To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first. ~ William Shakespeare
This weekend marks six months since I fell while hiking and sprained the living hell out of my ankle. I've spent the past six months diligently working to first heal and then strengthen my ankle. The first couple of months were rough, but I knew that if I pushed through I would be ready when the 2011 hiking season arrived.
All of the hard work was worth it.
Yesterday the dogs and I hit the trail for our first hike of the year.
A notable difference from last year: Luka is off leash on the trail.
I've had him for over a year now. He's become very obedient and seems to have bonded closely to me. I had a feeling he could handle being off leash and I was right. He always came back when I called and he never got too far away from me.
Best of all: he and Sadie had a fantastic time exploring together. (I love the big smile on her face in this picture.)
They ran around so much that they needed to rest just 30 minutes into the hike.
Then they had to rest again just a short time later.
Finally, we reached our destination (where Luka jumped right in and started swimming).
Sadie swam, too.
They also played together.
Luka explored the rocks.
When it was snack time the dogs kept a close eye on my bag of carrots. (They both love carrots.)
It was a lovely day.
Finally, Milo continues training for the Sleep Olympics.

As drought-tolerant hybrids make their way to market, at least one agronomist thinks the Western Corn Belt could be ground zero for an all-out battle for market share.
"Drought-tolerant corn could expand seed companies' markets," says Kraig Roozeboom, Extension agronomist at Kansas State University. "Continued expansion of corn acreage at the expense of other crops, such as wheat and sorghum, will mean greater corn seed sales -- which is the most profitable sector of the seed market."
With Pioneer and Syngenta offering these drought-tolerant hybrids in limited release to the Western Corn Belt, and biotech hybrids in the pipeline, the battle will be on for dryland corn business.
Roozeboom says technology isn't the only reason new-generation corns are arriving so fast, compared to the new offerings for other standard crops. The seed industry for some time has been making larger investments in improving corn yields, largely because corn has been generating more dollars to invest. Herbicide- and insect-resistant corn varieties, for example, were earlier money-makers.
Market factors have been pulling agriculture toward increased corn production, Roozeboom says, which include worldwide demand for feed grains and ethanol production.
And the most promising expansion of the Corn Belt could come in regions that were once thought off-limits to corn production due to limited water resources.

WikiFur:Comic of the Week/Week 40, 2008
Furthia High is a furry webcomic by QuetzaDrake. It is about a human teenager that attends his first year of public high school in a world completely populated by furries.
The comic began in June of 2005, and went on hiatus at the end of 2007. Upon its return, the story had restarted. The old archives are still online and available for reading. In April of 2008, the comic moved from its home of almost 3 years on Comic Genesis to its own server space hosted by Concession.
At the end of July 2008, QuetzaDrake began to put up Spanish, French, and Dutch translations of the English comics in their own sections of the site, with possibilities of Hebrew translations in the future. In August 2008, German, Central American Spanish and Hebrew translations were added, with Italian translations on the way. (comic - more...)

Parallel lives. The anthropologist and his wife featured in John Colman Wood's tale of love and loss, "The Names of Things," have worked on theirs for years. They are two beings joined by marriage, but deeply different in ways too numerous to count.
Parallel lives. The anthropologist and his wife featured in John Colman Wood's tale of love and loss, "The Names of Things," have worked on theirs for years. They are two beings joined by marriage, but deeply different in ways too numerous to count.
She is an artist, creative and introspective by nature, a social creature most comfortable in her own culture and when she's surrounded by the bustle of other lives. He is an academic whose main creative outlet is his ethnographic research and who is willing to endure life in isolated and exotic places for the sake of his work. Introspection is not one of his strong points, although he might argue that he must understand human nature — including his own — because he studies it.
When she follows him, reluctantly one senses, to the Chalbi Desert of northwestern Kenya for research on the Dasse pastoralists, the sharp edges of their separate worlds are brought into dramatic focus. Content with his work and with life in a tiny settlement, he is blind to her increasing unhappiness.
Misunderstandings, and the moody silences that follow, become more frequent. Then during one of their infrequent trips out of the bush to the town of Marsabit, her frustrations come to a head.
She: This is nice. … Maybe I could move here. …
He: We'd hardly see each other. You might as well go home. …
She, after a pause: I'm thinking about it. … You might have considered me when you decided where you were going to work … where both of us would be happy. …
He: We agreed. …
She: We agreed to the continent, not the desert. … I imagined something like (Marsabit), where it's green and normal and people don't gawk or come out of nowhere and touch my hair.
He: Is it so bad (in the desert)? …
She: It wasn't discussed. You wanted the desert. I couldn't exactly tell you to work somewhere else. You might have asked. … My sister says I can stay with her (if I go home). …
He: Jesus. … Are you really leaving?
She: You're the one who left.
He: What's that mean?
She: Don't you know?
Not long after, she does move from the little desert village of Maikona to the trading center of Marsabit, where she volunteers mornings at the local hospital and paints in the afternoon. Not being a nurse, she draws all of the menial tasks, changing beds, turning bodies, mopping up messes, comforting people as best she can.
One day at the hospital, she cuts herself slightly on a broken jar and then on her way home she stops to help a woman who has gashed herself while cutting wood by the roadside. Blood from the woman's wound enters the cut on the artist's finger and the die is cast.
Years later and home from Africa, she shows the first signs of illness: fever, aches, inexplicable sores. When she comes home with bad test results, she seeks comfort not from him, but from the familiarity of her studio. As the disease progresses, she gradually becomes homebound, her art dwindling to charcoal sketches done on a bed tray.
Throughout the downward spiral, he nurses her, now anxious to get into her head, to know what she is thinking and feeling. It is, however, too late, and the day comes when he is alone in all senses of the word, aware that his own nascent introspection came too late to share with her.
Then an unexpected thing happens. As he sorts out her sketchbooks one day, he makes a discovery that strikes at the very foundation of his memories of their marriage.
Drawings made during their time in the desert leave him wondering whether he really ever knew the person who was his wife, or the relationship that was their marriage. It prompts him to make one last journey to Africa, where he hopes to make sense of their love, his work and his life.
As he struggles to find peace in the African wilderness, he begins a sketchbook of his own, a belated link to his lost love. Now she is safe, he thinks. But from what?
He: I'm not sure. From this? From life? From me?
Alternating episodes from the lives of the anthropologist and his wife with descriptions of the rituals of the Dasse people, John Colman Wood has constructed an exquisite and memorable tale of humans' social needs layered on top of our inescapable inner solitude.
Dr. John Colman Wood, a presenter at Blue Ridge Bookfest 2013, is an associate professor of anthropology at UNC-Asheville, where he has worked since 1999. From 2003-2004, he served as the interim director of the UNCA Africana Studies Program. Prior to joining the UNCA faculty, he was a newspaperman and worked for the Times-News, The Gainesville Sun and The New York Times. Since 1991, Wood has made numerous trips to northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia to live with and study the Gabra pastoralists (renamed the Dasse people in his book). "The Names of Things" is Wood's first novel.

