In early January, I wrote a little tribute to my wife for the awesome job she does when making cakes. There was a lot of good feedback from that. You can go back and read it from here, if you like. This is a short follow-up to that article. This is mostly because I think she has outdone herself again.
Just a short while ago was our oldest daughters birthday. She just turned two. Last year she got a ballerina music box as her birthday cake. This year she got this:
I think she did a fantastic job on this. The towers are all covered in colored white chocolate. The cake was really tasty too!!
Here is another one from last year that didn't make it onto the first article. This is the tractor that was made for my niece. This was another birthday cake. We weren't able to be there for the party (traveling back home at the time). From what I hear though, people were impressed and my niece was quite happy with the cake.
This one was harder than one might think. The hard part is getting the cake to stand off the ground and appear like the tractor is on wheels. She was frustrated with it – but did a good job.

It's a Harry Potter day but it's also an I Hate People day. Because some people are so f-cking dumb. And I'm not referring to a Twi-Hard.
Tyce Diorio choreographed Katie Holmes's upcoming number on So You Think You Can Dance – a tribute to Judy Garland. Said Diorio of Robo's performance:
"The thing that is so awesome is that you won't know, you don't know what to expect … but then when you sit and watch it, it's amazing. Amazing! And it's not something in my opinion that's just going to be like 'oh, how nice.' It's not going to be that … 'oh, look how sweet that is.' No, it's real. It's as real as what you're seeing now. I'm very proud of it, so I talk really highly of Katie.
"You get to know someone and their talents and their personality (and) being in my position that's my job to see and figure out who is ready and how to do it and how to get there. And I have been with Katie for so long now and I was like, 'yeah, you're ready, let's do it.' I could see the magic. I could see the truth in her talent, and she believes in herself too, so it was all coupled together."
"Katie reminds me of that MGM Hollywood movie star. Her looks and her essence … she stands there and you're like 'what?' and when you see the way she looks … she looks like she could be on the stage at the Oscars."
"She's amazing. (Her performance) it'll come out of nowhere. It's Oscar winning!"
Do these people even know?
They don't know.
The f-ck does a great dance routine on TELEVISION have to do with winning an Oscar? Why does this generation insist on raping the honour of an Oscar?
Lindsay Lohan says she wants to win one before the age of 30. JailBait Miley has her eyes on one too. Like it's so easily attainable. Like "if I really put my mind to it I can do it! I can do anything!"
No. You can't.
This is why so many losers audition for American Idol. We need to start being more honest with our children.
And dumbasses need to stop putting Katie Holmes and "Oscar winning" in the same sentence.
But she did seem happier today while walking to set with Guy Pearce. Funny that.

I know that a random room will not be created at this time, but I was wondering if you would be willing to appease those of us who take issue with random.
I thought it might be helpful to provide a chart or calculator that would enable a player to determine the % chance of victory. I know I would appreciate a device like this.
If the above request is impossible, I would like to know what determines the random. Is it based upon attack greater, or is it based on a ratio of player's attack versus opponents attack?
If neither requests can be granted, I appreciate all the work you do keeping this game working, and I understand that moderating a game of this scope is a challenge.
It is based on ratio between both cards attack. For example we have Lyse Teria and Wanda. If a player use 4 pills on Lyse Teria her attack will be 4*8=32 and if the other player use 3 pills on Wanda then she will have an attack of 3*8=24. Now for random. Lyse Teria chance of winning is her attack over the total attack of both cards. 32 / (32+24) = 57% while Wanda's is 24 / (32+24) = 43%. So Lyse Teria can will in 6 out of 10 while Wanda can upset Lyse Teria in 4 out of 10 matches.

