High altitude effects on athletic performance
Effect of altitude on physiological performance: a statistical analysis using results of international football games. Patrick E McSharry. BMJ 2007; 335: 1278-1281 (22 December).
There is a strong belief that athletes who live and train at high altitudes have an unfair advantage over those athletes visiting from lower altitudes. In response,
football's governing body, the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), banned international matches from being played at more than 2500 m above sea level.
There is a plausible mechanistic explanation for this concern.
At high altitude hypoxia, cold, and dehydration can lead to breathlessness, headaches, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue, and possibly altitude illness including syndromes such as acute mountain sickness, high altitude pulmonary oedema, and cerebral oedema. Activities such as football can exacerbate symptoms, preventing players from performing at full capacity.
What would the data say. An ideal database exists to explore whether high altitude has a detrimental effect on athletes visiting from lower altitudes. In South America, which has three large cities at high altitude (Bogota, Columbia, Quito, Ecuador, and La Paz, Bolivia), there are records of 1460 football matches played over a 100 year period at a wide range of altitudes. This data set included four variables:
(i) the probability of a win, (ii) the number of goals scored, (iii) the number of goals conceded, and (iv) the altitude difference between the home venue of a specific team and that of the opposition.
as well as indicators for individual countries. This study used a logistic regression model to predict the probability of a win by the home team, and two Poisson regression models: one to predict number of goals scored by the home team and a second to predict the number of goals conceded by the home team.
The graph of the predicted equations appears above. These graphs show clearly that a thousand meter difference in altitude between the home team and the opposition produces a large change in the estimated probability of a win for the home team, the expected number of goals scored by the home team, and the expected number of goals allowed by the home team.
1. Although the graphs are non-linear, a linear approximation is quite reasonable for the predicted values. Estimate how much change in probability of home team winning, goals scored by the home team, and goals allowed by the home team changes for each 1,000 meter change in altitude.
2. There are many variables that were not considered in this analysis. List some of the more important variables that were not included. Consider whether these variables are easy to measure or hard to measure.
3. Is there an alternate explanation other than change in altitude that could account for the differential in home team win probability, goals scored by the home team, and goals allowed by the home team?
4. Should international football matches be allowed in high altitude locations?

A reader pointed out this thread at Democratic Underground, where the innermost core of the Democratic Party is on display. Some of the posters, like the one who started the thread, are over the top:
All the media keeps talking about is how happy the Iraqis are, how high turnout was, and how "freedom" has spread to Iraq. I had to turn off CNN because they kept focusing on the so-called "voters" and barely mentioned the resistance movements at all. Where are the freedom fighters today? Are their voices silenced because some American puppets cast a few ballots?
I can't believe the Iraqis are buying into this "democracy" bullshit.
That's the American left in its natural habitat. At least one poster, though, had some sensible thoughts about the future of the Democratic Party:
If you want to cheer on a bunch zealots who stone gays and beat women or power-mad fascists, then go over to Pat Robertson's or the neo-Nazi's website. It's that kind of anti-democratic Democratic thinking that is turning the DNC into the minority party everywhere.
If what happened today in Iraq is screwing up the world, then we've got to figure out how to screw it up faster. Maybe if we could screw up mainland "company town" China their workers could have real unions and be able to bargin for better conditions. Let's screw up Iran next. After their wars women are enough of a majority there they might could elect some feminists.
Why does Bush say he wants to spread freedom around the world? If that's what American's want to here, then let's get out in front of it and complain from the cutting edge that the conservatives are too slow. Tell people that if they want to make sure its done right then who better than the party of Jefferson and Wilson and Roosevelt.
This short-sighted "the enemy of my political oponent is my friend" obsession is not only going to alienate voters, it's going to destroy an otherwise great opportunity to spread democracy around the world.
It's not enough to say that Bush's inaugural speech sounded pretty but he doesn't mean it, you have to follow it up by saying "BUT WE DO, we have a track record of 2 centuries of success, and if you give us a chance we'll show you again." How many people are going to be inspired by following it up with "and we'll protect your Social Security better?" Deep down people need to be a part of something greater than themselves. Maybe "fighting to blow up hopeful voters" seems great to a few people, but "fighting to make sure the bravery of hopeful voters is not wasted or betrayed" sounds better to me. I'll bet it sounds better to a lot of swing voters too.
As far as people "betraying their country" by wanting to vote… How the (&@(#& is that kind of nationalist thinking progressive?
But in the inner precincts of today's Democratic Party, that guy is in the minority.

New trends towards increased regulation, scrutiny, lawsuits and penalties are forcing valuation professionals from all disciplines to take a serious look at how they conduct business.
Real estate appraisers in particular are taking the brunt of complaints, because the Appraisal Subcommitte (ASC) is pushing state regulators to enforce requirements on continuing education as well as Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Then there is the Dodd Frank Act, which MANDATES that a user file a complaint with the license board if that user is dissatisfied with an appraisal report. If the appraiser is found to have violated USPAP or a state statute, then that appraiser may be liable for civil negligence.
Add to that business valuers, machinery and equipment appraisers and general personal property appraisers are under serious scrutiny by the IRS, including increased fines, penalties and potential disbarment, meaning being barred from performing appraisals for tax related matters.
Then you can factor in civil lawsuits against appraisers for negligence in performing valuations. Most appraisers have never been critiqued. Hence they continue to make systemic mistakes believing that what they learned, were taught or have practiced is correct. Some find out the hard way when faced with a charge of negligence.
ASA has been on the forefront of these trends and has recently updated the Appraisal Review and Management program to help valuation professionals reduce such risks. Recent changes to the program allow currently designated ASA's to earn an ARM designation by submitting an application, completing ARM201 and ARM204 courses, and submitting an appraisal review report to an examining committee.
Learn more about ASA's Appraisal Review and Management Program from an interview with Roger P. Durkin, FASA who is chair of ASA's ARM Discipline Committee and a practicing appraiser and attorney; or by calling ASA at (800) 272-8258.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: Tobacco, an important cash crop in the Deerfield, Massachusetts, region to this day, was/is cut at its base using this hatchet and ones similar to it. Native Americans and early settlers harvested tobacco in the Deerfield area, but it was not grown as a cash crop until the 1860s. In their search for profitable crops to add to their mixed farming system, Connecticut Valley farmers found tobacco to be a highly rewarding choice. Tobacco was the one Connecticut Valley crop whose production increased, particularly from 1885 to 1914. Tobacco is a labor-intensive crop requiring hand planting, care, and harvesting. After cutting the whole plants are suspended upside down to dry in special tobacco barns.

Lovage RootLigusticum sinense, better known as Lovage Root, has long been used as an ornamental plant and an herbal remedy.
Lovage Root, is a native herb of the Mediterranean region, growing wild in the mountainous districts of the south of France, in northern Greece and the Balkans. Formerly grown as an ornamental plant, Lovage Root is still occasionally cultivated as a sweet herb and used in herbal medicine for its root, and to a lesser degree, its leaves and seeds.
An herbal tea with a very sweet-smelling fragrance can be made from the dried leaves of Organic Lovage Root. Organic Lovage Root can be eaten in salads or infused dry as a tea or decoction.

I am, I can't help it. The conservatives are right in at least one point: this could be the issue that causes the whole thing to go nuclear. It can't be ignored, and it exposes all the cognitive dissonance and internal contradictions baked into the cake of SDAism. It's worth a visit to the Spectrum site just to watch the cons dance around the role of Ellen WHite while still holding to "male headship," which to them is a "principle."
I have no passions about this, except to note how lucky I am to no longer be involved in an organization where this sort of thing is controversial.

