Thursday, May 12, 2005 - COLLEGE STATION - The world of veterinary medicine is changing faster than at any time in its history, Bonnie Beaver, professor of veterinary medicine and current president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, said Thursday during commencement ceremonies at Texas A&M University.
Beaver, addressing the 123 graduates who received their degrees from the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, said "The profession is changing faster than ever, and let me give you an example. A high school counselor told me that 'girls could not become veterinarians.' I became one of two women in my veterinary class and had job offers of significantly less money than my male colleagues were offered.
"Since then, I have received invitations to present seminars around the world and on 9-11, I watched CNN and the BBC from a hotel room in Rio de Janeiro where I was presenting a paper on dog bite prevention. Last July, the little girl from rural Minnesota who was told she couldn't be a veterinarian became president of the American Veterinary Medical Association. The profession is changing."
Beaver said that bioterrorism will be a challenge for the class of 2005.
"After a simulation exercise of the introduction of foot and mouth disease, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Dr. Ann Venimin said, 'We know that veterinarians will be among the first responders to acts of bioterrorism,'" Beaver noted.
"Not only will we be dependent on first responders to control the outbreak, we will be very dependent on veterinarians to educate the public about what is going on. Back in the 'dark ages' we would roll our eyes at the mere mention of a foreign animal disease - it only existed in some other world.
"Now that other world may be used against us."
Among the 123 graduates receiving diplomas was Pat Ryan, a Houston resident who at age 57 is the oldest person ever in Texas to receive a veterinary medicine degree. Ryan plans to work at a small animal clinic in Houston.
Beaver said the bond between humans and animals will always be a strong one, but even it undergoes changes.
"The human-animal bond is a double-edged sword," she believes.
"Animals are often called family members, and that of course attracts vultures who want to make owners into 'guardians' and others who want to sue for the intangibles like emotional distress.
"Until that owner is willing to pay the veterinarian an amount equal to that paid a surgeon, anesthesiologist and hospital for a human hysterectomy, an animal is really not an equal. While there are owners who are willing to pay anything for their animal, most put limits on their spending.
"Our profession, and thus our clients, cannot afford the malpractice insurance premiums that our physician colleagues have to spend which result from unrealistic legal settlements.
"We are a small profession," she added.
"Every veterinarian in the United States could fit into Kyle Field with seats left over. But that makes every voice important."

Video: Bakflip F1 vs other Bakflips
Product Features:
The BAKFlip F1 Tonneau Cover ® (Heavy Duty) Tonneau Cover / Truck Bed Cover has all of the great good looks and functionality of the BAKFlip G2 (Generation 2) Model but in a Heavy Duty / OEM (Factory) Quality version as this cover's outer surfaces are Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP)! FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer) provides unparalleled impact resistance while the aluminum surfaces underside the cover ensures absolute structural integrity! The BAKFlip F1 Tonneau Cover also has a higher density EPS core than the G2, has superior impact resistance, retains less heat with some refinements in the operating components and their fit and finish under the cover. The cover looks very similar (if not almost identical) to the G2, but the difference is the FRP on the outer panels. These outer panels come in a UV protected black finish and provide superior performance in extreme weather and a 3 year factory warranty!
Each panel is locked into place with latches and can easily be opened with the pull cable.
The HD can be installed in less than an hour without drilling into the truck bed.
Fold the cover up to the cab for full-bed access. Rubber bumpers protect the cab from impacts.
Weather resistant and extremely durable seals made of EPDM. Flush hinges added for a "No-Profile" look.
The rails collect and guide water to the front of the bed where it is emptied through drainage tubes.
Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer top panel with a textured finish and a powder-coated aluminum bottom.
Bakflip F1 Reviews
Q. Is this cover waterproof?
A. No cover is 100% waterproof, but the Bakflip covers have a patented water drainage system that works great. Water flows down a track and out drainage tubes.
Q. Does this cover lock?
A. The cover requires the tailgate to be opened first. So, if your tailgate is locked, the bed of the truck is secure.
Q. Can I stand on this cover?
A. This cover is rated to hold 500 lbs evenly distributed across the cover. But, if you want to stand on it, we recommend that you fold it up twice to where all panels are stacked behind the cab. This will give you an excellent platform.
Q. How long does it take to install?
A. Standard installation usually only takes 30 minutes to an hour. However, the installation will vary depending on the person and the truck.
Q. Is this cover easy to remove?
A. Yes, you can remove the panels quickly with no tools. But most truck owners find they don't need to remove it since they can fold and secure it against the cab.
Q. Can this cover be painted?
A. No, there is a hair cell textured finish that will not accept paint well.
All of the Bakflip Tonneau Covers install the exact same way - the G2, HD, and the F1. Now depending on what truck you drive, installations will vary. Generally speaking, a Bakflip installation will take around 30-40 minutes. PJ the Install Specialist shows us how to install the Bakflip tonneau covers.

BAK Industries produces some of the most popular hard tonneau covers in the world and they build tonneau covers meant for the real world. Every BAK tonneau cover is manufactured from solid, heavy duty materials, and attention to detail and quality are top priority. In addition, BAK tonneau covers are manufacturered right here in the United States from materials produced in the USA!

