Major Section: INTRODUCTION-TO-THE-THEOREM-PROVER
Start in a fresh ACL2, either by restarting your ACL2 image from scratch or
:ubt! 1.
This problem is much more open ended than the preceding ones. The challenge is to define a function that collects exactly one copy of each element of a list and to prove that it returns a subset of the list with no duplications.
Hint: We recommend that you read this hint to align your function names
with our solution, to make comparisons easier. Our answer is shown in
see introductory-challenge-problem-4-answer. In that page you'll see a definition of
a function
collect-once and the proofs of two theorems:
(defthm main-theorem-1-about-collect-once (subsetp (collect-once x) x)) (defthm main-theorem-2-about-collect-once (not (dupsp (collect-once x))))The function
dupsp is as defined in see introductory-challenge-problem-3.
This is quite easy.
Then, we define a tail-recursive version of the method based on the pseudo-code:
a = nil; while (x not empty) { a = if (member (car x) a) then a else (cons (car x) a); x = (cdr x); } return a;We formalize this with the function
while-loop-version, where
(while-loop-version x nil) is the ``semantics'' of the code above.
I.e., the function
while-loop-version captures the while loop in the
pseudo-code above and returns the final value of
a, and it should be
invoked with the initial value of
a being
We prove
(while-loop-version x nil) returns a subset of
x that
contains no duplications. Furthermore, we do it two ways: first
``indirectly'' by relating
while-loop-version to
collect-once, and
second (``directly'') without using
collect-once. Both of these proofs
are much harder than the
collect-once approach, involving about a dozen
lemmas each.

Nicky Formosa
11 career wins at Nashville
1983, 1984 NASCAR Limited Sportsman Champion, Nashville International Raceway, Tennessee State Fairgrounds, Nashville, TN
1989, Late Model Stock Car Champion, Nashville Motor Raceway, Tennessee State Fairgrounds, Nashville, TN
1989, Late Model Stock Car Driver of the Year, Nashville Motor Raceway, Tennessee State Fairgrounds, Nashville, TN
Multiple championships, Highland Rim Speedway, Ridgetop, TN
Proud father of Nicholas Formosa, 2006 NASCAR SuperTruck Champion, Music City Motorplex, Nashville, TN
Proud son of Tony Formosa Sr., the inspiration behind Nicky, Tony, Jr. and Nicholas
Tony Formosa Sr., not only touched the lives of his family, he touched the lives of many of us at the Fairgrounds. We called him "Papa" too and our lives have been made even more special by being associated with a true family man and a great individual. We miss him greatly but will always be thankful for those special memories he left behind.
The Formosa Championship
Nicky Formosa had caught his share of little fish over the years. But the big one always seemed to get away.
Last season (1989) though, Formosa finally landed the big one – the Late Model Stock Car championship at Nashville Motor Raceway.
"This was the one I had always dreamed about," said Formosa. "I had won four other championships in other divisons or smaller tracks, but never the big one. I wanted to put my name up there with Darrell Waltrip and Sterling Marlin and drivers like that. That was my goal at the start of the season."
The title didn't come easily. Formosa got off to a blazing start but some late season problems, crashes and mechanical failures, tightened the points race down the stretch.
"We were just holding on there at the end," said Formosa. "It got a little tense but we had run so well earlier that we had a pretty good points lead and that fave us a cushion."
Formosa recorded five wins in 19 starts last season. He also had 10 top five finishes and 15 top ten finishes.
"We were very consistent through out most of the season and consistency is always a key to winning a pints championship," said Formosa. "If you can't get the win, then you need to to come as close as possible. You need to run good and have some good luck to go with it. There were an awfully lot of good cars and drivers on the track last season and that made winning the championship all the more special. It was a real battle every time we rolled out on the track."
The Late Model Stock Car title chase almost turned into a family affair as Nicky's older brother Tony Formosa, Jr. finished third in the points standings. "Tony has always been there to help me out," said Nicky, "and if I couldn't win it I wanted him to. But if the championship came down to the last lap of the last race and it was between Toney and myself, we would have raced each other as hard as we could. We love each other as brothers, but when we get on the track we're competitors."
The one man who couldn't lose between such a fantastical Formosa finish was their father, Tony Formosa, Sr. "I was hoping for a 1 – 2 finish in the points race." said the elder Formosa, himself a former driver who competed on the old Legion Bowl track many years ago. "I'd have liked for either Nicky or Tony to have won – and the other finished second. When they're out there on the track I don't care which one wins. But a 3 – 1 finish isn't bad either."
As far as their driving styles are concerned, the elder Formosa said Nicky is more of a charger while Tony is more consistent. When Nicky accepted his championship trophy at the Raceway awards ceremony, he presented the trophy to his father.
"I wanted him to have it," said Nicky. "I wanted to show my appreciation to my dad for all he has meant to me. He has been by my side, literally in the pits, helping with the car and he has also been there to offer encouragement whenever I needed it. I couldn't have won the championship without him, so the trophy belongs as much to him as me."
In additon to winning the championship, Nicky was also named the Turbo Blue Driver of the Year and presented the key to the city by Mayor Bill Boner. "It was just a great season," said Formosa. "It was something I had always dreamed about and imagined and then all of a sudden I realized it was coming true. It made all the work and all the waiting worthwhile."
So now, having finally won the big one, what's next for Formosa?
"I'd like to go back and get another one," he said, "and see if it's as much fun the second time as the first."

