Hey umm
Yeah weird problem. I don't know if I'm the only person having this problem and I'm guessing you have some power on this wikia (your names on the front page) but when I look up anything at all (celebi, ash ketchum, may, dawn, etc) in the regular search bar nothing comes up. If I go throught the recent wikia history and click on a page it takes me to it, but if I type it in to look it up nothing comes up. You think it's a problem or just me?

Hi I'm Funnyguy18!Funnyguy18 20:05, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah it works now, must've been a glitch yesterday but thanks anyway lol Lvdoomien 03:48, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I added a picture to Mikey but it didn't work out well. Can you fix it? Thanks! Puffle23 21:34, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Redirects
OK. Give me a list of pages with this problem. I'll see what I can do.

Well I just started the 5-part Clair arc and the last episode is tomorrow. How about something like this:
[[JE138: Better Eight Than Never|Better Eight Than Never]]
How's that?
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 01:15, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
That's what I've been doing. Well for the episode articles I make at least, and for episodes dubbed in English anyway. But I guess I'll explain it to the newbies. I kinda feel like Hstar now.
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 10:19, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
Like this?: JE138: Better Eight Than Never
Oh and Trainer Micah's grandpa passed away and he won't be on for at least 5 days.
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 14:41, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
I always make it code first then put the title in. Are you saying I have to do what you're suggesting for every episode article published so far?
Also, what are we going to do about the voice actor character galleries? We can't just delete them. What about a separate page for full galleries?
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 10:41, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
Hmm, maybe it should be just major or recurring characters they voice, like Professor Birch or Professor Juniper.
And I see those title redirects are already made, well, for any new ones I make I'll come up with. I have just one more article to make today. After that, no more till May 13, except for the anime debut of Brycen.
If you wanna work on the Lisa Ortiz and Tara Sands articles go right ahead, I saved their full galleries on my userpage.
And out of honesty, what do you think of the articles I came up with so far?
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 11:00, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
Hi there! I'm new here, just saying hi. {{SUBST:User:ZeypherMage7/Sig2}} 07:31, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

I have a request to join Project Anime. I have support from WinxFan1 as you can see here. Thanks!--Yugimuto1 20:47, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Rush Job
I just had a serious rush job. Two months worth of dub titles and redirects have just been made.
Also, About your User of the Month poll. The poll says it's for April when it's May. Can you fix this please?
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 11:55, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
All right. And In case I win, I've never been User of the Month. What do I do?
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 18:19, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. BTW, Why change the pic for the BW063 article. I thought all Gym Battle articles had to have a pic of the Gym Leader Ash is facing.

Walkthrough Project
Hi Crimson.. Can I sign-up for the Walkthrough Project in the Ruby and Sapphire.. Can I ask you something about the 1 month in this wiki. I made my account this march and now it's april.. so that's already 1 month right? I hope that you'll reply ...
Chat Policy
Does this "Chat policy" of having less than 25 edits apply to the forums as well? --Thenewguy34 22:40, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
- No, the 25 edit requirement to be in chat does not affect the forums. Anyone can edit the Forums so long as comments aren't hostile to another user, spam or vandalism, et cetera. — Wattz2000 11:44, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for not formatting my suggestion right. Just to let you know. I did that on purpouse so it did not actually become a real poll. Yugimuto1 17:16, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
- The poll has to be in the same format as the other ones. I'll be changing it so that it's in the correct format. Jäzzi 19:15, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
My bot admin request
Wondering what we should do since it has two supports and no opposes but like... images need to be deleted and I don't want to flood the RC. Jazzi 19:20, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Chrimsonnavy,
It's Trainer Micah on your vote page for the user's can i vote for the user's "Winxfan1" & "Aquatic Wartortile"?

One contributer edited an IL page although they are not allowed. I told them that so that person knows better next time.Yugimuto1 20:36, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
Help!!! I can't make a user blog
Just only go to your user page then go to blogs, then select create a blog. If you already do that, report it to other admins for help. Don't forget to put "Job Bautista 02:32, May 15, 2012 (UTC)" after you post!
I hope I help you! Job Bautista 02:32, May 15, 2012 (UTC) A_job09
Chat updates
Hi, Crimson! As you may have heard, there are new chat updates to [[Special:Chat]]. With these new updates, there are new MediaWiki pages that need to be revamped in a Pokémon-esque style similar to that of our older pages. Of course, some of these won't have to be edited, but I would suggest editing [[MediaWiki:Chat-welcome-message|the welcome message]] indefinitely to warn users of the [[Project:Special:Chat|25 edit requirement]] people seem to never notice. : /. In addition to the inline alerts and messages, there are several new changes to the chat sidebar and tools (ban, PM's, talk page, et cetera). A list of the new pages can be found below: {|class="collapsible collapsed" style="width:100%; text-align:left;" ! Page listing |- | * [[MediaWiki:Chat-you-were-kicked]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-you-were-banned]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-you-are-banned-text]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-you-are-banned]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-whos-here]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-was-kicked]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-was-unbanned]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-welcome-message]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-ban]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-contribs]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-give-chat-mod]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-kick]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-message-wall]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-private]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-private-allow]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-private-block]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-private-close]] * [[MediaWiki:Chat-user-menu-talk-page]] |} More messages can be found through Special:AllMessages, and anything else that I missed that might need changing might be in the CC blog. — Wattz2000 11:30, May 11, 2012 (UTC)
- I'll be getting to this in a second. Jazzi 00:43, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
Chatban this user
I've reminded him of our chat policy due to him getting fewer than 25 edits. He chose to ignore me by not talking to me on chat, and although I gave him ample time to edit 25 articles, he still chose not to, so this was the last resort. Thanks if you chat ban him.

