I ran into this in graydon's diary:
I have an ongoing thesis at the moment which I'm exploring in the programming language literature, which is that programming language features do well (all other things being equal) when they eliminate either distant or dynamic state and replace it with either close or lexical state. the underlying point being that we may favour language features that facilitate copying and modifying small bits of code -- fragments which work in their new context -- as a fundamental programming activity.
I wonder if this is a good way to explain some of the benefits of Seaside's approach to web-app session management. Because Seaside lets you describe multi-page sequences in one block of code, a lot of state that would normally have to be stored in some kind session object can simply be in local variables. For example, shopping cart checkout code can look something like this:
|customer shippingAddress billingAddress| customer := self loginCustomer. billingAddress := self getBillingAddress. [self requiresSeparateShippingAddress] ifTrue: [shippingAddress := self getShippingAddress] ifFalse: [shippingAddress := billingAddress]. self processOrderFor: customer billTo: billingAddress shipTo: shippingAddress.
If you're unfamiliar with Smalltalk syntax, the || at the top is a set of local variable declarations.
I often talk about the fact that it's much more maintainable to have this entire flow in one chunk of code, but I don't tend to dwell on the locality of state too much. Perhaps I should.

Thanks Santosha. I was able to order the last 5 Galactic marines they had in stock. Too bad there were no concept troopers left. There are some airborne troopers if anyone cares.
Went to Burbank Target this morning and there were only 2 figures on the pegs: R2 and an airborne trooper. Weird! Where was the rest of the case? Who knows. No signs of the new ships yet.
Strange I saw the same thing at Target in Culver City on Jefferson, I got there at 8.10am and the Super Battle Droid and Airborne were the only two on the pegs.
Let me ask you this: do you have a Slave 1 in your collection? It's also ridiculously out of scale! If you've got one, I think you need to throw it away
The Infiltrator looks great, and the opening front makes for a neat action feature for the kids (and more playful adults) without sacrificing the look of the ship in 'normal' mode.
The V-wing looks amazing, too! I'll be picking up one for myself (maybe 2 eventually) and an Infiltrator for my lady's son.
So Burbank Target's now had Obi-Wan and Lava Miner on one day, and R2 & an Airborne today. Weird.
Since the Airborne and Galactic Marine clones are shipping in future cases, I've decided not to get all hot and bothered when they show up online. Without free shipping or a coupon, it's just not worth it. I could have saved so much money during Saga 2006 if I had just been more patient. I suffered the paranoia of ROTS when clones would disappear forever, only to resurface in H&V and GB the next year.
I guess it seems that the VA thread is now the biggest Just Found one.

Shock poll: Rubio within 10 points of Crist in Florida
posted at 5:32 pm on November 19, 2009 by Allahpundit
Yeah, it's a dKos poll, but as I've told you before, their pollster's okay. Kos himself thinks Crist is all but finished. For once, I'm inclined to agree with him.
These trendlines are bleak for Crist, and there's little chance of him surviving. Remember, Rubio hasn't spent a dime on media yet. This is all grassroots driven, and the teabaggers are engaged, angry, and looking for the next Scozzafava. Crist is in their crosshairs, and the governor has been flopping all over the place hoping to stem this growing tide against him, and failing. Note — 50 percent of Republicans still don't know who Rubio is. The more he raises his name ID, the better he does…
If I'm Charlie Crist, I realize that I'm toast in the Republican primary. I note that a three-way race is a coin flip at best. But as a Democrat… switching parties and making an earnest transition on the issues would be the cleanest path to a Senate seat.
Not only hasn't Rubio spent on media yet, but he can count on boatloads of earned media from the right. The question, then: Will Crist pull a Specter and switch? As in Pennsylvania, Florida's primary is closed so the centrist can't count on independents to bail him out. As a Democrat, Crist leads Rubio in a general election match-up 45/34 — but even there, 21 percent are undecided. If he doesn't switch, the primary will likely decide who wins the Senate seat, as Crist leads big over likely Democratic nominee Kendrick Meek and Rubio trails narrowly despite most of the electorate being undecided. Of course, this all assumes that my nightmare scenario of a bloody primary suppressing Republican turnout in the general election won't come to pass. Will it?
Sarahpalooza-flavored exit question: Palin is bound to endorse Rubio eventually, but will he have her come and campaign for him? Sarahcuda is useful primarily as a spur to turnout among the base, but Rubio is less in need of that than any other candidate running next year. He's already the base's darling; all she can do for him, potentially, is spur turnout among Palin-haters on the left (which is the not-too-secret reason Bob McDonnell politely declined her generous offer in Virginia).

Great article today by George Will of the Wasington Post on Calvin Coolidge. Part of it compares his brevity to Obama's penchant for droning on and on. Also, Coolidge was known for cutting govt excess and growing the economy. Again, just the opposite of Obama.
Good article on ol Cal
I like Lew Rockwell's newsletters.
Y'all do know that he was partners with Ron Paul writing many of RP's newsletter from Ron's speeches, as well as taking creative liberty to write some under Ron's name. Some of which were in the news as being controversial.
Rockwell also has podcast avialble on his website and has been one of the voices of the Libertarian Party for some time now.
This is worth posting again! Carla Howell, you are my kind of woman.
Lew's podcasts are great. I have a bit of a drive for work one day each week and always catch up then. They are very informative and educational. Even if you think libertarians are crazy, they are not in your face and actually very optimistic unlike the MSM. If you get a chance, instead of listening to limbaugh for 30 minutes, listen to a rockwell podcast. After to podcast is done you can go back to listening to rush because he will be still talking about the same thing,(yet i still like listening to Rush, he is entertaining).
"Drone on" is a good way to describe Obama's speeches. After four years of this, the cadence, rhythm and content sounds just like "the same ole, same ole." The exception now is that it is more scary because the hollow words of 2009 were only rhetoric that went largely unfulfilled except for the part about more govt control, more spending, more taxation. And even more scary that so many people still worship those words.
He needs some new speechwriters.

