The 5 Most Baffling Attempts to Smuggle Live Animals
#2. Lizards Inside a Teddy Bear
Let's say you decide to order your significant other a bear-gram to show how much you care. Sure, sending teddy bears by snail mail might be a little soppy, and sure, being an adult who voluntarily gives teddy bears to other adults speaks volumes of you wearing a skin suit made from past dates on your off time, but that's just the kind of guy you are and you're not afraid to show it, goddammit.
Something about this just screams, "I want to see your face from the inside."
But what company to choose? There are so many. Eventually, you settle on an Australian one that seems to be quite a bit more expensive than the others -- because hey, that must mean their teddy bears are really special. So you contact them and place a delivery order to your girlfriend's workplace, to make sure everyone sees what a romantic soul you are.
A few days later, she unexpectedly dumps you by the phone, screaming something incoherent about lizards and calling Customs and Border Protection. And, right on cue, there's a knock at your door.
"Was it the sex dungeon? Because that belongs to my landlord."
This was a very real problem Australian customs officers faced in the first half of 2011. Not the mail delivery bears, that is, but the rare lizards that were stuffed in their hollowed-out chest cavities, Alien style. They found package after package of teddy bears filled to the brim with expensive Australian (and therefore automatically terrible) reptiles, to the point where every single bear package the postal system found offered another potentially traumatizing event in the life of the poor bastard who had to not only eviscerate goddamn teddy bears, but also face the risk of having bobtail lizards chestburst at him immediately afterward.
ABC News
"Well, sure as hell can't tell the daughter about today."
Eventually, an investigation led the officials to a Hong Kong couple and their base of operations in Perth. A raid at their premises discovered a bunch of rare lizards, teddy bears and package material, a combination of items no explanation that wasn't either smuggling or a fairly particular sexual fetish could justify.
But why would anyone want to send people Australian animals, of all things, inside teddy bears? Why, for the love of all that is holy, would anyone ever knowingly order one? Well, it turns out overseas demand for native Australian animals is extremely high. For instance, the bobtail lizard we mentioned could fetch up to $7,500 per animal on the Asian black market.
Man, people are queuing up to buy Australian animals? We feel this proves conclusively that no one is paying attention to our warnings.
ABC News
All the recovered lizards were released back into the wild, save two who were hired as beer mascots.
#1. Various Birds
By this point, you've read most of this article and you already know how this plays out, so we're going to skip our preamble and cut right to the chase: a man strapped an army of hummingbirds to his dick.
"It seemed like the right thing to do."
Holy shit! There's nothing in that picture (of an unnamed Dutch criminal who strapped live hummingbirds to his underpants) that doesn't scream for a medic. The only way this could be a more suicidal scenario is if the guy had actually gone all out and smuggled woodpeckers, which as comedy writers we're actually kind of pissed he didn't try.
We're not exaggerating the hazard factor of the contraption, either: The security officials actually caught the guy (who was apparently an experienced smuggler) at the airport because he was fidgeting and looking extremely uncomfortable. We can only imagine how things would've turned out for him and his balls if he'd actually gotten on the plane.
Although the security officials' expressions speak volumes, here:
Note how only the woman is smiling.
Looking at this picture, you'd expect the word "anus" to show up more often in this entry.
But there are plenty of folks who strap birds to their bodies (he's just the weirdest). Take this 22-year-old Australian man who wrapped two random pigeons in a padded envelope and hid them in his athletic tights. They weren't sedated or anything -- they were just sort of hanging there, presumably cooing and pecking on his legs in protest for the duration of his 13-hour flight from Dubai to Melbourne. The guy also tried to smuggle some seeds and an illegal eggplant. The seeds because "What if the birds get hungry?" the eggplant because "What if I get hungry?" and the everything because "What if I'm full-on crazy? Mayday mayday, underpants trampoline!"
BBC News
Are those pigeons in your pants, or are you just trying to infect endemic species with foreign ticks and parasites?
Incidentally, since Australia is extremely vulnerable to invasive species and therefore takes its biosecurity seriously, the man is facing a maximum prison term of 10 years and a $70,000 fine. For smuggling freaking pigeons, the animals mostly famous for making it impossible to sit on any flat surface in any major metropolitan area since the dawn of time.
And then we have Sonny Dong (tee hee!), who smuggled songbirds by somewhat disappointingly tucking them in little suits and sewing those to his socks.
"Because why shouldn't crime be adorable?"
The prosecutor alleged that the big break in this case were the tail feathers visible beneath Mr. Dong's pant cuffs, as well as the bird crap on his shoes, but we think it was probably the multiple birds attached to his socks.
This wasn't Dong's first rodeo, either -- in 2008, he was forced to abandon a suitcase containing 18 songbirds in a botched smuggling attempt. Upon tracking him, the police discovered a further 51 Asian songbirds -- 69 in all -- from his house, meaning that Mr. Dong must've had both the most apathetic neighbors and the world's most lenient landlord in recorded history.
"Your collection is coming along wonderfully, Sonny! Just keep dumping the dead ones out back by the azaleas."
We'll never know if the guy who strapped birds to his dong got the idea from the guy named Dong who strapped birds to his legs, but we like to think that he did.
Or, actually, we'd rather not think anything about either of these guys, because whenever the thought of one of them enters our minds we're immediately met with a mental picture that sticks with us for days, and we really don't want to think about it again because it's so painful and we just got it out of our heads and --

