Dalesa is a peer-to-peer web cache designed for Local Area Networks (LAN). Dalesa[1] is a free and opensource software developed by Lanka Software Foundation[2] under GPL license.
Dalesa[3] can be used as an alternative to centralized web caches in a Local Area Network. This is done by exposing local web browser caches to the entire P2P network. This is achieved through a daemon (computer software) which act as a web proxy server in every participating node. If a web request misses the local cache then the system fail-back to multicast based lookup protocol to query the P2P network, if any other node on the network gives a positive response to this query then the web object will be fetched from that node.
Dalesa web cache has two major components. The core of the system is libdalesa, it is the core library that acts as a group communication framework. The other component is a web cache that uses libdalesa for remote cache object lookups. libdalesa is a generic framework for group communication which currently . As an abstraction layer it is possible to encapsulate numerous group communication mechanisms like Distributed Hash Tables other than currently available IP multicasting based protocol. The protocol identifies web objects by the SHA-1 hash of their origin URLs, this approach has reduced the size of UDP datagrams multicasted over the network carrying information related to URLs which are typically quite lengthier than 160 bits these days.
Awards & Grants[edit]
- Dalesa was awarded with an ICTA (Sri Lanka)[4] eSociety grant[5] in 2009.
- Dalesa won a special mention award[6][7] at ICTA e-Swabhimani 2009 National Awards 2009.[8]
- A paper on design of Dalesa was published at eAsia 2009 held in Colombo.[12]
- Security and integrity are the major problems in Dalesa. As it has no mechanism to verify integrity and authenticity of cache objects, content poisoning attacks are possible. In a content poisoning attack a rogue user can respond to a lookup message and force the requester to fetch a malicious file from his node.

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the most common pharmaceutical poisoning. The objective of this study was to examine the management of patients admitted for treatment of APAP overdose. Factors impacting hospital length of stay (LOS) were of particular interest. This was a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted to Kaiser Permanente Northern California hospitals for APAP overdose from July 2003 through December 2007. Medical records were abstracted for patient demographic data, key factors of overdose, California Poison Control System (CPCS) contact, data regarding hospital course, transfer for liver transplantation, and death. Four hundred thirty-five patients were included. The mean hospital LOS was 66.5 h (95% CI 62.1, 71.0). Four patients (0.9%) died. Eight patients (1.8%) were transferred for liver transplantation, but all of these patients later recovered without transplant. Of 289 cases eligible for placement on the Rumack–Matthew nomogram (acute ingestion with known time of ingestion <24 h and normal liver enzymes), 161 (55.7%) had APAP levels above the "200" line and 77 (26.6%) fell below the "150" line. CPCS was contacted in 295 cases (67.8%). Mean LOS in cases with CPCS consultation was 61.9 h (95% CI 57.2, 66.5 h) versus 76.3 h (95% CI 66.6, 86.0 h) in those without. LOS in cases treated with IV NAC was 67.1 h (95% CI 57.7, 76.5 h) versus 66.4 h (95% CI 61.2, 71.5 h) in cases treated with oral NAC. Many patients admitted for APAP overdose had serum APAP levels below the minimum toxicity level. Use of IV NAC did not impact hospital LOS. CPCS consultation appeared to decrease mean hospital LOS.
KeywordsAcetaminophen poisoning Clinical toxicology N-acetylcysteine Poison control
Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is the most common pharmaceutical poisoning reported to poison control centers and remains the number one cause of medication overdose mortality [1]. Unfortunately, little is known about the clinical management of APAP poisoning cases by community physicians. No studies examining the management of APAP overdose outside of academic medical centers or poison control centers currently exist.
Patients presenting with acute APAP overdose are risk stratified based on the Rumack–Matthew nomogram. The traditional treatment protocol for APAP poisoning in the USA consists of a 72-h course of oral N-acetylcysteine (NAC) [2, 3, 4]. More recently experts have recommended patient-tailored approaches to oral NAC treatment [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]. These protocols seek to truncate NAC therapy for patients showing evidence of recovery. Though definitive research evidence to "prove" efficacy of these protocols is lacking, many medical toxicologists have adopted these strategies based on anecdotal experiences. Most protocols depend on an undetectable serum APAP level and normal (or resolving) liver enzymes as clearance criteria. A shortened-course of oral NAC for selected cases of APAP poisoning has been recommended by practitioners from the California Poison Control System (CPCS) since before 2000 [5, 6], though no routine policy is in place.
In 2004, the US FDA approved an intravenous NAC preparation (Acetadote) giving practitioners another viable treatment option. The Acetadote package insert recommends a 21-h course of therapy [13]; however, this protocol may not be appropriate for all patients with APAP poisoning. Considerable controversy still exists within the toxicology community regarding the proper endpoints for NAC therapy regardless of the route used [14]. Treatment of patients with chronic or repeated APAP overdose present an even more complicated management problem.
This retrospective study was designed to examine the clinical management of admitted APAP poisoning patients by physicians in a community hospital setting. The aim was to describe the hospital course of patients admitted to our large, community hospital system for treatment of APAP overdose with particular focus on factors influencing hospital length of stay (LOS). It was hypothesized that LOS would be decreased by early activated charcoal (AC) use, CPCS consultation, early NAC use, and use of intravenous NAC. It was also hypothesized that hospital LOS would be markedly (>24 h) longer than the times of earliest laboratory evidence of clearance (the endpoint of most patient-tailored treatment algorithms).
This was a retrospective cohort study of all patients admitted for treatment of APAP poisoning to any hospital within our large, community-based hospital system. Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) records were searched for cases of APAP overdose admitted for antidotal therapy from July 2003 through December 2007. KPNC electronic hospital records were searched for hospital diagnoses of "acetaminophen overdose", "drug overdose", or "analgesic overdose" by ICD-9 codes (500911, 501231, 501623, 965.4, 965.4A, 977.9E, 977.9D, E850.4, E850.4A, E935.4, E935.4A, E950.0, E950.0A, 965.9, 965.8). Pharmacy records were then searched for patients receiving NAC therapy. Records of patients admitted for "overdose" and receiving NAC antidotal therapy were reviewed for possible study inclusion. The Kaiser Foundation Research Institute investigational review board approved this study.
Study Setting
KPNC is a large, integrated healthcare delivery system consisting of 21 medical centers throughout Northern California. These healthcare facilities provide comprehensive medical care for over 3.5 million patient members. Although three KPNC facilities have University-affiliated residency programs, these are not considered major academic centers. It is the author's belief that the practice patterns of KPNC physicians mirror those of other community physicians (at non-academic medical centers).
No bedside toxicology consulting service existed within KPNC during the study period. Physicians within KPNC do, however, have phone access to the CPCS. The CPCS is a statewide telephone advice line providing poison and drug overdose information to healthcare providers and the lay public. Treatment decisions were ultimately at the discretion of the admitting physicians who were internal medicine physicians or pediatricians. No standardized treatment guidelines for acetaminophen overdose existed during the study period.
Commercially available intravenous N-acetylcysteine (Acetadote) has been on formulary at KPNC since 2005. Since its inclusion, this is the product available for use when IV NAC is ordered. Since the vast majority of our facilities do not have compounding pharmacies, extemporaneously prepared intravenous mucomyst is no longer available.
Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria
Any patient with hospital admission for APAP poisoning was eligible for study inclusion. Children as well as adults were included. Exclusion criteria were: primary diagnosis other than APAP poisoning (not including liver failure secondary to APAP overdose), any "significant" co-ingested drug or medication, transfers into the KPNC system where NAC therapy was initiated prior to arrival, or cases where hospital records were not available. Significant co-ingestion was defined as any co-ingestant overdose that caused alteration of mental status such that the patient could not give history in the emergency department (unless AMS was felt due to APAP-induced liver toxicity) or that required additional, specific antidotal therapy (e.g., naloxone, etc.). No attempt was made to analyze cases of APAP overdose that were evaluated and released from the emergency department.
Data Collection
KPNC uses an extensive computerized medical record system throughout its hospitals, pharmacies, and laboratories. These computerized medical records were queried to extract patient demographic data, emergency department and hospital times, activated charcoal administration, NAC antidote formulations, and pertinent laboratory results. Medical records for all cases meeting inclusion criteria were reviewed by a single reviewer (SRO) to determine the reported time of APAP ingestion, any co-ingested medications, timing of ingestion (acute vs. chronic), type of ingestion (intentional vs. accidental), presence of known pre-existing liver or renal disease, times of psychiatry consultation, notation of poison control center call, transfer for liver transplantation, and death. When multiple entries for time of ingestion occurred, the time recorded in the admitting physician's note was entered for study purposes. No attempt was made to determine APAP dosage, therapeutic medications lists, or NAC stop times. Unfortunately, NAC stop times were unreliably recorded in the medical records. Cases of acute overdose receiving APAP levels between 4 and 24 h of ingestion were evaluated for Rumack–Matthew nomogram placement using formulas derived by Rumack and White [15]. Cases presenting with liver enzyme elevation (AST > 60 IU/L, ALT > 60 IU/L) and/or INR elevation (>1.3) were not considered eligible for Rumack–Matthew nomogram placement. All data were entered into a standardized data collection instrument.
CPCS computerized records were also queried for cases of APAP overdose originating from any Kaiser Permanente Northern California healthcare facility. Patient names on this list were compared with the study patient list to determine whether the CPCS had been contacted for information regarding the case. Cases where no call was found within the CPCS records but notation was made of a discussion with a poison control center, were considered to have been managed in consultation with the CPCS.
The KPNC mortality database was reviewed to capture possible cases of APAP overdose resulting in death not captured during the initial review. This database tracks mortality data, including date of death, for Kaiser members and is used primarily for research purposes.
In order to estimate potential times to completion of NAC therapy using patient-tailored protocols [5, 6, 10], a theoretical model for predicting when patients might have been cleared from antidotal therapy was developed. The "earliest laboratory evidence of clearance time" was defined as the time when available labs demonstrated that the APAP level was undetectable (less than 10 μg/mL) and the patient's liver transaminases were normal (AST < 60 IU/L, ALT < 60 IU/L). In the event that liver enzymes were elevated at any point during the hospitalization, lab evidence of clearance was considered to have occurred when the serum APAP level was undetectable (<10 μg/mL) and liver enzymes were decreasing and less than 1,000 IU/L.
Data Analysis
All data were entered directly into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet developed a priori for study data entry. Rumack–Matthew nomogram placement was determined using formulas derived and published by White and Rumack [15]. Statistical analysis was performed with STATA statistical software (Stata Corp., Version 11.0, College Station, TX). Data were described using simple, descriptive statistics. 95% confidence intervals (CI) are provided where appropriate. Comparison of means was performed with Student's t test. Relationships between certain continuous variables were described using correlation coefficients.