Flu virus spreading "fast and fierce"
SPOKANE - The recent flu outbreak is being called one of the fastest moving and fiercest in a decade. The flu has hit 41 states from coast-to-coast and many are at epidemic levels – including Idaho.
In Spokane, we are far below the baseline for reported cases of flu. The Spokane Regional Health District says there have only been 12 hospitalizations due to the flu. But across the nation, the flu is hitting like a tidal wave.
More than 800 flu cases have been reported in Ohio, where last year there were only 65 cases. It's so bad in some parts of the country entire hospitals have closed to visitors.Flu virus spreading "fast and fierce"
While our region hasn't seen the brunt of the virus yet, it's better to start preventative measures now and there are a couple of ways : the flu vaccine and following the example set by Miss Tressa's class at St. Anne's Children and Family Center.
There, the kids wash their hands constantly and are taught how to properly cough into their elbow. They sing the ABC's while washing their hands to ensure they're doing it long enough. St. Anne's has to remain extra vigilant during the flu season.
"We do a lot of things here too to try to prevent it on a day-to-day basis, like sanitizing tables and trays where the children are eating and also having the children and staff wash their hands, wash their hands, wash their hands," Director Lee Williams said.
They also encourage all employees and children there to get immunized, though it's not a requirement to work or use the daycare. The kids also sleep at least 30 inches apart and are positioned heat-to-feet so as to prevent them from coughing in each other's faces.
It all adds up since the flu virus can march through the doors at St. Anne's at any second.

And my code in GLSL is written below:
uniform sampler2D normal; uniform vec2 mouse; uniform float Za; vec4 effect(vec4 color,sampler2D tex,vec2 tc,vec2 pc) { vec4 img_color = texture2D( tex, tc ); vec4 normalColor = texture2D( normal, tc ); float X = (mouse.x - pc.x); float Y = (mouse.y - pc.y); float Z = Za; float dotProduct = X * normalColor.r + Y * normalColor.g + Z * normalColor.b; dotProduct /= sqrt(X * X + Y * Y + Z * Z) * sqrt(normalColor.r * normalColor.r + normalColor.g * normalColor.g + normalColor.b * normalColor.b); float factor = dotProduct; img_color.r = img_color.r + factor; img_color.g = img_color.g + factor; img_color.b = img_color.b + factor; return img_color; }
So basically I had a few questions:
Is my math correct?
What I'm trying to do is get the vector of the mouse (the light source for now) to the pixel, and the normal of that pixel, and then get the dot product between them, normalize that, and that is the brightness factor. However the angle seems to be a bit off. I just wanted to double check if my questions were all right because debugging on the GPU doesn't seem to be very easy
For the usual lighting methods, do you multiply by a distance factor?
Naturally when a light is further away the object should be dimmer. But this doesn't seem to be the case with this approach. Should I just multiply by some arbitrary distance factor?
Finally, I'm basically using 3D light for a 2D game. Although it seems pretty simple in the implementation though. I'm told the Phong Reflection Model may be better suited in this case. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks in advance! Any help or tips on anything would be appreciated!

In our last post we talked about getting weight down by looking at the pack you are carrying. That is an important part of the process of getting your base weight down.. so now lets talk about ways that you can shave weight on the stuff you put in side.
1. Make lists. Make a spreadsheet or list of everything that you have. Weigh every piece of gear. Now, I am no gram weenie and the thought of looking that close at gear at first was just plain wrong, but then I noticed how quickly ounces add up.
2. Prioritize your list of needs and wants. What do you need and what do you just want to have out there. Some folks think that they need something, but then learn that it really was just a want. Look closely at your gear. One thing that I do is after each outing I dump my pack, clean and dry everything and then lay it all out. If I did not use a piece of gear I assess whether I want it in my pack or I need it my pack. A first aid kit is a need even though it may never get used (hopefully). I have found that in most cases if I did not use a piece of gear on one outing, I probably won't use it on the next.
3. Look at your seasonal gear. I store my winter gear in a separate tub. I pull it out when needed and put it back when the weather turns. Don't get in the habit of just keeping seasonal items in your pack. Winter tent stakes or anchors are heavier than your regular stakes. Gloves and other cold weather gear just adds un needed weight in the summer.
4. Food. Plan, Plan, Plan.. You can shave lots of weight in food. The best part of food packing is that meal after meal your pack gets lighter. Repackage your meals. Do not take any boxes, cans, or heavy wrapping. Zip lock bags work great and can reduce the size and weight of your meals. Even if you use Mountain House of other Freeze dried meals. Take them out of the original packaging. Cook it in your pot instead of the bag. Mountain House (and other brands) bags are heavy and bulky.
Plan your meals. Just because you are in Scouts does not mean that you need to cook a 3 course meal every meal of the day. Trail foods, Gorp, energy bars, breakfast bars, jerky, and peanut butter packets make a great trail lunch and will fit in 1 ziplock sandwich bag. Eat hot meals in the morning and night, but repackage them and take out the stuff you are not going to eat anyway.
5. Water. Purification tablets like the Aquamira tablets or the Katadyn tablets work great and take up little or no space in your pack. You don't get the instant drink of water, but you do shave some significant weight. Also, ditch the Nalgene bottle. Go with a bladder or even an old Gatoraid bottle. They both are lighter and now a days.. just as durable.
Just like everything when it comes to backpacking.. planning and preparation are the key to success. You can shave weight instantly by being a better planner. Have a critical eye and accept that you can live without that one piece of gear that was bright and shiny and just would not let you run out of REI without it.
Yep.. These are lessons that I learned the hard way. I used to carry the kitchen sink because that is how I was taught. But as gear gets lighter and my body gets older, its time for the old dogs to learn new tricks and lighten up the load.
Last thought on this. After the last post, I received emails about shaving weight and some folks left comments. I really appreciate the comments and tips and tricks you all use to shave weight and have a great time out in the woods. What I do want to say, and I have said it before, that you need to hike your own hike.. you need to find what works for you and tinker with your set up.
When teaching the Scouts we give them the tips and tricks and then see what they come up with. Some of them really take that critical eye and get their weight and volume down. And those that do find they have a better time on the trail. Their pack is not constantly kicking their butts and they are fresher when they get to camp. Those that choose not to take a look at their gear..well, they do one of two things. Struggle or suck it up.
Last tip.
Upgrade. I know gear gets spendy. Try to upgrade one item a year. Your sleep system, your shelter, your pack, whatever. If it's not every year, set a goal and look at the one piece of gear that will give you the highest pay off in weight savings and volume reduction and get it when you can. Then set a new goal for the next piece. Spend a few hours at your favorite outfitter and test it all out. Get in the sleeping bag, set up the tent, feel the weight and look it the item packed and set up. See what will work for you and get what you like and what will best fit your kit.
Hike your own Hike and Have a Great Scouting Day!