Ok another question our house does not have soffits, how far do I put the insulation near the overhang?»imgur.com/GYRY5g5
In the soffit areas go below the existing insulation. Above the bedroom area would ideally be insulated as well. Be a difficult area to put batts in, perhaps blown in cellulose.
That's the way I read into it as well, no vents.
In the soffit areas go below the existing insulation.
Reference Erietech's last illustration where he denotes "crawl space insulation". The two lines he drew for that insulation and rafter insulation bisect in a soffit area. I suggested taking his rafter insulation below the top of the crawl space insulation into the soffit area.If he had soffit vents he would want to install insulation channels first before insulating. No vents so moot point, filling in any infiltration area with insulation is ideal.

Smashed fried potatoes pair well with creamy ranch dipping sauce. (MCT Photo / September 11, 2012) |
Take everything you love about a french fry — that crisp, golden-brown crust enveloping an oh, so fluffy interior — and flatten it.
In fact, go ahead and smash it.
Tricks to the perfect smash
The kind of potato makes a difference when it comes to texture. Depending on the type, the fries might be a little more creamy (waxy and new potatoes) or more fluffy (banana fingerlings, blue or purple potatoes).
Use a fork to smash, instead of something flat. A fork will give the potatoes a more textured surface — ridges and valleys — and those little crispy bits.
Where French fries are typically fried twice — once at a lower temperature to blanch, then again at a higher temp to crisp — smashed fries are boiled first and fried only once.
You can boil the potatoes up to a few days in advance, then refrigerate them until you're ready to fry.
A neutral oil — canola, vegetable or peanut — works just fine for frying, bringing out the rich flavor of the potatoes themselves. But feel free to be inventive. Lard is magical, and bacon fat is downright divine. And if you can find duck fat, I promise you'll never want to fry in any other fat again.
Smashed fries
Total time: 1 hour
Servings: 6 to 8
Note: For additional flavor, substitute duck fat, lard or bacon fat for the frying oil. Duck fat is available at select gourmet and cooking stores, as well as online.
2 pounds fingerling or very small new potatoes
2 quarts water
2 tablespoons salt, plus more for seasoning
Canola or vegetable oil, for frying
Place the potatoes, water and salt in a large, heavy bottom saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a knife, 15 to 20 minutes more.
Drain the potatoes and set aside until cool enough to handle. (The recipe can be prepared to this point up to three days in advance; refrigerate the potatoes until needed, then continue with the recipe.)
Using a fork, gently smash the potatoes. The thicker the smashed potatoes, the fluffier the fries; conversely, the flatter the potatoes, the more crisp the fries. Set the smashed potatoes aside while you heat the oil.

Servings: 6 to 8 servings
Cook Time: 55 min
Difficulty: Easy
3 cups, shredded frozen hash browns, thawed and drained
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
3 large eggs, beaten
1 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup diced cooked ham
1/2 cup diced green onions
1 cup shredded Cheddar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Gently press the drained hash browns between paper towels to dry them as best as possible. In a 9-inch pie plate, toss the hash browns with the melted butter into the plate. Press them into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and starting to crisp.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. When the hash brown crust is ready pour the egg mixture over it and return to the oven.
Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 30 minutes until the quiche is light golden brown on top and puffed.

I guess it is finally time I come out of the closet. If you don't know me personally, you may not know this about me: I am a supporter of people living honestly, openly and freely as homosexuals. I am a supporter of gay rights.
I regret that some of you will put down the paper or click to something new and never read me again. But, please, give me just a moment to explain my opinion. Not because I want to try to change yours but simply because I don't want you to change everything you thought you knew about me.
Don't judge me on this one issue. If you've liked one thing I've written, agreed with me on one issue, or found any of my past thoughts or opinions interesting or reasonable enough to read even if you didn't agree, I ask that you let me simply share.
I know I can't defend my position Biblically and I'm not going to try. I just know Jesus dined with outcasts regularly, so if you've considered gays outcasts, I'm asking you to consider the possibility that Jesus would've been sitting at dinner with them at some point in his travels.
I realize many folks are tired of hearing about this topic, especially this week when media and the sports world is swirling with the news of the first openly gay male athlete in a major U.S. professional team sport. You have to admit, it's pretty big news. It isn't overreaching to compare Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson, although Robinson obviously couldn't hide who he was and dodge prejudice simply by keeping silent.
That's what Jason Collins did for 12 years in the NBA. He was so far back in the closet that his own twin brother, another NBA player, didn't even know. But his aunt, a superior court judge who was the first relative he told, simply answered, "I've known you were gay for years."
Collins wrote in a Sports Illustrated article, "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay." But I also found it interesting that he said, "My parents instilled Christian values in me. They taught Sunday school, and I enjoyed lending a hand. I take the teachings of Jesus seriously, particularly the ones that touch on tolerance and understanding."
The fact that a national sports figure still playing the game came out of the closet is big news but it's also big news that he embraces a Christian world view, because often those who share that world view don't embrace him. To be honest, I don't think being gay is a choice. That's why I decided long ago I couldn't judge the sexual orientation of another person. If the world flipped upside down and I woke up one morning being told I had no choice but to love women and find them sexually attractive, I'd argue against that. I cherish my friendships with women and I think women are beautiful to look at. But I am not interested sexually and would make a very poor lesbian. So, I can only imagine what it is like to be lesbian or be a gay male and be told, "You are supposed to like that."
Try putting yourself in that upside down world and see how it feels.
I've met some wonderful people who are gay and love Jesus and follow him, better than I do most days. There are many heterosexuals who reject Jesus, reject Christianity, and ridicule Christians for their beliefs. Who do you share the most basic commonality with between those two groups of people? Your souls are in sync.
Who are you taught to love? Those who hate or persecute you. What about those who you hate and persecute? It stands to reason that you are actually supposed to love them, as well.
Maybe you know a gay person but have still thought of them as different from you, possibly lesser than you. That's why they're simply asking for equal rights. They are simply asking to be included in "Love one another" or "love them as you are loved." You don't need a court decision to tell you that. Jesus told you that.
Finally, one of my greatest interests has become suicide prevention. It is a motivation I wake up with every day that empowers me to deal with the trauma of losing my daughter to suicide. Statistics vary, but in U.S. surveys, lesbian and gay adolescents and adults have two to six times higher rates of reported suicide attempts compared to comparable straight people.
My daughter, a boy-crazy romantic, would jump into the fray when someone else was bullied about their sexual orientation. Last May when an amendment supporting gay rights failed on the North Carolina ballot, her Facebook page was filled with friends saying, "Joc, you'd be so mad right now!" I realized then that I probably wouldn't stand by publicly silent for much longer. I'd always been privately supportive but I knew I'd eventually come out of the closet in her honor and support the friends she supported, support my own gay friends.
If my public acceptance saves one life, it is worth it to me. I'd rather lose a reader.
I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm just trying to be accepted for who I am and what I really think and feel. Isn't that what everyone wants?

