JERUSALEM (May. 29)
President Yitzhak Navon of Israel appealed to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt, in his inaugural address this evening, to resume the peace process already started because too much hope has been planted in the hearts of the peoples of Israel and Egypt to let them down.
Speaking to a packed Knesset chamber where his inauguration was broadcast by radio and televised live and in color to Israel and the neighboring Arab states, Navon's message to the Egyptian leader was that the road to peace ahead is shorter than the distance covered until now. He stressed that a settlement could be achieved only if all parties realized that they cannot achieve everything they desire.
He said that every Israeli government, past and present, and every Israeli political party, sincerely sought peace and was ready to pay the price for peace. The differences between them were only over the extent of the risk Israel should take upon itself in the pursuit of peace, he said.
He reminded the assembled Knesset members, government leaders and television viewers of the enthusiasm that infected both Israelis and Egyptians during and immediately after President Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem last November. Those responses proved beyond a doubt how both peoples longed for peace, he said.
Navon listed as Israel's three most pressing problems peace and relations with the Arab world; aliya and relations with diaspora Jewry; and Israel's cultural and moral standards. Increased aliya, he said, strengthened ties with the Jewish diaspora. But he warned that material inducements alone would never secure the mass aliya that Israel needed. Only a moral and spiritual challenge to young Jews will bring them to live in Israel, he said.
Speaking on the "quality of life" in Israel, Navon declared that after "thirty years of building the State, it is now time to build the nation….After thirty years of fostering quantity it is now time to put the accent on quality." He said that what is required is to induce people to bring out the best in themselves instead of the worst, a national sense of purpose and challenge.
Outgoing President Ephraim Katzir, who declined to seek re-election after his term of office expired earlier this month, also addressed the Knesset. He spoke of the fateful years during which it had been his privilege to serve as President, beginning with the Yom Kippur War and ending with the first direct negotiations with Egypt, Israel's largest neighbor.
Katzir stressed the need to close the social and cultural gaps in Israeli society, an aspect of national life with which he was preoccupied during his years in office. He said that the President's residence had been a house and a home for Israelis and Jews of all walks of life and he was sure that Navon would continue in that tradition, adding to it his own special charm and grace.
Navon, Israel's fifth President and the first of Sephardic background, took the oath of office at sundown in conformity with Jewish custom. Afterwards, he and Katzir and their wives hosted a gala reception attended by about 700 invited guests. Premier Menachem Begin, who was ill with fever over the weekend, attended the inauguration. He appeared animated but did not look too well.
Later in the evening, Israel radio and television broadcast a massage in Arabic from President Navon to Israel's Arab citizens and viewers in the neighboring Arab states. Navon was visited at his temporary Jerusalem flat this morning by Knesset Speaker Yitzhak Shamir and his deputies who formally invited the President to come to the Knesset in the evening to take the oath of office. Earlier, Navon paid a courtesy call on Begin at the Premier's residence.
During the day, messages of congratulation poured in from world leaders and other well-wishers, among them President Nicolae Ceausescu of Rumania, President Ferdinand Marcos of The Philippines and President Walter Scheel of West Germany.
Katzir himself was the recipient of a message of "congratulations for a job well done" from President Carter. The U.S. President said, "Best wishes for many more years of health and productive labor. The dignified and effective manner in which you have represented Israel during the past five years has inspired respect in the United States and around the world. You have presided over an Israel that has gone from the dark days of October, 1973 to the hope-filled days since November 1977. I know that you will continue to make a positive contribution to the life of your nation and the world in the scientific field. . ."
Katzir, an internationally prominent bio-chemist, will leave shortly on a lecture tour of the U.S. and Europe before resuming his teaching and research at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot.

Two exhibitors at this month's NPE show in Chicago will be showing new high-pressure RIM systems designed for low throughput and low cost. A series of such machines is the latest addition to the RimCell family of RIM equipment from Graco's Gusmer/Decker RIM Group, Lakewood, N.J. The new RimCell Lite high-pressure (3000-psi) machines are priced at under $40,000 and have flow rates of 6 to 30 lb/min. (Larger RimCell RX and Select models dispense 33 to 400 lb/min.) RimCell Lite features the GX15 self-cleaning mixhead, available in both spray and pour versions, with internal recirculation. These units are equipped with Allen-Bradley PLC controls, 10-gal day tanks, and infinitely variable ratio from 5:1 to 1:5. Cooling is optional. A second new family of two-component high-pressure RIM machines is specially designed as a low-cost alternative to low-pressure machines for production of gaskets or dispensing adhesive beads in lamination of automotive sun visors, applications where PUR can replace epoxy or foamed rubber. Newly available from Hi-Tech Engineering, Inc., Grand Rapids, Mich., the new EZRim series has outputs of 10 to 400 lb/min. They have no PLC, controlled by simple relay logic. Starting price is under $35,000, about 25% less than the company's EcoRim unit and 30% to 45% less than conventional RIM units.

Ahhhh Valentine's Day, gotta love it. It's a day to show the one you love just how much you love them.

Valentine's day is great for certain businesses…Florists, restaurant owners, greeting card companies, and Chocolatiers. So what about some of the jobs that just absolutely suck lemons? What are the jobs that people do that when the simply hear Valentine's day being mentioned, they just cringe and reach for the aspirin?

The benefits of wearing a Rudraksha bead have been mentioned in several Hindu religious texts. Rudrakshas are commonly associated with Shiva worship and hence important references of the bead appear in texts that are dedicated to Lord Shiva. Rudraksha Jabalopanishad, from the Sama Veda and one among the 108 Upanishads, deals extensively with the benefits and worship of Rudraksha.
The Padma Purana states that the Rudraksha showers its benefit on an atheist and a devotee without any discrimination. Chandrajnana, a Shaiva Agama, states that Rudrakshas that are of copper color, hard and big with intricate designs are of special value. Those Rudrakshas without a proper shape, broken lines, worm inflicted and broken should not be used. Meru Tantra, a Shaiva text, states that the power of a Rudraksha bead increases with its size.
Rudraksha Jabalopanishad details about the benefits attributed to different Rudraksha faces.
Single-Faced: It is the form of the Supreme Truth (Brahman) and helps in realizing the supreme truth.
Two-faced: It is the form of Ardhanarisvara and helps in good living on earth with one's partner.
Three-faced: It represents Agni (some suggest it represents Trimurti).
Four-faced: It represents Brahma and helps in all-round development.
Five-faced: It represents Panchabrahman (five-faced Shiva) or Kalagni Rudra and helps in overcoming sins committed.
Six-faced: It represents sons of Shiva – Kartikeya and Ganesh – and those wearing the bead attain wisdom and wealth.
Seven-faced: It represents Seven Matras and a devotee attains health and purity of mind.
Eight-faced: It represents eight-fold nature (five elements and mind, matter and ego). It also represents eight Vasus.
Nine-faced: It represents Durga and her various forms (Navashaktis) and removes fear of death.
Ten-faced: It represents Ten Yamas and a devotee achieves peace of mind.
Eleven-faced: It represents the eleven forms of Rudra (Shiva).
Twelve-faced: It represents Lord Vishnu and twelve Adityas and a devotee wearing it attains moksha.
Thirteen-faced: It represents 'Kama' (the god of love).Fourteen-faced: It represents Rudra when he created the Rudraksha out of his eyes.