Status report: one week into the MistsPosted: October 2, 2012 Filed under: Gear, Leveling, Raiding & Dungeons, Reputation, Scenarios | Tags: gear, hunter, leveling, Mists of Pandaria, questing, survival, SV, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 1 Comment
As I wrote last week, I hit level 90 late Thursday afternoon, and yet at the time I was so exhausted that I could give very little info on what I did, how things went, and what I'm up to now. This post will serve to rectify that a bit.
Spec & pet report
I wrote about my leveling spec shortly before launch. I had decided to run as SV with a wolf and turtle as my main pets, with the wolf as Ferocity giving me the 5% Crit buff and the turtle as a tank with his Shell Shield. In all honestly, though, I stayed with the turtle for most of the process for two reasons: 1) on Day One, the mob respawn rate was so awfully high that I was able to take down large amounts of spawns in the starting areas without him dying, and 2) in the higher zones, the mobs were often close together, so I could likewise Misdirect them all to him and mow them down while keeping him alive. In one area in particular – Krasarang Wilds – I went with the wolf, because that area was full of enough people that there was competition for mobs, but not enough that the respawn rate was personally dangerous, and so focus-firing a Krasari hunter was a 10-15-second process with little in the way of survival concerns.
The talents and glyphs I chose served me well in this way. Of those talents that would be different from my 'dungeon/raid' talents, Spirit Bond keeps the HP flowing, Fervor is nice mid-pull when you need focus for a damage burst to bring you closer to Kill Shot, and Blink Strike likewise contributes with burst from the pet. As glyphs go, Mending was perfect for pet survival – particularly in the Dread Wastes, where the mobs can be pretty punishing in packs – and Misdirection is a proven must-have glyph for leveling, and performed as such.
I've found this spec to continue to be superior to my dungeon spec for daily quests now that I'm 90, and I've also used it in every scenario I've done with the exception of a time in Arena of Annihilation, where we had a Blood DK locking down the bosses. Contrary to Blizzard's claims, having someone who can tank in your group often makes the scenario go more smoothly, so I go into them with this spec by default.
When I qualified for heroic dungeons, I remade my old extreme soloing MM spec into my main dungeon SV spec, with notable changes from the leveling one. Talent-wise, Spirit Bond, Fervor, and Blink Strike were out, and Iron Hawk, Dire Beast, and A Murder of Crows replaced them. I've found these changes to be suitable, although Fervor might be superior to Dire Beast on trash pulls when you need instant focus to pop out a couple more Multishots. I'm still getting accustomed to using Crows on boss fights – learning on the fly how to open my rotation with the correct combination of shots and buffs before using Readiness – but overall, it's working for me. For raids, I might be inclined to make Fervor / Dire Beast swaps between trash and bosses, but in dungeons most tanks run right into the boss from the trash, so I'm leaving it as is for now.
At level 90, I took Glaive Toss for both specs. It's not wow-ing me, but I don't hate it. One thing I love about it is that I can cast it on the move, since it's an instant shot. I wasn't excited about the other two, which have 3-second base cast times, because if I wanted to Aimed Shot, I'd go Marks. That may seem dismissive, but the reality is that, at current Haste levels, neither shot feels practical to me in a dungeon environment.
What annoys me, on the other hand, is that the mob I'm targeting always seems to move to the front right as I'm pressing the Glaive Toss button, minimizing the 'strikes all enemies along the way' feature. That may just be me and bad luck – I'm working to improve as I get more dungeon experience with it.
Oh, and it definitely does look cool.
Edit: If anyone wants to check out my builds, here's a link to my armory page. I'm not sure that there's anything there of interest, but perhaps there is. Main spec is dungeon/raid spec, off-spec is quest spec.
Dailies & Reputation report
I was doing dailies before 90, since I was able to take some with the Klaxxi while doing their quests. When I got to 90, though, I picked up the legendary quest line from Wrathion, started Golden Lotus dailies, and went into the Klaxxi, Tillers, and Anglers full-bore. Since Shado'pan and August Celestials dailies don't become available until we hit revered with Golden Lotus, and Golden Lotus quest mobs give rep with The Black Prince, I got started on them right away. As of right now, I've done all the dailies for those four factions every day since Thursday, which played no small part in my ability to cap Valor points before today's reset and got me well on my way toward the gear I want.
I haven't started on the Cloud Serpent quests, although I probably should. They don't have any real gear, and my toon isn't a JC, so they aren't a priority. However, I do want to knock out that 25-Panda-dailies-in-a-24-hr-reset-period achievement soon, so perhaps I'll head over there this afternoon.
One thing to note is that they changed JP gear to not require reputation. I went and got the chest piece from the August Celestials last night, although JP is so difficult to get without spending scads of hours in dungeons that I don't know if I'll need any more JP gear on this toon by the time I have enough points (I already bought the bracers from the Klaxxi last week). Hopefully, I'll score some gloves in a heroic and won't need to buy any.
Professions report
Mushan is a Leatherworker and Blacksmith, and so it pained me mildly to see the wealth of Ghost Iron Ore out there for the picking. However, I got my druid (currently 88) and warrior (almost 86) skinning and mining, respectively, and was able to level both crafting profs (LW on two toons!) and both gathering profs to 600 fairly quickly.
The enchant options seem sick at the moment. For Leatherworking, the wrist embossment gives 500 Agility, and the legs have 285 Agility and 185 Critical Strike. With sockets in my gloves and bracers via Blacksmithing, I have red gems. It feels good to have all of those complete and available.
Gear report
I'm not the most geared guy in the world, by any stretch. While I leveled relatively fast, the effort tired me considerably, and so I've been conservative in the number of dungeons I've entered. However, I do have some 463 gear – belt, ring, and crossbow – from heroics, as well as the trinket from Direbrew. Every piece of gear is blue except for my gloves and boots, and none of it is PvP gear. Overall, I feel like I'm in a good place.
One thing I will recommend (as have Lissana and Darkbrew) is to get the quest for the Arena of Annihilation if you need a blue weapon – the scenario is easy and fun, and the ilvl 450 quest crossbow at the end is totally worth it. Arena is the first scenario I did at 90, and is probably my favorite (although I admittedly have others that I haven't tried).
Overall, I'm in good shape. I don't expect that we will begin raiding for a couple of weeks yet, so I have time to sink my teeth into rep grinding, scenarios, and heroic dungeons. More soon!

