Chord by chord, line by line, beat by beat, hook by glorious hook, none is as convincing in 2013 as the Queens of the Stone Age. Even their codas kill.
The 6,000 heads moving in lockstep unison Saturday night at the Gibson Amphitheatre during "No One Knows" offered undeniable proof. With necks rubbery, noggins kept time with the Queens' rolling thunder beat as if snipers were commanding it from above, chunka-chunka riffs pushing through the venue as the band carried its devoted base through a song about rules to follow, pills to swallow.
They traveled with Queens founder-singer-guitarist-desert dweller Josh Homme "through the desert of the mind with no hope," drifted through the ocean, "dead lifeboats in the sun," as the perfectly engineered band hummed. The group has been on the road for dozens of dates this summer, and holy boulders does it show. Pardon the language, but what a cussin' rock band.
The perfect one, as it happens, for the occasion. The Gibson is soon to be demolished, to be replaced by some Harry Potter thing. What better way to loosen the bolts than with a five-man wrecking crew, each seated upon his own sonic bulldozer plowing forward with a bead on destruction.
Killed by the Queens. Write that in the obituary. Pummeled by a band as tight as Walter White's underwear, as frantic and addictive as his crystal meth. Touring in support of their sixth album, "... Like Clockwork," the Queens offered nearly two hours of jams both hummable and head-bangable.
From the opening riffs, the Queens ruled. Homme and his band, which he's built from scratch over the last decade, took to a sprint with a track from "... Like Clockwork," "My God Is the Sun." A song whose lyrics suggest not metal icons Ozzy or Lemmy but the poet Rumi, on "My God," Homme carried the Gibson "far beyond the desert road, where everything ends up."
Kneeling in the lyrical blazing heat while he and guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen picked out a synchronized electric melody and drummer Jon Theodore banged his snare and sizzled his high hat, Homme described getting lost within the light: "Heal them, with fire from above," he pleaded in worship, concluding that it's "so good to be an ant who crawls atop a spinning rock."
In that and other songs, the Queens mesmerized with what the ever-quotable Homme once described in recipe form as "a little bit of stupidity, a little bit of intelligence and sprinkle a little bit of sexuality on it, mix it and then drink it." There were a lot of drunk rockers at the Gibson.
On a structural level, the pure architecture of Homme's music filled the amphitheater with impressive heft. One of the many highlights, a catchy version of "Long Slow Goodbye" from the band's 2005 album "Lullabies to Paralyze," traveled within a music construct that featured a basic A-A-B-A pattern as simple as an early (but distorted and heavy) Beatles ditty. But, halfway through, it spiraled into a brief, vertiginous diversion before returning to stability.
Over the years, I've seen the Queens a dozen times, including a memorably gritty gig in which they thrilled a sweaty club called Rock City in Nottingham, England. That gig occurred just as their "Songs for the Deaf" was kicking in the front doors that led them into the demolition party they threw on Saturday. Five hundred working-class yobs pogoing to "Go with the Flow" -- in the heart of Motörhead country, no less -- can't be wrong.
Nor could the thousands jamming to the same song in the heart of Universal City years later. Through that journey, Homme and band have expanded both their fan base and their sound -- and pretty much mastered the art of the rock song. On Saturday, they illustrated their taste and melodic depth, their feel for rhythm and their ability to spin into ridiculous curlicue hooks and transfixing, never-dumb guitar solos.
The evidence was in one of the three encore songs: "I Appear Missing" from "... Like Clockwork." A levitating mass as dense and imposing as a Richard Serra sculpture, on it Homme in perfect lyric described a soul lost within a coma, and the fans screamed every word to the devastating hook: "Shock me awake, tear me apart/Pinned like a note in a hospital gown/Prison of sleep deeper down/The rabbit hole never to be found."
Heaviness takes many forms, and during this moment the people in the pit were no longer banging heads. Rather, they swayed, as if hypnotized and unbalanced by the musical wrecking balls hurtling toward them. Or maybe that was the Gibson's foundations loosening a little.

