SeNuke X Review of Features and Modules
Before you arrived at this SEnuke X review, you may have browsed through one of the many busy internet marketing forums with people discussing and claiming that SEnuke X is probably one of the most important tools of the IM trade. A good many people, and not all of them affiliates of SEnuke X, say that it has changed the way that they do business, while others say that SEnuke X doesn't offer anything that some other programs used well can't give. Many debates do occur, though in many cases people admit that there is something about SEnuke X.
Despite the opinions of a positive SeNuke X review, or perhaps even because of them, the more cautious internet marketers ask themselves the question: is SEnuke X really worthy of all the hype?
The Basis Of This SEnuke X Review
To help some people make a more informed decision, I've decided to do a thorough SEnuke X review , based on certain criteria that I believe most people would be thinking about. First: is SEnuke X user-friendly? Next I'll go through its various functions and see if it is able to do what it claims. After this I'll check out the speed of this program, and also make a list of its resource requirements, to help other internet marketers decide whether or not SEnuke X is the program for them.
How User-Friendly is SEnuke X
One of the problems you may have heard about the original SEnuke is that it wasn't very user-friendly. More than one SeNuke X review complained that, while it was a very useful program, new users had to really spend some time to learn just how to use its basic functions. So one of the things that people expected is that an update to SEnuke should have at least a better user interface.
Developers Areeb Bajwa and Joe Russell apparently took this challenge seriously, giving SEnuke X a new look in the form of an updated graphical user interface or GUI. Many people, myself included, found this to be a leap forward in terms of how user-friendly SEnuke X is, compared to it's progenitor.
The Step By Step Wizard
Probably the feature most likely to be mentioned in an SeNuke X review is the Step by Step Wizard. Aside from improving the interface, the new Step by Step Wizard allows even new users to get started almost immediately. I personally did not have to take long to figure the Wizard out, and set up my first backlinking campaign.
The new feature that is next most likely to be mentioned in an SeNuke X review is the Diagram Designer, which helps design the backlinking campaign. It does more than create a diagram, however, and is actually a way to visually tell SEnuke X how to run the campaign. In addition, SEnuke X also has a Campaign Scheduler, which allows users to tell SEnuke X when to run specific parts of their backlinking campaign.
I found that these two tools together work well to personalize a campaign for a specific strategy, and I believe many, both SEnuke veterans and new users alike, will find them very useful. Overall, SEnuke X has become much more user-friendly in comparison to SEnuke, specially for new users of the program, while giving veterans more tools to use.
SeNuke X Review of The Missing User Manual
One could actually say that SEnuke X is so user-friendly that it no longer needs a user manual. However, this would not exactly be true. While it is easy for a new user to get into the program immediately, and it isn't difficult to learn, I did find that there were some things that could be explained to me, and perhaps some tricks that could still be used, to maximize the use of SEnuke X.
One way that the SEnuke X team helps to do this is it has created a Forum in the main SEnuke X site that all who purchase SEnuke X have free access to. Here users can share tips, concerns, and even post recommendations and complaints about the software. While it isn't exactly a user manual, it's a great resource for the user who's looking for the best ways to use SEnuke X. There is a success forum as well, which is a good place to find inspiration. Since the launch of Senuke X, there have been more than 100 new success forum stories.
Another way to overcome the lack of a user manual is to try out guides that veteran users of the program have put together. One such guide is the Rapid Ranking Blueprint, by Brian Valentine, where he shares his techniques to maximize SEnuke X, Scrapebox, Market Samurai, and thebestspinner.
SEnuke X Review Of Features And Updates
SEnuke X has many different modules, which allow it to automate various backlinking tasks quickly. These modules are the tools SEnuke X relies on to do what is expected of it, and it's power can be measured in how effective and efficient they are.
The Account Creation Module
The Account Creation Module allows the creation of accounts in social network sites, article directories, social bookmarking sites, video sites, RSS sites, Press Release sites and Web Profile sites. Another module, the Forum Account Creation Module enables the creation of accounts in forum sites. Between these two modules, SEnuke X can create accounts in 840 different sites, and users are able to add to that list to create custom lists as well.
The main problem with the two modules is that it is SeNuke was unable to efficiently solve Captcha's. However, version 2.0 has actually been upgraded to be able to solve captcha's (including recaptcha) automatically with it's new OCR technology. According to the blog, reCaptcha is used in up to 40% of the sites on their list, and the OCR technology can solve it 75% of the time. I personally have not seen this at work, but I also have not had many problems with account creation using SEnuke X myself.
Automated Submissions
The power of SEnuke X is in various automated submission modules. This includes the Article Directory Module, Social Bookmarking Module, Social Network Module, Video Module, Press Release Module, RSS Project Module, Pinger Project and Indexing Project. Each of these modules allows users to automatically complete the tasks designed under the Diagram Designer.
These modules take the accounts created by the Account Creation Module, and posts appropriate content to them, with backlinks pointing back to your sites. In most cases these Modules can work quietly in the background, able to quickly perform uploads without much attention. Only the Video Module really takes up more time, and this is caused by the size of the videos uploaded.
Once the content has been posted to the various sites, the RSS Project Module, Pinger Project and Indexing Project work to alert the search engines that new content has been posted, in order to get the content and backlinks to be indexed as soon as possible. This allows the target site to rise quickly in search results.
The entire process is actually very impressive, and while SEnuke X was unable to use some of the sites, I would say it was able to post to the sites it did create accounts on rather efficiently. The process seemed to slow down at times, but all in all it was very fast.
How Fast Is SEnuke X
One of the things that is said about SEnuke X is that it is able to do all the tasks it automates quickly. This is actually true, however I would advise a DSL or cable internet connection with a minimum speed of 2Mbps. I've found this to be the most stable for the purposes of SEnuke X, as interruptions in your internet connectivity means interruptions in your backlinking campaign, as well as just about everything else.
In addition, despite the fact that it is said that SEnuke X can run in the background, you will want a fast computer with at least 2Gb of RAM. With 2Gb, programs run alongside SEnuke X will lag less, and you're able to actually use your computer with SEnuke X running in the background. With 4Gb of RAM, your system would have more resources so that your other programs won't lag, and so SEnuke X won't lag as well.
SeNuke X Review of Issues
One problem I experienced, and found at least one other to have experienced as well, is that running SEnuke X along with other programs can actually cause other applications to crash. While at first I was not even sure that it was caused by SEnuke X, testing done by another SEnuke X Review found that SEnuke X actually has a useful feature that closes popups. This is actually useful, as SEnuke X uses the browser to create accounts and post, and sometimes popups will appear, which otherwise would require the user to close them manually. This feature sometimes closes programs, however, and it will need to be turned off if you plan to use other programs alongside SEnuke X.
According to the SEnuke blog, version 2.0 of SEnuke X has actually become even faster. Previously, SEnuke X made accounts and posts through Internet Explorer, but the upgrade now has almost all submissions running through sockets. This enables SEnuke X 2.0 to run more effectively in the background, and may also help overcome the previously noted popup problem.
Reliability And Frequency Of Updates
One common problem people have with SEnuke X is its tendency to crash every so often. I've experienced this myself, though unlike other programs, SEnuke X has an auto-resume function that allows it to continue its previous task before the crash. Aside from helping to overcome SEnuke's tendency to crash, this also helps ensure that your campaign can resume should any other unscheduled and unannounced difficulties occur. An update to this SeNuke X review: version 2 has converted SeNuke X to sockets, which means crashes should be less of an issue. Prior to this, SeNuke used the IE 9 browser to submit, and most of the problems and crashes resulted from issues with the IE 9 browser. Now that Senuke no longer uses the browser for submissions, crashes should be much less frequent.
While SEnuke X does have problems with crashing, a definite plus is the speed that Areeb Bajwa and his development team is able to come out with updates and upgrades to SEnuke X. One example is that the first version of SEnuke X was actually just released a few short months ago, and already there is a fully functional version 2.0 that addresses many of the important concerns people have about version 1.
SeNuke X Review of Google Panda
Another concern of SEnuke X users is the new Google Panda update, which is an update to the algorithms Google uses to determine how high a site ranks in search engine results. While I personally have not seen how Panda affects internet marketers yet, the SEnuke X blog has stated that SEnuke X still works after fine the Google Panda update. For people who understand what the Panda update was really about, this should come as no surprise. SeNuke provides a diverse backlink profile for your website, and the Google Panda update had nothing to do with that.
SEnuke X Review of Price: Is It Worth It?
One of the concerns many voice about SEnuke X is it's price. At present, SEnuke X is available for $147 monthly, while a yearly license costs $1297. When SEnuke X version 2.0 was released some time ago, a lifetime license was made available for a short time for $1997, but this is no longer available at this time. They may, however, make this available again sometime in the future. The cost of SEnuke X includes free updates and support, as well as access to the SEnuke X forums for discussions and free training videos, and you will also be able to install SEnuke X on up to three different computers.
All this means that SEnuke X is more expensive than many other software out there, but I would advise that you look at the price of SEnuke X as more than just paying for a powerful software. As an automated backlinking software, you're actually effectively paying for a tool that can replace an entire outsourced team of writers, spinners and assistants, which is what you would be using to replicate the capabilities of SEnuke X.
Many others have said it as well, but it deserves repeating here: the price of SEnuke X should be looked at not only in money saved, but also in the amount of time it saves as well. If SEnuke X can save you even an hour of work daily, an investment in SEnuke X actually means you save up to 30 hours a month and more, depending on the complexity of your backlinking campaign.
SEnuke X Review: Some Final Notes
The hype surrounding SEnuke X claims that it is the most powerful automated backlinking tool available today, and much of that proves to be true. It's upgraded user interface and easy to use Wizards and modules allow an SEnuke X user to create and run a backlinking campaign that can save a lot of time and effort.
While it does have some bugs, and some have experienced difficulties with SEnuke X crashing, the constant updates combined with the developers dedication make any bug or issue temporary. With the latest update, even the problem with SEnuke X's popup disabler closing your other programs has been overcome, thanks to the updates by the SEnuke X team.
SEnuke X can still be considered a resource hog, however, and if you aren't using a decent computer with a good internet connection, you may not be able to get the most out of SEnuke X, specially if you plan to run it in the background while working on other tasks. You may want to upgrade your internet connection, and make sure that you schedule SEnuke X to run its campaigns while you aren't working on anything. Or have it run on its own computer.
Overall, I believe SEnuke X lives up to much of the hype, and is able to do best what it claims to do: automate your backlinking tasks so that you can save time, and money, two of the resources anyone running an online business knows can be very important to the success of your business.

