Final Thoughts: Vikings Look for Bounce-Back Effort vs. Cardinals
Team Reporter
EAGAN, Minn. — A season ago, there were 11 teams around the league (including the Vikings) that started in an 0-2 hole.
None of them made the playoffs.
Minnesota has an 0-1 record as it enters a Week 2 road matchup against Arizona. And while Sunday's loss to the Bengals counts for just one game, the Vikings know the onus is on them to ramp up the intensity and production this week.
"It's one loss. It means no different than a loss in Week 16, Week 17, Week 8. It doesn't matter," Thielen said. "If anything, it kind of kicks you in the butt and says, 'Better get your butt going,' and 'Better focus a little bit more,' and 'Be a little bit more attentive to detail,' and 'You better be a little bit more prepared for that following week.'
"Because it just shows you it doesn't matter who you're playing, you have to play well to win in this league," Thielen added.
Vikings running back Dalvin Cook echoed Thielen's comments on Minnesota's mindset heading into Week 2:
"There's no sense of panic coming from us. There's 16 more tries to do this thing," Cook said. "Everybody is going to have opinions of how things are going to go from Week 1 and how it should go. But all that matters is the guys in the locker room and how we attack things from now on."
The only team in Vikings history to start 0-2 and make the postseason was the 2008 squad, which rallied to go 10-6 and win the NFC North.
The odds might be stacked against the Vikings if they lose Sunday against a Cardinals team that looked dynamic in a Week 1 win.
The best way to avoid such a start and calm the naysayers? Eliminate the penalties, win the turnover battle and find a way to get to .500 in the early part of the season.
"We're excited to get back out there and get back to work," Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said, "and try to be the team that I believe we can be."
Here is what Eric Smith, Lindsey Young and Craig Peters of Vikings.com will be watching in Sunday's season opener:
Let Dalvin do his thing | By @Eric_L_Smith
Perhaps the most telling quote of the week came Monday from Zimmer, who was commenting on the fact his team attempted 49 passes in Week 1.
"You put yourself in a bad situation where you have to throw the ball, and that's not how we're built," Zimmer said.
It's no secret the Vikings want to be a run-first offense, with the run game setting up play-action passes from Kirk Cousins.
The Vikings struggled to run the ball in Week 1, with Cook tallying just 61 yards on 20 carries. And while penalties and long-yardage situations certainly hampered those efforts, they don't tell the whole story.
Cook had 11 total carries on first-and-10 (downs that weren't affected by penalties), and logged just 20 yards on those attempts, with six going for one yard or less.
The Vikings certainly need to get Cook going in the run game, which would provide a dual effect by giving Minnesota's offense balance and keeping Arizona's high-flying offense on the sideline.
The Vikings, as Zimmer noted, must play to how they are built. That means a steady dose of Cook, even if he is the focal point for a Cardinals defense that limited two-time NFL rushing champ Derrick Henry to 58 yards on 17 carries last week.
"Just being consistent — don't let it rattle you. As a runner, when you've been running the ball for so long, those things don't bother you," Cook said. "You find the crease and just do what you do. Just being consistent. Just keep it going. Like I said, it's nothing new for me. I know it's nothing new for my offensive line.
"We've just got to clean a lot of things up, knowing who we're getting on, knowing who we're going to in the defensive fronts and stuff like that," Cook added. "We should be good."
Prepping for Jones & Watt | By*@LindseyMNSports*
The Vikings offense will likely have its hands full Sunday when facing a stout Cardinals pass rush led by edge rushers J.J. Watt (101 career sacks) and Chandler Jones (102 career sacks).
Jones alone recorded an impressive 5.0 sacks against the Titans in Week 1; and while Watt didn't notch a sack, he did add a quarterback hit and tackle for loss.
Vikings Offensive Coordinator Klint Kubiak emphasized there's been "a lot of production" from Jones.
"We're going to have our work cut out for us," Kubiak said. "We've got to have a plan, we've got to have a protection plan and got to be able to run the football a little too to help out so you're not always in drop-back situations."
Vikings tackle Brian O'Neill recognizes the task facing him and the rest of the offensive line.
"We're going to know where 55 is lined up on the field at all times. He's a heck of a player. I have a ton of respect for him. In my eyes, he's one of the elite guys in the league and has been doing it for a long time, so I have nothing but respect for him," O'Neill said. "And 99, J.J. has been around, been there and done that for years. Nothing but respect for both of them.
"They've got some big inside guys – Isaiah Simmons – they've got guys all over the place, so we're not taking them lightly," O'Neill added. "We understand the challenge ahead, and we're embracing it, and we're going to go put our best foot forward."
Collective effort needed for containment | By @pcraigers
It is fitting to mention Arizona QB Kyler Murray's ability to extend plays and improvise on the 60*th* anniversary of Fran Tarkenton coming off the bench to dart away from Bears defenders in the Vikings inaugural game, a 37-13 win over Chicago on Sept. 17, 1961.
According to Nex Gen Stats, Murray traveled 43.5 yards before firing a pass that gained 18 in Week 1.
The Vikings are without Anthony Barr again, as well as Everson Griffen, who suffered a concussion during a car accident this week while swerving to avoid a deer. Linebackers Eric Kendricks and Nick Vigil spent time on the injury report this week. That's already a somewhat short-handed unit against an offense that featured jetpacks last week.
Limiting Murray, whose weapons include DeAndre Hopkins and A.J. Green, will be a collective effort.
"We can't just assume somebody's got him down, because he can get out of a lot of different things," Co-Defensive Coordinator Adam Zimmer said. "He's extremely fast; we have to take great angles to the football. … He likes to get out of the pocket, so when he does, we have to do a great job of staying on the receivers and chase him down when we have the opportunity."
The Vikings will try to give multiple looks for Murray to process, ranging from spying him to mixing up coverages.
"Sometimes it's the whole defense, sometimes you're not specifically spying him, but you're in zone coverage and everybody's responsible for him," Adam Zimmer added.
Notable Number: 154
Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson will make his return to the desert this weekend.
He spent the previous 10 seasons of his career with Arizona, notching eight Pro Bowls, three All-Pro honors and becoming one of three cornerbacks included on the Pro Football Hall of Fame's 2010s All-Decade Team that was announced in April 2020.
Peterson spent 154 games in red for the Cardinals, a mark that ranks 15th all-time in team history and is the third-most among Arizona cornerbacks.
"As far as my welcome back, I really don't know [what to expect]," Peterson said this week. "It may be easier said than done, but I'm really treating this like another game on the schedule. I'm not expecting anything, but if it comes, I would definitely welcome it."