Electric Dandelion releases Metamorphosis on Muti Music [San Francisco] earlier this Summer, and it's a deep sacred dub experience, an examination of the higher self, a psychedelic experience, an entrance to the portal of your spirit's origin. Alan Joseph, both a producer and designer, resides and holds a residency in L.A., California, called BurnLA. I discovered Electric Dandelion at this year's Sonic Bloom while wandering by the booths, when I spotted a booth full of recognizable beautiful and warm hoods of rich designs. It was then when I had a flash back to the previous summer [2013] here in Austin, TX when someone had passed along his info on his hoods at a (Pre Burning Man Gathering, called Frabjous, for the unveiling of the Cathedral of Celestial Mathgic). Soon after, we chatted as I held my newly purchased and comforting hood that was to keep me warm the rest of the weekend in South Park, CO. He mentioned that he was performing at the Dome that Saturday. It is then when I discovered his exquisite dub and bass soundscapes, a first time live experience, a discovery of new sounds. With more than 10 years experience behind him with music production, Electric Dandelion can be seen as a versatile producer of many styles. From bass-filled journeys, to psychedelic melodic feels, all in a dub and downtempo atmosphere, he will hypnotize, elevate, inspire, and twist you into a luminous dimension.
Metamorphosis consists of 9 dub wonders full of dubs within dubs: Slither, Enchanted Memories, Ignite, Eclipse, Al, Whole Lotta Dopeness, Nathayan, Sacradelic, & Adea. Slither has a mysterious downtempo vibe to it, an electric slither of dubstep feels, attached with bass growls, and deep hitting bass lines will open up blockages. A crescendo soon follows and reveals a mixture of dub accelerations and fast forwarding glitch. "Could You know…" is sporadically heard throughout the track.. Enchanted Memories is a heavenly synth of initial snare strikes. A dub feel with trippy vocalizations can be heard. Hard-hitting bass lines create a rhythmic floor and will captivate the mind. It's as if the memories are spoken of through sound, a story of realizations made possible through laser beams and otherworldly sound effects and composition. Ignite is an enchanting cast of melodic bass growls and 808 dubs. He really does a good job of twirling your imagination and wrapping it against a never ending glitch escape. Beats so fresh, beats so fresh.
Alan Joseph Designs: www.alanjosephdesigns.com
Eclipse is a luscious synth exploration as it initially reveals a groovy flow and break down beat. The beat and vocals are ethereal throughout the entire song, as the second half is consistent with deep bass howls – an enchantment. Al has deep feels with the combination of dubstep and chilltrap on a midtempo beat. Crescendos are highlighted in this track, a very fresh outlook. Whole Lotta Dopeness is indeed a whole lotta dopeness. A dubstep flow is present with Hip-Hop vocalizations saying "There's a whole lotta dopeness", which is tied with sleek bass lines and sexy drops of glitch candy swirls. Midway through the track, there's a glitch uplift, rather than a "drop", brilliant. Nathayan is glitch downtempo with repetitive beat that is invigorating. A release of energy is felt through high semioccasional vocals. Sacradelic is a minimal trip hop illumination of synth hums and drones blended within. As the track progresses, ascending bass fixtures add their own eerie vibe as it perfectly syncs up with other elements. Adea is a downtempo fuse of intricate obscure elements, a bewitching sounding chant is fused in between giving it more of a spiral twist. Glitch bass lines create a slow motion dance as ascensions will take you back to phase 1.
Electric Dandelion is a deep spiritual guide filled with visible and audible expertise, a unique story of emergence made possible through his trip-hop and psychedelic love. This multi-instrumentalist has a unique vibe to him, both style and sound, he will continue to weave and create from the soulful entity within him. Metamorphosis is a cerebral journey felt through the heart of the composer and listener, it's a deep meditation that will open up channels of new energy healing. It is a transformation of light and energy, it reveals possibility beyond Earth, it illuminates the importance of change and direction. In order to grow, we expose ourself to change, by either stepping out of our comfort zone, or eliminating a blockage in order to enter a new phase, Electric Dandelion has done that through dub sound. From having played at several festivals such as Sonic Bloom, Lucidity, Enchanted Forest, Lightning in a Bottle, and Burning Man, he will continue to push his creativity so be on the look out for him. If you're a fan of Desert Dwellers, David Starfire, and Living Light, you will dig Alan's sound world which is rooted in psychedelic dub influences that will immerse you into a deeper understanding of meaning.

