MADRID, Spain — Authorities lowered the death toll from the Madrid bombings to 190 from 202 on Tuesday, and news reports said Spanish police warned European intelligence services that some suspects in the attacks may have fled.
In lowering the toll from the March 11 commuter train attacks, Interior Ministry spokesman Ricardo Ibanez cited errors in identifying the bodies of victims.
Police and forensics experts discovered that body parts in 13 bags originally thought to belong to unidentified corpses were later determined to be those of people already included in the death toll or of survivors who lost limbs, Ibanez said.
Of the 190 dead, 47 were foreigners, the Madrid Health department said. Thirteen of the victims died in hospitals of their wounds.
The death toll of 190 put the Madrid attack behind that of the October 2002 nightclub bombings in Bali, Indonesia, which killed 202. Bali was the deadliest terrorist strike since the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States killed nearly 3,000 people.
The head of Madrid's Forensic Institute, Carmen Baladia, also said there was no scientific evidence to confirm that any of the dead was a suicide bomber.
Manhunt widens
The daily El Mundo said Spanish intelligence officials Monday gave colleagues from Britain, France, Germany and Italy a list of people they believe may have carried out the attacks but suspect may have fled Spain.
Police plan to issue international arrest orders for the suspects soon, the daily ABC reported.
Suspicion over the bombings has focused on an alleged Morocco-based terrorist cell believed to have links to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network and on al-Qaida itself.
Early Tuesday, a judge filed charges against four more suspects, bringing to nine the number charged and jailed pending further investigation. Six of those are Moroccan.
Judge Juan del Olmo charged three Moroccans and a Spaniard with terrorism and mass killings for their alleged participation in the bombings. A fifth suspect, a Moroccan arrested with the others March 18, was released without charges.
The nine who have been charged denied involvement in the attacks. They are being held in solitary confinement without access to family or lawyers.
On Tuesday, one left the courtroom in tears and another said he learned of the attacks on the morning of March 11 while watching cartoons with his children at home, court officials said.
The charges stop short of a formal indictment, but suggest the court has strong evidence against them. They can remain jailed for two years while investigators gather more evidence.
Police arrested four others Monday, all believed to be of North African origin, but these have yet to appear before a judge.
Spaniard's role with explosives
Jose Emilio Suarez, a Spaniard accused of providing explosives for the attacks, was charged with 190 counts of murder, 1,430 counts of attempted murder, robbery and collaborating or belonging to a terrorist organization.
Court officials said the latter charge will be specified further as the investigation continues.
The judge has clamped a secrecy order on the investigation.
Suarez admitted having supplied the explosives and detonators but told the judge he did not know they were destined to be used in a terrorist attack, the daily El Mundo said.
ABC said he was paid $8,600 and a quantity of hashish for providing 242 pounds of dynamite and detonators.
Police were said to be investigating 50 mines in northern Spain to see if any had reported thefts.
Of the nine charged so far, five have been charged with mass murder and belonging to a terrorist group and four have been charged with collaborating.
Moroccan Abderrahim Zbakh, who cried as he left the courtroom, was charged with the same offenses as Suarez, except robbery, officials said.
Mohamed El Hadi Chedadi and Abdelouahid Berrak, also Moroccans, were charged with collaborating with or belonging to a terrorist organization.
Berrak said he knows lead suspect Jamal Zougam because they own a barber shop together. Berrak also said he was an acquaintance of Imad Yarkas, the accused leader of an alleged Spanish al-Qaida cell who was arrested in Madrid in November 2001.
News reports only identified one of the four arrested Monday — Moroccan Khaled Oulad Akcha, the brother of Farid Oulad Ali who was freed after questioning by the judge.
Oulad Akcha had been in prison on separate charges since 2001.
Zougam and two other Moroccans have also been jailed on multiple counts of murder, while two Indians have been jailed on charges of collaborating with a terrorist group.
Powell, others to attend service
A state funeral for the bombing victims will be held Wednesday at Madrid's Almudena cathedral. Secretary of State Colin Powell, French President Jacques Chirac, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Britain's Prince Charles and dozens of other dignitaries are expected.
As part of the security measures, police will put a cordon around the capital, controlling access and taking precautions for the arrivals and departures of dignitaries' planes at Madrid's airport and at the Torrejon de Ardoz military base, said spokesman Francisco Javier Ansuategui.
Acting Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar has given Secretary of State for Security Ignacio Astarloa the authority to shoot down any threatening aircraft if all other attempts to stop it fail.

Addicks and Pools in stalemate
Charlton and Hartlepool both hit the crossbar as they closed out disappointing seasons with a goalless draw at The Valley.
Last Updated: 07/05/11 6:17pm
Charlton and Hartlepool both hit the crossbar as they closed out disappointing seasons with a goalless draw at The Valley.
The hosts should have gone in front in the seventh minute after Miguel Llera's pass put Bradley Wright-Phillips through.
The Addicks striker cleverly chipped Hartlepool goalkeeper Scott Flinders only to see his shot hit the woodwork.
Charlton debutant Callum Harriott volleyed just wide of the target, while Flinders did well to gather Llera's free-kick as the home side made a bright start, but the Addicks were unable to build on their early momentum and were forced to go in level at the interval after a scrappy end to the first half.
Flinders produced a fine stop within a minute of the restart, tipping over Wright-Phillips' 25 yard effort, but Hartlepool came close in the 54th minute as Sam Collins' stinging shot beat Rob Elliot and crashed against the crossbar, while Andy Monkhouse's shot was cleared off the goalline by Llera.
Charlton's Federico Bessone also hit the crossbar with a powerful shot from just inside the penalty area in the 79th minute, but that was as good as it got in a disappointing end of season finale.

Never mind that we don't know how much a Nintendo 3DS game costs to buy, developers need to develop the games first. And that costs money.
According to Harvest Moon publisher Marvelous Entertainment, Nintendo 3DS games cost — depending on the title — between ¥70,000,000 (US$838,976) at minimum and ¥100,005,000 ($1,198,598) at max. These, of course, are projections Marvelous made, and actually 3DS development costs are expected to vary by title and studio.
Earlier this year, Marvelous Entertainment stated it would not be developing original games for the time being, but is focusing on established series.
The company's estimates are bound to drop over time as developers get better at making 3DS games and are lower than the average PS3 or Xbox 360 retail titles, but higher than the ¥40,000,000 ($479,415) for high-end Nintendo DS development costs. Nintendo 3DS titles also require bigger teams and more time than DS games. Those better graphics don't come from thin air!

