We start off with our standard look back at last week's show, then we're on to tonight as Gail Kim defends the Knockouts Title against ODB, and Kurt Angle faces Bobby Roode in a Bound For Glory rematch on tonight's special Halloween episode of Impact!
Dixie Carter starts the show out by coming out to the ring in a really badly done wrestling promoter costume and says that AJ Styles showed a lack of vision and mental aptitude with his actions last week. She served AJ the world on a silver platter, and AJ just threw it right in her face. Nobody, and she means NOBODY walks out on Dixie Carter, and from here on out, he doesn't exist to her and he is no longer her World Champion. Since AJ stole her title belt (and her car, for that matter), he can keep them and call it a gift for his sweat equity, and now he's going trick or treating as the World Champion. He's not the World Champion and from here on out, it's just a costume for him, because what she needs is a real World Champion: someone great looking and with all the skills to make the company even bigger than it is right now. She came up with a way to find that man: with an 8 man tournament that will play out over the next several weeks, and now she would like to introduce seven of the participants, all of whom are former TNA World Champions. James Storm, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Jeff Hardy, Austin Aries, Bobby Roode, and Chris Sabin come out, and each gets their own introduction and short promo video, and Dixie says we'll notice that we're short a man, but before she can get to who that eighth participant is, Bully Ray's music hits and he comes out with Brooke in tow. Dixie steals his line and says to shut his music off because what she was going to say is that tonight's main event will be a gauntlet match for the eighth spot in the tournament. Bubba asks Dixie how he's supposed to win his title back if he's not in the tournament and then asks if she knows who he is, and Dixie says he's the man who lost to AJ Styles twice and caused all this trouble in the first place. Bubba says it was Earl Hebner and Ken Anderson's fault, and almost as if on cue, Anderson's music hits and he runs out and goes toe to toe with Bubba in the middle of the ring. Atlas Security runs in to break the fight up as we go to commercial.
We're back and Ken Anderson is being hauled out in cuffs by Atlas Security when Brooke gets in his face and says he should have never come back because her old man is going to kill him. Bully Ray comes out of nowhere and begins beating the CRAP out of Anderson with the chain while yelling at him that he's nothing without the club, and he tore the colors off of him because he's useless to him and that if he knows what's good for him, he'd better stay away.
Jason Hervey catches up backstage with Garett Bischoff to ask about what just happened with Anderson, and Bischoff says that there's a lot going on, but club business is club business. Knux comes in and asks why Garett is talking to them, and says he has a big chance tonight and to follow him.
TNA World Tag Team Title Match: The Bromans vs James Storm & Gunner
Storm & Gunner start brawling with the Bromans in the entryway before the match starts and Gunner starts beating the crap out of Robbie E once they head back into the ring. Storm tags in and briefly gets in trouble, but takes both Bromans out with a double clothesline and begins unloading on Jessie with right hands. Storm & Gunner with some nice double teams on Jessie, who finds himself in a world of hurt as Storm & Gunner dish out punishment more or less at will. Storm gives Jessie the Eye of the Storm and makes a cover, but Robbie is in to break it up at 2. Gunner takes care of Robbie, but gets double teamed and bounced to the outside where Robbie lays him out with a clothesline. Meanwhile in the ring, Storm hits Closing Time and sets up for the Last Call, but Robbie drags him out to safety on the floor. Storm grabs Jessie and tries to suplex him back into the ring, but Robbie hooks Storm's ankle and Jessie falls on top, scoring the three count while Robbie holds onto Storm's ankle.
Winner: The Bromans
Match was okay, but Storm is being SO wasted in this role.
Sting comes into Dixie Carter's office for a meeting, and she says that since she's so tired of hearing about how Sting has been banned from ever challenging for the title again that she's willing to lift the ban for tonight if he will enter the match first so he can show he still has it by running the table. Sting says he's earned everything he ever got and has never had a sense of entitlement, then gets up and walks out. Dixie asks if that's a yes, but she is left answerless as we go to commercial.
We look back at the latest return of Abyss, then we go to Bad Influence, who are wearing Sherlock Holmes costumes and put on really bad fake British accents as they talk about how they're going to tackle the mystery of the on-again-off-again monster Abyss, briefly making an offhand remark about how the TV Title seems to have disappeared with him. Funny, funny stuff.
Ethan Carter III vs Norm Fernum
Wow, they're literally going to rematch ever single match from Bound For Glory in the two weeks since the PPV, aren't they? Anyway, Fernum is Peter Avalon from the California indy scene if you've ever seen him, and Carter easily runs him over with a shoulderblock and then unloads on him with chops in the corner. Carter repeatedly rams Fernum hard into the corner before popping him across the ring with a T-bone suplex. Fernum hits a couple of flying shoulderblocks and a dropkick to Carter and springboards off the top rope with a crossbody for 1, but Carter easily flapjacks Fernum and hits the 1% for the win.
Winner: Ethan Carter III
Carter gets a microphone after the match and reminds us that he is EC3, he's a Carter, and the world needs them.
Bobby Roode is backstage with the doctor looking at the video where Angle hurt the cartilage in his knee at Bound For Glory and also saw where he was CLEARLY knocked out, and he says he's just looking out for Kurt's safety by making sure that he's going to be medically cleared to wrestle tonight. Seems a little disingenuous to me.
Sting is backstage, and he's...WALKING!
ODB is backstage saying she's getting her rematch with Gail Kim tonight and says she'll take both Gail and Lei'D Tapa on by herself, but Daniels and Kazarian come in and say that they've deduced that ODB stands for overly developed bosom, then asks about her husband Eric Young and his lawyer friend. Young comes in to defend his wife, then Daniels says to stay away from them or they'll drop him like they did to Park. Young says it's Halloween and they might just see a monster later on tonight.
Gauntlet Match
Sting is out to start the match off, and #2 is Frankie Kazarian. So I guess that if Sting wins the gauntlet match, Dixie will lift the ban on him challenging for the World Title. So, pinfalls and submissions don't mean anything in TNA-style gauntlet matches until you get down to the last two men, and it's over the top rope eliminations until then. Kazarian gets the advantage on Sting and hits a leaping elbow in the corner, but stops to mock Sting by doing the howl and gets laid out with a clothesline. Sting proceeds to unload on Kazarian and hit a big backdrop followed by a snap suplex. The crowd chants that Sting's still got it as Sting gets a thumb to the eye, and Kazarian tries to elevate Sting over the ropes but gets fought off as Sting lays him out with another clothesline. Knux is in at #3, so I guess this is the big chance he was talking about before. We're at commercial.
We're back as Eric Young comes in at #4 and goes to work on Knux before taking Kazarian out with a crossbody out of the corner. Christopher Daniels is out next at #5 and saves Kazarian from elimination on his way into the ring before climbing into the match and targeting Eric Young. Sting blocks a double suplex from Bad Influence and double suplexes them as we go back to commercial.
