A Case of Conscience

Confronted with a profound scientific riddle and ethical quandary, Father Ruiz-Sanchez soon finds himself torn between the teachings of his faith, the teachings of his science, and the inner promptings of his humanity. There is only one solution: He must accept an ancient and unforgivable heresy--and risk the futures of both worlds . . .
The citizens of the planet Lithia are some of the most ethical sentient beings Father Ramon Ruiz-Sanchez has ever encountered. True, they have no literature, no fine arts, and don't understand the concept of recreation, but neither do they understand the concepts of greed, envy, lust, or any of the sins and vices that plague humankind. Their world seems darned near perfect. And that is just what disturbs the good Father.
First published in 1959, James Blish's Hugo Award-winning A Case of Conscience is science fiction at its very best: a fast-paced, intelligent story that offers plenty of action while at the same time explores complex questions of values and ethics. In this case, Blish has taken on the age-old battle of good vs. evil. Lithia poses a theological question that lies at the heart of this book: is God necessary for a moral society? The Lithians are nothing if not moral. Not only do they lack the seven deadly sins, they also lack original sin. And without any sort of religious framework, they have created the Christian ideal world, one that humans would be eager to study and emulate. But is it too perfect? Is it in fact, as Father Ruiz-Sanchez suspects, the work of The Adversary? And what role does Egtverchi, the young Lithian raised on Earth, play? Is he an innocent victim of circumstance, or will he bring about the Dies Irae, the day of the wrath of God, upon the earth? The fate of two worlds hinges on the answers to these questions, and will lead to an ancient earth heresy that shakes the Jesuit priest's beliefs to their very core.
A Case of Conscience is a brilliant piece of storytelling, and it packs a lot into a scant 242 pages. Most readers will probably finish the book in one sitting, unable to stop until the spectacular denouement. But the questions posed by this little-known gem will stay with you for days afterward. --P.M. Atterberry

In 1999 a kayaking game was in development for the Nintendo 64 by Looking Glass Studios, developers more commonly known for their PC game series- Thief and System Shock. Following their closure in 2000 the half finished title Wildwaters Extreme Kayak for the N64 disappeared along with the ten impressive years the studio had built up.
Not all hope is lost for Wildwaters Extreme Kayak though. ROM release group Team Carrot, who previously provided a ROM of the unreleased Glover 2 for the Nintendo 64 late last year, have returned by preserving and providing the retro gaming world with a build of Looking Glass Studios' unfinished game.
Wildwaters Extreme Kayak is pretty much what you'd expect it to be, an action packed rapid racer flowing down winding rivers, however, its worth noting that it really is quite the unfinished game. Only the first level of the game can be played and once you reach the end of the race, your kayak will fall out of bounds.
Whilst we're lucky to finally be able to experience this unfinished game, there was another Nintendo 64 game in development at the same time as Wildwaters Extreme Kayak known as Mini Racers, which is still nowhere to be seen.
Wildwaters Extreme Kayak (Unreleased Nintendo 64 Title) Gameplay Video
A ROM of Wildwaters Extreme Kayak can now be downloaded from various sources and enjoyed in a Nintendo 64 emulator or on the likes of the 64drive and Everdrive 64 N64 flash cards.

(Apologies for the late reply; I've been on vacation.) On Saturday, February 16, 2002, at 07:19 PM, Lisa Dusseault wrote: > Application/octet-stream is the generally accepted "don't know what > else to > use" MIME type, the default MIME type. At least if we specify it, > behavior > will definitely be consistent. What's the virtue of not specifying it? I think there are three cases when you lock a URL that has no associated resource: 1. User specifies a Content-type: header on the request. In this case I believe the server SHOULD use that as the mime type of the associated 0-length (newly created) resource. (Interestingly, this is not mandated for a PUT in the spec; see below.) 2. User does not specify a Content-type: header on the request, but the server feels it can guess a mime type from the URL itself (e.g., the URL is /foo.html). In this case the server MAY use the heuristically-determined mime type for the newly created resource. 3. User does not specify a Content-type: header on the request, and the server doesn't feel it can guess a mime type. In this case the server MAY choose to associate application/octet-stream with the resource, but I believe it MAY also choose to associate NO mime type with the resource. In this latter case the server could return a 204 (with no Content-Type: header) to any GET request. > I do agree that when a content-type is included in a PUT overwriting the > empty resource, that should become the new content-type. However isn't > that > always the case, whether the resource was previously empty or not? Interestingly, 2518 says absolutely nothing about this. I personally believe it's a fairly important interoperability issue (since it determines what clients can assume about how servers store their resource). I'd love to see an issue added about it, especially since it would give us a chance to discuss whether the SHOULD in point 1, above, ought to be a MUST. danReceived on Monday, 25 February 2002 16:41:49 UTC

