Lance Armstrong finally admitted, to Oprah Winfrey, what many had alleged and believed: He took part in systematic use of performance-enhancing drugs during his unprecedented streak of seven victories in the Tour de France.
In the interview, which was recorded Monday and whose first part (of two) was shown Thursday night on the Oprah Winfrey Network, Armstrong admitted that he wished he had done many things differently, particularly fighting allegations by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that he cheated. It was a USADA report that led to his lifetime ban from cycling and the stripping of his titles.
"I'd do anything to go back to that day," he said of when USADA began its inquiry. "I wouldn't fight. I wouldn't sue 'em. I'd listen. I'd say, 'Guys, let me call my family, my sponsors, my organization, tell them what I've got to do, and I'll be right there.' I wish I had done that."

Armstrong admitted that he began doping in the mid-1990s, during what he called the EPO generation. He denied he pressured teammates into doping but admitted he could be conceived of as a bully because he was the team's No. 1 rider and led by example.

For the Love of Geraniums
house tour participant Kevin Beer sent us this thoughtful ode to his favourite springtime flower with a peek at what's blooming in his own backyard: Who says geraniums are for old ladies? Everywhere you go in the world you see geraniums. That's why I like them, they're common. They're hardy and easy to grow - the leggier the better. Scraggy and tall in clay pots, this is the universal look.
In some small way we are united by our gardens and in them, the very common geranium: red, pink, white, and versions in-between. So, when you are watering this lowest common denominator in the flower world, remember greats from Julius Caesar to Eleanor Roosevelt did the same.

The Phils stay in a tie for first as they win a wild one in Phoenix.
The Phillies stay tied for first place with the Marlins as they come from behind to defeat the Diamondbacks, 5-4. The D-backs would score first in the first inning as Stephen Drew singles in Augie Ojeda, who has earlier singled, making it 1-0 Arizona. The Phils would tie it in the third as Shane Victorino singles in Carlos Ruiz, who has earlier singled. The Diamondbacks would retake the lead in the fifth as Chris Young hits a solo shot off of Kyle Kendrick, his seventh of the season, making it 2-0 Arizona. Conor Jackson would increase the lead on a groundout as he knocks in Ojeda, who has gotten on base earlier with a triple. The Phils would tie the score again on a two-run home run by Pedro Feliz, his fifth of the season, knocking in Geoff Jenkins, who has earlier singled. The D-backs would retake the lead once again in their half of the seventh, as Jackson hits a double off of Kendrick's replacement, Ryan Madson, knocking in Eric Brynes, who has earlier singled and stole a base. The Phils would then tie the game again in the top of the eighth as Eric Bruntlett hits a double off of Chad Qualls, who was pitching in relief of D-backs' starter, Micah Owings, scoring Victorino, who has earlier reached base via a strikeout-passball. The Phils then took the lead for the first time as Chase Utley singles in Bruntlett. After Tom Gordon keep the D-backs off the scoreboard in the bottom of the eighth, Brad Lidge would come in to pitch the ninth, pitching a 1-2-3 inning.
The Phils' starter, Kendrick, would pitch his second no-decision in a row, going six innings, giving up three earned runs on ten hits. Madson would pitch one-third of an inning, giving up an earned run on two hits. J.C. Romero, the game winner, would go two-thirds of an inning, giving up no runs on no hits, as his record goes to 3-0 and his ERA drops to 0.63. Gordon would pitch one inning, giving up no runs on one hit. And Lidge would also go one inning, giving up no runs on no hits as he records his eighth save of the season. The Diamondbacks' starter, Micah Owings would also record a no-decision as he goes seven innings, giving up three earned runs on four hits. Chad Qualls would take the lost, as he pitches two-thirds of an inning, giving up two runs, one of which was earned, on two hits, as his record drops to 0-3 and his ERA climbs to 0.93. Juan Cruz pitched one-third of an inning, giving up no runs on no hits. Brandon Medders would pitch one inning for Arizona, giving up no runs on one hit.
The final game of the Phils' trip to Phoenix will be played at Chase Field at 3:40 pm Eastern (12:40 Pacific). The Phils' starter will be Brett Myers (2-2, 4.70), who will be trying to continue against the Diamondbacks what he had recently done against the Giants. The D-backs will counter with Brandon Webb (7-0, 2.49), who will be looking for his eighth victory of the year as he pitched the D-backs to victory over the Mets on May 3, 10-4. The Phils will then go to San Francisco to continue their road trip with a three-games series against the Giants at AT&T Park. As the Phillies go to San Francisco, Jimmy Rollins should be reactivated from the disabled list.
With the win, the Phillies (20-15) are still tied for first place with the Marlins, who are leading the Phils now by .005 percentage points, as the fish defeated the Brewers at home. The Phils and the Marlins are both still leading the third place Mets and Braves by 1.5 games, as both teams have also won their games.

