Indeed, this library of filters also permits you to perform powerful validation on variables in a pretty straightforward fashion, without the need to define custom and complex functions. So, if you're interested in learning how to use these filters within your own web applications, then this group of articles might be the material that you're looking for.
Logically, if you already had the chance to read the introductory installment of this series, then at this point you'll have a fairly clear idea of how to use the filter extension for validating integers. In that specific tutorial I coded a few basic examples that demonstrated how to carry out this task by using the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter in conjunction with the "filter_var()" function.
Not only did this filter allow us to check whether a given value was an integer or not, but it permitted us to determine if the value in question was within a specified range. This extra functionality was implemented via an additional "option" array, which was passed to the aforementioned "filter_var()" function.
However, I'm only scratching the surface when it comes to exploring the numerous capabilities offered by the filter extension. Therefore, in this second chapter of this series, I'm going to discuss how to use the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter that you learned in the previous part, this time for validating array elements as well as octal and hexadecimal integers.
Does this sound complex to you? It won't be at all, trust me. Now, let's get rid of the preliminaries and continue exploring the useful validation capacities of the filter PHP 5 extension!
{mospagebreak title=Review: the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter}
In case you still haven't had an opportunity to read the preceding part of the series, where I discussed the use of the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter to validate integers, below I included the examples that I coded then, so you can examine them in detail. Here they are:
(example on validating an integer value)
$input = 123456;
// check to see if $input is an integer
echo filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT); // displays 123456
(example on validating a float value)
$input = 1.2;
// check to see if $input is an integer
echo filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT); // displays nothing
(example on validating a string value)
$input = '4.56';
if(filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) === FALSE) // displays Input is not an integer.
echo 'Input is not an integer.';
echo 'Input is an integer.';
(example on validating an integer value)
$input = '123456';
if(filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) === FALSE) // displays Input is an integer.
echo 'Input is not an integer.';
echo 'Input is an integer.';
(example on validating an integer value specifying min and max limits)
$min = 1;
$max = 99;
$input = 101;
if(filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array("options" => array("min_range" => $min, "max_range"=> $max ))) === FALSE) // displays Error: Input must be a value between 1 and 99 (Correct specification for the min and max options)
echo 'Error: Input must be a value between 1 and 99.';
echo 'Input is correct';
(example on validating an integer value specifying only max limit)
$min = 1;
$max = 99;
$input = 101;
if(filter_var($input, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array("options" => array("max_range"=> $max ))) === FALSE) // displays Error: Input must be a value between 1 and 99 (Specifies only the max option)
echo 'Error: Input must be a value between 1 and 99.';
echo 'Input is correct';
From the code samples listed above, it's clear to see how easy it is to check whether or not the value assigned to a determined variable is an integer by using the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter in conjunction with the "filter_var()" function. In the two last examples, the filter in question has been used along with an additional "option" array, which allowed us to specify minimal and maximal boundaries for the integer being validated.
Now that you hopefully grasped the logic that stands behind using the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter, it's time to continue exploring the functionality given by the filter extension. In the following section I'm going to explain how to use the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter for checking whether or not all the elements of an array are integers.
To see how this functionality of the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter will be used in a concrete example, please click on the link that appears below and keep reading.{mospagebreak title=Filtering array elements}
Quite possibly one of the most powerful functions that comes bundled with the filter extension is the one called "filter_var_array()." As its name implies, it can be used to apply, in one single round, a specified filter to all of the elements of an array.
To demonstrate the actual functionality of this function, I'm going to code a basic example that will use the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter that you saw in the previous section. Nonetheless, it's valid to clarify that all the filters available with the extension can be used with the function in question, so you can imagine how useful it can be for checking multiple values. But it's time to move past the theory and see how the function can be used to validate whether the elements of a given array are integers. The code sample below does that in a simple manner. Look at it:
// example on using the filter_var_array() function with FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter
$values = array(1, '0.675', -123456, 'This is a string', "abcdef", array(1, 2, 3));
// create an array of filtered values
$filtered_values = filter_var_array($values, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT);
foreach($filtered_values as $key=>$value)
echo '<p>' . $key .' —- ' . $value . '</p>';
/* displays the following
0 —- 1
1 —-
2 —- -123456
3 —-
4 —-
5 —- Array
Here you have it. As I mentioned before, the "filter_var_array()" function allows you to apply a specific filter to all of the elements of an array. In this particular case, I decided to use this function with the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter, but you may want to try using others and see how well it works.
Now, returning to the above example, you can see that the function also returns an array of mixed values, depending on the type of filter applied to the incoming data. Since in this particular case, I'm checking only for integers, the function displays nothing when this condition isn't satisfied.
So far, so good. At this point I'm sure that you've already realized the potential of using the "filter_var_array()" function, meaning that it's time to explore even more capabilities of the filter extension. The next thing that I'm going to discuss will consist of explaining how to utilize the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter, this time for validating both octal and hexadecimal integers.
Thus, if you wish to learn how this will be accomplished, click on the link below and read the next few lines.
{mospagebreak title=Validating octal and hexadecimal integers using the flags option}
One handy bonus given by the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter is its ability to check integers represented by numeration systems other than the decimal one. This extra functionality can be obtained by specifying a "flags" option when using the "filter_var()" previously explained. By means of these flags, it is possible, for instance, to validate both octal and hexadecimal integers with extreme ease.
The following two examples demonstrate a simple usage of the flags. Look at them, please:
// example on validating hexadecimal integers
// check hexadecimal integers
$hexValue = '0xf0';
echo filter_var($hexValue, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array('flags' => FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_HEX)); // displays 240
// example on validating octal integers
$octValue = '7601';
echo filter_var($octValue, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array('flags' => FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_OCTAL)); // displays 7601
As I mentioned before, the "flags" option permits you to check for integer values that have been represented in octal and hexadecimal. In the first case, to validate a hexadecimal value, the FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_HEX constant has been specified within the "filter_var()" function, while in the second example, the FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_OCTAL constant has been passed to the function to check an octal integer.
And finally, with these last couple of code samples, I'm finishing this second part of the series that introduces the filter extension that comes included with PHP 5. As usual, feel free to edit all of the examples shown in this tutorial, so you can get a better idea of the numerous validation capabilities offered by this extension.Final thoughts
It's hard to believe, but we've come to the end of this second part of this series. Hopefully the experience has been pretty educational, since you learned how to use the FILTER_VALIDATE_INT filter to validate arrays of values, as well as octal and hexadecimal integer values by using the "flag" option.
In the upcoming article, things will become even more interesting. I'm going to explain how to utilize the filter extension to check whether or not a value assigned to a variable is Boolean. So, now that you've been warned about the topics that will be covered in the next tutorial, you don't have any excuse to miss it!

