Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
I went to Frank and Sons today and saw the entire Tatooine Wave and I must say they look fabulous, both carded and uncarded. Hasbro is really doing a great job on their new saga line of figures. Of course they were all way over priced (but I found a guy who was selling that sandtrooper for 7 so I snagged that one) but it was really nice just to see what they look like and usually when they have 'em it means they should be showing up very soon down here in So. Cal if not already. Kinda just a heads up that they should be around and they look GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!

I'm looking forward to picking up an R5, Hem Dazon, and yet another Sandtrooper. The POTJ Sandy knocked me for a loop it was so cool. The thought of an even better one makes me

I don't think Crunchy found them today, but Blue did and he was so nice to give them to me. What a nice guy HUH? Then I woke up. No really I did see them and they all look very cool. If there's one figure out of the wave to get it's R5! Damn he's cool.Originally Posted by figrin bran

Some view Summer camp as an event to earn merit badges. While the merit badge program is a part of the Summer camp program, it is not the objective of summer camp.
Summer camp is an opportunity for the Scouts to spend a week with their friends, participate in some adventurous activity, relax, learn and grow….away from home, cell phones, and X box's.
Summer camp is a time for boys to be goofy, to strengthen friendships, to develop a sense of independence.
The Summer camp program does offer merit badges for the Scouts to work on and earn, and while much is made of the opportunities to earn those merit badges, there should be no pressure on the Scout to "take as many as he can" for the sake of earning badges.
I would rather see a Scout sign up and earn one merit badge and have the time of his life at camp than see him work himself into a merit badge frenzy and leave Summer camp with nothing but merit badges. No great memories of the water front, or hanging out by the camp fire, no stories to tell about a hike they took while others toiled away in leather craft or the fish they caught…but it got away.
Summer camp is all about the experience…not the badges. My fondest memories of Scouting are of Summer camp. I remember days at the waterfront canoeing or purposely trying to roll the row boats. A hike that a buddy of mine and I took that found us on top of a peak over looking Camp Freedom and beautiful view it rewarded us with.
Hanging out at the campfire till we could not see straight anymore… and having the Scoutmaster finally tell us to hit the rack. The friends that were forged over Summer camp are what every Scout remembers for a life time.
I am glad that my Scoutmaster let us go to camp and have fun. And now I do that with my Troop. I only "Make them" take one merit badge.. and usually it is an Eagle required one that they may not have… or it is simply one that they may be interested in. The rest of the time I want them to have fun.
If you are not having fun..you are doing it wrong.
Happy Scouting!

DRNS - Naming Schemes for Distributed
While I know that there might be many people who'd disagree with me, I think it is very important in a distributed storage space to have some sort of structured equivalent to DNS. My working title for this is DRNS (Distributed Rights Naming System). This could be non storage protocol specific, so it might work on both MojoNation and FreeNet. Here are some of the ideas I have as requirements:
- It should be able to be plugged in to various storage schemes.
- It should be usable through existing browsers. (You should be able to append the name to an Existing URL for an freenet 2 web gateway for example.)
- Names should be cryptographically unrevokable if wished. This is to avoid many of the disputes seen in the world of domain names right now.
- It should support anonymous ownership. Otherwise why would you be using Freenet in the first place.
- It should be hierarchical of nature, where each level of the hierarchy only controls issuance for the level directly below. Lets say that some one owned the /geovillages/ domain. They can control and set rules for issueing direct subdomains from their domain. But once they domain /geovillages/xxxsites/ domain had been issued by them, they can not control that domain or what goes on in that domain.
- On creation a domain can be set to be expireable. This expiration will be a set time or date and can not be changed once it's been created. When expired a domain can be reissued with a new expiration.
- Because of the hierarchical nature of the system. Given a document with a given name, you can verify that it and each parent domain above it is signed by the above domain.
One way to do this would be to use a hierarchy of PGP keys. Each domain would be described in a simple XML file, that was signed by the domain signer above.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
<drns> <domain> /neu </domain> <owner href="http://neudist.org"> 1B14 4ED3 4CE5 3338 0B91 4640 AB15 3180 761B 4BD4 </owner> </drns>
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use <http://www.pgp.com>
iQA/AwUBOoJJh4BkJoqOarblEQLSJwCgx0MN2IHwplBZ+klV+yfoN3Oh2r8A mwaw wjGb9v7pIQfs9BMh9zxkhvPq =Hl06 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
This is the file that you get if you would get if you searched the underlying protocol for a file with the name "/neu". Any subdomains under "/neu" would consist of files similar to above, but signed by the key specified in the above owner tag.
The freenet of mojonation server would verify when a new document comes in, if it's allowed to be posted using the given name. Clients reading the file would also do a check for validity.
DRNS could be part of a layer of protocols to enable distributed, anonymous, p2p, commerce webs (how many more buzzwords can I put in here;). Higher level application specific protocols, could enable transactions and versioning ontop of this naming system and it's underlying storage protocols.

"I'm gonna lean up against you, and you lean up against me. That way we don't hafta sleep with our heads in the mud"Forrest Gump, 1994
Romney miscalculated the 47% turned into the 52%.
All success belongs to the dog, all failure to the trainer.
The point being that this is the kind of divisive issue that is a real loser for the Republicans. IF a republican candidate for national office wants a chance of being elected he needs to be able to say convincingly that although he is against abortion, he is also against the government getting involved in an issue that should be between a woman, her family, and her own conscience. (and that has to be good enough for the powers that be within the republican party).
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

Then they have committed what the legal system has agreed is murder and they go to jail.
Does anyone really think that if the Republicans compromised their view, agreed with gay marriage, took a stance of pro-choice, and smoking weed, that they would be in the White House now?
I watched the debate. It is what he said for the most part. If he believes something other than what his religion teaches that would make him a Jack mormon. I'm pretty sure he is not a Jack mormon.that's the mormon church position... how about go to Mitt Romney's website if you are going to post "his" position?

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This blog has a theory on the meaning of Super 8, and it's brilliant. A little too brilliant. The blog appears to have been set up solely to promote this theory, and a Twitter account has appeared to promote it. There is no hint of the author, which is strange, because when most people come up with something as inspired as this, they tend to put their name to it. Why would you want to be anonymous? Well, imagine this: you're JJ Abrams and you've taken great care to weave in a lot of clever subtext to your film, only nobody picked up on it and it's got you really frustrated. How do you get it out there? That's just about the only time I could imagine someone not wanting to put their name to it. But hey, just my theory.