Click here for video interviews by Parrish Alford in Nashville at the Inside Ole Miss Sports blog.
NASHVILLE – For all the bad memories Ole Miss has had at Memorial Gym, Tuesday night was one to savor.
Marshall Henderson's buzzer-beating 3-pointer from deep beyond the key forced overtime, and Ole Miss completed a comeback from a 13-point deficit to beat Vanderbilt 89-79 at Memorial Gym.
The Rebels had not won here since 2001, the season they advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
Hoping to get back in the big dance for the first time since 2002, Ole Miss (14-2, 3-0 SEC) is off to a 3-0 start in SEC play for the first time since 2006.
Ole Miss outscored Vanderbilt 11-1 in the overtime period. Freshman guard Kevin Bright got Vandy off on a good foot with a 3-pointer, but Marshall Henderson answered with a 3 of his own, and it was off to the races for Ole Miss.
Henderson had 26 points, but it was Vanderbilt knocking down the 3-point shots. The Commodores were 12 for 20 from the arc in the first half. Just one Vandy bucket in the first 20 minutes was from 2-point range.
When the Rebels extended the defense in the second half, Vanderbilt got in the lane and scored.
But the Commodores (6-9, 0-3) didn't get to the free throw line and score.
They were just 10 for 23 from the free throw line, and a string of misses down the stretch left the door open for Ole Miss.
The Rebels, in fact, took the lead with 2:11 left in regulation when Jarvis Summers lobbed inside to Reggie Buckner.
Ole Miss extended the lead to 75-72 on a late bucket by Nick Williams, his first of the game.
Vanderbilt fans were feeling pretty good when freshman guard Kevin Bright hit the Commodores' 17th and final 3-pointer of the game, from the corner an Ole Miss defender charging at him.
There were 3.2 seconds on the clock when Ole Miss threw the ball in-bounds and Henderson shot left his hand with plenty of time to spare, though it was reviewed by game officials to be sure.
The Rebels shot 51.6 percent for the game and outrebounded Vanderbilt 38-35.

FEC Investigators Digging Into Obama's 2008 Campaign
Barack Obama raised a record-shattering $750 million on his way to winning the 2008 presidential election. But that stunning flood of cash has triggered an investigation by the Federal Election Commission, which is taking a detailed look at the campaign's records and transactions.
According to Roll Call, the audit of Obama's financial records began http://www.newsmax.com/getattachment...-Copy.jpg.aspxtwo years ago. It was not required by law, since the Obama campaign did not accept federal matching funds and funded itself entirely with private donations. But allegations of improper contributions, coupled with the FEC's suspicions of certain transactions, led to the probe.
Obama recently officially launched his 2012 campaign effort, and a representative there admitted to Roll Call that a review was under way.
In October 2008, Newsmax's Ken Timmerman reported that questions about the source of Obama's amazing fundraising were already swirling around. He reaped a stunning $150 million in campaign donations in September of that year, bringing his total at the time to more than $600 million.
As Timmerman reported:
By Obamas own admission, more than half of his contributions have come from small donors giving $200 or less. But unlike John McCains campaign, Obama wont release the names of these donors.
A Newsmax canvass of disclosed Obama campaign donors shows worrisome anomalies, including outright violations of federal election laws.
For example, Obama has numerous donors who have contributed well over the $4,600 federal election limit.
Many of these donors have never been contacted by the Obama campaign to refund the excess amounts to them.
And more than 37,000 Obama donations appear to be conversions of foreign currency.
According to a Newsmax analysis of the Obama campaign data before the latest figures were released, potential foreign currency donations could range anywhere from $12.8 million to a stunning $63 million in all. With the addition of $150 million raised in September, this amount could be much more.

Aleksandr GOLOVIN
Aleksandr Yakovlevich Golovin (b Moscow, 17 February 1863 – d Pushkin (then Detskoe Selo), 17 April 1930) studied architecture at the Moscow Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture before switching to painting. In 1899 he moved to Paris, studying at the Académie de Filippo Colarossi and the Académie Witti.
He worked in the Art Nouveau style during the 1890s. From 1899–1907 Golovin contributed to Mir Iskusstva exhibitions and designed several covers for the journal. He co-designed the interior of the craft section of the Russian Pavilion for the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900. In 1906 Diaghilev included Golovin's work in his Russian art exhibition at the Salon d'Automne in Paris.
Golovin began producing designs for the theatre in 1897. In 1899 and 1900 he designed productions for Savva Mamontov's Private Russian Opera, and in 1901 for The maid of Pskov for the Bolshoi Theatre. He became an advisor for the Imperial Theatres in 1902 and principal designer in 1908, working with the company until 1917.
Diaghilev collaborated with Golovin on the Saisons Russes from 1908–13: the opera Boris Godunov (1908); The maid of Pskov (1908, with Nicholas Roerich and Sergi Stelletsky); L'Oiseau de feu (1910); Swan lake (1911, a collaboration with Konstantin Korovin); and the opera Ivan the Terrible (1913). Back in Russia he designed for a production of Masquerade (1917) at the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St Petersburg. From then until his death he worked mainly as a stage designer in Russia (from 1927 as designer for the Moscow Art Theatre) and Europe.