The newlyweds are seen in the photo wearing their wedding outfits as they stand close to each other.
The wedding picture of celebrity pair, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, who got hitched this past weekend has been unveiled. The photo shows the bride donning peach-and-ivory Reem Acra couture ball gown as she stares into the groom who wears Giorgio Armani outfits.
The shot, which is made public by weekly publication People, witnesses the newlyweds standing close to each other. Jenna is seen putting her left hand on Channing's body, while the actor himself is spotted holding a bouquet of flower on his right hand. Both of them are seen staring at each other's eyes and smiling.
Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are co-stars in 2006 film "Step Up". They started dating after the film wrapped. He then proposed to her on September 5, 2008 while they were in Maui, presenting her with a ring by Neil Lane.
On July 11, Channing and Jenna made their union official in a wedding ceremony staged on the grounds of Church Estates Vineyards in Malibu. More than 200 guests witnessed the pair exchanging their wedding vows.

Our pick of the week's science and tech stories, including personalised drinking apps, China and intellectual property, and whether life has a purpose.
Breathalysers of the future
Travis Andrews | Atlantic | 27 June 2013
They used to be fearsome things wielded by the police. Now they are slick pieces of design for drinkers to carry in a pocket. The BACtrack, when Bluetooth-paired to your smartphone, will not only check the alcohol level in your breath as a proxy for your blood, but link you up with a database that tells you how drunk other people are around the world.
Fake it till you make it
Christopher Sprigman & Kal Raustiala | Foreign Affairs | 24 June 2013
Taking and using other people's ideas and intellectual property is good for growth. It used to be the American way. Now it's the Chinese way. "Just as copying allowed the economy of the United States to grow in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, today it allows China to do the same. And, just as the British overstated the economic threat posed by American copying back then, so, too, is the Chinese threat overblown today."
Connecting the dots, missing the story
Evgeny Morozov | Slate | 24 June 2013
"There is an immense — but mostly invisible — cost to the embrace of Big Data by the intelligence community (and by just about everyone else in both the public and private sectors). That cost is the devaluation of individual and institutional comprehension, epitomised by our reluctance to investigate the causes of actions, and jump straight to dealing with their consequences."
Does life have a purpose?
Michael Ruse | Aeon | 24 June 2013
This brief history of teleological thought, from Aristotle to Nagel, by way of Darwin, arrives at the answer: No. "There's no sense for most scientists that a star is for anything, or that a molecule serves an end. But when we come to talk about living things, it seems very hard to shake off the idea that they have purposes and goals, which is served by the ways they have evolved."
Pi versus information theory
Robert Lucky | IEEE Spectrum | 20 June 2013
The mathematical constant Pi is an infinite non-repeating decimal. Does it contain all possible number combinations? Probably. If so, does Pi contain all possible information? No, because data is not necessarily information. "For every fact you might find, you would also find the exact opposite Still, if we expanded pi out a few more places and a message appeared, that would be scary. Something to think about."
Inside Digg's race to build the new Google Reader
Mat Honan | Wired | 20 June 2013
As a near-full-time user of Google Reader, I may be prone to overestimate the general interest of this story. But it strikes me as an excellent account of how a project gets conceived and executed; and also a good insight into Betaworks, which seems to have the gift — denied to Google — of breathing life and warmth into its platforms, such as Digg and bit.ly, and making them play together intelligently.
What grounds paternal obligations?
Owen Schaefer | Practical Ethics | 18 June 2013
Should unwilling fathers be required to pay child support? "If one has a strongly intuitionistic approach, the biological model (where participation in a process of sexual intercourse resulting in pregnancy and childbirth is sufficient for obligation) is probably the best option. While it might lack in philosophical grounding, there are relatively few counterintuitive implications (at least that I can think of)."

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Nors, Oct 22, 2005.
Phooey on Reggie Bush. I would die to get Maurice Drew in Dallas.
I didn't read this thread so I don't know where it has gone now, but I have to say this would be one of the RARE times I'd ever agree with Nors (which probably automatically already makes me wrong), but I wouldn't pass on Reggie Bush if he were available at our slot.
It's not about "need". Of course we don't "Need" him. It's more about picking a type of player that only comes around once every 5-10 years or so. You know, a Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, Marcus Allen, Gale Sayers type of player. And the great thing is he'd be an big time threat but we'd still be able to use JuJo, TT, and MBIII. But Bush adds a whole other dimension as a runner (He's got moves that JuJo can only dream about, and speed to go along with it) not to mention that he'd be a HUGE boost to our passing game. Right now if we put JuJo out wide it's not a mismatch in our favor. With a Reggie Bush out there you better have a CB on him cuz if you cover him with a LB you're screwed.
That said, Bush is a Junior and may not declare. And even if he does declare he'll be way too high a pick for us to be able to draft him anyway.
But if by some miracle he dropped to us, I'd crap my pants out of sheer joy if we drafted him. Imagine the two-headed monster of RB and JuJo, with a little bit of TT and MBIII sprinkled in. Plus, if a WR got hurt we could play JuJo and RB at the same time with RB lined up as a WR. The options are endless with a dynamic player like that.
Well that wouldn't do you much good, would it?
If we're going to get a RB I'd wait until 2007 Draft and get Adrian Peterson.
I would take Bush over Drew though. If he declares he's top 5.
No other RB in this draft would entice me to take him in the 1st round for the Cowboys.
unless JuJo has a horrendous 2nd half of the season or suffers some season ending injury, there's no way we're drafting a RB early next yr
I do think it'll be an offensive heavy draft, but OL and WR are going to be the focus

Sam & Max Hit the Road
Review by DarkDragonX
"A hilarious game from Lucas Arts"
Though old, Sam and Max is still an incdredible game, and one that deserves to be played. Combine a hilarious plotline, hilarious voice acting (for all the right reasons), and hilarious gameplay, and well, you've got youself one hilarious game (I will try to stop using the word 'hilarious' so much). The game centers around a private eye named Sam, and his partner Max. The thing is, Sam is a dog and Max is an insane rabbit. Of course, Sam walks upright, talks, and wears a classic private eye getup (Max goes around naked). Your quest begins with a phonecall from the feakshow manager of a local carnival (This all happens after the hilarious opening, of course... dang, said it again). It seems one of their main attractions, a frozen bigfoot named Bruno, has escaped. So, it's up to Sam and Max to travel across the US and find Bruno.
Sam and Max is an adventure/puzzle game where you manipulate objects and move Sam or Max around by clicking various places on the screen. Collect items, and try everything, because the puzzles are tough. However, the game stays fresh because every scenario is funny, and something wacky is always going on. All the dialogue in the game is spoken, and the voice actors do a great job. This game will have you laughing to the end.
Gameplay: Funny and interesting. The puzzles are tough, and you will spend a lot of time backtracking, trying to find items or events you may have missed. Fear not, because each location is easily accessible with your map of the USA. Great fun. The only complaint is that this game might be a little too hard to figure out some times (the dino tooth thing is a real killer). 9/10
Graphics: The graphics are great, and have a humorous cartoony look to them that suits the game well. If you saw the TV show on Fox Kids, you know what the game will look like. Each location has something outrageous in it, from the world's largest ball of yarn, to the bigfoot reunion party. All locations are interesting to see and funny to behold. 10/10
Music/Sound: Perfect! The voice acting is incredible, and the music is too. The tunes suit the game well, and there are other assorted sound effects that are all well done. 10/10
Overall: If you can find this game, buy it! It is well worth it, and it should be cheap, too. Finding it might be hard, though.
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

