|Topic Review (Newest First)
|How I make up my mind is to ask my most trusted vet what they would do if it were there dog. A good bit of advise I got with one circumstance was "You will always wonder "what if" if you don't do it."
|I would also wait for all tests to come back. I think everyone's goal is to get as much time as possible with our dogs. If the survival rate is greater then 60 percent I would seriously consider it. A dog with no medical issues prior would also sway me in the direction of doing whatever it took to prolong life. If it's a case of poor quality of life after the surgery then I would consider letting go. It's hard but only you know your dog, his activity level and all of the stuff that could make the decision you have to make more bearable.

Thanks, Sue
I am now faced with a substantial bill, but would I do it again?? I am sure I would, we knew he had a 50/50 chance going in (it was reduced to 10% once she saw what was going on). But it's something you have to weigh, and a decision you have to make, one way or another. NEVER easy. He, too, had been healthy until then. (heavy heart here)

I would wait and want to know what the "cause" was, it doesn't sound like they did the scan yet? I'd want the diagnosis from that first before I made any decisions.
I will say,if my dog, and it did require the surgery you speak of, I would also want to know what the percentage of succes was? What are the alternatives?

|My heart goes out to you for this very difficult decision. I think all the responses have been very good. Its always great to get a 2nd specialist opinion because it might make the decision a little easier. If its an option, it would be nice to get your boy home to be comfortable for as long as possible with pain manangent. I wish you the best in this very difficult time.
|I'm so sorry you're having to make this decision, it's so heartbreaking. I think that if he's looking at very major invasive surgery, then this might be too much. It's easier for me to say that, since he's not a part of me. Hugs to you,lots of them, because I know this is one of the hardest things we have to face.
Everyone will have a different opinion on this but I tell you what I would do, mostly based on the age (10 yrs) for your dog.
My goal would be to do the best to keep him as healthy and comfortable as I could. And major heart surgery would NOT be on my radar. At that age, the surgury could easily kill him, recovery would be rough, and no assurance that would add any extra time either.
So I'd go to specialist to make sure the testing was as clear as it could be NON-invasively so I would have a better grasp on what was going on. Then I'd use the appropriate meds to keep him as comfortable as I could.
There are also holistic vets that I know do amazing things to keep our dogs comfortable. So you may want to look at that also.
Good luck.
I went through something very similar with my dog of 12 years, that I raised from 8 week old pup. And as a veterinary technician, I've seen this situation from many sides.
For me, it was about doing what was best for my dog. She had given me 12 years of joy & companionship & comfort. Though I did not want to lose her yet, it was the best way for me to return all the great times she had given me, by ending her suffering.
As a tech, I have seen animals that we all knew had a chance euthanized by owners for either financial or personal reasons, without giving a crucial chance.
I have also seen MANY cases where we have said the pet has little to no chance, & had to watch & care for the animal, suffering & dying a little more each day, undergoing hopeless procedures because the owner couldnt let go.
In the end, listen very carefully to your vet's HONEST opinion, & make the decision you feel has the best chance of alleviating your dog's suffering, whether by surgery or euthanasia.
I'm so sorry this is happening for you. It breaks my heart. I wish I could give you a solid answer to ease your heart, but we can only give our opinion on matters so close to the heart.
Praying for you and your dog.

Hi Sue.
Sorry for your and Chance's suffering. I know how hard this is and how you are racking your brain for a clear answer. Here is the way I look at it. Given the potential severity and his age, from MY perspective, you are in a range where anything you choose is okay morally and ethically and spiritually. There are several courses you can likely take and I think all or any are okay.
My Aussie recently was gaining lots of fluid in her body. The vet thought cancer or congestive heart failure. Diuretics and prednisone got us a good month and then she died relatively fast. My decision, given her age and the good life she led, was pallative care. I never did tests to see what the problem really was because it didn't factor into my decision. I suppose others might have tried more, and that is fine. But I knew that I would not consent to surgery, the rehab would have been too much for her.
My cross to bear.
I wish you well and again, I think you are in a range where anything is okay.
My boy Chance. I just don't know what's best for him.
I know I hav'nt posted much on these boards but I've read them for years. I even adoped my dog molly off the urgent boards and drove to TN to get her in 2008.
Chance just turned 10 in nov. Then 2 days after xmas I had to take him to the ER because he was having trouble breathing. They foung fluid in his chest. They ran some blood tests and think it may be a blockage in his chest that could be fixed with surgery. My vet wanted him to go back in 4 weeks for a fu cxr. We did that this Monday. The first time they removed 2 liters of fluid. This time 9 pounds. I'm not sure what that is in liters. So I made an app and the university of Illinois vet hospital to see what they think. The night before his app yesterday he ended up getting diarreah and they wanted to do a cat scan but he was dehydrated from that. so I left him there over night last night to get iv fluids and do a cat scan today to see if they can find the cause.
if it is that blockage in his chest the only way to fix it is a very invasive surgery because they have to open his whole chest up to fix it.i don't want him to suffer because I'm selfish but really the only thing wrong before now was some arthritis that was controlled with medication. If this was fixed he could have another 2 yrs.
What would you do? I know everyone here loves their dogs as much as I love mine. I'm just so torn up over what's best right now. sorry for spelling errors, hard to see thru tears
Thanks, Sue

Although it's been a while since I've done this (3/14/08) I noticed the HK thread has been kinda stagnant so I thought I would provide my first attempt at customizing one of my handguns, H&K's P2000SK. In short, it's a great gun, but as with many subcompacts, pinky dangling is a source of discomfort for many. I decided I'd had enough of that crap and went looking for a solution. I did find a guy on HKPRO forums who had mentioned he tinkered with a G26 Pearce grip extension and a dremel and got it to fit. He had also mentioned the process was relatively easy. He was right.
His post however, was lacking detailed information, or any information really, on what to do. Considering these grip extensions were $7 a piece, I figured I'd buy a handful just in case I ran into a few snags. Turns out my first two runs were par for the course so I have a couple spare grip extensions!
Anyhow, there are really only three things you need to do. I've provided some uncompressed images which should better explain what I'm talking about. You know what they say about a picture being worth 1000 words and all. Anyhow, on with the show.
1) Create a new magazine base hole in front of the the default Glock 1/8 in. hole. The Glock hole is roughly 1/8 in diameter whereas the H&K hole is roughly 1/4 in. diameter. Note the H&K hole is centered in the Pearce grip text, which is now mostly removed because the hole is there:
2) Shave a dip, top-front of the extension, to accomodate for the 1/16 in. lip on the P2000SK's magazine well. To understand how the magazine well's lip protrudes (and consequently what the end-result of a modded pearce-grip should look like), see:
This is probably the trickiest part of this entire project. You do not want your newly created dip to be too wide because if it's too wide the extension will want to slide backward. Techncially the magazine base stop which will fit in your newly-drilled hole should prevent this, but there's no reason to put any unnecessary strain on the internals of the mag because this could weaken the spring, not to mention I personally wouldn't trust a little spring-enforced button to be the only thing holding a piece of plastic into place on a firearm.
The trick here is to make sure the bends at the top front corners of the extension are kept intact. In short, both the extension and the factory mag baseplate should only have the option of being removed by sliding off the magazine IN A FORWARD MOTION. Again, be sure the bends at the top-front corners of the extension remain intact. This will preserve the process of removing the extension by depressing the magazine base button in conjunction with a FORWARD MOTION of the extension and/or magazine baseplate.
You will notice the extension bends wrap around the bottom ends of the front of the magazine shaft in the below photo:
3) shave a very small amount off the rear of the extension (possibly optional). The tolerance between the rear part extension and the rear part of the magazine well was much smaller than I like. To prevent friction in the area, I shaved off a VERY SMALL potion from the rear of the extension, as seen here:
I'm talking, 1/32 in. if that.
A couple notes:
-the overall fit of the extension to the magazine is a little tight, but I'd rather it be requiring a little force to get on and off than a lack of tension holding it in place.
-as you mold the extension to fit the weapon, make frequent spot-checks of your work by doing some dry fitting. It's no big deal if you haven't shaved off enough, but if you've shaved off too much then you have to start over with a new extension!!!!
-my source of this idea claimed it took him 20 minutes. I'm not sure if he was a master dremel wielder or what, but this took me close to an hour per extension (I do lots of dry fittings; call me paranoid). Still, this is a marginal amount of time and well worth the investment.
For a full list of photos I took:
I hope this helps! Feedback welcome....enjoy!

