Regions dealing with Zika-carrying mosquitoes could have another threat to monitor as tropical activity picks up this season.
Millions of honeybees were killed in Dorchester County, South Carolina, as a result of a controversial aerial spray that was targeting Zika-carrying mosquitoes.
While mosquitoes are typically seen as a summertime pests in much of the country, continued periods of warmth could mean that the insects hang around longer than usual into the fall season.
With more than a thousand new cases of Zika reported in Puerto Rico for the first week of September, the numbers of those infected may rise even higher as the U.S. territory enters its fall rainy season.
Without funding, the federal fight against the spread of the Zika virus will eventually come to a complete stop, officials say.
The Florida Department of Health (DOH) has identified 10 new locally-acquired cases of the Zika virus in Florida, Governor Rick Scott announced on Monday.
Some Florida Keys residents are drumming up support against a new initiative to release genetically modified mosquitoes into their neighborhoods to fight Zika.
Four people in Florida are likely the first in the United States to contract the Zika virus by local mosquitoes, officials said Friday.

Is it the fact i wont pay $18 or the fact i point out the obnoxiousness of the ad whoring that bothers?

Yields 24
A super buttery dough gives these rolls wonderful flavor, but what makes them irresisitible is the way they separate into fluffy layers as they bake. A must-have for Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until lukewarm (about 95°F). Remove from the heat and whisk in the yeast until it dissolves. Add the oil and butter—the butter may begin to melt, but it's OK if it doesn't melt completely—and then whisk in the sugar. Let rest until the yeast just begins to float to the surface, about 5 minutes.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl), combine the flour, salt, and egg. Add the yeast mixture and mix on low speed (or with a large spoon) until a coarse ball of dough forms, about 1 minute. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Replace the paddle attachment with the dough hook and mix on medium-low speed (or knead by hand on a lightly oiled work surface) until the dough feels soft, supple, and pliable, about 3 minutes; it should feel tacky to the touch, but not sticky, and pull away from your finger when poked instead of sticking to it. If the dough is too sticky, add 1 Tbs. flour at a time, kneading to incorporate. If it's stiff, knead in 1 Tbs. of milk at a time.
Rub a little vegetable oil on a work surface to create an 8-inch circle and put the dough on this spot. Stretch and fold the dough over itself from all four sides to the center, crimping it where the folded ends meet, to form it into a tight, round ball.
Put the dough seam side down in a lightly oiled bowl that's twice the size of the dough. Tightly cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature until doubled in size, about 90 minutes.
Mist two 12-cup muffin tins with vegetable oil spray.
With a bench knife, divide the dough into 24 pieces, about 2 oz. each. Wipe the work surface with a damp towel or mist lightly with vegetable oil spray (don't use flour). Form your hand into a cup by curling your fingers slightly, with your thumb snug against your index finger. Use this cupped hand to press and rotate a piece of dough as if you were trying to screw it through the dampened work surface. It should form a smooth round ball within 5 seconds and pop up into your cupped hand.
Using kitchen shears, cut through the top center of the roll, almost all the way through, leaving about 1/4-inch of dough at the bottom to hold the two halves together. Cut one of the halves twice more at 1/2-inch intervals parallel to the first cut. Repeat these cuts on the other half for a total of six sections, each about 1/2-inch wide. Place the dough, cut side up, into the prepared muffin pan. Brush the melted butter over the top and down into the cuts. Repeat with the remaining dough, placing 12 rolls into each muffin pan.
Mist the top of the rolls with vegetable oil spray and cover the pans loosely with plastic wrap. Allow the rolls to proof at room temperature until they nearly double in size, 60 to 90 minutes. The time vary depending on the temperature of the room and the dough; if you made the dough ahead and refrigerated it, the cold dough will take longer to proof.
Position the oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. If using a convection oven, heat the oven to 350°F; if using a conventional oven, heat the oven to 375°F. Bake the rolls for 7 minutes. Rotate the tins 180 degrees and swap their placement on the racks. Continue baking until the rolls turn rich golden-brown on top, 7 to 9 minutes more. Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
The dough may be made up to 4 days ahead of shaping. Kept wrapped in plastic and refrigerated, it will slowly rise to double its size. Shape the dough right out of the fridge. Cold dough will take longer to proof than room temperature dough.

Alternate name: Round-hood Milkweed
Family: Asclepiadaceae, Milkweed view all from this family
Description Native perennial forb. A flowering perennial with thick, white, woolly stems which bend or run along the ground. The plentiful, hanging flowers are rounded structures with reflexed corollas and starlike arrays of bulbous anthers.
The flowers are dull to bright shades of lavender or pink, in bloom April through July.
Warning All plants in the genus Asclepias are probably somewhat toxic, some fatally so, to both humans and animals. The sap of some causes skin irritation in humans. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.
Habitat Dry slopes.
Range California and northern Baja California.

