Crawford County declares state of emergency due to flooding, mudslides
Nine homes, four businesses evacuated Sunday
CRAWFORD COUNTY, Wis. - Crawford County has declared a state of emergency.
Flooding and mudslides have kept road crews busy since Saturday night's severe storms.
"It was amazing, the power that water has is really amazing," said Crawford County Sheriff Dale McCullick.
Gays Mills and Steuben have been hit the worst. Heavy storms caused the Kickapoo River to swell well over its banks.
Nine homes and four businesses in Crawford County had to be evacuated.
But an overflowing river isn't the only problem.20686246
"There were a lot of mudslides across the roads. Some of the roads were being undermined. People were trapped, couldn't get out of their homes because of the water that had surrounded their homes, and mud slides that had surrounded their homes," said McCullick.
The mud slides shut down State Highway 35 from Prairie du Chien to De Soto.
"We had one of the roads closed off and it was like another river running down through there. I've been around here for 23 years and I've never seen that much water coming in. It was just coming off the hills. It wasn't from the river. It was runoff that was coming off the hills," said McCullick.
That runoff is causing problems for Prairie du Chien as well.
"We had mud on probably, I'd say, a six-block radius of the storm water ditch here," said Prairie du Chien Mayor Dave Hemmer.
Hemmer said runoff coming down from Highway 27 caused the city's storm water ditch to overflow into the streets.
"The water was all flowing down this ditch and it got so much coming down off the hill off 27 into our storm water ditch that it filled it up and... the inlet that goes down to the underground pipe there, it's just inundated," said Hemmer.
As more storms approach in the days ahead, all emergency crews can do is clear away the water, mud and brush -- and wait for the next round to hit.
Crawford County residents who want to report or ask for assistance can call Emergency Management at 608-326-0266.

By David Helms/Pontotoc Progress
PONTOTOC – In the 1989 movie "Field of Dreams," actor Kevin Costner plows up his corn field and builds a baseball field after hearing a voice that tells him "if you build it, he will come."
Businesses and residents are hoping to write a similar script for downtown Pontotoc, "if you revitalize it, they will come back."
One of those who has heard the call to invest in downtown Pontotoc is lifelong resident Shane Crausby, a commercial and industrial real estate adviser.
"For years everybody's been talking about needing things to come into downtown Pontotoc, but talk's all you heard, no one was doing anything," said Crausby.
So two years ago, Crausby finished renovating the old Texaco gas station on the corner of Main and North Liberty streets into a stylish one-bedroom townhouse, which is home to him and his wife, Kim.
Crausby said he was hoping the townhouse project would spur more activity downtown.
"By seeing you can turn an old gas station into a nice townhouse, I was hoping people would take a look at some of these other old buildings and fix them up, too," said Crausby.
Crausby continues to put "his money where his mouth is," having purchased three downtown buildings in the past two years.
"I feel like downtown Pontotoc is a worthwhile investment," he said. "With Toyota, the Highway 6 and Highway 9 four-lanes, the future four-laning of Highway 15, down the road our community is going to grow."
Crausby said it's important that downtown Pontotoc always remain the heart of the community.
"The better and more thriving our downtown is, the more businesses and industry will be attracted to us because they see the people here care about the heart of their community," he said.
Another resident who's banking on the rejuvenation of downtown is Nancy Maxey, who moved here 19 years ago.
In February, Maxey opened Take A Load Off (T.A.L.O.), a combination lunch cafe and catering business located on Lafayette Street.
Maxey's new business is located right across the street from the site of the new Off the Square Market, which will soon be under construction.
The Off the Square Market will serve as a covered venue for a farmer's market and community activities and fundraising events.
"I think the new market will bring lots of folks downtown and that's why I opened my business right here," said Maxey. "In the history of farmer's markets, all the businesses around them have thrived."
Main Street downtown also is home to another new restaurant, The Kitchen Table, which was opened in February by Bo Van Nostrand and his wife, Jodie.
It was the community, not a business opportunity, that first attracted the Nostrand family to Pontotoc.
"We actually moved to Pontotoc from Tupelo because of the schools over here," said Nostrand, who has worked in the restaurant business for more than 28 years. "Jodie and I had always wanted to open our own restaurant and this was a good fit."
The logo of The Kitchen Table restaurant reads "Where Family Comes Together."
"The idea behind the restaurant was for us to invite Pontotoc to our kitchen table and it seems like it's been just the reverse," Nostrand said. "Pontotoc has opened its arms to us and it's been very good."
Pontotoc County Chamber/Main Street Director Ellen Russell said residents are proud of the city's tagline, "Where Family comes First and we Love every second."
"We want Pontotoc to be a place where everyone would love to raise a family," Russell said. "Revitalized downtowns are a symbol of community caring and a high quality of life, factors that help influence business and families to locate here."
The city of Pontotoc is the county seat of Pontotoc County, and both the Pontotoc County Courthouse and Pontotoc City Hall are located on Main Street. The historic Pontotoc Court Square is centered in the middle of downtown Pontotoc, as well as the Town Square Post Office and Museum.
"The court square is a special green area that's a gathering spot for flea markets, cookouts, lunch, or just sitting around enjoying the sunshine," Russell said.
The Pontotoc Court Square also hosts the annual Customer Appreciation Day, Rebel-Bulldog Cook Off, Relay for Life and Bodock Festival.

