The War Of 1812 Revisited
Me: "Have a good day, sir."
Old man: "Thank you. Is your family doing anything for the 4th of July?"
Me: "Not really. We're Canadian so we may hold a BBQ on July 1st, which is Canada Day."
Old man: "WHAT? You're not American? I thought all foreigners had to become American when they came to this country!"
Me: "No sir, my family all has green cards, so we're all still Canadian citizens."
Old man: "I'M SICK OF ALL YOU F***ING ILLEGAL ALIENS TAKING ALL OUR F***ING JOBS! AN AMERICAN BOY SHOULD HAVE YOUR JOB!"

American traffic magistrates (at least in WA) would not even understand what an "algorithm" is. They will just see another glib speeder trying to scam the county out of $162.
(Warning for visitors: WA has one of the most zealous state highway patrol forces in the nation. Just don't exceed 10 over the limit here.)
On all three occasions I called 911 while the attempted break-in was in progress
If there's no response, just call them back and tell them not to bother because you've just shot the burglar. Bet you a box of donuts there'll be cops screeching to a halt outside your house within five minutes...
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/motorist-wins"People have shown it [the algorithm] has been hacked and it's open to viruses."
This is a catch-22. Nobody wants to be killed by a speeder, but nobody wants to pay to stop that from happening. The closest to a solution to this that the police departments have is to use cameras - they're cheap enough that they can afford them.
And when the police ARE funded to semi-reasonable levels, they get complaints
Just so you know it's pomes, as in Prisoners Of Mother England.
When expanding the acronymn to an Englishman you always get a reply "but hey you're the prisoners!", at which point it's customary to point out that they're still stuck there.
__Right. Do you have even the slightest shred of evidence that "exhaust fumes" play any part in the setting of speed limits ?
Bogus physics here. The fuel efficiency depends on the engine RPM (where it has an optimum range)and the speed of the vehicle (more -> worse efficency). If the manufacturer says the car is "most effici
speeding causes an unnecessary amount of exhaust fumes, which costs lives.
But speed limits are not set with the emissions profile of the vehicles in mind. If they were then they'd be the same everywhere. And if they were then they would have been increasing as vehicles emissions have come down. The fact is speed limits are arbitrary. The only argument for sticking to a particular limit is simply that it is illegal not to, and if you're arguing for that then I expect to hear that you've never failed to
A Sydney magistrate, Laurence Lawson, threw out the case because the Roads and Traffic Authority failed to find an expert to testify that its speed camera images were secure.
The motorist's defence lawyer, Denis Mirabilis, argued successfully that an algorithm known as MD5, which is used to store the time, date, place, numberplate and speed of cars caught on camera, was a discredited piece of technology.

