Hi Guys,
We are attempting to use the onlyoffice document server via the alfresco plugin.
Our setup is:
Onlyoffice running in docker (Server is 16GB Ram 8 vCPU)
Alfresco running on separate server (8GB Ram & 6 vCPU)
Are there any known issues with larger documents (e.g. 1000 page docx - or PDF) taking a long time to display as we are seeing 'document conversion timeout' popup when attempting to load a document from onlyoffice in to the browser.
Many thanks

More Models
There apparently are newer models: TS-HTGL
In March 2006 Buffalo relased a new version of the TeraStation.
It is supposed to feature more current hardware like S-ATA disk.
For now please refer to the official site.
See hardwarePro for the new mainboard.
Where to upload Software?
If you have anything (Firmwares, Custom Firmwares, useful software packages) that might be useful for other Tera/Tera HS/TeraPro-users then send mindbender a private message in the forums. He will provide you with the needed information to upload files to
All linkstationwiki-admins & itimpi have full access and administrate the terastation-section:
The TeraStation Pro can be a member of Active Directory Enviroment of a Windows200x network.
To enable this Buffalo has released a beta firmware for this feature.
This firmware can be downloaded from http://de.buffalotech.com/downloads/TSPro-1.01-0.51-withAD.zip
And it uses an known password
AD integrated authentication only works by IP when username is < 10 or 12 chars (try using "administrat" instead of "administrator"!).. doesn't seem to include the domain
Some newly purchased units are coming out with a version 1.03 firmware. This firmware seems to have some issues, including the inability to set Active Directory settings(stays greyed out even after checking the AD checkbox, apparently not all 1.03 users are having this issue). Flashing with the 1.01 linked above seems to fix this issue.
In late June I had trouble with my TS Pro. Buffalo tech support suggested reinstalling the firmware. My box was at 1.03 but only 1.01 was available on the Buffalo website. I inquired and was told by Buffalo tech support 1.03 created more issues than it solved and was pulled for rework. My TS Pro subsequently died and I did a warranty exchange with the distributor (Dell). The replacement box contained 1.01, not 1.03.
Buffalo tech support does not recommend using 1.03.
Buffalo has a firmware Beta 1.04-0.00 or Beta 1.04-0.01 with a fix available on their (originally temporary) FTP site. According to Buffalo this should fix the issues that some users have been having when joining to their AD domains. It still does not appear to fix the name resolution issue (can connect to the device using AD users by connecting to "\\IPaddress" but not "\\Name").
-It seems that download link does not working, If someone have this firmware please let me know and I will provide hosting for it.
-It's working right now, but it seems go down intermittently. If someone has more reliable storage that would be great. Also, they have a new one out today: TSPro-1.04-0.01-CharFix. It is 1.04-0.01 instead of 1.04-0.00. Probably some sort of minor revision. --Wastedlife 05:09, 4 October 2006 (CEST)
-The location of the firmware has changed on Buffalo FTP site: Now it's ftp://184.108.40.206/disk1/share/TeraStation_Pro_TS-x.xTGL_R5 --cbuerger 2007-Apr-24 15:34 (CEST)
Non-Official Firmware
The following firmware files have been provided by Entropy. There is always an inherent risk associated with updating your system. If your system breaks, you own both pieces. If you have feedback on the firmware, please leave a message on the Talk Page.
|Base Image
|Buffalo US 1.01-0.51-withAD
| dropbear v??
user_nfs v??
|Buffalo US 1.01-0.51-withAD

user_nfs v??
|Buffalo US 1.01-0.51-withAD
| less-358
md5*sum/sha*sum/dirname from busybox-0.60.5
user_nfs v??
Release Notes 1.01-2
The highlights of this version is that it replaces dropbear with openssh for compatibility reasons and includes a NFS v3 daemon so that files larger than 2G can be written to the Terastation via NFS. Most of the additional tools for this package are built using the Denx ELDK
- Once you have flashed this image to your TSPro, you can ssh into the box using the admin account and whatever password you setup when you configured the box. The admin user has been added as a sudoer, so you can execute "sudo -s" if you want/need to use the root account.
- Anytime the box is reflashed, the ssh host keys are regenerated.
- If you are attempting to get public key authentication working, remember, all of the users' home directories are in /home, so if you setup public key authentication for one, it is for all because /home/.ssh is shared among all users. I would suggest changing your users home directory to /mnt/array1/home/USER (where USER is the username) so that your ssh keys are kept across firmware upgrades.
- I created a link so that if you create a directory called /mnt/array1/web, you can serve files from that directory using your Terastation. I wouldn't exactly recommend putting it on the Internet though! Unfortunately, the master configuration does not allow for indexes or overrides, so you'll have to change the /etc/apache/httpd.conf file if you want directory listings. (Remember, you lose these changes when you reflash the box).
Release Notes 1.01-3 TEST1
This test release includes two changes, one minor and one major:
- The program 'dirname' was added to the firmware so that a manual installation of TwonkyMedia server does not complain about it missing.
- Previously, samba3 was only activated when joining a domain. Since samba3 has a bit more performance than samba2 this, it is now forced to run under all circumstances (samba2 is no longer on the firmware). This has some pretty far reaching consequences. It seems to work ok in my configuration, but it may not work for units operating in an domain settings. If you use your terastation in a domain, please test this and provide feedback.
Known Issues 1.01-2
- /tmp directory is only writable by root (this is actually a limitation of the original firmware). Workaround: Login and run "sudo chmod 1777 /tmp".
Wishlist for 1.01-3
- I will entertain any reasonable requests for add-ons (note: this does not mean something completely invasive like ripping out samba for an upgrade that will break the web interface).
- uPnP media server
Entropy's firmware worked great for me. I am having couple of issues it might be my inexpertise.
- Couldnt get the Pulic key authentication working. Tried using the tips on QandA.
- NFS - i was able to mount both on mac and linux and i tried to copy a file little over than 2GB and got error.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks a Million
- Nav
Entropy could you tell me briefly how i can get V3 UNFS into the firmware. I will give it a shot. Appreciate your help.
- Nav
Thanks a lot for the info. It seems little bit out of my skills.
-- Naveen
Entropy, great work. Thanks a million. Here is my contribution, hope it helps someone.
TeraStation Pro and NFS Walkthough for OSX and OSX Server.

