Where is this taking place?As in the actual location.
IMO this was a grey area, one of the photographers is a member here on the RTF and took some fabulous pictures, which were welcomed and had no intent on trying to profit from them
If this sport wants to survive this archaic thinking needs to be eliminated, as long as the pictures being taken are for personal use, or artistic interpretation I see no harm in promoting the sport and all its pageantry, after all its one of the two "majors" in the US FT world...I understand that the national clubs own the event and the images at that event, but seeing picture after picture of those in the gallery,many of who the general public does not know, does absolutely nothing for the sport...We want to see the real stars of the sport..the DOGS in action

Thread: Mysterious Pond water loss
Hybrid View
Mysterious Pond water loss
I have a backyard pond, with common goldfish. It is well maintained, with a small knee high fence around it, which is completely covered by a net canopy staked to the ground. It is currently winterized, with one small trickle fountain filter in the center, and a pond de-icer which was turned on as the nights here are now getting below 32 degrees. The de-icer is also staked to a deep submerged potted plant, so it will not run into the sides of the liner. The pond liner is a hard molded liner.
This is not a recent problem, but a mysterious one that makes no sense, its happened all summer, and now, even that it is winterized and covered with netting. Here's the problem.
Pond runs fine, for weeks, water level stays the same, no equipment leaks, and except for an occasional bucket of water to be added for evaporation, its fine. Three weeks will go by, and then suddenly we wake up, and 1/3 to half of the water is mysteriously gone. We check it, and there's nothing amiss, no equipment leaks, and the fountain is just on a trickle so there is no splash out from that. We refill it, and it holds water just fine, go a week, two weeks, water level is fine, then bam...... wake up, a massive amount of water is gone.
I have a hard time believing the molded liner is leaking, as it holds water, for quite some time, in all temperatures, then just suddenly, pouf!
Anyone have any ideas what's causing this? Has anyone had a similar problem? I'm at my wits end!2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.
Possible temperature shifts, water warming during the day and cooling during the night is causing a crack to to appear and let the water leak out into the ground? Really sounds like a leak in the liner to me, might have to empty the pond completely and check.
Does the amount of water that disappears always go down to the same level? That might indicate the level of the crack in the liner if there is one.
The other unlikely and more amusing answer would be, are there any animals like deer or something that are using the pond as a water source?:p
I'm not sure, as I said, temperature seems to make no difference. Did it in the summer, and doing it now, it makes no sense. temp will fluctuate, and water level stays fine, then just, out of no where, boom, half the pond water is gone. It does tend to drain to the same level every time. I did order a flexible pond liner to line this with, just to be on the safe side.
I'm just at a loss as to where its going, and what kind of leak has a temperament like this!2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.
Maybe drain the pond down a bit further than the level it usually drains itself to, and take a look at the lining at that level. At a loss of what else to suggest. Let us know if you discover what is happening, would be interested to find out.
I am just guessing.
Any plumbing that is running outside of the pond. Temperature could cause seals to move letting air in and or water out as materials expand and contract with temperature. Or other force (gravity) over time that is a result of the weight of the water/plumbing. Although I would expect you to see that leaked water in some form by walking around the pond with soaking wet ground.
In terms of temperament. Temperature contraction is one possibility but one thing that occurs to me is if the leak is occasionally stopped by the pressure of an air bubble and that pressure is changed but soil / ground / material movement due to pressure / temperature change.
What is under the pond liner, how well does that soil / support drain? Is the soil wetter around the pond than the rest of the garden perhaps?
Otherwise the question is who or what is living in your pond and where are they going?Mucky
Unusually I have nothing more to add...
I think the liner has a hole in it or more likely a small tear or split.
The water leaks out until it saturates the ground at which point the ground swells against the liner and temporarily reseals the liner. Sooner or later it will just leak down all of the time.
You have wild elephants roaming in your area.

It's the beginning of a new month, and that's a good thing in America's schools, because life seems to get worse there as a month goes by. Students get in more trouble toward the end of the month than at the beginning.
New research suggests that's especially true for students from families on food stamps, perhaps because life at home gets more stressful as benefits run out. Modifying the food-stamp program so that benefits are paid out twice, rather than once, a month could help eliminate these cycles.
As Sir Thomas More noted in the 16th century, money has a tendency to burn a hole in one's pocket. Social Security beneficiaries illustrate this truth; they splurge a little when they receive their monthly checks. And among households in general, spending tends to decline between paydays.
The behavior may extend to benefits under the food-stamp program, now formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. In 2011, almost one in seven Americans received support from SNAP. About half of the roughly 45 million beneficiaries are children.
The average monthly benefit for a family of four is about $500, and the funds can be used only for buying food. Gone are the old paper food stamps, which often stigmatized shoppers at the checkout register. SNAP benefits now come in the form of an electronic card that looks and operates like a debit card.