Xiong Wei was attracted to the ideas of the Falun Gong spiritual movement whose adherent are found all over the world, but in its Chinese birth place to belong is to soon discover punishment or even jail. The Falun Gong dates only from 1992 when it was founded on principles of "truthfulness, compassion and forbearance." Her initial crime was to order software which allowed access to the Falun Gong website, an oversight that was soon corrected by police who grabbed her and she soon wound up in prison. After one night in jail, Ms. Wei was sent to the notorious women's labor camp in Daxing. Her task was packing between 6,000 to 8,000 chop sticks every day. There were penalties for misbehavior.
Fortunately, her case was taken up by prominent Europeans and after two years, Ms. Wei was released and she shortly released herself from life in China. She noted "the guards knew that they couldn't leave any visible marks of torture on m y body, because it might have gotten international attention." Unfortunately, for the thousands of others in Chinese labor camps no international groups campaign for their release.
I doubt if I will reach for chop sticks on my next trip to a Chinese restaurant.

CNN's Ed Henry left out key facts in report on Cornyn comments on judges
In a report on political fallout from the Terri Schiavo case, CNN congressional correspondent Ed Henry said that the case had "fueled Republican anger at state and federal judges," but he omitted the fact that liberal and conservative judges alike rejected appeals by Schiavo's parents to restore her feeding tube. In addition, while airing a portion of Sen. John Cornyn's (R-TX) Senate floor speech suggesting that "judicial activism" had motivated violence against judges, Henry neglected to note that two recent incidents of violence targeting judges were both apparently motivated by personal grievances, not by alleged "judicial activism" -- a term Henry made no effort to define.
From the April 5 edition of CNN's Inside Politics:
HENRY: The politically charged battle over Terri Schiavo fueled Republican anger at state and federal judges. Now Senator John Cornyn has taken the criticism a step further, suggesting recent violence against judges may be tied to public disgust with judicial activism.
CORNYN [clip]: I wonder if there may be some connection between the perception in some quarters, on some occasions, where judges are making political decisions yet are unaccountable to the public that it builds up and builds up and builds up to the point where some people engage in violence.
HENRY: Cornyn, a former state Supreme Court justice in Texas, made clear he does not believe the violence was justified. But Democrats called the comments irresponsible.
In asserting that the Schiavo case had "fueled Republican anger" at judges, Henry omitted a key fact: Efforts by Terri Schiavo's parents to restore her feeding tube were rejected by federal courts at all levels [1], including the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals -- which consists of a 7-5 Republican majority -- and the Supreme Court, seven of whose nine justices are Republican appointees. And it was a staunchly conservative [2] 11th Circuit judge, Stanley F. Birch Jr., who wrote a stinging rebuke of Congress and President Bush for their rush to pass a bill that granted the federal courts jurisdiction over the Schiavo case. Birch wrote [3]:
A popular epithet directed by some members of society, including some members of Congress, toward the judiciary involves the denunciation of "activist judges." Generally, the definition of an "activist judge" is one who decides the outcome of a controversy before him according to personal conviction, even one sincerely held, as opposed to the dictates of the law as constrained by legal precedent and, ultimately, our Constitution. In resolving the Schiavo controversy it is my judgment that, despite sincere and altruistic motivation, the legislative and executive branches of our government have acted in a manner demonstrably at odds with our Founding Fathers' blueprint for the governance of a free people -- our Constitution. [p. 3]
Henry also failed to note that contrary to Cornyn's statement, the two most recent acts of violence targeting judges are apparently unrelated to "judicial activism." The Washington Post noted [4] in its April 5 report on Cornyn's comments:
Two fatal episodes made headlines this year, although authorities said the motives appeared to be personal, not political. In Chicago, a man fatally shot the husband and mother of a federal judge who had ruled against him in a medical malpractice suit. And in Atlanta last month, a man broke away from a deputy and fatally shot four people, including the judge presiding over his rape trial.
Henry's use of the term "judicial activism" is only the most recent example of CNN reporters and hosts referring to "judicial activism" and "activist judges" without explaining what these terms mean. As explained in a November 2004 Atlantic Monthly article [5], Karl Rove, adviser to President Bush, and other conservatives have used these phrases to stoke political outrage across diverse groups of conservatives:
Among Rove's other innovations was a savvy use of language, developed for speaking to the conservative base about judicial races. Candidates were to attack "liberal activist judges" and to present themselves as "people who will strictly interpret the law and not rewrite it from the bench." A former Rove staffer explained to me that the term "activist judges" motivates all sorts of people for very different reasons. If you're a religious conservative, he said, it means judges who established abortion rights or who interpret Massachusetts's equal-protection clause as applying to gays. If you're a business conservative, it means those who allow exorbitant jury awards. And in Alabama especially, the term conjures up those who forced integration. "The attraction of calling yourself a 'strict constructionist,' " as Rove's candidates did, this staffer explained, "is that you can attract business conservatives, social conservatives, and moderates who simply want a reasonable standard of justice."
By invoking the term "judicial activism" to describe Republicans' complaints about the judiciary -- without noting its origins or providing a definition -- journalists like Henry implicitly endorse the view that Republicans alone stand for the opposite principle: that the role of a judge is to interpret rather than make the law. In reality, no one disagrees with that assertion. Rather, the debate is over the proper interpretation of the law in a particular case. In fact, in the case that apparently motivated Cornyn's remarks, the conservative Birch blasted the Republican-run Congress and President Bush for overreaching and implied that it was they who were guilty of ignoring the Constitution in order to achieve a desired policy outcome. Far from having any intrinsic meaning, "judicial activism" is a phrase adopted by Republicans to great effect and often directed at judges for decisions that are deemed activist only because the judges' critics don't like the outcome.
In a segment [6] that ran twice on CNN on April 5, on Inside Politics and on Lou Dobbs Tonight, CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider repeated Republican charges that "activist judges" were to blame in the Schiavo case without questioning this formulation:
SCHNEIDER: Take the Terri Schiavo case. Republicans portrayed activist judges as the villains.
Schneider previously reproduced the conservative slant on judicial activism on the March 21 edition [7] of Live From...:
SCHNEIDER: Religious conservatives and other conservatives have protested judicial activism for all these decades on what issues? Abortion, school prayer, sex education, pornography, same-sex marriage, the mandated teaching of evolution, and now, of course, the issue of end-of-life decisions and assisted suicide. Again and again and again, they see the judiciary as power-grabbing activists, and most importantly, violating their own personal religious liberties.
Schneider also used similar language to describe the Schiavo case on March 20 [8], the weekend Congress passed the legislation giving the federal judiciary jurisdiction over the case:
SCHNEIDER: What motivates, of course, a lot of the critics of the Florida decision has been fury really over judicial activism and the sense that the state courts in Florida have usurped their authority in making the decision that the feeding tube could be removed. Their argument is this is another case -- yet another case, in their view, the view of many conservatives, where activist judges have violated what they consider the culture of life.
Similarly, on the March 27 edition [9] of CNN's Reliable Sources, host Howard Kurtz stated that Republicans "usually oppose judicial activism" but, like Schneider and Henry, he offered no definition of the term:
KURTZ: But I want to ask [panelist and syndicated columnist] Steve Roberts, is it fair in the coverage for journalists to note that Republicans, who pushed the bill through Congress, usually support states' rights and usually oppose judicial activism?

