Cleats, 3/20/06
No, no, no.
Simply unacceptable.
Simulated gang sign in panel three: also no. Especially no.
Meanwhile, Rex and Troy are getting ready to chow down on wieners!
Ah, it shouldn't be funny, and yet it is.

Cleats, 3/20/06
No, no, no.
Simply unacceptable.
Simulated gang sign in panel three: also no. Especially no.
Meanwhile, Rex and Troy are getting ready to chow down on wieners!
Ah, it shouldn't be funny, and yet it is.
To be fair, now that "Three Six Mafia" have won an Oscar, they must appear to be fair game for all sorts of mainstream "thugs" who want to be "down" with the "ballaz" on the "streets".
Me? I'm "going" to go and "drink" myself a "cup" "of" "tea". Or as we call it on the mean small town streets of A-Train, "hawt leaph jewce".
Maybe I'm the last one to notice, but did everybody see that it's Grab Ass Day again in Foobville?
I thought that was a cute pun myself. But perhaps I'm not one of the cool kids.
MW: speaking of gay subtext, I find this strip infinitely more amusing if I replace any reference to "power walking" with "lesbian sex" (or a crude metaphor referring to the same.)
And as far as FOOB is concerned, I found the reference to "picking up girls" with his daughter a little yucky.
You know, the sad thing about RMMD is that it may very well supposed to be funny, and yet at the same time shouldn't be funny, and yet at the same time is funny anyway.
Yes, yes yes, Josh!
Thank you so much for picking up on the weiner subtext. I read this and thought, "Oh they did NOT just do that."
Who TF is drawing Rex Morgan now? The membership of GLAAD? This is just too funny.
Not just weiners. Growing weiners.
The Cleats strip would've been funnier if she's just silently roll her eyes. And I like cheap puns based on topical subjects, plus I'm not a rap fan, so no "No" from me.
Cheer up, Josh, the woman in the strip seems to agree with you.
FOOB: The next, censored, panel has Elly saying, "Are you insulting our parenting, John?" Punchline, Lynn, punchline!
Candidates for "No" from me: Shoe and Monty. Now, if the male bashing crapola could be redirected to THE Scott Gaines, specifically, in the 3/21 A3G, I'd agree whole heartedly.
Beetle Bailey: Now THAT's a Freudian!
Mutts: It's hard out here for a "peep"… naw, that just sounds like regular rap jargon. Okay, it'll lose pun power alittle, but use the words in the strip… It's hard out here for a "tweet". Nice try, Mib, but…no.
Zits: I don't think the 'angry Jimmy Carter' immitation's working, Pa Zits…
Spiderman: Uh, Not!Spiderman, that's like saying, "I won't let us die, even if it means us dying". Fake SM's stupider than real SM!
When do we get to see Troy deep throating his wiener??
Ball Park Franks…they plump when you cook 'em.
Oh, come now. If Volkswagen can do those commercials*–"Vee-dub!! Representing Deutschland!!"–then anything goes.
Oh, and congrats to Li'l Brucie, Smirking Scourge Of The Lefties. You've not only focused on the VP's drunken shooting incident longer than anyone in "the liberal media," but with this strip you've also settled any debate about your caricature "skills" (Who's that supposed to be? The Joker?), your sense of humor, and your hamfisted straw-man usage. Yeck.
WTF? GT 3/21: The absolute worst illustrations ever.
Rex and Troy are going to be looking for Mac Divot.
Ahhhh, now there was comic.
The gay references in RMMD are the polar opposite of Pacino's line in Godfather 3 – everytime I think they're pulling out, they stick it back in.
Cleats is generally a cute comic, though I admit I haven't read it in a while. The widowed father and his daughter (the one with the glasses) often offers up some touching storylines. This isn't really a funny comic so much as a cute one, and I cut it some slack because it's generally for kids. But, yes, this strip is a groaner.
GT — Yes, Hank (#12), those are the worst illustrations ever. They look like clip-art from a '70s-era PeeChee. Then again, maybe the best way to play defense is to stick your feet in your opponent's armpits (1st panel).
RMMD — "Nevermind the gay sex…well, we'll do that after we finish the round of golf…but what we're really here to discuss is how to get stinkin' freakin' rich from poor kids, Rex."
"How will we do that, Troy? I thought it was about helping kids w/o insurance?"
"Oh, we'll do that, too…but w/o insurance forms and limits, we accept only cash, have no paperwork overhead, and we can charge more per procedure. We'll be swimming in it. Plus, we'll have a lot of hot single dads…um…I mean moms, coming into the office."
"Speaking of swimming…let's get naked and dive into that water hazard, while nobody's looking."
Mallard: Oh, hopping Jesus. Now we're facing a week of joke-free strips canonizing one of the biggest freaking lunatics in Congress. This "maverick conservative," Coburn, is the same guy who protested the airing of Schindler's List on television because of nudity, publicly denounced the Schiavo autopsy because it didn't line up with what he wanted it to be, is so "pro-life" that he advocates executing abortionists, called global warming "just a load of crap," tried to solve a crossword puzzle during the Roberts hearings, and was accused of sterilizing a woman without her consent when he was an OBGYN. What a hero.
Naturally, Tinsley accompanies today's strip with one of his reverse-caricatures that look nothing like the subject.
Oh, yeah, and I forgot this little gem from Saint Coburn:
"The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in every area across this country, and they wield extreme power… That agenda is the greatest threat to our freedom that we face today. Why do you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners? That's a gay agenda."
That and saying that lesbianism is so rampant in Oklahoma schools that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom at a time.
And Mallard complains this guy doesn't get enough attention …
Troy has a scam for bilking the state for treating uninsured kids. It will keep Rex and him in "relish" for years to cum.
Hey, cartoonists! Get your free punchlines here!
Crankshaft: It's hard out here for a gimp.
Dick Tracy: It's hard out here for a perp.
Zits: It's hard out here for a pimple.
RMMD: It's hard out here.
Dr. Troyser Trout's gay pedophilia weiner is plumping up as he tells "life partner" Rex about his plan for luring little boys to his clinic for free rectal colonoscopies with his own trouser scope.
#2 – It is indeed – and the "picking up girls" reference does make one want to report FOOB to the Canadian child protection people.
Did anyone else notice that the third powerwalker in "Mary Worth" is about 12 feet tall?
GT: The first panel shows us why GT's "artist" normally has someone talk about the action, rather than trying to show it. But the guy with the fur collar/feather boa in the third panel has been in crowd scenes before. I'm pretty sure it's clip art. or, in GT's case, clip "art."
