Thanks, Big Bear Butt Blogger, for suggesting another theorycraft post. Now everybody knows who to blame… (Very Evil Grin).
OK, folks, I mentioned doing some logging in other posts, and got graciously reminded that I skipped step one for a few of you. Since I've also run across some updated info to the other posts, we're off. As you can tell by the 'continue reading' line, it's going to get a bit long (again, so what else is new, and other friendly insults are noted for future assignments…) .
(Edited digression – This is a long and rambling post even for me, so if you jump to the end you'll see the one paragraph summary.)
Remember, you're playing this game on a computer. Everything that is processed can be saved. (Yes, there's a way to save your chat file(s). No, I'm not going there today – exercise for the readers…) These saved files are called logs. Let's go see where we'll find them.
Open your file viewer just like you're getting ready to install an addon. Now just below the line for Interface, you'll see a now-obvious line labeled "Logs". Open it, and observe. If you've been playing for more than a month, or you installed Burning Crusade, you have at least one file in here – the log of upgrades.
Let me interrupt here with an important digression. Any changes you make to any file in this folder will have ZERO impact on your play. It might – might – make WoW's updater unhappy the next time you update if you've modified the Blizzard Updater Log, in which case it'll send you a message of whimpering complaint and start a new one — and your next update might take a bit longer as it makes sure all the necessary things that should have been done were done. But seriously, as far as anything "important" — you could delete everything in the folder with no negative consequences beyond the one mentioned. Which means — feel free to play. OK?
When you save your combatlog it'll go here. Even better, it'll be called WOWCombatLog.txt – a real easy and obvious thing to find. Note the ".txt" at the end. Open it with a word processor program of just about any time and it will be readable – completely. It also going to be large and boring. It is a recording of every. single. thing. that went through your combat log. An important digression again – ONLY if it went through your log. If a fellow player does "ubermove 2.7" and it doesn't TELL you it's ubermove 2.7, all you'll see is the consequences – more damage or something.
Now it's probable that you don't see a combatlog. There are addons that'll start them, but most won't and it's not a default setting. So let's make a combat log, then we can dig into a few details.
Start the game. Go pick a fight. WAIT – before you start your pull, type /combatlog . That's it – no "start", "begin", "on", or anything else. That slash command toggles the logger on and off. From now on, your combat log (the window on the right side if you're in default mode) is being saved. Anyway, fight for a bit – one or two mobs is enough, we're just getting a taste here – and stop it. Either another /combatlot command, or just stop. Time for a bit of skullsweat, so get necessary refreshments.
Back? OK, back to the file folder, and this time you should see it: WowCombatLog.txt .
Open it.
wow. line after line of… wow. Let's parse a line.
Every event gets date, space, time down to something absurd (hh:mm:ss.mmm, read hour:minute:second.millisecond), and then the event itself. The event has up to four entries:
[owner of action];[action];[target of action];[result of action]. An AoE always has a separate line for every target. Depending on your computer's capabilities and situational lag, the log may show them all happening at the same time, or they may be off by a few milliseconds — and if that happens, once in a while you'll see something happen 'between' AoE effects. Remember that computers can only do one thing at a time, they just do it very fast, and this is a consequence.
You and Your always substitute for your character's name, but no other pronouns exist. Sometimes one or more of these are dropped – under very strict rules which frankly take us too far into the weeds today, but which basically mean that with VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS we can tell who did what to whom and what the result might have been. (An example of exception for the healpriest – Prayer of Mending appears as being 'cast' by the target.)
Wheee, we have a log. Eeeerrrgh, this is worse than reading one of Kirk's posts. HEEEELLLLPPPP!
OK, here's the nice thing. There are some combat log parsers and readers out there that will go through the log and give you back something that's actually readable. None are perfect (I have some wishes I'll be sticking on the end of this post), but what you get is still TONS better than crawling through on your own. I'll be talking about a couple shortly, but first… settings.
Your combat log has a surprisingly short range – about 40 yards. I don't recall because one of the first things I do is change to maximum range. See, if something happens 'out of range', your log ignores it. Again, the more your computer has to do, the longer it takes to come back to "YOUR IMPORTANT TASK" – but in this case I make the sacrifice. Max range means that when I get feared one way and my tank another and the mob chases him, I still have a log later for analysis. The max range is 200 yards, and there is more than one thing tracked. Ready?
Create a macro with the following:
/console SET CombatLogRangeParty "200"
/console SET CombatLogRangePartyPet "200"
/console SET CombatLogRangeFriendlyPlayers "200"
/console SET CombatLogRangeFriendlyPlayersPets "200"
/console SET CombatLogRangeHostilePlayers "200"
/console SET CombatLogRangeHostilePlayersPets "200"
/console SET CombatLogRangeCreature "200"
OK, why a macro? And.. huhn? Here's the deal. You're changing defaults. Every time you upgrade, the defaults return. Now there are some addons which will do the range changes for you (many of the log assist tools and better raid assist tools included), but some don't. Oh – if you don't want to macro but want to type it manually, you need each line beginning with SET. Me? macro for ranges. (Yes, you could make one to move ranges shorter. Consider it a project for the reader.) Actually, no. See, thanks to Rob in another thread I have one more addon – loggerhead. It's set to automatically kick the ranges (and start the log) in any pre-selected fights. Love having things that don't rely on my memory at work… Anyway
First tool – and one which I've espoused before – is WowWebStats. There are no real changes here, so I'm going to recommend you take a moment, read both those links (my explanation, then the site), and give it a try with the run you just did. Seriously, take some time. I'll get some coffee and be right back here waiting.
Back? Cool, wasn't it? Who hit what, what percentage of damage came from this, how much was crits… And if you have multiple players, who healed whom, what percent of heals received by a player came from each healer… yum. There's a lot of missing info, and there are some false trips you can take, but as a class leader or post-battle analyst this is darn near gold.
Oh – and there are issues and discussions, and using the host-side storage (free, but advertising) gives you more things. Rather than go nuts myself, Elitist Jerks has been having a discussion on it – 14 pages of forum so far. Oh – there is one point I want to bring out. You already see how long the log is after a short ifght. Ponder a minute – it's a big boss, and you wipe twice before killing. Is there an easy way to find the splits? Yes. Insert a "marker" – have someone do something that has absolutely no reason to happen. Waterbreathing, Elune's grace, sentry totem – these all may be useful. Just keep an eye out for tomfoolery. Thing is, by doing this — say, while everyone's buffing for the pull — you have something for which to search and 'split the logs'. (another plug for the hosted version — it'll split multiple tries for you. And it'll allow you to see the last 30 seconds of log prior to someone's death. And… sorry).
On thought and quick review – I lied. There have been other programs to help you scan and review logs, but they are not current – nor are they as comprehensive. I think that WWS is like Auctioneer – so unique and comprehensive that nobody bothers reinventing the wheel. So, a bit more of WWS and I'm off.
I wish… I wish I could get graphs over time from WWS. I have fallen in love with Recount – to the point it's superseding SWS in my use – purely due to the graphs. Which can be done post-battle or (and here's the excitement) DURING BATTLE. (Big memory/cpu hit warning, but…). General battle, and specific target (friendly or enemy). I suspect, but have not yet found, that it uses the combat log — not least because it keeps old stuff (even after logging on and off) until cleared. If I could just use it to parse a partial log, or use it offline… sigh. Oh, how useful? This is the "todo" list the author has in the current file:
Todo List
Minor Todo
1. Clear the lower detail window if nothing is selected
2. Change to using some sort of tabs for main window
3. Add Minimap Icon
4. Add Reporting to Windows
Major Features Todo
1. Add Time Data
2. Add Summary Data for Incoming/Outgoing
3. Add Death Tracking
4. Add Power Tracking (Energy/Mana/Rage)
5. Add Raid Analysis Window
OK, long file, so as always a quick summary.
The logs are saved in your world of warcraft\logs folder. You start it and stop it with the command /combatlog. It's pretty much everything your toon sees within 40 yards, and the range can be extended. It's dense to slog through on your own, so I recommend using WowWebStats to help make sense. Most of my wishlist is done by Recount except I can't do it out-of game. Oh — and as ALWAYS when using stats as a tool, remember that while the numbers don't lie they can confuse the issue – they aren't the WHOLE PICTURE. Bad use of this could be worse in the long run than constantly using damage meters for epeen.