To hear the way she speaks of Memphis, and to know the many ways in which she works to better her community, one would never guess that Kathy Fish was not born and raised right here.
Originally from Rochester, N.Y., where she was the third of eight children, she first visited the South after a free-spirited, cross-country trip after high school.
"I fell in love with this city," she said, explaining her return here as an X-ray technician student at the Baptist College of Health Sciences, and then to the University of Memphis to study biology with the plan to become a physician.
Upon graduation, however, health care in the country was in transition and so was she, determining that what she wanted was "to have it all: work, job, family, own a business. I just felt like I needed to go in a different direction."
She altered her path and eventually earned an MBA from the University of Memphis.
It was a degree – and a passion – that would eventually lead her to found the financial planning service Fish and Associates.
"We do comprehensive financial planning to include investment management; we work with people on estate and tax planning, (and) income planning."
Fish felt all along that she wanted to work for herself and "to somehow be able to control my own destiny," and her boutique firm works to help people with a similar mindset, those who also find themselves in transition – whether it be from a change in career, death, divorce or any other life event.
Her client list is extensive and diverse, yet, she said, "I have a special desire to have meaningful conversations about money with women. I don't exclusively work with women clients, but I do have a good amount, probably at least 40 percent of my clients."
She maintains a financial and philosophical blog called "A Man is Not a Plan."
Her first job in the business was working with the Memphis office of Executive Financial Services Inc., which was closed only a year and a half after her start. Fish continued to share office space with others from the firm and to grow her own client list within the industry, going out completely on her own in 1996.
With nearly a quarter century of experience, Fish and her team of two, which includes daughter Kerry, and office manager Beth Miller, oversees $95 million in assets. She acts as coordinator for an overall financial plan and hires investment managers that align with clients' goals and risk tolerances.
Earlier this week she traveled to Chicago to serve on a conference panel and to accept a Best Practices Award from Investment News for overall innovation and profitability in a financial advisory firm.
It's a recognition she appreciates from an industry she loves; one that has as its goal an outcome she believes in and takes to heart.
"We're all responsible, ultimately, for our own happiness and for making sure that, whether you're single, married, divorced, in a relationship, that we all should take responsibility for our own well-being."
Fish also feels that "it's very important to give back to the community that has done so much for me."
As evidence, she has served on the board for Project Green Fork, and is the new board chairwoman for Playhouse on the Square. She maintains her love for biology, anatomy and physiology by serving as an ambassador for the Baptist College of Health Sciences and teaching yoga at Midtown Yoga.
But it's not all business.
"I like to have fun," Fish said, and she integrates this playfulness into her philanthropy. She hosts Cocktails for a Cause on the first Friday of every month at the Central Gardens home she shares with her husband, Kelly, a professor of computer and information technology at Arkansas State University, and daughter Adele, a student at Hutchison School.
Attendees are served a signature beverage by a well-known personality in the community, and are asked to donate to the night's nonprofit. Past beneficiaries have included Dorothy Day House, the Memphis Food Bank and the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis. The next one scheduled will help the Wolf River Conservancy.
Fish's own life experiences led her to an epiphany of self-reliance and she now advocates for independence, whether it's financial, vocational or philosophical. She has a passion for empowering women, for bettering her community and for helping her clients to find their own happiness.
"There are a lot of people out there looking for advice and looking for a partner to help them map their future."