Chinook Flies
In my area the July/ August fish will take a small egg pattern drifted through deep clear pools. The clearer the water the smaller the pattern, three sixteenths of an inch up to three eights inch light pink or peach with a small red spot. Late September through to early November simple white Marabou fly one inch to 2 inhces in length. Early summer fish can weigh up to 35 pounds but it is not a large run, the later Fall run is many times more plentiful with an average size of 20 to 25 pounds with a good number of fish into the 40' and 50's.
Getting the fish to take the fly is not the biggest problem it is getting the fly right in front of the fish in deep fast running water.
Thanks,, I will whip up some of the comets. I have the bunnies in every color. Odly enough the wolly guggers with a maribou collar seem to be the best. I put some green and blue flashabou in the tail. I will try a blue and black combo tomorrow. Gary at the M.H. seems to like blue and black.
The ones I have caught also took on the drift just prior to the swing. all of a sudden they were just there.
If you get a chance come on down for a day.
The few spring chinook I've caught were hooked on chartreuse comets (chartreuse calf tail, lime green braided mylar body, and chartreuse hackle, medium bead chain eyes), hot pink comet (hot pink calf tail, pink or silver braided mylar body, hot pink hackle, medium bead chain eyes), hot orange comet (hot orange calf tail, solver braided mylar body, hot orange hackle, medium bead chain) - I tie these on #4 and #6 stainless saltwater hooks.
My favorite for chinook, silvers, and chum a fuschia bunny tied on a heavy weight AJ spey hook #3 (body [also acts as the tying thread] is fuschia Unit-Stretch, wing/tail is fuschia bunny strip tied down above hook point and again just behind the hook return, then hackle the fly with 2 turns of the bunny strip after it is tied down behind the hook return, 3 strands each of hot pink and blue Kystal Flash on each side of fly tied in after bunny hackle is tied in and cut off). Very simply to tie and very effective.
The spring chinook I've caught all just picked up the fly fished almost dead drift on a sink tip in the throat of the hole. The takes were very soft.
Here is a scan of the fuschia bunny.
Thanks Juro
For many years I have had the same experience. Nothing is consistent for them. But now that the Cow is my home I am working on them. I know I know its a tough job but somebodys got to do it.
My grandson that just got back from Iraq will get here this afternoon and he and I will be flogging the water in the morning.
Skilly -
I spent a lot of time trying to solve the springer enigma with flies and came to the conclusion the most important factor was the mood of the fish (given that they are in the pool). I caught them on natural, orange and purple bunny rats (see recipe), estaz bodied wet flies with marabou wings (orange/red theme and purple/black theme), tube flies tied in an extended spade style with a marabou tail (sort of squiddy looking), etc.
Some of them came to a fly that was held solid in boily water (no downstream drift) because the fish kept getting pushed toward the surface in the boils so I hung the fly down. The irregular currents danced it around and I watched a mid-20's chinook come up with a boil and eat my fly, will never forget that sight.
In the end, it was not a very consistent pursuit but the few I caught were spectacular. By fall, I took the approach of stopping before and after work for a few casts at the last pool affected by tide in a river near my home. Some days it would be full of fresh chinook and one would rip my arm out of socket on the second cast, hitting a swung fly like a summer steelhead - other days I could not buy a strike while the roe guys cleaned house.
Nothing consistent about them, except the fact that they were very moody. Fall fish seemed a lot easier to hook then springers. My best springer came from the North Fk Lewis. Those were fun days!
Spring Chinook flies ? Anyone ?
Anyone have a good pattern for Spring Chinook ??
I have been able to get a couple on black wooly buggers, but am looking for a more productive pattern if you have one to share.

Gathering Facebook Identities from Email
Looking at the announcement of the Facebook Graph API from Facebook F8 it seems like it will be a little easier to work with the Facebook system.
In Raindrop we already have some integration with Facebook in order to identify emails coming from the Facebook system and help you filter them out. But there is a lot more that can be done to help keep your email, Facebook, and other contacts in a cohesive form.
So here's a quick code example written in Python to grab Facebook identities from emails sent by Facebook. This could be used to gather Facebook identities and then possibly merge those with twitter and email contacts.
First we need to import a couple things.
import email, json, urllib2
Then we'll need to grab an email message. I used Thunderbird to save a Facebook notification email message as an EML file locally, I called that file 'facebook.eml' as you can see below.
msg = email.message_from_file(open('facebook.eml'))
Now we have a parsed email message
msg object and we want to look for the
X-Facebook-Notify header in the email so we can extract what happened.
fb_notifiy = [tuple(t.strip().split("=")) for t in \ msg.get('X-Facebook-Notify').split(";")]
The object
fb_notify contains tuples of information about the type of notification. Here is an example of an object you might see.
[('event_wall',), ('eid', '14102494623'), ('from', '21602578'), ('mailid', '12bf28cG149a112G63016bG21') ]
fb_notify we'll do a really simple grab of the
from attribute because that is what is going to be publicly available from the Facebook Graph.
from_identity = json.load(urllib2.urlopen("http://graph.facebook.com/%s" % fb_notify[2][1]))
Here's an example
from_identity object:
{u'first_name': u'Bryan', u'last_name': u'Clark', u'id': u'21602578', u'name': u'Bryan Clark' }
from_identity can be used to more clearly identify who Facebook is sending this notification on behalf of and we could try merging this Facebook identity with other identities we already have in our contacts.
I saved all this code into this gist if you want to take a look at it in code only form with syntax highlighting.

Ole Miss fans might be eager to see their football team play again this week, but they can circle April 13 for the annual Grove Bowl game. Game time will be announced later.
Hugh Freeze's football squad is tentatively set to begin spring drills on March 6. Ole Miss expects to lose only three position starters from this year's 7-6 unit but will be without quarterback Bo Wallace during spring workouts as he recovers from surgery on his clavicle.
The Rebels kick off the 2013 regular season on Aug. 31 at Vanderbilt.