Tried to upload, firmware hung waiting for a response from Terastation, after 4 hours of trying everything including disabling firewalls, antivirus, pinging the terastation, I powered down. Now have a bricked terastation with System Error E00 MPU No response - desparate to resolve this - if I claim on warranty, will I get away with explaining that I was trying to flash the 1.01 legit version, since the process did not get far enough to transfer the image.dat file? Also, I am in Hong Kong where Buffalo support appears to be non-existant - has anyone had any dealings with Buffalo here?
- Nick
Did it hang at the end? beginning? middle? I believe that message indicates a hardware problem. The manual says "MPU is not responding" for that error code. You might try the emergency IP address and reflash or get it into emergency mode (although I can't find anything describing how; did it once by accident) and reflash. Try posting in the linkstationwiki.net forum to for advise. -Entropy
Emergency mode is described in the knowledge DB at [1]
Power off the TS, press the init button while powering on again. Once the Power and DIAG LEDs will blink in unison you know that you are in 'Emergency Mode' and can now let go of the INIT button. -jutta
Thanks a lot Entropy. Firmware works fine for me.

Active Directory Authentication: Overcoming 1000 user limit
I had the same problem with the group limit and found no answers anywhere. After a bit of playing around I found the group and user list limit can be increased from 1000.
1. Telnet into the Terastation and login as root
2. edit /www/cgi-bin/module/BufDomainGroupListInfo.pm
3. In BufDomainGroupListInfo.pm script you will see each subroutine has a counter which is set to 1000 "if ($group_count > (1000-1)) { $flag++; }"
4. If you wanted to enumerate 5000 groups you would need to edit each of this to read "if ($group_count > (5000-1)) { $flag++; }".
5. write the file and bingo yer enumerating 5000 groups.

Using the serial console
Joining Windows Domains
One problem is that the TeraStation will not allow you to join a domain that begins with a number. I had to rename my Windows domain because it began with a number. What was the programmer at Buffalo thinking? -Mike 2006 May 25
If you have a PDC with leading number(s) running send an Email to the email@example.com. They can help you. - Joergl 2006 July 6
Have Terastation Pro 1TB. I can join it to my Small Business Server 2003 Active Directory, just fine. The network sees the TS-Pro just fine, but the user accounts are not updated on the TS. I have tried working with buffalo tech support, but the just keep telling me it is a Active Directory problem, that my AD is setup wrong.
I explained to them that AD in a SBS network has to be created in a exact patteren or it will not work right. This is created during setup. Explained to them that if I join the TS as a workgroup and not part of the domain then it works correctly. This points to an issues with TS and not my PDC. The TS is not retreiving the AD information correctly. I did flash to 1.03 no good.
Have found other posts elsewhere with the same problem in a SBS network. Has anybody been able to join to the SBS 2003 AD? Bryan July 2006
Is it realy not possible to join a domain which isn't in mixed mode? Thaek Sept 2006
Here is how I joined a native 2003 domain with a Pro 1TB:
0) Configure your proper domain settings under the web config (even if it errors out on join)
1) Connected a serial cable.
2) http://your_Terastation_IP/cgi-bin/task.cgi?task=console¶m=on
3) Login as admin
4) Become root by entering sudo -s as a command and the admin password
5) /etc/init.d/smb restart
6) vi /etc/hosts
7) add the following: your.primary.DC.address FQDN.of.primary.DC (example: 192.168.1.24 DC1)
8) /lib/ld.so.1 --library-path /usr/local/samba3/ /usr/local/samba3/net ads join -U firstname.lastname@example.com
9) Enter the domain admin account password.
10) If you are still having problems connecting to the shares, make sure the time is correct (mine never gets it right) and repeat steps 5 - 9.
Also check the /etc/resolv.conf for old entries. For example a resolv.conf with 2 nameservers and a domain (called my.domain):
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.2
domain my.domain
search my.domain
With that, you should be off to the races. I am not sure why, but after a botched upgrade, I have manually do all of those settings each time I reboot the Terastation. But after I get it connected, it works great. Hope this helps.

TS-2.0tgl/r5 with firmware 1.03 DOES join AD
I have successfuly joined 10 (yes ten) TS-2.0tgl/r5 with firmware 1.03 to my single forest/tree/domain windows 2003 native AD domain. You do NOT need to use serial console or flash firmware BUT it was tricky:
-I had better luck using the NT name of my domain: MYDOMAIN instead of my.domain.name.tld
-I used hostname of DC instead of Fully qualified domain name becuase it would not fix in text box: "dc1" instead of "dc1.my.domain.name.tld"
-no wins was used
-remember! => The TS-2.0tgl/r5 1.03FW is not able to get more than 1000 users! A good way around this limitation is to use domain local groups. (Recommended design anyway)
-unpack, hookup, power on TS-2.0tgl/r5
-get dhcp settings or set all ip address info
-set time/date
-set hostname of your TS-2.0tgl/r5
-soft restart your TS-2.0tgl/r5
-add new computer account to AD using hostname you just set on TS-2.0tgl/r5
-make sure you set the new comuter account as "pre-windows 2000" computer (IMPORTANT)
-wait until ad replication completes
-login to TS-2.0tgl/r5
-go to network>workgroup/domain
-set domain, domain name, domain controller name (remember no FQDN and us NT name of domain)

Samba Performance?
Seems that I am the only one having problems with the bad samba performance from Windows clients (when having a few 1000 files in a directory). I assume that it has to do with the case insensitivity needed for Windows clients.
Is there a simple hack resolving this?
--Mbob 10:24, 3 October 2006 (CEST)
I use the TeraStation for SQL Backups... SQL dumps a 25gb to the TeraStation in approx 2.5 hrs... BackupExec then saves that to tape (Dell gigabit switches, SCSI U320 tape drive) in approx 4.5 hrs followed by a .75 hr verify... accessing TeraStation via IP address (for AD authentication).... I suspect RAID.
Samba 3?
The TSPro firmware with AD support (Entropy's firmware) runs Samba 3 - but only if you connect the TSPro to a Windows domain. If no domain connection is configured, the TSPro runs Samba 2!
To change this behaviour, you have to edit the file /etc/init.d/smb
You should create a copy of this file before changing anything!
Then you have to change the path to the samba2 binaries to samba3 - i.e. the line
cp /usr/local/samba2/wbinfo /usr/bin
cp /usr/local/samba3/wbinfo /usr/bin
I run my TSPro with this change since one week now and it runs Samba 3 always without any problems. The performance accessing the TSPro with Windows clients is much better than with Samba 2.

