Wednesday musette
Suppose you were walking or cycling along a city street with a non-working replica of an assault rifle across your back. I think in most places (outside of a presidential visit to Arizona, perhaps) you could expect to have an interview with the local police after an alert citizen called 911. Oklahoma allows citizens to carry concealed firearms after taking a safety course and demonstrating proficiency, but the state does not permit open carry.
What about things that are not firearms but replicas of potentially lethal devices? Last night, as I drove Mary home from library, we stopped at a light behind a Hummer. Stuck in its trailer hitch was what I assumed to be a replica of a claymore mine. These are anti-personnel mines consisting of a layer of explosive with ball bearings across the front surface. They are directional, so there's a printed warning "This Side Toward Enemy" on the front. That's what was at just below face height.
Now, I'm not presuming that this anonymous Hummer driver had a real claymore mine afixed to his bumper. Still, I wouldn't put it past some dullard to do so with a home-made version. There are some truly stupid people wandering around out there.
Also, I could generalize by saying that gun nuts and Hummer owners have ridiculous over-compensation issues, but this one has more issues than most others.
Regardless, I'm trying to remember to keep a camera with me. Next time - photos!
Here's a new one.
Let's add a new excuse to the motorist 'greatest hits' list. I've grown weary of hearing the standard ones like: "He swerved in front of me all sudden-like" or "The sun was in my eyes." In Austin, Texas, the police turned out because an alert citizen called in a complaint of cyclists "blocking the roads and using drugs."
"But officer - they're using drugs right on the road!" No, this is not a story about yet another drug bust involving professional bicycle racers.
"I'm high all right, but not on false drugs. I'm high on the real things: powerful gasoline, a clean windshield, and a shoeshine."....Firesign Theater
Police used Taser on Texas Tech student
Texas police taser student on a charity bike ride.
I had a Google search term set up for news of any Taser usage, but it's so common anymore and so utterly depressing that I dumped it. Apparently if you don't show sufficient deference to a cop, he'll use the Taser to teach some 'respect.' Now, granted, the Tour de Tech Terrace seems to be an excuse for drunk college students to go for a ride, but let's wait and see if the they're-using-drugs complaint becomes more prevalent.
Real drugs
I wrote about my blood pressure last week and said that it was dangerously high. The numbers - 190 over 112. That's well into stroke territory. The doctor gave me a prescription and said he wanted to see me in a month. I filled the prescription immediately.
I've been on blood pressure meds before, and through a combination of medication, exercise, and diet, I managed to bring it down to the point that I didn't need the meds. But I all but stopped riding last winter as a result of the damage to my knees and shoulder. Pain has a profound effect on behavior.
Fortunately, this new medicine doesn't cause the dry mouth and constant thirst like the last one. It does give me a runny nose and the diuretic could see that I get a side job as a volunteer fireman.
But I wasn't prepared to be doubled over in pain.
A couple of years ago, a colonoscopy revealed "extensive diverticula." These are small pouches in the wall of the colon that can trap fecal matter and become infected. The pain began on Saturday and by Sunday afternoon I was pretty sure of what was happening. Monday morning, I could stand up and sit down with difficulty as waves of pain punched into my gut. I called the doctor's office as soon as they opened. Now remember, the blood pressure medicine give me a runny nose with attendant coughing and sneezing. You do not want to cough with diverticulitis.
So now I have an antibiotic to go along with the blood pressure meds.
Maybe I should bget some Viagra if only for nostalgia's sake. "What the hell's that? I dimly remember seeing it before, but that the hell IS that? Maybe I should call the doctor!"
All kidding aside, we die from things that have no symptoms. High blood pressure is one silent killer. Colon cancer is another. And for men, prostate cancer is the third. So far, I have the high blood pressure and there's a family history of colon cancer. I do not want the trifecta. Thank you.

England confident of positive result at Eden
Kolkata - England may have won the Mumbai Test convincingly on a turning pitch, but wicketkeeper batsman Jonathan Bairstow admits that their batsmen have to be on their toes against the hosts' slow bowlers who would come back hard at the visitors in the Eden Gardens Test beginning Dec 5.
"Of course, we did well against the spinners, but they are world class and will come hard at us in the match. We will have to be on our toes facing them. However, with the momentum on our side we hope to do well," Bairstow told mediapersons after his team's first practice session at the Eden.
With skipper Alastair Cook and star batsman Kevin Pietersen in red hot form, Bairstow exuded confidence about doing well in the coming match.
"Cook and KP (Pietersen) have been playing really well which has given confidence to the rest of the team. It is an exciting time for our batters and we hope to get a positive result in the match," said Bairstow.
Both Cook and Pietersen hit centuries in the Mumbai test, which England won by 10 wickets.
Bairstow, who has turned out for England in five Test matches, refused to comment on the Eden pitch which has been in the news after veteran curator Prabir Mukherjee lashed out at Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni for demanding "a square turner from the first ball".
England have won only one out of the nine Test matches they have played at the iconic ground and lost three. The remaining produced no result.
Having squared the series 1-1 with a convincing win over India at Mumbai, a relaxed and buoyant England team hit the nets Sunday.
Spinner Monty Panesar, who bowled his career best match figures of 11/210 in the Mumbai Test, was seen sending down deliveries under the expert eyes of bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed.
Kent offspinner James Tredwell who joined the squad Saturday was also present at the nets.

Hallo Brenda
Looking at col5, there are 3s scattered to the left and right of it, each doing its own bit of exclusion. In fact they exclude 3 from every free cell in col5 except the hint's row1 cell
- and unfortunately the row7 cell too.
This is where the going in this puzzle gets tough (I got pretty fed up here) because you have to see one pair exclusion and then another pair exclusion.
The first involves 1 and 3 in box7: col1 and col2 and row8 each exclude 1 and 3 from the parts they share with box7. This leaves just two cells, r7c3 and r9c3, unaffected; so they are {1,3}.
The second involves 4 and 5 in row7: col4 and col8 and col9 each exclude 4 and 5 from where they cross row7. This isn't quite good enough because it leaves not two but three cells unaffected.
But one of these cells is r7c3 which we found to be {1,3} so it can't be 4 or 5 either. This now leaves just the two cells r7c1 and r7c5; so they are {4,5}.
And the upshot of all that is that r7c5, being {4,5}, cannot be 3.

Post subject: Another way to look at it
Here's another way to look at it, Brenda.
There is, as dotdot says, a hidden pair {1, 3} in r7c3 & r9c3. And this leads directly to the identification of another hidden pair {4, 5} in row 7 -- at r7c1 & r7c5.
But now the value "3" in column 4 must lie in the bottom center 3x3 box -- there's no other way to fit a "3" in that box. So the candidate list at r1c4 is just {7, 8} -- this pairs up with the {7,8} possibility at r1c8, from which we infer that r1c9 = 1. Now we have the {4, 5} pair in r1c6 & r1c7, and the only place left for a "3" in row 1 is at r1c5. dcb

I'm new to sudoku and was looking for some help. First of all, where could I start reading about this hidden pair stuff? I am great with numbers but don't understand how you can come up with numbers when they have multiple solutions? Do you have to guess and go on from there? Where can I learn how to do the harder puzzles?

