Desider (Dezso) Nemeth
Born: June 8, 1899
Szentes, Hungary
Desider and his sisters, Margit and Barbara, were born to a middle-class Jewish family. They lived in Szentes, a town in southeastern Hungary, located 30 miles from the city of Szeged. Desider had a dental practice in Szentes. He married Barbara Kertesz, who came from the neighboring town of Hodmezovasarhely.
1933-39: We now have a baby daughter, Maria. I have a busy practice and my patients come from all walks of life. I'm glad that I opened my practice in the town where I was born because my friends and family are here, and I enjoy working in my own community. My wife has found us a house that doubles as my office.
1940-44: It's been five months since German troops occupied Hungary in March 1944. My family and I were among thousands of Jews deported to a makeshift ghetto in Szeged's Rokus sports field and brickyards. Most of the people there were children, the elderly and women. Then, a month ago, we were sent by train, via the Strasshof labor camp, to a labor camp in the farming village of Goestling an der Ybbs, located in eastern Austria.
In April 1945 Desider and his family were shot to death in Goestling an der Ybbs by retreating SS soldiers, just days before U.S. forces reached the area. Desider was 46.

Google WiFi Data Caught In Legal Limbo
from the can't-destroy,-can't-share,-can't-have dept
So... Google can't collect this data, but it can't delete the data it accidentally collected. Regulators want to see the data to see if it's okay for Google to delete it, but they can't see it, because that would violate privacy regulations. But, regulators feel they need to see it, to see if Google violated privacy regulations. So, basically everyone's stuck in a state of limbo.

How to partition new HD for XP and Puppy?
I have a 120GB hard drive that I would like to partition for:
- frugal install of Puppy 4.3.0 retro
- XP (yes, I know, but I need it for some things)
- data to be shared between Puppy and XP
The drive was bare; I ran fdisk (dos command) and format /s (also dos) so it is basically accessable by Windows. It currently has two partitions: 112 GB boot and 7GB unallocated. I know I can change these to whatever I need thru gparted.
My questions are:
- how many partitions do I need
- how big should they be
- what formats to choose
I am currently running Puppy 4.3.0 retro from live CD on a Thinkpad 600X Pentium III with 450 MB memory.
Thanks for your advice!

Sara, you having 450MB memory there is no real need to use full install unless you are very fond of full install and want to learn how such works using puppy or something. Frugal install on the WinXP partition will do just fine and will allow you to test other puppies within a few minutes even doing manually and without any problem and you get more people here in the forum that would know how to do things while if you ask about full install fewer are active daily to answer questions. At least that is my experience here since a year or so.
But it could be good to have a partition for test of other linux distros to compare puppy with. So many here can advice on that but 450MB RAM is enough to work with puppy in frugal install.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

My daughters complained that their Windows XP partitions were adversely affected by a frugal install of Puppy. It may be just because the XP (NTFS) partitions weren't defragged first or some such thing that I never have to think about with Linux partitions, but I would hesitate to put Puppy files on an NTFS partition. I have an XP laptop on which I boot Puppy from a CD and save to a flash drive; this would probably give satisfactory performance if you didn't have a Linux hard-drive partition, but the Linux HD partition would be best (that's what I use on my desktop computer, which has never had Windows on it).
It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.

I will not see this anti ntfs claptrap appear here on the Puppy forum like it does on the Knoppix forum.
Many of us use Puppy files for a frugal install on an ntfs partition. They are nothing special they are just files. I use Windows to create them from the iso. The save file could potentially be a problem as it is created with Puppy but I have never had a problem with it. Once it is created then no further problem is likely. Internally it is an ext/ext3 format so Puppy can do what it likes to it internally and it just appears as a file to ntfs.
Some people in Knoppix land seem concerned about writing to ntfs from Linux. My experience is that the risk of Puppy messing up NTFS is less than the risk of Windows messing up NTFS - which nobody seems to mention, despite the fact it happens.
pa_mcclamrock - are your daughters experts on diagnosing faults? How were the Windows XP partitions adversely affected? What is the evidence for Puppy being the cause?
If you are coming from Windows and want to add Linux and you are a newbie then I think, after using a CD and flash for the pupsave, the next safest option is a frugal on the ntfs partition. Newbies DO run into problems creating Linux partitions on Windows. They also run into problems creating a bootloader than installs on the MBR. You are probably a Linux expert and can sort yourself out. Newbies are not and take a very bad impression of Linux if they mess up their Windows install because of creating partitions or mangling the MBR.
To get back to the original question.
To share data between Linux and Windows you COULD use just one big NTFS partition. As Windows cannot see a Linux partition without additional software, creating Linux partitions will not solve this. If you fear the writing of data to ntfs from Linux then create a FAT32 partition of a size as big as you need for the common data. Both Windows and Puppy can see and write to an FAT32 partition.
Then do a Lin'N'Win install of Puppy to the NTFS partition or use noryb's Windows Puppy installer.

Considering the apparent status of the OP and the drive . . .
Bare drive - means no risk of data loss.
I didn't think there is Windows.
I think FAT on account of the FORMAT /S command Sara
ran. FAT32 on because of the size of the formatted partition
I accept confidence, because Sara said, "I know I can change these
to whatever I need thru gparted."
I installed XP on a FAT32 for reasons I can explain, if Sara wants.
It seems ideal to have a Linux partition or two for doing things which
can only be done on a Linux filesystem.
It also provides filesystems for people who may want to make some
Linux installs. Sara would know best if she may intend to experiment
with Linux distributions.
It just doesn't appear to me there is even an existent NTFS formatted

How were the Windows XP partitions adversely affected?
Two of my daughters reported that XP wouldn't boot properly, on two different computers,
after Puppy main and save files were installed.
What is the evidence for Puppy being the cause?
That's it.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc
doesn't actually prove anything, but it does impress my daughters unfavorably enough that they don't want to see any more Puppy files on their NTFS partitions--and it does suggest that, under some circumstances, there
be a cause-and-effect relationship between installation of Puppy files on NTFS partitions and subsequent misbehavior of Windows. If this is "anti-NTFS claptrap," so be it.
I prefer to save to a VFAT partition on a flash drive, when using Puppy on the XP laptop, rather than take a chance of finding out the hard way that the "claptrap" isn't claptrap after all.
It's stupid to use inferior software for ideological reasons.

