Thread: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
Honestly this thing is more about tearing down a guy that was built up (something we love to do as a society) than anything else. Its not like he ran a foundation to help a person who never existed. He did not father a child out of wedlock, did not lie under oath, did not get caught doing drugs, paying hookers or hanging out with gangbangers. At worst he told a lie that spun out of control and did an extremely poor job of managing the fallout.
I think its sad that in a society with so many inequities, so many issue and problems to solve that this is what so many people are worried about. Outside of this incident which to this point I see no illegality to, this kid seems like a decent and kind person. If we are going to condemn every person who has ever told a lie and had it spin out of control, well there will be very few of us who are not condemned. Myself included. The key is to learn and to move forward and not repeat the mistake. I tend to think Teo will do this based on his character prior to this story.
I know I will get flack for saying this but someone please explain to me how Teo lying about a girlfriend is more of a story than an established defensive player of the year (Suggs) allegedly smacking his significant other around? I am not saying Suggs did that...just saying it was alleged and speculated about just as MUCH of this is speculation and allegation at this point. That story got just a minuscule percentage of the attention this has gotten. That says something to me about our priorities. I love Suggs the player, I would not advocate the Ravens drop him. I would advocate if true he gets the counseling he needs. Why should Teo be any different. Even if he knowingly lied about this stuff in an effort to save himself embarrassment at worst the kid needs some counseling on how better to handle these types of situations. I find it sad that so many find so much glee in tearing down a kid who seems to be trying to do his best to be a decent person but made a huge and embarrassing mistake.A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football,

Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
The previous PFT story seemed more opinion than anything...
But here's a fact: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ied-of-cancer/
Maybe he was just trying to keep up the story because he was still processing the hoax and all, but this is a record of him, two days after the hoax was fessed up to him, saying his girlfriend died of cancer..

Delaware's QB, Tim Donnelly, was on The Junkies this morning. He knew Te'o in High School.
He is saying that Te'o had a "girlfriend" all through high school that nobody ever saw and who Te'o claimed lived in another state.

I think it's generational...
It's about "likes" and "posts"...
What looks good online.
Gen Y would rather be online than doing actual Real live stuff... Even when they are there, they are not there.
Texting a girlfriend is easier than doing stuff with her.
And Suggs - say what you will...
Married her a week later. About 2 or 3 weeks ago - smh

Yeah, I am starting to see the gay angle now too. Later in the show, The Junkies had a reporter from CBS Sports on, talking about the Polynesian culture. It's still VERY taboo to be gay and the family is basically shut out of the community once its discovered a relative is gay.
Who knows if that's the real motivation but its going to be one hell of a story for quite sometime.
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
Polynesian culture? How about *football* culture?!
I 100% guarantee you there are people reading these words right now thinking "I've seen that guy play. He's a beast! He can't be gay! Gay men are [generalization]!"
Anyway. I hope he's ok. I don't think there's anything truly sinister going on here. I doubt anybody set out to hurt anybody else, and I think what Robert Irvine did was worse because he was motivated by greed.
I could be completely wrong but I think Te'o is responsible for this hoax and it was a response to some kind of social pressure. I am going to guess what happens next is he won't discuss it any more, and it will quiet down, and some team will draft him because he haz skillz.
It should have been blown up by the sports media early on, but investigative journalism is basically dead, so that wasn't going to happen. God bless the reporters out there actually digging for stories, but there are not enough of them to do the digging. You make a *lot* more money being Skip Bayless, who is perfectly happy to be paid to be controversial and wrong. It's less work and more money for the network and for the talking head. Win/win, unless you count what happened to Te'o, and then realize maybe we (and he, in a way) are the losers.
Ah well. It's a rising tide, and complaining won't make it go down.Festivus

Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
In a nation thats 3-4% gay you have to assume that theres at least a few out of 2000 NFL players that is gay, even if its below average that still translate to a few just by odds. If it comes down to that, I really wish for his own sake hed just learn to be himself. Sad, but wouldnt be the first person to lie to cover up a gay lifestyle.-JAB

I remember thinking the fake girlfriend might be a beard as I was reading the story. Between Mormon family, Catholic school, football culture, and Polynesian values, he has a massive MASSIVE amount of cultural baggage coercing him to conform.
Heck, I wonder if the alleged "Hoaxster" who was always meeting Teo in places the fake girlfriend was supposed to is or was Teo's actual significant other. It sorta makes sense. Have your secret boyfriend make a twitter account of a female, now you two can flirt and tweet and chat all you want and no one blinks.
I doubt the truth will ever come out, but if it turns out he's really simply the victim OR this was a desperate attempt to stay in the closet out of shame, I would be fine with the Ravens selecting him.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: Manti Te'o hoax (wth?!?)
I'll say this, if he comes out and says he's gay (and actually is) this whole thing goes away.We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

PHILADELPHIA -- Aramark Holdings Co. showed a 4% increase in net income in the first quarter of 2014, its first reporting period since returning to the public market.
For the three months ended Dec. 27, Aramark net income rose to $44.9 million, or 21¢ a share, from $43.2 million, or 20¢ a share, in the year-earlier period.
Aramark's revenue climbed 6% to $3.8 billion from $3.5 billion a year ago. The 2014 first quarter benefited in part from a favorable comparison after 2013 first-quarter sales fell 2% as a result of Hurricane Sandy and the NHL lockout last year.
Aramark's foodservice sales in North America in the 2014 first quarter were $2.6 billion, up 7% year over year. The company said growth was particularly solid in the education, sports, leisure and corrections sectors. International foodservice sales also rose 7%, to $775.6 million, led by double-digit growth in emerging markets and expansion in Europe.
"We continue to win new business and achieve high client retention rates, which drove broad-based topline growth across our segments and geographies," commented Eric J. Foss, Aramark president and chief executive. "At the same time, our productivity programs and repeatable business model are driving margins and profit improvements."
Aramark completed its initial public offering and listing on the New York Stock Exchange in December, marking the third time it's gone public. | SEE STORY
On Feb. 4, Aramark's board of directors declared a 7.5¢ dividend per share of common stock, payable on March 11 to shareholders of record at the close of business Feb. 18.