Re: Help on mathieu equation needed

You can look at the following
Eqn = w''[v] + w (a - 2q Cos[3 v] ) == 0;
Eqn = w''[v]/w[v] == - (a - 2q Cos[3 v] );
Homogenous Solution:
eqn0 = w0''[v]/w0[v] == 0;
Flatten[ DSolve[eqn0,w0[v],v] ]
w0[v_] = w0[v] /. %
C[1] + v*C[2]
Constant Solution:
eqn1 = w1''[v]/w1[v] == - a
Flatten[ DSolve[%,w1[v],v] ]
w1[v_] = w1[v] /. %
E^(-I*a^(1/2)*v)*C[1] + E^(I*a^(1/2)*v)*C[2]
Fourier Solution:
eqn2 = w2''[v]/w2[v] == c[n] E^(I n v)
Flatten[ DSolve[eqn2,w2[v],v] ]
w2[v_,n_] = w2[v] /. %
BesselJ[0, 2*(n^(-2))^(1/2)*(E^(I*n*v)*c[n])^
Only two terms of the fourier solution show up the n=-3 and n=3 terms
w2[v,-3], and w2[v, 3].
Full Solution
solution[v_]= w0[v] + w1[v] + w2[v,-3] + w2[v,3]
Taking out dummy constants C[1] etc. and replacing c[3] & c[-3] with q, the
constants of the 3rd term in the fourier series we have:
test[v_]= c1 + E^(-I*a^(1/2)*v)*c2 +
v*c3 + E^( I*a^(1/2)*v)*c4 +
BesselJ[0, (2*(E^(-3*I*v)*q)^
(1/2))/3]*c5 +
BesselJ[0, (2*(E^( 3*I*v)*q)^
(1/2))/3]*c6 +
2*BesselK[0, (2*I)/3*(E^(-3*I*v)*q)^
(1/2)]*c7 +
2*BesselK[0, (2*I)/3*(E^( 3*I*v)*q)^
I cannot prove that the above is a correct solution.
or a solution at all.
There are obvious questions of the validity of these superpositions, and the
use of the -3 term in the evaluation of the fourier solution may cause some
problems. Further work is possible to extract REAL
terms from the above.

Posted by Melissa Parrish on the B2C Marketing Professionals Blog on May 9, 2012
Back in March, I hinted at my discomfort with the way SoLoMo has come to mean technology-focused, reductive marketing campaigns usually solely focused on the "check-in." But the reason people want to talk about SoLoMo is because of real trends in consumer adoption of technology and advanced technology behaviors. Those of you who were at Forrester's Marketing Leadership Forum last month know that this thinking evolved into what we've been calling the Always Addressable Customer — a topic that I haven't stopped talking about since we debuted it. For those of you who haven't yet heard the term, the Always Addressable Customer is someone who:
· Owns and uses at least 3 data connected devices
· Accesses the Internet multiple times per day
· Goes online from multiple physical locations (for example: home, work, in the car, and at the mall)
These customers require marketers to think differently about their programs if they want to be effective. Always Addressable Customers don't stop to think about their devices or "technology solutions." Rather, technology is simply how they live their lives and get stuff done. It means that you can now reach this ultra-connected audience wherever they are, but more importantly, wherever and whenever they need you. That "need" is key here: I'm not talking about your ability to bombard your customer with irrelevant messages. I'm talking about how you can now provide true service and value to your customers whenever and wherever they need it.


text: I thought I would check with all the knowledgeable folks here, especially because being able to view skating competitions is a must! I am most definitely NOT a techie, lol. My laptop is on it's last leg and I want to replace it with either a tablet or netbook. Am I correct that ipads do not support Adobe Flash, so viewing skating comps would be impossible? If that indeed is true, I do see there are some other brand tablets like Samsung and Toshiba which might have that capability. Am I correct? I do not use my computer for work. I basically use it for email, shopping, paying bills, twitter & Facebook, and of course videos and live streaming of events. Would that all be possible with a tablet, or would it be wiser to go with a netbook type device? Thank you!

washington, d.c.
Robert M. Gurney, FAIA, and his client shared a philosophical approach to this suburban infill project—one that dictated an efficient footprint and acknowledges the nearby urban core. "Most of the neighborhood's new Colonial and Craftsman-style houses are too big for their lots," Gurney says. "He wanted to have green space." The ground-face block cube has windows of varying sizes to focus and edit views, and its flat roof adds 1,100 square feet for outdoor living. The judges called the outcome "very elegant," praising the composition, materials, and the "roof-level porch."

My latest litter is growing fast! They are 3 weeks old now, 6 beautiful Lab pups. 4 Black males, 1 black female and 1 Chocolate female. We are spending lots of time socializing them right now. Introducing loud noises and new situations, I can't wait until 5 weeks when they get their first shots so I can get them outside and toss a wingclipped pigeon for them. I love watching the "lights" come on! Hope the weather stays warm so we can intro to water before they go to new owners.
We have taken deposits on 3 of them so far.

My Ride: 2000 328i
Tires for my 328i
Hi everyone, I have a 2000 328i (122,000 km) with the original all season Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires. It's finally time to replace these nearly worn out tires (around 1mm from the tread wear bars), so I'm wondering what would be a reasonably priced replacement. I put on winter tires in late October to late April (when the temperature is going to be lower than 10C) - Michelin Pilot Alpin, so the all season tires only get half a year's use. I only drive around 8300 km per year. I don't have any complaints with these OE tires. I mostly do city driving, and I don't drive my car hard that much anymore. My tire priorities are treadlife, ride/comfort and finally handling in a performance tire, if I have to choose. Should I stay with all season tires or would summer tires be fine? I read that all season tires will last longer than summer tires. Is run flat worth it over tubeless? Do I need to stay with 91H tires? Is it better to buy tires now or wait until the Spring? Canadian Tire has a all season tire sale on right now. I live in Ottawa, Canada, so I need to find replacement tires around here, or a company that can ship here.
The original tires are 205/55/R16, 91H
tubeless, treadwear 400, traction A, temperature A. The manufacturer's rating is 70,000 km.
I've done some looking around at tirerack.com, ottawatiresdirect.com, canadiantire.ca.

text: I thought I'd start this thread as an extension of the resume writer thread that was on here a couple of weeks ago. I have so many questions, and some of you seem to know the answers. Feel free to ask any questions here that we can all debate and hopefully answer. Here's my first two. -The jobs I'm looking for are about 3 hours away from where I live--where I have more family. It's in another state. Would that discourage prospective employers from looking at my qualifications/resume? I could technically list my brother's address, as it's where I want to relocate, but I feel like that would be dishonest. -Second, there's the dreaded question on online applications: can we contact your present employer? I always check no because I don't want my current company/manager to know I'm looking for another job. I don't think he would give me a bad review (he's been with us about 3 months where I've been there 2.5 years so he doesn't really know me) but still I don't really want him to know about it. Thanks for all the help! ETA: If anyone would be willing to look at my resume and give feedback, please send me a private message. I'll take all the people looking at it that I can get. Thanks!

