Gibbons. Again.
Lost in all of the heroics accomplished yesterday at the end of the game was another clutch kick by Gibbons. Granted, it was just a little longer than an extra-point kick, but still clutch.
Two years ago an end of the game kick like that to either tie or win the game would have been nerve-racking, with a lot of praying and pleading.
Nothing. Didn't even have a microsecond of thinking he'd miss it.

Yosemite, the US's third National Park and more recently a World Heritage Site, is also one of the most popular National Parks in the USA, with over four million visitors per year. From the floor of the half-mile-wide main valley featured in this model rise a number of impressive formations: Yosemite Falls' 2400' three-stage waterfall, El Capitan's sheer 3300' cliff face, Royal Arches, and Half Dome, which rises 4700' from the valley floor at an impossibly steep angle. Bridalveil Fall, a picturesque 600' waterfall, originates from a ravine that has already fallen 2000' before plunging to the rocks on the valley floor, but then becomes a wide stream braiding through the forest before reaching the Merced River. One of my favorite places on Earth, Glacier Point, offers a panoramic view over the main valley some 3200' below. Follow the Mist Trail out the East end of the valley, past Sierra Point and Grizzly Peak, past Vernal Fall and Emerald Pool, to Liberty Cap---another impressive granite dome---and the beginning of Little Yosemite Valley. All of these features come to life in an accurate, three-dimensional map that you can hold in your hands.
This piece, centered on the main valley, includes all of the aforementioned sites plus over 70 square miles of glacially-carved granite-filled landscape. We hope that, as you run your fingers across this impressive terrain, you will find lonely sharp peaks and hidden valleys not featured on flat maps, and be inspired to seek them out in person.

Undergrad researchers carve mathematics out of wood for summer project
It takes just 10 cuts to turn a rectangular block of wood into a working set of pliers. Describing how that works mathematically turned out to be the real challenge for five JMU students who formed an interdisciplinary undergraduate research team this summer.
The team consisted of two engineering majors, juniors Michael Caple and Lisha White; and three math majors, junior Santiago Morales-Diaz, and seniors Traymon Beavers and Zeke Mihelcic. Each member of the team earned $4,000 stipends for their six weeks of work on the project, a program designed to provide research experience for undergraduates from underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields.
For the past seven summers, the program—Mentoring Minorities Matters, or M-Cubed—was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the Mathematical Association of America and the National Security Agency. When the grant was not funded this year, JMU's College of Science and Mathematics and the College of Integrated Science and Engineering filled the void.
"The M-Cubed program has been very successful over the last several years. It has created opportunities for students to dive into problems and discover solutions," said Dr. David Brakke, dean of the College of Science and Mathematics. "We want to expand the opportunities for our students to work together and to develop skills and capacities. Our efforts like M-Cubed have directly led to student persistence and success."
During a presentation of their research July 23 to President Jonathan Alger and Provost Jerry Benson, the team said one of the most interesting findings was how different forms of math, such as geometry, linear algebra and calculus, can complement each other to describe a process like the mechanics of the pliers. To complete the project, the students had to use computer modeling and also had to print prototypes of the pliers with 3-D printers.
Dr. Anthony Tongen, a professor of mathematics and statistics who started the M-Cubed program, said the group will be writing a paper about their research and submitting it for publication in a scientific journal.
Tongen said he hopes to come up with more stable external funding to continue and expand the program.

Hello, after seeing so many awesome threads on members collections it has inspired me to put a little of mine up as well. I wanted to share how I ended up here after many years of being in the dark.
I have the usual story of being amazed by Street Fighter and its clones in the early 90's. I used to think that having a SNES with SFII was the best thing ever. I soon learned, as many others have, that nothing replicates the arcade. I thought the Dreamcast came close, so spent some years amassing all the 2D fighters and Shumps I could find for that. But it also veered me on a curious root of ASCII controllers and sticks of which I need one more.
It has only been recently, following a promotion at work, that I realised my dream of being in the elite! Albeit small with only a handful of common games, I feel right at home now. Being able to stack those giant boxes next to the timid jewel cases of my past feels like an achievement. I look forward to being a stand up member of the Neo Geo community and look forward to making new friends.

Serial Communication
Uses RS-232C standard with DB9 or DB25. Transmits data sequentially over a single conductor either synchronously or asynchronously. The Primary Synchronous Control Signals are:
Serial Data Out (TxD) - Used to Transmit Data.
Serial Data Receive (RxD) - Used to Receive Data.
Data Terminal Ready (DTR) - Used to tell receiver that data is ready to be sent. Connected to the DSR on the receiving hardware.
Data Set Ready (DSR) - Used on the Receiver to indicate it is ready.
System Ground - Ground Reference Voltage between two devices.
Parallel Communication
Transmits data over eight conductors in parallel. Signals are either control signals or data signals. Control signals are used to synchronise the devices (Handshaking).
Primary Parallel Control Signals
Acknowledgement - Used to inform the transmitting device that data was received and the receiver is ready for more.
AutoFeed - Used to inform the printer to generate an auto line feed.
Busy - Used to inform sender that receiver is busy.
Error - Used by receiver to indicate an error.
Init - Used by sender to initialise the receiver.
Slct - Used by the receiver to ack a Slctln.
SlctIn - Used by the sender to select a device.
Strobe Asserted - Used by the receiver to inform that data is present on the lines.
Types of Connectors
Connectors are either Male (Pins) or Female (sockets).
DB9 - Trapezoid, Video display and Serial ports.
DB25 - Trapezoid, Parallel and Serial ports.
RJ-11 - Phone line, 4 Wires UTP.
RJ-14 - Dual line phone jacks, Not Common.