Eagles coach Andy Reid answered questions for 26 minutes Tuesday in front of the cameras, then spoke with a few reporters privately for 12 more minutes, explaining the extraordinary decision to fire defensive coordinator Juan Castillo with the Eagles sitting at 3-3. Reid replaced Castillo with secondary coach Todd Bowles.
More on Bowles background here.
The upshot Tuesday: Reid was vehement that he alone made the decision, that saving his own job was not part of his thought process, and that whether reporters, fans and even players might detect a whiff of panic was beside the point.
Reid also hinted at other pending changes. Asked about turnover-plagued quarterback Michael Vick, Reid repeated what he'd said a day earlier about Castillo, that Vick was the starter "as I sit here right now" -- even though Reid happened to be standing behind a lectern -- but he said he would continue to evaluate all phases of the operation during the team's bye week.
"I'm going through and evaluating our football team, both coaches and players. This is one of the moves. We'll see where this goes from here," said Reid, who said firing his loyal assistant of 14 years was "one of the tougher things I've had to do."
It was Reid who shocked the football world during Super Bowl week February 2011 by making his offensive line coach the defensive coordinator. It was Reid who saw Castillo struggle matching wits with experienced offensive coordinators during a series of disastrous fourth quarters last season, then decided to stick with Castillo after evaluating his disappointing 8-8 team at the end of the year. And it was Reid who finally gave up on the experiment Monday night, sitting down with Castillo to tell him he was done.
"We all know how much I care about Juan Castillo as a person and as a football coach. He's a good football coach," Reid said. "Tremendous football coach."
Asked about perception, Reid said: "All you can do is tell the truth. I've been questioned on every decision, whether somebody else made it for me or didn't make it for me. That's not what this is about. At all.
"You can't worry about [perception]. I've got to do what I think is right right now. That's what I've got to do. It's as simple as that. I completely understand where people will come from. I got it."
Reid had spoken Monday of beginning a lengthy evaluation process, first at his day-after news conference, then during his weekly radio show. On the 94 WIP radio show Monday evening, Reid stressed that he hadn't done anything, wanted to let the anger and disappointment from Sunday's loss to the Lions subside before making any decisions. Within a few hours, presumably, he was delivering the news to Castillo.
Asked about that Tuesday, Reid said: "There's ways of buying time in this business, where you can think. Mondays are pretty crazy. You want to make sure you step back a little bit."
Reid stressed his continuing regard for Castillo, said he'd spoken to him again Tuesday morning.
Reid said repeated fourth quarter failures last season, and then again the past two weeks, were part of his decision.
"I thought we made progress" toward the end of last season, Reid said. "I thought we kind of did that through training camp, through the first couple games, and then there were just some things that I go 'I've got to look at this.' That's kind of where I went."
Bowles, who turns 49 next month, was a star safety at Temple who played 8 NFL seasons for the Redskins and 49ers. He served as interim head coach for the Dolphins last year after Tony Sparano was fired.
Reid said he didn't bring Bowles in last offseason to replace Castillo, though a cynic might suggest Bowles got the job as soon as he became familiar with the personnel and scheme. Reid said the defensive scheme would not change.
"He's all-in, works hard, smart," Reid said of Bowles, whom he said had made a lot of good sugestions this year. "Seems to have a good feel for the game, is a good communicator."
Reid said in speaking with Castillo he was "as real as I could be, to a good friend. He understands the business. Thank goodness he understands it. He knows that he's going to be all right. This isn't the end of his road or anything."

Eaton Centre, Toronto Ontario
Wikipedia: One of the most prominent sights in the shopping mall is the group of fibreglass Canada Geese hanging from the ceiling. This sculpture, named Flight Stop, is the work of artist Michael Snow. It was also the subject of an important intellectual property court ruling. One year, the management of the centre decided to decorate the geese with red ribbons for Christmas, without consulting Snow. Snow objected arguing that the ribbons made his naturalistic work "ridiculous" and harmed his reputation as an artist. Snow sued and in Snow v. The Eaton Centre Ltd. the court ruled that even though the Centre owned the sculpture, the ribbons had infringed Snow's moral rights. The ribbons were ordered removed. The mall contains a wide selection of 230 stores, restaurants and two foodcourts. The mall is served by two subway stations, Queen and Dundas, located at its southernmost and northernmost points respectively.

Can Microsoft Exchange Server handle non-ASCII characters in domain names?
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has updated the Requests for Comments (RFCs) that govern permissible characters in DNS names. Therefore, names such as Étudiant.fr and møller.no are now legal, assuming that your DNS client and server support them. Exchange and Microsoft Outlook, however, don't currently support such names. RFC 3490 (http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=3490) explains how applications can convert non-ASCII characters to an ASCII representation, but at the time of this writing, Microsoft has no plans to modify Exchange or Outlook to do so.

The Spirit
No words.. - Txita
... to accurately describe how awful, boring and tedious this movie is.. Given the casting one would think is worthy to give it a whatch.. also if you love comics, superhero action movies and also if you were fan, as i am, of Sin City then you'd even be waiting for the release and be there first on the queue and all for what?? for getting the biggest disappointment ever.. first half an hour of the movie is just impossible to keep awake.. then.. you try hard.. coz you like the idea of the movie.. and you keep hoping that it will pick up at some stage and will be great.. well.. thank god we are seated while waiting.. nothing gets to happen.. 100% avoidable.. Don't waste a tener on this!!! Giving it the one star because you can leave it at 0.. but it would be a definite one!!!