5. The first time I ever heard of Watergate was when I was a kid was reading Doonesbury comics (other kids were into Batman and Spider-man; I was immersed in jokes about the Iran-Contra affair). In this particular comic (4 April 1978) TV reporter Roland Hedley is talking to Washington Post writer Rick Redfern. 'What have you people been up to since you overthrew the Government, anyway?' Roland asks. 'Not sure,' Rick says. 'Sports, I think.' It's forty years since Watergate happened, and Bob Woodward & Carl Bernstein have recently written a follow-up piece for the Post.

10. Did you watch the Mad Men season five finale last week? If not, then don't worry, I'll flag spoilery links with an asterisk (*) lest you click on them, but make sure you do get to it soon: it is possibly the finest season of television ever produced. You can tell by the theories and essays that it has inspired. (I personally resisted the urge to write massive essays on its themes and subtext after every episode! Oh, the glorious density!) My favourite is Jim Emerson's brilliant essay on memories and recurrence*. There's also a magnificent essay by Owen Gleiberman on how he thinks the series itself will end* when it finally wraps up at the conclusion of its (purported) seventh season (via Louise Hesteline). (That link, by the way, is totally different from the fake 'last page of the last episode' written by comedian Jason Woliner that I posted about in Ten Things #4.) Oh, and did you know that you can pre-order Sterling Gold by Roger Sterling, the autobiography he wrote during the fourth season? For real. But the link I really want to send you? An article predicting the events of season five, written by Devin Faraci (formerly of CHUD, currently of Badass Digest), back in 2010 at the conclusion of the show's fourth season. It's fascinating in retrospect, not just for how much he got right, but how the things he got wrong are eerily close to what eventually happened. It's an astonishing piece.

Two exciting things this week.
Work on Octave-GTK reaches 0.5 version. My presentation on Octave-FLTK at my university here. http://students.uta.edu/mx/mxa6471/software/octave-fltk.ppt
Octave-GTK-0.5-RC-1 in the works. Octave-GTK has a slightly better code generator, and fewer bugs are introduced [EEKS!].
Major feature enhancements are, ability to use multiple signal handlers for a same widget, and using treeview and treestores.
Libglade is update for the above as well. You can find the pre-release here: http://students.uta.edu/mx/mxa6471/octave-gtk-0.5-rc1.tar.gz

APS Award Address
New Directions in Early Detection and Intervention in Autism
Friday, May 25, 2012,
Recent prospective studies of infants at risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have provided insights into very early development in autism and allowed clinicians to develop new screening tools for identifying infants at risk for ASD. At the same time that early screening tools are being developed, novel approaches to early intervention are being tested with infants at risk for ASD as young as 12 months of age. The hope is that, by intervening very early in life, the course of early brain and behavioral development can be modified and the core symptoms of autism can be significantly reduced, or even prevented in some cases. This presentation will discuss the state of the science and future directions in early detection and intervention, with a focus on the infant-toddler period.
Geraldine Dawson is a recipient of a 2012 Association for Psychological Science (APS) James McKeen Cattell Fellow Award.

Basic Trouble Shooting Tips
Simple Trouble Shooting Tips
Computer problems? Have you tried rebooting?
Monitor blank, power light off? Check the video/power cables connected to your PC and monitor.
Monitor blank, power light on? Try wiggling your mouse or your keyboard. (It may be sleeping)
No power? Try checking your power strip and/or electrical plugs.
Can't print? See if turning your printer off and then on again helps.
Can you login? Check your Caps Lock and Num Lock.
Wireless keyboard/mouse problems? It may be your batteries or power switches are turned off.
Wired keyboard/mouse problems? Unplug then plug them back into their USB/PS2 ports.
Has your PC frozen up? Reboot your PC by holding in the power button for 10 seconds.
What do I clean my equipment with? First turn off the PC/monitor and unplug anything electrical. NEVER use water on any computer or its parts! Spray a cleaning solution meant specifically for computers onto a dry microfiber type cloth. Do NOT, apply pressure on any parts. Gently wipe the monitor, keyboard and etc. Keep food and drinks away from any-and-all of your technological equipment.
Do I need an Antivirus program? Yes, and it is important to keep and have an antivirus program which is up-to-date! If you are using Reading equipment, the IT Dept., 'pushes' antivirus definitions on a regular basis. For 'your personal computer' it is important to install, read and keep this program updated as often as possible.
How do I avoid getting viruses? Most computers get viruses through email and hacked websites. This is why you should not open emails from strangers (even then it can come from a friend who's gotten one) and keep your antivirus program up-to-date. Also try and limit your internet browsing to the top ten search results.
How important is my password? Your password is in essence, the keys to your computer/network kingdom. Try and make it easy to remember but complex enough to make it difficult to crack. Capital letters, numbers as well as symbols in a password can help to make it much more secure. Also NEVER tell anyone what your password is. When in doubt, change your password.

The sad part is he took someone else out with him. I feel no pity for anyone dumb enough to drink and drive.
May the force be with you.
You know, when I start finding out stuff like like that about people I like, I kinda stop liking them so much. I have no patience for people who have substance issues.

I don't remember much about those 70's detective shows, but I remember seeing a spoof of them all. I just looked it up and found that it was called Murder Can Hurt You. Looks like it had quite the All-Star cast as well. I see it is on Youtube. I'll have to check it out.

I've started going through the patch and trying to merge as much as possible, but it'll take a while.

