Boric acid is a dangerous poison. Poisoning from this chemical can be acute or chronic. Acute boric acid poisoning usually occurs when someone swallows powdered roach-killing products that contain the chemical.
Chronic poisoning occurs in those who are repeatedly exposed to boric acid. For example, in the past, boric acid was used to disinfect and treat wounds. Patients who received such treatment over and over again got sick, and some died.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Borax poisoning
Boric acid
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
The main symptoms of boric acid poisoning are blue-green vomit, diarrhea, and a bright red rash on the skin. Other symptoms may include:
If the chemical is on the skin, remove by washing the area thoroughly.
If the chemical was swallowed, seek medical treatment immediately.
Determine the following information:
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Treatment depends on the individual symptoms. The patient may receive:
Note: Activated charcoal does not effectively treat (absorb) boric acid.
The infant death rate from boric acid poisonings is high. However, boric acid poisoning is considerably rarer than in the past because the substance is no longer used as a disinfectant in nurseries. It is also no longer commonly used in medical preparations. Boric acid is an ingredient in some vaginal suppositories used for yeast infections, although this is NOT a standard treatment.

In response to a turn a thread in another forum was taking (one about what you collected when the vintage Star Wars figure lines ended, before POTF2 arrived on the scene), I am starting a thread about comics from about the 70's to the 80's (when the industry began a seeming decline in quality and content). Who amoungst us recalls those days when most of the comics were story-driven and still (usually) had great art. Before the dark times, before Image.
Not to bash Image too much, as their emergence onto the comic market may well have helped ensure that the industry and the medium survived to this day. But they also ushered in the age of the art-driven, storyline poor comic that prevailed for many years. I've been too jaded to persue much in comics these days (except perhaps Top 10 by Alan Moore, though it has come too a conclusion all too soon at only 12 issues in the regular series). There are still gems amoung the stones, but there was a time when there were far more gems, much more for a READER of comics. A lot of the joy and wonder is gone and it is a shame. What are the feelings of those of you out there who collected comics (or still do to this day)? Another issue that was brought up was the demise of the collectability of comics due to collector/speculator "scalpers" in the 80's and 90's. That is an issue I will address in this thread when I have more time (don't get me started on that one, I was very close to the industry during the emergence of Image and the "value inflation" that nearly killed the market).

Since Arduino insists on having a serial line to upload the firmware (although none is needed for usbasp), you may have to edit Arduino's preferences.txt file manually and set the variable serial.port to an existing device. Preferences.txt is in ~/Library/Arduino on the Mac.
With Arduino 11 the serial pb will disappear (not tested yet but something like metaboard.upload.disable_flushing=true will solve the pb)
Is it possible to communicate with the computer from within an Arduino sketch? Would the board still appear as a virtual serial port? Would there be a way to create a version of the Arduino Serial functions that would work? How many limitations would that impose on the other processing done by the sketch?

I'm hesitant to recommend the DT990. It's a very trebly headphone and very cold, and it could also play really bad with any possible badly mixed rap and metal records. DT880 is the safer bet. If there were any HE-400s of the world in the 200 dollar range, that'd be an easy recommendations, but sadly not many headphones carry that sound signature. Any headphone can have bass good enough for rap, as long as it extends naturally. EQ can take care of the rest, but if the headphone doesn't extend naturally, EQ won't do much.

Using Asserts
[ Thanks to Kate Hedstrom for this contribution ]
I recently gave a talk about debugging in which I spent a lot of time talking about how not to need a debugger in the first place. One such option for C/C++ programmers is the "assert" macro. If you know something that has to be true in your code, assert it.
assert is a function in the Standard C library and should therefore be available in any reasonable C implementation. Use it as:
#include <assert.h> assert(exp);
where exp is an integer expression. Any nonzero value will evaluate to true and your program will continue to execute. A value of zero will be read as false, leading to your program printing:
Assertion failed: Expression, file FileName, line LineNumber
and then calling abort. Note that abort will create a core dump of your program if your permissions, quota, and limits allow that to happen.
An example of using it would be checking to see if your constants are large enough:
#define MAX_COLORS 255 integer ncolors; /* find out how many colors you really have... */ assert (MAX_COLORS >= ncolors);
It is possible to have your assertions checked during debugging, then not checked later for efficiency. By recompiling your code with
defined, the checking will be turned off.
For the moderately adventurous, you can even read what's in /usr/include/assert.h to see how the assert macro is defined. For instance, on the IBM,
turns off the checking through:
#ifdef NDEBUG #define assert(ignore) ((void)0) #else : #endif
The else has a number of cases, depending on what version of C is being used. One is:
#define assert(__EX) ((__EX) ? ((void)0) : __assert(# __EX, __FILE__, __LINE__))
are special symbols that the C preprocessor will replace with the filename and the line number, respectively.
is the expression to be evaluated and the # operator before it is a "stringizing" operator, so that
can print the expression as a string rather than its value (which we know to be zero).
On the Cray and SGI, the man page points out: "Since assert is implemented as a macro, the expression may not contain any string literals." You also want to avoid such things as i++ in your expression since it will be evaluated twice if the assertion fails.
In summary, assert is a simple way to insert some checks into your code. If you don't want to pay a penalty for these checks, simply recompile with
and they will be skipped.
IBM: Trace/BPT trap
When running code compiled with XL Fortran or XL C/C++, the error "Trace/BPT trap" or SIGTRAP can appear for a few different reasons. If you see this error it very likely that you asked for it. Most trap signals are enabled at compile time and are generated when a particular run-time problem is detected. If a trap signal is generated it's a good idea to track down the cause.
Below is an example "Trace/BPT trap" error from an MPI job.
iceberg 1% cat myjob.err ERROR: 0031-250 task 0: Trace/BPT trap ERROR: 0031-250 task 15: Terminated ... ...
According to the XLF User's Guide, trap signals can occur for several different reasons, below are the more common causes.
- Integer divide by zero.
- Out of bounds array subscript values when the -C compiler option is specified.
- Floating point exceptions when the corresponding suboption is enabled at compile time (i.e. -qflttrap)
- Floating point operations which generate NaN or loads of NaNs when the -qfloat=nanq compile option is specified.
See the XL Fortran User's Guide, reference " A " below for a complete list.
Similarly the following XLC compiler options can generate trap signals:
- Integer divide by zero when the compiler option -qcheck=divzero or -qcheck=all were specified at compile time.
- Out of bounds array subscript values for fixed and known sized arrays when the -qcheck=bounds or -qcheck=all compiler were specified.
- Floating point exceptions when the corresponding suboption is enabled at compile time (i.e. -qflttrap)
- When a signaling NaN is generated when converting from single to double precision at run time and the compiler options -qflttrap or -qflttrap=invalid and -qfloat=nans were specified at compile time.
- When a null address is detected and either the -qcheck=nullptr or -qcheck=all compile options were specified.
See the XL C/C++ Compiler Reference, reference " B " below for more details.
When a trap occurs a core file will be generated. If your application was compiled with debugging information a debugger can be used to determine where and why the trap was generated. For MPI code you may want to use lightweight core files to track down where the trap occurred.

