Dual-core Atom processor. Nvidia's Ion platform benefits smooth HD playback and light 3D gaming. Lightweight. Full size keyboard. Fastest netbook available. Large 12-inch widescreen. HDMI port included. 2GB of RAM standard
Battery life is a tradeoff.
Bottom Line
The ASUS EeePC 1201N is the fastest netbook money can buy, but its tradeoff is battery life just 4 hours of it.
Nvidia's ION platform, which promises 1080p video playback and light 3D gaming, is finally showing signs of life. First, HP launched with its Mini 311 and then Lenovo and Samsung followed with their own Ion netbooks. Hot on their heels is ASUS, with yet another Ion netbook. Like its predecessors, the ASUS EeePC 1201N ($484 street) uses a variant of the Nvidia GeForce 9400M graphics chipset, but it's slightly different in that it's the first netbook that bundles a dual-core Atom processorthe 1.66GHz Intel Atom N330. Netbook snobs and HD enthusiasts will appreciate that it's the fastest and one of the best netbook in the market, though the 4 hours of battery life is its one tradeoff.

Design and Features
The ASUS 1201N is long and slim and takes its design cues from the ASUS EeePC 1101HA. Like most of its EeePC predecessors, it's wrapped in shiny plastics: The black version is a magnet for fingerprints and smudges, so you're better off with the silver one. Its 3.2 pound frame is light among other 12-inch netbooks like the Samsung NC20 (12GBK), and Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (Ion), which weigh 3.3 and 3.4 pounds, respectively. The MSI U210 (008US) is the lightest 12-inch netbook, at 3 pounds.
For a netbook, the 12-inch widescreen is a wealth of screen real estate, especially when the typical netbook screen averages 10 inches. Its 1,366-by-768 resolution, naturally, is a lot higher than the one found in a 10-inch netbook like the Toshiba mini NB205 and HP Mini 5102, and matches the one found in the HP 311 and MSI U210. The 1201N marks the first time an ASUS EeePC shipped with a full size keyboard (previous EeePCs are smaller in size, and their keyboards top out at 92%), even though many of its competitors are offering full size experiences on smaller frames. It uses an island-style format that ASUS and every other PC company have been very partial to as of late, which doesn't detract from the typing experience.
With an Nvidia chipset, you're guaranteed an HDMI port. With it, you can use the 1201N to stream HD content to an external flat panel that supports the format. It's the same port found in the HP 311 and Lenovo S12 (Ion). The 250GB hard drive, three USB ports, media card reader, Ethernet port, and Webcam are all standard netbook features that you can find in 10-inch netbooks, too.
I've seen the 1.66GHz Intel Atom N330 in nettops like the ASUS EeeBox. A dual core Atom processor, however, is a first on a netbook. Running on two physical processor cores improved performance by a considerable margin, as the previous generation of Atom processors are single-core only. More impressive is that the 1201N ships with 2GB of RAM off the bat (the HP 311 and Lenovo S12 come standard with 1GB). As such, its video encoding score of 3 minutes 19 seconds dominated the S12 (4:51) and Mini 311 (4:54). Even netbooks that run on an AMD Neo processor (like the MSI U210) or an Intel Pentium CULV (Toshiba Satellite T115-S1105)processors considered speedier than a single core Atomfell short of the ASUS 1201N in terms of performance.
The benefits of Nvidia's ION chipset are two-fold: First, you'll be able to play games like World of Warcraft and Spore without restrictions (moderately intensive 3D games should be played with all the eye-candy turned off). The 1201N, furthermore, scored better than the HP 311 and Lenovo S12 (Ion) in 3DMark06 tests, thanks in part to the dual core Atom processor. Plus, 1080p videotested at various bit rates and formatsplayed back beautifully on the system and over the HDMI interface (with a Samsung LN55A950 LED Display). And all of my testing was done at full screen.
The only concession is battery life, although this is usually the consequence of bundling the fastest Atom processor and an Nvidia platform; the 1201N ships with a 63WH (6-cell) battery, which drained after 4 hours 20 minutes on MobileMark 2007 tests. It scored over an hour less than the HP 311 (5:29) and only slightly better than the Lenovo S12 Ion (4:06). Netbooks like the Toshiba NB205 and HP 5102, which run on a single-core Atom processor and Intel integrated graphics, completed their battery tests with scores in the 8-10 hour range; though they lack the 3D and HD benefits.
Most netbook users will be satisfied with over 4 hours of battery life, which is why I'm recommending the ASUS EeePC 1201N over other netbooks in the 12-inch space. For a very reasonable price ($484), it's ideal for sophisticated netbook users looking for that extra burst of speed. Those who are looking for a general netbook should consider the Toshiba mini NB205 (now the NB305) and HP Mini 5102.

You've just discovered text2vec!
text2vec is an R package which provides an efficient framework with a concise API for text analysis and natural language processing (NLP).
Goals which we aimed to achieve as a result of development of
See API section for details.
Author of the package is a little bit obsessed about efficiency.
This package is efficient because it is carefully written in C++, which also means that text2vec is memory friendly. Some parts (such as GloVe) are fully parallelized using the excellent RcppParallel package. This means that the word embeddings are computed in parallel on OS X, Linux, Windows, and even Solaris (x86) without any additional tuning or tricks.
Other emrassingly parallel tasks (such as vectorization) can use any parallel backend which supports foreach package. They can achieve near-linear scalability with number of available cores.
Finally, a streaming API means that users do not have to load all the data into RAM.