By From School Reports
SENATOBIA – Northwest Mississippi Community College head football coach Ricky Woods is stepping down after five successful seasons.
Woods told the players he was leaving during a team meeting on Wednesday afternoon.
The Rangers went 8-2 this season, reached the MACJC state playoffs and won the school's first bowl game in 20 years. When the final NJCAA poll was released on Monday, Northwest closed at No. 9, marking a second Top 10 finish in three seasons.
"I've enjoyed my time here at Northwest, especially with the coaching staff and young men," Woods said. "I've got two young grandkids I'd like to spend a little more time with. I'm not closing any doors for future coaching opportunities, but I just need a little time off."
Woods, a former South Panola head coach, went 35-13 as head coach and finished 24-6 in division play with two North Division titles and two runner-up finishes. He was named the 2010 MACJC Coach of the Year after leading Northwest to an undefeated regular season and the Rangers' first Top 10 finish since 1999.
His 35 wins and .729 win percentage each rank second all-time behind Hall of Fame coach Bobby Franklin.
'national spotlight'
"Coach Woods brought Northwest back into the national spotlight and constantly put a winning team on the field," president Dr. Gary Lee Spears said.
Northwest had six victories against ranked opponents during Woods' tenure.
A total of 37 of Woods' former players have gone on to play at four-year schools, including most recently Donald Hawkins (Texas), Lance Ray (East Carolina), Jamal Mosley (Ole Miss) and Myles White (Louisiana Tech). Seven players were named NJCAA All-Americans.

Simple Autumn Pleasures

Holiday Stuffing Recipes
Thanksgiving for Less
Enjoy a Guilt-Free Holiday Season
The weather is changing here in the Pacific Northwest. Summer is finally over. There's a definite chill in the air many days. Now we can look forward to some of those fun activities that only happen in the autumn: Collecting leaves and pine cones for wreaths and other decorations; heading out to the local pumpkin patch; baking fresh apple and pumpkin pies; brewing hot spiced apple cider (I can smell it simmering just thinking about it).
Later this month, the United States celebrates Thanksgiving Day. One of our family traditions for this particular holiday is making a Thanksgiving Tree. We make a tree trunk with bare branches out of black craft paper and tape the "tree" to the dining room wall. Then we cut out individual autumn-colored leaves (red, orange, yellow, brown) from more craft paper. As someone in the family thinks of something or someone that they're thankful for, they write the item or person's name onto one of the leaves and then tape the leaf to the tree branches.
We try to put the Thanksgiving Tree in place by mid-November so our family has at least a full week to add more leaves to the tree. By Thanksgiving Day, the tree is FULL with the names of people, events and things we're thankful for. This is great fun for the kids and a meaningful addition to our family's holiday traditions.
My recipe for hot spiced cider is one of those throw-it-together-as-you-go recipes, but I'll try to explain the process as best I can. First, I take a large jug of apple cider (a gallon if we're entertaining). Then I pour the cider into a large pot on the stove (or into the crockpot if I don't want to use a burner). Heat to a simmer. Then add the following ingredients to the cider:
- about one cup of frozen orange juice concentrate (this ingredient is a MUST)
- approximately two teaspoons (more or less) of EACH of the following: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, Cloves (whole or ground)
- and sometimes I add about one cup (or less) of cranberry juice cocktail
Let it all simmer for awhile (half an hour at least). The smell wafting through the house while the cider is simmering is simply heaven. Mmmmm ... Serve the hot spiced cider in mugs. For a nice touch, add a whole cinnamon stick to each mug. Having a large pot of cider simmering on the stove when company arrives is a sure way to make them very happy that they chose to come over to your house.
Autumn Craft Ideas
Leaf Prints: Make your own cards or gift wrap by using nature's bounty of freshly fallen leaves. Use poster paint for printing on paper (for cards, gift wrap, etc.), or use acrylic paint if you decide to decorate an item that needs a waterproof finish (glassware, clay pots, etc.). Brush a small amount of paint onto the underside of the leaf where the veins are more pronounced. Carefully place the leaf where you want the design printed and cover with a layer of paper towel. Gently roll a rolling pin over the top (or you can use the side of an empty bottle). Remove the paper towel and lift the leaf.
Wheat Weaving: Soak wheat on the stalk (from craft stores or local farmers) in a tub of water for an hour or so. Holding three seed heads together, braid the stems of the wheat stalks. Curve the ends around to make an oval loop, a circle wreath, or even bend it a bit to make a heart shape. Tie with brightly colored ribbon. As the stalks dry, they'll hold their shape. Add to your autumn decorations.
Baked Pumpkin Seeds: After all the pumpkin carving or pie making, don't throw out the seeds. Separate the seeds from the stringy pulp (don't rinse or remove every last bit of the pulp -- the pulp adds flavor). Place the seeds on a cookie sheet, stir in about 1/4 cup of melted butter or margarine, sprinkle with a small amount of salt and then bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Enjoy!
Simple Decorating Tips
Christmas lights aren't just for the December holidays. I frequently use the strings of tiny white lights around my front door interspersed with autumn leaves, pumpkins, gourds and other autumnal decorations. Rather than giving the house a "spooky" look, the tiny white lights brighten up the decor and make the front door into a welcoming entryway.
To line a festive walkway, make luminarias out of pumpkins or carved gourds. After cleaning out the interior of a pumpkin, you can use drill bits of different sizes to make dots and circles, arranging them in festive designs all over the pumpkins (abstract patterns, bunches of grapes, faces, etc.).
Rather than using candles to light your carved pumpkins or luminarias, thread white Christmas lights into holes carved or drilled into the back of the pumpkins. Consider using carved pumpkins or gourds as autumn centerpieces on your holiday table.