Serial Ports are male on the PC (DB9 or DB25)
Parallel Ports are female on the PC (DB25)
Video is female on the PC (DB9)
Mini/DIN is female on the PC (PS/2)
IDE Devices
Integrated Drive Electronics are controllers for Hard Drives, CD-ROMS and any other compliant device. The Controller is on the device itself.
IDE < 528MB so EIDE (Enhanced) was developed.
Uses 40 Pin Cables.
Floppy uses 34 pin Cables.
CMOS has to be aware of the set-up of any E/IDE devices.
Normally two channels and only two devices can be on each channel.
If more than one device is on a channel you have to set it to Master or Slave operation. This determines which controller takes precedent. This is set through jumpers.
SCSI Devices
Small Computer Systems Interface allows you to connect multiple devices to one cable. The Card is the controller so it removes overhead from the Drive itself and the CPU.
SCSI-1 - 8 Bit Bus, DB-25 or Centronics-50, 5MBps, Device 0 to 7
Wide - 16 Bit Bus, Device 0 to 15
Fast - 10MBps, Device 0 to 7
Fast-Wide - 16 Bit Bus, 20MBps, Device 0 to 15
SCSI-3 - 16 Bit Bus, 40MBps, Device 0 to 15
PS/2 machines give priority to the lower numbered ports. Other machine to the higher.
The adapter is always given the ID of 0 on PS/2 machines or ID 7 for most others.
The first hard disk is ID 1 on PS/2 and ID 0 for most others.
CD-ROM devices are ID 3
Slower devices are given slower IDs.
Internal SCSI uses 50 pin ribbon connectors.
External cables are female DB-25, Centronics 50, mini-50, or mini-68.
Both ends of the cable must be terminated. Some devices have inbuilt termination which can be set via jumpers.
Basic Input-Output System contains the system settings for the computer. These are stores on a memory chip located on the motherboard. The settings are removed from BIOS when you turn the computer off, but are restored from the CMOS at boot time. The CMOS is powered by the battery. (Complimentary Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor).
Flash BIOS means that the BIOS can be upgraded via a software Flash Program from the BIOS vendor.
Removable BIOS means that to Upgrade you have to physically remove and replace the BIOS chip.
System Optimization
Memory - Basically free up conventional memory between 0K and 640K. You can Load DOS into the high memory area by adding the following line to the CONFIG.SYS. DOS = HIGH. Another way to free up conventional memory is to load TSRs into upper memory. To do this you must first load EMM386.EXE. You can then use DEVICEHIGH and LOADHIGH.
Hard Drives - Hard Drives become fragmented. De-Fragment them with the DOS command DEFRAG.
Cache Memory - To improve performance add more.
Never wear an electrostatic wrist strap when working near a monitor
Electricity comes into the house AC, Computers use DC
The DC current is fed to your computer in two forms +-5Vdc and +-12Vdc
Diagnosing and Troubleshooting
This section is concerned with the knowledge to diagnose and resolve various FRU faults.
POST Audible/Visible Error Codes
The Power On Self Test happens every time you boot the computer. It is used to diagnose system related problems that are found in hardware or BIOS. Anything other than a single beep indicates a fault.
Error Range
- System Board Problem
- Memory Error
- Keyboard Problem
- Video Problems, Monochrome
- Video problems, Colour
- Floppy Disk Errors
- Hard Disk Problems
Common Error Codes
Error Code
Error Message
CMOS Battery Failure
CMOS Battery needs to be replaced
Memory Size Error
Occurs after a memory upgrade
Memory Test Failed
One or more of the RAM Chips failed
Keyboard Did Not Respond
Indication that the keyboard may need cleaning
Keyboard or System Unit Error
Indicates a bad keyboard that needs to be replaced
Parallel Port test failed
Reported with Monochrome adapters. Will need to replace the adapter.
Safety & Preventive Maintenance
This section is concerned with preventive maintenance, safety and disposal requirements.
Liquid cleaning compounds such as isopopyl alcohol can be used to clean contacts and read/write heads via a cleaning diskette.
Rubber knifes can be used to remove hardened residue. Do not use metal knives.
Always vacuum out the case whenever you get the chance to reduce the build up of dust and also static electricity.
Power Issues
Brownouts Momentary lapse in power.
Power Spike Huge Increase in power for a split second.
Power Surge Like a spike but lower power.
A UPS protects your PC from brownouts, spikes, surges and dirty current. This is accomplished by several components in the UPS such as suppressers, noise filters, and surge protectors.
Suppressers - Absorbs or blocks the spike and protects against surges.
Noise Filters - Noise caused by Electro-Magnetic Interference(EMI) is reduced.
Monitors are high voltage components. Never wear an ESD wrist strap when handling monitors.
To discharge a monitor, connect a wire around the screwdriver and ground the wire. Use the screwdriver to prise the anode lead from the back of the CRT.
Disposal Procedures:
* Batteries - Batteries should be disposed of in accordance with guidelines issued for your region. Never through them in the household waste.
* Toner Kits - Toner cartridges are recyclable. Normally the vendor will take these from you.
* Computers - Give away to charity or contact a specialist.
Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) - These are white pages that contain information on any substance that is deemed hazardous.
Electro-Static Discharge
This can cause catastrophic damage where the device is inoperable or it can cause degradation in a component which may still perform. Hidden ESD is a static discharge that you can not feel. You only feel ESD above 30,000 volts however components can still be damaged below 30,000 volts. To protect against ESD you can use ant-static mats, bags and an ESD wriststrap. You can ground the wrist strap to the earth pin on a wall socket. Also remove all metallic jewelery. Humidity below 50% leads to static.
Motherboard, Processors, Memory
This section is concerned with terminology and classifications of hardware.
CPU Chips:
8088 - Used an 8-bit bus and ran at 4.77MHz
386 - Could handle up to 16MB of memory. 386SX had a 16bit data bus and operated at 16, 20, 25, and 33 MHz. 386DX had a 32bit data bus and operated at 16, 20, 25, and 33 MHz.
486 - Four types the SX, DX, DX2 and DX4. The bus for all is 32bit. An 8bit on chip cache was introduced also a Maths Co-Processor was in-build but disables on the SX.
586(Pentium Class) - 64bit data bus, 16bit cache. Combines two 486DX chips into one using the Dual Independent Bus Architecture resulting in true parallel processing. Heat sinks were required due to the large amount of heat generated.
686(Pentium II Class) - Integrated MMX technology. Uses Slot 1 instead of a socket.
Random Access memory(RAM):
Static RAM(SRAM) - SRAM doesnt have to be constantly refreshed. Uses a lot of power. Used in old IBM XT machines and was limited to 256K per chip.
Dynamic RAM(DRAM) - DRAM use capacitors instead of transistors and switches. Needs constant refresh.
Windows RAM(WRAM) - Specific to speed up graphical windows operations.
Extended Data Output RAM(EDO RAM) - Has a cache on the chip and is 10-15% faster than DRAM. Requires a special motherboard.
Memory comes in 30 or 72 pin SIMMs or 168 pin DIMMS
Bus Architectures:
Industry Standard Architecture(ISA) - This was introduced on AT computers. Allowed a 16-bit data bus. Used in 286 and 386SX PCs.
Extended Industry Standard Architecture(EISA) - Introduced to compete against IBMs MCA. Uses a 32-bit data bus. Used in 386DX and 486 PCs.
Peripheral Component Interconnect(PCI) - Designed to use Pentium Processors. Uses a 64-bit data bus. Uses a bridge circuit to be processor independent.
Universal Serial Bus(USB) - A new technology for Plug and Play devices allowing up to 12Mbps.
VESA Local Bus(VL_Bus) - Used for Video cards on top of EISA.
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association(PCMCIA) - Now called PC Card. Used in Laptops. Currently only 16-bit data bus.
Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor(CMOS)
The BIOS can only hold setting when the machine is on. Once it loses power it loses the settings. Upon re-boot these are loaded from CMOS which is powered by a battery.
Basic CMOS Settings:
Printer Parallel Port
Unidirectional - Single direction communication.
Bi-directional Two directional communication. Used by HP printers.
ECP(Extended Capability Port) Same as Bi-directional but uses a DMA to bypass processor and speed up transfer.
EPP(Enhanced Parallel Port) Same as bi-directional and offers an extended control code set.
COM/Serial Port
Memory Address Each COM port requires a unique memory address.
IRQ - Every COM port requires a unique IRQ to talk to the CPU.
COM1 = IRQ4 and 03F8
COM2 = IRQ3 and 02F8
Hard Drives
Size The Size is automatically detected by the computer.