During the Spring for sure but my delima would be between the following:
Hunt the Eastern mainly because thats the one that gives most of us the most trouble....and has the best gobble
If I chose this.............I'd hunt him with a shotgun with a requirement that he enter within a 20 yard circle before I shot....and I'd probably not put shells in my gun until the season was almost over
Hunt the Merriams in Wyoming, South Dekota, Montana, or New Mexico so I could experience the beautiful ground they walk on while hunting.
It would be the same rules...got to be close in and near the end of the season.
Although government regulation is way out of control in my opinion.....they take and waste our money...regulate every possible aspect and pretty much control our lives...and we take it........but putting a tight limit on turkey harvest would prove beyond doubt that its rebellion time......got to have our priorities straight and draw the line somewhere :D

"Quitters never Win and Winners never Quit!" – Vince Lombardi
"Once you quit… you will quit again…and again, it will become part of your character"- unknown
"There's only one thing that can guarantee our failure, and that's if we quit." -unknown
"Once you learn to quit…it becomes a habit"- Vince Lombardi
"Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." Conrad Hilton
Now this may go against the grain of modern popular thinking, but I still believe that you can never quit. As stated in the quotes above, quitting is directly related to success and failure. In life, I believe that failure is not an option. Because failing means that you gave up.. you quit.
You can make mistakes, you can get knocked down… but you must get back up to be a success in life.
Winning is everything! Yes it is… that does not mean you score more or make more money, or have a bigger house. Winning in life is achieving your goals and accomplishing tasks. That is winning. And you will never win if you give up or quit.
As we are in the mode of making resolutions for the new year, many people say.. I need to quit this or that in the new year. Lets take eating right as an example.
Do you need to quit eating junk… or do you need to start eating good food?
You may need to loose weight, do you do this by quiting the junk food, or eating right?
You see it may give you the same result, but coming at it from a successful mindset rather than a quitters mindset may make a bigger difference. If I want to be successful at eating better foods, then it will cause me to plan better meals, watch what I eat when dining out, maybe throw in some exercise, and start sharping my mind.
On the other hand if I am just going to quit eating junk..then that is all I will do.
I agree with Vince Lombardi… "Once you learn to quit..it becomes a habit". Once you get used to quitting it becomes easier and easier to quit. You quit on something small, and then the next time the situation gets to tough.. you quit again.. and again…and again.
This will lead you to failure in the long run.
Boy Scouts do not quit. They try and try again. You may have set backs and stumble, but the test of your character is measured by the amount of times you get back up and try again.
This is success.
"Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."- Thomas Edison
The Scout Law tells us to be Brave, it takes a certain amount of bravery not to give up.
I will leave you with one final quote from a man that has inspired many. Jimmy Valvano, in a speech given at the 1993 ESPY awards gave an inspirational speech about never giving up.
Toward the end of the speech he said "DON'T GIVE UP..DON'T EVER GIVE UP!" That is the motto of the Jimmy V foundation. It is centered on finding a cure for Cancer, but the theme resonates in our daily lives of achieving success!
Happy Scouting!

Reef for life, just starting "Fresh!"
Hello! I've been running a Reef tank for about 6 years now. I have not had any problems thus far and I love keeping that reef happy.
Its a 75 gallon, with a 20 gallon long sump. I have an ASM G1-x protein skimmer, a 10 gallon section filled with Cheato Marcoalgae grass, and a 6 bulb Sunlight Supply Tek light kit. In the tank I have:
Fish- a single Ocelarius Clown, a fox faced rabbit fish, a mandarin dragonet, watchman goby, a clown goby,
Inverts- two cleaner shrimp, 10 turbo snails, 12 nassarius snails, and 1 Mexican Turbo snail.
Corals- Green star polyps, watermelon, alien-eye, blue, green Zoas, Blue-green Ricordias, Blue Ricordias, Blue Acropora, Green Millepora, Red shelving Montipora, Alien-eye Chalice, Purple green-eye chalice, Xenias, Papaya Cloves, Galaxia Coral, Ducan coral, Dendrophyllia, Pink Birds nest, Pink Styllophora, Purple tip green frogspawn, Branching Torch, non-branching torch, a white spot purple encrusting montipora, a superman encrusting montipora (blue flesh, red polyps), a green hornet pavona, an orange hornet pavona, 6 different polyps of acans, and about a thousand blue star polyps, and a thousand purple mushrooms (they never go away!).
Now I am starting a 29 gallon freshwater tank. It will be a planted tank with rams as the centerpiece. I will probably have a school of cardinals as well as Julii corys and otocinclus. Some of the plants I'd like to get are baby tears in the foreground, anubias or swords in the background and something in the mid ground =). The filter is a API Rena Filstar xp3 rated for 125 gallons, filled with filter floss, activated carbon, Fluval ClearMax, and API BioChem Stars. The heater is attached to the filter. The Light is a 4 bulb t5 light fixture.
I have worked at a local fish store for years and know quite a bit about fish but I love to learn new things, so I am always open to listening to others.
Welcome to Fish Lovers Not-So-Anonymous.
Can we have some pics of that reef tank? :)

I can definitely post some pictures as soon as I get some taken! Salt is difficult if you don't care for it. But the best decision you can make is to spend a bit extra money than you want on the initial set up. If you don't spend the money on the tank initially, you will beat yourself up and then need to buy it anyways.

|Fiction: "If you're eating a healthy, well-balanced diet including all four food groups, you don't need a multivitamin," says Laura Knobel, M.D., F.A.A.F.P., a board member with the American Academy of Family Physicians. "But if you're always rushing around, skipping meals and slacking on nutrition, it probably won't hurt to take one." Look for one that contains 100 percent of the daily value for most nutrients (more than 100 percent isn't necessary), and talk to your doctor before starting them if you take prescription medications.

| Fact: "Some vitamins may affect how certain drugs are absorbed," says Jeffrey C. Delafuente, F.C.C.P., F.A.S.C.P., professor of pharmacotherapy at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. "For example, vitamin K may interfere with the effectiveness of certain drugs such as warfarin. That's why it's important to tell your doctor everything you take, including vitamins and other supplements."

