What can you tell me about a dog who has this and has broken out with sores all over the body?
What can you tell me about a dog who has this and has broken out with sores all over the body?
steve becker
Get to the Vet!!!!!! Odds are very good its in the lungs, eye(s), etc. The second you suspect BLASTO meds are needed ASAP!! It's a terrible, cruel disease. I know I lost one to it.

I don't know how the OP could possibly know that the dog has Blasto, if they hadn't already been to the Vet.
We are at vets and am awaiting confirmation of his diagnosis. Is dog at risk of not recovering?
steve becker
Has the dog been diagnosed or are you suspecting Blasto?
If the dog has been diagnosed than I would ask the vet about the sores. If you suspect your dog has it than get it to the vet ASAP!! Have them start meds right then and there even if they argue with you. Blasto manifests itself in many different ways and a lot of vets are not as knowledgeable as we would think on the subject. We lost a dog to this horrible disease three years ago...he ended up also having a tumor on his spine but no one can tell me that he did not have Blasto. It manifested itself in his eye that looked just horrible...he did not show anything in his lungs and the vet didn't check, or treat, for Blasto because of this. His eye had a lot of green, yellow puss and sores around it. He could only walk with assistance and finally his kidneys shut down. We ended up having to put him down and it was an absolute horrible way to die...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver.

Recovery rate is not good. Medications are super expensive. Just lost a dog to this cruel and punishing disease. Most put the dog down to save them from the pain. Ask your vet how advanced it is. Once it hit the nervous system its bad. My prayers go out to you and your dog.

Last week he limped a little and vet treated for sore paw. Last night he started getting sores and growths all over face, skull and is losing hair. Also is too lame to walk. Am awaiting test result on blasto. Hoping there is a better cure today then the was years ago. Prayers are appreciated.
steve becker
Donna is right. I have seen dogs that have shown different outward signs of blast.
all breeds. german Shepard that had that clasic lung -cough. English Setter that had an infection of eyes and swollen mouth lymph nodes and still another with sores that would NOT heal.
I yelled "fire" to all owners of these dogs all died from that lack of early detection .
I board dogs so I see alot of stuff.
Prayers sent for a speedy recovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never confuse activity with success.

Steve if your dog is limping be very careful on how you proceed. As hard as it is take the emotions out of your decision.

Family: Cottidae, Sculpins view all from this family
Description The mottled sculpin, Cottus bairdii, is a freshwater sculpin (family Cottidae) found widely although unevenly throughout North America.
As the name suggests, its coloration is a combination of bars, spots, and speckles randomly distributed. The large pectoral fins are banded. The first dorsal fin is made of slender and somewhat soft spines, and just barely joins with the second dorsal. Maximum length is 15 cm.
It feeds primarily on aquatic insect larvae, but will also eat crustaceans, small fish, fish eggs, and some plant material. In turn, the sculpin is preyed upon by other fish, notably trout. Favored habitat is well-oxygenated and clear water, such as over gravel riffles in mountain streams, springs, and along rocky lake shores.
Spawning takes place during early winter and late spring. The male's head becomes darker, and he selects a protected nest site, such as under a rock or ledge. After courtship, the female enters the nest, turns upside down, and deposits her eggs on the ceiling, where they adhere. Typically several females will deposit eggs in a nest, then the male fertilizes and guards them, fanning the eggs with his pectoral fins.
Mottled sculpin occurrence is discontinuous in its range. It is widespread from the Tennessee River north to Labrador, while separate populations are found in the Missouri River, the Columbia River system in southern Canada, and the Bonneville system of the Great Basin.
Dimensions Up to 4" (10 cm).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, New England, Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada.

A small city, bursting with history and on the doorstep of the snow-capped alps. You'll be greeted with a variety of things to do in Innsbruck as urban city life meets the great outdoors.
Winter sports are a huge part of everyday life in Innsbruck – it takes just twenty minutes to get from the city to the mountain. Take in the panoramic views from the ultra-modern Hungerburg funicular railway or the Bergisel ski jump. Beyond the winter alpine adventures you'll find a city that is rich in tradition and the splendour of a previous time. Embrace the unique culture and lifestyle as the medieval old town meets pulsating pubs and adrenalin-fuelled adventures.
The city offers an abundance of shopping options. Ranging from Kaufhaus Tyrol, a shoppers paradise on six levels that boasts stunning architecture to Spezialitaten aus der Stiftsgasse, an Aladdin's cave of homemade goodies. Tiroler Heimatwerk is great for traditional gifts while Swarovski's flagship store is crammed with sparkling crystal trinkets, ornaments and jewellery.
Innsbruck is brimming with architectural gems that include imperial monuments and contemporary design. Schloss Ambras is a 'must see' attraction which was transformed from a fortress into a palace. See the empty sarcophagus of Emperor Maximilian I at Hofkirche or learn about Tirol's turbulent history at Tirol Panorama.
Modern art has revived 200-year-old Café Munding – enjoy delicious cakes, home-roasted coffee and preserves made from local produce. Papa Joe's will entice you with the spirit of Mexico, whilst elegant Lichtblick boasts panoramic views over Innsbruck. Stop at Italian deli Panino & Co where you can grab a Panini and espresso to go.
Enjoy floor to ceiling views of the city at Bar 360 – it's magical in Winter when the mountains glisten with snow. Or stop at Hofgarten Café, a trendy café-come-bar where you can sip cocktails beneath the stars. Krahvogel is an industrial-style pub with live bands, while Theresienbrau is a lively microbrewery with an impressive beer garden.
Innsbruck has an array of outdoor adventures sitting right on its doorstep. A 20-minute journey can transport you from the centre of the city to the heart of the nearby mountains. Whoosh down Nordpark's ski slopes or pick up supersonic speeds on Igls' bobsled run in winter. And enjoy hiking, cycling, rafting and mountain biking in summer.

