<~--OSX Flags List for Darwin Bootloader & kernel level--~>
Posted 17 April 2008 - 07:06 PM
The Flags are divided up this way.
By category they fit in. Those are boot loader & kernel level flags.A. By version of OS X they work with. Currently I have little data for this breakdown. It is impossible to tell which ones are specific to a OS version without extensive testing of each flag.
B. By kernel they work with. Only data I have for this breakdown is for hacked and vanilla kernels in Leopard currently.
Note: All unknown flags will go in separate list at the bottom of the category they belong to or in there own separate category for now. Once more information is gathered the list will be updated and flag categorized better.
I am asking anyone to help with notes or details for any flag to please step forward with any additional information you have.
Darwin boot loader level flags, for Darwin version 8.0:
-v = verbose mode. Basically tells you wants happening during boot up.
-x = Safe mode. Basically boots your system with the bare minimum kexts.
-s = Single user mode. Command line only mode. Allows you to run commands as root to fix system.
-f = Tells the machine to reload all kext and dump the boot configuration cache, (kext cache found in: /System/Library/Extensions.mkext, you can delete it manually and the system will recreate it).
"Graphics Mode"= Tells the system what resolution width, height, color depth & refresh rate to boot the OS with.
Ex: "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH
For VESA 3.0 graphics, you may append a refresh rate after an "@" character
Ex: "Graphics Mode"="640x480x32@60" WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH@REFRESHRATE
rd= This parameter state what is the boot disk to use (instead of using the boot menu appearing before the prompt) you state the drive and partition in here: diskXsY where X stands for the disk number (first disk, usually primary master in IDE or SATA) 0 second disk is 1 etc.) and Y stands for the partition on that disk starting with 1 as the first partition.
Ex: rd=disk0s1 If you have one disk and one partition the parameter will look like this.
You can also use rd=*<IODeviceTree path> for booting from a PCI RAID card for example. Ex: of this would be rd=*/PCI0@0/CHN0@0/@0:1
Platform= this parameter sets the platform to use at this boot time.
Examples of this flag are:
platform=ACPI (ACPI support)
platform=X86PC (non ACPI support)
platform=ACPI|86PC (try to support ACPI if fails do not support it)
?memory = this info screen display information about the memory on the machine
?video = this info screen display information about the video card supported graphic modes
ACPI Flags
acpi=off = Don't enable ACPI
acpi=ht = Use ACPI boot table parsing, but don't enable ACPI interpreter
acpi=force = Force ACPI on (currently not needed)
acpi=strict = Disable out of spec ACPI workarounds.
acpi_sci={edge,level,high,low} Set up ACPI SCI interrupt. EX: acpi_sci=edge
acpi=noirq = Don't route interrupts
Darwin flags most commonly added to com.apple.Boot.plist file:
Note: Any flag can be added to your boot.plist but these are just the common ones.
"Boot Graphics"=Yes = Yes or No. Use graphics mode or text mode when starting. Turns off vesa mode graphics at boot.
"Quiet Boot"=Yes = Yes or No. Use quiet boot mode (no messages or prompt). Same as adding -v option.
Timeout=3 = Any number 1-100. Number of seconds to pause at the boot prompt.
debug=0x144 When added as a boot flag to your com.apple.Boot.plist will give you details about a kernel panic you have at any time when running OSX. I believe it is the same as debug=0x100, not sure.
Unknown Darwin Boot Loader Flags
Text Mode = Might be the same as -v not sure.
Kernel Flags = ?
MKext Cache = Might be to specify the mkext cache to use. Not sure.
Kernel = To specify kernel to use. Correct?
Kernel Cache = Possibly to specify where the kernel should cache?
Boot Device = Might be the same as rd= above. Not sure.
boot-uuid = Believed to be the same as for example rd=disk1s1. Not sure exactly how this is formatted and if it has any other special characteristics. Might be useful to some where the rd flag gives you trouble.
CD-ROM Prompt = ?
CD-ROM Option Key = ?
-F = Not sure could be the same as lower case -f flag.
Kernel level flags:
-l = The flag attempts to enable the L2 cache if not already enabled. Not sure if this works on hacks. If your having an L2 cache issue try this flag.
cpus= Tells the kernel how many cores there are in place. Ex: cpus=1 OR cpus=2
idlehalt= Lets you set two values ether 1 or 0 stating true or false, if set to true then at idle time the cpu will halt causing power saving and cooling of CPU, if set to 0 then the cpu will allways run even in idle time.
cpuidle= Lets you set two values ether 1 or 0 stating true or false. This flag is exactly the same as the one above I believe. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
-legacy = causes the system to load in 32 bit mode while running on 64 bit version of OS X
debug=0x100 = To show information about kernel panics & other useful info from system at startup. If you are getting a auto rebooting from bad kernel or kext being loaded use this flag to see what it is. Will help when posting information on this forum for diagnoses.
maxmem=xxxx = This allows you to specify maximum memory used by the system. Not sure if the rest of the memory is used for apps or not. Many people have to use this if they have 4GB of memory in a 32bit OS. Ex: maxmem=2048
Unknown kernel level flags
dtrace_dof_mode = ?
DisableFBT = ?
IgnoreFBTBlacklist = ?
-s = May sever the same purpose as -s at darwin. Otherwise how would you enter this. May not be a correct flag.