We're launching DDR4 at up to 3000MHz speeds and 8GB per stick densities, but that's just this year alone. DDR4 is expected to hit 16GB densities in 2015, allowing your X99 motherboard to support a staggering 128GB of memory (provided it has eight memory slots). In short, it's gonna get bigger, and it's gonna get faster.
Yes! We have been working hard with all major motherboard vendors to ensure compatibility with our high speed DDR4 memory, and that includes XMP. DDR4 employs a new specification, XMP 2.0, while DDR3 remains on XMP 1.3.
There are four major reasons why DDR4 is set to replace DDR3: it's capable of hitting faster speeds, it's capable of hitting higher densities (16GB DIMMs are expected in 2015), it has improved error correction built into the baseline specification, and it consumes less power for equivalent or better performance than DDR3. In short, while DDR3 is butting up against its limitations today, DDR4 still has a tremendous amount of room to scale.
While we've been working around the clock with motherboard vendors to maximize compatibility and performance, these technologies are all very new. If you have trouble with stability using either XMP profile, we recommend either manually entering the speed and timings the DDR4 is rated for or running your memory at its default speeds until your motherboard vendor provides a BIOS update to improve stability.
Very similarly to DDR3, but with some caveats. For starters, Haswell-E tops out at a 2666MHz memory strap, which is very low for what DDR4 can do. Since XMP specifies speeds in excess of 2666MHz, your motherboard BIOS has to compensate somehow. Typically, when XMP tells the motherboard to use a higher memory speed than 2666MHz, the motherboard BIOS will bump the BClk strap from 100MHz to 125MHz. That's normal, but that change will also increase the clock speed of the CPU itself; a well-designed BIOS will compensate and bring the CPU clock speed in line.

What is a Brownfield?
Brownfields are properties that are contaminated, or thought to be contaminated, and are underutilized due to perceived remediation costs and liability concerns. California recognizes that cleaning up brownfield properties frees previously unavailable land for productive reuse, while taking development pressures off undeveloped open land, thereby improving and protecting the environment. Timely investigations and cleanups of brownfield sites promotes economic development and reinvestment in California through post-cleanup development and sustainable reuse.
All sites are subject to the same standards; these standards were developed to protect human health and the environment as set forth in state and federal laws, regulations, and policies. Additionally, because DTSC recognizes stakeholder and public information needs, DTSC remains committed to promote and maintain public participation in project decisions for all sites, including voluntary projects.
To learn more about Brownfields, watch DTSC's video and visit the U.S. EPA Brownfields website.

If you see hundreds of athletic-looking young men at and around Nicholls State's campus over the next several days, there is a good explanation.
If you see hundreds of athletic-looking young men at and around Nicholls State's campus over the next several days, there is a good explanation.
The Manning Passing Academy, one of the elite training sessions for high school football players, is being held at Nicholls State.
The academy features former New Orleans Saints quarterback Archie Manning and his sons, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning and older brother Cooper Manning.
The Mannings have returned for the eighth consecutive camp in Thibodaux, a yearly tradition that has been a great thing for the academy, for the thousands of young athletes who have gone through it and the for the local community, which shares in so much of the excitement the camp brings.
For the parents of serious high school athletes, the camp offers an excellent place where they can get some extra training over the summer right here close to home.
For even casual football fans, the camp brings to town a chance to see some of the best-known players around the nation.
At 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nicholls State will host the Wheaties Air-it-Out Iberia Bank QB Challenge, which will show off the talents of many of the college and professional quarterbacks who are taking part in the camp as instructors.
For Nicholls State, the benefits can be enormous.
The exposure to all these talented, young players — where they get a real chance to see the facilities at Nicholls and the communities that surround it — is priceless.
Then there is the financial significance. The hundreds of young athletes mean hundreds of family members, many of whom stay in and around Thibodaux and Houma, eating in local restaurants and checking out local attractions.
More than anything, though, it is a chance to celebrate real football skill in a family that has shown a true desire to use that skill to help younger athletes as well as the state that did so much to help them in their careers.
Welcome to everything the Manning Passing Academy means for our area, and welcome to the hundreds of youngsters for whom the camp can be an integral part of their athletic growth.
Enjoy your time here, and don't forget to come back next year!

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Coach Mike Munchak says veteran Matt Hasselbeck will be the starting quarterback Sunday when the Titans visit Minnesota.
Munchak says Jake Locker will not dress while his injured left shoulder continues to heal. Locker dislocated his non-throwing shoulder for the second time in four games when sacked in last week's 38-14 loss at Houston.
Munchak said Wednesday that Locker's shoulder has not improved over the past day and remains just as sore. The Titans (1-3) host Pittsburgh on Oct. 11, so they face a quick turnaround.
But the coach says whether Locker misses more than one start will depend on how quickly the quarterback recovers. Munchak says they will reassess how Locker is feeling before making a decision beyond Sunday.

