|Re: Problems inserting XML document into CouchDB 0.10.2 on CentOS 5.4
|Mon, 05 Jul 2010 15:51:53 GMT
I also had to store xml documents in couch, and I accomplished this by modifying an xml to json library to support e4x (the xml parser that comes with couch) and using an update handler. I thought you might find it useful: http://gist.github.com/464483 Cory On Sun, Jul 4, 2010 at 4:49 AM, Nils Breunese <email@example.com> wrote: > == XML == > > Remember that CouchDB uses JSON for documents.

People have built CouchDB 0.11 on RHEL/CentOS 5, but yes, you'll need to install a separate curl >=7.18 build. You could just install curl from source. Or you could package curl >= 7.18 for installation in a location where it doesn't clash with the OS curl package and build CouchDB to find curl >=7.18 there, or maybe include curl >=7.18 in the CouchDB package itself and make it a selfcontained package. It's not impossible, it's just more work than when you're able to use the vendor's curl package. > > Nils. > ________________________________________ > Van: Himmelein, Ralf [email@example.com] > Verzonden: dinsdag 29 juni 2010 19:36 > Aan: email@example.com > Onderwerp: Problems inserting XML document into CouchDB 0.10.2 on CentOS 5.4 > > Hello CouchDB experts, > I am using CouchDB at the moment for a potential large scale implementation.

So I called them up and they said they detected "tethering" on January 21st.
Discovered that was because I used my phone to stream Pandora to my car stereo that day.
They say I'm not allowed to do that on the "unlimited plan" and they will migrate me to a "tethering plan" if I keep doing it.

The BCD301-24-12 is a Battery Equalizer that safely permits 12 Volts to be drawn of a 24V Battery bank. The unit is connected across the 24V battery bank, and its output is connected to the 12V midpoint of the battery bank. 12 Volt loads may now be connected to the lower battery, and providing the average load is less than the output capacity of the Battery Equalizer, both batteries will be maintained at the correct voltage. The BCD301-24-12 has a capacity of 25 amps. Units can be connected in parallel for even greater capacity.
The way that these units work is that the output is set to exactly ½ of the input voltage. Then as the load on the lower battery is applied, the unit takes current from the upper battery and feeds it to the lower battery to keep each at exactly ½ of the total voltage. The units are compatible with all 24V battery chargers and alternators.
Available options include a remote control and/or extra-wide temperature. We are confident that you will get many years of reliable service from this Battery Equalizer.

I've had a look through the previous posts and cannot find any solution to a problem I am having when submitting Form values to a mySql database
I have a form which submits a playerid, date and points.
I have a unique index on the database table which says that playerid and date must be unique so a playerid can only have one entry per date. This works well when submitting a form but I've run into a problem where if i'm submitting say 10 values and a duplicate entry is made for value 5.
The first four values are inserted but the fifth is not and an error message is returned.
I want this to work differently in that I check all form values before I Insert and if ANY duplicates found NO inserts should executed.
What would be the most effecient way of checking in this case ?Can I run one Select statement to check all values in Query String before I insert ?
My code is
$sql = "INSERT into " .$tbl_name. " (points,date,playerid)
values (1000,".$date.",".$_GET['1']."),
mysql_select_db($db, $conn);
if (mysql_query($sql,$conn))
echo "
Tournament Points Saved in Database";
die ('There was a problems saving the points');
thanks in advance for any advice.
add the IGNORE option to your INSERT statement
done and done
Thanks for the quick reply r937 though maybe I havent explained myself properly....From my understanding IGNORE does not enter duplicates but will not produce an error (and enter all other valid form values)but in this I want the error displayed to the user.....
What I am after is if there is a duplicate in any of the 10 values submitted via the form I want the entire submit to fail (no form values inserted into database) and for the user to go back and enter all again (preferably displaying the first duplicate which produced the error)
Say my form values are as follows
name points datetom 500 20110111mark 400 20110111tom 350 20110111
Before I Insert I want to make sure that name and date is not duplicated, if it is I do not want to Insert ANY values and display an duplication error.
What is the best method of doing this ?
thanks again,
ok, how about using a START TRANSACTION with a COMMIT or ROLLBACK as necessary
ok....i'll just go and see how to work that out!Can I just ask a few questions here.....I thought that PHP might be the way to handle this but do you reckon its best to do this on the database end ?Will this produce a meaningful error for the end user ?Its a pretty simple operation ....is this approach overkill ?
thanks again
Something like this will check for rows that prevent the insert and give more useful feedback. Databases are good for data integrity, but not necessarily UI messages.
$sql = "SELECT playerid, date, points FROM `$tbl_name` WHERE ";
for($i=1; $i<=10; $i++) {
$playerid = (int)$_GET[$i];
$sql.= "(`date` = '$date' AND playerid=$playerid) OR ";
//assumes $date is already set
//Trim trailing ' OR' from $sql
$sql = rtrim($sql, " OR ");
if($result = mysql_query($sql) AND mysql_num_rows($result)) {
$error = "
Some players already have points entered for this date:

";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$error.= "
$row[playerid] ($row[points] points)
";
echo $error . "
";
else {
//Do your update
You may want to join playerid to the table with their name so that the error message makes more sense.
i think what you have is fine -- 'There was a problems saving the points'
i don't understand why you'd want to stop Mark's data from getting in if you've messed up Tom's data, but maybe that's just me
Well if there is a single form where these records are being inserted in one conceptual action it could be confusing for the user to say "Mark's points were entered, John's points were entered, there was an error with Tom". It could be missed. Internet users aren't known for their attention to detail.
If aor has the time I'd recommend giving the most informative messages possible.
Or you could separate the valid/invalid entries and refill the form with only those that failed (so Mark's data would get in).
Thanks for all the replies. cranial is correct in saying that I have a page where the user will enter 10 results every night for a tournament so it is 'one conceptual action'I didnt want the situation where some points went through as it could get messy.
I also prob didnt fully realise that I need to check for duplicates in the Query String and also for duplicates already in database (I will use another version of the form to enter the players name so didnt want to the same player to be entered more than once)
For anyone else reading I first checked that the query string contained unique values and if it did i would send the user back to start againI then implemented cranial-bore check for duplicates already in the database
$getCount = count($_GET);
$newArray = array_unique($_GET);
$newArrayCount = count($newArray);
if($newArrayCount < $getCount) {
die('You have entered the same name more than once');
else {
$isql = "SELECT playerid, date, points FROM $tbl_name WHERE ";
for($i=1; $i<=10; $i++) {
$playerid = (int)$newArray[$i];
$isql.= "(date = '$date' AND playerid=$playerid) OR ";
//Trim trailing ' OR' from $sql
$isql = rtrim($isql, " OR ");
echo $isql.'
';
//$result = mysql_query($isql,$conn);
//echo 'result is '.$result;
if($result = mysql_query($isql) AND mysql_num_rows($result)) {
$error = "
Some players already have points entered for this date:

";
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$error.= "
$row[playerid] ($row[points] points)
";
echo $error . "
";
else {
//Do your update
$sql = "INSERT into " .$tbl_name. " (points,date,playerid)
values (1000,".$date.",".$_GET['1']."),
Thanks again r937 and cranial-bore