LAPD arrested 7 people after hitting 9 locations as part of an identity theft ring that operated out of houses and apartments in Los Angeles and Glendale.
Glendale Police pulled over one of the suspects on a traffic violation and learned that the LAPD, LA County Sheriff's, the Secret Service and the Attorney General's Office were looking into these people. Law enforcement seized devices used to scam credit card information from gas pumps, computers used to download this information, credit card machines, blank plastic credit cards and even a 100 gallon tank hidden in a truck used to steal gas.
Police say these suspects have guns and likely have gang ties, but made no specific confirmation on that.
Identity theft in Los Angeles is a serious crime and something that the District Attorney's Office prosecute's aggressively. Identity theft is typically charged as a felony in Los Angeles and, as seen from this article, can draw the attention of the Federal government. It is also a crime of moral turpitude which, if convicted of, may have a severe negative impact on your criminal record and finding a job.
Identity theft is something that, depending on someone's prior criminal history, can be resolved by an experienced attorney without any jail time whatsoever. Civil compromises, probation and restitution of any out of pocket losses by the victim's are priorities of the prosecutors and judges and something that can often be reached through a plea bargain.
If you have been arrested for theft, identity theft, grand theft, burglary or petty theft, contact Ross Erlich now for a free consultation and to discuss what your options are. Ross Erlich has experience in getting no jail time for people charged with theft of thousands of dollars and charged with multiple felonies.
Nathan Campbell, accused of ramming pedestrians on the Venice boardwalk over the weekend and killing one, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to one count of murder, 16 counts of assault with a deadly weapon and 17 counts of hit-and-run.
Campbell was in custody in front of Airport Court felony arraignment judge Keith Schwartz who set bail at $1.48 million. Campbell is currently being represented by a Los Angeles County Public Defender who told press he does not believe his client intended to kill anyone.
For those unfamiliar with this incident, Campbell was arrested after police say he intentionally drove his car around barriers on the Venice boardwalk and aimed his car at pedestrians. One woman was killed as a result of the impact.
It has since been discovered that Campbell has had arrests in Colorado and Florida for shoplifting and reckless drivings under the influence of alcohol. Further details reveal that Campbell may have been living out of his car and has ties with the homeless community in Malibu.
Campbell is facing some serious charges at the Airport Courthouse and, if convicted, could be facing life in prison.
If you have been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon or hit and run in the Airport Courthouse, it is important for you to consult with an attorney before making any statements to the police or other law enforcement personnel. Communicating (through your attorney) with law enforcement and the prosecutor's office early may help you either avoid having any charges filed against you or get a reduction in what would have been originally charged. Sometimes hit-and-run's can be resolved through a civil compromise which permanently suspend criminal proceedings against the accused.
Serious charges requires a serious criminal defense attorney. If you have been charged with a crime in the Airport Court, CCB, Criminal Courts Building, Pasadena Court or any other court in Los Angeles County, contact attorney Ross Erlich 24/7 for a free case consultation.
A 70-year-old man is in custody after police say he failed to stop his car after hitting a woman and her toddler with his SUV in the North San Fernando Valley last week.
Witnesses at the scene told police officers that the toy car the toddler was in was pushed by the man's car for approximately one block before bystanders flagged down and stopped the driver.
The man was driving his car without a license and was arrested on suspicion of felony hit and run, a violation of California Vehicle Code section 20001.
Witnesses at the scene also told officers that it appeared the man was unaware that he was pushing the toy car with the toddler inside of it and that he only drove approximately one block.
California Vehicle Code section 20001, more commonly known as felony hit and run, is a "wobbler" in the state of California. This means the prosecutor can charge this crime as either a felony or a misdemeanor, usually depending on the facts of the case and the suspect's prior criminal record.
If the hit and run is charged as a misdemeanor, the defendant is looking at a maximum of 1 year in the county jail and a $1,000 fine. If the accident resulted in death or some other serious injury, jail time is usually always sought.
If the hit and run is charged as a felony, the defendant is looking at a fine between $1,000 and $10,000 and between 16 months to 3 years in state prison. If there was death or serious injury, typically the state prison commitment goes up to between 2 to 4 years.
If you have been in an accident in California, you are required by state law to stop your car, identify yourself and provide your license, insurance, registration or any other relevant documents to the other driver.
If you have been arrested for, or charged with, a hit and run in the Los Angeles area, it is important to contact an attorney before making ANY statements to law enforcement. After years of experience handling hit and run cases, I have only seen these statement come back to hurt people's cases. Contacting an attorney early on in the process can help facilitate a civil compromise or other possible resolution to your case which can avoid a conviction on your record and points on your license.
If you have been involved in a hit and run in Los Angeles, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, Burbank or any other part of Los Angeles County, contact attorney Ross Erlich today for a free consultation.


"Hackers Go After Pirate Bay Investigator"
A police IT forensics specialist has had some of his personal details leak via The Pirate Bay. Jim Keyzer, who led the investigation into the popular tracker, has just discovered that his girlfriend's email account was compromised by hackers, who obtained several passwords and other personal documents.
The torrent, titled "Where did the money come from?" exposes some of the policeman's passwords and account details, including some documents relating to a house he recently bought. The title hints at Keyzer's short employment at Warner Bros. while he was working on the police investigation, but this implied link seems a little tenuous.
According to the release info the documents were released by the 'Keyzer Defender' and were obtained from Keyzer's girlfriend's Hotmail account. "These attachments are taken from mails in the Hotmail account belonging to Jim Keyzer's girlfriend. Also included are login credentials and some of Jim's passwords," it reads.
Keyzer has contacted the Pirate Bay team and said that he found it unfortunate that his girlfriend was hacked because of his involvement with The Pirate Bay case. He did not ask for the torrent to be removed, which shows that he learned at least one thing during the investigation.
Keyzer became the subject of some controversy when he started working for Warner Bros. before the Pirate Bay investigation was closed. After a short stay at the movie company Keyzer terminated his leave of absence, and returned to the IT Crime Unit in Stockholm.
During the Pirate Bay trial Keyzer inexplicably disappeared but now weeks later, his girlfriend appears to have been dragged into the dispute. The Pirate Bay certainly provokes a certain passion in their fanbase, and some are clearly prepared to go to extreme lengths to show that their beloved site is not to be messed with.