Quick-Turnaround Interactive Jobs on Klondike
While the vast majority of jobs on klondike are scheduled through the PBS batch scheduler, ARSC also permits interactive work. Interactive jobs are those run through a terminal login session. All users have interactive limits of 12 MSPs (48 SSPs) and 15 minutes of MPP time.
Three nodes (12 MSP processors) are reserved from 8am - 5pm Alaska Time, Monday-Friday, for interactive work, and 1 node is reserved otherwise. Looking at this arrangement from the batch-user's point of view, PBS batch jobs are given access to 112 MSPs during work hours, and 120 MPSs, otherwise.
The goal is to provide better turn-around time and to enable interactive Totalview debugging sessions for users in the code development stage of work.
For a longer description of interactive processing on klondike, users may read "news interactive_jobs."

A: [[ Here are two lines extracted from a C program (could just as [[ easily be a Fortran example): [[ ------------------------------------------------------- [[ n = VALUE_OF_N; [[ #ifdef VERBOSE [[ ------------------------------------------------------- [[ [[ [[ Here's a two line makefile to compile the program: [[ ------------------------------------------------------- [[ prog: [[ cc -D VALUE_OF_N=$(NNN) -D VERBOSE prog.c [[ ------------------------------------------------------- [[ [[ [[ Here's how you could "make" this, specifying the ultimate value of [[ "VALUE_OF_N" (and thus, of "n" as well) on the command line: [[ ------------------------------------------------------- [[ $ make NNN=1000 [[ ------------------------------------------------------- [[ [[ [[ And, finally, here's my question. Is there a way to define or [[ undefine the macro "VERBOSE" (which takes no value) from the make [[ command line? I want something like the following, which I know [[ is incorrect: [[ [[ $ make NNN=1000 -D VERBOSE [[ # # Thanks to Kate Hedstrom for this response. # The simplest solution in this case is to have no makefile at all, but depend on the built-in make rules: cygnus 1109% make CPPFLAGS="-D VERBOSE -D VALUE_OF_N=77" prog cc -D VERBOSE -D VALUE_OF_N=77 prog.c -o prog I couldn't figure out how to get the extra level of indirection here, but it isn't necessary: cygnus 1108% make CPPFLAGS="-D VERBOSE -D VALUE_OF_N=$(NNN)" NNN=1000 prog Illegal variable name. CPPFLAGS is a built-in make variable.

Great decoration idea! This creative cranberry ball is perfect for any celebrations.
Hanging in an entryway, a kissing ball welcomes guests with a romantic touch. Instead of eucalyptus, you may like to add mistletoe or holly for a hint of Christmas past or, if you're not fond of eucalyptus, use popped popcorn to fill in the open spaces between cranberries.

The story of the painting is as complex as that of its subject — and of its author.
In his life of Rosso, Vasari himself mentions a Quadro dei nudi (as it appears in an Uffizi inventory of 1635–38), stating that is was made during his last period in Florence for Giovanni Bandini: "un quadro di alcuni ignudi bellissimi in una storia di Mosè quando ammazza l'Egizio, nel quale erano cose lodatissime; e credo che in Francia fosse mandato" ("a painting of truly beautiful nudes in a story of Moses, when he kills the Egyptian, which contained superb things; and I believe it was sent to France"; Vasari, ed. Milanesi, 1906, V, p. 159). Vasari was absolutely right, and this has now been confirmed by a document (Elam 1993, pp. 63–69) which records the sale of the painting to Francis I of France in about 1530. It is presumed it returned to Florence between 1568 (the year in which the second edition of Vasari's work was published) and 1588, when it is mentioned in an inventory of the Casino di San Marco (Barocchi 1983, p. 54, no. 21), before appearing once again in the will (1632) of Don Antonio de' Medici, the son of Bianca Cappello. It is recorded in the Uffizi as Ercole che uccide il Minotauro e rovescia le mura di Troia.
Antonio Natali (1995, p. 92) has studied the journeys of the painting, examining the results of the recent restoration for evidence to clarify his doubts about the autography of the work. These perplexities have appeared before, and questions have been raised about whether or not Rosso alone worked on it, as well as about the fact that in some parts it is incomplete, with some areas only sketched in and lacking in vigour. Natali has thus considered that some uncertainties or sketchy descriptions should not be interpreted as liberties taken in the grand manner of Rosso, but rather that they betray the existence of a contemporary replica, made in circles very close to Rosso when the original (probably the one on wood) was sent to France, where it may have remained. Although there is no way to disperse doubts about this hypothesis, the work does offer clear evidence of Rosso's grandiose approach, for it conveys all the vigour of his sophisticated expression, which ranges from the lessons learnt from Michelangelo to studies of classical statues.

A little confession: I am not a morning person. In fact, I hate getting up before 9 a.m., and I'd probably sleep until 10 a.m. if I could.
I'm not sure whether it was too many late nights during college, or if I'm a night owl by nature, but it's far too often "late to bed, late to rise" for me. And I'm trying to fix it.
There aren't enough hours in the day for kids, hobbies, work, etc., and life's far too short to spend in a sleepy haze. Here are 10 tips for how I get up at 6:30 a.m. every (ok… maybe not every) morning:
1. Go to bed when you're tired.
You've probably heard that you're supposed to go to bed at the same time every night, right? Yeah, I tried that, and ended up staring at the ceiling for a few hours. Instead, I go to bed when I'm tired.
Usually this means that I do go to bed at roughly the same time every night. Eventually you get into a rhythm and it works out. One caveat, though, is that we geeks tend to get rather caught up in our own hobbies. Don't stay up later than you should just because you want to finish one more quest in Fallout 3 or because you have a blog article due the next day (ahem).

If you were looking for a new pup to train up what specific things on the pedigree are you looking for? What do you try and find out about the dam/sire?
Im getting ready to start on dog #3. My first was a chocolate male I bought from a buddy. It was a disaster. I worked with the dog for a while the. Finally took him to a pro who put I. A bout 3 weeks with him and called and said he couldn't put in this dog what he needed. Made a great pet. Bad retriever. 2 years later I bought a yellow female. HRCH titles on both Sire and dam as well as great site/dam. I took her to the a trainer and left her for about 6 months. She was a good hunting dog. Not a very good marker though. She never did very well In hunt tests. Excellent pro trainer, the dog had drive but lacked the ability to mark. But suited my needs for a hunting dog. Both these me ruined dogs have zinc passed away and I'm itching to get another and do it myself this time. I plan on getting in with a training group even b4 getting a pup this time. So what kind of pup pedigree am I looking for? Any pointers? I would like to be able to train it myself and finish him/her in a couple of seasons.

