Re: Ten Myths About Men
truth mixed w/ fiction, seen in most of 'em, is my gen. take.
didnt address men will do 10k words(max), women 25k easy.
and what was that "man created.." b.s.? either i didnt get
what he was refering to, or it was bogus, period(inferiority).
there was also quite a bit of redundancy at the end there,
leading me to agree w/ someone who posted that the
author maybe was trying too hard to get some F in bed.
(or playing w/ himself)
Re: Ten Myths About Men
it has been my experience that 1,2,3,4 and 6 are true... They are less emotional and sex is everything and because they don't communicate how they feel they are limited creatures. Most men are identified by their job and what they "do" for a living. Some are commited or so it appears.

Sometimes people want to be listened to, and sometimes they want solutions. and you might also consider what it means to solve a problem. if a "good" outcome results, the problem has been solved. Maybe too many men get grid locked into "this is how to solve it" instead of realizing there are many ways to solve a problem

Re: Ten Myths About Men
Great article. I thought men were not emotional, too, but its not true at all.
Re: Ten Myths About Men
i agree with most of it

Like a lot of summaries, there is a kernel of interesting factoids.

Ten Myths About Men
Interesting article from MSM today.
I would have to say I agree with the statement "A woman with a laser-like intelligence, sharp sense of humor and a compassionate soul now, that's a centerfold." in Myth #7 110%. That is exactly what attracts me to my wife.
Really, Man?The 10 Biggest Myths About Guys
May 21, 2010
We always find ourselves unable to resist clicking on those articles that claim to know "what he's really thinking" so when we came across this man's point-of-view piece, we were immediately intrigued. Here's an inside look at the male psyche that helps us better understand the supposedly simpler sex. Glo
By Brendan Tapley for Woman's Day
What makes a man? The mythology surrounding this question still looms large. So much so that men often experience a hidden battle: whether their decisions should be self-determined or dictated by how masculine they will seem to others. Do I let my wife know how much something is bothering me or will that come across as not being in control? Do I speak my mind at work or does that risk being seen as too emotional? If I take a stand on a principle that bucks the boys' club, will I lose status? Luckily, women can be strong advocates for change by encouraging men to evolve and expand beyond the stereotypes. Take a look at the 10 biggest falsehoods about men that, when debunked, can lead us to true masculinity.
Myth #1: Men Are Not Emotional
This may come as a surprise, but men are probably more emotional than women. How is this possible? Unlike femininity, masculinity doesn't permit emoting on a regular basis, so men are like Victorian novels: placid on the outside, but concealing a deep emotional life within. Convincing a man that it is masculine to open up in fact, it takes more cojones to do so is a cause women should embrace. By encouraging men to reveal their true feelings, women are helping them release pent-up emotions, leading to a happier and healthier guy.
Myth #2: Sex Is What Matters the Most
Yes, sex is important to men. It's one of the ways we access our imaginations. (At times, it might seem like the only way we do.) But one of the big secrets about men is how much they long for real solidarity with their partner. And sex, because it makes the imagination literal, is something we rely on to achieve that bonded feeling. Next time you see your mate's desire for sex as chauvinistic, remember that he may be asking for proof that you and he are the team he fantasizes about.
Myth #3: A Man Is His Job
For most men, the pressures of work stem from two things: a desire to excel at something (a principle of manhood we were taught as boys) and a need to contribute to the well-being of our families. But duty is not the same as identity, and what one does is not the same as who one is. This is true for women, too; but, culturally, men are more defined by their professions, which can keep their passions what really identifies them invisible. Talking with men about their interests is a great way to get away from the conventional ways they are seen even how they see themselves which will help ensure a more unconventional (and improved) masculinity.
Myth #4: Males Are Limited Creatures
Men are underdeveloped is the most effective propaganda the male sex has created. Your belief in our limitations brings certain rewards (i.e. expectations are lowered; bad behavior is tolerated; apathy becomes a non-negotiable). Women, the usual victims of these limitations, most likely buy into the idea because it elevates them. The thing is, men are not limited; and if women decide to sacrifice a little superiority, they will gain better treatment by men. Just look at the vibrant imagination of any five-year-old boy or recall the way past boyfriends have courted you we can be highly animated, curious, loving and devoted. Holding your guy to a higher standard may not get thanks right away, but it will actually liberate him to be a more expansive, and more real, man.
Myth #5: Men Hate to Commit
Masculinity is one of the most oppressive forces, as far as behavior goes, because it demands that men appear tough at all times thereby avoiding any overt displays of love and affection, which can be detrimental to a relationship. How often have you witnessed a man shut down during a tender moment or make a joke to detour from it? The toll this eventually takes is enormous, depriving men of the riches of intimacy one of which is completely giving over to a true and loving partnership. While men may appear to prize freedom and independence, in their heart of hearts they truly value loyalty. In standing by her man, a woman can fill a primal absence. And once he realizes you have his back, he will start to show his feelings in his own way which may not be traditional romantic gestures, but they will be gestures nonetheless.
Myth #6: Guys Don't Communicate
Men like to talk have you ever tried asking us the best way to get somewhere? But we often censor ourselves based on how we think women might react to a deeper honesty. So, there are times we just don't bother. This is unfortunate, because men's internal lives are interesting and telling, and getting to know them by suspending judgment will encourage a man to be more open and more revealing to you.
Myth #7: A Woman's Looks Are Everything
Non, nein, nope. A woman's beauty is a thing to behold, and sometimes we can behold it at the wrong times (like when passing another woman on the sidewalk). But that's just visual titillation. The stimulus that matters most reaches our hearts and minds. A woman with a laser-like intelligence, sharp sense of humor and a compassionate soul now, that's a centerfold.
Myth #8: Men Don't Take Things Personally
This is certainly a myth we would like to believe about ourselves. Nothing fazes us: We're breezy, easy, confident. Yeah, right. The fact is that men take many things personally the light teasing about our paunch, the less-than-stellar bedroom performance, the snide colleague at work but the principles of masculinity prevent our admitting them. The problem is, these things come out in ways that truly affect us. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, men commit suicide four times as often as women, and suicide currently ranks as the seventh leading cause of death for men. Watching for when a guy might be repressing reactions for the sake of masculine pride, and asking him to forgo that habit, is one way women can literally save a man's life.
Myth #9: Guys Don't Listen to Criticism
It's hard to argue that this one is a myth. But the reason men can be diva-like when it comes to criticism is because said criticism is rarely delivered in a way we understand. Women tend to talk around the problem, but it's okay to get in our faces every now and then and just say what's on your mind. Sometimes, the greatest act of love is taking someone seriously enough to risk offending them. In a weird way, those tough conversations get at the truth and, in calling attention to our blind spots, are about helping us. It's when couples no longer think it's worth the trouble that they have to worry. So, next time, try some tough love: We can take it.
Myth #10: Boys and Girls Are So Different
Okay, so your son prefers horseplay and trucks, and your daughter likes dolls and playing dress-up. Who cares! The things that matter in life whether your kids are ethical; whether they are kind to others; how they achieve self-fulfillment are as important to recognize in adults as they are in children. Just as you wouldn't indulge your son's overconfidence because that seems male, don't allow your husband to get away with things that hurt your feelings because that's how guys are. The fact is, when it comes to men and women, our mythologies are and should be about living more authentic lives.
Thoughts anyone?