People Behaving Badly
The facile world of Internet dating brings out the worst and the best
By Alex Horvath
This is the tale of John and Wendy, who found each other while looking for love on a dating website. It's also the story of Peter and Wendy, who met on the same website shortly after Wendy and John broke up, and had a relationship before Wendy got back together again with John. Finally it's really the story of Wendy, who found love offline, only to have her hopes dashed in the weeks before Valentine's Day.
Wendy's dating proclivity pales in comparison to John, who claims to have dated more than 200 North Bay women from various dating websites over the past five years in his earnest search for a wife. In some weeks, he says, he has dated as many as 10 women.
"Some people consider me to be an Internet predator," John says. "When I first heard that, I was kind of thrown back. I wondered where that could possibly come from and why others would think that way."
Meeting and dating in the new millennium is not for lightweights, as thousands have flocked to online dating sites such as Match.com, DatingFaces.com, Yahoo! Personals and others to find their perfect someone. While the trend of online dating has seen growth since 1999, a recent study shows new online dating accounts to be on the decline, signaling a softening in popularity for the impersonal "click and send" method of courting.
"Internet dating sites are a haven for relationship addicts," notes Jessica, 39, an online dater who has attended local meetings of Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous. "It's insidious. You sit there waiting for an e-mail to come. You spend more time staring at your computer screen waiting for the 'goodie': a positive response from another person. When it doesn't come, or if they stop talking with you--rejection."
"It's like meeting someone and they expect an instant relationship," says Ron, 45, who signed up on Match.com last year after his long-term marriage ended and his divorce was final. "I found that I was meeting people, and by the third date, they wanted to start making plans for the future." Ron has since ended his relationship with Match.com in favor of being single.
The story of Wendy and John started out innocently enough. My telephone rang just after 9pm, and it was Wendy on the other end. She wanted to dish the dirt about John, the newest man she met on the Internet website, DatingFaces.com. She had been doing this a lot lately--interrupting a perfect evening of mindless TV to get in a dither about her latest Internet crush.
A petite woman, Wendy, 33, lives in Windsor and is the kind of optimistic person who envisions a perfect world and knights on white horses. She's the type who invites friends over for "come as your favorite cliché" parties. She can recite chapters from The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right, a bestseller about how women should behave to get their perfect man.
Wendy is twice divorced and has a child still in diapers. Her previous husband had empahtically not been Mr. Right, hiding numerous bottles of liquor around the house and becoming drug-addicted before abandoning her while she was pregnant. Enough time had passed, and there was an air of excitement in her voice as she told me about John, 41, a man she had been corresponding with who had finally asked her to meet. The two were going to have lunch the
next day.
After going out for a week, Wendy thought John might be kind of perfect. He was great with her kids, especially the two-year-old. They spent at least six hours a night on the telephone and went out on frequent dates. She remembers a phone call a week or so later when they both decided to make it official and remove their postings from the DatingFaces.com. "It was, like, one, two and three--OK, I deleted my profile," Wendy says.
Sleeping over happened by the third date, and before too long, John was making overtures about wanting them all to be together as a family. John talked about moving them all up to Washington and starting anew. It seemed too good to be true for the single mother living in an affordable housing complex. John had a secure job as a sales manager and owned his own home in Santa Rosa, and the relationship was hot and heavy for about four months.
The romance had some built-in challenges, like the discovery that John had been loaning one of his vehicles to an ex-girlfriend whom he took to lunch regularly. Wendy accepted John's explanation for this indiscretion, and things soon smoothed over. Then, out of the blue, John ended the relationship during a short telephone call. After four months of dating and bonding with her kids, John suddenly had a change of mind and told Wendy that he wanted to "reconsider the relationship"--meaning, he explained, he didn't want to date a woman with children. Wendy slammed down the phone. It took her a week to get over things, but after she was done grieving, Wendy was back on DatingFaces.com seeking new men.
This time, Wendy met Peter, a prematurely gray construction worker in his late thirties, who is clean-cut and doesn't drink. Peter contacted Wendy from her Internet profile, which mentioned her sparkling personality and sense of humor, and featured a photo of her seated on the curb next to her nearly new SUV. Wendy liked that Peter's profile listed that he had children.
Peter estimates that he met at least 50 women over the Internet during a five-year period. One memorable date was with Sally, whom Peter invited over to watch The Devil's Advocate the afternoon following their Friday-night dinner date. About halfway into the film, Sally stood up from the sectional couch and began shifting and contorting her body and making bellowing noises at the top of her lungs.
"I really thought she was mimicking the movie, like she was pretending to have gotten possessed," Peter says. In fact, Sally had started taking new antidepressant medication earlier that day; seizures are among its side effects.
"When she fell to the couch, I knew something was wrong. Her body was stiff as a board and her eyes were rolled to the back of her head," Peter remembers. He called 911, and found himself being grilled by the paramedics.
What's her name?
"I don't know. I only know her first name."
Is she pregnant?
"We just met over the Internet!"
Peter rode with Sally to the hospital and sat with her in the emergency room, where she soon began to recover. He was taken aback when she looked at his rear and announced to the rest of the patients in the room that he had a "nice ass."
The seizure had taken away any feelings of amour Peter may have had for Sally. He did bring her back to his house to spend the night ("I couldn't have forgiven myself if I had let her go home and something happened to her"), and when the fog cleared the next morning, Peter said he tried letting the woman down gently. She stalked him briefly and sent eerie e-mails that indicated she knew his daily routines. But they stopped, and Peter hasn't seen Sally since.
Wendy says she was fond of Peter, calling him a real old-fashioned type of guy. Nonetheless, Wendy soon ended the relationship and continued her search.
A few weeks after Wendy broke up with Peter, John was back, sending her flirtatious notes from DatingFaces.com. After several dozen Internet dates, he now missed Wendy and the kids, and said that he couldn't do without her. Wendy was torn, but ultimately took him back. John was soon back to his old ways, dating other women and breaking up again with her. Today, they are just friends, and a strange bond exists between them that makes having dinner together--even dinner with Wendy's most recent significant other in attendance--seem normal.
John states that he has done nothing more than use the Internet as a tool for meeting women. He lists the sites he's joined, which number more than seven, and says that most of the relationships he gets into last about eight weeks.
Claiming that, as busy as he is, it is impossible for him to meet women anywhere other than the Internet, John likes to stay friends with many of the women he has met. His age range for dating is 30 to 53.
Tina is one of John's more successful conquests ("In spite of being 80 pounds heavier than her photo showed her to be"), but he eventually broke up with her via e-mail. Tina was very upset and sent him scorching e-mails and telephone messages. John and Tina eventually became friends again, and he was there for her when her temper flared after being stood up by a new date in a Santa Rosa restaurant.
Tina had been communicating with a man from San Jose for several weeks, trading e-mails during the day and making long-distance phone calls at night. They had finally decided to take the next step and meet for dinner. Tina waited at the restaurant for more than an hour, and when the man didn't show, she went home and left hateful messages on his answering machine. She learned a couple of days later that he had been killed in a car wreck on the afternoon of their date while driving up to meet her.
John seems perplexed by the idea that people have branded him as a predator. "Even the guys at work have this perception about me. But it's not like I am having sex with all of women I go out with. In most cases, we're just meeting.
"The way it works is that I will usually e-mail about 10 listings on a website," John explains. "Of those, maybe three or four will reply. You've got to be careful with terminology, differentiating between a coffee date and a first date. About 50 percent of first dates have led to second or third dates." John adds that women tell him he has a "cool personality and is trustworthy." He claims to never have sex on a first date, to never have slept with a woman while dating another and is firm in his conviction that unprotected sex is a no-no.
John is certain he has dated a couple of sex and love addicts, but says that he's not one himself. "In most cases, my intentions have been about honesty and integrity," he said.
For her part, Wendy did wind up meeting a man, one she was certain was Mr. Right. Their romance didn't blossom on a dating website. Instead, Wendy's mother introduced her to a handsome man, and the two dated for several months before Wendy decided to give up her affordable apartment and move in with. She told friends how great he was, how perfect he could be and about the life they were creating together.
That was until the other night, when--with his knee on her chest--she screamed into the telephone receiver for the Santa Rosa Police Department to come rescue her. The boyfriend had showed up drunk, later than expected, and when she questioned him about it, erupted into violence. He pounced on top of her as she screamed into the phone for help. Then he took the phone from her hand and hung up. The SRPD have a policy of calling back, and the person on the phone demanded to speak with Wendy. Patrol cars were on the way. The boyfriend fled, and when it was all over, Wendy and the kids were en route to her mother's house. When she returned the next day to collect some things, he had already changed the locks.
Wendy is resilient and states that she is just happy she had the wherewithal to get out of the relationship as quickly as she could once violence surfaced. She has a support system in place with family and friends, including John, whom she speaks with daily, and Peter, who has been in touch at least once a month since they met.
What had started out as potential love relationships over the world's least personal form of communication may have turned into true friendships. And though it all happened in a roundabout way, Wendy says that she is grateful for at least two of the men she met online.
Advice from a net vet
While it may be true that some of the dates I met online were gainfully employed, shared some of my interests and may even have been physically appealing, I think it is safe to say that I truly have a sense of peace this Valentine's Day--as a single person.

