Defining the allocation of initial values to the data flash area (CC-RL)
Last Updated:05/10/2017
I am using the CC-RL compiler for RL78 devices. How can I define the assignment of initial values to the data flash area?
To define the allocation, use #pragma section to name an allocation which is different from the default when defining const constants (as an array), then specify the address of the section with the -STARt option of the linker.
Note that you also need to specify the -NO_CHECK_SECTION_LAYOUT option of the linker when allocating a section to an address in data flash memory when using V1.02.00 or an earlier version of CC-RL.
When you set this option, you need to use a map file to check the consistency of the address information since it selects no checking for consistency of the address information for sections.

|CS+ (formerly CubeSuite+)

University of Southern Cal. students, help!
I'm trying to structure an undergraduate curriculum that pays heed to USC's admission requirements, but their website info is a bit general, and I was wondering if anyone could help elaborate...
At their school website, USC states: "...Satisfactory completion of the following college level classes; statistics, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, anatomy, physiology, physics and English."
I'll have anatomy, physio, microbiology, English, and statistics under my belt (as is the usual curriculum), but I was wondering, how much of inorganic, organic, and biochem do I need? A semester of each...a year of o-chem...etc? Also, For physics, will an introductory course suffice, or does it have to be with a lab component? Any clarification is greatly appreciated!Last edit by arubi25 on Oct 28, '06

I am also applying to USC. I contacted them about the physics class. I think the web site said it didn't have to have a lab. I am taking a basic physics class online. I e-mailed the course description to the office manager and she said it was the right course. I would try them if you have any questions. They were very helpful with my questions.Oct 27, '06Thanks for replying, Jma. I'm glad a basic physics course with suffice.
Do you know how much of inorganic, organic, and biochem I need? I'm assuming these are all separate courses, and not just concepts covered in a general chemistry class.Feb 23, '07Physics can be VERY basic, i did this distance course and it was so easy and usc accepted it .....http://continue.utah.edu/detail.php?...d=PHYSCRSP1010 just double check because that was 2 years ago.
Also, your courses from you bsn should include all of the standard chem courses required of sc.Mar 14, '07For the "biology" component listed in their prereqs, is that microbiology, or is that a separate college-level bio course in addition to micro?
Also, the chem courses required for my BSN are chem 410 (inorganic) and chem 420 (organic/biochem). These are, of course, different from the chem courses a premed would have to take. Is that similar to what you took, too, miloisstinky?Mar 20, '07Arubi,
no one in my class, including myself, had to take any additional chem courses, they were all covered by the BSN, several of us did have to take physics, which i guess is not standard with the BSN. This is sufficient, email Dr. Gold, the director if you have very specific questions, she is great and quick to respond.

A former UKIP parliamentary candidate has recorded her second parody song to promote the Brexit campaign in the upcoming referendum.
Mother of two Mandy Boylett, the unsuccessful UKIP candidate for Stockton North at the 2015 General Election, has a history of producing musical videos to promote Brexit. Most famously she recorded a parody of the football anthem, 'Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)' , which she renamed 'Britain's Coming Home'.
Now the aerobics and pilates instructor has turned her hand to Pink's pop classic 'Get The Party Started' to promote Brexit, and it is every bit as good as her fans will have expected.
Mrs. Boylett told Teeside news website Gazette: "I wanted to get across a message that would be universally appreciated. I wanted it to be lighthearted and just thought I'd have a bit of fun.
"I don't think that many people will even know who [EU Council President] Donald Tusk is."
She was referring to the lyric in her parody which mentions the President of the European Council as well as President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker:
Donald Tusk is freakin' as we're voting Leave fast,
Telling Mr. Juncker, you'll be kissin' my ass!
Thanking UKIP for indulging her musical parodies, she added: "I think the Tory party would tell me to shut up."

