New attachment helps reduce dust created during breaking and chipping applications
La Mirada, CA Makita has expanded its line-up of dust extraction solutions for concrete contractors with a new Dust Extraction Attachment, model 196571-4, for use with demolition hammers and rotary hammers (accepts SDS-MAX).
Makita Dust Extraction Attachment Kit, model 196571-4
The new Dust Extraction Attachment is engineered to help reduce dust created from breaking and chipping concrete.
"Contractors are demanding more dust extraction solutions and less concrete dust during tool usage," said Brandon Stover, Makita Product Manager, Accessories. "With this new attachment for chipping and breaking applications, Makita has delivered another solution that helps reduce dust, without compromising tool performance."
6-Piece Kit for Increased CompatibilityThe new Dust Extraction Attachment is a 6-piece kit for use with a jobsite vacuum (sold separately), and is compatible with Makita SDS-MAX Rotary Hammers and Demolition Hammers. After attaching the dust cover and hose assembly to the shaft of the bit, the user can attach the hose to the hammer using one of two hose holders which are designed to fit the hammer's handle.
Additionally, a third hose holder allows the user to attach the hose to the power cord. This versatility allows the user to direct the hose to the jobsite vacuum in the most efficient manner, and keep it out of the way during use. The kit also includes an additional hose joint for increased compatibility. The attachment is engineered for use with bull point or chisel bits commonly used in concrete demolition applications.
The Dust Extraction Attachment is a kit and includes a dust cover, hose (62-1/2"L), hose holder for power cord, hose holder for "D" side handle, hose holder for straight side handle, and hose joint (1-7/8"ID, 2" OD).

In terms of recent news that generated outrage, few stories in the past month can compete with the Facebook "Mood Manipulation" Experiment. If the story escaped your notice, here's the basics: A study conducted by Facebook's data team filtered 689,003 users' News Feeds for positive or negative keywords. The test was to see what impact this had on the users' subsequent posts. Needless to say, users with only positive Feeds were more likely to say something positive. Negative Feeds led to more negative posts.

While reading up the characteristics of a byronic hero for my research, I discovered the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byronic_hero
However, some elements on this list seem to be contradicting each other;
For example: How does cynicism contribute to a power of seduction? Were Don Juan or Casanova cynics? Or maybe my understanding of cynicism is not correct. When I hear the word cynicism...I think of the characters of the standard American sitcom.
While reading up the characteristics of a byronic hero for my research, I discovered the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byronic_hero
Short answer: cynicism is a version of "playing hard-to-get," which some people find attractive. You seduce by allowing yourself to be chased.
Long answer: Someone who's cynical can be an attractive target for a naïve person who wants to "save" or "fix" the Byronist. "I know Charlie is so world-weary, but if he fell in love with me, I just know I could soften his heart and soothe his hurts! I could take away his pain and make him happy!"
Meanwhile, the Byronist is cynical after heartbreak, or betrayal, or anything else which sours one on optimism. The naïf's point of view may be exactly what the Byronist used to think pre-heartbreak, and s/he is sneering at what s/he used to be. The naïf chases the Byronist, they sleep together, and the Byronist either really doesn't care about the naïf or feels disgusted at him/herself for using the naïf the way s/he was used, and the naïf gets dumped.
And after like the third or four naïf tries this, the Byronist, not pursuing emotional intimacy, might think this was a pretty decent tactic to get some action, and cultivate it deliberately.

Two women employed at a Laurel County dentist's office have been charged with illegally obtaining prescription pain pills.
Laurel County Sheriff John Root says in a statement that 35-year-old Katrina Dixon and 25-year-old Ashley Coffey, both of London, were arrested Monday. Root said both women worked for a local dentist and were calling in forged prescriptions for hydrocodone for dental patients without their knowledge. Root said the women then obtained the pain pills for themselves.
Both women were lodged in the Laurel County jail, where online records did not indicate whether they have attorneys.

SCOPE West to focus on change and complexity
August 30, 2010 - LM Editorial
The line is between 3PLs and non-asset based supply chain consulting firms, is blurring said Jim Barnes, CEO of enVista.
In an exclusive interview given to LM before this week's "Supply Chain Operations Private Exposition" (SCOPE) West in Las Vegas, Barnes outlined what he sees as some of the key issues surfacing next year.
"Our customers are telling us that solutions must be customized to accommodate the complexity of new distribution patterns," he said. "Our recent work with Nature's Best demonstrated that point pretty well."
In that particular case, the client operated a "Home Grown" (IBM Mid-range AS/400) warehousing system across all distribution centers. However, the system took on two different forms: a third of the centers operated with a Reserve Inventory System combined with a Voice Selection System, and the remaining centers operated on a system where selection was done via labels, and inventory labels were limited to Primary Pick Slots. The client needed to determine if a Best- of-Breed Warehouse Management System (WMS) and/or Labor Management Systems (LMS) offered adequate base functionality to achieve a rapid and significant return on investment.
In his SCOPE presentation, "The Best Case: How Distributors Transform Their Supply Chain and Achieve Excellence," Barnes will reference similar examples of value-added consulting services.
"SCOPE is an excellent forum for new ideas and concepts to be tested," he said. "It provides a real opportunity for us to network and stay focused on this ever-changing business."

Which site/sites do you guys use to view details of security vulnerabilities?
closed as too broad by Iszi, TildalWave, Xander, Gilles, Rory Alsop♦ Sep 15 '14 at 7:26
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I tend to start with http://secunia.com for vulns per-product or vendor, pick the CVE references up from there and then view the details on http://www.cvedetails.com
I'm guessing since you asked this question you find it frequently mind-numbing to locate good vulnerability descriptions. I hate it when I get stuck chasing down the details of a single vuln when there are 100s or 1000s of additional vulns in play.
My favorite sources are the vendors that run decent advisory sites, like:
If the vuln is one I discovered from probing a web app then I like to borrow OWASP's vulnerability descriptions – in fact, OWASP's Top 10 for 2010 PDF is especially nice for referencing or copying for reports because it's pretty:
If it is anything to do with an SSL Server then SSL Labs is great: https://www.ssllabs.com/
And of course most of the premium commercial vulnerability scanners offer good caches of vulnerability descriptions (e.g. http://www.rapid7.com/vulndb/index.jsp or Qualys (need an account))
Beyond that, sometimes pushing the effort to gather the vulnerability details for a particular vulnerability to the vendor is effective if you have a support contract.
I use primarly
Also it ususally pays off to visit the vendor homepage if your are looking for any trouble your apps could make. They usually post advisories where they show you what are the most critical issues.
I prefer to use the vendor sites for most information. Since I am often more interested in whether or not a patch or workaround exists, I find them to be most useful.
When the vendor site is not entirely useful, i.e. there is no patch/workaround and we still need to determine what level of compensating controls are necessary, I tend to use the following (in order)
Some other sources which always offer either workable exploits, or in-depth technical articles on lots of good stuff:
Also, see this post on securitytube:
Being in Application Security, the website I use most frequently is Fortify Software
This site not only gives an explanation for what the vulnerability category is and how it can be used maliciously, it will frequently give code examples of good and bad practices for a given vulnerability in your language of choice.
This site is more directly related to source code, however even for basic web vulnerability explanations it definitely does the trick, and has helped me immensely when trying to convey to a client what exactly the vulnerability is, and at the same time provide examples to the developers for correction.
I found this site SecurityFocus to have good database of articles. All though sometimes you need to know what you looking for before you can find something solid.
For example, if you looking for vulnerabilities on Adobe Reader there are 0; if you pull up Adobe Acrobat, there are dozens that say Adobe Reader.

