For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to penicillin v potassium: oral powder for reconstitution, oral tablet
In general, side effects associated with oral penicillin therapy have been reported much less frequently than with parenteral penicillin therapy. However, all degrees of hypersensitivity, including fatal anaphylaxis, have been reported with oral penicillin.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects have included nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, diarrhea, and black hairy tongue. Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea has been reported and may occur during or after therapy. Pancreatitis, intestinal necrosis, and blood in the stool have also been reported.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity reactions with penicillin are more common and more serious with intravenous therapy, but have also been reported with oral therapy. An initial sensitizing exposure is required to stimulate the production of antigen-specific IgE before clinical manifestations of hypersensitivity are seen on the second exposure. There are numerous "hidden" environmental or occupational exposures to penicillin including in utero exposure, breast milk exposure, and occupational exposure.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects have included skin eruptions (maculopapular to exfoliative dermatitis), pruritus, urticaria, laryngeal edema, fever, eosinophilia, hypersensitivity myocarditis, serum sickness-like reactions (chills, fever, edema, arthralgia, and prostration), severe or fatal anaphylaxis, shock, and death.[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects have included rash, peeling, mucosal ulceration, and urticaria.
Hematologic side effects have included hemolytic anemia, anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and lymphadenopathy.
Hepatic side effects have included increased SGOT, reversible hepatotoxicity, jaundice, and prolonged cholestasis.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects have included severe reactions with high dose penicillin therapy or in patients with renal dysfunction. These reactions have included myoclonus, seizures, auditory and visual hallucinations, and decreased mentation. Neurologic reactions occurred frequently in patients with renal dysfunction. Aseptic meningitis has been reported.
Severe neurologic reactions were most often seen with penicillin doses of 18 million to 80 million units daily. These reactions frequently abated after discontinuation of penicillin. In several cases, penicillin was restarted at a lower dose with no further sequelae. In one review, the authors found that cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) penicillin levels were higher in patients with seizures than in those without. CSF penicillin levels ranged from 12 to 61 units/mL in the seizure group with the highest CSF concentrations, compared to 7.8 units/mL in the group without seizures.
Other side effects have included fatigue, asthenia, pain, abnormal taste perception, tinnitus, and aggravation of existing disorders.
Respiratory side effects have included hypoxia, apnea, and dyspnea.

Does anybody have any Recipes for canning Salmon ?Thank's guy's .
Does anybody have any Recipes for canning Salmon ?Thank's guy's .
Yes - and man do I miss those pints!
This is best done with ocean fresh salmon, since the scales are easily blown off with a garden hose. You generally want to leave the skin on when canning for better flavor and more moistness, but I guess you don't have to. Big canneries leave the bones in too, but I usually fillet the fish which eliminates them. Any left in will be soft after canning.
Take the pint jar, and put a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a tablespoon of light olive oil, and a dash of your favorite spices (optional) into the bottom of the jar. I think there may have been a pinch of salt and mrs.dash's in the last batch or pickling spices, have to check... that was 8 years ago the autumn before I moved from the PNW.
Then pack the jar but leave a little room on top! The oils fill it up pretty good when pressure cooking, maybe 1/2-3/4".
My pressure pot does the job in 90 minutes at 15# pressure, if I recall - read the booklet for your particular cooker. I'd recommend doing a couple pints first as a trial run, then going for the full pot once you've tuned it in.
When the jars come out the lids will pop inward signalling a successful seal. If any jars don't pop-in, eat it right away. You won't regret it!
About the best thing you can do with them is to make salmon patties, which are like crab cakes with home-canned salmon. Delicious! I'd have to ask the wife for that recipe... but man are they good.
But the majority of them were eaten by popping with a fork handle right out of the jar with some good crackers.
Bon appetit!