In Puppy's early days, it was considered unsafe to mount an NTFS
partition read/write.
At that time, it
was unsafe
because the ntfs drivers were not well
In order to run Puppy on an NTFS partition, we mounted it read only.
Even the frugal install was a manual procedure, to the extent of
downloading a compressed pupsave file and decompressing it from
within Windows.
Things have greatly improved since then. But as recently as my
using Puppy 4.00, I read where ntfs-3g had a corruption bug of some
sort. I didn't worry about it, because I didn't have NTFS partitions
at that time.
Today's ntfs-3g seems to work well and has a lot of user confidence.
Getting full NTFS Journal support and recovery still seems to be a
work in progress. But even that is reportedly improved greatly
I fill in my own fstab file. I noticed after a bad shutdown, ntfs-3g
wouldn't mount the partition.
What to do? Force the mount? Boot Windows and have chkdisk fix it?
My idea was the best thing to do was boot Windows and let it recover
the journal, and make whatever repairs it wanted to do.
I do regular filesystem checks because I don't want to be working on
partitions which need some repair or clean up.
File system checks are somewhat recent with Puppy. Maybe it isn't even
a default, I have the pfix=fsck set, this way I get file system
checks each boot.
There is no argument that Puppy uses the force option if it wouldn't
mount without it. Usually, I suppose because Windows marked it for a
chkdisk and ntfs-3g won't mount it unless specifically told to do it.
If this doesn't work:
ntfs-3g $MNT_DEV $MNT_DIR -o umask=0,no_def_opts,noatime,rw
Then Puppy adds the force option:
ntfs-3g $MNT_DEV $MNT_DIR -umask=0,no_def_opts,noatime,rw,force
I would rather Puppy notify the user of the condition before the
force mount and give her an option to boot Windows and clean it up
As far as a conclusion or summary, I don't have one.

Great, so I get pay an attorney 500 dollars to understand what you are
talking about. Cut me some slack and split the expenses, will you?
Just kidding. In the "Information Age", I was able to find out what it
means within a minute.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for "after this, therefore because of
this," is a logical fallacy (of the questionable cause variety) that
states, "Since that event followed this one, that event must have
been caused by this one." It is often shortened to simply post hoc
and is also sometimes referred to as false cause, coincidental
correlation, or correlation not causation. It is subtly different from the
cum hoc ergo propter hoc
, in which the chronological ordering
of a correlation is insignificant.
Post hoc is a particularly tempting error because temporal sequence
appears to be integral to causality. The fallacy lies in coming to a
conclusion based solely on the order of events, rather than taking
into account other factors that might rule out the connection.
Now it I could get some help with the English, I'd be good to go.

Now to get to the info that the OP requested:
I would go ahead and make a small ntfs partition for my XP system of say 12 GB, then a small ntfs partition for my Windows progs of oh, 20 GB. Next do a little one for puppy sfs and home files maybe 10 GB (probably ext3,) small swap partition of 512 MB, then the rest of the 76-78 GB as a Fat32 partition to share data on between Puppy and XP. Install your XP 1st , then do puppy using lin n win frugal method which works just fine for me. BTW my experience with XP has suggested to me that to operate XP optimally you should run at least 1 GB of memory, I don,t know why but my systems have seemed to work smoother and faster and with less corruption when I am running that much memory. Just sumthing for you to chew on a bit.

Thanks pa_mcclamrock for your follow up.
As bigpup has already intimated the problem may have been due to the installation method. As we don't know what method was used or how XP failed in the boot process it is hard to offer any further suggestions.
I could make Windows fail to boot if I messed the boot.ini update when following Lin'N'Win. However, that does not mean Puppy is unsuitable for installing on ntfs - just that I don't take enough care in following instructions!
BruceB has pretty much summed up the current situation with regard to ntfs and Puppy. He is also right that the OP looks as if they have a blank disk and may be perfectly happy to create Linux partitions. That's fine with me. I just wanted to provide an alternate view on the comment that Puppy installed on ntfs upsets Windows booting.
There is always a risk - Microsoft may make a change to the ntfs system in service pack, which may cause a problem. However there is enough evidence in the field now to suggest we are OK on the ntfs with XP with any of its three service packs or the initial issue of Windows 7.

That's five primary partitions. You can only have four.

Despite being justifiably mocked for his simplistic demagoguery, Rick Santorum continues to push his anti-education position and claim that Obama is trying to indoctrinate people by making college more accessible for them. TPM interviews people at a Tea Party rally in Michigan where he spoke on the subject and finds them lapping it up:
So I set out into the crowded ballroom to find out just what the people the AFP crowd thought of Santorum's attack line.
Turns out they quite liked it.
"I thought that was brilliant," said Angie Clement of Commerce, Mich. "Not everybody has to go to college. We need garbagemen, we need welders, carpenters."
"Everybody can't be equal," agreed Paul Murrow of Milford, MI seated nearby. "Somebody needs to do the manual labor."
Clement's husband, Stephen, said Santorum was right on the mark when he said that Obama wants to send kids to get college degrees so as to produce more liberals."It starts down at the elementary school level with all this bullshit about diversity, pardon my French," he said. "Diversity and sensitivity and all that crap. That's the stuff that needs to be taught at home not by my teachers. My teachers need to be academic: Math, science, history, social studies, that sort of thing and keep political opinions out of it, bottom line."
Look, I don't have a college degree (I dropped out to become a stand up comedian). I absolutely agree that one doesn't have to go to college to be successful. And I absolutely agree that not everyone has to or should go to college at all. Yes, society needs people who do manual labor. If society was made up entirely of people like me, we'd be in big trouble; nothing would get built or produced, to be sure. But you can make that argument without all this anti-intellectual nonsense and without these ridiculous claims of brainwashing students. And that's the root of all this bullshit.