Last night I went to the first 2010 meeting of the Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee meeting. It was also the first Committee meeting I've been to… after meaning to go for ages.
I was impressed by the turnout. The room was full of observers (probably at least 40 people). The observers are people who care enough about cycling in Toronto to devote several hours of a weeknight to the topic.
Reports and Presentations from the meeting are supposed to be posted online, and I'll let you know when they are… but I figured I'd share the few notes I took.
I'll use the agenda from the meeting to organize the notes I took (which are italicized).
1. Cycling in Harbord Village
E-mail (December 22, 2009) from Eleanor Levine, regarding her concerns for safety for cyclists cycling in the Harbord Village area of the City of Toronto.
Eleanor presented her concerns about the lack of cycling infrastructure in her neighbourhood… not only for seniors like her, but all cyclists. She expressed her preference for physically-separate bikelanes over regular bikelanes or sharrows, as it makes it harder for cars to park in them.
2. Presentation from the Ward 20 Cycling Committee
Report (undated) from the Ward 20 Cycling Committee, presenting suggestions for improvements to cycling infrastructure and conditions in Ward 20. Its purpose is to provide feedback to Councillor Vaughan's office and City staff who can work in co-operation with the broader community to implement changes that reflect the needs of cyclists travelling in this section of the city.
Great (and quick!) presentation from Yvonne Bambrick, Dale Duncan and Andrew Keenan (not sure if I heard his name right) of the Ward 20 Cycling Committee. This is a group set up by Councillor Adam Vaughan to inform his office about cycling issues in his Ward in order for him to work with the community on these issues. Lots of great infrastructure ideas such as physically separate bikelanes, bikeboxes, sharrows in intersections, and innovative bike parking.
There was then a bunch of discussion about the cost of various infrastructure improvements asked for in Ward reports such as this one… but Ward reports were noted as important as it allows cycling staff to show city councillors exactly what Torontonians want.
A motion was made for staff to look at the feasibility (and progress, if any) of items in report and to report back to the Committee.
3. Changes to the Official Ministry of Transportation of Ontario Driver's Handbook
Report from Toronto Cycling Advisory Committee Sub-Committee, led by the Toronto Cyclists Union.
Margaret Hastings-James (at her last Committee meeting as she is moving to Hamilton and starting a family – Congrats Margaret!) and Yvonne Bambrick presented progress on a great project that is providing input to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation on a Drivers Handbook revision. In short, the project is attempting to get more references to cyclists and pedestrians in the book that new drivers study when they get their licenses. Great language is proposed like "be aware and courteous to all road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians".
Great way to ensure drivers are more aware of cyclists on the road.
4. Presentation of the 2009 Cycling Survey
Dan Egan presented the key findings from a Cycling Survey undertaken this past summer with the same questions of a survey undertaken in 1999. The city is planning on re-doing this survey every 3-4 years instead of every 10.
I posted about the key findings from this survey yesterday, so I'll point you at that post for the key findings and links to documents.
5. Presentation of the 2010 Bikeway Program
The meeting was behind schedule, so I had to leave mid-way through this presentation, but basically, for 2010, the City will be concentrating on connecting and enhancing downtown bike lanes and bike routes. I don't know if this is because it's an election year, so getting new bike infrastructure where there are more cyclists may be more politically feasible. It's most likely just to enhance the downtown infrastructure to continue to build on the increasing numbers of cyclists on downtown streets.
6. Presentation of the Bikeway Network State of Good Repair
Well, I missed this presentation (as I mentioned above, I had to leave before the meeting ended), so I am looking forward to any documents posted online regarding this. :)
I left City Hall and was entranced by watching skaters on Nathan Philips Square for a few minutes… and wished I had brought my skates. (photo below by alfred ng)

Alan H. Gold MD, FACS
About the Practice
Practice Philosophy
For more than thirty years, Dr. Gold has dedicated himself to the goal of providing unsurpassed excellence and artistry in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. To achieve the best results for his patients, he creatively utilizes all of the "traditional" as well as the "newest" and most innovative techniques and procedures, but always with his patient's safety and best results in mind. With plastic surgery constantly in the media and with other surgeons and companies aggressively promoting themselves, their techniques or their products to the public, Dr. Gold carefully evaluates those claims to determine for his patients what may be real and beneficial for them and what is just advertising "hype". With an artist's eye, his procedures are always skillfully tailored to the unique needs and desires of the individual, in order to produce both a "natural" and elegant result while maintaining the desired individual "look" and character of the patient. To that end, you can be assured that Dr. Gold performs each and every surgical procedure entirely himself, of course with the assistance of the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center's experienced nursing staff and anesthesiologists, but with no other operating or assistant surgeon.

Staff & Facilities
Surgical Facility
While the careful selection of your surgeon remains the single most important factor in determining the success of your surgery, Dr. Gold emphasizes that you must also be equally careful and selective in choosing the facility in which your surgery will be performed. The Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center is located within our office and surgery suite.
We are proud to say that our surgery center is fully accredited by The American Association for the Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities, Inc. (AAAASF). Dr. Gold has had the privilege of serving as President of AAAASF, and is a member of the Board of Directors of Surgical Facilities Resources, the AAAASF subsidiary responsible for the international accreditation of surgical facilities throughout the rest of the world. The primary mission of AAAASF since its establishment in 1980 has been to ensure the highest quality patient care in the ambulatory surgery setting. However, the vast majority of ambulatory surgery facilities across the United States remain unaccredited, operating independent of any peer review and inspection process. Fortunately, New York State has just enacted a law mandating the inspection and accreditation of all office-based facilities administering sedation or general anesthesia, which we hope will serve as a template for similar legislation in other states.
AAAASF is in the forefront of promoting mandatory state and national legislation to provide patients with safety and quality assurance in the outpatient surgery setting, and is pleased to have worked with the State of New York in that regard. The AAAASF accreditation guidelines have been widely recognized as the "Gold Standard", providing the highest level of safety and quality in ambulatory surgical care. AAAASF rigorously inspects and evaluates each facility seeking accreditation to ensure that it meets those Standards. AAAASF accredited facilities are continually monitored and improved through the analysis of individual facility performance compared to established standards.
Today, with over 1500 such accredited member outpatient surgical facilities in the US and an increasing number abroad, the not-for-profit AAAASF is the largest accrediting organization of its kind in the world. Dr. Gold believes that certification by AAAASF assures his patients of his commitment to a culture of safety in our office and the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center.
Additionally, Dr. Gold emphasizes that the selection of your anesthesiologist is also a crucial factor in determining the safety, comfort, and ultimate success of your surgical experience. An excellent staff of caring, experienced anesthesiologists with particular expertise in ambulatory anesthesia, have been carefully selected by Dr. Gold to provide the anesthesia services in the Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center.
Under the direction of Kevin Glassman, MD, the physicians of General Anesthesia Services, LLP , all of whom are certified by the American Board of Anesthesia, are committed to ensuring your safety and comfort during surgery.
The Gold Ambulatory Surgery Center facility was designed by Dr. Gold and its staff of operating room and recovery room nurses and anesthesiologists are carefully selected by him to ensure that your experience with us will be a pleasant one. You can therefore be confident that if you choose to have your surgery performed here you will be choosing a facility in which the highest levels of your safety and comfort are our utmost concern.