Level 90!Posted: September 28, 2012 Filed under: Leveling, Professions, Raiding & Dungeons, Scenarios | Tags: crafting, gear, hunter, leveling, Mists of Pandaria, questing, survival, SV, Warcraft, World of Warcraft 1 Comment
I hit level 90 at approximately 4:30 pm Eastern on Thursday, after almost exactly 30 hours of time /played (total time minus bio/stretch breaks, sleep – about 11 hours over two sessions – and meals, basically) over a 46 hour period. Then I took a shower.
Yes, leveling quickly isn't the healthiest way to live, particularly when you do it the way I did – late nights, marathon quest sessions, short sleep sessions, and not enough caffeine (as weird as that sounds, I leveled to 90 without soda, coffee, chocolate, Red Bull, or 5 Hour Energy). Wednesday morning from 4-11 am, I got seven hours of sleep – which is a nice chunk – but that's because my body simply wouldn't function without it.
I have all kinds of thoughts on the expansion so far, but I don't know if I will write about most of them now. For one, they may make better separate posts. Additionally, I don't know if I have the will or energy to even do much here today.
At any rate, I hit up the Golden Lotus dailies, as well as the Klaxxi and the Tillers. Halfhill is such a cluster right now that I wasn't exactly thrilled to be doing it, and in my exhaustion I initially got pissed off about my lack of understanding about how it worked. So I did what you do in situations like that: just do the quests, dammit! Now I'm all settled in and learning how to make all kinds of yummy and beneficial foods…
I've done a couple of scenarios – Arena of Annihilation and Crypt of Forgotten Kings – and have enjoyed them immensely more than Theramore. For both scenarios, I went with my leveling spec, and, particularly for Crypt, I was able to pet tank – and to do so effectively – as Survival, as we had three DPS for both scenarios. That was fun for me. The new true taunt that pets have now is great, because a couple of these guys already out-geared me by quite a bit.
I've also done three of the four dungeons that aren't heroic – Shado'Pan is the only holdout – and intend to do some more this evening, or more scenarios. Or both. I just reached ilvl 441, thanks to getting my Brewfest trinket on my fourth try today, so I will likely hit up some heroics this weekend.
I enjoyed the leveling experience, and am enjoying the end game so far. Other than that, there isn't much to report. Or, there is, but I'm too tired to sort it all out and get it down "on paper" for you to read. I have many thoughts that I'll write about later, but I have to get myself presentable and go to work tonight! More thoughts to come.
Hope you're all having a lot of fun!!

Velvet Revolver 'Let It Roll – Live in Germany' DVD Coming Out in May
They don't have a singer and haven't released a CD since 2007, but a new Velvet Revolver DVD is set to be released. 'Let It Roll – Live In Germany' will be in stores May 25.
The DVD was filmed in March 2008 at the Palladium in Cologne, Germany, for the legendary Rockpalast TV series. Singer Scott Weiland left Velvet Revolver shortly after this concert, which was in support of their 'Libertad' CD. The set features several songs from that album along with hits from 'Contraband' such as 'Fall To Pieces' and 'Slither.' In addition, there are covers of both Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots tracks.
Velvet Revolver reunited in January at a tribute concert for John O'Brien. The band performed four songs together ('Sucker Train Blues,' 'She Builds Quick Machines,''Slither' and Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here'). Does that mean a full-fledged reunion is on tap? It has been a few months since that show, and there hasn't been any word one way or the other from the VR camp.
Slash, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum are probably tired of talking about Guns N' Roses after all the recent hoopla and controversy surrounding the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, so some Velvet Revolver talk might be a welcome diversion for them.
Velvet Revolver: 'Let It Roll – Live In Germany' Track Listing:
Let It Roll
She Mine
Do It For The Kids
Just Sixteen
Big Machine
American Man
The Last Fight
Interstate Love Song
She Builds Quick Machines
Get Out The Door
Fall To Pieces
It's So Easy
Set Me Free
Mr. Brownstone
Watch Velvet Revolver Perform 'It's So Easy' in Cologne, Germany