Gibie Dude
Hi, Crimson, (haven't seen ya in awhile), anyways, a user named User:Gibie Dude has no edits, and is on chat and won't leave, even with the edit requirement saying statements like "Admins can't do anything" and so on. We have warned him and he is starting to personally attack us. I think this should go for a block. Ask Shadow ruler and Finnfionnafan321. Thanks. EvanfTalk
- Hello crimson. I want to tell you about something. A guy named Evanf kept threatening me in chat. He called me a gaywad, a freak, a n00b, and told me to die. Please help thanks.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Gibie Dude (talk • contribs)

I created an episode a few days ago. It was AG034: Having A Wailord Of A Time!
What'll we do?
You're already aware about Black and White Season 2 right, and the air date is June 21st? So do we make a new season page and update the episode guide now or wait till the air date?
Signed, Winxfan1. I am the ultimate fan of Winx Club 00:05, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
All right. We'll also wait for what June 21st episode is.

Lots of the admins on this wiki don't even edit mainspace edits much. Like: Jazzi. There some non admins here who recently are making more edits than she is. And Hstar is gone bro! I just want this wiki the same way it was back in summer. Maybe demote Hstar and add a more active user. With Flames so hot they're Blue! 01:21, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- First off, I mentioned on your talk page that I had a medical reason. Next, I have a reason why I don't edit mainspace as much as I do other wikis, I work in cleaning up after vandalism and keeping site-related things in order. Thirdly, next time you want to complain about the inactivity of one user, you should check their past to see when they go inactive and see if they warn. Because I always warn when I know that I'm going to go inactive. Jazzi 20:41, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
- I know you are not inactive Jazzi. I was talking about Hstar. I just said you needed to work on your attendance. Now I know that something when on and I already said sorry 3 times. With Flames so hot they're Blue!
Why did you delete my forum thread without even responding to it first? You noted that it was spam in your edit summary but it was a serious question for serious discussion. felinoel 12:27, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- This is also a serious question btw. felinoel 14:26, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
- So... you made an assumption? Interesting. felinoel 03:16, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
Using infobox dungeons on the PMD wiki?
Hey, I'm working on the Mystery Dungeon games here and also on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon wiki. Though it has over 1000 articles, it is lacking severly on Dungeons due to inactivity so I was wandering since Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is a large sub game of Pokemon if we could use the Infobox Dungeon template over on that wiki?
Thanks! Kalkaliy 21:14, May 21, 2012 (UTC)Kalkaliy
Hey Crimson! I just have a question. Why are there no blogs on this wiki? I noticed that a while ago, and I'm just wondering why we don't have any. Finnfionnafan321 22:00, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Hi, blogs were disabled on this wiki per this forum. — Wattz2000 22:03, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the information. Finnfionnafan321 18:35, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
This anonymous contributor, please, for disregarding multiple warnings not to insert false information into articles, which he has continuously done. — ChaosVoid 10:20,5/22/2012
Hey, I apologize greatly for my inactivity. I had an medical emergency and had I known about it I would've told you. It was something I wasn't even expecting. Jazzi 20:41, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. I was banned from chat for not having 25 edits, but I have over 25 edits now. Please un-ban me, and thank-you!

Hello again. I have to ask why do I delete them? They are leaked information. If you want me to delete them, I will do so. Can you help me add these to the Club Penguin Wiki (my page)?
I don't know how to delete them...
You may stop now. I uploaded the pics to the other wiki. Thanks!