ST LOUIS (REUTERS) - Mourners sang, clapped and danced on Monday at funeral services for Michael Brown, remembering the slain black teenager with words of goodwill and joy rather than the violence and outrage that followed his killing by a white police officer.
Brown's body lay at the Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in a black and gold casket, topped with the St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap he was wearing when he was killed on Aug 9 in Ferguson, Missouri.
As hundreds of people filed into the modern red-brick church on Dr Martin Luther King Drive in St Louis, Brown's coffin was surrounded by photos of him as a child, graduating from school and smiling in his Cardinals cap.
"There are no goodbyes for us, wherever you are you will always be in our hearts," read a sign accompanying one of the photos.
Gospel music filled the sanctuary as hundreds of people stood inside the church, many dancing, singing and clapping.
Outside, gatherers sang the civil rights hymn We Shall Overcome, in a scene markedly different from the violent protests that rocked the St Louis suburb of Ferguson after Brown was shot to death on Aug 9.
Brown's father made an appeal for calm on the eve of the services. "All I want tomorrow is peace while we lay our son to rest," Michael Brown, Sr said at a Sunday rally against police violence that he led with civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton.
"Please, that's all I ask," he told the crowd of hundreds that gathered on Sunday, including the parents of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager shot dead by a neighborhood watch volunteer in 2012.
Like the Martin shooting, Brown's killing has focused attention on racial tension and relations in the United States.
The Ferguson protests also evoked criticism of the local police force's use of military gear and heavy-handed tactics.
Around the church on Monday, the police presence was heavy but relaxed.
Authorities have braced for a possible flare-up, although clashes between protesters and police have waned significantly in recent days.
The National Guard, brought in at the request of the governor to help quell the Ferguson unrest, has begun a gradual withdrawal.
Among the hundreds of people waiting outside the church was Travis Jackson, a black, 25-year-old retail store employee who said he took the day off from work to pay his respects.
"I had to be here. After all the emotions and pain of the past two weeks, this is an important moment for this community,"he said.
"Today I am focused on peace for Michael Brown. Tomorrow I can think about justice," he added.
In addition to Sharpton, civil rights leader Rev Jesse Jackson was also on hand for the funeral.
The White House said it was sending three presidential aides to attend the service.
A grand jury began hearing evidence on Wednesday, a process the county prosecutor said could take until mid-October.

The infamous Satanist Aleister Crowley first learned how to do magick using the word abracadabra from his teachers in the original Golden Dawn. He learned, however, that the correct usage was abra-ha-dabra. This, because the numerical value of abrahadabra is much more convenient than the numerical value of abracadabra. "Abra-ha-dabra" has the value of 418, when rendered from the Hebrew. And coincidentally, 418 equals many other convenient things.
"This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely. Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it."

Ocean Lakes RV Center Completes Renovations
June 11, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Ocean Lakes RV Center Completes Renovations
Myrtle Beach, S.C.'s award-winning Ocean Lakes RV Center just completed major renovations, and has expanded its facility. It now includes an additional RV service bay, new RV sales offices, and more space for its camper supplies, parts and accessories store and Awning Center, according to a news release.
The RV Center sits beside Ocean Lakes Family Campground's main office and is accessible from King's Highway and from inside the campground.
"This renovation and expansion were crucial to meet the needs and demands of our customers," explained Chris Allen, general manager of Ocean Lakes RV Center. "We experienced a record year in sales and service during 2012 signaling that the time was right to make this investment in our facility."
Ocean Lakes RV Center has added a 60-foot by 22-foot camper service bay onto the back of its existing structure. With seven service technicians on the team, the new service bay gives the RV Center the capability of working on larger fifth-wheel campers and park trailers. The company reported that as RVs have grown in size, including height, the older bay made it difficult for technicians to service camper roofs and air-conditioning units. Plus the 1,320 square feet of additional space allow the technicians to work on four units at one time. Ocean Lakes RV Center also travels to other area campgrounds to service RVs at their campsites.
Adding new sales offices became necessary as well. With consumer confidence on the rise and interest rates lower, 2012 was a record year for RV sales at Ocean Lakes RV Center, which specializes in travel trailers and fifth-wheel campers. The RV Center added 425 square feet for two sales offices and a pre-sales lobby to provide more privacy while dealing with financial information. In addition to new campers, Ocean Lakes RV Center also sells used campers and those on consignment. Camper inventory prices range from $7,500 – $90,000 making it appealing for many families and retirees.
The expansion allowed Ocean Lakes RV Center to also increase the square footage of its store, which carries a wide range of camping supplies and accessories. With more floor space, it is now able to stock additional accessory lines. In addition, the Ocean Lakes RV Center increased storage space to accommodate more service and store merchandise for future need.
For more information about Ocean Lakes RV Center, visit www.olrv.com, or call (800) 226-7716 or (843) 238-5532.