A new consumer update was released by the Food and Drug Administration warning about the dangers of giving teething babies products with benzocaine, an ingredient found in many over the counter pain gels and liquids made specifically for teething. Products containing benzocaine include Anbesol and Oragel.
The FDA says using benzocaine products to stop mouth and gum pain can cause a rare and sometimes fatal condition called methemoglobinemia. Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder where the oxygen that's carried through the blood to the tissue drops to dangerously low levels. In severe cases it can cause death. Some of the symptoms to look for include pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips and fingernail beds, shortness of breath, headache, light-headedness and rapid heart rate. This can occur after the first use or after several uses and it can also occur in adults.

Very specific and precise laws such as the cosmological constant and the Fibonacci sequence have been discovered and proven which govern science, math and biology within our universe.
All scientists would agree that there is an order and a pattern to our universe.
So what about a moral code? What are it's laws? Where can we find them?
It seems that they are written inside the DNA of all of us along with an inherent guilt for violating them.
How is it then, that the moral laws are the only laws in our universe that can be violated?
Does it seem like an obvious conclusion to anyone else that there was a grand designer of this very ordered universe?
If so, would this designer have allowed this violation of the moral code to happen for some reason?
But why? If only there was a message from this omnipotent Designer - explaining how these violations happen and if there is a solution to all the destruction and guilt from these moral violations which are universally felt throughout the human race.
(Don't hate - Just trying to think outside the proverbial box.)
You're abusing the term "law" when you say that "they're the only laws that can be violated".
From the underlying genetically mediated tendency to think about things a certain way - for instance morally- to the final behaviour to which we assign the terms moral, immoral or amoral, there's an enormous number of intervening variables which are causally related to the final outcome.
We don't know what they are, we don't know how they effect people so at least for this reason, although probably for a number of other deeper reasons, we can't predict people's behaviour.
So there's no "law" where "law" means "we can predict this human's behaviour the way we can predict the course of falling bodies".
But that's not the same as saying there is no scientific law underlying human morality at all. There are laws which determine the how genetics and environment interact to produce human behaviour, just like there are laws determining everything else, we just don't know enough yet to model it completely. And maybe we never will.
So what good is it? The utility of understanding that genetics is the source of morality is the same utility that all scientific knowledge has - before you can hope to influence something, you have to understand how it does, in fact, work to the greatest degree you can manage. The more you know, the more influence over it you may be able to achieve. At the very least, you're not constantly attempting to do impossible things in horribly inefficient ways because you're laboring under a false set of premises- like the devil is in someone and that's why they're acting like that.
If you don't have a correct theory, one that stands up to examination and criticism by the scientific method, then you're just being guided by folk wisdom or superstition.
People are essentially whatever evolution shit out its ass over the course of a few million years. That's not a glamorous starting point but if you cant' face reality because you find it distasteful or disappointing then you can't ever change anything you don't like about humans either, like their bellicosity or their self-destructive, short-sighted greediness. You can't change it because you refuse to accept what science is telling you about what it is you want to see changed. It's like firing a gun and instead of aiming using Newton's laws as your underlying theory, you pray to God and reflect on the righteousness of your side and the wickedness of the people you're shooting at. Guess which side wins the war.
We evolved to survive in an general environment and social arrangements in which the possibility of doing everyone in via global warming and nuclear weapons didn't exist. In other words, the genes we still carry from that time did not evolve to help us survive the world we now inhabit. Any creature that fits that description has a serious problem.
We may be a failed experiment. We may extinguish ourselves. That is a possibility you have to face. If we do it's because we understood external nature better than we understood the part of nature we call ourselves. If human extinction conflicts with your value system, then you need to understand why people act the way they do so you can change it.
A couple of quotes from Einstein leap to mind here.
One is "The bomb has changed everything for mankind except his thinking"
The other is "Nothing is as practical s a good theory".

A mentally ill man who stabbed his father and sister to death in their Sydney home was never officially committed despite threatening to snap his friend's neck, an inquest has heard.
Anthony Waterlow killed his 68-year-old father, well-known art curator Nick Waterlow, and his sister Chloe Heuston, 36, at their Randwick home in Sydney 2009.
In 2011, he was found not guilty in the NSW Supreme Court of their murders by reason of mental illness.
On Monday, a Sydney inquest heard that health professionals never detained Anthony under the mental health act despite years of "bizarre and often threatening" behaviour.
Giving evidence, Gaye Bell - a friend of Anthony's who shared a house with him from 2003 to 2007 - said she had wanted him forcibly detained under mental health laws.
"If I had the power I would have done it in a second, have him scheduled," Ms Bell told the inquest at Glebe Coroners Court.
Ms Bell told the inquest she wanted him locked up for his own safety, as well as that of his family.
"Right from the start I originally wanted Anthony scheduled for his own safety ... his life was terrible," she said.
"I really was very worried and frightened for him."
Ms Bell said she became more worried about Anthony's "increasingly bizarre and aggressive" behaviour after he threatened to "snap" her neck in 2007.
Earlier, counsel assisting the Coroner, Peggy Dwyer, told the inquest that Anthony, who sometimes spells his name 'Antony', suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and believed his family was targeting him as part of a plan.
The inquest was also told he had for years suffered delusions and believed neighbours were "tormenting him".
At one time in 2004, the inquest heard, Anthony claimed to hear neighbours talking about him, blowing smoke in his room, and thought he was being filmed and recorded.
On another occasion he had made stabbing motions towards a neighbour's property with a large kitchen knife.
However, despite such erratic behaviour he was never officially scheduled, the inquest heard.
"At no time... was he judged to come within the test requiring him to be scheduled under the MHA (mental health act)," Ms Dwyer said in her opening address.
She said a major issue at the inquest would be whether Anthony should have been sectioned under the act.
The inquest also heard evidence from a psychiatrist who treated Anthony in 2006.
He said Anthony was not a typical patient and often presented with a polite, calm and engaging manner.
"It was a very difficult case," he told the inquest.
The inquest continues on Tuesday before deputy state coroner Paul Macmahon.

