{"text": "Greetings, friends. This is everything you need for weekly fantasy football waivers. Do yourself — and me! — a favor and check the “Heads Up” (explanations) before dropping in your waiver question.\nIf you’re still drafting, jump on over to our draft kit and the customizable cheat sheet. Good luck!\nHEADS UP\n- Players must be under 60% rostered on Yahoo\n- Players are listed in order of preference — I’ll often prioritize potential upside over immediate middling production\n- No FAB suggestions: It varies wildly by league tendencies and is always relative (ex: if you lost your RB1 to injury and there is a clear backup, you’re going to be more aggressive)\n- Streaming QB and TE are grouped together— their rankings might change slightly once projections/ranks run\n- Tiers! You’ll see breaks at Running Back and Wide Receiver. They show similarly grouped players if you like one a bit more than I do.\n- Emojis\n- 😤 = I Tried to Tell Ya — players included for several weeks (not much more to add if you don’t want them)\n- 🧐 = Check if Dropped — players whose managers might have cut for other needs or they’re simply impatient\n- 😒 = Meh — don’t see long-term upside (possible temporary fill-in/mediocre starter if needed)\nWORRY REPORT\nMore DUCKS 🦆 (1-5) = More Concern (woo-hoo!)\nEgg 🥚 = 1/2… or about to birth a new concern duck\n- Matthew Stafford, LAR 🦆🥚 — Stafford played through the elbow discomfort and underwent a procedure this offseason to help the pain, but he’s been on a “pitch count” of sorts. If the Rams have Stafford throwing it 35-40+ times a game, the aftereffect will be the issue, which could lead to missed games or more team rushing.\n- Trey Lance, SF 🦆 — With Jimmy Garoppolo unexpectedly back, the 49ers might not have patience if Lance starts 1-3 with more interceptions than touchdowns.\n- Cam Akers, LAR 🦆🥚 — This feels a bit Belichick-ian for the reports, as people covering the team have mentioned Akers is running well with Darrell Henderson. The Rams gave Akers bellcow work after he came back in a ridiculously short amount of time, and it was with the playoffs and Super Bowl on the line. I still believe he’s the clear lead.\n- Josh Jacobs, LV 🦆🦆🥚 — Josh McDaniels has visions for everyone in the backfield and Jacobs’ doesn’t include much passing game work.\n- Antonio Gibson, WSH 🦆🦆 — Brian Robinson is out at least four weeks. If Gibson regains the coaching staff’s faith, he could get back inside the Top 20.\n- David Montgomery, CHI 🦆🦆🦆 — I’m a believer in Khalil Herbert, who showed last year he could handle the load if Montgomery missed time. With reports of split work and/or Herbert fitting better, concern is warranted.\n- Breece Hall, NYJ 🦆🦆 — While the Jets could copy the Broncos’ usage pattern from 2021, that’s not the end of the world with both finishing in the Top 20.\n- Diontae Johnson, PIT 🦆🦆 — The injury sounds minor, but Mitch Trubisky could spread the ball around more than Ben Roethlisberger did, especially with George Pickens on the roster.\n- Jaylen Waddle, MIA 🦆 — Reports are the injury is no longer a concern, and that was the only reason to worry, as Waddle could outperform Tyreek Hill and it wouldn’t be a shock.\n- Allen Lazard, GB 🦆🦆 — Mysterious injury, and there are quite a few options for Aaron Rodgers. That said, Lazard already has Rodgers’ eye, especially in the end zone.\n- Kadarius Toney, NYG 🦆🦆🦆 — Can’t stay healthy. Still the most dynamic receiver for the Giants.\n- Zach Ertz, ARI 🦆 — If healthy, should pick up where he left off, but the injury raises an eyebrow.\n- Brevin Jordan, HOU 🦆🦆🦆🥚 — Still has a chance to be Davis Mills’ second target, but O.J. Howard is a superior blocker, which could take snaps away. Frustrating.\nSTREAMING QUARTERBACK RANKINGS\nTop Streamers\nIf You’re Needy\nWAIVER WIRE RUNNING BACK RANKS\n- Khalil Herbert, CHI — As mentioned in the worry section, Herbert is a nice talent with high potential. He should be in the Tony Pollard conversation.\n- Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis, BAL — With Kenyan Drake signed, this could be a short-lived experience. If you don’t need a Week 1 starter, I’d stash Drake for the upside over Davis. Additionally, J.K. Dobbins should take over when 100%, but that might take all of September. Drake and Davis are worth the gamble for RB2 value as long as either is the starter… no matter how angry Davis (and/or Drake) made you last year… which is certainly a possibility again.\n- Kenneth Gainwell, PHI — Whether Miles Sanders or Boston Scott is the lead, Gainwell is the constant and in a pass-catching role with weekly Flex value and Top 20 upside.\n- Jeff Wilson, SF — If Elijah Mitchell isn’t ready for Week 1, enter Wilson, who has No. 1 upside and plenty of risk (if it’s not him).\n- James Robinson, JAX — Robinson is apparently ready for Week 1, and there is talk he’s the “starter,” but in Doug Pederson’s offense, roles don’t mean as much as production. Travis Etienne is the better option, but Robinson is worth stashing while seeing how he looks.\n- Raheem Mostert, MIA — Backfield could be a full-blown committee, but a stash on Mostert is warranted on the chance he leads the group. Also, never forget that he almost had a surfing scholarship to college.\n- Rachaad White, TB — The Buccaneers want to ease off Leonard Fournette some, White is a good pass-catcher, and he would be the lead over Giovani Bernard.\n- Jaylen Warren, PIT — Steps up behind Najee Harris, who is dealing with offseason Lisfranc issues, and Mike Tomlin prefers to lean on a primary back.\n- J.D. McKissic, WSH — Obviously, McKissic is a Half and Full-PPR play who has some Flex appeal.\n- Jamaal Williams, DET — Williams is replacement level, but D’Andre Swift has missed time, and the Lions have turned to Williams before — he’s put up RB2 numbers when needed.\n- Eno Benjamin, ARI — Likely similar to Gainwell in that his role wouldn’t change much if James Conner missed time — Williams would take the lead.\nSony Michel, LAC 😒 — Joshua Kelley got some buzz and Isaiah Spiller is a long-term play, but if Austin Ekeler got hurt, Michel would be the Chargers lead option, currently.\n- Boston Scott, PHI — If Sanders can’t go, Scott has provided RB2 value with RB1 upside in the past.\n- Rex Burkhead, HOU — You’re welcome to your Dameon Pierce shares, but Burkhead is the complement, could see more passing-game work than Pierce and have RB2 value if Pierce got hurt.\n- Zamir White, LV — High-end backup. White could be the lead with a Jacobs injury, or he could begin pushing Jacobs aside altogether.\n- Travis Homer, SEA — Until Ken Walker returns, Rashaad Penny is the clear lead, but Homer has a slight edge on DeeJay Dallas for weekly use and potential lead work if Penny missed time.\n- Jerick McKinnon, KC 🧐 — The Chiefs like McKinnon, who has McKissic-like appeal… on a better offense.\n- Damien Williams, ATL 😒 — Currently, Williams is the lead for the timeshare with Patterson, but it’s a mediocre ceiling.\nIsiah Pacheco, KC — Pacheco flashed plenty in the preseason and might make Ronald Jones a castoff, but for now, he’s an upside stash.\n- Dontrell Hilliard, TEN — Hilliard has the edge on being the “next man up” if Derrick Henry got hurt again.\n- Tyrion Davis-Price, SF — More of the long-term play if Mitchell misses time, Davis-Price is the style of running back the 49ers prefer.\n- Ameer Abdullah, LV — If Abdullah is truly McDaniels’ “new James White,” we know what that can bring.\n- Tyler Allgeier, ATL — Williams is next up as of now, but Allgeier has more upside and could push Williams aside to be a one-two punch with Cordarrelle Patterson.\n- Matt Breida, NYG — If Saquon Barkley gets hurt, Breida is up but likely shares with Gary Brightwell and others in a bleh offense.\nBE PATIENT — LONG TERM UPSIDE STASH\n(Might be over 60% rostered — try not to drop them)\nTyler Allgeier, ATL; James Cook, BUF; Samaje Perine, CIN; Jerome Ford, CLE; Snoop Conner, JAX; Isiah Pacheco, KC; Isaiah Spiller, LAC; Zamir White, LV; Jaylen Warren, PIT; Tyrion Davis-Price, SF; Jordan Mason, SF; Rachaad White, TB; Hasaan Haskins, TEN; Brian Robinson, WSH\nDUMPSVILLE (listed in the order I’d drop)\n- Chuba Hubbard, CAR — If needed, as D’Onta Foreman appears more in the lead but what will likely be a timeshare anyway.\nWAIVER WIRE WIDE RECEIVER RANKS\n- D.J. Chark, DET — Until Jameson Williams is back, Chark is a top-two receiver with Amon-Ra St. Brown. It wasn’t long ago that Chark was a Top 20 receiver overall.\n- Tyler Boyd, CIN — What?! Boyd was a WR3 last year with eight double-digit scores. Sure, you don’t want to start him with Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins healthy, but if either missed time… WR2 upside is waiting.\n- Marquez Valdes-Scantling, KC — MVS has a top-two position with JuJu Smith-Schuster, giving him major upside as the main deep option.\n- Alec Pierce, IND — Pierce is in the conversation for the most-valuable rookie receiver. Yes, the odds are with Drake London and even a few others, but as Matt Ryan’s potential No. 2, Pierce could post a DeVonta Smith-like rookie season.\n- Treylon Burks, TEN — Despite his health and inconsistencies, Burks has real high-end ability as a receiver. As I covered during the draft and this preseason, Burks could make a bigger impact in 2023 if he comes along slowly, but there is still hope he makes a WR3 impact in 2022.\n- Jalen Tolbert, DAL — With Michael Gallup out to start the year, Tolbert — profiling similarly to Gallup — can start alongside CeeDee Lamb and bring WR3 value.\n- Nico Collins, HOU — Collins is a big-play threat and potential No. 2 for Davis Mills across from Brandin Cooks. A Top 40 finish isn’t out of the equation.\n- Jahan Dotson, WSH — Dotson spent more time outside than in the slot, where Curtis Samuel played nearly all of his preseason snaps. That potentially points to Dotson already being above Samuel. Even if not, Dotson’s ability should push him past Samuel eventually.\n- Garrett Wilson, NYJ — Extremely-talented, Wilson should move past Corey Davis with the ease in which he moves past coverage.\n- Christian Watson, GB 🧐 — The Packers receiver corps has been all the talk this preseason, but Watson missed most with an injury. He could take a few weeks to move up the depth chart and into a Top 2-3 role, but once there, Watson has WR3 potential and then some.\n- Isaiah McKenzie, BUF — The new slot option for the Bills, McKenzie’s injury might limit his snaps early in the season with Jamison Crowder working in. However, reports had McKenzie leaping Crowder on the depth chart, and the Bills have provided three receivers with value in past years.\n- Romeo Doubs, GB — Doubs had his time as the most-hyped Packers receiver this preseason. He’s worthy of a stash, but the highest ceiling is with Watson.\n- Rondale Moore, ARI — With DeAndre Hopkins out six weeks, Moore has post-hype sleeper potential.\n- Sammy Watkins, GB — Lazard has the leg up on the No. 1 role, but he’s dealing with an injury, and Watkins could step in… at least for Week 1.\n- DeVante Parker, NE 😒 — Atop the depth chart, healthy, more upside than Jakobi Meyers.\n- Kenny Golladay, NYG 😒 — Yes, Golladay had some mysterious procedure, and he doesn’t mesh well with Daniel Jones, but even Devin Funchess had 112-63-840-8 for WR20 in 2017. Honestly, I don’t expect it, but if Golladay shows any sign of his pre-injuries (plural) ability, he could be the No. 1 for the Giants, and he’s a free stash.\n- Marvin Jones, JAX 😒 — If Trevor Lawrence takes a bit step forward and throws for 4000/25 or more, Christian Kirk isn’t going to be the only beneficiary.\n- Robbie Anderson, CAR — Anderson finished one spot behind D.J. Moore as WR23 two years ago. Baker Mayfield is enough of an improvement to stash Anderson for WR3 potential.\n- Jarvis Landry, NO — If Michael Thomas isn’t ready to go, Landry is the vet with rookie Chris Olave forming the top two options for Jameis Winston.\n- Joshua Palmer, LAC — Not only could Palmer have deeper-league value with the right matchup, his ceiling is inside the Top 20 if Keenan Allen or Mike Williams missed time.\n- Van Jefferson, LAR 🧐 — Dealing with an injury, yet we know the potential of the Rams No. 3 receiver, especially if that opportunity turned into a top two role due to someone else’s injury (though he could miss Week 1 with his own injury).\n- Mecole Hardman, KC — Hardman sits behind JJSS and MVS, but he still carries stash potential if either were to get hurt or struggle to find consistency.\n- Parris Campbell, IND 🧐 — Don’t forget about Campbell with the shiny new toy, Pierce, on the roster. Campbell had people whispering WR3/4 potential when he was a rookie.\n- KJ Hamler, DEN — All the focus is on Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, and rightfully so, but don’t forget about Hamler and his skills. He’s in the No. 3 receiver conversation with the likes of Van Jefferson and would be a highly-coveted waiver grab if someone got hurt.\nNelson Agholor, NE 😒 — Pure bench stash in deeper leagues in case Parker bombs, as Agholor saw a decent amount of preseason buzz from Patriots reporters.\n- Wan’Dale Robinson, NYG — Toney can’t stay healthy, Golladay can’t get in sync with Daniel Jones, Sterling Shepard is returning from an Achilles injury, and Robinson has some Toney to his game, but is diminutive.\n- Velus Jones, CHI — While no one on the Bears might have receiving value after Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, Jones — even though he’s exceptionally old for a rookie — has the potential to be the underneath, reliable option for Justin Fields.\nBE PATIENT — LONG TERM UPSIDE STASH\n(Might be over 60% rostered — try not to drop them)\nIsaiah McKenzie, BUF; Terrace Marshall, CAR; David Bell, CLE; Jalen Tolbert, DAL; KJ Hamler, DEN; Jameson Williams, DET; Christian Watson, GB; Romeo Doubs, GB; Nico Collins, HOU; Alec Pierce, IND; Skyy Moore, KC; Joshua Palmer, LAC; Van Jefferson, LAR; K.J. Osborn, MIN; Wan’Dale Robinson, NYG; Danny Gray, SF; Treylon Burks, TEN; Jahan Dotson, WSH\nDUMPSVILLE (listed in the order I’d drop)\n- Devin Duvernay, BAL — Doesn’t have the No. 2 receiver role locked in ahead of Tylan Wallace and James Proche (though, maybe the edge) but even so, hard to find a third useful option, especially when Isaiah Likely looks to be the “three.”\nWAIVER WIRE TIGHT ENDS\nTop Streamers\nIf You’re Needy\nSTREAMING DST RANKINGS\n- TEN vs NYG\n- CIN vs PIT\n- CLE at CAR\n- MIA vs NE\n- JAX at WSH\n- CAR vs CLE\n- WSH vs JAX\n- PHI at DET\n- KC at ARI\n(Photo by Justin Casterline/Getty Images)"}