fn=x This flag can increase performance and forces OSX to use the users input for CPU/Fan/Idle control. "fn" stands for "forcenap" and provides different implementions for handling CPU idle time with the goal of CPU heat/fan control.
There are five values:
fn=0 : Sets this to off I believe
fn=1 : Not sure what this one does?
fn=2 : Uses CPU instructions "monitor/mwait" (will crash on SSE2 CPUs)
fn=3 : Original implemention of the previous Mac OS X x86 builds. This option sets your energy level to high and causes the fans to run full. This is helpful to keep your processor running fast, but chews up your battery life. Some users find this option gives the fastest system performance on desktops.
fn=4 : Uses CPU instructions "monitor/mwait" (will crash on SSE2 CPUs)
Kernel level flags used for hacked kernels ONLY
kernel name "mach_kernel" This flag simply tells the system to boot from another kernel available in / (aka root).
fsb=<mhz> = Most of the hacked kernels include the possibility at boot to chosen FSB frequency. These flags DO NOT work with any known vanilla kernel. Do testing with the below values to see what works for you. The default value is 200Mhz. If you want different value, you have a few possibilities.
Ex: kernel name "netkasSS_kernel"
Ex: fsb=800 or use one of these flags below:
-g = For frequency's multiplied by 100 Mhz
-y = For frequency's multiplied by 133 Mhz
-z = For frequency's multiplied by 166 Mhz
* You can easily add either the -y, -g, or -z options to your boot.plist file or use the fsb=<mhz> flag to give it an exact figure. I have not tested the fsb=<mhz> flag but the -y gave me the correct 800fsb (100mhz x 8) and boosted my performance to where it should be in OSX. This may not change the FSB in about this mac on a hack, it did not for me. You would need to test with a benchmark app to see the gain. Hopefully hardcoded front side bus speeds can be added to SMBIOS files at some point in the future by netkas or Mac.Nub.
-vmware = Force vmware support, with hacked kernels. Needs testing.
-force64 = Force 64bit mode for AMD 64 bit cpu's. Needs testing.
cpu=x = Number of physical cpu's installed NOT CORES. Also needs testing
Unix Flags that might work in OSX. See subcategories for details
This list is mostly AMD specific boot options & for 64bit CPU's. Might also help with Intel CPU's. This list needs extensive testing & feedback but most of these flags do work in OSX. Once more info is gathered They will be categorized into the lists above
Machine check Options Flags
mce=off = Disable machine check. For compatibility with i386. Might help boot some AMD systems. nomce does the same same as mce=off
mce=bootlog = Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus logs. If your BIOS does not do that it's a good idea to enable this log to make sure you log every machine check event that result in a reboot. On Intel systems it is enabled by default.
mce=nobootlog = Disable boot machine check logging.
mce=tolerancelevel (number from list below)
0: always panic on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
1: panic or SIGBUS on uncorrected errors, log corrected errors. Default is 1
2: SIGBUS or log uncorrected errors, log corrected errors
3: never panic or SIGBUS, log all errors (for testing only)
APIC Flags
apic = Use IO-APIC. Default
noapic = Don't use the IO-APIC.
disableapic = Don't use the local APIC
nolapic = Don't use the local APIC (alias for i386 compatibility)
noapictimer = Don't set up the APIC timer
no_timer_check = Don't check the IO-APIC timer. This can work around problems with incorrect timer initialization on some boards.
apicmaintimer = Run time keeping from the local APIC timer instead of using the PIT/HPET interrupt for this. This is useful when the PIT/HPET interrupts are unreliable.
noapicmaintimer = Don't do time keeping using the APIC timer. Useful when this option was auto selected, but doesn't work.
apicpmtimer=1 Either set to 0 or 1. Same as apicmaintimer=1/0. Do APIC timer calibration using the pmtimer. Implies apicmaintimer. Useful when your PIT timer is totally broken. Sometimes there are timer routing problems on some Nvidia and ATI chipsets. Assuming you're using 64bit then you can try apicmaintimer or apicpmtimer. On 32bit you can try pci=noacpi noapic. Needs testing.
disable_8254_timer / enable_8254_timer = Enable interrupt 0 timer routing over the 8254 in addition to over
the IO-APIC. The kernel tries to set a sensible default.
PCI Flags
pci=off = Don't use PCI
pci=conf1 = Use conf1 access.
pci=conf2 = Use conf2 access.
pci=rom = Assign ROMs.
pci=assign-busses = Assign busses
pci=noacpi = Don't use ACPI to set up PCI interrupt routing.
IOMMU is Input/output memory management unit Flags
Currently four x86-64 PCI-DMA mapping implementations exist:
1-4 consist of the following combined options:
1. <arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-nommu.c>: use no hardware/software IOMMU at all (e.g. because you have < 3 GB memory).
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: Disabling IOMMU"
2. <arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-gart.c>: AMD GART based hardware IOMMU.
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: using GART IOMMU"
3. <arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-swiotlb.c> : Software IOMMU implementation. Used e.g. if there is no hardware IOMMU in the system and it is need because you have >3GB memory or told the kernel to us it (iommu=soft))
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)"
4. <arch/x86_64/pci-calgary.c> : IBM Calgary hardware IOMMU. Used in IBM pSeries and xSeries servers. This hardware IOMMU supports DMA address mapping with memory protection, etc.
Kernel boot message: "PCI-DMA: Using Calgary IOMMU"
General iommu options:
off = Don't initialize and use any kind of IOMMU.
noforce = Don't force hardware IOMMU usage when it is not needed. (default).
force = Force the use of the hardware IOMMU even when it is not actually needed (e.g. because < 3 GB memory).
soft = Use software bounce buffering (SWIOTLB) (default for Intel machines). This can be used to prevent the usage
of an available hardware IOMMU.
iommu options only relevant to the AMD GART hardware IOMMU:
<size> Set the size of the remapping area in bytes.
allowed Overwrite iommu off workarounds for specific chipsets.
fullflush Flush IOMMU on each allocation (default).
nofullflush Don't use IOMMU fullflush.
leak Turn on simple iommu leak tracing (only when CONFIG_IOMMU_LEAK is on). Default number of leak pages is 20.
memaper[=<order>] Allocate an own aperture over RAM with size 32MB<<order.
(default: order=1, i.e. 64MB)
merge Do scatter-gather (SG) merging. Implies "force" (experimental).
nomerge Don't do scatter-gather (SG) merging.
noaperture Ask the IOMMU not to touch the aperture for AGP.
forcesac Force single-address cycle (SAC) mode for masks <40bits (experimental).
noagp Don't initialize the AGP driver and use full aperture.
allowdac Allow double-address cycle (DAC) mode, i.e. DMA >4GB. DAC is used with 32-bit PCI to push a 64-bit address in
two cycles. When off all DMA over >4GB is forced through an IOMMU or software bounce buffering.
nodac Forbid DAC mode, i.e. DMA >4GB.
panic Always panic when IOMMU overflows.
calgary Use the Calgary IOMMU if it is available
Early Console Flags, not sure if this exists in OSX
EX: earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200 OR earlyprintk=serial,ttyS1,9600
The early console is useful when the kernel crashes before the normal console is initialized. It is not enabled by default because it has some cosmetic problems. Append keep to not disable it when the real console takes over. Only use vga or serial, not both. Currently only ttyS0 and ttyS1 are supported. Interaction with the standard serial driver is not very good. The VGA output is eventually overwritten by the real console.
Timing Flags
notsc = Don't use the CPU time stamp counter to read the wall time. This can be used to work around timing problems on multiprocessor systems with not properly synchronized CPUs.
report_lost_ticks = Report when timer interrupts are lost because some code turned off interrupts for too long.
NUMBER can be:
0 = don't use an NMI watchdog
1 = use the IO-APIC timer for the NMI watchdog
2 = use the local APIC for the NMI watchdog using a performance counter. Note This will use one performance counter and the local APIC's performance vector.
When ,panic is specified panic when an NMI watchdog timeout occurs. This is useful when you use a ,panic=... timeout and need the box
quickly up again. EX nmi_watchdog=2,panic=20
nohpet = Don't use the HPET timer.
Idle loop Flags
idle=poll = Don't do power saving in the idle loop using HLT, but poll for rescheduling event. This will make the CPUs eat a lot more power, but may be useful to get slightly better performance in multiprocessor benchmarks. It also makes some profiling using performance counters more accurate. Please note that on systems with MONITOR/MWAIT support (like Intel EM64T CPUs) this option has no performance advantage over the normal idle loop. It may also interact badly with hyperthreading.
Rebooting flags, to control how the system reboots
reboot= b[ios] | t[riple] | k[bd] [, w[arm] | c[old]
bios = Use the CPU reboot vector for warm reset
warm = Don't set the cold reboot flag
cold = Set the cold reboot flag
triple = Force a triple fault (init)
kbd = Use the keyboard controller. cold reset (default)
Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check. Disadvantage is that not all hardware will be completely reinitialized on reboot so there may be boot problems on some systems.
reboot=force Don't stop other CPUs on reboot. This can make reboot more reliable in some cases.
Non Executable Mappings flags
on Enable(default)
off Disable
Debugging Flags
oops=panic = Always panic on oopses. Default is to just kill the process, but there is a small probability of deadlocking the machine.
This will also cause panics on machine check exceptions. Useful together with panic=30 to trigger a reboot.
kstack=N = Print N words from the kernel stack in oops dumps.
pagefaulttrace = Dump all page faults. Only useful for extreme debugging and will create a lot of output.
call_trace= [old|both|newfallback|new]
old: use old inexact backtracer
new: use new exact dwarf2 unwinder
both: print entries from both
newfallback: use new unwinder but fall back to old if it gets stuck (default)
Example of some flags from above that can help to get speedstep to work on a nonhpet AMD system with the ToH 9.2.0 SS kernel
apicpmtimer=1 notsc=1 nohpet=1 cpus=2
PLEASE feel free to post additional flags you know. I bet there are even more out there that I have not come across.
Also you can add all of these to a text file and place it in /usr/standalone/i386/BootHelp.txt. Then when you type ? in darwin all of these flags will be displayed on screen. Cool Uh. Thanks Superhai for that one!!

