Schnorr randomness
Rodney G. Downey and Evan J. Griffiths
Schnorr randomness is a notion of algorithmic randomness for real numbers closely related to Martin-Löf randomness. After its initial development in the 1970s the notion received considerably less attention than Martin-Löf randomness, but recently interest has increased in a range of randomness concepts. In this article, we explore the properties of Schnorr random reals, and in particular the c.e. Schnorr random reals. We show that there are c.e. reals that are Schnorr random but not Martin-Löf random, and provide a new characterization of Schnorr random real numbers in terms of prefix-free machines. We prove that unlike Martin-Löf random c.e. reals, not all Schnorr random c.e. reals are Turing complete, though all are in high Turing degrees. We use the machine characterization to define a notion of "Schnorr reducibility" which allows us to calibrate the Schnorr complexity of reals. We define the class of "Schnorr trivial" reals, which are ones whose initial segment complexity is identical with the computable reals, and demonstrate that this class has non-computable members.

The largest craton in the world, a significant geographical feature of central and eastern Canada, and the northeastern United States. It forms an immense rocky ring centered around Hudson's Bay. 4.4 million square kilometers in size, it covers almost half of Canada's landmass: most of Quebec, Nunavut, and Ontario, half of Manitoba, parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, and a good part of the Northwest Territories. It is also known as the Precambrian Shield and the Laurentian Shield or Laurentian Plateau.
It is the earth's greatest area of exposed Precambrian rock, representing the first part of the eventual North American continent to rise above sea level. Once mountainous, time and erosion helped to flatten it, a job completed during the Pleistocene Ice age when glaciation planed the region. Hudson's Bay itself is a dimple in the shield formed by the weight of the glaciers, which is slowly rebounding.
Access to the mineral rich shield resulted in numerous mining sites, most famously the Sudbury Ontario nickel mines. The mine in turn provided the ideal site for a neutrino observatory, the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.

The Mackay Cutters RLFC are a semi-professional rugby league football club founded in 2007 based in Mackay, Queensland. They, along with the Northern Pride, will be one of two expansion teams for the 2008 season of the Queensland Cup. Their home ground will be at the Mackay & District Junior Rugby League grounds in Mackay. The Labor government also made a pre-election promise to upgrade the stadium at the JRL grounds to the tune of $8 million.[1] The Cutters act as a feeder club to the North Queensland Cowboys, who play in the National Rugby League.
The new club have no ties to the Mackay Sea Eagles, Mackay's Foley Shield representative side, which competed in the 1996 and 1997 Queensland Cup seasons.
The Cutters made their debut in 2008 and finished in the bottom half of the ladder. In 2009 the Cutters came last on points difference.
- 2008 player of the year: Kerrod Toby
- Players player of the year: Daniel Flynn
- Most improved local player: Dean Tass
- Clubperson of the year: Kay Peel
- 2009 player of the year: Jardine Bobongie
- Sponsors player of the year: Jardine Bobongie
- Rookie of the year: Darren Griffiths
- Clubperson of the year: Tony Gambie
The Cutters missed out on the finals in 2008 and 2009 before Paul Bramley arrived on the scene to get them one game shy of the 2010 grand final. The cutters had been one of the clubs 'flying under the radar' all season. They finished the normal season at sixth place and defeated minor premiers Sunshine Coast in week one of the finals and ended up making it to week 3 of the finals when they were defeated by Norths Devils in the Preliminary final.
- 2010 player of the year: Liam Macdonald
- Sponsors' player of the year: Neil Budworth
- Rookie of the year: Tyson Martin
- Club Person of the year: Carolyn Craig
In 2011 it was announced Paul Bramley was announced from his contract and signed with Burleigh. The cutters signed the best possible replacement, Anthony Seibold a former Brisbane Broncos player, ESL club Crusaders assistant coach, South Wales scorpions coach and Wales assistant test coach. The Cutters finished a disappointing 11th in 2011 after an injury havok season where the squad used 43 players. The Cutters also made a major coup by signing former Warriors and Cowboys half Grant Rovelli who had 95 NRL games to his name. He was a star player for the QLD Residents match played in 2011.
- 2011 player of the year: Lewis Balcomb
- Sponsors player of the year: Jardine Bobongie
- Rookie of the year: Bureta Faraima
- Clubperson of the year: Tony Gambie
Anthony Seibold has already begun work on the 2012 season signing big name players David Milne from the Canberra Raiders, Rohan Ahern from the Brisbane Bronocs, Jason Schrinack from the Wests Tigers, Andrew Gay from the Wales 4 nations squad and Michael Thomas from the Raiders. They also signed former Toyota Cup players Aidan Day from the Northern Pride, Matt Minto from Easts, Dean Webster from North Sydney and Chris Gesch from Central Comets. Dean Tass and Kelvin Nielson are the players they have signed from Mackay teams (Souths and Wests). Anthony Seibold has signed 11 players and only lost 4 for 2012. Seibold wants depth in the squad for 2012. They also signed (in the mid season of 2011) talented youngster Bureta Farama who scored 21 tries in less games for Mackay club Wests after moving up from Brisbane. Farama was named Cutters rookie of the year after scoring more tries than more games played in 2011. In early 2012 foundation and most capped player Chris Giumelli decided to retire from rugby league.
Notable signings 2012: David Milne (Raiders) Rohan Ahern (Broncos) Jason Schirnack (Tigers) Dylan Smith (Cowboys) Michael Thomas (Raiders) Lee Williams (English Super League) Andrew Gay (English Super League) Dean Webster (North Sydney Bears) Aidan Day (Northern Pride) Chris Gesch (Central Comets) Matt Minto (Easts Tigers)
The Cutters again missed the finals and finished 8th in 2012 before Siebold moved on to Coach the Melbourne Storm's NYC team.
- 2012 player of the year: Grant Rovelli
- Sponsors player of the year: Grant Rovelli
- Most consistent performer: Jardine Bobongie
- Rookie of the year: Tyson Andrews
- Clubperson of the year: Kerri Proctor
In 2013 the Cutters hired a new Coach in Kim Williams. Some key signings were announced including Joel Clinton, but the squad remained largely unchanged from the previous season. Despite losing Clinton to injury mid-season and the death of young-gun Alex Elisala the Cutters defied all of the critics. Under Williams' guidance they had an outstanding season, finishing 2nd on the ladder before going on to beat the Easts Tigers in an epic Grand Final 27-20 to hand Mackay their maiden ISC Premiership. Man of the Match was Anthony Mitchell.
Mackay Cutters 27 (Bureta Fairamo 2, Michael Morgan, David Milne, Anthony Mitchell tries. Liam Taylor, Matt Minto, David Milne goals. Matt Minto field goal) def Easts 20.
The squad in the Grand Final was 1. Liam Taylor 2. Bureta Fairamo 3. Michael Morgan 4. Kalifa Faifai Loa 5. David Milne 6. Dan Murphy 7. Matt Minto 8. Tyson Andrews 9. Anthony Mitchell 10. Sam Hoare 11. Dean Webster 12. Chris Gesch 13. Jardine Bobongie (c) 14. (Retired in memory of Alex Elisala) 15. Jason Schirnack 16. Karl Davies 17. Jason Taumalolo 18. Kelvin Nielsen
Staff: Coach - Kim Williams Assistant Coaches: Chad Buckby and Mick Baker Strength & Conditioning: Mitch Cook & Jim Wilson Manager: Tony Gambie 1st Aid: Kerri Proctor Massage Therapist: Danny Stuart
2013 Finish: Premiers (14 wins, 13 losses, 1 draw)
- 2013 player of the year: Tyson Andrews
- Sponsors player of the year: Jardine Bobongie
- Players player of the year: Bureta Faraimo
- Rookie of the year: Karl Davies
- Clubperson of the year: Chris Fraser
THE strong performances of two key players during their premiership winning season means the Mackay Cutters will farewell both Tyson Andrews and Matt Minto next year, with the duo having signed NRL contracts for the 2014 season. Minto joined the Newcastle Knights, while forward Andrews joined with 2013 grand finalists the Manly Sea Eagles. The Cutters also lost skipper Jardine Bobongie who added experience to the local league competition when he plays for Wests Tigers.
The 2013 premiers gained Tyson Martin as a full-time player, with the former NQ Cowboys contracted player choosing to continue his football with the club he has spent a lot of time with thanks to the feeder arrangement.
Other new faces to the squad included Dan Beasely (Norths Devils), Josh Benjamin (CQ Capras) and Rohan Ahern who was recruited to the Cutters in 2012 before his season was cut short during the pre-season after rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
Mackay Cutters: Gains: Ryan Kinleyside (Souths Mackay), Luke Vaccaneo (Souths Mackay), *Tyson Martin (NQ Cowboys), Rohan Ahern (injury), Dan Beasley (Norths Devils) Mitchell Day (Queanbeyan Blues), Hayden Crockett (Canberra Raiders), Josh Benjamin (CQ Capras), Doug Hewitt (Penrith Panthers NYC), Brent Warr (Easts Tigers)
Losses: David Milne (retired), Tyson Andrews (Manly Sea Eagles), Michael Comerford (retired), Matt Minto (Newcastle Knights), Jardine Bobongie (Mackay Wests Tigers), Luke Young (Mackay Wests Tigers)
2014 Finish: 9th (11 wins, 13 losses)
- 2014 player of the year: Zac Santo
- Sponsors player of the year: Daniel Beasley
- Players player of the year: Daniel Beasley
- Rookie of the year: Mitch Day
- Spirit of the Cutters: Chris Gesch
- Clubperson of the year: Ben Miles
IN a major coup for the Mackay Cutters, former North Queensland Cowboys, New Zealand Warriors and Salford Reds' forward Steve Rapira has signed with the club. It will continue a rugby league career which has included 57 games in the NRL and UK Super League.
Samoan Test hooker and 2013 Warriors NYC Player of the Year Michael Sio has also signed up with the club and is looking to make his mark in the Intrust Super Cup competition and boost his chances of securing an NRL contract in the near future.
They will be joined by a number of promising local signings – highlighting the pathway available to players in northern Queensland.
The movement between rugby league's premier second tier competition and the United Kingdom continues, with Karl "the Lumberjack" Davies, Chris Ulugia and Dave Petersen all joining the Bradford Bulls for season 2015.
Mackay Cutters
Gains: Steve Rapira (Salford), Michael Sio (NZ Warriors), Sam Clune (Thirroul Butchers), Cameron Cullen (Redcliffe Dolphins), Brad Lupi (North Sydney), Rex Johnson (Souths Logan), Joss Boyton (Muswellbrook), Jordan Pereira (Willagee Bears), Corey Cox (Dubbo CYMS), Matt Hackett (Sarina), Zack Walker (Moranbah), Buchanan Rawhiti (Moranbah), Brendan Treston (Souths Mackay), Alex Farrell (Souths Mackay), Zac Radel (Wests Mackay)
Losses: Dan Beasley (Townsville Blackhawks), Karl Davies (Bradford), Chris Ulugia (Bradford), Dave Petersen (Bradford), Dean Webster (released), James Uhatafe (released), Zac Dalton (Mackay Wests), Michael Koko (Melbourne), Josh Benjamin (Redcliffe), Dan Murphy (Sunshine Coast), Brentt Warr (Easts Tigers), Doug Hewitt (Tweed Heads Seagulls), Ross Bella (Cowboys NYC), Jason Schirnack (NT)