14.13: Expansion of the Universe
Why does a siren change pitch as it passes you?
The sound of a siren on an emergency vehicle changes as it passes you. It shifts from higher to lower pitch. As the vehicle moves toward you, the sound waves are pushed together. As the vehicle moves past you, the waves are spread apart. This effect with light tells astronomers something about our universe.
The Universe is Expanding
After discovering that there are galaxies outside our own, Edwin Hubble went on to measure the distance to hundreds of other galaxies. His data would eventually show us how the universe is changing, and even give us clues as to how the universe formed.
If you look at a star through a prism, you will see a spectrum. The spectrum is the range of colors seen in a rainbow. The spectrum has specific dark bands where elements in the star have absorbed light of certain energies. An astronomer can use these lines to determine which elements are in a distant star. In fact, the element helium was first discovered in our Sun, not on Earth. This was done by analyzing the absorption lines in the spectrum of the Sun.
Astronomers studied the spectra of light from distant galaxies. When they did this they noticed something strange. The dark lines in the spectrum were in the patterns they expected. But they were shifted toward the red end of the spectrum, as shown in Figure below. This shift of absorption bands toward the red end of the spectrum is known as redshift.
Redshift is a shift in absorption bands toward the red end of the spectrum. Redshift occurs when the light source is moving away from you or when the space between you and the source is stretched.
Redshift occurs when the source of light is moving away from the observer. So when astronomers see redshift in the light from a galaxy, they know that the galaxy is moving away from Earth. The strange part is that almost every galaxy in the universe has a redshift. Of course, this means that almost every galaxy is moving away from us.
The Expanding Universe
Edwin Hubble combined his measurements of the distances to galaxies with other astronomers' measurements of redshift. He noticed a relationship, which is now called Hubble's Law: The farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us. In other words, the universe is expanding!
Figure below shows a simplified diagram of the expansion of the universe. Another way to picture this is to imagine a balloon covered with tiny dots. Each dot represents a galaxy. When you inflate the balloon, the dots slowly move away from each other because the rubber stretches in the space between them. If it were a giant balloon and you were standing on one of the dots, you would see the other dots moving away from you. Not only that, but dots farther away from you on the balloon would move away faster than dots nearby.
Expansion of the universe diagram
This is a simplified diagram of the expansion of the universe over time. Note that the distance between galaxies gets bigger as you go forward in time, but the size of each galaxy stays about the same.
An inflating balloon is not exactly like the expanding universe. The surface of a balloon has only two dimensions, while space has three dimensions. But it is true that space itself is stretching out between galaxies like the rubber stretches when a balloon is inflated. This stretching of space, which causes the distance between galaxies to increase, is what astronomers mean by the expansion of the universe.
One other difference between the universe and our balloon model involves the actual size of the galaxies. On the inflating balloon, the dots you made will become larger in size as you inflate it. In our universe, however, the galaxies stay the same size; it is just the space between the galaxies that increases as the universe expands.
An animation of an expanding universe is shown here: http://www.astro.ubc.ca/~scharein/a311/Sim/bang/BigBang.html.
- redshift: Shift of wavelengths of light towards the red end of the spectrum; happens as a light source moves away from us.
- spectrum: The colors of light that are visible in a continuum.
- Almost every galaxy is moving away from us.
- The spectrum from stars is shifted toward the red; this is known as red-shift. Red-shift of galaxies is evidence that the universe is expanding.
- Hubble's Law states that the farther away a galaxy is, the faster it is moving away from us.