Steven Thomas' attorney argues against imprisonment for his client
By Brian Hallenbeck
Publication: theday.com
Published 02/19/2014
Steven Thomas, the former Mashantucket Pequot treasurer convicted of stealing from the tribe that owns Foxwoods Resort Casino, had turned his life around long before the federal government began investigating the tribe, his attorney said this week in urging that Thomas be spared prison time.
Richard Reeve, in a court filing, said Thomas was "instrumental in changing the culture, priorities and direction of tribal government" and "had a great deal more to give" when theft charges forced him to resign from the tribal council.
Thomas, 39, is to be sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in New Haven. Elected to the tribal council in 2009, soon after the Mashantuckets' financial difficulties came to light, Thomas became treasurer in 2012. He stepped down last Oct. 2, a day before pleading guilty to embezzling $177,600 from the tribe — his 2007 salary as assistant director of the tribe's Department of Natural Resources Protection.
In exchange for his plea, the government dropped two other theft charges and agreed not to oppose Thomas' bid for a prison term shorter than the 12 to 18 months suggested under federal sentencing guidelines.
Thomas, in court, admitted he "intentionally" signed time cards on which he "overstated" the hours he worked.
In December, the tribe hired him for a position in human resources, according to the court filing.
At the time of Thomas' indictment in January 2013, the tribal chairman, Rodney Butler, objected to the prosecution, characterizing it as an attack on tribal sovereignty. Federal investigators had begun looking into corruption on the tribe's reservation in 2010.
"Finally, reasonable people can, have and will continue to respectfully disagree about the value and propriety of this prosecution," Reeve wrote this week. "… This case appears to be at or near the outer edge of permissible federal intervention in tribal affairs by the institution of criminal charges."
Reeve described the arc of Thomas' life as mirroring the rise and fall of the tribe itself. Born into poverty, Thomas' life "slowly transformed" after his family moved to the Mashantucket reservation in 1986. By the mid-1990s, Reeves wrote, the reservation was rapidly expanding and the tribe's newly opened casino "was in full swing."
Thomas, 19 and fresh out of high school, was hired by the tribe's Natural Resources Department at a starting salary of $45,000.
"That salary grew enormously over a short period of time, and was coupled later with the stipend provided to any tribal member who worked and/or attended school on a full-time basis," Reeves wrote. "Like the tribe, he made many mistakes, misspent much of the money he was paid and given, and over time developed a false sense of 'entitlement.' "
After defaulting on its long-term debt in 2009, the tribe undertook a massive financial restructuring that was concluded last year.
Thomas "worked tirelessly, honestly and wisely to assist the tribe in extricating itself from its precarious financial predicament," Reeve wrote. "He helped make many difficult decisions, and advocated, persuaded, pleaded with and convinced other tribal members that the belt-tightening, austerity measures the council was adopting were necessary to right the struggling tribal ship of state."
Thomas' older brother Michael also was indicted in January 2013 and was subsequently convicted by a jury of embezzling about $100,000 from the tribe while he was tribal chairman. He began serving an 18-month prison term last month at a federal facility in Massachusetts.

By STEVE ROTHWELL
AP Markets Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Investors stayed calm on the first day of a partial shutdown of the U.S. government Tuesday and sent the stock market modestly higher.
A long-running dispute in Washington over President Barack Obama's health care law caused a deadlock over the U.S. budget, forcing about 800,000 federal workers off the job and suspending all but essential services. With the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and Democratic-controlled Senate at a stalemate, it was unclear how long a temporary bill needed to finance government activities would be stalled.
Despite the political wrangling, investors didn't push the panic button. That suggests that, at least for now, they aren't anticipating that the stalemate would cause enough disruption in the economy to threaten a gradual U.S. recovery and a four-year bull run in the stock market.
"The trend of the economy appears to be in a positive direction," said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial Group. "Unless this really gets ugly, we think the markets should start to look ahead to what we believe should be better economic data over the next six to 12 months."
In the latest encouraging news on the economy, a private industry group reported Tuesday that U.S. manufacturing expanded at the fastest pace since April 2011 last month on stronger production and hiring.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 62 points, or 0.4 percent, to 15,191 as of 12:42 p.m. The S&P 500 index gained 13 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,694. The Nasdaq composite rose 39 points, or 1.1 percent, to 3,805.
The gains were led by health care and technology stocks.
Tech stocks were given a boost by Apple. The company's stock rose $10.87, or 2.3 percent, after billionaire investor Carl Icahn told CNBC about his dinner meeting with Apple's CEO Tim Cook. Icahn, who said he has invested $2 billion in the stock, is pushing for Apple to spend $150 billion buying back its own stock.
"I feel very strongly that this should be done," Icahn told CNBC. "It's a no-brainer."
The Standard & Poor's 500 index climbed to a record Sept. 18 after the Federal Reserve surprised investors and said that it would continue with its economic stimulus. The index has shed 2 percent since then, falling on seven out of eight days before the shutdown.
"We're not jumping in with both feet but we're selectively putting money to work," said Joseph Quinlan, chief market strategist for U.S. Trust Bank of America Private Wealth Management. "On the other side of the government shutdown, you've got continued support from the Fed and a global economy that's rebounding."
Many investors still don't foresee the budget fight spilling over into a dispute about raising the nation's borrowing limit. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew said last week that the government would run out of borrowing authority by roughly Oct. 17.
The last time the borrowing limit issue came up in August 2011, it led to Standard & Poor's downgrading the United States' credit rating. The Dow went through nearly three weeks of triple-digits moves almost daily.
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year note rose to 2.65 percent from 2.61 percent late Monday.
The price of oil fell $1, or 1 percent, to $101.32 a barrel. Gold fell $39, or 3 percent, to $1,287 an ounce.
The dollar fell against the euro and the Japanese yen.
Among stocks making big moves:
- Merck rose $1.09, or 2.2 percent, to $48.67 after the drugmaker said it plans to cut another 8,500 jobs as part of a plan to reduce its annual costs by about $2.5 billion by the end of 2015.
- Walgreen rose $2.46, or 4.6 percent, to $56.30 after the drugstore chain said its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings soared 86 percent after it booked gains from its method of inventory accounting and its acquisition of a stake in European health and beauty retailer Alliance Boots.
- Ford rose 38 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $17.25 after the automaker said that U.S. sales rose 6 percent in September, with strong car sales making up for slower sales of SUVs.