You could make this into a text file and put it into /usr/standalone/BootHelp.txt so it is available during boot (when using ?)
So you can access it in single user mode?
Or is there some way to get to txt files from darwin like typing ? might do to see available commands?

It is to use when you need it. It is in the same prompt where you would write the kernel flags.

To get kernel panics to post useful information, boot with kernel debug mode
Posted 21 April 2008 - 06:07 PM
You forgot the most important one!
To get kernel panics to post useful information, boot with kernel debug mode
THANKS iSkylla.. I added your flag to the list. Now its more complete then ever. MODS STICKY THIS ALREADY :-P
Posted 21 April 2008 - 06:13 PM
THANKS iSkylla.. I added your flag to the list. Now its more complete then ever. MODS STICKY THIS ALREADY :-P
Nice. That is probably one of the most helpful flags
Technically, all it does is remove graphical KP screen. Too bad we don't have NVRAM or we wouldn't need that.

The official list of debug flags from Apple. Table 19-1 lists and describes all the values you can use for "debug=". Most are only useful if you're programming something in the kernel or a kext. 0x100 is definitely the most useful one for hackintosh users.
Sweet, this will help a lot to. I made a few more changes to the list also incase anyone missed it. Now has a -l flag & few others. Not sure if it even does anything though on a hackintosh.
This is mega sticky worthy!!!
THANKS.. The mods told me there trying to find a place for this topic since they have so many sticky's. Should be up somewhere soon though.
I hope to get some feedback here on which one of these flags work and don't work on a hack. It appears there are some of them that only work if you have a hacked kernel and I would bet some that only work if you have the vanilla kernel although i bet very few.
Posted 23 April 2008 - 04:08 PM
Well, the kernel's whether vanilla or hacked are still using Darwin to boot so the flags should work.
This should be a sticky in alot of sections IMO.
True but some of the flags only affect the kernel and have nothing to do with darwin. They belong together for sure but maybe I should categorize the ones that only work with hacked kernels. Only problem is there is not enough feedback to know which ones do and dont. So far only the FSB ones seem to be hacked kernel only.
Posted 24 April 2008 - 05:38 AM
"Boot Graphics"=Yes = Yes or No. Use graphics mode or text mode when starting. Same as single user more flag -s.
It is not the same as -s. It turns off vesa boot graphics.
And I think separating the options for vanilla and modified kernels would be better.
Posted 24 April 2008 - 09:31 PM
When a noobie looks at the title, what would they see?
A bunch of cryptic non-sense.
It may make more sense to do away with the "intimidating" words and create a title meaningful to even the most noobie of noobs.
Such as,
"Troubleshooting and Diagnostic Messages","A Complete list of boot flags"
I dunno. Just a thought.
Posted 24 April 2008 - 10:28 PM

If you find it intimidating, then OSX86 is nothing for you. Buy a proper mac. Just a thought.
Posted 24 April 2008 - 10:45 PM
But either way, please note the quotes on the word.
Semantics aside, my point is that a new user — one eager to learn — is probably not going to understand what is contained in this thread just by looking at the title. We all know what value these flags have, but how about someone without such experience?
Does a noobie know what a boot flag is? Or the benefit they have in debugging a new kext install that seems to have fubar'd their system?
That's all I'm getting at, sir.

Posted 25 April 2008 - 11:57 PM
Well if they don't then once they start tinkering with it, they'll learn quickly.
Yeah I would agree. Noobies gotta learn somewhere. I would not no what to title this in order to get noobies to get it besides what it is already. But I'll think about it. Troubleshooting diagnostic messages would just be way to broad really. I'll try to adjust it some. Hager already did so now I dont know if I can anyway.
Posted 27 April 2008 - 05:56 PM
I think separating the options for vanilla and modified kernels would be better.
I looked into this and the only boot option I know of that is strictly hacked kernel only is the fsb ones. Do you know what other ones might be hacked kernel only?
I mentioned on the fsb flag that it is known only to work with hacked kernel.

The county's failure to officially authorize school boundary changes approved by government agencies and voters over the last two years has led to a snafu in the San Mateo County Elections Office, which has had to reissue ballots to 120 residents of four areas, including 38 in the Pacific Parc area of Menlo Park.
The problem came to light when a resident of the Pacific Parc area at 600 Willow Road, which had been annexed to the Menlo Park City School District in 2011, noticed that the ballot mailed to her didn't include the school district's Measure W bond measure.
She notified the county, and an investigation showed that ballots for the Nov. 5 election were issued based on old boundaries involving four county areas because the boundary changes had never gone before the Board of Supervisors for finalization.
As a result, the supervisors held a special meeting on Oct. 23 to order the boundary changes, allowing the Elections Office to send out new ballots.
After that Wednesday vote, correct sample ballots and official ballots were hand-delivered to the post office, according to Mark Church, the county's chief elections officer. "All affected voters are being notified by phone and email," Mr. Church said in an email the next day. Votes already mailed in won't be counted twice, he said, because "all ballots are bar-coded, and incorrect ballots will be set aside."
In addition to the 38 voters in Pacific Parc, 80 voters in the Fairmont Drive area in the mid-county, one voter of the Langley Hill area of Woodside, and one person from the Jackling Drive area of Hillsborough were affected. Fairmont Drive transferred from the Belmont-Redwood Shores elementary and the Sequoia Union High School districts to the San Mateo/Foster City and San Mateo Union High School districts in late 2011.
Mr. Church noted that Education Code Section 35765 "requires the Board of Supervisors to render an order to change the boundaries of the affected school districts" when a transfer occurs.
"I can only take action (to update boundaries for balloting purposes) upon proper notice and authorization as prescribed by the code," he said in his email.
Approval by the supervisors typically happens shortly after a transfer is approved by the appropriate agency or by voters, and it's not clear where the breakdown in the process occurred.

