The Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) is actually a printer management tool, and thus monitoring CUPS always remains a very essential activity to to make the best use of the resources available. Monitoring CUPS will allow us to take action quickly should something go wrong.
Using the lpstat Command
The lpstat command displays the status of the CUPS service, printers, classes, and jobs. It supports a number of options. If the command is used without any options, it displays the job queues for the current user:
cupstest-3 kajol 8192 Tue Aug 05 13:24:43 2008
cupstest-4 kajol 8192 Tue Aug 05 13:25:34 2008
To check whether the CUPS server is running, use the -r option.
$lpstat -r
scheduler is running
$lpstat -d
system default destination: cupsclass
The above command gives information about the default destination printer or class. The output following the command shows that the default destination of the system is cupsclass.
$lpstat -c cupsclass
This shows the printer class and the member printers belonging to that class. If a particular class is not specified, then the output shows all classes along with their member printers.
members of class cupsclass:
$lpstat -v cupsprinter2
The command above will show the device to which cupsprinter1 is attached. If no printers are specified, then the output will list all printers along with device-uri information.
device for cupsprinter2: ipp://cupsserver.cupsgroup.org/printers/cupsprinter2
$lpstat -s
This shows a status summary for all printers and classes on the network. The summary includes the default destination, a list of classes and their member printers, and a list of printers and their associated devices. The output is equivalent to using the -d, -c, and -v options simultaneously.
system default destination: cupsclass
members of class cupsclass:
device for cupsprinter1: lpd://192.168.0.11/printers/cupsprinter1
device for cupsprinter2: ipp://cupsserver.cupsgroup.org/printers/cupsprinter2
$lpstat -a
This command shows if printers are currently accepting jobs. If no printers are specified, then it will list all printers.
cupsprinter1 accepting requests since Mon 16 Jun 2008 02:28:14 PM IST
cupsprinter2 accepting requests since Wed 18 Jun 2008 11:07:23 AM IST
$lpstat -p cupsprinter1
This shows whether the printer cupsprinter1 is enabled and if it is currently printing a job. If no printers are specified then all the printers are listed.
printer cupsprinter1 is idle. enabled since Mon 16 Jun 2008 02:28:14 PM IST
$lpstat -o
This shows the job queues on the specified destinations. If no destinations are specified then all jobs are shown.
$lpstat -t
This displays status information for all printers, which is equivalent to using the -r, -d, -c, -v, -a, -p, and -o options.
scheduler is running
system default destination: cupsclass
members of class cupsclass:

Printer is now on-line.
cupsprinter2-5711 kajol 1449984 Wed 18 Jun 2008 03:12:55 PM IST
$lpstat -l
This command displays printers, classes, or jobs in a long list.
$lpstat -u
This shows a list of print jobs queued by the specified users. If no users are specified, it lists the jobs queued by the current user.
cupsprinter2-5711 kajol 1449984 Wed 18 Jun 2008 03:12:55 PM IST
$lpstat -h 192.168.0.11:631
The above command specifies an alternative server for CUPS. It uses the port number that is specified along with the server. If no port is specified, then it will connect to the default port 631.
$lpstat -U username
You can specify an alternative username with the -U option
$lpstat -R : $lpstat -W all
This shows the ranking of print jobs.
This command specifies which jobs to show, complete, incomplete (the default), or all. This option must appear before the -o option and any printer names:
$lpstat -W completed -o cupsprinter2
The output will be as follows
cupsprinter2-5709 kajol 483328 Wed 18 Jun 2008 03:10:45 PM IST
cupsprinter2-5710 kajol 97280 Wed 18 Jun 2008 03:12:18 PM IST

$lpstat -E
This command forces encryption when connecting to a print server.
Overview of the access_log File
The access_log file lists each HTTP resource that is accessed by a web browser or a CUPS/IPP client. The file contains the lines specified in the following log format, which is an extension of the Common Log Format used by many web servers and web reporting tools.
The "Common Log Format" is a standardized text file format used by web servers while generating log files. As the format is standardized, the files may be analyzed by a variety of analysis programs.
The syntax of the access_log file is :
host group user date-time "method resource version"
status bytes iPP-operations ipp-status
- Hostname: The host field contains the IP address or hostname that can be seen if the "HostNameLookups" directive is enabled in the cupsd.conf file.
- Groupname: The value always remains "-" for the group field.
- Username: The user field is the authenticated username of the requesting user. If no authenticated username is supplied for the request, then this field contains "-".
- Time of printing: The date-time field refers to the date and time of the request in local time. Here, the "local time" denotes the time of the print server.
- Method: The method field is the HTTP method used (GET,OPTIONS,PUT,POST, and so forth).
- GET: These requests are used to get files from the server, both for the web interface and for the configuration and log files.
- OPTIONS: These requests are used to upgrade connections to TLS encryption.
- PUT: These requests are used to upload the configuration files.
- POST: These requests are used for web interface forms and IPP requests.
- Resource: The resource field records the filename of the requested resource.
- Version: The version field is the HTTP specification version used by the client. The value is always "HTTP/1.1" for CUPS clients.
- Status: The status gives the HTTP result status of the request. Usually, the status code is 200, which suggests an OK status. If the code is 401, then it suggests Unauthorized Access. The following are some of the Status Codes along with their meaning:
- 200: This status code denotes successful operation, which means OK status.
- 201: This denotes that a file has been created or modified successfully.
- 304: The code 304 suggests that the requested file has not changed.
- 400: This means Bad HTTP request, as in some malicious program is trying to access your server.
- 401: The code 401 means there has been an attempt at Unauthorized Access. The correct login information (username + password) is required to authenticate.
- 403: This code refers to Access is forbidden, which means that a client tried to access a resource or file for which they did not have permission.
- 404: The code 404 denotes that the requested file or resource does not exist.
- 405: This code means the URL access method is not allowed. It means a web browser is using the server as a proxy.
- 413: This means that the request is too large. It occurs when the client tries to print a file larger than the MaxRequestSize allows.
- 426: A server may indicate that a client request cannot be completed without TLS using the Upgrade Required status code, which must include an upgrade header field specifying the token of the required TLS version
- 500: This code denotes that there is a server error. The log for the error can be checked in the server's error_log file.
- 501: The client has requested encryption, but the encryption support is not enabled on the server.
- 505: The given HTTP version number is not supported, which normally happens when some malicious program is trying to access your server.
- You can get more information about these status codes at: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html
- Size in bytes: The bytes field contains the number of bytes in the request. For POST requests, the bytes field contains the number of bytes that were received from the client.
- IPP Operations: The ipp-operation field denotes the the name of the CUPS-IPP operation that performed the POST request. The value for the description of CUPS-IPP operation is given here:
Operation Name
Print a file
Validate job attributes
Create a print job
Send a file for a print job

- IPP status: The ipp-status field denotes the IPP-status code name for the POST requests. The value for this field will be "-" for non-IPP requests. With each IPP operation, a number of IPP statuses are possible. The default information can be found at the following URL:
Here are the example lines from an access_log file:
192.168.0.35 - - [18/Jun/2008:10:46:37 +0530]
/admin HTTP/1.1" 401 0 - -
192.168.0.33 - -

192.168.5.19 - - [05/Jun/2008:17:46:04
"POST /printers/ HTTP/1.1" 200
Overview of the error_log File
The error_log file displays messages from the scheduler such as "warnings", "errors", and so on:
- Level: The level field contains the type of message:
A: Alert message (LogLevel alert)
C: Critical error message (LogLevel crit)
D: Debugging message (LogLevel debug)
d: Detailed debugging message (LogLevel debug2)
E: Normal error message (LogLevel error)
I: Informational message (LogLevel info)
N: Notice message (LogLevel notice)

X: Emergency error message (LogLevel emerg)
- Time of Printing: The date-time field contains the date and time when the page started printing. The format of this field is identical to the data-time field in the page_log file.
- Message: This field contains free-form textual messages. In the following examples of the error_log files, the last field contains messages of this type.
The syntax for the error_log file is level date-time message.
The following are the some examples of entries in the error_log file :
I [05/Jun/2008:15:23:46 +0530] Job 224 queued on 'cupsprinter' by 'hritik'.