Sister for Sullivan Henry?
Hi all!
I've posted before (mostly about boy names) because I thought we had girl names figured out...but I'm starting to get cold feet about our choices.
We're playing on team green, so we have two boy names and two girl names selected at the moment.
The boy names are:
Calder Flynn
Rafferty James
The girl names we WERE going with are:
Violet Matilda
Maeva Dorothy (Dorothy is a family name, and we can't use Maeve because it sounds funny with our one-syllable last name, FYI)
Like I said, I'm starting to have some doubts. I love Violet, but it continues to climb the popularity lists...and I'm just not okay with that. Top 100 makes me nervous.
Maeva is mostly my DH's pick, and I like it, but I'm not over the moon for it.
I intensely dislike boy names on girls, and I'm more of a traditional spelling kind of girl.
Suggestions? Advice? Thanks in advance (very much)!!

Hallo @ all,
I bought a Dell Latitude D800...
The OEM card only supports 802.11 a and b standards.
But back to topic, i search a new one for it and doesn´t know which one exactly i should buy.
The new card should especially support the g and n standard.
For sure it should run under BackTrack without any problems and reservations...
The card also should run under WIN XP.
What are you thinking guys?
Nice weekend at all
Because of nobody answers me, I go on searching and find the right thread.
Here (URL: forums.remote-exploit.org/showthread.php?t=2191) are the answers for my questions...
If there will be new questions I will post it there.
Sorry for building a new thread.

Green Bay Golf Opens Season at Benbow Invitational
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's golf teams opened their seasons Monday and Tuesday, competing in the Benbow Invitational at the Jacksonville Beach Golf Course in Jacksonville, Fla. The Phoenix men tied for third while the Green Bay women finished in 14th place.
The balanced Green Bay men had an impressive 36-hole tournament, with four different golfers carding team-best rounds. In Monday's opening round, sophomore Sam Weber (Heartland, Wis.) fired an even-par round of 71 to lead the Phoenix to a team score of 297.
On Tuesday, juniors Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) and Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) and sophomore Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.) each shot rounds of 73 to lead the Phoenix to a team score of 292. Fuller and Ebert each concluded the two-day tournament in a tie for seventh (146=74-72).
Green Bay tied with Evansville for third place with a cumulative team score of 589 (+21), behind only IUPUI (757, +7) and Sam Houston State (558, +8). The 13-team field also included Horizon League schools Butler and Cleveland State, which finished in fifth and seventh respectively.
Senior Eleanor Yorobe (Bloomington, Minn.) used rounds of 87 and 86 to lead the Green Bay women's team in its season opener. Junior Christina De Boer (Onalaska, Wis.) matched her 86 in round two for a two-day total of 180. Senior Stephanie Fifield (Oconto Falls, Minn.) was a stroke back of De Boer with a two-day total of 181 (92-89).
Both teams will stay in Jacksonville to play in the Butler Invitational at Windsor Park Golf Course on March 14-15.

text: Is it really a compliment to bestow the As he goes They go mantle on Charlie V as they did on last nights broadcast when they team was 16-32 with the 4th worst record in the L. Methinks things are going pretty poorly for #31. There was a great replay of CV's defensive philosophy when Kris Humphries got an offensive board and got stripped of the ball from behind by #31. With his feet firmly on the ground CV closed his eyes and swung his right arm as hard as he possibly could. He connected this time, but I don't see his foul trouble going away. That play where Harris and Hayes collided was as weird as any I've seen. Is there a better feeling than watching the 2 big free agent signings from last year leaving a close game with 7:30 and 5 minutes to go in the 4th? I totally thought of tanking when Tay came back into the game for Gordon in the 4th.

Lee Provoost's post, "Adopting Enterprise 2.0 in large organisations: Fiat or Ferrari?" talks about how people can start with smaller
cars like a Fiat and eventually upgrade if need be to a Ferrari, rather than
wait decades of riding public transportation until they save enough for their
top car. I don't see the entire negative with public transportation but when it
comes to social software, this ignores a large problem: migrating from one
social software system to another is a lot more complicated than just replacing
the tool itself.
Having seen first-hand several generations of social tools
in our company, and trying to get people to migrate from one existing
environment to a new one, it takes a bit of work to get people to switch to the
new system. A better analogy than cars may be "transportation networks". In the
US, think about asking people to stop driving and using trains instead.
First of all, change is hard: people become used to certain features and know how to work it quickly. Unless the new social tool has the exact same features handled exactly the same, it means new learning, often new terminology, and trial and error.
Social tools also don't always make it easy to migrate from one system to another. So you may also need to reenter your profile information, preferences, and generally reinstate what you may have already had before.
People place a lot of content and context into their social
environment, and unless that is all migrated with them too, they may see it as "loosing
their standing in that social environment." For some this is in the form of
rankings; for others useful or valuable content that they left behind. New
social environments don't need to start at zero but more often than not, they
are not fully compatible with the old ones or provide different tools and
require different fields; thus, migration is not a simple prospect of
Finally, a new system should probably not only perform better,
but all them to interact in better ways. This also means new features to ask
people to try out. The power of the new social tool may be in those new
features but in maintaining the status quo, many users will keep using what
they know, until enough people have adopted the new features.
These are just a few basic reasons in adoption that make it
difficult to simply "level up" to a new social system. If you run a social
software system in your enterprise, you should certainly not treat it like just buying a new car.

Occasionally, charities have a separate address for donations. This typically occurs with bigger charities with offices in different locations. In these cases, donation processing is often dealt with at a different office than their national office. This is the reason that there are two different addresses for Feeding America.