You have heard it before: Trade structure and money management are the most important components of a profitable trading strategy (see "Simple money management wins over time," January 2012), and while you can't dismiss the role played by entry and exit logic, order triggers are significantly overrated as the key contributor to profitable long-term results.
Surveys suggest that professional traders are successful about 60% of the time. Certainly that is not a bad success rate, but that is not why these traders make money.
Indeed, you can make a lot of money and be wrong 60% of the time. In the previous article, we presented the results of a test on the U.S. Dollar Index futures contract using a simple set of rules to ensure proper trade structure. There was no logic to entry/exit decisions at all. A coin flip initiated a sequence of trades. The results were a disappointing 38% success rate, losing on eight trades and making money on five.
Despite that dismal performance, the strategy made money. The reason was simple enough. Winning trades made more than losing trades lost. Winners averaged $1,100, and losers averaged $572. The net gain was $920 on a cash commitment of $3,500. The annualized rate of return was 70%.
Surely, all traders have heard the axiom, "You must make more on your winners than you lose on your losers to be successful." It probably is the single most ignored element of the average trader's approach and the main reason that 90% of traders, or more, fail over time.
Traders have losing trades and lots of them. It doesn't matter what strategy you use. To assume otherwise is naïve. Still, most traders choose to operate in that zone, and shoot for that rate of success. It is liberating to embrace that no single trade has better than a 50/50 chance of producing profits, despite your best efforts. That is reality.
This brings us to something you can control: Money management.

In Search of Fun
"So, how was SW?"
There was a slight pause, and the response was "It was fun until it wasn't."
"You know," I chimed in, "I've been hearing that a lot lately."
And I have. This isn't a TOR issue either, because I know of people who left WoW for TOR and haven't looked back. And if you read the general chat areas of places like Age of Conan you'll find loads of people who delight in bashing WoW and announcing how more awesome their current MMO is.
But still, in this case let's talk about TOR and WoW. What was it that TOR was missing? Or, for those who still play TOR and have not looked back, what is it that TOR has?
6 comments:
I can only speak from personal experience and from observing those around me, but basically the ones that still love and enjoy SWTOR all seem to be in friendly guilds and enjoy grouping up.ReplyDelete
The ones who went back to WoW on the other hand might have enjoyed the single player component of the class story, but don't like having to rely on other people at endgame, because you pretty much have to co-operate with others at some point in SWTOR. Yes, you can queue up for warzones or do dailies on your own, but you'll keep running into the same people and eventually someone will ask you to group up. I do suspect that a lot of players who treated the game like a single-player RPG actually found that intrusive... while at the same time being annoyed that other players weren't always available to help them out when needed.
By that I don't mean to say that these players are asocial, but that they prefer the WoW style of hopping in and out of the game and having everything available at the push of a button with no strings attached. For me this is exactly what killed WoW for me though, because even though I had friends in the game, they never played with me except in pre-arranged raids. Everyone just logged on and automatically went off to do their own thing. Asking people to do a guild run actually felt like being a nuisance, because you were basically expecting them to hold off and wait for other guildies to come online.
In other words, for me the most important difference is that I feel SWTOR rewards grouping and making friends where WoW punishes it (outside of raiding).Replies
@Shintar-- That's an interesting thought. I know that in some games, such as Age of Conan, the quests are designed with heavy grouping in mind. Even solo quests at-level in AoC can prove difficult to achieve because of how the mobs move/group together and their respawn rates. When there's nobody around, my work in AoC tends to grind to a halt. By comparison, WoW and (to a lesser extent LOTRO) are very solo friendly, even to the point of doing all the work of grouping for you.Delete