Further proof of the inversion of reality: Today Mallard says he's "not much to look at," but Tom Coburn actually has an almost pitch-perfect senatorial image. That's about all he has going for him. He's on TV a fair amount, mostly because he's likely to say something idiotic but also 'cause he's "telegenic"… or maybe that's the same thing.
I have Oklahoma relations, that being Coburn's constituency. Once I was talking about how it'd be easier to teach my kids to read coins if there were numbers on them instead of "One Dime," "Quarter Dollar," and so on. My relatives told me they wouldn't want that — it would encourage world government. 'Nuff said.
Why Rex, where did you find these mayonaise filled wieners?
So do you think the creators of RM, MD are aware of the speculation and innuendo here? Are they trying to provoke us?" And mayonnaise in wieners???
Rex Morgan mayonaise filled wieners – They spooj when you cook 'em.
It must be mayonaise, because something white,hot, and creamy is oozing out of Rex's wiener.
It looks like a battle looming: Mallard's apotheosis of Sen. Coburn and the antics of two pinko gay medicos pushing their agenda of government mandated free abortions. Is it mere coincidence that Rex attempted to bean a duck on the course?
So who WAS that "mainstream media" woman in Friday's Mallard Fillmore? (Check out the link on post #11, above)
I thought it was Hillary Swank…or Marilu Henner.
for dessert, Dr. Troy has thoughtfully brought along some Twinkies.
Cream-filled Twinkies®
#29 – Actually, to tell the truth when I first saw it I thought it was supposed to be Michael Jackson!
Love those, fuzzmaster. More free punchlines:
Ted Forth: It's hard out here for a wimp.
Bo Nanas: It's hard out here for a chimp.
Tiffany from Luann: It's hard out here to primp.
Funky Winkerbean: It's hard out here for "Pomp and Circumstance".
Months of pimp-talking, beyotch-slapping hilarity to ensue.
Today in Rex Morgan we find out that Troy wants to build a pediatric clinic for children without insurance. You know, so he can get close to the kids.
So now we have not a gay golfing story, but a gay pederast golfing story. It's an embarrasment of comedic riches, really.
That panel of Rex & Troy sharing a hot dog: I don't know, it kind of touched me. They have this look of recognition on their faces that transcends the hot dog; it's a "moment." Like when you find out that someone you've known for years also thinks that Caddyshack 2 is their favorite movie. "Look, we both are eating hot dogs! Isn't this crazy? We both hold them like a dead hamster! Wow! I love you!"
Does anyone feel this way too?
You are right, Benicillin. It is one of those magic moments when Rex dribbles that bukake weiner mayonaise on his chin.
btw: I envy your antibiotic name.
Thanks, Sass. I don't feel so alone in the world now. Maybe, in some crazy way, we just shared a hot dog too.
And we got to watch….thank you for sharing that with the rest of us.
This is disturbing … and new to me, at least:
According to a survey of libraries, the 15th-most common holding of libraries around the entire globe is …
Garfield books.
Garfield. The fat cat. With the dumb owner and the goofy dog pal. That Garfield.
More common than Tom Sawyer. Catch-22, number 325; Garfield, #15.
OK, they fudged by apparently counting all the Garfield books as one (they ARE all the same, though, aren't they). But they did the same for Peanuts: #69. Calvin & Hobbes: #77. Doonesbury: #88. Far Side: #115. Far Side, for crying out loud.
Ah, Mary you're so nice! Referring to WASP in building B as an "it."
and look!!!! Something in FC that wasn't created by the white, American man, Suduko! Too bad Jeffy doesn't know his numbers!! HAHAHH!!!!
Quod videt, of course.
Gasoline Alley – Just what the hell is going on in this strip? An escaped lunatic with a .45 has just been overpowered by an 85-year-old man and an elderly lady armed with a tree branch? Gertie must be dreaming while waiting for Skeezix to arrive. Patrick Duffy has a lot to answer for.
Get Fuzzy – If you don't think this strip is funny, please re-read the last 10 days. How you like THESE apples! I own a Siamese cat and I know they are batshit insane, but Bucky has passed through insane and gone out the other side.
Luann – Why does every woman in this strip have lips except for Luann? And why do I care?
(DT)GT – The H.S. basketball playdowns are finally over. Too bad this strip isn't finally over. The crowd scenes full of extras from the road show of 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' were getting to be too much for me.
MT – Basil Exposition must be filling in for the regular artist. The strip has been cracking along in its story arc. Tony will soon be visiting Doc's cabin armed with his trusty new digital camera. After growing bored of snapping pictures of ginormous animals and his own genitalia, he'll hike off to watch the 'fireworks' as Pappy Sam's goons blow up the mountain road.
Popeye – Impending regicide is a good thing.
RMMD – After over a month of crypto-homosexual banter, Dr. McCheesey had finally revealed just what he's recruiting Rex for; the Deputy Tonsil Yanker position at a free children's clinic. In the interests of good taste, may I suggest we lay off the obvious sexual innuendo that implies? Nah…
SF – Ralph is back, Sally is worried, and the strip still sucks. Get to the action already. Sally already whined and fretted enough about Ralph being rehired, watching her whine and fret about his first day back is just mind numbing. Let's get to the machiavellian mind games already.
Monty – I've worked the bar at a few female divorce parties before. Believe me, if men acted that way to celebrate a divorce they'd have our guts for garters. Ditto with strippers. I've never seen a more dangerous crowd than broads watching male strippers. If men in a strip club acted like that the bouncers would pound them into a paste. Ditto Hallmark cards too. Hypocrisy thy name is…
JOHN McCAIN is a maverick; Coburn's just a nutjob. Mallard's latest "hero" is a throwback to 2nd half of the 20th century when the RIGHT-wingers were insane.
Between this week's Mallard and last Sunday's Non Sequitur (a veritable cornucopia of anti-Bush paranoid talking points), I'm glad I'm an independent!
Spiderman: Used to be a fireman… still knows a few things… like destroying a chair for no known reason (snark void on 3/23, when the strip will invariably show why firemen do this).
FOOB: I dare anyone to make sense of this one by or before 3/23.
Lockhorns: "I have abandonment issues. Loretta won't leave me." Why not? Loretta, just leave the stupid shmuck already! (Or the reverse, for that matter)
(DT)GT: …and proud of how you talk in bizarrely gigantic lettering that crowds out the pictures.
Blondie: Proof Dagwood knows he's in a comic strip. Maybe all those strip characters in the cross-over madness a while back clued him in.
I wonder if Darby Conley is trying to get papers to drop him for a day? Today's installment is damn funny but it is directly referancing either cat testicles or cat poop, not sure which, but both are funny