Aaaahh, I can almost smell them. Thanks for this, Wayne. Here the trees are already bare and the world is turning quite grey. I needs me some colour!
MicheI've never been much of a fan of yellow or orange, but marigolds have always had a very special place in my heart. And not just because they are supposed to keep the grasshoppers at bay. There is something very deeply beautiful about studying the multi-ruffled petals of each and every gorgeous, nearly neon marigold!

CD Projekt Red has released a teaser trailer for the previously announced Witcher Adventure Game, a board game set in Geralt's realm scheduled for release next year. While a lot of the tabletop game's details are under wraps, it is known players will be able to play as the monster slayer Geralt, his magic-wielding love interesting Triss Merigold, his smart-bard sidekick Dandelion and the dwarven warrior Yarpin Zigrin, all of whom have their own special abilities.
Gameplay itself sounds a bit like a D&D setup, where each player's abilities are managed through special development cards, while quests and activities have a strong focus on storytelling, exploration and fantasy-style adventuring, which could involve slaying beasts as easily as it might dealing with politics within The Witcher's world. (There are also apparently mysteries to solve.)
No solid release date yet apart from "coming soon," but check the trailer for more details.

"Insane": Mitt Romney Goes Glenn Beck
Mitt Romney has reworked his stump speech and delivered the new version last night. It's premised on … a total lie:
Just a couple of weeks ago in Kansas, President Obama lectured us about Teddy Roosevelt's philosophy of government. But he failed to mention the important difference between Teddy Roosevelt and Barack Obama. Roosevelt believed that government should level the playing field to create equal opportunities. President Obama believes that government should create equal outcomes. In an entitlement society, everyone receives the same or similar rewards, regardless of education, effort, and willingness to take risk. That which is earned by some is redistributed to the others. And the only people who truly enjoy any real rewards are those who do the redistributing—the government. The truth is that everyone may get the same rewards, but virtually everyone will be worse off.
This isn't just a casual line. In eight sentences, Romney asserts over and over again that Obama wants to create "equal outcomes" and give everybody the "same rewards." This is nuts, Glenn Beck–level insane. Restoring Clinton-era taxes is not a plan to equalize outcomes, or even close. It's not even a plan to stop rising inequality. Obama's America will continue to be the most unequal society in the advanced world — only slightly less so. The alternative proposals accelerate inequality even further.
This is a form of insanity that has become extremely pervasive in the Republican Party since 2009. The response to liberal invocation of rising inequality from the right's intellectual leaders has been to argue against not liberal policies but against socialism. This wild lie has become so widespread that press accounts don't even bother to mention it anymore.

