Thunder loses Ibaka
Oklahoma City defensive specialist Serge Ibaka is expected to miss the rest of the NBA playoffs because of a left calf injury.
The 6-foot-10 forward had an MRI on Friday, a day after the Thunder eliminated the Los Angeles Clippers and advanced to the Western Conference finals against the Spurs. Game 1 is Monday night in San Antonio. Thunder general manager Sam Presti called it a Grade 2 strain of the plantaris, which takes time to heal and strengthen because of a high re-injury rate.

I am writing an Eclipse RCP application in which multiple threads will update the user on progress each through its own progress bar in the GUI. I have been told that to allow each to individually update its own progress bar is to potentially cause a conflict over a shared resource (one of the parent the progress bars such as the Shell, I suppose). Is this true?
It was suggested to me that I created an intermediary class with synchronized methods that will act as a serializing funnel for update calls from the threads. Is this a solution? Can you offer a better solution?

Live Results DeKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois University track & field team goes back to Big Ten territory this weekend when they head up to Madison, Wis., for the Wisconsin Elite Invitational. The meet begins Friday night at 5 p.m. with the discus. However, the full slate of action starts Saturday morning at noon with several field events, while running events begins at 12:40 p.m. "After last week's competition, the athletes should be gaining confidence," said NIU head coach Connie Teaberry. "We are a long way off from being technically sound. With the success that the ladies had in their events last week, each athlete sees the progress of their work ethic from practices. The more they strive to improve, the better their performances, which leads to an increase in their confidence." The Huskies continued to build momentum early on in the indoor season last weekend, as they placed third out of 10 teams at the Illini Classic in Champaign, Ill. Among the top performers was A'Iesha Irvin-Muhammad, who qualified for the Mid-American Conference Indoor Championships in the 60 meters and the 200 meters along with taking first in the 200. Additionally, Tahtyana Peer guaranteed her spot in the 200 meters at the conference meet, while nine other Huskies scored points in the meet. This weekend, NIU will take part in another scored meet against some of the Midwest's best. In addition to host Wisconsin, the Huskies will also compete alongside Marquette, Indiana State and DePaul. Live meet results will be available on UWBadgers.com.

Sculpture Title: "Porky"
Artist: Judd Nelson
Location: Plaza 4, Third Floor Elevator
Amount: $1,600
Medium: Steel
Dimensions: 24 x 18 x 16
Sculpture Walk Season: 2013-14
As a typical Minnesotan boy, Judd Nelson preferred outdoor adventures and wildlife. His high school art class allowed him to bring nature inside, soldering his creativity and a new skill of welding together. Upon graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1969 with an art education degree emphasizing metal sculpture, Nelson holds over 40 years of sculpting expertise.
Nelson devoted time over those years teaching eager students in a variety of settings, including a Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota and a public school in Boise, Idaho. Fourteen years were dedicated to a national public television show, "Hometime," appearing in front and behind the camera as lead builder and project coordinator with the actors and directors. Today, Nelson shares his passion teaching Teen Welding at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts in Minnesota.
To Nelson, his artist process is simple. "I heat, hammer and shape steel in sculptures." Though his original models were wildlife creatures from his childhood, he recently began welding human figures with animals. The medium, salvaged steel, also make the pieces environmentally friendly.
"My style is fluid and spontaneous." His sculptures reflect the unique, natural movement of the inspired animal in one grand "fluid gesture." By using a less number of shapes in sculptures, Nelson challenges viewers to finish the piece with their imagination.
"On another level, I want the viewer to see the steel for what it is: hot, molten, jagged, twisted and rusty pieces of metal," describes the celebrated artist. "The previous life of this material is a beautiful contrast to the life and movement of the animals."

Tropaeolums for the Alpine House
Over the past few
years I have grown the following Tropaeolums in my unheated greenhouse.
|1) Tropaeolum azureum
|2) Tropaeolum beuthii
|3) Tropaeolum brachyceras
|4) Tropaeolum hookerianum ssp. austropurpureum
|5) Tropaeolum hookerianum ssp. hookerianum
|6) Tropaeolum hookerianum ssp. pilosum
|7) Tropaeolum incisum
|Growing but not flowering
|8) Tropaeolum looseri
|Growing but not flowering
|9) Tropaeolum nubigenum
|Growing but not flowering
Tropaeolum pentaphylum
|11) Tropaeolum rhomboideum
|12) Tropaeolum sessilifolium
|13) Tropaeolum tricolorum
One of the major
problems in growing these plants is the reluctance of their tubers to come
back into growth after the summer rest period. This of course means that
it is necessary to sew seed regularly in order to maintain my collection.
This season has however been reasonably successful with seven of the thirteen
listed above in growth by late November. Sadly Tropaeolum hookerianum ssp.
pilosum has been lost but Tropaeolum rhomboidium remains as a healthy but
non growing tuber.