Q: No quick info in disassembly view I'm trying to write an extension for Visual Studio based on https://github.com/microsoft/VSSDK-Extensibility-Samples/tree/master/AsyncQuickInfo.
I want to show quick info if mouse hover on mnemonics while debugging (the disassembly view).
But it doesn't work as expected, it only display when mouse hover at spaces, not when hover the mnemonics.
For example, mouse hover in call shows nothing, but it work if hover between mnemonic and operands (the spaces).

I've added PredefinedTextViewRoles.Debuggable to the provider but help nothing.
[Export(typeof(IAsyncQuickInfoSourceProvider))]
[Name("Line Async Quick Info Provider")]
[ContentType("any")]
[TextViewRole(PredefinedTextViewRoles.Debuggable)]
internal sealed class LineAsyncQuickInfoSourceProvider : IAsyncQuickInfoSourceProvider

Try build in vs2019 or vs2022 keep the same.
Also try changed the Order attribute to Order(After="default") or Order(Before="default") but still no work.
Anyone have any idea how to fixed it?
While debugging, I can confirm that the GetQuickInfoItemAsync returns as expected, but no quick info window shows.

In the wake of a federal court ruling that found the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) priorities (women, veterans and economically/socially disadvantaged individuals) unconstitutional, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has withheld almost 3,000 additional RRF approved payments to priority recipients.

Congress Unveils More RRF Funds
Earlier this week, bi-partisan legislation was introduced in Congress to pump an additional $60 billion into the depleted Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF).

A panel of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the 21-day exclusive priority for businesses owned by a "woman, veteran and/or socially or economically disadvantaged individual" to apply for and access funds from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) is unconstitutional.

I've been engaging in conflict resolution work for most of my 20 plus-year career. It's a heck of a lot easier to be the mediator than it is to be a participant. It's been awhile since a situation has riled me up as much as this, so it brought home the raw reality of how hard conflict and repairing broken relationships can be.
I didn't do a good job of taking care of myself – Having emotions is human. But rather than acknowledging the fact that I had a strong emotional reaction and doing something productive to discharge it and recover, I ranted and raved to anyone who would listen.
I focused my emotions on bashing him as a person. There was a sense of moral superiority. "I am good and he is bad." This dualistic thinking leaves no room to heal the relational fracture. I didn't see his playing the video as an inappropriate behavior or poor choice. HE (as a human being) was wrong, which caused me to become disgusted with him.
I chose to assume the worst. Because my focus turned to him as a person instead of the behavior, I created a story about why he did this that assumed mal-intent. I assumed he knew better and chose to do it anyway. I assumed he didn't care if it upset me. I assumed he didn't care that it could offend my daughter or cause my son to think such behavior in men is ok.
Conflict occurs no matter the context. We're all different; different backgrounds, different experiences, different thoughts and different feelings. These variances cause clashes, which directly impact relationships. As leaders, we can choose to ignore these clashes – leaving a wake of broken relationships in our lives or the lives of our teams – or we can choose the hard work of leaning in to try to seek restoration.
As for me, I want restoration. It's not easy and it's not quick, but here are the steps I'm choosing in order to lean in.
Step outside the moral superiority by becoming humble. There's a certainty with superiority that leaves no room for reconciliation. I had to acknowledge my own imperfection. There are plenty of things I do that hurt others. I hope to be forgiven in those situations, so I need to be open to offering forgiveness.
Acknowledge the value of the person. Each person is valuable. And yet, each person is broken. Rather than assume my relative is a horrible human being because of his poor choice, I need to recognize he's just as broken and messed up as I am. This softens my heart to begin being curious. Curiosity ushers in the ability to have a dialog and determine intentions rather than assumptions.
Be transparent about my needs. The two steps above prepare me for a hard conversation. They slow me down and soften the sharp edges of my emotion. I want to be willing to hear his perspective on what happened and what he needs from me. And I need to courageously share why this situation didn't work for me and what I need from him so that our relationship can heal.
Is any of this easy? Of course not! It has to do with people and people are messy. But I believe they're worth it. When people are in right relationship, trust flourishes and just about anything is possible. My relative and I stubbed our toes; the fabric of our lifelong relationship doesn't have to be torn. So I choose to have the hard conversation. I choose to listen. I choose to risk vulnerability and speak what's true for me.