One of my favorite sayings with respect to stats is, "Numbers paint a picture, but they don't tell the story." I think that is the point you're making in your last paragraph.
I have a huge monitor and I think I want more info than I can possibly assimilate, so my combat log window is always open. I rarely look at it ("How big was that crit??"), but I can definitely see the value in looking at the (parsed) combat log.

I've been using WWS for a few weeks and hosting the reports on my own webspace. Yesterday I bought a guild account and uploaded our first attempt on The Lurker Below. Take a look at my performance and tell me what you think. http://wowwebstats.com/i5akffbhsv22m
I would like to see the +800 DPS numbers that I keep reading about. The 600+ DPS I recorded on this event is my personal best so far.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Hey thanks for the analysis! My rotation is rather "canned"; VT, SWP, MB, SWD, VE, MF. Then dot refreshes as needed and insta-casts when in range and GCD is up. I have the "/use 13 /use 14" macro set up with SWP so it activates whichever trinket is up. I would characterize my gear as good and I think I've made good choices on gems and enchants. (nearly all +damage heh).
I do have IMP MB, and I use macros in my G15 keyboard for casting so I think the delay is a PEBKAC issue. As you point out, unfamiliarity with this event is probably contributory also. I did just notice that I only have one point in IMP SWP, so I will likely drop the Inner Focus point in favor of that. (If I were undead I would definitely keep IF for Devouring Plague)
So .. tonight I will run a fresh /combatlog in Karazhan during events that I am very familiar with. I will be pleased with anything over 600 and ecstatic if I'm able to do that without pulling agro.
/fingers crossed.
Update: I in fact DID NOT have 5/5 Imp MB. I errantly thought it was 2/3 when it was 2/5 🙂

The Terrapins are 7-3 entering the tournament. Recently, Maryland claimed third-place at the ECAC Championships. Shannon Smirley paces the Terrapins with 15 goals while Maryland has had 12 different players find the put the ball in the cage this season.
Scouting the Field:
Five ranked teams highlight the remainder of the field. Harvard has played two of the other six teams in the tournament this season and is slated to play two more. Indiana, the tournament host, carries a 7-4 record and a No. 18 national ranking into the weekend. Michigan is ranked No. 8 in the Collegiate Water Polo Association national weekly poll and sports a 12-6 overall. The Wolverines defeated Harvard 13-3, Feb. 21, handing the Crimson its first loss of the season. Entering the weekend, Princeton stands at 5-2 and is ranked No. 20 in the national poll. Bucknell, the only other team at the tournament the Crimson has played this season, boasts a 5-3 record in 2010. The Bisons downed Harvard 9-7 in the fifth-place match at the ECAC Championships, Feb. 28.
Harvard's two CWPA Northern Division foes, Brown and Hartwick, are also participating in the tournament. The Crimson is scheduled to tussle with the Bears and Hawks on four occasions later this season. Hartwick, ranked No. 11 in the national poll, owns a 13-3 record on the year. Brown owns a No. 17 national ranking and is 8-1 heading into the tournament.
Last Time Out:
Harvard settled for sixth-place at the ECAC Championships after losing to Bucknell, 9-7, in the fifth-place match, Feb. 28. Zdrojewski lead the offensive attack with three goals while Ita Barton-Kettleborough tallied a pair of goals. Lizzie Abbott and Elise Molnar each found the back of the net once in the match. McCarthy made four saves on the day while Harvard capitalized on all three of its 6-on-5 opportunities.