In my last blog(http://scn.sap.com/community/abap/blog/2012/12/08/search-generic-uibbSearch Generic UIBB) I demonstrated how to use the Search GUIBB and in this blog I shall continue to explain how to use the Search GUIBB and List GUIBB(The list GUIBB is used to display the results). I shall continue to give the formal introduction for Search GUIBB again ....
Quick Introduction on Search GUIBB from FPM Cookbook -
A generic design template for displaying a search query which is implemented using the Web Dynpro component FPM_SEARCH_UIBB. You can determine the search query by configuring the Web Dynpro component FPM_SEARCH_UIBB.
The following screenshot details the search component elements:
I would like to demonstrate how to use this "Search Component" functionality. In this blog, I would develop an application which could search employees based on the Employee Number and list the Employee details.
As a part of this development I would perform the following main activities -
- Create a common class which would be used for data storage.
- Create a Feeder class for Search GUIBB which defines the search criteria.
- Create a Feeder class for List GUIBB which displays the results.
- Create WD Application and the respective Application and component configurations.
Step - 1 : Common Class for Data Storage
This class creates the generic data that is shared across components. Like, I would like to create an attribute that stores the search results in the form of table.
While creating this base class, please uncheck the "Final" attribute since we are going to use this class as a parent class in the steps ahead.
Create the following attributes -
Save and Activate this class.
Step-2 : Feeder class for Search GUIBB
This feeder class would define the "Search" criteria(Selection fields in SAP lingo). We have to implement the interface - IF_FPM_GUIBB_SEARCH to achieve this functionality.
Link the parent class - ZCL_FPM_BASE_CLASS to this newly created Search GUIBB -
Implement the interface IF_FPM_GUIBB_SEARCH to add the interface methods -
Though it sounds dumb, but went ahead following SAP's suggestion -
" If your application does not need a particular method, implement an empty method, otherwise the system will dump."
Whichever method you don't want to use, go ahead adding a simple "RETURN" statement to make sure that the application doesn't dump @ runtime.
Built the selection criteria and result table's field catalog in the following interface method -
On clicking "SEARCH" button, extract the respective information into the respective attribute in the following method -
Step - 3 : Feeder class for List GUIBB
This feeder class displays the search results. Create this feeder class with the super class as "ZCL_FPM_BASE_CLASS".
Implement the interface - IF_FPM_GUIBB_LIST to get the interface methods.
Move the extracted search results from the Parent class's table in the following method -
Also populate the results table field catalog in the following method -
Make sure you implement the remaining interface methods even though they are not used.
Step - 4 : WD Application and respective Configurations
Used the smart "ACT" to create the FPM based WD Application and the respective application and component configurations in 1 shot -
Opened my OIF Component configuration and added the "Search GUIBB" to my Subview -
Created the component configuration for my Search GUIBB -
Attached my above created feeder class to the freshly created Search GUIBB's component configuration -
Defined my "Selection Criteria" as "PERNR" by clicking on "Add Selection Criteria". It lists all columns that are added as search criteria in "GET_DEFINITION" method -
Added the List UIBB to this component Configuration.
Went ahead creating the component configuration for List UIBB -
Linked the newly created LIST UIBB's feeder class to this component configuration -
Add the columns that needs to be displayed in the Results table -
Went ahead testing my WD Application to see the desired results -
That's all on "Search GUIBB" concept for now ! Shall continue writing more blogs on more FPM Concepts, so stay tuned !

Analysis: If US wants to prevent Israeli jets from taking off en route to Iran, it must commit to attack on nuclear sites after elections in case sanctions, talks fail
Published: 08.15.12, 00:09 / Israel Opinion
Israel may rule out a unilateral attack in Iran
should the US toughen its stance with regards to the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, a senior official in Jerusalem claimed. "The problem is that the Iranians are not identifying determination on the American side. This is why they have been accelerating the pace of their uranium enrichment over the past four months. They are also developing the weapon itself at a fast pace," the official said.
Israel considers the gradual, cautious exposure of the Pentagon's military options and means to be just as important, as it would clarify to Tehran that the US is serious. But the focus should be on revealing these options to the American press, not to the Israeli media. Articles published by the New York Times or the Washington Post will constitute more than just a hint to Iran that Obama will not hesitate to act militarily after the elections.

Every town I've ever lived in the cops look the other way when cyclists do stupid and illegal stuff. Here in Indiana the mindset of the cops is that if a cyclist gets killed it's their fault. The cops here also don't enforce lighting or reflectors on bikes at night, with that the mindset of the cops and the law takes a very ominous turn for the worse, if a car runs a red light or stop sign or whatever and is at fault technically for the accident BUT the bicycle had no reflectors or lights...the driver is not held responsible!!
We have no 3' law here either, which is something I've been trying to get the politicians to pass here in Indiana...but they act like they don't care about cyclists, which is weird because a few of those same politicians ride bikes!

WEST POINT, Miss. - Tulane sophomore Braden List completed a strong showing in the Conference USA Men's Golf Championship by shooting a one-under par 71 Wednesday at the Old Waverly Golf Course in West Point, Miss. as the Green Wave's tumultuous 2006 season came to a close.
The Conference USA Championship was the final competition of the year for the Green Wave men's golf team, one of eight programs suspended by the university beginning next year in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Several team members opted to transfer or to save a year of eligibility by not participating this spring, and head coach Tom Shaw fielded a short roster of just four players throughout the spring. Instead of dropping its highest score each day, Tulane was forced to count all four scores. The Green Wave compiled a team score of 314 Wednesday and finished the event in 12th place after placing third a year ago.
List, a Delray Beach, Fla. product, posted three straight rounds in the 70s to finish tied for 38th overall, leading all Tulane finishers. He finished two strokes ahead of fellow sophomore Michael Birtel, who compiled a 54-hole total of 10-over par 226 to tie for 44th. Freshman Nick Heather lowered his score every day, finishing with a six-over 78 on Wednesday.
SMU came from behind to win the team title by six strokes after shooting a team score of 12-under par 276 Wednesday. The Mustangs defeated second place UCF by six strokes, while Tulsa finished eight strokes behind SMU at 11-under 853. Memphis placed fourth and was the only other team under par as they came in at eight-under while second round co-leader Houston fell back to fifth. UAB was sixth while Rice and East Carolina tied for seventh, one stroke ahead of Southern Miss. Marshall, UTEP and Tulane rounded out the field.
SMU was led by individual medalist Will Dodson, who ran away from the field by firing a seven-under par 65 Wednesday to win by five strokes over second place finisher Sonny Nimkhum of UCF. Brad Benjamin of Memphis was third, followed by Colt Knost of SMU.
Team Scores
1. SMU 278-291-276 = 845 (-19); 2. UCF 288-283-280=851 (-13); 3. Tulsa 285-287-281=853 (-11); 4. Memphis 276-289-291 = 856 (-8); 5. Houston 285-280-300 = 865 (+1); 6. UAB 286-291-292=869 (+5); T7. Rice 286-295-295=876 (+12) and East Carolina 296-297-283=876 (+12); 9. Southern Miss 292-291-294=877 (+13); 10. Marshall 302-297-288=887 (+23); 11. UTEP 291-311-294=896 (+32); 12. Tulane 308-315-314=937 (+73).
Individual Leaders
1. Will Dodson, SMU 70-68-65=203 (-13); 2. Sonny Nimkhum, UCF 72-66-70=208 (-8); 3. Brad Benjamin, Memphis 67-73-69=209 (-7); 4. Colt Knost, SMU 66-75-69=210 (-6); T5. Garrett Osborn, UAB 69-72-71=212 (-4) and Mitch Cohlmia, Tulsa 71-72-69=212 (-4) and Sam Korbe, Tulsa 69-74-69=212 (-4) and Kyle Kelley, Rice 69-72-71=212 (-4).
Tulane Scores
T38. Braden List 75-78-71=224 (+8)
T44. Michael Birtel 70-76-80=226 (+10)
57. Nick Heather 84-81-78=243 (+27)
58. Sean Madgett 79-80-85=244 (+28)