But will it be able to supplant iTunes as your go-to iTunes podcast app? We'll see if the Mac app stands up to its iOS predecessor.
Click the plus sign at the bottom of the window to start adding subscriptions. Browse through the different genres, or search for what you want. I found absolutely everything I was looking for, but it wasn't always easy. When I tried searching for the Global News podcast from the BBC World Service, pretty obvious keywords like "BBC" and "World Service" didn't do me any good, but I did find it when I browsed the News & Politics podcasts. Other podcasts were tracked down right away, and like I said, I did find everything I wanted, eventually.
Browse for podcasts or do a search.
Once subscribed to a ton of podcasts, you might be thinking, "Okay, now what?" Sure, you can just start listening to all of them in succession, but mixing your news, lifestyle, and tech podcasts up probably doesn't make for the best listening experience. That's why Instacast gives you Lists. Click over there to start organizing your podcasts into more manageable chunks. There are lists automatically created to handle unplayed episodes or your most recently updated stuff, but you can also create lists of similar podcasts to listen to together.
You may be used to downloading podcasts before you listen to them, and you can certainly do that with Instacast, but if you don't want tons of podcast episodes that you only plan to give a single listen crudding up your hard disk, that's okay, too. Instead, stream what you listen to. Even if you plan on downloading everything, you can still use Instacast's streaming function to skip ahead in the currently downloading episode, saving you the trouble of waiting for it to finish.
Lists are great for organizing your podcasts.
Instacast will share just about anywhere, right from the app, and enabled services include App.net, Pocket, Readability, and Twitter. I was disappointed to see Facebook was left off of the list, but this is only a beta version after all. Support for additional sharing services may be coming with a future release.
I know what you're thinking. It sure sounds great to get your podcasts out of iTunes. Even Apple is moving podcasts out of iTunes on iOS with their Podcasts app. But if your subscriptions are in iTunes, how are they going to sync to your iPhone or iPad? I hear you, iOS users. Instacast has long had you covered, though. With the Instacast app for iOS, you can create an account that will allow you to sync your podcasts among your devices running Instacast. It's too bad for Android users, though. Vemedio, the people who make Instacast, have said there are no plans for Android support.
You can sync your podcasts via your Instacast account if you have the iOS app.
If you don't have Instacast for iOS or even own an iOS device, you're out of luck for now. Instacast is in beta, and there's no account creation in the beta Mac app. That's all going to change though, so you'll be able to sync up your podcasts to your Instacast Cloud account. You'll still need an iOS device running the Instacast app to get your podcasts to play on the go, though.
There are lots of great ways to take control of your podcasts. In the applications preferences, you can set how often you'd like Instacast to check for new episodes, but you can also tailor update frequency to each podcast. For instance, if most of your podcasts are weekly, let Instacast know not to look for podcasts more than once a day; that way you'll get each new podcast as it rolls in throughout the week. Your news podcasts that get updated a couple of times a day, though, need to be checked more frequently, and you can edit that in the individual podcast.
Instacast's preferences let you decide how and when your podcasts are downloaded.
Set a limit on how much storage Instacast can use. If you want to stack your podcasts to the ceiling, go for broke and take on 50 GB, but if space is at a premium on your Mac, keep things under 1 GB. You can maximize Instacast's allotted space by only downloading the most recent episode from each podcast and not downloading video content, options available in Instacast's preferences. On systems where storage is at a true premium, auto-delete old episodes, as well.
Instacast is a nice change from iTunes, especially for those of us who are always looking for an alternative to the resource-hogging behemoth. To make it really worthwhile to anyone who likes to play their podcasts on the go, though, you'll need to invest in the $4.99 iOS app, too. Since we're talking about costs, it bears mentioning that while this is a free beta, Mac licenses are available for purchase for $14.99 right now, and the price looks to go up with the full release.
Instacast is simple to use and a breath of fresh air for podcast addicts. For anyone already on board with the popular iOS version, it will likely be an easy decision to pick up the matching Mac up. For everyone else, it's a question of whether the easy functionality is enough to make it work the price. Definitely check it out while it's still free and in beta, and get a firsthand look for yourself.
Nice alternative to iTunes for podcasts. Look to the accompanying iOS app for mobile syncing.

Chris Veness (Chris Fender Black) – Rest in Peace

Chris Veness/Black – Rest in Peace
By Margaret Sheard….
On Tuesday 26th January I was devastated to note a couple of postings on Facebook about the death of Chris Veness or Chris Fender Black as he is known in the rock 'n' roll world. Since then there have been so many condolence
messages on Facebook from the many friends Chris has made over the years.
Living in North Cyprus I never actually got to meet Chris although I felt I knew him as a distant friend through the many dealings we had regarding his national service days with the Suffolk Regiment in Cyprus and later their "old boys" reunions in the UK which he arranged together with Derek Chilvers who also served in Cyprus with Chris, so they go back a long way.
From what I have been able to learn, Chris had a heart attack on Thursday 21st January and was rushed unconscious to hospital but sadly he didn't make it and died on Tuesday 26th January.
Chris was a "rocker" for all his adult life and I gather he was performing in Swindon the week before his heart attack. A rocker to the very end, which I am sure is just what he would have wanted.
My recollections are of his army days in Cyprus and I have written about the days of the wonderful camaraderie they enjoyed and give some of the links below. Chris set up a band while in Cyprus and cyprusscene was able to help him locate one of the group after some 55 years and they met up again on 13th October 2014. Chris was so happy that he had found his old pal after all those years and we are so pleased that we helped make it happen.
From time to time Chris would send me a few snippets of his Cyprus memories and later every now and again a joke, from
what must have been an archive of jokes, in his normal happy go lucky fashion.
Chris performed with so many well-known celebrities a lot of us remember from the 1960's and 1970's and when Cynthia Lennon died last year, Chris sent me some notes for an article, and this can be seen by clicking here. There is also shown below a youtube recording of an appearance in a programme called The 1952 Show with Len Goodman.
The many friends Chris has made over the years
will miss him, as will the rock 'n' roll scene of which he was very much an active part right up to the end. I always thought of him as a bit 'eccentric' and he lived life to the full but reading between the lines I also realised that he was a very caring and thoughtful person.
Condolences to Chris's family – Rest in Peace Chris

Nike Sportswear is dropping their Air Max 1 2014 spring collection with three fresh colorways to choose from. Coming in black/sail, gym red/sail and pro green/sail, each shoe has a tonal mesh/suede upper, an off-white Air Max midsole, and gum rubber outsole. You can pre-order straight from Titolo for $185 USD.


As terrible as the toll of the 9/11/01 attacks on New York was in terms of human lives lost, that horrendous toll also includes the loss of modernist landmarks. The collapse of the Minoru Yamasaki-designed twin towers of the World Trade Center left a gaping hole in lower Manhattan that is finally being filled after a decade of contentious property and design struggle.
Although Frank Lloyd Wright may well have scoffed at Yamasaki's sleek, modern skyscrapers, there is at least one indirect connection between the two architects: the 1968 First Day of Issue ceremony for the two-cent Frank Lloyd Wright stamp's Buffalo debut was held at the Yamasaki-designed One M&T plaza [see "Wright's Two Cents"], with dedication remarks that put Wright in a larger context of modern buildings in Buffalo (a context that might have made him squirm if he had heard them).
One can only hope that the One World Trade Center tower ("Freedom Tower") now rising above the WTC site can fulfill Yamasaki's altruistic vision, as his former landmarks ultimately failed to do.