The Record has published scholarly articles concerning New York families, their antecedents, and descendants since 1870.
Potential authors are advised to study recent issues of The Record to become familiar with the kind of manuscripts generally accepted for publication. Modeling the style of your submission after a similar recent article increases its chances for acceptance and streamlines the editorial process.
In general, your submission should be a unique manuscript that has not been published (or submitted for publication) elsewhere. If any of the material in your article has been or will be published elsewhere, please discuss this with the editors before sending your work.
The primary focus of articles should be on residents of New York State and its colonial predecessors. Articles dealing with adjacent areas and/or countries of origin will also be considered if there is significant migration to or from New York State. Articles may address families belonging to any ethnic or religious group and may cover any time period, but should not mention persons who could still be alive.
Several types of articles are appropriate for submission:
- Solutions to difficult problems, such as identifying a spouse, parents, or another place of residence, with the associated genealogical summary.
- Compiled genealogies of families beginning with an immigrant (in any time period) and covering the initial generations in America.
- Compiled genealogies beginning with a later American generation, especially those that illustrate use of unusual sources.
- Origins of New York families in foreign countries or other colonies or states, with the associated genealogical summary.
- Corrections or additions to a prior article in The Record. Consult with the editor first if the article corrects material in a book. Corrections of less than article length are appropriate for submission for the "Additions and Corrections" section of the October issue.
- Transcriptions or abstracts of genealogically and/or historically relevant records.
The Peer-Review Process
Manuscripts will be evaluated by the editors and additional reviewers well versed in your subject matter to assess its suitability for publication. We use a double-blind review method in which the identity of both author and reviewer is unknown to the other, ensuring anonymity and objectivity. In some cases manuscripts are immediately accepted for publication. In others, the team of reviewers will ask for revisions before they arrive at a final decision. The manuscript will be returned to the author with the reviewers' comments and suggestions. The revised manuscript will be reassessed, and if all concerns have been met, it will be accepted for publication. Once an article is tentatively accepted the author will be asked to sign a standard Letter of Agreement, and the editorial process will begin. View a sample copy of the Letter of Agreement [1], outlining the author's and publisher's rights and responsibilities in detail.
Manuscripts sometimes undergo substantial revision and/or reorganization during the editing process, but the author is included in this process to ensure accuracy. We are working on manuscripts for future issues as well as the current one, so there might be a substantial delay before an accepted article appears in print. In addition to editing, all source citations are verified for accuracy. The author can streamline the process by providing scanned copies of documents that are difficult or impossible to access.
General Considerations
1. Articles should be submitted electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com [2] or by mail on a CD or flash drive. Files must be in Microsoft Word.
2. Generally speaking, shorter articles are reviewed more quickly and published more quickly, but manuscripts of all lengths will be considered. Articles up to twelve pages in length (about 7200 words) will be published in a single issue; those longer than twelve pages may be published in two or more parts. In general, articles published in The Record are no longer than 22 pages (about 13,200 words), but longer manuscripts will be considered. [Use the "Word Count" feature of Word (found on the Tools menu in Word 2003, and in the Review toolbar in Word 2007) to determine the length of your manuscript; check the box for "Include footnotes."]
3. Articles other than record transcriptions and abstracts should include a fully documented genealogical summary. In general, The Record uses Register format to present the genealogical summary. [See Joan Ferris Curran, Madilyn Coen Crane, and John H. Wray, Numbering Your Genealogy: Basic Systems, Complex Families, and International Kin, rev. ed., ed. Elizabeth Shown Mills (Arlington, Va.: National Genealogical Society, 2008).]
4. Every statement of fact other than those that are common knowledge must carry a source citation. Citations generally follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010), and Elizabeth Shown Mills, Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace, 2nd ed. (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 2009).
Style and Citation Guidelines
- Precise source citations are required for every genealogical assertion. There should be an associated footnote for every statement of fact. During final editing several footnotes may be combined, but give separate citations in the submitted article to be certain that everything does indeed have a citation.
- Uncertainty should be expressed by the use of appropriate qualifiers such as likely, possibly, probably.
- Relational or other qualifying wording should not be used in such a way that it might lead the reader to believe it is in the document. Such informational text should be added in editorial square brackets, for example, "John appears on the tax list with [his eldest son] William."
- Credentials and post nominals allowed in the author line are genealogical credentials from the Board for Certification of Genealogists (BCG) and the International Commission for the Accreditation for Genealogists (ICAPGen); advanced academic degrees; Fellow of the American Society of Genealogists (FASG); and Fellow of the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society (FGBS).
- In the author's biography section, it is helpful to mention the author's connection with the family being studied: "The author's husband is a descendant of John3 through son Thomas4." If the work was commissioned by someone else, that should be mentioned here. This is also the appropriate place for acknowledgements.
- Remove yourself as much as possible from the article. Use the first person sparingly.
- Use original sources wherever possible. Confirm data found in an abstract or transcription by examining the original record, or a digital or microfilm image of the original.
- Avoid Latin terms such as ibid, supra, op.cit., infra, etc.; et al. (not italicized), verso, and sic are acceptable.
- Abbreviations:
- Abbreviations will be used in footnotes, but not in the text.
- States will be abbreviated to old-style abbreviations, not postal abbreviations.
- Months will be abbreviated, except for May, June, and July.
- Miscellaneous abbreviations: Dist., dw., fam., Co., ED (for Enumeration District; Election District should be spelled out to avoid confusion), Inc., fol., vol., p., #.
- Footnote numbers should be placed after punctuation. Generation numbers should be placed before punctuation.
Genealogical Summary
The main body of an article should be followed by a genealogical summary. Articles that are primarily compilations should include a few introductory paragraphs about the family or progenitor, followed by the summary. In general, The Record uses Register format to present the genealogical summary. [See Mills, ed., Numbering Your Genealogy: Basic Systems, Complex Families, and International Kin.] The Record does deviate from the Register format in several ways, however, as outlined below.
- Include all children, with equal treatment, even children who died young.
- Discuss vital events in the order of birth, death, marriage.
- Indicate the date and place before the name of the spouse in a marriage.
- When a spouse's name is unknown (given or surname) use [–?–] to indicate the uncertainty (example: "He married Jane [–?–] before 1880." The bracketed question mark should be enclosed in parentheses when a maiden name would appear that way, for example: "John and Jane ([–?–]) Smith."
- In the children's section, separate life events using semicolons, and include the given name, generation code, and surname for each child.
- In the parents' section, the parent and spouses should be in small caps and bold.
- Their children and children's spouses should be in small caps, but not bold.
- Each individual's entry begins with their number, their name (including generational code) and (in parentheses) the names and superscripts of the ancestors in the line being traced. [Ex: 18. John4 Smith (Robert3, William2, Richard1, JohnA). Do not italicize previous generations.
- When reporting multiple marriages, express them as "married first" and "married second," not "married (1)."
- Do not Anglicize names. The exact name of the child, the exact names of the parents, and the names of the witnesses or sponsors from baptisms are part of the evidence that shows you have compiled the correct family. That evidence must be presented for the reader to evaluate. Present the exact names and places of residence.
- Dates should be given in the format 1 January 2000, unless it is within quoted material.
- Dates given as 1st month, etc., should say "12 of 1st month [January]" or "12 of 1st month [March]," depending on the time period.
- Double dates should be expressed as 2 February 1747/8.
- Birth dates calculated from exact ages, as on tombstones, should be designated as "(calculated)."
- Use "about" for dates estimated from a stated age, such as on a census, and "say" for dates estimated from life events. Include the reason for the estimate in parentheses. For example, "John Smith, born say 1750 (land purchase in 1775); married by say 1777 (baptism of child in 1778) Mary Jones."
- Use a range of statistically probable dates when estimating a birth date from a marriage date. Express the birth as "born say 1821–1826 (marriage in 1846)" for a male (probable age 20–25 at marriage) or "born say 1823–1828 (marriage in 1846)" for a female (probable age 18–23 at marriage).
- Assume the first child was born about one year after the date of marriage. Use that probability when estimating a marriage date from a known or estimated child's birth date, and express it as "married say 1834 (first-known child born 1835)." When estimating a birth year from the birth of a first-known child, use probable ages of 21–26 for a male and 19-24 for a female. Express as "born say 1821–1826 (first-known child born 1847)" or "born say 1823–1828 (first-known child born 1847)."
- Give bracketing dates when possible. For example, "She died between 6 July 1650 (birth of child) and 9 August 1651 (husband's remarriage)."
- During the Dutch period, New Amsterdam was a town in New Netherland (singular), which was a colony of the Netherlands (plural). [Dutch historians now call this political jurisdiction the Dutch Republic or the United Provinces, avoiding confusion with modern-day "The Netherlands," which is not synonymous with "the Netherlands."] During the English period, use New York City or New York.
- Since there may be a village and town of the same name in a given New York county, and sometimes the village is not in the town of that name, authors should take care to make the distinction between the two jurisdictions.
- Both "at" and "in" can be used when discussing places, but not always interchangeably. When discussing an area, "in" is the more appropriate word ["in the Town of Canisteo," not "at the Town of Canisteo"; "in the Mohawk Valley" not "at the Mohawk Valley"; "in New York State" not "at New York State"]. When discussing a particular place, both "at" and "in" could be used, but again not always interchangeably ["at 113 Pioneer Street"; "in the Dutch Reformed Church" or "at the Dutch Reformed Church"; "in the village of Canisteo" or "at the village of Canisteo"].
General Citation Formats
Citations generally follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010), and Elizabeth Shown Mills, Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace, 2nd ed. (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, 2009). Use the full citation for the first reference. Subsequently you may either use a short citation or repeat the full citation each time and the editor will shorten them. In the short citations, The Record refers back to the number of the footnote with the full citation [i.e. (note 3)]. The editors will add this cross-referencing. Some general considerations:
- Multiple citations in the same footnote are separated by periods, not semi-colons, except when citing more than one source by the same author in the same footnote.
- When citing New York City vital records, be sure to include four pieces of information: the type of record (birth, marriage, death), the jurisdiction (Borough after 1897), and year, as well as the certificate number. For example:
- Pre-consolidation: John Fick death certificate, New York City, 1872, #1234.
- Post consolidation: John Fick death certificate, New York City, 1908, Brooklyn Borough, #11121.
- Citations to websites:
- URLs should include http://www [3]... and be enclosed in parentheses.
- Access dates are not to be included.
- For citations to conveyances and wills from New York state counties, give the county and the state abbreviated as "N.Y." For example, Westchester County, N.Y., Deeds 38:45.