Cerati, 55, died on Thursday, four years after a stroke put him in a coma.\nThousands of people gathered in the Argentine capital to mourn shortly after news that the former lead singer of the rock band Soda Stereo had died. They sang the group's songs, prayed and delivered flowers in a line that stretched for 15 city blocks. Fans continued to arrive Friday and joined the procession to the cemetery in the heavy rain.\nThe fans, many in their 20s and 30s, waved flags, wore T-shirts with Cerati's image and climbed up trees to get a better view of the cortege. Some threw flowers at the roof of the hearse, others tried to see inside the windows for a look at the coffin.\nClose friends, including musician and former Soda Stereo band member Hector \"Zeta\" Bosio, were among those at the funeral. Local TV showed images of Cerati's mother, Lilian Clark, smiling faintly and giving a thumb's up as she left the cemetery.. until he suffered a stroke after a 2010 performance in Venezuela."}

{"text": "WASHINGTON (Jul. 13)\nSponsors of the Wagner-Rogers bill for admission of 20,000 refugee children from Germany have all but thrown up the sponge and admitted that the bill cannot pass at this session.\nDesperate efforts are being made by the Society of Friends (Quakers) to rally support for the measure but it is conceded off the House and Senate floors that the exclusionist forces have the upper hand. Neither immigration committee favors the bill. The Senate Immigration Committee reported it so emasculated, by providing that such children be made part of the German quota, that Senator Wagner will have none of it.\nThe House Immigration Committee has again scheduled an executive meeting on the bill to take place next week. Representative Caroline O’Day of New York is working strenuously in the measure’s behalf. Seven radical exclusionist members of the committee, however, have stated flatly they are opposed to the bill in any way, shape or form.\nMrs. O’Day said that while there is an overwhelming amount of sympathy outside of Congress for the bill, there is a lamentable lack of interest in it in the House and Senate.\nRepresentative Kramer of California, it is reported, while outwardly favorable toward the bill, actually is opposed to it. He will vote to report it out, only if he is confident the measure will fail. Any real likelihood that it would pass, will find him opposing it.\nMrs. O’Day said she was “heartsick” at the attitude of these members of Congress who let the unemployment problem of the United States deter them from approving the humanitarian move to aid the suffering children of Germany and Austria. A member of the immigration committee bitterly assailed “those persons who wrap themselves in super-Americanism and encourage intolerance.”\nThe indications are the bill never will emerge from the House committee unless the Senate passes it first. The Senate measure has been ordered reported out but Senator King of Utah is holding it up at the expressed wish of Senator Wagner. House leaders say there is no use going ahead with the bill there unless they can be shown the measure can withstand a threatened filibuster by Senator Reynolds of North Carolina."}
{"text": "I woke up this morning at 6:45, all set to do some yoga and shower before work (see goals over in the sidebar. Showering daily isn’t listed as a goal, but it’s something I continue to strive for). I walked from the bedroom into the hallway and was about knocked over by the heat. Yes, the HEAT. It is probably 80 degrees in the living room. The thermostat is set at 62. What the crap is going on?\nWhatever it is, it’s preventing me from doing yoga (I got a little woozy just being in that room, and the other television set/DVD player is in the bedroom, where my beloved now reposes) and it’s not cool. So, because I cannot go back to sleep once I wake up and have something on my mind, I give you New Year’s Eve Pictures, which are cool.\n(Matt & Wade.

{"text": "Top Gear America hosts.\nL to R: Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust, and Rutledge Wood.\nI have to say, this was just a fun experience, even if it was just a short-lived moment.\nFirst, some background information. As many of my readers know, my son is high-functioning autistic/Asperger’s Syndrome. This means that he will obsess about certain topics and learn everything and anything about those topics. His most recent obsession–which I suspect will be a long-term one, is that he’s obsessed with cars. He’s always been a fan of cars, but what really put it over the top most recently is the discovery of the show, “Top Gear”. He watches the episodes of both the UK and US versions over and over and over, absorbing every last nuance and detail said about the cars. Half the time, I think I have a miniature Jeremy Clarkson talking around the house. Nonetheless, he loves both shows equally, and loves to quote the hosts, and drool over the exotic cars they’ll have on the program. This served my son well when about a month ago, we came upon a group of Lamborghini owners in our town doing a photo shoot for an enthusiast’s magazine. He was able to “talk shop” with the owners, showing them he knew all the engine specs and how to compare the performance of the Lamborghini models against other models.\nSo, in other words, my kid knows his cars.\nThis afternoon, he told me that on his way home from school, at a specific intersection, he saw a red Lambo and an orange MacLaren, both with Top Gear license plates, and he swore he saw two of the co-hosts of Top Gear America, Tanner Foust and Adam Ferrara, plus a camera crew. My husband and I thought that maybe–just maybe–my son was joking with us, but he swore up and down that he knew what he saw. He even named the specific models (which I can’t remember or keep up with).\nHow did we confirm that he saw what he saw? I immediately went to Twitter, and…well, I tweeted Tanner and Adam to see if they’d respond. Why not? It was worth a shot.\nAbout 15-20 minutes after I sent out my initial tweet (I sent a few follow-up ones to explain about my son–what the heck, right?), I got these gems:\nWOW! It WAS them! When I showed the Twitter responses to my son, he flipped out in excitement. He was SOOOOO happy and amazed that BOTH Tanner Foust and Adam Ferrara wrote back!\nI mean, what are the odds of celebrities writing back, even on Twitter? Tanner and Adam, if you are reading this, you made a little boy very happy, to say the least. He was sorry that he missed Rutledge Wood who was most likely in that Viper. We’ll definitely be watching even more than ever to see if we can discover any footage at that gas station on the show.\nThis whole incident is why I love Twitter. It’s an example of social media at its best. For making initial connections with people of all backgrounds, it’s top notch…or should I say, Top Gear.\nWhat a delightful story, and how wonderful of Tanner and Adam to respond. Thanks for sharing it. Twitter is able to break down barriers, and we sure need more of that. Drew’s automotive knowledge is indeed extensive and inspiring."}