How SNMP Helps Search for Network Printers
Most of the network printers that CUPS uses, use one of these three TCP/IP-based protocols:
- AppSocket
- Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
- Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
Now apart from these protocols, CUPS also uses another networking protocol—SNMP that is used to search for networked printers. In future, CUPS will support other networking protocols such as multicast DNS service for the same purpose. First, we will discuss how the configuration of SNMP is done within CUPS (/etc/cups/snmp.conf), and then we will check how it actually works in the web interface. Before we start discussing the snmp.conf file, let us see the some of the key terms related to the file.
The SNMP stands for "Simple Network Management Protocol" and consists of three key components:
- Managed Devices: A managed device is a node that has an SNMP agent, and resides on a managed network. These devices can be routers and access servers, switches, bridges, hubs, computer hosts, or printers.
- Agents: An agent is a software module residing within a device. This agent translates information into a format compatible with SNMP
- Network-Management Systems (NMS): An NMS runs monitoring applications, which provide the bulk of processing and memory resources required for network management.
Overview of snmp.conf
Since CUPS is a printer management system working on networking protocols, SNMP will be an integral part of the CUPS system. The configuration file snmp.conf resides in /etc/cups, and contains various directives, which determine the behavior of the SNMP printer discovery backend. The file contains the directive name followed by its value. The number sign "#" is used to specify the comments.
Currently, the SNMPv1 protocol is being used by the SNMP backend to discover network printers in CUPS and help to determine the correct device URI and the vendor, and the driver of each printer. IT expects that the future release of CUPS will have support for all SNMP versions including, SNMPv2, v2c, and v3.
SNMP actually collects information from the MIB (Management Information Base) host along with port probes to get this information. It is expected that, in future, CUPS will start supporting the new Port monitor MIB as well. The following are some of the key definitions related to MIB.
MIB stands for Management Information Base, which is a collection of information organized hierarchically. It is accessed using a protocol such as SNMP. There are two types of MIBs:
- Scalar: Scalar objects define a single object instance.
- Tabular: Tabular objects define multiple related object instances grouped in MIB tables.
This directive specifies a broadcast address to be used when discovering printers. We can also specify multiple address lines to scan different subnets.
The following examples show various values that can be given along with this directive. The value @LOCAL denotes broadcasting across all LANs. The value @LOCAL is also the default value for this directive, while @IF broadcasts to the named interface. You can also provide the broadcast address or the IP address with the directive for which broadcasting needs to be done.
Address @LOCAL
Address @IF(name)
Address 255.255.255.255
Address 192.168.0.255
The directive Community is used to specify a community name that can be used while discovering printers. The default value for this directive is public. You can specify multiple lines to scan different SNMP communities.
Community public
Community cupsgrp
Community packtpub
The DebugLevel directive denotes the specified debugging level to be used when searching for network printers. This directive can have four debugging levels. It starts from 0 and ends with 3:
DebugLevel 0
DebugLevel 1
DebugLevel 2
DebugLevel 3
In the above example:
Level 0: It is used to disable debugging, and hence does not produce any debugging information. It is also the default level of debugging.
Level 1: It generates basic debugging information.
Level 2: It also prints the SNMP messages along with the basic debugging information.
Level 3: This level adds a hexadecimal code dump of the network data.
The directive DeviceURI is used to specify a regular expression, which is enclosed in double quotes. This URI is checked with the SNMP device description OID returned by a printer.
OID stands for Object Identifier. These uniquely identify the objects managed in the MIB hierarchy. This hierarchy can be depicted as a tree, the levels of which are assigned by different organizations.
If the given description matches the regular expression, the CUPS backend will list each of the device URIs that follow by regular expression.
The following are some examples that show DeviceURI directives along with the regular expression and the actual device URI.
Please note that here any occurrence of %s is replaced by the device's IP address or hostname. Here xx, yyy, and zzzz are a part of the regular expressions. We can use the make and model of the printer for these.
If no URIs are listed within this directive, then the requested device will be ignored. These directives are processed serially in the order specified in the snmp.conf file, until a match is found. The following are some of the examples of the directive:
DeviceURI "xx.*" socket://%s
DeviceURI "*LaseJet.*" socket://%s:9100 socket://%s:9101
DeviceURI "yyy.*"
DeviceURI "zzzz.*Desk.*" lpd://%s/printer
This directive is used to specify whether the printer addresses are converted to hostnames, or remain as numeric IP addresses. The default value for this directive is off.
HostNameLookups off
HostNameLookups on
The MaxRunTime directive specifies the maximum time (in seconds) spent by the SNMP backend searching for printers across the network. As the following example shows, it can contain any integer value. The default value for this directive is 10 seconds.
MaxRunTime 10
MaxRunTime 480
In this article, we have covered the usage of lpstat Command. We also learnt about snmp.conf in detail, got an overview of the access_log file and error_log file.