We're back as Manik enters at #6 in grand fashion, springboarding into the ring with a crossbody onto Kazarian and then a leg lariat for Daniels before taking both out with a double dropkick. Manik avoids elimination by skinning the cat back into the ring as Brutus Magnus enters at #7 and takes out both members of Bad Influence with a double clothesline before going to work on Knux, who flattens him with that short crossbody. Taz name drops Marty Jannetty, probably the only time Jannetty and Mike Knox have been mentioned in the same thought, and Manik pulls out another Jannetty move by sliding from the apron into the ring under the bottom rope, through Knux's legs, and eliminates him with a flying headscissors. Kazarian quickly dumps Manik out as well before knoccking Young off the top rope with a leaping enziguiri, and we're down to Sting and Magnus of the Main Event Mafia, and Daniels & Kazarian of Bad Influence. Magnus catches Daniels on a crossbody attempt and hits a Michinoku Driver, but falls victim to double teaming by Bad Influence. Sting makes a save and hits Kazarian with a Stinger Splash as Magnus clotheslines Daniels out of the match. Magnus turns around and sees Sting trying to dump Daniels, but Magnus comes up from behind and tosses both men to win the match.
Winner: Brutus Magnus
Sting looks taken aback by what Magnus just did, but Magnus doesn't seem to think anything of it as he celebrates his victory. Magnus is now the eighth entrant in the tournament and has a shot to become the TNA World Champion if he can win the tournament.
We see Kurt Angle walking off from a conversation with the doctor that Bobby Roode was talking to earlier, and the Mystery Cameraman asks if he's cleared to wrestle tonight, and Angle says the doctor said it was in his best interest to take the night off...but still clearaed him to wrestle, so he gets to kick Bobby Roode's ass!
ODB is backstage, and she's...WALKING! Gail Kim and Lei'D Tapa are also backstage, and they're...WALKING TOO! The Knockouts Title rematch is up next!
Dixie Carter is backstage saying she's excited for Magnus qualifying for the tournament, but she's more excited to announce the brackets, which will be determined by something she calls the Wheel of Dixie. Oh boy.
Knockouts Title Match: Gail Kim vs ODB
ODB jumps Gail on her way to the ring and doesn't let up, pummeling her in the ring, at ringside, up the entryway, and back to ringside where she tosses Gail with a fallaway slam. ODB goes face to face with Tapa and leaves herself open for a baseball slide from Gail that catches ODB hard and knocks her silly. Gail drags ODB to the corner and does the ringpost figure four, then brings her back inside and ties her up with a nasty looking legscissors in the middle of the ring. ODB makes it to her feet and reverses to a half crab, shocking the hell out of me that she knows a submission move. Gail manages to drag herself to the ropes to force the break, then catches ODB with a short kick to the face. ODB dodges a charging dropkick in the corner and starts running her over with shoulderblocks before slamming her and going to the second rope. ODB comes out of the corner with a Thesz press for 2, drawing Tapa up to the apron and then stepping back down for some reason. ODB puts Gail on the top rope and gives her a twisting suplex as Tapa gets back up on the apron, apparently having jumped the gun on her cue from earlier. She distracts ODB and allows Gail to roll her up for the win.
Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels walk backstage, Daniels notices the cameraman and goes "Oh god..." before saying that the gauntlet didn't go quite as they planned, but that they should go out to the ring and tell everyone what they discovered about Abyss. They put their Sherlock Holmes costumes back on and head out to reveal their findings.
Bad Influence are in the ring and they have solved yet another mystery: The Case Of The On Again Off Again Monster Abyss. It took every ounce of their intelligence to crack this case, but that's exactly what they did because they looked high and low and realized that the best lies right below this very ring. Daniels goes under the ring and pulls out a pumpkin, which he drags into the ring and says is round and dumb like Abyss, but it's not Abyss, just another dumb vegetable. Kazarian says the pumpkin has more brains than the entire Knockout roster and everyone else in Salt Lake City (where they are tonight, by the way). Eric Young comes out dressed up for Halloween as...Joseph Park. Very clever. Young says there's no proof that Halloween is a real holiday, but it's definitely the big guy's favorite holiday and everyone is having a great time, so he got ahold of him and he wanted Young to give his favorite tag team a message. Young attacks Bad Influence and gets his ass kicked, but Abyss' music hits and the big guy himself makes his return to Impact Wrestling, taking out both members of Bad Influence, giving Kazarian the Black Hole Slam, then cornering Daniels and giving him one as well. Abyss lets out a roar and then help EY to his feet.
Kurt Angle and Bobby Roode are backstage, and they're...WALKING! They'll face off in the main event...NEXT!
We see the brackets for the TNA World Title Tournament, and here are the first round matches:
-Jeff Hardy vs Chris Sabin
-Bobby Roode vs James Storm
-Kurt Angle vs Austin Aries
-Brutus Magnus vs Samoa Joe
Dixie Carter is in the locker room with Jeff Hardy and Chris Sabin saying how excited she is to have this tournament, and she spins the Wheel of Dixie to determine the match type. Dixie spins the wheel and it lands on Full Metal Mayhem, and Dixie says Hardy is one step closer to winning the TNA World Title. Sabin says "So am I, right?" and Dixie gives him a "Yeah, whatever." answer. Sabin says "after you" to Hardy to let him leave first, then says he was kidding and pushes in front of Hardy to leave before him.
It's...MAIN EVENT TIME!
Bobby Roode vs Kurt Angle
Angle takes Roode down and dominates him on the mat, Roode slides out to the floor to take a quick breather and comes back inside to hammer on Angle with some hard forearms. Angle fires back and tosses Roode with an overhead release suplex and then clotheslines Roode to the floor. Angle goes out after Roode this time to keep the pressure up, Roode rakes Angle's eyes to block another overhead release suplex on the floor and rams his back into the ring apron to turn the tide as we go to commercial.
We're back and Roode is still in control, tying Angle up with an abdominal stretch. Angle escapes and starts dumping Roode with rolling German suplexes. Angle keeps up the pressure, but gets a little overzealous and Roode plants him with a spinebuster. Roode goes to pick Angle up, but Angle takes him down and gets an anklelock. Roode gets out of that and gets Angle in the crippler crossface right in the middle of the ring, but Angle gets ahold of Roode's ankle and twists his way out of the crossface and into the anklelock. Angle has Roode caught right in the middle of the ring, but Roode rolls through and gets Angle back in the crippler crossface. Angle tries to reverse to a cradle, Roode reverses to a crucifix, and then rolls Angle through the kickout and back into the crippler crossface. Angle rolls through again, but this time dumps Roode with an Angle Slam and covers for 2. The straps come down and Angle gets the anklelock again, Roode goes for the ropes but Angle drags him back out to the middle of the ring. Roode rolls through into a cradle for 2, then picks Angle up and hits a fireman's neckbreaker for another 2 count. Angle gets the anklelock yet again, Roode tries to reverse back to the crossface again, but Angle rolls through and grapevines the leg. Roode still somehow manages to make it to the ropes to force the break, so Angle sits Roode on the top rope and goes for a super Angle Slam. Roode fights Angle off, but Angle pops back up, runs up the corner, hits the belly to belly off the top, and drags himself over to Roode to drape an arm across Roode's chest for 2. Angle startts to get up, but suddenly collapses to the mat and starts twitching. Roode pulls himself up, but Angle doesn't move and the referee stops the match and declares Roode the winner.
Winner: Bobby Roode
Angle rolls to his back, but his entire body is twitching in a way that's reminiscent of Rocky Balboa after fighting Ivan Drago. Roode looks a little perplexed by what happened, and Angle looks like he's suffered some major, major damage as Mike Tenay tells us to go to TNA's website for updates on Kurt's condition as we close the show.