'We all need companions willing to listen to us'
One of the things I learned when serving as Spiritual Care Director at a Hospice was that dying people don't really want someone to cheer them up.
They need someone to meet them wherever they may be on a given day, someone who can be compassionate yet comfortable with their tears, their confusion, their worries, or their humour.
When any of us is hurting, feeling loss, grief, confusion, anger, or joy for that matter, the last thing we need is for someone to talk us out of it.
Quaker theologian Douglas Steere said, "To listen another's soul into a condition of disclosure and discovery is almost the greatest service any human being ever performs for another."
I don't know why we are so ready to come up with little sayings, like 'it's okay' 'be strong' and 'you need to fight this'.
Not to mention all manner of sayings about God's will, as if we can speak for Him.
One day when I was at the airport, a woman I had recently met beckoned me over to sit with her.
She told me she was leaving the island to visit a sister in Auckland who was very ill.
She said, "I don't know why she asks for me. She's surrounded by family. And I visited her a couple of months ago."
"What do you do that is different?" I asked her.
"Well, they all tell her to fight it, and I don't. I just sit with her and listen and hold her hand."
"To me, that is called 'spiritual companioning'", I said.
"She must feel peaceful when you are there."
"Yes, she does seem to calm down."
Then she asked an important question.
"What do I do when she cries?" I said, "When she cries, use your compassionate curiosity and ask her 'What are those tears?' and then listen. If she can no longer speak, say 'Good on you, Sis, bless your healing tears.'"
Her face lit up and she said, "I can do that. And I'll ask God to make her well."
"Do you honestly think she is going to get well?"
Sadly, she shook her head. "Well, maybe it's best to ask God to do His will and to give her mercy. Only God knows how long she is meant to live."
She cried a bit and I sat with her, holding her hand.
Then I said, "I'll tell you a great secret. Before you see her, put a shield over your heart of detachment and compassion, so that you can be with her without taking on her feelings."
We hugged and I told her "Your sister is really blessed to have your compassionate presence at a time like this." Then she went out to board the plane.
Her sister did die, and I'm sure my friend's peaceful, accepting presence was a mercy for her in her last days, giving her a more graceful end of life experience.
We all need companions willing to listen to us at any time of life.

Heres the walk through for the 2.5 T-Maxx transmission 3 speed conversion.
Its quite long so I am posting it in 5 parts.
If you attempt this mod please be careful with the power tools or whatever tools you use and wear your safety glasses.
I cant be held responsible for any damages you may incur to yourself, the transmission or your Maxx. Higher speeds will result in more damage in the event of a high speed crash.
Take your time and read it thoroughly. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
The first thing needed for the 3 speed conversion is modification to the tranny housing.
If you cannot complete this part the rest is even more difficult.
The front half of the housing needs to be modified by removing some plastic in the area of the primary forward gear. The addition of primary 3rd gear, hub, clutch and relocation of the primary forward output gear require it.
I used a 1 and ¼ inch forstner bit chuck in a drill press with a jig to hold the case plum and square with the table. A dremel can also be used with a sanding drum, just be careful not to sand all the way through the housing. I removed the plastic to a 16mm depth.
This needs to be centered with the primary shaft bearing as best as possible as there is little room for error.
Next you will need to drill two holes in the front half in the area where the forward/reverse shaft would be to install a plug for access to the 3rd gear shift point adjustment.
The two holes are different sizes for the stock plug, so choose the bit that suites you best depending on the plug you use
I chose to also use a larger bearing for the primary shaft.6x12x4mm. I enlarged the primary shaft bearing recess to 12mm (in both halves) with a 12mm forstner bit. Be careful to center the bit when making the hole larger. (A jig comes in handy here as well)
If you have the means to make the needed new primary shaft, it can be cut down to fit the stock 5x11x4 bearing and you can skip this step if you want. (I like larger bearings and its easier than reducing the size of the primary shaft ends).
Thats all the modifications needed to the tranny housing.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
Next the input (slipper shaft) needs to be modified with the addition of another gear.
I chose to use the largest gear I could fit without any modifications to the tranny housing.
I used a 28T 2.5 T-Maxx forward primary gear.
The gear hub needs to be cut off; the face of the gear reduced (to clear the housing) and a hole is drilled through the input shaft and gear to attach the gear with the supplied grub screw pin that comes with the forward primary gear.
Forward primary gear.
Forward primary gear with hub cut off.
Hole drilled through input shaft.
Hole through gear.
Gear attached to the input shaft. The E-Clip is still needed.
That completes the input modification.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
Next are the most difficult parts; the primary shaft and gears.
A new 6mm primary shaft is needed to add the 3rd gear.
I used an aluminum shaft to get all my measurements correct and later made a new shaft out of steel.
The shaft is simple; its the same length as the original primary shaft and 6mm in diameter.
The stock 2.5 tranny 1st and 2nd gear hub assemblies including the OWB are used and mounts on the new primary shaft just as it does to the stock shaft. I simply countersunk a hole to lock the 2nd gear clutch to the shaft instead of notching the shaft.
The parts I used for the primary 3rd gear assembly include;
1 Tower part # LXKHH2.
1 Tower part # LXDLG1.
1 6x12x4mm bearing.
3 2mmx8mm threaded screws and washers.
The 32T gear hub needs to be shortened; a bearing recess needs to cut into it and the area where the attachment screws to the hub are needs to be widened.
Not an easy task, but a drill press, dremel, files, and sanding stones will all come in handy.
Stock 32T gear.
Gear with hub cut to length and widening of the attachment screw locations.
Gear with bearing recess cut into it.
Gear with bearing installed.
Next the 3rd gear clutch hub needs to be modified to fit the 3rd gear.
Again, a drill press, dremel and assortment of files can get the job done.
Stock clutch hub prior to modification.
Clutch hub after modification. Take off just enough material around the hub to let the hub fit into the recessed area of the 3rd gear.
My fit was tight enough that I slightly heated the gear and chilled the hub for a perfect fit.
Attach the hub to the gear with the 3 2mm screws. (Use Loctite).
3rd gear with hub attached.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
The 3rd gear and hub with bearing is then slid onto the primary shaft.
Be sure to use a Teflon washer between the 3rd gear hub and the OWB.
3rd gear, hub and bearing on primary shaft.
Note: a washer/bushing is then needed between the bearing and clutch.
Install the clutch on the shaft and secure it with the grub screw so that it allows the gear and hub to spin freely on the shaft with a s little play as possible.
I counter sunk the shaft for the location of the grub screw.
Once installed, 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears should spin freely on the primary shaft with little play. 1st gear should engage the shaft with the OWB when rotated clockwise (while looking at the 2nd gear clutch hub.
Next you need a forward output gear. I have always thought the stock FO was a weak point due to its narrow width so I installed a Revo forward only gear. Parts # 5394X.
I used the primary gear from the set, cut the shoulder to length so it would ride against the tranny housing bearing and drilled the primary shaft to mount the gear with the included grub pin screw.
Be sure to leave a few millimeters between the forward primary and the 3rd gear clutch and hub so it does not bind.
That completes the new primary shaft and gear assemblies.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
Next you will need a 2.5 FOC output shaft and gear.
This is pretty straight forward. All thats needed is to remove the gear from the shaft.
Flip the gear over; orient it on the shaft so it meshes with the new forward primary gear.
Drill a new hole in the shaft and remount the gear.
FOC shaft with new hole location.
FOC shaft with gear mounted/flipped in new location.
That completes the FOC output shaft and gear.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
The rest is simply installing the shaft and gear in the housing.
Input shaft installed.
Primary shaft installed. Slightly raise the input shaft while installing the primary.
Output FOC shaft installed.
Tranny halves matched together completes the conversion.
Image of mesh between the primary forward output and the FOC output gears.
Much beefier than the stock forward primary.
3rd gear shift point adjustment is much easier than you would think with the tranny installed. The only difficult part is the access plug is located where the stock battery box would be and it or the fuel tank that may have taken its place needs to be removed for access.
Thats it! 3 gears and a stronger forward primary.
Hope you enjoy.