Ahwatukee Foothills resident Lisa Campbell is not your average Michael Jackson fan girl.
Campbell's obsession began in 1979 when Jackson's first solo album, "Off the Wall," came out.
"I took a great interest in him at that time because it was hard for me to reconcile that this was the same artist I had seen as a little kid," she said. "Two years later "Thriller" came out and I was gone. That was it for me."
Jackson's music at the time was so different from anything else out. His videos were so much more interesting than others too, Campbell said. She watched closely as he swept the Grammys and his albums skyrocketed to No. 1.
"I found him fascinating in a lot of different areas, not just singing and dancing, which was amazing enough," she said. "As I learned more about him and his background and all the things he overcame to get to where he was, it made you be even more impressed with where he ended up."
As Campbell looked deeper into Jackson's life she encountered a lot of different writings about him, many of which were false.
"It annoyed me when I read things that weren't true," she said. "I thought, 'I could write better than this.' So I did."
Campbell started writing her first book, "Michael Jackson: The King of Pop" in the summer of 1989 just following the Bad tour, which she had seen several times. It was released in spring of 1993.
She sent a copy of her first book to Jackson's office and got a call from his manager. She was told that Jackson loved the book. He signed and returned a copy, thanked her personally on the liner notes of his "HIStory" album, and even sent her three dozen red roses on her birthday.
"In my wildest dreams I never thought I'd get any kind of acknowledgement from him," Campbell said. "That's all I wanted. I wanted some kind of way to know he at least knew about my books. I hardly expected any of the things he did."
Jackson's publicist worked with Campbell to promote the book. She was interviewed by CNN and other talk shows, newspapers and magazines.
It all hit a wall in August of 1993. At the time Campbell was set to attend an awards ceremony where Jackson would be honored. It would be the first time she would meet Jackson. When the allegations of molestation hit the airwaves the ceremony and Campbell's meeting were cancelled. She would never get a chance to meet him.
Her second book, "Michael Jackson: The King of Pop's Darkest Hour" details his struggle with those allegations. It was published in 1994.
Now Campbell is out with a new book, "Michael Jackson: The Complete Story of the King of Pop." It goes over details from the first and second books and tells Jackson's story through his death, and even after his death. All three of her books will be part of Jackson's estate archives.
Campbell is still an avid fan of Jackson. She has a room inside her home in Ahwatukee Foothills dedicated to Jackson memorabilia and many more crates of items she says she doesn't have room to display. She said after all these years of researching Jackson and collecting everything she can find worth collecting, she has no plans to stop.
She says she enjoys knowing little facts about Jackson that not many people know, like his love for Bazooka Bubblegum, that he made wonderful French toast, and that he loved to play Janet Jackson's music very loudly and dance to it.
"He was surprisingly normal," Campbell said. "He was sane. I know a lot of people think of him as this freak show. I think if you're just a casual observer and you just see the headlines you think he's just very strange… He was multi-talented in areas people have no idea."
Campbell's books are available online through major retailers in hard-back, paper-back and e-books.

Radiohead's Give Up The Ghost is featured in a new homelessfilm to premiere in April.
The track from Radiohead's latest album The King Of Limbs is part of the film The Truth About Stanley. Shot in five days, the film is a heartfelt drama set on the streets of London, raising money for social enterprise The Big Issue Foundation and homelessness charity Anchor House.
Oscar-winning, Trademark Films, is the executive producer of the short film, which stars acclaimed Kenyan actor Oliver Litondo. Apart from "Give up the Ghost" by Radiohead it will feature an original score by composer Jack C. Arnold.
Lucy Tcherniak, who won the 2008 Smoke and Mirrors 48 Hour Film Challenge for her film I Stood Up, has directed the 20-minute film. The Truth About Stanley also stars 12-year-old Raif Clarke and Andrew Lee Potts – who played the lead role in ITV's Primeval.
There will be a fundraising premiere at 7pm on the 2nd April 2011 at the Rich Mix cinema in Shoreditch, London. A 60 second trailer for The Truth About Stanley has just been released:
Big Issue chief executive Stephen Robertson said: "We live in challenging times. From our perspective we know that homelessness is on the increase. This film offers a unique opportunity to lift the lid on some of the stereotypes that are all too frequently associated with extreme disadvantage.
"It is gratifying to see the arts, corporate and charity sectors uniting to bust a few myths. We are delighted to be involved in this project and for the support and awareness that it will raise."