Can you warn this person that uploaded an image unrelated to Pokemon like a week ago? Thanks! HedgehogDude 20:04, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
May I be unbanned now? i've been banned for 2 to 3 months....
ShadowJade 00:51, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
Re: Ban
Jazzi banned me first for saying "fec*" in chat, she insta banned me right on the spot for one week. 2 days later after I got unbanned, She bans me again. I wondered why, and she said I "Enjoyed slagging users" when I didn't even know what it meant, I realized it was my rash behavior on my userpage, but why did she have to insta ban again just for that? I got no warnings whatsoever!
I thought Slay was going to give me back my pokemon that he was using... I asked Jazzi to unban be months ago and she ignored me.....You know what? Slay can keep my Pokemon! I'm not even allowed to be on Wikia now! Infact, my computer is getting taken away for the summer, so I don't think i'm coming back. Jazzi reminds me of someone. And I'd perfer you delete this message but breifly mention to her why my message was ignored by her. She always treated me like crap... and I don't care if I get banned now, really. Will it even matter in the end...? ShadowJade 01:07, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
You know what, never mind... i've only got a few days left on this computer anyway. I can't deal with this crap right now... i'll just ask when summer's over.... ShadowJade 01:14, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
Homika's Badge.
Now we have a humoungous problem.
The order of Unova Badges was Trio, Basic, Insect, Bolt, Quake, Jet, Freeze and Legend. But now that Ash is heading to a different final Gym we can't use this: . To make matters worse, We'll have to use homika's Gym Badge as the eighth one and we don't know what it is, much less what it looks like. What'll we do? Signed, Winxfan1.

look I just want to help out I want to get some good pictures okay I really like the pictures ok I also found a picture for BW088
Pokemon Black and White 2
Can you edit the "Pokemon Black and White 2" page? Because, Homika has been confirmed on Serebii, That she, Upon defeat shall give the player the "Toxic Badge", And is the second Gym Leader of the new game. Serebii: "A comic version of the upcoming episode featuring Homika has revealed a few more details. First, the badge earned for defeating the Tachiwaki City Gym Leader Homika is the Toxic Badge. This badge is confirmed to be the same shape as the one seen in the badge case and so confirms that Homika is the second Gym Leader of the game" GalaxyDragon 14:50, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Your avatar
Your picture of Togepi that you are using as your avatar has a moustache. Just thought you should #know.
- My bad, I thought it was perhaps supposed to be an Italian Togepi, as moustaches are popular in Italy. But I was unaware of the existence of Italian Pokemon. I am unfamiliar with evil Togepis. I shall use this Wiki to learn more so as to not embarrass myself further.
Trivia policy
Hey, I saw your edit comment about needing a trivia policy, and I was wondering if I could draft up one, then run it by you? I also run into a bunch of useless trivia, so it would be easy for me to identify what kind of trivia should be included and what shouldn't. — ChaosVoid 04:31,6/2/2012
- Cool, I should have the draft done by Tuesday. I'll tell you when I'm finished and I'll post it in my sandbox that I'll make. — ChaosVoid 12:18,6/3/2012
- Draft is done — ChaosVoid 08:13,6/5/2012

The part about Homika having Freckles is true. Have you seen her pic close up? They're faint but they're there. Plus, know any other Gym Leaders with freckles?
On another note, we'll have to change the pics for BW084 and BW085 for pics of higher quality. Just a suggestion.

Well, is it possible to nominate myself? I've been editing for 1 1/4 years and have +10,000 edits.
I didn't know Virbank City was in the games. I thought it was an anime-only location. Well ok. Let's do it.

Is it true?
So when I was Looking around getting pokemon information, I saw something on Zoura's Page. It said,
"Zoura Evolves into Zoroark at level 30, In White Beta version, it evolved into Zorosteel before Zoroark."
I thought it wasn't true, so I edited it. But.. Is it really fake or did a accidently remove Information? Please tell me!

Zorosteel is REALLY a fake. I looked up "Zorosteel" and there was an "No results found".

Chat requirements
Hey, can you please do it free to the chat requirements? Only the 25-edits requirements. I want it free. I discuss it to the backyard monsters wiki and V.2.0.0b said: People who haven't contributed very much to the wiki have chatted? INSANITY, BLAPHESMY!
It's not like they're going to intentionally make crappy edits just to access the chat, right?

While searching through my apartment after a tragic fire, under soot and ash, I found these "lost" Rothbard lectures, recorded at NYU in 1979 and 1980.
Money and BanksMoney and Banking
Loose monetary policy can appear to work so long as real wealth is expanding. But money expansion weakens wealth creation over time, eventually leading to slower growth, lost wealth, and economic busts.
Economic valuation, as such, is only meaningful when related to the possible employments of an economic good, and such employment can only be carried out by acting human beings.
As Murray Rothbard so rightly put it, minimum wage laws translate into "compulsory unemployment." They don't provide any jobs. They only outlaw them.
Brian Maher of the Daily Reckoning quotes Murray Rothbard and me in his incisive critique of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), which has lately been embraced by proponents of the "Green New Deal."
Marginal tax rates in the 1950s and 1960s don't reflect how much wealthy taxpayers actually paid in taxes. They paid far less than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks.