Well, to continue things with my life story a little. Some more milestones:
I graduated college with my bachelor's degrees in economics, and political science. I minored in philosophy and concentrated on organizing ethics for logical consistency, pretty much useful for a post-graduate education involving the acquisition of my jurisdoctorate degree (but I did not become a lawyer or complete the degree as of yet).
But my education explains my hyper-need to stand against hypocrisy and the analyzing of everyone's motives and positions on just about anything, any time. It fits my personality. This also fits with my "False-this-or-that theories" and I place a higher value on rooting out the truths that no one wants to look at, over being politically correct or indulging in other's fantasies that they just be accepted at their word, for their spoken position, etc. I guess I'm that way because I'm angry that I'm not accepted (as a 30-something Star Wars fan who buys toys for 4-year-olds) and I don't like being part of this "denial club" where everyone wants to pretend they're "normal." Another truth is that no one's normal. There are just folks who are more dull than others. I'd say SW fans are more exciting and have "a life," but it is just different from others. Unfortunately, there are heroic oddities (like pro-atheletes) and ones that society brands shameful - like SW collectors. Steve Sansweet was never worshipped like Tom Brady. But we can admire Sansweet because we share an interest with him, yet it's stupid to pretend that he's going to ever be accepted as normal and celebrated like Brady. Our culture / society sucks. I'm not going to live in denial about that, but I'm not ready to "go Columbine" over it either. (Yet anyway)
I had some balance though. I trained for my black belt in martial arts and would still be doing that if not for my health concerns. But I practice what I learned.
I competed in amateur watercraft racing (riding SeaDoos) and won a couple of competitions.
I recently finished an entire 500 plus page novel and am pursuing a major publishing contract.
On the other hand, my father died as I was just getting out of high school, and I lost my mother the other year. An only child** I was the sole beneficiary of their estates. Financially, I'm doing alright because of this, however, my father died from the other inheritence I got from him: polycistic kidney disease. It's the inability for the body to break up proteins and get rid of their waste from the bloodstream.
It usually doesn't grab hold of you until adolescence or later, as my kidneys functioned at 100% until I was probably 13 or 14.
Now I face losing my ability to walk, as toxins in my blood corrode my nerves and muscles. It is probably forcing me into dialysis 3 times a week. I find out next month. That will be preferable to being forced into a wheelchair though.
A very brave and generous individual from this website may actually save me though, via his kidney donation, if everything works out. Everyone has 2 kidneys, but you can live with one. The San Diego Padres All-Star Relief Pitcher Trevor Hoffman has only 1 kidney (a birth defect actually), and he is a big time athlete. So having played baseball for 10 years myself, I plan on getting my transplant and then making the major league (actually, I'd just like to go a week with holding all my food down)
Anyway, with my kidneys not working right, my blood got thicker and the higher viscosity caused pressure to build up and resulted in the aneurysm that broke in my brain in the summer of 2005. Many of you recall my close brush with death. This condition is fatal 90% of the time - and it may happen to me again. I'd say becoming able to walk again, then drive, was a milestone, too. It took months to recover. Now I'm pretty good, but I can feel myself starting to decline again and my latest medical report was pretty bad as I only have 8% of my kidney function remaining (between both of them).
Without dialysis anyway, I will be either unable to walk or dead by the end of the summer. If I get my transplant in July or August, that may be averted. Dialysis might make me more comfortable during the short term.
To wrap it up, I have no family, and I've become so bitter so as to drive away many of my friends, I may not be worth saving and it might be time to end this.
If I live through it all, I know one goal is to obtain a large house to display all my Star Wars collection in like Rancho Obi-Wan (but diorama style). I also want JediMasterSal to come visit me and help me set some of it up!
I want to be published and continue to write, and see my novels made into movies. Perhaps with time, my anger will subside and I'll behave differently from the bitter person I've become?
I've been around SSG since almost its beginning and I've changed a lot. But I think everyone can change again and again.

Thanks Dewey that helps.
So it looks like the unlimited tags start May 7th and run a 5-day, 5-day then 2 7-day seasons, and the tag is $96 for a non-res.
Whats up with the small unit 502 included in unit 501? Is that a big public area?
BTW I called MN DNR and asked about buying another tag if I didn't fill my original tag and the guy said I could NOT do that, just 1 tag per hunter per spring. But then the office types don't always know what they are talking about, especially on new regs and early before the season. He did say I could purchase a tag whenever and it would be good right away, even if I purchased a tag during the season I was hunting.

CA-125 is a protein that is found more in ovarian cancer cells than in other cells. The protein enters the blood stream and can be easily measured.
This article discusses the blood test done to measure CA-125. The test is used to follow someone during and after ovarian cancer treatment.
A blood sample is needed.
No preparation is necessary.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
The test is often used to monitor women who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The test is useful if the CA-125 level was high when the cancer was first diagnosed. In these cases, the CA-125 test is a very good tool to determine if ovarian cancer treatment is working.
After surgery and chemotherapy, patients should have the test every 2 - 4 months for the first 2 years. This is followed by every 6 months for 3 years, and then yearly.
The CA-125 test may also be done if a woman has symptoms or findings on ultrasound that suggest ovarian cancer.
In general, the CA-125 is not a good test to screen healthy women for ovarian cancer when a diagnosis has not yet been made.
The normal value for a CA-125 depend on the lab running the test. In general, a level above 35 U/mL are considered abnormal.
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
In a woman with known ovarian cancer, a rise in CA-125 usually means that the disease has progressed or recurred. A decrease in CA-125 usually means the disease is responding to treatment.
In a woman who has not already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, an elevated CA-125 can mean a number of things. While it can indicate that she has ovarian cancer, it can also indicate other types of cancer, as well as several benign diseases such as endometriosis.
When used in healthy women, an elevated CA-125 usually does not mean ovarian cancer is present. The vast majority of healthy women with an elevated CA-125 do not have ovarian cancer (or any other cancer for that matter).
Any woman with an abnormal CA-125 test will need further tests, and sometimes invasive surgical procedures, to confirm the result. These additional tests all involve risks and anxiety.
Therefore, the CA-125 should not be considered an effective general screening test for ovarian cancer. Studies are underway to determine whether it might be effective when combined with other blood tests or radiologic studies.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