I kind of love it! The idea of a smooth ride like that - possibly even a "flying" coaster (even though I hate them) to make it feel like you are soaring around with them.... Good idea!
My friend and I had an idea for a new roller coaster type ride that we thought would be fantastic to go in Disney World. We thought maybe even in Wonders of Life. If you have not seen Wall-E, or do not know what song "Define Dancing" is, please watch this YouTube clip before continuing on.
Our goal for this roller coaster is not brute force or insane speed like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster or Top Thrill Dragster from Cedar Point. This would actually be a very elegant roller coaster with swooping curves and one, maybe two, inversions, and not the loud, obnoxious (for lack of a better term), super-thrill roller coaster, set to the music "Define Dancing."
It would be a dark ride of course and you'd be dancing with Wall-E and Eve around the Axiom. Granted it's what some would dub "Pixarification," but I truly believe that the Define Dancing scene is one of the single greatest individual scenes that Disney, or Pixar, has ever created. What does everyone think? Go ahead and shoot it down if you like, I don't mind.

If Wall-E had been a little more popular i could have seen it happening.
With no inversions it could be an awesome ride for some of the smaller folk.
like a modern day peter pan's flight
I don't know that this would really have the same impact as just a dark ride as it would a dark coaster.

They are a cool concept - but scare the **** out of me.
The cars are suspended below the track and the passengers are "hanging" with their backs parrellel to the track -- so you feel like you are "flying". I think sea world has one now that is like the Sting Ray or something...

'Looking forward to chilly nights this winter in front of a roaring fire in the fireplace at home? Well you may have to settle for a DVD of that fire. If the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (you know, the folks that brought us Spare the Air Days) has its' way, it'll be illegal to use residential fireplaces on nights with poor air quality. They estimate that there may be up to twenty such nights a year. By the way, there are already similar fire bans in Mill Valley, Sacramento County, and parts of the San Joaquin Valley. In fact, last year, neighbor ratted out neighbor in the San Joaquin Valley, where the first fine is 50 bucks. Subsequent fines can go up to a grand. In Mill Valley you'll get dinged $150 for a first-time violation. In some parts of the state you can skip the fine by attending, and I'm not making this up, a two hour "residential wood-burning compliance school." Insert your fave traffic school joke here. Sheesh.
Oh, before I forget, which I'm doing more and more lately, here's today's election day trivia question:
Q: What year was the first national election held on the same date in every state?
A: 1848, when old Zach Taylor was elected to the White House.
Heads up: A section of Howard Street in San Francisco will be closed again this year, in order to accommodate another one of Larry Ellison's little block parties. Howard between Third and Fourth Streets will be closed starting 8p Thursday 11/8, and won't reopen until 6a on November 17. Oracle's big OpenWorld conference will already occupy all three halls of the Moscone Complex. Apparently that's not enough space for the 45,000 people planning to attend, so they'll need to set up tents on Howard. Temporary street striping and detour signs will help drivers in the area. The whole thing went pretty smoothly last year, the first year they closed Howard. They're gestimating that the whole deal will bring in about 80 million dollars into San Francisco.
The beavers of Martinez are fast becoming a tourist attraction. A clan of the semiaquatic herbivorous rodents, including two parents, and two youngsters, have become so popular that they're drawing crowds of school kids to the shores of Alhambra creek to watch the beavers build their dam, which is progressing quite nicely. Perhaps too nicely. Since last winter, the dam has grown from three to six feet in height. The problem: The creek is part of a flood control plan. Nearby homeowners are concerned, and understadably so, that if the dam isn't removed, the winter rains might bring flooding to the area. Sure, the quick fix would be to tear down the dam and remove the beavers. But beavers are territorial, so they'd probably be back, and in full construction mode again. The Martinez City Council is mulling over a recommendation to remove the dam and humanely, to steal a favorite Tony Soprano term, "depredate" the critters. I say give the beavers at least a couple of chances to stay away before taking such drastic measures. As Councilman Mark Ross said "It's hard to believe that the hometown of John Muir can't come up with a better way than killing the beavers." Hear hear.