If you see comments on this page, they remain for archive purposes.
Some of the non-Henson productions listed here, although are part of Frank's "acting" credits are not really "cameos" (Cameo: A very small part in a film, TV show, or other media production; usually done by a well-known actor (or otherwise famous person) or behind the scenes personnel). Frank's 5 Star Wars films as Yoda I would not consider a cameo - he was not on screen and he also was a staring memember of the cast -- Yoda was not a cameo character. (Would we count Kathryn Mullen's non-Henson puppeteering as Allegra on Allegra's Window as a cameo?). I think some of the non-Henson cameos need to be cleaned up, and if needed give a "Non-Henson Credits" section to some performers' pages to list the person's non-henson roles and work, but many of the non-Henson cameos are not really cameos they are just non-Henson roles. Likewise, another "grey" area for me is listing Richard Hunt as Dell in Puppetman as a cameo, its listed as a cameo because its an on-screen role of a Muppeteer, but he was an actor in the series, it was not just a bit part. -- BradFraggle 19:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC) (edit: sorry forgot to log-in)
- Thing is, though we're using the blanket term cameos, it basically applies to any on-camera appearance by a puppeteer (which would be my main quibble with some of the Oz stuff, that they're either voice roles or things like Yoda; I'd definitely remove those, and probably Brill's voice roles, unless we want to put them on their main performer pages). If we don't list Richard Hunt's Puppetman role in cameos, where do we put it? I mean, we could have a seperate area, but there's generally only one "starring" role for these folks. I reworded Hunt's page to specify that Del was a leading role, and I'd already done likewise on Bill Barretta's Jack in the Beanstalk part. That seems to me the easiest way to handle these things. I've changed the cameo category description to reflect this. While I sort of understand your complaints, I don't really see what you expect us to do apart from not mention any of the larger roles at all except maybe in the actor or production pages, which strikes me as less than helpful. -- Andrew, Aleal 19:24, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- I guess the key here is "On-camera appearance", so things like Yoda is just "non-Henson puppeteering". I think vocal work and puppeteering work done outside of Henson should not be listed as cameos but just under their performer's credits as "Non-Henson productions". Fran Brill's vocal work on "Doug" isn't a cameo. Brian Henson on Return to Oz isn't a cameo. And Frank doing Yoda shouldn't be either. Now, on-camera appearances in documentaries and talk shows don't count, right? Or else there are a whole lot more to add to the lists. -- BradFraggle 19:37, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- Like I said, I agree with you those shouldn't count, and the Brian Henson credit isn't listed on his cameo page anyway. So feel free to remove them. I didn't add them, and I'm too tired to mess with them myself. Documentaries and talk shows don't generally count, no. It depends. See Jim Henson Cameos. The Wilson's Meats Meeting Films stuff count because it's not a real documentary and, especially the shirtless commercial bit, more of an acting cameo. The cameos as himself in productions count because of their brevity, and the fact that they're trated as cameos. The Jim Henson Hour hosting gig is tricky, but probably worth including just for the sake of being all inclusive. Of course, a seperate list of doucmentary/talk show appearances, either on the cameo pages or on a performer's page, might be neat. --Andrew, Aleal 19:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Ryu (3-1) struck out three and walked one on a season-high 112 pitches in seven innings, helping his club move into a tie with the Giants atop the NL West at 10-6. Kenley Jansen gave up a two-out RBI single to Ehire Adrianza before finishing for his fifth save.
Pirates 11, Brewers 2: In Pittsburgh, Andrew McCutchen hit his first homer of the season and drove in three runs, Pedro Alvarez hit a three-run shot, and pinch hitter Josh Harrison broke a tie with a homer in the seventh.
Harrison's two-run drive started Pittsburgh's nine-run outburst over the seventh and eighth innings.
Cardinals 8, Nationals 0: In Washington, Adam Wainwright (3-1) pitched his fourth career two-hitter and seventh shutout. He chipped in at the plate with a double and a single, and St. Louis benefited from four errors in beating Washington for the eighth straight time.
Rockies 3, Padres 1: In San Diego, Franklin Morales allowed four hits in six innings and Wilin Rosario hit a tiebreaking groundout in a three-run seventh.
Padres starter Ian Kennedy took a one-hit shutout into the seventh.
Phillies 1, Braves 0: In Philadelphia, Ben Revere hit an RBI single with two outs in the eighth, and A.J. Burnett tossed three-hit ball over seven innings to outpitch Alex Wood.
American League
Rangers 8, Mariners 6: In Arlington, Texas, Kevin Kouzmanoff delivered again, doubling twice and scoring two runs as Texas won its third straight after losing the series opener.
Kouzmanoff is hitting .414 since being promoted from Triple-A on April 9 after starting third baseman Adrian Beltre strained his left quadriceps.
Twins 7, Blue Jays 0, first game: In Minneapolis, Kyle Gibson, unfazed by the subfreezing temperature (31 degrees) at first pitch, allowed four singles in a career-high eight scoreless innings
Twins 9, Blue Jays 5, second game: Minnesota scored three straight runs on wild pitches by the Blue Jays' Sergio Santos in the eighth inning, when the Twins walked eight times off three relievers in rallying for a victory and a sweep of a day-night doubleheader.
Yankees 10, Rays 2: In St. Petersburg, Fla., C.C. Sabathia pitched seven innings for a rare win at Tropicana Field, leading the Yankees past David Price in a matchup of former AL Cy Young Award winners.
Red Sox 3, White Sox 1: In Chicago, Jon Lester pitched eight sharp innings, and David Ross hit a tiebreaking RBI double in Boston's two-run ninth. Lester retired his first 16 batters before Tyler Flowers singled in the sixth.
Royals 5, Astros 1: In Houston, James Shields struck out 12 in eight innings, and the Royals completed a three-game sweep.

Serena Williams almost did not start the match she lost against Ana Ivanovic, and when the Australian Open continues without the towering figure in the women's game it will be almost as a different event. Repeat: Williams has been beaten. How rarely it happens, and particularly in a grand slam match after claiming the first set.
"I almost pulled out. I'm such a competitor. I mean, I probably should have," the five-time Australian Open champion said after being toppled in the fourth round by 14th seed Ivanovic. "I don't want to blame anything. I feel like Ana deserves all the credit. I feel she played unbelievable today. I think she went for her shots.
"It's not like I gave her the match. I tried to fight the best I could today. But, yeah, I almost didn't play. But, hey, I did, and at least I feel good that I tried the best that I could on this day."
The 32-year-old hurt her back during practice before her previous match against Daniela Hantuchova, and struggled to move forward, to attack, to hit winners, and on serve. Williams has been taking "the strongest meds I can take, that are legal, which my body didn't handle well because I haven't been taking anything. So I was like really kind of out of it for a few days".
And now gone from the tournament, on her way home to see her dog, Chip, and contemplate the 18th grand slam singles title that wasn't. The bar has been set so high for a woman who has won 17 singles majors, and 78 of 82 matches among a career-best 11 titles last season, that it must be slightly surreal on the rare occasion she is unable to clear it.
"I always feel like I can do better and how I can improve," she said. "You know, as I fell at Wimbledon, I was able to get myself back up. Like I said, sometimes it's good when I lose because it takes my head out of the clouds. Not that they are ever there, so to speak. I just work as if I'm ranked 1000 in the world."
She admitted she was not feeling "the best", and missed shots she had not fluffed since "the 80s", having built a 25-match streak since before the US Open last August. And, so, another trip to Australia equals another injury for the woman who has suffered ankle problems in each of the past two.
"Maybe, maybe not. I have won this tournament five times, so I don't think that necessarily means that I have something [each time]," said Williams. "I think I have done pretty well here. You know, in general, over the history. I feel like I'll win it again ... Maybe next year."

It seems to me that you are asking for solutions to problems in EOPL. I would suggest posting questions on a solution *you* propose. Matthias, to my shock :-), has provided you with some actual code. I may be wrong, but I suspect that the code he has provided is not really comprehensible to you. It is all pinned on the notion that data are functions and functions are data. You may want to ask questions about his code. Understanding the sections of EOPL you are working through is important. -- Cheers, Marco

Kia Provo Concept Video, First Look
Kia showcased a possible rival for the Nissan Juke compact-crossover this week at the Geneva Motor Show, features funky styling, a turbocharged engine and one extra trick up it's sleeve: a hybrid powertrain.
Although just a concept, the two-door Kia Provo will prove to be a serious competitor to the polarizing Nissan Juke, should Kia put this vehicle into production. Featuring a combined 250-hp from a turbocharged 1.6L four-cylinder engine and a 45-hp electric motor, is sure to be a fun-to-drive, small and capable crossover. That extra capability comes from a four-wheel drive system, which doesn't take away from the Provo's fuel efficiency. Thanks to its hybrid powertrain, the Provo is capable of low speed electric-only range, by sending power to the rear wheels.
SEE ALSO: 2013 Geneva Motor Show Coverage
It's difficult to say if this concept will ever reach a production vehicle, but Kia has proven with the Optima Hybrid, that it isn't afraid to make a hybrid vehicle. With its unique styling, and long check-list of tech-goodies, the Provo would prove to be an interesting vehicle should it come to fruition. Check out the video below for more on the Kia Provo.