DMC-ZR3A LUMIX 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Intelligent Zoom (Blue)
This NEW product you are browsing has been inspected by our certified technicians to ensure that it meets factory specifications; it is guaranteed to be in perfect working order.
The Equipment is sold in "AS IS" condition and returns will not be accepted so please contact us with any questions BEFORE placing an order at 1-800-572-3224 Ext: 243.
We accept PayPal and all major credit cards. We do our best to describe each item we are selling to the best of our ability. Bear in mind that the Item is sold as-is with no warranty. Use the "contact us" page to request additional info or images on this product.
25mm Ultra Wide-angle Lens
The 25mm ultra wide-angle lens* has about twice the shooting area as a standard 35mm lens. This enhances all kinds of shooting situations, like when you're photographing a group of people at an indoor party or shooting a large structure or sweeping landscape while traveling.
* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the maximum wide position.
10x Intelligent Zoom / 16.9x Extra Optical Zoom
Thanks to the newly incorporated Intelligent Resolution technology, the Intelligent Zoom is available with the DMC-ZR3 which extends the zoom ratio by approx. 1.3x maintaining the picture quality even combining a digital zoom. This means the 8x optical can virtually extend to 10x equivalent. Furthermore, the Extra Optical Zoom function that extends zoom power to 16.9x* by using the center part of the large CCD to bring subjects even closer.
* At 3-megapixel resolution or less.
HD Movie in AVCHD Lite
In addition to Motion JPEG images, the DMC-ZR3 can record high-definition motion images in AVCHD Lite. It features almost double the recording time in HD quality compared with the conventional Motion JPEG format.
Powerful 8x Optical Zoom
The DMC-ZR3 also lets you use zooming when taking motion pictures. Its powerful 8x optical zoom is ideal for capturing dynamic video clips of sports action or animals in nature.
High Quality Sound
The DMC-ZR3 features Dolby Digital Creator to record high quality audio, so you can match the beautiful movies with outstanding sound.
*Dolby and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby Laboratories.
POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) Shake Detection
Just about everyone has had the experience of taking a photo at night and hoping to capture all the memories and beauty, only to be disappointed at the poor result. The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)* nearly doubles the hand-shake correction power of conventional MEGA O.I.S. You get bright photos without blurring even from handheld shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Panasonic's accumulated optical technologies, the MEGA O.I.S. has been incorporated into LUMIX from the early stage of digital camera development. This helped show all digital camera users the absolute need for hand-shake compensation, and led to its prevalence throughout the industry. And now, Panasonic has worked on the low-frequency vibration hand-shake component, which is physically generated when pressing the shutter button or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed.
*The POWER O.I.S. is automatically turned on in the iA Mode and can be turned on or off in the Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.