Following with their new-found strategy of a yearly refresh, AMD announced the successor to their popular Trinity based APUs. Say hello to Richland folks.
AMD has been working on their "Fusion" project for quite a long time. After years of delay, the troubled company finally launched their first-generation APU or Accelerated Processing Unit models with their Llano architecture two years ago. The performance was all over the place, but the company proved it to everyone that their pursuit wasn't in vain.
Fast forward 3 years and you can clearly see the shift that AMD has brought about. Intel is concentrating harder on its graphics unit each passing generation, and AMD won a hat-trick with the new generation of consoles; the Wii U, the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One are all using APUs designed by AMD which should bring the company billions of dollars home.
Let's talk about Richland. AMD's Richland is more of a stop-gap for the real carnage that is silently waiting for its turn to unleash itself. Kaveri is the APU line that you're waiting for. Trinity owners need not go for an upgrade, unless they simply want to. Think of Richland as a tweaked Trinity (2012) with clock speed improvements, more developed 32nm process and better drivers. All this translates to roughly 5-15% improvement in performance, not enough to warrant an upgrade. It is worthy of noting that Trinity won the "Best of COMPUTEX TAIPEI award" in 2012, but we doubt a similar feat will be achieved by Richland.
The entire line-up is value oriented, with the prices ranging from$69 to $142 only. Keep in mind, these APUs have a CPU and a discrete class GPU on the same die. AMD has introduced Splashtop wireless streaming technology with their new Richland APUs. The updated HD 8000 GPU can handle memory clock speeds up to 2133 MHz, and AMD has complemented that by launching its own Radeon Gamer series 2133 MHz RAM kits. For benchmarks, OpenCL or gaming, have a look at the gallery of slides released by AMD.
Shipping for AMD's next generation APU begins this month, June itself. Although CPU performance isn't comparable, Richland hopes to match or best Intel's new Iris Pro graphics on their Haswell processors. Of course, Kaveri aims to change the tide later in 2013. We'll keep an eye out for it.

âMoney on My Mind': Spotify's most popular cash-themed songs
Today is National Dollar Day
Money may be the root of all evil, but it's also been the root of some really great songs.
Today is National Dollar Day, an annual holiday that falls on Aug. 8. According to history, Friday marked 138 years since the United States monetary system was established by the Continental Congress.
In honor of National Dollar Day, we reached out to the folks at Spotify to compile the most popular money-themed songs according to their users' listening habits. The top 15 is mostly stocked with recent artists like Sam Smith, Aloe Blacc and Miley Cyrus — but a few classic acts made the list including Pink Floyd and Dire Straits.
Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money Mo Problems," released in 1997, is the most popular track released before 2010. According to the service's users, Lana Del Rey is the reigning queen of money tunes, with three songs on the list.
Here's the complete list, which Spotify's researchers promise will, "keep you motivated through to your next payday."
1. Sam Smith – "Money on My Mind"
2. Aloe Blacc – "I Need A Dollar"
3. Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock – "Money Trees"
4. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – "Make The Money"
5. Notorious B.I.G. – "Mo Money Mo Problems"
6. Dire Straits – "Money For Nothing"
7. Wyclef Jean – "Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)"
8. Kid Ink – "Money and the Power"
9. Lana Del Rey – "Million Dollar Man"
10. Miley Cyrus, Big Sean – "Love Money Party"
11. Pink Floyd – "Money"
12. Lana Del Rey – "Money Power Glory"

ETTA – Two suspects arrested Saturday for burglary of a commercial building remain in Union County Jail.
Jessica Bullard, 31, and Tim Rainey, 28, both of 1145 County Road 32, Etta, are expected to be formally charged and bond set Monday, said Sheriff Jimmy Edwards.
A break-in at Pinedale Grocery on Mississippi Highway 355 in Etta was discovered about 5 a.m. Saturday by turkey hunters who stopped at the store and found the door shattered, the sheriff said.
By 7:45 a.m. two suspects had been identified and taken into custody, and the stolen tobacco products recovered.
The case remains under investigation by Investigator Brian Carpenter.

More than most, Bradford Cox reminds me of my man Polyphemus — not just the one Odysseus conned in the cave but the other one as well, the one posted up in the countryside and pining in song for the sea nymph Galatea. Song was his pharmakon, the cure for melancholy, but also the poison that kept him lovesick. The idea is a stone's throw from Cox's press release, where the Deerhunter frontman describes the aim of Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (Kranky), his shimmering new bedroom-rock solo effort as Atlas Sound: "I want to make music that could be 'healing' or therapeutic to people who relate to it."
After Cox's drone-punk act Deerhunter took off last year, he would talk in interviews about his struggle with Marfan's syndrome, a genetic disorder that has left him with disproportionately long limbs, a drawn face, sunken bovine eyes, and who knows what heart complications. The disease has left him looking cyclopean; grade-schoolers being the assholes they are, it's left him feeling cyclopean too. Positioned that way, Deerhunter music sometimes sounds confrontational, each song an outcast's well planned revenge. On stage, Cox would wear wedding dresses doused in blood, and at one show he even received a blow job from a bandmate — not necessarily groundbreaking stuff, but the gestures were confident, and the confidence was unsettling. Deerhunter's Cryptograms LP and Fluorescent Grey EP (both 2007 releases on Kranky) were self-assured, the artistic capitulation of this young man realizing his limitations: who he was, what he looked like, what he loved and what he couldn't, what he was good at, what he wanted to do.
So if Deerhunter are an aggro act born of ostracism, Cox's posture in Atlas Sound, who perform upstairs at the Middle East this Tuesday, has flipped a bit. Here's a confident singer-songwriter dwelling in the adolescent funks he thought he'd surmounted: exclusion ("River Card"); bullying and physical abuse ("Bite Marks"); confused sexuality ("Winter Vacation"); death ("Recent Bedroom"); "waiting to be changed" ("Quarantined").
His sonic formula is simple but powerful: a bed of shimmering electronics and guitar fuzz, a mid-tempo beat with drums way back in the mix, haiku-like lyrics repeated over and over, words that, on being articulated, tend to dissipate. These aren't songs but meditations. "I could not cry/I don't know why," he sings in "A Recent Bedroom"; then later on "Quarantined": "Quarantined and far away from my friends/Waiting to be changed." In one interview, Cox ran through every track here, detailing the story behind each. He's a smart lyricist who for the most part knows when and where to hold back; he's never cloying or too mushy or too woe-is-me. He's also wry enough to pit warped lyrics against chipper and chirpy sounds — he bolsters "Quarantined," one of the album's most draining songs, with huge drum sounds and a bouncy Beach Boys bass line.