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by Darth Tater, Sep 24, 2013.
Maybe DetTeam is actually a robot....
Not a robot. A terminator. Programmed by Skynet to eliminate all opponents in the hockey and advanced basketball leagues this season
You came too damned close to stealing my football trophy too, Arnold!
Those damm MSU guys are so sneaky. The fact that the MSU basketball team is tanking at a bad time must be causing Detteam to take it out on us.
Ah'll be back for you at the B1G tournament
The Commissioners thoughts at the end of the regular season: I did not enjoy the season very much. I just was not interested. My team sucked but I felt most of our team sucked. In the end, only 15 wins separated first place from last place. Junior started out for the first two thirds of the season a head and shoulder above the rest. But then he cooled off and eventually was blown out the last three out of four weeks of the season and ended up in third place. Mikhail was in the pack playing lousy like the rest of us all season but then exploded three of the last four weeks and ended up in first place. My team ended up in fourth place out of eight. I'm amazed I made the playoffs I hardly put any effort into the team at all. What are you, you complained for years that we put fantasy hockey on ice literally and figuratively. Then you go and get blown out by Laimbeer the last week and find yourself out of the playoffs. I believe you were in the playoffs until the final day. Better luck next time. It's a good thing you are Methuselah and will live forever because it may be a long time before we do hockey again. You may need to rally people to get interest in doing another late. My team was bad as it was. Unfortunately for me , this week I lost the two guys who were playing the best for me. I was having fun with the leak the last two weeks because I liked watching the close race. It got my competitive juices flowing. I even started hoping that somehow I would get lucky and take the bronze medal. No way that happens now. I put the three goalie games minimum rule in the league. I'm not sure but I think it was the default in Yahoo. I also think we've used it and pretty much every league I've ever been. It burned me twice. I also benefited from it twice this year. I think that was unusual because I don't believe it ever affected any of my weeks been once in previous seasons. How did it work out for everyone else? Detteam the rookie got a bye. Mikhail grabbed the other one. Junior, myself, Jammer, and Laimbeer got the remaining playoff spots. Rax (a rookie ?) and Woody missed the playoffs. But just barely. My predictions (these things are always way off) for fun are as follows: Qualifying round: Mediocre Jammer over crappy Darth Lousy Senior over slumping Junior ***** Semifinals: Mikhail over jammer Detteam over Laimbeer Mikhail over Jammer *** Finals: Mikhail over Detteam. **** So the only upset I'm picking is Laimbeer over junior and jammer over me both in the qualifying. However I could see Jammer upsetting to Mikhail in the semis. And I could see Detteam upsetting Mikhail in the final if they are both there. Of course crazy things happen and who knows what role luck will play in these games. Besides we are also close anyhow it's a crapshoot. I don't expect Laimbeer and I to get a medal of any sort but the other four teams I think all have a shot. To these predictions Laimbeer and I will get the gold and silver. As I said, even though these last couple weeks were fine, I will be really glad when this is over. Good luck to everyone. We will need it.
Darth (4) surprisingly knocks off Jammer (5) 9-5 I predicted wrongly. Bill (6) upsets Junior (3) 9-6. I correctly predicted that one. Both winners advance to the medal round. Will wonders never cease? Darth (4) vs. Mikhail (1) Mikhail will kill me. He's red hot. Bill (6) vs. Detteam (2) I think this will be really close. I can easilysee an upset but I will go with Detteam in a close one. That would leave the best two teams to battle for gold. And leave the bronze for Bill and I to fight over. I did not expect to make the playoffs let alone win one round.
Detteam clobbers Laimbeer and plays Mikhail ( who barely squeaked by me) for gold. Will Detteam finally shed his bridesmaids gown? I play Laimbeer for an easy bronze. This will be fun. Woody, starting a league is as simple as pushing one button so don't use the excuse that you can't do it. You don't even need to choose special settings. All you need to do is advertise and get six people. Nobody will remain to complain about settings since YOU are commissioner. If you DONT ask for advice and it's offered follow one rule of thumb previous commissioners have learned. THAT is to tell them to kiss your ARSE!!
Nice attitude, Darth!! I've appreciated your kind leadership and hands-off style all season.
Laimbeer why won't you respond to my private messages? I responded to your from Sunday which said "Dear Drath, I know you kicked my butt all season with the exception of the time you were short one goalie game, so I am begging you to give me a break. Could you sit a couple of your players and act like it was an oversight? You don't need a bronze after kicking everyone's butt in football and winning the gold. Please. Please. Drath, let's just keep this between us, ok? I promise to call you Darth instead of Drath from now on." Just in case you really did not get a response I will put it here so you cannot miss it." Dearest Bill, my good old friend. It is embarrassing the way you are groveling right now. I'm not sure how your team got in the playoffs but I need to be honest with you. Your team sucks. There is no hope for you. You may as well give up for you embarrass yourself further. PS if I could sit my guys I would. But the lineup is locked. I just want to make myself clear. Your team sucks!!! My team is better. Stop your whining. Your friend always, Drath"
I got six or seven private messages from you but they all contain pictures of you wearing women's underwear. Please refrain.
Sheesh. Don't be ungrateful. I know you asked for pictures of me with no underwear and only in my birthday suit but modesty prevailed. So I did the best I could. I suppose you'll want your outfit back. I'm sorry it took so long for me to get it back but you'll be happy to know it was a hit at the Halloween party a few months ago. I will return it immediately. It looks much better on you anyhow.
Thanks Woody. I appreciated your support throughout the season. I'm sorry you came in LAST place.
Very classy.
Of, yeah Baby. I'm bending you to my will already Laimbumb!! LMAO. Are you sorry you even got in the ring with old Drathie yet??? Cry uncle. I dare you. I won't let up. Crack that whip!! ... Yep. I lead with an insurmountable 5-4 and its already .wednesday. Insurmountable. Game set match for Drath. Only 5 more days and that bronze is as good as decorating my shelf. Woohoo.
Drath, how many times now have you gone to check your roster after I have sent you a fake message telling you that one of your key players is injured?
What the??? You dirty low down scum sucking barnacle ( is that even possible?) !!!! That was my... Oh never mind. Nobody would believe me anyhow. After I lost my previous match intentionally just so I could rip your heart out when you lost the bronze to me. and THIS is the thanks I get? YOU will pay dearly. In Hockey blood! My secret weapon the Hansen Brothers come off my bench TONIGHT. I've already paid to have my name engraved on that trophy. Glory is MINE MINE MINE. Just for that I am going to increase my lead from 5-4 to 6-4 tonight. Muhaahaa!! (I can play dirty when I have to and you've poked a little twig at a sleeping grizzly bear).
You better hope your NY Rangers goalie plays all 3 games this week because the Anaheim coach said he is going to continue to sit Hiller and ride the hot Frederick Anderson since they are battling for home ice. If that happens, you will forfeit all of the goalie stats and the bronze medal will be mine. It's a sad way to lose, but you've found more creative ways to lose to me in the playoffs before.
Red hot?? Watchoo talkin bout' Willis? Red hot?? He gave up four (4) goals last game. Oh wait... Looking at your goalie numbers One can see WHY you consider him red hot!!! The coach said no such thing. No I didn't look. I just KNOW He didn't. . ( ok maybe I peeked). Doesn't matter. Your dirty tricks won't help you against my boys. Anyhow, did you just all but admit publicly that your bronze medal hopes rest on my getting shorted on the goalie minimum. Oh how low we've sunk. This is getting embarrassing now.
I made you look at another phony claim.

