Sturrock salutes Shrimpers success
Southend manager Paul Sturrock was overjoyed after watching his side arrest a three-match losing run and get back to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Rotherham.Sturrock's son, Blair, struck the decisive goal in the fifth minute after cleverly finding space in the box, much to the delight of his father."I'm very pleased with the approach of the players," said the former Plymouth boss. "Against Chesterfield, Crewe and Bury we have shown in bits that we are a handful, but we had consistency."We showed good team spirit and the fans were good because they backed the team all the way."My only criticism was that you are always nervous when you are one-nothing up that the other side can comeback. My only disappointment was that we didn't get the second goal to kill it off."But overall we looked a solid unit and that has been a problem in recent weeks with injuries and suspensions because we have been missing the spine of the team and that has been a worry."

Castor & Pollux Organix Turkey & Seafood Canned Cat Food
Great product
We bought this for our older cat who has trouble digesting many different foods. She tore into this cat food and was able to keep it down. I'm thinking the store food may have preservatives or artificial colors that were making her sick. She even had trouble with the dry food we got for sensitive stomachs. Great product....will be ordering more!

Another great C&P Organix flavor for my CRF cat
As per my earlier review for the Turkey & Spinach, this Castor & Poillux Turkey & Seafood wet canned food is agreeable to my cat and is healthier for his kidneys (he has CRF) b/c of it's lower protein. It has organic ingredients and isn't full of the nasty fillers and meat by-products in the Rx diet cat foods. I think it's stinky but he likes it. :)
December 16, 2012
Great, healthy food
Our older kitty cat likes this food, and it's well-suited for keeping her kidneys from going and keeping her lean, with high-quality protein, low carbs, and low phosphorus. Thanks, Castor and Pollux!
December 25, 2013
Cats did not like at all.
Unfortunately, none of my six cats would eat this food.

Yesterday Xbox720.com redirected to the US PlayStation website, but it appears the domain owner has used the attention gained from that to open his own blog, Fusible reports. Xbox720.com now redirects to a tech-news aggregation site and was previously monetized via Google's Adsense program; before that it hosted random sites dating back to 2006 at least. In November 2011, the site was registered to Jeremiah Germany, but that information is now protected through Whois Privacy.
PlayStation4.com redirects to a PlayStation news and cheat site.
It appears the redirections aren't as vindictive as the ModernWarfare3.com debacle, in which a Battlefield fan used the domain to convert Call of Duty players to his shooter of choice. We don't even know what the next Xbox will be called -- considering the first Xbox wasn't called "180," it's not set in stone that the third iteration will follow in the 360's footsteps. However, Microsoft's Xbox360.com redirects to the main Xbox site, and Sony's PlayStation3.com heads to the US PlayStation page, so it follows that they would want similar sites to do the same.

Well, the directions are like a novel and we almost sent this back because of that and that is why I give it 4 stars! However, after about 45 minutes of OMG how am I going to do this...I got my head together and started putting it together, It took me about an hour to put together with the help of my hubby.....one of the lattice thingies did not fit properly so I used the glue to make sure it would hold in the hole... other than that, the Arbor looks really nice I have to admit in our backyard...we fixed it so our grape vine will grow up it...