By NEMS Daily Journal
The brightest spotlight on the 2013 legislative session shines on education proposals, but substantial energy is under development from all across the state to again visit the long-term funding of highway maintenance, a necessity that has fallen off the pace of complete overlay every 10 years.
The problem, as the elected commissioners agree, is the gap between maintenance costs and the revenue stream that's been in place – based on fuel taxes of 18 cents per gallon – since 1987.
The fuel tax is per gallon, not a percentage of fuel costs, so rising costs per gallon don't necessarily benefit revenues unless actual fuel consumption steadily goes up, which has not been the case as vehicles have become more fuel efficient, and as some motorists drive less because of the fuel cost at the pump.
The revenue stream was set in the 1987 Highway Program, the state's first statewide four-lane program, which is the main energy behind the four-laning of highways like U.S. 78 and 45, plus major state corridors, in the past 26 years.
These safer, faster 1987 program roads, however, are deteriorating as all high-use highways do over time.
The department's standard maintenance policy of completing systemwide overlays every 10 years – 10 percent per year – has fallen to 3 percent per year because higher per-mile costs are overwhelming available revenue.
The cost is $250,000 or more per mile, compared to about $75,000 per mile in 1987, MDOT Tupelo District Engineer Bill Jamieson said Monday.
Changing the numbers is not up to staff member but falls to the Legislature and elected officials from the governor down through the Transportation Commission.
As some longtime highway advocates have said, the essential element that hasn't come forward as in 1987 is the statewide business community. Its support must be visible and vocal.
In the 1913 budget (this fiscal year) MDOT asked for $181 million for highway maintenance and is asking for $190 million in the 2014 budget.
The cost sounds daunting but it is a drop in the bucket compared to where costs could rise if adequate maintenance is indefinitely delayed.
The 1987 program was a big bullet for the Legislature to bite, but it saw the need and exercised its will, to extraordinary effect. That story must continue to save the investment.

Food Lover's Gift Guide
Just Desserts
Un Petit Morceau
Last February, Nana Visitor and Kim Montalvo began e-mailing flyers for made-to-order goodies. At first, the monthly messages went out to just a few friends and neighbors in Corrales. Now the flyers reach about 150 inboxes, and their "specialized, high-end" foods are sold in gourmet stores outside of the Village.
"We do small, beautiful little things that taste great," Montalvo says. "We love doing bite-size morsels." That's where their business, Un Petit Morceau, gets its name.
"We do small, beautiful little things that taste great."
Kim Montalvo, Un Petit Morceau
Each month's flyer offers a different selection of treats, so "it's been a very experimental first year for Un Petit Morceau," Montalvo explains. "Nana's cooking and baking skills cross over to many areas—desserts, candies, ice creams and small appetizers that taste great with wine. What we learned, and what has defined us," she adds, "has not been so much the specific product niche, but the ability to always leave an intense and interesting taste experience."
Visitor's mother was from Paris, arguably the world capitol of food. From an early age, Visitor was exposed to a reverence for food's restorative powers and an understanding of complex flavors. She credits her mom as being at the heart of her baking, but Visitor (who daylights as an actor and is a mother herself) says she's also been known to borrow a few techniques from gastro-scientist Ferran Adrià, of Spain's El Bulli restaurant.
In that spirit of experimentation, Un Petite Morceau's original creations include little bites called "bouboulettes." Somewhere between a pastry, a cookie and a candy, the flavors that fill the bouboulettes are equally pliant. Three savory offerings are tailor-made to complement wine. On the dessert side, there are nine inspired tastes to choose from, including fresh apple with candied red pepper, intense lemon with basil, ginger-rosemary, and Earl Grey tea with plum. "The goal was to make an extremely satisfying taste experience in just a few bites" says Montalvo, "which, by the way, is the way Nana eats."
Orders are scheduled with 72-hours' notice and delivered just before your event. A website, unpetitmorceau.com, will be up and running by late December. Stores that stock Un Petit Morceau goodies are: Frontier Mart (3677 Corrales Road, 898-0311) and Oasis Coffee and Tea (4940 Corrales Road,792-4720) in Corrales; Keller's Farm Store on the Westside (6100 H Coors NW, 898-6121); and Michael Thomas Coffee (1111 Carlisle SE, 255-3330).

When Ally Sinclair answers the phone at Cocopotamus headquarters, she has to excuse herself.
"I have chocolate all over my hands!"
It doesn't sound like she minds.
Husband and wife chocolatiers Max and Ally Sinclair clearly love their jobs. They talk about Cocopotamus with an effervescent warmth, the sort of awed excitement you see in parents with a toddler who's discovered walking.
"We like to travel and eat, and our food reflects that."
Ally Sinclair, Cocopotamus
Cocopotamus is their baby, after all. And people can't help but coo over it. This month, toothy food celebrity Rachel Ray called Cocopotamus "awesome" and put the boutique chocolate company in her Thanksgiving Guide. When Ally pulled a personal note from Ina Garten, "the Barefoot Contessa," out of the mailbox, Max thought his wife was just pulling his leg. "We have no idea how they found out about us," Ally says. Cocopotamus has only been in production since July.
The Sinclairs describe their fudge-filled truffles as "New American"—a modern, multicultural twist on old-fashioned American fudge. It's casual and fun. Even though it's high-quality, it's not at all stuffy. All the hand-dipped truffles are made with dark chocolate, but you almost wouldn't know it. "Everything is super creamy," Ally says.
Chocolate can merge with a huge spectrum of flavors, from "comfortable, inspired-
Cocopotamus' globetrotting ethos is a reflection of the Sinclairs. "We like to travel and eat, and our food reflects that," Ally says. She speaks Japanese and went to high school in Japan, which gave her the inspiration for Sumos Never Sleep, a matcha green tea truffle. Max's thought process behind the Ommm... truffle started with the British tradition of orange and chocolate (specifically, those whackable Terry's Chocolate Oranges). That led him to consider Great Britain's history with India and its spice trade. The result—organic orange with chai spices and Triple Sec liqueur—"is unlike any other chocolate orange I've tasted," he says.
There are no junky ingredients like artificial preservatives or corn syrup in Cocopotamus chocolates. The flavors are always natural—the wild Thai ginger in Gilligan's Fave actually comes from wild Thai ginger. That's something everyone (except Mary Ann, maybe) can love. And, Max says, if they can bring the planet together through chocolate, all the better. "That's the secret mission."

Chocolate Cartel
"No shortcuts," says master chocolatier Scott Van Rixel. And he means it. A rigorous work ethic is the guiding principal behind the confections made at Chocolate Cartel, which Van Rixel co-owns with his brother Tim. "We try to do everything as old-school and authentic as we can." In Chocolate Cartel's case, "old-
"It's very authentic, intense chocolate. But it's not bitter because of the quality of the beans."
Scott Van Rixel, Chocolate Cartel
"Wanna see the recipe?" Van Rixel asks, rolling up his shirt sleeve. He has a large, colorful tattoo of a glyph—it's the formula for xocoatl, he explains, the original stuff that Montezuma's high priest served to the emperor.
Most of what Chocolate Cartel produces is European-
Van Rixel personally blends his chocolate from six regional varieties of Venezuelan cocoa solids, all derived from the highest quality, lowest-yield bean there is. Chocolate Cartel's milk chocolate, for example, is really a blend of milk and dark. That's because Van Rixel hates milk chocolate and wouldn't even touch the stuff until a few years ago. "So our milk is darker than most people's dark."
For those who aren't afraid of the dark, Chocolate Cartel makes an eating bar that's a staggering 90 percent cacao—and zero percent bitterness. "It's very authentic, intense chocolate. But it's not bitter because of the quality of the beans," he says. "But it's intense."
If you can dream it in chocolate, the Cartel probably makes it—or will make it, if you ask Van Rixel. He loves a challenge. Even Chocolate Cartel's less-than-ideal location seems to spur him on. Half-hidden on industrial corner of Juan Tabo near the freeway, it isn't easy to find. "We don't get a lot of foot traffic, but we're becoming a destination," Van Rixel says. "I like being that little secret. People come in and say, I have to tell my friends about this! And they do."
Nearly the same idea crops up when Van Rixel describes the rather plain wrappers Chocolate Cartel uses. "We don't put a lot into the packaging," he says. "Our quality is what's in the box."
Walk-ins welcome at 315 Juan Tabo NE, Suite A. Or place an order at 797-1193 or chocolatecartel.com.