|Your time is up!
Foom, known by very few others by his real name, Viktor Durchenko, is a Lin Kuei assassin born in Novosibirsk, Russia (a major city in Siberia) who served alongside others such as Sub-Zero, Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor. His talent was speed, which he could focus into concussive blasts. He can also perform time travel due to the ability to tear through the time barrier, directly related to his mastery of speed. Eventually he was forced to escape the Lin Kuei to avoid being transformed into a Cyber Ninja and going into hiding by traveling back in time. Once Foom realized that Sub-Zero had later taken back the Lin Kuei, he moved on to that timepoint to continue his existence as a continued member of the Lin Kuei.
- Sonic Boom: Foom's signature move. He spreads his arms wide to the sides and then brings both of his arms crashing together at such an incredible speed, they are nearly undetectable. Where they crash into each other, a sonic boom is created, firing out a long ranged shockwave projected towards his opponent.
- Drunken Shots (Cossack Form Only): When in his cossack form, he will throw his arms, fingers wide open, in opposite directions until they are spread wide; at this point he will squeeze his fists together and launch a long ranged shockwave in both directions. Although weaker than Sonic Boom, they will change the speed they are traveling completely at random, making them more difficult to properly dodge. This ability replaces the Cossack's Sonic Boom.
- Haven't Got All Day: Using his mastery of speed and therefore his mastery of time, Foom launches a shockwave from his body that temporarily speeds up time significantly, making time move twice its normal speed.
- Czechmate (King Only): When in his king form, he will forgo increasing the arena's speed to instead immediately appear behind his opponent and cleave upwards into them with the large but ancient and dull blade he carries around with him, sending them flying as if hit by an uppercut but with ramped up force, leaving them to ricochet heavily between ceiling and floor several times before coming to a complete stop. This replaces King's Haven't Got All Day, and complements his otherwise slower speed in comparison to the other forms.
- Savor the Moment: Using his mastery of speed and therefore his mastery of time, Foom launches a shockwave from his body that temporarily slow down time significantly, making time move half its normal speed.
- In A Flash (Noir Only): When in his noir form, he will put one hand on the wrist of the other and quickly squeeze the fingers of that wrist together and opening it again, creating a blinding flash due to having trapped air in his hand and causing a miniature sonic boom. This will temporarily blind his opponent should they have been facing towards him during the attack. This replaces Noir's Savor the Moment.
- AFK (Away From Kombat): Foom quickly leaps through a portal in the opposite direction of his opponent, only to teleport back in from behind his foe a split second later. Interestingly however, his visual appearance is randomly switched between 5 different variants of himself: his normal Lin Kuei outfit, a Cyberninja form, a great king, a noir version of himself, and a cossack-like outfit. Each of these versions of Foom fight the same, with the only real non-aesthetic difference being they each have a unique special move unique to them, which replaces on of the regular form Foom's moves.
- One Inch Punch: From a close range, Foom can suddenly drop his mass and thrust his extended palm so hard into his opponent as to knock them across the arena.
- Mach Driver (Cyberninja Form Only): When in his Cyberninja form, he will drop down to the floor to perform a typical Lin Kuei slide, but jet rockets will appear and send him careening across the arena at top speeds. This ability replaces the Cyberninja's One Inch Punch.
- Brings Back Memories: Foom stands still and moves one arm so quickly that it travels through time, and seemingly disappears into a rift. A split second later he pulls it back into the modern time with himself, throwing a random object at his opponent in an arc. The distance the object travels depends on what item it is, which is random and fills several roles (useless, small, medium, large, very large) for numerous timelines (prehistory, dark ages, industrial revolution, modern era, near future).
- Sonic Delay: Foom powers up a large concussive blast and fires it at his opponent, but it seems to peter out before reaching the intended victim. They soon wake up and prepare to battle, with Shao Kahn beginning to announce the next round with a "Round 3/Round 4. Fi—!" before the attack suddenly starts again, blasting the victim with a massive dose of sonic energy, completely glibbing him and interrupting Shao Kahn. Shao responds with simply a surprised, "Oh. ...Foom wins! Fatality!"
- Time Travel: Foom grabs a hold of the victim and speeds off until he breaks the time barrier, reversing time and running through a time warpzone before tearing back through the barrier into a primitive environment. Without skipping a beat he lets go of the victim and keeps running, quickly tearing back through the time barrier and departing. Within seconds, his opponent comes to and looks around before looking up and screaming as a tyrannosaurus rex chomps down on him, obviously ending his life.

I hate behavior-based interviewing.
Although we are the first-person narrators of our own lives, we are unreliable and often get our stories wrong.
For example, I met one of my very dear HR friends for the first time on the streets of New Orleans in 2009. When I was introduced to this woman, she was drunk and slurred her words. Behind her back, people were openly talking about her life choices — including her choice in relationships. It was cringeworthy.
So I pulled her aside and said, "I know you don't know me, but people are talking about you. Uh, right now. They're saying stuff. And your life is no one else's business. You might want to keep things private. And you should probably head back to your room. I'm sorry. Fuck them, but really, it's time to head out of here."
Boom. Just like that.
Or was it like that? This woman — drunk or not — does not remember the specifics of that encounter. She only remembers thinking, "God, Laurie is tiny."
That's how she tells the story.
"I met Laurie on the streets of New Orleans. She made no impression on me except that she was really short."
Then we officially met again the next day at our conference.
This encounter reminds me that reality isn't a fact. While I am the first-person narrator of my life and I am pretty confident about my perspective, I am hardly a reliable narrator. In fact, I always appear more level-headed and calm in my stories than I am in real life. I know this. And I know that your story as a human being — and as a job seeker — is also unreliable. You see things a certain way; however, just like everyone else, you are flawed and you bring ego to the table.
So I bristle at behavior-based interviewing. When someone gives me an example of a time they were courageous at work and took an unpopular stance, I know it's a mere snippet of what really happened. And while past behavior probably gives us some insight into future performance, many of us don't understand our past behaviors well enough to represent them correctly.
Self-actualization and true self-awareness are lovely goals — but they are also myths. Just when you think you've reached a point of enlightenment, you are doomed. Just like Sisyphus, that rock rolls back down the hill and life demands you start over again.
My advice for HR professionals:
- Consider alternatives to behavior-based interviewing. Good storytellers have a certain competency that makes their narratives compelling. Doesn't mean they can fit into your organization or help your company achieve its goals. And don't assume that you can discern truth from fiction.
My advice for job seekers:
- Practice your narrative and make sure it's true. Did you really save the company $50MM in one fell swoop? Did you really make an unpopular but heroic decision that separated you from the pack of animals in your office? Are you really as generous — and do you really love and forgive people as unconditionally — as you think you do?
As a job seeker and a regular person, my favorite answer to an open-ended question is simple. I say, "I don't answer open-ended questions. Obviously I'm about to tell you stories where I am interesting and amazing. Is there something specific you want to know? Go ahead and ask that."
That response has never let me down.
You can get away with it, too.

soundSCAPE invites applications from performers on violin, viola, cello and double bass. Performance participants will coach with members of our string faculty, including violinist Mark Fewer. We encourage applications from pre-formed string quartets (or other groups). These groups will receive commissions written for their ensemble, to premiere at the festival.
Advanced performers (familiar with contemporary technique): Focus will be on performance practice and issues of music already prepared as well as exploration of the most challenging of repertoire with score study, performance classes and lessons culminating in a studio recital.
Beginner performers (new to contemporary technique): Focus will be on group classes to familiarize the participant with the execution of most extended techniques as well as to introduce repertoire that employs these techniques and discourse on the learning process and performance practice. These participants can perform in the studio recital if they wish.
In addition to the solo work, participants will join in the rehearsing and performance of new works for chamber ensembles, either discovering first hand what it is like to work with a composer to bring a new work to light or lending their experience to the piece and the composer.