The 8 Most Horribly Insulting Attempts to Honor the Dead
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, mainly because good intentions don't mean shit if you don't take a few minutes to think things through. So even when you're trying to create a dignified memorial to some historic event, it's important to ask yourself, "Is what I'm about to create actually ridiculous and/or insulting to everyone involved?"
For some cautionary tales of how these things can go wrong, see ...
#8. The Brazilian Carnival Holocaust Float
Via Reuters.com
For those readers unfamiliar with Carnival, it's a weeklong giant party that transforms Rio de Janeiro into a nonstop parade of booze and exposed ass cheeks. Here's a useful primer from former California governor/ Kindergarten Cop thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger:
During Carnival, local dance schools build extravagant themed floats, each equipped with its own dancers, lights, and soundtracks (think the Fourth of July mixed with porn). And the only thing that could ruin Carnival would be a giant pile of emaciated dead bodies mixed with Hitler -- which is exactly how Unidos do Viradouro samba school decorated their float in 2008.
AFP via Ynetnews.com
"I don't understand what the fuss is about. Over half of the bodies are just sculptures."
Keeping with the parade's theme of "shockers," the folks at Viradouro built a float dedicated to the Holocaust, complete with a concentration-camp-style mass grave made of mannequins and der Fuhrer at the helm. After human rights groups protested the wheeled pile of corpses, the float's artistic director made the tough decision to not have nubile dancers shimmying atop a mountain of genocide victims.
And after a lawsuit was filed by the Jewish Federation of Rio, a federal judge issued an injunction banning the float from the parade until the bodies were removed, thereby taking the "outrage" out of "an outrageous spectacle of feathers and asses."
Speaking of baffling attempts to honor Holocaust victims ...
#7. Berlin's Confusing Holocaust Memorial
Sean Gallup/Getty Images News/Getty Images
If it's hard to tell what you're looking at there, well, that's the point. Berlin's Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe cost 25 million euros (approximately $33.5 million) and is an abstract affair that consists of 2,711 concrete slabs laid out over 4.7 acres, and -- save at an information center tucked away underground in the memorial's corner -- indicates nowhere what it's actually memorializing.
Adam Berry/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"Wait, really? I thought it was a tribute to LEGO."
So that's strike one -- it's a lot of money spent to memorialize an event done in a way that doesn't actually bring the event to anyone's memory. But it's even worse than that: Because tourists think it's just a big modern art installation or some unfinished construction project, visitors have been observed jumping on it, sunbathing on it, and sometimes even using it as a public restroom.
Adam Berry/Getty Images News/Getty Images
But the memorial's most notable imbroglio occurred when it was revealed during construction that the company that made the anti-graffiti spray applied to the stone slabs was the same company that made Zyklon B, the poison gas used in Nazi concentration camps. A rival firm tipped the media to this connection, making this one of the few times in recent memory in which it was actually appropriate to invoke Godwin's law.

Amazing how with just the slightest bit of human interaction it can change from abstract to surrealism.
#6. The Monument to a Spanish Conqueror Built on the Graves of the People He Conquered
Via VirtualTourist
The Monument to Sebastian de Belalcazar is exactly what it says it is -- a monument to Spanish conquistador Sebastian de Belalcazar, who conquered Equador in 1553 and then Colombia in 1554. The statue was built in the 1940s in the Colombian state of Cauca, a state Belalcazar once ruled as governor. The statue depicts Belalcazar riding a horse that has just stepped on something, while the stone base of the statue depicts the logos of every gang in Popayan.
It's now more of a memorial to early '90s gangsta rap than anything.
So what's the problem? Two things:
One, like all conquistadors, Sebastian de Belalcazar was a Class A dick. One of his main goals in South America was to acquire all of its gold; particularly, Belalcazar wanted to find the fabled golden city of El Dorado and spend the rest of his days surfing on tidal waves of money. Unfortunately, Belalcazar did not find El Dorado, but instead found native Colombians. This was bad news for the natives, because when Belalcazar showed up in their village wearing his bathing suit and snorkel and did not find oceans of gold, he tended to take it out on them. He killed entire villages in rage (one of them solely inhabited by women and children) and enslaved most of the native men.
But the second problem is where they chose to put the statue honoring him: on top of a native Colombian burial ground/temple.
Via Gastan.sk
*Record scratch*
That hill there is El Morro de Tulcan, built somewhere between 1600 and 1500 B.C., and so far 60 graves have been discovered inside. The local people became aware of the temple in 1929 when construction revealed that the hill was artificial. But the hill was the most prominent point in town, and the townspeople weren't going to be stopped from lopping off the top of it to build a statue to a conquistador just because it would most likely open a portal to the seventh layer of hell.
It's important to note that they weren't aware of the bodies inside the temple until several years after they had built on top of it. It's also important to note that they now have known about the bodies for more than half a century and still haven't moved the statue, despite consistent demands from native Colombians for them to do so. But this doesn't mean that the government doesn't respect them. In fact, they originally planned to build a statue to native Colombians elsewhere in town (not on top of the temple, of course; don't be stupid, where would Belalcazar go?), but they never got around to it.
Via Wikipedia
"In the meantime, just pretend that he's majestically apologizing, using the hill to spread his heartfelt regret."
#5. Mourners Honor a Car Crash Victim by Doing Doughnuts on a Highway
Via Wsbradio.com
When a friend of street racer Cali Floyd was killed in a car accident, Floyd and fellow auto enthusiasts felt compelled to do something special for their deceased compatriot. But instead of building a roadside memorial or holding a vigil, the racers paid their respects by illegally stopping traffic on the interstate and swerving around like goddamn maniacs.
In 2012, Floyd and two dozen other drivers met at a predetermined spot along I-285 south of downtown Atlanta. They gradually slowed traffic to a halt by occupying all of the lanes with their vehicles. The front of the pack then broke off and began spinning doughnuts in the middle of the road as tribute to their dead friend. Yes, this is tantamount to holding an amateur knife-juggling service for someone who has been stabbed to death.
Via Wsbradio.com
While an increasingly hostile audience begins sharpening their own.
This stunt not only backed up highway traffic; it also came dangerously close to necessitating a second impromptu doughnut memorial (see: one guy whipping around near the median with no hands on the wheel). After video of the memorial went viral, Atlanta authorities attempted to identify the drivers, but there's a good chance natural selection will run its course before any arrests are made.