The Cripple Effect
Last week we explored The Ripple Effect, which is the dynamic exchange of energy within our relationships. We enter the world as 'radiators' of energy in the form of our thoughts, attitudes and actions. Our relationships are also our mirrors in which we can see ourselves and can gauge the quality of the energy we emit. And we are also boulders in the pond of life reflecting back the energy of others as they radiate at us!
An understanding of this external exchange reminds us to be aware of the quality of our radiance. However there is an internal dimension to this dynamic and it is very much a part of what is often referred to as 'your karma'. Karma essentially means action and 'your karma' usually refers to the actions that you have recorded in the past that are now affecting your present. The basic principle is that everything that you think, feel and do is recorded within your consciousness. Your 'records' of yesterday will play a large part in shaping your created responses today, which in turn will shape the thoughts/feelings/actions and outcomes of your responses tomorrow.
For example, lets say one day you become really angry at David for something he has said or done. In the moment of creating the emotion of anger you create a record, an impression, a memory track within your consciousness. Recorded in that track is the image of David entwined with the emotion of anger. Three days later you are walking down the street. Coming the other way on the other side of the street you see a familiar figure. The image of that person enters your consciousness and it matches the image of David that you already have in your memory. So up pops the thought, "That's David", but it is accompanied by the emotion of anger. So anger re-enters your consciousness. David walks over to talk to you. But you can't converse clearly, you can't exchange calmly and peacefully, you can't give David your full, open and positive attention? Why? Because your consciousness has been hijacked with an emotional disturbance called anger. In effect it is as if your consciousness is 'crippled' by your previously created and recorded emotion and a negative image. This is called the 'cripple effect'.
In other words 'your karma' really has little to do with David and more to do with how you created David and reacted towards David in the past, which is affecting your ability to communicate now.
Our actions (which really means our creations) yesterday, affect our ability to respond today. With some people it's not just one person that 'triggers' anger or negative images/emotions. Almost everyone they encounter i.e. people in general, may trigger such an internal, emotional reaction. And a 'reaction' is simply the 're-activation' of an already recorded set of thoughts, emotions and behaviours. In other words our 'karma' is the action of creating and recording our thoughts/emotions/behaviours and then replaying those thought/emotions/behaviours automatically at a later date in a way that will influence either negatively or positively the outcome of the interaction. And while we may think we are 'in control' of ourselves in the interaction it is in fact the past records of our thoughts/feelings actions that are more in control.
While many believe 'their karma' is something that exists outside themselves, usually with other people, in fact it is almost entirely an internal issue. What is often not seen or realised is that action (karma) begins at the level of our beliefs, then our perceptions and then our thoughts. Essentially it comes down to the 'action of creation'. The process goes something like this.
When we are young most of us learn from those 'big people' the idea that others are responsible for our feelings of happiness or unhappiness. So we create (action) and keep re-creating the belief that others behaviours are responsible for what we feel. This belief then becomes deeply layered within our consciousness and then shapes the creation or our perception/thought/attitude/action towards others, like David in our example above. It is our belief that David is responsible for how we feel that moves us to create David in a negative light in our consciousness when he does not do what we want or approve of. This negative light is called anger. So we record the emotion of anger around the image of David. And eventually all we need is to see someone who looks like David, or someone who behaves similarly to David, and this triggers the re-emergence of the emotion into our consciousness and the behaviour that follows. And as the emotion re-emerges we create a little more, adding to it, growing it, until perhaps one day just the slightest word or gesture from anyone triggers our 'records of the anger'.
This emotion then ripples outwards and into other relationships and is likely to be 'reflected' back when others 'catch' our energy/emotion then create their own version and send it back to us. It will certainly affect our performance at work or in our sport. It could easily spiral into violence. Or some people may just eventually start avoiding us. Or perhaps over time, it will affect our physical health. It's at his point a common mistake is made in both our understanding of 'karma' and the way we use the word karma. We may sometimes say something like, "Well they are like that, or they are suffering like that, or they are being denied that opportunity, or that's happening to them…. because it's 'their karma'". When used in this way it implies a fate over which we have no control. But the opposite is true. As soon as we understand how our karma (action) is created and how our recorded actions from the past influence our results/outcomes/situations today, we realise we can do something about it. Our destiny is back in our hands. We can simply learn to interrupt the emergence of the our recorded patterns in our life today, be more discerning about the actions we create today, and know that we are now consciously shaping the consequences which will manifest tomorrow.
And so our karma has its roots deep within our consciousness. One particular 'inner action' (karma) of creation that seems to affect us most is how we create our self-image. Not in a physical sense but in a more subtle sense. If we learn to create the belief that we are bad or negative or a rejected person, or just a person who is hopelessly unable to affect their life, this subtle self created image will influence all that we think/feel/do and achieve for the rest of our life. Most significantly it will be a major influence on how we see/perceive others in our life. When we perceive 'the other' we create the other, and that 'action' of creation' is shaped to a large extent by how we see ourselves.
When we see ourselves 'darkly', i.e. negatively in any way, we will tend to create and see others darkly. Each time we do, we create another layer of recorded darkness within our consciousness. Slowly but surely, as we look at others and the world through this darkness, both they and the world will 'appear' to be increasingly dark. For dark read negative. This can be a slow and subtle process so there is the tendency not to notice what we are doing at this subtle level. This then shapes the energy we radiate outwards to others which will tend to be reflected back to a similar degree (unless 'the other' is aware of this dynamic and have learned to interrupt/change their patterns of 'dark energy exchange' – they would be called enlightened)
When we do become aware it reminds us to consciously practice creating others and the world in a positive light, a 'lighter' light. But this will only work when we start with our self. This is why almost every spiritual path/philosophy begins with the answer to the question Who Am I? And the answer is usually 'light', just light, or the pure light of consciousness.
When shed our habit of creating endarkened layers within our consciousness, when we know and see ourselves in a positive light, when we realise ourselves as the brightest light in our own life, when we know we are the creators of our destiny in life, we automatically create others 'in that bright light'. In so doing we emit that quality of light which both 'reflects' back and 'attracts' back light of the same or similar quality in the form or circumstances, opportunities and relationships. And that is why when we see that happening to someone else we sometimes find ourselves saying, "They must have 'good karma'". But it's no accident, they don't just have it, they created it.
Question: As you look at your life today in which relationships do you sense you have the tendency to 'cripple' your self?
Reflection: Why do you think that is?
Action: Consciously practice seeing/creating everyone you encounter this week in a positive light and see what difference it makes?

STEUBENVILLE, OHIO—Father Terence Henry, TOR, president of Franciscan University of Steubenville, says the newest proposed revisions to the Obama administration's contraceptive mandate continue to deny Franciscan University the freedom to exclude "morally objectionable" items from its employee healthcare plan.
See complete coverage of our fight for religious liberty and conscience rights.
Father Henry made the comment in a March 27 statement submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regarding the mandate, which requires health plans to cover abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization procedures.
Father Henry explained that as a Catholic institution, Franciscan University cannot facilitate such coverage "without violating Catholic Church teaching on the sanctity of human life and the purpose of marriage," and said that the proposed accommodation would "force us to play a key role" in facilitating contraceptive coverage.
The proposal "would require Franciscan University's simple act of contracting with an insurer to trigger automatic coverage for pills and procedures that we, as a Catholic university, find morally objectionable," he said, adding that employees cannot opt out of the automatic coverage, "even when it deeply offends their religious beliefs."
His statement called the Obama administration to protect Franciscan University's "rights of conscience and religious liberty as a Catholic institution—and, indeed, the rights of all Americans—instead of picking and choosing whose exercise of religion is protected and whose is not."
If the administration refuses to "restore our First Amendment right to religious liberty," Father Henry said, "Franciscan University will have no choice but to continue our fight to live the faith we believe."
Read the full text of Father Henry's comment.
The deadline for public comments on the proposed revisions to the HHS mandate is April 8. Comments may be submitted at the regulations.gov website.

Yesterday, the big story out of the NBA was the Spurs' decision to send their four best players home before their game vs. the Miami Heat. I immediately jumped to Twitter to try and get some different thoughts on this decision and David Stern's subsequent reaction from a sports business perspective. Thanks to everyone for sharing their comments!

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Water over the dam: Durham Town Council votes to preserve Mill Pond for as long as possible
Wednesday, July 10, 2013
DURHAM — A resolution to preserve Mill Pond for the duration of its useful life has been unanimously adopted by the Town Council.
In 2010, the dam was recognized by the state Preservation Alliance for its "Seven To Save" program. "Many interests of the community will be served by preserving the Mill Pond Dam and all the amenities associated with the dam," the resolution states, including recreation, scenic vistas, and the potential for a microturbine. Engineer of the dam was Charles Elbert Hewitt, chairman of the first Electrical Engineering Department at the University of New Hampshire. Resident and local quarryman, Daniel Chesley, built the dam. A community celebration to mark the 100th anniversary of the dam will be held Sept. 15. "Mill Pond Dam adds immeasurably to the rich fabric of the community," the resolution states. "The resolution, as a statement by the Durham Town Council at this point in time, notes the fascinating history of the dam, the many benefits of the Mill Pond Dam to the Durham community, the structural soundness of the 100-year-old structure, the need for its preservation, and the Council support for the continuation of the Mill Pond Dam for the duration of its useful life," Town Administrator Todd Selig said.