Testing Blood Lactate Threshold
June 2, 2008, 11:01 pm / Categories: Adventure
Fitness in the Blood
The Gear Junkie goes under the needle for a Blood Lactate Test
By STEPHEN REGENOLD
published June 3, 2008
A vein in my forehead is about to burst. Sweat streams off my nose. I'm on a stationary bike, hooked to cords and monitors, a hamster on a wheel, legs spinning, lungs gasping, heart-rate racing to 168 beats per minute—dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit—and climbing higher still.
"Come on, let's hit 170!" shouts Ben Popp, founder of Endurance Athlete, a fitness-training company in St. Paul.
My fingertip is bloody, perforated already with a half-dozen pricks. My head is woozy. Then the three-minute session ends. "OK, give me that finger," says Popp, grabbing my wrist, a medical needle in hand.
Popp is searching for my blood lactate threshold, a point where lactic acid floods muscle cells too fast for the body to metabolize the excess. This threshold is where athletes "feel the burn," a physiological parameter at which speed, power and efficiency start to suffer under the pain of anaerobic stress.
Professional athletes, notably Nordic skiers and endurance-sports competitors, have sought blood lactate tests for more than a decade. Alongside fitness identifiers such as body mass index, VO2 max (aerobic capacity), heart rate and body composition tests, a blood lactate profile helps prescribe workout regimens individualized for the physiological makeup and fitness level of each athlete on a roster.
Indeed, blood lactate readings can distill the efficiency of exercise to a cellular level, providing a peek at the inner workings of millions of muscle cells, where oxygen, enzymes, glycogen, lactic acid and other infinitesimals mix to pound out movement and power. Trainers and coaches take test results and apply them to heart-rate-based workouts structured for maximum physical efficiency.
"It's about training smarter, not harder," said Popp, a former semi-pro skier who coached college athletes for five seasons before founding Endurance Athlete in 2001. "The goal with any workout should be to do the minimal amount of work possible to elicit the physiological response that you need to make a difference."
With such claims, blood lactate tests are just now entering the mainstream fitness vernacular. Popp says everyday exercisers, recreational athletes and dieters can benefit from the precise fitness plans generated by a lactate profile.
"People who work 50 or 60 hours a week and have just a few hours for fitness can increase their productivity," Popp added.
Piotr Bednarski, founder of the personal-training company Go! Training in Minneapolis, Minn., said lactate tests help athletes to ensure that they are not overdoing it. "Some citizen athletes train too hard, which is detrimental," Bednarski said. "I can monitor somewhat scientifically when people need to cut back, or when performance is suffering."
At the pro level, Bednarski offered Caitlin Compton, a 27-year-old U.S. Biathlon Team skier, as example: "Compton never got sick, never showed signs of stress," Bednarski said. "But by analyzing her lactate level I could see when she was overworked and in need of a break from training."
Bednarski, who trains skiers, runners, mountain bikers and triathletes, measures lactate levels in the field, pricking a finger after a short session then plunking a drop of blood onto a handheld analyzer. He gets an instant read on lactate levels in the blood. Then, based on a client's past lactate levels, Bednarski can better formulate a workout regimen.
"If a client runs a 6:20 mile at a certain lactate level, then a month later it's dramatically different, that gives me something concrete to work with," Bednarski said.
But a lactate profile is just one piece of the fitness puzzle, Bednarski said. Like any physiologic test, each person brings unique anatomical factors and life circumstances that are weighed against the cold numbers.
"A lactate profile is simply a physiological descriptor like height and weight," said George Brooks, an exercise physiologist and professor of integrative biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Brooks, an expert in the field since the 1970s, is known for studies that identified lactic acid as a cellular fuel, not just a waste product, as it was historically seen.
Handheld blood monitors now sell for $250 or less, putting lactate testing in the realm of the common exerciser. But Brooks said the area of study is complex and ever-developing. "There's no silver bullet test," he said. "You do a dietary assessment, body composition, max heart rate, and lactate—it's all part of an overall look at the athlete."
Dr. Shannon Sovndal, founder of Thrive HFM, a training company for athletes in Boulder, Colo., administers blood-based tests to only 20 percent of his clients. He said there is a cachet developing around knowing your lactate level. "For some recreational athletes it's another bell or whistle," he said.
Sovndal prefers to measure physical output with a power meter on a bike and with heart rate checks in the field. "The [blood analysis] lab tests are useful for the elite athletes who follow a precise training plan," he said.
Other coaches apply the test more liberally. Reid Lutter, program director for the Minnesota Valley Ski Team, said members as young as 18 undergo frequent lactate tests. "When these kids are training 500 or 600 hours a year, we want to make sure they are making the best use of their time," he said. "Lactate levels are one indicator."
For Chad Giese, a former pro skier who's long promoted training based on lactate levels, blood readings dictated his monthly, weekly or even daily interval workout regimens. Giese, 31, sometimes trained with a lactate monitor in his water-bottle belt. He'd ski a lap or do an interval, then stop to prick a finger. "It was an instant picture that let me train at my most optimal level," he said.
My test with Endurance Athlete—a $200 procedure performed over two hours on a Thursday evening—established a framework for Popp to draw up a personal fitness plan. He pushed me at six increasingly difficult levels on a bike and then a treadmill, pricking my finger to take blood after each session.
From there, Popp charted my lactate levels alongside my heart rate. A graph slowly began to develop, revealing a profile of where my cells began to flood with excess lactate.
Popp identified my lactic threshold as corresponding with a heart rate intensity of about 154 beats per minute. He noted a "dead zone" around 140 to 147 beats per minute where training for me is highly inefficient.
I left with a general idea of my physical shape. Two days later, Popp e-mailed me a personalized fitness plan:
"Based on our tests, you are a generally fit guy," the plan's introduction read. "You are slow compared to a bike racer, but you aren't a bike racer. You are slow compared to a 5k runner, but you aren't a 5k runner. You are fit for what you do—ultras, orienteering, etc. With some guided training and planning you will see great improvements in your competitive results."
Sounded all good to me.
(Stephen Regenold writes The Gear Junkie column for eleven U.S. newspapers; see www.THEGEARJUNKIE.com for video gear reviews, a daily blog, and an archive of Regenold's work.)
Lactate "threshold" is an old school concept that has been debunked in the past few years. Lactic acid does not cause the burn and it doesn't even really exist in the body (immediately converts to lactate); lactate is an energy source not something to be feared. At best, lactate measurements are secondary indicators of what is actually going on in the muscles. It is highly debatable if these blood tests (particularly when administered via pin pricks every few minutes instead of continuously during the workout) are any more valuable than simply monitoring breathing and heart rate (power is great for cyclists). Probably for 99% of serious athletes, the lactate testing is a waste of money.
I'd beg to differ. I work with numerous professional athletes as well as leading researchers and coaches in the US, all who use lactate testing to monitor athlete progress and physiological response. While some of what you mention is semantics (yes we do have lactate dehydrogenase that allows lactate to cross into the cells mitochondria and act as a fuel for instance), the results from many years of testing and thus results have shown to be very accurate and helpful to athletes and their coaches.
But remember to much of anything can be painful. Just like starting to run…. push to hard and go to fast or to far and you will pay the price. Lactic threshold is just the point when you body can't deal with what is going on and tells you to slow down. If I was serious about training for competition I would like to know at what point I meet this threshold. With this knowledge I could design a work out to take me past it. Isn't that the point in training?
Ok, the issue here is that he says that lactate threshold testing is looking for lactic acid build up in the BLOOD. It is accurate, and it does work. All of the pro's use it and so do amateur athletes.
This is and outstanding scientific analysis that give merit to lactate testing and supports that the variables present do make it inaccurate, but it IS a better standard than heartrate
Just a question…I had my blood lactate tested again today as a follow up and the anomaly that occured in my first test happened again…my level dropped an entire mmol during the middle of the test, then the subsequent readings progressed as normal again to the end of the test, raising steadily as I increased my wattage on a computrainer. Can anyone explain why this would happen or what it means?

