Check out NiubNiubsUniverse.com, he's got some tatooine dioramas, he made a very a cool sarlacc pit, and I think he made some Tatooine hovels for one diorama, you might check it out for tips on stuff, best suggestion I've got.
"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!"
Okay.I was over there,just skimmed over ANH dioramas.Thanks
for the info LTBasker.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
Here's how I'd do it. First I'd check out a sewing store. They have these styrene balls that are used for embroidery or something. They don't cost much and come in different sizes. take one styrene ball and cut in half use for the entrance dome. Then use card to make the rest of the entrance. form a ring and then cut a disk to fit on top of that ring and join them together where they meet so you get a circular box Then do a similar thing to make domed arches to glue on the three sides or four (can't remember how many sides have arches.) One of these will then need to be altered to make a doorway arch s cut a hole into it for the door. glue the styrene dome on top of the round box. Glue the arches to the box. You should now have something resembling the lars homestead entrance. A littl rough following my crap instructions but there's not a lot I can do without physically showing you.
Next step is to take tissue paper ad glue it paper mache style over the top of the whole model to give a rough plaster effect smooth down the roughest bumps with you fingers (PVA glue watered down is best for this) You should attempt to get it rough and rumpled looking without making big ridges so crumple the paper before sticking it to the model. When finished leave to dry naturally for a couple of days. Then mix up some DIY exterior wall filler with a little PVA glue for bonding and spread thinly over the model. Use your fingers or anything spatula like (but small) to smooth it out. This will give you the mud/sand built look. Let this dry out for 24 hours and then paint with light sandy tan water based paint. Artists acrylic might be good. it has that plasticky look that will match any of Hasbros playsets.
VOILA! one homestead playset piece finished. Next week the courtyard........ J/K
two large bowls from your local dollar store stacked inside one another. sand the outside of the outer one and the inside of the inner one. cut your doorways and fill in around the space between the bowls with newspaper and then the doorway with epoxy putty. first primer then paint as desired.
Like my dad always said, "Be original son. Dont quote someone else."
Do you think If I used that "Sand Paint" in a can,would it harm the styrofoam?I plan to put blaster bandages on the styrofoam
the paint it...will it leach and eat away the dome underneath?
The Sand paint is that textured paint they sell to make it look like rock and such.
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
yeah the spray textured paint will eat the styrene dome. that's why i suggested paper over the top. i've used this method to make a cantina exterior and very quickly dissolved a dome by accident with paint so I came up with the paper solution which works a treat. it takes more time but the results are great.
I overspray the texture paint with a slightly differnt shade to increase the texture depth. hold the second ordinary spray paint quite a distance from the model and give it a light dusting. it gives it a dirty dusty look and I think makes it look more like a Hasbro product and more in keeping with the figures. Here's a pic of part of my cantina.
Emperor Jargo, your cantina looks great. Are the square pieces foamboard or cardboard underneath the paper mache?
Thanks Jargo...Cool diorama as well
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
thanks for the compliments. AJ, I use the card from the cases the figures pack in as a base roughing out the shape of a piece. For one thing it's the cheapest and lightest material and strong too. Once I've glued the pieces together with PVA wood glue (because it dries faster than paper PVA glue) I mix up interior wall filler into a gloopy paste and smear it over the top to make a rough surface and fill the ends of the corrugated card where needed. Once dry use the paint InsaneJediGirl was talking about (the one I use is called plasti-kote fleck stone) to give a speckled mud wall look. dead easy and dirt cheap. Don't waste your money on expensive foamcore when a card packing case will do just as well. be warned with the stone texture spray though - it gets everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE!!!!!!! don't spray it indoors or you'll be picking it of your clothes the carpet the ceiling the walls the doors............. good stuff though all the same.

Thread: Dwarf Puffer Fish
Dwarf Puffer Fish
Hi guys!
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with fresh water dwarf puffer fish? Ive done a bit of reading and am aware that its best house them in their own tank, so i have a spare 20gallon that i could set up for them.
Any information from experiences would be great! also if anyone had any luck with another species in the same tank.
I've kept them before and currently am setting up a tank for another one.
20 Gallons will be just fine for a Dwarf Puffer. Small fish but do produce a decent amount of waste. I fed mine mostly Bloodworms and Mysis Shrimp. I also feed snails as well, I just get them for free from stores in the area. Same snails that are a nuisance in most tanks are a welcome treat in the Puffer tank.
They are awesome fish with interesting personalities.
I have never tried to keep Dwarf Puffers with any other fish. Otos are the only fish you can keep with them and that is even hit or miss.3 Gallon Planted Betta Tank
4 gallon planted Aqueon Evolve Dwarf Puffer Tank
From the research I have done on these guys, you can probably keep about 1 male and 2 to 3 females in that tank (assuming it is long and not high)American League Champions! TIGERS!
Dwarfs are more relaxed then they are given credit for I think. Still species only but I didn't see much aggression towards each other, I kept 3 in a 10. No idea what sex they where, they couldn't have been less inclined to fight, never seen tamer fish.
One thing I didn't realize before I saw them is just how small they really are. You cant tell from the youtube videos, they make neons look huge, that's how small they are lol.
They really prefer a heavily planted tank, apparently they get bored more easily and are more troublesome in a relatively bare environment. Best to have a steady supply of snails available too, they'll quickly clean out any in the tank and eat them faster than they can reproduce unless the snails are in a different tank. For that matter a large plastic tote with a sponge filter would be fine for a snail farm.
I have one and he has a supply of snails and he also gets froozen boodworms. He had some ghost shrimp for friends but I think he decided they were tasty. Down to one shrimp. He doesnt eat them all he just bites them and kills them.

Help Me Buy These....
Hi guys,
My name is harry and im a new member on this website. I have been visiting endless amounts of forums and websites and I am not able to find Indian Dwarf Puffers anywhere. I mean, I hate computers, someone said you should look online. My typing speed has literally increased just doing google search's :)
I live in victoria Australia. Thought id ask neighbors for help :) If anyone is able to import this for me ill pay a reasonable amount. I love this fish, you guys know how I feel. Please help!!! my tank is an optimum species only setup for DP's.
Thank you,
Hijacking a thread aint a good idea, start your own thread with your own questions for optimal responsesMy therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .
I have 6 dwarf puffers. I feed them blood worm, brine shrimp, frozen foods ( i get the multi variety pack. they are very picky eaters and they will get bored eating the same food everyday so i mix it up. thaw their food. i feed mine pond snails (to trim down their teeth. feed them once or twice a week, thats their favorite treat). Put alot of plants and hiding places to separate them from fighting and killing each other mostly the males. They have very sensitive skin. No salt! they are completely freshwater but they can go in brackish water. Heater 75%-80%. they are fin nippers. Tank mates otto's, ghost shrimp(some times they eat them) bumble bee gobies, kuhli loaches. (I had one female left cause the male died and she is a pea puffer and i had another species called bumble bee dwarf puffer. so the female was all alone and i put her in a 10 gal and grabbed one of the bumble bee puffer male and put him in with the female just to see if they would get along. they circled each other and they mated so quickly they loved each other! :D Even though the lfs and the internet said not to mix the species together.. well in my case they do get along with each other. They are very intelligent. they will recognize the food thats in a cup or bag when thawed out. they will be swimming back and forth in front of the tank and they love to watch you when your just relaxing watching tv or whatever you would be doing. they love watching you. when you do water changes make sure you dont put your hand in the tank cause they will try to bite you. (i was doing water changes and one of the puffers charged at my hand and i quickly pulled my hand out of the tank. if they bite you, you would have to get stitches or be bleeding. it will hurt.) be careful. they are very entertaining to watch them chase (nip) each other. They lay their eggs on plants. their eggs are 1mm and you wont be able to see them with your naked eye, so you would need to use a magnifying glass. they eat their eggs. the eggs hatch 5-7 days. thats if you have a heater it will take 5 days for them to hatch and you would see little red swimmers. When the fry hatch they will eat their egg sack and the other unhatched eggs. You would need to feed them baby brine shrimp live. they sell brine shrimp eggs so you can hatch them yourself when you get home. Hope this helped. Enjoy!
if you are talking about the dwarf bee puffer (south american puffer ) i have had one for quite some time. he loves bloodworms and snails most and he gets along just fine with a vampire shrimp, kribensis, oto cats, glass cats, cardinal tetras. at one point in time his best buddy was an iridecent shark until i rehomed him. a bee puffer will get along with most fish just be very careful, i do NOT advise any slower moving long finned species. they also are the only puffer that will get along with their own kind very well. just be observant of them in the light and dark as you should with any fish, but the only time you will see them getting a little cocky is when its feeding time. they will try to give a little charge at some other fish and normally the others will just back down. but if there is adequate food for all, there isnt a problem. the puffer will zoom around the tank trying to eat everything just be sure not to overfeed b/c they will continuously eat.