How to Improve Your Posture With a Foam Roller
Proper posture -- keeping your body parts in alignment, balanced and supported -- helps prevent back pain and allows proper functioning of your muscles, joints, lungs and other organs, says chiropractor John Schubbe. A foam roller, a long, circular device made of dense material, can help improve posture by stretching tight muscles in the chest and shoulders and strengthening abdominal or core muscles.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Spread a mat or towel on the floor and position the foam roller lengthwise on top of it.
Step 2
Sit on the lower edge of the foam roller with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor.
Step 3
Lie back slowly, supporting your spine and head on the foam roller. Keep your knees bent.
Step 4
Relax your shoulder blades and rest your arms on the floor on either side of your body.
Chest Stretches
Step 1
Take a deep breath, expanding your diaphragm.
Step 2
Exhale, flattening your abdomen and pressing your back against the foam roller.
Step 3
Breathe in and out, stretching your chest muscles as you inhale, for one to three minutes once or twice a day.
Shoulder Exercises
Step 1
Straighten your arms toward the ceiling, palms facing and fingers reaching upward.
Step 2
Relax your shoulder blades, squeezing the roller between them.
Step 3
Reach upward again, then relax, repeating each motion slowly five to 10 times.
Core Strengtheners
Step 1
Place your left arm on the floor next to your body and raise your right hand over your head.
Step 2
Raise your left arm over your head as you lower your right arm to your side.
Step 3
Alternate raising and lowering your arms slowly 10 to 15 times in succession.
Step 4
Place both arms at your side, feet flat on the floor and knees bent.
Step 5
Raise one leg slowly off the ground, then lower it.
Step 6
Raise the other leg off the ground and lower it.
Step 7
Alternate lifting and lowering one leg at a time, 10 times in succession. Repeat for two to three sets of 10.

Formerly known as East China Institute of Geology, East China Institute of Technology was founded in 1956 inTaiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It moved to its present location -- Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province in 1959.
Today, ECIT is a comprehensive university with 23 departments and 1,500 professors, associate professors and instructors. Two of them are prominent members of the ChineseAcademy of Engineering.
The Institute offers over 50 undergraduate and 13 graduate programs in the following fields: Earth Science, Hydrology, Surveying, Civil Engineering, Material Science, Water Resource Management, Environmental Science, Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Applied Chemistry, Life Science, Economics, Business Management, Law, Chinese and Foreign Languages Study, Arts, Mathematics, Physics, etc. Some of the programs are directly funded by the Chinese Ministry of Education for their excellence.
ECIT has three campuses: two in Fuzhou, a city with a 2100 year history, and one in Nanchang, the capital city of JiangxiProvince.
ECIT is home to more than 20,000 students. They come from all over China, carrying with them a diversity that further enriches their educational experience. ECIT takes pride in the fact that its graduates have consistently earned outstanding reputation in their chosen fields of work and many have taken on important posts in government, business and academic institutions.
ECIT is known for its excellence in its innovative ways of teaching and learning that help students better prepare for their future careers. Its flexible credit system encourages students to acquire knowledge from other disciplines and its lab technicians work seamlessly with professors to provide timely lab projects so that students learn to handle real world problems. Coming from an engineering school, ECIT emphasizes hands-on practice and has been working closely with industries to provide its students with much needed opportunities of internships.
ECIT realizes the importance of scientific research vis-à-vis teaching and invests heavily in research facilities and projects. It operates 11 research institutes in the following areas: Uranium Geology, Geophysics, Hydrogeology, Hydro-Geochemistry, Industrial Chemical Analysis, Isotope Hydrology, Remote Sensing, Computer Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Nuclear Fuel Circulation, and Life Science.New facilities and equipments are being added constantly.

ECIT prides itself in its state-of-the-art facilities for its students. All three campuses are inter-connected with advanced computer networks and its high speed Internet access is supported by dedicated fiber optic cables connecting offices, classrooms and even student and teacher dormitories. Broadband wireless access is also available in many hot spots on campus, making ECIT a cyber-learning center. To make learning even more convenient, ECIT has built three libraries; each campus has one of its own.They are open to students and faculty members alike. In addition, each department has its own special library, with collections on its specialized subjects. ECIT has one of the largest GeologicalMuseums in the country, and a Uranium Deposits Exhibition Hall, both popular places for our students to visit.
The main campus in Fuzhou, with its extensively landscaped gardens, is widely acknowledged as the most beautiful campus in JiangxiProvince. Many acres of natural park, trees, lawns, lakes and birds have created an oasis in the heart of a burgeoning city. From its theatre venues to its colorful extracurricular activities and its first class sports facilities, ECIT has combined learning with culture and relaxation providing a balanced environment essential for academic success.
Presently, ECIT is taking giant strides to advance its research and reach out to the outside world for cooperation and collaboration. From Fuzhou to Nanchang, from East China Institute of Geology to East China Institute of Technology, ECIT has traveled a long way. The future is yet to come.

The Daily Herald surveyed 10 suburban departments, and found four of them are running at least one person short of authorized staffing levels. In some towns, this means ambulances and other firefighting equipment sometimes sit unused in the station.
Manpower is also crucial because a specific number of firefighters are needed to employ the best technique for fighting certain kinds of fires.
Another impact is bigger, better-staffed departments are called more often by neighboring communities for help. In Naperville, for instance, the city provided mutual aid 106 times in 2012 and received it only 22.
"We want to help our neighbors," said Naperville Chief Mark Puknaitis. "We understand that at times, we're kind of like the big brother in the area here; we have to give more than we receive."

