Wel, finally found time to do the prc-tools package. I really want this done today so here's hoping real-life goes away for a bit
Must seriously sit down with Archive::Tar too. Andreas is having problems with it in CPAN.pm and the Win32 folks still don't have something they can use. Oh well.

Hasbro says yes, Lucasfilm says maybe. Seeing the preview in a theater at CIV was amazing; I'd love to see it in a theater if they showed it there first.

Got a question for Hasbro? Ask it here!

My Star Wars Fan Film: The Lazy Jedi
Sounds like it could happen.
I could see that a theatrical release would warm up the different networks to the idea of buying the series. Depending on how good it does at the box office. It's got to do better than some of the CGI features that have been released in the last few years.
I see it as a win-win situation for everyone if indeed it becomes so.
Then after the series runs on TV, release the DVD.
Hmm, good marketing.
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
I saw Season 3 of Clone Wars (the real one) at the premiere in a Hollywood theater in 2005, followed by a Q&A with Tartakovsky. I believe proceeds went to charity. So it wouldn't be totally unprecedented.
That's my jacket!
I figured they would do something like this with the clone wars cartoon, because the way lucasfilm has talked about it in interviews, no one is really interested in taking the show on just yet, so it would be the smart thing for them to do by realeasing their "pilot" in the theaters. Maybe the live action show will follow suit and we'll get a new movie! LOL.
Honestly, I don't get why someone would prefer a guy in a helmet with little or no back story over a EU character, and if this guy in a helmet does have a backstory it's EU!!!!
I meant in the theater.
But you raise a good point, sir. At least Chux paid money and it went to charity...I paid money for the DVD and part of it went to Genndy. What a waste.

Term: Jupiter
Jupiter: Jupiter is in its rulership in Sagittarius. Jupiter is the planet that can tell you about processes in your life. On the physical level Jupiter relates to glandular function, specifically the liver. The sign and house placement indicate the general level of glandular function, and may indicate the most appropriate diet. Aspects to Jupiter can indicate the timing of diet and nutritional changes to achieve healthier processing within the body.
The same is true for the mind. Jupiter indicates a philosophical level of thinking. Its placement and aspects suggest how you relate to the world on the mental level, where you thoughts tend to expand, and how you approach new situations mentally. Jupiter reflects the area where you are most optimistic about life. It can also show where you can become extravagant or how you tend to exaggerate.
Jupiter also shows how you approach religious concepts. Do you examine the details Virgo style? Do you go with what is comfortable Taurus style? Jupiter shows how you come to understand the Universe and God, what inspires you to greater faith, and how you hold onto your beliefs once they have developed.
Jupiter is idealistic. Its placement and aspects show where idealism will take you during your life. Jupiter provides a reflection of how you pursue your mission in life. Here I am referring to your spiritual mission, but also to your career as that pertains to your spiritual development.
Jupiter reflects the human capacity for forgiveness. Each of us has a personal style where relationships are concerned, and each of us forgives the errors and differences in others. Jupiter's placement and aspects show how we learn to forgive ourselves for weaknesses and mistakes as well. This is how we come to understand ourselves, not as vessels of perfect human expression, but rather as spiritually guided beings who seek our own most inspired, most confident, most successful expression. Jupiter allows us to indulge in excesses, while at the same time guiding us to our goals. This planet shows how your individual sense of humor works. Through Jupiter we come to understand humanity n general and ourselves in particular, both aspiring to be spiritually wise and understanding of self and others.

Hierophant: One of the trumps of the Major Arcana of the tarot. Numbered V. In the system of Eliphas Levi, it corresponds to the Hebrew letter Heh. In the system of the Golden Dawn, The Hierophant corresponds to the Hebrew letter Vav and the astrological sign of Taurus.
Hierophant: An officer of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. When the temple is set up for Neophytes, the Hierophant (Greek for "initiating priest") sits in the East, represents the dawning Light, and is the main ritual officer. When a woman holds this office she is called the Hierophatria or Hieropantissa.
The 5th Major Arcanum of the Tarot
Image: Pope or other major religious leader
Hebrew letter: Vav
Divinatory meaning: Authority, Wisdom, Spirituality
Path on the Tree of Life: 16th path connecting Yesod to Tiphareth.
Qabalistic Description. The 5th Key, the 16th Path. Magus of the Eternal Gods. This Path connects Chesed (Mercy) with Chokmah (Wisdom). The primary function of the Hierophant is to tie together the Great Above to that which is Below. The Hierophant is also the Great Teacher of the Mysteries, bringing understanding as the link between sensory experience and inner illumination. Vav means the nail, binding things together.
Card Description. The Hierophant as High Priest is the counterpart of the High Priestess. As Aries is the house of Mars and the exaltation of the Sun, so Taurus is the house of Venus and the exaltation of the Moon. He is the reflective or mystical aspect of the masculine. He is the thinker as the Emperor is the doer.
His colors unlike those of the Emperor vary considerably. Red, orange, maroon, deep brown, and chestnut brown, suggest veiled thought, interior power, endurance, contemplation and reconciliation. This card frequently indicates the hidden guardianship of the Masters.
Interpretation. Divine wisdom, occult wisdom, manifestation, explanation, teaching. The Hierophant differs from, though resembling in some respects, the meaning of The Magician, The Prophet, and The Lovers.
Psychological Value. You may use this Arcanum when you are eager to act, but have not yet figured out what your true heart's desire is, or when you are wasting your efforts on things you don't need, instead of focusing on your truest desires. It helps you develop generosity, sincerity, justice, tact, courtesy and refinement, as well as your sense of order and organization. It can help you to understand how to best present yourself socially. (According to the Divine Arcana of the Aurum Solis—Divinity: Zeus; Greek Letter: Upsilon.)