tlif usual interchange of stories gossip and reminiscence twenty-five miles from the nearest town was i rogers station and the weekly visits j of tne stage was the only connecting link with humanity spring was late and now though it was well along in i april a blizzird more fearful than any that had yet been experienced was | raging over the plains and making the ' rude cabin shake and shiver with its \ force tell yer what fellers said big j mike the roughest-looking one of the j party sitting around the stove it'll be i a miracle if the stage gits through to night lit through was the response from the red-headed store-keep r ; she's got to git through why bless j you man the driver and critters would j freeze to death to-nighj out on the j prairie 1 ' whew it's rough put in the lit tle southerner who had just stepped in ! from out of the doors it's a-snow \ in like blazes and you can't see your hand before your face wish ye w.is down in dixie don't yer said mike where ye could wear yer linen breeches the year round well i don't know but it is a lit tle better down there " was the replv spoken in a thoughtful tone i tell you gentlemen it makes a man's heart bleed to see the hundreds of cat tle suffer out here on the plains its they do such a blizzard as this means a ■terrible loss of life and he shook his head sadly pshaw the critters are bound to die j anyhow and you know they stand it piety well considerin put in the store-keeper who was intensely loyal to ! the west besides they ain't eat up by flies as they are down south where they suffer more in a month than t ey do hero in a year to change the subject a little gen j tlemen there's one piece of flesh that won't suffer much to-night an that's moseys uttered a cool clear voice on the opposite side of the stove a loud guffaw broke from the com pany they evidently thought it a good joke waal he had no business stealing bosses that's all i've got to say said mike but he swore he was innocent yes an we swore he was guilty an strung him up and the jury brought in a verdict of death by lead poison ing and that settles it jonas had a grudge against him : do you know why inquired the cool voice you see it was this way jonas was in love with a gal back in the states he come out here to get some money to marry on and found it slow picking he dug along though herdin 1 cattle and gettin a few head of his own started and was quite chipper about it when this mosey came along mosey had lived in the same place as jonas or something — anyhow he kno'.ved the gal and he told jonas she was married it about druv him crazy some folks think he is cracked leastways he ain't the same as he was — he's more solemncholy some way every easter he's worse n usual you see it was on easter some eight years ago and he left the east eight years ago to-night then said the cool man for to-day's easter mike looked up quickly is that so he asked then meditatively he continued it was a bad day to han<i mosey — but lie was guilty so what's the use of wormng there was a stamping of feet on the little porch outside everybody looked up and one mi;i suggested that per haps the stage had come this was denied for no wagon or horses had been heard the discussion was ended by the sudden bursting into the room of a tall gaunt settler with rugged face and piercing eves he glared at he group and then drawing near th ire with a sneer you did your work veil to str ng him up as ye did he ies^rred it deserved it all 1 • th*»y looked at one another mean ingly as if to insinuate that the speak er was out of his right mind he did i not notice them but continued curse him he ruined my life and ray hopes you know you who have j lived here with me how eight years ago to-night i hade adieu to my betrothed ! and came to seek my fortune how for four years i slaved and toiled and was succeeding well when this villain of a m<wey came along and told me that kate who was to be my wife had i promised herself to another curse him i believed him and owing to the irregularity of the mails in those days i could not hear from the one he m:i ligried now see what was found on his person and he held out a dirty piece of p iper from which the store keeper read : to whom it may covckrse i heivbi stut that the story i toled jon us : smart about kate wozent so she iz i waten fer him mosey it was in his clothes when the jury : searched him was all the explanation i offered by jonas as he took the paper ! again and now bovs i'm a-going j after her the dead is dead and i | won't use no hahi words he loved j | her himself inebbe but now good i bye and he started for the door young man said big mike step 1 ping in between jonas and the doar j it's nothing more or less than rank j suicide fer you to venture out on the i i prairie to-night the statoots don't pervide fer a man's mak'ng a fool of himself and you stays here don't he boys yes sir 1 said the men heartily no sir i'm going i can catch ' to-morrow night's east-bound train at the railway station and in three days i shall known the truth oh that i ln.d not trusted that villian and jonus ' hid his face in his hands but man you can't live three hours in this blizzard and you will surely lose your way no i won't i've lived here too long for that let me go big mike did not prevent it and the man passed out into the night tie croup looked blankly at one another 1 the cool m in was the first to speak bovs we must follow him all seemed to have come to the same con clusion for they donned their slick ers 1 without a word and soon were breasting the storm a terrific gile was sweeping down from the north and they must travel in its teeth spreading out in a line a few feet apart they took their way slowly against the sleet and snow across the piain they had traveled perhaps a mile without finding the rnmr-ide whom they expected would fall exhausted bv that distance when suddenly a long-drawn wail come to th ; r ears th i y stopped again it came a pit iful hri?k of wo riding on the north wind's back they pushed on more r-t|vdlv than before after a few mo ments the cries became clearer and then a bulky ma s loomed up in the night and they recognized the stage with its horses bewildered numb and frightened the driver was crying for ai 1 hoping that some traveler mi r ht hear him hello jake cried big mike as the men came up re you lost yes 1 was the response of the young driver got any passengers y i s one a woman w ril crawl in boys and we'll pilot him back 1 i the little rescuing party was only t<»o glad to clamber into the stage with its passengers huddled into one corner and rive up what they now considered a wild goose chase — that of hunting a i mail who was determined to lose him | self in a few moments the tired four-in hand had halted at the station and the numbed party was crowding around the generous fire the one passenger proved to be a bright little body who . v.-as straightway voted a trump on j account of her grit in standing the j cold and danger in a few moments j she told them how she had traveled all \ the way from new jersey alone and was going to her brother a ranchman living fiftv miles south-east — at the very end oif the stage line she had scarcely finished her story when there was another rattling at the door and with surprise the herders saw that it was the lost settler i can't make it boys almost sob bed jonas as he staggered up to the fire i lost the trail and had to come back but i did want to go to katie so bad jonas smart said big mike roughly you are a chump why don't you have some sense and not ' but he did not get any farther the cheery little woman on the other side of the stove came across the store and slipped down by jonas knee perhaps she said shyly you won't have to go far like one possessed jonas looked at her and then in front of all his com rades clasped her to his heart forgive me darling said he it was not my fault she did ' forgive him the store j keeper's wife fixed her up a room for the uight and the h«t day they talked it all over how she had waited and hoped for his coming how her family had been broken up and how she was now on hei way to her brother's ranch convinced that her former lover was dead she did not go at least for some months and then she was not katie but mrs jonas smart and to this day the cowboys on the prairie will tell of the strange events of what they call jonas easter charles moreau harger amendments to our public school law the recent body of law-makers which spent two months at the capitol in session could not be called an educa tional legislature in the strict sense of the term but certainly it was a conser vative body the amendment to the public school law of the state as suggested by hon s m finger our energetic and faith ful state superintendent was before the assembly for a long while vibrat ing between the two houses as it would be changed and returned by each body until towards the end of the ses sion a bill of amendments was finally passed the principal changes from the old law are as follows 1 the school year is to end on no vember 30th instead of june 30th as heretofore 2 no contracts for teachers salaries shall be made during any fiscal year for a larger amount of money than is actually to the credit of the respective districts for that year nor shall any orders upon the treasury be given to a teacher until he has the money in hand to pay such orders this means that s hool committees shall not contract a debt for the schools 3 ttie text-hooks recommended by the state hoard of education shall be used in the public schools the state board may however recommend more than one series upon the subjects to be taught 4 theapportionment of school funds is to be made on the first monday in january of each year 5 all schools iu a county shall be in session at the same time and but one continuous term in a year this pre vents waste of the money in a short and useless term of two or three weeks at a time 6 all contracts with teachers shall be in writing 7 county superintendents with the conductors of county institutes may issue first grade certificates to teachers who attend the institutes which shall be valid for three years this change is a long step towards the improve ment of our school system 8 all teachers holding first grade certificates must within one year after it is issued stand a satisfactory exam ination on theory and practice of teaching the book for this purpose being selected by the state superin tendent 9 one-third of the voters of a town or city may upon petitions procure an election for a special tax for the public schools of that lommunity 10 any two or more school districts in the state may employ a practical teacher to superintend the pubic schools and he shall discharge the du ties of county superintendent in those districts 11 all the summer normal schools are abolished and the money which has heretofore supported them is to be used iii providing county institutes in their stead the state refused to appro priate the additional amount of 5,000 which was asked for to be used in the special training of the white teachers therefore the colored teachers now re ceive 38,000 from the state for their normals while the white teachers have only 4,000 fwr training the men and women who are to educate the white boys and girl of our state — n c teacher the cowboy's ticket sun francisco chronicle they were telling experiences the other night and col grannis told ene of his he made the trip through the southern country here just after the road had been opened the festive cowboy had just begun to enjoy the sport of running the train in the rough region and at one of the sta tions a formidable specimen of that tough human boarded the cars the conductor came along punching the tickets and thejeowboy did not pay any attention to him at last the conduc tor laid his hand on the cowboy's shoul der and said ticket please the cowboy turnel in true cowboy style pulledout his revolver and pointed it at the conductor here's my ticket the conductor walked on and punched everybody else's coupon then he dis appeared the little incident had been i forgotten by almost everybody on the car the cowboy was in a quiescent : state and the car was quite still when j the conductor came in he walked i leisurely up the aisle and suddenly stop ! ped before the cowboy placed a grei.t big knife dangerously contiguous to his vital part and said quietly lemme see that ticket again the cowboy paid his fare the niagara suspension bridge was built by roebling in 1852-5 at a cost of 400,000 it is 250 feet above the water 821 feet long and the strength is estimated 1,200 ton an awful straggle los anglees express a family named lambert living on luke charlie apopka or tsala lake as j it is called report a very thrilling ex | nerience the family is composed of ; mr and mrs lambert and three chil dren — two hoys and a girl baby the boys being 8 and 15 respectively and hie girl just able to toddle about they moved there some years ago and pre-empted a homestead on the south side of the lake the house is built about 200 feet from the lake and on a slight elevation the land in front sloping down gradually to the water's edge at the left off some little dis tance is an immense saw grass pond near this mr lambert built an in closure for his hogs facing the lake and up to a month ago he had a magnificent lot of porkers one night he heard a tremendous roar in his hog pen and hurrying out with his shotgun and lantern he was just in time to see one of his fine hogs disappearing in the lake in the mouth of a huge alligator while the score of balls of fire in the lake showed the presence of others from that begin ning their inroads were kept up with great regularity and though he killed a dozen or more yet the pork was toe nice for them to relinquish their feed ing ground lately they have grown so bold as to crawl into his yard in daytime and the predatory raids of these animals on his hogs and fowls have rendered his life a burden a recent adventure however of two members of his family with one of these dreadful creatures has so terrified the farmer and has so alarmed his en tire household that h is seriously con templating abandoning his place one saturday afternoon mrs lambert who was in the back part of the house was attracted by the screams of her little girl and frantic cries of mamma mamma p hurrying to the front of the house she could dot at first locate the little one's whereabouts bat her piercing screams continued and the al most frantic mother soou discovered the flutter of the child's dress near the shore of the lake the palmetto bnshea hiding her from view snatching up an ax from the woodpile she hew to the water's edge and as she rounded the palmetto patch a sight burst upon her that nearly tlrore her crazy on the edge of the bauk with its body half in the water was a huge al ligator its forepaws outstretched rais ing it from the ground while its tail lashed the water into foam just in front of it and clinging to a palmetto root with her tiny bands for dear life was the little girl her dress being held in the jaws of the alligator who was slowly dragging the child the alli gator's dull eyes gleamed with anger like red coals of fire and when mrs lambert appeared the monster uttered a hoarse bellow and started backward tearing loose the child's slight hold the latter's infantile features were drawn into an agonized appeal and as the animal dragged her down she was too completely paralyzed with fear to ven cry out the peril of her baby banished all fear from mrs lambert and she rushed up and struck the ani mal over the head with the ax and seizing the child in both arms tried to pull her away it cut into the gator's eye and he half sprang at her this left the child free and they both fell backward mrs lambert said afterward that at this moment she never expected to save her life as she fell the alligator swung around his tail with a terrible sounding whisk but the fortunate fall of the two just placed them outside its deadly sw&'p the alligator advanced as far as he could with unwieldy waddle and mrs lambeth attempted to rise and escape her dre«s caught on a root and before she could get up and free herself the alligator made a snap at her and miss ed catching hold of her dress instead finding that it had secured something it commenced backing toward the water dragging along the prostrate woman who now fully realized her peril and filled the air with her cries for help she frantically clutched at the roots as she was dragged over them but her dress was of stout material and the alligator strength soon over came her feeble resistance suddenly with a heary sinking of the heart she felt that her foot was under the water and that if no help came she was doomed to a terrible death the horror gave her strength for a moment and she made another frantic effort to free herself but it was in vain and she felt herself drawn into the water suddenly her hands which were nervously clutching at anything and everything that seemed to promise support passed over the ax handle with the swiftness of thought and with superhuman energy she siezed the helve and scrambled up and how she cannot say she managed to de il the gator a heavy blow with the blade with rare good fortune it struck his other eye and crushed into hie head the maddened and wounded reptile opened its jaws with a roar of pain and rage and mrs lambert's dress blipped off its huge teeth scrambling up she seized her baby and fled wildly to the house and fell on the porch in a de.id faint her hus band on returning home at night found her there unconscious with th 1 child patting her mother's cheek try iuj in her bnlry w*iv to arouse her death of the worst man is the conntry louisville ky dispatch march 2.1 j:ick hardy the famous sporting man wh died suddenly at the neir orleans race track sunday was well known here he had probably killed more men than any other individual who ever lived in this country his re cord of thirty yeass being one of con stant strife and bloodshed he spent much of his time here and a friend of his related yesterday how he killed twenty-one men in one year hardy sprang into prominence as a dangerous man about the begining of the civil war he said he attended a fair at a little backwoods town in texas and air.ong the features was u horse race hardy and his frienc's were interested iu h certain horse and con siderable money went that way the horse won but there was a big gang on the other side and they claimed ;» foul refusing to give up the money a fight resulted and pistols were drawn by all hardy's friends retreated but he stood his ground and taking aim with a big navy revolver commenced firing his marksmanship was so good that each of the seven bullets the weapon contained ended a life har dy was partly protected by a post but in spite of that he was shot tire times before the fight was ended and for a time lay at the point of death whjn hardy recovered the others of the gang swore that they would drive him out of the state and when ever he met ne of them a fight en sued a a result he killed twenty-ona before the ear was over for the last ufivore he was outlawed and a re ward of 10,000 for his capture wns offered by the state he found refuge among the cattle ranches however and when the war began organized a body of rangers and with them joined the confederate army his conduct throughout the wxir was so brave that he was granted a full pardon by the confederacy for all past offences in 18(w hardy became involved ia another difficulty a federal officer who was stationed at a small post in texas one day grossly insulted har dy's wife she told her bosband and putting his pistol in his pocket he went in search of the offender the officer knowing the dangerous char acter of the man retired to his house and locked himself in it was night but hardy went immediately to the pot iieiag unable to obtain admit lance and learning that the officer was in the buildiug he set fire to the houso and stationed himself at some distance back in the yard the officer endeavored to escape through a window but as he appeared hardy seut a bullet through his bead iind hardy escaped punishment he afterward went to new orleans when he killed four meu hardy's skill iu shooting a pistol was remarkable a few years ago he wad at the race track here with several friends and the question of marksman ship arose a small spot was made oi a post about thirty paces away aud hardy sent five bullets into the same hole he could hit a

The Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is about to unleash insects of all sizes on its visitors. That's because the museum is hosting two new exhibits devoted to one particular fear many of us face: bugs.
Beginning with a free opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 1, the museum is featuring "Bugs...Outside the Box and Beautiful Beasts: The Unseen Life of Oklahoma Spiders and Insects."
Each exhibit showcases the wonder and beauty of our small friends in different ways. "Bugs...Outside the Box" presents a selection of greatly enlarged insect sculptures, each showcasing the beauty hidden within the (mini) beasts of the natural world. Butterflies with 5-foot wingspans and beetles, 4 feet long, which can stare you square in the eye, are only two examples of the unique sculptures on display in this unique exhibition. Using powerful magnification and actual specimens of each animal, artist Lorenzo Possenti painstakingly creates each sculpture with remarkable accuracy.
"Beautiful Beasts "depicts incredibly stunning images of insects through immense color macrophotographs alongside descriptions of where and how the photographs were taken. The exhibit chronicles the photographer, Thomas Shahan's tireless search for arthropods, a venture that has made him into an outspoken advocate for education about the role they play in our lives. Beautiful Beasts is made possible, in part, by the Norman Arts Council Grant Program.
The world of insects is all around us. Cleverly camouflaged or flamboyant in their displays, their diminutive size frequently keeps them from attracting our attention. During the opening reception, the Sam Noble Museum hopes to turn fear into fascination with entertainment from the Bug Chicks, insect scientists whose mission is to provide a fresh look on insects and spiders. The Bug Chicks are sure to change the way people think about spiders, insects and other anthropods with performances and silly anecdotes about bugs.
Other activities throughout the museum include a multitude of bug-themed fun, including edible bugs and bug products, bug sounds and a table for children to build their own bug. Summit Toys has provided a generous donation of Backyard Safari gear to hand out to children during the reception.
The celebration continues with complimentary admission to the museum on Feb. 2, and Feb. 3.
As always, the museum also will be free on Feb. 4 for "Free First Monday," sponsored by OU Outreach. While visitors are enjoying free admission on Saturday, the Bug Chicks will continue their entertainment with two additional performances. For more information, http://www.snomnh.ou.edu.
The Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is located on the University of Oklahoma Norman campus at Timberdell Road and Chautauqua Avenue.
Admission is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors 65 and up, and $3 for youth ages 6 to 17. Children ages 5 and under are admitted free. Discounts are available for military personnel and their immediate families. For accommodations on the basis of disability, call (405) 325-4712.