New Latino International Movie Poster For 'Iron Man 3'
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.03.03
Cine1 has released a new Latino International movie poster for Iron Man 3. The movie poster is the latest poster we have seen except it has everything in a wash of darker reds and crimsons.
Marvels Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy's hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce and Shane Black.
Iron Man 3 is presented by Marvel Studios in association with Paramount Pictures and DMG Entertainment. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige is producing and Jon Favreau, Louis D'Esposito, Stephen Broussard, Victoria Alonso, Alan Fine, Charles Newirth, Stan Lee and Dan Mintz are executive producers.

DIY wood/rock cleaning siphon brush
One thing I've noticed with aqua soil is that when you do a lot of planting, it settles back down on top of stuff and coats it and makes it dirty. It was bugging me so I made a siphon brush. I don't know if somebody makes this or not, it just dawned on me to make one this morning.
I apologize for the crappy iPhone pics, it's the only camera I have right now. :icon_roll
To make it, I took a bic pen, gutted it, and stuck it into a small siphon hose (the one that came with my gravel cleaning siphon). Next I stole a plug of bristles off a small dustpan hand sweeper brush. I held them in place around the pen with a little rubber o-ring, basically making a circular brush with a hole in the middle, and the hole leads up the siphon tube. Then I used hot glue to attach it all permanently with the o-ring holding it all.
This was all free (had it all sitting around the house), and only took about 15 minutes to make. How'd it work? Fantastic! As you brush, it sucks all the dirt right up the siphon hose, so there is no cloudiness in the water when you do it. There isn't enough pressure to suck up actual soil or disturb anything else, although it can suck up really small plants. I cleaned the driftwood and all the rocks in my tank in a matter of a couple of minutes, and now everything looks clean again. I was even able to brush off a few plants.
Here it is the piece of driftwood before — it's all nasty and dirty:
Sorry for all the air bubbles on this after pic, I did a water change when I was done. All clean though! You can see I was able to somewhat clean off the hydrocotyle and downoi in front of the driftwood as well.
Very nice DIY project!!! Thanks for sharing the pics.
I think I'll have to make up something like that for cleaning my rocks & driftwood in the smaller tanks.
In the first pic of your tank (before), I thought your driftwood was rocks...
Clever tool, looks like it's quite a bit easier then trying to simultaneously hold a brush and a siphon. Should also be useful for those folk bothered by new driftwood fungus.
Good job, and thanks for sharing
For future, a clown plecostomus keeps wood sparkling clean, just make sure u have enough to sate their appetite, the wont much on fresh looking wood, so its gotta age a few days between their eatings

Atlantans are famous for their OTP vs. ITP rivalry. Ask anyone who has lived in the Atlanta metro area for more than a few weeks, and they'll tell you that OTPers have to have a reason to head downtown, and when they do, they go to the Dome or the Fox. You may also hear that ITPers think anything beyond Dunwoody is "the sticks" and a trip to Dahlonega takes an entire day.
Whether you're Team OTP or Team ITP, you'll want to take full advantage of some of Georgia's best restaurants, plenty of hiking and a ton of history. Two out of three of those combine at Old Mill Park, an area along Vickery Creek where Roswell's original cotton mill was established and where remnants and ruins sit today.
I recommend parking at the Old Mill lot close to the covered bridge (follow the signs from Mill Street). Plentiful mounted maps guide you along the site, and you'll want to make sure you're wearing sneakers for the journey, which covers areas with stairs, wooden planking and muddy slopes. Some parts of Old Mill Park are handicapped accessible.
Heading left from the parking lot will take you through the twisted remnants of a building original of Roswell Manufacturing Company. Head a little further toward a 30-foot dam, which has water roaring over it because of all the rain northern Fulton County has had this year. Hike a bit further up the patch and you'll come across the calm area above the dam, a great spot to practice skipping stones.
Heading back down toward the parking lot, your trek will take you to a repurposed mill building where there are clean bathrooms and a beautiful covered bridge that you can cross to continue your journey through the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
Besides sneakers, make sure you bring your camera when you take your trip to Old Mill Park. It's a favorite spot in North Georgia for photographers.

The Russian army has long enjoyed a reputation for being a place that a young man should be from not going to. The abuse of young recruits, the humiliation and low pay make service in the armed forces of Russia not among the most pleasurable experiences known to a Russian in his twenties. Alexander Glukhov decided one day that enough was enough so he picked himself up and headed across the border to neighboring Georgia. But, in Putin, Russia, everyone loves to be part of the dreamworld the prime minister has created in which there is milk and honey for all. The Russian military immediately announced forces of the evil Georgia government had kidnapped the young man.
Poor Alexander simply got tired of life in the wonderful Russian army and hanging around South Ossetia, so he left. In response to leaders of the Russian government which can not even accept the possibility a single soldier would leave, "I was not kidnapped. I came by myself."
Honest, Vladmir, not everyone in Russia thinks you are the greatest. How about accepting the possibility that A soldier left of his own free will?