I have an NXT mindstorm brick, running RobotC firmware. I am trying to connect to it, via bluetooth. At first, the problem was that I had the motorola drivers instead of ones from microsoft. Even after uninstalling he motorolla drivers and replacing them with stack microsoft drivers, the NXT cannot be found by the PC. Is there a way to fix this ?
I assume you've tried this, but hopefully it will help someone. Make sure that your computer has been added to the brick's trusted devices and your brick has been added to your computer's trusted devices. I haven't got the link to work with "anonymous" devices before; you need to go through the process of entering the PIN.
Also - check what device you are working with. I know the iPhone doesn't recognize the NXT because it's not an "officially supported" Bluetooth device. The only way to get your iPhone or iPod to work is to "jailbreak" them. I'm not too sure if this extrapolates to all apple products either.
I would agree with the user above. Revert to the original firmware that came on the NXT and try to connect with it. I would add that if you can't connect, I would also try USB or another device. Your computer you are using to try to communicate with might be having issues with Bluetooth.
O yeah, and if it works I would just recommend using a compiler that just sends NXT native direct commands down to the device (C# with Microsoft Robotics Developer Studio for example, or VB.NET). That way you don't have to mess around with the NXT firmware.
For a great comprehensive over-view of the bluetooth (and USB) direct NXT commands, there is a great writeup here: http://www.robotappstore.com/Knowledge-Base/Programming-LEGO-NXT-Mindstorms/92.html I would recommend checking it out as its much better than the one that LEGO provides!
Hope this helps!

We have implemented Scrum quite successfully for the past 5 months. Though, we are 3 weeks away from PROD without ever doing any end-to-end integration test. OUCH! I need help. Without tackling the causes of this (at THIS point), we need now to plan the current iteration, which consists of minor improvements and MANY still unknown bug fixes. How do you account for this scenario? How do you plan your iteration to fix bugs yet to be found?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Scrum or not, bugfixing is basically impossible to predict. The best I believe you can do is:
Than you should make sure next time you start testing early and fix bugs as you go. All sensible methodologies, agile or not, call for fixing known bugs before progressing with new features. Also you should account how much time was spent bugfixing each feature, so you can improve your estimate for implementing feature to debugged state in future.
The estimation and bugfixing are nicely covered by Joel Spolsky in Evidence Based Scheduling and Hard-assed Bug Fixin'. It's not Scrum-related, but I think it's general enough that much of it applies.
Regarding a "bug fixing iteration". Bugs found should be treated no differently from stories. Work with the team to estimate the effort (story points) to fix each bug and work with the product owner/customer to decide if the bug should go into the next iteration.
Regarding "bugs yet to be found". Preferably, the team is finding and fixing issues each iteration. If your not, then discuss this in your next retrospective. If the product quality is so low that release is not possible, then immediately move your best "bug finders" to finding bugs (not fixing). If quality is high enough to provide a beta release to select users - do it. If you can't, then at minimum provide live user demos discussing weak areas you recommend needs improvement.
We don't plan 'bug fix iterations', but we do plan system test iterations before each release. System test is integration, regression and realese tests on all parts of the product. Testers test the product (a fairly large legacy system) and developers fix any bugs that are found. If no bugs are found we either start investigating features schedules for next project or work on internal improvements.
Currently, we plan for six weeks of system tests after code freeze (for a five month project, system test included), to make sure everything works. This is on top of all the testing that is done during the implementation iterations.
You need to define a set of "release" criteria. These could include:
Then at the end of each iteration where you have some people testing (either manually or by writing automated tests) and others fixing check to see if you've met your criteria. If you have then release, if not then go for another iteration.
There should be the possibility of an override on this as well as often the raw numbers don't present a realistic picture of the application. You may have a couple of really serious defects, but they only manifest under rare conditions which you can live with in the short term.
One way to do it is to write stories for your integration testing, during which you write new stories for any bugs you find, then fix the bug stories in the next iteration.
Another way to do it is to just make a story that says "Fix bugs found in integration testing." From previous releases you should have an idea of how many issues are usually found, and how difficult they are to fix, so you can assign story points based on that knowledge. You could maybe split it up into components if that makes it more manageable. There's always unavoidable uncertainty in this. Add some extra story points to account for it.
You've probably realized belatedly that the best way is to incorporate a little integration testing into every iteration if possible. Congratulations on recognizing that and improving your process just a little bit for your next release.

Receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited center ensures that a patient will have access to:
For more information about the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, visit their Web site
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been accredited by the Joint Commission, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting quality healthcare services. This voluntary accreditation signifies that the hospital's efforts to provide highest-quality healthcare have received professional and national recognition through stringent evaluation and consultation from the Joint Commission.
For nearly 15 years, Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been affiliated with the Planetree Alliance, a group of innovative hospitals and healthcare institutions who are dedicated to implementing innovative programs to personalize, humanize and demystify the healthcare experience for patients and their families. Mid-Columbia was the first Alliance affiliate to adopt and embrace, hospital-wide, Planetree's philosophy of patient-centered care. Considered an exemplary model of Planetree, Mid-Columbia is one of the few affiliates to have incorporated all nine components of the Planetree vision into its facility.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center has been recognized for its outstanding commitment to performance excellence and has received the Oregon Quality Award, which is based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. The award is given to industry leaders who have achieved outstanding performance evaluations in leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information and analysis, human resources, process management and organizational outcomes.
Celilo has received the highest-possible rating by the independent organization that surveys and evaluates cancer centers nationwide, The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons. In 2013 Celilo received accreditation "with commendation."
Celilo's overall approval rating indicates that, after a thorough examination of 36 standards of care and reporting, a CoC surveyor found zero deficiencies. Approval with commendation is an even loftier citation that means Celilo staff also eclipsed CoC standards in each of nine additional measurements.
Mid-Columbia Medical Center was named as one of seven Oregon companies to demonstrate outstanding commitment to families and community. The Families in Good Company Award is a reflection of Mid-Columbia's dedication to helping employees manage work and family demands, with such benefits as flexible work schedules, job sharing, telecommuting and compressed work weeks, on-site child care and wellness programs.

'Tricked' by public response to 'Trunk or Treat' event
I extend my deepest thanks and gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that helped to plan and carry out the recent Trunk or Treat event in downtown Torrington. Trunk or Treat brought thousands of families to our beautiful downtown, and I'm pleased this event was such an attraction. We could not have anticipated it would have attracted so many people, but will prepare for the vast crowd size next year.
This event would not have been as successful if not for the hard work and energy of the Torrington Parks & Recreation Department, Lions Club, Municipal and Teachers Federal Credit Union, Councilwoman Elinor Carbone, Mayor's Committee on Youth, Glenn Royals, Ruwet Farm, RW Commerford & Sons, Bunnell Farm, Torrington Police Department, Big Y, Wal-Mart, Stop and Shop East Main, Stop and Shop High Street, Petricone's Pharmacy, Coliseum Trading Post & Jewerly, Jimmy's Store, Brooker Memorial, Torrington downtown Partners, Artwell Gallery, KidsPlay, The Warner Theatre, The Yankee Pedlar, Fazzino Photography, Matica, Patty Adkins, and especially to the many individuals and groups that participated in giving out candy.

I expect this to be a small understanding problem and not a real interesting question.
In Gabriel's thesis you find a proof of the theorem that every small abelian category $C$ admits a faithful exact functor to the category of abelian groups. The proof goes like this: Consider the abelian category $Sex(C,Ab)$, which is the category of left-exact functors $C \to Ab$. By the way, does anybody know why Gabriel has chosen this notation? Why not "Lex" for left-exact or "Gex" for the french "exacte a gauche"? Anyway, it can be shown that $Sex(C,Ab)$ is a (nowadays called) Grothendieck category and has thus enough injective objects. Besides, every injective object is an exact functor $C \to Ab$. If we embed the generator $U=\sum_{X \in C} Hom(X,-)$ into an injective object, we are done.
Now Gabriels claims that $U$ is actually a projective generator. I doubt that this is used in the proof, nevertheless it is interesting. By Yoneda the functor $F \mapsto Hom(U,F)$ is isomorphic to $F \mapsto \prod_{X \in C} F(X)$, thus we have to prove that every epimorphism in $Sex(C,Ab)$ is actually pointwise an epimorphism of abelian groups. This is not clear to me since a cokernel in $Sex(C,Ab)$ is defined by the universal left-exact functor associated to the pointwise-defined cokernel (cf. Prop. 5 in II.2). The vanishing does not seem to imply the vanishing of the pointwise-defined cokernel (cf. Lemme 3 b).
Note that Grothendieck has supervised this thesis. Although there are many many typos, I don't think that such a statement will just be wrong. What am I missing?