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fact: Dietary supplements, including vitamins, don't have to be tested to be proven safe or effective before being sold. "You can't always be sure what the label says is what's actually in there unless you seek a product that has a quality seal issued by an organization such as U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP), which sets standards for how these products are produced," says Delafuente. Several independent organizations offer quality testing to ensure a product was properly manufactured and contains the ingredients listed on the label. Organizations that offer such testing include US Pharmacopoeia, Consumerlab.com and NSF International.

| Fiction: Many people think if a little of something is good, a lot is even better. "But taking mega-doses of specific vitamins can be harmful," says Conrad L. Flick, M.D., F.A.A.F.P., a board member with the American Academy of Family Physicians. "For example, excessive amounts of vitamin A in pregnancy are associated with birth defects." Also, high doses of vitamin D can increase the risk of side effects, such as nausea, vomiting or heart rhythm problems. In fact, high doses of any vitamin may cause side effects not seen at the usual label-recommended doses. To avoid overdosing, always follow the label instructions.

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fiction: You may have heard that vitamin B-12 can give you an energy boost. "But unless you have a condition in which there's a B-12 deficiency, such as pernicious anemia, it's not going to do anything for your energy levels," says Dr. Knobel. "There are many other reasons you may be feeling tired, so it's best to see your doctor to be evaluated."
(Photo: J. Siemens/The Image Bank/Getty Images)
The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fact: Our bodies need vitamin D to absorb calcium, but we need sunlight to make vitamin D. "In places such as the Northeast, you may not make adequate vitamin D from November to March," says Flick. "About half of my patients are vitamin D deficient." A simple blood test can tell you if you need a vitamin D supplement. But because it's not always included in the blood work you receive during a wellness exam, ask your doctor to include it.

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fiction: Not necessarily, says Flick. "Poisonous mushrooms are natural, but they're not good for you." Maintain the same attitude about supplements that you would for any drug: Read the label, follow the recommended dosage, and report any adverse side effects to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the manufacturer. And be wary of hype: If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Anything that claims to "cure" a certain disease or condition isn't likely to be a magic bullet.
(Photo: D. Solomon/Photodisc/Getty Images)
The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fiction: "There's no magic pill out there," says Knobel. "We don't have enough evidence that specific vitamins do or don't prevent these diseases. But we do want patients to focus on what we know will help: Exercising, eating well, limiting alcohol and not smoking." If you're worried about a condition or have a family history of a specific disease, talk to your doctor about tailoring a healthy-living plan to your individual needs.

| Fiction: Folic acid can help prevent certain birth defects, but you need to start taking it before you get pregnant and during the early weeks of pregnancy. Folic acid is a B vitamin that helps a baby's neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develop properly. If you're not taking it, it could lead to neural tube defects. Take a multivitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid before you start trying to get pregnant, and then switch to a prenatal vitamin with 600 micrograms of folic acid once you are.

The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fact: One size doesn't fit all when it comes to vitamins. "The most important issue is that many women don't get sufficient calcium and vitamin D," says Delafuente. And women who are pregnant or menstruating need more iron than men. While some brands advertise to women, the important thing to do is meet the daily recommended amounts of key nutrients. Make sure you're getting a minimum of 1000 mg of calcium (1200 mg if you're 50 or older), 600 international units (IUs) of vitamin D and 18 mg of iron daily (27 mg if you're pregnant).
(A. Unangst/ Photographer's Choice/Getty Images)
The Full Story from iVillage.com
| Fact: Because vitamins are natural, you may think they don't have side effects. But just like some of the medications you may be taking, vitamins may have side effects, too. "Sometimes we see gastrointestinal issues such as stomach upset, diarrhea or constipation or your urine may change colors or have a funny smell," says Knobel. You may be more likely to have side effects if you take more than the recommended dosage. If you recently started taking a vitamin and are experiencing new symptoms, talk to your doctor.

| Fiction: "There's no good data to show it does or doesn't make a difference," says Knobel. "What we do know is you can reduce the likelihood of getting sick in the first place by practicing healthy behaviors such as washing your hands frequently, eating well and getting adequate rest."

I got this for xmas, I wasn't expecting much from it but it really worked for me, I loved it. The art for Al Gore was dodgy and the Scammer Aliens looked too much like nude Zoidberg :shudder: but it pretty much worked well without feeling like a cameo-fest. I picked up on the BIG TWIST way early and was surprisingly moved by some of the stuff we weren't supposed to get until the end of the episode. The DVD extras are a mixed bag, some really good, but some like the deleted scenes are a joke. Overall, a high recommend for any fan.
BTW, hearing the SDCC panel and knowing I could have been there for it but had to do other stuff broke my heart.
No date on the 2nd movie, Beast with a Billion Backs, but I'm betting sometime near the spring (these are being produced on roughly a TV schedule, they're produced as 4 episodes each).

As today, starting developing a Rails 3 application using the default libraries is very easy, but when we want to use those tools that were great in Rails 2, some problems begin to appear.
These problems aren't caused in any way due that Rails or the libraries are unstable. What happens is that a lot of plugins and gems had to update their integration with the framework and some chose to create pre-release versions, others to create branches and others just to bump to a new version, which means we have to hunt which version to use and from where in order to get compatible features.
To simplify the work of many people and to encourage the adoption of Rails 3, I decided to create a template that configures the gems I most use in my projects and installs them in the application, along with other tasks that can be easily followed in the script.
If you appreciate this work, please consider to recommend me at Working With Rails.

An increasing number of apps that allow users to send messages to one another for free are whittling away at the profits of wireless carriers, reports The New York Times. And the problem is only expected to get worse with this week's release of iMessage, Apple's new free iOS-to-iOS messaging service.
Last year, the wireless industry as a whole made $20 billion off of more than 2 trillion text messages. Verizon Wireless alone brings in $7 billion a year in revenue, about 12 percent of its business, according to Stanford C. Bernstein analyst Craig Moffett.
"There's a huge amount at stake here," said Moffett. "They are undermining the core business model for an industry that makes most of its money from services that are high priced and low bandwidth, like texting."
If you ask us, that "core business model" is more like a "giant rip off." SMS text messages, which are a very small amount of data, cost wirless carriers about one third of a penny to send, according to University of Waterloo professor Srinivasan Keshav, who studies mobile technology. Compare that to the 10 to 20 cents carriers charge customers for text messages and you have a serious case of price gouging on your hands – a markup of more than 4,000 percent.
The proliferation of free texting services, which includes everything from apps like WhatsApp Messenger to Facebook Messenger to BlackBerry Messenger and even Twitter, will eventually force the wireless industry to change their ways – and, in a small way, they already are. AT&T, for example, will soon off customers a $20-per-month messaging plan, or the option to send messages for 20 cents apiece, sent and received. The company will no longer offer 1,000 text messages per month for $10.
Verizon, on the other hand, seems undeterred by increased competition, telling the Times that it sees free messaging services as merely "complimentary" to text messaging plans.