PS3 vs. other game systems (aka "did I make the wrong choice?")
(Quick disclaimer: this isn't really a question, just random mumbling... Please be my guest and contribute to the mumbling!)
The new Crunchyroll PS3 app got me thinking as I have a PS3 myself, that it's great how gaming consoles have so much functionality nowadays, but isn't that just distracting us gamers from what matters most in gaming, i.e. the games themselves?!
E.g. I have Sonic Generations on my PS3 and it's a lovely game, but I'm already nearing completion after just a few weeks of casual play here and there. What am I supposed to do when I'm done with it? I checked out other Sonic games, but the PS3 lacks some cool titles, which the Wii has. The Wii also has had cool games like Okami and Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus for a while, I know they're coming to the PS3 "sometime", but if I had a Wii I could be playing those games *now* and maybe pick up Sonic Colors along the way...
Yes, I love DLNA / Wi-Fi media sharing on my PS3, I love the looks of it (the Wii looks like a Fisher Price toy...) and I love the concept, but when I look at the Wii or even Xbox 360, there are just so many more games for those systems which I'd probably enjoy, especially the XBLA section on the Xbox 360... But instead, I let HD and free network play mislead me to buy the PS3, which I have had for about a month now.
I didn't get into console gaming until now because it's always been difficult for me to chose one over another... Prior to the PS3 I had a GameCube (launch day Super Mario Sunshine bundle!), absolutely loved it and didn't care about the PS2 or Xbox at the time, simply because it had everything I wanted without compromises. But it broke down many years ago and I didn't have the time or money to buy another system and new games, and the Nintendo "Revolution" (aka Wii) was rumored to be just around the corner...
...but when I saw the Wii, I was disappointed. Basically a GameCube with wireless motion control, nothing cool about it... And when I look at the upcoming Wii U now, I'm just thinking: "Nintendo, what went wrong?" I used to be a fan of the Big N, even have some Nintendo POWER magazine issues from the 90s to prove it! But I can't stay with Big N if all they do is recycle old hardware and make Fisher Price toys. :(
So, I don't even know what I'm asking here, but I guess what I'm trying to say is: are there others at CR who feel the same? As in, none of the current consoles feel "right" like the last generation. I just want to be able to buy a console, any console, and buy the games I like for it and enjoy gaming. I don't want gaming to become a complex subject that distracts you from the art itself that are the games as they once used to be.
~ Lonely PS3 gamer

9.99usd for Xbox live membership, then membership for CR...
On a side note...
I prefer the Xbox360 for its selection of games.
The PS3 serves as my media entertainment.-with its awesome blu-ray and crunchyroll app
Well, I use Steam mostly, so I would just open another window for crunchyroll and use the actual website. No need a console in the first place.
Out collecting souls to prolong my lifespan

I used to have a 360 but I sold it.. I went to steam for most my gaming, along with the wii a bit for the titles. Xbox - ps3 - steam pretty much all have the same major titles. Nintendo has a lot of exclusives.
There are a few ps3 exclusive titles I want to play, mostly atlus games. I'll get one eventually but I'm in no hurry.
People like me should be herded in to ditches and shot.
Well I bought all 3... I sold the crappy Wii, and the PS3 is just a Blu-ray player now. Xbox 360 wins by a landslide.
I could never abandon my xbox now. I have stuck with it since it first came out but sometimes it has me pissed that they reigon lock so many games...
c: My solution is to buy ALL the consoles and handhelds your money allows, hehehe. Each has its strong points and its weak points. For example...
The Wii has interesting controls, wonderful first party games, and some really unique budget-price releases. It's also really easy to mod so you can get rid of that pesky region lock and play games from other countries! ^^ Unfortunately, it has the lowest volume of releases, and quite a bit of cheaply-made titles to wade through and find the real gems. Also, the online isn't so good.
The Xbox is wonderful if you're a shooter fan and has the best online, but it's also got the most expensive online, and is harder to mod if you enjoy imports.
The PS3 has decent, but free, online, and is awesome if you love RPGs. Unfortunately, it has to system update a LOT, and it seems to disconnect often? [for me at least.] Also, yay Blu-Ray! Yay, no region lock!
Then when you add in handhelds and the PC, there's just so many options! My solution is to find the games and the genres that REALLY appeal to you, wait it out for a bit to see what systems will have the most new releases to look forwards to, and always be on the look out for a hidden treasure. Doesn't matter if it's a budget release, a tiny indie game, some PC freeware, or a new, popular game in a genre you've yet to try, I think ALL systems can be "the best" or "the right choice," if you will. Something for everyone, that's the way to go!

Hi Oscar
I did already have installed the browser on the old one version Iron-18-Lucid.pet.
And I did meet a little problem: This browser protests a bit more than my precedent version on the preinstalled out of date version of the Adobe Flash Player (it is not a old Puppy version: it is the last version coming from Adobe for Linux!).
Ok, as it is possible to select «RUN THIS TIME» I did consider that as a kind of build in flash player blocker
What I really miss are more dictionary for spelling control as my both usual languages are not English but French and German!
Disappointed about the result of the import of bookmarks and favorites only a poor number of the stuff being in /root/.mozilla/firefox (user of seamonkey have rename her directory seamonkey into firefox! perhaps it is the reason of loose of an among of stuff...)
Kind regards

Hello oui,
Thanks for testing and reporting.
I am not an expert on this browser, I just took the generic Linux tarball, did a few tweaks like stripping unneeded and packaged as .sfs and .pet
If you are upgrading from version 18 to 27 that is quite a big jump. It is always possible that not everything will upgrade smoothly.
In Lucid I found that this browser complains that the OS is out of date and will not update, so It may be not ideal for Lucid. OK in more recent Puppies though.
I did include --allow-outdated-plugins in the launcher script and I have no problems running old versions of Flash Player.
Not really sure about the importing of bookmarks. As for dictionaries, are these normally addons which you have to download and install?

I am on an old Lupu 528-005 and loaded it using SFSexec
and the Iron told me that Chrome does not support my OS or Hardware
but everything worked if one just told it to.
Streaming video
and going to html pages and downloading pictures and so on.
So not sure why it say it would not work. it did. I am on an old HP
that have AND dual core 64 bit CPU
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Post subject: Works fine in Precise 5.7
I've got it up and loaded on two different machines, One is my desktop which uses AMD FX4100 on an ASUS A5M97 mobo and a Toshiba Tecra M5 with a 1.66 Intel Core Duo. It's a bit slower to load on the Tecra but once up it's snappy enough. You're going to need more than 512mb RAM to run it properly. I'd recommend something other than Iron/Chrome/Chromium for any older single core that are less then 1.4 ghz processor speed.