The Areaware 2B radio just might be the bridge to these whippersnappers: its visible vacuum tubes have a cool retro feel, not to mention a warm sound, and the minimalistic design is hip with the Apple generation. And thank god, this radio is only a radio, without any wifi, 3G, DRM, or any of those other scary acronyms. The 2B will ship in November for a price of $US550, but what's a few hundred dollars for such comforting simplicity? [Apartment Therapy]

L & B Spumoni Gardens
... Or, 'You Eat the Nicest Pizza on a Honda'*
Not to be upstaged by Frank Bruni's adventures in pizza, the intrepid editor and publisher of this pizza website participated in his own pizza exploits yesterday. While Mr. Bruni's quest was by sea, however, mine was decidedly by land, as yesterday marked the maiden run of "The Slicecycle."
After several summer weeks filled with rider-safety courses, DMV visits, and eBay parts searches, my recently purchased 1974 Honda CB360 was ready to be pressed into the service of seeking out superb slices. More pressing, however, was that the thing needed to pass inspection in order to comply with New York state law. The nearest inspection station? The one that's a short five blocks from home? Out of inspection stickers, of course. Forced to go to the next closest, all the way out in Bensonhurst, I thought, "HmmWhy not kill two birds and hit up L&B Spumoni Gardens after inspection?" It was, as they say, a "no-brainer."
As expected, the bike passed inspection. I paid my six bucks, got the sticker, and my days as an outlaw biker came to an end. Free to ride my machine without being hassled by the man, I wanted to get loaded on pizza. And so I was on a run to L&B, just a few blocks down 86th Street.
L&B is less a single restaurant than a complex of eateries. On the western end is the pizzeria, which turns out amazing square slices. Crisp on the bottom, airy yet toothy in the middle, and topped with a blanket of whole-cream mozzarella and then a tangy sauce, they are superior to the dense, tough Sicilian slices you get in most pizzerias, where the squares are often an afterthought, on the menu as a matter of course. At those places, you order a square when you're hard up and want to fill your stomach with the smallest amount of scratch. At L&B, even though the Sicilians are still thick, they don't bomb your belly like a lead brick. Here, like nowhere else, it's hip to be square.
I ordered two slices and a Pepsi at the pass-through window and sat at a table near the street, the better keep an eye on my ride. Chewing crust and contemplating L&B, I was struck by how much it reminded me of a suburban mini-golf-and-batting-cage park, with its dated architecture and brightly painted red-and-white battery of picnic tables. That is to say, it's a cheery place. A fun place. A throwback to the good old days of childhood. It was either Jim Leff or Steven Shaw who wrote that L&B is the kind of place families take their kids to after Little League games. That description is right on the money, and the only reason I probably didn't see any postgame hi-jinks was that it was 1 p.m. on a Friday.
Slices devoured, it was on to dessert. Just to the right of the pizzeria portion of the compound is the spumoni stand. Slice is not a dessert-review site, and I am not a huge dessert fan, so I won't get too detailed with this. Had a pistachio spumoni. Served in one of those little Italian-ice paper cups. It was good. Save room. Though with icy desserts, that's usually not a problem. There's always room for ice cream because it just melts around whatever's already in your stomach.
L&B's third part, the sit-down Italian restaurant, I can't vouch for. Slice isn't in it for pastas, etc., so we'll let other sources cover that.

