser went 2-for-3 at the plate with one RBI, but the University of Utah softball team lost a 6-3 decision to Seattle on Saturday in its third game of the Red Desert Classic on Saturday at the Canyons Complex.
Utah (2-1) was led by Fankhauser, who hit her second double of the season and the eighth of her career to go with her third career triple, her first season The South Jordan, Utah native has two RBI over her career and 42 for her career.
Four other Utes had hits, including senior second baseman Jackie Sweet's 13th career double and singles by junior third baseman Taylor Austin, and sophomore outfielders Kate Dickman and Marissa Mendenhall.
Sophomore Mariah Ramirez made her second start of the season and went 5.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on seven hits while striking out a pair. Junior Naomi Amu was dealt the loss in the decision after giving up three earned runs on four hits in 0.2 innings. Freshman Kayce Nieto made her Ute debut as she threw the final 0.2 innings against the Red Hawks where she yielded one hit.
There were a pair of ties in the final two innings in the back-and-forth affair as Austin popped a single to left field then moved to second baseman after a sacrifice bunt by senior catcher Shay Shaum before Fankhauser lined a double off the left-center field fence to open the scoring.
In the fourth frame, senior first baseman Katelyn Elliott drew a leadoff walk and senior Sandi Fawson came on to pinch run. Mendenhall singled that allowed Fawson second base and then she advanced to third base after a sacrifice bunt by Sweet. Shelbi Everett then earned her first RBI of the season after knocking a line drive back up the middle that was deflected by the Seattle pitcher and fielded by the Redhawk shortstop, who was able to throw Everett out at first base.
The Utes conclude their Red Desert Classic schedule with a doubleheader tomorrow starting against Arkansas at 10 a.m. MT, and Nevada at 1:30 p.m. MT. Live stats will be provided by Gametracker at utahutes.com.

I am seeking to purchase a stock steel (CroMoly or Reynolds 501) MTB hardtail frame and fork, new (not used).
What or who would be a good source for same?

Surly and Salsa both make them, Nashbar might have one as well?
I had a Surly 1x1 at one point that I really liked. SS, but was really nice to ride. I would be interested in trying out a Karate Monkey (but it's a 29er).
Do you have any contact information for Columbus? A URL perhaps?

I believe Marin uses columbus tubing on their steel frames.
looks like the english part is down at the moment. i have the zona something steel tubing by them. i love them...but i am not a metallurgist or anything.
ask the guys in the frame building section about steel brands. a guy named falanx or something like that is good with metals i think. you might want to pm him.
also try a columbus search in the frame building section too...
i am not saying their stuff is better...but i like their white dove emblem. i have a carbon road fork by them as well... it is very light and seems to be an excellent fork.
cove are made in british columbia, that is kind of cool as well.
it depends on what type of bike you're wanting to build. if you're going budget, Nashbar's is pretty good, and a lot of time they're on sale for under $100. plus, they are generically painted, which is a plus.

S&M isn't so cool when its just yourself. If I handcuff myself to my bed who's going to set me free?
Also, in the same $800 price range is the Habanero Ti. Granted, it is not steel - but it is definately not aluminum or carbon, and closer to steel as an alternative.
However, it is not just about strength. It's also about flexibility. That's one reason their 501 tubing was so popular in the 1980's.
At a time when both 501 and 531 were offered, I recall reading something somewhere that said 531 was stiffer than 501 and therefore not suitable for touring bicycles.
I have had a life long battle with LBSs whose personnel all seem to be racers and who can think only in terms of racing. Most often, what's good for a racer is NOT good for a tourer. They claim to be able to service a tourer, but it soon boils down to pushing whatever is in the shop.

Looks like Nashbar still has a full range of sizes in their 853 hardtail. Reynolds, pretty light, AND orange! Not a bad deal for under 300 bones.
I like bikes.
jenson has em.
Don't take personal offense, because you are likely repeating something you heard, but that is total and complete CRAP.
Garden shovels, knife blades, bed springs, truck frames, I-beams and bike frames are all made of steel that has basically the same "stiffness" factor. In other words, steel is steel, from a stiffness perspective. In the engineering world, the stiffness term is Modulus of Elasticity (E), and for steel, 29 x 10^6 psi. Higher grade steels, heat treating, and better processing (forging, cold working, etc.) get you higher yield strength (stress at which plastic deformation first takes place), and ultimate strength (stress that will generate complete failure). From a strength perspective, there are large differences.
Better steel simply means you can use less of it, and can stress it higher before bad things begin to happen. Note also that stiffness of frame has as much to do with geometry, both of the tube and the construct, as the Modulus of the selected material. This is why a featherweight frame of beer can thickness aluminum can rattle your fillings out, and a twice as heavy steel frame may just be the most comfortable frame that you've ever experienced. FWIW, the modulus and density of aluminum are about 1/3 that of steel. Yield strength of a couple of the alloys, 2024 and 7075 come to mind, are well into steel territory. Doesn't make it better or worse though.

not sure about marin, but another thing i considered while looking for a steel HT was NO brake bosses on the rear stays.
believe it or not, this is harder than you think to find. Cove was disc specific and clean...