Am I done yet? The wife keeps telling me yes!

Great job Snook Man. Very talented and way to think out of the box (Transmission).
FLM Tmaxx 3.3, Nitro Sport 2.5R, Electric Rustler.
Wow. That's a lot harder than I thought it would be (both coming up with it and actually doing it). I don't have the tools or the skills to do this . If you start making them to sell, and if the price isn't an arm and a leg (for the amount of work I think it warrants at least a leg ) I would buy one.
Oh where'd you go, Joe DiMaggio?
+1 I would by one right now! Super cool, and a great job Snook Man...........
Cool cool cool....really cool man. nicely done. Come on make some for us as well.
How well can the modified primary gear last against the steel 3rd gear?
I have had no problems yet. Lots of people run the RRP steel gears mixed with the stock plastic and don't have problems.
It's a work in progress and have more testing to do but I'm getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
That is incredible and, I believe, the first of its kind? I would love to know how the case holds up now that its been cut with the forstner bit. I was thinking... since the main cut in step one involves being centered over the bearing, how about using a good quality hole saw with a pilot bit that fits the bearing? This would center that first cut nicely.
Excellent job! I have a spare tranny that I gotta try this on. A great addition to my already insane S-Maxx!!!
Phs 2 S-Maxx build- 24/54 gears. Can U say faster?
All i have to say it WOW.......
T-Maxx 3.3 = 4yr old
HPI RS4 = 3yr old
The tranny case is doing well, I cant tell a differance in strengh with the removal of the plastic.Originally Posted by T-MAXXTER
If you use a hole saw make sure it is well ballanced with no wobble or it will grab the plastic and make it difficult to get a clean cut.
Take the time to make a jig to hold the housing level and square with the drill press bench and one that you can clamp to the bench. It took me about an hour to make my jig setup and only 20 seconds to do the cut.
It will make a great addition the that SMaxx of yours...Hang on when she hits
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
Think this will hold up to brushless power?
For some reason, my old .18 t'e-maxx conversion won't go into second and I'm considering extending the chassis and going 3-speed.
Probably will not hold up to brushless unless you use all steel gears.
The stock 1st and 2nd gear sets are just too narrow to hold up to BL torque.
If you were only doing speed runs and set the punch control up to not hammer the gears too hard it should hold up for a while.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
I have to say that your brain works in a way that not many others can comprehend. I am absolutely beside myself with your illustration and direction.
Thank you for making me feel dumber today.
How does it go? ...Creativity is the mother of all invention.
Im not kissin butt , just in awe at what can be done with some thought.
Very good job........Watch out TRAXXAS may put a hit out for you.
Or offer you a lucrative position in the R & D dept.
Keep the shiny side up!
how much would you charge to supply a 3speed trany?
You are off the hook with knowledge, un frign smart!
You should consider making these to sell. Or at least selling your design to a company so that they can make them to sell. I think that you should design a tranny case so that you wouldn't have to keep modifying stock tranny cases. I know I have already said something to this effect, but you really did an amazing job with this! Totally awesome. I too am in awe of your skill and creativity. Good job!Originally Posted by chrispycracker

First batch of parts are due to arrive the 2nd week of May.
It's slowly becoming a reality.

Hi,saw your 2.5 tranny 3 speed conversion.Simply,BRILLIANT.
Wonder if you would be kind enough to make one for me.How much would it cost to buid one and to ship to Singapore.
Greatly appreciate your help and expertise.
P.S. My email:firstname.lastname@example.com
Stallion, this is something for a PM (Personal Message) not a post in an old thread. But that's OK, just letting you know. Welcome to the forum!
And yes, Snook Man is brilliant. This is some piece of work, but I've come to expect great things from him, so I'm highly impressed but not surprised. Its a mechanical masterpiece of MAXX modification!
Oh where'd you go, Joe DiMaggio?
Great right up! After I get my maxx awake I think im going to try it. I have a 2.5 and a .15
Would this better benefit an engine with more torque or more rpm? I have a .15 im building (bought as a roller) and a 2.5 (as a poor runner) that im going 2.5r or 3.3 and need to know what one?
People Eating Tasty Animals
You will want to gear down with the CB/SG using either the 2.5R or 3.3. The 3.3 has just enough for the shift change with 20T/72T cb/sg and then will struggle under the load.
18T/72T works better and allows the engine to spool up easier once you hit 3rd.
More torque is always better imo.
I wouldn't consider a .15 engine and a 3 speed, it would fall on its face after the shift change into 3rd.
No slipper/tall gearing/power = broken parts.
Sounds good thanks.
People Eating Tasty Animals
Ever thought about doing it with a revo trans? Awesome build though. I wonder how it would handle with a O.S. .21. Or maybe even a big block since you'll need a lot of rpm's. Have you done speed runs with the trans? What'd you reach with what gearing? Kinda makes me want to get a tmaxx just to do this.

