First-and-10: Beating up itself will cost SEC BCS title No. 8
1. I don't want to get on a soapbox, but …
They've dominated college football every way imaginable in the BCS era. Monster programs, one-of-a-kind players, and just enough good fortune.
Now it's all coming back to bite the SEC in the shorts.
If winning truly does bread winning; if competition feeds competition, the SEC will have no one to blame but itself when it's shut out of the final BCS Championship Game after no team makes it unscathed through the conference gauntlet.

That's right, even big, bad Alabama.
"Every week, you're in somebody's sights in this league," says Florida coach Will Muschamp.
Translation: you're never too far from the other end of it.
Last year, the SEC's bottom eight teams were a combined 0-30 vs. Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Texas A&M and South Carolina. Last week alone, that same bottom eight got five wins as underdogs.
And suddenly, they're no longer underdogs. Suddenly, Missouri is a win away this weekend (against South Carolina) from essentially locking up the East Division. Auburn, which last year fired coach Gene Chizik after a dismal 3-9 flat line of a season, controls its destiny in the West Division.
How did it happen, you ask? The way this league recruits, you're not staying down long if you've got the right coach. The common denominator in four of those five wins last weekend: young, charismatic coaches.
—Tennessee got its first win against a ranked team in 22 tries when it beat South Carolina—a week after the Vols and first-year coach Butch Jones nearly beat Georgia.
—Ole Miss, in its second year under coach Hugh Freeze, did last weekend what it should have done last year: beat LSU.
—Auburn, under first-year coach Gus Malzahn, beat Texas A&M in College Station. The signature win for Malzhan just happens to match You Know Who's biggest win this season.
—Vanderbilt, which has rebranded itself the last three seasons under James Franklin, got its first win against the SEC elite by beating Georgia.
Then there's Missouri, which bottomed-out last year in its first season in the SEC because of numerous injuries and because coach Gary Pinkel botched the way he handled star QB James Franklin's injuries, which sucked the life/confidence from the season.
Now the Tigers are healthy, and now they're winning without Franklin (shoulder). And now they're back in the BCS top 5 for the first time since 2007 ended with a loss in the Big 12 Championship game to Oklahoma—a game that would have put the then top-ranked Tigers in the BCS National Championship Game.
Mizzou—one of two SEC unbeatens—still must play, in order, South Carolina, Tennessee, at Kentucky, at Ole Miss, Texas A&M. And more than likely, Alabama in the SEC Championship Game.
Meanwhile, Alabama has Tennessee, LSU, at Mississippi State, Chattanooga, at Auburn. And more than likely Missouri.
There are potential problems all over those two remaining schedules—and enough uncertainty to see this is the year the SEC's 7-year championship streak ends.
By its own hand.

HAYES: This case was textbook embarrassment
3. An uneasy future
Two days after the Grambling player walkout, I received a text from a current BCS coach who said, "It's not a matter of if it can happen (at the FBS level). It's a matter of when."
That, people, should frighten everyone involved in college sports.
Beyond all the complaints at Grambling, the red flag was the players' ability to cripple the program—for at least a week, if not longer. The walkout forced the school to cancel a game, and you better believe that player power—harnessed by any group of players on any FBS team—can and will do significant damage.
The closest thing we've had to a player walkout was the mini revolt staged at Arizona back in 2002, when 40 players went straight to then president Pete Likins and complained about coach John Mackovic's treatment of them. Mackovic finished the 2002 season, and lasted six games into 2003 before being fired.
Much of the dissatisfaction at Grambling centered around facilities and travel, and those simply aren't issues at the FBS level. But that doesn't mean players couldn't rally around any other issue, especially considering the age of social media and how public perception can be swayed by the hour.
"Once that (perception) fire starts these days, there's no putting it out," said the BCS coach. "And then you're fighting a battle you absolutely can't win."

4. The BCS breakdown
We're down to eight unbeaten power conference teams in the race for the BCS National Championship Game, each with their own unique path. The road to that picturesque view of the San Gabriels for each:
Home games: Tennessee, LSU, Chattanooga
Road games: Mississippi State, Auburn
Potential neutral game: SEC Championship
Biggest obstacle: at Auburn, Nov. 30
Biggest trap: Tennessee, Oct. 26
Where it could end: LSU probably matches up best with Alabama, but the Tigers don't have the defense to stay close like they've had in previous seasons. That leaves Tennessee and Auburn—two teams playing with a lot of confidence—as dicey games. If Auburn gets all the way to the end of November with only one loss, we might be watching the biggest Iron Bowl ever.
Home games: NC State, Miami, Syracuse, Idaho
Road games: Wake Forest, Florida
Potential neutral game: ACC Championship
Biggest obstacle: at Florida, Nov. 30
Biggest trap: at Wake Forest, Nov. 9
Where it could end: As good as FSU looked last week against Clemson, let's remember this is the same team that has a history of playing down to competition over the last decade. The 'Noles have a history of problems with Wake, a game that just happens to fall after a critical top 10 game against Miami (see: letdown).
HAYES: Seminoles make case for No. 1
Home games: UCLA, Utah, Oregon State
Road games: Stanford, Arizona
Potential home game: Pac-12 Championship Game
Biggest obstacle: Stanford, Nov. 7
Biggest trap: Utah, Nov. 16
Where it could end: Watch what Stanford did to the UCLA offense last week; watch what the Cardinal did to the Oregon offense last year. For some reason, Oregon was considered the stronger of the two teams last year, and that wasn't the case. And may not be this year, either.
HAYES: Ducks built to move past distractions
Home games: Penn State, Indiana
Road games: Purdue, Illinois, Michigan
Potential neutral game: Big Ten Championship Game
Biggest obstacle: Michigan
Biggest trap: Indiana
Where it could end: It's not ending after the first 12 games; who in that group beats the Buckeyes? It could end in the Big Ten Championship Game if Michigan State—with its nasty defense—can scrounge up enough offense to win the Legends Division.
Home games: South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas A&M
Road games: Kentucky, Ole Miss
Potential neutral game: SEC Championship Game
Biggest obstacle: South Carolina, Oct. 26
Biggest trap: at Ole Miss, Nov. 23
Where it could end: How about this week against South Carolina. Even without QB Connor Shaw, the Gamecocks' defensive front seven can pressure QB Maty Mauk and create turnovers. If not this week, the following week. Or the week after that, or the week after that. Get it?
Home games: Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Virginia
Road games: Florida State, Duke, Pittsburgh
Potential neutral game: ACC Championship Game
Biggest obstacle: at Florida State, Nov. 2
Biggest trap: Virginia Tech, Nov. 9
Where it could end: If FSU doesn't get the Canes in the first week of November, Virginia Tech will the following week in a classic letdown game. The Canes are the least equipped of the unbeaten to make it to next week unbeaten—much less the beginning of next year.
Home games: Oklahoma, Texas
Road games: Kansas, Oklahoma State, TCU
Neutral game: Texas Tech (Arlington, Texas)
Biggest obstacle: at Oklahoma State, Nov. 23
Biggest trap: at TCU, Nov. 30
Where it could end: Imagine this: Baylor will be favored in every game the rest of the way. Baylor may as well be unbeatable at home, but it will be different in two testy road games against two teams that can create problems with the ability to rush the quarterback.
HAYES: Baylor's new look includes lots of points and wins
Home games: Oklahoma State, Kansas State
Road games: Oklahoma, Texas.
Neutral game: Baylor (Arlington, Texas)
Biggest obstacle: at Oklahoma, Nov. 26
Biggest trap: Oklahoma State, Nov. 2
Where it could end: This week. Or the week after that, or the week after … you get it, already.