Studying corn, understanding its nutrient and water needs, and taking a timely approach to agronomic practices builds crop yields, says this south-Georgia farmer.
In Randy Dowdy's experience, good soil is not a prerequisite to growing outstanding corn yields. Instead, a time-sensitive systems approach to growing corn is what makes consistently high yields possible, says the Valdosta, Ga., corn grower and yield champion.
Dowdy knows what he's talking about. Despite having soils he describes as mediocre – with organic matter of less than 1% and a caution exchange (CEC) of 8 or less, which is poor (CEC is a measurement of how well soils hold onto nutrients) – Dowdy consistently averages irrigated corn yields in the high 200s to mid-300s.
Georgia farmer Randy Dowdy placed first in Georgia and second nationally in the 2011 NCGA yield contest in two categories with yields of 352 bushels and 364 bushels per acre, respectively.
He placed first in Georgia and second nationally in the 2011 NCGA yield contest in two categories with yields of 352 bushels and 364 bushels per acre, respectively. He also won the 2010 state yield contest and the National Corn Growers' Yield contest for Georgia, in the irrigated division, with 279 bushels per acre.
This year, because of too much rainfall, excessive cloudy days, and chemical stress his overall field averages varied as much as 150 bushels. Even so, Dowdy looks forward to hearing the results of the NCGA 2012 yield contest as he has entries as high as 374 bushel per acre.
The interesting thing about those wins and Dowdy's subsequent bin-busting yields in the last three years, is that he is a farming newcomer. He started growing corn only six years ago after buying some land no one else wanted to farm and that he describes as "so eroded you could hide a truck in the washes."
Faced with that handicap, Dowdy decided early on to focus his attention on two things: corn plant physiology—how corn grows and develops—and, secondly, on best management practices that would support corn development at each growth stage. Dowdy will tell you those two factors, along with his faith, formed a solid foundation for his success.
"That and the fact that I'm real competitive with myself," he says, with a laugh.
While Dowdy enjoyed winning the yield contests, he is quick to say that producing profitable high yields is the most important endeavor.
"I'm not just trying to win yield contests but to be as efficient as possible and get the best return on investment I can," he says.
Here is a summary of what Dowdy considers as some of his best management practices:
Evaluate corn plant health and determine what practices will foster vigorous growth and remove plant stress at every growth stage. A self-described student of corn, Dowdy walks his cornfields three or four times a week to evaluate the crop. He also takes tissue samples every week to 10 days during the growing season to determine whether the plants will benefit from additional nutrients. He has determined his crop requires "spoon feeding" of nitrogen and sulfur about every seven to 10 days to fuel its growth. He accomplishes this via fertigation, the practice of using irrigation to apply fertilizer.
"If I find a nutrient deficiency, I address it," he reports, adding, for example: "The key to maximize corn production is to be a step ahead of removing plant stress."
Once the reproductive determination phase is complete corn yield loss is irrevocable. Dowdy points out that plant stress occurs in various forms, which include plant population and spacing, compaction, the lack of weed control, chemical stress, disease pressure, temperature, moisture stress and nutrient deficiencies.
"Any one of these stressors can and will reduce kernel and ear count where yield is ultimately determined," Dowdy says "I know what my yield goals are and realize that I have just begun to understand what actions must be proactively addressed to accomplish those yields."
Timeliness is paramount to success. Dowdy is mindful that while every bag of premium quality seed corn has the potential to produce up to 600 bushels per acre, management and Mother Nature determine final yield outcomes. Because farmers can't control the latter, Dowdy believes they must be masters of the former from the time they plant until they harvest. In the process, every management practice must be made in a time-sensitive manner that captures the yield potential.
Notes Dowdy: "Many growers, chemical and fertilizer sales people have said they can increase yield by the use of certain products. I believe one doesn't increase yield but rather they preserve or capture the yield potential that already exists."
"Every time you're late you pay a penalty—you cost yourself yield," he stresses. "Know what the crop is doing or going to do next, and stay a step ahead of it."
Don't delay harvest. Dowdy plants starting the first week of March and begins harvest about the third week of July, once corn reaches a moisture level of 25%. His goal is to complete harvest by the time the crop reaches 21% moisture. "One reason for that is because I always attempt to double crop; this year, I grew soybeans behind my corn," he explains.
The second reason he harvests with high moisture is because he doesn't want to chance that the mature crop will fall victim to strong winds or a harsh thunderstorm.
"I try to mitigate my risks by spending a little money on propane and paying the penalty to dry it," he reports.
Think and behave outside the box. Talk with and ask questions of other successful farmers, university Extension specialists and company representatives, advises Dowdy. Try some of their suggestions and ideas. Those that work, adopt on your farm; those that don't, simply set aside.
"Just because you've always done something a certain way doesn't mean it's the best way; there's always room for improvement," he says.
In 2012, Dowdy had the privilege of working with a group of growers that were willing to test his approach to growing corn. Each grower implemented a number of Dowdy's production practices, which he has detailed in the form of a production guide.
"It is very humbling and fulfilling when a colleague replicates your production methods and in return achieves yields unlike any year prior," he says.
For 2013, Dowdy will continue to experiment with plant populations and different tillage practices.
"The limiting factor with a twin row system is proper subsoil fracture," he contends. "I feel you need to have the ability to subsoil underneath each row."
By improving his subsoil fracture, he hopes to reduce compaction, or horizontal layers, which impede corn root growth.
High plant populations provide another contribution to high yields. This year, Dowdy tested plant populations from 32,000 up to 52,000 per acre. Most of his corn crop, which includes 13 different hybrids, is planted at populations between 36,000 and 42,000.
Pay it forward. Dowdy credits God for his ability to grow corn as well as those individuals who have helped him along the way. "God has blessed me, no doubt about it," he notes. "I want to share what I know with other farmers, and I hope they'll then help someone else as well."

Summer is officially 1/3 over. WAAAAAH!
I wanted an easy way to keep track of the disposable cups during our big holiday shin-dig. I've embarrassed my kids in the past by running around with a marker writing everyone's name on their cup. Now it'll be easy to remember which cup is mine. Whipping the plain Jane cups into a Martha creation was just an added bonus!
Of course, I had to share!
There are six sheets (that's 30 different labels). I hope to crank out another 30...I have no idea how many friends my kids have invited. Reality will sink in in another day or two and I'll probably just print duplicate labels and hope that the George Washington's don't put their drinks down next to each other!
All you need to do is download the .jpg file to your computer. Print the file to a sticker sheet. I used a standard shipping label (2 across, 3 down). I left a bit of white space around each design to make sure it would fit a variety of sticker sizes.
Print and stick. It's THAT EASY!
And finally, File 5:There you have it. 30 faces that are worth remembering!