Review: 'Saints Row IV' goes off the deep end
"Saints Row," the shoot-'em-up video game franchise that debuted in 2006 as a knockoff of "Grand Theft Auto," has always been unapologetically low-brow and self-consciously silly. "Saints Row IV" (Volition, for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, $59.99) doesn't veer from that pre-established mindlessness. In fact, it drives right through it, off a cliff and straight into outer space.
The latest "Saints Row" trades the series' over-the-top urban warfare for an out-of-this-world cyberpunk romp inspired by the likes of "Tron" and "The Matrix." Players are again cast as the nameless boss of the Third Street Saints gang. Since commandeering the streets of Steelport in "Saints Row: The Third," the protagonist has been elected president of the United States.
That's just the beginning of the ridiculousness.
The hero's first term in office is short-lived after the Shakespeare-quoting leader of an extraterrestrial race called the Zin blows the White House — and all of Earth — to smithereens, trapping the foul-mouthed president in a virtual rendition of Steelport that's been populated with twisted avatars, laser-blasting aliens, neon-hued rides and very violent mascots.
The game's environment will feel extremely familiar to anyone who played the previous "Saints Row" outing, although the developers have updated the chintzy landscape with diversions that include stomping around the city in a lumbering mech suit and speeding across cyber race tracks. Inside the virtual world, the protagonist can now command superpowers, too.
The gravity-defying abilities are basically clones of those found in such games as "InFamous" or "Prototype." While the addition of powers like telekinesis and superspeed are addictive, they add absolutely nothing to the plot. In fact, they're distracting, leaving the stuff that made past "Saints Row" editions fun, namely matter-of-fact carjacking, pretty pointless.
Graphically, "Saints Row IV" is garishly glitchy, an issue offset by the fact the game is set within an unstable computer simulation. "Saints Row IV" won't be very friendly to newcomers of the franchise because the bulk of the adventure is spent on reuniting the gang — and some other characters — from the previous three installments.
The most original addition to "Saints Rows IV" is a doodad called the dup-step gun. Once it's powered up and the trigger is pulled, the turntable-shaped weapon emits electronic dance music and colorfully explosive streams, inspiring nearby vehicles to hydraulically bounce and passers-by to pop and lock. It's so simple yet so satisfying to employ when facing groups of Zin.
While it's plagued with problems, "Saints Row IV" continues down its predecessors' path as outrageously mindless fun, the equivalent of interactive junk food. It's not as thought-provoking as a "BioShock" or as polished as an "Uncharted." It's just a yummy bag of gummy worms to gnaw on for a month before "Grand Theft Auto V" is released. Two-and-a-half stars out of four.

Figure Skater Completes Routine After Breaking Nose [VIDEO]
[/caption]Canadian figure skater Eric Radford looked like a hockey player after he completed his pairs routine at the Skating World Championships in Moscow on Tuesday.
That's because his partner, Megan Duhamel, unintentionally elbowed him in the face on the way down from a toss, leaving Radford's nose badly broken and bloodied.
"I could see, I could breathe, I'm not dying, I'll finish the program and deal with it after," Radford said after getting his nose reset.
Radford and Duhamel ended the bloody night in seventh place.

I found the mega packs at TRU today, but had to pass on them. They had the Sentinel and Galacticus ones - isn't there supposed to be an Avengers one with Goliath? I might buy that, but $11 seems steep.
Fin Fang Foom looks great, but everytime I see one of these DLX Marvel sets I can't help but think how great it would be to get a Rancor/Oola or Tusken/Bantha Pack in the Star Wars line.

Proper nouns allowed
Well, this is earthshaking news. Mattel has changed the rules of the board game, Scrabble.
The rules of word game Scrabble are being changed for the first time in its history to allow the use of proper nouns, games company Mattel has said.
Place names, people's names and company names or brands will now count.
Source: "Proper nouns come into play in Scrabble rule change", BBC News, April 6, 2010.
Later in the article, Mattel (a Mattel spokesperson, surely) says that there will be no rules about right or wrong spellings of proper nouns. It's hard for me to understand how that will work, but I guess it will be all right for those who want to play by those rules.
Keely and I have already decided that we will continue to play by the traditional rules. In our house, that means that no proper nouns at all are allowed.
The appearance of Scrabble in world news gives me an excuse to share our Easter afternoon Scrabble game. It was a good one! At the end of the game, we both had three letters left, and the score was 680 (Keely) to 756 (me). In a stunning moment of pure genius, Keely saw that she could play all three of her letters (E, I, and W) in the following location on the board.
The blank letter is a T. Do you see the place where Keely played? Click here to see the word that earned her 102 points and moved her to the lead, 782 to 770. (In anatomy, an iter is a passage or canal, particularly in the brain.)
I played my last three letters and got another 27 points, making the final score 809 to 782 in my favor. Looking at the completed game now, I don't even remember the places where I played. I won, but it hardly seemed a victory after Keely's spectacular coup.
That's how Scrabble is supposed to be played. Proper nouns would spoil everything!
UPDATE: It turns out that the U.S. version of Scrabble, owned by Hasbro, has not changed its rules. See the comments below for a link.