SYRACUSE, NY – The Merrimack men's lacrosse team became the first team to defeat Le Moyne at home in consecutive games since 2002-03 as the Warriors prevailed 7-6, advancing to the Northeast-10 Championship on Sunday at Adelphi.
The fifth seed in the tournament, Merrimack (11-5) will defend its Northeast-10 title against the second-seed Panthers on Sunday at 3 p.m., looking to become the first #5 seed to ever win the men's lacrosse NE-10 title.
For the top-ranked Dolphins, it was the second straight postseason they fell to Merrimack in Syracuse. Le Moyne is now 45-3 at home since 2006.
The win, which was the 50th in the four-year coaching tenure of Mike Morgan, makes Merrimack's coach the first-ever Division II head coach to reach 50 wins in just four seasons as a head coach.
"The team played really well," said Morgan. "We came out strong, shooting the lights out and played with confidence. They came back in the second half, but we didn't give in and getting that fourth quarter goal was big."
The Warriors dominated early, scoring as many goals in the first quarter as they did in their April 16 6-4 loss to Le Moyne. Merrimack controlled the ball for virtually the entire first eight minutes, as the visitors built a 3-0 lead behind goals from Greg Melaugh (Billerica, MA), Matt Klepper (Manlius, NY) and Brad McAdam (Neshanic Station, NJ) and two assists from Mike Perdie (Wading River, NY). Nick Maggio (Winchester, MA) won all six first-quarter draws as Merrimack outshot Le Moyne 12-3 in the first 15 minutes.
The visitors led 6-2 at one point in the second as both teams tallied two goals each before the half with Corey Lunney (Little Silver, NJ) netting both for Merrimack.
But Le Moyne answered back in the third with a pair of goals to cut Merrimack's lead to 6-5 with 15 minutes to play. The regular season champs outshot Merrimack 10-7 in the third, forcing Connor Reagan (East Lyme, CT) to make three third-quarter stops, his first and only three of the game.
McAdam opened the fourth with a big man-advantage goal at 1:40, taking a feed from Paul Jones (Guilderland, NY) and extending the Warriors' lead to two at 7-5.
From there, Merrimack survived two lengthy offensive sequences from the Dolphins, with Pete Schielke (Ridgefield, CT) causing a turnover on one of them, and ran down significant time in the Le Moyne zone, holding possession for most of the game's final five minutes.
Le Moyne made it a one-goal game as Tyler Sennett scored with 15 seconds left, but Maggio won the ensuing faceoff, and the Warriors prevailed with their second one-goal playoff win of the Northeast-10 Tournament.
McAdam netted two goals and seven ground balls in the win, notching the game-winning goal in Syracuse for the second straight season. Lunney also scored twice, while Perdie dished out two assists.
Reagan finished with three saves, all in the third quarter as Le Moyne outshot Merrimack 32-30, 18-10 in the second half but managed just nine shots on net in the loss.
Maggio was dominant on face offs, winning 13-of-17 draws. His last ground ball, his sixth of the game, was his 131st on the year, which tied the school record, held by Nolan Godfrey.
Merrimack fell to Adelphi 10-8 on April 9, as Eric Janssen stopped 16 shots for the Panthers in goal.

As rodeo season kicks off again in Houston, several University of St. Thomas students have a very different reason to put on their chaps and saddle up. Freshmen Tamara Esparza and Carina Tlapanco are two of six students selected as recipients of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarships for the 2013-2014 school year.
Dreams Come True for Tamara Esparza
Esparza, a pre-nursing major from Splendora, TX, said she felt excited and grateful to receive the rodeo scholarship, as it is one of the reasons she is able to attend a prestigious school as UST.
"This scholarship means the world to me," Esparza said. "I don't have to worry my parents with another payment to add to the numerous bills that they have to pay already. Because I come from a family that faces financial challenges, this scholarship allows me to put that worry aside."
As a pre-nursing student, Esparza dreams of becoming a nurse practitioner to help as many lives as she can. She chose the University of St. Thomas because she felt the small university atmosphere would contribute to the pursuit of her dream.
"The teacher-to-student ratio really caught my attention and gave me comfort in knowing that I would be able to create a great relationship with the professor," Esparza said. "[At UST], I am able to pursue my dreams and get the best education I can possibly receive because of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship."
Opportunities Are Endless for Carina Tlapanco
Tlapanco, a psychology major and Houston native, also credits the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Scholarship for allowing her to attend the school of her dreams.
"The rodeo and all its sponsors are very important to me," Tlapanco said. "I am very grateful for the opportunity they gave me to be a part of UST."
As a first generation student, Tlapanco searched for a University that would challenge and engage her intellectually, all while being relatively close to home. The fact that UST is small, private and Catholic is a nice bonus, Tlapanco said.
"I chose UST because it met all my needs," Tlapanco said. "I wanted to stay close to home, while attending a small university, where I wouldn't just be another number. Learning about my Catholic faith was also a priority for me, and UST gave me the opportunity to do that while exposing me to other cultures with its diversity."
Rodeo Scholarships Benefit Many
Other rodeo scholarship recipients include Andrea Arroyo, a junior joint major in general business and finance; Velckis Gonzalez, a junior psychology major; Hilary Mai, a freshman biology major; and Tiffany Mercado, a freshman pre-nursing major.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has contributed more than $300 million in scholarships and other endeavors since its inception in 1932.

text: The only problem I am experiencing with this is it shows all these people online that are not online. When I see that green box filled in I get all excited thinking that beekeeper is now on line and I can send a PM and get a reply back right away.Like right now I think that you are online and it makes me happy to see that green box lit up.But I understand what you mean that now we can see all these members listed that we never knew about before. Wow many people just reading and never saying anything.