Well, I started out all fired up about SW:ToR - preordered a Digital Collector's Edition and started playing with pre-launch access. However, as the months have rolled by my enthusiasm has faltered. I can't point to any one big deal breaker; it's rather a lot of small things that are grating on my "fun sense". Part of it is that SW:ToR current feels a lot like TBC-era WoW, which had been great if I was still the same person that I was back then. This is of course a wholly personal preference thing, and that's why I'll be leaving without any drama and with a "Good luck and have fun!" to all of those still enjoying the game.ReplyDelete
Some of things I dislike slightly more are:
- The leveling is a bit too sequential with regards to the available zones/planets. Your class quests will force you to visit the same planets, in basically the same order, every time you level a new character. I had to change my main just as I was finishing up Act I with him, and have leveled up a new one to the end of Act I. I now dread the prospect of leveling another toon any time soon, and yet this is supposed to be one of the more interesting aspects of the game with the legacy system and all?
- I would love if you could choose what companions filled what roll (or if we could get dual-spec). As a trooper I liked Elara, but unfortunately I was a Commando healer so she was of little use to me in any real fights. As a Jedi Shadow tank, I almost exclusively quest with Tharan despite disliking him, instead of Qyzen who I actually like.
- There is a lot of travel time while questing (Looking at you, Alderaan!), which means less time to actually have fun when you're on a tight play time schedule. Sometimes it almost feels like those crazy, continent-hopping quests from the last few levels of Vanilla WoW.
- Not enough classes as the advance classes in many aspects doesn't differ that much from each other. Un-fun from an altoholic perspective, and makes it hard to choose what class you want to play completely freely in a small guild ("We already have 3 willpower, light armor users").
- The environment feels more like a bunch of theatre backdrops than a living environment. As an explorer type player, the first thing I feel in love with in WoW was the environment. You could click on all animals and NPCs, and you could fish in almost any body of water! (I know this is something most people don't agree on, but to me it is important for my immersion.)
- The class stories I have done so far (Jedi Consular and Trooper, both to the end of Act I) started off rather interesting, but sort of spluttered out later on, especially the Consular story gets a bit ludicrous when you confront the umpteenth sick Jedi master. Again, wasn't story the famous "fourth pillar" and the unique selling point of SW:ToR?
- A generally lack of polish compared to WoW - I know that this from a logically point of view is an utter rubbish complaint, but I still can't shake it. If Bioware wants to compete against WoW, they better start polishing up the game soon, because Blizzard sure ain't going to waiting for you to catch up.
All in all, SW:ToR is not a bad game in any meaning, but for me, WoW currently offers more fun and variety for my €15/month. If SW:ToR survives another year so that Bioware has the chance to add more content and polish, or if it goes F2P (perish the thought?), my prioritites may very well change.
@Rosencrantz-- I think the questing issues you're feeling are because of how Bioware wants to tell the story. Just like WoW with the Cata revamp and the phasing; the linearity and lack of a sandbox type atmosphere are because of the story they want to tell.Delete
The travel time issues were only solved in WoW by the massive proliferation of flight points; well, that and the reorganizing of the quest chains to spoon feed you from one location to the next. Your comparison of TOR with TBC is very apt in this regard, because the Outland quests did have their fair share of long quest travel times and lack of variety --although Cata had a large variety deficit too until you get to the Twilight Highlands-- and TBC did have a good amount of group-oriented quests.
For all of the MMO aging issues they have, Blizz does have a 7+ year head start on Bioware in running MMOs. The real question now becomes whether Bioware is a quick learner or not.
I just recently saw The Stoppable Force back in game. wow to sw to wow again. Im sure they are keeping some people of course but im sure the return to wow is measurable.ReplyDelete
I was trying to find an email to message you. Please send me one at hydra at twistednether dot comReplies
I saw his response and the comments, and the only thing I can think of is that the Cata leveling experience sounds remarkably like what they're describing. Until I hit Storm Peaks and Icecrown and got to the massive deviations between Horde and Alliance quests, I was ready to scream. Even then, leveling by questing in WoW isn't very sandbox-oriented in the post-Cata design.Delete
The more I've read and thought about it, the more I wonder whether people want a good story or whether they want a big Star Wars sandbox MMO. There is a sliding scale present in how many elements of each you can put in a game, but people wanting both extremes in a single game are going to be disappointed.
I'll ping you, Hydra. I know I keep close tabs on my e-mail accounts, but I guess we ought to put together a blog e-mail for generic purposes. If you'd have told me 3.5 years ago that we'd need one, I'd have thought you were crazy.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 27 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Research, development, and retail sales of sports/nutritional supplements
Predominantly male consumers between the age of 25 and 45, physically fit. However, we are not like other sports/performance supplements out there; our style is unique in that we like the consumer to feel as though they are holding a performance luxury vehicle in their hands and not another run-of-the-mill energy supplement. No loud, annoying colors. Imagine an ad for Jaguar, Mercedes, Infiniti, etc. Dark, brushed metal, gradients, low lighting, and so on. Sleek, strong, sophisticated. Here's a link to the font, which can be downloaded from the site or from my attachment if you prefer:
Brand: SplitFire
Slogan: ignition for body and mind
1. Because of the font, try typing the "t" with an "f" instead and then flip it around so that it becomes the exact mirror image of the "f" from "Fire". Doing that also makes it look like a "t" again.
2. The dots above each "i" should be glassy flames instead, the first one a deep purple, the second a bold orange. This should also provide a soft lighting effect for the letters.
3. The SplitFire part should be a dark, brushed metal with a slightly raised/rounded form.
4. The "ignition for body and mind" part should be just below SplitFire, between the tail of the "p" and the end. "Ignition" should stand out subtly in color from the rest of the words.
5. This will appear on mostly dark backgrounds.
Thank you and have fun!

" Llanddwyn Island (Ynys Llanddwyn) is a magical place. Located at the far end of a pleasant beach near Newborough Warren, this narrow finger of land is an ideal picnic site during fine weather, but also an exhilarating place when the winter winds blow. Its rolling dunes, large rock outcrops and mixture of historic buildings makes it an ideal place for an afternoon of exploration.
Llanddwyn is not quite an island. It remains attached to the mainland at all but the highest tides. It provides excellent views of Snowdonia and the Lleyn Peninsula and is part of the Newborough Warren National Nature Reserve."
Wales (Cymru in the Welsh language) is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The major cities are Cardiff, Swansea, Newport and Bangor. The city of St. Davids is the smallest city in the UK with a population around 2000. Wales itself has a population of around 3 million. The Welsh language is spoken by around 20% of the population.

Shares of Netflix Inc jumped as much as 20 percent on Wednesday after activist investor Carl Icahn reported a stake of nearly 10 percent in the company, which offers subscriptions to watch movies and TV shows over the Internet and on DVDs.
Icahn disclosed the stake in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Netflix stock, which was trading 14 percent higher at $79.47 per share late on Thursday afternoon, had reached $304 in July 2011 but has slumped after the company imposed an unpopular price hike, faced new competition and increased spending on new content and an international expansion.

This is a SMALL sample!
So, I had this giant pile of slightly black bananas. By giant, I mean it was at least 2 bunches of 7-10 bananas, each. I won't go into the reasons why these many accumulated on my counter, nevertheless, I had to use them! I am not a big fan of banana flavored baked goods (or anything banana flavor), but I really enjoy baking things with them. So, I got busy. I decided to make a "retro" version and a newer version to see what would win a taste test. Check out the recipes and I'll let you know at the end, which won!
Retro Banana Bread
- 3 ripe bananas
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 2 eggs, beaten light
- 2 c. flour
- 1 t. salt
- 1 t. soda
- 1/2 c. nuts, chopped (I did not use)
- Crush bananas with a silver fork. (Yup, not kidding)
- Add eggs, sugar, flour sifted with salt and soda and nuts (if desired).
- Pour into a greased loaf pan.
- Bake 1 hour at 325.
Modern Banana Bread
- 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (1 cup)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (did not use)
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the eggs, bananas, oil, buttermilk and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in nuts.
- Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan.
- Bake at 325° for 1 hour 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool on wire rack.
Yield: 1 loaf.
Do you want to know who won?????? (The taste test was done at my husband's office…many a hungry folk there!)
The retro looked really pretty, but the modern won! Try your own taste test! The one cool thing is that the retro recipe is fat free! Pretty cool if you are into that. Happy banana-ing!

