pyTile - 0.1.2
Timothy Baldock (entropy)
Isometric engine for a future transport sim game (think Simutrans, or Transport Tycoon)
Right-click and drag to move the screen
"h" - selects terrain modification mode
Left click and drag to raise/lower a tile.
"s" - toggles smooth terrain modification
"i","o","k","l" - change size of modifier tool
"t" - toggles track-drawing mode
Left click to place track start point, click again to place track end point
That's all it does so far.
--This is an intermediate release, will probably crash a fair bit!--
This release is actually quite a long way from the last one, additions include:
- Smooth terrain modification (toggle with "s" key)
- Terrain size change ("k" and "l" to enlarge selection, "o" and "p" to reduce)
- Multiple tool modes (only 2 tools so far, "h" to modify terrain height, "t" to draw tracks)
- Track drawing using the bezier drawing engine (still experimental, click to start drawing, click again to end drawing, only works within one tile for now)
- Text sprite drawing class (experimental, doesn't do much for now)
- New licence, pyTile is now released under the BSD license
Known issues:
- Crashes sometimes
- Drawing order of tracks isn't correct
- Drawing artifacts with some track combinations
Behind the scenes there are many speed and stability improvements.

OXFORD – Oxford High School has eight Student Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) Students and teachers this year – a record for Mississippi schools.
"We don't have records all the way back to the 1960s when the program started, but at least in the last 12 years, no Mississippi high school has had that many STAR students," said Vickie Powell, vice president of foundation programs at the Mississippi Economic Council, which sponsors the STAR Student honor.
"These Star Students should be embraced by the entire community (along with) the parents, the teachers and all those who helped mold and guide their success," said OHS Principal Michael F. Martin. "This state record number of STAR Students is a truly unbelievable achievement."
Any Mississippi high school with at least one senior with a score of 25 or greater on the American College Test and a 93 or higher grade-point average is eligible to name one STAR student, who then shares the honor with one teacher.
Powell said subsequent nominees from the same school must have at least a 35 on the ACT (just shy of a perfect score) and at least a 93 GPA.
"For both the student and the teacher, it's a huge honor because of the student's achievements and because the student chooses the teacher who had the most impact on their educational career," she said.
Oxford High's 2013 STAR Students, their intended majors and colleges, and STAR Teachers and their subject areas are as follow:
• Dora Chen – chemical engineering or Spanish – Princeton University, the University of Virginia, or Harvard University; Joan Westmoreland, English
• Taide Ding – neuroscience – Yale University or Stanford University; Barbara Lowe, debate
• Rosalie Doerksen – biochemistry – the University of Pennsylvania; Mary Stone, pre-AP world history
• Chase Gladden – neuroscience – Bowdoin College; John Davenport, theater
• Sam Mossing – mathematics – the University of Mississippi; Jeffrey Jones, mathematics
• Jimmy Pan – Vanderbilt – engineering, Chris Baughman, mathematics
• David Rozier – Ole Miss – chemical engineering; Jim Reidy, science
• Yujing Zhang – Vanderbilt or Ole Miss – biology; Marni Herrington, science
Martin said of the STAR students, "These are the folks who'll be doing our surgery one day, building our skyscrapers and solving world problems."

The Acura SLX is built on a separate box-section steel ladder-type frame, with seven cross members for optimum rigidity and durability. All exterior body panels are stamped from 100% double-coated galvanized steel, for excellent long-term corrosion resistance. Exterior panels are coated with a nine-step paint and coating process, which includes a zinc-phosphate coating on both the inner and outer surface of each panel.
Box-Section Steel Frame
Unlike many other SUVs which use open, "U" channel frame members, the SLX frame rails are completely enclosed. This makes the frame stronger and much more rigid, in both bending and torsion, and also aids in corrosion resistance. Designed-in "crumple zones" are configured to help absorb energy in severe front and rear impacts, helping to protect the rigid passenger cabin from distortion. In all, the structure of the SLX is designed to be the basis of a rugged, durable and highly secure on- and off-highway vehicle.
Chassis-Body Isolation
To isolate the body and interior from road noise, vibration and harshness, specially tuned isolation bushings are used between the frame and the stamped-steel body structure. These bushings, used in 14 different locations, are designed to react in both tension and compression, helping to damp out unwanted noise and vibration.

GDB8: Roli to take on the Bruins
Jason Gregor
October 27 2008 01:33PM
Dwayne Roloson will get his second start of the season tonight. What does this mean?
This is more about Coach MacTavish being frustrated with Mathieu Garon, than it is the Oilers showcasing Roloson. Garon didn't look good in Vancouver, and he let in a soft third goal in Colorado. The Oilers need him to be better if he's to be their everyday #1 goalie.
Starting Roloson also is a sign that the coach doesn't have confidence in young Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers just yet. If he did, tonight would be an ideal time to start the 24-year-old.
This is a huge game for the Oilers. A win puts them two games over .500 before their longest road trip of the season. Then all they would have to do is go 2-4-1 on the road trip and return home .500 after 15 games. If the Oilers are .500 or better after 15 games, with 12 of them on the road they will be ecstatic.
If Roloson plays well, this will muddy the goaltending picture even more, and it will also push Garon to be better. When asked what has been the difference in the last three losses compared to the first four games MacTavish was quick with a response, "Goaltending and special teams, plain and simple."
That sounds like a coach who is expecting more out of his goalies, and his decision to start Roloson proves that.
Pisani back in
After missing two games with a sore back, Fernando Pisani draws back in centering Ethan Moreau and Eric Cole. Pisani tweaked his back on a snapshot in the morning skate in Chicago, and has been getting treatment for the past four days. He says he feels fine and it shouldn't be a reoccurring problem.
It looks like Zack Stortini will sit out tonight, as he was the last player on the ice at practice this morning. And Jason Strudwick won't play due to a sore shoulder.
October and November games matter
After 20 games last season, only one western team that wasn't in the playoffs at that time (Anaheim) was able to make it in. The Oilers need to be in the playoff race come the first 20 games, or it will be much harder to make up ground. The Oilers schedule could make it easier to make up ground, but they have to be close after 20 games.