Mitt Romney Reverses Position on Iraq
In an interview with MSNBC's Chuck Todd today, Mitt Romney asserts that "of course" invading Iraq was a bad idea now that we know Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. ("If we knew at the time of our entry into Iraq that there were no weapons of mass destruction, if somehow we had been given that information, obviously we would not have gone in.") Four years ago, Romney said just the opposite. ("It was the right decision to go into Iraq. I supported it at the time; I support it now.")
I can't think of any important substantive facts that have changed between now and then that would lead Romney to alter his opinion. Indeed, Iraq is probably more stable than it was, and it's now easier to justify invading on non-WMD grounds than it was before.
What's changed is that Iraq is no longer so central to the Republican id. Four years ago, a Republican had to defend the Iraq war in order to defend George W. Bush. To conclude that the invasion was a mistake would be to indict Bush of a massive blunder, to subvert the commander of the War on Terror, to give in to the liberals. The importance of the issue has now receded to the point where Romney can casually take the completely opposite position without antagonizing any significant part of his coalition.
The thing I've always found endearing and (to some degree) comforting about Mitt Romney is that his flip-flops betray pure contempt for the Republican base. He treats them like angry children, and their pet issues as emotionally driven symbols of cultural division rather than as serious positions. Four years ago, conservatives were enraged that liberals would question Bush's handling of foreign policy, so Romney was defending the decision to go to war and promising to "double Guantanamo." (It made zero sense as a policy position and could be understood only as an expression of culture-war solidarity.) Likewise, conservatives are now outraged over Obamacare, so Romney promises to repeal Obamacare.
Nothing about Romney's attempts to ingratiate himself with the right hint even slightly of genuine conversion. It is patronizing appeasement. Of course, none of this tells us the really crucial thing, which is what promises Romney would actually keep if elected. But at least it offers the modest comfort that Romney knows better.

Proposed "Anti-piracy" Legislation Dangerous And Unconstitutional
The proposed "anti-piracy" legislation is dangerous and unconstitutional. Congress is contemplating two bills that proponents insist will shut down "rogue foreign websites" bent on wholesale intellectual property infringement. In reality, these bills won't do much to curb online piracy. What they will do is balkanize the Internet, undermine Internet security, and introduce a new, unconstitutional scheme of speech regulation.
Both the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its Senate counterpart, the Protect IP Act (PIPA), would empower the attorney general to create a blacklist of sites to be blocked by Internet service providers, search engines, payment providers, and advertising networks. In other words, U.S. citizens would have access to an Internet that looks distinctly different from the one seen by residents of, say, Japan or Australia.
Leading constitutional scholars have explained why this blunderbuss approach won't pass muster under the First Amendment. Leading Internet engineers oppose the legislation because it will undermine international efforts to shore up online security—efforts the U.S. government has actively supported. A broad coalition of human rights groups has also come out against the legislation, well aware of the contradictory message it sends about online censorship.
We've seen where this can lead: Over the past year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been obtaining court orders authorizing the seizure of domain names. The seizures are supposed to be directed at infringing sites, but perfectly legal sites have been caught in the net. And when those legal sites have tried to get their property back, they've been met with delays and obfuscation. For example, when the founder of a popular music blog tried to follow the government's bewildering procedure for retrieving his domain names, the government abused the process, seeking secret extensions and declining to cooperate with the blogger to get the matter resolved. Finally, the government dropped the case, with no apologies.
But it gets worse: Private actors can also get in on the act. If an intellectual property rightsholder thinks a site is "promoting" infringement, that party can go to court to seek an order forcing payment processors and ad services to choke off financial support to the site.
The payment providers won't be able to fine-tune their response so that only infringing sites are affected, which means an entire business could be under assault. Moreover, there are vigilante provisions that can easily be read to grant immunity for cutting off a site if there is "credible evidence" that the site promotes infringement.
For over a decade, we've had a system in place that gives rightsholders effective tools for fighting online infringement, while creating space for online innovation, economic growth, and creativity. These bills would rewrite the rules and give government and big content providers new powers to regulate the Internet, with little regard for the collateral damage it would cause.
SOPA and PIPA have sparked an explosion of opposition, including Democratic and Republican lawmakers, progressive and conservative public interest groups, technology companies and investors, constitutional scholars, and human rights groups (who know a plan for censorship when they see one). It's been called a "geek lobby," but you don't need to be a geek to see that this legislation is a profoundly bad idea.

After Payroll-Tax Debacle, GOP Goes Into Damage-Control Mode
Atop the House chamber Wednesday morning, the flag fluttered in the breeze. In his office underneath the Capitol dome, House Speaker John Boehner twisted in the wind.
His House Republicans had killed a bipartisan plan to cut taxes for 160 million Americans, earning themselves an avalanche of criticism and condemnation from friend and foe alike. So Boehner assembled nine of his House Republican colleagues in his conference room, invited in the TV cameras, and proclaimed that Republicans really and truly want to enact the payroll-tax break that they just defeated.
"We're here. We're ready to go to work," Boehner announced.
But the only thing he was working on, it turned out, was damage control.
Fox News's Chad Pergram, noting that Boehner's talking points were mostly about legislative process, asked: "Do you think that you've lost the argument?"
"We're here. We're ready to work," the speaker repeated.
Reuters's Tom Ferraro asked what Boehner made of the criticism from Senate Republicans "like Scott Brown, who says you're playing politics."
"We're here, ready to go to work," Boehner answered.
CNN's Deirdre Walsh further annoyed the speaker by mentioning the savage editorial in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal that branded the GOP payroll-tax strategy a "fiasco." Another reporter asked if there might be some way to back down on his refusal to accept the Senate's two-month extension of the payroll-tax cut.
"We're here, ready to work," Boehner said.
The Associated Press's Dave Espo asked "if any of the 10 of you intend to go home for Christmas.
"We're here, ready to do our work," Boehner said.
At exactly the moment House Republicans were executing the failed photo-op, Democrats were on the House floor, trying to disrupt the day's "pro forma" session with a stunt designed to further embarrass the majority.
Although most House members had gone home for the holidays, House leaders arranged the perfunctory sessions so that the chamber wouldn't technically go into recess without passing the payroll-tax cut.
But as the speaker pro tempore, Rep. Mike Fitzpatrick (R-Pa.), sought to bring the pro forma session to a close, "pursuant to Section 3B of House Resolution 493," Steny Hoyer, the Democratic whip, interrupted to request that the chamber bring up the Senate bill. Fitzpatrick walked off the dais.
"Mr. Speaker, you're walking out!" Hoyer called after him. "You're walking away just as so many Republicans have walked away from middle-class taxpayers." A few seconds later, the sound system was cut off and the C-SPAN cameras were disabled.
Hoyer, joined by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), took his case to the microphones outside the House chamber, where a statue of the late humorist Will Rogers, hands in pockets, seemed to gaze at the pair with a look of amusement.
"The speaker of the House and the Republican leadership were AWOL," Van Hollen complained.
That's because the leaders were conferring nearby with their "conferees" – the people Boehner wants to negotiate a new tax deal with Democrats. But there is a problem with this plan: Senate Democrats already negotiated a compromise with Senate Republicans, and the House Republicans rejected it. And, to the Democrats' delight, several of the "conferees" Boehner appointed are on the record opposing the payroll-tax cut.
"I'm not in favor of that. I don't think that's a good idea," said one conferee, Dave Camp (Mich.), according to the Hill newspaper.
"From a policy standpoint, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense," another conferee, Tom Price (Ga.) told National Public Radio.
The conferees did not address this awkwardness at their photo-op (aides, handing out seating charts to the photographers, didn't pretend it was anything more than that), instead turning the discussion to non-sequiturs.
Price gave his perspective "as a physician." Renee Ellmers (N.C.) delivered her remarks "as a nurse" and "as a mom." Rep. Nan Hayworth (N.Y.) added the information that "I'm a doctor and a daughter of elderly parents" and has "also been a small employer." Tom Reed (N.Y.) let everybody know "I have an 11- and 13-year-old at home."
Congratulations, all around. None of these credentials, however, avoided the conclusion that the House Republicans had screwed up badly and now stand to take the blame if payroll taxes rise.
Two minutes after their photo-op, the conferees, abandoning the conceit that they were conferring over anything, left Boehner's conference room.
"Is the conference over?" I asked Price.
He chuckled. "Legislation is not a game of solitaire," he said.
But for House Republicans, it's getting very lonely.