A Radio Sweden reporter has been reimbursed half of her air fare for an overnight flight to Tanzania after Kenya Airlines left a dead passenger across the aisle from her.
Lena Pettersson was flying from Amsterdam to Africa for a vacation when a man in his 30s appeared to get sick and die, The Expressen reports on its website.
"I asked to move, but they said there were no other places. It has not so much to choose from in a plane, so I had to bite the bullet," she is quoted in the original report on Sveriges Radio.
(The websites' translation from Sweden to English makes for an even quirkier story.)
The Huffington Post notes that the unidentified man was given a "cardiac massage" but died a few hours into the flight. His body was laid across three seats and covered with a blanket for the duration of the flight.
Months after returning from vacation, Pettersson secured reimbursement for half the flight's cost – about $713, HuffPost reports.

Here are some nicely priced romances to feed your Kindle or Kindle app!
Three books for the price of one! Elizabeth Boyle's The Brazen Trilogy (The Brazen Series) only $6.99!
A boxed set of Elizabeth Boyle's wildly popular, Brazen series, including BRAZEN ANGEL, BRAZEN HEIRESS, and BRAZEN TEMPTRESS.
BRAZEN ANGEL: Lady Sophia D'Artiers plays a dangerous game of deception that pits her against the most unlikely of adversaries, her betrothed, Giles Corliss. Winner of the prestigious RWA RITA Award for Best First Book.
BRAZEN HEIRESS — Lady Lily D'Artiers is lured into spying by her childhood love, the bold and dashing Webb Dryden.
BRAZEN TEMPTRESS— Julien D'Artiers' double life as the toast of the ton and an American privateer are about to collide when he finds himself face to face with the one woman who could unmask him: his wife.
Gentleman Says "I Do" by Amelia Grey (only .99!)
Iverson Brentwood has finally met his match. Catalina Crisp heats his blood like no other lady. Her alluring countenance has stopped him dead in his tracks. But no matter how attracted he is to her, he can't give into his desire to possess her in every way…she is the daughter of the man he's sworn to destroy.
Catalina's father is a well-known writer, but wastrel whose disappearances continuously put them close to destitution. Something drastic must change, so it is with quill in hand, that Catalina completes her father's latest parody of Iverson and Matson Brentwood's spectacular arrival in London. When the story hits the newsprint, a darkly handsome man is at her door, looking for her father.
Seeing the dashing rogue in the flesh, for a bewildering moment dallying with the rake seems like the perfect fictional escape—and it's all she can do not to give into the madness of the intriguing man.
The next three books are digital reissues of Jennifer Ashley's Regency Pirates series. I like the new covers, so here's a shout out for all three, which are very reasonably priced.
Regency Pirates: Pirate Next Door by Jennifer Ashley (.99)
Mayfair, London, 1810: Alexandra Alastair, a respectable young English widow, wonders if she dare add the new viscount who's moved in next door to her list of potential husbands.
He certainly doesn't look like the gentlemen on her list—Grayson Finley, Viscount Stoke, is tall and sun-bronzed, muscular and blue-eyed. He wears dress so casual as to be unclothed—long coats, leather breeches, shirts without collar or cravat, and he carries pistols wherever he goes. The men who attend him are just as strange, exotic-looking, even. And the way Grayson smiles at Alexandra whenever they pass in the street—sinful, blood-warming—turns her inside out.
In the middle of the night Alexandra hears shouting coming from the house next door, and the viscount's life being threatened. She rushes over just in time to save Grayson from being hanged by his greatest enemy, his former best friend.
Thus is Alexandra pulled into the adventures of Grayson Finley, former pirate and terror of the seas. Grayson has made a bargain with the devil (in the form of the pirate hunter, James Ardmore), in order to ensure the safety of his daughter. He'll do anything to keep her safe, but when Alexandra saves his life, he looks into her eyes the color of water and starts to drown . . .
Book One of the Regency Pirates. Originally published in 2003, fully revised by the author in 2012. This is a full-length novel of 90,000 words.
Regency Pirates: Pirate Hunter's Lady by Jennifer Ashley ($2.99)
James Ardmore is hunting the pirate who killed his brother's family, and nothing will stand in his way. Not the English who want him dead, and definitely not Diana Worthing, a beautiful woman he takes the opportunity to abduct while he's busy rescuing an American spy. Diana knows the secrets of an island called Haven, which James is determined to find. But both James and Diana are unprepared for the sparks that fly between them.
The Pirate Hunter's Lady is the second, revised edition of the original print title: The Pirate Hunter. New in this edition: New first four chapters detailing Diana and James's first meeting. Revised, edited body of the book. New epilogue.
Care & Feeding of Pirates (Regency Pirates) by Jennifer Ashley ($2.99)
Book 3 in the Regency Pirates series. This is a full-length novel (80,000 words, twenty-six chapters).
Honoria Ardmore has a secret. Four years ago, the notorious pirate Christopher Raine, arrested and condemned for stealing a ship full of gold bound for Napoleon, makes one last request of Honoria. She grants it, and Christopher is taken out to be hanged. — Or was he?
Honoria couldn't have seen him alive again in the rather thick fog outside Covent Garden Theatre, could she? Christopher is long dead and gone, Honoria's secret with him. Her life has moved on, and now she's betrothed to a respectable English gentleman.
Christopher has other ideas. His sentence commuted at the last minute, Christopher was press-ganged onto a ship bound for Asia, and he's spent the last four years working to return home and get everything back—his crew, his treasure, and Honoria Ardmore—his wife.
Meet the crew of the Starcross, and revisit the crews of the Argonaut and the Majesty for more pirate fun and adventure!