When Ugandan researchers were asked to advise President Yoweri Museveni on the science of sexual orientation so he could decide whether to sign an antigay law, they tried to explain the science in good faith. But they are now crying foul, claiming that their conclusions were distorted by both the president and his ruling party, and that Museveni would have signed the law no matter what they said.

This Tech Tip reprinted with permission by java.sun.com
Top-level popup windows in "Java-speak" are called dialog boxes (or simply "dialogs"). They are typically used to interact with a user -- either to display a message or to accept user input. Before Java SE 6, dialog boxes were modeless by default, with an option to be modal. When a dialog box is modal, other windows in the application are blocked from accepting input, unless they have the dialog box as their owner. After a user reacts accordingly to a dialog box, that is, by entering input or just closing the dialog, the other windows of the application become accessible again.
Java SE 6 gives you more options regarding dialog modality. No longer are you limited in scope to one level of modality: on or off. Now you have four distinct settings defined by the new Dialog.ModalityType enumeration:
First let's look at MODELESS and APPLICATION_MODAL. A MODELESS setting means a modeless dialog box. As before, a modeless dialog box does not block input to any other window of the application. Another modal dialog box could block input to it, but a modeless one has no effect on another. If you call the setModal() method of the Dialog class with a value of false, it sets the Dialog.ModalityType to MODELESS.
The APPLICATION_MODAL setting means a modal dialog box. As before, all windows of the application that do not have the modal dialog box in their owner hierarchy are blocked from getting focus. This means that new windows can be created from the modal dialog and will accept input. However, new windows created from other pre-existing windows cannot. If you call the setModal() method of Dialog with a value of true, it sets the modality of the Dialog to DEFAULT_MODALITY_TYPE, which equates to APPLICATION_MODAL. This keeps legacy code valid, though new code should use the new setModalityType() method.
At this point you might ask what if you don't explicitly specify a modality? The answer is that the initial modality is modeless. Also, if you specify a boolean modality, it produces the same settings as calling setModal() with that boolean value. The last option is explicitly setting the modality, which has the obvious effect.
DOCUMENT_MODAL and TOOLKIT_MODAL are where things get interesting. DOCUMENT_MODAL allows you to have different sets of windows that are modal. For instance, you can have a modal application window that displays a help window. Provided that it has a top-level window that is not part of the main application hierarchy, the help window can be modal. In addition, the help window can create other modal windows that have a modality separate from the main window and separate from any modal dialogs that the help window creates. Having a modal application that displays a modal help window is a common need when utilizing the JavaHelp library. It's typical that users want to be able to interact with help, even when the current window is modal. This need wasn't adequately met prior to support for DOCUMENT_MODAL because the main application window and help window had different owner hierarchies.
Think of TOOLKIT_MODAL as APPLICATION_MODAL, where the application is the browser. (In this paragraph what's said about applets also applies to applications started through Java WebStart technology.) This setting allows one applet in a browser to be modal, blocking other applets from accepting input. That's because all the applets are loaded with the same Toolkit. Your applet must have AWTPermission.toolkitModality enabled for TOOLKIT_MODAL to work.
In addition to setting the modality type of a window, you can set the modal exclusion type by calling the setModalExclusionType() method of Window. This allows you to exclude certain windows from behaving according to the pertinent modality type. The setModalExclusionType() method accepts one of three values from the Dialog.ModalExclusionType enumeration:
The NO_EXCLUDE option means no modal exclusion. The window behaves according to its current modality type. The other two settings allow you to use a modality type, but also allow specific windows to accept input focus. The APPLICATION_EXCLUDE setting specifies that at the application level, the window will not behave according to its modality. TOOLKIT_EXCLUDE specifies that at both the application and Toolkit level, the window will not behave according to its modality. There is no way to have a window exclude behavior at the Toolkit level, but not at the application level.
Before using either the modality types or the exclusion option, you can ask the Toolkit if either is supported. To discover if a particular modality is supported, use the boolean isModalityTypeSupported(Dialog.ModalityType modalityType) method. To discover if an exclusion type is supported, use the boolean isModalExclusionTypeSupported(Dialog.ModalExclusionType modalExclusionType) method.
Here's a program, DualModal, that displays two frames that use the DOCUMENT_MODAL setting. Each frame has a button that creates a document modal option pane, accepting input. The label of the selected button changes to the text that was entered when the option pane closes.
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class DualModal { public static void main(String args[]) { Runnable runner = new Runnable() { public void run() { JFrame frame1 = new JFrame("Left"); JFrame frame2 = new JFrame("Right"); frame1.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame2.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); JButton button1 = new JButton("Left"); JButton button2 = new JButton("Right"); frame1.add(button1, BorderLayout.CENTER); frame2.add(button2, BorderLayout.CENTER); ActionListener listener = new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { JButton source = (JButton)e.getSource(); String text = getNewText(source); if (!JOptionPane.UNINITIALIZED_VALUE.equals(text) && text.trim().length() > 0) { source.setText(text); } } }; button1.addActionListener(listener); button2.addActionListener(listener); frame1.setBounds(100, 100, 200, 200); frame1.setVisible(true); frame2.setBounds(400, 100, 200, 200); frame2.setVisible(true); } }; EventQueue.invokeLater(runner); } private static String getNewText(Component parent) { JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane( "New label", JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE ); pane.setWantsInput(true); JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog(parent, "Enter Text"); // Uncomment line and comment out next // to see application modal // dialog.setModalityType( // Dialog.ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL); dialog.setModalityType( Dialog.ModalityType.DOCUMENT_MODAL); dialog.setVisible(true); return (String)pane.getInputValue(); } }
Notice how you can interact with the top-level dialog, but not the frame under either of them when the dialog is shown.
Here is what the initial pair of frames look like:
And here are the two frames with their respective option panes:
You might think that changing the setModalityType() line to use APPLICATION_MODAL would allow you to interact with both option frames simultaneously. It won't. You need to finish using one option frame before you can bring up the other.
Two points worth mentioning here. Changing the modality of an already displayed window has no effect. You must hide the dialog box and make it visible again for the new modality setting to take effect.
Also, prior to Java SE 6, any AWT Window or subclass could use the setAlwaysOnTop() method of Window to request that it is always displayed on top. This is not the same as modal and does not prevent other windows from getting input focus.
For more information on dialog modality, see the article The New Modality API in Mustang.