A real-time, online checklist program, eBird has revolutionized the way that the birding community reports and accesses information about birds. Launched in 2002 by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon Society, eBird provides rich data sources for basic information on bird abundance and distribution at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
eBird's goal is to maximize the utility and accessibility of the vast numbers of bird observations made each year by recreational and professional bird watchers. It is amassing one of the largest and fastest growing biodiversity data resources in existence. For example, in May 2015, participants reported more than 9.5 million bird observations across the world!
The observations of each participant join those of others in an international network of eBird users. eBird then shares these observations with a global community of educators, land managers, ornithologists, and conservation biologists. In time these data will become the foundation for a better understanding of bird distribution across the western hemisphere and beyond.
How Does it Work?
eBird documents the presence or absence of species, as well as bird abundance through checklist data. A simple and intuitive web-interface engages tens of thousands of participants to submit their observations or view results via interactive queries into the eBird database. eBird encourages users to participate by providing Internet tools that maintain their personal bird records and enable them to visualize data with interactive maps, graphs, and bar charts. All these features are available in English, Spanish, and French.
A birder simply enters when, where, and how they went birding, then fills out a checklist of all the birds seen and heard during the outing. eBird provides various options for data gathering including point counts, transects, and area searches. Automated data quality filters developed by regional bird experts review all submissions before they enter the database. Local experts review unusual records that are flagged by the filters.
Data Integration
eBird collects observations from birders through portals managed and maintained by local partner conservation organizations. In this way eBird targets specific audiences with the highest level of local expertise, promotion, and project ownership. Portals may have a regional focus (aVerAves, eBird Puerto Rico) or they may have more specific goals and/or specific methodologies (Louisiana Winter Bird Atlas, Bird Conservation Network eBird). Each eBird portal is fully integrated within the eBird database and application infrastructure so that data can be analyzed across political and geographic boundaries. For example, observers entering observations of Cape May Warbler from Puerto Rico can view those data separately, or with the entire Cape May Warbler data set gathered by eBird across the western hemisphere.
Data Accessibility
eBird data are stored in a secure facility and archived daily, and are accessible to anyone via the eBird web site and other applications developed by the global biodiversity information community. For example, eBird data are part of the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN), which integrates observational data on bird populations across the western hemisphere. In turn, the AKN feeds eBird data to international biodiversity data systems, such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). In this way any contribution made to eBird increases our understanding of the distribution, richness, and uniqueness of the biodiversity of our planet.

Well Im back here again to give you my scenario the Steelers playoff chances. The Steelers did get a lot of help today and they didnt as well. They needed 5 teams to lose Cincy,Jags,KC,Denver,and the Jets and 3 of them did out of 5. It probably should have been 4 seeing that the Colts lost to the Jags which was a real killer for the Steelers as I see some of you already posted on here earlier today. I expected Cincy to beat Oakland I knew that was a longshot, but I also told everybody all week that Denver would lose to San Diego,Jets would lose to Buffalo,and the Chiefs would lose to Ravens and they all did. I was absolutely stunned that Indy got blown out by the Jags considering they were coming off a loss last week and I didnt expect the Colts to lose 2 games in a row. With that being said the scenario is now this the Steelers are at 6-7 they are a game behind 3 teams the Broncos,Chiefs,and Jets,and 2 games behind 2 teams the Bengals and Jags. Here is the deal for next week now. All 5 of these teams have road games. The Bengals play at Indy,Jags play at Tennessee,Jets play at Minnesota,KC play at San Diego,and Denver plays at Arizona who pulled the big upset today over Seattle in Arizona a team that beat the Broncos in Denver by 3 just last week.
The key teams to watch next week are the Jags,Cincy and Denver. KC I think will lose to San Diego and that will give them 7 losses and thus if the Steelers win out we win the tiebraker over them based on the head to head meeting. So that takes care of the Chiefs. Im pretty sure if the Jets lose one of the next 2 to either Minnesota or Miami both on the road and they finish 9-7 the Steelers win the tiebraker with them based on common opponents. So again here is the deal.
The Steelers really need the Jags to lose in Tennessee and the Bengals to lose in Indy next week. Both have a real good shot of happening I think. Colts are playing Cincy in Indy and I cant see them losing 3 in a row, and the Jags are playing a hot Tennessee team right now who is playing very well especially at home and always plays the Jags tough since they are in their own division. The Steelers need Cincy to pretty much lose out because if they finish 9-7 with the Bengals they will lose the tiebraker because Cincy would have a better conference record then the Steelers. Cincy finishes up with games at Indy,at Denver,and with the Steelers so it is very very possible they can lose out and finish at 8-8 and if the Steelers win out they finish at 9-7. The Jags finish up with games at Tennessee,home to New England,and at Kansas City on New Years Eve. They can definitely lose all 3 of those. The key game will be next week at Tennessee it will probably be the easiest one for the Jags to win out of the 3. If the Jags win next week we cant catch them because that would give them 9 wins and we lose the head to head with them because we lost to them 9-0 the 2nd game of the year. That leaves the Broncos who finish up with games at Arizona,home to Cincy and home to San Francisco. Now the Broncos can still finish 9-7 and the Steelers can win the tiebraker against them if they do finish 9-7 if Kansas City finishes 9-7 which I think they will because they will beat Oakland and the Jags the last 2 weeks to get them to 9-7. They would cancel out Denver because of the better division record and the Steelers would win the head to head tiebraker with Kansas City because they beat them. So with Denver the Steelers need them to lose either to Arizona next week or to San Francisco the last week. Its gonna be tough but stranger things have happened and any team can lose any given week. Denver has lost 4 in a row and is really struggling with Cutler in there now. Arizona will play them tough next week I think.
So there is your updated scenarios here at the end of the night here. The Steelers still do remain alive and I do think can beat a pretty banged up beat up Carolina team next week. The Steelers next week though keep in mind need Cincy to lose in Indy which I think will happen, and they need the Jags to lose in Tennessee which also can happen as well. If Denver would lose to Arizona as well that would be huge seeing that they play Cincy the following week and unless that game ends in a tie one of those teams will get to 9 wins and the Steelers couldnt catch them.
But the Steelers are still very much alive for the wildcard spot guys so dont give up yet. Cincy and the Jags have very tough schedules and can easily lose out seeing who they play. The Jags beating Indy today was a killer because then all 4 would have lost and been 7-6 and we would have been a game back of the 6th spot behind KC,Jets,Denver,and the Jags. The math is still possible like I been saying guys and until its not Ill keep believing and giving you my scenarios like I just did here. Let me know what you guys think about this latest one.