The presence of the last two letters in the name "Amazon SimpleDB" is perhaps unfortunate; it immediately invokes images of everything we have learned about databases; unless, like me, you cut your teeth on a hierarchical database like IMS, that means relational databases and all of the baggage that comes with them: strictly defined fields, constraints, referential integrity and having most of what you are allowed to do defined and controlled by a DBA -- hardly deserving of being described as simple. To allay any apprehensions even thinking of such things might arouse, let me state that Amazon SimpleDB is not just another relational database. So just what is SimpleDB? The most effective way I have found to understand SimpleDB is to think about it in terms of something else we all use and understand -- a spreadsheet. Look at the spreadsheet in Figure 1.
Typically, you organize spreadsheets into worksheets. In the world of SimpleDB, the approximate counterpart of a spreadsheet is a "domain", which is why I've labeled the tabs at the bottom Domain1, Domain2, etc. instead of more familiar Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.. In a spreadsheet, a worksheet contains a number of rows; SimpleDB has items. When you set up your spreadsheet, you usually create column headers whose names indicate the kind of data that appears in a given column. In SimpleDB, you would call the column headers attribute names.
But when you start putting data into individual cells, the similarity between a spreadsheet and SimpleDB ends. You can almost think of SimpleDB as a 3D spreadsheet, where every cell can contain multiple values. Each such value is expressed as a name-value pair called an "attribute". If you consider sets of attributes as tuples, you could describe SimpleDB as a "domain/item/attribute tuple space model."
Before rolling up your sleeves and getting started with SimpleDB, you will need a pay-as-you-go Amazon Web Services (AWS) account. When you create your account, you will be given an access ID and a secret key. You will need these to use the sample code I present in exploring SimpleDB.
SimpleDB Client Libraries
Interaction between a client and the SimpleDB engine is in the form of a web service. Application programmers prefer not to deal with the low level details of web services but rather to use an API that shields them from the underlying infrastructure and reduces their effort to simply creating instances of Java objects and invoking their methods. There are a number of client libraries that deliver such an API for SimpleDB for the major programming languages. The apparent winner in the Java world appears to be Typica, which provides access to several other Amazon services in addition to SimpleDB. In this article, I use the Java Library for Amazon SimpleDB from Amazon. This does not imply any endorsement nor should it be construed as a recommendation. It just happens to be the one I first started using. The right library for you will be the one that experimentation proves is the right library for you.
Creating and Listing Domains
CreateDomain.java (available here along with the source code and related files) takes three command line arguments. The first two are the AWS access ID and secret key respectively; the third is the name of the domain to be created. The essence of the program can be found in the following lines of code:
AmazonSimpleDBClient client; client = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(args[0], args[1]); CreateDomainRequest request = new CreateDomainRequest(); request.setDomainName(domainName); CreateDomainResponse response = client.createDomain(request);
The code is so simple that a detailed explanation is unnecessary -- and the good news is that the code I present in this article is almost as easy to understand and use.
Once you have created the domain, you can use ListDomains.java (available here) to obtain a list of all of the domains that have been created for the account. The code is similar to the code we just saw in CreateDomains.java. It creates an instance of AmazonSimpleDB to which it sends a ListDomainsRequest object as an argument. The list of the domains is returned in a ListDomainsResponse object. To reinforce the fact that the response is really an XML message, I displayed the String that was returned when I invoked the ListDomainsResponse object's toXML() method. It looks like this:
<ListDomainsResponse xmlns="http://sdb.amazonaws.com/doc/2007-11-07/"> <ListDomainsResult> <DomainName>TestDomain</DomainName> </ListDomainsResult> <ResponseMetadata> <RequestId>222af594-936b-eef6-caf4-fcee27c9ba66<RequestId> <BoxUsage>0.0000071759</BoxUsage> </ResponseMetadata> </ListDomainsResponse>
Notice that the list of domains (in this case only one) is returned as a collection of <DomainName> nodes, each of which is a child node of the <ListDomainsResult> node. We retrieve the list of domains from the ListDomainsResponse object using the following code:
if (response.isSetListDomainsResult()) { ListDomainsResult listDomainsResult = response.getListDomainsResult(); domainsList = listDomainsResult.getDomainName(); } if (domainsList.isEmpty()) { System.err.println("no domains found"); } else { System.out.println("found the following " + domainsList.size() + " domains:"); for (String domain : domainsList) { System.out.println("\t" + domain); } }
Notice that we do not proceed blindly to get the domain list from the response but first invoke its isSetListDomainsResult() method. The output of the program looks like this:
found the following 1 domains: TestDomain

Product Description
Two great fabrics, the black mesh or the solid vinyl. Both are excellent fabrics and both are very durable. The solid vinyl is $100. more that the black mesh fabric.
The black mesh fabric is most often recommended for older children and teenagers. This fabric allows air to flow through the fabric which gives a somewhat higher bounce than the solid fabric. It will not pool water in the winter. For water bouncing the kids like to put the sprinkler underneath the mesh fabric. The solid vinyl is a great fabric for younger children. They like to put water on this fabric in the summer for water bouncing . It does tend to pool the water in the winter so the mesh is sometimes preferred for this reason. We have two different models in the 10'x14' size. The model #140 has a spring count of (22) on the short side and (35) on the long sides. The #140 mat can also be identified by its cut of corner, called a "dog ear" corner. The model #145 has a spring count of (22) on the short sides and (32) on the long sides. The #145 mat has a square corner. No "dog ear"