Can I use Facebook for my class?
NAU doesn't have a policy against using Facebook for classes, but it's a good idea to examine your teaching and learning goals before you decide to use Facebook, Google+, Twitter, or other social networking sites. Other tools might be better suited for your purposes. Contact one of our instructional designers for assistance in deciding how to select an appropriate tool.
Two potential problems with using Facebook are FERPA restrictions and Facebook's terms of service. Be sure you understand the implications of both before you set up a Facebook group or page for your class. Because Facebook groups can be private, they are often a better choice for classes.
You must also follow NAU's business rules about records retention—that is, how long student work must be kept available in the event of incompletes and grade appeals (.doc). Any class work you conduct through Facebook is subject to those same requirements, but you personally are responsible for maintaining backups of your Facebook content for the required length of time, because Facebook isn't a university-supported tool.
For more information about Facebook in general, see Facebook Basics.

How many deaths will U.S. society tolerate?
The gun-control discussion faces disintegration in a flood of "relevant facts" that beg the question: "Given access to guns, how many deaths are we willing to tolerate?"
The first half of 2012 saw 16,290 deaths from auto accidents. Rather than eliminating deaths from automobiles, we tolerate a number of deaths for the social and financial benefits cars provide. And there are regulations for auto safety, some required, some prudent.

1962 Pro Street Ford Falcon - Readers' PagesWritten on May 1, 2010
Omaha Orange
Who: Chuck Luton
What: '62 Pro Street Ford Falcon
Where: Mesa, AZ
Why: Chuck labored for seven years to get this Falcon tubbed and plumbed with a stroked 351 Windsor. Those are 18.5-inch Hoosiers in the rear.
Pro Sweet
Who: Dave Vollmer
What: '62 Chevrolet Nova
Where: Grand Haven, MI
Why: We love Pro Street no-hood street machines. This dude raced Camaros and bikes until he decided to settle down with a docile street car. The 4.88s should be nice on the freeway.
Gonna Fix 'Er Up Soon
Who: David Curtin
What: Not for sale: Near-mint '69 Chevrolet Camaro, some rust.
Where: David doesn't actually own this dead Camaro; he just realized what it was after someone cut the lawn.
Why: In 2030, someone will consider restoring this car.
Don't Wreck It
Who: Jojo (dad) and Wyatt (son) Azarcon
What: '80 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
Where: Broomfield, CO
Why: Jojo is reliving his high school memories by passing on his high school car to his son. Goodies include an Edelbrock carb and intake, a rebuilt 350, a Comp cam, a 3:43 posi, a B&M shifter, and a rebuilt tranny with a street shift kit. The rest of the car is original, including the paint.
Olds Street/Strip Blaster
Who: Bill Sullivan
What: '72 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Where: Oak Grove, MN
Why: Bill has owned this Cutlass since 1986. The car is from Arizona and still wears most of its factory-applied lacquer paint. Under the Outside Air Induction hood is a 9.3:1 compression, Edelbrock-headed 455 making 498 hp and 536 lb-ft. Backing that is a TH400 trans with a manual valvebody and a 10-inch converter. A few years ago, he broke an axle in the factory 12-bolt, so he bought a Moser 12-bolt with 33-spline axles and 4.10 gears to fix it permanently.
I Like The Girls
Keep in mind that it is always easier to write a negative letter than a positive one. Don't let the vocal, whiny minority lead you to believe that the Nov. '09 issue was anything short of awesome. Bikinis with Mopars, Pro Street station wagons and Van Nuys Boulevard . . . life is good.
-Brandon Flannery, local
Thanks, Brandon, so far it's been 90 percent positive.
My Wife Hates The Girls
The return of the swimsuit issue was great. Cars and pretty girls go together like baseball and apple pie. I just hope you guys don't run for the tall grass once the first wave of angry housewife letters rolls in.
-Jim Rizzi, New Jersey
1987, Stupid!
Please let Mr. Glad know that the louvered taillights on Mustang GTs didn't start until 1987. It appears his memory is fading just like mine. Also if Vanilla Ice makes a comeback now, I will be blaming him and will have to unsubscribe to Car Craft (not really, but it sounded good). Thanks for the hard work on putting together a great magazine every month.
-Al Haas, Harker Heights, TX
Yeah, Glad bit it on the taillight thing. You should have read the email he got from Mark Houlahan at Modified Mustangs.
Stop! Or Don't, Whatever
I was not impressed. LS motor? Cool! Add a blower. Very cool! Leave the single-cylinder, manual brakes? Total fail!
-Sam Sahli, Cranberry, PA
We are getting a lot of grief about the stock single-pot master cylinder on the '64 El Camino ("Install a Vortech VTS," Jan. '10). Is it because the car makes 600 hp? Could that be it? It stops eventually.

In the last few issues, we said the '86 Mustang GT had louvered taillights. Then we wrote that the Valiant was built by Dodge instead of Plymouth and that the Nova in the This Guy's Garage was both a '65 and a '66. We blew it.