5. The Weekly Five
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney believes if FSU and Clemson played 10 times, Clemson would win five. Here are five other dreams Dabo believes:
1. Ain't nobody ever had too much to drink at The Esso Club.
2. 10 out of 10 opponents would rather play in that other Death Valley than here.
3. Last one down The Hill has to watch the Clemson basketball team!
4. Spurrier is just jealous cause we got a Chili's.
5. I get three wishes every time I rub Howard's Rock.

6. Target: controversy
Now they've gone and done it. For the first time this season, the controversial targeting rule cost a team a game.
Not only was Georgia linebacker Ramik Wilson's hit on Jonathan Krause not targeting, it wasn't deserving of a personal foul.
And there's the rub:
The personal foul that accompanies the targeting call is automatic and it's punitive. The 15-yard penalty in this specific case extended a Vandy drive and led to a touchdown that closed UGA's lead to 27-21 and completely changed the complexion of the game.
When the NCAA rules committee meets early next year, expect them to eliminate the 15-yard personal foul penalty if replays show no targeting. The problem that still remains: the rule could have a huge impact in a critical game down the stretch—a ruling that would then be more controversial than anything the BCS has given us.

7. A fitting return
Bobby Bowden will return to Florida State this weekend for the first time in four years, when he left his campus office in December 2009 with a box of personal items in his hands and amid zero fanfare.
He'll plant the flaming spear at midfield during pregame ceremonies this weekend, a ritual primarily performed by school mascot Chief Osceola. Bowden was the last non-mascot to plant the spear—just days after he left his office for good—in the 2010 Gator Bowl, his last game as coach at Florida State.
It's a fitting tribute for Bowden, who told Sporting News in 2010 that he didn't feel welcome at the school he put on the map with three decades of winning. He has avoided returning since to give coach Jimbo Fisher room to avoid constant comparisons.
Bowden has been scheduled to return to Tallahassee for two games this season, but last week's rout of Clemson—and clear resurgence of the program—make this the perfect homecoming.
Welcome back, Bobby. The game has missed you.
8. Can't win for losing
From the beloved (Bowden) to the bewildered (Nick Aliotti), it takes all kinds, people.
Seems as though Aliotti, Oregon's defensive coordinator, was none too happy with Washington State coach Mike Leach last week for throwing the ball late in the Ducks' rout of the Cougars.
You read that right: Aliotti was upset because Leach, whose team was getting its brains beat in, was trying to score by throwing the ball against Oregon's backups. So now, if I've heard this correctly, coaches are ripped for running up the score and for trying to score.
I have a better idea for Aliotti, a longtime assistant, who frankly, is one of the nicest men in the business: start scouting Jameis Winston.
You're gonna need it.

9. Computer bias
We go through this every year, but I feel as though it's my duty to clearly explain "computer" polls aren't really driven by "computer" formulas or any other nonsense the "computer" guys will have you believe.
They're driven by opinions—just like human polls.
Case in point: Auburn. Before last weekend, all we knew of Auburn was it beat a quickly fading Ole Miss team at home, had four other wins of zero consequence and a bad loss at LSU. Not enough to even merit a spot in the top 25.
Then, after going to Texas A&M and getting a strong win over the Aggies—and after Ole Miss beat LSU—the Tigers suddenly have found juice in the computer polls.
The Massey poll has Auburn at No. 5, ahead of unbeaten Ohio State, Baylor and Miami, and one-loss Stanford. Auburn is ranked sixth in one poll, seventh in three others, ninth in one and its lowest ranking is 17th.
Meanwhile, there is Texas A&M, which has lost by a combined 11 points to No. 1 Alabama and No. 11 Auburn, and is ranked no higher than No. 16 by the "computers"—and is ranked No. 22 by three polls.
That's opinion, folks. There's nothing scientific about it.
10. Double talk
The NCAA says Clint Hurtt, Louisville's defensive line coach, provided "false or misleading information to Miami and the NCAA enforcement staff" during the Miami investigation.
Let me say what the NCAA will never ever say about any member of its fraternity (which coaches most certainly are): Hurtt lied. Period.
But Louisville's Tom Jurich, a bright, proactive leader and one of the game's best athletic directors, said Tuesday that "to the best of (Hurtt's) recollection, he was open and honest to everyone involved."
The judge says you lied; you say you didn't. Your employer, who knows full well you're a terrific recruiter in the talent-rich area of South Florida, believes you.
Somewhere, Bruce Pearl just kicked a hole in his screen door.

SNOW HILL – Nine months after signing a petition asking for sewer service to undeveloped properties in Snug Harbor, property owners got a discouraging response from the County Commissioners, who said last week that the empty lots in Snug Harbor would have to wait for "another day."
The 53 existing houses in Snug Harbor are in the final stages of hooking up to the Assateage Pointe wastewater treatment system after a years-long saga seeking funding and capacity.
The 13 homes not yet attached to the sewer pipe must do so by the end of the month, county officials say. Their septic system permits are no longer valid with the arrival of public sewer.
Snug Harbor's empty lots were never part of the sewer service equation.
"It never involved vacant lots. It was always about the houses that were built there," said Commissioner Louise Gulyas. "That was a battle for another day."
That day has not yet arrived, the commissioners concluded, citing lack of capacity and disposal options.
The Assateague Pointe treatment plant handling the new Snug Harbor hook-ups has no more capacity, said Ed Tudor, director of Development Review and Permitting for Worcester County.
Gulyas suggested looking to the Landings development for sewer service to those properties. "I know they're not built out yet," she said.
All the capacity at The Landings is committed, John Ross, deputy director of Public Works, said.
The experimental system at The Landings is reviewed every additional 30,000 gallons per day, said Bob Mitchell, director of Environmental Programs.
According to Worcester County attorney Ed Hammond, that system is subject to a phased-in permit, and could be cut-off by Maryland Department of the Environment at any phase.
Snug Harbor dwellers have said that the Assateague Pointe system can be tweaked to get more capacity, according to Gulyas. "I'm not sure about that," she said.
"Today we have no additional capacity at Snug Harbor," said director of Public Works John Tustin.
Ross said it's not a matter of a handful of lots. "It's not one or two. It's going to be 24 or 25," Ross said.
Commissioner Bud Church, who represents Snug Harbor, said the small size of the lots meant two properties might be used for one dwelling in several instances, reducing the 24 to perhaps 18.
"It's still a significant number. It's not a number that's lost in the contingency," Ross said. "We'd be increasing the number by more than 10 percent of what's out there."
Tudor said, "Even if we could work out the capacity, how would we dispose of it?"
Adding to Assateague Pointe's wastewater treatment system is not financially feasible, according to Mitchell.
"That's an exorbitant amount of cost to upgrade that system," Mitchell said.
Snug Harbor is not eligible for federal or state grant funds, which are targeted to low- and moderate-income communities. The sewer hook-ups for the existing Snug Harbor homes, at roughly $13,000, were funded out of a low, 1.6-percent interest state loan from the Maryland Department of the Environment.
The owners of the existing Snug Harbor houses spent years looking for alternatives to their failing septic systems, which were leaking into the community's canal and thus the coastal bays.
Snug Harbor also lies in a flood plain, and the unserved empty lots are in the V zone, areas subject to storm overwash. Building in flood plains is discouraged.
Church contended that the unserved V zone lots, considered more vulnerable to storm flooding, would not be more at risk than the other Snug Harbor lots in a strong storm.
In the event of a Category 3 hurricane or worse, Church said, "There isn't going to be one nail difference between the V zone houses and the end of the street."
The new homes that would be built under the new FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) regulations would be safer than the older homes in Snug Harbor, Church said.
Empty lot owners feel as if their property has been condemned by legislation, Church said.
"I'm concerned about the other residents who are paying taxes down there. Some of them have owned their property since the '50s," he said.
The community was originally developed in 1953, one of the first waterfront neighborhoods in the county, with the last homes built in the 1970s.
"I don't know what the answer is. I guess central sewer is the answer," Gulyas said.
Commissioner Virgil Shockley said the lots would have to wait their turn to be addressed.
"We need to take a look at what we have out there," said Shockley. "You've got to solve one problem before you start another problem."
All the sewer systems in north Worcester County must be considered in light of capacity available and properties to be served, he said.
"Let's finish one thing at a time and then we'll come back and look at the 24 lots," Gulyas said.