With the advent of popular multimedia platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, the architectural profession is poised for change. So said Michelle Kaufmann, AIA, LEED AP, and 2009 Rising Star Leadership Award winner John Brown, RAIC, housebrand, in their September 15 session, "Using Mass Media and Technology to Promote Good Design."
Kaufmann, residential architect's 2008 Top Firm Leadership Award winner, told the crowd of about 200 that now is an essential time for reinvention and innovation, and that they should take advantage of it. "It's a great opportunity for us," she said. "There is so much waste and so much inefficiency, and we really have to rethink how we design and how we build, but also how we communicate with our clients."
For inspiration, Kaufmann said she looks to Charles and Ray Eames—the type of architecture they practiced; the principles on which they designed their buildings; and how they communicated "through many different modes, including toys, exhibits, film, and books."
Kaufmann embraces mass media in a big way, using platforms such as museum exhibits and Twitter to publicize her various endeavors, products, and events. She has had show homes built on the floor of the National Building Museum, in the parking lot in front of San Francisco's City Hall, and at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. "While the education in text form is helpful," she said, "it's nothing like someone walking through your home."
She also urged architects to provide as much information as possible on their websites for the purpose of educating potential clients and discussed the merits of video as an outreach tool. Architects should embrace the medium for providing thoughtful and accurate content, she said. Blogs are another good way to get information to people looking for content, she added. "The blog has been pretty helpful for going into varying amounts of detail on different things."
But significant questions remain. What, for example, does using these different forms of communication get you? And how do you measure what's important? For Kaufmann, all that effort has led to more than 300,000 people walking through her firm's show homes and exhibits. "We've had lots of press, which is great because it helps" educate the public, she said. It also results in heavy traffic for your websites. "As we look at these metrics and think, How is it going to help our business? it can also help in ways you could never imagine," she told attendees.
Brown used his portion of the session to discuss how his Calgary, Alberta-based firm, housebrand, has used different types of media to shape the practice. He began by asking how many attendees have a website they use on a regular basis and how many are satisfied with their office space. These questions had relevance to his firm and its relationship to the public, he said.
In housebrand's case, the firm followed the strategy of The Hertz Corp., which promoted renting cars in general rather than its own rental cars specifically. Similarly, housebrand didn't sell itself; rather, it sold the category of good design.
The firm started by buying a one-page ad in a local design magazine in which it instructed the public at large about design. "If there is one thing I can credit our success to, it's doing" that ad, Brown told the audience.
"This ultimately informs what we're doing within new media, but it's important not to think of new media as being separate from all the other marketing things that you do, including where it is that you do business, because your office is very much a part of your public persona," he said.
Next, housebrand embraced home shows, setting up each time an exhibition "that talked about real estate and the process. It didn't talk about us," he said. According to Brown, this was an early attempt to reach the public. And there have been many others. Each time, he explained, "We're not handing out business cards telling people about our fee structure. What we're doing is celebrating design, celebrating the idea of good thoughtful design to everybody."
Brown said his firm also shuns the conventional office space formula, instead modeling its workplace as a retail store where people can come in and simply browse. "It's a key component of our relationship to the public," he said. "That's what new media is about; it's about your relationship with the public, and your office is a huge part of that."
Brown also talked about his firm's use of video on the Slow Home website, an educational tool for viewers through which he analyzes floor plans and talks about ways to fix them.
"What's important about media is that it be integrated into an overall strategy for your business," he explained. "It's not just about how you get work but how you build up an idea of the category that you're in. If you use media in exciting new ways, it will benefit all of us."

Posted by James McQuivey on February 17, 2011
The most important outcome of this week's emerging tussle between Apple and Google is that we are about to have an intense and financially difficult conversation about what a fair price is for delivering customers to developers, publishers, and producers. Economically, this is one of the most critical issues that has to be resolved for the future of electronic content. Very soon, a majority of consumer experiences (that which we used to refer to as the media) will be digital. But not until the people who will develop those experiences have unambiguous, market-clearing rules for how they can expect to profit from those experiences.
The question comes down to this: Is 30% a fair price for Apple to charge? I must be clear about my intentions here. I do not employ the word "fair" the way my children often do. I am not whining about Apple's right to charge whatever it wants. Apple may do whatever is best for shareholders in the short- and long-run. I argued yesterday that Apple's recent decision does not serve its shareholders in the long run. Google announced One Pass yesterday – hastily, I might add – in order to signal to Apple and its shareholders that monopoly power rarely lasts forever. But none of that questions the ultimate morality of Apple's decision or its rights.
I use the word "fair" to refer to a state of economic efficiency. A fair price is one that maximizes not just individual revenue, but total revenue across all players. Such revenue maximization cannot be achieved without simultaneously satisfying the largest possible number of consumers with the greatest possible amount of innovation.

As the old year winds down a sense of hope arises that the hints and inklings of new products and services that have been leaking out over the past months may actually materialize in the New Year. Some of them are products that vendors have solidly promised and assigned release dates to, some are part of vaguely marked road maps and some are simply pipedreams fueled by persistent rumors. Others are services or intriguing situations that could arise. Regardless, here are some of the ones that have caught our eye and that we hope turn out to be as eye catching in reality.

Microsatellite Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Analysis
Variable nucleotide tandem repeats (VNTRs) are repeating sequences of multi-base segments of DNA. If the repeat is equal to or less than 6 bases, NTRs are named microsatellites, also known as short tandem repeats (STRs). One common example of a microsatellite is a (CA)n repeat, where n varies between alleles. Because microsatellites are polymorphic DNA loci present throughout the genome, microsatellite genotyping is a widely accepted tool for a variety of research applications such as linkage mapping studies, association studies, and identification of organisms.
Our five-dye chemistry increases the number of microsatellite markers that can be run in a single capillary, substantially improving the throughput.
Step-by-Step Guide to Microsatellite STR Analysis
DNA extraction is a critical first step in the experimental workflow of DNA Sequencing and Fragment analysis. The overall quality, accuracy and length of the DNA sequence read can be significantly affected by characteristics of the sample itself, and the method chosen for nucleic acid extraction. Ideal methods will vary depending on the source or tissue type, how it was obtained from its source, and how the sample was handled or stored prior to extraction.
Recommended Products: DNA Isolation
Amplify the DNA region containing the microsatellite of interest.
Recommended Products: Perform PCR
Add aliquot of PCR product to size standard and Hi-Di Formamide mix; heat denature and proceed with electrophoresis.
Recommended Products: Prepare Sample for Analysis
Sizing Information
To learn more about our GeneScan Size standards used in sizing experiments please see our table below.
During capillary electrophoresis, the products of the PCR are injected electrokinetically into capillaries filled with polymer. High voltage is applied so that the fluorescent DNA fragments are separated by size and are detected by a laser/camera system.