These kinds of terms that those of us – especially those of us who were born and raised in the South – we've been hearing these little words and phrases all of our lives and we get insulted by them. Susan Rice is as competent as anybody that you will find…. It certainly caused a big problem with me. I don't like those words. Say that she was wrong for doing it, but don't call her incompetent. That is something totally different. A lot of very competent people sometimes make errors, and to say that she erroneously did it, I don't have a problem with it. But to call her incompetent, a PHD Rhodes Scholar, being called incompetent by someone who can't hold a candle to her intellectually. By someone who said, and Senator McCain called her incompetent as well. But he told us that Sarah Palin was a very competent person to be Vice President of the United States. That ought to tell you a little bit about his judgment."

I just wanted to share with you all, my neighbours and potential robbers:
Since playing from around a week before the steam launch, I now finally have a house that I think will last to the upper game. There is still room for expansion, and it is already pretty solid. I've loved this game since day one, but only today have I gotten over the 'hump' that has been hassling me. Thank you, everyone who's died to my wily traps so far.
PS: The one thing that has gotten the most kills in my house so far, is a pitbull with no commitgate before it, that people can just turn around from and leave the house, but instead decide to walk right into it. Thank you, Rollo, my favorite dog.
Want to show us the map?
Fortress Theory Mod - New objects, tools, and paintings!
I keep dying of a natural cause - Stupidity
The biggest thing that Castle Doctrine has taught me is that the price of your house is proportional to the stupidity of the mistake that kills you.
No but if you want to find me my value is currently 8400ish and as you enter there is a concrete wall spanning from top to bottom of the map, giving you a choice of up or down. I will give you a starting hint and tell you to go down.
Pro Tip; You actually need to go top.
Actually the top has the pitbull that everyone walks into and all it's doing is protecting my now dead family. The bottom has a commitgate.
As that last thing was written someone killed my last surviving family member, my son, so there is no longer a pitbull at the top. Will probably cost me quite a few kills.

put a new one back! people love a red herring
No I needed the space. Anyways, I got robbed during the night, but started out successfully robbing a 10k house so I should be able to build something good again. I feel like I've finally 'cracked' this game.

My Kitchen Rules – As Predicted This Was A B Grade Semi
This is controversial but who fries custard? Custard dipped in breadcrumbs, however apparently people cook it.
The other outrage was the standard of cooking in this semi-final where Kane and Lee were competing against Ann-Marie and Nick.
Both desserts looked pretty ordinary in my opinion. Ann-Marie and Nick's was fried custard with raspberries, and the Victorian teams was a dry looking orange and hazelnut cake.
The producers need to rethink the semi-format as it is a travesty that the second best menu presented over the two nights is not in the finals.
Also while the producers are tweaking the show can they flick Tobie Puttock who seems like a nice guy but he is dull, or as @sixinchheels on twitter says "lacklustre". How about putting a critic in like Simon Thomsen on the panel, as he acquitted himself well on Iron Chef Australia.
Ann-Marie and Nick had their usual babe rapid fire going, and I had to laugh at a comment by regular commenter Culinary Boner giving his interpretation of how the word babe is used.
He wrote:
I am thinking of a submission to the Macquarie Dictionary along the following lines:-
Babe. n. alt meaning colloq, South Australia only… used ironically to mean "dumb arse", instead of the normal colloq meaning of "hot-stuff". Appears there are rules though that apply locally with the frequency of usage for this slang term. Said more than 5 times, the meaning shifts to "fuck knuckle". More than 10 times it becomes "listen here C#NT!!"
Ann-Marie and Nick cooked rolled up whiting, most of the time Nick spent skinning the fish for a garnish, which elicited quite a few babes from his wife. For main it was veal and dessert was the fried custard, which looked particularly unattractive on the plate.
Kane and Lee's crab larb looked great, but I thought the ribs were a bit simple but Karen Martini did gush over them. The mandarin garnish on their dessert should have resulted in instant elimination at this stage of the competition.
But then Kane and Lee have managed to stumble and bumble their way into the grand final. They got through two eliminations, and just when you thought they would be going, Kel and Ash had to withdraw from the show.
I still don't think they can beat Sammy and Bella, but then on the previews tonight it looked like Bella implodes.

I agree with all your comments RR. CB's interpretation is spot on and I think BDD is being given a run for his money! These two should be in cahoots creating their own blog page. Or cult, even.
- 2 scruffnkelsmum { 04.12.11 at 10:23 pm }
yeah, it's a bit sad that the "winner" tonight was not a patch on last night's runner-up.
still wanted Stefania & Daniela in the grand final with Bella & Sammy….sigh
- 3 AT { 04.12.11 at 10:38 pm }
should have mentioned this earlier but i think one of the titles for mkr blog posts should have "babe" in it given how overused it was on mkr by SA couple…like "a babe-grade semi"…something like that
- 4 Liberty { 04.12.11 at 10:43 pm }
Anyone know why they're still serving up 9 portions of each when only 3 hit the judges table and 1 or 2 to Sammy and Bella? Surely they're preparation and cooking time could have been more efficient if they'd cooked less. We certainly didn't see them choosing the "best looking" dishes for the judges etc.
Would love to see Stefania and Daniela with their own show! They annoyed the cr@p out of me but they were funny! Don't care who wins. Bring on Masterchef.
- 5 Chris { 04.12.11 at 10:44 pm }
It seems so unfair!!! They weren't nearly as good as Stephanie and Daniella last night. This was definately B Grade cooking, last night was really good…. Not Happy!!!!!!
Go Sam and Bella….
- 6 Jasmin { 04.12.11 at 10:55 pm }
RR I agree, the semi-final format is bad with even Kane saying that their score didn't beat last night's runner up team.
I know it's the editing, but the judges didn't say a bad word about Ann-Marie and Nick's dishes, until the scoring section where they doled out sixes and sevens. I thought Kane and Lee's lack-of-crunch soft shell crab and manky mandarins were going to cost them the final.
Ann-Marie and Nick's entree and main definitely looked more professional.
Still wish that the dishes were scored in stages (entree, main, dessert) instead of one overall score.
- 7 Tenina { 04.12.11 at 11:59 pm }
As I watched the bumbling idiots tonight, I thought that all four semi finalist pairs should have waited for scoring at once. Top two go through, no matter that they have cooked against each other already…bring it on, bigger better finals. Then the Italian girls could have been there cheering on the sidelines as well. Apparently there is hell to pay in the final anyway, so why not have the best of the best, not the best and the doubtful best!