Hi all,
I'm on a quest to buy a recumbent bike and I could use some advice.
I'm female, 5'3", 118lbs, with a 37" x-seam. I haven't owned a bike in 20 years but I'm interested in getting one for exercise, trips around town, and maybe someday commuting (train+bus+bike). I've test-ridden a few and while I like the comfort of LWB bikes, their length is really impractical. I also prefer the maneuverability and agility of SWB bikes.
However I'm having trouble finding SWB bikes that I can ride because of my height. The design of most SWB bikes has the seat rising further off the ground as you move it closer to the pedals, which means I can't reach the ground when sitting down.
I've visited three dealers and the only bikes I have been able to ride are the Bacchetta Bellandare, Bacchetta Giro TT, EasyRacers Tour Easy, Sun EZ-1, and RANS Stratus LE. I was also able to borrow a custom-built Rotator Tiger from a friend (but she's shorter than me and the bike isn't adjustable).
I tried the RANS V-Rex today but with the seat adjusted almost all the way forward, I still couldn't reach the pedals, and I was barely able to get a toe on the ground.
Amongst dealers in my area (SF Bay Area) I might also be able to get a ride on a Lightning Phantom and a Volae Tour. I'm also looking at the ActionBent GC-24A, but I'm very skeptical about buying a bike unseen when I can't ride most of the ones I have seen.
Are there any other manufacturers or bikes I should be considering? Are there any other short recumbent riders out there? I wish it were possible to just slice a couple inches off the boom on a design like the Giro, to bring the seat down to my level and the pedals in reach.
Thanks for any advice!

So, I hadn't ridden a bike since 1996, but my BFF (we've known each other since 2nd grade) has gotten into cycling and hearing her talk about it I really wanted to get into it, but I was worried about being able to pick it back up. During most of my life and in college, I rode horses and played polo for exercise, but after I graduated (and the economy tanked) being asaddle has been a distant dream.
Anyways, I've thought it was just ridiculous to drive the 3 miles to work, but Oregon Coast weather can be unpredictable and nasty, and plodding along in it for an hour is more than I can take sometimes. So, my boss gave me a bike that had been sitting in her garage for 10 years.
The LBS I took it to for a tune up (and to get fenders installed) said it's a 1987 Schwinn Tempo. I'm having a blast riding it! My friend came over recently and we went on a 10 mile ride around a local lake, so much fun! It's the same feeling of freedom that I was missing from my life when I had to stop riding horses! I'm already looking forward to when I can go for another long ride, and trying to pinch my pennies just a bit more so I can get another pair or two of bike shorts and ride every day...
Anyways, I've been devouring all the books about cycling I can, and I'm looking forward to learning from all the experienced people on here!

Justin Bieber Middle Finger Justified? Bieber, Selena Gomez Surrounded by Paparazzi (Video)WendyM
Justin Bieber middle finger photos show a different side of the teen star, but was Justin Bieber's middle finger salute justified?
Watch the video of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez leaving a restaurant with paparazzi surrounding them and their car.
I think the swarm of photographers getting in their face is more than reason enough for Justin Bieber to flash his middle finger, don't you?
I can't imagine how Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez can do much of anything without paparazzi constantly following them around.
Watch Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez in this superfan video and Justin and Selena's Oscar kiss!
Still, Bieber posted an apology on Twitter for the middle finger: "had a great bday and at the end of the night we got surrounded by paps and i reacted in a way i know better. im sorry #killthemwithkindness. it's not always easy but i know better than to react in anger. life has it's ups and downs but u guys r always there 4 me. i will make my mistakes but i promise 2 continue 2 grow with u and try 2 do rt."

--Chasing the Sun: A Cultural and Scientific History of the Star That Gives Us Life
Sunset on the Ganges
This is an odd book. It sets out to tell about the sun and its effects on the earth - a grand objective, but one that is fulfilled more in the form of a catalogue or an extended index, than as an enjoyable and informative read.
Cohen is comprehensive to a fault, but at the end it was strange to reflect that I couldn't recall learning much in the way of new information. I must have come across new data, but it is telling that the passionless writing style left me thinking otherwise.
The author includes some vignettes of his researches, such as seeing sunrise from Mt Fuji on the summer solstice, and these liven the text. Some seem to be a little forced - maybe the editor pushing the author? But there needs more of this to make the mountain of information more memorable and meaningful.
Read December 2014
An epic story indeed. This book was too big for bedtime so I left it in the living room and read a chapter or a few pages when I felt like it. The best chapters were brilliant - and I can imagine that all the chapters were good but that for each individual different chapters might be the ones to spark the imagination because it covers so many different areas - science, history, culture, art, religion (to name a few!).
Interesting framework and a broad reach of ideas that is enjoyable to read.
Richard Cohen brings huge amounts of commitment, passion and verve to his subject and this shines through on every page. He has researched and written about every aspect of the Sun - historical, artistic, literary, scientific - and has ensured none of his research has been left out of this book.
Reading Chasing the Sun is like reading every web page ever written in one Wikipedia article. There is interesting information on every page and we are often taken down little off-piste runs that are just too fascinating to miss. Cohen wants to tell us everything and give his view on it, but he is definitely stronger on the arts than the sciences.
I think this bok ultimately tels us more about Cohen and his slightly mad obsession than it does about the subject. This is a fascinating and informative read, but eventualy overpowering if you sit in its glare for too long. Just like the Sun.