#43 – Dagwood breaks the 'Fourth Wall' and addresses the audience fairly often.
I have to agree with Ferd Berfel re the last ten days of Get Fuzzy. It has been getting more hilarious by the day. I'm not sure Conley can top today's though!
I suppose a Curmudgeon Gear thong with "How do you like these apples" on it is probabably out of the question.
In Get Fuzzy, I prefer the "road apples" interpretation. I hope Bucky got "fixed" a long time ago and doesn't have genitalia to wave in our general direction.
Oh no — the Milford Milfs have been eliminated from the playdowns. At least now they can get back to their day jobs as Breck Girls.
in FBOFW: Ok, so Mike picks up Mummy and Daddy at the airport and they have to ask to be driven home? Just where was he going to take them, Chuck-E-Cheeses'????
I think that if they ask any more inane questions like that Mike should take them to THE HOME instead of TO HOME.
#46 SteveDallasFan says:
"…Get Fuzzy. It has been getting more hilarious by the day…"
Same for me.
During my freshman year of college, I actually took part in an early-morning water-balloon-throwing incident at a bunch of loud Sigma Chi pledges, whose reaction was pretty much the same. It was one of the two highlights of my freshman year, so this series has a special poignancy for me.
There was a story on CBS's national news last night about a group of Universal Press Syndicate cartoonists rallying around one of their own that I thought was touching. Rob Harrell, who does the comic "Big Top," underwent surgery for cancer. Fifteen UPS cartoonists took turns guest-drawing his strip.
I'm not familiar with "Big Top," so I can't say if they improved it or made it worse, but I like the camaraderie.
UPS has a story about it at:
Cathy: "It's hard out here for a blimp."
Mallard Fillmore: "It's hard out here for a simp."
Re #49:
Today's strip may seem to be a bit of a stretch, but it made me laugh out loud because I have the same friggin' conversation with my mother every friggin' time my sister or I take her anywhere. She worries that she's being a bother because she doesn't drive. She frets that "we must have better things to do." She holds out on telling us everywhere she needs to go because she doesn't "want to use up the gas." It drives me and my sister up a wall. Curiously, she doesn't do this with my sister's boyfriend or my cousins. I've tried to find out what secret they possess or vaccine they took that helps them avoid this nonsense, but they ain't telling. Damn them.
Our replies of, "It's no trouble," eventually come out dripping like Margo's response bubble in today's A3G, whicn leads to another level in the neverending circle of guilt. That bubble has to be the coolest image I've ever seen in that strip.
Get Fuzzy – dialogue ripped off from Good Will Hunting + cat defecation = COMEDY GOLD.
The 30 something profile Rusty in panel one sure looks a lot older than the Dondi-like prepubescent child Rusty in panel 3. That is some great dialogue, too. It really lets the reader know who's who, much like the old "It's your editor, Bill Ellis from Woods and Wildlife Magazine on the phone for you, Mark".
It didn't take Mary Worth very long to catch on to that hip exercise slang "feeling the burn". No pain no gain, Mary.
During my freshman year of college, I actually took part in an early-morning water-balloon-throwing incident at a bunch of loud Sigma Chi pledges, whose reaction was pretty much the same. It was one of the two highlights of my freshman year, so this series has a special poignancy for me.
Now I get it. Get Fuzzy is stupid un-funny frat boy attempts at humor.
"feeling the burn"?
would that be rug burn, Mary?
Fuzzy: Yay for the broken English of the dumb dog Bucky's been tormenting (I like to think of him as Howard Erk — ours, not the Foob one, although there may be little difference). That makes today's strip.
Mallard: Bite me, Tinsley.
Monty: My favorite facial expression in this strip is in the final panel: the wall-eyed, somewhat deranged grin on the leftmost woman. Usually this is seen in this strip on the faces of malicious and somewhat dim children who torment the adult characters.
Arlo & Janis: Laughed out loud at today's gag. Yes, folks, it _is_ possible to do a Wacky Modern Technology joke in a comic strip and make it entertaining.
Pluggers: OK, here's an example of why I loathe this comic with every fiber of my being. Since when did "dinner and a movie" become something that required a Plugger equivalent? Seriously. I need to know this. Am I being a latte-sippin' homo liberal whenever I go outside my freaking house now?
54: Margo's snappy comeback today was literally dripping with sarcasm.
Is Mallard Fillmore suppose to be a duck or a loon?….'cause he's looking pretty loonish to me.
They'll Do It Everytime today had me rolling my eyes until I thought they'd pop out of my head. How else is one suppose to eat eggs unless they're cut up? Maybe the idea is to leave them in pristine sunnyside-upishness and just swallow them whole. *rolls eyes some more* Ow!
#60. Or in the words of Kelly Stirling, from building B, figuratively and literally.
GT: Wow, the playdowns are over! The moral is : Never have a homeless player on your team, they'll just bring you down.
#39 – Uh…hate to say this but Sudoku was invented in the US around 1970 or so. Maybe by a white man, though I don't know. It became popular in Japan and made a triumphal re-entry. Sort of like Jimi Hendrix, except he wasn't a white man. Well, Les Paul was…er, I forgot where I'm going with this…
FOOB Post Here. Yes, i know it's shameless blogwhoring.
But it is also historic: the post also includes the first time that Ziggy has actually been funny. Plus, lots of half-naked Yenny. Am I the only one who "reads" that strip (and I mean "reads" in the same sense that I "read" Hustler for the articles).
Howard, Howard …
You didn't have the curiousity to ask what the other highlight of my freshman year was?
However … there's no intrinsic reason why you should find Get Fuzzy funny. Seriously, what do you find funny and why?
Howard Erk forgot the J.
Nope, got a J right here with my buddy Rex.
As for strips that are funny now, they are few and far between. Nobody has consistency anymore. Calvin and Hobbes had it. So did The Far Side. And before his brain rotted on religion, Johnny Hart was brilliant.
Get Fuzzy??? As funny as a food fight in the quad.
I'm not familiar with "Big Top,†so I can't say if they improved it or made it worse, but I like the camaraderie.
UPS has a story about it at:
#51: Thanks for the link.
I read "Big Top" regularly (sometimes pretty twisted humor) and I noticed the switch, but I just figured it was one of those "cross-overs" that cartoonists do sometimes.
They've all managed to do fairly well–even Jim Davis and Scott Stantis managed not to suck too much. Some of them are truly inspired, like Ruben "Tom the Dancing Bug" Bolling's take on the strip. Even better that they were pitching in to help out.
And, to top it off…it's not even funny.