There were seven cases with pre-existing liver disease on hospital admission. These consisted of 4 cases of hepatitis C with mild liver enzymes elevations, two cases of alcoholic hepatitis without liver enzyme elevation, and one case of hepatitis B without liver enzyme elevation. All seven of these cases received CPCS consultation. All seven were treated with oral NAC. None died or were transferred for liver transplantation.
There were two cases with known pre-existing renal disease. One was a patient with documented renal insufficiency and creatinine of 1.6 mg/dL. The other was a patient with renal failure and on hemodialysis. This patient received CPCS consultation and received intravenous NAC therapy. Both of these patients recovered and neither were transferred for liver transplantation.

One hundred and sixty-one patients (37%) received AC in the ED. Fifty-five of these cases (34.2%) were associated with co-ingestant ingestions. Time from ingestion to AC administration (mean 5.8 h; 95% CI = 4.9, 6.7) was mildly correlated with hospital LOS (r = 0.22; p = 0.0057). Of patients receiving AC, those treated within 4 h of ingestion had a mean hospital LOS of 56.0 h (95% CI = 50.1, 61.9) versus 60.1 h (95% CI = 53.1, 67.1) in those who were not.

There was a higher percentage of cases with serum APAP levels falling below the "150" line of the Rumack–Matthew nomogram in the group of patients who received CPCS consultation (30.5% vs 18.5%). When those cases with levels falling below the "150" line were removed from the LOS analysis, CPCS consultation was still associated with shorter hospital LOS (66.1 h versus 79.9 h; difference in means = 13.8 h; 95% CI = 3.0, 24.7).
Time from ingestion to NAC administration was correlated with hospital LOS (r = 0.16; p = 0.0033). Patients receiving NAC within 8 h of ingestion had a mean hospital LOS of 56.2 h (95% CI = 51.5, 60.9) versus 66.8 h (95% CI = 60.5, 73.1) for those who did not.

