The Tama Speed Cobra's extreme velocity and serious power feels like nothing you've ever played before.
Speed Cobra's overwhelmingly fast action is a result of several newly developed mechanisms such as the Fastball Bearing and LiteSprocket. Plus, the Projector Beater gives your bass drum sound increased projection and richer resonance. The recessed footboard angle, combined with the newly developed Super Spring, allows you to play incredible dynamics and fluid speed without experiencing muscle strain. Speed Cobra's smooth and stable action is based on the Iron Cobra's prominent heritage and allows you to play every possible delicate nuance to create your own personal playing style.
Speed Cobra's extreme velocity and serious power feels like nothing you've ever played before.
Tama Speed Cobra Double Bass Pedal Features
Tama Speed Cobra Common Features with Iron Cobra
Cobra Coil
The Cobra Coil is a steel spring which assists in the return of the footboard to its original position, so the feel of Speed Cobra becomes even more unreal. Even better, the Cobra Coil can be adjusted to different positions, forward or backward, on the base plate.
Oiles Bearing Hinge
Offering even more durability than standard ball bearing, Oiles bearings also eliminate side-to-side motion and provide superior durability (which is why they're used in the aerospace industry). (Oiles bearings is a registered trademark of the Oiles Co., Ltd.)
Vari-Pitch Beater Holder
Vari-Pitch beater angle adjustments are completely independent of the footboard angle. The Speedo-Ring allows you to adjust the angle of the footboard link independently of the beater angle. And with the combination of the Speedo-Ring and the Vari-Pitch, you can achieve any kind of stroke and enjoy improved playability.
Par-Clamp II
The Para-Clamp keeps your pedal flat on the floor no matter what your bass drum angle. The Para-Clamp is tightened from the side so you never have to insert your finger under the footboard. And since you can clamp your pedal to hoops up to 14mm (9/16 inches) in thickness, Iron Cobra will fit just about any bass drum in the market.
Tama eliminated another source of friction by replacing the traditional nylon rocker cam with the Speedo-Ring, a rocker cam with a high quality built-in ball bearing rocker. The Quick-Hook not only allows for easy set up and tear down but provides a compact pedal that you can place in the hard case without taking off the beater.
Spring Tight
Twisting springs severely reduce pedal smoothness. Spring Tight, a clever half-moon shaped spring tension rod, keeps the spring from twisting, so there's never any loss of power transmission.

Breastfeeding ready
I was frustrated that I did not get to breastfeed my daughter even for 6 months. When I was still pregnant, I concentrated more on keeping her inside of me ( I had placenta previa totallis and gestational diabetes) that I completely forgotten about what I'll do when the baby arrives.
How do you prepare yourself for breastfeeding? Are there necessary aids in breastfeeding that a first-time mum need to have?
I want to properly educate and equip myself, hubby and I are contemplating about having our next baby this year or early next year.

Dear Rose,
I'm sorry to hear you had problems breastfeeding your daughter. I can completely understand your concerns during pregnancy - you should not feel guilty that you didn't feel prepared for breastfeeding. In fact, I think it is difficult to prepare for breastfeeding when you have never experienced it before. For me, I thought it would be something that would come naturally but this unfortunately wasn't the case as my baby had a tongue tie.
I would recommend finding your nearest Lactation Consultant and making contact with them before the next baby arrives. It was only with the professional help of a Lactation Consultant that I managed to successfully breastfeed my baby. Knowing that you can contact such a professional is so helpful (especially if you are struggling to feed in the middle of the night).
Keep asking for help and advice (for example, from your midwives or local breastfeeding support group). These people are there to help you and you shouldn't worry about needing lots of help. After all, breastfeeding is a new skill for mum and baby to learn and it takes time. There are also some breastfeeding articles here which you may find helpful. Of course, this forum also exists to help support breastfeeding mums so you can ask away here once the time comes.
There is a recent thread here about breastfeeding equipment that mums have found helpful. I found a breastfeeding pillow particularly helpful to get a good position to enable my son to latch on.
I think it's great that you are already thinking about how to prepare for breastfeeding. Please let us know if we can help support you further.
Best wishes,

Thank you for the response LJ! I also thought that it would come naturally for me and my daughter, that all I have to do is give her the breast and she will latch easily. But after hours of crying (both of us!) I just gave up. I will surely talk with a Lactation Consultant the next time around, I also have an inverted nipple that made it harder for may baby to latch on. And since my baby was not breastfed, it made me a little insecure when I'm with my other friends who are exclusively breastfeeding their babies.
A friend of mine told me something about re-lactation. But it was too late for us to try it then because my daughter was already 8 months when I learned about it.
I would definitely need lots of advice and support, I'm glad to have come across this forum.

Dear Rose,
You're very welcome! There's also a recent thread here about methods to help with breastfeeding when you have flat or inverted nipples which you may find useful.

7 Signs That You've Found the Right Mate
Will it be delight or doom for your marriage or relationship?
-PJ Gach
After wading through years of dating, you've finally found the right one (you think). You feel kind of like you've survived the dating wars: Peace is at hand with someone you adore … and who adores you. How do you know that your relationship can go the distance? Will it turn into a marriage? Do you even want it to?
"America's Marriage Doctor" Jacqueline Del Rosario has a checklist, if you will, of 7 signs that you can use to analyze your relationship and figure out if it's got the possibility of being long term or not.
Here's her list:
1. You are like-minded.
While you don't have to be exactly the same (let's face it, that would be boring), you do need to have congruent core morals and values. These shape expectations and direction and are essential ingredients of a resilient marriage. After all, how can two people travel together, and enjoy the journey, unless they are heading in the same direction and agree on how they will get there? Are you on the same pathway in terms of wants, needs and desires or are you headed down opposite roads?
2. Your temperament balances one another.
One of you may be an extravert, and the other an introvert. One person is a Type A and the other is more passive. While these glaring differences may lead to conflict at times, these opposing temperaments often bring balance. If you are the Yin to your mate's Yang or vice versa, you will better your chances of achieving a harmonious relationship. But, bear in mind these differing character traits should serve to create a well-rounded whole relationship. Beware if your respective tendencies are just too different to ever make the puzzle pieces fit.
3. You are both committed to do the work.
The Beatles got it wrong–love is NOT all you need. Effort and work is necessary to cultivate a strong and satisfying relationship for the long-term. Rewards rarely come by just "phoning it in"; rather, dividends are realized when you work hard at something with forethought, intention and resolve. With respect to relationships, committing to always fine-tuning and bettering it is the glue that holds it all together. If your partner is not engaged in making the effort now, it is unlikely to change once you are married. In fact, the lack of effort and engagement could get even worse as complacency sets in.
4. You are able to speak your partner's "love language."
When two people with different dialects try to communicate, it is often confusing, frustrating and downright futile. Neither person understands what the other is trying to say. The same holds true in a marriage where each partner has their own "love language." Those romantic, sexual, and emotional needs that make each individual feel fulfilled. Is your mate taking the time to learn and speak your love language, and are you interested in speaking theirs, or is such emotional gratification already being lost in translation?