Showalter reflects on Jackson, '73 Athletics
By Rick Eymer / Special to MLB.com
OAKLAND -- Orioles manager Buck Showalter was in high school when the Oakland Athletics won their second straight World Series title in 1973.
The team was officially honored on the 40th anniversary of the championship Saturday with a sellout on hand for the occasion.
"I remember the light-colored uniforms," Showalter said before the game. "The coaches wore white hats. That [former owner] Charlie Finley was ahead of his time."
Finley championed the designated-hitter rule and also tried to get baseball to adopt a designated-runner rule.
Oakland and the New York Yankees are the only teams to ever win as many as three consecutive World Series titles. Reggie Jackson, who was in town for the pregame ceremony, was a big reason for both.
"I got to know Reggie when I was in New York," Showalter said. "We used to talk about those teams all the time. I thought some of the teams Tony [La Russa] had here were similar."
Teagarden dislocates thumb, likely going to DL
OAKLAND -- Orioles catcher Taylor Teagarden left Saturday's game with a dislocated left thumb.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, A's third baseman Josh Donaldson hit a foul tip that appeared to hit Teagarden's thumb or wrist. He immediately removed his glove and walked toward the Orioles' dugout.
"This is a freaky kind of injury," Teagarden said. "You never think it's going to happen to you until it does. Hopefully it will not last too long. He fouls it off, and it hit squarely on the tip of my thumb. A 92-mph fastball is going to win every time."
Teagarden said he would likely miss "several weeks," and that will mean a trip to the disabled list.
"They were able to put it back into place, and now it's a matter of a rehab process," Teagarden said. "We'll let it calm down and heal and then get it stronger."
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he will take a day or two to decide his next move. Steve Pearce is one of the emergency catchers and worked out in the bullpen before the game.
Matt Wieters, who began the day as the Orioles' designated hitter, took Teagarden's place behind the plate, and the Orioles lost their DH for the rest of the game. Pitcher Chris Tillman moved into the No. 9 spot, and he struck out his first and only time up.
Jones flashes some leather in Oakland
OAKLAND -- Adam Jones is harder on himself than Orioles manager Buck Showalter could ever be on him.
"Well, maybe that's a tossup," Showalter said.
Oakland can be a nightmare for visiting outfielders, and Jones has had his problems there. On Friday, as the O's beat the A's, 3-0, he also had the solutions.
He made several plays that helped keep the A's off the scoreboard. He thought he should have gotten to another one Thursday night.
"He wants to bring what he brings," Showalter said. "He takes pride in his defense and works at it. He doesn't take himself so seriously that he can't have fun. He's going to rob somebody of a hit."
O's batboy has brush with fire
OAKLAND -- An A's employee assigned to the visitor's clubhouse, who also served as the O's batboy on Friday, came forward Saturday after it was revealed that his uniform caught fire in the Orioles' dugout during the ninth inning of Friday night's 3-0 victory over Oakland.
The topic came up Saturday when several players started talking about it. Some players never knew what happened.
"I was trying to stay out of the way," said Colin, the batboy and a student at San Jose State. "I didn't even realize anything was wrong until I saw four or five guys laughing and pointing."
Colin, who was standing next to the heater in the dugout, could laugh about it, because there was no damage except to the pant legs of his Orioles uniform.
"You're not supposed to get warm by getting into the heater," said O's manager Buck Showalter, who showed genuine concern for Colin's well-being.
Worth noting
• Infielder Brian Roberts (right hamstring strain) has begun light jogging. He's been on the disabled list since April 4.
• Infielder Wilson Betemit (right knee sprain) has graduated from range-of-motion activities to pool activities.
• Right-handed pitcher Jim Johnson has converted a career-best 30 consecutive save opportunities dating back to last season.
• According to Elias, the Orioles have won a franchise-record 102 consecutive games when leading after the seventh inning.

With The Longboat Key Club and Resort's $400 million Islandside renovation and expansion project looming, members of the Longboat Key Town Commission are publicly expressing frustration and concern with the most important project the town has reviewed in years.
At the commission's Monday, Nov. 2 regular meeting, Commissioners Peter O'Connor and Robert Siekmann explained that their constituents have approached them to complain about their lack of involvement and lack of attendance at the recent Planning and Zoning Board Islandside public hearings.
"Is it still the recommendation of the town attorney that commissioners stay away from the hearings?" Siekmann asked at the meeting. "Because it creates a problem for sitting commissioners who are approached by residents who ask why we weren't at the meetings and why we don't care about this issue."
Town Attorney David Persson confirmed, again, that it's his recommendation that commissioners not attend the hearings.
"I prefer you not to attend," Persson said. "But I can't require attendance or non-attendance."
Commissioner George Spoll attended the planning board's initial hearings on the project in October, and Commissioner Jim Brown also attended a portion of the hearings two weeks ago.
Although Persson admitted the attendance issue is "a minor one," he explained he would like "to keep the moving parts down to a minimum."
Spoll defended his attendance at the hearings by saying he purposefully avoided any club presentations or discussions about the project over the last two years, but felt it was appropriate "to get the flavor of the town's public hearings," which he thinks will make him a better judge when the hearing is brought before him and his fellow commissioners.
O'Connor, meanwhile, expressed frustration with one particular resident, who sent an e-mail to the commission, urging it to impose a greater standard upon the planning board to increase the quality of the hearings.
"It's important to note there really are people who are criticizing us and asking us these questions," O'Connor said.
O'Connor also lectured town staff at the regular meeting for what he perceives as poor planning involved with the project hearings and future hearings.
O'Connor said he is annoyed that town staff has asked him to hold four potential dates in December and January open in case the commission can review the project on some of those dates.
"To hold open multiple dates because something may happen is getting a little overbearing," O'Connor said. "It's not to anyone's advantage to make this an overbearing task for the decision makers."
Jaleski agreed and asked why the commission was being asked to view the project so soon.
"What's the big hurry?" Jaleski asked.
A visibly annoyed Persson told the commission that the commission collectively requested him to set potential meeting dates.
"This is a quasi-judicial hearing that requires you to act as judges and give the applicant due process," Persson said. "I also can't be any more blunt by telling you that I don't like you acting as judges on an important project like this during election season."
Persson, however, said he will not know until after the hearings are conducted this week by the planning board if the commission can conceivably review the project in December or January.
"This is a huge project for the town to consider on a whole series of levels," Persson said. "And it may very well come to you in February."
O'Connor, however, urged the commission to pick a date for the commission to review the project instead of hoping that all seven commissioners will be available when the time comes.
"If any one of us fails to keep these days open, you can't follow your schedule," O'Connor said.
But Siekmann and Mayor Lee Rothenberg said the town attorney was doing everything in his power to move the process along, and there was a consensus to keep the dates open at this time.
"We have to hope for the best and wait it out," Rothenberg said.

Swedish Prosecutor Håkan Roswall announced his intent to press charges against The Pirate Bay before January 31, 2008, on the grounds that it is suspected of facilitating copyright infringement. Specifically targeted are five individuals associated with The Pirate Bay, only two of which are known at this time.
According to TorrentFreak, the two known individuals are TPB administrator Brokep a.k.a. Peter Sunde, and Swedish neo-fascist Carl Lundström, whose hosting company Rix Telecom once offered cheap bandwidth to the site.
The announcement appears to be a follow-up to statements made earlier this year by Roswall, who previously "vowed" to file charges against the infamous piracy site.
Rowswell expects that the charges will be backed up by evidence May 2006 raid that resulted in the seizure of 180 servers at TPB's hosting center and knocked the site offline for several days.
The Pirate Bay, however, does not think that Roswall will be successful in his attempts, as the site maintains that it is merely a search engine and does not actually host any of the infringing materials in question. Further, a recent leak regarding the May 2006 raid reveals that the Swedish police have little to no evidence in supporting Roswall's claims or any other wrong-doings.
Responding to Roswall's May 2007 statements, TPB administrator Tobias Andersson accused the Swedish police of needing to save face, noting that TPB "expected" to face charges. "Of course we don't think they will succeed," he said, "I think they feel they have to do it. It would look bad otherwise since they had 20 to 30 police officers involved in the raid … we will most likely be cleared as it is obvious that there is no copyrighted material on the site, there are just links to other places."
"Whatever the outcome, we will continue," said Andersson. "If we are outlawed in Sweden we will continue elsewhere. There will be no downtime."
For a brief time earlier this year, The Pirate Bay attempted to raise money to buy the tiny island nation of Sealand, supposedly to avoid any copyright-related prosecution, but quickly abandoned its efforts.


text: I don't think Will and Gary had a reasonable shot at winning, so I'm not surprised to see them go. They did complain sometimes, but when they did, it had to do with their own shortcomings, and they didn't blame the other racers, the locals, or even each other. Gary was even very understanding when Will had so much trouble blowing up those balloons.

I am very please to say that the new book – "101 Chillies To Try Before You Die" is now out and about, so far it has been getting very good reviews on Amazon.
A book like this takes about 3-4 months to write, I researched about 600 chillies varieties that was then narrowed down to the 101 required for the book, but many of the them get a mention in the text as there are lots of varieties with multiple names or that have been evolved into new varieties which all added to the story.
Working with this publisher, Cassell part of Octopus Books, was very simple, they mostly just let me get on with it, some chapters where dropped, so they will appear on this web site over time.
I would especially like to thank Joy Michaud from Sea Spring Seeds for her advice and help..
I hope you all enjoy the book, please feel free to add your reviews to the Amazon web page.

