Microsoft mentions the toast as a visual element in the package manifest for Metro-style apps with the attribute
What does this mean?
A Toast is a non modal, unobtrusive window element used to display brief, auto-expiring windows of information to a user. Android OS makes relatively heavy use of them.
Here's an example of a Google Chrome toast notification on Mac OS X:
A list of descriptions of Toast windows on multiple platforms:
Luke Wroblewski in this blog post describes a use of this real time notification:
Also worth noting from the Android Developer Guide:
I learned the term from working with Android as well. We use them all the time to provide brief notifications "Item Saved to Favorites" is a common one. I think the biggest difference from a pop-up is that they are "auto-expiring." So anything with an OK/Cancel option would not be considered a toast. As for the origin of the term it could either be a reference to it popping up like toasted bread or like a dinner party toast "Something happened..Cheers!"
It means the application can provide alerts or notifications. From Metro Style Apps - VisualElements
Here is a more information: Creating and managing tiles, toast, and Windows push notifications and Quickstart: Creating a toast notification
Here are some screenshots of how "toast" notifications look in Windows 8 "Metro" apps and some screenshots in Windows Phone 7.

As the holiday season wraps up and the decorations are put away its important to remember that the need for donations in our area is still great.
One local food pantry says they need donations now more than ever.
As winter sets in the number of people who will go hungry without food assistance increases.
"I have four children and canned goods is a big part of a meal and that will fill them up and that's one thing you don't have to worry about your children going hungry,"says a woman who uses a food pantry.
State Street Baptist Church on average feeds 20 families, but in the last month they've served at least 40.
"The increase has almost tripled and I think the economy has been a big part of that problem. People cannot find jobs and they are hungry and we've seen them come in a single people to large families,"says Pastor Freddie Brown, State Street Baptist Church.
"During the winter months people can't get around as much because of the extreme weather,"says Pastor Brown.
Pastor has a challenge for those who think homelessness is not an issue in Bowling Green.
"I've challenged them I've said if you would go down to the river and look under the bridge sometime and you will find people there all the time,"says Pastor Brown.
And now they are calling on you to help.
"The places that we used to buy food from they can't assist that much anymore because the many disasters that are happening they give it to those areas, so we don't get the extra help,"says Pastor Brown.
"It helps a lot of needy families. Families worse of than mine,"says the woman who uses a food pantry.
The State Street Baptist Church food pantry is open Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays from 9am to 1pm.

Welcome from the Cancer Center Director
Last Modified: November 1, 2001
The The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania is delighted to present the second Confronting Cancer Through Art exhibition. This extraordinary event gives vision and voice to the experiences of those who have confronted cancer.
The courage of families, friends and patients inspires us to continue our efforts at finding a cure. As we come to understand more about cancer, we come closer to our goal. But along the way, we have learned that our triumphs are not just in the laboratory, but in the faces of our patients as they portray the essence of grace, strength and determination. We feel privileged to care for them and their families.
We are grateful to the Arthur Ross Gallery for presenting these works. And we thank Nancy, Bruce, Patricia, Ian, and all the artists who shared their stories, talent, and vision. We are also most appreciative of the continued support and inspiration of Vivian and Meyer P. Potamkin.

I have had Ubuntu 12.04 x86 (32-bit) for a while now and decided to erase it and reinstall it just to clear some memory and start over.
I have performed this operation before and it worked fine, but after restarting this time, I got an ELF header smaller than expected error and a grub rescue prompt. I am not so concerned about the error this time because I know that the operating systems and all my files are still there (at least I think they are after running the
ls command at the prompt - example drive: (hd1, msdos6)?).
I would boot from the Live CD and make changes inside, but the optical drive does not work, and my Dell Optiplex GX260 does not have the BIOS capability to boot from the USB drive I installed. I have done some research, and it sounds like GRUB is corrupted and/or did not install right. Maybe this had something to do with the fact that it was already installed, or where it was installed.
Do I have to set the path and root drive for GRUB, or what can I do to get the operating system up and working again?

Not so much a question about eating at work, but eating breakfast and dinner.
What I've been finding is that I don't have anything else to do while eating. I can't write emails etc. Sitting and just eating is boring.
Now, probably having a partner to eat with, would be quite nice, and you can dedicate the whole time to 'us time' but, seeing as I'm single, this one is ruled out.
What I've been finding myself doing is watching TV, or using the internet, but the problem with this is it can extend into time after you've finshed eating ('I'll just finish this episode').

When I am looking to create some timestamp fields (or other date/time style fields), what is the best way to name them? Should I just put record_timestamp?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

You should describe the purpose of the column and not necessarily the data type. You can include date/time/timestamp in the name, but you should also include the meaning. For example
Adding Date/Time/Timestamp and such at the end is particularly useful when the abscence of the addition would conflict with another column. For example, a table may need both a Status and a StatusTime.
How about
Normally I'd avoid including the data type in the field name - much better if you can infer what you need to know about the type from the name of any field (a field called
I use:
I looked at your profile and it says you work with SQL Server and in SQL Server TIMESTAMP data type has nothing to do with date or time and its used to kind of version stamping the rows. This is very useful in identifying which rows have been modified from a given point of time.
If you use TIMESTAMP then you don't have to specify a column name and SQL Server will create a column "TimeStamp" for you. But it is recommended to use "ROWVERSION" data type and in this case you have to specify the column name.
What's the best name for a column like this? It depends, and I would use something like VersionStamp, RV etc... What I consider important is NOT how you name it but are you using that consistently across the board.
Ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms182776(v=sql.90).aspx
I prefer to use a prefix of DT for date stamps. For example: DTOpened, DTClosed, DTLastAccessed. This lets me list out all the DTxxxx for a quick reference of all date stamps in a given table.
I would used a meaningful prefix and _TSMP as a suffix e.g. CREATION_TSMP or LAST_UPDATE_TSMP
I work for Texas Instruments, and on their systems they use xxxx_dttm