Hello OscarTalks,
Thanks for the Iron sfs's and libraries. I have been running Iron as spot in Slacko 5.5. There is a long delay before opening the first web page, during which I get in the console the following messages:
(exe:12664): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_call_sync_internal: assertion `G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
** (exe:12664): CRITICAL **: Unable to contact dconf service
(exe:12664): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_connection_add_filter: assertion `G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed
(printed ten times!)
Finally after ~40s, the web page opens and everything functions normally. This has not happened in other puppies (Precise, Wheezy) or in slacko running Iron as root. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thanks.
Edit: I get the same messages when I run Opera as spot

Hello Wognath,
Sorry, but I don't have any definitive answer for this. The fact that you get the same with Opera suggests something wonky with the system rather than specifically within the browser. I suppose you could try installing the full gconf package from PPM rather than just the lib, but I don't think Opera needs it anyway.
I have never tried running as spot and with these Chromium based browsers I now tend to use Chromium itself rather than Chrome or Iron. I do know that the Chromium code is always in constant development and I have found that (when running as root) I get fewer errors in console with the more recent versions. Versions 26 and 27 would show errors relating to dbus sometimes (although no long delays in opening) but those errors don't show up with version 30. I don't have a version 30 of Iron, but just as an experiment you may wish to try my version 30 of Chromium or the one by peebee in the other threads.

Thank you for your detailed reply. I have tried Chromium, with the same result. Since this is appears to be a problem with Slacko rather than a particular browser, I'll post the issue on the Slacko forum.
Thanks again

Burrell's dunk punctuated St. John's 82-54 win over the hapless New Jersey Institute of Technology.
"It wasn't that hard," Burrell said of the dunk afterwards. "I don't know how it broke. One of our walk-ons said he grabbed the rim during warm ups, so I think he loosened it for me"
Burrell's dunk was just the most memorable part of a game that St. John's dominated.
St John's was lead by guard Paris Horne, who scored 18 points and hit two three-pointers to lead the Red Storm to their fifth straight win. St. John's improved to 7-1 on the season while NJIT fell to 0-7.
NJIT entered the game on an astounding 40-game losing streak and the Highlanders, in the third year of a Division 1 transition, fell behind the Red Storm early. The Red Storm took an 8-0 lead on a 3 pointer by Justin Burrell with 18:22 left in the 1st haft, and pushed lead to 12-3 with 14:18 remaining.
NJIT scored four points to pull within 12-7, but that was close as the Highlanders came the rest of the way, as St. John's put the game away early with a 10-2 run, giving the Red Storm a 22-9 advantage. St. John's defense held steady the rest of the first half, and the Red Storm took a 42-23 lead into the locker room at half time.
The Red Storm came out even faster in the second half, pushing the lead to 23 with 17:34 remaining. However, the game ground to a halt when Burrell slammed home a dunk with 16:57 remaining. The dunk broke the backboard's support arm, and the entire basket and backboard had to be replaced, delaying the game for 35 minutes.
"I've never seen anything like that," coach Norm Roberts said of the situation. Burrell, who claimed to have broken four rims previously, joked that he got his inspiration from a big center in Phoenix.
"You know, I like to study Shaq a lot," Burrell said, drawing laughs from the reporters in attendance. "I try to mimic that as much as possible."
During the break, fans were invited down from the stands to dance at center court with cheerleaders.
Game Notes: Attendance: 808. NJIT was lead in scoring by guard Justin Garris, who finished with 12 points. Seldom-used freshman Phil Wait made an appearance in the first half, grabbing two rebounds and dishing out an assist. Wait, who played a total of eight minutes, received an ovation upon returning to the bench. Burrell and Shawn Evans brought the crowd to its feet with back-to-back dunks late in the first half. Burrell's dunk was a put back; Evans' was a breakaway slam.

Activity Finds: Honolulu
Bishop Museum
Dive into Hawai'i's history with a visit to the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, the state's largest history and science museum featuring collection upon collection of Hawaiian artifacts and documents. Tucked away in Kalihi the museum is a perfect diversion if you're stuck with one of Hawai'i's few-and-far-between rainy days.
Make sure to carve out some time to visit the newly renovated Hawaiian Hall, a perfect place for keiki (children) and families to you learn all about old Hawai'i with exhibits and collections on Native Hawaiian history and culture. The $20-million renovation has taken the hall into the 21st century with new computer technology, lighting and surround sound, offering recorded Hawaiian chants. And for those who have dreamt about doing it, this is your chance to go toe to toe (or nose to fin) with a complete 50-foot sperm whale skeleton suspended in the hall's foyer or get up close and personal with the museum's luxurious collection of Hawaiian regalia.
Waikiki Parc guests can simply flash their Parc key card for complimentary access to the museum, open from 9 p.m. to 5 p.m. except on Tuesdays, when the museum is closed. If your schedule allows, you'll be seeing stars with the Bishop Museum's planetarium shows, which take place daily at 10:30 a.m. (The Sky Tonight), 1:30 p.m. (Explorers of Polynesia) and 3:30 p.m. (Astronomy of Galileo).