It's 5.30 in the morning and barely a soul is stirring as Victoria Smith shuts the door of her Wellington home. She won't return for another 15 hours.
Laden with bags, the Pulse defender makes her way to the ASB Sports Centre for a strength-and-conditioning session.
She is joined at the 6am session by her other teammates who are working or studying - like Silver Fern midcourter Camilla Lees, a doctor, and teacher Claire Kersten - while those in the team who have more flexible schedules will train together four hours later.
By that stage Smith will already be well into her working day.
When the session wraps up, Smith races to shower then changes for work, before making her way through rush-hour traffic to her job as a brand manager at Loyalty New Zealand - the company that runs Fly Buys.
With breakfast, lunch, snacks and a pre-training meal all eaten at work, Smith's food takes up a large chunk of the space in the fridge, much to the amusement of her colleagues.
Her lunch break is often the time for physio or nutrition appointments - on Tuesdays it's yoga.
"I have to be so organised in my netball and work life to make sure I'm not letting things slide," says Smith.
By 4pm she is out the door again, this time to training in Porirua.
There's a team debrief, video analysis and an hour of skills work before the Pulse get in some match play against a local men's team.
With more than 10 years' top-level experience, Smith is a valuable member of the Pulse side. Solid and reliable, she's the type of player who will get the job done in a no-fuss way.
But her opportunities for court time are limited, with Silver Fern defender Katrina Grant and Te Huinga Reo Selby-Rickit considered the Pulse's top defensive pairing. Nevertheless, Smith still prepares as though she will play every minute of every game this season, putting in the same effort and commitment as the stars in the team.
Despite receiving a paltry salary (Smith was unwilling to disclose details of her contract, but it is understood to be no more than $20,000), the 30-year-old said there had never come a time when she had questioned whether playing in the transtasman league was worth it.
"I've never played netball for the money or financial gain," she says. "I like being able to challenge myself physically as well as mentally ... getting out there with the best and trying to improve each week."
During the season, Smith will reduce her hours to 30 a week, but it is still a challenge. When the team is on the road, Smith stays in touch via phone and email, but colleagues know on game days she is off limits.
The Wellington-born defender, who moved to Australia when she was 6, completed a double degree in commerce and business management while she was playing in Australia's old domestic league.
Netballers are good at keeping many different balls in the air.

(CNN) -- Carnival Cruise Lines will fly all passengers on one of its cruises back to Florida after the ship suffered a generator failure while docked in the Caribbean.
The experience on the Carnival Dream became something of a nightmare for some passengers Wednesday when power went off, some toilets stopped working, and no one was allowed to get off the vessel even though the ship was docked at Philipsburg, St. Maarten, in the eastern Caribbean.
Although power had been restored and facilities were functioning again, the ship still couldnt leave port.
Cruise passengers received a letter from the captain, according to a passenger who e-mailed a photo of the correspondence to CNN.
Captain Massimo Marino told passengers they will be booked on flights to Orlando or another destination. Passengers with cars at Port Canaveral will be bused from Orlando to the facility about an hour away.
The letter also offers passengers a three-day refund and a half-price cruise in the future.
The captain said passengers could "enjoy another day in beautiful St. Maarten" or stay onboard for a "full schedule" of activities.
"We sincerely apologize for the disappointment this unexpected change has caused and regret we were unable to provide you with the fun and memorable cruise vacation we had in store for you," he wrote.
In a written statement, Carnival said the ships emergency diesel generator failed. The ships next voyage was canceled, the cruise line said.
Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said Thursday that 4,300 guests were aboard the Dream along with about 1,300 crew members. Carnivals website puts the ships capacity at 3,646 passengers, but thats based on only two people per cabin, and some cabins hold more, Gulliksen explained. There are also three- and four-person cabins aboard.
Kris Anderson, a passenger on the ship and reporter for CNN affiliate WREG, said Thursday that passengers have been told they will be allowed off the ship to enjoy the island while flight arrangements are made.
On Tuesday, Carnival announced it was conducting "a comprehensive review" of all of its 23 ships after a fire last month that crippled one of its ships in the Gulf of Mexico, leaving passengers stranded for days while the vessel was towed back to land. Carnival President and CEO Gerry Cahill said the probe will focus on the prevention, detection and suppression of fires, engine room redundancies, and what additional hotel facilities might be provided and might run off the emergency generators.
His comments, posted on Carnivals website, were made at an annual cruise industry conference in Miami.
After the problems began Wednesday, CNN was contacted by passengers describing the conditions.
Gregg Stark, who is traveling with his wife and two young children, told CNN: "Theres human waste all over the floor in some of the bathrooms and theyre overflowing -- and in the state rooms. The elevators have not been working. Theyve been turning them on and off, on and off."
An announcement over the ships public address system said the crew was trying to fix the problem and was working on the generators, according to Stark. A few hours later, another announcement was made, saying the problem was worse than originally believed.
"We are not allowed off of the boat despite the fact that we have no way to use the restrooms onboard," Jonathan Evans of Reidsville, North Carolina, said in an e-mail early Thursday. "The cruise director is giving passengers very limited information and tons of empty promises. What was supposed to take an hour has turned into 7-plus hours."
But Thursday afternoon, Carnival told CNN that based on conversations with the ships management team, a look at service logs "and extensive physical monitoring of all public areas, including restrooms, throughout the night, we can confirm that only one public restroom was taken offline for cleaning based on toilet overflow and there was a total of one request for cleaning of a guest cabin bathroom.
"Aside from that there have no reports of issues on board with overflowing toilets or sewage. The toilet system had periodic interruptions yesterday evening and was fully restored at approximately 12:30 a.m. this morning."
The Coast Guard was notified by Carnival that the Dream was experiencing generator issues. Carnival has not requested assistance from the Coast Guard, which has no jurisdiction in the ships current location, Coast Guard Petty Officer Jon-Paul Rios told CNN.
U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss said Carnivals original decision to keep passengers onboard was "for accountability purposes. The last thing we want to do is have someone get left behind in St. Maarten by accident."
The Dream, based in Port Canaveral, Florida, was on a seven-day cruise. The ship, which is 1,000 feet long -- about the length of three football fields -- sailed from Port Canaveral on Saturday.
It was scheduled to leave St. Maarten around 5 p.m. ET Wednesday.