When I 1st started in the Field Trial game, I used to hear lots of complaints in the gallery about "contrary throws". Over the past couple of years, I note that at most Trials you see contrary throws all the time in Senior stakes and some in the Qual and Derby.
In training, we now throw many contrary throws, as do many of the Pro Trainers.
2 questions:
Is there any such thing as a contrary throw any longer? Do you believe that incorparating contrary throws into your training program will hinder the dogs long term?

Towing refers to an ability in Grand Theft Auto games to tow or pull an object, specifically a trailer or vehicle, using another vehicle. The feature is first made possible in Grand Theft Auto 2, where semi-trailer trucks possess the ability to pull trailers, and the feature reappears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V, while Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars only features one vehicle with a permanently attached trailer. The trailer is also seen in other GTA games, but they cannot be towed and only act as props.
Attachments with trailers simply require the player reverse their vehicle into the front of a trailer until the camera readjusts itself to center on both the hauler and the trailer, confirming the coupling is complete. When pulling a trailer, the vehicle will possess poorer performance due to the need to pull extra weight, especially with regards to steering as the vehicle is now longer. Players have the option of detaching trailers after attachment.
All in all, GTA 2 features three forms of trailers, one of which is somewhat useful in actual gameplay. The Truck Cab and the Truck Cab SX represent the game's only two semi-trailer trucks, and are also the only vehicles in GTA 2 capable of attaching to and pulling trailers. Players may detach a trailer using the attack key or button.
Trailers sustain damage like other vehicles, and also emit fire the same way when heavily damaged, even exploding when destroyed, posing a danger to the player if they are pulling a trailer that is in bad condition. This danger is very likely to happen in certain missions: Benson Burner!, Operation Z! and Grand Theft Auto!, all of which require the player to tow a car across town.
GTA San Andreas
GTA San Andreas reintroduced the ability to pull loads. The game mechanics of attaching to and pulling a trailer is roughly the same as in GTA 2, but trailers may decouple from a vehicle using a specific command or if physical force (i.e. jackknifing, dislodging due to rough terrains or jumps, excessive speed, etc.) is subjected to the trailer. However, there is no single button to detach the trailers. There is a glitch in the PS2 version where taking a picture of the attachment will detach the trailers but the glitch is fixed in subsequent versions.
Along with the game's three semi-trailer trucks (the Linerunner, Tanker and Roadtrain), the game also introduces a different range of vehicles with roughly the same capability, including:
- The Tow Truck, which employs an adjustable boom at the back to pull any large vehicle.
- The Tractor, which uses an adjustable tow hitch to pull smaller hauls or large vehicles.
- The Utility Van and Baggage, which feature a stationary tow hitch to pull smaller hauls.
The trailers themselves consist of a more varied range of items, some of which are not available unless they are spawned using a third-party trainer. In total, GTA San Andreas features eight types of trailers: Four semi-trailers and four specialized trailers.
All trailers in general are capable of exploding entirely if severely damaged or flipped over, but specialized trailers have several other peculiarities, including functional headlights and taillights that light up at night or in a dark location, and the ability to emit smoke if sufficiently damaged (Including those that would never burn, much less explode). This is because all trailers are classified as vehicles, although they are defined with a different classification to other road vehicles.
Truck trailers are prominently used in the Trucking side missions.
GTA Chinatown Wars
In GTA Chinatown Wars, there is a Tanker. There are also a couple of missions that require either pulling up or detaching a Hellenbach or another object, either with a Recovery or a Reefer.
Grand Theft Auto V
The ability to tow trailers returns in GTA V, with mechanics almost identical to those in GTA San Andreas. Any semi with a hitch in the back can be reversed into most trailers, which will then automatically attach themselves. The player can unhook the trailer at any time, even while moving, which can offer a performance boost if needed or aid a getaway if executed properly. On highways, most often outside of Los Santos, semi trucks hauling various forms of cargo can be seen in traffic. Beyond commercial hauling, the Tow Truck returns, with the ability to move vehicles. Pick-up trucks have the ability to tow small to mid-size trailers. Sadler and Bison pick-ups are equipped with a tow hitch. Some trailers present in the game are boat trailers and a portable electricity generator. If a boat trailer with a boat is reversed into water, the boat starts to float off into the water, but cannot be re-attached to the trailer. Most commonly, Tropics and Squalos spawn on trailers.

Train Carriages
Train Carriages works the same way as with trailers, but these does not have any functionality to attach/detach them. In all of its appearances, these are pulled by Trains and have their own properties (having their own values in the files like every vehicle). These will be either randomized carriages or various carriages of the same type.
Other types of vehicles can be seen pulling another one of the same properties, such as Trams and Subway Cars.

List of trailers
Internal name
|A container trailer.
|A tanker trailer for liquid loads. Not to be confused with a Tanker truck (Early Ray Larabie design).
|A flat bed trailer. With the Transporter, the player has the ability to place any car on the trailer using single, unmarked cranes located in each district of the city; likewise, vehicles on trailers can be unloaded using the same cranes. When a gang car is placed on the truck, its gang markings disappears for as long as it is on the trailer.
|Train Carriages
Internal name
|Train Flatcar
|A generic flatcar.
|Train Boxcar
|A generic boxcar.
|Train Coach
|Train coach that can be used by the player for rides.
GTA San Andreas
Internal name
|Articulated Trailer
|A trailer designed to carry solid loads. The trailer is available in three forms, two fully covered (
ARTIC1 and
ARTIC3) and one hopper (
|Tanker Trailer
|A fuel tank trailer bearing Xoomer livery. Tanker trucks always uses these trailers. Can be spawned with a cheat. Can be found in Xoomer gas stations in Angel Pine, Easter Basin and El Quebrados, also parked at the Fallen Tree freighter depot and near Pecker's Feed & Seed factory in Las Payasadas.
|Specialized trailers
|Farm Trailer
|A cultivator intended to be pulled by a Tractor, complete with functional chisels that move as the Farm Trailer is in motion. The Farm Trailer can be found at the east side of the farm buildings across the water west of Palomino Creek. It can also be found at a farm in Tierra Robada near the Bait Shop, although no Tractors can be found in the desert. It is also found at the Blueberry Acres farm near Blueberry in Red County.
|Utility Trailer
|A black utility trailer intended for the Utility Van. The trailer is not normally available in game, and can only be spawned using a third-party trainer or car spawner. The reason for its lack of availability in-game is unknown. Strangely, at night, a headlight can be seen shining on the underside of the trailer, possibly the result of a glitch [1].
|Tug Stairs
|A mobile staircase commonly found in airports, intended for the Baggage and ideal for access into an AT-400 where a permanent platform is not available. Its high center of gravity may often lead it to topple over during high speed cornering. It is classed as a vehicle as a Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher can lock onto it and if shot at enough it will explode like an ordinary car. Strangely, it may also explode if tipped over on its roof.
|Baggage Box
|A luggage box commonly found in airports, and intended for the Baggage. Available open (
BAGBOXA) or closed (
BAGBOXB), and may also be attached to other Baggage Boxes or the Tug Stairs. The Baggage Box also features its own steering axle, allowing it to take corners sharply.
|Train Carriages
Internal name