What is the future of the architecture profession? Daniel S. Friedman, FAIA, dean of the University of Washington's College of Built Environments and president of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, responds.
Obviously things are changing very fast. Most practitioners I talk to predict fewer jobs in conventional offices coming out of the recession; most worry about a continuing loss of control over design; and yet most see new opportunities managing carbon footprints and energy. Designing sustainable environments in turn generates new programs of research and drives new policies surrounding urban growth, water, health, transportation, infrastructure, and density, which are rapidly reshaping our core compositional vocabulary. The public needs our expertise, if only we can figure out a way to win its trust and imagination with something besides swagger architecture.
I doubt we'll achieve lasting influence over the built environment unless we move the professional curriculum in a radically new direction. I hear principals of large firms express more interest in funded research, project delivery, and hybrid services. I hear administrators talking more about alternative careers, which begs assumptions underlying regulation. Soon we'll need to decide how much it matters that less than half of all our full-time tenure-track professors are licensed, and whether or not we care that fewer and fewer students and interns value registration.
Architecture as a profession is still in formation, and the shape it takes is bound to look much different than past models. The discipline of architecture continues to exert a powerful influence on our professional discourse, which is why the curriculum will always be a battleground. Whatever we're becoming, we're likely to be more integrative, more pragmatic, more innovative in our application of novel materials and methods of manufacture, more attentive to building performance, more invested in politics and culture and social equity, and more expansive and variegated in our application of design reasoning across diverse scales of production and experience.
I remember something the urban economist David Perry said to me a few years ago when I asked him to explain the difference between architects and planners. He said, "When architects put something physical into the world, they think of their job as done; when planners put something physical into the world, they think of their job as just beginning." David's distinction is fast becoming a thing of the past. Today's architect thinks of building more as system and less as an object. Tomorrow's profession will be increasingly systemic and contextual, with composition and construction steadily following suit. As told to William Richards.

I'm going back to my Z80, I understood that.
I just wish I had an immediate use for an 800 it looks like such a great chip. But I'm up to my arse writing low-level drivers for the LPC1227 at present.______Rob
do you think the LPC812 is as good as any
or is there a model you'd suggest?
I see the LPC812 has no ADC
Using the RISC approach, the core ARM processor requires only 35,000 transistors, compared to the millions in many conventional processor chips, resulting in lower power usage and making it very attractive in smaller devices.
I also discovered that the free LPCXpresso IDE only does C, not C++. Major bummer.

Deeplinks Blog posts about DMCA
A series of bluegrass history lectures has become the latest victim of the bullying that is enabled by content filtering systems like YouTube's Content ID.
Once upon a time, there were two major browsers that virtually everyone used: Netscape and Internet Explorer, locked in a death-battle for the future of the Web. They went to enormous lengths to tempt Web publishers to optimize their sites to work best inside their windows, and hoped that users would follow.
Then, a game-changer: the open, nonprofit Mozilla browser spun out of Netscape, with the mission of putting users, not publishers, in charge. Mozilla defaulted to blocking pop-up ads, the scourge of the early Web. It was a step none of the major browsers could afford to take, because publishers were convinced they would go broke without them, and any company whose browser blocked pop-ups by default would alienate the publishers, who'd throw their lot in with the competition.
I remember the launch of iTunes in 2001. Hurrying home from the MacWorld conference in San Francisco, downloading the app, making a stack of CDs next to my Powerbook, ripping them as fast as my machine would go. Rip, Mix, Burn, baby!
The other thing I remember is how the media industry viewed iTunes: they hated it. They hated people using iTunes to rip CDs, they hated mixing and burning. The only reason they let the iPod/iTunes ecosystem live was because when they sued the company that made the first MP3 players, they lost.
Earlier this year, an independent security researcher named Rotem Kerner came forward to disclose critical bugs in a digital video recorder that was integrated into over 70 vendors' CCTV-based security systems.
The vulnerability is a grave one. These DVRs are designed to be connected to whole networks of security cameras. By compromising them, thieves can spy on their targets using the targets' own cameras. In fact, Kerner was part of a team at RSA who published a report in 2014 that showed that thieves were using these vulnerable system to locate and target cash-registers for robberies.
As networked computers disappear into our bodies, working their way into hearing aids, pacemakers, and prostheses, information security has never been more urgent -- or personal. A networked body needs its computers to work well, and fail even better.
Graceful failure is the design goal of all critical systems. Nothing will ever work perfectly, so when things go wrong, you want to be sure that the damage is contained, and that the public has a chance to learn from past mistakes.
That's why EFF has just filed comments with the FDA in an open docket on cyber-security guidelines for medical systems, letting the agency know about the obstacles that a species of copyright law -- yes, copyright law! -- has put in the way of medical safety.