Hi snook, I'd like to try this out, it would be going Into a ue supermaxx with a modded lrp 28... I have a few questions
I'm unable to find tower lxkhh2 so what is this part number? I'm assuming the 3rd gear clutch hub?
For the 2.5 28t gear did you use part number? 4994x?
After some more looking around it seems the part number on tower that I can't find is a savage clutch hub?
I did one this summer using snookman's formular and the parts that I have on hand. Stuck it in a short wheel base with a modded 3.3. Once I got it dialed in, it was silly fast. With your modded LRP, warp drive.
One thing I learnt, use lots and lots of cutting oil.
Good luck.
Blown68 I'm asumming your referring to using cutting oil while cutting the bearing journal into the savage drive gear? How did you drill a hole for the 12mm bearing? Did you use a 12mm drill bit to do so?
Also after some looking around I found out that one of the stock reverse gears is 28t
Is that what you used for the 3rd gear on the input shaft
I learnt that the HPI gears are fairly brittle and blued easy. I shattered two. First one the teeth. Second one the thru holes for the hub. I started with a drill bit and hand fit with a die grinder with a carbine rasp. I didn't use the same gear as snook did. I used the thinner version which I didn't have to cut the shoulder of the hub to butt them up. The one that snook use is much stronger.
Sent you a PM on the parts that I used. Most of them are left overs from my Savage 2 to 3 speed conversion.
Thanks man.... How is the 3 speed holding up?.... I beleive I have all the parts ordered except for a shaft
I think I ordered the same drive gear as snook used and I also think that I'll first use an aluminum and later make
A final steel shaft..... Im going to go 6mm on the output.... I think I seen the gear you used when I ordered everything
It was the light weight version which looked about half the thickness of what I'm using and it also had a bunch of holes
Drilled around it right below the teeth

On July 29, a Missouri appeals court held up the verdict of a Jackson County jury of compensatory damages worth $5.8 million and punitive damages worth $10.5 million against Allstate Insurance Co. for their refusal to settle a claim made by one of its insured.
The case arises from a car accident on March 24, 2000 when a drunk driver crossed the center line on a highway in Camden County, Missouri and collided head-on with a couple's smaller car, causing all involved to sustain personal injuries.
As a result of the crash caused by Wayne Davis, Jr., Edward and Virginia Johnson incurred medical bills of over $300,000. Davis later admitted to have been driving with a blood-alcohol twice the legal limit.
The Johnsons filed a complaint that they had sent demand letters to Allstate, but the insurance company refused to reach a settlement, in bad faith.
The Johnsons filed suit against Davis in 2002, believing him to be 100 percent at fault.
Just prior to the beginning of the trial in 2004, a letter was sent to Davis for the first time by an Allstate official to explain that he could be personally liable for any judgment in excess of policy limits.
After that, the suit the Johnsons filed against Davis never went to trial.
Instead, they settled into an agreement in which Davis admitted to driving under the influence and consented to $2.5 million in compensatory damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages in addition to over $1 million in prejudgment interest.
The agreement's twist was that the Johnsons would not attempt to recover the judgment; instead they would jointly sue Allstate with Davis as long as they Johnsons receive 90 percent of the award from the Allstate trial, which took place in 2005.
Judges from the Western District Court of Appeals ruled that Allstate failed to recognize the severity of the Johnsons' injuries and that the claim would exceed Davis' $50,000 policy limits. They also upheld the finding of Allstate's failure to advise Davis of the demand and the likelihood of him being hit with an excess judgment.

By Clive Bernath: The chances are if you're under a certain age(30ish) and an avid young boxing fan you will not have been aware of the great all British middleweight rivalry between Michael Watson, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank in the late 1980's and early 90's. Those of us that can recall the fearsome battles between three of the most powerful, brave and tenacious boxers ever to grace a British boxing ring, were truly blessed to have been able to witness such historic and sometimes brutal fistic rivalry.
I was lucky enough to have been ringside for a number of those incredible battles and have often shared my memories of those great nights out at the fights with younger fans of the noble art. Whilst sharing my experiences I also felt a little sad that these eager young listeners had missed out on the last true era of domestic dust ups between three so evenly matched pugilists.
So Imagine my delight when boxing writer Sanjeev Shetty published a book about the warring warriors entitled 'No Middle Ground'. Over a four year period from 1989 to 1993, Benn, Eubank and Watson fought each other numerous times and each one of the battles had fans on the edge of their seats.
Shetty painstakingly spoke to the fighters, their respective teams and many of the integral people involved to capture the scene of the fight nights excellently. The way in which he introduces the reader to each of the boxers personalities in fine detail from their adolescent youth through to maturity early on in the book sets the tone perfectly.
What made the boxers so unique was that all three were very evenly matched in terms of talent and ability and any one of them could defeat the other on any given day. But their abilities varied. Whereas Benn relied solely on punching power and intimidation, Eubank was more of the thinking fighter and showman whilst Watson could box, was technically sound and was a physically imposing figure. The varying styles made for some intriguing battles.
Shetty takes the reader through an amazing journey that started inside a tent in Finsbury Park North London in May 1989, and ends tragically on cold night at White Hart Lane Football on September 21, 1991.
As far as boxing books go this is one of the better ones, highly informative and well written.

Who is it that speaks to us in DILEMMAS - a naysayer or a rationalist? A deeply involved commentator and participant of reality or merely a skeptical observer of the theatrum mundi? What habits and antipathies does the author betray to his readers? What problems wake him in the middle of the night?
Stanislaw Lem's most recent book poses questions that are both universal and specific, disquieting and surprising, current and almost eternal:
Can we safely consume the fruits of our freedom? How do we choose from among products that are all "necessary"? When do we need to be brought back to earth? What are the limits of professionalism? What more do we need if we have Big Brother? What do the Taliban and post-modernists share? Should politicians read opinion polls? Can anything - anything at all - still be foreseen?

