You control a man in very fetching leotards. You've got to make him backflip. And that's it! Sound easy? Hahahah. Hahah. Hah. No.
No, it is not easy.
Requiring a similar level of timing and "rhythm" to something like, say, QWOP, the whole trick to the game is that you control each aspect of the diver's action, from jump to roll to landing. So what looks easy by the start of the video above will look way more indicative of your eventual performance the longer you watch it.
There's enormous satisfaction to be had from nailing a landing, similar to an experience like Trials, and even your failures become glorious once your broken body starts ragdolling around the weirdly elaborate levels.
The game is available on both iOS and Android. Its makers are not responsible for phones thrown out windows.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- Police announced 15 new suspects in the January killing of a Hamas leader at a Dubai hotel, bringing to 26 the number of people suspected of involvement in his death.
Authorities previously had released a list of 11 suspects in the killing of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a founding member of Hamas' military wing. Al-Mabhouh was found dead in his hotel room January 20.
Police believe he was killed the night before and suspect the Mossad, the secretive Israeli foreign intelligence unit, was behind his killing.
Among the new suspects are six more people who allegedly used British passports in the commission of the crime, four others using Irish passports, two other French passport holders and three people, including a woman, traveling on Australian passports, police said in a statement Wednesday.
The total number of suspects using British passports is now at 12, police said, along with six Irish passport holders and four French passport holders. Another suspect using a German passport was announced earlier this month. The three Australian passports are new.
"Friendly nations who have been assisting in this investigation have indicated to the police in Dubai that the passports were issued in an illegal and fraudulent manner, adding that the pictures on the travel documents did not correspond to the original owners," the police statement said.
Dubai authorities have informed Australia of the possible use of the three Australian passports, Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith said Thursday (Wednesday ET) in a statement to Parliament.
The passports were issued in 2003 to Joshua Bruce, Adam Korman and Nicole McCabe, he said, adding that Australian officials have been cooperating with Dubai authorities.
"The Australian government is very gravely concerned that these Australian passports appear to have been used fraudulently," he said.
Preliminary analysis shows that the passports "appear to have been duplicated or altered," he said.
"At this stage, Australian officials have no information, no information to suggest that the three Australian passport holders were involved in any way, other than as victims of passport or identity fraud."
He said he had told the Israeli ambassador to Australia, Yuval Rotem, that Australia expected Israeli authorities "to cooperate fully and transparently with the Australian Federal Police investigation into this matter."
The European Union earlier this week said it "strongly condemns" the use of false EU passports in connection with al-Mabhouh's slaying. Officials have said the passports are not fake or forged but were authentic passports meant for other people.
While authorities have not said how he died, al-Mabhouh's family was told there were signs of electric shocks on his legs, behind his ears, on his genitals and over his heart. Blood on a pillow led police to believe he was suffocated, the family was told. The killers left some of al-Mabhouh's medicine next to his bed in an apparent effort to suggest his death was not suspicious, police said.
Police said Wednesday they have traced the suspects' travel routes and their destinations before and after al-Mabhouh's death. "The suspects gathered in Dubai and dispersed to various locations before pairing up again in different teams and heading off to other destinations," the statement said. The Australians, for instance, are believed to have departed Dubai in a boat for Iran.
Police released a diagram showing the travel routes. The suspects are believed to have departed Dubai for places including Paris, Hong Kong and Rome following al-Mabhouh's death.
In addition, police said in a statement that 14 of the suspects used credit cards issued by MetaBank, based in the U.S. state of Iowa, to book hotel rooms and pay for air travel.
Payoneer, an online payment distribution service, issues the types of cards the suspects are said to have used through MetaBank. Someone "loads" the cards by paying Payoneer, which then contacts MetaBank to issue the card, according to Payoneer.
"We are aware of the news reports," Mary Kae Marinac, a spokeswoman for Payoneer, said Wednesday. "We are cooperating with [MetaBank] and the authorities to explore the matter" and identify the accounts.
A spokeswoman for MetaBank confirmed the bank's relationship with Payoneer and said the company is investigating the allegations.
Meanwhile, the new list of 15 suspects "includes people who offered prior logistical support and preparations to facilitate the crime and others who played a central role," police said. "Dubai police investigators are not ruling out the possibility of involvement of other people in the murder."
The 26 do not include two Palestinians arrested in Jordan earlier and returned to the UAE. In an interview Wednesday, Khairi Aloridi, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, called al-Mabhouh's death "a major terrorist crime."
The European Union is concerned the killers acquired passports and credit cards by swiping the identities of EU citizens, Baroness Catherine Ashton said Monday. She did not name Israel, although foreign ministers in countries whose passports were doctored called in Israeli ambassadors last week to discuss the issue.
In Israel, as many as seven people whose names were on the travel documents said they have no knowledge of al-Mabhouh's death.
The British Foreign Office said Wednesday it was planning to contact the British citizens named by Dubai authorities as suspects -- because the passports bear their names -- and "we will be offering them counselor services.
"We continue our investigation into this matter and repeat that we expect full cooperation from Israel in relation to this matter," the office said in a statement.
Dubai's police chief said Thursday he was "99 percent" certain that the Mossad, the secretive Israeli foreign intelligence unit, is behind al-Mabhouh's slaying. Hamas has called al-Mabhouh's death an "assassination."
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, meanwhile, has said there is nothing more than "media reports" linking Israel to al-Mabhouh's death.
Asked if he believed the Mossad was responsible, Aloridi said Wednesday, "All the evidence and the clues point to an Israeli involvement."
In a report from the information office of the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, senior Hamas leader Ismail Radwan said he believes Israel was behind the killing and called for "the Zionist war criminals" to be held accountable.
CNN's Paula Hancocks, Caroline Faraj, Saad Abedine and Hugh Williams contributed to this report.

Mike Newell thinks 'Reykjavik' is a "triumph of the human spirit".
The director - best known for helming 'Four Weddings And A Funeral' - is excited about his upcoming historical drama about the end of the Cold War and believes it will be beautiful expression of human integrity and emotion.
The film is set in 1986 and explores the pivotal peace talks between US President Ronald Reagan (Michael Douglas) and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev (Christoph Waltz) which took place in the Icelandic capital and their strange East-meets-West relationship upon which 'the fate of the entire world hangs".
Mike told Empire magazine: "It's a story about human contact being established in a desert where it shouldn't exist and against all the odds it does. It's a triumph of the human spirit."
However, the most tricky part of the film - which was penned by 'Becoming Jane' scribe Kevin Hood - will be getting the right make-up and hair for leading men Michael and Christoph because the world leaders were so distinctive looking.
He joked: "We have to get the hair right because Reagan was so vain about his hair - and obviously the birthmark and the baldness for Christoph Waltz."
The cast and crew are heading off to Reykjavik in early 2013 to begin filming, as well as Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam.