Prince Nayef chairs Cabinet meeting
July 27, 2009
Second Deputy Prime Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz began the Cabinet meeting in Jeddah today by conveying the reassurances of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah that Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz is in good health. The King traveled to Agadir on July 23 to visit the Crown Prince, who is resting in Morocco following successful surgery earlier this year.
Prince Nayef then briefed the Cabinet on King Abdullah's communications with foreign leaders and officials last week, including a message he received from French President Nicolas Sarkozy and his face-to-face meeting with General David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command.
The Cabinet welcomed The Hague's ruling on the demarcation of borders in Abyei, describing the decision as a positive step towards enhancing stability and encouraging peaceful coexistence.
The ministers also hailed the outcome of the emergency meeting of Arab Health Ministers held in Cairo on July 22, during which strategies were discussed to prevent the spread of the H1N1 virus (swine flu) during the Hajj season. The Cabinet endorsed plans to organize a consultative meeting with the Heads of Medical Missions to make sure the preventative measures are fully adopted.
Turning to its agenda, the Cabinet authorized the Second Deputy Prime Minister to negotiate a draft agreement with Jordan on the transfer of prisoners; approved the final statement of accounts of the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities for fiscal year 1427/1428 H; approved the Saudi Employment Strategy, which aims at increasing employment and productivity; and authorized the Minister of Social Affairs to sign an agreement with Egypt for the creation of an executive program for cooperation in the field of social affairs.
Finally, the Cabinet approved the appointment of Ibrahim Al-Shithri as Administrative Advisor at the Riyadh Governorate (15th rank); Saad Al-Shihri as Director General of the National Center for Meteorology and Environment Protection at the General Presidency of Meteorology and Environment Protection (14th rank); Salih Ala'mairah as Secretary of the Regional Council at the Riyadh Governorate (14th rank); Nabil Al-Twail as Advisor for Rights Affairs at the Riyadh Governorate (14th rank); and Abdullah Al-Qarni as Undersecretary of the Mayor for Services in the Eastern Region Municipality (14th rank).

STEUBENVILLE - Matthew Belardine, who was indicted by the special grand jury investigating aspects of the Steubenville rape case, was sentenced to 10 days in jail on Tuesday for allowing underage drinking at his parent's house and for not initially telling the truth to investigators.
A night of drinking in August 2012 led up to a Weirton girl being raped by two Steubenville High School students. The Belardine house on Wilma Avenue was the first house where a group of high school students were drinking that night.
Belardine came home that night to find his sister had invited friends over, said Dennis McNamara, Belardine's attorney. The Belardines' parents weren't home that weekend. He went upstairs to his room but came downstairs and told the 50 or so people at the party to quiet down, but the teens ignored him. About an hour later, Belardine told everyone to leave because the party had become too large and were making too much noise, McNamara said.

SENTENCED — Attorney Dennis McNamara of Columbus, left, talked with Matthew Belardine prior to Belardine being sentenced to 10 days in jail in Jefferson County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday. Belardine pleaded no contest to allowing undeage drinking at his parent's house on Wilma Avenue and for providing a false statement to law enforcement. He was one of six people indicted by a special grand jury investigating aspects of the Steubenville rape case. - Mark Law
"He did the right thing, but didn't do it quickly enough," McNamara said. "He should have been more responsible and kicked them out as soon as he came through the door."
Belardine initially told police investigators he came home around midnight on the night of the party and told the teens to leave. He then changed the time to 11:15 p.m. and later told the special grand jury the time was 10 p.m.
McNamara said Belardine was intimidated and nervous about being questioned by law enforcement and gave false answers.
McNamara said Belardine has never been in trouble with the law in his life.
"He does accept responsibilities for the mistakes he made," McNamara said.
Angela Canepa, Ohio assistant attorney general, said Belardine didn't provide any alcohol but was aware of the drinking. Canepa said Belardine told the special grand jury he shouldn't have let the teens leave the house in their intoxicated condition.
Visiting Judge Patricia Cosgrove asked Belardine why he tried to get his sister, Kamy, to lie to police about the party. Belardine denied that, saying he had a discussion about things the police may be asking about in the initial stages of the rape investigation.
Cosgrove told Belardine, who was a volunteer coach on the Big Red freshman football team, that he was 24 years old at the time and the kids looked up to him. "You had an obligation to give them guidance," she said. The judge also said she didn't see a lot of remorse by Belardine.
Belardine said he didn't make the right decision quick enough to stop the party.
"I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
"I learned a valuable lesson. No matter what, tell the truth no matter who it affects," Belardine added.
Cosgrove said nobody knows if Belardine had stopped the drinking that the events of the evening would have taken a different path.
Cosgrove suspended a six-month sentence but said there has to be some penalty for not telling law enforcement the truth. Belardine will report to the county jail at 10 a.m. on Friday. The judge also issued fines totaling $1,000. He will be on probation for one year.
Charges of obstructing official business and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile were dismissed when Belardine pleaded no contest to the other charges.
McNamara, after the sentencing, said his client knew the judge could impose a jail sentence even though the attorney general's office was not recommending jail time.
"I wouldn't have done that, but it isn't my decision to make," McNamara said of Cosgrove's sentence. "I can't say if the 10 days in jail is not unfair."
When asked if the sentence sends a message to the community about underage drinking, McNamara said, "The problem with sending that message is the people who need to hear it aren't listening."

In 4th Monster Manual, the Dragons all have an ability that recharges their breath weapon and has them use it interrupting flow of combat. Does this use expend any charge they may have built up before being bloodied?

No, the breath weapon would not be charged.
The breath weapon can only be charged or uncharged.
Taking the Young Red Dragon as an example, first the regular charged action:
and the triggered action:
Per the rules, the recharge roll is done every turn regardless of whether or not the power is spent (Rules Compendium p91):
There is no note to only roll during turns when the power is uncharged. This makes the situation very analogous to the triggered action which might also recharge a already charged power. Either way, if the power is used, it is spent. You cannot store up charges.