After rereading the original post I think I have figured it out.
Chris stated that his dog would not ?Seat on a Duck?.
I feel he meant to say ?upon?.
This brings a whole new light on the subject.
If he will not seat upon a duck, maybe the duck is too big.
If this is the case, you need to purchase a set of duck crimpers.
Crimp around the edge of the duck in a circle until you return
to the starting point. This will down size the duck by about
? inch. If the he still can?t seat upon the duck, a smaller
duck may need to be purchased.
Hope this helps,

|I had a similar experience with Simms. No mice involved. I managed to tear some of those G3's and they sent me a NEW pair...no questions!
Extreme customer service...
Last month I received a replacement pair of Simms G3 waders. I put them on a storage rack in the garage. A few days later on a sunny, seasonably warm day I went steelhead fishing. I took the waders out of the box, but noticed some seed/debris in the box. Looked suspect, but it didn't register. Put the waders on at streamside, waded in and immediately felt a surge of coldwater on my left foot. Looked down and there was a round hole about one-inch in diameterin the lower leg. I realized then that a mouse had decided to takeup residence in my waders. The box the waders were shipped in has a small, round hole for ventilation.
When I returned home, I sent an email to Simms outlining the issue and their recommendation. Within 20 minutes they called me, told me to ship the waders back and they would repair them.
Just got them back, repaired and guaranteed under their warranty. Thank you Simms.
Thank you Simms.

Food safety refers to the conditions and practices that preserve the quality of food to prevent contamination and foodborne illnesses.
Food - hygiene and sanitation
Food can be contaminated in many different ways. Some food products may already contain bacteria or parasites. The germs can be spread during the packaging process if the food products are not handled properly. Failure to cook or store the food properly can cause further contamination.
Properly handling and preparing food greatly reduces the risks of getting foodborne illnesses.
All foods can become contaminated. Higher risk foods include red meats, poultry, eggs, cheese, dairy products, raw sprouts, and raw fish or shellfish.
Poor food handling and inadequate food safety can cause infection (foodborne illness). Symptoms of foodborne illness vary, but usually include stomach problems. Foodborne illness may be severe and life-threatening, especially in young children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems.

doctoral dissertation, tech. report CMU-RI-TR-01-19, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, July, 2001
|This dissertation presents an integrated human shape modeling, detection, and body part localization vision system. It demonstrates that the system can (1) detect pedestrians in various shapes, sizes, postures, partial occlusion, and clothing from a moving vehicle using stereo cameras; (2) locate the joints of a person automatically and accurately without employing any markers around the joints.
The following contributions distinguish this dissertation from previous work:
1. Dressed human modeling and dynamic model assembling: Unlike previous work that employs a fixed human body model or global deformable template to perform human detection, in this dissertation merged body parts are introduced to represent the deformations caused by clothing, segmentation errors, or low image resolution. A dressed human model is dynamically assembled from the model parts in the recognition step; the shapes of the body parts and the size and spatial relationships between them (the contextual information) are represented as invariant under translation, rotation, and scaling. Therefore, the system can detect people in different clothes, positions, sizes, and orientations.
2. Bayesian similarity measure: A probabilistic similarity measure is derived from the human model that combines the local shape and global relationship constraints to guide body part identification and human detection. Thus, the identification of a part does not only depend on its own shape but also the contextual constraints from other parts. In contrast with previous work, the proposed similarity measure enables efficient shape matching and comparison robust to articulation, partial occlusion, and segmentation errors through coarse-to-fine human model assembling.
3. Recursive context reasoning algorithm: Contour-based human detection depends on reliable contour extraction, but contour extraction is an under-constrained problem without the knowledge about the objects to be detected. Unlike previous work that assumes perfect and complete contours are available, this dissertation proposes a recursive context reasoning (RCR) algorithm to solve the above dilemma. A contour updating procedure is introduced to integrate the human model and the identified body parts to predict the shapes and locations of the parts missed by the contour detector; the refined contours are used to reevaluate the Bayesian similarity measure and to determine if a person is present or not. Therefore, contour extraction, body part localization, and human detection are improved iteratively.