IMO The biggest problem with adding a cash prize is our sport is "JUDGED" therefore it is subjective and not always a clear winner. In horse races everybody can tell who won. The dog games have plenty of issues without adding cash prizes.
That being said there have been a few events run for cash and prizes over the years.
To my knowledge the S.R.S. is the only sanctioned circuit that plays for cash.
May you pin all the marks and line the blinds

The dog games are one of the few competitions where a broke guy can run his dog against a millionaire's dog and may the best dog win..
And man it sure does feel good when your the broke guy that wins!
When I say win I mean earn a $3 ribbon of any color.
Though I've never trained an FC much less an NFC, I've heard rumors of people making pretty good money on stud fees with a NFC. Particularly with a chocolate lab, or other breeds that haven't seen or rarely see NFC's or NAFC's. So, if your the best, it may be somewhat indirect, but I would still argue that you could make some money back on your "investments".
I can remember the first e-mail I sent out to all my friends when my first dog got her Junior title...it went like this
10 month lab puppy $850.00
Locating and hiring local trainer to train dog & me for 4 months $2,200
Training equipment for home (electronic collar, bumpers, dokkens, etc) $500.00
Gas, hotel expenses, food, etc. traveling during first hunt test season $1,000.00
Hunt Test entry fees $450.00
Winning that Junior Title in Cheraw, SC was PRICELESS...
And as we progressed through Senior and Master, I never considered costs or winning ribbons...it has been a "priceless" journey for Me and Mercy...and I'm starting all over again with a 2 year old! And then I could only begin to tell you all the great people I've met and the special friendships I've made. I've only been in the sport for 4 years, but it's been some of the best times of my life!

If you think it's lame to put HT titles on your dogs or compete for a blue ribbon - then you don't love the game.
If you want to be financially incented for your performance or that of your dogs- I'd suggest getting a sales job and would "second" Bon's suggestion of running the SRS.

Atc Instructions
Posted 05 January 2011 - 04:27 PM
We hold an ATC Chat/Swap once a month. Check the calendar for dates and times. We get together and your hosts will either present you with a challenge or we will brainstorm with you to get ideas and then vote on the next theme. Next, the fun continues as you let your creative juices flow to design your card. The basics are:
1. Create your ATC with your interpretation of the theme. Your original ATC file should be 3.5 inches x 2.5 inches or 1050 pixels x 750 pixels (can be portrait or landscape orientation) at 300 pixels per inch. Be sure to sign and date your. Post your ATC to the gallery here , as well, to share with all of our members.
2. Email the full resolution (300 dpi saved at high quality), flattened jpg version to me at firstname.lastname@example.com . I find it best to email your copy immediately when you're finished that way you won't have me bugging you down the road with reminders and no one will miss out on your beautiful work!
3. For uploading to the gallery, save a copy of your ATC at 72 dpi jpeg, then upload. Be sure to share the link in the current ATC thread so we can leave you some love.
4. Join in the next chat so we can ooo and ahhh over our creations and get all excited about the next theme.
5. The day after chat I will zip and email all copies of ATC's I have received.
I hope this helps clear up any questions you have – but if you have more questions feel free to send me a message!
Posted 05 January 2011 - 04:31 PM
I love this chat and can't wait for the class tonight!
See ya' there.....

Hi Belle
I would love to do this but I have to much on my plate at the moment and DH is still on leave. Do you have this everymonth like the Swapcrop?
I saw your question and yes -- ATC chat is held each month -- I believe the next one is feb 2.
I joined the chat in october and it's really a fun one.
If you look in the ATC gallery you will see that there sure are a lot of talented people making them -- December was especially beautiful.
There's always an interesting theme and it was decided last night that this month's is "friendship" -- any aspect of friendship. As Lei said "remember this is your atc and your interpretation"
I especially love how often people "think outside the box" on the ATC's and there are many different "takes" on the theme.
At the end of the month, Lei zips up copies of all the ATC's made and emails them to us to print or save.
(I hope it's ok to answer this, Lei and that I was accurate!)

I have a few dumb questions!!! In making the digital ATCs, do you print out on paper, then glue to card stock? Then do you cut out with scissors or knife (which is easier?) I haven't found thse type of details anywhere. I know you can buy ATC blanks, do you use them or regular card stock?
Thanks for answering.

It looks like you all are having fun! I've been in postcard swaps before in artist/watercolor forums.

Jean, did you see these posts: post #17 and post #18
For regular digital ATCs which have no backs, I usually just print directly onto cardstock and cut them out with a paper trimmer. For hybrid ATCs which do have backs, I design the front of the card and the back of the card and place them end to end in a blank document (I can get several on a page) then I print them onto cardstock, cut them out with a paper trimmer and just fold in half (this way there is no need to line up the fronts to the backs) Then I just use double sided tape to adhere them together. Hope this is helpful to you. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you need more information