I heave one problem and that is the Wireless-connection.
My AP has WPA2 and WPA/AES..
WPA2 is not working and WPA/AES does not excist for so far I can see.
Scanning for Ap's gives me a full list of excisting AP's, so the driver is active.
So it also could be a problem in Puppy.
Perhaps it is a setting-problem. I tries all the settings and it is not working.
Spec of my laptop:
- Intel Centrino Duo T7100,
- Intel Pro Wireless 3945 ABG
I hope this help You (and me) to solve the problem.
My gratulations for such a good work.
May I suggest that you copy your text here and open a new post in Hardware - networking - wireless.
You will have more attention there.
When done you can edit your post here and refer to the new one.
Thnaks for the advice. I have done so.

Subject description: jerky playback
Hello Mr. Singh.
I'm wondering if you have been able to overcome the playback problems of flash videos from sites like youtube in your flavor of puppy. I have read the forums on this but have found no solution that works.
Does flash video playback smoothly in Singh-Dingo? Judging by your screen shots it looks to be a great puplet.
Mny Thx in Advance.

dear vito,
i never installed flash at that time so i would not be in a position to say any thing on that however i did try u tube and found it receive broken videos so i did not try much on that. you can download my pup_save-Deep.2fs rar file and enjoy many other worthy applications by using it along with puppy alpha 3.96 or later versions by upgrading it . to know about use of save2fs file please read the puppy master's blog as well as forum posts if you are not aware of it.

Subject description: doesn't seem to work
I downloaded the remaster 394.iso but when I try to boot it I get a kernel error.
However, I have the deep file so I suppose it is reasonable to assume that it will also work with the Newest vanilla dingo beta 2 and there then would be no need for the singh-dingo iso anyway, correct?
Mny Thx,

Dear Vito.
Deep396.2fs is a save file which has to be used along with puppy 3.96 or later versions of puppy as save file. i am on frugal install and found no problem in upgrading it to puppy 4 beta 2. i am sure it will work fine in case you know how to use a save file.
thanks and regards.

Post subject: usb external drive
Subject description: not recognised
after I installed the deep save file and integrated it into my dingo setup, dingo no longer recognizes my external usb drive. It doesn't see it. If I boot from the cd the drive is recognised right away. But when booted from the hard drive it doesn't. It gives an error when I try and mount it from the command line: " bad block device." Altering the fstab does not fix the problem either. Any ideas?
By the Way, can't wait for the Sinh-Dingo 4 version. I'll nuke my present version and start over.

Dear Mr Singh:
I thing that it was a bad Mtab or init script because I copied the files from your save file to my puppy setup installed on the hard drive. I reinstalled and copied once more, this time leaving out the etc directory files and now all works well, except that the 4.00 rc version with the .25kernel has some problems and I will therefore reinstall with the .21 kernal on the final version of dingo.
Mny Thx,
I don't do the frugal install as Puppy is the best software for this old AMD 750 MHz slowpoke computer. Will you come out with another iso?

Subject description: more testing
Hi all,
sorry i am on modem but soon i will have new ADSL-2 connection and will be back , i have created/recreated the following software/applications as given below:-
1. xmms for puppy 4 adding all the req. libs. to work in puppy 4.
2. GConf-2 extended with req, libs for pupp 4.
3. Gizmo-project created to work in puppy 4.
4. VLC-0.8.6 extended to work in puppy 4.
5. mplayer-1.0rc18.104.22.168 extended to work in puppy 4 in full screen mode
6. skype sfs file which includes qt-4
7. latest SFS-Combiner+GtkBasic003+pet2sfs as sfs file (thanks to Mark (MU)
all the above mentioned applications will work in PUPPY 3 as well. this work was done while i was on modem, all this should be good for the newbies as they would not have to search and add any libs. as the applications are self relient as for libs are concerned. however gizmo- project will require GConf2 and ORBIT-2 , but these are available as PET pkgs.
UPDATE: all the pkgs, mentioned above have now been UPLOADED
some as PETs and some as sfs files at singh-dingo.

- For information on the furry artist Unicorn, see Unicorn (artist).
Though the popular image of the unicorn is that of a white horse with a horn, the traditional unicorn has a billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven hoofs, which distinguish them from horses. Interestingly, these modifications make the horned ungulate more realistic, since only cloven-hoofed animals have horns. Some unicorns have been depicted otherwise, including giving them zebra-like stripes or other unusual fur patterns and colors. There are unicorn My Little Pony characters, with pastel or brightly-colored bodies and hair as well as symbols.
The qilin, a creature in Chinese mythology, is sometimes called "the Chinese unicorn", but it is not directly related to the classical Western unicorn, having the body of a deer, the head of a lion, green scales and a long forth-curved horn. Currently, the word "kirin", in Japan, written with the same kanji (Chinese ideograms), is used to designate the giraffe as well as the mythical creature. Strangely, the Japanese mythological creature is usually portrayed as more closely resembling the Western Unicorn than the Chinese qilin, even though it is based on the Chinese myth. The myth of unicorns was thought to have been because when people first traveled to africa they described rhinos as creatures as fast as a horse and they had a horn. over the years it simply settled as a horse with a horn.
Modern fantasy fiction tends to perpetuate the medieval notion of a unicorn as a beast with magical qualities or powers.
Unicorns notably appear in:
- Peter S. Beagle's The Last Unicorn
- Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series
- C. S. Lewis's The Last Battle
- Madeline L'Engle's A Swiftly Tilting Planet and Many Waters
- J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series
- Ridley Scott's Legend and Blade Runner (movies)
- Roger Zelazny's Amber novels
- Bruce Coville's A Glory of Unicorns
- Timothy Findley's Not Wanted on the Voyage
- Terry Brooks's The Black Unicorn
- Anne McCaffrey's Acorna, The Unicorn Girl series.
Alicorn historically means the substance that a unicorn's horn is made of.[1] It was considered by alchemists to have medicinal properties. Alicorn is also used to define the horn atop the forehead of this creature and unicorns.
Winged unicorn[edit]
Alicorn has also been used as early as 1984 by Piers Anthony in his novel "Bearing an Hourglass" to mean winged unicorn (a concept that had already been existence for decades without being called alicorn), which he defined as the cross between a unicorn and a griffin. In modern times, it is an equine creature which is a cross between a unicorn and a pegasus. This has alternatively been called pegacorn or unisus.
Twisted unicorns[edit]
- Dungeons and Dragons used the term to refer to a breed of evil unicorns in one of their source manuals in the early 90s.
- Final Fantasy XI made the Auroral Alicorn a mount for players; it lacked wings.
The most popular version of this creature is the traditional feral equine with a white body, a single spiral horn upon its head and a pair of long, feathery wings extending from both sides.
Furry (fandom)[edit]
Within the fandom, this creature can also be anthropomorphic, and come is a wide variety of colors, horn configurations and different wing types, like the fore mentioned dragon-like wings.
Actually, there are pictures of the Chinese/Japanese "Kilin/Kirin" where wings are added to the horned creature. The British air force used a horned Pegasus as their logo in World War II. 1983's "Whisper the Winged Unicorn" and 1985 She-Ra's "Swift Wind" predated all the pop culture internet artists.
This did not settle with traditional mythologists, who argued that the unicorn was a wingless creature and that only pegasus had wings. However since the winged unicorn had become such a favorite in pop culture, it became a creature of its own right.