I've been reading through a couple of posts about how to prevent your system from being hacked and I would like to know how a hacker actually knows how to exploit the system? For example, everyone says that one should use parametization as a defence against SQL injection, which the hacker could use to drop a table for instance. But how does the hacker know what tables are available in the DB? I guess maybe the hacker could submit a query to get a list of all tables in the DB, but I'm not too sure.
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 10 '09 at 14:13
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I can show you a couple of real examples:
You put this into your web browesr:
and in return you get this message:
Now this just got me the database and its version. Usefull information for a hacker. Then I notice they are running open source forum. I download the forum and check out the available tables (this can also be retrieved by other means such as further exploiting the error messages). The following query is a result of exploiting error messages to the point where Ive revealed alot of the information in the table Im querying against:
Once you know a variable which you can exploit for SQL injection you can then start building queries like this:
Wow! I just created me a user...
Now I got the md5 hash of the password + salt ... I'm sure you get the point! Sanitise your data.
You can read more about SQL injection papers at sites like
When you talk about programmers/hackers then most of it is just based on experience. I do consider myself a hacker and am real proud of this title too! (Which is why I feel insulted that this Q moved to SuperUser!)
There are, of course, other kinds of hackers who just learned a few tricks from others and possibly even share a few tricks. But if you wonder about security then you must know all possible weaknesses of current systems. And this knowledge can be used in good ways or bad ways. It's not the knowledge that makes it bad, it's the person who misuses it that makes it bad. (Just like guns...)
Whenever I start designing a new project where security is important, I start by evaluating possible weaknesses. These tend to be the same at all times: user databases, Code injection and buffer overflows are the most common attacks. But there are several other ways to bypass security if you're familiar with the code behind it.
For example, if someone uses phpBB on their website, they already have a big security problem! The database structure of phpBB is well-known thus hackers are already familiar with it's layout. The same is true for other open-source projects. Fortunately, some of those hackers (like me) will examine the source to find these weaknesses and then report them to the creator so these weaknesses will be closed. This is the main advantage of open-source: many eyes that can all examine the code for possible security flaws.
With a site like SuperUser, things will become a bit of guesswork but a name like "user" or "UserData" tends to be very common. A name like "LKJHGFDSA" to store user data would be a lot harder to guess but also makes it less clear what it's used for. Obfuscation of code and data structures will make it slightly more difficult for hackers but they'll just start examining the code and translate everything back to regular names.
Knowing how to write application will give a big advantage at hacking, although it's not a requirement. Unfortunately, most programmers are not interested enough in security and assume too much, leading to some very serious security problems. A website of the company I work for uses a simple database structure which stores usernamed in plaintext and their passwords as SHA-hashed strings. I have pointed out how insecure this is and realize why it's still secure enough. This weak password scheme is good enough simply because the information behind it isn't interesting for most hackers to access. (And the site is unknown to most people outside the company. Besides, part of it is only accessable through the Intr**a**net, not from outside out domain.
In general, a hacker is someone who learned about weaknesses and strengths of applications. Most of them are programmers.
Easiest way? Guesswork. How many systems have a table called users, for instance.
To answer your question in lay-man terms: The hacker tries to find a way to do bad things on the system, for which it needs to have some kind of way to get the bad things on the target system. He searches for the spots that have a high chance to be weak and tries some known exploits against it, from there he can do the things that are able to be done through the exploit. The hacker uses things that are visible on the outside the system, when he has access he can continue to use the things visible inside the system.
To answer your question in jargon: The hacker targets the SQL database to either gain data or damage the data, he can perform this through SQL injection. He searches for a way to input where the chance on a security check is small, from there he exploits the database by listing the SQL tables and then asking information and dropping as he pleases. Thus, for this he knew there was the usage of a SQL DB, and when he has access he can see the tables.
Generally speaking, for real applications it goes down to guess work, finding vulnerabilities, intercepting and changing packets, etc.
For web applications it involves visiting the web pages and finding out what programs they are running, and again, finding vulnerabilities for the version run, or intercepting streams such as requests.
I can't tell you how many applications have plain text or bad authentication, for example, it may be that you login and it returns a cookie called logged-in, and in there is something called user-level, and it can be changed to admin... This is just an example and many are much better, but you still see it from time to time.
You can get to the tables via sql injection just as well as you can drop a table.

In 1973, Robert Kuo immigrated to the United States and opened a studio for cloisonné in Beverly Hills. Kuo cultivated a clientele that appreciated the way he "opened up" Chinese tradition. Utilizing the influences of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, Kuo introduced new shapes, finishes, and objects to cloisonné. It was during this time that the Smithsonian's Sackler Gallery acquired his "Goldfish Bowl", with its lively naturalism.
Robert Kuo offers a wide variety of decorative objects, from small tabletop pieces to furniture and large landscaping elements. The work can be seen around the world, from the National History Museum in Taipei to exclusive hotels like the Singapore Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco's Hotel Palomar, Las Vegas MGM Grand Villas and New York Four Seasons. He is inspired by organic forms found in nature, as well as the timeless "motifs" of the Chinese Han and Ming dynasties - often combining them with Deco and Nouveau influences. Sophisticated design showrooms in the U.S. and Europe such as McGuire and Baker Furniture represent Robert Kuo accessories and lighting, while Gump in San Francisco sells special pieces and holds Kuo exhibition twice a year.
While most of his recent work has been in repousse, he has designed a new collection of cloisonné lighting for McGuire. "Robert Kuo is the late 20th early 21st Century representation of the imperial artisan." - Clarence Shangraw, chief curator emeritus, for the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Tsui Museum of Art, and The Trammell and Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art. Avid and enthusiastic collectors await new Kuo designs. He reinterprets the past for the present and future.
A visit to Robert Kuo's showroom is an aesthetic inspiration. Its soaring, sunlit space serves as an appropriate backdrop for timeless, evocative quality of his pieces. This is reinforced by a selection of Asian antiques collected by Kuo in his travels. Elegant displays and tasteful furnishings contribute to an environment that is at once both peaceful and exciting. Perhaps Robert Kuo owes his longevity to his passion for the eternal, for forms that have stood the test of time.

