Since the City of Amarillo announced voluntary watering restrictions, I have complied in the spirit of water conservation.
That is until today when I learned from a front-page story in the Globe-News that Amarillo public schools are watering athletic fields at least twice daily, seven days a week.
The care and watering of my lawns and gardens are just as important to me as those athletic fields are to the schools. (The water I use is a mere "drop in the bucket" compared to the water used on athletic fields!)
So today, I have resumed my regular summer watering schedule, sometimes at a more frequent interval depending upon the temperature.
I will comply with mandatory restrictions so long as schools comply.
Meanwhile, I will water my property as I deem necessary.

I'm starting to really hate this game! How do you get such a high Max Combo? I've tried so many times, but only once managed to get my Max Combo over 3000, and still only got a B Ranking for Castle of Varrvazzarr. I just can't consistently get high combos with Aspharr. Swinging non-stop doesn't work for me. I eventually get hit hard by an enemy and the combo ends...

Read an Excerpt
April 18, 1942
The 16-ship Navy task force centered around the aircraft carriers Hornet and Enterprise had been steaming westward toward Japan all night. I had given my final briefing to the B-25 bomber crews on the Hornet the day before. Our job was to do what we could to put a crimp in the Japanese war effort with the 16 tons of bombs from our 16 B-25s. The bombs could do only a fraction of the damage the Japanese had inflicted on us at Pearl Harbor, but the primary purpose of the raid we were about to launch against the main island of Japan was psychological.
The Japanese people had been told they were invulnerable. Their leaders had told them Japan could never be invaded. Proof of this was the fact that Japan had been saved from invasion during the fifteenth century when a massive Chinese fleet set sail to attack Japan and was destroyed by a monsoon. From then on, the Japanese people had firmly believed they were forever protected by a "divine wind" -- the kamikaze. An attack on the Japanese homeland would cause confusion in the minds of the Japanese people and sow doubt about the reliability of their leaders.
There was a second, and equally important, psychological reason for this attack. America and its allies had suffered one defeat after another in the Pacific and southern Asia. Besides the devastating surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese had taken Wake Island and Guam and had driven American and Filipino forces to surrender on Bataan. Only a small force of Americans was left holding out on the island of Corregidor. America had never seen darker days. Americans badly needed a morale boost. I hoped we could give them that by aretaliatory surprise attack against the enemy's home islands launched from a carrier, precisely as the Japanese had done at Pearl Harbor. It would be the kind of touche the Japanese military would understand. An air strike would certainly be a blow to their national morale and, furthermore, should cause the Japanese to divert aircraft and equipment from offensive operations to the defense of the home islands.
The basic plan for the raid against Japan was simple. If the Navy task force could get us within 400 to 500 miles of the Japanese coast, the B-25 medium Army bombers aboard the Hornet would launch, with carefully trained crews, against the enemy's largest cities. Although the carrier's deck seemed too short to allow the takeoff of a loaded B-25 land-based Army bomber, I was confident it could be done. Two lightly loaded B-25s had made trial takeoffs the previous February from the Hornet off the Virginia coast before the carrier had joined the Pacific fleet. All of the pilots had practiced a number of short-field takeoffs at an auxiliary field near Eglin Field, Florida.
I would take off first so as to arrive over Tokyo at sunset. The other crews would leave the carrier at local sunset and head for their respective targets. I would drop four 50-pound incendiary bombs on a factory area in the center of Tokyo. The resulting fires in the highly inflammable structures in the area would light up the way for the succeeding planes and steer them toward their respective targets in the Tokyo-Yokohama area, Nagoya, and the Kobe-Osaka complex. The rest of the B-25s would be loaded with four 500-pound bombs each -- two incendiaries and two demolition bombs. After launching the B-25s, the Navy task force was to retreat immediately and return to Hawaii.
We would not return to the Hornet. After bombing our targets, we were to escape to China. The planes would be turned over to the new Air Force units being formed in the China-Burma-India theater.
There were five crew members in each airplane -- pilot, copilot, bombardier, navigator, and gunner. One crew had a physician aboard -- Dr. (Lieutenant) Thomas R. White -- who had volunteered and qualified as a gunner so he could go. This was a fortuitous choice, as it turned out, for four members of another crew.
The State Department had tried to get permission from the Soviets for us to land in Soviet territory for refueling. This flight would have been an easy 600 miles or so after bombing the Japanese targets. But permission was denied because the Soviets were neutral vis-a-vis Japan and did not want to have another Axis power at their back door invading their country from that direction.
Therefore, after dropping its bombs, each plane was to head generally southward along the Japanese coast, then westward to Chuchow, located about 70 miles inland and about 200 miles south of Shanghai. After refueling there, we were to proceed to Chungking, 800 miles farther inland. The greatest in-flight distance we would have to fly was 2,000 miles. With the fuel tank modifications we had made and extra gas in five-gallon cans, there was enough fuel on board to fly 2,400 miles, provided the crews used the long-range cruising techniques we had practiced.
Our planes had been positioned on the deck for takeoff the evening before. The mechanics had run up their engines and made last-minute adjustments. I wanted the crews to get a good night's sleep, but few heeded the advice of an oldster who, at 45, was twice the age of most of them. Some of the officers played poker with the Navy pilots who had been unable to fly since leaving California because our planes took up all the space on the deck. The Navy pilots and our crews wanted to recoup their individual losses before we left.
The Enterprise launched scout planes at daybreak for 200-mile searches, and fighters were sent up as cover for the task force. The weather, which had been moderately rough during the night, worsened. There was a low overcast and visibility was limited. Frequent rain squalls swept over the ships, and the sea began to heave into 30-foot crests. Gusty winds tore off the tops of the waves and blew heavy spray across the ships, drenching the deck crews. At 6:00 A.M., a scout plane returned to the Enterprise and the pilot dropped a bean bag container on the deck with a message saying he had sighted a small enemy fishing vessel and believed he had been seen by the enemy.
Admiral William F. Halsey immediately ordered all ships to swing left to avoid detection. Had the enemy vessel seen the aircraft? No one knew. The question was answered about 7:30 A.M. when another patrol vessel was sighted from the Hornet only 20,000 yards away. A Japanese radio message was intercepted by the Hornet's radio operator from close by. One of the scout planes then sighted another small vessel 12,000 yards away. A light could be seen bobbing in the rough sea. Halsey ordered the cruiser Nashville to sink it.
Unknown to us, the Japanese had stationed a line of radio-equipped picket boats about 650 nautical miles out from the coast to warn of the approach of American ships. I went to the bridge where Captain Marc A. Mitscher briefed me on what had happened. "It looks like you're going to have to be on your way soon," he said. "They know we're here." I shook hands with Mitscher and rushed to my cabin to pack, spreading the word as I went.
Some of the B-25 crews had finished breakfast and were lounging in their cabins; others were shaving and getting ready to eat; several may have still been dozing. A few had packed their bags, but I think many were completely surprised because they thought they would not be taking off until late afternoon.
At 8:00 A.M., Admiral Halsey flashed a message to the Hornet: LAUNCH PLANES X TO COL DOOLITTLE AND GALLANT COMMAND GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU.
The ear-shattering klaxon horn sounded and a booming voice ordered: "Now hear this! Now hear this! Army pilots, man your planes!"
The weather had steadily continued to worsen. The Hornet plunged into mountainous waves that sent water cascading down the deck. Rain pelted us as we ran toward our aircraft. It was not an ideal day for a mission like this one.
The well-disciplined Navy crews and our enlisted men, some of whom had slept on deck near their planes, knew what to do. Slipping and sliding on the wet deck, they ripped off engine and gun turret covers and stuffed them inside the rear hatches. Fuel tanks were topped. The mechanics pulled the props through. Cans of gasoline were filled and handed up to the gunners through the rear hatches. Ropes were unfastened and wheel chocks pu11ed away so the Navy deck handlers could maneuver the B-25s into takeoff position.