Ok now before everyone barks at me about using the search tool, I have been for over a week since I came back. But I'm just not able to spend enough time looking. So I need your help. If everyone can just send me a quick PM answer on where I can go these days for each item, I would appreciate that. I have been registered here since March 2002, I got out of props and stopped posting on the RPF as well due to a potential divorce. So now a few years later I have returned, unfortunately with every long sold(Jango, Boba, Movie Trooper).
Below is a list of items I had before. I know a lot has changed in two years with new discoveries, so I am looking for the most accurate updates.
1. MC Boots
2. RA Jumpuit
3. RA spats
4. RA pouches
5. Slave 1 gloves
6. RA Ammo Belt
7. Dean O knee spikes
8. Dean O beacon
9. Dean O keyboard squares
10. Unidentified vest
11. Unidentified ammo belt
12. Unidentified braids
13. Unidentified rope belt
I'm not trying to be lazy, but It's a lot to review.
Thanks guys!!

Super combinator
From HaskellWiki
A super combinator is either a constant, or a Combinator which contains only super combinators as subexpressions.
To get a fuller idea of what a supercombinator is, it may help to use the following equivalent definition:
Any lambda expression is of the form
\x1 x2 .. xn -> E, where E is not a lambda abstraction and n≥0. (Note that if the expression is not a lambda abstraction, n=0.) This is a supercombinator if and only if:
- the only free variables in E are x1..xn, and
- every lambda abstraction in E is a supercombinator.
So these are supercombinators:
\x y -> x + y
\f -> f (\x -> x + x)
These are not combinators, let alone supercombinators, because in each case, the variable y occurs free:
\x -> y
\x -> y + x
This is a combinator, but not a supercombinator, because the inner lambda abstraction is not a combinator:
\f g -> f (\x -> g x 2)
Any lambda calculus expression (or, indeed, Haskell program) with no free variables can be converted into supercombinators using Lambda lifting. For example, the last example can be expressed as:
\f g -> f ((\h x -> h x 2) g)
A supercombinator which is not a lambda abstraction (i.e. for which n=0) is called a Constant applicative form.

I don't think I acknowledged that it broke the rules. The point I'm trying to make is that if it doesn't get rejected then woot feels it's fine and doesn't break any of their rules. They (woot) make and enforce the rules... you just don't fully understand them. Of course if this does eventually get rejected... then it broke the rules.

i like the linework and simplicity of it.
chientsai wrote:New here. I want to vote for this one, but don't know how.

You have to make a purchase from Woot before you can vote. Then you will see a little button above the submission that says "I'd Want One", hit that and you've voted.
Re: She Sells Sea Shells
love your use of colors
Re: Shirts (redux)
"Rejected because: Still off topic"
Really Woot? That's the reason you're giving? "Shirt" clearly starts with the letter 's' when in English.
I could understand "No original artwork" or "copywrited image" or something, but "off topic" is simply untrue.
Not arguing the rejection, just the reason given.
Re: Strongman

Re: Spastic Squirrel
I seriously can't tell any major differences between this and the rejected one.
That is just too funny. Love it.

Thanks very much! As I was doing this, I was running through past entries, which had either surfboards or seals in them, and thinking to myself "Self, this is going to absolutely die. You've submitted with both elements before and gotten no votes. Together, you're going to wind up with negative votes."
This is one of my favorites that you've done. Seriously great. The layout, the colors, the dynamic pose. Really solid. I know I've said this before, but I would love to see your process on these pieces... the layering is really great.
I will second some of the comments... I love sepia tones. Really tough to do. But I think this is pretty successful.
The only thing is the feet look a little muddled. Not enough to really bother me, but the back leg seems a bit off.
That being said, as usual the two of you rock.

I guess we were both thinking sharks! I love your summery and surfy shirt!!

Makes me actually want to do something active, be a kid again!
Great fun mood in both your shark and sloth shirts!
Re: Sunsplash
The more I look at this design, the more I need to wear it. The spate of rainy days in my area might be helping. It's become my favorite in the derby, and would be an instant-purchase for me.

I know how you feel, as I was working on and even planning to do my mermaid shirt I knew nobody was going to want it but we are REBELS! We design what is in our hearts! Seals in yours! Mermaids in mine! That inner warning bell is always right , but I think it's just as important to let whats in your heart, your art, out!
I love your cutie seals!!! I for one want more of your animals, cute
often takes the cake around here so bring it on flamestamp! Bring on the cute!

Truffle, are you able to work on it Thursday night? You'd probably be able to get some great suggestions in the derby thread.
keelhaulkate wrote:love your use of colors
Thankyou Keelhaulkate, I love these colors too.(In my house I have many pink, purple and light blue rooms so I guess those colors are important to me!)
I think this is my favorite derby entry ever!

You don't know woot to well do you? They selectively enforce their own rules.
I love it! If this prints, it will be the first time I purchase a shirt for MYSELF and not my husband like I usually do! The ones I vote for RARELY print though - so I hope I didn't jinx it!
Re: Struggling Songbird
Re: sssippy...
I love it! I voted!! Was your other one rejected that this was a resub?
Re: Single Stormcloud Soaking Someone when Suddenly...
I actually voted for this when it was first submitted but just now got around to looking at it. I do this because I know the execution is always fantastic and the concept is always amazing. This shirt, no exception!
I too am interested in a portfolio to wander through and see all the different evolutions of the monsters. Maybe even a section where wallpaper-size illustrations are available? ;)
I wish the Wooters would wise up to the idea of these fantastic critters. They like cute! I would like to thank you for not dressing them up like Star Wars characters or as a video game reference just to earn votes. I admire and appreciate it.
Maybe one day you can have your own little shop section of a website with shirts and prints available! That'd be neat.
Best of luck and I look forward to every derby you enter!
Re: Sakura-oni Springtime
I love that this shirt has a funny story to go along with lovable artwork. <3 cheers GMV
While I think the face is adorable - I think many LOTR fans are guys, and won't wear it. My husband among them.

Again... what you call selective is actaually your incomplete understanding of the subtle nuances of the rules.