To Whom This May Concern
Hypthericaly, I would preach the following words in a voice caring the strength of all the worlds choirs. Standing with one foot atop of the offender wand my awesome cape swaying pationilty blowing in the wind:
You've got nerve
To act like I should be excited to see you!
What you said, is an aweful thing to say to any person
Ignerance is an every day occurance
But I don't except such insensitivity and disgrace from people that I know
And worse
From someone whom I thought carred about me
I forgave you
For me
But I don't have to forget
I hope my pain reminds you that no matter ones sex, sexuality or ethnic origin
They are still an
A person
A human
And if you can't extend that basic respect to every person that you meet then how will anyone respect you.
Hypotheticaly, that is how I see it playing out. But for now I will just try to get some sleep.

Dd has finally seen SALT. She had four sessions where she did well in all aspects of CELF and interspersed with conversation. It was 1:1 with me and/or dh present. At the end of today SALT basically said there is no issue, but is meeting with dh and I next week to answer any questions.
DD was referred by school. We are uncertain as to whether dd is ASD or not - some of the way she is could be due to growing up with an abusive older brother (ds1 has ASD, verbally and physically aggressive, and was at home until last year). It has taken 15 months to see the SALT. However, I could have said a the start that nothing in the CELF tests would cause any problem to dd who has very good language skills and reads extensively. The only thing I noticed was dd didn't pick up on cues to speak that weren't direct questions, but SALT didn't seem to think that was a problem. Ds1 is also very good with language and very articulate.
Things that concern us (and that the SALT won't have seen any evidence of), and we can't discern whether they are normal and we are being oversensitive, or they are due to the family situation with ds1, or due to ASD:
Dd often stands between two people who are talking breaking their eye contact, and talks to people who are in the middle of speaking.
She ignores what her friends say and starts a different conversation of her own interest.
She doesn't join in with friends' games unless it suits her own interests.
Outright bluntness when addressing people (particularly in relation to faults, perceived lateness etc)
She needs physical space, moving away from friends e.g. if they sit on her side of the table.
She doesn't like anyone in her place at the table (e.g. if there are visitors).
Dd attaches herself to some older figures e.g. at church or sports club, staying physically very close, and not leaving their side at any point until very clear direction to do something else.
She needs to be first / best (hence the need to perform well for SALT) and she loves 1:1.
She takes instructions very litterally, and although I should know better with ds1 also ASD, sometimes I think I have told her to do something, and find she hasn't and she gets completely stressed
a) because she hasn't done what she was supposed to do
because I hadn't actually given her an explicit instruction (she can often say back the exact words I used - and mostly she is right!)
She gets very stressed if she isn't on time (particularly leaving for school, where she has to arrive first - so leaves the house at 8.35, so she can arrive at 8.45 (the earliest they are allowed to be in the playground) - anything later than this causes immense stress and she perceives she's late. However, she also struggles to be ready for a certain time for non school occasions, and we have a visual reminder of the morning routine at home. She often goes to get ready and I find her sitting in her pyjamas 10 minutes later.
We struggle with night time procrastination then not settling (often sleeping on our floor) and she is often the last person in the house to go to sleep between 10.30 and 11pm.
We are in a small village so she hasn't had to make friends, they have mostly grown up together and there is an element of tolerance and acceptance (have heard them say "that's just dd", and I know the is the case for other kids too). Her closest friend knows not to stress her out (i.e. where to sit, when to ignore her, and that dd might not choose to play the same game). I know a lot of these things happen anyway in the process of growing up and learning social norms, but I would appreciate any thoughts.
PS the emoji is supposed to be ( but the system is refusing to let me edit!
Very bizarre... it's not letting me type "b"

It's a party
Raise your hand if you're glad to see Monday done and over with... me, me, me! The week can only get better from here. At least that's what I'm hoping anyway.