The federal census is a basic tool for post-Revolutionary War United States research, and is often the first step in identifying information about a newly-discovered ancestor. The census not only provides a statistical cross section for the entire country, it also supplies a family status report at the end of each decade. The Historical Genealogy Department of the Allen County Public Library holds all of the federal population schedules that are currently available, and all statewide indexes and soundexes. This pathfinder is a guide to the use of the census. For additional information, please consult with a staff member.
^ Back to Top
The censuses of the years 1790-1840 are characterized by a lack of definite information about household members. The head of the household is the only name supplied, with other household members enumerated only by age category and sex. Head of household is usually the primary male (the oldest or the main property holder), but can be the primary female (again, the oldest or main property holder), often a widow. Starting with the 1850 census, information more useful to the genealogical researcher began to be gathered. Everyone within the household is named, and information including, but not limited to, age, birthplace, occupation, color, literacy and property values is given. The category headings are often difficult to read on the census sheets. There are several sources which list the various categories by year. One of these sources, Twenty Censuses: Population and Housing Questions, 1790 –1980, is listed in the "Select Finding Aids" section of this pathfinder. Other forms and charts are also available at on various Internet sites including Cyndi's List (www.CyndisList.com) and Everton Publishers' website (www.Everton.com) as well as at both the Reference Desk and the Microtext Assistance Desk.
The Historical Genealogy Department has indexes for all states through 1870. The census book indexes are grouped by year on shelves in the Microtext area. They are not necessarily in order by state within the year. To use these book indexes, locate the year grouping and then the book for the state of interest. The indexes are in alphabetical order by last name of the head of household. Persons with surnames differing from that of the head of household are usually listed separately in the index. After the name, the county abbreviation, page number, and township, district or other minor civil jurisdiction, where applicable, will be given. Proceed to the microtext card catalog and look in the drawer for the appropriate year, state and county to find the census roll number. Census rolls are stored in microtext cabinets by year. If assistance is desired, contact a staff member. The Historical Genealogy Department has only a few county-specific census indexes. These are not located on the browsing shelves with the other indexes. To find them, look in the online catalog under the name of the county. In addition to state indexes, the Historical Genealogy Department has the Accelerated Indexing Systems (A.I.S.) Census Searches. This source indexes censuses and some tax lists for large portions of the United States, which may prove useful if a researcher is unsure of what state to search. There are nine divisions by year and area:
Search 1 . . . .
Search 2 . . . .
Search 3 . . . .
Search 4 . . . .
Search 5 . . . .
1850-1860, Southern States
Search 6 . . . .
1850, New England and Northern States
Search 7 . . . .
1850-1906, Mid-West and Western States
Search 7 A . . .
1850-1907, US (incorporates searches 5 through 7)
Search 8 . . . .
Mortality Schedules
These census searches are available on microfiche and are arranged in alphabetical order by surname. They provide a state, county and page number citation for the head of household. It should be noted, however, that this source is several years old and little is included for 1860 and 1870. A significant number of census indexes are available online at U.S. GenWeb sites. In addition to these indexes, increasing numbers of U. S. GenWeb sites are also making digitized copies of actual census sheets available to researchers as well as full census transcriptions. Moreover, large publishers in the genealogical field are mounting both indexes and digital copies of federal census records on their subscription websites. The Historical Genealogy Department provides access to at least one major online genealogy subscription database so that the growing numbers of online indexes and digital census records are available to our patrons. Ask a staff member for assistance in accessing these online resources.
The censuses for the years 1880-1930 differ in two ways from the earlier censuses. First, much more information is given in these years, including relationship of each person in the household to the head of household, and the birthplace of the parents of each person. Second, some of the indexing is vastly dissimilar to the earlier years. As with the earlier years, if the column headings across the census pages prove to be unreadable, researchers should consult a staff member for a chart which lists the categories. It should be noted that the census of 1890 was almost entirely destroyed by a fire in Washington. D.C., and is not available. The fragments of that census which do survive are available at this library on five rolls of microfilm. They include a few pages for each of the following states: Alabama, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas. This set includes an everyname index on two rolls of microfilm stored with these five rolls. Ask a staff member if assistance is desired. It is important to note as well that directories (geographic, occupational, ethnic, and organizational) can be successfully used as census substitutes. This is particularly true for the 1890 time period. Many cities and rural areas published directories in the late 1880s and early 1890s. These can often be used to locate individuals and families who typically would have been tracked in the 1890 federal census. Used in conjunction with state census records where they exist, city directories can help fill this 1890 census void.
When indexes exist on microfilm, these censuses are indexed by the soundex system (or miracode for some of the 1910 census). The soundex indexes by the sound of the surname, instead of the spelling, to reduce the problems created by spelling errors on the part of the enumerators and variant spellings used by family members. The first letter of the surname is used with a three-number code representing the next three consonants of the name. The numerical values of the letters are assigned so that letters which sound alike, and therefore could be mistaken for one another, are given the same numerical value. Vowels (a, e, i, o, and u) and vowel-sounding consonants (h, y, and w) are eliminated from the coding process. The letters and their corresponding numbers are:
1 -- b, f, p, v
2 -- c, g, j, k, q, s, x, z
3 -- d, t
4 -- l
5 -- m, n
6 – r
If the name contains more letters than needed, drop the ending letters.
Anderson = Andrsn = A536 (drop the sand n)
VanDuessen = Vndsn = V532 (drop the n)
If there are not enough consonants in the name to form the code, add zeroes to complete it.
Lundy = Lnd = L530
Maas = Ms = M200
Ray = R = R000
It is important to note that when two letters of the same value are together, not separated by a vowel,the second letter is ignored.
Stalling = Stlng = S345
Scott = St = S300
McCoy = Mc = M200
Different names can have the same soundex code number.
Schmidt = Smd = S530
Smith = Smt = S530
Snead = Snd = S530