I have a Ball class which I want to have extend JComponent and implement mouseListener.
public class Ball extends JComponent implements MouseListener {
Int x, y, radius;
public Ball(int X, int Y, int Radius){
//contains only three ints and redefines x,y,radius
public void draw(Graphics g){
//draw oval using x,y,radius
//5 mouselisteners undefined yet
So ball is the constructor which is used by a panel which is within a frame.
Sorry I have not yet entered all the code. I will submit my complete code soon.
So what I would have to do is use MouseEntered listener in the ball class so that when the mouse enters the component (the ball/oval) . But I don't know how to define the component so that it knows it has been entered. Does it need some dimensions? Because all I am doing is using the draw function in a panel.

I check the temperature of my Hamilton Beach roaster oven with a thermometer And there was a difference of 45 degrees. I borrowed a roaster oven of a different brand it had a difference of 40 degrees. I set the dials to 225 degrees on both of them, added 2 and a half inches of water and measured the temperature with 2 different thermometers. Both thermometers read 175 in one oven and 170 in the other. I checked the temperature after 2 and half hours and immediately upon removing the lids. I did notice variance when the element would go on and off, the temperatures mentioned above are a rough estimate of the average temperatures. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong? Thank you.
Taking a random stab here—and yes, this is a simplification of the physics involved—
If you measured the water temperature, this is expected, assuming you're talking about °F. Water will not get above boiling (212°F, at sea level) no matter how much heat you apply, unless you're using a pressure cooker. Every bit of heat you add once you get it to boiling just goes to boiling it off faster.
Now, as to why it isn't at 212°F, that's more complicated. The water is actually evaporating even below boiling; and this takes energy. (You've no doubt noticed a pot starts to steam before it boils, and that a lid on top will fog up too.) Energy is conserved, so that energy comes from somewhere—it turns out to lower the temperature of the water. How much water is evaporating depends on the humidity in the oven, which depends on the temperature of the air in the oven, how well-sealed it is,—i.e., is complicated. But at lower oven temperatures, it turns out that uncovered water will often be a fair bit below boiling.
The second possibility is that you are indeed measuring the air temperature, and you're seeing this, and there are a few things that could cause this:

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
Nancy Smith learned how to drive the Durango High School girls basketball program over the final half of last season.
Now, in her first full season as head coach, she�ll continue to pilot the Demons � figuratively and literally.
Smith will drive the minibus to Pueblo this weekend when the Demons open play at the Lady Hornet Holiday Tournament, then she�ll look to begin the process of figuratively steering them through the 2012-2013 season.
Last year, Smith took over a team in flux after the December resignation of Klint Chandler seven games into the season. As such, she had to work around the schemes already installed while working to get on the same page as her players as quickly as possible.
Now the slate is clean, and roles, schemes, playing time � everything is Smith�s to build from scratch.
Smith, a former collegiate player at Wake Forest University, signed on full-time in the offseason after working out the family particulars with husband Tam Smith and their children. And she couldn�t be more excited about the challenge of reshaping a squad that went 5-16 a season ago.
�This was thrown in my lap (last season), and I�m grateful � very, very grateful � for it,� Smith said.
The process began in the summer at open gyms, where Smith was impressed by the turnout that she said numbered between 15 and 25 throughout the offseason. It illustrated the kind of dedication she�s looking for out of a team that has some improving to do to make a run at a postseason spot for the first time since 2010.
To make those improvements, DHS will lean on a core group of returning players. The Demons lost three key frontcourt players in Jerrica Crosby, Taylor Perry and Abby Surmeier and starting point guard Raquel Delgado to graduation. The continued improvement of junior forward Emily McCue � who�s seen action at the varsity level the last two years as a freshman and sophomore � and senior post Shanelle Bogus will be key for a DHS squad not blessed with an abundance of size.
Senior guards Molly Barnes and Alyssa Montoya will be counted on to make leaps in their games as well, and Durango likely will have a long list of players make contributions this year with Smith hoping to speed things up on both ends of the floor.
�We�ve got a smaller varsity this year, intentionally,� Smith said. �Every single one of them I think is going to step up and step in. ... We�re looking to have a fast-paced kind of program, looking to push the ball up the floor.�
From the sound of it, things are going well so far for the Demons in preseason practices. Now comes the tricky step of turning those lessons into quality game performances.
�All I have to go on is what we have now, and I hope as long as I�m coach, regardless of exactly how much talent we have, we�ll have girls who are willing to do anything (to win),� Smith said.

Keep the chain were it belongs.
While modern drivetrains have made respectable efforts to prevent dropped chains, it can -- and will -- still happen. And if it happens on a new carbon frame, you're going to have a bad time. For added insurance against a gouges and scratches, install the K-Edge PRO Braze-On Chain Catcher.
Not only is the K-Edge a frame safeguard, it also ensures you don't miss a big ring to inner ring shift when you need it the most -- right before a harrowing climb. Its lightweight aluminum construction simply attaches to frames with braze-on front derailleurs mounts with the included hardware.
Made from CNC-machined 6061 T6 aluminum in Boise, ID., it weighs 10g and is available in six colors -- Black, Blue, Gunmetal, Gold, Red, and White. It comes with 2 mounting bolts -- 20mm for Shimano or Campagnolo (except Campy EPS), and a 25mm for SRAM.

May not fit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The explanation from Competitive Cyclist reads:
- "20mm for Shimano or Campagnolo (except Campy EPS) and a 25mm for SRAM"; and,
- the Compatibility section says: "braze-on".
Unfortunately not good and clear enough for me as the pice does not fit my Campagnolo SR 2014 as shown in the attached pictures.
Tried contacting K-Edge directly but got no response.
Hope this review its helpful.
frame saver
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been using a K-Edge chain catcher for years. This has saved my frame from damage countless times by stopping the chain from jamming into the frame, after a bad shift.
It doesn't work
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have this on my bike, and suffered multiple chain derailments with the chain wedged between the crank and my now scratched frame. This thing doesn't prevent jack. It might have prevented one or two incidences? I don't know, but I do know this catastrophe still occurred.
Excellent design
It really keeps the chain in position.