What your lawn wants for Christmas in this Colorado weather: Water
Hey, it's been gorgeous out there, hasn't it? Aren't you lovin' that Colorado weather? Well, yes, of course. Unless you're a plant.
If you're a plant – a grass, a tree, a shrub, a perennial, a sweet little bulb tucked under four inches of nice soil with a little nightcap of fall fertilizer — it hasn't been gorgeous. It's been dry, dry, dry dry dry dry, with a little more dry thrown in for good measure.
So you've blown out your sprinkler system for the year. What your lawn really wants right now is for you to drag out some hose, put on the portable sprinkler, and show that turf you love it. Becky Garber of the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado tells you why it's even more important to water your lawn now, than it is in spring:
"Giving the lawn the moisture it needs in the fall helps keep it healthy and pest-resistant. Because there are always pests like turf mites in the environment that can threaten lawns, the simplest strategy is to keep lawns healthy so they are resiliant. Healthy plants can actually tolerate higher populations of pests and that is why we need to avoid drought-stressing them.
… Turf that declines 15 to 20% over the winter due to pests and drought will be over-watered in the spring to bring it back to lush. That watering will also happen at the worst time of year for the turf. It needs to be a little stressed in the springtime, as that's what makes the roots grow deeper to make the lawn ultimately more drought tolerant.
If you don't water in the dormant season, you'll likely water 6 times more in the spring when the lawn needs it least! That bad management hurts the lawn, wastes water and costs you money."
Even I did a solid for my lawn – which is DEFINITELY not the star of my landscape or my gardening priority – last weekend by turning the sprinkler on. But, as I found out from these tips from Becky, I probably didn't give it ENOUGH water, though I did do what many experts advise and give it the runner's equivalent of interval training – 15 minutes in one location, 15 minutes in the second location, move it back to first location, move it back to the second one. A third rep would have been better.
Here are more of the ALCC's tips for each kind of sprinkler:
– Oscillating sprinklers like the big arching rainbow or the smaller impact variety should probably run about 45 minutes to an hour depending on the exposure. South and west facing areas will need more water; north facing areas need less.
– If your sprinkler sprays water continuously over one area – like the "frog-eye" variety – check the lawn at about 30 minutes. (push a screwdriver into the soil to see how dry and hard the soil is).
– Since you're out of the watering habit, set the timer in your kitchen or cell phone to avoid over-watering.
– If the warm weather continues as predicted, be ready to check the soil moisture again next weekend by doing the screwdriver test. You may need to consider watering again next weekend, too.
My own reminder of the thing I often forget: Unfasten your hose from your hose bib so that it doesn't freeze and crack overnight. Then drain and put it away.
Anyone out there have any other winter watering advice?

netstart equivalent .. pkg_add error
Hi everybody !
In OpenBSD, I usually do a $ sudo sh /etc/netstart to restart network ..
I wonder if there is an equivalent command for NetBSD .. to painlessly restart network ..
another question related to pkg_add :
in NetBSD 5.1 , pkg_add sends back an error message that reads something like : " .. is made with a newer pkg_install ..
what is the correct way to deal with this issue ?
Thanks !
pkg_add: Warning: package `ImageMagick-184.108.40.206nb2' was built for a platform: pkg_add: NetBSD/i386 5.0.2 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/i386 5.1.0_PATCH (this host)
# /etc/rc.d/network restart
The best way to learn UNIX is to play with it, and the harder you play, the more you learn.
If you play hard enough, you'll break something for sure, and having to fix a badly broken system is arguably the fastest way of all to learn. -Michael Lucas, AbsoluteBSD
Hi ldOp !
the error message is "<pkgname> is built with a newer pkg_name "..
there must be some discord between installed release (5.1) and the pkg_path I am using .. how do I know that the right packages should belong to -eg.- <pkgsrc_2011Q4) > and not to -eg.- <pkgsrc_2011Q1> ?
I prefer not to upgrade at this stage because I've already downloaded more than 12g of 5.1 packages from here:
Thanks s0xxx !!
That said, if the packages you downloaded (12G, WOW!) don't match your system, then one or the other would have to change, no? I.e., either up/down-grade system or get new packages?
if I have installed the 5.1 release then LOGICALLY the 5.1 pkg_path should work .. what is wrong there than caused that error ?
I haven't installed anything yet ..
here is what I did a while ago :
I went to
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/...d-stable<br />
I guess that is the right choice .. I am using 5.1 stable branch ..
but when as root I did the following :
export CVS_RSH="ssh" export CVSROOT="email@example.com:/cvsroot" cd /usr cvs checkout -r netbsd-5 -P src
I used the jp mirror not because it is closest but because accessible ..
other mirrors options usually end up with time-outs ..
it seems like NetBSD with default settings is surrounded by problems that OpenBSD already solved .. for instance I never had problems like no route to host .. a strange example here :
while I could not connect to NetBSD.org main server from my NetBSD box , I did it many times from my OpenBSD machine .. why ? I still don't know .. I am using dhcp for both ..
I hope someone helps me here as I really want to use both operating systems for study and fun .. thanks in advance ..
what is there in OpenBSD default network settings that ancestral NetBSD lacks and so I could not connect to NetBSD servers except the japanese mirror ???
if this can be solved then I will go current as pkgsrc then won't be irresponsive ..

daemonfowl, I'm afraid I can't be of much help with the specifics of what you're doing because I don't use CVS. As for the network connectivity problem, this might be something wrong in the basic setup, which could easily happen in a new install. Did you check things like
* nameserver configuration in /etc/resolv.conf
* if you're using a local named (127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf) did you enable it in /etc/rc.conf ?
* routing, is the output of following command reasonable:
# route -n show -inet
* does the external interface have a reasonable IP address? (Check with ifconfig after DHCP as you seem to be using.)
* did you enable any packet filtering?
* could you ping and connect to any other local or remote hosts/servers ?
Just some ideas, not an exhaustive check-list.
Hi ldOp !
Thanks for the checklist .. helpful for a newbie ..
* less /etc/resolv.conf

no I didn't .. and pf is set to no in rc.conf
* dmesg ? ...
Thank you, daemonfowl, for posting the actual output of some commands. dmesg couldn't hurt, I guess, though not sure if it will help in this case.
Looking over your output I don't see anything obviously wrong. So to recap, you're using dhclient and it provides you with an IP address of 192.168.1.2 on network 192.168.1.0/24, and the nameserver and defaultroute gateway are 192.168.1.1. Some questions:
Are these the same values you get when using the "OpenBSD machine" ?
Is that the same machine with a dual boot setup?
Are the problems you experience temporary, or are they repeatable over time (i.e., day-to-day reliably unreliable )? One thought here is that wireless drivers, as you are using, are not always perfect, but that doesn't explain why you can reach the Japanese mirror OK. So the question is, is it always this way?
Can you ping the gateway reliably?
# ping 192.168.1.1
Can you resolve hostnames on the Internet, e.g.:
# host google.com
How about pinging arbitrary external sites (google.com, oracle.com, etc.)?
Another possibility is that the US NetBSD servers were having problems at that time. Can you generally browse the web OK? (Well, maybe you have no browser installed ... do you have lynx?)
Because I love both Dragons , I installed both .. NetBSD is installed on 16g usb flash for testing and if I overcome the prob I'm installing it to a spare 120g disk ..
I dont't have a dual OS machine ..
Here is the OpenBSD output of ifconfig -a :