Once upon a time in an entire different universe called the 1980′s, teen movies weren't just good, but great. They were far better scripted and the group of teenage actors from which directors and casting agents could choose was just, without being insulting, different. One of the most important people to the teen movie genre in the 80′s was writer and director, John Hughes. More

Savane - News: Release 1.3: data export, documentation manager (cookbook), bugfixes, cosmetics

[23 news in archive]
Release 1.3: data export, documentation manager (cookbook), bugfixes, cosmetics
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Tue Dec 6 09:27:09 2005.
I'm glad to announce savane 1.3 public release. Thanks a lot to anyone involved in release, especially Yves Perrin from CERN.
The cookbook (documentation manager) and data export new features are described at <https://savannah.cern.ch/doc/faq_dev_021205.html>
The release tracking has been made with the task #2370.
Moved to SVN:
Savane development moved from CVS to SVN. If you obtained Savane via CVS, to update your copy, you will have to:
- move the current savane directory, with CVS stuff, into somethingelse
- downloading anonymously the SVN into savane, exactly where the previous was (see the SVN page)
- copying configure.cache from the previous savane directory, with CVS stuff, "somethingelse", into the new savane directory
- in the new savane directory, running ./configure && make to regenerate things that requires it.
Obtaining it:
- The GPG-signed tarball is available at <http://download.gna.org/savane/>
- You can use apt-get with Debian, adding "deb http://dl.gna.org/savane/debian/ stable/" (without quotes) in your /etc/apt/sources.list
Upgrading a running installation:
If you are running Savane 1.2, you should run sql and perl scripts included in savane/update/1.3, as described in savane/update/README (or shipped with the debian package savane-update).
These scripts will handle the trivial changes on the database needed. They are supposedly safe but you should, indeed, do a backup of your database first, just in case (using mysqldump, for instance).
If you are running an older version than 1.2, you should run the scripts in savane/update for each release you missed.
Also, you need to update your configuration following these instructions:
------ configuration update instructions ------
Note that in the following, you must replace
/usr/share/savane-frontend-php/ by the path to the root of your
savane frontend installation (where index.php is).
- To improve security, you should add the following in your
apache configuration file:
# Restrict access into include/
<Directory /usr/share/savane-frontend-php/include>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
In the main section <Directory /usr/share/savane-frontend-php>
you should also add:
# PHP conf
# to improve security
php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen off
php_admin_flag display_errors off
- Still for security improvement, you should add in your php.ini, if
you are sure that no PHP installation on your server require these:
disable_functions = exec, passthru, popen, shell_exec, system
This would greatly improve the overal security, making potential flaws
in Savane unexploitable.
- $sys_datefmt syntax is now exactly the one of strftime(), see
This is a deprecated option, you should use it only if you want to
enforce a specific syntax for dates.
------------ end ------------
Installing it from scratch:
Just follow INSTALL.verbose. You will probably want to take a look at more completes guides available at <http://download.gna.org/savane-doc/>
If you encounter undocumented troubles, please fill a support request at <https://gna.org/support/?group=savane>
Release ChangeLog:
- Cosmetics:
- review icons position (bug #4577).
- review Gna! theme: lighter colors to help the eye to
- add emeraud theme (based on Gna! theme and KDE "emerald"
color theme) propose it as default during install.
- new CSS guidelines, version 1.12 + 1.13.
- use "blocks" css element in several places to make it
easier to follow links.
- Fix some XHTML errors (bug #4692).
- The selected theme is now honoured when logging in while no cookie
exists but a database setting (bug #4449)
- Show only user modifiable fields in the "additional constraint"
form, as it makes only sense to check whether this field have changed
since a date if they can be changed (bug #4452).
- Order alphabetically "additional constraint" fields names. Using
the order configured for the whole form does not make sense inside
a select box, it's not user friendly.
- For conveniency, CanUse() now interpret both "bugs" and "bug"
as valid argument (bug #4571).
- Make possible to set automatic transition caused by the field
Open/Closed on item creation (bug #4517).
- Avoid swarming backslashes to appears in items reports when a form
is reposted several times due to mandatory field not filled
(bug #4618).
- Users GPG keys are now provided as download, not included in an
HTML page, so it easier to load the key. This way, modern desktop
environment like KDE are able to automatically import the key,
without requiring excessive user interaction (bug #4414).
- Improve testconfig.php tests: fix a typo in the name of the
variable register_long_arrays, mention that an unset variable may as
well be set to off, add a Securing PHP config section (bug #4538,
bug #4537).
- When a project is approved, the patch tracker is not activated
by default: this tracker is deprecated.
- User permissions page, when project admins set users rights, no
longer shows unused features (bug #2205).
- Makes text area for item details or comments bigger.
- Links will now be build when the string "file #nnn" appears in
comments/text, like for "bug #nnn".
- Feature a new tracker: the cookbook manager (task #2369,
- FAQ tool was removed, the Cookbook should be used instead.
- "Status" field is now shown by default to project members when
posting new item for most trackers (bug #4689).
- Various code cleanups.
- Cleanup date formatting (bug #4570, task #2614).
- Internal changes: Add a context guess library that will come
handy for the coobook to know whatis appropriate to suggest to users.
Using the old hand-filled top-tab was implying to many issues,
especially because we would have to fill by hand subcontext info
(main context : which tracker for example ; subcontext : what action
is being done, posting new item for instance).
This implementation deprecates a lot of old things. Most notably,
in all *_header() calls will remains context parameters, aka toptabs,
that will actually never be used any longer).
The new library provide context_title() and context_icon() that should
be used to know which title and icon is appropriate for a given page
(if a parameter title is provided in a *_header() call, it will still
be appended to the icon). Also CONTEXT and SUBCONTEXT constant are
defined and available.
- Reorganize project administration pages so they look alike other
pages, (mimic My Account Conf, for example), avoid using h3 to put
links but only to put real titles.
- Remove admin/groupedit-add.php, deprecated function to create
groups. Groups should always be registered in the usual way, even
by site admins, it is cleaner and easier to debug.
- Show attached files mimetype (ie: image/png) along with size
- Fix a bug causing "Same a new item" comment post restriction to
always refer to the restriction for new item post of the group type,
instead of the group one if any (bug #4794).
- Fix a bug causing items in "My Items" and "My Incoming Items" to
look unpredictably ordered and making the page layout slow to be
printed on screen (bug #4808).
- Incorporate Savane User Guide as "In Depth Guide" into Savane
(task #2598).
- By default, all items corresponding to the query form are
selected for the Digest.
- While browsing item, use Item Id in reverse order, from the
latest to the older, as default sorting criteria (bug #4447).
- Implement interface to select items to export in xml files,
put in a queue handled by the backend (task #2564).
- Implement export to xml files according to queue generated
via the frontend (task #2565).
- Add GetDBHash that returns a clean hash. Useful to grab data
which may contain ',', in which case GetDB should not be used.
- Add tables necessary to make the cookbook manager running.
- Fusion content of trackers tables *_file into trackers_file.
That's all, folks!
|Repackaged once (posted by Mathieu Roy, Tue Dec 6 14:02:18 2005)