64-bit FAQ
zh-CN:Arch64 FAQ Below is a list of frequently asked questions about Arch Linux on 64-bit.
- 1 How do I determine if my processor is x86_64 compatible?
- 2 Should I use the 32 or 64 bit version of Arch?
- 3 How can I install Arch64?
- 4 How complete is the port?
- 5 Will I have all the packages from my 32-bit Arch I am used to?
- 6 Why 64-bit?
- 7 How can I file bugs?
- 8 What repositories should I set up for pacman to use?
- 9 How can I patch existing PKGBUILDs for use with Arch64?
- 10 What will I miss in Arch64?
- 11 Can I run 32-bit apps inside Arch64?
- 12 Can I build 32-bit packages for i686 inside Arch64?
- 13 Can I upgrade/switch my system from i686 to x86_64 without reinstalling?
How do I determine if my processor is x86_64 compatible?
Linux users
Run the following command:
$ less /proc/cpuinfo
Look for the
flags entry. If you see the
lm flag then your processor is x86_64 compatible.
Or you can run this command:
$ grep -q "^flags.*\blm\b" /proc/cpuinfo && echo "x86_64" || echo "not x86_64"
Windows users
Using the freeware CPU-Z you can determine whether your CPU is 64-bit compatible. CPUs with AMD's instruction set "AMD64" or Intel's solution "EM64T" should be compatible with the x86_64 releases and binary packages.
Should I use the 32 or 64 bit version of Arch?
If your processor is x86_64 compatible, you should use Arch64.
How can I install Arch64?
Just use our official installation ISO CD.
How complete is the port?
The port is ready for daily use in a desktop or server environment.
Will I have all the packages from my 32-bit Arch I am used to?
The repositories are ported and pretty much everything should work as expected.
Rarely, an old package in the AUR will only have
'i686' listed, but typically they work for 64-bit too. Just try adding
Why 64-bit?
It is faster under most circumstances and as an added bonus also inherently more secure due to the nature of Address space layout randomization (ASLR) in combination with Position-independent code (PIC) and the NX Bit which is not available in the stock i686 kernel due to disabled PAE. If your computer is running 4 GB or more of usable RAM, 64-bit should be strongly considered as any additional RAM cannot be allocated by a 32-bit OS.
Programmers also increasingly tend to care less about 32-bit ("legacy") as "new" x86 CPUs typically support the 64-bit extensions.
There are many more reasons we could list here to tell you to avoid 32-bit, but between the kernel, userspace and individual programs it is simply not viable to list every last thing that 64-bit does much better these days.
For further details watch our differences reports. There you will find a list comparing 32-/64-bit package versions.
How can I file bugs?
Simply use Arch's Flyspray but select x86_64 in the Architecture field if you think it is a port-related problem!
What repositories should I set up for pacman to use?
All repositories are supported for the port.
How can I patch existing PKGBUILDs for use with Arch64?
Add the following variable to all ported packages:
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
Add small patches directly to the sources and md5sums area but use for complete different sources:
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && source=(${source[@]} 'other source') [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && md5sums=(${md5sums[@]} 'other md5sum')
For any small fix use this in the build area:
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && (patch -Np0 -i ../foo_x86_64.patch)
Or when you need more changes:
if [ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then configure/patch/sed # for x86_64 else configure/patch/sed # for i686 fi
What will I miss in Arch64?
Nothing, really. Almost all applications support 64-bit by now or are in the transition to become 64-bit compatible.
The biggest problem are packages that are either closed source or contain x86-specific assembly that is cumbersome to port to 64-bit (typical for emulators).
These applications were previously problematic but are now available in the AUR and work fine:
- Acrobat Reader is not available in 64-bit, but you can run the 32-bit version in compatibility mode. There are also many other open source alternatives that can be used to read PDF files.
Everything else should work perfectly fine. If you miss any Arch32 package in our port and you know that it will compile on x86_64 (perhaps you have found it as native packages in another 64-bit distribution), just contact the developers or request a new package in the forums.
Can I run 32-bit apps inside Arch64?
- You can install
lib32-*libraries from the [multilib] repository. To use this repository, you should add the following lines to your
[multilib] SigLevel = PackageRequired Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
At this time (December 2011), [multilib] contains wine and Skype. Furthermore, a multilib compiler is available.
- Or you can create another chroot with 32-bit system (refer to Arch64 Install bundled 32bit system):
Boot into Arch64, startx, open a terminal.
$ xhost +local: $ su # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/arch32 # mount --bind /proc /mnt/arch32/proc # chroot /mnt/arch32 # su your32bitusername $ /usr/bin/command-you want # or eg: /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox
Some 32-bit apps (like OpenOffice) may require additional bindings. The following lines can be placed in
/etc/rc.local to ensure you get all you need for the 32-bit apps (assuming
/mnt/arch32 is mounted in
mount --bind /dev /mnt/arch32/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/arch32/dev/pts mount --bind /dev/shm /mnt/arch32/dev/shm mount --bind /proc /mnt/arch32/proc mount --bind /proc/bus/usb /mnt/arch32/proc/bus/usb mount --bind /sys /mnt/arch32/sys mount --bind /tmp /mnt/arch32/tmp #comment the following line if you do not use the same home folder mount --bind /home /mnt/arch32/home
You can then type in a terminal:
$ xhost +localhost $ sudo chroot /mnt/arch32 su your32bitusername /opt/openoffice/program/soffice
Can I build 32-bit packages for i686 inside Arch64?
Yes. You can either use
- the multilib versions of the relevant packages from the [multilib] repository or
- an i686 chroot.
Multilib repository
To use the [multilib] repository, edit your
/etc/pacman.conf and uncomment following lines:
[multilib] SigLevel = PackageRequired Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
upgrade your system with
pacman -Syu and install the gcc-multilib package.
- If the system has the
base-develpackage group installed, users must replace the [extra] versions with the [mutlilib] versions as shown below.
- gcc-multilib is capable of building 32-bit and 64-bit code. You can safely install
multilib-develto replace the packages shown below, but you still need
base-develfor the other packages it includes. See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102828 for more information.