{"text": "Mad in America.\nIn this sense, as I understand it, “mind medicine” would stand in contrast with “body medicine”, either because the contagion isn’t so unilateral (see the rise of Chinese medicine or acupuncture in Europe) or because nobody thinks that the spread of western ideas about cancer or AIDS isn’t a good thing. Anyway, the paper presents a good case of contagion of ideas – and even puts it on trial. The two aspects are of interest, although a bit confused.\nThe ways the world goes mad\nThe paper relies heavily on a recent and documented example, showing how « anorexia » spread in Hong Kong after a tragic case where the press reported that a young, very thin girl had died of “anorexia”. “Food refusal had a particular expression and meaning in Hong Kong” and “unlike American anorexics, most of (the) patients did not intentionally diet nor did they express a fear of becoming fat”. It would almost be a case of contagion from a single case: after the event caught the press attention, doctors saw more patients reporting or showing « western » symptoms of anorexia. « By 2007 about 90 percent of the anorexics …treated reported fat phobia. New patients appeared to be increasingly conforming their experience of anorexia to the Western version of the disease. ».\nIronically, all the mental illnesses categories of anorexia, hysteria, schizophrenia are said to be « American » – perhaps the author signs a bit too quickly of the fact that ideas are shaped by one own’s culture.\nThe case is certainly very interesting, and well chosen. « Eating disorders » are multi-faceted, and their varieties, the real nature of the pathology, their mix with normative aspects of bodily appearance, their significance are still objects of inquiry. Still, the shift between the level of symptoms (food starvation), the mental attitudes of patients (fat phobia) doesn’t help seeing whether :\nany person who starves herself (or himself) is an anorexic,\nany person who starves herself (or himself) has a form of anorexia (there is no anorexia, but just family resemblances between cultural expressions of anorexia)\nonly persons who starve themselves because of fat phobia are anorexic\npersons who starve themselves and are ready to believe that this is because of fat phobia become real anorexic\npersons who starve themselves and are ready to believe that this is because of fat phobia are « fake » anorexic.\nThere is a « loop » : people who starve themselves come to believe they are anorexic and they become « real » anorexic.\nI guess one needs to be clear on what is at stake, before putting forward a thesis on the “westernization of mental illnesses”.\nThe spirits do better\nThe paper goes on showing why this spreading of ideas is not for the best. A bit of « colonial bad conscience » pervades the whole paper, but doesn’t go without arguments.\nHere, the case study is schizophernic (or schizophrenic-like) people –a case which is quite different from anorexia, at least because its neurological aspects are now well established. Anyway, the focus here is on treatment. The trouble comes here from the fact that the World Health Organization established, after a research over the course of 30 years,.”\nTwo explanations are offered:\nFirst, spirit possession is more « democratic »: anybody « violating social norms — from a sister lashing out at her brother to someone beset by psychotic delusions » is possessed, and thus possession doesn’t result in stigmatisation and exclusion. (The Freudian idea that we are all perverse must thus be a effective one !). But here, the boundary between health and illness is cancelled, and it’s not clear that it supports the idea that different conceptions of illness have different effects.\nSecond, people would universally have tendency to « essentialize » the biological and thus, western biological theories of mental illness (reducing them to brain chemistry disorders) tends to make the « mad » essentially (and permanently) mad, while traditional conceptions of spirit possession makes him or her only contingently (and temporarily) mad. The latter encourage a better integration of possessed people, finally helping them to be better, and reducing the frequency or intensity of their crises.\nThe paper reports experiments by Prof. Sheila Mehta, from Auburn University Montgomery in Alabama, that I hadn’t heard of – and are fairly disturbing. The hypothesis was that « biomedical explanations for mental illness might be influencing our attitudes toward the mentally ill in ways we weren’t conscious of. »\n«.” ….The experiment then called for the test subject to teach the confederate a pattern of button presses. When the confederate pushed the wrong button, the only feedback the test subject could give was a “barely discernible” to “somewhat painful” electrical shock”. At the end “Those who believed that their partner suffered a biochemical “disease like any other” increased the severity of the shocks at a faster rate than those who believed they were paired with someone who had a mental disorder caused by an event in the past.”\nDoes this effect still applies to people coming from non-western cultures ? And don’t these two explanations show that actually, some explanations (ie the spirit possession) are absolutely better than others, and not – as I believe the paper wants to show – locally and relatively better (spirit possession is good-in-Zanzibar, and brain-explanations are good-in-America) ? Any thought ?\nDan Sperber 25 January 2010 (12:49)\nI enjoyed Ophelia’s post, but have anthropological reservations about the ideas she reports and seems to agree with about spirit possession. I did my fieldwork in Southern Ethiopia, where spirit possession is quite common, I have had briefer encounters with spirit possession in Mexico, and, although it has not been the topic of my work, I do have a classical anthropological interest in it. Actually, there is a great variety of forms of spirit possession. Sometimes possession is considered an evil from which the possessed must be cured. Commonly, it is considered a personal resource, a kind of gift. Most of the time, I suppose, it is viewed ambiguously as something like both a gift and a weight. Spirit possession cults are quite commonly in the business of helping people in a variety of ways. Curing people with psychiatric illnesses is certainly not a common, let alone a typical way in which they help people. If a comparison is to be made with Western practices, it should be with psychoanalysis rather than with psychiatry. Just as you can keep a shrink forever and not aim at being cured, members of possession cult are not trying to shorten their membership. Both a shrink and a possession cult allow you to pay attention to yourself with serious encouragements that, in most cases, your family, your friends, or your neighbours wouldn’t provide. Maybe Emma Cohen, who has written an excellent book, [i]The Mind possessed[/i], on spirit possession in Brazil, might join the discussion.\nEmma Cohen 27 January 2010 (08:01)\nThe explanations for the WHO finding are interesting though apparently poorly informed by any ethnographic observation of spirit possession, much less decades of debate within anthropology about what the mental and biological bases and medical implications of possession-trance are (- this was back in the day when such things were important because researchers were actually interested in offering explanatory accounts for what they observed). Indeed, knowing a little of the ethnography and debate causes me to pause over the premise of the finding, not to mention the explanations. Are they comparing like with like in the first place? And how would they know? If they exclusively take account of behaviours, and not of the interpretations or conceptions, they’ll quickly run into difficulties. The overt behaviours of a person possessed by a spirit and the overt behaviours of a method actor, for example, can look surprisingly similar. Interpretations have got to count for something, not only for reasons of typology and appropriate comparison, but also because these interpretations have important consequences for mental health. Many ethnographers have pointed out (and this was certainly the case in the field setting where I worked also) that two possession behaviours that may appear identical to the untrained observer may actually straddle the divide (as construed by their participants) between acceptable/appropriate/healthy and unacceptable/inappropriate/’mad’. An important criterion, and a cross-culturally common one, concerns whether the identity of the possessing spirit is in some way ‘institutionalized’ within the social context in question. In the majority of religions involving possession-trance, there are conventions, rules, narratives, theologies, and so on concerning the spirits. Someone apparently possessed by a highly idiosyncratic alter-identity that doesn’t know the conventions, acts in unrecognized ways, is ‘untrainable’, unfamiliar, etc. is generally not welcome at a regular possession ceremony. Where I worked, there were at least two such people. They were called ‘crazy’. And so, possessed people can be stigmatized and ostracized too. As Dan pointed out, possession is not always a bad thing, and not always something that people seek to cure. Frequently, people seek quite the opposite – to cultivate relationships with possessing spirits. Possession and healing often go together, but the healing tends to be fairly ‘holistic’, dealing with physical, psychological, financial, marital, employment-related and other maladies and concerns. Indeed, it’s fairly common for the spirit to be conceived of as a kind of curer, physician or counsellor, not the source of problem. So, to say that possession is 1) equivalent to ‘non-Western schizophrenia’; 2) is a single thing – behaviourally and conceptually – within and between these non-Western cultural contexts; 3) is ‘democratic’/neutral/never stigmatized; 4) a form of temporary madness, or a crisis; 5) is invariably warmly received by an understanding society; 6) is something to be cured from, just seems… well, a little bit mad. (To be clear: I refer to the writers of the NYT piece, insofar as they have actually claimed this, NOT the author of this blog post!)"}

{"text": "Many days, our busy and demanding lives can often feel like too much. Work piles up, bills need to be paid, you have a fight with your partner and suddenly life consumes you. Today we discuss stress, a familiar, widespread issue with many contributing factors. It can express itself in many different forms; worry, irritability, moodiness, agitation or lack of control, just to name a few. How do you currently handle these emotions? Is it the most effective method for yourself, and the people around you? Do you wish you could just…. stress less?\nOn top of our everyday demands and challenges, expectations of our own accomplishments, achievements and milestones, burden us like no previous generation. With the simple click of a button, we judge our lives, to that of the rest of the world. Through the Internet, media and glossy magazines, we look romantically to the lives of others, to the products we don’t possess, the houses we don’t own, or the perfection that seems so easily attainable to everyone except us. And this leaves us feeling unaccomplished, dissatisfied and disappointed. And as our days are consumed trying to do it all, be it all, in order to get it all, it is no wonder that when the mortgage is overdue, or we burn the dinner, that we can feel overwhelmed, hopeless and stressed out. ‘I can’t even get dinner right!’ she/he cries.\nNot much can be done to shelter us from the world of money, beauty, advertising or perfection. Aspirational living has simply become a part of our culture. But if we begin to focus less on the outside world and more on our personal strengths, short-term goals and the things we truly value in life, we start becoming the creators of our own aspirations. Our short-term goals are measurable and authentic, and will develop into our long-term goals. And with each week, month, year, we will come to realise our triumphs. Triumphs we dictated.\nAs we continue self-reflection, and realise our strengths, it is important to evaluate the things that make us happy and acknowledge the things that we value. What makes us smile? What makes us calm? When do we feel most at peace? Exercising regularly, sleeping well or a balanced diet, are just some common examples known to counteract stress. ‘How on earth do I have time for that!?’ explains the overburdened worker. Well, you make time. You make it a priority. A person can experience greater fulfillment, productivity and enjoyment from all aspects of their life by making time for a few simple activities. Find something that balances you, and schedule this into your routine. As we all know and have experienced, in a state of stress, disarray and overwhelming chaos, intended productivity can often be counter-productive. You rush your work, make errors, and struggle to maintain good relationships with the people around you. Not being happy with your final result, and having spent most of the day fixing your mistakes, do you still not have time for that little bit of extra sleep, or the 30 minutes of exercise each day?\nUnfortunately, there can be occasions where there isn’t time for stress prevention. It can come out of the blue or be thrown upon you without a word of warning. How do we deal with this? Friends give advice such as ‘calm down’, ‘take it easy’ or ‘don’t worry about it’, and while their comforting words are valued, they fail to give direction in dealing with the stress or issue. So we try and fix it ourselves. But to manage something we haven’t taken the time to understand, can be inefficient and exhausting. So unfortunately we look to short-term solutions – Quick fixes that serve as a distraction for a small period of time. Some people over-eat, some people lash out, gamble, drink or sit there pulling their hair out, at a complete loss. We go into survival mode, do what we can to get through the day, the next, and the next. However, to continue like this would be like banging your fist on a broken television, when what we really need to do is take a look inside and find out what’s really causing the screen to fade in and out.\nFriends and loved ones are important companions in our times of need. Speaking with them can help us find clarity and perspective on the issues we face, although ultimately, only we can be the driving force for change. True understanding of oneself, through continued self-reflection and positive action, is fundamental in providing us with the skills to control our stressors. And inevitably, as our skills improve, the stress that used to override our happiness, decisions and health, will no longer factor in our lives. Roosevelt said ‘Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent’. When you let stress determine your decisions and take charge of your life, not only do you consent to feeling inferior, you encourage it. Make today the day you don’t consent.\nThere is more to life than increasing its speed. ~Mohandas K. Gandh\nRussell O’Neill\nBeFreeToday.com.au\n>."}