Hi, new2sudoku! Welcome to the forum.
There's a solid introduction to basic Sudoku techniques on the
Sadman Software site.
With particular reference to "hidden pairs," here's a great example -- it's the October 24, 2005 Daily Sudoku classic puzzle.
470 203 900
060 810 020
021 079 500
500 001 000
200 000 005
000 700 006
702 900 450
090 547 032
054 102 079
If you look at this closely you'll notice a pair of numbers, {6, 7}, lying in column 2 (in r1c2 & r2c2). The same pair appears in row 6 -- at r6c4 & r6c9.
Now observe how row 2 and column 6 intersect in the middle left 3x3 box. Clearly neither of the values "6" or "7" can lie in r4c2, r5c2, r6c1, r6c2, or r6c3. Therefore the pair {6, 7} must lie in r4c3 & r5c3, in some order. This leaves only 4 unknowns -- 3, 5, 8, 9 -- in the rest of column 3.
Now if you look at r8c3 you'll notice that 3, 5, & 9 are not possible in that spot, so it must be "8".
There's an example of a hidden pair -- I hope it's helpful. dcb

Exposure designed our website
Exposure were so helpful they were a pleasure to work with, Leo made such an effort in creating our site in such a short time. We gave him all the information we wanted on our site and he worked with that, also he went the extra mile and added in lots of extra features. For example features like the census map are so beneficial for our customers. The website now looks great and is user friendly, before Exposure did our website our site was pretty much a point of contact and that's about it. Now if any potential client is even thinking of doing a leafleting campaign they can plan it on our website. We are so happy with the service and cannot recommend them enough.
Corroboration of Service Usage
Exposure pushed us to find our greatest operational weakness!
I would be impossible to overstate my gratitude to the Exposure team for the enormous gains that I am confident that we are in the process of enjoying as a direct consequence of our having contracted their services.
As a business owner it is tempting to think that one knows one's own business too well to be able to benefit from the advice of an outsider. But what I discovered through working with Exposure was that it is this very way of thinking that has probably been holding us back from making massive potential gains.
We had developed an efficient and slick procedure for dealing with new business. Our staff were very well trained at assisting new customers and we were enjoying good volumes of business. Frankly, we were content with the workload and couldn't really see why anything should be changed.
Through a personal recommendation, we had reason to believe that Exposure were good people and really cared about the outcomes of their clients, so we finally went ahead and decided to give them a go, and having made the decision to use them I made a conscious effort to comply with all their requests, even where these didn't see relevant or helpful to me, because I know how frustrating it is myself when a client doesn't let you do what you do best and tries to micro-manage you.
Anyway, Exposure have this thing about the importance of reporting. I think it's number 6 of their 6-step strategy. In principle I agreed with, but didn't see at the time that we were not really do much to exploit this step. So, Exposure politely but persistently pushed us to search through all our data and create a dashboard that proved what percentage of clients approaching us were actually going ahead and doing business with us. The results were shocking and I accepted that something had to change.
We actually came up with what I think is probably the most effective strategy we'll implement to address this weakness ourselves, but the reality is that had we not been pushed to implement all 6 steps of the strategy, I would estimate conservatively, that we would likely have gone on effectively donating some £200K to our competitors annually.
Frankly, I was stupid not to implement these procedures before. I think business owners tend to be too independent and are so used to making unilateral decisions that - while preaching to their staff the importance of teamwork - they can become too individualistic themselves and too inert where they should be much more proactive: that is, in actively pursuing constructive criticism of every aspect of their operational procedures.
While I hope my competitors ignore this advice, if you're one of my competitors, I would heartily recommend you to get in touch with Exposure today and see what they can surprise you with. But if you do so, please give them free reign to do what they do best, and above all, take their advice! It works.

Great new website and reviews widget!
I am very thankful to the team at Exposure for not only their help with creating us a very attractive Wordpress site, but for also being so helpful in answering lots of questions and concerns we had. They shared a lot of their knowledge in online marketing with me and told me ways I could improve in increasing my chance of making sales. They were very quick to reply to all emails, polite and very professional. One thing I noticed that I feel really sets them apart from other companies I have dealt with in the past was that they seemed to genuinely care about the growth of our company and shared our interests. We were very happy with the price and have recommended Exposure to our friends, further to having our website designed for us we have now got a 'Mireviewz' widget. I am happy to now have our own page on a reviews website I can trust and to be quite frank I feel it is the only review site out there that can be trusted, with so many fake reviews going around these days and no ways of proving that the reviews are legitimate (which put me off at first committing to having mireviewz on my site) before I knew that this site was so unique. I also like the fact that people wont need to look us up on Google to see reviews on our company which would increase the chance of them going to another crafts site. It has been great working with Exposure, they have opened up lots of opportunities for us and I look forward to receiving all the benefits from the optimisations made for my crafts site. Would definitely recommend them to anyone that is interested in attracting more business and really cares about the reputation of the company!

website design
My boss has been using Exposure to design a website for her company. we'd had a bad experience with the last company that made us a website e.g no communication, no input , not updating vital information about her company and leaving us no way to contact them. We were recommend to Exposure and they have been amazing! they were able to source and contact the original website designer and get it removed from the internet hassle free. once the website was removed they spoke with us and really got to know what our company was about and what we wanted to achieve from our website. They spoke with us every step of the way and made sure that everything was to our liking.And unlike the ex website designer they have shown us how were can control,edit and manage the website when they have finished they even made a tutorial video showing and explaining how to use the editing tools. the website isn't finished yet but we are already so please hayden and yulia are a pleasure to work with and have included us in all the decisions 100% recommend them if you are looking for someone to design you a website. They have thought about us the whole time and have been thinking of everything that could benefit our company to boost business.
Corroboration of Service Usage
Terrific site. Terrific service.
I'm a businessman who knows his limitations. If it's food I m your man, if it's plumbing I call Jimmy.
For web design and all things internet I chose exposure. I'm loving my new website! So much more professional than my old one.
The team were great and really tookntime to listen and make sure they understood my business.
I gave them free reign with design and layout. After all what do I know.
There were a few teething issues initially with content but everything was resolved promptly. I'd heartily recommend them.

The Arkedo Series started life on the Xbox Live Indie Games channel, which allowed for rapid development, but not the large audience the games deserved. Now, it's being brought to PlayStation 3 by way of PSN.
Sanuk Games is sticking with "soon" as the release date here, but we have prices -- and they're looking good. Jump!, Swap!, and Pixel! will be a mere $2.49 each, and all three titles support Trophies. If absolutely nothing else, you ought to purchase Pixel! when it launches.