Out of a pool of 120 aspiring opera singers from across the country, we selected eight to compete at Centre Stage: Ensemble Studio Competition on November 3, 2015, our annual celebration of the next generation of opera stars selected from nationwide auditions for the COC Ensemble Studio – Canada's premier training program for young opera professionals. The competition features the young singers vying for cash prizes ranging in value from $1,500 to $5,000.
The young singers featured in the 2015 vocal competition are: mezzo-soprano Emily D'Angelo (Toronto); mezzo-soprano Lauren Eberwein (London, Ontario); soprano Eliza Johnson (Stratford, Ontario); mezzo-soprano Marjorie Maltais (Clermont, Quebec); soprano Samantha Pickett (Kitchener, Ontario); baritone Zachary Read (Halifax); baritone Bruno Roy (Montreal); and mezzo-soprano Pascale Spinney (Laval, Quebec).
[For mobile versions: Emily D'Angelo (Toronto); mezzo-soprano Lauren Eberwein (London, Ontario); soprano Eliza Johnson (Stratford, Ontario); mezzo-soprano Marjorie Maltais (Clermont, Quebec); soprano Samantha Pickett (Kitchener, Ontario); baritone Zachary Read (Halifax); baritone Bruno Roy (Montreal); and mezzo-soprano Pascale Spinney (Laval, Quebec).]
At Centre Stage, each finalist will give a performance showcasing their vocal technique, as well as artistic and interpretive range, before an audience and panel of judges. First, Second and Third prizes, worth $5,000, $3,000 and $1,500, are awarded, in addition to an Audience Choice Award selected by audience vote, worth $1,500. Select finalists are also invited to join the COC's 2016/2017 Ensemble Studio, to be announced at a later date.
"The level of operatic talent being trained in this country is incredible, which is why we created an event like Centre Stage in the first place, to celebrate that richness of talent," says COC General Director Alexander Neef. "We hear many promising voices through the Ensemble Studio audition process but it's how a singer's talent, hunger for an opera career and that unquantifiable 'X' factor come together that truly sets them apart. Looking at this year's Centre Stage finalists, the stage is set for an exciting preview of the operatic talent to watch in Canada."
Hosting Centre Stage this year are the competition's previous winners: soprano Karine Boucher and tenor Charles Sy, both current members of the COC Ensemble Studio. These two rising opera talents will oversee the evening's vocal fireworks on November 3, when the eight singers perform from the mainstage of Canada's first purpose-built opera house before an audience of 1,000 people and accompanied by the internationally acclaimed COC Orchestra conducted by COC Music Director Johannes Debus. Also performing is a surprise musical guest joined by the COC Orchestra led by Maestro Debus.
COC General Director Alexander Neef heads the jury for the vocal competition portion of the evening, joined by COC Director of Music and Artistic Administration Roberto Mauro, Director of the COC Ensemble Studio and Orchestra Academy Nina Draganić, and Head of the COC Ensemble Studio Liz Upchurch, as well as Canadian soprano and Ensemble Studio Head Vocal Consultant Wendy Nielsen, who is also a graduate of the COC's program. The judging panel deliberates on location and announces the competition winners at the event's conclusion.
In addition to winning the evening's cash prizes, finalists hope to earn a place in the COC's Ensemble Studio, which can be a singer's first step towards an international career. The Centre Stage audience will hear the singers selected to follow in the footsteps of such renowned Ensemble Studio alumni as Ben Heppner, Isabel Bayrakdarian, John Fanning, Wendy Nielsen, David Pomeroy, Joseph Kaiser, Allyson McHardy, Lauren Segal and Krisztina Szabó.
Doors open to the Four Seasons Centre (145 Queen St. W.) at 5:30 p.m. and Centre Stage takes place at 6:30 p.m. in R. Fraser Elliott Hall. Centre Stage Competition tickets are $100 and include a pre-competition cocktail celebration in the Four Seasons Centre's sparkling Isadore and Rosalie Sharp City Room. Specially priced $35 tickets are also available for patrons between the ages of 16 and 29 through Opera Under 30 sponsored by TD.
Following the competition, Centre Stage Dinner guests go on to enjoy an elegant formal dinner from the privileged vantage point of the Four Seasons Centre stage, joined by competition finalists and winners, notable COC artists and key supporters of the opera company. Guests are treated to a culinary experience by critically acclaimed chef David Lee, a rare opportunity to enjoy his gastronomic creations outside of dining at Nota Bene where Lee is the executive chef. Centre Stage Dinner tickets, encompassing the competitive vocal showcase and exclusive black-tie dinner, are $1,500, with a limited number available for purchase.