Eddie Munster's in rehab.
Butch Patrick, who played the kid vampire on the 1960s show "The Munsters," is in a New Jersey drug and alcohol rehab facility, his agent confirmed to The Associated Press.
The 57-year-old actor is there "to deal with a lifetime problem of substance abuse," said his agent Jodi Ritzen.
U.S. & World
Patrick moved to the Philadelphia area earlier this year after being contacted by a West Chester woman named Donna McCall, a former Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader who had a crush on Patrick from her childhood.
In May, the two arranged to meet for the first time at a vampire convention, "Dracula Con II," in Philadelphia.
The two hit it off, and got engaged in July.
"I met him for the first time," McCall told the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat, "but I feel like I've known him forever."
McCall announced last week that they had split.

I have a 5 week old baby. I've had supply issues from the beginning where I was having to supplement baby with formula from the first week because she was starving. When she was about 10 days old I managed to magically pump (she had latch issues so had to resort to pumping) about an ounce in one session which was a big deal for me. After that magical appearance of an ounce things went downhill drastically and I was only pumping a few drops, then pumping nothing... Not even a drop of milk would appear on the pores. So a few days ago I was prescribed Reglan 40mg daily which is supposed to increase prolactin to promote milk supply. I also invested in a double electric medela pump in style. I've been pumping and taking the medicine for 4 days now and the first day I got milk on the pores but no drip. Then second day I got milk on the pores and a dripping but not enough to fall into the bottles . And third day I got milk dripping enough to get a few spots in the bottle. Today is the 4th day and I thought I'd get more by now but I'm still st the same level as yesterday .. i.e. A few drops in the bottle.
I'm pumping every 3 hours around the clock, and I'm getting just less than a teaspoon of total milk in 24 hours. I'm not talking about one pumping session - that's less than a teaspoon in about 8 pumping sessions.
Is my supply ever going to increase?? I am taking a lot of natural supplements too. Drinking lots of fluids and all sorts of things.
When can I see an increase? I am waiting for 4 ounce per session to try and attempt re-latching baby. I'm worried that day will never come. I hate having to exclusively formula feed her.

