TRACY - Coming off their most successful season under Ripon High head coach Chris Johnson, the Indians remain motivated in preparation for the 2012 season.
The Manteca Futbol Club Alliance Club captured the Davis Legacy Showcase Tournament in Davis recently. The Manteca based club got its weekend off to a good start, posting a 6-1 win over Diablo FC Blue the Crew and then a 6-0 win over Mustang Soccer Velocity.
TRACY - Lathrop High's football team didn't participate in any 7-on-7 passing scrimmages in past summers.

STOCKTON – Throughout Weston Ranch head coach Mike Hale's tenure guiding the Cougars, one glaring weakness has always plagued the program: numbers.
STOCKTON - After closing the season a week prior to the Sac-Joaquin Section Football playoffs, Sierra High is looking to improve its chances at a postseason berth this year by attacking the summer circuit running.
STOCKTON – Building on the most successful season in school history is the plan.
In six weeks, East Union, looking to improve from a 1-9 season under second-year head coach Willie Herrera, will kick off its 2012 season with a zero-week contest against St. Mary's.
Shakira Lewis wasn't sure how far her first, and what was initially thought of to be last, venture in track and field would take her.
Bret Wilson's first and only season on the Sierra High track and field team started promising but ended in heartbreak.
After an opening act that culminated in Sierra High's first-ever Sac-Joaquin Section softball title, Allison Walljasper came into her sophomore season toting huge expectations.
In a season in which the Ripon Christian baseball program landed its first league title and first win in the Sac-Joaquin Section postseason, Colby De Vries definitely left his prints on it.
Often one of the littlest players on the pitch, Isela Rivera draws attention from opposing defenses and spectators with her big game and big personality.
When Corey Winter completed his first season competing at the high school level he thought for certain that he'd improve his sophomore year.

I really appreciate the great plugin making our job easier. However it has some performance issues. The JS and CSS are loaded even when the custom contact form is not included on my site page, this increases the load time providing a bad user experience. :(
How can I customize to include the related assets only when custom contact form is present on the page?
While I was analyzing the load time, I found this. I tried minifying the JS and CSS using the online tools which I myself created, but how to programmatically ignore the assets which are not required on the page?!

Solvay, Ineos Said to Plan Site Sale for $5.7 Billion Merger
Solvay SA and Ineos Group Holdings, which plan to merge their European vinyl chloride assets in a 4.3 billion-euro ($5.7 billion) deal, may sell a German site to help win regulatory approval, according to people familiar with the matter.
Ineos's site in Schkopau, with the capacity to make about 150,000 tons of PVC a year, may fetch about 60 million euros, said two of the people, who asked not to be identified because the plan isn't public. The two companies are putting together a proposal that may be delivered to European Commission regulators this month in order to divest the plant this year, they said.
The merger of their vinyl chloride assets, announced in May, may allow the companies to cut costs in areas from transport to marketing and raise profitability at a commodity business suffering from inflated raw material and energy costs. The PVC industry is facing overcapacity and weak demand in Europe, contrasting with shortfalls in markets like India.
"We are making good progress in the planned creation of our chlorovinyls joint venture," Lamia Narcisse, a Solvay spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. "It is possible that the European Commission will require us and Ineos to divest some plants in order for them to grant clearance."
The two companies are looking at what remedies the commission may demand and the viability of each option, Narcisse said in an e-mail. Ineos declined to comment.
PVC Woes
Brussels-based Solvay, the world's largest maker of guar-derived gelling agents used in hydraulic fracturing, plans to exit the PVC venture at a later stage.
Bidders for Schkopau will also have to budget for inflated raw material and energy costs that have soured prior investments in PVC.
The future of vinyl product producer Kem One is in jeopardy following its sale by Arkema SA to industrial investor Klesch Group, which has sought compensation for the transaction because of alleged inaccuracies in the financial information provided.
Kem One is in receivership and negotiating with three potential suitors -- an investment fund, a buyout firm, and a union -- it said in a statement yesterday. A private individual has also expressed interest in the industrial side of the business, Kem One said.
Advent International Corp. has been locked into its purchase of PVC maker Vinnolit since 2000.

Angular cheilitis (also called perlèche, cheilosis, or stomatitis) is a condition with deep cracks and splits at the corners of the mouth. If severe, the splits or cracks may bleed when the mouth is opened and a shallow ulcer or a crust may form.
Possible causes of angular cheilitis include:
In young children, the cracks and splits often begin with lip-licking, biting the corners of the mouth, or thumb-sucking.
Treatment depends on the cause and can include lip lubrication, antifungal and antibiotic medicine, vitamins, and dentures for a person without teeth.

Hi Chouby,
I have a request: Could you make it happen that the language switcher adds a third class to each language link next to 'lang-item lang-item-(n)' which would say more about the actual language? Something like the language short slug so the list items would be something like:
<li class="lang-item lang-item-(n) fr">
I need this for custom language flags on a multi-site installation where it is not possible to create the dir /wp-content/polylang/ to store custom flags because that would impact all other sites that use Polylang on the same network... My only solution seems to be to use CSS to hide the plugins IMG tags and then set the ones from my theme as background image to the A tag.
Hope I explained this clear enough :)

Released: Jun 01st, 1990
Running Time: 73
Director: Gordeon van der Meer

Cast: Marc Wallice, Brittany (I), Gregor Samsa, Ebony Ayes, Sean Michael, Rachel Ryan, Tracey Adams
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
What this feature lacks in a strong storyline, it makes up in the gorgeous girls and sexy action departments. The slim plot has call girls Rachel Ryan, Ebony Ayes and Brittany servicing clients and roommate Tracey Adams seeing that there are big bucks to be made. She takes Ryan's place on a date (Gregor Samsa) and he likes her so much that he buys the company, or he hires her as his executive secretary at two grand a week.
Rachel and Tracey are really into it in the obligatory girl-girl scene, and newcomer Brittany (aka Tiffany) has a pretty smile, nice body and a good fortune. Of the boy-girl action, tops is the Rachel Ryan/Marc Wallice set. This one has what your big chest customers are looking for, but I can't be the only one who isn't able to keep track of which entry in the series is which.