Change in venue recommended for party: Franklin Fire chief says lack of sprinklers is too much of a danger
Brian Eastwood / Daily News Staff
FRANKLIN -- Citing the lack of sprinklers at Franklin High School, Fire Chief Gary McCarraher said this is the last year he will allow the All-Night Party to be held in that building.
"In future years, permits will only be issued for the Horace Mann School or other facilities protected with an automatic fire sprinkler system," McCarraher wrote in a March 22 letter to School Superintendent David Crisafulli.
The All-Night Party has been held the night of graduation for more than a decade. Its aim is to give seniors a safe, substance-free place to get together, said Paula Coughlin, co-chairwoman of the All-Night Party's decorating committee.
Coughlin said she and other volunteers hoped to get through this year's event, which is June 3, before addressing McCarraher's request.
"We're working on this year's party now. That's our concern right now," Coughlin said Friday. "We (usually) don't start thinking about next year until we finish this year."
For the party, volunteers decorate 11 different areas of the high school. Each area represents one part of an overall theme.
In his letter, McCarraher estimated that between 500 and 1,000 pounds of material such as wood, paper and cardboard is used at the party. That material is then covered with a fire-resistant coating.
McCarraher wrote that his concern is not that a fire that could start near the decorations themselves, but one that could start in a restroom, "developing undetected and reaching sufficient volume and ferocity to breach into the hallway."
The Horace Mann Middle School, in the same Oak Street complex as the high school, reopened this fall.
"That, to me, is a viable alternative in close proximity to the high school," McCarraher said Friday.
Franklin High School was built in the 1970s and does not have an automatic fire sprinkler system. Such a system would have to be added if the school undergoes a "substantial renovation," McCarraher said.
School officials have made a fiscal 2005 capital request for an $80,000 architectural study to look into renovations at the high school. Town Council has not decided whether to fund this request.
"My hope is that we'll see that happen sometime in the next few years," McCarraher said of proposed renovations.
Crisafulli said Thursday he supports McCarraher's decision to move the All-Night Party.
School Committee Chairman Jeffrey Roy said committee members hope McCarraher and the All-Night Party can work out a new arrangement between themselves.
McCarraher will go before the School Committee to discuss the issue when it meets in July, Roy said Friday.
"If they can work it out, fine. If they can't, (the School Committee) will get more involved," he said.
Coughlin said she hopes All-Night Party volunteers and McCarraher can resolve the issue "amicably."
Roy agreed, calling the party "one of the traditions after graduation."
"(The School Committee) highly value(s) the All-Night Party and we want to see it continue because it's such a wonderful program," Roy said. "To see something like that lost would be awful."


Ask for anyone's short list of beer flaws and invariably you will hear "DMS—dimethyl sulfide," bested only by the other D-word "diacetyl." Unlike diacetyl, which is created during fermentation, the cause and cure for DMS happen before yeast ever touches the wort.
For those who have never had the pleasure of encountering this "flavor attribute," DMS is often described as a cooked-corn flavor, but you may also be reminded of the inside of a can of black olives or canned tomato paste. If you ever have the chance to taste a particularly potent example, you may be able to then find it in a surprising number of beers, both commercially brewed and homebrewed.
DMS is a sulfur compound that is created by s-methylmethionine (SMM) sometimes called simply "DMS precursor." SMM develops during the germination of barley and is therefore present to some degree in all malt. Most of it, however, is broken down to DMS during malting and is volatilized during kilning. The darker the kiln, generally the lower the SMM level in the finished malt. Very pale malt such as Pilsner, however, still contains appreciable amounts of SMM, which breaks down into DMS when exposed to the heat of the boil. That makes it tricky to get a DMS-free very light colored wort using 100 percent barley (using adjuncts such as corn and rice can decrease the SMM/DMS load). In this article, I discuss a novel approach that attempts to do just that.
Research suggests that DMS is generated somewhere around 120°F (49°C) or higher but is not volatile until about 165°F (74°C) and above. The general practice to eliminate DMS involves ensuring a long and open boil to allow the DMS to escape over 75–90 minutes and then to chill the wort quickly to below the 100°F (38°C). Generally this will produce DMS-free beer, but we homebrewers with direct-fire kettles will also see at least some darkening of the wort in that long boil. The question arises: can we break down a maximum amount of SMM into DMS before the boil and keep our color low without introducing flaws in the finished beer?
To find out, I first brewed six "DMS train-wreck beers" using different brands of Pilsner malt to find the worst offender. The good people in New Belgium Brewing's lab, Dana and Jeff, were kind enough to humor me, running them all through their gas chromatograph. The attempt, as shown in Table 1 (page 66), was an unqualified success. If we consider that the accepted threshold for tasting DMS is 35 ppb, these are all ridiculously high. It's interesting to note that the worst offender, Weyermann Extra Pale Premium Pilsner, is also the one with the lowest Lovibond rating. At only 1.2–1.4°L, there is simply more unconverted SMM for me to reckon with. It is also mildly interesting that the floor-malted sample is slightly higher than the Rahr, despite being kilned a touch darker. Perhaps it has something to do with the peculiar malting process involved. Or perhaps it was just this sample.
The resulting beers were (understandably, given the short boil time) all impressively light in color, but would they be drinkable? Table 2 shows the results, again run through New Belgium's lab. As you can see, the longer the wort was allowed to stand pre-boil, the greater the reduction of DMS in the finished beer. Although most tasters would detect DMS even in the sample with the lowest DMS level, the variance among them is wonderfully telling.
The final test is, of course, to produce an actual beer using both a conventional lauter and 90-minute boil and using a 100-minute DMS stand and a 20-minute boil time (chilling them much faster!) and compare flavor and color development.
My theory (based on the evidence) is that given a direct-fired boil, letting the hot wort stand beforehand will still allow dramatic DMS production and volatilization with a very minimal boil time and should produce the lightest color possible on a given system. It would be interesting to further investigate the time needed to generate 100 percent of the available SMM-to-DMS and then just how short a boil is necessary to be rid of it. It's feasible that given enough time before and during boil, the problems of a slower chill method could be greatly mitigated. Lucky for us, there is always more research to be done!