|Large trailers
Internal name
|Commercial trailer
|Standard variation with a rectangular design, similar to the GTA San Andreas basic trailers. These trailers bears liveries of various companies, such Up-n-Atom Burger, Cluckin' Bell, Big Goods,and Pißwasser. Most of them can be found around the entire state.
The Big Goods version has an openable ramp door, which can be popped by shooting at it.
|Container trailer
|An unmarked shipping container that always has a rusty appearance. Sometimes appears next to the roads.
|Extended container trailer
|An unmarked orange shipping container on a blue or grey elongated trailer. One can be found at the Vespucci Helipads.
Another variant of this trailer are an empty one, as seen in Scouting the Port, but cannot be found normally.
|Car trailer
|Large car carrier that will spawn either empty or loaded with cars. These cars are locked, as there's usually not enough space to open a door. However, it is possible to get into these cars. They are tied down, so the only way for them to be drivable is if the truck is flipped on a hill. The rear door on the trailer can be opened if the character jumps in on the side and walks toward the rear of the trailer. Once opened, the hatch can not be closed.
In Pack Man, a variant with six sports vehicles appears, which four are props (because two cars are interactuable in the same).
|Tanker trailer
|Used to carry gasoline. They can explode if shot enough times, potentially bearing danger to a player hauling it. Shooting a hole in the tank makes it leak of gas which can be ignited by shooting. These trailers can often be found when driving in Paleto Bay and are only found in orange with the RON Gasoline logo on it. A camouflaged variant is used by the military for aviation supply. It can be found on Filling Stations or, for the military variant, only at Fort Zancudo.
For the Heists Update mission, Series A - Steal Meth, an unmarked orange tanker is seen.
|Flatbed trailer
|Flat trailers found empty. As the trailer serves as a basis, log trailers and curtainside trailers are variants of flatbed trailers. They are able to carry players without the risk of falling off, just like many other trailers, however objects and cars cannot stay on the trailer due to an unrealistic amount of 'inertia' in the game.
|Log trailer
|Flat trailer with logs stacked on it. These are usually found in Paleto Bay and the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness. Sometimes can be found empty, but these cases are rare.
|Curtainside trailer
|Covered flatbed with tarp side walls. These trailers always spawns in blue.
|Sand rake
|A trailer that can attach onto the Fieldmaster and is used to groom and clean beaches. One can be easily found at the beach, next to a Fieldmaster. These trailers lacks wheels, causing them to lose control over time.
While 12 interactive trailers are normally seen in the game, there are five Special trailers, which only appears in missions and cannot be found anywhere.
|Special trailers
Internal name
|Fame or Shame trailer
TRAILER / tvtrailer
|A trailer which is marked with the talent show name. It only appears in the mission of the same name, pulled by various Phantoms. Apart from the slight changes on the lower side of the trailer, is almost identical to the Articulated trailer.
|Big boat trailer
|A trailer that haul large boats, along with the pick-up variant. It only appears in the mission Father/Son, carrying Michael's Marquis. Cannot be interacted with because it is actually driven by an NPC. On the right, carries a mast of the Marquis and its composed of a thin base and various frames. It seems to be incorrectly modeled, as the Marquis prop has the underbelly fin touching the ground.
|Super flatbed trailer
|A special variation of the flatbed trailer, which has a longer and wider body structure, small red lights and three double axles. It only appears in missions where vehicles are carried to heist setups. The mission Driller uses a civilian variant, fitted with a prop of the Cutter, while in the mission Minisub, a camouflage/military variant is used, fitted with a tarpaulin and a real Submersible.
|Super flatbed trailer XL
|An extra longer variant of the previous one. It is only seen in the mission Sidetracked, used to carry the Freight Train and a freight flat trailer. It cannot be interacted with because it is actually driven by an NPC.
Closer inspections reveals that is the same super flatbed trailer, but extended and with some ommited details at the middle.
|Ortega's trailer
|Ortega's trailer that only appears moveable during the mission Mr. Philips and also appears as a vehicle when one manages to spawn it, it will appear in the player's hangar if done so. Despite being a trailer, it cannot be towed.
There are two unused trailers that are listed in the handling files and can be spawned. Both have agricultural purposes, therefore implied to be used by the Fieldmaster.
|Unused trailers
Internal name
|Grain Trailer
|A trailer that can attach onto the Fieldmaster and is used to carry grain.
|Hay Bale
|A trailer that can attach onto the Fieldmaster and is used to transport hay around the farm.
|Train Carriages
Internal name
|Freight Train Wellcar
|Basic universal flatcar made by D-Rail. Can have a container or not.
|Freight Train Tank Car
|Specialized train wagon to carry liquid cargo, mostly fuel. Those carried by Freight Trains might explode with explosives or gunfire.
|Freight Train Boxcar
|Basic boxcar with two doors on the sides. These are never carried by Freight Trains, but are often seen in facilities with railroads.
Image Gallery
- Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V both have many additional unusable trailers that are programmed the same as buildings. Some of these in GTA V can actually be moved when rammed by a heavy vehicle.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- All trailers are made with 4 wheels.
- In the beta version of GTA San Andreas, there used to be a shorter, green colored 'artict3' trailer. The name of this trailer in gta3.img is 'rdtraint', suggesting that this trailer is used to be pulled by a Roadtrain.
- For some reason, trucks and trailers (including the Yosemite) have double rear wheels in PS2 version, but these become single in PC. A mod can readd those for the PC version.
- The player can store up to two semi-trucks with an attached trailer in the Hangar in the Verdant Meadows Safehouse. If the player attempts to store a third truck with or without an attached trailer or any random vehicle, a message that does not allow the player to store additional vehicles will appear much like when attempting to store a fifth vehicle in a garage that can only store four. This implies that the semi and the attached trailer counts as two vehicles, since both still uses a GXT name and are registered in the game.
- Considering trailer design and names, R* must have wanted to have multi-trailer Roadtrains, but this was cancelled from the final game.
- Trucks never spawn on the road with a trailer. Trailers are parked separately and can be attached. The only two times that a truck with a trailer appears on the road are on a cutscene of the mission reuniting the families when Big Smoke crashes Sweet's Greenwood through a Sprunk Billboard and onto that same truck with the trailer attached to it, and on the mission Highjack, where CJ and Cesar steal a tanker truck driving on a highway into San Fierro.
- If a player manages to drive a Trailer (by mods), the trailers will have an extremely wide turning radius and a very low acceleration and top speed (even making jogging faster). Small trailers are an exception.
Grand Thef Auto V and Online
- In Online, other players can ride on top of certain trailer types. This can be used to transport more than two people while driving a semi, but low structures, and crashing can sometimes knock players off while on the trailers.
- Players will still board and enter a towed boat from pickups. However, this doesn't count as a trip in naval vehicles.
- In GTA V, the Car Carrier can be seen hauling cars. The cars can be taken off, but cannot be driven back onto the trailer.
- In the Beta, there was a Tanker Trailer with plain red scheme instead of RON scheme. However, they can still be found in-game and can be destroyed, but they cannot be towed.
- In the beta, there was a side mission where the player had to tow broken down vehicles off the highway to keep the traffic flowing as long as possible.
- If carried by a Cargobob at the night, lights will turn on.
- Trailers that posses a prop of vehicles on it, when towed by a truck, will still turn on these lights, but without their illumination.
- If the player is driving a Semi with an attached trailer and then, switched to another character and back to the same character that was used to steal a semi (for example, stealing a semi with an attached trailer while playing as Trevor, then switching to Franklin or Michael and back to Trevor), the trailer will instantly disappear. This possibly implies that the trailer may have already been detached off-screen by that protagonist. This is much more possible if the character that has switched to is not wasted or busted, and if the character that was used to steal a semi with a trailer is on the driver's seat at the time that the player switches characters. The semi, minus the trailer will be parked nearby during or after the switching cutscene on various locations replacing the character's default vehicle, or it will be parked on the driveways of the character's respective safehouses. This happens since trailers are considered as second vehicles (likely as second cars towed by Tow trucks), meaning that the game "deletes" vehicles that aren't driven by the protagonist in order to save hardrive memory.
- Oddly, the Big Goods trailer's rear door can be popped open by shooting at it. This because it was "differently modeled" for the mission The Big Score (Subtle Approach), in order to load the modified Gauntlets.
- It's not really possible to transport a locomotive on such a small and weak truck and trailer combination, because a locomotive is tens of times heavier than a trailer like this could carry.
- Sometimes, while playing the Humane Raid - EMP heist setup in GTA Online, Dinghies may spawn on the back of trailers being towed by Bobcats and Sadlers. This seems to be a glitch, as the Dinghies aren't correctly fitted on the trailers, as they cannot fit entirely.
- There are also some farm trailers manufactured by HVY which cannot be interacted using any vehicle.
- Unlike in GTA San Andreas, some trucks with trailers attached spawns on the road while being driven by NPCs.
- Contrary to its performance in Father/Son, if the player manages to tow a boat trailer with the use of a trainer, the shear weight of the trailer causes the vehicle towing it to struggle, even making it a struggle to tow in the first place, as the front tow hitch of any towing semi-truck is too high for the sitting-trailer (given the fact the trailer doesn't feature stands like ordinary trailers in the game.)