RE:Spey and two-handed discussion board!
Eric -
That's a great time to visit. You'll be well taken care of when you come out, I look forward to it!
RE:Spey and two-handed discussion board!
Ok, looks we're totally away from the initial subject!
I will arrive in Boston on Aug 28, spend that night with my relatives then drive down the next day, that's the 29th, a Tuesday if I'm right. I'll probably spend two nights in the area then head back to Boston on the 31st. I'll check the website you mentioned. Thanks again!
RE:Spey and two-handed discussion board!
You can probably get a little lower per night for lodging, but not much more. Yarmouth is mid-cape and although not totally polarized into one region or another, it's a fair drive to anywhere other than the Nantucket Sound beaches or Brewster Flats. All in all, it's a very good location for someone who plans to "fish around". Also, I am in the next town over so it will work out well for me to show you around.
I did a little looking around since you first asked and researched some of the nicer places in the area - none of them are under $100.
Pete L. - how much was that place in Yarmouth?
Ken J. - how about the two places you stayed?
YES! Wonderful camping at Nickerson State Park in Brewster, www.reserveamerica.com to register on-line. Also a good location for fishing from the outer beaches, Brewster flats, southside beaches, Monomoy, etc.
What are your visit dates again? (sorry to ask again)
RE:Spey and two-handed discussion board!
Hi Juro,
Can't wait to try your modified two-hander (Do you cast all that line in a regular two-handed overhead cast?)! Actually I have two problems bringing that Sage 11'3": primo I co-own the rod with a buddy (he's the one that uses it most, performs better with it, too!!) and secundo he's off to Ireland (Atlantic Salmon) this summer and wants to take it along. If for some reason I manage to get it, it'll be in my luggage.
Other question, other subject: What is a reasonable rate for a night in a motel or so on the Cape. I have managed to find a place in Yarmouth at about 80 bucks a night, that was low end! Is there any website advertising rooms for rental you know of. I was browsing the ones you find with search tools, but those are not in my budget (anymore!). Say are there any campgrounds that are worth mentioning, since I can bring a tent?
Third question: shall I bring my 12-weight rod? What lines are used most of the time? Slime line monocores?
Hope to hear from you soon,
RE:Spey and two-handed discussion board!
Say are you bringing the Sage 11'3" 8-9 wt?? I haven't seen that one and as you know they are no longer in production. I'd imagine that at that length they would be sweet to comparison cast with other two-handers.
To respond to your question, we still are trying to determine if a short two-handed rod can meet the striper fishing needs while avoiding the issues of longer rods (mentioned above).
So far, we have both a modified and an off the shelf Sage 8wt 12'4" 3 pc rod. The modified rod has been shortened. It easily casts 80 feet of 12 wt line and occasionally puts out a whole 12wt intermediate but isn't quite automatic to throw the whole line. Perhaps a setup like you mention would be an appropriate test? I've tried a hybrid head system (multi-tip) I built for steelhead and it casts very well but I would not make a 'tip' line my main striper line.
The season starting after the Monomoy Clave will be focused on Outer Beach fishing with these new rods. I'll be updating the story on the main homepage accordingly through the season.
Please bring that 11'3" 8/9 Sage two-hander if you can!!!
RE:Spey and two-handed discussion board!
Greetings Juro,
First of all thanks again for all advice you provide.
I see you're pretty much interested in gear, especially rods. Frankly, I'm a rod and casting freak always looking for the ultimate casting and fishing tool.
Using short two handed rods the way you describe it is kind of new to me, even though I have used shorter twohanders, but only of classic manufacture, i.e. slow blanks in moderate line sizes (up to 9 weight). All those rods had one thing in common: At the beginning I had great trouble heaving out (controlling a long line) decent amounts of line due to their "slow" action (Sage 11'3" 8-9 wt.). Before I forget it, we cast those rods one handed! Using shooting heads (DT lines cut in half or using 2/3 of a DT line and spliced onto flat beam running line)I somewhat managed to get along with it, but I don't like using shooting heads too much, neither do I like the soft actions. We use(d) this setup on some artificial lakes here in Europe on special occasions to make long (up to 130 ft) casts with all kinds of flies but mostly small dry flies to cruising fish (no boats allowed). In windy conditions I had great trouble laying out my (long) leader over those long distances, so I'd rather used a fast-action SP+ 8-wt. for better line control but shorter casts, though. Achieving important distances with that setup cast twohanded seems to be kind of impossible.
My questions now: Is there a short twohander that actually can throw a long line under windy conditions and that is a great fighting tool as well? The Sage rod we have is fine for all fishing up to bigger salmon but I doubt the blank has the backbone to beat strong winds and handle any strong saltwater fish especially from a boat. I might be wrong, having never fished for striped bass, though. I'm looking forward to use that magic wand!
Spey and two-handed discussion board!
If you're interested in Spey rods and two-handed overhead casting rods, ya gotta check out
Dana's way cool Spey casting site!
I made this post there in case it is of interest... much MUCH more on his great BB!
----- attached post -----
Great thread.... Nice to recognize so many folks too. As a steelie Spey addict recently transplanted to the northeast's striper country, I am also doing some research in this area. Although the line control and Spey casting capabilities of the long rods are the ultimate on steelie (salmon) rivers, I couldn't get comfortable with my any of my several Spey rods in the pounding Cape Cod surf for a number of reasons and have acquired European two-handers. Sage still maintains that initial pioneering spirit despite their success, and have been gracious enough to help through this research.
As the season is getting underway, the testing is finally getting going after the long new england winter. Look for field reports on http://www.flyfishingforum.com over the next few months. The reason I like shorter two-handed rods for the application of striped bass and other atlantic coastal species is:
a) General retrieve mechanics are to hold the rod with one hand, and strip retrieve with the other leaving the rod stationary and directed low to the water and toward the fly. Although the casting is so much easier with 14-16 feet, the operative 'fishing' is not. The strip retrieve requires bringing the whole fly line into the guides because the fish follow right to the end of the retrieve. A softer 15 foot rod is less than ideal for this because it can be top heavy and awkward in the rod hand. Just think of starting your Spey cast without the operative line length out of the guides for every cast... OK you get it. You do tuck the lower handle under the armpit, but a shorter rod is a much better strip retrieve / general fishing tool. I like 12 feet but would be happier if it were even shorter to be suitable for use on a ...
b) ... Boat. One of the great things about SWFF is the use of a boat. When fishing from a 16 ft skiff, I personally wouldn't use a rod that is as long as the boat - yet the two-handed advantage for huge lines and flies as well as fatigue free casting and fighting of large fish with a nice extension handle is something that would be very nice in a hard running offshore rip with foot long squid flies and 500 grain lines. Try that with one arm for a whole tide change!
c) Outer beaches often have a lot of flotsam and wind. Dealing with removal of 'mung' from flies is somewhat of a comedy when the wind is blowing and you are too far from the tip of the rod, cast after cast.
e) Landing the fish... it's just not the same as the ritual of bringing that hard-earned steelhead or salmon to the rivers edge. The surf is pounding with a wash that can suck a grown man into the current. Small fish (under 24") can be mixed in with a blitz of big fish (40") and the whole opportunity can be measured in minutes or even seconds. You want to be able to get at a fish quickly for removal at times, schoolie after schoolie with the sound of big cow bass busting the surface around. It's frustrating to have to mess around with too much fulcrum.
I could go on and on. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that folks think two-hands and automatically go 14 feet / Spey rod. My experiences in both domains urge me to defy that generalization, in fact they are worlds apart.
Don't get me wrong - I love to Spey fish as much as anybody on my homewaters in the pacific northwest... (just ask a lot of the guys I fish with on this BB) but if you ask me the two (surf, stream) are too often construed as the same thing. If anything, I hope the time I spend on this research project leads to a clearer understanding of the differences by the general surf fishing public out here in striper country. Better yet... a new rod design tuned into the realities of surf fishing!

Wasn't sure whether to post this in TV or Music.
It's still on, and, as normal, going through various ups and downs.
The Dixie Chicks appear to be sweeping things, which is unfortunate since this album wasn't their best by a long shot. It's all "hey, you hate Bush too" going on in the voting. :roll:
Most of the musical performances are pretty "meh." The best so far was Christina Aguilera performing James Brown's "It's a Man's World." The girl has come light years beyond her contemporaries, and she has some impressive pipes.
I'd never heard John Legend, and never heard of Corrine Bailey Ray, but their little trio with John Mayer was a close second. Quite impressive on all three counts.
This was the first time I've heard Gnarls Barkley; aside from seeing some complaints here about them, I'd never even heard of them. I actually rather dug it. Stupid name, and the Idi Amin getup was retarded, but the guy had a damned good soul voice.
The Police, well, I expected a letdown, and I was disappointed even there. They should've all stayed in bed this morning. I don't care what kind of big deal people make about them, the fact remains that it was Sting and his backing band. A good backing band, admittedly, but not in the same league as Sting himself.
The tribute to the Eagles sucked super-hard. When will people realize that they were a rock band? Country acts can get away with covering some of their early stuff, but when they try stuff like "Hotel California" or "Life in the Fast Lane" (anything after Joe Walsh joined, basically), it's a train wreck.
Carrie Underwood took home Best New Artist, so maybe she'll fade away now. I hate all the interchangeable so-called country acts, and she's among the most nondescript.
It's back....