99 questions/31 to 41
From HaskellWiki
These are Haskell translations of Ninety Nine Lisp Problems.
If you want to work on one of these, put your name in the block so we know someone's working on it. Then, change n in your block to the appropriate problem number, and fill in the <Problem description>,<example in lisp>,<example in Haskell>,<solution in haskell> and <description of implementation> fields.
1 Arithmetic
2 Problem 31
Determine whether a given integer number is prime.
Example: * (is-prime 7) T Example in Haskell: P31> isPrime 7 True
isPrime :: Integral a => a -> Bool isPrime p = all (\n -> p `mod` n /= 0 ) $ takeWhile (\n -> n*n <= x) [2..]
Well, a natural number p is a prime number iff no natural number n with n >= 2 and n^2 <= p is a divisor of p. That's exactly what is implemented: we take the list of all integral numbers starting with 2 as long as their square is at most p and check that for all these n there is a remainder concerning the division of p by n.
3 Problem 32
(**) Determine the greatest common divisor of two positive integer numbers.
Use Euclid's algorithm.
Example: * (gcd 36 63) 9 Example in Haskell: [myGCD 36 63, myGCD (-3) (-6), myGCD (-3) 6] [9,3,3]
gcd' 0 y = y gcd' x y = gcd' (y `mod` x) x myGCD x y | x < 0 = myGCD (-x) y | y < 0 = myGCD x (-y) | y < x = gcd' y x | otherwise = gcd' x y
The Prelude includes a gcd function, so we have to choose another name for ours. The function gcd' is a straightforward implementation of Euler's algorithm, and myGCD is just a wrapper that makes sure the arguments are positive and in increasing order.
4 Problem 33
(*) Determine whether two positive integer numbers are coprime. Two numbers are coprime if their greatest common divisor equals 1.
* (coprime 35 64) T
Example in Haskell:
* coprime 35 64 True
coprime a b = gcd a b == 1
Here we use the prelude function for computing gcd's along with a test of the result's equality to one.
5 Problem 34
(**) Calculate Euler's totient function phi(m). Euler's so-called totient function phi(m) is defined as the number of positive integers r (1 <= r < m) that are coprime to m. Example: m = 10: r = 1,3,7,9; thus phi(m) = 4. Note the special case: phi(1) = 1.
Example: * (totient-phi 10) 4 Example in Haskell: * totient 10 4
totient 1 = 1 totient a = length $ filter (coprime a) [1..a-1] where coprime a b = gcd a b == 1
We take coprime from the previous exercise and give it to filter, which applies it to each element of a list from 1 to one less than the number, returning only those that are true. lenght tells us how many elements are in the resulting list, and thus how many elements are coprime to n
6 Problem 35
(**) Determine the prime factors of a given positive integer. Construct a flat list containing the prime factors in ascending order.
Example: * (prime-factors 315) (3 3 5 7) Example in Haskell: * primeFactors 315 [3, 3, 5, 7]
primeFactors :: Integer -> [Integer] primeFactors a = let (f, f1) = factorPairOf a f' = if prime f then [f] else primeFactors f f1' = if prime f1 then [f1] else primeFactors f1 in f' ++ f1' where factorPairOf a = let f = head $ factors a in (f, div a f) factors a = filter (isFactor a) [2..a-1] isFactor a b = rem a b == 0 prime a = (length $ factors a) == 0
Kind of ugly, but it works, though it may have bugs in corner cases. This uses the factor tree method of finding prime factors of a number. factorPairOf picks a factor and takes it and the factor you multiply it by and gives them to primeFactors. primeFactors checks to make sure the factors are prime. If not it prime factorizes them. In the end a list of prime factors is returned.
Another possibility is to observe that you need not enforce the fact that each division be by a prime:
primefactors n = primefactors' n 2 where primefactors' 1 _ = [] primefactors' n dividend = if n `mod` dividend == 0 then dividend : primefactors' (n `div` dividend) dividend else primefactors' n (dividend + 1)
Thus, we just loop through all possible factors and add them to the list if they divide the original number. As the primes get farther apart, though, this will do a lot of needless checks to see if composite numbers are prime factors.
7 Problem 36
(**) Determine the prime factors of a given positive integer.
Construct a list containing the prime factors and their multiplicity.
Example: * (prime-factors-mult 315) ((3 2) (5 1) (7 1)) Example in Haskell: *Main> prime_factors_mult 315 [(2 3), (1 5), (1 7)]
prime_factors_mult n = encode $ prime_factors_mult 2 n [] prime_factors i n xs = if i*i > n then n:xs else if i `divides` n then prime_factors i (n `div` i) (i:xs) else prime_factors (i+1) n xs divides a b = (b `div` a)*a == b
We iterate through all numbers up to the square-root of n, and add them to our list, if they divide n. The function 'encode' is the solution to problem 10. It takes a list of numbers, and compresses it to a list of numbers paired with their multiplicity.
8 Problem 37
<Problem description>
Example: <example in lisp> Example in Haskell: <example in Haskell>
<solution in haskell>
<description of implementation>
9 Problem 38
<Problem description>
Example: <example in lisp> Example in Haskell: <example in Haskell>
<solution in haskell>
<description of implementation>
10 Problem 39
A list of prime numbers.
Given a range of integers by its lower and upper limit, construct a list of all prime numbers in that range.
Example in Haskell: P29> primesR 10 20 [11,13,17,19]
Solution 1:
primesR :: Integral a => a -> a -> [a] primesR a b = filter isPrime [a..b]
If we are challenged to give all primes in the range between a and b we simply take all number from a up to b and filter the primes out.
Solution 2:
primes :: Integral a => [a] primes = let sieve (n:ns) = n:sieve [ m | m <- ns, m `mod` n /= 0 ] in sieve [2..] primesR :: Integral a => a -> a -> [a] primesR a b = takeWhile (<= b) $ dropWhile (< a) primes
11 Problem 40
<Problem description>
Example: <example in lisp> Example in Haskell: <example in Haskell>
<solution in haskell>
<description of implementation>
12 Problem 41
<Problem description>
Example: <example in lisp> Example in Haskell: <example in Haskell>
<solution in haskell>
<description of implementation>

Lisa Grill Dodson, MD, is the Campus Dean of the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW)-Central Wisconsin. Dr. Dodson will provide leadership and management of MCW's new campus in Central Wisconsin, which will welcome its first students in July 2016.
Dr. Dodson is the past Director of the Oregon Area Health Education Center, a position she has held since 2006. She was also Associate Professor of Family Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.
As Campus Dean of MCW-Central Wisconsin, Dr. Dodson is the primary liaison for health system and academic partners, which are the key elements of the immersive teaching model of the medical education program.
Academic partners include Northcentral Technical College, the University of Wisconsin-Marathon County, the University of Wisconsin - Marshfield/Wood County and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, which will provide teaching faculty, curriculum and student resources. MCW-Central Wisconsin's teaching facilities will be located at Aspirus Wausau Hospital and Northcentral Technical College.
Dr. Dodson also works with health system partners in the program to identify physician preceptors and clerkship directors, and to advocate for and support an increase in graduate medical education positions. Campus health system partners are Aspirus, Inc., Ministry Health Care, Riverview Hospital and the Tomah VA Medical Center.
Further, she collaborates with MCW-Central Wisconsin's Community Advisory Board with regard to the implementation of the community-based medical education program, monitoring of achievement of program goals, enhancement of program visibility and support, and development of community relationships and backing.
Dr. Dodson graduated from Lewis and Clark College in Oregon in 1981. She received her medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1988, followed by a residency and fellowship in family medicine at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
She practiced family medicine for seven years in the frontier community of John Day, Oregon, where she and her partners trained medical students and residents. Upon returning to the OHSU in 1999, Dr. Dodson became clerkship director for the Rural and Community Health Clerkship, during which she developed the Oregon Rural Scholars Program.
"Dr. Dodson is a tireless advocate for student education and for care to rural and other populations. She has demonstrated her commitment to creating and sustaining a healthcare workforce in rural and non-urban areas through excellence in teaching, mentoring students, leadership, and providing clinical opportunities for rural physicians," said Joseph E. Kerschner, Executive Vice President of MCW and Dean of the Medical School when Dr. Dodson was appointed as the Central Wisconsin Campus Dean. "She brings enthusiasm, a wealth of knowledge, community engagement and partnership building to the MCW-Central Wisconsin campus."
Dr. Dodson has relocated to Central Wisconsin from Lake Oswego, Oregon, with her husband, Peter, a recently retired high school math teacher. They have two adult sons, David and Jason, who reside in the Portland area.
The new medical school campuses in Central Wisconsin and in Green Bay address the need for providers in communities across Wisconsin and will employ an immersive teaching model in which students receive core basic science and clinical experience in the communities in which they learn. Students will be encouraged to practice in the communities in which they train.

The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.