A summery weekend will usher in the first official day of spring on Sunday while the forecast for today calls for sun and a high of 80.
Forecaster Matt Sena of the National Weather Service said temperatures are "above normal" for this time of year, but not unexpected. The warm weather is the result of a building ridge of high pressure, Sena added.
"We're getting into spring now so it's not unusual to have a few days that are up there."
On this day last year, the high was 49 degrees, according the National Weather Service. A high of 65 is considered normal, and the record high is 84, set in 1963.
Ann Meason, a clerk at a downtown Gainesville shop that sells plants and gifts, said the warm weather has gardeners itching to plant. She plans to spread pine straw in her garden Saturday.
"It's nice because of the terrible winter," she said.
"It appears spring is here and hopefully here to stay. And hopefully there's not another frost; it could be trouble for people who start planting."
Sena said the seven-day forecast calls for warmer weather with a few cool nights, but there's no indication of a freeze in the near future.
"The latest we've had a freeze I think was about April so it's still possible," he added.
Hall County Master Gardener Ruth Brown said the weather has been excellent for plants, but it's also confusing some.
"I have noticed some plants blooming a little earlier than normal," she said. "We also haven't had any cold weather to kill our blooms so we've been lucky this year."
She added that this weekend would be a good time for fertilizing and trimming roses or bushes.
"Just get outside and really enjoy this," she said.
Tonya Stapler, secretary for Under the Bridge Ministry, said warm weather also benefits the ministry, which provides food and shelter to those in need.
"It's easier to get to the low-income community and easier for them to come to us when the weather is nice," she said.
In the square in downtown Gainesville Thursday, Richard Smith was playing gospel music on his guitar, as temperatures rose into the mid-60s. He said he came out for the cherry trees, which are in full bloom.
"I thought it would be a little cooler this time of year, but I'm not complaining," he said.

Resort promotes Sea Turtle Rescue Program
Updated 1:47 pm, Friday, July 27, 2012
Mexico: "Business incubator" has a different meaning at the CasaMagna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort, which has its own nursery for sea turtle nests. The hotel's Sea Turtle Rescue Program encourages guests to gather eggs at the beach and to name and release newly hatched turtles - some 293,000 over the last decade. www.puertovallartamarriott.com.
New York: Biking in the Big Apple - or at least renting some wheels - is about to get easier. The new Citi Bike system will offer 10,000 rental bicycles at 600 stations in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Although the official start has been delayed, the next demonstration is at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on Wednesday. citibikenyc.com.
New museum
Seoul: The latest gig of avant-garde fashion curator Judith Clark is in the bag. The Simone Handbag Museum, two floors atop the new headquarters of luxury handbag maker Simone, features her archive of about 300 Western purses from the 1500s to the present, plus related tools and mannequins. simonehandbagmuseum.co.kr.
New tour
Russia: You don't have to be a rocket scientist to join the one-time Inside the Russian Space Program tour Oct. 9-18; you just need the funds, from $14,000 per person. The MIR Corp. trip includes witnessing a spacecraft launch in Kazakhstan and, from Moscow's Mission Control, its docking with the International Space Station, with optional cosmonaut training. www.mircorp.com.
Vanuatu: Monday is Independence Day, Fête de l'Indépendance and Indipendens Aniversi here. Formerly known as New Hebrides, the island nation shed its name and the Condominium - 74 years of joint French and British rule nicknamed "the Pandemonium" - on July 30, 1980, but kept English, French and the pidgin Bislama as official languages.

So we're one month into these weekly post makeovers and today's post was thiiiiiiiiiis (you can see me pinching my fingers through your monitor, right?) close to not happening. All because of my own silly fault, of course.
I knew last Friday that the following working week was going to be a tough one and planned my work out accordingly, like a good little self-employed person. I worked hard all Monday then on Tuesday, My Official Treat Taster said that RoboCop was on at the cinema at 5pm and he wanted to see it. So I somehow ended up taking the whole day off to make cinema snacks and catch the bus so I could get there on time.
On Monday, I'd set myself a super-tight Friday deadline that I could just about make if I went at my work full-throttle for the whole week. Totally forgot about this on Tuesday when I was skipping work for the cinema of course, which left me working 15 hour days on Wednesday and Thursday in order to make it up.
Now it's Friday afternoon and I'm frantically banging this post out before a client emails me back with more work so I can share one of my most favourite recipes with you on Pink Recipe Box that I've made even better.
I decided this Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce post needed to be made over when I had some trouble with the instructions. I followed my recipe and ended up with something that looked like hot fudge sauce but tasted like caramel and was full of sugar that hadn't melted down properly. Hey – I'm not fussy, I still ate it. But that's not really good enough for you, is it?
So I played around a bit with the recipe and I'm totally happy with the new version – no chocolate-coloured caramel or crystallised sugar for you! I also got rid of those terrible, TERRIBLE photos and replaced them with pretty new ones which are so much better.
So if you're planning on having ice cream over the weekend (or homemade frozen yoghurt like I've got in the photo), whip up a batch of this Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce and take your already delicious dessert to a whole new awesome level.
Here are the link parties I link up to. Come and party with me!

Five Finger Death Punch have debuted the cover art to their much-anticipated Oct. 11 album, 'American Capitalist.'

OWN and the 'Madea Goes to Jail' director sign an exclusive multi-year deal, under which he will executive produce, write and direct two new scripted series for the network.
Oprah Winfrey is entering a business relationship with her longtime friend Tyler Perry. Her network OWN has inked an exclusive multi-year deal with the filmmaker to make the network "his singular destination for all new television series and projects."
Under the deal, the award-winning actor, director, screenwriter, playwright and producer will executive produce, write and direct two new scripted series, which are slated to premiere in mid-2013. The projects mark OWN's first foray intro scripted programming.
"I have been looking forward to the day when we would be in the position to enter the world of scripted television. That day has come," Winfrey says in a statement. "We are all energized by the opportunity to collaborate with Tyler who has a proven track record for producing highly successful cable series. He has an incredible ability to illuminate life stories and characters in his unique voice and inspires and encourages people all over the world."
David Zaslav, president and CEO of Discovery Communications, chimes in, "Bringing Tyler Perry exclusively to OWN is a major coup." Meanwhile, Perry gushes, "It's a dream realized to partner with Oprah and bring scripted programming to OWN. She has accomplished so much with the network and I'm excited to work with her to be a part of its continued growth."
Perry's previous TV works, "House of Payne", "Meet the Browns" and "For Better or Worse", have aired on TBS. The 43-year-old, who is known for creating and performing Mabel "Madea" Simmons in "Madea" film series, has worked on "The Marriage Counselor" movie adaptation which will hit U.S. theaters in 2013.