The mean ED LOS was 5.8 h (95% CI = 5.4, 6.3 h). The mean hospital LOS for all cases throughout the study period was 66.5 h (95% CI = 62.1, 71.0 h). Annual mean hospital LOS is shown in Table 5. Mean time from presentation to the earliest laboratory evidence of clearance was 30.3 h (95% CI = 27.8, 32.8 h). The mean time from earliest laboratory evidence of clearance to discharge was 35.0 h (95% CI = 31.8, 38.2 h).
Our study is subject to the limitations inherent to chart review data including recording bias. The most important areas of concern are the actual product taken in overdose and the exact time of ingestion. These data points are of particular concern as they are collected from third party information (patient to clinician to medical record) and might directly affect our findings. We do, however, feel that that the recorded times of ingestion are likely to accurately reflect clinician estimates used to make treatment decisions. Data on reported dose of acetaminophen ingested was not collected, as this information was inconsistently and unreliably recorded in the medical record.
Administration of NAC was used as a search criterion to identify eligible patients, therefore any cases of APAP overdose that were managed without NAC therapy would have been missed. As NAC is widely available and the well-known antidote for APAP overdose, it is likely that very few cases (if any) would be managed without ever receiving NAC.
Decisions to obtain CPCS consultation were made by treating clinicians. Therefore it is possible that cases where CPCS consultation was sought could have been inherently different. It is logical that consultation would be more likely in cases that were complicated or higher acuity. Therefore, observed differences in CPCS case outcomes should be evaluated with this limitation in mind.
We made an attempt to estimate when patients might have been cleared from NAC therapy based on patient-tailored protocols by calculating the time of "earliest laboratory evidence of clearance". This was compared with actual hospital LOS to estimate where efficiency improvements might be made. Unfortunately this estimation is dependent on laboratory tests ordered by clinicians at the time of treatment. We had no control over the timing of available lab draws. It is likely that more accurate estimates could be possible were scheduled labs available.
This study examined a large cohort of patients admitted to KPNC hospitals for treatment of uncomplicated APAP poisoning. This is the first study to describe the clinical management of APAP overdose within a community (non-academic) hospital system.
Death due to APAP overdose was rare, occurring in only four patients (0.9%). This mortality rate is consistent with previous studies of patients treated for APAP overdose [14, 16, 17]. Although several patients were transferred for possible liver transplantation, no patients actually received transplant.
A large number of acute overdose patients (approximately 27%) were admitted for treatment despite serum APAP levels below the "150" treatment line on the Rumack–Matthew nomogram. While some cases may have been properly treated due to historical nuances, many of these likely represent patients who required neither NAC nor hospital admission [3]. These patients were hospitalized for an average of 2 days. While this study was not designed to explore the reasons for admission in these cases, it is unlikely that psychiatric evaluation was a significant factor as this is not the usual practice in our facilities. Desire for extra caution or a lack of familiarity with treatment guidelines by clinicians may account for some of these admissions. It is possible that improved toxicological evaluation would decrease the number of hospital admission days in this cohort.
Patients were hospitalized, on average, for nearly 3 days. While this average LOS is somewhat shorter than would be expected with the 72-h NAC treatment protocol previously advocated, patients appear to stay in the hospital much longer than would be predicted using patient-tailored NAC treatment protocols. The average time from earliest laboratory evidence of clearance to hospital discharge was 35 h. This calculation was performed in an attempt to measure the potential impact of routine use of patient-tailored NAC treatment protocols. [5, 6, 10] The maximum potential impact in this cohort was 157 hospital admission days per year (Total earliest laboratory clearance to DC hours/24 h/3.5 years). While it is clear that patients could never be discharged immediately upon laboratory clearance, this represents an area where meaningful efficiency improvements could be made in the management of APAP overdose patients.
Little literature exists examining the effects of poison control center telephone contact and/or medical toxicology consultation on the hospital course of overdose patients. Current data suggests that availability of poison control center telephone consultation decreases healthcare resource utilization mostly by decreasing ED presentations and hospital admissions after toxicological exposures [18, 19, 20]. Studies evaluating the impact of poison control center contact on hospital LOS, however, are mixed. Data from a statewide database of hospital admissions demonstrated a 3-day shorter hospital LOS for overdose patients who received poison center consultations versus those who did not [21]. Another, recent study comparing poison center call volumes and hospital LOS was unable to identify any such correlation [22]. Two past studies examine the effects of hospital medical toxicology services on resource utilization. Both involved evaluation of toxicology patients admitted before and after availability of toxicology consultation services. One study found a significant decrease in hospital LOS among patients receiving consultation [23]. The other study examined the management of TCA overdose and did not find any difference in LOS [24]. This study did, however, identify a decrease in general resource utilization. It should be noted that none of these studies examined APAP overdose admissions specifically (the most common cause of medication overdose). Within our system clinical toxicology consultation was not available during the study period, but two thirds of patients were managed with CPCS consultation by telephone. When compared with patients managed without CPCS, these patients had a significantly shorter hospital length of stay. Our findings support the conclusion that toxicology consultation by CPCS does impact hospital LOS.
There was a significant increase in the use of IV NAC antidote during the study period. IV NAC was used in no cases in 2003 then steadily increased to half of cases in 2007 (see Table 5) This increase in parenteral antidote use corresponds to US FDA approval of IV NAC (Acetadote®) in 2004, the subsequent marketing that followed, and inclusion into the KPNC formulary in 2005. Interestingly, this study did not demonstrate a decrease in LOS for admitted APAP poisoning patients despite this increase in IV NAC use.
All four deaths occurred in patients treated with oral NAC and prior to 2006. Unfortunately these numbers are too small to formulate any concrete conclusions. There were no deaths in the IV NAC group. Rates of allergic reactions related to IV NAC use were not collected.
It is generally accepted that both oral and IV NAC are equally effective for the treatment of APAP overdose [4, 14, 25]. Though one recent study suggested that IV NAC may slightly decrease the risk of hepatotoxicity in patients starting treatment early [26], most toxicologists consider either formulation to provide adequate hepatic protection. Debate, however, exists over which formulation is preferable from a resource utilization standpoint. While the FDA approved IV NAC formulation (Acetadote®) is more expensive, it is considered to be easier to use and better tolerated by patients. Despite its higher price, some authors have suggested that Acetadote® is actually more cost effective than oral NAC [16, 26, 27, 28, 29]. The basis for this assertion is Acetadote's 20-h treatment regimen and a presumed decrease in hospitalization time. Our data did not support the conclusion that IV NAC use decreases hospital LOS. While strict adherence to recommended IV 21-h protocols might have changed this result, it is not clear that Acetadote® dosing, as outlined in the package insert, is appropriate in all cases of APAP poisoning. This study cannot explain why IV NAC had no effect on hospital LOS but possible reasons include the use of longer courses of IV NAC, a desire to observe patients after completion of the course of therapy, and/or disposition issues that delayed discharge (e.g., psychiatric consultation and/or placement).
Areas for future research might include the evaluation of hospital management after institution of routine APAP overdose management protocols within community hospital systems and/or evaluation of patient care before and after availability of a clinical toxicology consultation service.
In this cohort of patients admitted for treatment of APAP overdose, patients appeared to be managed safely. A large percentage of acute overdose patients were admitted with APAP levels falling below the Rumack–Matthew treatment line, perhaps unnecessarily. The time from lab evidence of clearance to hospital discharge may represent an area that could be improved in managing these patients. Hospital LOS was significantly shorter in patients who received CPCS telephone consultation. There was no decrease in LOS associated with IV NAC use.