12 Things You Might Not Have Learned in a Classroom
by John Taylor Gatto
You won't find "takes honors classes," "gets good grades," or "attends only Ivy League schools" on John Taylor Gatto's list of qualities of an educated person. Gatto taught in New York City schools for 30 years and was named New York State's Teacher of the Year, but his experiences convinced him that what students need is less time in classrooms and more time out in the world. Building character and community, Gatto argues, is more valuable than learning from tired textbooks and rigid lesson plans.
Really educated people ...
Establish an individual set of values but recognize those of the surrounding community and of the various cultures of the world.
Explore their own ancestry, culture, and place.
Are comfortable being alone, yet understand dynamics between people and form healthy relationships.
Accept mortality, knowing that every choice affects the generations to come.
Create new things and find new experiences.
Think for themselves; observe, analyze, and discover truth without relying on the opinions of others.
Favor love, curiosity, reverence, and empathy rather than material wealth.
Choose a vocation that contributes to the common good.
Enjoy a variety of new places and experiences but identify and cherish a place to call home.
Express their own voice with confidence.
Add value to every encounter and every group of which they are a part.
Always ask: "Who am I? Where are my limits? What are my possibilities?"
This list was adapted from John Taylor Gatto latest book, Weapons of Mass Instruction (New Society Publishers, 2009) for Learn as You Go, the Fall 2009 issue of YES! Magazine. Gatto was a New York State Teacher of the Year. An advocate for school reform, his books also include Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling.

Hello My Dearest,
My name is Miss cythia, I came across your contact as i was searching for good friend, A friend who truly understand his or her friend and share their feelings together. please kindly accept my request, I believe that distance can never be a barrier but let's love connect us because love is a bridge that connected far distance to beclose to each other. I will send my pictures to you immediately i receive your reply.(email@example.com)
yours In Love,
I have some contacts in Georgia if you need a good referral to the right lawyer...
Hi, just saw your message. I'm not familiar with this thing! I guess this is where I respond to you. I'm almost in FL. Would like to meet others, but don't travel much. DO go to Atl. occas. to see grandchildren, however.
Hi vjls, Saw your post today about being able to wiggle your toes and move your foot. That is pretty exciting news because that means signals are getting down to your feet, past your injury. My son works out at Project Walk and I have met lots of folks who come in with those capabilites and really improve. Do you currently work out? Just wanted to encourage you. A man came in 10 years post in a power chair, has been there 3 years and now is using a walker. Thanks for listening and hope you have a great week.

I saw your post on having a colostomy. I am a c/7 quad, female, who has been fighting bowel problems for 15 years. I have been injured 17. I had an antegrade colonic enema proceedure done in 2001 that didn't help, I spend anywhere from 2-8 hours daily on bowel care. I have sensation and feel pressure and pain in my abdomen all the time I have spoken to a colon-rectal surgeon and he thinks my life would be much easier with a colostomy; my fear is that it will gross me out! As a quad with a body image problem anyway (big gut) I am vain. I know this is silly since we as SCI survivors have to deal with things we never dreamed of; I am sure this too will become second nature. Would you mind giving me a little information about your experiences. I am reaching out to another woman; because men are strange birds--and don't have the same emotional hang-ups that we have. Oh yeah, I am married and my husband has no problems with my decision either way. Thanka for your time
It's not sold .
It does it all, tilt, recline, stand....
I'll call you this evening when I get off work.
Perhaps returning to your Occupational therapist to evaluate you for some resting hand splints to be worn at night? I see many whose hands constantly cause probs. I would encourage you to see your OT, eval for appropriateness for splints.... hopefully get them fabricated, re-start a comprehensive finger range of motion program, and if appropriate check out e-stim or neuro-muscular electrical stim, and seek funding ( if appropriate for device). Good luck, Pam OTR/L

- posted 10 years ago
Tonight,in celebration of a major research discovery, I cooked some venison steaks and went down to the cellar for a Bambi wine, coming back with:
1995 Chapoutier Cornas nose: initially, simple blueberry fruit, later developing green olive notes palate: medium body, high acidity, smooth tannins, very simple initially, later losing most of its fruit while taking on a green olive character
This wine was purchased lo those many years ago, back before I'd discovered this group in fact, when I still put faith in the pronoucements of the Pope of Monkton. Since then, I've learned that Chapoutier's wines from that era are not held in high esteem by all who love the wines of the N Rhone, so it was with some trepidation that I opened this bottle. For the first 30 minutes, it was impossible to identify the wine as a N Rhone Syrah, let alone a Cornas. Later, the olive character began to proclaim its origins, but at the same time I noticed a loss of fruit. In the end, this wine might improve over the next 1-2 years, but I wouldn't hold it much longer than that, as there are signs that it may begin fading soon, too. In his review of this wine, RMP was very positive and forecast a lifetime until 2016. Unless your cellar is colder than mine or you won't miss the fruit, I think that that prediction is overly optimistic. In addition, I never got a sense of Cornasness from this wine, as I do/did with the wines of Verset and Clape.