5. You are able to work together to resolve problems.
This is when the rubber meets the road. Bottom line: you have to be able to work through conflict to find mutually felt resolution in a healthy and productive manner. Marital life is filled with bumps, twists, and turns, so having a partner that works well with you to work through conflict minimizes the stress on the relationship. This certainly doesn't mean you can or should enter marriage with the intent to change the other person, and don't change who YOU are simply to keep the peace. The key is to be true to yourself while learning when and how to compromise so that you can effectively work through problems without one or the other feeling resentful. If this isn't possible now, take pause.
6. You are attracted to them.
Do you remember that initial spark between the two of you? There is a special chemistry that is electrifying when there is a true physical attraction. As your relationship matures, daily life issues dominate your attention, and bodies age, this fundamental human attraction can keep those fires burning between the two of you – both physically and emotionally. Every fire will burn itself out if not fueled, so assess if the flames are being stoked now well before the wedding day.
7. You genuinely like who your partner is as a person.
A relationship must be based upon a solid friendship that can stand the test of time. You genuinely enjoy each other's company and prefer to spend time together rather than alone or with others. You should like the person as much as you love them. Respect, admiration and honor are enduring traits that remain even as passion ebbs and flows over time. Can you truly say that your mate is your best friend? Would your partner say that about you?
Dr. Del Rosario says, "This simple 7 item checklist can help you determine if your relationship has happy marriage potential for the long haul. Just like any other type of investment, it's always wise to conduct a SWOT analysis to identify intrinsic qualities (strengths and weaknesses) that may help or hinder your marital life as well as external issues (opportunities and threats) that may assist or adversely impact your happily ever after."

Entirely Pure is a local, Tempe based company that is dedicated to helping homeowners make their homes sustainable and energy efficient through an array of products and services, while minimizing the work and the worry that comes with securing financing for home improvements and with selecting the right upgrade products for the home.
Entirely Pure will conduct a home energy audit and then offer its clients the specific energy efficient upgrades that are catered to their home. Some of these products are a solar hot water heater, radiant barrier, window tinting, attic insulation, bottle-less water coolers, etc. The majority of Entirely Pure products come with rebates up to 30%, which are available to homeowners until the end of the year.
"We have a ton of different products and services and most of the products we offer have a rebate on them, the federal state and utility rebate," Mileka Bakhshai, director of marketing at Entirely Pure, says. "The rebates run out this year and we want homeowners to take advantage of them before they are not available anymore."
These services aren't just for older home owners. New houses are built quickly here in Arizona and with the haste of the build can come issues of secure sealing and energy efficiency.
"We try to educate our customers and we really want them to know that there are so many different items and not just one item will fix your house and make it energy efficient," Celeste Padilla, director of operations at Entirely Pure, says. "We'll go in and do a really thorough analysis and give them suggestions on simple things they can do themselves in addition to what we can provide for them."
The rebates available for sustainable home upgrades are expiring at the end of the year, so Entirely Pure wants current and future customers to be able to take advantage of these deals before time runs out.
Aside from the sustainable products and services offered to home owners, a new program of Energy Efficient Mortgages (EEM) is being offered through Entirely Pure to assist homeowners in acquiring these sustainable upgrades. The Energy Efficient Mortgages will help homeowners realize their dreams of having a sustainable home and save money on their utility bills.
The Entirely Pure Energy Efficient Mortgage
"This is an amazing opportunity for homeowners and home buyers who are looking to either qualify for a higher loan amount, lower their interest rate, reduce their monthly utility bills, increase the value of their home, all the while reducing their carbon footprint," Bakhshai says.
Padilla says the EEM program allows for flexibility for homeowners that cannot refinance or that don't qualify for modification because they don't want to damage their credit; while giving them the opportunity to take advantage of the historically low interest rate. The application processed is streamlined and with a credit requirement of 620 and no docs for the applicant.
"The Energy Efficient Mortgage is a newer program, this is something we started a few months back, we've been really implementing and creating a solid relationship with a few different lenders and making sure it's a good fit for not only us, but the customers," Padilla says. "We connect them with a mortgage lender and we are not exclusive, we work with several lenders … We will walk through the process with them, we provide the energy audit, and we provide energy efficient upgrades; we hold their hand through the entire process."
Taking advantage of the rebates available and the EEM program will not only allow home owners to upgrade their homes to a sustainable status and benefit the environment, but will also allow them to save money on monthly utility bills. This program isn't just for existing homeowners, but also new home buyers who are looking to stretch their debt to income qualifying ratio on the loan as well.
"This isn't the only program that we offer, for any reason, if a homeowner wasn't qualified for an energy efficient mortgage, financing, payments cash, there are many different options we can offer to someone who wants to do these upgrades and also want to take advantage of the lower interest rates," Padilla says.
With these loans a homeowner can:
1. Make an older, less efficient home more comfortable and affordable.
2. Qualify for a higher loan amount.
3. Stretch debt-to-income qualifying ratios on loans.
4. Save money every month on utility bills.
5. Increase the potential resale value of their home.
6. Sell their home more quickly by making it more affordable to people and attracting attention in a competitive market.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Though Ridge began as a Cabernet winery, by the mid-60s it had produced several Zinfandels including the Geyserville. In 1972, Lytton Springs joined the line-up and the two came to represent an important part of Ridge production. Known primarily for its red wines, Ridge has also made limited amounts of Chardonnay since 1962.
The Ridge approach is straightforward: find the most intense and flavorful grapes, guide the natural process, draw all the fruit's richness into the wine. Decisions on when to pick, when to press, when to rack, what varietals and what parcels to include and when to bottle, are based on taste. To retain the nuances that increase complexity, Ridge winemakers handle the grapes and wine as gently as possible. There are no recipes, only attention and sensitivity.