5 Everyday Pieces of Clothing With Shocking Health Risks
Zippered pants are considered formalwear down at the Cracked offices, so we're probably the last place to be giving you fashion advice. We don't know jack about stuff like "style" or "coordination" or "covering our genitals completely," so we'll leave that to the professionals -- all we know is that you should probably avoid wearing the following common clothing items that are physically damaging, or in some cases even trying to outright kill you. Unless they look really tits with that new jacket you just bought.
#5. Skinny Jeans Can Cause Nerve Damage
No longer the exclusive domain of effeminate glam rockers, hipsters and fat dudes with tight clothing budgets, skinny jeans have become a part of the mainstream fashion scene. You may also know them by some of their other names -- "pegs," "drainpipes," "stovepipes" or "cigarette pants" -- but based on their effect on the human body, we're coining a new term right now: "nerve-murdering leg-pythons."
Doctors actually warn that wearing tight pants like skinny jeans can compress the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which runs down your thigh and, like all other nerves, is there to register physical sensations like touch and pain.
"Even if I wear them ironically?
Therefore, if you squeeze your legs into a tight denim casing like some sort of hairy, flesh-colored sausage, the constant pressure on the LFC nerve might cause it to go into overdrive and start registering pain like crazy before ultimately crashing and burning. The medical name for it is meralgia paraesthetica. Despite sounding like a supporting villain in a Harry Potter book, that's actually a serious neurological disorder that causes numbness of the leg, stinging pain, oversensitivity to heat and even atrophied leg tissue in some cases.
Leg tissue if you're lucky.
Meralgia paraesthetica, which is usually seen among girdle wearers and friggin' car accident victims, can be further exacerbated by women wearing high heels. So, sexy ladies with poor driving skills, you're really getting the short end of the pain-pants stick on this one. Potentially dangerous blood clots, however, are great supporters of gender equality: They strike men and women alike whenever they don the skinniest of pants. Luckily, in most cases, the injuries are not permanent and can be reversed simply by taking the pants off.
So there you go: You've got a new pickup line to try at the bar tonight.
"Damn it, ladies! There's no time! I'll just have to save the three of you at once."
#4. Facial Piercings Can Short Circuit Your Brain
As we all know, getting your lip, nose or eyebrow pierced is not only the best way to distinguish yourself as a unique snowflake amongst a banal blizzard of humanity, but also grants you exclusive admission to a large club of like-minded fellows! Unfortunately, your whole "misunderstood alt-culture rebel" mystique will go flying out the window once you start pratfalling at random and go cross-eyed like a bad Jerry Lewis routine.
Just pick one.
Scientists suspect that getting facial piercings can damage the facial trigeminal nerve, which connects the physical sensations in your face up with your neural center. So if you damage your trigeminal nerve, it can mess with how your brain works.
It turns out that the trigeminal nerve is in a sort of Tomax and Xamot relationship with your cerebellum and vestibular nucleus (parts of the brain responsible for eye alignment and posture). For those of you who know of sex, we'll explain that last analogy for you: If you fuck with one, you fuck with the other. So a misplaced or mishandled piercing can lead to symptoms like eye misalignment and loss of balance.
"Honestly, I don't even like this haircut, but I keep falling out of the stylist's chair."
Think of a pierced trigeminal nerve as a prank call to your meat CPU, telling it that, say, the floor is now slanted at a 60-degree angle. Your newly crossed eyes totally "confirm" this information, your body tries to adjust itself, and Bob's your uncle -- you just ate shit into a storm drain because you had to put a yin-yang symbol in your nose.
There is good news, though: In a 2011 French study, subjects with facial piercings who were complaining about dizziness, headaches and balance issues all suddenly felt better when their face jewelry was removed. Minutes after putting it on again, however, some of the symptoms returned, fading yet again when the piercings were taken out.
"We only dropped him twice each, which was a huge improvement."
So it looks like you have a choice here: Either risk nerve-damaging your brain until you can't stand up straight, or give up the one thing that distinguishes you from the dreaded "sheeple." It's like Sophie's Choice for surly teenagers.
#3. Your Accessories Might Be Toxic
You know those cheap, tacky rings and necklaces they sell in mall kiosks, right next to the bejeweled iPhone cases with portraits of Nelly on them? If you've ever forgotten your wife's or daughter's birthday and suddenly needed to buy a present -- any present, for the love of God! -- then yes, you probably do. Also, you have likely just poisoned your family.
"... no, this time was unintentional."
Ever since the world first learned about the dangers of lead and how maybe we shouldn't be putting it in our paints and babies anymore, many overseas manufacturers have been trying to find a cheap replacement metal with which to build their discount jewelry. Many of them settled on cadmium -- it's inexpensive and easy to handle, as well as horribly toxic and linked to kidney/bone/liver disease and cancer.
In a study of 92 pieces of chintzy tween jewelry, it was discovered that two of them would end up exposing a person to 100 times the recommended limit of cadmium if swallowed. The rest of the trinkets weren't exactly safe to begin with, but could become up to 30 times more noxious if they were ever damaged. Remember: This gaudy, bargain-basement jewelry is mostly marketed to children, whose primary goals in life are to break things, put them in their mouths and break things by putting them in their mouths.
"If they didn't want me to eat this, they shouldn't have made it so delicious."
You have to wonder, though, what exactly did happen to all that lead that used to go straight into the mouths of our children via their Claddagh necklaces. The answer: It's being put inside women's handbags that are found in every major retail store in the country.
In the Center for Environmental Health's study of 100 handbags from major retailers like Target, Macy's, Walmart and Kohl's, it came to light that many of them contained more lead than a Chinese knockoff of 50 Cent. Some of the bags had 30 to 100 times the federal limit set for lead in consumer products. That is especially bad news for people with children, as the toxic lead can rub off onto your hands and later onto your kids when, ironically, you slap them for touching your poisoned handbag.
"Honestly, I view the poison as a mercy."
So we guess that the lesson in all of this is ... if you don't buy expensive brand-name goods, you will kill yourself and possibly your family. Man, we always knew that we'd kowtow to corporate America, but we didn't think that it would be because of mass poisonings. We had our money on hybrid-monkey shopping enforcement squads in the "corporate dystopia" pool.