I just upgraded to OS X Lion and now cannot initialize Git where it used to work fine:
$ git add .
-bash: git: command not found
I'm new to Git and to programming, so I'm sure it's a quick fix, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
migrated from stackoverflow.com Jul 24 '11 at 10:11
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
If /usr/local/git already exists, you'll need to either add it to your $PATH or make a symlink placing the symlink inside a directory that is in your existing PATH.
A common practice is to make
Lion (and Snow Leopard) didn't ship with
All of your repos stored in user space are fine. Do try to get the same or newer version of git.
The command line
Xcode 4(4.0-4.2) drops git into
To avoid issues with different versions, you might want to make sure any old versions are gone from your hard drive. (and certainly from your $PATH)
If you have XCode installed, the best solution is Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Install Command Line Tools.
This put git (among other things) at /usr/bin/git.
If you don't have Xcode installed, then installing it just for git would definitely be overkill.
I think you will find that Git is still installed on your system. It looks like the PATH is just messed up. Check to see if /usr/local/git still exists on your system.
I just added the following to my ~/.bashrc file and everything is back to normal.
To be more specific, this site - http://www.joshstaiger.org/archives/2005/07/bash_profile_vs.html - details the difference between .bashrc and .bash_profile. If you use Mac's terminal with Git, then adding the above PATH specification to your .bash_profile will do the job. Of course, you'll have to close the Terminal window and open a new one because the .bash_profile file is loaded on a Terminal window's opening.
In summary, adding this to .bash_profile would work too.
Step 1: Reinstall git (I just installed the Snow Leopard version from here) if it's not in:
Step 2: Open Terminal and do the following:
Then in nano at the top of the file write (as aaron suggested)
Press Ctrl+X to quit nano and press Y to save. Then exit terminal and reopen and git should be working for you.
Possibly, you had installed
I think it will take some time to have a release of either for Lion... or possibly you should try and reinstall it...
Indeed, it seems that you need to install MacPorts from trunk to get Lion compatibility...
Fink has also got some hints about upgrading to Lion.
From StackOverflow:
then run source
Link to the post there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6810059/git-on-mac-os-x-lion/6810082#6810082
If you are using brew, just run this command from the terminal.
This happened because git stop being part of the $PATH (for some migration reason).
There is a very simple way of fixing this in OS X:
In OS X, you can add variables to
so, you can put back git doing the following:
Just download the newest version from here: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/
Install it, open up a new terminal, and it works like before :D
Same issue here, downloaded and installed the snow leopard version from google code and off I went. Needed to quit and re-open terminal though...
All is well again..
When there is git path already,
just add directory to your PATH variable.
I used the App Store to install Xcode and it just gives you an all in one app blob. However it DOES have other apps and installers in it. I just needed git so the path from that is
Its a bit of a hack, but I don't use Xcode for a lot of stuff. Add to your bash config as other posters described and your good to go
I fixed it by downloading and reinstalling git from here.
You don't need to modify the path or install the Xcode command-line tools. Just use the "xcrun" utility from the Terminal: http://www.cocoanetics.com/2012/07/you-dont-need-the-xcode-command-line-tools/
I solved it by following advice on this site:
It was just a pathing issue. To be honest, I expected a whole lot more issues. The upgrades are getting smoother. I remember when I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, just about everything "open source" broke..

Installer's Toolbox #3: Bojo Panel Tools
Professional-quality tools for your DIY projects
Jon Paulette is a veteran automotive writer who has spent a fair portion of his life hanging out at racetracks and talking to amazing people who make extremely loud cars reach ridiculous speeds. Despite all that, he still has enough hearing left to enjoy a stupidly large music collection. A native Virginian, Jon lives in the Charlottesville area, roots for the Nationals and would like a good BBQ sandwich right about now.
More from Jon Paulette
Just because you're a higher primate with the ability to use tools doesn't necessarily mean you're going to choose the right tool to use.
I learned this lesson the hard way one afternoon, when I ignored a decent selection of screwdrivers and attempted to pry a screw cover off of an old wooden chair using a vintage pocketknife with a non-locking blade. I'll spare you the details, but let's just say the whole thing went about as well as you'd think.
A few months later, I found myself settling in here at Crutchfield, where almost all newbies, regardless of job title, learn how to install car stereos as part of the standard training program. Thankfully, before I could grab a screwdriver and destroy a dashboard or put an eye out or both, one of our installation experts handed me a Bojo Trim Panel Tool. Good move. Good tool, too.
To an experienced installer, popping off a dash or door panel is about as stressful as opening a can of corned beef. To an experienced writer, it's more like performing the Heimlich maneuver on the Chihuahua that your girlfriend is watching while her boss is on vacation. Pressure? Yeah, kinda, some….
Thankfully, the Bojo tool was good enough at what it did to make me look like I knew what I was doing. Next thing you know, the same nimrod who couldn't fix a chair without injuring himself (and the chair, a little) was taking apart a Honda Civic like an old pro.
That's probably because this set of tools was actually assembled by an old pro. Crutchfield stocks several different types of quality pry tools, but this set includes everything you need to remove doors, carpeting, panels, and trim.
The 6-piece Bojo Panel Tool kit includes:
- wide sharp scraper
- general thin-tip pry tool
- thin and wide flat pry tool
- 90-degree sharp pry tool
- forked and angled wide pry tool
- forked flat pry tool
There's nothing complicated about these tools, which is one reason I like 'em. They're surprisingly easy to handle, which is great any time, but especially when you're sideways, upside-down and trying to pop a panel that's two inches from your cheekbone. Each tool has a specialized tip, so no matter what you're trying to pry off, there's a tool that'll do it. Best of all, the strong, lightweight core is surrounded by a nylon surface that protects the car from excessive enthusiasm or insufficient skill. And when you buy a new car stereo from us, we'll offer you a deep discount on these handy tools.
I can't say that I'm ready to take a side job installing car stereos, but I can say this: If Bojo Trim Panel Tools can get me through a month of installations without gouging a door or splitting a dashboard in half, they'll make you look like a DIY genius.