By Sheena Barnett/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – The Defenders Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club donated more than $2,000 to the Mallory Conlee Child Abuse Fund at the Lee County Sheriff's Department on Monday.
Conlee, 2, was abused and killed by William Matthew Wilson on State Park Road in 2006. The Defenders LEMC chose the child abuse fund, set up in Conlee's name to help families and victims of child abuse, as their first fundraiser.
The Defenders had their Child Abuse Foundation Benefit Ride on Saturday at the Lee County Ag Center.
"We had a lot of people show up, and we were thankful for that," said Steve Chambers, vice president of the Dixie Thunder Chapter. "We were honored to raise that much."
The day included auctions, poker run, live music, kids' events and vendors, and on Monday the Defenders presented a check for $2,654.80 to Lee County investigator Donna Franks.
"So many people in Lee County wanted to help after (Conlee) died," Franks said, so the fund was set up in Conlee's name. The money is used now to help children who have been abused and help pay for families' court costs.
"We've helped a lot of families since 2006," she said.
The Defenders saw an overwhelming response from fellow bikers in Northeast Mississippi and from chapters in nearby states.
Chambers said they hope this is the first of many events to raise money for the fund.
"We hope to double our money next year," he said.

Washington County investors group expanding businesses catering to energy industryJanuary 16, 2014 11:20 PM
Seven years ago, Big Jim, a 20-foot metal cowboy, was rescued from eBay and installed at the entrance of the Bentleyville Best Western Garden Inn Hotel.
With a pistol drawn in one hand and a rifle in the other, he's defended the hotel and for the past two years kept an eye on renovations at the former RC Cola factory nearby. That property, renamed Big Jim's Plaza, is readying to open this spring or summer. It, along with several other related ventures owned by a group of Washington County physicians, is courting the oil and gas crowd.
In fact, the tenants currently committed to the plaza are spinoffs from the owner's other ventures.
Kam Gosai, one of the property owners, and his son Tejas Gosai, who manages the Best Western, Holiday Inn Express in Bentleyville and a handful of other hotels through his company Shale Hotels, have invested in several businesses to leverage the needs and wallets of the region's burgeoning oil and gas industry.
Shale Media Group, Mr. Gosai's marketing company, runs two dozen websites aggregating oil and gas news, producing original content and giving plugs to companies that sign marketing agreements with the firm. It owns more than 470 domain names, securing every imaginable iteration of the words "shale" and "news."
Then there's the compressed natural gas fueling station they're building near the Bentleyville hotels.
For a brief time, Mr. Gosai was part-owner of a catering company that served well workers.
Dr. Gosai and his partners have owned Big Jim's Plaza for 13 years, but when Mr. Gosai moved back to the area to manage the hotels, he looked at it the way he looks at everything now: with gas-colored glasses.
Renovation on the 29,000-square-foot building began in 2010. There was talk of selling to an oil and gas service company, but in the end, the owners kept the building. Its space would boost their existing ventures and house some new ones, they reasoned.
Currently, the plaza has three tenants: the Holiday Inn Express, adjacent to the plaza, will use it as an annex for banquets and conference events; the Best Western will store trucks and equipment there; and the new Shale Energy Institute will be headquartered there.
The Shale Energy Institute is a joint venture between the hotel owners, Mr. Gosai, and Cory Wilbanks, who developed the oil and gas curriculum for Western Area Career & Technical School in Canonsburg. Last year, he decided he wanted to run his own school.
The Shale Energy Institute's certification for commercial drivers, with a focus on oil and gas, was recently approved by the state.
Mr. Wilbanks' goal is to train people to be two-in-one oil and gas workers.
"You have to be able to transport the equipment that you'll be working on at the [well site]," he said. "When you can do that, you can provide a company with two employees for the price of one."
Mr. Wilbanks said he has unofficial agreements with several natural gas service companies interested in his students, whom he anticipates will be offered jobs "inside of 24 hours of graduating."
Because the school just received its certification, it hasn't enrolled any students. But Mr. Wilbanks expects the first class, scheduled to begin in mid-February, will include about 10 students. Until Big Jim's Plaza is finished, the school will be staged inside the Holiday Inn.
In the future, students who travel to Bentleyville from far enough away to warrant overnight stays will be steered to the Holiday Inn Express and the Best Western through discounted rates.
"It's just implied that it will be good for the business in the hotels," Mr. Gosai said.
There is still plenty of unleased space at Big Jim's Plaza. Mr. Gosai is courting a barbecue restaurant and bar that caters to the oil and gas industry as well as other businesses in need of office space.

Pistachios and "pickled" peppers top warm, creamy Camembert in this festive appetizer.
The bell pepper mixture can be made up to 24 hours in advance; cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, reheat in the microwave on High for 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve on a gold or silver holiday platter, and tuck a few sprigs of fresh rosemary around the cheese.
Camembert is a wonderful rich, creamy cheese from France that typically comes in a round and has a soft edible rind. When ripe, this fragrant cheese oozes slightly.