I was really enjoying MKR in the early stages of the show, (especially the home restaurants) but have found it more and more difficult to get excited about, to the point that I haven't really watched any of the final stages. I've been keeping up with whats been happening on here.

how do you have a team into a final, when they scored less points then the team in the night befores semi???
Just is not right.

I missed the part shown in the preview where Anne-Marie was claiming something was a '2-minute job' and Nick said it wasn't. Which particular job was that actually referring to?
I thought Anne-Marie and Nick would get it, but somehow Kane and Lee slipped through again. The finale has to be an inevitable Sammy and Bella win. The previews are trying to lead us away from that by showing Bella crying but I still think they should win and will win. Maybe its only a quick cry and she gets straight back into it, sort of the insect drama in NT. She was crying then and still got straight back into the cooking.
EDIT: Just read an article in the Daily Tele online, saying that the tears are because they changed their menu 5 minutes before starting and so she just walked out and had a melt-down as soon as they started filming. No explanation as to why they changed their menu so last-minute.

I thought the cake dessert looked super lame. Most small kids can cook a cake. And cutting it into 3 bits didn't improve it for mine.
The ribs looked delish, but the little pile of rice with it was fairly dull.
I thought the fried custard looked amazing, but then I love custard, fried dessert and raspberries, so it would be a win win win for me! Much harder than a bit of cake too.
I thought the whole squash was risky – I've never seen them cooked whole.
And I thought the 9 plates was 5 for the judges and 4 for the other contestants.
I'd have liked to see them replicate their home restaurants for the final – showing how they have improved with all their practice.
I could do without Toby Puttofk too, but the dark haired judge is very good value.
- 13 PollyB { 04.13.11 at 10:48 am }
Seepi, I like the idea of going back to their homes. We should see them in their homes more than once.
I was wondering about all those plates too. Only 3 go to judges table and 1 to Sammy & Bella I think (to share). So what happens to the other 5?
- 14 Anonymous { 04.13.11 at 11:39 am }
PollyB (and others), thanks for the appreciation. I can't speak for BDD (or even Soukraut), but I kinda like the idea of heading up a cult and having countless acolytes to massage my feet with oil and fetch me beer from the fridge. Unlike Altiyan, though, I'll draw the line at teenaged girls (and their sex-starved mums). Sorry to disappoint you young 'uns, but shouldn't you be throwing themselves at Justin Beiber instead of lousy old blokes? I also kinda like the idea of a cult uniform as this seems to encourage the blind obedience I'd be expecting. Reckon the Orange People are a good starting point. I spent most the early 80s in awe of how an ageing 'sex guru' who'd been severely beaten by the ugly stick, in this case the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, could convince younger, much better looking people to so freely give their time, money and genitalia. What ever happened to them? Did the sect have to close down due to a lice plague?
- 15 Culinary Boner { 04.13.11 at 11:40 am }
Oops, that was me posting above.
- 16 PollyB { 04.13.11 at 1:00 pm }
LOL re the Bhagwan. Was wondering only last week where he got to!
CB, although I find your wit and intelligence, and BDD's (and Sour's, on a sweet day!), highly attractive, the blog fits best with me. Temptations of the flesh, and all that. Although, do you have a spare 1/2 mill? That could be tempting.
- 17 Culinary Boner { 04.13.11 at 1:27 pm }
No PollyB 'fraid not on the spare 1/2mill. Seems you're getting the Cultmaster role mixed up with that of the followers. Aint I the one who gets the money so I can continue to the 'spread the good word' or whatever it is us Cultmasters do in lieu of having a job. I'll make it easier for you and other potential cult members who appear to be setting their standards too high anyway. The only "non-optional" duty is getting my beer from the fridge (oh, and paying a daily tribute of a case each). Any woman of reasonable looks over the age of 35, with necessary high tolerance for heavy rock, can join. Bring your own lice.
- 18 Clover { 04.13.11 at 1:58 pm }
It's irrelevant where the other plates go – if last night's two semi-final teams didn't have to plate up the same number as the previous semi's teams they'd have an unfair advantage.
- 19 brain dead dave { 04.13.11 at 2:00 pm }
I've fantasized occasionally about having a blog page but then I think about types like Culty Kezza dropping in and stinkin'the place up.Thanks Polly B.
Speaking of cults ,there's going to be some Masterchef preambles with Gary and George on the 7PM project and hopefully a gawk at this year's cannon fodder.
- 20 brain dead dave { 04.13.11 at 2:06 pm }
In fact I could use a cult leader right now to decide for me what to watch tonight. MKR or Biggest Loser?
It's not every day you get to see a whale abseiling down a Tasmanian skyscraper.
- 21 davsimp { 04.13.11 at 2:47 pm }
Angelsg86, the "two minute job" was supposed to be Nick scraping the rest of the whiting off the skin so the skin could then go into the oven, crisp up, and be used as a garnish. He had already told her the prep of the fish was going to take him a while but I guess he couldn't be heard over the cacophony of slamming pot lids and her whispery sweet voice crooning "babe"
Brain Dead Dave, watch the final of MKR then watch Biggest Loser online. Please note, this is just a suggestion and not me putting my hand up for esteemed position of cult leader.
- 22 davsimp { 04.13.11 at 2:59 pm }
And if you really want to be spoilt for choice, there is the masterchef online launch as well:
- 23 brain dead dave { 04.13.11 at 3:07 pm }
I'd love to do that Davsimp, but my computer moves slower than Damien Challenor.
Was that a glorified Stanley knife Nick was using to fillet those whiting? Why not cook the fish with the skin on it ,then it should peel of a lot easier? Or is that declassee?
Anyone see the poor Sushi Bar owner that Ramasay tore to shreds on Kitchen Nightmares last night? Storing mayonnaise at room temperature after being a chef for a couple of decades. Hilarious.
- 24 PollyB { 04.13.11 at 5:22 pm }
CB – As Cultmaster Alt Manson easily dispersed 1/2 mill, mused you may be so inclined! BTW, I qualify re a little heavy rock OK, and definitely fit the age, alas for you there would be no wench duties fulfilled.
BDD – I saw Ramsay last night. Yeh, chef had lost his soul, I felt sorry for him as in no small way that wife was a mix of Mel and Ann-Maree!
- 26 Culinary Boner { 04.14.11 at 2:02 pm }
PollyB, thanks for clarifying policy on my cult's entry requirements. Pity, as wenching duties are requisite. You see I'm keen to emulate the following – http://pulpcovers.com/the-cult-of-the-seven-wenches.
(Gotta love this lurid contribution to book covers, which very aptly sums up the ideal cult from this bloke's sadly delusional perspective – "The cult was a sex lure which netted big money…They had it made in more ways than one.")
Just like Alts and Mr Gold, I will purposefully shoot for stars with bum planted firmly in the gutter.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY – As of 4 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 22, Middlesex Water Company issued a boil water advisory for residents of Fords, Avenel, Woodbridge Proper sections of Woodbridge Township and the Clara Barton section of Edison Township due to a broken 16-inch water main on Route 35 which caused service interruptions and loss of water pressure.
Customers are being advised to boil their tap water used for drinking for a period of one minute, not including the time it takes to come to a complete boil, let cool, and to do so before drinking over the next 48-hours. Customers should boil their water for one minute for the following: drinking, cooking or baking, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula or food, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets and all other consumption. Water does not have to be boiled for the following activities: showering, washing dishes or clothes.
Individuals with severely compromised immune systems, infants, or the elderly may be at increased risk and should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. General guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Middlesex Water crews are working to restore water service to the area, however in the interim, customers may experience lower than normal water pressures. Customers seeking more information may call the company at 1-732-634-1500 or check the company's website home page at www.middlesexwater.com.