Compiling packages on x86_64 for i686 is as easy as adding the following lines to an alternate configuration file (e.g.
CARCH="i686" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-m32 -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
and invoking makepkg via the following
$ linux32 makepkg -src --config ~/.makepkg.i686.conf
To use an i686 chroot (installation with i686 ISO "quickinstall" is recommended for the quick way to install it inside Arch64 or see Arch64 Install bundled 32bit system), install "linux32" wrapper pkg from current to make the chroot behave like a real i686 system. Then use this script to login into the chroot environment as root:
#!/bin/bash mount --bind /dev /path-to-your-chroot/dev mount --bind /dev/pts /path-to-your-chroot/dev/pts mount --bind /dev/shm /path-to-your-chroot/dev/shm mount -t proc none /path-to-your-chroot/proc mount -t sysfs none /path-to-your-chroot/sys linux32 chroot /path-to-your-chroot
If you keep the sources on the x86_64 host system, you can add
"mount --bind /path-to-your-stored-sources /path-to-your-chroot/path-to-your-stored-sources"
to share sources from host to chroot system for pkg building used in
Can I upgrade/switch my system from i686 to x86_64 without reinstalling?
No. However a forum thread has been created here which outlines steps taken to successfully migrate an install from 32 to 64 bit without losing any configs/settings/data. Note: A large external hard drive was used for the transfer.
However, you can also start the system with the Arch64 installation CD, mount the disk, backup anything you may want to keep that is not a 32-bit binary (e.g:
/home &
/etc), and install.

When humans die, they make a will
To leave their homes and all they have
To those they love.
I, too, would make a will if I could write.
To some poor wistful lonely stray
I leave my happy home,
My dish, my cosy bed, my cushioned chair, my toy,
The well loved lap, the gently stroking hand,
The loving voice,
The place I made in someone's heart,
The love, that at the last could help me to
A peaceful painless end
Held in loving arms.
If I should die Oh do not say,
"No more a pet I'll have
To grieve me by its loss"
Seek out some lonely, unloved dog
And give my place to him.
This is my legacy I leave behind
'Tis all I have to give.

Didn't see that one coming did you?
According to the Fox News chairman, that's how the payroll math adds up inside Fox News: The channel has just "one" conservative opinion host on the air, but employs 24 liberal contributors.
Ailes made the head-scratching pronouncement during two recent campus lectures. The first came at the University of North Carolina [emphasis added]:
Well, first, I separate out news from programming. If you're talking about programming, we noticed that all the talk shows on the other networks basically had progressive or liberal talk show hosts. We have one conservative on FOX News, Sean Hannity. Quite open about it, that's what he is, that's what he does, that's his framework, that's where he comes from. Others tend to be libertarians or populists or you can't really tell.
Last week, according to reports from Ailes' lecture at Ohio University, the Fox chairman boasted about the array of progressives he employs:
Ailes defended his network, saying he was not politically biased compared with competitors MSNBC and CNN. Ailes said he employs 24 "liberals," which distinguishes him from those networks who feature fewer dissenting opinions.
You see the point Ailes is pushing? It's that contrary to Fox's carping critics, the cable channel actually is a bastion of liberal opinion makers and viewers have to look hard to find the one conservative host.
For the record then, according to Ailes none of these Fox News opinioin hosts are "conservative":
Eric Bolling (compares Obama to drug dealer)
Steve Doocy (calls Rick Santorum "Mr. Spectacular")
Brian Kilmeade (asks why Obama is "so determined to bring us down")
Gretchen Carlson (announces voters "love love love" Herman Cain's tax plan)
Andrea Tantaros (former Republican aide; says "thank God" Tea Party members in Congress are "driving a lot of the policy in Washington")
Neil Cavuto (says Robert Reich is a "sanctimonious twit" for suggesting the rich should pay more in taxes)
Dana Perino (former Bush White House press secretary; claims Obama administration doesn't "really want any success" on the economy)
Bill O'Reilly (calls Senator Al Franken "a despicable gutter snipe")

DAY3 of the current mafia game; Evil v Good... Estimated time left is a few days!New game starting after current one finishes...Sign up for it now!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
The only people that would find the post credible are mafia as they know he highly suspected his fellow townies and only a mafia member would play on that as much as possible, knowing full well that his thoughts were nothing more than speculation.
Sorry guys - last few days of a job here and have been pretty busy.Good to see that we got one of the mafia, but rather unfortunate we lost the doctor Like Steven, I suspect we only have 2-3 mafia left. I think Dickens 'estimate' of 5 original mafia is too high.There's something about the rest of his posts that seems suspect to me.. but I can't quite put my finger on it.Vote Dickens Cider
Well hello all my friends!I have not gone missingI am not making excuses why I haven't posted.I have been on dailyI chose not to vote as I have been seeing observing who's been frantically posting daily to have the slim chance of been saved!And to be honest there a few more sus people now who are desperate to get to the next day.I don't need to post everyday as I'm a townie, but a mafia its a great way to get to the next day!WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, IM BACK HAHAHAHAHhh
Yes.... but what are your thoughts on the game
Why do you wanna know Mafia.
Dickens Cider.. here you clearly state that happy highly suspected his fellow townies.. he only mentioned a number of players as his "60%+" mafia scale. As you yourself said.. .ONLY MAFIA WOULD KNOW THAT.. yet you come out here and says that as it is truth. You've slipped up.. now you're trying to deflect to the non posters and call my attempts to shed light on this slip up as 'lame'.. no sir. you've made a right mess of things here.. and you deserve to be lynched for it
Tbh by not saying anything I think your putting yourself in the firing line more than the people making plenty of posts. You say there are a few sus people, care to share your thoughts? Why keep that to yourself otherwise, how does that benefit the town?