You can stop squinting at all the blurry camera phone pictures and cease swapping stories about what a carrier rep told you in confidence, for the Palm Treo 700p is finally here. And though the new Palm OS-based smart phone was announced for both Sprint and Verizon Wireless, Sprint is first out of the gate to offer the device, with availability expected at the end of May. So is it worth picking up? We think so. The changes aren't revolutionary, but as the successor to the Treo 650, the 700p brings some welcome improvements, such as EV-DO support and increased memory. Of course, it isn't perfect. There's still no integrated Wi-Fi, and Palm OS 6 has yet to see the light of day, but with solid performance and enhanced connectivity and multimedia capabilities, the Treo 700p is a winner. Sprint's pricing is set at $399.99 with a two-year contract or $549.99 with a one-year contract. We should also note that as of this writing, Sprint says it has no plans to offer a cameraless version of the 700p.
From a distance, the Palm Treo 700p looks identical to its Windows-based cousin, the Treo 700w. In fact, they share the same dimensions (4.4 by 2.3 by 0.9 inches; 6.4 ounces), the same silver and charcoal-gray color scheme, and the same integrated QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard is a slight improvement upon the one found on the Treo 650; Palm replaced the oval buttons with tactile, rectangular keys that are brightly backlit. The new buttons are more spacious as well, but since the layout overall is still a bit cramped, users with larger digits should give it a test-drive. That said, you can't beat the convenience of having a built-in keyboard for quickly firing off messages and notes, especially one that's integrated so well into the overall form factor. Like the other Treo models, the 700p feels good in the hand and is comfortable to hold up to the ear while in use, but we worry about the plastic battery cover on the back, which feels like it could easily crack if the Treo were to take a nasty tumble. To protect your investment, we recommend purchasing a protective case, since one isn't provided in the package.
Another incentive for getting a case is to prevent the gorgeous display from getting any scratches. As it is, the 2.5-inch, 65,536-color display has a tendency to hold smudges and fingerprints. But hands down, the Palm Treo 700p's display is sharper and more vibrant than the Treo 700w's, which has a 240x240-pixel resolution. You can change the color theme and the backlight time but not the font size.
Palm rearranged the navigation controls slightly from the Treo 650 and the Treo 700w. Immediately beneath the display, you'll now find the Talk and End keys instead of two customizable shortcut keys, while the quick-launch buttons for the phone, the calendar, messages, and the home page are below that, split into two groups by the five-way toggle. The layout is spacious enough, but we have to say that the 700w is easier to use with one hand. Yes, that's more of an operating-system issue than a difference in hardware, but it's worth noting just the same.
On the left spine, you have three unmarked buttons: the volume-up and -down keys and a customizable shortcut key (voice memo by default). The SD/MMC expansion slot is located on the top, along with the infrared port and a ringer/silent switch. When you slide the ringer switch to the sound-off position, the 700p automatically goes into vibrate mode, which is a new feature. Along the bottom edge, you'll find the multiconnector port found on all of Palm's recent PDAs and smart phones, as well as a 2.5mm headset jack. The camera lens is on the back, as well as a small self-portrait mirror and the speakerphone. We appreciate the fact that the battery is user-replaceable, and you can purchase an extra cell for $59.99 in case of emergencies. As far as included accessories, the list is pretty sparse. You get an AC adapter, a USB cable, a wired stereo headset, a desktop-synchronization CD, and reference material.
As the newest member of the already famous Treo family, the Palm Treo 700p has found a way to distinguish itself from its siblings in a couple of ways. First, it's the first Palm-based Treo to support 3G EV-DO networks so that you can enjoy broadbandlike speeds on your device--around 300Kbps to 600Kbps (see Performance for more). In other words, that means faster e-mail, messaging, and attachment downloads. In addition, the improved Blazer Web browser now includes a built-in streaming application so that you can enjoy music and video files in popular formats, such as MP3, WMA, WMV, and MPEG-4. Sprint also offers a couple of services to add to the 700p's multimedia experience. For TV junkies, you can check out Sprint TV, which brings popular channels, such as ABC News, Fox Sports, and the Weather Channel, to your phone. Meanwhile, if you want to read up on the latest news, sports, weather, stock quotes, and more, there is the On Demand feature, which instantly pulls all the current headlines for the user's region (based on zip code) from the Web and puts it into the palm of your hand. Both services are offered as part of the Sprint Power Vision pack, which ranges in price from $15 to $25 per month.
Yet another distinction is that the Palm Treo 700p is the first Treo to offer built-in dial-up networking capabilities (DUN). Yes, you can finally use this smart phone as a wireless modem right out of the box. What's more, you have the option of connecting via Bluetooth or USB. The latter, however, will require that you sign up for the Sprint Power Vision Modem Plan ($39.99 per month for 40MB; $49.99 per month for unlimited) in order for you to connect the 700p to your PC or your laptop. We like the fact that using the USB connection also charges the Treo--that way, you don't run out of juice in the interim.
The EV-DO support and DUN capabilities certainly soften the blow of no Wi-Fi, but we still wouldn't mind having that option. Other smart phones, such as the UTStarcom XV6700, have it, so why can't the Treo? Even worse, it won't support Palm's Wi-Fi card. The Treo 700p does have an infrared port and built-in Bluetooth 1.2--which gives you support for more accessories, including headsets, car kits, printers, and GPS receivers--and it can wirelessly synchronize with your Bluetooth-enabled laptop or computer.

Conservatives derided reports of "so-called" missing explosives as "false"
Leading up to the presidential election, conservatives in the media attempted to downplay and undermine an October 25 New York Times report [1] that hundreds of tons of high-powered explosives went missing from the Al Qaqaa military installation in Iraq after the U.S. invasion in 2003. But following President George W. Bush's November 2 reelection, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter, Wall Street Journal contributing editor Peggy Noonan, and author and FOX News Channel political analyst Dick Morris went even further, denying the truth of the Al Qaqaa news reports altogether.
Media Matters for America has previously documented [2] numerous reports setting out clear evidence that large quantities of the high-grade explosives HMX and RDX were present at Al Qaqaa when American forces arrived at the site in early April 2003 and were looted by Iraqis soon after. And a November 4 Los Angeles Times article, titled "Soldiers Describe Looting of Explosives, [3]" provides further evidence that Al Qaqaa was looted after American forces arrived at the site. Four soldiers from the 317th Support Center and the 258th Rear Area Operations Center told the Times that they witnessed the looting of explosives from Al Qaqaa by Iraqis over a period of several weeks from late April and early May and said that they were unable to prevent much of the looting because the Iraqis outnumbered the American forces at the site.
From Coulter's November 3 nationally syndicated column [4]:
The media campaigned heavily for Kerry with endless Abu Ghraib coverage, phony National Guard documents and, days before the election, false news reports that hundreds of tons of munitions had been looted in Iraq.
From Noonan's November 4 Wall Street Journal op-ed column [5]:
But I do think the biggest loser [in the November 2 election] was the mainstream media, the famous MSM, the initials that became popular in this election cycle. Every time the big networks and big broadsheet national newspapers tried to pull off a bit of pro-liberal mischief -- CBS and the fabricated Bush National Guard documents, the New York Times and bombgate, CBS's "60 Minutes" attempting to coordinate the breaking of bombgate on the Sunday before the election -- the yeomen of the blogosphere and AM radio and the Internet took them down.
From the November 4 edition [6] of Morris's weekly "The Political Life" column for The Hill:
Next to the forged documents that sent CBS on a jihad against Bush's National Guard service and the planned "60 Minutes" ambush over the so-called missing explosives two days before the polls opened, the possibility of biased exit polling, deliberately manipulated to try to chill the Bush turnout, must be seriously considered.