The soundex and miracode are available on 16mm microfilm in the Microtext area, and may be used on any of the microfilm readers. Once the soundex code number is determined, find the soundex drawers in the microtext catalog for the census year of interest. Select the roll which contains the code number needed for the state being searched. On the film, each family is represented on an index card. The soundex code is in the top left corner of each card. Advance the film to the beginning of the desired code. All surnames within that code will be interfiled in order by first name of the head of household. A researcher may wish to view all cards within a particular code or proceed directly to all cards with a particular first name. It is possible to differentiate between people of the same name by studying the other identifying data on the soundex card: names and ages of other members in the household, birthplaces and county of residence. Persons with a surname differing from that of the head of household will usually be listed separately in the soundex. While a great deal of information is supplied on the soundex card, proceeding to the actual census is advisable. From the soundex card, obtain the name of the county and three of the four numbers in the upper right corner: E.D. (enumeration district), sheet, and line. In the microtext catalog, check the appropriate census year's catalog drawer for the roll number of the state and county. If there is more than one roll indicated for the county, the catalog will list the enumeration districts that appear on each roll. Load the census roll onto a reader and advance to the proper county. On the census, the counties are divided into enumeration districts, which are usually in numerical order within the county. Within the enumeration district, search for the sheet/page and line number desired. The 1880 soundex lists only households with children 10 (ten) years and younger, although everyone is listed on the census itself. It is vital to note that in addition to being indexed by soundex, the 1880 census has been completely transcribed and published online and on CD-ROM by the Genealogical Society of Utah. The online version of this important census can be found at www.FamilySearch.org . The CD-ROM version, which offers more robust searching capabilities, can be found under the EResources link on the library's homepage at www.ACPL.Lib.in.us. The electronic index to the 1880 census on CD-ROM allows for multiple truncation searches as well as searching by neighbors. It is a tremendous research boon for all who use it. There are only two years in this later block of federal census records that are completely indexed by the soundex—the 1900 and 1920 censuses. The soundex indexes for these two census years list all heads of households and those persons living in a household with a surname different from that of the head of household. Some states of the 1910 census are indexed by soundex, and other states are indexed by miracode. Miracode is a slightly different form of soundex. The code numbers are formed in the same way, but the cards are arranged differently. The county is in the upper left corner, and the numbers in the upper right corner represent the volume (which is not needed), enumeration district and visitation number. Locate the census roll in the same way as with soundex, and search for the enumeration district. Within each enumeration district, families are in order by visitation number, the handwritten number closest to the name on the left side of the census sheet. Only twenty-one (21) states were soundexed or miracoded for 1910. They are:
South Carolina
North Carolina
West Virginia
Several additional state indexes for 1910 have recently been published in print or electronic form. There are two sources which may assist the researcher in locating people in states without an index. The Cross Index to Selected City Streets and Enumeration Districts, 1910 is on microfiche, and matches specific enumeration districts to street names and house numbers. This source is available for larger cities only. The Census Enumeration District Descriptors, which is on microfilm, will describe specific areas covered in each enumeration district. An older street map is helpful in using this source. For both of these sources, it is necessary to know the address of the person sought, which may be obtainable from a city directory. The Historical Genealogy Department has city directories for much of the United States, both in book and microtext form.
Only twelve (12) states were soundexed for 1930. They are:
Kentucky (part)*
West Viginia(part)**
* These Kentucky counties are indexed: Bell, Floyd, Harlan, Kenton, Muhlenberg, Perry, and Pike.
**These West Virginia counties are indexed: Fayette, Harrison, Kanawha, Logan, McDowell, Mercer, and Raleigh.
Some of the states for the time period 1880 to 1930 may have book indexes instead of, or in addition to, the soundex or miracode. Increasing numbers of states for these census years also have online indexes available at subscription websites. As an example, a full name index to the 1930 census is available on the Internet at www.Ancestry.com. Indeed, the electronic indexes to the 1880 through 1930 censuses will likely be the first choice for most researchers endeavoring to use these records. When using any index, whether print or online, it is important to remember (a) all possible spellings should be considered when searching and (b) no index is perfect—they all contain both errors of commission and errors of omission. Still, most indexes are of great benefit to the savvy researcher.
There are several special schedules which were attached to certain years of the Federal census. These are Slave Schedules, Mortality Schedules, Agricultural and Manufacturing Schedules, Defective, Dependent and Delinquent classes, and the Special Census of Union Civil War Veterans and Their Widows. Slave Schedules list slaves in the southern states for the years 1850 and 1860. They are arranged in order by state and county with some states having published indexes to facilitate searching for data about a particular owner. Very little information is supplied beyond the owners' names, and sexes and ages of the slaves, although occasionally the slaves were named. Mortality Schedules list those residents of a county who died during the twelve months prior to the taking of the census. If the census was taken on 1 June 1850, the enumerator would ask who in the household had died between 1 June 1849 and 31 May 1850, and would gather information on name, age, sex, birthplace, occupation and cause of death. With few exceptions, Mortality Schedules survive only for the census years of 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880. Most are indexed in book form. These indexes are located with other census indexes on shelves in the Microtext area. Others may be indexed on microfiche. This library has the Agriculture and Manufacturing Schedules only for the state of Indiana for the years 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880. These are arranged by county on microfilm. They are not indexed, although information provided by the population schedule will enable the researcher to locate the desired citation on the agricultural or manufacturing schedules. The schedules for other states may be obtained from the National Archives. Another special schedule entitled Defective, Dependent and Delinquent Classes was only taken in conjunction with the 1880 census. It lists blind, deaf-mute, idiotic, insane, and permanently disabled persons. This census also includes inhabitants in prison. All of these individuals are identified by name and place of residence. These individuals are listed in the regular population census. These special censuses should be consulted when you notice a checkmark in the columns listed on the regular population schedules. The Historical Genealogy Department only has these schedules for Delaware, Illinois, and Indiana. The last special schedule is the 1890 Special Census of Union Civil War Veterans and their Widows. This was meant to list only Union veterans and widows, but occasionally Confederate veterans were included. All the schedules for Alabama through Kansas and approximately half of those for Kentucky counties were destroyed before the remaining schedules were transferred to the National Archives. [The Kentucky counties that are available for the 1890 Special Census are: Adair, Bath, Bell, Boone, Bourbon, Boyd, Boyle, Bracken, Breathitt, Campbell, Carter, Casey, Clark, Clay, Clinton, Cumberland, Elliott, Estill, Fayette, Fleming, Floyd, Franklin, Gallatin, Garrard, Grant, Greenup, Harlan, Harrison, Jackson, Jessamine, Johnson, Kenton, Knott, Knox, Laurel, Lawrence, Lee, Leslie, Letcher, Lewis, Lincoln, Madison, Magoffin, Martin, Mason, Menifee, Montgomery, Morgan, Nicholas, Owen, Owsley, Pendleton, Perry, Pike, Powell, Pulaski, Robertson, Rockcastle, Rowan, Russell, Scott, Wayne, Whitley, Wolfe and Woodford Counties; and certain federal, state, and local institutions throughout the state.] The Kentucky counties listed above as well as the states of Louisiana through Wyoming and the District of Columbia can be found in this special census. Some of these surviving schedules are indexed either in book form or on microfiche. Check the list in the Microtext area to see which states are indexed.
While the federal censuses are the most commonly used population schedules, it is important to remember that some states also took a separate census, often in the middle of the decade (years ending with "5.") The Historical Genealogy Department holds many of the state censuses. A relatively complete listing of state and territorial census records on microfilm is listed in follows. Please note that schedules may not have survived for every county in a particular state and census year.