* no route to host when installing via pkgsrc (persistent prob since I installed NBSD)
* I can ftp connect to all NetBSD mirrors via OpenBSD .. whereas on NetBSD I cannot except the jp.netbsd.org server ..
is it an ftp conf issue ?? or an ipv6 one ?? but then why was jp.netbsd reachable ??
Maybe now you realize why I downloaded that huge 13g of NetBSD.5.1 pkgs via Openbsd just to be able to locally install them on my NetBSD box .. only I could not do that too because of the pkg_install error .. so I am between scylla and charybdis : neither can I use pkgsrc nor install local pkgs ..
* yes the prob is persistent .. whenever I use pkgsrc it successfully fetches one or two pkgs but most of the time fails to get others ending up in a timeout ..
* even the "fr/se/es/.netbsd.org" servers fail me .. so it is not a us.mirror problem ..
* lol .. yes from official website I downloaded then compiled lynx .. the only successful pkg so far ..
.. ping and host work fine ..

I'm definitely puzzled by all this, but one hypothesis is that maybe the NetBSD wireless driver is just not reliable in your environment. My own experience is with the Ralink ral(4) driver, and on that one at least it seems the OpenBSD driver is, currently, clearly of higher quality. But for wpi this is nothing yet but speculation trying to find something that fits the observations, and maybe it will turn out false.
Hi ld0p ! thank you !
concerning lynx , I ftp connect to http://lynx.isc.org/ then got the newest source which compiled nicely ..
direct link is : http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/lynx2.8.7.tar.gz
NetBSD wireless driver is just not reliable in your environment
and yet .. estoy enamorado de NetBSD !
While wpi works out of the box in NetBSD and still no lynx no ssh no dhcp working out of the box ?
whereas on the other hand , OpenBSD is equipped with enough settings for immediate internet use while still asking for wpi firmware install on first boot ..
Maybe there is some genuine reason behind this or that choice that escapes my mind ..
I am downloading NetBSD.5.1.2 iso for a new lazy-upgrade .. maybe it'll work with those downloaded packages .. Is is any good in my case to skip the 5.1.1 to 5.1.2 ? I wonder .. I hope I won't need to downgrade back to 5.1.1 .. :-)

The Ridley Scott film Prometheus currently in production seems to be getting away from the notion of it being a prequel to his legendary Alien film. More like a film taking place in the same universe, the latest news boasts the return of the "space jockey" creature, in a non-CG form.
From movies.sky.com:
There has been a huge amount of speculation over the past months as to what will and won't appear in the movie, but an insider told Sky Movies, "I've had further confirmation that the Space Jockey creature is definitely in Prometheus and has been built as an eight foot animatronic.
"I've also had it confirmed that HR Giger is working on the project but only in an advisory capacity. By the way, people are going to be in for a shock when they sit down to watch Prometheus and there's an enormous semi-human head piloting a spaceship."
Here's the original prop from the first film.
An epiphanic moment for sure. Just blown away by the concept of a prop being so untraditional. So massive. Seeing this for the first time a ton of years ago, I can still remember my reaction - and it was exactly what the Nostromo's crew was experiencing. Wonder, confusion, fear...pure movie magic. I had so many questions - Where did it come from? What did it look like alive? How did it move? Was it really growing out of its chair? Was it friendly? How long was it there? Man, it was unlike any prop I had ever seen.... and have ever seen.
When I first heard about the space jockey's cameo in the next Alien film, I was thrilled beyond belief. But now that it's settled in, I'm resisting the concept. I really don't want to know the answers to any of those questions. And I think that was the point of the prop in the first place.
Strangely, it reminds me of the classic moment (at least for me) in Halloween III: Season of the Witch, when Conal Cochran unveils the massive stolen stone from Stonehenge to the captive Dr. Challis. It's sitting in his mask factory, thousands of miles from its home. "Stonehenge! We had a TIME getting it here. You wouldn't believe how we did it!"
Movie magic. Sometimes you're just not supposed to know.
And if Cochran tried to tell me, I wouldn't listen.

Heres to hoping H.R. Giger can advise them to stop making this movie...I don't the "movie magic" of the original tainted any more than it has been by a series of shoddy sequels that got worse with each release. I have to agree with you Rot, sometimes you just shouldn't know, I for one don't want this explained...at all

Rot, only you could somehow work a Halloween 3 quote into a Ridley Scott piece, and have it be perfectly organic -- like Giger's designs. I raise my glass to you.

New Kent County Genealogy, Wills, Estates, Probate Records, Marriages
Captain John Smith visited this area in 1607 and since that time many Europeans began immigrating into Virginia. New Kent County once formed part of Charles River County, one of the eight shires into which the colony of Virginia was divided in 1634. It origiinally included part or all of the present day counties of King & Queen, King William, Spotsylvania and Hanover, the modern day borders of New Kent took place in 1766 through exchange of land with James City County. Actually, researchers will see the mention of "Brick House". This was the first town and this was the seat of the first government. This historical site knows its history, starting with Nathaniel Bacon who, when the Governor refused to do anything about Indians who killed settlers and looted the area, formed his famous rebellion among his neighbors. The historical genealogy of the Bacon family is traced on Virginia Pioneers and is available to members. The village of New Kent appears to have been the County seat since 1691. Most of the County's colonial records were destroyed in the burning of the clerk's office in 1787, and later records were destroyed in the burning of Richmond during the Civil War. Providence Forge was one of the earliest settlements and the site of a colonial forge that was destroyed by Banister Tarleton during the Revolutionary War. Another site, St. Peter's Church at Talleysville was established in 1678 and built in 1701. It was enlarged in 1740 by the addition of a tower and vestry room and in the 1760's by the building of a north wing, believed to have been torn down in 1854. Martha Dandridge Custis who lived in White House on the Pamunkey, worshiped here at the time of her marriage to George Washington. The road leading from Richmond to Williamsburg is one oldest roads in America.

MADRID (AP) — Spain's prime minister says his government aims to fast track reforms to halt evictions related to mortgage non-payments after a woman committed suicide as bailiffs arrived to repossess her flat.
The death of 53-year-old Amaia Egana, who threw herself from her fourth-floor balcony as bailiffs arrived Friday, has caused a national outcry.
Mariano Rajoy said Friday that current legislation was allowing "inhuman situations" to occur as people unable to keep up with repayments were forced from their homes while still saddled with the remainder of their mortgage debt.
Rajoy said he wants "a temporary stop to evictions" by introducing a better code of practice among lenders that would allow renegotiations of debt, or an agreement permitting debtors to remain in their homes for longer when this was not possible.