We just returned from a fantastic weekend at Camp Cooper up in the Coast Range.
Friday night Camp Cooper greeted us with a light rain, but not enough to dampen the spirits of the Troop 664. Saturday morning the rain turned to down pours, and still the Scouts of 664 drove on. Sunday morning we awoke to a fine dusting of fresh snow, a thing of beauty.
It was a fantastic weekend for those that made good choices. those that took chances had a little different experience, while those that stuck to fundamental Scout skills had a pleasant weekend.
There is a huge difference between making sound choices and taking chances.
This weekend was a great example of that principle.
Scouts knew that it was raining, when it rains you get wet…. UNLESS… you make a choice not to. You can choose to put your rain gear on… you can choose to put your boots inside your tent… you can choose to keep your gear under a cover… you can choose to zip your tent door and set it up with the door away from the wind.
You can take a chance that the rain drops will miss you. You can take a chance that your boots will stay dry as you hear the pitter patter of the rain on your tent. You can take a chance that your gear will stay dry sitting outside, and you can take the chance that the wind will not blow any water into your tent getting your sleeping bag wet.
Scout skills. As a scout develops and advances to First class he should be developing sound skills. First Aid, Cooking, Knot tying, and Camp craft. He should begin to become a good (seasoned) camper. The implication here is that he has developed skills that he can put to use in the outdoors, another way of saying he has learned enough to make sound choices.
Seasoned camper know that the experience of camping is better when done right. Just because you are in the heart of the wilderness, you do not have to suffer and be miserable.
Skills like developing a priority of work in camp. Getting the tents set up first, then the cooking area, and constantly improving your campsite. Developing in camp routines, like keeping all your gear in the backpack until you need an item. Packing your backpack so as to have easy access to the stuff you need. Putting your sleeping back in its stuff sack when not in use, creating a campsite that meets the needs of the task and the comfort of the patrol.
By the time a Scout is First class he should know these things and demonstrate them on a consistant basis. This is Scouting. All of this teaches the Scout to make sound decisions and choices that not only effect him, but others. It teaches and reinforces responsibility. It develops an attitude of caring for himself and his gear and working and living in a small group.
It is a good idea to develop these skills early before bad habits settle in. Breaking a bad habit may never happen in the life span of a Scouts stay in Scouting.
Of note: It is important that the Adults in the group develop and demonstrate the same skill sets. It is not ok for the Adult leaders to teach one thing and do another.
Making the Choice to be a Good camper is a heck of a lot better than leaving your camping experience to chance. The right Scout Skills, practiced with consistency will help you in that endeavor.
Happy Scouting!

Friendly Fires Late Night Tales preview
Sugardaddy - How Long (Tensnake Remixes)
Metronomy Late Night Tales (Late Night Tales)
Release Date: 3rd September 2012
Format: CD / 2 x LP / Digital
Acclaimed pop experimentalists Metronomy compile the latest Late Night Tales, the third of 2012 and 29th in the decade long series.
Metronomy, the effective alias of the talented Joseph Mount, have thus far released three albums, starting with the jagged electro manoeuvres of their debut Pip Paine (Pay The £5000 You Owe), through to their two albums on Because, Nights Out, where Mount first sang, and last years brilliant Mercury-nominated The English Riviera.
As a pop group, Metronomy are more Four Tet than Fab Four, though with a sense of adventure that wouldve made the Fabs proud. Their outing under the Late Night Tales banner journeys through the inspirations of the bands ever moving sound along with a few surprises.
Mounts old favourite Autechre is present and correct, but then so are Kate and Anna McGarrigle and the Sun Ra of hip hop Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Joining Sa-Ra on the hip hop front, weve got Tweets ace Drunk from her Hummingbird album alongside OutKast Prototype, spiced with some Doctor Octagon.
For pure pop, they dont come more refined than Alan Parsons Eye In The Sky, who is buffeted by outbreaks of unsettling weirdness, among them the sadly departed Mick Karns supple bass figurines on Weather The Windmill or Tontos Expanding Head Band the guys that brought the funk to synthesizers with Stevie Wonder and Cybernaut. And just when you think youve got it figured, Pete Drake arrives with his 1964 pedal steel novelty hit Forever. This is a maze rather than a journey.
Naturally enough, there is the Late Night Tales special with a sparkling Metronomy rendition of Jean-Michel Jarres Hypnose. Weve always had a soft spot for Devon and her cobbled street delights, but seen through the prism of Joseph Mount, it takes on a new hue that makes Brigitte Bardot and that other, lesser, Riviera seem somehow pallid. To paraphrase Buzzcocks: another music in a different riviera.

IDT (InSync Dance Theatre), an affiliate company of the department of dance at Hope College, will be performing by invitation on Saturday, April 19, at the Dance Michigan: Choreographers' Showcase in Saline sponsored by the Ann Arbor Civic Ballet in celebration of Michigan Dance Day.
During the event, dancers will join together to perform works by both experienced and emerging choreographers that reflect the diversity and creativity in dance. Styles performed will range from ballet to belly dance.
Participating artists come from companies, colleges and studios from throughout Michigan. In addition to IDT, groups participating include: Ann Arbor Civic Ballet; Lansing Chamber Dance; UM Dance Department; and Unveiled Dance Company.
IDT will present "Zion's Road Sings & Mourns," an orchestrated tap work layering the dynamics of rhythm dance with the imagery of Greek iconography. Dancers create complex foot music as they tell the story of choosing a journey that leads into light. The work premiered in Holland during the Dance 32 concert at Hope in March 2006 and was presented in July 2007 at the Orthodox Academy of Crete - Greece.
The performers will include four Hope students--senior Robyn Anderson of St. Helens, Ore.; senior Carolyn Brandis of Gansevoort, N.Y.; senior Pamela Rexius of Milford; and sophomore Lacey Williams of Ithaca--and Rosanne Barton-DeVries, who is director of IDT and a lecturer in the college's department of dance.
In addition to performing, Barton-DeVries will also present "becoming rhythm," a six-minute improvography exploring the "story" of building foot music.