ATC's. I just don't get it. I've asked once before but it still does not make sense. I'm not being critical, the cards are all beautiful with lovely quotes. What I don't understand is why? Why make them? How do we use them? Why do I want other peoples cards? I can't use them because they have someones name and date on them. Why do they have a name and date on? Some of the cards could possible be used as a greeting card but not with the names on. Some of them are so personal to the person making them, they cannot possible be used by anyone else. Please explain the whole idea and use of the cards to me. I don't get it.Make the cards by all means but why swap???? I hope I don't sound horrible, the cards are really beautiful and some are funny but I don't get it.
Here are some links with more information for you Belle:
Elisha's NL Article
I'll see if I can get some more info for you later and there is a lot of information available online - Try Googling Artist Trading Cards. HTH
I'll try to answer your questions: First, the whole idea behind them is that they are used for trading. ATC stands for Artist Trading Cards (kind of like sports cards and they are the same size as sports trading cards - 2.5 x 3.5 inches) and they are primarily intended to be traded. They are not intended to be used as greeting cards. Many traders (myself included) collect them and keep them in clear plastic sleeves (like those used for sports cards). The sleeves are approximately 8.5 x 11 inches and each sleeve has pockets to hold 9 cards and can be placed in a three ring binder. I have heard that one of the general rules of ATCs are that they must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches in size and they may not be sold - they may only be traded or given. The reason the artist puts his/her name on the card is so the person who receives that card will know the name of the creator/artist.
In addition to the monthly digital ATC swap that I coordinate, there is a bi-monthly hybrid ATC swap that Carla coordinates and it is a ton of fun.

1. Why would you want someone's name on the front?
2. Does anyone actually print these things? Do you keep them on your hard drive? Do you ever refer to them? Do you discard them?
I would love to hear some opinions. Why do you make them? Why do you keep them? What do you do with them?
I never comment on any of the ATC's because I don't understand them and I don't just want to say over and over, Pretty card.
Does anybody agree with me or am I just being difficult?
Once again, I must say that all the cards are really lovely and I can see a lot of hard work goes into making them. I hope I have not upset anybody.
Thanks for the links Theresa.

I've read the articles, googled and It seems people just like to swap things.

Hi Belle,
It looks like you were typing this at the same time I was editing my last reply lol.
I'll try to help answer your questions:
1. People sign and date ATCs so the recipients will know who created them.
2. Digital ATCs (those made entirely on the computer) may be printed out and kept in binders as I mentioned in my edited post above: post #16. It's up to the collector to decide if they want to print the cards to collect them, or just leave them on their computers.
We make them to trade/swap with other ATC artists and we just keep them and build collections for our own personal enjoyment. I think of it this way: some people collect art in the form of paintings. I think of ATCs as miniature works of art and I like to collect art in the form of miniatures rather than paintings.
Maybe someone else will come along with more information for you.
I don't think you have upset anybody at all.
Posted 29 August 2013 - 09:24 AM
Three rules apply to ATCs: First, dimensions of an ATC are always 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. It doesnt matter whether the card is oriented in the portrait or landscape lay-out, but the actual dimensions are not negotiable.
Second, by definition, Artist Trading Cards are never sold. They can only be traded or given away. Cards of this size and conformity that are sold are referred to as ACEOs, or Art Cards, Editions, and Originals.
And lastly, ATC's are signed and numbered by the artist as for any other valuable collectible. Typically, the artist will sign the back of the card with the following information: the name of the art piece, the artists name and on-line ID, email or web address, the date, and the individual card numbers.
Most serious ATC artists give their cards two numbers. The first is the actual design number each uniquely designed card or card set/series receives a sequential number for the design. As miniature collectibles, ATCs are made in limited numbers and often in sets of either like cards or theme-related cards and the cards within a set are also numbered.
When the card is a one of a kind, unique ATC, its referred to as an original and numbered 1/1 or 1 of 1. When sets of nearly identical ATCs are created, they are called editions and are numbered according to how many cards are in the set or edition, such as 1/10, or 1 of 10. Sometimes a group of ATCs will be created based on a theme. They are not identical but they share common elements that link them in what is called a series. They are numbered as for an edition, but are identified as a series. This information can be written randomly on the back of the card or on a variety of stamped templates including those designed specifically for ATCs. Small stickers with the information printed on it can also be used, although the artists actual signature or initials are usually handwritten.
Posted 29 August 2013 - 09:42 AM
ATC's are just like anything else that someone collects (sports cards, coins, trinkets on a shelf). They're collected because the collector enjoys looking through/at them. It's okay to not understand the desire. (I have no idea what my FIL sees in the cut-crystal figurines he collects, and he has three huge curios and a small one full to overflowing with them.)
To answer your questions:
- We sign them just as any artist signs their work. I personally have a few favorite artist that I keep a look out for.
- Yes, I print them and keep them in a binder, although I will admit that I don't necessarily print all of them, just the ones I really like.
- Yes, I look through them, just like someone that looks through their stamp collection.
- Why? Because they're pretty, they're funny, they're styles that I admire but never pull-off well, I just like them...
- As for commenting, comment like you would any other layout. Pick out some features that you like (i.e. great blending, love that ribbon you chose, etc.)
I'm sure that you haven't offended anyone, any more than I've offended my FIL. Hope I've helped to answer your questions.

Dutch Scene: Ramzi Tamaditi and Fred Sikking Victorious Over Weekend
- Published in Europe
- Written by Rian Scalia
- 0
Yesterday in Hilversum, Holland, Twilight Fight Night played host to a few notable match-ups in the Dutch kickboxing scene. Two fighters that are definitely not known enough at all for how good they are, Ramzi Tamaditi and Fred Sikking each fought.
Both Tamaditi and Sikking are rather unknown outside of Holland and deserve some recognition. Tamditi fights in the stacked 70kg division and should be on an It's Showtime card. He fought Leory Kaestner at It's Showtime's event back on March 6th and came up short, losing a decision. Fred Sikking is in the 85kg division and has had mixed result at the higher levels. He recently split a two fight series with Moises Ruibal and got knocked out by Bogdan Stoica in February. Both fighters are on the cusp of breaking into the more prominent stages and needed wins yesterday to advance forward.
Tamaditi took on Egon Racz, a Slovakian fighter who now trains out of Mike's Gym. Racz is a good litmus test for a fighter's level and Ramzi took a decision over him. The win moves Ramzi a step closer to the bigger stages of kickboxing. It's never certain when one fighter will finally get the opportunity and some guys will hover around the Dutch scene for a long time.
Fred Sikking also moved forward with a decision win over Rodney Glunder. Glunder is a pretty decent win and moves Sikking up the ladder. It's surprising that Sikking hasn't gotten an opportunity on an It's Showtime card, especially with their efforts to establish an 85kg division. He would be a good fight for Sahak Parparyan.
A lot of guys like Tamaditi and Sikking hover around the Dutch and obscure European scenes for a very long time without getting any opportunities on the big stage. Now with more stable organizations popping up, there's hope that more fighters can get the recognition they deserve.