Primary Master/Secondary Slave
Each hard drive has a controller built in the drive that controls the drive.
If two drives were on the same channel the adapter could get confused.
By setting one as a master it tells it which is in charge.
CDROMS on secondary channel alone are always set to slave.
Tracks Each Ring.
Sector Pie Slices.
Cylinder Combination of identical tracks
This section explains the basic types of printers, concepts and how they work.
Types of Printers:
Daisy Wheel Printers
Uses impact method to imprint a character from a daisy wheel. Similar to a typewriter in operation. Excellent quality for text but no graphics. Uses a Ribbon
Dot Matrix Printers
Uses a matrix of pins to imprint an image. Uses a Ribbon. ROM programs the Fonts.
Bubble Jet Printers
Non Contact therefore quiet. Works by spraying ink onto the paper in a sequential fashion. Similar in operation to a dot matrix printer.
Laser Printers
Uses a Page Description Language (PDL) to print a page at a time. Main components are:
Cleaning Blade - This rubber blade removes excess toner off the drum after the print process has completed.
Photosensitive Drum - The core of the electrophotographic process. Involved in the six step EP process.
Primary Corona Wire - Highly negatively charged wire erases the charge on the Photosensitive drum to make it ready for another image.
Transfer Corona - A roller that contains a positively charged wire to pull the toner off the photosensitive drum and place it on the page.
Toner - Plastic Resin. Naturally Negatively charged
Fusing Rollers - Final stage of the EP process. Bonds the toner particles to prevent smearing. Uses heat to bond.
Electrophotographic Print Process(EP):
The process concerned with putting the image on the page. Follows Six processes.
Cleaning The Drum is cleaned and electrically erased.
Charging The Drum is negatively charged to 5000Vdc. Done by the Primary Corona.
Writing The Laser sweeps the length of the drum applying the image. The Laser reduces the negative charge on the drum where the image is going to be.
Developing The Toner is transferred to the area on the drum which has been swept by the laser.
Transferring - Once the image is on the drum the paper is fed through and the transfer corona wire attracts the image from the drum to the paper.
Fusing - The Fusing rollers heat up and pass the paper through bonding the toner to the paper. Uses a Non stick roller surface.
Blank Pages - Can be caused by No Toner, Transfer Corona Failure or HVPS Failure.
Speckled Pages - Due to a failure in the cleaning step of the EP Process. Or a scratch on the EP drum.
Ghosted Images - Caused if the erasure lamp doesnt erase all of the image from the EP drum before the next page is printed.
Smudged Images - The fusing process must have failed. The heating elements in the fusing rollers may be faulty.
Bubble Jet Printers - Never refill cartridges which are causing problems. The head is part of the cartridge so replace the entire cartridge.
Portable Systems
This section is concerned with the knowledge of Portable Computers and there hardware.
Battery Types and Installation:
Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) Low Power, Long Charge Time, Memory
Nickel Metal Hydride (MiMH) Medium Power, Shorter Charge Time, No Memory
Lithium Ion (L-ION) Good Power, Short Charge Time, Light, No Memory, Expensive.
Portable Displays
Older portables use CRTs Very Bulky, Heavy and poor quality. Nowadays Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) are used. These are flat and lightweight. There are two major types of LCD screens:
Passive Matrix(Dual Scan) - Very Common, Low power but lower quality. Uses a grid of horizontal and vertical wires. These have problems with moving images and display ghosting.
Active Matrix(TFT) - Based on Thin Film Transistor (TFT) where a transistor is at every pixel. Allows a much quicker refresh but uses more power. Comparable in quality to a CRT.
LCD Displays are not serviceable but may be cleaned with specialist cleaning materials.
PCMCIA and PC Cards
PCMCIA or PC Card is a standard interface to add credit card sized peripherals to PCs. Three versions are now available.
PCMCIA type I - Only used for memory cards. 68 Pin.
PCMCIA type II - Used for I/O devices such as Modems or Network Cards.
PCMCIA type III - Used for rotating mass storage such as hard drives.
DOS System Files:
DOS System files consist of:
AUTOEXEC.BAT - Located in the Root and automatically executed at start-up. Runs Programs (Prompt, WIN, CLS etc) and set commands (Path, Comspec etc..). Also calls other batch files. This is not required for OS Start-up.
CONFIG.SYS - Located in the Root and automatically loaded by MSDOS.SYS. This loads low level device drivers for hardware and memory drivers such as HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE. This is not required for OS Start-up.
IO.SYS - Located in the Root and defines basic Input/Output routines for the processor. Is Hidden and Read Only. This IS required for OS start-up.
MSDOS.SYS - Located in the Root and defines system file locations. Is Hidden and Read Only. This IS required for OS start-up.
COMMAND.COM - This is the command specifier. It is responsible for the command prompt and contains all the internal commands such as DIR, COPY, and CLS. Located normally in the Root directory but can be located elsewhere and specified in the Autoexec.bat with a "SET COMSPEC=". This carries no attributes and is required for OS start-up.
HIMEM.SYS - Controls Extended Memory management in the extended memory area. Located in C:\DOS and is not required for OS start-up.
EMM386.EXE - Controls Expanded memory in the upper memory area. Located in C:\DOS and is not required for OS start-up.
ANSI.SYS - Located in C:\DOS and is used by CONFIG.SYS if required to load a character set. Not required for System Start-up.
WINDOWS 3.x
Windows 3.x System files consist of:
WIN.INI - Contains configuration information for Windows Applications. An ASCII text file located in the C:\WINDOWS directory. Looks after printing as well. Can cripple the system.
SYSTEM.INI - Contains specific system and hardware settings for windows. An ASCII text file located in the C:\WINDOWS directory. Errors can cripple or make Windows inoperable.
Three files make up the Windows core components: Kernel, User, and GDI. The kernel files (KRNL286.EXE or KRNL386.EXE) control and allocate all the computer resources to manage memory, load applications, and schedule program execution and other tasks.
USER.EXE - creates and maintains windows on the screen, carrying out all requests to create, move, size, or remove a window. USER.EXE also handles requests regarding the icons and other components of the user interface. USER.EXE directs input to the appropriate application from the keyboard, mouse, and other input sources.
GDI.EXE - controls the Graphics Device Interface, which executes graphics operations that create images on the system display and other devices.
WIN.COM - This is the actual file that runs Windows 3.x. It is made during install and cannot be found on any installation disk.
WIN.COM performs three functions.
Find out what processor is in the computer.
Switch to the appropriate graphics mode and display the *.LGO file.
Load the Windows Graphics Advert. This is an .RLE file.
Windows 95 System files consist of:
IO.SYS - Same as for DOS. This is because WINDOWS 95 is bootable.
MSDOS.SYS - Same as for DOS but doesnt contain system code.
COMMAND.COM - Same as for DOS.
WIN.INI - For 16-bit compatibility.
SYSTEM.INI - For 16-bit compatibility.
SYSTEM.DAT - Hardware related Registry.
USER.DAT - User related Registry.
OS Start-up Environments
Windows 3.x:
DOS loads first.
User enters WIN.COM
WIN.COM checks Processor, Graphics Mode , Loads Banner then passes to WIN386.EXE
WIN386.EXE switches CPU to Protected Mode.
The Kernel is Loaded.
Reads SYSTEM.INI
Loads Drivers.
Graphics Subsystem is loaded (GDI.EXE and USER.EXE)
Desktop Manager is started (PROGMAN.EXE).
WIN.INI is read and PROGMAN.INI
Windows 95 runs in a very similar way but WIN95 only supports protected mode and no switch exists for real mode.
Also there is a reliance on the registry.
Memory Management
First 640k is Conventional Memory
640k to 1024k is Upper Memory
Above 1024k is Extended Memory
HIMEM.SYS is loaded in CONFIG.SYS as the first driver to manage the Extended Memory are and to convert this to XMS (Extended Memory Specification). The first 64k of extended memory has been labelled High Memory (HMA). DOS can be put here by putting DOS=HIGH in CONFIG.SYS.
EMM386.EXE is loaded in CONFIG.SYS after HIMEM.SYS has been successfully loaded. This is used in the hardware reserved 384k of space in upper memory (640k-1024k) and creates EMS(Extended Memory Specification).
Virtual Memory relies upon EMS (therefore EMM386.EXE) and uses hard disk space as memory.

