What's Your Best Upset Stomach Home Remedy?
I woke up this morning with some...let's say "digestive distress." My best guess is that I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me over the weekend, though I can't imagine what. Anyway, it's almost halfway through my work day, and my upset stomach hasn't gotten any better.

Insurance firm IPO to test battered UAE market
Finance House plans to raise $18 mln from IPO – bankers; IPO planned for next month – bankers; UAE markets have not seen an IPO in past two years
January 26, 2011 3:55 by Reuters
Abu Dhabi-based Insurance House is planning a small initial public offering (IPO) in February, banking sources said, the latest company to test investor demand after a drought of stock market listings.
The United Arab Emirates has not seen an IPO in about two years as the global economic downturn and Dubai's debt crisis dented investors' appetite.
Insurance House, a unit of Abu Dhabi-listed Finance House, is planning to raise 66 million dirhams ($18 million) by listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), the sources said.
Another Abu Dhabi-based firm Eshraq Properties is also planning an IPO in February, Reuters reported earlier this month. Eshraq plans to sell a 55 percent stake worth an estimated $224 million in the IPO and list on the Abu Dhabi stock exchange.
"Approval has been secured from the Emirates Securities Authority and the (Insurance House) IPO will be launched on Feb. 16 for 14 days," an Abu Dhabi-based banker who did not want to be identified told Reuters on Wednesday.
The founders will retain 45 percent of the company's shares, offering 55 percent to the public, said the banker. The company's share capital is 120 million dirhams.
UAE handset retailer Axiom Telecom cancelled its IPO in December, citing "market conditions and liquidity" concerns. Axiom had hoped to debut on NASDAQ Dubai in early December with a market value of up to $1 billion.
National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Finance House are acting as the lead receiving banks for Insurance House's IPO along with Mashreq Bank. Finance House officials declined to comment on the IPO plans.

Earth Day Special: "Fierce Green Fire" Documentary Explores Environmental Movement's Global Rise
In an Earth Day special, we look at the history of the global environmental movement as told in the sweeping new documentary, "A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet." We air extended highlights from the film — from New York housewives who take on a major chemical company that polluted their community of Love Canal to Greenpeace's campaigns to save whales, to the fight by Chico Mendes and Brazilian rubber tappers to save the Amazon rainforest. We also speak to the film's Oscar-nominated director, Mark Kitchell. "We were really looking to tell stories of the movement. We thought it would be a more engaging and impassioned approach to what are very difficult subjects. Usually environmental films, no matter how good they are, are an eco-bummer," Kitchell says. "These people succeed against enormous odds. And that should give us some kind of hope." "A Fierce Green Fire" airs tonight on PBS American Masters.

Press Release
February 11, 2013
Sharon Fletcher, Director of Marketing & Communications
As part of a weeklong series on NBC's TODAY Show called "TODAY Takes Action," shelter pet adoption is the social issue of choice for co-anchor Natalie Morales.
Natalie worked in partnership with Maddie's Fund, the Ad Council and The Humane Society of the United States to create a pro bono TV ad with leading global ad agency Draftfcb Chicago to support The Shelter Pet Project, the first national PSA campaign that brings together the largest animal welfare organizations and shelters across the country to promote the adoption of shelter pets.
Her fellow anchors also worked with the Ad Council, a non-profit and leading producer of PSA campaigns for over 70 years, and other leading advertising agencies throughout the country on messages supporting social issues they personally selected from among the Ad Council's 50 national campaigns. Matt Lauer chose Fatherhood Involvement, Savannah Guthrie focused on Hunger Prevention and Al Roker selected Emergency Preparedness. Each of the four anchors participated in brainstorming sessions with the ad agencies to help inform the creative process and finished product.
Natalie Morales is very passionate about the issue of shelter pet adoptions after having adopted her dog, Zara, following a pet adoption segment for TODAY in April 2011.