Minnesota Beats SMU 65-63 To Win NIT
NEW YORK (AP) — Austin Hollins hit a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 46.1 seconds left and Minnesota won the NIT championship Thursday night, beating SMU 65-63 to give the Pitino family its latest postseason tournament title.
Hollins scored 19 points and Andre Hollins had 14 for the Golden Gophers (25-13), who took home the trophy for the third time. They also won the National Invitation Tournament in 1993 and '98, though the second one was vacated because of an NCAA rules violation involving player eligibility.
With coach Richard Pitino's famous father, Rick, sitting near his son's bench at Madison Square Garden, Minnesota made up for a blowout loss to Stanford in the NIT final two years ago and finished with a flourish in its first season under the 31-year-old Pitino.

Rock Star Or Regular Guy? You Need No More Proof Than Kenny Wayne Shepherd's '70 Duster To Answer That.
"Rosebud …" The last, enigmatic gasp of Orson Wells' character, Kane, in the famous 1941 classic Citizen Kane is the subject of much lofty debate in cinema classes worldwide, but it also provides a timely lesson here. In the movie-a thinly disguised biography of publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst-Kane's dying thoughts jolt to the lost innocence of his youth, and the pure joy of an old toy sled burning in a huge fire in his mansion's fireplace. In the movie, Kane has achieved wealth and greatness, but at the expense of his humanity. In the final moments of life, Kane grasps for purity-but it's too late.
By contrast, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's '70 Duster came on the scene in plenty of time for him to regain a youth truncated by teen stardom, but it was never a done deal. In case you've been hiding under a rock for the last 13 years, Kenny unloaded both barrels of his incendiary brand of rock and blues on an unsuspecting world in 1995 at the tender age of 17. So proficient was this prodigy that grown men-working musicians, even-wanted to cut off their hands in disgust.
Fast-forward to 2007. Kenny, now 30, is a seasoned pro, and firmly ensconced in the annals of rock history. As vast as his achievements, you get the tug of a feeling from Kenny that something was missing. Vaulted to fame in his teens, Kenny Wayne Shepherd went from boy to man in less time than it takes a Super Stock Hemi Dart to run the quarter-mile. Shepherd's Duster is, in one important respect, that well-deserved continuation of a lost adolescence.
For starters, this Duster is, well, a Duster. It's not a Hemi 'Cuda, a 440 GTX, a "wing" car, or any other buck'sup restoration. When pressed, Kenny will humbly admit he could ante up for that kind of steel, but the A-body is in his roots. "That was the car that my mom drove when my parents met," says Kenny. "I wanted a car with a family connection, so I started looking for Dusters. I remember looking at Dusters five years ago, and didn't think much of them. But the more I started looking at them, the more attractive the car started to look. Once you open your mind to something, you start seeing the full potential of it."
While Kenny's other famous ride, the Xtreme Lee '69 Charger, is a pair of wingtip dress shoes, the Duster is a comfortable pair of old boots. Authentic. Legitimate. Blue collar. It's right up our alley, and we dig it. "Basically, this Duster is all bolt-on parts, with a good stance, that handles great," says Kenny. "My goal was to make a car that looks custom, but is really off-the-shelf stuff, with a nice paint job. Underneath, it's still a Duster." It makes perfect sense: there really could only be one car capable of capturing a lost '90s Chryco youth- a Duster.
But sentiments are one thing, and actions are quite another. The path to purity was no straight line from point A to point B. "The search began. I looked on a daily basis, and I had buddy Shannon Hudson over at Redline Gauge Works on the hunt for me too," says Kenny. "Every day, we would talk at some point, and most of the time it was because one of us had found a car. We were constantly looking at eBay and Craigslist. We looked for months." What is it they say about nothing worthwhile ever being easy?
One day, Shannon called Kenny about a local Duster for sale in Burbank, California. ("It's amazing how good stuff can look in pictures, and how bad it can look in person," quips Kenny.) On balance, the '70 Duster in question was a survivor, with a matching-numbers 340 and original paint. The only strike against it, says Kenny, was its cracked dark green paint. After the decidedly modest sum of $9,000 changed hands, Kenny drove the Duster for several weeks as-is. "Then one day, while driving to Shannon's place, the motor went from 'tick, tick, tick,' to 'bang, bang, bang!' Just like a machine gun," says Kenny. "It was really obvious that something was wrong."
That's when Kenny made the call to Ted Moser, another friend, who operates Motion Picture Warehouse. Motion Picture Warehouse specializes in building movie cars, and Ted was a fellow Mopar nut, so Ted was more than happy to help. The game plan would be twofold: Pull the motor for an autopsy and fix the paint that had been a thorn in Kenny's side since day one. With the Duster at Ted's shop, the two pulled out the sick 340, and Kenny performed most of the teardown himself. Bad news-the bearings were toast. This would be no quick fix, so the focus shifted to the visuals.
While Ted stripped the old paint off, fixed some questionable past repairs to the door, and painted the rolling chassis a combination of dark graphite over Saab frost green metallic, another acquaintance, Chip Foose, worked the hood for a serious boost in graphic power. Meanwhile, Kenny (who is no stranger to pulling together big music industry deals) worked some promotional magic with Mopar Performance for one of their 402 Magnum crate motors. Based on the 360 (5.9L) Magnum production motor, the 402 gets extra cubes from a longer fourinch stroke. So why does the hood say "406" instead of "402"? Once new 5.9L Magnum blocks went out of production, Mopar Performance switched to seasoned blocks with a .020-inch overbore. The result is four extra "free" cubes in the deal, though Mopar Performance still calls it a 402. So while the motor was still several months out, it was imperative that the hood graphic reflect what would eventually be under it.
Part of the deal Kenny pulled together was with Year One, whom he'd had a successful relationship with since building the Xtreme Lee Charger back in 2004. Once Ted was finished with the paint, the roller would go to Year One's Braselton, Georgia, facility for completion. After the final day of the '06 SEMA show, the semi-finished Duster was trucked to Year One so it could be completed in time for the '07 Hot Rod Power Tour. In those seven months, the Year One team fortified the A-body with the Mopar Performance 402 crate motor, a Bowler Transmissions 4L60e, SSBC disc brakes front and rear, and suspension components from Addco (sway bars), Magnum Force (front control arms), Eaton (rear leaf springs), KYB (shocks), and PST (polygraphite bushings).
The interior details are an exercise in taste and restraint. The factory- appearing gauges are, in fact, custom dials from Redline Gauge Works. A stock-looking tach was added to the IP's center and was endowed with a redline equivalent to the 406 Magnum now pounding under the hood. The black leather interior was stitched together by Henderson's Upholstery (Gainesville, Georgia) using Year One items wherever possible. Of special note are the leatherswathed Cerullo front buckets, which really help with the long miles experienced on the Power Tour. From a comfort standpoint, Kenny wanted A/C, but without the garish billet controls of an aftermarket system. For this, he turned to Bouchillon Performance, which did a fine job of maintaining the stock appearance, both inside the cockpit and in the engine compartment.
By the start of the '07 Power Tour, the '70 Duster was ready right on time, and Kenny drove it the entire week without a single hiccup. "To me, having done this before-taking the [Xtreme Lee] on long trips-this is a testament to the great products that were used in this build and the talented people at Year One. They put this car together in record time. They had seven other cars to put together at the same time, and we had zero issues."
At the end of Citizen Kane, Orson Wells' character wasn't able to capture the innocence of youth that had been lost. Instead of wishing for a sled named Rosebud, maybe he should've just got himself a Duster with a healthy smallblock. At the bare minimum, it sure would've been faster!