No. 22 Florida loses running back Matt Jones for season to knee injury
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – No. 22 Florida will be without running back Matt Jones for the remainder of the season.
Coach Will Muschamp says Jones had surgery Monday morning to repair torn meniscus in his left knee.
Jones injured his knee Saturday at LSU.
The sophomore carried 79 times for 339 yards and two touchdowns this season. He missed most of fall practice and the season opener while recovering from a viral infection. He had costly fumbles in each of his first two games, prompting Muschamp to open up the starting job. Jones responded with a 176-yard performance at Kentucky, essentially solidifying his spot atop the depth chart.
Now, the Gators will turn to senior Mack Brown, who leads the team with 340 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, and freshman Kelvin Taylor.

Jennie Garth is going goth! The 41-year-old actress looked nearly unrecognizable while making a surprise appearance on the runway at designer Aerin O'Connell's Intrepid by AOC show at Pier 59 Studios during Nolcha Fashion Week present by RUSK on Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Garth showed off her legs and strutted her stuff down the catwalk in a short gray-and-white striped dress with sheer white sleeves. The most shocking part of the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum's Fashion Week look, however, was her severe makeup. Garth's face was transformed with super-light face powder, heavy blush and eye makeup, and super-dark lipstick.
"Jennie closed the show as a surprise guest," an eyewitness tells Us Weekly. "She was confident and looked powerful coming down the runway and had two friends in the audience who were cheering loudly for her."
How did Garth feel about her runway walk?
"Totally foreign, not my world," she told Us after the show. The mother of three said she last modeled at The heart Truth Red Dress fashion show — raising awareness of heart disease in women — five years ago. "I felt nervous for the designer of this dress, I wanted to do well for her and have success for the line," Garth explained. "I just met her today and she's a really nice lady and I want her to do well."
As for her high-fashion makeup, Garth told Us, "I love the eyes and the slightly tousled hair."
Garth's stint as a New York Fashion Week model may be short-lived, however, as it sounds like she's ready to head back home to the west coast. After the show, Garth tweeted that she was "missing my girls" and "missing my man." As Us revealed last week, she is currently dating Michael Shimbo, the CEO of San Francisco-based company Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
When asked what she likes to do with Shimbo, Garth told Us, "It's a new thing, so we're really just dating. San Francisco is such a romantic city, so I just love walking around the fog covered streets and just being there is so romantic. I had never spent a lot of time there, but walking the streets, it's like being in a romantic movie."

Current Research: As the search and development for new antibiotics becomes a priority, plants have received more attention as a potential source for new treatments (Silva and Fernandes 2010). Humans have historically used plants in traditional medicine to treat a variety of infections (Gobalakrishnan et al. 2013). These treatments may be effective because of plants defense mechanism. As plants are exposed to pathogens, they defend themselves by producing and accumulating antimicrobial compounds within their tissues (Cowan 1999). Through careful selection, the antimicrobial phytochemicals within these plants can be extracted, analyzed for activity and characterized. During each stage, the stepwise progression from screening through fractionation must ensure that the active microbial is still retained within the sample. The continued use of bioassays like the agar disc diffusion assays will guide the collection of the antimicrobial fraction as well as identifying the active secondary metabolites with the plant.
Specific Aim 1: Selection and preliminary screening of plants
Specific Aim 2: Minimum inhibitory concentrations extract characterization
Specific Aim 3: Fractionation and characterization of active components

Rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has stunned fans by confessing he was a bed-wetter as a child.
The hitmaker, who is a spokesman for water brand AQUAhydrate, admits his love of sweet drink Kool-Aid growing up led to a number of embarrassing night time spills.
He tells U.S. talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, "One thing I want to say is, I grew up as a Kool-Aid kid. Never drank water. I used to pour a half a pound of sugar into the Kool-Aid. Besides it having me bouncing off the walls, I used to be a bed-wetter. OK, I guess I'm confessing that I used to be a bed-wetter.
"I went on this quest to stop wetting the bed, and the first day that I had a sleepover and I didn't wet the bed, it was, like, one of the greatest days of my life. It gave me the swagger that I have today, because I stopped wetting the bed."
And now he's hoping to convince other kids with bed-wetting problems to stick to water in a bid to stave off embarrassment.
He says, "There is something about sugar that makes you wet the bed. So, to all you boys and girls out there… I'm telling you to drink water, OK? It will stop you from wetting the bed, and you won't be embarrassed in front of the girls at sleepovers."

The film will chronicle the star's rise to fame and how she became one of the country's most iconic musicians for over three decades.
Bongani Fassie, her son, is set to be the co-executive producer of the film. Production will begin in February with shooting taking place in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The film will hit cinemas in 2019.
Fassie died on 9 May 2004 after she had slipped into a coma brought on by an asthma attack. The post mortem revealed that she had overdosed on cocaine on the night of her collapse in her house in Buccleuch. This caused her coma, and she stopped breathing resulting in brain damage from the lack of oxygen.
She was one of the SA artists who reached multi-platinum album status during and after apartheid.
She left an indelible mark on the hearts of her fans worldwide. Fans took to Twitter to speculate on who should play her in the film.

Huh? Did they get into Moka's past? That should be interesting
We might find out some secrets^^
And WAH?! Why does Moka's mother look exactly like outer Moka? 0_o
That's a bit random...
Oh older sister! I duno how to describe it but... she looks a bit creepy... no, not creepy... she just gives this weird feeling... Even dogs seems to be afraid of her.
Wonder what kind of character she has and how she looks now days. The second sister looks mostly the same.
Want to know what their relationships were with each other...