Department of Revenue News Release
November 12, 2009Management Contracts Awarded to Agents for Houston, Independence, Kahoka and Viburnum License Offices
JEFFERSON CITY - A reformed competitive bidding process implemented by Gov. Jay Nixon and supported by legislators from both political parties has been used to award management contracts for four more local license offices.
"The new system allows any interested person or group an opportunity to bid for a local license office," Gov. Nixon said. "Professional staff at the Department of Revenue then reviews the bids, and the bid that is the most financially efficient and promises the best customer service wins. This reformed process is more open than the old system, and it will result in better services for the people who need to get driver licenses and license plates."
The four offices awarded today are in Houston, Independence, Kahoka and Viburnum. All of the offices will remain at their current locations, except in Houston.
Bidders have the option of returning a portion of the office's revenues to the state. Two of this week's winning bidders will return some of their revenues. The estimated amount of money that will be returned to the state in the first contract year from the 138 offices that have been awarded so far under the new bidding process is $769,707.
The Houston License Office has been awarded to a new agent, Cynthia L. Blades of West Plains. Blades has been an employee of the West Plains License Office since 2007, and her winning bid was one of three submitted. The office will be re-located from its current address of 122 W. Walnut St. to the Houston Plaza at 1591 N. Highway 63, Suite B. A one-half of 1 percent ($333) return to the state was included in the bid.
A new agent, the Paul J. Wrabec Company, Inc., has been awarded the management contract for the Independence License Office. The winning bid was one of seven that were submitted. The company is a real estate investment and development firm founded in 1978, and it was awarded the Sugar Creek License Office in June. The Independence office is located at 16643 E. 23rd St., and a 3.5 percent ($15,753) first-year return to the state was included in the bid.
The Kahoka License Office, located at 178 W. Main St., Suite 1, has been awarded to the incumbent agent, L. Sue Scott of Kahoka. She has been the office agent since 2005. The winning bid was one of two submitted, and no return to the state was included in the bid.
The Mayfield Group, LLC has been named as the agent for the Viburnum License Office. The company is associated with the incumbent agent, Lance Mayfield, who has been the office agent since 1995. Mayfield submitted the only bid. The office is at #2 Viburnum Center, and no return to the state was included in the bid.
Details about any changes in office operations, if any, will be announced by the agents.
Although Gov. Nixon authorized the Missouri Department of Revenue to implement the new bidding system in January, it didn't become part of state law until legislation was signed by the Governor this past summer. The new law was overwhelmingly approved by both Republican and Democratic members of the Missouri Legislature.
Of the 138 offices awarded so far, 77 have gone to incumbents or been awarded to relatives or groups associated with incumbent agents. Sixty-one of the offices have been awarded to new agents. Of the 183 total offices, bidding has closed on 181, and two remain open. For a list of winning bidders for license offices, please go to http://oa.mo.gov/purch/awardedfeeoffices.pdf.
Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, noted what criteria are evaluated by the department when office bids are considered.
"The department evaluates each bid carefully, even if there is just one bid for an office," she said. "But no matter how many bids there are, the department looks for measures to improve customer service, the experience of a potential agent, and whether the office location is a secure and accessible one."
All local license offices provide services that are overseen by the Department of Revenue, but each office is operated by an independent contractor. Transactions that are conducted at these offices include the issuance and renewal of driver licenses, issuance of titles for motor vehicles, and the issuance and renewal of registration for motor vehicles, boats and outboard motors.

Defensive Patent License: A Solution To Patent Problems... Or Just A Way To Highlight Them?
from the and-shouldn't-it-be-league dept
And while some other companies are considering using Twitter's IPA -- which it's released publicly for others to use -- it's still a single-company solution. One alternative that focused on a bunch of companies working together was Paul Graham's Patent Pledge which lets companies pledge that they won't use software patents against companies with less than 25 people. A bunch of startups have signed on. It's a nice idea, but the wrong target. The companies willing to sign such a pledge tend to be the ones who wouldn't use their patents offensively anyway.
This week, another potential option was announced too: the Defensive Patent Licence (DPL), which basically requires those who sign up to pledge all of their patents to be covered by the DPL. The way it works is any company that signs on to the DPL cannot assert its patents against any other DPL member. In some ways, it seems like the "L" in DPL would be better as "league" rather than license, since the key aspect is that anyone who does this is effectively in agreement with everyone else in the DPL.
Of course, there's a bit of game theory at work here. You might think that bigger companies would never join the DPL -- and to some extent that's clearly an issue. However, remember, that the big guys may want to avoid lawsuits from patents under the DPL too... but the only way to do so would be to join, at which point they'd have to effectively license all their patents to all other members.
Jason Schultz and Jennifer Urban, the professors responsible for putting this together, have an interesting research paper on the concept that's worth reading.
In many ways, this is an attempt to use the "benefits" of a system like, for example, Intellectual Ventures, without the soul-sucking evilness part. How well it works will very much depend on who takes part. Though, a big issue is that trolls will clearly stay out of it, and they remain one of the central problems with the patent system.
In the end, it seems like all these different ideas are really mostly useful for one key thing: highlighting the many, many, many ways in which current patent system is totally screwed up.

Student Ambassadors
The Chipola College Student Ambassadors represent Chipola at high school activities and various civic organization meetings, as well as assist in hosting events for high school students at the college. Among these events are Chipola's Annual Senior Day and its Senior Leadership Conference.
The Student Ambassadors are also responsible for the recruitment of new Chipola College students from across Chipola's five county district. This is done through high school visits and the events hosted on the immediate campus.
Student Ambassadors consist of area high school graduates who are exceptional leaders both on and off the campus. Applicants are selected based on their leadership ability, creativity, and a minimum high school GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. These students must then excel in the rigorous interview process held during the summer . Members of Ambassadors must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 in their college courses in order to satisfy their eligibility.
Although the requirements and labor may seem quite overwhelming, being a Student Ambassador does not mean all work and no play. We have a great time doing what we do, and we always look forward to our next scheduled activity.