New Orleans, La.
A federal appeals court heard dueling arguments Monday on whether a judge should have approved BP's multi-billion dollar settlement for compensating victims of its 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
During the hearing, a BP attorney said the deal it reached last year with a team of private plaintiffs' attorneys "became something else" after U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier upheld a court-appointed claims administrator's interpretation of terms governing payouts to businesses.
Plaintiffs' attorneys asked a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold Barbier's approval of the settlement.
BP, however, argues Barbier's approval shouldn't be upheld unless the company ultimately prevails in its dispute over payments to businesses.

iRiver Story
Helen tried not to look at her watch, because looking at your watch never changed anything, but it was already a quarter to seven and her husband's headlights had yet to appear at the top of the hill. Evening had darkened to the point where she had to press her forehead to the kitchen window and frame her eyes with her hands just to see outside. Meadow Close was a dead end street, and so even if she couldn't make out the car itself, the moment she saw headlights of any kind cresting the hill there was a one in six chance they were Ben's. More like one in three, actually, because by turning her face a bit in the bowl of her hands she could see the Hugheses' car parked in their driveway, and the Griffins', and that obscene yellow Hummer that belonged to Dr. Parnell—
"Mom!" Sara yelled from the living room. "Can I have some more seltzer?"
Twelve was old enough to get your own fanny out of the chair and pour your own third glass of seltzer. But it was Tuesday, and on Tuesday evening guilt always ruled, which was why Sara was eating dinner in front of the TV in the first place, and so Helen said only, pointedly, "Please?"
"Please," Sara answered.
She couldn't help stealing a look at the kitchen clock as she closed the refrigerator door. Six-fifty. Mr. Passive Aggressive strikes again, she thought. She wasn't always confident she understood that expression correctly—passive aggressive—but she referred to it instinctively whenever Ben failed to do something he had promised her he would do. Sara was sitting on the couch with her plate on her lap and her feet on the coffee table, watching some horrific show about rich girls; she still wore her shin guards but at least she'd remembered to take her cleats off. Helen placed the seltzer bottle on the table at a safe distance from her daughter's right foot.
"Thank you?" she said.
"Thank you," Sara repeated.
Then they both turned to watch a beam of light finish raking the kitchen, and a few seconds later Helen heard the lazy thump of a car door. Instead of relaxing, she grew more agitated. She hated to be late for things, and he knew that about her, or should have. Ben walked through the front door, wearing his slate-gray suit with an open collar and no tie. When he was preoccupied, which was his word for depressed, he had a habit of pulling off his tie in the car and then forgetting it there; last Sunday Helen, passing his Audi in the garage, had glanced through the window and seen three or four neckties slithering around on the passenger seat. It had sent a little shudder through her, though she didn't know why. His eyes moved indifferently from Sara to her dinner plate to the TV as he trudged past them toward the hallway, but his expression didn't change; he was sunk too deep in whatever he was sunk in even to make the effort to convey his disapproval. Helen followed him into their bedroom. He finished emptying his pockets onto the dresser and then turned toward her without a trace of engagement, as if she were trying to talk to a photo of him.
"We're late," she said.
He shrugged, but did not so much as consult the watch right there on his wrist. "So let's go," he said.
"You're not going to change?"
"What for?"
She rolled her eyes. "It's Date Night?" she said.
He scowled and started taking off his pants. Really, it was like having two adolescents in the house sometimes. So that he wouldn't lose focus—he was perfectly capable, these days, of sitting on the bed in his shorts with his lips moving silently for half an hour or more—she stood there and watched him pull on a clean sweater and a pair of pressed jeans. His hair still looked like he'd been driving with the top down, but whatever. That kind of detail Sara was very unlikely to notice. When he was done they marched back out through the living room and Helen grabbed her bag and kissed Sara on the top of her head.
"You can call either cell," she said. "We'll be back by eight thirty. You know the drill."
On the television a girl and her father appeared to be auditioning a group of male strippers. "Happy Date Night," Sara said in a deep voice meant to sound hickish or retarded, and with one finger she mimed inducing herself to vomit.
They took Ben's car because it was still in the driveway. Helen tossed his necktie onto the back seat. He drove too fast, but only because he always drove too fast, and they were ten minutes late for Dr. Becket. Not that Becket seemed to care. Why would she? She got paid for the hour either way. So if she doesn't mind, Helen thought as they took their seats at the threadbare arms of the couch, and Ben doesn't mind, then why am I the only one who minds? What is the matter with me?
"So how was your week?" Becket said. She wore her hair in a tight gray braid whose teardrop-shaped bottom was nearly white. The office was in the rear section of an old carriage house that had long ago been converted for commercial use by a real estate broker, who operated out of the half of the house that faced the road and rented out the back. Fourteen years ago, when they were trying to make themselves look stabler and more prosperous for the insanely superficial Chinese adoption agencies, Helen and Ben had bought the Meadow Close house from that very broker. Now it was night and the only light on in the house was Dr. Becket's. Where was her husband? What did her kids do when she worked nights? Helen didn't always feel that certain about her, but unless you wanted to drive all the way to White Plains and back, Dr. Becket was the only game in town.
"Maybe a little better," Helen answered, when it became apparent Ben wasn't going to say anything. It was a lie, but in the atmosphere of this sorry room the truth was generally something you had to work up to. "We tried some of the things you suggested last time. We tried to at least sit down for meals together, even though that's difficult with Ben working past seven most nights."