A La Crosse breast cancer doctor shares her own survivor story.
LA CROSSE, Wis. - As a Medical Oncologist at Gundersen Lutheran in La Crosse, Dr. Leah Dietrich has become a 'go to' person for people diagnosed with breast cancer. "When I see patients, usually they've had the diagnosis and they are still really adjusting to it. Depending on the stage and the type, there is generally a lot of decisions that have to be made regarding medical treatments, chemo, surgery."
And over the past 12 years, she's seen it all. "From the earliest cancer to unfortunately cancer that is very advanced by the time the patient comes in."
But a diagnosis that came in 2011 caught her completely off guard because the diagnosis - was her own.
She new the statistics, new the odds. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. "If you think about people you know, sister, daughter, mother, co-worker, Someone you know is going to be affected by it in a lifetime. But you never really think it's going to happen to you."
But when she felt a small lump in her own breast her professional instincts kicked in. "I played doctor and said, 'what would I tell my patients? Watch it. I was fairly young." But the lump didn't go away.
"I came to the realization, what am I doing? I need to go get this checked out. And so I did. We did the biopsy and as soon as the doctor did it he said, I have to tell you, I think this is going to be cancer. You just feel like the bottom drops out. No. No. This can't be happening."16519380
She chose an aggressive treatment - surgery followed by six rounds of chemotherapy. "At some point `during my chemotherapy, my 10-year-old asked me, 'Mom, are you going to die?' I was like, 'no. We're doing everything we can and it's not my time. I think if I had ignored this - unfortunately the story could have been different."
And that's the message, the lesson, a now cancer free Leah Dietrich hopes women will learn from her story. "Pay attention to your body and any changes that you notice. Doing self breast exams once a month is really important. It can happen to anyone. No one thinks it's going to happen to them."
Today the outward signs of cancer are nearly gone. Her hair is growing back, her strength returned. But like anyone who's gone to war, she's a changed person - a changed doctor - because of the battle. "I feel like I can relate to my patients with a personal experience. I hoped that I was an empathetic doctor before, but it really helps when you can look a patient in the eye and know what you're going through. And we're going to get through this."
This weekend, Doctor Dietrich will be Steppin' out in pink just like she has every year since the walk began. But now she has two unique perspectives. "I've actually done some of the research that is supported by this walk and it means so much to us that the community support is there. It has turned in to more than just a walk. It is a community event. People are there to support people they know to raise and to prevent people from going through it."
You can still sign up to be a part of this very inspirational day. Event organizers welcome 'day of' registration. The cost to do that is 25-dollars. You can find out more by visiting them online at gundluth.org/steppinout.

Overdosed on adrenaline by playing twitchy video games with Jamie and the SubG all afternoon. The new maps in Rouge Spear: Urban Operations are pretty cool.
It was too pretty outside to get very excited about hacking, and as a consequence very little got accomplished.
Fixed (hopefully) rearnshaw's ARM problems; fixed kenner's stupid extract_muldiv bug; looked at franz' PPC bootstrap problem long enough to see that it is ugly.
Ok, that's three in a row. I hate solicitors. I hate being called by them. I don't get as much joy as I ought by telling them to fuck off and die. They should all be rounded up and shot. I need procmail for my phone.
And now I plan on unplugging the phone and curling up with sugar and a trashy novel.
Reverted the functional changes from this weekend's flow merging. I've got to get a better handle on the illogic at work here.
Got a couple hours worth of code review in this evening, so at least I can lay claim to some forward progress today.
Binutils work all day. Blah. Who'd have believed folks would be building 96MB shared libraries?
Anyway, patch delivered.
Spent more time than I'd like to think about on the ppc cross-host thing this morning, but eventually reproduced the problem from an x86 cross. Nothing but irritation from start to finish. No fix yet, though it appears to be a latent bug in combine.
Earnshaw reported a different bug from Friday's flow changes that affect ARM; some mem sharing ugliness exposed by more aggressive postinc opts. Odd, there shouldn't have been more postinc opts.
Beer was most definitely called for. I could have done without the Sharks losing; that sorta put a wet towel on the atmosphere at the bar.
It hasn't been my weekend.
Took a break from the conditional execution code to implement the IEEE unordered comparison operators for ia32. While I was at it, I rearranged things such that all fp branches are kept as a compare and branch unit during early compilation. This under the theory that optimizations that want to adjust the comparison will not have to give up in the face of a sequence of mask and compare operations. The code works for small tests such as fp-cmp-4.c in the testsuite, but since normal fp comparisons are affected by the change, I'm running Plum Hall et al before checking anything in.
GeoffK's tinderbox runs turned up some ppc failures with yesterday's flow.c changes. The simple fix turned up different regressions. Much time was wasted trying to set up an ppc cross-host environment on my alphas. Not sure what the problem is, exactly, except that it isn't the same error tinderbox reported -- probably some 64-bit forgetfulness in the md. I should just give that up and track down the problem on Geoff's machine... Sigh.