Holiday Stress-Busters: Advice for Parents
In This Article:
How can you beat back the dread and have the family holiday of your dreams? "Start by lowering your expectations," advises Vernon. "Be more realistic about what you can do. This usually involves changing the tradition it can be equally as good, but it has to be unique to your family." The following tips can help:
1. Reassess and Prioritize
Holiday stress sets in when you try to do it all. "Stress is an emotional reaction to circumstances that you feel are out of control," says Vernon. "To cope, take some time out, rethink what's stressing you out, and look for alternatives." Vernon also advises changing your demands to preferences: Tell yourself, "If I have time, I'll do this and that. If not, I'll only do that."
2. Delegate!
Does the house need cleaning or decorating? Let each family member be responsible for a room. Or Vernon suggests, create a "job jar." Everybody takes a turn choosing what his or her job will be. Jobs can be color-coded according to age. "When you delegate, you have to make your expectations clear to your kids, and you may have to lower your standards a little bit," says Vernon.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - After years of running multiple offices throughout the Upper Ohio Valley, coal producer Murray Energy Corp. consolidated operations at its new 60,000-square-foot headquarters.
However, founder and Chief Executive Officer Robert Murray said if he had known four years ago how much damage President Obama's "war on coal" would cause for his industry, he probably would not have built the new structure.
"I am very proud of the commitment we made to the people of Eastern Ohio. But due to the destruction of the coal industry, it has not turned out as we had planned because we will not have as many employees as we thought we would have," said Murray. "We made a plan four years ago to build this building to achieve efficiency and savings - and we have done that."

NEW HEADQUARTERS — Murray Energy Corp. — parent company of American Energy Corp.'s Century Mine and the Ohio Valley Coal Co.'s Powhatan No. 6 mine — consolidated 149 offices in a new 60,000-square-foot headquarters west of St. Clairsville.
-- Casey Junkins
The parent company of American Energy Corp.'s Century Mine and the Ohio Valley Coal Co.'s Powhatan No. 6 mine moved the offices into a four-story structure built just off National Road between state Route 331 and the East Richland Evangelical Friends Church. Murray said the roughly 150 employees who work at the headquarters previously were "scattered" in separate offices located in Belmont, Monroe, Jefferson and Ohio counties.
The new headquarters houses the corporation's central operating, engineering, maintenance, geologic, purchasing, accounting, information systems, environmental and sales staff.
"Employees within the same departments had to make long distance phone calls to conduct their work. It is much easier to have them under the same roof to communicate with each other," Murray said.
In addition to the local mines, Murray operates the Ohio Valley Transloading Co. in Powhatan Point; the KenAmerican Resources Inc. Paradise Mine in western Kentucky; the American Coal Co.'s New Future No. 5 and New Era mines in southern Illinois; and the UtahAmerican Energy Inc. West Ridge Mine and Wildcat Loadout in eastern Utah.
Murray said Obama's policies are forcing him to close active mines and delay or cancel the opening of previously planned new mines. Earlier this year, Murray closed the Red Bird West mine near Brilliant. At the time, 56 people worked at the facility, but employment levels there reached as high as 239 when the mine opened in 2007. Murray also cut 29 mining jobs from the Powhatan No. 6 Mine.
Murray said Obama's policies are leading to the closure of coal mines and coal-fired power plants throughout the nation. He said this is taking about 83,000 megawatts of coal-fired electricity off the market, leading to increased energy costs for the U.S.
"Nevertheless, we are here, and we will do the best we can," Murray added regarding the headquarters.

The 5 Most Badass Movie Scenes That Happened in Real Life
#2. Ramming an Enemy Ship Out of Desperation (and Winning)
This happens often enough in movies that it has its own TV Tropes page. If you're in a wounded warship, either on the sea, below the sea, or in outer space, your last resort is always just to crash your ass crazily into the enemy vessel. It's one of those heroic and spectacular acts of self-sacrifice that's perfect for the big screen and nowhere else.
If you like old-timey war movies, you can see this at the climax of The Enemy Below, a 1957 Academy Award-winning film about a battle between a U.S. Navy ship and a German U-boat, which culminates in the American ship ramming the sub in desperation (and winning the battle, as the good guys get rescued shortly after). In The Abyss, they acted this out with a couple of mini-submarines.
It's like Bullitt on Valium.
When you take the ships into outer space, this happens seemingly once per movie -- the Star Trek reboot featured two ship-on-ship rammings, and there was another in Star Trek: Nemesis. It also happened in Prometheus, which would probably be considered a spoiler if it hadn't been shown in the trailer.
The Reality:
... is much, much crazier than anything you've seen in a movie.
The USS Borie, commanded by Lieutenant Commander Charles Hutchins, was an aging destroyer dating back to the World War I era. Yet she still found herself in frontline service during World War II participating in the Battle of the Atlantic, also known as the world's most elaborate game of "depth charge slalom" ever seen.
"Hah, miss! All you did was blow out our eardrums."
On November 1, 1943, the Borie and her crew found themselves facing off against the German U-boat U-405. Hutchins casually ordered some depth charges dropped on top of it, forcing U-405 to the surface. And that's when the fun began. It turned out U-405 was a special type of U-boat that happened to have a whole mess of surface guns on it as well. It was well-enough armed that when it reached the surface, rather than try to make a run for it, it decided to duke it out with the American destroyer, toe to toe.
For an hour, the two ships fired salvo after salvo, shot after shot, and insult after insult. After both ships were good and damaged, Hutchins decided to take things to the next level by giving the order most of us can only dream about: "GIVE ME RAMMING SPEED!" The USS Borie slammed into U-405 at 25 knots, slicing through the submarine ... and causing the two vessels to become stuck together like conjoined twins.
"Well? What is ze plan now, dummkopf?"
With both crews close enough to spit on each other, the ridiculousness of the battle was upped about 30 notches. Both captains decided to continue fighting, and since the ship's guns couldn't angle downward far enough to hit the submarine, the Borie's crew grabbed anything and everything they could and just lobbed them at the German crew, who responded in kind.
For ten minutes, the two crews flung empty shells, knives, and flares back and forth. Eventually the two ships were separated again, whereupon both sank, with the Americans getting rescued shortly after. Which we guess makes them the winners?
But it still didn't stop them from telling everyone in the bar how it was a total blowout.
We'll stop there, but remember when we said that this happens so often in fiction that TV Tropes has a whole list of them? Well, ship ramming has happened so often in real life that Wikipedia has a whole list of those, too.
#1. Rafe and Danny's Ridiculous Heroics in Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor
OK, wait a minute. After we made fun of Michael Bay in the article's intro, it's going to turn out that a particularly ridiculous scene from a Michael Bay movie actually happened?
Yes. And it happened almost exactly as it was portrayed.
In Pearl Harbor, Danny and Rafe spend the night of December 6 at a bar getting drunk and then passing out early in the morning. The next day, they are awakened by what they think are U.S. Navy drills, but are actually the sounds of incoming Japanese aircraft bombing the hell out of the harbor. Quickly realizing what's going on, they make a call and order two aircraft loaded up.
"Get up! We need to protect Kate Beckinsale's amazing rack!"
They then jump into their car and race toward the airfield at full speed, being shot at by Japanese planes the whole way because, hey, it's a Michael Bay movie. Once at the field, they rapidly take off (without permission) as the airfield is attacked around them. Once in the air, they proceed to kick some serious ass, shooting down Japanese aircraft left and right, before landing.
It has all of the classic elements of a Michael Bay masculine fantasy: heroism while grossly defying authority, ridiculous badassery in the face of overwhelming odds, all while battling a hangover from a night of manly drinking with the dudes. Hell, he probably just copied the scene from Bad Boys or The Rock.
The Reality:
That whole story is true, almost verbatim. Except in real life, their names were George Welch and Kenneth Taylor.
"Rock Paper Scissors, best out of three. Loser gets played by Ben Affleck."
After spending the night of December 6 getting drunk and having fun, the two men passed out early in the morning. The next day, they were awakened by the sounds of what they thought were U.S. Navy drills, but turned out to be Japanese aircraft swooping in and destroying everything in sight.
Quickly realizing that they didn't want to sit there and do nothing, they called the small, relatively unknown Haleiwa Fighter Strip and ordered two aircraft readied for a fight.
"Yeah, two planes, ammo, fuel, and ... what? Who else would be calling?!"
The two then hopped into a car and sped all the way to the airfield. And they were totally shot at by the Japanese planes, just like in the movie.
Once they arrived at the airfield, they jumped into their aircraft and took off, without permission. From there they proceeded to take on any Japanese planes they happened across, despite being outnumbered a mind-blowing 175 to 1.
And the AI was on "brutal."
After shooting down a few Japanese, the two landed back at Wheeler Airfield to re-arm, where they were ordered not to take off again because their superiors feared that it was a suicide mission. However, when the second wave of Japanese fighters came in, their superiors ran for cover. While Welch and Taylor took off by driving through the grass. Just like in the damn movie.
At the end of the day, the two had shot down between four and six Japanese planes before finally landing themselves back on the ground, where they were promptly yelled at for not doing anything by an officer who was completely unaware of what they had just done.