You can ask for code to be executed each time Emacs loads a library,
by using the variable after-load-functions
This abnormal hook is run after loading a file. Each function in the hook is called with a single argument, the absolute filename of the file that was just loaded.
If you want code to be executed when a particular library is
loaded, use the function eval-after-load
This function arranges to evaluate form at the end of loading the file library, each time library is loaded. If library is already loaded, it evaluates form right away. Don't forget to quote form!
You don't need to give a directory or extension in the file name library. Normally, you just give a bare file name, like this:
(eval-after-load "edebug" '(def-edebug-spec c-point t))To restrict which files can trigger the evaluation, include a directory or an extension or both in library. Only a file whose absolute true name (i.e., the name with all symbolic links chased out) matches all the given name components will match. In the following example, my_inst.elc or my_inst.elc.gz in some directory
will trigger the evaluation, but not my_inst.el:(eval-after-load "foo/bar/my_inst.elc" ...)library can also be a feature (i.e., a symbol), in which case form is evaluated at the end of any file where
is called.An error in form does not undo the load, but does prevent execution of the rest of form.
Normally, well-designed Lisp programs should not use
. If you need to examine and set the variables
defined in another library (those meant for outside use), you can do
it immediately—there is no need to wait until the library is loaded.
If you need to call functions defined by that library, you should load
the library, preferably with require
(see Named Features).
This variable stores an alist built by
, containing the expressions to evaluate when certain libraries are loaded. Each element looks like this:(regexp-or-feature forms...)The key regexp-or-feature is either a regular expression or a symbol, and the value is a list of forms. The forms are evaluated when the key matches the absolute true name or feature name of the library being loaded.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Plow Drivers Work to Clear Residential Roads, But Who Gets Dug Out First?By Dave Franzman , Reporter
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Cedar Rapids Streets crews expected to have every residential street plowed at least once by 7 or 8 o'clock Wednesday evening. But some residents still wonder who gets plowed out first and why.
As usual, plows in Cedar Rapids concentrated on the main roads first—especially the ones marked as "emergency snow routes." The city extended the snow emergency until noon Thursday. That means people parking on the marked routes need to move vehicles until then. After clearing the main roads, crews will usually tackle side streets with hills and other slick spots next. But after that, it's up to the individual plow driver to run the residential routes in any order. Some drivers didn't move vehicles off the marked snow routes right away. But Megan Lewis was one exception. "It was important for us to get up early this morning (and move the car) so they can gets those streets plowed. Not only that, but it makes it easier to park later on," Lewis said. With no residential snow emergency in effect, residents weren't required to move vehicles to the "odd" or "even" sides of the streets. But streets crews were hoping for a little voluntary cooperation to help the plows clear out side streets earlier. One supervisor said complaints were relatively few. But some people always wonder why their area appears to be last on the list. Several neighbors in an area just off Highway 30 say that's a common feeling in their neighborhood. But not everyone feels that strongly that it's a problem. One resident, Ken Carroll, said "they eventually get here and they do a good job. We don't really make a big deal about it."