I was almost disappointed with last night′s episode of Doomsday Preppers on NatGeo TV. Instead of the program being about supersized shelters, National Geographic aired ′Prepared, Not Scared′, which follows the activities of two preppers. Bryan in Florida has a bug-out farm and plans to grow tobacco and sugar cane for bartering. Christine in Virginia who is worried about a tsunami being caused by the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands blowing up. So let us see who has the better preps?
First up is Bryan. He′s got a lot of money invested in his preparations for the collapse of the global economy. With a family of 12, he better! So he has enough survival-type food to feed his brood for a whole year. Bryan also has a secret 47-acre, bug-out farm where he plans to grow tobacco and sugar cane. With these cash crops, Bryan will set about rebuilding the world′s economy with cigarettes and booze. He also can use the alcohol to run a generator which is used to tap into the Florida Aquifer and provide him with plenty of water. If he needs fuel for his tractor, Bryan plans to shoot electrical transformers and salvage the mineral oil from them. Bryan also has invested in ammunition reloading tools and can reload nine types of ammo.
But when the poop hits the fan, Bryan is concerned about roving gangs of looters. So he has contacted his friend in California, Ron Hubbard, who owns Atlas Survival Shelters. Ron designs cylindrical shelters for all circumstances and budgets, from $8,000 to $800,000 and has been very busy lately with many military and government types buying them. Bryan′s shelter is a 5,000 square foot model and is capable of protecting his family from any Nuclear, Biological or Chemical threats. The cost is $150,000 and includes an ingenious escape tunnel. But concerns over it′s design and placement strains the friendship between Bryan and Ron. In the end, Bryan is happy and Ron′s use of out of state contractors means that no locals know the location of the shelter which is buried 20 feet below ground. The pros score Bryan;s preps at 78, giving him 16 months of post-apocalypse survival.
Christine is the prepper equivalent of a ′tiger-mom′, spending about two hours a day organizing and reorganizing her supply of goodies. In addition to food and water, she also has taken great care in having a back-up toilet complete with individual seats for her family of five. Christine went through Hurricane Isabelle in 2003 and since then has been busy preparing for something even worse. If the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands blows, it could send a massive tsunami 3,500 miles towards the U.S. East Coast at a speed of 500MPH. This would give her only 7 hours to make an escape to higher ground further inland.
Spending about $200 a month, Christine is steadily building a supply of food and other necessities for her family. She also teaches her friends about prepping, showing off her organizational skills. But a test drill of an escape shows many flaws in her plans. Loading the family van and a towed trailer took only 30 minutes, but what if the roadways are jammed with others trying to flee? Christine has a back-up escape route using inflatable rafts to make the last 10 miles by river. They take about an hour to inflate and load the rafts. Now, 2 hours into the drill, the family begins to paddle, but can only average about one mile per hour. There is no way that they can reach their shelter in time. The pros score Christine with a measly 51, giving her just 5 months, IF she can escape the tsunami!
So that was last night′s episode of Doomsday Preppers, ′Prepared, Not Scared.′ Next week will be the episode on supersized shelters that we have all been waiting for on the National Geographic Channel. Bryan is doing well prepping for an economic collapse now that Obama has been reelected and plans to raise everyone′s taxes. As for Christine, her concerns about a tsunami caused by the Cumbre Vieja volcano in the Canary Islands is not so far-fetched. The volcano is an active one that erupts at least once per century. Simon Day of the Benfield Greg Hazard Research Centre at the University College London says, ″We′re looking at an event that could be decades or a century away…″ and would send a 3,000 foot-high wall of water through the Atlantic Ocean. Yikes!

Repositioning Relaxation: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by BrocktonCruiser
Overall Member Rating
Repositioning Relaxation
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
The NCL Dawn is one of the smaller NCL ships, so it lacks a few of the big ticket amenities like water park, bowling and rock climbing. It is showing its age a bit, but was generally well maintained and clean. The pool and spa are a bit smaller than on other NCL ships we have sailed on.
Overall we were satisfield with the many dining options and the casino. We did not go to a single show (highly unusual) but there was a wide variety and reports from other passengers were that they were fun. Our previous More experience with NCL entertainment is that it is better than most cruiselines.
The weather was wonderful for the entire cruise and the ports of Curacao, Aruba, St. Maarten and St. Thomas are among our favorites, although we were not that fond of Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
My husband and I cruised in a 2 bedroom suite. The small second bedroom served as my walk-in closet and dressing room. The second bathroom is a blessing when getting ready for a day ashore or evening events.
As suite guests, as well as Platinum level Latittudes members of NCL, we were able to enjoy many ammenities. Priority boarding and disembarking, butler and concierge service, special parties and other perks are well worth the upgrades and loyalty. We each celebrated a birthday and our wedding anniversary during the trip, and it was very special. Room, casino and dining staff made sure the celebration was festive.
We cannot say enough about the friendly and attentive staff that made our vacation great.
A highlight was the Chef's Table dinner. Incredible food and wine and a chance to meet great fellow passengers. The private galley tour with the head chef the following day was an extra special treat. Less

Cabin review: SC11530 Family Penthouse with Large Balcony
This 2 bedroom family suite is great. The bedroom is a secluded oasis. The master bathroom is large, with an awesome ocean view shower and jetted tub. There is a 2nd small bathroom, which is so handy. The 2nd bedroom is small, but would be good for small children. My husband and I were alone, so it served as a walk-in closet and dressing room. Loads of storage through out the cabin. Furniture could be a bit updated and there were minor signs of wear and tear. The in-room espresso machine is a great treat. The balcony had cushioned lounge chairs, which we took advantage of.Read All Family Penthouse with Large Balcony (SC) Reviews >>

JACKSONVILLE, Fla - The Jacksonville Progressive Coalition is partnering with Florida New Majority to again seek the resignation of State Attorney Angela Corey.
The two groups held a joint press conference Friday at 7 a.m. at the Hyatt downtown to make their plea.
Those protesting are participants of the Preventing Crime in the Black Community Conference in response to the verdicts in the Michael Dunn and George Zimmerman cases, her "overly aggressive prosecution of juveniles and a known domestic violence victim, Marissa Alexander."
"We're also trying to get rid of Angela Corey because she's caused so many tears in our family and our communities," protester Biko Misabiko said. "Our youth are suffering from her destruction to our black and brown community."
"We want to stop the school-to-prison pipeline, we want to free Marissa now and we want civil citations to be the primary way to get our kids to have better lives and stop committing crime," said Estafania Galvis, organizer for Jacksonville Progressive Coalition.
The groups say they will continue to seek Corey's resignation or removal.
"If she doesn't want to listen to us, maybe we'll have to go to the people who've given her money for her campaign and start boycotting or protesting them. If she doesn't listen, we'll have to find a way to make her listen," Galvis said.