Tonight the worlds of Disney and Marvel will meet for the first time in a special episode called Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel. In the story, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is up to no good again. He has accidentally drained all the powers from Ironman, Thor, Hulk and Spider-Man, leaving them stranded in the middle of New York City. To make matters worse, Marvel super villains learn of the heroes' predicament. They team up with Dr. D to defeat the good guys. Phineas, Ferb and Agent P must help the superheroes get back their powers before it's too late. Will the stepbrothers save the day?
TFK Kid Reporter Amelia Compton caught up with "Phineas and Ferb" creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh at a Disney event in Los Angeles, California. Povenmire voices the show's villain, Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Marsh voices Major Monogram, the commander of Perry the Platypus. The creative duo gave TFK the scoop on Mission Marvel and what's next for "Phineas and Ferb." Hint: The stepbrothers will travel to a galaxy far, far away.
What inspired the crossover episode with Marvel?
Disney suggested doing a crossover episode. We were both game. It was this wonderful, happy thing that just happened to us. We never thought anyone would let us do this.
I think that was the reaction. What? You're serious? We can do that?
Can you tell us about the crossover episode with Marvel?
The Marvel characters get involved in a big adventure with Phineas and Ferb. Doofenshmirtz has created a "Power Drain-inator." He wants to use it to drain the power from his brother, the mayor. Instead it bounces off a satellite and removes all the powers from the superheroes. So they come to Danville to get their powers restored, and Phineas and Ferb help them. The villains come to Danville looking for Dr. Doofenshmirtz. They figure if he rid the superheroes of their powers, he must be this ultra super-villain.
And then after meeting him they find out he's not really.
They're not all that impressed when they finally meet me (in Doofenshmirtz's voice).
Doofenshmirtz is not very evil. He's more goofy.
He is goofy. He's really just looking for attention.
He'd like to be more evil. I think he wishes he were more evil.
Why did you want to do this episode?
Because we are huge fans. I learned to draw by tracing Marvel comics. It may sound corny, but it's an honor to work with the Marvel characters. It was a childhood dream come true.
What do you think kids will like about the new episode?
I hope it will bring fans of Phineas to Marvel and fans of Marvel to Phineas. There are so many kids who like both. Many of my friends say, 'That's my kid's two favorite things, Phineas and Marvel.'
It's like peanut butter and chocolate.
It's just going to make your brains explode. Yes, it's like peanut butter and chocolate. Two great tastes that taste great together.
Which is your favorite Marvel character?
Mine is Spider-Man.
I was an Ironman fan growing up. I also like some of the really weird characters, like Silver Surfer and Deathlok the Demolisher. But Ironman was the one I used to trace as a kid.
What do you enjoy most about voicing your character?
It's the most childish thing we do. We sit in a room with headphones on and just do silly voices.
Sort of like what we did in high school, only back then we'd get in trouble for it. My sisters say I would do the Doofenshmirtz voice when we were kids and I was being the bad guy. I would always talk like this (as Doofenshmirtz). They say the voice sounds mean.
What's next for Phineas and Ferb?
We're going to do a Star Wars crossover episode.
The next year is filled with some really cool episodes. You'll get to see more of the characters we haven't focused on before.
What do you enjoy most about creating "Phineas and Ferb" episodes?
Writing the songs!
That's the part that feels the least like work, although very little of what we do feels like work.
That's true!
We get together with guitars and we jam and make up silly songs.
And we usually do that after hours so we can sit around with no pressure and just be silly musically.
Click here to find out what Vincent Martella (who voices Phineas) and Alyson Stoner (who voices Isabella) had to say about the special episode, and watch a clip below.

Fertilization and Soil Care
In order to have healthy plants on your commercial property you must begin with healthy soils. Fertilization is just the start. Adjusting soil pH and ensuring adequate organic matter is present are also key to healthy soils. For plants in urban and suburban soils, Bartlett Tree Experts can simulate the optimal conditions for growth found in nature. In fact, our patented Root Invigoration process combines all the above into a single treatment to achieve this goal.
Bartlett offers the most intensive soil management programs in the landscape industry. Before fertilization is performed, soil samples are taken from the property and analyzed. Bartlett Arborists submit more than 10,000 soil samples from client properties each year, which provides information for developing fertilizers for specific geographic areas.
We offer more than 15 different blends of our own Boost® fertilizers all of which contain slow-release nitrogen that provides this nutrient gradually over the entire growing season. This means that nitrogen is not lost to leaching and runoff, which optimizes availability, while protecting the environment. If soil phosphorus levels are adequate or treatments are applied in sensitive sites such as watersheds, we use phosphate-free Boost products that are specifically formulated to eliminate water pollution from this nutrient.