"I know a number of couples," Becket said, "find that it works well to set aside one night a week for spending that kind of time together, make it part of the schedule rather than subject to the schedule, if you see what I mean. Like a Date Night." They both snorted, and it gave Helen a little nostalgic pang, honestly, just for the two of them to laugh at the same thing, at the same time. Becket raised her eyebrows, with her typical maddening dispassion.
"We can't really use that one," Helen explained. "We've been telling Sara that we're on Date Night every week when we come here."
"Maybe we can tell her that Thursday is our night to date other people," Ben said.
"That's not really that funny," Helen said, but it was too late, Becket was leaning forward, sinking her teeth into it like she did into any stupid, spontaneous thing either of them might ever blurt out. "I'm curious why you say that, Ben," she purred. "Is that something you'd like to do? See other people?"
Helen closed her eyes. Dr. Becket was just confirming every stereotype Ben held of her, every complaint he went through on the drive home every week about how she was a huckster, a charlatan, who didn't do anything except repeat whatever you said to her and then ask you what it meant. Why are we even doing this? he would ask. What is the point? Because you had to do something: she had no better answer than that, which was why she usually delivered it silently. You had to try something, even something as wasteful and frustrating and demeaning as this weekly hour in the back of the carriage house, because to do nothing was to find it acceptable that you were in a marriage where you hardly spoke to or touched each other, where your husband was so depressed he was like the walking dead and yet the solipsism of his depression only made you feel cheated and angry, and your daughter was old enough now that none of this was lost on her whether she knew it yet or not.
But now thirty seconds had gone by and Helen hadn't heard him say anything or even make some kind of immature, derisive sighing sound, as he usually did; and when she opened her eyes again and looked at him, what she saw, to her astonishment, was her husband wiping his eyes with the back of his hand like a child.
"Yes," he said. "Yes. I mean Jesus. I would love to see other people."
Which could only be followed by a momentous silence; but since silence was anathema to Dr. Becket, on the grounds that silence might belong to anyone but vapid professional jargon was something that could bear her own distinctive stamp, she said to him, "Stay with that."
"Not anybody in particular," he went on. "In fact, a stranger would be best. I would like to wake up tomorrow next to someone who has no idea who I am. I would like to look out the window and not recognize anything. I would like to look in the fucking mirror," he said with a truly inappropriate laugh, "and see other people. I mean, I cannot be the only person who feels that way. Are you seriously telling me that you don't feel that way too?"
It wasn't clear which of them he was speaking to; he was staring at the carpet, tears hanging from his nose, and stressing certain words with a kind of karate-chop motion of his hands.
"Helen, what are you feeling right now?" Dr. Becket said.
Ben was right, she thought; it was all an act, the gray-haired old fake maintained an air of smug control even though she had no better idea what the hell was happening in front of her than either of her patients did. "A lot of things," Helen said, trying to laugh. "I guess mostly that that is the longest I have heard him talk at one stretch in like a month."
"Because it's all so unsurprising," Ben said, very much as if he hadn't heard anyone else's voice. "I'm scared of it. I'm scared of every single element of my day. Every meal I eat, every client I see, every time I get into or out of the car. It all frightens the shit out of me. Have you ever been so bored by yourself that you are literally terrified? That is what it's like for me every day. That is what it's like for me sitting here, right now, right this second. It's like a fucking death sentence, coming back to that house every night. I mean, no offense."
"No offense?" Helen said.
"It's not that Helen herself is especially boring, I don't mean that, or that some other woman might be more or less boring. It's the situation. It's the setup. It's not you per se."
"Oh, thank you so much," Helen said, her heart pounding.
"Every day is a day wasted, and you know you only get so many of them and no more, and if anybody uses the phrase 'midlife crisis' right now I swear to God I am coming back here with a gun and shooting this place up like Columbine. It is an existential crisis. Every day is unique and zero-sum and when it is over you will never get it back, and in spite of that, in spite of that, when every day begins I know for a fact that I have lived it before, I have lived the day to come already. And yet I'm scared of dying. What kind of fucking sense does that make? I don't think I am too good for it all, by the way. In fact I am probably not good enough for it, if you want to think of it like that. I am bored to near panic by my home and my work and my wife and my daughter. Think that makes me feel superior? But once you see how rote and lifeless it all is, you can't just unsee it, that's the thing. I even got Parnell across the street to write me a prescription for Lexapro, did you know that?" He finally looked up at Helen, whose hand was over her mouth, as if miming for him what she wanted him to do, to stop talking, to turn back. "Of course you didn't know that, how would you know that. Anyway, I took it for two months, and you know what? It didn't make the slightest fucking difference in how I feel about anything. And I'm glad."
Helen stole a glance at Becket, who was sitting forward with her fingers steepled under her weak chin. She could not have looked more pleased with herself.
"Something's got to give," Ben said. He sounded tired all of a sudden, as if the act of denouncing his wife and child and the whole life they had led together had taken a lot out of him. Poor baby, Helen thought hatefully. "Something's got to happen. It is hard to get outside yourself. It's hard to get outside the boundaries of who you are. Why is that so hard? But the pressure just builds up until there's some kind of combustion, I guess, and if it doesn't kill you then maybe it throws you clear of everything, of who you are. Well, either way. I suppose that's how it works."
He sat back into the couch, the same couch where his wife sat, and within half a minute he had disappeared again, his face had resolved into the same zombie cast Helen had been looking at for a year now, two years maybe, without ever really guessing what was going on behind it.
"I know it may seem painful," Becket said, "but I think we have really, really given ourselves something to build on here tonight."