KnowledgeBase 00029: Handling Comma Separated Variable Data
QM provides QMBasic statements and a query processor option that make reading and writing comma separated variable data very easy.
CSV Format
There are several variations on comma separated variable format but the implementation defined by RFC4180 is probably the most widely used. This requires that any items containing double quotes or commas are enclosed in double quotes with embedded double quotes replaced by two adjacent double quotes. This is the default behaviour of QM when creating comma separated data.
QM also supports a variation where all non-null values are enclosed in double quotes except for numeric items that do not contain a comma, again replacing embedded double quotes with two adjacent double quotes.
A third variation encloses all values in double quotes with the same handling of embedded double quotes.
Writing CSV Data in QMBasic
The WRITECSV statement writes data in CSV format to a file previously opened with OPENSEQ.
WRITECSV var1, var2, var3 TO fvarThere may be any number of variables forming the data to be written and each field in a variable is treated as a separate element of the CSV output thus allowing an entire CSV item to be constructed from a statement such as
WRITECSV var TO fvarwhere var is a dynamic array. The CSV data is written in the style set by previous use of the CSV.MODE statement or, if this has not been used, the default RFC4180 style.
Reading CSV Data in QMBasic
The READCSV statement reads CSV format data from a file previously opened with OPENSEQ.
READCSV FROM fvar TO var1, var2, var3If there are fewer data items in the line of text than the number of variables supplied, the remaining variables will be set to null strings. If the line of text has more data items than the number of variables supplied, the excess data is ignored. Parsing of the data is subject to the rules selected by the current CSV.MODE setting.
Other QMBasic CSV Operations
There are functions provided to apply the CSV mode rules when converting a string to CSV format, FORMCSV(), and when parsing a CSV item, CSVDQ().
The PRINTCSV statement is similar to WRITTECSV but directs the output to a print unit.
The MATREADCSV statement reads CSV format data, placing each item into successive elements of a dimensioned array.
The INPUTCSV statement is similar to READCSV but reads CSV format data from the keyboard or from data queued with the DATA statement.
The DPARSE.CSV statement provides a more generalised way to parse a CSV item, placing each component into a simple variable, a matrix element or a field, value or subvalue of a dynamic array.
CSV in the Query Processor
The CSV option in a query processor command specifies that the report should be produced in CSV format.
CSV {mode}where the mode selects the rules to be applied and defaults to the RFC4180 format.

"There is no such thing as simple. Simple is hard."
- Martin Scorsese
We believe that the most powerful brands are integrated ones. It's the reason why we offer a broad range of services. Our business model is built for a single purpose - to provide value to our clients. You no longer need to deal with half a dozen agencies to meet your objectives. From branding to web, from photography to printing, whatever your need, we have it. And best of all, we have them under one roof.
Your brand is your voice. Branding is more than simple communication – it is an experience of emotion. Done properly, your brand is the key asset that loudly carries your company's principals, mission and value message. Strong business is built on strong brands.
Test. Measure. Repeat. Then repeat again. Marketing is the sum of business development activities. We define marketing as an all-encompassing business solution composed of various dynamic elements intended to measure, establish or increase revenue over time. Sound complicated? It is, but we know it well.
We create online experiences. This seems simple, but simple can be hard. We are experts in user experience, engagement strategy, information architecture, artful design, precise copywriting and flawless programming development. It takes a lot to be simple.
A picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, maybe – are they the right words? It's debatable. We would suggest that the right picture is worth a thousand words. It isn't always easy to find a stock image that conveys the right nuance of emotion or meaning. When it needs to happen, we can custom shoot photography and video and control every aspect of what you will see.
Search Engine Optimization and Social Media are two terms you'll hear a lot when talking about digital marketing. We've been using them for over ten years and know how to make sure your site is easily found and your message is carried to your audience.
Why do all the "nice" prints have to be expensive? Well, truth is - they don't. We have gone to great lengths to develop a best-in-class print service portfolio to offer our clients incredible printing at incredible prices. ProColor Prints is our print division and we integrate it seamlessly into everything we do.
we love our clients. they say the nicest things.
The Erickson Group has become an important business partner, not only in our re-branding and marketing but also in our continual evolution as a company. They have exceeded our expectations and I look forward to continuing our relationship.
- STEVE WHEATCROFT, CEO - ULS Landscaping
We are proud to partner with the top media outlets in Canada to guide our clients though smart media buying. What you say is critical, but where you say it is just as important.
The Erickson Group team is composed of seasoned senior-level talent but we are really just big kids at heart. We still like telling the boss we're "off to a meeting" which really just means "going golfing", and it seems we've started a tradition where our best ideas are hatched in team meetings where someone inevitably spills coffee immediately after the eureka moment. At the end of the day we're just people that want to do rewarding work and partner with great clients.
And usally we'll even spring for the coffee. We'd much rather have a meeting at a client's office because that's where we get a glimpse into their world. If there is any expectation to create meaningful work, the key us understanding what's important to the business. It can be pretty hard to do that exclusively from emails and voicemail.
Call us old school but we still believe that a handshake means something and that time spent just listening is worth it's weight in gold.
More than just a bunch of creatives. We are fathers, mothers, doting pet owners, loving husbands and devoted wives. We are artists. We are nerds. We are innovators and we are story tellers. We are all connected through the human experience. That's exactly what we bring to our work.
It is all about the experience. Every business has a brand and every brand tells a story. The magic is all in how well you tell that story.
we're just people like you. and like you we don't like sending messages to a generic corporate email account and hoping it gets to someone... eventually. feel free to email our president directly. he loves stuff like that.