Hispania Racing has bolstered its development squad by adding greater experience to back up Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok.
- Home
- MotoGP
- Championships
- Forums
- CrashTV
- Live
Hispania Racing has underlined its determination to move up the Formula One grid by adding the experienced Christian Klien to its roster of test and reserve drivers alongside the recently-confirmed Sakon Yamamoto.
The Austrian has been looking for a way back into the top flight since being dropped by Red Bull Racing in 2006, and was listed among the potential candidates for the HRT role from the moment that Colin Kolles announced that the Spanish outfit would be looking for experience to back up rookie race pairing Bruno Senna and Karun Chandhok. Yamamoto's appointment, however, appeared to have closed the door on Klien, who had decided to forego a place in Peugeot's Le Mans squad to pursue a return to F1 this season.
"We are very proud to welcome Christian to HRT F1," team principal Kolles said, "He is a young and fast driver, and I have been keeping a close eye on him since his first races in the ADAC series as I believe he has great potential. We look forward to having Christian alongside us in Barcelona later this week so he can spend some valuable familiarisation time with the team. As a young team, we are looking for drivers who can grow with us."
Klien, who finished third in last year's Le Mans 24 Hours with Peugeot, has shown his testing ability with Honda in 2007 and BMW Sauber in both 2008 and '09. He has also run with both Spyker and Force India while the squad was under Kolles control, but has raced only sporadically - and not in F1 - during that time. He graduated to F1 with Jaguar Racing direct from the F3 Euroseries in 2004, before remaining on board during the team's transformation into Red Bull Racing.
The 27-year old will be part of the HRT team's race weekend preparations in Barcelona, and could drive on Friday morning as F1 returns to Europe for the first time in 2010. He remains a reserve for Peugeot's Le Mans programme.
"I am thrilled to be joining the HRT F1 team," the Austrian commented, "This role offers me the opportunity to rejoin the F1 environment and drive again, which is naturally where my longer-term ambitions lie. I was in Bahrain and China and have had a close look at the car already. I have also met the team members and know quite a number of them from my previous race seasons.
"I would like to thank Dr Colin Kolles for the interest he has shown in me at this stage. It is exciting and very motivating to be part of a new team structure in such a challenging sport. At only 27 years, with six seasons of F1 under my belt, I am sure I can bring a lot of experience and enthusiasm into HRT F1 Team."
Klien's appointment coincides with the start of a new management deal with Roman Rummenigge's Rummenigge Sport Marketing company, which the Austrian believed would help him land a deal after being overlooked by several teams in recent seasons.
"Last year, it became obvious that talent and speed are no guarantee for a permanent race seat in the current economic climate," he pointed out, "On two occasions, I missed out on a contract at the last minute because other drivers had a more attractive sponsor package to offer."
As well as being mentioned in connection with the HRT reserve role, Klien appears among the dozen drivers listed by Stefan GP as those to have talked with the Serbian team for 2010, and had also been linked to a possible return to the BMW Sauber team that had utilised his testing abilities in the past.

Sky News has learnt that The Carlyle Group has appointed Lazard, the investment bank, to provide advice on an exit from the RAC, which it bought from Aviva, the insurer, in 2011.
Directors are understood to have taken a decision to press ahead with a process to appoint additional banking advisors at an RAC board meeting earlier this week.
Insiders said that Lazard was focused on a strategic review of the business and that it was open-minded about the timing and structure of a sale.
The RAC, founded by the Royal Automobile Club in 1897, has more than 7m members, and has about 2000 patrols which attend 2.5m breakdowns every year.
Carlyle is said to be keen to undertake a sale before that of its principal rival, the AA.
Sky News revealed in March that a group of City investors were pressing the AA's owner to consider a listing of the company despite concerns among some of them about its substantial borrowings.
The RAC, which is owned by the same private equity group as Addison Lee, the London-based taxi company, is chaired by Rob Templeman, one of the UK's most successful executives.
Its chief executive is Chris Woodhouse, with whom Mr Templeman worked at Debenhams, the department store chain.
Aviva sold the business in 2011 to focus on its core insurance operations, but was widely regarded to have undervalued the RAC by selling it for £1bn.
Last November, the RAC paid its owners a £163m dividend as it emerged that the company was on track to make £145m in pre-tax profit last year, almost double its 2010 earnings.
It recently announced the launch of its first mobile electric vehicle charging unit and has begun selling telematic tracking devices, a growing trend among motor insurers.
Carlyle declined to comment on Friday.

Grilled Buttermilk Chicken
A soak in herb-laced buttermilk imparts a slight tang to this chicken while tenderizing the meat. The key to grilling chicken is to create two heat zones: one for high, direct heat (over the coals) and one for low, indirect heat (away from the coals).
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
Source: Martha Stewart Living, June 2010
- 4 cups buttermilk
- 15 garlic cloves
- 1 cup fresh rosemary or thyme
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 whole chickens (about 3 pounds each), cut into 8 pieces each (then halve breasts on the diagonal)
- Safflower oil, for brushing
Combine buttermilk, garlic, herbs, 2 tablespoons salt, and 2 teaspoons pepper.
Divide chicken between 2 baking dishes. Cover with marinade, turning to coat. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning chicken occasionally. Remove chicken from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling.
Heat grill to medium with direct and indirect heat zones. Brush grates with oil. Remove chicken from marinade, and pat dry with paper towels. Grill breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks, skin side down, over direct heat for 10 minutes. Flip, move to indirect heat, and grill, covered, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of thighs registers 165 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Grill wings over direct heat, flipping often, until cooked through, about 15 minutes.

katiekiki1315 AUG, 2014i am trying to be vegetarian right now, so i made this recipe with whole portabella mushrooms instead of chicken. was fantastic!! i made the chicken version for my boyfriend, he said it was great too.Reply
hjrslp17 MAY, 2012This is one of our favorite meals.....so simple, but so delicious. I typically use boneless, skinless thighs, which is outstanding, but I've also been known to use breasts as well. Leave the chicken in the buttermilk for as long as you can for the most flavor. Definitely a keeper.Reply
MarthaandMeBlogger8 JUL, 2010This was definitely moist, but lacking in flavor. You can see my results here: http://marthaandme.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/grilled-buttermilk-chicken/Reply

Neanderthal Genome is Finished and Free
Jason Mick

(Source: AP)
DNA comes from sequencing of Neanderthal toe-bone found in Siberia
Three years after an international team of experts led by researchers at the
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
in Leipzig, Germany published a
"draft" of the genome of
(commonly known as the "Neanderthal"), the team has
come back
with a higher-quality "finished" map of the genome.
I. Getting to Know Our Neighbors, Distant Ancestors
Neanderthals are one of mankind's closest relatives. Neanderthals and modern man (
Homo sapiens
) are though to have diverged from a common ancestor around 350,000 years ago. That ancestor is thought to have evolved into humans in Africa, but into Neanderthals in Europe. Another close relative, Denisovans, are thought to have diverged slightly earlier in Asia.
Nonetheless, humans and these relatives would eventually reunite and even have
intimate sexual relationships
, which led to some modern humans bearing pieces of Neanderthal/Denisovan DNA.
These "donations" from our close relatives are thought to have endowed people of European or Asian descent with hardier immune systems.
The DNA for the sequenced Neanderthal genome comes from a toe-bone found in the Denisova cave in southern Siberia.
[Image Source: Current Biology/Science]
That cave is also home to preserved human and Denisovan remains; in fact the Denisovan remains are being used to carry out a similar sequencing project on that genome.
II. Contamination, Region Variance Leave Picture Only Mostly Complete
Svante Paabo
, a geneticist who led the research, wrote in
an email
to the
Associated Press
, "The genome of a Neanderthal is now there in a form as accurate as that of any person walking the streets today."
Or it is for the Altal Neanderthals, at least. Much like modern man, where people from different areas developed unique genetic makeups, Neanderthals are hypothesized to have subtle regional differences in their genomes.
Ars Technica
points out
, it is misleading to suggest that the genome is a "complete" genome for the entirety of the Neanderthal population that once inhabited Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Rather, the Neanderthal genome represents a finished/complete picture of the Neanderthals in
Scientists think that the Altal branch of the "family tree" is complete with the finished sequencing. [Image Source: MPI]
Professor Paabo is preparing a paper on the work. He enthuses, "We will gain insights into many aspects of the history of both Neanderthals and Denisovans, and refine our knowledge about the genetic changes that occurred in the genomes of modern humans after they parted ways with the ancestors of Neanderthals and Denisovan."
The finished genome is
available here
in "BAM" format, with chromosome file sizes ranging from 1.9-13 GB a piece, depending on the size, except for the small 'Y' chromosome, which is only 331 MB.
One other way that the genome is somewhat incomplete is contamination. Analysis showed that approximately 1 percent of the DNA in the sample was contamination from the cave's later human residents. Those gaps -- and the variations between Neanderthals in different regions -- will have to be filled in with future gene studies.
"Mac OS X is like living in a farmhouse in the country with no locks, and Windows is living in a house with bars on the windows in the bad part of town." -- Charlie Miller