Still Madden after all these years
From the opening kick off to last second on the clock you are in control of every foot-plant, cut, and shift, unlocking the agility and explosiveness of the NFL athlete. The raw emotion of football Sunday is brought to life like never before with living sidelines, rich commentary, and thunderous crowds. Madden NFL 25 changes the game forever.
Step onto the gridiron
Madden NFL has never looked so real. See every detail of a player's face, equipment, and clothing. Up to four times the texture resolution breathes new life into stadiums, crowds, the field, and uniforms.
Go in the trenches
What happens on the line is the heart of football, and now it's the foundation of Madden NFL 25. Offensive lineman dynamically shift assignments based on defensive line sets and reset when the D is showing blitz.
Enter the mind of a QB
The new Player Sense feature combines the physical aspects of football with the mental. Players scan the field, anticipate situations before they happen, and maneuver with instincts and awareness.

I can remember coming here as a boy in old wooden boats to be taught by my grandparents and my parents. I'll be 57 this year and I have missed only one year when my daughter Leanne was born. Mutton birding is my life. To me it's a gathering of our fellas where we sit and yarn, we remember and we honour all of those birders who have gone before us. Sometimes I just stand and look out across these beautiful islands remembering my people and I know I'm home. It makes me proud to be a strong Tasmanian black man. This is something that they can never take away from me.

Retrospectives play a very important role, as they are that specifically planned time when the team talks about the feed-forward mechanism, looking at areas of improvements for forthcoming sprints.
1/20/2015 by Hiroshi Hiromoto Nako
A team that commits to an action plan and then executes it could be continuously improving. However, such teams have mentioned to me that they feel that they don't improve or that their retrospectives aren't helping. What's going on?

Culture cannot be built. You can only focus on creating the right conditions for it to flourish. Culture plays a big part in how people perceive and go about their work, and it is a fundamental piece of a successful Agile transformation.

Many of the challenges faced in introducing Agile are actually based in myth rather than reality. You may hear your organization executives or your teams repeating them. Let's take a look at three of those common myths and help you arm yourself with good responses.

|Propwash A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour... good times!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
That is a bit of a tough one. I would guess the motor is fine but would still bring it to a good Yamaha mechanic for a once over. My initial concern would be the fuel. Even with Stabil I wonder if it has gone bad after two years. I would also check the trailer as if it has been sitting on the tires they are probably suffering from some dry rot and have flat spots. Check the bearings etc...as well. As for the value, my understanding is it is a very slow year for boat sales so I am guessing there are some deals to be made. New a few years back that boat was about $25K on a trailer. I would think definitely less than $20K and you may be able to get it for $18K. That is a great and very seaworthy rig you would get a lot of enjoyment out of.
I am looking at a 2003 Parker 18' Center console with a 2002 115 Yamaha 4 stroke with 4-5 hours, also has a heavy duty trailer with spare tire anyone know what its worth?
Also it it was only used once in fresh water 2 years ago and after being winterized has sat since. What concerns should I have?

Yesterdar i arrived home at three. After having dinner we went to the cinema to watch Starsky & Hutcth. Laughter is assured.
Now i've to organize all the photos and start studying for the university because the exams are here.
I've just arrived to Seville. At the end the travel has taken nine hours so i've had time to do such a lot of things. I've taken photos, played with a Sony Clié, adding features to my website and a few more things.
Now i'm going to have dinner with my classmates. I'll write something more tomorrow after sleeping at least eight hours non stop.
Another great day. We've just finished our workshop. We've done the presentation with OpenOffice Impress and now it can be downloaded from my website. After finishing a person who stayed in Malaga has given us a dvd with all the conference recorded. Cool! Really thanks. Now i can show the video everyone and say "i was there". I must go to Richard Stallman's conference. I'm late.
Today has (is) being a great day. We've woke up at half past eight. After having breakfast we've gone to the congress for taking the credential.
The first talk has been the presentation. Just after that we've visited all the stands: Novell, Hp, GuadaLinex, Linex and more.
At two o'clock we've had the lunch. We've had the pleasure of sharing the table with Jon "Maddog". He has showed us his digital camera, mp3 and the most incredible thing his pda. A Zaurus one with Gnu/Linux inside. Cool! I've bee talking with him about Mono, Gtk/Qt, SuSe and the differences between free (freedom) software and free (cero euros :D) software. After that we've gone to a Debian talk. The conference about Mono from Novell was completely full.
Now we're going to a talk from "El Corte Inglés". It's interesting for giving them the curriculums and, the most important, charging the laptop battery.
After several tryings to improve my php-mysql based blog i've decided to move to advogato. It's easy and cool.
Next week i'm travelling to Valencia for "I Congreso de Software Libre". We'll talk about Xbox Linux. I'll stay there from Wednesday until Saturday.

We definately need a new Snowtrooper.
With Soft goods, and with maybe a correct size E-web blaster, cause the one with the deluxe Snowy was a little big wasn't it? Or not?

I'm sure we'll get one soon. Hasbro has made up for the POTF2 versions of the Stormtrooper, Sandtrooper, and Biker Scout with all new versions. And soon we'll be getting the AOTC's Guard that can take the place of the POTF2 Royal Guard. So, I expect to see a new Snowtrooper next year. It was originally rumored that we would get one last year, but I think that it was delayed and the Sandtrooper took it's place. We'll get one soon though, I just know it. Oh, and I don't think the E-Web blaster was out of scale to much. Looks good with my Snowtrooper squad.