Mary Jane Saunders was named Florida Atlantic University's sixth President by the FAU Board of Trustees, and her appointment was confirmed by the Florida Board of Governors.
President Saunders has been entrusted with leadership of an institution that is rapidly rising in prominence and today enrolls more than 28,000 students on seven campuses and sites and offers more than 170 academic programs granting Bachelor through Ph.D. degrees. She oversees an academic enterprise that employs nearly 4,500 faculty and staff and has an annual operating budget of more than $550 million. FAU's expanding research portfolio has earned the University the "High Research Activity" designation from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
The University currently has seven major academic and student support buildings under construction, including a 30,000-seat, on-campus stadium that will be the home of FAU's two-time college-bowl-winning football team. These enhancements of campus life represent an investment of more than $300 million in student success.?
A major new national research center was established at FAU in 2010, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The Southeast National Marine Renewable Energy Center is focused on developing ways to tap the power of oceans as a source of clean, affordable energy.
FAU is in the process of launching an independent medical education program. Establishment of the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine was approved during the 2010 session of the Florida Legislature, and the accreditation process is under way. Plans call for this unique program to offer both the M.D. degree and a dual M.D./Ph.D. degree in partnership with the Scripps Research Institute's Kellogg School of Science and Technology, whose graduate programs are consistently ranked among the top in the nation.
The internationally known and respected Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute in Fort Pierce, Florida, became part of Florida Atlantic University in 2007. The work being done at Harbor Branch has greatly increased FAU's participation in cutting-edge ocean science education, research and technology development.
Prior to her arrival at FAU, Dr. Saunders was Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Cleveland State University, where she also was founding Dean of the College of Science, Director of the Biomedical and Health Institute, and a Professor in the Department of Biological, Geological and Environmental Sciences. At FAU she is also a Professor in the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science.
Her background includes professional and academic appointments at the National Science Foundation, the University of South Florida, Louisiana State University and the University of Georgia. She is an award-winning cell biology researcher, educator and academic leader who is known nationally for her commitment to public higher education.
A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Dr. Saunders holds a B.A. in Biology from Boston University and both an M.S. and a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. President Saunders is married to Dr. George Newkome, a distinguished polymer science and chemistry research professor.

CFCA serves more than 4,000 sponsored children and elderly in Chile. Our staff members in Valparaiso sent us this recipe for porotos con riendas, or white beans with spaghetti.
The poroto (white bean) dates back to the migrants who came to South America, crossing the Bering Strait, who brought the seed, planting it mostly in Mexico and Peru. This has been one of the greatest sources of protein for the Latin American people. Varieties include black, white, yellow, etc.
This recipe makes 4-5 plates; white beans need to soak overnight.
- 2 cups of white beans (let the white beans rest in water for one night, so the seed can absorb some water and get puffy)
- 2 liters of water
- 2 pounds of Hubbard or butternut squash, cut in small pieces
- 200 grams (about 7 ounces) of Tagliatelle spaghetti, cooked (long, flat strips of pasta like fettucine)
- 300 grams (about 10.5 ounces) of chopped Swiss chard
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- Half a small onion
- Half a teaspoon of oregano
- 1 tablespoon of fine chopped red pepper
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
After soaking the beans, boil them in two liters of water for about two hours.
Add the chopped Hubbard squash, spaghetti and Swiss chard.
In a separate pan, warm the oil and fry the onion. Add the oregano, red pepper, butter and paprika and cook for about 3-4 minutes.
Combine all ingredients, mix and let it cook for another 15 minutes.
Let it rest a few minutes before serving.

When Jerry Gonsoulin, 70, reached the final item on his bucket list, he wanted to make a splash.
The Bourg resident bought a 75-foot long, old-fashioned paddleboat earlier this year, captained it across the country over the past month and arrived home with it last week.
When Jerry Gonsoulin, 70, reached the final item on his bucket list, he wanted to make a splash.
The Bourg resident bought a 75-foot long, old-fashioned paddleboat earlier this year, captained it across the country over the past month and arrived home with it last week.
For Gonsoulin, this has been a long time coming.
"It's something that I've wanted to do for the last 20 years," he said. "So I just went and did it."
Gonsoulin said he considered building his own boat from scratch, but he decided instead to purchase and customize one to fit his needs.
The boat is 75 feet long, 18 feet wide and has two decks. It still has its original paddle mechanism and cost Gonsoulin $135,000.
He said he plans to build multiple cabins, a living space and a dining area for guests to make the boat fit for entertaining.
Gonsoulin traveled 1,650 miles from Bourg to Dunbar, W. Va., in June to buy the boat. Several family friends joined him for the journey home.
From Dunbar, they sailed up the Kanawha, Ohio and Tennessee rivers, then down the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway to Mobile, Ala. The crew then traveled the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to Bourg.
Since the boat travels at about 6.5 mph, the entire trip took 28 days. But Gonsoulin said he was impressed with how his new toy handled the trip.
"The boat performed flawlessly," he said. "There were no mechanical issues."
Because of changing river conditions, the crew spent about six days in Mississippi. They cooked, bathed and slept on the boat for most of the trip.
The men took air mattresses, ice chests and a portable stove along for the long journey. They woke up to the sunrise each morning and slept on the docked boat at night.
Gonsoulin said the group made many friends during the trip.
"It's been very interesting, and I've met some of the nicest people in my entire life," he said. "It's going to take me a week to write back to all of these people."
The desire to own a boat is also deeply personal for Gonsoulin. His mother grew up on a paddleboat called the Liberty in the early 1900s.
When his parents were first married in the 1920s, they lived together on the boat.
When the 70-year-old docked his new boat in Bourg, his wife, Scotty Ann, was waiting with a precious possession — the bell that hung on the Liberty.
Scotty Ann Gonsoulin said the more than 100-year-old bell — made from solid brass — will be polished and hung on the new boat, which the couple plans to rename the Liberty.
"I'm excited for him," she said. "I'm so happy that he's finally gotten his paddleboat."
She said Gonsoulin started shopping for the boat earlier last year. He was eager to buy one so he'd have many years to enjoy it.
"He said 'I'm going to be 70 and I want at least 10 good years on that boat,' " she said. "So we looked high and low for one that he would love."
Now that he's found his boat, Gonsoulin said he's excited to start realizing his dream.
"I've always wanted this," he said. "And with the help of my wife and friends, I finally got to do it. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Brandon Davis of LSU Shreveport (La.) has been named the NAIA National Division I Men's Basketball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Davis was selected based on his performances from Feb. 17 – 23 and was chosen out of a pool of conference and independent award winners.
Davis, a native of Pomona, Calif., became just the 12th player in LSU Shreveport history to score 1,000 career points. More impressive is that the senior guard reached the plateau in just two seasons with the Pilots. This past week, Davis recorded two 20-20 games for his 18th and 19th double-doubles of the season. On Feb. 21 against Langston (Okla.), he scored 21 points and grabbed a career-high 20 rebounds in the Pilots 28-point win. The next day against Bacone (Okla.), he again recorded a career-high 20 rebounds, while adding a season-high 33 points. For the week, Davis shot .450 from the field (18-of-40), while averaging 27 points and 20 rebounds per game.
On the year, Davis has scored in double-digits in 24-of-25 games and leads the Pilots in rebounds per game (12.84) and steals (42), while ranking second on the team in points per game (18.80), blocks (9) and assists (76). Davis also ranks second nationally in double-doubles (19), defensive rebounds per game (8.52) and total rebounds per game (12.84) and third nationally in total rebounds (321) and offensive rebounds per game (4.32).