Pumas smash Eagles
The bonus-point win was vital for the Pumas as they try to prevent the EP Kings from getting too far away from them at the top of the log. The Kings temporarily stretched their lead to 13 points with their victory the previous evening over the Valke, but the Mpumalanga side ensured the gap returned to eight points at the end of the 10th of 14 rounds of league play.
If the match had been overseen by the police rather than referee Joey Salmans, the Pumas might have been charged with assault with intent to cause grevious bodily harm as they steamrolled the Eagles, a dominant pack and their powerful runners in the backline running amok.
Flank Jaco Bouwer scored a hat-trick of tries and wing Wilhelm Loock crossed twice in the space of four minutes either side of halftime. Flyhalf JC Roos also kicked with tremendous composure and accuracy as he succeeded with all nine of his conversion attempts and replacement lock Christo le Roux kicked the 10th just for good measure.
The Pumas began on the right note as Bouwer scored in the first minute and a second try by centre Jerome Pretorius gave them a 14-3 lead after the first quarter.
The home side's tight five were in firm control and the Pumas' loose trio capitalised with Uzair Cassiem and Bouwer scoring tries in the 24th and 32nd minutes respectively, before Loock was able to make good ground down the left and score just three minutes before the break.
Two penalties from fullback Elric van Vuuren were all the Eagles had to show from the first half, but they can take some credit for battling on gamely right until the final whistle and they scored three tries in the second half.
Loock showed that he can turn on the after-burners as he scored straight from the second-half restart and, given the flood of scoring that saw the Pumas grab four tries in the previous 17 minutes, it must have felt like years for the 2 000 home supporters before they crossed the tryline again in the 58th minute through lock Nqubeko Zulu.
Roos converted to stretch the lead to 49-6, prompting the Eagles to bring on most of their bench and they did have an impact, relatively speaking of course.
A try by replacement hooker Wayne Khan cut the deficit to 13-49 with Van Vuuren's conversion, before Pumas star Bouwer found the space to barge over for his hat-trick try in the 69th minute.
Centre JW Jonker also found the gap to score six minutes later, but the Eagles had the reserves and the determination to score twice in the closing stages, the impressive Van Vuuren grabbing tries to give him a tally of 22 points from the match.
But the Pumas fittingly had the final say as replacement wing Ashwin Scott scooted over in the corner for their 10th and final try.
Ford Pumas – Tries: Jaco Bouwer (3), Jerome Pretorius, Uzair Cassiem, Wilhelm Loock (2), Nqubeko Zulu, JW Jonker, Ashwin Scott. Conversions: JC Roos (9), Christo le Roux.
SWD Eagles – Tries: Wayne Khan, Elric van Vuuren (2). Conversions: Van Vuuren (3). Penalties: Van Vuuren (2).

The pollution in this photo is the chemicals and other liquid waste that autoshop discharges from their area. It is point pollution.
Pollution of these types is typically found in industrial areas, as well as around similar autoshop facilities.
This interferes with ecosystem services by polluting the soil it touches, making it much less effective at sustaining life. Animals might walk through it and touch bodies of water, contaminating them as well.
Organisms can become sick from ingesting these pollutants, or nauseous from smelling them. The pollution in this picture is the water running out of the PV Pond onto the sidewalk. It would be considered liquid point pollution.
This type of pollution can be found anywhere that water is being wasted, such as broken water mains or overflowing watering systems.
It interferes with ecosystem services by preventing organisms that can actually use the water, such as the fish in the pond or plants, from using it. These organisms may then die or become ill due to dehydration fro the lack of water. Pollution Around PVHS Campus This pollution is a generic piece of trash
within throwing distance of a trashcan. It represents solid non-point pollution.
This pollution is commonly found near, in, or
around trashcans and in cities.
This pollution interferes with natural capital
by detracting from the view of the environment and polluting any surface it happens to drift on.
Potentially, this trash could harm organisms
by landing on plants and blocking their sun, flying to a sewer and ending up in a water supply. By: Kayla,Heather,Abdel Plastic Bag
Interferes in the road and cars. Clogging draining systems.
Non-point pollution & solid
Streets, roads, water
Animals might mistake it for food. Ex. - the turtle Green House Work Cited The greenhouse releases greenhouse gasses such as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) , CH4( Methane), N2O (Nitrous Oxide) daily. This is atmosphere pollution of a point form.
This pollution comes from many
sources, this is just one of them.
It doesn't interfere directly with
ecosystem services, but over time these gases accumulate to further global climate change.
Global climate change, an effect of
these gases, has the potential to kill or damage many hundreds of ecosystems worldwide. http://epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/ So hat are greenhouse gasses?
Gases that trap heat in the atmosphere The pollution in this image is the decomposing concrete of this walkway. It is solid point pollution.
Typically, this sort of pollution can be found anywhere there is concrete, to varying degrees of severity.
This decomposing concrete interferes with this ecosystem's services by intermixing with the natural soil of the area; plants that proceed to be planted here will miss out on nutritional soil that is displaced by the concrete.
Bigger chunks of concrete could pin down plants that were trying to grow. The pollution in this image is the fertilizer
that has been spread on top of this grass seed and dirt area. It is a form of solid point pollution.
This pollution is found at home improvement
stores and in the fields that it is harvested from in the form of manure. It interferes with natural capital by preventing students from standing under the nearby tree and releasing an unpleasant odor into the air.
Potentially, this fertilizer could harm birds
that try to peck at the grass seeds underneath, over-fertilize the soil for future plants, and be so weighty that the grass underneath would have a hard time growing. The pollution in this picture is the fence
separating the PV Pond from the rest of the school. It would be considered solid point pollution.
This type of pollution is found many places,
but it is mostly justified by the reason of protection. It interferes with ecosystem services by cutting the areas that would usually be enjoyed off from the organisms that would ordinarily use them.
Humans and other medium sized animals are
affected by this pollution.

Eric Bristow: The Autobiography : The Crafty Cockney Paperback
by Eric Bristow
ERIC BRISTOW MBE is considered to be the greatest darts player of all time.
He was an unmistakable figure on the oche during his 1980s heyday, and became renowned not just for the number of world titles he won but for his arrogance on stage and off it. In this candid account Bristow reveals how darts proved a salvation from his early life as a cat burglar, shoplifter and thug, introducing him to a new world of beer, babes and undreamed of success. And in his rapid rise to the top he gives fascinating insights into the characters that pioneered darts in those early days and how, when his own career began to slide at the end of the decade, he trained his protege Phil 'The Power' Taylor, turning him into the most successful player darts has ever known. Bristow holds nothing back as he reveals his battle with dartitis, a psychological condition which left him unable to let go of the dart and almost destroyed his career; his relationship with girlfriend and former women's world darts champion Maureen Flowers; and his occasional all-too-public falls from grace.
Bristow's life story is a thrill-a-minute ride through the raucous world of darts and how it has helped to shape and drive his life over the past forty years.

For anyone who has been involved in an accident involving a commercial truck, large or small, the outcome can be devastating. In many instances, the injuries sustained from a truck accident can be far more devastating than accidents involved with other types of vehicles. This type of accident involving a large truck may require the injured party to pursue very costly medical treatments and could leave them unable to return to work or school for months or even years. This type of accident can have far reaching consequences emotionally and financially; leaving the injured person(s) without the means of making medical payments, mortgage or even obtaining everyday household necessities.
If you need help in recovering from injuries and property loss or are financially burdened following a truck accident, it can be hard to know where to look or ask for information regarding your rights and options. T.A.H.C. and its Advocates have created this resource (website) to help truck accident victims find all the information they may need in one convenient place.
People who have been involved in a truck accident are often left with questions and concerns regarding a variety of different possibilities regarding their situation. Here, we have compiled the following pages that contain important information for truck accident victims and their families:
We hope the information on our website will provide you with answers you need. If you have additional questions or concerns regarding your accident or someone you know who was involved in a trucking accident, which may include; who is responsible for my medical payments, who is going to help pay for my financial responsibilities since I cannot work and many other questions. Contact us directly here by filling out our Contact Form or by calling our toll free number 1.888.898.0639. Someone who cares will be in touch with you shortly and will work towards helping you in answering your questions and concerns.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Tennessee Titans and NFL Talk' started by Riverman, Jan 31, 2013.
"a little dysfunctional"
understatement of the year
We were 5-3 when we got Randy, and you tell me that you can't find anywhere for him on the field with Britt. Also, if he was not 100 percent, at least sign him for one more year to give him time to recover and an offseason to put in some packages for him and Britt. Hell, we needed him the next year bc Britt went down for the season, and we were one game from the playoffs.
Today the Titan Defenders (aka morning radio 104.5 the zone with Wycheck Mark Howard and the other guy) all said Randy Moss is an idiot. That all he would run was fly routes and curls, he won't go over the middle, that's why he didn't play because Heimi said Moss wouldn't run his plays. But was it a good decision to bring in Moss even though we didn't play him? Of course, because he was a good lockerroom presence for our young players. That Moss and Fisher are cool it was just Moss thinking the other coaches blackballed him- that is what led to the "he's an idiot" comments because they were like well Fisher was maybe playing good cop but he definitely was fine with what the assistants were doing and MOss is an idiot for not figuring that out.
Damn, I really hate that show. They are the biggest Titans apologists imaginable.
Randy could of been a valuable asset here... but Fisher got in the way.
until he took an arrow to the knee.