In case anyone cares, the world series is in jeopardy of being called in the 6th inning, and Philly would win the game by default because they are up a run.

October 27 2008, 08:31PM
Yeah no doubt. They are trying to keep pushing this game as long as the field and the Cubans will hold up.
October 27 2008, 08:32PM
Yeah we've got an eye on the baseball game and another on the Oilers game. It's pouring rain, but if we stay split focused like this long enough we're going to look like Horcoff.

National Theatre Live: Nation
The action takes place in a parallel world, 1860. Two teenagers thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau's village and left Daphne shipwrecked on his South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home. One wears next to nothing, the other a long white dress; neither speaks the other's language; somehow they must learn to survive. With great flair and lots of action they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, and discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation. "Nation" is suitable for children 10 and over.

Taking advantage of some wonderful Fall sunshine I headed out to find a few Geocaches. Just like with any adventure I wanted to make sure my scooter was up for the task. I stopped at this local garage to check things out. Once the oil level and tire pressure checked out OK it was time to mount up and roll.
It isn't difficult to find a scenic back road here in Tennessee to soak in some sunshine. I've pasted this old barn for most of my life. I can't count the times that I've said to myself that I need to stop and take a photograph. Today was the day. There's just something about old barns that appeal to me. They all seem to have a story to tell. The weathered boards. Their shape. The purpose they have of providing shelter for both machine and beast. A place to store sustenance for hard times. I hope I never loose my attraction to barns.
These lovely ladies seemed interested in what I was up to. I suppose they couldn't help but be curious. You've all see the Little Woman. She is quite the head turner. Wouldn't you really like to know what they were thinking?
Today I had many things on my mind and troubling my heart. Like many of us do I turned to music to help. In the CD player was spinning the tunes of Larry Cordle. The album titled Pud Marcum's Hangin kept me company. Some of these songs hit close to home. One in particular, Angel on His Shoulder seemed fitting. As I wound my way around historic Middle Tennessee I too had an angel on my shoulder and a devil by my side. Just as in the song there is a war raging in my soul.
Stopping long enough in an area known as the Cove, I read the historic marker. It told of families that have lived in the area for decades. It told of happenings that occurred during the War of Northern Aggression. There is so much history right at our fingertips. Most we don't even have to dig for. It's right in front of our eyes. Take time to stop and read historic markers. The things you learn will amaze you.
The mixture of Fall colors and winding roads in the cool sunshine is just what the Ronman needed. Add in to the mix grabbing a few Geocaches along the way and it's a much-needed relaxing day. Not far from Pull Tight Hill ,where these photographs were taken, I stopped for a snack.
Coming to a cross roads I found a small country store. I debated on taking a photograph of this market but decided better of it. I had rather you use the theater of your mind to picture what this market was like. You know the type. There was an old church bench on the front porch. People rode up in pickup trucks, cars and even horse back.
I sat on this bench and enjoyed a wonderful Sundrop and a bologna sandwich. You know one that has a thick piece of bologna with cheese, mustard, miracle whip and a tomato. Just the way God meant for them to be. What a way to spend the day.
I hope you too can get out and enjoy a relaxing ride in the country. Take time to slow down and see the sights around you. Do something new. Check out Geocaching. Learn about history. Travel alone. Travel with others. Just get out and enjoy life.
Ride Safe

Charlie Miller's real desire is to just get a chance. A chance to show the nation what so many in Albuquerque already know; that singing and playing the guitar isn't just his skill, it's a passion.
KOB Eyewitness News 4 first reported on Charlie almost a year ago. He's worked at Lovelace Medical Center for decades, but he makes an even bigger difference when he clocks out and picks up his guitar. Charlie brings a little "Elvis" to the medical center, giving live performances to the patients.
"When you go into a place where people are sick and dying and you can make them smile and laugh that's a great feeling, and this would let people know that and go to a whole different level," Miller said.
That different level could be a national one. Charlie submitted his audition tape to NBC's "America's Got Talent" on Tuesday.
While everyone hopes Charlie gets that chance, he's got his own reason for hoping the show's producers say yes.
"I've always wanted to meet Heidi Klum," Miller said.