This weekend Taylor had her 3rd 6th birthday celebration. I don't know how birthdays have gotten to be so spread out in this household, but it just happens that way when you have family all over the east coast. It just so happens that we very often visit family right around both girls' birthdays so we celebrate the birthday multiple times. I don't always have big birthday parties, but this year I told the girls they could both have a party. I like to have them at our house and I like to do the food, but I am open to having someone come in to entertain or do a special event with the kiddos. So Taylor wanted to have a painting party and my friend Karen did her thing and we had 15 girls with easels in my kitchen painting Rapunzels. They did a great job and had a great time. It got a little bit crazy after they were done painting but at least no one got hurt:-).
Here is a picture of part of the class and Karen up front painting her Rapunzel. I didn't ask any of the parent's if I could post the kids pics so I think this one is fuzzy enough that we should be ok…plus I shot it from behind so we really don't see anyone's face.
Here is a shot of the cupcakes and the table with all of the food. Notice the strawberries that are on the table…that is a recipe I will post another day – loved them…strawberries stuffed with a cream cheese mixture…yum.
This picture was taken during Hurricane Irene rolling through our area. We didn't get hit too hard and it sure looks sunny out, but the weather was really pretty nasty out. As you can sort of see all of the furniture has missing pillows….It's somewhat ironic because Taylor was born right when Katrina was ripping through Louisiana so I thought it was pretty interesting that Irene was going to hit right at the time of her party.
This is the cupcake stand I bought at a garage sale a few weeks ago for a dollar…not too shabby, huh? There are Funfetti and Chocolate Buttermilk cupcakes on the stand – each with a Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. I made the mistake of saying off the bat "Who wants a Funfetti cupcake?" and every single child raised her hand….then I said – OK, but who wants chocolate and that split the group up a bit. I will post the chocolate cupcakes next week. They turned out great, too.
The Funfetti cupcake recipe is from Jessica at How Sweet It Is. She loves sprinkles and has lots of great original recipes. This is a super recipe and you could certainly use this recipe without the sprinkles, but I am not sure why you would need to leave out the sprinkles.?….?? They are very vanilla-y(love) and mine were pretty dense – kind of like a pound cake. I loved them like that because they really held up nice to the frosting. They had a bit of a crunch on the top, and the insides were extremely moist. Cupcake decoration and wrappers are from AC Moore.
Cupcake cross-section.
These were definitely a hit and the frosting was wonderful, too. I have learned that in order to get your frosting really fluffy you need to just let it whip in the mixer for a long time. I have also learned that using heavy cream in the frosting really makes it fluffy…this frosting was great and not too sweet – just perfect, really.
Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 12 muffin tins
1 stick of softened butter – I usually let it sit on the counter along with the eggs for 1-2 hours
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 TBS vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (I actually used cake flour, but would probably use AP next time.)
1 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup assorted brightly colored sprinkles – I used jimmies but she uses the little tiny sprinkles (we ran out of those)
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and finally the vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix them together with a whisk until combined. Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk until all is combined. Fold in the sprinkles.
Pour into cupcake tins and fill 2/3 of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
Whipped Vanilla Buttercream
1 cup of unsalted butter – softened – I like to use unsalted butter in my frosting because it has a higher fat content and I think it makes for a better frosting…just add a litle more salt if you do use it in place of salted in a recipe.
6-8 cups of confectioners sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup heavy cream.
Beat the butter until creamy and slowly add the sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the heavy cream and beat until fluffy – 3-4 minutes.

Seahawks Insider Blog
A few minutes with DeShawn Shead
With all the talk about competition at defensive back, one of the folks who has gone under the radar a bit is second-year pro DeShawn Shead.
However, the Portland State University product finished last season for the Seattle Seahawks on the active roster after spending most of the season on the practice squad.
At 6-1 and 220 pounds, Shead is another one of those rangy athletes who fits Seattle's profile for a press corner. However, this year Shead has been playing more safety, and offers some versatility as an athlete who can play both corner and safety, along with special teams.
Shead is competing for a backup safety job with Jeron Johnson, Chris Maragos and Winston Guy.
"It helps a lot to be versatile," Shead said. "If somebody goes down at corner, I can step right in. If somebody goes down at safety, I can step right in, along with different roles on special teams. So showing my versatility is definitely a factor."
Shead was a playmaker at Portland State. A four-year starter for the Vikings, Shead finished his college career with 11 interceptions, 211 tackles, five fumble recoveries, four forced fumbles and 29 pass deflections in 44 career games. After three years at cornerback, Shead played safety his senior season at Portland State.
Shead also was a decathlete at Portland State, with personal bests of 10.93 in the 100 meters and 14.49 in the 110 meter hurdles.
"Being a decathlete is tough," Shead said. "You've got to run the 1500, to the 100, to the 400 meter dash to the pole vault – all of that in a matter of two days. So training for that definitely helped me prepare for playing multiple positions."
Check out Shead's pro day workout from last year in the video below.