Acquisition Will Make Ixia a Leader in 3G and 4G Wireless Test Market
CALABASAS, CA, May 11, 2009 – Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement with Catapult Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: CATT) (�Catapult�), under which Ixia will acquire Catapult for $9.25 per share in cash. �The transaction is valued at approximately $105 million, or $63 million net of Catapult's cash and investments. �The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter.
Catapult's 3G and 4G wireless networking test solutions are an excellent complement to Ixia's complete line of IP performance test systems and service verification platforms. �With this acquisition, Ixia will be able to provide a single source solution for testing converged multiplay IP services over wireless and wireline networks to new and existing customers, specifically telecom equipment manufacturers and global service providers.

"We are at an inflection point where today's advanced communications are quickly merging into a single, seamless delivery network that combines fixed and mobile communications,� said Atul Bhatnagar, President and CEO of Ixia. ��This acquisition will position Ixia as a leading source for end-to-end IP test solutions for wireline and wireless networks.�In addition to immediately expanding our addressable market and making us a leader in 3G and 4G wireless testing, the acquisition will help drive top and bottom line growth.�
"Ixia and Catapult bring together complementary strengths in IP and wireless communications testing in terms of technology leadership and product portfolio," said Dick Karp, Chairman and CEO of Catapult. "By combining Ixia's multiplay IP test capabilities with Catapult's wireless test expertise, Ixia will be able to offer the market a single, powerful solution that leverages both companies' technologies, customers, and global distribution channels to accelerate growth and innovation in key markets."
The acquisition will be conducted by means of a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Catapult, followed by a second-step merger.�The board of directors of Catapult has unanimously recommended that the stockholders of Catapult accept the offer, and Dick Karp and Nancy Karp have entered into a support agreement to tender their shares, which represent approximately 37% of shares outstanding.�The offer, which is expected to commence within the next ten business days, will be subject to customary conditions, including acceptance of the tender offer by the holders of a majority of Catapult's outstanding shares and regulatory approvals (including antitrust compliance).
This transaction is expected to be accretive to Ixia's non-GAAP earnings as early as the fourth quarter of 2009.�Non-GAAP earnings exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and other non-recurring charges, net of the applicable tax effects.
Thomas Weisel Partners LLC is acting as financial advisor and Bryan Cave LLP is acting as legal counsel to Ixia.

Remember the good old days when your dad would want to show off how cute you were. Whenever he could get the chance he'd whip out his wallet and that accordion style photo holder would flop out with a dozen embarrassing photos…well today's kids have it even worse. Think about it, with an iPhone the parents of today can walk around with over a decade of snap shots in their pocket just waiting to embarrass their 25 year old son with…no, I'm not bitter!
To make matters worse, not only can they whip them out at a moments notice but now they can share a copy of them with anyone on the spot simply via MMS or e-mail. If you're not familiar with this, it can be easily done from the Photos application. Clicking on the arrow in the lower left corner of the Album View will bring up 3 options. "Share," "Copy," and "Delete." Next you're able to select up to 5 photos and by tapping on the Share icon you're can choose either "MMS" or "Email." Quick, simple and to the point, right? But what if you have 12 or more photos you'd like to share, is your only answer going back and forth creating 3 separate e-mails? Nope, here's your trick: Copy. By selecting the Copy option instead of the Share your iPhone will allow you to select as many as you like and paste them in a new blank e-mail all at once. This can be a handy little time saver but there are some restrictions. For starters it won't work for MMS and also the number of photos you can send in a single e-mail is limited by how large of a message your provider will allow you to send. Oh and BTW, this trick does not work with videos either.
Now if you're a parent, go forth and embarrass away with all of those priceless photos. If you're the victim…I mean child in this disastrous scenario well then I'm sorry. But do take some comfort in the knowledge that someday you'll probably be sharing your kid's holograms via text.