Position Statements
July 2010 – The Alliance for Childhood urges the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) to take a strong stand on limiting screen time in the lives of young children. Read the letter from the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood signed by 70 early childhood experts.
March 2010 – Read why we object to the K-3 Core Standards. The standards conflict with compelling research about how young children learn, what they need to learn, and how best to teach them in kindergarten and the early grades. The Core Standards will very likely lead to inappropriate testing of young children. See our statement on the standards, signed by hundreds of leading educators and health professionals.
A Call to Action on the Education of Young Children
October 2006 – Experts express deep concern that current trends in early education, fueled by political pressure, are leading to an emphasis on unproven methods of academic instruction and unreliable standardized testing that can undermine learning and damage young children's healthy development. See also Comments from Signers on Call to Action and Call to Action Background and References
Children from Birth to Five: Academics Versus Play
December 2005 - A statement prepared for members of Congress and signed by leading educators and health professionals. It calls for greater emphasis on play-based learning in preschool.
April 2001 - A group of the nation's most prominent psychiatrists, child development authorities, and educators called today for President Bush and Congress to "rethink the current rush to make American children take even more standardized tests."
September 2000 – A wide array of experts release a statement about the ways computers are reshaping children's lives, at home and at school, in profound and unexpected ways. Common sense suggests that we consider the potential harm, as well as the promised benefits, of this change and not rush forward with computer usage in childhood.

UnNews:Pope gets new hat
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
4 March 2008
STATE of the VATICAN CITY, Italy -- Earlier today while on a shopping trip with his mother, Maria Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI (formerly Joseph Ratzinger), head of the Catholic Church since his 2005 and style aficionado, received as a present a brand new hat.
"I got a new hat! It's the bestest! It's red and felt and red and it's a cowboy hat! It's my most favoritist thing ever! I'm a cowboy! Bang bang! Wee!" exclaimed the boisterous Pontiff between sips of Jolt cola.
The hat, bought at a local millinery, is reminiscent of a miniature ten-gallon hat, in red felt with gold piping around the brim and "Joey" embroidered in Latin on the front. Cowboys in the Wild West, both good and bad, commonly wore ten-gallon hats. Modern wearers of ten-gallon hats include sheriffs, country singers, and Texans who strike it big in oil.
"I can't wait to show it off to all my friends! They'll be totally jealous! I'm gonna ride around town in the back of my car and wave at everybody! They'll be so happy to see my new hat! Wee!" blurted Joseph while jumping on the sofa.
The Pope's mother is planning a family tour of the neighborhood on Monday to allow Benedict to show off his new hat to all of his friends and classmates. To ensure his safety, he will ride around in the back of the family armored Mercedes Benz G-Class. The Geländewagen, purchased by his mother shortly after his election, is outfitted with run-flat tires, a closed-circuit ventilation system and a self-sealing fuel tank. On Benedict's request, she is having the rear passenger section swapped with a giant bullet-resistant bubble, so that his friends can clearly see his new hat.
"I got it at a hat store. Mom said that I couldn't get any stuff today. She said that we were just going out for groceries, but when I saw the hat in the window I said 'Mom! Mom! Mom! Look at that hat! Mom!'. She sighed. She does that a lot. Then she told me that since my birfday's coming up in April I could get it as an early birfday present! See? It's a cowboy hat! It's the most greatest thing ever! Wee!" shouted the Pope in his characteristic sugar-fuelled manner as he spun rapidly in circles, before losing his balance, falling, and hitting his head on the corner of the coffee table.
Vatican insiders agree that the hat is indeed a very fine hat. They are worried, however, that the eighty year old defender of traditional Roman Catholic doctrine will be distracted by it, and will fail to do his homework and chores, like taking out the garbage and cleaning up his spacious Vatican City apartment.
"For my birfday, I want a six gun and a holster and a belt and a holster and another six gun and a tin star! I'm gonna be a cowboy. I'm gonna get a horsey and I'll name it Bert and I'll ride it and jump over stuff and shoot some Indians! I'm gonna be a cowboy for ever and ever! It'll be awesome! Wee!"
Bishops close to Benedict caution that he is not actually planning to murder Indians. At worst, they say, he will make 'bang bang' sounds and perhaps say "yippee" or his trademark expression, "wee".
"I wanna be a race car driver! Vroom vroom! Wee!" closed Benedict, before running to the kitchen for milk and cookies.

At least two passengers were removed from an LAX flight bound for New York's Kennedy Airport after a man insisted on using the restroom just before takeoff.
According to LAX spokesperson Nancy Castles and passengers, United Flight 22 was preparing for takeoff when a passenger said he needed to use the restroom. An attendant asked the passenger to sit but he refused.
The attendant considered the passenger's behavior suspicious and alerted the captain. The plane returned to the gate.
Authorities removed two men and took them into custody, according to LAPD spokesperson Lt. John Romero. Passengers reported a third person was removed as well.
Passenger Charlie Rosene was seated two rows behind a passenger that was removed from the plane.
"I was sitting in Row 25, the first guy who was taken off was in Row 23," said Rosene at about 11:30 a.m. "It was 30 seconds before takeoff, and he jumped out of his seat and said, 'I need to go to the bathroom. I need to go to the bathroom.' The flight attendant called that out and saw that as a red flag. He said, 'I'm going.'"
Rosene said the passenger was in the restroom for about 30 seconds. He said the man returned to his seat.
The plane was later moved to a second gate where the pilot told passengers they would be rescreened as a precaution.
The FBI, which is investigating the case, released a statement Monday afternoon.
"A passenger did not comply with airline regulations,'' said the FBI's Laura Eimiller. "The captain of the plane made a discretionary decision to delay departure to that the situation involving the passenger could be investigated.
"There is currently no identifiable threat to the plane or to the passengers. The passenger is being interviewed in connection with the incident, and is cooperative.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the passengers and their carry-on luggage are being re-screened, and the LAPD Bomb Unit has conducted a precautionary search of the aircraft. No criminal charges are anticipated, and the plane will depart to New York as soon as the searches/screening process is concluded."
The plane departed for New York at 12:30 p.m., said Katherine Alvarado of LAX, after a re-screening process was concluded and the plane checked out.