Champagne Le Brun Servenay 1985
Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Geantet-Pansiot 1999
After his wedding in 1924, Georges Roumier inherited a flew plots from his wife's family domain. He manages this domain which at the time spread over several plots from Chambolle-Musingny and Bonnes-Mares appellations. At the end of the Second World War the domain rapidly developed and the Roumier wines became increasingly popular. In 1945 Georges Roumier started to bottle at the domain. He expanded the business by buying different parcels at Bonnes-Mares and Clos Vougeot and by acquiring a complete clos in 1953, the Clos de la Bussière, situated at Morey-Saint-Denis. His son, Jean-Marie Roumier, continued this development and added Corton Charlemagne and Musigny appellations to the domain. Today the domain has 11.8 hectares among the most renowned from Côte de Nuits. Two cuvées (Charmes-Chambertin and Ruchottes-Chambertin) come from parcels in sharecropping. They are labeled Christophe Roumier but have received the same care than the ones from the domain's team.
The domain uses integrated pest management: no fertilisers or herbicides, and hand-picked, perfectly-ripe grapes. After a meticulous sorting and partial de-stalking, the grapes are ready to be vinified. They are then matured for 15 to 18 months.
Le Musigny is one of Chambolle's two grand crus. The quality of its clay soil produces one of the finest, most delicate and elegant wines in Burgundy. It is a wine that can be aged for between 10 and 30 years. Domaine Georges Roumier produces one of the appellation's greatest wines: a Musigny with absolutely incomparable texture.