One of the most anticipated features of CyanogenMod 9 -- the upcoming custom Android distribution based on Ice Cream Sandwich -- is its new home screen launcher, dubbed "Trebuchet." Much like CM itself, Trebuchet expands upon what's offered in stock Android with a host of new settings and features, like the ability to customize the number of home screens, and kill the persistent search bar if you want. Now, thanks to the release of an initial alpha build, early adopters can test out Trebuchet before it's rolled out in CM9 next year.
The catch is that to install the Trebuchet alpha you'll need a rooted Android 4.0.3 device, along with some command line skills. Currently the GSM Nexus S is the only phone that has 4.0.3 officially, though other devices like the Galaxy Nexus can run 4.0.3 code built from the Android Open Source Project.
The current Trebuchet alpha includes just over half of the planned feature set -- for example, extra functionality like infinite scrolling and transition effects have yet to be implemented. However, if you want a sneak peek at what's coming in CM9 in the months ahead, you can find out more over at the source link.

I walk into an empty room,
Empty, except for me and you.
I feel as my depression is knocked out of me,
Yes, knocked.
I mean it quite literally.
You jump at me,
And I am suddenly estatic.
Why? Well, because you are.
It is very uncomfortable,
Being forced to smile.
But, I know I have to,
Even just every once in a while.

I blink, and think,
I love being around you.

Bear Davis to Join Machine Front Office Full-Time; Promoted to Vice President & Head Coach
- August 20th, 2014
- Posted by Columbus Wired
- in Ohio Machine (MLL)
COLUMBUS, OHIO (August 20, 2014) – The Ohio Machine, Ohio's Major League Lacrosse team, announced today that Bear Davis has been promoted to Vice President & Head Coach. As part of the promotion, Davis will join the front office on a full-time basis. In addition to his responsibilities as head coach, Davis will help expand the Machine's ticket sales and community relations efforts.
"Bear has made a profound impact on our team and community in a relatively short time," Machine President & General Manager John Algie said. "Allowing Bear to come home to Ohio and devote his full attention to our organization is the next step in our evolution. I'm even more optimistic for the future of the Machine and lacrosse in Ohio with Bear as a full-time member of the Machine's front office."
Davis, a Hilliard High School alum, joined the Machine on June 24, 2013 when he was named the second head coach in club history. In 2014, Davis has led the Machine to a 8-6 regular season record and guided the team to its first-ever playoff appearance. The Machine's six game improvement over its 2013 record is tied for the largest single-season turnaround in Major League Lacrosse history.
"I am excited to be coming back home to Ohio to continue the momentum we've built this season on and off the field," Davis said. "Ohio lacrosse has given so much to me and I am eager to return to where it all started and to contribute to the success of the Machine and the growth of the sport."
Under Davis, the Machine posted the top-ranked offense in Major League Lacrosse in 2014. The team ended the regular season with five straight wins, which tied for the longest winning streak in MLL this season. On offense, the Machine boasted four players that scored 27 or more goals, a feat that hadn't been accomplished in the league since the 2004 season. Davis was the runner-up for the Brine Coach of the Year award this season.
Prior to joining the Machine full-time, Davis was the head boy's lacrosse coach and associate athletic director at Archbishop Spalding High School (Md.). Davis took over at Archbishop Spalding after building the men's lacrosse program at Robert Morris University over the span of seven seasons as the program's first-ever head coach. Robert Morris led the NCAA in scoring offense for two straight seasons under Davis. Prior to Robert Morris, Davis helped start the Wheeling Jesuit men's lacrosse program and guided the Cardinals to a No. 10 national ranking in 2003.
Season tickets for the Machine's 2015 season are now on sale and range from General Admission at $92 to a Field Level Box at $2,400 and include seven regular season home games plus a 2015 MLL playoff game. Information on 2015 season tickets can be found at http://www.theohiomachine.com/2015seasontickets or by calling 614-754-1973.
About the Ohio Machine
The Ohio Machine, Ohio's Major League Lacrosse team founded in 2012, began its 2014 season in April and finished the season with an 8-6 regular season record. The Machine clinched its first-ever playoff appearance in 2014. The team plays its home games at Selby Stadium in Delaware, Ohio. The 2014 MLL Championship is set for August 23.