Pixar Week: Toy Story And Joss Whedon
- 06.19.12
When you think about Joss Whedon, your mind might think of Firefly, The Avengers or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But did you know that he was one of the writers on the Disney / Pixar classic, Toy Story?
I saw Toy Story in the theater when it was released in 1995 and saw it a few times once it was on DVD. I enjoyed the movie but didn't pay a lot of attention to the credits. I introduced my daughter to the Toy Story movies and she fell in love with them. I've seen all three movies more times than I can count now with her. It was on one of those viewings that I noticed that my favorite writer / director was one of the writers on the original Toy Story.
Joss Whedon is known for writing interesting characters. This makes me wonder how much of Woody, Buzz and the other toy's personalities was from his imagination. It gave me a new perspective to this classic movie and lets me see Toy Story with new eyes, even though I had seen it many times before.
It's hard to know what parts of Toy Story may have come from the mind of Whedon since there were several other writers. To me, Woody yelling at Buzz, "You are a toy!" seems like it could have been written by Joss. As well as Buzz's response, "You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity."
There are also great moments in Toy Story that have a Whedon-ish feel to them. One that pops into my mind is the scene where Buzz is forced to take part in a tea party and convinces himself that he is Mrs. Nesbitt as he deals with the revelation that he is, in fact, a toy.
Are there any scenes or lines in Toy Story that screams Joss Whedon to you?