Game 1 Box Score | Game 2 Box Score
HANOVER, N.H. - Stephanie Trudeau pitched a one-hit shutout to lead Dartmouth to a 2-0 victory over Yale in the first game of an Ivy League doubleheader at Sachem Field. Courtney Blachford had the only hit for the Bulldogs, a double to left field with two out in the third inning. In the second game, Kelly Fry and Alyssa Parker hit back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning as the Big Green rallied for a 3-2 win. Ashley Sloan went 3-for-4 with a run scored for Yale.
In the opener, Rebecca Wojciak pitched well for the Bulldogs but was the hard-luck loser. She retired the first eight Big Green hitters and allowed only three hits in the game.
Dartmouth (12-21, 8-6 Ivy) scored two unearned runs in the fourth. Nikki Yee reached on an error and moved to second on Ashley Gleason's sacrifice bunt. Fry then walked, and with two out, Leigha Clarkson laced a two-run double down the left-field line.
Trudeau also retired the first eight hitters she faced before Blachford's double in the third. Yale threatened again in the fourth. Christina Guerland led off with a walk. She was erased on a fielder's choice, but Katie Edwards drew a two-out walk to put runners on first and second. Both, though, were left stranded.
Trudeau, who struck out five, retired 10 in a row to close out her seventh win of the season.
The Bulldogs (18-16, 3-11 Ivy) struck first in the second game. Sloan led off with a single to center and stole second. With one out, Aracelis Torres hit a grounder to third. She was retired at first, but Sloan scored when Parker's return throw to third was wild. Kyli Hanson and Holly Gutterud each followed with singles, but Dartmouth pitcher Angela Megaw avoided further damage.
The Big Green tied it in the second when Christy Austin's sacrifice fly to center scored Katie Chifcian.
A two-out rally in the fourth gave Yale a 2-1 lead. Megan Enyeart doubled over the centerfielder's head and scored on Tracy Timm's single to right.
Fry, though, led off the bottom of the fifth with a long home run over the scoreboard in left, and Parker followed with a blast to left center.
Edward's pinch-hit single in the seventh put the tying run on base, but Trudeau came on in relief to retire the next two hitters.
Deanna DiBernardi pitched four innings for the Bulldogs and struck out three. Gutterud followed with two innings of scoreless relief.
Both benefited from some fine defense. In the first with a runner of first, Gleason hit a hard shot back up the middle that glanced off DiBernardi. Torres made a diving stop near the second base bag and managed to touch the base with her back leg to get the force out. In the fifth with a runner on first, Guerland made a nice back-handed stop on Sarah Bankoff's grounder and flipped the ball from her glove to Torres to get the force at second.
The same two teams will play a doubleheader on Sunday beginning at noon.