"The animal lovers of America are indebted to Natalie Morales and NBC's TODAY Show for helping to create a no-kill nation by promoting shelter pet adoptions and The Shelter Pet Project during 'TODAY Takes Action' week," said Rich Avanzino, President of Maddie's Fund.
The new PSAs are being distributed to NBC stations nationwide. The production costs for the PSAs have been provided by the Ad Council's non-profit and federal government partners. NBC is also featuring content about the series on TODAY Show's website and you can follow the series on Twitter at #TODAYTakesAction.
About Maddie's Fund
Maddie's Fund® is a family foundation endowed by the founder of Workday® and PeopleSoft, Dave Duffield and his wife, Cheryl. Maddie's Fund, whose mission is to revolutionize the status and well-being of companion animals, is helping to achieve and sustain a no-kill nation by providing solutions to the most challenging issues facing the animal welfare community through grant giving, hands-on animal care, and research and education. Maddie's Fund is named after the family's beloved Miniature Schnauzer who passed away in 1997.

My husband is a regular visitor to The Boathouse, part of the Torridon Hotel estate. This year he persuaded me to join him - but as luck would have it we only stayed one of the seven nights booked, because of a medical problem, but I can't wait to go back. The house itself is very secluded, on the edge of the loch, down its own private road and with a jetty. There's a large seating area, with fantastic views, a wood-burning stove, satellite tv, dvd and cd player; a really well equipped and spacious kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, and wine fridge. Upstairs are two tastefully furnished double bedrooms, the master bedroom with glorious views, and the elegant bathroom. From the terrace outside you can feed the pine martens at night (they snapped up the raisins we left out!), and otters can be sighted. A generous welcome pack is provided, with all the essentials like olive oil, condiments, sugar, preserves. But make sure you bring any food you need for the week, as it isn't a stroll to the local shops and their stock is obviously limited. Wouldn't like to go there later than May, because of the midges - make sure you pack insect repellant, even in the spring. But this is truly a magical destination for couples or families, perfect for walking and wildlife, or just relaxing and soaking up the wonderful scenery and the luxury of this beautiful boathouse.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Torridon is a luxury hotel in the northwest of Scotland. We provide exclusive luxury with a personal touch to all our guests and we invite you to come and visit us and experience some of the best scenery and hospitality that Scotland has to offer. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with TripOnline SA so you can book your The Torridon reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series Hard Drive
We've been waiting months for a consumer-priced Thunderbolt drive to go up for sale, and it looks like the most affordable option yet has finally been released. LaCie's Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series Hard Drives ($400-$500) should be hitting the shelves at bricks-and-mortar Apple Stores across the globe, and they're now available from Apple's online store with a shipping time of one to two weeks.
The 7200rpm drives—available in 1TB or 2TB—come with a preconfigured RAID0 striped set. They connect over Thunderbolt, which has a maximum 10Gb/sec transfer rate, though due to the speeds of the disks inside Little Big Disk, you'll actually see read speeds closer to 190MB/s. And two Thunderbolt ports on each drive's back means that you can use one port to connect to your computer, and daisy chain more drives off of the other for additional storage space and speeds closer to 800MB/s. Be warned: neither drive includes the $50 Thunderbolt cable; you'll still have to pick that one up yourself. As for the 250GB and 500GBs solid state drive models, they're coming in October and will have read speeds in the 480MB/s range.

Best Panthers Player (2009)
Goalie Tomas Vokoun
It's Saturday night, the league-leading Boston Bruins are skating in Sunrise, and as shot after shot after wicked shot ricochets off the Panthers goalie, the BankAtlantic Center shakes louder and louder each time the distorted chords from Blur's "Song 2" cue up:
Blur: When I feel heavy metal!
Crowd: Vo-kouuuun!
Blur: When I'm on pins and needles!
Crowd: Vo-kouuuun!
Blur has been making a big comeback this year in South Florida thanks to Tomas Vokoun, the acrobatic Czech net-minder who has anchored a suddenly stingy Panthers D.