can't wait to make the curry...thanks!
Here's the anecdotal recipe for green curry and coconut soup. It's adapted from a recipe in Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid's Hot Sour Salty Sweet, which often seems like more of a travel guide than an every day kind of cook book, although there are some fantastic recipes in it. Green curry paste is usually paired with poultry with lots of basil and lime leaves, but I used snapper because it's what I had. I won't again, as I discovered snapper is on the AVOID list from ocean wise. Maybe line-caught halibut? Or wild salmon?
Place a heavy pot over medium heat, and add a few tablespoons of the thick cream from the top of your can of coconut milk.
Stir as it heats and melts, then cook for about 5 minutes until the oil starts to separate. Add the paste with your fish sauce and stir to blend well. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until very fragrant.
Add the remaining coconut milk and and extra can of water (or stock if you'd like a richer soup). Bring to a simmer, then add your green beans. Let it simmer for a few minutes, then add your asparagus. Once it's gently bubbling again add your fish. You can add lime leaves here too, if you have them.
That's it. You want your veggies crisp, the fish just barely cooked through. Salt to taste and stir in your basil leaves.
Serve with rice, if you'd like.
Toast and grind the coriander and cumin. Grind the peppercorns. Place in a large mortar with the cilantro and a pinch of salt and pound until breaking down. Add the lemon grass and garlic and more salt and continue to pound. Continue with the shallots, then the galangal and lime zest, adding a pinch of salt each time and only continuing on to the next addition once the last is shapeless.
Store in a clean glass jar in the fridge. It should keep for about a month.
NOTE the recipe called for 1/2 a cup of bird chilies, but I don't like a lot of spice, and we were sharing with the two-year old. This made for a VERY mildly spiced soup.
Just posted my new chie mihara sandals over at banquet, and was perusing the lamb's ear website where I saw these lovelies by marcello toshi.

Q: Gettext and user location So I've been able to figure out how to use gettext to translate for a certain language, setting the setlocale, how can I figure out what user probably want for language to be set?

A: In this order:

*

*Ask him (for example as preference setting and/or using a landing page).
Remember the user's choice.

*Parse the HTTP Accept-Language request header ($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']).

*Default to English (or whatever else is appropriate as default for you).

Pick the first option that makes sense for you. Always allow the user to switch to another language easily. Usually through links in the page header or footer.
The URL should contain the language choice. I.e. ultimately the current URL is the deciding factor for the language, the above options just redirect the user to the appropriate URL. You can use domains/subdomains for this (example.com, example.de, example.jp, en.example.com, de.example.com, ja.example.com) or make it part of the path (example.com/en, example.com/de, example.com/ja).
A forth option is to geolocate the user based on his IP, but I would really discourage that, since location doesn't have much to do with language.

Open data published by the Geographic Information System of the Greater Region (GIS-GR)
Based at the Ministry of Energy and Spatial Planning and in close cooperation with the Land Registry and Topography Administration, the Geographic Information System of the Greater Region (GIS-GR) makes an increasing number of its harmonized cross-border geodata available for all kind of…
The newest set of released geodata provides information about cross-border, national and regional cycle paths in the Greater Region.
Why a GIS of the Greater Region?
The creation of the GIS-GR responds to the desire of the political executives of the Greater Region to initiate a common approach to cross-border territorial development and planning. Officially launched in April 2010 as part of an INTERREG IVA Greater Region project, it has been financed exclusively by the partners' own funds since 2013.
As an important working tool of the Greater Region Summit, its role is to produce harmonized cross-border geographical data for the entire Greater Region. It does not replace the national, regional or municipal geographic information systems in place in the different regions, but rather plays a complementary role. By generating a database of comparable and compatible data, it allows a cross-border analysis of the various territorial dynamics in the Greater Region.
What are the objectives of GIS-GR?
The GIS-GR has two distinct objectives:
an analytical objective for territorial planning and data harmonization: the work of the GIS-GR makes it possible to orientate development and spatial planning policies and to guide the actors in their decision-making. The wide range of themes it covers reflects the regional diversity of the Greater Region. It is an important tool for the elaboration of a Territorial Development Plan for the Greater Region (SDT-GR/REK-GR). The GIS-GR also supports the projects and initiatives of the Summit working groups, other cooperation structures and INTERREG projects of the Greater Region. At their request, it designs, in close collaboration with them, static or interactive thematic maps and participates in the cartographic illustration of their work.
an informative objective for communication and data sharing through the bilingual and interactive geoportal of the Greater Region: GIS-GR makes a large number of modular thematic maps available to a wide audience of citizens, planners, administrations, political decision-makers and experts.

While most online casinos do have a minimum of $20 to purchase casino credits there is a couple that you can deposit as low as $10. We suggest you try out Palace of Chance for one of the lower minimum purchase online casinos. The reason the casinos do have a minimum purchase is due to the processing fee's the casinos are charged by the credit card or webwallet's which they use to fund casinos. You can elect to play the online casinos which are giving away free play credits, and if you win you will be asked to make a purchase just to verify for security reasons.

Frank « The Irishman » Sheeran, né le  à Darby, en Pennsylvanie, et mort le  près de Philadelphie, est un syndicaliste américain d'origine irlandaise qui a été accusé d'avoir des liens avec la mafia italo-américaine.

Biographie
Fils d'immigrés irlandais, Frank Sheeran occupe une haute fonction au sein du syndicat professionnel des chauffeurs routiers, l'International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Il est accusé d'avoir des liens avec la famille Bufalino et d'avoir été une figure de premier plan dans la corruption des syndicats par le crime organisé. Le , Sheeran a été reconnu coupable de onze chefs d'accusation pour racket. Il écopera d'une peine de trente-deux ans de prison, dont il ne purgera que treize années.

Sheeran est mort d'un cancer le , à l'âge de 83 ans, dans une maison de soins infirmiers à West Chester, en Pennsylvanie. Il est enterré au cimetière Holy Cross de Yeadon, en Pennsylvanie.

Peu de temps avant sa mort, Sheeran a avoué avoir tué Jimmy Hoffa, le dirigeant du syndicat professionnel des Teamsters. L'auteur  détailla les confessions de Sheeran dans son livre I Heard You Paint Houses, dont la publication en 2004 fut suivie de nombreuses corroborations des faits relatés. Le docteur Michael Baden, ancien médecin examinateur en chef de New York, écrivit que . Cependant la véracité du livre et des confessions qui s'y trouvent a également été débattue, notamment sur le fait que Sheeran ait tué Hoffa et Joe Gallo.