They'll Do It Every Time struck me as strange, too. Strange disconnect in the thought process that came up with that joke.
Isn't it a bit like saying it's okay to serve hamburger to a man who ordered a steak, because he's just going to chew it up anyway?
MotoMike, I've got the curiousity, being a cat and all. What was the the other highlight of your freshman year?
A3G Is it wrong that I'm loving Margo a little bit today? If she could go around heaping her abuse on people who deserve it instead of her sad roommates this could be a helluva soap strip.
MW: What was the unidentified powerwalking woman inspired to be? A mannequin? No wonder she was worn out, it is hard to walk without joints.
# 71
Sorry, forgot to put in the link:
see Panel 2. Maybe she's actually Full-Figure Barbie instead.
Nevermind the mostly-imagined gay subtext to RMMD or MW…take a look at today's Medium Large:
a little duck-on-coyote action? somebody had better call Rick Santorum…
"Jump Start:" It's not often a newspaper strip actually startles me (in a good way). I actually swore out loud while reading it…
"Get Fuzzy:" The way Soapy talks and the way Bucky is standing in the last panel had me laughing out loud, which also doesn't happen that often with a newspaper strip anymore…
I respect Howard Erk's take on things even if I don't necessarily agree with all his jaded opinions. Humor is strictly subjective. He disses everything consistently so there is no waffling, just steadfast resolute negativity.
Howard Erk, do you read any soaps besides, FBOFW? There really is a lot of good humor in them, albeit inane, mindless humor, but humor nonetheless. Mark Trail and Mary Worth are numbers one and two in the mindless inanity competition.
#73-Given the theme of this weeks MF, wouldn't it be better to contact Tom Coburn? He'd be upset to-more homer-sexuals in today's society?
On another note, something that's bugging be about Luann. What sort of Goth girl would lower herself to hanging out with a shallow, ditzy cheerleader like Tiffany? And since when do shallow, ditzy cheerleaders hang out with "freaks" like Krystal? Does Evans know anything about high school society?
Library Cat, I can't say specifically because it might lead some of the more impressionable members of this forum into evil habits. By the way, do you remember that scene from "Animal House" where Tom Hulce compares the structure of the solar system to the structure of an atom?
#71: Margo Magee, the non-violent Everett True. I like it!
Actually, I was worried that margo's speech balloon was going to stab that poor couple in the background. If it was MT perspective, that is.
Then it'd be no more non-violent, no more abuse on people who deserve it.
75: Why should we respect Howard Erk, again? Because every opinion is valid? Feh. The vast majority of his posts appear to be of the wet-blanket, "the comic you like isn't funny" variety. In olden days, he would have been called a troll. We have a guy like him at my office, whom you can count on to say something disparaging about anything you say you enjoy. No one cares about his opinion any more. Howard's bound for the same dark hole, if he isn't there already.
Personally, I think the only one bound for a dark hole is Rex Morgan, M.D.
I like how Mary is not afraid to flash those catchy gang symbols.
Damn, what I would give to see her go back to the women's shelter and see her flash "Charterstone Biiiiyatcchh" at the Jaundiced man.
Nicely done, Fred P.
As for strips that are funny now, they are few and far between. Nobody has consistency anymore. Calvin and Hobbes had it. So did The Far Side. And before his brain rotted on religion, Johnny Hart was brilliant.
Ah, how very, ur band suxs. Kids these days… when I was young we had real comics!
If you don't enjoy it why read 'em?
"Nope, got a J right here with my buddy Rex"
You have no buddies.
I was ready to be all down on Pastis for running another good gag into the ground–but this storyline is maintaining the funny pretty nicely. And seeing after Jeremy in that last panel, now I don't want him to stop.
Pardon my dyslectic moment. That was supposed to be "after seeing", not "seeing after".
At the risk of sounding serious, or like I care, about anything or anybody, what Dr. Bruce is talking about, people with the means to do so taking care of people that don't, well that seems like a very good thing. I don't know whether or not Rex Morgan, MD agrees, but I figure everybody has an obligation to take care of everybody else. Is what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding stupid or smart? Something about democracy, being an American. This strikes me as very strange in comics.
All of that aside, isn't it a concern that Milford has become Loserville? They mever win in the playdowns. What in the world are playdowns? Anybody ever been in those as opposed to playoffs? Will Milford ever win again? Reminds me of the David Letterman German Shephard. When will the folks with the food return?
I discovered this site today.
I thought I was on to something over at my blog, but the community and commentary here leaves me humbled.
This is why Cleats is not funny because every fucking joke in that strip deals with soccer, which I will say for the goddamn umpteenth time is a sport NOBODY IN THIS COUNTRY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!
I continue to be pissed off at Glens Falls [NY] Post-Star Editor-in-Chief Ken Tingley for dropping Funky Winkerbean (which will always be infinitely funnier than Cleats) in favor of Cleats all at the insistence of his bratty soccer-loving eight-year-old kid. Jokes about Lisa Moore dying from breast cancer will always be funnier than jokes about a sport that will never overtake baseball as the national pastime because it's dull, boring and nobody scores during it most of the time.
And I will continue to rant and rave here about it until asshole Tingley brings back Funky Winkerbean.
WAAAAAAAAAIT a minute … since when do you use the same pump to inflate soccer balls that you do for bicycle tires? They don't operate in the same pressure range, and they don't even have the same kind of nozzle! I call shenanigans!
Does your blog have a contact page? I'm having a tough time locating it but, I'd like to send you an email.
I've got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it
expand over time.
In the exploration of some of the common supplements available on the market,
I am looking at weight loss supplements that work in this article.
Increase in Focus – Energy Throughout the day – No Crash – Increase in Serotonins-feel
good hormones – Manages cortisol-a stress hormone that causes belly fat –
Prevents fat from being made – Builds leans muscle – Increase
in good cholestoral and decrease in bad cholestoral.
Mattes and Bormann (2000) studied the effect of HCA in promoting weight loss through appetite suppression.
I like the valuable info you provide in your articles.
I will bookmark your weblog and check again here frequently.
I am quite certain I will learn a lot of new stuff right here!
Best of luck for the next!