Ray Lewis Talks I Feel Like Going On and Not Making a Super Bowl Pick
The football legend will be in Phoenix on Sunday to sign copies of his new book.
Ray Lewis wrote a book.
Yes, that Ray Lewis wrote a book. You know, the one known for being among the most inspirational and feared football players to ever throw on the pads. And he'll be at Changing Hands in Phoenix on Sunday, October 25, to shake hands and sign copies of his memoir, I Feel Like Going On, and motivate his fans to be better people.
Sure, you may have watched him play linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowls XXXV and XLVII. Or maybe you've seen him on commercials and video game covers and heard about what happened in Atlanta back in 2000 when he was involved in a murder trial. (The murder charges against him were dismissed.) But you probably don't know Lewis' own views on his story — outside of the occasional documentary or ESPN special. Lewis wants to change that, and share through his book everything from being raised by his mom to his NFL career, faith, and controversy off the field.
"A lot of people have seen my story, but nobody ever told my story," Lewis says. "I waited until the right time for me. I've been out of the league for a few years, but I can still motivate people everyday."
At 40, Lewis has already made the transition from Super Bowl MVP to ESPN analyst with relative ease. If you ask the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, it's one of the best decisions he ever made.
"I personally think this is one of the greatest things to happen in my career," Lewis says. "I'm so excited to be able to see my son's [college] games every weekend. He can look over and know that I'm right there. I can say that I left the game on my terms."
Speaking of parenting, Lewis says he has a high standard to live up to when raising his own child, as his mother set the bar extremely high. Lewis credits his mother with making him the man he is today and believes it's due time he pays her back for all the time and effort she put in.
"With all of the things I've been doing, I can finally thank my mom for everything she's done for me," Lewis says. "My mom inspired me in everything. She did a heck of a job raising me without a father around, and I applaud her for that."
That's what made Lewis want to inspire people, which is one of the many things the legendary former linebacker wants to do with his book. He's had his ups and downs, but it's the drive and dedication to overcome it all that has Lewis on his way to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"Some things in life you can't go around, you have to go through it," Lewis says. "But when you go through it, on the other side, there's glory. I wanted to do a book to inspire other people to not be afraid to go through things. Fear is what keeps people in bed."
While Lewis is a firm believer in religion, faith, and perseverance, there's one thing he doesn't believe in: Analysts making Super Bowl predictions.
"I always used to get mad at analysts who would say 'This team is going to the Super Bowl,'" Lewis laughs when asked for his Super Bowl prediction. "I'm just looking forward to watching some great games in the playoffs this year. All I know is every game, one team is going to leave sick and one team is going to leave happy."
Ray Lewis will be at Changing Hands Bookstore at 300 W. Camelback Rd. in Phoenix at 4 p.m. on Sunday, October 24. A ticket to the signing is free with purchase of the book ($26.99) from Changing Hands.

When we get ready to meet (which I feel will be soon) what would be a good 1st date? We could meet halfway, but there isn't much between us. Should we go to lunch or dinner at a place kind of equidistant?
Met online and we live two hours apart?
What Guys Said 0
No guys shared opinions.
What Girls Said 1
Go to lunch or dinner at the nearest place for both of you. But two hours apart seems like too much. If it's just dating, I suppose that's okay but if you're thinking of getting into a serious relationship thats a big no-no00|00|0
Why we can alternate who spends the weekend with the other if we decide to get in a relationship?
I suppose that's true. If you two can work it out, go for it! :)

LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- Manny Pacquiao's journey continues.
Branded as now over the hill and ready to be picked apart by title defending champion Timothy Bradley, the 35-year-old Filipino boxing hero proved the now deposed belt-owner wrong, teaching him a neat boxing lesson in a unanimous decision victory, in re-claiming the World Boxing Organization welterweight crown.
Besides bringing back the plum to the country as promised, the fighting Congressman of Sarangani Province dealt the erstwhile unbeaten and boastful American his first defeat in 32 times up as he, once more, appeared ready to conquer new heights in the sport that brought him and his country immeasurable honor, fame and riches.
The win, likewise, came as a vindication that the highly questionable split decision triumph inflicted to him by Bradley on June 9, 2012, a mistake.
It was a showdown between two fighters who seemed would not emerge from the ring as whole as when they answered the first bell.
Both fighters tried to finish each other throwing haymakers with Pacquiao connecting more solidly that may be called incomparable.
"Manny fought well, scoring with better shots," chief trainer Freddie Roach said. "He appeared hurt though in the fourth, but recovered as fast to control the fight from here. After six rounds, Bradley was no longer dangerous."
There was no knockdown the whole of the 12-round classic, but the obviously more talented eight-division champion, showed he, definitely, was the better fighter winning 10 rounds in judge Glenn Trowbridge and eight each in counterparts Michael Pernick and Craig Metcaff.
Photos by Wendell Rupert Alinea.
Trowbridge gave the Filipino winner of four lineal championships the first three rounds, and the last seven in a lopsided 118-110 verdict. Pernick and Metcaff saw Pacquiao the victor via identical 116-112 scorecards. Trowbridge saw Bradley in only two rounds -- the fourth and the fifth where he held back Pacquiao's attacks with big right crosses.
After the usual feeling his way in the opening canto, Pacquiao started the ball rolling in the next session scoring with left and right combinations as Bradley looked confused.
The father of four with Sarangani Vice Gov. Jinkee, who is expecting their fifth late this month, fought his best rounds in the 24 rounds he faced Pacquiao in 22 months in the seventh round where he fired consecutive shots at one point with Bradley cornered in the rope, bringing the crowd of 15,601 to its feet roaring.
Bradley started backtracking in the next round after reeling from the big shots, Pacquiao threw at him.
Apparently frustrated for failing to hold his own against the new champ's rushing, Bradley turned to theatrics, sometimes lowering his two hands and signaling Pacquiao to come and fight. Pacquiao ignored him though and instead continued having his way.
By round's end, Bradley's cheeks looked puffy.
The ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th round was all Pacquiao show, deciding the outcome running away. Pacquiao caught the running Badley unbalanced twice in the ninth.
Bradley threw more punches with 627 as against 563 by Pacquiao, but the Filipino landed more 198-141. Pacquiao threw 344 power punches though to Bradley's 340 connecting 39 more.
"No excuses," Bradley, who appeared in the delayed post-fight press conference wearing dark shades, told members of media. Manny's the better fighter tonight. He's a true champion."
"I lost tonight, but I will be back to the gym soon and be champion again," he declared amidst cheers from mediamen. "I respect him and his team, they did a good job in training."
Paquiao came to the presscon two hours late as he was to be stitched on his eyebrow which was cut due to an accidental head butt in the final round that needed 32 stitches.
Former Pacquiao sparring partner Ray Beltran ended up in the winning end of wild and woolly power exchanges with Arash Usmanee in scoring a unanimous decision triumph and went home with the vacant NABO lighweight title.
Throwing 464 power punches and landing 210 of them Beltran earned the nod of judges Glenn Feldman, 118-110, Burt Clemens, 117-11 and Dave Moretti, 117-111.
Local boy Jessie Vargas boxed his way to the World Boxing Association interim super-lightweight championship with a 12-round decision of Russian Khabib Allakhverdiev.
Abbreviated results marked three of the four opening bouts with Ukrainian light-heavyweight Oleksandr Gvozdyk opening his pro career with a bang, needing only 2 minutes and 55 seconds in disposing off Mike Montoya of Colorado Springs right in the first round.
Oscar Valdez of Mexico had Adrian Perez at the palm of his hands before knocking him out in 1:23 of the fourth to crown himself to win the NABF super-featherweight crown with Sean Monaghan doing the same o Joe McGreedy in 2:25 of the fifth in the 10-round curtain raiser. Esquiva Falcao of Viloria in Brazil cruised to his second victory as a pro by outpointing Pubilo Pena of Providence Island in a six-round middleweight bout. Bryan Vasquez outboxed Jose Felix in 12 rounds for the World Boxing Association super-featherweight scrap.