'Bones and Mummies' is topic of talk, April 2
Posted March 28, 2007; 05:57 p.m.
A lecture titled "Bones and Mummies: Science Revealing the Past" is set for 7 p.m. Monday, April 2, in 6 Friend Center.
Frank Rühli, head of applied anatomy at the University of Zurich's Institute of Anatomy, will speak about his work in evolutionary medicine, which merges anthropological, archaeological and clinical sciences to trace changing human anatomy, physiology and disease patterns.
Some of the cases he will discuss include: the cause of death of "Otzi" the famous iceman of the Tyrolean Alps; the methods and mechanisms of ancient deliberate mummification; the extent of so-called civilization diseases such as atherosclerosis in ancient mummies; and pathological findings in preserved bone that support diagnoses of syphilis, tuberculosis or hyperparathyroidism in persons of historic interest.
The lecture is sponsored by the Department of Chemistry with support from Siemens Medical Solutions, the National Geographic Society, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, the Helen-Bieber Fund and the University of Zurich.


text: I could not locate any turkeys on the last day of the fall season, so I went to a spot I call my honey hole and put out a jake and hen decoy. I called intermittently from 7:15. At 10:20 I heard one faint "chuck". To my front and right I saw three red heads in the long grass. Three gobblers came in to my decoys within minutes. I took the last one (12 yards) since the other two were bunched up. This gobbler had a 6 inch beard and 1/2 inch spurs. I have always had good success in the spring and fall just sitting and calling. Some people say I am persistent, my wife says I am too stubborn to give up [:D]

I just spent an hour pissing around with my icewm preferences. I got rid of the 'start' menu on the taskbar, in an attempt to break that bad habit. Key combos are the way to go. Now a button to pop up an xterm owns that real estate. Screenshot of my new background image and nifty-ized taskbar.
I also cleaned out the crap from the global 'menu' file, since debian's menu program handles everything anyway.
What else? Midterm today, I think I did not too badly. Midterm tomorrow night, which is going to suck.

[November 29, 2012]
Longtime venture capitalist Warren Packard turns entrepreneur
Nov 29, 2012 (San Jose Mercury News - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- "Venture capital," joked Warren Packard, "is sort of like the Mafia: You can never leave." But the longtime managing director at Draper Fisher Jurvetson is doing just that.
After more than a decade helping other people's companies get off the ground, Packard two years ago launched Thuuz, a startup that alerts sports fans when a game becomes particularly exciting, then tells them where to find the action on TV or online.
The company, which Packard likens to "Pandora for sports" for its ability to help fans discover new content, recently landed $4.2 million in its first round of outside funding.
"We started the company as a side project," he said, "and realized that we were onto something big." The startup's name (pronounced "thooze") is a play on the word "enthusiasm," and one of the entrepreneurs whom Packard backed while at DFJ says that's a quality the Stanford grad has in spades.
"Warren is one of the more energetic and passionate people you're going to run into," Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said in an email to this newspaper. Costolo's last company, FeedBurner, was bankrolled by Packard and DFJ in 2005; two years later, Google (GOOG) bought it for a reported $100 million.
Packard, 45, admits it's riskier to go from running a portfolio of companies to putting all your chips behind just one. And, technically, he remains a part-time venture partner at DFJ, not wanting to abandon his handful of active investments there. But he said 99 percent of his work time is devoted to Palo Alto-based Thuuz.
Time, in fact, was what sparked the idea for the company. A father of four young children, Packard no longer had the leisure to watch sports on TV.
"I didn't want to spend three hours on the couch hoping that a game would get interesting," he said.
Then he started thinking about his early career as an engineer at Hughes Aircraft, doing numerical modeling for satellite design. He wondered if the same kind of modeling could capture sports excitement.
Working with a veteran software engineer and the longtime creative director of Oakland-based Pandora, Packard devised a system that combs live play-by-play feeds from providers such as Stats. Thuuz also takes into account Twitter and Facebook messages about ongoing games, combining the chatter and statistical data to determine in real time what Packard calls "the pace and energy shift." So if it's the bottom of the eighth inning and Pablo Sandoval is on deck for the San Francisco Giants in a close matchup, Thuuz will send you a message -- and pointers on where to view the game, whether that's a local sports bar or a streaming feed on your mobile phone.
"Content is being fragmented, spread around on different devices," Packard said. "People are used to saying, 'The Giants are on TV today,' but you might not even know you could get that game on your phone." If the game is being broadcast behind a paywall and a Thuuz user clicks to watch it, the company gets a "bounty" from the content provider. Thuuz also makes money by partnering with makers of set-top boxes and other devices powered by GoogleTV and Dish Network, which come with the app preloaded.
Working with a range of content providers, including ESPN, and mobile carriers such as AT&T, Thuuz covers about 250 games a week from pro and college football, baseball, basketball and soccer. Tennis, golf and motor sports are on tap for next year, Packard said.
Houston-based Plunkett Research estimates that the U.S. sports industry rakes in more than $400 billion a year, including ticket sales, endorsements and advertising, sports video games and retail sporting-goods sales. And, noted Jack Plunkett, the market research firm's CEO, the growing demand for sports content is changing the industry.
"The value of sports content continues to climb dramatically," he said.
Indeed, San Francisco sports-fan site Bleacher Report sold to Turner Broadcasting in August for a reported $175 million after garnering more than 10 million visitors a month.
Thuuz, for now, can only dream about such numbers: Packard said the free app has been downloaded about 350,000 times since its December debut.
The recent cash infusion, from international cable giant Liberty Global, will let Thuuz add "hundreds of leagues in coming years," Packard said.
David Adams, a Thuuz user and adviser who works for an interactive TV company, said other startups like Zeebox, GetGlue, Miso and SocialGuide are competing in the "social TV" space, aiming to give viewers recommendations on what to watch. The difference, he said, is that Thuuz does a better job making sure each recommendation matches a user's preferences and profile.
Adams remembers getting a ping from the service a few months back when the Giants' Matt Cain was in the midst of throwing a perfect game. After a mad dash to a local bar, "I got to watch from the sixth inning on," Adams said, "as opposed to hearing about it the next day." Contact Peter Delevett at 408-271-3638.