Vintage Victory: Industrial Inspiration from Another Era
In addition to the bulls-eye pillows that sparked a debate two weeks ago, Run Run Studio Inc. also makes vintage victory-inspired pillows, recalling the days of World War II. Amy at Red Barn Mercantile had some suggestions for us as to what might go with such pillows.
We can totally see this working in a basement office, especially a basement in the patriotic, political Mid-Atlantic for a bit pre mid-century nostalgia. Even one piece would add some fun vintage-ness.
• 1 Victory pillows, $145 at Red Barn Mercantile
• 2 Swiss Army-blanket chair, $925 at Red Barn. Even a Swiss Army throw would be an awesome addition.
• 3 War posters at South Pointe Gallery (You can also find posters at Style de Vie).
• 4 Tanker desk at
• Another Swiss Army Blanket
• Army Blanket by Ouno

For incoming Princeton University freshmen, the first piece of required reading will come from the shelves here at Princeton University Press. As part of the university's Pre-Read program, which was initiated last year by President Christopher L. Eisgruber, members of the class of 2018 will be reading Meaning in Life and Why It Matters by Susan Wolf.
So, what is the idea behind this book? When we pick up a friend from the airport, bake a chocolate cake, or visit a loved one in the hospital, we're not doing it for our own self-interest or for the greater good. In fact, the reasons and things that make our lives worth living often have nothing to do with the egoistic or altruistic motives that most people, including philosophers, think drive people to act. According to Susan Wolf, meaningfulness—not happiness or morality—makes our lives worth living.
In Meaning in Life and Why It Matters, Wolf argues that meaning comes from loving objects worthy of love and engaging with them in a positive way. That is, we act out of love for objects that we rightly perceive as worthy of love—and it is these actions that give meaning to our lives. Wolf makes a compelling case that, along with happiness and morality, this kind of meaningfulness is an essential element of human well-being.
Princeton reports on the choice of Wolf's book in a recent article, which includes the president's thoughts on this year's selection:
"It is a superb example of engaged, ethical writing, and I hope that it will introduce the freshmen to the kinds of scholarship they will encounter at Princeton," President Eisgruber says. "The book also includes short critical comments by four distinguished scholars, along with reply from Wolf — as such, it models for students how one can disagree with a thesis in a way that is simultaneously rigorous, constructive and collegial. Finally, a key point in Wolf's argument pertains to the objectivity of value and why it matters; that question is important, and it inspires lively argument among undergraduates."
Read the full story from Princeton here.

I heard Chuck Norris uses Mangrates.
I heard he has used them to win every cooking award and door prize ever given out at every Eggfest...nationwide.
Im not asking you to, pick up your phone and exercise your fingers and ask Justin @ mangrates if i do. he's not going to lie. Im in CA. and they're in VA. LOL!alynd said:You can claim you don't work for mangrate all you want, but I don't believe you for a second.Boomer said:Over priced? i dont think so, it makes a HUGE difference to me without a doubt, About them being over priced, they have us/EGGERS taken care of with our own promo code of EGG.alynd said:I've used Mangrates for a couple years now, since my pre-egg days. I don't have a cast iron grid so I use them when making steaks. They do leave better sear marks and protect from flare ups as others have said. I like them, but they are probably a little over priced for what you get out of them.Happy grilling...
BUT WAIT! There's more!henapple said:I feel like I should go out and buy some oxy-clean or a Ronco dehydrator. Where's Billy Mays.

That is an impressive deal for us eggers.Boomer said:I have sent Justin a message and he will get us up and running shortly, as i before mentioned that he was setting us up, NOT that it is set up yet. I will let you guys know when its a go.It seems that us eggers will be getting a 30% discount and a cheaper shipping if im not mistaken, with orders up to 7 grates and 1 brush max per order.I am already asking Justin to get these at some events, Who is in charge of the Salado event so i can work some magic, have them inbox me.Also, Mangrate is working to make something for the LG. 18 Inch, maybe a 1/2 moon would be the ticket.I'm serious, this is not snake oil ladies and gentlemen, your going to thank me laterWill keep my fellow eggers updated as things begin to happen.Cheers.
NEWB_IN_NOLA said:Boomer could you possibly talk to your main friend and totally not business partner Justin and see if he can throw in a case of Mangria with each purchase* (for limited time only) to give us eggers something to occupy ourselves while the mangrates do all the work making our food outstanding?

Shakespeare's witches, with their "Eye of newt, and toe of frog", could well have been related to some of our ancient Irish ancestors if some of these remedies are to be believed.
From healing dead hands, hair clippings, ancient feng shui and disgusting drinks and potions, ancient Irish superstitions and remedies were certainly strange.
Here's our selection of the top ten:
1. A dead hand
The hand of a corpse was believed to be a cure for all diseases. Sick people would be brought to a house where a corpse was laid out so that the hand could be laid on them.
Similarly, the corner of the sheet used to wrap a corpse was used to cure a headache or a swollen limb.
2. How to cure burns
The candles used at funerals were also thought to have curative powers. The butts of the candles would be saved to cure burns. Another Irish cure for burns is said to be raw potato.
3. Minty fresh immunity
A bunch of mint tied around your wrist was thought to cure stomach disorders as well as warding off infection and disease.
4. Ancient Irish Feng Shui
The Irish believed that a sick person's bed should face north to south and never east to west.
5. Graveyard cure
Nettles gathered from a churchyard and boiled down were believed to cure water retention when boiled down into a drink.
6. Curative nature of the sea
The ancient Irish believed that if a person had a fever they should be placed on the shore when the tide is coming in. When the tide retreats it would carry the fever and the disease with it.
7. Iron ring
An iron ring worn on the fourth finger would ward off rheumatism.
8. Fertility remedy
It was thought that the seed of dock leaves (rumex) tied to the left hand of a woman would prevent her from being barren.
9. Pure blood
They believed that boiled down carrots would purify the blood.
10. No more fitting
Our ancestors believed that the clippings of the hair and nails of a child tied in linen and placed under the ill person's bed would cure convulsions.

Julie Bruce's 5-year-old son smiled when he saw Santa Claus at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
*Third in a holiday series on thankfulness.
Julie Bruce's 5-year-old son smiled when he saw Santa Claus at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
That's not unusual for most kids, but for Bradan Allemand, it's a big deal, his mom said.
As St. Nick sang "Jingle Bells," "he'll light up," Bruce said. "His eyes were wide open, and he was laughing out loud. It was like a dream. It didn't feel real."
Bradan, who lives in Raceland, lacks a critical enzyme in his brain, and that leads to frequent seizures and mental impairment. He can't speak or walk. He is confined to a wheelchair.
But with some help from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Bradan got to go on the trip of a lifetime from Nov. 13-18. He met some very important people, including Disney princesses and characters.
Usually shy around strangers, the little boy opened up at the park.
"He was cracking up laughing," his mother said. "Around strangers I've never seen him like that."
He was throwing his hands in the air and playing along with his new friends.
"It brought tears to my eyes to see him like that," she said.
Bradan has been sick his whole life, but was only diagnosed with his rare disease when he was 2 years old, Bruce said. Not much is known about the ailment because so few people have it — only about 600 people in the world.
"They can't even tell me if there's a life expectancy," she said. "They don't know."
With rehabilitation, the little boy has improved.
Thanks to therapy, he can roll over and bring his hands together but not actually clap them.
At the Disney park, he enjoyed the Animal Kingdom and riding small roller coasters.
"We just give thanks to Make-A-Wish for giving us this opportunity," Bruce said. "None of us are guaranteed tomorrow."

Susannah Collins ought to thank the Blackhawks. They made her a folk hero, and folk heroes never die.
Neither do the connections to the villains who took them out. Looking at you, Rocky Wirtz.
During a Comcast SportsNet segment, Collins made an on-air slip involving the word "sex.'' The clip went viral, and then some old, sniggering Sports Nutz internet videos featuring Collins resurfaced.
The videos were snarky. These were not sex tapes. She didn't get arrested for anything like, say, a cabbie-punching Hawks winger.
But Hawks chairman Rocky Wirtz wrote a letter to Comcast SportsNet declaring he was offended by Collins' past, which she never hid...