Responses of stomata to humidity, light intensity, and leaf water status were investigated throughout a growth season under field conditions for five competing woody species dominating in various stages of a Central European hedgerow. Humidity sensitivity of stomata varied between species. Leaf conductance to H2O, g, as measured in steady-state humidity response curves under constant climatic conditions, remained on high summer levels in Prunus and Crataegus, and on a lower level in Acer, but fell from a high spring level to a low summer level in Ribes and Rubus. The effect of partial stomatal closure in dry air on CO2 uptake, A, varied seasonally and between species. Responses of stomata to light, measured by tracking gas exchange in the field but for controlled climatic conditions, were hyperbolic, similar to CO2 assimilation. The relationship between g and A at variable irradiance was always linear and depended on the species investigated and on the leaf age. In no case did stomata respond to short-term (hourly) changes in leaf water potential (up to 13.5 bar).
A low leaf conductance level appeared to be correlated with low hydraulic conductivity in the plant, G, whereas high G in most cases coincided with high stomatal conductances. In Ribes and Rubus G and stomatal opening at maximum CO2 uptake varied in parallel during the season at high soil water content, suggesting a root/stomata interaction independent of plant water status. Water use efficiency (WUE, at certain leaf/air water vapour concentration differences), as determined from light and humidity responses of stomata and CO2 assimilation, was high in species of low G (Ribes, Rubus), and low in species of high G (Prunus, Crataegus). Surprisingly, species of low WUE optimized gas exchange in the sense of Cowan and Farquhar's (1977) theory, where stomata maximized CO2 uptake at a certain water loss within a certain period, while species of high WUE did not optimize in this sense. Other control mechanisms at the leaf level independent from optimization may be involved.
It appeared that low G and loss of humidity sensitivity of stomata in Ribes limited distribution of this species outside the half shade of the hedgerow, as exposed plant parts desiccated on dry days. However, water use efficiency per se did not determine species-specific competitive ability, as it was highest in species of low competitive strength.

The ICO Conveyor Belt Arrestor has been designed and developed to catch (arrest) any incline conveyor belt that brakes or snaps due to normal wear and tear on incline conveyor systems. The Conveyor Belt Arrestor is mounted below the head pulley where the most belt breakages occur.
The Conveyor Belt Arrestor catches both the top and bottom conveyor belts within 0.3 of a second and prevents it from running back down the incline. Both ends are then in close proximity to facilitate easy splicing.
Sasol Sigma - 1,800mm Conveyor Belt. Arrestor activated with belt caught.
PPC Dwaalboom - 900mm Conveyor Belt. Arrestor activated with full load.
Phola Coal Processing Plant - 1,500mm Conveyor Belt. Arrestor activated successfully with full load.

NEW YORK (October 21, 2013)--Actor Chris Noth, the star of "Law & Order" and "Sex and the City," is appearing with a cast of eight cellos Monday at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
He's narrating a show called "Angel Heart," a family concert based on a new CD storybook about a girl whose heart is broken and then healed on a journey with some fantastical creatures.
The story by best-selling children's writer Cornelia Funke comes with songs created for voices, cellos and mandolins by Luna Pearl Woolf.
Noth says that life is "spinning so fast" now that children such as his 5-year-old son should slow down and awaken their imaginations with just words and sounds.
The Brooklyn Youth Chorus joins Monday's performance.

Eastern North Pacific Tropical Weather Discussion
000 AXPZ20 KNHC 240947 TWDEP Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 855 UTC Sun Jul 24 2016 Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from the Equator to 32N, east of 140W. The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar, and meteorological analysis. Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0830 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Hurricane Georgette is centered at 14.5N 123.9W at 0900 UTC, or about 1085 nm west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Georgette is moving WNW or 290 degrees at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds have increased slightly to 70 kt with gusts to 85 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure has dropped to 988 mb. A tight concentric pattern of convection continues to surround Georgette's center. Scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection is noted within 75 nm of the center, while scattered moderate convection is present elsewhere within 180 nm of the center. Georgette is expected to continue moving WNW during the next couple of days but begin to weaken during the next 12 hours. Refer to the latest NHC forecast advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP3/WTPZ23 KNHC for more details. Tropical Storm Frank is centered at 19.9N 111.8W at 0900 UTC, or about 240 nm south-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. Frank is moving WNW, or 305 degrees at 7 kt. Maximum sustained winds remain 55 kt with gusts to 65 kt while estimated minimum central pressure stays at 996 mb. Frank continues to move under NE upper-level wind shear, which is displacing most of the deep convection to the southwest of the center. Scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection is noted within 45 nm of the center. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is found elsewhere from 15N to 21N between 109W and 115W. Frank is expected to continue moving NW during the next couple of days and remain under the influence of this northeast upper-level wind shear. This will discourage intensification of Frank. Frank is not expected to change much in intensity during the next 24 hours. Large S to SE swell from Frank will impact the Mexican coastlines from the Cabo Corrientes region to Baja California Sur during the next couple of days and shift northward into central portions of the Baja Peninsula Monday. This will generate rough and dangerous surf along the local coastlines. Refer to the latest NHC forecast advisory under AWIPS/WMO headers MIATCMEP2/WTPZ22 KNHC for more details. Also see latest high seas forecast under AWIPS/WMO headers MIAHSFEP2/FZPN03 KNHC for more details on the wave forecasts associated with these systems. ...TROPICAL WAVE... A tropical wave north of 11N near 98W is just W of the Gulf of Tehuantepec region and is moving into southwestern Mexico and the adjacent coastal waters. The wave has little associated convection. A second tropical wave extends from the eastern Yucatan Peninsula southward to the Pacific waters along 90W. This wave will shift to the W over southeastern Mexico and the adjacent near and offshore coastal waters during the next 24-36 hours. The wave will continue to spawn active convection. ..INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH... The monsoon trough extends from near 09N84W to 10N94W to 08N102W to 09N106W. The ITCZ extends from 09N135W to beyond 08N140W. Widely scattered moderate convection is present from 04N to 12N E of 108W. Scattered moderate convection is seen within 240 nm N of the ITCZ between 131W and 138W. ...DISCUSSION... North of 15N and east of 120W: The center of Frank has crossed the Revillagigedo Islands and has begun moving away to the NW. Frank continues to generate large SE swell that has reaching the southern entrance of the Gulf of California between Cabo San Lucas and Cabo Corrientes. Offshore seas of 6 to 9 ft are present in this area. Seas of 8 to 12 ft will cover the Pacific offshore waters off Baja California Sur through early Monday, away from the immediate vicinity of Frank. This will create rough and hazardous marine conditions across the offshore waters, and large and powerful surf along the exposed coastal areas of Baja California Sur. Large waves and very strong rip currents will dominate these coastlines throughout the weekend. As Frank moves NW Monday and Tuesday, it will encounter cooler waters and begin to weaken over the open Pacific. A surface ridge extends from north of the area through 30N135W to W of Baja California Sur near 21N119W. Moderate southerly flow will persist across the Gulf of California between the ridge and resident troughing wandering over the peninsula. These southerly winds could increase to 15 to 20 kt over the far northern portions of the Gulf of California early this morning as high pressure builds to the northwest. The building high pressure will also support strong N winds offshore of California this morning through Sunday, allowing N swell to cause seas to build to 8 ft or higher and propagate southward to 26N by Sunday. Combined seas of 7 to 9 ft will develop in the offshore waters off Baja California Norte Sunday into early next week in mixed swell. South of 15N and east of 120W: Moderate to locally fresh E winds are expected across and just downstream of the Gulf of Papagayo during the overnight hours during the next several days. The winds will be augmented by nocturnal drainage flow. Farther W, Georgette has moved to the W of the area, taking the associated strong winds and seas 8 ft or greater with it. West of 120W: Post-tropical cyclone Estelle was centered to the W of the forecast area at 24N142W at 0900 UTC moving westward at around 15 kt. Satellite imagery continues to show a low level cloud swirl surrounding the low with no significant convection. Associated winds and seas will gradually diminish through the weekend as Estelle continues to weaken and move farther W of the area. However, this remnant low continues to produce a weakness in the subtropical ridge. This has resulted in a light wind regime persisting over the deep tropics. Fresh N winds and shorter period swell of 7 to 9 ft will push south of 32N to 26N between 120W and 136W Sunday until the middle of next week. $$ CAM