The gowns, the romance, the tragedy! La Traviata is an opera filled with the passion and pathos opera is known for, but did you know that it stands for so much more? Check out our top 11 things you need to know about Verdi's romantic epic, La Traviata, and get your tickets before it's too late!
From the 1830s until his death, Verdi was the reigning opera composer in Italy. Over the course of his career the art form underwent significant changes, including shifts in preferred subject matter, staging conventions and techniques of composition. Verdi was front and centre in driving many of the innovations that modernized Italian opera.
La Traviata is based on the French play La dame aux Camélias (1852) by Alexandre Dumas fils, which the author had adapted for the stage from his own best-selling novel of the same name (1848). Dumas' play attracted Verdi's attention because it offered a new and invigorating realism. In this story, morality did not necessarily triumph, the scale was intimate and personal, focusing on people's private lives, and the characters and situations were recognizably contemporary, speaking to all manner of issues that were relevant to, and vigorously debated by, the public in mid-1800s Europe. As Verdi wrote to a friend, it was "a subject of the times. Others would not have done it because of the conventions, the epoch, and for a thousand other stupid scruples."
Verdi fought, but lost, to have La Traviata set in the present day—he wanted the sets and costumes to be continuous with the clothes and rooms of his 19th-century audience, as the opera depicted a part of their quickly changing, heady cultural world. But wherever Traviata was staged during Verdi's life, censors and theatre managers demanded that the time period be pushed into remote history—around 1700 was the preferred chronological remove—to dilute the shock and social critique inherent in the work. Its relevance to contemporary society was not lost on audiences, however, as evidenced by denunciations of La Traviata in many cities and countries. After its English premiere (1856), for example, The Times protested against the opera's "foul and hideous horrors," and sale of the English translation of the libretto was forbidden in the U.K.
La Traviata's premiere on March 6, 1853 at the La Fenice opera house in Venice received decidedly mixed reviews. The next year, staged in another theatre and with some alterations to the score by Verdi, La Traviata triumphed magnificently, and has only grown in popularity since. One unverifiable legend claims that in the last hundred years, there has been a performance of La Traviata every single night somewhere in the world.
La Traviata translates to "the woman led astray," and Violetta is without a doubt one of opera's most interesting examples of the "fallen woman." As she changes throughout the opera, Verdi gives her unforgettable music that charts an authentic psychological trajectory of change and growth, making her not only of the best-loved heroines in opera, but one of the most real and complete as well.
Dumas, the author of the novel and play that served as the basis of La Traviata, really did fall in love with a famous Parisian courtesan named Marie Duplessis (1824-1847) who was the model for the doomed heroine of La dame aux Camélias, as well as Verdi's opera. Duplessis was born in Normandy and by the time she was twelve her alcoholic father had forced her into prostitution. Three years later she came to Paris and worked briefly at a dance hall, and then gradually made her way into wealthier and more refined circles as a courtesan. In addition to her physical beauty, she was graceful and charming; having learnt to read and write, she amassed a library, read broadly, and was a smart and fascinating conversationalist. She charged extraordinary rates for appearing with clients in public and cultivated expensive tastes. Camellias, her preferred flowers, cost three francs each, roughly the daily salary of a labourer. She had many famous lovers drawn from high society, including a passionate affair with the composer Franz Liszt. Like Violetta she suffered from, and ultimately succumbed to, tuberculosis.
Unlike Rigoletto, for example, in which the music does not carry any explicit messages about the historical or geographic setting of the action, La Traviata does. Verdi quite deliberately gives us music that is infused with the local colour of Paris in the mid-1800s. He does this by using and making frequent reference to the waltz, a dance that was symbolic of the very rhythm, pace and structure of 19th-century society, especially the fringes of respectability where courtesans and other persons of doubtful morality would have been located.
Tuberculosis in the 19th century was thought to be closely connected to city-living and the moral recklessness it entailed, so Violetta's ailment very specifically reflects her occupation and position in society. That being said, the illness also had a romantic aura. In the words of William Berger, suffering from it was the period's "version of 'heroin chic.'"
When Verdi was asked later in his career which of his operas was his favourite he replied "Speaking as an amateur, La Traviata, as a professional, Rigoletto."
This production is staged by Arin Arbus—"a star in the making" (New York Times)—who sets the work in the exciting demi-monde of 19th-century Paris, a world of parties, pleasure and debauchery, which Verdi's opera depicts with such pin-point accuracy.
Costumes by Cait O'Connor are both decadent and playful, befitting the excesses that constitute the opera's cultural ethos. Take a closer look at the designs with costume designer Cait O'Connor here, mobile version here.

The market offers investors few guarantees but here's something I learned during my trading days: When a stock gains more than 10 percentage points in a single day, chances are it will disappoint the next day.
That's the case with China's solar stocks, which surged yesterday on news that China would double the spending on the industry.
Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) has dropped about 4% after gaining 10.3% yesterday, Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Ltd. (YGE) has fallen 3.7% after rising 18%, JA Solar Holdings Co. (JASO) has plummeted 5.8% after surging 20%, JinkoSolar Holding Co. (JKS) has plunged 4.3% after climbing more than 19% and Suntech Power Holdings Co. (STP) has fallen 4.6% after rising 11% yesterday.
Part of the problem is that it's unclear how much of a game changer China's announcement really is. As Nomura's analysts noted yesterday, these companies are still far from being profitable, though they believe the low valuations could make this a compelling place to but the stocks–even after yesterday's surge.
Not everyone is so sure.

|Research Interests
I am interested in making robots act purposefully and successfully in a world in which most everything is uncertain. Sensors are noisy, actions are imprecise, and objects are often in the wrong location. Despite such obstacles to purposeful action, there are many tasks that can be accomplished successfully. Humans, animals, and some machines are proof. Providing robots with the ability to operate autonomously and purposefully requires an understanding of how different tasks may be accomplished by different repertoires of actions. Grasping, hitting, and dropping are some actions that are useful in a robot's repertoire. More exotic actions include shaking, twirling, and other actions that randomize an object's state. Recently I constructed a "two-palm robot". The robot consisted of two manipulator arms cooperating to manipulate objects without the need for full kinematic constraint. The arms "programmed themselves", that is, they invoked an automatic planner to find sequences of motions for reorienting objects in their palms. The planner built a geometric graph based on a critical event analysis of the underlying mechanics.
My work is motivated by several desires. First, I would like to program robots more easily than is currently possible. Second, I would like to understand the scope and limitations of autonomous systems, whether biological or artificial. Third, I would like to reduce the complexity of design and planning by codifying the design parameters required to achieve a given level of automation. An underlying goal of my research is to understand the relationship between sensing, action, and prediction. In the past, I have explored various extreme points in this space. With Matt Mason I explored sensorless strategies, for my thesis work I looked at randomized strategies, and most recently I investigated fast-action minimal-sensing strategies. My research draws on tools from geometry, mechanics, planning, and stochastic processes.
|Additional Interests
I am interested in sensing strategies that acquire object shape and configuration concurrently during manipulation, a research direction pioneered by my former students Yan-Bin Jia and Mark Moll. Currently, Matt Mason, Sidd Srinivasa, and I are working on a related project to develop a theory of task-level kinesthetic perception.
I am also interested in protein homology, in particular determining structural homology from sparse NMR data. I am exploring techniques from knot theory to model protein structures.
|Research Interest Keywords
|manipulation mechanics, mobile manipulation, motion planning, protein knot theory, protein structure, shape sensing