You know, wouldn't this make a great Jezebel article? Someone should drop it in their tips box. ;)
Then again, for a group that fancies itself unique in all the Earth, gender discrimination isn't a unique problem. It's probably too hum-drum for Jezebel!
The two issues I see that are likely to continue to drive people of the Millennial generation and the one after them out of religion is equality for women and LGBT rights or one denomination after another will change with the culture, just like they did with slavery 150 - 200 years ago.
I see things havent changed much in 35 years! In 1978 I was the first woman (at age 19) to deliver a sermon in our entire State (perhaps in my country!) and it was considered very radical. i then went off to study theology, and was one of 2 women doing so - however it was made clear we would not be 'ordained' which made me angry. Not to worry, after studying theology, especially polemics, I just couldnt keep believing, and a year later I left. Recently I asked a still staunch SDA friend from those days if there were any women pastors yet - and no, only elders. I cant believe they are still having this debate, or that women in the SDA church still put up with it!
The more things change, the more they stay the same. But, on the upside, maybe this will give a few more folks the push they need to escape the mind control.
I can't help it. Somehow, in the dead of a sleepless night about a year ago, I found myself following all these forums/discussions/threads about the SDA's "prayerfully seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit" in dealing with this matter. It kinda felt like being a fox in the henhouse-- watching all this pious anxiety. The commissions and study groups, blah blah to focus on the "theology." The thing that incensed me most (and there was TONS of stuff to pick from)was that it will take them UNTIL 2015 TO EVEN DECIDE WHETHER TO RECOMMEND TO THE GC TO CONSIDER STUDYING THE ISSUE!!! I apologize for the all caps, but yes, I am yelling. {sheepishly hangs head}
The simple fact that this is EVEN AN ISSUE TO BE CONSIDERED AT ALL tells you all you need to know about these wingnuts. Apologize for all caps again. This one's a biggie for me.
I notice Karen P's comment. I'd add that I was the first female to complete a minor in biblical Greek at old SMC. I was also a student of Jerry Gladson's and remember him quietly telling me one time that the day would come when women would be accepted, and that I would be prepared and ready. And of course, it was fun then to follow the saga of what subsequently happened to the erudite Dr. Gladson. No wonder I liked him back then.
For real shits and giggles, Goggle Doug Batchelor's sermon on women's ordination. I can't even get started on how psychotic the lack of internally consistent reasoning is. If you're female, I highly recommend lots of strong liquor close by to get through it.
I still have family in the church and haven't heard about this. But that is one thing I always admired about the Catholic Church. They tend to stick to their guns and not bow to changes in society. If you build a church on basic tenets then shouldn't you stick to them? But recently it appears the new pope is wobbling.
I know a few SDA's that will go nuts if women are ordained. That is hilarious.
Don't worry. When the Pope says he wants to talk about certain issues less, that just means he wants to talk about them less. Always better to hide what you know you're wrong about. Adventists do the same thing. ;)

Mavericks 94, Celtics 89: Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points and Monta Ellis added 17 as Dallas survived a late rally by visiting Boston to pick up its third straight win.
Devin Harris produced 12 points and six assists off the bench and Shawn Marion had 11 points and six rebounds for the Mavericks, who moved within a game of idle Golden State in their push for sixth place in the Western Conference. Brandan Wright chipped in 10 points on 5-of-5 shooting, including a critical putback in the final minute.
Jerryd Bayless scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter to lead the late charge by the Celtics. Kelly Olynyk scored 16 points and Jared Sullinger added 13, both of them contributing nine rebounds.
Bayless and Avery Bradley hit consecutive 3-pointers to cut a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit in half and Bayless had a fadeaway with 2:39 to go that pulled the Celtics within a basket. After Olynyk answered Wright's big basket with a putback of his own, Bradley picked Ellis clean and went in for a dunk to make it 90-89 with 21.6 seconds remaining, but Ellis made two free throws on the other end and Marion did the same following a Bayless miss to seal it.
The Celtics had a 13-0 run early in the second quarter that helped them stay within seven points at halftime and a 12-0 burst to end the third that cut the Mavericks' lead to 64-61. Olynyk's 3-pointer got Boston within 70-66 with 8:32 left in the game before Harris hit Wright for an alley-oop and Nowitzki threw down a slam in transition to spark a surge that put Dallas up 78-66 midway through the fourth.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Celtics PG Rajon Rondo did not play, continuing his practice of sitting out the second half of back-to-backs. ... C Kris Humphries hauled in 14 rebounds to help Boston secure a 57-36 advantage on the glass. ... Dallas improved to 20-9 overall against the East, while the Celtics fell to 0-15 on the road against teams from the West.

An Overview of Rescriptor (Delavirdine)
August 23, 2013
Brand Name: Rescriptor
The benefit of using delavirdine may be limited. Delavirdine should always be used with another anti-HIV medicine to avoid resistance to HIV.
Delavirdine can cause serious life-threatening side effects. This includes severe rash.
If you have any of the following symptoms along with a skin rash, stop taking delavirdine and contact your health care provider right away:
Taking certain medicines with delavirdine may cause serious, life-threatening side effects.
While taking delavirdine, it is important to keep all of your appointments with your health care provider.
What is delavirdine?
Delavirdine is a prescription medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of HIV infection in adults. Delavirdine is always used in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
Delavirdine is a type of anti-HIV medicine called a non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). NNRTIs work by binding to and blocking HIV reverse transcriptase, an HIV enzyme. This prevents HIV from replicating and lowers the amount of HIV in the blood.
Delavirdine does not cure HIV/AIDS. Whether delavirdine reduces the risk of HIV transmission is unknown.
What should I tell my health care provider before taking delavirdine?
Before taking delavirdine, tell your health care provider:
How should I take delavirdine?
Delavirdine comes in tablet form in two strengths:
Take delavirdine according to your health care provider's instructions.
Delavirdine may be taken with or without food, but it may be best to take it the same way each day. If you are taking both delavirdine and antacids, take them at least 1 hour apart. If your health care provider has told you that you don't have enough stomach acid, take delavirdine with orange or cranberry juice.
If you have trouble swallowing tablets, the 100-mg delavirdine tablets may be dissolved in water. Add four tablets to at least 3 ounces of water. Allow the tablets to sit in the water for a few minutes. Stir the water until the tablets have dissolved and then drink the delavirdine-water mixture right away. Rinse the glass and swallow the rinse to make sure that you get all the medicine. Delavirdine 200-mg tablets cannot be dissolved in water and must be swallowed whole.
Always take delavirdine in combination with other anti-HIV medicines.
If you take too much delavirdine, contact your local poison control center (1-800-222-1222) or go to the nearest hospital emergency room right away.
For more information on how to take delavirdine, see the FDA drug label from DailyMed. (DailyMed is a federal website that includes the most recent drug labels submitted to FDA.) Toward the end of the label is patient information for people taking delavirdine.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. But if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and just take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
What side effects can delavirdine cause?
Delavirdine can cause serious, life-threatening side effects. This includes severe rash. (See the WARNING above.)
Other possible side effects of delavirdine include:
Tell your health care provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of delavirdine. Ask your health care provider or pharmacist for more information on possible side effects of delavirdine.
How should delavirdine be stored?
Where can I find more information about delavirdine?
More information about delavirdine is available:

Bugatti reveals new Legend special
Welcome to the £1.92m 'Jean Bugatti' Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, a special edition so special they're only making three.
It's part of the 'legends' series that debuted at this year's Pebble Beach with the Jean-Pierre Wimille edition. This one doffs its cap to Jean Bugatti, oldest son of company founder Ettore, and creator of the stunning 57SC Atlantic, which this car loosely references.
So, what d'you get for your money? Nothing mechanical's changed over the 'standard' Veyron GSV - not that we're complaining about an 8.0litre W16-powered convertible with 1200bhp, 1106lb ft and a 0-62mph time of 2.6 seconds - but each JB edition gets platinum Bugatti horseshoe logos, with clear-coated naked carbon fibre bodywork, black wheels with diamond-cut edging, and Jean Bugatti's signature's lasered onto the petrol and oil cap.
Inside, it has the same beige and brown pallet as the Type 57SC Atlantic, and to ram the point directly down your throat, the old car's profile's embroidered onto the door cards and rear storage compartment with beige silk thread. The gear stick's also been carved out of rosewood. Which is nice.
You also get leather insert embossed with 'Les Légendes de Bugatti' in the extended section of the centre console, and a door sill plate etched with the likeness and signature of Jean Bugatti himself.
So: this, or an original 57SC Atlantic, TG.com?

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Cheryl A. LaFleur Statement
January 17, 2013
Docket No. RM13-2-000
FERC Proposed Reforms for Small Generator Interconnections
I have frequently observed that one of the Commissions most important responsibilities is to determine whether our existing policies remain just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory in light of ongoing changes in the nations power supply. As the countrys generation mix continues to evolve, the Commission must ensure that its policies do not saddle customers with unnecessary costs or raise artificial barriers to new sources of energy.
Today we vote out a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) consistent with this responsibility. Specifically, the Commission proposes modifications to its small generator interconnection procedures that are intended to reduce the time and cost to process interconnection requests, particularly those of solar generators, while maintaining the reliability of the grid.
The timing of todays NOPR is particularly appropriate. As the NOPR points out, twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia have renewable portfolio standards, while an additional eight states have renewable portfolio goals. Some states have also implemented distributed generation carve-outs in which a percentage of the total state renewable portfolio standard must come from distributed generation. As a result of these and other policies, and technological advances, SEIA notes that the amount of installed solar capacity in the United States has grown at a 49% annual rate during the past decade. States as diverse as California and New Jersey have been leaders in this effort.
Following the technical conference on this topic last summer, the Commission received several comments requesting that it convene a stakeholder working group to facilitate further discussion. I am pleased that the Commission intends to take commenters up on this suggestion. In the NOPR, the Commission announces that it will hold a workshop during the comment period to discuss the technical aspects of todays proposals. I hope we get comments from a wide range of parties on the proposed rule, and strong participation in the workshop.
Thank you to the Commission staff who worked on this Order.

Emergency alert speaker system test, Oct. 11
October 05, 2012
On Thursday, October 11, 2012, at 8:15 a.m., Lewis & Clark will again conduct a short test of its newest emergency messaging system.
Over a several minute span, the Carillon Campus Alert Speaker System will be tested from several campus locations.
The testing will consist of three separate emergency alerts, all heard campus wide, from speakers mounted at the Graduate School, the Undergraduate campus, and the Law School.
The test will feature a brief voice introduction, followed by campus alert tones, siren tones, and spoken messages that would alert community members in a true emergency situation. The test will conclude with a second brief voice message.
This test is the only realistic way to determine that the system functions correctly. Community members are asked to bear with us and disregard the emergency messages directing them to seek shelter.
Thank you for your attention.