Davidian's Engagement Log: Entry One
I've finally decided when it's going to happen. I've been mulling it around in my head for weeks now. However, the time is nigh upon me, and I can't escape what needs to be done. Not that I want to.
I've been dating my girlfriend ever since May 5, 2001. It was a Saturday night, and I was more interested in the girl I almost hooked up with the night before than her. In fact I barely knew her. I had talked to her sometimes before as she was in the same class as my best friend/roommate's girlfriend. We'd all walk in the same direction together after class got out. I used her to work on my talking to girls, and that's about it. I used the time to practice holding a conversation. Nothing more. I wasn't wowed by her looks, like I am now.
On that Cinco De Maio, some of her friends and her came up to my fraternity's section. My roommate was trying to get her trashed off the fabled Delt Punch, a punch my frat makes annually. He even tried paying her small dollar amounts to flash her breasts at me. Apparently she liked me, even though I didn't know it. My roommate was just trying to get me laid.
We went out to this "Shock Yo Momma" party held by the Omegas, another frat on campus. Within five minutes, my best friend was handcuffed to two girls, who, if they wanted to use their bodies more than their minds, would have made excellent pornstars. But I digress. I was left with three ladies and a keg of cheap beer. We all partied and made merry. Ain't nuthin like dancing with different women, and switching between every song.
I have no idea what time it was when we left. I just know my roommate had managed to free himself from the handcuffs. We went back to our room; me, him, and the ladies. Once back there, we popped open more beers and I had a great idea, "Everyone onto the beds!" I had yelled. Maybe not, it's a while ago and drugs have killed my memory. We had a loft setup going all the way across the room, which had our beds on it, separated, of course. My girl curled into my bed alongside me and I took turns kissing her, and the girl I was interested in the night before. By this time, my focus had shifted from her, to my girlfriend, as she seemed to be more interested in me. At this point in my life, I had not been laid in 2 years, so I was going to take what I could and not complain. Long story short, we went back to her place and made merry.
She later told me I was supposed to be her piece of meat, another one night stand as she tried, and failed, to get over her asshole high school boyfriend. She was a freshman and myself a sophomore. She said she decided to keep me because I cuddled after sex.
Now our relationship has reached a certain point. Never had I felt such feelings for a girl before. Never had she had such feelings for a guy. We talked about it and knew that we were perfect for each other. I think that she is one of only two people I could live with and not end up killing. The other being my roommate that year.
Now to the point of all this rambling. My then roommate, his girlfriend, and my girlfriend are all going on spring break together, at my parent's cape house in Chatham, Massachusetts. I plan on setting up my room real nice, with candles and flower petals, mostly red roses, on the bed. I plan on making sweet love for most of the evening. In the morning I plan on sliding the first universal symbol of our love onto her finger while she sleeps. By the morning of March 15, 2003, I will be engaged to the most wonderful woman on the face of the planet.
For those of you who haven't done this yet, this is by far the most anxious I've ever been in my life. All my friends are surprised and amazed. They tell me I'm too young, they tell me I'm throwing things away. However, they do tell me that they're happy it's to her, and that outweighs anything else they have to say. I'm going to call her father a week from this friday, to ask him if it's ok for me to marry his daughter. This has me more nervous than I have ever been in my life. Even though I know he will not say no.
She's been with me through so much. She's seen my at my most crazed, my most evil, and my most vulnerable. I have shed tears in her arms. She stuck with me while I successfully failed out of college, while I had to move back in with my parents. She keeps me in line. She doesn't dominate, she genuinely cares. She's the only woman I want having my children.
I actually decided that I wanted to "propose" a while ago, about a week. I haven't written about it until now because my parents have finally accepted the fact that this is going to happen soon. When I told my parents they both said "No, you're too young." I'm going to be 24 when we get married. My parents were 23. However, I am glad that they came around. I'm going to go diamond shopping with my father on my birthday. I already have what type of ring it's going to be picked out. Actually, she picked it out, and I'm going to get her what she wants. Anything for my girl.
I don't know what else to say. I know I have no reason to try and convince thousands of people I don't know why this woman is special, or what she means to me. I just wanted to tell thousands of people that she's mine, so keep your grubby hands away from her! :^)
Next Entry
About two weeks ago my mobile phone alerted me to an incoming SMS with its usual triple vibration. I flipped it open, hit Yes, and found a message from a schoolfriend I hadn't seen, spoken to, heard from for almost ten years.
He was wondering if I would be free on March 1 to play the Eton Field Game for his scratch side against the School eleven.
Just then, a stranger approached, and told me he was going to cut off the bottom of one of my trouser legs and put it in the library.
That's a turn up for the books I thought.
I told him (old friend, I mean, not the stranger I invented for the purposes of a lame joke) that of course I'd love to play. And then realised I hadn't played for ten years, that I am hideously unfit, and that it was surely going to be a really, quite strange experience.
Which it sure was.
Turns out the place hasn't changed much, but then when you're 563 years old, what's a decade? Everything was much as I had left it, including my old friends (bit misleading, actually, that, since they were in the same house but three years below me. We didn't hang out much. The relationship was built more around them pissing about, and me setting them suitable punishments), all instantly recognisable as older versions of their schoolboy selves, and all still called Charlie, or variations thereof. Guess I wasn't so different either - I even turned up late in my traditional manner. Gawd bless the trains!
They've changed the old game though. Gone is the gloriously dangerous ram, gone are endless set bullies (read Eton Field Game if you want to know what I'm talking about), and in their place are free-kicks left, right and centre. Apparently the game needed speeding up. As a wheezing smoker in his late twenties trying to keep up with the young whipper-snappers in the school side, I'm inclined to disagree on this point.
Inevitably, we lost, and the school side remained unbeaten - but hey, we were unbeaten when I was in the side, and i like to think there was a touch of class about our play back in the day, too (Without wishing to sound smug or arrogant, my play was described as 'sublime' in the end of season review...). I'm not surprised to have lost, really - playing three times a week, knowing the rules, staying fit; all these add up to more of a plateau than an edge for a school side that for all our age, guile, and aggression we couldn't quite match.
Afterwards we sat in the pub, talked over the game, and caught up as much of ten years as is possible in one afternoon. I'd forgotten what a great bunch of guys they all were, and wished I'd stayed more in touch with this past life.
I'd forgotten about or not thought about a lot of stuff. None of which I can really go into, I'm afraid. It's just too close, some of it, for a threepenny daylog, and the rest, well, bad things have happened to so many good people, and I only wish they hadn't.
But I've made a vow (but only to myself, just in case I don't follow it through...) to contact people I used to know. If you knew theboy once upon a time, watch out - he's coming to an inbox with your name on it...
Right now, though, I'm going to have to focus most of my attention on walking with a thousand aching limbs, and not coping with the emotional aftermath of trying to watch the last ten minutes of the Worthington Cup final and the last few overs of the England v Australia World Cup encouter.
At least one worked out alright in the end.
I'm thinking of quitting my job and trying something entirely different. I saw a friend in town the other day. He was just standing in the high street, and the back of his anorak was leaping up and down. People were throwing him money, which I thought was odd, so I asked him if he earned his living doing this.
Yes, he said, this is my livelihood.
Am I suffering from depression? I seem to be tired again today after a solid 9.5 hours of sleep last night. I wouldn't really consider myself depressed, but just bored. I'm looking for something to entertain me in life, but I guess it's not that active of a search. Maybe I'm too busy waiting for something to happen instead of making something happen. What a big fucking cliche that is.
I guess I'm just another stereotype of 20th century youth without a cause to define myself. Oh woe is me.
Her name is Cassandra. At first I was going to write this cheesy D&D adventure rendition of the whole excursion and re-name her Charisma for the sake of anonymity but *fuck a grape Christ* this is just too ironic. Besides sentiment sucks, and I'm sure the whole fucking world's done the D&D theme before.(cliche: +2d4 when attacking Shane).
She calls me up for the first time in four years. She wanted to go to a "nice dive-bar", and conversationalize. What struck me was the middle of the night, how she told me that her name meant servant to men. But I was lost in that perfect field, with Orange Hostess cupcakes and fried chicken and didn't remember at first how she had said she preferred people to call her Cass, now. It was beautiful. Cue the blood!!!
All went against Murphy's Law, until I dropped her off. I bought her breakfast (dinner? drunkfast? whatever...), we got to her house and then, help me out here... she spaces out and leaves. She says some weird shit about getting drunk and walks away forever.
Don't ever let anyone tell you that sleep doesn't fix everything. It does. I've never, in twenty-one years, lost the rent, got beat up, or had my heart broken while asleep. In slumber, no one can touch you. Except, maybe, Freddy Krueger, but I've never met Mr. Krueger, and he doesn't bother me, so, as it stands, sleep fixes everything.