Definitely will need some knee articulation on it so it can interact with the E-web cannon if you want it too, also some elbow articulation, not swivel though, some real elbow articulation.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
Actually the leaked reports from Hasbro about the stuff they had planned or in development had the snowtrooper being released in the first quarter of this year. Supposedly January. But if they shelved him for a later date it's likely he'll be in the classic assortment for the third quarter. Hasbro have taken the army builders thing pretty seriously so far so as he's the only Imperial trooper who hasn't been done to scale so far (barring a new death star trooper without silly running pose) What's the betting he shows up real soon. Hopefully without the cast iron solid shirt tail thing at the back. I thought the POTF one was okay but way too tall. They'll just have to scale him down to commtech stormie height and he'll fit right in. Commtech stormie articulation would be nice but heck, I'd just settle for a scale version in a neutral pose.
Scooobydoo, where are you!!!
I'm happy with the Snowtroopers we have. But I certainly would welcome new ones!
"Maybe I can help you. I am Boba Fett. The ship you seek is nearby." -Boba Fett
I for one am ALL for new Imperial Bad guys!!! I would like to see:
Snowtrooper (soft goods and knee, elbow, and shoulder articulation)
TIE Fighter Pilot (QUALIY plasitc, knee, elbow articulation MINIMUM)
Death Star Gunner (knee, elbow articulation)
AT-AT Driver (for those who never got this guy! knee, shoulder, and elbow articulation)
Death Star Trooper (more neutral pose, knee, elbow articulation)
Admiral Motti (just give us one EVERYONE can own!!!)
Admiral Ozzel (He's just cool)
As for the elbow articulation, I'm not big on the swivel elbows either. It's not too bad when he has a more neutral arm pose. Not rally straight, but not as drastic as 300th Boba or Imp. Officer.
Ah, it's nice to dream
May the force be with you.
Ill stick with Sith Killer list there. its good but add more Imperial guys like jerjerrrod, and Needa
Agreed, definatly on Moff Jerjerrod. We need him for our Emporer's arrival diorama's. Best thing they could do is regularly card two of the Imperial Dignitaries. And when we finally get the Imperial Shuttle re-issued, give us the third Imperial Dignitary and Moff Jerjerrod as the pack-ins.Originally posted by Amanamike

I too would love to know Joker's take on the Sony MH1C. This is mainly because I purchased the RE-ZEROs based on your review in which you called them warm. Maybe they are warm for an analytical IEM but to my ears they sounded thin and hallow (though man where you right about the detail and the highs). Would love to know what you think about them. I'm guessing they get an 8.0 ;)
I also totally agree with your short assessment of the Brainwavz R1.
I have the Vsonic GR02 and GR04, the MH1C is far warmer than either.
I'm hanging on to them just so that Joker can try them, they're far too warm for my tastes.

whats the pros and cons of box launchers
whats the pros and cons of box launchers
I use one all the time, custom built . Great for diversion birds, marks and walk ups. Compact, quick to load. springs wont wear out as fast as bungies , if they even do.
I guess the only thing I can think of If your at quite a distance maybe adjust the arc higher on a winger
I friend of mine has a Zinger uplander and Its nice
HRC- Our season never ends
"Shoot fast or shoot last"
HR UH Nilsson's on a wing n a prayer MH WCX
What are you going to be using it for?
I have a few of the Zinger Uplander and use them for gun conditioning young dogs without the need for a second person. Also if the dog takes the bumper out of the launcher, there is no fear that the launcher will release like a traditional winger. These launchers will not launch as far or high as a winger but they great for walk-ups and diversions because of their low profile. If you plan on using them for upland work, I would look at a smaller unit like the DT unit but the DT units release the bird versus launch a bird/bumper. One other pro is the springs last a lot longer than bands on the wingers.

You can have this Asian dinner for four on the table in 30 minutes...and there's just one pan to wash!
Udon noodles are wheat noodles popular in Asia. They are readily available now at many larger grocery stores and at stores that specialize in Asian cuisines. If desired, substitute linguini or fettuccine for the udon noodles.
Substitute other vegetables as you prefer. For example, substitute a green bell pepper for the yellow one, or in place of the fresh vegetables, substitute a 1-pound bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables.

Water system outage, June 26-27 -- University Center
Water will be turned off in the University Center from 6 a.m., Friday, June 26 to 7 a.m., Saturday, June 27. During the outage, there will be no water available in restrooms, drinking fountains and food services. The outage will not affect the fire sprinkler system in the University Center buildings. The shutdown is to install two backflow preventers.
Steam outage, June 27 -- Engineering Building
Steam to the Engineering Building will be shut down for repairs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, June 27. During this time, domestic hot water will not be available.
Water system outage, June 27-28 -- Arts Building; Main Building; Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building; and John Peace Library Building
Water to restrooms, drinking fountains, food services and the fire sprinkler systems will be turned off from 10 p.m., Saturday, June 27 to 10 a.m., Sunday, June 28 in the Arts Building; Main Building; Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building; and John Peace Library Building. The outage is for maintenance and installation of backflow preventers on the fire line under the JPL Building and in the Arts Building.
The facilities plumbing shop will provide a trained fire-watch person for each affected building. When the work is complete, facilities staff will perform a walk-through of each building to flush water lines to clear air and debris that may have entered the lines.
Air handler repair, June 29 -- Humanities and Social Sciences Building
One air handler in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building will be shut down from 3 to 8 a.m., Monday, June 29 for annual maintenance. Because other air handler units will operate during the maintenance work, no change is expected in the building temperature.

The FullPliant server is now running and is basically stable.
Hello advogato,
I'm currently integrating Pliant database engine in the Pliant Debian installation script (installs Debian distibution without Debian installation tools and patches the Debian scripts on the file in order to proceed unattended: all the configuration files will be built on the fly from the content of the target computer description in Pliant database, so that when done, you don't have to change a single file by hand).
The FullPliant distribution has been upgraded as well: Pliant on top of Linux kernel with no extra code (except statically linked 'e2fsck' that I'm not fool enough to port to Pliant).
Will end soon (a few days) with upgrading the Pliant SMTP server to get accounts handled using Pliant database engine so that I will be back to HTTP+FTP+SMTP+POP3 Pliant servers running (was in release 25, one year ago ... before large cleanups).
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
If you're a C programmer with some spare time, take a look at the mod_virgule project page and help us with one of the tasks on the ToDo list!