Very often I get inspired by old decorative objects of different peoples: from ancient Oriental murals to Russian matryoshka dolls…\nAnd there are no frames dividing between my works – they are like transitions from one tale into another, free wondering in thought and space. No wonder that people looking at my paintings raise associations of carpets. Some might desire to start a journey on a fairy-tale flying carpet that would them away from their reality, while others might wish such a colorful carpet would bring them prosperity and warmth, help them stand with both feet on the ground...\nThe sages of Tibet consider that between the ages of 17 and 70 we are at the same life stage, and that the eyes of a 69-year-old might shine just like those of a 20-year-old, all depending on our inside well-being… For me, the art should help creating this shining from inside…\nEvery time a painting is finished, moreover when it is sold, it is time to say good-bye. Separation from works is an important life lesson. It teaches me to part from things easily, to leave the old burdens behind and make room for new experiences.\nBut still I feel a strong bond with my paintings even when they start their own independent lives, just like grown-up children. It is my great hope that my babies add color and kindness to this world. It’s also my great pleasure to keep in touch with my babies, to feel their gratitude. That is why people’s feedback is so important to me."}
{"text": "Like any profession, there are tools and resources available to make your life as web designer easier. The more useful and time-saving your tools, the more time you can focus on important tasks such as coding and designing. As for me personally, any tools I come across that help me do my job quicker, better and more efficiently, I certainly save and refer back to. Here is a collection of 15 useful online tools and websites for web designers that I frequently use.\nHave a color you know you will be using in your web design project, maybe a color in the logo, but don’t know where to go from there in regards to creating the perfect color scheme for your project? Then Adobe Color CC is exactly the tool you are looking for. Adobe Color CC allows you to create and save various color schemes. Simply plugin a hex color code (for example, #0babc4) and then choose whether you would like the color scheme to be analogous, monochromatic, complementary, compound, etc etc. Extremely easy and useful.\nAs straightforward as it sounds, this Web app shows you the current size of your browser window. This can be useful in designing responsive websites.\nColor by Hailpixel is the perfect tool for finding and exploring color combinations and color tones. Simply hover your mouse across your screen in order to see and admire the never-ending variations of colors. As soon as you come across the color you like, click on it and continue searching for the next color. The app provides you with all the hex color codes you selected, which is very convenient.\nBrusheezy is the go-to place for Photoshop resources. There you will find an infinite array of Photoshop brushes, patterns, textures, PSDs and much much more – basically anything and everything Photoshop-related. All of the resources on Brusheezy are free to download and, depending on the license, free to use in your projects.\n6. Google Fonts\nThere are many font websites on the Web, but most of them you need to pay for the rights to use the fonts for commercial use. The wonderful thing about Google Fonts is that their entire catalog of fonts is free and open source, accessible to anyone for any project, both personal and commercial.\nUnsplash offers free high-resolution stock images that you can use in your web design projects. What’s great is that all the photos on Unsplash are licensed under Creative Commons Zero, meaning you can copy, modify, distribute and use them for free (including for commercial purposes), without having to ask permission from or providing attribution to the photographer or Unsplash.\n9. Iconfinder\nBased in Copenhagen, Denmark, Iconfinder works with a community of local and international icon designers. They are continuously expanding and adding to their very large collection of icons available for download. Some of their icons are free to use without permission, others are free to use with attribution to the author, and others are for sale, but for very reasonable prices (usually $1 or $2).\n10. Favicon.cc\nFavicon.cc is very convenient for it allows to you create a favicon from scratch using their online app, or by uploading an image of your own and transforming it into a favicon. Compared to other favicon generators, I find favicon.cc to be one of the best for the simple fact that it’s easy to use and the quality of the favicon is high (and not super-grainy like the favicons created by other favicon generators on the Web).\n11. Font Identifier\nDid you find an image with a beautiful font, but can’t figure out which font it is? Simply upload the image to Font Squirrel’s Font Identifier and their app will tell you the name of the font. Very easy and convenient.\nRemembering your own passwords is difficult enough, try remembering the passwords of all your clients’ websites. Mission impossible! For this I use a free app called LastPass. It is a password management tool that makes it very easy to save and manage your passwords. What’s great is that LastPass is cloud-based, so you can log in and a retrieve your passwords from wherever, whenever.\nNeed a little inspiration for your next project? Awwwards is a showcase of award-winning websites from the around the world. You can browse websites by award won (nominees, sites of the years, etc), by category (architecture, blog, ecommerce, fashion, etc), by color, and even by country.\nAnother great source for inspiration, Dribbble is a community of designers that share with each other, other fellow designers, what they are working on. The community consists of web designers, graphic designers, illustrators, logo designers, icon artists, typographers, and other creatives which share screenshots of whatever project(s) they’re working on, making it a great destination for attaining new ideas for your projects."}

{"text": "The painting The Temple of Concordia at Agrigento by the Munich architect and painter Leo von Klenze (1784–1864), recently gifted to the Nationalgalerie, is an important addition to its collection. The Nationalgalerie already holds a considerable wealth of Neoclassical works by the Berlin architect, Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781–1841); to these has now been added a major work by an important Neoclassical architect from Munich. Leo von Klenze was first and foremost an architect, but he was also a considerable draughtsman and painter. The number of paintings he left is nevertheless very small. He gave some of his large-scale architectural illustrations and town views to famous contemporaries, including Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) and Christian Daniel Rauch (1777–1857), and, indeed, his Berlin colleague, Karl Friedrich Schinkel. The painting The Temple of Concordia at Agrigento once hung in the collection of the Berlin Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius (1810–1884), to whom the artist gave it in exchange for Lepsius’ twelve-volume series of plates Denkmäler aus Aegypten und Aethiopien (Monuments of Egypt and Ethiopia), of which only a few copies were ever published.\nLepsius began his academic career as a linguist and archaeologist, but his fame spread far beyond Berlin after he was commissioned by the Prussian king to lead an expedition to Egypt from 1842 to 1845. The scientific results achieved by the “Egyptian enterprise” were considerable: Lepsius brought back almost 1,500 objects for the Neues Museum, which had recently been opened on the Museumsinsel (Museum Island), and field drawings of the artistic monuments he discovered were published in around 900 richly illustrated, large-folio plates. Leo von Klenze, for his part, had purchased examples of Egyptian art on behalf of the king of Bavaria some years earlier, and had used them to establish an important Egyptian art collection in Munich. In this context, it is not surprising that Klenze was particularly interested in Lepsius’ richly illustrated volumes of plates and offered his painting as a diplomatic gift in return for them.\nIn their endeavours, both men relied on the lively interchange between science and art: Leo von Klenze used archaeological sources to create his idealised landscape paintings, while Karl Richard Lepsius used artists and artistic media to convey the visual appearance of his archaeological discoveries.\nBy juxtaposing Lepsius’ plates and Klenze’s painting of the Temple of Concordia, the exhibition exemplifies the harmonious exchange envisioned by Friedrich Wilhelm IV when he declared the Museum Island to be “a sanctuary of art and science”.\nThe display in the temporary exhibition room includes around.\nThe new acquisition will undergo comprehensive restoration and technical art-historical examination before it goes on display.\nLast admission and ticket sales 30 minutes before closing time.\nAlte Nationalgalerie\n10,00 EUR Concessions 5,00\nBuy ticket\nMuseum Island all exhibitions\n18,00 EUR Concessions 9,00\nBuy ticket\nMuseum Pass Berlin 3 days for permanent exhibitions\n29,00 EUR Concessions 14,50\nBuy ticket"}

{"text": "Granny got a kick azz golf course\nDid you find this review helpful? Yes No Report it\nI've golfed at this private course numerous times. It used to be part of Leisure World complex until they incorporated into a city and changed the name. Now it sounds much less retirement-home-y and much more bucolic.\nRegardless, this 36-hole course offers a variety of terrain, a decent number of challenges, a pretty fair non-member price, ridiculously cheap cart-rental fees and a whole lot of old people. Needless to say that the pace of play here is plenty slow, but golf wasn't meant to be a speed sport, so that's okay.\nI normally golf the first and second nines, but I have an affinity toward the 2nd and 3rd nines as my 18. Neither course is particularly that much better, but hole 1 on the 2nd starts with a nice, long, downhill drive, a great way to start a round of 19 - a confidence builder that eventually ends in a long death march.\nFor residents, the off peak fee is around $8, and I think the guest fee is around $27. The cart fee is something in the range of $10. Everything is dirt cheap, but they're in the process of building a fancy new pro-shop facility so I'm sure prices will go up to pay for it.\nAn open-air driving range sits up across the street and sells similarly cheap buckets of balls... a great place to warm up before your round.\nDid you find this review helpful?