Extending Perfect Server - Debian Squeeze [ISPConfig 3] - Page 2
Submitted by 8omas (Contact Author) (Forums) on Fri, 2011-03-11 00:14. ::
Following the above instructions you can install roundcube via apt-get. However following another logic (if you have the time and the courage) you can install roundcube in it's own subdomain, manually.
In "Perfect Server ...." you usually install Squirrelmai. However if you don't want it you can remove it:
apt-get remove squirrelmail
and delete the /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf:
rm /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf
OR if you want it edit the /etc/apache2/conf.d/squirrelmail.conf and change the alias to something like 'webmail1'.
Install roundcube. (You MUST have the mysql administrator's password before you proceed -- Let dbconfig-common configure the database. You will be asked some questions about the password of the db administrator and the password of the new user that will be created for roundcube. Answer those questions and continue:
apt-get install roundcube roundcube-mysql
Examle answers:
If something goes wrong you can always run:
dpkg-reconfigure roundcube-core
For more information, please see this post.
For everyone to be able to access his webmail (under his domain name) you have to create or edit the file /etc/apache2/conf.d/roundcube so as to set the alias to 'webmail'. If you want SSL you should include the last two directives (IfModule mod_rewrite.c) to have apache ALWAYS redirect to your SSL installation of ISPConfig.
nano /etc/apache2/conf.d/roundcube
# Those aliases do not work properly with several hosts on your apache server
Edit /var/lib/roundcube/config/main.inc.php:
nano /var/lib/roundcube/config/main.inc.php
and SET some variables in the file (if this is the first time you edit the file the lines are 60 and 66):
auto_create_user = TRUE;
If you will install the following plugin (the logger that helps fail2ban) you have to extend the list of plugins in the same file. If the only plugin is the one that will be istalled right afterward you have to edit the line (42) as below:
$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('fail2ban');
Install the roundcube logger plugin from http://mattrude.com/projects/roundcube-fail2ban-plugin/.
Basically you have to download the file (fail2ban.php) and paste it in the fail2ban folder in the plugins folder of roundcube. Finally you must have this file: /usr/share/roundcube/plugins/fail2ban/fail2ban.php. Execute:
cd /usr/share/roundcube/plugins/
This plugin will update the log file with each failed login attempt: /var/log/roundcube/userlogins
Don't forget to edit the link for the webmail in ISPConfig (System -> Interface Config -> (tab) Mail) and set it to /webmail. Lastly, restart apache.
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
You can now access webmail at http://www.example.com/webmail
Extend the jail.local file that falko suggests in The Perfect Server - Debian Squeeze (Debian 6.0) With BIND & Courier [ISPConfig 3]: /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
nano /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
You have to append or edit the following:
The 50443 port in roundcube is only needed if you enabled the redirection to https (look in the beggining of this tutorial).
Last (and very important) don't forget to create the roundcube.conf file /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/roundcube.conf.
nano /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/roundcube.conf
with the following contents:
[Definition] failregex = FAILED login for .*. from <host> ignoreregex =
Lucky us the webmin-auth and the ssh filters are already done for us by the fail2ban itself. Restart fail2ban:
/etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
If someone adds a lot of jails in fail2ban, then some of them may not start (errors in /var/log/fail2ban.log but not in the output !!!). See it by yourself by executing:
iptables -L -n
Unfortunately the solution is a bit of a hack... but at least it is a solution:
In the file /usr/bin/fail2ban-client at line 145 you have to insert time.sleep(0.1) or time.sleep(0.05):
nano /usr/bin/fail2ban-client
So before the change the file looks like this:
And afterward the file looks like this:
Restart again fail2ban:
/etc/init.d/fail2ban restart
You can check that all jails are active with the command:
iptables -L -n