Winter market helps farmers in the cold
BENNINGTON -- Even when the days are short and their farms are covered with snow, local farmers have embraced new techniques to keep the Bennington Farmers Market stocked with fresh produce all winter long.
One of the few New England farmers markets that continue running through the winter, the Bennington Farmers Market (formerly known as the Walloomsac Farmers Market) has grown so popular that last year they upgraded the monthly off-season market to run twice each month. During the summer, the market takes place every Saturday and Tuesday at the riverside park on Depot Street in Bennington, and during the winter they move indoors to the First Baptist Church at 600 Main St.
Leslie Kielson, president of the market's board of directors and a vendor herself, said the market's off-season expansion has been a boon for the local food community.
"It has been great not only for the farmers, but really for all the producers, who are all smaller producers selling locally. It provides more of a steady income stream throughout the year, as opposed to just during the six months that we're outdoors," she said. "And, it's really a service to the community to be able to get fresh locally produced products, where they're buying directly from the producer."
John Primmer of Wildstone Farm in Pownal was similarly enthusiastic about the year-round market.
"The winter market now going twice a month has made a huge difference in our bottom line," he said.
Wildstone is one of three produce farms that continue to supply the market with fresh produce throughout the winter, along with Mighty Food Farm in Pownal and True Love Farm in Shaftsbury.
The farms use carefully monitored root cellars and coolers to store fresh root vegetables throughout the winter, as well as unheated high tunnels (or greenhouses) for growing fresh greens like lettuce, spinach and kale.
Primmer explained this high-tunnel technique is a relatively new idea, which has only become popular in this area over the past 10 or 12 years.
"It's based on the way French market gardeners grew things back in the 19th century around Paris," he said, "and a lot of folks have been adapting it for Vermont. Everybody's still learning, but we share our knowledge."
Because the greenhouses are unheated, Primmer said, they're often as cold as the outdoors. To protect the plants, he covers them once the outdoor temperatures drop into the 20s.
"The big challenge is finding a time to harvest. If it's cloudy and cold, you really can't harvest in the greenhouses," he said. "Once you peel back their covers, you're going to expose the plants to that cold. So, we have to read the weather ahead and time it just right."
Lisa MacDougall of Mighty Food Farm in Pownal, who has been selling at the Bennington market for seven years, explained the process of storing root vegetables in her coolers at just-above freezing temperatures allows her to sell carrots, onions, potatoes, winter squash, sweet potatoes, celeriac, turnips, rutabaga and more at the Bennington market.
"They're stored at 33 degrees in a pretty high humidity in the walk-in coolers," she said. "We have them stored in special woven plastic bags, and they're stored dirty. When we need them, we take them out and wash them."
"I definitely think that storing the vegetables dirty helps," she said. "It has been shown that carrots will have a higher sugar content. They stay really fresh. It's a matter of keeping the humidity in there, so the vegetables stay fresh, and then keeping it cold."
While the Bennington market's loyal local customer base loves having access to locally grown organic vegetables throughout the winter, the markets have also become important social occasions for the local community. Even in the winter, each market brings local musicians and special events, like a tool-sharpening demonstration happening Friday, March 14.
As the market prepares to move back outdoors in May, they've started to plan more regular events, projects and activities for children at the market, starting with their yearly tradition of collaborating with Bennington College students for special kids' events around Earth Day.
"It's great just to watch as people come in and see their neighbors, and other folks from the community, and they hang out and talk in small groups," Kielson said. "It definitely has a strong community feel."

Hey new here. I've been programming for a little bit with C++ under Linux and if you dont know when you compile something for Linux its pretty universal because all Linux distros use some version of the Linux Kernel.
Well for learning sake i want to start a couple projects under windows (which i dont use often). If i want to create a program to work with different versions of windows do i need to compile it under that OS or use certain options? I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express under Windows XP Pro x64. My goal is to compile a program to work under the newer versions of windows such as vista/windows 7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the week of Thanksgiving and Rico has become very quiet with maybe two or three vehicles on Main Street! The preschool and elementary students have the week off for Thanksgiving break, and they are nowhere to be seen. We think that our families are on their way to grandma and grandpas house for the holiday. The quietness actually reminds us of the year we arrived in Rico some twenty-plus years ago. At that time, there were approximately 75 year-round citizens, except when our longtime seasonal friends were in attendance and they added dozens more to the count.
When we arrived in town, we were fortunate to be able to learn of the early history of the area from the old-timers like Lucy Fahrian, Ann and Jim Ferando, Myron and his mother Jessie Jones, Kay and Dan Crane, Helen and Grady Leavell and the summer friends who had been residents for 50 to 60 years or more! (I forgot to mention the Carnahans.) There are many more old friends that I didnt mention, of course, and we will remedy that at another time, soon.
Our Rico Volunteer Fire Department received a call-out recently. A big-time rollover just up a stretch above the S curves beyond the town. It was a one-car accident, and the one male was airlifted to one of the hospitals either Southwest Memorial, Durangos Mercy Hospital or Grand Junction.
Over the weekend, we received a couple of inches of snow and the next day it was gone. It will come the question is how much longer will it continue to be football weather? I hear mention of the dryness of the area around here. It means that some are becoming just a bit concerned. It is a good thing that Telluride has snowmaking equipment! I do not know when the resort plans to open.
We hope all of you had a special Thanksgiving Day and continue to have a wonderful weekend. I wish that we could travel to grandma and grandpas house for Thanksgiving dinner like in the olden days. We have been fortunate that we could do that in days gone by.
Marlene Hazen has lived in Rico for two decades. An active member of the community, she participates in organizations such as the Rico Womens Club and Rico Historical Society.

In the second part of our sit-down conversation with THQ Core Game Executive Vice President Danny Bilson, we dig deep to find out how much stock THQ is putting into the Homefront intellectual property — a lot! — and what they are doing to merchandise the potential franchise.
Dakota Grabowski: Earlier you spoke about the transition in Hollywood with Jaws and Star Wars. A lot of that came with merchandising. What are you guys doing with Homefront with merchandising outside of the book?
Danny Bilson: Well it's a tricky one. It's what's appropriate for the property. I don't think action figures are necessarily appropriate for the property, although you never know. It depends how popular it becomes. We look at every property in terms of what makes the most sense for it and what ideas does it generate just by looking at it. I would love to see a mini-series set in the Homefront universe. I think it would be really great to see a film based in this world. It would be really interesting.
DG: Homefront, as many people have said, comparing THQ three years ago to now, is a big difference in terms of where you guys are heading with the movement of the properties. What's the focus of THQ beyond this?
DB: Building original IP is the focus for THQ. To build great, original, innovative experiences that are among the best in the industry. That's what this mission is all about. With that high quality and that kind of innovation will come revenue and the ability to make more, and make cooler stuff. In great success you can take more risks creatively and get back to your first question of more bold, innovative games. Although I think we've got some in the pipeline that are pretty bold and innovative, they are commercial also.
DG: In the last two or three years or even before that, THQ has relied on the licensing (Disney, WWE, now UFC). Is it safe to say these titles actually allow you to build titles such as Homefront based on the money they have earned?
DB: Well I don't think they make more money than I expect Homefront to make.
DG: You expect Homefront to sell as much as WWE?
DB: Oh yeah, absolutely. I expect it to sell more than WWE or UFC.
DG: A few studios are closing down in the US and moving to Canada, and making extra studios in Canada. What's Canada's importance to gaming and the gaming industry?
DB: Well I hope that we're not going to be closing any studios. I hope that this [Ubisoft Montreal] is just additional. In the states it's all based on the quality of what the studios are making and the success. However, this province in particular is giving us a tremendous financial advantage here. It gives us the ability to put more on the screen and make a bigger and better game for the gamers. That's really what it's about because if we can do that, they will buy more and see the value in their $60. $60 is a lot to ask from somebody for an entertainment experience, so it's our responsibility to give them the most value for their money. With the province supporting these games financially, it enables our money to go a lot farther and to make bigger and better games.
DG: Speaking to some Montréal residents that live here, they say that many of the studios that are based in Montréal employ a lot of French Canadians in the studio. Is that your goal, to employ more residents or to import more talent from outside?
DB: We are going to have 400 people here, so I think there's going to be room for everybody. All we want are the best game makers, the best veteran game makers, and then the best novice game makers to be trained by the veteran game makers. Obviously by locale a lot of them are going to come from Montréal and a lot of them are going to come from overseas. It just depends on what's going to give us the best games. As you know, one of our teams is going to be led by a Montréal native, Patrice Desilets, and he's got a lot of friends that may want to work with him. So there will be a lot of French Canadians here as well as Americans and people from the UK and from all over the world.
DG: With Patrice leading the one team, how important is it to have the second team led by a veteran?
DB: Extremely important.
DG: Have you guys already eyed somebody?
DB: I have a good plan but we haven't announced it yet.
DG: Thank you for your time Danny.