James J. "Gentleman Jim" Corbett is more than a boxing legend. He was the first of a new breed of modern-era boxers who approached the sport of boxing methodically. The fast, sleek Corbett believed in training for his fights and in employing speed and strategy rather than uncontrolled power to outmaneuver an opponent.
Through the late nineteenth century, professional boxing was not so much an organized sport as a barbaric fight-to-the-finish free-for-all in which bare-knuckled combatants wrestled and clawed their way to victory. Boxers were more like hooligans who exuded a rough, crude manliness. The sport became more orderly with the institution of the Marquis of Queensberry rules (named after Sir John Sholto Douglas [1844–1900], the eighth Marquis of Queensberry, who helped draft the new boxing rules). Bouts consisted of three-minute rounds featuring minute-long rest periods in between, and to protect their hands...

A Culture of Secrecy: Government Versus the People's Right to Know
By: Athan Theoharis (editor)Hardback1 - 2 weeks availability
The government is hiding information from its citizens-or so most Americans believe. While even some members of Congress now call for greater access to classified documents, federal agencies continue to withhold a massive amount of information in the name of national security, maintaining a culture of secrecy rooted in the Cold War. This new book examines who in government is hiding what from the rest of us, how they're doing it, and why it should matter to all of us. Contributing scholars, journalists, and attorneys survey the policies of federal intelligence agencies and presidents--notably Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton-to keep information secret. They show how these agencies have gone far beyond legitimate security needs to withhold information, and they describe the frustrations and costs encountered in their own efforts to obtain classified information. The authors review important cases exemplifying State Department, agency, and presidential efforts to withhold, destroy, or delay release of these records. In chapters centering on the Kennedy assassination, the Nixon tapes, and the FBI's files on John Lennon and the Supreme Court justices, readers will find an abundance of startling and disturbing revelations. By citing some of the methods used by agencies like the CIA, NSA, NSC, and FBI to circumvent the Freedom of Information Act--often with the cooperation of the judicial system--these essays clearly show that abuses of secrecy aren't limited to the withholding of information but extend to the absurd lengths taken to avoid disclosure.Create a review

A 966-Calorie Burger King Burger is Creating a Stir in the UK. Um, 966? That's It?
Over in the United Kingdom, healthy people who eat health food have been twisting up their knickers over Burger King's new 966-calorie Smoked Bacon and Cheddar Double Angus burger. In addition to having a thousand calories, it has 58 grams of artery-waterboarding fat.
Consumerist quotes a spokesperson for the National Obesity Forum, who says:
"This horrendous burger is a graphic illustration of where the government's obesity strategy has gone wrong," a spokesperson for the National Obesity Forum claims. "This burger is the height of irresponsibility and, if left unfettered, the food industry will do nothing to help stem the current obesity epidemic."
Oh, Great Britain. Have ye eyes been blinded by the can of whoop ass we opened up on you in the late 1700's? For America, this grand nation, has many o' horrendous burgers that, for many years, hold such caloric atrocities in them!
We already have the Triple Whopper™ and Double Whopper™, which collectively hold a James Michener's Texas-sized 2,040 calories (Triple Whopper: 1,140 calories).
And Jack in the Box's Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger has a eagle-soaring 920 calories (2.5 grams of Trans Fats, 1840 mg of sodium).
And Carl's Jr.'s Steakhouse Six Dollar Burger™ has an Alamo-sized 1060 calories, 2360 mg of sodium, and--wait for it--67 grams of fat.
And Taco Bell's Volcano Nachos have 980 calories of George Washington-crossing-the-Potomac goodness. (.5 grams of Trans Fats, 1590 mg of sodium).
Oh England. So cute with your "health crisis." Take a page from Texas and the United States of America, where we have the inalienable right to bare huge, flabby arms.

Superfund Site: WHITEWOOD CREEK, WHITEWOOD, SD
Superfund Site Profile
The Whitewood Creek site covers an 18-mile stretch of Whitewood Creek in Lawrence, Meade and Butte counties in South Dakota. Since the 1870s, gold mining operations in the area included the discharge of millions of tons of mine tailings to the creek. These mine tailings settled along the Whitewood Creek floodplain, contaminating soil, groundwater and surface water with heavy metals. Following cleanup, EPA took the site off the Superfund program's National Priorities List (NPL) in 1996.

Hog Heaven at The Gorbals
It is hard to overestimate the appeal of a good hog in this town, the charismatic pull of a whole roasted animal with crisp skin and heat-singed ears, an apple jammed gaily between its teeth. During Thursday's Downtown Art Walk, a celebration of galleries and the taverns that surround them, the biggest turnout was for The Gorbals, Ilan Hall's eccentric Scottish-Jewish restaurant in the lobby of the old Alexandria Hotel. Hall and his crew had provided a bagpiper, a band playing mournful New Orleans-style jazz, and two - count 'em - pigs that had spent many, many hours toasting to a burnished, bubbly crunch. At 8:30, the wait for a taste of pig approached an hour and a half.
bagpiper at The Gorbals during Artwalk
A. Scattergood
By the time I showed up, a bit after 11, the pigs were long-gone, of course, transformed into useful ballast against a Gorbals-style onslaught of draft ale and single-malt Scotch. I settled for the belly of another pig, a Berkshire beast that had been wrapped in plastic and foil and slow-cooked overnight before being seared off - "hillbilly sous-vide,'' Hall said to a friend - and a gamy, numbingly rich slice of lamb breast that had undergone much the same process.
I toasted the lamb rib, and prepared to move on. I was looking forward to an assault on Las Perlas, Cedd Moses' new bar around the corner, and my liver was quivering in anticipation. And then somebody at the Gorbals remembered the half cheek left over from the evening's hog, an unlovely scrap of meat the color of a Hermes Kelly bag. A couple of slices were tossed onto a plate. The sensation? Crunchy, porky air. Delicious. I stumbled off into the cold night air, nearly as drunk on pig as I soon would be on mezcal.
The Gorbals: 501 South Spring Street, Los Angeles; (213) 488-3408.