Best Kids Parties: The Circus
Name: Alice (1)
Location: Concord, CA
As soon as I started thinking about Alice's 1st birthday party, I knew it would be circus-themed. From the day she was born (she's the 2nd child) I referred to our family as a circus. It seemed life became a crazy juggling act; who knew who was going to be the ring leader on any given day! So, it just seemed to fit naturally that Alice would be the ring-leader on her special 1st Birthday.
I've never had so much fun throwing a party as I did throwing Alice's 1st Birthday Circus party. The ideas and inspirations were seriously endless! We asked guests to come in their favorite circus attire - and we were impressed with the array of costume ensembles; from clowns, to acrobats, to ring-leaders - everyone came ready to have fun!
For decor, I kept things in the color scheme of pink, yellow, white and mint/teal. We used animal figurines that you might find at a circus, pennant flags, balloons, and a blue tarp- tent to shelter the food from the sun/heat.
The food included a simple, yet festive spread of corn dogs, different flavors of popcorn, several bowls of pink and white candy, frosted animal cookies, cupcakes, and old-fashioned soda (to be drunk with teal stripey straws, of course!). I also hand-dipped caramel apples (with a coordinating ribbon tied on each stick) for a party favor that guests could take home.
We had several game stations for the children; fishing for prizes, face painting, a reading corner with circus-themed books, a coloring station with circus coloring pages, and a ring of fire (a hula-hoop decorated with flames made out of felt that I found here -I referred to that post a lot while planning this party).
My favorite part of the party was the photo booth. I set up a simple corner with a pin-striped sheet as a backdrop, a tripod/camera, and a jar of hand-made props. I made the simple props using black & red foam from a craft store and wooden dowels. It was my favorite part because I asked each guest/family to make a stop at the photo booth on their way out; I now have a wonderful collection of fun photos of each of our guests from our party. I love that!
You can see some more of my inspirations on my Pinterest Board here All in all, the party was so fun and memorable. All of the guests had a great time, especially Miss Alice, our little Ring-Leader Birthday Girl - and that's what really matters, right?
Thanks Marci! Readers, see more of Alice's Circus Party on Ballroom and Biscotti.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Guidelines to Create Contact Center Tips
From DocWiki
Back: Create Contact Center Troubleshooting Tips
Contact Center Docwiki requirements to add/modify tips
- Do not reuse the tip title. If you do, the older tip with the same title will get rewritten.
- Do not change the name of a tip after it is linked or exported. If you do, you may break bookmarks set by users/customers.
- Only use init. caps for the first word and product name.
- Preface your tip with a division like General, Configuration, Installation, Reporting, or other division as required. These divisions will limit the customer's search and avoid frustration while searching for the required tip.
- If a field does not apply, state None. Do not leave it empty.
- Preface the Release number with the word "Release" - for example, Release 7.6(1).
- Spell check your work.
- Follow all Cisco external guidelines when adding tips.
- If a bug ID is associated with your tip AND this bug is visible using bug toolkit, add the bug ID to the tip. Cross reference the bug ID using the Docwiki URL for this tip. Optionally, you can provide a direct link to bug tool kit. This step allows verification by anyone at any time.
- If the same tip applies to several products and releases, you can add the required multiple categories to the same page (just once) and it will automatically be displayed in the required pages.
- If the tip is no longer applicable or if a release has been EOLed, remember to delete the unwanted category.
We can track change history!
Monitor each product-release frequently
Monitor each Contact Center Docwiki page to achieve the following goals:
- Keep track of EOLed releases.
- Remove out-of-date tips.
- Verify if the tips apply to multiple releases.
- Monitor and track feedback and discussions from users/customers.
Handling special characters in a Docwiki page
While migrating the tips, I realized that our Wiki is not capable of handling special characters, such as underscore ( _ ), single quotes ( ' ), etc. Do we have a solution for this? Several special characters are part of the Mediawiki markup language. Any time you want to use special characters when editing a page, use the () begin and end tags. For example,<nowiki>%CUIS_HOME%\Cisco|CUIS\CuisWeb, %CUIS_HOME%\Cisco|CUIS\bin as shown in System: Location of Unified IC Files.
Handling special characters in the title
Your page title may contain one or more characters which cannot be used in titles. The title gets cut off at the special character. For example, clicking on a link to "John & Maria's page" gets a 404, because MediaWiki is looking for a page named "John." This is because symbols (such as &, ?, #, + and /) in titles are treated as query string separators. Please work around using special characters in the title. In this case, you could use "and" as an alternative.
Additional Help
See The WIKIMEDIA Help:Contents page for more information.

That drag racing gets the blood pumping definitely holds true for the drivers challenging each other on the quarter-mile, but what about the spectators? What gets their hearts to really pound? The answer comes in two of the NHRA's guests at the 19th annual California Hot Rod Reunion next weekend: Al "Mousie" Marcellus and "Jungle Pam" Hardy.
Marcellus, one of five of this year's CHRR honorees, is most famous for building the Winged Express, the Fuel Altered dragster famously piloted by Willie Borsch that debuted 50 years ago. Marcellus and Borsch thrilled crowds like few have since thanks to the brutal power that the Winged Express produced and thanks to Borsch's habit of driving the Winged Express sideways, with one hand on the wheel.
Other honorees at this year's CHRR – Super Stock and Pro Stock pioneer Bill Bagshaw, renowned chassis builder Don Long, Nostalgia Drag Racing Association founder Tom Prufer, the duo of Steinegger and Eshenbaugh, and CHRR Grand Marshal Tom Hanna – all made significant contributions to drag racing in their own rights, but we imagine the line for autographs will be much longer for Jungle Pam Hardy, making an appearance at the CHRR with the Jungle Jim Funny Car Team. Hardy, who did eventually learn to wrench on a car but never drove, always provided a thrill for drag race spectators whenever Jungle Jim Liberman came out to make a pass. With her go-go boots and short shorts, perhaps few spectators even bothered to watch Jungle Jim's Funny Car after it left the line.
Along with the featured personalities, the CHRR will also feature the finals of the NHRA Hot Rod Heritage Racing Series, a swap meet, midway and the perennial favorite Cacklefest. It takes place October 15-17 at the Auto Club Famoso Raceway just north of Bakersfield, California. For more information, visit museum.nhra.com.


text: When I left my State job a few years ago, I had to take COBRA benefits for a few months, and paid $450 a month for them. That's the monthly payment cost for a single person on a reasonable HMO, not one of the "Cadillac" health plans McCain says are the ones that cost more than $5,000 a year PER FAMILY. I worked in health care (first for the State, then as a hospital administrator) and have never, in my life, heard of a health plan that cost $5,000 per year per family. Triple that and I might listen. For a minute.

Today's post is dedicated to Mr. S. My sad, sniffly Mr. S, who has welcomed the advent of spring with raucous sternutation. We don't understand it. There's no grass yet, the tree pollen is low. But the poor guy is a mess. And over the weekend, as his playing of Black Ops was continually interrupted by vigorous sneezes, we began to notice a certain amount of diurnal rhythm.
The mornings are the worst, no question. Dawn breaks out, and the tissues do too. He's full of gluey misery until about 11am or so, when things seem to generally quiet down. And then, then comes sundown, and the mucus flows most robustly until poor Mr. S finally passes out in a pile of used tissues. Don't worry, we've got antihistamine and lots of it, but it never gets rid of the symptoms entirely.
But being the scientist that I am, I noticed the pattern, he always seemed less miserable in the middle of the day. But the POLLEN can't be all that much better in the middle of the day, right? And at night, shouldn't it be better? But his allergies are worse! Is this normal? What does it MEAN?
I turned to the lit.