Conference focuses on 'The State of the World,' Feb. 13-14
Posted February 5, 2004; 03:48 p.m.
The Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies will present its inaugural conference on "The State of the World" from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13-14, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Visiting scholars of international and regional studies, including Frangois Bourguignon of the World Bank, Linda Weiss of the University of Sydney and Michael Mann of the University of California-Los Angeles, will join Princeton faculty members in discussions of possible contradictions or paradoxes in current global events.
On the first day of the conference, the opening panel will focus on the relationship between parallel increases in claims to ethnic uniqueness and in pressures to conform to a common definition of human rights. The afternoon panel will consider the increasingly complex relationship between growth and inequality. On day two, the panelists in the morning session will discuss how local interests and perceptions conflict or mesh with global pressures. The closing discussion will examine developments in global security, the rise of the United States and the apparent victory of classic liberalism over other ideologies.
The conference is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the institute's Web site . The institute was launched last summer to conduct collaborative, interdisciplinary research and teaching on issues of global importance.

Famous fountain close to the Houston Galleria.
Initally, was known as the Transco Fountain, and then as Williams Fountain but now, it is simply the WaterWall.
Gigapan Comments (2)Toggle Minimize gigapan_comment
Kilgore, Thanks, its more than I expected and am very happy about the robot. Until you mentioned it, I did not know that this area is now more famous than the Galleria, which is only a stone's throw away. Use to be, area hotels would advertise themselves as Galleria hotels, but all of a sudden, we now have Water Wall hotels and a few blocks away, there are Uptown hotels; so, Galleria, Uptown and Water Wall are all within a easy walk of each other... welcome to Houston :) Not like the hotels in Bath... here you won't find many English pensioners or even American pensioners.. too expensive :(
Congratulations or your first pano taken with a gigapan unit David. Is there any connection between the name of this pano and Water Wall hotels?

That is usually my approach and what I expected of others, but the way discussion progressed during this contest showed me that it's not how things operate around here anymore. People blurted out baseless negative comments which were offensive to all participants, yourself included, and were not held accountable. How do you combat an atmosphere of negativity in a forum? Making fun of those who cause it is one of the few effective measures. Mods on busy forums tend to avoid nebulous "judgment call" complaints, leaving the community to police itself in terms of what is and isn't socially acceptable. Certain posters on this board speak out against stupidity when they see it, and I see nothing more egregious in my posts than in a typical godix post.
In fact, my reply to Hinatasan was far milder and more explanatory than her posts. Did you note her repeated use of the word "horrible?" If you took offense because my reply included a critique of your logo, that is a separate issue. I hope also that the disagreement we had recently is not a factor here. I find it bizarre that you singled out my silly, deliberately pretentious jibe at her while she tosses out terms like "horrible." I get the impression that you are rebuking me for more than my posts here, and using this as an opportune way to express censure.
Also, please consider how counter-productive and irritating it is to call someone out as you did to me here, then advise them to confine their replies to private channels. If you truly wished to just douse the flames, your "suggestion" should have been sent privately to me, or to a moderator to handle the situation for you. You chose to state it publically, so I'm replying publically. However, I don't foresee anything productive coming out of continuing this discussion, so I will refrain from posting here further. Congratulations on your win.

text: "Halloween II"- (this is for the unrated director's cut): I liked Rob Zombie's original as it brought a new idea to the table, but this sequel is just awful. I don't get why everybody in Zombie's world is awful and deplorable while his environment is always dirty and dingy. The plot was all over the place and i really think that Zombie believes the more gore he puts into a film, the more "shocking" it will be. Lastly, the ending........pretty much kind of a rip off from "Halloween 4." Just pure crap. Rating- * out of ****

Chocolate Cones and Lasagna Even after my unlucky dabbling in other hyped up anime series I decided to give another heavily lauded series a chance. As one might guess, my expectations for Lucky Star lacked the core, boy-like excitement I found myself overtaken by when starting other shows that received vast praise: Code Geass, Gurren Lagann, Ouran High School Host Club, Kino's Journey, The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. My final verdict on all these shows--and others not listed--proved much lower than the general consensus. This fact continued to nag me as I hesitantly partook of the first episode. Though...