Meanwhile, the Hornet picked up speed as best it could in the rough sea and turned into the wind. The 20-knot speed of the carrier and the 30-knot wind blowing directly down the deck meant that we should be airborne safely and quickly. This ability of an aircraft carrier to turn its "airfield" into the wind is a distinct advantage. Rarely do Navy pilots have to worry about cross-wind takeoffs and landings. However, a rough sea such as the one in front of us could ruin a pilot's day if he ignored the signals of the deck officer and tried a takeoff when the bow of the ship was heading into the waves. It was like riding a seesaw that plunged deep into the water each time the bow dipped downward.
Lieutenant Henry L. "Hank" Miller, the naval officer assigned to us at Eglin Field, Florida, to teach us how to take off in minimum distances, said good-bye to each crew. He told us to watch a blackboard he would be holding up near the ship's "island" to give us last-minute instructions and the carrier's heading so our navigators could compare our planes' compasses with the ship's heading and set their directional gyros. The navigators were very concerned about our magnetic compasses. After more than two weeks on the carrier, they would be way off calibration, especially on those planes that were tied down close to the carrier's metal structure. With an overcast sky, the navigators wouldn't be able to take shots of the sun or stars with their sextants. It would be dead reckoning all the way to the Japanese coast. A check on the accuracy of the compasses was essential.
My crew emerged quickly from their quarters below decks. Sergeant Paul J. Leonard, our crew chief, was one of those skilled mechanics who knew instinctively what to do. Me already had his barracks bag and toolbox stowed in the rear and was helping the deck crews get our ship into takeoff position. In the air, he would be the top turret gunner. During our training at Eglin, he had proven he was a marksman with the twin .50s. Born in 1912, he had dropped out of high school in Roswell, New Mexico, and enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1931, at the start of the Depression. He was one of those rare individuals who applied himself and became one of the most outstanding mechanics with whom I ever served. Men like him were the backbone of the nation's air service when war began and were highly regarded for their dedication and expertise. They set high standards for the enlisted men who served with them.
Sergeant Fred A. Braemer, of Seattle, Washington, was another "old-timer." He had joined the infantry in 1935 and transferred to the Air Corps in 1939. He had completed both bombardier and navigator training but was serving on our crew as the bombardier.
Our copilot was Lieutenant Richard E. "Dick" Cole, from Dayton, Ohio, who had completed pilot training in July 1941. Dick was a quietly competent pilot who had attended Ohio University for two years before enlisting as a Flying Cadet. If anything happened to me, I was confident that he would take over the controls of the aircraft and the leadership of the crew without hesitation.
Lieutenant Henry A. "Hank" Potter, of Pierre, South Dakota, was our navigator. Like so many young men in those days, he had also completed two years of college, the minimum for entry into flying training, and had graduated from navigator school in 1941.
I was proud of my crew and all the other volunteers who were willing to lay their lives on the line for a risky mission that I could not tell them about until we were on the carrier. Every man had proven his competence during our training at Eglin. I felt completely comfortable and confident as our B-25 was placed in takeoff position and the wheels chocked.
I knew hundreds of eyes were watching me, especially those of the B-25 crews who were to follow. If I didn't get off successfully, I'm sure, many thought they wouldn't be able to make it either. But I knew they would try.
I started the engines, warmed them up, and checked the magnetos. When satisfied, I gave the thumbs-up sign to the deck launching officer holding the checkered flag. As the chocks were pulled, he looked toward the bow and began to wave the flag in circles as a signal for me to push the throttles forward to the stops. At the instant the deck was beginning an upward movement, he gave me the "go" signal and I released the brakes. The B-25 followed the two white guide lines painted on the deck and we were off with feet to spare as the deck reached its maximum pitch.
We left the Hornet at 8:20 A.M. ship time. The carrier's position was about 824 statute miles from the center of Tokyo. Its position: latitude 35º43'N, longitude 153º25'E.
I signaled Dick for wheels up and as the plane gained flying speed, I leveled off and made a 360-degree turn to come over the carrier. This gave Hank Potter a chance to compare the magnetic heading of the carrier with our compass and align the axis of the carrier with the drift sight. The course of the Hornet was displayed in large figures from the gun turret near the island. Through the use of the airplane's compass and directional gyro, we were able to set a fairly accurate course for Tokyo.
As we headed toward Japan at low altitude, I thought about how easy the takeoff had been. If everyone followed instructions, they should have no trouble. A night takeoff would have been easy and practicable. That was something I wanted to report to Washington when I got home. It might be useful for future operations.
I began to wonder about the arrangements in China. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, China's ruler, had not wanted us to land in China after bombing Japan for fear of extensive retaliation against his people by the Japanese, who had occupied China's coastal areas and Manchuria for several years. The Chinese had been slaughtered by the thousands whenever marauding Japanese troops invaded an area. American military personnel in China reported that leaks of classified information were common; we were told that secrecy was almost impossible to maintain in Chiang's headquarters. As a result, it was decided in Washington that he would not be informed of our plans until we were at sea and the mission could not be recalled.
As we droned on at about 200 feet above the water, Dick Cole and I took turns at the controls. We were all concerned about gas consumption, and everyone on the flight deck was continually checking the gauges against our estimates. A half hour after takeoff we were joined by the second B-25 to depart, which flew a loose formation with us. It was piloted by Lieutenant Travis Hoover. About an hour later, we sighted a camouflaged Japanese ship that we thought might be a light cruiser. About two hours out we flew directly under an enemy flying boat that just loomed at us suddenly out of the mist. We don't think they saw us. It was heading directly toward the task force.
The weather improved gradually as we got closer to Japan. We changed course briefly several times to avoid various civil and naval-surface craft until we made landfall north of Inubo Shima, about 80 miles north of Tokyo. This was the first time Hank Potter was able to get an accurate fix on our position. Trav Hoover promptly turned off toward his target area.
Since we were somewhat north of our desired course, I decided to take advantage of our position and approach the target area from a northerly direction, thus avoiding anticipated antiaircraft batteries and fighter planes located in the western part of the city. We stayed as low as we could and saw many flying fields interspersed among the beautiful scenery. People on the ground waved at us. There were many planes in the air, mostly small biplanes, apparently trainers.
It was shortly after noon in Tokyo. About 10 miles north of the city we saw nine enemy fighters in three flights of three. Dick Cole kept Paul Leonard advised of the enemy aircraft he could see ahead and at one time counted 80. The fighters didn't attack us, but flak from antiaircraft ground batteries shook us up a little and might have put a few holes in the fuselage.
When we spotted the large factory buildings in our target area, I pulled up to 1,200 feet and called for bomb doors open. Fred Braemer toggled off the four incendiaries in rapid succession. It was 12:30 P.M. Tokyo time.
I dropped down to rooftop level again and slid over the western outskirts of the city into low haze and smoke, then turned south and out to sea. We saw many barrage balloons over east centra1 Tokyo and passed over a small aircraft factory with a dozen or so completed planes on the flying line. Unfortunately, we had no bombs left and I didn't want anyone to do any strafing with our machine guns. If we had done that and were downed for any reason, we would surely have been dealt with severely by our captors.
As we sped toward the coast, we saw five fighter planes converging on us from above. There were two little hills ahead. I swung very quickly around the hills in an S turn. The fighters turned also, but apparently they didn't see the second half of my S. The last time I saw them, they were going off in the opposite direction from us.
We stayed low off the coast and Hank Potter plotted a perfect course to Yaku-shima. The ceiling gradually lowered along the route and got down to about 600 feet. We then turned west over the China Sea and encountered a headwind. Hank Potter estimated we would run out of gas about 135 miles from the Chinese coast. We began to make preparations for ditching. I saw sharks basking in the water below and didn't think ditching among them would be very appealing. Also saw three naval vessels and many small fishing vessels. None of them fired, so they probably didn't see us.
Fortunately, the Lord was with us. What had been a headwind slowly turned into a tailwind of about 25 miles per hour and eased our minds about ditching. Trav Hoover had followed us nearly all the way to the Chinese coast. However, he left us as the weather deteriorated and it began to get dark. Visibility was reduced drastically by fog and light rain. As we crossed the Chinese coast, I went on instruments and pulled up to 8,000 feet through the overcast. Our maps showed the mountains to be about 5,000 feet above sea level, but the maps were probably inaccurate. We saw dim lights below occasionally through cloud breaks but had to remain on instruments.