I cant read ANY Japanese, so until they're translated, I'm trying to avoid the CH29 raws as much as possible... too many unanswered questions.
Also Moka's mum may look very similar to her...because it's her mum
Remember Mizore and Kurumu's mums look pretty damned similar to thier kids as well, just older/grown up, the difference here is that I/O.Moka tends to appear more adult than the rest of the girls, and looks much more like a young adult, so whilst theres an obvious age difference between M+K's mums and them, there might not be so much of a visible difference with Moka and her mum, especially as vampires are virtually immortal, and they tend to stop 'aging' once they've hit adulthood.
Would seem a logical explanation as to any similarity in looks.

One reason why inner Moka has sharper eyes and white hair probably due to daddy starbucks, but overall Inner and Outer Moka do look alike and as seen in R+V manga and anime. Moms and daughters tend to be younger carbon copies of each other.

If O.Moka and Moka's mum look almost identical, I'd say it adds further fuel to the fire on the debate, on the side that O.Moka is actually just the less vampiric side of Moka's whole nature, whereas I.Moka is (or at least was, seeing as she seems to be becoming more like O.Moka slowly) the more vampiric side of her nature. With an upbringing that favoured strength and power as the only way to gain respect from her family (as seen in memories of Kokoa's childhood), it'd be quite easy for Moka to become hardened/more predatory due to her upbringing, even if the more human, compassionate side of her personality still existed, but was repressed or hidden because that was the only way to win acceptance.
This could also be paralleled with Tsukune nowadays, his eyes are much like O.Moka's when hes in 'everyday mode', when he kicks in to vampire hybrid mode suddenly his eyes go catlike, just like I.Moka's. Tsukune's hair also goes silver in this mode, so its possibly just a more vampiric trait rather than related to Moka's dad (who Im guessing is who everyone is refering to as Daddy Starbucks...guessing thats an american reference ).
Its likely if Moka's two personalities re-merge into a True Moka, she may retain appearance aspects of both, same with Tsukune when he learns to control his vampiric nature or hits a certain level of power.
(Cat eyes or vampiric fangs would certainly make him a little more accepted in the Youkai world haha, and he can wear contact lenses to hide it in the human world!)

Well about Tsukune and the changes he experiences after he goes into his vampire blood ... well I agree with what you said tyranuus, I think that the reason why Tsukune and Moka is related to the fact that Moka seems to be a little different compared to her other siblings. I mean it was basically said by Khaula that among her siblings ... Moka is considered a special pedigree, which could be the reason why she, and Tsukune - since he has Moka's vampire blood inside him, experience such drastic changes when they tap into their vampire power's.
Spoiler for Chapter 29:
Well about how the merged Moka and Tsukune ,after he learns how to control his power's will look like ... I think it's best to wait and see ... though personally I think they will look similar to how they look in their vampire form's.

Sounds like we agree on quite a bit now then, including how Moka and Tsukune are likely to look like later on although Im going to avoid peeking inside your spoiler!
Another thing that makes me think outer Moka is actually part of the true Moka's more repressed side of the personality is if you noticed that during the episode where Inner Moka spent the day 'on the outside', the others commented whilst spying on her that when she's not fighting/acting agressive, I.Moka is actually a surprisingly nice/kind person (again lending some credibility to the two personalities are part of one whole personality theory), they almost seem to have this whole Ying and Yang thing going on, where both are part of one whole, and although we dont see it so often, both possess factors we usually attribute to the other.
See: http://www.onemanga.com/Rosario-Vampire_II/26/15/
I think a lot of people missed the importance of that comment, considering the really 'outer' moment she had later on after Tsukune ate the pie, and then next chapters comment from Tsukune about how he wishes the two would become one.
You know Im almost surprised the mangaka hasn't had the idea of a halloween chapter back in the human world...if Tsukune and his friends were to visit during halloween, they could probably get away with blue murder around his parents, if they pretended they were in costume.
Well...unless something went wrong, and his family realised they weren't actually costumes. Would also be a SLIGHTLY easier way to break the news to his parents, turn up looking more vampiric with the hair, eyes and teeth, as though it was a costume, then drag his parents aside and speak to them/demonstrate before he is about to leave.
A Halloween chapter could be *brilliant*.

I think that the Inner Moka is the true/real self. Outside one is not the real one, but she does remind of the mother maybe, but is still not her true self, Inner Moka may eventually add the softer part similar to Outter Moka but as far as the true moka goes for me the true/real one is the Innner one rather than Outter one. Well maybe because I like the Inner Moka much more than outter one.

Hehe, I like them both so I wouldnt mind being proven wrong, but there does seem to be slowly mounting evidence towards the idea that they're actually both sides of the same person, rather than one being the fake, especially if O.Moka looks almost identical to the mother. Either way Im sure it'll be interesting finding out.
But come on Halloween chapter and family 'I'm not human any more reveal' chapter!