I'm Back! I'm Back!
I've been gone for nearly a year, with no new posts, no updates.. And I know I let a lot of my readers down. But I have been through so much in the time I spent away, and I would love to shed some light on my reasons for being away for so long..
The first being, that I had to start working. My husband lost his job and we had to do something quickly to cover the bills.. so I started working, and spent less time blogging..
And then, disaster hit.. My son (less than one year old at the time) fell into the pool at his grandpas house and nearly didn't make it.. My life fell apart, and my baby was in the hospital for 13 days (including the day of his birthday)... He made a miracle recovery though, and you can find his story on CBS. - Miracle Baby Survives after Near Drowning
I was unable to function after his accident, I stopped liking my job, I stopped interacting with my family and the only person I could think about was my precious baby.. I blamed everyone for his accident and couldn't help but feel angry.. But after months of recovery and having a loving family to support me through the hard times, I came back around.. I started enjoying my life again and stopped living in the terrors and nightmares, I finally started living again.
And now things are better than EVER! I am pregnant again! Another little boy! Due September 20th, and his name is Nathaniel Alexander. My babies are the light of my life, and I'm now a stay-at-home mommy with plenty of time to do one of the things I love doing the most... Blogging!
I can't wait to meet new bloggers, work with more companys, and share so many good things with moms everywhere!
I hope to hear from all of you! Please share your blogs in comments via this post, I would love to get to know more bloggers and share more exciting posts!

Aleksandr Yakovlevich Khinchin's father was an engineer. Khinchin attended the technical high school in Moscow where he became fascinated by mathematics. However mathematics was certainly not his only interest when he was at secondary school for he also had a passionate love of poetry and of the theatre. He completed his secondary education in 1911 and entered the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Moscow University in that year.
At university in Moscow Khinchin worked with Luzin and others. He was an outstanding student being particularly interested in the metric theory of functions and before he graduated in 1916 he had already written his first paper on a generalisation of the Denjoy integral. This first paper began a series of publications by Khinchin on properties of functions which are retained after deleting a set of density zero at a given point. He summarised his contributions to this area with the paper Recherches sur la structure des fonctions mesurables Ⓣ in Fundamanta mathematica in 1927.
After graduating in 1916, Khinchin remained at Moscow University undertaking research for his dissertation which would allow him to become a university teacher. After a couple of years he began teaching in a number of different colleges both in Moscow and Ivanovo. The town of Ivanovo, east of Moscow, was a centre for the textile industry and it plays a surprisingly important part in the development of Russian mathematics with several of the major figures teaching in the town.
Around 1922 Khinchin took up new mathematical interests when he began to study the theory of numbers and probability theory. In the following year he strengthened results of Hardy and Littlewood with his introduction of the iterated logarithm published in Mathematische Zeitschrift. With these ideas he also strengthened the law of large numbers due to Borel.
In 1927 Khinchin was appointed as a professor at Moscow University and, in the same year, he published Basic laws of probability theory. Between 1932 and 1934 he laid the foundations for the theory of stationary random processes culminating in a major paper in Mathematische Annalen in 1934. Khinchin left Moscow in 1935 to spend two years at Saratov University but returned to Moscow University in 1937 to continue his role of building the school of probability theory there in partnership with Kolmogorov and others, including in particular their student Gnedenko. From the 1940s his work changed direction again and this time he became interested in the theory of statistical mechanics. In the last few years of his life his interests turned to developing Shannon's ideas on information theory.
We shall look at some of Khinchin's major publications and in this way get a feel for the large number of important contributions he made in a remarkably large range of topics. Some of these publications we have already mentioned in the brief description of his career which we gave above.
Khinchin first published the book Continued Fractions in 1936 with a second edition being published in 1949. The book consists of three chapters, the first two of which present the classical theory of continued fractions. The third chapter, the longest and most important, contains an account of Khinchin's own contributions to the topic of the metrical theory of Diophantine approximations. Another contribution by Khinchin to number theory is the short book Three pearls of number theory which appeared in an English translation in 1952.
The book Eight lectures on mathematical analysis by Khinchin ran to several editions. It was first published in 1943 and the eight lectures it contains are: Continuum; Limits; Functions; Series; Derivative; Integral; Series expansions of functions; and Differential equations. The book was designed to be used to supplement a standard course on the calculus and gives a careful treatment of some of the basic notions of mathematical analysis. Ivanov, reviewing the fourth edition, wrote:-
The presentation is smooth, elegant and interesting and makes very enjoyable reading ...Khinchin published Mathematical Principles of Statistical Mechanics in 1943. It showed how to make classical statistical mechanics into a mathematically rigorous subject, developing a consistent presentation of the topic. In 1951 he extended the work of this 1943 book when he published Mathematical foundations of quantum statistics. This new publication on the topic appeared in a German translation in 1956 and then in an English translation in 1960. The book was written in such a way as to be useful both to mathematicians who wanted to become better acquainted with some applications of analysis to physics, and also to physicists who wanted to understand more about the mathematical foundations for their subject. Topics covered included: local limit theorems for sums of identically distributed random variables; the foundations of quantum mechanics; general principles of quantum statistics; the foundations of the statistics of photons; entropy; and the second law of thermodynamics. The book has been rated as being equal in quality to von Neumann's masterpiece Mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics.
Khinchin's book Mathematical Foundations of Information Theory, translated into English from the original Russian in 1957, is important. It consists of English translations of two articles: The entropy concept in probability theory and On the basic theorems of information theory which were both published earlier in Russian. The second of these articles provides a refinement of Shannon's concepts of the capacity of a noisy channel and the entropy of a source. Khinchin generalised some of Shannon's results in this book which was written in an elementary style yet gave a comprehensive account with full details of all the results.
In [6] Gnedenko, who was a student of Khinchin, lists 151 publications by Khinchin on the mathematical theory of probability (the list is given again in [4]).
Among the many honours which Khinchin received for his work was election to the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1939 and the award of a State Prize for scientific achievements in the following year.
Vere-Jones writes [9]:-
Khinchin was a fascinating figure ..., not least because of his early enthusiasms for poetry and acting, and his links with such figures of the revolution as the poet Mayakovsky and members of the Moscow Arts Theatre.