The effects of winds and/or waves on ship motions, forces, moments, maneuverability and controllability are investigated with URANS computations.
The air/water flow computations employ a semi-coupled approach in which water is not affected by air, but air is computed assuming the free surface as a moving immersed boundary. The exact potential solution of waves/wind problem is modified introducing a logarithmic blending in air, and imposed as boundary and initial conditions. The turbulent air flows over 2D water waves are studied to investigate the effects of waves on incoming wind flow. Ship airwake computations are performed with different wind speeds and directions for static drift and dynamic PMM in calm water, pitch and heave in regular waves, and 6DOF motions in irregular waves simulating hurricane CAMILLE. Ship airwake analyses show that the vortical structures evolve due to ship motions and affect the ship dynamics significantly. Strong hurricane head and following winds affect up to 28% the resistance and 7% the motions. Beam winds have most significant effects causing considerable roll motion and drift forces, affecting the controllability of the ship.
A harmonic wave group single run seakeeping procedure is developed, validated and compared with regular wave and transient wave group procedures. The regular wave procedure requires multiple runs, whereas single run procedures obtain the RAOs for a range of frequencies at a fixed speed, assuming linear ship response. The transient wave group procedure provides continuous RAOs, while the harmonic wave group procedure obtains discrete transfer functions, but without focusing. Verification and validation studies are performed for transient wave group procedure. Validation is achieved at the average interval of 9.54 (%D). Comparisons of the procedures show that harmonic wave group is the most efficient, saving 75.8% on the computational cost compared to regular wave procedure. Error values from all procedures are similar at 4 (%D). Harmonic wave group procedure is validated for a wide range of Froude numbers, with satisfactory results.
Deterministic wave groups are used for three sisters rogue waves modeling. A 6DOF ship simulation is demonstrated which shows total loss of controllability with extreme ship motions, accelerations and structural loads.