We tried to contact the field at Chuchow on 4495 kilocycles. No answer. This meant that the chance of any of our crews getting to the destination safely was just about nil: Chuchow was situated in a valley about two miles wide and 12 miles long. Without a ground radio station to home in on, there was no way we could find it. All we could do was fly a dead-reckoning course in the direction of Chuchow, abandon ship in midair, and hope that we came down in Chinese-held territory.
When the gas gauges read near zero, I put the B-25 on automatic pilot and told the men in which order to jump: Braemer, Potter, Leonard, and Cole. If we all jumped in a straight line, it would be easier to find one another when we got on the ground. As Dick Cole left, I shut off both gas valves and squeezed quickly after him through the forward hatch. It was about 9:30 P.M. ship time. We had been in the air for 13 hours. We might have had enough fuel left for about another half hour of flight, but the right front tank gauge showed empty, and fuel gauges, even today, are notoriously inaccurate when registering near the zero mark. We had covered about 2,250 miles, mostly at low speed, but about an hour at moderate high speed had more than doubled the consumption during that time.
As I dropped into the rainy darkness, I suddenly realized that I should have put the flaps down before we bailed out. It would have slowed down the landing speed, reduced the impact, and shortened the glide.
This was my third parachute jump to save my hide. It was impossible to see anything below, so all I could do was wait until I hit the ground. My concern as I floated down was about my ankles, which had been broken in South America in 1926. Anticipating a sudden encounter with the ground, I bent my knees to take the shock. When I hit, there wasn't much impact. I had landed in a rice paddy and fallen into a sitting position in a not-too-fragrant mixture of water and "night soil."
I stood up, unhurt and thoroughly disgusted with my situation and the smell, unhooked my parachute harness, and looked around. I saw a light and approached what looked like a small farmhouse. I knocked on the door and shouted, "Lushu hoo megwa fugi" ("I am an American"). This was the Chinese phrase we had been taught aboard the carrier by Lieutenant Commander Stephen Jurika, who had served in the Far East before the war. But I must have used the wrong dialect. I heard movement inside, then the sound of a bolt sliding into place. The light went out and there was dead silence.
It was cold and I was shivering. I stumbled on in the darkness and came to a sort of warehouse. Inside, two sawhorses held a large box that was occupied by a very dead Chinese gentleman. It must have been the local morgue. I left and found a water mill, which got me out of the rain, but I was thoroughly chilled. I lay down but couldn't sleep, so spent most of the night doing light calisthenics to stave off the cold. I stayed there until dawn and then followed a well-worn path toward a small village, where I came upon a Chinese who spoke no English. I drew a picture of a train on a piece of paper. He smiled, nodded, and started off. I followed him to a military headquarters where a Chinese major who spoke a little English gestured for me to hand over my .45-caliber automatic pistol. I refused and explained that I was an American and had parachuted during the night into a rice paddy nearby. He didn't seem to believe me, so I told him that I would take him to the spot and show him the parachute.
The officer, surrounded by about a dozen armed soldiers, escorted me to the rice paddy where I had landed, but the 'chute was gone. I said the people in the house must have heard our plane and could verify that I had knocked on their door the night before. However, when the farmer, his wife, and two children were questioned, they denied everything. The major said, "They say they heard no noise during the night. They say they heard no plane. They say they saw no parachute. They say you lie."
The soldiers started toward me to relieve me of the .45. It was not a comfortable situation. I protested and was saved from having to tussle with them when two soldiers emerged from the house with the parachute. The major smiled and extended his hand in friendship, and I was thus admitted officially to China. He led me back to his headquarters for a warm meal and a much-needed bath. I dried out my uniform but the stench remained intact.
Meanwhile, the major's men found all four of my crew. It was a relief to see that they were in reasonably good shape. The only minor injury was suffered by Hank Potter, who had sprained an ankle on the bailout.
When the soldiers found our plane, Paul Leonard and I went to the crash site to see what we could salvage. There is no worse sight to an aviator than to see his plane smashed to bits. Ours was spread out over several acres of mountaintop. I fished around the debris for my belongings and found my oil-stained uniform blouse. Some enterprising scavenger had already stripped it of all the brass buttons. There was nothing left of our personal belongings that was worth carrying away.
I sat down beside a wing and looked around at the thousands of pieces of shattered metal that had once been a beautiful airplane. I felt lower than a frog's posterior. This was my first combat mission. I had planned it from the beginning and led it. I was sure it was my last. As far as I was concerned, it was a failure, and I felt there could be no future for me in uniform now. Even if we had successfully accomplished the first half of our mission, the second half had been to deliver the B-25s to our units in the China-Burma-India theater of operations.
My main concern was for my men. What had happened to my crew probably had happened to the others. If so, they had to be scattered all over a considerable area of China. How many had survived? Had any been taken prisoner by the Japanese? Did any have to ditch in the China Sea?
As I sat there, Paul Leonard took my picture and then, seeing how badly I felt, tried to cheer me up. He asked, "What do you think will happen when you go home, Colonel?"
I answered, "Well, I guess they'll court-martial me and send me to prison at Fort Leavenworth."
Paul said, "No, sir. I'll tell you what will happen. They're going to make you a general."
I smiled weakly and he tried again. "And they're going to give you the Congressional Medal of Honor."
I smiled again and he made a final effort. "Colonel, I know they're going to give you another airplane and when they do, I'd like to fly with you as your crew chief."
It was then that tears came to my eyes. It was the supreme compliment that a mechanic could give a pilot. It meant he was so sure of the skills of the pilot that he would fly anywhere with him under any circumstances. I thanked him and said that if I ever had another airplane and he wanted to be my crew chief, he surely could.
While I deeply appreciated Paul's supportive remarks, I was sure that when the outcome of this mission was known back home, either I would be court-martialed or the military powers that be would see to it that I would sit out the war flying a desk. I had never felt lower in my life.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 3:07 PM GMT on October 30, 2006
Super Typhoon Cimaron made landfall on the northern Philippine island of Luzon this weekend as a Category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds of at least 160 mph. Cimaron could have been even stronger--NOAA's satellite team estimated Cimaron had 180 mph sustained winds with a pressure of 879 mb, but the University of Wisconsin CIMSS group put Cimaron's peak intensity at 160 mph, with a central pressure of 903 mb. Cimaron had one of the most remarkable intensification spurts on record--it went from a minimal tropical storm with 40 mph winds to a Category 5 storm with 160-180 mph winds in just 48 hours. The pressure dropped an estimated 118 mb in that time period! Like Hurricane Wilma of 2005, Cimaron had a very tight inner core with a small eye, which is typical of storms that perform freakish feats of rapid intensification. Cimaron was the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in eight years.
Figure 1.A zoomed-in shot of Cimaron's eye taken by NASA's AQUA satellite shortly before the storm made landfall in the Philippines.
Damage reports are just beginning to come in from the Philippines, and early reports put the death toll at 12 with over 20 injured. Most of the deaths have come from flooding and falling trees. Northern Luzon Island is very mountainous and heavily logged, so flash flooding presents a serious danger. Cimaron moved quickly enough that only about eight inches of rain fell across the island (Figure 2), so I am hopeful that the death toll will not increase much further. The coast is not heavily populated where Cimaron came ashore, so significant death or damage there is not expected. About 5,000 people were evacuated from low-lying areas before Cimaron came ashore.
Figure 2.Rainfall estimates from NOAA for Cimaron.
Cimaron follows on the heels of devastating Typhoon Xangsane which hit Luzon on September 27 as a Category 4 storm. Xangsane killed 218 in the Philippines, did over $100 million in damage, and left thousands homeless. All 43 million residents of Luzon lost power from that typhoon. Xangsane went on to deliver a serious blow to Vietnam as a Category 2 typhoon, killing 70. Cimaron is expected to hit Vietnam Thursday night in the same region Xangsane did. However, Cimaron is expected to be much weaker at this second landfall--perhaps just a tropical storm.