Dans la fiction
 The Irishman, film de Martin Scorsese inspiré de la biographie écrite par Charles Brandt, est sorti en 2019 sur Netflix. Le personnage de Sheeran est incarné par Robert De Niro et Al Pacino interprète celui de Jimmy Hoffa.

I am 59. The last 5 years before retiring were horrible.
Between losing 2 houses (CA and Dallas) and bankruptcy, heart attack, 2 back surgeries and a hip replacement, along with being in federal jobs that were not the right fit as I was told I was too nice to my team and being torn down confidence wise, I gave up and asked for disability retirement. Wrong move.
I now live in Central Texas with my son and his family. I like dogs, gardening and reading. His wife is allergic to dogs and dust (so no books) and hates gardening.
They get upset if I sleep too much and forget I am in pain from arthritis everywhere and spinal stenosis. I am just so depressed and feel trapped and worthless.
I used to make $120k and now... this year I will take home $48k and next year it will be less. Sometimes I just feel like saying ...it.
I have been in forced-retired since 2010...I had a stroke at high altitude in the Himalayas while on a great adventure...my third stroke since I was 38.
I have owned an ocean-front home, and a farm with horses, among other properties. I have traveled the world in style.
I can no longer travel...I now live in a basement suite (at ocean-side), with my Coonhound. I live on just under $10,000 Can. a year...and Yes!, I was depressed for the first few years....having so very little money, after having been a free-spender all my life was damn depressing!
I finally came to realise just how very Grateful I am for all I've had, all I've had the opportunity to do, and even for a family that no longer speaks to me. I have made it to 60 this year, and many never get that opportunity.
As I read your story I definately feel your pain. It is always hard to loose things in this life you love and value.
Please don't use this as a reason to stop your life where it is and not continue to move forward and try to salvage other areas of your life you can make better.
Try to repair your body as best as you can. Once you can think clearer look for alternatives to your present state of living arrangements. There are so many places where the weather is kinder for your arthritis (Arizona, California, Las Vegas, etc).
With the income you have, you certainly can live in a retirement community that has activities for seniors. It would be less depressing, less lonely.
You could have your pets, your life. Many of these communities have assistance with health care too.
Your life can be better, just please think about this.
It's not clear from your post if you are presently receiving disability income AND employment income?
Complaining about 48K? Sorry for your afflictions, but $48K is nothing to complain about, that is more than plenty.
Heck, with an income like that every year there are places like North Dakota that you would be doing just great. I am not retired yet but I sure plan on keeping busy when time comes soon. I agree with Wendy, Enjoy your life, your still young and can have a long Positive life ahead of you.
When I graduated from college, I didn't know what I wanted to do, so I went home to my parents' house. Nightmare. I went back 2 more times for 3 to 6 months after that over the years due to losing a job. I couldn't do anything without my parents' monitoring. I still have nightmares.
The reason I bring this up, is I have to have my own place, so no one can tell me how long I can sleep for example. Even if your income is less next year, living in an apartment could definitely be doable and preferable to living with someone else. I'm just speaking from my own experience.
I also started a new job when I was 58, so you could do that also. I have osteoarthritis, too; however, it has only gotten bad the last couple of years. I'm 65 now.
If you don't want another job or don't feel like it, don't let anyone tell you that's what you need. Everybody told me that. What I wanted was my old job back, and that wasn't going to happen.
You are in the right place with Wendy and the rest of us. Keep coming back.
Hi there...feeling sad for you after reading your post...Seems to me...and I know..it's always easier looking from the outside in..that there are some really simple baby steps you could try..
Most important..see your Dr. about your depression...there is so much that can be done when the right medication, or combination of medications works to relieve depression.
You've had a lot go on medically, and you don't say whether or not you're able to live on your own. If you are able...then DO IT.
It appears you have some restrictions living where you are, and those restrictions are getting you down.
Your income, although reduced, seems enough to afford you a place of your own, and your own freedom. You have not come this far for ANYONE to tell you that you sleep too much..or that your enjoyable activities are not acceptable because of "dust"????
Maybe join a book club...make your own little garden etc. I agree that parents and their children, in most cases should not live together.
Please get out there and take a few steps to improve your situation...Too much life left to be feeling as you are..
I too lost house, Divorce and such. Lived with my daughters. They also had issues with my sleeping.
Finally found a job at less than what I was making. The hard part with the Job was not being required to think. In fact it was discouraged. You get the idea.
Today I live on about half of what you indicated you were getting. The funny thing is that money isn't an issue. My medical is handled.
In short I guest I have become comfortable with what I have. My main problem is I isolate. Trying to resolve it.
So - take notice of where you are in your life. This is the starting of a new life what do you want.
I think its rare where kids can return to the parents home - or vice versa. No matter how good you got along before, living together is a whole different matter.
Move out. You've got a great income, even if less than you earned full-time. You can easily afford your own place -- owned or rented. Find someone to share the housing if you don't want to be totally alone -- but I would bet you'd be far happier.
Your confidence will return if you can live and make decisions for yourself again. You might be hurting but you've still got a brain to use, and you can't just sleep it all away. Heck -- you worked all these years to retire -- to allow yourself the time to LIVE (whatever that means to you).
Pick yourself up, Dust yourself off, and start hunting for a new home.
Explain it nicely to your son... "Just something I Need to do to live my life now. I need to be independant again, like I always was... you guys will be happier, and so will I"


Neither the EU nor immigrants are forcing poor British families into ever-deeper poverty. Our Tory government is doing that.
Neither the EU nor immigrants are bleeding the NHS dry, closing libraries, trying to sell our school system to the highest bidder, and generally stomping on the faces of anyone too poor and powerless to kick up an embarrassing fuss. Our Tory government is.
And you, you stupid fuckers, regardless of any other outcomes of what has to be the dumbest decision I've had the doubtful privilege of witnessing—and there will be many outcomes, and they will be dire—have just handed our government to the most reactionary, right-wing section of the Tory party, who care even less for people less fortunate than themselves than do the smug, rich, self-serving bastards who currently hold the reins.