The storm that struck Galatia 10:10 p.m. Jan. 29 has been classified by the National Weather Service as an F-2 tornado with winds up to 115 mph, according to Saline County Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Allan C. Ninness.
The storm that struck Galatia 10:10 p.m. Jan. 29 has been classified by the National Weather Service as an F-2 tornado with winds up to 115 mph, according to Saline County Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Allan C. Ninness.
The tornado's path was measured at 6,000 feet — a bit over a mile — at a width measured at 100 yards wide or about two blocks in spots. The Fujita Tornado Damage Scale rates tornados between F0 with light damage involving broken branches sign boards and some trees pushed over to F5 which is devastating.
The storm's intensity has little bearing on the road ahead for some Galatia families.
Residents of Galatia, near or on Walker Street, agree that the sound of Tuesday night's storm was loud, some likening it to a jet engine starting up.
But Harold Ewell, who sheltered in a walk-in closet with four other family members, said "It sounded like a freight train."
When the storm was over at about 10:10 p.m. he and his family came out of the 3 foot-by-5 foot closet to find the roof of the house and two walls blown away. The closet was the only room left with a ceiling. The entire roof was gone.
Wednesday morning he and friends and relatives were rescuing clothing and valuables from the remains of the home at 206 E. Walker St. At that time they didn't know where they would be spending the night.
"We have to wait for the insurance man to arrive before we know if we will be in a motel or what," Ewell said at late morning.
Although the house is a total loss Ewell's wife Karen said, "We got our lives."
A 10-block stretch of Galatia along Walker Street was damaged. Ameren worked through Tuesday night and by dawn had powered restored to about 3/4 of the village. Power was total restored by late morning. School was canceled due to concerns over the ability of a generator to keep a sewage pump operating, but schools were to open Thursday.
Many old growth trees lay shattered in front yards and sometimes across roof tops. One mobile home behind the was bisected by a large tree branch, its owner — reported by many, though not confirmed officially, to be Mike Peyton — sent to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to people at the scene.
Gaylon Parks was standing outside his sister-in-law's house at 301 N. Hickory St. looking at a large tree branch that had landed on her roof. Natural disaster struck the family last year.
"She is 83, Imogene Williams. She was home last night when the tree branch hit her roof," Parks said. "She is all right, no injuries, but she was really shaken up because her sister, Linda Hull, was killed in the Feb. 29 tornado in Harrisburg."
Ninness said various stories abound about the number injured and the nature of those injuries. He has heard both two and three individuals were injured, but has not confirmed reports with family members.
Ninness has compiled preliminary damage assessments for Galatia that report 28 properties were affected. Those include:
- 22 single family structures.
- Two multi family structures, both Saline County Housing Authority properties with four apartments each. Three of the eight units are uninhabitable.
- Four manufactured homes.
Of those, two are classified total losses, eight are classified habitable with repairs and 18 are classified habitable without repairs.
The figures do not include damage to outbuildings, barns or unattached garages, though many were damaged in the village.
The Red Cross housed three residents in the Galatia First Baptist Church Family Life Outreach Center Jan. 29. All had made other arrangements Wednesday night — either staying in motels or with family, Ninness said, though the shelter would remain available if they need it. The Saline County Housing Authority made arrangements for residents in the three apartment buildings.
Red Cross had six volunteers working Tuesday night and five Wednesday night, out of both the church FLOC Building and Village Hall.
"There are going to be caseworkers in town (Thursday)," Ninness said.
The Baptist Chainsaw Ministry is in town helping to clear trees and clearing debris out of town is on the agenda for village officials. Ninness said one of the goals of a meeting 11:30 a.m. today at Village Hall was to coordinate removal of debris taken to curbs.
Though there is considerable damage that will take time to clean up, Ninness said the tornado's path appeared more isolated — affecting mainly the north section of town — than Galatia's last tornado in 2002. That fact is of little solace to those who have lost everything.
"You have the same pain in the people who have lost their possessions, belongings and home," Ninness said.
The storm caused little damage to other areas of the county. Eldorado firefighters responded to a falling tree ripping the electrical service line from a house at Alexander Street and there was some minor damage reported in Carrier Mills.
A dead tree in the yard at the intersection of Railroad and Harris streets was blown over with no damage to property.
More serious damage occurred at the storage building owned by Russell Oil Company at the intersection of Main Street and U.S. 45 South. A portion of the wall of a building owned by Fred Hutson was blown off and damaged the adjacent storage building. A portion of the roof and several doorways and sections of the wall of the storage building showed clear evidence of impact of wind-driven debris.
Village Street crews reported no other significant damage other than some minor flooding.

Pre-Orders Are Open For Destiny
Today is Destiny day, with Bungie revealing all kinds of information on its formerly mysterious project. Turns out today also marks the day that you can begin pre-ordering the game.
Retailers like Amazon, GameStop, and Best Buy all have skus on their websites where you can go ahead and plop a few bucks down to get in line for Bungie's next project. Amazon lists the game being available in December, and although GameStop doesn't have a release date listed on its website, a quick call to a retail location says that the game has a January 2014 release date.
Neither of these release windows have been confirmed by Bungie, and are likely just placeholder dates in order to allow reserves to be taken.

LYNCHBURG–The Virginia Math and Science Coalition has recognized a Randolph College program designed to help elementary and secondary teachers learn more effective ways to teach science as a 2012 Program That Works. The College was one of only six programs in the state to receive the award during a special ceremony in Richmond on May 22.
The award recognized the College's Science and Math Links: Research-Based Teaching Institute, which is organized by Peggy Schimmoeller, a Randolph education professor, Peter Sheldon, a Randolph physics professor, and Tatiana Gilstrap, a Randolph environmental science professor.
The Virginia Mathematics and Science Coalition is an alliance of education, corporate, and public policy leaders who work together to revitalize mathematics and science education in prekindergarten through graduate school. The coalition grants the Programs That Work awards to effective student and teacher educational programs it considers exemplary and for which there is evidence of a positive impact on student or teacher learning.
The coalition's selection committee recognized the significant work that had been invested in the design and implementation of Randolph College's program as well as its impact on education.
"The science and mathematics education initiative works so well because it is truly a collaborative effort between the education department and the sciences department at the College," said Schimmoeller. "Randolph College faculty members work in tandem to offer meaningful learning opportunities to area teachers."
Randolph College has received funding for the Science and Math Links program from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) since its beginning three years ago. SCHEV recently awarded the College funding for a fourth year.
The Randolph program, which has grown steadily, trains elementary and middle school teachers to better teach science with an emphasis on hands-on and inquiry-based methods. The program includes intensive assessment of how the training affects teachers' attitudes toward science, the attitudes of their students toward science, and the learning of science measured using the students' standardized test scores.
"We started with basic science and math content and hands-on ideas in the first year and have expanded to include science literacy, reading, and some special programs," said Sheldon. "We continue to expand to include more teachers and administrators in the workshop."
The Randolph initiative involves local school divisions, the Jubilee Family Development Center, the Central Virginia Governor's School for Science and Technology, and Agriculture in the Classroom.
"We strive to reach as many children as possible in a variety of settings," Schimmoeller said. "We want students and teachers to feel confident in their ability to do and to understand all areas of scientific investigation. Scientific understanding allows our children to make informed decisions when they live, work and vote in the future. Central to this community effort is eliminating barriers for women and minorities to enter science fields."
Randolph's program has improved the quality of instruction offered by its participating teachers. After participating in the program, the teachers use more hands-on and inquiry science discovery in the classroom and survey data also show positive results in attitude and achievement.
"We are very proud of what we have done," Sheldon said. "When we began our collaboration in 1999, our goal was to improve attitude and achievement for students in science in secondary school."
Students, he added, sometimes make up their minds as early as high school, about whether they will enter a career involving science. "We decided that to make the most impact, we needed to start as early as possible to dispel the myths that 'science is hard,' or 'science is done by white males in lab coats,'" Sheldon said. "We are so happy to be funded by SCHEV for these four years so that we can really work to make our intended impact."