|Searching for clarity
|By Joel Benjamin
|October 24, 2006
Dear Mr. Benjamin,
Hi! I'm a teenaged 2100 player, and for the first time in my life I feel I have enough mental concentration and board vision to analyze crazy, open positions over the board. It's exciting to be able to take a wild position slog through a vast maze of variations, but it's something new to me and I'm slightly unnerved about it. I have a lot of questions: for instance, whenever I reach an open, unbalanced position over the board, I have no idea how much time I can really afford to spend analyzing. (Is there any point in saving time for the endgame if the battle might be decided by a mistake in the next five moves?) And there always seems to be more reasonable candidate moves for me to consider than I could ever have time for! Should I just pick a few and analyze them deeply, or should I spend time looking at them all a little bit and then only pick one to analyze deeply? I suppose it all depends on the situation, but are there any guidelines you can offer me? Here is an example from one of my recent games to illustrate my point. I had the white pieces, and the time control was game in two hours:
1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3 b6 4.Bg2 Bb7 5.0-0 Be7 6.d4 0-0 7.Nc3 d6 8.d5 exd5 9.cxd5 Nbd7 10.Nd4 a5 11.e4 Nc5 12.Re1 Re8 13.Bf1
My opponent had misplayed the opening, and I wanted to play Bf1-b5-c6 with a big edge. But better was the preventative 13.f3 first, to stop my opponent's next move! 13...Nfxe4! 14.Nxe4 Nxe4 15.Rxe4 Bxd5 16.Re1 Qd7 17.Be3 Bf6
At this moment, I saw that no matter how good I thought my position was in the opening, this game was a dogfight now. It seems extremely hard to consolidate my material advantage because, even in the endgame, a 4-2 majority on the queenside, with those bishops targeting b2 and a2, will be great compensation for Black. I felt my best chance would be to point my pieces toward the kingside somehow, and then I could use my extra piece to fuel an attack in the middlegame. With only this vague plan, however, all there was left to do was to calculate variations. My candidate moves were Bd3, Qh5, Bb5, and even h2-h4 with the idea of Kh2 and Bh3 to follow. And not to be completely left out of the question was Bg2, with the idea of trying to retake the long diagonal. (After the bishop exchange I could put my queen on f3.)
Unfortunately for me, after each one of these candidate moves for myself, there was nearly an equal number of candidate moves for Black! For instance, since my goal is a kingside attack, 17. Bd3 was my first candidate. However, I needed to calculate not only 17. ... c5 18. Bb5 (or maybe 18. Bf5 or 18. Nf5 or 18. Nb5) Qb7, seizing the long diagonal, but also 17. ... c5 Bb5 Qh3, or even just 16. ... Qh3 17. f3 (Is 17. Bf1 a draw?) Rxe3 18. Rxe3 Bxd4 and see if I had any hope of saving the pinned piece. (I concluded I didn't.) My other candidate moves could be met with even more varied responses from Black. I spent about half an hour analyzing all the different moves I could think of for myself, perhaps the most interesting of which was 17. Qh5, with the idea that I might try 18. Qh3 next move if my queen was hit with 17... Re5. Unfortunately, by the time I had given each variation a few minutes of calculation, I had no idea whether one variation was really any better than another! There was simply no way I could calculate any of them to a clear position, and I tend to feel that besides the fascination I felt while looking at the lines, my entire hour of thinking time didn't really help me that much! I saw many moves ahead in all my candidate moves, but I couldn't come to any conclusions. Finally, I picked a move that I hadn't previously considered at all, simply because it was the only line that had anything clear at all in it:
I had calculated that if 18...c5 , I could play 19.Nb5 Qc6 20.Nc7 Bf3 21.Nxe8 Bxd1 22.Nxf6+ gxf6 23.Rcxd1, which looked better for White to me, anyhow. That line wasn't by any means forced, but it seemed fairly plausible. So finally I just gave up and went for it. Luckily for me, my opponent actually cashed out of the dizzying calculations and grabbed a pawn - an understandable decision, but without the complications, I was able to carry out my kingside attack.
18...Bxd4 19.Qxd4 Bxa2 20.Bd2 c5 21.Qh4 g6 22.Bc3 d5 23.Bf6 h5 24.Be5 f5 25.Qf6 Kh7 26.Bb5, and I won shortly.
Thanks so much!
Jonathan Hilton,
It is clear that your suggested 13.f3 would maintain White's excellent grip on the position. I don't blame Black for trying 13.Bf1 Nfxe4 because it at least allows Black to gain a bit of freedom. However, this activity is only temporary; a few accurate moves should reel in the point for White. Objectively, you should have been happy to allow the piece sacrifice, which actually brought you closer to victory. I think your assessment is clouded by going from a (very good) position that is easy to play, to a (winning) position that requires more specifics from you.
If you back up one move from your critical position, you can ease the technical process.
Your 17. Be3 Bf6 enabled Black to exert a bit of pressure with his rook and bishop on f6. Instead, 17.Qh5! c6 18.Bg5 neutralizes both those pieces while completing White's development and connecting the rooks. During the game, we can often make a move or two too many before we deeply assess the position. If our attention is diverted elsewhere, we may not even detect these missed opportunities in the post-mortem.
I don't agree with your assessments of the position after 17... Bf6. White has every reason to believe his extra piece will triumph over Black's pawn majority in an endgame because the d5-bishop will not be around anymore. That is the whole point of trading into the endgame; when you eliminate your opponent's active pieces, your extra piece really looms large. The trick is for you to enforce exchanges without allowing the Black pawns to advance. While an extra piece can be an impetus for a kingside attack, here Black has no weaknesses there, and the center is so open Black is likely to have a counterattack if White throws his pieces in that direction.
While you struggled calculating your move eighteen options, you made a practical decision and analyzed the move you chose pretty well.
18.Rc1 was a perfectly logical move, developing the rook with an eye towards controlling the c6-square. I don't think you needed to force anything. You just have to make sure any Black's attempts to increase his counterplay will be rebuffed. After 18... c5 19.Bb5 Qh3 20.Nf3 would win more material; 20... Bb7 21.Bxe8 Rxe8 22.Bf4 leaves Black short of ammunition to make use of the lovely long diagonal. Even if you saw all of that, you could well have doubts calculating that in your head. The line you intended, "sacrificing" your queen, gives you a huge advantage while simplifying the position.
Black's 18... Bxd4 is a typical error. While achieving general material equality, Black then has little chance to combat your initiative.
Very few humans feel confident calculating every position they obtain. If the nature of the position requires calculation, you do the best you can. If you think your decision may be particularly crucial to the development of the game (or may even decide the result) you may be wise to invest a lot of clock time. [Of course, the time control itself is a big issue] How many candidates you consider and how deeply you analyze them is also a factor of how critical the position is. Most of the time you can feel sure the best move is one of two or three candidates - but not always.
Don't be alarmed if you can't conclusively calculate every candidate in the position. Grandmasters often factor this murkiness into their decision process, seeking uncertainty if they are losing or need to create winning chances, and avoiding it if they are winning. If you have a choice between a potentially rewarding continuation that you are unsure about, and a worthy alternative you know you can correctly calculate, you can go for the safer route. [But don't accept a bad option simply because you are unsure of another; then you might as well take your chances]
Remember that properly assessing a position helps you calculate better (as well as knowing how much you need to calculate). If you truly understand the goals of each side, you are better equipped to know what moves to look for.