A man suffered burns to his hands while trying to put out a kitchen fire Thursday at a Leavenworth apartment, according to a Fire Department official.
The man, who also inhaled smoke, was treated at the scene by Leavenworth County EMS personnel. A family member transported him to the hospital for additional treatment, according to fire Capt. Shawn Kell.
The fire was reported at 11:10 p.m. Thursday at an apartment at 913 Brookside St.
The apartment's occupant apparently had started heating cooking oil. It boiled over, resulting in the fire.
"The occupant made several attempts to extinguish the fire," Kell said.
This is when he suffered the burns and smoke inhalation.
The fire was extinguished by members of the Leavenworth Fire Department.
Kell said flame and heat damage from the fire was limited to the kitchen area but there was moderate smoke damage elsewhere in the apartment. The fire is estimated to have caused $7,000 in damage.

Post Offices Cut Hours, USPS Eyes $15.9B Loss
GLEN DALE – McMechen and Glen Dale residents opposed reduced mail service hours proposed Thursday, but U.S. Postal Service representatives said their economic situation has left them no choice.
Reducing operating hours for the communities' post offices is part of what USPS Manager of Post Office Operations Curtis Williams called the "POST Plan." The decision, though not official yet, came in response to surveys taken by residents in both cities.
"Like many businesses, the postal service is going through some tough financial times right now," said Williams. "Contrary to popular belief, we are not supported by tax dollars."
Williams said post offices across the nation are undergoing changes, reducing the costs of personnel, transportation and maintenance.
"Instead of closing offices, we are reducing hours of operation to maintain community presence," Williams said.
According to Williams, the postal service blames the Internet for its loss of business. It lost about $40 billion in retail transactions that instead took place on the Internet over the past few years, and those losses are not being recovered.
The survey gave residents several options: Residents had the choice of selecting a realignment of hours, which would keep local offices open but at reduced hours; shutting down local post offices and providing roadside mailbox delivery; shutting down the federal post office and letting one operate by a contractor at a local business; or shutting down post offices and letting residents seek postal services in a neighboring community.
Out of 1,416 surveys issued to Glen Dale residents, 542 were returned with 92 percent of those people voting for a realignment of hours. According to the new plan, the Glen Dale Post Office would be open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to noon and 1-4 p.m. On Saturday, the hours would be 9 a.m. to noon.
In McMechen, 951 surveys were distributed and 243 returned. Like Glen Dale, the majority of residents, 91 percent, voted for a realignment of hours. The new schedule for McMechen would be Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to noon, and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday.
After the plans were revealed in separate community meetings Thursday, the floor was left open for discussion. Any suggestions were recorded to be reviewed by the U.S. Postal Service, as the POST Plan has yet to go into effect. There were several negative reactions.
Rose Hart of Appalachian Outreach Inc. said she disliked the lunchtime closing in Glen Dale.
"A lot of people on lunch break have to do their post office business then," Hart said. "I would hope some consideration would be given for that."
One of only two people who showed up to discuss McMechen's postal services at 7 p.m., Susan Chincheck spoke about challenges working people could face with the post office open for only four hours a day.
"For people that actually work, this is not convenient," Chincheck said.
She noted that 8 a.m. to noon is a time when most people are working and cannot make it to the post office. Chincheck suggested that if service has to be reduced to four hours a day, the time should be split between morning and afternoon. She recommended 8-10 a.m., then 2-4 p.m.
"That way, people who work at least get a chance to make it to the post office," said Chincheck.
"We have to make changes to stay open," Williams told residents. "If we don't make decisions, there won't be a post office."