Block Design
Synphony High-Level Synthesis
How to Bring an SMC-Generated Peripheral w/AXI4-Lite Interface into the Xilinx Environment
Synphony Model Compiler (SMC) is a model-based tool from Synopsys that synthesizes designs created in Simulink® and MATLAB® to generate optimized RTL for ASIC and FPGA targets. SMC includes a comprehensive high-level model library for creating math, signal-processing and communications designs in the Simulink environment. Using the included SMC Host Interface Block makes it simple to integrate a design you've created with the Synphony Model Compiler into a Xilinx embedded platform.

The fixed and the finite: QoR in FPGAs
There is an intriguingly amorphous term in FPGA design circles lately: Quality of Results, or QoR. Fitting a design in an FPGA is just the start - is a design optimal in real estate, throughput, power consumption, and IP reuse? Paradoxically, as FPGAs get bigger and take on bigger signal processing problems, QoR has become a larger concern.

Gigahertz FFT Rates on a 500MHz Budget
Today's systems often present a massive amount of very fast data at the front end that needs to be sampled and decimated quickly, typical of a system with a lot of data channels in play like satellite radio or cable head-end systems. Sample rates run into the gigahertz range, putting them outside the range of FPGA clock speeds if the constraint is one sample per clock. In this article, learn how Synopsys' parallel FFT IP implementation allows data to be sampled and processed faster.

Multi-Gigahertz FPGA Signal Processing
Design teams from Xilinx and Synopsys know the importance of creating parallel architectures to accelerate signal processing applications on FPGA devices. In this article, learn how an FPGA clocked at 500MHz can support FFTs with gigasample per second data throughput rates.

Power-Area Tradeoffs for Parallel Signal Processing Architectures
Engineers working on datapath designs for high-speed signal processing must create architectures to meet the application's performance and power needs. Learn how some of Synopsys' signal processing flows can create and explore parallel architectures to address this challenge.

Using Parallel FFT for Multigigahertz FPGA Signal Processing
Very high-speed fast Fourier transform (FFT) cores are an essential requirement for any real-time spectral-monitoring system. As the demand for monitoring bandwidth grows in pace with the proliferation of wireless devices in different parts of the spectrum, these systems must convert time domain to spectrum ever more rapidly, necessitating faster FFT operations. This article examines the design of a parallel FFT (PFFT) with runtime-configurable transform length, taking note of the throughput and utilization numbers that are achievable when using parallel FFT.

Great skiing continues
Submitted by warrenklug on Tue, 01/04/2011 - 12:24
Every day, enthusiastic skiers and boarders are seen hiking up to the top of Highlands Bowl, to drop in for some of the neatest powder on the mountains. We enjoyed more snow last week and a fun New Years Weekend, and now we have a mix of sunshine, light clouds and even some light snow for the days ahead. The weekend will be sunny; just right for really great skiing and boarding!
Ask about our Last Minute Specials in January, and come ski with your friends at Aspen Square. What a great time to be here!

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Aruba Networks Is Bouncing Back From 'Hurricane Cisco'
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After a disappointing 2013 that saw its stock drop 14%, mobile enterprise company Aruba Networks (ARUN) has gotten the new year started on the right foot.
There were doubts that the company could put the pieces back together after a couple of, well, tropical storms had an impact on revenue. The Street called it "Hurricane Cisco" (CSCO). But as as I pointed out, too much was being made of a near-term hiccup. Aruba was suffering from revenue growth, yes. But it certainly didn't warrant the one-day 40% decline in the stock.
Last week, all of that was forgotten as Aruba beat both the top- and bottom-line estimates.
Revenue for the fiscal second quarter rose 14% year over year, and 10% sequentially. Product revenue, which comprises of 84% of Aruba's business, advanced roughly 8% year over year and 8% sequentially. As much as I like Aruba's business, this area has always been cause for some anxiety; 8% growth for product revenue is solid, but it still represents a deceleration of close to 66% from the year-ago quarter -- albeit still good enough for a 5% beat.
[Read: Here's the Biggest Risk With Tesla's Gigafactory]
While I never believed Aruba was as bad as the numbers showed last year, I won't be quick to think that a 41% sequential surge in service revenue immediately sends an "all clear" signal. Let's not take one decent quarter out of context. Let's also not forget that during the conference call management cited a contract worth $2 million to implement a public-facing application for an unnamed enterprise customer during the quarter. Let's not be quick to assume this is going to happen every quarter. If service revenue were to post a sequential decline in the May quarter, we should already know one of the reasons.