Mitt Romney Was Just Talking About Julia
Written By:
Rob Port
Sep 18, 2012
I believe the remarks made by Mitt Romney at a May fundraiser are so controversial because theyre true.
Jim Geraghty has a round-up of anecdotes which make it clear that government dependency is a big, big factor in American lives, and Bryan Preston points out that Romney was just talking about Julia, star of an Obama ad which was launched just weeks before Romney made his comments:
The clips are said to be from a May 17 fundraiser.Where did Mitt Romney get his notions about vast swaths of the American public being so dependent on government theyll vote for whoever will keeps the benefits flowing regardless of what that means for the nations fiscal and economic health? Maybe from the way many Americans actually behave, and the way Democrats themselves campaign.
Two weeks prior to that, the American public met Julia, the Obama campaigns mascot for depending on government from cradle to grave. Julia is shown from age three to age 65, always dependent on Barack Obama, who appears to have been in office for her entire life. Though she has a child, she never has a husband. Who needs one of those when Barack is looking out for her?
The theme of the entire slide set is that you can depend on the benevolent reign of Barack Obama.
Democrats find the idea of self-sufficient Americans to be anathema. Remember, record levels of food stamps enrollment are, to Democrats, something to be proud of. Which is why any talk of America reaching the tipping point where there are more people riding on the governments wagon than pulling it is treated as something akin to hate speech.
Its an ugly truth. If only Romney had the courage to talk this way publicly, instead of only while sequestered with groups of his financial backers. And I wish hed talk about more than just those who benefit from social programs.
Yes, people on the government dole are more likely to vote to keep that dole in place. But corporations will also vote to keep their subsidies in place. Defense contractors will vote to keep the military budgets larger. And on and on.
Romneys mistake, to the extent that he made one, was in only talking about one facet of the problem.
I realize we have to put up with the addicted SFN crowd that just don't understand this nation wasn't founded for the "cradle-to-grave" pathetic do nothings that expect big government to take care of them. How can so many Democrats consider they are 'entitled' to running this country into ruination. How can so many of you continue to support the destruction of the American Constitution by this regime?
Pardon me if I consider all of you to be total charletans. Just taking only a single issue item, those of you that think Obama won't remove your 2nd amendment rights, is proof how sheepleized you have become.
But HEY,...should the Obama lovers on this message board prevail, it won't be a total loss for me. Hellsbells, just think of all the fun I'll have by reminding all you "FOOLS" I told you so. If it wasn't so disastrous for my great-grandkids, it would be incredibly enjoyable. Just think of the fun it will be for me to watch:
The numbers of welfare recipients increase incomprehensibly.
The increase in unemployment, that will eventually reach the many pompous FOOLS that are voting for this ineptocracy to continue. I can hardly wait until you are also part of the "kept" prolertariat.
The numbers of food stamp users increase to a point the Federal Ag Dept can't keep up.
The SFN, OWS, and the other class envy FOOLS, turn this nation into another Greece. I can only look forward to you being in the middle of the anarchy those losers will cause.
Remember this...you can call me whatever you want, but you will always be a member of the racist "FOOLS" crowd that will most certainly be the downfall of this once great country. Say goodby to your freedoms and liberty if what you believe comes about. May your white guilt comfort you.
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but the citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.
It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency, than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us.
Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those that made him their President.

Turkish prime minister publicly chastises Economist correspondent
New York, August 8, 2014--The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by comments made by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan against a journalist on Thursday. At an election rally in southern Turkey, Erdoğan called Amberin Zaman, local correspondent for The Economist, "a shameless militant disguised under the name of a journalist," and urged her to "know your place," the Economist reported. The prime minister was reacting to remarks Zaman made when she interviewed an opposition leader on TV the day before. Pro-government supporters took to social media and condemned Zaman's comments.

Carbon Black assert that if an AV company doesn't detect malware within six days of its being flagged on Virus Total, it probably won't after a month. Is that as dangerous as it sounds?
Last week, reports of a new malware named Gauss emerged, a complex threat that has attracted a lot of media attention due to its links to Stuxnet and Flame and its geographical distribution. Since ESET has added detection for this threat, we are seeing geographical distribution of detection reports similar to those detailed by Kaspersky.
Aleksandr Matrosov looks at the internal architecture of Win32/Flamer's mssecmgr.ocx module.
The slow drip of revelations about Flame have kept this piece of malware in the news for more than two weeks so it is worth reminding people that most antivirus programs now protect against Flame (ESET products detect it as Win32/Flamer.A). The coverage of Flame was boosted last week by a conveniently-timed assist from leaks
A week ago the big malware news was the code known as Flame, Flamer, or sKyWIper (detected by ESET as Win32/Flamer.A), then on June 1, this news broke: "A damaging cyberattack against Iran's nuclear program was the work of U.S. and Israeli experts and proceeded under the secret orders of President Obama." (Washington Post) Clearly,
How serious can a malicious software infection be these days? Short answer = Very.