They were misleading you. I still ride my 531 road bike I bought in 1985, and the general complaint about 531 road bikes today is that they were not stiff enough for racers. 501 was the less expensive model and generally 'entry level', while 531 was a step up in performance. 501 was one step above the HiTen steel used in Huffy's, and probably equal to Tange and CroMo.
zion frames have no bosses. just saying. and they are on sale.
okay, okay, I am shutting up.

I upgraded to 6.04 yesterday and had some issues with mailboxd not running but that was fixed with newly generated certificates and it is now running. Now the UI modules for Backup and creating Self Signed Certificates are gone from my admin GUI.
It indicates they are deployed and running but there is not a UI for either. Any suggestions?

Donald Gilmore was born on February 10, 1944, to James and Delores Gilmore in Grenada, MS.
Donald, or "Donny" as he was nicknamed, had two older brothers. He never spent a lot of time with either of them.
Both of his parents had to work to support the boys, and Donny had a lot of alone time. He didn't have any real friends until he started to school. Even then, only a few. He never brought them home with him because his family was poor and he was ashamed of the house.
Neither his brothers nor his parents helped him with schoolwork, so Donny made below average grades. He didn't care because he knew he'd never have the money to go to college. He knew of no one in his family that graduated high school, let alone college.
Donny's family moved to Oxford when he was 16, and he got a job at McDonald's. He was working there when he met his future wife, Judith Smaltz. After they were married, they both had to work, just as his parents did.
Donny and Judith had a happy marriage, with one son, Kevin, born on March 26, 1967. Even though money was in short supply, they felt complete. They had lost contact with both of their families, so they had no outside help.
Donny worked at odd jobs around Oxford. He joined a local baseball team, and Judy and Kevin were always sitting in the bleachers. Kevin loved to play baseball too, and he always wore a mitt. Donny practiced with him any time he could.
In the evenings when there weren't any sports going on, they would sit around the kitchen table and play board games. They didn't consider their life as boring or routine. They were just happy to have one another.
When his son Kevin received an athletic scholarship to the University of Mississippi, Donny was proud and bragged about Kevin to everyone he saw.
In December of 1987, Donny and Judy were informed by Detective David Anderson that their son's body had been found on the side of Hathorn Road in Oxford. Their lives changed drastically.
Not only was Donny having to deal with his son's death, but Judy lost the will to go on and they grew apart. Donny tried to help, but eventually gave up and spent more and more time away from home. The house became like a morgue and he couldn't bear it.
He and his wife were almost strangers for several years before Judy returned to her old self. Life slowly improved as Judy adjusted to life without Kevin. In 1994, he helped Judy get a loan to open her own business.
Donny still worked at odd jobs until Judy's business, a bakery, grew enough that he had to help her. He even traded in his old pick-up truck for a much newer one, and in 2001, they bought their own home. Even though the memories of Kevin often brought him to tears, he never gave up hope that Kevin's murderer would be brought to justice. He told people that everything was okay now that he and Judy were working together again.
He had always kept in touch with Detective Anderson, but he was shocked when he read an article that said the discovery of a hidden room at one of the Ole Miss Physical Plant buildings could possibly be connected to his son's death in 1987.