For tlp0, the answer seems to be yes, while | for ex0, the answer seems to be no (with the kernel as written today). The problem is that link status is not really one of the exported attributes of net interfaces (though one would really assume that it should be) - so there's no spec on just what drivers should do. Consequently, they do almost anything. Another consequence of this is that SNMP on NetBSD (perhaps other *BSD) uses the IFF_RUNNING flag for "administratively up" and IFF_UP for "operationally up", which is total nonsense. IFF_UP is what should be admin up, operationally up is the link status - but there's no standard way to get that one. IFF_RUNNING has absolutely nothing to do with any of this (and, for example, on lo0, never gets set, so snmp can show the interface as "administratively down, operationally up" which should be a transitory state at best). The net interface API needs a whole bunch of work. kre

This is a guest post from my best buddy Butch McKinley.
The alarm just went off for the 12 year old living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. A court just said "Why don't you just shove it up your ass, Buddy!!!??? This is 'Murica! Land of the free and home of the brave. Yer about to fuck up the computer industry, the IT business, kill off engineering and in general make trouble for large numbers of businesses! So just fold your executive order up carefully with no sharp edges sticking out to cut your sphincter and park it in your ascending Colon!"
Best ruling I've ever read!
And now you know how I got bandicated (another word for 86'd) off FB.
Yer Pal,

AFTER more than 30 years, Nestlé is to end its sponsorship of the Pro Plan/Dog World Pup of the Year competition.
The company wrote to championship show secretaries last week telling them: "As part of our planning for 2015 we have finalised a review of our marketing strategy… This means making some difficult decisions, the most significant of which is to withdraw from the Pro Plan/Dog World Pup of the Year competition."
The company says it will honour its commitment for 2014 which includes sponsorship of the final, due to be held at Crewe Hall in February.
The statement from Nestlé says: "We remain committed to the breeder community which has seen our support increase significantly year on year. We are simply choosing to manifest that support in different ways.
"We are planning to attend a greater number of championship shows and to support show societies and breeders with new approaches, soon to be announced."
DOG WORLD managing director Stuart Baillie said: "We are obviously very disappointed that such a long-standing relationship is coming to an end and we were only told about Nestlé's decision at the same time as the championship show secretaries, so we have had very little time to consider where we take the Pup of the Year competition from here.
"We are committed to working to maintain a contest which recognises the best young dogs coming through and over the next couple of weeks will be looking to find a way to allow that to happen."