Women's Basketball Looks to Even Season Series Against Milwaukee
By Rachel Buck (@GBRachel)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay women's basketball team will look to even the season series against Milwaukee as it travels to take on the Panthers on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. at the Klotsche Center.
Fans can listen live to the game for free via GreenBayPhoenix.com or on the Green Bay Phoenix App on IOS and Android devices. The game will be available online for free through the Horizon League Network, and live stats will also be provided through UWMPanthers.com.
Saturday's game also marks Milwaukee's annual "PINK OUT" game. The Panthers and Phoenix tip off at 2 p.m., but doors open at 1 p.m. for health fair booths, a 50/50 raffle and food from Qdoba. Wear PINK and get in for just $3 or pick up a commemorative pink t-shirt with a donation. The team will also be wearing special PINK jerseys that will be auctioned off after the contest.
In-state rivals Green Bay and Milwaukee will be meeting for the 76th time on Saturday. The Phoenix leads the all-time series, 57-17, despite dropping the first meeting this season. Green Bay has won the last seven meetings in Milwaukee, last losing during the 2005-06 campaign.
Milwaukee took the first meeting this season, earning a 75-64 triumph over the Phoenix on January 11 at the Kress Events Center. Entering halftime with a 37-28 lead, Green Bay couldn't contain a hot shooting Milwaukee squad as the Panthers opened the second stanza on a 14-3 run en route to topping the Phoenix. The loss halted a 17-game Phoenix winning streak against Milwaukee. Despite the loss sophomore Kaili Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) finished with a game- and career-high 25 points. Senior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) notched her fourth double-double of the season, registering 13 points and 10 rebounds.
After starting the conference season 1-2, Green Bay has rattled off six-consecutive wins to stand atop the Horizon League standings at 14-7 overall and 7-2 in league play. The Phoenix have four different players leading the top statistical categories, with Kaili Lukan leading in points (12.4), Ranger in rebounding (7.1), junior Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) in assists (4.4), freshman Tesha Buck (Red Wing, Minn.) in steals (1.8) and freshman Mariah Monke (Fergus Falls, Minn.) in blocks (0.7).
Milwaukee currently owns an overall record of 7-15 and a 3-6 mark in the Horizon League. After beating the Phoenix to open their conference slate, the Panthers have gone 2-6, including dropping its last two contests in Michigan. In its most recent game last Saturday Milwaukee fell to Detroit, 80-68. Leading 54-51 with just under 12 minutes remaining, Detroit went on to outscore the Panthers 29-14 to close the game and pick up its first conference win. Angela Rodriguez leads the team averaging 17.6 points, 5.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game while Ashley Green averages 14.1 points and Avyanna Young has 13.0 points per game and a team-leading 9.0 rebounds per game.
1. Stat Stuffers: Seeing diversity from its top players this season, Green Bay currently boasts two players that rank among the conference leaders in four statistical categories: points, rebounds, assists and steals. Junior Megan Lukan (9.5 pts., 5.4 reb., 4.4 ast., 1.5 stl.) and freshman Tesha Buck (9.9 pts., 5.4 reb., 4.0 ast., 1.8 stl.) join Wright State junior Kim Demmings and Oakland sophomore Elena Popkey as the only individuals ranked in each of the aforementioned categories.
2. Hot Hand: Freshman Mehryn Kraker proved to be the catalyst for the Green Bay offense over the past four games. Against Oakland on Jan. 30, Kraker led the Phoenix with 16 points before going on to record a career-high 30 points, nine rebounds and two steals versus Detroit on Feb. 1. The 30 point performance was the first for a Phoenix player since Julie Wojta did it during the 2011-12 season. In the last four contests, Kraker is averaging 18.3 points while shooting 65.8 percent (25-38) from the field and 60.7 percent (17-28) from deep.
3. Sharp Shooter: Serving as the senior leader for the Phoenix this season, Breannah Ranger has stepped up her play during the Horizon League season. In nine conference games Ranger is shooting 65.1 percent (41-63) from the field while averaging 10.8 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. She has shot over 50.0 percent in all but one of those games and recorded double-digit point efforts in six contests. Meanwhile, her 64.9 shooting percentage is tops among the Horizon League in conference-only competition and her 52.9 percent (91-172) shooting for the season is also tops.
4. Freshman Sensation: Freshman Tesha Buck is making quite an impact in her first season with the Phoenix. Buck is just the second true freshman to start for the Phoenix since 1998, joining Sarah Eichler (2009) on the list. Named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week on three occasions this season, Buck has already surpassed her predecessor's numbers from her freshman campaign in every category but steals, posting 207 points (186), 113 rebounds (88), 84 assists (47), eight blocks (2) and 38 steals (40).
5. Feed it in: Green Bay has been able to capitalize on offensive production in the paint this season, receiving 46.2 percent (668-1446) of its total points from the lane while outscoring its opponents in the category by a +278 point margin (668-390). Green Bay has received more paint points than its opposition in all but one game this season, a loss to South Dakota State (12/7). Senior Breannah Ranger leads all Phoenix with 182 points in the paint.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Prof. T. Soggmeyer
The next generation of fabbers.
Gotta start 'em early....
I've been doing a little suspension work on my '97 Dodge pick-up getting it ready for new paint and graphics in it's new role as a publicity vehicle for my upcoming RumbleFest hot rod and custom car show.
My buddy Tim has helped me a lot in the past but he's currently a guest of the county for several weeks because of a few driving infractions. Since one of his son's, Brian, really likes cars and often comes over to my shop with his dad, I kinda hired him on as a helper. He's 14.
During the past two weeks we've dropped the front end of the truck by cutting the coils, replaced the ball joints, modified the stock sway bar links to fit the new low stance, reset the rear end pinion angle and pretty much got the truck dialed in to it's new, lower stance.
He's been doing lots of metal prep, grinding, cleaning, using the blast cab, learning a little MIG welding and generally doing whatever I ask.
Here's a shot of him cleaning up a fresh cut I made after I removed part of the frame that formerly had the bump stops on it... and a few more of the truck.
Good kid... next we are going to revamp the stock rear suspension on my '56 f100 and install a pair of Chevy truck arms... hope he sticks with this stuff cause he has some natural fabricating talent....

Square Two?
Firstly, I just wanted to say thankyou for the lovely comments on yesterday's post. They have made me smile and cry in equal measure. You're all too kind. Truly.
Secondly, I feel I should clarify yesterday's post. I think it may have given the wrong impression, but I wanted to write it because I knew I hadn't been around much.
I know that I'm not as big as I used to be. Honestly I do. I know that the amount of weight I lost was a huge achievement and that I should be proud of myself. I also know that my weight shouldn't be the be all and end all of my happiness. And it isn't. Most of the time. Honestly, I thought I'd got to the point, back in January, when my weight was no longer an issue. For me or anyone else. I no longer felt like people saw me as "the fat girl." But I was wrong.
Wider issues that had lain dormant for a long while were triggered. And so on. And so on. Until a couple of weeks ago, when everything kind of imploded in on itself. Myself. When I'm feeling rubbish, my weight is the first thing to be affected. Because I eat rubbish. I wallow and I stop taking care of myself. I stop, shock horror, being hopelessly vain. I jest. I think.
As an example, I haven't enjoyed picking out clothes to wear for about five months. It's been a chore. I felt frumpy and fat in whatever I did choose, so I just stopped making the effort. I started wearing my glasses more. I started scraping my hair back into a ponytail. I started wearing whatever clothes made me feel least fat, whether they looked good or not.
For me, my weight and eating habits are an indication of my happiness. My increasing waistline has been a symptom of my decreasing joy and bombastic Helenism.
But there is light. This morning I woke up, put on a ridiculous pair of tights, donned a playsuit and heels and skipped off to work with a smile on my face. The playsuit is too short. It's too low cut for work. But for the first time in months, I feel like myself.
I've said that before, in hopes of forcing myself to feel like, well, myself. But this time I really do.

until you wrote these last two posts, i didn't even realise that i've been feeling the exact same way for a while now.
i struggle with my weight massively, and am currently in the throes of an epic battle with bulimia, but i think it all basically (for me personally) comes down to vanity - if i look good, i feel better. i just need to get out of the cycle of sitting around in glasses and pyjamas all day.
honest to god, you have just turned my entire day upside down. i could quite literally kiss you.