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 52, September 15, 1995
T3E to be Displayed at the Alaska CUG
Yesterday on the firstname.lastname@example.com news reflector there was an announcement about the T3E:
**** ANNOUNCEMENT - T3E MACHINE AT CUG ALASKA **** There will be a real air cooled T3E machine with a 4 processor module installed, on display at the CUG meeting in Alaska. This will be quite a show-and-tell event available for viewing late Thursday September 28 and Friday September 29. Please spread the word!!! -- Joan Palm - CUG Office/Cray Research Inc. Conference Planning 655 A Lone Oak Drive Eagan, MN 55121 Phone: 612-683-3522 Fax: 612-683-3599 Internet: Joan.palm.cray.com
New Charging Algorithm at ARSCAs of October 1st, 1995 ARSC will be changing its algorithm for calculating Service Units (SUs). The current algorithm is:
1.000*Y-MP(CPU-hours) + 0.050*T3D(CPU-hours) + 0.005*Memory(MWord-hours) + 0.003*your Denali files(GByte-hours) ------------------------ = total SU'sThe new algorithm as of October 1st is:
1.000*Y-MP(CPU-hours) + 0.010*T3D(CPU-hours) + 0.005*Memory(MWord-hours) + 0.003*your Denali files(GByte-hours) ------------------------ = total SU'sThe only change is the charge for using the ARSC T3D:
from: 0.050 *T3D(CPU-hours) to: 0.010 *T3D(CPU-hours)This reflects a depreciation of T3D time in line with our attempts to boost T3D utilization. It brings our valuations in line with other T3D sites and advertises our wish to become a production site for T3D applications. If you have questions about this change contact Mike Ess.
Changes with the 1.2 PEThe man pages specific to the MPP machine are available with the commands:
man 1m cf77 man 1m cft77 man 1m f90These man pages list which flags are specific to the PVP machine and are no longer supported on the MPP machine. For example, the -astatic flag is no longer supported on cft77 for the MPP.
The End of an Interactive SessionAt ARSC, by default, all interactive sessions are limited to one hour of connect time to the T3D. This prevents run-away jobs and encourages users to use the NQS batch queues. Recently, a couple of users have exceeded this one hour of connect time and have not been able to continue their work on the T3D. Two typical examples are shown below:
example 1: make cf771 /mpp/bin/cf77 -dp -c ep28.f /mpp/bin/cf77 -dp -c second.f /mpp/bin/mppldr ep28.o second.o -o epcf77 epcf77 ... CPU limit exceeded Beginning of Traceback (PE 0): Started from address 0x2000000318 in routine 'EMBAR'. Called from line 270 (address 0x200000336c) in routine '$START$'. End of Traceback. Make: "epcf77" terminated due to signal 26 example 2: make cf771 /mpp/bin/cf77 -dp -c ep28.f /mpp/bin/cf77 -dp -c second.f /mpp/bin/mppldr ep28.o second.o -o epcf77 epcf77 mppexec: Could not allocate 2 PE partition Agent internal perror: ioctl: Unknown error Make: "epcf77": Error code 1In example 1, the make executed a T3D program called "epcf77"; this program exceeded the 1 hour of connect time and produced the error message:
CPU limit exceededIn example 2, make tries the same command but now the T3D program produces the error message:
mppexec: Could not allocate 2 PE partition Agent internal perror: ioctl: Unknown error Make: "epcf77": Error code 1which in this case means that all of the connect time for this interactive session has been used up.
The solution to this situation is to log out and then log back in or use the NQS queues.
List of Differences Between T3D and Y-MPThe current list of differences between the T3D and the Y-MP is:
- Data type sizes are not the same (Newsletter #5)
- Uninitialized variables are different (Newsletter #6)

There is a circular Vader logo with "Celebrate I Am Your Father's Day" blurp on the front with this years date: Sunday, June 17, 2007. Finally found a McChewie today at south GB Target; left the rest & also saw remnants of Saga Legends, but no clones.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
I was lucky enough to find wave 3 yesterday at the Falls Church Target. Has anyone seen the newest wave of Titaniums in the DC area yet?
Hasbro toy shop has the "new" shock trooper available right now. No battle droids from though.
StarWarsShop.com has CIV exclusive(yeah, right) McQuarrie C3PO/R2D2 up for prebook...RIGHT NOW!
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
So, there is a womean at work whose son collects SW and she asked me for help finding stuff for her kid. I told her I stashed a concedpt Cheiwe which he needed and where it was. I also had a Biggs stashed there too and asked her to leave the Biggs for me.
I come into work today and on my desk is Biggs with a note saying thanks for the help. Made me feel good.

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
Completely struck out in Frederick today. Target restocked with things I don't need. The Wal-mart on 85 is, as usual, worthless. The one on 26 isn't much better. Finally, TRU has nothing good.
KH - Your McFett shipped & check your PM's
Jon - Yes, I'm still interested & check your PM's
As for the Frederick crew, well I no longer work in Frederick. I was supposed to start a new job at Letterkenny Army base in Chambersburg last Tuesday and took a week off from Wells Fargo before that. Well, as per the norm with gov't work, the proper "paperwork" hasn't been completed so I'm still chillin' in my pj's here at home.
Soooooo, I've been stressing out and not in the mood to do much other than mope around and upgrade to Vista which caused more stress.
I am still here and will still check the forums & post anything I find in Hagerstown.

Found a lone Vintage Yoda at Valencia WM. Also found Cmdr Locke at Valencia KMart.
Found a lone Vintage Yoda at Valencia WM. Also found Cmdr Locke at Valencia KMart.
forgot to mention, when i went to get contacts at LF costco, I stopped by TRU and they had 4 sets of the Rebel & Imperial pilots 4 packs. I wanna saw 2 of each, but i forget exactly. Also had 1 lonely TVC ep3 Anakin.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Snagged two Special Ops Trooper/Geonosian 2-packs this morning (Target).
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
I saw a Yoda this morning at K-Mart in Banning, so that's another one I can say "it does exist" about.
That's my jacket!
Four days? Really, no one's finding anything?
If anyone considers the Palm Springs area to be part of the greater LA area, I found one each of Kup and Scourge at TRU in Palm Desert, and several of the wave 2 (I think) cartoony DC figure 2-packs across the street at Target. I also saw what I think were new Galactic Heroes at Wal-Mart in Beaumont. The only one that stood out to me as definitely being one I hadn't seen before were Quinlan Vos & too-young Barriss Offee.
(Really, did anyone read The Approaching Storm or at least consider the age of Nalini Krishan in 2002? Yeesh. Older than Anakin, folks. The cartoon is a retcon. A retcon, say I!)
That's my jacket!
Chux, I'm retconning in my own mind to make it fit: Bariss was always younger than Anakin, but since he started his training 9 years late, she was more advanced and seemed more mature than he did. On top of that, Obi-Wan pushed for his becoming a Knight (in the Gennedy cartoon) early, because of the war. I take it, Luminara was much more conservative with her padawan.
But yeah, that's a sloppy fix considering how you do point out what is a big goof.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Found all of CW Wave 10 except Cmdr Wolfe at Super WM in Valencia. The Aqua Droid is very cool. A must have!
Saw a lone vintage Ackbar at Burbank Target last night. I was very tempted since the figure looks so nice, but the card was kind of jacked. If any of you guys have a mint one, I might break my 2 year Hasbro retirement just for that one. "It's a trap!"
sorry for the lateness (got back early this am & knocked out):
Fox hills/CC Target - SW: 1 senate guard (which i picked up); no other wave 4 or beyond. Some wave 3 commandos, CW -- xanadu blood ship, Mando 4 pack, 2 or 3 Waxer/droid packs.
TF: cool dlx stuff - at least 5 RTS Tracks, a couple rts BB w/jetski, 1 RTS Prime. Banzaitron & prime voyagers too. Loved the tracks, but want a G1 version.
GI Joe -- newest Duke figure
Also went to CC and rodeo Targets - nothing great. CC/jefferson target had a 4 or 5 more of those RTS BBs/w jetski. Pretty cool.
CC TRU - nothing good.
Wonder who else is in CW wave 10? hafta look. Quick reminder - you have till the end of the month to mail away for TVC rocket firing Fett. I'm gonna send in for another. Hopefully get a clean card.

text: Bon, are you saying Ron Paul is a social centrist or liberal? He's anti abortion, pro traditional marriage, been married for 54 years and believes marriage is a states rights issue. He believes that the federal government has no business being in the marriage issue. He is a Baptist and I assume his stance is that marriage is biblically based and that if two people of the same sex get married they will ultimately answer to God for their actions. He basically believes people are responsible for their actions and decisions and should be held accountable. Kind of like government for grown ups. People have abused substances for centuries. The constitution doesn't mention banning them. Bush and Obama could smoke weed, snort cocaine yet prosecute you or I for choosing to do the same. The constitutional conservative believes you can abuse yourself at your discretion so long as you don't harm others. Personal freedom, the freedom to be a dumbass or not! We don't need a nanny state, it's proven not to work.