"It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
Here's a great E-mail I got today but it sums up our situation now with the O-BOMB -THIS IS SO INCREDIBLY WELL PUT AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S BY A YOUNG
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists,
Marxists and Obama supporters, et al... We have stuck together since the
late 1950s, but the whole of this latest election process has made me
realize that I want a divorce.
I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future
generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two
ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is
right so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it
up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is a model
separation agreement:
Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass, each
taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our
two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be
relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide
other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA
and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell
(You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big
enough to move all three of them).
We'll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical
companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys, hippies and illegal
aliens. We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and
rednecks. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right
to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our
way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.. You are welcome to Islamic
Terrorists, Scientology, Humanism and Shirley McClain.
You can also have the U.N.. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks and over sized luxury cars. You can
take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing
doctors. We'll continue to believe health care is a luxury and not
a right.
We'll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and the National Anthem.
I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute Imagine, I'd Like to Teach the
World to Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.
We'll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up
poverty your best shot.
Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like
minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just
delete it.
In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you ANWAR which one of us
will need whose help in 15 years.
John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P.S. Also, please take Barbara Streisand & Jane Fonda with you.
Well said! Im going to pass that to everyone I know.

|I want to clear something up about WebSphere CloudBurst that can sometimes cause a bit of confusion. In nearly all of our content about the appliance, we talk about it in the context of building private clouds consisting of WebSphere application environments. Typically people think of private clouds as something only those within their organization can access and utilize. However, with WebSphere CloudBurst you are not limited to creating that kind of a private cloud.
|Perhaps it is more fitting that we talk about WebSphere CloudBurst as a means to create on-premise clouds. After all, that's really what we mean. You create a shared pool of hardware and network resources owned by your organization, and then you define this cloud of resources to WebSphere CloudBurst. Once that cloud is defined, you can leverage WebSphere CloudBurst to dispense your WebSphere application environments into that cloud. The accessibility of your application environments running in that cloud is entirely up to you.
|You may decide that the cloud is indeed private and that only those in your organization or a smaller subset of users can access the environments. On the other hand, you may decide that you want to allow consumers in the public domain to request WebSphere application environments and then have WebSphere CloudBurst provision those environments into a public cloud. I say public here because while the cloud's resources are on your premise, access to that cloud is not restricted to within the organizational firewall. Ultimately, the determining factor for whether or not your WebSphere CloudBurst cloud is public or private is the network configuration you provide. If the virtual machines are associated with network resources that are publicly accessible, then I would say you have a public cloud.
|I hope this entry didn't serve to only add to the confusion. The bottom line is this: WebSphere CloudBurst allows you to create, deploy, and maintain virtualized WebSphere environments in an on-premise cloud. Whether that cloud is public or private is entirely up to the network configuration that you setup.

John Harrigan: What new landowners need to know about open land
JOHN HARRIGAN | November 30. 2013 8:25PM
In this scenario, I envision Bud and Bertha, retirees, perhaps baby boomers who've invested their lifelong earnings in a chunk of land in a place where hunting is still very much a part of tradition. They have utterly no background or understanding concerning hunting. After an encounter or two with hunters and perhaps hikers or horse riders or bird watchers or berry pickers or wanderers in general, up go the "No Everything" signs.
One train of thought is, how about the real estate agent?
In the next couple of weeks or so, I'll relate some of the worst examples I've seen, during 45 years of newspapering and 39 years of writing this column, of people abusing the privilege of open land and exhibiting total disrespect for the landowners - the small percentage of bad apples in any pursuit.

Posted by Richard Fichera on October 23, 2011
I just spent several days at Dell World, and came away with the impression of a company that is really trying to change its image. Old Dell was boxes, discounts and low cost supply chain. New Dell is applications, solution, cloud (now there's a surprise!) and investments in software and integration. OK, good image, but what's the reality? All in all, I think they are telling the truth about their intentions, and their investments continue to be aligned with these intentions.
As I wrote about a year ago, Dell seems to be intent on climbing up the enterprise food chain. It's investment in several major acquisitions, including Perot Systems for services and a string of advanced storage, network and virtual infrastructure solution providers has kept the momentum going, and the products have been following to market. At the same time I see solid signs of continued investment in underlying hardware, and their status as he #1 x86 server vendor in N. America and #2 World-Wide remains an indication of their ongoing success in their traditional niches. While Dell is not a household name in vertical solutions, they have competent offerings in health care, education and trading, and several of the initiatives I mentioned last year are definitely further along and more mature, including continued refinement of their VIS offerings and deep integration of their much-improved DRAC systems management software into mainstream management consoles from VMware and Microsoft.

Between Moore's law and the notion of "Internet time," we're constantly being bombarded with more and more information--most of it in the form of disorganized data. Turning this information into useful knowledge is getting harder and harder to do, and it takes time that we just don't have. The current economic situation hasn't helped either. With money spread thin, who hasn't had to take on new tasks and learn new things? And slashed training budgets mean there's little to rely on for learning except books- but learning a complex new programming language like Java from a book is no simple task. Maybe your boss is giving you two weeks to come up to speed for a project, or maybe you're ready to take that next step up in your current job, or be a more viable candidate for a new job. Whatever the reason, the onus is on you to learn. All these factors make it more important than ever to have a way to learn--fast.And that's what Head First Java does -- by exploiting the way your brain works, it compresses the time it takes to really learn. Why? Because its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it enables and encourages you to think like a Java programmer. Mastering object oriented programming requires a certain way of thinking, not just a certain way of writing code.The latest research in cognitive science, neurobiology, and educational psychology shows that learning at the deeper levels takes a lot more than text on a page. Actively combining words and pictures not only helps in understanding the subject, but in remembering it. According to some studies, an engaging, entertaining, image-rich, conversational approach actually teaches the subject better. Head First Java puts these theories into practice with a vengeance. Chock full of mind stretching exercises, memorable analogies, and stories, humor and attitude that aren't just pasted-on distractions but that are used to drive home key points and make ideas come alive, the Head First approach is as effective as it is unique.It takes a pretty unique person to have developed such an innovative way to Learn Java. Kathy Sierra has been interested in learning theory since her days as a game designer. More recently, she's been a master trainer for Sun Microsystems, teaching Sun's own instructors how to teach the latest Java technologies. She has been actively using the concepts in Head First Java to teach hundreds of trainers, developers and even non programmers. She is the founder of one of the largest Java community websites in the world, javaranch.com, and she is a member of the development team for the Sun Certified programmer exam. Bert Bates is also a long-time Java developer and trainer with extensive experience in learning theory. His background features a long stint in artificial intelligence with clients like the Weather Channel, A&E Network, Rockwell and Timken.Is Head First Java right for you? That depends. Head First Java assumes you're a programmer or at least have experience with scripting languages. It assumes that you're smart, that you're creative and open to new ideas, and that you know you're just not the type of person who wants to learn the traditional way. Take a look at the sample pages, explore the background on brain-based learning, examine the table of contents, and see for yourself how Head First Java takes learning to a whole new level. See why Tim O'Reilly says, "This is the first really new approach to computer books that I've seen in many years. I think it's going to revolutionize how programming and other complex topics are taught."Table of Content:1) Dive In (a quick dip into Java)2) Welcome to Objectville (intro to OO)3) Know your Variables (understanding Java types: primitives, object references, pass-by-value)4) How objects behave (instance variables and methods)5) Extra-strength methods (writing more complex code)6) Using the Java Library (solving problems with the API)7) Better Living in Objectville (inheritance, OO design, abstract classes)8) Serious Polymorphism (interfaces, more OO design, polymorphism)9) Life and Death of an object (constructors and memory management / garbage collection)10) Do the Math (static methods and variables, Math methods, Wrappers, and number formatting)11) Risky Behavior (handling exceptions)12) A very graphic story (GUI intro, inner classes, event handling)13) Work on your swing (more GUI, layout managers and Swing components)14) Saving objects (object serialization and file I/O)15) Make a connection (networking: sockets and server sockets)16) Release your Code (deployment: code organization, packages, executable JARs, and Java Web Start)17) Distributed Code (deployment via RMI and Servlets)