Four 99%-100% Chocolate
Before I took on this challenge of the all-chocolate chocolate bars, I did take a test to find out if I'm a "supertaster". People are divided into three categories: nontasters, regular tasters and supertasters.
Our tongues can detect five tastes: sweet, salt, bitter, sour & umami (savory). Nontasters (about 25% of the population) tend to enjoy more intensely flavor things such as super sours and liberally salted products, enjoy fatty & sweet foods while regular tasters (50%) shy away from intensity but sample liberally from all the major tastes & textures equally. Supertasters (25%) dislike stronger bitter & sour things and even high fat content foods. There are all sorts of scientific studies about evolution and how each of these types can be beneficial or detrimental to your ultimate longevity ... or enjoyment of that long life.
Although I have a very keen sense of smell, I am a regular taster. (I like coffee, super sours, broccoli & used to drink pickle juice - though I really like chocolate & cheese, I'm not that keen on other types of fatty foods.) So I figured I might be a good candidate for appreciating the more authentic tastes of the purest chocolate.
Dagoba makes one of the few 100% chocolate bars and the only one that I could find that was organic. It's called Prima Materia which means, literally, prime matter. It's usually used to refer to alchemical ideas about the base matter that makes up the universe, that all matter can be changed back into and then reformed. Kind of like stem cells are for living creatures.
In this case, this is the essential chocolate - just beans from Madagascar, ground up and made into a bar.
At only $2.75 retail, it was about the same price as a baking bar (though smaller of course). I got this one as a sample at the Fancy Food Show in January.
The Prima Materia is a dark looking bar, nicely glossy with a solid snap.
The melt on this was a little sticky, I can't really explain it. Whatever it is, it's not terribly dry. The melt lets the flavors come out slowly. I taste a bit of cherries and raspberry at the very start, but once it melts a bit more it's all about the dark mulch of the forest floor.
There's a light yeasty note in there that reminds me of dark beer. The bitterness is noticeable, but not enough to keep me from eating more pieces. By far this is the most edible of the bars I tried. I wouldn't say that I'll be eating a lot of it, but with some almonds or cashews nearby, it's an acceptable form of entertainment for a while.
It really doesn't take much to satisfy my chocolate craving either. (Of course then I start craving something else, like a glass of water & some sweet caramels.)
2 ounces - 185 calories per ounce - Kosher
After Christmas this bar, Ghirardelli 100% Cacao Unsweetened Chocolate, was on sale for only $1.25, and found in with the baking products, I thought I'd throw it into the mix as a way to see if I was just being overly picky about what eating chocolate is in the first place (besides a fancy way to charge two or three times as much as chocolate chips).
The wrapper is very simple, but still quite compelling. The bar is large and flat, a little larger than the regular bars in the candy aisle, in this case it's 4 ounces instead of 3.17 of the current Intense Dark line.
To their credit, Ghirardelli is clear that this is a baking bar. So this is an off-label application of the confection.
As lovely as it was, and it is a lovely bar, nicely tempered, perhaps a bit stiff but a deep red-brown, they are correct in not promoting this as an eating bar.
The smell was quite woodsy, like cedar and a bit grassy. It tastes like olives and asparagus. Bitter, moisture-sucking, mulchy and green.
Looking at the nutrition label it's easy to see why this is so chalky, it has less fat than the Prima Materia, a whopping 40 calories per ounce less fat. (Have i mentioned lately that I love cacao fat ... sometimes I wonder what it'd be like if donuts were made by frying them in cocoa butter.)
4 ounces - 145 calories per ounce - Kosher
Meiji Chocolate Kolika Caca 99% Ita has a very short, but less "pure" list of ingredients: cacao, cocoa powder, soy lecithin & artificial flavor. (I'm guessing that's vanillin.)
Meiji is a good consumer brand in Japan. They make all sorts of candy, not just chocolate products. (My favorites are their Gummy Choco and Chelsea.)
It's a pretty bar with 15 nicely shaped scored pieces. The package is also good, an easy to open paperboard box that fits back together pretty well to hold the leftovers (and there's gonna be leftovers, who eats the whole thing?). I was encouraged that it had a pretty high fat content, too.
The bar wasn't expensive ($1.99), which is probably a pretty good indication of what I should expect for a chocolate without any sugar. The scent is of the dark roasted cocoa flavors, a bit of charcoal. There's a very abrupt high-note of the vanilla flavoring in there as well.
On the tongue it melts pretty nicely, but it's quite bitter and dry. Keeping it further back on the tongue seems to help to recognize the other flavors that included a bit of a yeasty note of baking bread, wood smoke and burnt sugar.
I should note, in case you haven't noticed so far, these are not low-calorie bars. In fact, this "sugarless chocolate" is some of the highest caloric density reviews I've ever done. (It's the cocoa butter.)
But note that chocolate has a good amount of iron (10%), and about 3 grams of protein per ounce and 4 grams of fiber per ounce. That doesn't even go into the positive effects that all those antioxidants have for your heart and circulatory system.
1.58 ounces - 161 calories per ounce (contains soy lecithin & artificial flavors)
My passion for this bar can hardly be contained. The happiest part of this whole experience is that I know that once I'm done writing this, I don't have to eat this bar any longer.
I was so excited when I bought the Chocolat Bonnat 100% Cacao. I've never had Bonnat before, the only experience I have with it is reading this exhaustive series at DallasFood.org about Noka and seeing the bars at several upscale stores. At $8 a bar (granted it is a big bar at 100 grams), I was hoping for some sort of miracle. I've come to realize there's a reason that chocolate with sugar is so widely available ... it's just better that way.
The wrapper, I admit, is lovely. The regular Bonnat bars have white wrappers with similar lettering, but the 100% gets the special brick red treatment, which should be a good indication that you should stop and think about it. 100% Cacao. No sugar, not even lecithin or vanilla. Stop. Hazard. Danger.
The bar was wonderfully tempered. (As wonderfully tempered as I was ill tempered when I was done.)
When I first unwrapped it, it smelled strongly of green olives. Later when I tasted it, I kept getting the strong, puckering flavor of green olives, grassy matcha and artichokes. These are all good things as far as vegetables go, but I don't like them together and I don't like them as the primary notes in my chocolate.
Here's the thing, I hear my flavors. Well, not quite hear ... they have wavelengths in my head (and kind of colors that go along with them). Flavors create vibrations. And different kinds of flavor combinations create different combinations of these vibrations & wavelengths. It's called synesthesia and many people have it to some degree.
So when I talk about things being harmonious, it's not just a metaphor, it's an actual description of my experience. In this case the bar was screechy. It was unripe, unrehearsed, stuttery, weak and tinny.
I've had the bar for a couple of months and have unwrapped it a few times to see if it was just that I'd had the flu, the lights in the house were at the wrong level, the moon was in the wrong phase or was in a bad mood. No, this is like Phillip Glass & Stephen Sondheim collaborating on some sort of atonal opera about database programmers performed by deaf alley cats in a poorly ventilated auditorium with squeaky chairs that pinch. It's probably a wonderful intellectual experiment, but it's not an enjoyable physical one. (But again, this may be an experience colored by the way that my brain processed certain things and might be just glorious to folks who don't get the cacophony of wavelengths.)
3.53 ounces - unknown calories
The best news is that I have a deeper appreciation of my blended chocolates now and single origins even more so. As far as pure chocolate as being a "sugarless" alternative to regular sweetened chocolate, I think a very small quantity of sweetened chocolate will be more satisfying than a larger portion of one of these. But your mileage may vary. I definitely recommend the Dagoba if you're itching to try just one. (The fact that it has a reasonable price is also a selling point.)
All of the remaining bits of these bars will be taken next door to the neighbors this evening where I will donate them to Amy in the hopes that she'll create some awesome and rich brownies out of them so that I may love this chocolate again.
Casey at Chocolate Note has far more appreciation for the most concentrated chocolate bars. For other deeper appreciations for these bars try the Seventy Percent for: Michel Cluizel Noir Infini & forum discussion about Bonnat & Cluizel.