Scott County issues water advisory
The Scott County Health Department and the Virginia Department of Health have issued a water advisory for parts of Scott County.
Customers of the Scott County PSA Duffield Waterworks who live east of US 23 and north of VA 65 are encouraged to boil tap water or use bottled water until further notice.
The water advisory said a water pipe break has allowed tanks in the area to go empty or nearly empty. Customers who have no water or low pressure should boil any water used for drinking, food and beverage preparation or ice making.
Customers are advised to bring water to a rolling boil and let it boil for one minute. The Scott County Health Department said the boiling process kills potentially dangerous bacteria or organisms.
The Health Department said the broken pipe has been replaced, and water storage tanks are being refilled.
Scott County anticipates lifting the boil water advisory within a few days.
Scott County schools were dismissed at 1:30 Thursday afternoon due to the water issue.

I'm just wondering what XNA is missing to be considered as a game engine? It does all the things a game engine should do (except the physics part); it also has support for every aspect defined on wikipedia's article on game engines.
It is designed as a framework - in fact, XNA is the Microsoft XNA Framework - so technically it's not an engine by name.
There is no 'engine' - if you notice, you derive your main class from XNA.Framework.Game and have to override the draw and update functions yourself. There is no central rendering system, or input system, or audio system ready out of the box. There is SpriteBatch and the vertex classes, there is KeyboardState, and there are some audio classes..but they are only abstractions over the low level drawing code.
EDIT: For the sake of usefulness, why does something matter if it's labelled as an engine, framework, library, or toolset?
To clear things up somewhat: I am developing an engine in XNA. Obviously I can't do that in something like Unreal, like Jonathan has mentioned. However, there are a few things I feel are important that XNA just doesn't have:
Plug-n-play: I want to be able to make some kind of template - have this HP, this mesh, this animation and BOOM! I have an NPC in my game.
Hidden low level - XNA does this already, but I don't want to fiddle around with GameServiceProviders. I just want to shove stuff together.
Game separated from engine - There may be a 'game' class, but I want to separate my logic and my code from the base system. I don't want
A framework provides a minimal architecture built for a specific type of application. It minimises assumptions about implementation details beyond the stated goals of the architecture. While a cross-platform game development framework might have the goal of providing "what is common to (nearly) all computer games, irrespective of platform", and might implement only such abstract factors as timing and entity management, the XNA Framework (implicitly) has a goal of providing "what is common to (nearly) all computer games written for execution on the XNA CLR". Given that this focus is so narrow, they have been able to included engine features with impunity. They bundle it all under the heading of "Framework", since this indicates a certain freedom of implementation which you as the game developer will enjoy.
Roughly speaking, a framework should be as unrestrictive as possible while still providing useful foundations. An engine, on the other hand, is typically more focused toward specific features, and in using it, you accept that there are certain limitations which you will be tied to.
I've never used a 'game engine' but my understanding of this is more as a pre-defined set of tools bundled with a pre-defined skeletal game-structure for the development of a specific type of game. And surely that structure for the development of a specific type of game is the main defining factor in a games engine, it certainly seem to be what the aforementioned Wikipedia article is alluring to. To me the XNA framework is more akin to a third-party library set, like AJAX, in that it adds pre-built routines to the existing bare-boned programing language. It does not put any restrictions or guidelines on what you, as the programmer, can and cannot do with these library routines. In my mind that is not akin to an engine in any way. Then I come from a business software/web centric background, so maybe the view if this is slightly askew for a dyed-in-the-wool games dev.
I've built the framework for a game idea using XNA and it definitely feels like I'm using just another library over C#. I'm going to use the processes I've hacked out in the test program to produce two or three games for windows and possibly Xbox.
So, as I said, In my mind this is far away from what I understood to be a 'Games Engine' so when I came across this post I had no idea why someone would make that comparison. Am I wrong?

It is not about football or the community as a whole. It is about a crime of abuse; RAPE of a young girl, furnishing booze to minors; and failing to report what was known.

The problem is the people like you (the die hard Big Red fans) will never accept if he was involved or not. Before going and calling anyone an "ignorant piece of crap" how about analyzing what you are saying. You are living in a dream world bro. This is not about football, it is about a horrible crime that took place and a cover-up to protect those involved because of their social status or athletic ability. Repeat, this is not about football.

If any of our coaches were involved, they need to be fired, absolutely,, but i don't like people making accusations like that ignorant piece of crap TomSays, let the grand jury do its job, i also want to find out where the booze came from, I will support coach Saccocia until there is evidence that he was involved, i'm not going to prosecute someone on accusations.