As the Cats have clawed their way up from a decade in the cellar, no one has carried the team further than its second-year goaltender. Vokoun leads the NHL in shutouts and is second in save percentage, stopping 92.6 percent of the pucks fired his way. And he's only been getting better down the stretch, as the Panthers swim the unfamiliar waters of playoff contention.
Cue up that Blur again, would ya? Woo-hooooo, indeed.

Herschell Gordon Lewis: The Difference Between Social and Sociable
Too much time has passed for any of us to think of social media with the same attitudes we had when they first burst upon the communications horizon.
Then, we accepted the word "social" in its original classic form – sharing, …More...

"One girl can be silenced, but a nation of girls telling their stories becomes free" slideshow
A photo contest winner
Topics: Great Recession, Foreclosure, Mortgage Crisis, Politics News
Ron Fournier, the editor in chief of the National Journal, and reporter Sophie Quinton have a story on hard times in Muncie, Ind., as a microcosm of the failure of American institutions as a whole.
It's a good piece. It's even an "important" piece, in the sense that the cloistered elites who run the country could learn something of the reality of life out in the country at large if this piece makes it to their desks. D.C.-based news organizations should report from "the rest of America" more often, because in Washington mass foreclosures and double-digit unemployment are usually seen as abstract problems slightly less pressing than the fact that Social Security will, decades from now, pay out slightly more than it takes in. (Joe Klein, who is basically a buffoon, returned from his stunt "2010 road trip" sounding suddenly much less buffoonish. Getting outside the bubble is often instructive.)
The piece is bookended by the story of Johnny Whitmire, a guy who was unceremoniously dropped from the rolls of the middle class by the Very Serious People In Charge of Things. His wife lost her state job. They fell behind on their mortgage. He applied for the Obama administration's mortgage modification program. His modification was canceled, Citi billed him for back payments, and his home was foreclosed on. Then he got a bill for not cutting the grass at the home his bank seized, because banks keep foreclosed homes in the names of their former owners to avoid liability issues.
So, Whitmire is angry. And he has every right to be.
Whitmire is an angry man. He is among a group of voters most skeptical of President Obama: noncollege-educated white males. He feels betrayed — not just by Obama, who won his vote in 2008, but by the institutions that were supposed to protect him: his state, which laid off his wife; his government in Washington, which couldn't rescue homeowners who had played by the rules; his bank, which failed to walk him through the correct paperwork or warn him about a potential mortgage hike; his city, which penalized him for somebody else's error; and even his employer, a construction company he likes even though he got laid off. "I was middle class for 10 years, but it's done," Whitmire says. "I've lost my home. I live in a trailer now because of a mortgage company and an incompetent government."
Whitmire's life was ruined by a few specific "institutions": Mitch Daniels and the Indiana Republican Party, the finance industry as represented by the bank that decided to screw up his paperwork and seize his home, and the Obama administration, which failed spectacularly on mortgage modification efforts for a variety of reasons.
The piece as a whole lays blame for the sorry state of affairs in Muncie at the crumbling of institutions — church, school, government — but Whitmire is actually a victim of elites. It's elite consensus that loan modifications have to be limited and difficult for homeowners in order to preclude "moral hazard" and save banks from having to overexert themselves. Mitch Daniels, a leading GOP presidential contender among George Will-style Republicans, slashed state payrolls, in the name of fiscal responsibility. The sorts of people who pay for National Journal subscriptions are actually responsible for this guy's life going to hell.
Fournier and Quinton's piece goes on to describe the decline in various Muncie institutions: the mainline Protestant church dying as a corporate-inspired Megachurch thrives outside of town, some local government scandal involving improperly cast absentee ballots and an arrogant one-term mayor. The schools are apparently awful, in part because of elite-mandated testing regimes, more Daniels budget cuts, and, of course, because many of their most motivated students have been redirected to private-run and publicly funded charter schools. (Though as usual the awfulness of the public schools is simply stated — there's no data or anything.)