{"text": "tom smith \| make green bay weird \| march 2019\nWhen I last left you, I had just boarded my connecting flight in Detroit to Seattle, my final destination for the Seattle Pop Punk Festival to see perhaps The Smugglers for the last time ever. In part one I referenced the Twilight Zone and I must reference that show again because, for me, traveling to see The Smugglers without my passport after needing it to see them the last three times was a shade Twilight Zoney to me. I was disappointed to be at the Detroit airport and not have the chance to go through their weird light and sound tunnel that has a Logan's Run vibe to it.\nMy flight arrives in Seattle and I'm off to meet up with ex-Green Bay native Joe Decker. Joe has been in Seattle for a number of years now. Last time I was in Seattle was to see the Supersuckers (speaking of the Supersuckers they are playing Green Bay at the Lyric Room on Monday, March 11 as part of their 30thAnniversary Tour. They will be playing their first two albums and a country set. Dirty Deuce is opening this can't-miss show) at the Tractor Tavern. Joe was cool enough to give me a ride to my hotel (back when I normally would get a room when traveling). I used Seattle's light rail and met Joe in the city. Joe then proceeded to take me to El Chupacabra (the name of this Mexican restaurant made me think of the bands Chixdiggit and the Groovie Ghoulies). We walk in and Public Image Limited is playing on the stereo so I already like the place. I tried something I never had before and had the torta (I think my meat choice was carne asada). The torta was delicious and combined with some guacamole I was properly fueled up for the Seattle Pop Punk Fest. I would definitely eat there again.\nThe venue this fest was being held at is EL Corazon/The Funhouse. This venue has two separate rooms and eventually I learn this was two different venues combined. The third day of the Seattle Pop Punk Fest had a great lineup with a number of bands I was not too familiar with that impressed me. Some of those bands that tickled my fancy were Ol' Doris, Amsterdam Seattle, The Subjunctives, The Stand GT and the Skates. The Skates reminded me of the Jetty Boys and not just because their frontperson had the look and stage charisma of female Drew of the Jetty Boys. I would not be surprised if we all hear much more about this band in the future and I hope they get to play with the Jetty Boys sometime. I dug this club and the staff was friendly (especially how they let people meander around after the show was over). The patrons were a friendly sort also, not shocking because I didn't expect a lot of pent up hostility at a Pop Punk Fest. At this point of the night the second-to-last band, The Smugglers, is about to hit the stage. This was the first time of my four trips to see The Smugglers that they were not the headliner and I think either consciously or subconsciously they put an extra effort to rock even harder. When the headliner is the Young Fresh Fellows, any band would want to bring their A-game. The Smugglers not being the headliner caused their set to be a little shorter than the other three shows but they made up for that with a once again ferocious set of party rock 'n' roll. They had a guest star sing with them that night and that was the one and only Lisa Marr, who with her band Cub, rocked Green Bay at the Concert Cafe. Lisa sang on “Flyin' Buttress of Love.\" Lisa played on the Friday of the Seattle Pop Punk Fest and I admit I messed up by not getting to Seattle a day earlier. Not only would I have seen her perform, but I would have missed out on my close call of almost missing my connecting flight in Detroit. The next time I go to a festival I won't blow off a day of it until after I study who is playing.\nTowards the end of The Smugglers' set I got the impression they are playing like this actually could be their last show. They changed the order of what their set has been the last two years and saved a song that was usually very early in the set to be the very last song they played. If this was to be the last show by The Smugglers or the last time I see them, the song they ended with was the perfect choice. That song, which also is one of my absolute favorites by them, was “Rock 'N' Roll Was Never This Fun.\" Which is so appropriate because The Smugglers performance that night and every night I have ever seen them makes me ask the question: Has rock 'n' Roll ever been this fun? The answer may be no. I honestly could not have enjoyed their set any more than I did. Their performance of this song that night had a heaping extra helping dose of infectious urgency that really had to be experienced. I was asked by Grant Lawrence, singer of The Smugglers, later that evening to rank for him the four shows I have seen by them over the last two years. Previously, I ranked the show at Amigos in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, No. 1 and I'm leaving that show ranked at No. 1. As I said previously, that show had the feel of a show at the Concert Café in Green Bay in the '90s and that keeps it at the top spot. No. 2 would have to be the show in May of 2017 in Vancouver. BC. That show was my first time seeing them in 16 years and having The Muffs (another one of my favorite bands of all time) on the bill with Chixdiggit (who also have a 5-star rating from me) and Needles//Pins, who opened the show, really sweetened the pot. This was also my first time in Vancouver and let me put it this way, that is a city that is really easy to fall in love with. No. 3 is the show in Seattle as I just said they were on fire and on a mission that night and if that would be their Swan Song it couldn't have been more epic. No. 4: The show at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, Ontario. This show is ranked No. 4 but don't let that make you think it's some redheaded stepchild in this ranking. That show was a total blast and the only show of the four that they played possibly my favorite song by them, “Pick 'Em up Truck.\" I even got to see them practice it at the soundcheck. I must confess, I kind of bugged them to do this song and they were cool enough to accommodate their biggest fan from Wisconsin. I loved hanging out on Queen Street before and after their show in Toronto. They also had a great lineup of openers. Duotang (who I hadn't seen since they played the Concert Café), The New Enchanters (who blew me away) and another great set from Needles//Pins.\nUp next in Seattle was the Young Fresh Fellows. If the RNRHOF wasn't total bunk, the YFF would have been inducted years ago and their performance in Seattle proved this point with ease. One of my biggest regrets in life is missing them the one time they played in Green Bay at the Riverside Ballroom with the Red Hot Chile Peppers in 1989. Needless to say, I was in music nirvana during their set. The last time I enjoyed a band this much that I was seeing for the first time, who I had been wanting to see since the '80s, was Redd Kross in Milwaukee at the Cactus Club a couple of years ago. That is the highest compliment I can pay a band for a live performance. I'm also a giant fan of YFF guitarist Kurt Bloch and this was my first time seeing him perform live. The reason why I missed the one time I had the chance to see his band the Fastbacks is a story for another day. The YFF played one great song after another that I hadn't thought about in a while that brought this instant rush of me thinking I love this song!\nAfter the show I had the honor and privilege to met YFF singer and guitarist Scott McCaughey and besides telling him how much I loved their performance, I told him how I just rectified a mistake I had made by missing them in GB in 1989. Scott looked at me, smiled, and without a pause said tonight was a better show. Perfect ending to a perfect night. After the show I eventually just went to the airport to wait for my 8 a.m. flight. I kept hearing this PSA for TSA which went like this: “Hi, this is Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses,\" which I kept changing in my mind to “Hi this is Duff McKagan of the Fastbacks.\" Live Long and how much about last night do you remember?\nSince 1984, when he first began selling records at Galaxy of Sound inside the Port Plaza Mall, Tom Smith has been part of the Green Bay music scene. Promoting his first show in 1986 and hitting his stride with the Concert Café (1995-2001), Smith continues to promote shows in Green Bay. He first honed his journalistic chops while serving as a student DJ at WGBW, interviewing such icons as Motörhead and the Ramones. Today you can find him championing live music and managing The Exclusive Company in Green Bay."}
{"text": "ALMOST EVERYTHING GOES SWIMMINGLY AT THE SMILING FISH CO., LTD.\nWHY IS this fish smiling? And why am I?\nMaybe it's because we're both recalling the line in the movie \"Gremlins 2\" -- the one about the \"chic new Canadian restaurant where they clean the fish right at your table.\"\nWell, at least we can get one thing clear right off the bat. The Smiling Fish Co., Ltd., is definitely not that restaurant.\nCanadian it may be; chic it is not. It's new. It's bright. It's spanking clean (they must clean the fish in the back). It's cute as a button and lovable. But its ambiance is definitely paper napkins all the way. Mostly young families occupied the small tables the evening we were there.\nThere's a small counter, too -- the place sits 40 altogether.\nCheck the chalkboard to see what's on hand before ordering. Takeout is available, and so is retail fish. The selection is not large -- a good sign. Freshness is all. Everything depends on market conditions.\nOne standard that you can always get: Fish and Chips. Only the species changes.\nOne moderate-size piece of haddock set us back $4.79 (Canadian) the other night. It was really good -- a superior golden crisp batter-enclosed fish so fresh it was practically gurgling. We doused it with hearty malt vinegar, though tartar sauce was also on hand.\nWe thought the sauce, supposedly exclusive to the Smiling Fish, was much too thick.\nIt was accompanied by some fresh-cut spuds -- good-tasting, but could have been crisper. There was also an enjoyable scoop of freshly made coleslaw with finely diced cabbage.\nA worthy evening special was the companion's California Stir-Fry ($8.75). This was a light assemblage of scallops, shrimp and snow peas in a carefully seasoned, slightly thickened soy-flavored sauce. The dish rested on the good fresh flavor of the seafood itself -- not a lot of garnish or glop. The combination was not overly salty, either.\nThere you have it -- honest food. If I were to change anything in this modest place, it would be the quality of the baked goods. The roll accompanying our entrees was fresh but absolutely cold.\nThe blueberry pie was equally chilly.\nObviously, the thing to do here is concentrate on creatures from the briny deep.\nBaked fish, Cajun blackened fish and chowder are always on hand. Other species include tuna, red snapper, haddock, Atlantic salmon, flying fish and lake perch.\nKing crab, live lobster, clams, mussels, squid and octopus are also available.\nWhile we're on the subject of small and modest restaurants, let me call to your attention to an even more minute dining place. Da Tha'o, at 3106 Main St. -- not too far from Hertel Avenue -- can accommodate maybe 30 people.\nThe specialty is Vietnamese food, still something of a rarity in Western New York. We've been to the place only once, but we recommend the crisp Vietnamese-style spring rolls for four ($2.95). And the Da Tha'o Dumpling ($1) was light as air.\nAs a main course, enjoy the Rice Noodle on Hot and Spicy Soup -- it's spicy, all right, and fine. A great big bowl, enough for two, will set you back $3.95.\nDa Tha'o is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 10:30 Friday and Saturday. No liquor, no credit cards, no air conditioning, no ambiance.\nNice people, though, and good food.\nWhat else do you need when you're hungry?\nSecond helpings\nRestaurants recently reviewed in this space include:\nLittle White House, 5877 Main St., Williamsville (633-7755). ( 6/1 5). A large, well-known restaurant with a menu of standard favorites -- evening specials as well.\nButternut Inn, Route 16 and Genesee Road, Chaffee (496-8987). 1/2 ( 6/8 ). A comfortable and homey country inn, featuring hearty food.\nAngelina's Italian Gourmet, 952 Maple Rd., Amherst (689-3011).** ( 6/1 ). Popular and pretty little neighborhood spot in a shopping plaza. Traditional Italian-American food; evening specials particularly recommended.\nGlen Iris Inn, Letchworth State Park, Castile (493-2622)* 1/2 ( 5/2 5). Overlooking the Genesee River Falls, the setting is beautiful. But the food tends to be ordinary.\nThe Smiling Fish Co., Ltd.**\n660 Garrison Rd., Fort Erie, Ontario (416-871-9666). Part fish market, part takeout, part restaurant, this spanking- clean little spot has a menu that changes according to market condi tions. Beer and wine only. Visa accept ed.\nBest Dish: Fried haddock.\nNeeds Work: Rolls and pie are stone cold.\nPrice Range: Fish, chips, coleslaw, one piece, $4.79. California stir fry special with rice, $8.75.\nService: Good.\nHours: Lunch and dinner seven days. Until 9 p.m. Friday. Until 8 p.m. Saturday through Thursday.\nWheelchair Access: Yes.\nKey: Stars are awarded for the quality of the food only. fair, good, excellent, extraordinary.\nShare this article"}