There are few, if any, politicians (or, indeed, members of the public at-large) who would welcome having their private conversations recorded. Sharron Angle, to whom this recently happened, is probably no exception. On the other hand, it doesn't appear that Angle said anything harmful to her candidacy during a 38-minute conversation in which she tried to talk Tea Party candidate Scott Ashjian into dropping out of the race. It's even possible that the release of the recording will help Angle.
The comments being reported consist largely of two types – assessments of the strength of her candidacy and assessments of the Republican Party. Neither assessment is glowing. As to the former, Angle told Ashjian, "I'm not sure I can win if you're hurting my chance [by remaining in the race]." When Ashjian responded "You have to understand, it's not personal," Angle countered, "Everyone says it's not personal but then Harry Reid wins."
This strikes me as a pretty realistic view of the situation. I doubt that Angle will be set back by evidence that she is running scared. And her comments may give some of Ashjian's supporters pause.
As for the Republican Party, Angle had this to say:
The Republicans have lost their standards, they've lost their principles…..Really that's why the machine in the Republican Party is fighting against me…..They have never really gone along with lower taxes and less government.
In my view, Angle's judgment is a bit too harsh, especially as it applies to the past two years. But the assessment doesn't strike me as impolitic. The Democrats may have become unpopular, but that doesn't mean the Republican brand is strong. Nevada voters may well be receptive to a candidate who finds neither party appealing.
Even as she expressed disgust with the Republicans "machine," Angle assured Ashjian that she will have access to key Republican players in the Senate, including Jim DeMint, Tom Coburn, and Mitch McConnell. I don't see any harm in this comment. Nevadans may consider Harry Reid too much of an insider, but it's unlikely that they want a Senator with no meaningful access.
Perhaps the most damaging of Angle's comments was her claim that, if elected, she will be one of a small band of true conservatives along with "maybe Joe Miller, Ken Buck, Christine O'Donnell" and "Marco Rubio, but that's a stretch for me." Nevada is not among our most conservative states, and its electorate may not want to be represented by someone who would be among the very most conservative members of the Senate.
At the same time, it's not clear that Nevadans want a Senator who tapes private conversations without consent. Thus, Ashjian's decision to release this recording may harm his candidacy. This, in turn, would help Angle.

Chicken Piccata for Summer and Chili Dusted Roasted Potatoes
A few years ago when Kris and I were visiting my family in Austin, we watched my mom whip up a simple chicken dish that we all flipped over. That dish was chicken piccata and for some unknown reason it took me about two years to remember to make myself.
The recipe varies oh so slightly from chef to chef but I promise that whichever one you choose - the homemade version is one billion times lighter and fresher than what you remember ordering at Olive Garden. (Not that I'm ripping Olive Garden - that was tres chic when I was in high school, as were, ever so briefly, Rocky Mountain jeans. Thankfully my taste buds and sense of fashion have moved on.)
Anyway, I made my chicken piccata from Giada's Everyday Italian cookbook and to make it even fresher for summer, I dumped in a pint of cherry tomatoes along with the capers. They simmer in the liquid as the chicken finishes cooking, getting plumper and sweeter by the minute. Kris HATES cherry tomatoes, yet I didn't notice him picking them out...
Chicken Piccata, adapted from Giada:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, flattened to 1/4 inch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
all purpose flour (about 1/3 cup, for dredging)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup rinsed and drained capers
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley
Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. In a large saute pan, melt two tablespoons of the butter with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until just brown, about 3 minutes per side. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate.
Add the broth, lemon juice, capers and tomatoes to the same pan. Bring the mixture up to a boil over medium high heat, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer until cooked through and tomatoes have begun to wrinkle and burst, about 5 minutes. using tongs, carefully transfer the chicken to plates or to a serving platter. Whisk the remaining tablespoon of butter (Giada uses two - I think one is plenty) into the sauce, then the chopped parsley. Serve with cumin dusted potatoes, as follows, or noodles or thick wedges of garlic bread.