Just a thought about the new Hamas leader.
He has gone on record and stated plainly that the U.S. is not going to be a target of Hamas attacks. This is a very astute move.
The patience with Israel around the world is growing very thin. This is not mere anti-Semitism that many Jewish leaders automatically rail against every time the Jews are criticized. There is a growing disgust with the manner in which the Israeli government treats the Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. This disgust is a direct result of our concepts of Western democracy and equal rights. Since the victory of Israel against its neighbors decades ago, the Jewish population has oppressed the Palestinian refugees in a system akin to apartheid in South Africa.
For a while here, since the beginning of the second intifada and significant increase in civilian bombings, the Palestinians were losing a lot of credibility. Of course the Israelis have the right to crack down on terrorists!
Even in the Yassin killing, Israel is fully justified in the eyes of many to have undertaken the operation.
But now the new leader of Hamas has done something very smart. He has focused his war onto a single opponent - Israel. This changes the dynamics of the war from one of Hamas vs. Israel/U.S. to only Hamas vs. Israel. The U.S. is now given the chance to disengage themselves from Israel. It also forces Israel to deal with Hamas as an opponent in a civil war rather than as part of an overarching War on Terrorism.
Bush has already taken the position that a Palestinian homeland is inevitable and desirable, and this is Hamas giving the U.S. the chance to push that position. If the U.S. is able to make Israel realize that they will lose American support unless the Jewish population stops treating the Palestinian refugees as interlopers, then we may see significant progress towards peace in Israel.
OTOH, we may see Israel lash out uninhibitedly against the Palestinians. However, the international backlash, including the possible invasion of Israel and arrest of Israeli leaders for violations of international human rights laws, would most likely put a damper on such a large Jewish offensive.
It doesn't look like the U.S. has any inclination to take the chance to disengage, if the public statements of American diplomats are any indication, though. It's too bad. This could have been a way of protecting the U.S. from increased terrorist attacks coming from opponents of Israel.
Republicans rejoice.
Aside from having my Karma stomped down to Terrible and being completely blocked from posting comments, I'm also being automatically logged out after viewing several pages.
If this is another problem, I'd like to begin the count of issues I've encountered so far.
1) Moderation weightings have been skewed such that a negative moderation affects karma significantly downward while positive moderation barely affects karma upward.
2) The new comment history page is completely fucked.
3) New cookie? New security? WTF?
4) Automatic logging out.
Anything else?
What is the weighting of Moderation to Karma?
It is common knowledge that a +1 Funny is worth 0 karma, but are there other values that are not commonly known?
I currently have Bad karma. However, looking over my recent posts, I have many +5 Insightful/Interesting posts and have a positive moderation balance despite several downmods.
However, my karma has steadily declined. Likewise, my karma barely moves at all from Positive to Good even though I have received a moderation balance of +20 as evidenced by the daily moderation totals.
I was given notice that this Friday will be my last day at this company. The notice actually came at the end of January, so it is no surprise. My company is finally closing the Japanese office. I was given the chance to transfer back to the home office or to another office in nearby Taiwan. I chose to remain here in Japan for the sake of my family.
For years the Japanese office have been a drain on capital never having reached profitability, but also it has been a source of several very big name customers in the consumer electronic space. Unfortunately with the prolonged downturn in the economy, the home office has scrutinized the various divisions within the company and has decided to lop off those unprofitable parts. I don't blame them for the decision and I have been treated more than fairly, though my experience seems to have been out of the norm.
The company tried their best to place me elsewhere in the company because I am an expatriot specifically for them, so they felt that they had an extra responsibility to at the very least to bring me back to the U.S. I simply couldn't accept though. Aside from my suspicion that I would have been laid off after two months or so back in the U.S., I have actually just gotten settled here in Japan. I bought a car and renewed my apartment lease for another two years. I'm just not at a point where I can up and move again.
I mentioned earlier that the layoffs were actually announced at the end of January, but my last day will be this Friday. The Japanese employees, for the most part (there are still a couple people like country manager and office manager still around to help with the closing), had their last day back in January. I have had my employment extended in order to handle visa transfers and to handle other things that are required for living here that were handled by the company previously.
I've been doing that for a couple weeks now and I'm just taking a little break today. I've been running all over the place for my visa. I've been to a couple interviews which I'm still waiting on. And just last Friday I found out that I'm supposed to be working on wrapping up development for one of the customers for whom we had to cancel a project on. It gives me a chance to polish my programming a little more before being hurled into unemployment, so that's a plus. But I would have much rather had this week to finish what I need to finish in terms of things that are important to me, not for some ex-customer.
So I am going to be employment-free next week. I've talked to a few recruiters and have gone to a couple interviews through them. The companies seem cool, and I'm definitely qualified for the positions that I'm seeking (Lead QA engineer, Junior developer, or FAE). I'm not worried about finding a new job. There are plenty of jobs out there for developers, but there aren't as many for QA engineers. There is no premium nor respect for QA in Japan, it is seen as an expense only and it's engineers are no more than trained monkeys, so companies end up hiring part time workers to perform QA for less than 1000 yen an hour typically. It's a little disheartening to say the least. But I'm looking for something a little more involved than button pressing.
I've got 5 and a half years of experience at this latest company. 1 of that was as a developer, just before I moved to Japan 2 years ago to help with the Japanese QA team as a technical lead which they desperately needed. After the other members of the QA team finally left after the PM mismanaged them for the last time, I was left as the sole QA engineer. I named myself QA manager and hired on two interns (at 1000 yen per hour) and trained them to do QA while I handled the customer contacts and project scheduling. I tried my best to give them some grounding in C because they could then become much more useful to my QA team and also to any future engineering job they would get. It's funny, neither of them had any computer experience when they came in, but they left able to write simple tests in C. They were really great, for the most part. Having to fire them in November due to cost cutting was tough, though.
Now I'd like to find a position that I can grow in. QA in Japan was really a dead end because of the inability to move upwards. Becoming the QA manager is like becoming the top monkey, you're still a monkey. That's why I'm looking for stuff in development if possible. I've got development experience, but that was two years ago before I moved to Japan. I'm doing my best at interviews to emphasize that most of what I did in QA was development of test cases so I'm not rusty. That's my biggest challenge in the interviews now.
I did finally receive the results of my Japanese Language Proficiency Test last weekend and I am officially a Level 2 certificate holder. There is only one more level to go and that is Native Speaker status, so I'd like to think I've come a long way, but I know there's still quite a bit to go. I'll need to update my resume...
Heh. If you've know any positions for a Japanese-speaking American who's got several years of experience in Development, QA, and Management, please drop me a line at my email address. I'd really appreciate it.
The FreeBSD bootloader does not seem to talk to my USB keyboard, so I have to sit through 10 seconds of 'devil menu' every time I boot up.
It would be nice if this were configurable, skippable, or if the loader would just talk to my USB keyboard so I could skip the menu manually.
No update on the DHCP issue. The machine still isn't talking to the Internet.
This weekend I downloaded the FreeBSD 5.2
The LAN card is a 3Com card that is detected properly by the FreeBSD installation script. During installation, it asks me whether the card will use IPv6 or DHCP and I choose DHCP. The script then goes off to contact the DHCP server and retrieves what appears to be an appropriate IP address. 192.168.xx.3. The router is 192.168.xx.1, and my other PC (Win2K) is 192.168.xx.2 and works fine. So the
However, when the OS boots up, I am unable to make contact with anything. I can't ping the router, much less anything on the internet.
I went through the installation again and tried to install via FTP rather than from CD. That didn't work either, though the DHCP client seemed to retrieve an appropriate IP address from the router.
Besides a network connection, I seem to have everything installed correctly. My video needs a little tweaking, but I'm not sure how much I can do with that, it's an old system.
What can I do to get DHCP working?
What happened to Search.pl and Comments.pl? They don't seem to be keeping up with the front page at all.