For the most up to date list of state censuses in microtext form, check the microtext catalog drawer labeled "State Census" for state, county and year. Most of the state censuses on microtext are not indexed. Searchers also will want to check the online catalog under the name of the county for state censuses in book form. Periodicals also may list census material, including federal, state and town incorporation censuses. The PERiodical Source Index is an invaluable source for locating these articles.

IBN develops anti-microbial hydrogel
Singapore: Researchers from A*Star's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) and IBM have unveiled first-ever antimicrobial hydrogel that can break apart biofilms and destroy multidrug-resistant superbugs upon contact. Tests have demonstrated the effectiveness of this novel synthetic material in eliminating various types of bacteria and fungi that are leading causes of microbial infections, and preventing them from developing antibiotic resistance. This discovery may be used in wound healing, medical device and contact lens coating, skin infection treatment and dental fillings.
IBN executive director Professor Jackie Y Ying said, "By combining IBN's biomaterials expertise and IBM's experience in polymer chemistry, we were able to pioneer the development of a new nanomaterial that can improve medical treatment and help to save lives."
Bacteria primarily exist as free-floating cells or biofilms. When grouped together, the cells secrete a sticky polymeric substance, which weave and 'glue' the bacteria to surfaces. Compared to free-floating cells, biofilms are 100-1000 times less susceptible to antibiotics due to the acquired resistance from the tightly weaved microbial structure that blocks and prevents drug penetration. More than 80 percent of all human microbial infections are related to biofilm.
The emergence of new strains of superbugs and shortage of new drugs has exacerbated the need for an effective antimicrobial solution. Traditional household antiseptics and disinfectants are also proving to be ineffective in eliminating drug-resistant germs.

I hate satire. Yeah, there, I said it. Get over it. One percent of the time satire is funny. Most comedic satirists believe all you have to do to be funny is be satirical. This is wrong. You must also be funny. Which they forget. Luckily, that one percent does exist and that one percent is The Day Today.
Created by Christopher Morris and Armando Iannucci, The Day Today is as silly as it is relevant. Much like The Daily Show, The Day Today is a spoof television news program that satirizes (I promise that will be the last time I use that word) both current events and the news programs that provide them. From anchors "losing" the news to making interviewees suck helium to discredit their statements, The Day Today puts all other subversive TV programs to shame. Did I also mention this was where Alan Partridge was created?Continue Reading

This morning's edition of the Weekly Briefing shines a little more light on a subject that a handful of obervers have highlighted in recent months — namely, the rather bizarre passions and crusades of North Carolina's Lt. Governor-elect, Dan Forest.
For instance, Forest serves as the co-director of a nonprofit that purports to rate giant corporate retailers on their "pornography" policies. In the group's new "Faith-friendly Christmas Guide" it informs readers that the giant retailer Sears gets very low marks in this category because, among other things, its catalog "features women in lingerie." Conveniently, the Guide even then provides a link to the online version of the lingerie catalog so that readers can be sure of what it is they're crusading against!

William Bradley Roland, aka Brad Will, a U.S. journalist and cameraman, was shot and killed on November 1st in Oaxaca, Mexico, by paramilitaries affiliated with the PRI, the former Mexican ruling party. Will was in Oaxaca covering the continued resistance of teachers and other workers against the PRI-controlled government of the State of Oaxaca. According to reports from New York City Independent Media Center and La Jornada, Will, 36, was shot at the Santa Lucia Barricade from a distance of 30-40 meters in the pit of the stomach by plainclothes paramilitaries and died while enroute to the Red Cross.
Brad Will went to Oaxaca in early October to document the story of the statewide strike in Oaxaca, Mexico. Plainclothes police and gunmen linked to state governor Ulises Ruiz attacked the barricades erected by the Oaxacan people and their teachers. The police used machine guns and the teachers and the people defended themselves with stones and machetes. So far, there are at least three people confirmed dead, and reports of scores wounded.
Seventy thousand teachers have been on strike in the state since May 22. They have been joined by the APPO, including representatives of the 16 indigenous peoples in the state. The struggle has convulsed Mexico, as several thousand teachers and APPO strikers marched on Mexico City, where they have been camped out in front of the Senate. As part of the ongoing strike by the state teachers union, now in its sixth month, there are hundreds of barricades in Oaxaca city and strikers have called for reinforcement of the barricades.
Under heavy pressure from the right-wing federal government of Vicente Fox, the teachers union, Section 22, SNTE-CNTE, voted by 30,000 to 20,000 to go back to work. However, they made this conditional on receiving guarantees of safety for the strikers against threats by the state governor Ruiz and his PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party), which has ruled the state for the last 75 years. According to Radio APPO, the radio station of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca, truckloads of armed paramilitaries entered the state capital. During the afternoon motorcycles and pick-up trucks with plainclothes ministerial police roamed through the city.
Will was one of five people who died along with 17 wounded, as paramilitaries and federal police poured in to retake the city, according to Centro de Medias Libres. The city had been in the hands of the workers for five months. A longtime journalist and activist, Will covered land occupations in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S., direct actions and rebellions in Argentina and Ecuador, land occupations in Brazil, and anti-privatization struggles in Bolivia. He was a respected figure in the global justice movement in the U.S.
There have been repeated solidarity demonstrations with the Oaxaca strikers in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere in the U.S., as well as internationally, from Barcelona, Spain to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where teachers called for workers' strikes against the repression in Mexico.
Speaking at a public meeting of the Other Campaign in Buaiscobe, Sonora, Zapatista Subcomandante Insurgente Marcos, upon receiving a briefing of the day's events in Oaxaca, told the public and the press: 'We know that they killed at least one person. This person that they killed was from the alternative media that are here with us. He didn't work for the big television news companies and didn't receive pay. He is like the people who came here with us on the bus, who are carrying the voices of the people from below so that they would be known….�

Introduction to Mailgun email automation
Mailgun is an email automation service provided by Rackspace. It offers a complete cloud-based email service for sending, receiving and tracking email sent through your websites and applications. Mailgun features are available through an intuitive RESTful API or using traditional email protocols like SMTP.
Rackspace Cloud customers can send 50,000 emails per month for free with Mailgun's basic plan. As of July 2013, Rackspace pre-configures Windows and Linux images for Cloud Servers with Managed Operations to send email via Mailgun using SMTP.
The power of Mailgun comes in its wide array of use cases. Mailgun is capable of integrating with a local postfix service, sending email through SMTP and integrating programmatically with your existing cloud applications. For example, Mailgun, when properly configured, can deliver emails from a blogging software content management system (CMS) such as WordPress, integrate with bug tracking software or any open source software needing to send emails. Mailgun can also be used to handle incoming email.
Rackspace Cloud customers can access Mailgun from directly within the Cloud Control Panel from the Rackspace Cloud menu at the top of the window. To send more than the free 50,000 emails per month with the basic plan, you must pick a paid plan in the Mailgun control panel.
For more information about Mailgun pricing for Rackspace customers, see the Rackspace pricing page.
This article provides example configurations for Mailgun. To get the most from your services with Mailgun, be sure to view the advanced resources available in the Further readingsection.
Sending emails via SMTP
Integration with Mailgun programatically is available from languages with an SMTP library. Let's take a look at a trivial Python script that instructs Mailgun to send an email through SMTP. We will leverage the smtplib library available natively in Python.
import smtplib
def send_message_via_smtp():
smtp = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.mailgun.org", 587)
smtp.login("firstname.lastname@example.com", "password")
smtp.sendmail("firstname.lastname@example.com", "email@example.com", "mime_message_body")
We begin by importing the smtplib package with
import. We then create
a Python function to contain the code. Inside we create an object named
smtp which is an instance of SMTP. In the login method we pass our
mailgun SMTP credentials. In the sendmail method we define the sender,
recipient, and email body data. We end the script calling the
send_message_via_smtp function.
Note: You will use the username and password from the Mailgun control panel.
Sending emails via HTTP
SMTP is the most common protocol used when sending email. It is used by most email applications. However, SMTP may not be the first choice for coding due to MIME format underpenings. Sending via HTTP provides a simpler approach. With HTTP the application simply posts the content as parameters to Mailgun. The parameters match those required when sending a normal email: "From", "To", "Cc", "Bcc", "Subject" and so on.
Let's take a look at a trivial cURL example.
curl -s -k --user api:key-3ax6xnjp29jd6fds4gc373sgvjxteol0 \
https://api.mailgun.com/v2/samples.mailgun.org/messages \
-F from='Excited User <email@example.com>'\
-F email@example.com\
-F email@example.com\
-F subject='Hello'\
-F text='Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!'
The above example sends an email to two different addresses, with a subject of "Hello" and body "Testing some Mailgun awesomeness!". The HTTP API supports features such as file uploads, sending in test mode and more. See the Mailgun documentation for more information.
Receiving messages via HTTP
Mailgun is able to receive email via rules you define. This is performed by generating routes within the Mailgun control panel or through the API. Once added, emails reaching Mailgun, for which a route is generated can be forwarded to your application via the use of an HTTP POST or your inbox. The following screenshot presents an example route from the Mailgun control panel.
Routes can be created for static email addresses and for a regular expression (regex) pattern match. They are also available to forward an HTTP request, for sending the email to your application. See the Mailgun documentation for more information.