Grilled Cheese and Pea Mozarella Soup - The Cure for what Ails You
There are few things I love more than this pea soup. It's easy, it's healthy, and it's just the sort of thing I want to eat after a long day, sitting with a bowl on the couch with remote in hand. In fact, it would be the PERFECT soup, if it weren't for the unique (to be polite) scent of peas which prevents me from taking leftovers to work. I don't want to be known as the girl who eats the soup that smells like feet. I'm sorry peas, but it's true.
If you've tried pea soup before and are less than thrilled at trying it again, be brave and try again. I didn't even know I liked peas before I made this for the first time, as the only other pea soups I'd had were made heavy and thick and overly salty by either bacon or ham, raping the little veggies of their natural sweetness. It should also be noted that leftovers of this soup can be made even better when you add leftover rice (particularly if you've cooked it with parsley and/or lemon zest.) In fact, that's the other thing about peas - they get along well with everybody, which is why you see them on so many English menus as an accompaniment with everything from fried haddock to lamb, possibly as some sort of karmic retribution for their smell.
Speaking of English, this is Nigella Lawson's recipe, with just the slightest adjustments on my part. Oh and if you're Kris, you don't understand the point of having soup without a sandwich, and the one below is made for dipping in the kelly green, mozzerella flecked swamp.
Pea Soup
4 shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 green onions (can sub fresh basil, parsley, mint or whatever herb you have on hand)
3 cups low sodium chicken stock
2 (10 oz) packages frozen peas
1 large ball fresh mozzarella, broken into small pieces
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, allowing to warm though, then the shallots. Season with salt and pepper and saute for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add green onions and chicken stock, cover and bring to boil. When boiling, add the peas and lower the heat, allowing to cook for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool for twenty minutes before blending. Discard the green onions and transfer the peas and shallots using a slotted spoon to a blender. Add half of the chicken stock, and carefully blend (CAREFUL WHEN BLENDING HOT LIQUID - PULL OUT THE PLASTIC CENTER FROM THE TOP TO ALLOW STEAM TO ESCAPE AND COVER LOOSELY WITH A KITCHEN TOWEL OR ELSE YOU'LL WIND UP WITH PEAS SOUP ON YOUR CEILING. TRUST ME - I'VE DONE IT.) Add as much of the leftover stock as you'd like to reach the constistancy you're happy with, then add in half of the mozzarella pieces blending in to incorporate. When happy, put back in the large pot and cook over low heat, until warmed through. Serve with extra mozzarella pieces sprinkled on top.
Mozzarella Grilled Cheese (This sandwich is baked, actually, making it less fussy than other grilled cheeses.)
French Baguette
1 ball fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
olive oil
salt and pepper
Basil pesto (either purchased or home made)
Preheat oven to 350. Slice your baguette into the size sandwiches you desire, then halve them. Place the halves on an aluminum lined baking sheet sprayed with Pam. Layer your mozzarella slices on the bottom halves, then drizzle the slices as well as the underside of the tops with a light amount of olive oil (use a light hand - you don't want to make the bread heavy or soggy.) Sprinkle all with sea salt and pepper and place in the oven, baking for about 15 minutes or until cheese has begun to melt off the sides and bread is toasted.
Spread the underside of the tops with pesto, assemble the sandwiches, and serve with extra peso on the side.

Murray's Pasta
I am so glad the carb and pasta bashing seems to have faded a little. As a food lover, I couldn't go more than a couple of days without eating it; as a cook, I couldn't think of anything faster or easier to whip up on the nights I'm too tired to cook but too mentally worn to read a take out menu (not to mention phoning in the order to have someone who inevitably speaks every language BUT English answer.)
This pasta recipe was inspired by the world famous Murray's Cheese Shop. After stopping there one night after work and scooping up some of their fresh homemade pasta and a velvety log of goat cheese, I created it with what I had in my fridge. I probably make it once a week and it yields the only leftovers that are guaranteed to exit my refrigerator in less than 24 hours. If you can't get fresh pasta from Murray's or an Italian market, you could sub the fresh kind in regular grocery stores (I think Bertolli makes a good one) or even use dried. If you are using fresh, watch it carefully and remove it after just a couple of minutes or else you'll have flacid, limp pasta and a dissapointing consistency to the dish. As the gentile gay neighbors said in American Beauty - "You just drop it in the water and it's done!"
Murray's Pasta
1 (16 oz) package fresh spiral pasta (can sub bow ties or penne)
zest of one lemon
1 bunch fresh basil, rinsed and stems removed
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and halved PLUS three tablespoons of the oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
pinch red pepper flakes
1 (4.5 oz) log fresh goat cheese (I prefer Vermont Butter and Cheese brand)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
extra virgin olive oil, optional
Prepare the pasta according to package directions, being careful not to overcook. Drain and place into a large serving bowl. Add the sundried tomatoes, sundried tomato oil, lemon zest, pepper flakes, sea salt, and basil and toss well.
Carefully break up the goat cheese into fat crumbles and add to the pasta with the pine nuts. Gently toss together (overtossing will cause the goat cheese to disappear into the pasta rather than stay in chunks which I prefer.)
Serve immediately, with a small splash of extra virgin olive oil drizzled over the top, if desired.

Here's a list of all my published works. I think it's almost totally up to date. But it might not be perfect. I have a tech person who does this and I noticed a few missing, so I added them myself. And I'll continue to add the links to the Ravenous books as I get them.
Now, if you're looking for previous books in which I've been published, I did a few posts here on the blog a while back that lists everything according to the anthology and/or publisher. I started getting published in college, so the list dates back a few years. And some of the short stories have been republished with Ryan Field Press. Here's part one, here's part two, and this is part three. You have to understand that at one time, not too long ago, there were only several publishers that concentrated on LGBT fiction. And Alyson Publications, which was one of the largest, isn't even in business anymore. So many of these books are out of print now, which is why I re-published some of them.