This post made me smile. It's nice to hear of someone getting up in the morning with a smile on their face after going through a hard time :)
Glad you're feeling better sweet.

I have tights envy! They are lovely. I have a purple zebra print pair that I put on when I'm trying to bring back *me*. I can identify with so much of what you've written in this post. When I'm feeling low I just want to disappear so I let myself gain weight, the way I dress changes and I even wear flats more - as a shorty this is unheard of when I'm myself.
I'm glad you're getting back to yourself. Fancy tights and playsuits make everything better!
As an aside, your 10 Commandments post is exactly what I needed to see today.
Oh and hello by the way, I think I have commented once before but a while back and then here I come and just waffle at you!
- 8 September 2011 at 20:29
You are fabulous, thin, fat, small, tall and I hope that you can see that sometime soon! As I said on twitter, you're still a whippet to me! Fair play for getting back on the band wagon. You will fly it xx

Oh, Helen. I've just read this post and your last one together and it really makes me sad that you've felt this awful. But well done for talking about it. I've gone through those miserable periods and shied away from talking about it on my blog, but we all have them. I think it's better to talk about it. I love that you've started to push yourself to feel more like you, and I really hope it works. We love our Helen and all her Helenishness.
By the way, I don't think I've ever said it before, but you write absolutely beautifully. I always love your posts, and not just for the pretty pictures. xx

What state are you in?
The internet is not a state. hehe
Which state is it the easiest to get suppressors in and how do you go about doing it in this state? Also, what is the procedure in other states where they are legal? Thanks guys.
What state are you in?
The internet is not a state. hehe
Regardless of state law and procedure, you have to buy a federal tax stamp for (I think) $200.00, and fill out some paperwork, in order to legally purchase (or otherwise transfer) a silencer.
Permittable Class III NFA items, additional fees, forms, mandatory education are dependent on your state laws.
oh man thats tough to get one. i was gonna get one in the states and smuggle it back here to canada but thats impossible now that i know what must be done. thanks for the info guys.
That's probably one of the reasons why they make it tough to get one.
That sounds like a pretty piss-poor idea...and might be a good way to get your colon checked at the border.
Actually it sounds like a pretty good idea, if it were easier to get them. I know people that have got tasers in no problem...
It was pretty simple and straight forward for me in Virginia.
1) I purchased surpressor-$300
2) I filled out ATF Form 4 and signed it.
3) Went to Sheriff's Office for fingerprinting-$10
4) Turned in Form 4 to Sheriff for his signature.
5) Received Form 4 one week later.
6) Mailed Form 4, fingerprints, 2 passport size photos, and $200 to ATF.
7) Received Form 4 back with Tax Stamp exactly 62 days later.
I expected to wait much longer. I have heard that they are getting much better at processing the applications. Just make sure you don't have a long and distinguished criminal record.
What the heck do you need a suppressor for? I can't think of a practical civilian use for one, other than killing rats in an urban neighborhood (so as not to disturb the neighbors with gunshot noise) or doing contract murders.
Having been part of the British Commonwealth, maybe Canada still allows unfettered use of suppressors just as The Mother Country does. (Great Britain permits suppressors, but forbids handguns. Go figure.)
A suppressor is just the very first part of the equation. Next, you have to buy, or make, a new, longer barrel for your semi-auto pistol (no, it won't work with a revolver), with threads at the muzzle to accept the suppressor. Then you have to hunt down low-velocity ammunition to use with it, because you don't want the "crack" of a supersonic bullet-flight.
Seems like a total pain in the a$$ to me, with a lot of risk and very little payoff.
Yea theres no way im doing it now that I know the process for america, but I thought that maybe it was as easy as going into a gun store being 18and and buying one. Clearly not!
Ah, well...there's no denying cool!
But wouldn't reflective sunglasses be cheaper?
I don't know why you'ed want to smuggle one into Canada anyways. You could just make one in your garage...
I imagine you could get one in Alaska no questions asked... I'm sure they'll sell you nuclear weapons if you really want LOL
Threads about illegal activity.


text: Eh, idk.. i mean there's no doubt in my mind that this team can move the ball down the field when we arn't shooting ourselves in the foot. Just seems to be far too many times where we kill our own drives with dumb penalties, turnovers, sloppy mistakes, etc.. Things that we blamed Wade's coaching for.. even though JG was running the offense then, too. I really do feel that we have the talent, just not the coaching or accountability to succeed.

Single action (SA) is like the old west Colt,you have to cock the hammer and have a light trigger pull.Double action (DA) is like Smith and Wesson in generic terms,a long heavy pull cocks the hammer and drops it and then you repeat it when you release the trigger.These also can be cocked like SA if they have an external hammer.
Autos are the same,but you have DA/SA.When you load it you can decock the hammer with a lever safely so your first shot is DA.When that fires the slide cycles and loads a new round but the hammer stays cocked every shot until it's empty or you stop and decock.There's also DA only (DAO).This is a serious subject on personal preference.I've run a SA since I touched handguns but I've used DA/SA far carry and did matches when I was big into it,diversity is important.
I prefer hammer guns personally.If you don't see a hammer it's a striker fired gun like the Glock.The firing pin (FP) is the striker,and when the slide is cycled to load or while shooting the FP is partially 'cocked'.When you pull the trigger it finishes cocking it and releases it to fire,kind of a 1/2 ___ DA.
You'll get a million resonses on triggers and hammers,when it really comes down to it it's what you like and master because there are advantages and drawbacks to them all.Look up Jerry Miculek and you'll see.