"It's a Christmas poem. Twas The Night Before Christmas. I downloaded it from the internet."
Misty, in "The Night Before Christmas"
What is Yuletide?
Yuletide is a fanfic exchange event that started on LiveJournal in 2003. The original Yuletide was for obscure fandoms, but its popularity eventually led to people creating fandom-specific events, regardless of whether or not they're obscure.
And here we are! Welcome to the Serebii Yuletide, a cross-forum fanfiction exchange event between Shipping Fics and Fan Fiction. The concept of a Yuletide is pretty simple: sign up, write a story of at least 1000 words for someone else, and get a story in return. Who you'll get to write for is a complete mystery. Will you be writing a shipping fic? Will you be writing gen (non-shipping fic)? What characters will you be writing about? Who knows, and that's half the fun! The other half, of course, is the receiving!
How does it work?
During the sign-up phase (now to October 8), participants will submit forms (see below) via email (firstname.lastname@example.com) to mods. Mods will collect these until sign-ups close, at which point all the profiles will be mixed up and matched (based on the Recipient part of each profile) in order to create author-recipient pairs. Assignments (the second half of the profile) will be sent out to participants via PM, and from that point onward, the event's in your hands, writers.
During the writing phase (October 15 to December 15), writers will be expected to hammer out at least 1000 words for their assignment. (See rules for further details.) Every two weeks, there will also be check-in posts to ensure that everyone's still on task, and yes, you should respond to them. Writers who complete their assignments, meanwhile, will send us their stories via email (firstname.lastname@example.com), just like in contests.
On December 16, we enter what's known as Yuletide Madness, a week-long event wherein we take a look at which requests have yet to be filled. Then, we post all of the unfilled prompts publicly at once to ensure that everyone gets a fanfic on Christmas morning. If you're a writer whose prompt is posted, you'll want to contact a mod immediately to let them know your status so your prompt can be taken down. If you see a prompt you'd like to fill, however, contact a mod to claim it.
On December 23, the writing phase closes, and all fics are due.
That leaves us with the reveal phase. This happens on December 25. Throughout the course of the event, all stories we receive will be uploaded to a folder on Google Drive and renamed after the recipient. On Christmas morning, this folder will be made public, and recipients will be able to access and comment on their stories via Google Drive's commenting system.
Unlike last year, author reveals will not happen this time around. Instead, a full list of stories and their authors will go up Christmas morning, in both this thread and its sister thread in the other forum. This is so folks have the option to cross-post their fics to their respective forums in time for their communitys respective awards.
Once reveals are up, authors are then allowed (and encouraged!) to post their work in the appropriate forumshipping fics to Shipping Fics, and non-shipping to Fan Fiction.
How do we sign up?
As mentioned earlier, if you'd like to participate, you need to fill out this form in its entirety. Email the filled-out form to the mods (to email@example.com). DO NOT POST YOUR SIGN-UP FORM IN THIS THREAD.
Final note! While ideally, wed like for you to fill out the complete form, it actually is possible to only partially fill this out. However, be warned that the first part of the You, the Writer part (the one for your contact info) is not optional, and any blank field after that will be considered a wild card. As in, if you dont fill out the rest of the writers portion, youll still get a prompt, but it will be a randomly selected one. If you dont fill out the recipients part, then your writer will be instructed to go wild. Please note we are not liable for any chaos that ensues.
HTML Code:[u][b]You, the Writer[/b][/u] [b]Username:[/b] (actual Serebii username, not a nickname, please) [b]Email:[/b] (to make things easier for email submissions) [b]If push comes to shove, can you pinch-hit?:[/b] (yes or nosee below for an explanation for pinch-hitters) [b]I WILL Write:[/b] [i]Rating:[/i] (Use this space to specify the range of ratings you're comfortable with. Please use movie ratingsG, PG, PG13, or Rto fill out this field.) [i]Characters/Pairings:[/i] (What pairings and/or canon characters do you prefer writing? Please note that you only need to mention canon characters by name here. You may also specify that you're comfortable with writing OCs. No response to this field and the next one will count as a no preference note.) [i]Canon:[/i] (Would you be willing to write a fic set in the anime? In the games? In the manga? Let us know here! Please also specify if necessary. For example, if you prefer writing PMD fics, that counts as a gameverse fic and should be noted. Likewise, if you prefer Special to ReBURST, that should also be noted.) [b]I WON'T Write:[/b] (Use this freeform space to list any gens, universes, characters, or pairings you do NOT want to write here. Also list anything that would make you uncomfortable to write, such as angst, war fic, or anything that may require a trigger warning. You may also use this space to specify genres you'd prefer not to write. [SIZE=1]Note: The last field is also the field where you can specify that you dont want to write non-shipping/shipping fic, but please note that if there are more of any of these prompts than people whore willing to fill them, we miiiiight have to give you one. Sorry![/SIZE] [u][b]You, the Recipient[/b][/u] [b]Acceptable Rating:[/b] (The all-important rating. Please specify the range of ratings you'd be willing to read. If you don't like R fic, for example, you'll want to note that here.) [b]Pairings/Characters:[/b] (Who would you like to receive a fic about? Please specify if necessary, such as clarifying which character you may mean if characters share the same names. If you'd prefer a fic that's about a member of a Pokémon species, you may specify the species here as if it was a character. If you want your writer to create an OC of a certain occupation, such as breeder or trainer, you may specify that here as well. Please limit yourself to ten pairings/characters at the very most.) [b]Shipping or Gen?:[/b] (Shipping = canon characters in relationships; gen = everything else. Which do you prefer?) [b]Prompt:[/b] (List as many prompts as you'd like. Anything can be a prompt, including pictures or songs. If offering a one-word prompt, please also offer an alternative prompt that isn't just a word. Please limit yourself to ten prompts at the very most.) [b]Do Not Want:[/b] (Whatever you absolutely do not want to receive. PLEASE LIST YOUR TRIGGERS IF THEY'RE COMMON. Also note things that would generally make you a sad panda on Christmas, including downer/sad endings, violence, angst, certain characters, etc.)
How are assignments generated specifically?
As mentioned above, mods will take all of the forms you send and compile them in a list. Then, to the best of our abilities, we'll match you with a recipient, based on what you've mentioned in the writers' field and what everyone else has mentioned in the recipients'. In order to make things interesting (i.e., in order to prevent people from gaming the system by tailoring their forms to their friends' preferences so that they can get a fic from their friends), there will also be randomization involved, especially if we have multiple assignments that can't be matched with any specific author.
In other words, for the most part, we'll pair your writing preferences off with (what we feel to be the best matching) readers' preferences. If, however, we can't decide in some cases, we'll be flipping coins and pairing you off.
How does the writing phase work?
At the start of the writing phase, every writer will receive a PM containing specific instructions and their prompts. Then they'll basically be left to their own devices, save for the occasional check-in, until the end of the writing phase.
Once they're finished with their work (i.e., any time before the writing phase ends), they may send it by email to email@example.com as an attachment or a link to a Google Drive document. The body of the email must contain the following form to make putting the Yuletide tree together easier (and so we don't confuse your entry for something else):
After your fic is submitted, you can kick back and relax ... unless you signed up to be a pinch-hitter, anyway. If you're a pinch-hitter, you may be called on to write another fic. See below for further details.HTML Code:[b]Username:[/b] (your username) [b]Fic Title:[/b] [b]Rating:[/b] [b]Warnings:[/b] (if any) [b]Summary:[/b] (a short summary of your ficwill be displayed during the author reveals) [b]For:[/b] (your recipient)
What happens when people can't finish? (ALSO: What's a pinch-hitter?)
Like in the original Yuletide, there are deadlines here.
If an author realizes they can't finish a fic (because, y'know, holiday season and all), they'd have until December 15 to drop out consequence-free by sending the mods an email saying they can't make it. Their assignment will be sent off to all people who specified that they'd be up for pinch-hitting.* Someone will hopefully come forward to pinch-hit, and the Yuletide progresses as if nothing happened.
If the author drops out between December 16 to December 22, their assignment will be sent off to pinch-hitters, but they'll also be banned from the next Yuletide (if it happens). Repeat offenders will be banned from all Yuletides.
If the author just straight-up never shows up and never says anything and if the pinch-hitter can't finish in time, the orphaned prompts will be collected and offered up to participants as part of a belated Yuletide drive. These fics won't make the story reveal phase for obvious time-constraint-related reasons, but we hope to get you a fic by January 1.
* Pinch-hitter: If not already evident, a pinch-hitter is an author who agrees to take on orphaned assignments. The process of assigning a pinch-hitter is a bit looser than the actual sign-up phase. Whereas the normal assignment phase involves the mods pairing off writers with the best-fitting assignment according to their preferences, pinch-hit assignments are sent out to everyone who specifies that they'd be interested in pinch-hitting. Anyone interested in taking up the orphaned assignment should respond via email to claim it and pull it out of rotation.
What's a check-in?
Check-ins are the all-important periods in which we make sure all is well in the highly oiled Yuletide machine. How it works is simple: every two weeks, we'll send every writer a PM and an email asking about how they're doing. All you have to do is send a quick response back so we know you're all right.
Please note! Check-ins are mandatory, but even a one-line response telling us how things're going is totally fine by us. However, failing to respond to two or more check-ins in a row will tell us that you're AWOL, and your prompt may be handed off to a pinch-hitter. This is so we can guarantee that everyone gets a prompt at the end of the event. So in other words, please respond to avoid getting marked down as AWOL! D:
We've gone this far without discussing rules. So what are they?
1. You must write a fic to receive a fic. Do not sign up for the event just to receive. (You can, however, sign up for the event just to write. Alls you got to do is let us know that's what you want to do, and we'll mark you down as awesome.)
2. Again, to sign up, to submit your work, to claim pinch-hit prompts, anything like that must be done via email. Basically, if it would reveal yourself as an author of a particular story, contact us privately, not publicly.
3. All entries must be at least 1000 words in length.
4. While you can be as creative as you'd like with your prompts, please keep in mind that the following are not acceptable:
-- NSFW (Not Safe For Worki.e., porn) prompts/prompts that specifically request NSFW fic or can only result in NSFW fic. This includes image prompts that link to porn.
-- Prompts requesting non-Pokémon fic. Sorry, but for the sake of the other writers (who might not know your fandoms), this is a Pokémon-only Yuletide.
-- Prompts requesting fics about your fics, your fan-created settings, or your OCs. If your prompt requires someone to read your fanfic/general body of work in order to write, that would be unfair and is therefore off-limits. (As a note, its perfectly okay to request a fic that uses OCs, but in this case, the writer would create the characters themselves.)
-- Any other prompt that would be a violation to forum or board-wide rules.
5. You're free to interpret prompts as you wish, but your story absolutely needs to match the prompt you've received in some way. If, for example, someone asks for an Ash/Misty fic in which Ash learns the true meaning of Boxing Day while Misty attempts to write her own Christmas carol about the Patrick Swayze classic Roadhouse, your story must have elements of all of that. Looser prompts, of course, will probably be a little more merciful.
6. Do not write something to deliberately piss off your recipient. This will be considered trolling, and you will be banned from future Yuletides.
-- Unless your recipient specifies that they want to be pissed off. Then you do you, guys.
7. You can fill as many prompts as you'd like, so yes, you can write multiple stories for one recipient. As long as your recipient gets at least 1000 words in total, you're good.
8. No, you cannot collaborate with another author in order to finish your assignment. You can, however, get a beta reader, and in fact, you're heavily encouraged to do so.
9. You are free to submit your work early if you get it done early. Remember, all entries should go to firstname.lastname@example.com so we can keep track of them. However, your deadline to get your work in is December 23.
10. Please note that when submitting your story, it's super important to include the form mentioned above! This year, the Yuletide email is also being used to collect stories for Fan Fic's annual contest, so the form will help us tell which is for which.
11. Mods are completely free to participate! Those who receive mods as recipients will also receive special instructions on how to submit their fic. Please take note of them!
Who's running the event?/Who do I talk to if I have issues with the event?
Serebii Yuletide is a collaborative event between the Shipping Fic and Fan Fic authors. But! For the fastest responses, if you have any questions or concerns about the event that you would like to ask privately or if you'd like to submit your work via PM, please contact the mod who sent you your assignment. Questions can also be sent to the Yuletide email address, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Can I swap my prompt?/I really dont feel comfortable with my prompt. Can I exchange it for something else?
People did this a lot in Year One, and it caused a pretty massive amount of confusion and mess. So no.
Good luck and happy holidays!