Original Poem in Maithili by Gajendra Thakur Translated into English by Jyoti Jha Chaudhary
Dear Satanand Purhit
The day of Agahan Shukla Vivah Panchami
The best day for marriage
Satanand Purhit
Ram and Sita got married on that day
Aunty from Kharadak also
Got married on the vivah panchami
The preist was also someone very famous
How much the goddess Sita had suffered !
The marba was painted with Mithila painting
Parichan, Naina-jogin all rituals were performed
Just like the marriage of the goddess Sita
The marriage of the aunty was bal-vivah
The day was also very auspicious
Naina jogin and song of jog
Nothing could save her from widowhood
She was widowed
My friend tells me
When he takes his sister-in-law
To the Danapur Cant for pension
He cries at heart
By seeing his widow sister-in-law
He favoured the system of
Re-marriage of widow
In front of his father
Got reply with full anger
The ancestor of the famous family
Of Babusaheb from Neura's Rajputs
How could he dare!
But he knows that
His father is also not happy
But bound to bear the system of society
He didn't have any other option
Dear Shatanand Purhit
Please explain me
The speciality of that auspicious day.

Zane Taylor may be back to being the center of attention on Utah's offensive line. Last year's starter, who spent much of spring ball playing guard, spent the majority of Saturday's practice at his old spot.
And the junior liked it.
"It feels good getting back to center," Taylor said. "I love being an offensive lineman playing any position, but center is kind of where I feel more comfortable."
Taylor, however, has the skills to play anywhere on the line and the coaching staff has been exploring the options in their quest to put the five best linemen on the field.
"He's taking the majority of the reps right now," Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said of Taylor's increased work at center. "He is going to be on the field regardless."
Whittingham said the field of candidates for the fifth spot on the line includes junior Walter Watts, redshirt freshman Tevita Stevens, senior Tyler Williams, redshirt freshman Derek Tuimauga and senior Viliamu Nau.
QB UPDATE: Whittingham reiterated that the three-way competition for the starting quarterback job (between Corbin Louks, Terrance Cain and Jordan Wynn) is still a three-way race and will likely remain that way until Thursday's scrimmage is complete.
"No change. Nope," he said when asked if any separation has taken place. "I wish there were, but there's not. We'll just keep working them all and stick with the original plan."
JUST FOR KICKS: Replacing All-America kicker/punter Louie Sakoda is an obvious priority for the Utes. And though it may not as pressing as the quarterback situation at this time, Whittingham acknowledged things are coming along.
The current pecking order, he noted, has senior Ben Vroman topping the depth chart at place kicker and redshirt freshman Sean Sellwood at punter. True freshman Nick Marsh is No. 2 at both spots.

The problem with globalisation is that it cannot globalise politics.
This propos, from a November presentation by Joseph Stiglitz, is self-evident: capital flows unconstrained (mostly) internationally but political economy – and this scribe chooses to define that as the socially judicial art of satisfying unlimited wants with limited resources – remains a national concept whose essence frequently changes at borders.
Thus trade treaties are asymmetric and reflect, more than anything, the existing balance of negotiating power. Even after the often hailed GATT/WTO Uruguay round OECD tariffs for goods from poorer nations are 4 times higher than those from OECD members. No area is more illustrative of this than agriculture where, not only are there high tariffs, but OECD countries subsidise 48% of total farming production. That political attachment to subsidies - recognised, hidden or (especially) re-defined - explains in large part the demise of Doha last summer. Piss-taking has its limits.
Nonetheless, between WTO rules, IMF conditionally and a lop-sided market-economy dogma advocated by the developed there remains an aggregate force that presses down upon developing nations and undermines local culture, social justice, environmental protection and access to developed country intellectual property – most notoriously HIV/Aids medicines.
This is not a moralistic bash-the-North piece. It is an argument that their national politics are myopically getting in the way of a greater (including their own) economic, political and social stability. Examples abound but nowhere, probably, is it more media-obvious than in the havoc being relentlessly wrought upon the environment by capital. Love of sovereignty can have significant negative externalities.
Expecting the scales to drop from the eyes of the developed ahead of future trade discussions, as Mr Stiglitz's presentation appeared to implicitly hope, is futile. Not much of value has ever been given away by power; and negotiation, rightly, is here to stay. And on this count there is encouragement to be found in Doha's very failure: it showed that the pivot in the balance of such negotiations can move Southward - 'take it or leave' does not always work. Still, pleasing at it may be, that trend is not yet strong enough to yet help the very poorest.
Happy New Year.