Engineers believe that if it isn't broken, it doesn't have enough features yet.
Britton's Red Echo Lightning Storm JH WC
RIP HR Britton's Gold Ginger Spice JH 02/18/2002 to 11/07/2014
From the New Hampshire Union Leader...
"President Obama has shown us that to achieve the unrealized promise of this great nation, we must transcend outdated values such as public thrift, individual liberty and restrained government. All power must be shifted to Washington and deposited in the hands of a wise and benevolent ruler whose will is never questioned...To do anything less is to guarantee disaster."
Our President is nothing more than a young, well-spoken liberal fascist. He won and he will trump us and the next 4 years will be brutal.
We live in Cuba now.
Find any place in the House bill, the President's proposals or any comparable source that creates death panels. Do you believe that information should be withheld on a patient's right to direct how they will be cared for in the event they are no longer able to give direction? I have the right to stipulate that I want everything possible to be done to keep me alive for as long as possible, or I can direct that I do not want any treatment at all in the end that I am unable to direct my care. Either way, it should be my choice. That is both a moral and legal imperative now. All the house bill did was to allow physicians to bill for time spent helping patients to understand and take advantage of their rights. Calling that "euthanasia counseling" or a "death panel" is a blatant lie by people who know better but have decided that their cause is served better by lies than by the truth.
My wife had pancreatic cancer.
When the time came, the Nurse Practitioner & the Dr. in charge of the whole case and a Counseler (Psychologist) sat me down and explain what was in front of me.
We had some decisions to make.
As we moved tp Pallative care and then into Hospice I was informed of the decisions we (I) had to make and their ramifications.
I don't know if I would call them "Death" panels, but they were informative and helpful as I did not have the experience of having gone thru this before.
With out their oversight and help how would I know what to do?
Point is, there needs to be a support & educational offering as patients and care givers travel the process of dieing.
Having a Postal worker or DOT worker (civil service employee) replacing these wonderful caring people that helped me in my darkest time.
That, frankly, is the rub!!

"Sorry sir, you are retired and won't contribute as much to taxes in the future as this 24 year old who is in law school. I know there is a 50% cure rate for this medical problem, but our government plan sees a better chance on return by taking care of this 24 year old's medical problem. He will return more in taxes, and probably will be a democrat looking at the education field he has chosen. Here is some literature on how to accept your fate, or you can cash out more of your retirement funds and pay for the procedures out of pocket in Mexico or India."
Or even my own experience with HMO:
"I don't care if you are in pain, you can still walk." A year later after many returns to the Dr, "Okay, I will refer you to the orthopedic surgeon, I doubt he will find anything." Ortho Surgeon - "WOW, you can't straighten your leg when I put a slight pressure on it here. You have a torn medial meniscus cartilage. Your surgery is scheduled Friday." After surgery, "WOW, you had a major tear in there. Your knee cap, and knee has shown some major wear from that torn cartilage floating around in there. Expect to have a knee replacement down the road. These HMO's delaying necessary medical care is creating more costs down the road, and are a headache to deal with."
The government plan will be like the HMO.

Yes we know ,,,its the typical liberal response when people disagree with the leftLet the hate flow
They will be making treatment choices for all. The choices at "end of life" will be included. "Maybe you will need just a pain pill rather than a pacemaker" to paraphrase the President. The are life and death decisions made now, but governments can't be sued without their permission, corporations can.

Mor Mor's Sour Cream Waffles
We have the pleasure this week of my mom visiting from MinnesOta, the kids love it when she is here but I think that I love it most! She is a clean FREAK and whips this place into shape! AND we eat the best food while she is here... she loves to cook, but not those simple things, she has these delicious elaborate recipes that I LOVE. She is the kind of mom that made stuffed peppers when I had friends over as a kid... embarrassing then but I am so thankful now that I have a taste for the good things in life!
She found her old waffle recipe and has been making waffles for my sister and her kids in the last few months, she is on a bit of a roll with it... you never know when you are going to get the invitation to Margit's house for waffles! I was so jealous that I went out and bought a waffle iron for her arrival, and I am glad that I did... you cannot believe these airy and delicious delights! I remember them as a child but they seem even better now! We paired them with whipped cream and lingonberries and YUM! Amazing! or fresh strawberries when they are in season!
Mor Mor's Sour Cream Waffles
2 eggs - separate the yolk and whites
1 cup sour cream (or buttermilk but she prefers sour cream)
1/3 cup melted better
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda (mix with a bit of water)
3 teaspoons milk
beat the egg yolk and mix in sour cream, flour, melted butter, salt and baking soda/water mix and the milk.
beat the egg whites separately until light and fluffy and fold into batter.
When my mom made them she said "you are not going to like this recipe because it's a little bit fussy" and she is right, but they are darn well worth it and make up for all the trouble with delicious waffles! She also said that she once forgot the milk (runs in the family) and she thinks they taste even better that way!
Any way you look at them they are THE BEST!
These would be a great idea for Fathers Day!!
3 comments:
Are there not ANY sugar in these pancakes?
I never take time to write, but these are so worthy! I love your blog and home, thank you so much!
I made these for my family today and they said this is THE recipe.
- nonchalant mom said...
I am SO happy that people are enjoying these! they ARE the greatest and NO SUGAR, isn't that wonderful!
happy waffle day! - carina

Holy Cringle:
Now, the first movie was a pretty good family film. My aunt sent me the movie as a Christmas present once. I thought it was pretty good, and was a neat premise. But I don't know what to think about a sequel.
The trailer made it look decent, but trailers can be deceiving. The thing I'm most worried about is that the 'fine print' is once again the catalyst for the plot. We saw this already in the first film, couldn't they do something else? Or at least down play it. I mean, if this is a success, what's the third one going to be about?
"Even more fine print, Santa. You need to protect the Earth from invading space spiders."
Oh well, I'm sure the kiddies will love it.