Director of Campus Safety

Top 10 from the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration
Evan's Top 10 from the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration
Every Mustang enthusiast has a wish list—I certainly do, and I got up close and personal with many of my dream machines at the recently held Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration in Concord, North Carolina this past April.
Like many of you, I think about Mustangs constantly, and I have my ATF's (all-time favorites)—you know, the ones you own—or would kill to own (hypothetically speaking, of course). They are named Boss, Shelby, Bullitt, or you might crave a GT, or even a new V6. In the name of fun, the Mustang-360.com editors made up individual Top 10 Mustang lists, but we kept it to Stangs we saw at the Mustang 50th Birthday celebration.
Of the millions and millions of Mustangs Ford has built, this merely narrowed it down to a few thousand. There are so many specialty Mustangs including Boss, classic Shelby, Cobra Jet, Steeda, Saleen, and Roush Stangs, plus the SVT Cobras, new Shelby models and so many more—heck, we're talking about 50 years of coolness, my friends, that it's hard to define my 10 favorite.
So, off I went—I roamed the show and vendor areas, and I watched the Mustangs run on track at the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration and I finally created my Top 10 list. This was no easy task mid you, as there were thousands that got my heart racing.
In addition to seeing so many quality Ford Mustangs, the event brought me back in time, as I saw a Mustang that looked like my first Stang—I also saw a clone of the First Mustang I ever craved. But I also got a glimpse into the future with the 2015 Mustang perched on Ford's rotating display. Aside from the miles of show Mustangs, it was a treat watching the participants roaring around the Charlotte Motor Speedway "roval" race course.
It was great to talk Mustangs with everyone from Ford COO Mark Fields, to Bill Ford Jr. and all the enthusiastic manufacturers and owners. Hearing their stories and learning about their special projects is so important to me and the Mustang-360.com team.
Of course you're wondering what I liked the best, so here is my Top 10 Mustangs list, along with the accompanying photos I've put together for your enjoyment.
10. 1967 Shelby GT500
Of all the early Shelby models, the '67 GT500 is my favorite. Shelby accessorized the insanely-popular Mustang with racy bodywork, including a shark-like nose with quad lamps, and fire-breathing nostrils in the hood that feed the dual-quad 428 engine. Most Mustang enthusiasts would agree it's hard to beat a 428-powered GT500, especially in red. If I owned one it would be my weekend cruiser, no doubt about it. I especially liked the patina of this real "driver." Nothing against 100-point resto show queens, but I'd be racing my Shelby, so it would likely have a few scratches and/or imperfections.
9. 1969 Boss 429
At first, all I heard was the rumble of this nasty black Boss 429—I then snapped my head around to catch a glimpse of this wicked machine. Boss-9 Mustangs were purpose-built so for Ford could receive homologation for the 429 Shotgun Hemi in NASCAR (although they did not race Mustangs in NASCAR). For many, the Boss 429 is the ultimate Mustang, and this one glistened in the sun, the nasty cam loped wildly and I could hear the squeeze and bang of each compression cycle—it was music to my ears—in fact the exhaust note alone was all I needed to add this Boss to my top 10 list.
8. Fox-Body Saleen Mustang
During the late '80s I worked at Dayton Ford in Central New Jersey, which was a big-time Saleen dealer. I drooled over those bold Saleen Mustangs when they rolled off the truck and I'd take my break "geeking out" in the showroom, looking, dreaming, wanting. I never got the chance to drive one back then, only later, working for MM&FF, did I get behind the wheel of a Saleen Mustang. Fox Saleens ooze with coolness, from the three-spoke steering wheel and Recaro seats, to the low front fascia and whale tail. Saleen has become iconic to Mustang enthusiasts and it all started with the Fox-Body variant.
During the muscle car era (1964-72) drag racers ordered bare-bones, stripped down models, sans radio, heater and power options—some even came with rubber floor mats in place of a rug. Being a drag racer at heart, I've always loved theses "stripper" machines, because they were the most affordable, plus they were meant to be light and go fast. The 1985 5.0 LX fits the bill, especially this perfect low-mileage example I saw at Daniel Carpenter Mustang Reproductions in Concord, North Carolina during my trip the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration. Seeing this LX is a prime example of why I love American V8 iron. This particular LX it's a clone to the '85 Mustang I first saw in Hot Rod magazine back in 1985. That story made me want a Mustang so badly and in 1987 I stepped up and purchased my very own 5.0 LX.
6. 1968 Cobra Jets
In 2009 Ford made waves in the NHRA racing world when John Calvert won the NHRA Winternationals (Pomona, California) in a 2008 Cobra Jet Mustang. This was the catalyst for Ford to ramp up its CJ program, which has been a raging success ever since. In fact, not only has every run of 50 cars sold out, there isn't a factory vehicle on the planet capable of matching the acceleration of the 2014 CJ—it can run 8s and nearly 160 mph! But we must remember the original 1968 428-powered CJ, which also won in it's first outing at the 1968 Winternationals in Pomona, California. I saw five really awesome CJ examples in Concord, and I'd be glad to own any one of them—from a beautifully done NHRA Super Stocker, to the barn-find I saw on display, which hasn't run in over 30 years.
5. 1987 Regatta Blue LX
This 1987 5.0 LX makes the list because it's a near clone to my first Mustang, which I purchased in December of 1987. My '87 became MM&FF's Project Stocker, but it started life as a Bright Regatta Blue '87 5.0 LX five-speed. It has since morphed into a NHRA-winning and record setting 1993 Cobra clone. This weekend race warrior belongs to Kevin Lunn of Maineville, Ohio. In addition to the Bright Regatta Blue paint, it has the Regatta Blue interior and was originally equipped with a stick—just like mine. According to Peter C. Sessler's Mustang Red Book, Ford produced only 229 Bright Regatta Blue 5.0 LX Mustangs in 1987, making it somewhat rare.
4. 1970 Coyote Swap Mustang
I didn't care that this particular '70 Mustang wasn't a real Boss. It had the exact mods I'd pick if I was building a resto-mod Mustang, and in my eyes, it had the perfect combo of Coyote power, Minilite-style wheels and that classic Grabber Orange paint. It screams out "Trans-Am Racer" just like the one Parnelli Jones drove to the 1970 Trans Am championship. Sign me up!
3. 1993 SVT Cobra
Most Fox-body aficionados agree the 1993 SVT Cobra represents the epitome of the breed. The SVT Cobra had the right stuff, including the 235 hp Cobra engine. Unique features included the Cobra intake, which was engineered after the popular Ford Motorsport GT-40 unit, plus it had a 65mm throttle-body, high-flow iron GT-40 heads and roller rockers. The Cobra packed a Camaro-droping punch, but it also sported a "cleaned-up" nose, side skirts and a raised spoiler. I especially like the Cobra grille insert with running horse, clean side skirts and the SVO-like tail lights. Not surprisingly, clean '93 Cobras fetch big bucks, especially the rare Cobra R models, of which only 107 were built. I'd gladly take any Cobra in any of the three available colors.
2. 2015 Mustang
Like many of you, I impatiently awaited the arrival of the 2015 Mustang—thankfully I love the finished product. The 2015 Mustang will feature a slathering of electronic capabilities and there will be more performance than we've ever seen in a base GT. I'm interested to see the final output figures on the EcoBoost version, but when I buy one it will have a V8. Ford promises the 2015 Mustang will beat the 2012-13 Boss, which makes it an instant winner in my book.
1. 2012-13 Boss 302
Taking the top spot is the 2012-13 Boss 302 Mustang. And it gets the nod for three reasons: styling, engine and all-around performance. The Boss 302 Coyote engine is menacing, packing a 444 hp punch from the factory hot-rodded 5.0 that screams to 7,000 rpm. I love NA power and it has big cams, ported heads and a tuned "tunnel-ram"-style intake. With drag radials and keen powershifts, a Boss will darn near run 11s—put the stock rear rubber back on and go hustle one around any road course with style and grace. Did I mention the sound? Pop out the exhaust baffles and rev out the mill to 7,000 rpm and symphonic goodness will howl from the pipes. Boss 302 Mustangs can also be had in striking colors like Got-To-Have-It Green, Grabber Blue, and Blaze Yellow. If Ford builds a 2016 Boss 302 I'll be the first one in line.

What?! What is this?! A relationship that is...quirky and unusual?! Good god! This webcomic is truly in bold, new territory! Seriously, what is this? How many ways do we have to read about two people who are both in love and nerds? Gosh Randall, it does happen sometimes you know. It's not like you're breaking awesome new ground here by seeing What Would Happen...If Nerds Dated: An Extremely Hypothetical Situation.
Oh also - you already did "false consciousness recognized as such with only mildly amusing results" - check it out: #117. Is it really that different? I posit....no!
I should start a side page just dedicated to a list of Comics Where Quirky People Have Quirky Relationships. Does anyone know how to do that on blogger?
Update: I figured it out all by myself! Go HERE for relationship shit and HERE for programming! hoorah!
More Update: Guys, after reading 248 again I'm beginning to think Randall just programmed a computer to spit out the same few jokes over and over again. And by "jokes" I mean "shitty jokes."
2 comments:
I enjoy this site, though I disagree with many of its points.ReplyDelete
I don't really see how, after reading #390 or #117, one would see that he's getting repetitive (117=colors, pong, technology rising up, etc.; 390=single panel, deals with dreams, short and sweetly effective, fairly creepy; 248 is the most closely related, dealing with interactive consciousnesses inside hypothetical situations--but the relationship side of 429 combined with its demonic ending make it stand apart).
Also, I don't think repetition is necessarily a bad thing; there are many good jokes and new spins to be made on tons of his ideas--some work, some don't appeal to certain people. (And, really, 18 quirky relationship comics out of 716 is hardly "ALL THE FREAKING TIME".) Maybe you'll feel better if you think of it this way: by repeating certain themes, Munroe is just trying to make up for all the atrocious comics he cooks up.
429 is a good, bittersweet comic, combining a quality joke about a guy's own imagination creeping him out with a more serious universal truth.
I honestly believe this isn't something you should be mad about. Love is one of the main themes of xkcd, so I do think that it's one of the things he can draw about. It's quirky because they are quirky people. If it was a comic about different people in love, it'd be about different things. It really isn't the same joke; only the same theme. It's something that I accept, but if you can't understand why certain comics have the same themes, then I can't help you.ReplyDelete
And as for the "false consciousness recognized as such" part, that was, how much? About TWO years ago. I think we can give him some sort of an excuse for remaking a joke (which wasn't even that similar) after two years, since not a lot of people can remember that far back. How YOU did that, I have no idea. Seems like you were just looking for ways to insult xkcd.
Comic 117 was about, first of all, Pong, with a twinge of the Matrix in it. That was the core of the joke. And 429, I believe, is different enough.
And comic 248 is in no way similar to comic 429. Sure, it features an imagination bubble, but that's NOT the point of the joke. You can't say something is similar just because the two features the same things. It feels like you're getting to the point where you'll say xkcd sucks because two comics in a row has stick figures in them.
I really hope this is a troll.