{"text": "Yes, I’ve been there and done that. So here’s the list of tips out of experiences of myself and some around me that I witnessed firsthand.\nDisclaimer: This is not a legal post. This is experience based post written in November 2018. If you're reading this post much later, terms & conditions might be different.\nDisclaimer: This is not a legal post. This is experience based post written in November 2018. If you're reading this post much later, terms & conditions might be different.\n1. You can apply for the visa at the country in which you’ll be staying the maximum or the country of first entry if 2 or more countries have equal stay. Do apply at least a month earlier, just in case of any delay!!! I’ve seen one submitting all papers properly that took 4 weeks and one without even proper bank statement that got done in a couple days!!!!!\n2. Technically you need not provide for accommodation details if you’re going just on a day trip without staying any nights, coz that’s common sense and that’s what the FAQ section of the website says!!! However, you do have to provide a piece of paper – a letter that says that you don’t have accommodation info attached, coz you’re not there for any nights!!!\n3. If you’re going to Europe from UK, on multiple trips and unsure of how many or till when (provided you have your valid UK permit till then), attach an itinerary that gives them an idea on the several trips that you’re planning, with confirmed ticket & hotel booking for atleast one or 2 of those! You’ll get a 3/6/12 months visa depending on your UK visa’s expiry.\n4. In case you and your spouse (both Indians) are working in different countries (within UK & Europe) and would like to meet each other over a weekend or so (provided both are employed), applying with tourist visa, processes it much more quickly than applying with ’Visa for spouse’ category! Coz, that requires you to provide many more papers including original marriage certificate (with an official translation, if it is not in English or Schengen language!) as the embassy wants to be double sure that you won’t end up staying indefinitely in the other country!!! You may just have to book a hotel like a tourist, which you could cancel later on!\n5. In case you are a dependent spouse living with an employed person in UK, make sure carry the original marriage certificate (with an official translation if it is not in English or Schengen language). Plus, you need a letter from the employed person, saying that he/she’ll sponsor the dependent, while applying for the Schengen Visa.\na. Cheap Travel Insurance is available online as well as even in supermarkets like ASDA! As soon as you buy one, you can attach its papers along with the visa application.\nb. When buying tickets, you have an option of adding insurance for the trip. However, it is better to buy an annual insurance separately.\nc. Here’s the catch about Travel Insurance. If something untoward happens, the travel insurance ‘may be’ invalid!!! See – buying a travel insurance from UK, even if you have a residence permit in UK, is valid only after you’ve been in UK for 6 months, that’s 6 months from your date of entry into UK!!! Though a cheap online one or ASDA one is enough to get you the Schengen Visa, its technically invalid, if you haven't been in UK already for 6 months!!! If you’re in a situation to claim the insurance, you cannot!!!!\nd. The only fool-proof way to actually be safe is to get a worldwide or UK & Europe Travel Insurance from India before leaving India!!! Its costlier, but it’s safer!!!!\ne. The other option is to buy Europe Travel Insurance from UK after you’ve been there for 6 months. This is obviously applicable only if you’re in UK for a year or more.\n7. While crossing immigration at Denmark, I was once asked why I had applied for visa through France!! Such questions aren’t uncommon. They know the answer. The question is just to make sure of our attitude and read our expressions!!!\n8. Yes, it is possible for dependents to travel alone to European Countries after getting the Schengen Visa! You will be asked a few questions though while entering back into UK like if where is the wife/husband or why he/she didn’t accompany in this trip etc.\n9. Don’t forget to carry your original UK Residence Permit coz you need that to exit the European country and enter UK! You can just fill ‘till the last date on your BRP’ in the number of days of intended stay column in Arrival Card! In case of bus travel, this checking & immigration is going to happen in the middle of the night in Dover/Calais/Dunkirk (buses to/from any European country will cross the English Channel only here!). You will be woken up at the middle of the night!!!\n10. Unlike several countries where entry and exit and stamped on the passport, UK has a different policy. Only entry is stamped!!! Exiting requires you to show the passport & documents at check-in counter to board a flight/train/bus, but there’s no stamping. It was very weird to me at first. I just cleared the security and went off to the gate with no stamping! Then asked 2 different officers to be double sure if I was doing the right thing!!! In case of train travel, the entry to Europe is stamped even before you board the train in UK!!!\nVery insightful information! It is vital to know about the immigration process when coming to a new country. Your tips will definitely help a lot of people!\nThis article if very helpful for people you are thinking to apply Schengen Visa. I have heard there are many issues involved and questions asked. But yes your article simplifies that one needs to tell the country about their travel plans to make sure they dont think you will live illegal.\nHmm, looks like a lot similarities for a visa to Russians. But yea, I am not going to apply, will get Finnish passport first.\nThough I have no experience of that, but this is interesting to know.\nI'm very lucky to have a British and Filipino citizenship, mainly for the British passport! Very easy to travel without the needs for visas.\nThis is a lot of great information in the right time. My Indian girlfriend will visit me for New Year and she'll need to get a Schengen Visa. I'll share this article with her.\nI couldn't agree with you more on the point about travel insurance! So many people don't bother with it but it can be a total game changer.\nI am processing my Schengen Visa in French Embassy and hope I will get the approval soon. I am excited to explore France! And maybe UK next.\nvery nice...............\noooh...............\nvery informative article for those who facing problem in Visa and all\nI don't know what to say, as I personnaly have no experience about the application. If one wants to visit Shengen countries, it is not difficult to get. But one wants to stay and work there, the process takes some effort.\nThat's a good list of information of various situations for applying Schengen visa in the UK. I live in Thailand and I have different visa rules. But I am sure this will be helpful to many."}
{"text": "The summer season is one of the best times to use promotional items to market your brand.\nCheck out the hottest giveaways and custom promotional items that are sure to increase brand awareness.\nAdd your team/company name or logo with a fun design to your promotional accessories this summer.

Check out this year’s top 10 list to find the right promo item for your company.\nThis Summer’s top 10!\n1. Custom water bottles\nWater bottles are a must in the summertime heat. Keep your customers hydrated and your brand at the forefront of their minds by adding a custom label to your promotional water bottles. Reusable water bottles can be great for team gear as well because they allow for personalization.\n2. Caps\nCaps are a great promotional item because they are evergreen. They have longevity and keep promoting your brand all summer long. They also look sharp with custom embroidery or 3D printing featuring your logo. This type of custom apparel is one of the most cost-effective choices when it comes to brand awareness.\nSunglasses are one of the best promotional items in the summertime because they are a summer wear staple for most people. They will be worn frequently and get lots of public exposure.\nSecondly, sunglasses are a great item to customize because you can print a cool design on the sides or even add an adjustable eye-wear-holder/strap with your company name on it so that you can comfortably hang them around your neck. This will not only look great but will also help show off your business in a casual and practical way.\n4.Tank tops\nT-shirts are probably the most frequently used promotional item, but in the summertime, it’s all about the tanks. Tank tops are some of the most popular summer items to screen print and customize! We’ve got SPIRIT, yes we do, we have SPIRIT, how about you? We specialize in screen printing tanks and t-shirts for many local schools in our area. We’ve also been known to embroider for them too. We take all of our customized merchandise seriously and want you to be proud while handing it out!\nWith screen printing, you can easily bring to life any eye-catching design/logo or company name. Make it pop even more with a bright color tank.\n5. Koozies\nKoozies are a great giveaway option at events like trade shows, as well as networking events because they are compact and lightweight. They have great space to utilize for not only logo placement, but also a promotional message. People will never turn down a koozie and will use it for years to come, giving your audience lots of future brand impressions. We say YAY to this promotional item as it is a gift that keeps on giving.\nIf you are looking for a richer feeling promotional item, beach towels are a great option.\nUse them as creative gifts to potential clients in an effort to build a relationship and earn their business or as raffle prizes at an event. Go one step further and add your awesome embroidered company logo so it stands out for all to see. After all, brand awareness is key here, right?!!\n7. Tote bags\nTote bags with screen printing are popular all year long, but especially during the summer. No one wants to hike to the beach or around the campground with their hands full of random stuff with (now sweaty) towels draped over your shoulder.\nTote bags, like koozies, also make great gifts to pass out, you can rest assured they will absolutely get used as they are the perfect promotional product. Take advantage of another option which is embroidering your company name or logo into the side. You can even fill them with additional branded items or marketing materials so you can ensure you deliver your message to your target audience.\n8. Handheld mini fans\nIf you’re a business owner, consider these handheld mini fans as a promotional item to give away at trade shows or to potential clients. These work especially well at outdoor events during the summer because people can use them right away. They can be customized with your colors and logo to really make an impact. This type of promotional gift definitely stands out as it is not your typical marketing giveaway.\nHaving some camping chairs on hand with your company logo is a great closing gift when your client signs on the dotted line. It’s a way for them to remember your company long after the completion of the sale.\nCamping chairs can be embroidered for a really nice professional look to support your brand image. Ordering customized merchandise such as camping chairs makes for some really fun marketing giveaways, just think about the conversations that will take place in them.\n10.

{"text": "You're heading to the most magical place in the world and you're beyond excited to see your favorite characters, have the wind in your hair as you blaze down Big Thunder Mountain and enjoy all the Mickey bars you possibly can. But...what the heck do you wear?? If you're anything like me what you wear at the parks is of the utmost importance so I am here to help! Here is a not quite definitive but helpful list for planning out your duds for the parks.\n1. I like to first look at my schedule for the week and figure out my outfits based on where we're going each day, for instance when we go to Hollywood Studios I love wearing all of my Star Wars gear or my Twilight Zone shirt, at Magic Kingdom I like to wear my Sleeping Beauty dress or Minnie Mouse dress, Animal Kingdom I wear my Lion King shirt and so on and so forth. Obviously you don't have to coordinate your outfit to the park but having a plan for each day is helpful!\n2. What you wear is also dependent on the time of year you go, in the winter months of December-February it can get cold but usually it stays sunny and in the 60's or 70's during the day but it may drop down to even the 50's at night so tying a flannel around your waist or tossing a hoodie in your backpack can keep you warm when it starts to cool down. Even up until March it can stay cool but it does start to warm up in April, getting up into the 80's during the day and from May until August it is HOT so dress light! September-November is fickle, it can cool down but it can also get into the 80's. During the hot months I stick to dresses, skirts, shorts, t-shirts and tanks. During the spring I can get away with capris and t-shirts and during the winter months it has gotten cool enough for me to wear jeans or yoga pants so that at night I wasn't freezing but my best advice is check and double check the weather before you go! Florida weather is all over the place and in addition to mostly warm temps it rains fairly often, most often you will encounter an afternoon shower and then it'll pass. If you're worried about the rain pack a cheap poncho from Amazon! We usually wait it out inside somewhere because generally the storms leave just as quickly as they come.\n3. When it comes to footwear at Disney think COMFORT! You will be walking a lot, my steps for one day at Disney have gotten to over 20,000 before! While this always makes me feel better about all the Mickey bars and turkey legs I eat it can put your poor little feet into blister city. If it's going to rain or you're planning on hitting the water rides some sandals are great so you're not dealing with wet socks. I love the sandals Crocs carries (I know, Crocs..but hear me out!) because they have phenomenal support and they don't rub or chafe any areas, they also have tons of different styles that don't even look like crocs including a Disney line they added! Lots of people swear by Birkenstock's sandals for walking as well, just make sure any sandal is going to have great support (i.e. not the thin, cheap flip-flops) and that the straps don't irritate or rub anywhere. If sandals aren't your thing I like wearing Vans, Converses or even my Adidas. Any shoes you plan on wearing just make sure that you wear them for a few days beforehand so you know they'll be comfy and be sure to have at least one or two back ups. I say this because if you think one pair will be comfy and then they give you blisters you don't want to have to wear that pair for the rest of the week! Additionally, there are tons of shops on Etsy that make custom Disney Toms and Vans, Vans has a Disney line and so does Crocs so your options are endless!\n4. Disney is the perfect place to wear your Disney gear, Star Wars gear, etc. I love searching Etsy for cute handmade Disney items, Target and Kohl's have Disney items, there are tons of little shops on instagram that make adorable items, and even Amazon has Disney apparel!\n5. Lots of people love to Disneybound at the parks as well, this is the perfect way to dress like your character without wearing a full on costume. If you need ideas there are tons on Pinterest and all over Instagram!\nMost importantly, make sure you're comfortable and have fun!\nGuest Blogger: Tiffany Shirk\nInstagram: tiffyface218\nPersonal Blog:"}