A commission to design and produce a Victorian street lantern & standard to allow pallet transport from a manufacturer in Abu Dhabi. Original standards are often in cast iron, and in full height, therefore heavy and awkward to transport. They can rarely be found in matching sets and have no safety certification. The cast alloy reproduction lamp pictured here solved all these problems and incorporated an efficient modern SON type lamp and necessary control equipment fitted into an access panel in the base casting.
Once it received design approval, I hand crafted all the casting patterns from obechi hardwood, and dispatched them to the manufacturer abroad. Upon the delivery of the prototype product the lamp was exhibited at the NEC lightshow, and subsequently examined by an accredited safety test establishment to attain its European safety certificate (which I still proudly keep a copy of !). The product was then numbered, catalogued and photographed for marketing & publicity at the lovely Fennes hotel near Braintree, Essex.
Evening at the Fennes Hotel, the lamp bathes the forecourt in light.
Detail views of lantern head with canopy, and standard base casting.
This brief outlined a design requirement for the casings for a cellphone compatible camera. The PCB layout had already progressed to a near final stage, and this dictated the basic configuration of the product. With tight deadlines within the development schedule, my responsibility was to evolve a design, and produce a mock-up product for photography and presentation purposes. I then provided a set of engineering elevation drawings of each casing component for scanning into a CAD program. All the photos are of the supplied mock-up product, including the press release article picture!

Urgent call to action on the future of seal diving and snorkeling in South Africa
Seal at the slipway
Proposed changes to the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act (no. 10 of 2004) will limit scuba divers' and snorkelers access to Cape fur seal colonies. The proposal was brought to our attention by Georgina Jones (for which we thank her!). Unfortunately the timeline for comments is extremely limited: we must submit written responses to the proposal by 30 April, which is this coming Thursday.
Proposed legislative changes with respect to Cape fur seals
The primary change that will affect us as scuba divers and snorkelers is that we will no longer be allowed within 30 metres of a Cape fur seal colony. This will mean that we cannot approach the colonies at Duiker Island in Hout Bay and at Partridge Point in False Bay. Furthermore, it may mean that we cannot even drive the boat through the gap between Duiker Island and the mainland. Boat routing around the Partridge Point colony will also be affected. Fortunately we don't do any recreational diving around Seal Island in False Bay, so we don't need to worry about that!
The Government Gazette outlining the changes is long (288 pages) and you can download it in its entirety here, but I have snipped out the relevant sections. The first is the definition of "harrassment" from page 88, which in point (f) relates to all seal species and states that one may not "approach a colony closer than 30 metres".
Definition of harrassment (click to enlarge)
The second relevant section is on pages 260-261 as they specifically apply to Cape fur seals. Note that the second last bullet point (on the second page, page 261) prohibits "harassment" of seals, which is defined above.
Cape fur seals regulations (click to enlarge)
Cape fur seals regulations continued (click to enlarge)
Why we object to the proposed legislation
Cape fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus) are not endangered. In Namibia they are hunted, but in South Africa hunting of seals was stopped years ago. They are classified as "Least Concern" on the IUCN Redlist, which states that
Due to their large population sizes, the global Cape Fur Seal (Afro-Australian Fur Seal) population appears to be healthy, and the subspecies should both therefore be classified as Least Concern (LC).
The best place to encounter Cape fur seals is in proximity to a breeding colony (such as Duiker Island in Hout Bay) or haul out spot (such as Partridge Point in False Bay). The largest breeding colony is Seal Island in False Bay, and recreational diving and snorkeling is off limits there owing to the white shark population that feeds there, primarily in winter. Restricting access to 30 metre wide areas around these colonies will not improve the lot of the seal populations in any way.
Fishermen frequently have an adversarial relationship with seals (Shaughnessy & Kirkwood). Allowing scuba divers and snorkelers to approach seal colonies in the water enables them to observe any abuses that may be perpetrated on the seals by water users who do not appreciate the seals' presence. It also provides a means for monitoring and reporting the impact of plastic pollution on the animals, which may be significant. Loops of plastic from bait boxes, shopping bags and from six packs of canned drinks pose a risk to these curious mammals, who get their heads or flippers stuck inside the plastic loops. This causes slow and painful damage to the animals as they grow.
There is no indication that activity by snorkelers and scuba divers causes the seals any distress or leads to harmful behaviour modification that could impact individual seals' chances of survival (Kirkwood et al 2003). Seals are curious and friendly, and frequently and willingly approach people in the water in order to interact.
If conducted sensitively, trips allowing visitors to experience Cape fur seals have great conservation value, not only encouraging awareness of seal conservation issues, but also of species that prey on and are preyed upon by seals, and of issues of plastic pollution in the marine environment.
The monetary value of Cape fur seals as a tourism resource is also significant and contributes to South Africa's tourism sector. In addition to snorkeling and scuba diving trips, run by a number of operators, there are seal viewing boats (which sometimes pose a significant danger to snorkelers and divers in the water, but that's another story…) operating out of Hout Bay, which bring thousands of visitors, mostly tourists, to see the colonies each year.
As both Duiker Island and Partridge Point are located close to shore, restricting boat movements around them may force watermen to use less safe routes up and down the coastline, and force them further out to sea than they would otherwise choose to venture in order to avoid the seals.
(It is in fact not clear to me whether Partridge Point, which is a resting or haul out spot rather than a breeding colony, will fall under the proposed legislation, but Duiker Island in Hout Bay certainly will, as will Seal Island in False Bay.)
How we think seals need to be protected
A more impactful (sorry, hate that word) way to protect seals from perceived harrassment would be to enforce a Code of Conduct for seal tourism operators. This would prohibit landing of people on a seal colony by tourist operators. The use of toys such as bits of rope to attract seals in the water should also be prohibited. Teaching seals to identify human manufactured materials as playthings will only lead to more entanglement of young animals in plastic waste. Strict boat speed limits should be enforced around seal colonies and haul out spots. Finally, no bait or chum should be permitted to be used by operators, even if it is kept on the boat and trickled over the side or held inside a glove and not given to the seals.
How to submit comments
If you enjoy snorkeling and diving with seals and want to be able to share that with friends and family in the future, or have a business that profits from seal trips, or if you like to win photography competitions with pictures of seals chomping at your dome port, this means you have a vested interest in the legislation that has been proposed.
The quickest way to comment is to send an email to nmbedzi@environment.gov.za with your comments or objections. Feel free to use any or all of the ones we have listed above. Please do this now!