Camp Williams • Long after the governor, the top general in the National Guard and the Utah Guard's new leader had left the parade field, Maj. Gen. Brian Tarbet was sharing hugs and salutes with soldiers and their families.
Tarbet, 63, retired Saturday after 12 years as the adjutant general of the Utah National Guard, handing off the Guard's colors to Maj. Gen. Jefferson Burton, 53, before 7,000 soldiers, their families and dignitaries.
Before the change-of-command ceremony, Tarbet was surprised by the unveiling of a monument naming the Camp Williams parade field as Tarbet Field, a moment that triggered tears he fought to master throughout the morning.
"You can't talk about what these soldiers and airmen have done and not get that way," Tarbet said later. "It's an emotional thing."
The change-of-command ceremony made this year's Governor's Day a bigger affair than most, drawing more than 10,000 to Camp Williams in the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley. The day gives the governor a chance to review troops and lets the public see Guard aircraft and displays and enjoy a food court and climbing wall.
Donna Kunkel, of American Fork, wiped tears as she waited to give Tarbet, regarded as a soldier's soldier, a hug after the 90 minutes of speeches, ceremonies and parade of companies.
"I want to tell him how much he means to me," she said.
Tarbet had given her family personal attention in a painful time before her husband deployed with the Guard to Iraq, she said.
"My husband doesn't salute … commanders very often. He salutes this man," she said.
Gov. Gary Herbert said Tarbet, who joined the Guard 36 years ago, served with "humility, commitment and honor."
"He has commanded during one of the most, if not the most, tumultuous times in our National Guard history. Eleven years of war takes a toll on all of us," Herbert said.
Gen. Frank Glass, chief of the National Guard Bureau and just recently made a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tarbet is "one of the best the military has to offer."
In particular, he praised Tarbet, his "mentor and friend," for coordinating the work of 5,000 Guard troops from 26 states who came to keep the 2002 Olympics safe, all while the Utah troops were preparing for war. Tarbet, in turn, called Glass the "chief architect" of the Guard's service during the Games.
Tarbet was given a standing ovation after the field was named in his honor and again after remarks in which he poetically described today's Guard soldiers and airmen as successors of the Revolutionary War-era minutemen.
"You are patriots all, the finest of your generation."
"We have had losses and wounded," Tarbet said through tears. "We don't forget them and we don't ignore them."
Burton, he said, is the "right man at the right time," and "a wonderful warrior, a decent man and a great leader."
Burton, like the other speakers, praised families of soldiers who "just buck up and move out," like the soldiers and airmen they support.
The new adjutant general was on active duty in the Army from 1982 until 1991, when he joined the Utah National Guard. A longtime Payson resident, he commanded the 1457th Engineer Battalion's 450 soldiers as they deployed to Iraq in 2003. He has been the assistant adjutant general for five years, responsible for training and support of 5,600 soldiers.
Burton recalled those who have died and acknowledged that more soldiers and airmen have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan thanks to advanced trauma medicine, but with "ghastly wounds."
"I am also mindful of those with unseen wounds," he said. "I will stand with you and by you."
The Utah National Guard also got a new leader for its enlisted ranks. Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Miller replaced Command Sgt. Maj. Bruce D. Summers.
Some 650 members of the Utah National Guard remain deployed, most of them in Afghanistan. Small groups from the 19th Special Forces will return home in October and December, the 1st Battalion of the 211st Aviation is due home in January and the 624th Engineering Company is expected home in the spring, possibly in April.


text: The City of Garland plans to relocate its historic Santa Fe railcar Thursday, August 22 to its new home in the Walnut Pedestrian Corridor on the south side of Walnut St. at Sixth St. Garland's 1910 Pullman Car #582 is a unique historical asset, due to its combined wood and steel construction. The move is scheduled to begin mid to late morning Thursday. It's expected to take four hours to relocate the historic car from its current location behind City Hall. During the move, Fifth St. will be closed to through traffic between Walnut Street and the north entrance of the Fifth St. parking garage. In response to the public's interest in observing the move, a staging area along the move route has been established. All observers, including news media, are expected to stay behind the fencing and barricades, to avoid interfering with the moving company's efforts to relocate the railcar. Thursday's scheduled move is subject to change due to weather or other project plan changes. After the railcar is relocated, moving plans for the Landmark Museum Depot will be announced.

Video Made The Radio Star
Probably as a result of sitting on the couch at age twelve or so for HOURS soaking in music videos from MTV and VH1, music and video will forever be tied together for me. From a quick glance across the landscape of new music promotional materials, I know that I am not alone in this connection. Classicalmusicvideos (I'm inventing a German word for them) are more and more common, and they're getting really, really good!
This week's Q2 Music Album of the Week is Michael Mizrahi's The Bright Motion. In advance of its release, Michael made available online a brief video of the first movement of the title track. I love this video!
This week on my show, we'll look at pieces that have either been adapted visually (like the Mark Dancigers above) or incorporate a visual element in performance. With MTV being pretty much devoted to shows about alcoholic pregnant teenagers, it seems like the internet is the home for the marriage of audio and video. Do you think internet-only videos like these make the music more engaging? Are these videos gimmicky? I'm including many recent favorites in this post, but share your own in the comments!


text: Or did it get a rise out of you? Do you think the memorial fund donation will be on the "rise"? Me, I decided to skip it. If it's shown again in my town in March I'll probably do it. BUt I'd like to hear what people think of the show.

As the old saying goes, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
So it shouldn't come as any surprise that he'd keep up with the times and occasionally work through Facebook as well.
That's the gist of what can only be called the truly miraculous story of David Ensley of Stallings, N.C., and Amy Cunningham of Indian Land.
As Lancaster County Council convenes for its first meeting of the month, dangerous animals and landfills are once again on the agenda, though absent is any planned discussion about amending the county's newly-approved budget.
It all started in church, where she used to play the piano before services began.
Debbie Jaillette, who wasn't even a teenager then, held on tightly to music through the years and used it as a gateway to discover the other arts.
Now equipped with much arts exposure and many years as a working professional, the Lancaster County native feels as if she is primed for her most recent position.
Jaillette is the new executive director of the Lancaster County Council of the Arts. Her first official day was July 1.
A Lancaster teen who was wanted by deputies in two counties is now serving a nearly two-year sentence in state prison.
The Lancaster News learned Friday that Donnie Lee Laney, 19, 943 15th St., remains at Kirkland Correctional Institution. The Columbia facility is one of several institutions that are part of the S.C. Department of Corrections.
Laney was arrested in Chesterfield County after authorities there said he made several false calls to 911 on June 3.
Police arrested a woman only hours after she threw a drink at a convenience store clerk last week.
Elizabeth Marie Baxter, 40, 4880 Feed Lot Road, Catawba, N.C., was picked up by Lancaster police officers after the clerk reported the assault July 1.
Officers responded to Midway Grocery, located at 426 W. Meeting St., at 5:50 p.m. and spoke with the clerk who said she had just been assaulted by a customer, according to a police department incident report.
The Lancaster County Forfeit Land Commission has set dates for closing on the purchase of Indian Land's Edenmoor residential development.
The announcement came Wednesday during a motion following a closed-door briefing for FLC members by representatives of Eden Ventures, the development company working to buy the troubled residential development.
Employees at two local businesses were shocked when they arrived to open their doors last week.
It was a little after 7 a.m. June 30 when the first call came in to the Lancaster Police Department. A employee with Walgreens drug store, located at 1101 S.C. 9 Bypass, called police after noticing that someone spray painted the outside of the store.
Officers met with the woman who said the paint was not there when the last employee left the previous night at 11:30 p.m.
An Indian Land woman was arrested over the July 4th weekend after she allegedly went to a home where her daughter was sleeping over with a friend and assaulted both her daughter and the friend's father.
Gladys Moss, 40, of Pleasant Valley Drive, was charged with two counts of misdemeanor third-degree assault and battery.

KERSHAW – Kershaw Town Councilman Wade Hunter speaks optimistically about the anticipated economic impact of Haile Gold Mine Inc., although recent news may lead other people to feel differently.
Romarco Minerals Inc., the parent company of Haile Gold Mine Inc., received news last week that its plans to operate a mine just outside the Kershaw town limits will be put on hold for at least a year.
Christopher Sardelli
It's only been a few days since Rock Hill teen Kenneth Steele Jr. died after a car crash along S.C. 5, but his former math teacher, Portia Stokes, said his memory will live on.
Stokes, who taught statistics to Steele last semester at Rock Hill's South Pointe High School, will always remember Steele's cheerful attitude.

Penske hires Allmendinger for 2 IndyCar races
NASCAR driver AJ Allmendinger will compete in two IndyCar races this season including May's Indianapolis 500 with Roger Penske's team.
Allmendinger will drive the No. 2 car, which will be sponsored by IZOD, at Indy and April 7 at Birmingham, Ala. A news conference is scheduled for Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The 31-year-old Allmendinger drove the first 17 races for Penske's Cup team last season before being suspended for violating the series' substance-abuse policy. He was reinstated following after completing NASCAR's Road to Recovery program.
Allmendinger has strong ties to open-wheel racing. He won five times in 2006 in the now defunct Champ Car circuit and had 14 podium finishes in three years before moving to NASCAR.