Ohio State RB Dunn found not guilty
Article continues below ...
A magistrate in northeast Ohio has found Ohio State running back Bri'onte Dunn not guilty of a disorderly conduct charge.
The Canton Repository reports Municipal Court Magistrate Jean Madden acquitted the 19-year-old Dunn after a bench trial Friday. Dunn and three other witnesses testified.
The minor misdemeanor charge stems from a traffic stop in late July, when police found marijuana and drug paraphernalia in the car Dunn was driving. A police report says he nearly hit a patrol car. Dunn pleaded innocent in early August.
Dunn is an incoming freshman who was a star back at Canton's GlenOak High School.

World Bank figures reveal that Nigerian migrants send $653 million (€500) back home from Ireland each year.
In 2011, figures show $602 million (€468m) in 'remittances' was sent from Ireland to Nigeria, an average of more than €26,000 for each of the 17,642 Nigerian nationals in Ireland, including children.
This is far more than was sent home by Poles from Ireland, who sent $224 million (€174m), even though there are more than 122,000 Polish people in the country.
Money sent from Ireland by foreign migrants is three times higher than money being sent home to Ireland from Irish living abroad, with figures showing that Irish abroad sent more than $750 million back home in 2011.
The same year, foreign migrants working in Ireland sent $2.4 billion home.
The Irish Independent reports that the issue will be raised during a Dail debate this week on the Criminal Justice (Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing) (Amendment) being rushed through before next month's G8 summit in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh.
Niall Collins, Fianna Fail's justice spokesman, said: "It raises a number of questions. There may be legitimate and valid reason for the extremely large amounts of money being sent from Ireland to Nigeria, compared with the amounts sent by other nationalities.
"On the face of it, it has to be questioned. I will be asking the minister to investigate and find out why."
According to the Independent, the largest amount of money leaving Ireland in 2011 was to Britain, at over €529m, followed by Nigeria (€468m) and Poland at (€174m).
2011 World Bank figures show that remittances to poorer countries totaled €289bn ($377bn), with total remittances worldwide estimated at €390bn ($509bn).

EFF Launches Copyright Curriculum To Counter RIAA Propaganda Being Handed Out To Schools
from the good-news dept
Unfortunately, schools that are using these materials often don't realize that they're simply accepting corporate propaganda, assuming that a front group like The Copyright Alliance is some sort of impartial player in the space, even though its curriculum is laughably bad, positioning any kind of copying as a high risk activity that should be avoided. Luckily, the EFF has finally launched a much more accurate and reasonable curriculum that was actually created by those who know the subject matter, rather than corporate execs and lobbyists. The EFF's curriculum is available at Teaching Copyright and is under a Creative Commons license. Unlike many of the propaganda copyright curricula, Teaching Copyright focuses on the broader picture, recognizing the fact that copyright is not for protecting creators, but is a deal between creators and the public to encourage creation within certain important limitations. It covers important concepts such as the public domain and fair use that are either ignored or downplayed in most of the curricula put out by the industry. This is a welcome addition to materials for schools to use to educate students on copyright.

Argentine Jorge Bergoglio elected Pope Francis
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium. He chose the name Francis, associating himself with the humble 13th-century Italian preacher who lived a life of poverty.
Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter's Square for the announcement, marveling that the cardinals needed to look to "the end of the earth" to find a bishop of Rome.
In choosing a 76-year-old pope, the cardinals clearly decided that they didn't need a vigorous, young pope who would reign for decades but rather a seasoned, popular and humble pastor who would draw followers to the faith. The cardinal electors overcame deep divisions to select the 266th pontiff in a remarkably fast, five-ballot conclave.
Francis asked for prayers for himself, and for retired Pope Benedict XVI, whose surprising resignation paved the way for the conclave that brought the first Jesuit to the papacy. He also spoke by phone with Benedict after his election and plans to see him in the coming days, the Vatican said.
"Brothers and sisters, good evening," Francis said to wild cheers in his first public remarks as pontiff. "You know that the work of the conclave is to give a bishop to Rome. It seems as if my brother cardinals went to find him from the end of the earth. Thank you for the welcome."
Bergoglio had reportedly finished second in the 2005 conclave that produced Benedict — who last month became the first pope to resign in 600 years.
After announcing "Habemus Papam" — "We have a pope!" — a cardinal standing on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica on Wednesday revealed the identity of the new pontiff, using his Latin name, and announced he would be called Francis.
The longtime archbishop of Buenos Aires, is the son of middle-class Italian immigrants and is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed.
He often rode the bus to work, cooked his own meals and regularly visited the slums that ring Argentina's capital. He considers social outreach, rather than doctrinal battles, to be the essential business of the church.
Catholics are still buzzing over his speech last year accusing fellow church officials of hypocrisy for forgetting that Jesus Christ bathed lepers and ate with prostitutes.
Bergoglio has slowed a bit with age and is feeling the effects of having a lung removed due to infection when he was a teenager.
In a lifetime of teaching and leading priests in Latin America, which has the largest share of the world's Catholics, Bergoglio has also shown a keen political sensibility as well as the kind of self-effacing humility that fellow cardinals value highly, according to his official biographer, Sergio Rubin.
He showed that humility on Wednesday, saying that before he blessed the crowd he wanted their prayers for him and bowed his head.
"Good night, and have a good rest," he said before going back into the palace.
In choosing to call himself Francis, the new pope was associating himself with the much-loved Italian saint associated with peace, poverty and simplicity. St. Francis founded the Franciscan order.
Francis will celebrate his first Mass as pope in the Sistine Chapel on Thursday, and will be installed officially as pope on Tuesday, according to the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
Lombardi, also a Jesuit, said he was particularly stunned by the election given that Jesuits typically shun positions of authority in the church, instead offering their work in service to those in power.
But Lombardi said that in accepting the election, Francis must have felt it "a strong call to service," an antidote to all those who speculated that the papacy was about a search for power.
Tens of thousands of people who braved cold rain to watch the smokestack atop the Sistine Chapel jumped in joy when white smoke poured out a few minutes past 7 p.m., many shouting "Habemus Papam!" or "We have a pope!" — as the bells of St. Peter's Basilica and churches across Rome pealed.
They cheered again when the doors to the loggia opened, and again when Bergoglio's name was announced.
"I can't explain how happy I am right now," said Ben Canete, a 32-year-old Filipino, jumping up and down in excitement.
In Boonville much anticipation was given by the areas Catholic residents who waited patiently halfway across the world for the signal of a new pope. At Saints Peter and Paul School, students watched on television as the new pope was announced.
There was excitement over the election of Pope Francis. It was very moving to see the students pray for him and with him and also to clap for him. It was a very good experience for the students," Saints Peter and Paul School Principal Alan Lammers said.
He also said one of our students reported to their parents that he felt very close to this pope because the new pope asked the the people of the world to pray for him before he prayed for the people.
"To me, that demonstrates this man will be very effective and reaching the people he is shepherding. Choosing the name of Francis is also a very powerful symbol to the people that he understands and identifies with those that the church is called to serve," Lammers said.
Saints Peter and Paul Church Reverend Matthew Flatley said the name the pope chose warmed his heart because of the pope's dedication to the poor and outcasts of the world.
"I am filled with hope and I pray that all Christians, especially Catholics, can experience his sense of renewal. I also pray that we can move into the future with this same hope," Rev. Flatley said.
Elected on the fifth ballot, Francis was chosen in one of the fastest conclaves in years, remarkable given there was no clear front-runner going into the vote and that the church had been in turmoil following the upheaval unleashed by Pope Benedict XVI's surprise resignation.
A winner must receive 77 votes, or two-thirds of the 115, to be named pope.
For comparison's sake, Benedict was elected on the fourth ballot in 2005 — but he was the clear front-runner going into the vote. Pope John Paul II was elected on the eighth ballot in 1978 to become the first non-Italian pope in 455 years.