Savvy shopper 2: Michele Easter
For 30 years, Michele Easter of Bountiful, Utah, has been clipping coupons. In that time, the world has changed a lot, but Easter's savings haven't: With coupons, she still routinely cuts 30 to 50 percent off her bill.
The best source for coupons has traditionally been the Sunday paper, says Easter, mother of three and the author of Shop Like a Coupon Queen, but you can also find great deals online. Popular several years ago, Internet coupons all but died out after a rash of counterfeits left stores wary of accepting them. Now they're back and slowly being accepted.
Food coupons on the Web often offer discounts on new or promotional items, but you'll also find them for pantry staples like tea, butter, chips, coffee, juice, cereal, and pet food.
Many coupon sites let you search by product name. Mycoupons.com directs shoppers to sites where they can instantly redeem coupons for online purchases. Valpak.com will customize your coupon search to your zip code, telling you what's on sale with a coupon on a given day in your area. A typical search on this site turns up printable coupons for brand-name pickles, baby food, cereal, and pasta. Valpak.com will also send you alerts via e-mail when new coupons are available in your zip code.
Rebates are Easter's other secret weapon. Rebates and refunds can take $1, $5, or more off the cost of an item but only if you remember to mail them in.
How to win at rebates:
- In the supermarket, keep an eye out for displays that advertise manufacturer's rebates or refunds.
- Put your receipts in your purse, not in the grocery bag.
- At home, clip the proof of purchase before you stash a rebate product in the cabinet. As soon as all the groceries are unpacked, sit down and do the rebate paperwork. Easter keeps a kit of everything she needs (scissors, pen, envelopes, stamps, mailing labels) in a plastic baggie in a kitchen drawer.
- For high-value refunds, photocopy the completed form before you send it in, in case the rebate doesn't show up and you need to contact the manufacturer.
- Forgot to pick up a refund form in the store? Check out the manufacturer's Website. You can sometimes find the forms you need and print them out.
- Keep a list of rebates you've sent in, with the numbers to call for information. Note how long the company says the rebate will take to arrive; check back if it doesn't show up.
An almost-free Halloween:
About $200 worth of candy, cookies, and snacks...practically free! Easter found a coupon for $1 off any two Nabisco products, good for the entire month. The key words: any and month. She cut dozens of copies of this coupon from store circulars. Using the trick of applying the largest value coupon to the least expensive product, she stocked up on snack-size Oreos, Life Savers, Chips Ahoy, and Teddy Grahams that retailed for 50 cents each. "We handed them out for Halloween," she says. "And we were still enjoying leftover candy a year later." All she paid was a tax of $12.
Strategies to save you more:
- Buy a freezer. Even a small one will help you make the most of great sales on meats and other perishables.
- Stock up after Thanksgiving. There are more food coupons issued in November and December than in any other month. Combined with pre- and post-holiday sales, the end of the year is tops for food savings.
- While shopping, scan the shelves above and below eye level. That's where you'll find the cheaper items. If it's looking right at you, it's more expensive.
- Join frequent-shopper programs. Store-incentive programs can slice up to 10 percent off your total bill. Join them all!
- Mix it yourself. You can pay up to 50 percent more for foods that come with sugar, spices, or sauces already mixed in. And premixed juice costs a hefty 60 percent more than frozen concentrate.
- Bigger isn't always cheaper. Sometimes the unit price is the same whether you buy regular size or jumbo.
- Skip pricey fortified cereals. They promise 100 percent of the recommended vitamins and minerals but this isn't your only meal of the day. Stick with a basic cereal and save.
- Pick up large bags of frozen vegetables instead of the boxes, which generally cost more per serving.
- Don't buy toiletries at the grocery store unless you have a coupon. The price can be 25 percent higher than what you'd pay at the drugstore.
- Go with paper plates. Plastic usually costs twice as much.
Price club or supermarket?
Most coupon queens insist that food is as cheap or even cheaper at the grocery store especially if you have double coupons or if you combine your coupons with weekly sales. "The price club advertises chicken at $2.69 a pound like it's a big deal. But when chicken's on sale at my grocery store, I get it for $2 a pound," says Stephanie Nelson. Some shoppers, however, swear by clubs like Costco and BJs for basics like paper goods and seasonal items.

Georgia Motorsports Park Click
here to view the Photo
Gallery After
rains washed out Friday's race action, fans and racers gathered for the
AutoZone Super Chevy Show event at South Georgia Motorsports Park were
treated to beautiful blue skies on Saturday.
Unfortunately, the weather gods threw in some 20-30 mph winds.
Qualifying was limited to the eighth-mile distance for safety, but
was as exciting as ever.
Nitro Coupes made up the field. Current
series champion Randy Adler led qualifying with a blast of 4.169 at 174.93
in his 1957 Chevy. Wayne
Torkelson ran a 4.27 for second spot, followed by Mel Eaves in his new
Corvette (4.28), Tommy Howes (4.29), Dave Tomasino (4.37), Jeff Merritt
(4.617), and Mike Swinarski (4.619).
Bruce Boland ran his new '53 Corvette in the second session, but
did not appear on the official qualifying sheet. This
year Top Sportsman was added to the Super Chevy program.
Dave Saul led qualifying with a 4.60 151.94, followed by Mike
Thompson (4.80), Terry Duffy (4.83), Frank Palmer (5.06), Clarence Cloud
(5.09), Flyin' Brian Harrison (5.48), and Tommy Turner (6.87).
hot exhibition action, Bob Hall thrilled the fans with long wheelstands in
his Airborne Express van. Ken
Walsh made great frame twisting runs in his Mr. 409 nostalgia super
stocker. The high torque
action of this Chevy has to be seen to be believed.
Jessie Harris in the Queen of Diamonds jet and Watkinsville,
Georgia's own Paul Miller in his US-1 made two great passes.
In her final attempt, Ms. Harris ran a great 3.564 225.90 in the
Queen of Diamonds when Miller fouled. On Sunday, fans witnessed a great day of racing, with
competition in Jets, Nitro Coupes, Wheelstanders, Top Sportsmen, Super
Pro, Pro, DOT racers, and Jr. Dragsters thrilling the crowd.
the first round of jet competition, Jessie Harris and Paul Miller topped
300 mph side by side. Jessie
set the track record with a 5.269 at 301.00, edging out Paul Miller who
ran a close 5.310 300.00. In
the second of two scheduled runs, Jessica bettered her E.T. record with a
5.227 but the clocks failed to record her speed. Miller had problems and
was forced to shut off early. In
Nitro Coupe competition, No. 1 qualifier Randy Adler looked like the man
to beat, but this is drag racing! In
round one, Adler (6.41, 217) beat Mike Swinarski (6.72, 202), Tommy Howes
(6.56, 213) beat Dave Tomasino's beautiful stars and stripes Camaro
(6.80, 208), Mel Eaves in his new '63 Corvette (6.34, 223.88 low E.T.
and top speed of eliminations) beat Bruce Boland (7.05 215), and Wayne
Torkelson (7.55, 146) beat a troubled Jeff Merritt (13.11, 60.98).
In round two, Howes upset Adler with a 6.49, 214 to a losing 9.41,
92.91. Eaves ran a consistent
6.367, 223.73 to down Torkelson's game 6.54, 214.
In the final, Howes ran 6.59, 209 to beat Eaves' blower-exploding
6.86, 166.91. Experience and
consistency paid off for Howes as he beat the favorites on his way to the
In Top Sportsman presented by Procharger, seven cars battled for the honors over the eighth mile. In round one, Terry Duffy ran a 4.96 on his 4.70 dial in to beat a troubled Flyin' Brian Harrison. Mike Thompson ran a 4.80 on his 4.79 dial to oust Clarence Cloud's beautiful Willys, 5.07 on a 5.00 dial. Frank Palmer beat a fouling Tommy Turner. Palmer would have broken out on his run. Number one qualifier Dave Saul took a single in the odd car field. In round two, Thompson beat a fouling Palmer, and Saul ran an impressive 4.587 on a 4.58 dial in to beat Terry Duffy who broke out with a 4.75 on his 4.80 dial in. In the finals, Saul had staging problems and fouled to hand the win to Mike Thompson, who took an easy single.
cars battled for the Mr. Gasket Bracket #1 (Super Pro) bragging rights on
Sunday. This division also
ran the eighth-mile distance. In
the final, reigning Super Pro track champion Carey Locke had a perfect
.000 reaction time and ran 4.761 on his 4.74 dial only to lose to Mike
Ruff's outstanding 6.234 on a 6.23 dial in and a reaction time of .001.
This is racing! In
eighth-mile Pro action, 53 cars fought it out.
In round six, Brandon Wood's wheelstanding red Nova ran a 6.825
on his 6.83 to beat a fouling J. R. Hamelink.
Kelly Spring took a single. In
the final, Wood ran a 6.832 on his 6.83 dial in (.033 reaction time) to
beat Spring's 6.903 on his 6.89 dial in (.055 reaction time). Full
quarter-mile DOT eliminator boiled down to Brandon Tillman's orange
Corvette out of Moultrie, Georgia and Lea Uhler's van out of
Gainesville, Florida. In the
double breakout final, Tillman won with a 15.05 on his 15.14 dial to
Uhler's very late light and 12.56 on a 12.70 dial in
Dragster was a family affair as reigning class track champion Bobby Mouat
beat sister Morgan. The
racing Mouat family had quite a weekend as dad Bruce won the special
Saturday night bonus race combining Super Pro and Pro.
Bruce ran a 4.904 on his 4.90 dial in to take the money.
Joe Williams in his beautiful "Undercover" dragster had to
settle for runner-up with a 5.08 on is 5.05 dial. Bob
Hall brought out his exciting Airborne Express wheelie van to thrill
the crowd. After a couple of
great passes, he broke the crank. But
Bob was not finished. He dug
deep into his trailer and brought out the old Paddy Wagon wheelstander and
made more great passes to the delight of the crowd!
What a showman!