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Diet Tips
PAH & Your Diet
PAH & Your Diet
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a condition in which the arteries that carry oxygen-rich blood to your lungs are constricted. If you have PAH, you might experience dizziness, fainting, nausea, and difficulty breathing.
You can take control of your PAH by making healthy choices and staying dedicated to your new routine. What you eat is especially important. Some foods raise blood pressure, while others can cause weight gain.
Click through the slideshow to find out how you can change your diet to keep PAH in check.
Cut Back on Salt & Sodium
Cut Back on Salt & Sodium
One of the most common bits of advice you'll hear from doctors is to lower your salt intake. Salt hides in many packaged, pickled, and canned foods, so choosing fresh ingredients can help limit the amount of sodium you consume. Try tasting your food before adding salt. Many people add salt out of habit, but a little goes a long way.
Bonus tip: If you're worried about losing flavor, try experimenting with spices like cumin and herbs like garlic.
Limit Fluids
Limit Fluids
Many PAH patients are placed on a two-liter fluid restriction, but you should talk to your doctor about the appropriate amount for you. Keeping track of your weight may help you assess proper fluid consumption. If you experience weight gain over the course of a day, you may be getting more fluids than you need. Avoid drinking too many fluids to prevent fluid buildup.
Stay Away from Stimulants
Stay Away from Stimulants
Avoiding caffeine and other stimulants, such as alcohol, is necessary for regulating your blood pressure. Try tea and coffee substitutes like chicory if you like a hot beverage in the mornings. Carbonated juices and "mock-tails" (non-alcoholic cocktails) can replace a drink at the end of the day.
Bonus tip: Cutting back on stimulants might also lead to better sleep.
Relieve Nausea
Relieve Nausea
Many people with PAH report that new treatments make them nauseated. To help ease this side effect, try eating smaller meals and cutting back on high-fat. Dry toast and plain, unsalted crackers may make you feel better when you're queasy. Avoiding sodas and adding natural remedies like ginger to your diet might help too.
Bonus tip: Just be sure to make any dietary changes gradually, so you don't overwhelm your body.
Iron Up
Iron Up
A study conducted in 2009 found that PAH is aggravated when your body lacks iron. Try incorporating more red meat and dark, leafy greens into your diet. Your body will better absorb iron if you include foods rich in vitamin C such as tomatoes, bell peppers, and broccoli.
Bonus tip: Fresh citrus juices or a few slices of mango or papaya are good sources of vitamin C too—and a great addition to a healthy breakfast.
Get More Garlic
Get More Garlic
One study researched the effects of garlic on rats with PAH. The study found that a compound in garlic called allicin helped to widen blood vessels and keep blood pressure down. Add raw or cooked garlic to dishes to help keep blood pressure down.
Bonus tip: Make sure to eat garlic within an hour of chopping it, or you won't receive the benefits that allicin provides.
Don't Overdo Vitamin K
Don't Overdo Vitamin K
Though dark, leafy greens are a good source of iron, they also contain a considerable amount of vitamin K. However, too much of this vitamin may affect how well your blood-thinning medicine works. This conflict might sound confusing, but it's possible to find a balance and satisfy your body's need for iron while monitoring your vitamin K intake. Ask your doctor how much is safe to allow into your diet.
Keep a Journal
Keep a Journal
It's important to remember that each body is different and will react uniquely to changes in diet. If you're going through a diet makeover, you might benefit from a food diary. It can help you stay on track and monitor how certain foods affect your body.
Your diary doesn't have to be extensive. Jot down when you eat, what you eat, and how you feel each day. This will help you discover what makes your body feel its best, and help your doctor to better understand your condition.
Know Your Body
Know Your Body
Managing your PAH is critical to how you feel and could even save your life. It's important to work with your doctor to develop a plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
It's true that there are more dietary restrictions when you suffer from PAH, but that doesn't mean that the quality of your meals needs to suffer. In fact, you may find that your new diet, even without the caffeine, leaves you feeling more energetic than before.