City officials say that despite a doubling in Vancouver's street homeless count this year, 150 low-cost units are sitting vacant because private owners would rather leave them empty than rent to the city's poor. The vacancies have angered city council.
Vancouver's 4,500 single-room-occupancy units are the city's housing of last resort. Dirty, cramped and often poorly maintained, the privately owned SROs are an assortment of old apartments and hotels that have housed the city's poorest for generations.
The lingering vacancies are a sign of changes that have swept through Vancouver's approach to homelessness. Over the past year the city has launched a database of bylaw violations to shame owners into fixing decrepit units. The repairs have added upward pressure to rents that are already being squeezed by the city's tight housing market.
The city's contention that 150 units are vacant is not uncontested. Geoffrey Howes denies that any units operated by one of the city's largest SRO networks, Living Balance, where he is a director, are vacant. Many of the units are advertised for rent online.
"The landlords just won't rent to low-income people," says Kerry Jang, the city councillor in charge of homelessness issues. According to Dr. Jang, renovations are partly to blame, as is a concern that mentally ill tenants will destroy the newly refurbished units.
"The argument is that they are trying to change the makeup of the building. The more you push out the poor, the more attractive it is to other people," he says.
Online listings show many newly renovated SROs are being offered as housing to students and hipsters. Once homes for the homeless, these units are now listed as artist studios or New York-style microapartments. The rents are far in excess of the $375 housing allowance provided by the province, often fetching more than $600.
Blair Hewitt, 61, has lived in an SRO for the past year and a half. Describing his 120-square-foot unit as a "firetrap and hellhole," he fought an eviction notice earlier this year. In January, new owners sent a crew to videotape his apartment and filed for his eviction, alleging messiness. His building is under heavy renovations from dawn to dusk daily.
"There's a kernel of good to SROs," he says. "But it's abusive to live there."
Local activists say they've heard rumours of the empty rooms and have asked the city to stop the evictions.
The Carnegie Community Action Project surveyed Vancouver housing in 2013 and found limited vacancies throughout the city. They found one vacant room being rented at the welfare rate – the room was the size of a single bed and had no windows.
Dr. Jang is the driving force behind the city's pledge to end street homelessness by 2015. While the number of street homeless counted during a one-day census in March increased to 538, double the previous year's tally, he blames the increase on snags in a municipal and provincial program to replace private SROs with new public housing.
The program's scope and budget are huge. In 2014, the city budgeted $209-million for housing meant to reduce homelessness. Split between the operating budget, the capital budget and large donations from the municipal land bank, the amount dwarfs nearly every line in the city's finances.
By the end of this year the city expects that 14 housing projects will be finished. Among those projects will be 586 units in new supportive housing.
One of the new buildings is the Kettle on Burrard Street, a 16-storey tower with 141 units ready to accept tenants by the end of May. Unlike the private SRO rooms housing people such as Mr. Hewitt, the colourful and airy apartments in the Kettle are 350 square feet.
The downtown building has community gardens, lounges, six terraces and a library equipped with an electric fireplace. Residents will have access to cooked meals, a clinic and full-time support staff.
"The SROs aren't safe and a lot of people just won't live in them. From the stories I hear, it's scary just to go into them. It isn't a long-term solution for most people," said Nancy Keough, executive director of the Kettle society. "This is what works."Report Typo/Error

ATLAS Iron seems assured of claiming a 19.9 per cent stake in Centaurus Metals, after the biggest shareholder in Centaurus gave his blessing to a deal that will see him usurped at a discount rate.
Despite offering a 10 per cent premium to the Centaurus share price when lodging the play last week, Atlas's offer to buy 212 million shares at 8.8 cents each was quickly overwhelmed by market enthusiasm, which took the Centaurus share price to 10.5 cents by the close of trading on Friday.
Those fluctuations mean Centaurus shareholders could be approving a sizeable discount for Atlas - close to 20 per cent on current values - when they meet to vote on part of the deal.
Centaurus shareholders do not have a say in approving the first tranche of the deal - worth 110 million shares - but have power to approve or reject the second tranche of 102 million shares.
Centaurus's biggest shareholder is speculator Bill Paterson, whose 60 million shares represent just over seven per cent of the company.
The deal would see Atlas overtake Mr Paterson as the biggest shareholder at a discount rate, yet Mr Paterson urged shareholders to vote in support of the deal.
''I support what has happened, I think it brings to the equation an increased likelihood that Centaurus will export some of their ore and I'm confident they will have a much increased resource when they are finished their drilling,'' he told Businessday. ''I'm very bullish about the management and their capabilities.''
Centaurus managing director Darren Gordon - the second biggest shareholder - said he was confident shareholders would embrace the Atlas play.
''The share price was around eight cents for two months, and you could say the Atlas investment has credentialised our stock,'' he said.
''They are the ones that have created that additional value for shareholders.''
Centaurus has a cluster of iron-ore projects in Brazil, which will be developed faster using the cash generated by the Atlas deal.
Purchase of the stake should be finalised by late September.
Atlas's push into Brazil came in the same week the company warned that the Gillard government's new taxes on mining and carbon emissions were forcing it to look overseas for opportunities.
In June, Atlas launched a takeover of Pilbara iron-ore aspirant FerrAus.

Didn't see anything on here recently and I know we had a topic started on the stadium renovations before the site switch. I said I would update guys as I got information from the facilities guys...
Well, both projects are underway and neither of them will impact the spring game. As it has been in the past, south stands will not be open for the game. There is some scaffolding (limited), fencing, and yellow fencing in the stands around where the seats/construction will happen but all in all nothing major.
Lights, minor prep has started but the majority of the project will be completed during the summer and is not nearly as intensive as the south stands construction.
I will post a few pictures in the next few days, plan on swinging by to take a look myself!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/5/2011 (2306 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — This weekend's barrage of rain and snow will prolong the spring flood but not cause significant new problems, provincial flood officials said this afternoon.
The storm is not expected to cause significant water level rises on the Assiniboine River, said provincial flood fighters. And while the main stem of the Red River may experience a more prolonged crest and slower recession, there will not be an increase in peak water levels. The peak will pass through Winnipeg from Monday to Thursday.
In the Souris River basin, the storm could result in localized overland flooding in the area.
In the Dauphin Lake Basin, some streams affected by high-elevation snowfall will see another peak, with water levels expected to stay within stream banks depending on how fast the snow melts.
Water levels in Brandon are now the second highest in recorded history, surpassed by 1923 peak water levels. Flood protection dikes in the area are at 1,184 feet, well above the upper range of the forecasted peak at 1,181.2 feet.
Flood warnings have been issued for the Souris River from Melita and all downstream reaches; the Assiniboine River downstream of Shellmouth Bridge to Portage la Prairie; the Pipestone Creek, all reaches; Oak Lake and Plum Lakes; and Plum Creek to the Souris River (including the town of Souris).
Flood watches are in place for the Assiniboine River downstream of Portage la Prairie and the Qu'Appelle River in the St-Lazare area.
Overland flooding is expected in areas that received significant precipitation.