The Topkapi Palace dominates the tip of the cape where Istanbul's old city is located. For almost 400 years, this was the symbolic and political centre of the Ottoman Empire. Once home to the sultan and his harem, the palace is now a beautiful museum. The palace, which encompasses several buildings, charming courtyards and splendid gardens, is now open to the public.
The Topkapi Palace was built between 1460 and 1478 as the main residence of Mehmet the Conqueror of Constantinople. The building is a stone version of the tent camps of the nomadic Ottomans. Once you pass through the entry gate with its white towers you enter the world of the Ottoman sultans. The kitchen displays a huge collection of Chinese porcelain which was brought to Turkey via the Silk Route. For an additional fee you may also see the living quarters of the women who were part of the sultans' harem.
A visit to the palace's harem with more than 400 rooms that housed the Sultan's women, the female slaves and children is very worthwhile. There is an additional fee to visit this part of the palace, so it is usually pretty quiet here. The lovely rooms with high ceilings and elegantly decorated walls with colourful tiles give the impression that the women lived in comfortable quarters. Unfortunately this wasn't the case for most other residents. Many women in the harem, who had been taken from Georgia or the Caucasus, or who had been captured on European crusades, lived in dangerous and unhygienic conditions.
The women who were invited into the sultan's bed received special privileges. If they gave birth to his child, they moved even further up the rank and may have been entitled to their own apartment. The sultan's bedroom with an enormous golden canopy bed is one of the most beautiful rooms in the harem.
During their 470-year reign, the sultans amassed an enormous collection of riches. The collection of Chinese porcelain in the palace's kitchen is unparalleled by any other collection in the world outside of China. Celadon, the earliest Chinese porcelain, is jade-coloured. The Ottomans were very fond of it because they believed that it neutralised any poison in their food. The sultans' gowns are still very well preserved because after the death of a sultan, the garments were carefully stored in sealed bags. Admire the beautiful caftan of Mehmet II, on display in the Hall of the Campaign Pages, which used to house the palace's wardrobes.

Miranda Kerr is a St. Barts Beauty
Miranda Kerr poses on the beach while on photo shoot for Victoria's Secret in St. Barts on Sunday (January 18).
When asked about the recent engagement rumors surrounding Miranda and Orlando Bloom, she told the Herald Sun, "It is not true."
After a photo shoot in Venice, "We found this great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, where it was Mama's home cooking," the 25-year-old model said. "We had some wonderful food there. It was delicious – so that kept me happy."
"It's challenging," Miranda said of all the attention. "What you have to do is not get too worried about it. You have to continue to live your life and try to keep things as private as possible because the rest of our lives are so public."

Unlicensed drivers in California -- the vast majority of whom are illegal immigrants -- are nearly three times as likely to cause a fatal crash as licensed drivers, according to a study by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The report suggests that merely meeting the modest requirements necessary to get a license -- passing a written exam and driving test -- could improve road safety and help reduce the several thousand fatalities that occur in the state each year.
"If you don't hold people accountable to acceptable standards, then we get people that aren't prepared and don't have the skill set," said Tyler Izen, president of the Los Angeles Police Protective League.
The recently released DMV report is the agency's first significant analysis of unlicensed drivers in 15 years and adds fuel to the debate over whether illegal immigrants should be eligible for licenses.