The Atlantic
The tropical wave (93L) moving through the Caribbean south of Jamaica has grown very disorganized, and development of this system is not expected. None of the computer models are forecasting tropical development in the Atlantic the remainder of this week, but unsettled weather is expected to remain in the western Caribbean.
A weak tropical disturbance near 10N 175W, about 1300 miles southwest of Hawaii, has the potential for some slow development this week as it moves towards Hawaii. Several of the computers models are predicting that this could develop into a weak tropical storm and affect Hawaii by Friday or Saturday. The disturbance is under about 15 knots of wind shear, and had top winds of about 25 mph in last night's QuikSCAT satellite pass.

Please visit the Bad Behavior web site for assistance with your issue with a development version of Bad Behavior.
I have a similar issue to this, so rather than start a new thread I'll post it here.
I've set up a forwarding url to a site I'm working on for a friend. It's hosted under my own network so it's not the simplest of addresses, which is why I set up the shorter domain redirect. The links are as follows:
Direct link:
Forwarding link:
I had to ask the service admin to set it up manually as he's imposed some - pretty ridiculous tbh - limitations on the service by practically interviewing candidates for url's as short as the one above - that said he did set it up himself. But when I try to change any of the settings (ie. keywords, favicon, etc...) it doesn't work and claims it can't reach my "real address". I contacted the admin and he claims his server's being blocked Bad Behavior. The info from his logs are as follows:
HTTP/1.1 403 Bad Behavior
Date: Sun, 12 Dec 2010 15:53:19 GMT
Server: Apache
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.13
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html
Obviously that means I'll need to set that specific as allowed so I can make changes from time to time, except I'm not sure how to. There's no "white list" option on the admin side and I'm not messing about with files directly unless I know for sure it won't completely mess up the site (again! :-/ X-D ). Can anyone advise on how to allow specific servers access to my site?
Thanks in advance,