North Carolina slips past Duke behind Cannizzaro's game-winning goal in OT
DURHAM, N.C. -- Kara Canizzaro scored four goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to lead No. 3 North Carolina to a 12-11 win against No. 6 Duke at Koskinen Stadium on Friday.
With the win, the Tar Heels won their 10th game in a row and improved to 10-1, 3-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference play this season. Duke fell to 9-2, 2-2 ACC. Carolina has won eight of the last 10 meetings in the series, including two of the last three meetings in Durham.
Canizzaro scored the game-winning goal with 3:30 to go in the extra period. Carolina goalkeeper Lauren Maksym made a big save with 11 seconds to play in overtime and Brittney Coppa drew a charging foul with two seconds left to preserve the victory.
Cannizzaro had four goals, two ground balls and three caused turnovers in a fine all-around game. Coppa had two goals and an assist for Carolina, adding two ground balls and three draw controls.
Freshman Sammy Jo Tracy scored twice and Taylor George, Aly Messinger, Jessica Griffin and Devin Markison each scored once. Abbey Friend dished out two assists.
For Duke, Makenzie Hommel scored four goals on six shots. Kerrin Maurer tallied two goals and an assist and Maddy Morrissey and Taylor Trimble both scored twice. Kelci Smesko had a goal and an assist and Brigid Smith added one assist.
It was a game of runs, with Duke jumping out to a 4-1 lead in the first 10 minutes of action, only to see Carolina score four in a row to take a 5-4 lead. After UNC took a 7-5 lead in the first four minutes of the second half, Duke scored four in a row to take a 9-7 advantage. The Tar Heels then posted a 4-0 run of their own to take an 11-9 lead with 11:27 to play in regulation.
Coppa opened the scoring just 1:05 into the game with an unassisted goal, driving from the top of the arc for a 1-0 lead at 28:55. Duke then put together a 4-0 run to take a 4-1 lead. The Blue Devils tied it just more than a minute after Coppa's goal on an unassisted score by Hommel, then Morrissey gave the Blue Devils a 2-1 lead with a goal at 26:29. Maurer's goal, off a pass from Smith, put Duke up 3-1 at the 25:38 mark. Hommel's second goal came at 20:38 and made it 4-1.
Cannizzaro broke the Duke run with an unassisted goal after a foul just outside of the eight-meter arc, making it 4-2 Duke at the 17:54 mark of the first half. George scored Carolina's consecutive goal at 14:22, wrapping around the cage from the right side and poking it in the net to make it 4-3 Duke. Coppa scored her second unassisted goal at 13:56 to tie it at four. Markison gave the Tar Heels the lead once again with UNC's fourth goal in a row, this one off a pass from Friend at 11:56 to make it 5-4.
Hommel's third goal of the night stopped the Tar Heel run with 1:59 to go until halftime, knotting the score at five. That score held until halftime. In the opening half, UNC outshot Duke 13-10, had five ground balls to Duke's three and controlled seven draws to Duke's four.
In the second half, Tracy picked up a rebound in front of the net and was fouled, leading to her free-position goal at 29:32 that put Carolina ahead 6-5. Messinger made it 7-5 by wrapping around the cage, faking and scoring from point-blank range with 26:04 to go.
Morrissey scored her second goal of the night on a free-position try with 23:56 to cut the Tar Heel advantage to 7-6. Maurer's second goal of the game came just 26 seconds later after Duke won the ensuing draw, tying it at seven. Duke's third consecutive goal came from Trimble, off a pass from Maurer and put Duke ahead 8-7 at the 22:01 mark. The Blue Devils got their fourth goal in a row, Hommel's fourth of the night, at 19:15 to take a 9-7 lead.
Cannizzaro took a pass from Friend and scored with 18:17 left to stop the 4-0 Duke run and pull Carolina within one goal at 9-8. Griffin scored unassisted on a drive from the top of the arc with 17:34 left to tie the score at nine. Cannizzaro made a stop-and-go fake and scored with 14:38 to go, putting UNC ahead 10-9. Tracy's second goal of the night was a man-up goal with 11:27 left that put Carolina ahead 11-9 and forced a Duke timeout.
The Blue Devils responded with a goal by Smesko to stop the 4-0 Tar Heel run and cut the UNC lead to 11-10 with 10:41 to go. A few minutes later, Smesko passed to Trimble off a free-position try for a goal to tie it up at 11.
After Emily Garrity caused a turnover with 2:05 left as Duke tried to clear the ball, UNC called timeout to set up the last shot. Duke forced Cannizzaro to give up the ball, however, and Friend's last-second shot was saved, sending the game to overtime.
In the extra time, Cannizzaro's fourth goal put UNC ahead 12-11 at the 3:30 mark of overtime. Following the break to switch ends of the field, Carolina won the draw and slowed the tempo to protect its lead as the clock ran.
An errant Tar Heel pass gave Duke the ball with 50 seconds left, which led to a Duke timeout with 30 seconds to go with the ball in the UNC end of the field. After the timeout, Hommel drove and shot but Carolina's Maksym made the save with 11 seconds to play.
Duke had one more try, but Morrissey was called for a charging foul against Coppa with two seconds to go, essentially ending the game.
Maksym (10-1) made six saves in the cage to pick up the victory for Carolina. Duke's Kelsey Duryea made 15 saves at the other end.
UNC outshot Duke 33-19 and held a 13-7 advantage in ground balls. Carolina also dominated the draw 18-9.

Wishing everyone the best of health in 2013!
Good luck with your new year's resolutions too
Thank you to everyone for your support over the years!
Steve and Kellie
Since the current My Blood Pressure is Version: 3.1 build 307 (released on the 12th January 2010), could you please clarify whether development is permanently stalled, or whether improvements/updates are in the works.
Even small improvements are helpful, such as the ability to store the report-printing parameters and avoid the need to re-enter them each time. Thank you.
Maxim Bohlmann, Ph.D.
It was been 3 years now since the last update to Blood Glucose. Are going to see anything soon. I love the program.
My husband is now on insulin two times a day. One at dinner and the other at 10:00 PM It would be nice to keep track of Blood Sugar at each meal. Maybe I just need more time. I have used this program for a few years and it makes it so easy to show the Dr. what is going on.
Thank you