WASHINGTON, DC -- Health club operators who include tanning as part of their membership fees do not have to start collecting a new tax that goes into effect on July 1, according to regulations issued by the IRS this month. Operators who do charge above and beyond the membership fee for tanning must start charging the 10 percent tax next month.
The tax is part of the health care reform bill passed by Congress in late December.
The regulations specifically exempt "qualified physical fitness facilities" that offer tanning as an incidental service to members without a separately identifiable fee, according to an IRS statement. A qualified facility is one whose predominant business is providing facilities and service for the purpose of exercise. The regulations also exempt phototherapy services performed by a licensed medical professional on his or her premises.
For health club operators who still must collect the tax, they must do so at the time the purchaser pays for the tanning services. The provider then must pay these amounts to the government quarterly along with IRS Form 720, Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return.
Even though collection of the tax must begin on July 1, the first time this form must be filed with the IRS is Nov. 1, 2010, according to Eric Smith in the media relations office of the IRS. Most of the form, which is used for a variety of excise taxes, won't need to be completed because not everything on the form pertains specifically to this tax. A good accountant will be aware of the changes and be able to assist club operators with the form, Smith says.
The tax was added to the health care reform bill after the American Medical Association and the Academy of Dermatology Association opposed a "Botox tax" that originally had been in the bill. That tax would have been added to certain cosmetic procedures, such as Botox injections and breast augmentations. Once the bill's sponsors agreed to remove that tax and put in the tanning tax instead, the two groups agreed to support the legislation.
Legislators say that the tax will raise $2.7 billion during the next 10 years. However, Joseph Levy with the International Smart Tan Network, disputes that figure, saying it will raise $1.7 billion while the original Botox tax would have raised $5 billion.
"So they traded a tax on mostly rich doctors and patients for a tax on mostly middle-class women," Levy says.
A Q&A with more details about the tax is available on the IRS website.

CHICAGO – By now, you know the symptoms.
Your head starts spinning. Your stomach starts turning somersaults like it does after a bad, late-night burrito. Anxiety sets in. You start twitching. And no, we're not talking about another heart-pounding overtime thriller that sent your body into convulsions late Saturday night – even before the Boston Bruins evened the Stanley Cup Final with a 2-1 overtime win over the Blackhawks.
The cause: The Hawks power play.
The uneasiness starts almost as soon as the referee raises his arm, which is your signal to reach for the antacid. It continues when the Hawks start their two-minute stretch of futility.
Three times during regulation and into overtime, you felt it. So did the sellout crowd of 22,154 at the United Center, who rose to their feet at the start of every power play, hoping that a special teams unit that entered Game 2 having converted on a whopping 13.7 percent success rate with a one-man advantage would finally, somehow, find the error of its way.
It only got worse.
Fans remained standing through each chance. The Hawks couldn't be this bad. Could they? Fans crossed their fingers. They waved their red playoff towels and rubbed their lucky rabbit's foot and said a dozen Hail Marys.
Nothing worked. And for Boston's part, it was almost like the Bruins were daring the Hawks to score, knowing nothing, in all reality, was coming. That brought excuses from the Hawks locker room afterward.
"They've got a good power kill and so do we," captain Jonathan Toews reasoned. "It's tough to go out there and do everything you want every single time you get the chance."
Hawks' players toyed with the puck on the point. They sent errant passes across the ice to no one in particular. On the Hawks' final power play chance in the second period, Marian Hossa snapped his stick in two and by the time he returned with a new one, the puck was skimming out of the Hawks' zone and out of harm's way.
Fans moaned. They groaned. They booed. Tweeters cursed, using every adjective imaginative to describe the Hawks' lethargic power play. They used words like fruitless, powerless and many more that aren't fit to be printed in a family newspaper.
But none of them were inaccurate. And worse yet, no one was surprised.
It's hard to imagine that a power play unit built around some of the Hawks' biggest stars could be worse than it was in the Western Conference finals against Los Angeles, when the Hawks scored one power play goal on 15 chances.
After two games against the Bruins, the Hawks are 0-for-6. Toews said there are areas (insert power play here) of the Hawks game that can be better. He said it will make a "world of difference" if said area improves.
Toews and others who tend to speak for the team are tired of being asked to address a unit that has somehow been down-graded from dreadful.
It will come, the Hawks insist. We're getting chances, coach Joel Quenneville has repeated throughout the playoffs – a stretch when the Hawks are a combined 7-for-58. No matter how bad your math is, that's not good.
Here's the plain and simple truth from Saturday night. The Hawks let the Bruins do whatever they pleased and didn't put up much of a fight after the first period. The let up on the gas and got pushed around at home. The issues on the power play only made matters worse. Players insist fatigue isn't a factor. They swear, while frustrated with "giving that one away" in Toews' words, that they'll bounce back.
Now the series is tied one game apiece heading into two games in Boston, where things certainly won't get easier. If the Hawks are to hoist their second Stanley Cup in four years, something's got to give. The chances that Quenneville is so fond of saying are coming have to be cashed in. The goals that Hawks players swear are coming off the power play chances have to come.
The intensity the Hawks started Game 2 with has to stretch through three periods – and if Games 1 and 2 are any indication – into at least one overtime. But as evenly matched as the Hawks and Bruins appear to be while playing five on five, the areas (namely the power play) that Toews alluded to needing improvement needs to, well, improve.
In a hurry. But until they do, keep the antacids close.

Henry Bolt, Colonel of the 66th Cavalry stationed in Fort Carson, in 1842 led them towards Las Barrancas. The entire force fell into a hole on their journey. A tribute, the Barrancas Mass Grave, stands in memory of Colonel Henry Bolt and his forces.
It is the county seat of Bone County, as indicated by the small red building in the main street, having been significantly undeveloped as of 1992. North of the town is Lil' Probe'Inn, as well as Area 69, The Big Ear, Green Palms and Regular Tom, while to the south is the Martin Bridge and Red County. West of Fort Carson is Tierra Robada, while to the east is Hunter Quarry. There is an Ammu-Nation and Cluckin' Bell just outside of town. Fort Carson also boasts five Motels. A miniature version of the Vinewood sign is perched upon a hill on the eastern side of the town, though the name is changed accordingly. Pedestrians are mostly White and Latino, and most peds such as grandmas, workers and rednecks are common here although pedestrians hardly spawn in general.
Fort Carson is also briefly seen in The Introduction, following Ken Rosenberg's release from the Fort Carson Medical Center.