The Cleveland International Film Festival is the largest and most prestigious festival in the MidWest. April 9th will be the Premiere of the film Speechless.
Speechless examines sexual assault and recovery through power / powerlessness, empathy, communication, and gender stereotypes.
Desmond has a secret he cannot share with anyone. His grades are slipping, rumors are swirling and he feels powerless, especially when he sees his sister being hurt too. With the support of his father and a new friend, Desmond is able to tell his story of being sexually assaulted and end the cycle of abuse. Desmond regains his power when he uses his voice.
Speechless was written by Cleveland high school student Roxanne Lasker-Hall in response to the Scenarios USA REAL DEAL curriculum and writing contest. The film is directed by Karyn Kusama (Girlfight and Jennifer's Body).

7 True Stories of Animals Rescuing People from Certain Death
You don't have to be pulled out of a well by a plucky collie to know that there is such a thing as hero animals. But when you think of them, you probably picture disaster rescue dogs or a chimp sheriff ... the usual stuff. What you don't picture are lions, gorillas and even whales throwing themselves in harm's way to save some helpless human. But you will now ...
#7. Lions Save Girl from Kidnappers
When you think about which animal you least want to show up when you're wounded and helpless, lions pretty much take the cake (and your face, and then some limbs, because they're lions). They're 300-pound, 6-foot-long cats that look at you as nothing more than a delicacy at a fancy lion restaurant they like to call Africa. But as we've noted before, lions also have a softer kitten center that leads them to care for some unlikely creatures.
Johnny Nunez / Getty
Lil Wayne was nursed by a lioness from age 1 to 17.
In this instance, it's a 12-year-old Kenyan girl who had been missing for a week. It turned out that she had been abducted by several men who were trying to force her to marry one of them (because who has time for romance?). But when the authorities finally found her, she was alone, her kidnappers having fled. Instead, she was surrounded by three lions that had scared away, and hopefully maimed, her captors.
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Goddamn lions, that's who.
The police said that the lions had been guarding her for about half a day when they got there, not only abstaining from munching on the little girl themselves, but also making sure that nothing else got close to her. When the police finally arrived, the lions departed, perhaps roaring "Everybody gets one" as they left.
Experts say that the lions might have been reacting to the girl's tears as if they were the mews of a lion cub, but we all know the real reason: The little girl is a Beastmaster.
#6. Gorilla Saves 3-Year-Old Boy
Scott Olson / Getty
The reason you can keep a wild animal in a zoo without it constantly trying to jump out and murder visitors is that most animals are territorial. They are enclosed in a space that they can call their own, and as long as those borders are respected, they are happy to eat, frolic and mate for the entertainment of gawking onlookers.
"Step on the white tile. See what happens."
But that territorial bubble was popped by a 3-year-old boy at the Brookfield Zoo in Illinois -- he was right over the gorilla enclosure when he fell over the fence. The 18-foot drop left him unconscious and with a critical head injury. Since gorillas can be dangerously persnickety with their territory, the police were barred from immediate action -- who wants to see a violent battle between a SWAT team and a huge herd of gorillas? Except everyone?
So, with a child in need and no help in sight, Binti Jua stepped in. And as much as that sounds like Indian Superman, it wasn't. Binti just happened to be one of the zoo's gorillas.
Tim Boyle / Getty
Although we guess breast-feeding sort of counts as a superpower.
Binti came to the boy's aid by cradling him in her arms and then bringing him to the enclosure door, where paramedics could get to him. The police and staff were quick to note that without Binti's assistance, the situation could have been much worse.
Oof Ajab Axi
"We're all just lucky she didn't Kong out."
And in case you think we're just misunderstanding the gorilla's actions, it's actually not an isolated incident. Back in the 1980s, another kid fell into a gorilla enclosure, at Jersey Zoo. That time, the gorilla was a male silverback who watched over the unconscious boy and led away the rest of his troop when paramedics arrived. One has to wonder if these gorillas are naturally empathetic to our young or if they just feel sorry for how stupid we apparently are.
#5. Whale Saves Drowning Diver
We don't know if you've noticed, but China is quickly supplanting Japan as the world's leader in weird-ass news stories. This is a perfect example, because everything about this tale is ridiculous.
It starts with the Polarland Aquarium in Harbin, China, which held a free diving contest in their 20-foot-deep, arctic-temperature whale tank with seven divers who were not allowed to use breathing apparatus. The winning prize was to apply for a job as a whale trainer. Shit! What did the janitors have to do to apply for their jobs? Fight to the death with flaming mops?
"Whoever braves my frigid kingdom will earn the right to feed me raw fish in the bitter cold."
Anyway, 26-year-old Yang Yun was one of the seven lucky divers to participate. Upon reaching the bottom of the pool, her leg cramped and prevented her from swimming properly. Damn it, who could have known that something like this could happen in a diving contest held without breathing equipment in frozen water?
In her panic, she began to choke, which would have led to her imminent drowning in the land that safety regulations and liability insurance forgot. That is, if Mila, one of the two beluga whales in the tank, didn't see the trouble and swim to her rescue.
Daily Mail
Yang Yun, the human floaty toy.
Mila grabbed Yang Yun's leg with her mouth and started forcefully pushing her to the surface. The diver survived, and likely wouldn't have without Mila's help. At this point, we can only assume that aquarium officials shrugged and said, "See? The whale saved her. What's the problem?"
Daily Mail
"The system works!"
#4. Pig Saves Owner from Heart Attack
Annie O'Neill / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette via Old Post-Gazette
LuLu the butt-ugly potbellied pig started out as a birthday present given to a woman who couldn't even be bothered to take her home. So the b-day girl's mom, Jo Ann, took the pig instead, partly out of pity, and partly out of anticipation of having ham for Easter lunch. The point is, the pig didn't seem likely to do anything useful anytime soon.
Old Post-Gazette
The damned thing looks like it can barely stand up.
But apparently what LuLu lacked in glamour she made up for in moxie. When Jo Ann had a heart attack, LuLu took one look and sprang into action -- by giving her owner open-heart surgery with her snout. Just kidding -- LuLu bolted for help, which was heroic in itself, considering her girth. The problem was that she had never left the fenced yard before. How would a 150-pound ham ball manage a fence latch? We'll never know, but we've got money on Porky walking upright.
Either way, LuLu escaped her yard and found a highway. She waited for a car to come by, then walked out into the middle of the road and LAID DOWN TO TRY TO GET THE CARS TO STOP. When no one stopped, Lulu would intermittently go back to Jo Ann to make sure she was OK. After 45 minutes of drivers thinking it was perfectly natural to have to swerve to avoid a giant pig on the highway, someone finally stopped to see what was up with Boss Hog using the street for a bed.
Old Post-Gazette
"... and that's when I ate their tires."
He followed LuLu back to the house and discovered that Jo Ann had suffered a heart attack. He called the paramedics, and Jo Ann was saved. As a reward, LuLu received her favorite treat: a jelly doughnut. Which seems kind of cheap, but hey, it's still just a damned pig.