Note: Thanks to Le Physiologiste for the paper!!
Many of you have probably heard of hay fever. Am I alone in thinking this must have been a specific allergy? I thought if you had "hay fever" you had to be allergic to something specific...like hay (except I figured it wouldn't be hay). I was thinking it'd be something really common like grass or ragweed. But it turns out that hay fever is MUCH less specific than that, and refers just to allergenic rhinitis, the combination of dust or pollen and a sensitized immune system resulting in one very irritated airway.
Symptoms include: sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose (rhinitis), coughing, wheezing, and acute whinging and misery. The inflammatory responses are triggered via the chemical histamine. When we take allergy meds, we are usually taking antihistamines, drugs which act as competitors for the histamine receptors, binding them up so that histamine cannot hit them, and thus saving us some misery. But this means that you'll have the BEST response to the antihistamines if you can get them in your system before the major histamine flood occurs. So you want to take the meds before your symptoms are worst.
But when is that?
To examine this, the scientists called up over 2000 people around the UK, and asked them about their allergies. Did they suffer from hay fever, what was their primary symptom, at what time of day does it begin to bother them, and when were their symptoms worst. And then they came up with maps of where allergies were the worst around the UK, and how they varied over time of day.
It turns out about 12% of people in the UK suffered from hay fever in 1973 (the numbers are apparently lower now, but it's still about 12% in the US). The area with the most allergy symptoms per capita was south east England (the area surrounding London to the south, containing Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Oxfordshire, and other places that I mainly recognize from Jane Austen novels), followed by London itself (smog anyone?), and south west England (with counties like Cornwall, Gloucestershire, and Dorset). The lowest was Yorkshire (which is toward the north of England). You'd think Scotland would be lowest in hay fever, being a bit colder (less pollen?), but no dice.
The biggest symptom of hay fever was sneezing, followed by runny nose, red itchy eyes, wheezing, and coughing came in last. But the time of onset was what I was REALLY after.
You can see above that the allergies really dominated the morning hours, with a big drop around midday, and a small increase at night (though it looks like wheezing and coughing had bigger increases).
The worst intensity graph looks similar.
And it appears that Mr. S's allergies follow the general trend, getting worse in the morning and at night. The authors talk about how formulations of antihistamines should take this into account, releasing most in the morning or at night. Or you could just take the pill right when you get up.
But I still have questions, and my brief search through the literature found me nothing. WHY do allergies have diurnal variation? The morning I understand, all the flowers opening, the breeze picking up, the pollen counts getting high. But doesn't pollen decrease at night? And shouldn't pollen levels be just as bad at midday when the symptoms appear to often be better? What is going on here? Is there diurnal regulation of histamine receptors, getting lower at midday? Or is there diurnal release of histamine itself? Studies on diurnal release of histamine haven't found any changes, so perhaps its the receptors. Is there some other cause? And why haven't people studied this? Or is it just my failed Pubmed-fu?
If anyone wants to pass along an abstract or three, I'd love to see them! In the meantime, I'm putting Mr. S to bed, and he's taking his antihistamine first thing in the morning, to try and head off the sneezing before it starts.

GenGAME writes: "One of the most telling signs is the palette of genres that have representation even just in the day one lineup. Almost every prolific genre is on the way: you've got a side-scrolling platformer, an arcade games suite, a whopping five action-adventures (all of them of AAA quality), two action games, a survival horror shooter, a Call of Duty HD experience, four sports games, a racing game, a puzzle game, an arcade fighter, an arcade tank battle game, three party games, and a fitness game."
Well I dont think it would be that difficult to have the best launch lineup compared to other what other consoles had in their lineups
After sifting through the titles to be available. I completely agree that the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system brings to the table the greatest launch lineup of all time. Day one alone is littered to the rim with 1st and 3rd party AAA quality gaming experiences. One of the most diverse selections of titles ever available for a console launch. Many being exclusive at that.
Nintendo has done the right thing, and have truly listened to its Elite fan base. Many of our prayers, and requests have been answered immediately. Literally delivering titles for Everyone. Everything from fighting, to racing, to platforming, to survival horror. And many many more.
Others can truly learn from what Nintendo is doing here. Take notes on how to launch a console properly, and make sure there is a wide range of gaming experiences available right out of the starting gates. All for a low affordable price for the hard working consumer.
Rated E For Everyone
its a decent line up.. To say its the best ever is pushing it unless the wii was your only console this entire generation