Two Magalia residents were arrested by the Butte County Sheriff's Office on Thursday after authorities allegedly discovered marijuana refining labs at properties in Concow and Magalia.
Rocio I. Buenrostro, 26, and Benjamin L. Pavan, 28, were taken into custody and are facing various marijuana-related charges, according to a press release from the Sheriff's Office.
As part of an ongoing investigation that started after a raid on Feb. 27 in Feather Falls, authorities served search warrants at residences on High Winds Road in Concow and in the 14700 block of Skyway in Magalia, according to the Sheriff's Office.
On Thursday, detectives from the Sheriff's Office Special Enforcement Unit and with the Butte Interagency Narcotics Task Force served the search warrant at the Concow property and allegedly located a butane honey oil marijuana refining lab, which included five extraction tubes, hot plates, vacuum pumps and vacuum chambers, and more than 200 empty butane cans and more than 80 full butane cans, the press release stated.
At the High Winds Road location, detectives also allegedly found two greenhouses with 162 marijuana plants and a motorcycle reportedly stolen out of Ventura County, according to the Sheriff's Office. The plants were reportedly destroyed. The motorcycle was taken to the Sheriff's Office to be returned to its owner.
After the raids, detectives arrested Pavan on suspicion of marijuana cultivation, possession of marijuana for sale, possession of concentrated cannabis, two counts of manufacturing a controlled substance, being armed in the commission of a felony, and maintaining a home where the manufacturing of honey oil and cultivation of marijuana was occurring, according to the press release. Buenrostro was arrested on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, possession of concentrated cannabis, and maintaining a home where the manufacturing of honey oil and cultivation of marijuana were occurring.
On Feb. 27, authorities had served a search warrant at a residence on the 2100 block of Lumpkin Road in Feather Falls and five individuals from Clear Lake and two from Mexico were arrested at the home, according to a Sheriff's Office press release.
During that search, SEU detectives found a fairly large lab for refining marijuana to make honey oil. The lab consisted of eight extraction tubes, more than 400 empty butane cans, 960 full cans of butane and 2.61 pounds of finished butane honey oil.
Detectives also seized 16.35 pounds of marijuana buds, 234.44 pounds of leaf and bud mix, 3.39 pounds of marijuana bud on stems and $18,398 in cash. They also found 166 growing marijuana plants in an adjacent outbuilding and a stolen firearm in the residence, the press release stated.
The people arrested at the residence were identified as Clear Lake residents Saul Cervantes, 28, David Cardenas, 52, Silvia Cardenas, 54, Zoila Valdovions-Torres, and James Franz, 34, and Mexico residents Claudea Cervantes, 18, and Dalen Cervantes, 20.
The suspects were booked into the Butte County jail on suspicion of possession of marijuana for sale, cultivation of marijuana, manufacturing a controlled substance and being armed in the commission of a felony.

Carnival says they are cancelling another 12 voyages for the disabled ship that is being towed to Alabama after an engine room fire left it powerless at sea.
The cruises aboard the Triumph were to take place from Feb. 21 through April 13. Those cancellations are in addition to two other cruises that were called off shortly after Sunday's fire.
The company says passengers will be fully refunded and get discounts on future cruises.
There are more than 4,000 people aboard the ship, which is expected to be towed into Mobile on Thursday.
The Triumph has had other mechanical problems recently that delayed a voyage in late January.
Passengers aboard the disabled vessel have reported dismal conditions. Carnival has disputed those claims.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Stroke Symptoms
If you have symptoms of a stroke, call 911 or other emergency services right away. Symptoms may include:
FAST is a simple way to remember the main symptoms of stroke. Recognizing these symptoms helps you know when to call for medical help.
FAST stands for:
A stroke usually happens suddenly but may occur over hours. For example, you may have mild weakness at first. Over time, you may not be able to move the arm and leg on one side of your body.
Symptoms of an ischemic stroke (caused by a blood clot) vary from one person to another. But symptoms usually occur in the side of the body opposite from the side of the brain where the clot occurred. For example, a stroke in the right side of the brain affects the left side of the body.
Symptoms of a stroke may be so minor that they are ignored or
go unnoticed. Some people have symptoms that go away after a short time. This could be caused by a transient ischemic attack, or TIA. A TIA is a warning sign that a stroke may soon follow.
The symptoms of a hemorrhagic stroke (caused by bleeding in the brain) are usually the same as those from a blood clot. But you also may have other symptoms, such as:
Hemorrhagic strokes usually occur during the daytime and during
physical activity. Symptoms of a hemorrhagic stroke usually begin very
suddenly (within seconds) and get worse over several hours.

Top Cars
10 Most Valuable Used Trucks
If you're looking for a pickup that will be worth big bucks in three years, you've come to the right place. We've compiled a list of 3-year-old used trucks that earned the highest cash offers from dealers using Autotrader.com -- a free service that gives you a quick cash offer for your used car. That's useful if you want a quick, easy way to sell your car. Just remember: These numbers are based on no-haggle trade-in prices, not retail values.
1. GMC Sierra HD Denali
It's no surprise that the GMC Sierra HD Denali tops our list of pickups with the highest Autotrader.com. The pickup is one of the most expensive pickups on the market, owing to its status as possibly the ultimate luxury truck. That's especially true of the monstrous 6.6-liter diesel model, which garnered top honors in our Trade-In Marketplace results with an average offer price of just over $39,000.

2. Ford F-250 King Ranch
The F-250 King Ranch may not offer the same panache as the Sierra Denali, but it certainly boasts impressive capabilities. That's all due to its enormous 6.7-liter diesel powertrain, which can pull just about anything thanks to its 677 lb-ft of torque. Autotrader.com offers on 3-year-old F-250 King Ranch models averaged around $37,500, making the pickup the second-most valuable used model on our list.

3. Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Edition
The Harley Davidson F-150 is a highly sought-after model for many reasons. Among them are a limited production run, unique and appealing badging and, most important, a luxurious look both inside and out. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the trucks are viewed as the ultimate accessory among Harley owners -- and those who wish they were Harley owners. Offer prices for 3-year-old models averaged around $36,600 through the Autotrader.com tool.

4. Ford F-250 Lariat
The luxurious F-250 Lariat slots just below the F-250 King Ranch in Ford's hierarchy of luxury trim levels -- so it only makes sense that the Lariat would fall just below the King Ranch on our list, as well. And that's precisely where it falls, with offer prices averaging around $36,300 for a 3-year-old model. In addition to strong used values, the Lariat benefits from a long list of high-end luxury features not normally found in a pickup, such as Ford's SYNC infotainment system, dual-zone climate control and supple leather upholstery.

5. Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD LTZ
The Silverado 3500HD LTZ has much in common with the Sierra Denali featured in the top spot on our list. But it doesn't boast the upscale Denali name -- or some of that truck's standard features -- which is why it takes the fifth slot with a trade-in value of $35,800. Nevertheless, the Silverado 3500HD LTZ is still a highly capable pickup with a long list of high-end, luxury-car-level amenities.

6. Ford F-350 King Ranch
The larger and more expensive F-350 King Ranch actually slots below its F-250 King Ranch sibling on our list of 3-year-old trucks with the highest trade-in value. It's hard to say exactly why, though we expect the answer has to do with usage and mileage: Many F-350 models are driven long distances and used for workhorse duty, so their condition may not be the same as the smaller F-250. Still, at $34,900, the F-350 King Ranch's trade-in value is a strong one.

7. Ford F-150 Lariat
The F-150 Lariat joins its F-150 Harley Davidson sibling as the only two light-duty pickups on our list of the 10 best 3-year-old trucks by trade-in value. But the inclusion of both models isn't surprising, considering their high sticker prices, desirable packaging and long list of standard equipment. Lariat shoppers are also unlikely to drive long distances or use their trucks for major workhorse duty, thus preserving the good condition. The F-150 Lariat's average trade-in offer was around $34,700.

8. Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD LTZ
Unlike Ford's F-Series Super Duty trucks, the Silverado Heavy Duty line enters our list as you might expect: first with the 3500 model, then with the smaller 2500. Like its 3500 sibling, the Silverado 2500HD is a sought-after pickup that mixes luxury with incredible capability -- and that's why the upscale LTZ model takes eighth place on our list with an average trade-in offer of $34,200.

9. Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn
Ram's pickups don't quite secure the trade-in offers of their domestic rivals, but that doesn't mean the Ram Laramie Longhorn is unwanted by dealers looking for trade-ins. On the contrary, the heavy-duty pickup still earned an average offer of $34,100 -- a strong figure undoubtedly bolstered by its 6.7-liter diesel V8 that offers best-in-class towing capacity.
10. Ram 3500 Laramie
Finishing just behind the Ram Laramie Longhorn is the Ram 3500 Laramie, a heavy-duty pickup that combines class-leading towing capacity with extravagant cabin luxuries. Meant to be a vehicle you can enjoy on the range and on a cruise through town, the average Autotrader.com offer on a Ram 3500 Laramie is around $34,000 -- just a shade behind the more upscale but less capable Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn.
What it means to you: Our list of the 10 most valuable 3-year-old used trucks outlines which models will command the highest prices when it comes time to upgrade to a newer model.