Resident Evil: Degeneration caught my eye immediately because of a familiarity with the series, but until recently I didn't have the time to view it. Though I'm not the biggest fanboy of the Resident Evil videogame series I can honestly confess that I've completed multiple play-throughs of both the fourth and fifth installments; also, I've had opportunities to catch up on the story from other games via friends, the internet, etc. With this solid RE background I came began the movie with a veritable amount of hype but sensible expections. A lot of the hype came from the stunning visuals. At times... See full review
After careful deliberation my next anime series to view landed upon Kino's Journey. Once again wooed by the endearing recommendations and extremely high review scores manufactured by passionate viewers I found myself starting a series that wasn't what I'd expected in a plethora of ways. The animation retains a charming style and arbitrary grace that never hinders the shows progress or intent, as far as I saw it, while retaining originality. It isn't typical movie quality, but it is impressive by series standards. For me, the sound worked at times and not at others. A few tunes captured the... See full review
I enjoyed the Gundam Wing series, but noticed the many flaws that plagued it: plot holes, awkward pacing, strange inconsistencies, mediocre animation etc. Endless Waltz, orignially an OVA, follows directly after the series and came as a surprise in many ways.The story works as an additional arc to the orignal story and provdes an interesting spin on the conluding events of the series. Though riddled with clumsy flashbacks the plot progresses steadily while providing important information--some of which makes up for plot holes in the original series. When I first saw the movie near its initial release I was... See full review
After seeing multple reviewer's very high scores for X'amd:Lost Memories I decided to give the show a chance. Though I don't usually choose to absorb any fiction based on reviews alone I found the genre tags and recommendation-pairings appealing as well. The story starts out with a great hook augmented by tactful ambiguity. Sadly, after the first episode the thick ambiguity remains, which helps in artistic interpretation, but heavily damages face-value narrative craft. Towards the end of the series I didn't know what world the characters inhabited, or even any historical context. Because of this the story... See full review
A Closed Space The tailwind created from the hype of this show finally pushed me to watch it. Knowing that hype can destroy a series I took my time, even though it's short. Many treasures awaited me within each episode, but I found a lot more than previously advertised. The plot moves without jarring the viewer, but feels half realized after the show's sudden conclusion. The fasinating basis slowly begins to erode as the plot progresses. In the beginning a seperation between reality, fantasy, and a third re-made reality poses great potential but falls flat because of neglect; all of the potential... See full review
I encountered the fantasy genre fairly late considering how often I'd steeped myself in fiction during my young life. Escaflowne appeared as the first fantasy anime to flash onto my television. It forged a powerful introduction: quick-moving action, blatant tension, and giant mechs I'd never seen on typical Saturday-Morning cartoons. Two emotive impressions I recieved from my early encounter are anticiption and disappointment: the prior from conclusion of one episode and the latter from the show's cancellation. With these two feelings I returned to Escaflowne years later. The story remains altogether... See full review
Hunting for Hunters I started HunterxHunter years ago but never had an opportunity to finish until recently. The plot, even years ago, didn't strike me as avant-garde, but brought enough to the shounen table to garner my interest; a story about a boy going on a quest to find an absent father doesn't appear internally striking, but where the story falls short strong characters assist to bridge the gap. The four main characters deliver a variety of angles that almost any viewer can appreciate: The simple-minded hero, lonely assasin, vengeful 'nice guy', and a less-than-mature adult. Not only does the main... See full review
No. 4 Shell Though Outlaw Star was overshadowed by great animes of its time--Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, etc.-- there's still a lot to the series that potentially makes a worthwhile watch. Though a little disjointed and episodic the main plot line remains interesting. The story feels a little too familiar at times but always keeps the pot mixed enough to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom. Most of the characters follow an anime archetype of some sort but manage to flesh out into more than just an empty shell. Each character has an interesting enough story but the aspect that strengthens them the... See full review
I Didn't Want to Spirit Gun Myself Yu Yu Hakusho doesn't break the mould for shounen anime but certainly holds it's own as an interesting and entertaining series. The general story sadly follows the footsteps of DBZ whereas each arc revolves around "an even stronger guy" than previously introduced. The idea behind the "Spirit World" and the protagonist's job as "Spirit Detective" feels healthy though not groundbreaking in comparison to other series. The hardest thing about YuYu Hakusho is dedicating over a hundred episodes worth of time to complete it when numerous... See full review
Abyssmal Load Times: Plot PrimerI couldn't pass up the chance to see an anime based on one of my favorite games of all time even if other game animes fell short in the past. Also, I realize that's it's almost impossible to not make this review a compare and contrast model having seen the anime and played the game. All the original plot and characters are present and provide much of the same experience as given in game; the only difference being the length of mediums. Watching the anime is like reading flash ficiton while playing the game remains akin to reading a novel. This change wouldn't pose a problem... See full review
Though I didn't personally enjoy Code Geass R2 I can sympathize with those interested in what's offered. There are enough characters that anyone could find one to connect with and cheer for. Sadly, the numerous characters all fight for supremacy and much of character development is lost in the melee. The story like the characters feels covoluted when look at as a whole though there are many masterful narrative devices incorporated in varying amounts; one example being the tactful and intriguing finale. Overall, I would recommend the show to quick-and-flashy fans as well as emo kids. The only reason I... See full review

Well after the first 7 double siders and junking all 7 of them, it bugged me that I couldn't find the right combo to make it work. I was sitting watching TV the other night and looking at a few of the calls I had just finished. I remembered a piece of soft maple I had laying in the shop that was just taking up space, that I was going to toss out anyways, being that it was a flat dead sounding piece of maple. It was thick enough to almost get two calls out of, but with it sounding so bad I didn't use it. I had just got a 1/4 sawn piece of maple and some purpleheart, so I cut a couple of tongues out and hewned the maple out to the thickness I wanted and glued it up for one more try at a double sider. Well after sanding and shaping the call, I grabbed a striker off the bench and ran a few yelps. It started to scream and after I tuned it and sanded the tongues down it will serve as a prototype call for this falls season. I still have a few bugs to work out of this design, but it will become a very useful call with two different sounds out of the two sides, and if one side gets damp and unplayable you can roll it over and keep right on calling. Here is the first peek at the new design, and as I get all the tweeks figured out as to what it will need to produce the same sounds as my other tongue calls do, you'll be seeing a few more of these.
Thanks for the look, Scott

African writers to read from work
Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008, 4:30 p.m. · Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St
Posted September 17, 2008; 05:28 p.m.
Breyten Breytenbach and Uzodinma Iweala, two writers who address issues of strife in Africa, will read from their work at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.
A South African native, Breytenbach is a visual artist and has written many novels, collections of short stories and poems, essays and dramatic works. A committed opponent of apartheid, he is a political activist who emigrated to Paris in the 1960s. In 1975, on a covert visit to South Africa, he was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison for high treason. His classic memoir of this experience, "The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist," has been translated into more than a dozen languages. Breytenbach, whose most recent work is "Veil of Footsteps (Memoirs of a Fictional Nomadic Character)," is considered to be the finest living poet of the Afrikaans language.
Nigerian-American author Iweala's first novel, "Beasts of No Nation," has received considerable critical attention and has been translated into 11 languages. In the novel, Agu, a young boy in an unnamed West African nation, is recruited into a unit of guerrilla fighters as civil war engulfs his country. Iweala, who is interested in health and human rights issues, has worked on development projects in Nigeria and New York, and currently is attending medical school at Columbia University. In 2007, he was named one of Granta's 20 best young American novelists.
The event is the kickoff of this year's Althea Ward Clark Reading Series sponsored by the Program in Creative Writing in the Lewis Center for the Arts.