Big Candy Buyouts - Hershey & Jelly Belly
Today there was news of TWO candy companies swallowing up others:
Jelly Belly has released word that they're buying Ben Meyerson Candies based right here in Los Angeles. Ben Meyerson is known for their Big Cherry and line of Sunkist Fruit Gems. The manufacture of the Fruit Gems seems like a natural fit for Jelly Belly and facilities will migrate to Fairfield and/or Illinois. Ben Meyerson is a third generation family company and seems to be selling as Robert Meyerson, the current head, is retiring. Link to full story.
Hershey also announced today that it's buying Dagoba, the Ashland, Oregon based chocolate company. This is the third small chocolate company Hershey has bought in the last 18 months (Joseph Schmidt and Scharffen Berger are the other two). No word in the articles I read as to whether Dagoba will fall under the Artisanal Chocolates umbrella that was formed to encompass JS & SB. Hershey has been making great strides towards more responsible cocoa growing, with their sponsorship of educational and outreach programs, especially in Africa. Hopefully their purchase of Dagoba will enable them to make Hershey the largest ethical chocolate company in the world (a girl can dream). Link to story.

Dagoba Single Origin
All the upscale chocolate bar makers are doing single origin bars lately. I was pretty excited about the Dagoba bars, because they're organic and they're ethically traded (some is Fair Trade Certified). I've enjoyed Dagoba chocolate in the past and my only complaint really has been that they're skimpy on the inclusions when they feature nuts or fruit.
I've not seen this array of tasting squares in stores, so I ordered it online.
The assortment contains four each of the Pacuare and Los Rios, and only two of the Milagros. The little tasting squares are 9 grams each and have the same design on them - a set of crossing lines and then a little V with some leaves, which I'm guessing signifies varietal.
Pacuare - Costa Rican Trinitario (68%) - lovely medium chocolate brown tones with a good snap and instant melt on the tongue. Strong smoky & toasted notes and tart bite. There are some interesting charcoal elements with a little bit of a pepper burn right before the finish. The acidity is only noticeable at the start and it finishes quite sweet.
Los Rios - Ecuador Arriba (68%) - dark and lustrous. Immediate coffee notes with a good buttery melt. Rather Sweet and not too acidic but a strongly dry finish. The oddest flavor note I found in this bar (consistently across several of the squares) was an olive note. I thought I was nuts at first but with four bars to try, I noticed it on two of them.
Milagros - Peruvian Amazonia (68%) - wonderfully buttery with some notes of cinnamon and raisin. A nice dry finish with a little tart, acidic bite. The smoothest of the bunch. (This variety is certified Fair Trade.)
Overall the buttery quality and smoothness of the chocolate shines on these. Not at all chalky, they are a bit on the sweet side. I wouldn't be adverse to seeing these bumped up to 70% cacao and just reduce the sugar not the cocoa butter.
The texture and taste on these feels much more accessible than some of the Scharffen Berger, Chocovic or E. Guittard. I haven't done a head to head mixing brands yet, but maybe someday.
The tasting squares option is expensive, but you can get the larger bar assortment if you're not looking to share.
Note: Dagoba did recall some of their chocolate recently due to lead content and the Los Rios 68% part of the single origins line was part of the recall. It appears that the lead contamination happened somewhere in the supply chain (the cacao), not in the manufacturing. Los Rios is not available yet (as far as I've seen) but the other affected lines like Eclipse are just getting back on shelves now.

Dagoba Hazelnut
I was searching for this bar for a while. I've only tried one other milk chocolate bar from Dagoba (the Chai), so I was curious to see what their plain milk chocolate was like without all the other embellishments. But I think that milk chocolate shines well with some textured interest like nuts, so this was next on my list of bars to try. However, I didn't see it at Whole Foods or Wild Oats. This bar was given to me by Amy, the neighbor.
This bar is milk chocolate (high cocoa solids content at 37%) with hazelnuts and crisped rice.
The Dagoba milk chocolate is insanely smooth. It's very milky and has a slight floral note to it, maybe orange blossom, but it's not soapy. It is, however, very sweet. The dairy part of the milk chocolate is a little sticky and tastes like powdered milk, though much better than a Cadbury. The crisps in the bar are fun, but few and far between. I counted three or four per "stick" of the bar. I'm not asking for them to be as dense as a Nestle Crunch, but a little more frequent would be nice. The hazelnuts were similarly scarce, though I think they imparted some of their nutty flavor to the rest of the bar nicely.
I think I wanted more nuts, or maybe something a little more from such an expensive bar. Don't get me wrong, I love many of the other bars I've tried (Roseberry) but this one didn't quite sing for me. It's still a solid performer and I wouldn't turn it down if someone offered it to me, but I doubt I'll buy it again.

Dagoba Dark Bars
Name: Roseberry, Lavender and Xocolatl
I know it seems strange that I got this on the same trip as the dismal SunDrops, but it's true. I tried the Dagoba Chai bar last spring and really enjoyed it. That was a milk chocolate bar and I was very interested in the more botanical and spice flavored bars, but alas, Whole Foods does not seem to carry them. So, the trip to Wild Oats was most fortunate in the end. All the bars contain 59% cocoa mass chocolate. It's extra smooth and very buttery. The chocolate itself isn't too sweet and is a nice backdrop for the flavor additions.
Roseberry - Dark Chocolate, Raspberries & Rosehips. 59% cocoa mass chocolate. This was not one of the bars I was most interested in, but the concept of rosehips was rather intriguing. I used to try to eat rose hips when I was a kid because I'd heard they were good for you. Though they didn't really taste very good. This bar has a wonderful fruity and flowery aroma. The raspberries provide a dash of zesty flavor. However, I found the raspberry seeds incredibly annoying. They're big and when chewing or dissolving such a smooth bar, a big seed was a rather unpleasant finding.
Lavender - Dark Chocolate, Lavender & Blueberries. 59% cocoa mass chocolate. I've heard of a few lavender infused chocolates and even tried the New Tree Tranquility bar (which was milk chocolate) and still believed that there would be a better lavender chocolate bar out there. Well, this might be it. I was a little leary of the blueberries in the mix as I thought maybe they'd give the chocolate too much of a fruit punch flavor. Of the three I tried, this was by far my favorite. Where the Roseberry has gritty things in it, this bar is smooth through and through, with little chewy bits of blueberries. The lavender gives the bar a soft essence, a lingering top note that doesn't overpower the smokey and woodsy flavors of the chocolate itself. Not sticky sweet or cloying, it's just an incredibly pleasant bar with a good, slightly dry finish.
Xocalatl - dark chocolate, chilies & nibs. 74% cocoa mass chocolate. The darkest of the three bars, this one was much more chocolatey. Not quite as buttery, it still melted quickly and had a very nice flowery note at first, like orange blossoms. That quickly gives way to a peppery heat that sizzles on the tongue as the buttery chocolate melts away and brings out some very woodsy, earthy tones. The finish is slightly dry with some lingering plum notes and of course the warm burn in the throat. The most interesting part of this bar is that it contains no cinnamon. Most of the other "spicy" chocolate bars I've tried have cinnamon (and sometimes cloves) in them. What's cool about this one is that it's all New World spices (okay, maybe that's not true ... seems there's some nutmeg in there).
I am completely in love with Dagoba now and I want to try everything of theirs. However, at $2.79 for a 2 ounce bar, it's freaking pricey stuff and I don't plan on buying much of it anytime soon. I'm curious about their single origin line and there are still about 20 bars that I haven't tried yet. Maybe I'll splurge via mailorder on one of their tasting kits except for the fact that it's more expensive on their website than in stores. Sigh. I need a corporate sponsor.