I'm dating/seeing this decent educated guy who is a total gentleman. He also said he is ready to settle down. He's 26, I'm 20. He was afraid I wasn't ready settle down at first whatever that means. We have went on four dates, two which included paying for stuff and he paid for both of them. We are both really busy so we keep in contact on the phone and text a lot when we don't see each other also. He now wants to take things a step forward I guess and he's inviting me over to his place. He says he is looking forward to cuddling with me and watching a movie. I'm afraid he is going to want a lot more than that though. I feel comfortable enough being close with him, trust him, and wouldn't mind taking things a step forward if the time is right. However, I don't want to mess anything up by going too fast. He really wants to show me his place and around his neighborhood so I want to go over, but after four dates is it okay to begin to get that close/take things further? If I feel the time is right when I go over to his house would that screw things up? I don't know how things will go when I go over but I'm just preparing myself for it if things do happen.

There is no set correct amount of time before you should be doing A, B or C. The correct amount of time is somewhere in the middle of where you are both comfortable. I'd say four dates is plenty of time to be going to his house. Also plenty of time for a cuddle on the couch. Humor him, go hang out with him at his house, and if things get hot, go with it until you don't want to. Just say "I'm not ready to go any further". That should be just fine. He should be happy he got somewhere, haha, at least feel like progress is being made. KERMIT, are you saying sex after date 3 is the general rule? Or, becoming physical at all is the general rule after 3 dates? That'd be a little quick for me and the last two serious relationships I had, they both tried a few times before we went all the way. I'd say it was about after dating for 6 weeks. Neither of them seemed frustrated with the wait. I'd say if a guy throws a fit about waiting, he's really only looking for a piece of tale from the get go.00|00|0

Cystic liver
For 6 yrs I had extreme abdominal pain. I was probably at my GPs office easy 100 Times in 1 year. I performed all the tests and had seen handfuls of doctors and Specialist. It felt like my my abdomen was literally being crushed. On the 7 yr I struggled to breath, was vomiting green, eyes turning yellow and was screaming in pain for 2 months I was told nothing wrong, I can't help you, muscle pull and drug addict. I didn't give up. I advocated for myself through education and networking I realized it was the cyst on the liver the whole time but no one believed me or they couldn't help. I emailed hepatolgist a Personal email and got a response same Day from dr Shiva Jayaraman from St. Joes Etobicoke. 4 months later I had surgery one 10 inch cyst was removed from liver. The remaining cysts feels like being stabbed With a cork screw and any pressure on abdomen increases pain but I can now function. My advise for people is to advocate for yourself and don't go on even the 10th opinion. I had my minister come to appointments so that could get referrals. Even some of the most highly recommended drs didn't believe me. Thanks Canadian Liver Foundation for education and dr Jayaraman and St. Joes 10 inches is a small baby.

Traders recognize these signals and make money shorting the metals alongside JPM. [He] explained how there are routine market manipulations at the time of option expiry, non-farm payroll data releases, and COMEX contract rollover, as well as the ad-hoc events."Shady business on Wall Street is not such a surprise, but still an outrage. Whether criminal or civil charges will really brought against JP Morgan Chase remains to be seen. On a Lighter Note . . . CPM Group's annual Silver Yearbook is out for 2010. The report highlights strong investment demand as the driving force behind rising silver prices in 2009 with investors buying 209.7 million ounces. "This was the third largest amount of annual net silver purchases on record, surpassed only by the 222.2 million ounces purchased in 1980 and the 226.0 million ounces estimated to have been added to investor holdings in 1968," said CPM in a news release. CPM is forecasting investment purchases of silver will total 213.9 million ounces in 2010. "Silver has definitely benefited strongly from the economic woes of the world," CPM Group's managing director Jeffrey Christian told Reuters. "Investors are looking at silver and saying: It's a good buy because I can buy it as a safe haven like gold, and if the economy does get better, it's an industrial play." Fabrication demand is also expected to rise 2.4 percent in 2010 to 631.2 million ounces on increased demand for electronics, flat-screen display panels, photography, solar panels, batteries, jewelry and silverware, amongst other industrial products. Mine production for 2010 is projected to rise 5 percent to 581.2 million ounces.

Indian media reports that Leader of the DMK, M. Karunanidhi has stated that he or his party will not take part in any function or special event organized by the Indian Central Government.
The reports further state that M. Karunanidhi has taken this decision as he is not satisfied with the way the Indian Central Government is handling the issues relating to the Tamil Population in Sri Lanka.
However, it is also reported that M. Karunanidhi has stated that it is not a reason for his party to leave the congress.
Meanwhile India's leading political commentator Cho Ramaswamy said "some political parties in Tamilnadu were using the Sri lankan tamil's issue to gain the votes from peoples.
He said there are some fringe groups like the MDMK agitating against the Sri Lankan government and they do not even have any influence or standing in Tamil Nadu politics.
According to Cho, though Vaiko's olitical party is more than a decade old, it is yet to cross the 2 per cent barrier in Tamil Nadu's electoral politics.
In the meantime He said dreams of political entities like MDMK to set up an independent Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka would always remain as a daydream.