- On the very edge of north-western Fort Carson is a small tunnel. The tunnel is located slightly north of the Fort Carson Safehouse as you go down the steep incline towards the water, and it ends near the highway that leads to the Sherman Dam and Regular Tom. It is one of the many locations in-game to collect a Police Bribe.
- The real Fort Carson is a military base, however it's in Fountain, Colorado.
- Fort Carson is an ideal place to do the Paramedic side mission. During the mission, all the waiting patients must be located in the same town as the hospital that you are using. If you use one of the three large cities, the patients could be placed anywhere within the city limits, and you end up having to drive very long distances to pick them up. Fort Carson has a hospital of its own and is relatively small, making for less driving and much quicker completion of the mission.
- On the southernmost block of Fort Carson, a Beagle spawns incorrectly between a house and a tall palm tree, its left wing partially submerged into the house. This is due to a typo made by Rockstar, they originally intended to put a Mountain Bike there. The airplane, although, is very unstable; it will most likely explode if you move it or enter it. But with some practice, the player may be able to move it and fly it away. This Beagle is the only one in San Andreas that is unlocked before a pilot status achieved. The area could be dangerous for Paramedic mission as the explosion could kill the patients and ended the mission if they are spawned in the same block.
- If CJ jumps out of the plane in Stowaway then a cutscene will play where he lands on an Admiral in Fort Carson, killing him. During normal gameplay Admirals don't spawn in Fort Carson as a randomly parked car or driven by NPCs, unless CJ passes through Fort Carson while driving an Admiral.
- The user "flaptickler" of the website MyRoom in GTA IV lives in Fort Carson.
- There is a hidden Easter egg in Fort Carson. The Fort Carson Sky Door is a floating enex located on the road next to the Cluckin' Bell, but it is very high in the sky, past the game's height limit. It is accessible through the use of trainers.
- The town is possibly named after the American Colonel Kit Carson who served in the Mexican-American war under Gen. John C. Frémont in California.

Difference between revisions of "Agoura Hills"
Revision as of 09:41, 1 January 2012
Agoura Hills [4] is a city in Los Angeles County in Southern California. The city is most known for its equestrian prowess and ranches, as well as top-rated hiking trails.
Get in
Take the 101 North; once you have passed the Lost Hills exit, you are in Agoura Hills. When you have passed Lindero Canyon exit, you are no longer in Agoura Hills.
Los Angeles public transportation has one line in. During the summer, a special bus funded by the City takes passengers to and from Malibu beach.
Get around
Best by automobile, as none of the sites are public transit accessible.
North of the 101 Freeway, Agoura Hills is a typically suburban bedroom community and of little interest to most travelers, however, south of the 101 lies the scenic Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
There are free summer concerts in the park. In the 90s, Agoura Hills was knows as a "mecca of music," launching music sensations Linkin Park and Hoobastank.
There are a number of places where you can hire horses to ride.
There are plenty of trails to explore. Chesebro Canyon has some of the best hiking trails in all of Los Angeles. Many begin in Agoura Hills and take you to Pacific Coast Highway. You can hike in the opposite direction and once you reach the top, you'll be at an sulfur spring. There is no shortage of biking trails either.
Get out

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server, aka remote desktop
1. (See warning in step 2 first) Download the free Real VNC viewer from http://www.realvnc.com. Then install the VNC server, remote desktop, and related packages. Use the command:
apt-get install vnc4server xfonts-base icewm menu grun iceme icewm-themes iceconf icemc icepref xfe
2. Install Mozilla Firefox for web browsing:
apt-get install mozilla-firefox
WARNING: Something has rescently changed because now when firefox is installed, it removes vnc4server and various other things that are needed in step one. I have not tried this but perhaps step 2 should be done first? If firefox (aka Iceweasel) has already been installed after step 1, just redo step 1.
3. Install the graphical package manager, Synaptic. You can use this instead of running apt-get or aptitude from the command line. Use the command:
apt-get install synaptic
4. Configure a VNC password. This setting is unique for each account on the Linkstation. If you are logged in as root, it will set the root password. If you are logged in as yourusername, it will set the password for yourusername. Use the command:
5. To start the VNC server use the command:
6. The VNC server will create a desktop for the user who started the server.
7. You can connect to the LinkStation using a VNC viewer. Connect to linkstation.ip.here:5901 if you are on the same (home) network or your.public.ip.here:5901 if you are accessing it via the Internet. This will require having the appropriate ports (5900 and 5901) forwarded on your router.
8. A more secure method of connection is to tunnel the VNC session over an encrypted SSH session.
a) Linux Client:
ssh -l root -L 5900:192.168.0.30:5900 -L 5901:192.168.0.30:5901 192.168.0.30
This would log into your linkstation 192.168.0.30 (replace by your real address) as root and forward the VNC ports 5900 and 5901 from your local machine to the linkstation. You may also use another user, it should work with any. Then launch vncserver in the terminal. Afterwards connect with a VNC viewer to "127.0.0.1:5901", note: you must connect to your LOCAL machine, not directly to your server, else the communication is not going over the secure tunnel!
A good idea would be to block VNC access from other machines on your linkstation and allow only localhost, as your tunnel would look like a local connect on the linkstation.
b) Windows client: A variation to tunnel over the internet using Vnc wrapped in SSH: Firstly install OpenSSH for windows (my preferred choice over Putty), then one can use the ssh command in the dos command line. Also install tightvnc -I just tend to use this one. Client setups only are necessary for SSH and VNC. Now type in a dos box:
ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 firstname.lastname@example.com
NB. you don't need a high security risk exposed vnc port 5901 on the internet side of your router for ssh tunneling; only an ssh port. Also if you use non-standard ssh port-forwarding (e.g. 5922(say) instead of 22) to keep things more confusing (if not secure) then:
ssh -L 5902:localhost:5901 email@example.com -p externalsshport
Keeping the dos session running, now start up tightvnc (or other) and connect to localhost:2 and type in the linkstation's vnc password and you should be away. If it doesn't come up check that the LS vncserver is up
Here the LS's (ssh serving) port 5901 (vncserver:1) is relayed to 5902 on your client PC, then connecting to localhost:2 in the vnc client connects to port 5902 on the client PC. If you first started the vncserver as root then root's desktop will be vncserver:1 on LS's port 5901 ..and say the 3rd vncserver (say a user) will be on vncserver:3, port 5903. Change the second port number (ssh server) from 5901 to the desired user/desktop's port when ssh'ing in.
Relaying to another local network machine (e.g. a win box) bouncing through the linkstation is also possible -and is left for homework.. ;-) Further reading at:
This also extends to Linux and probably a Mac if there are suitable ssh and vnc clients. Maybe all a bit confusing at first but could(?) eventually ssh wrap any comms.
9. The remote desktop will remain as you left it even after you close the VNC viewer. To close your remote desktop, stop the VNC server. Use the command:
vncserver -kill :1
10. You may wish to update the remote desktop "start menu" by running the command:

Man pleads guilty in California salon killings
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A disgruntled father embroiled in a custody dispute with his ex-wife pleaded guilty Friday to murdering her and seven others in a shooting rampage at a California hair salon.
Scott Dekraai, a 44-year-old former tugboat operator, looked straight at the judge as he entered his pleas to eight counts of murder and one count of attempted murder with special circumstances and enhancements in a courtroom packed with the tearful relatives of his victims.
"After today you will not be an alleged killer anymore, you are going to be a convicted murderer," Judge Thomas M. Goethals told Dekraai.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Dekraai, who had been locked in a bitter custody dispute with ex-wife Michelle Fournier over their 8-year-old son when he entered Salon Meritage in Seal Beach in October 2011 wearing a bulletproof vest and armed with three weapons.
Dekraai shot and killed Fournier before turning his guns on the salon owner, stylists and customers. On his way out, he killed a man who was sitting in his car in the parking lot. Police arrested Dekraai within minutes of the rampage, which left eight dead and one wounded.
"'I know what I did,'" he told an arresting officer, according to a police affidavit.
Assistant Public Defender Scott Sanders said Dekraai wanted to enter the plea to spare the victims a lengthy trial while he continues to fight a potential death sentence.
On Friday, relatives dabbed their eyes and cried quietly in the courtroom as the judge read the names of the victims.
"It's just a real slap of reality," Paul Wilson, whose wife was killed in the attack, said after the hearing.
Wilson also said he didn't buy the reason Dekraai gave for entering the plea and suspected it had more to do with strategy than remorse.
"This is not a compassionate man, or I wouldn't be standing here today," Wilson told reporters.
After the hearing, Sanders said that Dekraai had been talking about changing his plea for some time, and he was relieved to have done so.
"He's not doing this for a tactical reason," Sanders said. "He believes this is absolutely the right thing to do."
In his two decades working at the Orange County public defender's office, Sanders said he has never had a capital murder defendant plead guilty.
The case has long focused on whether Dekraai should be sentenced to life in prison or death, with victims' relatives divided over his fate.
Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said his office would continue to seek death for Dekraai to honor the wishes of some of the victims' relatives and his responsibility to county residents.
"This is a horrendous case. This is a multiple-murder case against innocent and defenseless victims, and the only thing that might even approach justice in a case like this is for us to seek the death penalty," he said.
Some victims' relatives said they hope to witness Dekraai's execution someday. Others said they'd rather see him suffer out his life in prison than be put quietly to sleep - a stark contrast to the violent death their loved ones faced.
"I'd like him to find a more eye-for-an-eye sort of demise in general population," said Bethany Webb, whose sister was killed and whose mother was the sole survivor of the attack. "He's a coward. Those guys are going to eat him up."
Dekraai, who was injured in a boating accident in 2007, is due back in court on Monday for a hearing underway on allegations by Sanders that authorities misused jailhouse informants in violation of Dekraai's constitutional rights, and tried to conceal related evidence.
Sanders has asked Goethals to recuse the district attorney's office and remove the death penalty as an option in the case over the allegations, which prosecutors have denied.
Goethals said he expects to rule on the allegations in about four to six weeks. If he doesn't strike the death penalty, a penalty phase to determine whether Dekraai ought to face a life in prison or a death sentence would follow.
In the courtroom Friday, some relatives wore T-shirts and buttons printed with the names and faces of the victims or with a heart-shaped logo designed to unite the seaside community in the wake of the tragedy.
About a year after the killings, the salon reopened, and six of the original employees returned to work.
But even as the community convalesces and the court proceedings amble on, victims' relatives struggle with the loss. Craig Burke, Fournier's brother, points to a giant heart tattooed on his chest along weeks after the killings to memorialize his sister.
"People say you end this court thing, it is going to change everything. It's not going to change nothing," Burke said. "You're going to live with this your whole life."

Roethlisberger out with potentially life-threatening rib injury
One of Ben Roethlisberger's first questions upon learning about his rare combination of injuries was asking how long it normally takes to recover.
His doctor's answer? No idea because there is nothing normal about them.
Roethlisberger, whose steady playmaking is largely responsible for the Steelers' 6-3 record, has a dislocated rib that could be life-threatening if he were to play, plus an upper-chest injury that is significant in itself.
"From what (the doctor) said, he's trying to talk to experts because there's no case study that's had this exact same thing," said Roethlisberger, who is being treated by Steelers orthopedist Jim Bradley, among others. "From what he told me, it was a 1998 rugby player or something (who had this). We're just trying to talk to people and get an expectation because we don't know."
Roethlisberger was upbeat but a bit weary — he slept uneasily in a chair for only a few hours the previous two nights — while talking to reporters Wednesday about the injuries that will keep him out of one and possibly both Steelers-Ravens showdowns in the next three weeks.
Roethlisberger said he dislocated his top rib — the first rib — that protects the aorta, the largest artery in the body, while being driven to the turf Monday night by Chiefs linebackers Justin Houston and Tamba Hali. He immediately knew something was wrong, saying he heard "a crunch and a crack."
If the rib had punctured the aorta, it could have been dangerous.
"That's more of the scary part," he said.
Earlier this season, Rams receiver Danny Amendola similarly dislocated his clavicle, which popped inward and could have threatened his trachea and aorta.
Roethlisberger dislocated the sternoclavicular joint that connects the sternum to the collarbone, a condition that occurs when the ligaments tear under stress. Coach Mike Tomlin referred Tuesday to this injury as a strain, but he offered no additional information Wednesday about the rib injury.
"To my knowledge the injuries are one in the same," Tomlin said. "I think they are connected. (But) I don't have a skeleton in front of me."
Could the injuries be season-threatening?
"I don't think so. I don't know, though," Roethlisberger said. "I'm not a medical expert."
Roethlisberger apparently does not need surgery and simply must wait to heal before he can return.
"It's more the rib that's the concern than the SC joint," he said. "I can move (the right shoulder) around. That's not the issue. But when I move it, the rib will pop out of place again, and that's pretty painful, needless to say. I try to keep it as still as I can."
Dr. David Geier, a South Carolina-based orthopedist who specializes in sports injuries, has never heard of an athlete dislocating the first rib. He said such an injury would occur perhaps once in one million cases.
"The first rib is a very stable bone," said Geier, who has been monitoring the Roethlisberger situation because the injury is so unusual. "I've never seen it pop out of place. I've never seen this in sports. But if the rib is fractured, which is more common, then you just let it heal."
Geier said a rib couldn't be self-adjusted, as Roethlisberger described, and it is more likely the SC joint that needs to be pushed back into place.
Regardless of whether the rib is fractured or dislocated, it is an uncommon set of injuries even for an athlete accustomed to pain and discomfort.
"This is one of those freak things," Roethlisberger said.