Bullets for varmint hunting are either flat-base or boattail and feature a tapered or spire point with the lead core exposed and swaged into a point. The jackets are thin, allowing these bullets to expand rapidly with an explosive force on woodchucks, prairie dogs and similar-sized, thin-skinned animals. This design also keeps these bullets from ricocheting when they strike the ground at velocities near 2000 fps. Because of their frangibility, varmint bullets are not suitable for large game.
Bullets for medium to large game require thicker jackets to keep them together while they penetrate deep into vital areas. They are designed for controlled expansion allowing the bullet to upset or "mushroom" as it goes deeper, making a larger hole which renders it far more lethal than a non-expanding type or a frangible one that breaks into fragments shortly after it strikes a body.
In medical terms, "lethality" is the effect of a particular bullet on a body. According to Dr. Martin Fackler — the leading wound ballistics expert in the country — bullet lethality is an easily understood concept. Lethality is determined by answering two questions: How big is the hole it produces? How deep is this hole? Bigger and deeper holes are more likely to intersect with vital organs, cause greater loss of blood, and result in death.
Game bullets are generally of a pointed-soft-point design — known as spitzer or semi-spitzer. These hold their velocity much better than less aerodynamic designs. Also available are large-hollow-point, flat-nose or round-nose designs with the lead core exposed. Attempts at improving expansion have been tried by varying the thickness of the jacket and by making cuts or skives in the jacket at the bullet nose to enable the jacket to split open and peel back in an even pattern as the core upsets. Other modifications are hollow points filled with hollow copper tubes, metal or nylon plugs which are driven back on impact, expanding the bullet.
Bullets for very large, dangerous game are subject to special requirements, since they often have to penetrate a considerable amount of muscle tissue and often heavy bone to reach a vital spot. Bullets for this type of hunting feature very thick jackets. Some like the old RWS and contemporary Nosler have two cores with a solid web of bronze running through the center of the bullet so that in section it looks like the letter "H".
The top half expands, but only to the center web which insures that the base portion will stay together. Barnes Bullets offers what they call a "monolithic solid" which is simply a solid bronze bullet. Since these are made in large calibers such as 416 they are in effect pre-expanded.

Latest Comments
"This recipe is just perfect as it is. Poaching the boneless chicken breasts in the sauce liquid should result in juicy, tender meat. If you need this meal a little quicker, consider using chicken tenders instead of the whole breast. You would get the same result, but the smaller pieces would cook quicker. When making the sauce, use the water to deglaze the slow cooker so you dont waste any of that tasty goodness."
"This would actually be a great recipe for a rotisserie chicken or using up leftover chicken breasts. Mix everything else as described and add the chunks of chicken. You would need to shorten the cooking time by about half since you dont have to cook the chicken. You could still serve it as once, but I think it would be even better the next day so the spices would have time to blend together."
"Burrito Bowls are one of our go-to lunch favorites. Unlike the blogger, we do have a few Chipotle restaurants in the area, but we usually go to a different chain eatery.The only difference in this recipe and the restaurant version is that everything is lumped in at once. No selecting different components, which could be a problem. I like spicy but my wife doesnt, so Ill substitute sun-dried tomatoes for the Ro-Tel. I can always add sauce later."
"We love recipes that can be frozen for future meals. The only thing I have an issue with is the first direction to divide the ingredients into two portions. I would think that you would mix all the ingredients together before dividing them. Also, the coconut milk is not listed with the recipe ingredients. The included recipe for Ras el Hanout is an extra bonus. Were fortunate enough to have a specialty market that stocks the ready made mixture so we usually have this on hand."
"This recipe seems to be misnamed. It should actually be two separate recipes. The Barbecue Chicken is generic and could be made ahead to use alone or as part of other recipes. The Golden Rice and dipping sauce are the only things even remotely Thai, but theres no lemongrass, nor any coconut milk or cream. I dont think Thai basil really counts."

Movie Summary
The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse)
Description: Back in Germany for the first time since 1933, director Fritz Lang returned to the screen character that brought him enormous success in his pre-Hollywood years. The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse is not so much a sequel as an extension of Lang's early Dr. Mabuse (1922) and Testament of Dr. Mabuse. Set in 1960, the film begins with a series of unsolved murders in a Berlin hotel. The modus operandi of the murderer is the same as that of long-dead megalomaniac Dr. Mabuse. Police detective Gert Frobe and amateur sleuths Peter Van Eyck and Dawn Addams suspect that the killer is a man who believes that he is the reincarnation of Mabuse. Could the culprit be secretive insurance salesman Werner Peters, or blind seer Wolfgang Preiss? The title refers to the hotel's sophisticated TV surveillance system--dozens of roving cameras and TV monitors, inspired (claimed Lang) by a sophisticated bugging method used by the Nazis during World War II. The renewed popularity of the Dr. Mabuse character spawned five movie sequels, none of which were directed by Lang, who had washed his hands of the project.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Russia a hit for SchmittCanadian volleyball star tackles challenges on and off the court
OTTAWA – Canadian volleyball star Gavin Schmitt is capitalizing on a great experience this season with his new professional volleyball team in Russia.
After a couple of seasons in the South Korean pro league, then a busy spring with Team Canada that included the Olympic qualifying tournament and the World League tournament, the Saskatoon native signed to play winter volleyball with Iskra Odintsovo.
The city of Odintsovo is located near Moscow. The Iskra team was founded in 1979 and is a perennial powerhouse in the Russian Superleague. This season the squad is in sixth place with four wins and four losses. The team has also advanced to the quarterfinals in the CEV Cup and is 2-1 in Russia Cup play.
"So far it has been a great experience," said Schmitt, 26. "It's been very challenging for me, which is why I came here. I wanted to be pushed to improve and I am being pushed here. I have a good group of teammates and staff that help me work on my game."
Most of the teams in the Russian Superleague have jumped on the opportunity to allow two foreign players. Along with Schmitt, Odintsovo signed Rafael Redwitz from Brazil.
"The level here is really high," said Schmitt. "The competition from top to bottom is really good, the league is filled with really good players so there are no easy games. On top of that the league brought in a bunch of very good foreigners this year so a lot of people say that the league might be the strongest it's ever been."
The League started in October and runs until May. So far Schmitt has enjoyed life in the world's largest country and certain facets remind him of home.
"I really enjoy it here," he said. "For some reason I feel very comfortable, maybe it's the climate or something but it feels kind of like home. I have a nice place to live, it's very comfortable and I feel really good here, I have been studying the language a bit to try and communicate but that's not so easy."
The 6'10" Schmitt was expecting his team to fare better and is hopeful for a better second half.
"Coming in, our expectations were high, though due to a lot of injuries we have been having a bit of a tough time," he said. "We have a lot of different players than last year and haven't been playing as well as we hoped, that being said we are still in a decent situation and just need to pull it together and get some positive results to hopefully set up a good situation for playoffs."