Buy this book first!
By Fred Flinstone
from Bedrock
About Me Developer
As a beginner I have a medium sized library of Java books, most of which are of no use to me at this stage as they go into too much detail without explaining what something actually IS or DOES. Head first into Java is a very good as it illustrates concepts with easy to read diagrams which would otherwise boggle the mind with pages and pages of waffle. The best example of this would be the whole JVM / Bytecode situation, of which there are thousands of internet articles which go into great detail without explaining what it actually is. However it was made much clearer by this book with a simple diagram which takes up about a third of a page and tells you all you need to know at a beginner's level, onto which you can develop your knowledge. So my advice would be to buy this book FIRST as it really helps beginners to understand fundamental concepts which can be revisited at a later stage should you wish to.

Head First Java
By Anonymous
Definitely the best technical book I've ever read. This would have to be the first one where you don't feel like you deserve a medal for making it to the end! Great explanations, real world examples, and just all around fun. Now if you just had a C++ version...
Head First To this Book!
By Khurram
Most definitely the best Java book that i've read. It has made my life a little simpler. Reading a 100 pages felt like 5 minutes. The book is fun to read and it keeps you interested.
Generation Xbox love this book!
I teach computer science at the High school, Undergrad and graduate level and at every turn, I have added Head First Java to the list of recommended readings.It has been a Fun, interesting way to get the very visual learner "generation Xbox" to understand OOP and Java in particular.I wish is was a full fledged academic text book!
If you've been in the shallow end for awhile - Time to Dive In
By Hal Rosser
I've been playing in 'the shallow end' of the Java language for awhile, and skipped over some things like javadoc and jar files. Most documentation on these subjects are laborious to wade through and make sense of. One thing I do to evaluate a book - is look up a specific subject I've had trouble with or had skipped in the past to see how they present the subject. Its amazing - its clear now. You have to have this book nearby - just to clear up those ffuzzy parts.

Head First Java Review
By MD Caruso
Topics such as multithreading, streams, and networking seemed to be just a bunch of nonsense to me until I picked up this book. I would say that the Head First series is probably one of the best things that happened in the history of computer literature publishing. What I admire about the series most is the unprecedented clarity. The humor was alright. The graphics didn't only look great and funny but they CERTAINLY were VERY EFFECTIVE as far as getting the point across to my brain dead smack clear.As far as content and formatting is concerned, I really appreciated the handwritten annotations alongside the written codes. I would say that I have NEVER seen this EXTREMELY VALUABLE method in any other computer book. I also like the use of ample white space - another feature that most books neglect. From an educational standpoint, I see that the crossword puzzles, quizzes, and small assignments are dead smack relevant to the material presented. Despite Academia's opinion that this series may be unprofessional or even absurd, I would surely use this book as the text since I see its unparalleled effectiveness in teaching concepts that are not the easiest to grasp.Now, on the downsides. I was hoping that the Head First Java book explained the INFAMOUS GridBagLayout and its SINISTER partner GridBagConstraints. I imagine that the Head First explanation of this extremely complex and confusing layout manager would just do the trick of DEMYSTIFYING this SICKLY AGONIZING part of the Java AWT/Swing. Perhaps there should be a second "Head First Java II" book that would include such topic, along with the difficult JTree and JTable, and other topics not covered in the first Head First Java book.All in all, the Head First series is WAY easier than the Idiot's or Dummy versions (at least for Java). It surely slaughters Deitel & Deitel's Java books more intended for high school or college text. It even trumps the allegedly easiest Visual ("Read Less, Learn More.") series in EASE, CLARITY, PRACTICALITY, DETAIL, and IN-DEPTHNESS.I would REALLY like to see the following topics CLARIFIED in future Head First publications:1. JavaScript/CSS/DHTML2. JSP/Tomcat3. PHP/MySQL/Apache4. C++5. Data Structures and Algorithms (Lists, Trees, Sorting, etc.)6. Assembly Language (Various processors)7. XML8. ASP/IIs9. Game Programming10. Web Design/Usability11. TCP/IP and Network Administration...Every single computer-related topic DESERVES to have a Head First publication for it! To whoever is responsible for the publication of the Head First series, THANK YOU SO MUCH! You've done a WONDERFUL job!

The last week has been a rather hectic one for the people of India as its parliament has argued over and finally passed a controversial bill on nuclear energy. During the fractious conflict a new figure has emerged on the political scene, Mayawati, leader of the Dalit community and chief minister of the populous northern Uttar Pradesh state. She has become a symbol of empowerment for the oppressed Dalit group which long has been mistreated and treated like in demeaning ways. As an Indian official in Uttar Pradesh noted: "She may not have achieved much for Dalits on the ground in her past two terms as chief minister, but when she is in power, district officials, police, everyone treats Dalits with more respect." She rose from the slums, battled discrimination due to being a woman and a
Dalit, gained an education, became a lawyer, and then assumed leadership of the Bahujan Samaj Party(BSP).
Many political analysts believe she has the capability of one day becoming a prime minister of India. Such a victory would be analogous to that of Barack Obama becoming president of the United States of America. One problem is the source of her now considerable wealth, she claims it comes from gifts of those who admire her work, but there is always the possibility in India the money comes from sources of corruption.

Hello Professors Racaniello and Despommier,
In TWIP #33, Dr Despommier said that certain parasites do not need receptors to enter cells, while Dr Racaniello then said that all viruses require a receptor for entry. I might be wrong but don't certain paramyxoviruses like Respiratory Syncytial Viruses enter the host cell by mere membrane fusion? I hope I'm not missing the point here, but i remember being taught in my undergraduate course that there are a certain class of viruses that don't need a receptor at all.

I first read of the Red Queen's Hypothesis in Parasite Rex by Carl Zimmer, which list Dr. Despommier in the acknowledgements. Recently there was an story in The Wall Street Journal: "Why Sex? To Keep Parasites at Bay, of Course" by Matt Ridley. I believe it would be very helpful to hear your thoughts on the Red Queen's Hypothesis.
Thanks, we appreciate all of your great podcasts.