when people first get their hands on msbuild, especially those familiar with other build systems, one of the first things they notice is msbuild's dependency analysis mechanism. the msbuild engine offers basic dependency checking based on explicitly declared target inputs and outputs. currently, the analysis is pretty simple, although helpful in many cases: msbuild checks output timestamps and input timestamps and if some of the outputs are older than some of the inputs (i'm glossing over details here), the engine will execute the target.
users of other build systems have pointed out a fairly obvious limitation of this mechanism: dependency analysis often must be more complex than timestamp checking. i couldn't agree more.
however, this limitation of msbuild's dependency checking mechanism should not be mistaken for a limitation of msbuild itself. reason: the author of a project file is not strictly limited to using the msbuild engine for her dependency checking, nor is she required to allow the engine to perform any dependency analysis at all! furthermore, and most importantly, this mechanism (whether opting in or out) in no way precludes tasks from performing their own dependency analysis at any level of precision they'd like, exactly as many (N)Ant tasks do today. the resgen task our team has developed does just this. we found in some cases simple filestamp checking would lead to skipped calls to resgen when they were actually required, so we simply moved the dependency analysis from the target level to the task level and voila! problem solved.
all this still leaves room for the engine to do more complex analysis while still exposing more control over it to the user, and we're thinking hard about how to make that happen.

The slick roads and blizzard-like conditions are a nightmare for most drivers.
But for Vern Kassuba, it's just another day on the job.
"It's been an eventful day we've had a lot of wind and snow," Kassuba said. "It's kept us busy."
H e is just one of the many snow plow drivers from our area road commissions that is trying to keep our roadways clean. B ut that task isn't an easy one.
" I mean the trucks can go through and 45 minutes later it looks like nobody had even been there," Pat Harmon, Charlevoix County Road Commission Manager said.
T oday's strong winds are creating headaches for drivers and it's not going to let up anytime soon.
" The winds are supposed to switch and blow out of the northwest tomorrow at 25 to 35 mph so we might not even see it let up until Sunday," Harmon said.
W hile the winds will create blurred vision on the roads , K assuba says there are bigger threats for drivers.
" Anytime t hey get icy we ' re in trouble ," Kassuba said. "T he snow isn't as bad , it's the ice that makes thing bad for the drivers who can't control their vehicle ."
T he nasty weather conditions will only get worse as the night goes on and our road commissions just have one simple message.
"P eople don't need to go and it's not an emergency stay home it's not worth it ," Harmon said.

"The Green Vale School is an impressive place with equally impressive people working in everycorner of the campus. What the Visiting Committee found was a school with a rich history and traditionanchored in the communities and families of the North Shore of Long Island that is also a modern21st century school. It is a school that embraces change but does not run to it. There is a methodbehind all that they do and a clear sense that any change must serve the mission.As a committee, we feel that we are probably taking more back to our schools than we can offer to Green Vale. This school and community did a great job in writing a deep and thoughtful self-study that willingly opened the school up to a discussion of possible courses to follow as the school responds to the changing demographics of the area and changing demands that the future will place on its students. There are issues to be resolved for the school in the next few years and we feel that the school has the systems, will, strength of purpose and people to successfully move forward."Excerpt from the February 2014 Report of the Decennial Visiting Committee,The New York State Association of Independent Schools

Brief Synopsis
Given the stakes involved in achieving a correct understanding of Russian and Chinese defense policies and military developments, the magnitude of Mary Fitzgerald's enlightening accomplishments in this regard becomes clear. However, the problems that we have outlined in this volume were not unfamiliar to students of the Soviet Union. Indeed, they are enduring strategic issues for Russian policymakers as well as those who analyze or contribute to foreign policies toward the Russian military, despite the magnitude of the tremendous changes that have occurred since 1989 when the Soviet empire began to collapse. Even more importantly, Mary and her colleagues recognized that the issues outlined here are not just tasks relevant for the general study of Russia, but by addressing these strategic issues, and their underlying implications, policymakers will engage in the essential tasks necessary for the creation of an enduring structure of peace.