MBB: Maryland 73 Clemson 77 Final (2OT)
|2014-03-02 15:47:37.0-
CLEMSON, SC – In a game that featured 13 lead changes and two overtimes, Clemson prevailed 77-73 over Maryland in the final scheduled meeting between the two as ACC foes Sunday in Littlejohn Coliseum. Clemson's win was its ninth in the ACC this season and pushed the Tigers to 18-10 overall. Maryland fell to 15-14 and 7-9 in conference play.
Clemson's team achieved the ninth ACC win for only the ninth time in 61 seasons as a member of the conference. The Tigers managed the victory despite shooting 36 percent overall, 15 percent from three, and yielding 63 rebounds to the Terrapins. Clemson did protect the ball, however, with only nine turnovers in 50 minutes. The Tigers were 24-for-35 from the stripe.
K.J. McDaniels posted his fifth "20 & 10" game of the season, finishing with 26 points and a career-high tying 14 rebounds. He also added six blocked shots. He was one of four Clemson players to score in double figures, including Rod Hall (16), Landry Nnoko (11) and Damarcus Harrison (10). Hall added seven rebounds and five assists, while Nnoko pulled down nine rebounds.
Harrison hit the biggest shot of the game for Clemson. With the Tigers trailing 71-70 in the second overtime, he received a pass on the wing and promptly swished a three-pointer to give Clemson a three-point edge. The Tigers responded with McDaniels' sixth block, and a Charles Mitchell turnover and foul put Clemson ahead by three on Harrison's free throw.
The Tigers have a quick turnaround for their next game, an 8 p.m. Tuesday tilt against Miami at Littlejohn Coliseum. The game is set to be televised by the ACC Network.

Dreams of Significant Girls - Not Building Romans
Every reader knows that once in a while, you come across a strange word, often from another language. This word may take hold of your imagination because it looks or sounds so weird, or you might be exposed to it over years and years in the most disconnected contexts, until you just have to look it up. Such is the word Bildungsroman.
I'd seen it here, I'd seen it there, and finally, in "library school" when I was taking a cataloging class, I saw it again and was forced to look it up. It means a novel about the moral and psychological growth of the main character. Or you could just say coming-of-age story and many more people would get your meaning right away. But, as my high school English teacher said, sometimes it behooves us to be able to talk fancy.
Whichever word you use to describe this kind of fiction, I realized I'd read a number of these books. One such is the recently published Dreams of Significant Girls, by Cristina Garcia. It takes place over three summers in the early 1970s at an elite Swiss boarding school, and tells the story of three diverse young women's -- you guessed it -- moral and psychological development. Which is to say there's a lot of partying, drinking, first this and that's, and it all shapes the three girls into women. Vivien is the daughter of a Jewish father and Cuban mother, and struggles to accept her parents' separation. Shirin is the only daughter of Iranian royalty and is aloof and spoiled (she has three horses shipped to Switzerland for the summer). The third roommate is Ingrid, from rural Canada, a rebel in every way whose father is slowly being driven crazy by the memories of his time in the Nazi party during the war.
I felt that this book sort of came across as a more mature Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (or Sisterpants as I've heard a number of people call it). Like that bit of slang (you know, a hipster wearing jeans so tight it looks like he's got on "his sister's pants") there's a whole lot going on in this book. Parties, first love, equestrian accidents, pregnancy scares, and parents getting remarried. There are even candy gnome decapitations. Most of it works, though, and it really is a good example of the Bildungsroman, which often relies less on a linear plot and more on how young people are shaped by the whirlwind of their teenage years. It's got all the good stuff found in your average chick lit, with more thoughtfulness than most novels in that genre. Other examples that came to mind for me where Grass' Tin Drum, Martin Amis' hilariously rude The Rachel Papers, and Zoey Dean's A-List novels. Give this one a try -- recommended for older-age high school students.

Columbus Short
I haven't seen it yet, but apparently Columbus Short steams up the screen pretty well in Stomp the Yard -- where he plays a young man excused from juvie so long that he attends college at Truth University, where he is then courted by rival fraternities needing him to win the annual step show.
I actually have been watching him on Studio 60, but with rumors swirling about that show's hiatus (and pending demise?) I'm not sure if Columbus can count on that paycheck for a whole lot longer. Luckily for him, he's got a handful of upcoming projects to keep him busy.
Columbus was previously seen in movies such as Save the Last Dance 2, Accepted, War of the Worlds, and You Got Served. Aside from being an actor, he's a dancer/choreographer. Earlier this year he also made it onto the gossip radar after sleeping (and JUST sleeping, no sex says he...) with Britney Spears. Photos of them also surfaced sharing a smooch.
At any rate, he's a fine man -- with an unfortunate lack of high quality photos to be found! If you've found a fan site or photos -- share a link in the comments!