McGraw alone can't rein in unruly 'Flicka'
Flicka: Drama. Starring Tim McGraw, Maria Bello, Alison Lohman and Ryan Kwanten. Directed by Michael Mayer. (PG. 94 minutes. At Bay Area theaters.)
Tim McGraw would make a good Cartwright. He's definitely got an Adam thing going in the movie "Flicka," and maybe on his best day he could fill Ben's shoes on the Ponderosa.
Unfortunately, the rest of the movie doesn't come close to the "Bonanza" standard. There are some nice moments and beautiful scenery, but the film is often slow and the dialogue is overwrought. And the apparent lesson of the movie? Keep disobeying your parents and you'll eventually get your way.
"Flicka" isn't a bad movie, but it's still a disappointment for parents who might be hoping for some exceptional American-made family entertainment this year. Films aimed at the 12-year-old female demographic come around only once or twice a year, so you always want them to be better than mediocre.
The movie takes only the basic elements from the 1940 Mary O'Hara book "My Friend Flicka," about a 10-year-old boy in the 1930s who raises a temperamental brown colt and earns the respect of his father. The book also spawned a hugely successful 1943 movie, starring a young Roddy McDowall.
"Flicka" is about a rebellious 21st century teen named Katy (Alison Lohman), who finds a temperamental black mustang and spends 95 percent of the movie doing the exact opposite of what her father tells her -- endangering herself, her family and especially the horse. Her father (McGraw) is cast as kind of a heavy, but most responsible adults will see him as the only voice of reason in the film.
McGraw, who revealed flashes of potential in the "Friday Night Lights" movie, is strong in the same way that Kurt Russell stands out in Disney movies. Maria Bello (a long way from "Coyote Ugly") as his optimistic wife doesn't fare quite as well, mostly because a large portion of the movie's over-the-top dialogue ("When are you going to look at your daughter and realize she's you!") is heaped upon her character. Lohman, 27 in real life, is almost old enough to be the mother of the 16-year-old character she's playing, but she pulls it off.
The biggest problem in the first half of "Flicka" is the excessively thunderous score, which seems to be overcompensating for the movie not going much of anywhere. The second half becomes increasingly ridiculous, especially when the centerpiece action scene gallops by in a confusing blur.
The best parts of the movie are the less chaotic moments, when the family is around the dinner table having a good time, or when director Michael Mayer spends a minute or two capturing a cluster of horses running through the beautiful Wyoming countryside.
You'll half expect one of the "Brokeback Mountain" guys to walk up to the ranch, but then reality hits: "Flicka" isn't anywhere close to an Oscar-caliber movie.
-- Advisory: Besides being a 94-minute lesson in insubordination, this film contains strong language, animals in peril and a scene where Lohman's character is bathing and you can kind of see the side of her right breast.