(image: crusaders killing Jews, 13th c. MS)
After Cologne Metz, the Christians finally turned towards their ostensible goal -- Jerusalem -- meeting up and continuing eastwards, up the Danube and into Hungary. That's because these Christians were crusaders. The attacks upon the Jews of the Rhineland were the beginning of this army's participation in the First Crusade.
Modern scholarship on (and hence popular understanding of) the First Crusade has almost universally "divided" the First Crusade up. The armies of the Rhineland, who left some months before other western armies containing, ultimately, the "heroes" of the First Crusade (Bohemond, Raymond of Toulouse, Godfrey of Bouillon, etc.), have traditionally been called the "Peasants' Crusade." Now, a bit more diplomatically, they're termed the "first wave." But this is misguided. By suggesting that the "Peasants' Crusade" was something "different" from the "real" First Crusade, scholars are suggesting that the actions of these armies of the Rhineland were not "real" crusaders. They were inspired by different factors and composed of a different sort of person. Pope Urban II and the better known leaders of the crusading armies are thus, in some sense, exonerated from the troublesome sentiments their words inspired. These massacres, it seems, were all the fault of irresponsible popular preachers and a senseless rabble.
These armies of the Rhineland, the Christians who marched AWAY from Jerusalem in their quest to attack the Jews, were very much a part of the First Crusade, not some unfortunate byproduct. They may not have heard Pope Urban II preach but few who went to the East actually did in 1095-96. They almost certainly got the same general message, something we might be able to extract from Pope Urban II's surviving letters -- something about a spiritually-beneficial armed expedition, intended to liberate the Christians of the East from the non-Christians/ pagans.
One can argue that this message was simply "rhetoric," that it was all language. But words have meaning. Language, and the ideas it contains, influences actions. Put another way, words & ideas make people do things. Words made the First Crusade. Urban's preaching tour inspired men to leave home, walk 2,000+ miles to Jerusalem, and kill people they'd never met and hardly heard of before. Urban and the rest of his preachers may not have intended for the Jews of Worms, Mainz, and Cologne to be massacred. But they were. And they were because of the message that the crusade preachers preached and because of the field of actions that they're language opened for their listeners. The massacres of the Jews were caused by the same rhetoric that caused the massacre of the Muslims in Jerusalem in 1099, at the very end of the First Crusade.
In the wake of the vote in the House of Representatives passing health care reform in the US, at least 10 lawmakers who voted for the reform have received death threats. Rep. Tom Perriello (D-VA), for example, has been threatened and the gas line to his brother's house was deliberately cut (possibly because the criminal thought it was Rep. Perriello's house). Bart Stupak (D-MI) and James Clyburn (D-SC) were faxed images of nooses with threats attached. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) had her offices vandalized and a man with a handgun attended one of her townhalls.
This is not the First Crusade. But it is a language of violence too. Words have meaning and rhetoric/ language has consequences. Politicians of all stripes should be wary of making a devil's bargain, using potentially violent fringe groups for political expediency. These politicians should be aware that if they've stirred up the hornets and set them loose, they -- the politicians -- are ultimately responsible for any "unsavory" activities the hornets might get up to.
UPDATE, 3/26/10: An incident in Nashville, where an SUV rammed a car with an Obama bumper sticker, even pushing the car into an intersection.
UPDATE #2, 3/26/10: Adam Serwer at The American Prospect's (and Ta-Nehisi Coates') ideas on the entitlement in the Tea Party movement dovetails wells with what I'm saying above.
UPDATE 1/8/11: Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) is shot by a young, mentally disturbed, anti-government man named Jared Loughner.
UPDATE 1/10/11: This post by Acephalous is really good.

|Tier 3 Class
|Class traits
|Suggested Races
|Human Warlord, Elf Warlord, Gnome Warlord, Orc Warlord
|Class Challenges
|No challenges
|Level 3 Guild
Class Features
Note: Might grants you +30% attack bonus and reduces the resistances (both physical and magical) of the target of your next attack. This is identical to the effect of the BYSSEPS glyph.
The Human Warlord combines a race that specializes in physical damage output with a class that specializes in physical damage output. It's straightforward and effective.
Warlords love their CYDSTEPP glyph, but its high mana cost means they usually can only cast it one time during battle. With the expanded pool of an Elf Warlord, casting it one extra time is completely feasible. This also gives him more leeway to leverage utility glyphs in his attack routine. With the help of Mystera Annur he may even be able to use CYDSTEPP three times per battle.
Warlords get a bonus to their attack damage when they use mana potions, and gnomes have lots of mana potions. If there ever was an obvious combo, Gnome Warlord is it. You will likely want to utilize Jehora Jeheyu with this particular combo, as raising your max mana will take top priority.
Like the human, the Orc Warlord offers expanded damage output for a class that puts a lot of emphasis on physical attack power. Orcs will have a stronger early-game than humans, which they will need to leverage well since they fall behind in the late-game.
The Warlord is one of the most powerful physical combat specialists in the game. By chaining repeated death protections, the Warlord can edge in up to three extra hits over other classes, taking down monsters powerful enough to be considered untouchable to other classes. Low hit point monsters such as Gorgons, Goats, and Warlocks are the favoured prey of Warlords, who can level up extremely quickly from defeating higher-level monsters.
Warlords need to focus heavily on their offensive damage output, relying on CYDSTEPP to protect them from overwhelming enemy attacks. A Warlord can never have enough attack damage, and hit points matter little so long as he can just barely survive one attack. As a result, using preparations such as the HP->Attack booster swap is a very good idea, and purchasing items such as the Trisword or Fine Sword to boost your base attack are very useful.
For race selection, the Human, Orc, Elf, and Gnome all make excellent choices for the Warlord. Humans and Orcs boost their attack damage, which Warlords desperately want. With their larger mana pool, an Elf can increase the number of consecutive death protections a Warlord can gain in battle without having to use potions. The Gnome allows the Warlord to benefit from his Might effect from mana potions more frequently, although you will probably want to find a way to increase your maximum mana.
Warlords benefit enormously from worshipping Glowing Guardian, Jehora Jeheyu and Mystera Annur. He also benefits enormously from the boons of Tikki Tooki, but may have trouble keeping his piety above zero with that deity. The Earthmother is also a good choice, especially as a late-game conversion: her Clearance boon can be used several times, each time granting just enough mana to recast CYDSTEPP.