The Partnership in Education Program (PEP) gives students, who otherwise wouldn't have the chance, an opportunity to live and learn about the marine sciences. But the Partnership wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the very special partnership between Ambrose Gerald, a 33 year veteran at Woods Hole's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and George Liles, director of the Woods Hole aquarium.
In this Naturally Speaking George and Ambrose discuss how their friendship provides a model for their diversity program. And how they sometimes have to divide up responsibilities by race.

Taqueria La Familia has replaced the former Shaan India Palace in east Tupelo.
The Mexican restaurant has been open for about three weeks and serves "authentic Mexican" fare.
The menu is in Spanish, but you'll find tacos, antojitos (street food), huaraches (a type of flat, pancake), burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, mariscos (seafood), combination platters and other goodies.
Just a sampling of the tacos, the fillings include asada (grilled beef), chicken, adobada (marinated pork), chorizo, lengua (beef tongue), tripe and cabeza (meat from the roasted head of an animal, usually beef).
Yep, sounds authentic to me.
The location, is 2810 Highway 178 East, in the Skyline community. A buffet is available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., but it wasn't available when we checked in earlier today.
You can call ahead if you'd like at (662) 269-2508.

Printing with Light

License: CC BY-NC 3.0
This pretty blue picture would not have been possible without electromagnetic waves from the sun. The energy of sunlight was used to produce the image on sun-sensitive paper. The picture was created by Anna Atkins, a British scientist who was the first female photographer.
News You Can Use
- The picture above was made with the help of electromagnetic waves called ultraviolet light. These waves have shorter wavelengths, higher frequencies, and more energy than visible light, which is the light we can see.
- Because of their high energy levels, ultraviolet waves can cause chemical reactions. The chemical reactions they cause on special sun-sensitive paper or fabrics produce images like the one above.
- You can learn how to make your own designs with UV light on sun-sensitive fabric with the slideshow at this URL: http://www.gardendesign.com/how-to/diy-sunprint
Can You Apply It
Learn more about Anna Atkins and using ultraviolet light to make prints at the links below. Then answer the questions that follow.

- http://www.getty.edu/art/gettyguide/artMakerDetails?maker=1542&page=1
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Atkins
- What is a cyanotype?
- What chemicals are used to create cyanotypes? How are they added to the paper or fabric?
- Why is ultraviolet light needed to create a cyanotype? What role does it play in the process?
- It takes varying amounts of exposure time to UV light to make a cyanotype. What factors influence the amount of exposure time needed?
- Why must you rinse the paper or fabric with cold water as soon as the print is made?
- Outline the steps you would take to make a leaf pattern on sun-sensitive fabric.
- Who was Anna Atkins? How did she use cyanotypes? Why was her use of cyanotypes so important?

Correia shuts down Rangers in Twins' win
Morneau hits two-run homer in seventh in 5-0 win
MINNEAPOLIS - Twins 5, Rangers 0: Kevin Correia threw eight shutout innings and host Minnesota handed Texas consecutive losses for the first time this season.
Correia (3-1) allowed six hits while throwing at least seven innings for the fifth consecutive start to begin the season. Justin Morneau had two hits, including a two-run homer in the sixth, and Brian Dozier and Jamey Carroll each contributed two hits and an RBI for the Twins.
Texas starter Alexi Ogando (2-2) pitched six innings, allowing three runs and four hits. Mitch Moreland and Leonys Martin had two hits each for the Rangers, who were the only team in the majors that had not lost two in row.
The Rangers put their first two batters on base in the fourth before Correia retired the 4-5-6 hitters. They couldn't take advantage of two more singles in the fifth and Correia settled back in and retired 11 of the final 12 batters he faced.
The Twins broke through in the fourth when Josh Willingham walked, moved to third on a single to right by Morneau and came home on a sacrifice fly by Chris Parmelee. They increased their lead to 3-0 in the sixth when Willingham walked with two out and Morneau followed with a home run to right.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Rangers had eight runners thrown out on the basepaths in the four-game series. … The Rangers finished 4-3 on their road trip and began a six-game homestand Tuesday against the Chicago White Sox, with the Boston Red Sox following them into town. … The Twins, who have had three weather postponements at their stadium this season, embark on a 10-day road trip beginning Monday against the Detroit Tigers.

It prints numbers correctly if I give it the correct base input.
So somehow it's just not handling the strings I'm trying to feed it properly.
At this point I have determined that there is a problem somehow with the lcd screen.