I put the rest of the card together quickly too, with the help of this new Jenni Bowlin border punch... doesn't it look like party banners when cut like that? Simple, simple, simple. Now there are even more review preview inspirations to be found from my fellow team mates here and all of the new January stamps can be found in the ATS store.
Alrighty, I've really got to get a move on so I'll see ya in 24! :)

Pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD combines different treatments to:
Pulmonary rehabilitation—"rehab" for short— will not reverse the damage to your lungs from COPD. But it will help you do your daily tasks, such as dressing, grocery shopping, and walking, more easily.
There are many different kinds of pulmonary rehab programs. Some are done in the hospital. Some are done at home.1
Health professionals who may be involved with these programs include:
Pulmonary rehab is usually supervised and structured. This means that it will include evaluation of your symptoms and treatment, short-term and long-term goals, education, support, and supervised therapy programs.
Evaluation and goals
Your rehab team will look at your symptoms and current treatment to make sure that you can get the most out of the program. They also will identify other concerns, such as heart problems, that might affect your ability to exercise and to perform daily tasks.
Then you and your team will set short-term and long-term goals to meet your specific needs. For instance:
Understanding COPD—how it progresses and is best treated—makes it easier to live with and manage the disease. Rehab programs generally include education for both you and your family about:
Support and encouragement from friends, family, and your health team are crucial in helping you stay with your rehab plan.
Supervised therapy programs
Therapy programs are the heart of pulmonary rehab. They are created just for you, depending on your needs and goals.
Help to quit smoking
If you still smoke, stopping is the most important therapy program. Quitting smoking can slow damage to your lungs. Your rehab team can help you find the right program for quitting, whether it involves medicine, counselling, and/or support groups.
For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
Exercise training for COPD often includes aerobic exercise, such as walking or using a stationary bike, and muscle-strengthening exercises for your arms and legs.
Always talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program. People with COPD may also have heart problems that limit their exercise choices. You may need medical supervision when you start the program.
For more information, see:
Breath training
Breath training can help you take deeper breaths and reduce shortness of breath. You must practice breath training regularly for it to work.
Three basic breath-training methods are diaphragmatic breathing, pursed-lip breathing, and breathing while bending forward. They can be used to help you get through periods when you feel more short of breath.
Learning to eat well
Eating well is important to keep up your strength and health. Problems with muscle weakness and weight loss happen often in severe COPD. With COPD, people who are very underweight, especially those with emphysema, are likely to die sooner than people who are at a normal weight.2 For more information, see:
An ongoing pulmonary rehab program can help you function better over the long term. Each program should set short-term and long-term goals to help you keep track of changes and successes. This makes sure that the program continues to meet your needs.
Pulmonary rehab is recommended for people who have lung problems such as COPD.
Pulmonary rehab helps most people who have COPD. It especially helps those who use oxygen therapy and have often had to go to the emergency room or hospital.
A review of research shows that taking part in pulmonary rehabilitation:3, 1
To work well, a rehab program should last at least 4 weeks. The longer the program is, the better it works.2
The success of pulmonary rehab relies on the relationship between you and your health team. It is important that you work with your team, take an active role in the program, and understand the importance of staying with your program.
Although this treatment can improve your daily life, it does not reverse the effects that COPD has had on your lungs or other organs such as your heart. It does not cure COPD. It trains your mind, muscles, and heart to get the most out of damaged lungs.

Iron Butterfly bassist died of natural causes
SANTA ANA, California — Coroner's officials say Lee Dorman, bass guitarist for the 1960s psychedelic rock band Iron Butterfly, died of natural causes in Southern California and there won't be an autopsy.
A statement from the Orange County coroner's office says Dorman was under the care of a physician when the 70-year-old was found dead in his car Friday at his home in the coastal town of Laguna Niguel.
Authorities have said Dorman may have been on his way to a doctor's appointment when he died.
Iron Butterfly rose to prominence in the late 1960s. According to the band's website, its second album, "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," sold more than 30 million copies. The title track's distinctive notes have been featured in numerous films and TV shows.

|Twins | Jim Hoey to compete for bullpen spot
Mon, 13 Dec 2010 12:52:30 -0800
Minnesota Twins RP Jim Hoey, whose fastball sits in the mid-to-upper 90s, could become a valuable cog in the team's bullpen next season, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune's La Velle E. Neal III. "I feel like I'm 100 percent back to where I was in '06," said Hoey, who also throws a split-finger fastball and occasional slider. P Brett Jacobson, the other pitcher the team acquired from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for SS J.J. Hardy, could start the season at Double-A New Britain. Jacobson went 8-1 with a 2.79 ERA in 34 games with Single-A Frederick last year.

They can send almost anyone down but it is a matter of waivers. Who on the team does not need to clear? Volpatti, Kassian, Tanev and Schroeder. Not sure if thats 100% accurate. In the past MG has shown he has a fear of losing "assets" on waivers and has kept , IMHO, players less deserving because of that. If he holds to that pattern then he won't want to risk losing Ebbet or Weise, which would mean Volpatti and Schroeder are the likely choices. Remember Schroeder started the season in Chicago for that very reason.[/quote]
I hope that they don't send any of the current on-ice lineup down though, better to lose the extras in the press box first

Food stamp system restored after hours of disruption
UNDATED (AP) — Xerox says its electronic benefits system is up and running again in the 17 states where food stamp recipients use debit-style cards to access their accounts.
Glitches prevented the cards from being used in states including Ohio, Michigan, Texas and California. A Xerox spokeswoman says restarting the EBT system required time to ensure service was back "at full functionality." The problem was apparently triggered by maintenance procedures.
It meant shoppers were unable to acquire groceries. Shoppers left carts of groceries behind at a packed Market Basket grocery store in Biddeford, Maine.
An emergency voucher process was available in some of the areas while the problems were occurring,.
The government was quick to point out that the problems were not related to the government shutdown.