Ron Palillo
Actor played Arnold Horshack on 'Kotter'
Ron Palillo, 63, an actor whose signature role was Arnold Horshack in the 1970s TV sitcom "Welcome Back, Kotter," died Tuesday of a heart attack in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., said his agent, Jackie Stander.
Along with John Travolta's Vinnie Barbarino, Robert Hegyes' Juan Epstein and Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs' Freddie "Boom Boom" Washington, Palillo's Horshack was one of the original Sweathogs in the James Buchanan High School class taught by Gabe Kaplan's Mr. Kotter.
Horshack was the nasally teen who yelped "Oooh, ooh" and shot his hand skyward whenever Kotter posed a question.
The show ran on ABC from 1975 to 1979. After it ended, Palillo's career stalled.
He said he felt exiled throughout the 1980s, unable to find parts, sinking into depression and rarely venturing from his apartment. When offers did come, he felt typecast as Horshack.
"While I loved him, I really loved him, I didn't want to do him forever," he said in a 1994 interview with the Birmingham (Ala.) News.
He was born Ronald Paolillo on April 2, 1949, in Cheshire, Conn., and eventually dropped the first "o" from his surname. His father died of lung cancer when he was 10 and he developed a stutter. His mother thought getting him involved in a local theater might help. He fell in love with the stage and overcame his speech impediment.
He attended the University of Connecticut and earned parts in Shakespearean productions before his big break.
Palillo had bit parts in shows including "The Love Boat," "Cagney and Lacey" and"The A-Team"and played himself for a time on the series "Ellen." But "Kotter" remained his most well-known acting part, and he focused on stage directing and writing.
More recently Palillo taught acting at a high school in West Palm Beach and was due to return for the upcoming school year.
Al Freeman Jr.
Emmy-nominated actor
Al Freeman Jr., 78, a veteran actor who received an Emmy nomination for his role as Malcolm X in the 1979 miniseries "Roots: The Next Generations" and later portrayed Elijah Muhammad in Spike Lee's epic film "Malcolm X," died Thursday in Washington, D.C., according to Howard University spokeswoman Kerry-Ann Hamilton. The cause has not been determined.
Freeman had taught acting for many years at Howard and also served as chairman and artistic director of its theater arts department.
He earned an NAACP Image Award for playing Malcolm X's mentor in Lee's 1992 biography.
"There were several people in the room, myself included, who had either seen Elijah Muhammad in person or on news film," Paul Lee, a Malcolm X scholar, told Ebony magazine in 1993 while describing rehearsals for the film. "As soon as Al went into his act, there were audible gasps from people who found it difficult to believe that he had nailed such an unusual personality."
Freeman also played Capt. Ed Hall on the ABC soap opera "One Life to Live" for 17 years, winning a Daytime Emmy for best actor in 1979.
Albert Cornelius Freeman Jr. was born March 21, 1934, in San Antonio, where he lived with his mother after she and his father, a jazz pianist, divorced. He served in the Air Force and attended Los Angeles City College before heading to New York for theater roles.
He made his Broadway debut in 1960 in the short-lived "The Long Dream," based on Richard Wright's novel. He also appeared in "Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright," James Baldwin's "Blues for Mister Charlie" and the 1970 musical "Look to the Lilies" on Broadway, as well as New York productions of "The Slave" and "Dutchman," both by LeRoi Jones (now Amiri Baraka).
His film credits, mainly in the 1960s, include "Black Like Me," "Dutchman," "The Detective" and "Finian's Rainbow."
James M. Naughton
Journalist covered Watergate for New York Times
James M. Naughton, 73, a former White House and national correspondent for the New York Times and executive editor at the Philadelphia Inquirer, died of cancer Sunday at his home in St. Petersburg, Fla., according to his wife, Diana Naughton.
James M. Naughton: A brief news obituary of former journalist James M. Naughton in the Aug. 15 LATExtra section misstated when he died. He died Aug. 11, not Aug. 12.
Naughton covered the Nixon administration and the Watergate hearings as Washington correspondent for the New York Times from 1969 to 1977. He then spent almost 20 years at the Philadelphia Inquirer, serving as metro editor, deputy managing editor, managing editor and executive editor. By 1996 when he stepped down, he had overseen work that won the Inquirer a dozen Pulitzer Prizes.
After leaving Philadelphia, he served seven years as president of the nonprofit Poynter Institute for Media Studies in St. Petersburg, retiring in 2003.
Called "the mainstream media's merriest prankster" by Vanity Fair, Naughton once wore a chicken costume to enliven a presidential news conference because he was tired of hearing then-President Ford's stock campaign speech. "In the next news cycle, the chicken head was a bigger story than the president," former NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw told the Tampa Bay Times in 2007.
Born in Pittsburgh on Aug. 13, 1938, Naughton was a high school student in Ohio when he began working for a local newspaper. He studied journalism at the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1960.
After a stint with the Marines, he joined the Cleveland Plain Dealer, covering politics and urban issues from 1962 to 1969 before moving to the New York Times.
"I love being in the company of people who care about the written word, the oral word," Naughton said when he retired from Poynter, according to the Tampa Bay Times. "I love the dark humor and a mix of skepticism and a self-effacing understanding of the role."