By PATSY R. BRUMFIELD/Daily Journal
TUPELO – Donald "Donnie" Weaver of Okolona will spend the next 25 years in prison for having oral sex with two young boys.
Today, 49-year-old Weaver pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery.
Circuit Judge Thomas Gardner III accepted the recommendation of the District Attorney's Office and sentenced Weaver to two terms of 40 years in custody with 15 years suspended to be served at the same time.
Weaver also must register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
Gardner told him that for offenses like this, his sentence will be served virtually every day without chance of parole.
Weaver, a former truck driver, admitted in the Lee County Justice Center courtroom that he had oral sex with the boys, ages 8 and 9.
The grandmother of one victim spoke in court before Weaver was sentenced.
"I came close to killing you," the woman said angrily. "You are a sick, slimy human being and you deserve everything you get."

text: "I have a few thoughts as to why the people of a country like ours, once the freest and most prosperous, allowed the conditions to deteriorate to the degree that they have. Freedom, private property, and enforceable voluntary contracts, generate wealth. In our early history we were very much aware of this. But in the early part of the twentieth century our politicians promoted the notion that the tax and monetary systems had to change if we were to involve ourselves in excessive domestic and military spending. That is why Congress gave us the Federal Reserve and the income tax. The majority of Americans and many government officials agreed that sacrificing some liberty was necessary to carry out what some claimed to be progressive ideas. "

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 9:33 PM GMT on November 04, 2009
Tropical Storm Ida has arrived, the ninth named storm of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. Visible satellite loops show that Ida continues to steadily organize, with surface spiral banding and upper-level outflow now obvious over the northern portion of the storm. An Air Force hurricane hunter aircraft is in the storm, and found a large area of surface winds in the 45 - 50 mph range, with a smaller area of 60 mph winds, prompting NHC to upgrade the storm.
Figure 1. Afternoon satellite image of Ida.
Ida is currently under low wind shear, 5 - 10 knots, and shear is expected to remain in the low to moderate range in the Western Caribbean for the remainder of the week. Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are 29°C and the Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential is about 40 kJ/cm^2, which is enough energy for a hurricane to form, if the center remains over water long enough. The Western Caribbean is plenty moist, and dry air is not an issue for Ida. Ida is currently too small to be affected by tropical disturbance (Invest 96E) 500 miles to its west, over the Eastern Pacific.
The forecast for Ida
The 1 - 3 day forecast for Ida has come into better focus now that the storm has formed, and models have come into better agreement. The current west to northwesterly motion of Ida should carry it inland over northeastern Nicaragua early Thursday morning. Ida is too small to tap the Pacific as a source of moisture, and it is just the northeastern portions of Nicaragua and Honduras that need to be concerned with heavy rains and mudslides. With Ida expected to spend a full two days over land, rainfall amounts of 10 - 15 inches over northeastern Nicaragua and Honduras will likely make Ida the deadliest storm of the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. There is a medium chance (30 - 50%) that Ida will dissipate while over land. If Ida survives the crossing and emerges into the Western Caribbean on Saturday, low to moderate wind shear and warm waters await it, and strengthening is likely. An extratropical storm is forecast by GFS and ECMWF models to form in the Gulf of Mexico's Bay of Campeche on Saturday, and the counter-clockwise flow of air around this storm may propel Ida northwards into the Gulf of Mexico by Monday. However, both of these models show a high pressure ridge building in and forcing Ida southwards, back into the Caribbean, by the middle of next week. The long term fate of Ida, should it survive the crossing of Nicaragua and Honduras, remains murky.

The Chickasaw Journal will change its obituary policy, starting with the Wednesday, May 27 edition. The change will include a small charge for full obituaries while providing more options for families.
"Obituaries are a very important part of our newspaper, and we want to continue to be able to provide this service," said GM Lisa Voyles. "With the volume of obituaries and the space required to run them in the newspaper continually expanding, we find it necessary to add a small charge for handling and production costs while still providing a no-cost option to families."
The Chickasaw Journal will continue to publish a basic obituary free as a public service, giving the name, age and community of residence of the deceased, date and place of death, funeral arrangements and visitation, and memorial requests.
A full obituary may include biographical information, personal interests and involvements, family survivors, pall bearers and other relevant information for a $15 charge. A photo of the deceased may be run with an obituary for a separate charge of $10. Special obituaries with wording different from standard obituary style will be charged per inch at the newspaper's charity rate.
Funeral homes may e-mail obituaries to email@example.com. Obituaries that are faxed or hand-delivered incur an additional $5 charge. Obituaries are accepted only from funeral homes and charges are billed through the funeral home. No obituaries are accepted over the telephone, but funeral homes may call 662-456-3771 with questions.

Want to set up my 55 for africans.
Since I got my 150 gallon going and moved my fish over to it, I have been running my 55g to keep the cycle going by feeding my pet bacteria a few drops of ammonia every few days. I have upped the pH to 7.6 with baking soda so far (and am trying for 8.2) and dosed with cichlid salt, did a 30% WC to rid 'Trates and my girlfriend has been wanting to keep african cichlids for awhile now. I have no clue about african cichlid compatibility. My friend is going to give me a few adult yellow labids to start with and I would like to know what else I can safely keep with them. We have looked at blue ahli's, convicts (i believe), and bumble bees. I don't dare ask the goobers at the store in town their 2 bits, I'm sure I would be sorry in the end. I think I would like to have around 10-12 fish if that is acceptable. So, here am I, with yet more questions to pontificate over. As always, you guys rock and thank you.When in d0ubt read it until it makes sense, then read it again!

Convicts are Central American cichlids.
55's are tough for Africans. You could keep all male haps and peacocks. Overstock it to spread out aggression. Look into Malawi cichlids and see which ones you like. Or if you want to mess with fry, get a hareem. 1 male, to 2 or 3 females. Again, look into cichlids from Lake Malawi for a hareem too. You may be able to have 2 harems in a 55. But it would depend on the fish.
Or you could look into some of the smaller fish from Lake Tanganyika. You could have a large number of different fish from that lake.
Either way you go, make sure the fish you want are compatible.
ok, will look into these options a bit further, there are 2 stores a few towns over that I would trust enough to consult with about african cichlids. The one here in town are chowder heads. The other guys may have to order the Tanganyikas for me, they always stock Malawis. My ignorance in these cichlids should prove an interesting challenge, lol. Then again, that's why I'm HERE. Thank you.When in d0ubt read it until it makes sense, then read it again!
In my 75 I have yellow labs, red zebras, and auratus cichlids (with 2 leftover rusties that seem pretty tough).
If you are going to be buying from a store and get some from friends, get the store ones first, they will be much smaller and easier to be picked on. You should either go all male or just two species, you could even do a species tank and it would be super pretty.
There are a bunch of cookie cutter stocking lists via google too.
And if you go yellow labs and one other species make sure it is a comparable adult size fish. A lot of the malawi cichlids are 4-5 inches and the bumblebee cichlids gets bigger than that.
And if you went single species you can see/ trade fry without worrying about cross breeds.