ROCHESTER — With hopes of opening a new car dealership on Milton Road as soon as possible, Norway Plains engineering President Art Nickless asked the Planning Board to consider a phased approach when it comes to site plans for Fairway Auto Sales.
Plans for the new car dealership, to be located near Route 11, previously came before the Planning Board in June, and in order to make a single-family home into a business, a section of Old Milton Road had to be abandoned by the city before work on the site could start.
Recently, the City Council voted to abandon a section of Old Milton Road. Because the council vote occurred six months after the project went before the Planning Board, the site plans could not be approved in time for construction of the dealership to begin.
Plans include demolishing an existing single family home, with the current address of 72 Old Milton Road, and building a car dealership instead, with cars displayed in the front.
On Tuesday, Nickless asked the Planning Board to consider plans for the first phase of the project, which would entail a display of about 10 vehicles at that location and for the owner to use the existing house as a sales office for the next several months. Nickless said that this initial phase would help the business gain revenue during the winter, without having to wait for the spring, when construction season begins.
The Planning Board decided Tuesday to take up Nickless' proposal at the board's future meeting.

What's Up for January 2011?
Quadrantid meteor shower fireworks ring in the new year!
Transcript:What's Up for January? Meteor shower fireworks ring in the New Year!
Hello and welcome. I'm Jane Houston Jones at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
If you didn't catch last month's Geminid meteor shower, don't worry about it.
The January Quadrantids will be just as good - and maybe even better, depending on your location.
They peak on January 3rd and 4th, which is a dark, new-moon night this month.
This means that there won't be any annoying moonlight to spoil the fireworks display.
This could be the best shower of the year.
The peak of this meteor shower is best seen from Europe.
Here in the Western Hemisphere the radiant doesn't even rise till after midnight.
And this shower has a very sharp peak, which means that most meteors are visible for only several hours, instead of several days, like the famous Perseids of August.
Look in the northeast between and below the familiar Big and Little Dippers and the bright star Arcturus. This shower isn't named for the modern constellation in which it appears,but for an obsolete one called Quadrans Muralis.
It depicts an early instrument called a Mural Quadrant,which was used to observe and measure stellar positions. It's similar to today's sextant.
There's more to enjoy this wintry month.
Venus, Mercury and Saturn continue to dazzle early risers before dawn.
And by month-end Saturn rises before midnight.
Jupiter, on the other hand, sets before 9:30 p.m. by month-end.
In February the repurposed spacecraft Stardust-NExT will fly by comet Tempel 1, which was first visited by NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft in 2005.