Line Collection
This is the collection that started it all.
The Line Collection garnered inSync a cult following for its earrings, necklaces and brooches fashioned in the original "hand-drawn" look that has become inSync design's signature.
It's only fitting that inSync's story begins with a story; the collection was initially inspired by Crockett Johnson's illustrations in his children's tale 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' in which the main character sketches a brand new world around him.

Archived and Closed
This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: MyESVT going away soon
Among other info, MyESVT contains a more robust usage meter that will allow you to see a lot more detail about your data usage, including the types of usage, usage by type and when the usage occurred. It also has some troubleshooting and feedback tools to check out if you're having trouble with your service (or just want to check the status).
How to get started:
1. Go to https://myesvt.exede.net and log in with your regular MyExede.net credentials.
2. Read and accept the legal agreement. If you choose to decline, you won't be able to view MyESVT.
3. You're there! What you'll see now is a dashboard that's very similar to what our Care agents see if you were to call in looking for help on your account. The goal is to let you see what problems may exist as shown by the status and indicator icons on the dashboard and the actions you can take to resolve them yourself (the bottom row icons) or send it as feedback to us to help you to fix it (the mail/help icon).
Please give us your valuable feedback about this tool:
• What info is helpful in resolving your issues on your own?
• What else could we add to further improve this tool?
Most of the items on the dashboard will tell you what they are by rolling over them. The dashboard is laid out in 5 layers:
(View a larger image here.)
Here's a short glossary related to some of the terms on the dashboard that may be need more explanation:Here's a bit more detail about those status indictors. Some of them are pretty technical while others are fairly simple to understand. We'll skip the Green lights (those are good!) and focus on what you might need to do if one of the lights is yellow or red:
• MAC address: Your MAC address is a unique identifier consisting of letters and numbers of your modem (it might look like this: 00:A0:BC:11:22:33).
• Data Allowance Policy: This icon refers to when you've exceeded your monthly data allowance and have your service slowed/restricted or if you are in Liberty Pass.
• Web Acceleration: This is special software built into your modem that allows us to make your webpages open more quickly.
• Packet Loss: Packets are data bits, and if some of these packets don't make it to their destination, that's called 'packet loss.'
• Throughput: Defines the round trip time of the data between your modem and the internet.
• ODU: Outdoor Unit, refers to the dish assembly we've installed at your location.
• IP Layer, Service Area and Gateway: Refers to the geographical location of your service.
• Speed Test: Compared to a speed test you might use with a common utility like speedtest.net, our speed test tool tests directly from the modem — not over Wi-Fi. If you see a difference between a test you did with another tool over your wireless signal and the one directly from the modem, it likely points to a problem with the router.
• LNFZ: Refers to the Free Zone if available on your plan.
(View larger image here.)
You do have to be LOGGED ON and into to see it which IS DATA USAGE in it's self .
While I'm sure the Exede people who put this together are quite proud of themselves , this is a bit of overkill in most respect's !
Of course you have to be logged in, the information is held on the server(s) and access to account specific information requires authentication and authorization. The information you want isn't maintained in the modem for the most part.
The only nebulous requirement stated by most was a better usage meter - which means different things to different people.
Submit a request in detail as to what you want for consideration. Saying this isn't what you wanted when you've never really said what you wanted yields few results.
The people who put it together are doing what they're told (undoubtedly they have better ideas but getting those approved through some bureaucratic change control process is a challenge in itself).
Me personally, I'd just as soon see the raw data provided by a secured web service using SOAP, JSON or plain old XML and be able to do what I want with it rather than someone assuming what I want to do with it and how it's to be displayed. Do that and you'd likely see all kind of software developers jumping in to the fray with their own better widgets targeting specific devices and operating systems.
Coming over from "HUGHES NET" I for one really miss the little "METER" app that used to reside on the task bar ( JAVA thing maybe) and you could see at a glance what your usage was within 15 minute intervals , you didn't have to "LOG-IN" every time you wanted to check it and it didn't count against your "DATA-CAP" or "DATA PLAN".
Even with this new / old tool I cannot track usage with-out having to "LOG-ON" which any way you want to look at it WILL constitute "DATA USAGE" !
If you have any issues please send an email to email@example.com.
Tried again, It does not redirect me to anything.
I clicked on your Highlighted address and it took me to the legal agreement page. Was able to get to eSVT. This had not worked thru my account page.
Steve,Thank you for your help
im thinking one for 12am-5am free zone the other for data usage.
Note however, that it's only available if you subscribe directly to Exede through ViaSat (i.e. unavailable if you subscribe through a wholesaler).
Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for making this available. When this works, it will resolve one of the big disadvantages Exude had, when compared with HNS.
Unfortunately, it is not working well yet. In particular, the data usage is more than two weeks out-of-date. Reviewing data usage is nowhere near as useful as it could be if the data provided is going to be that far in the past.
I hope you can resolve that ASAP. In the meantime, this has the makings of a useful tool. Thanks again.
With that option checked (again, the only user selectable option that I can see on the screen), today my usage data is again more than two weeks out-of-date.
I will switch the view option to "previous" and then back to "current" to see if that resolves it.
It's a measure of throughput over a given time period - rate of transfer for an amount of data over a given time period.
The Speed Meter your showing appears to only measure throughput across your computer's network interface - an apples to oranges comparison unless both are counting and calculating using the same data.
Also under SPEED, what is a Packet Loss, which is now in Red?
Not sure why this view isn't available vs. the current dashboard. I mean, how would I know how much more GB to buy if I didn't know how much we used on average in a given month?
Log in with your normal account log in information.
Read an agree to the customer agreement for ESVT which it will display after you log in.
After clicking AGREE, it will load the usage information.
Here's how many people are using it:
And here are some other fun stats so far:
- There have been over 3,500 lookups in my.esvt since it started
- A typical day sees 30 speed tests, roughly 1 out of every 3 unique visits (on average, not counting for multiple tests per visit)
- The most common beam among visitors is 329. Beams 321, 314 and 331 kind of bunch up in a second grouping.
- Roughly 30% of visitors have exceeded their GB quota, most have Liberty so are in Liberty pass, a few experience the hard limits of classic plans
- About 1-2 people per day need a truck roll for a mispointed antenna
Do OS updates fit there?
Do files downloaded form a website like CNET go there?
Do games downloaded via an app like Steam, Glyph and Orign go there?
Do games downloaded via a web based app like Wild Tangent go there?
Do iTunes or other similar media service applications downloads go there?
If not, where do such things fall as far a usage goes. It would be nice to know what common activities are classified as "storage" because to me, and most users I suspect, that means storing data someplace other than on devices you own, some sort of online, remote backup, hosting or cloud type storage location and, I'm sure there are many of us who rarely or never use such things yet have "storage" usage so, it's confusing as to what we need to control when that is taking the largest percentage of the usage pie chart.