Dagoba Chai
Name: Dagoba Chai
There was a small selection of these organic bars at Whole Foods. Some are single origin and some are flavored, like this one. Basically I see chocolate in two different ways, some chocolate is for snacking and some is for savoring. It expected this to be savoring chocolate, however, I found it to be extremely snackable.
The Chai bar is milk chocolate with chai spices and ginger. Opening the package I found the spicy aroma quite evident. Not overly any particular spice, it smelled more like a spice cupboard. A little like pumpkin pie, actually.
On the tongue the chocolate melts easily and is immediately sweet. The mix of flavor is not intense but really a great compliment.
I plan on buying some more Dagoba chocolate again. I think I'll try their tasting squares.
Rating: 8 out of 10.
PS - One of the problems with this candy is that every time I hear the name or see it or type it, it reminds me of the Weird Al song called Yoda (to the tune of the Kinks' Lola). It starts with the line, "I met him in a swamp down in Dagoba."

To report an emergency in progress, call 911.
Children under the age of 6 are at greatest risk for lead exposure because they are growing so rapidly and because they tend to put their hands and other objects, which may be contaminated, into their mouths. Lead poisoning can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and, at very high levels, seizures, coma, and even death.
Lead poisoning is entirely preventable. There are many ways parents can reduce a child's exposure to lead. Lead hazards in a child's environment must be identified and controlled or removed safely.
Lead-based paint and lead contaminated dust are the most hazardous sources of lead for children. Other sources of lead exposure include:
Lead-based paints were banned for use in housing in 1978. All houses built before 1978 are likely to contain some lead-based paint. It is important to determine the construction year of the house or the dwelling where your child spends a large amount of time (e.g., grandparents or daycare). In housing built before 1978, assume that the paint has lead unless tests show otherwise.

We've seen the Transformer Prime in a flashy teaser trailer and under the harsh lights of a stage, but until now we hadn't gotten a chance to see what the Transformer Prime looks like at home with its
hair dock down.
No new revelations from these images, but the keyboard dock continues to look fantastic to me. The design takes some cues from the new ASUS Zenbook, although the two tone keyboard inevitably draws some comparisons to the Macbook line. Regardless of the aesthetics, it looks like it'll be a pleasure to type on. And ASUS has definitely given more thought to creating a device that can bridge the gap between a tablet and a netbook/laptop than any of the other manufacturers thus far.
Of course the headlining feature of the Transformer Prime is the Kal-El (aka Tegra 3) processor and its five cores. In case you'd forgotten, those sneaky NVIDIAns crammed a fifth core (which we've lovingly dubbed "NinjaCore") in their quad-core processor. That means we don't only get the crazy fast performance offered by a quad-core tablet, but there's also a fifth core to handle light duties when you aren't making Kal-El flex his yellow Sun enhanced muscles.
It's this quad-core +1 architecture that allows ASUS to stretch the quoted battery life on the Transformer Prime to an insane 14.5 hours. If the new dock offers a similar battery boost to the original, that will mean over 20 hours of total use with the tablet and dock until you need to go hunting for an outlet.
One of the few pieces of information we're still missing for the Transformer Prime is an actual release date. The official announcement is coming November 9, and it would surprise me if ASUS didn't get this to market before the end of November.
How many of you are considering the Transformer Prime? I'd also be interested to know whether you're planning to get the dock or if you only have eyes for the tablet.

text: 2016 Marvin's Bio:I was born in Brooklyn. Don't know much about it since I lived most of my life here on Staten Island. The people on Staten Island are friendly but very cautious and on edge. This is due to traffic issues and stress related to traffic issues. People here don't have much time in their day to do things and when they do they end up behind a S.M.V. Slow Moving Vehicle.I attend the usual public schools. I attended college. I was awarded a degree in Communications.I am a Digital Artist. Its more of a hobby than a job. I create all kinds of classic and modern art. I say its a hobby because I have never been able to make any money off of it. I create my digital art because i find it relaxing and I find it interesting. Each piece I create inspires me to create more art. You could call it the curiosity of discovery. What will the next piece look like?I am disabled. I don't like to talk about it because people don't understand mental issues. Sure, I look and act just fine but that's the medicine talking.1997-2010 I worked as a cashier for a number of years at different retail stores. My mom says that everybody loved me there. I felt otherwise. I guess over time people's views soften of you. I was married. 2006-2008. I moved to PA and then back here again after a very friendly divorce. It could have been a disaster.I have a 9 year old son. Wonderful kid. Since 2011 I've lived permanently here on SI.. My life is simple. I try to live a very quiet life. I work on my art during the days I am not helping my dad. Some days I go to parks or walk along neighborhoods looking for the odd statue or sculpture that would make an interesting photo to turn into art. It may not seem like it but I do like living here on Staten Island. People are just stressed here. I try not to make them more stressed.I never had the urge to live anywhere else but here on SI. I moved to PA because my fiance at the time wanted to move there with her family. I liked it there for a little while until I realized it had the same problems SI had. Traffic, Stressed out people, and a hard time finding good paying jobs without commuting either to Phili or NYC. I lived on and off between SI and NJ for a time for employment and family reasons.But I am really not the kind of guy who likes to travel. I am more of a home body. I like to just look at the world through other people's eyes. Either through the Internet or TV.I am also experimenting with ways to convert my art into new art. Waste not, want not, right? Well, that's a bit about me. Take care.