'Project Terry' to Display at Louisville RV Show
November 15, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on 'Project Terry' to Display at Louisville RV Show
Tapping into a growing trend of RV enthusiasts who are restoring and renovating old RVs is the concept behind Project Terry, which will be on display at the National RV Trade Show, Dec. 3-5 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky.
According to a press release from Coast Distribution Systems Inc., the 1978 Terry travel trailer is being renovated by a team of RV enthusiasts in Eugene, Ore., and features products from program sponsors including Coleman-Mach, Dicor, Suburban, JR Products, Husky Towing, Carefree of Colorado, Winegard, Powerhouse Products, Horizon Transport, Norcold, Thetford and Arcon.
Late next spring, the Project Terry travel trailer will be auctioned off on eBay. The auction should gain the attention of RV enthusiasts looking for an upgraded vintage unit with current RV technology. The proceeds from the auction will be donated to the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind.
While restorations revive the original look and function of a motorhome or trailer, renovations can use modifications to bring a whole new look and feel to a travel-weary vehicle, "bringing it new life and even greater capability than the original," according to Coast. Project Terry will not only update materials and color schemes, but also upgrade functionality with the latest technology in appliances, lighting, plumbing, heating and air conditioning.
These types of projects, both restoration and renovation, are being tackled by do-it-yourselfers in increasing numbers and the goal of the project is to spur the RV industry into finding ways to tap into this growing trend.
RV Magazine is covering the renovation in a multipart series called "Project Terry, Extreme Mobile Makeover."
Project Terry will continue to help DIYers with the challenges and joys of tackling an extreme mobile makeover with design ideas and step-by-step how-to instructions. Project Terry also points consumers to the best available parts and products along with the occasional suggestion to take some jobs to their local RV service center.
With RV Magazine supplying the consumer reach, Coast looked to several RV product manufacturers for their expertise in supplying quality RV components for the project. Several of these companies signed on as primary sponsors, each getting their company logo included in the media coverage of the project.
RV Magazine recruited freelance photojournalist Larry Walton to oversee the build and report on the progress. Walton provides magazine content for outdoor enthusiasts and home improvement do-it-yourselfers. Walton is also a licensed contractor in Oregon. His Project Terry crew was manned with experienced carpenters and RV enthusiasts with very limited experience working on RVs, says the release.
The crew found a 1978 Terry travel trailer they thought would be a good candidate for an RV renovation. The decor included harvest gold counters and burnt orange dinette seats with matching faux brick vinyl flooring. But the subfloor was solid and the cabinets were in great condition. The open floorplan was similar to what we find in many newer models with a large bathroom and plenty of windows.
The crew noted "some damage from water leaks," which, as with many home improvement projects, turned out to be more than anticipated, which helped Project Terry live up to its "Extreme" billing.
Planned aspects of the build included:
• Running gear: brakes, bearings, hubs, tires and wheels.
• Exterior: siding, awning, roof, vents, graphics.
• Plumbing and electrical: lights, toilet, sinks, tanks.
• Appliances: furnace, air conditioning, fridge, range, water heater.
• Interior: furniture, counters, floors, woodwork.
Project Terry was also made possible with the help of the team of product sponsors including AP Products, ASA Electronics, Specialty Recreation Inc., Duoform, LaSalle Bristol, MTI, Optronics, Phoenix, Schneider Electric, Sunforce, WFCO, YSN, Hickory and Shurflo.
RV industry insiders can see Project Terry on display in Booth No. 5326 at the show.

Query Update
Total queries: 33
Pending queries: 10
Minimum response time (requests): 0 days
Median response time (requests): 12 days
Maximum response time (requests): 30 days
Minimum response time (rejections): 1 day
Median response time (rejections): 3.5 days
Maximum response time (rejections): 22 days
In some ways, this seems a little counterintuitive. Why do agents take longer to request? Don't they pounce on the manuscripts they're interested in? Maybe they do if the concept's super amazing, or if they wake up that morning and think, "Gee, I'd really love a YA space opera with a line-dancing ocelot," and then one lands in their inbox.
More often, though, I suspect requests tend to take longer because agents are mulling them over. Mary Kole blogged about the way she tackles queries several months ago, and the moral of the story was, if you receive an insta-response from her, it's probably an insta-rejection. That's not always the case, of course, and every agent is different, but I think a lot more agents are quick to reject than are quick to request.
In other news, I'm happy to report I've only sent out nine queries since my last query update, so I'm definitely trying to be more conservative. Also, you're probably wondering what happened to that partial-turned-full request I mentioned last month. (Or maybe you're not. My life's probably not as interesting to you as it is to me:) ) Well, it turned into a revise-and-resubmit a few weeks ago, and I'm pretty excited about it. The agent had some fantastic ideas, and I hope to be able to send off that revision sometime in the next couple of months.
In the meantime, it's onward and upward. Even though I'm working on this revision, I still stand behind the original Bob. Because you never know when someone will come along and love him just as he is.
How's everybody else doing? Did you survive NaNoWriMo? Any other good news (or bad news) you'd like to share with the rest of us?

Hey, we're always interested in what you're doing. We're writers too, and like others' journeys. Good luck with the revision! I think revision and more revision is the expected path to submission, from what I've heard.
I didn't do NaNo, just plugging away on my WIP, waiting for agents as you are. ;o)
- December 8, 2010 at 10:41 AM
- Ben Spendlove said...
That's great, Krista. Good luck! It's looking like it'll take me three or four months to be ready to query. It's that "learn-as-you-go" writing school. Once I master one thing (meaning fix one set of big mistakes) there's another waiting.
Keep the updates coming!

Congrats on the revise-and-resubmit! That's awesome. Good luck!!

Good luck with it all! So exciting for you about the revising opportunity. :)

Congrats on the R&R! You're definitely a step closer.

Woo hoo for the R & R! :)

It sounds like you are making wonderful progress, with some really positive things happening. Good luck on the rewrite and resubmit!
- December 8, 2010 at 2:19 PM
- Nicole Zoltack said...
Good luck on the R&R! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
I won Nano and PiBo. Now I'm revising a different story and trying to finish the nano one. Lots of things on my plate right now.
- December 8, 2010 at 3:02 PM
- Krista V. said...
Carol, I didn't do NaNo, either. I find it amusing that November happened to be my take-a-break month this year:)
Ben, it's a lot better to take your time on the front end than to try to cram a lot of revisions into the back end, after you've already started querying, so I think you've got the right idea. Good luck with that manuscript!
Thank you, Jeni!
Yeah, Janet, the R&R is a wonderful opportunity.
Thanks, Connie!
Pam, I'm woohoo-ing, too:)
Thank you, KarenG. No matter what happens from here, some wonderful things have already happened, and I can't lose sight of that.
Nicole, at the risk of sounding out-of-the-loop, what exactly is PiBo?