Allergies affect 50 million Americans
Cleaner is better, right? Maybe not. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the prevalence of allergies and asthma has risen steadily since the 1980s. Scientists believe that hyper-cleanliness makes it harder for kids to develop the proper immunity to fight off disease. Exposing children to dust and dirt could help them develop immune systems that are able to fight off allergies and asthma. Chemically aggressive cleaning products have become something of a trend, but effective cleaning is possible without the harsh chemicals. Check out these all-natural cleaning products and read on to find out what you need to know about protecting your child from allergies.
Allergy Facts
With the increase in peanut-free classrooms and pocket-size inhalers, it seems like every kid has allergies. And unfortunately, they are often far more serious than a sneezing fit. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, allergies result in about two million school absences every year. Even more frightening, many allergies go undiagnosed, which is why it's imperative to your child's health that you get the facts:

Join the Community
Other parents are often an invaluable resource. Whether you're seeking support from moms and dads whose children also have allergies, looking for peanut-free lunch ideas or just want to discuss the rising number of kids who are sensitive to allergens, other parents can make your life a lot easier. Explore these iVillage message boards for tips and the chance to share your own wisdom:

Let Kids Be Kids
Between providing balanced meals and shuttling your children from one extracurricular activity to another, it's easy to forget that sometimes kids just need to be kids. And if a daily dose of dirt can help keep serious allergies at bay, then all the more reason to send your children outside for some old-fashioned fun. Besides, while your kids are burning off energy out in the yard, you get a well-deserved moment of peace and quiet. So, what are you waiting for? Check out these kid-friendly adventures:

Walking a Puma on a South American Volunteer Vacation
A travel writer's gripping tale of working with a ferocious feline.
In Bolivia, in a patch of forest near the small town of Villa Tunari, lives a puma. His russet fur shows that he is a jungle puma (mountain pumas wear gray coats), but he wasn't born there. At the age of around six weeks he was confiscated by wildlife authorities from a marketplace. The wildlife authorities then delivered him to a group called Inti Wara Yassi--the name means "sun, stars, moon" in three separate indigenous languages--who take in such animals, care for them as best they can, and release them when possible. This particular puma has noble features, is strongly muscled, and deserves the mighty name of some Inca king. But instead he is simply called Roy. And I was tied to him for a month.
I got to know Roy while I was volunteering at Parque Machia, a small reserve where hundreds of animals live. Parque Machia has monkeys, bears, ocelots, coatis, macaws, eagles, and pumas, but tourists mainly get to the monkeys, which are very relaxed with humans. To reduce their stress, the majority of the animals see no one but their handlers, and while Bolivians founded and manage Parque Machia, most of the staff is made up of short-term volunteers from every corner of the globe.
My first evening at Parque Machia, I joined the other new volunteers to listen to an Australian named Bondy give us a rundown on the park and to get assigned to a species of animal.
Bondy spoke of monkeys, macaws, less familiar creatures like tayra and coatis, and finally, the cats. "You have to be fit to work with Roy," said Bondy. "He covers a lot of ground each session, most of it at a run, over rough terrain that can snap an ankle or smash knees. He nails the guys with him all the time so they never get any rest. And when I say 'nail' I mean that he grabs the back of your legs with his paws then bites you on the knee. So you have to be fit--fit and a little bit crazy."
That, I thought, sounds wildly irresponsible, dangerous, and maybe a bit stupid. "That," I said with hand raised, showing flagrant disregard for the weakened knees and sore back I'd developed since I arrived in Africa at nineteen, "sounds like me."
When at last I took the cord position with Roy, I tried not to show my nervousness while sweat that had nothing to do with heat poured from my torso and brow. Roy jumped me three times that first morning. Being tied to him naturally made me an easier target. No matter how many times I'd seen it happen to Mick and Adrian, there was nothing that could prepare me for the moment the puma stopped running, turned and faced me with pupils contracted, and launched lightening fast at my leg.
Pumas can bite much harder, and inflict much more pain, than Roy does, so I shouldn't have really been that disturbed. But a very primal part of me protested that what I was doing was silly and illogical and that the rope should just be cut. Some ancestral lizard inside me uncurled and squeaked to undo the rope, climb a tree, and stay away from anything large with fur and fangs. Let the puma run free! Or whatever it was he wanted to do in exchange for not biting me.
But Roy could not be set free because, like many of the animals at Parque Machia, and the other parks run by Inti Wara Yassi, he was too young when he arrived to ever be able to survive in the wild. His mother had most likely been killed for her skin at a time when Roy and his brother were far too young to fend for themselves. The strain of capture, confiscation, and relocation had proved too much for Roy's brother, and he died soon after arriving. Roy, though, had thrived and was renowned among the organization's volunteers as the most demanding puma in the four parks managed by Inti. Demanding or not, he needed daily runs to maintain his health and to give him a better life than he would have had if he was locked up in a cage day after day.
"You have to keep him on the rope at all costs," Mick had explained to me. "He got off once; nobody will ever say how. Roy's a racist, hates Bolivians, and when he escaped the first person he saw was a local guy. He took his spleen out with a single swipe. If something like that ever happens again, the place will be shut down and all these animals will just get sold off to zoos by the local council."
Right, I thought determined to quash the impulse to release Roy, keep him on the rope at all costs.
Despite knowing that Roy had never had a trainer he hadn't jumped, I thought I might become one of the people he jumped less often--for two reasons. I'd had a cat in Australia named Tyson. Tyson had been my fiancee's, and he died soon after my relationship ended. Losing him was almost as big an emotional blow as the breakup; I loved him dearly and had studied his habits and personality with affectionate interest. I was sure my understanding of a house cat would be partly transferrable to a puma. Also, since I'd spent plenty of time with lions, leopards, and cheetahs--and wild ones, at that--I felt sure I wouldn't be scared of Roy. Roy would pick up on my lack of fear, and we'd become great friends, surprising the many previous volunteers who'd spent time with him and allowing me to share some of the awe that surrounded conversations about Roy. I missed Tyson and wanted that sort of relationship again. We'd be friends, Roy and me, just like Tyse and I had been, I was sure.