{"text": "UNITED STATES—If there is anything people know about me as a game it is the fact that I have always and I mean always been a fan of the “Castlevania” franchise. I have played nearly every single game in the franchise with notable favorites. Some we’ve talked about, some we haven’t, hello, “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night” for the Play Station gaming system. I know what some of you might be thinking: shouldn’t we be talking about “Castlevania?” Well, I’m highlighting classic games that are actual challenges people.\nThe first entry is a challenge and nostalgic, but its sequel is a bit more difficult than some can imagine. Why? Well it is the complete opposite of its predecessor. This is indeed a role playing game. “Castlevania” had levels and at the end of each level you would fight a boss until you get to the end of the game where you would duke it out against Dracula. That doesn’t happen here. Is that a bummer, to some degree, but this game challenges you to think and search for key items in your journey.\nI will just say it right now; “Simon’s Quest” is no easy ride. This game while you only have 3 actual bosses, Death, Carmilla and Dracula himself, the journey to get to those bosses is difficult. Why? During the day, the enemies you battle are difficult, but at night they are twice as difficult and require more strength, more blood and stronger weaponry to accomplish. You have to travel thru different towns and different mansions (a total of 6) to obtain items that will help you reach and battle Dracula himself. The items are not in visible site, you have to speak to people and obtain clues that help you locate these items.\nI’m refereeing to garlic, various crystals, holy water, gold dagger, diamonds, silk bag, laurels; various whip upgrades, a cross, a rib, a heart, an eyeball, a nail and a ring. You will find Dracula’s parts in the various mansions (Berkeley, Rover, Braham, Bodley and Laruba). Be advised some of the mansions can be easily found, others, you have to follow the clues and listen intently to what the townsfolk tell you. Things that appear as dead ends are not actual dead ends America.\nI like the journey of the game, but be warned you don’t have frivolous amounts of time to just wander. Why? If you don’t complete the game in a timely fashion, it will result in an ending that is not the happily ever-after that you want. That is a bummer, because I do think you need as much time as you like to gather the items and journey thru the game people.\nAs for the bosses, Death is not that big of a challenge if you have the right tools and weaponry and keep that boss in one spot. The same applies to Carmilla, but Dracula himself is not the easiest cause if he starts moving around that room and unleashing his attacks, your life will be cut shorter quicker than you can count to three people. “Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest” is an underrated gem that is a lot more fun than you expect once you allow yourself to be immersed in the game itself.\nWritten By Davy Jones"}
{"text": "News in Short: Canadians comfortable but cautious with social media, email decreasing in popularity\nCanadians are comfortable but cautious with social media\nThe 2010 Digital Influence Index was released in Canada last week by Fleishman-Hillard and Harris Interactive. The study, which measures things such as adoption of digital behaviours and media consumption patterns, revealed Canadians have a high online engagement and a relatively low level of trust with the internet.\nThe study also revealed that the internet is the most important and influential form of media consumed by Canadians, and that a higher percentage of Canadians (69%) have a Facebook account than any other country measured (average of 47%). Canadian consumers also have the most knowledge of microblogs.\nA recent Ipsos Interactive Reid Report suggests email—even spam—has declined by 35% late 2008 to today. The decrease is email usage is caused mostly by the 18-34 age group, which is increasingly using texts, tweets, Facebook and other social media platforms to communicate instead of email.\nThe report also revealed that Facebook is used more often by females and those with lower household incomes. As well, Twitter, MSN Messenger and Blackberry Messenger are used more frequently by males. MSN is used by younger people, while Blackberry is used more by those of middle age, and those with higher household incomes."}

Still, it's nice to have them able to get their own things and not have to do everything for them.\nYou know I grew up as 1 of 5 kids...and our dishes were always placed down low----even now I go to my Mom's house and open the wrong cabinet again and again and again to get the cups and plates out of one of the lower cabinets....I have no memories of my parents ever setting the table...it was always our chore! That Ben, he isa genius...and thanks for the honesty...it's chaos ain't it!\nThanks, JLynn!\nI agree, Jill! It's surprising how much just that one thing does to ease meal prep!\nOkay, Rachel, any other big family tips? Having big kids dress the little ones? Isn't there some story about peaches being put in jars?\nlove this post - SO much more interesting to me than Pinterest perfect :) Love your pragmatic ideas. I forgot we had a changing spot in our dining room until you showed yours! I think we kept things in a basket, and then just whisked the baby and basket up on the table (gasp) or buffet.\nI always have a drying rack going inside in the winter - in warm weather, everything goes outside. I have an umbrella clothesline, so I hide the unmentionables between other stuff. I highly recommend an umbrella clothesline with a ground screw for town/city yards. It's much more space efficient.\nYour house is SO lovely - wet swimsuits and all:) I just adore your photos, Adele! What a cozy little home and life! Xo\nI keep meaning to move our kid dishes down to their level - they've been climbing up on the counter to get them and it really would be a better idea to move them to one of the bottom cupboards! That'll be my goal for the week :)\nAnd I really need to work on line drying our clothes - we bought extendable clotheslines last year and they are like, 6 inches short of reaching the pole that they need to connect to! It probably wouldn't take much effort to tie some twine on the end to make it work...\nThat's a great idea! We have source in our yard, but I would prefer for not all of it to be used for clothes drying! :)\nThanks my dear!\nYour comment made me remember that directly before relocating the dishes, lily (of course) had split her chin while descending from our counter. May we serve as your cautionary tale!"}

{"text": "I'm new to this forum, so please excuse me if i err in some way. This is a complex question and as such requires a bit of explanation. This problem evolved from musings of adding an OptiBay enclosed SSD to my MacBook.\nAbstract:\nThe ultimate goal of this project is two have my system files mirrored across two disk (HDD & SSD) whilst recognized as one logical partition by OSX. I want to read and write to just the SSD (since it's the fastest), and then have any changes synced two a mirror on the HD. SSD may be removed from time to time, so i want OSX to be able to boot from the mirror whenever the SSD is not found at boot (hence the single logical partition).\nPossible Implementations:\n- My current hypothesis as to how i might accomplish this is via a Software RAID 0. It's not that simple though, since a plain RAID 0 between the two disks would be impractical. The RAID would be limited by the read/write speed of the HD, thus negating the speed boost of the SSD.\n- How can set it up as a RAID 0, but only r/w to/from the SSD (from the system's perspective) and let the RAID handle syncing the data?\n- What would i need, in terms of software, to set up that RAID?\n- An alternate method might be to set up two independent partitions (one on each disk), identify the SSD as the start up disk, and run a script (with lowered priority) that syncs the SSD partition with the former partition.\n- How would i go about writing such a script? What language would it have to be in to run with the smallest resource consumption?\n- How would i make the mirror HDD partition hidden during normal operations, but automatically boot from it when the SSD is not found?\n- Any solutions must be a software solution and/or use hardware that would fit inside the MacBook's case\n- The mirror partition on the HDD does not cover the whole disk. Other partitions on the HDD must be accessible at all times to the OS.\n- The same goes for the SSD except for when it's removed.\n- Syncing between disks should not create any appreciable latency.\n- Restricted to the capabilities of OSX 10.6.\nThanks a bunch in advance for any help that can be provided!"}

{"text": "Tom Brady Limps Off the Field. AP Photo/Winslow Townson\nWhat an awful opening weekend for the NFL. Well actually what an awful opening weekend for my picks. While I didn’t get a chance to post my picks, I’m actually quite happy to save some face.\nBeing the honest asshole I am, I will actually say that including Thursday’s game I got only six games correct. Yes. Six out of 14.\nBut as bad as that is, nothing can be as bad as what the New England Patriots went through today. After taking quarterback Tom Brady off the injury list for the first time since 2005, he was injured midway in the first quarter on a hit by Kansas City Chief’s safety Bernard Pollard. He clutched his left knee and early word seems to indicate he has a torn ACL will be out for the season.\nGranted backup Matt Cassel led two touchdown drives to lead the Patriots to victory, but those Pats certainly don’t have the same swagger as they do with Tom Brady behind center. This should be a clarion call to the rest of the AFC East. This is now a winnable division especially since most the division is not good.\nBut remember, it’s just one game. Last season the Detroit Lions started out 6-2 but went on to lost their next six and ended up 7-9. So let’s see how things play out.\nNFL Capsules\nNew York Giants defeat Washington Redskins 16-7. In the Thursday game, two teams played about as horribly as possible to make me have no regrets for not leaving work on time to rush home and watch the game. No points in the second half. Really? By the way I picked Washington to win this game.\nAtlanta Falcons defeat Detroit Lions 34-21. Yes I did proclaim the Falcons NFC South winners. And yes I did pick Atlanta to win this game making me look like a genius for a second. But it was against the Detroit Lions at home, so I can’t really celebrate this one too much. By the way rookie starting quarterback Matt Ryan’s first pass for the Falcons was a 62-yard touchdown pass. Michael Vick who? The dogs were surely let out today.\nBuffalo Bills defeat Seattle Seahawks 34-10. The Buffalo Bills made their bid for the AFC East by pounding on the Seahawks. Before we get too carried away with this game it needs to be said that Seattle never travels to the East Coast well. So Buffalo fans, don’t anoint Dick Jauron coach of the year yet. And Seattle fans, just hold off on that lethal dose of heroin. I did pick Seattle to win this game, and I’m still kicking myself for it.\nTennessee Titans defeat Jacksonville Jaguars 17-10. What the hell was that that Jacksonville put on the field? Was that supposed to be a football team? The Titan’s defense sacked quarterback David Garrard seven times. Meanwhile Titan’s quarterback Vince Young proved that he got no better during the offseason throwing two interceptions. He also sprained his left knee. I picked Jacksonville to win this game. Uy.\nNY Jets defeat Miami Dolphins 20-14. Brett Favre in his first game as a Jet, and he had a decent outing. Miami’s quarterback Chad Pennington also had a decent day, but it was a sloppy game on both sides. I picked Miami to win this, and I don’t remember why I picked them.\nNew England Patriots defeat Kansas City Chiefs 17-10. I don’t wish any ill will towards athletes, but anything to keep Bostonians quiet for at least one second I approve. I picked New England to win this and Matt Cassel didn’t disappoint.\nNew Orleans Saints defeat Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-20. Drew Brees’ mole, Jon Gruden’s expressions and Kim Kardashian. What more do you want in a football game? Reggie Bush led all receivers with eight receptions and 112 yards with the game winning touchdown. In a game that should have been more defensive, there was a total of 790 yards gained between the two teams. I did pick New Orleans to win this.\nPhiladelphia Eagles defeat St. Louis Rams 38-3. Did anyone really think the Eagles were going to lose to the Rams? Really? I didn’t.\nPittsburgh Steelers defeat Houston Texans 38-17. This one was a surprise. I didn’t think Houston would be outplayed this badly. Either the Steelers really upgraded offensively or the Texans got worse on defense. I did pick Houston to win this as an upset. But I expected them to make this a more interesting game.\nBaltimore Ravens defeat Cincinnati Bengals 17-10. Chad Ocho Cinco wasn’t allowed to wear Ocho Cinco on his jersey, and he ended up getting one reception for 22 yards. For people who had Carson Palmer on their fantasy team, sorry. I picked Cincinnati to win this. Hm.\nDallas Cowboys defeat Cleveland Browns 28-10. How about them Cowboys? Tony Romo got a boo-boo on his chin, but he still managed to pass for 320 yards and a touchdown pass to Terrell Owens. Again, did anyone expect the Browns to win except for people who think Ohio State really has a chance against USC? I picked Dallas.\nCarolina Panthers defeat San Diego Chargers 26-24. Now this was an upset. The only thing I can say about this game is that Carolina looks better than expected. Shawne Merriman looked decent in this game, but I wouldn’t make any sweeping statements about the Chargers based on this game. Look at last season for reference. I picked San Diego to win. D’oh!\nArizona Cardinals defeat San Francisco 49ers 23-13. Um. I really don’t care about either team to comment on this game. I picked San Francisco to win this.\nChicago Bears defeat Indianapolis Colts 29-13. Warning: strong homerism in this capsule. MY BEARS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!! They looked like a dominant team again with a quarterback that doesn’t throw interceptions on every possession, a defense that dictated what the Colts would do and a team that didn’t make mistakes. The offense didn’t light things up, but they really didn’t have to. Rookie running back Matt Forte rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown, while everyone’s favorite drunk quarterback Kyle Orton threw for 150 yards. I picked my Bears to win. So fuck all my other picks. DA BEARS WIN!\nwho needs a local team when we have The Sunday Ticket\nMatt Cassel = starting QB in the NFL\nMatt Leinhart = bench player\nYou best believe we new englanders won't be staying quiet. Maybe the bitch fans who love Brady and only Brady for his coverboy model BS will hit the road ... to them I say good riddance!\nThe rest of us real fans know it takes more than a quarterback to win championships, and we'll prove it again.\nCassell's got a lot to prove (esp. after sitting on the bench all those years at SC) and yesterday showed that he's up for the challenge. Bring on the jets.\nHAHAHA!! Colfax, you are right. Funny how that worked out.\nSeriously, some of those tosses by Favre (especially that \"hail Brett\" toss that went for a TD) were just pure luck. I wouldnt be too impressed with myself if I were a Jets fan.\nThe Bear's Forte is better than advertised! If Orton just keepts it simple and the D dictates like it did against the Colts, they can reach AT LEAST the NFC Championship.\nThe New England fans Ive spoken with are trying to keep a a stiff upper lip. They know they have a lot of talent on their team, but they also know that they will need Cassel to be at his best. Their schedule isnt too hard so they have a definite shot at the playoffs."}