Intelligent Design for Living
William Dembski believes in intelligent design, and who am I to knock him? I used to think there really were Vulcans.
Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the intelligent-designer who has everything? Fret not, as Dallas-based Foundation for Thought and Ethics this week unleashes mathematician William Dembski and biologist Jonathan Wells' book The Design of Life. Says Dembeski in the media release announcing the title's publication: "The Design of Life shows why the better arguments and stronger evidence are now on the intelligent design side." Oh-kay.
And while I will not buy the title, as I've already used my monthly book allowance on comics and porn, I'll certainly be happy to give it a whirl, should Aaron Cook at TimePiece PR & Marketing shoot me a copy. I mean, $35? I'm too intelligently designed to fork over that much scratch. But, no kiddin', if Dembski, who seems like a pretty thoughtful and reasonable and good-humored fellow, is good enough for Jon Stewart, well, who am I to argue? It's not like I'm a monkey, goddamnit. --Robert Wilonsky

Percy F Westerman
In the 'ripping yarns for boys' market, Percy F. Westerman is not a name which is now as well known as it should be: he is no Henty, Fenn or Haggard. In fact, I confess, before I was asked to look through another dead man's books recently his was not a name which would have been on any list I was compiling from memory. However, one of the great things about this business is that you never know what author is going to knock next on your door. This small collection of his books came from a recent purchase so I thought I had better find out a little about him. And was subsequently astonished...
Firstly I was astonished by his output. When I did some work on the Victorian novelist Richard Marsh recently, I thought that his about 80 novels put him in the category 'prolific' but even he fades to insignificance next to Westerman's 174 novels! All of them were boys stories, many about the sea and about scouting and consequently a lot about Sea Scouting! In the 1930s, he was possibly the most famous boys' author working.
Secondly I was astonished because he was a Portsmouth man. Not for all of his life but for the first 35 years he lived and worked here. Portsmouth has for the last few years been trying to play up its literary associations with figures like Dickens, Conan Doyle, Walter Besant, Neville Shute and so on... remarkable then that I never heard a single mention of Percy F Westerman who wrote probably more books than all of the above together.
Great books to look at too. The whole decorated boards thing was still just going in the first quarter of the 20th century and some of these, although often worn on the spine have some great, dramatic illustrations on the boards.

Hmm, nope. But i do have a book called "The Terror of the Noiseless Sound" by a John F.C. Westerman... mayhap a relation?
Also it's nice to see a gayer who is into these sorts of stories for proper reasons and not to either:
-Take the piss out of the old-fashioned language and customs and find homoeroticism that plainly isn't there
-Write lengthy, socialist rants about how these sorts of stories encouraged the imperialo-capitalist system and so should all be hunted down and burned in order to protect freedom.
PS-Please don't cause this writer to be remembered too quickly please. Forgotten = cheaper books!

Jurvetson Leading SpaceX Funding, Says Report
Venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson, of Draper Fisher Jurvetson, is the lead on a $60M venture capital round in Hawthorne-based SpaceX, the space rocket firm headed by Elon Musk, according to PE Week. SpaceX--which disclosed earlier this year via regulatory filing (and reported in socalTECH) that it had raised $15M out of $60M in a funding round--has Jurvetson listed as a member of its board. Jurvetson is a well known enthusiast for rockets.

Yoshimasa Morishita, also known as the Armadillo Orphnoch was the older brother of Chie Morishita, who Yuji Kiba had killed.
Morishita, intent on finding his sister's murderer pleaded Kiba to aid him, but Kiba refused out of regret. No sooner than that happened that Morishita was attacked by the Flyingfish Orphnoch and became a Sired Orphnoch.
Morishita was overcome by the powers he gained and went insane, going on a random killing spree after being offended by what others thought of his sister. Takumi Inui overcame his doubt in time and killed Morishita as Faiz with the Sparkle Cut.
Superhero Taisen
Armadillo Orphnoch revived as part of Dai-Shocker in the Super Hero Taisen incident, led by Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade, rivaling Captain Marvelous/Gokai Red and Dai-Zangyack. However, Rider Hunter Silva of Dai-Zangyack and Doktor G of Dai-Shocker overthrew their respective leaders and joined forces to destroy the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai. The two evil organizations united and faced off against the combined forces of the Sentai and Riders. During the final battle, he is seen fighting Fourze, V3, Shin and VulFalcon.
The Armadillo Orphnoch's costume is a modified version of the Elephant Orphnoch and then modified into the Elephant Orphnoch again without modifying his body in OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, then modified back again in Super Hero Taisen.

Stripe integration through API keys rather than signing into Stripe accountAsked by mktechstudios on May 09, 2016 at 03:18 PM
I have my client's Stripe API keys to integrate a Stripe donation form into his website. I don't have administrator access to his actual Stripe account.
In Jotform, the Stripe integration payment wizard shows a prompt to connect with Stripe. It won't allow moving to the next screen without entering the Stripe credentials.
I'd like to connect to Stripe using the API keys, as described in Step 2 of your post on how to integrate Stripe, but I can't get to this screen without first being prompted for the Stripe account credentials.
One way I was able to get to the API key screen was to enter my own credentials for my own Stripe account to get past that first prompt. Then I clicked the Previous button and this brought me to the API screen, but I'm not sure if entering my client's API keys in this way would work.
Please advise, thanks!
JotForm Support
I have forwarded your concern about missing integration via API keys option in our new Stripe setup UI to our developers.
Your form with client's API keys should work properly. Alternatively, it is possible to close the integration wizard, and then enter the API keys via field Properties.
ok cool, will use that method. Thank you very much for the speedy response.
JotForm Support
Since this is an older thread I opened a separate one for you and we will attend it shortly here.
Thank you!