Dan Mullen is bringing in a familiar face.
Billy Gonzales, a former Florida and Illinois assistant, will be hired as wide receivers coach for Mississippi State, according to multiple reports Tuesday.
Gonzales coached with Mullen for eight years (2001-08) at Bowling Green, Utah and Florida, as the pair followed Urban Meyer from stop to stop. Gonzales has coached receivers for most of his 19-year career, and he also served as co-offensive coordinator at Illinois his one year there.
The Gonzales hire means Tim Brewster, who coached MSU's receivers last season, will be moved to tight ends coach, a more familiar role for him. Scott Sallach, who's coached tight ends since 2009, will likely move into an administrative role.
Things didn't go so well for Gonazles at Illinois, as the team went 2-10 in head coach Tim Beckman's first season. Chris Beatty, with whom Gonzales shared offensive coordinator duties, was fired following the season.
Gonzales has also coached at LSU (2010-11), Kent State (1995-2000) and MacMurray College (1994).

No doubt there was confusions in there early years between the breeds and varieties of the Newfoundland dogs. Fortunately, here is the "Larger Newfoundland," from the same text for comparison, 1859.
The Labrador today can carry the "long hair gene" which you can even have DNA tested to see if it there. The Flat-coat originally was likely nothing more than a longer haired lesser St. John's dog (later crossed with setters etc..). The tail...we have all seen much worse curls in some of the finest field bred Labradors.
The biggest problem with looking at and talking about the original stock from whence came the Labrador is that from all accounts, it is a very diverse population of dogs with a wide range of varying characteristics. There was not one consistent "type" but rather two broad general categories, Big ("Larger") and Small ("Lesser"), which were later separated into "Breeds." Within each of those two categories there was a lot of variation in coat, tail, weight, height, temperament, intelligence, strength, head, color, etc... What we have today are standardized breeds based on what those that developed the breed liked for their own purposes. In the case of the Labrador, the Britts and Scotts utilized the traits they liked from the Lesser St. John's Dogs and then bred in and out traits they wanted or disliked, respectively, to meet their ideals. The idea that the "original Labrador" from the shores of Newfoundland is the same as the Labrador today, or even of the early 1900's is foolhardy. So, to answer the OP question, a Labrador is supposed to look like a Labrador. As easy as that sounds, it is overly simplistic. We have a breed standard (now loosely based on the original one from the UK (that is being generous)), but we have just as wide...if not a wider variance in Labradors today than was present in the early 1900's and possibly even greater than what the St. John's Dog itself had before imported and turned into the Labrador breed. If anyone wants to claim that the Lab is the same as the St. John's dog, then they ought to embrace any and all variable characteristics that present themselves in the genepool...as long as the animal is not too "Large."

Audio Cables are quite an interesting topic. Their performance is based on the following: 1.) Physical build stress handling capability, ever wonder why cheap cables introduce noise when they are twisted and turned? Mainly because the fibers inside them are constantly coming in and out of contact which changes the inductive reactantance in them to make the cable suddenly shift its characteristics and introduce noise due to the change.

So, what happened the last days?
I resorted to trying to install gcc on the SINIX box from a binary package. Looks promising, at least pkgadd doesn't barf anymore after I upgraded cpio, but the disks are partitioned for both/ usr and /opt with 150 MB each. How great.
Switched ISPs to a flat rate one, was annoyed at pppd failing to authenticate with no sensible error message whatsoever.
Lots of band rehearsals, seems our situation will change somewhat in the next time.
Hung out all night in what happened to become my one of my favorite chat systems (don't ask...), got into a bitter argument with one of the ops who apparently thinks it is not only his right to misuse his privileges to harass other users but his duty. Too little sleep. Now I'm awfully grumpy and have all kinds of sentiments I'd rather not have. I guess its time for another attempt at cutting down sensless 'net usage and getting more sleep instead.

Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.

Gregory Tony's Boxing Matches and Injury From Yesterday

If you didn't know yet, Badr Hari's opponent for It's Showtime Lyon on May 14, Gregory Tony, fought in the PrizeFighter Heavyweight International Tournament yesterday. Tony won in the first round with a controversial split decision over Russian Evgeny Orlov. In the second round he faced rising prospect Mike Perez, who stopped Tony in the first round quite easily. Now on the first knockdown, Tony seemed to injure his left arm. Right as he started getting up he was moving his left arm around in a manner that would suggest it was injured while he landed on the canvas. No one has any idea if Tony is still going to fight Badr Hari. As of now we can only speculate.
Keep an eye out on Liverkick.com for news regarding Gregory Tony's injury.