Pravda wrote:Ratcheting up the pace in the last lap or so would seem like better use of your energy than trying to ride off the front with a few laps to go.
Ratcheting up the pace in the last lap has a higher probability of towing strong sprinters to the last 150 metres in a fresher state.
There's also more randomness in the last lap and bunch sprint - you can get blocked by front and side riders, others can veer dangerously, etc.
A strong endurance/weak sprint rider will rarely win in a bunch sprint.
He has a higher probability of winning by making a break stick. Whether that requires a 3,5,7,10, 20 minute break with 1,2,3,4 guys is partial to systematic inductive investigation, the scientific method.

At approximately 2:30 Thursday afternoon, a heater that heats the hallway in the Mancos middle school malfunctioned and caused a small explosion. The smell of gas was apparent so Atmos Energy was called. As a precaution, the Mancos Fire Department was called as well.
"It just smoked up the place," said Heath Showalter, Dean of Students. "Nothing was damaged - not the furnace, not the school, not even the hallway."
The middle school kids were evacuated from the west wing and the elementary and high school buildings were put on lock down for a short time.
As of Friday morning, the gas had been turned off pending repair of the heater. Luckily, the weather was not as cold as it has been and the students are keeping warm with the aid of space heaters.
"The safety of the kids was our main goal," said Showalter. "Their response was really good."
They hope to get the gas turned on by the end of Friday.

One hundred years ago, fewer than 18,000 people lived in the city of San Diego. Fewer than 40,000 lived in the county, which then was twice its current area. The San Diego Union was one of four daily papers reporting on the news from here and afar. During the month of January 1901, most issues of the Union were eight to ten pages. Illustrations (except for those in advertisements) were rare. A typical front page might contain between 16 and 20 stories. If you had combed through the paper that month, here are a few of the items that might have caught your eye….
- Tuesday, January 1, 1901
- Page Three
The Opening of a New Century — How Midnight Was Waited for by the People of San Diego
There were more eyes open last night when the old year gave way to the new and the twentieth century supplanted the nineteenth than had been closed in sleep… [T]he streets were almost as well filled with people at 12:30 this morning as they were at that hour yesterday afternoon. Street cars were held until nearly 1 o'clock at the corner of Fifth and D streets before starting on their final trip to the outer ends of their runs….
- Page Four
- To Eastern People [editorial]
The Los Angeles Times has just issued a special edition designed to show the resources and development of the county in which it is published. The work as a whole is commendable. Unfortunately the proprietor of that paper was unable to restrain his chronic hatred of San Diego. So in the map which he publishes showing the field of the Pacific commerce, San Diego is carefully eliminated, and Los Angeles, a city twenty miles in the interior, is moved down to the coast and made to appear a port of Southern California, the deception being heightened by various devices representing purely imaginary steamer lines from that fictitious entrepot of commerce.
This is a pretty small business, but it is not the Times' first offense. It did the same trick a year ago, and then tried to crawl out by pleading "inadvertence" in the "art department."…
The attempt of the Times to make Los Angeles pose as a seaport is simply an imprudent effort to deceive eastern people.
- Page Ten
- Small Police Force
The [San Diego] police force is thought to be the smallest in America for a city of [this] size…. There are only twelve men on the force, or one for nearly every 1,500 people. The officers serve on shifts of eight hours each, making only four men on duty at one time…. As the morals of San Diego are not bad and the city is comparatively free from crime, the small force experiences no difficulty in maintaining law and order….
- Page Twenty
- Vast Oil Fields in This County
Immense possibilities in the oil industry are believed to exist in San Diego county, and it is the general opinion that there will be an unprecedented development in this particular in the near future. It was the hope and the expectation that one of the half dozen companies boring for oil would strike a gusher before the end of the year, but it appears that the century won the race…. Boring is in progress in different sections of the county and preparations are being made for starting more drills, so encouraging are the indications…. It is believed that a new era is in store for San Diego and that the oil industry will make things hum here….

- Two Crowded Houses
Twice packed to the doors in a single day is something of a new record for the Fisher theater, which was made yesterday by the "Way Down East" company with Beryl Hope playing the part of Annie Moore and Robert Fisher the part of the New England squire.
The play had been well advertised, and it was the opinion of most of the large audience…that it came up to the most flattering of the advance notices given, though some were found to declare that Miss Hope would make a better appearance on the stage if she permitted her head to rest naturally on her shoulders instead of crowding it forward in a manner which must be as uncomfortable to her as it seemed to be to the average member of the audience. There were others who thought the love-making of David a little too enthusiastic for real life….
[Untitled Editorial Note]
It will be a blessed relief for all to remember that the discussion of the question as to when a new century actually begins will not be revived during the lifetime of many people now living.
Page Five
Details of Double Crime
Additional details concerning the shooting and hanging at San Felipe the day after Christmas were received by the Union yesterday from its Mesa Grande correspondent. Ygnacio Segundo was the name of the Indian shot, his assailant being Cervantes Chipole, who afterward hung himself to an oak tree.
Ygnacio was assaulted about 2 o'clock in the afternoon while returning from the San Felipe Christmas fiesta…. He was followed by another Indian whose face he did not see, and was shot twice with a shotgun — once in the back and again in the side of the head and face. He fell senseless from his horse…. [As Chipole] considerately betook himself to the hunting grounds for bad Indians shortly after his target practice, full particulars and motives are wanting.
Ygnacio still lies in a very precarious condition [and] says that he had no quarrel with Cervantes at all, and on the contrary was on good terms with him and knows no cause for the shooting.

Ramon Romero pleaded guilty in police court yesterday to the charge of battering Clemente Perales, and was fined $5.