A study in the British Medical Journal found that exercise is superior to home hazard modifications and vision correction when it comes to reducing the number of at-home falls among the elderly.
Researchers at the Accident Research Center in Victoria, Australia, conducted the study among 442 people 70 years and older and living in their own home or apartment. The subjects were randomly assigned to receive at least one of three interventions: a weekly hour-long exercise class, supplemented with daily home exercises; home hazards modification done by the participants or the city's home maintenance program; or vision improvement treatment.
Some subjects received two interventions, one group received all three, and a control group had no interventions. In all, eight groups were studied over an 18-month period. All participants submitted a monthly postcard, on which they recorded their falls.
Exercise was the most effective
The study found that among individual interventions, exercise had the greatest impact on reducing falls. Patients who had their homes modified or their vision corrected had a minimal reduction in their annual fall rate of 3.1% and 4.4%, respectively, compared with the exercise group, which had a significant 6.9% reduction. The group who had all three interventions fared the best, with an estimated reduction in annual falls of 14%.
Exercise improves balance
Patients who took the exercise class were able to reduce their rate of falling primarily by improving their balance, the authors said. The other two interventions may have been less effective because they were not as intense as they needed to be.
The findings lend further support to the importance of exercise in helping elderly people maintain physical function. A study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine reported that inactive elderly adults showed improvement in physical function after taking an hour-long tai chi class twice a week for 6 months. The improvement was most pronounced among the previously least active participants.
According to the authors of the British Medical Journal study, this research together suggests that exercise programs involving balance improvement might benefit elderly people. More research on the cost effectiveness of such programs is needed to determine whether such programs are worthwhile in helping to prevent falls among the elderly.

LANDERS -- A man crashed his motorcycle after striking a 300-pound steer in the desert and had to be flown to a hospital using a U.S. Army helicopter Sunday evening.
San Bernardino County Fire and CHP responded to New Dixie Mine road and state highway 247 and met the riding partner of the victim who said his friend was up a trail between the highway and Big Bear.
Rescue crews used a 4 wheel drive pickup truck to drive 4 1/2 up the narrow sandy road, according to fire officials.
None of the fire department trucks could have made the difficult climb.
Once on scene they were able to treat the man and determined that he would need to be airlifted from the to a trauma center.
He had collided with range cattle while riding in the remote area, killing the steer and throwing him from his dirt bike.
San Bernardino County sheriff's helicopter was unable to transport him to the hospital due to his size, officials said.
Authorities requested the assistance of the U.S. Army at Ft. Irwin near Barstow.
After a short time the rescue helicopter arrived and landed near the crash site.
The victim was loaded into the helicopter and flown to a trauma center in Palm Springs where he was listed in critical but stable condition.

Raul from Puerto Rico asks:
This may sound ridiculous, but I'm still a novice when it comes to e-mail. For example, what are attachments?
Hey, Raul – it's not a ridiculous questions at all – hopefully this offers some insight.
An e-mail attachment is a file you include with an e-mail. For example, let's say you have a text document or picture you want to share with someone. You can "attach" this document to an e-mail and send it off to them.
How do you attach it? Usually via a little paper clip icon in your e-mail software. Just click it and you should get a dialog box that lets you navigate to, and attach, the file of your choice.
And no, it doesn't take the file off your computer, it only sends a copy of it.
A word of caution though. Keep an eye on the size of the file you're sending. Your recipient may not appreciate downloading a 200 megabyte file.

Galen Carpenter
(born Newton, KS 1946)
"I started turning these bowls just for therapy, for a diversion. People started offering me money for them. I found it hard to believe." Carpenter, quoted in Traditional Home Magazine, September 1993
Galen Carpenter grew up in a small town in Kansas where he worked as a printer, contractor, and furniture restorer. Working in the print shop taught him how to use color, and he often adds rich turquoise, coral, or ebony to his turned wooden pieces. He never took any formal art lessons, describing himself as "right off the turnip truck," and his turned, segmented vessels often incorporate unconventional materials and patterns.