Next, I will be showing you "how to draw chibi Hulk", step by step. He is the muscular, green, strong machine that has a short temper and a will to live. I have an awesome regular lesson on the Hulk, and to incorporate the two to look the same in a sense. Even though drawing chibi Hulk may look a bot complex to draw, he really isn't. In reality, drawing any type of chibi character is simple. If you have a love for anime, and you like drawing chibi, you will adore learning "how to draw chibi anime". As a matter of fact, whenever you draw an anime or manga character in chibi form, you are actually drawing chibi anime. Anything and everything can be turned into chibi form. The Incredible Hulk is one of the more popular Marvel Comics characters that has been created. Hulk, Spiderman, the X-Men, and Iron Man are some of the heroes that Marvel gained popularity for. Maybe I will do more lessons of these pop culture stars. I mean, who wouldn't want to draw heroes in chibi form, isn't that when they look both cool, and cute? I think I have said all I can.

Why did the devil go after Eve and not Adam? Was it because Eve was weaker than Adam? Why didn't the devil tempt Adam first?

It must be noted that the Bible never explicitly answers this question, so our answer has to come from related observations we make from the text. However, we must admit that these observations are not explicitly taught from the Scriptures, so we must not be emphatic where the Scriptures are not. It is important, then, to identify what it is that we do know and what it is that we do not know.
We do know that the prohibition from eating the fruit of the tree was directly given to Adam by God prior to the creation of Eve.
The Bible never indicates how Eve learned about the command. We do not know whether God repeated the command to her after He created her or whether Adam passed it on to her. We do know that she seems to be aware of the command during the temptation, although her statement of it differs from that which was given to Adam--Eve adds the part about not touching it. She also fails to call the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil by its name, referring to it simply as the tree in the middle of the garden.
So, perhaps Eve received the command secondhand and wasn't as certain about it as Adam was. Again, we don't know for sure, but this is at least a possibility. If so, then it is reasonable to assume that Satan saw Eve as the one more susceptible to deception.
We do know that by deceiving Eve, though, that Satan got two for one. He had to deceive Eve, but Adam willingly followed her into sin, despite not being deceived. Eve seems to not have understood what she was doing, but it seems that Adam actually did--and did it anyway.
If Adam had been the first to sin, we do not know if Eve would have followed. Perhaps so. We do know, however, that Adam did follow Eve into sin.
It could be suggested that Eve's weakness was uncertainty, while Adam's weakness was Eve.
So, again, we don't know for sure, but we can make some observations about the text and draw some possible explanations to answer this question.
(assuming a literal Genesis interpretation) Genesis gives (to the best of my knowledge) no mention of a reason here. In the lack of further supporting scripture, "why not?" is probably as good a reason as any. Since no scriptural basis exists, one could just put it down to convenience: she was nearby and
The reason for Eve being tempted very likely has little to do with her gender. She was admiring the tree and the snake (Satan) tempted her. Non-christian apocryphal texts (there is a link here) often paint Eve as weak against temptation, but these documents are not accepted as canon by any of the major christian denominations.
Remember that Eve was created as a helper to Adam and created from Adam. As a being created from Adam, Eve would have, in a sense, been further removed from God.
Many ancient civilizations - including the one(s) to which the book of Genesis was written* - had the concept of emanations which basically subscribe to the idea that created things are subject to, and hence weaker than, the thing from which they are created. Adam being directly created by God would have been "closer" to God than Eve, and hence a "harder" target.
Note this isn't a physical, spiritual, or even a maturity thing. Its totally foreign to modern ears - its just the idea that Adam would have been "the firstborn of creation" and Eve wasn't. You don't attack the prince, you attack the prince's helper, and hope to get to the prince, and eventually the king.
*I'm a little bit concerned about opening a can of worms here. Did the Holy Spirit dictate the Scripture or was it a product of the cultures in which it was written? I actively don't want to open that can of worms. What I can say is this - the Jewish cultures to whom the Word was first given (whether that would have been as they were fleeing the Egyptians, when they were in the Kingdom, or as part of the Babylonian exile) all would have understood / subscribed to this concept.
I also get a little bit concerned, because while this concept is seen throughout Scripture, it is a mostly Helenistic idea, incorporated into the thinking of those who received the Word. If the writers of Scripture are simply human, then one would say this was simply part of the background of the writer. If the Holy Spirit is the sole writer of the Word, you could argue, hermeneutically, that he was simply conveying the information in ways that the people would have understood, or it simply could have been that's just the way it was.
I'm trying to stay objective and give an answer that is consistent with as many of these strains of thought as possible.
**N.B. The term 'logos' actually comes from this idea of an emanation - the Logos is the Word that was directly from God, was with God, and ultimately was God.
I am going to give an answer from a scripture-based Catholic point of view. The devil had no intention of making Adam fall. His full aim was to deceive Eve and Eve alone. This is the reason why Bible says that "Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner."1 Timothy 2:14
In revelation we know that all angelic beings' minds (including devil's) was illuminated by God with the plan of salvation, that God will be born of a woman: The woman will bring forth a child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.Rev 12:5 This is clear that a human being who is less than angelic beings, will be brought to higher glory than them. This human was to be brought forth by the woman. And the devil had a problem with this.
He knew that the woman was the central figure to this plan, and bringing down the woman will spoil the entire plan. The vision clearly states that the dragon was chasing the woman to kill her, seek his revenge and spoil God's plan. Rev 12:13-16 narrates his attempt. This vision happened before the creation of the material world.
After the creation of the material world, the Devil acted as soon as he saw a creature (Eve) who looked like in the vision he had before the fall, and decided to tempt her. The problem is he chose the wrong woman. Also note that the woman in the vision (before the fall) was timid and fearful. She runs for her life and earth has to protect her. The execution of devil's plan had cost the whole of humanity, not just the woman. So God cursed the devil/snake differently than He did with Adam and Eve. He foretells the victory of the woman and her seed and that they both will hate him. This shows that the woman will no longer be timid, but victorious.
Remember the war in heaven is not between God and the devil, but rather between creatures.
This is why Catholics believe that of all creatures Mary is the one Satan hates the most. His hate for all other creatures put together will not be equal to the amount of his hatred of Mary. Because when he sees Mary, he sees his loss and his doom.

Are there any good, modern widget toolkits for Pygame? I've looked at PGU, but it's apparently unmaintained.