Understanding the Equality Act 201012 Dec 2013
The Equality Act, which will come into force in October 2010, aims to harmonise and clarify existing equality legislation in the UK.
Become a member for access to more resources and benefits.Learn more
The Equality Act 2010 was introduced in October 2010, bringing together pre-existing legislation on discrimination and equality and introducing some new provisions to address outstanding discrimination issues and promote equality.
The Act repealed and replaced all existing equality legislation, including:
The Act defines the characteristics of nine protected groups including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, gender and sexual orientation.
It defines discrimination by reference to direct and indirect discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, failure to comply with the duty to make reasonable adjustments (applicable in relation to disability only), harassment and victimisation.
Depending on your business, the impact of the Act will differ. If you are an employer, you need to be sure that the HR processes you use are fully non-discriminatory; not just for race, gender and disability. And you should be aware that the Act makes it possible to bring discrimination claims for experiencing two types of direct discrimination at one time.
If you supply goods or services, including websites, you need to be sure you provide equal access and that no one is unreasonably excluded.
There are two areas to note:
Public spending will soon account for almost half of the UK economy. To encourage equality, most public bodies will be required to include equality provisions in their purchasing process. If you do business with local authorities, government departments, NHS and other publically funded bodies, or even supply those businesses that do, you will have to prove that you do not discriminate and that you have processes in place to prevent it.
Recruiting, selecting and managing your employees are all areas where discrimination can arise.
The Equality Act extends protection in the areas of:
You need to be sure that the processes you use are inclusive. Remember, if you use a recruitment agency, you are still liable for the actions they take on your behalf.
Because this is such a sensitive area of employment law, we strongly encourage all businesses to seek advice before taking any action. Members of the Forum can call the helpline on 0845 130 1722.

The Basics of Resin Drying
Dehumidifying of plastics resin is utilized to minimize or eliminate problems that may be caused by too much or too little moisture in a plastic material during processing. Although most processors accept the need to predry resins, particularly highly hygroscopic ones, many do not understand the basics - or even the vocabulary of resin drying.
The extent to which moisture affects the quality of a molded or extruded part is determined by the specific plastic resin being processed and the intended purpose of the part. Regardless, it is highly probable that improper or incomplete drying of the raw material will create problems, whether during processing or when the product is in use, or worse - both.
The following topics to the left under "Drying Basics" help form a guide to understanding the basics of dehumidifying plastics material as well as the esthetic and performance issues that present from improper drying.

Positive step in Fonterra accepting charges
Positive step in Fonterra accepting charges
Federated Farmers is pleased to see Fonterra has accepted the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) four charges over the whey protein concentrate recall last year.
"This scare has been invaluable learning curve for Fonterra and they are making positive changes already to make sure this never happens again," says Willy Leferink, Federated Farmers Dairy Chairperson.
"Our reputation for food quality and safety is paramount to our success on the world stage. Whilst this product recall was a false alarm it has unearthed some flaws in Fonterra's system. By whole heartedly accepting the charges laid by MPI yesterday, Fonterra has shown they are on the front foot of this issue.
"This is not just a lesson for Fonterra, all food producers in New Zealand should take note and learn from their experience, I am sure there will be a case study coming out soon.
"Our customer's perception of us can make or break our industry, I know I am not alone in saying we hope this never happens again," concluded Mr Leferink.

A Geography Alphabet
de Christopher W.R. Thurman Illustrated by Kathryn L. Grier
Acerca del libro
Geography is the study of the patterns and processes of human activity and natural environments, by themselves and as they relate to each other. The discipline includes so much that it is split into two main branches: cultural and physical geography.
Alphaography is an alphabet book wherein each letter is represented by a cultural geography term followed by a physical geography term. It is presented this way so that the reader can get a taste of both branches of geography. As humans move toward a more multicultural global community, it is very important to have some basic knowledge of the world, its people, and our place in it.

- Return to Kaikidan Rewrite
"AAGH! I'm so sick of these demons these days!" shouted Reimu in distress. Recently, Demons had been pouring out of the gates of Makai. "What on earth could possibly be going on over there..." Reimu was finally so sick of the monster spam she headed over to the distant gates, fully intent on sealing it forever.
The trip was fairly uneventful. It's a trip Reimu hates making, as it's usually fairly difficult to get up to the gates. The gate is high off the ground, so you get a fantastic view while you fly up. As Reimu had flown up, she idly shot down various denizens as she watched the beautiful black sky surround her. Nothing really got in her way, once they saw her.
"Hey you, what are you doing, shooting down my kind!" shouted Sara, a pink haired, pink eyed, and unimpressive youkai.
"Oh, just sealing your kind, they keep getting in my way... You wouldn't know why they're coming so often now, would you?" asked Reimu. She really was so sick of so many sealings required. She might as well have just dropped a deck of her cards to stop these youkai.
"I got recommended by the girl named Alice. She said that Shinki, our god, had reccomended Gensokyo as this year's hot vacation spot. I couldn't help but run over!"
"Well, you came at the wrong time, I hope you enjoy a fun trip back!"
"Hey, I might not look that impressive, but I certainly can put up a good fight! It's been a while, I'll enjoy this." Immediately, she sent a spread of blue circles flying around. As she used her various attacks, Reimu noticed she wasn't bluffing, she had considerable skill.
"You fight better than most youkai these days do. You gaps are only a couple feet big, usually they're a few yards!"
"Why you!" She acted angry, but really, she was just enjoying herself. In just a few minutes, she realized it was clear she had failed.
"Well, since you put up a good fight, I'll let you stay around for now. Just don't mess up my shrine!" Reimu was always in a good mood when she checked the Makai gate, the trip was one of her favorites. She never had gone any farther than this, so she was quite amused, and entered the portal. Sara quickly flew off, wreaking havoc among the weaker fairies.
"Wow, who would've expected the portal to be this pretty... Almost like flying through the stars..." Reimu was in awe with the insides of the portal. It was no slow journey, and the youkai in it were very active, and there was a good deal of flying debris.
"Yeah, it's a pretty place in here. It's my first time too, I was pretty suprised. I hope you enjoy your trip here, it's a nice world." The speaker was a short-haired blond. Her name was Luize. She wore a purplish-white hat and shirt, and was rather mature looking.
"Speaking of which, I don't think you'll be able to take your vacation. It's time for tourist season to end, you guys are such a pain... The amount of youkai I had to stop from getting to that town..."
"What? Really now, it's all the rage to head over to Gensokyo... Besides, you can't really ignore a whim from your god, can you?"
"Huh, your god?"
"Yeah, didn't you hear? Gensokyo was recommended by Shinki herself. Alice, her daughter, is spreading the news."
"Well, I've fought completely insane youkai, I don't think a god should be too bad... Well, sorry, your trip is over!" Reimu struck first this time, and quickly defeated her enemy. She was quite curious as to what fighting a god would be like.