STEUBENVILLE - The unbeaten and state-ranked Catholic Central Crusaders took care of business on Homecoming/Hall of Fame Saturday at sun-drenched Harding Stadium.
The offense scored on its first six touches and the defense was downright stingy as Steve Daley's club blanked Oak Glen 48-0. Central, which was ranked seventh in in the Ohio AP Division VII poll, stands at 5-0 for the first time since 2005.
The Golden Bears remain winless in five starts.

SIX — Steubenville Catholic Central's Johnny DiCarlantonio hauls in a touchdown pass from Brenton Colabella during the second quarter of Saturday afternoon's 48-0 homecoming victory over Oak Glen at Harding Stadium.
Mike Mathison
FROM THE END ZONE — Oak Glen's Colton Speece punts the ball from the end zone during the second quarter of Saturday afternoon's 48-0 loss to Steubenville Catholic Central at Harding Stadium.
With all the activities taking place (Homecoming, the Hall of Fame induction ceremony and the first public showing of a documentary on the school's 1993 championship season), Daley was a little concerned about his players keeping their focus. The Crusaders quickly showed their coach he had no need to worry.
"Our focus was definitely there," Daley said. "We were worried with everything going on that we might lose a little bit of focus. But, the kids came out and did what we asked them to do right from the start."
Ryan Fletcher returned the opening kickoff 31 yards, giving Central a first down at the Oak Glen 49. After just five snaps, Fletcher reached the end zone on a nine-yard run. Brenton Colabella nailed the kick from placement and the Crusaders were off and running.

RECEIVING: Central (Jones 2-12; Fletcher 1-10-1; Potenzini 1-1-1; Barber 1-(-2); Murphy 3-40; Porreca 2-23; DiCarlantonio 3-85-1; S. Potenzini 1-12); Oak Glen (Bebout 1-2; Price 1-27; Cambell 1-9).
FIRST DOWNS: Central 15; Oak Glen 6.
PENALTIES: Central 5-45; Oak Glen 6-44.
PUNTS: Central 4-27; Oak Glen 7-35.
FUMBLES: Central 2-1; Oak Glen 2-2.
Oak Glen's first possession resulted in the loss of four yards. Central started drive two from its own 46 and scored in seven plays.
Luke Potenzini did the honors after grabbing a one-yard pass from Colabella. Chris Murphy sparked the 54-yard drive, running for 23 and grabbing two Colabella aerials for 28 more. Colabella again booted the extra point.
The Golden Bears coughed up the pigskin on their next series, Central's Jake McCann recovering. Colabella lofted a pass to the end zone and Fletcher made a nifty over the shoulder catch for the third touchdown. This time, Stone Romano nailed the conversion.
Louis Fallon recorded a sack on Oak Glen's next touch, forcing the Golden Bears to punt from deep in their own territory. Taking advantage of a short field, Central got another quick score, Colabella going over from a yard away. Romano's kick again was true.
The fifth Central six-pointer came when Colabella founded a wide open Johnny DiCarlantonio running down the middle of the field. The pass and catch covered 65 yards.
Another Fallon sack helped the Crusaders make it 41-0 at the half. Khalil Jones crossed the goal from the 2, a snap after he sprinted 37 yards.
Oak Glen's only serious scoring threat of the initial half was thwarted when Fletcher recorded an interception at the Central 23.
The first half statistics pinpointed Central's dominance.
Daley's squad ran 25 offensive plays for 265 yards (103 rushing and 162 passing) and six touchdowns. Oak Glen, on the other hand, had seven possessions and gained just five total yards on 23 snaps. Five Golden Bear drives ended in punts. Ian Whittington's club also had a fumble and threw an interception.
"I liked our physicality today," Daley noted. "We told the kids we wanted to be physical, get off the ball on offense and get to the ball on defense. We wanted to have a fast start and we did that.
"We minimized our mistakes and things went smooth."
Whittington was quick to praise the Crusaders.
"They're a very fast and physical team," he stated. "They also are a very disciplined team and they played well today."
Sophomore tailback Cedro Parise got the game's final score on a two-yard burst. Oak Glen did mount another scoring threat midway through the fourth quarter. Freshman quarterback Lance Collins and sophomore running back Bradly Hitt both ripped off big gainers, giving the Golden Bears a first down at the Crusader 15.
Central freshman Anthony Leluika threw Collins for a loss on fourth down to preserve the shutout. Leluika added another tackle for a loss before the final whistle blew as did fellow freshman Luke Coniker.
The Crusaders finished with 353 offensive yards (172 rushing and 181 passing). Colabella was a very efficient 12 of 14 for 162. Jones has 45 rushing yards, Murphy 44 and Parise 40.
Oak Glen, meanwhile, was held to just 80 yards
"They have some size up front, but are kids were very disciplined on defense," Daley noted. "They played their gaps well and that's what we asked them to do. Also, they tackled well."
Central will seek its first 6-0 start since 1991 when Conotton Valley invades Harding Stadium Saturday.
Oak Glen will return home to entertain Weir High.
"We had a couple of young guys play well and that was good to see," Whittington noted. "We have our biggest game of the season next week against Weir. We'll focus on that game and take it one week at a time."