After a meeting with the top Republicans on Capitol Hill Thursday to discuss the agenda ahead, President-elect Donald Trump laid out his top three priorities: immigration, health care and jobs.
"We're gonna look very strongly at immigration; we're gonna look at the border. We're gonna look very strongly at health care, and we're looking at jobs — big league jobs," Trump told a throng of reporters after a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, NBC News reported.
While Trump mentioned the border being a top priority within the realm of immigration, he did not specifically mention the construction of a physical wall, something that he campaigned heavily on. Such a wall, however, is estimated to cost tens of billions of dollars.
U.S. & World
Trump was asked if he would ask Congress to ban Muslims from entering the country, a proposal Trump floated on the campaign trail. But Trump ignored the question, said "thank you, everybody" and walked away.

The View From Your Office
Taken at 11:00 AM, facing west.
Like last time, the first person to guess which school this is in comments wins the right to brag about it. Signed comments are preferred, although if you want to win without taking credit for it, I guess that's your right. Once somebody gets it, I'll announce the winner, confirm the campus, and credit the submitter.
Thanks again for all the submissions; we've got some nice views lined up—some of which are going to be substantially more difficult to guess than the ones we've seen so far. But it would be horrible to eventually run out, so don't by shy, Smokers. Let us look out your window.
Update: Lee Faber is the winner! The view is Notre Dame, submitted by Bradley Rettler. The toughest part about this one was ringing in first. Thanks for sharing your view, Bradley, and nice work, Lee.
Here's a wider view from the same window:
Thanks again for playing, and let's keep the views coming.

The only building on campus with sufficient verticality to get this awesome view is the Hesburgh library, and it has almost no windows in its massive tower. Only those who have risen to the top of the graduate student seniority ranking get one of the coveted window carrels. And even then you are twice as likely to have a view of random flatland and the campus powerplant. Only the lucky few out of the lucky few get this view from their window.
On the other hand, whoever said that a great view is conducive to dissertating?

- 2. Why does no one seem to care?
(The following article was sent to me anonymously. It's a timely, accurate, and thoughtful essay that needs to be read by every American.)
Are you aware that we the people are under assault in this country? Maybe not you personally, yet, but when one group of patriots in America is deprived of their freedoms guaranteed to them by the Constitution, it's a hostile invasion of all who stand for liberty. And that is what happened to the ranchers in Harney County, Oregon, in the past weeks, and in Nevada before that. There is a systematic taking of our precious liberties.
Why does no one seem to care?
Where is the media on this? Where are the folks who are focused on restoring our trust lands across the western United States? Are we to sit and watch those among us get incarcerated for ranching? For peacefully protesting the egregious treatment they have received from their own government, for years?
We know that these lands do not belong to the federal government. The federal government manages those lands for we the people under contracts that were supposed to be assigned back to the states years ago. The federal government contracts grazing leases to local ranchers. These grazing leases abut the ranches owned by private citizens of the United States. These ranchers, by and large, are good stewards of the lands they lease to use for grazing. But they are methodically being deprived of the use of the lands owned by we the people, even with legal leases to do so. In Oregon, the Burea of Land Management (BLM) is burning grazing land that is under lease to ranchers for grazing their cattle, and the BLM is burning the cattle, homes, and corrals in the process.Click here to read more

If you haven't been following the Hammond case in Harney County, Oregon, click HERE for the timeline, dating back to the 1970's, of the cruel and corrupt methods used by both the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) and Bureau of Land Management (BLM), to drive this family, and many other ranchers, off their land. Click HERE for a Simple Action You Can Take to Help the Hammond Family.
Ask yourself: Why are we hearing about so many more catastrophic fires ever since--thanks to the environmentalists and federal agencies--private cattle ranchers and lumber operations have been driven off the land? Add to this that the federal government controls 3 out of every 10 acres of land in America and is power hungry for more. Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, said the government's "massive" control over land has preserved less than 1 percent of endangered species and instead harmed individuals whose livelihoods depend on land ownership.
Oregon ranchers Steven Hammond and his father Dwight were sentenced in June 2012 as "Arsenal Terrorists." The maximum punishment for this federal crime is death. So, what did these ranchers do to warrant their time in prison, and the likelihood that they will be imprisoned again?Click here to read more

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Jarkko Nieminen capped Tuesday's play with a "double-bagel" win at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in the Netherlands.
Nieminen blanked David Goffin 6-0, 6-0 in an hour, winning nearly two-thirds of the points in the match. Nieminen won a slightly lower percentage of points (62-63) on serve than off Goffin's serve.
He did face three break points but kept Goffin off the scoreboard by finishing off half of his 12 break opportunities.
No. 2-seeded Juan Martin del Potro didn't drop serve in a 6-3, 6-4 win over Gael Monfils. Del Potro lost only 14 points over 10 games serving.
Also in the first round Tuesday, local favorite Thiemo de Bakker advanced when Mikhail Youzhny retired with a hip injury after de Bakker built a 3-6, 7-6 (7-2), 4-1 lead. Julien Benneteau stopped Tobias Kamke 6-3, 6-2 and Ernests Gulbis was on the court just 50 minutes in a 6-2, 6-1 rout of Robin Haase.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Authorities fired the director of the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy after he failed to investigate a complaint against New England Compounding Center, the company at the center of a deadly U.S. meningitis outbreak, state officials said on Wednesday.
NECC is linked to a meningitis outbreak that has infected more than 400 people and caused 31 deaths.
Massachusetts officials said they uncovered a complaint against NECC by Colorado pharmacy regulators just months before the outbreak. The complaint, which said NECC was distributing drugs without patient-specific prescriptions, was forwarded on July 26 to James Coffey, director of the Massachusetts pharmacy board.
Coffey failed to order an investigation or take any other action on the Colorado complaint, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's interim commissioner, Dr. Lauren Smith, said in a statement.
In the years before the outbreak, NECC escaped harsh punishment from the Massachusetts pharmacy board, raising questions about oversight of the customized drug mixing industry, state records released last month show.
Smith said Coffey has been terminated and the pharmacy board's counsel, Susan Manning, has been placed on administrative leave pending the final conclusions of the investigation.
"It is incomprehensible that Mr. Coffey and Ms. Manning did not act on the Colorado complaint given NECC's past, and their responsibility to investigate complaints," Smith said in a statement. "Following the outbreak, staff also failed to disclose the existence of Colorado's complaint to leadership at" the Department of Public Health.
Coffey was not immediately available for comment.
The Colorado State Board of Pharmacy shared information that showed NECC had distributed many drugs to many hospitals in Colorado between 2010 and 2012, but without patient-specific prescriptions. That was a violation of NECC's Colorado and Massachusetts licenses, according to Smith's statement. NECC was not immediately available for comment.
In 2011, during a routine inspection, Colorado inspectors found that NECC had participated in the unregistered/unlicensed distribution of prescription drugs in Colorado. As a result, Colorado issued a cease-and-desist order against NECC in April 2011.
"I find the actions of NECC reprehensible," Smith said in the statement. "We have the right to expect that all companies producing medication for use in delivering health care to comply with laws designed to protect patient safety. But I also expect the staff charged with oversight to perform their duties to the highest standards. That failed to happen here."