So this just happened this morning.
I think this is the best footage I have ever seen (has ever been recorded?) of a meteor entering the atmosphere. Hooray for cheap, modern technology!
It's amazing that the shockwave was able to break windows below and even collapse the roof of a factory, considering the trajectory probably went 20km or something above the ground! EDIT: 30-50km
I hope the people injured recover quickly, all the best wishes to them.
Edit: As Milcho pointed out, that was actually a meteor. Meteorites are the ones actually hitting the ground

Kawasaki disease is a rare condition that involves inflammation of the blood vessels. It occurs in children.
Mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome; Infantile polyarteritis
Kawasaki disease occurs most often in Japan, where it was first discovered. The disease occurs more often in boys than in girls. Most of the children who develop this condition are younger than age 5.
Kawasaki disease is not well understood and the cause is yet unknown. It may be an autoimmune disorder. The problem affects the mucus membranes, lymph nodes, walls of the blood vessels, and the heart.
Kawasaki disease often begins with a fever of 102 °F or higher that does not go away. The fever is often as high as 104 °F. A fever lasting at least 5 days is a common sign of the disorder. The fever may last for up to 2 weeks. The fever often does not come down with normal doses of acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen.
Other symptoms often include:
Additional symptoms may include:
Tests alone cannot diagnose Kawasaki disease. Most of the time, the doctor will diagnose the disease when the patient has most of the common symptoms.
In some cases, a child may have a fever that lasts more than 5 days, but not all the common symptoms of the disease. These children may be diagnosed with atypical Kawasaki disease.
All children with fever lasting more than 5 days should be seen by a health care provider to be checked for Kawasaki disease. Children with the disease need early treatment for a good outcome.
The following tests may be done:
Tests such as ECG and echocardiography are done to look for signs of
Children with Kawasaki disease need hospital treatment. Treatment must be started right away to prevent damage to the coronary arteries and heart.
Intravenous gamma globulin is the standard treatment. It is given in high doses. The child's condition often gets much better within 24 hours of treatment with IV gamma globulin.
High-dose aspirin is often given along with IV gamma globulin.
Even with standard treatment, up to 1 in 4 children may still develop problems in their coronary arteries. Some research suggests that adding steroids or TNF inhibitors such as Enbrel to the treatment routine may help. However, there still needs to be better tests to tell which children will benefit from added forms of treatment.
Most children can recover fully when the disease is caught and treated early. About 1 in 100 patients die from heart problems caused by the disease. People who have had Kawasaki disease should have an echocardiogram every 1 - 2 years to screen for heart problems.
Kawasaki disease can cause inflammation of blood vessels in the arteries, especially the coronary arteries. This can lead to aneurysm. Rarely, it can lead to a heart attack at a young age or later in life.
Call your health care provider if symptoms of Kawasaki disease develop. An ongoing high fever that does not come down with acetaminophen or ibuprofen and lasts more than 24 hours should be checked by a health care provider.
There are no known ways to prevent this disorder.

Grado GR8 In-Ear Headphones
" I love the full size grado HF2 and older grado's but these do not sound good to my ears. Strident and uneven. These were not lovingly crafted or dialed in. There was no 'man' behind the tuning of these and this is evident in the final product.

Coming to Dallas: a chopped salad tsunami?
This morning, after reading a story from yesterday's New York Times about chopped salads taking over lunch in the Northeast, I posted a link to it on my Facebook page, along with a comment that said "How many minutes before this happens in Dallas?"
"The answer is about five minutes," came the email shortly thereafter. Publicist Cynthia Smoot tells me her client Bread Zeppelin: Salads Elevated plans to open a restaurant in Irving next month, mid-August. "The concept," she writes "is 40 ingredients; 20 dressings; mix it up! After you choose from their list of fresh ingredients, they chop it up fast with their mezzaluna knife, dress it and serve it to you in either a bowl or our trademark Zeppelin." The restaurant's bread, she adds, was developed for them by Empire Bakery.
I do love a good chopped salad; I enjoyed one I had recently at Jasper's, the Plano restaurant that's the subject of this week's review. It'll be interesting to see if (and when) we get a chopped salad tsunami.

I still need Jodo Kast.
I still need Jodo Kast.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
dude, I've been to at least 10 stores and haven't even seen a trace of wave 3. Nada
Wave 3 hit Burbank Target for three days in a row last week- not a trace since then.
No one missed anything this morning at Target as usual......
Glendale Target had nada today at 8:30. CP pegs still barren but for Luke/Deena (which was actually on a Joe comic pack peg...), no BPs or Evo/Legacy sets. Pretty full pegs of three lines' worth of Wave 1s, as usual for most stores I visit.
At Toys R Us, I got the Lars Homestead diorama = $49.99
The Galactic Heroes AT-RT set = $24.99
and the Galactic Heroes Rancor Monster set = $24.99.
I will keep my Lars Homestead unopened, thus I may be able to return it within the next 89 days with my receipt.
It was the only one they had, so I followed "the rules" and bought it as soon as I saw it - with the return clause in place to protect me in case I decide it isn't worth it.
The 1998 and 1999 Owen and Beru were excellent paint jobs though - even though I have 2 of each of these figures already. (Why I may not keep this set).
With AOTC Owen and Beru rumored for 2009, they may one day re-box this set with the figures I actually DO want, too. But for now, I'll hold out, having already purchased it (if I decide I want to keep it).
I'll spend some time also thinking about how good of job I might do recreating this set piece myself - and whether I even need Hasbro's.
Yeah, TRU exclusives are not likely to make clearance sales.
Rebelscum has pics up of the loose Lars Homestead and a review of sorts.
It inspired me - to very seriously consider returning this and not thinking twice about it.
Later on, I might buy it if the set were to include the Young Lars figures - maybe. I could make this about as good as Hasbro can, but by doing it myself. I'm glad I bought it for the time being, as I can study how to best recreate it - probably from foam cuts I buy at an art supply store, and maybe disposeable plastic cereal bowls, with some paper mache' and stucco paint application.
Hide it, Post it, and PM it.