Campaign launches to return Berkeley "Dreamer" from Mexico
Rodrigo was a happy nine-year-old fourth grader at Jefferson Elementary School in Berkeley, where he lived since he was two years old. On January 10, 2013, Rodrigo and his parents, Reyna Diaz Mayida and Javier Ponce Guzman, returning from a trip to Mexico, were detained at the border in Houston, Texas. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities discovered that the father's visa as well as the visas of Rodrigo and his mother had expired, so the entire family was denied entrance to the U.S. The family was told that they could not re-apply for a visa for five years.
At the instigation of Rodrigo's classmates and their parents, the Berkeley Unified School District unanimously passed a resolution on March 13, 2013, to support the return of Rodrigo and his family to Berkeley. On Tuesday March 19 at 7:00 pm at 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, the Berkeley City Council will vote on their resolution Bring Rodrigo Home – Kids For Kids to support Rodrigo's family's return. This resolution urges President Barack Obama, Congresswoman Barbara Lee, and Senator Dianne Feinstein to write special legislation to grant assistance to the family.
Rodrigo is having a terrible time adjusting to Mexico. He is stressed, vomits in the classroom and suffers from mosquito bites that cover his body. Rodrigo is sad and depressed about his uncertain future.
In Berkeley, Rodrigo's classmates are determined to bring him home. Five of them want to go to Washington D.C. to testify in front of the Senate and Congress to ask for their classmate's right to return to Berkeley. They are studying the struggles of Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez and Rosa Parks for justice and believe today is their moment to battle for a cause they believe is part of our democracy.
Kyle Kuwahara, a classmate of Rodrigo' wants to tell President Barack Obama: "This is our time to stand up like Cesar Chavez, Yuri Kochiyama and Dolores Huerta to fight for Rodrigo's rights. We have to fight for Rodrigo's rights because he is not able to do it himself!"
The Bring Rodrigo Home-Kids for Kids" campaign will include a website and social media outreach with a petition asking for Rodrigo's return. Rodrigo's classmates, their parents, and Berkeley community groups are recruiting national youth, social justice, and ethnic and immigration organizations to help deliver thousands of petitions to our politicians.

Pottery & Porcelain Marks – Lines: From the 18th century to present, marks made up of lines straight or bent into waves, x's, crosses, and diamonds were used. The first line mark, two "crossed swords," was used by the Meissen factory in Germany beginning around 1725 and is still being used today. The handles of the swords are at the bottom of the mark and the blades of the sword point toward the top. Many companies including the Volkstedt pottery have used a version of the mark. Collectors are often confused by faked "crossed sword" marks. There are three unique marks to note: the English Registry Mark, Sevres Date Mark, and Meissen Augustus Rex mark.

April-Oct fiscal deficit touches 84% of full-year target
New Delhi: India's fiscal deficit touched Rs 4.57 lakh crore or 84.4 percent of budget estimates in the first seven months of the current fiscal, reflecting signs of stress in government finances.
Fiscal deficit, the difference between government receipts and spending, was 71.6 percent of the budget estimate in April-October of 2012-13.
It stood at 76 percent in April-September this year and climbed further to 84.4 percent of the budget estimate (or Rs 4.57 lakh crore) April-October, as per government data released Friday.
The deficit is without accounting for subsidies that the government will have to pay for selling diesel and cooking fuels at prices below cost.
As much as Rs 45,000 crore of fuel subsidy to be paid this fiscal will be carried to the next year as all of the budgetary provisions have already been exhausted in the first six months. As per the official data, net tax receipts for the first seven months of the fiscal year touched Rs 3.56 lakh crore, while total expenditure was Rs 9.22 lakh crore.
The revenue deficit during seven months period went up to Rs 3.53 lakh crore, or 92.9 percent of the budget estimate, compared with 81.4 percent last year. Tax revenue collection slowed down to 40.3 percent of the budget estimate (Rs 8.84 lakh crore) as against 43.3 percent in the previous fiscal.
The non-tax revenues was just Rs 99,515 crore in the April-October period, as against the budgeted over Rs 1.72 lakh crore for entire 2013-14.
With nearly eight month of the fiscal getting over, the government has been able to raise a little over Rs 1,300 crore from disinvestment, against the budgeted target of Rs 40,000 crore. Finance Minister P Chidambaram at many occasions had reiterated that red line has been drawn for the fiscal deficit and it will not be breached.
The government plans to restrict fiscal deficit at 4.8 percent of GDP in the current fiscal, lower than 4.9 percent in 2012-13.
With the aim of sticking to fiscal deficit target, the government had announced a slew of austerity measures in September, including reduction in non-plan expenditure, ban on holding seminars in five-star hotels and creation of new jobs.
While announcing the steps, the government did not quantify the savings it would make by the expenditure rationalisation that was announced on September 18.