Confidence in reason
So, this past Friday I told my freshman biology students (both sections) that I would give them an oral quiz over mitosis on Monday morning. I pointed out the figures in the text they would need and sent them on their way. This morning the first section (0800) acted as they hadn't heard of mitosis ever before in their WHOLE lives. During their chemistry class at 9:00 they complained among themselves about the mean Dr. Cone and how unfair it was to expect anyone to study during the weekend. The 1100 section was ready to answer my questions because they had been forewarned by the students in the 0800 section. The later section did a bit better but not much. You'd think by now these kids would get the fact that if I say I'm going to do something then I will do it. Silly me, I have confidence in reason. I have confidence in my students to think rationally, coherently and logically. From previous experience with me the students should know by now that I try my best to do what I say I will do. Either these students distrust the evidence of the past eight weeks of interactions with me or they completely lack critical reasoning skills. Many Christians are like my students in that they distrust logic, reason, and evidence. Why have we Christians become a stupid people?
Jesus wasn't stupid.
Jesus was a top-notch problem solver. He stated whatever problem was at hand very clearly for his audience. He discussed what kind of problem was at hand and concentrated His efforts on the problems He could solve at that time. He actively sought information, carefully analyzed the facts and interpreted the information coming to reasonable, logical conclusions. He then decided the best course of action given the limitations of the circumstance. He made a plan and followed through on that plan. Sometimes His plan was a wait-and-see and sometimes it was an outburst of pure righteous indignation. Read Jesus' teachings and actively look for His problem solving skills.
Jesus had confidence in reason. Do you?

I disagree.
Guys and gals. One thing this forum should be is a retriever training forum. That's the name of it!
One thing we should be able to discuss is training. A big part of today's training, especially for someone who is getting started is instructional materials.
If you want to help, feel free to help. If you disagree and have a point that you feel is valid, go ahead and share. If someone does not disagree, don't decide you were "skinned alive", or that you touched the "holy grail".
Popular instructional training programs are not a consipracy. Usually when something is popular, it is because folks gain value from it.
If you don't gain value from what's popular, and have other ideas, go for it.
Beaker, I'm in Central IL. If you want to talk live, feel free to call me in the evening.
217-454-0361. I will share my own experience and ideas. I have never trained a titled field trial dog. I have trained several dogs to be somewhat respectable and had learned a lot. I will share what I can.
That's why RTF is here...for us to share ideas and share value.

The reason for starting with "Here" has several aspects. I take advantage of our flexible modern e-collars and CC with pups as young as 4 months using very low levels of stimulus. You can run much more meaningful marks with a pup that isn't getting bogged down with distractions on the way home. Another reason is the simplest of commands; he always knows where you are, so it's easy to comply.
All other standard obedience commands are conditioned as they are formalized over the course of formal Basics. It's not a matter of conflict between programs, so much as my philosophy governing CC is just different. You'll see that when you read the book, and/or watch the videos.

I have started many puppies and have had great success with the Hillmann Puppy video. Regarding the sit - nick concern: Mr. Hillmann is "reinforcing" a command (sit) before the puppy makes a mistake. The reinforcement is the "nick". The only way the pup will learn is repeat - repeat - repeat.
Hope this helps.
One quick pointed question. Initially, does Lardy use continuous pressure that the dog turns off or does he start with nicks?
Also, please pm if you'd rather not post. I have gotten some good info there too.
Thanks to all.
According to his videos, he has it on continuous but only does a half second to one second nick. If I remembered correctly.

You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

I've heard of that happening mrhat. You could try returning it for another one if the retailer will do that (and if they have anymore). Another friend of mine who has one has a bright purple blade -so his works just fine.

These are part of my collection and are all; either solid Gold or Sterling Silver with no plated or rolled examples; with exception of the dip pen/mother-of-pearl letter opener in the third tray, and obviously the last photo contents which are the increasingly hard to find matched refills.

Meet Cathy Swick
Trine University - Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences
260.665.4583 | email
Living a healthy life and teaching others about the science of exercise keeps Catherine Swick energetic.
Sport Management & Exercise Science; B.S., M.Ed., Ph.D. – Bowling Green State University
My dedication to teaching includes more than 18 years of higher education experience. I foster innovation in the classroom and engage students through community service, case studies and technology so they will be competitive in the health and physical education profession.
I recently was honored by the State of Ohio for receiving "BG′s Best" for outstanding contributions in the field of higher education. I have presented at numerous state and national conferences and received external grants to promote physical activity and wellness across the lifespan.
I have developed and delivered new curriculum to meet needs in the sport management and exercise science fields. I have supervised numerous service–learning projects, internships and honors research in the health and physical education fields. I take pride in assisting students as they work to achieve their educational and career goals.
Outside the classroom, I try to lead healthy life and enjoy hiking, waterskiing, show skiing, gardening and reading. I love to ask people if they got their 10,000 steps today. If not, I have them ask me how to get started. It′ s no surprise, then, that my favorite quote is, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step," from La–Tse.