He is Canadian actor who is recognized for his work as Dr. Nick Biancavilla in popular medical drama series named Strong Medicine which came till 2005. He also presented with some recurring performance on the 4400, UnREAL and Cedar Cove with the great story of achievement and success. He lives in Calgary, His father was the bank manager and mother was working in the finance company. He was the only child of his parents and later after their divorce, he started living with his paternal side grandmother. His ethnicity and nationality background is not known yet. His father originally belongs from Northern Ireland.
Elliott joined Julliard Academy for his study at prestigious Actors studio. He made his first screen presence in the music video during the year 1991 o the singer Tom Cochrane and the title of the song is Life is a Highway. He started the career with minor work and roles in early time. He later was offered the leading role in the Silencer in the year 1999. With the success of this movie, he was even offered for another film named G-Saviour in the year 2000.
He also worked exclusively on horror film named Cruse of Chucky and according to him, that was the most challenging role he had ever done. Similarly in 2014 film: Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb also holds the good position in a box office.
Moving to love life of Brennan, there is not any fact related to his relationship, affair, wife, and dating. His biography is absent in explaining his love life and married life. Working in Hollywood he has the good sum of fan following but it seems he has not got any perfect partner whom he can share his moment with. He has also not seen with any female celebrities of the town and additionally Elliott is away from the rumor about it.
Brennan has privatized personal information and away from responding media about his personal matter. This is also why he is doubted upon his sexuality still; the real fact has not been disclosed. Brennan loves tennis and he is a good player. He often travels in leisure time and his favorite destination is France. Before the beginning of a career, he also served as the waiter in the restaurant and served for few months. Elliott is a great personality and his reason behind professional success is a faith of his mother and sincerity from the early age.
Elliott looks attractive in pictures. His body features seem attention dragging. His height seems tall and weight seems balanced with height. With the professional success, he is also earning the good sum of salary and collecting an attractive amount of net worth. In the present context, he has collected thousands of American dollars and hoping for more in near future. He can be connected to twitter and his further information is available on Wikipedia.

Parallel refineMesh with Cyclic Boundaries
I want to make a really large block mesh with uniform grid resolution throughout and cyclic boundaries. When I say really large, I mean hundreds of millions or a billion cells. My machines do not have enough memory to run blockMesh and decomposePar, both of which are serial executable only.
Therefore, I have been experimenting with using blockMesh to make a coarse mesh, decomposing that, and then using refineMesh over the entire domain in parallel to refine each piece of the mesh to create the really large mesh. This makes the memory demands on blockMesh and decomposePar smaller. refineMesh is run in parallel, so memory is distributed over a lot of nodes making the job manageable.
The problem is when there are cyclic boundaries. refineMesh seems to not handle cyclic boundaries in parallel. Any suggestions on what I'm trying to do?
Greetings Matthew,
I'm sorry for not going into details, but here goes:
Good luck!
Hi, Matthew.
Even you can refine the mesh using 'refineMesh' with parallel computing, presumably you still need to construct the subdomains in the end using 'reconstructPar'. and this is not running in parallel either as far as I know.
I am also strugling with deomposing and reconstructing large mesh. So I am wondering that you have an alternative solution to deal with a large mesh? (apart from buying more memory).
In my case, I can use upto 35 million cells with 48gb memory.
A Working Method for Creating Large Meshes in Parallel
I do have a method that works now. I create a coarse mesh with blockMesh. Then I decompose the domain with decomposePar, making sure to list the cyclic boundaries in the "preservePatches" keyword. Then I run refineMesh or refineHexMesh in parallel until I get to the desired grid resolution. I do not have the computer memory to reconstruct the domain with reconstructPar. I deal with that by sampling slices, probes, etc. while the solver is running. If I really need to explore the full 3D flow field, Paraview's OpenFOAM reader will read in each processor directory and display the flow field as one contiguous field. You need to copy the system/controlDict to system/controlDict.foam. After you open Paraview, you choose the controlDict.foam file as the file to open, which invokes the OpenFOAM reader. Then you'll have the option to view the decomposed domain (where each processor directory is read in). If you have a very large domain that requires a lot of memory, then you can launch Paraview in parallel to spread the memory requirements over multiple compute nodes.
Thank you for quick response. and I also agree that will be a good solution.
I did a quick test as you suggested and I have a related question.
I decomposed a coarse mesh into subdomains and then I ran
topoSet -parallel (for local refinement)
setsToZones -noFlipMap -parallel
refineMesh -dict -parallel
upto here, there is no problem. Then I realized that the refined mesh is
generated in a new time step within subdomains, e.g.
This means that the mesh is refined and decomposed but the fields
(U, p etc) are not. they remain the same in the old time step folder. So I am
wondering if there is a way to refine fields together with mesh? I've tried
to use couple of options such as '-overwrite' but it hasn't been successful so far.
Thank you in advance
Yes, try using refineHexMesh. It is the newer refinement tool, and it will refine the solution fields, too. It's use is similar to refineMesh.
Thanks for your valuable comments.
I forgot to mention this.

Mallory, Mona, Adam, Jamale
Courtship was the Elizabethan version of dating. Courtship refers to a man and a woman before engagement or marriage. Courtship wasn't very popular in the middle and upper class; and also occurred in the lower class. Courtship wasn't very popular in the lower class. and dating are very different. Dating has no strings attached but courtship was the period between marriage where the couple got together. After a while they'd decide whether or not they wanted to get married.

Heading up a site that profiles lots of other people's impressions of other countries is definitely a fun thing to do even if you don't get to speak about what you'd like to get out of travel too much.
Today is an exception to that rule. I've decided to hijack the blog to shed a bit more of a spotlight on Northern Europe, and, specifically, Scandinavia, in order to share some of my thoughts about one country in particular that's always had me pretty captivated.
Sitting a fair way to the north of my native England it's not too far to reach either. Not to be confused with its supermarket namesake, I'm talking about an Iceland that's famous for being in movies where landscapes are of the essence. Not frozen food.
So here are my five main reasons I want to go to the land of ice and snow.
And, just so that you know in advance, you'll find that these have little to do with stocking out my freezer and everything to do with adventure.
Svartifoss Waterfall
We've had a fair bit written about waterfalls on the site but nothing really seems to compare to that of the amusingly-named Svartifoss Waterfall, located in Skafatell National Park in the east of the country.
Translating (less-amusingly) as Black Fall, it's the lava columns, coloured a deep shade of black, that I guess give this place its name and make it one heck of a stunning-looking site.
Northern Lights
Seeing the Northern Lights has long been on my list of things to see while travelling ever since I was a young kid reading Philip Pullman and wondering what they were really all about.
Now knowing a lot more, that the aurora borealis are not only visible in Iceland but many other places too, I'm still keen on seeing this phenomenon of physics in the night sky.
The result of electrons colliding with the Earth's atmosphere, it seems only fitting a place as stunning as Iceland let me in to witness even more natural splendor.
Although I'm pretty wary of the prospect of getting up close and personal with a smoking, smoldering volcano, I feel as if at least once, in my life, I should face the fear and do it anyway.
Besides, what better way to understand how one of nature's greatest phenomenon's can bring a whole region of the world's transport infrastructure to a standstill and drive many people crazy for weeks on end?
Thank you Eyjafjallajökull. Not just for how difficult you are to pronounce but also for what a humble reminder of the awesome might of nature you served us back in 2010.
The fact that some of Iceland's volcanoes could erupt at any moment makes a trip to the country even more exciting.
Let's just hope I'm not nearby.
Icelandic People
Apart from being tall, attractive and few and far between, Icelandic people have always interested me ever since I had the pleasure of having known quite a few from my studies and travels.
From my favourite bands like Sigur Ros and Mum, to iconic figures like Bjork and Eidur Gudjonsen, Icelandic people strike me as a pretty eclectic bunch, into the arts, progressive-minded and free-thinking.
Getting to know a lot more of them, whether it's jostling for space in a Reykjavik bar or sharing Harðfiskur (that strange dried fish I've heard much about), is definitely part on my agenda.
This is quite a strange one but I actually really like puffins. Much better than I do penguins (which Iceland doesn't have thankfully).
But if there's ever a reason to check out a cute creature of nature then the puffins of Dyrholaey, a peninsula in the south of the country, are definitely up there in terms of being a top drawer.
I've also heard that they make pretty good burgers too. Although I imagine that eating them might be a tough prospect after seeing them nest and frolic around the basalt hills. Not for the fashion designed Giles Deacon however, who seemingly has no problem eating these beauties.