- 2 How To Use SVN
- 3 The Process
- 4 Staging Directories
- 5 Miscellaneous Stuff
Follow Package Guidelines
Package guidelines can be found in the Arch Linux documentation. Please follow them closely.
How To Use SVN
Non-recursive checkout
svn checkout -N svn+ssh://gerolde.archlinux.org/srv/svn-packages
This creates a directory named "svn-packages" which contains nothing. It does, however, know that it is an svn checkout.
Checkout a package
cd svn-packages svn update package-name
This will pull the package you requested into your checkout. From now on, any time you `svn update` at the top level, this will be updated as well.
Updating all packages
cd svn-packages svn update
Adding a package
cd svn-packages mkdir new-package mkdir new-package/{repos,trunk} $EDITOR new-package/trunk/PKGBUILD svn add new-package svn propset svn:keywords "Id" new-package/trunk/PKGBUILD svn commit
Removing a package
ssh gerolde.archlinux.org /arch/db-remove packagename repo-name arch i.e. /arch/db-remove openssh core i686
And if you want to really kill the package, you will need to
svn rm
the entire package directory after the above steps and commit the deletion.
Moving a package between repos
ssh gerolde.archlinux.org /arch/db-move packagename fromrepo torepo arch i.e. /arch/db-move openssh testing core i686
Alternatively, the move from testing is so common we have helper scripts:
/arch/testing2x openssh bzip2 coreutils /arch/testing2x64 openssh bzip2 coreutils
These scripts only work if the packages on the commandline are either in core or extra. If a package is only in testing, you have to use testing2core, testing2core64, testing2extra or testing2extra64.
"Tagging" releases
cd svn-packages/package-name/trunk archrelease extra-i686
This makes an svn copy of the trunk entries in a directory named "extra-i686" indicating that this package is in the extra repository for the i686 architecture. This will be done automatically when using tools such as extrapkg (see below)
Cleaning up your checkout
Since you are now maintaining a non-recursive checkout, you may want to get rid of packages that you are no longer tracking:
svn update package1 package2 --set-depth exclude
Or if you want an empty toplevel again:
svn update --set-depth empty
The Process
Checkout/update your local repository
cd svn-packages svn update
Update the needed package
svn update some-package
Traverse to the package's trunk directory
cd some-package/trunk/
Change and build
$EDITOR PKGBUILD makepkg
It is highly recommended to build your package using a clean chroot
Run namcap on both PKGBUILD and package
namcap PKGBUILD namcap some-package-1.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
Use devtools to upload and commit
This is repo dependent. For 'extra', you use 'extrapkg'. 'testingpkg' for 'testing', etc
extrapkg "A commit message"
Update the repository
This is repo dependent. Use 'db-extra' for [extra]. 'db-testing' for [testing], etc. It will manage both i686 and x86_64 architectures at once, if present. For example:
ssh gerolde.archlinux.org /arch/db-extra
Staging Directories
Staging directories are needed on gerolde.archlinux.org for uploading of packages. The following structure is NOT automatically created. You must do it yourself:
~/staging/ |-- core/ |-- extra/ `-- testing/
These directories are searched by the db scripts to find new packages and those slated for removal.
Miscellaneous Stuff
$Id$ tags are a nice helper for PKGBUILDs and should be added to the top of all PKGBUILDs in a comment. However, svn needs an additional push to know that it should modify this line on checkout.
svn propset svn:keywords "Id" my-package/trunk/PKGBUILD
Package checking tools
Run on both your PKGBUILD and package to check for common packaging problems.
Run (as root) in the directory with your freshly built package to get a file list diff compared with the package version currently in the repos.
Commit messages
Please try to write concise commit messages. If the package is simply an upstream change, that is fine, but if anything more complex changes, please inform us by writing an appropriate commit message.
Avoid having to enter your password all the time
When working with extrapkg and the other devtools, quite a few ssh connections are established, even when using ssh keys and the ssh agent. You can work around that.
Add this to your $HOME/.ssh/config:
ControlPath /home/<your username>/.ssh/master-%h-%p-%r Host gerolde.archlinux.org
Now, before you start working, open a ssh session with
ssh -M gerolde.archlinux.org
Enter your password and leave that session open until you are finished. All ssh sessions (including scp and svn+ssh) will now be tunneled through this connection.

Being labeled the biggest loser in junior high is generally not a good thing.
But for Ryan Martin, a teacher's aide at Glen Crest Middle School in Glen Ellyn, being the "Biggest Loser" is a great thing. Martin dropped 28 pounds over eight weeks to win the School District 89 employee "Biggest Loser" competition in March.
His reward: Bragging rights plus $300 cash and the motivation to stay in shape.
The Glen Ellyn school district is just one employer these days edging employees toward living healthier, leaner lives, and "Biggest Loser" competitions, fashioned after the popular TV show, are one way they're doing it. Corporations are also replacing doughnuts with fruit, offering in-house yoga classes, sponsoring walkathons, building walking paths, sending healthy tips via email, and lowering health insurance premiums for employees who take health screenings.
And, for the most part, employees are eating it up.
Kelly Nordlund, a physical education teacher at Glen Crest, suggested the "Biggest Loser" competition to fellow members of the district's employee wellness committee.
Employees in the district's five schools and administration building had the chance to join in February, knowing the eight-week competition would end just in time for spring break. Sixty-seven of the district's 250 employees paid $15 to take part, which organizers said went toward prizes and helped ensure a true commitment to the program.
Each school formed a team, but individuals weighed in privately with their school nurse each Friday morning. Scores were based on percentage of body weight lost instead of pounds lost. Martin lost 15.1 percent of his weight.
Each member of the wellness committee also took one week to educate the entire district on topics like stress management, exercise, and portion control, so all employees could benefit whether they were participating in the contest or not.
"We've been happy with the outcome and what I found really interesting was that even those who weren't participating appreciated having the educational information," Nordlund said. "We had some people take part not because they needed to lose weight, but because they felt it would give them the incentive to get in better shape."
Now that the eight weeks are over and a total of 500 pounds have been lost, many have chosen to do it all again. "Biggest Loser: The Sequel" started April 1.
Martin said the competition was just enough to spur him into action and move forward on plans to train for a half Ironman competition.
"I've been eating better and watching portion size. Lots of chicken breasts and vegetables," he said.
"I was working out before, but I would eat whatever I wanted. I wasn't gaining, but I wasn't losing despite working out," he said. "It's good to not be in the battle alone. Plus a lot of people at work seem like they are in a better mood since this started."
Employees at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and at Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest are involved in a similar "Win to Lose" competition, said Kim Dwyer, vice president of benefit services at Advocate Health Care.
"Our goal is for people to manage, maintain or improve their health," said Dwyer. "Being healthy is not always about addressing the sickest of the sick. Keeping people aware of their own health status is important. "
Healthy options in vending machines, discounts on fitness equipment and meal planning services, personal health coaches, walking paths around the buildings, and free screenings are all part of the health care company's plan to encourage healthier employees.
"The challenge is finding what resonates with an individual," Dwyer said. "Eighty-three percent of our employees are female, and people in the health industry are in very stressful jobs. A good portion of them go home and then take care of family before themselves," she said. "Making healthy meals, getting exercise is not their highest priority. They are pressured for time."
Dwyer estimates that 15-20 percent of Advocate employees are also smokers, and beginning Jan. 1, employees who fail the tobacco-free test will see a $25 surcharge added to their insurance premiums.
"If they do smoke, we're going to help them quit," she said.
At Alper Services, a Chicago insurance brokerage firm, their 48 employees are gearing up for their spring "Walk the Talk" challenge.
The company's "Biggest Loser" contest ran from Oct. 31 through Jan. 31, timed to help people survive the holidays without the gift of weight gain. About half took part, according to Cindi Elstien, director of people and office operations. Cash incentives and extra vacation days for winners were a big draw.
In Alper's "Walk the Talk" competition, all employees wear company-provided pedometers to track their steps. Competition was fierce last year, said Mary Arola, of Winfield, who placed fourth by logging over one million steps between Aug. 1 and Sept. 23.
Employees also benefit from free flu shots, adult CPR training, fresh fruit in the cafeteria, nutritionist talks, and reduced health-care premiums for those who have a biometric screening.
Arola said the competition encouraged her to lengthen her dog walks, and to skip the bus and walk the 1.25 miles from Ogilvie train station to work, and back again in the evening.
"When you're going home at the end of the day you just want to get there the quickest way possible, but this gave me a kick start and I've kept doing it most of the time," she said. "I wasn't really in it to win it, but it becomes fun when everybody's checking the numbers each week. It motivates you."
Creating that company momentum is important, said Shawn Riegsecker, founder and CEO of Centro, the 2012 winner of the Illinois Healthiest Employers Award in the 100-499 employees category. Centro also recently won Chicago's Best Places to Work award for 2013 from Crain's Chicago Business.
Centro hosted its third annual employee "Wellnesspalooza" last fall, an office event where 75 percent of employees plus 15 spouses or partners opted for free on-site health screenings, healthy eating and drinking seminars, and more, and in return received a 20 percent discount on this year's insurance premium.
"We're a young workforce (median age 28). Lots of times young people think they are invincible," said Riegsecker. "This is a way for them to pay attention. To make sure all of their health ranges are in line."
Roughly 20 to 25 employees take part in twice-weekly yoga classes at the office, a "graze bar" provides healthy snack options such as dried fruit and yogurt, and Riegsecker said he tries to personally set a good example for his employees.
"I'm probably a little bit extreme, actually," he said.
"When it comes to the health of our employees, and I mean the mental, physical and emotional state, I have a belief that companies should exist to do more than make money," he said. "Philosophically, they also exist to create happiness in their employees and the people their employees touch."
When HealthTrack Sports and Wellness in Glen Ellyn first offered clients and staff a "Biggest Loser" contest, they called it the "Biggest Cruiser" contest, rewarding the winner with a cruise voucher. Now the cruise is gone and the competition has been renamed "Mission SlimPossible," said fitness director Deanna Castro.
The current prize: Six months of free dues for the entire family.
HealthTrack's January contest included 63 participants boasting a group loss of 707 pounds.
"The average loss is 10 to 12 pounds in six weeks" she said. "It's a jump-start to feeling better.
"We have found that a key is to have people in teams working toward a goal. The success rate for people to stick it out the full six weeks dramatically increases with teams as compared to individuals," Castro said. "That's part of the appeal of 'Biggest Loser' contests. It's about doing it yourself, but also doing it together."