'Men of Harlech.' The nation's unofficial anthem, loved by rugby fans and regimental bands alike, is said to describe the siege which took place here during the War of the Roses, wherein a handful of men held out against a besieging army of thousands. Edward's tried and tested 'walls within walls' model was put together in super-fast time between 1283 and 1295 by an army of nearly a thousand skilled craftsmen and labourers.
Edward liked to use only the best masons from Savoy and England's finest carpenters and blacksmiths. At the time this was one of the cheapest of Edward's castles. A snip at a mere £8,190.
The structure, overseen by Master of the King's Works, James of St George, boasts two rings of walls and towers, with an immensely strong east gatehouse. It was impregnable from almost every angle. Its secret weapon was a 200-foot (61m) long stairway which still leads from the castle to the cliff base.
Access via the stairway to the sea and crucial supplies kept the castle's besieged inhabitants fed and watered. When it was first built, a channel would have connected the castle and the sea. You could have sailed a boat up to the moat. Seven hundred years later, the sea has receded and you could say the castle appears almost stranded, waiting for the tide to turn once more.
The newly installed 'floating' bridge at Harlech Castle makes access to the castle truly available for all. The bridge connects the castle with the brand new visitor centre in the former Castle Hotel building. The development also includes five new luxury apartments that are let by Menai Holiday Cottages. To book your stay, please visit the Menai Holiday Cottages website.
Along with Caernarfon Castle, Conwy Castle and Beaumaris Castle, this monument has been part of the Castles and Town Walls of Edward 1 World Heritage Site since 1986.
Purchase your Cadw guidebook here…
Harlech Castle Visitor Centre, Apartments and Footbridge won the Tourism and Leisure Category at the 2017 RICS Awards.
The judges said, 'The visitor centre is an integral part of the visitor experience to the castle and it is hard to now imagine the site without it. The centre appears not only to have added to the overall visitor experience of the World Heritage Site but it has changed the nature of the town centre from one of quiet decay to one of optimism, with new business start-ups and expansion of existing businesses. The centre also now appears to act as a central anchor for local businesses. Future plans for the castle itself can only add to long term success.'

How to Wear a Sweatshirt as a Dress: Kendall Jenner Edition
Kendall Jenner is a solid 5'10"—her height is no joke, nor is the length of her legs. This fact makes it all the more impressive that she can wear a normally sized unisex sweatshirt as a dress—which is exactly what she did during a recent trip to New York.
Jenner hit the town in a "Yeezus" sweatshirt, presumably from her brother-in-law Kanye West's tour; a pair of sky-high black pumps; her favourite Victoria Beckham aviators; and—well, not much else. Of course, Jenner makes it work, and she has officially inspired us to abandon all our pants this summer.

The funny thing about the Netherlands is that because it's so flat as a whole, anything bigger than a pile of dog crap gets elevated into a hill, and hills by any other standard become mountains. St. Pietersberg, in Maastricht, is a scant 171 meters high at its highest point, and is best known for being the end of the Pieterpad, as series of hikes you can do (at once, or over the course of several weeks/months) that runs from the Pieterburen, in the Waddenkust in Groningen, to St. Pietersberg. Tourists from all over the world descend upon Philadelphia to run up the steps of the Art Museum, a la Rocky Balboa--it's sort of the same thing with St. Pietersberg. It's the Dutch equivalent of the Appalachian trail, without the whole death-by-bear bit.
So St. Jansberg isn't, despite the suffix, actually a mountain, except by dint of comparison to, say, Friesland. And it's much smaller than St. Pietersberg, topping out between 66 and 77 m in height (so says Wikipedia), a decent invigorating stroll for brisk days like yesterday. We rode our bikes out to Sint Jansberg, which is literally the next hill over from the Mookerheide. A short stroll will take you from the Bisseltsebaan, which is the unpaved road that connects the houses in the area, through some farmland that would do hobbits proud, to the foot of the "mountain". It's interesting to see these vast expanses of empty green space, and contemplate the fact that you're in one of the most densely-populated countries in the world.
It makes for a nice way to spend the afternoon, provided that you are prepared for metabolic emergencies. I had thought to bring a granola bar, to offset the likelihood that I would get hit with the munchies at some point, but it turned out that Karel, his blood sugar low to start with and fading fast by the top of the mountain, needed it first. We ended up having lunch at 't Zwaantje, the little restaurant that serves the area and makes a killing on tired and hungry wandelaars who don't mind paying a few euros if it means they don't have to bring a picnic basket.