A Magical and Memorable Day…
A Legend among Legends…
Most baseball fans remember attending their first major league baseball game. For many of us, it happened during our childhoods so it was a special event to spend time with a parent, grand-parent or older sibling. In my case, I attended my first game with my step-father. My own father had died a few years earlier and he did not have the health in his final years to take me to any games.
I was excited when my step-father informed me that we could be traveling to St Louis by bus to see the Cardinals play. My step-father had been a life-long Cardinals fan so he was probably as thrilled about the trip as I was. My step-father had been very active with the local Elks club chapter, as a member and officer of the organization. The bus trip to St Louis, a five hour drive, had been sponsored by the Elks club. I am not sure why that's relevant to this post, but it's probably just a tribute to my step-father for the passion and support he gave the Elks over the years.
The date of the game was May 29, 1974, and it featured the Los Angeles Dodgers against the St Louis Cardinals. It was a nice spring Missouri day at the old Busch Stadium, with the Arch looming in the background. When I look back, I am in complete awe of the players who took the field that day. At that point of my childhood, I considered myself a bigger football than baseball fan. Like many of my friends, my favorite baseball team were the Oakland A's. I would not become a Yankees fan until the end of the year when A's starting pitcher and Hall of Famer Jim "Catfish" Hunter would leave Oakland as a free agent to sign with the Yankees.
Thinking about the game, several players stood out to me that day as a kid attending my first professional game. I was mesmerized by the Dodgers starting pitcher (and future Yankee) Tommy John and his pitching motion. Surprisingly, I remember John more that day than the starter for the Cardinals, the legendary Bob Gibson.
For the Cardinals, centerfielder Bake McBride made the biggest impression…well, at least until the latter innings. I thought the name "Bake" was rather cool, and he seemed to move effortlessly with great speed in the field. He did not do anything with his bat that day, but I enjoyed the grace he displayed in the field. Late in the game, the Cardinals brought in closer Al "The Mad Hungarian" Hrabosky even though they were trailing. The intensity that Hrabosky brought to the game when he entered to pitch still gives me chills. He brought the crowd alive, and although the Cardinals would lose the game, 5-2, Hrabosky made me a believer and he became my first favorite closer. I would have subsequent trips to St Louis and I always loved watching Hrabosky pitch while he was in his prime. I think I've always had a favorite closer through the years as a result. Rich "Goose" Gossage and Mariano Rivera are two other all-time favorites.
The memory of these players vastly overlooks the legends on the field that day (as I now recognize). The Dodgers were managed by the great Walter Alston, while the Cardinals were led by long-time manager Red Schoendienst. Some of the Dodger names that would have prominent roles in the '77 and '78 World Series agains the Yankees were there…Steve Garvey, Bill Russell, Ron Cey and Steve Yeager. The Cardinals had Joe Torre at first and Ted Simmons behind the plate. It is amazing how differently the game looks to me today as I recall it as opposed to my perception in May 1974. I was blessed with the opportunity to see so many legends that day.
As memorable as the game was for me, it was, believe it or not, a trip to the restroom that has endured the test of time as one of my all-time favorite baseball moments. It was the fourth inning and I made my way to the restroom. Over the speakers, I heard that I missed the opportunity to see my first home run as Ron Cey connected off Gibson. After using the restroom, I was walking down the corridor back toward my seat. I saw a line of people waiting to see a guy who was signing baseballs and books. There were actually two guys signing autographs. I went to the shorter line, and it was famed St Louis Post-Dispatch sports writer Bob Broeg. Nothing against Broeg, but I was more intrigued by the other gentleman as he was garnering the most attention. After getting Broeg's autograph, I got in the other line and worked up my way up to shake hands with none other than the legendary Stan "The Man" Musial. I had been familiar with who Musial was through my step-father as he always spoke very fondly of the Cardinals great. I was in awe but admittedly I did not appreciate the moment at the time in the way I do today. Mr. Musial was very kind to me and it is an encounter that I will never forget. I can still remember going back to my seat and telling my step-father, "I just met Stan 'The Man' Musial!".
I was very saddened to hear the news of Musial's passing this weekend. I have always been grateful for the few minutes I had with him and he'll always hold a special place for me as one of my all-time favorite players. He will be missed and as many have written, he was "The Man"…

I'll be working on 31st it seems. I was on audit and found that while running a quick scan on a critical server there were lot of files that were being scanned (mostly with sys extension) but when I ran a search for the same files, I couldnt find anything. I was sort of expecting that because file names are hide_evr2.sys which according to lot places is a rootkit. Now the nature of the server is "extremely critical". Seeing this server compromised to an extent that Symantec Endpoint can see the file but can't detect it (I am not sure if they have def's for it but in any case it's freaking out stuff).
I'm writing this at a point where Im finding almost every server I examine with the same malware so Ill come down to the question
What should be my next step in examining the server?
Please note that we don't have a "real" incident response team or plan. I know my next level of escalation and I will be doing that accordingly. My question simply is how I examine these server from here on. I will of course create a copy of the HDD and examine there so beyond that please let the suggestions flow.
I know this case is related to malware infection only but Ive started it in Microsoft Security Discussions the reason being its a server running windows OS (2003) and this thread may server as a point of reference.
PS: Thanks a lot and HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE.

Ultimate Ford F-150 - Safer Towing & Better Handling: Part 1
It's Not Make Believe—It's Reality with the Right Bolt-On Parts
We've all passed the truck with the front end pointing towards the clouds as the rear leaf springs sag from all of the weight strapped to the tow hitch. Hopefully that scenario doesn't describe you when behind the wheel of your tow rig, but if it does, we have the perfect solution—and it's easy to install. Firestone has been making airbags for 75 years, and during that tenure it has perfected the system of pneumatic springs on all types of vehicles. For custom truck enthusiasts and for heavy-duty truck owners, Firestone also makes the Ride Rite system, which consists of vehicle-specific helper 'bags for safer towing. The really nice thing about a vehicle-specific kit is that it simply bolts up and usually takes less than four hours to install everything.
When it came time to examine the tow capabilities of our ultimate F-150 work truck, the added weight in the bed, combined with the weight of a trailer was an area of concern. One look at Firestone's application guide and we tracked down the perfect kit for our 2012 F-150 (PN: 2525, $314.10 at autoanything.com). Adding to the bolt-on helper airbag kit, we also ordered Firestone's top-of-the-line remote air management system. Basically, this upgrade allows the user to remotely adjust the rear ride height for optimal towing and hauling conditions. It also features an air hose that attaches to the compressor and can be used to inflate tires or sporting equipment. It proved incredibly easy to use and looked nice inside our F-150's interior. Now we can quickly and painlessly adjust the truck's ride height on the fly.
Editor's note:
The installation of a helper airbag setup suck as the Firestone Ride Rite Kit doesn't mean your F-150 was instally transformed into a F-350 Super Duty. It is still a requirement to follow the manufactures maximum GVWR and towing rating.