CLE-BWI-FLL-MDW-CLE on WN, FL all in one day.
I think I need to supply a little background for an unusual day trip:
I earned one of my recent Reward tickets from Southwest after flying multiple trips to LAX and LAS during the fall and winter. I decided I wanted to have some fun and try something new with this opportunity. I'm always looking to fly a new airline, and I saw this as a perfect opportunity to fly AirTran. I've admired them for quite some time and have wanted to fly them but I never was able to. Living on the far west side of Cleveland, and 15 minutes from Hopkins, it was too inconvenient to make the ~2 hour drive to CAK. They don't serve PHX, where I go to school. And when I did have a chance living in MCO for a semester, I opted for DL instead of FL for a trip to ATL so I could fly a 764 and a 777.
So the plan was to use my reward ticket on WN to connect the dots for a flight on FL. I would fly CLE-BWI on WN, transfer to FL there on a ticket I'd buy BWI-FLL, then take WN back to CLE. And I did it all in a day.
May 31, 2006
Nothing to report at Hopkins before my first flight.

Phillies off to a rough start in early spring training
Last week the Daytona 500 started the NASCAR season with much fanfare when Danica Patrick became the first woman to win the pole in any NASCAR race. I'm not much of a follower except for the highlights of the races. I think it is a bit anticlimactic to start the season with their most important race. Is this because of the constant threat of thunderstorms throughout the summer in Florida? Jimmie Johnson won, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. finished second and Danica Patrick finished eighth. Let's see if she can hold this position through the rest of the season.
In baseball, the Phillies' spring training losses have proven quite disappointing. I hope they leave this behind and show up with some decent relief pitching when the season starts. I don't usually feel bad for the Yankees, but their center fielder, Curtis Granderson, broke his forearm on his first at bat. Talk about a rough start! By the way, the spring training games are occasionally on the MLB network if you have extended cable coverage.
In golf this past weekend, Matt Kuchar won the Match Play Championship in snowy Arizona. Not only did they have to stop play one day for snow, but it was the coldest final round Sunday that I can remember in my 16-year history of watching golf. This tournament has always been a bit of a mystery in that the top seeds never get to the final round. Tiger Woods and Rory McElroy held this tradition by losing in the very first round.
Championship Week starts Monday, March 4, for college basketball. Half of the spots for the NCAA tournament are determined by who wins these games in the next week. March Madness is right around the corner!

Information overload? We run you through the functions and readouts available on Triumph's Trophy 1200
Not happy with just knowing your speed and revs? Triumph's Trophy should keep you entertained; it boasts more functions and readouts than you thought possible and while the dash might look complicated, it's really quite simple. Here we run you through the Trophy 1200's dash features.
Starting from the top left:
That's the clock and, yes, well spotted, it's nearly ten to six in the morning
The big 'N' is the digital gear indicator informing us that neutral is selected
Top right is the ambient temperature read out alerting us to the fact that Scotland is cold enough to warrant some heated grip action. There's also a frost warning for those with heated underclothing who might be immune to these things
That long, eight-block bar down the right-hand side is the engine water temp info. Still cold, then
Bottom right? That's electrical heating info. Grips and seats
Bottom middle tells us that the photographer is a keen Radio 2 listener. The massive saddo. Cruise control speed is also displayed here.
Lastly, but not leastly, the fuel guage tells us that we're going to have to fill up soon. Boo
Trip information sits down the middle of the display area
At the top 254.7 tells us of the total trip distance covered
46.9mpg is our average fuel economy
5.4 gals of fuel have been needlessly squandered
The SE models gives tyre pressure here, too
The dot matrix display features automatic brightness adjustment, dual trip computer and full integration with audio system and accessories
What's adjustable?
How long have you got?
Trip 2 can be set to automatically reset when stopped for between one and eight hours. Indicators can be set to to cancel manually or automatically. Headlamp beam adjustment can be monkeyed with depending on the amount of cakes consumed by your passenger.
Display brightness can be tweaked, language and units tampered with eg: (kmh/mph) 12 hour or 24 hour clock. Traction control can be switched on or off.
On the SE model - you can adjust suspension preload and damping (preload can only be altered at a standstill but damping can be changed on the hoof) and control the automatic volume control to low medium or high. There's also the possibility of configuring preset rider profile settings for suspension, traction control and headlight beam.
You'll be so busy with that lot, you might not have time for a ride.

Lind's view of the Red Line appears to follow the rationale that commuter rail is a wonderful thing for upscale residents who can afford to pay the fare, while ignoring the enormous government subsidies needed to support those lines when they are not economically viable. In the case of the Red Line the proposal is to spend half a billion dollars to transport 5,000 upscale residents a day (the 5,000 figure comes from the consultants who support the Red Line, not some libertarian nay sayer). When even the most ardent commuter line supporter came to realize that the project was not economically viable, the last minute freight corridor concept was added on. But, at the end of the day, this is a commuter rail scheme. A half-billion dollars to transport 5,000 people a day.
Over the coming weeks we are going to be bombarded by comments and opinions from those in favor of and opposed to the Red Line. Each side will present arguments as to why the world as we know it will end if the line is approved or not approved. In view of this I have concluded that there are some basic facts to keep in mind:
First, the consultants and experts in favor of the Red Line are being paid for by taxpayer dollars. Strange, isn't it, that we have to have our tax dollars spent in order to convince us to spend yet more tax dollars?
Second, the far sighted Red Line supporters and their consultants forgot to check with the rail road company to see if they could even use the tracks. Now we find that the rail road is not in line with the Red Line.
Third, and perhaps most importantly, we must remember that the people who want to bring us the Red Line are the same folks who brought us such financial disasters as the NASCAR Hall of Fame and MI- Connection. In view of this we have to view their rosy financial projections with a jaundiced eye: convoluted tax districts; joint operating authorities; and, at the end of the day, the taxpayers end up holding the bill for a half billion dollars. Basically, you can't believe a word they say.
The Red Line is a train wreck.
– Tom MacDonald, Davidson