Release Notes
NUnit 2.5.2 - Version 188.8.131.5222 - August 10, 2009
Note: This is the last release of NUnit using source code maintained on Sourceforge. The CVS repository there will be kept, but no longer updated. After this release, the source is being maintained on Launchpad at http://launchpad.net/nunit-2.5.
- The new SetUICultureAttribute allows setting CurrentUICulture for the duration of a test method, fixture or assembly.
- The TestFixture, TestCase and TestCaseData attributes
have been enhanced to allow ignoring an individual fixture instance or
test case. Two new named parameters are provided:
- Ignore may be set to true to ignore an item.
- IgnoreReason may be set to specify the reason for ignoring the item. If IgnoreReason is set to a non-empty string, then setting Ignore is optional.
- Assert.Catch has been added with several overloads. It differs from Assert.Throws in accepting exceptions derived from the one that is specified. Like Assert.Throws, it returns the exception thrown when it succeeds so that further tests can be made on it.
- The Throws syntax has a number of new additions:
- ThrowsTargetInvocationException, ThrowsArgumentException and Throws.InvalidOperationException provide a shorter syntax for testing for these common exception types.
- Throws.InnerException applies any constraints to the InnerException of the exception that was thrown rather than to the exception itself.
- InnerException can also be used in constraint expressions - see the documentation for an example.
Bug Fixes
- Data from a TestCaseSource in a separate class from the tests is now handled correctly.
- Arguments specified using TestCaseData are now used correctly.
- Comparing the a stream to itself no longer causes an error.
- TimeoutAttribute is now permitted on an assembly as documented.
- Clear All and Clear Failures buttons are now displayed correctly depending on whether Checkboxes are displayed in the Gui.
- The console runner option descriptions have been revised to more clearly indicate what each option does.
- Running special tests that do not use the nunit.framework assembly no longer causes a null reference exception.
- Console Runner option descriptions have been edited for accuracy.
- Gui TreeView now updates correctly when the order of tests has changed.
- An exception in TearDown now displays the actual exception at the top of the stack rather than a TargetInvocationException.
NUnit 2.5.1 - Version 184.108.40.20689 - July 8, 2009
- A new TestResult state has been defined for tests cancelled by the user. Results with ResultState.Cancelled are reported as a type of failure and no longer generate an ApplicationException.
- Parameterized test fixtures with TestCaseSource or ValueSource data are now constructed using the appropriate parameterized constructor when test cases are being created. This avoids the need for a default constructor and permits use of member data initialized from the fixture parameters in creating the test data.
- The TestCaseData class now supports use of a string or other array type as the sole argument value, without the need to nest that array in an object array.
- Abstract classes marked with TestFixtureAttribute are no longer
reported as ignored or non-runnable.
Note: This was changed in 2.5 but was omitted from the release notes.
- The methods in the Text class are now marked as obsolete. For string
constraints, use one of the following at the start of an expression:
- Is.StringContaining
- Is.StringStarting
- Is.StringEnding
- Is.StringMatching
- Contains or ContainsSubstring
- StartsWith
- EndsWith
- Matches
- ThrowsConstraint now has a constructor taking an ActualValueDelegate in addition to the constructor that takes a TestDelegate. This allows simpler use of Lambda expressions under C# 3.0, but requires users of pre-3.0 compilers to disambiguate their delegates by use of an explicit return expression.
- Individual test cases under a parameterized test are
no longer sorted by name within the test group but are
run (and shown in the Gui) in the order in which the
data is retrieved.
Note: Since the order of retrieval of custom attributes is not guaranteed by the CLR, the order of test cases will not necessarily match the textual ordering of attributes in the source code. The order of tests will vary across different compilers and CLR versions as well.
- The XML test result file now contains a count of inconclusive results.
- The default icons in the Gui tree have been updated.
- Alternative icons placed by the user in the directory containing nunit.uikit.dll may now be in PNG format. Icons are now recognized for Skipped and Inconclusive status in addition to Success, Failure and Ignored.
- A new setting option allows the user to disable checking for the existence of files in the Recent Files list before listing them. This prevents NUnit from appearing to freeze when the file is on a network path that is no longer connected.
- The ITestCaseProvider2 and IDatapointProvider2 interfaces extend ITestCaseProvider and IDatapointProvider with methods that include the fixture for which the test case is being built. Providers may implement either the old or the new interface, but the new interface is required if the data source is contained in the test fixture itself so that the fixture may be constructed with the proper parameters in the case of a parameterized fixture.
Bug Fixes
- Lambda in Throws constraint was not compiling correctly.
- Null reference exception is no longer thrown when adding an assembly to a new project that has not yet been saved.
- Dispose is now called on disposable types created while loading test case parameters.
- Installations that copy NUnit to a single folder (no lib or framework folders) now work correctly.
- Test Assemblies menu item is no longer enabled when no test was loaded
- The Text Output tab of the Settings dialog no longer causes an exception when invoked from the mini-gui.
- Errors in various copyright statements were fixed and the year updated to 2009.
- Control characters in test arguments are now escaped in the display.
- Additional control characters are now escaped in error messages.
- Miscellaneous typographic corrections were made to the documentation.
NUnit 2.5 Final Release - Version 18.104.22.16822 - May 2, 2009
- A new syntax element, Matches(Constraint), allows use of custom constraints, predicates or lambda expressions in constraint expressions.
- The MessageMatch enum used with ExpectedExceptionAttribute has been extended with a new value StartsWith, indicating that the exception message must start with the string provided.
- TestCaseAttribute now supports a MessageMatch property.
- The File menu now allows selecting an alternate runtime, such as Mono, on a machine with multiple CLR implementations installed. This feature is still considered experimental and may change in the future.
- The combo box in the Project Editor allowing selection of a particular runtime type such as Mono for loading the test has been re-enabled.
Bug Fixes
- Provided a workaround to a Mono 2.4 bug in handling remote references to an interface, where the provider is running under MS .NET and the implementation is explicit.
- Fixed a problem with the display of line numbers from a German language stack trace, with lines terminating in a period.
- The Console Runner display now shows the settings for ProcessModel, DomainUsage and RuntimeFramework actually provided, before resolution of any defaults.
- Removed references in the docs to pages that no longer exist.
NUnit 2.5 Release Candidate - Version 126.96.36.19917 - April 27, 2009
- The installation now uses a 'lib' subdirectory to hold dlls.
- The build script target names have been changed to make more sense. In particular, 'package' now builds the default package and targets not intended to be called directly are no longer listed as 'Main Targets' by the -projecthelp option.
- The following Constraints now use the NUnit definition
of equality in comparing items, which may lead to changed behavior
of some tests.
- UniqueItemsConstraint
- CollectionContainsConstraint
- CollectionEquivalentConstraint
- CollectionSubsetConstraint
- Caching is now used to reduce the time required to load tests.
- A new submenu under File allows selecting a runtime version under which to reload the tests. Reloading in this way does not affect any runtime version setting in the project file.
- The project editor now provides a combo box listing known versions of the runtime. Other versions may still be entered in the edit box. Cross-CLR execution (for example, running Mono from .NET) has been disabled in the Gui, since it isn't yet implemented.
- The new stack trace display now follows the NUnit Font settings. The stack display uses the general gui font, while the source code display uses the fixed font.
- The separate settings for Recent Files under .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 have been combined, since the Gui now runs exclusively under .NET 2.0.
- The time required to restore the visual state of the tree after reloading has been substantially reduced, especially for large numbers of tests.
Bug Fixes
- Use of a long assembly name for the ApplicationName of the AppDomain was causing excessively long paths in the shadow cache.
- The Using modifier of EqualConstraint now works as expected for string operands.
- TestCaseAttribute.ExpectedExceptionMessage is no longer ignored.
- The max number of files setting was not being saved when modified in the Gui Settings dialog.
- As a temporary fix, the pnunit.tests.dll has been moved to the same directory as pnunit-agent.exe and pnunit-launcher.exe, since pnunit tests don't allow for setting an appbase separate from the location of the test assembly.
NUnit 2.5 Beta 3 Release - Version 184.108.40.20696 - April 6, 2009
- The Gui is now built against .NET 2.0 only. Tests may still be run under .NET 1.x by running in a separate process.
- The Visual Studio 2003 solution has been removed. Framework and other components may still be built under .NET 1.x through the NAnt script.
- The nunit.framework.extensions assembly has been removed from the build.
- EqualConstraint has been enhanced with
several new modifiers, which may be used immediately after
the Within(...) modifier to indicate how a numeric tolerance value
should be interpreted.
- Ulps = as units in the last place (floating point only)
- Percent = as a percentage of expected value
- Days = as a TimeSpan in days
- Hours = as a TimeSpan in hours
- Minutes = as a TimeSpan in minutes
- Seconds = as a TimeSpan in seconds
- Milliseconds = as a TimeSpan in milliseconds
- Ticks = as a TimeSpan in ticks
- The comparison constraints (GreaterThan, LessThan, etc.), RangeConstraint and CollectionOrderedConstraint may now be used with objects that implement IComparable<T>.
- The syntax used for specifying that a collection is ordered has changed. Is.Ordered is now a property. The property name to use for ordering is specified using Is.Ordered.By(name).
- The following constraints now accept a Using modifier to indicate
that a user-specified comparer should be used:
- EqualConstraint
- GreaterThanConstraint
- GreaterThanOrEqualConstraint
- LessThanConstraint
- LessThanOrEqualConstraint
- RangeConstraint
- CollectionOrderedConstraint
- IComparer
- IComparer<T>
- Comparison<T>
- IEqualityComparer
- IEqualityComparer<T>
NUnit 2.5 Beta 2 Release - Version 184.108.40.20615 - January 15, 2009
- NUnit now includes an implementation of Theories, similar to what is found in JUnit. Support for Theories is provided by the Theory, Datapoint and Datapoints attributes and by the Assume.That method. For more information and further links, see the TheoryAttribute documentation page.
- AssertionHelper has been updated so that the Expect overloads now include the signatures newly introduced for Assert.That.
- The code for Assert is now generated. This is in addition to the files that were generated in beta-1.
- AfterConstraint has been renamed to DelayedConstraint.
- The console runner now supports a /framework option, which allows running the tests under a different version of the CLR.
- The Gui is now able to display the source code for test or production code from the stack trace, provided the assemblies contain source code information and the source code is available. Contributed by Ir�n�e Hottier.
- Reloading the tests after changing settings in a way that modifies the shape of the tree is now handled correctly.
- The Settings Dialog now opens to the page that was last viewed.
NUnit 2.5 Beta 1 Release - Version 184.108.40.20632 - November 27, 2008
- Most of the code for elements of the constraint syntax is now generated. This allows us to more rapidly deploy new constraints with their corresponding syntax. The file SyntaxElements.txt contains the specifications used in generating the code. At this time, we are including both this file and the generated files with the NUnit source, so that those working in other areas of the code don't have to regenerate them each time they make changes.
- The nunit.core.extensions assembly has been removed from the build. Features that were previously in that assembly are now in the nunit.core assembly.
- All third-party addins have been removed from the build and must be downloaded separately from their own sites. An index of such addins is maintained on the NUnit site.
- New attributes are provided to control use of threads by tests. All of
the following may be used on methods, classes or assemblies:
- RequiresThreadAttribute forces creation of a new thread and may optionally indicate the desired ApartmentState for the thread.
- RequiresSTAAttribute causes the test to run in the STA. A new thread is created only if the parent is not in the STA. On methods, the .NET-provided STAThreadAttribute may also be used.
- RequiresMTAAttribute causes the test to run in the MTA. A new thread is created only if the parent is not in the MTA. On methods, the .NET-provided MTAThreadAttribute may also be used.
- TimeoutAttribute is used to set the timeout for tests. When used on classes or assemblies, the timeout value is used as the default timeout for all subordinate test cases. Test cases with a timeout value run on a separate thread and return a failure message if the timeout is exceeded.
- The MaxTimeAttribute specifies a miximum elapsed time for a
test case. If the test takes longer, it is reported as a failure.
This attribute was previously available as an extension.
Note: Unlike TimeoutAttribute, MaxTimeAttribute does not cause the test to be cancelled, but merely times it.
- RepeatAttribute causes a test case to be executed multiple times. This attribute was previously available as an extension.
- PairwiseAttribute now works, generating all pairs of each argument value. [In earlier betas, it was unimpemented and simply generated all combinations.]
- PropertyAttribute has been modified internally to use a dictionary of name/value pairs rather than just a single name and value. This feature is not exposed for direct use, but may be accessed by derived attributes that want to apply multiple named values to the test. For a simple example of usage, see the code for RequiredThreadAttribute.
- The presence of TestCaseSourceAttribute on a method is now sufficient to identify it as a test. As with TestCaseAttribute, use of TestAttribute is optional.
- Assert.That has been extended to allow a delegate or a reference as the argument. By default, these are evaluated before being used by the constraint supplied but some constraints may delay evaluation. The new AfterConstraint is an example.
- An additional overload of Assert.Throws allows passing a constraint or constraint expression as the first argument.
- The syntax for AttributeConstraints has been enhanced so that further tests may be applied to properties of the attribute rather than just checking for its existence.
- AfterConstraint allows delaying the application of a constraint
until a certain time has passed. In it's simplest form, it replaces
use of a Sleep in the code but it also supports polling, which may
allow use of a longer maximum time while still keeping the tests as
fast as possible. The After modifier is permitted on any
constraint, but the delay applies to the entire expression up to the
point where After appears.
Note: Use of After with a simple value makes no sense, since the value will be extracted at the point of call. It's intended use is with delegates and references. If a delegate is used with polling, it may be called multiple times so only methods without side effects should be used in this way.
- NUnit now supports running tests in a separate process or in
multiple processes per assembly. In addition, tests run in
a separate process may use a different runtime version
from that under which NUnit is running.
Note: In the Beta release, execution of tests under Mono from a copy of NUnit that is running under .NET is not yet supported.
- The new /process:xxxxx command line option is used to run tests in a separate process or in multiple processes per assembly.
- A new commandline option, /timeout:nnnn allows you to specify a default timeout value, which is applied to each test case in the run without a Timeout specified.
- The Assembly Info display now uses a scrolling text box and has been enhanced to show information about the Process and AppDomain in which the test is running and the runtime version under that is being used.
- The Project Editor now allows setting the ProcessModel and DomainUsage for a project to control how that project is loaded and run. It also supports setting a target runtime framework for each configuration. If the target runtime is different from the runtime under which NUnit is running, the tests will be run automatically in a separate process under the target runtime.
- The Project Editor no longer reloads the tests as each individual change is made. Tests are reloaded after the editor is closed and only if changes have been made to the overall project configuration or to the active configuration.
- The "Options" dialog is now called "Settings."
- The implementation of constraints has been changed so that it is no
longer necessary to create an additional "Modifier" class when a
custom constraint takes modifiers. If you simply implement each modifier
as a property or method returning the object itself, it will be
usable in the full range of constraint expressions.
Note: Although you can readily create custom constraints, this release of NUnit still lacks the ability to create new syntactic elements without rebuilding the framework.
Bug Fixes
- Loading a single assembly and then adding another assembly using the Add Assembly menu item was not working correctly.
- Reloading tests after settings changes was failing when the new settings changed the shape of the tree in such a way that the new tests didn't match the old ones correctly.
- The Reload Project menu item was followed by a prompt asking if the current project state should be saved first and making the reload work in an unexpected way if you answered yes.
- A class without a TestFixture attribute, containing only TestCase methods, without any Tests, was not recognized as a test fixture.
- Assert.DoesNotThrow was failing to display a user message.
- Xml documentation for Assert.IsNotEmpty and Assert.AreEqual was incorrect.
- CollectionAssert.AreEqual and EqualConstraint were not working with IEnumerables that were not also Collections.
- PlatformAttribute now distinguishes correctly between Vista and Windows 2008 Server.
NUnit 2.5 Alpha 4 Release - Version 22.214.171.12428 - September 14, 2008
- Use of the TestFixtureAttribute is now optional in designating classes that contain tests.
- More than one method may now be marked with the SetUp, TearDown, TestFixtureSetUp and TestFixtureTearDown attributes. Setups in a base class are executed before those in a derived class and teardowns are executed in the reverse order. If there are multiple setups or teardowns defined at the same level, the order is unspecified so this practice is not generally recommended.
- The FactoryAttribute and TestCaseFactoryAttribute introduced in alhpa-3 have been removed. The new TestCaseSourceAttribute allows specification of the name of the source of test cases and - optionally - the type providing the source if it is not the same as the type that contains the test. Only one source may be specified per attribute but the attribute may be applied more than once to indicate multiple sources.
- It is now possibe to specify Categories and Properties on test cases defined using the TestCaseData class.
- Named fields, properties or methods may be used to provide values for individual method parameters using the new ValueSourceAttribute.
- New constraints and corresponding syntactic constructs are provided:
- Is.InRange tests that a value lies within a specified range.
- Has.Attribute() tests for the presence of a specified attribute on a type.
- Is.AssignableTo allows reversing the operands of AssignableFrom for increased clarity in the code and in any error messages when the actual value is of the derived type.
- Throws.Exception allows testing the exception thrown by a delegate in place and provides the ability to make arbitrary tests on the caught exception. Throws.TypeOf() and Throws.InstanceOf() are provided as shorthand for the commonly used Throws.Exception.TypeOf() and Throws.Exception.InstanceOf.
- Throws.Nothing provides for testing that a delegate does not throw. While it doesn't do much, it serves the purpose of converting an unexpected error into a test failure.
- The parsing of constraint expressions written using the fluent interface
has been reorganized internally, with the following benefits:
- Meaningless sequences like "...Null.Null..." or "...And.Or..." will no longer compile - the NUnit tests actually verify this by attempting to compile them.
- Syntax modifiers like Within and IgnoreCase are now only accepted - and shown by intellisense - on constraints that actually make use of them.
- New And and Or infix operators are provided.
- The With provides some ability to group constraints.
Note: Operators are evaluated in the following order:
- Postfix modifiers (highest)
- Not Operator
- And operator (see below)
- Or operator (see below)
- With operator
- Some, None and All operators
- And operator when followed directly by Some, None or All
- Or operator when followed directly by Some, None or All
- Overloaded operator &
- Overloaded operator | (lowest)
- The "syntax helper" classes, Is, Has, Text and List have been moved to the NUnit.Framework namespace, since they seem to have entered the mainstream.
- NUnit 2.5 is able to recognize, load and run NUnitLite tests.
- PropertyConstraint now works with Types when testing for the existence of a named property.
- Experimental support is provided for running tests in a separate process. Currently, this is only exposed in the Gui runner.
- NUnit recognizes a special attribute on
the config element of the nunit project file, runtimeFramework,
which may be set to "net-1.1" or "net-2.0." This causes use of the
appropriate runner if tests are run in a separate process.
Note: Both of the above features are experimental and somewhat fragile. Results are expected to vary for different installations and we ask that problems be reported.
- The Addin Dialog now shows an error message for any addin that fails to load. (from 2.4.8)
- The TestLoader settings dialog provides an option for running tests in a separate process.
- The Assembly Info display now shows two runtime versions for each test assembly: the one for which it was built and the one under which it is currently loaded.
- The RequiredAddinAttribute is now only permitted at the assembly level.
Bug Fixes
- The Gui output panes were failing to use a fixed font. (from 2.4.8)
NUnit 2.5 Alpha 3 Release - Version 220.127.116.1189 - July 7, 2008
- NUnit now uses a new version numbering scheme. The first three dot-separated values represent the release level, as before, while the fourth is a build number tied to the date of the release. This alpha release, for example, is numbered 220.127.116.1189.
- The NUnit source now includes a VS2008 project, in addition to the existing VS2005 and VS2003 projects
- DataSourceAttribute has been replaced with FactoryAttribute. The new attribute may refer to any field, method or property that provides test cases consistent with the signature of the method on which it appears. The naming of this attribute is still a bit unsatisfactory and it may change in the final release.
- The new TestCaseFactoryAttribute class may be used to mark a field, method or property that provides test cases. It specifies the argument types of the test cases that will be provided and is used to identify the cases to be used when the name of a factory is not specified.
- Data may be specified for individual arguments of a parameterized test using the new attributes: ValuesAttribute, RangeAttribute and RandomAttribute. By default, test cases are created using every possible combination of the items provided. Attributes on the test method may specify how data is combined. This release includes SequentialAttribute, CombinatorialAttribute (the default) and PairwiseAttribute. However, Pairwise combination is not yet implemented, so that attribute is currently ignored.
- TestFixture classes may now be generic. They must be marked with or or more instances of TextFixtureAttribute using the new constructor that takes an array of Types. NUnit will instantiate the fixture multiple times, using the type arguments provided.
- Parameterized test methods may now be generic. NUnit will deduce the correct implementation to use based on the types of the parameters provided.
- The new RequiredAddinAttribute may be used to mark tests, fixtures or assemblies, indicating the name of any addin that is required to run the tests. If the addin is not present, the test, fixture or assembly is marked NotRunnable.
- A new assertion and corresponding constraint IsOrdered has been added. (contributed by Simone Busoli)
- PlatformAttribute has been extended to accept the new keywords
NT6, Vista and Win2008Server.
Note: In the current alpha release, NUnit is unable to distintuish between Vista and Windows 2008 Server. Either of them will match all the above values.
- Properties with a collection for a value are now displayed displayed as a comma-separated list in the properties window.
- The IParameterProvider interface has been replaced with ITestCaseProvider. The ParameterProviders extension point has been renamed to TestCaseProviders.
- A new extension point, DataPointProviders, has been added to support extensions that provide data for individual test parameters. Extensions must implement the IDataPointProvider interface.
- A simpler method of providing new data point extensions based on attributes applied to the parameter itself is also available. Such attributes may be derived from ValuesAttribute and do not require any special addin in order to work.
Bug Fixes
- NUnit tests of AssertThrows were not working on systems using non-English cultures.
- Domains were not unloading correctly in some circumstances. Unloading is now done on a separate thread.
- An NUnitSettings.xml file of zero length was causing a crash. (from 2.4.8)
- Invoking the gui with /exclude:XXX, where XXX is a non-existent category, was causing all tests to be excluded. (from 2.4.8)
- Categories were not working properly on repeated tests. (from 2.4.8)
- A serious memory leak was fixed in the NUnit test runners. (from 2.4.8)
- Static SetUp and TearDown methods were not being called in a SetUpFixture.
- The current directory used when executing addins that load tests was not correctly set.
NUnit 2.5 Alpha 2 Release - May 7, 2008
Note: Since this is an alpha level release, the features are not complete and some features present in this release may be removed or changed in future releases.
- This release includes pNUnit, an extended NUnit runner for distributed parallel tests. The pNUnit program was developed at Codice Software for use in testing the Plastic SCM and has been contributed to NUnit. For more info about using pNUnit see the pNUnit site.
- The install now offers Typical, Complete and Custom options. Selecting Typical gets you the NUnit framework, core, console runner and Gui. To install pNUnit, any of the bundled addins or the NUnit tests, select Complete or Custom.
- The RowTestExtension, which was merged into the nunit extension dlls in Alpha-1, is now provided as a separate addin. This is the general approach we plan to take with regard to any bundled addins, since it permits the creator of an addin to provide updates separately from the NUnit release.
- This release includes the CSUnitAddin extension, which allows the running of CSUnit tests under NUnit. The csunit.dll must be available in order to run the tests.
NUnit 2.5 Alpha 1 Release - April 18, 2008
- There are no longer separate distributed packages for .NET 1.1 an 2.0. Both the binary zip and msi packages contain subdirectories for .NET 1.1 and 2.0. In the case of the msi, the user may elect to install either or both of them.
- The Visual Studio solutions and projects are now in a directory tree that is parallel to the source tree. This eliminates problems where the VS2003 and VS2005 builds were interfering with one another and makes room for adding VS2008.
- NUnit is now built using NAnt 0.86 beta 1
- The windows installer is now created using WiX 2.0.5085
- Two new attributes have been added to support passing arguments
to test methods:
- TestCaseAttribute allows the programmer to specify the arguments and a number of optional parameters inline.
- DataSourceAttribute identifies a static property that will provide the arguments and other parameters.
- Two new constraints have been added to permit testing of
application-created paths, without requiring that they exist in
the file system. The following syntax is supported:
- Is.SamePath(string)
- Is.SamePathOrUnder(string)
- The DirectoryAssert class has been added, providing the following Methods:
- AreEqual(DirectoryInfo, DirectoryInfo)
- AreEqual(string, string)
- AreNotEqual(DirectoryInfo, DirectoryInfo)
- AreNotEqual(string, string)
- IsEmpty(DirectoryInfo, DirectoryInfo)
- IsEmpty(string, string)
- IsNotEmpty(DirectoryInfo, DirectoryInfo)
- IsNotEmpty(string, string)
- IsWithin(DirectoryInfo, DirectoryInfo)
- IsWithin(string, string)
- IsNotWithin(DirectoryInfo, DirectoryInfo)
- IsNotWithin(string, string)
- The method Assert.Throws(Type expectedException, TestSnippet code) has been added to provide more control over tests of expected exceptions. TestSnippet is a delegate, which may of course be supplied anonymously under .NET 2.0. If the correct exception type is thrown, the actual exception is returned from the method, allowing further verification to be performed.
- The Assert.DoesNotThrow method may be used to verify that a delegate does not throw an exception.
- The Assert.Pass method allows early termination of a test with a successful result.
- The Assert.Inconclusive method allows returning the new Inconclusive result state.
- NUnit now includes added funtionality in the .NET 2.0 build of
the framework. The following additional features are supported:
- All Asserts and Constraints work with nullable types.
- Some Asserts allow an alternate generic syntax for convenience:
- Assert.IsInstanceOf<T>(object actual);
- Assert.IsNotInstanceOf<T>(object actual);
- Assert.IsAssignableFrom<T>(object actual);
- Assert.IsNotAssignableFrom<T>(object actual);
- Assert.Throws<T>(TypeSnippet code);
- The following obsolete interfaces, classes and methods have been removed:
- The IAsserter interface
- The AbstractAsserter class
- The Assertion class
- The AssertionFailureMessage class
- The old NUnit.Framework.TestCase class used for inheriting test classes
- The Assert.DoAssert() method
- Two ExpectedExceptionAttribute(Type, string) constructor
- Two ExpectedExceptionAttribute(string, string) constructor
- The syntactic constructs in the SyntaxHelpers namespace have been moved to the NUnit.Framework.Syntax.CSharp namespace. The old namespace may still be used for existing classes, but will not be supported after the 2.5 release.
- NUnit now allows use of static methods as tests and for SetUp, TearDown, TestFixtureSetUp and TestFixtureTearDown.
- Failures and Errors are now distinquished internally and in summary reports. Methods that are not run because they are invalid are also reported separately.
- The summary report now displays Errors, Failures, Inconclusive, Ignored and Skipped tests separately. More detailed information on non-runnable tests and setup failures is provided.
- The console summary report is no longer created using a stylesheet, which renders the /transform option meaningless. The option has been removed.
- The default gui display now uses a single tab for all text output. For users upgrading from an earlier release, the current settings are honored. If you wish to change to the new default, use the Restore Defaults button on the Text Output settings dialog.
- The final test run display shows a more detailed summary: passed tests, errors, failures, inconclusive, non-runnable, skipped and ignored.
- The status bar now displays errors and failures separately in.
- The tree display shows non-runnable tests in red and inconclusive tests in orange. Inconclusive tests are temporarily listed on the Tests Not Run tab for this alpha release.
- A new extension point ParameterProviders allows addins to provide data for parameterized tests.
- The following extensions are included in the nunit.core.extensions
and nunit.framework.extensions assemblies:
- The MaxTime extension, which was previously a sample.
- The RowTest extension, which remains an alternative to NUnit's native TestCase syntax.
- The XmlConstraint extension, which allows comparing two xml files