by Bishop Harry R. Jackson Jr.
God desires to lavish His mercy on the needy of the land.
The church's responsibility to address the plight of the poor is fundamental to biblical faith. From the Bible, we understand that God hears the cry of the poor. Israel's deliverance from Egypt is a powerful example of God's justice on behalf of the needy (see Ex. 2:23-24; Ps. 68:8-10).
Old Testament law structured the life of Israel so that the poor could be touched by His love. Many special privileges were given to the landless poor (see Deut. 23:24-25). In fact, every seventh year financially weakened neighbors were given large amounts of food with dignity. Exodus 23:11 says emphatically: "But during the seventh year let the land lie unplowed and unused. Then the poor among your people may get food from it" (NIV).
In addition, creditors were instructed to cancel the debts of their neighbors in the seventh year (see Deut. 15:1-2). This concept has made its way into American law. Our credit history in the United States is reported only in seven-year increments.
God desires to lavish His mercy on the needy of the land. Prov. 28:27 says boldly, "He who gives to the poor will lack nothing." Yet the verse doesn't stop there. It promises a penalty to those who overlook the needy: "But he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses."
I don't want the curses. I want to walk in the goodness of God that I see in Prov. 19:17: "He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given" (NKJV).
When talking about the needs of the poor, believers often quote John 12:8, "For the poor you have with you always," as a quick response to appeals for offerings earmarked for the needy. This statement on Jesus' part was not a cynical denunciation of the abilities of the poor. Jesus knew the hardness of men's hearts. His words reflected His recognition of the choices of men and society.
In contrast to man's priorities, God exhorts us to be generous. Jesus was quoting Deuteronomy 15:11: "There will always be poor in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land" (NIV).
Regretfully, our generation is not serious about reaching the needy. Let's face the facts; we have a hidden problem of poverty in our nation. Further, poverty is worse in minority communities. It works like this:
According to the Department of Labor, unemployment of those 16 years and older has risen 9 percent among whites, nearly 11 percent among blacks and 35 percent among Hispanics in the last 10 years.
In 2001, the Associated Press reported that the income of black and Hispanic college graduates lagged white income by 38 percent and 46 percent respectively. By most accounts, the overall poverty level is increasing as the middle class shrinks.
How do we stop the madness? A practical answer may be to follow the example of Dennis Bakke, an impressive evangelical businessman. In a press conference some years ago in Brazil, he expressed the purpose of his energy company, AES Corp.
The conference was held around the time of Mother Teresa's death. With godly inspiration Bakke placed the celebrated nun's picture on the podium and discussed his concept that businesses exist to help a community, not to strip it. The newspapers celebrated his speech, but the headlines read, "Christian or Communist?"
Bakke just shrugged off the criticism. He let the financial results of his "godly experiment" speak for themselves. Bakke's company yielded unprecedented growth, reaching $40 billion in assets, with revenues of more than $10 billion per year before he sold it in 2002.
The kingdom of God needs four partners to reflect God's love toward America's poor--government, business, church and individual people.
Let's be kind to the poor and watch the Lord repay.

Meet The GRAMMY.com Community Blogger: Tech
(For a complete list of 54th GRAMMY Awards nominees, click here.)
My name is Liz Burr and I am a social media junkie. It all started 10 years ago when I began writing online. I love to write and so I thought I would memorialize and share my writing online. Through blogging, I've met a lot of people I would have never met any other way. A few years later, as social media began to grow, my love for blogging turned into my love for social media. With the advent of social networking, I had new ways to meet people and communicate with them.
These days, I find myself limiting my exposure on social networks rather than sharing every waking moment of my life. It's a personal choice, so if you're the kind to share every moment — that's OK! And if you're shy about sharing your life online, that's OK too. It's all about finding the right balance for you.
My love for music goes back to when I was a child. My mother used to dance around the house with me to Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. I would later become a member of the choir at church and school, as well as play in my school band from elementary through high school. Some of my friends think it's a bit nerdy to be proud of my (mild) musical accomplishments, but I'm thankful my parents taught me how to appreciate music — as a listener and performer. I suspect this made me a well-rounded person and more adept in other areas of my academic career.
Now that you know my background, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite technology platforms for listening to, discovering and consuming music. Right now, Spotify is my application du jour — I was so happy for its U.S. launch in 2011. I love Spotify because it lets me try out music before purchasing it, and I can send tracks to my friends. I've loved Pandora for a while, and I notice people use it in unique ways. I remember the time I was at a nice restaurant and discovered it was using Pandora to power the music for the restaurant. I love to use Pandora on-the-go, and it works great in the car. While I'm still getting into Google Music (I have a huge music library to sync!), it looks promising and useful. I am always very dedicated to my Last.fm account as it helps me keep track of all my favorite music and provides some interesting data about my listening habits. A hot application I have yet to try is Turntable.fm. My friends call me "DJ Liz," so this application sounds perfect for me. I'll be checking it out soon.
My love for music, technology and social media intersect as I participate in the GRAMMY.com Community Blogger program. This is my third year as the tech blogger for The Recording Academy, and I am excited to be here! Every year, the GRAMMYs outdo themselves with the show and their use of social media, so I know this year will be the best yet!

Improve your short game - Session 5
Practice Session 5 - Basic Pitch Shots
Back in the second week we practiced the chip shot, a shot that stays low to the ground and rolls like a putt. That shot is good for situations where you have space between yourself and the hole with no obstacles forcing you to carry the ball in the air.
Unfortunately, we are not always so fortunate to have that situation. Sometimes you must hit the ball in the air around the greens – for example, to carry the ball over deep rough or a bunker. With the proper setup and basic motion through the golf ball, the pitch shot will become a useful shot in your arsenal.
With your setup, you should do the following to maximize your natural athletic ability:
- Use your normal grip at the normal placement on the club
- Take your stance with your feet just inside of shoulder-width and have the ball set in the middle of your feet
- Your hands should be slightly ahead of the ball, making the golf club lean slightly towards the target
- Your weight should be slightly favoring your front foot, creating a slight lean towards the target
The golf of the basic motion for the pitch shot is to have the bounce of the wedge hit the ground slightly behind the ball and continue through impact to a full finish. I like to describe the feeling as the golf club sweeping the grass through impact.
The bounce of the wedge is your friend on this shot. It is designed to keep the club moving through the turf without catching. Your setup helps expose the bounce so the club slides through the turf and hits a high, soft pitch shot.
Practice Drill – Bucket Drill
Setup a bucket as your target. Place five golf balls at the following distances: 10 yards, 15 yards, 20 yards, 25 yards, and 30 yards. Your goal for this drill is to fly as many pitch shots in the bucket as you can from each distance.
At first it should be very difficult to make even one pitch shot. As you keep practicing this drill, you should improve at making shots or at least hitting the bucket with your attempts. Remember, this drill will improve your distance control with practice, but not even the best players in the world can consistently make them in the bucket!