Evil Under the Sun is a 1982 British mystery film based on the 1941 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (November 2012) |
In the prologue, a hiker reports finding a dead woman on the Yorkshire moors to local police, who identify the strangulation victim as Alice Ruber.
Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Peter Ustinov) is asked to check out a blue-hued diamond belonging to Sir Horace Blatt (Colin Blakely), a millionaire industrialist. Poirot informs Blatt the jewel is fake. After an affair, Blatt paid US$50,000 for the gift to his fling, now on holiday at an exclusive island resort. Poirot agrees to confront her, and enjoy a holiday of his own, at the former summer palace of the reigning King of Tyrania, now owned by Daphne Castle (Maggie Smith).
- Glamorous actress Arlena Stuart Marshall (Diana Rigg);
- Kenneth Marshall (Denis Quilley), Arlena's husband;
- Linda Marshall (Emily Hone), Kenneth's teenage daughter from an earlier marriage;
- Rex Brewster (Roddy McDowall), a writer and theatre critic (with the airs and pomposity of Noël Coward);
- Odell (James Mason) and Myra Gardener (Sylvia Miles), New York City theatrical producers;
- and Patrick (Nicholas Clay) and Christine Redfern (Jane Birkin), a dashing, handsome young man and his mousy wife.
Arlena emotionally abuses her stepdaughter Linda and flirts with Patrick. Everyone feels sorry for his meek wife Christine, there only because Arlena invited him. Ken turns to his old friend Daphne, who in turn reviles the way that Arlena treats both Ken and Linda. Arlena has caused the Gardeners financial problems by walking out of a major play, and refusing another. Brewster has already spent advanced royalties from his tell-all biography of Arlena.
Early one morning, Arlena takes a paddle-boat alone to Ladder Bay. In search, Patrick brings Myra, and spies a body motionless on the beach. Patrick approaches closer, and announces that Arlena has been strangled. Sir Horace Blatt arrives on his yacht to identify Arlena as his lover and thief.
Kenneth was in his room, typing a reply to his morning mail, heard but not seen by Daphne. Poirot reads both letters and assents. Christine left sketching with Linda in Gull Cove at 11:55 for 12:30 tennis match. Upon hearing the routine noon cannon -- which figures into the storyline -- from the mainland, she waved from the cliff top to Linda swimming below, confirmed by Linda.
Sir Horace argued loudly with Arlena at Ladder Bay, still alive 11:30 according to his yacht crew. She kept the diamond, promising an explanation that evening. Poirot finds the jewel nearby in a grotto. Daphne, atop the cliffs, saw the argument, then chaired a staff meeting at the hotel. Patrick left at 11:30 with Myra, seeing the Blatt yacht coming, and hearing the noon cannon.
Rex Brewster, on pedalo, met Linda entering Gull Cove at 12:00, which she denies until pressured. He reports a bottle flung from the top of a cliff nearly hit him. Odell was seen reading by Daphne and her staff. He claims low water pressure hindered his 12:15 wash before tennis, but nobody admits to bathing at such a time. That night, puzzled by denials of bottle-throwing and bathing, Poirot consults both a previous report to the insurance company that hired him, and the hotel register.
Assembling the suspects together, Poirot lists the main clues which lead to accusing Christine: a bathing cap, bath, bottle, island geography, noon cannon, and resemblance of sunbathers from a distance.
Christine knocked out Arlena and hid her in the nearby grotto. Patrick strangled the helpless Arlena later. Christine posed as Arlena with self-tanning lotion, Arlena's swimsuit and large red hat, to be mis-identified by Patrick. But in the grotto, Poirot smelled Arlena's perfume and found the diamond.
Christine set Linda's watch twenty minutes fast, suggested a swim cap to muffle the noon cannon, and corrected the watch afterward. If Christine had vertigo, she could not have waved from the edge of the cliff. She both tossed out the lotion bottle and bathed off her tan.
Poirot has no proof until he sets a trap for Patrick. He suspects Patrick gave Arlena a paste jewel before, and killed her to protect the theft.
On leaving the hotel, Christine no longer pretends to be a downtrodden spouse. Patrick pays by cheque, signing the "R" in "Redfern" exactly as he did when he wrote the name "Felix Ruber", husband of the prologue's Yorkshire moor victim, on an insurance form, claiming he was observed smoking in a non-smoking train compartment at the time of the Yorkshire murder. Patrick had earlier heard an opera aria by Giuseppe Verdi, and translated the composer name from Italian to "Joe Green", triggering Poirot to remember that "Felix Ruber" is Latin for "Red Fern". Poirot knows photos from British police will show Patrick to be grieving husband Felix.
Lastly, Patrick puts a pipe in his mouth that has never been lit during his stay. When Poirot empties the pipe bowl to reveal the diamond, Patrick punches him. While the Redferns are sent back to the mainland and police, the other guests mock from Blatt's yacht. Poirot, recovering, learns he will be decorated by the King of Tyrania.
The movie was announced to follow the success of Murder on the Orient Express (1974) but ended up taking several years to be made.[1]
The screenplay was written by Anthony Shaffer (who had worked on previous Christie films) and an uncredited Barry Sandler. The adaptation stayed fairly close within the plotlines of Christie's work, but truncated scenes for time constraints, removed minor characters and added certain humorous elements that were not present in the novel. Additionally, the novel is set in Devon, but the film is set on an Adriatic island in the fictional kingdom of "Tyrania" (based on Albania). The character line-up is also slightly different. Whereas the characters of Rosamund Darnley and Mrs. Castle are merged, the characters of Major Barry and Reverend Stephen Lane are omitted, and the female character of Emily Brewster is now a man named Rex Brewster, played by Roddy McDowall.
Costumes for the film were designed by Anthony Powell, who had won an Academy Award for his work in the previous film Death on the Nile.
Ustinov was making his second film appearance as Hercule Poirot, having previously played the Belgian detective in Death on the Nile (1978), with Maggie Smith and Jane Birkin in that cast as well. Denis Quilley and Colin Blakely had appeared in the earlier Brabourne-produced Murder on the Orient Express, with Albert Finney in the starring role. Guy Hamilton had previously directed another Agatha Christie story, The Mirror Crack'd, in 1980.
Filming locations[edit]
The film was shot at Lee International Studios in Wembley, London, and on location in Majorca, Spain. The actual island used was Sa Dragonera, but only for aerial shots. The locations used were the remote Cala Blanca (39°32′12″N 2°24′26″E / 39.536674°N 2.407315°E) as Ladder Bay, and offshore at Sant Elm (39°34′38″N 2°21′02″E / 39.577317°N 2.350656°E) for the South of France, (Sir Horace's boat). Sa Dragonera can be seen in the background from the boat. Cala d'en Monjo (39°31′44.72″N 002°25′50.49″E / 39.5290889°N 2.4306917°E) was used for Daphne's Cove and Hotel. (The hotel was a private estate owned by a German, but was subsequently bought by Majorca Council and demolished to its foundations, which can still be seen today). Gull Cove was a cove on the Formentor Peninsula (Cala en Feliu) (39°55′48.40″N 003°09′48.23″E / 39.9301111°N 3.1633972°E). The other hotel exterior shots were filmed at the Raixa Estate (39°40′50.9628″N 002°40′22.2528″E / 39.680823000°N 2.672848000°E) north of Palma. Finally Poirot boards his boat to the Island from Deiá. The locations were well stitched together to give the appearance of a few locations near each other on a small island, when in reality they are spread across Majorca. It made full use of its location to adequately convey the intricacies of Christie's plot, in which the hotel guests all appear to be at different parts of the island at the time of the murder.
The scenes of the finding of the murdered hiker on moors at the beginning of the film were shot in the Yorkshire Dales, England, with the exterior of the Police Station being the former Literary Institute in Muker, Swaledale.[2]