February/March 2001
Even very immune-suppressed people, if they are treatment-naive and have a drug-susceptible virus can, with time and diligence, hope to recover immune competency to a point where prophylactic medication may safely be stopped. And many people in the U.S. still discover their diagnosis at that late stage. But for an increasing number of individuals who have been on therapy long enough to have run the gamut of available drugs, constructing a treatment regimen when there are no good options increasingly starts to feel like a salvage operation.
Any occasion for a burst of viral replication while on antiretroviral therapy can lead to another, more worrisome, source of virological failure. Loss of susceptibility to antiretroviral therapy, also known as drug resistance, can occur whenever a viral mutation arises capable of replicating despite the presence of drugs. Since resistance allows replication and replication breeds resistance, there is a critical need to find new ways to fight viral strains that have become resistant to multiple HIV drugs. When an individual experiences immunological failure subsequent to loss of viral suppression, the need for a "salvage" strategy can become urgent lest clinical failure follow.
A more aggressive strategy, sometimes called "Mega-HAART," advocates piling on five, six, or more drugs, both approved and experimental, to beat the virus into submission. Usually, these intense regimens will include an agent to boost the blood levels of one of the other drugs.
Unfortunately, second and third regimens rarely work as well as the first one, and the toxicity of such intense drug regimens can become intolerable. Although "salvage patients" are often the most willing to attempt demanding regimens, they are also those least able to tolerate them.
A few novel strategies for addressing this problem are being tested. One approach proposes removing drug pressure with a structured treatment interruption in order to allow a switch in the dominant viral population from drug resistant to drug susceptible. This, in fact, can occur. But, unless a new drug from an untried class is added when treatment is restarted, attempts to suppress the shifted virus in a durable and sustained fashion using formerly used drugs have been disappointing.
Another concept already practiced by some clinicians, but not yet tested in a clinical trial, is to place patients with multi-drug resistant virus on a simple HAART regimen that suppresses wild-type virus at the expense of allowing a moderately unsuppressed MDR strain to survive. The theory here is that the MDR virus is less able to replicate and infect new cells than its ancestral "wild-type" strain. If this is true, then an individual would be better off with an unsuppressed amount of "crippled" virus. Studies have shown that "failing" drug regimens may continue to have significant antiviral activity that contributes to keeping MDR virus in check. This approach is also supported by observational reports that individuals who remain on "failing" regimens and receive careful medical management can have relatively few clinical problems.
Since none of the above are excellent options, there is an urgency for new drugs with unique resistance profiles to move through the development pipeline.
Since a single new drug added to failing background therapy will be the only active agent against the dominant viral strain, this situation is virtually the same as being treated with only one drug. Single drug therapy, or monotherapy, has long been recognized to give only temporary benefits. Although a single drug may provide a short-term reduction of viral load, viral replication can continue under monotherapy and viral mutations often arise that soon render the new drug useless. Adding one drug at a time has led many patients down a path of serial monotherapy, eking out a small benefit from each new agent before giving in to resistance. Patients who have been on multiple drug regimens over the years may have developed resistance to virtually every drug in every class. Many of these individuals find themselves chronically looking to the next new drug in the pipeline for hope.
One way to proceed would be to hold off switching regimens until two novel agents are available, then start them both at the same time. But because the drug development process is so sluggish, at any time there might be one new drug available through an expanded access program with another expected to come to market "any day." So constructing an optimum regimen when all else is failing requires patience and a steady flow of new drugs.
Another possibility for some is to get access to new drugs through a clinical trial. But what kind of trial design can provide an optimized regimen to every participant? The risks of serial monotherapy have also been recognized in the research setting. If a clinical trial is comparing one new drug to placebo -- each on top of an optimized background regimen -- then individuals on the treatment arm may experience temporarily lowered virus levels, but at the price of becoming resistant to the new drug. Those on the placebo arm may have unchanged viral levels yet retain susceptibility to the new drug for future use. Who's better off?
The problems of designing trials for "salvage therapy" reflect the problems of constructing regimens for multiple treatment experienced individuals. One solution is to offer more than one experimental drug to everyone in the trial.
In January 2001, the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) convened a meeting of researchers, drug sponsors and community members to discuss the problems of developing drug trials for "salvage" populations. In sponsoring the meeting, the FDA was signaling their acknowledgment that data from trials leading to the approval of new drugs conducted in exclusively drug-naive populations are no longer as compelling as they once were and that trials with treatment-experienced individuals are not only acceptable for registration but are welcome.
Information from controlled trials about the use of drugs for heavily treatment-experienced patients would be extremely valuable to have. But for the pharmaceutical manufacturers, these studies pose difficult problems and hold significant risks. The rate of adverse events in "salvage" trials are likely to be relatively high since the participants have advanced disease and may be clinically less stable -- and a high rate of adverse events can make a drug look bad. For the same reason, drugs in these trials are also unlikely to show comparable efficacy to that seen in a treatment-naive population. Yet with sixteen antiretroviral drugs on the market, individuals with MDR virus are those most in need of new options.
In 1999, the FDA removed one obstacle to these trials by declaring that multiple investigational agents in a trial may be acceptable. In the past it had been presumed that more than one experimental drug would "muddy the waters" to such an extent that the FDA would reject any data from such a trial. The change was a big step forward, yet old beliefs lingered and some in the industry were slow to accept the shift in policy.
But allowing two experimental drugs in a study doesn't eliminate all problems. Imagine a situation where all participants in a trial receive optimized background therapy that includes one previously untried or experimental drug. Add to this either the study drug or a placebo. Those on the treatment arm may benefit from substantial viral suppression because they are getting two new drugs, but those on the placebo arm risk developing resistance to the single new drug in the background regimen.
One way past the "virtual monotherapy" problem is to offer every participant two experimental drugs in the background regimen, then randomize the third between placebo and the experimental drug the manufacturer is trying to have approved. This means that every participant will receive at least two new drugs with novel resistance profiles -- the minimum thought necessary to sustain suppression of MDR virus for more than a few months -- and some will receive three.
The complications are daunting. Interactions between HIV drugs are common and one drug may unexpectedly affect the blood levels of another. The source of common adverse events may be difficult to attribute to a particular experimental drug. Worse, an unforeseen serious toxicity might emerge that permanently taints every drug in the complicated combination.
Even with a green light from the FDA, the problem of gaining cooperation between multiple manufacturers remains. An experimental drug can only be provided by its manufacturer; it can't simply be purchased. This means that the sponsors of each experimental, but non-study drug, must agree to participate in the trial and supply their agents for free. So far it hasn't happened. Given the incentives for pharmaceutical developers to keep a tight rein on how their drug candidates are used, and the risks inherent in developing drugs in the MDR population, the barriers to launching optimal "salvage" trial designs are steep.
This is an expedient plan for rapidly bringing drugs to market and a plan favored by drug company representatives at the FDA meeting. Yet the risk of developing resistance during the short period of monotherapy worries community critics like Carlton Hogan of the Coalition for Salvage Therapy (CST). The CST has pressed for minimizing reliance on these studies, asking that periods of monotherapy be kept as short as possible.
One point was affirmed by all sides at the FDA meeting: Those in need of "deep salvage," -- those with absolutely no other options -- should not have to depend on clinical trials to get drugs. Compassionate use programs and expanded access should be widened to ensure that no one is left without hope of rescue.

Steinberg Reality Tour Masterclass in Liverpool - WED 19th Aug!
Don't forget - come to the Leaf Cafe in Liverpool this Wednesday, 19th August, for the Steinberg Reality Tour Masterclass! In the second of a series of masterclasses, the UK team will once again visit music stores across the UK. Enjoy the finest teas available in Liverpool and find out how computer software can faithfully reproduce acoustic sound ranging from real vocals to full orchestral arrangements!
For the first time, we have teamed up with Australian microphone manufacturer Rode in order to demonstrate how choosing the correct microphone and placement can bring about dramatic differences in sonic characteristics when recording live vocals, acoustic guitar and other instruments such as violin. Also under discussion will be the use of microphone pre-amps and application of effects such as compression and EQ.
This event will also feature the UK-wide launch of The Grand 3 — our incredible, new grand, upright and electronic piano virtual instrument. We'll be demonstrating how to ensure that your piano sounds sit comfortably in the mix and, as The Grand 3 is one of only a handful of surround-capable virtual instruments, we will also be discussing the capabilities when mixing in surround.
The latest release of HALion Symphonic Orchestra will be providing an orchestral accompaniment to this event and we will be demonstrating how this amazing virtual instrument can be used in any musical genre rather than simply for orchestral works.
With the release of Cubase 5 and Cubase Studio 5 earlier this year, we saw the addition of a brand-new MIDI insert — Beat Designer — and we will be showing how this great tool can be used to provide a means of getting the very best from third-party acoustic drum virtual instruments such as BFD and Superior Drummer.
So, these masterclasses are all about creating and recording music featuring real instruments and their software counterparts. What's more is that many of the techniques under discussion can also apply to other software titles — there really is something for everybody!
As ever, the Steinberg UK team will be on-hand to answer any questions you may have and to provide a wealth of tips and tricks on the use of our software and hardware products.