We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
No. Every year someone makes a new Pygame UI library and then abandons it after a few versions, probably once they realize that writing button layouts is easy but writing a complete UI library is real work. The
Back in January, 2011, I looked at five GUI toolkits for pygame, and tried to get all of them working with Python 3. The five were: Albow, GooeyPy, PGU, pqGUI, and sgc.
I didn't succeed with GooeyPy, but I did get the other four to work with Python 3. (I wanted to also try poutine, by Shandy Brown, but I couldn't find it, and I entirely overlooked Ocemp.)
Unfortunately, Albow and Ocemp seem pretty much dead. Albow was last updated in 2009, and Ocemp was last updated in 2008. (Note that the version of Albow at pygame.org is not the latest one.)
PGU (Phil's Pygame Utilities) has been taken over and maintained by Peter Rogers, and Victor Kam converted most of it to Python 3. It was last updated January 2012, and is presumably improved since I examined it. (Note that the version of PGU at pygame.org is not the latest one.)
sgc was new and still very incomplete when I looked at it. However, it is being actively developed, and might be much improved, by now. (Note that the version of sgc at pygame.org is not the latest one.)
I ran each of the five through a simple Lines-Of-Code counter to gauge their sizes:
These were the results (in January, 2011):
Albow code min=2810, max=4551 (max = 162% of min) Albow\demo min= 453, max= 649 GooeyPy\gooeypy min=2034, max=3941 (max = 194% of min) GooeyPy\examples min= 178, max= 351 pgu\pgu min=2910, max=7047 (max = 242% of min) incl. pgu\pgu\gui min=1678, max=4638 (max = 276% of min) pgu\examples min= 822, max=2527 pqGUI.py min=1586, max=1834 (max = 116% of min) Example.py min= 178, max= 225 sgc (incomplete) min= 889, max=1243 (max = 140% of min)
In each case, the "min" number is more representative of the "size" of the toolkit, since it doesn't count whitespace and comments. When the "max" number is very close to the min number, it means that there's not much whitespace and not many comments in the code. pqGUI exemplifies that, because it has almost no comments at all (and no docstrings, either), which is too bad, because (IMO) it made the nicest-looking GUI elements.
Major caveat: docstrings are not counted as comments! That makes PGU, sgc & GooeyPy, which have docstrings, look fatter and less well-documented than they really are, compared to Albow and pqGUI, which lack docstrings.
I liked pqGUI because I liked the look of the widgets it makes, but it is unsupported and undocumented, and I couldn't find the author.
Of the five, as of January 2011, PGU was the clear leader. But I was dissatisfied with all five, so I wrote my own. (Note: PGU & sgc have both been updated, and presumably improved, since I looked at them.)
Per Joe Wreschnig's wry observation (above), my GUI toolkit is incomplete, like all the others. But it does have a few things going for it.
However, it lacks some important controls you're likely to want, like file-open/combo-box dialogs, and tables. The controls that do exist look nice, but features like title-bars & scroll bars are fixed numbers of pixels in width, rather than adjustable-width. The code is well-commented, and there's a demo app with usage examples, but there's no proper how-to-use documentation. Also, it's pre-beta, so everything is subject to change.
The line-of-code counter results for it are:
DavesGUI (w/ demo code) min=2267, max=3055 (max = 135% of min) (w/o demo code) min=2018, max=2644 (max = 131% of min) (w/ docstrings commented-out) min=1442, max=2644 (max = 183% of min)
If, in spite of those limitations, someone wants to try it out, then contact me by email. Ask about "DavesGUI." My email address is here: http://www.burtonsys.com/email/
I've added very basic GUI elements to my GameEngine library: http://aharrisbooks.net/pythonGame/ch10/ (Included in a book on game development in Python)
I built very simple GUI elements based on the standard sprite: a label, button, multi-line label, and mini-scroll-bar.
These tools are quite basic, but they are adequate for many uses. Of course, the library is completely open-source, so feel free to modify them if you wish. The one user interface element I didn't add (yet) was a text input widget. That's because the event model is much more complex for this than the other models, and I was running into a deadline.
Feel free to play with that (whether you use the book or not) and let me know if you run into any troubles. I'll try to help.
I've got videos of my course available at http://synapse.cs.iupui.edu/Mediasite/Catalog/
Look at the N451 course. That's the one on game development.
I have recently seen pygtk used with pygame and it works really well. Just ensure you use the expose event with the gtk drawing area widget and update pygame data on each pass through the gtk main loop. If you want a full fledged gui toolkit to work within pygame it wont happen, but if you want a full gui toolkit to use with pygame then your in luck, pygtk is it. You can even use gtk using the C programming language and still import pygame as a widget onto the drawing area and update pygame in python if that floats your boat and you want turbocharged speed. Why the fuss, just use google and find the answer then implement it, not hard and no biggy. By the way pygame is really cool. Those guys have put so much work into it, and it works so efficiently its amazing. Those pygame guys deserve kudos for the work and time put into making pygame into a super game development kit.