As runners, we look for ways to get the most out of our training time, trying to find the most effective techniques. In the last few years, running form has been frequently and favorably discussed.Better running mechanics do allow for improved efficiency and the fastest most efficient runners have high stride frequency of at least 170 – 185 steps per minute. But, does a higher stride frequency automatically translate to faster running? Not necessarily. I spoke with Dave Abbett, local physical therapist and partner of Sub 5 Race Management, about another technique that may better relate to increased running performance.
Abbett believes that better running mechanics improve efficiency and can reduce injury rates, but focusing solely on form won't necessarily translate to increased speed. A technique often used by triathletes and cyclists but less so for runners is heart rate training. Abbett explained that while runners often focus on training plans that emphasize pace and mileage, heart rate training takes a more individual approach to ensure the athlete is exercising at the right level of intensity. Most of us have heard of heart rate training zones, which define the upper and lower limits of training intensity.Training in what is known as the aerobic zone will improve endurance and speed over time, said Abbett, or in other words, the ability to run faster at the same effort or same heart rate.Heart rate zones are commonly divided into five categories: zone 1, warm-up or cool-down, zone 2 recovery, zone 3, aerobic, zone 4, anaerobic threshold and zone 5, speed or VO2 max. When training in the aerobic zone, our bodies will burn roughly 50% fat and 50% sugar (carbohydrates); higher or lower than that does not maximize overall endurance training, said Abbett. It is common for runners to train in either a zone that is too high or too low, explained Abbett, and particularly in a zone slightly above the aerobic zone, which he referred to as the 'no man's zone', where you are not running fast enough to be considered speed work, but are also not slow enough to burn fat. From a physiological point of view, energy is produced in the body by burning either carbohydrates or fat. Carbohydrates are stored in the body muscles and liver and are readily converted to energy, but the amount available is limited, which is why runners use sport drinks and other carbohydrates when running for long durations. Fats are also stored in muscles usually in amounts far greater than carbohydrates but are harder to convert.Training the body to also burn fat for energy will result in greater endurance, particularly since the amount of carbohydrates a runner can consume while running is also limited; too much commonly results in nausea and other gastrointestinal distress.To find your aerobic training zone, first you need to determine your maximum heart rate. One well-known formula used to determine this is 220 minus age; for example, a 40 year old would in theory have a maximum heart rate of 180 beats per minute. Charts that use this formula to determine training zones show an automatic lowering of heart rate as we age regardless of fitness and conditioning and have been proven to be false; actual heart rates are much more individual. Abbett referred to the work of Dr. Phil Maffetone, a well-known endurance coach, researcher and clinician who developed a straight-forward formula to determine your aerobic training zone, which he coined the Maximal Aerobic Function or MAF: subtract your age from 180 and modify depending on fitness. If you have been running consistently for up to two years, keep this number; if you have been running consistently for more than two years and have made progress without injury, add five to this number; if you are new to running, inconsistent or injure easily, subtract five from the number; if you are recovering from a major illness or are on regular medication, subtract 10 from the number. For example, a healthy 40 year old who has been running consistently for five years would have a MAF of 145.
To assess what this means, Abbett recommends running on a treadmill with a heart rate monitor. First, warm up slowly, and then run for 20 minutes staying close to your MAF heart rate, and paying attention to your running speed; as much as 80% of your training should be done in this zone. It may feel too slow at first, but over time, your speed will naturally increase while staying at the same MAF heart rate. Abbett also recommends checking your resting heart rate in the morning; if you notice your resting heart rate increasing it can be a sign that you are overtraining.We've often heard that it is important to listen to our bodies when it comes to training, and heart rate training will help to ensure this.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - People worldwide should honor the memory of Rev. Dr Martin Luther King Jr. by making Monday a "no shots fired" day and ringing church bells in support of non-violence, urged the daughter of the slain U.S. civil rights leader.
Church services and tributes will be held across the United States to commemorate King's 85th birthday on Monday, a federal holiday. At the same time, there is a push for a new monument and possibly a major movie production from director Oliver Stone.
"Dr. King's philosophy of non-violence is more relevant, I believe, than it was 10 years ago," King's daughter, Bernice, told Reuters.
In a time of school shootings and increasingly violent movies, television shows and video games, his message of non-violence should continue to resonate, said his daughter, chief executive officer of the Atlanta-based Martin Luther King Center which promotes his philosophy of non-violence.
"America has an enormous appetite for violence. I don't know why we have such an affinity for that, but I do know it has to stop," she said.
As part of the birthday tributes, the Atlanta branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) began a gun buyback program, hoping to get 1,000 weapons off the city's streets.
King, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, was assassinated four years later in Memphis, Tennessee.
As this year's holiday approached, lawmakers in King's home state of Georgia introduced a bill to erect a new statue honoring him on the steps of the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, five blocks from where he was born on January 15, 1929.
The statue would replace another of the late Georgia Senator Thomas Watson, who was known for his racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic views. The Watson statue was moved late last year to a park across the street from the Capitol.
In another project aimed at examining King and his role in American history, movie director Oliver Stone said in late 2013 he was interested in directing a film about King, with actor Jamie Foxx playing the lead role, according to media reports.
Crowds are expected to gather on the National Mall in Washington, where a 30-foot (9-meter) statue of King was unveiled in 2011. Park ranger Jan Buerger said talks and tours were planned there to commemorate King's birthday.
The city of San Marcos, Texas, will honor what it sees as two great civil rights pioneers, King and the late President Lyndon Johnson, by inaugurating a monument at the intersection where streets named after the two figures meet.
Johnson went to college at Texas State University in San Marcos from 1927-1930.
In what has been dubbed the Crossroads Memorial Project, an oval plaque will be put up on the corner where streets named after King and Johnson join, bearing the phrase "To Stand up for Another's Freedom Is To Free Yourself", written in English and a host of other languages.
As a young minister in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955, King led a bus boycott that was sparked when Rosa Parks, a black woman, refused to relinquish her seat to a white passenger.
In his autobiography, King called the Montgomery bus boycott "the first flash of organized sustained mass action and non-violent revolt against the Southern way of life."
He later moved back to Atlanta, where he led the national civil rights movement as president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.
For the first time, the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, which includes the Lorraine Motel where King was assassinated, will publicly play a recording of a 1960 interview with him discussing the civil rights movement.
Magician David Copperfield donated the tape to the museum in 2012.
"The national holiday is always a big visitation day," said Barbara Andrews, the museum's education director. "Thousands of people will come to pay their respects to Dr. King and the civil rights movement."