Living My American Dream
"Made in America... living off the land, dirty hands and a clean soul." -Toby Keith
Hi there! Welcome to the world of Lee's Bees. I own a picturesque farm in northwestern NJ called Silver Spring Farm. Every plant that grows, the chickens that cluck and dig in the yard, and even the bees I raise are cared for the old fashioned way - organically. I respect the soil, air, water - there are no chemical cleaners used in the house, either. Each product for sale in this shop is entirely made and packed by hand, by me. I raise the bees, collect the honey and wax, and each item listed is made in tiny batches. I hope that you can see the love I put into each item through the quality of the products I sell.
Bees are amazing creatures. For living beings so tiny in size, they possess far more patience, bravery and common sense than I could ever hope to have. I learn from them daily. The bees make me realize that humans do not possess the earth, we merely occupy it. Honey bees are struggling for survival. This may not seem a big thing until you put the situation into proper perspective: One out of every three bites humans eat is dependent upon the honey bee. By purchasing products from small local beekeepers like me, you are encouraging us to expand our apiaries, which in turn increases the amounts of survivor bees available to pollinate local crops and fruit trees. Know your beekeeper. Know where your honey comes from. Know that it is REAL.

Based in Auckland, New Zealand.
A Kiwi is a flightless bird only found in New Zealand, it is our official bird and a New Zealander is often referred to as a Kiwi.
New to Atheism, since 2007, took a long time.
Just starting to become active in promoting atheism. For this site I am reading the bible for the first time from cover to cover, even though I was a christian for most of my first 37 years.
I am not an expert, my background is in the study of history, so hopefully this will help.
My contribution will be pointing out weird stuff from different chapters and researching further.
The bible has been hacked to bits by everyone, no real need to do it again.
I know their are people way more familiar with the bible than I, with a bit of luck this will prompt them to jump in and correct me.
Note: I am taking quotes from the "American Standard Version" as this is in the public domain.