Japan's stunning upset of rugby superpowers South Africa is proof the gap is closing between the haves and the have nots, further enforcing why the Wallabies won't take Fiji and Uruguay lightly.
At the World Cup, any game is a potential banana skin.
Wallabies coach Michael Cheika says his squad, who face Fiji in their opener in Cardiff on Wednesday (Thursday morning AEST) before backing up against Uruguay on Sunday, won't make the mistake of letting their thoughts wander to the big Pool A matches against England and Wales which follow.
"What we saw from (Japan's win is) if you take your eye off the ball for a minute, you will get pounded," Cheika said on Sunday.
"I am certainly not going to take my eye off the ball.
"That's the thing about rugby, it's a very humbling game.
"You do well in one scrum and you knock off in another and you'll get turned up; you carry strong once but if you don't carry strong the next time someone will pick you up and dump you."
As a close friend of Japan coach Eddie Jones, who guided the Wallabies to the 2003 World Cup final, Cheika took particular delight in Saturday's monumental upset.
Not least of all because it highlighted the growing strength in tier-two nations, and followed on from Georgia's surprise victory over Tonga earlier on Saturday.
"As professionalism gets a little more mature, all team are coming here with a goal," Cheika added.
"Not every team's goal might be to win the tournament, but all teams are coming with an objective.
"No-one is coming here to participate only.
"Most people probably thought Tonga would beat Georgia, but Georgia came with a goal.
"A team aligned with a goal is a very dangerous beast."
One thing is certain – Cheika is confident there isn't a hint of complacency among his playing group when it comes to shaping up against Fiji.
"I don't think that's in our team. I would sniff that straight away," he said.
Aside from the hours of opposition footage which the coaching staff pore over before dissecting for the playing group to devour, the Wallabies are familiar with several key Fijians – notably ex-Waratahs pair Ben Volavola and giant winger Nenami Nadolo.
"Many of our players have been run around or run over or head on tackled by one of them at some stage, so everyone knows (what they're capable of)," Cheika said.

Open Letter - Now With A Fist Full of Footnotes (And Alliteration!)
Dear Guy Who Is Clearly Losing the War With Male Pattern Baldness That Was Walking Down Main Street Today In A Sweatshirt That Featured a Smiling Hokie Bird Holding Up A Foam Finger:
Let me start by apologizing for my dog. She's a dog. She's a big dog. She's a big dog that stands at approximately crotch height. When you came up to pet her today, I apologize that my crotch-heighted* dog leaned her body against your legs and may have zealously sniffed what my best friend in the seventh grade once referred to as "Man Land," capital M, capital L** Unfortunately we have a very liberal crotch-sniffing policy in my house and the poor thing simply didn't know any better. I personally blame the school system and violence in the media.
What I did think was a little unnecessary, Mr. Number One Hokie Fan, was when you gave me an unshakably icy stare and said, even after I apologized profusely, "Maybe you should watch where you walk your dog." When it was clear that no amount of apologizing would make things comfortable again, three fairly nasty phrases came to my head too fast for me to sort through which one would have been the most scathing:
"Maybe you should lay off the steak-scented Summer's Eve."
"Maybe you should fear my ninja moves bitch."
"Maybe you should watch where you walk your balls."
In retrospect, this last one is my favorite because it really makes absolutely no sense and when paired with a completely deadpan expression and the people's eyebrow, I think it could really say Just try and argue with THAT logic. I majored in philosophy suckah. Unfortunately, I didn't say any of those things. I just looked directly into your eyes and started laughing, not at you, but at the idea of steak-scented Summer's Eve...because that's utterly ridiculous. When I walked away giggling and you walked away in a huff, it seemed that we both got what we deserved.
See you around,
* Oh that is so not a real word
** I also have several notes from that era of my life in which he refers to that area as "the bone yard," "Penistown: Population 1," and "the meat packing district." All of those phrases look hilarious when scrawled in pink pen on pre-algebra worksheets.

Top 10 Biggest Technology Flops
4. Go: Here's another tech blunder of the early 90's: Go attempted to recreate the power of Windows and the Mac on a tablet computer. Go was founded by Jerry Kaplan, who was also responsible for one of the most brilliant albeit misunderstood products everLotus Agenda. The company developed the PenPoint OS, which subsequently powered AT&T's stillborn EO Personal Communicator. Go's solution was elegant, compact and, unfortunately, a threat to Microsoft. Back in the pre-antitrust days, Microsoft felt free to run roughshod over every company that posed even a minor threat. Go was crushed. You can read about the debacle in Kaplan's book Startup: A Silicon Valley Adventure Story.
5. LAN Manager: Microsoft's initial attempt to crush Big Redaka Novellwas a blistering failure. The LAN Manager server software was slow, unstable and hard to install, while the bloated client software used arcane terms and curious conventions to connect. Even worse, local area networks were just beginning to be wired togetheracross buildings and around the worldbut LAN Manager was built around Netbuei, a non-routable protocol.
6. IBM Micro Channel: Want to know why IBM PCs and the much-loved ThinkPad line of laptops are now made by Lenovo? Prior to 1987, all "IBM compatible" PC computers shared a common bus, which meant that modems, sound cards, video cards and other add-ins worked together seamlessly across machines from Compaq, Zeos, Dell, and IBM. IBM was chagrined: It created the standard, but didn't own it. MIcroChannel was the company's attempt to wrest control of the PC market away from those other upstarts. Today, Dell is the worldwide leader in PC shipments, followed by HP (who jumped on the train late but held on for dear life). IBM now, for the most part, sells consulting services and new-age mainframe systems.Continue reading more of our Top 10 Technology Flops story >