David Flanagan is a computer programmer who spends most of his time writing about JavaScript and Java. His books with O'Reilly include Java in a Nutshell, Java Examples in a Nutshell, Java Foundation Classes in a Nutshell, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, and JavaScript Pocket Reference. David has a degree in computer science and engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives with his wife and son in the U.S. Pacific Northwest bewteen the cities of Seattle, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia. David has a simple website at http://www.davidflanagan.com.
View David Flanagan's full profile page.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of JavaScript: The Definitive Guide is a Javan rhinoceros. All five species of rhinoceros are distinguished by their large size, thick, armor-like skin, three-toed feet, and single or double snout horn. The Javan rhinoceros, along with the Sumatran rhinoceros, is one of two forest-dwelling species. The Javan rhinoceros is similar in appearance to the Indian rhinoceros, but smaller and with certain distinguishing characteristics, primarily skin texture. Rhinoceroses are often depicted standing up to their snouts in water or mud. In fact, they can frequently be found just like that. When not resting in a river, rhinos will dig deep pits in which to wallow. Both of these resting places provide a couple of advantages. First, they give the animal relief from the tropical heat and protection from blood-sucking flies. (The mud that the wallow leaves on the skin of the rhinoceros provides some protection from flies, also.) Second, mud wallows and river water help support the considerable weight of these huge animals, thereby relieving the strain on their legs and back. Folklore has long held that the horn of the rhinoceros possesses magical and aphrodisiacal powers, and that humans who gain possession of the horns will gain those powers, also. This is one of the reasons why rhinoceroses are a prime target of poachers. All species of rhinoceros are in danger, and the Javan rhino is the most precarious. There are fewer than 100 of these animals still living. At one time Javan rhinoceroses could be found throughout southeastern Asia, but they are now believed to exist only in Indonesia and Vietnam. Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover layout was produced by Kathleen Wilson with Quark XPress 3.3 using the ITC Garamond font. Whenever possible, our books use RepKoverTM, a durable and flexible lay-flat binding. If the page count exceeds RepKover's limit, perfect binding isused. The inside layout was designed by Nancy Priest and Mary Jane Walsh. Text was prepared in SGML using the DocBook 2.1 DTD. The print version of this book was created by translating the SGML source into a set of gtroff macros using a filter developed at ORA by Norman Walsh. Steve Talbott designed and wrote the underlying macro set on the basis of the GNU troff -gs macros; Lenny Muellner adapted them to SGML and implemented the book design. The GNU groff text formatter version 1.09 was used to generate PostScript output. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book; the constant-width font used in this book is Letter Gothic. The illustrations that appear in the book were created in Macromedia Freehand 5.0 by Chris Reilley.

JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition Review
By Bud Murphy
I agree with Ken Januski. In fact, after suffering through the 3rd Edition for several unproductive years (including just now!), I refuse to even consider another.
By Derek Schulz
I find this book very useful for me. I use Javascript programming in my work frequently, and here i find many super and useful examples of using javascript code. In my opinion, JavaScript: The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition is definitive guide book for all javascript programmers.Derek Schulz
By Neil Johnson
An excellent book, I am most of the way through part 1 and 2 and it has been a real eye-opener as to how JavaScript works. The examples helped make clear some of the more esoteric parts of Javascript, including the concept of functions being objects! It has also helped to explain a number of inherited javascripts that have been partially incomprehensible.This book will definitely be sitting directly on my desk as a reference book.
By Bill E
I have been teaching myself to program from books since 1991. On my shelf are books by Petzold ,Prosise, and Appleman. I have been dabbling with Javascript for the last 4 years and felt I needed something more comprehensive than the Dummies reference I have been relying on. Perhaps it is just because I fall dead center of this book's target readership but, having almost completed the Core Guide section, I would say David Flanagan has produced the best programming book I have ever read. His approach is rational and his writing is succinct. He imparts his understanding of the topic without dogmatic assertions and without his ego intruding into the text. I am devouring this book like a novel, learning something with just about every page I turn, and cannot wait to get on to the Client-Side Javascript in Part 2.
By Todd
If you truly want to understand the inner workings of JavaScript (not just make a background color change every .2 seconds or open a new window), I would say this book is essential. I'm addicted... I'm on my fifth time thru the Core Language section. David lays the language out in painstaking detail! I highly recommend!Todd

By Ken Januski
I've avoided the use of Javascript as much as possible, possibly due to my adverse reaction to this book (3rd edition) on my first read. Now I'm rereading it because I need so use Javascript on some pages. But in between the first and second read I've gotten much more fluent in both Java and Perl so I really trust that I'm competent to read it and most programming/scripting books. But just like on my first read the book, and maybe the language, are just as offputting as they were before.I'm not really sure why that is but I think that the first section just doesn't do a very good job of explaining the internals. Or perhaps the internals just indicate a real hodgepodge of a language. I'm currently reading Learning Perl Objects Modules and References and it explains a very complex subject far more clearly than this. And that's not due to the humor. It just explains things more clearly. But what I really can't figure out is if that is because Perl, like Java, is just a language that is far more logical than Javascript or whether the explanations of those languages in the books I've read are just far better than this.Sorry to rain on everybody's parade but after finding myself suffering mental anguish as I try to read through this for the second time I have to think that it's not just me.I'm guessing that most people like it for the reference section. And they may be right. But trying to understand the language by reading the first part if like reading the manuals that used to come with software. All they did was give you a headache. I've probably read 100 O'Reilly books so I think that should be evidence enough that I don't have trouble with difficult books. There's just something about this one that makes it torture to read.I wish it were not so.

I also have to strongly disagree with the first review. I just picked up the 4th edition for a graduate class on web scripting and development and for work as a web developer. I was almost immediately able to adapt several of the example scripts. These are very real-world examples! Apparently the reviewer has superior knowledge and only has to look up highly esoteric, very obscure points about JavaScript. I found the reference, the entire book in fact, clearly written and well worth the cost.
By Kenneth Wilcox
This book has been dubbed by me as THE bible for/of JavaScripting. Plenty of information on the nitty-gritty of JavaScript. I've been using JavaScripts with my web pages for a while now (4 years) and there was a wealth of information I didn't even know existed. The bulk of the book is an invaluable reference, better than any I have seen online. If you do JavaScripting and do not own this book; I'd like to know how you do it. I think it would be painful without it.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by streetball, Apr 30, 2009.
Ron Artest said so in an interview, check it out on NBA.com here's the interview
I saw this interview last night... you never know what is going to come out of Artest mouth when you put a mic in front of him. On one hand he was dissing Leborn and Kobe's game and then giving the young guy some props.
Nah. But he is really, really, really good. You got Lebron, Wade and Kobe, and then you got Brandon Roy. I'd take him over Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and the Vince Carters (always unfairly hated on) of the league (albeit it has a hell of a lot to do with age)
*saying this casually* He's a psycho.
Did you hear when he talked to the press after they won the first series. "Yeah, I've been in the stands before" "Yeah, a guy actually offered me a beer, and I was like I got to sit down and enjoy this" Artest...the funny psycho. Chris Paul/Deron Williams say hi.
They are not wingmen, and I was putting him against wingmen. And either way Roy > Williams despite it beings apples and oranges.
LeBron Kobe Roy
Opps, I thought Artest meant was for best player in the league as Kobe and Lebron are always in those talks.
Lebron is the best player...he's only 24 with a ton of potential! Kobe is second...master of the game...more talented at this point than Lebron but let's not forget that he is a lot older than he looks. Dwayne Wade Chris Paul Deron Williams Tim Duncan Kevin Garnett Dwight Howard Chris Bosh Paul Pierce Brandon Roy Kevin Durant Steve Nash Yao Ming Carmelo Anthony Chauncey Billups Derrick Rose Ron Artest Joe Johnson Honorable mention: Darko Milicic I feel like I'm missing a couple of people!
Yeah I would put Amare Stoudemire ahead of Darko and Brandon Roy..
I'd put Darko between Howard and Bosh, move Kobe to 1st, Roy to 2nd, and Lebron 3rd. But that's based on play today. If you consider age and future development, Roy 1st, Lebron, OJ Mayo, Rose, and Darko if he doesnt go to Europe. Next future bust, Blake Griffin (too short to play PF).