Adieu Zidane
Pleasant 100m climb located in the Zidane sector on the final outcrop of the Verdon Gorge, with great view onto Lac de Sainte-Croix. The route weaves its way past a series of overhangs in search of the weakest line up the face. Equipped in 2002 by Bruno Clement, Adieu Zidane is highly recommended for anyone new to multi-pitches and the Verdon.
From La Palud take the D952 north towards Moustiers. Before catching sight of Lake Sainte Croix drive past a roadman's house on the left (located opposite the waterfall) and after circa 1km park on the left at the viewpoint (Belvedere di Galetas) from where you can admire the lake and the bridge which crosses the Verdon river.
From the car park follow the track rightwards to the abseil station. Three abseils (30m, 50m, 30m) lead to the base of the route. The second 50m abseil is an exciting rap down into the void.
From the end of the abseil follow the bolts up right, 5 pitches perfectly bolted, twin-bolt belays. Excellent quality rock. The route follows a logical line past the overhangs with a long traverse on the 4th pitch.
P1: 5c+
P2: 6a
P3: 5c+
P4: 6a+
P5: 6a
12 quickdraws, slings for the belays, prussiks for the abseils, helmet.
The Verdon requires perfect abseiling technique. Never forget to tie a knot in the end of the ropes, and tie into prussik loops, prior to abseiling.

Molina Healthcare Inc (MOH) shares have been recently spotted trading below the Chikou. When the stock is under this signal, traders will be watching to see if this results in possible downward momentum.
Investors who have stayed on the sidelines may be considering if the markets will continue to rally higher. Staying vigilant and watching for signs of the next bear may prove to be a crucial element for helping to guide certain portfolio moves. Keeping an eye on historical corrections as well as sentiment and technicals, may help provide the proper insight needed. Investors may be mindful of any meaningful pullback or correction, and they may have a certain percentage in mind for when things seem to be getting out of hand. Cautious optimism may prove to be a profit saver when the bearish winds start to blow. Investors may need to figure out a plan for when to take some profit off the table. Conducting thorough fundamental research on stocks even after they have broken out may help the investor understand the reason behind the move, and whether it is likely to continue or if it is just a temporary spike.
Let's take a further look at the Average Directional Index or ADX. The ADX measures the strength or weakness of a particular trend. Investors and traders may be looking to figure out if a stock is trending before employing a specific trading strategy. The ADX is typically used along with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) which point to the direction of the trend. The 14-day ADX for Molina Healthcare Inc (MOH) is currently at 14.61. In general, and ADX value from 0-25 would represent an absent or weak trend. A value of 25-50 would support a strong trend. A value of 50-75 would signify a very strong trend, and a value of 75-100 would point to an extremely strong trend.
Some investors may find the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R as a helpful technical indicator. Presently, Molina Healthcare Inc (MOH)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is resting at -33.33. Values can range from 0 to -100. A reading between -80 to -100 may be typically viewed as strong oversold territory. A value between 0 to -20 would represent a strong overbought condition. As a momentum indicator, the Williams R% may be used with other technicals to help define a specific trend.
Checking in on moving averages, the 200-day is at 109.67, the 50-day is 134.42, and the 7-day is sitting at 136.92. Moving averages may be used by investors and traders to shed some light on trading patterns for a specific stock. Moving averages can be used to help smooth information in order to provide a clearer picture of what is going on with the stock. Technical stock analysts may use a combination of different time periods in order to figure out the history of the equity and where it may be headed in the future. MA's can be calculated for any time period, but two very popular time frames are the 50-day and 200-day moving averages.
Traders may also be paying close attention to RSI levels on shares of Molina Healthcare Inc (MOH). The current 14-day RSI is presently sitting at 50.30, the 7-day is 47.95, and the 3-day is 26.66. The RSI, or Relative Strength Index is a popular oscillating indicator among traders and investors. The RSI operates in a range-bound area with values between 0 and 100. When the RSI line moves up, the stock may be experiencing strength. The opposite is the case when the RSI line is heading lower. Different time periods may be used when using the RSI indicator. The RSI may be more volatile using a shorter period of time. Many traders keep an eye on the 30 and 70 marks on the RSI scale. A move above 70 is widely considered to show the stock as overbought, and a move below 30 would indicate that the stock may be oversold. Traders may use these levels to help identify stock price reversals.
Investors may be searching for stocks that are undervalued. Scanning the markets during obvious pullbacks may be one strategy, but it may take a more concerted effort to identify these names if the market decides to climb further. Getting caught up in the details from news and various economic reports may leave the average investor dizzy and confused. Focusing on the most important data sets may be helpful when trying to muffle all the noise. Heading into the next quarter, investors will be watching which companies are experiencing positive earnings momentum. Often times, earnings that vastly beat expectations may cause the stock to skyrocket. Filling the portfolio with stocks experiencing positive earnings momentum may be a popular choice. Investors may want to look a little bit deeper into the situation to make sure that the momentum is justified. Some investors may already be adept at figuring this out while others may need to put in a bit more work.

It's one of the most quoted lines from the classic 1977 movie "Slapshot."
After using a stick to demonstrate slashing and other punishable offenses on the reporter's body, goalie Denis Lemieux (Yvon Barrette)—in a heavy French accent—says: "You do that, you go to the box, you know? … And … you feel shame, you know? And then, you get free."
Ah, freedom.
Every penalized player yearns for it the second the door inside hockey's "timeout" room slams shut. RedEye asked Blackhawks Bryan Bickell, Brandon Bollig and Andrew Shaw all about the "sin bin."
What's going through your mind when you're in the penalty box?
Bryan Bickell: Usually just, "Don't score, don't score, don't score, don't score," pretty much. It depends. If you take a bad penalty, like a hooking call in the offensive zone, then you're in the box, and if there's a shot coming up on the other team's power play you're just clenching your teeth. If it's a penalty that denied them a good opportunity to score, I don't think you feel as bad—but you still don't want them to score.
Brandon Bollig: It just depends on what you're in there for. If you have a nice, long, spirited fight and it gets the crowd and your team all pumped up … then you're obviously hoping that, if your team scores, it will at least help create some momentum off what you've done. If you're in there for a penalty, especially a bad one that you could have avoided, the whole time you're just kind of praying they don't score.
Andrew Shaw: What's going through my mind is, "I hope to heck they don't score." It'd be scary taking a penalty, they score and then coming back to the bench and the guys are upset or the coaches are upset with you. But, you know, the [off-ice official] who's in there is always pretty nice.
Do you chat with the guy who works in the penalty box?
Bickell: Oh yeah, the guy in there … I don't know his name [at the United Center], actually, but he's been here for years. I should know his name. I've been in there a couple times. But we talk about the game or I'll say, "Oh, what did you think about that penalty?"
Bollig: Sometimes they're a little too chatty and sometimes they don't say a word. You also have different fans around you and you just hope if you're in there for five minutes, you get that whistle right away [after the penalty expires], so you can get out.
Andrew Shaw: If it's coincidental and I take a guy with me, I'm in a decent mood. But if I take a stupid penalty, I'm always upset with myself and I usually just shut 'er down. They're pretty nice, though. They're always talkative and especially here, you get to know them pretty good … well, hopefully not as good as you want, but they all seem like great guys. They're always asking if you want water or need a towel or ice for the knuckles if you just got into a scrap or something.
What's it like with the fans when you're in the box?
Bickell: Some fans start yelling in the cracks of the glass or, like, in Vancouver they have those Green Men. I was in the box once in Vancouver and they were pumping the weights [pretends to flex biceps in exaggerated fashion]. I try to not look at 'em. I can see them in the peripheral vision doing stuff over there, but I don't want to encourage 'em. Plus they've got the Jumbotron on the Green Men, and if I start looking at them I might start laughing, and I just want to stay focused on the game.
Bollig: That's just part of playing on the road and I think it makes it more fun when fans get involved … but only to a certain extent. It's usually pretty funny, though. I probably can't repeat it for the newspaper, but some of the stuff they come up with is pretty funny.
Shaw: Thank God I haven't been in the "sin bin" in Vancouver. I've seen some of the stuff on TV. I think it's pretty hysterical they do it for every game. I'd probably just look at 'em and smile.
Any other funny stories about the penalty box?
Shaw: Actually, I do have a funny one that happened around the bench when I was still in Junior [Ontario Hockey League]. We were playing in Barrie [Ontario], I was with Niagara, and this one fan would just chirp us and chirp us all the time. We knew exactly where he sat, so before he got there one game, we went up and took two water bottles and soaked his entire seat. It was padded, so it kind of soaked up the water. We come out for the game and he's sitting there and his pants are soaked and he's got a plastic bag over his seat. We just started chirping him back, asking him how his seat was. He didn't chirp us much after that.
I've also got a funny penalty-box story. When I played for Erie in the OHL [Ontario Hockey League], there was candy in the box. It was Starburst. One of my buddies got a penalty and he was in there, so his penalty was going to expire and there were only like 10 seconds left in the period. He stuffed his glove full of Starburst, but then he ended up getting out of the box and getting a breakaway. You could see the candy falling out of his glove while he was on the breakaway and it was pretty funny. That's the kind of stuff that happens in junior. You can't do that kind of stuff here.
So, were your parents "timeout" disciplinarians or paddlers?
Bollig: Uh, I was actually an angel when I was a little kid. I never had to deal with any of that stuff. We'll keep it at that.
Shaw: I don't think [Bollig] was an angel. I think he's lying there.
As for me, I was a belt guy. It was scary when Dad had it, but when Mom had it we just kind of laughed. Sometimes she'd say, "Go to your room," but me and my two brothers would just mess around in there. It never worked.
Does it work in the NHL?
Shaw: Oh, for sure. It's kind of scary looking over the bench seeing [Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville], especially if they score. You don't want to go back to the bench ... head down and whatnot. It's intimidating to get a penalty here. Even though we've got an amazing penalty kill, we've still got to stay out of the box.