France marched into the World Cup quarterfinals after shading an absorbing contest against Nigeria in Brasilia.
- Brewin: Pogba pounces on Enyeama error
- Keshi: Nigeria can be a wonderful team
- Deschamps: France can do better
- Brewin: Pogba lived up to the hype vs. Nigeria
Les Bleus had been kept at bay by the African side, and given a few scares of their own, until a spell of intense pressure led to Paul Pogba heading them into the lead in the 79th minute before Joseph Yobo's own goal compounded the Super Eagles' misery.
For much of the match, Nigeria keeper Vincent Enyeama, who plays his club football in France for Lille, had defied the French, but it was his unfortunate blunder that allowed Juventus star Pogba the chance.
Until then, Enyeama had been heroic -- not least with a brilliant reaction save after Mathieu Valbuena had set Pogba up for a powerfully struck volley.
With Enyeama in such form, Didier Deschamps' France side could not afford to be wasteful, and Valbuena's promptings in midfield looked like the best avenue for attack. It was the Marseille midfielder who conjured a neat layoff into Mathieu Debuchy's path only for the Newcastle full-back to send his drive wide when a goal looked odds-on.
Valbuena's fast feet saw France open up the Nigerians again, but Olivier Giroud's shot on the turn was disappointing.
It wasn't one-way traffic, however, and Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny had to be smart to block out Peter Odemwingie when the Stoke striker threatened.
Blaise Matuidi then crunched Odemwingie, and from a promising position, Emmanuel Emenike blasted the free kick high and wide. Nigeria's Fenerbahce striker then got the ball in the net with a great finish but was flagged for offside.
Emenike's power posed a threat to the French, and he stung the hands of Hugo Lloris with a fizzing shot from 25 yards.
As the game entered the final phase, France began to exert control, perhaps aided by Lazio midfielder Ogenyi Onazi departing on a stretcher after a challenge by Matuidi, who was booked.
It had been a fairly miserable game for Giroud, who had not clicked at all with Karim Benzema, and he came off just after an hour for Antoine Griezmann.
The change had an immediate impact. Benzema's one-two with Griezmann on the edge of the box came off perfectly, but Enyeama managed to take the pace out of the Real Madrid striker's shot and Victor Moses hooked it clear off the line.
France continued to press, and Benzema's cross shot was scooped clear before Yohan Cabaye came as close as anyone had to scoring when his 20-yard strike crashed off the crossbar.
Finally, France made the breakthrough. It was hugely unfortunate for Enyeama that, having been so heroic, it was his flap at Valbuena's corner that saw the ball drop nicely for Pogba to direct a header into the unguarded net.
Enyeama made up for it with another fabulous stop to keep out Griezmann's fiercely struck effort, but France were not to be denied. Griezmann's step-over from Valbuena's cross saw the ball hit the unfortunate Yobo, who had broken Nigeria's World Cup appearance record, on the shin and roll into the net.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 25, 2011 – American Electric Power's (NYSE: AEP) Board of Directors has elected Nicholas K. Akins chief executive officer, effective Nov. 12. Akins, who will retain the position of president he has held since Jan. 1, will replace Michael G. Morris when Morris retires as CEO Nov. 11. Akins, 51, has also been elected to AEP's Board of Directors.
Morris, who will be 65 on Nov. 11, will continue as executive chairman of AEP's Board of Directors through Dec. 31, then serve as non-executive chairman of the board. Morris joined the company Jan. 1, 2004, as chairman, president and CEO. Carl English will retire as vice chairman, effective Dec. 31.
"I'm excited by the opportunity to help continue the extraordinary legacy of AEP," Akins said. "This company has had more than a century of strong financial performance, engineering and operational excellence and public policy leadership. I look forward to working with our talented management team as we build on these characteristics to continue to provide quality service to our customers and an attractive return to our investors."
"Nick will be an excellent leader for AEP," Morris said. "I've had that honor for the last eight years as our company, our industry and our nation have faced challenges ranging from economic to national public policy to technology. From a company perspective, we have worked to address each challenge in a way that best benefits our customers and our shareholders. But our nation faces difficult decisions on its energy future, decisions that will have a significant impact on our company and industry. Nick is the right person to lead AEP to continued success in this ever-changing environment."
Prior to being elected president, Akins served as executive vice president – generation for AEP, responsible for all generation activities of AEP's approximately 38,000 megawatts of generation resources. This included the engineering, construction and operations of fossil and hydro generation, nuclear generation, fuels procurement, emissions and logistics, and other resource initiatives such as new generation, environmental retrofits, and carbon capture and storage. Akins also was responsible for the commercial operations, marketing and trading functions of the company.
Previously, he was president and chief operating officer for Southwestern Electric Power Company, an AEP utility serving approximately 439,000 customers in Louisiana, Arkansas and northeast Texas. Named to this position in 2004, he had authority for distribution operations and a wide range of customer and regulatory relationships.
Prior to this, Akins was vice president – energy marketing services, responsible for directing the activities of Market Development, including the transmission marketing and services functions, and Energy Delivery External Affairs including community affairs, economic development, and advocacy for regulatory and legislative positions within Energy Delivery. Akins also was vice president – industry restructuring for AEP, responsible for enterprise-wide program management for restructuring initiatives in preparation for customer choice in AEP's various jurisdictions.
Before Central and South West Corp.'s (CSW) merger with AEP, he served in various director and manager roles within CSW and its operating companies involving mergers and acquisitions, industry restructuring, fuels, system dispatch operations and system planning.
Akins received a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in 1982 from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston and a master's degree in electrical engineering in 1986 also from Louisiana Tech. He has completed executive management programs at Louisiana State University, the University of Idaho and the Reactor Technology Course for Utility Executives at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Akins is a registered professional engineer in Texas. He currently serves as vice chairman of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and on the boards of the Mid-Ohio Food Bank, the Greater Columbus Arts Council, the Wexner Center for the Arts and the National Association of Manufacturers.
American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation's largest generators of electricity, owning nearly 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, a nearly 39,000-mile network that includes more 765-kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP's transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP's utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east Texas). AEP's headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio.
This report made by American Electric Power contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: Electric load and customer growth; weather conditions, including storms; available sources and costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness of fuel suppliers and transporters; availability of generating capacity and the performance of AEP's generating plants; the ability to recover regulatory assets and stranded costs in connection with deregulation; the ability to recover increases in fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates; the ability to build or acquire generating capacity when needed at acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs through applicable rate cases; new legislation, litigation and government regulation including requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon and other substances; timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions (including rate or other recovery for new investments, transmission service and environmental compliance); resolution of litigation (including pending Clean Air Act enforcement actions and disputes arising from the bankruptcy of Enron Corp.); AEP's ability to constrain its operation and maintenance costs; AEP's ability to sell assets at acceptable prices and on other acceptable terms, including rights to share in earnings derived from the assets subsequent to their sale; the economic climate and growth in its service territory and changes in market demand and demographic patterns; inflationary trends; its ability to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related commodities; changes in the creditworthiness and number of participants in the energy trading market; changes in the financial markets, particularly those affecting the availability of capital and AEP's ability to refinance existing debt at attractive rates; actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of debt; volatility and changes in markets for electricity, natural gas and other energy-related commodities; changes in utility regulation, including membership and integration into regional transmission structures; accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-setting bodies; the performance of AEP's pension and other postretirement benefit plans; prices for power that AEP generates and sells at wholesale; changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation and other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes and other catastrophic events.
Appalachian Power has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for up to 50 megawatts of solar energy resources in West Virginia.