Spore, the new evolution game from Electronic Arts, is one of the most anticipated and hyped games to be released in recent memory. Electronic Arts implemented a strict DRM (Digital Rights Management) copyright protection called SecuROM that limits the number of computers the game can be installed on to three. This limit can be increased if a consumer calls customer support.
The fan backlash was very negative and swift as thousands of people rushed to Amazon.com to give the game a one-star ratings causing Amazon to temporarily disable its user review system. Comments such as "Draconian" and "Insult to legitimate customers" flooded the comments section.
Electronic Arts responded to the criticism in a Gamasutra article claiming the three computer limit was designed to address the needs of the majority of consumers while still limiting piracy. According to Electronic Arts own statistics, less than 25 percent have activated Spore on a second PC and less than one percent asked to activate on a third PC. As of September 12 -- when the Gamasutra article was written -- there were 453,048 activations of the Spore Creature Creator alone. 77 percent activated on only one machine, 23 percent activated more than one, and only 1 percent of users tried to activate on more than three machines. These arguments from Electronic Arts appear to miss the point as the backlash is occurring over the fact there is any limit at all and not the number of PCs you are limited to.
Electronic Arts also argues the DRM system saves consumers the hassle of having to have a disc in the drive using a onetime online authentication system as an alternative. In the Gamasutra article, Mariam Sughayer of EA's corporate communications said, "EA has not changed our basic DRM copy protection system. We simply changed the copy protection method from using the physical media, which requires authentication every time you play the game by requiring a disc in the drive, to one which uses a one-time online authentication."
Sughayer compared Spore's authentication to iTunes, which has a similar DRM system that limits the number of computers content purchased from iTunes can be played. She also stressed that installing the game doesn't transmit user information any further than as a "fingerprint" required to authenticate a user, and reports that it installs spyware or malware are "absolutely false."
In addition to Electronic Arts, Maxis also responded to the criticism on game website GamingSteve. Caryl Shaw, online producer for Spore sent GamingSteve a note repeating many of the same points pointed out by Electronic Arts:
One ironic statement released to the gaming community by Electronic Arts stated, "You can install the game on three computers – at your office, at home or for your family. What you can't do is make and distribute a thousand copies online." This is exactly what is happening as stated in a Torrentfreak article; many would-be buyers have chosen to pirate the game because of the invasive DRM.
On Saturday, Torrentfreak wrote that the game had already been downloaded more than 500,000 times on BitTorrent sites. This download rate exceeds that of any other pirated game in history, and in a week or two from now it will be the most pirated game ever on BitTorrent based on Torrentfreak statistics.
For comparison Crysis, one of the best selling PC games of this year has only been downloaded 420,000 times since it was released in November 2007. Although the record breaking piracy of Spore cannot be attributed solely to consumers rejecting the DRM implemented within it, it most likely helped.
quote: Why can't PC game software publishers adopt USB software keys? Would it be to costly?
quote: Why can't PC game software publishers adopt USB software keys?
quote: This game comes with three activations via the internet. I still play Planescape: Torment which was published in 1999 (9 years ago). Will you be allowed to activate Mass Effect in 2017 (9 years from now)? This system is more about limiting your ability to resell the game you purchased than preventing piracy.
quote: How much did this DRM cost EA to implement?
quote: Probably much less than the 30 million less money they wouldnt have made, had it been pirated as many times as Crysis, which was about two legit users for everyone pirate.(and thats just via torrents)
quote: Problem is, Spore has already been pirated more times than Crysis.
quote: Once again, how does not being able to install the game on more than 3 machines stop piracy, when the game was available for simple download for a week before it came out?
quote: The fun part about debating is if you bring a point forward, it is your responsibility to prove said claim
quote: Numbers do lie, and are twisted in many ways to do so all the time.
quote: People will buy it rather than face the wrath of the DRM? When they can just pirate it and avoid it all?
quote: I can't seem to wrap my head around why everyone thinks that the average persons biggest concern is DRM when buying a game.
quote: When I go to buy a game I care about one thing, going home and playing that game...
quote: not worrying about how many times I can install it.
quote: And to state the quite obvious point, how many sales has EA lost because of it?
quote: The point is DRM only serves to screw legitimate paying customers and absolutely nothing to stop pirates. See how the cracks of the game released before the game is shipped? See the record breaking piracy rate?
quote: According to Electronic Arts own statistics, less than 25 percent have activated Spore on a second PC and less than one percent asked to activate on a third PC. As of September 12 -- when the Gamasutra article was written -- there were 453,048 activations of the Spore Creature Creator alone. 77 percent activated on only one machine, 23 percent activated more than one, and only 1 percent of users tried to activate on more than three machines.
quote: Developers hate EB/Gamestop for selling used games.
quote: That's nothing to do with DRM though.
quote: This limit can be increased if a consumer calls customer support.
quote: DRM that limits "activations" of the software (despite knowing that gamers are frequent re-formatters of their computer and how inconvenient such a scheme is for the legit buyer, especially when a CD key would generally suffice for the supposed problem the activation scheme is claimed to combat.)
quote: Sughayer compared Spore's authentication to iTunes, which has a similar DRM system that limits the number of computers content purchased from iTunes can be played.
quote: Ever wonder why game dev's are focusing what mostly seems like console games?
quote: Don't make EA out to look like the bad guy here, 10 years ago when PC gaming was at its highest, a four year old could download a game and crack it, which resulted in a huge percentage of users merely pirating games.
quote: http://news.filefront.com/epic-shifting-focus-to-c...
quote: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060712-7247...
quote: Crytek, the studio that created the hardware intensive Far Cry and Crysis games exclusively for PC, has repeatedly stated that the upcoming Crysis Warhead will be its last PC-only game due to the abundant piracy of PC games.
quote: Another Fact: Distribution of cracked software is nothing new...sure, it happens on a larger scale now that more people are aware of it and more people have broadband connections, but those people were most likely never going to buy the software in the first place.
quote: A smart game developer will simply acknowledge that any software will be pirated and focus on selling it...perhaps it is better to design software in such a way that the cracked version gives up critical functionality...
quote: how many "cracked" copies of WoW are there? :)
quote: Blah blah blah blah.. are you a gaming dev? Go read what the big developers like Epic and Crytek have to say about PC gaming. What does last PC-only game mean to you? Don't come in here blasting me when you obviously have not done your homework. Developers are jumping ship, this is fact, not merely something I am speculating.
quote: Hardly fact, I see a point, but I don't see proof. I have already shown that a game like Crysis with no DRM is pirated on a scale of 1 download per 2 bought games, meanwhile spore sits around 1 downloaded for every 4 bought.
quote: Yes because gaming devs work with crackers before release just to make sure that the game is crippled when cracked and won't give full functionality. And yes, its smart for a game dev to make a better game, only to have it pirated by more people, when if they made the choice to make a console only game, they could have almost no piracy, a potentially bigger and more lucrative market. Makes sense to me..
quote: Wow is authenticated on logon because its an online game, why would you even try to compare? This is basically a form of DRM, as it limits its users to only paid subscribers. P.S I don't deny that for every piece of software, there will always be those who pirate it, but to say that because of this no counter measures should be put in place is basically shooting PC gaming in the foot, and watching it bleed out. The market will never die, but it won't come close to what it used to be if something is not done about it.
quote: EA and their like need to come up with a system which doesn't punish legitimate users, end of.
quote: Cause last I just checked, this is the most pirated game in history, most likely stemming from the fact that it has the DRM in the first place.
quote: They need to get used to the fact that things will always be pirated, and just make a better product, and people will buy it.
quote: And if you ONLY have time to play the game OR screw around on the phone with them? No thanks ill be bypassing that BS. Have fun on the phone, moron.
quote: Regardless of DRM, I stopped with EA games in the 90's, when I realised that they continually pumped out the EA Sports games so regularly, that they couldn't be any good. Always used to wait for LucasArts to release theirs...
quote: Now correct me if I am wrong but simple math shows me...
quote: EA is 100% in the right here. Draconian or not, allowing their product to be easily copied and distributed on the internet without any protection would be a complete disservice to its own employees.