Topic: Talks of Indy 5: Is Lucas Insane?
That is all.
I am a Role Playing Gamer, like my father before me.
Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → Film and Television → Talks of Indy 5: Is Lucas Insane?
That is all.
As in replace Indy??? would that even be an indiana jones movie?
It'll never happen. I was expecting this pretty much since I saw whatshisname. If they wanted to let some new kid take charge of the series and continue it, as in a sort of new young Indy-type person with their own series, they should have chosen a different actor. Cause this choice sucks.
And if you click the foxnews article icon at the bottom there, I kinda like the part where it says no one wanted Clone Wars, and that's why Warner has it is cause Fox rejected it, hehe. I always said any new tv series would destroy SW.
It'll never happen.
Dont be so sure...
Here are Ford's and LeBeouf's reactions to Lucas' comment.
http://www.theraider.net/news/fullstory … php?id=804
Well we all know that Lucas just doesn't know when to quit
Well, yeah, sure, it can happen. Or they can try anyway. But who really likes this kid? Not I. I mean, he's OK in some movies. But he's a bit too pretty to be an Indy wannabe. Unless he grows up and gets the hard "Yeah, I've seen some bad things in my life, but I'm alright" look that the REAL Indy has... well then he's just some kid in a costume pretending to be all tough. Not to mention he's not even remotely cute, and wasn't that part of Indiana Jones was that he was hot? A small part of it, maybe, but it's still true.
I am not against Ford coming back as an 80-year-old Indiana. I'm against Shia.
Not to mention the horrible name they gave him. Mutt? Mutt!?! *facepalm* That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. I get the joke. We all get the joke. Ha ha. Indy was named after George's dog. We know. But do we have to give the rip-off a name that is almost the exact same thing!?
I'm not saying he'll be horrible. I think he will be. But that doesn't mean I'll be right. If I'm wrong, sure, I'll apologize. And I'll still be watching the movie on opening day, eager and in anticipation. I even built my husband an Indy costume for the release. I just think they should have gotten a better actor to play the new kid.
Edit: I'm sorry for being mean. I had a tooth pulled the other day and it hurts to eat on that side and I'm trying to eat right now and food keeps shifting over there and hurting which is making me irritable. But a lot of what I said still stands I think.
I don't think Shia is necessarilly a bad actor, but he would be bad for that role, I think.
Mr. T should be the next Indiana Jones, he would be looking for more treasure to put around his neck .
It would be easyier to except him as an Indy replacement if he was his son. But if he's not... It'd be like Scorpian king and the mummy, sequals and prequals of eachother. But not really having anything to do with eachother.
...i love shia dearly but NO! NO ONE replaces indy!!!!
...i love shia dearly but NO! NO ONE replaces indy!!!!
Agreed. Lucas needs a smack to the head. Maybe then he will wake up and stop ruining the great things he has brought into the world.
Well main problem is IT WOULDNT BE INDIANA JONES AND THE (insert rest of name here)
My thoughts exactly, Adeptus.
Mutt Williams and the Search for More Money
A fifth Indy film would work but only with Harrison ford as the main actor.
Nobody can play the role Harrison did, nobody.
Its the way he plays his parts.
You can't replace him in Star Wars.
You can't replace him in Indy movies.
It just can't be done.
I just got back from seeing the movie. I am sorry I said what I said. Mutt was actually kinda cool.
Mutt Williams and the Search for More Money
LOL...wow i needed that
Mutt Williams and the Search for More Money
Mutt Williams and the Search for a Better Movie
((not saying anything about Indy 4 there, it was awesome))
I hope I can see it soon!

We say " a lot of guests" or "a lot of the guests" and please tell me why?
"a lot of guests" is one complete idea. It's the same as "many dogs" or "a few cats". It's a simple sentence that places emphasis on the amount or quantity of the subject. (Guests, in this case).Originally Posted by Snow Lau
"a lot of the guests" is an incomplete thought and requires something else to make sense. A lot of the guests .. what? You could say a lot of the guests left, a lot of the guests are wearing ties, etc. This sentence is no longer placing emphasis on the amount of quantity of the subject, but rather on what the subject(s) is(are) doing.

Twitter Flies Advertiser API
Feb 21, 2013 2:44 PM PT
Twitter launched an API for advertisers Wednesday, a move designed to help the social network boost revenues to better compete with its Internet ad competitors.
The company has had an ad structure in place since 2010, when it launched its Promoted Tweets program, which allows advertisers to push 140-character ads on user feeds. The time is right, however, for a more complete system, said Twitter, so it launched an API that the company claims will increase the quality of ads on the network.
Twitter has been testing the program since January with five beta partners: Adobe, HootSuite, Salesforce, SHIFT and TBG Digital. Those companies have rolled out the feature with some of their clients.
The new system will allow social media managers and advertising professionals to bypass the technical challenges of putting together an ad campaign and focus more on their messaging.
Targeted Tweets
With more detailed analytic information and greater ease in targeting different demographics, the API will also help advertisers push forward content that is more relevant and engaging. That lessens the risk of Twitter users becoming disenchanted with a constant flow of ads that they don't find interesting.
It also makes it easier for social media managers to promote real-time ad content. That's a big bonus for a network like Twitter, which consumers often turn to for social commentary during major events like the Super Bowl or the Academy Awards.
The change could be especially beneficial for large corporations that must manage tweets in all or most of Twitter's 33 supported languages or are hoping to capture the attention of a wide variety of audiences. With so many online advertising opportunities available, anything Twitter can do to make the process easier for its ad partners can be a huge win for the company, said social media consultant Brent Csutoras.
"Businesses understand the value of advertising, but they don't always have the time to learn each sites' system and manage all the accounts," he told the E-Commerce Times. "This is a great step in allowing marketing companies to offer multiple advertising opportunities through one system, which could include their own tools and report integration."
Twitter did not respond to our request for further details.
Becoming an Internet Ad Contender
Internet giants Facebook and Google already have APIs in place and have become go-to destinations for many online marketing campaigns. The structure on other sites is slightly different, however, since Twitter does not have a side panel dedicated to ads, so all sponsored tweets appear on a user feed.
While marketers might like that those tweets could possibly get more eyeballs, it also increases the risk that feeds could become saturated with irrelevant promotions, said Gordon Owens, digital marketing professional at GO Digital WSI.
"My Twitter feed is full of people, places, teams and brands that I chose to follow," he told the E-Commerce Times. "I may be willing to accept a special offer or ad from a brand I love, but as soon as I get unsolicited tweets it is game over for me."
The new ad system rewards marketers for being good, not for being loud, Twitter said, stressing that the API increases the opportunity to promote useful and relevant ads.
If advertisers know that a few promoted tweets on Twitter can be more effective than an entire campaign on Facebook, for instance, they might be more likely to turn to that platform, said Csutoras.
"It could be very important, as having API access essentially allows other companies to sell Twitter's advertising for them, and likely at the same premium as if they had to do it themselves," he pointed out. "The more flexible Twitter is in allowing other marketing companies API access, the more those companies are likely to sell and push their ads over competitors."
A Step Closer to an IPO?
Attracting more advertisers is increasingly important as Twitter considers the possibility of an initial public offering. The company has been relatively quiet about its plans, but if it wants to make that a reality, showing investors that it has a secure path to sustainable revenue will be critical, said Owens.
"Wall Street doesn't play the venture capital game and wants to see large growth in profits quarter over quarter and year over year," he noted. "We saw Facebook struggle with its IPO because there wasn't a clear strategy to grow revenues in the mobile space. I am sure Twitter will try to avoid the same pitfalls if and when they go public."
Providing the easiest and most profitable platform for advertisers is a natural progression for Twitter, and the best way to avoid those obstacles, added Csutoras.
"It is definitely going to be beneficial to Twitter as a company and their ability to increase revenues," he said. "Strategic partnerships have always been valuable to a company, and API access allows these companies something exclusive, which I am sure each partner will take efforts to promote."