The darkest element
Uranium: War, Energy, and the Rock That Shaped the World
Tom Zoellner
317 pages,
softcover: $26.95.
Viking, 2009.
Writer Tom Zoellner has a great sense of timing. His latest work, Uranium: War, Energy, and the Rock That Shaped the World, hits the shelves as media attention zeros in on Iran and North Korea's nuclear programs, the explosion of uranium development near the Grand Canyon, and President Obama's pledge to "look at every possible option," including nuclear power, to satisfy our growing energy needs.
In Uranium, Zoellner mixes a joyful zeal for his subject matter reminiscent of Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything with tenacious investigative journalism comparable to Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine. Uranium occasionally loses momentum, taking a few obligatory slogs through well-known events like America's atomic development during World War II, but solid storytelling prevails.
The book presents disturbing firsthand accounts of places like the Shikolobwe Mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where, despite four decades of official closure, local men still work barehanded to feed a thriving black market. He visits Russia to uncover smuggling rings dealing weapons-grade uranium and observes the effects of industrial mining on Aborigines in Australia's Northern Territory. In London, he drops by the World Nuclear Association, a private-sector group promoting safe nuclear power, whose lobby sports a bust of Homer Simpson.
Closer to home, Zoellner reports on the Grand Canyon's Arizona Strip, where the Bush administration has been approving new mining claims despite a House resolution on June 25 that placed over a million acres off-limits. Zoellner brings to life the uranium mania of the 1950s with the story of Moab's own boom-and-bust miner, Charlie Steen, and contrasts it with the sobering story of Navajo miner Willie Johnson. Johnson now lives with silicosis, a lung disease, and many of his coworkers died of cancer.
The environmental concerns surrounding uranium are covered only in passing. Uranium presents an engulfing history, not a cautionary tale. Despite his penchant for tangent and trivia, Zoellner extracts a captivating narrative from interwoven story lines, skillfully characterizing this mysterious member of the periodic table, which continues "to amplify some of the darker pulls of humanity: greed, vanity, xenophobia, arrogance, and a certain suicidal glee."

In Nunavik, there are many dogs — sled dogs, pets, and strays — but no veterinarian, so the University of Montreal International Veterinary Group has given Andréanne Cléroux, a veterinary student, the mandate to design and deliver a first aid guide for dogs in northern Quebec. "The problem relates mainly to animal health care, immunization, and dog population control," Cléroux explains. "We wanted to create a guide that would provide basic tools for pet owners so they can provide care to their animal while waiting to contact the remote veterinary consultation service to get advice from a veterinarian at the CHUV (University of Montreal Veterinary Hospital).
The initiative is part of the Support project in veterinary public health and animal health in Nunavik, which began in 2008 with the creation of the remote veterinary consultation service.
Last year, Cléroux spent a month writing the guide before flying to Nunavik. During her one-week stay, she presented a draft of her work to several inhabitants of the town of Kuujjuaq. She was accompanied by the junior college student Emaly Bibeau Jonas, who provided interpretation between Inuktitut and French. "Through their comments, I was able to rework the guide to make it more simple, concise, and user-friendly," says Cléroux, who was supervised by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine's Dr. Denise Bélanger, Dr. Cécile Aenishaenslin, and Dr. Josiane Houle.
The challenge, she notes, was to produce a manual that would address both those unfamiliar with animal health care and those who already have more advanced knowledge, such as dog sled drivers. "Dog mushers are great for recognizing and treating all kinds of medical conditions," says Cléroux.
With accompanying photographs, the guide covers everything from vaccination schedules, drug administration, and care of newborns, to sterilization, zoonotic diseases, fractures, and bandaging methods.
Cléroux has also created a first aid kit that includes all the necessary material to provide the care described in the manual. "At the moment, there is only one kit available at the Makivik Corporation research center in Kuujjuaq. Our goal is to distribute one kit to each of the 14 communities in Nunavik." This month, she'll be traveling once again north of the 55th parallel to deliver copies of the official version of the guide to dog owners in Kuujjuaq. She will do the same in the communities of Quaqtaq and Puvirnituq, while providing first aid kits. "We will evaluate their use by the residents and then decide how to proceed with the other villages," she says. "I hope our work will increase people awareness of veterinary public health issues and animal health, and that our tools will encourage them to promote animal health and care."
Vaccination campaign Rabies is an often-cited problem in Nunavik. "It's an endemic problem. There are reported cases every year," notes Cléroux. The ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec (MAPAQ) visits the communities in Hudson Bay and Ungava Bay to conduct annual vaccination campaigns. They provide basic and antirabies vaccines. Local vaccinators are also present at other times of the year. "There is still room for improvement, but we must recognize that vaccination is more widespread than before," says Cléroux.
She experienced this first hand during her stay. At the invitation of MAPAQ, she organized a vaccination clinic, which to her surprise, drew dozens of people. "We saw 120 dogs and two cats in one afternoon!" she recounts, still amazed. "The children were leaning over our shoulders to watch us work and each had a story to tell."
This experience was "extremely rewarding" for the student. "I would like to continue working in these communities. I could go there from time to time to participate in immunization clinics or other projects that focus on animal and public health."