Permission Fix Script
[ by Anton Kulchitsky ]
Suppose you work in a team on the same project. You all need access to some common directory with your files and data. The directory structure can be pretty complex, such as that we have for the Alaska Smoke Distribution project. You all need to make changes into the directory. Can you manage the files and configure the user accounts such that:
- Every user from the group can change and add files to the shared directory;
- The configuration doesn't affect files in any other directories the user has access to;
- Safe practice and all system security policies are followed.
Actually, working in a team can be a permissions nightmare. It is evident that everybody in a team should be a member of one group. Let us name it OUR_TEAM_GROUP.
We can't expect that this group is primary for every group member. Thus, new files or directories will belong to users' primary groups, not to OUR_TEAM_GROUP.
It seems that this particular problem can be easily fixed. Indeed, let us change all group ownership for every file and directory to OUR_TEAM_GROUP and set SGID for every subdirectory.
The SGID bit for a directory DIR can be set by this command:
chmod g+s DIRIf it is set, every new file or directory created in DIR will belong to the same group as DIR. (Be careful that you only set the SGID bit on directories, not files! Otherwise, it's a security violation.)
Does this solve the problem? New files and directories created there will indeed belong to the group, OUR_TEAM_GROUP. However, if you move something to DIR it /will not/ belong to OUR_TEAM_GROUP in general because the Unix "mv" command preserves ownership. You will need to use cp/rm instead.
Unfortunately, there are other problems, even if you consistently avoid "mv." Another problem is maintaining the desired group permissions. You need every new file to have the same permissions for the group as for yourself. However, by default, your umask is defined as 077 which means files when created are not visible, executable, readable, or writable for either your group or others. There is a good reason for that. A umask change would affect every new file/directory you created even if they are in your HOME or WORKDIR directories, and not in the shared directory. Changing your umask to 007 will violate the second condition we mentioned at the beginning and it may potentially be a security issue.
Thus, you need to change permissions explicitly every time you create or copy new files or directories. Our experience shows that it is easier to forget some files than to remember all of them. Even the easy solution of running "chmod" recursively on all the files, whether they need it or not, is usually forgotten. As noted in the Quick-Tip of issue #147 (/arsc/support/news/t3enews/t3enews147/index.xml#qt), if you do perform such a "chmod" the best alternative is:
chmod -R g+rX *
(note the capital "X") which makes ALL files group readable and all files which started off as user executable, group executable as well.
We're getting close to a solution, but suppose there is some process (your model as an example) that is run in batch mode when you are not logged in. This program will output some information in new files. (Otherwise, there is usually no reason to run it.) You will not be able to fix the permissions of those files unless you log in again.
You may see that this is a real nightmare. Some day you will find a lot of e-mails from your group mates all complaining that you forgot to fix permissions. You may find yourself sending similar e-mails. Do you think this is good team work? Maybe yes. However, it is challenging.
*What to do then?*
I can see 3 possible approaches to this problem.
The first solution is not really viable, because it's a violation of security policies at ARSC and hopefully every other computer center, and that's to have a shared user account for the group members.
A second approach is to have a copy of common directories for each user. Each user would work only in their working copies pretty much like in a centralized version control systems. Then they would synchronize with their common centralized directory. This not easy to do and hard to imagine that even a distributed version control system could help because you need to synchronize not only programs but also binaries and possibly huge program outputs. It is possible, however, that such systems already exists somewhere.
The third solution is a bit too simple for the problem but can tremendously improve things. This is a script that automatically does the following:
- Sets group permissions on files/directories to match the user permissions.
- Sets the SGID bit for all directories (so any new files will belong to the same group), it also will drop SUID for directories if there are any set, because this would be a security violation.
- Drops any files which are SGID/SUID because this would also be a security violation.
- Change group ownership on files to the common group
This script should be called from inside scripts like .bash_logout (for bash, for other shell see documentation) that are executed every time users logout. It also should be run after every program that generates files, automatically if necessary, for example call it at the end of your PBS script. In this case all permissions will be set up properly almost all the time.
This is the solution we use, and our experience shows that this solves most permissions problems without much effort or disturbing our work in HOME, WORKDIR, and other groups.
Please, feel free to download our script, and modify it for your own use: http://www.arsc.edu/~kulchits/scripts/pfix.py. It does more than described above. Please, if you run it, first use the -h option to see different options you can use.
Also, I'd like to hear how other groups have solved these problems.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A:[[ I have a python script that I run on a few different machines. [[ On one machine python is in /usr/local/bin, on a different machine [[ it's located in /usr/bin. So I end up with two versions of the [[ script. One that starts with: [[ [[ #!/usr/local/bin/python [[ [[ and another that starts with [[ [[ #!/usr/bin/python [[ [[ Every time I switch between machines I mess up at least one run [[ because I forget to the change the "#!" path. Is there a way I can [[ avoid having to make this change? # # Thanks to Chris Swingley, Lorin Hochstein, Martin Luthi, Kevin Thomas, # Rich Griswold, and Nathan Prewitt, all of whom replied with the # /usr/bin/env command. Here are two of the replies: # # # Chris Swingley # I start all my Python scripts with: #! /usr/bin/env python That way, the system looks for python and runs the script in the python "environment", wherever it might be found. 'env' is likely to be in /usr/bin on any Unix system. # # Sean Ziegeler # Use: #!/usr/bin/env python but that isn't magic. It can only run python if it is in the PATH environment variable. On most systems /usr/bin & /usr/local/bin are in PATH, but if not, you can configure your .login/.profile/etc. files to make sure they are. # # Ryan Czerwiec provides another alternative... # This is a bit brute force, but it's the type of solution I usually use for such a problem. Cut the #! line from the beginning of your script. Then create an alias that looks something like this: alias runpythonscript 'echo \#\!`which python` > pythonscripttemp ; cat ~/pythonscript >>! pythonscripttemp ; chmod u+x pythonscripttemp ; ./pythonscripttemp ; \rm pythonscripttemp' Q: I have a code written in C++ and would like to append a floating point value to the end of a string. It's pretty easy to do this in C using with a character array, e.g.: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main() { char buf[1024]; float v=1.23; sprintf(buf,"Val= %.2f\n", v); printf("%s", buf); } But, as I said, I need to do this in C++. Is there some slick C++ way to do this? The following doesn't work! #include <string> #include <iostream> int main() { std::string buf; float val=1.23; buf="Val= " + val; std::cout << buf << std::endl; }