No because that would be irrelevant. Anyways yeah I felt I made that review a little too much personal but I also wanted to see how it will turn out .

I thought Slo-Mo-Tion was pretty dull on first listen but that song has really grown on me on repeated listens. No idea how the middle is boring when Flowers, Gardener, and Children of Cain are all awesome.
Kind of surprised this is being so well received

Enter a beautiful world where a secluded setting on the premier western shores of Lake Como in the picturesque village of Sala Comacina offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the luxury of your own spacious villa; to mingle with the locals; and with easy access to everything that makes lake Como so unique… to enjoy 'La Dolce Vita' - The Sweet Life, or `Dolce Fa Niente` - literally, the joy of doing nothing.
Enter via double doors to a hallway and spacious adjoining dining salon for eight with adjacent kitchen, offering direct access to the lake for relaxation and your al-fresco pleasure.
A wonderful Moltrasio-stone staircase leads to the first floor with media lounge and satellite TV, writing corner, card room, and wisteria-shaded balcony with seating for four overlooking the garden with lake views.
Progress up to the second level to the spacious master bedroom with French doors to a balcony overlooking the piazza, and private outdoor terrace with sun-lounge furniture, and en-suite bathroom with basin, shower, toilet and bidet. Another bedroom, with queen-size bed, overlooking the lake, is also located on this floor, with a few steps down to a separate bathroom. The third double bedroom located one floor below, adjacent to the lounge, also overlooks the piazza, and avails the ground-floor bathroom.
Casa Klimt offers numerous places to escape, or to mingle, as the mood takes one in tastefully furnished rooms and outdoor spaces set with wrought-iron and soft furnishing. In the evening the home's lighting adds a restful ambiance.
Adjacent to the dining salon with separate bench-seating, the kitchen features a four-burner hob with oven, and a free-standing retro-style Smeg dishwasher and refrigerator. We are pleased to meet your specific requirements for catering with service staff and personal chef at additional cost.
Casa Klimt is situated in a secluded locale with car access via the `Vallée` and one secure parking spot, with further free parking available within the village precincts.
On your doorstep the village of Sala Comacina offers a choice of dining experiences with local and international fare, all with al-fresco seating overlooking the lake, including La Tirlindana in Piazza Matteotti, La Comacina and Taverna Bleu at the entry to Sala, and wood-oven pizza at Pro-Loco under the plane trees above the boat moorings. On Comacina Island, La Laconda has been enjoyed by many 'rich and famous', and celebrates the island's history with a 45-year old table d'hôte menu (cash only). Also on the island, 'La Botte' Bar is a lovely spot to linger over a coffee, an ice-cream, or a dink (both establishments can be reached by water taxi from Sala's Piazza Matteotti). Sala also presents three other bars with their own unique ambiance; freshly baked bread daily (with grocery items and newspapers) at Amalia's, artisan butcher, post office, bank with Bancomat, and village church, all within 200 metres of Casa Klimt.
Please enquire with us for airport transfers, private transport, site-seeing, catering, and any other requests to meet your particular needs.
Hello, I'm Maria and I hope you will enjoy staying in my casa in Sala Comacina. I love the works by Klimt, and with my own personal passion for oil painting I hope you enjoy the images that I have displayed. Please enjoy the house with its various indoor and outdoor spaces overlooking the water, with ease to visit the unique attractions of Lake Como, which with a little planning can ensure a relaxing holiday without a need for driving.
Just spent 4 days at this fabulous lakefront property. The property could not be any closer to the water. The ferry is a 3 minute walk away. The owner is very responsive and provided tons of info on the area including helping to arrange for day trips and local sights. The local residents are also very nice. Home is large with 3 bedrooms and easily housed 4 adults. They have several balconies so you can just sit with your drink and watch the boats pass by.
Casa Klimt is an absolutely charming house in the pleasant village of Sala Comacina. Its quirky interior means it manages to be both spacious and cosy - from the large kitchen space, flagstone stairs climb to the floors above where there are further sitting rooms and three lovely bedrooms, plus several delightful, jasmine-scented terraces giving views onto the little cobbled piazza or across the lake to the hills beyond. The décor has been given a lot of thought, with beautiful, individual wooden pieces of furniture in the bedrooms, plenty of comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and of course, Klimt artwork! The sun terrace with its little boat-dock below is the perfect place to sunbathe or enjoy an Aperol as the sun sets over the lake.
Beyond the house, Sala Comacina has several lovely restaurants (perhaps none to beat the Lido pizzeria, a short stroll along the lakefront, as a place to see local life). There is a little bakery / grocery (with a very friendly owner) and a butchers shop. Having parked the car in the secure parking spot (about 100 metres from the house), we didn't use it again the whole week, travelling either across the lake on the frequent ferry that serves the village, or on the excellent bus service that runs along the lakeside road.
We spent a magical week here (thank you, Maria, and Robby) and can't wait for a chance to return.
The charming village of Sala Comacina is renowned for its particular micro-climate sheltered by the only island in Lake Como. Here lake fishing and olive oil production back to time immemorial have seen the village prosper. Today tourists continues to enjoy a unique village ambiance, which together with the village's central position on the premier western shore of Lake Como close to all tourist attractions makes this friendly village such a great year-round holiday destination.

Only other player to get close is Boycott but can't consider him.