Playing Now at a Theater Near You: As Salt Lake City Turns
You guys….we are SO attractive to free agents right now!!
What I'm going to do is recap only what has happened (sans commentary) since Karl Malone's interview on 1280, and then leave my commentary/questions/clarifications/context for the end for those that care to read it.
Act 1: (January 28) Karl Malone interview on The Zone.
Act 2: (January 30) Brad Rock blog post on DN:
Malone came to Utah for the Phoenix game last year, right after Sloan quit. He said he actually made inquiries through the Jazz for tickets but was told none were available. (1) He ended up buying tickets from a scalper.
Act 3: (January 31) Kevin O'Connor interview on The Zone:
[On Karl's belief that Jerry felt undermined by management] Karl wasn't in the room. I was in the room, and the only thing I can tell you is I'd like you guys to go ask Jerry (2) because…Greg [Miller] did everything possible to speak to Jerry to make him stay and make him finish out the season…the last thing was we asked him to sleep on it and Gail [Miller] came in and both Gail and Greg asked him. (3) So I can honestly say that there's nothing further from the truth than those kind of comments.
[Karl is in regular contact with Jerry…and he characterized it like Jerry got mad, and then he laid down that he was going to leave, and then nobody from that point on could talk him out of it.] I don't even understand that question.
[Does it concern you at all that the fans have a hard time buying the official party line?] I could care less. I know what the official party line or whatever you like to call it is, and I know what transpired and I know what happened. It's impossible for me to care what anybody would say or think. If you use common sense, which sometimes people don't do, how many days later did we trade Deron? (4) So if it was really a situation where somebody felt undercut or somebody felt undermined, and that we picked the player over the coach, that's ridiculous.
Sidebar: (KOC, minutes after saying that Karl was lying)
[on SLC not being a free agent destination] You look at guys like a Karl Malone, like a John Stockton, who came to Utah, who stayed, who played. One of the things that I think is never brought up enough is the number of games that they played in and number of games that they missed, the two of them combined. It's a phenomenal record I don't think that'll be touched even probably by one guy on a team, much less two. (5)
Act 4: (February 2) Gordon Monson article in the Trib:
What happened to Sloan had festered inside Malone for long enough. In the immediate aftermath, he came to Utah to express concern (6), buying his own ticket to the next game at EnergySolutions Arena via a scalper because the Jazz had told him there were no tickets available for him, and spoke to reporters. (1)
I have asked both Sloan and Johnson, and they refused to comment. (7)
Act 5: (February 3) Phil Johnson interview on KFAN:
[on Monson article] It's very discouraging when I read things that says that someone talked to me about an article, and they didn't call…[Monson] said that I had refused comment on the article, and I was never called about the article. (7)
This is my feeling. The Utah Jazz were first class in the way that I was treated, and as far as I know, with both [Jerry and I] through our stay with the Utah Jazz. There was no incident or anything that the Utah Jazz forced either one of us out.
[What led to Jerry's resignation] was a long process. It wasn't one night. It was a series of things through the course of the year…That night was a little different for sure. But the Millers were great. They said, why don't you just think about it tonight and sleep on it overnight. Come back in the morning, we'll meet again. So that's the way it transpired.
[Jerry] may want to coach again. I don't think it has anything to do with how he resigned here. (8)
[Is Karl's relationship with the organization really poor?] I can't comment on that.
[Management/ownership] offered the job to me that night to be the head coach when Jerry left, and I really didn't want the job. I passed up money and I passed up fame…because I knew what I really wanted, and that was to not go on with the season. (9) (10)
Intermission: (February 2)
(H/T @pjmorgan11 via BYU Cougar Basketball's FB)
Act 6: (February 3) Greg Miller Tweets (11)
Act 7: Ty Corbin's Agent Tweets & Cameo from Steve Luhm (12)
Steve Luhm provides a little bit of perspective on just who this guy is:
Act 8: (February 3) Gordon Monson Tweets
Act 9: (February 3) Deron Williams Comments (13)
(Brian C. Mahoney is an NBA writer for the Associated Press.)
Act 10: (February 3) Greg Miller Blogs
I have always believed in taking the high road and addressing my grievances in private. I have always remained silent relative to the media on those types of issues for that reason. (14) However, when Karl Malone recently made comments about how he was treated by the Utah Jazz when he attended a Utah Jazz game last season, he crossed a line. (15)
The fact is Karl is still as high-maintenance as he ever was, but now he has nothing to offer to offset the grief and aggravation that comes with him. Some would argue that he could coach our big men. I would love to have Karl inspire them and teach him how to be warriors like he was. That can't happen. Karl is too unreliable and too unstable. (16)
Greg cites some examples of how Karl is unreliable and unstable:
–Unreliable: Karl once arrived at an autograph session half an hour late in the 1990s.
–Unreliable: Karl cancelled/blew off three lunch appointments with Greg over the years.
–Unstable and unreliable: Karl was once cold to Greg at the beginning of a meeting. Later in the meeting, he warmed up. Two days later, he cancelled a lunch appointment.
A year ago, when Jerry retired, Karl rushed to Salt Lake City. He got in front of every camera he could find at the first game following Jerry's departure. (17) He positioned himself as an authority on Jerry's departure by saying something like "the Jerry Sloan I know isn't a quitter. He left because he didn't feel wanted."… Then in his next breath, on national television, Karl asked me to hire him as a coach. (18)
Earlier tonight I sent out the following tweet relative to Karl's claim that he had to buy a ticket to that Jazz game from a scalper because he couldn't get one from the Jazz: "Hey Karl- you're lying. You have my number. Next time you need a seat to a Jazz game call me. You can have mine." All three statements are true. (19)
Karl, I'm not sure where or how our relationship became so sour. I wish it was otherwise. I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way. I'd love to do whatever I can to mend the fence and make you feel welcome at Jazz games. I would love to have you as an ambassador for the Utah Jazz. You have a standing invitation to do both. (20)
(1) The part about the Jazz telling Karl Malone there were no tickets available was not broadcast in the interview, so either Karl told Monson and Rock that off-air, or Monson and Rock misinterpreted what Karl said. What Karl did say on-air was that he got his tickets to the game from a scalper, and called it a "miscommunication" with the Jazz. Direct quote from him on that night (February 12, 2011):
"I got my own tickets, the Jazz was gracious enough to let me park in the back, I appreciate that, and I'm gonna sit here and watch this game and enjoy the game."
(2) Let's say that the perception held by some–that Jerry felt undermined by the Jazz, and this built up over a season and eventually led to his resignation–is true. If I were KOC, I'd also confidently say "Go ask Jerry" because I know he's not going to talk. Jerry is no Phil Jackson. He's not going to write a book about it; he's not going to throw anyone under the bus; he has no history of airing his dirty laundry out in public.
(3) No one is disputing the fact that Gail and Greg Miller asked Jerry to stay when he said he was resigning. However, KOC is choosing to only address what happened after Jerry said he was resigning. He is not saying anything about the build-up leading to Jerry's decision, which was the actual question posed to him.
On Greg's request for Jerry to finish out the season: This is, in Greg's own words, how he asked Jerry:
"Jerry, do you realize if you leave right now that it's going to cause a lot of drama, that those of us who are still with the team have to deal with and manage?"
(4) The Jazz front office has said from Day 1 that Deron was traded because they did not feel he was going to re-sign with the Jazz. Greg cited his "gut sense" (DN); KOC cited in this same interview "vibrations that we were getting and the body language and everything else that we felt that we would be in a better position not to run the risk/reward of trying to keep him." If this is the case, referencing the Deron trade as evidence that he was not involved in Jerry's resignation makes no sense.
(5) Well, this was pretty interesting to say the least, and not only because KOC cited Karl as an example of how a non-free agent destination franchise can succeed minutes after accusing him of lying. In his 1280 interview, Karl said when John Stockton retired and he was pondering his own future, "Without a doubt, I did not feel [the Jazz] wanted me. I knew it wasn't Gail, I knew it wasn't Larry, I knew it wasn't Greg. But they also listen to people that say, 'Look, here's the time to move on.'" He later identified one of those people as Kevin O'Connor. So to use Karl as an example of free agents staying long-term with a franchise…
(6) If I recall correctly, Karl said at the time that he wasn't at the game because of what had happened with Jerry, and that his trip was pre-planned. His kids were also with him at the game.
Edit: I recalled correctly. Karl that night: "It's just a coincidence [that I'm here]. I don't come to that many games, and my kids out of school. I already told a couple of my kids we come to the game. Then this happened. I wasn't not going to come to the game [because of it]."
(7) FWIW, I read it as Monson saying that he had tried talking to Jerry and Phil in the past about what happened and had received a "no comment," rather than having requested comment from Phil on the article.
(8) Question: Does anyone believe in their heart of hearts Jerry would have preferred to go somewhere else to finish his career? Or would his first choice have been, had it been afforded to him, to retire with the Jazz?
(9) Wait a second. The Jazz offered Phil the job the night Jerry said he was resigning? Then how was it a "don't decide now, sleep on it" situation? Phil can't be talking about the following night (day of the press conference), because they had already announced Ty Corbin as head coach by then.
(10) Let me preface this by saying, lest anyone get the wrong idea, that I have the greatest respect for Phil Johnson.
This interview was aired on KFAN. Phil Johnson is employed by KFAN, which is owned by LHM Group. I am not insinuating anything or drawing any conclusions here; I am merely stating fact. Another fact: The day Jerry and Phil announced their resignations, Phil talked about continuing his career with the organization ("but not any place else") in a different capacity.
He also said on the day he resigned:
"I can't do something for money. I've got to believe that I can do the very best I can and I feel like this is the time…You have to live with yourself and you have to know that you're capable and right now I don't think that I could give the Jazz everything they need."
(11) First of all, this tweet was not befitting behavior from an NBA owner.
Second, Karl was never going to see this. He's not on Twitter. What was the point of doing it this way if this is what you want to say to him? If this message is really for Karl and not so everyone can see you calling him a liar, why don't you call him instead?
Third, what is Greg accusing Karl of lying about? From the second and third sentences, it appears his accusation of Karl being a liar centers on how Karl secured his tickets for that night's game (first game of the post-Jerry Sloan era). In the 1280 interview, Karl says that he got his tickets from a scalper. He did not say anything about being turned down by the Jazz. When asked whether having to get tickets from a scalper was "a sign of disrespect," Karl said it was a "miscommunication."
Look, if you're going to post tweets like this, at least get your facts straight about who said what and who's lying (if anyone is). Also, see (1).
(12) So now we have Ty Corbin's agent calling Karl a liar while also saying he might be telling the truth. That's a first. Also, to say that Karl has an agenda at this point is funny because as Ty Corbin's agent, don't you have one too? This is pretty clear when in the middle of several negative comments about Karl, you make a point to refer to Kevin O'Connor (who employs your client) as "one of League's best GMs."
Furthermore, can anyone argue this?
(13) This is not a comment on Deron's comment. More just a thought from me: In Karl's interview, he talked about his belief that Deron played a role in Jerry's resignation but also said a ton of nice things about Deron as a player and his work in the community. I'm guessing no one bothered/had the time to tell Deron about that part.
(14) The entire post you wrote begs to differ. Also, this entire post centers on reported versions of Karl's scalper comment. As with KOC, nothing about the events leading up to Jerry's resignation was denied or addressed.
(15) (See (11)). Again, please get your facts straight about who said what before making accusations. Karl never said, in the on-air part of the interview that was broadcast, anything about the Jazz turning down a request for tickets.
Both Greg Miller and Kevin O'Connor have tried to discredit Karl throughout this saga by saying that he "wasn't in the room" when Jerry resigned. Unless Greg was at Karl's used car outlet when the interview was conducted, he was likewise "not in the room."
(16) This was petty and vindictive. Again, not fitting behavior from an NBA owner of a franchise that likes to boast about "doing things right." Karl has said a ton of things, but at the very least he has never stooped to personal attacks. Also, Karl was late to an autograph signing in the 1990s? He canceled lunch a decade ago? Wow, that's been a festering pustule for some time.
(17) I thought this statement was somewhat unfair. First of all, Karl did not "rush to Salt Lake City" (see (6)). Karl did talk to the media, yes, but did he seek out the media, or did the media seek him out? If he wanted to talk and no one wanted to listen, there would be no record of his comments that night.
Also, you know, there's this:
For the record, one of the first things he said when the media session began was that he hadn't responded to any calls from reporters over the past day because he didn't want to give over-emotional answers.
(18) Regarding Greg's statement on Karl asking to be hired, here is the direct quote from Karl that night:
The coach I know and the man I know have never quit or resigned in anything. That's what I want to say, and at some point in my life, I will carry his legacy on in some form of coaching, and that's a promise.
Other quotes from the same interview:
–I would be honored if I will be mentioned as a coach at some point in time, but I don't think it's the time right now.
–I'm not asking for a job.
–They changed the floor back to old school. They changed the uniform back to old school. Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like in old school…I'm just calling it like I see it. So that's what I wanted to say. But I don't think I be a good fit right now.
(19) Again, unless you were at the used car outlet during the interview, you cannot say the first statement is true. See (1), (11), and (15).
(20) This was a nice message from Greg.
You take what Karl Malone says with a grain of salt, not because he has an agenda or wants to create drama, but because he is defending and sticking up for his family the way I think any of us would in the same situation. He believes that someone he loves was wronged (a conclusion he arrived at through talking to Jerry Sloan and maybe others), and is speaking out on their behalf. The foundation of all this is Karl's loyalty to Jerry.
Tell me any of us would act differently if we were in his shoes. Say your dad has worked for a company for decades and played a key role in turning it into a hugely successful venture, but then along comes a young hotshot who undermines him over the course of months, and the boss sides with him. You used to but no longer have ties with the company, and you have not spoken with the boss. What you know, you heard from your dad. Would you just shrug and say, "Oh well, it is what it is" and that's the end of it for you?
In a way, it's like what happened with Earl Watson and Dirk Nowitzki in the Dallas game. Earl saw Dirk hit the ball out of Derrick Favors' hands. Derrick was taken aback and seemed unsure how to react, and Earl went over and did the same thing to Dirk. Not because he was trying to start a fight or get tossed. He was simply defending and protecting his own.
Karl doesn't want anything from the team and the moment he opened his mouth the game after Jerry's resignation, any potential future with the Utah Jazz was over. He knows this. "You can't beat a fart out of a dead mule." He doesn't have any reason to lie or make stuff up. He's not going to be the most objective person out there, but all he's doing is sticking up for a coach he loves.
Management and ownership are now the ones rehashing and keeping this thing alive. In my opinion, they would have been better served staying quiet and letting people think, "Oh, there goes Karl again. Shooting his mouth off as usual." Instead, publicly calling him a liar and complaining about Karl arriving late at an autograph session during the last century serves no purpose other than to make the front office look bad. Again, my opinion.
Karl Malone did more for the Utah Jazz than anyone not named Larry H. Miller, Jerry Sloan, and John Stockton in history, but at this point he has no ties to the franchise and is essentially a member of the public stating his opinion. Not so for management and ownership.
You guys….we are SO attractive to free agents right now!!
Peter permalinkFebruary 5, 2012 12:42 am
Wow. Looks like Greg Miller and Dan Gilbert must be best buds now. Such a petty blog post. Let's be honest, do you really want Karl Malone around our players? He's not a reliable guy. And do you honestly think he wouldn't undermine Coach Corbin? He's a loose cannon. If the players really think they can learn something from him they can seek him out in the offseason like Dwight and Kobe did with Hakeem Olajuwon. Even so, I don't think Greg Miller handled this situation in a professional manner.