Jmes Zogby, writing in the Egypt Daily News, analyzes what has been successful and what has not worked in attempts to bridge Israel-Arab differences. He cites a new report released by the US Institute for Peace entitled: "Negotiating Arab-Israel Peace: American Leadership in the Middle East," which argues "Bush 41″ tried to dopt a balanced view in moving ahead on this topic. His major failure was not being able to build a viable coalition in America for peace and then being distracted by his re-election attempt. The report says Bill Clinton was more effective in creating a domestic support base but was "less disciplined and less strategic than his predecessor." The report blames Clinton for not focusing sufficiently on Palestinian politiclal needs and leaning too far toward being concerned about Israel security needs. Unfortunately, Clinton did not become personally involved in the peace process until the last few months of his administration which was too late to have lasting impact.
The administration of the current George Bush is subject to the most criticism saying there is a lack of strategic clarity purpose and initially he was more concerned with "regime change" than with creating conditions for peace between Israel and Palestinians. When Bush got involved it was more at the rhetorical level with little or no follow through. His mismanagement and blunders in Iraq have made America disliked in the Middle East which hampers assuming leadership in peace efforts.
Autors of the report emphasize the importance of creating a peace process which is viewed in the Arab world as balanced and American leaders should be working to further compromise on the part of all parties. Zogby believes a new president must be "willing to use pressure and politics not only to bring Israelis and Palestinians together, but also to transform US, Israel, and Palestinian atittudes-building a new consensus that recognizes the necessity and benefits of Middle Eastern peace."
Hopefully, a new US president will move beyond words towards action and use the office of the presidency as a force for compromise on the part of all parties.

The Japanese government has been negligent in its presentation of World War II, particularly as it relates to actions of Japanese military forces and their brutality. Chie Miyagi, an English teacher in Okinawa has written, "A Letter From Okinawa" which depicts the battle of Okinawa during which the Japanese military ordered civilians to kill themselves rather than surrender to the Americans. Ms. Myiyagi's story is really that of her mother who happened to be serving as a nurse and escaped the Okinawa events. However, her own parents died in this manner. Ms. Miyagi is endeavoring to assist her students deal with their nation's past even as World War II events disappear from their memories.
Ms. Myigai was assisted in writing the English language picture book by Professor Peter Simpson of Okinawa International University. Professor Simpson notes that "in Okinawa, the memory of the war, especially among young people is fading. Even the antiwar kind of culture is under threat.

Feel free to be bias if youd like, though some 'reason' would be nice to read. And clearly 'best' is very subjective....maybe it should be said that it is designed very well, or very accurate, or most reliable in a home defense situation....those may be better criteria to define 'best' American 9mm.
It doesnt need to be originally designed in the US....just as long as a gun is currently made in the states.
Looking forward to what gets posted below!!
(i wanted to edit my original post, so this doesnt get out of hand....please limit pistols to ones you can find for under $1,000 -- thanks!)

I would say you have an AR. It should be DA/SA, all stainless, have poly grips and a non adjustable trigger. I have one and wouldn't part with it. I improved mine by sending it to Grayguns for their X5 Lightning package which I was very happy with. I don't think you will see "X-Five" on any of the X-Five guns.
The Competition and L1 models are SAO and do have an adjustable trigger. Then you have the Tactical which has an alloy frame. If you want, you can fit a mag well and the NILL wood grips which I have also done.

I 'am in the middle of painting a Friends 67 chevelle with a med blue metallic with ditzler dbc. I put on two coats and plan to let it dry overnight Then lite sand it and check it over good then give it 2-3 more good coats of paint. Will I have any issues doing this with dbc?I have thought of masking it off after the paint has sat for about 4 hrs. and clear it in stages. Like the front clip first then mask it. paint door with clear then when dry mask off doors and paint roof and 1/4 panels last. My thinking is less over-spray at any one time the less dust in clear. then sand and buff when good and dry.This thing has to be perfect or I will be redoing it.Great guy just really picky!!!!!!.What you paint pros think of this. I'am not limited on time.
DBC has a 24 hour recoat window, which after that time must be sanded and re-based. It has a mask off time of about an hour to be on the safe side. You really should not have to re spray your base after 2-3 coats anyway unless you have a ton of trash in it. Be careful what grit paper you are going to use, with the base mettallics they are not too forgiving with covering up a course grit scratch as a solid color will. I usually use 1500 grit with wax & grease remover as a lubricant to "wet sand" just the trash areas only.

With mellifera, can you tell if a queen is in the swarm by the looks of the clump? With cerana, if the swarm is roughly symmetrical in shape and teardrop in appearance, you have a queen. If there is no queen, the swarm will be oddly shaped, possibly elongated, or with ribs, etc. Does swarm shape tell you anything about a mellifera swarm?
Why would they swarm without a queen?
i don't know that i have ever found one without a queen
beecanbeeHow do you house your bees? Do you use langstroth or similar hives or something completely different.