Man knows not his time
Obituary | Nelson Mandela: 1918-2013
Nelson Mandela endured three months of hospitalization before going home to die at age 95 on Dec. 5, but South Africa's former president had known far greater confinement.
Section B at Robben Island Prison was Mandela's home for 18 years. During that time he came to represent black South Africans' struggle against apartheid, South Africa's elaborate system of discrimination that denied blacks jobs, education, and even the right to vote.
Mandela already had been active for 20 years in the anti-apartheid African National Congress (ANC) when authorities sent him to Robben Island in 1962 on a life sentence for his political activity. Mandela would spend 27 years in prison altogether, most of them at Robben, a 40-minute ride across the water from Cape Town, accessible only by boat and dubbed by ANC the last outpost in the apartheid system.
Prison officials allowed Mandela out of an 8-foot cell each morning to empty his toilet bucket outside, then to walk in a cramped courtyard for a few minutes. Over time he won permission to tend his own small garden in the courtyard in the afternoons. He contracted tuberculosis, and during 13 years working in a limestone mine came near to blindness from hours spent chipping at white rock beneath a blazing sun.
Yet Mandela managed to dupe the censors, and with fellow ANC inmates (three later become presidents) fanned a revolution from inside his prison walls. Mandela's 2010 book, Conversations with Myself, revealed the extent to which he was able to communicate with his wife at the time, activist Winnie Mandela, and others to draw international attention to the plight of the black majority in South Africa.
At birth the village name Mandela received, "Rolihlahla," meant troublemaker. He was baptized in a Methodist church and became the first member of his family to attend school. While he learned African history from the elder chiefs, he studied English and Xhosa, and later excelled at track and boxing at a Wesleyan mission school. At 16, Mandela was circumcised according to tribal tradition. Attending the only university open to blacks at the time, he studied Dutch law, anticipating a career in civil service. But in 1942, feeling the brunt of rights denied blacks under apartheid, he joined the African National Congress. He spent the next 20 years organizing and then leading boycotts and other forms of civil disobedience against South Africa's white-led government.
The ANC had links to communist leaders and guerrilla movements during the Cold War, as Mandela led political activities and also helped it form an armed offshoot. He was first arrested for leading a nationwide strike but received a life sentence for political crimes and sabotage.
But the white Afrikaaner government, eventually isolated by economic sanctions and international scorn, was by 1986 entering into secret talks with Mandela aimed at charting a path toward majority-led government. Hard-liners within his own ANC, as well as the white-ruled government, disapproved, yet the talks led to historic negotiations with President F.W. de Klerk, and Mandela's 1990 release.
Mandela shared a joint Nobel Peace Prize with de Klerk in 1993, following successful negotiations toward an interim constitution that for the first time gave blacks the right to vote. It marked the peaceful termination of a system that led to violence and the deaths of thousands. In 1994, following the first election in which he and other blacks were allowed to vote, Mandela became president. De Klerk became his deputy, and the two steered a historic transition to democratic government.
In office Mandela learned to appreciate those he scorned in his Marxist-leaning days, including businessmen: "I realized, as never before, that if we want investments … we had to remove the fear of business that their assets will be nationalized." Mandela could have become a dictator, but he stepped down in 1999, after only one term, never again to run for office, and assumed in his 80s a role as elder statesman. He kept at arm's length scandals and corruption in the administration of his successors, all members of the ANC.
Weakened by tuberculosis, Mandela in recent years struggled with recurring lung infections. Robben Island is now a museum reached by regular ferry service and crowded with tourists. They come from all over the world to see the tiny cell of the man now affectionately known as "Madiba," and to recall that sometimes systematic oppression and injustice meet their just end.

The World's Most Powerful MamasSierra Black
Forbe's has just declared Michlle Obama the most powerful woman in the world. Let's assume for the moment they're correct (my colleague Robin makes a strong case that they're not). That would also make Ms. Obama the most powerful mama in the world.
I know I consider it a good, even great, day if I can write a few stories, do a load of laundry and get my kids fed. Michelle Obama has people to do a lot of the mundane stuff for her – I bet she doesn't have to fold her family's socks.
But still: she's a lawyer, who set aside her own high-powered career to help her husband run the free world. Sometimes when I'm feeling really ambitious, I help my husband run errands.
From political powerhouses like Obama and Clinton to pop stars like Lady Gaga, there are some mighty moms on Forbes list.
It's impressive to see the mothers on this list for two reasons:
1. As I said, I consider it a good day when everyone goes to bed clean and fed. My bar may be pretty low, but I know firsthand how hard it is to raise a child. To do that AND be a public figure engaged in government, running a company or changing the face of pop culture is pretty awe-inspiring. If I wore hats, I'd be doffing mine to all these ladies.
2. These moms are breaking a special glass ceiling. Next time I go into a job interview, I'll be less afraid that my kids will cost me my shot at the job I want. Seeing moms in the spotlight, being famous and powerful for something other than their ability to produce and raise kids, makes all of us a little more powerful. It's a step towards making motherhood a bit more like fatherhood: a precious and private part of family life, not the all-encompassing definition of who a woman is.