A report this week from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office contains a section that mentions how health-care reform offers many people relief from "job lock."
That's a reference to those who stick with a job simply to maintain their employer-based health insurance. Until the Affordable Care Act, they had no other option. Now, many people – perhaps 2 million or more – will be able to take advantage of new subsidies for health insurance and the new marketplaces for individual policies.
Simply put, many people have options for health insurance that no longer depend on a job. They'll be able to retire earlier, adjust their work life with home life, work fewer hours, start a business or pursue other vocations. It's their choice.
Those are good things, right? But opponents of the Affordable Care Act have trotted out the usual histrionics, shouting about "job killing" and destruction of the economy, accusations that have no factual basis. Some even call it "willful stupidity."
The deceptive rhetoric ties in with the detractors' stated desire to return to the good old days of allowing insurance companies to reject health care to individuals because of a previous illness. They'd also create more havoc for consumers by allowing health policies to be sold across state lines, which would weaken protections and hurt in-state firms.
The caution and suggestion here is to dig a little deeper below the headlines. But don't take just our word on this. Check out what a professor of pediatrics from the Midwest had to say about the newest criticism of the Affordable Care Act.
And see how health reform is already helping and will further assist Washington citizens in our updated report on the uninsured in our state.

Enhanced Water's Second Wave
Enhanced water. The segment carries quite a bit of resonance among beverage people because of the heady run of Vitaminwater in the early 2000s, and the outsize sum that Coca-Cola ultimately paid to buy it in 2007. Then things kind of went flat. If Vitaminwater hasn't gone as inert as, say, Izze in the hands of Pepsi or Sweet Leaf Tea in the hands of Nestle Waters, it's certainly far from those heady days when it was redefining the marketing of beverage brands and creating boundless excitement among consumers, retailers and distributors.
To me, the beauty of the enhanced water segment, from a marketing perspective, is that it doesn't ask consumers to radically change their consumption habits, but rather coaxes them into drinking a sugared water (albeit a little less sugar than those in CSDs) by offering the psychological cover of a modest level of nutrient reinforcement. Never mind just how much vitamin content the drink contains, or whether these are nutrients that the body isn't getting through its regular diet, or how well they're processed by the body. My hunch is, most consumers don't really care. Perhaps subconsciously, they want the cloak of nutrition to cover for their sweet tooth.
Vitaminwater led the charge into a new segment that had been flicked at by predecessors like SoBe, and garnered that staggering $4.1 billion buyout. The history gets interesting at this point. Immediately in the wake of the Glaceau deal, no small number of entrepreneurs made the assumption that, with the most valuable brand suddenly snatched from the independent DSD distribution system, there was a void. We saw an onrush of entrants trying to fill that gap, either with formulations that offered more meaningful vitamin reinforcement than the pixie-dust quantities in Vitaminwater or with some other enhancing ingredients, from antioxidants to functional compounds. Established beverage companies also felt they needed to respond: Pepsi stepped up its marketing behind its neglected SoBe brand, while Dr Pepper Snapple introduced Snapple Antioxidant Water. At one point, Talking Rain's ActivWater came close to forging a strategic alliance with brewer Anheuser-Busch – even booking a space in New York in which to make the announcement, before the plan fell through at the last minute. All those brands except SoBe pretty much sputtered out, and even SoBe has seemed to survive mainly as a tactical value brand. Witnessing all these shortfalls, it was easy to convince oneself that enhanced water might be one of those segments, like kombucha and energy shots, that's well-enough-served by a single premium entry.
Meanwhile, in the hands of Coke, Vitaminwater has, surprisingly quickly, descended into promotional hell, going well beyond even already-aggressive 10-for-$10 deals. It's never been clear to me why a company that paid such a premium price for Glaceau would waste so little time in ending the premium positioning of its core brand, but never mind that. The price moves took all the air out of the market, making it untenable for new players, much like the relentless promotion of Gatorade and Powerade makes it nearly impossible for new sports drinks to get a footing.
End of story, then? That's what many of us assumed. But bless the beverage business, it never ceases to regenerate itself. So in the past few years, we've seen a startling new burst of innovation, and some shows signs of sticking. It's a remarkable turn of events, given the prior history of the segment.
First came the flock of cap-dispensed drinks, harnessing a new technology to dispense the enhancements at the moment of consumption, thereby solving the problem of vitamins that degrade while immersed in water. The pioneer, Activate, drew an eye-catching investment from India's Tata Group, and rivals such as Karma, 989 OnDemand and VBlast have gone out with different caps and price points. So far, it's safe to say, the category hasn't ignited, and it may prove a tall order to coax Vitaminwater drinkers into paying an extra buck a bottle to solve a problem they didn't know existed – especially if the theory I stated earlier is correct and consumers may not really want to be reminded that Vitaminwater lacks any meaningful efficacy. Still, it's early days, and Activate has only begun its major marketing initiatives, even as the proliferation of cap technology promises additional entrants.
More surprising have been the other entrants – most of all, Sparkling Ice, from a new regime at Talking Rain, the company that earlier failed with ActivWater. Their strategies are a bit more amorphous than the cap-dispensed breed. Sparkling Ice is simple in concept and employs the artificial preservatives and coloring agents that, if you believe marketing surveys, consumers say they're increasingly inclined to reject.
As I write this, Ice seems like nothing less than a force of nature, approaching $400 million at retail. There seems little doubt that it's snatching share directly from Vitaminwater, which is in steep decline even as its Vitaminwater Zero sibling has plateaued. No doubt that's why Coke has relaunched one-time Vitaminwater sibling Fruitwater, this time as a cold-filled (that is, artificially preserved), sparkling brand that seems to be in conflict with what the core Vitaminwater brand stands for. That smells a bit of panic to me.
Also vying for similar consumers are easier-drinking functional items that blur the line with enhanced water, such as Bai-5 and Neuro, and flavored waters like La Croix and Cascade Ice. A few brands are melding nutrition and energy, such as Rockstar Energy Water and a startup from Vitaminwater vets called Agua Enerviva. It's all brought us a summer selling season that is brought first real drama in years to an enhanced water segment that was lacking not just vitamins, but of pizzazz and excitement.