Duchene's last-second OT goal lifts Avs past Sharksby Rick Sadowski
DENVER – It's a good thing for the Colorado Avalanche that Matt Duchene didn't waste as much as a nanosecond before knocking the puck into the net in overtime Sunday at the Pepsi Center.
Just as the extra session was set to expire, Duchene deposited the puck over San Jose Sharks goalie Antti Niemi's left shoulder with two-tenths of a second remaining to give the Avalanche a 3-2 win.
It took a video review to confirm the puck crossed the goal line before the final buzzer went off, so the Avalanche and Sharks had to wait a bit before they could exit the ice.
"It feels awesome," said Duchene, who scored a first-period power-play goal. "I didn't think it was going to count. I know the buzzer here sometimes is a little late. Obviously you're real excited at first, but holding back a bit in case it doesn't count. I was just in the right place at the right time. I didn't know (the goal counted) until they showed it on the Jumbotron. It just shows you have to play for the full 65 (minutes) sometimes, or 64.8."
The Avalanche called time with 11.2 seconds left after Niemi made a save against PA Parenteau, setting up a faceoff in the Sharks end. Duchene won the draw against Joe Pavelski, and defenseman Jan Hejda passed to Parenteau for a shot that ricocheted off Pavelski.
"PA is such a good quarterback with the puck out there," Duchene said. "He makes things happen. I was in the right place at the right time. I probably almost had the least amount to do with it until the end. It feels good and it's a big win for us. The puck jumped out and I was able to get a stick on it. I can't say I aimed it and I can't say I meant to do it."
Parenteau, who also set up Duchene's first goal with a nifty pass, was confident the goal would count.
"I wasn't sure how much time was left when I shot," said Parenteau, who also set up Duchene's first goal and has a career-best six-game point-scoring streak that includes two goals and eight assists. "I got all of it on that shot and he was quick on the rebound. I thought it was going to be good, but you never know."
Niemi, who faced 42 shots – seven in overtime – had a feeling it was a good goal.
"Yeah, because I thought I heard the horn after (the puck) was already by me," he said. "But then they wanted to check it, so I hoped for the best."
Said Sharks coach Todd McLellan: "We can look and analyze that a hundred times if we want. It hits (Pavelski) in the chest, falls right on the guy's tape and he puts it in the net."
The Sharks clawed back from a 2-0 deficit to tie the game with 3:25 left in the third period when Logan Couture converted a pass from Joe Thornton, who kept Avalanche defenseman Matt Hunwick's clear around the boards from exiting the zone. Couture beat goalie Semyon Varlamov (36 saves) high to the glove side.
"The d-man kind of rimmed it and I saw (Couture) just spinning and he's been shooting the puck great, so I hit it and he did the rest," Thornton said.
While the Avalanche were coming off an emotional 6-2 win against Chicago on Friday that handed the Blackhawks their first regulation loss in 25 games this season, the Sharks were trying to rebound from a deflating 4-3 overtime loss at home to St. Louis on Saturday. Niemi was pulled in the third period of that game after the Sharks squandered a 3-1 lead.
"Mixed emotions," McLellan said of Sunday's defeat. "To scramble back and fight back on the road down two (goals) is nice. The way it ends, with (less than a second left) and you don't get a chance at the shootout, that's a little bit disappointing."
Ryan O'Reilly gave the Avalanche a 2-0 lead at 6:58 of the second period, but the Sharks answered with 39.1 seconds remaining on a goal by Patrick Marleau – the 400th of his NHL career -- after the Avalanche iced the puck two times in a row.
O'Reilly scored shortly after the Avalanche killed off a Sharks power play during which Varlamov made seven saves. Aaron Palushaj carried the puck into the Sharks end and passed to O'Reilly cutting to the net.
"We attacked with speed, and that's our game," O'Reilly said.
Duchene scored the lone first-period goal on a power play at 6:47. It was the Avalanche's third power-play goal in two games after they went 0-for-12 with the man advantage in the previous five games.
"Dutchie had a real good game. He was flying all over the ice," Avalanche coach Joe Sacco said. "He used his speed very effectively and was challenging their 'D' wide and taking it to the net."
Both teams reached the halfway point in the 48-game season. The Sharks are 11-7-6 and the Avalanche are 10-10-4; Colorado hasn't been above .500 since winning two of its first three games.
"Everything is within reach now," Avalanche coach Joe Sacco said of the playoff race. "I like the fact that our team is coming to form. We're healthy again and I think we can be a pretty good team."

I had never taken a city skyline photo at twilight so I had to try this. I set up my tripod and started shooting as the sun went down ...only problem was most building lights were still off. It occurred to me that most folks were still on their way from work. So I had to wait a little longer than I wanted to get a shot with more lights on.

Gluten-Free Julekake Norwegian Christmas Bread Recipe
Every family has its own combination of holiday traditions, usually including its fair share of special recipes for holiday sweets. When I was growing up, we often made potato salad, a carrot apple salad with raisins (haroset- a long story) and deviled eggs for holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it never occurred to me that when I grew up and got married, I'd get the chance to share in an extra wealth of traditions. A few years back when we were visiting DH's family around Christmas time, DFIL was about to make his famous Norwegian Christmas Bread for the family when all of a sudden he paused, and turned to me. "Is there a way we could make this gluten-free?" he asked. I wasn't quite sure how to answer the challenge, especially since I didn't have all my bread flours with me. Luckily the local King Soopers grocery store carried Bob's Red Mill Wonderful GF Sandwich Bread mix- and it occurred to us to combine FIL's family recipe with the instructions for the bread and see what happened. Well, what happened was DELICIOUS! The bread mix had always been reliable, but the flavors had never excited me that much. Combined with the candied peel and fruit mix, a generous dose of raisins and freshly ground cardamom, it was like a whole different bread mix. The cinnamon sugar topping was the perfect note, adding a satisfying cinnamon coat to the loaf. The experiment was pronounced a success, and I was thrilled to be able to have a slice of my very own GF Christmas bread while the family enjoyed their regular Christmas bread slices for breakfast the next morning. DH can personally eat his way through several loaves a season, so I think it was a matter of some urgency that I learn the secret of the family Christmas bread. Actually, the first year we lived in Japan DH was depressed to be missing out on Christmas bread on the holidays- so his parents actually mailed him some freshly made Christmas bread! That may be the most expensive bread ever made- but DH was thrilled. The next year I had friends living in Yokohama that invited me to shop at their commisary- I stocked up on fruitcake mix specifically to make this bread! DFIL still remembers his mother making the bread for them around the Christmas season on the Wisconsin farm he grew up. DH has so many memories of Christmas bread around the holiday season that whenever one is baking in the oven he exclaims joyously that "It smells like Christmas!" And now DH and I can enjoy our own Christmas holidays with a slice of gluten free Christmas bread, also known as Julekake. Someday hopefully we'll even introduce our child, gluten-free or otherwise, to this recipe so the tradition can continue! DFIL says the secret is to use freshly ground cardamom. He usually buys the whole pods at Whole Foods and uses about 1/2 cup of pods grinding the cardamom fresh for each recipe. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? And the cardamom really does seem to be the magical ingredient in this recipe.
I know the holidays are over now… *sniff* but what is your favorite family tradition for the holidays, in the kitchen or otherwise? Any gluten Christmas treats you've converted to be gluten-free? Please share in the comments!

Hey do you know how when you go to a search engine. And when you check the search box it list the previous search words. I was wondering what is that called and how do you get rid of it. I know the program History Kill is pretty good but do you know of any freeware.