Xmonad/Guided tour of the xmonad source
From HaskellWiki
1 Introduction
Do you know a little Haskell and want to see how it can profitably be applied in a real-world situation? Would you like to quickly get up to speed on the xmonad source code so you can contribute modules and patches? Do you aspire to be as cool of a hacker as the xmonad authors? If so, this might be for you. Specifically, this document aims to:
- Provide a readable overview of the xmonad source code for Haskell non-experts interested in contributing extensions or modifications to xmonad, or who are just curious.
- Highlight some of the uniquenesses of xmonad and the things that make functional languages in general, and Haskell in particular, so ideally suited to this domain.
This is not a Haskell tutorial. I assume that you already know some basic Haskell: defining functions and data; the type system; standard functions, types, and type classes from the Standard Prelude; and at least a basic familiarity with monads. With that said, however, I do take frequent detours to highlight and explain more advanced topics and features of Haskell as they arise.
2 First things first
You'll want to have your own version of the xmonad source code to refer to as you read through the guided tour. In particular, you'll want the latest darcs version, which you can easily download by issuing the command:
darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad
I intend for this guided tour to keep abreast of the latest darcs changes; if you see something which is out of sync, report it on the xmonad mailing list, or -- even better -- fix it!
You may also want to refer to the Haddock-generated documentation (it's all in the source code, of course, but may be nicer to read this way). You can build the documentation by going into the root of the xmonad source directory, and issuing the command:
runhaskell Setup haddock
which will generate HTML documentation in dist/doc/html/xmonad/.
Without further ado, let's begin!
3 StackSet.hs
StackSet.hs is the pure, functional heart of xmonad. Far removed from corrupting pollutants such as the IO monad and the X server, it is a beatiful, limpid pool of pure code which defines most of the basic data structures used to store the state of xmonad. It is heavily validated by QuickCheck tests; the combination of good use of types and QuickCheck validation means that we can be very confident of the correctness of the code in StackSet.hs.
3.1 StackSet
of xmonad's state. Let's take a look at the definition of the
data StackSet i l a sid sd = StackSet { current :: !(Screen i l a sid sd) -- ^ currently focused workspace , visible :: [Screen i l a sid sd] -- ^ non-focused workspaces, visible in xinerama , hidden :: [Workspace i l a] -- ^ workspaces not visible anywhere , floating :: M.Map a RationalRect -- ^ floating windows } deriving (Show, Read, Eq)
- The first type parameter, here represented by , is the type of workspace tags. Each workspace has a tag which uniquely identifies it (and which is shown in your status bar if you use the DynamicLog extension). At the moment, these tags are simplyis---but, as you can see, the definition ofStringdoesn't depend on knowing exactly what they are. If, in the future, the xmonad developers decided thatStackSets would make better workspace tags, no changes would be required to any of the code in StackSet.hs!Complex Double
- The second type parameter is somewhat mysterious---there isn't much code in StackSet.hs that does much of anything with it. For now, it's enough to know that the typelhas something to do with layouts;lis completely independent of particular window layouts, so there's not much to see here.StackSet
- The third type parameter, , is the type of a single window.a
- is a screen id, which identifies a physical screen; as we'll see later, it is (essentially)sid.Int
- , the last type parameter tosd, represents details about a physical screen.StackSet
Although it's helpful to know what these types represent, it'simportant to understand that as far as
with these types in particular ways, so it has no need to know the actual types.The
workspaces which are not focused but are still visible on otherphysical screens;
A few comments are in order:
- is only needed to support multiple physical screens with Xinerama; in a non-Xinerama setup,visiblewill always be the empty list.visible
- Notice that andcurrentstorevisibles, whereasScreenstoreshiddens. This might seem confusing until you realize that aWorkspaceis really just a glorifiedScreen, with a little extra information to keep track of which physical screen it is currently being displayed on:Workspace
data Screen i l a sid sd = Screen { workspace :: !(Workspace i l a) , screen :: !sid , screenDetail :: !sd } deriving (Show, Read, Eq)
- A note about those exclamation points, as in : they are strictness annotations which specify that the fields in question should never contain thunks (unevaluated expressions). This helps ensure that we don't get huge memory blowups with fields whose values aren't needed for a while and lazily accumulate large unevaluated expressions. Such fields could also potentially cause sudden slowdowns, freezing, etc. when their values are finally needed, so the strictness annotations also help ensure that xmonad runs smoothly by spreading out the work.workspace :: !(Workspace i l a)
- The field stores afloatingfrom windows (typeMap,remember?) toas, which simply store x position, y position, width, and height. Note that floating windows are still stored in aRationalRectin addition to being a key ofWorkspace, which means that floating/sinking a window is a simple matter of inserting/deleting it fromfloating, without having to mess with anyfloatingdata.Workspace
3.2 StackSet functions
StackSet.hs also provides a few functions for dealing directly with
new :: (Integral s) => l -> [i] -> [sd] -> StackSet i l a s sd new l wids m | not (null wids) && length m <= length wids = StackSet cur visi unseen M.empty where (seen,unseen) = L.splitAt (length m) $ map (\i -> Workspace i l Nothing) wids (cur:visi) = [ Screen i s sd | (i, s, sd) <- zip3 seen [0..] m ] -- now zip up visibles with their screen id new _ _ _ = abort "non-positive argument to StackSet.new"
but it isn't actually all that bad. In general, if you just take things slowly and break them down piece by piece, you'll probably be surprised how much you understand after all.
workspaces (depending on the number of physical screens), combiningthe
first screen to be current. If the conditions on the guard are not met, it aborts with an error. Since this function will only ever becalled internally, the call to
just so we can test to make sure it's never called! If this were a function which might be called by users from their xmonad.hs configuration file, aborting would be a huge no-no: by design, xmonad should never crash for any reason (even user stupidity!).Now take a look at
requested workspace so it is now on the current screen even if it wasalready visible, whereas calling
just switch the focus to whatever screen it happens to be on. For single-head setups, of course, there isn't any difference in behaviorbetween
return a new one computed from the old one. This is a common purely functional paradigm: functions which would modify a data structure in an imperative/non-pure paradigm are recast as functions which take an old version of a data structure as input and produce a new version. This might seem horribly inefficient to someone used to a non-pure paradigm, but it actually isn't, for (at least) two reasons. First, a lot of work has gone into memory allocation and garbage collection, so that in a modern functional language such as Haskell, these processes are quite efficient. Second, and more importantly, the fact that Haskell is pure (modifying values is not allowed) means that when a new structure is constructed out of an old one with only a small change, usually the new structure can actually share most of the old one, with new memory being allocated only for the part that changed. In an impure language, this kind of sharing would be a big no-no, since modifying the old value later would suddenly cause the new value to change as well.
3.3 Workspace
data Workspace i l a = Workspace { tag :: !i, layout :: l, stack :: Maybe (Stack a) } deriving (Show, Read, Eq)
data Workspace i l a = Workspace i l (Maybe (Stack a))
tag :: Workspace i l a -> i
Hence, we have two ways to get at the internals of any value whose type is defined using record syntax: pattern-matching, or accessor functions.
3.4 Stack
- Creating a new window or deleting the current one would be O(n) operations, as all the windows to the right of the current location would have to be shifted by one in the array.
- In Haskell, indexing into a list is O(n) anyway, and using an array library would be unwieldy here.
- Much work must go into maintaining guarantees such as always having the current index be a valid index into the array, maintaining the ordering of the windows when shifting them around in the array, and so on.
data Stack a = Stack { focus :: !a -- focused thing in this set , up :: [a] -- clowns to the left , down :: [a] } -- jokers to the right deriving (Show, Read, Eq)
- A cannot be empty, since it must always contain a current element. Remember, the possibility of an empty workspace is handled by the type ofStack a'sWorkspacefield,stack.Maybe (Stack a)
- Shifting focus, adding a new window next to the current one, and reversing the window list are all simple O(1) operations.
- There is not even the possibility of any sort of index-out-of-bounds errors while keeping track of the current window.
For more information on zippers, the Zipper page on the Haskell wiki and the chapter on zippers in the Haskell wikibook are good starting places.
3.5 Other functionsAt this point you should spend some time studying the rest of the functions in StackSet.hs, which provide various operations on
- The functions ,with, andmodifyare great examples of higher-order functions, functions which take other functions as input. Haskell (and most functional languages) make such a thing easy and natural. For example,modify'applies a function to the current workspace's stack;withessentially transforms a function onmodifys to a function onStacks, with someStackSettypes thrown in to handle empty cases.Maybe
- The names of the functions andintegratemay strike you as odd unless you know that there is an astonishing connection between derivatives (yes, from calculus) and zipper types. In short, finding the zipper of a given data type corresponds to finding a derivative. For more information, see the Haskell wikibook entry on zippers, or the paper by Conor McBride, The Derivative of a Regular Type is its Type of One-Hole Contexts.differentiate
- Note how the implementation of functions such as /focusUp,Down/swapUp, andDownare quite simple, thanks to higher-order functions and the zipper structure ofreverseStacks.Stack
- I sort of lied when I said that moving focus is O(1) with the zipper structure: in the one case that focus wraps around the end of the list, it is O(n). But it is still takes O(1) amortized time.
3.6 QuickCheck propertiesNow take a look at tests/Properties.hs, which contains a large collection of QuickCheck properties for testing StackSet.hs. Here's the way it works: a QuickCheck property is essentially a function of type
These tests are run automatically with every recorded change to the xmonad source repository -- indeed, they must all pass in order for a change to be recorded.
4 Core.hs
The next source file to examine is Core.hs. It defines several core data types and some of the core functionality of xmonad. If StackSet.hs is the heart of xmonad, Core.hs is its guts.
4.1 XState, XConf, and XConfig
These three record types make up the core of xmonad's state and configuration:
- A value of type stores xmonad's mutable runtime state, consisting of the list of workspaces, a set of mapped windows, something to do with keeping track of pending UnmapEvents, and something to do with dragging.XState
data XState = XState { windowset :: !WindowSet -- ^ workspace list , mapped :: !(S.Set Window) -- ^ the Set of mapped windows , waitingUnmap :: !(M.Map Window Int) -- ^ the number of expected UnmapEvents , dragging :: !(Maybe (Position -> Position -> X (), X ())) }
type WindowSet = StackSet WorkspaceId (Layout Window) Window ScreenId ScreenDetail type WindowSpace = Workspace WorkspaceId (Layout Window) Window -- | Virtual workspace indicies type WorkspaceId = String -- | Physical screen indicies newtype ScreenId = S Int deriving (Eq,Ord,Show,Read,Enum,Num,Integral,Real) -- | The 'Rectangle' with screen dimensions and the list of gaps data ScreenDetail = SD { screenRect :: !Rectangle , statusGap :: !(Int,Int,Int,Int) -- ^ width of status bar on the screen } deriving (Eq,Show, Read)
newtype ScreenId = S Int deriving (...)
- An record stores xmonad's (immutable) configuration data, such as window border colors, the keymap, information about the X11 display and root window, and other user-specified configuration information. The reason this record is separated fromXConfis that, as we'll see later, xmonad's code provides a static guarantee that the data stored in this record is truly read-only, and cannot be changed while xmonad is running.XState
- provides a way for the user to customize xmonad's configuration, by defining anXConfigrecord in theirXConfigfile. You're probably already familiar with this record type.xmonad.hs
4.2 The X monad
And now, what you've all been waiting for: the X monad!
newtype X a = X (ReaderT XConf (StateT XState IO) a) deriving (Functor, Monad, MonadIO, MonadState XState, MonadReader XConf)
For more information on monad transformers in general, I recommend reading Martin Grabmüller's excellent tutorial paper, Monad Transformers Step-by-Step; for more information on this particular style of composing monad transformers and using automatic newtype deriving, read Cale Gibbard's tutorial, How To Use Monad Transformers.Along with the X monad, several utility functions are provided, such as
4.3 ManageHook
This is a bit more advanced, and not really a central part of the system, so I'm skipping it for now, hopefully coming back to add more later.
4.4 LayoutClass
Next, let's take a look at the
- Note that all the functions provide default implementations, so thatLayoutClassinstances do not have to provide implementations of those functions where the default behavior is desired. For example, by default,LayoutClasssimply callsdoLayoutby default, so a layout that does not require access to the X monad need only implement thepureLayoutfunction. (For example, the Accordion, Square, and Grid layouts from the contrib library all use this approach.)pureLayout
- Layouts can have their own private state, by storing this state in the instance and returning a modified structue (viaLayoutClass) when the state changes.doLayout
- Both anddoLayouthave corresponding "pure" versions, which do not give results in the X monad. These functions are never called directly by the xmonad core, which only callshandleMessageanddoLayout, but a layout may choose to implement one (or both) of these "pure" functions, which will be called by the default implementation of the "impure" versions. Layouts which implementhandleMessageorpureLayoutare guaranteed to only make decisions about layout or messages (respectively) based on the internal layout state, and not on the state of the system or the window manager in general.pureMessage
-- | An existential type that can hold any object that is in Read and LayoutClass. data Layout a = forall l. (LayoutClass l a, Read (l a)) => Layout (l a)