Gee, I'd really love a YA space opera with a line-dancing ocelot,"
Now, that's a book I'd pay good money to read!
NaNo...I dragged across the finish line with my eyes closed (literally) am dying to start revisions but making myself wait awhile for perspective. Really, really difficult to wait this time...
- December 8, 2010 at 3:33 PM
Krista, best of luck to you with Bob as he is or with a fresh haircut and a new shirt. It sounds like such a great story.
I sent snail-mail queries a month ago to two agents who don't want a synopsis. No word yet. I've almost forgotten about them, to be honest. I'm going to wait until after the holidays/mid-to-late January to query everybody else. In the meantime, I'm writing some short stories and having a lot of fun.
- December 8, 2010 at 3:48 PM
- Michael G-G said...
Good for you, Krista, you're an inspiration. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your R-n-R, as well as for BOB Mark 1.
I have a few queries out. Like you, most rejections have been swift.
I enjoy your blog and all the information you give us.
- December 8, 2010 at 3:54 PM
- A.J. Cattapan said...
Your post made me feel better about my own querying experiences. A month ago, an agent was very quick to ask for a partial after my reading query, but she hasn't been as quick to respond since receiving the requested chapters. Your post is keeping me optimistic! :)
In the meantime, I did "win" NaNo, and now I'm taking a break before I revise.
- December 8, 2010 at 4:09 PM
- Myrna Foster said...
I love it when you post query updates.
The last CP who read mine didn't think it had major pacing issues. He read it in less than a week and loved it. Of course, he read a different draft than my previous CP, so now I'm waiting to hear from the other two CPs it's out to.
Um, did I just type that? I haven't even read his critique (although I did read and respond to the e-mails, lots of e-mails). I meant to say that I'm completely consumed by my current rough draft ;)
- December 8, 2010 at 5:17 PM
- Krista V. said...
February Grace, you are an inspiration. I'm awful at letting manuscripts rest.
Holly, your plan sounds like a good one. And I'm glad you're having fun working on some other things.
Michael, thanks for your kind note. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, too (and toes, just to be on the safe side).
A.J., congratulations on winning NaNoWriMo! That, in itself, is an accomplishment. And I hope you hear back from that agent soon. At first, the request itself is enough to keep you going, but after a while, you just want to know one way or the other.
Myrna, yay for being consumed by a rough draft! I know how that goes:) And I'm glad you like these query updates. (Although trust me, if anything REALLY exciting happens, you'll be one of the first to know:) )
- December 8, 2010 at 5:41 PM
- Roberta Walker said...
I quit querying after 7 rejections. This was sort of my plan, I was just kind of "getting in practice" - can I pick myself up after rejection? Is my query lacking? Are my first 5 pages all wrong? I am proud to say I am still happy with my story and am diving into revisions (again) with a very optimistic attitude. Good luck with yours!!
- December 9, 2010 at 4:34 AM
- Shari said...
Exciting news about the agent who requested the revisions/resubmittal! My fingers are crossed for you that Bob will find a wonderful home with someone who loves him just as much as you do. Keep us updated, and best of luck to you!
I'm still in the midst of querying, too. I have a full and a partial out right now, as well as eight queries (I always like to have ten options in play). It seems like a tricky time of year to be querying, what with the holidays and all, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everyone with a "baby" out there to agents :)
- December 9, 2010 at 11:37 AM
- Krista V. said...
Roberta, glad you're still working on that story. No reason to give up yet.
Thank you, Shari, for such a cheery comment. Fingers (and toes, as mentioned earlier) crossed for both of us!
- December 9, 2010 at 12:57 PM
- Kristin said...
Krista, it sounds like you're on the right track for sure! Hooray for the request to R&R!
Love reading those updates... they keep me going knowing that others are in the same or similar boat. :)
- December 9, 2010 at 3:42 PM
- A.L. Sonnichsen said...
Hooray for the math person who keeps stats on her queries! I would never think of doing that, but I'm so glad you do, because it's so interesting and informative. :) I'm very proud of you. Those are great numbers. And congrats again on the revision request. That's sweet. ;)
- December 9, 2010 at 6:11 PM
- Jessie Oliveros said...
Wow, congratulations on the revise and resubmit. Your book looks very intriguing!
- December 9, 2010 at 7:56 PM
- Elena Solodow said...
Congrats on the agent response!
I'm still gettin' rejections. Another query batch is going out in the new year.
- December 9, 2010 at 8:16 PM
- Krista V. said...
Kristin, I'm glad you enjoy these query updates. Sometimes they feel a little too, I don't know, me-oriented, so it's good to know you're getting something out of them.
Amy, when you query LFH, I'll keep your stats for you:)
Jessie, thanks! And thanks for stopping by.
Elena, sorry about the rejections. Hopefully, that next batch of queries you send out will hit the sweet spot.
- December 9, 2010 at 9:44 PM
- Stephanie@thecrackedslipper said...
That's great news on the re-write! In the meantime-- stand by your man Bob. Good luck! Writing, querying, blogging and mothering-- you have a hugely full plate!
- December 14, 2010 at 5:10 PM
- Krista V. said...
Thank you, Stephanie! Your comment made me smile:)

TRAINING: A typical day of training is just focusing on rounding out my entire game and preparing for all the worst case scenarios as much as possible.
When and why did you start training for fighting? On Guam everyone grows up fighting. I always loved martial arts and wanted to get good at it so I started to train with my cousin in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA six years ago. A year later I made my pro debut. I come from an island of warriors. Being born a Chamorro, it is in our blood to fight, so it came natural to me.
What ranks and titles have you held? Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, 2010 Abu Dhabi World Pro Jiu-Jitsu Champion, Gorilla Warfare Superfight Champion
Do you have any heroes? God, Jesus Christ, my parents, Franklin and Loretta Cruz.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? It started with an island boy with a dream, and through hard work and sacrifice, it became reality. It means everything to me to have the opportunity from the UFC to be able to showcase my skills to the world in the greatest organization ever. It is all uphill from here.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I was attending the University of Guam studying Physical Education. It is my goal to finish in the near future.
What was your job before you started fighting? I worked as a Power Plant Operator
Favorite grappling technique: All chokes and joint locks
Favorite striking technique: All of my strikes that connect clean