Any thoughts on the episode of the Glenn Beck Show last Friday?
Especially the portions about the early American Progressive Movement as Obama & (particularly) Clinton have both identified themselves with that ideology.
I wasn't aware, though, of the 1000's of dissidents that Woodrow Wilson, a "Democrat", had jailed for speaking out in opposition to his policies, even with their own homes.
It certainly does rationalize some of things that are going on in this present day, by both parties, such as the disregard of Constitutional enumerated powers/protections in reaching for increased authority for SecTreas and Obama's removal of the GM CEO among others.
Another sign of the storm that's coming, I fear.

An outstanding senior season that played a significant part in Hope's march to a league co-championship has resulted in a post-season honor for TJ Klein of Circle Pines, Minn. (Centennial HS) who has been named to the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings all-region team.
He has been named to the second team in the Mideast region which represents Division III schools in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
A three-year starter in centerfield, Klein was co-captain of the team as a junior and senior. He received All-MIAA honors for three seasons, second team in his sophomore and junior years and first team as a senior.
This season he batted .365 with a team-leading 50 hits as the Flying Dutchmen gained a share of the league championship with Adrian. He scored the game-winning run in the ninth inning of the regular season finale against rival Calvin to clinch the title share.
He ended his career with a .346 batting average, ranking among the all-time Hope leaders in several categories, including runs scored (#4-118), hits (#5-161), stolen bases (#5-30) and RBIs (#8-85). His career fielding average was a stellar .988. The Flying Dutchmen over his career posted 105 wins, the most in any four-year stretch for Hope baseball history

This uniquely engineered combination of ingredients provides a synergistic approach to wound healing while reducing the need for multiple supplements and added cost.
Nitric oxide is essential for wound healing. It increases blood and oxygen flow to the wound, increases collagen formation, reduces inflammation and kills bacteria all helping to close wounds.
Arginine is the only producer of nitric oxide, however, 40% of ingested arginine is broken down by the intestine and liver making less available for nitric oxide production.
Citrulline, prevalent in watermelon, converts to arginine but is not broken down like arginine. This conversion allows for more nitric oxide production thus facilitating healing. Citrulline has been shown to be more effective than arginine in raising plasma arginine levels.
Pro-Stat AWC contains enriched collagen protein providing a naturally occurring high nitrogen mix of all essential, conditionally essential and non-essential amino acids that is hydrolyzed (pre-digested) using papain, a fruit enzyme.
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, can significantly diminish quality of life and require substantial cost to remedy.
It is estimated that 1 to 3 million people in the US develop pressure ulcers each year. Across all settings the estimates of pressure ulcers prevalence in the US is 10% to 18% in acute care, 2.3% to 28% in long term care, and 0% to 29% in home care. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; Treatment of pressure ulcers: Quick Reference Guide. Washington DC: National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel; 2009 indicates that patients with pressure ulcers need 30 to 35 kilocalories and 1.25 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily and increased requirements for L-Arginine, L-Cystine, Vitamin C, and Zinc.
Each one fluid ounce (30 ml) serving of Pro-Stat Suger Free AWC with Citrulline contains: 17 grams of protein - 15 grams protein from enriched collagen (tryptophan and cystine added) and 2.0 grams added L-Arginine. Wheat, Lactose and Gluten Free.
Indications for Use:
For Pressure Ulcers, Wounds (Multiple, Severe, Chronic, Surgical), Diabetic Foot Ulcers, Venous Stasis Ulcers, and Burns.
Many patients in long-term health care facilities develop pressure ulcers, or bed sores.
Pro-Stat is naturally rich in Arginine, Glycine, Proline and Hydroxyproline, high nitrogen donor amino acids that are a critical factor in replenishing depleted protein stores and accelerating tissue healing in patients with pressure ulcers.
The physiological demands of repair and recovery from wounds, burns, sepsis and trauma (including surgical trauma) often require greater amounts of L-arginine than can be synthesized by the body. Additional dietary intake of L-arginine is indicated when these conditions are present:
Citrulline supplementation is an efficient alternative to oral administration of Arginine in raising its plasma levels and modulating Nitric Oxide production. A non-standard amino acid found in watermelon.
Cystine controls and promotes positive nitrogen balance for minimizing muscle breakdown and rebuilding lean body mass (LBM).
Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
Vitamin C is essential for wound healing and for the repair and maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth. Vitamin C deficiency can lead to a decreased wound-healing rate. The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it.
Zinc has been shown to be beneficial to wound healing and zinc deficiency has been associated with delayed wound healing.
Does Pro-Stat� need to be mixed?
No. Pro-Stat� is in liquid form and ready to use, shelf stable liquid.
Can diabetics use Pro-Stat�?
Pro-Stat� 64 is sugar and carbohydrate free. Pro-Stat� 101, AWC, RC and Profile contain fructose, a low glycemic sweetener acceptable for diabetics. Diabetic should continue their regular their regular blood glucose monitoring and consult with their doctor. For those following a carbohydrate restricted diet, a serving of Pro-Stat� 101, AWC, RC or Profile� has fewer grams of carbohydrates than a serving of juice.
How is Pro-Stat� administered?
a. Orally; Pro-Stat may be served alone without additional mixing.
b. Orally; mixed with other commercial nutritional supplements and shakes.
c. Orally; mixed into soft foods or beverages.
d. Through a feeding tube
Pro-Stat mixes easily without clumping or decreasing the food's palatability. Suggested foods are: Canned Pineapple & Pears, Applesauce, Farina, Vanilla/Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal and Apple/Cinnamon Instant Oatmeal.
Suggested beverages are: juice, soda, coffee and tea.
Do not refrigerate, cook, or reheat foods/beverages mixed with Pro-Stat.
Which Pro-Stat� is best for advanced wounds?
Pro-Stat AWC (Advanced Wound Care) is formulated for advanced wounds (Stage III and IV.) It provides 17 grams/protein and 108 K/cal per 30ml, with 3.3 grams L-Arginine, 10mg elemental Zinc and 175 mg Vitamin C. Recommended dosage is three times daily for 4-6 weeks, or the duration of the facility�s Zinc protocol. If the wound has not healed, transition to Pro-Stat 64 or 101 three times daily until healed. A maintenance dose of Pro-Stat 64 or 101 once daily may reduce the risk of pressure ulcer recurrence (which can be as high as 80% for previous wound sites).
Which Pro-Stat� is best for ESRD/CHD patients?
Pro-Stat� RC (Renal Care) is a protein/vitamin supplement specifically formulated for the ESRD/CHD patient. A 30ml dose contains 15grams of complete protein and 60 K/cal plus Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Cobalamin, Folic Acid, Biotin, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc and FOS ( for prebiotic intestinal health). Pro-Stat RC provides for the increased protein and vitamin needs of the dialysis patient without the added fluid required to reconstitute powdered protein supplements. It is sugar and carbohydrate free.