artist: Mike IX Williams
title: Glass Torn and War Shortage: The Purposeful Poisoning of a Shardless Society
format: anti-cassette C19 [TYPE II - Chrome]
copies: 199 hand-coated/stamped copies
music: MIKE IX WILLIAMS is no stranger to controversy, having spent his life dedicated to releasing boundary-destroying music in scores of socially-progressive bands. With his solo material, MIKE IX continues to unleash proclamations of obliteration through a dualistic harsh noise and spoken word attack, riding the fine line between evangelical emissions and total mental decay. Auris Apothecary is pleased to finally present the most dangerous and abstract physical manifestation of the intensity MIKE IX is known for with Glass Torn and War Shortage: The Purposeful Poisoning of a Shardless Society.
An anti-cassette which has been coated with the dust and shards of broken glass, Glass Torn and War Shortage is almost 17 minutes of pummeling harsh noise coupled with a vocal barrage of misanthropic observations and articulations, its devastating message only being matched by the paradoxically-intimidating beauty of the musical artifact. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
packaging: Clear rigid plastic cases with white foam insert. Booklet laser-printed on white cardstock and clear transparency paper with stapled spine. Label laser-printed on translucent labels, case wax-sealed with clear wax. Cassette coated in broken glass.
Released December 1st, 2011 CE.

De la Renta was also "saddened," Seitel said.
The 83-year-old Marshall stands accused of grand larceny and other charges for allegedly pilfering money from his mother to pay the captain of his yacht's salary, as well as the income for a social secretary for a theater production company he ran out of his mother's apartment without her knowledge. Astor, who died in August at the age of 105, was said to have left behind a $132 million fortune and an additional $60 million trust. Last summer, Rockefeller and de la Renta signed affidavits calling for the appointment of a personal and financial guardian for Astor. Morrissey, who is out of the country, is expected to turn himself in Friday, according to a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Roger M. Morganthau. Marshall and Morrissey are due back in court Jan. 30.
AVOIDING THE BUG: While she is often criticized on the subject of health care, Sen. Hillary Clinton appears to be determined about staving off cold and flu season while on the campaign trail. On Tuesday, the Democratic presidential candidate stopped by Petticoat Lane, a store in her hometown of Chappaqua, N.Y., with her daughter, Chelsea, to buy winter hats by Eric Javits. Clinton — a longtime Javits fan, who even wore one of the designer's hats to Princess Diana's funeral a decade ago — chose a black rain hat and Chelsea chose the Stork style. No word on whether the Clintons have yet ordered inauguration-apropos chapeaux.
DESIGNER DANCE OFF: Designers have been collaborating with dance companies for years, but now Mark Badgley and James Mischka are tweaking that formula. The pair will suit up the Alvin Ailey Dance Company's 15 female principal dancers for the troupe's opening-night gala tonight at the New York Sheraton. The flexible ones will wear Badgley Mischka Platinum dresses. But no two dancers will be dressed the same.

Gypsy is not really around much anymore...
Had my surgery Wednesday and all went fairly well. I spent 2 nights in hospital and am home now.. little bit sore and lightheaded, but feeling pretty good. The cysts were huge but now they're gone – so all should be good.
Hope everyone out there in 43 land is well and happy – I'll post more when I'm feeling a bit better.

A dish that is synonymous with Indian cuisine in many restaurants the world over, the Vegetable Biryani deserves to be so popular! A masaledar gravy chock-full of veggies and paneer, is sandwiched between rice that has been cooked with spices and perked up with saffron-tinged curd. This whole arrangement is drizzled with ghee and cooked covered till the flavours mingle, merge and multiply manifold, and an irresistible aroma wafts out of handi, making this a visual, aromatic and culinary treat par comparison.

I mostly dislike the New Age movement because it
promises false hope (e.g.- do this, think this, say this,
imagine this, and everything will be perfect). The author
left Christianity, explored other religions, and then met
Friend G who gave him his insights. Now, not everyone has to
prescribe to Christianity, but it does not offer false hope.
Jesus says life will be hard but that we can persevere because
He loves us. This Friend G is written as having supernatural
powersi, scientific insights and foreknowledge of doom. I
personally think this author has encountered the demonic or
psychotic but not some great prophet. There is a lot of
fantasy universalism in this book. God loves everybody, yes,

Is there a medication to rebuild your liver?
- Q: Is there a medication to rebuild your liver?
- A: I am unaware of any Food and Drug Administration-approved medication that "rebuilds" the liver. Depending on the type of liver damage, there are various medications, such as medication for hepatitis. Performing an Internet search, I find various claims about herbs, liver detoxes, and so on. However, these products are not studied by the FDA and, therefore, have not gone through the same rigorous testing as an FDA-approved drug. Always consult with your health care provider before taking any herbs and cleanses. Jennyfer Marisco, RPh