Indeed. As far as I know, stylelint is the big player here. David Clark wrote all about it here on CSS-Tricks last year.
stylelint is very much like ESlint. You can incorporate it in the same ways: like as part of a task runner workflow, or right in your code editor.
At the moment I'm using Sublime Text, and here's me using stylelint with SublimeLinter, the same exact linter UI thing I use for ESlint:
You'll also probably do well by starting with Shoe Vivienne Tommy Shoe Tommy Vivienne Westwood Vivienne Westwood Tommy Vivienne Westwood Shoe Tommy Shoe Vivienne Westwood pzPnzXwq
You could say that stylelint (and ESlint) are unopinionated . They are intentionally super flexible. You can incorporate whatever rules you want to (or leave out rules), and even when you add rules, they are designed to be flexible by either enforcing the rule one way or another and even allowing exceptions.
More importantly, I'd call them unopinionated because they aren't exactly passing judgment on your code. But what if you want a tool to pass judgment on your code?
"Hey, you're using too many floats!"
"Hey, that property isn't particularly well supported!"
"Hey, @import is pretty bad for performance!"
That's more like Leather Handmade Luxury Tenis Feminino Sapato Free Shipping For Cheap Cost Sale Online Discount Newest Free Shipping Clearance Store Fast Delivery Cheap Price qrHe6
PHG Jacket Softshell Ascender PHG Columbia Columbia territory, which has a variety of fairly opinionated rules .
There is some crossover for sure. CSSLint, for example, can check for duplicate properties just like stylelint can.
Can you use them together? Probably. Certainly, at the command line / task runner level you can. I'm not entirely sure how it would work to integrate them both into an IDE linter at the same time. Try it!
PHG Softshell Jacket Columbia PHG Ascender Columbia Maybe a comparison is helpful to wrap this part up:
This is what got me thinking about this stuff in the first place. I like IDE-level linting quite a bit, but I think I like the idea of the automated fixing of style even more.
We're essentially talking about "prettifying" here (also known as "code tidying" or "beautifying").
The new super popular kid on the block for JavaScript is wholesale basketball shoes for men Supply Cheap Online Buy Cheap Good Selling Pictures Online gToT6
, which I'd say is a good choice. But that doesn't help us with CSS.
There is another one, Sorbern Polka Dot Style High Heels Gladiator Sandals Classic For Sale With Paypal Free Shipping Free Shipping Comfortable Cheap Sale Huge Surprise XTucO96Fwo
, that does work with CSS (and HTML!)
Cole Zoe Cole Haan Mini Mini Zoe Haan Haan Cole Bag Zoe Bag Uf4xU1qrw is another tool right up this alley. It is has far fewer options than stylelint (your call if that's good or bad), and has a cool config builde r for setting those rules. CSS Comb looks quite popular and well done, but I'm not going to recommend it any further, as it looks like they have stepped away from the project:
The tool is no longer being developed though we may still fix parsing errors and critical bugs. That means that you should not expect any new features or options.
CSS is changing plenty fast these days, so I'd be nervous incorporating a tool that won't be changed. Kind of a bummer, because CSS Comb can do some things that others can't, like re-ordering properties how you want them, which is pretty cool (although as always, there are options ).
For example, suppose you have these models:
and run:
The problem with this is that every time
Pizza.__str__() asks for
self.toppings.all() it has to query the database, so
Pizza.objects.all() will run a query on the Toppings table for every item in the Pizza
QuerySet .
We can reduce to just two queries using
prefetch_related :
This implies a
Columbia Jacket Columbia PHG PHG Ascender Softshell self.toppings.all() for each
Pizza ; now each time
self.toppings.all() is called, instead of having to go to the database for the items, it will find them in a prefetched
QuerySet cache that was populated in a single query.
That is, all the relevant toppings will have been fetched in a single query, and used to make
QuerySets that have a pre-filled cache of the relevant results; these
PHG PHG Softshell Columbia Jacket Columbia Ascender QuerySets are then used in the
self.toppings.all() calls.
The additional queries in
prefetch_related() are executed after the
QuerySet has begun to be evaluated and the primary query has been executed.
If you have an iterable of model instances, you can prefetch related attributes on those instances using the Nine West Drucilla Nine West Backpack Nine Nine Drucilla Drucilla Nine West Backpack West Drucilla Backpack Drucilla West Backpack AxUq6xRP
Note that the result cache of the primary
QuerySet and all specified related objects will then be fully loaded into memory. This changes the typical behavior of
QuerySets , which normally try to avoid loading all objects into memory before they are needed, even after a query has been executed in the database.
Remember that, as always with
QuerySets , any subsequent chained methods which imply a different database query will ignore previously cached results, and retrieve data using a fresh database query. So, if you write the following:
…then the fact that
pizza.toppings.all() has been prefetched will not help you. The
prefetch_related('toppings') implied
pizza.toppings.all() , but
pizza.toppings.filter() is a new and different query. The prefetched cache can't help here; in fact it hurts performance, since you have done a database query that you haven't used. So use this feature with caution!
Also, if you call the database-altering methods DEleventh Bandage Cross Thin Heels Sandals Pump High Heels Buy Cheap Footlocker Finishline 3kuXYvq
remove() ,
Ascender PHG Columbia Softshell Jacket PHG Columbia clear() or
set() , on
related managers , any prefetched cache for the relation will be cleared.

For example, to annotate each post with the email address of the author of the newest comment on that post:
On PostgreSQL, the SQL looks like:
The examples in this section are designed to show how to force Django to execute a subquery. In some cases it may be possible to write an equivalent queryset that performs the same task more clearly or efficiently.
OuterRef when a queryset in a
Subquery needs to refer to a field from the outer query. It acts like an Zeppa French Sole French Sole Flat Zeppa qPgwxPUzFI expression except that the check to see if it refers to a valid field isn't made until the outer queryset is resolved.
Instances of
OuterRef may be used in conjunction with nested instances of
Subquery to refer to a containing queryset that isn't the immediate parent. For example, this queryset would need to be within a nested pair of
Subquery instances to resolve correctly:
There are times when a single column must be returned from a
Subquery , for instance, to use a
Subquery as the target of an
__in lookup. To return all comments for posts published within the last day:
In this case, the subquery must use YIGAL Cold Shoulder Cape Jumpsuit Front AZROUËL anYBp
to return only a single column: the primary key of the post.
To prevent a subquery from returning multiple rows, a slice (
[:1] ) of the queryset is used:
In this case, the subquery must only return a single column and a single row: the email address of the most recently created comment.
(Using Mesh Breathable Summer Autumn Female Casual Shoes SWYIVY Original For Sale o642wzOsTv
instead of a slice would fail because the
OuterRef Blouse V Nine West Floral Printed Neck pXwq7fZq0 cannot be resolved until the queryset is used within a
Subquery .)
Exists is a
Subquery subclass that uses an SQL
EXISTS statement. In many cases it will perform better than a subquery since the database is able to stop evaluation of the subquery when a first matching row is found.
PHG Columbia Softshell Columbia Ascender PHG Jacket For example, to annotate each post with whether or not it has a comment from within the last day:
It's unnecessary to force
Exists to refer to a single column, since the columns are discarded and a boolean result is returned. Similarly, since ordering is unimportant within an SQL
EXISTS subquery and would only degrade performance, it's automatically removed.

No is not true... All can be editable... in a couple of hours I will arrive at home and I will make screenshots I have 1.10 firmware, indeed, the setup icon is not anymore there, but "detail" screen of assigned DSP it shows when you press on the name of DSP above virtual knob in Effect screen.
Thanks all for checking. But I suggest not unassigning the DSP temporarily, as you will lose any current edits. Simply assign the DSP to another part, work on the "now exposed" DSP, and then reassign it to your part when finished. This preserves all your current work.Jerry
Jerry... look at the video... nothing is lost... I didn't unassign, it only put it to OFF. Is the only workaround I found and it is quickly. No need to assign to another part. I think is annoying assigning to another part... What do you do if you have all parts assigned?! You have to notice which effect was set to which part... is very annoying...

Hi Uli,I was using insert DSP's with panel setups so had Style, Voice, Harmony and sometimes Tempo checked. At your suggestion I also ticked Song and tried twice more assigning 2 DSP's to a left hand voice. As expected I had similar results, one of the DSP's would retain my custom settings but the other would always revert to default settings. It makes no difference whether I use legacy in the DSP mix or 100% latest Genos DSP's.John

Has T-Jack Proven himself?
Tarvaris Jackson had 70 more passing yards last week than he had any other week in his NFL career. Zach Miller hadn't jumped as he caught the ball and took a big hit in the end zone that caused the ball to pop and be intercepted.
Had Miller scored Jackson would have tied a career high with 4 touchdowns.
All things considered he had a good game but was it enough to change perceptions of him?
Not mine, I am still in wait and see mode. It was nice to see Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell open the offense up and give him a chance to show what he can do but he needs to sustain that level of play for more than a couple quarters to get my blood pumping.
Hopefully he was able to buy himself a little slack from the boo birds and the media and gain a sense of rythm and confidence in himself as well as his teammates.
What was the Kam factor?
Before the game I was asked how big of a difference not having Kam Chancellor in the lineup was going to make, to which I responded "Lets just say at the end of the game we wont say [if Kam had only been able to play"]".
As good as Atari Bigby played he isn't able to do all the things that Kam can. Chancellor would have played the run much tougher and would have helped neutralize Tony Gonzalez so, looking back, I would have to say you could make a strong argument that Kam was worth at least the two points Seattle lost by.
What does the loss of Matt McCoy mean to the team?
On defense he was the middle linebacker in Nickel and Dime situation so now David Hawthorne must fill in for him and put more pressure on his knee (he is still wearing a brace) that forced him to miss the regular season opener in San Francisco.
To help fill the void left by his loss the team re-signed 4th year veteran David Vobora who is more known for his ability on special teams than he is for playing defense.
Matt McCoy was the teams Special Teams Captain and has left a huge hole in the special teams unit that was already weakened by the loss of Dexter Davis and Byron Maxwell.
Fortunately Byron Maxwell should be back this week and the team signed DE Jameson Konz off the practice squad who can help on special teams and as the situational pass rusher (much like Dexter Davis) if they put him on the 46-man active roster for game day.