This portrait of Elijah Arms (1712-1802) was painted in Deerfield, Massachusetts, by William Jennys (active 1793-1807), an itinerant artist who worked in New York and Connecticut before coming to Deerfield around 1801. This portrait has characteristics found in other works of Jennys: painted spandrels define the corners and the sitter's face is brightly illuminated (casting distinct nose shadows and making shiny reflections). Over one hundred portraits by Jennys have been identified. Elijah Arms, who married Naomi Lyman of Northampton in 1774, resided in the settlement of Mill River south of Deerfield's village street.

Clozaril or clozapine, one of first new drugs designed for treating schizophrenia in over 20 years, was introduced in 1975 (1989 in United States) by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and is mostly used in Europe. Symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, blunted affect, and hostility are successfully addressed with this synthesized antipsychotic pharmaceutical, which is also marketed as leponex.
View a second image of crystallized clozaril.
A yellow, crystalline powder that is very slightly soluble in water, clozapine binds to dopamine receptors in the limbic system of the brain of the patient while avoiding extrapyramidal side effects. Dopamine plays a role in a loss of touch with reality, attention deficit disorder (ADD), drug addictions, and moods. Clozaril also is an antagonist to the adrenergic (weight gain, moodiness, arousal, startle response), cholinergic (memory), histaminergic (sleep and weight gain), and serotonergic (depression, anxiety, panic, aggression) receptors of the central nervous system. Thus, the largely genetic illnesses of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are treated via medication by changing the brain's biochemistry. Upon elimination via urine and feces, only trace amounts of the unchanged drug are detectable, with the clozapine being almost completely metabolized. An aminoacridine derivative, clozaril impedes dominant alpha waves and promotes delta and theta activity in the brain.
Clinical trials with Alzheimer's patients show some promise, but there are serious side effects associated with this medication including seizures, blood pressure loss, agranulocytosis (reduced white blood cell count), and accelerated heart rate. Because of the sometimes life-threatening associated risks, including heart inflammation (myocarditis), this antipsychotic is usually only prescribed to severely ill schizophrenics who fail to respond to standard drug therapies. An interesting effect of taking clozaril is that rapid eye movement sleep occurs almost immediately after falling asleep and may occupy almost 85 percent of the total sleep time. Reportedly, clozapine is not addictive nor does the drug create a "high" for the patient. As with any prescription drugs, potential patients and their guardians must consult with their physicians and pharmacists before beginning clozaril therapy and weigh the potential risks against the probable benefits.

John Unitas' importance in pro football history can't be emphasized enough. He was not only one of the game's all-time greatest quarterbacks, but also a central figure in the NFL's rise from relative obscurity to the nation's No. 1 sports obsession.
When Unitas broke in with the Colts in 1956, pro football still lagged behind baseball, boxing and horse racing in the hearts and minds of many sports fans. But a new medium - television - and a small cadre of indelible characters would soon send the NFL hurtling toward the top.
In the corridors of power, there was Pete Rozelle, the boy wonder commissioner who recognized TV's awesome potential.
On the sidelines, there was Vince Lombardi, the jut-jawed coach who molded a dynasty in Green Bay.
And in uniform, there was Unitas, the Baltimore quarterback who made the impossible seem routine.
"He was, in a way, the face of the league as it grew," said Tex Schramm, who worked for the Los Angeles Rams and CBS television in the '50s and was later one of the architects of the Dallas Cowboys' dynasty. "There were a few guys who people looked at and said, 'There's pro football. There's one of the guys who make this game so great.' Johnny Unitas was one of them."
His timing was as perfect as his sideline tosses to his favorite Colts receiver, Raymond Berry. Pro football was just evolving when he arrived, with offenses becoming more sophisticated and exciting as they moved away from the running game and old-fashioned sleight-of-hand trickery and toward the passing game.
"There were guys like Otto Graham and Sammy Baugh who were great passers, but Unitas was really the first, great, unbelievable passing quarterback," Schramm said. "We'd never had anything like that before in the league. His passing was remarkable. He could hit anything. And he did it late in close games. There was just so much drama with Unitas. He was a player that people loved to watch."
People in Baltimore were the ones who loved to watch him the most, of course. The city's major-league papers had just been stamped a few years earlier, with the Colts arriving in 1953 and the Orioles a year later.
"We'd never had anything - anything! - and then this guy just appeared out of nowhere," said sportswriter Frank Deford, who was a Baltimore teenager when Unitas came along. "He was like someone who had come to us from another planet. No one had ever heard of him. We didn't even know how to pronounce his name. We called him 'Uni-tass' at first. But then he was almost immediately this God-like figure, throwing passes and pulling out games. He could do no wrong. He was Robin Hood. It was amazing, wonderful. And it climaxed that day in New York."
The Colts' defeat of the New York Giants in the 1958 championship game at Yankee Stadium was a watershed moment for the NFL, the day the sport arrived at the forefront of the nation's sports awareness. Millions across the country were watching on TV as the Colts rallied to an overtime victory in a taut drama that underlined the pro game's best aspects. Unitas was the star of the show, coolly rescuing the Colts with his passing and courage.
"Unitas had something that you can't exactly put into words - a form of quiet leadership that you don't see much of anymore, and it was never more evident than that day," Schramm said. "As the audience for pro football grew with that game and others that followed, Unitas represented something to the public."
His timing, again, was perfect. He was the game's best quarterback at the precise moment when TV's power and pro football's rising popularity began to create the monster that would one day dwarf all other sports.
It was an epic time for myth-making in America, with the space program taking off and the country turning to a new generation of heroes such as astronauts and football players, who were engaged in "new" endeavors seemingly as fantastic as they were dangerous. Unitas became a fixture on that dramatic landscape.
The irony, of course, was that he was as old-fashioned as they came, a classic American underdog, hunch-shouldered, buzz-cut, sparing with words; willing to stay in the pocket and take a fearful beating as long as it meant he'd win. Reared in the blue-collar hills of Western Pennsylvania, he had been ignored and disdained before coming to the Colts as a graduate of a semi-pro league.
"I saw him three or four years ago, and he was all beat up," Deford said. "He paid for all those years of staying in the pocket. But, oh, was he gutsy. On top of everything else, his great skill, you will never find a gutsier athlete."
He lived long enough to see his sport become a multi-billion dollar industry, an ultra-modern mega-game.
"His time was just a little bit before the wave [of popularity] really broke for the NFL," Deford said. "There was more [adulation] for, say, Joe Montana, who was a generation later. But people in the East knew about Unitas. People in New York certainly did.
There's a great appreciation now for how good he was. He was right on the cusp of it all as he played. It started with him, it really did."