Fresh Cape farm produce
Christine Marot
Although KwaZulu-Natal-based, Christine Marot never passes up an opportunity to head south and sample the many delights of the Mother City.
Despite having visited many of the world's continents, she believes there's no place like home, and enjoys promoting Cape Town's mix of cultural, historical, natural and adventure tourism opportunities.
She believes current tourism trends reflect a greater reliance on bloggers' first-hand experiences, which more often than not contain nuggets of useful information.
With a love of the outdoors, Christine is happiest visiting the penguins at Boulders Beach, catching waves at Kommetjie, hiking up Table Mountain or sipping a chardonnay under massive oak trees in the winelands.
Cape Town markets are well known for their fresh produce. Photo courtesy mallix
Why not turn weekend drudgery into an al fresco breakfast and family outing, surrounded by the beauty of the Cape outdoors?
Take a break from schlepping around the crowded shopping centres in favour of a visit to some of the Western Cape's popular outdoor produce markets.
The Porter Estate produce market in Constantia Valley offers visitors a farm-style breakfast and special activities tailor-made for kids.
If you're keen on fresh, healthy, organically grown produce of outstanding quality, you'll find it at the Willowbridge slow market in Tyger Valley.
In the Durbanville Hills region of Cape Town, the Degustazione farmers' market is the ideal place to catch up with friends, while shopping for gourmet eats.
Take along your wicker basket to load up on Cape Town fresh farm produce.

I'm working from a Mac OSx Lion that is running XAMPP on localhost. I've been trying to find a way to run MySQL through the terminal. Normally I would do
mysql -u [username] -p but the command is not recognized.
Am I doomed to use PHPMyAdmin for local development?
I couldn't find anything related to this on the web, hopefully someone can give me a hand.

I've read that squats and deadlifts promote overall muscle growth in the body. Does this mean that if I want to increase growth faster in, say, my arms, I should exercise my arms on the same day as I do one of these heavy compound lifts?

Some thought/comments/recommendations:
An Example: 1. Chest - Shoulders
Great bi busters - 21's - get a medium/light weight barbell and do standing curls - 7 reps that go from bottom to halfway point then without rest or putting dumbbell down do 7 reps from top to the halfway down point then without rest or putting dumbbell down do 7 full range reps! I usually do 3-5 sets of these and call it a day!
Another fav is get three sets of dumbbells 10-15-20 and do super sets - 1x10 w/10lb then without rest 1x10 w/15lb - then without rest 1x10 w/20lb - I usually do 3-5 sets of these and call it a day!
On last recommendation for overall arm size...DIPS, DIPS and more DIPS!
I like the tree analogy. Spot on. There is no right or wrong answer. Everyone has their own way. Some work better then others. I train arms with legs. Sort of an upper lower. I also do a push pull routine. Change my routine every two months. I go heavy on compound movements then meduim to light on isolation movements such as arm work etc. just work hard not too long and use good form and things will be fine. Some parts can be stubborn for growth. Experiment with reason
Squats and deadlifts definitely promote growth. But that is not the whole story.
I use the tree analogy. You don't see a tree with a tiny trunk and big thick branches. If you want the thick branches you have to have a thicker trunk.
So yes doing squats and deadlifts will promote complete body strength but that isn't the whole story.
Thing #1 - So you are starting out and want to get big quick. Yes go heavy on squats and deadlifts. But you have to do some arms. First you need a little triceps to help bench. Second the arm workouts help forearm and hand strength which help deadlifting and other lifts. Then the biggest thing is so where are you at after 6-12 months of deadlifting and squatting when you have got a little bigger and you haven't touched your arms? Well you are starting your arm workout and your arms will basically be shocked for a while. Why not work them out (even marginally) so that your body can adjust easier to new routines?
Thing #2 - You might be at a point where you are not going to have huge gains in deadlifts and squats. Of course working out your arms hard will make them stronger and bigger. I don't think we need to debate that working out a body part makes it stronger/bigger.
Thing #3 - If you want size you need intensity for the reps or weight. You can't do everything with intensity. You get about 30 mins if you are lucky with high intensity. So you if you want great arms you need to do them on their own.
There is no reason not to do them on the same day. The key is to not overdo the load. In short no more than 5 sets of 5 reps on squats and 1 set of 5 reps on the deadlift. BTW, deadlift is probably the best exercise to improve your grip.
My background is strength training, so my answer may not exactly be what you are looking for. Essentially for strength gains squats and deadlifts are excellent exercises. My program alternates two full body workouts with a day of rest in between. Squats are done every session. The upper body swaps between bench press and overhead press. The other exercise swaps between barbell rows and deadlifts (both get the back muscles).
Incorporating squats and deadlifts into a split routine is very tricky precisely because they hit so many areas on your body.
You have to factor in recovery time, which really depends on how much volume you are doing, and your ability to recover. A beginner recovers pretty quickly, but that is because they can't get the same volume as a very strong intermediate lifter (someone who can squat 1.5x body weight to full parallel).
Lastly, you have to make sure you do these lifts correctly or you will get injured. If you do half squats or anything less than the full range of motion (ROM) you are setting yourself up for injury at a later point. If you don't perform the steps of the deadlift correctly you can injure your back. Yet, they are very powerful lifts. Even if it's not your goal, you won't be able to help getting stronger doing these lifts.
Your program can work as long as you have a full day of rest between each workout. Other than your forearms, neither lift works the arms appreciably.
NOTE: regarding the question of them stimulating arm growth, I don't think that they do. Your muscles respond to stress that you put on them, and neither lift stresses the arms that much.