Good stuff!
April 23, 2014
Not only did Pro-Stat AWC help heal a pressure sore more quickly, it was a pleasant experience. I'd expected this stuff to taste funny and bought juices to mix it in. Turns out that mixing the dose in water still made a pleasant tasting remedy.

Kenneth MacMillan died on 29 October 1992, just six weeks before the opening night of the National Theatre's revival of Carousel. This was his first foray into a West End musical since the ill-fated Paul Slickey in 1959. Both the production and its choreography were a triumph, sweeping the decks at the following year's Olivier Awards and later at the Tonys in New York - in part, because of Carousel, MacMillan came to be recognised well beyond the world of dance as an outstanding man of the theatre and his passing widely mourned. He had set most of the choreography; his assistant Jane Elliott along with two members of the cast, Simon Rice and Michael Keegan Dolan, completed what remained to be done.
For the director Nicholas Hytner, Carousel, was "one of the great theatrical works, all about sex and violence and the lure of rough trade". Scarcely surprising then that he had turned to MacMillan to create the dances for the production. In a Guardian interview Hytner had already praised him as "the most dangerously erotic choreographer of our age."
Although the choreography (there were five danced scenes) drew on the schematics of Agnes de Mille's 1945 original, the idiom is distinctly MacMillan's. Carousel's lead role, the fairground barker Billy Bigelow, a petty crook, is a classic MacMillan antihero. A quiet, reserved New England girl becomes physically obsessed with him. Neither can express their affection properly; he beats her, then attempts murder which goes wrong so he kills himself. He returns to earth in spirit form to find his daughter about to fall in love with a character just like him.
Unusually, the production begins not with a carousel centre stage, but in a nineteenth century New England mill, the heroine (Louise, Billy's daughter) working absentmindly at her loom. A clock ticks the minutes away to six o'clock – when the workers, with upflung arms and soaring jetés swirl through the factory gates and away to a fairground, where roustabouts are building a carousel. In the seven opening minutes MacMillan's choreography smoothed the complex transition from factory to fairground and its complex entries and exits with, according to the production's designer Robert Crowley, "the precision of a NATO manoeuvre". Theatrically the effect was electrifying; for Frank Rich, The New York Times' then theatre critic, this was a "bittersweet cinematic panorama of oppression and release".
In London and in New York, newspaper reviews of the production were mostly by theatre critics. Michael Billington of The Guardian (by then an enthusiastic MacMillan advocate) applauded the exhilaration of the choreography "with June is Bustin' Out All Over turning into an ecstatic New England pastoral and Blow High, Blow Low into a virile expression of oilskinned masculine frustration".
In the National Theatre production in London (the first Carousel on the West End stage since 1950), many of MacMillan's dancers were ballet-trained. Bonnie Moore (Louise) came from the Royal Ballet and, previously, American Ballet Theater, while Stanislav Tchassov (The Carnival Boy) had danced with the Bolshoi. Simon Rice had come from the Royal Ballet and during rehearsal MacMillan had recognised the young Michael Keegan Dolan as a precocious talent in the making (a few days before his death, he said to Keegan Dolan "when are you going to stop pretending that you're not as talented as you are?")
At the 1993 Oliviers, Carousel collected many of the principal awards; MacMillan was posthumously honoured with a special lifetime achievement award, accepted by his widow Lady MacMillan. At the same ceremony, The Judas Tree was judged the best new dance production. In New York Carousel went on to win five Tony theatre awards in 1984 with Kenneth MacMillan being named best choreographer.
It was only when the production moved to Broadway (where it was staged by the Lincoln Center Theater Company) in 1994 that the choreography was given a detailed newspaper review by a dance critic, Anna Kisselgoff of The New York Times. No other choreographer, she suggested, would have had MacMillan's ready instinct for the dark side of 1940s sentimentality. She continued; "Deservedly, the choreographer's fantasy ballet in Act II brings down the house. Like a Kabuki dance that sums up a play at the end, MacMillan's version distils the sexuality.... his touch is evident from the moment the tomboy Louise joins a group of boys in a stylized baseball game; a series of lifts and slides, as well as stolen kisses, point toward something more than adolescent horseplay. A typical MacMillan rape scene is in the offing. But Louise is saved by the entrance of a respectable family, trotting across the stage. Louise's true sexual awakening comes as she is being seduced by the fantasy counterpart of her father -- the Fairground Boy. MacMillan's forte was always the pas de deux, and the erotic and the tender mix as easily here as in his duets in ballets like Manon and Mayerling.
Kisselgoff concluded: "He did not rely on body language, de Mille-style, but on the formal value of ballet steps. The Fairground Boy woos Louise with double air-turns. MacMillan sough to make classical technique expressive in itself. In Carousel, he succeeded again".
When four months after his death, there was a memorial service for Kenneth MacMillan, Richard Roger's Carousel Waltz echoed through Westminster Abbey as the entrance procession made its way to the choir. Among those paying tribute was Carousel's director Nicholas Hytner, who recalled how their collaboration came about. "Desperate to make an impression, I talked on and on, until finally I blurted out, 'The point about this musical is that it's about sex and violence.' Kenneth slowly raised an eyebrow and drawled, 'Well, that's what I do'".
With Carousel, Kenneth MacMillan's work became more widely known to audiences, who would never have gone to Covent Garden to see a ballet. Its opening night in the Lyttleton Theatre was an intensely emotional occasion with MacMillan's family and many of his closest friends in the audience. MacMillan left them a final coup de theatre; as Frank Rich of The New York Times recorded, "in the Act II pas de deux, in which Billy's unhappy teen-age daughter searches for her dead father's love by taking up with a fairground boy (Stanislav Tchassov), MacMillan joins the hero in seeming to speak to a spellbound audience from beyond the grave."

If i have this
DrawInstanced( 1, 80000,0,1 );
it should draw 79999 intances and when drawing the first intace, in the vertex shader, the SV_InstanceID variable starts with 1 intead of 0.
But it doesnt matters what number I put in the 4th parameter, it does the same thing as DrawInstanced( 1, 80000,0,0 );... it can even be bigger that 80000 and there is no difference.
I just want to know if what i think the 4th parameter does is correct.

Got the message in the mail, awaiting my return from duck hunting. Our Medicare Advantage plan we've been under for 5 years is no longer being made available in our state, or at least that's what we were told when visiting on the phone with the UnitedHealthcare representative this morning. So now we are being told we need to enter a different program and buy a Medigap policy.
We were told Obamacare would cause many healthcare suppliers to eliminate their Advantage programs so many of us seniors were on. Of course AARP has been a big proponent of eliminating the Advantage programs in favor of the Medigap policies, because it pays them a huge percentage every month. AARP has been exposed by Jim DeMint's special report that all should be aware of...especially if you are a member of AARP. Read about this now:
If any of you have been also 'terminated' by the upcoming possibility of Obamacare, I'd appreciate what program you are contemplating for your coverage.