COMING NOW: The Terrifying, Unfair and Potentially Linebackin' Jadeveon ClowneyAugust 7, 2012
I recently had the satisfaction of rejecting a small child's layup in a game of one-on-one, and it couldn't have felt better.
I had a two-foot and nearly 150-pound advantage on this worthy adversary, and as the ball ricocheted off my palm and sailed into nearby shrubbery, a grin quickly developed from ear to ear.
It was unfair, juvenile and incredibly rude. The youngster was shocked that a grown man would guard the basket so intently given the situation, although that didn't make this moment any less more enjoyable.
This is how Jadeveon Clowney has felt his entire life. He knows nothing else. The only difference, however, is that he's dominated men of his own age or older at the most elite level.
The South Carolina defensive end (and perhaps more going forward) is a physical rarity, a once-in-a-decade kind of player. Physically, we've never seen anyone like him. You know this already, despite the fact that you haven't see him at his very best just yet.
In the new age of recruiting, we heard about Clowney long before he had a chance to compete at the collegiate level. He was the consensus No. 1 overall player heading into his senior season and followed that up by destroying box scores, linemen, quarterbacks, tacklers (yes, tacklers) and opposing parents' egos.
His statistics from his senior season are hilarious and terrifying if you were forced to line up against him.
He racked up 162 tackles, 29.5 sacks, 29 tackles for loss, 11 forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, 43 quarterback pressures and five defensive touchdowns. He also played running back on a limited basis, where he averaged nearly nine yards a carry and scored nine touchdowns.
As a freshman last season, Clowney burst onto the scene as expected, although his head coach worked him in slowly out of the gate.
He was named the SEC Freshman of the Year and All-SEC second team, finishing the year with 36 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, eight sacks and five forced fumbles. He worked his way more into the rotation as the season progressed, and in 2012 he'll likely rarely be off the field.
It was strange seeing Clowney settle into a three-point last year initially. His frame is almost too lean for a defensive end, and he's built more like a power forward than a defensive lineman.
At 6'6" and 260 pounds, however, he very much fits the mold. We're just not used to our defensive linemen having less body fat than the opposing running backs and quarterbacks they're slinging to the turf.
He has the size and speed to do more than just come off the edge, and he might have the chance to prove it soon enough. Josh Kendall at The State provided the following intriguing tidbit on Monday, and it would seem that the Ol' Ball Coach is up to his ol' tricks.
Look for Jadeveon Clowney at MLB some this year, Steve Spurrier says.— Josh Kendall (@JoshatTheState) August 6, 2012
Whether Spurrier is simply giving Vanderbilt something to think about or this is actually being installed into the defensive game plan will be known soon enough.
Regardless, this chatter will keep offensive coordinators and linemen in the film room a little longer, even if he only changes positions on occasion. And if you're a slot wide receiver looking to take a slant over the middle against South Carolina, be afraid. Be very afraid. Actually, just stay the hell out of there altogether.
Clowney will likely find himself all over the field in a lot of ways. He may drop back into coverage from time to time, although Spurrier will instead likely bounce him inside and outside on the defensive line. This is the ultimate new-toy syndrome, and he'll certainly make the most of of these next two years.
Keeping him further away from the quarterback for an extended period, however, even with deception being the intent, would take away what Clowney could do better than anyone on the planet. This is why you won't see it much, if at all, although Steve Spurrier will likely continue to tell you otherwise until he heads off to the NFL draft.
Bless him for it.
Expect carnage to continue and more of the same from Clowney, regardless of where he lines up. He will continue the trend of making elite players look incredibly average, and his athleticism will take over as he develops as a player and acquires more moves.
Oh, what a force he will be for the coming years. We will marvel as he makes 300-pound, world-class athletes look foolish and feel just a hint of jealousy in how easy he makes it all look.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a pickup game with my name on it.

Senator John Kerry's speech on terrorism and the GOP candidates foreign policy statements attracted the attention of a Boston Globe writer.
Kerry rips GOP field over foreign policy… Criticizes rhetoric as 'scare tactics'
By Alan Wirzbicki, Globe Correspondent
Senator John F. Kerry blasted the leading Republican presidential candidates on foreign policy yesterday, saying "it should disturb all of us" that the GOP contenders are taking increasingly hawkish stances on national security issues like Iran and the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
In his speech at the Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies, John Kerry delivered "a stinging commentary on what he described as the belligerent tone of recent Republican primary debates."
"Most of the Republican candidates seemed almost eager to use nuclear weapons preemptively" against Iran, Kerry said.
Several GOP candidates said at a debate last week in Manchester, N.H., that they would "leave all options on the table," including military strikes, to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.
Earlier this spring, Senator John McCain of Arizona, singing to the tune of a Beach Boys song, "Barbara Ann," joked at a campaign stop that he would "Bomb, bomb, bomb — Bomb, bomb Iran."
Without mentioning him by name, Kerry also criticized former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney for insisting he would double the size of the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay, in which terrorist suspects and enemy fighters are detained.
Kerry said he was disturbed that the proposal "is considered red meat for Republican primary voters." A spokeswoman confirmed that the criticism was directed at Romney.
A Romney campaign spokesman did not respond to requests for comment on Kerry's remarks.
John Kerry's speech which was delivered five months after he announced that "he would not run for the Democratic presidential nomination again in 2008 — roundly condemned the tenor of the nation's foreign policy debates." Kerry has remained in the forefront of the foreign policy debate, while running for re-election of his Massachusetts Senate seat.
Most discussions of foreign affairs in Washington, he said, were "full of simplistic sloganeering and calculated to scare people."
Kerry was particularly critical of President Bush's "war on terror" rhetoric , which he argued misleads the public by lumping together different American adversaries that have little in common into "an undifferentiated 'they.' " As a result, he said, many Americans are confused about basic foreign policy issues.
Kerry cited an opinion poll from last month indicating that 29 percent of Americans still believe former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had a role in planning the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
"Policy makers must demand a better debate," Kerry said during a wide-ranging speech and question-and-answer session.
Kerry also called for the Guantanamo prison to be shut down immediately and criticized Bush's oft-stated comment that catching individual Al Qaeda leaders like Osama bin Laden doesn't matter.
Alan practically took the words out of our mouths. Thank you, Mr.Wirzbicki.
The full text of Senator Kerry's excellent speech is here. It's a must read. Kerry has, as always been ahead of the curve on the issue of terrorism and Iraq.