I had some time built into my work schedule to sit and node a couple of things that have happened and also some things I wanted to write about. However, the reality of work stepped in and squashed my plans.
First one of the servers was using up all its CPU and no matter how many times I tried to limit processes or kill them outright it was still locked in a loop. Time to restart the server. Thus forcing two departments to be without the application they use. So of course the phone starts to ring over and over; even though I sent out an email explaining when the reboot would occur and how long it would be down.
Then there are other issues that have drained the energy to node away, just giving me enough to drop a couple of thoughts down. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.
Playwright in Tech
D -4 Day
The blessed Monday off from tech week.
Yesterday was the second day of cue-to-cue. And frustratingly enough, also the Los Angeles Marathon, which ran right by the corner of San Vincente Boulevard that our tiny theatre happens to live on. Traffic was murder; I've been sick and forcing fluids: obviously a potentially expulsive combination. Even with the street closings, I thought I could get close enough to the theatre to park and walk and use the bathroom, but time crept faster than the traffic, and seeing no other option, I pulled over in a residential neighborhood and used my 1.5 liter empty water bottle as a makeshift latrine. I was surprisingly more adept at the operation than I expected. I filled the thing nearly 2/3's full, meaning I was shipping an extra liter of fluid. (It's the unexpected factoids in life that are always the most intriguing.)
I finally made it to the theatre four hours later than everyone else-- stretching my playwright's prerogative a bit. I was glad to hear though that they'd finished up the cue-to-cue and after a break would start a run-through. I'd finally be able see what the actors were doing with the script.
It was a rough go, but no rougher than a normal first fully teched stumble-through. The cast is small, two men, two women. The guy playing the central character, an ex-school teacher who moves to New York to temp and drink himself into oblivion, has a pretty good take on things, though he's got to shake his film-acting habit of mumbling. The other male lead, who plays an uptight accountant from New Jersey, is playing it all a bit to broad and arrogant right now. The character, who's of Italian descent, is coming off like a Soprano right now, instead of an image-conscious corporate drone. Now I don't want to entirely lose the ethnic feel, but I want the actor to play with burying it a bit, for a much more layered approach.
One of the two actresses is nearly perfect except for the normal small adjustments, the other seems less sure as an actor, and seems to lack the natural stage ability to make herself seen and heard. She's constantly upstaging herself (i.e. facing away so that the audience loses her face and often her lines), and she seems uncomfortable in her skin. I'm hoping it's mostly just nerves that'll iron out in the end.
At intermission and again at the end of the run, I gave my director a ream of notes, though no more than usual for this point in the process. He seemed a bit discouraged, wondering aloud how he was going to approach the cast with some of the bigger adjustments I'd like to see happen. He's afraid that trying to implement such changes at this late point might throw the cast, but I know from experience that this is horseshit. Good actors, by and large, love to dig in and make changes up to and beyond the last minute. It keeps it fresh and real and dangerous for them, which is a good place to be just as you open. I reminded him that I used to ask the same thing of him when he was acting in earlier plays of mine. I think he's having trouble finding his voice of authority as a director. But find it he must, and quickly; or somehow I'm going to have to find it for him.
At this point, the show still has the potential to blow people away, but it could also lay there like a dead confusing fish. We don't have much time to make it right. But we have to.
On Saturday I went to Planned Parenthood in order to obtain oral contraceptive refills. I have no health insurance, and I was on my last pack of pills that had been prescribed by my college's health center before I graduated last June.
I had heard about Planned Parenthood on the radio and I figured I'd give them a call. They were great on the phone and were able to make an appointment for me the very next day! This is totally unheard of in my dealings with the medical profession; when I had an HMO, I generally had to make appointments months in advance, and I didn't have much of a choice as to what time of day the appointment was.
My boyfriend's mom gave me a ride; I had originally intended to ride my bike (I have no car), but Matt's mom wouldn't hear of that, seeing as the ride was long and the streets were busy. She is truly an awesome lady. So we left at 10:30 for my 11 AM appointment.
We found the place easily, thanks to the directions I got from the internet. As we drew closer to the building, I noticed that there seemed to be quite a bit of activity on the sidewalk. Oh, no, I thought to myself. Apparently a bunch of militant pro-lifers had chosen that Saturday to protest in front of the clinic, and verbally harass everyone who entered the building. They had those giant posters featuring full-color shots of aborted babies. We parked the car, and I apprehensively got out.
A group of protestors looked straight at Matt's mom and I, and began yelling. "NO, PLEASE, DON'T KILL YOUR BABY!" and, "MOTHER, PLEASE DON'T TAKE YOUR DAUGHTER IN THERE!"
I couldn't help it. I was so enraged that I yelled back at them.
And even if I was, it was none of anyone's business but mine. I should have just ignored them, in the spirit of do not feed the troll, but I was so taken aback and upset that something just popped out.
Planned Parenthood always has some of their employees in the parking lot, to escort people from their cars to the clinic doors. This made me feel a bit better. But I was still upset, so much so that when the doctor took my blood pressure it was so elevated that he would only give me one additional pack \ of contraceptives. (using hormones is not advised when one has high blood pressure) So now I have to go back in later this week at at time when I'm more relaxed, and get another blood pressure check. Then they can write me a refill prescription.
I was quite surprised (and pleased) to find out that Planned Parenthood offers services besides those pertaining to women's health. They offer primary care appointments for everything from injury to psychiatry, as well as immunizations for children. They are really offering a great service to the community, especially for those unable to obtain health insurance.
Matt's mom's comment about the protestors was, "I wonder how many children they've adopted so far?" I am extremely glad she was there with me, and that she had such a wonderful attitude about the whole thing. I felt a little weird at first talking to her; after all, what does a mother think of a girl that is almost certainly sleeping with her son? This particular mother had a very healthy and realistic perspective, and made me feel very comfortable and comforted. Totally cool.
I am still miffed at those protestors. Nobody wants to see the graphic results of a medical procedure while driving down the street. Abortion is gross, but so is kidney surgery. Autopsies aren't too pleasant to look at, either. It is just poor taste to display such things, and to make people's already difficult lives more difficult. And free speech is one thing, but harassment is quite another. I want to be able to walk out of the car and into my doctor's office without being yelled at, especially when the stuff people are yelling doesn't even apply to me.
Note: This incident occurred in San Jose, California. I am not sure what the laws are regulating protests, but I would be interested to find out. If anyone has information about such laws, feel free to /msg me; I'd be interested to know how different states deal with this sort of situation. Thanks to enth for suggesting I indicate where this occurred.
Malvo Pretrial Motions Begin A hearing is set for today to address thirteen motions filed by the lawyers of Lee Boyd Malvo, the suspected sniper from the recent Washington DC-area shootings. The motions include a proposed ban on crime scene photos, an appeal for the county to hand over any potentially damaging evidence, and a request for five additional investigators to find more evidence in the case. Prosecutors were dismissive of the claims, stating that most were stalling tactics or diatribes against the Supreme Court of Virginia.
98th Victim In Rhode Island Fire A second hospitalized victim from the nightclub fire in West Warwick, Rhode Island died yesterday, bringing the death toll to 98. Today, the city of West Warwick will begin releasing documents such as building and fire inspections on the nightclub, which the city had previously refused to release. The city had invoked a statute which allowed them to only release records within ten days of a written request, the window of opportunity for which closes today.
Documents Released in New Hampshire Church Abuse Scandal Catholic bishop John McCormack apologized this morning to victims of sex abuse by Roman Catholic priests. At the same time, though, the church said it did not "necessarily agree" with everything in a state report detailing how the Manchester Diocese mishandled abuse cases. The report, released by the state of New Hampshire, severely criticized the church's mechanisms for handling situations of pastoral abuse.