Warner Bros. has released a full gallery of high-resolution images from Tim Burton's upcoming Dark Shadows. Johnny Depp stars as a vampire who awakens in 1972 after having been buried for 200 years and tries to reconnect with his descendants. We've seen a couple of these images before, but Warner Bros. also released a number of images of Burton at work on set making artsy hand gestures.
Hit the jump to check out the images. The film also stars Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Chloe Moretz, Jackie Earle Haley, Gulliver McGrath, Helena Bonham Carter, Bella Heathcote, Ray Shirley, and Jonny Lee Miller. Dark Shadows opens on May 11th.
Click for hi-res.
Here's the synopsis for Dark Shadows:
In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive.
Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles.
Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins, (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis, played by Jackie Earle Haley, and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters, played by Bella Heathcote.

The infernal fire that has blazed beneath cynical detective John Constantine for years is being extinguished.
But not for long.
The chain-smoking British occult detective, long a staple of Vertigo's "Hellblazer," is getting what promises to be a duly deserved send-off as the title ends at No. 300 in February.
But Constantine, a somewhat sorcerer more at home fighting demons than socializing with people, won't be fading away with the title's end, which is being written by longtime writer Peter Milligan and illustrated by artists Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Landini. Instead, the ending is a beginning of sorts for the character.
That's because writer Robert Venditti, a best-selling author whose works include "The Homeland Directive," will launch "Constantine" with artist Renato Guedes, a new series from DC Comics focusing on the detective's adventures in the relaunched DC universe.
Fans of Constantine will still see elements of the man they've come to know since "Hellblazer" began in 1988, Venditti said, but there will be changes along with the familiar aspects, too.
"He's going to be the same age that he is in Justice League Dark and the same character that people know and recognize — the drinking and smoking, the con man aspect of him — that's going to be very much part of the series," he said.
Venditti likened the challenge of writing John Constantine, whose long history has led to a devoted fan base, to that of his critical and commercial success in reviving Valiant Entertainment's "X-O Manowar" this year.
"The mission is very much the same," he said. "While I'm aware of all the rich history, I can't look at it from 'How am I going to compete with that?' I am going to come to the book and tell the best stories that I can."
At the same time, Venditti said he's writing the character in a way that's like an onion, albeit a supernatural laden, cigarette smoking roustabout with a jaded outlook on life.
"I like the idea of him being so layered. There's always machinations going on underneath with Constantine and that's what makes him such an enjoyable character to read and write," Venditti said.
"He is devious, he is underhanded and he's a very big-picture oriented guy," he said. "When you're dealing with things like demons running loose on earth, you need to be that way."

I'm a bit confused about command-line usage.
I'm building a fairly complex system and use coffeescript, thus cake for builds. The tasks typically run unix commands like git, cat, ls, coffee, and naturally the node functions .. exec all over the place.
Does grunt replace the unix command line? I.e. if I convert to grunt, will it be a bit more portable because I'll no longer need the unix/bash cli? .. would work equally on Mac (unix) and Windows (non-unix)— Owen

About the Brand
It started with one simple question that perhaps a lot of us parents have: 'Why can't we wash our kids' rugs at home? That was enough to set Lorena Canals on a journey to come up with a solution.

About 100% Cotton
As you're probably aware, cotton is a natural fibre that comes from the cotton plant and grows commonly all over the world. It is a renewable and eco-friendly material that is easy to clean and maintain. Compared to wool, it is a less durable material due to its softer fibres and therefore, cannot take the pounding that wool rugs can. However, cotton rugs do offer an unparalleled feeling of softness, comfort and warmth. And cotton bares one important quality that wool rugs cannot offer. It is completely machine washable!
Care Instructions for Cotton Rugs
- Wash separately at 30 degrees maximum
- Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent without bleach
- Tumble dry at low temperature. Do not leave the wet rug inside the washing machine
- Avoid continuous exposure to the sun
- Do not worry if fluff appears
- Sweep the rug with a stiff broom and use a vacuum cleaner regularly
- If you find a long thread, cut it with scissors. Never pull it
- Enjoy the rug and let your kids get messy!
- Rug pad is recommended to prevent slippage

This Friday and Saturday the San Antonio Symphony will play the "Organ" Symphony by Camille Saint-Saëns. For many years, this fabulous symphony wasn't played that often because many concert halls do not have large pipe organs. The old-style electronic organs weren't a decent substitute for a real pipe organ. But technology has come a long way and now we have digital sampled sounds that are just amazing. In San Antonio we have the San Antonio Community Organ, which is made available to arts organizations courtesy of the Bruce and Anne Johnson Charitable Foundation. It is a wonderful Allen Q345 organ.
What is "sampled sound" and how is it different than the electronic organs of the past?
Bruce Johnson explained to me that the old electronic organs used circuits to synthesize wave sounds. But the new organs start with recordings and then convert those recordings to digital form for storage. Bruce said, "They all start with real pipes. Allen records the the best-of-breed pipes from around the world."
On the Allen Organ web site they explain that they also take into account the rooms that house great organs. "Allen engineers have recorded the acoustics of cathedrals and other acoustically desirable buildings throughout the world." To reproduce CD quality sound in an organ takes about 100,000 computer calculations per second for each sound. The reverb reproduction in an Allen organ needs 400 million calculations per second!
I'm not technically proficient enough to understand what 400 million calculations per second really mean, but I know these organs sound great. But most importantly, they have enabled orchestras that perform in halls without pipe organs to play the Saint-Saëns symphony. Here is a video of nine minutes of the piece, performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra conducted by Emmanuel Villaume in Suntory Hall, Tokyo. The organ makes its dramatic entrance at the 7:05 mark.
The hear the grand ending, you'll have to join us this weekend!