Mid century modern KALLAX with a walnut face
I just moved to a new condo and wanted a standout piece in my living room with a dramatic walnut face. But everything I liked was in the $4,000+ range! Inspired by other Kallax hacks I decided to make my own.
Here is the final product:
Materials used:
- A white Kallax Shelving unit
- 4 McCobb Mid Century Modern Feet 10″ tall from tablelegs.com (unfinished) + Angle Top Plates
- 1 sheet of walnut plywood form my local lumber supplier
- Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus for the stain (I used the Pure color)
- 2 drawer pulls from Home Depot
- 4 Euro style door hinges
- 2 cabinet magnetic catches from Home Depot
First thing I did was assemble the Kallax unit without the interior dividers and installed the walnut legs using the angle top plates:
The next step was to located the walnut plywood. I've researched my area and every supplier only sold 8′x4′ sheets so I had to buy a whole sheet for $109. While at the lumber shop I had them cut out two doors from a continuos piece where I liked the wood grain:
Buying the plywood..
The two cut pieces for doors:
I then installed the hinges and made sure that the doors worked. I had the doors cut a bit larger so it took some shaving off of the edges and sanding so that the doors can function. It is important to shave off any extra area from the OUTSIDE edges. This will prevent from ruining the continuation of the wood grain between the two doors.
Doors installed:
Now it's time to stain. I took off the two doors and the four legs and stained them with Pure Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus which leaves a nice finish without that fake shine. You should stain the backside first just to make sure you like the finish.
Here is one door stained and one before staining:
And the final Piece!
10 Responses to Mid century modern KALLAX with a walnut face
How strong is this with the legs on it? Can they bear the weight of the unit (with console electronics inside) and a TV on top?
Where exactly do you place your magnetic catches?
Looks great! What kind of wood did you choose for the legs? You decided not to use the wooden cleats?
Looks awesome, but…. those interior dividers are actually important to the structural integrity of the Kallax, and by removing them you've compromised its rigidity and weight-bearing capacity. It also looks like you attached the legs to the hollow part of the Kallax shell instead of to the reinforced sections where the dividers would go, which again compromises their weight-bearing capacity.
this Ikea thing is meant to be put Horizontally or Vertically… I do not think "the interior dividers are actually important to the structural integrity of the Kallax, and by removing them you've compromised its rigidity and weight-bearing capacity", don t you think?
Good Job to Hacking the Kallax Dperstin
Great idea. And well done.

Hi Drupal-fans,
I would like a user to confirm his e-mail-address so that I can use it for e-mail-marketing.
- The user fills out a webform including his mail-address
- he receives an e-mail with a confirmation link
- after he clicks the link, his webform-result will receive a "flag", that says "e-mail-confirmed"
I tried http://drupal.org/project/webform_confirm_email, which only allows me to send mails from within the system. But I would like to use another mail-system.
To make it short: I'd like confirmed mail addresses to be flagged as confirmed.
Any help is appreciated.
I'm also interested in this.
I'm also interested in this. Please let us know if there is any Drupal option without having to subscribe to a 3rd party service.
Took me some time, but I
Took me some time, but I managed to get this feature working. Might be definitivly better, if webform_confirm_email would implement this directly, thus I'll add a feature request there.
My workaround uses a hidden form element that stores the confirmation, and a rules-event that updates the form element.
And I patched webform_confirm_email to remove the useless abuse-link. If you are interested, I'll document my code.
Interested in code
Hi musikpirat,
I am interested in your code. Can you please provide it? I will agree with you that this should have been implemented in Webform Confirm Email.

Jeff Bridges Launches Lullaby Album With Super Bowl Ad [Watch]
Jeff Bridges aims to put people to sleep with his new album, which he launched with a commercial during the Super Bowl.
Jeff Bridges aims to put people to sleep with his new album, which he launched with a commercial during the Super Bowl.
The Weinstein Co. failed miserably with their last adaptation of a young-adult book franchise, 'Vampire Academy,' but perhaps they can turn it around with a beloved classic. The first 'The Giver' trailer has debuted online, giving us a look at a different futuristic dystopia, because we don't have enough of those already.
Though Ryan Reynolds doesn't sing the theme song, 'R.I.P.D.' looks so much like 'Men in Black' it could almost be a remake. The latest featurette does look funny, but we wonder if the pitch was "What if the Men in Black were Ghostbusters?"
If you're going to borrow a formula, you might as well borrow the formula for one of the more successful franchises in recent memory. People have been jokingly calling 'R.I.P.D.' "'Men in Black' with ghosts" for some time now, and for darn good reason: it does look like 'Men in Black' with ghosts. Not that there's anything wrong with that. If you want us to see a movie where the great Jeff Bridges plays an undead cowboy hunting down stray spirits, all you have to do is tell us when to get in line. Anyway, two new banners for the film have arrived, and guess what? They too make 'R.I.P.D.' look like 'Men in Black' with ghosts.
A few weeks ago, the first trailer for 'R.I.P.D.' exploded on the 'net, prompting many to accuse the film of looking like a 'Men in Black' ripoff for substituting aliens with evil spirits. Now a new poster for the Jeff Bridges-Ryan Reynolds horror adventure has appeared, and... well, we're still thinking it looks a lot like 'Men in Black.'
This 'R.I.P.D.' trailer certainly seems to indicate that the supernatural buddy cop film is a lot like 'Men in Black' with a cranky Jeff Bridges standing in for a cranky Tommy Lee Jones and a wise-ass Ryan Reynolds filling in for a wise-ass Will Smith. Whether that's a good thing or not is up to you. Take a look at this new 'R.I.P.D.' trailer for yourself to decide.
Jeff Bridges has been singing, playing guitar, and writing songs for years — in fact, in the '90s, he even went so far as to release an album, 'Be Here Soon,' on his own label, Ramp Records. But it wasn't until he starred in 2009′s 'Crazy Heart' that Bridges really had a chance to explore his musical artistry on the big screen.
Now, in a case of life imitating art (or is it the other way around?), Bridges is returning to record store shelves with his self-titled debut for Blue Note Records.

Emergency Procedures
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
What to do if your MEPIS system locks up. (If your system just became very slow, you may try killing a runaway program first.)
If you find your system has locked, chances are the kernel will still be fully functional, but the keyboard and mouse do not appear to work. This is usually due to a software fault in the GUI portion of your Linux system and in some rare cases a hardware conflict or a third party proprietary driver lock.
Unlike Windows systems, Linux has a proper emergency procedure to safely shut down and restart your system. In short, this is a keyboard sequence which gives commands directly to the kernel. It generally requires a little bit of hand gymnastics, but the benefit of this method is you usually do not lose any data or introduce errors to your hard disk through a hard reset or power down.
Press and hold both the CRTL + ALT + PRTSC (often labelled as SYSRQ) while tapping each of the following keys once only, pausing for a few seconds between each key press:
The sequence is easier to remember with the "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring" mnemonic. Or: since the location of the S is not critical, some prefer to think of "busier" spelled backwards.
The final B will reboot your system.