Southwestern Alumnae Chair Foundation Boards of Influential Women Business Leaders' Organizations
Two prominent Southwestern alumnae, who are members of the law school's Board of Trustees and adjunct faculty, spearhead major organizations for women in leadership. Daphne Anneet '94 is Chair of the National Association of Women Business Owners - Los Angeles (NAWBO-LA) Foundation, and Larraine Segil '79 serves as Global Vice Chair of the Governing Board and as Global Chair of the Foundation Board for The Committee of 200.
Ms. Segil is a seasoned senior executive with entrepreneurial general management experience and a world renowned level of expertise in conflict resolution and the creation, implementation and management of complex business alliances and outsourcing relationships. She is Partner Emeritus of Vantage Partners, a consulting firm in conflict resolution and internal and external relationship management and serves on the Board of Frontier Communications, a Fortune 300 company, and on the Board of the National Association of Corporate Directors, Los Angeles Chapter.
The Committee of 200 (C200) founded 1982, is an invitation-only global organization of Women CEO's dedicated to fostering, celebrating and advancing women's leadership in business worldwide. C200 reaches out through the C200 Foundation (the grant making arm of C200) to a broad continuum of women: from young girls in high school to female students worldwide in undergraduate and business schools, to help them further their careers in business as well as those in engineering, computer sciences and medical schools to encourage them to become educated about the business world. The organization includes women running their own businesses such as Sara Akbar, CEO of Kuwait Energy, as well as those leading the largest corporations such as Ellen Kuhlman, the Chairman and CEO of Dupont. Its programs reach also into the workplace, providing role models for mid-career women in large organizations through their corporate reachouts globally at companies such as Intel among others.
"Southwestern gave me the self-confidence to solve problems, a capability I have applied throughout my business career," Ms. Segil said. "Leading the foundation of a global organization of women CEO's enables me to work with other leaders to 'pay it forward' to women worldwide who are building businesses, employing people, and making the world a better place for all."
A recognized expert on contingent worker issues, Ms. Anneet is a partner in the law firm of Burke, Williams & Sorensen LLP, and is a member of the firm's Labor and Employment, Public Law, and Trial and Advocacy Practice Groups. She also recently served as a pro-bono city attorney prosecutor for the City of Inglewood.
The National Association of Women Business Owners - Los Angeles (NAWBO-LA) is one of the organization's leading chapters since its beginnings in 1979. The mission of NAWBO-LA is to propel women entrepreneurs into economic, social and political spheres of power by strengthening the wealth creating capacity of members and promoting economic development within the entrepreneurial community; creating innovative and effective changes in the business culture; building strategic alliances, coalitions and affiliations; and transforming public policy and influencing opinion makers. Founded in 2000, the NAWBO-LA Foundation is dedicated to accelerating initiatives that promote women's entrepreneurship worldwide through programs that encourage women to pursue positions of leadership and power, and building a legacy for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Citigroup optical networking technology analyst Kevin Dennean this morning writes in a letter to clients that an "inflection point" is approaching for the field as a "waiting game nears end," which could give a lift to shares of Ciena (CIEN) in particular.
Writes Dennean, who has a Buy rating and a $19 price target on Ciena,
As carriers increase cap ex for network expansion and upgrades, we believe optical names will be 2H13 beneficiaries. 100G deployments and increased adoption of OTN switching (both in standalone 5430 and converged POTS platform) will be key drivers for CIEN while FNSR should see an inflection higher from increased spend in Datacom and ramp of ROADMs and T-XFPs, breaking revenue out of the ~$230-$240mln range that FNSR has been locked into over the past 7 quarters.
Dennean takes his cue from some recent results in the industry:
Recent results of optical peers (summarized in the table below) indicate that results for the past quarter were generally better than consensus (with the notable exception of Oclaro), and that the outlook, given a full quarter of price negotiations, was roughly inline with consensus estimates. However, despite these results, optical companies generally faced near-term stock price underperformance (the exception being JDS Uniphase (JDSU) outperforming on visibility strength) due in part to cloudy visibility; therefore, we see opportunity in stock price underperformance which is disconnected from positive carrier cap ex spending commentary and general strength in bookings for the group during the first four weeks of the current quarter.
With Ciena reporting before market open this Thursday, March 7th, and component supplier Finisar (FNSR) reporting that afternoon, Ciena may report "slightly above" consensus estimates for $449 million in revenue and a loss of 14 cents a share, while Finisar will be in line with expectations for $238 million and a 16-cent profit per share.
Ciena is gaining share in optical equipment, writes Dennean:
We believe spending at key North American carriers (Verizon Communications (VZ) & AT&T (T)) will improve for Ciena in CY'13. The 5430 and 100G metro ramp is ahead for VZ and should be a meaningful contributor in 2013. Ciena will likely benefit from cap ex increases at AT&T (specifically, AT&T's renewed focus in Wireline). We estimate Ciena gained ~500bps in N. American WDM during 2012 and expect additional share gains ahead of North American carriers deploy 100G and POTS, especially now that Ciena's WaveLogic3 chip has been delivered to carriers and is generally available. Importantly, the competitive field is narrowing: i) recent private equity deal for competitor is likely to be viewed negatively by carriers, ii) Huawei's disappointing customer service and national security concerns presents opportunity and iii) Alcatel's difficulties should translate into share gains.
As for Finisar, on which he maintains a Hold rating, the April fiscal Q4 could show a "break out" in revenue, he thinks:
As revenue continues to ramp and mgt remains tight on the reins for op ex control, we see 2013 as an inflection point FNSR. We model $247mln/$0.19 in revenue/EPS, with revenue breaking out of the 21 month range-bound ~$230-$240mln level; consensus calls for $241mln/$0.17. We expect both Datacom and Telecom revenue to grow both q/q and y/y, and anticipate further revenue ramping from ROADMs and T-XFPs, helping to drive better GM% with continued op ex control driving higher OM%.
Ciena shares today are up a penny at $14.84, while Finisar stock is up 10 cents, or 0.8%, at $14.38.

For the past 20 years, soccer in this region has been defined by two teams and the two coaches who have led those programs. Battle Mountain's Dave Cope, left, and Steamboat's Rob Bohlmann have created a dynamic soccer culture while cultivating a unique rivalry.

Rivalry at its best: Steamboat and Battle Mountain coaches have long history
Soccer on the Western Slope has been defined by the two mountain schools. Without Steamboat, Battle Mountain wouldn't have reached the success it enjoyed in 2012. Without Battle Mountain's resurgence, there is no rivalry. At the heart of the competition for the past 20 years have been Dave Cope and Rob Bohlmann