AMHERST, Mass. -- Next to Jenn Salling, the Mona Lisa's smirk looks like an ear-to-ear grin.
As the University of Washington's starting shortstop, Salling wears a perpetual scowl of concentration on and around the field as if, like cleats, pants and a jersey, it's a part of the uniform. But in no small part because of Salling, Washington is all smiles as it prepares to take on Georgia Tech in a super regional beginning Saturday (ESPN, noon ET). It took the All-American a long time to find her way to Seattle, but the wait was well worth it for the Huskies.
And whatever the emotions that mark her outward countenance, that's a feeling that cuts both ways. Salling has played in the Olympics, World Championships and even an NCAA tournament before, but this year is different for the British Columbia native who has been eligible to play for the Huskies for all of a month and a half.
"I'm happier where I'm at, and I think that's what the difference is," Salling said. "My family is always here with me; I'm just closer [to home] in Seattle. And I'm with, you know, such good friends of mine. It makes a difference being in a happier place."
Salling and the third-seeded Huskies wrapped up the first leg of what they hope will be a three-week road trip to the national championship with a win in the Amherst Regional that tested their resolve as much as it could be tested. Pushed to a decisive third game by host UMass, Washington needed 15 innings and several narrow escapes to finally emerge with a 6-1 win.
It also needed Salling, who drove home the team's only run in regulation with a first-inning sacrifice fly and drove in the eventual winner in the 15th inning by beating out an infield single by half a step with two outs and the bases loaded. For the weekend, Salling was 8-for-14 with a walk and a team-high four RBIs in four games -- one more hit than she had in the regular season.
In fact, Salling entered the NCAA tournament as perhaps the highest-profile player in the nation with a batting average on the wrong side of the Mendoza Line. An All-American at Oregon as a redshirt freshman in 2007, she took the Pac-10 by storm in her debut, hitting .481 with 14 home runs and 73 RBI. She walked six times in one two-game series against Arizona, three times intentionally. She hit a pair of home runs off Washington ace Danielle Lawrie. She hit a pair of home runs and drove in three of her team's four runs in her first NCAA tournament game.
Simply put, she looked like the second coming of Lovie Jung. And coaches around the Pac-10 took notice.
"We always had usually Danielle pitching, so we found ways to beat [Salling]," Washington coach Heather Tarr said. "Of course, she hit two home runs off of us in three games -- but it wasn't ever in crucial situations. She's just a good athlete with a phenomenal arm, and she loves the game. [I] liked the way she played and loved the fact that she just plays with a lot of passion and energy."
The rest of the conference got a break from both Lawrie and Salling last season while both trained and toured with the Canadian Olympic team in preparation for the competition in Beijing, softball's final appearance in the Games. But once that experience came to a close in heartbreaking fashion, as Canada lost the bronze-medal game and a chance at its first medal in the sport, Salling informed Oregon she wouldn't return.
Talking now about the mechanics and motivation of the move from the Ducks to the Huskies, Salling repeatedly stresses that it was a process she went through and a decision she made entirely on her own. And while she and Lawrie are close, the ace's role was passive.
"Obviously, playing behind Danielle is one of the best experiences you could ever ask for, especially as a shortstop," Salling said. "But like I said, it was never her saying, 'Oh, Jen, you should come to Washington, you should come to Washington.' But I talked to her and said, 'You know, I think I'm going to come; I think I want to come.' And she said, 'Do what's best for you.' So I did, and I'm here and we're in a good place."
Salling sat out last season, but to be eligible after transferring within the Pac-10, she either had to sit out another season at Washington or complete an AA (Associate in Arts) degree at a community or junior college. She completed the degree over the fall and winter and was able to enroll at Washington, which operates on a quarters system, in time to join the softball team for its Pac-10 schedule. The nine-month break from softball came at a good time after the grind and pressure of an Olympic experience she described as "overwhelming," but so did her return to competition.
"I've never been so excited for something in my entire life," Salling said. "Because I would go to their practice once a week, and I was just like itching to play and stuff like that. So when I finally got out there, my first weekend was against Arizona-Arizona State and it was just so exciting."
Playing in front of her family in Seattle, she didn't get a hit in her Washington debut on April 3 but scored a pair of runs as Lawrie no-hit Arizona -- one of the most prolific offenses in the country.
Tarr batted Salling third right out of the gate and kept her in either the No. 3 or No. 4 spots in the lineup, even as her average struggled to climb toward .200; Tarr noted that a lot of opponents were more worried about the reputation that came with the name than the numbers on the stat sheet. And Salling was still productive, drawing nine walks, scoring nine runs and driving in seven runs in the 18 regular-season games she played.
"She was weak, she was slow, she was -- her timing was off, she was starting to think [too much]," Tarr said. "But great athletes can overcome that. She's worked hard. We had to kind of get her some extra sprint work just because her legs weren't turning around as fast -- she'd been on the treadmill and jogging and not training specifically as well as she should have been.
"But I had no problems keeping her in that spot because she can affect a lineup. She can hit the ball to the right side and score [Ashley] Charters. She plays the game the right way, whether her timing is on or not."
The timing started to return late in the regular season, including a good final weekend against Cal and Stanford, and it kept ticking along in Amherst. Salling can knock the ball off the wall on a rope or send it soaring over the fence, but some of her most impressive feats come with more nuance.
Locked in a scoreless game against Massachusetts on Saturday, she worked a 3-0 count against Brandice Balschmiter with a runner in scoring position. After Balschmiter got a strike on the far reaches of the outside corner, Salling fouled off the next offering and then, as another pitch sailed toward the outer edge, lofted a soft, looping ball the opposite way into left to score the run.
"I think she's got some of the best hands that I've seen from an athlete in a long time," Tarr said. "When her timing's on and she's seeing the ball well, she's dangerous. Those kinds of hits -- the little 'take two, go to left,' as a lefty -- she's kind of able to do that because she has such good hands."
Standing on first after the hit Saturday, Salling pumped a fist as her teammates erupted. She might have even cracked the slightest of smiles. But if not, in her own way, she was having the time of her life.
"It's probably a lot of she's tough on the outside," Tarr said. "She cares a lot about her teammates. We didn't know a lot about her before she got here -- Danielle obviously knew her -- and we've been pleasantly just surprised with how she's been as a teammate. She loves her teammates already. They love her. She's found a way to kind of get them to buy into her. Because that's not easy, having somebody come in and take somebody's spot in the middle of the year. And the team just immediately accepted her as a personality."
Just don't expect the rest of the Huskies to imitate that personality. With Salling at work in the middle of the order and the middle of the field, there's simply too much to smile about.