My dad and I were watching TV when a national retailer's commercial for a Veterans Day sale aired.
"I wonder what veterans think about businesses profiting by using their holiday?" I asked.
My dad, Jeff — who is president and director of marketing for Warners' Stellian — got really serious all of a sudden.
"Our family," he started with conviction, "Refuses to use a day intended to honor such an important group…to make a buck."
Indeed, several national retailers in trying to promote around Veterans Day used patriotic imagery in kind of a disgraceful way. How does a pretty girl running with a flag to call attention to a sale honor those who protect our country and put their lives on the line for us?
There are a lot of appropriate ways to honor a veteran. Do a good deed for one. Go to Fort Snelling, and visit the national cemetery. Volunteer at the VA hospital. Organize a tribute. Educate yourself on what Veterans Day really is.
Some businesses are giving away free meals to vets and perhaps others are donating notable proceeds to veteran-supporting causes — but most I've seen aren't.
We have enough retail promotion going on soon with the holidays. This is their day. And it should be honored appropriately.

Thursday night was grocery shopping night and the best night of the week.
Right after dinner, my father and I would board our 1972 Plymouth Fury station wagon and head to the Del Farm grocery store. It was located in a small plaza one mile from our suburban home.
Like all grocery stores then, Del Farm was a utilitarian place. There were no lobster tanks or gourmet food displays. The daily specials were written in black magic marker on torn sheets of white wax paper and taped to the front windows.
Inside, everything was painted white and illuminated by the bare florescent bulbs that hung above.
I got to push the cart as I helped my dad find the dozens of items on my mother's shopping list. The two watched their spending carefully, as my father was the sole breadwinner, but he'd usually give in a little.
On a good night, he'd buy a box of Del Farm's fresh-baked oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies and a bag of Snyders of Berlin potato chips and onion dip (my mother's favorite).
One Thursday a month, we'd stop at the beer distributor for a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon and 12 64 oz. bottles of Regent soda pop. The small store was packed with boxes of beer. The store's owner gave me a pretzel rod, then the subject shifted to sports, new car models and other things dads and beer distributor owners liked to talk about then.
Sometimes, my dad and I would make a run to the drug store or drive to the butcher's in another plaza to get a Sunday pot roast. On the way home, we'd stop in at the "little store" -- the privately owned convenience store in our neighborhood -- to load up on lunchmeat and cheese.
When we finally pulled the loaded-down station wagon into the garage, everyone in the house was alerted and the massive unloading process began. We usually got everything packed away by 8 p.m., just in time to head to the downstairs family room to watch "The Waltons."
The ritual was the same every week: We'd bring down a bowl of ice and then open some bottles of Regent soda pop, the orange being our favorite. (Grape was the next most popular, followed by cherry, then cola, then root beer.)
I was usually the first one to open the Snyders of Berlin chips. And as I tore open the heavy foil bag, my senses were overcome by the smell of freshly fried chips. I'd load them into a few bowls and set them on the tables.
And there sat my sisters and my parents, watching "The Waltons," eating the finest chips ever made, sipping our soda and feeling safe and secure.
It was Thursday, after all, and the weekend was soon to come. The house was loaded to the hilt with food, which was always a fine feeling. My mother and father were together and with us and all was right with the world.
I didn't know then how lucky I was to know such security. I didn't know that my happiness was a result of two people who put their children's needs so far before their own that we didn't know they had needs.
What a tremendous impediment we must have been to their comfort.
But I know it now. And I know how important my father was to my happiness and security.
Unlike too many fathers today -- unlike the bumbling idiots portrayed on television -- my father was firm. He was demanding of us, but that is what we craved. He wasn't much good at telling us he loved us, but he was a master at showing us his love through repeated actions.
I'm no expert on parenting or fatherhood, but at 50, I know this:
When I open a bag of Snyder of Berlin potato chips, I am filled again with the security and happiness that I felt so long ago because my mother and father were putting my needs first.