1 killed, three injured in south Phoenix shooting
PHOENIX — Phoenix Police responded Friday afternoon to a shooting involving four victims near 14th Street and Roeser.
A woman in her 60s and another in her 20s were transported from the scene in critical condition, and Phoenix Police Department Sgt. Steve Martos said one of them later died. Another woman and a man in his 20s suffered non-life threatening injuries in the shooting, Martos said.
Martos believes there are as many as four suspects involved in the shooting, and their vehicle is being described as a 2000-2006 dark green Ford Expedition.
Video from a news helicopter showed one of the victims in the driveway of the house being surrounded by law enforcement, placed on a stretcher and put into an ambulance.
None of the victims' names were immediately released.
Martos said it's unclear if any of the victims were related. He wouldn't speculate if the incident was gang-related or if the victims were targeted.
Arizona Department of Public Safety officers were assisting Phoenix police in the search for the shooter.
At the scene, police marked at least 20 bullet shell casings with white evidence markers in front of the home and on the roadway. All the windows at the single-story brick house appeared to be covered with tin foil.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California was pushed to the brink of rolling blackouts after the state's biggest storm in three years cut electricity generation at a key nuclear plant.
The storm Thursday came as other electric generating stations shut down for maintenance, which coupled with the crippled nuclear plant cut the state's power output by one-third. Regulators declared a Stage 3 alert as reserves dropped below 1.5 percent.
Officials from the state's grid manager, the California Independent System Operator, credited an influx of power from Oregon and Washington state with fending off outages. Gov. Gray Davis planned to meet Friday with the governors of the two states to discuss the energy crisis.
Electricity shortages linked to California's botched deregulation of the power industry have produced soaring prices and sporadic threats of blackouts in California since last June.
''We can expect these alerts daily,'' said Jim Detmers, the ISO's general manager.
The governor says ISO managers aren't doing enough to find energy. His spokesman, Steve Maviglio, said the power generators on the ISO board benefit from the higher wholesale electricity prices brought on by the power alerts. ''They have an inherent conflict of interest,'' Maviglio said.
Detmers said they were ''not crying wolf'' in calling the alerts. He also noted that the board's members include state officials, along with people in the power industry. A state Assembly committee, urged by the Davis administration, has approved a bill to replace the ISO board with a three-member panel appointed by the governor.

Dave Winer's Weblogs.com ping service
has been purchased by Verisign. Dave does a rundown on the sale
here. Verisign
does a rundown
Why do you care? You probably don't need to.
Blog search engines and feed reading services can and do
take pings from Weblogs to
understand when content is updated. But it's not the only service you can ping,
if you want to send out notifications.
But why wouldn't you depend on pining Weblogs? Right now, there's no reason
not to. But while Verisign pledges pinging will remain free, it also talks about
adding "value added services" for a fee. Potentially, that could mean getting
some pings out faster than others. Or not. We don't know, and it remains a
"we'll see type of thing."
The main point is this. Ultimately, I think pinging will be heading down a
path of pinging the most important places in addition to any centralized server.
So if Weblogs suddenly did get all into charging for rapid response, you'd still
be able to notify other places despite it.
For example, you can (and should) ping Yahoo directly as explained
here. Yahoo
doesn't need to wait for you ping Weblogs or even
Blo.gs (the service Yahoo
in June).
Technorati has its own ping
server, and I expect that any major player may ultimately have their own,
perhaps with registration barriers or other systems to cutdown on ping spam. Any
smart marketer will hit these in addition to a centralized server.
The entire pinging thing got you down/head spinning? Basically, most of this
is probably built into the blogging tool you use. But a good starting place for
more is Ping-o-Matic, which helps you send
pings manually if you need to, plus has useful background.
By the way, in addition to Verisign buying Weblogs.com, the ping system, AOL
yesterday bought
the entirely different Weblogs Inc. network of blog sites.

REGION: New court aims to help mentally ill criminals
For the first time in San Diego County, some mentally ill criminals will be diverted from jail to a closely supervised treatment program.
Assistant Presiding Judge Robert Trentacosta oversees the fledgling Behavioral Health Court in San Diego, and participants must report to him in person every month.
Trentacosta said the court is a compassionate response to a population whose mental illness drives their criminal life.
"A lot of these folks, they are repeat offenders," the judge said. "They are released from custody and they have no support system. They take to their old habits, which would be stealing, selling drugs. We keep doing the same things and we expect different results."
Members of the Behavioral Health Court team, which includes representatives from the public defender's office, the district attorney's office, the Sheriff's Department, county probation, and county mental health, share a goal ---- to prevent mentally ill offenders from committing another crime by treating their illness and aggravating circumstances, such as substance abuse or homelessness.
Deputy District Attorney Lisa Weinreb, the team's prosecutor, said she hopes the court will benefit the public and the ill offenders by breaking a criminal cycle.
"We just see so many people in our criminal justice system who, if they had a chance to get regulated on their medicine, to get stabilized, they wouldn't come back into the system," she said.
The pilot court does not yet hear North County cases, but Weinreb and others said they hope it can expand.
The court convenes monthly in San Diego Central Court, with its third session scheduled for April 27.
What they get
So far, two people have been referred to the court: a 25-year-old woman arrested for felony burglary and a 58-year-old man arrested for drug possession. They have pleaded guilty to those crimes and have been "sentenced" to the Behavioral Health Court.
Weinreb said she wouldn't talk about either case or the mental health issues involved for fear of jeopardizing treatment programs in their early stages.
The court ultimately will serve about 30 people a year, providing comprehensive services, such as health care, housing, counseling, transportation, job training and education, generally as part of an 18-month program.
In return, they must agree to close supervision by a privately contracted case manager and regular court appearances. Participants are on probation for three years, and can apply to have their crime expunged from their record if they succeed in treatment and probation.
Anyone referred to the court has to have a serious, diagnosed mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
Sex offenders, nonresidents, illegal immigrants and people who have committed seriously violent crimes do not qualify. Nor do people who are too sick to understand the proceedings.
Not an easy way out
Behavioral court takes only voluntary participants. While the program confers many benefits, participants understand it's not an easy way out of jail, said Jeff Elias, the public defender who is part of the Behavioral Court team.
"Their lives are going to be under a lot of scrutiny, in most cases, more than they have ever had in their lives," he said.
In California, 25 of 48 counties have established mental health courts, and there are more than 218 courts nationally, according to the California Administrative Office of the Courts. Here, the Behavioral Health team members have been planning the new court for over a year.
Private contractor Exodus Recovery will provide clinical evaluations and case management of participants. The services will cost about $800,000 a year and are funded through money from Proposition 63, a 2004 ballot initiative that funded mental health programs statewide through a tax on income over $1 million.
Courts save money
There is evidence that mental health courts ultimately save taxpayers money.
A 2007 study by the nonprofit Rand research group that analyzed six mental health courts in six states concluded that, over time, the court would save taxpayers money because of lower recidivism rates and fewer emergency room visits.
Last year, the New York-based Council of State Governments Justice Center published a review of all the studies on mental health courts across the nation.
The review notes that, while under the supervision of a mental health court, participants have lower recidivism rates than those who go through traditional criminal courts. There is some evidence that the trend continues after court supervision ends, but the success varies from court to court, the report said.
San Diego is hoping for great success, starting small and carefully selecting candidates, said Philip Hanger, the county's assistant deputy director for forensic mental health.
"There's the sense that this is a pilot," Hanger said. "We're well aware we could expand in terms of numbers; it's our hope this can be expanded for mentally ill offenders who could benefit from it."
Who gets picked
Screening for behavioral court begins in jail. Upon booking, inmates are asked about their mental health history and given treatment if they have a disorder, said Dick Conklin, the head mental health clinician with the county's jails.
About 22 percent of all inmates at any given time are under psychiatric care in the jail, he said.
Some have a diagnosed disorder that might qualify them for Behavioral Health Court, he said.
If someone qualifies because of his or her mental health and criminal history and wants to participate, the jail sends a report to the Behavioral Health team, Conklin said.
The team scrutinizes pre-screened inmates' histories, and Exodus conducts a clinical evaluation of promising candidates.
Conklin said dozens of people have been considered, but with only 30 spots in the new program, the team wants to pick candidates who will succeed and who won't pose a threat if released from jail into treatment.
"The program is important to all of us, and the issue of public safety has to be first and foremost," he said.