WHEN TENNESSEE BISHOP was 15 years old, he gambled away his shoes in a crap game with the slaves on his father's farm.
His father beat him.
Several days later, as he was recovering from his bruises, his mother came to him and said, "Tennie, you're well enough to walk. You'd better leave."
So goes the story, passed through four generations, of the beginning of the western trek of the man who carried his origins in his name-Tennessee Carter Bishop, born in Carter Co., Tennessee.
WALK HE DID. The year was 1846. The way was west. He worked as a deckhand rafting on the Missouri River for a time and finally joined a wagon train for California. He mined his way down the slope of the Sierra, through Placer County to Sacramento and finally to Sonoma City in 1853. He returned to the mines for a season and then decided to give up gold-seeking for law enforcement, frontier-style.
He took a job as a deputy sheriff in Mendocino, working the sawmill settlements in the Big River area, a challenge even for a tough 22-year-old who had walked across the plains. By 1855 he had traded his badge for a Sonoma County deputy sheriff's star and was working as a carpenter in the Sonoma Valley between spells of peacekeeping.
According to his granddaughter's memoirs, he was building a schoolhouse in Glen Ellen, working on the roof, when 15-year-old Eliza Smith, daughter of a Donner Party survivor, came riding up with two other friends. The young women, all ruffles and finery in their sidesaddles, were on a visit to the valley from the Dominican convent, then in Benicia. They reined in at the schoolhouse construction site for a drink from the well.
Tenny Bishop, 25 years old and imbued with a strong sense of southern gallantry and an eye for a pretty girl, eschewed the ladder and leaped 10 feet from the rooftop to land at Eliza's feet, offering her a drink from the wooden well bucket.
They were married and soon went to homestead a section (160 acres) in the rugged northwestern section of Sonoma County. His claim, known first as the Bishop Ranch, then, presumably as a testimony to the terrain, the Rockpile Ranch. Bishop built the Rockpile Road, using his badge to direct prisoners from the county jail, which raises speculation that the name, and the name of the ranch, may not pertain to the landscape as much as its origins.
For a brief period in the 1860's, Tennessee came down from the mountains, buying a farm at the head of Dry Creek Valley, part of the land now comprising Warm Springs Dam. In 1865, however, he went back to the hills. An 1880 historian paid tribute to Tennessee in an 1880 biographical sketch: "He is one of the most widely-known and popular citizens of the county, being justly celebrated for his overflowing hospitality … Mr. Bishop's ranch is one of the best in Sonoma county and he devotes all of his attention to raising sheep."
THIS WAS NOT PRECISE information. Evidence is that Tennessee did not devote ALL of his attention to raising sheep. Some of it went to raising hell. Tenny Bishop, like most of his neighbors, was a Confederate sympathizer and, from all accounts, a leader in early Sonoma County's version of the Ku Klux Klan.
J.C. Shipley, a schoolteacher who worked in schools in the northern part of the county in Civil Wars [sic] days, told tales about "the bulk of the population" being "fire-eating, blood-spilling, roistering Southern Democrats who had a chill, frothed at the mouth and gnashed their teeth every time they saw a Lincoln Republican … all Union sympathizers kept their mouths shut, for during the war a thriving band of the Ku Klux Klan operated in this county."
Tom Hudson was "the Imperial Wizard". His ranch was south of Healdsburg on the west bank of the river. Tennessee Bishop, the sheep-rancher sheriff (He served two terms as sheriff before his death in 1888 in addition to his long service as a deputy), was generally acknowledged as a leader also.
THE KLAN DOES NOT seem to have been the sinister organization here that it was in the Deep South. Judging from teacher Shipley's family tales, it was more of a Confederate support group than a terrorist organization.
(Later, closer to our own time, there is some evidence that Sonoma County residents did organize a more sinister Ku Klux Klan group. A newspaper story in 1925 reports on a KKK organizational meeting in an El Verano hall. The reporter did not enter but counted 40 automobiles parked outside. Recollections of people living outside Sonoma County at that time indicate that Santa Rosa was generally regarded as a center for Klan activities in the 1920's but, unfortunately, the documentation is almost non-existent for that particular chapter in our history.)
But Civil War days, being longer ago and farther away, are easier to discuss. "On nights when they had nothing to do, wrapped in sheets, hooded in pillow cases and mounted on wild horses, they rode about the country, yowling, shouting, howling and cat-calling in the vicinity of homes of people who were known to be out-and-out Union supporters. They never lynched anybody or burned any victims at the stake, but they would shoot off their old cap and ball pistols along with their other demonstrations just to put the fear of God into the few loyal Unionist who dared express themselves."
BISHOP ACHIEVED CONSIDERABLE notoriety in his time for hiding his fugitive brother, Jack Bishop, in the Rockpile hills. Jack, one of Morgan's Raiders in the Civil War, came to California and mined along the American River where he shot and killed his claim partner for robbing the sluice box at night. He fled to the protection of his brother and "lurked in the hills" for two months.
"The family story is that Tennessee was running for re-election as sheriff then and actually considered hanging his brother." says a Bishop great-grandson. "He thought it would be good publicity."
Other family members say that this is an embellishment added by the great grandson, one Hugh Bishop Codding, who did indeed, punctuate that thought with a chuckle and a "Doesn't that sound like something I would do?"
THERE ARE OTHER progeny of old Tennessee Bishop in the area. Grace Codding Cummings lives in Santa Rosa as does the late Bruce Codding's sons, Jim and Dick. An older brother, Earl Codding, lives in Marin.
Hugh Codding, often likened by his mother to Tennessee ("My youngest son looks more like his Grandfather Bishop than any of the family I think," wrote Ruby Jewell Codding in her memoirs. "The Bishops were wild and wooly in the traditional spirit of the early west."), is quick to fall back to his ways when the occasion demands. On one of his 1960's forays into politics, Codding justified his shift from Republican to Democrat by saying "My great granddaddy, who walked across the plains, always said he'd vote for a yaller dog if he was a Democrat."
In Sonoma County 100 years earlier, that would have been reason enough to elect him.

text/html. Thanks!
When you receive email in gmail, gmail honors the "text/html" body part if one is present. I do not think there is any way to disable this behavior if you are using gmail's web interface.
However, for mail that is "sent from gmail", this is easily do-able:
I checked my gmail, and it is sending mail with:
My Gmail "Settings --> General" has this enabled:
And when I compose a message in gmail, I make sure I am using "plain text" for my email.
One option would be to use the mobile version of gmail, m.gmail.com.

Bright, versatile, and highly durable.
Princeton Tec engineers designed the Apex Pro Headlamp to suit the needs of serious adventurers and professional athletes by providing the same power as the original Apex while cutting over three ounces of weight.

Take On The Night
I have a headlamp I use for camping but was looking for something more powerful for night skiing and biking and this is perfect. I got mine in black.
Artic camping, Alaska (5F to -15F). What is the Princeton Tec model that allows the battery pack to be stored in an inside jacket pocket, while connected to the headlapm, rather than on theback of the headstrap.

Homebrew Instruction Class
Making beer at home is cheap, easy, and great fun. Learn about the initial phase, which is basically tea made from grains (usually oats, wheat, or some similar combination thereof) and then adding sugar in.
Class schedule to be determined by speed of material acquisition. I would like to hold first class in December. Full fermentation (first boil to first beer) is about 6-8 weeks.
It consists of a lot of boiling and since we haven't tried it on this stove before... may be upwards of 3 hours long. Bring something to keep yourself entertained in the meantime (like a great book, some home brew you've already made, or your latest project).
A partial list of materials, blatantly stolen from the local brewshop's site (www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com):
* 6.5 Gallon Bucket w/Spigot (Primary Fermenter) * 5 Gallon Glass Carboy (Secondary Fermenter) - Steve C has one of these he can donate * Funnel * Two Rubber Stoppers * Two Airlocks * Siphon Hoses * Bottle Filler * Bottle Brush * Carboy Brush * Butterfly Bottle Capper * 60 Caps * Hydrometer and Sample Jar * Fermometer * Siphon Starter * Glass bottles to hold 5 gallons of beer... approximately 60x 12 ounce bottles. * 4 or 5 gallon (the larger the better) brewpot WITH LID for making the wort in its initial phases, preferably steel or aluminum * Plastic spoon for stirring wort whilst making the tea * Nice thermometer, with some sort of attachment for side of the brewpot
This is materials for a 5 gallon batch of beer, which yields about 4.75 usable gallons. The only thing needed for more beer (or beer to be brewed more often) is the ingredients and more carboys and bottles, all of which is highly modular and can be acquired as necessary.
Steve C is the local brewer, but has not done every type of beer out there... yet.