Caledonia gets chance to three-peat
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Caledonia will play for a third straight MSHSL Class 2A state championship. The Warriors punched their ticket to the 2012 title game with a 26-24 victory over BOLD. With the win, Caledonia is now 12-0 on the season.
There have been two consistent keys to Caledonia's success this season. Their defense has held opponents to less then a touchdown per game. And the running game averages over 250-yards per contest.
Neither played a dominating factor in the state semifinal. BOLD's 24-points were the most allowed in a game this year by Caledonia. And the Warriors ended the game with 78-yards rushing.17434698
Caledonia just made the most of their opportunities. They broke a 7-7 tie in the 3rd quarter when Levi Schmitz blocked a punt and recovered the ball in the endzone.
Then in the 4th quarter with a 20-17 lead, Jacob Swindell picked off a pass deep in BOLD territory which set up an Alex Varney touchdown run.
Varney was also close to flawless when it came to throwing the football. He completed 7 of his 11 attempts for one touchdown on a 46 yard pass to Schmitz. Another Schmitz grab got the Warriors to the one yard line setting up a Ryan Pitts touchdown run.
Caledonia moves on to the championship game to face Moose Lake/Willow River, a rematch of the 2011 state title contest. It will be played November, 23 at 1:00 p.m. at the Metrdome.