Ford has created an infographic on the subject of for-hire transportation which is both informative and somewhat mystifying.
That is, the whole concept of owning cars or renting cars or sharing cars or taking cabs or taking a service like Uber or Lyft is something that a whole lot of people—both individuals looking for a way to get from A to B in a reliable way as well as automotive OEMs that are either starting their own vehicle-sharing services (Mercedes car2go) or are working with an existing one (Ford and Zipcar)—are talking about more and more often of late.
So that's the informative part.
The somewhat mystifying part is how Ford calls out that it ended production of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car—the ne plus ultra of cabs and black cars—back in 2011, arguably one of the greatest puzzles or gaffes in recent automotive history.
Still, it is worth taking a look.

Meckel's diverticulectomy is surgery to remove an abnormal pouch on the lining of the small intestine (bowel). This pouch is called a Meckel's diverticulum.
You will receive general anesthesia before surgery. This will make you sleep and unable to feel pain.
Surgeons can also do this surgery using a laparoscope. A laparoscope is a tiny camera that is inserted into your belly through a small cut. Video from the camera will appear on a monitor in the operating room. The surgeon uses the monitor to do the surgery. In surgery using a laparoscope:
Treatment is needed to prevent:
The most common symptom of Meckel's diverticulum is painless bleeding from the rectum. Your stool may contain fresh blood or look black and tarry.
Risks for any anesthesia are:
Risks for any surgery are:
Risks for this surgery are:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
Most people stay in the hospital for 1 to 7 days depending on how extensive the surgery was. During this time, the doctors and nurses will carefully monitor you.
Treatment may include:
You will be also given fluids and nutrition through a vein (IV) until your doctor or nurse hears bowel sounds. These sounds mean your bowels are active again. Passing gas or having a bowel movement is a sign of bowel activity. Once this happens, you can starting eating by mouth.
You will need to follow up with your surgeon 7 to 10 days after surgery for testing.
Most people who have a Meckel's diverticulectomy have a good outcome. But the results of any surgery depend on your overall health. Talk with your doctor about your expected outcome.

Updated on 25 June 2013
A new report lays out the myths and facts about the biopharma innovation in India. The findings should help senior management of biopharma companies fine tune their R&D strategy.
New Delhi: The McKinsey report, commissioned by the US-India Chamber of Commerce, was released at the recently held US-India BioPharma and Healthcare Summit 2013 in Boston, US. The report points out the key areas where the Indian healthcare sector lags behind and also highlights the tremendous growth recorded by the industry.
The report highlights the serious concerns among US businesses and lawmakers over intellectual property protection in India. The report titled 'Crossing the Next Horizon: Will India play a Meaningful Role in Global Biopharma Innovation?', also pointed out the obstacles that are slowing the growth.
Clinical trials, infrastructure and policy are the biggest obstacles in driving R&D innovation in India's healthcare sector, the report identified. "While both global and Indian industry leaders opine that India's intellectual property (IP) situation needs to be addressed and clarified, they have highlighted that in fact clinical trials, infrastructure and policy are the biggest obstacles for India to meet its potential of driving R&D innovation at scale," the report said.
Mr Karun Rishi, president, US-India Chamber of Commerce, said at the event that, "This report clearly lays out the myths and facts about the biopharma innovation in India. The findings should help senior management of biopharma companies fine tune their R&D strategy and help leverage India's pockets of R&D strengths."
Many global R&D heads and CEOs emphasize the need for Indian companies to shift from 'deals' that offer only cost arbitrage to alliances that focus on innovation, quality and service, experts pointed out in the report. The report notes that emerging markets, such as India, can play a significant role in collaborations, providing not only more cost effective innovation, but access to new talent, technologies and assets to fill currently dry pipelines.

Did some work on the 'snort' .deb today. It was ridden with
bugs (some of which i introduced myself, by a somewhat
optimistic new upload ;) ) - dialup users had some problem
with the package not really working at all, wich is bad.
Also closed some ancient bugs that weren't even present
Started hacking on Debian-for-yopy (probably just 'yopy-linux', based on Debian ;) ).
I want a tiny dpkg, tiny apt, and some wrappers that do stuff like installing packages, and keeping the cache directories clean.