From cocktails to entrées to dessert, savor a whole menu full of flavor.
Try all 7 of our Pepper Sauce Flavors.
Back in 1868, Edmund McIlhenny experimented with pepper seeds from Mexico (or somewhere in Central America) to create his own style of Louisiana hot sauce – our Original Red Sauce. Since then we've continued this tradition of exploration and experimentation, and today McIlhenny Company crafts seven unique and distinct flavors of sauce, each with its own variety of deliciousness. From mild to wild, there's something for everyone!
Can't find one of the pepper sauces in our Family of Flavors® at your local grocery? Buy them online, with lots of sizes to choose from (even a gallon jug!) at the TABASCO® Country Store.
More information about our Pepper Sauce flavors: Original Red, Green Jalapeño, Chipotle, Buffalo Style, Habanero, Garlic Pepper and SWEET & Spicy.
Like the drink's original 1930s recipe:
our sauce plus other authentic ingredients.
TABASCO® Bloody Mary Mixes (Mildly Seasoned or Extra Spicy) are the only Bloody Mary Mixes made with TABASCO® Sauce. The same inimitable sauce used in America's original Bloody Mary recipe, created at the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis in New York. So our mixes have the same kick that New Yorkers enjoyed in the 1930s!
And our mixes are still made from high-quality ingredients. No preservatives, stabilizers or extraneous flavorings: just the fresh, great-tasting essentials.
That's why in addition to making the quintessential Bloody Mary, these non-alcoholic mixes can be enjoyed straight as a healthy morning breakfast drink.
Need some inspiration to liven up your signature recipe? Browse our Bloody Mary recipes. Cheers!
Even our salt has that unique peppery punch!
Good news: we don't just make pepper sauces. In fact, there is a delicious assortment of TABASCO® marinades and condiments, all spiced with our unique peppery flavor. We even make our own Spiced Salt!
Enhance the flavor of meats with our savory steak & marinating sauces. Taste exotic spices in our Caribbean Style Steak Sauce. Prefer a classic steak sauce sauce, with added flavor and heat? Pick up some TABASCO® brand Steak Sauce.
Imagine your other favorite condiments kicked up a notch. TABASCO® brand condiments include ketchup, mayo, mustard, barbecue sauce—even soy and teriyaki sauces. They make it easy to bring the TABASCO® flavor you love to most everything you eat! So why not make it all delicious?
Taste how we improve everything we pair with.
Some foods just require Original Red Sauce flavor, and chili is one of them. Jump-start your next pot with our surefire Chili Starter. No one will know because it'll taste like homemade. Just add browned ground beef and your other favorite chili ingredients.
Who likes bland and boring salsa? Not us! That's why we pack flavor galore into our salsas. Nor does one flavor fit all, so they're available in mild, spicy and chipotle flavors.
We also know how to garnish: a spicy pickle alongside a plated po-boy or a spicy bean in a Bloody Mary cocktail. Perk up any meal with delicious spicy olives, pickles, beans, jalapeño slices and, of course, a local favorite—okra. All made with the finest ingredients and perfectly spiced.
Think we can't do sweet? Think again! Our cinnamon candies pop with a little extra punch. Visit Avery Island, Louisiana, and we'll serve you some ice cream spiced ever so lightly with Pepper Sauce flavor, or buy your own ice cream mix online. And our pepper jellies are a festive combination of sweet and spicy. Who knew we could kick up sweets with such delicious results?
We also team up with other food makers and spice a variety of foods with TABASCO® flavor. You'll find our singular sizzle in Jelly Bellies®, Hot & Spicy Cheez-its®, Slim Jims, Sachs Peanuts and even SPAM®!

New to the hobby, in MD
Hello everyone. I'm very new to the hobby, me and my daughter got our first tank about three weeks ago. I have a 20gal high tank, and we currently have 3 Green barbs, 3 Tiger barbs, and two salt and pepper catfish in the tank.
I'm having some issues getting the tank cycled, I know I've overloaded the tank with fish, so I'm playing catchup. I ordered two sponges from angelsfish yesterday to help speed up the tank cycle process.
I have had to take one of the fish back, a tiger barb, who was being a bully to all the other fish in the tank. As for his replacement, shes doing pretty good so far. Shes still finding her place in the school, but the overall hostilities in the tank have greatly decreased, and a few of the other fish are no longer stressed out.
Hello and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. Do you have a liquid test kit to check your status on the cycle? I would suggest using Seachem Prime to detoxify ammonia and nitrite until the tank has completed cycling.
Prime and an API Master Test Kit should be the next two purchases you make. Will save you $ in the long run. I'd recommend having a tiger barb only tank.
Good luck, and enjoy the hobby

I already have the API Master Test Kit, and I have the water declorinator stuff that came with the tank. I've been running water tests about ever other day. My Nitrites and Nitrates have either been 0 or slightly elevated. Though I have been keeping a close eye on the ammonia levels. They have been hanging around .25, but I had to do a water change the other day, as they shot up to .5
I have a secondary 10g tank right now to get the water ready for water changes, and to use as a sick tank. I got it because of the aggressive barb I had. I removed him to help calm the main tank down. It helped, but about 10 minutes after returning him back to the main tank, he started back up.
You should check which dechlorinator you have as some are just that (remove chlorine/chloramine) while other such as Prime also detoxify ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Are you on city water? If so, do they use chlorine or chloramine? If they use chloramine, a normal dechlorinator will simply break the chlorine-ammonia bond and remove chlorine but leave you with toxic ammonia. And you should also test your tap water for ammonia.

I have well water. When I did the test off the well, it was pretty clean.
I'll have to check the bottle to see if it does more then just break down the additives to the water. I did pick up a secondary ammonia treatment, so I have been using that. I have live plants in the tank as well, hoping they can get a footing, and help as well.