African cichlids get confusing. There are so many different ones, from different lakes. I would really suggest trying an all male hap/peacock tank for a 55. You should be able to have 12 to 15 of them. Really overfilter the tank, and keep up on the water changes. Use rocks for decor. I like lace rock. But lots of people use Texas holy rock. Sand works well for their substrate too. You can use substrate made for Africans. They tend to cost more, but may help keep the PH high for you too. I use aragonite sand. You can also use crushed coral. Carib Sea makes a black and white sand mix that looks really nice. Carib Sea actually makes a big variety of substrate for Africans.
Research them a lot. There is a ton of good info out there. Much better than what I can give. I am just getting into Africans myself. So PLEASE don't take anything I say as an absolute.
I am looking for crushed coral, but might just go with sand. I have a bunch of slate to stack and will find some other stones as well.
My friends labs are about 5 inches or so, I will certainly look into all these facts and options a bit more. My girl has her heart set on the bright colors but I really want to make sure it isn't going to be a slugfest in there, so it's time to do some homework to avoid as much aggression as possible. Trying to get headed in the right direction from the rip is the hardest part!When in d0ubt read it until it makes sense, then read it again!
Longshot, if I was you I would do an all male Peacock tank. They stay small enough for a 55gal and have way more color and flash. I keep a really varried mix of africans in a 75gal but 55 limits everything. Check out Sunshine Yellow Mbenga Peacocks, Eureka Reds, heck just type in peacock cichlids in google images and look through. All male and never 2 of the same male species as one will dominate the other and one becomes less colorful.
If pH needs increasing, just get some coral shells and scatter them around in the tank and take care of that naturally. Mbuna's need to be kept to only Mbuna's. All you need is a whole lot of rock work or slate. You should have one male to 3-4 females.
If you want to keep that cycle going, you need full doses daily, not drops every few days. You need to keep a good supply of bacteria living so you can overstock all at once.

Thanks yall! @sandz- the color is where it at!!
@Lady Hobbs- thank you for that, I didnt figure that actual fish made much more than the equivalent to a few drops of straight ammonia, but I will add it as prescribed. My pet bacteria are so cute!!!When in d0ubt read it until it makes sense, then read it again!
Easy ph buffer is using coral and texas holy rock in the tank. Honestly you dont need these super hard PH unless you are going to do wilds. The tank bred fish are raised in med hard water with medium ph's. Its not some wild discus you need to match 100% but the hardness is always good for stability.

Redskins Rams Preview
Posted on 24 Sep 2010 by Mercedes Green.
This Sunday the Redskins travel to St. Louis to take on the 0-2 Rams. The Redskins are trying to turn the tides off a disappointing loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday and are looking for redemption. The Redskins' rushing D is rated #8 so far this season, but their passing D is almost dead last at #31. The only good thing about this stat is that the Texans are #32 (ha). In comparison...


text: What a shame, and how horrible! I am sure we all feel the same way. I just found out that some very close friends of me and my wife lost a nephew in the rampage. A young boy that just went to school to learn and play and will not be coming home tonight. What a horrible thing, for those of you close to the situation, my condolences..... our prayers are with you.

I've got an question about my overall code design. A simple example, where I want to pass a camera varible to my 3d render class.
void Graphics3D::Render(Camera* pCamera) { m_pEffect->SetMatrix("ViewProj",pCamera->ViewProjectionMatrix()); }
void Graphics3D::Render(D3DXMATRIX mViewProjection) { m_pEffect->SetMatrix("ViewProj",&mViewProjection); }
which way would you recommend? This would apply to many places in my code, its basically the
decision: "Should I pass my own classes or just single variables wherever possible?". Thinking about that I might want to pass more than 1 parameter per call. I might add seperate View/Projection-Matrices, Inverse/Transposed, etc.. Any advices?

When my kids were small I loved Mr. Rogers. His show was my son Dann's favorite and today, at nearly 30, Dann works with autistic and special needs children and channels Mr. Rogers. Every day at school he wears his red gym shoes and a cardigan sweater. I don't know if the kids even know who Mr. Rogers is, but they absolutely love Mr. Carter! This quote inspires me to learn something new every day.

Fabulous! How wonderful that your son works with autistic and special needs children - the need is huge and having someone whose heart is really in it makes such a difference! How proud you must be of your son, Laurie! Love the reference to Mr. Rogers - my children loved him too! (as did I)
Another great ATC Laurie! I love all the wonderful bright colors.
Way cool Laurie!
Wonderful card - wonderful sentiment behind both Mr. Rogers and Mr. Carter. Love it!
I love your card. The quote is wonderful as was Mr. Rogers. Love the background you used and how you blended Mr. Rogers photo into it. Such beautiful bright colors.
Oh, I love this Laurie and I so enjoyed your notes. I really like your quote and the photos you used - SOOooo Mr Rogers. I like him too and his calm presence was always so lovely to watch. Great ATC.
I love this! We were Mr. Rogers fans in our house, too, and this is a great quote. I love your photos and colors and the way you've scrapped this.
Love this and we were also fans of Mr. Rogers. Your composition is great.
Wonderful quote, colours & design