Handling Fixes That May Not Be The Best Way To Go - Chassis Setup Crutches
Chassis setup crutches have been around forever, and their methods change with the evolution of setup trends. What was common 10 years ago or even 5 years ago may not be common today. We need to know what racers are doing to mask basic setup problems so we can avoid making the same mistakes.
We will outline common crutches in addition to past, present, and future setup trends for both dirt and asphalt. Both forms of stock car racing have their trends and have evolved a lot over the past few years. We'll look at adjustments teams make to try to make their cars handle better, even though they'd be better off going in other directions.
What we have definitely learned is the fastest setup on a two- or three-lap run may not be the fastest setup at the end of the race when the track surface has changed and we are running on worn and heated up tires. Our fast setup must remain fast until the checkered flag falls. The key to that end is to understand the true definition of balance so that we can have the desired consistency needed to be a winner.
We need to evaluate how we are setting up our cars, the type of racetrack we will be running on, and the length of the race. For example, if we are running 25-lap sprint races with three cautions thrown in, our desire for the ultimate fast 5 or 10 laps may cause us to deviate from a setup that must last 100 or more laps under a long green-flag run.
A race car setup crutch could be defined as any change that is intended to solve a handling problem but does not make the car faster and/or causes other problems to appear at other points on the racetrack. We will explain how some specific crutch methods work and why racers think they need these particular crutches. Then, in future articles, we will expand on each topic to explain how to develop more efficient ways to accomplish the same goals.
The following are the most common setup crutches.
Driving Style The way the driver is forced to drive the car can sometimes be a crutch. How many times have we heard a driver say that the car is loose even though it appears tight on entry and in the middle of the turn? What the driver is doing, but is most likely unaware of, is steering excessively in an attempt to overcome a tight condition. This excess steering definitely creates more traction at the front tires to help balance the car. Here is the reason.
The way the driver is forced to steer the car can be an indication of a problem with the setup and is one of the top indicators that may lead to a crutched setup. A lot of research has been done on tire characteristics related to traction. Tire engineers learned that more traction is generated at increased angles of attack in the direction the car is turning. This means that more traction will be gained at the front tires as the wheel is turned farther from the direction of travel, up to a point. This is referred to as the angle of attack.
When the steering gets to an extreme angle of attack, the traction at the front tires will suddenly go away, causing a severe push. But as the steering wheel is turned a few degrees more than normal to force the front end around in a tight car, the handling balance begins to change.
As the driver enters the turn, backs off the throttle, and applies the brakes, he or she begins to turn the steering wheel and must turn it sufficiently so that the front end will come around. If the car's setup is too tight, the driver will need to turn the wheel further than would normally be necessary in a car that is neutral in handling balance.
When the driver has turned too far, the traction balance reverses from tight to loose as the front traction begins to exceed the rear traction. At this point the car will start to feel loose. This can happen very quickly, and the driver will swear that the setup in the car is loose.
Just past midturn, the car will definitely feel loose to the driver. The exit performance off the turn will also suffer as the driver gets on the throttle and the car becomes more loose from power-induced rear wheelspin. The average temperatures of the rear tires will probably be higher than the average of the front tires due to the tires spinning with the loose-off condition.
The crew will often interpret the higher rear temps as a sign of a loose condition and think the car needs to be tightened up, but they are wrong. It is already tight, so a lot of valuable time is wasted searching for solutions to this basic problem.
A great way to quickly discover the handling balance for your car is to have the driver roll through the turn below the maximum speed. The amount of steering input needed to just drive around the turn should be mentally noted. Then the driver should take the turn at full speed and again note the amount of steering input.
If the steering wheel is turned more than when the car was rolled slowly through the turn, the car's setup is too tight. Many drivers are very surprised at the outcome of this test. A lot of time can be saved by doing this simple exercise, and it works for dirt or asphalt. For dirt, the initial entry to the halfway point in the turn is where we look for excess steering to the left for a tight car, or countersteering for a loose car.
Rear Spring Rates We are often in search of more bite off the corners or more aero downforce. To accomplish those goals, we can either soften the right-rear (RR) spring for more bite or stiffen the RR spring to force the nose down on the left side for better aero effect. If your car is too tight or loose in the middle, the rear springs may be too soft or the spring is split too much either way. If the setup is loose, the RR spring may be too stiff.
A common trend in dirt and asphalt racing has been to run a stiffer RR spring than we were used to a few years ago. This can be overdone, so we must compensate to correct the car's handling balance due to excessive manipulation of the car's attitude. Is this all necessary in order to go fast? We experimented and found some interesting conclusions. The first test was with an asphalt Late Model on a fairly flat track.
BBSS vs. Conventional We set up a car for a Late Model touring series (we won't divulge which one) in which the Big Bar and Soft Spring setups were the trick. This series even had a few teams with traction control (not our conclusion, but the consensus of most teams and the officials). We participated in a test day with most of the top cars in the series present.
We decided to deviate and see what would happen if we set up the car just like a typical mid-'90s Midwest flat-track car, using a 350-pound LF, a 325-pound RF, a 185-pound LR, and a 175-pound RR spring. This is basically the flat-track setup I developed for Brian Hoppe's team when he won the 1999 RE/MAX Challenge Series. We also set the crossweight to around 58 percent. We practiced on tires that were used in the previous race and never put on stickers.
Our lap times were as fast or faster than the other cars on not-so-fresh tires. After the other cars had made their sticker runs and put about 20 more laps on those tires, we were still as fast as them, using our 200-plus-lap tires. On longer runs, we were consistently quicker toward the end of the runs, and we got off the corners better than even the T/C cars. Our driver could flat-foot the car off a slippery Turn 4 all day long.
Dirt Car Setup Test We recently attended a closed test with dirt Super Late Model cars. We found interesting trends, but we will report more on this test later, when the data has been properly evaluated.
We started out with what would be described as the current trend in setups. The Panhard bar was attached to the left side of the chassis and was angled with the left mount much higher than the right mount. The left side upper trailing arms were set higher, and the LR spring was mounted in front of the rear end. The front springs were 400 LF, 375 RF, and the rear springs were 275 LR, 275 RR. The car was evaluated for front moment center location, and throughout the test the car turned in well and was neutral in the middle of the turns. The track was moderately slick, and the main problem was getting bite off the corners.
We changed all the bar angles left and right, changed the lift arm shocks and spring, and even replaced the right lower trailing arm with a pushrod. None of those changes produced better lap times, and some adjustments felt bad to the driver.
Then we did something crazy. We reversed the Panhard bar from left chassis to right chassis mount. This configuration completely changed the attitude of the car. Instead of the rear of the car being high and the LR tire moving forward, the car sat low in the turns, both rear tires tucked inside the wheelwells, and the car ran the same lap times. The driver actually went a few tenths faster down low, but moved up after two laps.
The driver liked the feel of the car, but traction off the corners was not necessarily improved. The surprising result was that the lap times did not fall off or get better. The car remained as fast as before and was consistent. The one difference noted was that the LR tire was working more and getting hotter. We will be doing more with this ongoing dirt testing and reporting the results in future issues of Circle Track.
The point here is that whatever the trend, we have to make it work to be consistent and the car must be balanced with all the qualities that will make it fast throughout the race. Don't be afraid to experiment. Our asphalt car did not have the low left-front attitude of the BBSS setups, but it was as fast as those cars.
Front Spring Rates The trend in asphalt racing is to run very soft springs in the front of the car. But there is a limit to how much benefit you get with very soft springs, and the top professional teams have discovered that full coil-binding is not beneficial to good handling.
Again, this is a product of going too far with a good thing. The front end must be low for maximum aero effect, but if the springs are bottoming out or the chassis is contacting the track surface, the car won't handle properly. Handling is the key to going fast.
Dirt track racers have softened up quite a bit over the past five years or so. Street Stock cars that used to run 1,000 to 1,200-pound springs on the front are now down to 850 to 950-pound springs. The norm for springs in the touring dirt Late Model cars used to be 500 LF and 550 RF. Now we see those rates down to 400 to 450-pound springs, sometimes with a stiffer LF.
Dirt teams that have softened the front springs to as low as 600 pounds on Street Stock cars and 300 to 350 pounds on coilover-type Late Model cars have found those rates to be too soft when the car bottoms out or there is too much camber change. This is yet another case of having too much of a good thing.
The Front Geometry Front-end geometry is one area in which changes across the board have made a huge difference in all forms of racing. From Formula One to Street Stock, much research has gone into the value of proper geometry and success in making refinements.
The neat thing about front-end geometry is that what has been tested and proven works with all the setup trends. Good dynamics and proper camber change characteristics are needed in dirt and asphalt (for all classes in each) and helpful for BBSS or conventional trends.
The reason that MC design is valid for all race cars is that the front moment center location controls much of the dynamics of the front suspension. This invisible intersection point is the bottom of the moment arm, and its lateral and vertical location regulates the stiffness of the front end like no other setting. The MC should be designed correctly for each type of race car and for each particular track.
Moving from a moment center width of 0.0 to 10.0 inches right of centerline is like stiffening the front end by an average of 175 pounds of spring rate per side. That's like going from 275-pound springs to 450-pound springs. If you are trying to go soft on the front end, you must consider the MC design along with using softer springs.
The Rear Moment Center Height Many teams don't appreciate the value of the rear Panhard/J-bar as a tuning tool. Some classes don't have a choice in rear MC heights. The stock classes that run metric four-link rear suspensions must live with a very high rear MC that is very hard to adjust. To compensate, they must run a large spring split with the RR spring rate 50 to 100 pounds less than the LR spring rate.
Just like the front MC, rear MC is the bottom of the rear moment arm. If the Panhard bar is set too low or too high for your springs, the rear of the car will not be in sync with the front suspension. This causes either a tight or loose condition.
The bar angle has an effect on load transfer due to its reaction with lateral force. On dirt Late Model cars with bars mounted on the left side of the chassis and a lot of angle pointing the bar toward the RR tire contact patch, a lot of load ends up on the RR tire and the rear of the car rolls up while trying to flip over the rear end. As a result, the rear end steers excessively to the right.
This arrangement will help a tight car get around the corner, but we can't help thinking that this is a crutch. What if we worked on our setups and our geometry in the front end so that the car turned better? Then we could reduce the Panhard bar split, lower the rear MC, reduce the rear steer to the right, and maybe move the Panhard bar over to the right side of the chassis.
The CrossWeight Percentage Having an excess amount of crossweight, or wedge as it is referred to in dirt racing, causes too much weight to be supported by the left-rear and right-front tires and can cause a car to be tight in, through the middle, and off the turns.
We can work within two or more crossweight ranges to make our cars neutral in handling. Within each range, there is a percentage that balances the handling (not the dynamic balance) so that the car will be neutral at midturn.
The ranges and numbers depend on the front-to-rear percentage of weight distribution. The more rear percentage the car has, the more crossweight percentage you need in each range to make the car neutral. If I move weight in the car and go from 50 to 51 percent rear weight distribution, I need to go from 52 to 54 percent of crossweight to keep the car neutral.
Think about this. A team has trouble with a tight-loose condition in which the car is tight and the driver oversteers into the loose-off condition we described earlier. They add rear weight to tighten the car, and all of a sudden the loose-off condition is gone. They think they've added bite with the added rear weight, but in reality, they have loosened the car to make it more neutral in the middle of the turns by not adding crossweight with the front-to-rear percentage change.
Crossweight that is too low is a distinct indication of a tight car. If a car really needs 51.9 percent of crossweight to have proper weight transfer and is able to run only 49.8 percent, we know the team had to take cross out of the car because the setup was tight.
There is an optimum percentage of weight distribution that will make the car neutral if the setup is dynamically balanced. Remember, a neutral car is not necessarily a winning car. It must remain neutral throughout the entire race, and having dynamic balance makes that happen.
Conclusion The use of excess steering input, low crossweight, rear steer, or any of these crutches intended to make your car turn are indications that other problems exist and need to be fixed. What the car needs is an arrangement of spring rate layout, front geometry design (including moment center placement and camber change), Panhard bar height (rear moment center height), and correct weight distribution that will work in combination to provide a fast and balanced setup.
Once these areas of setup are correctly identified and made to work together, the car will give the team what it wants, which is a fast and consistent handling package that the driver can use to win races. Being able to identify the crutches and knowing which areas to look at to correctly solve your handling problems makes the process much easier.
If you can identify your driving and setup crutches and find the proper fixes for your handling problems, then your program will move forward and your team will be much more successful. If you've ever wondered what makes a championship team able to adjust and run well anywhere they go, it is largely because they have learned how to identify the difference between meaningful adjustments and crutches.