How should you design bracing for a DIY subwoofer? It's very common for DIY enthusiasts to get it wrong. There are many different ways to brace a subwoofer enclosure, but the one shown here is one that will yield the best performance possible without going crazy.
What are we trying to achieve?
With a subwoofer box, the critical aspect is stiffness. In a fullrange enclosure, the challenge is different as we are also interested in damping qualities. Accelerometer measurements of fullrange enclosures show benefit from mass damping with lead, but for a sub box this merely adds weight. With a sub we simply want to make the box stiff. We can achieve this with curved walls, exotic materials, very thick walls but the cost effective way to do it is with bracing applied to reasonably thick walls.
So if we start with 18mm MDF, we might first double the thickness for the baffle, then brace internally. Each brace should touch 4 walls, and 3 intersecting sheets should be used. We then make cut outs for the driver and amp (if used in the box), and openings so that we don't have enclosed air cells.
Here is an example:
This bracing system could be improved slightly but making the cut-outs circular, although the differencs isn't critical.
Another example can be seen here of a 10" subwoofer with a downfiring driver.
A similar bracing design could be scaled up for 12" or 15" drivers. As the enclosure gets larger you may choose more bracing sheets, but as a general guide aim to break up the box with a grid no greater than 200mm.

As we near the end of our Annual KODM Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon, our partners with 7-Eleven had a big surprise for us. Tony Sharp Regional Manager, presented a $40,000 check to the children at St. Jude!
Over the last few weeks, our 60 local 7-Eleven stores have been selling boots to 'help kids kick cancer'. They also donated a penny for every gallon of fuel they pumped. On top of that, they teamed with their friends at Pepsi, to give 10 cents for every Pepsi 20oz drink sold during the promotion.
"Penny at the Pump" continues until Saturday. You can also donate online, HERE.
West Texans appreciate a company that gives back, thanks Tony and everyone at 7-11/Alon.

Herve Leger can almost be called the "King of Stripes. Practically every one of his designs, has stripes or bands in some form or other. These colourful designs are made from elastic bandages hand-stitched together and are very distinctive.
Herve Leger was born in 1957 in a village in the North of France. In 1973 he won a place in art school, so he moved to Paris. He started his career as a hair dresser in Maniatis Salon, but felt that this was not his forte. So in 1975 he changed his profession to hat-making which he felt would lead him into the fashion world. He designed and made up a group of hats reminiscent of Christian Bernard and Elsa Schiaparelli, for Venus et Neptune, the trendiest shop on the Left Bank in Paris.
In 1977 Leger got his first break, when the Italian knitwear designer Tan Guidecelli took him to work for him, where he learned... read more »»»

my lightning season tickets came in the mail today..... im crying inside
Mike was quoted as saying that hockey was his passion but it wasn't his whole life. He said he was going to train, do a little traveling with his wife, and do some fishing. Somebody went off on that as well. It's not like either one of them have much control of the situation. Why do people think there is something wrong with finding the silver lining and making the best of it? You've got to wonder about the owners thinking. In what business model is it a good idea to tick off all of your eployees and customers at the same time?
Canadian Dance Moves - YouTube
ugh...reading about replacement players on twitter.... um NO! whether real or not um no!
I didn't pay all those thousands to watch replacement players Lightning! I want Vinny, Marty, Stammer, Bugsy, Salo, Carle, Hedman and all the rest of them not some crappy ECHL players!
I better get my money back anyway guys for those games because I did NOT buy tickets to see replacement players and if I don't get my money back I still WONT watch the games.... I'm just gonna hold a protest outside the forum for each game wearing my custom made season ticket holder jersey!
National Hockey League cancels first two weeks of regular season - ESPN
Well, there is the first two weeks to go.
Can the lockout please be over now? I miss hockey.
Red Wings' Henrik Zetterberg agrees to join Swiss team
Zetterberg signs with a Swiss team. He's been one of the most vocal high-profile players negotiating on behalf of the NHLPA. Writers seem to think this indicates the lockout is nowhere close to resolution.
Zetterberg, who turns 32 on Tuesday, said as late as last week that he wasn't eager to go anywhere. During the lockout in 2004-05, he played for his old club in Sweden. But that wasn't an option this time around because he has $50 million left on his contract, requiring heavy insurance.
He said he'd only consider a place in Europe where neither the insurance nor the taxes would be devastating.
Like all the NHL players going overseas to play, Zetterberg has an out clause, but his decision to go through all the trouble of insuring himself and his contract and the hassle of setting up in a new place is a pretty good indication that the NHL labor dispute is going to drag on.
I am still going with a 42 game, start of the season in January as a best case scenario.
I'm just going watch curling and wait it out
NHL offers 50/50 split in revenue, no rollback in order to preserve 82-game season | Puck Daddy - Yahoo! Sports
This is a really good move by the owners, now if things don't get done the fans will lean towards blaming the players more than blaming the owners.
goodbye hockey.....
neither side understands how to work this out
Yes players I agree you should be paid the contracts you were written... I totally agree but you won't so for the love of god please try and get the best deal you can and agree to the owners escrow payback because you aren't gonna get your contracts now.
that being said for the love of god owners agree to slowly move down to 50/50 with something like 54/46, 52/48, 50/50 in 3 years and pay back the players over time like your plan proposed....
really i think this is the best we will get... and once again I'm really sad and mad at ALL involved in this
Losing two whole seasons in less than 10 years would be beyond stupid for everyone involved.