holy schmoley, that's quite a lot of reading in 1 stop.
i have to agree with Peter, Karl is just not coaching material, not even in big man coach capacity.
this whole situation, pretty bad for any watching one of the greatest franchise's player "clash" with the management.
Jerry Sloan resignation, i dont think we will ever get to the bottom of this. in my mind, the only way we can know what really happens is when AK is old and grizzled and some NBA reporter go up to mother russia and ask him what really transpired back then. with old age and noone to offend/open old wounds, a much older AK might loosen up his tongue and spill out what really happens.
JazzFann permalinkFebruary 5, 2012 3:09 pm
Lie cheat and the rest just to get more web hits eh Monson? What good does it do to stir up a bunch of crap over trivial matters? All you contributed to was ruining the Jazz's image. You'll be out of a job when you can't run your tabloid version of the news about the Jazz if our team gets sold. Solid work on hurting our team. Leave hollywood to the Lakers, let's just focus on the game.

great read, tons of info and both sides are presented well to give the reader a choice to see where they stand. I still dont really know what I think about this entire incident but just pray a book comes out about it someday.

Dustless chalk has been around for a while, but Nihon Rikagaku's developed a new kind of chalk made from crushed-up scallop shells which reduces dust but manages to maximise the intensity of the colours. They're positively day-glo, now.
Apparently it's the crystals in the scallop shell powder that holds the chalk together, with the perfect ratio being 10 per cent of scallop shells to the chalk mixture. Around 150,000 sticks of the dustless chalk are being made daily, with around 2.7 million scallop shells being used for the chalk in a year. [Rikagaku via Inventor Spot via OhGizmo]

In between training sessions and shows, you can often see her chasing and playing with 3-year-old Foster, investigating new toys, or just resting and swimming under her mom, Chesapeake. We have also seen Bayley blow bubbles underwater and play with them! They are in the form of rings or even long lines, which we call "bubble snakes," which she chases and bites at. Bayley is extremely energetic and eager to learn new things. She just recently learned the "high jump" behavior, in which the dolphin jumps up and touches a buoy suspended in the air. With her small size, Bayley only jumps about 10 feet out of the water right now, but as she grows bigger and stronger, she'll be able to hit the buoy almost 20 feet in the air, like her big sister Maya! Look for Bayley and her high jump in our show, Our Ocean Planet. In lieu of presents, you can TXT the word ACT to 20222 to give Bayley a gift! Your $5 donation will support the care and feeding of Bayley and her 16,000 aquatic friends at the Aquarium.

Iran Steps Up Rhetoric In Drone Crash
In an interview with the official Islamic Republic News Agency, Iran's foreign minister urged Afghanistan to stop further drone flights by the United States in Afghan territory. Ali Akbar Salehi also warned that any further incursions would be seen as hostile acts.
"We have called on the Afghan government to seriously pursue the case and under no circumstances let such events happen again as such events will be regarded as unfriendly," said Salehi.
The New York Times reports adds that the U.S. has said it will continue its surveillance flights over Iran:
"There was no immediate response from the United States or Afghanistan to Mr. Salehi's admonition. But Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta, visiting with Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai in Kabul on Wednesday, said that surveillance flights over Iran would continue despite the loss of the drone. Mr. Karzai was more circumspect, saying Afghanistan wanted 'the best of relations' with all its neighbors.
"Iran has said it captured the drone — a sophisticated, batwinged RQ-170 model with radar-evading features — by way of an electronic attack on the aircraft's navigation system as it hovered over northern Iran on Dec. 4, causing it to land without damage."
Both The New York Times and CNN also report today that U.S. officials say the drone was part of a stepped-up mission to monitor suspected nuclear sites in Iran.
"The officials say the Afghan government was unaware of the use of its territory to fly surveillance drones over Iran, and that the CIA had not informed the Defense Department of the drone's mission when reports first emerged that it had crashed. One official told CNN that the U.S. military 'did not have a good understanding of what was going on because it was a CIA mission.'"