Comments: Interesting racquet because it is easy on the arm but hard on the stamina. It is ideal for a fit,
experinced player with elbow issues.
From: Johnny, 1/14
Comments: This racquet has laser precision. It's soft on the arm, which is also highly important to me. After trying
various models, this racquet is by far the best of the bunch. I use Gamma Live Wire XP strings at 56 lbs.
From: Rod, 9/13
Comments: Very nice racquet, takes a couple weeks to get used to it, but you will love it the longer you play with it.
I was looking for something with better feel and control, coming from a Babolat Aero Pro Drive and Pure Drive which I felt lacked
in the control/feel department and are very stiff. I tried a few racquets but none have offered so much comfort and precision.
Very good racquet for net play and touch shots. My swing instantly improved as I learned to generate my own power and control
it. I think this is a great racquet for 4.0 players or better looking to improve their game. I think I will stay with this frame for very
long time!
From: Marko, 8/13
Comments: I am a 4.0 player and I played with a demo version of this racquet to compare it with my current
racquet (Wilson BLX Six One 95 16x18) and the Wilson Six One 95 18x20. I found the power to be too low for my game on all
strokes and serves due to soft flex. If I were to switch to an 18x20 pattern I would pick Wilson Six One 18x20 or even Head
Prestige Mid 93.
From: Dushyant, 6/13
Comments: This racquet has a very nice feel to it. Low power combined with a high amount of control allows you
take control of the points. Because of the low power, touch shots are easy to execute, and because of the control, aggressive
shots are easy as well. It has a heavier feel to it, so good preperation helps. Serving is effective due to the ease of placement,
volleys are solid and the racquet is stable against heavy hitting. I'm a 4.5 player and string mine with Luxilon ALU Power at 47 lbs.
From: Scott, 6/13
Comments: After playing with this racquet for 6 months now I have come to enjoy the weight and feel
tremendously. At first, it was slow going getting used to the higher swing weight but my patience paid off. The racquet is low in
power which enables me to hit aggressively without fear of over hitting. And, for the same reasons, touch shots can be executed
reliably. Serves are very consistent. Volley's are stable due to the weight and service returns can either be blocked back or taken
early. I play first strike tennis so the more powerful racquet tends to hinder my play by making me apprehensive when going for it.
I like to string it with gut in the mains at 52 lbs and Kirschbaum pro line x at 50 lbs.
From: Gustave, 6/13
Comments: I've played with this stick for about two months now and love it. I'm a 5.5 league player and this stick is
the best I have ever played with going back through 35 years of tennis for me. It is not for anyone without developed stokes and
solid technique. I did play with the Babolat Pure Storm LTD for the past three years, but switched to this after a few of the Babolats
cracked from a lot of play over those years. I hit with a lot of variety and this stick can do it all, but is probably more suited to
flatter strokes. It is capable of big topspin, but it does not come as easily as with others sticks. What it does have is incredible feel
and control. I am not string sensitive and usually string it with any 17g multi at 57 lbs
From: David, 4/13
Comments: My current racquet is a Prince EXO3 Tour 16x18 which I like very much. I tried the Rebel 95 the other
day and my first impressions, in comparison, are that this racquet offers more control and lower power, with a very solid feel to it.
Blocking back volleys and heavy serves are effective due to the weight. My swing speed was slower and early preparation with a
more relaxed swing was required on my part. I would be a little reticent to play someone who hits very hard without time spent
playing with this racquet first as I feel I will be late with my swing and hitting a tad short. On the other hand, playing against a
pusher was rewarding, as I could stay in a rally longer, and then step in and hit a winner off a short ball without over-hitting it.
The control, plowthrough and feel are my favorite aspects. I am a middle of the road 4.5 player.
From: Fred, 12/12
Comments: Great stick. I'm a tall, thin guy who loves to hit big, and
this racquet has everything I could possibly want. One can get a tremendous amount of spin as well as power if they put in the
necessary effort by using their legs. In regards to the 95 inch head size, I was a little skeptical at first but there were no issues in
switching from a Babolat Pure Drive GT which has an 100 inch head size to the Rebel. The feel is really very good and is very
dampened. It does have that funky Prince feel, but after a few hours on the court with the demo, I got used to it and actually have
grown to like it. Some people have brought up the fact that they lose some power on ground strokes and serves due to the low
flex or whatever, but I do not believe that this is the case. I retained the same amount of power as the Pure Drive and I actually got
more spin as an added bonus when switching to the Rebel. I really did not have an intention of the switching from the Pure Drive
to the Rebel, but my Pure Drives were stolen and the Rebels make a more than adequate replacement. Lastly, I used to have tennis
elbow issues and shoulder problems. In fact, I tore some muscles in my rotator cuff when playing tennis, and I have experienced
no pains at all when using the racquet. Anyway, one thing I must say is that I shanked an overhead on the very tip of the racquet
and the frame cracked on the beam due to the vibrations. I have contacted a Prince rep and am waiting for a replacement and I
hope that I do receive one. Otherwise that will be a shame, I will not be happy, and Prince would have lost a customer. But overall,
this racquet is excellent, and I like it many times more than my Pure Drives. I currently own two Rebels and I'm happy with the
investment. (Except for the fact that one broke. But, one should be on the way from Prince, so I am happy).