KISS will levitate & perform with fire-shooting spider on summer tour
KISS has big plans for their upcoming tour. The band's blood-spitting bassist Gene Simmons told fans at the KISS Fan Expo in Indianapolis the group's new stage show features a giant spider that's "beyond anything" they've done before.
Simmons also says their set will feature a 70-foot video screen backdrop, that KISS will rise up and "levitate and go 30 rows into the audience," and they'll play some songs as well.
The rocker admits that their new stage production "costs a fortune," but they wanted to do something "spectacular" for the fans.
KISS will launch their 2013 Monster Tour in Stockholm on June 1st and play a series of Canadian dates in July. The band's U.S. run begins in Gilford, New Hampshire on August 7th.

New Beyonce album is fastest-selling in iTunes history!
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
The numbers keep getting bigger and bigger for Beyonce's latest self-titled, sneak-attack album.
According to "Billboard," the iTunes-exclusive album has now sold more than 828,000 copies worldwide within its first three days of release. The majority of those copies - 617,000 - came from U.S. sales alone. That number is breaking U.S. iTunes records, making "Beyonce" the fastest-selling album in its history.
The previous record was held by Taylor Swift's Red, which sold 465,000 copies on iTunes within its first full week out. Beyonce's album topped Taylor's with only three days under its belt.
"Billboard" adds that iTunes will remain the exclusive retailer for Beyonce's album until December 20th, when most stores are expected to receive the physical copies.
Given the unique, promotion-free rollout of the album, an official single has yet to be announced. Sources says the tracks "Blow," "Drunk in Love," featuring Jay-Z and "XO," are among the singles that will hit radio in the weeks and months to come.

I have the ISO's for BT4 R1, BT5 R1 & R2, My Belkin 54G Wireless adapter can scan with Airodump-ng and use everything else, but when I use BT5 R1 or R2, it shows up, and can be put into monitor mode, but when I scan with Airodump-ng, it doesn't list any networks at all.
While using BT4 R1, i can scan with airodump, capture Handshakes, but I can't use apt-get update to work, so I can't install reaver.
While using BT5 R1 or R2, i can get apt-get update to work and install Reaver, but scanning with airodump-ng gets not results, I'm guessing something to do with the drivers for my specific card have been updated with the newer releases and is causing this!
Does anyone have a fix for this, I can most of the basic stuff If I just use BT4, but for using the newer releases and tools, I need to be able to use BT5, but It doesn't seem to wanna use this adapter with the new release.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank You!

Which ever one you use depends upon if you have an S-ATA HDD or an ATA HDD. Also, use this for all mounts like sda1,sda4...etc. I also use this command when I connect an external HDD as well. But its labeled sdb1Code:mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2
I also created a folder for the mount in my /mnt directory called sda2 / hda2. Not sure if this is necessary or not...but I did it.