Posttranslational modifications such as ubiquitination and phosphorylation play an important role in the regulation of cellular protein function. Homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) is a member of the recently identified family of nuclear protein kinases that act as corepressors for homeodomain transcription factors. Here, we show that HIPK2 is regulated by a ubiquitin-like protein, SUMO-1. We demonstrate that HIPK2 localizes to nuclear speckles (dots) by means of a speckle-retention signal. This speckle-retention signal contains a domain that interacts with a mouse ubiquitin-like protein conjugating (E2) enzyme, mUBC9. In cultured cells, HIPK2 is covalently modified by SUMO-1, and the SUMO-1 modification of HIPK2 correlates with its localization to nuclear speckles (dots). Thus, our results provide firm evidence that the nuclear protein kinase HIPK2 can be covalently modified by SUMO-1, which directs its localization to nuclear speckles (dots).

and 32 computational node; the latter are subdivided into
1 storage node (storage1
), and
31 compute nodes (node01
through node31
All machines have two Intel Xeon 2.0 GHz CPUs with 512 kB cache.
The compute nodes have 1 GB of memory, while
the head and storage nodes have 4 GB each.
The 32 computional nodes are connected via a
high-performance Myrinet interconnect, thus making
64 processors available for computations.
Only the head node can be accessed from the outside of the machine; it communicates to all other nodes via the cluster network comprising a 100 Mbps ethernet network. The main file storage is on a RAID array on the storage node, which is NFS-mounted to the head node and all other nodes via the cluster network. This RAID array consists of 8 SCSI harddrives with 1 hot swap and striped check-sums as backup; this setup allows for the failure of up to 2 disks without having to retrieve data from backup tapes.
This network schematic illustrates visually the network connectivities of the Myrinet and ethernet networks, the connection to the outside world, and the placment of the RAID array; notice how the connection speeds are marked, pointing out that the ethernet switch is a special one with two faster 1 Gbps ports to prevent the two most-often used connections, to the management and storage nodes, from becoming bottlenecks. A third network, the management network, is not shown.
Finally, after the abstract information given so far, the rack schematic shows how the components discussed are arranged in the two racks. The labels H5 and H6 denote the placement of the racks on the floor of the operations room of UMBC's Office of Information Technology, where the machine is housed. This schematic might be useful to know, when looking at the "Physical View" in Ganglia.