From: Gibbs, 7/12
String type and tension: Tecnifibre Black Code mains @ 52 lbs / Prince Syn Gut w/ Duraflex crosses @ 55 lbs
Comments: This racket is great! I love the feel and precise feeling I get when hitting ground strokes with this. There
were some issues with stability of volleys but the crisp feeling was great. The best part of the racket however was the serve. The
spin off serves is amazing and the maneuverability contributes to that. Overall this is a great racket.
From: Victor, 5/12
String type and tension: Beast XP 16, 53lbs
NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments: I loved the previous versions of this racket and have now
gotten used to the newer versions, but I miss the heft and overall spec
of the old one.
From: Anon, 3/12
Comments: This frame is solid and made for precision. If you have the right sort of game not based on pure power,
you couldn't ask for a better feeling racquet. Amazingly stable and predictable this Rebel has it all (except perhaps for it's
cosmetics) and is a real improvement over the previous model, which isn't always so. Volleys and half volleys, overheads, serves
and returns (have I missed anything?)...it's all there. The flex is friendly and it's weight is a plus without being too burdensome (if
you want more weight, you can always add, but never subtract). And finally there is the Exo system which allows for greater string
bed response and feel. In short, a real winner from Prince.Well done!
From: Jeff, 3/12
Comments: Interesting frame. Did not feel good at first, at least not like the first Rebel 95. I added a leather grip
and some weight at 3&9 o'clock and things starting clicking. If you're accustomed to the Prince feel (as I am) this frame is the
perfect blend of everything. Swings like a mid (compact) but due to the o-ports, has a much bigger and sweeter sweet spot. After
adding some weight I'm loving everything, serve, groundstrokes, volleys, slices. Good job Prince!
From: Peter, 2/12
Comments: Very surprised with this racket. Had hated how the previous model felt;
seemed dull and unforgiving despite having a higher swing weight and stiffness. This new model being much more flexible I
thought would only be more dead. Gotta say, this version is really making me consider switching. Ground strokes are very solid
and I can really swing out on the ball without at much gear of it landing way long. Serving is a breeze offering power if you Putin
the work but spin serves really stood out to me. Offers plenty of pop on all shots and some wicked slice as long as timed
correctly. Overall this racket has Renewed my faith in prince, Great Job!
From: Luke, 1/12
Comments: The new Rebel has lots of power with pin-pint accuracy and stability all court. It can generate explosive
serves and service returns, but maneuverability is a little bit of a concern at the net though. Overall, the Rebel is best for serious
advanced players with developed strokes who likes swinging hefty rackets.
From: Joseph, 1/12
Comments: I think Prince got it right this time. It has a nice balance and feel to it. When I serve there was a great
pop coming off of the strings plus it had a lot more power then my previous racquet. I think anyone that gets this racquet will be
very satisfied and happy with the results. I have not found a racquet like it yet.
From: Lamont, 1/12
Comments: I just got this racket about a week ago, and I am loving it. I was using the old rebel before. I have been
hitting with it for about 10 hours now. Overall it still feels some what the same as the old rebel 95. It has a nice sweet spot, has
more power and spin than the old rebel. The 7pts headlight spec is helping with the power, spin and the serve as well. The only let
down is the maneuverability of the racket. It is some what less maneuverable than the old rebel 95. I also noticed that my ground
shots are landing deeper but long at times. All I needed to do was tweak my swing a little and a little more footwork was needed
to fix that. At net it still feels about the same as the rebel 95. All in all it is a great racket.
From: William, USA, 1/12
String type and tension: Luxilon Savage Black full bed, 51 lbs.
NTRP Rating: 4.5
Comments: I was very excited about this stick before it came out. I love the Prince Tour 100 racquets for their
power, spin and sweet-spot but I don't like the feel of the racquet without the grommets. That is one of the main reasons that I
don't use the Prince Tour 100 as my primary racquet. I was hoping that the new Rebel 95 would give me more feel while retaining
the power and whippiness of the Prince Tour 100. I have used the new Rebel only for a few weeks but so far it has not lived up to
its expectations. This version is lighter (12 oz./340.19 gm/swing weight 331 gm vs 12.3 oz./349 gm/ swing weight 337 gm
strung) and more flexible than its predecessor (56 vs. 60) and thus is more forgiving. It is also a little more head heavy (7 points
vs 9 points head light) than the previous version. Overall it is more maneuverable and easier to swing and players who liked the
old Rebel 95 but felt it was a little too heavy will most likely be pleased. When hitting sweet spot seems very small especially for
an O3 racquet. My groundstrokes did not really explode off the frame. I had to put a lot of effort to get my usual depth and
topspin. The serve with the Rebel was the same story as the ground strokes. It made me do all the work but I was able to hit all my
spots. I definitely did not add any MPH using this stick but may have lost some. The volleys felt good especially when compared to
the Prince Tour 100. The racquet overall has a better feel than the Tour 100. For me the new Rebel 95 was good in all areas but
excelled in none. It is a little too light to really hit through the ball and while it is more flexible and forgiving than its
predecessor,it does not produce the topspin or power that I associate with the Prince Tour 100 O3 racquets. It is not a very good
looking racquet. Maybe changing the string set up will make the racquet play differently but as far as first impressions go, the new
Rebel was a let down.