text: Thanks, Scanman and Cameron. Cameron, most of what you say makes sense. But I'm having problems with some of it. First, I gather from your email that the remote computer I'm trying to access (MachineName below) is running an ssh daemon that speaks protocol 1 by the fact that the it's /etc/ssh_host_key.pub consists only of decimal digits? And the fact that my cygwin ssh spits out hex numbers is because it is speaking protocol 2? The reason I want to make sure is because I'm not really sure if the ssh daemon on MachineName is restricted to protocol 1. Sure, the MachineName's ssh man pages contain only the part corresponding to the protocol 1 on my cygwin ssh man page, but that might just be the man pages setup. In contrast, a "which ssh" on MachineName shows two paths, both respond to "ssh -help" with options that allow the forcing of protocol 2 as well as 1. And just to complicate matters (at least for me), I'm what that says about the ssh daemon itself, since I'm not sure if it even gets started by the ssh command. Also, cygwin's ssh-keygen defaults to rsa1. But I used your rsa1 option anyway. No luck. Just to be sure, I also used "ssh -1 -L" to force protocol 1. Just as a side-question, is it secure to ftp these these "key" files back and forth? A more overriding hint about what I might be doing is that the key fingerprint consists of 16 hex numbers separated by colons, each hex number being two hex digits. So it looks like 16 bytes, or 32 hex digits. This is true of both the fingerprint shown to me by ssh-keygen as well as the fingerprint shown to me by the "ssh -1 -L" command. I pumped the latter through dc (after removing all colons and making all letters uppercase to avoid dc errors), but the result doesn't even remotely approach a 320 digit decimal number (the one from /etc/ssh_host_key.pub). Furthermore, the ssh_host_key.pub file has not one but three numbers (the first two are very short, but the third number is about 320 digits long, all decimal). So do I ignore the first two and try to solve why the 3rd one is so grossly mismatched with the key fingerprint from "ssh -1 -L"? Finally, last argument to ssh, I tried specifying the ssh daemon host as both MachineName.blah.bleh as well as fma "at" MachineName.blah.bleh. For each of these, I tried ssh with and without -1 option, for a total of 4 combinations. The key fingeprint I'm asked to accept depends only on the "-1" option, and they are always the same length as above (much shorter than the one in MachineName's ssh_host_key.pub file). It would seem to me that it should matter whether I include fma@ or not, because how else would MachineName know where to look for ~/.ssh/authorized_keys? Finally (final one), cygwin doesn't have dc, so I ended up accessing the sun box at the company where I intern. They provide a secure connection. However, I don't suppose it would be wise to use the dc at Carleton University via VNC since connections to there are insecure until I get this ssh going? Neither would it be wise to "cat" the ssh_host_key.pub on MachineName for a peek for the same reason? OR, doesn't it matter since it is after all a "public" key? Thanks for wising me up on these issues.

Jackson's defense leads Indiana to sweep
INDIANAPOLIS — Kentucky was still sore from Indiana's 54-point win a night earlier, so it made sure to give the host team a run for its money the second around.
The Indiana boys high school All-Stars still beat the visiting Kentucky team, but the 84-77 final score was much less eye-popping than Indiana's 114-60 blowout on Friday, June 14. And that was good enough for Kentucky coach Allen Feldhaus Jr.
"Kentucky compared to Indiana, we can't match up physically to Indiana, but if we can get our main seven on the same page, we can make it competitive," Feldhaus said.
Among those physical Indiana players was Demetrius Jackson, a Marian graduate and Notre Dame commit. Jackson started at point guard for Indiana and peppered the box score with four points, six rebounds, four blocks, three assists and two steals. Jackson fouled out in the final minute of the game.
With Jackson at point, the Indiana All-Star coach Scott Heady said his team was able to command the pace of the game as well as it did in its Friday game.
"We've gotten better with our ball movement," Heady said. "We maintained our lead all night and I felt really good about how our guys responded to what could have been a difficult situation."
While Jackson showcased his speed on two fast break trips to the basket, he struggled from the field the rest of the night, finishing 2-7. He shined on defense, though. His four blocks were a team high and his six rebounds were good for second behind Devin Davis's 11.
Davis also led Indiana with 19 points. Mr. Basketball Zak Irvin finished with 16 points.
Editor's note: The original version of this story had the wrong score for the game on Friday, June 14. This version is correct.

Hi people,
I am new to Cinevate, and was a Kessler Pocket dolly V1 user for 2 years. I rely on solid moves for my work. And I sold the Kessler (IGNUS system) to 'upgrade' to a ball bearing slider that would possibly improve slide moves or at very least make my time easier in operation.
Using this slider does put a smile on my face, as it is solidly built for a compact slider, and the vertical kit was something unique for me also. So I purchased the FLT a few weeks ago after reading a lot of positive reviews.
I noticed an issue a few days after use when I reviewed footage from a wedding I shot with it. Nearly every take there was jerkiness / small noticeable shake. I put it down to new user error. I then went out and shot a heap of test shots at home and various locations. I noticed play in the carriage, and contacted Cinevate for some info about this. Jeremy was extremely helpful, and guided me on how to adjust the bearing, and clean the rails etc. After doing so it felt so good I thought the problem was gone!
I have tightened up my bearings as per video instruction, although this helped significantly, I still cannot get a smooth slow slider move when the camera is panned down (load is biased to one side of the rail block). It's like Its jittery / bumpy, even tho the bearings are clean, and the rails are wiped clean.
Now I will break down my setup:
I do all these tests with the all-terrain legs on a level surface with the slider firmly leveled.
I am using a 5D3 with 24mm lens majority of the time - occasionally a DP4 attached.
I use either a RC4 manfotto ball head or 701 depending on my sliders position (vertical / Horizontal)
Eveything feels rock solid, the bearings appear to have good movement, I can slide it with one finger without load - so its not too tight.
No debris or visible dirt / sand etc on the bearings or rail.
On a wide lens I get smooth shots when the camera lens is parallel to the rails, but even when I throw a 50mm on I can't get a smooth slide.
Now I honestly had at least 20hrs of usage time with the FLT and I am really disappointed such a premium product has let me down. Although I am trying hard to be optimistic.
I want to be able to get slow shots like the speed in my example below - but with the camera panned down 45 Degress or more (so i can shoot wedding rings on a table top etc..)
I have had great success with the vertical moves! But on the ground has been a struggle! Odd?
I have stripped this slider down 3 times to adjust the bearing, and have closely inspected the device to see where my issue could be if it is at all faulty. I don't know what to do... If anyone has any insight for me I would be more than grateful as I want this to work, I believe in this slider!!
I have contacted Cinevate today (tonight in Canada), updating them - There not operating currently. And its Saturday Morning in Australia currently and I am itching to get this sorted. I would love to try and get some advice from users who may provide some insight.