The Apple iPhone has always been a very prized possession to have and most Indians have always been deprived of the fun of owning one basically because of two reasons cost and availability. While the company cannot do much about the cost of the device in our country it is definitely looking to increase the availability in the country so that it can improve on its sales. The latest move in that direction being- the launch of the CDMA iPhone in the country. The GSM version of the same has already been launched in the country with the providers such as Bharti Airtel and Vodafone.
However, Two Indian wireless operators are in talks with Apple Inc. to offer a version of the iPhone based on code division multiple access, or CDMA, technology, people familiar with the matter said. Apple is in talks with Reliance Communications Ltd. and Tata Teleservices Ltd., whose networks run on CDMA technology. The discussions come amid news that Apple is making a CDMA version of its iPhone that Verizon Wireless will sell early next year in the U.S.
"Tata has been in talks with them [Apple] for four to five months now," one of the people familiar with the negotiations said. It is unclear though when any launch may take place, these people said.
The report that a CDMA-based iPhone could be coming to India comes just days after the Journal said Apple plans to make a CDMA version of its iPhone that Verizon Wireless will begin selling early next year in the United States. AT&T, which uses GSM technology, has been the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the United States since the touchscreen smartphone was launched in 2007. "Tata has been in talks with them (Apple) for four to five months now," the Journal quoted a "person familiar with the negotiations" as saying. The Journal said launching a CDMA phone in India would give Apple access to more customers in the world's fastest growing telecom market, which is adding around 18 million users a month.
In China, the Sept. 25 launch of the iPhone initially created a bit of chaos when the two-phone-per-person limit wasn't enforced. Scalpers walked out of the flagship store with cardboard boxes full of the device, and fights broke out forcing the store to close temporarily. In less than a week, 200,000 iPhones flew off the shelves in Beijing, forcing many consumers to sit on a waiting list until the end of the month.
Launching a CDMA iPhone will give Apple access to more customers in the world's fastest-growing telecom market, which is adding around 18 million users a month. India currently has about 670 million wireless users, of which roughly 20% use CDMA phones. GSM phones make up most of the market. Still, analysts say Apple may find it tough to generate significant revenue from a CDMA-based iPhone in India given that it is not as widely used as a GSM phone, and because there is stiff competition for smartphones from companies including Nokia Corp., Motorola Inc., HTC Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. and Research In Motion Ltd. India is soon going to have Reliance CDMA iPhone or TATA CDMA iPhone. Let's hope CDMA iPhone price suits every Indian pocket.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Massachusetts Gaming Commission will be in Springfield this week to potentially make MGM the first resort style casino company in the commonwealth.
The Gaming Commission will review MGM's project on Tuesday and Wednesday at the MassMutual Center, and could award the license on Friday.
MGM's project is in Springfield's South End. If approved, it may be close to six years from when Governor Deval Patrick signed a gaming bill to when a casino will open.
According to Governor Patrick, "The Gaming Commission, although slow in many people's views, has been quite deliberate and careful; this is a big step for the Commonwealth and it should be taken with care."
The Gaming Commission will grade MGM's project using five key criteria; general overview, finance, economic development, building and site design and mitigation.
Another delay could happen if the State Supreme Court allows a state-wide vote on the casino law. We should know by next month if casinos can move forward immediately or if they'll have to wait until November to see if they can build here.

Getting the most reliable web hosting company for your website is perhaps one of the smartest ideas. Whether it is the first new business or an old business website, it deserves a web host who is on top of the list for all good services. Visit, Top 10 Website Hosting list to select some. It is important to put in mind that the world has advanced in technology especially internet accessibility. No wonder everyone is opening an online shop or struggling to have their businesses get the maximum global visibility. Therefore take serious interest on below reasons to have a top website host your business.
Reasons To Choose Top Web Hosting Companies
Always online
It is good for people to access information about a business online but it is the best to have people always access such information online. If the website is down most of the times, then the business is doomed. Or what else do you expect with consistent web blackout? To avoid such disappointments, let a top website host company handle your website. They will ensure a constant visibility to all potential business clients.
Smooth images and video
A picture is worth a thousand words, and therefore a website without images is annoying and lacks better communication. The majority of the people in the world are visual, and a video will do some good selling to a website. However, this will work well only if a reliable top webhost is the driver. They always have enough resources to accommodate all their client's websites no matter how heavy they are.
For better support
Support is key to making sure that website is never in black out for too long. Whether the fault is on clients side or the hosts, what matters is the response and problem solution speed. One main advantage and reason to hire this top web host is that they are always available to offer any needed assistance. Be it at night or day time, someone is waiting with a solution to any problem.
Integrated services
One more benefit is the integration of services. Imagine getting web hosting, email support, domain services, SEO services and web designs all from one shop. For a starter, for instance, it means that the integrated package is far cheaper and reliable than getting it from different suppliers. For anyone reasoning like me, this is a deal of the year that anyone must embrace.
A smart choice is necessary for the success of the business, and top web hosting companies can make all the difference when it comes to business profitability. Choose one for above reasons and more.

System 9 Module
The In-Roadway Warning Light (IRWL) signal head module meets the standards for the Federal Highway Administration â€" Manual on Uniform Traffic Devices, FHWA-MUTCD.

Mirin-Glazed Halibut
Hiroko Shimbo, a Japanese cooking expert and author of The Sushi Experience, worked with the importer New York Mutual Trading to bring products like artisanal akasake mirin to America. She uses the mirin here to make a teriyaki-like sauce that has sweetness and depth but isn't cloying.
Total Time:
Level: Moderate
Serves: 4
- 2 c. akasake mirin or sweet oloroso sherry
- 1 c. dry sake
- 1 c. marudaizu shoyu (see Note) or other soy sauce
- ¼ c. light brown sugar
- 5½ dried hot red chiles
- 4 skinless halibut fillets
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium saucepan, bring the mirin and sake to a simmer. Add the marudaizu shoyu and brown sugar and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chiles and let cool to room temperature.
- Pick out the chiles and transfer 1 cup of the sauce to an 8-inch square baking dish. Refrigerate the remaining sauce for another use. Add the halibut to the sauce in the baking dish and marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning several times.
- Remove the fish from the marinade and blot dry; reserve the marinade. Heat the oil in a large nonstick, ovenproof skillet. Add the halibut and cook over moderately high heat for 2 minutes. Turn the fillets. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 5 minutes, until the fish flakes with a fork.
- Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and boil over moderately high heat until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Transfer the halibut to plates and drizzle with the mirin sauce.
- Notes: Marudaizu shoyu is soy sauce made from whole soy beans, and its deeper flavor is superior to more commercial sauces made with defatted soy meal. It's available at Asian markets. Drink: Shochu is a vodkalike spirit distilled from a variety of ingredients, such as rice, buckwheat or barley. The earthy Kagura No Mai Shochu is great served chilled with the sweet-salty halibut.