Online taxis, ready whenever I am!
I usually buy a monthly travel card to commute to work in and out of the city. My job requires me to travel abroad on occasion too. Getting to the airport via public transport from where I live just isn't feasible. Sometimes I need to get a minicab to work too as I have to travel to different sites.
I need to find a trustworthy cab service who are reliable, ready, trustworthy on top all else, cheap and reasonable on those long airport journeys. I found a way of achieving just that, using online taxis.
Convenient and ready for me
Navigating through some of these online taxi websites, it is quite easy to go through and book a journey. Under less than a minute my journey has been booked with me also signing up. Next thing you I get a confirmation text and a taxi arrives outside my house in five minutes. The beauty is that all my journeys are saved; I never have to specifically enter my common journeys again.
Sometimes you may need to get somewhere fast for social reasons. Whether they are planned ahead or a spur of a moment type of thing, online cab bookings are the way forward. They are affordable and always arrive quickly.
Airport fares
Getting a taxi to Heathrow and Gatwick can prove pricey if anything. Internet taxi services are definitely the way forward. Comparing quotes is made a lot easier. Phoning up various firms to carry out such a task can prove tedious and generally wastes a lot of time. Booking a taxi online saves so much money, with all sites competing with other to deliver the best fare.

1961 Ford Falcon 2dr Sedan (39000 miles)170ci Straight 6 - IMPECCABLE CONDITION with 39000miles
1961 Ford Falcon 2dr Sedan
FMC has always been a fan of these little inexpensive compact cars of the past that has been kept in excellent and original condition. This is a beautifully example of one of them. A beautifully restored Ford Falcon that is absolutely amazing. Although these cars were produced in large numbers in the early 60s, they are extremely hard to find today; especially in this condition. Production numbers exceeded 150,000 in 1961. They can be seen everywhere. Today, you can go years without seeing one. When you do see one, it is usually a rusty old mess or has had an oversized 350ci Chevy stuffed into it. This car is different. It is in Impeccable original condition and looks as if it left the factory a few weeks ago.
The Falcons history began in 1960. The 61 as this is, was basically unchanged from the 1960 model. The model continued through the 60s and was highly successful. So successful that it became the starting point for the first Mustang in 1964 having used the frame of the Falcon for its basic size and wheelbase. Not a bad history for what was thought of as a throw-away car with a selling price of under $2000 in 1961.
This Falcon has been refinished in its factory color of Corinthian White. The paint looks like new. All body panels are original, straight and all rust free. This car has never seen rust anywhere. Truly amazing considering these cars were prone to rust. All Chrome is gleaming with no pitting or scratching of any kind. The same can be said for its trim pieces. They are perfect.
The interior has been restored to day one condition. Seating is like new. The dash has been refinished in its original blue. The gauges are all perfect and work properly.
The undercarriage is very clean and based on these facts, we believe that the odometer reading of just 39000 is actually. We can not say this for certain but a good look at this car will basically confirm this.
The bullet-proof 170ci 6cyl runs and drives as it should. Starting is easy and it stops as it was designed to. If your looking for an inexpensive piece of Ford history, this is it. It wont beat your Chevelle or Cuda in any races but it will get as many looks and maybe more. Wanna bet?

The joys of parenthood cannot be compared to any other experience in life. Being a parent is exciting, stressful, wondrous and scary all at the same time. Moms, especially, have the innate ability to stay "on" even when they've only gotten eight hours of sleep in three days. As a new and young mom, it is second nature to put the needs of your family before your own and while your role is a rewarding one, it can also wear you out.
Everyone needs "me time" to relax and unwind, especially mothers with young, energetic children. With the flexibility of summer camp and play dates, summertime is the perfect chance to get away for a much-needed solo adventure. Not only is solo travel a luxury for young mothers, it's also quite beneficial to your overall health.
Here are just a few ways to unwind during a solo trip:
Enjoy the silence! Try a new spa treatment, guilt and kid-free. Lounge around by the infinity pool or unwind in the sauna or spa. No matter which quiet space you choose, bask in the uninterrupted stillness of life.
Take a yoga class or try a new activity that you haven't had time to experience before. Explore the culture and scenery of the surrounding area and linger in the silence and stillness of nature's beauty. Spending a day alone can be surprisingly exhilarating and refreshing.
Wine and dine yourself. When was the last time you were able to enjoy a meal without wiping a young face or scooping crumbs off a high chair? Enjoy every bite of your meal and splurge on that delicious dessert without the ever approaching bedtime deadline. If you're hesitant about dining alone in public, bring a book or a magazine to read.
The options really are endless. Make yourself a priority for a while, Mom! Enjoy a few full nights of uninterrupted sleep and really recharge your mind and body before stepping back into your favorite Mommy role at home.