Mazar-e-Shura → Mazar-i Shuhada — The name of the graveyard is Mazar-i Shuhada, not 'Shura'. The former means 'martyr' while the latter means 'council'.Jemiljan (talk) 17:21, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, I made a mistake. There is a discrepancy between the Arabic script text and the Latin Script text. The Arabic script gives "Shuhada" while the Latin reads "Shura". The term is actually شعاراء shuʿārā or "Shu'ara", meaning "poets", which is elided today in Kashmir to simply "shura", hence the confusion. So the page should not be moved, but the Arabic script should be revised and an accurate transliteration of the term added.Jemiljan (talk) 17:28, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
- Any citations of English usage? — AjaxSmack 08:33, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
- So far, no luck. I've searched the web, and only find WP references. There are two self- published English books which I have never personally seen, but oddly, they are not cross-listed in WorldCat, so that seems dubious. The Archnet site doesn't refer to it, although as it lacks any architecture, it may be beyond their scope. A cursory search through multiple databases such as JSTOR yielded only results about the Shura council in Afghanistan in relation to Mazar-i-Sharif. The PhD dissertation on the Divan of Abu Talib Kalim by Wheeler Thackston may contain more info, but Harvard University restricts access to all of their dissertations. So, this will require more research. Question: would it better to go with an accurate transliteration? Or the Latin spelling used in India today? Even so, this can be very inconsistent. Mazar-e-Shura, Mazar-i Shu'ara, Mazar-e Sho'ara, and permutations thereof are all possible. I do think that Shura is confusing, as it does mean "council", but if this is the spelling used in Srinagar, then I would understand.Jemiljan (talk) 03:13, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Study – Games offer US "rare opportunity" to invest in youth education
A new study, Game Changer: Investing in Digital Play to Advance Children's Learning and Health, has advised that games can be used as an educational force for American good.
"Despite their reputation as promoters of violence and mayhem, digital games have in fact been shown to help children gain content and vital foundational and 21st-century skills," said the paper.
"Digital games are here to stay and offer the country a rare opportunity to leverage children's already established enthusiasm in order to reform education and promote healthy development."
The report says America's money-givers should start investing in game's for the good of the nation's youth.

Gary Warnings Or Dangers Tips by sambarnett Top 5 Page for this destination
Gary Warnings and Dangers: 16 reviews and 7 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
- 1
The gasoline stations at the exits just off I-80/94 are safe enough to fill up at during the day, although you'll probably notice some hookers. If you need to fill up at night I'd recommend waiting until you reach Porter County, about 10 miles to the east.
This is a rough place. "Must See Activities" must be taken very lightly. If anything, I put these pictures here so you can see bits of the area without having to go through there.
���Parts of the city are safer than others, so check out my warnings.
Pictured: A hang out for a local biker gang: The Sin City Disciples. Obviously spelling isn't a prerequisite.
Beach and steel mill
Should you find yourself in trouble while driving the Indiana Univeristy campus at 34th and Broadway is safe and secure.
���Steelheads games are secure with a high but not overbearing or intimidating police presence. I'm sure it will be like that at the new baseball stadium.
���Marquette Park and Miller (including the Miller Woods trail and Lake Street beach) are generally safe during the day. I'm sure you will notice a lot of broken bottles and graffiti though.
Pictured: The beach at Marquette Park with US Steel in the background.
Helpful graffiti
Should you find yourself here, the Gary street system is pretty easy. Most of the city follows a grid pattern. The main street is Broadway (Route 53) which runs north-south and is intersected by numbered avenues. The higher the number the farther south you are heading. The Gary-Merrillville border is 53rd Avenue.
���North-south streets west of Broadway are named after US Presidents, in the order they became president. North-south streets east of Broadway after US States and their admittance to the Union. Hope you paid attention in Social Studies. Note: A few neighborhoods don't follow this naming scheme.