Rock and Rolling Madonna Queen of Cameltoes?
Queen of Rock and Roll, Madonna, can still excite music fans of all ages as she recently performed in her sell out Sticky and Sweet tour around the USA and Europe. And Madonna is still the queen of cameltoes in the music industry.
A week after turning 50 years old, when most of her peers would still be shaking off a hangover, the untiring pop star performed 51 shows across Europe and America.
However, for many Madonna fans, the highlight of her Sticky and Sweet music concerts was not Madonna singing and promoting her recent album, Hard Candy, but when she was strutting around the stage in a Givenchy-designed one-piece, fishnets and knee high boots flashing her mature cameltoe to all her music fans.
Well done to Madonna for showing her fans that even at the ripe age of 50 years old the Queen of Rock and Roll still sports a perfect shaped cameltoe which singers half of her age would be proud to flash.

I'm a bit paranoid about security and I have a super complicated unlock pattern, even if someone sees it I don't think they'll be able to memorize it. But it's a hassle when I do this every minute when I unlock my phone... Is there another lockscreen I can use to make this easier? I'm on an old Galaxy S3 with no finger print scanner...
If you have Android 6.0+ you can set up a Trusted Device in your settings, under Security. Add stuff like your home wifi, or any bluetooth device that you're carrying with you. That way, when your phone is connected to those WiFi/Bluetooth sources it'll stop asking for the pattern.
Huh. I knew about this but forgot, thanks! I'll use my home and work wifis.
What if you can't set up trusted device in settings?
There are app alternatives - here's one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tusch.assistr
Uh, but it's deprecated... Anything updated tho?
IndyPhone yah seriously, is there one?
i super hate the unlock pattern, it blows
i just stick with pin or pass
i use pic pass, it's cool and easy
how about fingerprinting? it's coming to many new phones
LGwinner I'm using it... Why? Because I'm bad...
DiamondBlitz Ha... Okay... Does it work all that well then?
DiamondBlitz Fingerprinting sounds scary...
LGwinner i used it once and it was okay... it still needs a bit of work
LGwinner oh that, yeah it's fine
i hate lock screens... i dont use them... i keep my phone on my always so it doesnt matter to me
DiamondBlitz I think something better would be useful then
allurbase It may be so to you, but I think it is fine. I'm not as concerned as others for privacy though so I guess I cannot see what you mean.
DiamondBlitz Your choice pal... it's just crazy how much personal info is disclosed
I'm still using pin number... it's nice. But I use six digits instead of four.
IndyPhone i use a simple pin 4 digit... i'd be lucky someone get a hold of my phone
are there other paranoia reducers? Just kidding..