Twain will "live" in Brock's one-person show at 7 p.m. CT on
Tuesday, Nov. 15, in V. P. Henry Auditorium, 210 Lindsey Wilson
Street. The event -- which is part of the 2011-12 Lindsey Wilson
Cultural Affairs Series -- is free and open to the public.
"I'll be doing Twain as an old man, looking back on his famous
and varied life," Brock said.
Owing money to friends because of several bad investments, Twain
embarked on a series of lucrative lecture tours in his later years.
Brock said his Nov. 15 characterization of Twain will draw in part
on those lectures, along with Twain's writings about himself in
journals and published articles.
When Twain died in 1910, President William Howard Taft said of
the writer: "Mark Twain gave pleasure -- real intellectual
enjoyment -- to millions, and his works will continue to give such
pleasure to millions yet to come. … His humor was American, but he
was nearly as much appreciated by Englishmen and people of other
countries as by his own countrymen. He has made an enduring part of
American literature."
Brock said his goal is to bring some of that pleasure to modern
Lindsey Wilson College Assistant Professor of Theater Robert
Brock will give a one-person performance of Mark Twain at 7 p.m. CT

Donald Sterling Banned from NBA For Life
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was banned from the NBA for life on Tuesday afternoon.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver made the decision after Sterling's comments to his girlfriend regarding black people.
The NBA also has fined Sterling $2.5 million, which is the maximum allowed under the NBA Constitution. The money will go to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination.
It should be noted that the MLB banned New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner in 1990. That ban was lifted in 1993.
Silver told reporters that the process to force Sterling to sell the team begins immediately.

George W. Barrington was born in Otoe County, Nebraska in 1875. From very early on he lived an adventurous life. He traveled to Alaska during the height of the gold rush to prospect for gold in the Klondike and from there went on to Seattle, Washington where he joined the merchant marines. He sailed around the world three times and at the beginning of the Spanish-American War he volunteered for military service which took him to the Philippines. He also traveled to Peking, China during the Boxer Rebellion as a member of the International Expedition. He would return to the states and the west coast where he worked odd jobs until he landed a job as a newspaper reporter in Omaha, Nebraska. He also traveled with Theodore Roosevelt in 1904 when he worked as a member of the GOP publicity staff.
Shortly thereafter Barrington moved down to Texas when he took job with the Houston Chronicle. In 1914 he moved to Oak Cliff, just south of Dallas, but only for a short time before he moved out to East Texas. It was not until 1920 that he moved back and permanently settled in the Dallas area. For the remainder of his years he devoted himself to writing, as he produced closed to 500 published short stories and several novels. His wife worked closely with him as his secretary, typing up all his manuscripts. He also began teaching a writing course at the Dallas Night School, and had a literary club in Houston named after him, The Barrington Fiction Club.
In September 1924 his first published story titled "Law," which is included in the collection, appeared in "Adventure" magazine. His final story, also in the collection, was published in November 1954 in "Double Action Western" magazine, and he had plans to write another novel and an unfinished story in his typewriter at the time of his death. His most popular novel was the historical work "Back from Goliad" which took place during the war for Texas independence, and he wrote it during the Texas Centennial celebration.
G.W. Barrington led a life as exciting as the stories he wrote, and helped to bring attention to many local and regional authors. Along with being a prolific writer and master storyteller some of the numerous jobs he held were as a plumber, house painter, dog trainer, fisherman, reporter, jockey, saloon
The majority of the collection consists of the original published magazine short stories and articles dating from 1924-1954. The collection also contains several typed manuscripts of both short and long works. Also included is correspondence, much of which is between Barrington and several different publishers, research materials, photogaphs, Barrington Fiction Club materials, Finacial records, photographs, and the memorial service record books for both Mr. and Mrs. Barrington.
The following items were removed from the collection, but can be found in the Texas/Dallas History Archives Division Perodical Collection:
Holland's Magazine - June, July, November, December 1924
Farm and Ranch - January 26, February 23, September 20, 1924
The Barrington Collection does contain two issues of Holland's Magazine from 1925 that are not included in the Perodical Collection.
Also removed from the collection was an issue of Life magazine: December 20, 1968, and 1 copy of The Texas Farmer Stockman: December 1983.
This record series is indexed under the following controlled access subject terms.

Lady Gaga Gets Pierced WHERE?!?! [VIDEO]
After going under the radar for a long time, Lady Gaga has finally emerged in time to prep for the up-coming release of her new album, ARTPOP.
Lots of rumors have been circulating about what exactly Gaga was doing when she stayed out of the spotlight for the first half of 2013. Her people claimed it was a "hip injury", but Gaga is looking facially different than she did before.
Many are suspecting that in addition to weight loss, the pop star got some "work" done of her face. We think her nose looks significantly SLIMMED DOWN!
Last week we reported that she posed NUDE for V Magazine (and she looked amazing) and yesterday Mother Monster released video footage that shows her getting her nose pierced. OUCH!
Lady Gaga was also recently named the highest paid celebrity under 30 by Forbes.com, so maybe she can forget the pain by swimming in her $80 million dollars.

Listen Live
Radio Heartland is a 24-hour service featuring acoustic, Americana and roots
music. Radio Heartland is available in the Twin Cities on KNOW-FM 91.1 HD2 and
worldwide on the internet.
Bluegrass band The High 48s release their latest album, 'Daddy Was a Bank Robber,' on Friday, June 16. They stopped at Radio Heartland to talk with host Mike Pengra and to play some songs off the new record -- all the while wearing matching suits in the grand bluegrass tradition.
If you're a fan of Joan Shelley, saying her new album is similar to her last one is a compliment. The main difference on the new one is Shelley got to work with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy as a producer. Joan Shelley stopped in the Radio Heartland studio to chat and to play a few songs from the new record.
Celebrating 25 years as a touring musician and more than a million miles traveled doing so, singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey has released a video of a performance of the title track from his 2017, Ani DiFranco-produced album, 'Are You Listening?' The video was recorded at a coffeehouse in Mulvey's hometown of Fort Atkinson, Wis.
The Last Revel are out with their third full-length album, but that's not the only milestone for the Minnesota-based string trio; they've also transitioned to being full-time musicians. 'It's definitely an exciting place to be,' says the band's Ryan Acker. In the run-up to the release of their new album 'Hazard & Fate,' the Last Revel visited Radio Heartland for a session hosted by Mike Pengra.