And so.... DCUC wave 6 turns up at a local "grocery convenience" store, and though they had one of everything out (including both versions of Superman and Dr. Impossible), I practiced a little self control and only picked up Hawkman.
All good things come to those that wait.
As it turns out, when I was at my local Fred Meyer the other day, it wasn't a fluke that they had DCUC wave 6 figures. I visited another store today, and saw a bunch more of them up high on the top shelf. Also, when I only had to pay $7.99 for a Killer Moth figure, it wasn't a fluke as they've got a sale going on.
Anyone in the area that's looking... might want to give Fred Meyer a try.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
That General Zod looks great! Its about time that he got his own figure!
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
I got DCUC Killer Moth for only $7 from an SDCC dealer so now I've completed Kalibak.
I also got the JLU GL set from Mattel's horribly designed SDCC queue. I think next year I'll just order from Matty.
Anybody see any new Legion of Superheroes stuff at SDCC?
Any news about upcoming 3 3/4 figures, or the future of the line?
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
I bought the latest JLU box sets today - the heroes set with Supergirl, Mr. Terrific, Hourman and the villains set with Gentleman Ghost, Psycho Pirate, Devil Ray, Tala, Dr. Polaris.
The Brave and the Bold Action League Bat-sub didn't look that bad but I was hoping someone else might take the plunge on it so I can know if it's worth it or not.
There are going to be more Infinite Heroes. Exactly what, I'll have to get back to you on as well.
Thanks Figrin. You were there at SDCC so you'd know.
The Infinite Heroes 3-packs have dropped in price at Target down to below $5 at clearance.
Been thinking about picking up a few of at least the JLA characters like the Hawkman pk., Superman with Supergirl, and Green Lantern etc. maybe the Lex Luthor pk.
I think DC would do ok with some LOSH 3 3/4 figures. Start with some Silver age then get into the later costumes.
I don't know how the general public would like them, but I certainly would.
You'd think though that with the animated series, and even some of them showing up in Smallville, they would at least do better than some of the obscurities we've been seeing. They are way out in left field with some of their picks, which I can understand a little with some of the 3-pks. but not the single figures.
Too bad DC doesn't tap into the fan base a little more to find out just what people want. I think they're sort of out of touch. I mean where do you go to even talk to someone at DC?

By NEMS Daily Journal
Tupelo's two leading private-sector backers of public education progress joined forces this week to assure that at least 20 exceptional teachers in the Tupelo Public School District receive $1,000 bonuses through the Teachers of Distinction program awards later this year.
CREATE Foundation, which has funded the program since 1999, will be joined by the Association for Excellence in Education's $10,000 commitment. The private-sector AEE previously had awarded $1,000 bonuses called Achieving Excellence in Education. AEE President Brent Waldrop said a decision was made to combine the awards because their goals are the same.
In addition to the licensed teachers' awards, a smaller number of assistant teachers will be recognized with $500 awards.
AEE and CREATE both have long and energetic records of support for stronger achievement in the public schools.
AEE, whose focus is only on the Tupelo schools, is supported by individual and corporate contributions. Its voluntary leadership almost always is drawn from the ranks of parents of students in the Tupelo schools.
The cash stipends enhance a highly visible venue for showcasing the achievement and professional excellence that led to each of the teachers' or assistants' nominations for the award.
The nomination process, it's important to note, is open. Nominations can be made online at www.createfoundation.com. Nomination forms also are available at all Tupelo schools.
AEE marks its 30th anniversary this year, with its annual meeting April 25 at Carver Elementary School. The organization has awarded more than $2.5 million for special academic projects in that span.
The tenacity and strength of AEE derives from its diverse membership, all of whom share a particular passion for success in the Tupelo Public School District.
Private-sector organizational support like AEE's continuing commitment and CREATE's strong institutional dedication to education provide an incentive and leading edge for public schools, extending beyond but linked to faculty, staff and administration.
Most measures of a school district's strength list community support at or near the top of assets. CREATE and AEE both embody the intentionality required to make good ideas into beneficial programs.