Glenbrook North Wins Blackhawk Cupby Staff Writer / Chicago Blackhawks
Days before the Blackhawk Cup championship game, Glenbrook North coach Mark Brunner praised his goaltender Will Dodge.
In Saturday's Blackhawk Cup state finals, Dodge was outstanding again making 32 saves to lead Glenbrook North to the 4-1 victory over Fenwick in front of more than 5,000 fans at the United Center.
"He's been nothing but amazing for us," Brunner said. "He has been outstanding for us. I think he gives us a chance to win every time he's in net. Our guys really feed off him. They are more confident when he's back there."
The junior goaltender was named the game's most valuable player as he handed the Spartans (51-9-7) their first state title since 1985.
"I was just in the zone," Dodge told a bevy of reporters after the game.
Dodge has been "in the zone" the entire Blackhawk Cup state tournament finishing with three shutouts and a 0.80 goals-against average in five playoff games. Dodge, though, might be overshadowed by the eventual game-winning play made by teammate Jayson Megna.
With the game tied at 1-1, Megna scored the game-deciding goal on a highlight reel move in the second period. The junior forward faked a shot, side-stepped a Fenwick defenseman and then backhanded a shot past Fenwick goaltender Vincenz Barsanti (22 saves).
"I never thought I would be able to use that move in the state championship," Megna said. "I guess working on that goal so much in practice paid off."
Danny Carroll scored Glenbrook North's first goal of the game on the power play in the second period, and Matt Rosenberg and David Tulig iced the game for the Spartans with goals in the third period. Tulig's was an empty netter with 1:40 left to play.
Fenwick (56-20-9) had a short-lived 1-0 lead in the first period when sophomore Mike Freitag batted in a rebound with KC Madock and Tony Tedesco assisting. After that, however, it was all Glenbrook North.
"It's an amazing feeling (to win the Blackhawk Cup)," Rosenberg said. "We gave it everything we had."

Today my friend Naomi gave me (!) an Empire Strikes Back poster, along with a poster that's also a checklist for most of the other Star Wars posters produced for the first three movies (you know, the good ones...). Both posters are about 40 inches high by 27 wide.
The Empire poster had been folded, which is how they were sent to movie theaters., and the art for that one is by the great Roger Kastel, who I wrote about in an article a while back. Here's the link for that:

On December 18th, Sulli took to her me2day and wrote, "I have blue eyes, too!" and uploaded a comical selca in which she put her bangs down and attached two ribbon clips with blue eyeballs over her eyes.
When fans saw the selca, they commented, "Sulli is so cute whatever she does", "To be honest I was freaked out for a second", and "Aw, I was hoping to see you wear blue contacts".

I've frequently mentioned my preference for WritePad. I've tried the others, but just love the way it works on the iPad. Two caveats: (1) The OP of this thread, FlorenceArt, isn't quite as impressed as I am by WritePad, although the fact that Florence is French may have something to do with that opinion. WritePad seems to be optimized for English. (2) WritePad now requires iOS 6 for upgrades; meaning if you have a first generation iPad like I do, you won't be able to upgrade to the latest and greatest version. But I am amazed by its accuracy and ease of use and highly recommend it.
I bought my grandson a copy of WritePad for his Kindle Fire but wasn't nearly so impressed by the way it performs on that device. On the Fire, you need to write in a small text box and manually convert after writing one or two words. On the iPad you can use the entire screen for writing and it's converted to text on the fly. WritePad isn't perfect, and you still need to proofread the converted text for mistakes, but as you continue to use the program, those mistakes become fewer and fewer.

Spotlight Recipe: Fish Tacosby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, January 12, 2009
Fish tacos are fresh, delicious and easy to prepare. Mix it up by using different kinds of firm fish such as halibut, mahi mahi or cod. Try soft corn tortillas instead of flour and experiment with different kinds of salsa. Green Mountain Gringo is one of my store-bought favorites, or you can make your own. A bright pineapple salsa or tangy salsa verde made with tomatillos would be a fabulous topper.

10 Advantages of JSP
Hello Readers Its Lecture 2 and we are back with another article. Hope You have read articles of Lecture 1, i.e.
Basics Of JSP and 10 Limitations Of Servlets . So now Lets begin Lecture -2. In its part 1, we will discuss about 10 Advantages Of JSP [Java Server Pages]. So here we go :
If we develop any web application with the server-side technology called JSP, we get the following benefits
- Learning JSP doesn't need strong knowledge of Java, because writing a program in JSP is nothing but making use of tags or we can say that it is meant for using tag based approach of programming.
- JSP programming is easy to learn and easy to implement for Non-Java programmers also.
- JSP programming environment provides the separation between presentation logic and business logic.
- JSP programming environment provides parallel development of web applications.
- JSP programming has implicit objects.
- JSP programming eliminates the repeated deployment problems i.e. as and when we change the JSP, we need to save the JSP and makes a request and automatic deployment is taken care by container – JASPER [JSP Execution Environment].
- JSP provides optional mechanism in configuring web application file (web.xml).
- JSP environment provides implicit/global exception handling mechanism.
- JSP programming provides and additional concept called Custom Tags Development.
- JSP programming environment provides page compilation automatically.
Hope you Liked it
Stay tuned and keep commenting.!! ill Then

Hot Dog or Bratwurst Relish
Recipe by Debber
Tangy-but-sweet! This is a GREAT way to use up the OVERSIZE cukes that get missed in the garden. Zucchinis also work well in place of the cukes! Quantities listed are approximate--you can fudge or substitute a bit and still have excellent results. NOTE: Quantities listed are for GROUND UP amounts...
Top Review by WI Cheesehead
In order to shorten the time on prep for this, I followed another recipe's instructions and, after the first couple of soaks, I simmered it all in the vinegar mix (I put the spices in a bag first) for 20 minutes, then canned it. I would not recommend canning this way. Water bath in boiling water for 10-15 minutes. I used some zucchini and 1 cup of brown sugar with 1 tsp stevia. It is tart and tasty.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 8 cups cucumbers
- 2 cups red peppers or 2 cups peeled carrots
- 2 cups green peppers
- 1 cup yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon turmeric
- 1⁄2 cup salt
- 8 cups cold water
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 2 whole cinnamon sticks
- 2 teaspoons cloves
- 2 teaspoons allspice
- 1 -2 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups white vinegar
Directions See How It's Made
- In a meat grinder, grind up cukes, peppers/carrots, and onion to obtain proper quantities; sprinkle with tumeric.
- Dissolve salt in cold water; pour over cukes, let stand 3-4 hours (or overnight).
- Drain (line a colander with cheesecloth--use clothespins to hold in place), cover again with cold water, let stand another hour; drain again.
- In a large saucepan, combine spices and brown sugar with vinegar; heat to boiling (very fragrant!); pour over cuke mixture; let stand 12-18 hours (overnight is fine, too).
- Fill canning kettle half-full of water over high heat; put canning lids & rings in a saucepan with water--simmer.
- Heat cuke mixture up in a large pot, just to the boiling point.
- Immediately scoop into pint or half-pint jars to the neck of the jar; wipe top of jar, add lid and ring, tighten.
- Place jars in canning kettle with hot water JUST to the neck of the jars; bring ALMOST to boiling point; remove from heat.
- Remove jars and place them upside-down on a thick towel for 15 minutes (set the timer).
- Tip right-side up; lids should seal in a few minutes.

À propos du livre
A visual celebration of the stunning symmetry, colors and elegance of flowers.
Having discovered, through photography, the wonder of nature. It has always been a personal ambition to publish a book and share what can be seen through the viewfinder. After photographing a wide variety of subjects for all sorts of clients for several years, finally it is done.
These images are presented to show the elegance, symmetry and colors of flowers in all their glory.
Even with superb television we can still easily take this for granted or simply don't notice. Unlike television this book is something that can be kept as a permanent and personal reminder for anyone to enjoy.