November 17 Terror Trial Opens in Greece The trial of 19 people suspected of belonging to the November 17 terror group began Monday with arguments over the bulletproof security glass that protected the defendants. Defense lawyers claimed that the glass was humiliating and argued to have it removed. The trial covers several assassinations by the group in recent years, including British, Turkish, and American diplomats and senior Greek judges.
Turkish Stock Market Crashes The Turkish stock market plunged by more than 10% in early trading this morning after the nation's parliament voted down a deal that would have given Turkey billions of dollars in exchange for allowing America to use military bases in Turkey from which to attack Iraq. The markets were counting on the money to alleviate woes in the Turkish economy.
Mohammed in Custody of United States Suspected 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shiekh Mohammed was placed in the custody of the United States early this morning. He was expected to be questioned on details of planned al Qaeda attacks after his weekend capture.
Palm Misses Earnings Estimates This morning, Palm warned Wall Street of lower-than-expected sales during the company's third fiscal quarter. The handheld maker said revenue for its quarter, which ended last month, will come in at approximately $208 million, compared with its previous expectation of $240 million. Palm blamed the revenue warning on lower-than-anticipated sales in the United States of its high-end Tungsten handhelds.
Former ImClone CEO Faces Charges of Tax Evasion Former ImClone Chief Executive Samuel Waksal, awaiting sentencing for insider trading, on Monday faced new charges related to taxes on art purchases, sources familiar with the situation said. The charges appear to be unrelated to ImClone, but insiders say that the situation is perhaps indicative of Waksal's character. ImClone came to recent notoriety in the Martha Stewart insider trading case, which is ongoing.
US Stocks Continue Rise Both technology stocks and the broader market continued their upward trend in early trading this morning. After two days of increases in stock prices, followed by the weekend capture of Khalid Shiekh Mohammed, stock prices continued to move upward on Monday morning.
China's Lunar Program Unveiled China has revealed further details of its plans to explore the Moon early this morning. The first unmanned probe could be launched by 2005, say officials. They also hinted that the motivation for the missions is to mine the Moon's resources.
Sony Debuts Blue Laser DVD Technology This morning, Sony unveiled its first Blu-Ray optical disc format recorder. The format is similar to DVD, but incorporates blue laser light to increase storage space to 27 GB. According to Sony, the reason for this needed increase in storage space is that DVDs cannot hold enough data to be suitable for true high-definition video. Players go on sale next month in Japan and will reach the United States soon after.
Antivirus Firm Takes On Spam Trend Micro, a company known more for its antivirus technologies, announced new software that will help IT managers protect their networks from unwanted spam. The program, called Spam Prevention Service, is a piece of network-level software that uses algorithms and mechanisms similar to that of antivirus software.
Sugar May Cause Obesity The World Health Organization is calling for a drastic decrease in sugar consumption worldwide, citing recent studies linking sugar to obesity. The new recommended diet consists primarily of carbohydrates making up 55 to 75 per cent of daily energy intake. Protein should make up a further 10 to 15 percent of a person's diet. Sugars, added and natural, should make up less than 10 percent, and salt should be restricted to less than five grams a day.
Gene Found For Cancer Spread An American research team has discovered a gene responsible for the spread of cancer through the body. The work, done by a team at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, indicates that a new treatment strategy, involving knocking out this gene, may be appropriate for treating the rapid spread of cancer throughout the body in diseased individuals.
Tiger Wins Again in Different Format Tiger Woods won the Accenture Match Play tournament over David Toms 2 and 1 on Sunday, winning his second tournament in three weeks. Featuring a one-on-one style of play different than the usual style of golf, the match play tournament figured to be a difficult challenge for Woods, coming off of December knee surgery, but Tiger easily conquered the format as he prepares for the upcoming Grand Slam tournaments.
Roy Jones Jr. Faces Challenges As Heavyweight After defeating WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz on Saturday, Roy Jones Jr. (a former middleweight champion) must now decide whether or not to accept the heavyweight title or continue to retain his light heavyweight belt. At 199 pounds, most competitors outweigh Jones, but he is the undisputed king of the lighter weights and has nothing to prove. Jones must choose in the next seven days, and if he decides to keep the title, he must face #1 contender Vitali Klitschko (6'9", 270 lbs.) in 180 days. If he manages to win there, it may set up a reunification bout with Lennox Lewis in perhaps one of the biggest boxing matches of all time.
Chicago Dominates Director's Guild Awards Chicago claimed the top slot in the Directors Guild of America awards, lending creedence to the film's position as the favorite for the upcoming Academy Awards. The film's director, Rob Marshall, was also noted as the top director.
Anthony Hopkins Weds Anthony Hopkins, known for playing Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs and its sequels, wed antiques dealer Stella Arroyave in a private ceremony over the weekend in Malibu. This is the third marriage for Hopkins.
So, why were there no headlines posted for the past four days?
I was on a whirlwind promotional tour to promote one of my organization's products. The tour took me to Santa Fe, Denver, San Francisco, and Chicago in as many days, with a lot of late night flying and (since I cannot fall asleep on airplanes) No-Doz-fueled presentations.
Fortunately, things went well. My presentations went off well and we seemed to generate some serious enthusiasm in what we're doing.
Unfortunately, due to a mix of exhaustion and a touch of vertigo or dizziness or something, I had some really odd visions on the last flight leg. I kept imagining there was a very large person walking down the aisle toward me. The person had long hair and a goatee and had some blood on his face. But even though he seemed to be walking fast, the person never made it back to me. I don't know why, but I was deathly afraid of this individual.
No matter, I'm back on terra firma, at least for a while.
Today is also my 22nd birthday. Great gifts yet to come as the things I'm getting haven't been shipped by Amazon.com yet. I hear I'm in line for some Futurama DVDs. Scribe sent me a neat Blinky the 3-eyed fish for by my computer desk and a decorative joystick sticker for the fridge. My coworkers, in lieu of an office party with cake I couldn't eat, just gave me the party fund cash instead and told me to go celebrate on my own with something. I think a visit to Best Buy is in my future.
As a college student at a rather prominent American university, I am often offered the opportunity to see famous people of all breeds - scientists, politicians, actors, writers, and more - come speak to an open audience about their life experience. Just last Saturday, Sean Astin came to campus to release his new independent film and field questions about his previous movies (with a distressing number of questions being asked about The Goonies).
I usually skip out on these opportunities. I'd rather spend my time at my baby, the campus radio station. Tonight was no exception.
I pulled my car up to the front of the student center with my roommate Mike, parked, grabbed my bag of CDs I lug around practically everywhere, and headed for the front doors. Looming in front of us were two people somewhat clumsily operating the handicapped doors, and with them a person in a motorized wheelchair, and Mike and I rather easily caught up to them. They reached the inner foyer, but the chair was going terribly slow. Unbearably so, I finally decided, and I adroitly passed them with an apologetic smile to one of the assistants.
Poor kid, I thought to myself rather absentmindedly. Mike being a bit behind me was forced to hold the door open for the party. I went straight down the stairs to the radio station, never once looking back.
As I started in to do my daily business, Mike came in the station and headed straight for the office. "Dude, did you see who that was?."
"Stephen Hawking?" I joked.
Mike was like, "Yeah! Wow, I can't believe it."
I looked at him like he was stupid. "That wasn't Stephen Hawking."
"Umm .. yeah, it was."
"No way."
"Stephen fucking Hawking, dude. That was awesome, I held the door for him! I told him I loved his books, too."
I was floored. I have a respect for physics (but not the capacity for it) and I had read his books before - he was my favorite besides Feynman for making the hard stuff sound simple. And I had just walked right past him without saying a word!
Mike later decided the most productive thing he had ever done in his life was hold the door for a man as productive as Dr. Hawking. I kicked myself for missing an opportunity to thank a man who has given mankind new insight into our universe as we (vaguely) know it. And both of us agreed that next time we bump into the prestigious astrophysicist, we would compliment him on his madd MC skillz.