I'm usually pretty chill about publishing stuff here, but I was a little freaked out about my last post. Usually I write, revise, edit, reread, and publish, all in short order. That last post stayed in my drafts folder for quite a while as I tried to find the right words.
Late last night, I clicked publish, pushed the link out on Facebook and Twitter and went to bed before feedback could come back in. I was nervous. But you guys were so great to me. Thank you.
I feel like I'm always saying that to you guys. You all are so good to me. I appreciate you so much.
I read every comment, email, Facebook message, and tweet at least twice, from both some of my oldest friends and from some people who are new to me as of today—and many folks in between. I love you/it is a pleasure to meet you and thank you so much for your support. I haven't had a chance to respond to all of you, but I will. Until I do, you should know that every word you wrote to me was meaningful.
I seems a little gauche to thank you and then advertise a link, but as long as I have you here, I might as well send you over to Autism Unexpected, where I wrote about taking Jack to his school's end-of-the-year carnival. Just don't look too much at the photo that accompanies it. I didn't choose that photo and, in fact, it kind of stresses me out to look at it. Just scroll right down to the words.
I'll probably write more often over there now considering that I'm not writing my White Knuckle Parenting column anymore due to budgetary reasons. (Theirs, not mine.) They were lovely to me over there at the Wheaton Patch. I miss them.

B-rank (Bランク, Bī ranku) is one of the six classifications. It is preceded by C-rank and followed by A-rank. It is typically used when classifying techniques intended for ninja of the jōnin or chūnin level. B-rank techniques are typically useful and can be learned relatively easily with enough time, such as the Shadow Clone Technique.
There are also B-rank missions. These missions are usually assigned to jōnin or chūnin. Assignments can involve spying or assassinations, and ninja are expected to go up against enemy ninja during the course of the mission. B-rank missions pay between 80,000 and 200,000 ryō.

John Brennan nominated to lead CIA
President Barack Obama on Monday nominated the White House's point person on counterterrorism, John Brennan, to be the next director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Brennan, a 25-year veteran of the CIA, currently holds the title of Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism. He appeared with Obama at a White House event where the president also announced his nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) to be the next defense secretary.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: John Brennan's career)
"John knows what our national security demands," Obama said at the afternoon announcement in the East Room. "John has an invaluable perspective on the forces, the history, the culture, the politics, economics, the desire for human dignity driving so much of the changes in today's world. … He knows the risks that our intelligence professionals face every day."
Obama said Brennan deserves considerable credit for the U.S. victories against Al Qaeda in recent years.
"Think about the results: More al Qaeda leaders and commanders have been removed from the battlefield than at any time since 9/11," the president added. "In all this work, John Brennan has been tireless. … He is one of the hardest-working public servants I've ever seen. I'm not sure he's slept in four years."
Brennan said taking over the CIA would be the pinnacle of his career.
"Leading the agency in which I served for 25 years would be the greatest privilege as well as the greatest responsibility of my professional life," Brennan said.
Obama aides said Brennan would be able to make a seamless transition to the CIA.
"Brennan's career of service and extraordinary record has prepared him to be an outstanding director of the CIA. Brennan served for decades at the Agency. Since 9/11, he has been on the front lines in the fight against al Qaeda. Over the past four years, he has been involved in virtually all major national security issues and will be able to hit the ground running at CIA," the White House said in talking points supporting his nomination provided to POLITICO early Monday.

Well guys, I don't know how many people watched me yesterday as I tackled a task in the form of a Halloween figure. Today I will upload my works and show you "how to draw a Halloween witch", step by step. Even though a Halloween witch was requested, I still think it was an awesome idea. I had so much fun with this sketch, so much so, I literally got carried away. There were a thousand things going on in my mind when I was drawing this witch. Since I do a lot of anime and regular people drawings, I thought making a chibi style girl would be a nice change of pace. Not only is it better to make a Halloween girl in chibi form, it's also going to be easier than ever before as you tackle such an awesome concept. The end results are clearly epic, and another nice thing about this submission is how you can alter the sketch along the way as you follow the steps to drawing a Halloween witch. Remember to always submit your finished work, and don't forget to rate, comment, and fav the lessons that you like, or dislike. Peace people and have a butt load of fun!

I am sorry if this is not the right place, but I didn't know where else to ask and I can't find an acceptable answer anywhere online.
I'm considering getting a tablet and would really prefer an Android. However, the most critical requirement for me is the vector graphics illustrator. I am a mathematician and make a lot of drawings for presentations and papers using Inkscape (an open source version of Adobe Illustrator). The iPad has an app called Inkpad (which is not the same as Android's Inkpad), which is just like Inkscape, only it also allows the user to draw a curve freehand and convert it to a Bezier curve.
I was wondering if there was anything similar for Android and if so, how it compares in functionality and image quality to Inkscape/Inkpad for iPad.
Thank you!

We all look forward to a great coffee, no matter what day, time or season it is of the year. No special occasion or mood is required to get indulged into a perfectly brewed coffee. Cafeterias allow people to relax, unwind and spent some cozy moments with their loved ones, sipping the variety of flavours that they have to offer. And not only do they serve refreshment but many more things, such as pastries, chocolates, cakes, etc., to people to enjoy with or without a beverage. Their soothing ambience adds to the taste that they serve in their beautiful crockery. One can easily plan a one-on-one meeting at these places. They also offer one the option to study or simply work from their location.
Some cafeterias along with offering the various variants of coffee, also offer the option of tea to the connoisseur of tea. While selecting a beverage, you must first start with the menu that the cafeterias display to its patrons. The menu will tell you the variety of refreshment that the joint is offering, along with their respective prices.
If you develop the fetish for a special coffee served by a professional chain then you can be rest assured that no matter which city you are in, the chain will serve you the same quality and taste everywhere.
Iced coffee is quite popular among its lovers. Not only are they known as a refreshment but also as a healthy coffee. The specialty with the serving them by these professional chains is that they know the process of brewing them perfectly. They are also known to serve much cleaner flavor than what you get in your home. They don't allow old coffee to sit down for long in order to restrain its volatile flavours from getting diluted.
For Iced coffee it is always advisable to make a stronger brew than what you would for a hot variant. Now chilling it quickly is required which is something that the chains can do better with their sophisticated dispensers. When it comes to adding of sugar, the hard sugar is not recommended, instead, liquid sugar should be used to sweeten the coffee on ice.
The variety of coffee that we are being served today by the chains is making people go crazy for them. Though their all variants can be prepared at home, the perfect taste and blend can only be enjoyed among the soothing ambience of a professional shop.