For your convenience, a
symbolic link called scratch
in your home directory
links to this directory directly;
it appears and is used just as if it were a real directory, i.e.,
you can say cd scratch in your home directory
to get to /scratch/username
but from the outside, it appears as kali.math.umbc.edu
To log in to the system, you must use a secure shell like ssh
Therefore, you can use ssh kali
from inside the department (with identical username) or more generally
ssh -l username kali.math.umbc.edu or equivalently
ssh email@example.com anywhere on the internet, where username denotes your username on
Your username and password will be the same as on other campus systems
such as the gl
See man ssh for more general information.
When you connect to a machine for the first time with ssh
your own machine should warn you about this fact and ask for
confirmation that you want to connect.
If you use ssh
routinely, you will be used to this.
I wanted to point out that, additionally,
the ssh
on kali
will perform some setup
that allows you to connect to the nodes of kali
without typing in passwords. You will see lines such as
generating ssh file /home/gobbert/.ssh/id_dsa ... Generating public/private dsa key pair.in this process.
Let me explain the use of scp by the following example:
The user username
has a file hello.c
in sub-directory math627/hw1
from his home directory
on kali
. To copy the file to the current
directory on another Unix/Linux system with scp, use
scp email@example.com:math627/hw1/hello.c .Notice carefully the period "." at the end of the above sample command; it signifies that you want the file copied to your current directory (without changing the name of the file).
As with ssh, you can leave out the username@,
if your username agrees on both machines. If issuing the command
from within the Mathematics domain at UMBC, you can also abbreviate the
machine name to kali
See man scp for more information.
To specify the programming environment completely, you still
have to select which compiler to use; you must then use the
MPI installation compiled against the selected compiler.
Two suites of compilers are available on kali
one from Intel and one from the GNU.
Specifically, the Intel compilers are icc
for C/C++ and
for Fortran 90/95.
And the GNU compilers are gcc
for C/C++ and
for Fortran 77.
The corresponding MPI implementations are
in the /usr/opt/mpich-188.8.131.52-ch_gm-icc
directory tree
for the Intel compilers and
under /usr/opt/mpich-220.127.116.11-ch_gm-gcc
for the GNU compilers.
Notice that you should always compile your MPI code using
the MPI scripts for your language such as mpicc
for C;
see below for more information.
The names of the serial compilers above is only provided
as background information.
As a matter of background, I mention that for successful
compiling, linking, and running, several things have to come
together correctly: Your path has to include the
location of the correct compile script, the MPI header files
have to be found, and the correct MPI libraries have to be found.
This is all conveniently set up correctly for you by the
utility. See its man page for
more information (man switcher
), but the most
needed commands are these:
switcher mpi --listThis should list
, and
The names involving icc
and gcc
indicate the compilation against the Intel and GNU compilers, respectively.
Additionally, you notice that we have now the LAM implementation of MPI
available as well, but I have not tested it myself;
if someone does test it, please let me know!
switcher mpi --showThe GNU compiler suite is the default, so upon your first login, this should show
If you are satisfied with this default choice,
you do not need to do anything else.
switcher mpi = mpich-ch_gm-icc-188.8.131.52Notice furthermore that this selection remains in effect across sessions, so you will only need to do this once during your first login to
(unless you wish to change your selection later again).
Notice carefully that this selection becomes "effective for
future shells", as it correct states (no matter what the --show
option might tell you);
so, you either have to log out and log in again before attempting
to compile and run MPI code, or you can run the script
designed exactly for this purpose;
see the man page for switcher
for this information.
that contains
some MPI commands. The compilation and linking of your code should
work just like on other Linux clusters using the mpich implementation of MPI.
Hence, compile and link the code both in one step by
mpicc -o sample sample.cThe script mpicc works on the surface just like any regular compiler. For instance, the option -o sample chooses the name of the output file (here the executable file), and mpicc compiles and links in (seemingly) one step.
If your code includes mathematical functions (like exp
, etc.), you need to link to the mathematics library
. This is done, just like for serial compiling,
by adding -lm to the end of your combined compile and link command,
that is,
mpicc -o sample sample.c -lmIn a similar fashion, other libraries can be linked.
More formally, I could also separate the compile from the link step.
That is, the C file sample.c
is first compiled into object code
(default output name, if the option -c
is used), which then gets linked to the required libraries
to obtain the executable sample
The sequence of the two commands
mpicc -c sample.c mpicc -o sample sample.o -lmaccomplishes this, where the option
stands for "compile-only".
See the man page of mpicc for more information by saying
man mpicc
If you want to compile C++ or Fortran programs, the logic of the commands is the same as above. Simply replace mpicc by mpiCC, mpif77, or mpif90. See their man pages for additional information.
Notice that the MPI compile scripts mpicc, mpiCC, mpif77, and mpif90 have the same name for each of the MPI implementations available. Which one is used depends on which implementation you have selected with switcher. Notice also from their man pages that any option that is not recognized as a MPI option is passed through to the underlying compiler; so you might want to know the name of the underlying compiler to be able to pull up its man page. Caution: As you saw from the above list, GNU does not have a Fortran 90 compiler, so it is not clear what mpif90 might do when using the GNU MPI implementation; let me know if you find anything out about this and other issues, so I can post more details here.
Finally, to be doubly sure which compiler is accessed by your MPI compile script, you can use the -show option as in
mpicc -o sample sample.c -showThis option causes mpicc to show what compile commands it would issue without actually issuing them; then notice at the beginning of every line what compiler you see.

Have a great trip!
Dear Penny and Phil, I like the idea of being able to travel with you (so to speak). I'll be checking in to track your progress. Have a grand (canyon) time! Love, Mike
Getting Ready and weather watching!
Motorcycle Diaries
Hey, you two! Thought I'd send you a note from South Korea...you've got a world-wide fan base! Your trip sounds like lots of fun, even though I'm slightly afraid of motorcylces. Please slow down as you approach the canyon edge...Thelma and Louise moments may look cool in movies, but I doubt they're as much fun in real life. :)
At first I thought it was my duty as a social studies teacher to inform you that LA was NOT on the way to Lincoln, Nebraska...but then decided that LA must be a person. :D
Also, I feel it's my duty to inform everyone about a marvelous documentary (that also fits with the stride of your travel blog). It's called 'Long Way Round' and it's about Ewan McGregor (actor--Moulin Rouge, among others) and his best friend's motorcycle trip around the world (London to New York). It is very good. I demand you watch it.
Have fun!
Bon Voyage!
Mom and Dad....I hope you have an awesome trip. Mom, may your bike only tip a hand-full of times. Just kidding. :)
Emily, your comments were soooo funny! Especially the LA and Thelma and Louise comments.
Phil and Penny,
Checking in on your day. It sounds like a nice visit with your friends in Lincoln and a good ride to McCook. Lincoln is a nice town. I remember lots of good things when we were there for the Mid-America Print conference. I easily found the town on my map. I talked to Mother earlier. She told me all about the garden planting and thought you worked more than you should have Penny. She does like her flowers though. She'll go with Steve to church and breakfast tomorrow. Have a good rest and safe traveling on Mother's Day. Love, Mike
From Greenville - Wednesday AM
Penny and Phil,
Thanks for the photographs, the bikes and landscape look great but the moose looks better. Phil, I think it would be perfect in the back yard. The front legs look similar to parts of the huge orange Alexander Calder sculpture in Chicago.
Sorry you weren't able to see the shops in Taos. By this time (7:42et) I would guess you aren't on your bikes headed for Flagstaff.
I did note while I was looking at your site some of my notes are posted and some aren't. It's not a big deal, and maybe I just can't find them. Just wanted you to know that I've been following your trip religiously and enjoy all the postings and photographs.
Have a good ride to Flagstaff. I hope all the shops are open!
Love, Mike