Poly senior guard John Crosby didn't have one of his better shooting nights Wednesday at No. 1 St. Frances, but that wasn't going to stop him in the closing seconds with the game in the balance.
With the No. 8 Engineers trailing by one point, the ball was in his hands with 30 seconds left. Crosby held the ball for the first 10, then started to the basket before pulling up just behind the foul line to hit a game-winning basket he would never forget. The Engineers had to make one final stop with St Frances getting one last shot up before the visitors secured a 52-51 win over the Panthers in a battle of undefeated teams.
Poly senior guard Brandon Lindsay finished with 16 points, Crosby had 13 and the Engineers improved to 6-0 with the program's biggest regular-season win. St. Frances, which got 13 points from Khalil Richards, falls to 9-1 on the season.
In a sluggish game in which baskets were hard to come by for both sides, it was Crosby who was able to come up with the timely offense.
"I knew I had to stay aggressive," he said. "The whole game, my shots weren't falling, but I knew I had to stay aggressive. I've worked too hard. I've made that shot 1,000 times in the summer so I knew I could make this one in the final seconds."
Neither team was able to grab hold of the game with each having five-point leads as their biggest of the game.
The Engineers trailed 48-45 when senior Terray Quickley was able to convert a 3-point play to tie the game with 2:18 to play.
From there, the game would have five lead changes — the last one coming on Crosby's jumper. The Panthers last lead came with 47 seconds left when Jared Hamilton tipped in the Panthers' third try around the rim to make it 51-50. St. Frances was 2-for-15 from the 3-point line and connected on only 13-of -27 free throws.
After opening with five straight wins by 30 or more points, Poly coach Sam Brand was concerned how his team would come out on the road against the Panthers.
His team came out a bit sluggish, but the Panthers did the same as neither was able to find any consistent offensive flow in the first half. It kept the game close and the score low with Poly claiming a 27-25 halftime lead.
The Engineers went on an 8-1 run later in the second quarter, capped by a 3-pointer from Crosby for a 27-22 lead with 1:17 left before intermission. But the Panthers were able to close the gap to 27-25 with a nifty drive from Daquan Bracey with 33 seconds left.
No. 4 City 69, W.E.B. DuBois 32: Omari George scored a game-high 22 points for the undefeated Knights (5-0) against the visiting Panthers (0-5).
St. Maria Goretti 57, No. 12 Archbishop Spalding 50: The host Cavaliers (3-5), led by Jourdan Grant and Gary Jefferson with 15 points each, had their two-game winning streak halted.
No. 6 St. Frances 61, Archbishop Spalding 53: The Cavaliers (1-6, 1-2 Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference) hung with the host Panthers (7-0, 3-0) for the first half, but St. Frances pulled away in the third quarter.
St. Frances, led by Adre'onia Coleman with a game-high 24 points, outscored Spalding 20-10 in the third quarter.
Tuesday girls
Glenelg Country School 36, Garrison Forest 35: The host Dragons (5-2) took a one-point lead with a minute to go and held off the Grizzlies (4-1).
Glenelg Country School's Deja Hursey finished with a game-high 12 points, including going 4-for-4 from the free-throw line.

Sometimes, whether in testing or other situations, you need to reset a password (often the admin password) for a Drupal site.
Edit: The shortest answer is that two wonderful options are built into drush!
# Get an admin login link
drush uli
# Set the password for any user
drush upwd admin --password="newpassword"
(More info on drush uli below.)
Now for the long version
In Drupal 6, you could just reset the admin password with:
cd <drupal_root_directory>
drush sql-cli # or mysql -u<user> -p<pass> <drupal_db>
UPDATE users SET name='admin', pass=md5('drupal') WHERE uid=1;
and then log in with username 'admin' and password 'drupal'.
But no more. Drupal 7 has a unique hash for each site, which means you can't just use the md5() trick any more. However, there is a script in the scripts directory that will do this.
cd <drupal root directory>
php scripts/password-hash.sh 'drupal'
Now copy the resultant hash and paste it into the query:
drush sql-cli
update users set name='admin', pass='pasted_big_hash_from_above' where uid=1;

I also like:
drush php-eval 'echo user_pass_reset_url(user_load(1));'
That gives you a nice, discreet, password reset URL.

Could not live without this feature which is part of Drush 4:
open `drush user-login'
will open your browser and log you in as uid 1 provided you've setup the URI (or copy/paste the path otherwise).
- Log in to post comments
It should be mentioned, the 'open' command is a Mac OS X thing. It's not the same as the 'open' alias for 'openvt' in Linux, for example. On the Mac it opens a file or URL in its default handler. And that last single-quote should be a backtick, like this...
open `drush user-login`

Awesome post thank you. Worked perfectly.
My php hash file was named 'password-hash.sh' with a dash instead of an underscore though.
I wrote "php scripts/password-hash.sh 'drupal'"
instead of "php scripts/password_hash.sh 'drupal'"

When I tried to run the Drush command as-shown with D7 it didn't take until I made a small change:
drush upwd admin --password="newpassword"
Note the addition of the equals-sign with the password flag. Apparently that's the proper syntax now.
- Log in to post comments
I tried using this approach:
php scripts/password-hash.sh 'password'
and placed the resulting hash into a query:
UPDATE users SET mail = email@example.com, pass='$S$CFURCPa.k6FAEbJPgejaW4nijv7rYgGc4dUJtChQtV4KLJTPTC/u' WHERE uid > 0;
and the passwords didn't seem to take. I couldn't login anyway. Am I missing something or is something usually forgotten?
- Log in to post comments
You might need to escape the $ in the hashed password value. use \$ and it should work. If you are using the drush_shell_exec() you must escape these values because bash will eval the string. And use the $ represent system variables.
- Log in to post comments
can you provide some more information on the 'drush uli'? I have been working on a module for Aegir that allows the aegir site to hold and update the admin password. Its a client request, that they have the ability to access and edit the admin users password at any time. Not great for security, but it helps with supporting 300+ locked down sites.
My code runs in the post verify site hook and the post install site hook. When we added the d7 platform we found very quickly that the drush upwd did not provide the feature we needed. My hook will request the hash for the desired password from the base install and update the target site using drush sql-query. We solved our related issue with the query by escaping the bash variable elements $ and /.

this is indeed a hell of a blog post. Pure awesomeness. I wonder whether the xml rpc login can also be made anonymous through this method?
- Log in to post comments
First of all, thank you very much for the post!
I have a couple follow-up questions:
1. What about users who have usernames with spaces in them?
2. Is there a regularized way to use the UID instead of the username to perform drush user functions?
Apologies in advance for the stupid questions, but I haven't been able to find a good answer to this yet (not even on drush.ws).

Saldanha Bay is home to Blue Ocean Mussels, South Africa's premium mussel farming operation known to many as simply "the BOM" – thanks to our reputation for providing a quality product and service.
But we can't take all the credit. Our location is paramount to our product's excellence, plump, juicy and slightly sweet taste. The unpolluted, pristine seawater in Saldanha Bay is perfect for mussel farming, because the windy West Coast conditions create upwelling currents that support the fresh, clean, cold and nutrient-rich water. This makes it perfect for growing some of the best mussels in world (while maybe not so much for swimming).