But if we want to talk about how things got so bad for formerly middle-class people like Whitmire, the culprit is basically the financialization of our entire system of capitalism and the crippling of the labor movement; the slow death of the Mainline Protestant tradition doesn't really enter into it. Whitmire was screwed by a venal bank and betrayed by an administration that gave venal banks way too much leeway to screw people.
The National Journal advertises that their piece on "the solution" will run next, but I'm not entirely convinced they've nailed down "the problem."

nVidia GeForce 6200 GPU - Surprising Budget GamingToday we are taking a look at the GeForce 6200 reference graphics card from nVidia which is designed to take on ATI's Radeon X300 in the low-end PCI Express VGA marketplace. After taking a detailed look at the GPU and graphics card, we compare in our usual array of benchmarks against an older GeForce PCX5900 and Radeon X300. You might be surprised by the budget gaming performance like we were.
nVidia and ATI for the past two years have been in a heated battle for the crown of the ultimate graphics card.
ATI certainly had this wrapped up for nearly a year with the Radeon 9xxx series VPU, as nVidia made what we like to think of as too big a jump when it released the FX series GPU. This started nVidia off on the wrong track when the GeForce FX 5800 Ultra came onto the market. Its sub-standard performance and vacuum sounding heatsink certainly turned users away from picking up one for their system. The NV30 core just didn't do it for nVidia, though some improvements were made to reduce noise, heat and increase performance but the simple fact was that the NV3x cores had a problem keeping up with the ATI Radeon based graphics cards.
nVidia has now evolved on the FX series of GPU, removing the FX name completely, a new name for a new line. There are currently three different products in the GeForce 6 series, each having one or two different core variations. The high-end is comprised of the GeForce 6800 GPU with the 6800 Ultra at the top, followed by the 6800GT, 6800 and 6800LE. The mid-level consists of the 6600 line which contains the 6600GT at the top of the list, followed by the 6600. In the entry level the latest GPU to come is the 6200, with only the 6200 core itself in this class, with a possible LE or GT version to come in the future.
Today we are taking a look at the GeForce 6200 from nVidia to see what this can bring to the table to remove the PCX5900 from the top of the entry level PC platform and also how it compares against the ATI Radeon X300.

A Primer to Smogon's Communities
The following article is a brief description on each of the communities we have here at Smogon. Written by various mentors, each section contains useful information and relevant links that can help you get started. Feel free to ask any of our mentors (either on IRC or on the forums) for some clarification if you need it! Please enjoy.
Table of Contents
The Compete category houses the forums that put Smogon at the forefront of the competitive Pokemon scene. Competitive Discussion is the forum where nigh everything that has to do with Smogon's various metagames gets discussed. It's divided into different sub-forums: Ubers, Overused, Underused, Rarelyused, Neverused, Little Cup, Doubles, VGC, Battle Spot, Ruins of Alph (for metagames before generation 6), and Other Metagames. These various sub-forums are each run by a team of moderators with an extensive knowledge of the metagame in question. Within the sub-forums you will find many different threads, which range from ladder challenges (such as Research Week and Dark Horse), community projects (such as Counter that Pokémon and Community Create-a-Team) and discussion threads. At the start of every month, the usage stats thread will be updated to keep you informed on all the latest trends on the ladder, and more importantly, what to keep in mind when teambuilding! All of the sub-forums also have a "Simple Questions, Simple Answers" thread, or some variation thereof, in which you can ask any question that doesn't warrant its own thread.
The Other Metagames and VGC subforums differ somewhat from the rest. The former is where fun and spontaneous metagames are played with quirky rules that limit or boost certain Pokémon, depending on the ruleset. Of these, the most popular is Balanced Hackmons, but new ones pop up all the time! The VGC forum itself allows discussion on the VGC metagame, popular strategies, and rulesets. However, the largest source of the forum's activity comes from the Event threads. The VGCs are split into three major events: Regionals, Nationals, and Worlds. When the VGC season starts, members of the community travel to the official Nintendo VGC event to play against each other in real life and fight for the chance to win the grand prize or move on to the next level of play in the VGCs. Getting to meet your best online friend in real life is quite the experience, and many threads of the forum include stories and pictures of these gatherings of Smogonites.