Promoter Mark Hedin is breaking his ultimate rule next weekend.
For his fourth annual Montana Brews & BBQs, Hedin will allow (gasp) canned beer. The beer festival is Saturday, July 12, at the pond at MetraPark.
Dog Tag Brewing is no ordinary canned beer. In fact, the can itself is as important as what's inside. That's why the brother-and-sister brewers, Emily and Seth Jordan, aren't selling their beer in kegs.
Each can honors a fallen soldier killed in the war in Iraq, with a photo and a brief biography of the soldier. More information on the soldiers, including videos and photographs, is available at www.dogtagbrewing.com. There are 12 soldiers featured now and another 12 will be profiled in coming months.
While the first batch of Dog Tag Brewing's two beers, an IPA and a lager, was just canned and shipped in May, the roots of the beer go back to 2001.
Seth was living and working in national TV ad sales for ESPN in New York in September 2001. His apartment was a block away from the twin towers and he worked near the towers.
"I was there when it happened," Seth said.
He walked away from his dream job and enlisted in officer's candidate school for the Marine Corps. He served as an officer and a helicopter pilot from 2004 to 2014. When Seth re-entered civilian life, he thought a lot about the men he served with, especially those who died.
"We started around Memorial Day," Seth said. "Our message with Dog Tag Brewing is every day is Memorial Day. All of us should be patriotic. It shouldn't happen one long weekend during a barbecue but every day."
The demand for Dog Tag beer, even the empty cans, is so great that an empty six-pack turned up for sale on eBay for $28, plus $8 in shipping.
"Some guy in Arizona had collected all of the different cans with the different stories and was selling the collection. I think it's great, that people like the idea this much," Emily said.
The beer is available throughout Montana, including Town Pump stores and Albertsons.
A Rhode Island native, Seth fell for Montana's wild places. In addition to serving as the president of Dog Tag Brewing, Seth serves as director of the Warriors in Quiet Waters project, a Bozeman-based nonprofit that takes wounded veterans fly fishing in Montana. Last week, Seth took seven veterans fishing and over the course of the year, he will take 100 veterans out to fly fish.
Seth said he's trying to create positive energy with this project.
"The families like the project and they want to be part of it," Seth said. "We don't exploit these families. All of the information is provided by the families and it is approved by them. We're providing a forum for the family to talk directly to the consumer."
The beer is brewed and shipped from Wisconsin, but the marketing and sales are headquartered in Bozeman. The recipes used are Seth's, and later this year there are plans to introduce another one of Seth's favorite beers, a Scotch ale. Things are happening fast, far exceeding the Jordans' expectations.
"Our first run in May, we were brewing close to 1,000 barrels in one month. We've had a lot of demand and since then, we've doubled our order sizes," Seth said. "This isn't about me and it isn't about Emily; it's about those guys who gave their lives for their country. It's a way for me to continue to serve and give back."

Learning Qt Step by step
hi to all
i found too Qt training file. but i cant found a good step by step (good training index) for learning
now,could you help me?
i wanna to learn Qt so good and advance.
11 replies
a good starting point would be here:
how to learn qt [doc.qt.nokia.com]
or here:
getting started [doc.qt.nokia.com]
You can try a book, for some of us the books (even if Qt ones are somehow out-dated) are the best way to "get into" an framework – the books usually presents the topics in some organized way and it seems to me that you need exactly that, here [developer.qt.nokia.com] you can find some descriptions of Qt related books.
//if i remember correctly the first edition of C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 is available for free download – even if that one uses Qt 4.1 is still a good start, because you can switch to documentation site after you get the basic concepts used by Qt framework.
Also this [doc.qt.nokia.com] documentation page can be used to read about specific Qt "patterns" – so might be a good start.
I would also suggest Qt in Education course material [qt.nokia.com]
There are some strategies:
1. A good book is C++ GUI Programming with Qt4. Here is the useful documentation you'll need http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/index.html
2 . Plan for a project to realize in Qt and work to it while you read Qt documentation.
3. My strategy: I planed to read all.
I've devided my time in two parts: reading part and working to my project part.
a) Reading part: I read a section from the book, then I complete the knowledge I've accumulated with the documentation from here http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/index.html . Ex. I read about Widgets in the book, then I read about Widgets in the documentation site, then I read the exercises code from Widgets section. Of course I write the exercises from the book, compile and execute them; I compile and execute the exercises from the site, I modify the code when I want to see some behaviour and so one … I also plan when I finish the exercises to head for Demonstrations.
b) Working on my project part. This is the most beautiful part and I like it the most.
4. My strategy is not the best. Many people don't read all the stuff but jump to the parts relevant to their project. Some don't even bother too much to search for documentation, they post a topic in forum with something that they want to realize and receive the links to the relevant documentation. Looks they are more efficient. They complete their projects faster than me.
I don't think a book is necessary. You first have to understand (or at least know ) some of the design practices and specifics mechanisms of the framework. For example, you have to understand signal and slots mechanisms or the parent-child hierarchy of QObjects. The best way is to read the dedicated articles on the website or watch the videos as suggested earlier. Then there is 2 methods which complement each other: Reading the Examples source gives the advantage to see exactly the code and the results (and even to see how it behaves differently when you modify the source); Reading the documentation every time you want to do anything :). You want to read a file? First search "read a file " on this forum and see which responses are given by the gurus or people which seems to know what they talk about.
quick note: I started my first day at work with 0 knowledge of Qt and had to learn while building my application… So really don't miss the first step because I did.
If you want to headstart…the videos posted on this youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/VoidRealms really helped me. I started from scratch here. He covers the basic elements very well and once you reach tutorial 30 ….you feel pretty confident to move on on your own and of course with the help of this amazing group of people contributing to the development forums.
Cool videos amban. Have you looked at some of the previous summit talks available on this site? Check them out [developer.qt.nokia.com]
These codes is not enough , where is the other codes? Could you Email me the other codes?
[COPY FROM Your text to link here… [qt-project.org]]
Let us look at the code:
Line 13 declares the slot quit(). This is easy using the slots macro. The quit() slot can now be connected to signals. We will do that later.
Instead of setting up the GUI and connecting the slot in the main() function, we now use Notepad's constructor.
20 Notepad::Notepad() 21 { 22 textEdit = new QTextEdit; 23 quitButton = new QPushButton(tr("Quit")); 24 25 connect(quitButton, SIGNAL), this, SLOT)); 26 27 QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout; 28 layout->addWidget(textEdit); 29 layout->addWidget(quitButton); 30 31 setLayout(layout); 32 33 setWindowTitle(tr("Notepad")); 34 }As you saw in the class definition, we use pointers to our QObjects (textEdit and quitButton). As a rule, you should always allocate QObjects on the heap and never copy them.We now use the function tr() around our user visible strings. This function is necessary when you want to provide your application in more than one language (e.g. English and Chinese). We will not go into details here, but you can follow the Qt Linguist link from the learn more table.
Here is the quit() slot:
75 void Notepad::quit() 76 { 77 QMessageBox messageBox; 78 messageBox.setWindowTitle(tr("Notepad")); 79 messageBox.setText(tr("Do you really want to quit?")); 80 messageBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::Yes | QMessageBox::No); 81 messageBox.setDefaultButton(QMessageBox::No); 82 if (messageBox.exec() == QMessageBox::Yes) 83 qApp->quit(); 84 }how to learn qt [doc.qt.nokia.com] or here: getting started [doc.qt.nokia.com]a good starting point would be here:

is that like watercolour stuff
kinda but its ink
Don't forget us when you get famous.
I really enjoyed Louise!
At the end " I wonder what will take it's place " i was hoping there would come another louise since this genie is gone will there be anything taking its place? (oh i just saw it's status is unknown, cool gives me hope)
Ink with water-pages are cool, have you tried watercolour with like.. colours xD?
Good Luck with the rest of your comics cake.
Last edited by Byakuran; 08-17-2012 at 10:20 AM.
No watercolours? Well I hope you at least used wet inks. 8I
Jk. Seriously through, they are pretty nice. They could easily be used as bookends or chapter dividers or something. Mandy is really still my fav, but for some reason Louise wins out just because her pose is adorainsane. It might be the plant pot, but it reminds me of that Dali photo with the cats for some weird reason...
been meaning to respond to these comments >_<
Um I actually decided to do another issue of Louise so that should be coming soon >_> hopefully by end of this month (if I can find a place to scan it)
thx for comment and reading
thanks for comment
one day, but first I need 2 get better at drawing freddie
An other issue of Louise? Yes!
A third issue? Great anthropod's underpants! I thought it ended on a bit of a weird hushed note. More is welcome for sure. ('⊙ω⊙')
finished the chapter but need to buy a big enough scanner >_<

Last year, I visited Bogotá, Colombia, to teach a seminar on conflict reporting. Afterward, a soldier missing two legs and most of one arm rolled up in a wheelchair. As we spoke about land mines and their evils, I asked where his "accident" had occurred. My choice of words provoked a fierce outburst from the soldier, whose voice sounded strangled as he asserted that he had been maimed not by a random mishap, but by a premeditated attack.
"Landmines aren't placed by chance," he explained as if I were a small child—which was how I felt at that moment. "Someone sought to kill me."
The woman pushing his wheelchair added, "You really should mind your language."
She was right. For that is what we journalists covering armed confrontations must remember to do. Words are weapons, as much as any gun or bomb, and you'd better believe that governments treat the language they use to describe a war as seriously as they take the war itself. A phrase can create an image of righteous strength to replace fear and trauma, as we saw with "Operation Freedom." Similarly, clashes can be described in neutered terms that normalize violence and blunt the impact of war. From the tame "regime change," with its implications of order instead of violent overthrow, to the false "victory" in Iraq claimed by George W. Bush, words embed themselves in the national psyche and affect public perception of conflict and its consequences.
This isn't a new problem. Almost 70 years ago, in his essay "Politics and the English Language," George Orwell observed how governments manipulated public opinion by describing violent, inhumane policies in imprecise, euphemistic terms. "Defenseless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification," wrote Orwell. "Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them."
In 2007, CJR devoted an entire issue to the uses and abuses of political and martial rhetoric. Almost five years later, the topic bears revisiting. Conflict reportage ought to give an accurate picture of war and its costs, to counteract official euphemisms with clarity and precision. But too often, reporters veil the stark, uncomfortable truths of combat in opaque language and terminology. As we prepare to leave Afghanistan, possibly enter Iran, and intervene in myriad other conflicts, and as political rhetoric surrounding these conflicts amps up in the final days of the American presidential campaign, editors and reporters must do their best to reclaim vocabulary from those who would use it to obscure and mislead.
Spend any time in a combat zone or triage ward and you'll realize that, at its most basic level, war is carnage. Yet the words that officials use to describe conflict are chosen to minimize this fact, either by portraying the violence in bland, neutral terms, or with language designed to stoke feelings of anger and revenge.
It's no surprise that governments and political interests want to frame conflicts in ways that are most favorable to their own goals and objectives. Covering conflict often entails hanging around political and military officials—at briefings, at press conferences, during embeds—and reporters can absorb the jargon without even realizing it. These sterile euphemisms are familiar to any news consumer. The sanitized and manipulative "collateral damage" refers to an unintended killing of civilians; one has to look beyond the words to photographs of massacred wedding parties to fully understand what actually happened. The phrase "smart bomb" conveys intelligence instead of carnage. My 11-year-old son was astounded to hear that "friendly fire" was not friendly at all. "You've got to be kidding," he nearly spat when he learned the definition: killing fellow troops by accident. "I thought it meant you shot at but didn't hurt someone. Why don't they just say it's like a home goal?"
Other times, officials want to inflame rhetoric rather than defuse it. In 2008, a US government memo counseled personnel to avoid using words that have a positive association for many Muslims, such as "mujahidin," "salafi," "ummah," and "jihadi." It prescribes instead such English phrases as "terrorists," "extremists," and "totalitarians." During the 50 years of Basque separatist uprising, the Spanish government tried to convince journalists not to describe the violence as a "conflict." To deploy that word would legitimize the ETA guerrillas, whom Madrid generally prefers to call "criminals." Similarly, during Angola's 27-year civil war, the government often described UNITA rebels as "bandits," a trivializing expression for a formidable force that was amply armed by the US and South Africa.