With high-tech system, Egypt hopes to avoid possible pandemic
Researchers from the Institute's Center for Tropical Research held a workshop on the bird flu virus for Egyptian researchers, vets, and ecologists.
H5N1, also known as avian influenza or bird flu, has apparently found a perfect environment to thrive in Egypt. Since the initial onset of the virus back in 2006, new outbreaks of the flu have occurred every single year, making Egypt one of the world's few endemic countries for the virus, along with Indonesia and Peru. The government, taking the threat of a pandemic seriously, has launched annual vaccination campaigns to mitigate the number of fatalities in Egypt, which made up 55 of the 159 total reported cases according to the World Health Organization.
The amount of data collected by Egyptian veterinary services and bird flu specialists on the ground since 2006 is massive, yet these scientists lack proper technology that could track the virus and identify areas where the virus could potentially strike again.
Three specialists from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) conducted a three-day workshop this week to familiarize Egypt's leading researchers, vets and ecologists with Geographic Information System (GIS), a system designed to capture, manipulate, analyze, merge and present all kinds of geographically referenced data to track the bird flu virus across the country. GIS merges cartography, statistical analysis and database technology and has proven extremely useful in fighting epidemics and pandemics worldwide, giving precious help to epidemiologists who specialize in tracking viruses.

The landlord must begin the eviction process by giving you an appropriate written notice. If you are uncertain whether you have received the appropriate notice, you should obtain legal assistance. If you do not move out by the end of the period stated in the notice, the landlord can begin the legal process by filing a complaint with the court.
After paperwork is filed with the court, you will be served with a copy of the Summons and Complaint. If you are uncertain whether you have been properly serviced, you should contact a legal advisor. You normally will have only five calendar days to file an answer with the court and pay the appropriate fee. The answer forms are available at the EZLegal website or at www.courtinfo.ca.gov/forms. or at the Civil Division of the court. Our fee schedule can be also obtained on this web site.
If you fail to answer the complaint within the allotted time, the plaintiff (landlord) will obtain a default judgment and a writ will issue for possession of the premises. If you answer, the plaintiff will file a Request to Set Case for Trial and the court will mail you notice regarding the trial date.
You should start gathering all the information that relates to your case, including witnesses and paperwork. You will need to bring three copies of each paper with you: one for the judge, one for the plaintiff and one for yourself.
Children are not allowed in the courtroom so do not bring them with you. The court does not provide interpreters for this type of case. If you need an interpreter to help you in court, you must bring one with you. The court also does not provide a Court Reporter and if you desire to have one present, you must make arrangements to hire one yourself.
During the trial, the bailiff will take any exhibits from you and give them to the judge. You will need to speak clearly and only when asked to do so. Be sure you speak to the judge, not to the other party. Do not argue with or interrupt the judge, the other party, or attorney. Each side will be given an opportunity to be heard. Try not to raise your voice but speak in a calm, clear way and do not engage in name-calling or make demeaning comments.
If the court orders judgment against you, the plaintiff will prepare the Judgment – Unlawful Detainer for the court's signature. The plaintiff will also have a Writ of Execution for Possession of Real Property issued by the clerk. This writ will be taken to the Sutter County Sheriff's Department for service upon you and you will have five days to vacate the premises. If you do not move out during this period, the Sheriff will remove you from the property.
If you have any legal questions, you must contact an attorney or do your own research. Landlord and Tenant Clinics are held at California Rural Legal Assistance located at 511 D Street, Marysville, CA 95901, (530) 742-5191.

Craigslist faces new wave of political attacks
A year ago, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark was busy touting e-government, promoting neighborhood social networks, and blogging about squirrel-proofing his bird feeder.
But now the 57-year-old entrepreneur is spending his days in more nerve-wracking pursuits: responding to attacks from ambitious attorneys general, legal threats from antiprostitution advocacy groups that sometimes seem to be actually anti-Craigslist, and critical articles written by journalists employed by the same newspapers that his company is helping to slowly eviscerate.
And now, two sources have told CNET, a congressional committee has asked Newmark to testify at a hearing in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday afternoon on … Read more


text: Memphis May Fire hails from Dallas, Texas, having formed in December 2006 when Chase Ryan (vocals), Kellen McGregor (guitar and vocals), Ryan Bentley (guitar), Austin Radford (bass), and Jeremy Grisham (drums), came together to write songs for an EP. Signed to Trustkill early the following year, on the strength of said eponymous EP (later reissued by the label), the group immediately began to work on new material for a long player, while honing their very intricate blend of hardcore, metal and emo on stage. Their full-length debut, Sleepwalking, arrived on the label in 2009. In 2011, the band signed on with Rise records, where they released their sophomore effort, The Hollow, which saw the band launched to the top of Billboard's U.S. Heatseekers chart.