Wow, it's been a long time since my last blog entry. The big news is that I now have an apartment in Berkeley. I'm still not 100% moved (there are books and so on at the old pace), but all the furniture is here, and it's already starting to feel like home.
The past couple of months have been fairly emotionally demanding, and I'm still feeling behind on a bunch of things (a lot of it mundane paperwork seemingly needed for living in modern times), but I sense this period is about to end, and I'm going to become a lot more social again. This apartment is only 4 blocks west of the North Berkeley BART station, and a nice hike to campus, so the logistics of getting together with friends is going to be a lot easier than it was way out in Benicia.
One place in particular I hope to meet up with friends is LinuxWorld in SF, the second week of August. I'll be helping Till Kamppeter man the linuxprinting booth, and will be showing off some of my work with high end graphic arts-quality printing using Ghostscript and my screening technology. I'm not expecting much from the conference itself, but it should be a reasonably good place to reconnect with friends.
Maybe I'll see you there!

My own experience with our health system occurred a couple of years ago. I paid $750/month for health insurance for myself, which was the full cost since I owned the company. I had a very minor stroke while photographing a friend's wedding in Bellevue WA. Within 30-40 minutes I was in the emergency room where I told them I had suffered a stroke that caused partial blindness. They concluded that I might have a detached retina instead and that I should return to PA and visit with my normal doctor. No treatment was done and I was not seen by a neurologist or ophthalmologist.
I flew home the next day where it was determined quickly that I had suffered a stroke. Because I was not treated in the ER, my partial blindness became permanent while clot breaking treatment at that time would almost certainly have restored my vision. I spent three days in the hospital for testing. A couple of months later I had a prostate biopsy whch created enough swelling that I ended up in the emergency room for catheterization. My medical bills for the year were over $60,000 of which I ended up paying almost $5,000 out of pocket. Much of the care I received was great, but not where it counted most. The cost, whether paid by me or the insurance company (from an economic perspective it's the same) was at best questionable.
I believe we have a very good health care system for those that can afford to pay and a very poor system for those that cannot. As Hoosier indicated, some of our poor outcomes on health indicators says more about our diet than our health care. However, that is less valid when dealing with meausres of infant mortality where we do not look good compared to most of the developed countries and many of the third world countries. In those cases, poor distribution of services is more of a factor.

Six Unusual Ways to Use Zucchini
About this time of year—among gardeners and others who love
seasonal vegetables—jokes abound about the invasion of the zucchini, as if it
were some creature from a sci-fi movie, endlessly propagating. Even fans of
this summer squash can get a little bored during its abundant growing season. But
there are plenty of fun, out-of-the-ordinary ways to enjoy your zucchini
bonanza. Here are some of our favorites:
Quick Pickles
My coworker Sherry wrote about pickling carrots and other
sturdy veggies, and you can do the same with zucchini as well. I used her pickling liquid proportions (1 c. white vinegar, 1/3 c. sugar, 3
Tbsp. salt) and added a few sprigs of fresh dill and a quarter of a red onion,
thinly sliced, for one medium zucchini. If
you're using a mason jar, make sure to pack in the veggies as tightly as
possible (you might be able to fit more than one zucchini)—they float once
the liquid is added. After 6 hours they were crunchy with a bit of zip; after 3
days, they were mouthwateringly tangy and somewhat sweet.
Zucchini Butter
One of my favorite food sites is Food52, and within it, Kristen
Miglore's column Genius Recipes is often just that. In one of her recent entries, Kristen talks about zucchini butter, a recipe from a California caterer named
Jennie Cook. I cannot get enough of this! It's not actually butter, in
the way that apple butter is also not butter. Shredded zucchini, oil, and not
much else becomes an amazing, addictive sandwich filling, side dish, pizza
topping, omelet filling . . . Make sure to cook it down until the water
evaporates, so that the vegetable caramelizes a bit.
Cheesy Coins
These pecorino-crusted zucchini coins are terrific as a snack or an
unusual side. They make a fun appetizer
as well.
Fish & Zucchini
Tacos are an easy, healthy summer supper—the zucchini is roasted with spices until
crisp-tender. No-cook main-dish salads (like Zucchini & Ham Ribbons) and side salads (Zucchini Carpaccio)—yes, the zucchini is raw—are ideal when you
want to keep cool. Find the recipes here,
along with 11 other ways to keep the squash doldrums at bay.
Have a clever way to use up your excess squash? Tell us
about them in the comments; we'd love to hear your suggestions!

The article is up on IceNetwork today.
They will train in Canton, Michigan with Johnny Johns and Marina Zoueva with David Kirby assisting from Dallas.
The article is up on IceNetwork today.
They will train in Canton, Michigan with Johnny Johns and Marina Zoueva with David Kirby assisting from Dallas.
They did it! Well, good for them. Look forward to seeing their vids this summer! Big congratulations to both of them!
They will be working in Canton mainly with Johnny John but also with Marina Zoueva who will do their choreo (yay!). There was an interesting line from Zoueva:
"I am absolutely happy. Pairs is my favorite event. I like the choreography: more speed, more athletic, more in the air. For me, it's special."
Hmmm. Maybe Canton aims to rebuild US pairs as well as dance.