Reculver Country Park Visitor Centre
01227 740676
Reculver Lane,
Herne Bay,
Reculver Country Park and Towers is a unique place, combining undeveloped coast, historic buildings and wildlife interest. The refurbished Reculver Visitor Centre for Renewable Energy and Interpretation opened in 2009. Reculver Country Park is internationally important for wildlife as a Special Protection Area (SPA) and Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) because it is used each winter by thousands of migratory birds. Without this site to rest in, these species would decline.
The Reculver Towers are a landmark and Scheduled Ancient Monument that can be seen across the coastline from Herne Bay to Birchington in Kent. It is estimated that over 100,000 people visit the park every year, and Kent Wildlife Trust runs organised school trips for up to 3,500 students each year. The park is managed in partnership by Canterbury City Council, English Heritage and Kent Wildlife Trust. Canterbury City Council is proud to have gained a Green Flag Award since 2002, which recognises high standards in public open spaces. Reculver Country Park and Towers offers lovely walks from Bishopstone to the ruins of a late Norman Church. There is also an Information Centre which offers a fascinating insight into the history and wildlife of this stretch of coastline. Reculver Country Park and Towers is a renowned spot for watching migrating birds.
Reculver Country Park is ideal for educational visits, from infants to University, with beach studies a speciality. Bookings can be made throughout the year by contacting Kent Wildlife Trust on (01622) 662012. Reculver Visitor Centre has a focus on renewable energy and includes a log burner, which will be fuelled with logs from The Blean woodland throughout the winter months. The centre is also powered with photo voltaic panels (which convert sunlight to electricity) and solar panels (which use sunlight to heat water). The extension space has three large windows which frame views to Reculver Towers, cliff top grassland, and the wind turbines of the Kentish Flats wind farm, located 8.5km due north to the Reculver Visitor Centre. The centre is clad in sustainably sourced local chestnut, and features two large skylights which maximise natural light levels inside the building. The site also offers various cycle routes including the new Oyster Bay Trail to Herne Bay.
Reculver Country Park and Towers can only accept coaches during the week by prior arrangement as space is limited. Coaches are not permitted at weekends.
Paths are largely suitable for electric scooters. (Information courtesy of the Kent County Council website)

There are also car parks at Bishopstone Lane and Reculver Drive.
Bus Access: Stagecoach East Kent service 7 & 7a visit Reculver throughout the year.
By bike: National Cycle Route 15 passes through the site.

I have a trade for you
I have a Sage RPL+ 590 that I might be interested in trading you for the old rod and reel. Let me know.
TRADE or SELL
Hi Everyone,
It's been in my family cottage boat house for a long time time. I enjoy looking at it as it looks so cool. It's in good shape and had been fished maybe 5 time by me over the past ten years.
Engraved in the handle is Wright and McGill Denver, Colo. USA. It's about seven feet long and a natural woodish color.
The reel is an old pelueger medalist trade mark USA. The reel has the # 1495 on it.
I would rather trade for a newer fly rod (just the rod) but I'll entertain any trades. The rod and reel are in good looking and great working condition. The line goes too but I'm not sure what it is. I guess that's about it.
It looks great hanging on the wall but I'd trade it for a fly rod I'd use. Maybe someone can email me some info. or might want to trade?
Thanks, Ian

text: Let's face it people, classic cars are great, but the modern automobile has afforded our lazy selves with so many conveniences it's hard to imagine life without them. With the Thanksgiving holiday finally here, we begin to prepare ourselves for the impending inhalation of Turkey legs, candied yams, pumpkin pie, and the resulting mixture of shame and lethargy. But before we do all that, we figured we'd give thanks by looking at all the wonderful car tech that makes our morning commutes a little more bearable, our family road-trips a lot more tolerable, and our daily lives that much easier.

Hello. I Maybe wasn't clear.I want to attach 1 module to the pc, and one to the arduino. The problem is that the matching pins on the module don't line up with the arduino's spi pins, so i have to attach wires between the module, and the arduino, not just simply plug the module into the board.So i asked if there is a possibility to change the pins used by spi interface.
The module needs 3.3V

Specific released documents placed on the public record within the following closed MURs are cited following DISPOSITION heading. Release of these documents is consistent with the district court opinion in the December 19, 2001, decision of AFL-CIO v. FEC.

JV boys lose to Panthers
The Pequot Lakes junior varsity boys' basketball team lost to Park Rapids 50-46 on Tuesday, Jan. 29, after trailing 32-21 at the break.
The Patriots snapped a 9-9 tie early on Hunter Larson's 3-point basket. Pequot Lakes eventually led 14-13 on Jackson Goerges' 14-foot shot. The Panthers rallied to lead by 11 at the half, and stretched the advantage to 35-21 early in the second half. The Patriots then went on an 11-0 run behind 3-point shots by Goerges and Davich.
Pequot Lakes did enjoy a brief 43-42 lead with three minutes remaining after a layup by Jack Kreitz, and a driving layup and free throw by C.J. Borleis.
The next five points went to the Panthers, but Borleis answered with a 3-point shot to cut the deficit to 47-46 with 52 seconds left. But Park Rapids made three of four free throws to clinch the win.
"We dug ourselves a big hole in the first half when we missed too many shots," said Pequot Lakes coach Brian Lempola. "We made a nice comeback, but just fell short."
Borleis led the Patriots with 15 points, Davich added 10, Kreitz nine, Goerges five, Erik Elverum four and Larson three.
The Pequot Lakes freshmen snapped a 17-17 halftime tie by outscoring Park Rapids 35-23 in the second half for a 52-40 victory.
Cody Huss finished with 19 points, Gage Westlund had 13, Josh Buell 10, Connor Dale and Hunter Goerges each had five. Scott Peterson had 23 to lead the Panthers.
"We played our best as a team in the second half tonight," said Pequot Lakes freshmen coach Bret Sergent, whose big second half was sparked by Huss with 11 points.

Simulations in the Project Editor
I can currently create simulations in PEN. These simulations appear as simulation-# in my list of experiments. I would like to be able to create simulations in the Project Editor as well so that I can possibly input more information associated with each simulation such as drawings of the numerical model or plots of the analyses results.