Newbie Marketers Overdose on Cheap C…..
So I read this story in the news today about 3 Powerball winners who won $1.5 Billion each.
One of them went and bought himself a huge mansion and was found dead a few weeks later from a Cocaine overdose.
Now, I don't know if this story is true or not but it reminded me of our industry.
You see, most people enter the IM market which is similar to this guy buying the new mansion.
They get super excited about all the easy riches they are going to get and then they start buying all of these cheap IM products (cocaine) with the hopes of striking it rich.
Some newbies do not even read the products they buy. They just love the thrill of buying from the over hyped sales letters.
That is similar to the high the cocaine user got.
Eventually they go broke and quit the IM scene with a bad taste in their mouth.
Basically they overdosed on too much information and crappy IM products.
What if instead, they found one or maybe two reputable people to follow from the beginning and they paid a little bit extra to buy a solid product and then used all their time and effort implementing that one product?
Do you think the outcome would of been different?
You bet it would.
I know because I almost overdosed when I first started. I bought the cheap high for 3 years straight and it almost cost me my marriage.
Don't be that guy.
Be the other guy who invests in a solid product from the beginning and implement that information.
That's the best way to avoid an IM overdose.

The Dolphins' interest in Mike Sherman and Kevin Coyle as offensive and defensive coordinators has hardly been a secret ever since Joe Philbin was hired as head coach a week ago. League sources told the Post on Wednesday that it would be a major upset if either didn't get the job.
Friday, NFL Network reported that the Dolphins officially agreed to terms with both coaches.
Sherman, the head coach at Texas A&M the past four years before being fired, brings an impressive resume to Miami. As Green Bay's head coach and general manager from 2000-06, the Packers' offense ranked in the top-6 in the NFL in points scored four times, and three times in total yards. They won 10-plus games in four of six seasons, reaching the playoffs all four times.
At Texas A&M, offense wasn't the issue. The Aggies ranked 11th in the nation this year with 39.1 points per game, and was ranked 34th and 19th in the nation the previous two seasons (out of 120 teams). In one season as the Houston Texans' offensive coordinator in 2007, he helped them improve from 28th in points scored and total yards to 12th in points and 14th in yards.
Sherman brought Philbin into coaching at Tulane in 1984, and brought him to the NFL with Green Bay in 2003. Sherman originally coached Philbin at Worcester (Mass.) Academy in 1979, and was also his English teacher (as was current Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz).
"He was a good teacher, hard worker," Philbin said Friday. "You could tell he had that mindset — whatever he did, he was a hard worker."

I had never been to New York City up until a month ago. I can't say I had the opportunity to go before either.
When the trip came up, I jumped at the chance to go. I learned a lot about journalism, writing, and most importantly my overall perspective on bustling, slightly chaotic, city dwelling. Not only is NYC the place to be for broadcast, it's become a world icon, and getting to walk down the same streets as countless actors and journalists (Katie Couric and Natlie Morales —my faves!) is such a treat. A few articles back I mentioned what to do if you find yourself inspiration-less. I mentioned going on a trip. New York was my trip.
I found myself running in Central Park with a friend one of our last mornings before anyone else had woken up in the hostile. As we were running down empty streets, it seemed as everyone had pulled the plug to a city that never sleeps. When we hit central park, it seemed that everyone had drifted away from their homes and moved to Central Park. I thought this was the most iconic, beautiful way to wake myself up in the morning. My mind gets a little crazy when I start running, but stories started brewing in my head. Something about seeing each individual, and wondering what gems of stories they were hiding behind sweaty, jogging faces, made me go insane. This has led me to my most recent projects.
When I get back to Columbus for the fall semester, I'm beginning my newest documentary project. When I initially met my one friend, I had no idea the amazing story he had. Once I found out a little bit, I began to ask questions. The right questions. When trying to make someone feel comfortable when asking questions it should always be conversational. I dug deep, and now not only got really close to him, but have made him feel comfortable sharing some of those details in front of the camera.
The second evening we had settled in, it was obvious my friends and I HAD to go China town. I personally loved the "actual China town." I loved looking at the roots, fish, and other assorted raw foods. That didn't last for long as my friends wanted to shop! The entire time I was taking pictures with my cheapy digital, wishing I had a video camera. Something about video is so sensory, and the colors of this area of town are phenomenal.
Of all the enjoyment I experienced during the trip, and all the places I got to go, when we made our trip out to Queens, I was filled head to toe with passion and excitement. We arrived early in the day to the Museum of the Moving image. I have a slight fetish for museums, but this was outright amazing. (Almost as amazing as the amount of Starbucks that lined downtown.) There was everything from an old Nickelodeon to the first color television camera. Because I can't explain everything, I figured it would best to show you.

Ever wonder what your favorite athlete uses to get in the zone for his or her sport? We talked to some of Team USA's members about the songs that they need to get their head in the game, calm any nerves, and prepare themselves for competition.
Simone Biles, one of Team USA's female gymnasts, is all about pop and hip-hop. "I love listening to G-Eazy and Justin Bieber—he has really good playlists—and then sometimes Drake, Rihanna, or Chris Brown," she says. "Lately the team has all been listening to 'Panda' by Desiigner, just because it's a good pump-up song that's really fun."
Maggie Steffens, a water polo gold-medalist, uses her music to keep everything in perspective. "A song like 'Vivir Mi Vida' by Marc Anthony, or 'Hallelujah' by Andy Grammar gets me pumped," she says. "I get to live out my dream and have fun doing it."
Mallory Weggemann, a USA Paralympic swimmer, has one go-to song she plays when getting ready. "The last song that I listen to before I go out to the starting blocks is 'All I Do Is Win' by DJ Khaled," she says. "I have listened to that since 2010, and now it's kind of one of the things that if I'm not going into a race, I can't listen to that song. Because it just jazzes me. My heart rate will go through the roof, my adrenaline will start going."
While we may not be headed to Rio ourselves, that doesn't mean we can't channel the same mindset in our own workouts. Download the playlist below to sweat to their favorite tunes, and check out Shape X Fitness on Spotify for a playlist for every mood and exercise.

Mark Hamill Does an Excellent Darth Vader While Pranking Fans
Mark Hamill does a really good Darth Vader voice, because of course he does.
The Star Wars star and talented voice actor showed off another character while pranking Star Wars fans all in the name of charity: an ongoing Omaze campaign in partnership with Lucasfilm and Star Wars: Force for Change, celebrating the 40th anniversary of A New Hope.
This Week In Heat Vision breakdown
In the video posted Wednesday, Hamill surprised a few superfans who believed they were re-creating various scenes from the original trilogy and The Force Awakens that would be part of a mega video for the anniversary. But they didn't know Luke Skywalker himself was in the house and and playing opposite them.
Needless to say, all of the participants are floored when Hamill makes himself known.
The reactions are fun, but Hamill's Vader voice is also noteworthy. There is definitely a twinge of his film father's timbre in there.
Fans can make donations at omaze.com/starwars. Chance prizes include a flight out to Los Angeles to meet and have lunch with Hamill or an exclusive prescreening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, among others.