Video: Butter-Poached Dishwasher Lobster with The Sporkful and Food Curated
We love a good cooking hack (or six) around these parts. So when Dan Pashman, the man behind The Sporkful podcast (and noted tortilla chip innovator), and Liza de Guia, the filmmaker behind Food. Curated, got together in Pashman's kitchen for a little dishwasher cooking action, we put down our sandwiches and took notice.
With the aid simple of Ball jars, sous vide bags, and tinfoil, the intrepid duo cooks everything from Korean beef bulgogi to s'mores in a dishwasher on heavy-duty mode, which tops out at 140 degrees. Not everything is a success (de Guia estimates that "less than 25% of our total attempts were actually edible"), but the butter-poached lobster, a take on Thomas Keller's classic recipe, looks pretty decent! Check it out in the video below, and if you're planning to try this one at home, here's everything you need to know about buying a lobster.

Are there any common actions that user have to do after installing new hardware? Is Ubuntu makes some hardware-dependent adjustments during installation (except generation of
/etc/fstab file), that user should do when changing any device, like motherboard, graphic card or other? Methods of detection hardware in Ubuntu is not clear for me. What I can read about it?
I have not real problems right now, but I would like to know what to do when it happen.
(PS: Do you understand me? :-) I am not a native english speaker and it is my first experience, please comment my mistakes :-)

New Content
This update is intended to add some flavor to the world and make it feel a bit more lively. We've added several new creatures to the upper parts of the world, particularly on the surface of the far side of the planet as well as relatively shallow underground. We've also added some new areas to explore (and a new boss) that are related to the new creatures. You will need to generate a new world from the sandbox menu or create a new character to see much of the new content.
Here are a couple of the new creatures:
Story Content
In addition to the new creatures and related content, we added a bit of story content and changed some of the existing progression a bit. We added a new button on the Pioneer Station comm device (the device that requires the battery on the top floor) and there is a new satellite dish on top of the Pioneer station, but it seems to be missing a component…
We also changed the method of obtaining the Level 2 keycard upgrade – The upgrade device is now found in [spoiler]the captain's room in the Pioneer Station barracks.[/spoiler] This update is fairly light on the direct story content, but the next update should expand on the story and the mysteries of the planet quite a bit.
Food/Cooking Changes
We re-worked the cooking/food system quite a bit. Prior to this update only a handful of food items had buffs associated with them, but in this update we've added buff effects to most of the foods. All fruits, mushrooms and meats now have buffs that you can get by eating them. In previous versions, you've been able to cook food by using the crafting menu, but now cooking is done similar to how ore is processed. We've added pop-up menu when you right click the campfire, and you can both cook food and process ores in the same devices.
The campfire has just one slot for ingredients, but the brick oven and advanced smelter both have 2 slots, which allows you to combine some food items to create new recipes. For example, a Juicy Fruit will give you a heal over time and a sporepod mushroom will temporarily increase your max health. Both items will fill 1/4th of your stomach, but if you cook them together you can make a food item that will give you both buffs and still just fill 1/4th of your stomach. You can also cook a fruit with a plant fiber to make Fruit Chews, which give you longer lasting buffs that fill less of your stomach.
Other Content
Some of the new creatures can inflict a bleed status effect on you, so we added Primitive Bandages (can be made with plant fiber) and Cloth Bandages that can stop the bleeding status. In addition, you can add some medicinal herbs to the cloth bandage in order to make a Poultice Bandage that heals you.

- Poison Trap – 6x Makeshift Scrap, 3x Logs, 8x Bones
- Snare Trap – 6x Makeshift Scrap, 3x Logs, 3x Bones
Recipe Changes
- All gem upgrade recipes require 2 instead of 3 gems. We will probably eventually change this back once we have more sources for gems in the world.
New Status Effects
Most of these new status effects are currently attached to various food items.
- Increased Jump Height
- Light Aura – Generates light around the player
- Increased Max Energy
- Increased Max Health
- Increased Melee Damage
- Protection – Reduces damage from all sources
- Resist bleed – reduces duration and severity of bleeding
- Increased Strange Tablet Damage – Increases the damage of all abilities used through the Strange Tablet device
- Reduced Strange Energy Requirement – Reduces required strange energy for Strange Tablet abilities
- Improved Dodge – Dodge roll or backjump further than normal
- Bleeding – Slow damage over time, which can be cured by using a bandage. Inflicted by blow darts.
- Spore Poison & Vulnerability – Increases damage from all sources
Misc Fixes
- Fixed some issues where certain sounds would play at full volume regardless of distance. Let us know if you notice any other sound fx that seem too loud.
- Changed the projectile attack of the golems. Instead of throwing rocks, they now use some kind of sufficiently advanced technology to levitate materials out of the ground and fling them at players
- Fixed some issues that would cause certain tooltips to not appear when they should.
Known Issues:
- The world generator may get stuck while generating worlds. We think we've fixed all the cases where this can happen, but we can't be completely sure that there are no more lingering issues. If you run into this issue, definitely let us know.
This update adds quite a bit of new bits of content and changes, so let us know if you run into any issues and we'll fix them ASAP. As always, we encourage any feedback you folks have about the new content (or any old content). We love hearing from you, so don't be shy =)