Catherine Reynolds - Week 4
With this week comes newfound inspiration. I was beginning to wonder if all my energy and effort were paying off as I was not seeing a difference in the mirror or in the tightness of my pants. But, as my weigh-in /measure-in day came and went, I am now ready to kick it up a notch and prove that I can do this.
I find my progress so far to be unbelievable. In just four weeks, I have lost 7 lbs of fat and gained 3 lbs of muscle, for a net loss of 4lbs. Also, my body fat percentage dropped by 2.6%!! And, overall, I have lost about 5 inches!
These changes have renewed my energy and determination to make this happen. Steve, my trainer, changed my workout and definitely made it hard again! I am now running(!) on the treadmill and have noticed my endurance has gone up significantly. I can feel more tone in my arms and love that slightly tight feeling in my legs the day after a workout. I could get used to this!
All I can say is that I am truly enjoying this challenge and lifestyle I am beginning to adopt. My children have even recognized the change in me and ask if I am going to go exercise everytime I drop them off at preschool. I just decided to sign up for a 5K Mud Run with some girlfriends on March 24 and I can't wait for my daughters to see me cross the finish line!
Important thing I learned this week: I CAN DO THIS!!

Emmaline Henry (November 1, 1928 – October 8, 1979) was an American actress perhaps best known for playing Amanda Bellows, wife of Dr. Bellows, on the hit 1960s situation comedy I Dream of Jeannie.
Creator Sidney Sheldon mentioned in an interview that Henry was a good actress who was easy to work with. A casting director brought her in to audition and to meet him. Sheldon tested her and based on the screen test she got the part of Mrs. Bellows. She was first cast on the show January 22, 1966 in season 1 episode 18 in a one episode role playing a different character called "Myrt" (from the original black-and-white episodes). Her first appearance as Mrs. Bellows wasn't seen until December 12, 1966 in season 2 episode 14, when she was introduced to Tony and Roger by Dr. Bellows for the first time.
Originally, Henry never intended to become an actress, for she had wanted to become a singer. By her teens she was appearing on local radio. She went to Hollywood in the early 1950s and found her way into the choruses of several musicals. Producers began noticing, however, that her comedy skills were superior to her singing. She toured in shows like Top Banana, and acted in the film of that show. She also succeeded Carol Channing in the play Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
Henry made her television debut in a 1955 episode of the ZIV production, I Led Three Lives. This was followed by appearances in another ZIV TV show, Highway Patrol. She appeared on The Red Skelton Show in 1961 and, subsequently, did guest spots on various sitcoms, including ABCs The Farmer's Daughter, The Munsters and Petticoat Junction. Her first starring role was as John Astin's wife in the sitcom I'm Dickens, He's Fenster, which also starred Marty Ingels in a series about a pair of zany carpenters. She appeared as Mickey Rooney's wife, Nora Grady, in the short-lived ABC sitcom Mickey in 1964–1965. She made film appearances in Divorce American Style (1967), Rosemary's Baby (1968) and Harrad Summer (1974).
Following the cancellation of I Dream of Jeannie in 1970, she made appearances on other sitcoms, including the anthology series Love, American Style, and in the dramatic television mini-series Backstairs at the White House. She was reportedly scheduled to become a semi-regular[citation needed] cast member on Three's Company after she had guest-starred in a couple of episodes in the role of Chrissy's boss, J.C. Braddock. Her final television appearance was on a wedding episode of Eight Is Enough, in an episode entitled "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", which aired just a few weeks prior to her death.[citation needed]
She enjoyed playing Mrs. Amanda Bellows and mentioned that people would often ask her where her husband, Dr. Bellows (Hayden Rorke) was. Although she often played wives, in real life she never married (nor did Rorke).[citation needed]
Emmaline Henry died of brain cancer on October 8, 1979, aged 50. She was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.[1]

Europe is a hell of a long way to come for a stag, especially when it was all just a lame excuse for a bunch of middle-aged men to try and recapture their youth, drinking all day long while ogling European hotties.