I always thought that black-holes condense energy into matter due to their immense gravity (enough to suck in light)...
Religions need books because they don't have gods.
Too late: http://whywontgodhealamputees.com/forums/index.php/topic,24886.0.html
Pair creation and annihilationSufficiently energetic gamma rays can interact with nuclei, electrons, or one another to produce electron-positron pairs, and electron-positron pairs can annihilate, producing gamma rays. From Einstein's equation E = mc^2, gamma rays must have more energy than the mass of the electron–positron pairs to produce these pairs.At the high densities of a stellar core, pair production and annihilation occur rapidly, thereby keeping gamma rays, electrons, and positrons in thermal equilibrium. The higher the temperature, the higher the gamma ray energies, and the larger the amount of energy transferred.Pair-instabilityAs temperatures and gamma ray energies increase, more and more gamma ray energy is absorbed in creating electron-positron pairs. This reduction in gamma ray energy density reduces the radiation pressure that supports the outer layers of the star. The star contracts, compressing and heating the core, thereby increasing the proportion of energy absorbed by pair creation. Pressure nonetheless increases, but in a pair-instability collapse, the increase in pressure is not enough to resist the increase in gravitational forces as the star becomes denser.
So, as a question, what is the deal with the "heat death of the universe".I get what it means, but is it true?
Hickdive The hadron collider might tell us how the universe works at higher energies and incidentally explain something about the first fraction of second after the Big Bang which is where research is now. Most of the matter in the universe is in the form of Dark Matter. The exact nature of this is unknown. It can be mapped and quantified by its gravitational effects.
The rip is based on the acceleration of the expansion of the universe. The properties of the new universes have only recently been worked out based on the discovery of the Higgs last year.
Yes. The type of universes which can exist, including our own, depend on the physical laws in that universe. As we investigate higher energies we can narrow the range of possibilities in our universe. We know from string theory that many types of universe can theoretically exist. We need to pin down the types which actually do exist and which one is our universe.
You might have heard religious people say that the fine tuning of our universe proves god. In fact the fine tuning is not much better than the worst it could be for life. It could be a lot better and more friendly to life.
Fascinating, Foxy. Can you recommend some layman-level sources for that? I'd love to read up on those discoveries.
There is a book and videos by Lawrence Krauss called a universe from nothing. This should lead onto other YouTube suggestions. Just make sure videos or books are by scientists. There are a lot of crackpot ideas around based on this subject.

Protests continue in Kuwait as emir reappoints PM
Hundreds of demonstrators in Kuwait took to the streets outside of the country's capital on Wednesday, for the third consecutive night of protests since last weekend's parliamentary elections.
In October Kuwait's emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, used emergency powers to change the electoral law, cutting the number of votes per citizen from four to one. He claimed his decree would fix a flawed system and ensure national unity.
Opposition activists, who boycotted Saturday's polls, say the change favours pro-government parties.
On Wednesday night protestors on the outskirts of Kuwait City set off fireworks and chanted: "One, one, one, we don't want one vote," Reuters reported.
The recent spate of protests go against the government's decision in October to enforce a ban on gatherings of more than 20 people, unless approved by the Interior Ministry.
Despite calls for political reform, earlier on Wednesday the emir reappointed Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Sabah as prime minister.
Sheikh Jaber submitted the resignation of his five-month-old cabinet on Monday, as required by constitution. He must now form a new government before parliament sits on 16 December.

Reviewed By James E (Branford, CT) Reviewed for a 2006 Audi A4 —1/23/2013 5:16 AM
I ordered this for my Audi A4 Avant in black, but I think I should have ordered the grey simply because all black is a little dark back there. I have one small problem which I will follow up on. The side panels are too high by about 1"-1 1/2" so lower velcro on the side panel runs down and over onto the cargo bottom section, and therefore doesn't attach, but floats because the velcro will not cling to the canvasback material. My guess is they sent A6 side panels by mistake. I LIKE IT!

27 November 2009|
When Clarion puts together a rolling audio showcase, they always nail two very important criteria on each and every build. The first, they have to produce stunning audio fidelity, clarity and frightening amounts of bass. The second item usually isn't a factor in most audio builds, but Clarion wants it to look as good as it sounds. No gimmicky subwoofers for steering wheels, no super flashy fiberglass everywhere and certainly no unsightly plexiglass windows. It has to be clean, simple, and functional and most of all… LOUD!
Such was the case with their latest build, a once practical Subaru WRX wagon. This is an all Clarion demo build and the mission was simple, take a 2004 Impreza WRX wagon and make it still daily drivable, but ensure it can make the ground shake with its modest audio install.
However the crazy Clarion crew had another idea in store for this subtle Subaru. The Clarion team of experts under lead installer Peter Johnson of Orange, CA started tearing up the interior and removing the once practical rear seats. All of the factory sound deadening was removed to make room for trusty Scosche Accumat …Everywhere! The dash is redesigned in a custom fiberglass version, painted to match flawlessly. The entire rear hatch area was commandeered to make way for the baddest artillery in Clarion's arsenal.
"We have a total of 12 subs in the hatch," smiles Mike Fukuda, a Clarion of America employee. "If you thought our impressive Clarion Canada-built Hyundai Tiburon demo car was loud, wait 'til you hear this!" As the volume went up, you feel your insides getting jolted around your body and swear you lost some sense of balance as the forceful sound pressure this thing generates is immense. The bass line comes from a grand total of 12 thumping Clarion PXW1252 subwoofers sunk into a custom fiberglass enclosure. The ported enclosure provides multitudes of tight, slamming bass from the polypropylene woofers rated at 1,000W of peak power. Six woofers are mounted along the vertical wall facing the front seat backs, then six additional woofers lurk behind it to pound sound waves out the port. The lows are driven out of six mono block Clarion DPX1151 amps that churn out 1,550W at 10hm, three of which are mounted visibly upon opening the rear hatch.
The mids and highs are produced by a total of eight component speakers. In the mid range are a pair of Clarion SRU1720M's which can handle 350W. These 6.75-inch speakers are found in the rear doors bombarding the occupants with a robust mid-range sound and striking highs. Mounted inside color matched fiberglass door inserts, these mids are powered with a single Clarion APX4361 680W 4-channel amp.
Four additional Clarion 5.25-inch components are powered by a pair of Clarion APX4361 680W 4-channel amps to reproduce the crisp, bright highs. These speakers and their related 1-inch dome tweeters are all wired up with crossovers found underneath the driver's seat. The entire system is connected with Scosche wiring, fuses and distribution blocks all lit up with four powerful Kinetik HC1400 batteries.
The source unit is a Clarion CZ509 Bluetooth headunit sunk into the factory single DIN location. Responsible for the sound reproduction, the sources of this unit include: CD-DA, CD-R, CD-RW, iPod and satellite radio. Although the unit does feature a 50Wx4 onboard amp, it isn't needed considering there is well over 10,000 watts of amplification onboard!
In terms of performance modifications, the investment has been minimal but noticeable. A Skunk2 stainless steel exhaust was added to improved sound and some extra ponies. The suspension was replaced with a more capable TEIN FLEX coilover with 9K springs all around to prevent any sagging. The wheels are 17x8-inch Enkei RPF1's wrapped in sticky high performance Toyo T1R 235/40R17 all around.
W felt the wrath of this Clarion system first-hand at CES 2009 in Las Vegas. After a severe beating inside the car at full volume, (at the suggestion of Clarion's resident prankster Kevin Kuenzie) he was seen wobbling around after stepping out with a big grin. "Every bass note feels like a Rick Flair wrestling slap to the chest," Pereira laughs. For the crew at Clarion, that's exactly the kind of testimonial they set out to achieve and the natural high their products are more than capable of marketing.