Background: Originally from Dublin, Murphy is an actor, producer, director, writer and co-artistic director of the Fundamental Theater Project in New York. She lives in Hell's Kitchen.
When did you move to the U.S.?
"I moved in January 2008 to attend the American Academy Of Dramatic Arts in New York. I never planned to leave Ireland, and didn't even tell my family when I did the audition in London. Then that summer I visited New York for the first time and fell in love with it. When I found out I was accepted I knew that I had to go."
How did you first become interested in drama?
"As a child I took speech and drama classes and was an Irish dancer for years. When I was around 15 I had a wonderful English teacher who really took an interest in my writing.
"I had always been an avid reader, but she ignited a new interest in me to explore literature, particularly drama. The first time I ever read Shakespeare was in her class, and I would say that experience really lit a fire in me."
What did you study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts?
"I attended for two years, completing the conservatory program in 2009. During my time there I developed a really strong foundation in my acting technique.
"We studied mainly the techniques of Sanford Meisner, with some exploration of Stanislavsky, and covered all areas of theatre from the Greeks to contemporary American. We also learned the basics in stage make-up, fencing and stage combat. The approach was very hands on, and there were many opportunities to tackle many different characters."
Tell us about your role at the Fundamental Theater Project.
"Fundamental Theater Project was founded in April 2010 by myself and my co-artistic director Sam Underwood. Since our formation we have worked with over 150 artists and produced work both here and abroad.
"My responsibility is to find and produce work that speaks to the mission of our company. As I am from Ireland, Sam is from England, and our managing director Katrina Denney is from the U.S., part of our mission is to bring international work to the New York stage and vice verse.
"Our first production was the U.S. premiere of Gary Duggan's play Trans Euro Express at the Irish Arts Center as part of the 1st Irish Theatre Festival."
Tell us about your company's project 3DHamlet: A Lost Generation which starred Alec Baldwin.
"We knew that we wanted to do Hamlet, but with a modern twist. The lost generation part was inspired by a New York Times article of the same name which discussed the young people of today, and our struggles to find our place in society.
"It touched on the conflicts between the old and new generation, particularly in relation to the recession. The 3D element relates to our use of multimedia -- the play within a play scene was filmed and presented in 3D!
"We had actually done a one night benefit reading of Hamlet a few months prior with Alec and were delighted that he wanted to be involved in the actual production. We used a lot of projections in the show, and the ghost of Hamlet's father (Alec) was a filmed projection. It was received very well in Edinburgh, and we sold out almost every night. It's a piece we are all very proud of."

|[Gentoo Linux Home] [GLEP Index] [GLEP Source]
|Standardizing "arch" keywording across all archs.
|2005/09/15 21:02:11
|Grant Goodyear <g2boojum at gentoo.org>
|Standards Track
|6-Sep-2005 15-Sep-2005
Approved by the Gentoo Council on 15 September 2005.
This GLEP originated from a rather contentious discussion [1] on gentoo-dev about combining the x86 and amd64 keywords. This GLEP attempts to get at the heart of that discontent. The proposed stable-keyword guidelines have been lifted verbatim from The Doc [2].
It is time for x86 to no longer be an exception to the standard keywording guidelines. Thus, an x86 arch team should be responsible for moving packages from ~x86 to x86.
The original, informal x86 keywording policy, where almost any x86 dev (which were the vast majority of devs) who used a package could mark it stable, arose from a time when there were relatively few Gentoo devs. Adding packages to the tree was the principal concern, as opposed to maintaining existing packages. QA considerations have since modified that policy slightly, and now it is the package maintainers who should mark an x86 package stable. Of course, that policy presumes that package maintainers are generally x86 devs, which is slowly becoming less and less true.
This policy for x86 is quite different from how every other arch marks packages stable. For the non-x86 archs, each arch has a specific "arch team" which is responsible for moving packages from ~arch to arch, although vapier notes that "arch teams generally defer to maintainers (and rightly so) as to when newer versions should go stable." This approach has worked quite well for the non-x86 archs, and this GLEP asserts that the same approach would benefit x86 as well.
For a package to move to stable, the following guidelines must be met:
A robust x86 arch team needs to be created. The email@example.com alias already exists, and it merely needs to be used. This team, with the aid of potential non-dev arch testers, has the responsibility of stabling all x86 packages. Current x86 devs who wish to mark their own packages stable must therefore either be members of or make individual arrangements with the x86 arch team.
There will be a considerable one-time cost involved in establishing a robust x86 arch team--a good number of bodies (the amd64 atch team has 19 active devs and 12 active non-dev arch testers) need to be recruited to be part of the new arch team, and convincing devs that it is in their best interests to work in a new fashion is likely to be even harder. Certainly the benefit of consistency between the various archs is obvious, but is it worth the cost involved? Here are the arguments for enduring the pain involved:
Creation of a robust x86 team is already underway. The more vital step is the official change in policy, along with a sustained effort to get existing x86 devs to go along with it.
Stuart [4] has suggested the creation of a new arch keyword: "[-]maint", which would exist in tandem with the normal arch keywords, thereby making the package maintainer's intention explicit. Ciaranm has responded that by definition a package in ~arch is a candidate for arch, so a package's mere presence in the tree (without being in package.mask) should indicate the package maintainer's intention. There was a fair bit of discussion about whether the idea should be a "maint" keyword, or named something else, or an entirely different variable, etcetera, but the basic gist didn't change much.
Jstubbs notes that it could be a very good idea if all non-arch devs worked in overlays, but that new portage (gensync) support would be needed to make it truly viable. Stuart pointed out that php5 support was handled just that way. One author's view is that this approach would make the "package in ~arch means that it's a de-facto candidate for arch" interpretation even more valid.
Ciaranm and weeve have noted that it is occasionally necessary for arch teams to override a package maintainer when it comes to stabling a package. Stuart has asserted that in those cases the arch team should be willing to take on the support burden for that package.
Not really an issue here.