Local handicrafts and artisanal items to pick up on your trip
For additional authentic finds see Michela Scibilia's book Venice Botteghe, a unique shopping guide to the artisans of Venice.
Murano Glass
Glass takes on every form you can imagine, from kitschy barnyard figurines to gleaming jewelry to art glass sculptures. Glass is widely available all over Venice, but it's worth a trip to the island of Murano to stroll among the shops. Stop first at the Promovetro website (www.promovetro.com) for a primer on terms and techniques, plus tips on how to avoid fakes.
Mask shops and stands are ubiquitous, but beware: The cheapest wares are made in China. Traditional masks are made of papier-mâché or leather and fetch a pretty penny. Start at Mondonovo at Dorsoduro 3063 (www.mondonovomaschere.it) or Papier Mache at Castello 5178.
For handmade letter and art paper, and hand-bound journals with marbled or block-printed covers, stop at Cartavenezia, Santa Croce 2125; Valese Alberto, San Marco 3471; or Olbi, Cannaregio 5478/A (olbi.atspace.com/).
To buy handcrafted shoes made to order or high-end, whimsical footwear creations visit Zanella, Castello 5641; Ghezzo, San Marco 4365; or Gmeiner, San Polo 591. At Dittura Gianni (819–820 Calle Fiubera, San Marco), slip on a pair of the more budget-friendly furlane, traditional gondoliers' jewel-bright velvet slippers with recycled bicycle tire soles.
Prison Handicrafts
Two different cooperatives work with inmates on Giudecca; prisoners earn money and gain work experience. Banco No. 10, Castello 3478, sells clothing and handbags created by inmates at the women's prison, made with luxurious silks, brocades, and velvets. Rio Terà Dei Pensieri works with women inmates, who make cosmetics from medicinal herbs, and male prisoners, who make leather goods and print quirky T-shirts and canvas bags; sold at kiosks seasonally and at a few stores.
Fortuny made his name here, and his trademark fabrics are still manufactured under top-secret conditions at a factory on Giudecca; Giudecca 805. Bevilacqua has produced velvet and damask fabrics in Venice for more than a century; Santa Croce 1320. Rubelli weaves fantastic brocades; San Marco 3877.

Project Chevota
Well I started working on my truck again last wk. I have had this truck for almost 12 yrs, it was pretty close to stock when i bought it back in 97'. This will be the 3rd major build session for this truck. The first build I swapped out the drivetrain for a chevy vortec v6, 4l60e tranny, and a chevy tcase. I also installed a 5 inch superlift suspension kit and did some chevota type mods like chevy steering column, instrument cluster, bucket seats, center counsel and more. On the second build I installed a fiberglass box, .456 gears, locker in the rear, ditched the lift blocks for lift springs and painted the truck purple.
Here is a pic of it when i got it
This pic is the start of the first build on the truck.
This pic is just the rolling chasis
This pic is the donor truck were I got the motor and tranny from
This pic is setting the motor and tranny on the frame
This is a pic from the top with motor and tranny on the frame
Here is a pic of all the wiring I had to swap into the truck
Anyway just a start to my project post I will post more info and pics as I find them. As I mentioned this will be the 3rd build for the truck. These are pics from the first build. Hope you enjoy following the build.
Unfortunately I cannot find the pics from the second build, maybe i didnt take any, I cant remember. But heres a pic from silver lake last yr.
This time around Ive got some cool plans, for starters i was going to fix the hole I noticed developing in the floor of the cab, but decide to go a little further because the cab is getting pretty bad. So the plan is to rebuild the cab with a cage integrated into it. The cage inside the cab will attach to the cage I will be building over the bed, this should strengthen the truck immensely. I also plan to put some seating and padding in the bed when I do that cage, eventually I will make a soft top for that also.
Last yr I had to section the frame because it was really weak and cracked in the typical spot for these trucks. So this yr I want to build a whole new frame from scratch. Right now the plan is to do some sort of 4 link on bags in the rear and build a long travel independent setup in the front. PreRunner style, you dont see to many people doing this type of a build with these trucks, usually they ditch the IFS and put a straight axle in. But I like to be different and have always like the prerunner look so I am going that route. This should be interesting as I will be making as many of the parts as I can. There are some kits that you can buy but they are outrageously expensive.
And, yes I will be powder coating everything!! Ive even got some ideas on how to pc the frame. Its a little different process since the frame wont fit in my oven but i think we will figure it out, it will be beneficial to us if we can because I have to turn them away now.
although I'm not sure how much of it I will get to right now. Whatever I dont do now i will do in the fall.
Anyway heres some pics from the work last wk.
A little more progress, not as much as would like but things are a little crazy around here right now. We got the cab braced, holes cut in the floor with braces going down to the frame.
Next up, cut the floor out, remove cab mounts and start fabricating new cab mounts and roll cage.
I also have to fabricate a new tubing bender for this project, I have a game plan and material for that, so hopefully it wont hold me up to much.
It seems the further I get into this project the busier I get with pc work so i hope that doesnt slow me down too much i want this thing trail worthy again by the end of may. If I get held up on it too much I think I will hold off on the new frame and suspension till fall. Its too early to call right now, I'll decide when I get the cab done.

Powder Coater
Well, got a little more done today thanks to T. We took the box off, cut out the floor, the rockers and most of the back wall. A little more hackin and it will be time to start putin the cab back together.
|June 30th, 2009, 11:09 PM
Powder Coater
So I figured its time I updated this. The cab reconstruction and roll cage took a little longer then I expected but turned out pretty well. heres a few pics of the past couple months.
|September 11th, 2009, 09:56 PM
Powder Coater
Yeah, I need to update this a little. Summer has been pretty busy so not alot of progress on the truck like I had hoped. I have been working on fabricating a custom dash. Ive spent way more time on it than I wanted to, but I think the end result will be worth it. I also got some 4 point harnesses and mounted the seats. I'll try and get some new pics up soon.