Building materials company USG Corp.'s interactive marketing program is supported by a strong foundation. Last year the company implemented a marketing automation and text messaging infrastructure so it could reach out to the architects and contractors that purchase and use its roofing, primers and plasters, among other things, said Lisa Schmitt-Collins, the company's manager-interactive marketing. In the past, USG had done email marketing, but it was mostly one-off messaging, she said. One of the first campaigns USG launched was an email campaign in support of its new Sheetrock UltraLightweight Gypsum panels. The company planned a road show in 16 cities to show off its new product and teach building and design professionals how to use it and how it differed from previous Sheetrock materials. It used its new marketing automation and email marketing program to invite people to the events; the goal was to draw customers and prospects to the events to learn more about the newest building materials. Previously, road show invitations were handled by a third party, Schmitt-Collins said. "We used an agency to create the emails and the promotions were smaller and didn't keep touching the invitees, so there were fewer opportunities for them to sign up," she said. Under the new program, messages went out to contractors and architects who had previously signed up to receive emails. The biggest change with this effort was that Schmitt-Collins was able to build out the campaign step-by-step by predicting potential behaviors—such as opening the email, clicking through to a website, and signing up for the road show—and using those scenarios to craft messages. "We were able to think about all the behaviors and create content to support them—if they opened the emails, if they opened but didn't register. We went through all the different scenarios and touch points and put out 17 different flows," she said. Previously, email campaigns were created in an ad hoc fashion, she said. "It was blast and go with no integration." As people interacted—or didn't—with the campaign, they received additional messaging throughout the signup time. The campaign resulted in 80% of those who registered attending the event. In addition, the company's new strategy of hyperfocused messaging has reduced the overall opt-out rate of new subscribers to less than 1%. "Yes, we have a very loyal customer base, but the email program definitely steps things up. They know we're giving them valuable information that they want to engage with," Schmitt-Collins said.

Ex-Timberlane Middle School teacher headed to state prisonBY JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
Union Leader Correspondent
November 23. 2012 7:02PM
BRENTWOOD - An ex-Timberlane middle school teacher is expected to be ordered to state prison for 2 to 4 years for possession of child pornography after losing a bid to have his 2011 conviction upended, Rockingham County Attorney James Reams said.
Scott Buatti, 45, had his conviction upheld after it was reviewed by a three-judge panel of the state Supreme Court, Reams said on Wednesday.
County prosecutors say they may now have to ask the judge who presided over Buatti's trial to impose the sentence.
Buatti was allowed to remain free on bail after a jury convicted him in Rockingham County Superior Court on 10 counts of possession of child pornography and 10 attempted possession of child pornography.
The former gym teacher taught at Timberlane Middle School for 19 years until his 2009 indictment prompted his resignation.
School officials later acknowledged they were told about the probe by federal investigators a year earlier, but allowed Buatti to stay in his job after a search of his school computer turned up no pornography.
An investigation by Immigrations Customs Enforcement dubbed 'Operation Flicker' tracked down 5,000 subscribers in the U.S. to child pornography web sites.
Buatti was first approached by investigators at his home on Feb. 25, 2008.
At trial, he denied ever viewing the pornography. But ICE agents testified that Buatti acknowledged he had looked and kept images of girls as young as 8 or 9 years old on his computer.
Judge Kenneth McHugh said he had no doubt that Buatti committed a crime once he chose to subscribe to web sites that contained child pornography and viewed the material.
Prosecutors had argued for a 5 to 10 year sentence for Buatti, saying that he never took responsibility for possessing child pornography. Buatti said when he was sentenced last year that he would, 'accept the eventual outcome of the legal process without reservation.'
It's unclear exactly when he will be required to report to state prison.