Saving Over Oracle with GlassFish ESB -- A real case study
By Herring on Apr 13, 2009
I just spent some time reviewing what Pretium Telecom did with GlassFish ESB and their business results. Pretium Telecom is a large provider of fixed telephony in the Netherlands. The company's 130 employees provide traditional, low-cost services to over 200,000 customers.
So what were their business benefits of using GlassFish over Oracle?
- Accelerated development cycles by 40%–50%
- Cut the total cost of ownership by approximately 50%
- Gained the ability to launch a new VoIP offering three months earlier than projected
Perhaps you are in the same place as Pertium and want to save millions, but are not sure about whether Open Source and GlassFish ESB is ready for prime time. I recommend you download GlassFish ESB and give it a try and hopefully you can be our next success story. I think Ruud de Greef, Chief Information Officer, at Pretium Telecom, says it the best:
" In the past, we were suspicious of open source for business deployments, but there has been a big change in open-source technologies over the last couple of years. Products like GlassFish ESB and GlassFish Enterprise Server deliver a professional and reliable environment to base your business processes on. "

How Can I Avoid Overeating When I'm Hungry?
I don't skip breakfast or snacks and I eat a normal-sized lunch and dinner, but whenever I get home from school or late at night, I'm always starving and tend to overeat. What can I eat or do to feel full and prevent myself from overeating?
- Iyesha
Start by looking at the kind of food you are eating at meals and snacks. Do you eat mostly white bread, sugary cereal, candy, chips, or junk food? They don't offer much staying power. Plus, their lack of fiber makes them less filling than healthier choices. Replace these foods with whole-grain breads or cereal, vegetables, and fruits.
Another trick for feeling satisfied is to include protein in each meal or snack (like low-fat yogurt with berries or celery with a tablespoon of peanut butter). At meals, choose lean meats like chicken or vegetarian protein like tofu. Another good tip for feeling satisfied is to make sure your meals are well balanced — in other words, with a serving of protein, a serving of starch, and two servings of colorful vegetables.
If you'll be waiting a long time between lunch and dinner, add a healthy snack when you get home from school. Limit yourself to a certain amount, like a handful of trail mix. Schedule another light snack later in the evening if you have plans to be up late at night.
Slowing down as you eat is another way to avoid overeating. Really focus on the food in your mouth — its taste, texture, and how much you are enjoying it. Pause between bites. Paying attention to signs that you are satisfied can help you avoid eating too much.
Finally, are you eating for emotional reasons, like boredom or frustration? If so, schedule something distracting to do after school or at night. Exercise, get together with a friend, or head outside instead of watching TV, sitting at the computer, or just hanging around waiting for dinner.

Chapter 7
Laws governing various sacrifices are listed—The children of Israel are forbidden to eat fat or blood—They worship by sacrifice—Through sacrifice they gain forgiveness, make vows, consecrate their property, render thanks, and are reconciled to God.

Welcome to the Code Comments Tutorial for Flippy, an Othello clone. Code Comments is a series of simple games with detailed comments in the source code, so you can see how the game works.
The text in between the triple-double-quotes are comments (technically they are multi-line strings, but Python uses them for multi-line comments). The Python interpreter ignores any text in between them, so we can add any comments about the source code without affecting the program. In general for Code Comments, the comments will describe the lines of code above the comment. It helps to view this file either on the Code Comments site or with a text editor that does "syntax highlighting", so that the comments appear in a separate color and are easier to distinguish from the code.
This Code Comments assumes you know some basic Python programming. If you are a beginner and would like to learn computer programming, there is a free book online called "Invent Your Own Computer Games with Python" at http://inventwithpython.com
The Code Comments programs make references to sections of this book throughout the program. This Code Comments can also teach you how to use the Pygame library to make your own games with graphics, animation, and sound. You can download Pygame from http://pygame.org and view its documentation.
This particular program is a graphical version of reversi.py in the Invent with Python book. The original reversi.py is covered specifically in chapter 15, so it may be helpful to read that chapter while looking at the source code for Flippy.
You can make some easy modifications to the game by changing the all-caps constant variables (such as WINDOWWIDTH, FPS, SPACESIZE, etc.) This code uses global variables instead of object oriented programming in order to make it simple to understand.