Gearhart Mountain Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Gearhart Mountain Wilderness (map) in 1964 and it now has a total of 22,587 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Oregon and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionAt 8,364 feet, Gearhart Mountain stands higher than all the other volcanic domes in this Wilderness of high mountain meadows, cirques, and U-shaped valleys. Picturesque rock formations cap most of the ridgelines, offering sweeping views of the artistic sculpturings of long-vanished glaciers. Lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, whitebark pine and white fir dominate the vegetation. There is only one lake in the Wilderness, Blue Lake. The Wild and Scenic North Fork Sprague River sweeps past the northern boundary of the area. The main thoroughfare, Gearhart Mountain Trail, provides about 13 miles of access for foot and horse traffic along the main ridge and to the well-visited shores of Blue Lake. Joining the main trail from the southwest is the 3 mile Boulder Creek Trail to the wilderness boundary and the 3.5 mile Deming Creek Trail to the Forest Trailhead. The wilderness has fairly gentle terrain and open forestland with beautiful mountain meadows with lush green ground cover, stands of aspens, and multitude of spring flowers that invites visitors to explore all corners of the wilderness The snow starts in late September and may linger until early July. Snowshoeing and backcountry skiing are increasingly popular sports here.

Wayland Moore, American (1935 - )
Since Wayland Moore has worked so effectively in the sports idiom, reference to him as an "artistic triple threat" would not be an inappropriate analogy. He has not only reached a height plateau of competency, he as received critical acclaim as an illustrator, cartoonist and painter.
As an illustrator, much in demand, he is one of the few Southerners belonging to the Society of Illustrators of New York. In 1967, his work for the Sarasota, Florida Herald-Tribune won him a nomination for a Pulitzer Prize in editorial cartooning.
After graduation from high school in Belton South Carolina where e received his first art training, Moore majored in commercial design at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida. Since graduation he has worked he has worked for a design house in Greenville, South Carolina as art director for an NBC-TV affiliate, art director for the Sarasota Herald-Tribune and as senior illustrator with an Atlanta studio. In 1971 he opened Wayland Moore Studios which is located at Atlanta Stadium where Moore serves as graphics director for the Atlanta Braves, combining his career interests in art with his leisure time love of sports.
In addition to the Pulitzer Prize nomination, is a book consisting of his Florida Sketches, a front page cartoon that is included in the permanent collection of Walt Disney Studios in California, a scholarship offered in his name by the Ringling School of Art and a string of artistic assignments that have included coverage of the Indianapolis 500, PGA Golf Tournaments, Can-Am races and, perhaps the greatest spots hustle of all time, the Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs tennis match in Houston's Astrodome.
An athlete who paints, Wayland Moore has achieved preeminence in the sports world through a multi-faceted background. A football player who turned down athletic scholarships to attend the Ringling School of Art. A Pulitzer prize nominee for editorial cartooning who became Graphics Director for a major league baseball team. But, most important, an artist with the ability to capture a moment without freezing it - the ability that only comes from having "been there" as an athlete.

One of the four persons involved in the May 10, 1973, kidnapping and shooting death of Richard Miller, 19, McConnellsburg, will be returned to Maryland next month to serve prison time there in connection with the Miller case. The state's attorney is seeking to return William Isaacs to Maryland following his release from a Georgia prison February 18 to serve time in Maryland for second-degree murder, kidnapping and motor vehicle theft charges. Isaacs, now in his mid-30s, who was 16 at the time of Miller's murder, received consecutive 30- year sentences on the charges. He turned state's evidence in Georgia and testified against his brother, Carl Isaacs Jr., his halfbrother, Wayne Coleman, and another man, George Dungee, in their trials for the murders of five male members and one female member of the Alday family and the rape of the female Alday. Those three each received the death sentence in Georgia, but those sentences later were commuted to life sentences. The four men escaped from a work camp in Towson, Md., on May 5, 1973, and made their way to Fulton County. Richard Miller spotted the men acting suspiciously around a truck parked near Patterson Run Road. Miller went to see what the men were doing and apparently was kidnapped.

Most cold sores heal on their own without prescription medicines. But some antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir or famciclovir) when taken orally (tablets) may
be helpful in reducing the frequency and severity of attacks of
cold sores.
Doctors may prescribe oral antiviral medicines that
can be taken daily to prevent future outbreaks of cold sores. These medicines
may also be given during periods of increased risk of getting cold sores
(such as during cosmetic surgery or sun exposure).
Oral antivirals work best in treating recurring cold sores
if they are taken within 24 to 48 hours of an outbreak of cold
Pregnant or nursing women should seek their doctors' advice prior to
taking antiviral medicines. Those with kidney problems may be advised to take
lower doses.
Some examples of oral antiviral medicines prescribed to treat cold
sores include the following:
Acyclovir (Zovirax) tablets may slightly shorten the duration of pain and the healing time of a first attack of cold sores.footnote 1
Common side effects of acyclovir tablets include nausea, diarrhea, and headache.
A lower dose of oral acyclovir is needed for people who have
reduced kidney function.
Famciclovir (Famvir) is sometimes used to treat the herpes virus that causes
cold sores and genital herpes (as well as the virus that causes shingles). This medicine is available only by
prescription and is taken orally in tablet form.
If you are pregnant or nursing, you should talk with your doctor
before taking famciclovir.
This medicine is not recommended for people who have had an
allergic reaction to it in the past.
Possible mild side effects include itching, fever, headache,
fatigue, nausea, or diarrhea.
Valacyclovir (Valtrex) capsules are available by prescription only. It is absorbed by the body much better than
some other antiviral medicines (such as acyclovir).
Possible side effects include skin rash,
allergic reaction, headache, dizziness,
insomnia, and
Children, pregnant women, and people who have HIV or who have had
bone marrow or kidney transplants should talk with their doctors before taking
this medicine.