You can find out more about the other forums by reading their rules and their stickied threads!
The Tournaments forum is exactly what it sounds like; the location of Smogon's major simulator-based tournaments. The best of the best of the Smogon competitive Pokémon community duke it out on a regular basis in a large variety of tournaments. Any user is eligible to participate in (be sure to post "in" when sign-ups for a tournament are posted) or host a tournament, but be warned that hosting is a large undertaking, so be sure to read the guidelines and rules here, and apply to host a tournament in the Tournament Application forum. Tournaments are hosted on a scheduled basis, that way there are only so many tournaments being hosted at once. There are also 6 major tournaments that take place throughout the year, four of which are so large that they require their own sub-forum. These are the Official Smogon Tournament, The Smogon Frontier, the World Cup of Pokémon, the Smogon Tour, the Smogon Premier League, and the Smogon Grand Slam. Each of these major tournaments use Smogon's official rulesets and banlists, as do most of the other tournaments hosted within the forum, unless stated otherwise.
Smogon Starters Hangout is a program that serves to help integrate new Smogon users into the community through casual, friendly interaction. The program allows members to begin seeking help at their own pace, requesting mentorship at a level that suits them—and their mentor—best. Mentors further aim to improve the overall quality of Smogon forums through the teaching of proper post etiquette, global rule knowledge, local forum contributions, and much more. In The Smogon Starters Hangout forum, you can find the Introduction and Hangout thread, a platform for introducing oneself and idly chatting with other members, old and new, the Questions thread for asking for clarification on anything confusing, and the Help thread, which offers a form that new members can fill out if they're interested in finding a mentor suited specifically for their Smogon-related interests. skylight is the leader of the Smogon Starters Hangout program and can be contacted with any inquiries regarding the program. Additionally, either of the moderators, Minus and Xylen, or mentors can be contacted for help or to simply ask questions about any part of the site in which they're involved. There is also a channel on IRC, called #hangout, that provides a location for live chatting with mentors and other mentees.
Battling 101 is Smogon's tutoring program. A dedicated group of experienced battlers volunteer to share their wisdom and increase the skills of newer players through one-on-one tutoring, their main goals being an increase in player skill and induction into the broader Smogon community. There are usually tutors available for nearly any metagame or tier you could want to learn more about. Tutors are assigned to tutees on a scheduled basis; the schedule of which can be found here. The tutors are then free to tutor their tutee in any manner they see fit. The format for posting in the sign-ups will be provided in the sign-up thread. Be sure to sign up as soon as you see the sign-ups posted, as spots get taken very quickly!
The Rate My Team community is one of the simplest in terms of what occurs on a daily basis. People post their teams to accrue rates, and give rates of their own to other people's teams to improve them. Presentation is a critical aspect of RMT, moreso than other forums, and Bloo's guide to successful RMT presentation, an incredibly handy resource, can be viewed here. Harsha's snippet on how to rate is another recommended post to read before posting. One section of Rate My Team is dedicated solely to OU teams, with another section dedicated to teams from other metagames, which are denoted by tags placed before the thread titles. The RMT Archive is a subsection that is dedicated to the preserving of RMTs that chronicle the development of Smogon's various metagames through well-built, excellently-presented, and most importantly, successful teams. Rating Activites is where aspiring team raters can go to learn more from established team raters. There are a few rules, seen here, that must be followed at all times.
The Pokémon Showdown! section is the dedicated section for announcements pertaining the Pokémon Showdown! server, Smogon's official simulator since its transition from Pokémon Online in July of 2012. Showdown is browser based, so you can just click that link and you're off! Here you can try your skills against experts and casual players alike in one of the many formats on offer. You can also just kick back and chat about anything from Pokémon to your favorite TV show, if that tickles your fancy. However make sure to read the rules and the FAQ first to avoid getting on the bad side of one of our moderators. The mods are all super chill guys and gals so as long as you follow those rules and make sure to be friendly and light-hearted (although maybe not too friendly), you should be fine.