What types of discipline do violations bring?
Who needs a controlled substances registration?
Any person, business, or entity in Missouri that wants to conduct any activities with controlled substances must have a registration. Examples would be purchasing, stocking, prescribing, administering, dispensing, manufacturing, distributing, and conducting research, or any other type of activity with controlled substances.
What authority do I have with or without a registration?
In order to have authority with controlled substances a person must have authority under the statutes of Missouri and the federal government. A person must have statutory authority or a professional license if required, then they must have a state registration from our bureau, and then finally a federal registration from the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. Long term care facilities are not required to have a DEA number for their emergency kits.
How many registrations do I need?
Most practitioners have one registration at their primary Missouri practice location where patient care occurs and controlled substance activities take place. Although they have one primary registered location, they may travel and prescribe at other places. A separate registration is required at each separate location where controlled substances are stocked and stored. Multiple registrations are required if a practitioner stocks controlled substances in multiple locations.
Separate registrations may be needed for separate activities. The primary registration will allow a practitioner to purchase, stock, dispense, prescribe and administer. Separate registrations are required to perform research, import, export, manufacture or distribute.
How do I get a Missouri Controlled Substances Registration?
A person may apply either in writing or electronically online. Under our link to applications and forms a person may print a paper application that may be mailed to the department. A person may also click a link to apply online electronically and click-to-pay with a credit card.
How long does it take to get a registration?
The amount of time depends upon the amount of workload arriving at the bureau daily and whether the applications are submitted complete and error free. Applications are processed in the same order that they arrive. Applications are processed and issued daily. The registration system is backed up and published on our website every night. Errors on the application require correspondence and delay the process. Applicants with discipline histories or who maybe undergoing current discipline may take longer to process. Most applications are processed and issued within the same week that they arrive.
How do I get my registration certificate?
Once registrations are issued the name of the registrant is placed into the registry. A person may verify and print a registration from the bureau's website by searching under their name.
What can cause my registration to terminate?
Pursuant to law, the following situations cause a registration to terminate:
- The registration expires;
- The registrant dies;
- The registrant goes out of business or has loss of their professional license;
- A change in ownership of a business;
- If the registrant moves or changes address from what is printed on their certificate and the registrant does not notify the bureau and received an updated registration within 30 days. If the change in address is not updated in 30 days then the prior registration automatically terminates on the 31st day after the change in address.
- A registrant may write the bureau and voluntary close their registration.
What is the bureau's authority and jurisdiction?
The bureau's authority is to regulate controlled substance activities only. The bureau does not have authority regarding non-controlled drugs. The bureau's authority is limited to controlled substances security and record keeping. The bureau does not have authority in areas regarding clinical issues or complaints regarding over-prescribing or under-prescribing. Complaints regarding practice issues are forwarded to the appropriate licensing board.
Who has authority to inspect my controlled substances and records?
Pursuant to Section 195.375.5, RSMo, prescriptions, orders, and records, required by sections 195.005 to 195.425, and stocks of controlled substances shall be open for inspection only to federal, state, county, and municipal officers, whose duty it is to enforce the laws of this state or of the United States relating to narcotic drugs.
Law enforcement officers and regulatory investigators are held to the same level of confidentiality that the practitioners are. Registrants who release records to the BNDD as required by state law, are given immunity from civil liability.
What are the most common violations by registrants?
The most common violations are issues regarding controlled substance record keeping. Common record's violations are failure to conduct annual inventories correctly, failure to maintain and document purchasing and receipt records and failing to correctly document dispensing logs. Having a registration terminate for failing to notify the bureau of an address change is common.
Other types of violations regarding security and safety of the public are violations such as failing to provide adequate security for controlled substances, stealing drugs, self-administering, impairment, falsifying records and issuing prescriptions in bad faith.
How do I handle a change of name or address?
A registrant may update their registration by changing their name, address or drug schedules. The requests should be submitted in writing to the bureau and the requests will be processed as allowed for no fee. Requests can be submitted electronically through the bureau's registration process or requests can be faxed or emailed to the bureau. All changes must be signed, submitted and approved by the registrant.
How do I handle a change of ownership in my business?
A change in ownership requires a new registration by the new controlling part. The bureau considers the ownership to change whenever a majority or over 50% of the stocks or assets have changed hands. There is a grace period where the new owner may operate under the seller's registration. The seller must grant their permission and the grace period is for 30 days, beginning at the date of sale/closing. By the 31st day the new owner must have their own registration.
How do I handle a loss of controlled substances?
The bureau's state regulations are different than the federal DEA regulations.
All losses, thefts and diversions must be reported to the bureau immediately upon discovery. A loss report form must be submitted to the bureau within 7 days of discovering the loss. If more time is needed the registrant may contact the bureau and ask for more time.
A drug is considered "lost" if it is missing and the registrant does not know where it went or what happened to it.
Insignificant losses are those instances where lawful activity was taking place and something happened to make the drug un-recoverable. A tablet was stepped on and crushed, a bottle was spilled, or a container leaked. In these cases there was no theft and the registrant knows what happened to the drugs. These instances are documented on paper and stapled to the annual inventory, but no loss form is required to the bureau. This is detailed in regulation 19 CSR 30-1.034. A loss report form is available on the bureau's link to forms on our website.
What types of discipline do violations bring?
Discipline varies on the number and severity of violations, the threat to the public's health and safety, and previous actions or issues with the registrant. According to Section 195.040, RSMo, depending upon the nature and magnitude of the violations identified, the bureau may pursue any of the following:
Non-Public Actions—Confidential and not shared with the public or reported to a national database:
- Issue a Letter of Warning
- Issue a Letter of Censure
Public Actions that may be shared with the public and reported to a national database:
- Denial of an application for a registration;
- Registration placed on probation with certain terms and conditions;
- Suspension of a registration;
- Revocation of a registration
The bureau is only authorized to pick one type of discipline and cannot combine two types.