Binghamton University receives funding for solar power research center
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University officials today joined U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer and U.S. Representative Maurice D. Hinchey to announce $4 million in funding for the University's Center for Autonomous Solar Power (CASP). The latest addition to the University's existing New York State Center of Excellence in Small Scale Systems Integration and Packaging (S3IP), CASP will focus on tapping into the sun's immense supply of renewable energy and make it easily accessible as a flexible, large-area and low-cost, power source.
"We are very grateful to Senator Schumer and Congressman Hinchey for their support in securing this funding and for their continuing support of the University," said Binghamton University President Lois B. DeFleur. "This is an exciting investment in the University and yet another step in the advancement of the Center of Excellence and its research. It is vital that we look at long-term future energy generation from solar power and Binghamton University is the right place to do just that. Drawing from our strengths in small scale systems integration and in flexible electronics, this University is committed to finding renewable and alternative energy sources, not only for this generation but also for those to come."
The goal of CASP is to address the scientific challenges of reducing the cost of solar power and enhancing energy efficiency, which will be crucial in bridging the technology and commercialization gap. Functioning as a multidisciplinary center, CASP will draw expertise from engineering, computer science, chemistry and physics to focus on areas such as solar conversion efficiency, storage capabilities, solar module stability and power system cost reduction.
CASP will also work with industry to develop new technologies for defense, energy, aerospace, consumer, and industrial markets by specifically focusing on solar power sources integrated with new product designs. Potential applications include transportation communication systems, power generation for buildings, and devices that will charge cell phone and laptops without the use of batteries.
"We all feel the pinch of rising energy costs and as a society, need to explore alternatives," said Seshu Desu, dean of the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science, and CASP Director. "At the Watson School, our faculty and students are working on addressing the greatest challenges of our technology-intensive society and harnessing low cost alternative energy sources is at the forefront of our priorities."
Building on the expertise of the S3IP, which incorporates the Center for Advanced Microelectronics Manufacturing (CAMM), and the Integrated Electronics Engineering Center (IEEC), Desu plans to develop thin film large area low cost solar modules. Mimicking nature's own energy-conversion processes, these ultra thin technologies will allow for the design of layered devices that capture all frequencies of the solar spectrum. Using a sustainable model that demands that the individual device will generate much more energy in one year than it takes to manufacture, CASP researchers will be able to develop new and cost effective applications that create tremendous economic development and commercialization opportunities for Greater Binghamton and New York State.

My scores don't really match up with my over all rating for one basic reson. Naruto Shippuden is really in a class of it's own. The fillers that this and the orginial Naruto contain is at a very high amount but the actual meat is just amazing. This and the orgnial are two different animes that just shouldn't be confused. Both are very good in their own rught but, yeah. Sakura has always grinded my gears. Since the very beginning. I couldn't really wrap my brain around how much she annoyed me. But she got better. Maybe only a little, but at least I can tolerate her now. Thats always good. And everyone is... See full review
AHAHAHA. Just thinking about this show makes me laugh. There are some parts you want to cry but 99.9% of the time you will be laughing your head off. I find that this show in particular out of the other stereotypical one's in it;s genre really breaks the mold. And the amount of 4th wall breaking they down is astounding. It's like they just bulldoze right over it and it really just works :)See full review
Oh Fairy Tail... where does one begin. Wellllll, let's see. I can start with that the fact of the characters just make the anime. I mean the amount of apparent romance in the begin was pretty abismal... but as it progressed you could just see the pairs forming in your head. The story is pretty good too. So far there's nothing too confusing in it. It's one of those animes that you never want to end. And when it does you dont want there to be a spin off cause you love the orginial characters tooo much.See full review
I love bleach. As far as I'm concerned it's one of the most amazing animes exsisting today. I love everything about it and I've proably watched it in total about 10 times. I only watch dubbed anime and everyone knows that in dubbed the lines are really dumbed down from the orginial japanese but even in english I loved it. I love how Ichigo's special and still a guy. There;s the perfect balance of character and the best part: THERE IS ALMOST IGNORANCE IN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS!!! Thats so rare in today's anime so it's good to hve when you can find it.See full review

Carp Fishing -- "Berry" Fly Reconsidered
Ok, I stand corrected . Carp definitely & deliberately eat "berry" flies. Twelve of them did today! (I doubled my lifetime fly rod carp tally in one day!) Even carp that were swimming and not mudding ate the fly.
I launched my boat in the pond above the dam in Housatonic, MA, where the river is loaded with carp. Most are small but there are plenty of mid-sized and larger fish too. I rowed upstream to where the water is shallow with a rocky bottom and there is a moderate current, and then I got out and fished from a gravel bar. There were a few small carp swimming around, periodically stopping to feed. I started casting the brown woolly bugger (of course) but the fish didn't want that. I tried the beadhead hex nymph but they ignored that too. OK, so I'll try the "berry" fly again, since the guy at the local fly shop told me that's what he uses in that part of the river. I tied on a purple and orange yarn "pom-pom" and started casting at fish. I was frustrated initially because the fly sank so slowly that it would drift past the fish before it reached the bottom. Then one of the fish turned and took a closer look at the fly. Hmmmm. Guess I'll keep trying. A few casts later, a small carp (~2 lbs) turned and inhaled the fly as it drifted past. Wow! It works! I landed 3 other small carp at that spot, along with a few bluegill and a smallmouth bass. I'm not sure what the fish thought they were eating since there were no berries in the water as far as I could tell.
I decided to head back downstream to the spot where I'd seen some big carp sunbathing a week or so ago. As I drifted downstream I went over some deeper water and saw several carp of various sizes swimming around at all depths. I made a short cast and let the fly drift with the boat. The fly was about midway in the water column and one of the carp sucked it in but I missed the hookset. Wow, they really like it! A couple more drifts, more hits and misses and then I hooked and landed one. OK, lets try something else. I casted towards shore even though I didn't see any carp in the area. Sure enough, a couple of carp swam by and one of the ate the fly as it drifted along. This one was a little bigger, perhaps 7 lbs.
OK, time to find the big ones. I headed further downstream and came across some flats where there were hundreds of small and medium sized carp. Some were just swimming, some were mudding and some were splashing around. Stealth wasn't an issue because even when I spooked a bunch of them there were soon others swimming nearby. I got a few more by sight casting and watching the fish hit, but I also got some by casting at wakes and just watching for the end of the fly line to move. I even got one "by accident" while I was untangling my line! I tried a couple of other colors (purple/white and solid orange) and they ate those too. I also tried an olive woolly bugger and caught one on that as well. I never did find the big ones, but did get a few in the 5 - 8 lb range.
I don't know why they hit so well this time. Just hungry? Competition among all the fish? Lack of fishing pressure? All of the above? Whatever the reason, it sure was fun!

That's great news, Quentin. Of course now you know we need that fly in the archive! When you get a chance, please share.
You're living up to the title of "Carp Stalker"!
Congrats Quentin, sounds like you really had a breakout day.
What size berry are you using for these fish? I would think the wool would be pretty hard to sink, are you weighting the hook at all?
I went out here today at lunch and the water was very murky for some reason. visibility was awful, but I still managed to sight a couple of fish and get one to eat. Unfortunately I missed the hookset, I felt him there for a second before the fly came slingshotting back at me.
I'll put the fly in the archives, although it really doesn't look like much!
The flies are from 1/4" to 1/2" in diameter. Some are weighted with a short piece of lead lashed to the hook. One had a larger, heavy duty hook. Some aren't weighted at all. The yarn I'm using is Needloft Plastic Canvas Yarn. (Ames Dept. Store. 39 cents for a 10 yard skein. Probably even cheaper now because they're going out of business.) Let's see: I use 3 - 4" per fly, so one skein will make over 100 flies!
The flies all sink quite slowly and sometimes even float right after casting if I make a couple false casts first. A quick tug will pull the fly under and the fluoro leader helps it sink. The heavier ones will pull the end of the fly line under and sink to the bottom if there's not much current or wind, but the light ones drift above the bottom if the water is more than a couple feet deep.
BTW, I went back today to look for the big boys but I still didn't find them. The wind didn't allow for much "looking" but I did manage to get a bunch from 2 - 6 lbs. A few were caught blind casting on the flats where I knew there were fish. Most were caught by "semi" blind casting, where I would cast towards fish or moving shadows, although I couldn't actually see them hit the fly. The rest were sight fished. It still amazes me that they will actually turn and/or change depth to eat or inspect the fly. I'll have to try these flies in some other places where the carp are bigger but not as plentiful. Maybe the little ones are stupid, or perhaps they just have different feeding habits.

Michael Powell to Resign as Chairman of FCC
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Corporate News
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell has turned in his resignation after a four year stint in the position. What I liked about Powell was that he wasn't all for strict telecommunications regulation. However, it was a pain in the past year seeing products like TiVo, the Sony Clie, and a myriad of cell phones have to go through hell to get things approved for use in the United States. Maybe the next person to take the seat will be a bit more lenient. Powell, who is a huge advocate of Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), will work his final day as FCC Chairman on March 10, 2005.