Eggless Salad
23 comments:
- Jan Scholl said...
I remember having a dish similar to this about 30 years ago at this little hippie cafe in Flint MI-they supplied food for the art fair when it was small and local then. It was so yummy! some things change so fast-Merlins is gone (the building is all boarded up) the Art Fair is huge and international and you pay to get in now. Flint sucks in general-but eggless egg salad still is yummy.

MMMM, I love egg-less salad. My kids like it too (on whole wheat with no crust!!). I like it on white bread (ashamed) because it reminds me of childhood.
I served egg-less salad to my very omni family as part of Easter Brunch this year, and no one had any clue that it was tofu.....it's really all about what you mix with it.
- June 4, 2008 at 1:34 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
I couldn't agree more. I think the essential ingredients here are the vegenaise (if you like a mayo taste), the dijon mustard, and the dill pickle, which adds a wonderful bakground flavour without making the whole thing taste like a dill pickle. The tofu is the right texture, and so the whole thing ends up tasting remarkably like agg salad (or, how I remember egg salad tasting).

I LOVE eggless egg salad. It's one of the recipes I return to over and over. I don't think I liked egg salad as a kid, it fell into the "yucky" category. Ate tons of it in college though.
- June 5, 2008 at 3:31 PM
- Solitary Dancer said...
I made this over the weekend and I must say it is yummy.
The only thing I did different was to replace the dill pickle with sweet pickles. I'm sure that's because I live in the South. LOL
It was great and I will be making this again and again.

Just wanted to thank you for posting this recipe - my husband and I loved it, and I'll probably be making it at least once a week for our lunches. I haven't had eggy egg salad in a while, but I swear this one tastes yolk-y. Also, I love your blog in general - keep up the good work! :)
- June 21, 2008 at 6:58 PM

yes, it is amazingly egg-like. I am not sure if it is the texture + the vegenaise, or what.
- June 21, 2008 at 8:30 PM
- Stacey said...
Two words: SO GOOD. I made this recipe last night for the first time and was super impressed by its eggy-ness (yes, I just made that into a word), its great flavor and its simplicity! Short ingredient lists that produce something this great are always a plus.
- June 26, 2008 at 2:02 PM
- Holley said...
This is an amazing recipe, thankyou! As others have said, it is very 'eggy', it's the first time i've tried uncooked tofu and it was YUM! :)
- June 27, 2008 at 8:18 AM
- veg.in.the.fog said...
this mixture is so perfect! i tried it for the first time while staying with relatives. when they tried it (without knowing it was egg-free) they loved it, only commenting once that the other flavors overpowered the eggy-ness. really funny. thanks for the post, i didn't think of trying to veganize egg salad! (want to try for fried eggs? ☺)

I am so glad it worked out for you!
A vegan fried egg? That would be an accomplishment.

I made this Sunday for lunch and like you sugested it's MUCH better sitting in the fridge for a while. My 2 year old didn't like the "salad" when I first made it but today for lunch she gobbled it down and asked for more! Thanks!

This is a great recipe! I haven't had a hard time giving up eggs, but egg salad was one of the few ways I enjoyed eating them. This recipe tasted shockingly like real egg salad. I also added 1/4 teaspoon of black salt that I got at an Indian market - it gives it that egg yolk taste. Thanks for another great recipe!

While I was in Brazil, I heard that there is no such thing and it's against the Aikido principles, but I don't remember more than that. In the UK, I heard about some guys that do it. Is there really some fundamental reason that would make championships go against Aikido philosophy ?
It depends how one view "competition". If it is the desire to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women ... Then, yeah, that style of competition is not compatible with Aikido. If it is a desire to learn effective techniques in a safe environment against opponents who vigorously resist so as to perfect your understanding of Aikido ... Then, yeah, they are compatible.
Aikido being the "Way of Harmony" has many political battles and camps. All of them quote O'Sensei as the source for them being right and everybody being wrong -- or charitably mislead. Ueshiba did spend a lot of time changing his own version of Aikido so quotes and insights while interesting should not be treated as canon.
Shodokan Aikido competitions formats are generally misunderstood: embu and randori are different beasts requiring different skills. Aikido Randori by Tetsuro Nariyama and Aikido and Randori: Reconciliation of Two Opposing Forces by Scott Allbright are goods book to pick up if one was interested in learning about competition with Aikido.
Most modern aikidoka reject competition and sparring in any form. The philosophy is delineated well on the Aikiweb forums by Stefan Stenudd:
Tomiki Aikido (aka Shodokan Aikido), founded by Kenji Tomiki, is a notable exception. From the Aikido FAQ:
It should be noted that the extreme restriction of techniques makes this form of competition significantly different from more liberal rule-sets such as judo.
Tomiki Aikido (aka Shodokan Aikido) holds tournaments and championships. There are competitive aspects in many branches of Aikido. There's quite little commonality between mainline aikido and the Tomiki schools. The idea was a "rationalization" of aikido by means of training in kata and competition, which Tomiki Kenji felt made the art more accessible (like judo, by which it was inspired).
Ueshiba Morihei however believed there was no place for competition within aikido. At this point, aikido was heavily influenced by the pacifist teachings of Onisaburo Deguchi, leader of the Omoto-kyou religion.

News from the Farm
What's the latest news from our farm in Brasil, Nossa Senhora Aparecida? Water, water, everywhere!
We are now at 50% irrigation, with our main goal to give the trees water as they need it. The drought of two years ago caused a huge loss in both production and bean size: irrigation can help us avoid another unforeseen bad weather season. We're also able to exercise more control over when watering occurs, to ensure flowerings take hold more effectively. With this much control over our growing cycle, both yield and quality will improve. And there's more water to come!
Other experiments, like our newly released Fully Washed, Yellow Bourbon micro-lot, are living proof of farm manager Edgard Bressani's commitment to continually improving our coffee. Edgard decided to produce a fully washed lot of coffee for the first time in our farm's history, from our Yellow Bourbon trees. We are very excited to offer such a unique coffee: this process is basically unheard of in Brazil. Most Brazilian coffees today are pulped natural or natural processed. Find out more about this coffee in our webshop!