Preservation, Italian Style
Italy's luxury fashion brands are stepping in to save imperiled monuments—and secure the country's artistic future
OF ITS MANY TIMELESS ATTRACTIONS, Italy is perhaps most famous for its monuments of jaw-dropping beauty and astonishing age. Yet after so many centuries of wear, the country's cultural heritage is showing worrying signs of fatigue. Antiquities are among the most helpless casualties of Italy's ongoing debt crisis. In the past two and a half years, the 2,000-year-old House of Gladiators collapsed in Pompeii, the roof of Emperor Nero's home in Rome fell in and part of the Colosseum crashed to the ground. In May, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks destroyed dozens of monuments in the Emilia Romagna region near Bologna. Seeking new and creative ways to recover from this spate of disasters, the government has turned to an unusual savior: fashion.
Unlike France—Europe's other seat of fashion power—the Italian government spends only a fraction of its budget on art preservation. Yet Italy is home to an astounding two-thirds of the world's art treasures, according to UNESCO, giving the government a sense of global responsibility. "The dimension of our heritage is gigantic—Italy is an entire museum," says Ilaria Borletti, chairwoman of the Italian National Trust, or FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano), which is responsible for much of that national inheritance—though it lacks the funds to maintain the monuments it's responsible for. "The state in Italy desperately needs private money to support it," she says.
Italy's culture minister, Lorenzo Ornaghi, has been working with Prime Minister Mario Monti to encourage more private donations to support the arts. But, until recently, there have been few incentives for generosity: The country's tax system doesn't favor charitable contributions, and efforts to donate are often met with Byzantine bureaucratic demands. In short, there exists no national plan for restoring the nation's many artistic and historic riches.
Already well-practiced in preserving Italy's sartorial and textile-making traditions, many Italian fashion houses appear ready to take on the job of protecting their country's cultural heritage—and championing contemporary art. Ferruccio Ferragamo says his father, Salvatore, who founded their namesake brand in the 1920s, "saw fashion and culture as inextricably linked."
This is a new role for fashion in Italy, where, until recently, just a few old-money houses maintained impressive but weakly publicized fine arts–supporting foundations. The Trussardis, Zegnas and Max Mara's Maramotti family, for instance, have sponsored everything from an exhibition of American contemporary artist Paul McCarthy's Pig Island sculpture to a full-on art museum, Collezione Maramotti. Tucked away in the rural Reggio Emilia region, the museum is visited by only 20,000 people each year. Meanwhile, the Etro family's vast collection of paintings and sculpture in Milan remains closed to the public. Relative newcomer Prada, on the other hand, is going public: The company's art arm, the Fondazione Prada, has enlisted architect Rem Koolhaas to design a new contemporary art museum on an industrial site south of Milan.
In her position at the crux of Italy's crumbling cultural assets, Borletti plays to the dual interests of fashion magnates when she petitions them for funds: helping build their brands while saving their nation's rich aesthetic history. She notes that the Zegnas and Giorgio Armani have been hugely supportive of FAI projects, including the restoration of Milan's famous modernist Villa Necchi, as well as the Abbey of San Fruttuoso, near Portofino. They understand how dire the situation is in Italy, she says. But part of her pitch is grounded in business strategy: high-culture deeds burnish the luxury brand. "It's keenly important for the image, marketing-wise," she says.
For the new entrants, like Tod's Diego Della Valle and Miuccia Prada, splashy generosity may be especially effective as a savvy marketing strategy. Della Valle's 25 million–euro contribution to restore the Colosseum grabbed headlines for its extraordinary size, yet set off a firestorm of criticism in Italy when it was revealed that the gift came with strings: It secured the right for Tod's to use the monument in the brand's advertising and marketing campaigns.
Regional patriotism plays a role in determining where some contributions go. Italy remains at heart a collection of city-states, and much of the fashion industry's support for the arts is essentially local. The Ferragamos, from Florence, have paid municipal workers' salaries to open the city's ancient center on weekends. And one of the newest fashion barons, Brunello Cucinelli BC -1.42 % —the son of a factory worker who built an empire on cashmere sweaters—set about restoring much of the village center of Solomeo, where his company is based. That effort—and his support to restore nearby Perugia's Etruscan arch—hasn't quite earned him inside access to the club of old-family wealth in Italy, but it is a way to connect his past to the future. "Since the beginning, I tried to create a business philosophy based on values, such as ethics, dignity and beauty," he wrote in an e-mail. This is the country, after all, where beauty trumps all.

Nutritional Health for Women
Water is essential for life and activity. Water is necessary for transporting nutrients in the blood, digesting and excreting nutrients, providing the structure to your body cells, regulating temperature, lubricating joints and organs, and protecting the brain and spinal cord.
Water must be replaced in large amounts daily and is the number one nutrient needed to survive. Athletic and physical activity requires water; sweating requires more. Dehydration is the term used to describe low water levels in the body. Signs of dehydration include thirst, weight loss, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, dry mouth, small amounts of dark-colored urine, headaches, poor concentration, overheating, and, ultimately, whole body collapse.
Water or juices in plentiful amounts is the best fluid source for your body. Water can also be absorbed by the body in foods (soups, melons, and vegetables). It is recommended that at least eight, 8 ounce water or juice drinks are consumed each day, in addition to drinking that makes up for sweat lost during a workout. (For specifics on fluid recommendations during exercise, see chapter 14, "Exercise Fuel.") Caffeine, alcohol, and some stimulants found in "energy drinks" are diuretics and cause your body to lose water (resulting in more urination); therefore, these drinks should not be considered part of your minimum daily fluid needs.
Because the blood is full of molecules, the correct ratio of molecules to water must be maintained in order to keep the blood flowing and allow for transport of nutrients in and out of cells. Much of this transport follows gradients across cell membranes. Electrolytes facilitate these gradients via chemical interactions between molecules; thus, electrolytes maintain proper body fluid levels and transportation of essential nutrients. Electrolytes are lost through sweat, urine, and digestion and must be replenished daily. Sports drinks are formulated to replenish electrolytes. The most important electrolytes are sodium and potassium.
Sodium is necessary for maintaining water in the blood and for regulating nerve and muscle activity. It is lost in sweat and must be replenished with exercise that lasts more than 60 minutes, or sooner if exercising in high temperatures. Low sodium levels can cause drowsiness, weakness, cramping, and confusion. Endurance athletes who drink water without sodium during long events can develop serious illness. Sodium is found in many natural and most processed foods. Potassium also plays a role in muscle and nerve activation and also functions in glucose transport and glycogen storage. Potassium is lost in sweat; low potassium can cause muscle weakness and fatigue, and in severe cases, affect heart rhythm. Potassium is found in fresh fruits and vegetables.

Whenever I try to open a file (such as an .odt, or .doc) from say, the Dash or the Firefox Downloads, Ubuntu 11.10 opens Nautilus to the the folder where the file is, rather than just going to the application and loading the file straight away.
In previous releases, when I clicked on a downloaded file, it just went straight to LibreOffice, and it was fine. This is adding a superfluous step in the process.
How do I associate the correct extensions?

This will sound like a silly question, but I don't recall that my professors ever though me what this means. For example:
X=1.2345(6) units
This is uncertainty, that much I do know, but does it mean:
X=(1.2345+-0.0006) units or??
We only did the second notation, and recently (mostly in particle physics papers) I'm finding this notation, and I have problems with it :\
Sorry if it's a silly question...