Birthday card
Had parts of this card made for a while but finally put it all together. Stamped the candles and coloured with alcohol markers and then stamped the swirls in two different colours of inks. Then added some dots with Anita's 3-D clear gloss liquid embossing (had for years and not used). The background is a designer paper by Dovecraft (curiosity corner) which I over stamped with stars in green and gold inks. Have a lovely day and thanks for the visit.
Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.
save me because of your unfailing love.
Psalm 6:4

My dogs love this treat! They think it's beef jerky, and run into their crates for it.
I will continue to buy this product.It has been amazing for my dogs teeth.
My beloved dachshund loves them, even though they are good for him!
My dog loved these, but I had to watch him carefully because he would get them soft and then gulp them down. So suggest you be with your dog while he/she chews on them and be sure he doesn't choke. I was happy they didn't have the medicinal smell that some CT chews have
In an effort to provide good, daily dental care for my dogs, I looked into and purchased these chews based on reviews and recommendation from a local veterinary dentist. When I got them home, my dogs initially loved them (there's little they don't) but then I read the ingredients. A product that, on the one hand, uses state-of-the-art science to apply enzymes that will help prevent dental disease shouldn't also contain "animal digest" or "poultry digest", a boiled-down concentration of animal protein using chemicals and enzymes that is then added to food, or in this case chews, to enhance the palatability of the product. Why? If the original ingredients taste good enough on their own, this low-quality, bottom-of-the-barrel ingredient shouldn't be necessary.
Very similar, if not same product as CET chews. The ingredient list was identical and the product feels the same too. My dogs like it, and as far as I could tell, there was no difference to them between that and their CET chew.
Certainly arrived quickly. I cannot say how well they are doing on tarter and breath yet, too soon. But I can say my little Maltese has one gobbled down in no time. We were using the CET chews before and he liked them as well, but not as enthusiastically as these.
My Zoe loves getting a dental chew each morning. It's her "good bye for the day treat" that's good for her!
Great for my dog's teeth. My dog really liked the taste.
I was a bit hesitant to purchase these but they work as well as the other brand and the dogs love them!
My dog has always loved the CET chews. We gave the ora-clens a try and she loves these too. Her teeth are still as clean and they digest just as easy. Love the cheaper price too!
The products and prices here are fine but the service and communication from this company is the worst ever, save aggravation and purchase elsewhere.
My dog loves chewing on this treat, and his teeth are in great shape. He likes the size smaller than that recommended on the website for his size.
My dog has always enjoyed a good chew bone, however, with her being up in years now (15 years old), her teeth needed something softer that would break apart more easily. These chews enable her to still enjoy chewing while being of benefit to her oral hygiene as well.
I love this product because it makes it easier to help with my dogs oral hygene. I give her one a day and they truly help keep her teeth clean and white. They sure beat trying to brush her teeth all of the time and she thinks that she is getting a treat.
Our 3 dogs love this product. I give each one a treat and I hope it helps keep their teeth clean. I do clean their teeth every other day.
With 3 small dogs, I have a hard time with teeth cleaning. Tried these as a supplement and they do an ok job. My older dog who has the most problems, it is not keeping up with the tarter growth, but it is effective in keeping the younger dogs clean.
Can't believe how much my dog loves these and the price is unbelievable. I was paying three times as much for a competitors item that wasn't as good for my dog as these were.
I purchased a 3 pack Ora-Clens Oral Hygiene Chews for my 2 dogs as an addition to their other treats. They like them because they apparently taste good and I like them because of the teeth cleaning aspect. I bought them at a special low price, so I hope the price increase isn't too great after the special expires.
My 3 doggies love the Ora-Clens chews. Cleaner teeth, fresh breath...what more could you ask for?? Thanks Entirely Pets!
My mini Schnauzer loves this chew as he looks forward to it each evening before bedtime. They are easily digestible and cause no stomach nor intestine issues.
These are wonderful! All my dogs (large and small) love these. They eagerly wait as I get them one and they chew it up with ease. No sick tummies and no diarrhea. Fresh breath, clean teeth and happy dog!
I originally had won a bag of the oral hygiene chews at the entirely pets free friday giveaway on facebook, and when my dog tried these he was instantly hooked,I LOVE that they are dental sticks and help improve his dental hygiene but he must love the flavor because when he sees me reaching for the bag he starts doing his tricks he has learned. I have continued buying these for over 2 years since then and will continue doing so, especially with the prize entirelypets has them for it's a must.Highly Recommend these treats
My dog enjoys chewing on these.
I have three small dogs. At first my oldest dog had a really difficult time chewing these (her teeth are in bad shape), but after a week she was finally able to finish one the chews in one sitting! I can actually see her teeth starting to turn back to white. It is absolutely amazing! My other two dogs LOVE Ora-Clens too. This is hands down a must buy. The results are gradual but they will happen.
My owners know what I like, and I LIKE these chews. I'd eat the whole bag of 'em if they weren't lookin!!?!?!!!
My dogs are so picky about treats that I was worried they would turn up their nose, but they immediately loved them. I break them into smaller pieces and use them for a quick reward. I am really pleased. I have no idea yet if their teeth are getting cleaner yet, but time will tell.
never ended up purchasing this product form entirely pets, there order processing time and shipping time and customer service were so poor that i cancelled the order and purchased elsewhere, the product is good but do not buy it from entirely pets, no matter what price they give you,