I'm new here! Go by the name of Clint, 29 year old AFOL, ALE, whichever pleases you. The Dwarf in me bellows "ALE!!"
Big fan of Dwarfs, bigger fan of Lego. I figured since I have at least a few posts up I should finally and officially introduce myself. I've watched the site for quite a few years. I finally registered in 2009, but that was a pretty busy year, so I never had a chance to post.
I work for a part of the military and currently reside in Washington state, I was at the most recent Lego convention in Oct 2009, Seattle style. I was not able to enter anything due to time constraints but it was amazing to see everything.
I have had two Dark Ages, the first when I originally joined the service in '99. My grandmother had gifted my Lego sets to a little boy up the street during my first tour. I parted with Knights Joust, the pre 1984 version, and just about every Castle Lego from the Dragon Masters, back. I picked my habit back up during Knights Kingdom, but was turned off by the large "Technic" looking knights. I bought impulse sets, and tried to be serious about it, but once again the service kicked in.
Finally after the second Dark Age, I had gotten a new bonus and dropped some cash on the Giant Fantasy Chess set. It stirred old emotions in me and I got very serious about recollecting and building.
Currently I am workin on building things based around Warhammer Fantasy, mostly because the new Fantasy Lego from Castle have the most wonderful parts to incorperate all the neat ideas.
The only other theme I touch is Pirate, mostly because Castle is missing alot of peasants, and pirates make into great peasants, and because well, the two themes really just tie in together. They also meld into the Warhammer theme very well. Plus my Dwarf engineers use rifles, so the weapons mesh very well.
I will admit I have parted out Indiana Jones, Agents and Power Miners to help build what I need.
Anyhow, hello everyone, pleased to meet all of you.
I promise to be an active and considerate member, knowledge able when un expected and helpful when most needed.

Yes, it's the Dog Days of Summer, but that doesn't stop intrepid posters from sending in their contributions to this week's CAV. I'm excited to be hosting my first-ever Cavalcade of Risk. Let's review the offerings:
First up, R.J. Weiss over at The Insurance Protection Blog. RJ's post this week, Online Password Management Best Practices and Tips covers another angle on cyber protection and hacking. RJ provides pointers as to how you can control the potential damage to your data and systems from a cyber attack, even if you can't control how others you do business with manage their own cyber exposure.
Michael Stack is next. His post A Delicate Dance With Your Work Comp Claims Adjuster goes into the difficulties adjusters face when trying to match their account exec's and salespeople's crazy promises about how claims will be handled. Dave's blog is over at Workers Comp Roundup. Give it a look.
Our next post, instead of talking about lions and tigers and bears, oh my!, Claire Wilkinson offers interesting information on the potential health hazards from insect bites and stings on the job. In Insects, Spiders and Mites: A Workplace Hazard, Claire gives statistics and insights into this less known hazard to working outside, particularly in the summer. Her blog is over at the Terms and Conditions Blog.
Now on to the healthcare side of the industry where Jason Shafrin writes for the Healthcare Economist. Jason's post: Too Much or Too Little Regulation, where Jason links to a story from MSN which cites GAO statistics on how easy it is to game the Obamacare system to obtain Federal subsidies for health insurance that aren't warranted.
Finally, we have Henry Stern's unusual story about a man who sued his insurance agent for assault. The man won his case, and the agency "retaliated" by paying a portion of the judgement in coins. When reading Shortsighted Agency Tricks, you can't help but wonder how people can be so insensitive to how their actions can be perceived in the media. On one hand, coins are legal tender, but to dump off a bunch buckets filled with coins for a 76 year old man to carry, come on. Our industry has a hard enough time maintaining a positive public image, this is just tossing a softball to the media. And with social media these days, you can bet this went viral. Henry has many other interesting posts at Insureblog.

By Jeffrey Henning & Tamara Barber
There's now ample opportunity to stay on top of what the market research community is saying in the Twitter-sphere. In addition to our weekly coverage on the top #MRX tweets of the week on the Innovation Evolved blog, we'll be doing a top-ten recap every two weeks right here on GreenBook.
Of the 1,118 unique links shared on #MRX last week, here are the top 10 most retweeted (after counting no more than one tweet per company):
- Six degrees of separation? On Facebook it's just 4.74 – Robert Bain of Research contrasts a study showing how the average Facebook user can be connected to another in as few as 4.74 links with Milgram's classic research from the 1960s that inspired the "six degrees of separation" meme.
- Are online panels finished? – One of my favorite features of Research magazine is the monthly Head-to-Head debate series. In this edition, Pulse Group's Bob Chua and uSamp's Gregg Lavin take on the question of the future of online panels.
- Ingrained in the brain – Nick Southgate identifies five areas where he believes behavioral economics will have a lasting impact on the practice of market research: framing questions, seeking to understand respondents' beliefs about others' beliefs, researching the non-decisions of cognitive misers, using experiments and developing ways to change consumer behavior.
- Behavioural economics for breakfast – Helen Nuki of research agency Monkey See describes the results of applying a behavioral economics framework to analyzing ethnographic data from use of the cereal Weetabix.
- Behavioural economics in the pub – Orlando Wood of BrainJuicer describes the results of a mass ethnographic exercise designed to understand binge drinking.
- The Future of Market Research Communities – 5 Trends to Watch in 2012 – Ushering in prediction season, Job Muscroft of the research agency Face says MROCs in 2012 will become central information hubs, will host more strategic co-creation, will integrate the social-media data streams of participants, will offer rich access through mobile devices and will integrate more automated analysis.
- Are Market Research Clients Respected? – Edward Appleton, European Customer Insights Manager at Avery Dennison, wants research agencies to help research departments within clients be more successful, rather than imagine possible futures where research departments shrink or even vanish.
- How Not to Get Market Research Clients – Dana Stanley, now with Survey Analytics, transcribes a Radio NewMR interview in which Tiffany McNeil, the Strategy & Insights Manager at Del Monte Foods, shares her thoughts on research suppliers and innovation.
- Rosencrantz And Brandenstern Are Dead – "Consider the consumer, and the walk-on role brands play in their life," Tom Ewing writes. "A story of a consumer's life from a brand's point of view would – like Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead – be a rather strange one. A string of disconnected occasions, the occasional mention, a number of decision points … and in the end – perhaps – a lonely and unmourned delisting."
- Normification v Gamification; or; What Can We Learn From The Klout Backlash? – Tom Ewing hits the top ten twice, with his second post using changes at Klout to highlight a perennial problem for any researcher running a tracking study or maintaining a normative database: the paradox of how improvement invalidates past norms and makes the entire methodology seem less reliable.