Just as when I was trying to avoid a wipe the other night in HToC, and those stupid Shaman wolves kept the battle going until my invisibily faded and I was discovered by the Black Knight…
I'm back, but not out of combat just yet.
Mum has gone, but my family are firmly engaged in "wipe recovery", cleaning up the mess that has been left behind (and let me assure you, it is quite a mess).
Meanwhile I am itching to return to posting but have struck two issues.
1. I'm feeling a little OOM. Both in the physical sense and in the post inspiration sense.
I will recover from both of these things pretty quickly I'm sure.
2) I returned to work today to discover my whole team has moved to a newly refurbished floor.
Unfortunately my desk is in a very public position, it could only be more public if I was in the tea room.
So I am feeling like an OOM Mage that can't leave combat to drink (with both invisiblity and evocation on cooldown).
I will keep posting as time allows, I just expect the images will be few and far between (Yay! I hear some of you say…).
On the WoW Front
Gnomeaggedon has been languishing next to a Dalaran mailbox waiting for the chance to strut his fireworks for 3 odd weeks now.
One of my mates had a LAN to celebrate his 40th this past weekend an my wife suggested I go… She thought I needed a bit more of my mates company and a bit less of family cleaning politics.
I got the chance to catch up with TreeHuggerDave for a few instances, including, shock-horror, a run of Occulus… finally… I discovered later in the weekend that my friends weren't avoiding taking me through Heroic Occulus, they were just avoiding Occulus in general. Maybe something has changed recently, but I found it a good fun instance.
I also got a couple of runs through ToC both in normal (practice run) and Heroic.
Heroic can be a pig!
Enough of the jousting already!
Nice loot, shame none of us could use ANY of it!
It really struck me that while it is relatively quick, it's not the sort of instance I am going to rush to repeat… I'd rather do Gnomeragan 3 times in a day that ToC 3 times in a week.
T7 complete
Finally, better late than never, I have a complete set of T7. Not that I am using most of it, but I finally picked up the helm off KT the other night.
The words out of my mouth to my mates in the room when it dropped:
If I don't win the roll on this f'n helm this time, Gnomeaggedon gets sharded… No, not his gear, him.
"You discover Gnomes disenchant into Goblins"
Will appear on your screen if I don't win this roll…
The other Mage in the party rolled 63… I rolled 65…
So Gnomeaggedon is safe… For now…
Squidly's challenge
Squidly on the other hand has been seeing a bit of action.
One thing about an Alt, is you cane play in small slices of time.
A quest here…
A half dozen mobs there…
Maybe even an instance or two… Especially if boosted.
The Squid's looking pretty good at level 36. I am definitely loving the healing for a change of pace, even fighting off other healers so I don't have to DPS (OK, so I can rarely resist and the odd lightning bolt and flame shock has been seen to leave my healing hands).
I have now run DM, Gnomer, BFD and SM several times. I have only managed to run DM and SM (GY and Lib) unboosted… and I loved it!
I have decided boosting is a last resort. Apart from the fact it is quite boring, loot this, loot that… I have had more deaths on a boosted run than on an appropriate level run. The booster gets too far ahead, stray mob comes in and it's all over.
THD was practicing his macro writing skills on one SM run and kept leaving me to die just so he could test his new Rez macro…
The 3 appropriate level runs were awesome.
Only lost one party member in DM… Due to LoS… His fault, but the 2 other tanks stepped in to fix that. I even got complimented after… Not bad for my 1st healing run in 3 years…
SM was faultless until a wipe in the library… But then there was no tank, just DPS, with this DPS playing healer for the run, and only occurred because everyone ran off behind pillars picking their own targets… Forget healing one tank target, try healing 4 dps tanking targets… Didn't happen again…
Anyway, I have a screenshot folder filled with screenies for you all, but I probably won't be sharing them.
Anyway, until the inspiration strikes (and the time appears) again…
Gnomer and Out!
PS: thanks again for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers.
Mum is with Dad again both physically and spiritually and all is good.
My family have been great, particulary Odin who was running around the chapel and jumping in my arms during the eulogy.
Just one weird moment as Mum was lowered into her grave and Odin got a bit upset, he was happy she was going to grow grass, but dropping in the hole wasn't right. For once in his life Odin didn't want to throw sand. All was good though and he couldn't wait to get to Nanny's last party.

From Ralph Hipp
Well, December and Christmastime are here, and with it brings the sounds of the holiday season on the radio. Topeka has many fine radio stations which don't really change things around too much. That's why this season, you'll be hearing holiday music on KMAJ, Majic 107.7 again this month.
KTPK's newest addition, program director Robb Rose (taking the job once held by our esteemed Chris Fisher) reminds me that Country Legends 106.9 will devote an entire 24 hours to Christmas music from 6pm Christmas Eve till 6pm Christmas night.
Now to Kansas City, where holiday music has been moved all around. Since last Christmas, KUDL and Star 102 have changed their formats.
KUDL (98.1, still very hearable in Topeka) is now duplicating the news and talk show programming of 980 KMBZ on its FM station. So they won't be doing any music of any kind this year. And Star 102 early this year, changed to Alice 102, so they will be sticking with the music they normally play on the air. So where did they move my music?
KFKF, one of the longtime country giants in Kansas City, is now promoting itself as "your official home for Christmas Music.." and you'll find them going wall-to-wall at 94.1. They include a lot of country Christmas songs, more than the other stations did. And since KUDL doesn't play its soft rock anymore, that format has moved over to "The Point," (99.7 on FM) and they are promising to provide us with plenty of holiday tunes as well.
So that's 94.1 and 99.7, instead of 98.1 and 102.1; ho, ho, ho! I hope that clears up any confusion you may have! Ralph

For the past two years, I have placed a wreath adorned with sunflowers to honor the memory and pay respect to the late James Arness on his medallion on the Dodge City Trail of Fame located in downtown Dodge City. For those that aren't aware, Arness was a famous actor that portrayed Marshal Matt Dillion in the long running and well recognized television series, Gunsmoke. Unfortunately, this special wreath in honor of his memory was stolen earlier this week.
I am asking that whoever took the wreath please return it to James Arness medallion located on the north side of the Fidelity Bank building on Gunsmoke St near Second ave. It is not about the expense of the wreath but what it means to me and many others in Dodge City. James Arness was my friend since 1959. He was a good Christian man with excellent values. Arness has been greatly missed since his passing on June 3, 2011. Please show some respect for the man who helped make Dodge City legendary and return this memorial wreath to its rightful use.
Kindest Regards,
Charlie Meade
Special Deputy U.S. Marshal