Hobbs & Hutton
Well if I had to list England's best six ever batsmen in order of how highly I rated them, I'd probably roll with Grace, Hobbs, Hammond, Hutton, Sutcliffe, Compton. And while I agree that it's easier for openers to slide down the order a bit than the other way around, picking four openers and a #3 as my 1-5 in the batting lineup would take the piss slightly.
Grace and Hobbs, anyway.
I'll stick Hutton in at 3 and not bother about Sutcliffe.
Reality of the matter is, though, Grace won't win this vote, so when the middle order votes comes around I'll probably vote for him again.
Jack Hobbs and Len Hutton.
On the Sutcliffe v Hutton debate, there is definitely a statistical backing for the idea that Sutcliffe benefited from weaker attacks a little more of the two. When I standardised their averages Hutton's went from 56.67 to 53.94 (95%) while Sutcliffe's went from 60.73 to 56.11 (92%) but certainly neither played in the toughest era to be a batsman by any stretch of the imagination.
Longevity is why I put Hutton ahead though; he got the equivalent of almost 13 years worth of Tests in, while Sutcliffe didn't make 10. Unpopular reasoning for picking someone so I won't go into that again too much. :p
56.95 --> 55.79 (98%)
He played for bloody ages too; his scorebook average dropped 4 runs in his last 6 Tests, all played after his 47th birthday. He'd probably have a standardised average pushing 60 if his career was Sutcliffe sized or even Hutton sized.
Grace as a genuine vote and 1 to Boycott just so he gets a vote (but think Hobbs is obv better).
Do you think that your favoured batting line-up of....
01. Grace
02. Hobbs
03. Hammond
04. Hutton
05. Sutcliffe
06. Compton
....would score more runs than a more conventional line-up? Such as;
01. Grace
02. Hobbs
03. Hammond
04. Barrington
05. May
06. Compton
If you do think that your unconventional line-up would score more runs then why not select it? After all, the main objective is to win the Test match, is it not?
I'd probably not actually bat them in that order; that was just an order of best to worst. :p Sutcliffe from what I know would be less suited to move down the order than the rest, so I'd probably stick him in at opener and roll with:
1. Hobbs
2. Sutcliffe
3. Hutton
4. Hammond
5. Grace
6. Compton
I'm torn over whether I'd back that lineup to score more runs than one with May or Barrington in for Sutcliffe and a reshuffle though, for instance. Batting the openers out of position gives the team a higher ceiling (ie. if they take to it then it'll better than the alternative) but also a low floor (you increase the chance of outright failure by doing something largely unproven).
I guess Hutton and Grace are unproven in the middle-order, but the risk must be small. About the only problems they'll encounter is the strange task of facing an old ball and tired bowlers first-up, and a loss of concentration because they're suffering from boredom after waiting too long in the dressing room.
Are there any other hurdles?

ABC just persuaded a major player from its glory days to come back and engage in a little home improvement. Tim Allen — whose long-running role as Tim Taylor on Home Improvement helped to propel ABC to No. 1 — will star in an unnamed multi-camera comedy pilot (the working title was The Last Days of Man).
Penned by the Emmy-winning Jack Burditt (The Mike O'Malley Show, Inside Schwartz), the comedy focuses on a guy's guy who's surrounded by women. The storyline is still being adjusted, but the original logline spoke of a character who is "fighting for his manhood in a world that is being increasingly dominated by women."
20th Century Fox TV and Lost Marbles is producing.
Allen was one of a handful of actors who generated huge interest this development season. While most of the most-sought-after actors have been nabbed – Amanda Peet, Maria Bello, Constance Zimmer and Zooey Deschanel, to name a few — there are some who have yet to commit. Word is that Christina Applegate is circling many pilots, but has yet to decide where she'll land.

Bias was an athletic and charismatic 6'8" forward who averaged 23.2 points per game his senior year (1986), leading the ACC. In fact, Bias was named ACC Player of the Year in both 1985 and 1986 (following Michael Jordan, who was Player of the Year in 1984).
On June 17, 1986, the Celtics chose him 2nd in the NBA Draft in New York (behind only Brad Daugherty, taken by Cleveland). Bias was going to make millions of dollars, get to play for the legendary Boston Celtics and be teammates with Larry Bird (among others).
Two days later, Bias passed out in a dorm room after a night of partying and snorting cocaine. He never woke up and was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after. Len Bias was 22 years old.
In the aftermath, Maryland head coach Lefty Driesell was ousted (some see him as a scapegoat; others believe he didn't have control of his players and Bias's death was at least somewhat related to him).
Perhaps more importantly, Bias's death raised the profile of cocaine use among athletes. New York Mets pitcher Dwight Gooden's cocaine problems came a few months later. Sports leagues, and American society at large, began cracking down on cocaine use. Bias's death brought the problem to the forefront.
The reputation of the University of Maryland was hurt by everything surrounding the Bias tragedy. Their basketball team has only recently (mid-late '90s) recovered.
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics went into freefall with Bird and Kevin McHale retiring and Bias not being there to replace them. They became one of the NBA's worst teams in the '90s, leading some to refer to it as "The Curse of Len Bias".
Bias is one of many athletes who were never able to live up to their tremendous potential due to tragedy. However, his death was significant in that it woke up the sports world to the dangers of drugs and how it can wreck careers, and lives.

Start by making different little zoo animals. See how many kinds of animals you can make.
Girls might enjoy making jewelry and playing dress up. Make crowns, headbands, rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Make chains out of foil to hang little charms. Poke holes into the foil for added decoration. Think about whether you want to use the shiny side out or in for your jewels.
Masks are another fun idea. Kids can really come up with some interesting ones -- anything from superheros to carnival masks. My son enjoyed making a shark helmet with a big fin on top of his head and matching wrist bands.
You can also make hats, sun visors, body armor, "Wonder Woman" deflector wristbands, or even goofy eyeglasses. Maybe you'd like to make a fun little bowl for dry cereal or other snacks. Make tiny cups and saucers for a tea party.
Aluminum foil also makes good temporary Frisbees and balls. Or make a set of tiny bowling pins to knock down with a miniature bowling ball. Make a chess set. Make Star Trek communicators or Vulcan ears!
Toddlers can also participate in this activity, but they may need a little help. Be sure to watch them carefully so that they don't put any pieces in their mouths.
Aluminum foil modeling is easy and doesn't take any preparation. Clean up is easy too. Be prepared to use a whole roll of foil if they are really having fun!

Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Sometimes it seems a Jedi's work is never done and Luke and Mara Jade Skywalker know this only too well. Despite the bond they share in the Force, after three years of marriage the Jedi Master and his wife are still learning the ropes of being a couple and struggling to find time together between the constant demands of duty. But all that will change when they re united on an unexpected mission and must pool their exceptional skills to combat an insidious enemy . . . and salvage a part of Jedi history.
It begins with a message from a surprising source: Nirauan, the planet where Thrawn, dangerous disciple of Emperor Palpatine, once held sway . . . and from which Luke and Mara barely escaped with their lives. The message itself is shocking. After fifty years, the remains of Outbound Flight a pioneering Jedi expedition viciously destroyed by Thrawn have been found on Nirauan. Now, the fiercely honor-bound aliens who reside there wish to turn over the remnants of the doomed mission to the New Republic. Accepting the gesture will mean a long voyage into the treacherous cluster of stars where the thousands of souls aboard the Outbound Flight vessel met their grim fate. But it may also mean something more . . . something that has stirred an inexplicable sense of foreboding in Mara.
Whatever may await, the Skywalkers will not face it alone. Joining them on the strange and solemn journey are an officer of the post-Palpatine Empire, escorted by a detachment of Imperial stormtroopers; a party of diplomats from a gentle alien species that reveres the fallen Jedi for saving them from bloodthirsty conquerors; and a New Republic ambassador who harbors his own mysterious agenda.
Soon enough, suspicion, secrecy, and an unknown saboteur run rampant aboard the isolated ship. But it is within the derelict walls of Outbound Flight itself, buried for half a century on a desolate planetoid, where the gravest danger lies. As the marooned hulk yields up stunning revelations and unexpected terrors to its visitors, Luke and Mara find all they stand for and their very existence brutally challenged. And the ultimate test will be surviving the deathtrap carefully laid by foes who are legendary for their ruthlessness . . . and determined to complete the job Thrawn began: exterminating the Jedi.

Fender Champion 110, upc1188
Hello all,
So here's my dilemma, hope someone can help I recently acquired a Fender Champion 110 guitar amp, that didn't turn on. After i tore it apart and couldn't see any burnt components i needed to isolate the power supply from the rest of the components so i removed all 5 op amps and put dip sockets in. now the only thing connected to the power supply was the upc1188 20watt power amp chip i powered the unit up and the transformer started buzzing (from what ive found this usually happens when you ground a tranny output) so i shut of the amp and found that one of the 1n4003 bridge diodes was conducting both ways, so i replaced it and the unit powered up fine. Great, or so i thought I still dont get an output signal, i found a copy of a Fender champion 30 schematic ( http://www.manualnguide.com/dl/10166/ )which is almost the exact same (except for the power out chip which id a tda1514). so basically I am sort of at a point were i think i need a upc1188 chip (or the proper schematic). Does anyone know where i can get one or 2 of these chips? or i also have a second option. I could always build a kludge board (26v rails) with a lm3886 chip i have lying around and interface that with the existing circuit. Any help in sourcing parts or schematic would be greatly appreciated. Dave |

Hi Dave
It looks like you solved your problem. I have been asked to see if I can repair my friend's son's Champion 110 but the amp is pretty fried in the output stage area and with no schematic I am struggling to know what the components should be. You mentioned that you can e-mail a schematic for the Champion 110. If you still have one I would be very grateful. Thanks for your help. Cheers Keith |

Dream On
Romance Was Born delight in the glee of 60's baton twirling Marching Girls. Attracted by the energy of their movements, the unity and rhythm of their routines and of course their cute sporty uniforms. This wholesome fun is roughed up with the tougher streetwise influence of 60's Girl Gangs which gives the range a feminine delinquent edge. Both Marching Girls and Girl Gangs have ranks and leaders, clubhouses or hangouts, but they have very different ideas on what it takes to have girl power!
DREAM ON arose from Romance Was Born's creative connection with Alia Penner Californian artist and dreamer, lover of rainbows and stars and reluctant cool girl. Penner's bright illustrations and graphic paintings are the backdrop and insignia of the collection. The logos and slogans hark back to the flower power or summer of love movement of the 1960's. In particular the LOOK symbol and the gender-peace-sign capture the essence of the free love ethos. This feeling is something that Romance Was Born explore with their designs and this resonates across the entire collection. With DREAM ON Romance Was Born's silhouette is at times
neat and structured like a marching girl's uniform but at others the feel is slouchy and more relaxed evoking the girl gang's street wear vibe.
DREAM ON is fun and hopeful, peppered with motifs like butterflies, stars and rainbows, the message from Romance Was Born is loud and clear - peace and love for all kind.

Fresh Summer Fruit and Wine Jellies
11 comments:
Ann - Thanks. I got my inspiration from you ... the queen of all jellies ! I only started experimenting with jelly a week or two ago and now look forward to making many more.
For everyone else - thank you for your comments. I've actually been quite scared of jellies until now, but honestly - this is the most simple and easiest thing I have ever made ..... It's so so easy.Nancy - I've got some agar agar here which Nancy kindly sent to me. I have not tried it yet. I had the idea for this jelly when I was up in Scotland at the show and did not have the agar agar with me.
However, I do have something in mind for the agar agar. Still to decide how to flavour it though and make different colours. Perhaps agar agar jellies next week...