Playing Together
As a mum I am concerned that she don't play with other kids that she don't know that much. She is trying to observe them but she wants to play alone except if her cousin is with her then they play together. Can someone help me how to act on this?I'm a bit worried about her
17th October 2013 06:34 AM #2
Dear Gladys,
I note from your previous post that your daughter is 3 and 8 months. I actually would not be too concerned about this. Lots of 3 year olds enjoy playing by themselves, perhaps near or alongside other children but not always with other children.
You can draw confidence from the fact that your daughter does play with her cousin. This tells me that perhaps she feels a bit unconfident around children she does not know as well. One way to help her with this is to invite your friends with children (of a fairly similar age) to your house to play. Most children feel more confident when playing in their own, familiar environment.
Do you go to many playgroups? The more frequently you go to playgroups or on play dates with friends; the more your daughter will get used to being around other children and she will hopefully get more confident with this.
How are her speech and language skills?
I would take a gentle approach with your daughter; stay close to her at playgroups and play dates so that she knows that you are there and she can come and sit on your lap if she needs some more reassurance. If you take this approach then your daughter is more likely to gradually build up her confidence and start to interact and play with other children more.
Please do post back and let me know your thought on all this so that I can continue to support you and offer more ideas if needed.
Warm wishes,

thank you fore the advice maam
No i haven't been to a play group or play dates. I don't have friends that are of the same age as her. But i will try your advices Maam. It's so nice that you replied about my concerns and question about this.
18th October 2013 06:46 AM #4
You are most welcome Gladys
I would certainly advise that you try some playgroups and help your daughter to make friends with some more children her age. You will probably find you make some new friends in the process too!
Do write back and let us know how you get on.
Warm wishes,

Nounou Mountain (Sleeping Giant), Kauai
Nounou Mountain (Sleeping Giant)
- Name: Nounou Mountain (Sleeping Giant)
- What: Hiking trail up a mountain ridge shaped like a sleeping giant
- Where: Wailua in East Kauai
On Kauai's East Side between Wailua and Kapaa, is the Nounou Mountain range, more famously known as Sleeping Giant. Stare at the ridge from afar and with a little imagination you can make out what looks like a human figure lying on his back. Hawaiian legends say this giant was tricked by villagers into eating a vast amount of rocks hidden in fish and poi. Sleepy from the meal, the giant took a nap and hasn't woken since.
Sleeping Giant also offers a scenic hiking trail. The Nounou Trail is less than a 2-mile hike to the top of Sleeping Giant. The east Kauai views from the top of the ridge are beautiful. The Nounou trail head can be found on Halelilo Road in Wailua.

Macy's to Open on Thanksgiving
America's most traditional department store is giving up an old tradition for a new, more profit-oriented one. Macy's is going to be open for business on Thanksgiving Day. The "New York Post" reports that Macy's will join other big retailers in opening Thanksgiving night, afternoon or morning. The "Post" quotes sources who say Macy's brass got tired of seeing people top off watching the big Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York City by doing their holiday shopping in stores that were open. This Thanksgiving, Macy's will be one of those stores.

THOMASVILLE, N.C.-The Brevard College baseball team split a nonconference doubleheader with the Chowan Hawks at Finch Field on Saturday afternoon, falling 3-2 in the opener before hitting their way to an 8-4 win in the second game.
Game 1: Chowan 3, Brevard 2
John Hunter's RBI double in the 6th plated the go-ahead run as the Hawks took the opener despite an early BC lead.
Brevard jumped ahead 1-0 in the 1st on a Kody Spencer RBI single after John Slade doubled to start the game.
Chowan's Blake Eure hit a two-run homer in the top of the 5th to give the Hawks a 2-1 advantage.
Brevard tied the game in the home half of 5th on a Chowan fielding error before the Hawks regained the lead on the Hunter double in the 6th.
Game 2: Brevard 8, Chowan 4
The Tornados offense was hot early, scoring twice in the first frame and then adding six more runs in the 2nd to take a commanding 8-0 lead.
The Tornados slugged six hits in their six-run 2nd, and also benefited from three Chowan errors. Billy O'Hara, Eric Renegar and Chad Fisher all had RBI singles in the inning, while BC plated two runs on Chowan miscues and Hunter Donaldson added an RBI groundout.
Matthew Proffitt led off the 1st with a walk and later scored on a wild pitch before Hunter Donaldson made it 2-0 with an RBI single.

Tyler Konzen threw the final two innings, issuing a walk while picking up a strikeout.

Mets general manager Sandy Alderson conducted interviews this past weekend with candidates for the managerial job, meeting with Wally Backman, Terry Collins and Chip Hale in California.
Bob Melvin and Dave Jauss met with Alderson on Thursday.
All five came from within the organization. Hale is the Mets' third base coach, Jauss was bench coach for fired manager Jerry Manuel, Melvin is a scout, Collins serves as the club's minor league infield coordinator and Backman was a Class A manager last season.
Alderson plans to begin interviewing outside candidates this week. He'll meet with Boston bench coach DeMarlo Hale on Tuesday, and Rangers hitting coach Clint Hurdle and Don Wakamatsu on Wednesday at Citi Field. Wakamatsu, fired as manager of the Seattle Mariners in August, was hired as bench coach by the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania men's and women's fencing teams will send nine competitors to San Antonio for the NCAA Combined Men's and Women's Fencing Championships beginning Thursday at the Freeman Coliseum.
The full complement of six qualifiers emerged on the men's side, with veterans such as three-time All-American senior Evan Prochniak balanced by freshmen Leland Bernstein, Adam Elkassas and Ayyub Ibrahim, who will be making their first career appearances on the national stage. Michael Mills and Clifford Fishler are junior who are making a third career appearance at the meet.
On the women's side, last year's national runner-up in foil, Luona Wang, is back looking to make a repeat appearance in the final. Despite the fantastic year from Penn's foil team, Wang is the lone representative as Sarah Parmacek missed out in large part because of a reduced strength indicator that would have been boosted if the Ivy League Round-Robins hadn't been postponed due to a winter storm in February. In epee, senior Amrit Bhinder will make her fourth and final showing at the Championships, where she will be joined by junior Gabby Foor.
Each weapon has 24 entrants into the competition and the fencers will compete in a series of 23 five-touch bouts over two days. The top four finishers in each weapon will advance to a pair of 15-touch semifinals, with a 15-touch final to follow. The four semifinalists will be named First-Team All-Americans, with places five through eight given Second Team honors, and places nine through 12 earning Honorable Mention.
Each individual win will count as a point toward the final team total for the four days. With nine fencers competing, Penn has the ninth-most entrants of any school at the Championships and looks to be in good shape for a top 10 finish nationally. The men's team will begin competition on Thursday and Friday (March 21-22), with the women to pick things up on Saturday and Sunday (March 23-24). Both the men's championship rounds (Friday) and women's championship rounds (Sunday) will be broadcast live on ESPN3.com.