I guess we all knew this was coming... I hope this will work out for them!
All I can say is, YAY!! I am SO happy Caitlin will be competing again. I found the quote about her at last year's Worlds interesting: "All the talk backstage [in Moscow] was about the beautiful, new American girl, with people saying she was '[program] component rich.' " That was my thought exactly about Y/C at Worlds. They made quite a splash, I think, and hopefully Caitlin and Josh will be able to build on the international reputation she was starting to develop. Maybe it will give them a little boost. I think Denney/Coughlin's previous international experience definitely helped them immediately get the judges' attention.
I'm excited that Zoueva is part of the coaching team. That seems really promising. Interesting, too, her comments about pairs. Maybe this will give her a fun & inspiring break from all the ice dance choreography. If she can bring even a little of the magic she made with Gordeeva & Grinkov, we'll be in for a treat.

Go bananas! Nothing beats the taste or aroma of baked banana bread. It's just like mom's but much, much easier.
This bread freezes well and is great to have on hand when company drops in.
For the best flavor, be sure to use bananas that are very ripe.
Extra banana bread? Make terrific banana bread French toast. Dip bread in egg mixture, and cook in skillet 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. It's great with maple syrup.

Those be ceremonial drawings of the great peoples of the Northern Kentucky clan and regions. The drawings denote this is a sacred temple of their high Shaman. They are sacrificial people demanding animal killings in the spring and fall of each great period of the sun and moon. If you look to the far right edge you see a beheading log and to the far left is the tower of the high Priest where he makes declarations to all who dwell in his land.

When it comes to on page SEO there is a load of guff out there. Some of it good, but the majority of it bad or just plain wrong. You'll no doubt be sick of hearing about meta tags and keyword density etc. etc.
Here, you will find practical on page SEO advice that is correct and will actually help your rankings and general optimisation for your web pages.
Here we go with my on page SEO advice:
Firstly, ensure that you use SEO friendly permalink URLs
If you are using WordPress, you can do this with ease:
Once logged into the WordPress admin area of your site, navigate to 'Settings', 'Permalinks' and the either use 'Post name' under Common Settings or use 'Custom Structure' and enter /%postname%/.
What you want to achieve is a URL structure that is relatively short, but keyword dense. You don't want some generic page URL like insightfulmindsreviews.com/p=123, or a longer version like insightfulmindsreviews.com/this-on-page-seo-blueprint-is-amazing-to-create-well-optimised-pages, instead you want something like this page has: insightfulmindsreviews.com/on-page-seo. Another great example I have come across is from an SEO in Glasgow.
We also know that the first three to five words within a URL are given more weight than those beyond this number.
This can be checked that Google use this when you search for a term and each of the results will have the searched keywords in bold that appear in the URL of the website on Google's Search Engine Results Pages.

Dr Bruno Reversade, senior principal investigator, Institute of Medical Biology, A*STAR, wins European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Young Investigatorship (YIP)
Singapore: Dr Bruno Reversade from A*STAR's Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) is the first scientist, based outside Europe, to have been awarded the prestigious European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Young Investigatorship (YIP). EMBO YIP recognizes the most outstanding and promising young independent scientists, who lead their labs in Europe and EMBO cooperation partner countries.
Dr Reversade was awarded the YIP as the judging panel deemed him to be "a really original scientist" with outstanding research output. His research examines rare genetic conditions that provide insights into common diseases and traits that affect the general population. His current research on twinning, suggests that the birth of identical twins could be genetically triggered, was described as "highly innovative and original - probably unique" by the judging panel.
Dr Reversade has published seven papers in a short span of four years since he became an independent investigator under the A*STAR Investigatorship (A*I) scheme in 2008. Four of these papers were published in the prestigious journal Nature Genetics.
Dr Reversade, who is a senior principal investigator at IMB, said that, "I am genuinely honoured to receive the EMBO Young Investigatorship. I am most grateful to my team as this is certainly not one person's work and to Singapore for providing such a conducive research environment."
Professor Sir David Lane, A*STAR chief scientist and EMBO member said, "Bruno was the first A*STAR Investigator recipient we recruited for his promise and potential as part of A*STAR's efforts to support and promote early independence and career development of the best scientists of the next generation. His research is patient-driven with strong clinical relevance and we are delighted that his work has been recognized with this prestigious award, which is a true mark of scientific excellence."

Family: Rallidae, Rails, Gallinules, Coots view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Can appear all dark, but in good light note the dark rich-brown crown, nape, and back. Underparts are dark blue-gray with black and whitish barring on flanks, belly, and undertail coverts. Has dark bill and beady red eye. ADULT FEMALE Similar, but has less well-marked upperparts and is marginally paler on underparts. JUVENILE Recalls adult female but is browner overall.
Dimensions Length: 5-6" (13-15 cm)
Habitat Local and easily overlooked. Threatened by habitat loss. Breeds on inland freshwater marshes and coastal salt marshes; birds migrate to coastal habitats for winter.
Observation Tips One of the hardest North American species to observe. Very occasionally seen dashing from one area of flooded dense vegetation to anotherómostly in the winter, when high tides force birds to flee cover as it becomes inundated by rising water levels. If flushed by an observer from wetland vegetation quickly drops back into cover and is seldom seen again. Count yourself extremely lucky if you see one!
Range Plains, Southeast, Southwest, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, California, Great Lakes, Florida
Voice Territorial male utters a sharp, repeated ki'ki durr, ki'ki durrÖ, mainly after dark.
Discussion Diminutive rail and the smallest of its kind in Eastern North America. Has a dumpy, short-tailed appearance, recalling perhaps a small chick of a larger species. Behavior is positively furtive and consequently Black Rails are far easier to hear than to see. Sexes are very subtly dissimilar.

Perhaps I'm just being paranoid, but I know the area I like to hunt has a pretty good population of wild boar. I'm not intersted in hunting them (though it is legal to take them on South Carolina WMA during any other game season), I just need a good deterent for them. I've had both knees rebuilt and I'm too old to run anyway. ......And I never could climb a tree. I'm not as worried during the spring gobbler season, as I'd be totin' a shotgun and I can load a coulple of rounds of buckshot in the tube in case the #5's don't deter him. But I can't take my shotgun with me scouting turkey's in February or March.
I've got a .357, but I don't have a concealed weapons permit, so I'd be looking at a healthy fine if a game warden caught me with it. What other options can any of you think of ? Would bear mace deter a hog ?