Audio Dregs Explores Ambient Parameters
While many folks often attribute the term "ambient" to shitty chill rooms at raves in the '90s or compilations featuring obscure whale sounds and the like, it's important to note that there are still labels and artists that help define the genre as something more than a post-new age fad. Point in case, the forthcoming Ambient Not Not Ambient compilation. Released by the Portland-based imprint Audio Dregs, this 17-track escape into the subconscious is indicative of the spirit of punk, channeled through a haze of mescaline and trippy vibes.
Featuring trippers from Valet (a.k.a. Homney Owens), Chris Herbert, Lucky Dragons, Yellow Swans, White Rainbow, and way more, the collection travels through layer upon layer of delay, modulating pads, subtle noise, and the occasional vocal treatment. And even though you may not here the sounds of sludgy decay and avant-noise on many forthcoming Birdman releases, rest assured that every artist on this comp could satiate the apetite of any drunk garage enthusiast or psych warrior alike.
Ambient Not Not Ambient is out April 29 on Audio Dregs.
Labels: Ambient, Audio Dregs, Birdman Records, Honey Owens, Lucky Dragons, Valet, White Rainbow, Yellow Swans

Well you summed up my Tassie prospecting experience so far. Dense bush and nothing left for the feint hearted, but I agree, plenty left for the brave and curious. Even the old timers got turned back by the Tassie bush now and then, fortune favours the brave Id say.WheresWally wrote:
As nice as it would be to jump out of your car in the k'mart car park and trip over a nugget its just not ever going to happen, much like prospecting just off the road on the whyte and savage rivers, everyone has done that, but head 23klms up a river, set up camp, spend a day hiking through some of the densest bushland you have ever seen and you get to places that you know very few have ever been and those that have, didn't come packing the technology we have today. Just my take on things of course.

DUNDEE passed up the chance to claim their first Premiership win of the new campaign as they ended up only drawing with 10-man Partick Thistle at Dens Park.
Paul Hartley's side had the opportunity to take all three points through Gary Harkins' 59th minute penalty, but substitute Thistle goalkeeper Paul Gallacher saved his effort with his first piece of action after replacing the red-carded Scott Fox.
Thistle had surged into an early lead thanks to Gary Fraser's 25-yard drive, but were hauled back when substitute Craig Wighton stepped off the bench to level matters for the Tayside club with a well-taken goal within 10 minutes of the restart.
Dundee pushed for a winner towards the end but could not make the extra man count against Alan Archibald's men.
Thistle, who arrived on Tayside buoyed by the midweek 4-0 win over Ross County, were ahead in just four minutes as Fraser picked up a pass from Steven Lawless and wasted no time firing an unstoppable shot high into the top corner past the helpless Kyle Letheren.
It was some strike from Fraser, whose confidence was high going into the game having netted in the County game a few days earlier.
That gave the visitors a massive boost and they threatened to increase their lead just a few minutes later when Lawless crossed for Ryan Stevenson, but his shot was blocked by Dundee defender James McPake.
Dundee were struggling to get going although they did receive a bit of heart when Peter MacDonald's free-kick from 22-yards went just past Jags keeper Fox's right-hand post.
Then, in the 16th minute, Partick were forced into a change when former Rangers youngster Jordan McMillan hobbled off injured and was replaced by Dale Keenan.
However, the hosts remained on top and midway through the first half they came close to going further in front.
Stephen O'Donnell got down the right and his cross found its way to Stuart Bannigan who got in front of Dundee defender Paul McGinn, but Letheren in the home goal was equal to the task.
At the other end, Paul McGowan broke forward for the hosts but there were no takers for his cross into the box, which was the last real action of the first half.
The second half started with chances at both ends as Gary Harkins had a free-kick for the home team which hit the bar.
Shortly after, Kallum Higginbotham unleashed a powerful shot from distance which Letheren was pleased to see go past his far post.
However, Dundee were level in the 54th minute. Jim McAlister slid a pass through to substitute Wighton, who kept his cool to send his finish though Fox's legs to make it 1-1.
Dundee started to put the pressure on and in the 58th minute Thistle defender Conrad Balatoni was booked for pulling back Peter MacDonald.
Soon after the hosts were awarded a penalty when Daniel Seaborne was adjudged to have fouled James McPake as the pair went for a high ball inside the box - and Fox was sent off after what appeared to be a clash with McGowan as tempers flared.
Harkins stepped up to take the kick - but substitute goal-keeper Paul Gallacher defied him from the spot, saving the effort with his left leg.
Dundee kept going in search of a winner and in the 70th minute Harkins' cross was met by MacDonald, whose back-post header was well saved by Gallacher.
Thistle were pegged back for long spells but dug deep with a man less to come away with a point.

I just posted this note to the owner of a new geocache:
"The only recommendation I will make is that you delete the text you placed in the hint field, since you're not actually giving a hint. It can be frustrating for some geocachers who spend the time at ground zero to decrypt a hint only to find there is no hint."
I try to post a note to the owner similar to this every time I see a hint like "No hint necessary." If no hint is necessary, why frustrate geocachers by making them decrypt the text you place there? The purpose of the hint is to give geocachers a final resort whenever they decide they have looked long enough and can't find the cache. If you think this through and put yourself in the geocache hunter's situation, it's easy to see why you shouldn't post a hint that says "No hint necessary." I know... there's nothing in the guidelines about this. But to me it's a matter of courtesy.

Thank you! I hate seeing "hints" like this or "hints" that just explain the "joke" from the cache name. If I want to see the hint, it is because I need a hint.