Vincent & Dickson,
I listened with great interest this afternoon to the TWIP story on malaria vaccine (via Science360 - I am not an academic, but a true science junkie). My keen interest is due to the fact that I lived in Nigeria for some time and suffered from P. falciparum infection seven times before I was finally able to build enough immunity to not suffer mightily. No cerebral, thank goodness! But it left me with a passion for watching developments in the study of the parasite and the science of malaria control.
In listening to the part on the TWIP podcast about the locus of injection site being critical to efficacy for this possible vaccine candidate, a thought occurred to me: Since mosquitos are so adept at finding blood vessels from which to suck their bloodmeal, why not create a genetically modified mosquito that would produce the candidate vaccine protein in its saliva, so that when it inserts its proboscis into the blood capillary, the host gets a tiny injection of the protein at the same time. While I do expect that not a single mosquito bite would produce immunity, of course, the many thousands that one receives over time, might do the job, and would maintain it over time, as "booster shots" would be received daily. Since this vaccine seems to be efficacious against all the strains it has been tried against, it would suggest that the parasite's docking protein is highly conserved in evolution, making the evolution of resistance much less likely.
If the same genetic sequence were also used to invoke immunity to Plasmodium by the mosquito itself, it would give the mosquitos an evolutionary advantage in the environment, in that there is also a cost to the mosquito as well in carrying the parasite. This would ensure that the genetic modification would become dominant in the mosquito population over time. It would also provide a double-pronged attack on the parasite - both at the mosquito and human blood stages of the parasite's life cycle would be suppressed.
While I recognize that there are surely some formidable barriers in the way of creating such a system and deploying it in the field, my thought is that it might have enough promise to be worth looking into.
Warmest regards from (so far) malaria-free Cartago, Costa Rica,

Listening to you in Podcast #6 on tapeworms. You are making me laugh. I live in Florida. Not everyone is retired in Florida. Not even people who live in South Florida are all retired.
FYI Whole Foods does list the country of origin of the animal proteins sold in their stores.
With my background in Public Health epidemiology and communicable disease clinic (STD clinician...TB outreach), I have never seen a tapeworm in a specimen since moving to Florida. I had seen on in the teaching hospital I worked at in Grand Rapids, Michigan in a specimen from an immigrant. Now I said not everyone in Florida is retired and they are not...but I am retired (early).
Cattle ranches are not just in the panhandle either...many of these ranches are all over the state. Florida is a big state, we have a lot of open land used for all types of agricultural purposes. While there are beef cattle grown in Florida, many more farms/ranches are devoted to dairy production.
I am a nurse, an artist and a Florida Master Naturalist....science, microbiology and infectious diseases continue to be of tremendous interest to me.

In TWIP 33 you asked which protozoa should be discusesed in future episodes. If you discuss Acanthamoeba as a "Trojan Horse" you can correct errors made on two episodes of TWIM regarding Legionella as endosymbionts of Acanthamoeba.
I think listeners would find comparisons of Acanthamoeba, Neglaria and Hartmonella (in terms of pathogenesis and as bacterial reservoirs) interesting.
Thank you for the podcasts, without which I would never sleep.
P.S. The "Trojan Horse" term was coined by Barker & Brown, but everybody uses it now.

I haven't busted out my Boba Fett reference CD in a few years, and just recently have been studying things in there again, and that ROTJ jumpsuit on the mannequin at Magic of Myth is definately a light blue, the exact same shade as the reference pics of the ESB jumpsuit. It looks like they just weathered it heavily to give it that "gray with a hint of tan" look. I know Braks Buddy was using a very high quality camera and took those pics in high res, so the colors aren't off. It's a light blue jumpsuit. Just look at many of the photos in different areas of the suit and in so many of those shots, the spots they didn't heavily weather show clean light blue fabric. Especially spots they didn't think they had to weather, like upwards shots under the shoulder bells and inside the thigh pouch, where the corner is opened up a little and you can see the clean inside fabric underneath. Light blue all the way. Also right at the bottom of the legs, they weathered the lower legs heavily, but because they had to put the metal mannequin attachments up the calves, the spats don't cover the bottom like they normally would, and again it looks cleaner than the heavily weathered calves, and you can see that hint of blue at the bottom of the legs there, too.
Now I have an ESB bluish jumpsuit that I weathered down that I've worn with my ROTJ costume for years and I can see I'm not off with the M.O.M. suit, in fact it might be more accurate than the majority of ROTJ costumers that base their suits off the M.O.M. suit and buy gray jumpsuits.

OKC - Annual Traditional Only Shoot over $2000 in prizes
Oklahoma City Gun Club is hosting a traditional only shoot May 15th and 16th. We have over $2000 in prizes including a Black Widow bow and a Samick bow! Bows will be given away by a drawing from scorecards. This shoot has "traditionally" resulted in over 400 rounds shot. For an idea of how Awesome the people who shoot this are - one of our club volunteers talked me into shooting a round with his custom built recurve and then lent it to me for two weeks to use in the traditional shoot!!! I haven't had that " it is something new, great and exciting" to be in the woods feeling since my first bow hunt. Please remember Trosper is having a benefit shoot and quail Ridge in Tecumseh is hosting an ASA qualifier Saturday. Look forward to meeting some new friends and shooting without training wheels. More details are available at www.okcgunclub.org/archery

Learning through research is active, as opposed to gaining knowledge by traditional teaching. Dr. William Harris, associate professor of environmental science and studies, said the team selected this year's theme, "Apprentices to Knowledge," for the 2013 Research Symposium to reflect on students' active participation in the learning process.
"When students are involved in research activities, either alone or with a faculty mentor, they are working to create the knowledge that they will possess," Harris said. "This gives the students more ownership of that knowledge. One of the unique things that we can offer here at UST is an increased participation of students in research projects in upper-division courses, as well as through funded research projects, internships, service-learning experiences and thesis work."
The Symposium will run from April 11-13. The poster reception will be 4-6 p.m. on Thursday in Crooker Center, and will transfer to Jerabeck Center on Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday at 8 a.m. to noon. Poster judging is 5:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday. The oral presentations are 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday in Crooker Center. The Honors Colloquium is at 4 p.m. on Friday in Scanlan Room, Jerabeck Center.
Dr. Dominic Aquila, vice president for academic affairs said the Research Symposium theme describes a way of learning that has a long tradition in Catholic education and thrives at St. Thomas.
"Apprentices have a unique and close relationship to their teachers, teachers who model a whole way of life surrounding the pursuit of knowledge and the constant joy of new discoveries," Aquila said. "We are all 'apprentices to knowledge' insofar as we acknowledge that learning is a lifelong project. The University of St. Thomas Research Symposium is an annual reminder of the joy of such an apprenticeship."
Harris said, with UST's small class size and low faculty-to-student ratio, the University can provide these experiences to a large percentage of our student population.
University President Dr. Robert Ivany said every year, undergraduate students present educational, interesting and even inspiring topics at the Research Symposium.
"Their accomplishments reflect the inspirational guidance of their faculty advisors who devote a great amount of time and energy to their students research and presentation," Ivany said. "The annual Research Symposium is a glimpse of the excellence of a St. Thomas education."
It is an opportunity for students to "strut their stuff" in front of faculty, staff, students and the general public, Harris said. Symposium chair, Harris said presentations will help students develop communication skills and confidence within their field, and the broader public will see what the University has to offer.
"Research experience can also show a potential employer or graduate school that the student is capable of functioning at a higher development level within their field than someone without such experiences," Harris said. "This should make our students more attractive for employment or selection for graduate admissions to the schools of their choice."
Attendees will include alumni, advisory committee members, judges for the poster session and community members of Galveston-Houston. The University community is encouraged to attend these presentations and support their colleagues and fellow students in the presentation of their research projects.
For more information, contact Harris at 713-525-3805 or email@example.com. The event is sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Committee.