Policy Resource
Chicago Increases Access to High-Quality Early Learning Opportunities
Learn how Illinois has developed a universal quality rating and improvement system to rate early learning programs quality so parents can compare programs.
In Fall 2013, the city of Chicago announced a three-year $36 million investment in early childhood education to give more than 2,300 additional children aged zero to five access to high-quality early learning programs and associated wrap-around services. In addition to increasing funding, the city also revised how it allocates money to early learning programs, creating a simpler and more coordinated process for all schools and community-based organizations in the city.
Funding requests are jointly reviewed by the Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) to ensure that all programs funded by the city are high-quality and prepare students for kindergarten and continued learning. For the first time, ensuring resources are strategically allocated across the city in a way that best serves the most children was a priority of the process. Additional partners include Smart Chicago Collaborative, a civic organization, and the University of Chicago Urban Education Institute.
The citys funds were used to establish a new early learning center which provides full-day early learning and care to infants and toddlers, full-day pre-K to children aged three to five, and wrap-around services for children and families. The wrap-around supports include: parent engagement services, outreach to engage the hardest to reach families to enroll in programs, and assistance in connecting families to health and other social services.
Parents can find information about all of the city-funded early learning programs on Chicagos interactive online portal (www.chicagoearlylearning.org). Illinois has developed a universal quality rating and improvement system to rate early learning programs quality so parents can compare programs. Parents can search the website or receive text messages about early learning programs near their home address and receive timely updates about application processes.
The early learning reforms are based on recommendations made by the Mayors Early Childhood Task Force, which was launched in July 2011. The Task Force included members from city agencies, early learning advocacy groups, and direct service providers. In September 2011, Mayor Emanuel established an Early Learning Executive Council to work on implementing the Task Forces recommendations and to maintain the engagement of community and education leaders on this important issue.

Matt Griffin reporting on North Island Enduro Taupo
Eneos North Island Endurance Series Round 2 report
24th June 2017 Hampton Downs
After the success at round 1 the Matt Griffin Motorsport team headed for round 2 of the Eneos North Island Endurance series with high expectations of getting a good result and continue the great year Matt has been having. The Mortimer Motorsport E46 had been given a front to rear check over by the team and also a few extra's had been added to help the car perform even better as Matt was aiming to be on the top step of the podium for round 2.
Round 2 was being held at Hampton Downs Motorsport Track on Saturday June 24th with practise on the Friday and wouldn't you know it the weather gods had brought rain again for the meeting. So on arrivals at Hampton on Friday the Matt Griffin Motorsport team had to unload the car and spares in the rain and then get down to changing the practise set up as it wasn't meant to be wet and the car was set up for a dry track. After the car was ready to go it was decided to go out and do some laps on the rain tyres that had been used at round 1 in Taupo and make sure everything was working and the changes made were going to do what was hoped they would do. But after a few laps Matt reported that he was having some braking issues in the front so he brought the car in and the team set about trying to find what was causing the braking issue. After a few checks and changes Matt returned to the track and the issue was a little better but not totally fixed. Maybe some different rain tyres could solve the problem but the answer to that was a big "NO" as these tyres were only good for a rubbish pile. Back into the garage and it was decided as the rain wasn't helping things the decision was made to do the pre- race preparation and check over and hope Saturday would bring some better weather.
Saturday arrived and it wasn't raining when everybody arrived at the track but rain was on the rain radar and due around midday. After all the drivers had their pre-race drivers briefing it was out onto the track for a 20 minute qualifying session and with no rain and a drying track Matt set about doing a good time and get as close as possible to the front of the grid. With some nice new tyres on Matt's plan was to get everything warm and then do some flying laps and set a good time. The plan worked and Matt finished with a great time and was going to start the race on grid 4.
So at 11am the flag dropped and the race was on and Matt made a great start and settled into a good pace and in a great battle with a 911 Porsche cup car and a V8 Commodore. Matt's plan was to do about 15 minutes and then come in for his compulsory pit stop and hope there were no safety cars that could spoil the plan. After Matt had done 13 laps he came in and the team performed a great pit stop and Matt was able to get back onto the track ahead of the Porsche and Commodore and set some fast laps and make the gap too big for them to catch him and then drive to a plan that would allow him to turn it up if he needed to but the Porsche and Commodore couldn't close the gap. After 45mins the rain came and it was so bad that the organizers decided that it was too dangerous to continue and they red flagged the race.
So Matt finished the race in 3rd place overall and 1st in his class, job done, the plan was executed perfectly and the whole team were so excited for Matt as the car didn't miss a beat and everything was set up for a great final round in July.
Now everything has settled down we now turn our attention to Pukekohe on July 22nd and the final round of the series. As the report is written the points haven't been finalized but provisionally Matt is leading his class and running 5th overall in the 1 hour race section.
Finally thanks to all the sponsors and supporters who have made it possible for Matt to be doing so well and we hope we can see you all at Pukekohe for the final round. Bring it on.