It is really hard to make a best books of the year list, there are so many good books and any rating system is subjective so I don't even try to be objective, this is best books of 2010 from my own readings and I already know there are a number of real good books that I have not yet read this year and I will tell which I suspect they are towards the end of this post.
My main interest lies in science fiction and especially towards space opera and military scifi so take this list for what it is, the books I enjoyed most this year.
Best First Releases
These are the best of the 61 first releases I read this year (for details see the 2010 book index)
10. The Quantum Thief (The Quantum Thief book 1) [Debut]
by Hannu Rajaniemi
Published by Gollancz
The Quantum Thief is like a Finnish Tango, it got a strange rhythm to it and it takes you places you never imagined before. It is a great debut novel by Hannu Rajaniemi and probably a future classic.
9. Servants of the Underworld (Obsidian & Blood book 1) [Debut]
by Aliette de Bodard
Published by Angry Robot
Aliette have found her culture and settings in central American pre-colonization Aztec country. This is about a murder mystery investigated by Acatl, High Priest for the Dead. In many respect it reminds of traditional mystery novels but the setting is the sacred city with its priests, worshipers, warriors, pyramids, temples, cults and living gods. This is a great book if you want to try a different kind of fantasy, set as it is outside the traditional western or Japanese settings. It is a standalone novel in a series. The next book Harbinger of the Storm is already on its way in the mail.
8. Darkship Thieves (Darkship Thieves book 1)
by Sarah A. Hoyt
Published by Baen
There are many authors that try to channel Heinlein but it is Sarah A. Hoyt that comes closest this year. This is a really mesmerizing book, I started reading and after a few pages I was in the world Sarah A. Hoyt created experiencing it from the slightly disturbed mind of a captivating young woman. Athena Hera Sinistra is as much a handful as her name, but it is a handful easy to love as a reader. Book two Darkship Rebels will be out late 2011.
7. The Noise Within (The Noise Within book 1) [2nd Novel]
by Ian Whates
Published by Solaris
The Noise Within is a well cooked space opera with black ops, intelligent ships, ai-interfaces, alien mysteries and intelligent guns. Great military action just the way I like it, there is a few mysteries that awaits answers in the next book The Noise Revealed that is due in March 2011.
6. Dreadnought (Clockwork Century book 3)
by Cherrie Priest
Published by Tor
I have really discovered steampunk this year and it all started with Boneshaker. Dreadnought has it all a feisty female protagonist, airships, war machines, secret conspiracies and zombies. I had great fun reading this one.
5. Veteran (Veteran book 1) [Debut of the Year]
by Gavin Smith
Published by Gollancz
This is the debut of the year for me. Gavin G. Smith is new but he writes like a pro. Veteran is an excellent read. It got mysterious aliens, conspiracies, realistic battle scenes, fast pace, lots of wow moments and wonderful characters. I would say this is a mixture of heavy metal, cyberpunk and classic sf. It is definitely military science fiction at its best and I would recommend it to a wider audience. I can't wait for his next book War in Heaven (coming in June 2011).
4. Oath of Fealthy (Paladin's Legacy book 1)
by Elizabeth Moon
Published by Orbit
Elizabeth Moon is a fantastic story teller with vivid hearty characters you can't help falling in love with, which she proves again with this one. Oath of Fealty is a mature, competent and fulfilling read. It is also a great start of a series that also works as a standalone book. Elizabeth is another author that writes characters the way I like them.
3. Mission of Honor (Honor Harrington book 12)
by David Weber
Published by Baen
This is a monumental book in the Honorverse, this ends the original storyline with Haven and starts a new darker one with the Alignment as the antagonist. I like David Weber he writes entertaining military science fiction about formidable easy to love characters.
2. Blood and Iron (Penrose book 2)
by Tony Ballantyne
Published by Tor UK
It is such a fantastic different world of robots and the story deals with a pivotal moment in its history, when the first humans return. Book one, Twisted Metal left many mysteries unanswered that are revealed in this novel.
1. The Technician (A Polity Universe book)
by Neal Asher
Published by Tor UK
I love Neal Asher's agent Cormac novels set in the same universe as this sequel that deals with one of the great mysteries in the original series. What happened to the races that dominated the galaxy before humanity? Good fast paced fun in this thrilling adventure. Maybe I should also tell you Asher is very vivid in all the gory details of this alien ecology.
Best New-to-me Book
- Raft (Xeelee Sequence book 1) by Stephen Baxter (Gollancz 1991)
- Julian Comstock by Robert Charles Wilson (Tor 2009)
- Shadow of the Scorpion (Agent Cormac prequel) by Neal Asher (Tor UK 2008)
- The Shockwave Rider by John Brunner (Methuen 1975)
- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (Scholastic 2008)
- Keeping it Real (Quantum Gravity book 1) by Justina Robson (Gpllancz 2006)
- Harmony (Harmony book 1) by C. F. Bentley (Daw 2008)
- Sun of Suns (Virga book 1) by Karl Schroeder (Tor 2006)
Honorary Mentions
There were many good books this year. In no particular order…
- WE by John Dickinson (David Fickling Books)
- Absorption (Ragnarok Trilogy book 1) by John Meaney (Gollancz)
- The Black Lung Captain (Tales of the Kitty Jay book 2) by Chris Wooding (Gollancz)

- Up Jim River (The January Dancer book 2) by Michael Flynn (Tor/Tantor Media)
- The Crucible of Empire (Jao Empire book 2) by Eric Flint & K. D. Wentworth (Baen)
- Victorious (Lost Fleet book 6) by Jack Campbell (Ace)
The Ones That Got Away
There are some books I didn't come around to this year for different reasons but I suspect are really great. Maybe next year. I know I am probably forgetting a few.
- Surface Detail by Ian M. Banks
- The Evolutionary Void by Peter F. Hamilton
I will not talk about the ones that disappointed me this year, they got all the publicity they deserve in my reviews.
This was a great year. Can I have another? please.

As we feared, Democrat Ron Barber has narrowly defeated Republican Martha McSally in Arizona's Second Congressional District. This is the seat formerly held by Gabrielle Giffords.
McSally led by about 400 voters on the day after the election. But the late-counted vote brought Barber victory by about 1,400 votes in a district that encompasses parts of Tucson and southeastern Arizona and is not identical to the one Giffords represented.
Barber is a career bureaucrat and former Giffords staffer. McSally was the first American woman to fly in combat following the 1991 lifting of the prohibition of women in combat, and the first woman to command a USAF fighter squadron.

I want to view (and/or edit) colorized text in emacs, such as is output by
ls -l --color=always,
tree..., or whatever.
The text I refer to exists in a file. When I open that file in emacs, I want to be able to see it colorized, or toggle it to show ANSI (SGR) escape sequences.
ansi-color.el seems be be what I need, but I haven't been able to get it to do any colorizing of the ANSi escape sequences, but I do see blue-bold for individual contol bytes (eg.
^A and
^[)... I'm not sure if that is a feature of
ansi-color, but I think it is.
According to the ansi-color.el comments, it can work with strings and regions, but even that doesn't seem to work.. For example the function
ansi-color-apply-on-region is not recognized by
M-x. It says, "No match"
I've added
(require 'ansi-color) to my .emacs file and even
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on). I get no error or warning when emacs starts, so I'm stuck.
How can I get the standard functions to work, and can it be made to automatically apply when opening a file whose name is suffixed with

A representative for Gwyneth Paltrow is adamant the actress is not rekindling her relationship with estranged husband Chris Martin despite numerous sightings of the two stars together since their split.
The Oscar winner announced in March that she and Coldplay front man Martin had broken up, cryptically referring to the split as a "conscious uncoupling."
Since then the two stars, who are parents to 10-year-old daughter Apple and son Moses, 8, have been spotted out dining together on at least four occasions, sparking speculation they are working to revive their romance – but a rep for Paltrow has now spoken out to pour cold water on the gossip.
The spokeswoman says, "You will many times see them together, as they are raising two children. I don't know why that is surprising since they were very clear when they announced their break-up that they were still very much a family, just not a couple."