ZL-1 Nothing gets your Chevy nerves tingling like the mention of this legendary piece of big-block history.
For those who need a reminder, the ZL-1 was an aluminum version (heads and block) of the Chevy Mark IV big-block. Designed for racing, it appeared on the scene in 1969, displacing 427 ci and making more than 500 hp. An instant powerhouse in drag racing and, later, in Can Am road racing, the ZL-1 also found its way into a handful of '69 production cars-the rarest of the famed COPO Camaros. These cars were sold mostly throughout the Midwest, like the famous Illinois dealership of Fred Gibb. There were even ZL-1-powered Corvettes.
The best figures put the number of ZL-1 Camaros built at 69 and the number of ZL-1 Corvettes at just two. To be honest, there weren't that many built for racing, either. A couple of hundred, maybe. Those lucky enough to get their hands on one usually enjoyed success at the track, but it was a rare animal, even in its heyday.
From the start, the ZL-1 was intended as a race engine. The street versions were de-tuned just enough to make them somewhat livable on the street-or, at least, on the drive to the dragstrip. With more than 500 horses and solid lifters, the ZL-1 427s were touchy and required constant valve adjustments. But, the all-aluminum motor saved about 100 pounds, compared to a big-block setup, which was a welcome benefit to nose-heavy Camaros and Corvettes.
Although the engines saved weight, they added cost. The ZL-1 just about doubled the price of the Corvette-same for the Camaro. Buying one for your race car wasn't cheap, either. By the mid-'70s, the expensive, exotic ZL-1 race engine faded away.
Throughout its production run, though, the casting of every ZL-1 aluminum engine block was handled by Winters Foundry. Known for its trademark "snowflake" logo, Ohio-based Winters has been a longtime supplier to General Motors. While the ZL-1 history dates back more than 30 years, the last few blocks were poured 20 years ago-just a footnote in Winters' records. It was a footnote, however, that didn't go unnoticed by some fast-thinking GM Motorsports personnel.
In the early-'90s Winters was changing its casting process from the more traditional sand-cast method to a permanent-mold setup. The company, after deciding to clear out some of the old sand-cast tooling, sent a memo to GM asking if any of the old tooling was wanted. When the list reached the desk of one Motorsports staff members, a particular seven-digit casting number, 3946053, piqued his curiosity. After a little research, it was discovered to be the ZL-1's tooling. After discussing the finding with a block engineer and fellow performance zealot at GM Motorpsorts, a road trip to Canton, Ohio, was planned to examine the tooling.
A couple of things to note here: Splayed, billet-steel, 4-bolt mains are an upgrade from the original ZL-1. Also check out the engraved cap. The enthusiastic staff at Schwartz Machine in Warren, MI, who finish each raw casting for GM, began etching each main cap with the "ZL-1" logo. GM didn't ask them do it-they just did it because they understand the history behind the block. They engrave the rear cam plug, too.
The pair found the tooling gathering dust in a corner of the foundry. It hadn't been used since the '70s. Though dusty, it was in excellent condition. In fact, with an estimated 300 blocks poured altogether, it was almost new compared to tooling used to make blocks by the thousands.
Arrangements were quickly made to have the ZL-1 tooling shipped to the foundry that makes current, aluminum GM Racing small-blocks and heads. During the next couple of years, the ZL-1 tooling was cleaned and revamped. Improvements were made on a few of the block's design details before pouring the first "new" ZL-1 block.
The biggest improvements included screw-in, O-ringed water jacket plugs and splayed, four-bolt 8620-billet steel main caps. The lifter valley was also modified to accept Gen VI-type roller lifters.
Overall, quality and serviceability of the block were improved. This better version of the ZL-1 offers brand-new blocks from the tooling of the originals. The best of both worlds, wouldn't you say?
No, the best would be some sort of ZL-1 crate engine. But it's not available... Well, not yet anyway.
Oh, wait. We weren't supposed to mention that!

Oh my GOSH. Happy Friday, comrades. It was a long week, but we're ending it in a special way. That special way is by meeting with Kate Smith of k.smith at Crema (the snazzy new coffee shop on Commercial Street, next to Rosemont's snazzy new produce market). This is an exclusive treat, since k.smith's web presence is pretty much limited to this Big Thaw post. So! The only way you'll be able to get your hands on these oh-so-soft bunny foo-foos, pot holders, herbal eye sachets, pillows and more is by coming to The Thaw — poor you! 😉
Sometimes it's best to let beautiful things speak for themselves. The light coming through the glass block windows, the warm wood tones of the tables at Crema and the upcycled stylings of Kate Smith speak for themselves — I won't yak about it anymore, just let you see for yourself:

Produced in a Vietnamese factory, which is owned by Japanese shoe-makers, who were trained in England using 19th century traditional methods, The Farmer is one of the most classically fabricated (and international) shoes we have made in recent years. Featuring buttery Italian leathers in classic gibson styles, The Farmers are the perfect all-purpose shoe for both office and tractor wear. Named in honour of Fluevoger Farmer Ted, who's Angels have work tirelessly over the years to provide Ted with bountiful harvests. Resists alkali, water, acid, fatigue and Satan, made in Vietnam.

Worst Shoes I've Owned
A dream.
These shoes are simply gorgeous. Beautifully smooth Italian leather, good quality stitching and just a joy to look at. The shape is beautifully masculine and delicate at the same time. I have received lots of compliments from total strangers!
Inside, these shoes are comfortable, which is really unusual for me. I have been on a 10 hour flight in them, walked around airports, and done my daily multiple mile on-foot commute on them, and it always feels like walking on clouds.
I was surprised to see they come with two sets of waxed shoelaces: a dark brown pair, and a bright turquoise pair that I would have never opted for. I now wear them exclusively with the turquoise shoelaces and they look so cool.
If you are not so used to the more European style aesthetics in shoes, they might feel a little too long or pointy at the beginning, but you will get used to them. I think the long and stylized shape is what takes them from forgettable everyday leather shoes to *art*.

The success of the comic book adaptation of Hasbro's "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" continues, charting in the top 100 for the year and becoming the publisher's most successful book of 2012.
As News 4 previously reported, the first issue of IDW's "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" comic book garnered over 100 thousand pre-orders. Many of these orders likely came from Bronies, adult fans of the animated series that the book is based on.
Now, the final sales numbers for comics for 2012 have been released. According to Diamond Comic Distributors "Top 500 of 2012," the first issue of "Pony," released in November, placed overall at #90 and #61 by dollar value sold, beating out many competing issues of comic stalwarts such as Batman, The Avengers, and others.
It is also the most successful comic for company IDW in the year of 2012. In fact, according to previous sales figures, this issue sold much more than the company's previous top-selling comic book. This makes Issue #1 of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" the most successful single issue in the company's history.
IDW was founded in 1999 and also currently publishes comics in such franchises as "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," and "G.I. Joe"
The highest-selling comic book in 2012 was from Image Comics and was "The Walking Dead" issue #100.