Technology and access
INTERPOL and Forensic Technology have launched a public-private partnership that enables INTERPOL to act as the world's first international hub for the cross-border exchange of ballistic data.
In an effort to improve access to essential investigative tools, we are providing the network through which any member country that is equipped with IBIS® will be able to share and compare ballistic data.
How IBIS® technology works
IBIS captures digital images of the unique microscopic markings that are found on fired bullets and cartridge cases. An electronic signature is extracted from each image and is compared against the database of previously entered images.
The system provides potential matches (hits) that may link two or more crimes or a suspect's gun to prior crime(s), thus allowing forensic experts to give police more timely information that can be used to help solve and prevent crimes.
Countries using IBIS on a national level have generated more than 60,000 matches in total. These, in turn, have linked some 120,000 gun-related crimes by providing police with crime-solving leads which would not have been attainable through other means.
The IBIN system takes investigations to the next level by allowing countries to compare data internationally.
Access for non-IBIN members
Law enforcement agencies from non-IBIN member countries can benefit from IBIN's international ballistics database. In order to utilize this database, you will need to contact the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in your country for assistance.
For test fires, simply follow the steps outlined in the IBIN Handbook (pages 12 to 14) which will walk you through the process.
For evidence, you will first need to follow the steps for double-casting resin replicas (pages 61 to 91) of your exhibits as described in the IBIN Handbook before following the same process outlined for test fires above.
For more information, please contact the Firearms unit.