How to find all implementations of IEnumerable not implementing ICollection
Aug 12th
Following my last post on benchmarking madness, here is a short one about finding .net classes or interfaces based on given criteria.
While writing my last post, I found myself having a hard time searching for classes implementing IEnumerable<T>
without also implementing ICollection<T>
Indeed, beside String
, there is not so many…

Benchmarking madness: IEnumerable
Aug 12th
What is the best way to know if an IEnumerable<T>
contains at least one element?
I mean, what is the most optimized way to know this information?
Maybe the first thing that came to my mind was to do some .Count() > 0
check, but if you think of it, the Count()
extension method would have to enumerate the entire collection to know its length. This seems a little overkill.

follow along with the developments in rest of the world the Soviet
Union launched its own super fast trains initiative in 1993 following
the "slightly successfull" ER-200
types, of
which two were built back in 1967 and the third unit later. Picture of
the ER200 below. The Sokol was one of the projects of utmost importance for the national pride. The Soviet Union was already at the brink of a collapse by then and the new Russia with stronger economy had not yet been born for many years. So the times were tough both economically and structurally. The institutions which had been supporting the development for decades, were gone all of the sudden. Even so, the project progressed steadily. The hopes were high and 450 million US dollars were spent on the design and prototype. The construction of the Sokol-250 prototype was started in 1999 and by 2001 the train below was finished for the test run, which would prove the train to be "unsatisfactory". Here a Sokol-250 prototype train waiting for the tests at the test rink at The Rail Transport Research Institute - VNIIZhT in Russia. A
single automatic coupler + bumper is typical for the Russian trains (as
well as for all the U.S. trains). However this coupler in the picture
might just be somekind
of temporary coupler used when the train is towed from one place to
another. Obvious from the picture is that this coupler must be
retracted back under the (missing) cover from the harsh weather when
not in use. Retractable coupler might not be a very good idea on fast
trains in extremely cold climates as the Pendolino
trains used in Finland have proved. The
bogie of the test trains along with impressive electronics to track
developments on the tests. The
entrance for the coaches of the test train. In Russia the platforms are
extremely high to enable easy access even to the high floor
vehicles. A great shot from the photographer showing the rounded nose of the Sokol-250 / Ñîêîë-250. The engineer sure looks worried, as probably should before any test run. And the front view of the aerodynamic train! The
test runs in 2001 were unsatisfactory (this was widely published info,
although the chief designer did not agree), called by the head of
Ministry of Transport "historical mistake" with the price tag of 450
million dollars. The Commision found a total of 50 problems in the
train! See also the Russian high speed theme page!

Engineering The T.607 Represents the base of the newly developed cold weather range of shorts, knickers and tights. It is part of the new Campionissimo line of garments with a new pattern design, newly developed textiles, new inserts and a refined assembly process. Construction The T.607 is built out of 12 panels using 5 different textiles and 29 components, all carefully engineered, defined and applied. The main textile used is a heavier version of the legendary RX microfibre, fleece type insulator fabric with a brushed inner surface. The Brand new RXQ Fabric improves on RX by becoming more robust and featuring a 3D air channel inner structure. Not only are the fabrics redefined, Assos redefined a new 4 panel cut, perfectly calibrated to the fabrics used. The heart of the T.607 is its insert, the Assos S5 elastic interface as seen on the FI.Mille. RXQ The newly developed RXQ fabric is based on the legendary Assos RX textile. RXQ is an active breathable, two way stretch. soft touch, microfiber insulator fabric. lt's uniqueness lies in the fact that its brushed fleece inner surface is a hollow micro Polyester blend featuring 30 air channel texture which creates a next-to-body micro air cushion. Air is an insulator; wrapping your body with such a structured textile will enhance and promote this function. Lowering the volume of the fabric while enhancing its push-pull performance improves it's body heat retention properties.