To our Alumni, Families, and Friends along the Gulf Coast,
All of us at Wabash College wish to extend our deep sympathy for the tragedy you have suffered in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Please know that you will remain in our thoughts and prayers during the difficult days to come.
We know that there are upwards of 75 Wabash alumni families who have been affected by the hurricane and more than a dozen current students hail from the region. We are relieved to know that our students' families are alive, but we share their concerns about how their lives will never be the same.
Wabash College is a place of action. Within hours of learning of the devastation caused by Katrina, Wabash men were ready to mobilize. In fact, students began raising relief funds before Katrina reached shore; others came to College officials asking to leave campus to help with recovery and relief efforts. Alumni called and emailed wondering how they could be of help.
We believe that the best ways for Wabash to help those most affected by this disaster is to serve as a communications hub and facilitator for action. The Wabash network of alumni, parents, and friends stretches from coast to coast and around the world. There are Wabash people serving in every possible line of work. While at present we do not know specifically how to help because the extent of the catastrophe is yet unknown, we do know that Wabash men and their families will reach out in what ever ways they can.
If you are an alumnus experiencing this tragedy, let us know. Contact your Class Agent and let him know that you are safe. Also let him know how the College and its network of alumni can be of help or service to you in your time of need. Your Class Agent will then inform our Alumni Office and we'll spread the word quickly; your classmates will want to know what they can do.
If you are the parent of a student, please communicate with your son as you are able. You might also wish to contact our Dean of Students Office so that we can make any arrangements necessary to care for your son. Through that office, we have the potential to reach across the student body to give support to your sons and determine ways in which we can serve you.
President Bush has called this "one of the worst natural disasters in our nation's history," and still we do not know the long-term, sustained significance of Katrina and its aftermath. As a liberal arts college whose mission it is to teach men to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely, we do know that we are well positioned to lend help and service to those in need.
Please use the Wabash network. All of us today wonder how we can best help; only you can let us know the ways in which we can assist you. Please feel free to contact my office, too, if you think I can be of assistance.
Andrew T. Ford, President

Embroidered afghan coat: Vintage via Etsy || Def Leppard top & coin necklace: Urban Outfitters || Criss Cross leggings: eBay (old) || Boots: Vagabond
One of my favorite winter outfits is definitely this one. I can't count how many times I already wore this exact combination, it really does match very well. I got this beautiful red 70s afghan coat with faux fur and embroidery on Etsy a while ago, it's perfect for winter. It's actually pretty rare to find a red afghan coat, because most of them are colored in brown or cream shades. Red has always been one of my favorite colors, so it's just perfect. Furthermore I'm wearing my favorite statement collar necklace, a Def Leppard top, platform heels and some mesh leggings I really dig - they're truly an eye-catcher and different to the usual leggings.
Hope you all have an awesome weekend!
Love x

I should say this sounds impressive, but the sql engines seem to be doing fine. Still some cleaning out of unused accounts should be done, because of the massive amount of spamaccounts. Most of them don't succeed in getting their accounts activated, but clog up the database for no reason. It more the extended forum structure -with different sections- that turned out a bit unstable a few months back.
We should keep on emphasizing the importance of keeping the attachment file size. No black/white schematic needs to be 600k. But it's mostly those 1MB direct from the camera gutshots that are dragging us down.
Thanks everyone for taking this in account.

Nashville, Tenn. – Earlier this week, former Tennessee State guard Wil Peters signed a deal to play basketball overseas with the BSW Sixers of the German ProB Bundesliga.
"I appreciate all the support from family and friends. This is only the beginning. All the praise and glory to God,"Peters said shortly after inking the deal. "One of the scriptures I stood by is Galatians 6:9: 'and let us not be weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap is we faint not.'"
Last season, the Sixers went 10-12 in Group North, which tied the club for seventh place. The squad also had two American-born players in Jeremie Simmons (Ohio State) and Paul Harrison (North Greenville).
Peters starred for the Tigers from 2008-2012, amassing 951 career points and 386 assists.
The Sixers will begin its season in the first week of October.

Police in Eastern Uganda are holding a 38-year-old farmer in connection with the murder of his cousin following a dispute about the construction of a pit latrine.
Rogers Wepukhulu of Wabagayi village, Sibanga sub-county, allegedly hit Moses Wabuyi, a primary school teacher in Kayunga district, with a metal bar after a disagreement.
Wabuyi reportedly wanted to construct a pit-latrine at his home.
However, Wepukhulu refused the Fuso lorry truck delivering the bricks for the construction to pass through his garden.
Wabuyi forced his way through the garden and proceeded to report the matter to Sibanga Police Post.
When Wepukhulu learnt that Wabuyi had reported the matter to the Police, he hit him with a metal bar, killing him instantly.
Wabuyi's relatives attacked Wepukhulu's home and threatened to burn down his houses and kill his animals.
The Police are guarding the home to prevent any attack.
Eastern region Police spokesman Iddi Ssenkumbi said the suspects will be charged with murder.

This is my effort with Majo's file.I used Tone Mapping with brighter RSE, RSL with a sky background...Probably should have increased the AA a bit more.... 49 mins at 1920 x 1080 with Cache + Estimator in GI
I couldn't resist, making this a good test for 2106 converting redstuff materials to lightworks materials and rendering with the LW plugin. Being that the file consisted of surface objects I was able to do this in Deluxe 2016 in a reasonable amount of time. Without the water lilies it rendered in 34 secs, with the lilies 540 secs.It's a screen capture,I used lightworks quality full render style.Thanks again Majo, for supplying us with an excellent file to work with.
I was very surprised to see how this file rendered with 2018. I like the look (sort of a noir feel to it), but still surprised.Majo, could you explain why this happened?Jeff
Update:here is link on the new file for the TurboCAD 2018 -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/18WXDR26W0EQziLthYrqPCIAuReavH5au/view?usp=sharing
Well, that is annoying. The entire purpose of a GPU is to get better results, faster, not worse results, slower. What was RedWay thinking?Jeff