Penny Arcade Adventures Demo
EDIT: Now with added demo impressions!
My inane comments about the comic below the jump, let's make this post more useful. You can get the demo of Penny Arcade Adventure: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One here.
It's about half an hour's tutorial, introducing the combination of point-n-click interaction and turn-based combat, as well as letting you play with the character creator. It's fair to say the demo doesn't give you the scope of the game – it teases you with that at the very end, in the way demos are supposed to – so the demo is mostly hitting dustbins, and robots that look like dustbins. But wow, the animation is gorgeous. They've done a really decent job of blurring 2D and 3D, and the art direction is pretty stunning. Plus, there's a few nice gags in the pop-up descriptions.
The dialogue, however, didn't do it for me. But I think that ties in with my not much getting on with the dialogue in the strip either. The banter between Tycho and Gabe seems in tune with the strip. Which leads me to last night's comments…
I don't much enjoy Penny Arcade. The guys behind it seem nice, and the essays on the site are worth reading. But the comic? It's a sort of… I get nothing from it. (And I stopped thinking saying "fuck" replaced a punchline quite a while back). But I appear to be quite alone. (Edit: Okay, no I don't, and people who hate it are idiots). Many of my colleagues in this dizzying and important world of writing about playing adore it. They forward the strips to one another with glee. Occasionally one reaches me and I think, "Well, they're not all incredibly stupid, maybe this'll be funny." And then: meh. It's not objectional. Just… it doesn't appear to do it for me. So I guess I'm missing out. (xkcd ftw btw).
Demo's here, and does a good job of making the full game seem intriguing.

Not all American workers have seen the higher payroll tax in their paycheck yet, particularly those employed by small businesses, Carlos Rodriguez, CEO of Automatic Data Processing, the largest US payroll processor, told CNBC Tuesday.
That's because the Internal Revenue Service deadline for the increase, which took effect Jan. 1, is still a month away, and it may take smaller companies that long to make the updates.
"February 15th is the official deadline the IRS has for people to make the changes," Rodriguez said on "Squawk Box." "But all of our systems were updated. Every company we process for has the right tax tables."

IPS held its 2011 annual meetings in Helsinki, Finland from the 13th – 16th October.
A public seminar on the theme of "Migration and Communication: Re-balancing information flows and dialogue", jointly organised with the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), took place on the morning of October 13th.
Latest estimates from IOM suggest that international migrants could number 405 million by 2050 if migration continues to grow at the same pace as during the last 20 years. In the context of these projections much of the public discourse around the issue has been negative.

I inherited this music symphonion from an uncle many years ago. Research tells me it was made in Germany in l898. It plays three discs at the same time in harmony with each other and is very rare. It is made of walnut and a beautiful piece. Under the machine in the base it holds 14 sets of discs.

Brennans Bread are proud to announce that their famous sliced pan is now available in many stores throughout the U.S. Food Ireland delivers to stores in NY, NJ, PA, MA and CT, and it can also be delivered to any address anywhere in the US by ordering from the Food Ireland website. Food Ireland is a family owned Irish business that has been bringing over 1200 of Ireland's favourite food brands to the US for more than a decade.
The well-known Brennans Family Pan (white slice bread) is still baked in the traditional method in Dublin, then flash-frozen and shipped over to the US. The bread is kept frozen until it is bought in the store, or delivered to your home, so that when fully defrosted, it is just like taking a sliced pan out of the freezer back home in Ireland.
Wrapped in its familiar yellow wax paper, the secret to Brennans Bread's great taste lies in the high quality ingredients. It's baked using all natural ingredients, with 99% of the bread made up of flour, water, yeast and salt, and there are no added sugars or artificial preservatives.
Food Ireland regularly delivers Brennans Bread to Irish stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and has started delivering the thick-sliced Catering Pan to Irish bars in the North East area. Food Ireland also ships to stores in San Francisco, Chicago, Florida, Texas and Virginia. They will also deliver Brennans Bread to your home, and you can add it to a basket of Irish goods, available from their extensive website. With St. Patrick's Day only around the corner, what better way to start the day, than having a full Irish Breakfast, complete with Brennans Bread.
Pat Coleman explains why Food Ireland decided to bring Brennans Bread to the US, "Irish people love Brennans Bread, and it tastes far superior to anything else on the shelves here. So we decided to import it, and so far it's going really well for us."
Whether it's toasted with butter, or used to make a sandwich, Brennans really is a true slice of home.

As Legos are so expensive I limit what I buy, but I will definitely be picking up that set. I picked up the TIE Defender last Friday and it is great.
Does anyone know the approximate release date for the Wampa set?