I'm new to using Arduinos and I'm looking for the perfect book to help me.
I love reading Arduino books and I've learn a lot of things. I'm also taking online courses now and I know my Arduino learning will help my business soon.
Any book good for professional C++ programmer ?
This is an introductory book to programming and computer science using assembly language. It assumes the reader has never programmed before, and introduces the concepts of variables, functions, and flow control. The reason for using assembly language is to get the reader thinking in terms of how the computer actually works underneath. Knowing how the computer works from a "bare-metal" standpoint is often the difference between top-level programmers and programmers who can never quite master their art.

Looking for a delicious Halloween dessert? Then check out this creative ghost cupcake made using Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix and semisweet chocolate chips.
The fondant is very forgiving and can be pinched back together if it tears.
Be sure to use extra powdered sugar for your hands and the work surface as you are working with the fondant to avoid sticking.
You can make the cupcake cones and press out the fondant up to a day ahead. (Be sure to keep the fondant tightly covered to keep it from drying out.) Wait until just before serving to drape fondant over cone; otherwise, it will stretch and sag over time (especially in warm temperatures).
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Where I stayed
By The Sea Port Douglas
Read my review - 5/5 stars
Read my review - 5/5 stars
It's amazing what the thought of crocodiles can do. Apparently it can get you out of bed early enough to get to the airport for a peak-hour flight, have your bags properly packed (as opposed to our experience going to the Barossa) and not making strange postal orders at the airport! What a success!
Clearing through security, we had time to check out the Qantas Heritage Museum which is actually strangely quite interesting. Zipping three hours north, we touched down at Cairns and made a beeline for our transport to Port Douglas... a minibus! We quickly realised that we should have taken the same approach as we did in the Barossa and hired a car for several days. Oops! Considering that Port Douglas is a hub of tropical activities - and is one of the best launch points for the reef - we simply took the option of transfers. These were not bad at all, and hey, it's always nice being driven around, but the little minibus took a little longer than we thought and spotting some amazing coastline and excellent places to visit along the way, a car of our own would have been much better!
We checked into our accommodation, 'By the Sea', in the early afternoon, and were pretty excited to see that it lived up to all our expectations! While researching options in Port Douglas, this jumped out and seemed just brilliant. It was super reasonable, newly outfitted apartments with little kitchens and even more exciting - awesome communal BBQ areas! If you so required, they would hand out beach towels, fun beach equipment, eskies (cooler boxes), boogie boards... everything!
But before any of that fun stuff, there was something serious to attend to. We were hungry! Any time approaching mid-afternoon in a country town is a danger zone as far as food outlets are concerned, so we grabbed some tips from our reception desk and made our way into the main strip of Port Douglas. They told us to head towards the wharf where one bar (On the Inlet) would offer a decent menu from 4pm - perfect. It also happened to be one of the places Matt told us we had to go to, because they feed George, the giant local groper at 5pm every evening. Sold! We tucked into a snack and then watched the great spectacle provided by the bar staff.
They lure George with fish carcasses from the kitchen, and the odd huge fish head, all placed on the end of a rope. After 10 minutes or so of trying to get George interested in their offerings, he finally surfaced! Via that huge rope they pull him to the surface for a minute or so, giving everyone a glimpse at George in all his glory!
From there we wandered to the local supermarket to grab some stocks for the evening, for we were going to barbeque! Then it was back to our apartment for the next instalment of Masterchef, before our very own masterchef tended the steaks on the barbie for a hugely delicious meal!
Our focal point for the visit to Port Douglas was to be a trip out to the Great Barrier Reef to snorkel amongst the coral. Through our wanderings on Monday evening we managed to book that in for Wednesday (our preferred boat was sold out for Tuesday!) and then worked out other activities to fill the other days. Up the top of the list were Hartley's Adventures - a wildlife park with a particular focus on the local crocs - along with nearby Mossman Gorge and exploring the coastline. We really needed a car for these! So we wandered about 200m down the road from our hotel and grabbed a car for the day. Too easy!
It was a terrifically relaxed day. We wandered through the town, checking out our dining and entertainment options for the evening (at the top of the list was cane toad racing at the Ironbar and again, another tip from Matt!), browsing some of the stores and wandering down to the beach for lunch - some rather delicious leftovers from our barbie the day before! Erin was particularly careful to declare the beach free of crocs before we sat down to our gourmet steak sandwiches!
In the early afternoon we headed south to Hartley's, in time to catch the main event: their Crocodile Attack show at 3pm. We raced in ahead of a recently pulled-up bus tour and with a good hour to spare we wandered around the grounds. In what is (we think!) an old farm, the wildlife park has a series of enclosures for a huge amount of salt water crocodiles - some absolutely enormous! Many had been retrieved from farms or populated areas where they began to take a liking to snacking on cows and sometimes people!
We took the obligatory boat ride around the man-made lagoon to see a bunch of crocs being fed - it's completely entertaining to see the power with which they roar out of the water! We then hustled down to the little arena where they hold the croc attack show, gaining front row seats.
The show itself was hilarious, all dedicated to how dangerous crocs are, how they attack, and what to do if you happen upon one. Handy information! It was a double act, with the senior croc attack expert attempting to train the other staff member in the ways of the croc attack show. Serious business. The croc expert ran backwards and forwards across a pond in front of a 5m beast sprouting off facts, and luring it into attack mode with rough bits of cow, before the grand finale - getting him to do a death roll. So, the basic facts are: stay away from them! Especially the pointy end.
We drove back to Port Douglas, stopping off at a lookout to see some hangliders in action, before getting stuck into the serious business of the evening: Cane Toad Racing! The Ironbar is the classic pub location in town - a newish bar in comparison with the beautiful old Queenslander pubs, and built for the enjoyment of the tourists. We could imagine just how much fun it would be in peak season with our little taster!
The whole point of holding these races is to let tourists know a little about the awful menace of the toad. It was introduced in North Queensland some time ago in the hope that they would knock out the cane sugar beetle. Unfortunately the toads who were proven to eat the beetle in the lab couldn't, in reality, climb up the top of the sugar cane to reach it! So it never managed to eat any beetles, but had a right party down the base of the cane and bred like there's no tomorrow. So now they're the greatest pest in Northern Australia with pretty much no predators (they're a wee bit poisonous) and a will to hop throughout all the warmer bits.
We arrived early and gained pole position at the races, paid our $5 entry and learnt the rules: the race master draws a raffle and five winning ticket holders become cane toad jockeys for the first race, and for the second he auctions off positions. Fun stuff! Those lucky enough to assume jockey status were handed out their toads and on the blow of the whistle, had to encourage them to hop from one side of the table to the other, with the aid of a party blower as a whip. It became quickly apparent that once released, they jump any where they like and Erin was extremely quick to jump up from the couch we were sitting on to stand up on its furtherst point so as to avoid any situation that would involve toad-meeting-feet.
We didn't score any jockey rights (to be honest, the small Australian would have forfeited them immediately, since it involved holding and kissing the toad) but it was a huge amount of fun. At the end of the evening, the cane toad master let people hold his treasures, and while squirming, the tour guide managed to snap a few pics of the tourist getting up close and personal with the introduced wildlife.
Next up, the usual search for something delicious to eat! Port Douglas is one of those ideal holiday spots - awesome location with loads of great things to do and see, and packed with fantastic restaurants and bars. However, as we keep discovering, it of course runs at country hours! We'd deliberated for a while as to what to eat (do we do some of the great looking Italians? the awesome seafood spots? the tapas and wine bar? and the burgers and steak at Ironbar did look fabulous) and thought we'd take a little side-step and try the cute-looking Mexican restaurant in the middle of the high street. Popping in at 9pm, we didn't realise how lucky we were that they were still serving, and only just at that!
We ordered hastily and hungrily, and were pretty pleased with what came up! Some of it was terrific, some of it was a bit..unexciting! Nevertheless, we were happily fed and wandered on to the Central Hotel which seemed to be the most happening place in town. The conundrum about Port Douglas is that while the restaurants close early, everything else is open as long as there are people interested! The Central became our location of choice for our stay, and indeed it was brilliant - mostly for us because it was playing the French Open tennis on a big screen out in the beer garden! It's a pretty cool place - they show free movies every night (Grease and Mamma Mia seem to be on a recurring list) but is a great mix of locals and tourists. After watching Nadal in fine form we called it a night, ready to take to the reef in the morning!