Gilpin's is a very cheery place. There's a cute little outdoor seating area with carpet and a couch - it's so cute. I wanted to stay all afternoon!
There are so many choices. They have a wall of pre-compiled selections, a dry erase choose-your-own menu and this wall of user choices! Anybody can make their own sandwich and illustrate it and put it on the wall. That's kinda cool! I went for the choose-your-own cuz that's how I roll.
You order at the counter - and while you're there - check out the steamed cookies. I passed - watching my girly figure you know.
Okay - we decided to eat outside and this was on our table. LOVE IT! Seriously - I'm gonna go buy some juice just for the cartons.
Lovely Marla got the Peace, Love and Happiness (hummus, sprouts, avocado, tomato) on a wrap. I think she was pretty happy with it. I was a bit preoccupied so I forgot to ask.
When you sit outside - make sure you don't assume they're going to bring your sandwich out to you or say your name loud enough for you to hear. We went outside and they brought Marla's sandwich to her...
Then...I sat...and waited...and waited...and waited. I probably waited almost 10 minutes from when Marla got her wrap. Then one of the counter guys came out and asked if one of us was Heather and that my sandwich had been ready for a while. Let's just say he wasn't full of customer-friendly service at that moment.
Now I should have gone in sooner - cuz I was starting to get annoyed. But when they brought my friend's sandwich to her - I just assumed they were bringing mine too! I'd never been there and it wasn't that busy.
So note to the Gilpin's Guys - if I don't come get my sandwich in 5 minutes - holler my damn name a little louder.
Now for my sandwich. I got a garlic bagel with corned beef, veggie cream cheese, avocado and maybe something else - can't quite remember. And I got it "hot & steamy".
It was definitely still hot when I got it ten minutes later...but I have to say...I didn't love it. I think I like the toasted rather than the steamed. I love hot sandwiches - so I will always choose that - but not sure the steamy is for me.
It did seem fresh and I might give it another try and pick one of their pre-selected choices.

Restumping Gladstone Park
What is Restumping?
Stumps are the foundational blocks of every house. It is the stumps on which your entire house stands and hence, they serve the most important function of giving your home structural support. These stumps lose their efficiency with time due to a number of factors. Restumping is basically the process of resetting or replacing the stumps to ensure the structural integrity of your house. You must never ignore the factors which can lead to damage to your stumps. The damage is usually in the form of two things-
- Settling due to soil movement.
- Rotting due to the high moisture content in the soil.
Restumping the house is a complex process. Hence, it requires careful planning and consideration. Timber can easily become the target of moisture and insects. Same is the case with wooden stumps as well. Hence, concrete is the best option for stumps since it is durable and also resistant to weather, moisture and temperature changes. Masters Underpinning is the best company in Gladstone Park for all types of restumping services. Let us look at some of the benefits of using concrete stumps which makes them the best choice-
Benefits of Using Concrete Over Timber and Wood Stumps-
Concrete is a low maintenance material. Even temperature changes cannot have a great impact on concrete. Moreover, these are available in a variety of colors. Here are some of the benefits of concrete stumps you must know-
- These are highly stable.
- It leads to an even spread of weight and hence improved efficiency.
- Concrete stumps are also insect, pest and termite resistant.
- High temperatures can have adverse consequences on materials such as wood but this is not so with concrete. Rain, humidity and snowfall too can affect timber stumps but not concrete stumps. Hence, these are safer options which stays the same in every weather condition.
- Concrete stumps are also fire resistant and non-combustible.
Hence, concrete stumps no doubt are the best as compared to its timber or wooden counterparts. These are durable and easy to maintain. You must go for restumping Gladstone Park services to make your house more powerful.

The Importance of Restumping-
Wear and tear is a common phenomenon which affects everything especially with the passage of time. Stumps are not an exception either. If you stay in coastal regions with salt air, the chances of damage are even higher. This can lead to sinking of your house gradually or even worst, falling down of the entire building.

Reasons for Restumping and Foundation Repairs, Gladstone Park-
Foundation damage is a gradual process and hence is not so easily visible. Moreover, stumps lie under the ground due to which it is difficult to spot damage. But this doesn't mean that neglecting them is the best possible solution. Avail professional restumping Gladstone Park services as soon as you spot signs of damage. You must know what to expect in case of damage well in advance. If there are plumbing leaks or sub-surface water movement in your house, then the changes in water level can give rise to stumping problems. There can be crack formation too due to temperature and soil changes, evaporation and hot wind. The damage is even higher in case of uneven moisture. Having a strong foundation is important not just from strength point of view but also for increasing the resale value. Here are some of the signs to watch out for-
- Tree roots- this can disbalance the soil beneath your home.
- Plumbing leaks- excess water can increase the moisture level in the soil which in turn can lead to weakening of the foundation.
- Extreme weather conditions- this can lead to expansion and contraction of the soil.
- Inappropriate construction- using poor quality steel or concrete can also weaken your foundation quite fast.

Biscotti... pepperoni style?
Taking these biscotti into the savory depths is minced garlic, sharp Parmesan cheese, Italian seasonings, chopped red peppers, chopped onions, fresh parsley and of course the most fundamental ingredient, chopped pepperoni! There is just a dash of sugar in the recipe, but it is mostly there to give the biscotti some color as it bakes, rather than to sweeten. The dough was nice to work with and is on the drier side of most recipes, as I was not very sticky when I went to roll the dough halves into logs. To give them an extra special touch, the logs of dough are rolled into a bit more Parmesan cheese before being flattened on the baking sheet. After baking, the recipe calls for leaving the loaves on the baking sheet to cool for 60 minutes, but I cut them after about 35 and they cut just as clean as I could have hoped.
Once they have gone through their second baking, the tender biscotti are still firm and crisp, but they have more of a give to them than a sweet version. This was such a fun and different way to change up biscotti - they are very pizza-esque in flavor with the garlic, Italian seasonings, pepperoni and cheese. I will definitely be making these again... I imagine they would be an enjoyable side to dunk into some creamy warm tomato soup during the cool fall nights later this year!
Tonight's dinner recipe, Feast from the East, sure lived up to its name as it is packed with lots of colorful and filling ingredients. To stand up to all of the ingredients in the salad, a killer combination of hoisin sauce, broth, soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, fresh ginger, orange zest and a clove of garlic make up the generous dressing. The salad is a bountiful mixture of whole wheat spaghetti, grilled sirloin steak, crunchy broccoli florets, cool diced cucumber, carrots, green peas, green onions and a good handful of fresh basil from our plants on the deck. While this was certainly busy with many flavors and textures, they all seemed to play off with each other and combine into a cohesive, refreshing and attractive dish that left our bellies quite happy and stuffed.