Teaching Children to Play With Fire
February 23, 2017,
Recent findings and perspectives on medical research.
Many women with menorrhagia continue to suffer because they are unaware of new treatments.
Irregular menstruation; Heavy, prolonged, or irregular periods; Menorrhagia; Polymenorrhea; Metrorrhagia and other menstrual conditions; Abnormal menstrual periods; Abnormal vaginal bleeding
The menstrual cycle is not the same for every woman. On average, menstrual flow occurs every 28 days (with most women having cycles between 24 and 34 days), and lasts about 4-7 days.
However, there is a wide variation in timing and duration that is still considered normal, especially if your periods began within the last few years.
A small percentage of women have periods more often than every 21 days or less often than every 35 days. These variations may be normal.
Some examples of abnormal bleeding include:
Often, if you are bleeding from the rectum or there is blood in your urine, you may think the blood is coming from the vagina. To know for certain, insert a tampon into the vagina to confirm that it's the source of your bleeding.
A change in hormone levels is a common cause of abnormal menstrual bleeding. This is called dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Other causes of abnormal menstrual bleeding include:
Keep a record of your menstrual cycles and any other bleeding, including:
Tampons should be changed at least twice a day to avoid infection.
Because aspirin may prolong bleeding, it should be avoided. Ibuprofen is usually more effective than aspirin for relieving menstrual cramps. It also may reduce the amount of blood you lose during a period.
If you think you are or could be pregnant, talk to your doctor.
Call your doctor if:
Your doctor will perform a physical examination, including a pelvic exam. Your doctor will ask questions like the following to determine the history of this symptom:
Diagnostic tests that may be performed include:

Life is good. Make that GREAT!
Outside of winning the lottery, which isn't going to happen being as though we don't play the game, how much better can it be than the last week or so . . . and including this weekend.
College basketball at its finest, the NCAA quarterfinals last weekend and semis this weekend.
For us, however, the icing on the cake was a three-hour session with long-time friend and former assistant basketball coach at SIU, Rodney Watson, and this weekend's reunion with even closer — and longer — friend, Lew Hartzog.
We hooked up mid-week in Herrin with Rodney, who has been head coach at the University of Southern Indiana for the past four years, while the Hartzog get-together will be this weekend at SIU where officials will be officially dedicating and naming new track and field facilities in his honor.
Watson and Hartzog are as basically different as night and day. With one exception. They both know how to communicate with and motivate young athletes to be successful.
As one might expect, basketball dominated the conversation with Rodney. Watson has been successful at USI where he has won 96 games in his four years there, while, at the same time offering, "We've got to be better next year after losing in the second-round of this year's tournament.
That is unacceptable at USI."
In his long run at SIU, Watson served as an assistant to Rich Herrin, Bruce Weber, Matt Painter and Chris Lowery. He's the first to tell you how fortunate he was and how he learned from each of the former Saluki leaders in one way or another.
We're not anticipating any of the same humbleness from Hartzog. When he arrived on SIU's campus from Northeast Louisiana in late-summer of 1960, his coaching style and beliefs were already well formed and, as everyone, absolutely everyone who knows Lew well, will tell you, there were few, if any, deviations. We know first-hand as we both began at SIU the same day.
As diplomatic and willing to listen and reason with athletes as Watson is, Hartzog was the epitome of the opposite style. Fortunately Hartzog could always back up his beliefs with proven results. To say that Lew was somewhat demanding is an understatement.
Hartzog wasted little time in establishing his style, his program as SIU.
In 1960, the season before Hartzog arrived, the Salukis competed in six dual meets, all with area schools and finished seventh in the seven-team conference meet while scoring just 13 2/3 points.
The following season, Hartzog's first at SIU, the Salukis competed in just three dual meets, but added the Drake, Kansas and Oklahoma State Relays to their schedule. And, WON the conference meet by 14 points, more than they had scored the previous season. And, too, it's important to note that he did it with basically the same athletes.
Page 2 of 2 - Yes, it'll be a fun weekend as we haven't seen the old-timer since presenting him for induction into the national track coaches hall of fame five years ago. We're betting he hasn't changed a lick.