We have started several threads over the years on this site about the best Star Wars books. But what, in your humble opinion, is the best book so far?
I'd have to go with Tales of the Mos Eisley Cantina, but the Illustrated SW Universe is close behind. So, following my own rules, TOTMEC gets the nod.

David Isenberg – The PMSC Observer & Huffington Post
Author, Shadow Force: Private Security Contractors in Iraq (Praeger Security International)
Of all the things said and written about private military and security contractors working for the U.S. government in various war zones one of the least discussed is the sacrifices they make. And like regular military forces they also pay the ultimate sacrifice, as in dying. Unlike regular military personnel their deaths rarely get any notice, aside from a company press release and a few paragraphs in the hometown newspaper. (click HERE for Fallen Contractors Memorial at American Contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan)
Their sacrifices are so unrecognized that if Washington, D.C. were to build yet another war memorial on the mall The Tomb of the Unknown Contractor would have to be considered a viable candidate for selection. To paraphrase the old saw about regular military forces, one might say in regard to recognition of contractors wounded and killed, "nothing is too good for our contractors so that's what we'll give them. Nothing."
Admittedly there is slightly better recognition of the wounded and dead contractors than when the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and Iraq but that is not saying a whole lot. There simply has not been much detailed analysis of this subject. That is why a recent paper strongly deserved attention. It is Dead Contractors: The Un-Examined Effect of Surrogates on the Public's Casualty Sensitivity by Prof. Steven L. Schooner and student Collin D. Swan, both of the George Washington University Law School, was recently published in the Journal of National Security Law & Policy.
In the paper they examine the "casualty sensitivity" effect. Economists define this as an inverse relationship exists between the number of military deaths and public support. Currently, most studies suggest that "majorities of the public have historically considered the potential and actual casualties in U.S. wars and military operations to be an important factor in their support."

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Moonlight Musings
It was one of those mornings. The moonlight illuminated every corner of the night, and you couldn't have fit another star in the sky. Flags drooped on their poles, and the mercury had dipped just enough to let you know it was spring in Wisconsin.
I was hunting a turkey-rich farm for the first time and couldn't wait to start. I'd only scouted the place once or twice, so I was essentially going in blind. Still, I knew the farm's timbered ridges were filthy with gobblers, and a buddy had assured me I'd have plenty of close encounters.
After traipsing up a field road, I stopped at a small ridge near a grove of planted pines to listen. If nothing else, I wanted to make sure I didn't spook birds. Even if I didn't get tight with them at flydown, I could move on them later.
Within minutes, a booming gobble shattered the morning stillness. I walked a couple of steps farther up the field road and listened for the next gobble to pinpoint the bird. The gobbler hammered again, and I quickly realized he was right where my friend had said turkeys roosted in autumn: in a cluster of big oaks about halfway up the opposite side of a large draw.
Because the gobbler was on a fairly steep incline, I expected him to fly down to the "short side" of the terrain -- the nearby northern ridge. Trouble was, I was on the southern side of the draw. I could reach the northern ridge in five minutes if I slipped up the field road. However, that would also take me right past the open bottom of the draw and within 100 steps of the longbeard. Because of the bright moonlight and still conditions, that was risky.
My only other choice was to crest the southern ridge, slip into a good set-up area and hope for the best. I didn't like that option. When a loud-mouthed hen joined in with gobbler across the draw, I liked it even less.
But with fly-down time approaching, I needed to quickly formulate and execute a plan.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

People sure like making puns on Jeremy Lin's name, don't they? From the time he began his winning (or should I say "linning"?) streak until now, fans and newspaper editors alike have been going absolutely nuts on that single, humble syllable. It certainly got our attention and led to us naming him one of the 25 Crushable Guys Under 25┬Āin 2012.
Here are some of the best puns, headlines, and punny headlines to come out of this whole "Linsanity" craze. "Linsanity" being one of them, of course.