HORTON — Renovation of Horton Mission Lake East (½ mile north of Highway 20 on the east edge of Horton) is complete, and it is time to get out and enjoy this revitalized fishery. Mission Lake was opened to fishing on May 23.
Since the fishery was cleaned out last August, several thousand fish have been stocked, including fathead minnows, bluegill, black crappie, and largemouth bass. Some of these were smaller hatchery fish; however, a good portion were adults that were relocated from surrounding waters.
Is there a keeper fish behind every clump of vegetation or in every new brush pile? Probably not, but when Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) biologists sampled the lake in mid-May, they saw a healthy young fishery. And since the renovation, water clarity has improved to more than 4 feet, much better than the 4-7 inches the lake used to have.
In addition to improving the fishery, staff have made several new additions to lake facilities, including a concrete boat ramp, courtesy dock, several fishing piers, two fish feeders, and several new campsites with electrical hookups.

In March 2013, Dinahmite was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. We celebrated her 13th birthday in May. July 11,2013 Dinahmite passed.
I will be forever grateful for our adventures shared.
In August of 2014, Tigerbuddy was diagnosed with Cushing's disease. The vet gave Tiger a medicine called Vetoryl 60mg. Give 2 capsules once a day. Sunday, September 14, 2014 at 10:15AM when Tigerbuddy went to play with Dinahmite. Tiger had a horrible reaction to Vetoryl which in turn hastened his death.
To whom may read this: Cushing's disease in dogs can be treated with proper guidance and your dog friend can live years more.
I have not been very active on my blog due to too much to list.
Love you both.

UH Manoa researcher wins national agricultural award for hydroponics studyUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
UH Mānoa horticulturalist Bernard A. Kratky has won a top national agricultural award for his study on a new method of growing lettuce hydroponically. The American Society for Plasticulture (ASP) honored him with its Best Paper Award at the opening of the 34th National Agricultural Plastics Congress, in Tampa, Florida, last month.
Dr. Kratky is with UH Mānoa's College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the Beaumont Agricultural Research Center in Hilo. In addition to the research reported in his award-winning paper, Bernie's current projects include development of a non-circulating
sub-irrigation hydroponic method for growing vegetables which does not encourage mosquitoes, ralstonia control in ginger, and hydroponic production of watercress.
He holds five U.S. patents, including two for non-circulating hydroponic plant growing systems. This paper is his18th presentation at the National Agricultural Plastics Congress. Co-authors were UH Agricultural Technicians Gaillane Maehira and Eric Magno and Drs. M.D. Orzolek and W.J. Lamont, of Pennsylvania State University.

See these poor souls? They're the sad sacks who ended up sitting in the heat during the ESPYs Red Carpet Show, which, if you're extremely lonely and sad, you'll be watching this Sunday night. We can't imagine what would be worse than having to sweat and watch Stuart Scott refer to the night "of phat entertainment." That's one term; we can think of a few more.
Anyway, blogger Farther Off The Wall has the full scoop of the red carpet, with everyone smiling and trying to pretend this is not a thoroughly depressing enterprise. The highlights include Pat O'Brien leering at Danica Patrick — honestly, a world where Mike Cooper is jail and this guy is free to roam the streets is a deeply unjust one — Matt Leinart hanging out with that weird Schwab guy and, our favorite, a random appearance by a sadly non-mulleted Doug Flutie.
Also, enjoy one of the more terrifying Berman photos we've seen in a while. And we apologize: We have already devoted more to this that we ever should have.

Christians Courageous, by Aloysius Roche is a very wonderful book. It depicts the lives of 14 heroes of the Catholic Faith. The tales are spread out from the Roman persecution to early English monasticism to Hawaii at the end of the 1880's. It shows the courage Catholics have shown throughout their history to bring the message of Christ to all people. These 14 men would climb to the top of the world in order to preach the Gospel, and one actually did!
I very much enjoyed the book. However, the book lays claim to being written for youthful readers. While the story structures are clearly toward that level of education, the vocabulary and the amount of knowledge needed to enjoy the book, as much as it deserves, is more of an early high school level. This being said, as a read aloud this book would keep most young listeners on the edge of their seats. It is perfectly suited for a read aloud. Each story is short enough to finish in one sitting, and most are jam packed with action to keep young people interested for the time it takes to read. I would recommentd this book for any person from about twelve years and up, but younger that that if they do not have to work through the book themselves. Reviewer: Daniel Collins