Summary Tab
Background for anyone coming in fresh to this - John produced an earlier prototype of the summary tab. The biggest difference was that prototype did not include borders around the various fields. He then created a 'way out there' version of the Summary tab for feedback and more recently a minimilist makeover version of the Summary tab. Hopefully having both concepts there will allow the community to discuss this page in full.
General Thoughts
- Regarding specific items:
- "Things to do" should refer to specific tabs or dialogs. Vague terms are not helpful to beginners, especially since they may feel lost due to number of available options.
- "Statistics" depends heavily on game system used. As such, "modifier total" and "stat total" are unlikely to be useful.
- "Summary" / " Summary" - replace with with a statblock template output (chosen by user, default set by main preference of a specific subsystem). This will both make it more adequate, and make dependencies easier on developers (dependencies specific to systems supported).
--Ruemere, 10 March 2010
- The racial hit dice get added as class levels automatically when you select the race, without even giving the user the stats warning, so the skill points are going to be foobared for all the racial levels if the user didn't set the stats first.
- Either adding the racial hit dice needs to be suppressed until later (addable with an extended 'Create Monster/Add Kit', or some new option on the races tab), or races with racial hit dice shouldn't be listed on the dropdown in the summary page.
- I'd also like to continue polling for adding a Deity dropdown to the Character Basics section.
--Eric Jarman
Extreme Makeover
- The 'scrap parchment' design will, I think, be quite difficult to implement. I also feel that the borders are a bit heavy.
- Our planned approach to handling the parchment background was to add that to the tab by means of a custom Java Look and Feel. Each panel (e.g. Character Basics) would then be made transparent so that the parchment was shown in that panel. This preserves the normal function of having the UI resize when the window is resized and giving extra room where it is helpful. With the 'scrap parchment; design we would be up for a lot more work with a backing image needed for each panel and custom borders for each side of each panel. Resizing would also be problematic - presumably we would have to allow for borders and the panel image to be resized. To my mind this is a lot more effort then the first prototype and I think that one looked fantastic as is.
- The new headings look great and shouldn't be too tough to implement. The only factor that might be difficult is internationalisation - here we might need to try and render these as text rather than graphics, to allow for different languages, but with a suitable font that should be ok.
- In your Statistics section could you show a racial and other modifier just to show how the columns should work please?
- I assume the fonts used are either open source or distributed with Java? Bets to avoid commercial fonts in an FOSS application like ours.
- Oh and lastly - as I mentioned before - John, I am really impressed by the design and I think this is an amazing makeover. I'm looking forward to getting in and making it happen.
--James 20:44, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'm just one user voice in the crowd, but I think the whole parchment thing is a bit busy and hokey. I get my RPG feeling at the gaming table...I don't really need it within the character editing program.
--Allen Cohn, San Francisco, 9 March 2010
- The eye-candy should be left for the final part of development and, additionally, it should be optional in case it does not fit a particular taste.
--Ruemere, 10 March 2010
- The new color theme on the summary tab looks great. I like the icons in the middle summary panel too. I think those style of icons should be extended to the tab bar at the top too.
- The ordering of the layout from left to right does make it more obvious what order things need to be added to the character in. This works well with standard races, however there is still a problem with races that have racial hit dice.
Eric Jarman
- Will this be a choice or somehow selectable? I'm not a fan of this "torn paper" look, or generally any kind of "fancy" look for applications and windows that deviates too much from the general look and feel of the operating system. If this is a fixed look, I'm not really happy about it.
- I really hate the torn paper thing.
--Andrew Wilson
- The Summary is okay, the UI "needs" to be spiffed dp for new users. But it needs to be skinnable, for the ones that are used to it, or are playing in non-fantasy systems (note make it an option setable by the gamemode/dataset). Also we should keep in mind that not all systems will have the 6 (or 7 with deities) stats that d20 has.
Nylanfs 02:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Minimalist Enhancement 0.1
- The race section doesn't need to show the whole race. Some of the ones in the full SRD currently squash the right hand panels way down on my 1024x768 laptop. If it shown a certain number of character's followed by ... then when you clicked on it, it would show the full race name would be excellent. This applies to both screens.
- Two things that I would "like" to see, a) Current weight listed on the load section for the what the currently selected equipment set b) Better design for smaller resolutions (ie netbooks, my ancient laptop). I'll email you and John a screen shot of what I'm curently seeing with the full RSRD loaded.
Nylanfs 02:04, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
- I certainly like the minimalist version. I don't particularly like showing the same information in more than one place, though. Looks like most of the information in the "Statistics" section already appears somewhere else on the summary page. That's just asking for confusion.
- I like the Minimalist version a lot more than the previous extreme version, although I think the content on the tabs is similar. I'm not sure what purpose the "Open Race Tab" and siblings serve. Are they supposed to replace the tabs along the top? (which don't seem to have gone away).
- Shouldn't the ability scores section have some means to roll/reroll the stats?
- An indication of the current roll method or point buy system would be nice.
- Also, if the stats are generated by point buy can we have some means to say whether the character is "legal" according to that point buy system, please.
- Where did the icons beside the details below the Ability scores come from? Do they serve any purpose?
--Andrew Wilson
Minimalist Enhancement 0.2
The only thing support wise I'd like to ensure is the Six Abilities are expandable to cover more or less Stat Abilities. I'm not sure if we covered that in the skype discussion last time or not.
Also, it may be me; but can we change the icon from a little checkmark on a clipboard to a Red Exclamation Mark '!'... Something that indicates something is needed here. I think a Red Exclamation Mark would be a better eye-catcher and univerally understood then a checkmark in a clipboard that almost blends in with the tabs. Perhaps a Dark Solid Circle with the Exclamation inside it... That's just me though.
This is me, but can we have the 'Need Something Done Here' Icon 'space' stay fixed spacewise on the tab (i.e. the tab size stays constant instead of change if the icon is present)... it's a pain to click on a tab only to have the wrong tab opened because the tabs changed size due to an item needing attention.
In fact, I don't know how hard this would be, but can we get something like that for the Subtabs...
"Ability: Bonuses Remain to be selected" < What is that referencing?
--Andrew Maitland
I (almost) always use point-buy for Ability scores so it would be useful to me to see the points spent on buying abilities: both total spend and per-ability.
I don't see any need to see the sum total of Ability scores (can't think where it is used in game system), nor sum total of ability modifier scores.
I second suggestions for a bolder brighter "this tab needs attention" - eg the red exclamation point. (Beware with "red" that some Windows colour schemes may use red for borders, rendering red markers unintelligible...)
Remember also that some "need attention" is more important than others - eg if you allow the option to spend language points later than 1st level (eg when taught a new language by strangers) then "need to spend language points" is a low-attention nag", not a "high-attention nag"
Is (left) handedness really a front-page item, as important as race, alignment and deity? It has almost no in-game effect...
The central statistics block repeats other front-page items like race and alignment. You could make some central boxes have pop-over editors - click on them and an editor is drawn there. (Makes it look to humans like the text is actively editable even though it's not.)
The 'edit' button next to HP in the Encounter details pane seems out of place since everything else in those panels are just display. I would suggest the Edit hit points button belongs over in the class and level pane where there is already a HP column in the class table. The HP total can stay where it is, just move the button.
I like the layout but I'm concerned that it doesn't address the issue of being able to fit on smaller screens which is a problem with the current layout. Most of the other tabs allow the user to adjust the window borders as desired and it's always bothered me that the summary tab didn't allow for that. How hard would it be to implement that?
What happens to the Languages and Class tables when the overflow? Can we assume a slider will appear so you can scroll?
The languages table is a good addition to the summary tab and get us 1/3 of the way to eliminating the odd tab/window it came from. However it needs to account for adding languages from two different sources, bonus languages for high INT and those purchased with skill points. Maybe this can be handled within the design of the window that opens when you click the add language button so that it is apparent how the language is gained in there rather than just having two buttons in the summary tab.
I would love it if the program could remember where you set your windows to.
-- Eddy
I use a netbook on occasion and PCGen doesn't fit within its 1024x600 screen as it is.
Also, in relation to the other tabs and the ability to resize the panes, PCGen on the Mac doesn't remember the pane sizes well. I am constantly having to resize the panes back to where I can see whats in them. PCGen seems to want to provide the most real-estate for the lower right pane.
- Me likey, a lot =)
- That being said, I like the idea of changing the clipboard w/checkmark to either an exclamation mark, or colour the tab differently for things that still need to be addressed.
- @ Saxum: some older farts (like me) still use random determination when generating stats, as such having the sum total of ability
bonuses/penalties is handy, being that if they are 0 or less you can scrap the character and generate new ability scores. Not so sure about having the sum total of ability scores handy though <shrug>
- I also agree w/Eddy's comments concerning language selection and the "Edit" button next to HP in the 'Encounter Details' section - unless that button is meant for temporary adjustments to the HP total during encounters, in which case it makes a lot more sense to have it there as I know lots of people actually have PCGen up and running at the game table.
Nicer than the "Extreme Makeover". It would be better is the background to the panes where white.
I like these suggestions, Andrew. I will admit that I like the looks of all three on the page, but can see how the Extreme is graphics intensive (and therefore like CPU intensive on slower machines).
Abilities comment is a good one, because I like that this program is designed to be programmable by users.
The red exclamation point would work really well. Being able to have something next to what needs to be worked on would make it quite clear - you need to pick languages? Click here. You need Feats? Click on that tab. Something that clearly stands out from the tab or area that it's in.
Just my thoughts as a user and NOT a programmer.
--Keith McComb
I kind of like the "Extreme Makeover" option, but that would be graphics intensive. Either of the minimal options are improvements over the current interface. I would like to see how the spells and inventory tabs would layout in this new interface, as they are just as busy as the front screen. Any ideas there?
Thanks for a quality product!
With regards to "This is me, but can we have the 'Need Something Done Here' Icon 'space' stay fixed spacewise on the tab (i.e. the tab size stays constant instead of change if the icon is present)... it's a pain to click on a tab only to have the wrong tab opened because the tabs changed size due to an item needing attention." - I second this. This is so annoying. Especialy on a PC where PCGen for some reason is very slow. (In reference to )
I would like to mention one little annoyance which is loosely GUI related. You go the the Description tab and open a note. Description for instance. There you edit a bit and then switch focus to an other application. When you switch focus back to PCGen it will switch to the Portrait note. Very annoying.