Did the idea for the first dam come from beavers?
Beavers have been building dams for a long time, for food, for a home, and for protection from predators. They probably haven't realized that they can use a dam for hydroelectric power, although are we sure there aren't little TVs in those lodges?
Water Power
Water covers 70% of the planet's surface, and water power (hydroelectric power) is the most widely used form of renewable energy in the world. Hydroelectric power from streams provides almost one fifth of the world's electricity.
Hydroelectric Power
Remember that potential energy is the energy of an object waiting to fall. Water held behind a dam has a lot of potential energy.
In a hydroelectric plant, a dam across a riverbed holds a stream to create a reservoir. Instead of flowing down its normal channel, the water is allowed to flow into a large turbine. As the water moves, it has kinetic energy, which makes the turbine spin. The turbine is connected to a generator, which makes electricity (Figure below).
A cross-section of a hydroelectric plant.
Most of the streams in the United States and elsewhere in the developed world that are suitable for hydroelectric power have already been dammed. In California, about 14.5% of the total electricity comes from hydropower. The state's nearly 400 hydropower plants are mostly located in the eastern mountain ranges, where large streams descend down a steep grade.
Consequences of Water Power Use
The major benefit of hydropower is that it generates power without releasing any pollution. Hydropower is also a renewable resource since the stream will keep on flowing. However, there are a limited number of suitable dam sites. Hydropower also has environmental problems. When a large dam disrupts a river's flow, it changes the ecosystem upstream. As the land is flooded by rising water, plants and animals are displaced or killed. Many beautiful landscapes, villages, and archeological sites have been drowned by the water in a reservoir (Figure below).
Glen Canyon Dam in Arizona created Lake Powell. The dam was controversial because it flooded Glen Canyon, a beautiful desert canyon.
The dam and turbines also change the downstream environment for fish and other living things. Dams slow the release of silt so that downstream deltas retreat and seaside cities become dangerously exposed to storms and rising sea levels.
Ocean Water Power
The energy of waves and tides can be used to produce water power. Tidal power stations may need to close off a narrow bay or estuary. Wave power applications have to be able to withstand coastal storms and the corrosion of seawater. Because of the many problems with them, tide and wave power plants are not very common.
Although not yet widely used, many believe tidal power has more potential than wind or solar power for meeting alternative energy needs. Quest radio looks at plans for harnessing power from the sea by San Francisco and along the northern California coast.
- Hydroelectric power is clean and is important in many regions of the world.
- Hydropower has downsides like the changes dams make to a river's ecosystem.

You'll need both hands for our man-size triple-meat ciabatta roll sandwiches made with sausage, chicken and bacon.
For a spicier sauce, keep in some of the jalapeño seeds.
The salt, pepper and flour more easily stick to the chicken if the chicken has first been patted dry with paper towel.
Before placing the chicken in the hot oil, sprinkle a few bread crumbs into the oil. If the crumbs immediately start to bubble and fry, the oil is ready.
To save some time, purchase precooked bacon and/or chicken fingers.

Celebrity smiles with Philips Sonicare DiamondClean (plus giveaway!)
So we're two months in to using the DiamondClean. You'll recall I discussed it here after helping with their product launch back in May. Works like new still, and there's still that smoothness when I run my tongue across my teeth after brushing. And Jacek is always going on about how his teeth are whiter since starting. He's a coffee drinker. And he's right. Now, ugh, if we could work on his other hygiene issues. This is a conversation for another time.
We talk all the time about celebrity appearance - the hair (extensions), the skin, the implants, the gym - and all the resources at their disposal to look the way they do. But we rarely talk about teeth. Oh but they work on their teeth too. I remember when Britney Spears first broke they talked about her teeth all the time -- how white and perfect they were, to go along with her (then) image.
I hosted a launch for Sonicare a few months ago and had the opportunity to talk to Dr. Uche Odiatu about teeth, specifically the symbolism of teeth, a fascinating too-seldom discussed area in celebrity grooming that I've now become fixated on. People commonly go to the dentist and ask to have their teeth filed down so they are all even because they think it looks better (and hopefully younger). But actually, did you know that even teeth actually make you look older? It's because old people have had a lifetime to grind their teeth down to uniform size.
Take, for example, Kristen Stewart, which was the example that Dr. Odiatu actually cited. She's got two big teeth right up front, top row. That's a sign of youth. We are conditioned to look at those teeth and recognise youth in them. It's something else to look for now in celebrities, in addition to whether or not their noses look different or their eyes look tighter. What are they doing with their teeth?
Here's a little bit about the brush:
• Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Removes up to 5x more plaque than a manual toothbrush
• The DiamondClean delivers instant results that users will really notice. It is clinically proven to improve gum health in just two weeks and proven to whiten teeth in just one week
• It comes with five brush modes - Clean, Polish, Gum Care, White, and Sensitive - that give users a brushing experience tailored to their purpose and a whole mouth clean feeling that really lasts
• Comes in a recharging case complete with USB port. And when you're at home, you simply put but the brush, handle down, in the recharging glass and it recharges as it rests using "inductive charging technology"
The DiamondClean is on store shelves across Canada at Bed, Bath & Beyond, Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs, Centre du Rasoir and Personal Edge, and retails for $229.99. But we're giving one away for free to one lucky winner.
If you'd like a shot at winning the DiamondClean, email [email protected] with DiamondClean as the title before EOD Wednesday, September 26th, 2012. One DiamondClean is available to be won. Standard contest rules apply. Good luck!