In fiscal 2011, state adult protection workers determined that abuse and neglect probably had occurred in about 28 percent of cases they investigated involving residents of Kentucky's long-term care centers.
That is up from fiscal 2010, when workers substantiated probable abuse in 18 percent of investigations involving long-term care residents, according to a report from the state.
"These are very disturbing statistics, and they reinforce the fact that we've got to get serious about elder abuse in nursing homes in Kentucky," Bernie Vonderheide, founder of Kentuckians for Nursing Home Reform said.
The data comes from an annual report compiled in part by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, titled Elder Abuse in Kentucky. The report says social workers conducted 2,090 investigations of adult abuse and neglect in nursing homes, assisted-living homes and other long-term care centers last year. Abuse and neglect probably occurred in 583 investigations, according to the report. Multiple investigations can involve a single resident.
In fiscal year 2010, adult protection workers conducted 2,048 investigations of adult abuse in long-term care centers. The report released last year said abuse and neglect probably occurred in 368 investigations. The state fiscal year begins each July 1 and ends June 30.
The number of cases investigated went up 2.1 percent from 2010 to 2011, but the number of substantiated cases went up 58.4 percent, according to a Herald-Leader analysis of Cabinet data.
Cabinet spokeswoman Anya Weber said Friday that an increase in adult abuse reports is probably related to the aging population "as well as the increase of statewide education efforts about how to recognize abuse or neglect and the state's mandatory reporting law.''
"An increase in substantiations can be expected, but it can also be attributed to greater attention to these cases because of specialized adult protective services training and APS-focused investigation teams in the Department for Community Based Services regions," she said.
Weber said APS training curricula were implemented several years ago, but a renewed effort has been made to increase staff participation since Gov. Steve Beshear's recommendations for nursing home reform were released in September 2010. The Adult Protective Services investigation teams that began in 2007 are evolving, she said.
Beshear's recommendations came after he asked then-Cabinet Secretary Janie Miller to conduct a review of state policies on abuse and neglect in nursing homes. The review followed a series of articles in the Herald-Leader in 2010 that showed gaps in the system Kentucky officials use to investigate elder abuse at nursing homes.
This is the second year that the report has included statistics on state investigations of alleged abuse in long-term care centers.
The report is a joint venture of the Cabinet and the Kentucky Elder Abuse Committee. A discussion of the 2011 report is on the agenda of the Elder Abuse Committee's September meeting in Frankfort. The committee includes representatives of state agencies, industry groups and advocates.
The elder abuse committee, which is required to meet by law, had languished in recent years.
It was revitalized as one of 20 recommendations Beshear issued.

There are three key technology rules when it comes to applying to college:
1. If at all possible, use the college's online application, and ask their tech support for help the minute you run into a problem.
2. Create a new email account just for the messages that will be sent to and from colleges.
3. Clean up any and all social media pages you have.
Students understand the first two with no problem. College applications need to be clear, clean, and thorough, so it's important to make sure you're uploading your college essays, not your prom pictures.
Ditto for a new email account. Email be old school to you, but this is how most colleges contact you, even once you enroll. This makes it easy to keep track of college contacts, and it's probably all for the best colleges not know your personal e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com
But try and talk the pluses of website maintenance, and students are convinced their counselor roamed the Earth with dinosaurs. The insist colleges don't care about social media accounts, and are too busy to check them -- to prove it, students will ask colleges if they look, and the colleges will say no.
Fair enough -- except when I asked a college if they looked, their answer was "Do you really think I'd tell you if we did?"
Play it safe. Rough language, risky pictures -- even having an account under another name -- can hurt you and anyone else who's in those questionable photos with you. Once you've tidied up yours, ask your friends to take anything off their pages that makes you look iffy. After that, search for yourself on the web, and see what's there. You might not need to address it or be able to do anything about it, but it's better for you to know before the colleges do.
And even if the colleges don't look, they sometimes find out in very remote ways that can do serious damage...
(Based on a true story that happened somewhere else.)
Joanna thought she was all that
She knew she was a winner
A 3.9, a 32
The gal was no beginner.
Took five APs and tutored, too
Her homework was a snap
Spent most nights on the Facebook page
Just dishin' out some smack
She posted pix of homecoming
Her folks would see as knockouts
But dog, they'd never seen them, since
Her FB page was blocked out
You can't imagine her surprise
When her counselor said "Yo lady"
I got a call from East Coast U
The news will make you crazy!
The U was ready to admit
When in arrive their intern
'The buzz is all on Facebook, man
These pics will make your hands burn.'
The intern loaded up the page
Of some homecoming hijinx
And in the photo, there was you--
Which made our rep do eye blinks.
"They saw your picture once or twice
And thought they'd overlook it
But then they read your FB smack
And that's what really cooked it.
Your essays were all erudite
And very nicely tailored
But then they saw the real you
Has language like a sailor.
They read your app and loved you, girl,
It's you they were admittin'
But now they said they just can't take
A profane party kitten."
So dudes and dudettes, hear me out
Few colleges go lookin'
But if FB vibes come their way
That just can't be mistooken
Your full ride dough, your dream admit
Are goin' down the tank, sir
And all because you tried to be
A bad-selfed Facebook gangsta.

Oh my good god...
Steam, I love their sales!
So, my name's Dan.
I Love art, and suck at it.
I'm a huge pessimist, which means that I think I suck at everything, who knows? I may very well do!
Anything I'm good at means "It's easy & Anyone can do it", and that's that. Want to know more? Then drop me a line here, on deviant Art (Le-Girafe-Noir) or train doves to deliver small notes to and from set locations, nickname one 'Andrew', attach a message to it's talon and set it off in a random direction in hope that it finds me.
I also personally feel I should add...
I LOVE GAMING, with a passion, 14 years running baby!
That is all.

Oh my good god...