So, a male porn star walks into a bar. I'm going to call him PS for short, to keep things simple. I've seen PS around Chicago before; a couple years back, we ended up at the same karaoke event until 6 a.m. But we hadn't talked much until I ran into him at the aforementioned bar, attending a fundraiser for sex workers' rights. See, I write about sex with a focus on S&M and I do activism around it as well, so I end up coordinating with sex worker activists a lot. Plus, sex workers totally know how to put the 'fun' in 'fundraiser.'
As we sipped on drinks, PS and I chatted about sex education, work/life distinctions, and that sex toy demonstration at Northwestern that landed a professor in the center of a controversy.
A woman over at the pool table took her shirt off and placed her breasts distractingly over one of the corner pockets. There was lots of affectionate kissing going on around the room by the time PS called it a night. But when he tried to kiss me on his way out, I pulled back.
"Why?" he asked, seeming confused.
I usually see it as a warning sign when a man questions my "no," but I had to admit that my behavior was unusual for the environment.
"Why not?" I responded.
"Fair enough," he said, grinning at me, and walking out. Oh, good, I thought; I liked him, but if he'd been pushy, I would have written him off.
A week later, when I ended up in his neighborhood on a Saturday afternoon, I sent him a text.
Now, I need to tell you about my previous two dates before I tell you how things went with PS. Thursday night, I'd had a dinner that, okay, wasn't an explicit date but was a catch-up session with tentative flirting. But it started to feel even less like a date when the guy explained how much he liked a blog I think is misogynist — in particular, he loved a post talking about how the American economy would be much better off if women couldn't vote.
He seemed surprised when I got upset. "I just thought it might be interesting to talk about," he said. I made a counter-suggestion: if only men weren't allowed to vote, America might get involved in a lot fewer mind-blowingly expensive wars. (I dislike bringing myself down to that level, but it seemed like the best way to make my point.) Hey, taking the vote from men: wouldn't that be just as interesting to talk about? Apparently not, as this guy changed the subject.
Friday night, I went out with a grad student. I'd think that a grad student would be able to handle me, but midway through the evening he asked me, "Could you please say something that's not analytical?" He later informed me that he had little interest in an emotional bond and was mostly interested in having sex with me. I'm a fan of explicit sexual communication, so I appreciated his honesty, and I hypothesized that he might be fun in bed, so I was willing to give it a try. Or at least, I was willing to try it until he pulled back from making out with me and said: "Kissing is too emotional." Really?
Back to Saturday. You can imagine my state of mind. Yet notwithstanding the inevitable misanthropic tinge to my day, I was in a good mood when I texted PS. Hope springs eternal, right? At the very least, I could be sure that kissing wasn't too emotional for him.
As I stepped into PS's apartment for dinner, I found:
- A charming cat.
- Many issues of AVN magazine.
- A wall of porn photos and a shelf of his DVDs. In one of the central photos, PS's ex-girlfriend gazes sweetly up at him while performing a blowjob.
"Striking," I said. "What do your other visitors think?"
"You know, I had guys doing construction here at one point, and they asked if they could meet my girlfriend," he said. "I told them if they did a good job, I'd bring her in and they could watch us while they worked."
We sat down with glasses of red wine and got to know each other. We talked about work, cities we've lived in, a festival in Venice. We discussed the pitfalls of open relationships — turns out, women often think they can date porn stars without getting jealous, and are often wrong. (Similarly, a lot more men think they want open relationships than actually do.)
Another reason I often enjoy talking with sex workers is that we experience sexual stigma similarly. Many people who meet me know that I'm an S&M writer, and they stereotype the hell out of me — just as people stereotype sex workers. People call us deviant, assume that we were abused as children, or exhibit weird entitlement to our personal space and ask weird questions. (Example: "So, are you capable of having normal sex?" Dude, if you're going to ask that question, then you should first define both "normal" and "sex.") Usually, the men I date who understand this are other S&Mers; but PS got it too.
We discussed cats. I admired his tattoos. I described my date with the grad student, and PS made hilarious references to the "stop being analytical" line for the rest of the evening. We had second glasses of wine. PS made a joke referencing Hamlet, and when I was done laughing he kissed me.
"Do you have a camera running?" I asked.
"No," he said. "Why? Do you want one?"
It's hard to be a woman in our society without feeling incredibly self-conscious about your body. I'm pleased to report that I'm mostly over this. On the other hand, it's easy for those anxieties to resurface when you're having sex with a porn star. At some point, he complimented me, and I found myself shrugging it off. "Whatever, porn star," I said.
He laughed at me. "Whatever, BDSM girl," he mocked — and I realized that whatever flash of intimidation I felt about his porn career, he might feel equally as much about my varied S&M experiences.
PS himself was mostly vanilla; S&M wasn't normally his thing. But he also wasn't weird about S&M, which is just as important as being into it as far as I'm concerned. Nor was he weird about my unshaven legs. In fact, he didn't seem to notice them.
Plus, I didn't get any crap at all from PS about how women are ruining the economy by voting.
PS tried to convince me to sleep over, but at around 1:30 a.m., I remembered that I had an interview the next morning and sleeping over would be inconvenient. He insisted on walking me out to catch a taxi, though he certainly didn't have to. As we waited, I asked how girls usually react when and if they find out he's a porn performer.
He thought about it. "Sometimes girls are appalled by it, and sometimes they're fascinated by it," he said. "The problem is, even when they're fascinated by it, they're not necessarily cool with it. And you never know how they're going to react in the long term."
"Right!" I exclaimed. "It's like, you think they understand, and then three months down the line they come out with some ridiculous stereotype, and you're like, Have you been thinking that the whole time?"
"Exactly," he said. We smiled at each other.
He kissed me again when the taxi came.