Mumbai, Bollywood star Suniel Shetty feels Congress MP Rahul Gandhi should step in to save the sport from the "doldrums".
"Only Rahul Gandhi with his initiative and youth power can rescue hockey from the doldrums. Otherwise the game is doomed," Suniel told IANS.
Suniel intends to request Rahul Gandhi to bring a sense of direction to the game.
The fiasco on Saturday at the sports event hosted in Chandigarh by the AMR Sports Foundation, where the national hockey players apparently asked for Rs.500 million at the eleventh hour to play at the event, has not left Suniel disillusioned or discouraged.
"See, what happened in Chandirgarh was really sad. I don't know what happened between the event's organisers and our boys from the national hockey team. If they really asked for the money, then they shouldn't have.
"But think of it from their point of view. Hockey players in our country are still so underpaid. They're under so much pressure from their family to give up hockey and do something more paying. How long can our players withstand the financial pressure?"
The sports event at Chandigarh was touted as the ultimate teaser before the World Cup matches, but ended up being a damp squib. Dharmendra and his sons, Sunny and Bobby Deol, were shooting in Patiala and were expected to attend, cancelled at the last minute.
"It was not Dharamji's fault at all. He was all set to travel from Patiala to Chandigarh when the organisers informed him not to come because of the chaos that happened over the money the hockey players demanded. I was also told not to come. But I didn't listen. And I'm glad I went. There were 30,000 expectant people in the stadium at Chandigarh," said Suniel.
He feels every sport in the country barring cricket is in a shoddy condition.
"Look at the way our world-class sport persons like Abhinav Bhindra are treated. It's a shame. We really need to respect sports and sportsmen other than cricket. We keep forgetting we have a Hockey World Cup coming up. And we cannot allow our hockey players to be demoralised in this way. Like I said, we need Rahul Gandhi to step in," said Suniel.

- Express web special: Comparing the iPhone 5S and HTC One Max fingerprint scannersApple Inc scores legal victory over Samsung on sales of iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 in South KoreaMozilla powers up cell phone push, set to challenge Google, Apple IncGoogle removes privacy feature from Android mobile software
Apple and China Mobile announced a long-anticipated agreement today to bring the iPhone to the world's biggest phone company.
The deal might help to boost iPhone sales in a market where Apple Inc. faces intense competition. The iPhone already is available in China through two smaller carriers but the latest deal links it with a bigger network and state-owned China Mobile Ltd.'s marketing power.
The iPhone is popular with Chinese customers who can afford it but it has been eclipsed by lower-priced smartphones from Samsung and local brands.
The iPhone 5S and 5C will go on sale in Apple and China Mobile stores beginning Friday, January 17. China Mobile customers can register for phones starting Wednesday.
The companies didn't announce pricing or the terms of the agreement.
The deal comes a month before China's Lunar New Year holiday in late January, a big gift-buying season. That "will provide an immediate boost to Apple's share in China," said analyst Nicole Peng of Canalys, a research firm.
Forecasts of possible increased iPhone sales under a deal with China Mobile vary widely, from 10 million to 40 million.
A key issue is whether it leads to additional sales or only prompts existing users to switch to China Mobile.
The iPhone will help China Mobile promote a new fourth-generation network that received government approval this month. But analysts say Apple needed the agreement more than the Chinese carrier. That gave China Mobile leverage in negotiations over how to split costs, which for the high-priced iPhone usually includes subsidising handset sales.
The iPhone faces tough competition from cheaper smartphones running Google's Android software. Collectively, Android phones far outsell Apple's iPhone.
Apple CEO Tim Cook told the official Xinhua News Agency in January that he expects China to surpass the United States as its biggest market. About 50 million iPhones have been sold in China in the past 2 and a half years, according to analyst estimates.
China Mobile has more than 750 million mobile accounts. However, a survey by Bernstein Research said some China Mobile customers use smaller carriers for data service. Apple already has agreements with China Telecom Ltd. and China Unicom Ltd., which have about 455 million mobile accounts.
Apple's share of China's smartphone sales declined to 6.2 per cent in the third quarter from 7.9 per cent a year earlier, according to Canalys. Samsung's share expanded from 14.1 per cent to 21.2 per cent over the same period.

Chicken sate?
Sure ok xD
Veal tongue.
Yes. More specifically, a calf.
It's sad, I know... but really, all meat is sad if you think about it. A veal calf suffers for less time than an adult cow slaughtered on a commercial farm... so it's hard to say which is sadder.
crocadile, warthog, snails ?

Cortona 1 br Vacation Rental Villa
Vacation Villa Rental Description:
Unit Description:
Double bedroom at the third floor of Le Gelosie with private bathroom ( shower) en suite.
The interiors of the rooms seem to intensify the self-confidence of those used to travel.
The furniture and all articles are the result of a careful brocantage, and a skilful manner in the use of the colours gives to the bedrooms a very personal touch. The whole is enriched with fascinating bed linen and fresh bath-towels and vigorous water-jets in the bathrooms.
Each room is equipped with satellite TV, air conditioning, ADSL internet access, 24 hours a day, so that guests can connect using their laptops, download their e-mails and surf quickly the net with no extra payment.
Overall Property Description:
Le Gelosie might seem a peculiar name for an accommodation facility, but the choice is not so extravagant after all. This lovely bed and breakfast is the result of a flight of fancy of its young owner: he wanted to offer a sophisticated alternative for the cosmopolitan tourist.
Le Gelosie was conceived to offer all mod cons to its guests, alongside with the utmost discretion. This small accommodation facility definitely represents something new and at the same time a challenge to the rest of theaccommodations offered by the town….
That's why it is located in the town centre. Le Gelosie is located inside an old palace completely renovated with real mastery, which overlooks Piazza Signorelli, in the town centre, one of the strategic and most lively spots in Cortona. From April to October breakfast is served under the scenographic loggias of the Teatro Signorelli (where some scenes of Roberto Benigni's movie, La vita è bella, were filmed), enjoying a wonderful view of Piazza Luca Signorelli. This accommodation facility shows originality and personality and is absolutely one of a kind. Le Gelosie will be a must for those who are looking for something different and not very demanding. It is a comfortable place and is furnished in very good taste. Because of the number of rooms, we advise you book in advance.
At guests disposal:
Each room is equipped with satellite TV, air conditioning, ADSL internet access, 24 hours a day, so that guests can connect using their laptops, download their e-mails and surf quickly the net with no extra payment.