The main Wi-Fi forum deals with nearly everything about the game cartridges, aside from in-game discussion. The bulk of the forum is dedicated to users' trade and giveaway threads where you can trade or receive Pokémon from the owners of the thread after swapping friend codes. A major function of the Wi-Fi forum is research on the inner-workings of the cartridge games, including RNG (random number generator). The Wi-Fi forum has some very specific rules for posting and reporting, so be absolutely sure to read the rules before posting.
Orange Islands is the forum where everything non-competitive about Pokémon is discussed. This is a more relaxed board, where you're free to share your Pokémon stories in the appropriate threads. In addition to these threads, there are numerous in-game challenges such as the Nuzlocke Challenge and Scramble Challenge, and a smattering of Let's Play threads. Want to get even more involved? A large part of Orange Islands culture is located not on Smogon, but on the #oi IRC channel.
Contributions & Corrections is where the work for the competitive analyses and articles you see on-site gets done. Analyses can be reserved in various index threads scattered throughout the various analysis subforums. Analyses can be written for any official Smogon tier and the current VGC season. Once an analysis is reserved, a bullet point outline of the analysis should be posted, which will then be reviewed by the Quality Control team and eventually written up for the Grammar-Prose team to check over. After that is all done, your analysis will appear on-site! More on formatting your analysis can be found here. We are always looking for writers with new and innovative sets to post; it's also a great way to improve your English, for foreign speakers.
Articles and letters (letters are basically shorter and slightly more colloquial versions of articles) can be reserved and worked on in their respective subforum. Are you an expert on a specific strategy? Can you analyze the game well or give tips on how to play it? These are the types of ideas we want for articles and letters. These will also go on-site, usually under the "Articles" section, though some letters will appear in various tier hubs. There is a rigorous process for getting articles and letters on-site; quality over quantity is taken very seriously, but quality is usually something that can be fixed, so long as it isn't too bad. Check out #C&C and #grammar on the SynIRC network if you have any other questions.
Smogon has several webzines that are host to tons of different topical content. The Smog is the most popular, Smogon and Pokemon in general as its focal points. Writers write on just about anything as long as it is relevant to Pokemon or Smogon and is, most importantly, entertaining! The Player, while not under Participate, covers Pokemon Showdown! related content. The Competitor aims to keep the masses updated on the latest in Smogon Tournament news coverage, mostly through interviews with successful tournament participants.The Social Media portion of the site encompasses the Facebook and Twitter pages, which are responsible for posting updates about various events on Smogon in addition to directly addressing the public, as well as for obtaining and distributing Pokémon that are given away on the two pages. If you're interested in any of these things, contact darkie, tennisace, or Hollywood. They gladly accept any and all suggestions and Pokémon donations.
In addition to the Facebook and Twitter pages, the Smogon Youtube and Twitch pages are where videos relating to Smogon are published, which include, among other things, Smogcasts and narrated battle replays. The Smogcast is a live stream where few Smogonites come together to talk about one of Smogon's Official Metagames in each cast. The Smogcast goes over many different aspects of a metagame, some of which include: Suspect Pokémon, Team Building, Underrated Threats, and more. The main channel for this is #smogcast, where the streams are organized and talked about. If you're interested in Smogcasts, you should definitely contact Ace Emerald, who organizes them.
Artists unite! Smeargle's Studio is home to all things artsy, from individually painted or created digital art threads to the creation of unique Pokémon sprites and banners. Some of the most popular threads are community art projects that can range from the creation of a deck of Pokémon-themed cards to a Secret Santa art gift exchange. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the regular contests that are hosted within the forum, the most popular being the Monthly Art Contest. If you're an artist, be sure to set up an individual art thread. Make sure your thread has at least 3 pieces of your own, original art before posting it. Smogon is always looking for great art, and there are a lot of avenues outside of the Studio for our artists to venture into, so keep an open mind when posting your thread! Also be sure to visit #smeargle on IRC to chat about all things Smogon art.