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Mississippi's political leadership talked to the state's business leadership Wednesday about the importance of education.
"The most aggressive … legislative session on education will take place next year," Republican Gov. Phil Bryant said at the Mississippi Economic Council's annual Hobnob event where much of the state's business community hears from the elected leadership.
Speaking under a large tent on the grounds of the state's Agriculture Museum, Bryant said during the upcoming session he would promote his plan to pay teachers based on performance and to ensure children are not promoted to the fourth grade until they can read on grade level. But he promised additional training for teachers to provide innovative ways to help children read.
Many of the state's other political leaders spoke about education at the event where Mississippi's trade relationship with Canada was highlighted. A key to maintaining that trade relationship and enhancing it with Canada and other countries is education, various leaders said.
"We have to do a better job of educating our children," House Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, told the about 1,000 people in attendance.
Even Republican Treasurer Lynn Fitch focused her speech on education – financial literacy. She said she would work during the 2013 session to convince the Legislature to make Mississippi the fifth state in the nation to require students to take a semester on personal finance before they graduate.
"Our children's understanding of financial literacy is a game changer," she said.
Attorney General Jim Hood, the only statewide elected Democrat, said the MEC has long supported the state spending money on early childhood education. But he said many of the political leaders supported by MEC members have balked on that effort.
Hood said he had been a prosecutor for 20 years and has sought tough sentences, but he said he has come to the conclusion "you can't prosecute your way out of the problems we have."
Hood said by spending money "on the front end" on early childhood education the state can save expensive expenditures on prisons, and various social programs, like Medicaid.
Later Bryant did say, while he had problems with the state getting involved in education at such an early age, "I cannot believe it is not a good thing to teach a child to learn as early as possible."
He said ideally early childhood education should be the responsibility of parents, but all too often that is not happening. Mississippi is the only state in the South not to expend state funds on early childhood education.
Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves highlighted his support of charter schools and appointed school superintendents. Charter schools are public schools that operate outside many of the rules and regulations of traditional schools.
Reeves pointed out that about half of the nation's elected superintendents are located in Mississippi.
Gunn said, "I think school choice is an option we have to try."
When asked after the speech to explain what he meant by school choice, he said, "Charter schools, I guess is one option. … That is what has been on the table."
Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann said, "Education needs to run like a business to generate the skills required to educate our young citizens. Simply paying your taxes will not be enough. If you are not on the school board or meeting with your principals and teachers demanding quality education, you should assume we will maintain the status quo."
State Auditor Stacey Pickering, Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney, Agriculture Commissioner Cindy Hyde-Smith and U.S. Rep. Gregg Harper also spoke.
Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo, a heavy favorite in Tuesday's election against Democratic challenger Albert Gore of Starkville and two minor party candidates, spoke of the need to reduce the federal deficit and create jobs. Gore spoke of the need to preserve Social Security and Medicare
The 82-year-old Gore said he is healthy and expects to serve two six-year terms.
State elected officials will not be on Tuesday's ballot, which will consist primarily of federal races and judiciary contests.

I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment.
I'm reading Frank Luna's "Introduction to 3D Game Programming with DirectX 11" (great book so far by the way) and going through tutorials on
> http://www.braynzarsoft.net/index.php?p=DX11Lessons < Also pretty awesome. Well one of the exercises at the end of the 4th tutorial off of the braynzarsoft site, is to " Try to draw a square" which they give you a hint, it's "Vertex Buffer." However, I cannot seem to figure out how to change the code / add to it to make this happen. I've heard a few times that you need to use two triangles to make a square in DX (and maybe a few others libraries) but I'm still not sure about that either. I've read this the tutorials and through some of the book I mentioned and I just can't find it. I've search on here, and through google for a while but with no avail.
The full source is here:
http://pastebin.com/XaJvnB1B <
Because the hint is "Vertex Buffer" i thought maybe it would be in this section of code:
//set the vertex and pixel shaders Vertex v[] = { //X / Y/ Z Vertex(0.0f, 0.5f, 0.5f), Vertex(0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f), Vertex(-0.5f, -0.5f, 0.5f), //Vertex(0.2f, 0.5f, -0.5f), }; D3D11_BUFFER_DESC vertexBufferDesc; ZeroMemory(&vertexBufferDesc, sizeof(vertexBufferDesc)); vertexBufferDesc.Usage = D3D11_USAGE_DEFAULT; vertexBufferDesc.ByteWidth = sizeof(Vertex) * _countof(v); //was * 3 vertexBufferDesc.BindFlags = D3D11_BIND_VERTEX_BUFFER; vertexBufferDesc.CPUAccessFlags = 0; vertexBufferDesc.MiscFlags = 0; D3D11_SUBRESOURCE_DATA vertexBufferData; ZeroMemory(&vertexBufferData, sizeof(vertexBufferData)); vertexBufferData.pSysMem = v; hr = d3d11Device->CreateBuffer(&vertexBufferDesc, &vertexBufferData, &triangleVertBuffer);
But i'm still not sure how to advance in all honestly. I know that the "Vertex v[]" and the coordinates given are to point to where which line should go (?) but after playing with it and attempting to add an extra vertex, it didn't seem to update after i compiled and ran it.
(For the record, this is DX11, and i'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate.)

mm74: got the package yesterday, thanks. I'll get the holo vader out to you soon. (I'm assuming the return address on the package you sent me is the address to use.)
On another note: I made the mistake of getting a couple sets of the starship battles minis. The next thing I knew, I had spent about $150 and have (almost) the whole set. These things have great paint jobs and detail. they're everything I want titanium to be but it isn't. I'm still looking for an Imperial Star Destroyer if anyone has an extra and wants to trade/sell.