When I was in a mostly-lesbian social circle in college, I claimed the label of ally to support my friends.* The term ally was fashionable - enough to be honored in the already-problematic acronym LBGTQ in most of our GSA's publications. But one day, I began to wonder why the experiences of a heterosexual cis woman with a heterosexual cis boyfriend should be included in that acronym. Why should this conversation be about me, too?
My privilege socially elevates me above my peers, and the term ally centers and dismisses that privilege. If I claim the term, I'm saying that my privilege is no big deal, I'm in it to win it too! But I'm not in it to win it the way my trans, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and queer friends are. I've already won it. In the context of a conversation that should center oppressed folks, the very privilege that oppresses my friends is not just neutralized but beneficed with a special title.
While I'm not going to claim the term ally, I'm also not going to reject it. If an individual without cis or het privilege wants to apply that term to me, then that makes me happy. If they want to call me a bad ally to imply that I mean well but fuck up regularly, I'm not going to police their language with regard to harm on my part. My whole point is that it's not my language to decide. The language that folks without privilege use in discussing their lack of privilege and others' use of privilege is theirs to determine.
Are there cases where I see it as appropriate? Sure. My standards with regard to language are not universal, and I'm not saying you can't call yourself an ally. After all, it's not my word to apply or not apply to anyone. It can still be provocative in some contexts, and everyone has their own comfort level with regard to language. And I definitely think that people of privilege who are intimately impacted by lack of privilege – cis people in het relationships with trans partners, het cis children of non-het or non-cis parents – have enough of a stake to claim a special term. They are doing the daily, IRL work that I am not. I write or think about it on a daily basis – but I don't have to.
Ally is not my word to apply – I can't say that I am a good ally because I don't feel the effects of my own actions. If I fuck up and don't realize it and keep on calling myself a good ally, it's another assertion of privilege. It's saying that I am the one who gets to pat myself on the back, I am the arbitrator of effective support. And I'm not.
However, not claiming the word is also a bit of a privileged move on my part. It's washing myself of the hurt and the harm of other well-meaning people of privilege. "Ally" carries weight that I need to recognize and remember – that I'm constantly able to fuck up and weaponize my privilege.
Working to support folks who are oppressed is not something that I see as enough to earn a trip to the cookie jar. I don't get a special title – this isn't feudal England, I'm not "The Goode Ally RMJ". I'm just a cis, heterosexual, white woman who's trying to be a good person, who's not trying to fuck up – but who still has privilege that can't be neutralized.
*Ally is used in other contexts, but since my experience with the term has mainly been in discussion about cis/het privilege, that's how I'm framing this discussion.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Great insight Hunter - thank you.
With this being a young dog, I expected her to have more of a reaction with the sleeve present but she showed excellent decision making and control of herself. I was very happy with her response.
That is exactly what I would expect to happen. If a dog gets loose and charges me I act like there is no dog and continue doing whatever it is I'm doing (depending on the dog).
Dark, guy walking around, so she was wary. When she approached and he had the equipment, she was probably a bit confused as to if this was training or if this was a stranger, or if this was something she'd never experienced before. The smell of the equipment but lack of response of the helper didn't fit into what she expected to happen, which is why she stalled and sniffed... she had to reassess what was happening.
The TD dropped the sleeve to show her they weren't training, or that she was wrong, or that he didn't intend on giving her a bite. When dogs get dirty on me in the blind, or blow off their handler, or get lose and get to me while I'm gathering my equipment or discussing what I want to do, I step out and drop the sleeve and walk away from it. A sleeve on the ground is pretty boring when you were hoping for to bite a sleeve on a helper.
FYI, hidden sleeves only fool the dog the first time or so. They learn every quickly that there is a sleeve under there somewhere.

If this would have happened with Karlo at her age, he would have gone right into a hold & bark, and when the sleeve was put in a neutral position, I would hope he'd deactivate...but immaturity doesn't always bode well!
When she returned to you, did you reward her?
Yes, I rewarded her big time!
I thought for sure she would of did her H&B but nope, intently sniffing, staring at him and then decided he wasn't a threat and returned to me.

You of all people KNOW Zefra and for her name and 'self control' to go into the same sentence... well... I think someone is growing up!

I agree with the Onyx Girl... I am new to this formal training, but do have 10 years with two GSDs. It all seems OK to me. I would innocently interpret this to be an extended training sort of behavior... He was leaving with the sleeve. She thought She was doing her job.
I am just testing myself, see if I interpret this right... Regards, lone Ranger

|You gotta give the girl credit for self control. He was holding the sleeve, and she just ran to him and gave him focus. No threat behind her actions, not even over excitement. More like she was trying to find out if anything fun was happening next.
Yeah, we usually follow with protection.
I was actually quite pleased with her reaction after my inadequacies as a handler to hold a stupid lead! Gesh!
She can be quite intense and sometimes doesn't think before she reacts so when I saw this reaction from her, I was happy that she had a clear head and realized he was no threat and retreated when asked.
she thought the next training phase was beginning. You normally do obedience before protection, right?
As long as he wasn't presenting a threat(moving his body or running) she should have just done exactly what she did, deferred to your command and leave the perceived threat.
Looking for some insight..
Last week at our training session Zefra did something that kind of surprised me. I would love some insight to this from the more experienced - I have my own thoughts but feel as though I will not be able to translate them here coherently so will reserve them for now.
So, there were two people on the field plus our training director who is also our helper/decoy working our dogs. Our TD was going from the other person and their dog to myself and Zefra.
We were both working the dogs with their balls and doing some heel work and basic positioning stuff. Just a easy warm up lesson really. It was dark outside besides the minimal lights from the side of the field.
My TD wanted to show me something with Zefra as I was having a hard time grasping what he wanted me to do, so he took her ball and was playing around with her then brought her into position. She worked well for him and he also gave her a good correction for not getting into position correctly (if she is too drivy she has a tendency to "stop listening" and just throw behaviours at me until she gets it right - basically she stops listening to the command). She took the correction fine, got into basic position and they continued on for a few more seconds.
He did some line work for me and Zefra didn't even know he was there.
Okay, so.. here's the part where I start thinking.
When we were finished with obedience we decided to leave for the night since it was so dark. He had his bag, scratch pants, sleeve all sitting on this incline.
Zefra perked up the moment he went for the bag and to move the sleeve. She didn't bark but she did get quite intense.
I made her platz as we (the TD and myself) chatted about making plans for the following week, etc. Zefra remained in her down and settled but was still watchful.
As I turned around to leave I accidentally dropped her lead (yes, I know!) and she ran at our helper who now had the sleeve in his hands along with his bag. She RAN at him, stopped dead in her tracks, looked at him, sniffed him intently. He stopped moving, got real still and dropped the sleeve. He then said in a normal voice, "what?".
At this point I had called to her to "heir" and she came right back to me (this all happened in a matter of seconds) but was super watchful of him. She didn't really pay attention to the sleeve at all during this. She is not really a equipment type dog. She worked hidden equipment before (two sessions) with no issue.
Just curious as to her reaction - what your taken on it is? I think I know, but want to ensure my thoughts are correct.

"These are better than expected. I didn't want to spend a lot and therefore went with a postcard and they are really cute. Nice paper quality. Very pleased. I always turn to Tiny Prints for my printing needs and am never disappointed."
"We recently ordered this card and loved the beautiful colors and design. Trees and leaves are totally our style and since it's colorful you can use it any time of year (not just the Fall). We love the simple design of it too. The quality is amazing and we loved that we could personalize the entire thing!"
"Our card arrived on time and it looks very nice. The paper quality is good, the design too and we had to change our order and we received all the attention we needed."
"Love how these postcards turned out. Sending postcards with our new address and a quick message to our friends and family was nice. The best part: no envelopes!"
"Ordered 100 of these moving announcements in the navy color. We love them!! They are beautiful and elegant looking, unlike other moving announcements that I looked at. It is a postcard which we like. Highly recommend these."

I'm in the process of making a pair of hand stitched gloves for my mannequin. I always assumed that the patches on the gloves were white (then weathered), however, on close inspection of shots from Brak's CD my wife suggested that the patches were possibly the same material as the vest... tackle twill ...any info would be helpful.
I've attached a picture showing the vest material side-by-side with a glove. I've tried to show the vest material at the same zoom as the glove so you can see the weave.