The Create-A-Pokémon Project project is entirely unique from anything you will find on the internet. As a community, it creates a Pokémon by voting on every single aspect of its being, from typing to Pokedex entries. But the best part is that it's a competitive project; our end products are included in Pokémon Showdown and can be used in live battles! If you're interested in becoming involved in CAP, you'll want to check out our Newcomer's Guide and Mission Statement. CAP is entirely public, so head on over and vote whenever you like. Make sure you read the rules at the start of each thread, and you'll be creating Pokémon like a pro!
Congregation of the Masses is a serious forum where users debate over topics and usually end up thinking lesser of the opposing party. this is where threats about politics or social issues will be found. It can seem quite dry, but it becomes fiery with ease. The Sports Arena subforum is for topics dealing directly with sports; likewise, the Great Library is for anything from American cartoons to manga, and music to video games. It flies as long as it's not about Pokemon.
Its sister forum, Firebot, is a long standing forum located in the seedy underbelly of Smogon. Its culture has long-developed over its established users throughout the ages. The humor is very unique to any other part of the forum, because the community there is particularly ruthless. If you post like a mongoloid, you will be treated like a mongoloid. For this reason, you are encouraged to lurk for a time to fully understand the goings on - this applies to every section on the forum but is especially worth noting here.
Circus Maximus is a lax section, compared to other, more serious aspects of the site, such as C&C and The Smog, where users generally relax. Circus is predominantly filled with games of mafia and variations thereof, though other non-Pokémon related leisure activities and games are held, such as Yu-Gi-Oh and Chess. Role-playing games and formats can also be experimented and are hosted, such as Philosopher's Stone War. With the exception of no-outside-communication mafia games, pretty much all Circus-related activities are held in various IRC channels, usually stated in each game's respective original post. To get an understanding of how the mafia system works, all users are required to read the Circus Maximus rules.

Panik, Duffy lead Giants' big day on offense
Infielders collect three hits each; Cain allows three runs in four innings
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Emerging from a spring hitting hiatus, Joe Panik went 3-for-3 and scored three runs Sunday to help the Giants defeat a Los Angeles Dodgers split squad, 11-9, in a Cactus League game.
Panik, who lifted his batting average from .154 to .200, doubled and scored in the first inning to open the Giants' scoring. He also doubled and scored in the fifth, when San Francisco's three-run outburst broke 3-3 tie, and singled before scoring in the sixth.

Is there a way to get the "address" of an object? This is for demonstration purposes, I know this is a bad idea in general and if it works at all then as
unsafe code. The project is tuned to allow unsafe code. However my tries were unsuccessful. The code I have so far is not compiling:
unsafe static String AddressOf(Object o)
void* p = &o;
return String.Format("{0}", new IntPtr(p));
Error: Cannot take the address of, get the size of, or declare a pointer to a managed type ('object')
Even if The memory address cannot be retrieven, then maybe a memory slot or something else showing the location of that object.
Background: my intention is to make some demo showing the differences between passing by value or by reference and dump the location of these objects.
I finally abandonned the idea of doing it from within the .NET program itself. Seems not to lead to any good solution. Even if it had worked it would have cluttered the code so much that you can barely explain the result in simple ways and use it for some demo purpose. I would now like to do it with a good (meaning CLR aware) debugger in the way that is adviced in the answer below.
Debugging can be improved inside VS by activating an option in the configuration settings
Enable Unmanaged Debugging, unfortunately not available in the free express edition of visual studio (the only version I have at home right now). Is there a way to make
Enable Unmanaged Debugging work manually?
After struggling a bit I installed Debugging Tools for Windows which provided me the WinDbg. Great tool I used years ago for driver development. Now it's part of a huge package. I tried to follow the instructions to get the SOS.DLL way working without success. I cannot even find this DLL. Even this solution seems to require the
Enable Unmanaged Debugging flag in the project...