If you read enough personal finance blogs, you'll see a common theme and the number one answer to your financial dilemma — "Spend Less than You Earn". Unfortunately, it's easier said than done, otherwise, we wouldn't have this rampant debt problem in our society. Fortunately, I went through this myself, and over the years, I've learned a few tricks that might help you.
I find it amazing the number of people who call the Dave Ramsey show who cannot immediately say how much they make annually. Actually, I used to find it amazing until I found myself in the same category.
This step is especially hard for people who run a small business, have multiple income streams, or whose pay fluctuates in any way. Nevertheless, you cannot spend less than you earn if you don't know what you earn.
Once you know your income you should remember you cannot spend more than this number.
Some people budget and account weekly, others monthly, and some quarterly. The important thing is that you do keep a budget. If you are new to budgeting here is a list of suggested budget categories as well as a guide on how to make a budget.
The accounting responsibilities will successfully kill any budget. Make it simple. To start with I suggest you start using the cash budget envelope system.
Now the only rule is that you do not spend more money than you have in your envelope. Always be sure your budget is doing it's job.
You might find that it is hard to make your budget work. There are two common reasons.
Once you have found the balance between your income and your expenses you are now in a position to spend less than you earn.
Anyone out there spend less than you earn? What are your tips, ideas, or suggestions?
Great Article and great site, I've been reading it all afternoon.
Your step #4 is what makes the biggest difference for me. I am concerned every day that my job will be another one that is eliminated. However, instead of waiting for that to happen I've worked hard to cut my expenses and have found small ways to make more money. One thing I did find by aggressively looking for ways to cut my expenses is that I've been paying too much for too many things all along!! I feel more secure knowing I can live on a lot less.
You're right, it's really really hard to try and spend less than you make. Budgets really can be hard to stick to because they're not fun. What I do is I automatically deduct what I want to save from my bank to another savings account. I don't even have to think about it… I find it easier that way. Then the leftover money is money that you don't have to worry about… but of course you'll have to make sure that you don't spend more than what you have in the bank!
Even if your income is low, you can still make a decent living if you know how to balance your personal budget. I'm not saying come up with a detailed budget like the feds, but at least, in your mind, know how much money you can spend with the money you have. Remember, excessive debt got America into its current debt.
Great post. We are just starting to purposely track every dollar and tell it where to go. We kind of guessed before (yeah, I know, I know). I find it to be really rewarding when we get our budget right, we spend what we say we will. Its great! The hard part is when we go over because we under budgeted. grr. Hopefully in about 2 more months, we will have our budget down pat and can get on to the next financial goals.
One tip I have used to help me to spend less than I earn was to make my budget based on slightly less than my actual income. I have a zero based budget, so all expenses equal income but then I trimmed the budget down to about $50 less than my salary. I also do not account for any extra money, like interest that comes in or earnings from the blog.
This way I spend less than I actually make and can transfer the excess to savings OR snowflake it to debt.

If you read our Tutorial on Include Files (SSI) then you learned how to encapsulate ASP code within include files and the benefits it brings us.
As developers, we should endeavour to make our lives easier wherever possible... no one wants to re-invent the wheel after all.
Functions and Subroutines exist to not only save us time, but to bring power to our ASP.
They are just another way of encapsulating code, but have a lot more functionality than just 'saving some code for later'.
First, let's look at Functions... Imagine a balloon salesman in the street. We've all seen them they require one piece of information when you buy a balloon, the colour.
Let say we asked for a red balloon... The balloon salesman armed with this 'information' then does a pretty basic action... he hands you the balloon. The balloon you received is a direct result of the information you gave the balloon seller.
Functions are just the same... they return to you a value based on the information you provided. Lets look at an example Function: -
A Function is passed some information. The information we pass a Function, is known as an 'argument'. The information we get back from a Function is known as the 'return value'. Whilst a Function can have many arguments, it can only have one return value.Let us look at one more example: -
Again, another basic example. We should notice this time that the Function accepts two arguments.
By now, we have some idea of how to write a Function. How do we use one?Let me show you now how we can use the calcTax example.
Above you see the example function in action... easy huh!I have tried to make understanding Functions as easy as possible... Understanding a Subroutine (Sub) is now going to be easy for you. Imagine a block of code that performed some instructions based on information you gave it...Sounds very much like a function, doesn?t it? Well this time, we do not get anything back. A sub does NOT pass back information it just uses the data we give it for some purpose.I will use only one example of a Sub, and in the same example make use of the sub: -
The above Sub, demonstrates my point. We put something in, it performs an action (in this case writing to the screen), but nothing is returned to us in the code. One thing that REALLY IS important when using a sub, is that we do not put brackets around the arguments... Because we do not have a return value we do not need brackets and in this case, if we try we will get an error.Well, that just about concludes this article. We should by now be writing efficient code with the use of Functions and Subs. Don?t forget that if you use your functions and subs in multiple pages then you should really store them within include files for reasons of easy maintenance and better performance.