Kabat and Farmer ready to go head-to-head in mayoral race
LA CROSSE, Wis. - The candidates for mayor of La Crosse are down to the final days of their campaigns.
Doug Farmer and Tim Kabat emerged from a wide-open field of 11 candidates, and on Tuesday voters will choose who should follow exiting Mayor Matt Harter.
As Tim Kabat jogs between houses, knocking on doors and handing out fliers, it might seem like he's got a lot of energy.
But he said he hasn't been getting much sleep.
"No, but that's what coffee is for," Kabat said with a laugh. "I was, you know, just saying that I think the last time I had this little of sleep was when our two children were born."
A few blocks away, Doug Farmer rings a doorbell on his own route.
"Pretty soon, we're going to overtake the mailman," said Farmer.
These residential streets the candidates were roving are a fitting backdrop for this race, where neighborhoods have been a central theme.
"I have been called 'Mr. Neighborhood.' I'm also told that if I was asked what my mother's maiden name was, I would find a way to work neighborhood preservation into the answer. And that's true," said Farmer.
Both candidates said their top priority in office would be neighborhood revitalization, but the ways they plan to approach the issue are what set them apart.
Farmer cites his 10 years on the county board and 26 years on City Council. He was also chair of the city's housing rehab committee for 22 years.
Farmer has a three-pronged approach to neighborhood revitalization: invest money into refurbishing homes, cut down on neighborhood crime and control property taxes through an executive budget created by the mayor.
"In the older sections of the city, we have are many good neighborhoods, but they're at a tipping point. And we've got to make them a priority. Because if you want to lower property taxes, you've got to stabilize the neighborhoods," said Farmer.
"Those are great, but my question would just be, 'Where have they been the last 20 years?' Because our neighborhoods have not -- certain areas have not gotten that way overnight," said Kabat.
Kabat takes a different approach. On top of looking for grants and new sources of funding to upgrade housing, he wants to collaborate with local universities and businesses to invest in new homes.
"They're trying to recruit and bring people to La Crosse. Well, as mayor, I want to see if there are some opportunities to have those new people, when they come here, that they actually live in La Crosse," said Kabat.
It's Kabat's first run for office, but he spent seven years in the city Planning Department.
Now he's the executive Director of Downtown Mainstreet, Inc., a nonprofit that helps bolster the city's business community.
His opponent said it's not the right kind of experience to lead the city.
"Tim Kabat would be a much better candidate and a much better mayor if he had served a term on common council. Because you have to have an idea where all 17 departments fit and you have to have some relationship with the council, 17 council members, before you start. Otherwise you end up starting, regrettably like Mayor Harter, from ground zero," said Farmer.
"If you're expecting different results, then you've got to do something different," said Kabat. "I'm bringing some new perspective and some new energy to city hall."
Kabat said, if he wins, Downtown Mainstreet, Inc. would most likely have an interim director for a brief period while the nonprofit seeks out a new permanent leader.
Farmer said he was already planning to retire from his position as vice president of Park Bank by the end of the year.
To learn more about the candidates, check out clips of their most recent debate here.

Yesterday I got to go see Kimberly Derting for her signing and reading of Desires of the Dead (Book #2 of The Body Finder series). This was my third time seeing her. I saw her her The Body Finder reading and signing and then in January I saw her for The Dark Days tour in Seattle with Cynthia Hand and Ellen Schreiber. I did a video interview with them at that time so if you haven't seen it check it out!
This time the signing was at Powells Cedar Hills Crossing. That's where Powells hold their signings most of the time now. And it's just a smaller version of the amazing Powells in downtown Portland. It still has the amazingly high bookshelves and is stocked with new and used books. Since this is where the signings are then they have signed copies of books from other authors that have been by recently as well.
When I got to the signing I saw Kimberly right away and went over to say hi. Violet from The Eager Readers was there as well and I gave her a big hug. I haven't seen her since the October Sci- Fi Authorfest so it was great to see her. Suzanne Young (A Need So Beautiful, The Naughtly List books) and Inara Scott (Delcroi Academy) were there as well and I had fun chatting with them. Sara from Novel Novice was there and other book lovers I see at most signings and have become familiar faces. My sister in law went with me as well and it was nice to have her with. She had fun talking with everyone too.
This was the first time I've met Inara Scott in person. In case you don't know, she's the author of The Candidates (Delcroix Academy #1), which was her debut last year. She's really really nice. One of those people that's really down to earth and SO easy to talk to!
Anyway, I got some videos of a few of the questions that were asked so I could share them with you guys.
This one the question asked before I had the camera on was if she writes on different books at the same time and how she keeps it straight. (Not a quote). These last two should actually be switched around to be in the correct order, but it doesn't really make any difference.
Afterward we all kind of hung out and talked for a bit and then Inara was carrying around Tiger's Curse (Book 1) by Colleen Houck. There were signed copies since the author had just had a signing recently, and that cover is to DIE for! It's super shimmery and it makes the pages inside look like they have a blue tint. Maybe they do have a blue tint, but I think that it's just the reflection or something. Anyway, I gave in and got myself a copy. I couldn't resist that beauty! Plus it sounds awesome!
Once we said goodbye to everyone my sister in law and Violet and I walked over to the market nearby and got salads and coffee (well, I got coffee) and we went on about how AWESOME it was! It really was a fantastic time.
Next month Cassandra Clare and Holly Black will be in town and I'm looking forward to going to that event!
Some bookish news:
There will soon be a trailer for A Need So Beautiful. Suzanne is currently contemplating which hottie to pick to play the role of Harlin.
The cover of The Candidates (Delcroix Academy, Book 1) is being redone. There will be a new book launch and the new cover will be the match for the future books. The second book has a new name and is no longer The Watchers but I can't for the life of me remember the new name!
The Pledge by Kimberly Derting is a dystopian fantasy and it sounds freaking AMAZING!