|Stripers and Coastal Gamefish Stripers, Blues, Inshore tuna!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
You really can't believe it until you see one swim right past in a foot or less of water!!!!:eyecrazy:
|50 inch reds? ? ? :eyecrazy:
The name of the yarn for this crab pattern is Aunt Lydia's Craft & Rug Yarn. It is available at some, but not all craft stores. If not sure about how to tie Del Brown's Merkin, it is in Lefty Kreh's Saltwater Fly Patterns, and in Flies For Saltwater, by Dick Stewart & Farrow Allen.
Carolina reds
Had a couple of tough outings on my first couple of redfish trips since I returned from Alaska. We got some fish but we worked for them. You would not believe how hot it has been down here. And we get these wicked thunderstorms almost every night. Therefore the water is muddier than normal, I think the salinity is down a little, the wind is howling too and of course this makes sight fishing pretty tough. The weather is calming down and I am seeing a bit of a difference now and the fishing should be getting better soon. I haven't heard of any giant reds being caught on bait up in Pamlico Sound yet but when I do...I know of some places where they swim in water so shallow that they can't cover their backs. I am talking about reds of over 40 inches and even over 50 inches. Quite a shot to get one on fly. We'll be using 10 wts and 20 pound tippet and really leaning on them to get them in quickly. There have been a lot of reports of tarpon running the coast and some guys getting them on bait in Pamlico. I keep a 12 wt rigged and ready, however the only time you spot them is when they are rolling. My hook up rate on rolling tarpon is pretty low. When I have cast to them in FL I rarely get a bite. Anybody ever had much success with tarpon that are rolling but not visibly feeding? Also I have been looking for the yarn to tie Merkin crab flies with. Can't find it. I need to tie crabs about the size of an old silver dollar. Any hints from permit fishermen or anybody who has done it (actually caught a permit on fly). These big reds in the shallows are very difficult. Have not caught one on fly yet. Will soon...

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Does the home come with Lobot?
That would be so cool. You go for a swim in the pool and then you press a button on the side and a man with a remote-controlled head set comes and hands you a beach towel.
Then a slave girl enters and you say, "Now who might you be?"
I know that neighborhood, it's pretty deep into Beverly Hills, it looks like he's getting a good price for it in this market since it's kinda mid-sized. He's doubling his original investment though, with inflation he paid only $1.2mil in today's dollars. I hope he is only doing this to get away from LA and relax.
Looks like a nice place, I don't like the colors, and the angles on that pool seem downright dangerous, but the deck looks neat, and it keeps the theme up there of foliage that's a little out of control.

Awareness with Wisdom: Insight Meditation Retreat (9 days)
August 1 – 10, 2014 (Friday to Sunday)
Registration for this retreat is closed
All scholarship funds for this retreat have been awarded.
On this silent retreat, suitable for all, we will bring a persevering awareness to the stillness of sitting meditation, as well as to all our general activities. This balance of gentle yet energized attention to the direct experience of the mind and body is a powerful foundation for the gradual development of faith and stability of mind, and for deep insights to arise. These transform our relationship to all life experiences. With practice, even in the midst of our daily activities, we can rest in an enduring sense of wellbeing in every situation.
Traditional teachings and instructions will be offered on mindfulness of mind, body and awareness. This retreat will include a slightly modified schedule from other IMS retreats. The teachers will be assisted by Vance Pryor.

In China, stocks fell today amid worries that efforts there to curb home prices will hurt corporate earnings. But brokerages are advising investors to buys stocks in South Korea and Thailand.
Thailand's SET Index rose 1.3% during trading Tuesday, adding to yesterday's 3% rally, while the Korea Stock Exchange KOSPI Index rose 0.3%. That's a nice bump compared to the 1.3% drop by the Shanghai Composite Index.
The enthusiasm stems from calls by pundits at several firms. Following last week's 7.5% drop by Thailand's stock market, Deutsche Bank wrote yesterday that recent share price declines are an opportunity to add shares selectively, according to Bloomberg. Morgan Stanley said in a separate report dated yesterday that the recent slide in Thai shares is overdone.
And Credit Suisse called Korea the most underowned market by foreign investors, according to FT.com.
These calls were echoes by the performance of various nation-specific exchange traded funds traded in the U.S. The MSCI Thailand Capped Investable Market ETF (THD) rose 2.46% to $91.10 during late morning market action, while the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) rose 1.4% to $59.3o.