By Grace L. Williams
When the new budget cut proposals came down earlier this week from the Obama administration, many were left with more questions than answers about the fate of certain organizations.
That includes the military, where the new budget looks to cut projected military spending by $150 billion over the next decade, alongside $487 billion in cuts already set to take place.
In a recent article the Wall Street Journal pointed out one tiny issue with the new budget's shortcomings:
[It] doesn't factor in the impact of the across-the-board spending cuts known as the sequester that require the Defense Department to reduce its current-year budget by as much as $41 billion—and by $500 billion over the next 10 years.
In that spirit, we naturally, wondered how all this budgetary newness will play into defense companies and what analysts think about all of it.
Before we go any further, it's absolutely worth it to point out that while the S&P 500 has recently cruised to record highs and is up more than 11% this year, defense stocks have lagged: Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NOC) and General Dynamics (GD) have seen 2013 of gains of 4.5%, 5.8% and 1.1%, respectively. Raytheon (RTN) is up less than 1% this year. Clearly the sequester and general budget cut fears have hurt the sector.
Getting back to the analysts, three of them this week weighed in with sector notes and we couldn't help but feel a prevailing sense of uncertainty. Highlights include Robert Stallard of RBC, who remained Underweight on the sector, and wrote
Defense CEOs remain cautious of making acquisitions when there is no clarity on the length and scale of the Department of Defense budget cuts ahead. Visibility on the trough, even if a few years out, would at least give both investors and companies an idea of the 'worst case', and allow for rational investment decisions. However, as seen with the fiscal 2014 request, the current farcical U.S. budget 'process' gives is no clarity on where defense spending is heading.
We also turned to Peter Arment of Sterne, Agee & Leach when he weighed in:
This fiscal 2014 budget still does not address the impact of sequestration which Congress will need to strike a deal on in order to avoid the mandated $55 billion cut. The ability to strike a deal and avoid the sequester was proven to be too high a hurdle in the first place. Now with the White House's fiscal budget proposing additional taxes and social spending the battle will become even more complex.
While it ain't looking pretty out there, William Loomis of Stifel Nicolaus chose a silver(ish) lining with upcoming company-specific forecasts in light of the confusing new budget:
Winners include Lockheed Martin with support of most of its major programs, General Dynamics with support on key ship and ground vehicle programs, Raytheon with missile programs and missile defense support and Orbital Sciences (ORB) with stable year-over-year budgets at NASA and support for commercial cargo and Earth Sciences funding.
To be sure, it's a muddy picture. But though the big question marks still loom and companies and investors continue to wait, we, too found something a little more positive: The folks over at Wired have written an article that focuses on six weapons that "love the new Pentagon budget," including a "tank that swims." Enjoy!


text: While a friend was over the other night at my house he noticed my Jabba's Skiff Guards Cinema Scene on display. He read the names Klatuu, Barada, and Nikto and said that these were from the Army of Darkness starring Kevin Sorbo. I think he said they were the magic words he uttered. I unfortunately have not had the privilege of seeing this movie (*cough, cough*). Can anyone shed some light on this reference?