BEREA — Barkevious Mingo blocked, then ran downfield to cover a punt. A few minutes later, he went head-to-head with a blocking sled.
These everyday occurrences were noteworthy Wednesday because Mingo had been barred from contact since suffering a bruised lung Aug. 15 against the Lions. Coach Rob Chudzinski announced the rookie was cleared to play, and Mingo is expected to make his NFL debut Sunday in Baltimore.
"It's very exciting," Mingo said before practice. "I watched last week and I just want to get on the field. Hopefully I can do that.
"It's up to the coaches. If I'm up this week and I'm practicing well and they think I can help the team win, then hopefully they'll let me play."
Mingo, the No. 6 pick in the draft in April, was inactive for Week 1, a 23-10 loss to Miami. He had returned to practice last week but was limited to agility drills. He was limited again Wednesday but wore shoulder pads and bumped into people and things for the first time since the preseason game against Detroit.
Mingo spit up blood on the sideline and was short of breath after taking an ordinary hit on the opening kickoff against the Lions. He has said he's felt good for weeks.
"I feel better knowing I'm able to play if I'm called upon," he said.
Mingo is expected to join the rotation at outside linebacker with starters Paul Kruger and Jabaal Sheard and backup Quentin Groves. Kruger and Groves had sacks in the opening loss.
"I feel I bring a lot to this team and the coaches can use me in different ways," Mingo said. "I think that's the best part about it. I'm ready to get it done. And just ready to play."
Chudzinski said Mingo could play outside linebacker in the base defense and be a rusher in sub packages.
"I think there will be a pretty good rotation with that group," Chudzinski said of the outside linebackers. "They all really have something to bring to the table, and that's a strength of ours."
For Chudzinski, it's too early to tell what impact Mingo can have in his debut, especially after being limited for about a month. But Mingo hasn't lost any of the athleticism the Browns saw when they scouted him at LSU — he looked as quick as ever going through drills Wednesday.
"Anytime you've got your first-round draft pick like Mingo, somebody explosive and able to go out there and make plays on any given snap, it's exciting to have him," free safety Tashaun Gipson said. "That just gives us another threat. We've already got Kruger, Jabaal and those guys right there. So adding another guy definitely is a huge aspect to this game right now, and I feel like it's going to pay dividends. You never can have too many pass rushers or run stoppers, and I think we've got a great amount of them."
The defense played well for three quarters against the Dolphins, with four sacks of Ryan Tannehill. But it appeared to run out of gas in the fourth quarter as the pass rush stopped getting home and the Dolphins scored the clinching touchdown.
The addition of Mingo should help avoid fatigue.
"I certainly hope so," he said.
Despite the rare injury and length of time before doctors cleared him, Mingo said he's not worried about returning to action and doesn't feel he'll hold back.
"I'm just ready to play, hit, tackle, sack, it doesn't matter," he said. "I'm just ready to get back out on the field."
His mom, Barbara Johnson, forbid him from playing football in high school because she didn't want him to get hurt. Mingo, who joined the team behind her back, said she's still worried about him.
"She asks me every day how am I doing," he said. "I just have to let her know that I'm doing good, I feel good. The coaches and the doctors both agree that I'm able to play, I'm ready to play, so I think she'll be OK."

I saw many different /etc/resolve.conf configurations on the net. Some of them have just nameservers listed, some of them have 'search local.localhost.net', some of them have 'round robin' parameters... etc.
What are the best practices for /etc/resolv.conf file on Ubuntu?
EDIT: This is machine running Ruby on Rails Web server with Apache front end. The server has occasional access to Google Data APIs.
So the questions are:
- Should I use google DNS servers or server provided by my hosting?
- Should I have anything else additional to nameserver entries?
I understand there are manuals but I'm confused why different cloud providers (Rackspace, SoftLayer, etc) have different configurations.

Gun Group Holds Rally With AR-15s To Congratulate Congress For Blocking Background Checks
A group of gun activists armed with AR-15s and handguns held a rally at the Tippecanoe County Courthouse in Indiana on Saturday to thank Congress for voting down gun safety measures, including a proposal to expand background checks for guns sales.
Indiana Moms Against Gun Control organized the event as a counter protest to Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense's protest calling for stricter federal gun laws in the aftermath of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Pictures from JCOnline.com:
The armed group had previously crashed a gun safety protest in March and insisted that they had a right to carry the loaded weapons on the streets. "To me, it's normal," one of the men told a local TV station, before admitting that he was carrying a loaded weapon. "Any weapon that's not loaded is just a rock or a club," he said.
Indiana does not prohibit assault weapons or place limits on magazine capacity.

The Dark Blues face an uphill task to avoid relegation after their latest Dens Park setback left them staring firmly at the prospect of returning to the First Division, but Smith was refusing to throw in the towel after seeing goals from Paul Lawson and Gary Glen kill their hopes of victory.
Smith's side now lie 14 points adrift of St Mirren having played a game more.
He said: "We'll never give up. Until it's mathematically impossible we will never say never and keep going for all the points we can get.
"It's becoming more difficult by the week but we just have to try and give ourselves any chance of staying up we can get.
"I don't know if their first goal was over the line or not after Rab Douglas got a hand to it. But the more annoying thing was the fact that their player was allowed to run so far without being challenged.
"We didn't play the way we know we can and certainly the last two games against Kilmarnock and Hibs."
Meanwhile, Ross County boss Derek Adams praised his on-form players as they moved into seventh in the table to almost erase any fears of relegation.
Adams said: "We're delighted with the end result. It's never easy coming to Dens Park and getting three points so all credit to the players.
"We're now only five points off second top and 18 points away from the bottom. It's a good night all round for the club. We've gone above Dundee United and Kilmarnock which is a massive boost."

Your acoustic guitar's top E string plays the root of many essential open chords. For this reason, you need to be confident that your top E string is long-lasting and stays in tune through countless strums. If you're currently finding it difficult to do this with a 011 gauge string, then you might want to consider opting for a thicker gauge like 012. The good news is that you'll find plenty of acoustic guitar string sets that contain 012 gauge acoustic guitar strings, and you don't need to look any further than this catalog for proof.
Before we look at some choices, it should be noted that most sets are named after the heaviest and lightest string in the pack (for example: 12/54). This is usually written on the top or bottom of the package itself. Although sets with 012 gauge strings require more finger pressure to hold down when compared to sets with 011 gauge strings, you'll find your tone to be a lot richer and crisper.
Honestly, any one of the acoustic guitar string packs in this section is worth trying because only the top acoustic guitar string brands are offered here, including Elixir, Martin, Fender, Ernie Ball and DR Strings. One of the most popular string sets is the GHS Contact Core Bright Bronze Medium Acoustic Guitar Strings (12-54). Featuring a specially tempered 80/20 copper-zinc alloy cover wire with a one-of-a-kind contact core design, these strings deliver a bright, ringing tone that's sure to please players and audiences alike.
Cleartone is another respected string manufacturer and their Treated Light Acoustic Guitar Strings Four Pack is a top seller. These strings are proven to last up to 5 times longer than uncoated strings and deliver 36% louder projection. Not to mention, buying in bulk is a great way to save some dough and cut down on numerous trips to the online shopping cart.
And these sets are only a sample of what awaits you - there are many other sets that contain 012 gauge acoustic guitar strings as well, and giving each one a closer look will give you a better idea of what kind of sound they'll give you. Feel free to start browsing the rest of this selection whenever you're ready.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