Since I got my ipod touch for xmas, I have been using it occasionally as an e-reader. I've read a couple Dashiell Hammett stories and have a slew more of that and Raymond Chandler books saved in there so far. It turns out my lack of reading is just that I hate dealing with the physical books, they're relatively heavy and I don't like dealing with the spine having to be a choice - I like flat books, but hate breaking the book's spine. Right now, it's just hard-boiled detective tales for the most part, although "Afraid of a Gun" involved no detectives. But "Bodies Piled Up", that short story would make a cool movie.
Finally read an entire book. I have had less time to read lately, so it's been a stretched-out process. :upset:
I wasn't aware that the Darth Bane books were a trilogy (says so in the third book's acknowledgements page), but I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised. These have all been good reads, and Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil kept me guessing and reading on. Ending is either expected or surprising, depending on how you focused on plotlines and details; that's the mark of a good novel. Good job, Drew K.!
Anyone know of any online auctions for more time? ;)
Read Raymond Chandler's "The High Window", good book with a slightly unsatisfying wrap-up.
I finished Hitler's War by Harry Turtledove this morning. The long and short of it is what would have happened if Nevil Chamberlin wouldn't have given into Hitler's demands, thus World War II would have started a couple of years earlier. The war wasn't finished when the book was so I presume this will be a new series.
Finally finished the first Coruscant Nights book. It wasn't bad, but just disjointed. The author had written several SW books before, and it was like he pulled his favorite characters from the past and drop them in one story.
I picked up Deathtroopers for a great price last night. Might have to read that next.
I felt that 1st Coruscant Nights book was a little slow to read as well, but the next 2 in the series were better.
I still need to pick up Deathtroopers and the latest Darth Bane book.
This morning I finished Duel In The Sun, its about Alberto Salazar, Dick Beardsby and the 1982 Boston Marathon which has been called the best marathon ever run. Its a quick read and nothing all that special.
Yet another running book for me, this time it was Sub 4:00, it follows Allen Webb and the University of Michigan track team for a season back in 2001. Allen was the first high school boy to break the 4 minute mile in 36 years, infact he broke the national mile record which was 38 years old.
Last night I finished book two of The Journal's of Lewis and Clark. They are the Nicholas Biddle edition from 1904. I've been reading them off and on for several years. While the Journals have great info they can be quite boring at times. Lots of woke up, traveled in this direction etc with nothing all that "special" happening. Plus at times Clark would copy what Lewis said and vice versa so you can read the same dry report twice for the same day. That being said the Journal's are an absolute AWESOME source of info on one of the most badash trips made. One of these years I'll read the entire Journal.

TUPELO – Warm weather didn't stop hundreds of people from spending their lunch hours eating steaming bowls of chili at the 13th annual Chili Fest in downtown Tupelo on Friday.
In fact, it just might have helped.
"The sun's been out today and everybody seems to be enjoying it," said Allie West, program associate for the Downtown Tupelo Main Street Association. "I think the turnout has been great. There's been a diverse lunch crowd of downtown employees and families."
Festival-goers filled tables set up near a stage where Tatum Shappley entertained the crowd with his acoustic guitar from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Among them was a group from Millcreek of Tupelo, a rehabilitation center for people with disabilities.
"We brought 13 with us today," said Latoya McGee as she helped a young woman feed herself. "We brought them last year, too. We do daily outings – whatever's going on in Tupelo – to get them out and about. They seem to enjoy it."
Competitors seemed to enjoy it, too. One group called itself Butt Naked Chili – No Topping Required. Another was Trailer Trash Chili Bash – Honey Boo Boo's Favorite.
Sons of Chili, a group of employees from Sherman RV Center, were brand new to the Chili Fest this year.
"It was a spur-of-the-moment deal," said team member Mike Allred. "We decided we wanted to interact with the community."
The group put their heads together to come up with an original chili recipe for the contest, which they're keeping secret.
"We plan on doing the competition in New Albany and we're going to do this one again next year, for sure," said team member Brent Cantrell.
A team from BancorpSouth, Bosom Buddies, was back again for the 13th time. Their tent was decked out in bright pink, as a nod to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"We've entered every year," said team member Dani Maddox, who cooks the group's chili. "In 2004 we won second place and the next year, we won first. And we haven't won since. I don't know why. I use the same recipe. I guess it's just different judges."
Festivities continued in the evening, from 5 to 10 p.m., with the Tupelo band 2 Drink Minimum entertaining the crowd, and the announcement of the contest winners.

It's an even more popular maxim than usual this year, but 2013 looks like a year of coupon-clipping (earning your coupon income and nothing more) for high-yield bond investors, according to many fund managers.
Granted, junk bonds are notorious for never returning their actual coupon amount in a given year, historically overshooting or undershooting preseason expectations based on shocks and volatility and capital gains and losses and all those unpredictable things that tend to happen during the course of a year. But Ray Kennedy, who manages the $750 million Hotchkis & Wiley High Yield Fund (HWHIX), is among the coupon advocates heading into 2013.
"It's going to be all about coupon clipping for the next 12 to 18 months," Kennedy said at a recent visit with Barron's. "Investors have seen double-digit returns recently but that's probably not going to happen again."
Kennedy doesn't see an imminent jump in interest rates, nor any imminent exodus from bond funds.

OXFORD – A June 10 trial is set for a Lee County man accused of enticing a minor female for sex.
Matthew Blake Whitt, 24, of Tupelo, faces a two-count federal indictment that he persuaded a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct to make visual depictions and that he used a cellphone to entice her to have sex with him.
The second charge, the document states, would constitute statutory rape and sexual battery if prosecuted under Mississippi law, and creation of child pornography under U.S. law.
He pleaded not guilty and remains free on bond.
Whitt also faces a three-count indictment by a Lee County grand jury charging him with having sex with a minor female.