Welcome to the Thursday edition of the Skull Session, sports fans.
Wanted to take a little trip down misery-memory lane for a second, if y'all don't mind. Come along, won't you?
The year was 2004. Ohio State was in turmoil. After losing three straight games to Northwestern, Wisconsin and Iowa, the Buckeyes were struggling to find an offensive identity, and after the embarrassment in Iowa City, they turned their offense over to an athletic sophomore QB. Three straight wins ensued, including big wins against Penn State and Michigan State, and momentum, it appeared, had moved back in the direction of Tressel's troops.
For all that seemed to be trending in the right direction for the Buckeyes, the week leading up to the Buckeyes game at Purdue on November 13th could not have started any worse.
An ESPN the Magazine article detailed some unsavory claims made by an angst-ridden ex-player. Ohio State was in the national spotlight for the wrong reason, and claims of a rogue program overshadowed an on-the-field resurrection. Gameday arrived in West Lafayette, and the Buckeyes, who felt they had turned their season around, fell flat on their face and were upset by Purdue 24-17.
The following Saturday, the Buckeyes hosted the 7th ranked Michigan Wolverines and won the first of what has become 7 straight victores over their maize and blue clad rivals. They then went on to beat up Oklahoma State and Les Miles in the Alamo Bowl, with a gimpy Justin Zwick and Ted Ginn, Jr. handling the QB duties as Troy Smith, the engineer of the revitalized offense, sat what would be the first of two games for impermissible benefits he received from an Ohio State booster.
That Michigan Saturday was the last time Ohio State entered into a game with four losses, and what followed it was a six year run of Buckeye domination that most of us have never seen in our lifetime.
The point?
We've been here before, Buckeye fans. Sure, we don't have quite the same captain steering the ship, but the waters will calm.
The Buckeyes, although brusied and battered, will sail smoothly again.
RING AROUND THE POSEY. What does the return of Devier Posey mean to Ohio State's offense in general, and to the wide receivers specifically? Well, it's impossible to say, really. The ol' Boll Weevil likely has numerous tricks up his sleeve to make sure that Posey doesn't get too involved in the gameplan, but if someone can maybe, oh, I don't know, hit him over the head with a frying pan, Posey could certainly open things up a bit for Ohio State's 118th ranked passing offense (117 yard per game...blech).
Ohio State's wide receivers (not including TE or RB) have a combined 46 catches and 745 yards on year, to go along with five touchdowns. In each of the last two seasons, Posey bested all of those statistics by himself with 53 catches, 848 yards and 7 scores in 2010; and 60 catches, 828 yards and 8 touchdown grabs as a sophomore in 2009.
There is no Dane Sanzenbacher opposite of Devier this year, but his presence alone should at least give the defensive coordinators at Penn State and Michigan a little bit of pause before they decide to load the box with nine defenders. Hopefully the Buckeyes offensive line, who has struggled in pass protection all year (the Buckeyes have surrendered 33 sacks on the year), gives Braxton some time to set his feet and make good throws.
GOOD NEWS FOR 2012? This year's version of the Silver Bullets may have been doomed from the start. It's never easy to replace seven starters on defense, even for a team that has so regulary reloaded after key NFL losses. Then came the disciplinary issues that limited Corey Brown, Travis Howard, Jordan Whiting, and Solomon Thomas. The linebackers, always a position of strength for Ohio State were thinned considerably by transfers, losing Jonathan Newsome and Dorian Bell, but also highly-touted incoming freshman E'Juan Price, who renegged on his letter-of-intent with Ohio State and decided to attend Pittsburgh.
Then Nathan Williams suffered what was a seemingly insignifcant knee injury againt Akron in the defense's lone shining moment of the 2011 season, a 42-0 win. Williams, who had 45 tackles last year, was the second-leading returning tackler on a defense that could ill-afford to lose any more pieces.
That injury was more serious than anyone knew when Nate missed the Miami game in week three. The microfracture in his knee would require season-ending surgery, and just like that, Williams joined the list of Buckeyes who were MIA.
Ohio State has struggled since his loss. His absence in the pass rush is evident, as Ohio State has only notched 22 sacks in 10 games, and the Silver Bullets have been for the most part, been firing blanks all season. The defense is giving up 18.9 points a game on the season, after giving up 13.2 over the last five years. Heacock's defense has been a pillar of defensive consistency, regularly ranking in the top 5 nationally in scoring defense and rushing defense, but this year's team couldn't helped but be impacted by the turmoil surrounding the program.
"So what's the good news, Jeremy?"
Expect Nathan to be back next year. Along with Ro-Ro, Dominic Clarke, Travis Howard, Christian Bryant, Orhian Johnson, CJ Barnett, Etienne Sabino, Storm Klein, Ryan Shazier, Jonathan Hankins, etc, etc...you get the point.
Oh, and throw John Simon into the "expect him to be back camp", as well.
2012 might be the end of the world - for Big Ten offenses.
GEE, THANKS, COACH. I don't normally write about NFL stuff, but I couldn't help but give a mention to the verbal assault on Broncos QB Tim Tebow yesterday from his own coach. John Fox, when asked about the style with which his team has won their last two games, began his comment innocently enough, stating that his team will do whatever it takes to win. Of course, everyone knows that the Broncos completed two passes in their win at Kansas City last week, so that point was true enough.
Fox could have left well enough alone, but instead decided to take it a step further, directing the next comment at his quarterback directly.
"I mean, what the hell? You don't get points for style in this league. Let me tell you something: My man is really good in this offense. You know what I mean?"
Even that was not so bad, but Fox continued to clarify his position.
"If we were trying to run a regular offense, he'd be screwed."
I get what Fox is trying to say, I really do. Tebow is not currently suited for a regular, NFL style offense, but for all the attacks lobbed in his direction from the national media and fans posing as experts, it's shocking to hear an NFL coach pigeonhole his own guy in that manner. Then again, it's not the first time someone in blue and orange has called Tebow out publicly. To his credit, Fox did back him up - that time.
MORE TALENT COMING TO BUCKEYE BALLERS? A team that is as talent-rich as any in Buckeye hoops history may be on the verge of getting some more good news. LaQuinton Ross, a 6'8" 220 pound freshman wing player, who was ruled academically ineligible in late September, plans to be at Ohio State as early as December 9th, according to Bob Baptist of the Columbus Dispatch. He was enrolled at the school in September when he received news that the NCAA had determined he was ineligible after his high school grades were changed following a transfer from Mississippi to New Jersey. The change lowered his core GPA, and that combined with his SAT score, was enough to drop him out of the safe zone in the NCAA's "sliding scale".
Ross was the 43rd ranking player in the country according to Rivals.com, and 44th nationally on Scout.com. According to Baptist, Ross was the best Buckeye freshman on the floor in the summer "without question", a strong statement when you consider the talent of fellow newcomers Shannon Scott, Amir Williams, Sam Thompson and Trey McDonald.
QUICK SLANTS. A look at the "Buckeye NutHouse" from the inside out - All that's wrong with America today - Being a Buckeye still means a lot to a lot of people - The Penn State police say McQueary never filed a police report, contrary to his now public email, and was obviously very distraught by Sandusky's actions - Zombies are everywhere, and they will eat your memes...

Paula Deen Weight Loss
Published: June 28, 2012
Paula Deen Weight Loss, Six months after revealing her Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, Paula Deen has lost 30 pounds. The celebrity chef who is most famous for her abiding love of all things buttery, cheesy and fried told People Magazine : "I do think differently now … I'm more aware."
Deen now eschews favorite comfort foods like mashed potatoes in favor of fish and salads, according to the report. "If you make a few small changes, they can add up to big results," she told People.
The Food Network star announced her Type 2 diabetes diagnosis only six months ago, though she'd been living with the disease for three years, prompting criticism that her announcement was financially motivated, as she'd signed a multi-million dollar deal to be a spokesperson for Victoza — a Type 2 diabetes drug made by Novo Nordisk. That deal, combined with her on-air persona as the decadence-loving creator of such items as the doughnut burger and rib casserole prompted some outrage, with Daniel Snyder of The Atlantic referring to her cuisine style as "abject gluttony."
"Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later," Anthony Bourdain famously tweeted.
"Honey, I'm your cook, not your doctor," Deen told NBC in response to the critics. But she also insisted that she was managing her condition through a combination of Victoza and lifestyle changes. Soon after, photos of Deen chowing down on a cheeseburger again put her in hot water.
But since then, Deen reveals to People, she's been making a concerted effort to lose weight, eat healthier and even exercise. And that's important as diet and exercise are the two main treatments for Type 2 diabetes, according to the National Institutes of Health. (Huffington Post)

I first took my children to Tanzania when my youngest was five. In the north its quite easy to have your own driver guide and your own vehicle; if you have that then you can do what you like. I travelled with children aged five, eight, eleven and thirteen plus their parents a group of ten. We had two vehicles and did what we wanted. You can do that in Kenya as well, but I think that Tanzanias northern circuit has more places to stop, so its easier to break up the journey without travelling for miles and miles.
If you have the right guide youll have a brilliant time. Ours had my youngest sat on his knee and he was driving the vehicle through the national park! Its all about picking the right way to do a safari and choosing accommodation that has a pool. But if you choose the wrong places to stay and a guide not prepared for children, you wont have a brilliant time, you wont be able to let off steam at the end of the day and it can be quite boring if the children choose to tune out of the wildlife and are just sat in a car all day.