Intel Sonoma Chipset Upgrades Centrino
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: PC / Laptop
Today Intel officially released the Sonoma chipset, which is the next generation of its Centrino mobile platform. Now, don't be confused if you don't see Sonoma stickers on the 150 new laptops based on the technology that are set to be released this year (of which 80 launched today). Sonoma is the codename for the updated product, but it will still ship under the Centrino brand. Looking at the upgrade, it appears to be a winner. Sonoma includes a 533MHz front-side bus, the new Alviso chipset (which brings dual-channel DDR support, PCI Express, and 7.1 Dolby surround sound), as well as the Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG technology which provides built-in 802.11a/b/g support. The new chipset is up for some competition from AMD's Turion 64 Mobile Processor.
OLED Seem to Be Wave Of Future
Posted by Categories: Misc. Tech
OLED screens seem to be popping up everywhere. Televisions, cell phones, and even electric shavers. But now they are in your car? This new technology, which stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode, puts off a luminescence when a voltage is applied while also displaying an image similar to an LCD display. This translates to less power consumption, which means longer battery life in portable devices. These OLEDs also last longer than typical LCDs, making them more practical. Currently, they are very expensive to make, but as they are included in more and more products, researchers will gain more experience with them and the price will come down. The next place for these special diodes to appear is the dashboard of your car. Used to light up the instrument panel, these devices are already appearing in Aston Martins, Jeeps, and the Corvette.

Super Bowl 2005 to Use "Turf Cams"
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Cameras
As if we didn't already have enough views of grid iron brutality, Fox Sports' coverage of this year's Super Bowl (Feb. 6) may include pictures from miniature cameras embedded in the actual field turf. Fox's executive vice president Bill Brown recently announced that they will install 12 miniature cameras, mounted on angled tubes the size of eraser-heads throughout the field. This way viewers will be able to see what it's really like at the ground level, especially where the cameras line up with the line of scrimmage. They're hoping to catch maybe 5 or 6 plays where this happens. It turns out that the cameras were already used in last summer's Major League Baseball All-Star Game and during the playoffs and World Series, without any interference.

Arranged time for an interview a WWII veteran (and it took quite a bit of work) for the 416th Bomb Group archives. The gentleman is a former member of the 416th (he was a ventral gunner in an A-20 Havoc light bomber) and was a POW.
I'm looking forward to meeting this hero and his family this Saturday!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Spent more time on the freeways than all this week combined (rain meant that surface streets were safer from nutso drivers and Mother Nature), going to an out-of-town meeting. Used my Red Robin coupons as I met up with a friend who was at the Nat'l Championship game; we traded Rose Bowl victory stories. Enjoyed a day without rain for a change.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
My Saturday sucked. I had duty and had to spend the day on the ship. Sunday, however, more than made up for it. I went to the Yasukuni Jinja (jinja=shrine and it's pronounced just like ninja...but with a J!) for the Japanese war dead. Pretty surreal place. It was weird walking through the gallery and getting to the Pearl Harbor part and then the Hiroshima part. There was almost a sense of "whoops. My bad" on each respective side. They also had a gallery for the kamikaze and it was lined with literally thousands of pictures of those that volunteered. I've been wanting to go for some time now but I finally found a Japanese tour guide (i.e. a Japanese girl. And yes it's THAT one Mabs) that can think for herself and likes history.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
Is she a kunoichi? They're awesome, always wailing on guitars and killing for no reason.
That's my jacket!
Spent 12 hours working Saturday in preparation for a possible deployment to Haiti. Luckily I only spent 9 hours today, and don't have to be in to work until 09:00 hrs tomorrow.
May the force be with you.
Part of the time, I wished I could go to Haiti in your place, SK. It's a good cause.
Of course I wouldn't know what I was doing there with out preparation and training, but I can learn fast and anybody could be of help.
If you were deployed there, you could be very proud of that sort of service.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I woke up 'early' (for a non working Saturday) and did a local 15k race. With the windchill it was about 4. I ran the first mile much faster then I planned and since I felt good I kept the pedal down and kept hammering. I didn't stick around to see how I did so I'm waiting to check out the online results. I'm guessing around 20th overall and top 5 in my age group.
Once the downpour of rain stopped (temporarily), I...
- watched the recorded CW cartoon
- brought in recyclables (earned $6.72)
- got some gift cards for out-of-state relatives
- found the last Droid Part I needed for YVH-1 (but alas, it was another Plo K.)
- graded and recorded some student work
- put away washed clothes (from a couple days ago)
- got dinner from a local restaurant (fish meal and veggie beef soup)
- cleaned up some files/pics on the computer
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Study Finds Most Would Become Supervillians If Given Powers 419
It probably comes as no surprise, but researchers have found that most of us would gladly put on a mask and fight do-gooders if given super powers. From the article: "But power also acts like strong cologne that affects both the wearer and those within smelling distance, Galinsky noted. The person gains an enhanced sense of their importance, and other people may regard them with greater respect as well as extend leniency toward their actions. That combination makes for an easy slide into corruption."

India may outpace China by 2048Comments Email Print
LONDON (Sept. 17, 8:35 a.m. ET) — India is likely to overtake China to become the world's largest economy by 2048, according to a leading academic.
In the first of a series of lectures delivered in London last week Professor Douglas McWilliams, of Gresham College, said that China's economy was already slowing and the country's growth would decline to around 4 percent per year during the 2020s.
And while China would overtake the US as the world's largest economy "by around 2023" forecasts from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) suggested that India's economy will outpace China's in less than four decades.
However McWilliams warned there was "obviously a wide margin of error" in such forecasts.
China's economy is expected to grow by 7.4 percent this year, a figure regarded in some quarters as a 'hard-landing' after the country's phenomenal performance in recent years.
In his lecture McWilliams said that the scale of the competitive challenge from Asia industrialization for Western economies was particularly great "because the pace of change in the emerging economies has been so rapid that attitudes have not had time to adjust to prosperity."
"In the east they do not take prosperity for granted and continue to work hard, support businessmen and keep taxes down. The average Singaporean works 2,307 hours a year; the average Hong Konger works 2,287 hours.
"We in Britain work 1,625 hours. It's as if the average Singaporean worked over four months more a year in effect than we do," he said.
Highlighting a more relaxed tax regime in Asian economies, McWilliams said if western regimes did not adjust their policies to match those of the competitive economies in the east there was a risk that the rest of Europe, including countries who were outside the euro, like the United Kingdom, "could slide in the same way that Greece now has into first stagnation and then economic collapse."

Because of the deluge of HP product that is starting to hit the shelves, I can assume that some of you will succumb to the inevitable and build up a resistance to Potter-mania and become anti-harry potter amidst the backlash this kind of product overload invariably produces. it happened with Episode 1 and it will happen with Harry potter (as well as Lord of The Rings). Unfortunately, many of you will reach this negative sentiment without ever having read the source material. I, too, scoffed at the idea of reading this "children's book" three years ago. My little sister (who was 12 at the time) asked me if I wanted to read it. I politely gave a non comittal "maybe" and the matter was dropped. A few months later, the emminent release of the fourth book piqued my curiosity and I borrowed my sister's copy. To my suprise I couldn't put it down and finished it in 2 days. I quickly borrowed the next two books and finished them just as quickly. When the 4th book was released that summer, I bought 2 copies, one for my sister and one for me.
Now that the film is coming out and Potter-mania is in full swing, I want to know if there are any other fans out there. or anybody who has read the books. If you read them and didn't like them, then I suppose your disdain is justified, but I urge anybody who hasn't read the books and is getting sick of the overwhelming media attention and might be inclined to skip out on all the hooplah to give the books a read. You won't be dissappointed.
After you read them we can discuss the pros and cons of toys and other overwhelming desire to milk a concept dry as fast as possible.
So...who's read them? Who's a fan? Who is already getting sick of Harry Potter without having read a page of the books? I know I would if I hadn't read the books first...Speak up!! How do you feel about Potter-mania?