Bhut jolokia
|Bhut jolokia
|Hybrid parentage
|Capsicum chinense × Capsicum frutescens
|Assam, Northeast India
|Exceptionally hot
|Scoville scale
The Bhut jolokia (IPA: [ˈbʱʊt.zɔˌlɔkiˌja]), also known as ghost pepper, ghost chili, U-morok, red naga, naga jolokia, and ghost jolokia, is an interspecific hybrid chili pepper cultivated in the Northeast Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland and Manipur.[1][2] It is a hybrid of Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens and is closely related to the Naga Morich of Bangladesh.[3]
In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. The ghost chili is rated at more than 1 million Scoville heat units (SHUs). However, the ghost chili was shortly superseded by the Infinity chili in 2011, followed by the Naga Viper, the Trinidad moruga scorpion in 2012 and the Carolina Reaper on August 7, 2013.[4]
The chili is named differently in different regions. In Assam, it is widely known as bhût zôlôkia (ভোট জলকীয়া) or bih zôlôkiya. In some parts of Assam, this chili is called nôga zôlôkia (নগা জলকীয়া), believed to be named after the ferocious Naga warriors inhabiting the plains and hills of Nagaland.[5] Further complicating matters, a 2009 paper coined the English term "Naga king chili" which refers to the chili's large pod size.[6][7] This is probably because the chili has long been colloquially known as Raja mircha or Raja mirchi in Nagaland. It also stated that the most common Indian (Assamese) usage is bhût zôlôkiya (ভোট জলকীয়া) and gives the alternate common name as bih zôlôkia (বিহ জলকীয়া, bih means "poison" in Assamese, denoting the plant's heat). The Assamese word zôlôkia simply means the Capsicum pepper. Other usages on the subcontinent are saga jlokia, Indian mystery chili, and Indian rough chili (after the chili's rough skin).[6][8] It has also been called the Tezpur chili after the Assamese city of Tezpur.[5] In Manipur, the chili is called umorok or oo-morok (oo = "tree", morok = "chili"). The Kukis called it "Malcha-Phoh" meaning "the most pungent chilli".[9]
Scoville rating[edit]
In 2000, India's Defence Research Laboratory (DRL) reported a Scoville rating of 855,000 SHUs,[10] and in 2004 a rating of 1,041,427 SHUs was made using HPLC analysis.[11] For comparison, Tabasco red pepper sauce rates at 5000–10,000, and pure capsaicin (the chemical responsible for the pungency of pepper plants) rates at 16,000,000 SHUs.
In 2005, New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute in Las Cruces, New Mexico,[12] found Bhut jolokia grown from seed in southern New Mexico to have a Scoville rating of 1,001,304 SHUs by HPLC.[1]
Climate has a considerable effect on the heat of these peppers. A 2005 study showed that Bhut jolokia peppers grown in Tezpur (Assam) are more than twice as hot as those grown in Gwalior's more arid climate.[13] Elsewhere in India, scientists at Manipur University measured its average Scoville rating by HPLC at only 329,100 SHUs.[9]
Unlike most peppers, Bhut jolokia produces capsaicin in vesicles found in both the placenta around the seeds and throughout the fruit, rather than just the placenta.[14]
Ripe peppers measure 60 to 85 mm (2.4 to 3.3 in) long and 25 to 30 mm (1.0 to 1.2 in) wide with a red, yellow, orange, or chocolate color. The unselected strain of Bhut jolokia from India is an extremely variable plant, with a wide range in fruit sizes and fruit production per plant, and offers a huge potential for developing much better strains through selection in the future. Bhut jolokia pods are unique among peppers, with their characteristic shape, and very thin skin.[15] However, the red fruit variety has two different fruit types, the rough, dented fruit and the smooth fruit. The images on this page show examples of both the rough and the smooth fruit. The rough fruit plants are taller, with more fragile branches, and the smooth fruit plants yields more fruit, and is a more compact plant with sturdier branches.[16] It takes about 7–12 days to germinate at 32–38 °C.
Bhut jolokia is used as a food and a spice, as well as a remedy to summer heat.[2] It is used in both fresh and dried forms, to "heat up" curries, pickles and chutneys. It is popularly used in combination with pork or dried or fermented fish. In northeastern India, the peppers are smeared on fences or incorporated in smoke bombs as a safety precaution to keep wild elephants at a distance.[17][18] The pepper's intense heat makes it a fixture in competitive chili pepper eating.[19]
Defense Project[edit]
In 2009, scientists at India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) announced plans to use the peppers in hand grenades, as a nonlethal way to flush out terrorists from their hideouts and to control rioters. It would also be developed into pepper spray as a self-defence and antirape product.[20][21] The DRDO said bhut jolokia-based aerosol sprays could be used as a "safety device", and "civil variants" of chili grenades could be used to control and disperse mobs.[22]
Chili grenades made from Bhut jolokia were successfully used by the Indian Army in August 2015 to flush out terrorist Sajjad Ahmed, who was hiding in a cave.[23]
In August 2016, home minister of India, Rajnath Singh announced that Indian security forces will replace controversial pellet guns with pepper grenades.[24]
Dorset Naga[edit]
The Dorset Naga is a substrain of the original Naga, selected from the Bangladeshi varieties of the chili, Naga morich.[25]
Annually, since 2005, the heat level of Dorset Naga has been tested, taking samples from different sites, various seasons, and states of maturity. The heat level has ranged from 661,451 SHUs for green fruit in 2007, up to 1,032,310 SHUs for ripe fruit harvested in 2009.[26]
High as the results were, the BBC's Gardeners' World television programme recorded a much higher heat level for Dorset Naga. As part of the 2006 programming, the BBC gardening team ran a trial looking at several chili varieties, including Dorset Naga. Heat levels were tested by Warwick HRI, and the Dorset Naga came in at 1,598,227 SHUs, one of the hottest heat levels ever recorded for a chili.[25][27]

Van Allen, James Alfred
James Alfred Van Allen, 1914–2006, American physicist and space scientist, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. A graduate (Ph.D 1939) of and professor of physics (1951–85) at what is now the Univ. of Iowa, where he was an influential teacher, Van Allen discovered what are now known as the Van Allen radiation belts, regions of intense radiation surrounding the earth in space. The belts were first identified by instruments Van Allen prepared that were launched in U.S. Explorer and Pioneer satellites (1958).
During his long, productive career, Van Allen helped develop (1940–42) a proximity fuse for antiaircraft ammunition and subsequently served as a naval gunnery officer in World War II. After the war, he conducted high-altitude research using rockets and balloons, and discovered (1953) the electrons associated with the aurora borealis. Van Allen also was prominent among the scientists who proposed (1950) and organized the international scientific research program that became the International Geophysical Year (1957–58).
Although he supported the development of the U.S. space exploration efforts that culminated in the Apollo space program and moon landings (1969–72), the relative paucity of scientific data reaped by human spaceflight led him to champion the use of space probes and satellites. He subsequently studied the radiation belts of Jupiter and Saturn using data from Pioneer probes and participated in the Galileo mission to Jupiter.