2010 Fight of the Year: Part 9
- Written by Dave Walsh
Fight #9 is a late entry, but a strong contender...
Mosab Amrani v. Mohamed Khamal (It's Showtime at the Sand, December 18)
It's Showtime had an excellent year in 2010, but it wasn't until the final fight on the final show that they put on a true fight for the ages. Mosab Amrani v. Mohamed Khamal is a testament to the power of quality matchmaking. These are two young fighters, both eager to move up the ranks, and both coming in determined to win. They're also extremely evenly matched, which results in a tremendous back and forth bout. This one reminds me of Chahid v. Zambidis in a lot of ways, as both men throw at a very fast pace, but also use considerably more skill and technique then you see in many of these all action fights. Khamal is in blue, Amrani in red.
If you ask me, Khamal should have picked up the decision win after regulation, but I have no complaints the way things went down. Fun, fun fight here, and it's not terrible hyperbole when the announced says it may be the best fight It's Showtime has ever produced. Great way for the company to close out the year and springboard into what could be a blockbuster 2011.
Previously featured:
Tyrone Spong v. Jerome Le Banner
Bovy Sor. Udomson v. Takaaki Umeno
Yuya Yamamoto v. Scott Shaffer
Peter Aerts v. Ewerton Teixeira
Mike Zambidis v. Chahid Oulad El Hadj
There will be 10 fights total posted, with the final fight posted later today. Fights are featured in chronological order moving through the year. Voting will be open tomorrow to determine the winner.

Spent much of the day in a half awake, but what else is new. I'm pretty sure I passed a test this morning, atleast I remember making it to the test, so that's atleast half the battle I suppose.
I became slightly bored this afternoon and wrote a tiny webserver as an exercise, it works quite well actually.
I've also been playing this evening with GnuPG. I decided my 1024bit key wasn't really good enough, so I revoked it. I've been playing with larger keys and have found that 4096bit keys are SLOW. It took 37 minutes to generate a keypair on a p2-233 and took roughly 20 seconds to send an encrypted email to myself. I'm generating somewhat smaller keys now. I'll probably endup settling on a 2048 bit key, but 3072 might be speedy enough for my taste.

Tonight the firefight is going to rock your house!
We have a 3-way Death Match fight!
That's right: the Desert Skiff vs the Trade Federation Tank was never really decided, the skiff with only its nose 1 vote past the AAT and the fight fans in favor of the tank raising more hell in the posted commentary on that brutal and bloody fight!
Now there's going to be a rematch! - But it will be even more intense as the winner of that previously undecided match from the Preliminaries was destined to face the Imperial Army's ATST scoutwalker!!!
The AT-ST as originally released featured a "remote control button" that let you make the scoutwalker's legs pump up and down like it was marching into battle or stomping on your Rebel action figures and those Ewoks! Twin side-cannons click and offer anti-aircraft defense for the walker - though one of them was supposed to be a grenade launcher and this oversight was never corrected when the AT-ST was re-released for the modern line. A twin-barrel nose cannon offers anti-personnel assualt capabilities while the control cockpit holds one action figure (not included). A "tank top" hatch opens and allows the pilot to scout out the situation, or use the hand-blaster cannon mounted on the top deck (though this was never seen in the movies). The ATST defeated Luke Skywalker's T-16 Skyhopper 219-60 to get here. A win with over 78% of the votes!
Well Luke is back for a little Revenge for the Jedi as he personally commandeers one of Jabba the Hutt's desert skiffs to take with him in this fight! The Desert Skiff sits atop display "landing struts" and features an extending plank that breaks away to pitch figures off to their doom! The side rails also "break away" to simulate battle wear, as does a brand new paint deco on a re-release of one of the most elusive Star Wars vehicles, molded originally in the vintage years. The pilot's controls at the rear of this cargo carrier remotely operate the craft's features, and a thumb toggle switch guides the steering rudder fins. Packaged in a window box display simulating the Rebels' fight against Jabba the Hutt over the Great Pit of Carkoon, the Skiff was released as a still very hard to find Target exclusive, and included a Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight figure packaged with it (and a lot of twist-ties). The skiff can easily hold 7 (seven) action figures! But it might need to use those twist ties it came with to tangle the walkers legs. The skiff never had any victory over the Trade Federation's AAT Tank and many say it actually lost, though the numbers have it over the tank by 1 mere vote.
From the Battle of Naboo comes the Trade Federation's AAT Tank, and in fact, Star Wars collectors' first tank ever! This vehicle is deceptive in its slim closed packaging: once opened and fully assembled, the AAT is a good sized vehicle! "Floating" on hidden wheels that give the tank the look that its operating on working repulsarlifts, the vehicle is raised into optimal firing range for its no-less-than 4 actually firing, mobile-missle launcher tubes. The vehicle is also well defended from both surface and arial assault by a pair of side-mounted multi-blaster cannons, while the main turret holds a very powerful single-barrel laser cannon. Another feature lets you position OOM-9 (not included) in the command tower and a remote lever makes him pop out of the main hatch. If the AAT takes any battle damage, the main pilot's station can be blasted open and the pilot Battle Droid is ejected, while an interior panel cleverly switches from displaying a "clean and new" Droid gunner, to a blasted and battle-damaged one! The AAT can also serve as a troop transport because it may take on up to 4 more Battle Droids on action figure stands that flank its sides to quickly move the Trade Federation Forces into position to take over the market! The tank might have lost the last round to the skiff by 1 vote, but those posting in Preliminary Fight 13 did not seem to think so.
Now both OOM-9 and Luke will have their hands full as they not only take on each other, but the might of the Galactic Empire's Army as well as the ScoutWalker crashes this party!
Which vehicle is going to win?
Only 1 of them will survive and make it to the Semi-Finals as we see which toy is the greatest Hasbro achievement in the modern collection!
Vote now! Then let's talk about your choice for The Death Match!!!

The breeder told me that this was considered a "line breeding " and wasn't a problem and was actually quite common for breeding a desirable trait, like pointing or fox red. Any advise from experienced breeders would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance for any responses, Bob

Boy I haven't written in ages.
Computer Science
I finished the AI course at my school. Scheme was our primary language of programming and we had an Othello tournament in which our Othello AIs competed in. I'm currently taking a class in Computational Geometry and it is quite interesting. I've decided to take a break from Scheme and code in C++. I've written a lot of stuff in Scheme lately.. Functional programming is quite interesting.
A lot of work done on the software synthesizer my friend and I are writing. We had it working and producing some music (no graphical frontend though) at one point, but we decided to rewrite the engine completely in C++ so that it would be a lot easier to design and maintain in the future. The current engine in C++, although much cleaner, isn't working yet. I've also completely halted development on GtkHx as Hotline is a dead-end and I no longer wish to spend my time working on this dead-end project. Although I've received an offer for it to be taken over, no one has stepped up to the plate yet.