ON MENTAL ILLNESS: Medication is Not Always the Magic Bullet
Taking medication is important for most people who suffer from a psychiatric illness. Since these illnesses are usually caused by a brain malfunction, they (the psychiatric illnesses) must be addressed by addressing the problem. Mental illnesses are believed to be caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters in the brain. Psychiatric medication changes the balance of neurotransmitters.
It may be impossible with current medical technology to fix the balance of neurotransmitters perfectly. However, if the medication is functioning ideally, it gets the person's brain into the "ballpark" of normal functioning.
Psychiatric medications are currently not developed enough to be site specific. This means that in order to correct a problem in one area of the brain, you're introducing a change to the entire brain with the medications. For example, if a person is psychotic, there is a specific area near the middle of the brain that is believed to have excessive dopamine and/or serotonin. The antipsychotic medication lowers the effect of these neurotransmitters in the entire brain. Thus, you have a lot of side effects. Sometimes, one of them is depression.
Antidepressants and mood stabilizers, in comparison with antipsychotics, will have other side effects. Prozac and some other antidepressants can trigger a manic episode, and can affect someone in a similar manner to a stimulant. Mood stabilizer medication, which is used to treat bipolar illness, has the effect of not letting a person get up too high (and hopefully not too low) on the mood scale. These medications can also directly slow a person down. This could be part of the reason that mood stabilizers can cause weight gain.
None of the medications that today are used to treat persons with mental illness are without some kind of significant side effect. Drugs haven't been invented that exactly replace a missing brain enzyme. Some day, we hope that such drugs will be invented.
Synthroid, for example, used to treat hypothyroidism, is produced by a strain of bacteria that has been genetically engineered using human genes to secrete something that exactly mimics the human thyroid hormone. The same goes for today's insulin-it is no longer extracted from cow livers. It is manufactured in a lab with genetically engineered bacteria.
Why can't the same technology be used for psychiatric illnesses? I don't know how close we are to scientists being able to exactly replace a missing brain enzyme to treat mental illness. I do know that the latest round of antipsychotic medications leave much to be desired. While these medications may work to alleviate much of a person's psychosis, the new medications have severe health risks, and worse side effects compared to the older generation of medications.
When "atypical antipsychotics," as they're called, were first discovered, they were promoted as not having the same life-ruining side effects as the older medications, one side effect being "Tardive Dyskinesia." This refers to involuntary movements of the mouth, face, and upper body which are disfiguring and disabling.
The new generation of medications, contrary to the exaggerated claims of their enthusiasts (the drug companies and some psychiatrists), do sometimes cause Tardive Dyskinesia. It was originally assumed that they did not, but the substances had just been invented. It takes several years of being on a medication for the Tardive Dyskinesia to appear. The medications originally had not been tested on humans long enough to know.
Imagine trying to shave, brush your teeth, drive a car or carry on a conversation when your face is moving and twitching all over the place. People see that and they automatically think "weirdo" and will shun that individual because of the disfigured appearance produced by this problem.
Medication will do some things to help you if you have a mental illness. While you may be sedated or have other side effects, the medication may restore you to a workable state of mind. Medications do not do a perfect job of restoring the mind. But once you have a foothold on "normal" you may potentially be able to use cognitive exercises to get to an emotional state that is more acceptable. Otherwise, life could at least be tolerable if on medications other than ones that (it varies from person to person) have unbearable side effects.
A person with mental illness should not rely on medication to solve all emotional problems. With medication, there will always be some level of discomfort, unless a person is sedated into oblivion. A certain level of discomfort should be tolerated before looking for a change. If things are completely unbearable, then yes, medication ought to be changed. This would entail addition of a new medication and/or getting off an existing medication, or could entail changing dosages.
However, it is clear that the right medications for persons with mental illness, while they may be a prerequisite to getting well, are not the entire answer. As an adjunct to medication, some type of techniques of mindfulness ought to be used. This could be Zen meditation, it could be Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or it could be some other type of non-chemical therapeutic treatment that helps the mind let go of what is not needed.
I find that the meditation that I do, which is my own brand of acceptance of emotions, can also be helpful with the side effects of medication. Physical exercise can also help to alleviate some side effects. Although I don't exercise, even though I should.
Medication is a necessary evil for most people with mental illness and can not be depended upon to fix everything. Once stabilized on medication, the journey to wellness has only begun.

The movement of planets, stars, the Moon and the Sun have long been linked to changes in the seasons, the tide and other natural cycles. For thousands of years, astrology has claimed that these planetary bodies also have a bearing on human fortune and the behaviour of the body - including health and illness.
In ancient Egypt astrology was one of many divination techniques used for uncovering the causes of disease. It was also widely used in ancient Greece and Rome. It even forms part of the Ayurvedic medical tradition, in India, where the Virasimhavaloka, written in 1383, provides detailed descriptions of how each part of the body is controlled by different constellations. The Chinese system of astrology uses the movements of the Moon in relation to the planets, rather than the Sun. It also incorporates the system of the five elements used in Chinese medicine: wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
Although it is a non-Christian tradition, astrology had enormous influence in medieval and early modern Europe, principally between 1450 and 1700. When it came to medicine, astrologers believed that the 12 signs of the zodiac ruled over parts of the body - Aries, for example, ruled the head and neck, while Scorpio ruled the reproductive organs, the gall bladder and the rectum. Familiarity with this astrological theory formed an important part of the skills of medieval doctors. Astrological charts were published to help doctors calculate horoscopes, and 'zodiac men' drawings showed them which signs controlled certain parts of the body.
Astrological advice continues to be widely available today, across the world, although its medical aspects have given way to more general information on peoples' financial fortunes and love lives.

I'm somewhat amused at one of the more recent comments here – Nathan L. Walls defends his "choice" of Ruby with some very woolly justifications (emphasis mine):
"Ruby's community feels more vibrant. No, not something you can measure. It is a feeling."
"Yes, there are equivalents in Perl, but they are far rougher. Again, not really measurable, but a feeling."
Of course, his day job is still writing Perl. Moving swiftly on…
The main thing I got out of the comment apart from a chuckle, was it motivated me to look at Devel::REPL.
One of the other main tools in my toolbox is emacs and when writing emacs lisp, I make full use of the REPL. But I've never even wanted an equivalent in Perl.
cpanm invocation later and I'm ready.
Wait, no I'm not. I copied Caleb's repl.rc config to make it more usable. I added
MultiLine::PPI which resulted in a bunch of errors at start-up. It turns out I need to add
File::Next and
B::Keywords separately.
$ cpanm File::Next $ cpanm B::Keywords
Okay, now I'm good to go.
First REPL session
$ jared@localhost $ re.pl $ sub f $ { > say 'h'; > say 'hello'; > } h hello 1 $ f(); Runtime error: Undefined subroutine &Devel::REPL::Plugin::Packages::DefaultScratchpad::f called at (eval 290) line 5. $ sub f { > say 'h'; > say 'hello'; > } $ f(); h hello 1 $
It still isn't quite perfect. But to be honest, I find it (and the Python and irb REPLs) pretty useless. I probably need to look into integrating it with emacs comint.