Source code: Lib/smtplib.py
The smtplib module defines an SMTP client session object that can be used to send mail to any Internet machine with an SMTP or ESMTP listener daemon. For details of SMTP and ESMTP operation, consult RFC 821 (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and RFC 1869 (SMTP Service Extensions).
A SMTP instance encapsulates an SMTP connection. It has methods that support a full repertoire of SMTP and ESMTP operations. If the optional host and port parameters are given, the SMTP connect() method is called with those parameters during initialization. An SMTPConnectError is raised if the specified host doesn't respond correctly. The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used).
For normal use, you should only require the initialization/connect, sendmail(), and quit() methods. An example is included below.
A SMTP_SSL instance behaves exactly the same as instances of SMTP. SMTP_SSL should be used for situations where SSL is required from the beginning of the connection and using starttls() is not appropriate. If host is not specified, the local host is used. If port is zero, the standard SMTP-over-SSL port (465) is used. keyfile and certfile are also optional, and can contain a PEM formatted private key and certificate chain file for the SSL connection. The optional timeout parameter specifies a timeout in seconds for blocking operations like the connection attempt (if not specified, the global default timeout setting will be used).
The LMTP protocol, which is very similar to ESMTP, is heavily based on the standard SMTP client. It's common to use Unix sockets for LMTP, so our connect() method must support that as well as a regular host:port server. To specify a Unix socket, you must use an absolute path for host, starting with a '/'.
Authentication is supported, using the regular SMTP mechanism. When using a Unix socket, LMTP generally don't support or require any authentication, but your mileage might vary.
A nice selection of exceptions is defined as well:
Base exception class for all exceptions raised by this module.
This exception is raised when the server unexpectedly disconnects, or when an attempt is made to use the SMTP instance before connecting it to a server.
Base class for all exceptions that include an SMTP error code. These exceptions are generated in some instances when the SMTP server returns an error code. The error code is stored in the smtp_code attribute of the error, and the smtp_error attribute is set to the error message.
Sender address refused. In addition to the attributes set by on all SMTPResponseException exceptions, this sets 'sender' to the string that the SMTP server refused.
All recipient addresses refused. The errors for each recipient are accessible through the attribute recipients, which is a dictionary of exactly the same sort as SMTP.sendmail() returns.
The SMTP server refused to accept the message data.
Error occurred during establishment of a connection with the server.
The server refused our HELO message.
SMTP authentication went wrong. Most probably the server didn't accept the username/password combination provided.
See also
An SMTP instance has the following methods:
Set the debug output level. A true value for level results in debug messages for connection and for all messages sent to and received from the server.
Connect to a host on a given port. The defaults are to connect to the local host at the standard SMTP port (25). If the hostname ends with a colon (':') followed by a number, that suffix will be stripped off and the number interpreted as the port number to use. This method is automatically invoked by the constructor if a host is specified during instantiation.
Send a command cmd to the server. The optional argument args is simply concatenated to the command, separated by a space.
This returns a 2-tuple composed of a numeric response code and the actual response line (multiline responses are joined into one long line.)
In normal operation it should not be necessary to call this method explicitly. It is used to implement other methods and may be useful for testing private extensions.
If the connection to the server is lost while waiting for the reply, SMTPServerDisconnected will be raised.
Identify yourself to the SMTP server using HELO. The hostname argument defaults to the fully qualified domain name of the local host. The message returned by the server is stored as the helo_resp attribute of the object.
In normal operation it should not be necessary to call this method explicitly. It will be implicitly called by the sendmail() when necessary.
Identify yourself to an ESMTP server using EHLO. The hostname argument defaults to the fully qualified domain name of the local host. Examine the response for ESMTP option and store them for use by has_extn(). Also sets several informational attributes: the message returned by the server is stored as the ehlo_resp attribute, does_esmtp is set to true or false depending on whether the server supports ESMTP, and esmtp_features will be a dictionary containing the names of the SMTP service extensions this server supports, and their parameters (if any).
Unless you wish to use has_extn() before sending mail, it should not be necessary to call this method explicitly. It will be implicitly called by sendmail() when necessary.
This method call ehlo() and or helo() if there has been no previous EHLO or HELO command this session. It tries ESMTP EHLO first.
Return True if name is in the set of SMTP service extensions returned by the server, False otherwise. Case is ignored.
Check the validity of an address on this server using SMTP VRFY. Returns a tuple consisting of code 250 and a full RFC 822 address (including human name) if the user address is valid. Otherwise returns an SMTP error code of 400 or greater and an error string.
Many sites disable SMTP VRFY in order to foil spammers.
Log in on an SMTP server that requires authentication. The arguments are the username and the password to authenticate with. If there has been no previous EHLO or HELO command this session, this method tries ESMTP EHLO first. This method will return normally if the authentication was successful, or may raise the following exceptions:
Put the SMTP connection in TLS (Transport Layer Security) mode. All SMTP commands that follow will be encrypted. You should then call ehlo() again.
If keyfile and certfile are provided, these are passed to the socket module's ssl() function.
If there has been no previous EHLO or HELO command this session, this method tries ESMTP EHLO first.
Send mail. The required arguments are an RFC 822 from-address string, a list of RFC 822 to-address strings (a bare string will be treated as a list with 1 address), and a message string. The caller may pass a list of ESMTP options (such as 8bitmime) to be used in MAIL FROM commands as mail_options. ESMTP options (such as DSN commands) that should be used with all RCPT commands can be passed as rcpt_options. (If you need to use different ESMTP options to different recipients you have to use the low-level methods such as mail(), rcpt() and data() to send the message.)
The from_addr and to_addrs parameters are used to construct the message envelope used by the transport agents. sendmail does not modify the message headers in any way.
msg may be a string containing characters in the ASCII range, or a byte string. A string is encoded to bytes using the ascii codec, and lone \r and \n characters are converted to \r\n characters. A byte string is not modified.
If there has been no previous EHLO or HELO command this session, this method tries ESMTP EHLO first. If the server does ESMTP, message size and each of the specified options will be passed to it (if the option is in the feature set the server advertises). If EHLO fails, HELO will be tried and ESMTP options suppressed.
This method will return normally if the mail is accepted for at least one recipient. Otherwise it will raise an exception. That is, if this method does not raise an exception, then someone should get your mail. If this method does not raise an exception, it returns a dictionary, with one entry for each recipient that was refused. Each entry contains a tuple of the SMTP error code and the accompanying error message sent by the server.
This method may raise the following exceptions:
Unless otherwise noted, the connection will be open even after an exception is raised.
Changed in version 3.2: msg may be a byte string.
This is a convenience method for calling sendmail() with the message represented by an email.message.Message object. The arguments have the same meaning as for sendmail(), except that msg is a Message object.
If from_addr is None or to_addrs is None, send_message fills those arguments with addresses extracted from the headers of msg as specified in RFC 2822: from_addr is set to the Sender field if it is present, and otherwise to the From field. to_adresses combines the values (if any) of the To, Cc, and Bcc fields from msg. If exactly one set of Resent-* headers appear in the message, the regular headers are ignored and the Resent-* headers are used instead. If the message contains more than one set of Resent-* headers, a ValueError is raised, since there is no way to unambiguously detect the most recent set of Resent- headers.
send_message serializes msg using BytesGenerator with \r\n as the linesep, and calls sendmail() to transmit the resulting message. Regardless of the values of from_addr and to_addrs, send_message does not transmit any Bcc or Resent-Bcc headers that may appear in msg.
New in version 3.2.
Terminate the SMTP session and close the connection. Return the result of the SMTP QUIT command.
Low-level methods corresponding to the standard SMTP/ESMTP commands HELP, RSET, NOOP, MAIL, RCPT, and DATA are also supported. Normally these do not need to be called directly, so they are not documented here. For details, consult the module code.
This example prompts the user for addresses needed in the message envelope ('To' and 'From' addresses), and the message to be delivered. Note that the headers to be included with the message must be included in the message as entered; this example doesn't do any processing of the RFC 822 headers. In particular, the 'To' and 'From' addresses must be included in the message headers explicitly.
import smtplib
def prompt(prompt):
return input(prompt).strip()
fromaddr = prompt("From: ")
toaddrs = prompt("To: ").split()
print("Enter message, end with ^D (Unix) or ^Z (Windows):")
# Add the From: and To: headers at the start!
msg = ("From: %s\r\nTo: %s\r\n\r\n"
% (fromaddr, ", ".join(toaddrs)))
while True:
line = input()
except EOFError:
if not line:
msg = msg + line
print("Message length is", len(msg))
server = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
server.sendmail(fromaddr, toaddrs, msg)
In general, you will want to use the email package's features to construct an email message, which you can then send via send_message(); see email: Examples.