I picked up Thundercracker and Skyhammer recently. To me, Skyhammer is hands down the best helicopter TF I own. And like an idiot, I tried following the directions and attempted to pull off the rotor.
I picked up Thundercracker and Skyhammer recently. To me, Skyhammer is hands down the best helicopter TF I own. And like an idiot, I tried following the directions and attempted to pull off the rotor.
I bought Skyhammer, but haven't opened him yet.
I doubt he's in the movie, but maybe I'll want him for my display as a human-helicopter anyway?
I might want to consider removing the Autobot emblems.
Tough situation to be in for a guy who loves Blackout.
Anyway, Kup is still shipping to stores, so some of the later figures like Warpath and Wreck-Gar that you all have been looking for, could still turn up.
I got Cyberverse Powerglid and opened him up. Great figure and cool transformation!
I also got Human Alliance Roadbuster (2 of 'em) from Wal-Mart. I haven't opened one yet, but I'm really excited about this one! He looks great and there's a lot of detail on the NASCAR!
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.
Skyhammer is likely going to be the best figure in the line, he's that good. I am so tired, spammer posting inappropriate material keeping me from sleeping, making me delete, why did I have to check one last time?!? Anyway, Skyhammer is very good. The head is very "hero" though, doubt you can ever get him to look Decepticon, a repaint with a new head will probably come from Hasbro. But as a human helo, well, he's not an American design, I think he's based loosely on the Russian Hind helicopter, not sure where that could fit in.
I picked up Powerglide, very nifty, combined gun sucks but the rest is good. The landing gear is really odd, I had it working fine earlier, just barely keeping the nose down, then I adjusted his arm to see if it was a 3mm rail-system clip (it is) and now his thighs touch the ground instead of the wheels, which DEFINITELY keeps the nose down, but IMO isn't right.
I picked up Megatron today, a surprisingly decent figure, a few things in the figure that aren't in the instructions (the vehicle mode lets the trailer rotate if you keep the wheels from folding in, and the fusion cannon's claw mode can be locked in place by rotating the ladder), but unfortunately, the very confusing instructions back to alt mode ended up causing me to break the tiny Mack Truck bulldog right off the nose. I'm going to try to get WM to replace it, but I foresee forgetting that step again in a few years and off ol' doggy will come. That part of the transformation is downright ugly, getting the grille and bumper and arms to line up or spread apart, which is too bad because everything else on this transform is fun and clever. His coloring does suck though, super bland, and he's pretty small for a Voyager, but I'd recommend him.
I came into this thread to warn you guys about being careful on the Mack hood ornament and rambled on. Just like the old days!
Here's the photos from yesterday's trip to Botcon: http://photos.actionfigs.com/g6139-t...tcon-2011.html
I took notes at the Saturday Hasbro panel, will try to have them up tomorrow since I'm going back today for more convention fun.
Not a lot of reveals this time, and zero really big stuff, nothing Tycho was looking forward too.
Generations is continuing through the year.
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.
Also, I was impressed with Masterpiece Rodimus. Looks better in person than in pictures.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
What exactly makes the new unicron a "masterpiece" edition? Looks like the same on that came out with armada with a new paint scheme.
Does the Masterpiece Hot Rod actually convert to Rodimus Prime? Truck and all?
Nowhere in your incoherent ramblings did you come anywhere close to the answer. Thanks to you, everyone in this room is now stupider having heard you. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul. -Billy Madison-
It also has a new head sculpt to be more movie accurate. Maybe it's not fair to call it Masterpiece, but I found the head sculpt and deco to be the only real complaints I had about the figure.
MP Rodimus does not come with the trailer like the Japanese version, but does come with his Targetmaster (and a matrix too large to fit in his chest, sadly...)
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Yeah, the "American Version" is coloured to look more like the toys, and as Chaddy said, no trailer and comes with a targetmaster "Offshoot", whoever that is. Last I remember, HR's targetmaster pal's name was "Firebolt". Personally, I like the original release better. That's just me though. Pictures: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...ts-too-172359/
The Unicron looks fantastic though, I was unable to get the 2010 Anniversary release of him so I'll be definitely picking this one up.
Is this the Arcee you were talking about? It's the one from the "Prime" cartoon: http://cdn.tfw2005.com/transformers-...1307237664.jpg Or was there another one you meant?
I also saw some pictures of 3rd party versions of Huffer and Powerglide which look near exact to their cartoon versions, as well as iGear's "Not-Ironhide and Ratchet" both of whom look fantastic.
"Offshoot" was used because they don't have the TM for "Firebolt". I was foaming at the mouth for Ironhide and Ratchet. Huffer and Powerglide were cute, but looked a little too much like Stikfas to me. I preferred the Seaspray/Powerglide that Fansproject had on display at the TF Source booth.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
Damned TM's screwin things up again. ;/ Freakin hate that.
Yeah, I saw pictures of those two as well. I do like the Generations/Universe Voyager class Seaspray from last year, but there's just some transformers that will always be "minibots" to me and these guys are it. I did see Windcharger displayed though, and I thought it funny, as it didn't really see a US release. Gives me hope though that maybe we will sooner or later.
Fansproject and iGear are the two 3rd Party companies that really attract my attention. I've yet to buy anything from either of them that wasn't stellar. I only wish that Hasbro would take a clue from them.
iGear's facebook posted a teaser picture up, and from what I can tell they plan to make their own versions of the mini-bots. Pictured fully are their "Not" versions of Seaspray and Huffer, and from left to right I can see silhouettes of Beachcomber, Brawn and either Windcharger or possibly Wheelie, and on the bottom: (Possibly) Pipes, Powerglide and Cosmos.

Here is the link to the article. Anyone have a subsription?
Secondarily, should the Dolphins move, I will never watch another one of their games (or any NFL games), I've been a loyal fan of the MIAMI Dolphins, and them alone.
Even when the stadium is not empty there are a TON of the opposing team fans.
You don't see that anywhere else. Only in miami!!!!!
Miami is at a disadvantage in that if the dolphins suck, I have 300,000,001 more things to do if its a nice day out and 200,000,002 if the weather is bad...all florida teams (outside of UF but we wont get into the Jorts wearing rednecks) have this issue...
In the end winning is the only thing that will bring people back...and not just 1 good season...we've been through 13 years of flat out sucking and havent been to a superbowl since 84...its gonna take a few seasons...
people keep saying the NFL wont let ross leave and I dont know why? the NFL let Houston leave, it let Cleveland leave...if ross decides he's leaving why would the NFL block him especially if it brings a team back to LA...
It would serve Miami right if the dolphins move! The new generation of fans down there are the epitome of the entitlement generation! I think Puerto Rico would be a better destination though!
Ross will never move the team he isnt in this for money. The Dolphins have been a massive money drain for him.
However if attendances and tv figures dont improve and the next owner isnt a fan or a local, the people of Miami have plenty to worry about. Especially if the stadium doesbt tie the team to the city.