North Island Endurance Series Round 1 report.
May the 19th 2017
May 19th arrived and it was an early start for Matt and the team as they headed down to Taupo for the first round of the Eneos sponsored series and the weather looked as it wasn't going to come to the party and rain was predicted on Saturday for the race.
Arriving at the track early allowed the team to help with the set up in the Garages and start to get the car prepared and ready for the 10am start of testing and rain was coming so we couldn't do the set up until just before testing started. There were 33 cars entered for the 1 hour race with 4 different classes within the race ranging from fire breathing Porsches to BMW E30's so the speed difference was great so caution was also part of the race plan.
When testing started the plan for Matt was to get out and do a few laps to check everything was all good on the car after a long and major pre event preparation and see how the changes made to car worked without really pushing the car too hard to early. After the team had checked everything and some changes made Matt hit the track again and pushed the car along for some hard laps and Matt was happy everything was working well and he was happy with how the car was performing. It was decided not to put the new tyres on for testing so after a few more practise laps and rain predicted the team went thought some driver change practise and considering this was the 1st time both Matt and the team had done driver changes, things went well and everybody was happy and looking forward to Saturday. There were a few things to change and set up on the car for Saturday and with rain predicted the final set couldn't be decided until Saturday morning.
Rain and cold temperature's greeted all the teams when they arrived at the race track on Saturday morning. After Friday Matt and the team were happy with how things were looking for the 1 hour race so for qualifying it was decided to go out and do some laps and get a time and save the rain tyres. So Matt went out and did 4 laps and set a time which placed him in 20th place on the grid, Matt said he could have gone faster but by doing that he would have worn the rain tyres out and with rain set to be around for the 1 hour race Matt drove the car into the garage.
When the start time for the race arrived Matt was confident that he could get a good result even if he was starting from 20th. After 2 formation laps the race started at 11-30am and everybody charged at the 1st corner and amazingly there was no major drama's and the race was underway. Matt moved pass some cars on the first lap and set about moving forward towards the front of the field. Then after about 5 laps the front windscreen on Matt's car started to fog up and Matt was finding it very hard to see the race track and some of the cars that he had passed move back passed Matt as he couldn't come into the pits till after 10 minutes of the race. When Matt did come into the pits after 10minutes of the race for his compulsory pitstop the team quickly set about cleaning the inside of the front screen and doing a quite modification to get more air into the car and stop the screen fogging up. As Matt re-joined the race he had a lot of work to do to get up the front of the race and he started the charge forward from the first lap out and as he had done his Pit stop early and with his tyres in good condition it was all on for a great result. Matt was driving very fast in the rain, something he is very good at, and he was passing a lot of cars and he was setting some very fast times and making many of the top teams taking a lot of interest in his performance and informing their drivers. When the flag came out at the 1 hour Matt had driven the car to a great finish place of 9th overall and 3rd in class, well that's what the official results said. A great result in Matt's first endurance race in the Mortimer Motorsport V8 BMW.
After doing some post event checking the team believes that Matt had in their opinion finished in a higher overall position and they are currently talking to the event Organizers so watch this space as Matt's final placing could be about to change.
Roll on Round 2 of the series at Hampton Raceway on June 24th.
On behalf of Matt and the team from Matt Griffin Motorsport we would like to thank all our sponsors and supporters who have made it possible for Matt to get out there and show everybody that he has great change to win the series 2 rounds to run in the series.

One of the things I'm concerned about is that people will overlook this book as a kids book when in fact it is more accurately described as all ages. For the die hard Marvel comic book fan you will find that the events and characters fit into continuity very well but it is still accessible for those of you picking up a comic for the first time.
It is also well worth noting that the cover art by Montreal's Karl Kerschl and interior pencils by Ig Guara are fantastic. Too often books like this get stuck with second string artists.
The book opens with a description of the Infinity Gems, an artifact of immense power that must be found before someone accidentally destroys the universe. Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four has tracked one of the gems to the moon where he meets with Inhumans who live in the oxygen bearing blue area of the moon. Just go with it. It is then that the Inhuman's dog, Lockjaw, finds one of the Infinity Gems and embarks on a quest to retrieve them all but first he must assemble a team of Pet Avengers!
Thankfully while assembling his team they avoid the typical super hero troupe where heroes meeting for the first time mistake each other as villains and fight. Lockjaw brings together Throg (Frog Thor), Lockheed (dragon), Redwing (falcon), Hairball (cat) and a mystery sixth member together to search for the missing gems and hilarity continues.
Easily the break out character of the first issue is Throg the Frog Thunder! I had a great time reading all of his dialog in a cross between a frog and old English accent for Anna my four year old daughter. After we finished reading the book I asked her what she thought to which she replied, That's a great comic book Daddy!
So there you have it, a great read that is enjoyable by young and old alike. But you don't have to take my word for it. You can read this 12 page preview on-line then rush to your local comic shop and demand a copy of Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers.

|Somatosensory Temporal Discrimination Threshold Is Increased in Patients with Cerebellar Atrophy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23288507 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Processing of time in the millisecond range seems to depend on cerebellar function and it can be assessed by using the somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold testing. No studies have yet investigated this temporal discrimination task in patients with cerebellar atrophy. Eleven patients with degenerative cerebellar ataxia and 11 controls underwent somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold evaluation. The degree of cerebellar dysfunction was measured by the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale. Somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold was higher in patients compared to controls for each stimulated site (hand, neck, and eye). Age, disease duration, and International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale scores were not correlated to somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold. Somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold is abnormal in patients with cerebellar atrophy. These findings suggest that the cerebellum plays a role in modulating the somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold and confirm the role of cerebellum in the processing of time in the millisecond range.

Typically, I write these posts on the 1st of the month but Easter this year fell on April 1st. That meant Easter Sunrise service in the cemetery to start the day… a little napping throughout the day… and a little time spent working on an April Fool's prank video.
By the time all that was all done, I was tired and uninspired. But fear not! I'm back with another monthly installment of some of the things I'm digging right now.
What I'm Into Right Now – April 2018
Cinnamon Bears – Sure, we're coming off a time of Easter chocolates, jelly beans, Peeps, Peeps, and Cadbury Creme Eggs… but one of my favorite candies of all time is Cinnamon Bears. A few weeks ago my wife got me a 2-pound bag and I've been working my way through it just a few bears at a time.
Lime Water – This isn't some new fancy drink you can buy at the corner convenience store. I've simply been adding a quick squeeze of lime juice concentrate to my ice water. We ended up with an extra plastic lime full of juice at home so I took one to keep in my work refrigerator. It's funny how just a little lime has me drinking more water.
Deception – I've always been a fan of magic shows… but this ABC TV show is a different kind of magic show. It features a magician who is helping the FBI solve crimes… in hopes they can help him exonerate his twin brother who was framed (and convicted) for murder. It's equal parts magic, comedy, action, and drama.
Drunk Girl – This Chris Janson song isn't getting much radio play (yet) but I really love this song… for both the music and the content. With a title like "Drunk Girl", you might think this is an upbeat party tune. Actually, it's a stripped down, piano-heavy tune about a guy who does the right thing. If I had teen boys I'd play this song to them as an example of what a true gentleman would do.
Throat Coat Tea – I've been fighting a cold lately that's given me a sore throat which can be an occupational hazard when you have a daily 5-hour radio show to do. This tea not only tastes great but it really soothes a sore throat.