May (Japanese: ハルカ Haruka) is a ten-year-old Pokémon Coordinator from the anime and a former traveling companion of Ash. Her goal is to compete in Pokémon Contests and win Ribbons, win the Grand Festivals of the different regions, and become a top Coordinator. She traveled through Hoenn and Kanto with Ash, Brock, and her little brother Max. She is the daughter of Norman and Caroline, and her starter Pokémon was a Torchic given to her by Professor Birch.

Advance Generation SeriesCoordinator who loves shopping and eating treats. She has a particular fondness for food, especially noodles. When someone steals her food, she gets angered, to the point of yelling at people. May is generally very sweet and optimistic, though she shows a tougher side sometimes, such as when she argues with her little brother, Max. Even though they argue often, she has shown that she deeply cares for her brother.
She sometimes takes an interest in helping other people with their romantic problems. She loves making her own Pokéblocks with recipes that she thinks up, including ones called "May's Purple Surprise" and "May's Pink Surprise" (Japanese: Haruka's Delicious and Haruka's Delicious 2). The only ones who liked her Purple Surprise were her Munchlax and Jessie. "May's Pink Surprise" came from the recipe for food Professor Oak uses to feed Ash's Snorlax. Thus, after May first fed it to her Munchlax, it was automatically made full. This was subsequently used to feed Munchlax to prevent it from eating the food of others.
It was revealed by Max in A Cacturne for the Worse that as a small child, May was afraid of Pokémon. There was one instance in particular that truly embarrassed May. One day she was swimming in the ocean and was suddenly surrounded by a school of Tentacool. May got scared and called to her parents. She was wearing a blue swimsuit and a matching blue swimmer's cap, leading her mother to believe she was actually a Tentacool. Her mother tried to catch her with one of her Poké Balls. One of May's opponents in a Contest recorded Max telling him this to embarrass May into losing.
When May debuted in the anime, she did not like Pokémon at all and was only interested in becoming a Pokémon Trainer so she could travel. Everyone expected her to become a Trainer, to follow in her Gym Leader father's footsteps. However, after seeing a Contest in All Things Bright and Beautifly!, she decided to become a Pokémon Coordinator. Though she was initially shown to not know much about Pokémon or attacks, she gradually gained experience through her journey and soon became a talented coordinator, with her skill being displayed in her Grand Festival rankings in the Hoenn and Kanto regions. Dawn once referred to her as the "Princess of Hoenn" when they met.
As a Coordinator, May was able to learn more about Pokémon. For her Contests, she was able to come up with different attack combinations. She was able to use these combinations in battle. An example of this would be using her Combusken's Fire Spin and her Squirtle's Bubble to create a combination of fire and water, dubbed Fire and Water Whirlwind by Lilian. This even got a rival of hers mad, thinking she thought he was not worthy of the move so May did not use it against him.
During her journey, she finds a rival in Drew, a skilled and sometimes arrogant Coordinator who was one of her main inspirations to try harder to further her skills. Another rival of hers, Harley, is a flamboyant man who goes to extremes to beat May. At the Kanto Grand Festival, May competed against Solidad, an experienced Coordinator to whom she lost to in the semi-finals. At the end of the Advanced Generation series, she left to compete with Drew, Harley and Solidad in the Johto region, aiming to find her own style. May has Contest Passes to compete in Hoenn, Kanto and Johto.
Diamond and Pearl Series
May reappeared from Our Cup Runneth Over! to Strategy With a Smile! to participate in the Wallace Cup alongside Ash, Dawn and Zoey. During this period, she wore the Emerald Version of her outfit. May made it all the way to the finals of the Wallace Cup, but narrowly lost to Dawn in the end.
May has a personal ending theme song, I Won't Lose! ~Haruka's Theme~, performed by KAORI. It was first used as background music in the episode Curbing the Crimson Tide and again in next episode, What I Did for Love. The theme was also used in the Appeals Round at the Wallace Cup for May's performance.
At the beginning of her journey, May was extremely unsure of herself as far as her abilities as a Pokémon Trainer were concerned. In the beginning, she was only interested in the traveling aspect of the Pokémon journey. However, with Ash and Brock's guidance, along with Max's knowledge and assistance, her ability to handle Pokémon got better as her journey continued. The Pokémon she acquired on the course of this journey appear to resemble Pokémon that Ash had obtained at some point at the beginning of his own journey. She prefers cute Pokémon, dazzling techniques, and has a tendency to rely on luck, often using her Skitty's Assist or her Munchlax's Metronome to win.