The problem with making a kids' cartoon of classic horror movie monsters, is that, though they may turn up on your doorstep every Halloween, some of them have history. Some of them even have lawyers.
"We definitely had some copyright issues for the Universal monsters," says Hotel Transylvania director Genndy Tartakovsky, referring to the creatures who have been appearing in that studio's horror films since the 1930s.
"We couldn't use the bolts on Frankenstein, or a certain colour red on Dracula but we worked around those things creatively. These characters have been done so many different ways over the years. So we wanted to think of them as icons. How iconic Frankenstein was; how iconic Dracula was - and go from there."
Hotel Transylvania is a 3D Sony Pictures Animation production with Adam Sandler voicing Dracula as the protective solo father of a teenage daughter and proprietor of a backwoods hotel catering to ghouls wanting a break from frightening humans.
He's invited his oldest and dearest clients to the establishment to celebrate his daughter Mavis' 118th birthday.
Only an accidental guest turns out to be a "Jonathan". He's an American slacker-backpacker who takes quite a shine to Mavis and threatens the secure reputation of Dracula's establishment. Much kid-aimed hilarity ensues.
It's Moscow-born Chicago-raised Tartakovsky's first animated feature after an Emmy-winning career for the Cartoon Network likes of Star Wars: Clone Wars and Samurai Jack.
After animating all those television episodes, making a one-off big screen film in 3D was a challenge he says.
"On television if you get one episode wrong there is always another one. Here you have one opening weekend to get the story right, to get the characters, the humour, the entertainment right and if you don't, you've failed. So that kind of pressure definitely felt different."
Tartakovsky came into the project five years after it was first mooted - the initial idea for the film predated the great vampire uprising in pop culture in recent years. He says he was roped in to make a coherent movie out of what was a mess of character designs and story ideas.
Signing up Sandler meant taking the Dracula-dad concept down the broad comedy path.
"With Adam's it's funny, he's got two little girls and that is one of the reasons he did the movie. He wanted something for his kids that he could sit in the theatre and watch with them."
Sandler's name helped rope in a voice cast which includes Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, CeeLo Green, David Spade, Molly Shannon, and Fran Drescher.
"At first I thought there was going to be so much ad libbing we are not going to be able to control them," laughs Tartakovsky about his vocal cast, "but what I learned is they are such professionals about comedy, like scientists of comedy. If they liked a line and they think it's funny they will do whatever it takes to make that line perfect rather than going off and doing a thousand other variations on it."
Among those, singer and X-Factor judge Green plays Murray the Mummy, certainly the weightiest gauze-clad ghoul ever seen on the screen ("we wanted to make him big and boisterous and we had plenty of skinny characters already"), while Buscemi is the voice of Wayne, a woebegone werewolf ("he didn't have to do much. He just had to be miserable".).
But they are supporting players in a story about a doting dad struggling over the idea of letting his kid go out into the world.
It just happens to be set in a world of monsters - and zombies and witches, and much more - but the film is careful not to scare its intended audience or their parents. It's certainly not trying to be a Tim Burton movie.
"We didn't want to do anything dark and macabre. So it was really easy not to reference his movies at all.
"I don't want to say vaudeville but I think there's a silliness to the idea of the movie .. there aren't a lot of jokes where only the adults laugh."
What: Hotel Transylvania 3D
When: Opens at cinemas today.

Amino acids are the main component in the make-up of protein. There are 12 amino acids that can be made by the body, however, there are 8 others that are essential acids, meaning that they must be supplied through a high protein diet or the use of amino acid supplements. These amino acids are needed to stabilise metabolism, and maintain sufficient levels of nutrients. They make up each and every cell in our bodies and are vital to bodily functions, when we increase our workouts we use more energy, which in turn means we need to increase our amino acids to 'keep up'.

LOGAN, Utah (AP) Kyisean Reed scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead Utah State in a 75-66 victory over Seattle on Thursday night.
Utah State (12-1, 3-0 WAC) capitalized on Seattle's inability to take care of the basketball, scoring 26 points on 18 Redhawk turnovers.
The Aggies were 19 of 23 from the free-throw line and held off Seattle despite the Redhawks hitting 10 3-pointers and shooting 46.4 percent from the field in the game.
A Deshaun Sunderhaus dunk gave Seattle (5-7, 0-2) a 53-50 lead with 6:03 remaining in the game but the Aggies went on a 25-13 run from that point on. Spencer Butterfield gave Utah State a 55-53 lead on a 3-point basket with 5:08 to go and the Aggies never trailed again.
Sunderhaus ended up with 23 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and two blocked shots.
Preston Medlin scored 18 points and had five assists for Utah State.