{"text": "There are many ways in which network monitoring works to benefit businesses and other organizations that rely on their computer environment to process daily workflow and generate a revenue stream. The experience of the City College of San Diego demonstrates just how essential this type of monitoring can be for maintaining IT security.\nThe college recently had the unfortunate experience of discovering that its systems had been infected with viruses for well over a full decade. IT staffers first realized there was a problem when, during routine network monitoring procedures, they noticed odd gaps in a main server's data records. A detailed investigation revealed the presence of viruses and demonstrated that the infection dated all the way back to 1999. Further analysis made it clear that the infection had caused unauthorized transmissions to be sent to both China and Russia among other nations.\nThe college took immediate steps to correct the problem, isolating the computer lab that had been infected and taking the affected server offline. At that point, what remained was to implement IT solutions that would help to prevent such breaches in the future. At a minimum, these methods of prevention could include all of the following.\n1. Re-establishing firewall protection for all systems,and configuring it as needed to keep up with the evolving threat environment.\n2. Changing passwords on all computers that function as servers. As part of this process, companies should take the opportunity to strengthen their passwords. Strong passwords generally use upper and lower case letters as well as number and symbols.\n3. Reviewing procedures related to applying updates to computers on the network. It is possible for businesses inadvertently to become infected with malware during an update that went awry. This happens, for example, when incomplete or flawed updates open up a security hole in the system.\n4. Installing new hardware that will help to heighten IT security.\n5. Reconfiguring the network into isolated ‘pods’ that do not communicate with one another. This system will help to ensure that a breach cannot spread throughout the entire system. The type and number of such ‘pods’ will naturally have to vary according to the needs of the business in question.\n6. Moving to a managed services model for IT support so that continuous monitoring and remote assistance on a 24/7 basis will be available in the future.\n"}

To end the debate, Ian Farrier designed the F-22, a folding, transportable trimaran, built for a no-compromise programme combining above average speed and liveability. Until now, it has been built as a one-off by motivated amateurs, but mass production will be starting in 2012.\nA few cables from the Croisette and its palaces, ‘Nid d'Abeille’ has just celebrated by parading through the roads of Cannes, clothed in bright yellow and carbon. The F-22 trimaran, built by Thierry Hémard, was impressive on its trailer, but didn’t really have a wasp-waist. The convoy nevertheless threaded its way without difficulty to the small slipway. But when the moment came to manipulate the trailer by hand on the slipway, the mask fell: behind the bulky appearance its ‘body-built’ shape gives it, hides a lightweight young lady, as light as you please, to play the star on the beach…and spoil the fun on the finish lines at regattas. It must be said that the damsel has undergone a strict diet during her construction: lightened foam sandwich at each meal, and liposuction under vacuum to eliminate any excess epoxy resin. Final verdict: less than 600 kg on the scales, when its competitors of an equivalent size show 100 to 200 kg of additional spare tyre. We could also quote the example of spectacular anorexia noted on an F-22 weighing just 480 kg, built completely in carbon by Melvest Marine, whilst other examples have opted for an aluminium mast and less high tech construction,...\nWhat readers think\nTell us your opinion"}

{"text": "The reason Shinzo Abe talked so much about peace, freedom of navigation and the rule of law in the Australian Parliament is because he believes they are under threat.\nThe Japanese prime minister did not name that threat and nor did his host and friend, Prime Minister Tony Abbott. But the core of Abe’s message, and the fact that he will travel twice to Australia in the space of four months, makes no sense unless framed by shared anxieties about China. China features in Abe's speech like the dark master in a Harry Potter novel: The Nation That Must Not Be Named.\n“We want to make Japan a country that will work to build an international order that upholds the rule of law,” said Abe, implicitly drawing a contrast with the Chinese Communist Party’s aversion to being bound by any outside power.\n“Japan is now working to change its legal basis for security . . . so we can act jointly with other countries in as many ways as possible,” said Abe, referring to his program to pull Japan away from its postwar pacifist constraints and tighten military links with Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, India and other regional nations.\n“Let us join together all the more in order to make vast seas from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian, and those skies, open and free,” said Abe, raising concerns about freedom of navigation and oversight that were precipitated by China’s unilateral declaration of an Air Defence Identification Zone over the East China Sea.\n“In everything we say and do we must follow the law and never fall back into force and coercion,” said Abe, without naming China's myriad territorial challenges to its neighbours, most notably Japan.\nJapan, Australia and the United States were substantially tightening their defence cooperation in response to China’s growing power even before China escalated a series of territorial challenges in the past two years.\nThese tectonic movements became clear the last time a world leader addressed the Australian Parliament, in November 2011.\n,” said US President Barack Obama, announcing his “pivot” to Asia.\nAbe’s address to parliament is also a strategic landmark which illuminates how Japan and Australia are leading the creation of a regional coalition to hedge against China, with - but also without - the United States.\nThe story Abe speech all about The Nation that Must Not Be Named first appeared on The Sydney Morning Herald."}

It's kind of ugly, but it keeps everything nice and clean.\nThe cat mention reminded me of this:\n\"Mouse not detected\"\n-Liz\nHrm, didn't really do any winter cleaning, though, early spring cleaning and upgrading I suppose? Decided I would go custom water cooling again, repurposed a few 10+ year old parts, tried my hand at painting and failed horribly. The idea was to go for a bit of a resident evil theme, but meh. But, I did get it pretty clean, the amount of clorox wipes I went through to get all that tar filled dust off everything...\nLooks awesome.\nOh that's rad. Does it light up too?\n-Liz\nNow that's neat looking!\n@Liz wrote:\nOh that's rad. Does it light up too?\n-Liz\nThis is the best pic I can get due to the light messing with my phones camera... It keeps trying to focus on different things."}
{"text": "There was alarming news this week in the Capitol related to a long-awaited capital project that was, at its inception, meant to be an integrally important improvement to Alaska’s correctional system.\nThe Goose Creek Correctional Center is somewhere more than three-quarters completed, and about a year from opening. Even though it is not yet technically behind schedule or over budget, there are still tremendous problems with the project.\nThe most alarming fact disclosed to lawmakers this past week was what it will cost to operate this facility, and what these costs mean to the annual operating budget for the Department of Corrections in comparison to current operations.\nGoose Creek was conceived back in 2004, when former state Sen. Lyda Green, a Wasilla Republican, co-chaired the Senate Finance Committee and brought forward a bill to add needed correctional facilities all around Alaska. Goose Creek was supposed to be one of four potential partnerships between local governments and the state of Alaska. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough entered into an agreement with the state to build this enormous project, with the dual purposes of creating jobs for Alaskans and bringing Alaskan prisoners home from Outside to serve out their sentences here. This offered the alluring prospect of creating temporary and permanent work for Alaskans and followed the conventional wisdom in the correctional industry that inmates are likelier to be successfully rehabilitated when incarcerated closer to families and support networks.\nThe Alaska Department of Corrections has about 3,800 inmates in its facilities, about the capacity of the existing statewide system. But the prison population is not evenly distributed and some facilities have excess space while others are overcrowded. In addition to these in-state prisoners, nearly 1,000 more Alaskans are currently housed in a private prison in Colorado, which costs the state some $20 million annually.\nGreen’s bill set a maximum cost for each prison bed of $135,000 with up to 2,200 beds in a maximum-security complex. The Department of Corrections chose to downsize Goose Creek’s capacity to just over 1,500 beds and to build instead a medium-security facility. While most Alaskan prisoners require medium security, a maximum-security facility would have allowed for more flexibility in meeting future correctional system needs. Goose Creek is now expected to cost $225 million, but this figure doesn’t account for any of the interior furnishings so it is meaningless unless one expects the prisoners to sleep on the floor. It also won’t pay for the new water and wastewater treatment systems that must still be built. Even worse, the choice to alter the size and security classification of Goose Creek resulted in a two-year delay, significantly augmenting financing cost.\nThis past week the Senate Finance Committee heard truly amazing testimony from Department of Corrections officials. Because Goose Creek is located in a remote area of the Mat-Su Borough it would be prohibitively expensive to connect it to the existing water and sewer system, necessitating the building of stand-alone facilities. Green’s bill didn’t designate the specific construction site, so this problem was avoidable. Instead of building in Palmer, Corrections instead chose to build on land donated by the Mat-Su Borough, but this use of free land was a false economy. In addition to the utility costs related to the remote location, future operating costs will also be much greater when it comes to transporting prisoners to and from judicial and even medical facilities.\nThe annual operating costs of Goose Creek were relayed as a staggering $50 million, not even accounting for almost $18 million in annual lease payments to the Mat-Su Borough. We’re currently only paying $20 million to house inmates in Colorado, and it’s hard to justify more than trebling costs for the benefits of bringing prisoners back to Alaska or improving chances of rehabilitation.\nAnother independent source of agitation for legislators is the fact none of the other correctional projects called for in Goose Creek’s enabling legislation have been built or even fully planned. Despite clear language calling for expanding the prison facilities in Fairbanks, Bethel, and Seward, there has been no activity in any of these communities. Of particular concern is Bethel’s Yukon-Kuskokwim Correctional Center, which is perennially over its capacity, causing Corrections to have to send many prisoners north to Nome’s Anvil Mountain Correctional Center. The meltdown in the Goose Creek process appears to have consumed all of the Department of Corrections’ attention and capacity, leading to what one senator described as “complete neglect” of the rest of Alaksa.\nWhile it seems beyond comprehension, there is serious talk of not opening Goose Creek and just paying some $20 million annually to keep the facility unopened. Another option is to see if a private firm is willing to try to run it for the state. However things turn out, this is not a good outcome, and the Legislature is entirely right to express extreme dissatisfaction. Alaskans deserve better, and this sort of absurd outcome must not be allowed to repeat itself.\n• Brown is an attorney who lives in Juneau."}