That biscotti recipe sounds great and perfect to have as nibbles with a cocktail or a glass of wine.ReplyDelete
That biscotti looks wonderful. I think I would like the savory type better than the sweet -- what am I saying -- I'd love it ALL! I'm biscotti-challenged as I have never attempted it. Just might have to dust off my apron and give it a shot.ReplyDelete
Oh man, those biscotti look AWESOME! I will be trying these. Without a doubt.ReplyDelete
Where do you find these recipes?? I always know I can find out of the ordinary on your blog. Thank goodness =)
Hey Joe!ReplyDelete
I haven't checked in for a while and now I see lots of great recipes to try out. Love the look of those biscotti, I know my son will flip out for them! And.....those buns, I will be trying those out!
Those biscotti are fabulous! I never thought of manking a savoury version before, but im longing to try these out. As you say, perfect for dunking into soup. Good for fancy canapes too I should think. Thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
Helen - I like your line of thinking!ReplyDelete
Anj - Wow! You are missing out - really, pick out any biscotti recipe and give them a try!
Lis - I've always got my eyes peeled for recipes that look like something we can work with!
Melissa - Thanks! We've been quite busy around here!
Katie - Yeah, we have not made very many savory versions, but I will be changing that!
Goodness Joe! You continue to be an inspiration. These look wonderful, I will be giving them a try. mmmmmm.ReplyDelete
Oh my gosh! I made your coconut biscotti today, Joe. My first time and I can't believe I waited so long. It wasn't hard at all. Doing the happy kitchen dance.ReplyDelete
Yum! That biscotti sounds delicious. I just love the way you present your creations in photos. You're so clever.ReplyDelete

Iowa Republicans are doing what Republicans do best: attacking the rights of women.
On Wednesday, State Sen. Rob Bacon (R-Scrambled Eggs) and eight very serious Republicans introduced a bill that would address one of the most pressing concerns facing Iowans. No, not job creation or Climate Change or the fragile housing market. No. They've taken up the task of redefining murder. According to the Ames Tribune, the bill would "alter the definition of a person in murder cases to "an individual human being, without regard to age of development, from the moment of conception, when a zygote is formed, until natural death."
"It's to protect the life of the unborn," Bacon told the Tribune. "There's still some of us that believe life begins at conception."
This would make the constitutionally protected right of a woman to terminate a pregnancy illegal. Hormonal birth control that would interfere with the implantation of a fertilized egg would naturally be illegal as well. Bacon and his fellow Republicans, seven of which are, unsurprisingly, men and one, Sandy Salmon, who is conveniently past her child bearing years, are well aware that their bill has no chance of passing but that wasn't the point:
"I've felt long and hard after the last election that we need to change our message. Within our party, we're going to differ on social issues. One of them is the right to life. There are some who say that we need to ease up on this because it's not winning us anything. My thought is we can't let this drop. Even if I'm in here screaming to empty walls, I will always be a voice for the unborn."
I honestly don't think I've ever seen the modern Republican Party summed up better than that: "Screaming at empty walls."
It's good to see that the GOP is taking the right lessons from the 2012
bloodbath election. The American people just haven't had enough of the right wing culture war so it only makes sense to go as far to the right as possible. Don't stop now, Republicans! You've got 2014 in the bag!
Feel free to tell me what a terrible person I am on Facebook or follow me on Twitter @FilthyLbrlScum

Chris Rusin was outstanding Thursday afternoon, which is nothing new this Spring as he has been nothing short of brilliant. The lefty is slated to start the 2013 season in the Iowa rotation, and if he has continued success like this don't be surprised if he is back at Wrigley sooner than later, either starting or coming out of the pen.
Brent Lillibridge made a triumphant return to the lineup going 2-for-3 with a double and two runs scored. Welington Castillo got the start behind the plate and was 1-for-2 with a triple, two RBI's and a run scored. Luis Valbuena (1), Brian Bogusevic (2), Dave Sappelt (1), and Darnell McDonald (1) had the rest of the runs knocked in.
As I mentioned, Chris Rusin was awesome. Rusin tossed five nearly perfect innings, giving up no runs on one hit while walking one, and striking out one. Raley improved to 2-0 on the Spring with a 0.69 ERA, he has worked thirteen innings this spring and has given up one run. Drew Carpenter, Jaye Chapman, and Blake Parker all had scoreless appearances in the victory.
Split squad action tomorrow as half the team will face the White Sox on the road, and the other half will face off against Team Japan. Travis Wood will make the start against Team Japan, and Scott Feldman will work against the White Sox.
Thanks for reading,
– George

|List problems/SPAM/new list name
|View as plain text
Hi, [This message is sent to all lists. If you get more than one, it's because you're on more than one list.] Lists will be faster and with less SPAM (see below). Please use these. The old ones will stop to work in a while. The host (lists.mysql.com) has had a few problems which are being fixed. All lists have changed names: mysql@stripped announce@stripped developer@stripped myodbc@stripped win32@stripped msql-mysql-module@stripped All lists except "announce" have digest lists associated with them. As long as there are new messages, digest go out every 2 days (more often if there is a lot of traffic - for the mysql list it's 1-2/day). The digest list name is the list name followed by "-digest". Thus, for myodbc it is myodbc-digest@stripped. All list administrative commands are handled by command addresses. Nothing needed in the body/subject! To subscribe to the mysql list, send a message to mysql-subscribe@stripped. To get help for that list, write mysql-help@stripped, to subscribe to the digest, mail mysql-digest-subscribe@stripped. There are headers in each message with these addresses. Specifically, there is an unsubscribe address that has your subscription address coded into it. A message to this address will always get you off the list. For friends of smartlist, there is emulation of the "-request" address. For friends of majordomo, there is emulation of majordomo at mdomo@stripped (it will interpret only the first body line and ignore the rest). Subscribe/unsubscribe require confirmation. Addresses that bounce for more than 3 weeks are removed automatically. If all else fails, write to the list-owner address (e.g. mysql-owner@stripped) for human help. Make sure to include a message from the list [since all information needed is usually contained in it]. POSTS -Messages with a single command word (like "subscribe" or "help") are rejected. The rejection message contains administrative info. -Messages with empty Subject: are rejected. SPAM (not yet in effect since messages are still being forwarded from the old addresses): -The host refuses mail from RBL mapped spam sites (see http://www.maps.vix.com). -Messages that do not have the list address in To/Cc will be rejected. -"who" is not allowed. Spammers love to collect addresses that way. Usually, this suffices. If not, subscriber-only posts (with moderation backup) is an option. Lists are run by qmail-1.03 with ezmlm-0.53 + ezmlm-idx-0.32 and of course using a MySQL database backend. For more info, see http://www.mysql.com and http://www.ezmlm.org and http://www.qmail.org. -Sincerely, Fred (Frederik Lindberg, Infectious Diseases, WashU, St. Louis, MO, USA)