Novosibirsk (Russian:Новосиби́рск , pronounced nə.və.sʲɪ.'bʲirsk) is Russia's third largest city, after Moscow and Saint Petersburg, and the administrative center of Novosibirsk Oblast. It is also the largest city in Siberia and the administrative center of Siberian Federal District. It is in the southwest of this district.
It was founded in 1893 as the future site of the Trans-Siberian railway bridge crossing the great Siberian river Ob. Its importance further increased early in the 20th century with the completion of the Turkestan-Siberia Railway connecting Novosibirsk to Central Asia and the Caspian Sea.
From 1893 until 1925 Novosibirsk was called Novonikolayevsk after Tsar Nicholas II.
The city lies along the Ob River in the West Siberian Plain. To the south is the Ukok Plateau part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site entitled Golden Mountains of Altai.[1] The climate is sharply continental, with very severe, cold and snowy winters and hot and dry summers. Temperatures in summer range from 20 to 25 °C (75 °F), in winter -18 to -20 °C (0 °F), but can reach -40 °C (-40 °F) in winter and 35-40 °C (100 °F) in summer. The difference between the highest and the lowest temperature is 88 °C (158 °F). Most of the time the weather is sunny, with an average of 2880 hours of sunshine per year.
Industries include machine manufacturing and metallurgy. It is the home of one of Novosibirsk State University (situated in nearby Akademgorodok), a number of institutes and a scientific research center. Novosibirsk boasts opera and ballet companies, several theaters, museums, and art galleries, and numerous sports facilities.

Wordless Wednesday....
From toes in the sand last week to frosty fenceline this morning on the way to school drop-off.
Paige noticed right away.....the mile of frosty fence line on the way to school where little spikes of ice completely covered the barbwire fence along the route to the one-room school.
An absolutely beautiful scene.....thankful I had my point-and-shoot with me....with a charged battery.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to leave a comment. I love to hear from you! Have a fantastic day!

Twelve years after her disappearance, and the case of Chandra Levy still hasn't reach it's conclusion. The 24-year-old Capitol Hill intern was last seen in May 2001. Following the disappearance, her family disclosed to police that she had been having an affair with U.S. Representative Gary Condit.
When Condit was unwilling to cooperate with investigators, speculation arose that he was behind the disappearance. While he was never charged, it completely derailed his political career.
The man who was eventually charged in her death, Ingmar Guandique, was convicted in 2010 with no physical evidence linking him to the crime. However, two other women came forward, claiming he had also attacked them in the same park where Levy's remains were found. Additionally a jailhouse informant claims that Guandique confessed the murder to him.
Now, CBS News is reporting the credibility of one of the witnesses is in doubt, however not even Levy's family knows who. The judge in the case has imposed a strict gag order, preventing any information about the proceedings from coming out. "Whether they have to have a new trial or have another suspect, or whatever, we don't know," her father Robert Levy says, "They can't tell us because it's secret."

Post About Nothing
But, what I do envy, is "nothing". You know, "Whatcha thinkin' 'bout, hon?"
Hon, "Nothin'."
Really?? Nothing? Gosh...what's that like?!!! I can't even fathom what it could be like to think about nothing. Women's brains never. shut. off. Ever. Dontcha just wish you had an "off" switch for these amazing brains of ours?
I'm surprised, really, that we (women) are still in existence. You'd think with all those firing neurons and all that synapse jumping, that our brains would just implode. Overheat from all that use, and just...just, melt. (Clearly, we are a strong species...to be able to withstand it, no?)
When Miss E. and I were shopping the other day, and driving from point A to point B, I looked back and saw her looking out the window. So I asked, "Whatcha thinkin' 'bout?"
"Nothin'." She replied.
I wanted to pull over and freeze that moment in time for her. That moment when she was, simply, not thinking about anything (now, was she really not thinking about anything? Probably not...she was probably mulling over all the awesomeness she just scored shopping with mom...but I chose to take it at face value. Nothin'.)...so there she sits, thinking about "nothing" while my brain is abuzz with, well, everything. You know?
Seems I barely finish (sometimes I don't) a thought, and it sparks something, and I'm off on a totally different path. Totally. Constantly, 24/7. I even dream intensely...like my brain doesn't even shut off in sleep. Sigh...no wonder I'm so tired all the time.
Oh, how I would love to think about "nothing"...to just sit in silence, no buzzing, no neurons firing, no synapses being jumped (or whatever happens to synapses...oh, wait, that sounds a little ghetto, no? I guess I'd prefer my synapses don't get jumped, or mugged, for that matter).
Yeah...I definitely have a case of "Nothing Envy".
So...whatcha thinkin' 'bout?

ugh, I feel the SAME way as you!!! My boyfriend and I are having serious problems because of his lack of communication and the fact that every question I ask him, his reply is usually "nothin" -- it drives me crazy!!! I am like you- My mind is on the go 24 hours a day. I cannot finish a thought without using it as a means to start thinking about other stuff. It never stops. And it IS tiring. Grrr at men for being able to avoid this exhausting routine.
ReplyDeleteIt has taken over 15 years, but I have finally started pulling the weeds ("nothings") out of my husband's head so that he can finally communicate with me.
As for a penis, I've often wondered if having a penis cancels out brain activity... you know, if they had a little LCD screen on their forehead, and they were male, it would probably say "Error: Penis and Brain not compatible!" OK, so at least "Penis and communication -- not compatible!" No offense, guys, really!OMG!!! My brain NEVER shuts OFF! And it moves frantically from one topic to the next. I SERIOUSLY wish there was an off switch. Just so I could fall asleep.
I look at my son, staring at the t.v., mouth hanging open, not a thought in his little head.....and I am SO JEALOUS.
I wish I could watch T.V., without it reminding me of the 2 billion other things I really should be doing! Gosh!
I love comments! And, I welcome your thoughts that aren't in agreement with mine...as long as they are respectful!

Holiday Gift Wrapping
You'll never hear me complain about having to wrap holiday gifts. It's my favorite part of the holiday experience and it relaxes me. It's pretty easy to make pretty presentations. One handy trick is to layer on the ribbon. Use color coordinated ribbons of different sizes. To save on cost, I sometimes use strips of wrapping paper instead of ribbon. Here I used inexpensive crepe party streamers (in white) mixed with ribbons and I topped it all off with decorative stickers from Michaels along with computer generated name tags. It takes a little extra time, but it's worth it when you see the smile on the recipient's face.