Today's post upgrade post is going to show you some of my holiday outfit upgrades from my recent trip to Turkey. It was really gorgeous, super warm and just the right amount of chilling out and having fun. Each year I struggle with the same thing, How to dress for hot weather! I'm such a winter girl at heart and I'd happily swap sandals for winter boots and a kimono for a faux fur jacket! So when I started thinking about my holiday wardrobe I focused on getting things that I'd wear at home rather than things I'd wear only when I'm away. I read somewhere that some women spend just as much on their Holiday clothes as they did the actual holiday! So here are some of the ways I used what I had to update my wardrobe for a hot weather holiday! Bear in mind I wear a lot of black, grey and white at the moment, so I chose to wear the summery, bright colours in different, subtler ways that I felt more comfortable in! By no means is a guide on what to wear, or showing you what's "right" to wear. It's more of little talk on how to accessorise the clothes you already have update those pieces for summer!This post is brought to you by Galaxy Essential Upgrades
Upgrade One: The Neon Necklace
Although this isn't a super summery pick, I think a big statement necklace can add so much to a simple outfit. For example I picked up this neon necklace for a couple of pounds from Primark a few days before I went on holiday. I bought it with the intention to wear it on a night out before I went away with a simple playsuit. Then as an afterthought, I chucked it into the small bag of jewellery I took along with me on holiday. I actually wore it with a fair few of my evening outfits as well as a few times during the day. The bright colour pop meant I could get away with wearing the darker or neutral colours I normally wear without having to buy something I wouldn't wear back in the UK.
Four more Upgrade Ideas under the cut! Just click below!
Upgrade Two: The Statement Bralet
I wore a variety of different bralets and cropped tops whilst away on holiday, all paired with the same simple black jersey skater skirt from Topshop. This meant I was able to cut down on taking extra outfits (and valuable suitcase space, those things get super heavy!) and pair the bralet top with the same skirt. The lipstick print one from Motel and this Aztec Primark were my favourite from the bunch. I personally like having a statement print or pattern on the top and then keeping it simple on the bottom to balance the look out. Again this kept in line with my idea of outfits that I'd wear at home, as I like wearing them when I go out in the evening! You could also wear these bralets with maxi skirts, or under drop arm vests.
Upgrade Three: The Polish Pop
Nail colour pops have been around for ages, but are a fool proof way to update an outfit. I took a few shades of nail polish with me when I went away as I like to change my nails a lot. Models Own Balearic Cool was my personal favourite although it's a pretty hard shade to work with (see my review here)! The Models own Hed Kandi Collection would be a perfect collection to take away on holiday with you as it's full of neons and glitters that really compliment a tan. I stick to bright colours on holiday (for a selection of my favourite holiday nail polishes see this post here) but any nail polishes you like would suit!
Upgrade Four: The Arm Candy
Layering bracelets has been around for a while now, it's a great way to add a summery festival feel and be right on trend. You can mix and match high street with ones you've made yourself as well as ones you can pick up on holiday. If you're away on holiday you can normally buy a variety of bracelets from little shops or markets for very, very cheap. I bought a few ones when I was in Turkey for around 1TL (about 40p) each. There are no rights or wrongs when it comes to compiling your arm candy collection so it's fun experimenting! But if I had one tip I'd keep it to one arm and stick to colour themes! Also mix in your watch (if it's not waterproof, don't go all silly and jump in the pool!) to as I think they add an awesome edge to a statement bracelet collection. Be careful with dodgy wrist tan lines though!
Upgrade Five: The Flatform Wedge
You can check through some my outfits that I wore on holiday here, here and here!

I got such an amazing positive feedback from many, many people concerning my monsters that I decided to give all my blog readers a little gift: A tutorial to make your own RevoluzZzionary Monster. It's a simple one and even if you are a beginner you should be able to do it.
If you have any questions while you are making the monster – just contact me. And you can make the monster with a very simple sewing machine – you only need a simple stitch and a zigzag stitch.
And the cute little monster I made during this tutorial – its name is Ninni :-) – will be drawn by lot (my daughter and I like the RevoluzZza ribbon "lottery" that much that we want to have another "RevoluzZza lottery" :-)). Just leave a comment and on Friday my cute little daughter will draw by lot who will give the little beast a new home. Everybody can join – no matter where you live.
OK, let's get started!
1. Download the pattern, print it and cut out the pattern. I chose to use different fabrics for the front and the back of the monster:
2. Pin the pattern on the fabrics and cut it out:
3. Serge the part which you will use later to close the monster with a blind stitch:
4. Cut out the felt eyes and sew them on the front fabric:
5. Now fix the felt tooth (or teeth if you want to give your monster not just one tooth) while you sew the mouth with a narrow zigzag stitch:
6. After you fixed the inner eyes you simply stitch a cross on the eyes by hand:
7. Stitch the felt heart on the monster front:
8. Now pin the front and the back of the monster with needles and sew the two parts together – but leave the part open which you will use to turn the monster inside out (the part you serged before):
9. Now you have to cut some parts of the monster: the ears, over the little arms and between the legs (like shown on the pattern you downloaded). Serge the monster with a zigzag stitch – narrower on the parts you cut:
10. … and this is the best moment when you create monsters and any kind of dolls and stuffed things: When you turn it inside out and see the final creature. Still a very flat monster – but already a monster :-)
11. It's almost finished. Now we only have to stuff the little beast with doll wadding and close it with a blind stitch by hand:
That's it!
I hope you like the tutorial – and of course I'm a very curious person: So please leave a link here where I can find a pic from the monster you created using this tutorial. Or post it at my brandnew flickr-group: RevoluzZza group at flickr
The tutorial, my pattern and the pdf download is for personal use only! No commercial use allowed.

Radio Tarahumara
Welcome to Radio Tarahumara: Broadcasting the Voice of the Raramuri to the World.
Listen Now!
A book to check outWed, 09/19/2012 - 14:44 — admin
Listener F. Irigoyen sent a message about this book about the Raramuri's amazing sport rarajipari:
Dear Friends:
You surely have read or at least heard of "Born to Run: a Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World has ever Seen" a bestseller book by Christopher McDougall. McDougall's pen describes the feats of Tarahumara runners at the Leadville, Colorado ultra-marathon intertwined with his mythical search of "Caballo Blanco", an elusive gringo who lives among the Tarahumara and has leaned to run like them. The breathtaking narrative does justice to the incredible endurance and
resistance of the Tarahumara runners. Born to Run though says little about the race the Tarahumara regularly perform in their mountains and canyons. Their sport and a cultural event that in many ways define the Tarahumara people in their homeland, their sport rarajípari —the kick-ball race— is as the athletes that run it an amazing thing. For this reason Don Quixote Editions is publishing in
Kindle® format Rarajípari, the Tarahumara Indian Kick-ball Race. This book will let you know in detail the most strenuous sport regularly practiced in this planet.
The book authors are the book's best warranty: Fructuoso Irigoyen, MD., who lived ten years among the Tarahumaras and is author of "Cerocahui, una Comunidad en la Tarahumara", and Jesús Manuel Palma, a full-blood Tarahumara who has devoted himself to study the language and costumes of his own people.

El amor a la tierra.Wed, 09/05/2012 - 22:01 — Gato Sentado
El Correr entre los pinos, caminar por las Barrancas, sentir el viento en el rostro, ese olor a historias y pasiones. La sola idea de fundirse con el horizonte y transformarse en puro espiritu para trascender los cielos, admirar al sol mientras se eleva imponente. Todo ello es parte del amor a la tierra, de la exaltacion de los sentidos frente a la riqueza que la creacion entera sopone, frente a la sola idea del ser frente al ser. Ese es amor a la Tierra...
Un saludote a la raza de la Sierra, bendiciones.

Mexican Drug War's Next Victims: Tarahumara Indian RunnersThu, 08/16/2012 - 13:46 — admin
A story on the Daily Beast website discusses the peril that the Raramuri face from organized crime in the Sierra.
"Camilo Villegas-Cruz is wistful when he talks about happier times, running in the shadowy depths of Sinforosa Canyon, in Mexico's lawless Sierra Madre. A member of the Tarahumara Indian tribe, renowned for their agility and running endurance, Villegas-Cruz grew up competing in traditional rarajipari races, in which contestants kick a wooden ball along a rocky trail. But by the time he was 18 years old, he was running an entirely different kind of race—hauling a 50-pound backpack of marijuana across the border into the New Mexico desert."