I went shooting with 1911 MagMonger (Larry) today and I truly enjoyed myself. Larry is a member of the 1911 Board and he brought his brand new 9mm Springfield XD and I showed up with my Glock 17, stainless Kahr K9, and FN/FM high Power. For those that do not know this FN/FM high Power is known as The Bastard. Why The Bastard? The reason is this pistol was a FM High Power and a pain in the ass to get going, I blew the frame, and Alex Hamilton put it back together using a FN frame.
Glock 17:
The Bastard:
Kahr 9:
As usual for me all shooting was done at 7-10 yards. 1911 MagMonger shot his Springfield XD well but he did better with my Glock 17. Larry also shot my Kahr K9, doing nicely, but he was apprehensive of a pistol without a safety. Strangely, his fears were not constant when it came to the XD and Glock. Larry seemed to like The Bastard but it choked a couple of times on him. I am not sure if the chokes were due to the ammo (Winchester White Box) or Larrys hold.
In my case I did my best with my Glock 17 followed by The Bastard, and my Kahr 9. Sadly, my worst shooting was with Larrys XD; I wonder if it is due to it being a new weapon or the Glocks 3 ½ pound trigger.

Have two Kel-Tecs. P11 and P3AT.
Both are reliable. Have fired the P11 700+ rounds and the P3AT 300+ times. The P11 ejector broke at around 500 rounds. Don't know for sure but understand they had a batch of weak ejectors some time ago and have rectified the problem. Called them and had a new one in 3 days.
Kel-Tec is neither a range or show gun. However, due to their size, weight and concealability I carry one or the other or both neearly every day and have Sigs, S&Ws, and Rugers in my collection.
Some degrade them due to their cost and looks but that does not matter to me.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 52
1. I've seen friends with the same problem- with screen names, email account names, etc. They pick a name that's really meaningful for them at the moment, but then wind up changing the name and changing it again as they change. I'm not saying there's anything wrong about that- but I think with titles people can run into the same problem.
What I did was pick a name that had no meaning to me whatsoever. And yeah, over 13 years later, I'm still using it.
So maybe take all the ideas for titles that you have and mangle them together. Or pick something completely different. Maybe then you won't feel like it's 'wrong' or doesn't suit your content and hence will be less tempted to change it.
2. I've got no problem with it. God knows I've butchered a few songs lyrics for titles and such over the years. :P
1 & 3 - I think you should stick with the same title if you want to continue to write about the same issues, or you should change it if you want to do something different. I usually give a more-or-less determinate character to each title I produce, and that allows me to have different "series" of zines going on at the same time. For instance, Fucus is a comic and illustration zine, my main project, but every once in a while I would release an issue of Manual, my DIY mini-zine, when I've gathered enough texts to fill it. That allows me to write or draw about different things at the same time, and to end a project when I feel it has arrived to a dead end.
If you want to start a new title, do it, but maybe you should consider writing about something different, or changing your point of view. If not, it's going to be the same zine with a different name, which would confuse your readers...
2 - I personally don't like music bands named after other band's songs, I think it's not very original. Maybe you can find an interesting title related to your zine theme, your character or something you like very much. Just combine an adjective and a noun, choose a word in a foreign language, look up for words in a dictionary, invent a word that only you know the meaning of, try to formulate an unnamed feeling (happy disgust, etc), describe an anecdote or an important moment of your life, appropriate the nom of an Historical figure, write a word backwards or change the order of the letters, mix up words cut up from a newspaper and take two of them without looking at them (dadaist style)... But all this are only suggestions, so you can do what you like ;)
1. That does not describe me, but I'm sure there are.
2. I'm not a big fan of naming things after songs, but I think the important issue is really just whether it works. Aside from it's connection to the song, is it a good name? Is the reference to the song relevant and meaningful and appropriate to the actual content of the zine? It's also worth considering how a reference to a band will affect the audience's opinion of something. If I recognize a reference to something I don't like in the title of something, I'm a lot less likely to look at it.
3. Whatever you want.
I like to name things different, too. But, then again I am big into themes and I get carried away with them. I originally did Current Resident as Imaginary Life. So, it was Imaginary Life #2 - current resident. I ended up changing it later, becasue it really was a different zine and it deserved it's own title - and it was confusing.
But, in general. I think sub titling a zine can take care of this. So, your zine would be Maps #2 - Rain also Rises - or whatever it was. I am not saying you have to use Maps, but if you stick with one you can still sub title it other things.
I use the zine Paper Crush like that. I have had 3 issues and two of them had a subtitle.
I think using song lyrics is no problem.
I do think Maps is kind of too short. It feels like it needs something else, like Lost Maps or Reading Maps or whatever....
But, yeah, I agree you need to find a main name and keep on with it. Or if you really don't want to you can make up a press name like I did and always use that. People may learn to look for that.
Hope some of this helps.
Even though I did technically name one of my past zines (Red-Hooded Sweatshirt) after a song, I think the fact that it was also the name of a pretty innocuous/relatable item of clothing kept it from being lumped into the "named after a song" category.
You can name your zine whatever you'd like, but my personal hesitation is that you are forever (or, you know, for the life of your zine) tied to that song/artist. Maybe tomorrow you wake up and can't stand Bjork! Or whatever! The other thing that I think is kind of a bummer is when people won't even pick up a zine called "William It Was Really Nothing" because they hate The Smiths, or "Dog on Wheels" because they hate Belle and Sebastian. Are those the kind of people you want as your readership? Maybe, maybe not. But something to consider. Personally, I am really glad that I never thought to name my zine anything ska-related, because now that doesn't really resonate with me as much as it did when I was 20.
All of that said, I am much more of a fan of really random zine names. Ultraviolet Q-Tips was one I always really liked, because wow, that is so random! See also: Muffin Bones.

I've been raising domestic ducks on my property for three years. This year, I would like to roast one particularly aggressive drake for Thanksgiving. I'm hoping some experienced hunters would share methods for plucking and gutting the whole duck (breasting seems a waste with my large breed ducks).
What is your preferred method for removing feathers: wax, hot water, skinning, dry plucking, scorching? How do you prevent the skin from tearing when you pluck?
Do I need to bleed him? What about gutting--Is there an oil gland I need to remove? Can I pull the gizzard out with the other organs if I cut him from vent to sternum? Is there anything else I need to remove? Where/how do I cut the neck?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