Pathfinders Medical Advocates
I am an experienced and well-connected health professional who has moved into the private sector in order to expand my work in patient advocacy. I have been seeing clients intermittently over the last couple of years and am aware that patient advocacy is considered one of the fastest growing new businesses of the decade, so I need to capitalize on this development.
I am located across the street from the Stanford Medical Center and plan to connect with every physician in the area to advertise my availability. I will also advertise in local papers, use social media to market virally, and spread the word through my professional contacts. I hope to create a thriving business for Bay Area patients who are newly diagnosed with a chronic illness and need decision support, information gathering, alternative treatment options, and individual or family counseling.
I need to convey that this is a professional business staffed by medical people but I also want clients to understand that we are a group that provides all kinds of gentle support to patients and their loved ones. We are Western trained but open to alternative forms of healing and we are available to connect with their medical providers and treatment therapists.
The current website is http://www.integrativehealthdecisions.com. We are changing the name of the business as well as the branding as we want to emphasize our professional status so as to appeal more to the more conservative medical establishment.
Colors and tone of logo should convey warmth while still appealing to the business community.

Thankfully the walls around me are single though, so all I get is the typical crap I don't want to know. Like "Oh I need to go shopping" that really gets my eyes popping. Also "I pressed the button damn it. It's this stupid controller's fault I keeping losing, f this f that" yep some real smooth characters near my mat. But there is no moans or groans, at least not the kind indicating pleasurable tones. So that I'm thankful for as already took that thin wall tour.
Maybe some pretty wallpaper will dull the sound and no longer make it be found. Que the spooky music I can hear, maybe they are indicating I should be in fear. Yet I hear a little shout. Maybe I should twist the wall and scope it out. Oh no I'm being struck by the Wall-E, what could this be.
Move to wall street
You'd hear a different beat
When you hear a fart
Consider it wall art
Could get enthralled
With the names that are called
Wall shelves could block the vibration
Of someones castration
Don't cast the first stone walls
Could begin hearing cat calls
Plenty of wall quotes will arise
Not always that wise
Some can be a kicker
Might make a good wall sticker
Others could make the wall street journal
But some aren't fit for a urinal
Maybe some wallpaper as said
Or actual wall paper by ones bed
Would that be like wall tattoos
Wall designs could amuse
Wall clocks could work
Timing when voices lurk
It would give the wall words
Walls might sound like birds
Think I pulled back the curtain wall
Making a wall decal at my stall
Did you like my wall decor
OK I'm done with my wall covering tour
Before I get all walled in or walled up and need a cup. I can say "That bitch better no win"...hmmm guess that would be a sin. Bad enough I can relate that to reality TV, which should be bricked in for no one to see. Guess that's where the dragon part comes into play, as oh that reality TV sure does get the walls pumped up in a fire breathing way. Well today you were all lucky, isn't that just ducky. As you received a wall pass, from my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice wall.

The actual text is very long and not really quotable, but George Eliott wrote something like:
To each of us our life is like a candle placed on a metal surface - all the random scratches seem to form concentric circles around ourselves.
I think that is what a story does, takes the randomness of life and uses it to form a pattern around our characters.

Liberty News
More than 1,000 seniors enjoy picnic at Falwell farm
The sixth annual Senior Picnic was held on Saturday, May 4, at the Bedford County farm of Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. and his wife, Becki.
An estimated 1,200 seniors attended the four-hour event with the theme of "Tiki." Students were treated to free Hawaiian-themed food, free T-shirts, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, games and prizes, mini-golf, funnel cakes, a surf simulator, Ferris wheel rides, and a fireworks display.
Students also had the opportunity to tour the Falwells' home.
Senior Camille Piccirillo said this has been one of her favorite events at Liberty.
"I don't know of any other school where the Chancellor personally opens up his home for a thousand seniors to come to. I had a ton of fun playing games and going on rides. The Falwells' hospitality was incredible," she said.
The event was organized by Liberty's Student Activities team.
"The Senior Picnic provides a great way to congratulate graduating seniors on all of their hard work," said Chris Misiano, director of Campus Recreation. "Student Activities loves bringing students together, and this event is a great way to cap off the year."