-5x^3 + 24x^2 - 36x + 16
First do the graph in your calculator, so you start your work already having a pretty good idea of where the zeroes are.
Then apply the Rational Roots Test to obtain a list of possible whole-number and fractions zeroes. You should get:
. . . . .
Since whole numbers are easier, start trying whole-number solutions, such as -1 and +4, by synthetic division.
Once you've found one zero, you can plug the remaining quadratic into the Quadratic Formula to complete the solution.
If you get stuck, please reply showing all of your steps so far. Thank you!
To learn the relationship between factors and zeroes, try here. (We had assumed that this material had been covered in class before you were required to use the knowledge. Sorry!)
If you're not supposed to use the standard methods (and you must not be, or they would have been mentioned in class and in your book), then please reply with the methods that you are supposed to use. We'll be glad to try to help you with whatever non-standard tools or algorithms they've given you, but you'll first need to tell us what they are.

Egypt-Israel energy ties look broken
By Una Galani
The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions expressed are her own.
Egypt and Israel's energy ties have come unstuck. The Arab nation has terminated its long-term contract to supply gas to its neighbour in a payment dispute. In post-revolutionary Egypt, it was only a matter of time before the opaque gas deal fell apart.
The two sides have been quick to insist that the fallout is a business rather than a diplomatic dispute. Israel has supposedly held back payments, in retaliation for the slow restoration of supplies after repeated pipeline attacks. Prior to the uprising, Egyptian gas supplied 40 percent of Israel's gas needs.
While the business dispute may be real, the timing suggests a political motivation that helps the ruling army shore up popular support ahead of an expected handover of power to a civilian government. There is barely a month until presidential elections and it was expected that the new government would review existing export deals.
A crony of the former president, Hussein Salem, is already accused of illegally profiting from the contract, originally signed in 2005 and renegotiated in 2009, which many Egyptians believe provides gas to Israel at below market prices.
The oddly-timed break in the fragile relationship suggests Egypt is unlikely to be willing to settle one aspect of the current dispute without a solution that addresses all of the concerns – including the conditions in which the original deal was set.
That suggests Egypt isn't in any rush to resume exports to Israel, now, if at all. Total Israeli exports from Egypt to Israel amounted to $350 million in 2010 according to Barclays Capital. Egypt also currently imports some oil. If Egypt can switch to gas that would allow the country to partially reduce its energy subsidy bill which gobbles up 20 percent of its budget.
That leaves Israel increasingly reliant on expensive fuel oil, says Wood Mackenzie, amid already-frantic efforts to reduce energy consumption. Before the contract was terminated, the country was already bracing for summer blackouts. Pipeline attacks prevented gas from flowing for 225 days last year. Despite huge gas finds, Israel is unlikely to be self-sufficient for at least one year.
All the tip-toeing around the fall-out suggests that the spat is bad for peace, but doesn't destroy it.

It is very rarely that I will put down money for physical copies of an anime- I watch via subs first and determine if the series is worth truly watching on my own a second time, many series of which aren't- but Ben-to... well, when it appears on a Rightstuff sale, I'm definitely getting it. And I have to agree with another post elsewhere in here- I would've prefered if all the time and money spent on animating Shiraume went instead to the final fight between Kyo-tachi and Sato.

I doubt this would mean anything. But the final LN or so i think it is the final. Basically has endings for all the girls with the MC. So basically choose the ending you want. Which i thought was very nice. I could post pics if anyone wants to bother to request it but that's if anyone still goes on here.

La Linea (English: The Line) is a 2009 action-crime film directed by James Cotten. La Linea features an ensemble cast that includes Ray Liotta, Armand Assante, Valerie Cruz, Esai Morales, and Andy García.
Veteran assassin Mark Shields (Ray Liotta) is hired to track down the head of an elusive drug cartel centered in Tijuana, Mexico. Shields takes the assignment in a weary daze, as he is fresh off a case that claimed the life of a woman he continues to see in his mind.
Meanwhile, Javier Salazar (Andy García), the head of the cartel Shields is assigned to, is dying. Salazar hands over his position to his nephew, the cocky Pelon (Esai Morales). Pelon takes charge with a different agenda, however, planning to change the cocaine being transported to heroin from Afghanistan.
Shields recruits Wire (Kevin Gage), an old friend, to help in an assassination attempt. Pelon is leaving one of his warehouses when he is attacked not only by Shields and Wire, but a different group set up by a contractor named Anthony (Bruce Davison). A shootout ensues, ending in Anthony's team being forced to withdraw. Shields aborts the operation, but Wire is kidnapped.
Pelon sees Padre Antonio (Armand Assante) after the shootout. Then he goes to talk to Salazar, who tells his nephew that their operation won't ever be in jeopardy if the Americans simply keep taking out the leaders. Salazar believes that someone will always be there to take the seat of the fallen leader.
Shields is mugged but is found by a local woman named Olivia (Valerie Cruz), who takes him into her home. Shields stays until he recovers, then leaves. He later finds out that Wire was tortured and killed.
Pelon is attacked once more by Shields, and is kidnapped. Shields takes Pelon to Salazar's home. It is revealed that Salazar faked his illness, hired Shields and set up an elaborate twist for his nephew. Pelon is executed by Padre Antonio, another dupe set up by Salazar. Shields then gives his pay to Olivia (local woman) and boards a cab. On a ride to the airport Shields realizes that he was shot sometime when he was kidnapping Pelon, and he slowly lays down in the back of the cab and dies.

MacVim Tip: Tabs Per Project Nov 20
I dislike having too many windows open on my desktop. If I can consolidate them then I will. Here's a tip to do this with MacVim.
Use :lcd path/to/proj
instead of :cd path/to/proj
in the new tab.
will change the working directory for the whole window, while :lcd
it for the current window.
My vim setup uses ack.vim
, NERDTree
and command-t
plugins. These depend on the current working
directory. If you've ever decided to open another project in another tab
instead of another window, you know that running these plugins will not search
within the new project directory. Well, now when you open a new tab use :lcd
to move to that directory first.
For more info on :cd
and :lcd
you can run :help current-directory
to find