Caraballo trial: Prosecution attempts to build its case against alleged killer
BRATTLEBORO -- For the U.S. Attorney's Office, It was a day of building a foundation to the case against Frank Caraballo.
Jurors heard from a mobile phone salesman, three hotel operators, a forensic chemist, a Vermont State Police detective and a gun shop manager, as Assistant U.S. Attorneys Paul Van De Graaf and Joe Perella attempted to outline the scale of the drug operation Caraballo directed in and around Brattleboro for the two years leading up to the death of Melissa Barratt, who Caraballo is accused of murdering.
In addition, the prosecution played profanity-laced jailhouse recordings between Caraballo, his brother Michael Caraballo, his mother and the mother of his child.
But jurors also got a view on what drugs can do to a person when they heard from two witnesses who have pleaded guilty to engaging in a conspiracy to distribute drugs for Caraballo.
Caraballo, 31, of Holyoke, Mass., stands accused of shooting Barratt on July 29, 2011, in the woods off of East West Road in Dummerston. According to court documents, Caraballo suspected Barratt, who was allegedly distributing cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin for him, of stealing a safe from him containing thousands of dollars of drugs.
Caraballo is currently serving a 16-year sentence for conspiracy to distribute drugs.
Though early testimony on Thursday was dry and technical, when Toni Lynn Fontaine took the stand to describe her dealings with Caraballo, the testimony changed to the up close and personal.
"I'm an addict," she told the jury, and had been one since she was sexually assaulted when she was 16 years old.
Since then, Fontaine told the court, she has struggled with drugs. In 2011, she said, she began to purchase drugs from Caraballo and eventually received cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin to sell for him.
Though no cash was exchanged up front, said Fontaine, she was expected to make a payment when she had sold everything he had given her and before she got more to sell. Eventually she ended up owing Caraballo money, said Fontaine, because she was using more of the drugs than she was selling.
"He was a little bit upset. Like a father when you're in trouble."
As a way of evening up her debts with Caraballo, she told him her boyfriend had stolen a gun he might be interested in. Caraballo agreed to accept it in lieu of payment for the drugs she had consumed, said Fontaine.
"My debt was clear. He wasn't angry."
Under cross examination, Fontaine admitted that as part of her plea agreement with the federal government, she agreed to cooperate in its prosecution of Caraballo.
"Do you hope you will receive a lower sentence?" asked Natasha Sen, who with Mark Kaplan, is defending Caraballo in district court in Rutland.
"I don't know what will happen, but obviously I hope to get less time," responded Fontaine. She said it was her understanding that cooperating meant staying sober and being honest in court.
The charges against Fontaine could result in up to 20 years in prison. While the prosecutor can ask that U.S. District Court Judge Christina Reiss take Fontaine's cooperation into account, it's up to the judge to levy the sentence.
Fontaine, 26, told the court she had complied with a rehabilitation program and was currently on methadone to help her stay sober.
After lunch, the prosecution called Douglas Radcliffe to the stand.
Radcliffe, who has been incarcerated since January, also reached a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office in return for agreeing to cooperate with the prosecution of Caraballo. He said he agreed to "tell the truth" in accepting the plea deal.
He also could be sentenced to up to 20 years for helping Caraballo to distribute cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin.
Radcliffe, 31, said he had started using drugs when he was 14, but has been clean since March of this year.
He met Melissa Barratt at the Phoenix House in Brattleboro in 2006, where they were both receiving treatment for drug addiction. Though Radcliffe was able to stay sober for a short time after he was released from the program, he admitted he relapsed before reentering a treatment program in 2008. He relapsed again in 2010, mostly using cocaine and crack cocaine before progressing to heroin.
In March of 2011, he was put in touch with Caraballo and agreed to distribute drugs under a similar deal offered to Fontaine. Radcliffe said he received drugs from Caraballo at several locations in Brattleboro: At the corner of Canal Street and Clark Street, in the parking lot of Gouger's Market on the corner of Canal Street and Elm Street, and in what he called a "crack house" next door to Gouger's Market.
Eventually, as with Fontaine, Radcliffe began using more of the drugs than he was selling.
"The business relationship got real rocky," said Radcliffe, and he tried to avoid Caraballo.
In July of 2011, Radcliffe said he owed Caraballo about $1,800 and about that same time Caraballo told him he was "having a beef with somebody" and his brother was "going to bring a gun up to burn."
Caraballo's brother, Michael, is currently serving a 12-year sentence for conspiracy to distribute crack cocaine. Michael Caraballo was also accused of engaging in a drive-by shooting in Brattleboro in March 2011 in which no one was injured. Those charges were dropped when he agreed to plead guilty to drug conspiracy charges.
In other conversations with Caraballo, Radcliffe concluded only one of two people could have stolen the safe from him in July 2011, and one of those was Barratt.
Radcliffe told the court that he had worked as a confidential informant off and on for the Vermont Drug Task Force and also admitted that he had drugs smuggled to him in prison shortly after he was incarcerated in January.
Recently he was transferred to the Cheshire County House of Corrections in New Hampshire and has been sober ever since, said Radcliffe.
During cross examination, Kaplan attempted to impeach Radcliffe's testimony by pointing to the plea agreement, the fact that he used drugs while in prison and that he was willing to be "a professional cooperator or snitch" in return for favoritism from the legal system.
Kaplan said Radcliffe had a history of "shifting the blame" to avoid getting in trouble for his own behavior.
"You had police arrest two other people who did your time," said Kaplan.
Radcliffe insisted that while he was a confidential informant, he didn't use drugs, but Kaplan pointed out that while he might not have been using drugs during the two buys he conducted for the task force, he did use drugs while still under official contract with the state.
The court was adjourned and will be out today but will reconvene on Monday.

Sunshine and slow warming should prevail over Orange County for the rest of the week, the National Weather Service says, with high clouds and modest cooling returning for the weekend.
The shifting patterns are the usual tradeoff between high- and low-pressure air. A low-pressure system that brought chilly nights – overnight temperatures again dipped into the 30s in parts of Orange County – is on its way east, while high pressure over the eastern Pacific is making itself felt.
A pair of low-pressure systems, meanwhile, could help bring a few degrees of cooling by Saturday.
That means mostly sunny skies for most of the week, and just plain sunny skies Thursday.
Highs should increase gradually: 55 to 60 Tuesday, then inland highs of 69 Wednesday, 73 Thursday and 71 to 76 Friday.
On the coast it's 62 to 67 Wednesday, 64 to 69 Thursday and 65 to 70 Friday.
Winds could gust to 25 mph Thursday, mostly near the foothills.
For the weekend, combined effects of low pressure over eastern Pacific and the Pacific northwest could bring high clouds to Southern California, though forecasters say most of the subtropical moisture sending clouds our way should remain well to the southwest.
Saturday should be about 72 inland and 63 to 68 on the coast, Sunday 69 inland and 64 on the coast, with partly cloudy skies both days.
Monday looks partly cloudy as well with inland highs of 68 to 73, 63 to 68 on the coast.

The same virus that caused the death of 19 monkeys two years ago also infected humans, according to a new report in PLoS Pathogens. In May 2009, 23 titi monkeys at the California National Primate Research Center in Davis became sick with an adenovirus, a large DNA virus that commonly causes respiratory infections in humans and various illnesses in other animals, but was not known to jump between species, ScienceNOW reports.
"It's always been thought that adenoviruses are not likely to be causes of outbreaks or pandemics because they have never been known to cross between animals and humans," lead author Charles Chiu, director of the UCSF–Abbott Viral Diagnostics and Discovery Center at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), told Nature.
But while searching for the source of the outbreak, a research team from the University of California, San Francisco, found that a lab worker and one of her family members, who never came in contact with the monkeys, had both become sick with the virus—demonstrating that the virus can also infect humans. It is the first time an adenovirus has been documented to cross between animals and humans, though scientists still do not know if the original host of the virus was humans, monkeys, or another organism.

Cincinnati Reds 4, San Francisco Giants 2: Giants throw this one away
You could point a lot of areas where the Giants fell short Wednesday in Cincinnati.
You could mention that after scoring 4 or more runs in their first 10 road games, the Giants have gone back-to-back games without scoring more than two.
You could point that the Giants were only able to score two runs despite collecting nine hits and one walk in five innings off Bronson Arroyo.
Or you could question Bruce Bochy's decision to send Barry Zito back out to the mound for the seventh inning after sitting right at 100 pitches through six innings.
But the bottom line was that the Giants could have won this game if they could simply throw and catch the ball.
After Zito gave up a leadoff homer to Scott Rolen in the seventh, Clay Hensley was summoned from the bullpen and gave up a single to Ryan Ludwick.
Ryan Hanigan tried to bunt Ludwick to second. If Hensley throws Hanigan out to first, the Giants could have escaped the inning with the lead.
Hanigan would have been out No. 1 one. Then Willie Harris' infield pop up would have out No. 2. Then Wilson Valdez's fly to right, after a walk to Drew Stubbs, would have ended the inning.
Instead, Hensley fielded the ball and slipped as he took a look at second. But he didn't reset his feet as he threw to first and sailed it over Emmanuel Burriss' head and into right field.
Now, there's second and third and none out. Harris' pop is out No. 1 and a walk to Stubbs loaded the bases.
Nate Schierholtz caught Valdez's fly and threw home to get Ludwick trying to score. But catcher Hector Sanchez could not come up with the ball and Ludwick scored the tying run as the other runners moved up. Schierholtz was charged with the error, even though it was dead on the mark. Sanchez just whiffed the one-hopper.
Then Jeremy Affeldt came in and threw a wild pitch that allowed Hanigan to score the go-ahead run. Joey Votto's double to center completed the four-run rally.
- The error-filled seventh (and lack of offense) wasted Barry Zito's third quality start in four starts. He gave up 1 run on five hits in six innings. His season ERA is 1.67. The Giants couldn't ask for more.
- Pablo Sandoval went 1 for 4 to extend his season-opening hitting streak to 18 games.
Ryan Vogelsong takes on Homer Bailey at 9:35 a.m. Thursday. If the Giants can win, they'll go home with a 4-3 road trip. Good enough, all things considered.