Fedora Investigates Security Incident
"Based on the results of our investigation so far, we do not believe that any Fedora packages or other Fedora contributor accounts were affected by thiscompromise," said Fedora project leader, Jared Smith in an email to the Fedora announce mailing list.
In his email, Smith noted that earlier this week a Fedora contributor account had been compromised; however, Fedora's Infrastructure Team can show that the compromise was external and was not due to any code vulnerability or exploit.
Smith also tells Fedora users the compromised account was not a member of any sysadmin or Release Engineering groups and the privileges on the account were limited to SSH to fedorapeople.org (user permissions are very limited on this machine), push access to packages in the Fedora SCM and the ability to perform builds and make updates to Fedora packages.
Smith reminds Fedora contributors to choose a strong FAS password and not to use their FAS password on any other websites or user accounts. He also tells contributors, "If you receive an email from FAS notifying you of changes to your account that you did not make, please contact the Fedora Infrastructure team immediately via admin at fedoraproject.org."

Very good, could use a tiny bit more game but it works well at what it does. But, it's been 2 years how about a new game to cover that. You said something and people listened, keep talking.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I love the way you portrayed the game. And it shows you something you don't see everyday. Most of everybody forgets about people that are transgender and how hard they have it. but over all there needs to be more games out there that needs to have transgender/homosexual people in it, Its a part of life and you can't hide it away from the public.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Okay.... um.... great job, just want to say that first. Okay.... don't tell us how sensitive your nipples are.... it's kind of uncomfortable.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
This, is a good thing. There needs to be more things like this out there, and while I can't say this is a game, I mean it is. But it's not really a game in a sense that you can lose. Very little actual gameplay you see. But, in terms of what this represents. It's wonderful. I haven't played really anything that makes me take a look at this process. And while the game itself only gives a bit of an overview of what going through this can be like, (I understand it goes better or worse for other people). It's still wonderful that this can be played, and a lot of people can see it for what it is, instead of what might be different.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Beautiful. I loved the image of the shape trying to pass through a gap in the wall and being unable to fit. Although the gameplay was simple, I played it less for that and more for the imagery and symbolism. The people leaving negative and rude comments are painfully obvious in their ignorance. "Remember, you're submitting a REVIEW for this CONTENT. This isn't a place for you to make smug jokes, post stupid nonsense, or act like a total jerk." Art is just another way of expressing emotion and personal experience, and this game does this nicely.

I'm working with the Default Template and am running into an odd quirk. I want the text of a post or a page to be Verdana, and have reset the H1, H2, and H3 on the style sheet to Verdana.
But, while the post text on a page is now Verdana, the post text on the front page is Georgia! There's no reference to Georgia or a serif font in the style sheet. The header is Verdana but the text is not.
Has anyone run into this? I'm usually good at this, but I've never worked with modifying the default template before.

Thought You Guys Might Appreciate This
So I am taking a Video Storytelling class in college and I had to create a 15 second film with 5 scenes, 3 seconds each. It really is a reference to the Batman series, specifically the "Suit Up" scenes. The thing I really thought you guys could get behind though was a soundtrack choice. My friend sings the Duel of Fates song. It's prime. Thanks for the support.
I'm down with anything that is "prime" :D
Oh, that is a wonderful unintentional pun. I didn't even intend that. Thanks Prime.
Wait! Where's the gloves?
Can't have a "Suit Up" scene without the gloves, with a fist pound into the other hand, you know. ;)

Rallying point
Homestanding Tourists pull off thrilling comeback
Published: Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 11:28 p.m.
ASHEVILLE The Hammer and Shoeless Joe were at McCormick Field on Wednesday to help the Asheville Tourists open an eight-game homestand.
Jeffrey The Hammer Cunningham hammered the first walk-off home run of his career, a three-run shot to right field in the 10th inning, sending the Tourists to an 11-8 win over the Delmarva Shorebirds. The blast capped a stunning comeback for the Tourists, who trailed 8-2 after four innings and 8-4 entering the ninth.
I struggled big-time today, said Cunningham, who finished 2-for-6 with three strikeouts. I was out on my front foot chasing bad pitches. I was just looking for a pitch in the zone and I was happy I got a pitch I could turn on.
The win, combined with a Columbus loss, puts the South Atlantic Leagues first-half champions of the Southern Division back into a tie for first in the second half. The Tourists (17-9) came home following a 6-2 road swing.
That was fun, said Asheville manager Joe Mikulik. Thats what its all about. You have to give (Delmarva) credit. They came out swinging it, but in this ballpark its never over.
Mikulik coached at third base without shoes for the first three innings of the game. He was raising awareness for the Tourists Childrens fund and honoring the 109th anniversary of Shoeless Joe Jacksons birth.
One of Cunninghams three Ks came after three straight Asheville singles opened the bottom of the ninth. But the Tourists hung in, taking advantage of a wild pitch, a balk and another single to put the tying run on base.
After Darrin Holcombs single plated Michael Mitchell, pinch runner David Christensen advanced to second on a groundout and then scored on Brian Rikes two-out single to right.
The ninth inning was huge, Mikulik said. We had quality at-bats there and really had quality at-bats the whole game. To me, its contagious for this club. Thats the way its been when weve been going good.
Holcomb had a pair of doubles to give him 37 on the year while extending his streak of reaching base safely to 42 games. Mitchell (2-for-4) scored three runs with a home run and two RBIs.
Craig Baker (5-3) pitched a scoreless top of the 10th, the sixth in a row from Ashevilles bullpen, to pick up the win.
Delmarva reliever Scott Mueller (0-1) got in trouble with a pair of two-out walks. Not wanting to fall behind Cunningham early, he threw a first-pitch fastball right in Cunninghams wheelhouse.
We got back to playing baseball, Cunningham said of the Tourists recent hot streak following a slow start to the second half. We spent a lot of energy winning the first-half title.
Joe Nowicki hit two of the Shorebirds three home runs. His three-run home run in the fourth gave Delmarva an 8-2 lead. He drove in a game-high four runs.
The same teams return to McCormick Field today for the second game of a four-game set. Delmarvas Zach Britton (8-5) will face Sheng-An Kuo (8-5).

Can Say
Posted by chacho on Jul 12, 2011
Can really say because I haven't open it yet but I hear its good.Works better than krill oil, salmon oil, cod liver oil, mussel oil, or any other refined marine oil.And I don't have to worry about it going bad (spoil)or fishy smell (meaning it oxidized more harm than good, leading to "harmful free radicals.)Coconut oil is best along with Avocado oil, grapeseed oil, walnut oil, and pumpkin seed oil. I use them all.