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Another "it depends" situation. On my home waters, the Bow river, if a fish is put down from feeding, it could take an hour or more before it gets back to feeding. On another river in Montana, a fish that has been put down often comes back to the feeding station/behavior in about 10 minutes. The solution is to put lots of time in on a piece of water and figure out the fish in there. Once you have figured out fish behavior, keep it a secret because it is probably worth several millions in a book deal or something.
MMM... good question. My experiance is..... it depends. I have already hooked a trout and broke it off returned to the same spot 45 min later caught the same fish and got my lost fly. Then again I've turned trout and they seem gun shy for the rest of the day. My best advise is to help your dad to wade a little quieter
think of it as hunting and your stalking the trout. One of the great aspects of troutfishing with a fly rod is it forces you to slow down and be observant.
I usally figure if I missed a trout or spooked it he got the best of me that day.
There is usually plenty of other water to cover.
how long for trout to start feeding?
Even though i´m probably hogging the "getting started" forum, my ignorance in fly fishing needs all the support it can get...
My question is the following: the other day i went fishing with my dad. i let him fish upstream ahead of me to give him a better chance, ´cause he hasn´t gone fishing very much. The thing is that he was a "bull in a china store", trashing around the water and scaring everything, sending all the scared trout right at me. Even though i guess there isn´t a general rule about it, ¿but about how long does it take for scared trout to start feeding again?¿seconds, minutes,hours?
thank you all

I'd love to see the full spec of those machines.
You do realize there are more ways to get to London from Frankfurt? The ICE to Paris and then the tunnel would have probably worked. How long would you have been prepared to wait because you want to fly rather than use some other mechanism?
I very much agree with you that flash should have died a long time ago, but how do you propose to transition ?
Video is not the only thing that flash does well, chat clients and such are also exclusively written in
flash if they have anywhere near decent performance.
physical access > digital security
Have you ever tried lighting up a commercial grade solar panel with a 10W lightbulb ?
How much power did it produce ?
please hand in your low uid.
it's fairly obvious from your remark that you've never been to Hungary.
so, how do you manage to upgrade a hard disk without a re-install ?
and all those 'software simulators' are executed by hardware...
In the end, it doens't matter how many virtualization layers you've got you are programming to tell the *hardware* what to do

I will give you a picture of the dog, her abilities, and the current issue that has come about. I will provide my take from some figuring and look forward to hearing yours.
Dog Info: 18 months old, black female, out of some really nice dogs that fell in love and made babies. She is steady, rock steady, easily corrected, all vocal corrections. Shes quick, not force fetched, but holds nicely and delivers to hand. She is doing simple doubles, marks well. Just a nice dog, a really nice dog. I got her last month.
Problem: Dog will no go when at the waters edge. If you have 10 or more yards between you and the water, the dog will haul bawls, hit the water like a ton of bricks, retrieve the bird no matter the distance, each and every time, hands down. No hesitations. Until.....
So Friday to prep for the HRC test on Saturday, we go to a pond, stand at waters edge, I throw a duck in at about 20 yards, she doesn't budge, she moves forward appears to be rationalizing it in hear head and doesn't go, after some pleading and some physical positioning, she is now in the water. This happens four times in a row. I throw my hands up. I think, okay, its a new pond, never been here, its cold, but no colder than it was two weeks ago at the lake. There were cars driving by, should be a non-factor. The body of water wasn't as big as she is use to......
So I run a couple of errands and decide to the lake, but a spot shes never been before, I bring a chocolate dog with me to help encourage her if need be. I walk up to the waters edge with her at heel, throw the bumper in, no go. I get my other pup and they both are in the water. I throw it 100 times and they are both getting in with no problems, black girl is back to normal.
Saturday, go to the test, land was perfect, get to water (after having swam her in a different hole between tests) she is at heel next to the water, dog BIG TIME NO GOES. I pick her up and head home.
Sunday, while doing some thinking, I load her and the chocolate dog up, I go to a completely new pond. I unload my black girl, I am not standing at the waters edge, I am 15 yards off, throw a bumper in the water, scorched earth on the way to the water, she's flawless, do this about five times, mix in some land marks. Have her heel up next to me at the waters edge, throw the bumper and she hesitates, moves from around me and then decides to go in.
I think its something to do with being that close to the water, maybe not having enough time to think, I don't know
I was thinking that she thought the water test was SO EASY that she decided she wasn't going to be insulted. I will have to admit, she humbled me BIG TIME
Any how, I would love to here some ideas or thoughts, how to correct this.