I just got back from seeing the movie Signs and I was treated to the trailer for the 10th Star Trek movie NEMESIS. First off let me say that I am a ST fan but think the majority of the movies are somewhat lacking. Don't get me wrong I enjoy them all but I expect more from a movie than just a dressed up 2 hr. episode of the Next Generation.
I think this movie is going to be the one fans like myself have been waiting for. First off it looks EXTREMELY DARK, and the new race of villans look like they're straight out of the movie Dark City.
From the looks of it I'd say there is a large amount of action and without giving to much away I'd say some self sacrifice on the part of the crew. Since this is the final voyage of this crew I'd expect some major shakeups and dare I say it DEATH.:dead: Not since The Wrath of Khan have I been this excited about a ST movie and I have a feeling most of you will agree once you have a chance to view this trailer. If you have seen it already or want to comment on anything I've mentioned here post a reply I'm curious to see what evryone thinks.:)

It's been discussed elsewhere, but I wanted to start a thread for the new animated project since a few hints have been dropped lately.
A little over a week ago on May 6, Dave Filoni posted this sketch of TIE fighters hanging from cranes, with the caption, "Its hard to believe that I have worked at Lucasfilm almost eight years, and this is the first time I have ever gotten to draw a TIE fighter." StarWars.com later used this other TIE drawing on its 404 pages, with Dave's Plo Kool seal of approval. Unlike the first image, it shows the wings at their proper sizes.
This short video was recently posted on Vine, showing Dave opening a vintage TIE Fighter in what looks to be a Lucasfilm office, saying it's for research. TheForce.net pointed out a number of possible Easter eggs in the video, including the fact that the desktop has a link to a Star Wars Blog post with Aurebesh writing over an X-wing targeting system. The post itself says, "In those first dark days it seemed certain the bright flame would be extinguished before it cast the light of new truth." This is adapted from the prologue of the original ANH novelization, presented as coming from the Journal of the Whills. The Aurebesh reads, "STRIKING FIRST SO YOU CAN'T STRIKE BACK." Oddly, the post is titled May 20, 2009, so I'm thinking it's a fake date to bury the post, meant only to be accessible thanks to the Vine video. The source code indicates that the image includes "2013/05" in its title, indicating that it's a new page as of sometime this month.
The rest of the TFN article is wild speculation that may or may not mean anything, but it also points out that Leland Chee Tweeted on May 5, "I have the first line of the opening crawl for The Empire Strikes Back stuck in my head." Of course, the first line is, "It is a dark time for the Rebellion."
Additional clues point to Gargoyles creator and Young Justice producer Greg Weisman being involved. Much like The Clone Wars, Young Justice was recently cancelled, so this is very possible.
Obviously these all lead one to believe that the new animated series would involve the Rebellion and the Empire, most likely taking place between ROTS and ANH - or maybe even between ANH and ESB, given the few ESB nods. I hope it's during the "dark times" for a number of reasons, from the fact that it's still woefully unexplored to the fact that the seemingly defunct live-action show was to be set in this period to the fact that it could just as easily pull characters from the PT or the OT even more than TCW did. Above all else, it's exciting that it might not be set too far after TCW, meaning that we would hopefully be able to follow up on characters from TCW - Ahsoka, Rex, Maul, Ventress, and Boba Fett would be very welcome, and it might have strong involvement from Saw Gerrera and Lux Bonteri. Characters like Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, and Tarkin could easily play large roles here as well. And designer Kilian Plunkett appears with Dave and Pablo Hidalgo in the video, indicating that he's staying on board to help design the new series - so hopefully they also utilize some of the great writers and voice actors from TCW.
I assume more will be revealed at Celebration Europe II, if not sooner. It's nice to finally have some good news to speculate on for once!

xmmsao 0.5 is now available. The main addition in this release is support for file-output. Unlike xmms-diskwriter, this plugin allows the use of effect plugins on the output.
For version 0.6, I doubt there will be many changes under the hood (the only one I can see at this point is maybe allowing simultaneous disk and live output), but there will probably be a change or two to the configuration dialog, with allowing selection of output file format leading the list.
Getting some type of software premixing is still on the TODO... I haven't forgotten about that!
Writing this has allowed me to see some of the misfeatures of xmms, and given me some ideas for improvements, to wit:
- system-wide default configuration: at this point, the only options for an admin needing to have a custom configuration for multiple users are:
- hacking xmms' source to set different defaults. This is butt-ugly and shouldn't be necessary.
- somehow copying a default configuration file to each user's ~/.xmms directory. This is easy to do for existing users, but requires hacking user creation scripts for new users.
- braindead EQ implementation: xmms leaves application of EQ settings to input plugins, while EQs are more properly the domain of either output or effect plugins. Look at any component system with an equalizer and note that there's one EQ for the entire system, not an EQ for each component. Unfortunately, this braindeadedness [probably] can't readily be fixed without massively changing the output plugin API.
- no support for multiple effect plugins: There is a patch to xmms to allow this, but it requires a change to the way that output plugins are written. It seems to me that a meta-effect plugin (a single effect plugin which does nothing more than run its input through a sequence of other effect plugins) is a much better solution which does not break compatibility. I'll probably start work on this at some point this summer.