Chances are you've never heard of "Stalker," the landmark science-fiction film from 1979. Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky, perhaps Russia's greatest movie director, the movie tells the tale of an unnamed and enigmatic man known only as the Stalker, who leads people through "the Zone," a government-enclosed area that had contact with an alien force and no longer holds itself to the rules of physics. On his latest journey, the Stalker takes two people through the Zone, avoiding military forces and invisible dangers to reach something known only as "the Room," a location where you can fulfill your most desired wishes.
Essayist Geoff Dyer has recently published Zona: A Book about a Film about a Journey to a Room, which doesn't just break down "Stalker" scene-by-scene, but also details how the movie has impacted his life and how films can impact all of us.
To celebrate the release of Zona, our friends at HuffPost Books are participating in an event this Sunday, March 11, entitled Stalker Sunday. It's real simple: start the movie at 8 p.m. EDT and follow along with HP Books, the Daily News, the Los Angeles Review of Books, hardcore sci-fi fans and fellow newbies to the acclaimed movie. Whether it's to ask a question or offer a 140-character review, this is your chance to discover a unique film experience with scores of people all over the web.
You can either keep your eyes peeled to the hashtag #StalkerSunday on Twitter or head over to MediaBistro, where they'll be collecting everyone's comments as they watch the movie. If you're still not sold on checking this out, here are 6 More Reasons To Watch "Stalker" on Stalker Sunday.
1. It's FREE on the Internet.
You don't have to worry about tracking down a copy, you don't have to worry about spending one cent, you don't have to worry about ending up on some FBI watch-list for movie piracy.
The movie is available for FREE on YouTube thanks to the Russian media company MosFilm.
2. It's like if Stanley Kubrick directed "The Wizard of Oz."
Head's up: the movie is long. It clocks in at 163 minutes. But just like the best work from the mind behind "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Shining," the film is a methodical and foreboding piece of storytelling filled with enough tracking shots, for a budding film student to rip off.
And like "Wizard" the movie has a lot of fun, tripping out audiences with a mono-chromatic real world and a colorful, mind-bending depiction of the Zone.
3. You can afford to read a movie with subtitles.
Your only cinematic options for the weekend are the box-office-disaster in the making "John Carter" or Adam Sandler's crime against intelligence "Jack and Jill" (which just arrived on DVD). For your own dignity's sake, take a chance on a movie that actually assumes you're smart enough to keep up with it.
And even if you get lost at any point, you'll be watching it with countless other Internet viewers who will be more than willing to help recap any moment.
4. This movie has inspired A LOT of cool movies you have seen.
This award-winning film from the Cannes Film Festival has gone on to inspire works like "Akira," "Ghost in the Shell" and director Tarsem Singh (maker of "The Fall," "The Cell" and "Immortals.")
Ingmar Bergman called Tarkovsky the greatest filmmaker ever. And Bergman himself has been called the greatest filmmaker ever by such luminaries as Woody Allen. He's the guy that the greats consider to be great.
5. Life imitated art.
After the Chernobyl disaster, the emergency workers tasked with maintaining the fallout zone started to call themselves "stalkers." In Russian culture, the film has taken on an eerie reputation as predicting the nuclear tragedy, and then went on to inspire the Chernobyl-based video-game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
6. Seriously, it's FREE.

Day 70: Exodus 20, Psalm 70 & 1 Samuel 21
There are times when it is acceptable to state, for the record, your accomplishments. I recently heard a woman address a congressional sub-committee and she started out with her name and a list of the organizations she is involved in. She owns a company with her husband and also runs a non-profit and political action group and she shared that in an attempt to lay a foundation for why the members of this congressional subcommittee should listen to her.
When God started out with the 10 Commands in Exodus 20 He did the same thing.
"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery."
Pretty impressive. Mine goes something like, "I am your husband, who rescued you from all those other losers..." It doesn't get me near as much attention and respect as I think it should. What God doesn't mention is how He did the rescuing, plagues, parting of the sea, destruction of Egypt's entire army, manna, quail, waters turned sweet and water from a rock, just to name a few. I think they probably remembered that part.
Now that God established who it was that was talking and why they should listen He goes on.
- You shall have no other gods before Me.
- You shall not make for yourself and idol to worship or serve.
- You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His Name in vain.Boom.I think God can say the same thing to me and you too. I am the Lord, who brought you out of the land of sin, shame and guilt, out of the house of punishment, wrath and death.So how do we do with the first three commands?Honestly, we do put other things before God.
- Our kids or spouse
- Our "toys"
- Our hobbies
- Our wants (we call them needs usually)
- Our warm bed on cold Sunday mornings
- Our finances - by how we use them
- Number two we don't really have a problem with, I don't know too many christians who are out in their garages casing idols or carving them.But number three is a problem.I know what you're saying, "OMG, are you serious?!" Yes. Yes I am.What do you think using the Name of the Lord in vain means? It means using his Name in a manner that is beneath Him as the Holy creator, God. So if you are not speaking to Him or about Him in a manner worthy OF Him you are breaking the third command.His Name is Holy. And anyone who uses His Name in a manner unworthy of Him will NOT go unpunished BY Him.So the next time you say God's Name in anger or frivolity remember number 3 and DON'T!

More canisters containing a potentially lethal chemical have

Three canisters containing aluminium phosphide, which
authorities warn can be fatal if inhaled, have been
discovered on beaches in central Queensland this month.
A canister was located on Lady Elliot Island on December 10,
a second canister was discovered at Rules Beach, while a
third was reported to police at Deep Creek south of Gladstone
on Sunday morning.
Their discovery comes after four canisters were washed up
along a 200km stretch of coastline from Ayr to Ingham in the
months since February.
Police are re-issuing their warning for beachgoers to avoid
the canisters if they spot them and immediately call triple
The deadly chemical they contain is used to fumigate ships,
and it's believed the canisters came from a passing vessel.
"For safety's sake, should anyone find one, I urge them to

District Officer Glenn Kachel said in a statement.

When piping operations using SoX, I've noticed that files get shorter than they should:
Works fine:
sox -n -r 44100 silence.wav trim 0 1
sox --combine sequence silence.wav combined.wav
soxi -D combined.wav
> 1.000000
The resulting file gets shorter:
sox -n -r 44100 silence.wav trim 0 1
sox --combine sequence "|sox silence.wav -p" combined.wav
soxi -D combined.wav
> 0.998549 seconds
Tested with SoX version 14.4.1 on Windows 7 64 Family Edition. (On Windows, create a copy of sox.exe named soxi.exe for soxi to work.)
I'll spare you the rest of the details but there's basically a loss of 0.001451 sec for EACH pipe operation. (A little less at higher sampling rates.) For anything where accuracy is important, those milliseconds add up and do become significant, creating lags between where you expect the audio to be and where it really is.
Before I submit a bug report to the SoX team, I'd like to figure out if it really is a bug or isn't rather command-line related. Would anyone be kind enough to run both sets of commands on their system and post the results?
Thanks in advance -