Right back on track
Whitecaps FC prepare to host Philadelphia Union
There is no doubt that the players were disappointed with the way their unbeaten streak came to an end against LA Galaxy last weekend.
We did not put in a good shift and it will be important for them to bounce back from that straight away.
The team has been playing with a lot of confidence and needs to put last week's performance behind them by coming out strong and taking the game to Philadelphia. As I have often said, our up-tempo style of soccer has overrun teams in the past. When we move the ball quickly and put teams under pressure, good things have happened for us.
We are the only unbeaten team at home and if we come to play we will have great chance for another win at BC Place.
Mclnerney and Le Toux
Le Toux finds McInerney for winner vs. Chicago Fire
This game brings together two of the highest scoring team in Major League Soccer.
Many have come to know the 'Caps fearsome attacking trio of Russell Teibert, Camilo and Kenny Miller.
Philadelphia have a three-pronged attack of their own with Jack McInerney, Conor Casey and Sebastien Le Toux. However, the Union will be missing Conor Casey through suspension after yellow card accumulation. That means they will need more from the other two.
McInerney is fourth in the league with 10 goals, and Le Toux is leading the league with nine assists.
Mclnerney is an out-and-out goal poacher who seems to be in the right place at the right time. He is always moving and has a knack for losing defenders in the penalty area and scoring tap-in goals.
Of course, you need good service if you are to get these chances and Le Toux has provided plenty of those. We all remember Le Toux from his time in Vancouver. He was always tireless in his running and he popped in a few key goals. But things have worked out for the best.
Le Toux is obviously suited to playing in Philly. The likeable Frenchman has elevated his play in both of the two stints he has played in Philadelphia. In his first stint he led the Union in goals, and now he leads them in assists.
Both McInerney and Le Toux will have to be shut down in order for us to keep our unbeaten record at home.
Team defence
Rusin makes a big block to deny Mike Magee
As mentioned, we have two of the highest scoring team in MLS playing at BC Place on Saturday. That means that both defences could be under a lot of pressure.
When two high scoring teams get together, two schools of thought usually clash. Generally, both teams either continue to emphasize attacking play and bank on outscoring one another. Or, they both really bunker down and focus on shutting down the opposing attack, which can cancel them both out.
Trying to outscore a team is always a risky proposition, so it will be important that the whole team focuses on team defence when we don't have the ball.
We know we will get good chances playing at home and hopefully they will find the back of the net. Before the Galaxy game we had been very tough to break down and did not concede many goals against. That was because everybody was committed to work hard defensively, from the front to the back.
Play team defence and our offence will take care of the rest.

Says Dominic Raiola, after being asked about Packers fans who moon visiting teams' buses, "I get to the stadium too early. I don't see that. But that'd be pretty awesome to see. I don't know if I want to see any of those people naked. They're not in real good shape up there."
He adds, "It looks like they live a simple life. They love the Pack and that's pretty much it."
Last year, Raiola did this with Dolphins fans. Colorful character!

His stopping of more women than men isn't relevant to woman's trial, attorney says
During the coming trial of local artist Sally Adams, prosecutors want to withhold from the jury the fact that the trooper who arrested Adams stops more women than men.
According to a motion filed this week by Assistant State Attorney Shannon Hankin, prosecutors want to bar any "implication that Trooper (Melvin) Arthur profiles female drivers, stops a disproportionate number of female drivers, or arrests a disproportionate number of female drivers. Said allegations are not relevant to any fact and have not been supported by any materials provided through discovery."
Arthur stopped Adams, 52, last May on Tamiami Trail, just south of Hillview Street, because her tag light was out.
Three hours later, Arthur arrested her on a DUI charge. Adams' breath tested for alcohol at 0.036 percent — below the 0.08 level at which Florida drivers are considered intoxicated. Adams also was charged with resisting arrest, a misdemeanor, and escape — a felony punishable by 16 years in prison. Adams says the handcuffs that Arthur placed on her wrists slipped off.
Adams has said she believes she was profiled by the trooper because she is a woman.
Arthur, 24, has a reputation among some defense lawyers for stopping more women than men.
According to information provided to the Herald-Tribune by the Florida Highway Patrol, which consisted of all traffic stops Arthur made in 2012, nearly two-thirds of the drivers he pulled over were women, as were 62 percent of those that Arthur arrested on DUI charges.
Prosecutors dismissed the DUI charges against Adams this week, but she is still scheduled to go to trial Thursday to face resisting and escape charges.
"I am anxious for the jury and the public to hear the truth," Adams said.
Until she met Arthur, Adams had never been arrested.
Prosecutors also want to withhold from the jury Adams "lack of criminal history."
Hankin also wants to keep from jurors the fact Adams passed the breath test: "The defendant is not charged with Driving Under the Influence and the BAC results were obtained after the trooper's arrest of the defendant and therefore have no relevance as to whether the trooper had probable cause at the time of the arrest."
Hankin did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Adams' arrest was videotaped by Arthur's dash camera and those of other troopers. A camera caught one conversation between several officers, during which Arthur recounts his takedown of Adams: "I put her f------ ass in the dirt."
Hankin is seeking to bar certain conversations recorded between the officers, because "the interaction does not help prove or disprove any material fact and would only be used to cast law enforcement in a bad light."
